There was a fair discussion at the Conservative rally last evening of a resolution introduced by C. E. Race. This resolution Bet out that the province showed ever a deficit. That this deficit was owing to the big corporations only paying one tenth of their share. That this robbery amounted to $250,000 annually. That this amount waB more than the amount of the deficit, and consequently that the poorer people would escape taxation to some extent If that amount was collected That the Rossland Conservatives protest against suoh a fiscal polioy. C. E. Race supported the resolution of whioh the meaning is given above. W. Thompson and others pointed out it had not been shown that the deficit originated in the manner shown, that it had not been more than merely asserted that the railways only paid one-tenth of their share, that the deficit was more than a quarter million, generally asserting that the mover did not know what he was talking about. C, E. Race murmured something about a "cloven hoof." Little Willie said his feet were normal, that he wae tired of that kind of buncombe and insisted on the withdrawal of tbe imputation. Chairman Goodeve stood pat. C. E. Race took backwater. It was then moved to suspend discussion for a week, during whioh time the framers of the resolution might prepare some evidence in support of its assertions. It was aooordingly hoisted.

LONDON RATES-S1.13 per annum -_ —— JAMES H. FLETCHER. GENERAL". MANAGER P. O.'.Box 902 KosHland, B. C. CONCENTRATION. It is Btill thought in some quarters that the cost of concentration, now that smelter costs are much reduoed, is likely to be equivalent to smelting. The only way to explode this lingering mieconception is to tabulate the figures. , Now smelting costs vary, the cheapest being that which gives a premium on excess iron. As the latter ore does not lend itself to concentration it may be properly eliminated from this comparison. Silicious ore, the beat for concentration, is expensive to smelt, owing to the amount of coke necessary. Concentrates on the contrary, owing to the high percentage of smelt- »er matte are valued by smelters and sought after, especially as little fuel, owing to the absence of earthy matters, is necesBary for their reduction. Consequently far cheaper rate is possible for them. Again freight rates of con centrates, if shipped by the car load should not be dearer than carloads, of raw ore. Granting theBe premises and letting it be assumed that a fair smelter rate for silicious ore of ordinary type would be $f>, and.for concentrates $2.f>0, let ub compare the cost; of smelting ore whioh will oonoentrate at 8 to 1, . with the coBt of reduction by the Elmore process: 8 tons mining $32.00 8 tons smelting 44.00 8 tons freight 2.00 age those who are laboring for jm- proved methods of civic government. Twenty-five years ago,,the business of the city was transacted by a multitude of committees, sitting behind closed doo.s, thft mo Uvea of tbeir action being hiddeD, and the secrecy preserved covering a vast amount of petty pilfering that could not exist in the presence of the preBB. The reporting of, the committees was a Btep towards a a better condition. A further movement forward was made when in 1891 a bill was passed reducing the wards to six and the number of aldermen from 39 to 24. This was accompanied by the amalgamation of the committees and the vesting of more power in the hantlB of the permanent officials—men trained for the special work of their offices. Iu 1890 there followed the formation of the Board of Control, whioh, although often disappointing in its personnel, has, on the whole, been a distinot improvement upon the old executive committee, with its twelve members and the consequent diffusion of responsibility. The latest change in the syBtem is the eleotion of the members of the Board of Control directly by the people, which will take place next January for the first time. "These reforms all indicate a constant search for the the ideal, and tbe tendency has undoubtedly been upward. The progress may be slow, and, to the more ardent, painfully so, but we must not forget that rapid changes are not always safe. Mr. Goldwin Smith has given ub in his 'Political History of the United Kingdom' illuminating account of the Blow but Certain progress of the British IsleB to their system, which iB the highest form of political organiza tion yet evolved. In the light of the experience of the people everywhere in their struggles upward, may we not find reason for a more optimistic view of municipal progress than that pressed by the great scholar other night?"

MUNICIPAL PROGRESS. The following extract from the editorial columns of the Toronto News throws a. strong light upon how star chamber methods such as prevail in Rossland are regarded in the east. The dominant note of pessimism that Bounded throughout Mr. Gold- Smith's address at the dinner of the Canadian Manufactures' Association was hardly jus tided by the municipal experience of the oitizenB of Toronto. It iB true that we have not reached an ideal system, but when the achievmenta of the past few years are considered there is seen to be much to encour- NqTE and comment are see The newspapers of a town like looking glasses, and you yourself as others see you. If your town is doing business the local paper will show it in its advertising columns, but if the merchants are scared, spiritless men, with stocks of goods all jumbled together and no business doing, the newspapers will show it by the lack of space they take. If you want to make your town a live town, the best way to do it is to keep your advertisements constantly before the public in your looal paper Who wants to settle in a dead town whose merchants are too scared to let outside people know that there is any business in the town.—Ex.

Now Is the Time to Buy Lots in Similkameen City, B. e. CAMP HEDLEY is the most talked of camp in the provinoe, and Bituated in the centre is Similkameen City, surrounded by rioh mines whioh will shortly have large payrolls. Over 200 lots have been sold to business people who realize that Similkameen will become the metropolis of this district. The Nickel Plate mines have expended $300,000 in development and are at present building tramways and a 40-stamp mill. Arrangements are being made for the erection of a large smelter at Similkameen City whioh will cost about a million dollars. Besides the Nickel Plate group of claims being developed by one of the richest mining companies in North America, there are several other groups and properties whioh will shortly be developed, among them being the Kingston Mines, Rollo, Wellington, Winnipeg, Red Chief and Pollock. Situated as it is in the beautiful Similkameen valley, midway between Prinoetcn and Keremeos, and proteoted from all opposition in the valley by adjoining a large Indian reservation, this townsite will become one of the principal mining camps of the Pacifio Northwest. It was only a short time ago that lots in Rossland, Nelson, Greenwood and other mining centres were selling for the same price that they are today being sold for in Similkameen. Come in before the boom and double your money. —*~ ■ - Similkameen City to Have Two Railways.

Cole, has returned from Poplar creek. He states that after a visit of ten days to the section, he believes that the reports sent out rather underestimate it. The leads ore all true fissure veins and the free gold discoveries are scattered over such a wide area that there is no doubt that a great gold field has been located. The country in the vicinity of Poplar creek is very difficult to prospect in, the underbrush being very thick and in places almost impassable, so that much time is wasted. On the Luckly Jack claim the owners now employ guards to prevent the quartz being stolen. It was reported when he left tbat this claim was likely to be sold for $75,- 000 oash, negotiations for the deal then being under way. On the Gold Hill claim, the owner C. Magnussen, has covered up the lead with earth and rock, while he went out for supplies, as the ore is so rich that already quite a lot had been stolen. R. L. Wright, A.
