Record on Immigration. New York, May 3.—Reports from Ellis Island indicate that by six o'clock this evening, 13,000 immigrants will have arrived in this city from Europe Bince Friday. This breaks all previous records in the history of the immigration bureau. The lead bounty and duty question came up for discussion last night at a meeting of the board of trade specially summoned to deal with the matter and to which any citizen interested in the lead industry of the Kootenays was invited to be present. There wus not a very large attendance, possibly attributable to the weather, but more probably to a feeling of diffidence as to the ability to discuss the issues. The result of the meeting was that a resolution was passed endorsing the action taken by the associated boards and also of other trade boards of the Kootenays, and adding a rider to the effect that the bounties be increased to double the amounts per ton granted, but no to exceed $100,000 per annum as before arranged. The reason of the rider was from the declaration of the government that there wat no intention of increasing the tariff until after the coronation conference. There was an objection raised at the meeting to any action being taker, by reason of tbe sparseness of the attendance, but it was felt by the majority of those present that all who cared to at'.end whether members of the board of trade or not had had an opportunity of being present. The discussion was along the same lines as those on which the question was discussed at the Liberal meeting of the day before. It was urged that the establishment of the lead refinery was a new thing in the Dominion. That the giving of a bounty would permit of the giving of better prices to the lead producers. That it would also lead to the establishment of a corroding works, involving expensive machinery, for the manufacture of white lead. That the duty on white lead was only five per cent and should be increased to 20 per cent. That the government had practically agreed to do this at the next seBBion, but that in the meantime a doubling of the bounty would act as an incentivo to production in lieu of the increased tariff. It was objected that |the ine case of duty would mean a corresponding increase in the duty on mixed paints whioh would work a hardship on the consumer. This was answered by stating thut the increase of duty would only affect the more expensive paints wed for the interior of buildings and would only affect them slightly, That in any case Kootenay was bound to look after itself and let the eastern manufacturer of paints look after himself later on. Kootenay paid heavily for the benefit of the eastern manufacturer and got nothing directly in return, and that it was only fair that the east should reciprocate in the case at issue. It was further objected that the tendency of the bounty would not be to stimulate production, but that the refinery would be in a position to pocket the whole thing and then not set up an corroding works, and it would therefore be policy to allow the question to re main over till the government could deal with it as a whole. To this it was replied that in the meantime the lead producer would Buffer. The St. Eugene mine, the largest lead producer in the district, was in favor of this bounty being granted and had no fear of anything being d >ne against its interests. All the St. Eugene wanted was a better price for lead and then it would be in a position to open up. The C. P. R. on the other hand would guarantee the erection of a corroding works. If nothing was done the American lead trust would control the situation for another year. "Planter's Perfection Toolh Powder," none so nice and fragrant.

RAILWAY CONTRACT IS SIGNED The Government Will Announce Its Railway Policy on Monday Next, Victoria, May 3.—The most striking feature of the budget debate yesterday was the manner in which Oliver, the member for Delta, rounded upon the government. He made a very bitter speech of an hour and a half's duration, in the course of which he made many sarcastic references io the government and its present railway policy. At the opening of the session Oliver waB counted on as a fairly reliable supporter of Joseph Martin in his alliance with Premier Dunsmuir. The government will announce itB railway policy on Monday. Il ia understood that it will provide or liberal subsidies for both the Coast-to-Kootenay and the Canadian Northern railway projects. The contract for the construction of the latter was Eigned yesterday.

SCHOOLS REOPEN ON MONDAY School Trustees Desire as Full an Attendance as Possible, Tlie Bchool trustees, after careful enquiry into all tho circumstances regarding the prevalence of scarlet fever, have come to the conclusion, with tlie concurrence of tho health authorities, that there no longer ex- istB sullicient reason for keeping the schools closed, and therefore will reopen them on Munday morning next. It is requested that an effort be made by the parents of children to see that they leave for school as the Shut down has already proved prejudicial to the city finances. The government makes a grant on the attendance, and if this falls off the city will have to bear the brunt of the expenses which run as usual, whether the children do or do not attend.

"The program of thc Labor Party, says the Revelstoke Herald, drawn up at the Kamloops convention last week is one which is bound to attract considerable attentioD. This is the lirst time that an attempt has been made to organize a labor party for the province. Labor candidates have run in isolated constituencies on platforms which carried little weight as being merely the expression of opinion of the labor party of single ridings here aDd there. Now we have a clear cut manifesto representing the demands of the party throughout the province. If in power these are the measures which they will carry. If in opposition still theBe are their aims. The platform is a radical one. Other platforms have also contained rad ical planks. The difference in this case iB that the radicalism is sincere. At the same time the platform is a sober and reasonable one. And it is open to question whether an administration which couples some such program as this with a hearty effort to develop the resources of the province, would not fill the bill at least as well as the 'business government' which has been falling doivn all over the place in the effort to run our affairs for the past few years." MINERAL TAX. In defence of the government policy in refusing to lend attention to the movement for the amendment of the mineral tax, so as to remove its unjust incidence on properties of low grade, the Victoria Colonist does its best to prove that the cabinet is entirely without knowledge on the question. The contention is that every tax has an unjust incidence, and that it remain to be shown that any mine in the Kootenays pays a higher tax than it should. Further, that the exemption of the freight and treatment charges from taxation is something for which the Kootenays has to thank the government as a favor. The Colonist then goes off into a diatribe against promoters, but as is shown the real crux of the matter is entirely untouched. The narrow margin of profit on low grade mines is the real cause of the protest against the tax in question. Take a property whose ore is worth $5 per ton, freight and treatment charges $2.25, cost of miuing P2. The profit is 75 cents per ton. Now the government charges a tax of two per cent on the profit plus tho mining charges. That is to say on $2.75. This amounts to 5J cents per ton, or a tax of nearly soven per cent. Now as a high grade mine is paying bu 1 little over two per cent il is evident that this mine is paying a higher tax than it should. Going a step further let it be as sumed that that this company has a capitalization of .f;;,000,000, no extraordinary amount when the necessarily large output of a low grade mine is considered. To pay a ten per cent dividend upon this, it is evident that upwards of •125,- 000 tons of ore have to be mined. Further, let it be supposed that a drop occurs in copper and there is a fall of 50 centB in the value of the ore. The mining and treatment charges will remain about the same, while the profit of the mine has dropped to 25 centa. The government now collects on $2.25 or 4^ cents per ton or 18 per cent. To pay the same dividend tlie company has to mine three timeB the quantity, or upwards of a million and a half tons per annum. To do this it will have to increase its plant and necessarily its capital in such proportion, that the decrease of expences made by handling Ore in larae quantities shall as far as possible counterbalance the amount necessary to be mined to get the same very moderate dividend. The mine is up against an impossible proposition and will have to close down The governments is taking a fifth of its profits, and a slight fluctuation in the price of metals may put it out of business, and thousands' of men are thrown out of employment. Let it be supposed that the tax had not increased in proportion in the latter case and was still 7 per cent, a little figuring would show that the mine is relieved of taxation to the extent of $33,000 and the government would still be getting seven on the net profits. Thus far the argument tends to show that the tax should be on net profits. This Bystem, the Colonist declares, has "nothing to recommend it either in experience or reason." Well let it be so. The Colonist ought to know even if it does not, "Strictly speaking," says the Colonist, "the taxation should be on the gross ontput." Well how will this figure out? On the first proposition advanced, the tax on the grosB output at a value of $5 would yield 10 centB per ton. But the government is apparently happy if it gets 5 cents in this case. In other words if the tax is levied on the grosB output, one per cent is sufficient. That is to say five cents per ton. In this case the mine would still be paying seven per cent on its net profit, but if the value of its ore dropped to $4.50, the tax would be 4^ cents per ton and the tax on the net pro- lit would be still 18 per cent. In other words the pretended benefit given the low grade mine by exempting freight and treatment charges on examination proves to be nil. All this simply means that under such conditions as a government ignorant of mining is wishful of imposing, no company in its senseB will attempt the opening up of low grade properties with ores showing only a narrow margin of profit. But aB there are 100 low grade mines to one of even comparatively high grade, it is easily to be seen that the mining industry of the province ia distinctly discouraged by the Victorian wiseacres. Low grade mining means the presence of thousands of miners in the Kootenays, where hundreds are now employed. But it also means the shifting of the bulk of population up country and the taking of political power out of the hands of the ring that has been ruling the coast. It is probable that the coast people do see the viciousness of the mineral tax, but in view of possible political consequences are too willing that the Kootenays, a forward child, should not be in a position to enforce its demands!

The net profits of the year after paying all operating expenses and all charge of every kind, amounted to $207,848.39. After paying a dividend at the rate of ten percent per annum, a balance of $28,142,89 was carried forward to the credit of profit and Iosb. This company's assets are their coal mines and the townsi e of Fernie. Four years ago this company had no transportation facilities, and their stock sold aB low as eleven cents per share. Today their stock is selling at $90. The Similkameen Valley Coal company, limited, assets are coal mines, timber, water piwer, agricultural and horticultural land, city water works, electric light plant and the townsite of Ashnola, surrounded by the following resources: gold, copper, silver, lead, iron, lime, fire clay, platinum, and a fine stockraisinis country, and It is the smelting center of the Similkameen valley, with a climate that is all that could be asked, You can secure an option on this company's stock by paying 10c per share down, and ten cents per month until fully paid, wi"h non-forfeiture clause. This price is subject to twenty-five cents advance without notice as soon astransporlation is assured. The present price is $1.10 per share. Do not wait until it is too late, but get in on the ground floor, and make a handsome profit. A purchaser of one hundred shares now, may gain a profit of S8 990. Crow's nest shares as an example. This would be a fair profit on an investment of len dollars per month for eleven menths. We invite the fullest inspection of the company's affairs by intending purchasers.

Richard Plewman, managing director of the Winnipeg mine, reports that since April 19th, when shipments were resumed, 250 tons of ore have been Bent to the smelter. This ore was taken from the concentrating ledge at the 200-foot level. Besides what has been shipped there are reserves of ore which have been broken ^down, but which cannot be marketed owing to the limited hoisting and shipping facilities.—Nelson News. The following is from the report to the directors submitted at a meeting held on the 4th of April: St. Eugene Consolidated Mining company, limited: Our holdings in this company still stand at 640,000 shares of the par value of $1 each. Owing to the low price of lead, and the fact that none of the Canadian smelters could handle the output, the St. Eugene concentrator was only operated for about five months in 1901. During that time about 11,000 tons of silver lead concentrates were shipped, mostly to Antwerp The St. Eugene Consolidated has paid two dividends amounting to $210,000 and at the end of its financial year had a cash balance on hand of $125,359.07. The Canadian Gold Fields syndicate, limited, received $38,400 in dividends from the St. Eugene Consolidated; while our | holdings in that company only cost us $145,448.23. It will be thus seen that the investment was a highly profitable one, as it yielded us a return on our investment of over 25 per cent for 1901. Development work haa been steadily on all through the year, and there are now over 200,000 tons of ore blocked out in sight in the mine. A shaft has been sunk for a distance of 140 feet (or 60 feet below the level of Moyie lake), and there is no water to bother or interfere wilh the work. A level is being driven 125 feet below the collar of the shaft and in a short time the big ore chutes already opened up in the tunnels above, will be developed on this new level. This will practically double the amount of ore in sight. These ore chutes have already been proved to a depth of 300 feet by diamond drills, so it is merely a question of doing the work to block out the ore.—Canadian Mining Review. depth of 35 feet below the surface, is 4^ feet thick; the second seam, six feet 7^ inches wide, was cut at a depth of 40 feet, and the third, which has the phenomenal width of 18 feet 5| inches, was pierced by the drill at a depth a 47^ feet.

A GREAT LOW GRADE PROPERTY Wonderful Showing by the Treadwell Company. The 11th annual report of the Alaska Treadwell Gold Mining company once more emphasizes the great value of a low grade free milling gold property, when the plant upon it is sufficiently large to hand e the ore in large quantities. The property of this company iB on Douglas island, Alaska, and its report of operations for the year ending May 15th, 1901, has just been made public. During the year there were 457,- 802 tons of ore crushed, an average of 1266 tons every 24 hours. The A shoot of high-grade galena ore has come into the face of the lower workings of the Hewett. Heretofore all ore shipped from this property has been dry, and running with the galena recently encountered is about three feet of this character of ore, all of which iB shipping.
