Muny <»f them are having their outfits prepared now and when they get their "stuff" to- gether it is quite a different equipment to that of the average tenderfoot. The old- timer will take along n good pair of rubber boots and a pair of leather shoes adapted to thut. elimute. Hut his main footwear is heavy moose hide moccasins with heavy felt insoles aud medium weight woolen socks. His underwear will consist of a close woven suit of silk or mixed cotton and silk, to ho worn next to the skin. Next to that ho will huve lhe besl quality of medium weight wo.den underwear ami over that he will put a heavy suit of woolen or mackinaw; over all he will put a well made suit of asbestos tanned sheep hide trousers impervious lo water und wind. This is his cold weather rigging. As spiring approaches liis apparel will he removed, suit at a lime, until he only wears his summer garb. Two outlits of this kind i-s alt he will take. In the place of blankets for winter use and for use on the trail, they will take fur rubes made from the skins of the Arctic fox or wolf. These robes can he purchased at from $50 to $100, and weigh froni IM to 20 pounds und contain more warmth than a dozen heavy blankets. In extremely cold weut lier, while nn the • march, it is impossible to keep warm with only blankets. The perspiration pusses into tlie folds und thoy freeze still" and no amount of them will keep one warm. In the summer, or when iu permanent eiimp or eithin, they are useful and almost indispensable.

Tlie Alloc Mine. Notwithstanding the low price of silver Manager T. \V. JJu/./.o has been able to make the Alice mine iu Butte, Mont., pay dividends. The president of the company, Mr. .1. V. Walker, in tlie annua] report issued a few days sinec, says: The year. considering everything, wus a fairly prosperous one for the company. We had to deal wilh a very low price on silver bullion; the average price at whicli silver bars sold on the market was .50-104 per line ounce, being ,0(11437 per line ounce lower thnn the average price in IStiti. The receipts for the sale of bullion and ore amounted to ,$">f>0,-l74.47. 1 am pleased (o state that the company's mines and mills are in yood condition. A great deal of work was dine in the mines to keep the same in good condition, und the Cornish pump was kept running continuously in order to keep the water down lo tlie 1000- foot level The 00-stainp mill was run throuyhmit the year, except for stoppage for necessary repairs, etc. The hoisting works of the Alice mine, also the Magna Cliarta ami Blue Winy, were kept in operation nearly the entire year. Tlie Magna Charta, Magnolia uud Paymaster mines were run only a purl of the time. For the information of stock holders I have attached to this report a statement of dividends paid from the commencement, amounting to $1,0^5,000; also statement showing the discount on silver, -amounting iu $.1.7.'10,7H7.4H, eoveriny (he same period, fn this connection I would stale thnt the. discount on silver lor the year 1S!)7 is the largest for uny one year in (he history of the company. The eom- pany has a balance of cash on hand January 1,1808, of $25,110.17. A ->ln in modi ( ii tl *t-rt,i kin k. The latest news from lhe great horseshoe on Salmon river, Idaho, where the Horseshoe Placer Mining company is working, is that they are in 100. feet with their ditch to turn the channel of llie river, and (he work is progressing lo theft1 entire satisfaction, This is a mammoth undertaking, being no less than a proposition lo cut 1820 feet- through the neck of the horse shoe, turn the river through the cut und mine nof only the gravel taken from and along side of lhe cut, bul also the Iwo miles of river bed that the changing of lhe channel will Iny bare. Thc lime was wheu the river took' the direct route, afterward changing (o go around the horse shoe, and tilling the neck with gold- liearing gravel. So rapid is the stream that the cut will sirike the stream 10 feet below its present level, 1 litis furnishing au abundance of full for miniug. The hill across lhe neck U high, being so s(eep thut only 80 feet was run hefore the cut became a tunnel, and it will continue to be tunneling until (lie work is almost . completed. The walcr will he introduced gradually, a flume being put in, and all the available gravel of the neek washed through it. When Unit is no longer practicable the whole river will bc turned through the tunnel—or cut it. will then be —and the present bed of the river will he mined. The gravel so far laken from llTe ent and tunnel bas run from 00 to 70 cents per cubic yard, uu iininiint that has gone far towards paying llur expenses of the undertaking. Tlie KellofHK Tunnel. 'l'he Kellogg tunnel being ruu by the Bunker Hill and Sullivan Mining and Concent rating company from near their mill to the mine, is in over 1000 feet. When completed it will bo nbout two miles long. It was thought probable that new ore bodies would he found while the tunnel was being bored, but thus fur there has been no sign of ore, although it is getting well under the hill lying between Ward- tier and lhe south fork. l'ureliiiNe Price of Ihe JONle. The dividend which holders of Josie stock have been anticipating from the money paid over on account of the purchase of the property hy 'he British America Corporation will not be paid this mouth, Possibly there may he a division of Hie fund next July, but as there was a general understanding thut a payment lo the stockholders was to be mude iu March, thc people who hold Josie shares may deem it wise not to build up hope again until they have the cash in hand. It was understood, though never definite* ly slated hy the directors, lhat. the purchase price of the Josie mine was $.300,000. Governor .Mackintosh has been quoted as saying tlmthls corporation had contracted to pay that price. There was a prevailing Impression, which was never contradicted until now, thut the price was "about 4-i cents per share.** As the company is sleeked for 700.000 shares, this figured up $308,000. A circular has been issued lo the stockholders this week ovor the signature of P, 13, Snodgrass, seerelny, conveying the information that the mine sold for $201,000, This is tho. first information of an official nnture that has been given to tho stockholders since the deal was consummated. Ore Shipments. The ore shipments from Nelson, B. C, for the week ending .March 5 show a marked increase ovcr the previous week, both in amount and number of shippers. The figures are as follows: Hall mines, mat(e, (id (ons: Trail smelter, matte, 103 tons; I.e Roi mine, ore, 1000 tons; Payne mine, 100 tons; Queen Hess, lul tons; Kootenay Ore company.

ABOUT AN EVEN BREAK The Kettle River Valley Railway Charter Still Before the Railway Committee. Up to the time ot going to press no word ban been received from the sent of war at Ottawa regarding tbe fate of tbe Kettle River Valley railway charter and as far as it is known in this city the condition of affairs are practically the same as last week A letter received by Mr. Cbas. Cumings, dated the l8tb inst., from Mr. Armstrong, states that while tbe light is a very bitter one, the chances are in favor ot Mr. Corbin being sue- cessful. He also stated that if it could have been brought to a vote at the meeting of tbe railway committee on tbe 17th inst. that he would bave been successful by a good-sized majority. But as the C. P. R. was sparring for time it was a hard matter to predict what influence would be brought to bear on the m:*nbers between that time and the next meeting of the committee. He was of the opinion that it would be ten or twelve days before the measure would be brought up in the committee again. Mr. Charles Hay also received a private letter from Editor Ross, which substantiate". Mr. Armstrong's statements regarding the success of tbe charter and expresses the belief that Mr. Corbin will be successful. Tbe Spokane Chronicle of tbe 21st inst. containing tbe following graphic account of the fight Mr. Corbin is making at Ottawa, for a charter; which fully demonstrates the bitter opposition he has to overcome in the event of bis being successful: "D.. 0. Corbin is a fighter. This month he is making the tight of bis life. Single banded he is battling with the gigantic monopoly that rules tbe norib half of this continent with as despotic sway as the white czar rules the north ball of old Asia. If the comfortable millionaires wbo draw the dividends and rake-offs from the Canadian Pacilic could choose one man In all the world to be annihilated by some painless process there would be a unanimous vote in favor ot the quiet railroad president from Spokane. No trouble is feared as to securing all the concessions needed from the United States congress for tbe proposed railway to tap tbe Boundary Creek country and connect with the Spokane & Northern road. President Corbin indeed, need not have visited Washington al all to secure these privileges. But over the British border tbe fight is growing hotter ever day. Every Canadian Pacific official, every dependent, every editor owned by the great railway, is clamoring for the suppression of the American line. That tbe people of the Boundary country want tbe railway, tbat it is needed by them as badly as the people of any mining district can nee.1 a road, is a matter of absoluiely no interest to the great monopoly. MET THEU FACE TO FAtE. At Ottawa lasl week President Corbin met bis enemies face to face. The Kettle River Valley railroad bill biougbt a notable gathering to the railway committee room. Messrs. Blair, Sifton and Tupper were present among the members. President Van Home and other C. P. R. men were present to oppose it. Messrs. Bodwell, Corbin and Ross were there for the bill, as well as well-known G. T. R. officials, which de-dre to tap the district. E. V. Bodwell explained the bill. He said tbe Corbin system bad expended already $1,200,000 in southern British Columbia. He denied that the road would take trade from Canada to the States. He Said Mr. Co rbin bad no interest in any smelter in tbe United States. Sir William Van Home spoke in opposition to tbe bill. He asserted that this road would take a hundred million dollars out of Canada in ten years. What Mr. Bodwell had said about tbe trade was humbug. Mr. Bodwell jumped to his leet: "No, 'tis the truth." Sir William continuing, said the Canadian Pacific was not a rapacious corporation, as it was granted the Canadian Pacilic this year would build under thc Columbia & Western charter from Robson to Midway, a distance of 100 miles, Mr. Lister asked: "Have you a subsidy?" "No," replied President Van Home, ''nor have we asked for one." Referring to a complaint from Kootenay against tbe Canadian Pacific, Sir Wm. said: "I do not say tbat tbe C. P. R. was never guilt of overcharging or unjustice sometimes, but I defy any man to point out any case brought before the company which was not promptly corrected." CORBIN DEFENDS HIS FLAK. Mr. Corbin then explained the local situation, asserting that tbe road was a benefit to the district. Only high grade ores could be carried over lo the states as smelting could be done cheaper in Canada. Chairman Sutherland asked why then the Le Roi people built tbeir smelter at Northport. Mr. Corbin replied: "Because theie is no water or land at Rossland available," Chairman Sutherland read a telegram from tbe town of Nelson, warmly supporting the bill, One o'clock having arrived further consideration of the bill was postponed until this week when President Corbin will again meet bis enemies. Victoria's cold sholder. On the same day, away over on the west coast of tbe continent, another battle for the new road was taking place at a meeting of the council of the Victoria board of trade. Mr. Wollaston, a real estate broker of Grand Fork;, was given the privilege of addressing the council. He complained of the action of the board of trade in opposing the charter for Mr. Corbin's railway, pointing out tbat this road would be of great advantage to his town and surrounding interests. Tbe members o| the council ejpiesied ieg-et that Mr. Wollaston hsd not pre senled his case earlier as the bonrd bad already renched a decis on on lhe m-it ter, and ibe question could not now very well bo reopened. It was also considered doubtful if the arguments wbi. h tbe Grand Forks delegate bid to offer would in any way change the opinion of the board. THE GOSI'F.L OF ISOLATION. Here is a sample of the arguments used by thc Canadian Pacific to defeat the charter. It is an editorial from the Vancouver World: "In the in'erest of the <*on-t cities and tbe trade of Canada generally, i: is 10 be hoped the federal government and the house of commons will s'enuously refuse to grant any railway concessions to aliens whose avowed object ii to divert a trade which legitimately belong; to the people of Canada into foreign channels. This will be the case sho'ild ibe request ol the promoters of the Spo kane and Northern railway for a char- tor enabling them to consttuct a line from the boundary into the heart of the Kettle River distiict be granted. The government and the members of the house ol commons will not be true to themselves or the dominion if Canada if they yield an iota of the peoplts heritage to foreigners. There must be no surrendering of our national rights lo those whose aim is to despoil our fair province of natural resources placed ai our disposal by an A'l-WiFe Providence. Th.t the passing of this bill will result in the building up of Spokane Falls and tbe American smelting industry cannot be disputed. Will a liberal administration stultify itself by allowing this to be done? Let the government and the people's representatives id this as in previous similar cases stand by thier guns no matter what may happen to the foreigner!" Rossland Alright. At a meeting of the Rossland board of trade held last Saturday evening the following resolution was unanimously adopted: "In viow of the opposition of the boards of trade of Victoria and Vancouver and other parlies to the granting of a charter tothe Kettle River Valley railway, this board desires to reiterate its former position io the matter, and to urge upon the dominion parliament that none of the reasons that have been put forward against the granting of the charter should be allowed to stand in the way ot the opening up of the great Boundary district, which would be done by the construction of the railway in quesiion, and the secretary of this board forward by telegram a copy of this resolution to the minister of railways and to the member at Ottawa, Hon. Hewitt Bostock." This resolution was presented hy Mr. A. S. Goodeve and was passed without a dissenting vote, which shows that Rossland is all right and that her heart in in the right place. If Rosslaml should ever get in a position where her merchants should make an effort to control the trade of the Boundary country this action of the board of trade should be remembered and every dollar's worth of goods that can bc obtained in that city should begot there. The Miner believes in helping thosewho help you and has no hesitancy in saying tbat it is the duy of the merchants in this section to see that the merchants of Rossland are not overlooked in this respect. MARRIED. PraTTE—Dunbar—At the Alberta hotel, March 6th, 1S98, by the Rev. M. C. McLennan, Air. C. Pratte to Miss Mary Dunbar, all of Republic, Wash, Mr. Pratie is well-known lo many of our citizens, having been in the employ of Mr. Feeney, the black'.miih.last summer, and his many friends in tbis city extend congratulations.

Tbe wedding was a very quiet one, (barring the reception tendered them by the small boy tin can brigade), there being only a few intimate friends of tbe contracting parties present. After the ceremony was over the party partook of a wedding supper prepared by Mrs. F. H. McCarter, The groom is an old friend of F. H. McCarter they having worked together for nearly ten years in tlie composing room of the Spokane Daily Chronicle. The newly married couple expect to make tbeir future borne in the citv, having leased the Cosmos hotel. The Miner exiends it's best wishes to the happy couple and hopes that their voyage through life will be strewn with roses. A Special Rate of $1. It seems that the residents of Greenwood are as bad about starting railway reports as the people of this city. Everybody that comes over from there has a "cock and bull story" to tell about the progress that is being made there in railway building. The latest report is that the depot has been located and that the first train is scheduled to arrive in time to bring in a crowd for the celebration of tbe Queen's birthday, and a special rate of $t. for the round trip has been made from all parts of the district. Rossland Men to Operate at Republic. A syndicate of Rossland and Spokane men have organized a company to be known as the Eureka North Star Mining company. Hector McRae, of Rossi ind, is president; D.

A special meeting of the bonrd of had* was held Thursday afternoon to consider a communication from the lit undary Creek Mining and Commercial association, relative to the division of lhe Fust Killing ol Vale. In lire absence ol Ihe president and vice-presidents Mr. Chas. Cumings moved Mr. Jas Addisr.n to the chair. The following lette-and resolution from the Boundary Creek Mining and Commercial association was then read by the secretary, who slated that he had received the same the day before and had taken thc liberty to call a special meeting of thc board to consider the same. At a meet ng of the Boundary Creek Mining and Commercial association held in the City of Greenwood on the 161b day of March, 1898, the following resolution was passed: That Whereas, it is the intention of the Government of liritish Columbia to bring in an act for the re-dislribution of Britiih Columbia into electoral districts; and Whereas, the electors of the southeast portion of tho Ea t Riding ol Yale district consider that tlie large increase of electors arid the growing importance ol lioundary Creek district, warrants the dividing of the s.yid riding; and Woereas, through the press of the Province wc observe that the delegation Irom Rossland request a subdivision of the electoral district which would include Boundary Creek as part of the Trail Division, we emphatically protest against any such division. Therefore be it Resolved by this association, that in their opinion your honourable body should divide the E.ist Riding of Yale as follows: Commencing at the intersection of th.ii Simiik.imeen river wuh the 49th parallel; thence north so as to include Dog lake; thence cist to the western boundary of Kootenay district; and that copies of this resolution be forwarded to Hon. J. H. Turner and Donald Graham, Esq , M. P , lor this district. Thomas Hardy, President. J. P. Haiilan, Secretary. Mr. Addison srated thc he had heard something relative to the matter tbe evening before he left Victoria, that a deputation appointed by the city council of Rossland had been in Victoria in lhe interest ol a proposition to fc-rm a new electoral district to bc compose:! of Rossland and the basin of the Kettle river, as far west as Greenwood, thus including the gold copper belt of southern British Columbia in one- electoral district. This Mr. Acidisnn wis of the opinion would not be satisfactory 10 this so.:tion,as it would have a tendency lo keep the Kettle River valley from having a representation in the local house, and for that reason was heartily in accord wiih lhe resolution adoptod by the Greenwood a-sccialion, Mr. Chas. II iy spoke in f.ivoi* of action being taken in the matter, and expressed ibe opinion that we should stale in very plain language, to the government our disapproval of any such a division of our country. He then related the result of a conference that Mayor Wood of Greenwood, Mr. Addison and himself had had with Premier Turner, during a recent visit to Victoria relative to the redistribution of the district. Mr. Turner, ie stated had giv.-n them positive assurance that East Yale would have two rcpies-ntatives, according to the redistribution bill to be handed down by the government, ?.nd that tbc Ruling would be divided by a line running east and west, at or near Pentieton. Therefore, he thought that it was the duty of the board of trade to reiterate our desire in this respect to the govern ment and impress upon them foic- lbly a redistribution on these lines is what the people of this district want. Oa the motion of W. IJ. D.ivey, seconded by F. H, McCarter the action taken by the Boundary Creek Mining and Commercial association was endorsed, and a committee consisting of Mr. Chas. Hay, Mr. Chas. Cumings, E. Spraggett, Jas. Addisioii and F. H. McCarter were appointed to draft similar resolutions, a copy of which lo be forwarded to Premier Tumor, Donald Grabam, and the Boundary Creek Milling and Commercial association of Greeuwood. The injustice of the action of the Victoria and Vancouver boards of trade, relative to the granting of a charier to the Kettle River Valley railway was fully discussed. It was shown that al- vi-*t r\ with every prospect of the n'nn- P"""""""""" ■«—™~™» ber being largely increased in the near j HARDWARE. I furu-e; .md "Wbereas, It is reported that a delegate n from Rossland wjittd on the government and pic-f-.-md a request lhat all tbat part of Kettle Kiver and Boundary Creek, including Christina lake, Casc.de City, Grand Forks, Upper Grand Korks, Caison, Anaconda .-md Greenwood City should be included in the proposed eleeioral district of Trail; and "Wbereas, The interests of Kettle River and Boundary Creek are not ile-r:ical w th lhat of Ro.Bland and Trail Creek, owing to the want of any direct communication, w*e th-riefoie strongly protest against anv p-ir. of the present electoral district of East Yale being included in the proposed Tra;l division, and consider that to do so would be perpetrating an injustice. Be it therefore '•lii.solv.d, That, in the opinion of thin meeting, thc pres*.*nt electoral district of Eust Y.ile should be divided into two electoral divisions as follows: "The South Easterly, or K ttie River division to commence at tire interscc- rion of tlie"Jj.riniikaineeii river with thc internrr'ionai boundary lin-\ thence northerly so as to include D..g lake, thenco ea-terly to the western boundary of Kootenay district."
