Further Evidence oi the Riches of This District. Cranbrook Herald— The whole district of South East Kootenay is greatly interested in tbe development of the iron mines at Kitchener, which has been carried on under the supervision of W. Blakemo.e, tbe well known mining engineer. He has spent the winter in Montreal, and last week came west, going to Nelson. On Monday he passed through' Cranbrook enroute to Fernie, and The Herald man waa fortunate enough to meet him at the station. 'Is it true that tbere will be no further development work on the Kitchener iron properties," waa asked of the gentleman, "Absolutely so," Mr. Blakemore re* plied, "simply because it is not necessary to expend any more money in that direction. I have been satisfied from the start that we bad a big thing, and our iMveatigatioo8 and assays the past winter have demonstrated that we have one of the beat iron properties known. We have it on the best of authority that our ore runs higher in metallic-iron and' lower in sulphur than the famous Lake Superior iron. Tbere ia nothing more to be done now, until the time is ripe for the establishment of steel works and the development of the minea. Tbe atate of the market and tbe general condition of affairs in the province would not justify the large expenditure which this would involve at tbe moment, but the company is prepared to go ahead on the lines outlined as soon as such a course is justifiable. Meanwhile plans are being prepared and tbe necessary preparations being made for tbe erection of a steel plant and the actual work will be inaugurated at no distant date. Tbis season no work will be dose on tbe properly except the necessary assessment work on properties bonded. The company haa crown granted all the claims which it haa purchased." Tbis meana thut Soutb East Kootenay has proven beyond all question that it is tbe richest district in all of Canada, having within its boundaries all of the ele nients of grest wealth, and that tbe development means sucb changes in tbia district that the mind of tbe average man today cannot comprehend what the future will bring forth. Mr. Blakemore goes west in a few daya to examine coal property tor the Similkameen- Valley Coal company antl other property tbat promises great re- urns to the investors. Port Steele Items. From the Prospector. H Haines and VV. C. Johnson, Cranbrook, attended tbe ping pong festivities at Steele Thursdatl evening. Ben Huckle, who served wltb the Strathcona horse, has again enlisted for service in Soutb Africa. Kev. Mr. Dancan and family bave gone to Inutsfail Alta. where they will reside ln the future. Dad Spragne, Tracy creek, was ln town on Thursday. He reports that work on the Iowa mine will commence next week. The ping pong tournament Cranbrook vs. Fort Steele which was to take place on Thursday, was declared off on account of the non arrival of the Cranbrook team. Mr. Gny Pawnall has purchased the Yelloly Ranch near Fish Lake, W. A. Chlsholm returned on Saturday laat from Luke creek. He haa been doing work on the Carbonate group, one of the big galena propertlea ln that section, The present work however has notdevoloped anything new. Mr, Chlsholm went back to the mine on Monday. J. J. Laldlaw and Robert Little were Inspecting a number of properties on Luke creek laat week and report that several propertlea In that neighborhood will be operated during the coming aea aon. The aawmtll at Walk will commence aawlng on Monday next. About a million feet of logs are In the yard ready for aawlng. The atock of dreaaed and rough lumber on hand amounta to 850, 000 feet. Arrangementa have been completed for the traoaportlon of lumber bv a.earner to Warduer. Tbe stealer North Star Is expected at Waaa dutlng the coming week. Tbla camp is situated on the east side of the Kootenay river twelve miles nortb of Fort Steele. Copper and lead with gold and sliver are at present tbe sole metals represented in the camp. The Estella mine haa been worked continuously during tbe winter months. Development work on the Wasa. Viking and Crescent,and a property owned by Mr Shira Is now going on. It Is expected that work on tbe Iowa will commence ln a few days. This hotel is now open and ready for guests. H. D. McMillen, formerly with the Cranbrook. Hotel, is the proprietor; and he proposes to have A FIRST CLASS HOUSE A Big Striks Reported on the North Star. NEW FIND IN TH". AURORA MINE Increased Activity is Noticable all Over tbe Whole District. From Cran* ">k Herald. Mining news vhla *Ak is further evidence of the fact that South East Kootenay is a vast treasure house of precious metals. The latest and one of the most satisfactory plecea of r;ws received for a lung time, is that of a, big strike of galena on the North Star property. It is reported that laat wet •: while operating the diamond drill a vein of galena ore waa atruck that shot d between seven snd nine feet.. This is exceedingly gratifying, since it demonstrates that this celebrated property will continue to pay dividends for a long time to come. Arrangements have been completed for tbe Nortb Star to commence shipping, and this also means a large addition to tbe force. This incressed work on that property is a good thing for the district, and simply emphasizes the fact tbat South East Kootenay ia bound to be a marvelottsly rich section. The Aurora. Tom Rader of Moyie, was in town last reek. He ia one of the owners of tbe Aurora property, which is located just across the lake from the St. Eugene, and was feeling very good over a strike of three feet of galena, in a new portion of tbe claim. Work bas been inaugurated on this part of the claim owing to water in the shaft, and tbe change proved to be a lucky one. The Sullivan- In all probability work will be resumed on the Sullivan in a very short time. Just as soon as the smelter at Marysville is near completion active operations will commence at tbe mine. Mr. Hull, general manager of the properly, is in tbe east now, and while there will arrange with the railroad company for tbe con* struction of a tramway to bring the ore down from Ibe mine. The St. Eugene. The new boilers that hnve been installed at tbe St. Eugene are of far greater power than Ihe old ones, which would indicate that the company is preparing for an immense amount of heavy work. Everything is getting in shape about the property for work, aud it is generally conceded that operations will be resumed within a short time. Perry Creek. Messrs. Thompson and Banks are busy pumping the water out of their mine three fourths of a mile up tbe creek from Old Towu. When the water is all out they will put in a large new pump. The mine has been closed for two or three months, consequently it was full of water and a big job to get it all out. It will take tbem two or three weeka yet to clear it. This is the famous placer mine that yielded so well last summer. Mrs J. O. Trow of Wisconsin, arrived at Perry creek on tbe first of May, and will spend the summer at the Perry Creek Mining company's camp. Gus Tbies has leased an interest in the Thompson and Banks property and work is being pushed as fast as possible. Oliver Burge bas been clearing and beautifying the park around Old Town making It an ideal place for picnics. Old Town, Perry creek, isjustanice distance from Cranbrook for a drive as there Is a fine wagon road all the way, and good accommodations at tbe end, Tbe recent rains are clearing the snow from tbe mountains, giving the prospectors a chance of which -they are taking advantage every fine day. Jimmie Larson bas left his interests at Petty creek in care of Uua Thies, and will start on Monday for Thunder Mountain, Idaho. Jimmie will be back to good old Perry creek. REPORT ON C. P. R. COAL A WONDERFUL DISTRICT Col. Taylor's Report Submitted Minister of Interior. by Ottawa, April 20.—The minister of the interior bas submitted to Parliament the report of Colonel Taylor, of Pittsburg, who, at Mr. Slfton's request, examined last summer the Crow's Nest I'ass Coal company's field ln order to determine the best place to select tbe 50,000 acres of coal lands to which tbe government la entitled, such lands to be of an average value of the entire coalfield. The expert made a careful examination of tbe cdal developed at tbe mines of the Crow's Nest Pass Coal company at Michel Creek, Coal Creek, and Morrissey Creek, and also examined it where developed by the C P. R. company on Michel Creek, near Marten Creek. From the development now made he judges the best part of this coalfield(both ln regard to thickness of seams and ease wltb which they may be worked), lies between Michel Creek, where Marten Creek enters It, and Morrlssey Creek, where Crow's Nest Pass Coal company are now operating their mines. He recommends i "That all the coal lying between Morrissey Creek and the outcropping of the seams on Lodge- pole Creek, be selected, and that a dividing line be drawn from a point at the junction of tbe north aod south branch of Morriaaey Creek near where preaent openings are being made by the Orowa Neat Paaa Coal company; from this point due nortb until It In* teraecta with a line running east and west through the most southern side of the property, now owned by tbe Crow's Nest Paaa Coal company on Marten Creek, and tbat the greater part of the 50,000 acres be selected to the east and south of these two lines, Witb a proper division made of the coal selected as above described at Morrlssey Creek there might be two separate operations made ln this creek, one of which could operate In the territory directly south of the creek, and the other could work In tbe territory east and north. The next available place would be on Michel Creek and Marten Creek. This ten! tory could be*,so divided as to accommodate two operations. These are the only two available places for operations, tkat I saw, and I would classify ln relative merits the operation on Morrlssey Creek as No. 1, and that on Marten Creek and Mlcnel Creek as No. 2. In recommending the selection of a continuous territory from Morrlssey Creek to Michel Creek I had ln my mind the fact tbat if a smaller field were selected at Morrlssey Creek and another similar held at Michel Creek and Marten Creek, that the intervening territory between these two fields wonld be worthless, as it would be ln- acccessible from any otber points. And I am of the opinion tbat the centre of the field lying between tbe two points above mentioned will be found to contain the best coal. The distance across the field measured between tbese two points is but nine or ten miles, and lt is peifecily practicable to mine half way from each side. Tbat would give a maximum undergrouud haulage of tbe coal of four or five miles, which Is not an Impracticable distance. I wish to especially recommend to you tbe selection of tne field at Morrlssey Creek as the present developments indicate that tbe coal Is here at its maximum thickness, and Ilea ln the mountain in such a way that it can be economically moved and operated, and there will be two main lines of railway easily accessible from tbis point." Work on the Marysville smelter is progressing favorably, and lt Is announced ^y the management that the smelter wlil be blown In not later Chan July first. This smelter Is being built by tbe owners of the Sullivan mine, ln which it is claimed, there are 200,000 tons of ore blocked out.—Western Mining World. ■*'**-*■*■*?*■*-*****■*********** I Send The Tribune to your Friends t****-*-*****?*********-****'* A Secret.

A special British army order Issued contains a Royal warrant embodying tbe Increase ln soldlers'pay and charges tbe terms of service, as stated by Mr. Brodrick in tbe house of Commons, The chief provisions are : From April 1,1902, soldiers with the necessary qualifications will receive an -additional sum of 3d. a day. The sum will not be granted to Maltese or to non-European soldiers or to soldiers of the Royal Garrison regiment, wbo already receive additional pay. On and after April 1, 1901, a further daily Increase of fid. will be granted to all warrant and non.commissioned officers and to cSclent soldiers wbo have completed two years'color service, an addition of a penny a day being made after five years' total service. An Increase of 41, a day will be granted after tbe same date to other soldiers wbo are allowed.to extend their service or wbo having been enlisted for more than three years, are not placed ln tbe former class, In either case they mint have completed two years' color service. An additional penny a day for good conduct wlil also be granted to the men In tbia class after five years' total service. With regard to tbe terms of army service, after April 1, 1902, enlistment will be for a period of three years with colors and nine years In the reserve for the following corps: Cavalry of the line, Royal Artillery, Uoyal Engineers (-xcept military mechanists and railway, telegraph, and submarine mining reserve), Foot Ouards (except bandsmen), Infantry of the Ioe, Itoyal Army Service Corps, and Army Ordnance Corps (except armourer and machinery artificer scctlona.)

A district which has, not only coal, iron and mineral, to back it up, but also timber and agricultural Industries, a magnificent climate and good people In It Is needed Id a lucky district. Such a district Is South East Kootenay. Within the limits of this section we have coal, yes coal -'to burn", thousands and thousands of acres of coal. We have timber, many thousands of acres of timber. We have mines, among others the St. Eugene which bas perhaps the largest deposit of sliver lead ore on tbe North American continent. The North Star another silver lead properly ofgreat mint and a steady dividend payer. The Sullivan another sliver lead property with 260,000 tons of ore blocked out and which la now preparing to treat ita own ore and la building a amelter for that purpose at our own town of Maryaville, We have agricultural and ranching landa ln varloua parts of the dlatrict. The Valley of the Kootenay river la dotted from lu aource to tbe boundry line with faros which would be a credit to any country, Tne St, Marya prairie and the upper St, Marya country are alao good farming aectloua and ao is the county around tbe towna of Cranbrook and Maryaville. A coaotry with all theae natural advantages cannot stay ln tbe background long. Capital la looking for countries that bave a prosperous future before them and South East Kootenay Is without a shadow of a doubt one of these. Unlike many other mining countries, South East Kootenay Is not a country with only one resource as has been shown above. Another point in which our district is superior to many others la in the matter of Its natural advantages for manufacturing. At many points ln the district the cheapest kind of power, water, can be used and where tula aa vantage docs not exist coal and coke can be o.talned more cheaply than In other sections owing to our huge coal fields. Hance, as we have said before and shall say again, South Eist Koolenay Is a good coutiuy io lie up to. We have lied up lo lc and we have never regret ted it. ' The Lumber Combine. The Rossland Miner says: Recent arrivals in Rossland from East Kootenay are responsible for the statement that tbe big lumber combination wbicb has been projected for some months Is now completed. Archie Leitcb, the Cranbrook lumber magnate, having reached home alter a lengthy visit In the east, during which the final steps in tbe amalgamation were taken. Tbe combination Includes five of tbe largest mills in East Kootenay, and report bas lt that the combination has secured almost Invaluable privileges ln form of a five-year contract to supply the Canadian Pacific witb material aad cutting concession on railroad reserve for an equal period. Ths latter feature will permit of lumbering operations on ground that is covered wltb the most magnificent timber ln the country, bnt which has as yet been untouched by tbe logging camps. Negotiations looking to tbe formation of such a combination have beeu under way for some time, iu fact, It la well known that tbe principal promoters hare had the scheme ln mind for a year or more. The lumber Industry In East Kootenay has assumed auch proportions as to necessitate the employment of large capital, and the competition engendered among the big pants begao to be felt, althongh the preset year Is exceptional, inasmuch as lt Is stated on excellent authority, that every mill in the country has orders for Its entire winter cut of logs. The theory of combining the mills, wiping out much of the competition that was beginning to crop np, and substantially lowering the costs of office management and selling finished material In the Territories, which Is the natural market for the product, appeared to be attractive, and it Is now stated that the proposition baa been closed up. The effect of such commercial combinations Is usually to close down some of tbe plants Interested, but tbla will certainly not be the case In Mast Kootenay this year for obvious reasons. The mills are scattered somerrhrt, and the ordinary complement of superln* tet.dents and foreman will have to be retained while the crews of sawyers and loggers will not oi course, be reduced. *******-*'**■************■*** ^yi-^^i-^iXi-e^y't- i ■ i/ v #W The Tribune $2.00 a Year 4*Q*4MQto4#t4*i*4M* «■*<•*»-:• - a****?** Subsoriba For THE TRIBUNE «£i "-J.

She stood by my side and watched tne open lhe box, giving ndvice nnd directions nbout the locution of the tools, which 1 appreciated. "The electricity has not given out." I announced inter, "but there is something wrong with tbe battery. There's power enough In it to carry you fifty miles or kill a dozen men." "Mercy, Stella, is there nny danger?" queried the woman in the nulomoblle. "Nu, mnmmn." "Nut any. madam," I added reassuringly. "However, 1 must get at the board under your feet.

"Yes, it is very fortunate for me," 1 replied, without looking up, but through tlie machinery I could see looks of disapproval on the mother's face. Thnt provoked me to work in silence for some minutes. Then, jumping into the nulo- ■n.ihile. I said: "Now I think tho thing will go. Which .ever do you use?" "Tins one." She sprang lightly into tbe vehicle nnd touched the handle, giving it a sudden twist. Then the machinery did go. There were a whirring and buzzing thut made ns turn in alarm.

Stella looked at me with u peculiar smile and snid: "I can't." "Why not? Let me try!"

We were running too fast to jump. It was sure death to attempt it. So I tried to collect myself and said: "This is serious. Wo must keep our beads." "Yes, very serious. But I'm not afraid —not yet." "Nor am I, out here in the country* It's like n cross country ride." "Yes; but we can't tell where it will end." We were making twenty miles nn hour then, unless my calculations were wrong, and I had dlllieulty in holding the machine straight io its course. "I've been in runaways before," I gripped as the wind nearly blew my breutll away, "hut never in an automobile." "Nor have I." she answered, grasping her loosened hair, which streamed behind her. "But I've nlways wanted to be in oue." "Tben you'll have all you want before we get through witli this. 1 think we are increasing our speed." We piis-ed a team, which shied at our vehicle and nearly upset the carriage in tlie gutter. "We must be creating a sensation."

"Bo long as we keep thu thing U'.ing we are nil right." "We bumped over a cat that tried to run serosa our pfirli and scattered hairs and screeches around that vanished almost us soon ns we noticed them.

But there are no forks in tlie road and at this speed I'm nfraid I could not turn around gracefully un this narrow road." She laughed—softly and musically. "I should think not.

"This is too much fun—with you —to wish anybody to slop us." "There he goes now, shaking his stick lit us! I'll toot the horn in bis face. Isn't he mail now?" "J suppose so," I replied, "hut I can't rook behind. This thing requires all of my attention." "You look tired. Why, you're perspiring! Are you getting a little afraid now? Just a little hit?" "Well, now, I may. No, no; of course uot—not a single bit. It's jolly. It's a regular lark. And there's tho country ahead!" "Another cross country ride! How many miles did you say the electricity would carry usV" "Fifty!" 1 groaned. "How lovely!" "Yes. Lovely!" Outside of the village the rond forked. One went down into the lowlands where tbe roads were good; the other climbed n steep hill. I saw my hope, and toward the hill 1 steered. "Why, the roads are belter the other way," sho said. "I thought they were smoother up hero," I lied. "No; this road lends up the side of the mountain, and we can never get to the top without stopping. I'm sure of it." "I thought the ether one led up the mountain. How provoking!" "Yes; very provoking! It will spoil our ride!" There was disappointment on the pretty faee, but when we climbed the bill and our vehicle panted and snorted under the exertion my courage and spirits returned. ''Weil, it can't be helped now. We've hnd a splendid ride together. I shall always remember it." "Yes; splendid! I hope mamma won't worry." "She won't, I'm sure. But I think I'll leave you in tbe village uud nut seo her today." Worn out with its exertions, the vehicle came to a sudden standstill near the summit. Stella dismounted, and I quietly disconnected the machinery. "It's broken for good now," I snid, examining it. "We will have to get a team to drag it back to the village." "How menu I I thought we should havo n good run down the hill. You wouldn't be afraid, wonld you?" "Certainly not," I faltered, looking down the steep road. "But it's out of the question now." "Then we'll have to walk It." "Yes, but together, und that will be fun." "Not half as much as if we wore riding. That was such a lark! It was the best cross country ride I ever had." "Yes; the best I ever bad."

People say "extra good" or "extra cheap" In order to Intensify "good" and "cheap." But "extra" has no such force. So far from intensifying a given condition, lt denies it by indicntlng that the thing so described lies outsldo the sphere or quality named. Thus, "extra judicial" does hot menu more than ordinarily judicial, as though a Judge had dredged bis conscience in giving an opinion, but outside of judicial and therefore Incapable of being judged at all tu the prescribed way. A grievous fault Is the use of "Identify" in a phrase like this, "He Is Identified with the nntlvacclnatlon movement." A man can only Identify himself with another man or set of men. He can Identify himself with the opponents of vaccination—and even here the word carries a shade of meaning of Its own, distinguishing the phrase from such a one as "be joined the opponents of vaccination."

The only thing that will really cure rheumatism is an internal medicine that will enrich the blood and free it from rheumatic taint, The surest, quickest and most effective way to do this is to take Dr. Williams' Pink Piils, which lire proved to havo cured thousand*--- of cases of rheumutism many j of them after all other medicines had .failed, 'lhe case of Mr. Philip Ferris, one of the pioneers of South Ks- sex, Ont., is proof of this. Although Mt*. Ferris is 70 years of age he is as simirt as many men of 50. But he has not always enjoyed such good health Mr. Ferris lias the following to say about his illness and cure: "For fifteen years 1 suffered greatly from rheumatism. At times I would have severe pains in the knees, while at others the pain would spread to my hips and shoulders. 1 tried several remedies which were of no avail until T begun using Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I took eight or ten boxes and they completely cured the trouble and I am now as smart ns many men much younger. 1 have a great deal of faith In tlio pills for 1 know of other cases where they have been equally as successful i;s in mine." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills make new. rich, red blood and strengthen the nerves with every dose. It is in this way that they cure such troubles as rnuumatism, sciatica, neuralgia, kidney and liver troubles, partial paralysis, St Vitus' dance and erysipelas. Through their action on the blood they restore the color to pale und sallow cheeks and cure the ailments that make the lives of so many women miserable.

Peevishness aud Sleeplessness :i Sure Sign That Baby is Unwell. When babies ure restless, cross, or peevish it is the surest possible sign of illness. Well babies sleep soundly cufcj ure cheerful and playful when awake. When baby is cross too many mothers give so-called "soothing"*' medicines, which contain opiates that deaden but do not remove the trouble. Whnt is wttnted is a medicine that will go right to the root of the trouble and make baby sleep well, eat well und be cheerful in a natural way. Such a medicine is Baby's Own Tablets, which are sold under an absolute guarantee that they contain neither opiates nor other harmful drugs. All mothers who have used them for their little ones speak of them in terms of warmest praise. Mrs. Albert Young, Stratford, says : "My baby, who is now five months old, has always been very cross and peevish. She was very constipated and sleepless. She was a thin, delicate looking child, and cried nearly all the time. I did not know what to do with her. 1 tried several medicines, but they did her no good. A friend who had used Baby's Own Tablets advised me to try thorn. I hid so, and since using them baby hus been quite well, her bowels are regular, und .she has grown plump and good natured. 1 am delighted with the Tablets and keep them on hnnd all the time, and whenever baby gets cross and feverish I give her a tablet und she is nil right." These Tablets nre the best medicine in the world for simple fevers, olic,diarrhoea, ull stomach troubles, constipation and other minor ailments of little ones. They nro for children.of all ages, and dissolved in water, or crushed to a powder may bo given with absolute safety to the youngest infunt. Mothers who once try them will nover afterwards use nny other medicine for their little ones. Sold by ull dealers in medicine or sent post paid at 25 cents a box by addressing the Ur.

It Is a wonderful tonic for the liver, stomach and kidneys. In many cases It will cure biliousness when all drug preparations have fulled. It Is peculiarly effective In ordinary cases of Indigestion, disordered stomach nnd Insomnia and has been known to produce excellent results ln many cases of dyspepsia. Clean sea water Is full of tonic and sedative properties. It won't hurt anybody. Indeed two or threo big swallows of It would be of positive benefit to nine bathers out of ten. It is not, of course, a palatable or tempting dose to take, but neither is quinine or calomel. You seldom if ever see an old Bailor who Is bilious or dyspeptic or a victim to Insomnia, and why? For tho •reason that nn ocean of good medicine spreads all about his sky, and be doses himself copiously with It whenever his physical mechanism becomes tho least bit deranged.

Hyde Baker of Cranbrook, and T, G. Proctor and R. E. I'ishbuin ot Nelson, are interested, has been secured by eastern parties and active development work will be inaugurated at once. The deal, it is understood, is a large one and will give to these gentlemen ample returns for their investment; in fact, such a sum that will make them feel good that they got into tbe coal land business. Mr. Well's Work. From the Herald— Smith Curtis haa been asking aome pointed questions of the finance minister as to tbe revenues and appropriations for different parts of the province. Aa a result, the following showing was made for East Kootenay: The district as a whole contributed in revenues during the year ending June 30, 1901, $98,876.14, tbe north riding giving $14,714.37, and the south riding $77 941,- 27. There is a discrepency of $6220.60, as this amount cannot with accuracy be apportioned to either of the d'istricts. But bere is 1 where the milk in the cocoanut is shown. The north riding, •■•presented by Hon. W. C. Wells, cabinet minister, man with a pull, etc., witb revenues amounting to $14,714.27, receives for roads, trails and bridges, $28,- 646.65, while South East Kootenay, witb revenues aggregating $77,941 27, gets in return for such improvements, the paltry sum of 815,703.90.-. And yet tbe papera of that little bailiwick grew very indignant a few months ago when The Herald stated in plaiu language, that tbis riding, with, its vast interests, its greater population and its greater need, bad been discriminated against by the Honorable Mr. Wells, iu favor of his home riding. Tbis year the same discrimination is shown, siuce tbe two ridings, with re' venues far from even, are given the same amount in the appropriations, $14,- 500. It is such rauk work as this that is disgusting the province with the Dunsmuir outfit. Marysville Hotel..
