OP BOARDS OF TRADE
Silver-Lead Question Fully
Described.
MR.BU0HAMTSSPEEOR
An Interesting ami Thorough Explanation
of tlio Important Subject Given
ut Rossland.
At the joint meeting of tho Boards
of Trade if Booth Kootenay held last
tek ��t Kosslnud, Mr. G.O.Bm l.ai.nii,
of Kiwlo made thn following oiirclnlly
prepared and interesting speech on the
silver-lead question '.
In tho early part of the winter of
1808 im sobjeotof the necessity of
doing t mething to relieve the difficulties under winch the silver-lead indus
tn- of Kootenay was laboring oarua
hetoe the Kaslo Board of Trade, and
I wus appointed upon a oommittee
rotmod to investigate and report upon
the subject. The Diugley tariff had
come into operation di thn 1st ot
July, 1897. Prior to that, cuder the
Wiis'nii tariff, we had entry fur our
ores Into the United States markets,
iiiion payment of a duty of |16 per ton
or \ oent per pound upon the lead con-
tents of tlio ore, and we nlso hud entry
into thnt market for lead in bullion at
the rnta of one cent por pnund, The
Pilot Hny smelter h.'d closed down be-
tore the Dingley tariff was adopted,
and before there was nny oertanty that,
It would be adopted. The Dingley tar-
ill' added |1 per ton to th�� duty upon
ore. making ihe duiv one and n half
ceuw per pound. Thia immediately
otad n great many of our mines. To
a greater or leas extent, load has been
prodnoed in British Columbia for the
past 11 years, Tho number of silveT-
learl claims that have boon recorded
muRt amount to many thousands. Out
of those . hundreds have undoubtedly
good show nigs, and havo in f lot been
developed to tho extent that they
have been cade sbi; ping properties.
But hoiv many of these properties
bave existed and persisted up to the
present time? Out of these hundreds
of claims, comparatively few closed
dawn lor want of oie, and yet very
few exist now as shipping mines.
This, of course, indicates that there
wns some dilliculty in their way. They
would not paj, nud they had to close
riown on lhat account. The majority
of these mines are closod flown on a
question of a few dollars per ton, and
a I'nw dollars additional value por ton
would Bet them working ngaiii Tho
Kaslo board of Trade considered that
the eiention of a home market iu
Ouundr, would in some measure alleviate the dilliculty. Finally, tho duty
devolved upon myself of going to Ottawa, which I did in the winter of
1808. With others, I interviewed committees of Ministers, and Ministers individually, also the various Depart
moats ,in fact, all who had any interest, direct or indirect, iu this question. Thev were loth to make any
promises, and we were at length informed by Mr. Patterson, Commissioner of Customs, that it v as the intention
to imnibdintely begin preliminary negotiations with the United StateB, in
regard to a treaty covering all points
ia dispute between the oountries, and
in conuection with this it was proposed to arrauge tor �� measure of reciprocal trade. We were informed that
tho Administration were unwilling,
Pending the result of these negtiations,
to take any steps to amend the tariff
on lead productions. There were numbers of mino owners in Ottawa at the
time, nud we came to the conclusion
that if under reciprocal arrangements
the duties on lead going itito the
United States oould betaken off it
would anwer the purpose, and the
American market would undoubtedly
Jo tho best ma*ke�� wo could hope to
una, Thero aro only two lead markets,
one the United States and the other
Ihe world. London prices prevail in
ad countries outside the United
btates, that havo trim trade relations
with Gieat Britain. We presented our
memorial to the Canadian commissioners, asking that they would endeavor
to obtain suoh terms" as would make
lead in all forma free, as between
the two countries,and particularly lead
bullion and lead ores.
Mr. J. B. MoArthur went east last
summer and we apuointed bim as our
representative, and at our request
ne appeared before the conforenoe at
Quebec, and in his report, made to ns,
he assured us that the Commissioners
would use every effort to oomply with
our wishes, and it was believed that
tney would oeoure.not only tree admission of ores, but, also free admission of
bullion. Vou bio told that these aro
"onoosBious that will never be obtain-
on. They will be opposed by the lead
mining interests on the other side;
"ley will he opposed hy the lend trust,
"ti'i wo fully agree with that. There
will probably be opposition on both
Nines of the liue against am- proposal
'or reoiprooity. However, as yon all
Know, is. very groat deal of progress
was made hy the Commissioners at the
conreieuce, and a soheroe of raoipro-
n 7 W,M Bot"ally arranged. We were
not asking the Amerioans for sonic
t��..% w,ltn nothing to give. We know
vZ a0,01*"" fn���r". we must give fa-
vo". Sir Richard Caitwrlght and Sir
; Louis Davies, who no doubt shaped
the polioy of the Canadian commissioners, are men whc have been trying
to get reoiprooity for the last 80 years.
It was only at onr earnest solicitation
tbat lead ores were ever put upon the I
list at all. It was liberal on the part
of the oonimissicners to take tbe stand
the; (lid, ,in deference to our wishes.
Up to tbo last moment of tho session
I of the oonfereuee, ou their adjourn- |
I ment last winter, the matter stood iu |
1 this position, that the commissioners
had pretty nearly oome to the conclusion that it was hopeless to apnly
for free admission of lead bullion or
manufactured lead, but they still
maintained that position, as shown in
a letter from Mr. Charlton, dated from
Washington, on the 14th of January,
and a telegram to tbe Kaslo Board of
Trade from Mr. Bostuok. A mamorial
had boeu obtained from the shippers
of lean ores iu the Slocan ramp, from
Ainsworth and Kaslo, and the resolution of the Kaslo Hoard of Trade bad
been obtained, and Mr. Bostock himself
had copies of them, and so we replied
in him in this way :
"This matter was fully considered
in June last, miners unanimous that
froe ores should be considered, if free
bullion cannot be obtained."
This is how matters stood at the adjournment of the conference. The Toronto Telegram congratulated the Kaslo Board cf Trade ou beiug the one
body that was going to get what it
asked for.
There is now no date fixed for the
resumption of the conference. However, we feel th.it a proper authoritative expression of opinion from this
convention wll carry more weight
than any other kind of memorial tbat
could be placed before the nommis-
Mnneis.
The greatest amount of lead overproduced in one year in Canada was some
lli.'Jiin tons, iu 1897, and during part
of that year the mines had the benefit
of tbe Wilson tariff. Last year, although a good oue in many respects
showed a considerable fall. In British Columbia we produced about 84,-
000 tons of ore. We aie told that this
could be disposed of at home without
reference to the Ameri"an market.
The Canadian market for lead In all
forms will amount to about 12,000 tons
per annum. By far the greater proportion of this will be in the form of
paint.
About three of the high grade mines
in the Slocan can continue to work at
the present time, aud they can pay
any charges that can be imagined. All
the other mines are engaged at the
present time in development work.
Is it desirable that this state of things
should continue? Shall oui piodueion
be restrioted for all time to 19,00 or
300 OOO tone of lea.4., as ����� maximum, or
is it desirable thai we s hould make
every possible effort to open up about
2000 lead mines in British Columbia.
1 maintain that there is no basis for
the argument that our mine ownerB
would not benefit and benefit largely
hy the removal of this duty upon lead
ores. The only other country except
Canada that is shipping lead ores into
the United States is Mexico and in
the year that the United States got
19,000 tons from ns tbey got 6000 from
Mexico.
This is our case Mr. Cbairman and
yon may be sure that we are supported
in this contention by all those who are
engaged in lead mining in this country.
Rossland is rapidly beooming the
financial beadqnaiters of Southern
British Columbia. Prosperity in tbe
silver-load mining districts will mean
additional prosperity in the districts
of oommerce and finance, suoh as the
Rossland distriot. (Applause.)
At the conclusion of the speeoh a
discussion followed and tbe motion
published in yesterday's Miner was
darned.
Before Friday's meeting adjourned
Nelson was chosen as the next plaoe
of meeting.
Another timely resolution was the
following re mail serivce:
Whereas, the attention of tbe associated Boards of Trade of Kastern British Columbia has Been directed to
numerous complaints in regard to the
irregularities in tbo mail service in
various parts of the Kootonays and
Yale district, to delav iu securing adequate postal faotilities for new and
rapidly growing raining districts, to
the insufficient salaries paid to the
road masters in towns and cities which
have sprung into prominence during
reoent years; to carelessness on the
part of Btage companies having contracts for the oouveyanco of the mails,
to delays in forwarding mails to points
adjacent to the main lines of railway
and generally to insufficient uud unsat-
isfaotory mail Bervice in the districts
mentioned :
And, whereas, particulars of complaints will be furnishd to the honorable, the postmaBter-genoral, should he
so desire:
Therefore be it resolved, tbat this
association desire to respectfully call
tbe attention of the honorable, the postmaster-general, to the complaints referred to and to urge noon bim to take
suoh steps as will place the postal service in Eastern and Southern British
Columbia on a basis more suited to
the requirements of the mining country which is being rapidly developed,
which consequently demands Bpeedier
and oloser attention from the postofflce
department than old established districts iu the east. Aud the association
desire to particularly urge upons the
honorable the postmaster-general, the
necessity ot providing a daily mail
service communication by railway,
steamers or stages.
THE I \lti:i.HKI.K TELEtlRAl'IIV
Rossland, Aug 5.���The Boards
of Trade of Kastern British Columbia closed a vory successful convention today. The delegates visited some of the mines this morning and
were entertained by W. H. Aldridge
at the Trail amelter at noon, leaving
on the evening train for their homes.

uo one can contend thnt tbe operation '

It is the latter thnt influences Tho
Toronto Telegram, which seeks to gain ;
popularity by its attacks on any entc-r- j
prise in which Messrs. Mackenzie and
Mann are engaged. Bnt it is ignorance in a local contemporary that
quotes the misrepresentation of Tbe
Telegram. Under the, Washington
Treaty Canada has tbe undoubted right
to the free navigation of the Stikine
for commercial purposes It is entirely
gratuitous to assume tbat the Washington authorities would have insisted
ou vexatious regulations, and simple
stupidity to conclude that any regulations would have been permitted that
would render that privilege nugatory.
The right to navigate the Stikine
means the right to navigate it, qb toth
tho Treaty Powers fully understand.

A Nelson Firm Glurily Admits Its
Great Value to Them.
That intelligent and well direr terl
advettisiug pajB has never been disputed by business men. It is possible
to advertise iu such a way that no returns may come to the advertiser, but
the advertisers who r.se the Miner's
columns are all intelligent advertisers,
and as a result the Miner's advertising space is always fully contracted
for.
In lnsf. Sunday's Miner the Walluce-
Mi'.ler Oo , e arted the advertisement
of their removal sale, and as their's is
a genuiue removal sale and the prices
they are offering are bargains their
run nis 10111 the publicity given their
sale through onr advertising columns
have been remarkably large. On Friday, with the results of but four days'
advertisements known to him, Mr
Miller came into the Miner ollice and
volunteered the cheering information
thnt his firm's sale for the fonr and
one-balf days of that week were in
size and amount double tbe sales for
the entire previous week. That is a
record of whioh tbe man who writes
tne ads for tbe Wullaoo-Miller Co.,
aud the newspaper that prints them
may both be justly proud.
It is safe to say that there are no
firms doiug business in Nelson that
would not immediately increase the
amount of their advertising oould they
be assured of the results attained bv
the Wallace-Miller Co. While the
Miner is not inclined to say that ir,
can do as munh for any firm it must
say tbat it oan soe no reason why it
should uot be able to do so, with as
much assistance on tbe part of tbe advertiser in the way of bargains ana
intelligently written and timely adver-
rihomnntH as has been given by tbe
Wallaoe-Miller Company.

A largo party of mining men returned to Nolson yesterday trom 4!) creek
aud Bird oreok where they have been
examining some mineral properties.
One of the prospects whioh attracted
particular attention was tbe Whitewater which is owned by Messrs. Davys,
(ioopel and others. A considerable
amount of work has been done on the
property, a small Huntingdon mill
called by one gentleman who examined
it a "ooffeo machine," has been erected aud about 100 tons of ore treated.
However, the mill only managed to
save about fl-"> to the ton of gold (the
tailings alone average nearly $14 to the
ton) and doubtless high values will be
obtained from a proper stamp mill.
About 4U(l tons of good looking ore is
now on the dump. This property is a
free milling gold proposition and the
vein is exceedingly rich.
A geutloman representing a London
syndicate has heen negotiating a deal
for it and probably the bond will be
executed tomorrow.
A Rossland man who has a bond on
tho f )phir on Bird Oreek returned with
the same party. The width of the
ledge has greatly Improved but the values of the samples bo brought back
with him have not yet been assayed.
The rock on the Ophir is a curiously
deceptive one. It is a shist interspersed with ([uart/.ite and very fine
iron pyrites.
Over 80 assays have beeu made and
show exceedingly high values in gold.
Pieces of rock that would scarcely
strike the stranger as being mineralised have inn over MQO in gold An
English gentleman who bus seen the
proporty considers it to be one of the
most promising ones iu the Nelson district. A 80 foot tunnel has been driven
iu it and though of conrse it is hard
to say to what depth the present vein
may run there is hut little douht tha*
Mr. Macdonald has struck a good
thing. The width of he ledge Is at
present about 10 feet.
* # *
Mr. M. S. Davys came down from
the Sil er King yesterday. He says
tbat thoy are sending down to the
Htneltor regularly 200 tons of ore per
diem. Some of tbe best looking ore
that ever came out of the mine is now
being shipped, native copper can easily
be seen sticking out. ot it. The mine
is singulnrly free of any outward disturbance, masters and men working
together in perfect acoord.
