Three inmates attemptod to leave tbe house this morning and were promptly nrrestod. Thev were all armed to tho teeth, enrrying loaded six shooters and hatchets und wearing hrasskiii'.ekles.

FUTURE OF SAMOA. Germany Has an Eye on R. L. Stevenson's Isles of the Blest. Beilin, Aug. 15. The National Zeitong. commenting upon the report of theSamoau commission, doubts that a satisfactory settlement of the Samoa]] question will he arrived at by lhe three powers, while tho tripartite Government lasts. It considers the best solution would lie in a transfer of the group lo Germany. If ibis be impossible then Germnay should elect a governor, thereby securing Jtwo votes while the English and An,ericnn interests should not be changed, one vote from them being necessary to form a majority. London, Aug lfi.���The companionship of the order of St. Michael and St. George has beeu conferred upon Mr. E. V, S. Maxse, the British coil sul at Samoa. The St. Petersburg correspondent of The Times at Apia, in a letter which appears this morning gives the report to the Samoan commission in exten - so, showing that in case of a failure on the part of tho three Powers tn agree as to a governor or administrator this functionary would be nominated hy the king of Sweden nnd Norway. Tho correspondent expresses the opinion that the report.offers the best security ever afordod for good order in Samoa aud a innintenance of good relations between the three powers, but he says hu cannot believe thnt this or auy other scheme which depends for its success upon tbe absence of dome.s- tiio and foreign international intrigue, can serve any purpose but that of a stop-gap. Bitlorahle Berlin, Aug. 15.���The Kolnishch Zeitung published what it describes as the substance of the S.tmoan commission. Aooording to thiB abstraot tho future Government of tho Samoan Islands is to cousist of a governor and a, counoil of three members, to be elected by the three powo s, Germany, the Uuited States an'd Great Britain. The commission favorB tho nomination of a European ruler as governor. Tho governor will nominate all officials and have power to punish or pardon state offenders. His signature will bo neoessary iu the enactment ot laws. The legislature will consist of the governor and oonnoil, three members a quorum and the governor having a casting vote. The powers reserve themselves the right to alter or invalidate laws enacted by tho legislature. The governor will annually oonvene an assembly of natives to deal with do mestio affairs. Its decision will be liable to revision or nullification by the legislature. The Chief Justioe is to bo elected He must be "A man of probity versed in law anl rqnity." His salary will be $5,000. All tlecrees of the legislature must havo received the ooueut. of three members of tbo native assembly, oomposed of tho govern ors of tbe different distriots. The Chief Justice or some other ofli- oial nominated by the governor shall preside over the deliberations of the assembly but withont a ivote. On all questions within his jurisdiction the deoisious of the Chief Justice shall be final but the three powers reserve the right to modify or revoke decisions ou politioal or constitutional questions or matters of international laws. Disputes between Sumoa and 1 any of the treaty powers are not to be regarded as causes of war, but are to be submitted to the Chief Justice. Tbe high court of justice will ba-e cognisiuuoe in tbe first and final instance ot all questions arising out of the interpretation of the treaty ajd of all questions concerning real prop erty and foreigners and crimes against life, lt shall also act as a court of ap peolj None of those provisions will interfere with tho jurisdiction of the council regarding.ships and sailors of their own nationality. The righs of habeas oorpus oan only bo suspended during a state of actual war. The salary of the governor or ad- J ministrator shall be |��,000. Special Account From Original Locator. the GATE VICTORIA A LIVELY ARGUMENT THE BURNT BASIN Is Within Easy Brach of i-'elsm via Bol- son and OolumbU and Western Railway. -Promisin; Olaims. The "Burnt Basin" is a new and promising district which has received considerable attention of late from some of the largest mining companies in Kootenay. Mr. A. P. Hunter, who is the original locater of claims in that district, sends the following interesting account: The Burnt Ba=in is situate iu the extreme eastern portion of the Kettle River ^Division of tbe Yale , mining district, British Columbia, lying eight miles east of Christina Lake, about 20 milofl north east from Cascade Oity, thiee miles from the town of Gladstone, which is on the Columbia & Western extension of the 0. P. R , 20 miles west of Rossland and 24 miles south west of the town of Brooklyn. The Basin can be reached from Nelson in a few hours by rail via Robson and the C. P. R extension to the Boundary country, the road now being in active operation and a passenger service will lo put on ut an early date. The Burqt Basin is so called on account of all vegetation having been destroyed by fire somo years ago. The altitude ia abort forty-five hundred feet. The first discoveries in this distriot were made by A. P. Hunter . nd J. \V. Henderson on August 4, 1896. The snme parties, uftir locating several claims, cut a trail from Tbe Cove on the eitsteru shore of Christina Luke through the dense undergrowth along McCrae Creek to their claims, The Ed- is jn group. Later iu the fall of 18!>s called. Had there beeu ten minutes more play Nelson would have undoubtedly won. On tbe whole they had the better ot the game through out. Blackwood oould not play today. Lynch and Hayer weie the most prominent stars. The team continues to improve with each game. A victory will certainly be scored nt Nanaimo and by the time the champions aro encountered at New Westminster the Nf I- son team will be able to give them a very good argument. The boyB are being very well treated ail along the line. SATURDAY'S GAME. Of the game with Vancouver on Sat- I urday t he News-Advertiser says in ' part: Individually Nelson perhaps has as fast a olub as plays the game, but were no match for the twelve-barrelled, play-together Vanconverites. In almost every way but the right way they showed skill and proficiency on the field, but in atiok-handling, catching and passing thev were notioeably oulolaened. * * * It was apparent, however, that Nelson bad a strong defence in Lynch, Grnnt nnd Thompson. Some attempt was made at combination with poor results. Balls, no mat ter how well passed, were poorly handled In tho picking-up and many of them were very poorly Jelivered, as often as not falling into the stick of the watchful Cowan or Foreman. Then the visitors resorted to the old time dodging methods. Their ability iu this line showed them nt once to be out of touch with the methods of modern lacrosse. It was easy enough some times to dodge oue man, but the seo ond ended in a spill and a lost ball. * * * Tho fourth game was remarkable for tbe manner iu whioh it showed tbe enduring strength of the visitor's defence. Jeffs' magnificent, runs up and down tho fiold were also a feature From eveiy standpoint this was the best game of the six. Iu checking, Nelson had the best of the play, but Vancouver easily outolussed tbe greens in team play. * * * The Nelson team will leave today on the Islander for Victoria where they play the Island champions on Tuesday. Tbe Westminster contingent at yesterday's game was large and included several of the playing members of the championa, who [came over to size np the up-nountrymon. NelBon's claims on the Provincial Championship will bave to go unsatis fied this season. They may win from Victoria. They ought to win at Nanaimo. From Westminster thoy canuot win. Westminster will give a diuner in honor of the Nelson team when they visit the Royal Oity. Manager Wright.of the Nelson team, speaking for himself and his doughty twelve, is more than pleased with the kindly way in which tbey have been treated here, not only by tbe lacrosse boys, but by tho public generally, Tbey could not have wishod for greater consideration aud kin ness. SAYS NICE THINGS. Thi Vanoonver Province treats the Nelsou team verv kindly. Among other things it says : When the Nelson lacrosse team started west to oapture the Provincial championship, its raembeis knew they had embarked ou an ambitious undertaking aud now they know and all who saw Saturday's game at Biookton Poiut know that the championship will foi this year at least stay in New Westminster. Against Vancouver's seniors they made an exceedingly good showing, and thej score of four goals to two fairly indicates the present difference betwoen the two teams. Of tho visi tors it may be said that individually they are all fast, skillful players, bet ter in fact than the Vancouver men, with possibly one or two exceptions. Their mmiing aud catchiug were su- petb and their checking au object lesson to those who believe that good lacrosse and rough playing are inseparable. In tbe one important essential ot combination tactics they however, showed a weakness which ovcntuallv cost them the match In Nelsou tbe practice grounds nre small and circumscribed to a degree, which practically readers impossible any free combination play, aud to-this fact their weakness in this department of tbe game is very largely attributable. The most noticeable feature of their play was au entire absence of rough body work aud indiscriminate' slashing. It was distinctly a treat to watch tho gentle wuy in which the husky Nelson men treated their smaller and j lighter antagonists. Not once was Referee Suokliug obliged to warn any of tho players, and takeu all through tbe game was the cleauest and heat that has beeu Been at the Point this year. Had tbey so desired they could have hammered the looal men to pieces in the fiist half and then won out at their leisure, very muoh as does a certain team in the British Columbia league. With practice the miniug town's team would undoubtedly prove superior to Va"couver's nud about equal to that of New Westminster. Even at present. on neutral grounds they oould defeat the J. B. A. A. aggregation with ease, bnt on the Victoria grounds a defeat for Nelson wonld not be surprising tomorrow afternoon. Previous to the start of the match the Nelson team rnled favorite iu betting circles, and one bet of 8 to 1 was reoorded. Even money was about the proper quotation. RUSSIA IN THE EAST.

Major General Sir William Francis Butler, who, it was announced yesterday in a dispatch from Oapetown to the AsBOointed Press, would be relieved aB commander of the British trooya iu South Africa as the result of his alleged Boer sympathies, has been recalled, and Sir Frederiok Walker haa been appointed to replace him. Walker is regarded as one of the ablest gee- erals in the army. His appointment therefore is taken to indioate that the situation is more grave. JJJn Tbtrs- day next General Walker will oome to Loudon to receive final instructions. THE PLAGUE IN EUROPE. The Czar Doclares an Open Port in China.

THE BURDEN OF HOSPITALITY It it all very well lo have Urge bodies of agreeable visitors, but tbnie who are responsible for the expenditure of civic fundB are to be com mended if they take time to count the cost before undertaking to entertain them. We have a pretty town, a nourishing town.au ambitious town; but in a civio way our establishment is yet but a modest one, and it is possible through a series of banquets to eat us out of house and home. Prudeuce suggests whether we should uot take very ear nest counsel with ourselves as to whether we ate bound to lavish extravagant entertainments upou every company of excursionists who choose to visit ns. That would seem to have been the thought that was uppermost In the minds of the members of the Council the other night, lt is their duty to provide for the civic maintenance, and no one knows as welliis they that the income for the support of it has its limits. Au Alderman bad to confess, with a wry face, that tbo last invasion of newspaper men left a moustrous emptiness In a corner of tbo corporation treasury. This does uot imply any lack of hospitality. Thu samo Alderman, with all the others cheerfully supporting him, would feast to the top of their bust all visitors who came along, if the oivio purse would but stand the cost. But if it will not stand it, what aie we to do? There is another body of newspaper men heaving in sight, to tbe number of a hundred. They will probably expect some attention. We are to be honored with the visit of the members of the Mining Institute, wbo will hold a convention iu Nolson. They may expect uo attention, but the feeling is general and quite strong thut we should give it nevertheless. Tbe Board of Trade, with a sympathy natural to the occasion, warm to the idea and oall on the Oity Council to join in the demonstration, to partake of the delights of it and more especially to share in the expense. What cau the Oonnoil do? Tbey have no fupd for the purpose; but the demands of hospitality aro too imperative, and will permit no escape through a plea of that kind. Whatever the condition of the purse, the table has io be set and tbe wiue deoantered, and so it comeB that they will be joint hosts with the Board ot Trade. And this is no sooner arranged than these hundred newspaper men uud women loom up, curious, iuquisi itive, thirsty, and hungry. It iB enough to drive the civio household distracted. As a pure matter of business, if we will permit so base a consideration to mix with our hospitality, it would pay us better to bestow our favoia and kiuduesses on the visiting journalists ;for they cover a large lielo, are men of cnnsetiuenco in it, aud we in the West desire nothing so mnch as to become better known in tbe East. But, then, tbere are the bills. It is a question whether tbe wisest thing to do would not be to leave all visitors to their own resources, or to such entertainment bb may privately be provided. we have been Eritl8*h and we nre more rather thau less so as we grow older. Should the Senate and Penurious lock horns on any qnestion of material interest, aim the Commons should appeal to the people ou it, there is no dnnbt] whatever that tbe Senate would bow to their expressed will, just as the House of Lords would feel bound to do at home. That is the only recognized or possible method of breaking a deadlock in the British Parliament and as a constitutional principle it has bssn accented in Canada, The fact that the Commons has never ye' challenged an issue of the kind ttoes not discredit the principle nor east the least ilnubt on the lenlicy of it. It merely proves, if it proves anything, that no vital disagreement haa arisen ; or if it has, that the Senate hns been so close to the right that the Commons has bieu afraid to appeal. >At The< HUDSON'S BAY COMPANY. m ���m *m mt- m Hi BIG HQVflL m- m- "The people of New Westminster have an excellent opportunity afforded them by the vacancy now existing in their representation in Jtbe Provincial Legislature,'' says Tlie Colonist of Sunday. The opportunity is to make a new departure iu British Columbia polities. But what is the good? The Miner believes tbat a great mistake was mado in defeating the Turnei Government. It believes that Mr. Turner is an iuliuitely hetter and safer man thau any now in power. But to all intents and purposes he is out of politics; at any rate he is out of the oountry, and is not at present identified with the Opposition. The Globe has suggested that the Opposition is disorganzed and sadly in want of a loader, and reoommt nds a convention tu pull it together. The Colonist has endorsed the suggestion and approved nf the recommendation. What good, then, to talk of opportunity, if measures are not ripe to take advantage of it?

Mr Drummond who hns personally supervised tho whole of the nndertiik- injg leaves Nelson this morning. Dnr- iiiK his stay in the town he has de voted the whole of his time to Bbecr hard work. "Labor viucit omnia" is Mr. Drunimond's niottoo nnd it is donbtless owing to h rigid observance of this creed that he has attained success for tho many undertakings in which ho is concerned. Thnt ho has given a stimulus to the welfars of Nelson they can be no denying. It is only to bo hoped that his sanguine expectations of ;he future of the town will be realised to Ihe fullest extent Missions is ill at the residence of Vt'ii Ham Clark.

While here this gentleman was a general favorite vvithall Both his good lady und himself will le greatly missed from Ymir society. ; The labor difficulty between the Londou tfe B, O. Gobi Fielos and the Miners' Union has done incalcuable barm to this camp. The business men in partioular have been greatly hurt. Two merchants havo already left owing to dullness of times, while a third ib preparing to remove. It i" to be earnestly hoped that this difficulty and misunderstanding which exists between this corporation and the miners will soon be settled amicably. IT WAS LOADED PUBLIC MEETING CALLED. Oitizens Will Decide What to Do With Visiting Newspapor Men. The visit of the members of tbe Canadian Press Association to Nelson next week will be taken ns nu oppor 'unity by the Oitizens of the Oity to impress upon the representatives of the leading papers and periodicals of Eastern Canada tho importance of the yueeu City of the Kootenays. One thing that Nelson has always lacked is legitimate advertising and the oitizens havo ofton let slip chances to put iu a good word for their City where it would be honeficiul This summer, however, hns hoen au exocn tion.for.eommeuciuB with The Miner's Speohl Kootenay Number, which has been circulated wherever the English tmigne is spoken, oue thing und another has beeu brought to the front to show the world that wo bave a great City here. So the visit of the influential newspaper men wi'l not be allowed to pass unnoticed. Tha Mayor hns asked The Minor to draw the attention of the citizens to the fact that tomorrow (Thursday) evening at 8 o'clock ii meeting of citizens will he held in the Fire Hall to determine what will bo done in the way of entertaining the visitors. Ot oourso the oliief question will bo ways and means for without the wherewithal nothing very elaborate could be done. The Oity Counoil has no money for such n purpose���or at nny into very little-nnd nn effort will hnve to be made to supplement the City's "'tiering. So it is probable that a subscription list will be opened and citizens will he asked to contribute in proportion to what importance eanh at- tuchos to the visit of the members of ���he fourth estate. There should bo a good attendance at the meeting tomorrow evoning. Pete Henrietta and Pat Redmond Severely Injured iu the Gem Mine. A serious accident occurred at the Gem mine ou Sullivan Hill, Wednesday afternoon wherebv Pete Henrietta had his leg and arm each broken in two places and Pat Redmond was badly .jut up. it seeniB, says the Fort Steele Pro pector, that before going to dinner several shots were tired in the bottom of the shaft, the report from which was distinctly beard. After dinner Henrietta and Redmond went down tho shaft tn resume work. Noticing one hole which bad apparently shot without breaking rook they concluded to ;drill Jt deeper when an explosion took place, with the result mentioned. The full extent of Henrietta's injuries woie not ascer'ained, as it is possih'e he may ho injt.red internally He wus laken to Kiutherly, a distance of 2J^ miles, on a stretcher and Dr. King of Cranhrook wbb called. Redmond was not badly hurt, feuper- intendeni Houghton did everything in 'its power for the sufferers Both men wero old miners but supptsing the hole had shot did not lest it ns is enstont- nry. One theory advanced by nu oltl mine* is that one of the shots blew the collar nnd primer, from the other and the report was the same as though the shot hail gone off although under snch circumstances the report is sharper than ordinary.

The manager of the smelter has given orders for the excavation to be commenced for a new meohauioal roastei. This addition to the smelter will bo for the special purpose of de- Btilpherifling lead ores and matte. Of course it will be some little time before the roaster is ready for work (tbe length is over 120 feet long) but the news is encouraging as it means a greatly iucreased oapacity for treating the lead ores of the distriot. THE CRITICS ON GODFREY. Of Lieutenant Dan Godfrey and his glorious British Guards Band, wbo arrive here next month, the critics of the United States have added to the laurels of praise tbe oonduotor of Her Majesty's Grenadier Guards has gainod in England. "Undoubtedly the finest Kthat has visited the city," was the comment of Mr Henderson, tho nri'ioof the ',N. Y. Times. '"It is really admirable, ' said Mr. Kroh- blel, Of the Tribune. "Au unalloyed joy," was the eulogium of the N. Y. Sun. "In bund concerts they have roaohed the pinnacle of excellence," said tbe Washington Post, the paper after which Sousa named his first famous maroh, and when Lieut. Godfrey played tbis number at the capital, the Post itself said : "Never bave Ameri. cans b eard the 'Washington Post, played iu suoh a masterful fashion" Boston, critical Boston, went into similar raptures over the British Guards' musio. "They electrified the audience," fluid the Globe "hearts enptured," was the Herald's headline. "Practically flawless," remarked the Transcript. In Buffalo, where band music reoeives high appreciation the Oonrier's Critic said "With due appreciation of the many splendid orgauiza tions iu this country and elfiewhero, it may he stated that Liout.

WILLS'S I WORK OF DEVELOPMENT What is Being Done on the Two Oaitn". The Latest News from the Ym:r Camp. One of the most promising properties in tan Lemon creek in the Alexandra- Del ley which is "situated ou the J second north fork of that important oreek. It'is owned by rhe Alexandra- Delley Mining & Milling Company which has its office in Nelson, U. Audersou of Rosalia, Wash, is president of the company aud Ralston Me- Caig, also of Rosalia, is secretary. P. E. Seelye is the manager aud representative of tho company iu Nelson. He is a miner of twelve years experience and daring that time has worked in most of the raining distircts on the oontinent from Alaska to the southern states. The members of the company have taken uearly all the stock and very little has been offered to the publio. There are two claims in the group, the Alexandra and the Delley. They were located in lh!J(i and were pur- ohased by a member of the present company in 18117, and were Crown Granted in 1KII8. Although in the Slocan district tbe mine is be ing operated from Nelson as the wagon load built by the Uro company term! untos within V.-,. miles of it. A wagon road for this distance can easily be bnilt to the Alexandra at very little expense and the compauy intend doing this work in the near future. A new and large cabin will be erected at once to provide comfortable winter quarters for the meu. A blacksmith shop will also be among this fall's improvements A representative of The Miner visited the property this week anl found that tbere had bimn a HOfnot shaft sunk on the ledge. A tunnel of 356 feet bas been run on the ledge and when in iiOO feet will he nnder the shaft at a depth of 2!I0 feet. Mr. Seelye did not expect to strike the oro chute 1111 til the tunnel was under the shaft but much to his delight it was struck at a distance of 240 feet from the mouth of the tunnel or HO feet before tbe utta't is reached The first ore struck consisted of ihree stringers,each about four inohes wide,whuh assayed $50 to the ton iu silver, lead and gold. As the tunnel progressed more stringers appeared until they now number about a dozen which if put together would make a body of about two feet of solid ore. The character of the ore has ohwnged from a lead galena to a steel galena. While no assay has as yet heen|made from the latest ore fount', in the tunnel Mr. Seelye is satisfied that it will go much higher than $50 as it improves in value i s they go in. Every "hot adds very much to the appearance of the mine and there is no doubt that within a few days a large body of ore will be opened up. Where they started on it the ledge was five feet in width and now it has increased to night feet, with talo oi both walls. The Miner's representative found two well defined walls moiling the full length of the tunnel. Good ledge matter was 30ntinnous until the ore chute wns struck. An examination of the face of tho tunnel wns made after the 12 o'clock shot. All through tho face stringers of galena were in evidence. The galena is mixed all through white quartz averaging eight feet in width. The talc oo both walls iu richly mineralized and the whole showing indi ates that a large ore body will be struck very shortly. The ore is taken from the tunnel on �� car and dumped at the mouth where tbere is a splendid natural dumping ground. The it aft was next examined. It is 0x7 feet and shows mineral nil the way from the surface, running from nine to IK inches of solid oro which assays from $75 to $;',7s in gold, silver nnd lend. No work is being done on the ���haft now but as soon as the tunnel gets beneath it an upraise will he made to supply air. In .valking over the two claims the ctoppiugs wero observed lor l.dOOJfeet nnd the test holes show from one to three feet of mineralized quartz. There are a dozen of these test holes and the oroppiugs are uniform throughout. The vein crosscuts till the formations which goes to show that it is a true fissure. All in all the properties give promise of developing into an exceptionally rich mino aud consequently tho outlook for tho owners is a very rosy one. Mr. Seelye has shown himself a to be a oapable manager. He has opened the.'property in a very economical manner. Everv dollar has been spent where it could do tho most good and he has proved the property in a way that, has been highly satisfactory to his directors. JShipoiug will commenci this winter. Arrangements will be made to havo tho ore treated at the Oro mill ���whiob is situated only three miles from tho mine. Mr. Seelye's scheme of development includes running a lower runnel to tap the ledge at a depth of n thousand feet No hotter tunnel sites could be had than those provided by the hill iu which the mine is located. Plenty of water ami timber are conveniences of which tho mine can boast. Five men nre at present at work hut the stuff will be lurgely increased in rhe ne'ir future. Mr. Seelye has some specimens of tho ore from the Alexnudra in his Nelson office nnd wonld to pleased to show them to anyone who wishes to be cou- Ymir, August 15 ���(Special) ���Messrs. English ic linker have just returned from Copper Camp which is situated at the heal of Priest river They reached Vmir by way of lhe Sheen creek trail. They brought out with them some maguificent Bpeoiraens from their property. They nre interested in eleven claims and each shows grey '-upper and galena ledges. The ledges run ail the way front four to six feet in width aud curry values ranging from Kill to 400 onuces of silver, from nine to 15 per cent, cop per. niid."cold_nll the way from $7 up to $10. They"have held these claims ���once 1895 aud have done considerable work on them. The formation is serpentine and granite and in nearly every instance the ledges nre contacts hetween tbvse formations The nearest point from the pr ip'-rty lo transporta tion is Rykert which is IS miles away. They maintain that that particular section is the best copner camp yet found in British Columbia. There are some 800 claims located on the divide of tho river and ore fiom some of the properties can 1)3 obtained that will mn -15 per cent, crpper. McMillan Bros , who are managing Ihe Lou- dou & Rossland Goltl Mining Company nre interested in tbat country. A. Hughes reports that the character of ore from his piop-rty, Silver Lake group, i�� improving. The specimens which he bought iu would indicate more gold and less lead value than heretofore. The mineral body is three feet wide with two feet of quartz fairly well mineralized He has gone back to work on the Montreal which adjoins Ibis group on the south, from this properly he has souii very fine mineral,which runs well in gold. "The whistle of the'Lako Shore air compressor will be heard about next Tuesday morning," said Manager J. C. Drewry last evening. "The delay in getting the machinery in place bns heeu somewhat longer than we anticipated, bnt now everything is in readiness to commence operating the mine is a systematic manner." This week the plant wns enclosed in a good sized hnilding with a corrugated iron roof, and the flume nnd the water tanks wero completed. Carpenters are now work- rig on the ore bin near the railway, and finishing tbe long trestle leading thereto.���Moyie Leader New York, Ang. 15.���Bar silvei HO1;,'; Mexican dollars, 48 ; silver certificates my, to oi.
