When the curtain rang down on the magnificent tableau which concluded tbe final presentation of Pinafoio last night the audience���and it was one whicb completely filled the house��� gave expression of its appreciation of the brilliant perfomauoe by long and load cbeers. Piosiac band-olapping was insufficient to convey all they felt, lint the loudest cheers conld not do oredit to the work of the amateurs wbo so capably fillod their parts lust week. It was an audience that went there to enjoy itself and their enthusiasm seemed to sproad to the stngo for the perfomanco was certainly very much better than ou the two previous occasions. It went nil' with a dash aud was maintained throughout at a high pitch that carried all before ir. Encores were the order of the evening and it is safe to Bay that amateur npera was nevei so perfeotly presented in tbe Province aa it was last night. The Miner has already mei tiond th prinoipals individually achieving great suocesa on Thursday evening, hot eaoh of tbem gained fresh laurels in the final produotion. Thero was not a hitch during the evoning and nil those connected with it must be most heartily congratulated on the wouderful suooeus aoheivetl. Flowers in abundance were presented to Little Miss Quinlan after her clever danoing of the hornpipe. Herr Steiner wns presented with a laurel wieath aa the cnrtaiu went dowu nnd loud cheers gieeted the act. To him only the warmest praise can be given, as he certainly haa done splendid work with prinoipals, chorns and orchestra. Nelson's first attempt at amateur opera haa been a success beyond the expectations of tho most optimistic It shows tbat tbe oity possesses rare telenet and should not let its light attempt to shine nnder a bnshol. In Pinafore Nelaon hns something to be deoidedly proud of, and it is hored by all who have beard it that the whole oompany will appear at Rossland this week aud show that oity what Nelson can do. At all events tbe opera shonld be presented some place else if all those taking part can spare time. Aa a result of the three performances $850 was taken in, which leaves a handsome surplus, although the management spared no expense to make the production the entire success It was. All accounts against Pinafore should be sent to Melville Pairy, the honorary seoretary. by Monday evening, as the oommittee meets on Tuesday to wind up tbe business. NO CONNEUTION.

The mayor of Ottawa said tbat assistance was greatly needed, and upon tbe receipt of the telegram Mayor Hart issued a call for a publio meeting to consider tbe matter uext Monday. BRIEF LOCALS. Fred Lynch, well known in Nelaon, leaven on Monday for Westminster, where be will reside in future. He hns secured a position with the West- onnster electrio light plant, and incidentally will become a member of tbe Westminster lacrosse team. Mr. Lynoh's departure from Nelson will prove something of a loss to the local laorosse team. The r'sidenta of Portland, Spokane, Rosland and the Boundary towns were eiven an opportunity last night of hearing the opera Pinafore aa presented at the Opera House. The Kootenay Lnke Telephone Company had receivers at the footlights and the long die- auce wires carried the music and woida for hundreds of miles. All tbe subscribers in Nelson oould also have heard it and those wbo knew of it enjoyed tbe troat of having opera In their homes. John Drydeu bad a somewhat unfortunate experienoe at Nine Mile Point yesterday. Aft t landing from a small boat lie seized hold of a boulder to help him up the bank. The boulder waa not firmly planted and fell from Its plaoe crashing down tbe hank and fairly into the boat from whioh Dryden bad just landed. Whnt was left of tbe beat, after being dried, would make very good kindling wood. The small stock of goods in tbe boat, amounting In value to abont $50, was also destroyed. Mr. Dryden bad a narrow escape but came out unujured. Dr. McLennan has a hoodoo. On Friday he leaned heavily on tbe cigar case in tho Hume Hotol, and, being a heavy man,bis elbow went throngh tbe glass. Lnter on ho was showing a friend how it happened, and forgetting himself leaned nn the other glue and ngnin disaster followed, the glasa giving way beneath the weight. Yesterday morning the glasses were replaced and during the afternoon Dr. McLennan called ou Mr. Seaney to settle for tho damage dona In counting out some money he again leaned on tbe oase and again the glnss gave way. Three show-oase glasaea in two days was a little more than tbe doctor oonld stand, and now he can't be ooazed within six feet of the cigar counter. (BY ASSOCIATED 1-H10HS.) London. April 39.���Tha total absence of news from the seat of war in Sonth Afrioa during the last 24 hours indicates that operations aro progressing hiob it is deemed prudent to keep aeoret. So far aa the situation in the southeastern part of the Free State can be worked from ont the latest despatches tbe main body of tbe Boers, composed of the forces recently holding Thaba N'chu and Dewetsdorp, 1b retiring, probably with a view to joining, in the neighborhood ot Ladybraud, the coin mandolin from the vicinity of Wepener who made good tbeir retreat. Tbe main body of the Boers is beiug followed by Generals Hamilton, French, Brabant and Hart, while Oeneral Rundle also ia on the spot. The British have an overwhelming foroe and ought to wipe tbe Boers from tbe face of tbe earth if they succeed in overtaking them aud bringing them to bay. It may be assumed that the Boera are to tbe east of a line drawn from Thaba N'ohu to Wepeuer. Tbe retreat it seems ia being carried out without fighting, whioh indicates that the Boera have a good start, and as tbe despatches state that tbey are not hampered by much transport and leave uo tracks behind tbem on the veldt, this mititates against the probability of their being oreitaken. While it is possible that news of a battle may oome, tbe chances seem ro be that the retreating commandoes may get away without beiug forced to turn aud fight. It is within possibilities that Lord Roberta may bave begun hia advanoe north. Tbis may be the seorel that tbe oenaor baa been so jealously guarding. Tbe oi'tcome of this interesting situation oannot be long delayed. The news from other points is unimportant and uninteresting. Some fighting continues about Warrenton, apparently ineffectually, as no casualties have been reported on eitber aide. A speoial despatch from Beira, dated April 27, states tbat tbe despatch of Oeneral Oarrington's division to Rhodesia is progressing as rapidly as oiroumstances will permit Seven transports have already lauded troops and stores. Thaba Nortb, April 88.��� General Roadie's division haa arrived hero. The march from Dewetsdorp waa uneventful. General French aud General Hamilton are also tbere. The BoerB are reported to be ten miles to tbe eastward. The mounted foroe oame ln contact with tbem and a slight skirmish ensued. The result of Ihe junotion of Generals French and Rundle is tbe clearance of tbe oonntry of Boers at tbis point. (SPECIAL TO THE MINER.) Winnipeg, April 28.���Three new oases of smallpox have developed sinoe last evening,briuging the total number of patients to l-i. The aoojmmodation at tbe Logan Avenin smallpox quarantine, wbicb hns hitherto beeu oramped, is now ample. A large staff of men have been engaged iu putting up buildings, and there is now accommodation for 80 patieute. A "suspect" tent has been provided where persons suspcted of having the disease mny be kept until it is certain they are not affected. Of tbe cases now at the quarantine at least four nre very serious, including tbe two nurses vho were the first to contract the disease fiii" '"inlaysou. F.W. Thompson, general manager of the W. W.

Tbe last stretch of the maroh was very trying, as from tbe moment tbe regiment moved to support the naval gnus, it wuh going constantly, pressing in pursuit. This was an exceedingly hard d��y and the men wero fairly done out. Towards the end of the day the right of the line passod through a swamp and the men drntik bad water. Tbe rations could not keep up and the night was bitterly cold." Vancuovor, B. C, April 28.���Respecting tbe Government seizure of ties and logs on the Orow's Nest Pass line on account ot the alleged mm-payment, of timber dues, it is ascertained they bave been released, payment having been made under protest. Tlio O. P. R. is taking action or trying to tnke action through the courts to recover the money paid. Ottawa, April 28.-Ono of (he unknown dead iiftlio lire was identified as William Foley of Ottawa. The Oity Hall relief fund is now 142,000, the citizens' fund $0,210, and tho Journal fund $3,075. Vast orowds visited tho burned district ond many are coming on trains to view the ruins. LONDON Saint George is Not In With Ireland's Patron Saint. it Pretoria, April 28.���Tbe representative of Renter's Telegraph Company, with the Federals at Brandfort, ia informed that tbe British at Jammers- drift tried lo get ammunition through Basntoland but tbat tbe Basutos stopped the wagons and informed General Dewet that ��� strong contingent of Ba- sutos are guarding the line to prevent any entrance. Native reports from Johannesburg ��ay tbe Government inspectors are con vinoed tbat dynamite was the cause of the recent explosion and tbat tbe dynamiters' trail has been traced to a va- ennt house in tbe vicinity of the first txloaion. Tbey bave therefore stopped all trains through Delagoa Bay in order to prevent the escape of tbe suspect*. Toronto, April 28,��� There was a dig- agreeable sceue at the meeting of tbe Toronto oity council over a vote for tbe relief of Hull and Ottawa when it was proposed to give $25,000. Aid. Crane, who is wealthy, objected to tbe dead- beata iu the council giving so generously of the people's money. Some one else objected. Mayor Maodonald then said: "Oh, never mind, these illiterate peoplo must bave their joke. Crane bas gold, but it is all he bas." Orane got very angry, was a 1 moat speechless with rage and attuokei the mayor savagly, but little of what he said could be beard in tbe uproar, exoept that be said that it was all very well for the mayor to vote.the city's money while he was getting his living out of tbe oity and at tbe same time his aged mother was living on the obarity of a township. It was now the mayor's turn to get wrathy. He loudly oalled for a policeman to eject Orane. In the din of battle some one put a stop to the disgraceful scene by moved an adjournment, and Crane following the mayor out of the Counoil calling him an "old slug. " The council bad previously carried a $20,000 vote. Viotoria, B.

Ottawa, April 28.���Hamilton has a letter in tin Globe, dated March 28, telling of the battle of Poplar Grove, in which Roberts outflanked tbu Boers, defeating them witb loss. ^Higher np tho Modder River, our brigade played an important part and Buffered a few oaaualties, the engagement being one of minoeuvering backed by artillery fire. The Canadians were used as a reserve during the filing. They then advanced along the north bank of the rivei for eight miles to Poplar Grove drift There they were sent forwurd to oooupy Slaggakraal in advanoe of tbe Britiah main position. There they came in touch with the Cornwalls who bad come around by tbe nortb, Tcrouto, April 28.���Faith Fenton, writing to the Globe from Dawson, sayB: "One of the reoent Alaska discoveries uot yot known to the gensral publio is that of gold and oopper locations ou Butteriok Creek and one nr two other small streams enteiing Boring Straits, between Cape York and the Prince of Wales Capo. Reports appear to have been circulated by Ameriaan const papers that Dawson is dead from a commeroial point nnd is almost a deserted mining camp. Your correspondent desires to give these accounts nn emphatic and unqualified denial. Dawson is more soundly prosperous to dav thnn nt any time since ils inception. It decreased very mnoh in population in tbe past year, but this was as muoh due to Cape Nome as to tbe wild rush into the Kloudike of 18117. Cape Nome will undergo a similar experience during the ooming year." Ottawa, Out., April 28.���Owing to illness in tbe family of Joseph Cole, who wns appointed a commissioner in conneotion with tbe proposed issue of scrip to tbe Northwest halfbreeds, he bas been compelled to offer bis resignation.

Constantinople, April 27.���Tho United States legation hns not yet reoeived the Porte's answer to the note banded to Tewflk Pasha, tho Turkish Foreign Minister, by the American Charge d'Alfairs regarding tbe indemnity claims, snd tho impression ia gaining ground tbat tbe reply will be in the negative. The geueral opinion is that wlthont a display of foroe tbe Porte certainly will not pay the olaima, booanse It wishes to show tbe rest of the world that it yields only to force. It is thought bere that a simple rupture of dlplomatio relations will render the Porte easier to deal witb. A rupture of formal relations, however, ia not thought necessary, as the sending of war ships to a Mediterranean port would sulllce to obtain a settlement of tbe matter iu less than 24 hour*. The same proposition made to the United States for a Bettlement of Ihe indemnity question by an order for a war ship, in the prioe of which tbe indemnity ahould be included, waa formerly made to France and Italy, bnt M. Con- atana and Seuor Pansa rejected the proposition. The newspaper criticisms and nom European Powers Follow America's Example at the Porte. Germany's Increasing Naval Power a Menace to America. (BY ASSOCIATE!] I'lIESS.) London, April 28.���The past week has witnessed an attempt to oelabiate St. George's day with the same enthusiasm that marked St. Patrick's annifersnry. One result v/aa that iobch slightly i.i 'leased in price abd there wus a sprinkling of flags, hut on tho whole the etfortH to oelunrste England's patron stunt wns by no means successful. Except by handling the gold coinage of the reulm, few people here have any knowledgeof St.George, nnd in the popular mind be retains only nninterestiug associations, in wbich he is connected by conquest, over the dragon, portrayed on the hov- erelgns, and which fail to awaken eu- thnaiasm iu England. The American cnmplicaticua with Turkey continue to be the sensation of the day. The Outlook, after declaring the Sultan and Isaac Gordon, the notorious money lender, who died leoont- ly, were brothers in mntters of money, says: "Tho Sultau has uow fallen back ou the desperate debtor's Inst devioe of buying more, and has offered to placo an order for wnr vessels witb an American firm if only the American government will accommodate bim a while longer, but tbe American government will do nothing of tbe kind nnd intimates that unless tbe dollars are forthcoming, the matter will bo put in the hands of the United States army." President McKinlny'a candidature may not enjoy immense help from a naval demonstrtaion in the European waters, for the European powera, who are fellow sufferers witb America in Amenia, are in wholesome imitation taking steps to presa their olaims and under such pressure Turkey must give way. Russia is holding aloof, but menaced by Japan sho is hardly likely to lend Tuikey more than eoant aid. During the course of a long article, the Speaker maintains the diflloulty is ch:olt.y dun to the exploitation of the Oontinental and American press and ridicule tho possibility of serious outcome. lu opposito connection witb the Turkish dispute ia the Spectators lengthy comment on the mossage of Emperor William to the Empress. After saying its sentiments are sincerely eohoed townrd Germany by all wiae Englishmen, it gone on to speak on tho possibility attaching to Germany's in creasing naval power. "It may be," says tbis important weekly, "that Iho naval liuttlo axe, abused in ways, will not concern us ; on tho other hand, it is thought it may be dirooted against the most dearly cbeiiahed aspirations of onr kith and km iu America. Tbere is aHtrong possibility of German naval power being used in future |o a way America will consider so contrary to ber interest tbat she will at all risks forbid that use." BUFFALO RESPONDS.

Near Paardeberg Drift, .March 2.���On Saturday, February 17, we continued marching ull night. We arrived at Paardeberg Drift about 8:30 a. m. tired and hungry and looking forward to spending the day (Sunday, February lHth) in a good and sound sleep. Breakfast of a cup of coffee and bus- cult was no sooner ready than orders were given to be ready to start in half an hour's time. The Boer's laurger being within four miles of us on the Modder river on which we were also camped, many like myself who were on guard or watering the mules and horses, had no time to drink their coffee before the cook pots, etc., were packed away in the wagons and perforce had to be contented with the regulation hard tack biscuit. What revived us more than anything was a good big lot of rum served out to each man. Again our brigade marched off to the drift at the river and there a sight met us. Owing to the recent rains tbe river was rusbibg down at a great pace carrying all before it; men and horses were struggling in the water trying to cross. On the opposite bank a riderless horse or two let us see that the fighting was hot far off only to be confirmed by a dismounted soldier who had battled through the water to our Bide of the bank; tbe only survivor of a party of six, who bad been cut off by the Boers. Four more of his comrades he said had also been washed away in fording the river. On our left the Royal Horse Artillery were making a rush for It, their horses being well drilled never swerved and struggled bravely through with the gunB and limber. Not so with our ammunition, carts and mules, the water being too deep and strong for the later, who were Swept off their feet and washed down. Two long ropes being received we Bwiun across to the opposite bank und made tbem fast and then the Gordons and Canadians started to cross four at a time arm in arm, No. 1 holding on to the rope. One deep pool in the middle was the worst place and a ludieious sight it was to Bee a pair of bare legs kicking frantically In the air as some poor Highlander would be swept off lliu feet, the upper part of the body weighed down with ammunition, but held safe in tbe strong grasp of bis neighbor wbo again was holding on to the rope. It seemed impossible to get our inarching guns over, but the difficulty was solved by a small pontoon being brought down and by dismounting the maxim, taking the ammunition boxes out of tbe limber the pontoon carried tbem across towing the empty limber behind. Taking a mule apiece and a friendly grasp of the rope they were safely got over though not without a ducking to ourselves, when the rope got slack in tbe middle. The Oordons and Canadians ull got across safely and marched on. No. 2 maxim section was left behind to operate on the other side if necessary. Marching for about a mile we came upon thu Canadians lying at full length on the ground in skirmishing order, the Gordons on their left and variouB eon,panics of the Seuforths, Cornwalls and Shropshire* on either Hank ami tbe Lincolns also on the right flank. Driving up amongst our regiment I found tbey buil already been under lire and to take cover and not move was the order. I found that I was with the maxim, in, undesirable commodity Immediately next the men I happened to halt amongst. j\s sitting on the limber 1 made it fairly good target for the enemy and bullets began to fall pretty heavily around about. One poor fellow in I company called out to me to uiove on for goodness, sake and the next minute a bullet ended his earthly career. Till then I hardly realized we were really in a light. The enemy were strongly entrenched on our right front along the banks of the Modder river. Tougasor Nullaho running at right angles to the sleep luniks of thirl ver forming natural trenches from i to aO feet deep and filled with Boers. The heavy foliage and trees all along the river afforded most excellent cover to the enemy who were (here in great force. Directly on our front at about lliOO yards were some Kalllr huts and low kopje ridges running down the trenches on the river und along this position the enemy could plainly be seen i a lining from Stone to stone or from one ant hill to another. Up till now the regiment was fairly under cover from the enemy entrenchments and the lire from the river, owing to a slight uprise ln the veldt, and were only exposed to a front fire whicli was returned with interest. But the enemy though at a distance of about 1600 yards had our range down to a nicety, und one or two casualties were occurring. Captain Bell believing be might get the maxim on to a kopje behind tbe Kaffir huts and once there get a strong position to enable bim to play upon the enemy In tbe trenches and in the river, gave me orders to get tbere if I possibly could, the remainder of the section to follow individually at a distance from the gun to escape the fire it was bound to draw. Meanwhile the brigade was slowly advancing in skirmishing order and the rattle of the musketry becoming greater each minute. The guns of the artillery away on our left front, had taken up a position and commenced to throw their shells amongst the river banks. It is not quite the nicest job to sit on the limber of a maxim nnd to know that you arc the object of the perfect hail of bullets that is flying over your head and you have not the satisfaction of letting your rifle off at them, r felt if I would give anything to let one of them have it with my rifle before they hud me. As I had orders to get to the kopje as best I could I affected a ruse to accomplish my object, by suddenly falling (seemingly so) off the limber, easing the mules up and taking cover behind a large untheap. To all appearances I had shuffled off this mortal coil. Looking over my cover, dodging from antheap to antheap, followed the remainder of the section about 300 yards in the rear and enjoying a similar reception to what I experienced, as wc were now fully exposed to the fire from river front and trenches. Waiting for the section to come up I once more seized the reins, jumping or the limber plying the whip on my unicorn team for all I was worth and getting a fairly good gallop out of the mules made the shelter of the kopjes and was soon rejoined by the re mainder of section. Our next move was to get on a small kopje ridge 200 yards distant and once there wc would have good cover aud ample scope to work the maxim and at the same time get in a good rifle fire from our section of 10. Having gained the section of the kopje our detachment was joined by two companies of the Gordon nnd Shropshire Light Infantry. Advancing to the brow of the kopje we were met by a heavy fire from tbe enemy's trenches by the river and also from the Kaffir huts now on our right flank. Several men fell and the order given to drop under cover, but notwithstanding the enemy kept picking men off as they lay. The order was then given for the maxim, Gordon and Shropa to advance to a small kopje two hundred yards further on and take up their position there while a part of the Shropa advanced on the Kalllr huts on our right. I verily longed for ' 'the wings of a dove'' as we doubled across tbe open space to the other kopje, being met by a continous shower of bullets playing sad havoc amongst the men. The kopje once reached we had excellent cover among the large boulders and quickly had the maxim unlimbered and in action nt 800 yards, firing into the trenches and river bank. We had a splendid position overlooking the trenches but the dense brush on the river bank effectually concealed the enemy's sharpshooters. The slightest sight of our helmets above the boulders from which we were firing being Sufficient to draw a deadly fire; the bullets striking the rocks on all sides, fragments of the nickle casing dropping amongst us all the time. Meanwhile some of tbe Canadians had advanced up to the firing line in com- pnny with the Seuforths, Cornwalls and Lincolns and a lively lire was being exchanged on both sides. For five hours we lay exchanging shots, the sun pouring down unmercifully till a welcome relief came about 3 p.m. In the shape of a heavy thunderstorm, the rain drenching us to the skin. The horse artillerys'guns which had been silent for some time now renewed their lire with increased vigor, the shrapnel bursting over the trenches in great shape.

Judging from the dead and dying around our kopje the losses amongst the Canadian regiment must indeed he large, and so it proved to be. Eighteen killed and UU wounded (10 Blnee died.) These were the figures next morning. The enemy kept Bnlp- '��(? at our men till darkness set in when one by one we regained onr sections and stumbled back into the darkness to the drift we had crossed that morning. Prom out of the darkness COttld be heard the cry of the wounded lying on the field calling for water. Men wandering around calling for their regiments, but all making for the drift and what a sight met our J��ie there! Down the steep banks of the river was a long procession of the ���lying and wounded, a scarcity of Mietehersjnecssltatlug improvised lit- ters of rifles and blankets, a poor sub- ���tltute for a badly wounded mnn. The ��"ly means of carrying the wounded over was by a miserable little pontoon that could only take two stretchers at a "tne. Luckily the moon was out by "out 11 p. m. which considerably ��lded the work of the Btretcher-bcarers '""I willing helpers. Foremost amongst the latter wiib Lieutenant Hodgins, Who having heen In the thickest of the "large, was now doing his utmost for "IO welfare of the wounded in his oompany, All night long did he super- intend and aid In the help of the the wounded. 1 a. in were lying dead Highlanders, the Seuforths having suffered severely. The casualties all told were close to thirteen hundred for Sunday, February, 18th. Speaking to Lance Captain W. G. .1 ing storm swept over, soaking ns all to tbe skin. Abont 5 p. m. the Oolonol of the Cornwalls gave tbe oommand fix bayonets audprepaie to obarge. At the charge we got np, Canadians, Corn wallB, Lincolns and Highlanders and all charged together. A perfect bail Arriving in camp about too tired and hungry to be of experience and which I will now put down; "Crossing the drift about 9 a. in , (A Company) took up our position in skirmishing order as reserve to firing line of Seaforths, Lincolns and Cornwall regiments being fifty yards behind the firing line. The firing line occupied a position like a horseshoe, facing the trenches and about five or six hundred yards distant. About an haur after taking pn.iiti.in the right half of A Company (the British Columbia contingent) advanced to the firing line mingling with the Highlanders and other regiments. Captain Arnold of A Company was lying half way between the firing line and the left half of A Company, looking through his glasses and directing his men when to fire. He was shot about 11 in the morning and while being carried back both the stretcher-bearers were sii"!. one through the body and the other through the hand. I did not seem to consider anything, but lay down as if firing at a target. On one side of me was a color sergeant of the Seaforths and on the other an N. C. O. of the Lincoln. The position I occupied having previously been occupied by a Seaforth Highlander who was seriously wounded and carried a few yards away. I realized only too well that we were really in It now in right earnest and took good care to keep down in cover, except In one or two occasions when I knelt to obtain the correct range, as I had been shooting at eight hundred yards and made the any further use in the field, I turned in ' remark to the Sergeant that our with Handy Lee. It was a bitterly ''"'"I and windy night and our blankets Ww sopping wet. Owing to the want ' "loepthc wet blankets did not af- ,,('t us. Boon we wer(J ,n the lam, ()f �����. to awake next morning mightily '���'freshed but with a hunger that took a "' of satisfying���not an easy matter whin regiment is on half rations as fu hail been and are now (March ilrd). Monday, February loth, at daybreak ""ml the enemy's trenches deserted, ��tng retired back towards the they ha JMjfW which was three miles off. In unt of the trenches several dead Dickson, I asked him to give me his J storm of ballets burnt upon un, tbe en 'emy'e trenobes simply blazed fire. I charged alongside my color sergeant friend, two men were shot to my right, oue in front of me and one alongside. Yon could have covered ns all witb a tent. At abont ilO yards from the trenobes we got tbe order tn drop to oover. I got behind an ant heap and some bushesand lay tbere till dark, still witb tbe color sergeant. The enemy continned to shoot as the reserve oame np and continued snip, log at ns till darkness pnt nn end tc it all. Tbe slightest move drew tbe enemy's fire. At dark I beard some one calling Canadians and found it was my section sergeant a few yardB away from mo.Htunibliiig among onr scattered forces we met over the rise on the veldt, from tbere we numbed hack to the drift." Speaking to Lee on tbe subject of his first experience nnder fire, and asking bim how he felt, he answered: " I did not feel anything." " Naturally not," I replied, "or yon would be in the hospital." Sandy Lee went on to say, "as far as the bullets are concerned I bave often heard tbem fly over ray head when going along tbe road behind the ranges to the volunteer paiade gronnd at Edinburgh." Hn did not see nny differenoe in bullets passing harmlessly over your head and those tbat barely passed over your head aud wbioh were meant if possible to remain there. On pointing ont the differenoe Sandy oommeoond tbe beginning of an argnment bow bnllots passing safely over you from a target and bailees passing over yon from the enemy were ono and the same thing. Prevlons experiences iu Sandy's theories and arguments oonstrained me to give up the interviewing business witb him anyway, knowing tbat Lee treated fighting as he does most othor matters and tbat is in tbe most philosophical manner and as cool as tbe best man. From the 18tb of February to tbe 27th of February we have oontinned lighting till Cronje and hia 5,000 men surrendered to ns ai you know on the anniversary of Hajnba Hill.

There has beun no understanding tbat The Miner should receive contributions for tho relief of tho Bufferors from the appalling calamity at Hnll. It it bail been so understood, theie is little donbt we shonld bave heen oalled upou tbis morning to make more than the two following acknowledgments. They are i beginning, however, and in our next is-ue it will doubtless be necessary to make a number cf additions to tbe list: 8. Y. Brookman tl.00 Anonymous 6.00 OVER ROSSLAND WAY. For some reason Mr. Heinze is not pleased with Mr. Mackintosh, aud bas determined to cast tbe weight of his influence in favor of his opponent, Mr. Smith Curtis. Although deeply intei- ested in the politics of Montana,where he is endeavoring witb more or lesB suocess to control the representation of tbat State in the Senate at Washington, Mr. Heinze can yet find time to take a hand in Hritish Columbia affairs and to influenoe as far as be can the composition of our next Legislature. At the time of Mr. Mackintosh's nomination and down to as late a period as two or three dnys ago, this American gentleman's paper in Rossland mani tested a very strong disposition to snp- port the candidature of the ex-Governor. Indeed, for tbe first week or two it was most outspoken in its friendship. Rut latterly it bas been oalled off, and all its smiles now go to Mr. Smith Ourtis. As Mr. Heinze was never known to pursue an object that did not have some I'romise at tbe end of it of good to Mr. Heinze himself, it wonld be interesting to know what it is he hopes for from tbe pnblio on- dorsation of tbe Martin Government. Tbere must bo something in it for Heinze, or tbe gentlemnn would not trouble his head with the little matters of our local politics. Wbat is itV Perhaps his paper will let ns into the secret as tbe rampaign progresses. In tbe meantime it may not be unprotlt- abe to consider whether British Columbians cannot regulate their own affairs without the interference of a political boss wbo has done his full share in making Montana one of the nest corrupt States ln the American Union. This Is one of the abnormal conditions cf the situation in the RnsBland Riding. But it is not the only one. We luppis, thore are in every political party a good many Ioobo tJBb, party- for-revenne men. Thero would appear to bo quite n number of that class among the Libeials of tho Rosslnnd constituency. There wbb a meeting of tbem tbe other night, bold at Greenwood. It is snid thnt as many as forty of them were present. By formal resolution tbey endorsed the candidature of Mr. Curtis, but wero very careful to entirely ignore Mr. Ourtis's chief, Mr. Martin. Tbe purpose of this was to give the impression tbat they did not like Mr. Martin, but for petsonnl reasons would support Mr. Martin's Minister of Mines. They know Mr. Martin was not popular, and they hoped to gain by seeming to repudiate him. For ouriosities in politics one requires to make a study of this Provinoe; it is full of them. For a diminutive example, this action of the Greenwood meeting is one of tho most remarkable Of Its myriad ol enriosities. We do not suppose that ever before in the expeii- enoe nf any enlightened conntry an assembly of alleged sane men formally and solemnly resolvod to support a member of a Government whose leader they were ashamed to endorse. If tbey are suoh obildren in politios they should have the grace to keep themselves out of sight. It is impossible to separate Mr. Martin's Minister from Mr. Martin. If these men knew tho most elementary principles of onr system of government, they wonld kuow that uo member of a Cabinet can be invested with a personality tbat will rendor him distinot from the Premier. Mr. Curtis can have no individuality in this election ; he is part and parcel of the Cabinet of whioh Mr. Martin is chief. The Cabinet is what Mr. Martin makes it, and if the head is condemned or rejected bo must bo the whole of it. It is the Government that is ou dial. Mr. Martin formed it, got bis dissolution, and is now appeal ing for publio approval. It is the Government as a whole we mnst judge, and we judge it from its Premier. If Mr. Martin is unworthy of public confidence, tbe whole Government must go. Wa cannot onndemn the head nnd vote that a fragment is worthy, without vory gross absurdity and stnltillcation. Mr. Cnrtis must feel proud of inch supporters, and Mr. Mnrtin will doubtless put on his sardonic grin. This iu from tbe Seattle Post-Intelli- genoer: " A Vancouver reader writes to objeot to the rendering of speoial credit to the Dominion becauBO of bravery shown in battle by troops io- cruited in Canada. Of these he claims thnt not less than SO per cent are of British birth. lu substantiation of this be incloses a clipping giving tbe record of the eight meu who constitute Vancouver's representation iu the supplementary contingent of Strathcona's Horse. Of these eight men, six were born in England, one in Ireland and one in Cauada," The Vnnoouver reader bas a grent deal less wit than he thinks. There may be no speoial credit due at all for these oontingents and supplementaries, and we do not know tbat Canadians are claiming any ; but whatever there is belongs to tbe Dominion, and not to the olouds, or tbe sius, or to tbe sky overhanging it. We are all Canadians here; nnd of the Dominion, whether born in England, ot Ireland,or Canada. There were many Euglisb who went out, brawny,athletic young fellows wbo have knocked about the world a good deal, and who were seleoted trim among tbe thousands tbat volnnteerod beoause of tbeir special fitness for tbe kind of work ahead of tbem. But they went as Canadians, and the Dominion claimed them as oitizene. What matters anyway? We are all whelps ol the same old lion. There is another politioal onrioeity in South Nanaimo. The Liberals tbere have nominated yonng Mr. Mclnnes and have pleged themselves to oppose Premier Martin. That is, tbey oppose tbe Promier and desire to eloot a supporter of his Government. Some more politioal infants on tbe rampage. Their mamas should round them np and give them a good spanking. Mr. Mclnnes is as muoh a Martin candidate as Mr. Martin himself. He conld not be anything else from the very nature of things. He has come up from Ottawa to help save his father, who is on trial u'ith Mr. Martin, and shonld he and tbey win out he will be given his portfolio in the reconstructed Cabinet. Tbe men who condemn Martin and vote for Molnnes are as near idiots as it is safe to get and keep ont of the asylum. At Revelstoke, so it is reported, Mr. Martin said he had approached several members of the Opposition with the view of getting them to join bis Government, and as tbey deolined he waB obliged to fall baok on the Beebes and the Ryders. That was bis excuse for bis freak Cnbinet. At Victoria and New Westminster he gave a different explanation, did he not? Hia story there was tbat he thought it better polioy to go out among the innocent and untainted for his Cabinet material, and in any case, he said, he oould not ask any members of the Legislature to incept a position as advises to His Honor, after tbeir studied insult to him in withdrawing from the Chamber when he oame down to prorogue the House. The two stories do not hang together. $KWWWIWIWflW WE HAVE SOLD 75% OF ALL THE PORTLAND CEMENT, FIRE BRICK and FIRE Used In the Kootenay. ������>������ ���WE ALSO HANDLE- i Steel Mining Rails.

At tho beginning of th;i past woek it looked very much iib though by the end of tho woek three candidates would be in the Held, Mr. Houston, a Conservative, and a Martin mall, Bat there is still only one. Mr. Houston bus Ihe Hold to hiuiself nnd will havo nntil tomorrow night, when n Consorvtilivo ciindidpto will ho chosen nt it convention to be held in Fraternity Roll. Who will be selected Is still nil Open question. Several names hnve been mention."!, among them will Irvino, George Nee- hinds, John Elliot, W. A. Muurtnimld nnd Frank Flotoher. It is likely that all (if theso names will he placed before the convention. If tho field is not then cleared up by withdrawals a ballot will prnhntly bn taken and the candidate chosen in this manner. The Liberals pcoiii to hnve changed their niindH and it is more thnn probable that they will not have n candidate, If this proves to be trap, Dr. G. A. B. Hall will undoubtedly be ohosen. The Liberals believe Dr. Hall to lie one of the strongest men iu tins Hiding, beoanso nf bis good standing in Nelson and bis popularity nniong the miners. He in being pressed hy his friends to miter tho Hold and an Riionnoement from him before the end of the pr.vent week is not an Improbability. In the Martin camp Mr. Charloi Hillyer still holds the fort, and will probably be the nomineo. With Mr. John A. Turner ont of the running Mr. Hillyer seems to be tbe most available man. He ia recognized ns tho lender of Iho Martin forces iu the Nelson Hiding nnd it is claimed by his friends wonld develop considerable strength if be would enter tho field. Mr. Hillyer himself declines to say whether or not he will be a oandidnte. "Yon oan rost assured tbat we will havo a oandidate," said Mr. Hillyer to a Miner man yesterday, "bnt who that enndidato will be we aie not yet preparod to say." "Is there any likelihood of thnt candidate boing one Charles Hillyer?" h3 was asked. "That is a hardly a fair question. You'll have to wait awhile," wus the reply. Witb a Martin oandidate in the field it will be a four cornered fight aud a very warm one. : ;vVVvwwTT^^TV>vv^aaayvvvvvvwvVWvvvTVV>vw ��� Bicyclists and Base Ball Players How about your shoes?

At the banquet tendered to him by Mr. George Kydd nt tne Hume Hotel on Friday evening, he related an incidont which occurred dur- iug the days of the oonstrnolion ol the C.P.K., just at the time the Dominion Government bad appropriated $x,000,- 000 for construction of the road along the Fraser river. "Somo of the Atlantio Coast people wero very much opposed to what thev lislieved thou to be useless expenditure of tuouey," said Mr. Kenny, "and they criticised very severely the notion of the Dominion Government. It was the burning issue at the time and the tiiaoussiou of it took preoedenoe cer everything else. At the time of wbich 1 speak I wns in New York Oity and liad occasion to visit the house of a friend there. I met there a prominent oilizen of Minneapolis and wns introduced as Mr. Kenny from Canada. 'Prom Canada, eh?' said the Western gentleman. 'Then you're one of those wlio aro kicking about the building of the 0. P. R. I oan't understand why you do it. It's going to be the making of yon.' "1 suggested to him," said Mr. Kenny, "that It was going to entail Bomethiug of a hardship upon us when ��e came to pay for tbe road.' "'Pay for il,' ho exclaimed, 'you wont havo to pny for it. It's tbe people the road will bring into the oouu- ���ry that will pay for it; in other words, the people who nre direotly I'onefltted by it. Yon have nothing to lose.' "I called his attention then to the valuable coal deposits of Nova Scotia and snpgoated that they deserved more attention than tho undeveloped western country," oontinned Mr. Kenny. "'Coal deposits,' he exclaimed, wl>7 jour coal deposits oan't hold a dandle to the wonderful ooal deposits Shout Nanaimo, in British Ooiumbia. There in enough coal there to supply th" entire Paoiflo Const.' "Then I nriolia of our lumter inter- e"tH," said Mr Kenny, "and again be "plied qnickly:" 'You're lumber interests cannot be compared with those of British Colum bia. With a railroad into. British Columbia yon will begin th�� manufacture of lumber wbioh will find a market in all parts of the earth. Talk abont lnmber, why sir, tbere is no lnmber in tbe world like that in British Columbia. It's the grandest yon ever saw.' "With considerable temerity," continued Mr. Kenny, "I ventured to mention onr fishing interests." "'Why yon people of tbe Atlantio don't krow anything about fish,' exclaimed my newly found friend.

"'And in addition to all this,'he continued, 'the climate of British Columbia is a-much better climate than that of Nova Sooia.' "My American cousin was certainly enteraining," oontinned Mr. Kenny, "and while I could uot admit the strict accuracy of hia comparison between the Atlantio and the Paoific Provinces of our Dominion, yet I was glad to hear bis eulogium of British Oolnmbia, and tbat tbe cost of the construction of the great transcontinental railway was to be paid by the people it would bring into Canadn. Some of tho statements of my Minneapolis friend have been verified. Sailing ships in which I hnve been interested have carried cargoes of Frasor River salmon to London and have been loaded with lnmber at Vancouver for China and Japan and South America and one lor London. He was right also in his estimate of tin unportanca of tbe C.P.R to Canada, for the construction of that road baa done more to attraot tbe attention of the people of England and of the people of the United States than even the confederacy of tbe British America Provinces. It baa made n nation of us. All the advantages whioh British Oolnmbia possessed when these statements were made by my American friend she retains today. You have now two C. P. Railways traversing yonr Provinoe from east to west, and in addition yon bave yonr recently discovered mineral deposits of incalculable value, and wbioh bid fair to make your Provinoe one of tbe most wealthy countries of the world." Mr. Konny, in conclusion, raferreed to the advantages Nelson possessed for the conduct of a large distributing trade, with two railways converging here and its large and economical water transportation. season.

Tbey are extensions of the Red Line group. Peterborough is going ahead with a rush, town lots continue to advance and buildings are going up in all directions. Peterborough will undoubtedly beoome a metropolis of East Kootenay within a very abort space of time, in faot the town is going ahead with leaps and hounds.
