Drive Yet to Be Built Rhodes' Last Resting Place. to Successful Plaster Cast Statesman's Features Taken. of London, March 2a.���Iu a despatch from Capetown, tha correspondent lm-e of the Daily Mail says that Cecil Rhodes selected the spot where he do3ired to be buried and instructed an architect about the memorial to be erected when he last visited Matopto hills. The place of burial is boneath a natural cairn of giant boulders, on a kopje adjoining that on wnich Major Wilson's liltic force made its last stand. The memorial to be erected will be a prominent feature of tbe striking landscape. The Jute of the interment of the body o! Mr. Rhodes is doubtful, says the oorrrespondent, owing to the necessity of tlie construction of a special carriage load from Uuluwayo. At pesent there is nothing more than a bridle path. Work on this road has already been begun, but its completion will require one month. The correspondent says that a death mask has heen successfully taken. The features whieh were distorted as a result of his malady, resumed their reposeful dignity in death. Aftor the autopsy which revealed au extensive aneurism of the heart, tlie remains were placed in a coilin and conveyed this morning to Groote Sehuur. The body has since b^ei; placed in a shell. It was found impossible to embalm it, owing to the operations necessitated by the attacks of dropsy. The body will lie in the hull at Groote Sehuur until next Monday in order to enable the public to viow it. It will be brought to Capetown next Tuesday. Th executors of thc late Mr. Rhoues are Lord Rosebery, Earl (Jrey, Alfred Ileit, a director of the llritish Chartered South Africa Co., Mr. Michel, B. A. Haw, K.

Capetown, Marob 27.���The hearing ot the charges against Princess Radziwill, who is accused of forgery in connection with notes purporting to have been signed by Cecil Rhodes was resumed today. The princess, who waa apparently in good health and spirits testified in her own behalf. Sho was committed for trial, Bail in ��2,500 was furnished by her ana two securities, The evidence submitted hy the prosecution showed that last August Princess Radziwill received two telegrams from Capetown to Kenil- worth, Cape Colony, purporting to be from B. A. Hawksley, counsel for the British Chartered South African company. The princess subsequently bribed a junior clerk in the telegraph oflice at Kenilworth for 10s. to insert "London" as the office of origin of these telegrams. She then showed tbe messages to a firm of attorneys as cablegrams from the solciitor of Mr. Rhodes. This was done with the object of securing a low rate of discount on a bill for ��2,000. Mr. Rhodes cabled advertisements to South African papers in which he repudiated his signatures to all bills but Princess Radziwill afterwards attempted to discount notes for ��3,000 and ��6,000. The indictment against the prineess includes 17 counts for forgery and fraud and a charge of contravention of the Telegraph Act.

Berlin, March 27.���The Associated Press has high auttioriiy for saying that the government of the United States has been sounding Germany as to bow far the latter country would go toward maintaining tbe "open dour" in China. This inquiry wbioh was initiated prior to the trip of Admiral Prince Henry ol Prussia to the United States was to learn, for the guidance of Washington, whethei in any event Germany would take a resolute stand foe equal trade oppor tunities. This inquiry resulted in obtaining from the very head of the German empire, the impression that Germany while willing to take an identioal attitude with the otber powers for lhe open door,would not in a final instance oppose something that Russia really desired. This is the first principle of Germany's exterior polioy and it applies fully to the east Asiatic question. VENEZUELAN TROUBLES. Reported Government Victory���Bolivar Without a Coaling Port.

The mine is now shipping a car a day. Five four-horse teams aro engaged in hauliug the ore from the end of the tramway to the Molly Gibson landing. Tho roud is still a little soft. Shipments will be kept up indefinitely as there are large reserves of ore in the mine. Tbe ore, nine is being shipped, comes principally from above No. 5 level at u vertical depth of 500 feet. This paper announced last week,says the Midway Advance, that a deal bad been made whereby tho Riversido group had been bonded. Full particulars since received show that a deal involving the sale ol two groups of mineral claims, situate near Gieen- wood and Rock Cicek respectively, had been closed. The price lias not been made publio, but it is generally understood to be about $50,000 in all and that a large cash payment has already been made. The purchasers are Stephen H. .lonos and S. Ely of Duluth, Minnesota, for themselves and other capitalists with whom they are associated in tbis enterprise. The properties they havo purchased aro tho Arlington-Bums group, iu the Dead- wood camp, about two miles Irom Greenwood, and tbe Riverside group, on the main Kettle river, a*-out four miles above the confluence of Rock creek with that stream.

On the ovening of Wednesday a messenger came in from Twohey's camp, about fourteen miles south from Elko, bringing tbe information that ln an explosion two men bad been killed aud that a third was missing. Be had been dispatched immediately to take tbat information to Elko and to notify the coroner. One of tne men was Mr. Fawcett and the name of the other was Brown, but nothing further re- garding him was known. Cluis O'Donnel, agent tor Twohey Bros, at Elko, had sent the news to Nelson. When Mr. McLean left they were hourly expecting the remains to arrive at the town. Mr. McLean stated that Mr.Fawcett had gone to Elko to be paid for a team of horses that he bud sold to the contractors- and had been required to wait there for a few days to get matters settled. It was probable that he had found it necessary to go out to the camp and while thore baa decided to go to work lor a few days. The work a being carried on night and day and where the accident occurred he understood it to be a big earth cut. At a sawmill near the Elk river crossing a man bad been killed on Tuesday and an inquest was being held when the messenger arrived with the news of the disaster at Twohey's camp. PLANS OF SULLIVAN CO. Work on the Smelter and Mine���The Lead Refinery. George W. Hull, president and general manager of the Sullivan Group Mining Co., was ai, the 1 hair last evening en route from Spokane to Marysville, East Kootenay Mr. Hull has been a successful business man in other lines and ahuut a year since he became connected with the Sullivan Mining Co. When it wns decided to construct the smelter he assisted materially in inducing eastern capital to provide the funds ne'ded. In order to fit himself for taking an active purt in the conduct of tbe affairs of the company he travelled for six months, visiting the mines and reduction plants of the United Stales in order to learn how they wero operated. Finally he was elected president and business manager of the Sullivan Co. In speaking about the Sullivan mine yesterday he stated that a small force is engaged in preliminary work at present and that it was the intention on May 1st to put a good sized force to work for the purpose of taking out ore, developing, etc. Woik is also to be pushed on the smelter plant of thc company at Marysville Thoro was a temporary suspension of operations owing to inferior brick. lt, will bo July 1st he said before the plant will be ready to bo blown in. Tbe smelter structure 18 roofed and from now on tho progress of the work should be lapid. In relation to the lead refinery Mr. Hull stated that tho plans for the refinery are now being pro- pared and the task of building it will be oommenced just as soon as the smelter plant begins operation. Tho load reflnery will be ready for operation by the timo a sufficient stock of bullion is on hand to keep it in operation. Later on tho intention is to put up load corroding works to manufacture whito lead, Mr. Hull says that tho Sullivan, St, Eugene And North Star mines aro a trio of groat load producers and If they aro each operated up to anywhere near thc limit of their capacity tbey should bo able to produce more than Bullloiont oro to keep thu Sullivan smeltor and tho Sullivan lead rollnery in operation the year round.

Irving and Solous, City Engineer MeCulloch, and E. C. Davison, visited the site of tbe city's park allowance up the valley of Cottonwood creek with a view of deciding on its adaptability as a raoo track. All were most favorably impressed and it ia likely that the project will be pushed ahead at onco. There are several Chinamen now squatting there who have a considerable portion of tho land cleared up and much of it is level and with very little work it is thuught that enough could be fixed up for a race track and recreation ground. If tho matter is taken is hand at onoe, as is likely, the track oould be ready by the time tho regatta will come off, and if the two oould be run consecutively there is nc doub t hut that with the advertising which will be done by the Tourist association that large crowds would be attracted here for a woek. The celebrations of tbe first of July thero has always been in competition with the attractions at a number of other points, besides Dominion Day comes so near tho Fourth of July that it is almost Impossible to get Amerioan visitors. With tbe regatta coming, as it does, near the end of July when there will be nothing special going on at any of the surrounding townB it should be nossible with horse races and athletic games as well, to give a list of attractions that would draw all classes. A number of responsible parties have expressed their willingness to baok up the race track proposition, and it should prove a very good thing for the city. The grounds would also be much more suitable for athletic purposes than the present location. As was mentioned in The Miner before, the putting in of a race traca hero would complete a racing circuit aud this would be the means of bringing far better horses into the country than anyone of the towns ouuld obtain while acting separately in the matter. l_ East Kootenay Bnd the Boundary country especially, the interest in this line of amusement Is very koen and Nelson would soon become a centre from its ounvonient position and equal distance from both districts. To the south alsu thore are a number of good horses available tor races and the race truck would be well patronised. THE MINER'S WANT PAGE.

MaoNeill after lunch yesterday. The full court were not long in reaching a decision on the points argued.

The effect ot this is that the appeal agaibst the injunctions is dismissed and the matter still stands to restrain the V. V, and E. from pushing their construction acioes thc plaintiff's lands.
