' ..^ .s-l.__��--��� ' Daily Edition No. 1254 Nelson, British Columbia, Friday, January 31, 1902 Eleventh Year A SPLENDID KENDITION Nelson Amateurs Successfully Produce High Class Oratorio. Soloists. Chorus and Orchestra Win Unstinted Praise. At the Opera Douse last evening another triumph was scored for the Nelaoc amateurs, under the clever leadership of Herr Steiner, in the production of Rossini's masterpiece, si nl, it Mater, and selections from other oratorios. Many fears had been expressed previous to the performance that in attempting such difficult music it would be Impossible to carry the affair off with the success attained on previous entertainments, but this was fortunately unfounded. Nelson audiences have the reputation of being verv critical in the vigorous applause and unanimous expressions of approval heard after the performance last night showed that thov car also be as strongly appreciative of merit. Herr Steiner and Mr. Geo. Kydd especially deserve all credit for their successful carrying through of the enterpiree, as alBO the ladies and gentlemen who so ably assisted in tbe musical part of tbe programme. Mr. W. A. Jowett as accompanist, was very good, as also the members ot tho orchestra who played as one instrument, the harmony throughout being excellent. ��� The soprano solo by Mis. Parry, Ave Maria, was probably the best selection of the evening, and the audience were not satisfied until nn encore was given. Mrs. Hannington in both the solos and part songs in which she took part was warmly applauded. Her voice is splendidly adopted for sacred music and in the cavatina, I Will Sing of Thy Great Mercy, waa heard to great advantage and her future appearances will always be looked forward to with pleasure by the music lovers of the city. Mr. George Kydd has a tenor voice of great strength and range and besides being largely instrumental in getting the concert np and canying it through, contributed In no small measure to the programme. Mr. E. Grizelle, who took the bass solo part is well known in thc eity nnd last evening sang his selections very creditably. Great regret will be felt in the announcement that llerr Steiner is leaving Nelson on Baturday for Spokane. Nelson has been greatly Indebted to this gentleman fur his able conducting of so many high class musical entertainments and bis leaving the city will create a gap in musical circles that it will be hard to fill. All will hope that at some date in the near future he will again return. Following is the programme given lust evening: Overture, I'riost March, from Magio Flnto (Mozart), Orchestra; Oratorio, titabnt Mater (Rossini).

Washington, Jan. 30.���The committee on arrangements for the reception ot Prince Henry held another meeting today and completed the itinerary of the western and southern trip whioh will be taken by the prince.

Others are promised today, and this winter will be known in the future as the one in whieh the ice I boat llrst made its appearance in the Kootenays. At a meeting of the directors of the Cariboo (Camp McKinncy) Mining Company, held on Wednesday a dividend of 1 1-2 cents per bhare was declared. Thia is tbe first dividend paid since October, 1U00, out previous to tbat time ;$4'.i8.0"8 in dividends were paid. A strike of a body of good ore was recently made in the Cariboo mine and this together with the dividend has caused an increased demand for tbe stock. Advices from London show that there is a growing and healthy activity in South African mining stocks. The reports form the Transvaal reveal tbat it will not he long before mining is in full operation tbere again. Tne general tenor of the war news is encouraging and there is a buyoant and well sustained tecling that tbe war will soon be brought to a close anil this is reflected in the increased desire to speculate in Rand mining sbares. Colonel Ridpath, of Spokane, formerly of tbe Le Roi Mining company, but now of tbe Sullivan Group Mining companv, of East Kootenay, has announced himself as a candidate for Congress in the Eastern Washington congressional district.

As ne is a progressive and popular citizen of Washington be should be elected congressman and doubltess will be. The Canadian Paoiflo railway has nnder favorable consideration a transcontinental flyer that will make the trip from Montreal to Vancouver in tbree days. The run from New York tu Montreal can be made in half a clay and if tlio flyer is put on the distance between New York and Vancouver can be traversed in tbree and a half days The distance between Montreal and Vancouver is 2,006 miles and to cover it in 72 hours the train would have to travel at the rate of 40 1-3 rrilos an hour. The proposed train would handle no local traffio. The big Canadian railway is evidently waking up, as a fast train like tbis would attract a number of passengers. HUDSON'S BAY COMPANY.

The merchants could reduce this evil to the minimum by advertising more in the local papers. The big houses tell the peoplo all over the country what tbey have for sale principally through advertising in the papers. Many of the local merchants, without an effort in the same direction, allow the mail order houses to take considerable trade away from them, The way to make it unprofitable lor the mail order man la to imitate their methods and tell the public by means of advertising what you have for salo and wlint you aro willing to sell for. Tho president of the Canadian l'ai'ific railway has asked the Dominion government to approve of a resolution authorizing the board of dime- tors, with tho sanction of the shareholders, to increase the capital stock ul the company to the extent of $20,- 000,000. The money is to be devoted to new rolling stock, double tracking, new plants for the construction of rolling stock, now elevators, improvement of terminals and miscellaneous improvmerrts. The government, it is stated, is quite willing to approve of the issne of tlio stock. Tbe growth of the Northwest, including the increase in the mining Industry and the Immense crop of last year in Manitoba, has made it imperative that facilities oi ��the toad bo Increased to meet it.

Jackson, of the Contaot Consolidated Oold Mines, limited, is in wwn from Burnt Basin district,where the company has nine claims, aggregating 300 acres. Operations are being carried on on the No. 1 vein, which was formerly known as tho Mother Lode. A tunnel has been run ;��� for 240 feet and the vein out at a vertical depth of 200 feet. The ledge has been drifted on for 50 leet and Is frsirn four to five feet wide. There is , streak 18 inches wide which averages $40 to the ton, while the remainder of the ledge, which is of concentrating ore, averages about $13 to the ton. The values aro all in gold and silver, as there is no copper nor lead. The properties are situated by way of trail, about two miles from the Columbia and Western railway and tbe intention is to construct a wagon road and further on a tramway. With a tramway 2,000 leet in length the ore could be put in the oars on the Columbia and Western track. The development of the properties has been steady since last June, when they were taken over by the Contact company and there are funds enough in the treasury to last for another jear. The management is pleased with the condition of the property and feels confident that a valuable mine will result with sufficient development. Mr, Jackson leaves today for Sandon, where he is Interested in the Krie Mining company, whose property consisting ol two claims, is situate between the Last Chance and the Payne on Payne mountain. A meeting, he says, is to be held at Sandon next week for the purposo of deciding on the question of resumption of woik on the properties of the company. One ot the claims in only 600 feet Irom tho Galena olaim on which the ore was struck in the Last Chance tunnel. Henry Roy, managing direotor, and II.Hiehardson,secretary,of tbe London Consolidated Gold Fields Exploration company, which is operating the Silver Hill, wore at the Phair yester day. They came in from the mine and were en routo for Rossland. They report that tho tramway, whioh has just been finished, is working in a must satisfactory manner and that from now on the delivery of ore to the Trail smelter will be rapidly pushed. They left for Rossland on the afternoon train. The New Denver Ledge says that the crosscut tunnol started some weeks ago on the Neepawa to tap the ledge from a quarter where it -,-ould bo aafe Irom snowslides, broae into the ore a day or two since, and arrangements are now being made to commence regular shipments.

The statement was made in a dispatch from Montreal that the Canada Paint company intended to begin tbe corroding of lead to be purohaeed Irom the refinery now in course of erection at Trail. The announcement had been made rather prematurely as in an interview published in tho Mon (real Star, Root,Munro, managing direotor of the Canada Paint company, states that with a readjustded tariff the erection of suoh an enterprise iB altogether probable, but that, under present conditions, the venture would not be considered favorably. Mr. Munro, in a communication upon the subject says; "With reference to the roported establishment of a new Industry In Canada, for the manufacture of red and white lead, I have to say that neither my oompany, nor the Paint association, has made arrangements fur Hiieh industry. I have little doubt that the industry will be set on foot in Canada,as tho natural devclopmen <>I the refining of pig load, "I have no denfiite Information 'rem Trail, II. C., as to when thoir refinery will bo open, but even the completion of a refinery will-not induce capitalists to invest in the manufacture of white and red lead, which require-* expensive plants, until flrat the tariff should huve been adjusted bo as to make the industry possible. ''At tins moment the duty on pig lead is 15 per cent., on white lead 5 percent., whilo litharge ib free. It Is plain, therofore, that there is no room 'or capital until the fiscal conditions ore adjusted. That biing done all Canadians will welcume the introduc- Hon of an industry which will relieve the existing anomaly of the lead we produco being all shipped out of the oountry while all we oonsutne is Imported. "The statement to which you call my attention ls, therefore,premature." In answer to questions, Mr. Munro *aid tint if the tariff ia adjusted, dur- nURLING.

Ibere are several dangerous spots in tho river, where the ice is spongy, and there are others wiiero there is open water. Yesterday a young lady] George Neclands leaves today for a short visit to Vanconver. O. Morrow, a well known business man of Vancouver, is a guest at the Hume. James M. Garahouse, steward of the C. P. U. lako steamer A tbubasca. is a guent at the I hair. Both the Kaslo and the International have been Uid up for a short time, the Kokanee carrying tbe passengers and handling the freight for both the C. 1*. R. aid thc Kaslo and Slocan line. This arrangement will probably be kept up while the lake continues frozen. No ore is being brought out hy way of Kaslo at present, but is being kept at the mines. Mrs. Roborts, of Robert's ranch, two and a half miles up the lake, has a force of men cutting ice on tho lake front. Tbe ice is six inches thick where there was open water on Sunday. The ice is of excellent quality. There is no necessity for going to Mirror lake for a supply of ice this year as there is plenty of a good meichautable quality at home. During the time that the C. P. R. steamers come only as far as Procter the company has provided for a service on Monday's, Wednesdays and Fridays for all Kootenay lake points south from Procter as far as Koaknee creek. The train leaving Nelson depot at 7.15 a. m. will connect at Procter with the steamer Kokanee taking that run visiting the points named. Pas- sengirs can return the same day, arriving in Nelson at 0.15 p. m. The ice on the lake is now over six inches thick, except near the bluff opposite the city where Boveral small patches of open water have appeared. Opposite Nelson the lake is supposed to bo about 150 feet deep and as there is a number of rocky ledges crossing this deep water the current striking them is turned upwards so that the warmer water from below is brought to the surface with the result that unless in zero weather the ice along tha line of current never la6ts long. There was a meeting held yesterday morning at tho Itodega, of those interested in the project of having horse racing on the ice of tbe lake and after a considerable discussiun of ways and means it was decided that it was practicable to carry out the idea. A com- mitteo was appointed to interview various ones who would likely help the scheme along with subscriptions towards purses to be given, and hy tonight definite plans will piobably have been arringed. The remains of tbe late A. 13. Gray havo ben taken to Bunyan and Co.'s undertaking parlors and will be for warded tonight by the C.P.R. leaving at 0.40 p.m. Mr. Gray was a member of the I.O.O.F. of Victoria, and at the request of the lodge there the local lodge of Odd Fellows takes chargo of the remains while here. It was Mr. Gray's expressed wish that he should be buried in Victoria. Miss Ethel Gray, bis daughter arrived last evening from Ymir and will accompany her father's remains to Victoria. There is a great deal of planning of iceboats being dono iu tbe city at the present time aud if thu ice continues good till tho last of the week some new and startling designs in ice-boats will be seen skimming along next Sunday, providing there is wind enough to move them. Messrs. Rolf, O'Brien nnd Hanltain were the Brst 11 got one ready and in a boat ol their own design uttracted a gre��t deal of attention on tbe ice yesterday afternoon. If cold snaps such as the present one could be depended on to come every winter there ia no doubt that ice-boating would speedily be a favorite sport here. As a rule, however, there is very little wind around Nelson and to meet the conditions successfully a boat would have to be built on tho very best models, and these would cost from J150 up. With the probability of there not being another similar freeze up of tho lake a committee report recommending tbat an application be made to tho leeisla- ture for legislation e-npowering the oity to construct lines for bringing electric energy to Toronto. There are a few fellows who never drauk a cream gin fizz on a hot day and nave never examined tbo Wallace* Milier Co.'s clothing and sh^e stock. You are back numbers fellows. A NOVEL SCHEME. It is Proposed to Dredge A Cbsiinel For Thi> Mainland..t. Vancouver, Jan. 30.���A novel snp- gestion has been mode in connection with tbe proposed Hunting of the steamer Mainlander. which plies between tbis city and Seattle, and which was pile up high and dry on a sandy beach of Sinclair Island last Friday morning. Tbe steamer is some distance up on the beadl��� in 'act, within a few feet of the fence of a farm on the island The suggestion is made liy marine men to dredge out a channel from deep water up to the vessel, and float her out. The government suction dredge King Edward is'on this side of the line, and another large suction dredge is in Seattle harbor, either of wbich could be used foi the purpose named. It is suggested that a channel twenty feet wide and deep enough to float the vessel could be made in a couple ol days, which would be cheaper and more expeditious and safer of use. than the practice of the usual nietho.l of skidding out the ship after raising her on jacks, and uuner- going tbe possibility of straining her. Channels have frequently been deepened for sailing vessels, where it was certain that nothing but sand and silt was en the bottom, by running a steamer's propel lor over bars, and thus making a deep enough watercourse for a large ship.

It is Quartz and Not Planer That Has Heen Found. Vanooaver, Jan. 30.���Oold has certainly been discovered north of Sumas on the Canadian side of the boundary line, but it is not deposited in the form statod in the reports which reached this city, According to statements made yesterday by people who arrived from the boundary line ois- coveries of placer gold bad been made by a man named William Davis at, a point about four and a half miles north of Numns. Mr. Michael Fitzpatrick of this city, who hns just returned from Sutuas district, says that tbeie is no authentic information there about placer finds, but there is every reason to believe the accounts given nf the finding of free milling gold ore. Mr. Fitz- partick Btates tbat Wm. Davis, the miner who made the original find, | Bank a small prospecting hole on the ledge which he located, and from among the decomposeo surface quartz which he took out he secured assays running over $500 to the ton. Upon the find being made public by Davis seme twenty or moro men Hocked to the location, and it is reported that other stakings took place. A number of men are said to have gone from Chilliwack to the district, aud -.vhen Mr. Fitspatrick wns at Snams there existed no little excitement. Fiom tho latest news obtainable this morning it appears that the report of placer gold being found cntne from the report of the original finding of quartz, und as a placer discovery is in this respect inaccurate, PADEREWSKI RETURNS.

TIIE REAL CAUSE OF DANDRUFF AND BALDNESS. At ono time dandruff was attributed to be the result of a feverish condition of the scalp, which threw off the dried cuticle in scales. Professor Unna, Hamburg, Germany, noted authority on skin diseases, explodes this theory aud says that dandruff is a germ disease. This germ is really responsible for the dandruff and for so many bald heads. It can be cured if it is gone about in the right way The right way, of course, and the only way, is to kill the germ.

New York, Jan. 30.���"The killing of men under the name of war," wrote Andrew Carnegie, "in a letter which was read at the P. F. Cclller dinner at the Metropolitan club lust night, "is the foulest blot npon humanity todny. We see umoh discussion ns to what In or what is not pormissiblfl under civih/.ed warfare.

We b��ve made little progress in tho path ot genuine civilization as long as we can find no better snbtl- tute for the settling of International diputes than the brutal murder of ono nnother. As a general proposition lt may be stated that the method whieh refuse peaceful arbitration is responsible for tho war which ensues. Britain, having done this, in her dispute with the Transvaal republic is responsible for the oxtcrm'nation ol brave and heioic Christian people. "But let us also remember that we are today engaged In shooting down Chmtian Filipinos whose only crime is thut they believe in tho Declaration of Independence.
