Nelson, British Columbia, Saturday, September 28, 1901 Eleventh Year A THOUSAND MEN AT WORK Construction of the Republic- Grand Forks Road Is Being Pushed. It Will Be Completed and Ready for Business on Jan. 1st. (SPECIAL TO THlil MINER.) (hand Forks, II.C Sept. 27.���Nearly one thousand men nro employed on the construction of tlie liepublic & Grand Forks railway, connecting this smelting centre with the well known Co 1 v11 le reservation mining camp. Alicad.v ono third of the grading has been completed and the end of tho present year will witness the road in operation. Traeklaying at this end of the line will bo commenced within a tortnigbt. This reoord is regarded us noteworthy, considering that the lirst sod was not turned until June 5th and that the entire work was not under contraot until August let���lesi- than two months ago. The road will be I.'i miles in length. The necesnity of establishing railway communication betwoen Urand Forks and Ropublio has long been obvious, more especially since the failure of the various mothoda for treating tho liepublic ores at homo by various adaptations of the cyanide process. Tho Republic mine and Mountain Lion mills are both closed down, while a third mill in its unfinished stngo stands as a monument to the folly of capitalists who disregarded tho opinion oxperts that by smelting alone could tbo ores of the camp yield the highest returns at the minimum of cost. There was tbe further dictum of the metallurgists, since oonlirmod by actual experiment, that ideal results could bu se clued hy blending the silicious ores of Knpiililie with the sulphide ores of the Boundary company. The Granby smelter found the mineral from Republic so desirable tbat the projeot of a railway between the two points met with its hearty support; in fact, the management at one time contemplated building the line itself, only abandoning the idea when a charter had been secured by other parties, During the week your correspondent drove over the ronto and was greatly impressed with the activity prevailing from one end to the other. Tbo northern tenninns will be situated in the Ruckle's addition of (Iraud Forks,just Routh of the city limits. After crossing tlie C. P. R. tracks the railway following an nir line traverses thc Kettle river valley soutli to the International boundary, less than four miles distant. Here it crosses the Kettle river and passing through the village of Nelson, "Wash., aBcends thc west bank of tho river ovor nine miles to a point one and a half miles north of Curlew, Wnsh., and recrosses the Kettle on a or,-foot Howe truss. Leaving tho river at Curlew on its southeasterly descent from Canada,tbe road continues south through the wide and open valloy of Curlew oreek to tho nortli ond of Curlow lako. Thence following thc west shoro of that beautiful sheet of water the railway begins the nine mile ascent in a southwesterly direction to the summit which is overcome through a natural pass. Two miles beyond on the other slopo the line taps the Tom Thumb mino before roaehing tbe Mountain Lion. Then tbe railway swings round thc mountain from that point along Ornnite crook to the Morning Olory and CJnilp going north up Eureka creek and passing the San Poll, Bodlc, Hlack Tail, Lone l'ino, Silver Dollar, Knob Hill and other well known properties. Tlio Republic depot will be located on the Ida mineral claim in the old town. From an engineering standpoint the ruute has been admirably choson and woll located. It is the most direct route that could he secured and withal Is characterized by tho absence of any steep grades or sharp curves. Ini'eed the only heavy work encountered was at Trout lako near the summit whero considerable rock cutting waB found to be necessary and earth tion work is being rushed in due to Charles Ferguson, a veteran Spokane contractor with an experience of over twenty years in building railways. Mr. Ferguson (Ferguson Sc Co.) was awarded the entire oontract on August 1st and subsetpiently ro-let considerable portions of it in small contracts, the largest being soctionB not exceeding four miles long. Ily adopting this method it was found that better and quicker results could be achieved. The grading from (Irand Forks to the International boundary has beeu completed ; likewise tbe eleven miles separating Nelson, Wash., from Curlew, Wash., with tho exception ot two or three gapB aggregating four or five miles, Good progress is being mado on tbe rock work on each sido of the summit. Tho dominating spirit of this enterprise is Tracy VV. Holland, of Grand Forks. Mr. Holland was the first to perceive tho oommercial possibilities of a railway between the Amerioan camp and the Canadian smeltiug centre and lo its accomplishment, soon to be realized, he has devoted bis time and energies with rare singleness of purpose during the past fourteen months. To arrange the preliminaries was no easy task. In August, 1900, he obtained from the British Columbia legislature after a hard teg- islative light and by a majority of one vote, a charter authorizing the construction of a railway from Orand Forks to the international bonndary. There yet remained to be secured the authority for building the American section betwoen the frontier and Republic. As the Colvillo Indian reservation is administered by the United States government, Mr. Holland found it necessary to pay half a dozen visits to Washington. Although the obstacles loaned insuperable, Mr. Holland with grim and praiseworthy determination stuck to his task. Ho had to overcome various objections and provide guarantees tbat tbe existing rights of tbe Indians would be safeguarded and that ample compensation for traversing Indian allotments would be allowed. The zeal of the interior and Indian departments for the welfaro of its dusky world could not be more scrupulous; and one by one objection after objootion was ovei- come, and tin ally tho order authorizing the uuilding of the railway was signed by E. A. Hitcbcuok, seeretary of the interior. At this writing every Indian claim for damages bas been adjusted and paid for, and that, too, at the appruisement of officials of the United States government. After tbe organization of the Republic Sc Orand Forks railway company, Mr. Holland became its president and general manager. His eastern associates, who raised the capital for building the road, include Hon. J. E. Stratton, provincial secretary of Ontario; F. M. Holland, general manager of the Dominion Permanent Loan Co., and T. P. Coffey, manager of the Trust & Guarantee Co., Toronto. The railway will be in operation by New Year, at the latest. It bas entered into a contract with the Republic mine owners for the carnage of ure to the Granby smelter at Orand Forks. Aocording to contract, the freight and treatment rate must not exceed 80.50 per too. At the outset a tonnage of 500 tons daily is expected. Within a yoar the tonnage will likely be doubled as railway faciltics will tend to stimulate development work. A large subsidiary tonnage will be obtained from various properties contiguous to tbo railway at various places, such as Lambert creek, Lafleur mountain, etc. A MANIAC'S FRIGHTFUL DEED. Cleveland, Ohio., Sept. _7.���The small town of Little York station on the Akron, Bedford & Cleveland rail way, 15 miles south of this city, was the scene of a terrible tragedy oarly today. Mrs. Perry Curtis, the wifo of a farmer, 38 years of age, drowned her four small children in a well and then committed suicide by jumping in herself. Ber husband, Perry Curtis, was in Cleveland and knew nothing of the tragedy until he rend the account of it in the newspapers. Mrs. Curtis was released from the Massil- lon insane asylum as cured and it was thought when she was still suffering a relapse that she committed tbe terriole deed. The body of Harold, the oldest boy, was terribly bruised. He had evidently made a desperate struggle to save himself. CROSSING THE PRAIRIES Royal Party Welcomed by Regina and Mcose- Jaw.

T., Sept.27.��� The Duke and Duohess of Yoik spent today on the great plains of western Canada, and by tomorrow night will be in the Rockies. They rode over miles of snow covered wheat farms and prairie in an air that had tho chill of winter and when they left their train for the reception at Retina, the capitol of the Northwest Territories, were muffled in furs. Thoir special train left the proivnee of Manitoba during the night and swung into the territory of Assiniboia. Regardless ot weather tho people gathered at the stations to offer a weiccmo of western cheers to thu Royal guests. The widely separated stations were all (lag-draped and each town mado liberal display of bunting As tne trains proceeded westward and increasing number of Indians appeared in the crowds at the stations. Regina was roauhed at noon and a stop of three hours was mado there. Lientenat-Governor Forget and Premier Haultain and the delegation of ollicers and loading ciiizens met the train and escorted by a detachment of tho famous Mounted Polioe, the Duke and Duchess, the Count. 6S of Minto. Premier Laurier, and a number of tlie staff ^ were drivun to Government house. In replying to the addresses presented to him, the Duke said in part: "Contrasting the froe, healthy and use.'ul lifo which is found in the country with the narrow and too of ten unwholesome existence of thousands in our great cities at home, one cannot help wishing that the prospects here offered were more widely known and more freely taken advantage of." Service medals were presented to 25 men who had fought in South Africa, and as the line filed past the Duke uf Roxborougb and Viscount Crichton, recognized in Sergeant Major Church, of the Mounted Police, an old soldier and friend of the Royal Horse OuardB. As he handed Church his medal the Duke of Cornwall congratulated hnn on his long service. The party lunched nt Government house, and at 3 o'olook drove back to the train, At the station the Duke called Sergeant Richardson from the ranks of the Mounted Police and congratulated him on winning tho Victoria Cross In South Africa. Richardson served with the Strathcona horse, and rescued a wounded comrade under heavy fire. Tho Duke also praised the Mounted Pulico on tbeir efficiency aud excellent work. The town of Moosejaw was reached at 5 o'clock and the Royal special inailii a brief stay. The city formally welcomed tho Duke and Duchess and the school children sang patriotic songs. A stop of several hours will be made touioriow at Calgary. WILL NOT CHANGE CARS.

Britain Accused of Violating tlie Rules of Civilized Warfare. New York, Sept. 27.���Chas. D. Pierce, representative iu the United States of Orange Free .State, has received a copy of the appeal made by the Boers to tho administration in- eouncii of tbo permanent eourt of arbitration at The Hngno. Tho appeal whioh is dated, The Hague, Sept. 10, aays in part: Now that this war has gone on for nearly two years without any prospects of an end thereto,except in the way only recently acknowledged as being the most cllica- cions, and at the same time the most equitable, means of deciding international differences, to-wit: Submission to arbitration, the desirability mutually for euch a peaceful termination cannot but become more and more acknowledged. The statos represented by tiie undersigned, therefore, consider that thoy should repeal the proposal already made by them before the war, but rejected by England, namely, to submit to arbitration the settlement of differences whioh eaue rise to the wai ; in this way, particu larly, however, in view of the question whether England is right in alleging tbat action was taken by the republics which had for its object the suppression of the English element and its expulsion from South Africa, and generally, whether the repntlios have made themselves guilty of any act which, according to inlernation ally recognized principles, would give England the right to deprive them of thoir independence. The undersigned moreover, allege that England already, at the outbreak of the war, commenced and has ever since continued to act in contravention of the rules of war between civilized powers generally, aud also by England herself, acknowledged, and as solemnly confirmed by The Hague convention of 20th July, 1800, concerning the laws and usages of war by land, and more particularly in contravention of foreign articles of said rules, to wit: 4, 5, 7, 14, 15, 10, Ed. 3 (and thereof the following subsections C, D, E, F, G,) 25, 38, 32, 44, 45, lli, 47, 50, 58, 53, and 55, whilst England has more* ovei quite recently by proclamation issued by Field Marshal Lord Kitchener at Pretoria, and dated the 5th day of August, 1901, virtually notilied that she intends shortly to tako aotion in contravention of article 20 also. The governments of states represented by the undersigned are fully prepared as soon as an opportunity thereto shall be afforded them to substantiate tbe allegations herein made by setting forth and proving lie particular facts to which they refer. Since England sees lit to deny this continual volution of the laws of war fare, the states represented by the undersigned consider that they may in regard to this difference suck a decision the of permanent court to abntra- tion. Should the English government give an unfavorable reply it will thereby be manifest that, they dare not submit themselves to the judgment of a oonsciontioUK learned und impartial tribunal. The appeal is signed by W. J. Leyds, A. Fischer, A. D. W. Wolmar* anu, plenipotentiaries of the South African republic, and A. Fischur nnd C. Wessels, plenipotentiaries of tho Orange Free State.

New York, Sept. 87.���-The first race ���f tiie America's cup series, which, after a disappointment f 11,111 tluky zephyrs, wns abandoned in a il.ml calm un Thursday, will lie resailed tomorrow. At a Lite hour tonight tho weather bureau issued the billowing bulletin: T'luj wind ull Sandy Hook on Saturday will be frosh and easterly in ihe morning and will probably shift tu northeast in the afternoon, inotuasing to brisk. Aeoording to tiie definition uf a fresh breeze interpreted in figures from the stall,laid of tho weatnur buieau, in the morning lhe velocity of tho ind will vary from 10 tu 10 miles an hour. A brisk breeze is mennt one Iriving anywhere between 20 and '."j niles au hour. "We must have wind," said Sir riiomns Lipton tonight, "and from the procetit indications we Bhall get it tomorrow.

"Why, uo oue hero has seen that boat race as yet,'1 he declared. "Give her a chance, lam just as confident as ever, aud every one on board, Captain Sycamore, Mr. Watson, Mr. Uattiay and Mr. Jameson share my conviction.

The Federal authorities it seems cannot act on tho petition of the Mine Owners' Association petition ami disallow the acts complained of, unless it can be shown that they ure ultra vires, and if there is nothing in the acts which are not quite within the power ol the local bouse. This will nrobably make it necessary for the Mine Owners' Association to bring the matter before tho loeal bouse at its next sitting -where it will be fully treshed out aud if it cun be shown that there exists grievances they doubtless will be remedied. Sir Charles Tupper in a recent m- terivew declares that the Dominion government cannot properly interfere by disallowing tlio acts passed by the provincial government,unless they can be shown to bo ultra vires, and if there is uothiug in tiie acts which they complain of which aie not quite within the powers of the local house. The government, he said, can hardly take exception to the two per cent tax when they thsmsolveil passed a 10 per cent tax on tho Yukon. Sir Charles thought it quite right that the mines should pay a small tax, but it should te levied on tho nor, and not on tho gioos values, whicli is liable to press un Fairly on some mine owners. He was convinced tbat in tho case of the Y'ukon had u 5 per cent, tax been imposed, tho revenue to the government from that source would have been larger, as such an enormous tux as 10 por cent, only leads to much smuggling and disliuuei'ty. Sir Charles Tupper is tho chairman of the New GoldHelds of British Columbia, which is developing some promising properties on the west slope of Sophie mountain and is therefore, in close touch with the mining interests of the province. Thero is justice in the position whicli he takes as to the tax being levied on net and not on the gross output of the mines, a*) it is easy to see where it would work a hardship on the mine owner. The tax exacts 2 per cent, on the gross returns of tho oie less the freight and treatment charges. Take the hypothetical case cf a mine owner, who has piled up on the dump during the course of develop ment 1,000 ton of socond class gold- copper oro that will average $0,50 to the ton. This on* has cost him .5 a ton to minp, but he can have it hauled to the smelter and treated for 81.50 per ton. If he leaves it on the dump it represents a total loss of ,5 per ton. If he sends it to the smelter he can cut down tho los-i to .3.50 per ton. Naturally be sends it to tbe smelter, but tbo government Insists ou collecting two per cent, of tho SI.50, when us a matter of fact the mine nwnei has lost .3.50 on eaoh one of the 1,000 tons. This is whero the 2 per oent. tnx is a hardship and it also works a hardship whero the margin of proiit is small as it is with most of the gold oopper mines of Kootonay and Yale. Let the fact that tlie tax works to the detriment of a portion of the miners bo demonstrated to tbo provincial government antl there is not the least doubt that an endeavor will at once be mado to make it more equitable. It is the opinion of The Miner that tho mining industry should be taxed as little as possible while it Ib ln its infancy. Whon however, it glows stung and woathy then pile on tbe taxes. Thc iodusty wants nursing at present, inur. than it does vexatious restrictions and heavy taxation. FOOLISH TREASURE HUNTERS. Another exepedition is to be flttod out, this tune in Victoria, to hunt for tho treasuro whioh tho ollicial of the Nicaraguan government are alleged to have nonces led on CocoB island during the middle of the last century. The government afterwards used tho island for a penal colony and one of the conviots oocidently discovered the hidden treasure which consisted mainly of bullion. After his release ho kept the fin it a secret until the island I was abandoned us a penal settlement, and tben ho set off in a vessel with some friends to Bod the treasure. A ' sturm arose and the vessel containing the party was lost and the ex-convict nod those with bim perished. It is ' HUDSON'S BAY COMPANY. INCOHPOHBTBD 1670.

Araph- ion went in search of the treasure and actually found the box in the ground directly over the treasure when the captain for somo unexplained reason ordered the excavation olosed and abandoned the search. Several other parties havo diligently searohod the island and have failed to find the troasuro. Tho party from Victoria will doubtless have the same experience, for the story is an improbable ono and even if, during troublous times, the state treasure was concealed on the island for a period thoBe who buried it quickly found it again. It is like the legends which aio ourrcnt in every mining onmp of hunters, farmers or woodsmen finding, when alone, in some wild and out of the way place a ledge of tabulouH richeness from which was broken off a piece which went thousands of dollars to the ton. The finder of these wonderful lodes.so the stories go, either die suddenly or leave tho country or have their feet amputate, or something else happened to bim, which prevented him from returning to the lode, but usually bad time to make a map or perhaps half a dozen, and considerable time and money has been lost by credulous people in au endeavor to looate the lodes so curiously found. No one ever locates them as they are mythB, pure and simple. Tho Victoria people wbo purpose udventuring in the southern seas in search of the uiysteriouB Cocos islana treasure will probably have their labor far their pains, and will have gained considerable expieienoe and be out of pocket large sums. Tbeir experience will but serve to support the old aphorism that fools and their money are easily parted. If these treasure hunters want a show for thoir money lot them come to the Nelson division where tnere is moro hiddon treasure in a fow acres than there is on all of the islandB in the vicinity of Nioaragua. and it is easy to discern a rejuvenation of the Slooan to its former prosperity. Lead cannot lung remain at present prices and there are already signs in London that its inclination is upward and with an advance of a couple of pounds in the present prices it would produce a regular old fashioned boom throughout all the lead pioducing sections. LARUE ORB CONTRACTS. The contract which has just boen ontored into between the London and Richelieu Mining and Smelting Co. ar.d the Trail smelter for 15,000 tons of oro is the largest that ever was made for a dry silver lead ore between a local mine nnd a local smelter. The Trail Smelter, however, has made much larger contracts than this for gold-copper ore. Tho first large contract was made in lStlit when F. Aug. lluitize operated the Trail smelter. It was with the Le Roi Mining Company for 7.1,0011 tons of ore at the rato of '.'11 por ton for freight and treatment. Two years since VV. II. Aldridge, ho manager of the Trail smelter, closed the largest contract ever made for ore in the province witli the management of the War Eagle and tho Centre Star) Mining Companies. It was fcr 300,- DOil toons of ore at tho rate of $0 per ton for freight nnd treatment. This lattor contraot has not yet beon finish ed, only about half of the '100,000 tons having boon deliveied. The contract made between tho Trail smelter and tha London and Richelieu company providos for a rato of 87 for freighting from Crawford bay and for treatment and is a masonable rate for dry ore of the character found in the section around Crawford bay. Tho ore is of a high grade and by the time thc contract is completed the mining company should be in good linanolal condition. Work on tho Great Dane, tho Commonwealth an.1, other properties in the vicinity of Crawford hay Is being pushed and the enterprise of the London and Rieholicu company, whicli is building a two milo tramway and has its properties well developed, is likely to be Imitated, and It I . probable that several shippers will be developed there during the coining twelve months. The demand 'or dry ores from tho smelters will increase EDITORIAL NOTES.

In just fifteen days after the end of the liscal year the mining department issued its report containing full particulars of the output of the mines, gross values of the output, and value of the different nietii's produced. It was a complete and aocurate report and the totals were telegraphed to London and elsewhere and served to advertise the colony, In British Columbia the annual report of tbe minister of mines is not issued till live months ufter the year which it Ib intended to report ends. This is rnthei slow work for a live western province, as wc should at least be able to do as well as New South Wales. T SAVES TWO KROM DEATH.

The general trend of public foeling is strongly in favor of tbo next provincial election boing run on party lines. Most of the politicians of the const have reoogni/ed the inevitable lint have, so far as noticed, not expressed any preferences. The business men, who look lirst to the commercial ami industrial interest of the province and to party advantage second, see in party lines the system most likely to bring settled conditions. In Nelson the Liberals bave put themselves on reoord by issuing a let- tei to the other Liberal associations of the province asking them to cooperate m bringing about the estab Jishmcnt oT party lines. The movement tlnis inaugurated will lead to a formal declaration of tho Liberal party. A number of Conservatives seen yesterday were equally as emphatic in expressing a preference for the same step. What they desired was settled conditions, "Wo have bad too many elections recently," said Mr. Dover. ''In Nelson iiding there have been live in eight yearB. A lew of tbo abler men terra a government while the others not being bound to any party feel at liberty to change sides and so tho government is defeated and another election brought about." So far the Consevatives of Nelson have takon no action but should either parly announoo party lines they would bo glad of it and ready for the cmr.paign. Only by such a course do they expect to see stability in thegov- erninent.nnd most of those seen would prefer to huvo tho elections brought on as soon as tbey can be conveniently. They considered that the proper course for Premier Dunsmuir to pursue was to resign at once. For the sooner tbo next contest is over tbe sooner would the present chaotic condition of affairs be dono away with. There might bo three parties in the Held, the third being the labor unioiiB who might niakw tbe rosult in Nelson, the Slooan and RoBsland ridings doubtful but in tho general result of the province it wus dcubtfui whether they could make it dangerous for either party.

Considerable repairs were made to the fin-hall this weelt, the stalls are lit'intf rellooreii and other improvements made. At the C. P.

The Kokanee was to have made an extra trip yesterday to take mora laborers to the Lardo, but as word came that they would not arrivo, she will not go up till tonight, when another large party from Manitoba is expected over the Crow's Nest. At the Methodist church tomorrow Rev. W. II. Barraclough, B, A., of Viotoria, president of tho 1!. C. Conference, will preach morning and evening. Mr. Barraclough ia a delegate to the general Hoard of Missions which meets tine year in St. Mary's Ont., nnd Is regarded as one of the brightest young men of his denomination in the west.

Tbe shares should tise to an immediate premium as it is a proposition whioh certainly ooinmends itself to any thinking business person. "CHILDREN AND FOOLS." "Judge of a Tding Half Done." This is particularly applicable in cases whore persons seriously troubled from the effects of cofl'eo drinking and who take up I'ostum I'*oo Coffee in its place, attempt to make the new beverage with a little hot water and two or three minutes' boiling. That sort of a "lick and a promise" produces a drink thnt is simply exasperating. It is flat and tasteless, whereas the person who will boil the Postum full fifteen minute aftei the actual bubbling and boiling begins, will havo a beverage that is something. There is a point between twelve and fifteen minutes of boiling, when the character of I'ostum is changed, the food value Is extracted and the delicious flavor which much roHOinhlos the milder and morii expensive grades of ���lava colfee is produced, A lady in Halm, Oro., says: "Whenever I drank coll:*, nt night, I nlway** p'tgsoil a restless, wakeful night. Extreme nervousness and a weak Stomach have followed me ovei since I bave been using colTiu. Finally I got into such a state that my dyspepsia took the form of spasms and heart wc aknesu. I HiilTered intensolj, and when a physician was called, he enquired among other things, if I dinnk ooffee and insisted that 1 leave i'. off. 1 did mo and took up tea, which I found almost as bad. (finally husband bi ought homo a package of Tostum. and we tried it (strictly according to directions, for we believe in the adage that 'children and fools judge of a thing half done,') The new coffee was ilelioious and from that day until now (which is a year) it has been our only dilnk at meals. My dyspepsia, spasms, etc , are a thing of the past. My husband h'ul suffoicd seme years with bilious headaches, and indigestion, but during the past year on I'ostum KTood Coffee, ho has entirely recovered his health and gained muoh in weight Our friends frequently comment on our improved appearanee and change in complexion."

THE CABINET VACANCY. The Victoria Times says: The vacanoy in the cabinet is of supreme interest to British Columbia. Tho Minister of Marino and Fisheries has jurisdiction over one of the most important of our industries, regarding the conduct of which considerable difference of opinion had arisen between practioal men and the oxperls of the department during the tenure of otlice of the retiring minister. There had been no change in ihe policy of the minister as compared with that of his predecessors. He should hail from British Columbia and he should bo capable of rising abovo the traditions which have guided tho department in the past The premiei should also depart from the ways of his predecessors und refuse to aocode to the clamoriugs of the men of the oast who affect to have all the wisdom of the centuries accumulated under their hats and soein to fancv they are wrongod unless thoy nru granted positions on which thoy have no legitimate claim.
