McLean Bros, to Build Coast- Kootenay Railway. Viotoria, May 8.—Tlio opposition in the provincial legislature havo settled down to talk against time to pruvunt,if possible, Premier DunBrnuir being able |to (tot away in time to attend tlie coronation ceremonies in London in June. All day and until lata tonight the opposition kept up a discussion on minor matters. The chief! commissioner of lands and worus announced iu the legislature this evening that the government nnd received two offers to build the railway from tne coast to the Hound* nry district, through the IIopo mountains, generally known aa tho Victoria, Vanoouvor and Eastern railway, Ono offer was. from the Ollala Copper Mining nnd Smelting company, and tho other fro ill McLean Bros., of Vancouver. Tbe; government hus ontered into a contjnet with the McLcnna. Thoy ask for a cash subsidy to be returned to thy province through u percentage of the earning of the road and that the read be exempt from taxation for; a term of years. Tho government bn Monday will bring down tho agreement with McLean Tiros, und a bill to subsidize the Canadian Northern railway from llute inlet to the eastern boundary of tno province to connect with the line being built from the great lakes). A GBIjEHRATED CASE. John Keen's Decision in tho Le Rot Ore valuation Appeal. In response, to an order of the house n return was recently made to the house of a decision made by John Keen iu tlie wittier of the nssessmont nnd taxation bu the output of the Le Roi mine nt Rossland. This wns a case in which the appellants, tbe Le Roi Mining Co., appealed against tho assessment of the assessor, John Kir Imp, in 1000 alleging that the value placed bn the ore, $13 50 per ton, wus too big and that not sufficient deductions were made for the freight and tieiitmenl charges. The smelter at Northport vns erected by the Le Roi Mining and Smelting Oo,, a Washington corpora' tion, and tho Lo Roi company entored into a contract with the Red Mountain and the Spokane Falls and Northern railway companies to trans- poit its ore from its mine in Rossland to the smelter at Northport for a period of Ave years at tbe rato of 75 certs por ton On Mny 38, 1807, the Le Roi Mining and Smelting: company agreed to erect a ameltar at, Northport and further agreed wi'hi James Breed to supply him with oto, which he agreed to smelt for $10 por ton, and also to transfer to Mr. Ilreen a quarter interest in the smelter. On January 13, 1609, the Lo Roi Mining and Smelting company agreed to transfer ah its interests to tne Northport Mining and Smelting company, a Washington corporation. . Cn February ISth, 1800, the Northpori Mining and Smelting company transferred its interests in the plant to the llritish America cor- potation, and tbe same duy the latter company transfened its interest to tho Le Rot Miuiug Co., limitc!, a llritish corporation. I On Decembi-r G, 1800, James Ihcen agreed to sill his interests in the Northport Mining and Smelting com paiiy to tho llritish America corporation for sf.iO.OOi) and by letter, dated Dec. 0, 1H0D, lie, as vender, agreed to turn over to the purchasing corporation the plant just as soon as the last payment, but one, duo was paid. There was do evidence that this was done but as time was the essence of tho contract! the court assumed that this was done1 and that at the time of the trial and for some time previous the Le Roi company wns in a position to charge whkt it pleased for smelting after the several transfers above mentioned hud been made. Hon, T. May no Daly, Ihe attorney for tbe Lo Roi Mining Co., in his evidence, said that subject to . the $10 por ton agreement, the Northport Mining and Smelting oompanv was at the time of the trial owners of alt the interest in tho smelter at Northport. Tho evidence of Edw in Durunt went to show that the shares of tno North port Mining and Smelting company with the exception of the qualification share held by the dir odors, were held by the Le Roi Co. It was agreed by appellants and respondent that tbe tonnage of ore delivered foi the quarter ending June 30, 1000, was 38,1-05 tons. Assessor Kirkup valued this ut $13.50 per ton or a total of $521,977.50, but by his evidence this was hearsay, and based on a letter received as to the provious year's producton. Mr. Keen finally decided that $0 instead of $10 per ton was a fair charge for freight and treatment of the ore. He was further of thu opinion that the contract entered into with Ilreen for a $10 rate becamo void, when it was assigned, for a personal contract cannot be assigned and enforced. He farther held that the contract had been broken by the Le Roi company shipping a portion of its ore to Trail instoad of all to Northport M provided for iu the eoMruet. Under the circumstances ho decided as follows: 1. The market value of the ore at the mine to be $3.50 per ton, net. 2. The total value of -JS.iHi" tons is $135,237.50. 3. The tax thereon at 1 per cent., $1,352.37. He revised and signed tho collector aud assessor's roll in conformity. A PLUCKY OARRISON: llritish Besciged in O'Okfep Make a llnllant Defense. Capetown, May 3.—Reports which havH reached hole via fort Mollotb; western tape Colony, dated April 10, are to the effect that British columns ate now in close touch with the llritish garrison at O'Okiep, about 00 miles Inland from Port Nolloth, nnd that tho relief of the llritish force there is practically completed.

Present Lists Will Be Purged and Further Stuffing Prevented. ores, in spite1 of the agreement to a THE METAL MARKETS. New York, May 2.—Copper, steady; Lcud, quiot. Boston, May 2.—Tho copper market was inclined to weakness today, in sympathy with tbe general market charge of $10 per tun, which agree' ment, being a personal one, eould not Amalgamated copper stiffened 5-8, to he validly uiplgned, ond had no value oo 1-3, hut broke to 05 at the clow, City Clerk Strachan yesterday ro- cfived a draft of a bill now pending before the provincial house. In it important changes aie contemplated in tbo regulations respecting municipal elections. By ono of the provisions of tho bill all municipal voters must, by tbo Ut of January,make a declaration to tho effect that he or she has resided within the municipality since the first of the previous January, and hus paid all rates, taxes, asiessments, rentals and licence tees, not chargeable against real cstite, and deliver suoh declaration to the city chrk or assessor. By this provision the vote of tbe non-resident property owner will be dono away with, as the lull makes tbo declaration Decenary to all voters alike. Another class it gets after is all who are iu arrears for electric light, sewer or other civic rates. Another clause provides thnt only n male or an unmairied or widowed female, owning property and properly registered will he entitled to vote, doing away with a number of votes. Tbe name of any person that has been improperly added to or om- mitted from tbe voters' list can he orde'ed to be left off or added by tho magistrate or judge. Forrrorly there was a provision for the adding ot names left off hy ciror, but nothing to provide for tho removal of names that had been put there wrongly. Nomination will take place us beforo ou tho second Monday m January and (lie polling on the folowing Monday, instead of Thursday as heretofore, The closing and oeitifying as to the correctness of the list in future will he done by tlie clerk of the municipality, iuttead of tho mayor, The voters' list has to he closed not later than January 5th and to be printed and published within three days after. Tbe bill whs introduced by Wiliam Oliver, of Delta, THEY MADE MONEY. Litigation Discloses Good Profits in Real Estate Deal. The case of Andrews vs, Fletcher has been added to tho civil list for tbe approaching assizes. This is an action by Fletcher S.Andrews.of Win- nip°g, against Frank Fletcher, of this city, for a trustees accounting of all transactions in connection with the townsito of Slocan City, in which the plaintiff claims to be the owner of close upon a one-twelfth interest. Tbe case is interesting in that the papers filed in connection with it show that the owners of the Slocan City townsito made considerable money out of it, close upon $23,000 having been distributed among them in the way of dividends. In liia statement of claim the plain tiff alleges that under an agreement tbe defendant agreed to account and pay to bim his proportion of tho purchase money of lots sold as well as his proportion of money from lots which thereafter were sold. He further alleges that tbe defendant received large sums of money iu payment or part payment of wbi:b tbo plaintiff is entitled to a share. In his action tho plaintiff asks for a declaration that the defendant holds In trust for bim an 11-128 interest in Slocan City townsito; for an order directing tho defendant to convey; an accounting of ail monies received for tho sale of lots, and the payment of any money that may he found due to him upon thu taking of such account. The defendant in his statement of defence submits a statement of his account and states that ho is ready to account and pay over all monies duo under bis trusteeship, and further that he is ready and willing to execute a conveyance. This statement uf account shows Slocan lots to have commanded a very ready sale during the years 1807 and U08, within which period there were divided among the owners dividends aggregating $22,400.

Tho data as to how much of this indebtedness has been paid is not available but it is sufficient to prevent tbe mine from paying dividends. Besides this it was announced on Monday last tbat tbo Le Hoi management had laid off 120 men, wbo wero working in certain levels of tbe mine whero tbe ore was of a jjriulc ton low to bo operated while copper maintains its present price, and that in a few days tbo force would bo further decreased by tbe dismissal of about forty others. The facts above set forth are a well known in London as they are iiere and tho incident of Monday gave the bea< a splendid opportunity to mako tbe raid and to force tbo shares down to the lowfcfct point since the new Le Boi company was floated. Tbe Le itoi mine has some rich ore shoots and the evident intention of the management is to confine tho production of oro to these, pending the rise in tho value of copper when the lower grade portions of tbe ore bodies can be again operated at a profit. The battle of tbe management in the future will be to out down tbe expenses, A few months since when Mr. Maodonald retired from the management it" was estimated tbat there was l 500,000 tons of ore between tbe 000 foot level aud tho surface. Since then considerable advance work bas been dons and doubtless the quantity of ore io sight has been materially increased. By adopting the policy of taking out tho higher grade oro the average por ton can be increased up to #11* to (15 per ton or even higher and this will leaves good margin of profit, so that in a short timo the indebtedness will be wiped nut and as soon as this is done tbe payment of dividends can be resumed. At the same time any advance in the price of copper would be of material aid in increasing tho profit* of the mine. We believe that tbe Le Roi is now being ably ana economically conducted, and that it will be befoioa great while placed In a position to yield good profits to Its stockholders. The piesont price of £2 per share we believe does not nearly represent tbe actual value ol the shares and there should be a rapid advance from this figure. was a mystery to thosa operating the' dredge as to why it did not pay as it wus certain taut the values wero in tho auriferous earth that was being ccooped Irom the bed of tho river a vbeel bairow full at a timo. While all forts of improvements were being suggested und made to the machinery tho fault lay in a plaeu where it was not suspected. It was decided somo months ago to experiment with the sluicing and the water was rednced to the least possible amount to properly wash the dirt. The problem was solved and it was palpable to all then that the gold had been washed away and lost in tho sluicing by using too much water. The discovery caused great jubilation on tbe dredge the day it was made. The dregdo ia now paying interest on $100,000. which is tbe amount the syndicate has expended so far ia its operations. There are many miles of rivei bed in which thero must be some very rich spots. Tho Fraser river bare in its early history yielded some largo fortunes to the adventurous miners wbo flocked there in 18:9, and from the success which is boing attained by the Cobel- dick dredge and tbe fact that a fleet of the same sort has been ordered by the Fraser River Dredging 3o.it. is probable that the old glories of the river in tbe way of large prodctlon of tho yellow metal are in a measure, least, to be revived.

Tbe news that tbe Fraser River Dredging Co. baa met with success witb tbe Cobeldick dredge opens up a vista cf possibilities In this class of mining wbicb is certain to swell the gold production of the province to a considerable extent. For the first time in tho history of tbe province tbe operation of dredging baa been made to pay. Tbe syndicate operating tbe dredge had spent large sums in an effort to make their venture profitable hut wero so unouccosful that a number interested gayo up in despair aud sold This act, introduced by Attorney' General Eberts, is ostensibly framed in tbe interests ot the wage-earner and provides for tbo payment to any work man of any wages due to bim by a eontractoi engaged on public works out of tbo securities held by the government from such contractor. It would be infinitely more satisfactory if tbe word "may" wero replaced by ".shall1 in section two. The clause rendu that the member of the Executive council undet whose department any publio work is carried on "may" require tbe coutractor to file at tho office of his department monthly statement covering the names, ratoa of wages, amounts due, and amounts paid and unpaid for wages. As it stands the clause renders the act of very little practical use, To be effective tbo filing of such a statement must be compulsory l every case. By submitting "shall foi "may" the measure would fairly and equitably serve the purpose for which it is presumably intended instead of perhaps being a moans of either unduly lavoring a friend or of annoying a non-complaisant con- tractor. there.

Bill out of the Kettlo river valley which baa been in progress for the past four years is ended, The spur to Grand Forks as well as the line to Bepublic will be completed before many weeks. It is more than probable, too, that tho road will be continued on into the Similaanioen country and if this is done it will open up ouo of tbe most promising sections ol British Columbia. Io this region there is gold, silver, copper, platinum, lead and coal, fine agricultural and grazing land and excellent timber. It also has a mild and pleasant climate. An era of aiore than oroinary prosperity should follow the advent of the V.,V. and B.' in the Slinikameen country. Considerable alarm continues to be expressed in Great Britain ovor the outcome of the Morgan steamship trust and although it was pointed out that it is an alliance and not annexation, still tbo fear is strong that it is i menace to British supremacy on the seas. We believe that tho British statesmen, who have confronted more menacing and terrifying dangers than are to be found in the Morgan combine, and always successfully,will be ablo to moot tbo present emergency in a manner which will result bene- tiunlly to British interests.

To date there has been $10,0011 spent upon the property in development and 18 carloads of ore have been sent to Ihe smelter. The ore is siliulous In character and averages about 175 ounces to tne too. The purchase piice is $G5 000 the first payment, amounting to 10 per cent, falling due one jeui from date while the balance is to he met by threo equal payments covering the remainder of the time. During the life of the bond Mr. Noiraan has the privilege of shipping oro on which the owners exact a royalty of 25 por cent, and no portion of the money so paid shall apply on the purchase price. The stow still litis dorp on the group and nothing will be done until June 1, when a good sized force will begin tho work of development. Samuel Coulter arrived in Nelson yesterday from the Summit-Ymir property which is being developed by a number of Nelsun men. Coulter brought In somo very lino specimens of rock which he encountered In the tunnel he is driving along the main ledge. This tunnel is being driven , along the hanging wall of the big 20 foot lenge and the lace Is now In a body of oro between four nnd five feet wide, The samples brought in by Coulter assayed $30 in gold values, but ihe oaners of the property are too conservative to say thnt tho assays indicate the average valve of the entire ore body. Coulter's present contract, calls fur tint driving of 100 feet of tunnel, the objective of the company boing to strike a second ledge which intersects the main lodge. lie is now in 50 feot with his wmk and should reach the interaction of the ledges in another 25 feet. This week's strike at B0 feet is therefore tn tho nature of a pleasant surprise. Tho owners of the Twin SisterB f;roup, savs the Slocan Drill, which is ocnted ou tbe north fork of Lemon creek, cut i the ledge recently in the lower crosscut. Tbe crosscut had been driven 150 feet when the ledge was met, and .'tho vertical depth is 120 feet. The drift' is six feet into tbo ledge without the other wall showing, And hail exposed a big bunch of concentrating mineral. When tbe other wall has been reached drifting both ways on the ledge will be commenced. On tho Legal,which is Incatcdon the north fork of Lemon creek, ore has beon struck in tho drift. There is from six to 10 inches of mineral in the breast, it is gradually widening and it is thought it will inrease to the full width ol the same lend in the workings nearer tne Mir luce. Where tbo strike was made h 240*feet in the drift and nt a vertical depth of 170 feet. Tho Legal ore 1b gold and carries high values. The owners say It ts likely that a stamp mill will be installed this summer. I). W. Moore of the Trail smelter was in Kelson yesterday. Ho says it is expected that the relinery will be in satisfactory operation by the 15th of the month. Just what the output of the plant will be Mr. Moore was not prepared to Bay. Us capacity is between ten and twleve tons per day but just whnt its accomplishment will be can only be determined by actual, Operation. The pig load will ba shipped to Montreal, where there Is every reason to hone lend wonts will bo established within n short time. It is reported that the Chicago syndicate thai hold a bond on tbe Little John group, about three and one Inuf miles from Nelson on the line of the Nelson and Fort Sheppard railway, intend putting a force of mon to work to develop tho property, commercing June 1st, It is also understood that work on the Robio Hood, adjoining the Little John, will be commenced nbcut May lMn. Some very good showings were uncovered last season in the course of development work on both properties, C. F. Caldwell reports to the Koote- naian that work on the Pontine is progressing favorably, 100 feet of tunnelling having been completed and there are two fine bodies of ore in sight. A crosscut tunnel is now being driven to tap the ledge at a depth of 450 feet. Should the oro at this depth prove as rich and extensive as it is nearer tho surfaco machinery will bo put in, roads built nnd other improvements made, preparatory to marketing tbe oro. The Kooton^iau roports that negotiations nro under way for tho purchase of tho Miller and Johnson prnpnrtv on tho south fork. One offer of $20,000 Iihh been refused, but thore aro others who have the property in viow and somo competition ns to who will ultimately acquire it. Work on this property last tall disclosed a SO foot ledgfl containing two feet of galena running high in lead and giving some 75 ounces in silver, besides 1(1 feot of concentrating ore.

N an article In the "Arena" for February, Kltweed Pomeroy writes of English and French national traits as shown In their deliberative assemblies—the House of Commons anrl the Chamber of Deputies respectively. Describing a visit to the latter, Mr, Pomeroy writes: "The hands of the two big clocks— there must be one on each side to balance—approach two. A minute later the ushers, In full dress, each with a metal chain around his neck, arrange themselves In a row; the head usher announces in a loud voice to the few Deputies already there: 'Monsieur le President!' and the elegant Paul Du- chiincl enters and ascends to his Beat on the third platform. The hall fills with Deputies. The audience nulets down. Without any roll-call, reading of minutes, or other prellmlnory, the President announces that Deputy Berry will speak. "A stocky, businesslike Frenchman ascends the tribune. At first he speaks calmly, but, soon warming up, he expostulates, implores, entreats, commands, exhorts. Gestures are frequent and emphatic. It Is an oration. A sharp remark starts a question from ono aide. M. Berry answers It. Another and another follow In rapid succession. A member stops walking In front and begins an excited explanation. Twelve or fifteen Deputies are talking at once. M. Berry shrugs his shoulders with an eloquent gesture «f despair—aa only a Frenchman can shrug. The President rap-! hard on the table; he rings his bell again and again, rises, and calls- out: 'Attention, gentlemen!' The hubbub subsides nnd then renews. The President pleads with them: 'It Is Monsieur Berry who speaks, gentlemen! Hear him!' His hands are extended In entreaty. His voles has tears in It. He assumes the most graceful, nonchalant, and pleading attitude. The speaker below htm bas stopped with a most patient and resigned air. A stalwart usher comes to the front and shouts 'Silence!' In the lull that follows, M. Berry makes the mistake of saying he could sing something that would convince them. At once the shout, 'Chantant! Chan- tant!' ('Sing! Sing!') gooB up all over the house. Nothing can be heard In the din till M. Berry begins to talk In stentorian tones and gesticulates wildly and ends In an eloquent climax, which brings silence out of mere curiosity to hear him. A vote is taken and his motion Ia carried. Despite the noise, oratory, and hubbub, the body moves and action la taken. An Englishman la bewildered and scandalized by the tumult. He does not understand the French love of a sensational effect and of display. "President Duchane] has Just been married. A little later, a witty Deputy In the course of his speech said, 'I ani a benedick,' with a significant wave ol hla hand backward. At once a fusillade of questions were fired at him—why was he a benedick? how long would he stay a benedick? was It good to be a benedick? The President arose, explained, pleaded, expostulated in a most pathetic and heart-rending manner. The orator talked below. The witty questions, bon-mots, and laughter scintillated acrosa the floor. The audience in the boxes applauded and watched the actors through their opera-glasses. Ushers came out and shouted, 'Silence! Silencer but no one paid any attention to them. It was as good as a circus. They were all actors, and acting with a verve, grace, and effectiveness utterly alien to the Anglo-Saxon." Turning to the British House of Commons, Mr. Pomeroy says that a policeman points the visitor through a magnificent hall Into an equally magnificent octagonal lobby without any neat* in It. Halls leading out of It have seats, but a policeman tolls you visitors are not allowed to sit on them. Policemen are everywhere, and they act aa If tfhey were the chief ornaments of the building. Even a member of the House must get a special permit to take a lady with tho visiting party Into the House restaurant. "While we are discussing the Parliament-toasted buns nnd tea, we notice a sentry pacing up and down on the outside terrace. On enquiry we find he was put there yenrs ago, when the'dynamite outrages stirred parliamentary sloth. The Idea wns that dynamite might bo thrown from a boat on the river and destroy the buildings. He still paces." Illustrating this characteristic worship of precedent, the writer says that his friend, Mr. Corrio Grant, member for Leicester, cited a couple of interesting facts. On entering the chamber, every member bows three times. At first Mr. Grunt thought thoy were bowing to tlio Speaker, as representing the flignity of the House. But one day he noticed the Speaker himself bowed three times on entering. He enquired, but no ono seemed to know the reason for this rule. The English in him be- came aroused and he went digging to find out. After n good deal of antiquarian research, he found that contuses ngo, In the timo of Henry VIII,, the House of Commons met In St. Stephen's ohapel, which of course waft Unman Catholic, as that was then the State and all-prevnlllng religion. At the upper end,was an altar, and everyone coming in bowed three times to the Holy Trinity—to the Fnthcr, to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. Thoy no longer meet In St. Stephen's chapel; the religion is gone; the altar is gone; the real reason for tho rule Is gone—but they still bow three times on entering. Again, "In the House of Commons the members sit on benches without any desks. These benches run up and down the hall, and nn aide runH up the center. The Government members sit on one side nnd the Opposition on the other. Tltey thus face each other. There are only enough seats for about a third of the members. That also la English. The arrangement of seats Is awkward for speaking, but it la 'old.' Down each side of tho aisle runs a narrow strip of rod carpet, Should a member in talking overstep this rod carpet, he Is called lo order nnd moves back. The two strips or red carpet are Just a little farther apart than the length of a sword and the sword arm. They are a relic of the timo when the armed knights sat on either side of the house and a member wan forbidden to overstep this red carpet lest In the beat of debate be should draw his sword and Injure or be Injured. The swords have gone ages npn, and the violence of that mediaeval debute, but the red carpet and the rule without reason remains." West Kootenay Butcher Co.
