DAILY NEWS VOf. I. NELSON, B. C, SATURDAY. NOVEMBER 8, 1902. NO. 168 SHOWS A MARKED INCREASE BOUNDARY FORGING AHEAD IN MINERAL OUTPUT. RECORD OF THE DISTRICT TO DATE FIGURES THAT TALK. Phoenix, Nov. 7—(Special to The Daily News.)—Similarly ns September showed a marked increase over August in the amount of ore shipped from the mines of tbe Boundary district, so does the month of October show a like advance over the figures for tbe month of September.' In fact, there Is ah improvement of nearly or quite 30 per cent. The totals for the month of September, as nearly as can be ascertained, aro 43,582 tons, while those for October are 55,410 tons. In tbe Boundary country there are now six regularly shipping mines that arc sending their product to local smelters continuously. These are the Granby mines, Phoenix camp; the Snow- shoe, Phoenix enmp; the Mother Lode, Deadwood camp; tiie Sunset, Deadwood camp; the 13, C. mine, Summit camp, and the Emma mine, Summit camp- two from each camp. Tbe largest shippers are, of course, tbe Granby mines ond the Mother Lode, both of the companies operating these properties sending lhe output to their own smelters. The Snowshoe nnd B. C. mine have been sending their output to the Mother Lode and Sunset smelters, where the ore Is used for fluxing purposes, white the Emma has been shipping to the Hnll Mines smelter, at Nelson, till lately, and now some of its ore is also send to the Boundary creek smelters. Approximately, the output of eaeh of these six mines for the month of October was as follows: Tons. Granby mines 21,865 Mother Lode 20,(i(IO Snowshoe 4,2ilti B. C. mine 3,380 Emma mine 2,825 Sunset 2,400 Total for October 55,410 During the summer all the Boundary smelters were handicapped by the shortage of fuel, caused by the strike of (lie coal minors at Fernie, in East Kootenay. This was Anally amicably adjusted, however, and since then tbe amount of ore shipped to and treated at local smelters hns been steadily increasing each month. At present there are five blast furnaces treating ore in the Boundary, viz.. Mother Lode, two; Granby smelter, two; Sunset smelter, one. But for the lack of power at the Granby smeller, caused by tbe low wnter in the North Fork of Kettle river, that concern would hnve shown double the output thnt was made for the month of October. As tbe Granby people expect to be able to utilize the power from the large works at Oascadf in a couple of weeks or loss, their output for November will doubtless show r considerable increase over that for October, as they will then hnve four furnaces In blast instead of two. A comparison of tiie shipments ot Boundary ore with those for the snme period Inst year will be found of interest. By reference to the subjoined tnblo It will lie noticed that In the flrst ten months of 1002 Boundary mines shipped over 400,000 tons of ore—or more than wns shipped from the same mines for the entire twelve months of 1901. This record is considered excellent when the drawbacks under which tlio smelters labored last summer are taken Into consideration. By months the shipments of ore from Boundary mines for the first ten months of 1902 were as follows; Tons. January 29.84!) February 33,708 March 41,780 April 54,485 May 53,488 Juno 43,061 July 31,127 August 10,324 September 43,582 October 5,5410 Total for ten months 402,514 THE FRENCH STRIKE. Parliamentary Commission Appointed to Investigate Condition of Miners. Paris, Nov. 7.—The chamber of deputies today took up a resolution moved by M. Rounnet {radical socialist) for the appointment of. a commission of 33 members to investigate tho condition of tho miners and report upon means to prevent economic conflicts. Premier Combes said the government had no objection to the appointment of such a commission, and tho resolution was adopted by 367 votes to 148. Six thousand striking coal miners held a meeting at Llvin, department of Pas de Calais, today. They decided not to accept the decision of tbe arbitrators against an increase of present rates of wages, and to continue tho strike. THE SITUATION IN SOMALILAND. British Movements Hampered Whilst the Mullah Advances on Bohotle. Borbera. Enst Africa, Nov. 7.—Colonel Swayne, formerly British commander in Somallland, who has been recalled to England, started for hwme today. He ls ill. General Manning, who succeeded him, is pushing the preparations for nn advance against, the Mullah, hut ho is hampered in his efforts by the fnct that the country has so few resources, and the necessity of waiting for supplies. Tho Mullah is profiting by the delay Jn the start of the British expedition. He has advanced to within a few miles of Bohotle. He Is known to have 2,000 rifles, one maxim gun, much ammunition, 15,000 spearmen and immense reserves of camels and sheep at his command. Bohotle is well garrisoned and has ample defences. It is impossible to prevent the running of guns to the Mullah through French territory, which is in constant progress. BOUNDARY ORE SHIPMENTS. For the Present Week Exceed Twelve Thousand Tons. Phoenix, Nov. 7—(Special to The Daily News.)—Although the Granby smelter bas as yet been able to operate hut -.two furnaces on account of lack of power, the ore shipments from Boundary mines continue to keep up to a good level, tbe total for this last week being above 12,000 tons. The different mines shipped the following amounts of ore: Granby mines, to Granby smelter, 5,072 tons; Mother Lode to Greenwood smelter, 4,256 tons; Sunset mine, to Boundary Fails smelter, 630 tons; B. C. mine, to Boundary Falls smelter, 990 tons; Snowshoe mine, to Boundary Falls and Greenwood smelters, 720 tons; Emma mine, to Greenwood and Boundary Fnlls smelters, 360 tons. Total for the year lo date, 409,771 tons. Tlie Grunby smelter treated 4,945 tons, or 245,438 tons for this year. GRANBY SMELTER RETURNS ORE SHIPMENTS FROM REPUBLIC ARE INCREASING. SMELTER WILL BE RUNNING FULL BLAST SHORTLY. Grand Forlta, Nov. 7.—During tlie week ended today tho Granby smelter treated 4,915 Ions or ore, the totnl treated to date being 550,052 tons. Upwards of 400 tons of ore from the mines of Republic, Washington, were hauled to Grand Forks over the Kettle Valley line this week for treatment, at the Granby smelter. The ore shipments of tho Republic mines since the completion of the railway amount to 1,610 tons. Tho oro tonnage from Republic in detail for the pnst week is as follows: Black TalL.150 tons; Lone Pine, Surprise, 50; Qullp, 200; E. L. Caliph, 3. Thus far to date the Qullp mine holds the record, with shipments of 076 tons; San Poll comes next, with 360 tons, and Black Tall third, with 254 tons. Four furnaces will be in operation at the Granby smelter the week after next, thus doubling tbe capacity of the plant. The delay In blowing In the two furnaces that have heen idle for several months is duo to the non-arrival of electrical transformers in connection with the local sub-station of the Cascade Power company, which has contracted to supply the Grnnby company with a maximum of 2,000 horse power.

LE ROI PROFITS Said to Have Exceeded $85,000 In Month of October. Rossland, Nov. 7.—The announcement is mnde that the profits of the Le Roi company In October were slightly over 185,000. This is regarded ns a particularly good showing. COLLAPSE OF VENEZUELAN REVOLUTIONARY MOVEMENT. LEADERS QUARREL AND ARE NOW MAKING FOR THE MOUNTAINS. La Victoria, Venezuela, Nov. 7.—News has been received here concerning the retreat of the revolutionary forces. It is to the effect that on the night of Noveber 1st the revolutionists withdrew from their position near La Victoria and San Mateo because they were without ammunition. The fact that the rebels lacked cartridges caused a disagreement betweel general Matos and general Rolando, which was followed by hot words. General Rolando declared that the shortage of ammunition was the fault of Matos, and that, the success of the revolution was endangered by the condition. General Matos alone wns responsible. He said that alt wns lost, and with his followers, about 3,200 withdrew from the main body of the rebels In the direction of Alta Gracla. President Castro since he discovered that the revolutionists only retreated because of their absolute shortage of ammunition, ordered them to be pursued day nnd night. The latest report of their movements is that generals Matos, Mendoza and Herrera and their commands, are trying to reach the mountains. Theso rebels are supposed to be near Barrera, a point 12 miles from the lake of Valencia. It is difficult to understand tiie apparent sudden and complete collapse of the revolutionary movement. But a few days ago the rebels seemed to be upon the eve of victory, while today their cause seems absolutely lost. The government sympathizers who are following the rebels, scored their first success this morning by the capture of general Ramon Lulzi, who wos making his wny in the direction of Alto Gracia with 300,000 rounds of ammunition and 4.060 men to reinforce the revolutionists. President Castra having sent bis men in all directions to cut off the retreat or the enemy, left here today for Caracas. From there he will go to Losteques. The president will go by rail to Caracas, arriving there Sunday morning. He will then take his place at the head of the government. Telegraphic communications between La Victoria and Caracas have been restored. CHARGED WITH ASSAULT That Caused tbe Denth of a Well Known Dressmukor.

Vun Braken suld Cole mado certnln statements regarding the reuson why he did not care to visit the sick woman, among others, that Mrs. Dennis might say something which would reopen the Investigation. Detective Hurtlgun who bus been working on the cuse ever since tho crime was committed, testified that Cole is tlie only person among those investigated, who wavered ln Ids statements. Cole, who also testified before the coroner's Jury, denied muklng tbe assault, und protested that he had assisted tlie uuthorltles. He also denied using the language attributed lo him by Van Bracken.

TO REGULATE EMIGRATION DRASTIC MEASURE INTRODUCED BY HUNGARIAN GOVERNMENT. WILL HIT THE STEAMSHIP LINES A SEVERE BLOW. Vienna, Nov. 7—The Hungarian government has introduced in the reichstag an emigration reform bill of sweeping character. One of the main provisions of this bill strikes a heavy blow nt the north Atlantic steamship lines by empowering the government to route emigrants through the Hungarian port of Flume. Up to the present time Hungarian emigrants have sailed chiefly from the ports of Hamburg, Bremen, Rotterdam and Antwerp, and last year a total of 70,941 Hungarian emigrants left these ports. The prospective loss to the German and other steamship lines sailing from the portB mentioned is likely to be even greater because Austria ls now preparing a bill similar to the one Introduced by Hungary by which it Is expected to send Austrian emigrants through Trieste. The Hungarian bill specifically prohibits tbe emigration of certain classes of the people, including men who have not performed military service, parents who leave behind their children under 15 years .old, and persons without adequate travelling money, or whose expenses are paid by foreign states, or colonization societies. Under the bill the government can forbid emigrants to certain countries entirely or provisionally, and it can prevent the emigration of vrlain classes of artisans when this is deemed expedient. TO CAPTURE AMERICAN GUP SHAMROCK III. TO BE BUILT ON NEW LINES. DESIGNERS CLAIM TO HAVE NOW EVOLVED A SURE THING. Glasgow, Nov. 7.—-The Associated Press understands that In the Shamrock III. there will be embodied some radical departures from the principles of construction employed in previous challengers. These changes are said to be due to an accidental discovery made during tbe trials of the Shamrock I. and Shamrock II., which convinced designer Watson that there had been a fundamental error in the construction of all the recent challengers. It is said the discovery was made too late to admit of the re-modelling of the Shamrock II., but when its nature was explained to sir Thomas Lipton it had grent weight in deciding him to try for tlie America's cup for the third time. Both designers, Fife and Watson, are convinced that they possess solid data upon which they will now he able to build a yacht superior to any previous cup racers. They are certain they have evolved an idea which affects the whole theory of propulsion of sailing yachts. A HEAVY DEFAULTER. Former ^Solicitor of the Ontario Treasury Depurtment Arrested. Toronto, Nov. 7.—Fred. McDougail, until recently solicitor to the provincial treasury department, was arrested yesterday and locked up without bail on two specific charges of theft of $0,500 from the Ontario government, though it is said that bis accounts are short $35,000. The alleged defalcations cover a number of years. McDougall's function was to collect succession duties. About a month ago lie waB suspended by premier Ross, wbo Is also treasurer of tiie province. McDougail was formerly an alderman of Toronto. TIIE DOUKIIOI30R PILGRIMS. Winnipeg, Nov. 7.—A Nowdalo despatch rends: "The Doukhobor pilgrims arrived bora I as I night about S o'clock, Somo BEEF BADLY CANNED. Toronto, Nov. 7.—The Telegram's London cable says: A war office official stated today In nn interview in reference to the condemnation of a consignment of Canadian canned beef during the South African wnr that such was only done after the most exhaustive and fairest of tests. Professor Robertson, who witnessed the experimental tests at Woolwich, said: "I am convinced that Canadian packing leaves much to be desired, and I shall eom- munlcate my opinion to the proper quarter." MINING MARKET DEPRESSED ELECTION BETS PAID, New York, Nov. 7,—Election bets amounting to nearly $10,000 wero pnld today on Wall street after a short delay caused by the demobratlo talk of contest- lug Iho results. Hots nn pluralities lu certain sections are still held up. VERY LITTLE DOING IN LONDON OP PROVINCIAL INTEREST.- INADEQUATE REPORTS OF OUTPUT OP THE MINES. London, Oct. 25.—(Special Correspondence of The Daily News.)—The Canadian mlnng section of the stock exchange remains absolutely stagnant, in fact, less interest is shown in this department by brokers and investors than at any time during the last few years. This is the more strange owing to the considerable publicity given to Canadian affairs generally in the British press owing to the recently concluded tour of British journalists, the question of the fast Atlantic line of steamships and one or two commercial ventures which have recently received a certain amount of prominence, among which may be mentioned a scheme for supplying food products in London and the provinces, with which the names of lord Aberdeen and other prominent persons have been mentioned. The idea of the promoters seems to be to open shops for light refreshments on similar lines to the Aerated Bread company's shops, to conduct bakeries in which Canadian flour only will be used, and to open cooking schools where the proper use of Canadian canned goods can be practically exhibited. A. Marsh and R. Plewmnn, of Rossland, are now in London, and ns both these gentlemen are interested in mining matters, their advent may foreshadow some new venture. A. K. Stewart, who has been in charge of the British Columbia mineral exhibits since the Paris exhibition, is now in London under Instructions, it ts stated, to collect and pack up the exhibits, which have been on view at the Wolverhampton and Cork exhibitions and the Imperial institute, and ship them back to Victoria. It Is so strongly felt by the agent-general and others interested in the welfare of British Columbia that such a proceeding would be like shipping coals to Newcastle and talcing away a very valuable object lesson of the wealth of your province from a centre where it would be of value to capitalists and investors that a meeting has been called to discuss tlie matter and make representations to colonel Prior. If an expression of opinion was obtained from those who supplied the mineral specimens they would doubtless prefer that they should remain In the financial centre of the empire rather than he shipped hack nt great expense to the country of origin. The reported purchase by Mr. Dunsmuir of the remaining interest In the Nanaimo coal mines and railway Is regarded over here as paving the way with Messrs. Mackenzie & Mann for tiie extension of the Canadian Northern. We have already stated that the mining market is in an abnormally depressed condition and the reconstruction of the Ymlr which is now proposed, together with the recent report of the Hall Mining & Smelting company, will not help to Improve matters. The directors of the Ymir propose reconstruction and nn assessment of three shillings per share, which will bring In £30.000 to be applied to liquidating present indebtedness nnd carrying on further development at the mine. As the group which control the Ymlr enjoy the confidence of their shareholder* owing to their straightforward and businesslike policy there Is not likely to be much trouble in getting the money, but it is much to be regreted thnt this property which has held out such high promise should bave proved disappointing, although there appears to be reason to hope thnt the vein may be again picked up nnd dividends once more resumed. At the meeting of tbe Hall Mining & Smielting company, which took place last week, lord Ernest Hamilton, the chairman, held out hopes that tlio smelting operations of tbe company might prove sufficiently profitable to pay dividends to the shareholders, and stated thnt the mine had been leased to tbe superintendent and they hnd just received Information that he had uncovered 5,000 tons of ore of an average value of $8 a ton, so that the position of the mine Is not quite so desperate ns had been nt flrst anticipated. Tbo shares of both Le Roi and Le Roi No. 2 have fallen considerably during tho last, fortnight, apparently for no tangible reason. It appears to be I lie object of a certain stock exchange cllqt; to cause the amalgamation of these two companies, but whether this will lie to the interest, of both bodies of shareholders is very doubtful, as although the larger company owns their own smflltlng plant, it Is of far less value to them than it would be if it were situated in Canndian territory, and of course tbe Lo Roi No. 2 hns far more mineral ground unbroken than its larger name* We hear that the Scottish syndicate which Is interested in the Idaho mine hns managed to acquire the outstanding interest which has hitherto stood somewhat In the way of rapid development of thnt. properly, A compnny was recently registered under the title of Gold Run, Klondike, with n capital of .£400.000, with which a Charles Eugene Oarbonneau Is connected both as vendor and as a director The B. C. Review recently published n very strong article warning investors against this undertaking on tbe ground of Carbonneau'H previous record, nnd referred to certain exploits of this person under the title of "Count Carbon- neau," which took place in Vancouver, which will possible he remembered by your readers. Renter hns for some lime past, had weekly cablegrams, dated from Mont real, announcing the aggregate weekly output from the Rossland and Boundary mines. Any Information of this kind is of course, useful to the London market, but in this particular instance the value would he very greatly enhanced If the output of each Individual property were mentioned instead of the whole being lumped together. As Reuter Ib doubtless kept posted by the C. P. R. wires, If this suggestion is brought to the notice of the right authorities, the suggested improvement might be carried out. A company was formed recently hy Cecil Ward, of Kamloops, for the purchase of certain lands In that neighborhood which it was intended to irrigate. The capital Is £43,000, and a fair proportion of this sum has already been put up, and we hear that further subscriptions are being dally received. There are many excellent opportunities for the investment of British capital in your province, and as at present investors seem shy of mining enterprises It would be well if some real estate or commercial propositions were brought to their notice under good auspices, as there is plenty of money awaiting investment. Tenders were recently advertised in the English press for the construction of a bridge at Victoria, and we have heard many complaints from firms who inspected the specifications intending to tender that the terms were such as to make it impossible for any but American firms to undertake the job. This we presume was duo to an oversight on the part of those framing the specification and while on this subject we would point out the benefits of attracting largo English firms to put up public works in the colonies which has almost always resulted in an increased inflow of British capital Into those localities. SEVERAL ARE DECAPITATED INCIDENTS OF RECENT BOXER OUTBREAKS AGAINST CONVERTS. A HOT ALL-NIGHT BATTLE WHICH COST MANY LIVES. Victoria, Nov. 7.—Mail advices received from the Orient include official reports from Kwei Chun, ex-viceroy ol Szo-Chuan, detailing the recent Boxer outbreak there. After relating the Incident leading up to the destruction of the churches In the two districts, and the murder of many native converts, the report says: "Several regiments of troops were sent to the disturbed places and besides slaying two or three hundred of the Insurgents, the troops succeeded in capturing several who were brought to Chengtu and decapitated there. Between 5,000 and 6,000 Boxers had assembled in Hwayang-Hsien, Chtntnag Hsien and Chlenchou, where they occupied the mnrket towns and killed as many captains of the train bands as they could get. hold of. A small force was sent to the Boxers to exhort thein to disperse. I did not take stringent measures on this occasion because I feared that among the Boxers there might be many famine stricken inhabitants wbo were not disposed to do evil but were simply led by the Boxers. A flght followed and 200 Boxers were killed and otherB driven back, but many entrenched themselves, and the force sent was obliged to return." Tiie report continues describing the dissatisfaction throughout the province, which prevented garrisons being transferred, and then tells of tbe attack on Changiu, where three regiments and 600 bnnnermen had been assembled for defence. The Boxers attacked the Imperial troops in the outskirts of Chengtu and a hot battle followed which lasted for a whole night, with the result that between 400 and 500 were slain. NO USE FOR CHINESE COOKING. Molly Gibson Miners Quit Work Rather Than Stand for It. There was nothing doing at the Molly Gibson mino today. The men all quit work because of superintendent Mufr's persistence in keeping a Chinese cook to prepare the meals. On Wednesday the men held a meeting and decided that the Chinese cook must go. He went, and the men put on a mucker to dish up the food-stuff pending the arrival of a white chef from town. Yesterday superintendent Muir came to town himself and hired another Chinaman to do the cooking. His arrival at the camp was the signal for decisive action. This morning every man quit work, and notified tbo superintendent that so long as a Chinaman hod charge of the grub they would stay quit. The men came down to town last night, and will stay here until the matter is settled. Tbey suy they have a capable white cook ready to (ill the job, and If the mine superintendent will engage him they will return to work nt once. FOURN1ER TO HANG TOO. Lnbollc's Partner in Crime Pound Guilty and Sentenced. Dawson, Y. T„ Nov. 6.—Pournior, the comrade of Labelle, was found guilty of murder last night before judge Cralge. He was sentenced to be banged on January 20th. The trial lasted but one day. He protested his Innocence. There were dramatic features at the trial. Pournlor'B interruptions on giving evidence wore remarkable. At one stage he protested his innocence, saying "So help me God: hope I may die and bo stricken blind, if I nm telling an untruth." When sentenced he snld: "That ain't too much; that's all right." AN ACCOMPLISHED ROGUE IS ARTHUR BENTLEY WORTHING- TON APOSTLE OF THE TRUTH. ARRESTED IN AUSTRALIA RECENTLY AT HIS OLD TRICKS. Chicago, Nov. 7.—Advices from Australia tell of the arrest there of Arthur Benlley Worthlngton on the* charge of obtaining a large sum of money by false pretences from a woman wbo had become Interested in his teachings and work as leader of a spiritualistic movement called "Students of Truth." These advices give the local police their flrst Information us to the whereabouts of a man wbo, a quarter of a century ago, was one of tho best known criminals ln the United States, but of whom nothing has been beard of known for many years. Worthlngton was variously known In this country us lawyer, banker, political orator, real estate operator, spiritualist, litterateur, mining speculator und organizer, bigamist and confidence mun generally. Many of tbe confidence gumes now well known to the general public were originated by him aud he Is known to huve made thousands of dollars out of bis schemes. The police records of thirty aud forty years ago show that he operated extensively ln New York, Pennsylvania, Mussuchufletts, Ohio, Illinois, Wisconsin, Texas, Utah, Kansas* California, West Virginia, Georgia and Washington. Ho appears to have beeu bom lu New York state, ln 1847 or 1818, Ids real name being Samuel Oakley Crawford. He enlisted In the Union army ln 1801, reappeared after the war wus over as a temperance lecturer, studied law. for a short time, but iu 18C7 professed religion and preached as a Methodist minister lu JNew Jersey. Iu 1868 he married his first wife, one Joscphluo flrlcsbn Moore. The following year he deserted his wife and infant daughter, und shortly after turned up In Albany. There he obtained a large sum of money from an ignorant farmer, was arrested, in 1870 was sentenced to three years In the penitentiary . When he was released he was fairly launched on bis career of crime. In 1874 he married (No. 2), In Chicago, the daughter uf a Doston clairvoyant, whom he speedily deserted, for later In the same year he wus In Ohio getting married to No. 3, who was the daughter of a well- known judge, whose name be forged to n note for $3,000. Kansas City afforded him now as "Eugene Bonner," a brief rcfugo from these compllcallons curly ln 1875, but be loft his shelter with a reward of $50 offered for ids capture. A brief period of law work in Peoria, under the patronage of a loading light of a Christian association, was Interrupted by the expostulations of wife No. 2, which ended In hit* flight to Sun FniticiBco. Here marriage with n wealthy widow, of whom ho had borrowed a trifle of $2,000, was dramatically frustrated by the receipt of a telegram us the ceremony was beginning, and the buffled but persevering bridegroom sought a more congenial sphere in Salt Lake city, where he became a Merman, is said to have preached In the Temple, und got a way to Texas In 1875, with great expedition and the best pnrt of $5,000 lent by the confiding followers of Brlghum Young. In 1878. the apostle of Truth hud found it well to remove to Detroit, where ho Joined a travelling company of actors. In this city, ngain, in me sumo year, ho married (No. it, a Miss Eliza Huntoon, under the nnme of ''Bannerton." Abandoning tbe stage he settled lu New Lisbon, Wisconsin, where he practiced ns a lawyer for somo time. When an Indictment for forgery was found against him Ids partner stood ball tor him, and the prophet escaped leaving wifo No. 4. During 18K2 nnd 1883, the records show- that "Worthlngton" travelled tbo Northwest ns an English tourist, visiting many towns on the Northern' Pacific railway, and cashing drafts for unknown amounts, which proved worthless. In 1683 lie went to Boston, where ho entered Into partnership with a lawyer, and lived in great stylo. Here ho made the acquaintance of a Mrs. John P. Snrgont, a married woman, with a leaning to spiritualism, and the control of some money. Having met her at n. seance the prophet developed great assiduity In spiritualistic studies, nnd iu February, 1886, he Induced the woman to fly wilh him lb West Virginia, leaving hor husband, but not her money, behind.

THE LEAD DUTIES. The condition of the lead mining industry In this province bas been fairly clearly set forth for tbe information of eastern people in the article published in the Montreal Herald, and reproduced in this paper yesterday. Some of the details were inaccurate, but on the whole the article may be snid to have been a lucid explanation of a situation it is essential the eastern people should be made conversant with. The lead producers of Kootenay will gather from this article that there is room yet for a good deal of educational work among tho eastern manufacturers. The fact must bo kept in mind that as a class the eastern manufacturers take a very limited view of industrial and trade questions. Their view may be said to be limited by tho immediate requirements of their special industry. There aro honorable exceptions to this rule but they are not a numerous body, and In all matters affecting the west this condition of mind has to be taken into consideration. Eastern manufacturers look upon tho west as a dumping ground for their products, and that they should he called upon to do anything to assist in the upbuilding of the west is something they do not relish. This spirit has characterized the attitude of the eastern manufacturers upon all questions affecting western development. Of late, owing to the rapid growth of the west, there has been noticeable a disposition to take a more patriotic view of these questions hut tho patriotism of our eastern manufacturers is largely of the pocket variety. That thero will be changes In the tariff on lead and lead products this coming session of parliament is practically a foregone conclusion. It is now tho part of those most concerned to see that such changes as nre made nre of a nature bost calculated to promote the lead mining Industry, So fnr there is no indication of any desire upon tiie part of the lead mine operators to present their views on the subject to Mr. Galliher, at least no notice of a meeting being called for the purpose has yet been made public. It Is important that any discussion of the subject should take plnce with ns littlo delay as possible. Already, no doubt, the ministers nro busy on tho revision of the tariff, and if due consideration is to be given to British Columbia's claims tho facta should he mado available for tbe ministers ns soon as possible. There are other tariff matters affecting the mining Industry besides the lend duties which should bo brought to tho attention of the ministers in the most, authoritative manner. We refer to the needed reduction or removal of duties upon many of the articles entering Into tho cost, of mining. ROSSLAND'S PUTUItE. Anyone wbo was in Rossland early In tlio week could nol have helped remarking tho number nf unpleasant rumors which were flying about the camp nnd the unoasy feeling everywhere ln evidence. No one seemed to know tho real source of the trouble, or what it was that frightened tlie good people of thnt once complacent camp, but of vague rumors there were no end. The statement made by manager Mackenzie of the Lc Roi. which appeared in yesterday's issue, must have had a quieting effect upon the nervous citizens, who are probably wondering today as to the bausa of their scare. As a matter of fact Rossland people from one cause or another have been under an almost continuous strain for some months, and small occurrences which today are mado much of, would have passed by unheeded a short time back, Mr. Mackenzie spoke for Lhe Le Roi and spoke in no uncertain way, but in a manner which must bave convinced Rosslanders that the street rumors had absolutely no foundation in fact, so far at least as the premier mine of the camp was concerned, and the cheery wordB of counsel, with which tbe manager closed his interview, have doubtless had their desired effect. Ore shipments are to he maintained right along, and there is far more high- grade ore In the mine than was at first estimated. When the financial condition of the compnuy is in proper, shape the mine will ship to its full capacity, but at present the Le Roi is bolng mined for its high grade ore. The temporary closing down of the Jose and the No. 1, constituting Le Roi No. 2, merely foreshadows the amalgamation of this company with the Le Roi, as the English papers now openly assert, and an early resumption of work under new conditions can shortly he not unreasonably looked for, The War Eagle and Centre Star are sending down about 12,000 tons of ore per month to Trail and Mr. Blackstock has stated that this amount will shortly be doubled. The Rossland Great Western, Kootenay Mines, Giant, White Bear, Green Mountain, Homestake and some other properties are all being actively developed, so that the camp's outlook for the coming winter should cause no anxiety. Rossland is very much all right, and Mackenzie is the Prophet, EDITORIAL NOTES. Notwithstanding the many denials that have been made, it is now a well- known fact that another big combine Is being arranged In the United States, this time to control the beef market. Two bites are to be made of this cherry; the packers combining llrst and tbe stock yards next. Tlie packers combine has a capital of $500,000,000 and tbe stock yards will have another $100,000,000. The intention is of course lo raise the price of food. These combines are not made for the benefit of the people, they are not Intended to cut down prices and to diminish profits, but tlie reverse. The common herd are entirely at the mercy of these trusts, which do injury and Injustice enough when tbey concern such things as iron nnd steel and coal oil, but now that the food necessary for the sustenance of the millions who must eat, and to whom meat is an essential part of diet, is attacked, the injury done is intensified. There is money in these combines for some one, and Plerpont Morgan seems to have reaped the lion's share of it. Ten million dollars for the beef trust is not a bad fee, but he did better out of the steel combine, which netted him 120,340,000. Others have raised his income from this source to something over $50,000,000 for Ibis year alone. Sir William Van Home reports rapid progress being made on the construction of the Cuban railway. It is practically completed and is expected lo be opened for traffic on the 17th or 21th of next month. The main line from Santiago to Santa Clara Is 355 miles long. It runs through a magnificent timber and agricultural country all-the way., It Is a standard American railway with equipment similar to that of the best railways in the north. Its bridges are of steel and masonry, and it will be a first- class line in all respects. Speaking of present conditions in Cuba, Van Home said: "Cubans owe nothing nnd are living quite within their income. The new government is a most conservative one and will disprove the Idea that the Cubans are Incapable of governing themselves. Peace and quiet prevail throughout the Island. It Is as peaceful ns the rural districts of Canada. The rights of property are as well respected as in any part of the world and no Individual of whatever nationality can complain of discrimination in any form." Edward Spenser Beesly, a London university professor, and editor of the Posltivlst Roviow, has somo queer notions regarding Canada's relations with Great Britain. Ho quoins president Roosevelt in support of bis argument. This is what ho says: "The British flag fs out of place on the American continent, whence it will have lo go before long. How long will Canada be content to stand aloof from the state system, to Which It naturally belongs? I am not speaking of annexation to the United States, which is neither desirable nor probable. English publicists who' ore anxiously trying to persuade themselves that tho Monroe doctrine is a guaranty of tho status quo should mediate on the following opinions once expressed by president Roosevelt: 'Americans regard Canadians with the good- natured condescension felt, by freemen for men who are not free. Every true patriot, every man and statesman alike, looks forward to the day when no European power will hold a foot of American soil.' These words are not empty swagger, but sober truth. They should gove no offence to Englishmen, for the connection of Great Britain with Canada is an ever-present and uncompensated danger from which if we are wise we will lose no time in disentangling ourselves."

LORD HAMILTON IS HOPEFUL CHAIRMAN OF HALL MINING & SMELTING COMPANY PREDICTS GENERAL IMPROVEMENT IN THEIR BUSINESS. Below is a reprint from the London Financial Times, of the speech uf the ] clinlrmnn, lord Ernest Hamilton, at the j recent ordinary general meeting of the ! Hall Mining & Smelting Company, i Limited: Tiie chairman said thnt In submitting tlio report nnd balance sheet for the pnst year ho had to express regret thnt the figures shown in the balance sheet were not better thnn they were, but this wns due to tlie fact that tbe mine hnd to be shut down, unfortunately at a time when tho smelting business was in n much moro precarious anil uncertain state than it wns nt tho present moment Ho hoped to he able to show thnt under tlie more favorable conditions which existed the smelting business could be made to pay a respectable and permanent return on the amount which was • put up under the reconstruction scheme, Dealing with the mino, nt the Inst meeting he stated that the ultimate success of the mine as a lasting concern de- ponded on the cutting of the ore body at tbe ninth and tenth levels, ami that captain Gilford held the opinion thnt tho probabilities were strongly In favor of cutting the ore body at both these levels. That was more or less a guarded statement, but at the time he mnde it there was not the slightest doubt in the minds of any of the directors that tho oro body would be Intersected at tlio ninth and tenth levels. This boiler waH based on Information received from the other side; In fact, at one time captnln Gifford cabled that he had actually intercepted the ore body nt lhe tenth level, and when they received that news they naturally looked upon the future of the mine as assured. But after waiting vainly for some time for confirmation of the news they learned, to tholr intense disappointment, that the new find had been nothing but a few stringers that had pinched out after a few feet of driving. Captain Gifford prospected in every direction in order to try nnd pick out the missing ore body, but without success, and finally he recommended the stoping out of the ore in tho upper levels and the gradual shutting down of the mine. The directors subsequently made arrangements with Bernard McDonald, who was at Rossland, to inspect the mine. He did so, and corroborated in every particular captain Gifford's opinion, stating thnt the end of the deposit had been reached and lhat it would simply be a waste of money to carry on further exploration. Tills was a very severe blow to the directors, but It was evident that nothing remained but to close down tbe mine ns quickly as possible, and this determination was communicated to the shareholders In a circular issued Inst April. However, they wero still very unwilling to leave any stone unturned while there remained the slightest glimmer of hope that thero was anything in the mine, and accordingly they made arrangements with Oilman Brown a mining expert of very high standing In San Francisco,, to visit the mine. That gentleman did so, and corroborated everything the other two experts had said, and tho mine waB closed down. The directors subsequently made arrangements with Mr. Davys, who was formerly superintendent of tbe mine, and who still believed there were bodies of ore •there which had heen undiscovered, to work tha mine on tribute and pay them a royalty on anything he produced. This appeared to be a very good arrangement for the company, because It cost them absolutely nothing, aud in the event of its making a good Hnd it might he a source of very considerable income to the company. With regard to the terms, on all ores of the gross value of $20 they would receive u royalty of 7 1-2 per cent; and on all ore of less value they would receive a smaller commission. They also retained the right to re-enter upon possession at auy time should the output reach 5(1 tons a day. The board received information on the previous day that Mr. Davys hud ln sight 5,000 tons of ore of un estimated value of $40,000. That was all they knew; either he had found something which captain Gifford overlooked, or else the ore was left in the slopes inadvertently by enptain Gilford. The directors calculated that their profit upon this ore would equal Mr. Davys', by means of the royalty which he hud to pay, in addition to the smelting charges. Turning to the smelting business, the smelting account this year showed a profit, of something over £5,000, and tho fact that this profit has been made in a year which had probably been the worst ever known for smelting business generally in British Columbia, spoke very highly for the fact that under the more favorable conditions which existed at the present moment there was tlie prospect of a good profit from the smelting business and a return on the amount which wns put up under the reconstruction scheme. With regard to that money, he believed he was right in saying that it was put up in view ot the reasonable expectation of finding more ore in the mine. If the ore body bad been intersected at the ninth and tenth levels this expectation would have been fully realized, and there was uo doubt that the money put up would have been fully returned, but it was not found there, and consequently the mining accounts showed up badly. The sinking of 200 feet of shaft at depths ol 900 and 1,000 feet was a very expensive operation, and the cutting of stations, driving, prospecting and boring at the levels from those stations ,and the fact that the ore body was not discovered at those levels made it necessary to write off the whole of the £19,000, which in last year's balance sheet was set against ore In the mine blocked out but not yet mined. In other words, the sinking of the shaft had been a very heavy loss, but this was one of the misfortunes .which were inseparable from all mining operations. He wished to try and show the shareholders that in spite of the fact that the mine hnd been shut down they were not yet done with as n company and as a dividend paying concern. Last year the smelting profit was something like £500; this year it is over £5,000. That profit had been made In the face of extraordinarily disadvantageous circumstances, and that fact pointed very favorably to possibilities for the future. There were several other reasons for hope. In the first place, the Silver King ore waB not a profitable ore to treat; It was practically forced upon the smelter for family reasons. It was not a suitable, cheap or easy ore to smelt, and the rates at which they made the smelter take it left practically no margin of profit. Then In addition they had had to meet a very heavy loss with regard to their purchased ores owing to the fall In the price of metals. That risk was now practically eliminated from their operations owing to the system which they had adopted, by which final settlement was made at prices ruling three months after the date of purchase. Although this system had been In existence practically during the whole of the financial year, it must be remembered that there was at the beginning of the year a large stock of ore on hand to which this system did not apply, and on which consequently there had been a very heavy loss. The management estimated that the loss from this cause alone was over £0,000. Then they had had to reduce their treatment charges in order to encourage the output from certain lead mines, which otherwise, owing to tlie distressed condition of the metal market would havo had to shut down, and would have left them stranded for a regular supply of ore. The slightest recovery in the metal market would give an immense stimulus to the business generally in British Columbia. Another bull point was that they had established electric plant on their works, by means of which the working expenses wore very considerably reduced. Then, again, they had made a better arrangement with regard to the supply of fluxing ores than they had ever been able to do since the commencement of operations. A COMBINATION NOT A TRUST yes Its a fact that a combination of brains and money have produced a combination that is unequalled In COMBINATION SUITS (or those who wnnt the bost. All stas, all • mutorlals, nit dealers, • • The Knit-to-Fit Mfg. Co. f Manufactured by- G13 Lngnuchotlere Street, Montreal. This wns n matter of extraordinary Importance lo them; In 1'act, the whole success of their smelting operations ilepentM upon It. Then they looked to the government, which hud, so far, neglected the Interests of tho mines und smellers in British Columbia, to assist I hem in some degree. They had offered a bonus for a lend refinery In Canada, and un experimental plant hnd already been put up. If It proved a success, u larger plant would ho installed, which would be able to deal with the whole ol their matte, and enable them to save the very heavy freight lo New York. In addition to this, they might look forward to the cheapening of labor, fuel and freight. These tilings would bo brought about not. by an extraordinary miracle, but by the natural laws which governed all new countries. It was, perhaps, too much to expect that all the good things he had foreshadowed would tnke place at once, but he bad no doubt that In course of time they would. In the meantime, they wanted one or two of them to occur, so as to enable them to gradually build up a sound and expanding business. In conclusion, he thought, that his co-directors would agree with him that It was difficult to speak in too high terms of the zeal and energy with which their representatives on the other side had served them during the past year, and that In face of the most disheartening difficulties nnd obstacles. If they hnd been less energetically and ably served tho smelting account for the past yenr would not show up nearly so well as It did at present. With regard to the retiring directors, they had come to the conclusion that It was desirable to reduce the standing expenses as much ns possible, and thnt for the purpose of conducting the business of the company three directors were sufficient They had, therefore, determined to reduce their number to three, which involved the retirement of two members of the board. After this meeting a hoard meeting would be hold, at which two of Ihe directors would retire. Tlie clinlrmnn then formally moved the adoption or the report and balance sheet. Mr. George Freeman seconded Ihe motion, which was carried unanimously. The auditor, Harry Barker, was reelected, and the proceedings then terminated. NEW CANNERY COMBINE. When D. a.

TALKS TO LONDON PRESS THE LE ROI ALL RIGHT. IS SILENT ON AMALGAMATION WITH LE ROI. J. B. Lenrmont, of the firm of Caverhlll, Learmont & Company, who, has been spending the lust few days In Nelson, leaves tbls monrlng for tho east by the Crow's Nest boat. Mr. Lenrmont's firm is ono of the largest wholesale hardware and metal concerns of tbc cast, nnd while Ids present trip is primarily for health and pleasure he Is keenly Interested In trade conditions throughout the Kootenays, He stated to a representative of The Daily News that this was the first time be hud visited British Columbia, and that the trip had been a revelation to him. From what travellers had Bald ns to the slackness of business here during the past year and from what ho had been reading In the* east, he, with many other business men, had formed the opinion that the mines out hero were not rich enough to work at a profit except under peculiarly favorable circumstances. This vlow ns far as be was concerned bad boon greatly altered as be had begun to see that the present mining situation wns much more complex than be had had any idea of. Tlm lend question In particular assumed quite a different aspect when viewed odt here from the accepted view In the enst. He did not pretend to say how It could be solved bul wns more in favor of a bounty, from what he bad heard while here, than an Increased duty, which would tie strongly opposed In certain quarters. As far as the scenery was Concerned he hnd never seen anything to bo compared with it, Nelson particularly, wus the prettiest lown ho had ever visited. Mr. A. F. Labouchere, the secretary of the LeUol No. 2 compuny, has been talking to the London Press anent the recent drop In the price of the shares. According to one publication the secretary explained that Mr. Bernard Macdonald's contract with the company had expired last year and hud not been renewed and although tho last annual report had been signed by that gentleman as general manager the position at that time, and since had been held by a Mr. William Thompson, Mr. Mncdonnld being really only the company's consulting engineer and the secretary added that the board had full confidence in Mr. Thompson's ability. On tho question of amalgamation with the Le Roi proper Mr. Labouchere maintained a discreet silence and suld that be was not at liberty to make any statement and as mining men on this side of the water regard the consolidation question as tho explanation of the present sluutlon In London the refusal of the secretary to speak Is significant of the real state of affairs, Regarding tbe existing condition of the mine (which lias since closed down for the tlmo being) Mr. Labouchere Is quoted as saying: "Tlie decreased returns are due to the intrusive dyke met with In tbe mine from which tbe principal ore supplies have been obtained, and partly to the fact that the company, acting on a suggestion from the other side, has discontinued for the present shipping such a large proportion of the highest grade ore, pending either a rise tn the price of copper or the obtaining of working conditions which will show a lurger margin of profit. As regards the dyke, tt is assumed that tnls obstruction, which occurs above the 500 feot level, will prove to be only of a temporary nature, but even if this Is not the case the dyke certainly docs not intefrere with the lower levels, on which development Is being vigorously conducted. It Is expected that within three or four months it will be possible .for the company to stope ore from the 900 foot level, where the ore body Is high grade and shows a stripping width of 15 feet. In the meantime the oro taken from tho 500 foot level will probably be made to- average better by being mixed with ore stoped from another pnrt of tbe property." The secretary is of the opinion that working expenses will show an improvement in the nenr future. THOSE DEADLY CIGARETTES.
