POWEB BY-LAW
IS
m
Electric Light Rates Must
be Fixed First
By-Law for that Purpose to
be Introduced
At the meeting of the city council Inst
evening lhe power by-law was again passed
on till next meeting as It wns discovered
lhat a by-law tn llx the rate to be chnrged
for the electric light service would have to
ha passed first. To borrow money under the
amended Municipal Clauses uct, which provides that the revenue from » public utility
cnn be pledged ns security, those revenues
hnvo to be collectable by law, as the water
rate Is nt present.
At the opening of the meeting a letter
was read from A. V. Mason, from tho Nelson Electric Tramway compnny, staling
that with further reference to the operation of the tramway, "and to our president's letter which was laid beforo you on
the Sth Instant; I am directed to write nnd
nsk you to lay this before the council
tonight, nnd I trust that It will have tholr
full consideration. Wo huve received n
cable from our London offlcers instructing
us to continue,operations, and the local
board havo every hope that the continuation will bo permanent."
Tho rending of the letter was not deemed
altogether satisfactory to the council, as
it wns not considered a delhtilc answer.
Whnt thoy wanted to know was what the
company Intended lo do, and not ns to
what the local board hoped lo do. Aid,
Selous snld that judging from appearances
that the London hoard had not yet met
lo consider tho mntter, hut as they had
received full notice of the city's Intentions
nt the time of lhe piissing or the bylaw regarding the length of time they would be
allowed to cease operations without forfeiting their charter he thought that by,
tho Instructions Iho local board had received they evidently Intended to keep on
■•ii nn ing.
Aid. Morrison snld thnt to bring the mat-
tor to a hend, and have a satisfactory understanding arrived at he would presont a
motion to the effect Unit the company's
charter hnd been forfeited and that lhe
company he required to furnish Mtno
guiininlee or n continuous service If allowed tu keep on. A motion was accordingly
drafted and seconded by Aid. Irving, and
being put to the vote passed unanimously.
A letter was read from lhe city auditor
stating that he was holding hack the report of lhe quarter ending September aoth
till such times ns the tax accounts were
completed.
Payrolls amounting to $260.73 and $315.25
respectively for the city staff and lire
brigade wero approved and instructions
given for the cheipies to ho issued.
Aid. Irving gave notice of his intention
ut tho next meeting of the council lo submit n bylaw fixing the eletrlc light rates.
Ho also read a letter which he had received from the elty solicitor notifying him
that such a bylaw would havo lo bo prepared and submitted lo the people before
the power bylaw could be voted on. The
letter cnused a long discussion over the
Municipal Clauses net, and the portions
bearing on the proposed action of the city
in borrowing money sufficient for the Installation of an electric power plant.
Enough of the rates have to be secured
to pay the Interest nnd sinking fund on the
amount to be borrowed, and to show that
this Is possible a Ilxed rate has to be
struck, under the present arrangement
tlio city turns oft the light after a certain
nmount of arrears have accumulated, but
this is not sufllclent security for the collection of the rales to borrow money on.
Of course the cily Is responsible for the
mtes, ns ft collects them, but at the same
time to borrow It has to show that the
corporation has the legal right and power
to collect.
Tho city engineer pointed out on a map
of the city nnd suburbs the places It was
proposed to extend the limits to. Some opposition has arisen on one of the streets
as the residents object to paying the
scavenger rates lhat they will bo compelled
lo after their premises are included within the city limits.
Aid. Selous gave notice that nt the nex'
meeting of the city council he would bring
In two bylaws, one to regulate Inundries,
nnd the other regarding tlie shockers on
the foreshore of the Inko.
In tho first of these It Is stated that on
nnd after the dute on which tho bylaw
comes Into force Inundries may be established and operated In the city of Nelson
within the following limits, viz.: On that
part of the foreshore of the west arm of
Kootenay lake lying Immediately In front
of block "4 between Cedar and Park
streets; that after the said date no laundry
shall be operated within the city unless the
sumo be properly connected with tho city's
wnter mains and tho city's sewerage system, and ample provision shall be made to
the satisfaction of the. cily medical health
officer for the drainage of all slops and
materials used in wnslilng into the sowers
of the snld city; thnt nil buildings used as
public washlmiises shall be fitted with proper ventilating pipes or shafts of n size of
nt lenst twelve Inches In diameter, which
slinll bo carried nbove Ihe mnin rnnf, the
opening of such' pipe or shnft shall be nt
lenst 20 feet from any opening or window
In said.building, or In nny ndjolnlng building, so Hint all steams or odors mny have
full access to lhe outer air. Aftor several
unimportant provisions it goes on to state,
that nfter tho date mentioned, "No person shall wash, dry or air clothes, linen, or
other materials (if n like nature in lhe
ppen air In any part of the city of Nelson
within forty feet of any street or highway
of suid city."
Tlie other bylaw declares that all buildings of nny kind whatsoever now on the
foreshore, of the west nrm of Kootenay
lake between the west frontuge of Ward
street and the eastern boundary line of
lot 95, group 1, and the land covered by the
lake 200. feet out from the extreme low
water mark, except on land granted to
the C. St K. railway and the Nelson Saw
St Planing mills, are nuisances and dangerous tu public lieiilih nnd lhe chief of
police and sanitary inspector for Nelson
aro hereby authorized to take all necessary
steps to remove or cause lo he removed
the said buildings, or any of them.
Notice was given by Aid. Morrison that
the committee appointed to look after the
sale of the city horses that wero not needed
hud closed a deal with A. Stewnrt, soiling
the team with full harness for ?200, on
terms which the city considered satisfactory.
There were no other matters on the list,
but before the motion to adjourn was passed Aid. Scanlan said that there was a
matter ho wished to bring up, and to have
the council express Itself on. It was as to
whether deliberations of committees of
council held In private were supposed to be
hawked around the streets, This wns not
a new matter, it had occurred frccniontly,
but should be put a stop to nt once. At
these meetings, being private, a member
was liable to express himself a good deal
stronger than would occur at a public
meeting. This wns especially tho ease
when arrears of city dues were being gone
over. It wns the duty of the alderman at
such times to remember that they were
working in the city's Interests nlone, and
that personal considerations should have
no bearing. Now, he knew that remarks
mnde nt the lust mooting by himself bud
been cnrrled direct to the person alluded
lo, und that In a manner that placed him
in an entirely false light. When the committee hnd decided on action and an employee of the city was senl to collect a
bill it was his duty to say thnt he hnd
been sent by tho committeo or council
with whatever the message was. It was
not, however, his plnce to tell the person
whnt uldermun Scanlan or nny other alderman said regarding Hie nccount or person.
Mayor Fletcher—Certainly the committee
meetings are supposed to be private.
Aid. Irving—They aro not private,
whether they are supposed to bo or not. I
know of statements being circulated immediately after such a meeting when tho
only persons present besides the commltteo
were the cily clerk and Mr. Macleod, 1 hero
glvo notlco that at the next meeting of the
council it is my Intention to make a motion
calling for the dismissal of Mr. Macleod.
The question was discussed at some
length, lhe opinion being expressed that
while Mr. Mncleod's duty was frequently a
very unpleasant one, yet he had no right
lo shift the responsibility from tho committee lo any special aldermnn as lie wns
accused of having done.
THE   MOLINEAUX   TRIAL.
Continued Yesterday With the Dead
Woman's Daughter as Witness.
Now York, Oct. 27.—Tho trial of Roland
11. Mollneaux was continued today. Mrs.
Rogers, daughter of the dead womnn,
answering Mr. Osborne's questions, told
of her going to tho theatre with her mother
on the night of December 27th, of her
mother's headache in the morning, and of
her appeal to Cornish for a draught of
his bromo-seltzer. She told of the giving
of the poisoned drink to Mrs. Adams and
of her almost Immediate collopse, To the
counsel for the defense, Mrs, Rogers said
that her relationship to Cornish is by
marriage, nnd not by blood. She said sho
hnd known Cornish nearly nil her life,
und that tho separation from her husband
occurred a couple of months after Cornish
came to New York, wns only n coincidence.
Mrs. Rogers denied absolutely that her
mother ever hired a letter box from Daniel
Callahan, who said last week that sho did.
She declared that she and her mother
kopt no secrets from each other. Mrs.
Rogers said that she hnd a private letter
box once under nn assumed name, she
hired it from David Murdock, of 603 Columbia avenue. Counsel were arguing whether
Mrs. Rogers should or should not be asked
to Identify Cornish's handwriting whon an
adjournment was taken.
LOCOMOTIVES  FROM GLASGOW.
The Canadian Pacific Railway Has Placed
an Order For Ton.
Montreal, Oct. 27.—Unable to secure the
promised delivery of urgently required
motive power from either American or
Canndian builders, tho Canadian Pacillc
railway hns plnced an order with a Glasgow llrm of locomotive builders for ten
lurge locomotives. Theso will bo tho first
locomotives imported into Canada from
Great Britain In nearly half a century.
THE TARTE INCIDENT.
Toronto, Oct. 27.—The Telegram's special
cable from London says: The Dully Chronicle this morning snys that Canada promises to be prolific In political complications
lu tbe near future. So far the Indications
point only to a half-hearted alliance between Tarto and Bordon, but unfortunately
for the cause of llscul freedom the Canadian freo trade party is not strong nor
courageous enough to put their principles
In to full practical force.
The Liverpool Post on Saturday, referring lo the British subsidy for the proposed Canadian fast line, says that as
tho Chamber of Shipping of the United
Kingdom camo forward to uppose such n
policy in Its Initial stage, it is certain that
the new departure should not be taken
without a very clear knowledge of what
It Involves.
EVIL EFFECT OF GOSSIP.
Havelock, Ont., Oct. 27.—Mrs, Fred Glynn,

Commission Now at Work
Plan of Procedure Discussed by the Operators' and
Miners' Representatives at Yesterday's Session
Washington, Oct. 27.—The anthracite
coal strike commission today, In the
hearing room of the Interstate commerce commission, held Its first conference with the parties to the controversy
in the anthracite regions. There was a
full representation of hoth operators
and miners, and members of the press,
and other interested parties were presont. The commission occupied the elevated seats generally Blled by members
of the Interstate commission. Judge
Gray, ns chairman, occupied the centre
seat, and Messrs. Wright, Wntkins and
Clark the seats to the right of him, in
the order named, while Mr. Wilson,
bishop Spauldlng and Mr. Parker sat on
the left, in the order ot their names.
The proceedings covered about two
hours' time, and were given up entirely
to a discussion of the time and method
of proceeding with the proposed Investigation. The commission decided to
begin work next Thursday morning at
9 o'clock. The first days of the investigation are to be devoted to an examination of the mines and homes of the
miners, starting in the vicinity of
Scranton, The entire anthracite field
will be covered. There was considerable discussion over a proposition mndo
by the commission to have expert accountants appointed to audit the statements of wages, and the classifying of
miners to be made by the operators for
the use of the commission, but no
result was reached on this point beyond
the announcement by the chairman of
the commission's Intention to appoint
such accountants in case their services
should be found necessary.
During the progress of tho meeting,
Mr. Mitchell, as the representative of the
miners, presented a copy of the original
declaration of the miners, as formulated by the Shamokin convention, as the
basis of demands of the miners. This
demnnd is, llrst, for an increase of 20
per cent In wages of those not engaged
by tho day; second, a reduction of 20
per cent In working hours of those engaged by the day; third, the payment for
coal mined by weight at n minimum rate
of 00 cents per ton of 2,210 pounds;
fourth ,a wage agreement between the
operators and the miners tor adjustment
of wages.
Washington, Oct. 27.—Before the
opening of the arbitration proceedings
this morning, tho members of the commission and the representatives of the
contesting parties were photographed.
Judge Gray, chairman of the commission, then read the order of the president creating tho commission, and ln
a general way outlined the procedure to
be followed In the presentation of the
Issues. He said that hi accordance with
the Immemorial practice among English
speaking people, Ihe commission would
first receive the. statements or demands
of the miners who were to be regarded,
for the purposes of this case, as the
■prosecutors. The reply of the other
side would then be heard, In order thnt
the commission might have beforo it n
definite issue. At the conclusion of
Judge Gray's remarks president Mitchell
said that he had with him the formal
demands made by the miners upon the
operators. At the suggestion of Judge
Gray, he read the demands adopted by
the Shomokin convention, the rejection
of which resulted in the strike.
Walter Edward Weile was also present
as a repreRentntlve of the miners.
President Baer objected to the ap-
poarance of Mr. Mitchell as a representative ot the Mine Workers of Amerlcn,
but snld he had no objection to Mr. Mitchell's appearance as a representative
of the anthracite coal miners generally.
Mr. Baer's objection was to avoid the
recognition of Iho Mine Workers union
as an order. Mr. Mitchell replied that
tho objection as to his status wns not
Involved ln the case. He snld that he
appeared as a representative of tho anthracite coal miners, nnd distinctly refrained in bis reply from mentioning
the union.
Tho commission made no attempt to
settle tho controversy, but it was apparent that the recognition of the miners'
union would be nn Important nnd
knotty problem for the arbitrators.
Presidents Bnor and Thomas suggest
ed that the commission proceed at once
to the coal fields in order that it might
bo Informed at the outset as to the
conditions there. It was agreed that
Mr, Mitchell should Hie with the commission next Monday a detailed statement of the claims of the miners. The
statement he read today whs a preliminary statement of the case.! Tho representatives of the operators! announced
that they would file nn answer to this
detailed statement of Mt. Mitchell's
within three days of its presentation.
It was suggested that each side to the
controversy appoint an expert to go
through the books of. the coal companies to secure data upon which to
work.   '
But president Baer and the other
representatives of the companies Immediately objected and suggested thnt they
would furnish whatever information It
needed. This question precipitated a
long discussion, in which the coal presidents and the miners' representatives
took part. The commission adjourned
to meet In Scranton next Thursday
morning. Before adjourning it was
agreed that the operators shall submit
sworn statements as to their payrolls,
etc., and that Mr. Mitchell shall have
an opportunity of verifying them
through the miners. If discrepancies
nre found it was agreed the commission shall appoint an auditor, whose
findings shall govern the commission.
Preceding the discussion ovec.open-
enlng the books to the experts, Mr.
Baer said the operators would be arm
pared to meet the miners in the region
and to assist In giving all information.
Mnny of the indvdual operators were
not represented and they were not consulted and were not compromised by
the letter he had written.
Judge Gray suggested that thoy could
be represented. At tne meeting to be,
held Monday they would determine
which of tho companies could be taken
up first nnd the place of meeting could
be determined by the location of the
coal company selected.
Mr. Baer said that the case of each
coal company should be dealt with sep-
arately. Ho would contend for the
sliding scale In the regulation of wages.
"I shall urge the adoption of the profit
shaving plan," he said, "which gave us
peace formerly in our relation to our
employees."
Mr. Thomns, of tho Hillside Iron Sc
Coal company and the Pennsylvania
Coal company, said he noticed that the
term "arbitration" had been applied to
the commission's work, while he wanted
it considered as an investigation.
Judge Gray said tho president's Instructions settled it as an arbitration.
Mr. Thomns also urged that the conditions In each of tho mining companies
wero different, nnd could only be considered separately. Ho thought more
progress could be made by nn examination of the coal region. Ho thought aa
many of the interests Involved In the
controversy were represented in New
York some of the hearings should bo
held ln that city.
Tiro suggestion that both sides appoint experts to examine the books of
the companies was made by judge Gray,
the chairman of the commission. Mr.
Baer afterwards expressed his disinclination to accept this suggestion. He
said that his company would submit
their payrolls under oath of their accountant. He said they had now 70
clerks working day and night compiling
duta for the commission.
President Mitchell said thnt It would
facilitate the work of tho commission if
it would accept a general statement on
those issues that affect all the companies and the mine workers alike, for
instance the question of shorter hours.
Mr. Truesdalo suld that his company
had a plan by which tt wns hoped to
speedily adjust the differences between
his company nnd the men. His plan was
for tho miners to appoint a commission
to meet a commission of his company
nnd discuss their grevances, and if
there were any such that could not bo
settled, then those Issues should go before the commission for final arbitration.
Mr. Mitchell snid that ho would not
be Insistent on this subject, and, turning to Mr. Baer, said: "If wo are able to
agree as to what rates are paid for different classes of workmen, the monthly
and annual earnings, that would form a
basis of any arguments that might be
made on either side."
Judge Gray expressed the opinion that
it would be a criminal waste of time to
dispute over facts that could be veritably and accurately ascertained without
dispute. "When once ascertained," he
said, "their interpretation is another
thins."
Mr. Mitchell declared that it was his
desire to facilitate matters and that
there should be mutual agreement on
the facts, and that controversies should
bo eliminated if possible. "That Is the
only object I have In view," said he,
"in asking that the rates of wages as
shown by the companies' books be verified."
President Baer responded by saying
that the men would know whother the
companies' payrolls were right, and no
issue would arise on that subject.
"Will your statement give the different classes of workmen," inquired Mr.
Mitchell.
"Undoubtedly," said Mr. Boer.
After further controversy between the
members of the commission and the
miners and mine representatives, judge
Gray modified his suggestion, this time
putting it in the shape of a propostioh
that only nn expert accountnnt bo appointed who should analyse the facts
for the consideration of the commission. Mr. Baer promptly accepted the suggestion, and Mr. Mitchell followed suit.
After a.brief explanntion on his part,
chairman Gray announced that the
commission for the present would proceed without appointing nn expert, but
that It would require that statements
| be? presented, and added that an accountant could be secured in case it
wns found his services were needed,
The question of the examination by the
commission into the conditions into
which tho mining of anthracite coal is
conducted was then entered on, and Mr.
Watklns, of the commission, suggested
thnt a week or ten days' time would be
necessary in order to make adequate
examination of the physical conditions
about the mines. He appealed to Mr.
Thomas for his opinion ns to tlio lime
j necessary, and that gentleman replied:
I "You will certainly need that much
! time. I should think thai 30 days would
| bo none too little. We've grown grey
In our study of that question,"
Mr. Baer also fell in with the suggestion, saying that it would be Impossible to do justice to tho Investigation
without a complete inspection of tlie
mines and the methods of operating
them. Mr. Mitchell thought that not
only should there be an inspection of
tho mines, but also of the homes of the
miners.
After consulting the members of the
commission president Gray announced
thnt it would begin its inspection next
Thursday, commencing Its work in district (W), ln which the city of Scranton
is located.
While the subject was up, Mr. Bner
said that the mine operators would furnish all the facilities at their command
to enable the commission to make lis
investigalion thorough, adding that they
would plnce a special train at the disposition of the commission, providing
also for the occoinmoilatlon of the representatives of the miners. The public
meeting of the commission came to a
close and the commissioners retired for
tho purpose of private consideration.
They first took up tlie question which
had been rnised by the offer of a special
train by Mr. Baer, nnd immediately decided not to accept the train. Tlie exchange of views brought out the facts
that the commissioners expect personally to pay all of their own expenses,
accepting no favors, and relying on the
government to reimburse them if so disposed. An ngreement was reached to
leave the hotel Jermyn, in Scranton. nt
11 o'clock next Thursday morning for the
first tour of Inspection. There was,
however, no agreement ns to whal mines
should be visited first, that point lining
left for future termination.

Wilkesbarre, Oct. 27.—More coal was
mined nnd moro men were employed In
mining todny than any day since the
mines in tho anthracite regions resumed
work. The only districts that lay behind
ln the output aro Lehigh and Mahanoy.
The Individual operators nnd their employees In these districts are still at
loggerheads. In tlio Wyoming nnd
Lackawanna regions, all the collieries
aro In operation, with the exception of
a few which aro still under water. The
Delaware, Lackawanna & Western, the
Delaware Sc Hudson, the Lehigh Valley,
the Temple Coal Sc Iron Co., tho Lehigh
& Wilkesbarre, the Erie and the Onlnrlo

the strike aro returning in large numbers.
A GREAT LABOR COMBINE
AN   ALLIANCE   BETWEEN   ENGLISH
AND AMERICAN WORKMEN.
FIRST STEP  IN  THE   DIRECTION  OF
UNIVEItSAL FEDERATION.
Loudon, Oet, 27—Important stops have
been taken at the International trades con-
gross here toward the greatest labor combination ever mnde—an offensive und defensive alliance between the English und
American workmen.
Tin.' first slop hnd reference to tho
Pennsylvania coal sirike. Owing to the
(amino In anthracite conl lu America, big
shipments arc being made at Swansea, in
South Wales, in response to American
orders. The American delegates to lhe
trades congress called attention to the
fact.
Patrick Dolon, president of Distrlet No.
5, of the United Mine Workers of America,
said:
"The miners' federation of Oroat Britain
agreed u few weeks ngo to support us to
lhe extent of |BO,000, nnd they have already
mailed $5,000 as u llrst installment; surely
they do not menn lo tnke away wlUj ono
hand  whnt they give with the other.     I
nm afraid this congress thinks a greut
deal more about politics than it does about
labor; politics In fact, dominates everything in It, yet the English dotogatos who
go to America each yenr tell us an entirely different story."
An Informal meeting of the mining delegates to the congress was held to consider
the muticr, nnd the standing counsel to
ihe parliamentary committee of the congress was Invited to attend. Although
much secrecy wns Imposed ns to lhe result
or the meeting, It is stated (lint II was
decided to advise the coul miners and
porters at Swansea lo slop work on American ships.
Charles B. Stanton, a miner's ngent and
delegate from South Wales, on being interrogated mi the subject, said: "Tilts Is
tho first step In a universal fedoratlon of
labor. The Interests of the English and
American workmen are becoming so nearly
Identical that Its consummation cannot be
longer delayed."
On the Inflt day of tho congress the
American delegates laid their views beforo the officials of two of the largest Industries In England—tho miners and the
tin plato workers-and both agreed thnt the
epiestion was ono that required urgent action. The delegates had decided to remain
in England for some time nnd visit some
of ihe importnnt Industrial centers, but
lhe situation of the workers in both coun
tries was considered to be so critical that
It was found expedient for delegate Blakemore,.of Chicago, to return to America at
once.
As a second step toward the Anglo-
American combination, It Is understood
that the tin plate workers of South Wales,
who supply vast quantities of cans to the
Standard Oil company, will come to an
understanding with the American workers
by which one will not undercut the other in
price. It was explained to the South Wales
men that their action ln producing work
for'the Standard company cheaper than It
was done in America was an encouragement to the company to light the American workmen for lower wageB. A working
arrangement between the men employed
ln the two Industries wll) be ratified as
soon as delegate Blakemore can complete
the terms.
HEAVYSHIPMENTS RESUMED
FROM THE GRANBY MINES TO THE
GRAND FORKS SMELTER.
A   THIRD   FURNACE   PUT   IN   BLAST
YESTERDAY.
Phoenix, Oct. 27.—(Special to The Daily
News.)—For flio first time. In several
months heavy shipments were resumed today from the Granby mines to the company's smelter at Grand Forks, at the rate
of 3ti cars each 24 hours, or nearly 1.100 tons
—the third furnace of the smelting works
being put in blast today, only two having
been running lately, llrst au account of
shortage of coke, nnd then because of low
water in the north fork of Kettle river.
As It will probably be but a couple of
weeks till the power from Cascade Is
supplied to the Granby smeltor, as an
auxllliory, probably by thnt time the fourth
furnace of the smelter will be In blast. The
Increase ln shipment of ore and thus In
treatment nt the smelter meuns largely
augmented forces of workmen nt both the
company's mines and reduction wurks,
which will a lillle later be still further Increased.

RICH STRIKE
ON GOLD HILL
Ledge Has Been Cut in the
Long Cross-Cut Tunnel
Gives 300 Feet Depth and a
Considerable Ore Tonnage
One of the most important, mineral
strikes of the year was made last week
on tlie Gold Hill location, at the head ot
Forty-Nine creek. The Gold Hill is a
location of 1896, which was made in the
name of Alexander McDonald, of this
city, and although the locator of the
property pursued his search for the
ledge with the greatest of diligence, It
was generally conceded that the laugh
was upon him and the men whom be
employed. +\n*\
The claim was located upon a very
fine surface showing, assays from tho
cropplngs of which ran well up in the
hundreds of dollars in gold values. With
the first assessment, however, It was
found that there had been a slip, nnd
to give the property a value it becamo
necessary to llnd the ledge in plnce. This
meant a lot of plucky work, but tho
locator of the property was equal to it,
and he commenced a long crosscut for
the lead. This work he commenced In
1898, and year after year ho continued
it until lad week he encountered the
ledge after tbc driving of a tunnel a
distance of between 600 nnd 700 feet.
The showings on lhe surface wore
very encouraging, nnd tho cropplngs
assayed nil the way from ?15 to |300.
many of the specimens carrying speckB
of free gold. The ore also carried some
copper, but assays for this vnlue wero
never made. Whero the ledge was
struck last week It gives a depth of at
least 300 feet, bo thnt tbe property may
be considered fairly well developed, in
that there are bucks opened up which
should give a considerable tonnage.
At the point where the ledge was
struck tho showing was not very promising, but after a few feet of drifting
the ledge widened out. to 2 1-2 feet, of
which 18 inches is mnde up of a very
nice looking roso quartz. The ledge Is
ns nice a one as a man could wish to see.
It cuts the formation almost at right
angles, and on both walls there nre
seams of talcy clay. No assays have as
yet been made on the quartz, but tho
general opinion is that it will run at
least $;iii to the ton, nnd It Is also
thought that the entire ledge matter will
yield a profit upon milling.
The ore will not require to go anything like as high as this to yield a very
handsome profit, as it. is estimated that
with tlie backs developed there is sufficient ore available to mako the owner
rich if the average value of the oro
chute does not exceed $20 to the ton.
Thero are two claims in the group,
which are situated at tlie bead of Forty-
Nine creek, about 12 miles from tho
city, and already there are a number of
enquiries for tho property. It cannot
he said to be in the market, however,
as the owner is of the opinion that he
cnn take out the ore as well as nnyono
else. All that is required is a mill, and
with a depth secured on the property lhe
showing Is BU Indent to warrant the
erection or a mill, and the securing of
vory eusy terms from the manufacturers. Another feature which adds to
the value of the property is the fact
that die ground is remarkably easy to
work. This will admit the milling of
ore of a very low grade.
The work on the property has been
done by Alfred Olson. There was nothing up to date In the workings, and for
weeks pn.it Olson has been trundelllng
his material for the entire length of tho
tunnel In a wheelbarrow. Since tho
ledge has been struck he has taken out
a considerable quantity of ore. It is
doubtful if there is on record a case of
more plucky development of a property,
und Ihe reward for the years of labor la
in keeping with tbe work done.
ALWAYS OPTIMISTIC.
Ex-Governor Mackintosh Takes a Cheerful View of the Future,
Ex-governor Mackintosh, of Rossland,
arrived in Nelson Sunday evening, ou
his way through to tlie northwest from
the coast, and leaves Ihis morning by
the Crow's NVst boat. He states that
Rossland Is picking up considerably,
und that the prospects for the coming
year ure very good. As regards tho
Kootenays generally he believes that tho
problem of cheap treatment of ores in
rapidly approaching a solution, and that
when this is achieved the country will
then lake the place II is entitled to. Regarding the report sent out from tho
coast that he had been lo lhe Crofton
smolter witli the object of arranging
for the treatment of ore from somo of
the Kossland mines, Mr. Mackintosh
said that there was no foundation for
it, beyond the fact that a certain amount of cobalt nnd molybdenite having
been found In the ore of Ihe Giant mine,
he was arranging for shipping this to
Crofton, ns the Trail smelter was not
iittoii for the reduction of such metals.
'He thought thnt copper and gold hearing ores of the Kootenays were bound
to bring It to the front even faster than
stiver and lead, although when the conditions ut present confronting the intter
class of mines hnd been Improved thero
would be a tremendous revival, especU

THE PUBLIC OWNERSHIP IDEA.
The Toronto Mali Is not enamored of
the public ownership idea nnd the
"dreams" of the minister of railways
have evidently scared it very badly. Tho
Mall says that the fact that the minister of railways during his recent western
trip has endorsed a state-owned line to
the Pacific when our net public debt
stands at the present figure, must cause
tho taxpayer many misgivings, and then
asks whether Mr. Blair's statement was
merely a specimen of political kite flying or "are wo on the eve of another
appalling Increase in public expenditure?"
This query follows what is virtually
an attack upon the principle of stute
ownership of railways, the Intercolonial
railway and the Australian lines being
held up ns living witnesses of the folly
of indulging In vain hopes of making
things better thnn they are. We are
gravely informed that those who advocate stato ownership "need not be stigmatized as quacks," and then are warned
that wo must be always vigilantly on
our guard against the person "who
promises us a uew heaven and a new
earth." It Is, ot course, very kind and
good of the Mall to evince such a paternal interest In the peoplo, but It Is very
evident that it does not realize the
meaning of the principle It essnys to
discuss, Can anyone imagine a moro
convincing argument than this, advanced by tho Mail: "To pass over a virtual
dictatorship in public affairs to a huge
body of state employees Is an error
moro serious thnn misapplied bonuses
and high rates. The ono you can reform
the other Is Irreparable" This Is mere
twaddle ond the Mall knows it. The
only reason it speaks on tho matter at
all is to throw cold water upon the idea
of a government line across the continent. Mr. Blair may mean to endeavor to
havo such a line built, nnd wo shall be
glad If ho succeeds In doing so, but it
would by no means follow that the control would pass into the hands of th ■ paid
servants working on It. We notice that
while instance Is made of the Intercolonial—which, by the way, is doing
now what it never did before the present ailmlnstration had the management
of it, serving the people and paying its
way—and the Australian roads, no mention te mnde of tho German railways
nor of thoBO of New Zealand.
But the Mall, perhaps more with tho
Intention of bolstering up its alleged
case than because of any firm belief in
what It advances, docs not regard with
friendly eyes either national or municipal ownership. "Tho truth is," It says,
"that essays In cither national or municipal ownership should he tentative and
experimental If embarked In at all."
The Mall must have run across some
very hiully mnnnged municipalities or
j be grossly Ignorant of the trend of public opinion, begotten not of theory but
of knowledge, of tlie good work achieved
In this direction In so mnny cities In
Canada as well as In Grent Britain. Tho
Midi should take a run over to Glasgow,
for Instance, nnd no one will ncctiso tho
canny Scot of risking tho bawbees In
chiinorlcttl undertakings'! and learn of
what they are doing there. Not tiiilj1
have they acquired a magnificent water
supply and Installed a first-class electric
tramway system (which only makes a
profit of £100,000 annually), hut It runs
its own gas and electric lighting plants,
owns its own telephones, maintains
bath and wash Iioubcs, owns markets,
libraries, museums, art galleries, parks,
slaughter houses, model lodging houses,
employs 10,000 people ln its many services, and owns more than £13,000,000
value in property. Yet this does not
content it and It is now seeking for
authority to borrow, please notice that
it wants to borrow, £750,000 for the
erection of houses for tho poor. Imagine how mnny of these undertakings
would have materialized had the Glaswegians been imbued with the same
pusillanimous spirit as the Mail. They
have mado a success of what they have
taken In hand because they have kept
municipal politics out of the management and have given careful businesslike attention to the working of the several schemes. What a city can do, a
national government can and should do,
the wailings of tho Mall and others of
that Ilk notwithstanding. As for reforming the errors of high bonuses and
freight rates, which the Mail says can
be done, it would be interesting to know
how it would suggest this should In done,
in, for example, the cuse of the C.P.R.,
or the Columbia Sc Western, or any of
tho mnny other subsidized lines British
Columbians know something about.
CHINESE IMMIGRATION.
It is gratifying to know that some, at
least, of the influential British journals
realize the importance of treating the
Chinese question as affecting tho colonies, seriously. Too many seem disposed to look upon the objection raised in
British Columbia, It is a pity we cannot
say Canada, and Australia to an unrestrained Immigration of Chinese as
frivolous, and inspired by the laboring
classes only. They do not seem to
realize the Important economic effects
such immigration can have upon the
countries subjected to It, because perhaps they have not heen brought in contact with them. The London Dally
News strikes the right note when it
says:
The desire of the Australian
to secure his heritage for the white
man Is one which must command
genernl sympathy. He Is so conveniently situated for Asiatic invasion that the "yellow peril" with
which Europe Is periodically threatened is for him a constant and very
real danger. More than once he has
heen brought face to face with the
possibility of being swamped by
yellow Outlanders, who, if they could
not steal his land from him by
force of arms, as is sometimes done,
could annex It by force of numbers.
The future of tho country clearly depends upon the success of the Australians in stemming the tide of
Chinese nnd Japanese. It is not
merely a question of labor and wages
though that Is sufficiently serious,
for the capacity of tho Chinaman
for work is only equalled by his
joy in his noisome surroundings. No
white man can compete with the
Chincso in the matter of labor conditions. He has no cravings for an
eight-hour dny, nnd his Idea of a
minimum wage would make a self-
respecting British bricklayer blush.
He Is a standing rebuke to those who
ask whether poor men can save. His
thrift is as amazing as his powers
of endurance. To the sweater be Is
the most admirable thing created in
the likeness of man, To the worker
lie is a rival of appalling import.
But, ns we have said, it is not only
or oven chiefly as a candidate in tlie
labor market that the yellow man te
A menace to Australia. He is a bad
citizen. The conditions tinder which
he lives, the atmosphere which he
creates, the problems which he
raises are all such as a community
which desires to see its country develop on wholesome lines must
desire to avoid. The Australians
are justly proud of their country.
They seo in it vast potentialities
which they desire to realize In their
own way. They havo had sufficient
experience to know that allowed a
free course tho Chinaman became
as all pervasive as the rabbit, and a
far greater nuisance. And they are
wisely doing their- best to keep
him at bay.
For somo reason or other Canada's,
or rather British Columbia's case, is not
mentioned by tho London journal. It
cannot be that it is Ignorant of the
conditions horo; they havo been so
widely discussed that, small a part of
tho empire as we oro, It Is not likely so
Important a question us this, and which
has been the cause of so much diplomatic correspondence, can have escaped
Its attontlon. To mako the case fit us
all that is necessary is to substitute
British Columbia for Australia; the
arguments that hold good in the ono
caso, answer equally well for the other.
ROOSEVELT IS 44 YEARS OLD.
Washington, Oct, 27—President Roosevelt Is 44 yenrs old today, nnd, according
to the custom of his family, the anniversary was observed this ovenlng by a
dinner In which the children participated. The president's birthplace was
at No. 28 East Twentieth street, New
York City. While one of the youngest
rulers of nations, president Roosevelt is
tho Benior of several. For instance,
Nicholas of Russia Is only 34 years of
age, whllo William II. of Germany te a
year younger than the president,   Queen
Wllholmilia of Holland Is young enough
to be the president's daughter, having
boen born ns late as 1880. Kuang Hsu,
emperor of China, has but 29 years to his
credit, while sultan Abdul Azziz, of Morocco, was born in 1878. The khedive of
Egypt Is only 28. King Charles of Portugal te another who is junior to the
president, having been born In 1861,
while his nearest neighbor, Alfonso of
Spain, has not reached his seventeenth
birthday. Ferdinand of Bulgaria is still
another, he having first seen the light
in 1801. Alexander of Servia is quite a
youth in comparison with him, however,
having been born in 1870. King Edward
VII. of Great Britain, is one of those
called a young ruler, but' he Is a grandfather, and Is 17 years older than president Roosevelt.

A plant of nbnnt 10 tons dally capacity,
which probably cost about $"25,000 although
It could be duplicated for perhaps, $I6,O0G
at lhe present tlmo, was Installed nenr tlie
Trail Smelting works. It has boen In
operation for about ten months, I am informed, with signal success, nnd the erection of a larger plant, of approximately 30
tons capacity and provided with Improved
handling fncilttlos, in now contomplnled.
The depositing rooms contain HO lanks,
built of wood, lined with tar nnd approximately of the size of copper refining tanks.
Underneath the lank-room floor, Is a basement pormitlng of Inspection of tho tank
bottoms for posslblo lenkngo and removal
of tbe solution of slimes. A suction pump
Is employed In lifting tho electrolyte from
Ihe receiving tank nnd circulating the solution. In nearly every respect tlio arrangement of the plant nnd Its equipment Is
strikingly like that of a modern copper
refinery.
Tho great success of tho process is primarily bnsed on Betts' discovery of tho
easy solubility of lead In an acid solution
of load fluoslcate, which possesses both
stability under electrolysis nnd high conductive, nnd from which oxcepilonally pure
lend may bo deposited with Impure anodes
at a very low cost. With such n solution
there is no polarization from formation of
lend peroxide on the anode, no evaporation nf constituents except wnter, and no
danger in its handling. It is cheaply obtained by diluting hydrofluoric neld of 3.-
per cont. IIF, which Is quoted In Now
York at 3 cents per pound, with nn equal
volume of water and saturating It witli
pulverized quarts,.
According to Mr. Betts, nn acid of 20
Jo 22 per cent, wll como to nbout $1 pot-
cubic foot, or to $1.25 when tho solution has
been slandarlzed with 0 pounds of lead.
One per cent, of lead will neutralize 0.T
per cent H2SIF6. The electrolyte employed
at tho time of my Inspection of the works
contained, 1 believe, 8 per cent, lead und
11 per cent, excess of iluoslllclc acid.
The anodes consist of the lead bullion to
bo refined, enst Into plates about two Inches thick and approximately of the same
size as ordinary two-lugged copper anodes.
Before being plnced in position in the tanks
they are straightened by being hammered
over a mould and their lugs squared. No
anode sacks are employed as In the <.
Keith  process.
Tlio cathode sheets which receive the regular lend deposits, are thin lend plates obtained by elcetrode-posillon upon nnd
stripping from special cathodes of sheet
steel. The latter aro prepared for use by
cleaning, flashing with copper, HghtUy
lead-plating in the tanks, and greasing
Willi a benzine solution of paraffin, dried
on, from which the deposited lead. Is easily
stripped,
Tho unodes and cathodes are separated
by a space of 1 1-2 to 2 Inches in the tank
and are electrically connected ln multiple,
the tanks being In series circuit, The fall
in potential between tanks Is only about
0.2 of a volt, which remarkably low voltage is due lo the high conducting power of
the electrolyte nnd to somo extent lo the
I system of contacts used,    Thoso contacts
are small wells of mercury In the bus-bars,
i large enough to accommodate copper pins
I soldered to the iron cathodes or clamped
J to 'the anodes.    Only a small amount of
mercury is required,
Current strengths of from 10 to 25 amperes per square foot have been used but
nt Trail 1-1 amperes have given the most
satisfactory results as regards economy of
working nnd the physical and chemical
properties of the refined metnl produced.
A current of 1 ampere deposits ;t.88 grams
of lond por hour, or transports 3 1-4 times
I as much lead, in this case, as copper with
I an ordinary copper refining solution.     A
I littlo ovor 1,000 kilograms, or 2,210 pounds,
requires about 260,000 ampere hours.   At 10
amperes per square foot tho cathode (or
anode) area should  be about 1.080 square
feet per ton of dully output. Taking a layer
nf  electrolyte  1.5  inches   thick,   135   cubic
feet will be found to bo the nmount between the electrodes and 175 feet mny be
taken ns the totnl quantity of solution
necessary, according to Mr. Bells* estimate.
Tho Inventor states that he has worked
conHiiitthlsly and succenlBfulIy with a drop
nt potential of only 0.175 volt per tank,
find that therefore 0.25 volt should be un
ample alowance fu regular refining. Quoting Mr. Belts; ''200,001) ampere hours at
0.26 volt works out to 87 electrical horse
power hours of 100-horse power hours at
the engine shuft, iu round numbers. Estimating that 1 horse power hour requires
the burning of 1.5 pounds of coal, and allowing say liOO pounds fur casting the
unodes und refined loud, each ton of lead
refined requires the burning of 210 pounds
of fuel." With coal at $0 per ton the
total amount of fuel consumed therefore
should not cost ovor U0 cents, which Is
for below the cost of flro-refiiiing base lead
bullion, as we know.
In the Bells' electrolytic process, practically all the Impurities In thu base bullion
remain us a more or less adherent coating
on the anode, uud only tho zinc, Iron, cobalt
aud nickel present go into the solution.
The anode residue consists practically of
all the copper, antimony, bismuth, arsenic,
silver and gold contained iu the bullion,
and very nearly 10 per cent, of its weight
ln lead. Having the analysis of any bullion,
It is easy to calculate with theso data the
composition of the anode residue und the
rate of pollution of the electrolyte. Allowing 176 cubic feet of electrolyte por ton of
daily output, It will be found that In the
course of a year theso impurities will have
accumulated to the extent of a very few
per cent. Estimating that the electrolyte
will have to be purltted once a year, the
amount to be purified daily Is less than 1
cubic foot for each ton of output. The
amount of lead not immediately recovered
in pure lead form Is about 0.3 per cent.,
most of which Is finally recovered. As compared with tho ordinary llre-reflned lead,
the elcetrolyticully refined leud Is much
purer and contains only mere traces of
bismuth, when blsmuthy base bullion Is
treated. Furthermore, the present loss of
silver In fire-refining, amounting It Is
clulmed, to about 1 1-2 per cent, of the
silver present, and covered by the ordinary
loss in assay, Is to a large extent avoided,
as the silver In the electrolytic process is
concentrated ln th anode residue with n
very small, loss and the loss of silver in
i-oflulng the slimes Is much less than in
treating the zinc crusts and rellning the
silver residue after distillation. The silver
slimes obtained at Trail , averaging about
8,000 ounces of gold and silver per ton, arc
now treated at the Seattlo Smelting and
Refining works. There the slimes ure
boiled with concentrated sulphuric acid
and steam, allowing free access of air,
which removes the greater part of the
copper. The washed residue is then dried
In pnns over steam colls, nud melted down
In a magnesia brick-lined reverberatory,
provided with blast tuyeres, and refined.
In this reverberatory furnace the balance
of the copper left In the slimes after boiling, Is removed by the addition of niter
as a flux, and lhe antimony with soda.
The dore bars finally obtained nre parted
In the usual way with sulphuric ucid.
making sliver .090 fine and gold bars ut
least .992 fine.
Although the present method for recovering tho precious metals und by-products from the anode residues leaves much
room for improvement, the use of the
Betts process muy be recommended to our
lead refiners, because It Is a more economical and efficient method than the flre-
reflning process now ln common use. 1
will state my belief in conclusion, that the
present development of electrolytic lead
refining, signalizes as grent an advance
over zinc desilverlzatton and the flro methods of rellning lead us electrolytic copper
refining does over the old Welsh method
of refining that metal.
SALSBURY JENKIN'S SCHEME
Mr. Salshury Jenkins stepped out upon
the hotel porch under the fire of inquisitive glances wjth an easy nonchalance of manner, which comes only with
long practice. He was the latest arrival.
He lit hiB cigar and gazed with an indifferent curiosity upon the crowd. Mr.
Salshury Jenkins waa an observer—
especially of women, and he speedily
made up his mind that the girl in the
pink dimity at the end of the piazza was
the one girl in the crowd. Having
reached this conclusion he rested not
until he had been formally introduced
—having been formally introduced he
improved his opportunity.
A day or two later he sat on the railing looking down upon the girl, as she
reclined in an easy chair. She laid down
a hook, with a sigh,
"What do :?u think of it?" queried
Mr. Jenkins.
"Perfectly lovely," returned the girl,
"Masterson, the hero, is such a line
fellow—the kind of man who's strong
and brave and risks his lifo for women
and really accomplishes things. I could
fall In love with a man like that. I'm
tired .of the rest—the kind who talk all
day about books and the theatre, the
races and golf. Masterson was so different."
Mr. Jenkins winced. For two days
he had held forth upon golf and tbe
races, the theatre and books. Still, he
thought, complacently, of his manly
appearance, and he considered that he
would push Masterson, the book's hero,
close for second place, But it was up
to him now to make an impression—to
prove his supremacy. He preferred to
eclipse Masterson if possible. To this
end he racked his brain.
And then—a sublime idea occurred to
him; tho more he thought of it tbe
moro he liked it—and as he contemplated it he thought it must end in but one
way—witli the girl's arms around bis
neck, like the heroine's about the neck
of Masterson. This idea wns not entirely original—he had rend of It in
fiction, but It was, he considered, without precedent in rent life. It was to
plnce tlie girl in a situation of apparent
danger, from which, without danger to
himself, he would gloriously rescue her.
It was a great Idea, and Mr. Jenkins
worked it out.
"Well, mister," said the tramp, glancing doubtfully nt Mr, Jenkins' well-
padded shoulder, "I'll tell you how it. Is.
I stood up once to have a man knock
ino down for $G—it was John L. what
did it. An' he broke me nose. I don't
want no more of it, I don't want you
to uso me rough." Mr. Jenkins reassured him.
"Well, then, I'll go you, mister. I'm
not much on scaring   women,   but I
b'pobo I could do It ou U pincli, . AU
right, I'll go you. Only," he added,
"don't you use me rough, and don't you
hit me on the beale."
Next evening at sunset tho girl Set
out for her customary Walk through the
glen. She always went alone. Mr.
Salshury Jenkins had often offered to
go with her, but, although exceptionally gracious to him at other times, she
had acknowledged his suggestion with
a glance which, in another person,
would have been a stony glare. This
time he did not offer. He watched her
disappear In tho woodland path, and
then he followed her.
Tho glen was a wild and wlerd and
lonely place, especially after sundown.
Mr. Jenkins felt that keenly. But he
pressed on after the girl. Occasionally
he caught glimpses of her—but finally
he lost her.
Suddenly he heard a wild scream—a
woman's scream. Por an Instant it
froze his blood. Then he braced up
and spurted on ahead, shouting as he
went—he, the deliverer, in a reassuring voice. He reached the spot The
first thing he saw was tbe girl—he
caught sight of her through an opening
in the leaves. She was standing near
a tree, her eyes opened wide with
—fright?—no, with interest. She was
gazing intently at some spectacle. Jenkins knew not what. Her expression
for an instant gave him pause. Then
ho stepped forward, cautiously, rather
than Impetuously, as he had intended.
As he did so he heard fierce imprecations in one voice, gutteral entreaties
in another. And then he saw that his
tramp was being beaten and pounded
unmercifully by some young giant in
the most approved manner. For a
while the tramp put up a real or pretended resistance—then he weakened.
"Don't, don't, Aister," he pleaded.
"Ain't yer got yer money's worth? Stop,
mister. No! no! no! not on the beak,"
he screamed in agony. For his opponent had planted a vigorous blow upon
that already fractured member. He
followed it by nnother blow that sent
the tramp sprawling, Tho tramp, seizing his chance, scrambled to his feet
and scampered through the underbrush
and out of sight.
As he did so, the girl, with a cry,
sprank forward and threw herself into
the man's arms, clinging closely around
his neck.
"Duncan, oh Duncan," she cried.
"Duncan, my preserver." The man held
her close .and bent down and kissed her,
not once, but many times. As he did so,
Jenkins saw his face and knew him. It
was Kennedy, Duncan Kennedy, a mln-
ing engineer, a guest at the hotel. I
For the moment Mr. Jenkins was
overcome. He sank upon the ground.
When he recovered his equilibrium he
found that they had disappeared, but,
hearing tho sound of voices on his
right, he moved in that direction.
He came to a small opening. In the
middle of it was an old log.
On the log sat Kennedy and the girl.
"Dear little girl," the man was saying, "next time I'll come with you instead of meeting you down here." It
was the trysting place.
"Darn 'em," said Mr. Salsbury Jenkins to himself, "that's what brought
her down here every night!"
He carefully retraced his steps.
"Can you tell me," inquired Mr. Sals-
bury Jenkins later, of the hotel clerk,
"what is the next train up to the city?"
The clerk looked up. "Six flfty-Ilve,"
ho replied. Then, seeing who it was.
"What's the matter? Not afraid of the
girls?"
Mr. Salsbury Jenkins was not afraid
of tho girls, no—but of the girl—that
was a different matter.
And then, too, he was a bit apprehensive as regards the tramp.

WANT BETTER MAIL SERVICE.
Residents of Winderemere District Petition Postmaster-General.
The following petition hns been circulated
extensively throughout the Winderemere
district, and unanimously signed, it Is to
be hoped that the P. M. G, will deal with
It promptly, and give an important dls
trlct the very modest mail service asked
for:
Sir William Mulock, Postmaster-General,
Ottawa, Ontario.
Sir,—The petition of tho undersigned residents of the Winderemere district, of British Columbia, humbly sheweth:
That several months ago the residents of
said district petitioned your department to
establish u mall route from Wllmer to
Cranbrook on the Crow's Nest railway.
That said petition It Is feared did not
receive from the department the consideration that the merits and importance of
the subject mnltor thereof justified, and
now renew their request with tho earnest
hope of u more favorable consideration.
The*"district hns made marked progress
In the development of lis rich mineral
and agricultural resources within tho past
few years, but, notwithstanding this, its
mail facilities arc not as good as thoy wero
five years ago; the Winderemere-Fort
Steele mail route having heen In the meantime discontinued.
The establishment of tlie route asked
for will bring the district in closer touch
With West nnd South Kootenay and the
extensive development In progress there
at lhe present timo, and thus place our
vast undeveloped mineral resources within easy reacli of the investor and capitalist.
Tlie large increase In the volume of postal business transacted in lhe district and
its importance as a mlnoral and ranching
centre Justifies tho assumption that It is
entitled to better mall facilities thnn at
present enjoyed, and It is believed the
poBtofflce Inspector of tho province will
concur  iu   lids  view.
Your petitioners respectfully submit:
(1.) That lhe district is entitled to better mall fneilltles than that now furnished.
(2.) That tho residents in the district,
wiio should be tho best judges of tholr own
interests nro almost unanimous in their
desire for a weekly service from Wllmer
to Cranbrook in preference lo a bi-weekly
service from Winderemere to Golden.
(It.) That the establishment "f this route
means for tlie district almost tlie difference between prosperity nnd stagnation In
the development of Its ranching and mining Interests.
(■I.) That tho expose of establishing the
routo asked for will he less ihan the expense of tho service lo Golden; a conslder-

NELSON'S NEWS OF THE DAY
At the polico court this morning a
case of illicit tapping of the city's electric light wires is to he tried before
police magistrate Crease.
The city engineer Is making an inspection of the city water service boxes with
a view to having them all available without entering private premises,
Tho Rov. John Reid, who has been
supplying tho pulpit ot the Congregational church, will give a temperance
address at the meeting of the Bpworth
league this evening.
At the record office yesterday the locations were; Oxeye, on north side of
Pend d'Oriolle river, by A. B. Churches;
Copper Queen, enst fork of Forty-Nine
creek, hy A. Olson. Certificates of work
■were issued to A. B. Campbell et al, on
Log Cabin, and Grenville, ami B. J.
Cur-ran, on Silver Bar.
C. Miller, a merchant of Salmo, who
■was In the city yesterday purchasing
stock, states thnt business in Salmo has
picked up a good deal during the fall.
The carpenter work on the big mill
"Which Sayward & Co. are putting In
"WaB completed yesterday and will afford
employment altogether to 40 men, including those getting out the logs. The
building is 34C by 60 feet in size, and
■was erected by contractor Toye, of
Nelson.
The Nelson ministerial association
met yeBterday morning at the residence
of Rev. F. H, Graham. After routine
business had been disposed of, a very
interesting paper on evangelistic
"work waa read by Rev. Dr. Wright,
•which was followed by a free discussion.
Arrangements were also made for holding religious services fortnightly at
Willow Point school house, dating from
October 26th. The next meeting will be
held at the Methodist parsonage on the
last Monday In November.
Yesterday thoro were two speedy trial
cases up before judge Forin at Ihe
courthouse. In the first of these, rex
vs. McCullough, the prisoner was accused of attempting criminal assault.
He was found guilty nnd sentenced to
six months' Imprisonment. The second
case was rex vs. Deschenes. The prisoner, Narclsse Deschenes, alias J. Mon-
porant, was accused of feloniously
■wounding some cattle belonging to a
rancher at Blko, named J. Desrosler.
After several hours' sifting of the evidence, Deschenes was found guilty of
felonious wounding nnd was given one
month's imprisonment.
John Wannamaker, the grent New
York and Chicago drygoods man, has a
forcible way of expressing his views.
This is a remark of his recently anent
advertising: There is only one way to
advertise, and that is to hammer your
name, your location, your business so
thoroughly Into the people's heads that
If they walked In their sleep they would
constantly turn their hends toward your
store. The newspaper is your best
friend in splto of your criticism. It helps
to build up the community which supports you. When tbe day comes that
the newspapers are dead the people are
near the edge of tbe grave, with no one
to write their epitaph.
.T. W. More, of Nelson, has patented
an invention for gold dredging that
should prove very useful. The buckets
or scoops of the present style dredge
open at the bottom to let the water run
out nnd to dump. As a consequence of
this It is clnlmed that much fine gold is
lost In handling. Mr. More's Invention,
of which he has a working model, consists of a bucket and mechanism for
dumping from the top, the bucket being
simply upset. As in scooping up the
sand from the bottom the water naturally comes to the top of tbe bucket,
there is no loss of the heavier sand,
such as occurs at present. The system
appears to be very simple and ingenious.
There was a crowded congregation at
St. Saviour's church on Sunday evening,
the first of a series of nuiBlcnl recitals
being given nfter the service by the
choir. Tbe following programme was
rendered, and all taking part wero
heard at their best: Selections, Mendelsohn's "Elijah;" "If with all your
hoarlB," Mr. Lochore; "Lord God of
Abraham," Mr. Grizzelle; quartette,
"Cast thy burden," Mrs. McLeod, Mrs.
Goepel, Messrs. Lochore and Grizzelle;
"O rest In the Lord," Mrs. Goepel, nnd
the anthem, "PralBO ye the Father,"
Gounod. Mr. Jowett played on the
prgan, "Pia Jesu," nnd "Fugnta Cheru
bim," and "Hallelujah to the Father,"
from Beethoven's "Mount of Olives."
B. J. Mackay, representing Rattray
& Co., of Montreal, arrived in the city
last evening.
The sale of the stores of lhe Hall
Mines Is about completed. It is thought
that another night will complete tho
clearing out of the stock. The sale will
be on again this evening in ths Hume
building, Vernon street, ut 7.30 o'clock.
Tbe Presbyterian church was filled
Sunday afternoon with the many friends
cjf tlie late John Ross, and even up the
steep road to the cemetery the funeral
procession was followed by a great many
people. The service at tho church was
short. Tbe grave was covered with
wreaths and cut flowers, marking the
high esteem in which the deceased had
always been held.
,T. J. McMullen arrived in the city yesterday from Ymir, bringing with him
some samples of free milling gold ore
from the Spotted Horse, which he is
working in company with his partner,
C. Dltter. This property attracted attention last year on account of the rich
ore found on it after but little work had
been done. It hns, however, boen idle
for some time, hut Mr. Dltter states that
It is the intention of tbe owners to push
the development work ahead rapidly
from now on. On the Gold Cup, an adjoining property, J. Ryan and F. Donnely
bave encountered a lead of free milling
gold quartz carrying values of from $25
to ?75.
A THRIVING INDUSTRY.
Bast Kootenay Lumber Mills Have
More Orders Than Tbey Can Fill.
There is considerable activity in the
lumbering business at Moyte ot the present time, and the outlook is that it will
continue for some time to come. The
two local mills are away behind in their
orders, but this Is principally due to
the inability to get cars. The Moyle
Lumber compnny, for instance, have
orders in for between 70 and 80 carloads, and the Bast Kootenay Lumber
company for between 150 and 300 carloads.
Sam Grant and his father, Donald
Grant, of tlie Moyle Lumber company,
arrived In town last week from Falr-
hault, Minnesota, and are looking after
the interests of the company. The
company has decided to push operations
with all possible speed. They will take
out ns many logs as possible this
winter, and will probably enlarge their
mill to nearly double its present capacity. Lamb creek, which traverses their
immense timber limits, will be cleared,
as will also the upper Moyie river, along
which they also have a good belt of
timber. They have all the work they
cnn possibly handle for yenrs to come.
Tho Bast Kootenay Lumber company
have somewhat changed their plans
lately. As near as can be learned, says
the Moyie Leader, ntw they intend to
move their Moyie mill west to Yabk on
the lower Moyie river, and add machinery to double its capacity. Then they
will dam Moylo lake at its outlet so
they can raise it about two feet and get
a head of water for fluming the logs
down the river. In this way they can
drive logs clear from tbe bead of the
lake to their mill down the river. By
doing this they have several years cutting tn sight. It is also the intention
of tbe company to move their Jaffray
mill to Wardner, on tbe Kootenay river.
POPB'S PHYSICIAN SICK.
Rome, Oct. 27.—Dr. LapponI, the
pope's private physician, Is suffering
from appendicitis, and the pontiff is
much distressed. Dr. Mazzonl, who operated on the pope for a cyst about two
years ago, is attending Dr. LapponI, nnd
will operate upon him tomorrow. In
referring to bis physician's illness, the
pope exclaimed: "I hope that Dr. Lap-
poni's constant prediction that he would
die before me will not be fulfilled."
BRINGING THOMPSON BACK.
