COLLIDES WITH
AN IRONCLAD
Empress of India Destroys
Chinese Gunboat
Captain and Part of Crew
are Drowned
[Special to Tiie Daily News.]
Vancouver, Aug. 18.—The serviceability of the Empresses as auxiliary
cruisers in time of war, for which they
are designed, has been demonstrated in
practical fashion by a regrettable accident, word being received this afternoon
that the H.M.S, Empress of India had
been in collision with the Chinese warship Huang Tat, famous as a participant
in tbe memorable Yalu River battle,
with disastrous results to the Ironclad
flying the dragon lias.
The collision occurred 150 miles off
Hong Kong last night, and nineteen
minutes later the warship sank.
Ono hundred and fifty-three of the
Huang Tal's ship's company were saved
by the crew of tho Empress, which
stood by to render assistance. Tbe captain and 13 were drowned.
This evening official confirmation of
the news, whicli came originally through
tbe naval authorities at Esquimau, was
given out by the C. P. H. authorities.
The company's statement follows: The
Huang Ta), it is understood, is a gunboat of the second class. She served as
a dispatch boat at tbe battle of Yalu
River and was one of the very few tbat
escaped falling into the hands of the
victorious Japanese on that historic
occasion.
"The R.M.S. Empress of India, 0. P.
Marshall, R.N.R., commander, sailed
from Vancouver on Monday, July 27th,
and was running from Shanghai to Hong
Kong when the accident occurred. Early
last evening the liner came up with
the Chinese vessel, the two being on
parallel courses for Hong Kong. The
Empress was naturally traveling much
the faster of the two. When tbe Chinese gunboat was off the Empress' starboard bow, the captain of the cruiser
suddenly starboarded bis helm and
turning to port attempted to cross the
bows of the liner.
The Empress Immediately reversed
her engines, trying to avoid being
rammed broadsides by the cruiser. The
liner sheered off sufficiently to catch a
glancing blow from the bows of the
cruiser instead of receiving tbo direct
Impact of tbe war vessel, which would
probably have cut her in two. The
cruiser struck the Empress near the
Btarboard side of the bridge, nnd In
sliding aft carried away some of tbe
upper works of the liner. As she drifted
back, the steamer was still working her
engines to stop, and still steering to
Bheer off from the warship. The result
waa that the starboard propeller of the
Empress smashed the side of the warship as the latter passed her stern.
The warship sank in 19 minutes later.
Every effort was made by tbe crew of
the liner to save the Chinese crew of
the cruiser, and 153 were taken off.
Thirteen were drowned, it is believed,
and the captain is said to havo been
amongst the victims.
The Empress proceeded to her destination, where she arrived this morning,
and will be dry docked as soon as possible."
KAISER WANTS MORE SOLDIERS.
Berlin, Aug. 18.—There seems to he
no doubt that the government, under the
-impulse of the emperor, is determined
to ask the retchstag for an Increase in
the permanent military establishment
by about 39,000 men to be organized into
two army corps, thus raising the standing army to about 647.000 officers and
men. The increased annual charge is
estimated at $9,000,000 exclusive < f
equipment. It is af finned that the proposed increase has nothing to do with
the present position of foreign questions.

whicli has been closed down since last
summer, resumes work today. P. W.
Rolt, of Rossland, vice-president of the
Tamarac Mines, Ltd., was here yesterday with a force of men who are now
on the property. The development now
being undertaken is directed to gaining
further depth on the main vein and the
winze from tho adit tunnel is to be continued down. The company Ib now in
possession of the insurance money paid
on the tramway which was burned up in
the bush fire twelve months ago, but
for the time being at least, no steps will
bo taken towards repairing the line.
Every effort will be made towards developing a good body of ore in the lower
workings of the mine, where the showing is considered very promising.
G. A. Barnhardt has now a force of
men at work on tbe Porto Rico mine,
which be holds under lease from the
Canadian Pacific Exploration Co., of
London. The 10-stamp mill with which
this property is equipped is to be repaired and put in working order again,
but the compressor plant will not be
utilized for the present, tbe drilling
being done hy hand.
It Is also probable that ore from the
Spotted Horse mine will be treated at
the Porto Rico mill. Tbe Spotted Horse
is one of the richest free milling properties in tills vicinity, and several carloads
of rich ore have already been shipped.
The owners, Messrs. tlole and D.tler,
have now two shifts at work driving a
tunnel on the vein which has at present
progressed a distance of 80 feet. The
vein in tbe face lias a width of three
feet and shows considerable free gold.

full width.
At the Gold Cup property now under
lease to Messrs. Wolfe and Dawault,
tbe shaft has been sunk to a depth of
02 feet, from which point drifting bus
commenced. The vein at this depth has
widened out to five feet of good ore. A
large force of men are employed on the
wagon road, which is being built with
government assistance, from Porto Rico
siding to the Gold Cup.
The Standard Mines Co., of Nelson,
which is operating the Hunter V. mine
is making preparations for development on a larger scale than heretofore.
A. Wheeler, late of tbe Whitewater
mine, has been placed in charge of tbe
property as superintendent.

WAR.
BULGARIAN TROOPS   ARE    BEING
MOBILIZED.
Sofia, Bulgaria, Aug, 18.—A reign of
terror is reported to prevail In Uskub,
where the Christian inhabitants are
afraid to leave their homes. The vail
has issued the strictest orders to the
Mussulman population to remain quiet
and not molest their Christian neighbors, but the Mussulmans meeting ln
tho mosques have resolved at a given
signal to massacre the whole Christian
populace immediately the flrst insurgent hand appears near Uskub or any
other pretext.
The Christians are terrorized. The
Turkish troops, who are their only protection, did not show the slightest disposition to aid them. The attitude of
the Turkish troops was recently plainly
manifested when a tralnload of soldiers
shortly after leaving Uskub fired on
and killed three of the Bulgarian
workmen who were repairing the track.
According to a report from Uskub,
Michailovakl, the Bulgarian leader, was
killed in the fighting at Krushevo, while

has been surrounded at Prassbralkan,
In the southern part of the Monastir
vilayet. The night train between Salonica and the Servian frontier has been
suspended. Forty-three battalions of
Turkish reserves in Europe have been
called out.
The Evening Post states tbat a band
of Bashi Bazouks have crossed the Bulgarian frontier in the district of Tele-
dere, killed three frontier guards with
Yatagans and wounded two others. They
also set fire to several houses. This
raid has created great excitement in the
district.

hostilities.
Rome. Aug. IS.—Private advices from
the Balkan peninsula received here
state that Bulgaria has practically
mobilized an army as the troops under
arms in the principality now amount to
more thnn 70.000, which is double what
is considered as the peace effective. The
Bulgarian government, however, is unwilling to venture for the time being on
any hostilities against Turkey as it does
not wish to lose the support of Russia.
PETER IS PRUDENT.
Servla's King Lets His Ministers Do All
tbe State Business.
London, Aug. 19.—An interesting
sketch of the new king of Servia Is given
in a Belgrade dispatch published in the
Daily Mail this morning. King Peter
says the correspondent, is very prudent,
he Interests himself in every branch of
the administration. He presides at
every cabinet council nnd evpresses his
opinion unreservedly, but he permits the
ministers to act freely and untrammeled.
All letters addressed to the king, even
from the relations seeking public appointments, are invariably handed to
the chiefs of the departments concerned
without even a suggestion from his
majesty. Neither does be interfere in
party politics nor exercise any influence on the foreign policy of Servian
which today is neither pronounced
Russophile nor decidedly pro-Austrian,
The king's privnte life is as simple and
democratic as it was before his accession to the throne.

GRAND FORKS CANDIDATE
LIBERAL    CONVENTION    SELECTS
NEILL McCALLUM.
FEEL     CONFIDENT   OF   WINNING
THE ELECTION.
[Special to Tiie Daily News.]
Grand Forks, Aug. 18.—The nominating convention of the liberals of the
Grand Forks electoral district met in
Alberta hall hero last evening. Thirty
delegates were present in person, nnd six
members of the Phoenix delegation carried each orte proxy, making a total representation of 36, of whom 19 were
from Grand Forks and vicinity, 14 from
Phoenix and vicinity, 2 from Cascade
and 1 from Fife. W. H. P. Clement, of
Grand Forks, was voted to the chair, and
E. H. Mortimer, of Phoenix was elected
secretary.
Tbe credentials committee reported
the following delegates in attendance:
From Cascade. Messrs. Dunbar and
Stuart; from Fife, Mr. Morrison; from
Phoenix, Messrs. Boyle, Dclnhaye,
Greer, Hardy, Hart, Mills, Mortimer
and H. S. Turner; from Grand Forks,
Messrs. Anderson. Bower, Clark, Cook,
Clement, Eckstein, Swing, Martin,
Munro, Morrison, J. A. McCallum, N.
McCallum, P. T, McCallum, Pattison,
Sinclair, Spence, C. M. Turner, Waugh
and Dr. Westwood.
Tho proceedings were breezy enough
to be interesting, but were thoroughly
good humored, and the business of the
evening was put through in a manner
satisfactory to everyone. Many of the
delegates favored a short, sharp campaign, and for that and other reasons
advocated that the actual nomination of
a candidate should be deferred for a
time. The Phoenix delegation, however,
was solid against this proposition, and
with the aid of Mr. Morrison, of Fife,
succeeded in convincing the convention
that tbe nomination should be made at
once, and a resolution to that effect
carried ia tho end without a dissenting
voice, 'it was agreed that tho first
ballot should be open, without nominations, and it was taken accordingly,
with tbe result that Nell McCallum was
found ta bo the choice of tbe convention, receiving 20 votes. On motion of
Dr. Westwood and T. J. Hardy, of
Greenwood, both of whom had received
substantial support on the ballot, though
both hid positively declined to consider nomination, the selection of Mr.
McCallum as the party candidate for the
constituency was made unanimous, by
a standing vote. Brief speeches were '
made hy delegates from all pints of the
riding, expressing hearty concurrence in
the choice made, and assuring Mr. McCallum uf support and election, H is
not too much to say that the convention
was a unit, and the genuine enthusiasm shown not only by Mr. McCallum's
fellow delegates from Grand Forks, but
by the representatives of Fife. Cas- |
cade and Phoenix, is the best possible
augury of liberal success.
After the nomination, ihe convention
got down to the work of united organization of tht constituency, and an association was formed for the filling, composed of one representative from Cascade, four from Phoenix, and six from
Grand Forks] who met subsequently and
elected W. H. P. Clement president and
E. H. Mortimer secretary, Considerable
other routine business was transacted,
and matters of party interest were discussed. Strong resolutions were passed
expressing confidence in the liberal administration at Ottawa, and at 1,80
o'clock, after a six-hour session, the
convention broke up, with cheers for
sir Wilfrid Laurier, the party, and the
candidate. The visiting delegates left
for home this morning, satisfied that
the convention had done good work, ami
confident of Mr. McCallum's election.
The candidate is an old timer in this
district, and Is well known throughout
the constituency.. He Is very largely
Interested in mining and other proper-
tics; and hns taken a prominent part
In public affniis. Ho wns for two years
mayor of tbe city of Columbia, prior to
its amalgamation with Grand Forks,
nnd Is at present a leading member of
tho Grand Forks city council. He hns
many friends among the conservatives,
and will certainly poll the full strength
of the liberals. It Is tbe openly ox-
pressed opinion of prominent men In
all parties that tho liberals have mnde
a wise choice, and some, at least, of
Mr. McCallum's political opponents do
not hesitate to say that he will he tho
first member for this constituency.

The resolution of the Montreal board
of trade was also adopted. It was to the
effect that freer Interchange between
the peoples of the empire, of newspapers and periodicals published therein,
would do much to strengthen imperial
unity and that association of Ideas and
alms upon which such unity must be
based; that such interchange would be-
largely promoted by a reduction of
postal charges on such matter; that this
congress therefore prays his majesty's
government to reduce to the domestic
rate the charge on newspapers and
periodicals published in tbe United
Kingdom and posted to the colonies;
and this congress also urges those colonies which have not already done so, to
make a similar reduction in postal rates
on their publications.
Another resolution dealing with light
dues as proposed hy the Cardiff chamber
of congress was also adopted.
A resolution urging his majesty's
government to resolutely maintain and
extend our commercial treaty rights;
tbat tbe consular service should be reorganized and strengthened, on lines,
calculated to make It more effective
for the promotion of the trade ot the
British empire, was read by Joseph Walton, M. P., who argued that a most
criminal apathy existed In the minds
of the British government in regard to
the extension of British trade with
China and Japan.
He said the British trade with China
and Japan had declined, while the trade. .
of tbe United States with these countries bail Increased. He also argued
that Canada had suffered because she
had given preferential treatment to British goods, which had resulted In Germany excluding Canadian goods, and yet
Britain had done nothing.
[The above report was all that the
Associated Press gave out last night,
and repeated enquiries of Montreal
failed to obtain tbe balance of the story.
Tbe account given is merely part of the
morning session, and presumably the
congress met In tbe afternoon and
evening but If it did no report of the
further proceedings came west according to the Associated Press agents.—

THE LARDEAU TRADE.
An interview of a Kaslo man which
appeared in the Spokesman-Review on
Sunday last concerning the Lardeau
country generally and the new Poplar
creek goldflelds in particular, was proh-
ahly intended to boost Kaslo as the
proper point for newcomers to outfit
preparatory to going in to the section.
People were told to come to this city,
take the C o'clock boat ln the morning
to Kaslo, and next day take the boat
direct from Kaslo to Lardo, where the
new arrivals would find a train waiting
for them which would bring them into
the land of special promise.
The interview was all right from a
Kaslo man's standpoint, but it is surely
time that Nelson business men took
the matter up seriously and placed the
real facts of the case in print. If the
best returns from the new inrush are to
be obtained in this city, printers' ink
should be used judiciously to point out
the advantages of outfitting at tills point
and a properly displayed advertisement
in the local and Spokane press would
go a long way to bring business in here.
New arrivals here evjjy day .fjllBLently
come in late at nlght^tnd leai'gEor the
north on the early steamer without any
knowledge of the direct line to the Lardeau later in the Coy, and the fact
that they could obtain all necessary Information aiid^upplies In this city. The
board of trade should take the matter
up at their next meeting.
AN OUTSIDE OPINION.
It is sometimes well for our own good
that wo should heed the criticisms of
others upon matters which concern us
most, and though those criticisms need
not necessarily influence our opinions
they cannot but have at least some
effect. It would be well therefore for
some of the opponents of the Grand
Trunk Pacific railway scheme to read
what outsiders think of the project.
Unfortunately the political partisanship
enters so largely Into every question
that even the greatest good of the
country at large is not sufficient inducement to the average politician to sink
the little petty nothings that lead him
to oppose a scheme or measure simply
because it emanates from the "other
side."
No such pettiness, however, troubles
the Brooklyn Eagle, which discusses
the scheme with an impartial frankness that should be the emulation of
many members of the opposition. After
sketching the origin and progress of the
C. P, R., the Eagle says:
"A great wilderness has been opened
up to settlement, hamlets became villages, villages grew into towns, and
towns developed into cities. What the
first transcontinental road did for the
lower sections of western Ontario,
Assiniuola, Manitoba, Alberta and British Columbia the Grand Trunk line
should do for the northern portions of
these territories and for the fertile
prairies of Saskatchewan. "What the
engineering difficulties may be we do
not know ,but they cannot certainly be
greater than those that confronted the
engineers who pushed tho Canadian
Pacific so rapidly to completion. Tho
Canadian government has profited
largely from Its investment ln the
Canadian Pacific, although that investment was upwards of $100,000,000. It
will doubtless secure as great a return
from the money that Is to be given to
help the Grand Trunk people carry out
their heavy undertaking. If we take
population as a basis of comparison,
Canada hns of late years gone ahead of
this country in the matter of railroad
development."
Tho Eagle, continuing, estimates the
results of this line as so great that tho
states commercially will not only be a
matter of indifference to Canada, and
infers that she will not only never be a
suppliant for trade favors, but that the
reverse may bo witnessed ns the domln-
SunHght Soap will not injure
your blankets or harden them. It
will make them soft, white and
fleecy* 7B

ion "has that to give in compensation
which we should desire for our own
profit."
It is not twenty years since the C. P.
R. was completed, and yet only last year
the territory served by it, a territory
which was described as a vast inhospitable desert, produced some 95,000,000
bushels of wheat, 157,000,000 bushels of
oats and 35,000,000 bushels of barley.
It is the home of thousands of happy,
contented farmeds; it Is the granary of
the empire. The misgivings that were
felt and to which expression was then
freely given were then not unreasonable, but In the light of that experience
it is not too much to say that the
Brooklyn Eagle's estimate of the value
of the new line is a correct and reasonable one.
EDITORIAL NOTES.
The Tourist Association havo taUen
prompt means to advertise the new Poplar creek goldflelds and the advantage of
Nelson as an outfitting point for the
Lardeau generally. Photographs have
been obtained and sent away for cuts,
and a descriptive write up has been prepared. The pamphlet will be published
and distributed at the earliest moment
possible.
S. S. Taylor's first public meeting on
Thursday evening next is sure to be an
Interesting one. His opponent has declared his willingness to attend and
speak, nnd tho first hour and a half of
the evening has been allowed him at his
own request. Alfred Parr, the liberal
candidate in Ymlr, and William Ebbs,
of this city, will also address the gathering in addition to Mr. Taylor, so that
the electors will be able to fairly guage
what the respective parties offer them
In the campaign which is now fairly on.
The mining expert will report, is now
engaged in reporting, on the Poplar
creek golslflelds. We have had the gentleman with us before, and know that
many good properties, since proved, in
the Lardeau, were at first turned down,
by him and as practically no work has
been done on the new discoveries, the expert's report on them should be received with caution. What is wanted, and
wanted badly, is an official bulletin
from Victoria based on the personal examination of the provincial mineralogist. Mr. Rolertson could prove the
value of his oflce If he went to Poplar
creek and told us all what he thought
of the proposition.
NEGRO RUNS AMUCK.
White Men Abuse His Hospitality and
He Uses a Gun.
Birmingham, Alabama, Aug. 18.—A
special from Heflln, Alabama, says:
News has reached here that three men
have been killed and ten wounded In
Randolph county by a negro named
Sledge. Last Friday a parly of 11 white
men working on the public road at
Beaver creek, near Lamar, asked permission to eat a few melons In his patch.
They were told to help themselves. The
men began to cut and slash melons and
vines. The negro warned them to stop
and then went after his gun. Returning, he emptied his weapon Into tho
crowd, wounding nine out of the eleven,
and then fled. A posse headed by the
sheriff overtook the negro near a bridge
over the Tamapoise river, five miles
from Wodowe. He was ordered to surrender, but replied by firing his shotgun
Instantly killing Thomns Ebert and
Robert Ford, Sledge was accosted on
the road today by James Moore and
"Bud" Wilson. Without warning the
negro raised his gun and fired, instantly
killing Moore and mortally wounding
Wilson.
LOCKJAW IS CURABLE.
A New Treatment Has Been Tested and
Proved Invaluable.
Chicago. Aug. 18.—A sure cure for
lockjaw, it is said, has at last been discovered. It has been tested and proved.
Tho discoverer ot this cure is Dr. S. A.
Matthews, professor of pharmacology
of the university of Chicago. In brief.
Dr. Matthews' treatment of the dread
disease consists of an Introveinus injection of a salt solution. The treatment
has just beon tried for the first time on
George Norman, an eleven year old boy.
The patient had an acute attack of the
disease and wns in the last stages when
Dr. Matthews was asked to try his
newly discovered treatment, As a
result the boy In able to sit up. Physicians pronounce the cure a wonderful
one, and say that professor Matthews
has mado a discovery which will revolutionize the entire practice of medicine In cases of acute poisoning.

RUSSIAN STRIKERS.
London, Aug. 17.—Fourteen strikers
were killed and from 100 to 150 injured
in a military onslaught which occurred
in the vicinity of Kieff as late as August
11th, according to a Russian correspondent of the Times. The troops fired
several volleys into the strikers at close
quarters. The correspondent regards this
occurrence as a significant comment on
the officially inspired reports that matters had resumed their normal aspect
in the disturbed districts of south
Russia.

The debate I" tlio house at Ottawa on
the grant tor a Canadian news service
disclosed the fact that tho move met

Mr. Fielding moved his resolution to
assist In tho establishment of nn "Independent and efficient service of telegraphic news" to Great Britain for publication la tho Canadian press. He said
that the manner in which the Canadian
press was served with cable aews from
Europe, received by way of the United
States and colored hy American correspondents, to suit tho communities they
served, was eminently unsatisfactory.
There were not many Canadian papers
endowed with the wealth necessary to
get special cable reports. He had conferred with representatives of the press
and they had assured him that they were
prepared to form aa orgaulaztlon to give

reasonable service and hear a reasonable
proportion of the cost fthem selves.
Under these circumstances, he had
assured them that parliament would
he probably glad to give assistance. The
amount provided was $15,000 for each |
of the first three years, ?10,000 for the
fourth, and ?5,000 for the fifth. "We
assume the press would develop its
strength, and that in the course of a
few years they would get enough subscribers among the proprietors of Canadian newspapers to carry on the system
without any further assistance from
the government." Tho government
would not exercise any jurisdiction in
the maintenance of the service. Of
course, newspapers in large cities would
have to pay more for the service than
those in the smaller places. They
would leave to the gentlemen of ths
press the work of carrying out the details. But it was conditional that the
service should he open to every newspaper in Canada, on fair and equal
terms, and if not so they would not be
entitled to the money.
Mr. Borden heartily endorsed the proposition. He was satisfied that Canadians had not received fair play in the
past as to cable news, and on the other
hand, the people of England had not
heen properly provided with Canadian
news. If it was possible to assure the
press of Canada fair and accurate reports of events in the mother country,
good service would be done. While in
England some time ago he had been
much disappointed himself with the
dearth of Canadian news in English
newspapers. In many of them not a
word appeared from Cannda, and If this
service would improve this condition it
was worthy of commendation.
Mr. Tarte was in favor of the" scheme.
Mr. Fielding wished the scheme was
as comprehensive as Mr. Borden had
suggested, and that it would provide
English newspapers with Canadian
news, as well as Canadian papers with
news from the mother country. If they
could do anything to induce English
papers to give more attention to Canadian affairs it would he to the decided
advantnge of Canada.
Mr. Sproiile—Will the Canadian service he independent of American lines?
Mr. Fielding—Yes.
Mr. Sprotile—What will he the cost
per word, nnd what will he the likely
number of words per year?
Mr. Fielding—Whnt we mean is that
there will be a Canadian correspondent
in London, who will give us a Canadian
cable.   As to the rates, I have no reason

Mr. Clarke—What abont utilizing the

Mr. Fielding—I havo no doubt that

Mr. Sproule again asked what number of words would be dispatched.
Mr. Fielding answered that that woald
he a matter of detail and could not be
answered. It woald be hard to judge
that from the dispatches as they would
appear in the papers, as the journalists
generally received the skeleton and filled
it out in readable form.
Mr. Holmes gave the scheme his support, as did Mr. Marcil, who, speaking
as a newspaper man, said he hoped that
the goverament would not overlook the
importance of having a braach of this
service established In Paris, as that city
was the central meeting place of the
continent.
Mr. Fielding had no doubt that the
new service would have a reliable connection at Paris for French and continental news.
The resolution was adopted and the
bill based upon It was read a first time.

which was five hours late ln getting

will ho hack next Saturday.
J. B. McKllllgan, ot Victoria, surveyor ot taxes and inspector of revenue

The Nelson boat club are holding nn

the most pleasant social affairs of tho
season. Speclnl cars will he run to the
park during the evening, and remain to
bring the dancers hack to town at the
conclusion of the affair. A good orchestra will be in attendance.
A dispatch from Vancouver la going
the rounds of the provincial press stating that there is a bitter light on at present between the smelters and the
silver-lead mine managers, and that the
former have been compelled to lower
their charges, specific figures being
given in the article. Enquiry at the
Hall Mines smelter discloses the fact
that the story is utterly false in every
particular, there being absolutely no
foundation nt all for the statements
made.
Miss H. Smith, of Thorold, Ontario,
is a guest at the Phair. The lady is
traveling through the Kootenays as the
Canadian correspondent of the Ndrvs
York Post, a most excellent publication.
On her return to Ontario Miss Smith
will send several descriptive articles to
the Post, one of which will he exclusively devoted to the Kootenays und
their resources.
D. R. Young Is operating the Mona-
shee mine, about 30 miles west of Fire
valley, working a force of about 20 men.
This mine was one of the first quart/,
properties to he opened in this province,
the claims having been crown granted
in 1886. There is a mill and extensive
buildings on tho ground, over $100,000
having been spent ln opening the property up. The mine was shut down in
1890, hut it is claimed that there is
still plenty of good ore in the workings.
George Doyle leaves this morning for
tho Cherry Creek Gold Mining Co.'s
property in the Monashee mountains.

tunnels have heen driven on the lead,
the upper one bolng In 300 feet, No. 2
in 280 feet, and No. 3 ln 140 feet. It Is
the Intention of tho management to connect No. 3 with the surface hy an upraise
of about 175 feet, the upper tunnel
heing close to the summit of the hill.
The mine is 4500 feet above sea level.
and the district is composed of low
wooded mountains and valleys, tho
highest hills not being over 0000 feet.
Two creeks are close to the workings,
affording ample water supply, nnd the
Kettle river Is on the other side of the
divide from the mine. A small trial
mill of two stamps Is being put In to
experiment with, and as soon as these
experiments have been completed a 20-
stainp mill wll] be built. The ore Is all
of free milling gold, the lead averaging
A tent modelled expressly for prospectors, which is being exhibited by a
Baker street merchant, has been attracting considerable attention this week
from prospectors and others who spend
much time in the hills. Tho tent requires only one pole, and is so made
that it can be erected in a cuuple of
minutes with but little labor. It is
divided Into two sections hy an Ingenious device, and although the subejet of
a great deal of discussion and criticism

opinion among the prospectors is that
it is a first class contrivance.

H. C. Iloltlioff, vice-president of the
Holthoff Machinery Co., is stopping at
the Hume. Mr. Holthoff is making a
tour of the province, and expressed himself as surprised and greatly pleased
with the scenery and mineral resource3
of the Kootenays. His firm does a large
htisiness all through the province, their
specialty heing the manufacture of
mining and smelting machinery. The
mountain scenery here he thought
superior to anything in the south, as
the mountains aro well timbered, and
lack the dry and barren appearance
that distinguishes them In California
and other states.
ROCKY MOUNTAIN RANGERS.
Were Inspected Yesterday.—There Is
Room for Improvement.
Lieutenant Blakemore, of the Rocky
Mountain Rangers, yesterday paraded 22
men of that corps for inspection by
lieutenant-colonel Holmes, D. O. C. The
Inspection took place at the tramway
pary at 4.30 p. m., and there was a large
attendance of spectators, mostly ladies.
The condition of uniforms and arms
was satisfactory, hut the drill was
hardly up to the standard, the mnrcii
past being rather ragged, and the officer
and men were not thoroughly familiar
with compnny movements.
Tho skirmishing work done at tlio
ranges was better, ball cartridge was
used and a fair average of marksmanship shown. On tbe whole the work of
the corps was all that could be expected under the present unfavorable conditions.
Speaking to The Daily News after the
Inspection, lieutenant-colonel Holmes
said: "I am very much disappointed
that the drill hall has not yet been
turned over to the militia department.
The possession of such a home would
be a great factor in improving the state
of the service here, and I trust that it
will soon be done."
THE  CARIHOO  COUNTRY.
Want of Water Severely Felt.—Cariboo
Companies Compelled to Close.
James Wattie, of Valleyfleld, Quebec,
who has been visiting his son, Kenneth
Wattie ,for the last two days, leaves
this morning for the coast. Mr. Wattie
was one of tho pioneers in the Cariboo
country, having gone in there ln the
early sixties, and ho is now returning
after paying a second visit to Barker-
vllle and other camps of the district. Ho
stated that the present season was proving a bad one owing to tiie shortness of
water experienced everywhere, it being
a record dry summer all through Cariboo.
The Cariboo Hydraulic and other
large companies closed down on August
1st, as they could not obtain enough
water to work with, and this means a
suspension of operations till next
spring. This is the more unfortunate
as the properties were never looking
better than they arc at present, the
workings now being Into good paying
gravel, and everything In shape for a
profitable run. Mr. Wattle was somewhat disappointed with the litlle apparent progress that had heen made In that
district since the sixties, considering the
richness of the deposits there. The
lack of communication with the outside
world has of course been largely responsible for this, and the long period that
has elapsed without any of tho earlier
promises of steam transportation being
mado good has tended to make the rrsl-

dents of the district rather apathetic In
the matter.
For the ranchers the summer has also
been a poor one. as the mines constitute
their only market., and with the early
shut down of nearly all the properties
the freighting of produce out to the
railway cats up most of the profits.
Despite this, Mr. Wattle believes that
next summer will see the best times in
Cariboo that have yet been experienced,
as the amount of gold bearing gravel
now In sight and ready for working is
immense. This summer there were only
50 working days, through lack of water,
and as part of these were consumed in
preparations, but little was done. Next
yenr if there Is even an average amount
of water available ,the properties can
be worked to their full extent all season
and big returns will be made.
