Lead Bonus Renews Mining
Activity
Work Being Resumed on
Many Properties
Travelling: through the Slocan country
now ft Is pleasant to nolo the revival of
mining activity caused by the coming of
the bonus on lead, which promises to entirely alter tho conditions that havo prevailed there for the last couplo of years.
On the line of the Kaslo & Slocan railway
there is now, on a moderate computation,
about 1,200 tons of lead concentrates and
ores awaiting shipment, and these will be
sent on to the smelters as soon ns It Is
definitely .stated when the bonus will take
*ffoct All along the lino men are at'
work on properties that havo been Idle
for tho past year or two, clearing out
tunnels, repairing bunkhouses, concentrators and other mine buildings, preparatory to the commencement of notlvo operations again. At tho Whitewater mlno,
which has boon idle sinco early last summer, preparations for resuming mining
havo been In progress for the post ten days
and It Is expected that tho taking out of
ores will bu resumed some time next
week.
George A. Alexander Is commencing work
at the Jackson mlno in Jackson basin,
and a small force of men are now getting
things ready there.
The Jackson basin contains some of the
most promising properties of this section,
and although but little has been done
thoro sinco the American lend trust ceased
purchasing load ores from the Kootenays,
tho load bonus hns put new hope Into the
owners and operators of claims thero, and
men aro going In dally to work on tho
different properties. The basin Is reached
by a wagon road, which branches off from
the railway olose to Whitewater station.
A few miles west of Jackson basin are
tho McGulgan and Surprise basins, In
which thero aro already a number of properties In shape lo ship again. The largest of these Is tho Rambler-Cnrlboo,
which hns Increased Its working force to
ninety men, with moro being ndded right
along. Although not working to its full
capacity yet tho property Is now producing about a carload of concentrates per
day, and this will be largely increased
nfter tho bonus lias been definitely granted.
This property Is about six miles from Mc-
GuJgan station, with which it Is connected
by an excellent wagon road.
The initio Is in splendid shape for working, nn extensive course of development
work having beon carried on during the
pnst year. Owing to tho exceptionally
heavy snowfall in tho Kootenays last winter some fears wero felt last month regarding tho snfety of the mine buildings
attached to tho Rambler-Cnrlboo, a slide
tho previous spring having shaken up the
bunkhouses considerably. This yenr, however, pnssed without nny damage being
done, and although there Is still plenty of
snow in the high peaks surrounding the
basin in which the mme Is Bltuated there
Is no danger for the present season nt
least. The Antolnc mine, which Is situated
in the Surprise bnsln, about two miles
tip a trnll from tho Rambler-Cariboo, is
shipping a small quantity of ore regularly,
and will Increase its working force nt nn
early date. The Red Fox nnd Surprise,
which adjoin the Antolne, havo not resumed work yet, but will probably do so within the next fortnight, if sliver keeps on
rising. Tho Surprise basin contains some
of tho highest mines In tho country, the
lowest workings of all of them being well
nbovo the 6,000 foot level. All the properties carry very high grado ores, tho principal values being in silver. It is believed
by many mining men familiar with the
Slocan ores that with silver nt n fair price
this basin would contntn some of the best
sliver properties in tho Kootenays. A belt
of high grade silver ore strikes ncross
country nt this point, and from the regularity of tho values nnd other Indications of permanency encountered on the
leads that hnve been traced there nre undoubtedly some large bodies of this rich
ore. The Silver Glance mine, which Is situated across tho gulch from McGuigan,
carries the some class of ore, and there
are several prospectors now working on
properties to tho northward of the Sllvor
Glance ngain, who are encountering most
satisfactory showings. Assays of ore
running two hundred ounces in silver and
upwards have been quite common on tho
properties in this belt.
At tho Payne it Is expected that nnothor
ten days will see the property a larger
producer than it has ever been. The zinc
plant which hns been In course of erection
there for somo tlmo pnst will be completed nbout the end of next week, nnd Im-
medintely this Is done, shipping will be
resumed. About eighty men are nt work
on the property in different capacities at
present, and this force will probably be
Increased later. A Inrge quantity of oro
for treatment In tho zinc plant Is now
stored rendy to bo run through, nnd no
time will be lost in getting the plant to
Its full capacity. The mlno is looking In
excellent shape, the high grade ore lend
struck at depth In the spring, showing
up steadily.
At tho Ruth mlno, nbovo Sandon, tho
working force although small yet, Is being increased Rtoadlly, and regular shipments aro already being made. This property Is a well developed one, nnd with
the bonus, tho owners should bo In shape
to make It agnln a largo producer.
C. F. Caldwell, of Kaslo, went In yesterday to visit tho Marlon group which he
Is working, to seo what progress Is being
made on tho croescut-j now bolng driven.
This property Is sHuntcd near Now Den
ver. Mr. CnldA'ell I? also operating tho
Pontiac group, ot tho head of Woodborry
creek, on which a crosscut tunnel has
been driven In 400 feet, and will bo continued for 200 feet more, when It Is expected that tho ledge will be struck at a
depth of 1C0 feet
On the Soho mine a small force Is at
work opening up tunnels. On Wednesday
one of the miners, named McKlnnon, received severe Injuries to his head and
right arm while working In a tunnel and
was taken ln to the Kaslo hospital for
treatment.
The Ivanhoe, on Carpenter creek, the
Idaho, opposite tho Queen Bess mine, and
other old shippers Jn thla vicinity have
been making preparations to resume
again, nnd necessary preliminary work Is
now in progress at several of them.
W, W. Warner has resumed work at the
Wonderful group, on Miller creek, and
beforo fall this property is expected t*>
enter the ranks of the shippers. Besides
values in silver and lead the ore from tha
lead being worked carries some free gold.
Constantino Von Morkerke, who las been
working a small force of men on a claim
adjoining tho Sllvor Glance, near Fear
Lake, encountered a lead of high grade
sliver sulphides this week, and will work
the property steadily this summer to opon
it up for shipping.
H. Glegerlch has started a force of e.'jht
men to work on the Province f roup, on
the south fork of Kaslo woe's. From present Indications the south fork properties
will see a lot of development Hits season.
Most of them are situated close to a wagon
rood, which branches off lrom -he railway
nt tho junction of the south nnd middle
branches of Kaslo creek.
Sandon is still very lutc.t, but the business men who hnve weathered ~ae ft vere
depression of the pnst winter nnd spring
nro hopeful that by fall condhlons will
hnve materially improved. A meeting of
the lend mine owners will ')0 ln-)d there
this evening to elect officers and tinnsnrt
other business, nnd nlso to 013 Jims different mutters In connection with Iho improved outlook. At nn informal meeting
of the Sandon mine owners on Wulnesday
It wns decided that ns in the iadt *Mo meetings of tho association should not be cpen
to members of tho press, and "lint only
such Information ns wns thought advisable
by a majority of tho members should be
given out. Considerable nnnoynnce exists
In the town over tho notion of tho C. F, R.
in removing tho telegraph operator ft'rni
there on tho first of tho.nrssent month.
Tho station ngent now hns to do the
operator's work In addition to his other
duties, lie being tho sole officio] occupant
of the building. A. H. Lewis, who has been
agent nt Snndon for the pnst year, has
been transferred to Vancouver, nnd leaves
tomorrow for his now charge. H. Moyer,
formerly of Slocan, will replace him at
Snndon.
Kaslo Is very quiet ns yet, although the
merchnnts havo been doing considerable
business lately In supplying goods for the
now camps opening up at Poplar creek
and other points.
As most of the men who first ntakeo
claims In tho new fields wero from Kaslo,
they naturally nro getting tne balance of
their supplies there. Outside of ibis, however, tho town Is very quiet, n large number of men having gone to tiie 1 nrccnu
for the summer.
Reports coming in from iho nvj£t of
thoso who went from Kaslo ar? very ett
couraglng. Somo good strikes have Nin
mnde this week nlong Cnscnde octk
nbout two miles from Poplar creek. Of
tho claims staked on thnt cre?k In the
last two months, no less ilinn six have
proved to have well defined ledges ot high

ALASKA BOUNDARY DISPUTE
PROFESSOR TITTMAN TO ASSIST THB
AMERICAN COMMISSIONERS.
WHO   HAVE  BEEN   INSTRUCTED  TO
MAKE   NO   CONCESSIONS.
Now York, July 23.—Professor O. H.
Tittraan, superintendent of the United
States coast and geodetic survey, sails for
Europe today on an Important mission in
connection with the Alaska boundary
situation. Incidentally he will represent
this government. at the conference of tho
geodetic congress which meets at Copenhagen early noxt month.
After the adjournment ot the gon 'die
congress, professor Tlttman will go to
London to assist the American members
of tho Alaskan boundary commission, consisting of secretary Root, senator Lodge,
and former senator Turner, of Washington. Professor Tlttman Is one of tho best
posted men ln the United States on tho
Alaskan boundary question. For years he
hns made a special study of this subject,
and he has secured for the coast and geodetic survey a valuable collection of old
British and other maps, some of which,
tt Is said, show that the British geographers admit tho American contention,
and that the territory ln dispute belongs
to the United States. Professor Tlttman
has made an impartial study of the question, and as a result of his Investigation,
extended over a number of years, he is
firmly convinced that If an agreement is
reached by the commission It will be favorable to the United States.
He wns one of tho commissioners who
two years ago studied the original maps
in Cannda and examined boundary posts
In tho northwest country as a preliminary
to tho work of fixing the true boundary
lino. Whllo professor Tlttman Is not a
momber of tho commission, ho will have
great influence with Its members by giving the benefit of his technicnl knowledge
and experience.
In connection with the departure of professor Tlttman it is reported that the
boundary commission, consisting of secretary Root and senators Lodge and Turner,
will go to London with instructions to yield
nothing in view of the belief that tho claim
of the United States Is well authenticated.
Unless the British yield. It Is said, there
is sure to be a disagreement, nnd this will
practlcnlly decide the enso in favor of tho
United Stales, for in tho event of the
failure of tho negotiations this government
will stand by its clnim, retain central of
the territory in dispute, and in all probability wilt decline to enter into further
negotiations,

[Special to Tho Dally News.]
Morrissey Mines, July 23.—J. D. McDonald, general superintendent of the West
Kootenay Power & Light company's big
electrical power plant at Bonnlngton Falls,
In company with Thomas R, Stockett, Jr.,
general superintendent of the Crow's Nest
Pass Coal Company, limited, today visited
Morrlssey Mines In connection with the
Installation of un electric lighting system,
for lighting tho mine buildings, employees
houso, and tho town of Morrlssey Mines.
In conversation with your correspondent,
Mr. McDonald stated that the plant would
have a capacity of 3,000 lights, and would
bo a two-phase alternating system, the
ongino for operating the dynamos being
already on tlio ground.
Mr. Stockett stated thnt six carloads of
wooden stavo pipe, from six to twelve Inches ln diameter, had arrived for the
waterworks lino to the town, with two
carloads moro to arrive. The ditch for
this line, which will bo 16,000 to 18,000 feet
in longth, Is bolng rapidly opened by a
largo forco of men.
Material for slack coal storage bins at
tho coke ovens Is arriving ln largo quantities, nnd work on these will commence
immedintely. One million feet of timber
will be used In tho construction of theso
bins, which will have a storage capacity
of 5,000 tons of coal. Additional bins will
bo nlso constructed to contain coal for
domestic  purposes,
Sixty of the 250 coko ovens under construction are ready for the burning of coke
as rapidly as they are tilled. Tho regular
production of coke is expected to commence
by August 1st. The locomotive for coke
oven work will be here by the end of this
week.
The coal production at the Morrlssey
collieries Is steadily Increasing. Tho coal
soams here nre larger nnd more easily
worked than nt either Michel or Coal
creek, and It will bo only a mnttor of tlmo
until this is tho bnnner camp of tho Crow's
Nest Pass Coal Company, limited, in the
production of coal and coke.

[Special to The Daily News.]
Greenwood, July 23.—Considerable damage
was done yesterday afternoon by a violent wind storm, which came up Boundary
creek valley, tearing down trees by the
score and playing havoc with buildings
and other property. It did not last half
an hour, but during the short time the
wind was blowing It attained great velocity and brought with It clouds of dust
that darkened the atmosphere over tho
whole of tho valley. Rain followed and
cleared, tho air.
Between Boundary Falls and Greenwood the west fork stage was caught
where the main road passes through some
thickly timbered country. The branches
of a foiling tree struck tho owner and
driver, Georgo Mackenzie, knocking him
off the stage and stunning him. His startled horses galloped towards Greenwood,
leaving Mackenzie lying on the road.
When he regained his senses he found
that several trees had fallen about him,
but outsldo of a few bruises he escaped
unhurt His team reached GJ-eonwood
safely only to como to grief against a
telephone pole In the main street, which
broke up the stage.
At Greenwood smelter the big steel-plate
smokestack, weighing ten or twelve tons
and rising 90 feet above its brick base,
was toppled over and thrown across the
Deadwood branch of tho Columbia &
Western railway, Its steel cable stays
having been snapped as If they were light
lines. Tho upper half of the stack was
bent out of shape but the lower half
Is undamaged, and preparations nre now In
progress to place the Intter back In position, to serve Its purpose until nfter the
new brick stack, the erection of which
had already been decided upon, shall hnvo
been completed. It will not bo necessary
to shut down tho smelter whilst the erection of the stack Is under wny.
At the Russel, Law, dvffleld Co., Ltd.'s
large store building Jn Greenwood, part of
tho fine pinto glnss show windows wns
wrecked. Theso windows cost about $1,100
and they hnd been Insured with the New
York Pinto Glass Insurance company for
$900. The wind forced In a shoot of glass
six feet wide by thirteen feet eight Inches
high, at tho end of the southern window
thnt was exposed to tho full force of tho
.storm. Getting behind two sheets of
glnss, each nine feet wide by thirteen foot
eight Inches high, It blew these out on to
the sidewalk, shattering the glnss Into
numberless pieces and bending tho steel
nnd brass frames thnt held It. One of
the smnllor sheets nbove the large ones
was nlso broken. Altogether the dnmnge
hero amounted to about $500, which loss
will fall on the insurance company.
The outgoing Canndinn Pacific train from
Midway to Nelson run over the top branches of a tree that foil across the track
on a curve Just before Greenwood is
reached, but no hnrm resulted. Minor
damage to buildings, sign boards, nnd
ronds is reported from nil nround Greenwood. Gnngs of men are at work cutting
out fallen timber on ronds, whilst telegraph nnd telephono eompnnies nre busy

Newport, R. I., July 2.1.—In a race for a
special cup, Reliance guve Columbia the
worst beating she ever had, winning by
18 minutes 49 seconds.
The Reliance behaved handsomely in tho
rough water and out-footed and out-pointed
her rival nil the time. Off Point Judith,
heavier seas wore encountered, but tho
two racers mado easy way through them.
The Reliance drew away steadily and turned tho windward mark at 1.31:34. The
Columbia wore around at 1.35:55, four minutes and 20 seconds behind the leader.
Adding tho 39 seconds actual start the old
boat had over her rival, tho Reliance had
beaten her an oven five minutes in a 13 1-2
miles thresh to windward. _ Spinnakers
were set for the run to the second turn
and the Reliance increased her lead in
every mile. A slight fog was encountered
near the second turn, but captain Barr
had steered a true course and hit the
mark so exactly that he was able to get
around ahead of the Vigilant which hau
worked off to the southward of the turn.
Tho Columbia also hit the murk, but was
a little to the north of her course when
the Reliance pnssed her on the way to
the finish. It was a close lay to the line
from the second turn, hut the wind hauled
to tho westward still more and tho Reliance wns obliged to mako a short tack off
shore beforo she could fetch to the line.

LORD    CRANBORNB    CLAIMS    THAT
THERE IS NO CAUSE FOR ALARM
London, July 23.—The first mention of
the pope's doath Jn the house of commons
occurred this afternoon when Wm. Redmond, Irish nationalist, asked If tho flag
on the Victoria tower, and those on the
publlo grounds would be half-masted out
of respect to the late pope. The treasurer
of the household, replying for the government, said there wns no precedent for such
action, and the matter was now under consideration.
Mr. Redmond Invited a statement on tho
subject from the premier. Mr. Balfour
said It was not a question of respect to
the dead pope but a universal precedent
must bo regarded, and general rules must
fee observed Irrespective of sentiment.
Mr. Redmond then called the attention
of the government to the fact that flags
were lowered all ovor the United States by
order of tho president which, said he,
would perhaps Influence British action.
When the houso was In committee on the
foreign office vote, sir Charles Dllke attacked the foreign policy of the government which he said was strangely Inconsistent. He compared the recent visit of
king Edward to France and president
Loubet's visit to England with the government's attitude towards Germany and
accused the government of clinging to
Germany In the Venezuelan matter and
of "allowing themselves to be hoodwinked,
but," sir Chnrles added, "when there was
a popular cry against the government It
hatched up the Canndinn tariff nnd the
ministers hnd used language of absolute
ferocity   ngnlnst   Germany."
•Tho foreign under secretary vindicated
the policy of tho government In the matter,
saying that Britain wns on friendly terms
with nil the powers and that Great Britain
was not getting tho worst of it in Manchuria where Great Britain recognized the
open door policy. Referring to tho Canadian tariff dispute lord Camborne said
they must put their own colonies first.
Tho criticism of the government's foreign policy wns continued at the evening
session. Jos, Walton, liberal, who strongly favored an extension of British trade
by means of colonial departments, accused tho government of a succession of
humiliating surrenders in China. He said
tho time had nrrived for fnclng the situation ln Manchuria nnd New Chwang. Tho
under foreign secretary lord Cranborne.
said thnt tho British trado In China wns
still Increasing at a satisfactory rate and
he was confident of securing a full share
of valuable..concessions. The government,
ho said, was fully aware of tho position
of Manchuria. The great difficulty up to
the present time In negotiating with Russia wns thnt Great Britain had never yef
been able to ascertain what the Russian
government wanted and the fact remained
that Manchuria was still occupied. Russia's failure to fulfill her undertaking, he
said, was satisfactory neither to Great
Britain, Japan or the United States. Lord
Cranborne snld the Russian government
knew perfectly well that England would
bo delighted to come to an agreement,
but thero were difficulties. He doubled
whether the Russian government was so
homogeneous a despotism ns might be
supposed from her past history. There
seemed to bo at least two parties In the
government with whom he wns obliged
to denl, nnd England hnd never received
nn lntlmntion of what Russia expected.
"Our ally, Jnpnn," he said. "Is becoming
unensy nt tho prolongation of the occupation of Manchuria nnd we are equally noxious for a settlement. There are certain
elements out of which nn agreement ought
to bo possible and If Russia Is prepared
to give due weight to our treaty rights
and commercial Interests, sho will not
find us irreconcilablo to compromise."
Besides alluding to tho czar as a despot,
lord Cranborne mnde an indiscreet reference to France and John Redmond tried
to make It appear that the British government hnd suffered a rebuff in Its representations to Franco in behalf of tho expelled monks. In replying lord Cranborne
said thnt ho was not surprised nt Mr.
Redmond's remarks, nnd that he must
ngreo with him in deploring what hnd
occurred.
"Such a measure ns the nssoclntion law,"
ho said, "could never have been pnssed
In Englnnd nnd wo ennnot he but surprised, If one can say so of a groat neighboring nation, that France should think
It necessary to Introduce such a law."
Lord Crnnborne's remnrks woro tbe subject of special comment because of the
presence In London of tho French arbitration isfs.
' ed wrongful dismissal of plaintiff, who was
a cook In the employ of the defendants, Is
being heard before a jury.
George F. Williams, a commercial traveler, formerly In the drygoods business
ln Greenwood, has been examined for discovery before tho local registrar of tho
supreme court, W. G. McMynn, in connection with an action entered in tho
supreme court at Rossland by Mary F,
Williams against F, J, Flnucane and the
Bank of Montreal. Mr. Flnucane, who is
now ln charge of tho bank's branch ln
Spokane, was similarly examined several
weeks ago, Tho claim Is one made in connection with a settlement made by ire
defendants with an insuranco company
for compensation for damage done by flro
to stock in the assigned estate of George
F. Williams, plaintiff claiming that her
Interests were not taken into account In
such settlement, The matter will come
up for a decision at the next sitting of

IRISH NOBILITY,
London, July 23,-The educational campaign on the tariff program which colonial
secretary Chamberlain has vigorously
launched by means of leaflets and circulars, came In for a serious criticism In the
house of lords this evening. Earl Spencer, the liberal leader, complained that
Mr. Chamberlain was practically violating
tho government agreement, namely that
tho fiscal discussion should be postponed
until October. He said the distribution
of such literature looked on Its face as
though tho government had taken up Mr.
Chamberlain's views.
Earl Spencer added that If Mr. Chamberlain remained In the cabinet It would be
nlmost Impossible to disassociate his views
from tho policy of the government as a
whole.
Tho   duke   of  Devonshire,   conservative
lender in  the house, retorted  that whllo
he gathered from the remarks that the
premier ought to tell Mr. Chamberlain to
resign,  he  feared  this was rather illogical procedure  since,  though   the  govern*
nient hnd by no means held the views of
Mr.   Chamberlain,   the   government's   Investigation,   so   far ns  ft   bad   proceeded,
had convinced the  premier and  bis colleagues thnt Mr. Chnmberlnln's Impench-
ment of the fiscal policy was welt founded
and that It ought to be followed up.
Addressing   the   Primrose   league  at  a
dinner tonight at the hotel Cecil, premier
Balfour   warmly defended  colonial  secretary   Chamberlain   against   unreasonable
attacks because ho had given, as he hnd
tho right to do, expression to the views
of the colonies on the fiscal question.   No
man, Mr. Balfour said, had a better opportunity than Mr. Chamberlain, of knowing their views.   Mr.  Balfour  reiterated^
his previous statement that the  govern-*
ment  approached  tho  question   with  an
open mind and snld thnt It wns folly to
expect the ministry on a moment's notice
to produce a formulated scheme on such n
great    subject.     The    government    bad
pledged Itself not to nsk tho country to
ninke a change until after the general elections and premature and hasty parliamentary debate could only produce divisions
among   friends without   benefitting   the
country.

Dublin, July 2-J.—It was after midnight
when the day's festivities closed. The king
und queen held special court at the castle
last night In the famous St. Patrick's hall,

embroidered with gold. She wore varicolored jewels in tho form of shamrocks
and her diamond ornaments were set In
designs of rose,  thistle and shamrock.
Tlio influence of the sovereigns secured
a social re-union which English statesmen
hnd vainly sought to attain. Tho Irish
guards acted as a guard of honor nnd the
grand staircase was lined with lancers,
It was a function of regal magnificence
and it was not until the last name on the
list had been read out nnd tho Inst debutante had made her curtsey that their
majesties quilted tho scene.
Dublin, July 23.—King Edward today reviewed 15,000 troops and 5,000 men of tho

brilliant scene of the many witnessed since
their majesties arrived In Dublin. It was
the largest muster of troops ever seen in
Ireland. Tho duke of Connaught wns In
command. The king, who wore tho uniform of a field marsh.'ill, was attended by
tho lord lieutenant, the carl of Dudley,
and a numerous suite.

THE APPEAL TO CREED.
It appears to be the studied purpose of
the chief organ of tho conservative party
ln southern British Columbia to stir up
religious strife. Electors are to bo asked
to vote against the liberal party, not because of its sins of omission or commission, but because the premier of tho dominion is a Roman Catholic. It Is asserted with malicious mendacity that without tho Influence of the priests ln Quebec
Laurier would never have been tho premier of this dominion, and that the freedom
of tho people of Canada is being constantly restricted by the church. No Canadian,
be ho liberal or conservative, can bo Ignorant of tho fact tbat the liberal party,
under the leadership of Laurier, won out
in the campaign of 1898 ln faco of the open
avowed hostility of the Quebec bishops.
Laurier and liberalism wero denounced
from end to end of Quebec. Laurier, a
French-Canadian Ronlan Catholic, took
his political Ilfo in his hands to fight for
tho rights of tho English-Canadian Protestants of Manitoba. He made tho grandest fight for religious tolerance ever waged
In Cannda and gained for himself tho
respect of thousands who could not agree
with him In his political views.
In charging that the liberal party has
been subservient to tho Quebec hierarchy
the conservative organ utters a deliberate
falsehood knowingly and with the sole
object of arousing the passions and prejudices of men who may not be thoroughly
Informed upon the persistent and consistent attitude of liberals towards clerical
influence In politics, dominion or provincial.
British Columbia has heretofore been
freo from anything in the nature of religious strife. A man's creed has never been
called In question. No greater evil could
bo inflicted upon this province than a
war of creeds. Tho conservative cause
must Indeed bo In a bad way when It is
considered advisable to drag religion Into
tlio controversy. We cannot believe that
this attempt to stir up religious strife
meets with tho approval of thoughtful
men In Iho conservative party ot this
province. Whilst there may bo grave differences of opinion among British Colam-
blans as to the efficacy of this or that
policy, surely we aro all, conservatives and
liberals alike, of ono mind today that
men's religious beliefs should be respected
even in the heat of tho most bitter political campaign.
If there were tho slightest ground for
attack upon tho liberal party because of
its attltudo towards the church, there
might be some excuse for tho appeals now
being made to the electorate, but no vestige of proof can bo adduced to show that
creeds have hod any weight In the administration of affairs by liberal governments,
either dominion or provincial. Tho business of tho country has been conducted
with an entire absence of clerical interference, This Is as It should be and as
It must be if freedom from religious strife
Is to prevail In Canada.
TO AVERT DEFEAT.
Tho Rossland Miner has now come to
the conclusion that unless the conservative candidates In southern British Columbia enn secure tho votes of tho men who
claim to bo legally entitled to licenses to
prospect for coal and oil on cortatn lands
In east Kootenay thoy have precious little
chance of being elected.
In order to secure these votes tho Miner
suggests that John Houston, president of
tho provlnclnl conservative association
should Join with tho editor of tho Miner
In somo sort of a crusado to compel the
party chiefs to give tho prospectors their
rights.
The Miner puts the ense bluntly,   It says:
"There aro corporation Influences within the party that are trying to tho best of
their abilities to keep the prospectors and
tho common people out of their just and
uiKiucstlonnblo tights and dispone of thoso
lands for tho solo benefit of tho C. P. R,
or tho Crow'B Nest conl monopoly."
Premier MeBrldo's position Is that ho
will do nothing until after tho olcctlons.
Ho realizes tho Importance ot securing
these votes for his candidates but ho is
afraid to tnko action. Ho wants to keep
tho prospectors guessing and at tho same
timo !'•■,;.In the corporation Influences of
which tho Miner complains.
Jfi Atoll/ tio-nj^    M*nS4*U  4*4AAo>V4-  C 0>   of tfjU
There Is ono right and proper course for
the McBrido government to adopt In this
case, and that is to at once set about
securing to every man his legal rights in
the premises. If there be any doubt as
to the legality of tlio claims of any of the
alleged bona fide prospectors a test caso
should be taken to tho supreme court.
McBride's do-notiting policy is unfair to
all concerned and it Is working grave injury to southern British Columbia.
EDITORIAL NOTES,
Tho fact that there wero twenty-four
prohibition candidates in the field In tho
recent Manitoba elections, and that of this
number fifteen were liberals and tho balance independents accounts for the active
partisanship of the licensed victuallers'
association. The liquor men to a man
voted and worked for the torles, tho understanding being that In the event of the
government being sustained no more should
be heard of the Liquor License act, introduced by the conservatives in pursuance
of pledges made but never put Into force.
Tlio saloon keepers no doubt feel that
everything will bo lovely now.
Nanaimo politicians are discussing the
possibility ot an alliance between tho McBrido government nnd tlio socialist party.
It Is alleged by the Nannlino Herald that
tho socialist lender, J. II. Hawthonith-
waite, has somo understanding with McBride. Nannlino conservatives will be asked to support the former's candidature instead of putting up a straight party candidate. In Yale it is openly asserted that
a socialist candidate has been promised
tho support of the conservative party,
though some of the leading men in tiie
party, liko Semlin, Langley and judgo
Cornwall don't take kindly to the Idea.
No alliance that McBride might enter into
would occasion much surprise nfter his
acceptance of Gifford, a pronounced liberal,
as a government candidate in New Westminster.
Peter M. Arthur, iho grand engineer of
tho Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, who dropped dead while speaking at
the banquet closing tho annual convention
of tho brotherhood at Winnipeg on July
16th, was ono of the most remarkable
men of his time, Whllo running his engine dally, he took an active part In tho
organization of the engineers Into the brotherhood, and was soon recognized by his
fellow members ns a natural leader, and
mado their presiding officer. He set his
face against strikes and avoided entangling alliances with other organizations, believing that the brotherhood would best
achieve success and prosperity by minding its own business. In dealing with the
railroad officials In all parts of tho country, his candor, moderation of speech, but
forceful representation of tho wishes and
claims of tlio engineers, commanded universal respect. All parties in contention
camo to look upon him as an upright
friend, and the engineers found their condition in life constantly improving under
the concessions he peacefully gained for
them. They re-elected him with acclamation at every term ending, and by the
time when ho died had come to almost
idolize him. When he rose to speak at
the banquet In Winnipeg, ho was greeted
with deafening applause, which must have
touched him deeply. He began as follows: "Out of the fulness of the heart
tho mouth speaketh." Then after a few
sentences of grateful acknowledgment
of tho happiness ho felt in meeting his
fellow members of the brotherhood, and
impressing them with the great value of
their organization, in the very act of commencing what ho said were his parting
words to many of them, ho fell backward,
nnd In forty minutes hnd passed to his
rest.
EXPERIMENTAL   FARMS.
Minister of Agriculture's Reply to Resolution  of Associated  Boards.
Thjo following correspondence passing)
between the secretary of tho associated
boards of trade of eastern British Columbia nnd hon. Sydney Fisher, minister
of agriculture, Is self-explanatory: '
Hon. Sydney Fisher, Minister of Agriculture,   Ottawa:—
Sir,—At a meeting of the associated
boards of trado of eastern British Columbia, held at Fernle, March 18th and 19th,
the following resolution  was adopted:
Resolved, that the (dominion government be requested to establish an experimental orchard at some favorable location
In tho Rocky mountain region.
Wo beg to sny in support of this resolution that wo do not consider the work
carried on at the experimental farms at
present established, even thnt at Agasslz,
in our own province, as being of any
special value as guides to thoso desiring
to cultivate orchards nt high altitudes.
That portion of the province to which wo
refer, lying between the lovels of, say,
1,000 to 3,000 foot above tho sea, Is very
largo much larger, for Instance, than the
three eastern provinces of tho dominion,
Much of It Is precluded by natural conditions from over becoming useful ns agricultural or pastoral land, but yet Is, wo
believe, well adapted to fruit growing. Tt
would not bo necessary flint such orchards
aa wo ask for should be on nn expensive
scale, We think that a few experiments
of small orchards planted in different
positions, some on gravel benches, some
on rocky hillsides, and conducted with
skill and patience, would point the way to
tho establishment of a vast Industry.
I havo tbo honor to bo, etc.,
H. W.  C.   JACKSON,
Secretary Associated Boards of Trade of
Eastern  British Columbia.
Ottawa,   June 17th,  1003.
Dear Sir,—In my absence In Japan your
letter of March 24th, with statement of a
resolution adopted by the associated
boards of trade of eastern British Columbia, la regard to the establishment of nn
experimental orchard In tho Rocky mountain region, camo to tho department and
was duly acknowledged by the deputy
minister.
I may say that requests somewhat similar to this are frequently received from
different parts of tho dominion, nsking for
an extension of the experimental farm
system and the establishment of extra
experimental farms.
In the first place, the Experimental Farm
act distinctly limits tbo number of farms
to be established, and such n farm could
not he established without an amendment
to tiie act. In consequenco of tho very
grent number of such requests an amendment to the act to cover such an object
would Involve an immediate and very
great expenditure of public money.
Tho matter has beon discussed by myself
and my officers of the department, and
with mnny members of parliament, for
a number of years, nnd we have thought
that tho mono/ could bo expended In
other ways which aro more advantageous
and profitable to agriculture than by
establishing additional experimental stations or farms, I do not think at the present tlmo this decision of the government
Is likely  to bo altered.
Yours very  truly.

THREE NEW AIRSHIPS
Havo Been Entered for tho World's Fair
Aerial  Tournament.
Three moro airships have been invented
and will be entered In the world's fair
aerial lournamont to compete for tho
Brand prize of 1100,000.
W. M. Morris, of Monte Vista, California, a mining engineer, is one of tho contestants. His machine will bo 30 feet in
diameter and 150 feet long when fully
rigged. Aluminun will bo tho material
used In its construction, but no gas bag
will bo used as In other flying machines.
E. A. Klndler, a Denver, Colorado, man,
has completed a model for aa airship and
conducted a satisfactory test. He will
enter It In tho contest for tho $100,000 prize
at the fair. Safety appliances are a fea
turo of the airship. Canvas Haps three
feet wldo extend entirely mound the
balloon as on Stevens' airship. Those are
limp except in caso of sudden descent,
when they open out lileo umbrellas or
parachutes andVire largo enough to cheek
descent to a gentleness devoid of danger
should the gas bags fall completely,
Motivo power Is furnished by a storage
battery. Tho framework, which Is made
of aluminum and light steel tubing, with
the motor, battery and propeller, which
is six feet from tip to tip and hns four
blades, will weigh about 300 pounds. A
test was made recently of the model.
The machine Is said to have described a
circle of about 60 foot In diameter, rising,
dipping, and finally descending to its moorings without a hitch in its mechanism.
Streator, Illinois, will be represented In
the aerial tournament by an airship planned by Mr. Reiforscheld, of that town,
Reiferscheld's machine consists of a bnl-
loon pointed at both ends and lying in a
horizontal position. Around this balloon
are strips of aluminum strong enough to
mako a substantial framework. At each
end are the propellers, bIx In all, to be
used In rising and lowering tho machine
and to assist in guiding It. A six horse
power gasoline motor will provide tho
motve power and the balloon will be
filled with hydrogen gas and hermetically
sealed. Largo fans will provide a safely
device which will permit the ship to
descend slowly in enso  the balloon  col-
ESQUIMALT TO BE REDUCED.
Victoria, July 23.—It Is reported on good
authority that the Esquimau naval station, headquarters of the British forces
In the Pacific, Is to be reduced to a commodore's command when rear-admiral
Blckford retires In October. Captain E.
C. Goodrich, of IT. M. S. London, of the
Mediterranean squadron, is mentioned as
the admiral's successor. He will bo promoted commodore on appointment, Lieutenant-colonel Grant, of tho royal artillery, In command of the military forces at
Esquimau has been ordered home. Ho
will bo succeeded by major Gordon.
A STRANGE COINCIDENCE.
Dublin, July 23.—Of the many persons
who attended tho brilliant court hold today by tho king and queen, probably not
ono recalled the Interesting fact that it
was exactly 100 years ago, on the evening
of July 23rd, 1803, that Robert Emmet sallied forth with his armed band to attack
Dublin castle, In which today's function
was held. The insurgents on tho way met
in Thomas street tho carriage of lord
Kilwarden, tiie lord chief justlco of Ireland, who was dragged out of his carriage and received wounds which proved
fatal.
GREAT CRAB FEAST.
Baltimore, Maryland, July 23.-Probably
without parallel was the groat crab feast
given at Love point today In honor of the
delegates and visitors to the national convention of  Elks.  The   chief business  of
tbo convention was all disposed of yesterday, and with decks cleared tho 20,000 Elks
woro prepared to enjoy to the utmost tho
unique fenst arranged by tlioir local
brethren of the antlered herd.
One hundred and fifty thousand is the
estimated number of crabs that fell victims to the repast. They wore served
stewed, deviled, steamed, fried, In sandwiches, in soup and in salad. Two hundred negro "mammies" witii bandanas
and aprons, wero employed to do the serving. They were strung along tho shore
with tripods for tlio preparation of soup
and other forms of cooked crab. Each
"mammy" was assisted by two black
piekinJnnies, nnd tlio scene wns truly
typical of the "sunny south."
CARDINAL GIBBONS' BIRTHDAY.
Tho Great American Prelate a Candidate
for tho Chair of St. Peter.
Washington, July 23.—Cardinal Gibbons,
of Baltimore, who is now in Europe to
attend the conclave which Is to choose
tho successor to popo Leo XIII., Is 09 years
old today. It Is an odd coincidence and
especially interesting in connection witii
tho gossip concerning cardinal Gibbons'
chances of succeeding to the chair of St.
Peter to note the fact that tiie cardinal
has now reached the exnet ngo at which
Leo XIII., then cardinal Pecei. was rk'.'i-
ed popo.
Cardinal Gibbons wns born July 23rd,
18.H In the state of Maryland. After spending some tlmo in Ireland with his father,
he returned to Maryland, nnd In 18.ri7 graduated from St. Charles college June 301b.
1801, the late archbishop Kenrlck ordained
him a priest of St. Mary's seminary. So
rapid was Ills advance in tho priesthood,
and tho recognition accorded him for his
great abilities, that August 10th, 1868, ho
was consecrated bishop and vicar apostolic of North Carolina. Four years later
he was transferred to Richmond, Virginia. In 1S77 ho wns appointed coadjutor
with the right of succession to archbishop
Bailey, and In October of tbo same year he
succeeded to the sec of Oil Mm >'<*, In l.'i'G
he received tho crowning honor of his
life, nnd distinguished tribute wns paid
to the church in America by his elevation to the cnrdlnnlite.

STATE RAILWAYS IN AFRICA
CHAMURRLAIN'8     SOUTH     AFRICAN
RAILWAY   SCHEME.
IMPORTANT ADVANCE IN DIRECTION
OF  STATE   OWNERSHIP.
Whllo somo Canadians aro professing
to doubt tlio wisdom of Canada's financing
a new transcontinental line, Mr. Chamberlain is enthusiastically embarking tlio two
new African colonics upon nn enterprise
perhaps quite ns vast In proportion to their
abilities. Not merely is ho committing
tho two colonics to It, just out of n ruinous war as thoy arc, but ho Is also committing the credit of Britain, in tho shape
of a guarantee to tlio necessary loan.
Tho nature of tho colonial secretary's proposal for a Joint fund In tho two colonics for certain specific purposes has escaped much of the attention it would otherwise have received because of other matters cropping up at the samo time; but,
remarks tho Toronto News, It is especially
worth considering for Canada at tho present moment.
It Is not wholly a financial proposal,
for the element of gift enters into it. And
It is certainly not a proposal which would
bo possible In any other country In the
world. For this Joint fund, whose sole
asset is to bo the colonial railways, Is to
have an obligation imposed on It of thirty*
five millions sterling. Twenty-two nnd n
half millions consists of obligations Incurred for tho colonies by tho Imperial
exchequer In tlio process of making peace,
and ngalnst theso not an asset is provided.
But the British government permits the
Joint commissioners of tho two colonies
to acquire for iCll!,BOO,000 a railway system
whoso annual earning powers are placed
at £2,500,000. How this estimate of tho
vuluo of tho railway Is arrived at wo arc
not Informed. Most of tho line, it will he
remembered, was "spoils of war," and presumably the British government can afford
to let It go cheap. In fact, the policy of
taking public works as spoils to ft U them
at a profit to the colony needing them
would not bo tolerated in Britain. The
customers of these extremely remunerative lines have been accustomed to being
bled, and not only will thoro bo no attempt at taxation In tho shape of Incrcas
ed charges, but tho estimated revenue of
two and a half millions Is calculated on u
somewhat reduced tariff. Without committing himself to tho rnto of interest or
of sinking fund appropriation, Mr. Chamberlain pointed out that a four per ceul
rato on tho total Indebtedness of vl.e :ttr.t
fund would call for £1,400,000, leaving
£1,100,000 to ho devoted lo railway extensions and maintenance.
The most interesting part of tho transaction is tho unqualified way In which Mr.
Chamberlain promises the ownership and
tho working of this railway system by
tho two colonics In co-operation. Ho not
merely adopts it as tho most feaslblo plan,
but of tho stato railway corporation thus
constituted he mnkes tho solo guarantee
towards the British taxpayer for a debt
of £35,000,000. He docs this moreover
without tho assurance which would be
afforded by possessing a long tried nnd
experienced civil service1. Tlito present
railway management in tho Transvaal and
tho Orange River colonies is reported to
bo admirably efficient, but It has not long
superseded military control, and certainly
lias not hnd a free hand or a sufficient
timo to prove its ability. The materials.
It Is true, nro known to bo forthcoming.
A great part of the staffs both of the
Orange Free State's railway department
and the Netherlands company, wero of
British nationality, and tho administration
of both systems, except in tho highest
quarters, was good. But tho Transvaal
and Orange River civil service, wo ropeat,
remains to bo proven.
Tho South African ense fs one, nlso, to
which many of the stock arguments In
favor of government control do not apply.
The railway Involved Is not one roqulrng
government aid or government financing.
It Is, on the contrary, n. system which
private capitalists would gladly pay a substantial sum for tlio privilege of operating. Again, tho governments thnt will
operate it have at present nothing invested
In It, and nothing to collect from it. They
nre about to purchase It from a friendly
government, nt nn extremely advantageous
price, and that is all. It is not a pioneer
enterprise for tho employment of the colonies, though if Mr. Chamberlain's estimates bo correct it may bo mado the
foundation of much pioneer extension to
bo pnld for out of Its profits. Finally, it
is not a political road. It Is expressly
designated that confederation, whether
of tho two colonies concerned or of British South Africa generally, is In no way
nlmed nt by the new measure; and that
Indeed for tho Imperial government to
pursue such nn nim under tho guise of a
railway fund, whllo the conquered provinces remain crown colonics, would be a
distinct breach of fnlth,
Taken as a whole, then, Mr. Chamber-
Iain's South African railway scheme may
bo regarded ns a very courageous and
Important advance in the direction of state
ownership, stato control nnd state development of railways. For that purpose he
has created a special limited union of two
colonies which beforo wore absolutely distinct, and hns organized a new public
body and lent to It the imperial guarantee
for an enormous bond issue. In this, as In
other matters, Mr. Chamberlain shows
himself a stntesman unusually abreast
with   modern  thought.
HOW GOLD NUGGETS GROW.
Observation   Shows    They    Inerense   in!
Weight With Lapse of Years.
Gold in its natural state, like other products of tho earth, Is an article of development. What Its original elements are
is still'a matter of somo speculation, but
tho fact has been demonstrated that a
nugget of tho precious mctnl left in Its
original environments will gradually,
though slowly, attract to itself minute
particles of gold dust, and after tho lapse'
of years possess an added value. Gold
is known to have grown on mine timbers
which havo long been immersed in mine
water. In the California stato mining
bureau museums thero is a specimen of
a piece of Jointed cap and post taken from
tlio Comstock, whero it had been under
water for years, in which gold was formed
in tho Joints and pores of tho wood.
Gold is constantly being formed In
rocks nnd veins and placers. Just what
it is that tho baby gold formation feeds
on to effect Its growth is not known; If It
were a new and wonderfully locative industry might be born and all other kinds
of farming save the growing of gold
might bo  temporarily   abandoned.     Tho

formation and growth nro due to mechanical and chemical action. As in the case
of the animal or vegetable, existing gold
hns existed In somo other stato before
assuming Its present form. Waters which
percolate through the earth's crust ore
said to contain substances from which
gold is formed. Thus gold, liko the ani-
mnl nnd vegetable, must havo water in
order to thrive. Tho gold in the water is
deposited when it meets tho proper precipitant. Tho precipitant may be an oartb
current  of  electricity  in   tho   rocks.
It has boen claimed that the nuggets
found In placers aro tho formations from
tho waters that percolate through the
gravels and nre not from decomposed
quartz, as generally supposed. Those who
so contend cite the fact that in the centre
of the nugget can often be found a small
grain of iron snnd. This was the nucleus
around which the earth current of electricity created or deposited in electroplating. During long ages this influence was
at work causing the gold lo form around
tho littlo grain or Iron ore and then grow
to become a bright, shining nugget of
gold much larger and purer than any ever
found In the veins of ore.

WHEN IN ROSSLAND stop at the
HOFFMAN HOUSE,
ARBITRATIOHJN MISSOURI
THE STATE BOARD'S SATISFACTORY
SETTLEMENT OF LABOR DISPUTE
ARISING OUT OF EIGHT HOUR LAW
IN   THE   LEAD  DISTRICT.
An Interesting Instance of the satisfactory working out of state arbitration Is
given In the recent settlement of what
promised to be a prolonged strike, chiefly
over the eight hour law In some Missouri
lead camps.
The Missouri state board of arbitration,
after a session extending over seven days,
has recently effected a settlement of the
strike of the employes of the Commercial
Lead cdmpany (which leasing company
is operating tho Columbia Lead company's
properties) and at the same time establishing a scale of wages which will, It Is
expected, be used as a basis for the payment of workmen in other lead properties
throughout the disseminated lend district.
Tho strike only Involved the employes of
the Commercial, Federal nnd Derby companies, although backed up by a majority
of the employes of the other lead companies,
Tho last session of tho Missouri legislature passed a bill which afterwards
became a law prohibiting persons nnd corporations from working laborers in shelters and all other Institutions for the re-»
ductlon or refining of ores more than eight
hours in a day of 24 hours, and fixing eight
hours ns a working day for such laborers.
Violations of the provisions of this particular section of the law were punishable
by flno of not less than $25 or more than
WOO.       ,
Tho abolition of 10 nnd 12 hour shifts
and the enforcement of the eight-hour
working day, with a 20 cent raise per day
for tiie underground employes of the companies wore tho main issues of the strike.
A lockout followed a demand for these
concessions at the Commercial and Federal
plants, effecting five shifts. The mine
operators found great difficulty in keeping the water in their shaft under control. Some trouble followed and thirty
nrmed guards were placed on duty at the
Columbia shaft and mill. Troops were
asked for but declined. Manager Cnnt-
well, of the Commercial company, proposed arbitration and the state board was
called In. Its members made a thorough
Investigation nnd held at Farmington several sessions during which they heard evidence of the interested parties. It wns
declardcd by the men that tho lowest
wages paid were $1.30 per day and tho
highest $2.25, the average being $1.55. Tho
union men declnred that they hud no intention or desire to Injure tho properties
of the companies Involved and under the
direction of the board, firemen and engineers wero sent to tho power plants involved in tho strike, with orders lo keep
tho pumps going during the settlement of
tho strike.
The different managements declared that
the recent eight hour law did not effect
concentrating plants—which did not refine
lend—but only smelting and refining, holding thnt reduction was purely a physical
and not a chemical change. Since the
eight hour law covering underground work
had gone Into effect two years ago, they
had compiled with its terms, also,- declared tho operators. After tbo evidence
had been considered tho workmen mnde
several concessions nnd nn agreement was
reached. By its terms the eight hour men
surrendered a 10-cent raise per day which
they wero given May 1st, The twelve-
nour men woro placed on nn eight-hour
basis. Tho ton-hour men, including yardmen and unskilled labor, received no reduction of hours. Tho union men gave a
guarantee that In the event of a future
strike lliey would not molest the firemen
or pumpmen. The contract between tho
employes of tho Commercial Lead company and Its employes, signed by their respective attorneys, established the following daily scale: Roll men, $1.50; Jig men,
$1.75; table men, $1.05; lend wheelers (barrow men), $1.50; oilers, $1.50; shift bosses,
$2,15; engineers, $2.15. It wns also agreed
thnt the company had the right to tost tho
constitutionality of the law.

ZINC TO THE FRONT.
The Increasing Demand For Spelter Causing Excitement in the Mining World.
The greatest advancement which has
been mode In the employment of *inc in
manufacturing practice has been In Its
adaption to spun and drawn work, says
tho Zinc and Lead News. As a substitute
from brass It meets many of tho requirements to which only tho alloy had formerly been employed. For casting purposes perfect spelter Is replacing the
various soft metals or alloys. It also possesses qualities which lead alloyfl do not,
being quite stiff and capable of taking on
a high polish. Even this avenue of consumption of spelter may be regarded as
in its Infancy, for there are yet difficulties which have not beon overcome. How-
over, some of the most expert workers in
motals nro now engaged in the solution
of these problems and the indications at
this time warrant the declaration that in
the next few years aa the manufacturers
of spelter continue the Improvement of
their product, many hitherto apparent Impossibilities will have been overcome and
the use of zinc in newer avenues of consumption made easy.
The use of zinc in roofing is Increasing
Jiroughtout the United States, where until very recent years, there has been littlo
sheet zlno used for this purpose as compared to its extensive use in Europe. Manufacturers of zinc shingles or roofing
plates are Increasing in number, especially
throughout the onst, where thus far the
greater portion of the domestic product
has been used. Tests through New England and In New York state have been in
progress for moro than a score of years
and the testimony of those who havo
roofed structures in this fashion has been
unanimously ln Its favor. Manufacturers
report improved business in these lines
and indications of a greater increase during the next decade than since the industry has beon fairly Inaugurated in this
country.
Zinc smelters themselves nro constantly
experimenting In an effort to extend the
fields in which their product can be cm-
ployed and In many Instances the results
thus far accomplished will be of no little
Interest and valuo to tho metal working
trades.

pieces. It has now reached the stago when
to properly, repair It will cost several
hundred dollars, while another season of
neglect will probably leave no wharf to
repair. Tho stenmboat companies did somo

owners thero this evening. He stated that

growing steadily in strength and Influence
nnd that Its sphere of usefulness was enlarging all the time. Regarding the exhibit for tho St. Louis fair from this country Mr. Keen said that the officers of the
association were working hard to havo
as creditable a showing mnde ns possible.
The tlmo consumed In corresponding with
Ottawa was most vexatious, as it led to
noedless delays. There was also a lack
of Interest In tho exhibit In somo quarters
which was reprehensible, ns thoro could
bo no moro fitting tlmo or place to advertise tho mineral resources of the province
thnn at this fair. If a large, well assorted
exhibit was sent out. It would attract a
corresponding amount of notlco from visitors nnd the press of the states, whereas
if only n smnll exhibit wns sent It would
never bo noticed.

SILVER AT SIXTY-FIVE.
Byron N. White's View of the Market-
Slocan Star Paid Another Dividend.
Byron N. White, of the Slocan Star, was
in tlio city last evening on his way nortli
to tho mine, leaving on the Kaslo early
this morning. Mr. White Is a great believer In tho Immediate future of this section of the Kootenays. "You havo seen
tho worst of It," he said last night. "I
firmly believe that there Is a great time in
storo for you people here. Next spring
will seo this section busier than it has ever
yet been. This city nnd possibly Kaslo;
will benefit by the new order of things.
You have tho greatest and richest mineral
country on earth at your back and the development of It hns only just begun. I
know plenty of mining men who have
been through hero and have wandered off
to other mining fields but they are all glad
to got back here, they can't find a better
spot to do business In and now that n
revival has started here again, you will
find them Hocking In here at a great rate."
"What do I think about the future of
silver? Why, I am of the opinion that
you will see the metal at 65 cents by the
1st of January, if not before. People who
nro In closest touch with the authorities
on tho subject on the other side of the lino
nil talk that way and have been doing so
for months past and they now claim that
what they said when the year first opened
eioa since taken place nnd they are now
more settled In their views than ever.
With silver at (5 cents nnd a lead bounty
10 belp out why should not this section
jump right up nnd be really better than
we have ever known It. Why of course it
will.
"About tho lead bonus? Well, I hardly
know yet how It will work out. It will be
all right If the producer gets it and I
think ho will. If trouble should arise
with the smelters now In existence, the
jsllver-lead men njjo now quite strong
enough to get together and put in a smelter of their own and they'll do it too, If
it becomes necessary.
"Wo have had to stop shipments at the
Star for a whllo owing to tho spring
floods, but they are al! over now and we
will resume again. "We ship about 200 tons
a month when things ore running all
right. Yes, wo paid a dividend of $25,000
a short tlmo ago and that makes pretty
nearly an even half million that the Star
has paid Its owners from the start.
"No, wo did not say much about the
dividend; It was not considered advisable
at tho time for obvious reasons," said
Mr. White, with n smile. "It might have
been misunderstood In the east," he added.
"You have a scarcity of men through
here they tell me. Well, that will regulate Itself ln good time. Any miner who
has ever worked In here will be only too
glad to get back again and as the news of
tho revival here gets known on the outside, the miners will come In here again
very promptly. I see nothing but increasing prosperity In store for you people.
Nelson certainly will Jump ahead In the
new order of things and I think all this
section  will   advance   rapidly."
