Half the population 13 terrorized and the other half is mad with blood. The troops from the ganl- sen, amid the shouts of approval from the mob, repeatedly refuiad to fire or. the people and the work of repression fell upon the police and civil guards. They charged the revolutionists and used their firearms freely everwhere, but numbers were against them. The streets are in possession of the barricaded insurgents. . The destruction of property has been great. Barcelona is completely isolated and is running short of food. CEBRERA. on the Spanish frontier, July 30—All the reports received here from Spain confirm tho terrible fury of the women throughout Catalonia. In Barcelona they fought behind the barricades with the men, urging them to fight to the death, and everywhere fhay resisted searches by gendarmes for recruits for 'ihe reserves, barring the doors of their houses and firing at tho soldiers from behind Ibe windows. Not only Ln Barcelona but throughout the province, church property was the special object of their fury. Horrible reports are coming In of the merciless fashion In which the churches and convents were sacked and burned. The inmates of the Institutions were "driven Info the fields to the sound of cries of "down with the church," PARIS, July 30—There Is no confirmation of the report that queen Victoria of Spain and the queen-mother.

July 30—Sneclnl dlsnatches received here from Melllla say that the Spanish cruiser Numancla is now shelling the heights of Mount Gttruga which Is swarming with Moors. MELILLA. July 30—The Moors have withdrawn from 'the outskirts of the city. It Is believed they are concentrating for a new effort. They burned hundreds of their dead whom they were unable to carry off. After the tribesmen had retired the work of burying the Spanish dead, after lying long In the sun, was hurriedly accomplished in tho ravines here. Some of tlie Spanish troops were ambushed while trying to rescue a convoy. The ground was covered with heaps of corpses. The bodies hail been stripped of their arms and many of them mutilated after death. The bodies were dumped Into holes. The steamer Movilla has arrived here with hundreds of tons of shells for the artillery and cartridges for the soldiers, whose ammunition was running low. The greatest confusion reigns at the army headquarters. The over worked staff seems demoralized, Exact figures of the dead and wounded since the heavy fighting broke out With the Moors are refused. The Madrid authorities fear the arrival in Spain of Alexandra Leroux who is on his way to Europe from Brand, to place himself at the head of the revolution. He holds the workingmen's organizations In the hollow of his hand. Last year,.after a secies of bitter articles against the government he was condemned to two years' imprisonment but fled to Brazil.

PARIS, July SQ—The news of the local defeat inflicted on (lie Spanish forces by the Moors at Melllla and the confirmation of the extent of the Insurrection in Spain, caused apprehension here. The triumph of the Moors on the Riff coast perhaps will inflame all Islam and cause an uprising in Algeria and the Soudan. The attack upon tlu French troops at Colomb-Bechar, the other day, is now regarded here as a direct consequence of Ihe events on the Riff coast. Some of the Paris newspapers therefore boldly suggest that in the interests of duty Europe should come to the rescue. The Eclair says it is impossible for Europe to bow before the insolently triumphant Moors nnd that Christian civilization cannot nfford to allow Spain to be beaten.. On the other hand, many newspapers declare that the Melllla disaster recalls Ihe muddle and incapacity of ovary department in the Spanish government during the Cuban war and also the private Intrigues which led to the Boot- war. The Spanish ambassador in Paris lias transmitted a note to the French gov- ernment formally declaring Hint Ihe Riff campaign was not undertaken with the object of conquest but solely to punish the Moors for their attack on Spaniards and their ef front, to the Melllla garrison. The Spanish ambassador in an interview today attributes the upheaval In Barcelona solely to the anarchists nnd he Is confident that it will be suppressed promptly. He explains that the government intends to satisfy the popular demand regarding military service and that It Is already introduced in the senate for that purpose.

CONQUERS AIR Orville Wright Attains Height of Success HE BREAKS ALL RECORDS AT SPEED OF OVER 42 MILES AN HOUR'WRIGHT MAKES GREAT CROSS COUNTRY TRIP—HAS NOW (MET GOVERNMENT REQUIREMENTS WASHINGTON,. July. 30 — Orville Wright ihis evening attained the zenith of his hard earned success In a ten mile cross country flight in the aeroplane built by himself and his elder brother, Wilbur aud, accompanied by Lieut. D. J. Foolers, an officer of tlie signal corps, he not only surpassed the speed requirements of his contract with ibe United Slates government, but accomplished the most difficult and daring flight ever planned for a heavier than air flying machine. Incidentally he broke all speed records over a similar course, Wright's speed was more than 42 miles an hour, He made the ten miles In 14 minutes and 42 seconds, including more than 20 seconds required for the turn beyond tlie line at Shutter Hill, the southern end of the course. He attained a height of 'nearly 500 feet and his average altitude was practically on level country about 250 feet. President Taft arrived upon ihe scene jusi in time to see the aeroplane start and participate In the demonstration with which tho aviators set out. He sent Col. Treat, commanding officer of the artillery at Fort Meyer, to bear his congratulations to tlie victors, Follbwing a terrific wind and rain storm early in Ihe afternoon, the atmosphere became clear and quiet. Despite the failure of the army field telegraph lines depended on for communication between ibe two ends of the course. Arville Wright seised at the best weather conditions he had yet had for the speed test. Tbe engine worked perfectly, Lieut. Foulers climbed into tlie passenger's seat beside tlie motor, Wilbur took his place at the right of the planes and Orville clambered into the seat behind Foulers. He gripped the levers and nodding to ids brother, lei loose the cable which released tlie starting weight. The machine then started down the track. As If drawn up by Invisible hands, Ihe white winged man-bird rose higher and higher. Hats and handkerchiefs were waving, automobile horns were tooling and some over wrought spectators even wept. Orville brought tin1 machine at great speed twice around lite field, and then with a short turn ho swept about almost over the heads of the spectators and started straight over the centre of the drill Held. "They're off" shouted n thousand voices as like a giant bird the machine swept unswervingly straight to tlie south, passing over the heavily wooded country in tiie distance until it beams a mere speck above Ibe horizon. Those who had glasses saw the aeroplane turn first to left, then to right above Shutter Hill. Suddenly the hdprV ■* '--' '•> view and as seconds passed a silence grew upon the crowd, a silence that spoke of deep concern. Wilbur Wright, standing with levelled glasses beside his sister, strained his gaze in an effort to catch a sight of tlie aeroplane when it should rise again above the sky tine. Seconds seemed minutes and as the interval became seemingly alarming bis agitation was evident. Suddenly the speck came into sight again, over the distant hill. A cry swept over the watching crowd. "There it is." everybody said, and the sigh of relief was plainly audible. Onward the nnclilne came seemingly swerved from Its course by the westerly breeze. Soon the aerial navigators were home again over the drill grounds, flying very low. Orville steered straight across the field nnd at a height of 20 feet swung round again to the southward and landed verv easily far down tlie field. Thp task was done and fn triumph. Cheer upon cheer welcomed the return. There was a forward rush of tbe crowd which almost eluded the cordon of mounted men on guard.

One of the necessary facilities would he the establishment of a grain sacking plant at. Vancouver or some Pacific seaboard town. Wheat has been shipped from Portland to England and ihe western grain men are enterprising enough to see the advantage of shipping via ilie western route thus cutting off etlie iongrailway haul to the Atlantic seaboard. The advantage i,n sacking is that the wheat cannot be packed so tightly in Ihe vessels, thus preventing the heating of tiie grain, especially if it should be a little damp. Another reason why sacking would be an advantage is that loose grain In a long ocean voyage might shift and endanger tin* vessel, Should this bo established it will he of distinct advantage to the western grain growing provinces, RETURNS M ENGLAND HON.

Hence the appeal will go Iirst to Ottawa. Annual Exhibition. VICTORIA, July BO—From the 20th to the 26th of September will be held Victoria's annual exhibition.

ANSTIE SAYS CONDITIONS IN INDUSTRY MORE SATISFACTORY—WARNS CONSUMER TO BUY BEFORE CAR SHORTAGE DUE TO GRAIN CROP A general meeting of the Mountain Lumber man's Manufacturers' association was held In the court house yesterday. Owing to tlie fact that ihis Is one of the busiest seasons of the year only about one-third of the members of the organization were present. Prominent among those 'in attendance were Otto Lachiiiund, Otis Staples, P, Lund, IS. S. Sanders, F. B, Snle, F. W. Hess, A. F. Krappel, G. G. Jewell, W. E. Cooke, M. B. King, C. O. Rodgers and \V. N. Poole. Interviewed after tlie meeting, W. A. Anstie, secretary of the association stated that lie bad been gratified to learn lhat the volume of business whicli the mountain mills had been doing for the past six months warranted :i considerable advance over the prices which have prevailed during the past year. Mr. Anstie continued; "And it is encouraging to learn that the manufacturers an* now charging within $2 a thousand feel of the prices which were obtained prior to tlie big slump in 11)08. The prices have been since then far too low and a return to more satisfactory conditions seems certain." "I have been Informed unofficially by prominent traffic officials of tho C.P.R. that If the present excellent crop prospects arc realized In any measure equal to the indications the railways will be unable lo provide the lumber industry with an adequate car service once the harvest on tlie prairies is completed and the movement of the grain commences, ii having been the custom of past years to give the grain crop precedence over other commodities. Tiie lumber manufacturers, In view of the period of depression from which they are just emerging, are much alarmed at this prediction of traffic officials and a strongly worded resolution to the railway companies was proposed and adopted at the meeting today. "1 would pnini out thai the consuming public of Ihe prairies, as well as tin1 lumber men, will suffer a great hardship unless adequate provision is made for the transportation of lumber. It is, therefore, clear thai it will be to the Interests of the retailer ■ throughout the prairie provinces to anticipate the demand for lumber as much as possible and to take advantage of the next six weeks to lay in a supply for tho fall trade. "A tint her matter considered by the association was the case to be presented by the lumbermen to tiie timber commission, and in this respect it was seen that Iheir views bad in no way changed since their last delegation waited upon the provincial government. The claims of the lumbermen have been so frequently reported in (lie press of this province that the public are well acquainted with the stand that is being taken on such important questions as those of tenure, rentals, royalties and regulations pertaining to timber. "Some matters of routine were also deali with and provision made for the appointmenl of a permanent grading inspection staff, the function of whicli will be to see lhat the standard grading rules of the association are carried out. Tiie object of these rules is to make uniform the product of the different members of tiie organization."

Preparations have heen started for the garnering of somewhere in tlte neighborhood of 100,000,000 bushels of wheat not, to mention other grains. "The bread basket of the empire" is tlie name aptly applied to western Canada and while the reaping of the crop is now a momentous proposition In the west, tlie matter of conveying the contents of this basket to market is of equally great significance All of the railways are concentrating their attention just now to the ha-ndling of grain shipments offered along their lines and It can he safely said that in point of adequate facilities the grain this year will he handled wit'h greater dispatch and in a more safe manner "than ever before. From statements secured from each of the three great railways in Ihe west, as to the preparation they have made In this regard it is understood that approximately 35,000 box cars will be available for the movement, of the crop, with approximately 750 locomotives. ->AOI TWO (Pte fatty Stew*.

After the opposition of the government, the feature of the debate was the support of the bill by the Bishops of Exeter and of Hath and Wells. With clear voice Lord Roberts made his lucid, soldierly explanations to the housi empire United "Ther er we ent system." lie said, a force to deal Willi Itary problems tliat Our ular ar than u I, but lie pointed out nnorically adequate. ravest' doubts wlietii- s moment send over- are than 100,000 men -.* in this country recruits, lads under 10 of ' 111! might not giv ulcl us n pi r!t ct ai least, lu the course of u few years, provide us with 1,000,000 men adequately (mined, well disciplined and able to use their titles with effect. Lord Roberts appealed to tlie peers lo study tlie question themselves, and nol to pass hy his words as "early Victorian." More than once the veteran Held marshal brought his list down with emphasis on the table, and he was repeatedly encouruged with warm cheers. The duke of Norfolk, head of one of tlie most famous Knglisii families, rose to second Ihe proposal. "May the day never come." lie exclaimed, "when the piteous cry, 'Too late; too late,' is heard throughout England," There was much applause at tlie duke's speech. Then from his side Northumberland, he greal ami famous I'm the hill. He spoke nf (he ds a large number of classes togeth' the nation. There were, he snjd, forces ut work which threatened to sap the spirit of patriotism and manliness which had made the nation groat. Tlie earl of Erroll supported the measure, saying that without some system of compulsion it would he impossible io get the numbers requisite for tiie defence of the country. "Under the voluntary system Ihe war office has to make bricks without straw —an army without men." Lord Ampthlll supported the bill. "This is no new principle." he said. "It is a principle accepted by almost every other civilized nation of Europe. the principle that ir is tlie duty of every able bodied citizen to take up arms in defence of his country when called upon." Lord Meath was emphatic. "I know Germany," lie said, "and tlie strength of thai country is made in the nursery, the school and the army." Lord Saye and Sele took a different view. He described Lord Roberts' project as "a selfish local conception," and said that the worldngmeu of this country would rather give up India Hum consent to compulsory service. What Bill Proposed Except all officers and men now serving in the navy or regular army, or in tlie reserves, ihe hill imposes on all British subjects resident in the United Kingdom, between tlie ages ot is and SO, the obligation of serving in the territorial" force, and that they lie liable to be called out for home defence in case of imminent national danger, but under no liability to serve abroad. Training is to be limited lo lour years of ibe service, varying from four io six months in ihe first year. but only 15 days, besides musketry and certain drills, in subsequent years, "The bill," said the memorandum, "secures absolute equality of treatment ;is between al! classes. Inasmuch as under no circumstances will any person lie aide to liny his discharge or to procure any kind of exemption by means of u money payment." Tho hill provides for the exemption from train- Ing of tii men who have served at least three years iu the army or navy, ministers of religion, and (in certain eases) only sons of widows; and (2) persons physically incapacitated and certain persons employed in public service*, and also for the disqualification of criminals and persons of bad character. All persons in class 2 and also persons disqualified, will, if their incomes exceed £52 per annum, be required, In each of the four years during which they should have been trained, to pay a special military tax amounting to 1 per cenl of their incomes. y, to ■ duke ni another condemn an i ng in th "bn ck :■ of throwing ig n,i n of all upn ssionable Kim, barrack Have any of to look after square and canteen." your lordships had sons at IS or 10?" he asked. Estimate of the Cost Lord Mldleton (the former war secretary) declared that unless we could change the whole sentiment of the country, we should' be forced to pay good wages to those whom we compelled to serve agalnsl their will. Their lordships would be taking a greal responsibility if, against the military opinion of the trusted advisers of the government, they proceeded by their vote for this bill to charge upon the house of commons the duty of finding an extra £5,000,000 for a system with regard to which there were so many doubts. Lord Lucas, the undersecretary for war, then rose to give tlie opinion of the government. The cost would be more than tlie 84,000,000 or £6,000-- 000 estimated by the National Service league. The method of training suggested would disorganize the labor market and create problems of unemployment whicli it would take all the Ingenuity of the Tariff Reform league to solve. "Hopelessly costly and hopelessly unworkable.' was how the undersecretary summeil up the scheme. "You are discussing the question of home defence In Its narrowest sense*. against imperial defence In its widest sense." Tlie military forces of the empire amounted to 1,200,000 men, and. excluding India, the troops liable to serve.ottslde their own particular countries were 410,000. The "striking force" which we could send abroad would shortly be ltiO.OOO men. The blBhop of Exeter supported the bill on the ground of the moral and physical benefit which would result to pected and only a guess may be given as to how much these unknown fields will contribute to the world's supply of precious metals.

Nelson Entertains This Year SEPTEMBER 22 to 24 At the Seventh Annual CANADA'S RESOURCES What an American Has to Say, Particularly of the West Introducing a special article on Co- ball, Mr. -Mare M. Reynolds, eulogizes the resources of Camidn in the Xew York Commercial as follows: . Though comparatively unappreciated, the resources of Canada afford greater opportunities for the Investor than any confined within the limits of the new world. The dominion of Canada today abounds with the wealth of both hidden and developed richness which wittiin the next decade or more will be turned into tbe coin of the realm and fortunes will be amassed which will repea't in a measure the history of those acquired in the United States. The Industrial situation in Canada offers attractions to tiie business man and investor alike. Tbe rapid growth of Canada In its hamlets, towns and cities, 'the splending banking system enjoyed by the dominion of Canada, the Increasing railway mileage, equipment and general shipping facilities o-nd the life stimula'ted by commercial prosperity, all contribute towards making a field for industrial and commercial operations which only require the com- ntement of money to culminate in a period or advanced prosperity which will excel anything during any given period in the history of Canada. In the great Canadian northwest the rich agricultural fields have attracted hundreds of thousands lo home and farms and the Canadian Pacific railway officials co-operating with the government are exploiting the extraordinary possibilities offered to the farmer, home builder amd investor. • Thn banks of Canada offer commendable assistance to the infant industries and mercantile establishments. Operated as they are through a system of branches, each having a head bank in one of the leading titles, the various banking Institutions form a. net work of financial strength and growth which reaches Into every point in the dominion or sufficient Importance to encoitr- nge tlie establishment of a branch of one or more of the great banking heads.

THOMSON SfiAf Phont ti. Bookseller and Stationer ffilw *§aUtj Ileum, Published at Nelson Every Morning Except Monday, by News Publishing Company, Limited W. G. McMORRIS Manager PRINCE RUPERT Among the many intricate problems with which the present provincial government has been called to deal, none presented greater difficulties than the Prince Rupert townslte. In the first place the government had to establish Its title to tlie land comprising the townslto, the Dominion authorities having conveyed tlie property to the Grand Trunk Pacific company in total disregard of British1 Columbia's right to It as an abandoned Indian reserve. Having convinced the Grand Trunk Pacific company of the province's revet sionary rights to the land in question, tlie government next had lo arrange with the company for [be laying out of tlie new city and tiie placing of tlie lots on the market. As a result of the government's efforts the province is receiving one-quarter of the proceeds of the sale of lots and is bearing pro rata with the company tlie cost incidental to tlie opening up of tho townslte. In tlie following out of the latter policy at the last session of the legislature, §200,000 was set apart for making roadways, bujldftig sidewalks, installing sewers, etc., in the proposed new town. Tills money, it was stipulated, was lo be repaid to tlie provincial treasury out of the sale of lots, the company to contribute $160,000 from the money 11 was to receive from this source, while the remaining $50,000 would be a charge against the government's share of the cash received. Over $2,000,000 lias already been realised from tlie sale Of lots, of which the company's share is §1,500,- 000 and the government's $500,001), so that the amount the government has advanced for Improvements is already provided for, and a large surplus in addition, both for tne province and the company. The money realised by the province from tills source, tt should be remembered, has been secured solely and entirely through the efforts of the McBride government. Had that government not contested the title to the Prince Rupert townsite granted to the Grand Trunk Pacific by the powers that be at Ottawa, not one cent of this money would have been received by British Columbia. This is one case in which even its most rabid opponent cannot deny tliat the McBrlde government's policy has worked out to tlie advantage of tho province. There is no question but what the public Improvements installed as a result of the legislature's grant for this purpose had much to do with tlie good prices realised for the Prince Rupert lota which have been already sold. One of the gratifying features of the sale is the fact rapid development is following it. One result of this is that additional roads, aide- walks and sewers are required, while an assured water supply has become absolutely essential. In tbis case again the government has shown that it appreciates the situation by agreeing to advance the money required for streets, sidewalks and sewers on tlie same terms as tlie legislature's grant of $200,000 for this purpose and will also undertake the installation of a waterworks system tbat will meet present needs, the place already having outgrown tlie supply provided by Ihe Grand Trunk Pacific, In the case of the waterworks system the cost of its installation, instead of being repaid out of the sale of lots, as in tlie case of other public improvements, will lie a first charge upon the city when incorporated, as it will be one of these days? Tlie new corporation will assume the ownership of the undertaking and will alao become responsible for tlie cost. The spending of this additional money on streets, sewers, etc., and tlie installation of a waterworks system is in keeping with the government's policy of assisting In the development of the Prince Rupert townslte, in which the people of the province are directly interested, and will, it is safe to say, bring the same excellent results In connection with future sales of lots, as did the expenditure of .the money voted by the legislature last session In connection with those which have already taken place and the development which lias followed them. EDITORIAL NOTES The improvement felt in the lumber industry will bave its effect on business generally throughout Kootenay. May there be still further improvement, Says the Toronto Globe "Dr. Young, the British Columbia minister of education, in addressing an educational convention at Victoria the other day, announced that tlie government had determined to establish a teachers' superannuation fund. If Ontario is not nimble she will find herself in the rear in this movement." The visit of Mr. P, W. Peters, assistant to the second vice president of the Canadian Pacific railway, to this city next week Is one which is likely to* prove of great importance, not only to Nelson but to the district generally. It Is to be hoped that Mr. Peters, returning so soon after his late visit, will be in a position to satisfactorily adjust several matters that have been been brought to his attention. While possibly the Canadian Pacific Railway company may not fee! that they should grant all that lias been asked of them, the careful and difficult negotiations tliat have been carried on by the rep- resen tat Ives of the board of trade will, It is -hoped, result in tlie recognition by the company of many of Nelson's claims.

ORGANIZEJOY SCOUTS VANCOUVER YOUTHS TAKE UP BADEN-POWELL'S IDEA FIRST CANADIAN, IF NOT FIRST COLONIAL BRANCH VANCOUVER, July 30—A commission has been received, in the city authorizing the formation of the first Vancouver troop of the Baden-Powell Boy Scouts. The permission confers a unique distinction on this city inasmuch as it marks the Iirst effort to organise a branch of this body in Canada and is tlumglit to he tlie iirst troop authorized in a British colony. The Baden-Powell Boy Scouts is an organization which is being fostered under the direct leadership of the noted English soldier, Major-General Baden-Powell, who is the active head of the movement. It contemplates the union of boys In companies and their training for active warfare in the line of scouting, the work taken up Including practice in camp life, signaling, etc. In Great Britain the movement has attained large proportions, 25,000 members of various brandies having paraded through Loudon on May 24, The organization maintains a permanent camp at Folkestone, and the British military authorities highly commend the work done in training lads for tho peculiar work outlined by Gen. Baden-Powell as well as its general effect in creating independence and initiative in the minds of members of the corps. The local organization will be formed under the direction of Joseph llynes, who is connected with the cily health department. Mr. Hynes Is acquainted with den. Baden-Powell and last year wrote him on the subject of boys' brigades and kindred movements, the correspondence leading up to the commission recently received. Headquarters for the Vancouver troop have been secured at tlie old Methodist church on Park drive and a public meeting will be held there shortly to explain tlie methods and aims of the organization. Mr. Hynes has already received hearty support from public-minded citizens, and 1ms been given a set of colors Tor the troop as well as cheques for about 15150 toward the purchase of uniforms. The colors will be presented to tlie troop at the public meeting. For the present Mr. Hynes will attend at the Park drive headquarters on Friday evening at 7:'!0, when boys may enrol for service.

While wome of the fruits will not be as plentiful this year as in ordinary years on account of the lateness of the season and while the ranchers are wisely refraining from allowing their trees to bear while too young, thus keeping down tlie yield for large fruits for the time being, the advanced prices being realized this season as compared with last, chielly on account of the more able management in ibe disposing of the fruit, and the much better shipping facilities given by the C.P.R. and the Dominion Express company, have given added faith In the possibilities of fruit growing throughout Kootenay." Those were the words of Fred Adle, assistant provincial fruit Inspector, when asked for his opinion as to the future of the fruit growing industry throughout Kootenay last evening by a representative of The Daily News. Mr. Adie has just completed a tour of inspection of the ranches In his jurisdiction In an official capacity and is eulogistic in his praise of the cleanliness of the trees nnd plants on the various ranches, and says that while he has been in a considerable number of fruit growing countries he never yet saw a district that, generally speaking, came anywhere near comparing in this regard with'Kootenay. Speaking of this season's crops generally he said that the strawberries bad been exceptionally good In quality, but that the quantity bad been slightly less than usual. The prices realized had, however, greatly exceeded those of any previous year. There was every indication uf a remarkably good pear crop, bui In quantity apples would be slightly below tbe average, while the quality would be even better than usual. There would be a fair crop of peaches and plums. "The ' amount of clearing done throughout tlu* district since my last lour oi ti lew months ago is really remarkable," said Mr. Adie. -and while the number of trees planted this year has greatly exceeded that of any previous year I predict that next year fully double the quantity will be sei out. "There is no possible danger of I overproduction," he said, "as only a I very small portion of the demand 1 from Lite prairie provinces for fruit is at present being met irom Kootenay and the Increase in the demand then1. consequeni of the enormous influx of new settlers, will easily meet the much heavier shipments lhat will be made from this district as tlie industry develops, through the cultivation ot additional laud uiTT tiie coining Into bearing of thousands upon thousands of fruit tret's already planted." He remarked upon the large influx of new settlers To different sections ot ihe Kootenays, and .said thai ihis was most noticed in the Creston, Arrow lake, Kootenay lake and Slocan valley sections, while the country to the soutii of Nelson was not faring at all badly in this regard, in fact, the whole of the districts visited by liiui showed signs of development lhat a few years, ago was unthought of.

KELLEY, In Charge ALONG KOOTENAY LAKE TWO NELSON MEN TELL OF TEN DAYS' TRIP SEE WONDERS THAT SURPASS THOSE OF SWITZERLAND T. ,l. Williams of Meagher & Co.'s stote and Fred llohinson, late of Rex Macdonald's law office, liave returned to Xelson after a most enjoyable ten days' holiday spent camping out along Kootenay lake and seeing some of the natural beauty with whicli tlie districts visited abound. Mr. Williams says that he has seen the mountain scenery of six countries, including Switzerland, Prance and Italy, and nowhere any- tiling to equal what he found about tlie northern and eastern shores of Kootenay lake.

Williams and llohinson left Nelson a week ago last .Monday on the Kokanee. going direct to Lardo. from where they rowed across to Argenta and there camped for the night. From there they walked back to Golden and were rewarded for their trip by a sight of some of the most magnificent mountain scenery to be found anywhere In the world. From Argenta they rowed io Fish creek, stopping at Salisbury creek for lunch. At Fisli creek they found one of tlie finest beaches that cither had ever seen. Going up the trail for some dls* lance they had a view of the beautiful canyon there to be found. Of all the places seen during the trip tlie view here was tlie best. From Fish creek they moved on to Mclntyre cape, where they spent, a night and where they enjoyed the exceptional facilities for bathing which tlie place affords. From Mclntyre cape they proceeded to Clilte creek, passing some wonderful cliff scenery en route. At Clttte creek they found a waterfall of extraordinary heauly. From there they crossed tlie lake to Kaslo, and after calling there went into camp at Beauty bay. whicli is two miles below and from where they visited Mirror lako, the beautifies of which they found fully up to their expectations. After spending two nights at Beauty bay they crossed the lake again to Deer creek, where they enjoyed some excellent fishing. On the way home lo Nelson they visited Kootenay, Pilot and Crawford bays, remaining at the latter two nights on account of the heavy swell on the lake. Leaving there, however, -Thursday morning, they arrived in Nelson that evening after having bad what both of them A. L. McOULLOOH HYDRAULIC ENGINEER PROVINCIAL LAND SURVKVOR P. O. Uox 41.

Griffiths, manager of Hie West- niouiii mine, informed a representative of The Dally News yesterday that a big strike had recently been made on that property, A force of 1(1 men were, stated Mr. Griffiths, at present at work on the new strike which was of from two to three feet wide of high grade ore, carrying good values In grey copper, native silver and awimonic cop. per. So fnr only about 16 feet of the vein had been developed and from that 7» sacks of ore had been taken out. Tills was, Mr, Griffiths pointed out, purely from development work, no actual mining having yet been done, From this vein two crosscuts had beep run and each of these had resulted in an eight inch streak of similarly valuable ore being struck. The depth of these workings from the surface was about 400 feet, 200 feet below No. 2 tunnel. It is Mr. Griffith's intention to start n tunnel 300 feet further flown the mountain during Ihe coming winter and from there to drive in 1000 feet in order to strike tbe vein which Is at present being opened up. For this purpose an air compressor will be installed. None of fhe ore from the new strike has yet been shipped but It will be sent to the smelter directly the government has finished repairing the bridges on tlie wagon road from Hip mine. i.Ir. Griffiths Is leaving within the next few days for Minnesota where he will undergo an operation for some internal troubles. He will be absent for some weeks.
