There four papers in the Slocan and Slocan City subdivisions, but the government evidently does not want its advertising done where the parlies interested will get a glimpse of it. A $75,000 DEAL. Put Thru in Sandon Yesterday. Geo. W. Hug.ies Sells His Quarter in the Alamo Properties. The largest deal that has been put thru in the Slocan for a long time was completed In Sandon yesterday, when $75,000 cash was paid over to Geo. W. Hughes for his quarter interest in the Idaho and Alamo groups of claims. The Scottish ^ olonial Syndicate, which already owns the remaining three quarters were the purchasers. The Idaho and Alamo properties are too well known to require more than mere mention. In the early history of the country they were operated by J. D. Farrell' and partners, known as the Duluth syndicate. At lhat time Geo. W. Hughes owned an interest, and when the Scottish Colonial took the properly over in 1897 he retained a quarter interest and acted as manager. The price paid at that time for the three quarters acquired by the Scottish Colonial was $425,000. Altogether the properties have paid dividends to date in the neighborhood of $300,000. Sandon Rink Company Ltd. The Directors of the Sandon Rink Co. Ltd. held a meeting this week when the affairs of the Co.npany were fully- discussed.

The ore shipments from Sandon this week were: Reco 42 tons, American Boy 21 tons, Payne 20 tons. The Wakefield, on Four Mile has laid off all the crew except three men who are working on contract. The Arlington, at Slocan City, is shipping lo Trial. Formerly the product was handled by the Nelson smelter. Surveyor Simons, formerly of the Payne, is surveying the Slocan Slar again for lhe beailil ofthe Rabbit Paw case. There is unconfirmed rumor afloat in Nelson that the Canadian Smelter Co. is to build a big lead refinery there. There is more labor trouble in sight at Morrisey and the coal mines there have suspendid operations until a settlement is made. Thomas Jones took a look around the Whitewater properties on Monday and Tuesday to size up the possibilities of a zinc output. W. A. Galliher M. P. has gone to Golden to attend the court there and will be gone about two weeks. He hopes on his return that the lead mine owners will be ready lo meet him. There are six men working on the raise in the Hope and ihree men on contract in the No. 4 tunnel at the Ruth b.Vmg the only m.*n employed at the Ruth mine. No mining will be done until next spring.

V ���n mmmmn ��,,., I the papstreak, Sandon, B. C, October 25 JIM YOUNGER. A Character Sketch With Sermon Attachments. Poor old Jim Younger has cashed in���died by his own hand. Jim's life was a sad one, and his death was even more sad. Humanity the world over is the creature of its environment ; Jim was the victim of his. Five years of aw/ul war in the companionship ofthe Quantrells unfitted him for the phleg- metic occupations of everyday life and he and his companions in arms started a little war of their own against the world. He was brave to a fault, dashing, careless of human life, and up against the other fellow all lhe time. In days of war his actions would have been heroic, his reward a nation's gratitude. In times of peace his actions spelled murder and the forces of law and order placed behind the bars. Twenty-five years he served in expiation of his crimes���a quarter of a century removed from the world in the awful dungeons of Stillwater. When at last the legislature turned him loose he was less fitted to meet the world than in the wild, strenuous days that had their climax at Northfield. Altho liberated, the law allowed him no liberties. He was in love but he could not marry. By his life sentence he was legally dead since lhe 21 si day of November, 1876, and by his lasl gun play he merely placed himself consistent with lhe law. A necktie social at Northfield would have been more humane. Such is the story of his life, and there is plenty of scope to moralize. No doubt Jim was a bad one. He killed and pillaged and burned. His hand was against every man's and society in defense of its ordinances had to put him away. He lacked the finesse to rob a bank in a legal manner, or the ability to steal a railroad on the stock exchange. His system of acquiring property listed him with the cohorts of the damned, and he paid the penalty. He was a robber and he was wrong. But now when the cards are all down and the deal is closed, who will say that the misdirection of his energy which made Jim a criminal was a fault all of his own. Jim Younger did not invoke the secessionist movement. He did not choose his birthplace in the home of the guerillas. But in the great cata- calysm of bloodshed called the civil war he followed his lights, plunged into the strife with the friends of his youth and fought with the slave states of the south. When the war was over there was no blaze of glory for him, no martial music and waving bunting, no tri- umpial chorus to welcome him home. His side had lost and he had no home. By a fatal miscalculation in his perspective he did not recognize the declaration of peace as applying to himself ���just kept on a-going, as it were���and the ordinances of society made him an outlaw. The train of circumstances which had their climax at Northfield were natural sequences. Maybe in his youth he was bright, THE FILBERT HOTEL Neat, Clean and Comfortable Rooms.

Outside of his besetting sin he may have been honest as the sun and as true as steel. Frequently the train robber is the kind of man who would not steal a sleeper on a faro layout. Most men have their good points to offset their bad ones. No man is either all bad or all good. Asjoquin Miller say>: "There is so much that is had in that which is called good, and so much that is good in that which is called bad, lhat I refuse to draw a line where God has not." The eminently respectable citizen is frequently the product of a series of happy accidents, or cowardice. Men are good or bad just according to how the play comes up. There is no such thing as an inherent aptitude for crime. To say that all men are born in sin is blasphemy. Each and all are creatures of their circumstances. While the world is rushing along with a complicated system of criminology, casting thousands into jail to j make the.n good, inflicting untold miseries in the name of the law, it would be well to occasionally recognize this. When a crime is committed society at large is largely responsible, and socie'.y should shoulder the blame. Twenty per cent of the nation's wealth spent iu maintaining a prison system has not prevented crime. Only a belter ordered social system in which the incentive to go wrong is diminished will lessen it. Thousands today are on the borderland between right and wrong. Favorable circumstances will save some; unfavorable circumstances will wreck others. At one time some thirty years ago Jim Younger no doubt was one of these. He was out of luck when he took the wrong trail, and his epitaph should contain more of sorrow than anger.

SANDON, OCTOBER 25, 1Q02. now is the TLime. All the circumstances are favorable at the present moment for the mine owners of the Slocan to make an effective move to have the tariff taken off mining supplies. Without a doubt powder, rails and candles can be placed on the free list at the next sessinn of the ^Dominion house if the proper action is taken right now by the parties most interested. The situation is like this: The Liberals in the past have done their best to avoid tinkering with the tariff. They recognized it as dangerous and left it alone. Laurier is on record in a dozen plaees as saying that the tariff -was out of politics, and many of the other cabinet ministers have made the same talk. Within the last sixty days the whole situation has changed. By his "Canada for Canadians" talk Tarte has disrupted the government,put himself out of the cabinet and thrown the tariff back into active politics. A general election must surely follow Tarte's secession movement, but it is not likely to occur before another session, when the western constituencies will be redistributed. The Liberals are pledged to reducing the tariff, and with a general election in sight they will have to do something to square themselves with the west, the support of which .^they now need and the sentiment of wliich is almost unanimously in favor ot a lower tariff or absolute free trade. There is more of prejudice than principle in this Tarte-Sifton fight. Therefore in remodelling the tariff the government will be guided by necessity, recognizing that some reductions must be made in order to furnish a subject for campaign oratory, but moving always along the lines ofthe least resistance. ^Powder, rails and candles are not backed by any powerful influence. The Manufacturers' association is not behind them to any great extent. Consequently they could" be placed on the free list without antagonizing any influential industrial interests. At the same time, by placing these articles on the free list the administration would furnish itself with a very plausible story of "things done" for the mining industry. These things being so, it is time for the interested parties to take some definite action. It is never good politics for any government to make a move that is not asked for, and no astute politician will do it. Therefore representations should be made in the proper form thru the district's representative, who will undoubtedly be found anxious to carry the case into the tariff committee. W. A. Galliher, M. P., has already published a statement to the effect that he would like to meet the lead mine owners and hear their views on tariff revision. It should be a very simple thing to arrange this meeting to take place in Sandon some time in the near future, frame a set of resolutions, present them to the member and give him a good fair start with something definite and tangible to work on. At the same meeting it should be pointed out that the lead mining interests are unalterably opposed to a tariff on lead because such a tariff would unquestionably place a smelting monopoly in the hands of the Canadian Pacific. the past could not afford to ship be- cause of the zinc penalties will in future be bonanzas. Prospects in Slocan Lardeau, Ainsworth and Duncan which can to-day be had for a song will be fetching fancy figures a year from now. Shrewd investors will take a note of this and profit by it. Following the shipment of zinc to United States will come the establishment of smelters to treat the ore on the Canadian side, in the Alberta gas belt. Altogether the outlook for the Slocan is brilliant, better in fact than it has been for five years. It will take some little time no doubt to get the new industry on a proper basis, and difficulties of more or less importance are sure to be met, as is alaways the case, but the outcome cannot fail, Slocan has the zinc and the world wants it. IChe TReturn of prosperitp. Sixty days ago the prospects for the winter's business in the Slocan were decidedly blue. Silver is in the sump and lead in London is down to a whisper (less $1 ahundred. The outlook for better prices in these metals is certainly not encouraging, and if the Slocan had to depend entirely on these metals alone there would be very little hope for activity in this district for some time to come. But the chances of a zinc market have put an entirely new face on the situation, and the outlook has not been* as bright for a long time as it is today. Negotiations are now so well advanced that it is safe to count on zinc production commencing within the next 30 days. Once commenced, there will be no let up, and the zinc tonnage will certainly be two to one what lead has been for the past few months. People who are not familiar with the situation will hardly be able to grasp the importance of this new market. The zinc resources of the Slocan are simply enormous, and worked in conjunction with lead, will make it possible to handle both on a much more economical basis. There are few mines in this camp which do not carry more or less zinc, and all the big properties are increasing in "zinc per centages with depth. In the past thousands upon thousands of tons of this valuable metal, have been thrown over the dumps or washed out with the tailings, but in days to come these dumps will all be gone over and the values recovered. Properties which in And now the Doukhobors want to move to British Columbia where they would have scope to follow the dictates of their religion uninterrupted by government officials. Well, most any old kind of religion goes in this province, and the B. C. government has too much unfinished business trying to keep itself in office to interfere with anyone, but when it comes to taking the Doukhobors along with the religion ���hully gee! In the absence of a definite announcement, Jim Dunsmuir still keeps the public guessing about that resignation. But it is worth noting that the Honorable Joseph Martin is confined to the hospital just now, and therefore not in a position to attend to his political affairs in the way that usuallv distinguishes his actions. J o One of the most ardorous labors of Teddy Roosevelt's coal strike commission will be to place a value on Mr. Baer's devine right, which was completely destroyed by those worldly strikers. "Canada for Canadians" is all right in a way, but J. Israel Tarte is one Canadian who will not be allowed to capture any large section of Canada that the Sifton-Laurier syndicate can keep out of his clutches. Manitoba is so prosperous that the farmers down there are figuring on buying thair gold bricks in car lots so as to get the trade discount. Germany has her government chemists at work trying to discover a substitute for zinc. The Kaiser surely never heard of the 400-foot level in the Slocan Star. A$75,ooo deal is not so slow for a camp that is supposed to be quiet. the Papstreak, Sandon, B. C, October 25 %ty fallacp of protection. The policy of protection i > based on the theory that a nation can be taxed into a state of permanent prosperity. It is supposed to build up home indus- trier, fnrnish employment for labor at at home, and protect the industry and the laborer from foreign competition; in turn the industry established and the laborer employed are supposed to furnish a home market for other industries. The second industry will require the same protection as the first; and a third must have the same protection as the other two, until finally every industry is protected and the standard of values is raised by at least the per cent ot the tariff. So far, so good. But does the tariff which enumerates every article known to commerce, succeed in protecting all the articles specified. A very brief examination will prove that it does not. For instance, by comparing Montreal and London* prices we find that wheat, lumber, fish and ore are cheaper in Montreal than in London. A more careful examination will show that the difference represents just exactly the ocean freight. Examining the tariff we find that wheat, lumber and fish are duitable if brot into Canada ; yet the duty does not raise the price of the products of the farm, the forest and the fisheries by one cent. On the other hand, ore is on the free list; yet ore in Montreal bears exactly the same relation to the London market as do wheat, lumber and fish, namely London price less freight. It follows, therefore, as a logical conclusion that none of these products are affected by the tariff so far as selling price is concerned; that the producers thereof will get just the same price for their wheat,lumber fish or ore, whether there is a tariff or whether there is none. The surplus exported regulates the price of the whole product. Now take the other side of the case and consider the instance of the farmer, just to see how the tariff affects the cost of production. Suppose, for the Sc.ke of argument, that he requires a binder to take off his crop. He buys a Dee ring, made by the John Abel works in Hamilton, Ontario. There is no questien about how the tariff affects this class of goods. Only three months ago the protectionist press announced that the Deering Harvester Co. was compelled by the tariff to come into Canada to manufacture their machines. The Deering Co has enormous works in Chicago but the Can- odian tariff hits them too hard, so they come to Hamilton and buy the Abel works. Good enuf! Here is one in fant industry cradled by protection. But following the matter a little further we find that this Deering company, with works in Hamilton, is represented at the Manufacturers' Association which met in Halifax and asked for a higher tariff in order to keep out foreign competition. Whoa ! Hold on ! Something wrong here ! The Deering company of Chicago is asking the Dominion government to raise the Canadian tariff so that their Chicago works will not cut in on their Hamilton works. Obviously, somebody is getting the worst of it. Certainly it is not the Deering company, for they are protected both in Canada and the United States. Then it stands to reason that it must be the farmer who buys the machine and pays the freight. If this is true of the farmer it must also be true in the case of the lumberman, the fisherman and the miner. Evidently these four great natural industries must take a world's price for what they sell and pay a protective price for what they buy. As these protective prices increase the cost of production t'ley reduce the profit. Consequently fewer people engage in these industries, and the effect of the tariff is to throw more farmhands, lumbermen, fishermen and miners out of a job than there are factory hands all told. r THE DENVER HOTEL V.

EDITORIAL OVERFLOW One great object lesson taught by the famous Cody Fraction case is that no paospector should venture into the hills without a lawyer to protect him. Before they came into power the Liberals promised free trade as they have it in England, and prohibition as they have it in Maine. After reaching office they gave us free trade as they have it in Maine, and prohibition as thev have it in England. Laurier is home and Tarte ie out of a job. Act one of the big ministerial bust up is off. Now watch those elect- Ions in Quebec. IfTartedont make things interesting for the government down there it will be because his inan- mate corpse is safely tucked away in cold storage. There is all kinds of trouble in sight for the Laurier government. About the time they get done dealing with Tarte down east they win have to answer to the west. In revoking the Chinese exclusion law Laurier may have 1 satisfied the desire of a few pet corporations, but he also laid up a terrible heap of trouble for his government in days to come. The whole staff of August Heinze's Butte Reville is in the coup for contempt of court because they printed smutty pictures about W. A. Clark's Standard Oil judges.

Dig, dig, dig! is the song of the candidate, As he peels off his roll With a pain in his soul And grabs at the magical slate ! He yearns for his share of the pap, Be he sinner, backslider or saint��� He's willing to bridge any factional gap And there's mighty few fellows that ain't. II. Dough, dough, dough! it never reaches re, mi, fa��� For the dominant note Is the sound of the vote And what Willie is doing for pa! It costs like the deuce lo be great And in majesty rule o'er the land��� And the chap that would sit in the temple of state Must produce a fat wad in each hand. III. Fame, fame, fame ! is the siren that wooes them all, ���And they haul out the cash In a fractionol flash And they Irim up their quantum of gall The salary's five thousand per, And the work is not easy at that. But things don't appear to be what they once were And the costly job proves to be fat. IV. Woe, woe, woe! to the man that is labeled Mud, For he's wasted his cash In a bluff and a dash, And has slumped with a sickening thud But next time you'll see the same name All unscarred by the shaft of defeat, 'Blazoned bold on the roll of the yearn- ers for fame��� For the chase of the siren is sweet!

I ; : . j I ' the papstreak, Sandon, B. C., October 25 I 1 Zinc Prices Soar in Joplin. (Lead & Zinc News.) The reduction in prices which has been alarming the producers of the Joplin district for rhe last few weeks proves to have been but a temporary reaction, and zinc ore is once more advancing in price and the local market is full of strength. The highest price paid last week was $39 per ton for the output of the Doogin diggings, and other high-grade lots sold for $38. The assay basis was advanced al least $1 per ton thruout the district, and is now anywhere from $34 to $36 for 60 per cent ore. In the scramble for ore which materialized last week the assay- basis was generally disregarded, and as high as $37 per ton was paid for 60 per cent ore on a strait bid. Many of the large smelling companies have been buying very little ore for the p ist few weeks, in an effort to break down prices. Their efforts have been fruitless, and they are now out of ore in the face of a rising market OOMFOTTNTD TABLETS. You will Find Them Superior to Pills.

Zargc SBottle 50c Advertising" the Mining: Gamp Very few mining districts are independent of outside assistance. It lakes money and brains to develop mines and without the combination minig operations are unprofitable, save in excetional cases. The greatest sucessess in the development of new districts have been the result of the ability of those most deeply interested therein to secure publicity thro the press, Those mining camps which have made the most rapid growth and the biggest records are those which have made the greatest noise and which have succeeded in attracting the most capital to their undeveloped resources. Men who stand in the way of advertising the natural resources of their district are stumbling blocks and a detriment to the community in which they reside. It is hardly possible to realize that there are people who seem to pride themselves in their unwillingness to assist in such methods. The country newspaper, for example, realizes how much benefit results to his immediate locality by the publication ofthe progress of its development. He knows lhat the publication of news from his camp will act like the continual dropping of water. Perhaps to-day it may not attract more than casual attention but he also knows thai some day that same reader is likely to become imbued with the idea that there are investments worthy of his attention and which he should look into. Then comes the indirect but certain profit to the district as a whole. Every dollar in any locality is productive of others.
