Now STAMP MILLS GOING IN A Good Eeport From the Workings on Grauits aud Koyal Canadian. Notes Fioiu Ymir- J. Keith Reiil has recently returned froni Rossland nfter about a week's absence from Nelson and reports that, outside of the lending mines, things are rather quiet in the inining world there. When asked by a Miner reporter us to the. showing on the Granite and Koyul Canadian, two groups on Eagle creek of which lie is in charge, Mr. Reid was able to give a most satisfactory report. On the Granite a double compartment shaft is being sunk, which has so far attained a depth of 90 feet. The ledge which is between four and live feet wide shows no sign of narrowing, andvery satisfactory returns have been obtained from it. The average returns from samples taken from time to time is ifilO per ton. The ore is a free milling quartz, and shows no sign of turning base, thus when tho mill is erected (here should be a most profitable run. The ledge runs parallel to that of the Poorman. On the Royal Canadian two tunnels are Vicing driven, one of which is aire; ly in 1300 feet. The ledges oil tbis group contain similar ore to that on the Granite. Both groups, containing in all eight claims and a fraction, were acquired sonic little time back by the Duncan syndicate. Mr. Roid further informed the reporter that it was intended next year, when moro development work had been done, to erect a 20-stamp mill. In tho meantinio a 10-stanip mill is about to uo erected, and tenders for its construction and also for the construction of a flume have beon called for. The company are singularly fortunate in the matter of water power, as they have tho control over 60 minor's inches of water under a 708 foot head. Thus thero will be no fear of an inadequate water supply, and it will be possible to run tho mill continuously tho year around. The vein is rather wet and loose, but all difficulty from water is obviated by tho steam pump which has boen installed, and Mr. Reid considers that theso characteristics augur well for the contiuuauco at great depth of tho freo milling nature of tbo oro. Mr. Reid goes out. lo Eagle creek today to survey the proposed mill site, and lay out the looation for a wagon road tbat is to be built. YMIR NOTES. Ymir, Aug. HI.���This district, it j seems intends to break the record for minor accidents. Arthur Styles, an employe al the Salmo sawmill, while at* work yesterday was struck on the hand by a bolt, causing a compound fraoture and considerable laceration. j The wound is both painful and severe. The post office was opened this [morning in MoLeod's new building on the corner of First avenue and Birch streets, which is a much more central position, and consequently more convenient for both ends of town. CANADIAN BELLE BONDED. A deal was pnt through in Nelsou yesterday whereby the Wilson Bros., of this city acquired two claims near Ymir. The properties are tlio Canadian Belle and the Empire, and belong to Albert Sauvie of Ymir. The claims are bonded for $4000. The bond which extends over 13 months call for an initial cash payment of $-100. A contract to drive a 50-foot tunnel is being let, and work will bo commenced at once. The claims are situated about l'o miles south of Wild Horse creek nnd almost join the town- site of Ymir. SOMETHING WRONG. Salmon Run in Myriads Aftor the Season Closes. Vancouver, Aug. 81.���Ou Thursday, August 25, the sockeye salmon fishing in British Columbia closed after going ou record as about tho worst season of any iu the knowledge of the fisherman, Tbat was yesterday, and there were no signs of tish. Now it is illegal to catch sockeyes and they are reported to be out in tho Gulf of Georgia in millions before going up the Eraser river. Fortunately for the fishermen the minister of marine and fisheries has advanced the cohoe salmon season 10 days and on September 15 fishermen will drop their nets again and then all will be fish that comes to their nets whether it be cohoe or sock- TIIEY WANT TO KN NT-5\V. Managua. Nicaragua, Aug. 81.���The diet* of tlie Greater Republic of Central America has asked the government of Nicaragua for all the documents in its archives relating to the construction of an inter-oceanic canal across Nicaragua for the purpose, as El Liberal, (government* daily newspaper) says, of "investigating the reasons why tho United States of North America appear to have decided to construct tho canal." THE KHALIFA IS LAYING MINES Cairo, Aug. 111.���Tho Khalifa, according to a despatch received today from Wady El-Oebeid, has laid torpedoes in tbe Nile, below Onidurnian nnd a large Dervish force is issuing from Kerreri, about eight miles north of Omdurman ,to meet the Anglo- Egyptian advance. NICHOLAS' NOTE IS WEAK Peace Proposals Not Acceptable Just Now. THE FRENCH ENRAGED It is Said That the Ozar Was Inspired to Action by the Queen of England, Who Wants Peace. London, Aug. ill.���Tbe newspapers continue to devote largo space to comments upon and criticisms of the czar's note. They generally agree the outcome will be a conference of premiers if not of sovereigns themselves, which will be followed by an expression of concurrence in the humanitarian aims of the czar and report resolutions to their respective governments, when the wholo thing will be shelved indefinitely. The latest comments from Paris show there is intense irritation there ou the subje 't. The czar's proposal is regarded an unfriendly and inconsistent with the Franco-Russian alliance. It is alleged in some quarters that the czar's ar.ouncement was directly inspired by Queen Victoria, whose greatest hope is that her long reign may not again be disturbed by war. Tbe Queen confessedly bas long sought to restrain Emperor William and it is not unlikely she used her great influence with the czarina to secure, the czar's support. CAUSES DISMAY IN FRANCE. The Paris correspondent of the Times still insists that M. Faure aud tbe French uii.mRters knew nothing beforehand and that the czar's proposal has plunged the entire official world into considerable embarrassment and almost into stupefaction. "Everybody, " says M. DeBlowitz, "is asking with dismay what it remains. It is a sad awakening for Franco and her papers aro making immense efforts to restrain their feelings in tlie faco of what it regards as Russian perfidy.'' ONE PROPOSED BY GERMANY. Tlie Daily Graphic says that Lord Salisbury, iu 1-SWH, communicated to Emperor William a memorandum showing tbe tremendous cost of armed Europe. Emperor William was so impressed that he privately inti* mated his intention to summon a disarmament congress. Tho semi-official German press ventilated the idea, with tho result that so much animosity was shown ou the part of France that the kaiser abandoned the project. OPINION IN ST. PETERSBURG. The St. Petersburg correspondent of the Daily Mail says : '' Tho proposal is a victory for M. Dewitt, the Russ- siau minister of finance, over Count* Muravieff, tho former having warned Emperor Nicholas that if Muravieff's provocative, policy toward England was continued Russia would soon bo bankrupt. M. Dewitt advised disarmament as a peace policy to enable him to carry out bis plans for a gold standard in Russia and a rehabilitation of Russian finances.'' The St. Petersburg correspondent of the Times says: "Count Muravieff, the Russian foreign minister, declares that the idea originated entirely with Emperor Nicholas. There is much scoptieism in diplomatic circles as to any practical results from a conference aud it is admitted on all sides that the circular came as tho greatest surprise. '' SPAIN IS PLEASED. Madrid, Aug. 111.���The Imparcial to day referring to the czar's peace note, expressed the belief that his majesty's pronouncement can hardly como from a mere dreamer. It, adds: "Wo urgo Spain to pay close attention to the matter, as assuredly Spain is not the power least intorosted in it. " Tbo Liberal is of the opinion that tho czar's object was to avert a threatening rupture of views which prevail, adding: "Tho work of tho Hispano- Americau commission in Paris is hardly worthy of comparison with the proposed conference, which ought to bo attended by the United States as well as Europe ; for should war break out. aud extend from tho Mediterranean to the China sea Spain must awake in order to preservo tho little she has managed to save from tho ruin. " GERMANY ACCEPTS. Berlin, Aug. 111.���The official Nord Dontsche Allgemoino Zeitung, believed to have been inspired by Priuco Hobonlohe, the imperial chancellor, declares tho willingness of Emperor William and Gonnauy to accept tho invitation to attend tho congress as proposed by tho Russian emperor. A MONGREL REPUBLIC. Tho Central American Confederacy Restricts Liberty. Managua. Nicaragua, Aug. ill.���Tho convention assembled at Managua to form a constitution for the confederacy to consist of Salvador, Honduras anil Nicaragua, has agreed upon 49 of the 149 articles. It has-been agreed (hat the name of the confederacy shall be the United States of Central America. The decisions arrived at aro as to what tho people nnd the states shall not do; not what the people have conceded to the government of the United States, of Oentral America. They declare that there shall be no death penalty enforced by anv stale and that no state shall cede any of its territory. They bridle thc liberty of tbo press and of publio declarations of opinions ailverso to the government. The work will not be completed until about November 1. The Nicaragua]! government recently impressed several persons from Leon and Granda, suspected of opposing thc government. The authorities appear to be 111 constant apprehension of revolutions. Only a few days ago, acucord- ing to El Liberal of July !i0, several young men from this city were called before the inquisition on suspicion of plottiug a revolution,and some of them were sentenced to the penitentiary. Many of tlie principal importers in western Nicaragua, native and foreign, have called on the government during tho last 10 days and urged it not to advance tho duties on imports, which it had contemplated doing, 100 per cent on the present high rates, of which advance from 16 to 25 por cent is to be paid in gold. The importers clo not know where the gold is to como from, in view of the fact that a largo percentage of tbo growing crop of coffee, the only important export from Nicaragua excepting dry hides nud India rubber, is pledged to the foreigners residing in other countries, who have advanced the monoy necessary to enable the planters to cultivate tho coffee shrubs through ten six years of their growth from tbe nursery to thy bearing state, A MONTANA INCIDENT. SPANIARDS LOST AT SEA Fugitives From Malate Find Watery Graves. NO TRACE OF THEM LEFT They Boarded Transports Under Tow for Manila and Were Cast Off iu a Storm. A Mail Carrier Waylaid and Shot Through the Body. Sylvanite, Mont., Aug. ill.���About (i o'clock this evening while Patrick Doran of Sylvanite was returning from Leonia with the mail sack on horse back he was held up and shot by Andrew Whitley of Troy. As Mr. Doran approached Whiltey, who was also on horse back, Whitley remarked : "I am going to bore a hole through you, " and commenced tiring. Doran mado an effort to grab his revolver when tho horses took fright and started in opposite directions, Whitley firing one shot. Doran stopped to recover his hat* which had blown off in the scuffle and seeing Whitley disappear, stopped to talk with Nick Michaels, an eyo witness to the shooting. Whitley circled around through tho bushes and headed him off, coming to tho front with drawn revolver and demanded, "hands up," and commenced shooting. The first shot took effect iu Doran's side, entering from behind after striking tho lower floating rib and passed out in front, leaving an ugly wound. Mr. Doran walked to his place about three miles to havo his wound dressed, and not until he reached here did ho realize its seriousness. He is resting comfortably under tho influenco of an opiate. A posse of officers wero at onco deputized aud started after Whitley who is supposed to bo hiding somewhere in the mountains. Somo say that ho bas fled to Canada. OPPOSES PROHIBITION. Goldwiu Smith Says That is an Interference With Personal Liberty. Toronto, Aug. 111.���In his opposition to prohibition Rev. Principal Grant has an able ally in Prof. Gold- win Smith. In the latter's personal organ, the Sun, ho says that prohibition treads on personal liberty and always fails of its object, and argues that it will do moro harm than good to public morals, concluding by saying that prohibition discriminates against the lighter drinks, such as wine, beer and cider, and in favor of whiskey, because the bulk of whiskey being less, it is more easily concealed. There are other intoxicants, such as opirm and chloral, which would be likely to increase when liquor was withdrawn. K. OF P. TROUBLES. The Report of tho Comniitcc Indicts Supreme Officers. Indianapolis, Ind., Aug. ill.���Tho committee appointed to investigate tho administration of the affairs of the supreme lodge of Knights of Pythias will make its report tomorrow morning. The report will be lengthy and will show that the supremo officers have been derelict if not guilty of wrong doing. The re-election of John A. Hiusey of Chicago as treasurer of the endowment rank, is conceded. The lodge passed a resolution asking congress to mako tho uniform rank a reserve of tho army second only to tho national guard of the different states. Tacoma, Aug. ill.���Tho Hong Kong Daily Press is authority for tho statement that 900 Spaniards, including 10 priests, lost their lives several weeks ago when the Spanish gunboat Leyte was captured by a vessel belonging to Admiral Dewey's squadron. The Leyte bad been stationed at an adjoining island where tho insurgents wero numerous and aggressive. Tho latter were gaining ground rapidly, causing 900 Spaniards to embark in throe transports iu an endeavor to escape from the natives, who would massacre them. The Leyte undertook to tow the two transports to Manila bay, where Spaniards aboaid them were to surrender to Admiral Dewey if they did not succeed iu reaching Manila undei cover darkness. The Leyte towed them down Pam- pangas river and somo distance along tbo coast. A heavy storm came up, milking it necessary for the Leyte to cut oil' her tows and proceed to Manila for assistance. Beforo getting there she was captured by the Americans the next day, and an American vessel was despatched to find the three transports, but failed to discover any trace of them. The natives on tho adjoining coast say they saw nothing of any vessels. The Hong Kong press finally reached the conclusion that the vessels foundered with all 011 board. A RABBI KICKED TO DEATH. He Sought to Save a Child From Brutal Assault. Chicago, Aug. ill.���Seeking to save a child from the attack of a 17-year-old boy, Louis Rosenblooni, a Jewish rabbi and a teacher of Hebrew, was himself assaulted and kicked to death. John Schlechta, charged with tho murder, lives with his mother at No. 38 De Koven street. In the sumo house lives a family named Levi, and Rosen- bloom had been intrusted with tl"1 education of one of tho children of the family. Young Schlechta had locked three-year-old Julius Levi in a shed nnd when tho child's mother objected he struck her in the face. Hyiunn Levi, 11 years old, the boy whom Rosenblooni is teaching, interfered in his mothers' behalf and he was kicked into the street. At this juncture the teacher ordered Schlechta to leave tho boy alone. Schlechta turned to Rosenblooni and struck him in the mouth, then followed the blow up with a fierce attack with his heels. Rosenblooni rolled into the street aud tried to regain his feot, but ho could not rise. Schlechta was upon him and renewed'tho assault. Half a dozen young men loitering in the vicinity took a hand in tho attack and did not desist until tho claug of a patrol wagon bell warned them of tho approach of the police. By the time the officers arrived they had all fled und only Rosenblooni was in tho street. He was picked up and died boforo tlie wagon could bc started for the hospital. THE HOLLANDERS' PRIDE. Thanks to the Nation for Loyalty to the Youthful Queen. The Hague, Aug. ill.���Tho queen regent of Holland, in a proclamation just issued upon the occasion of the end of her regency���her daughter, Queen Wilhelmina, coining of ago tomorrow���expresses warm pleasure at seeing the whole nation "ranged joyously around the throne of tho young queen, " thanks God that her dearest, wish has ben heard, and after thanking the peoplo for thoir loving and faithful support of herself, invokes God's blessiug upon the youthfiul sovereign, and concludes: "May our country become great in everything in which a small nation can bo great.

When men fall out those around them have not to wait long for the conflicting versions of the cause. We have had Mr. Turner's views of his dismissal aud those of His Honor the lieutenant-governor and now, as a side issue, comes young Mr. Mclnnes' version of his interview with Mr. Turner. The latter says that young Mr. Mc- Tho recent find at Atlin lake, near j lake Tugish, in the northern part of ��� '*? British Columbia, of rich placer de- ' posits, carrying purer gold by $!! to the ounce than that found in the Klondike, is sufficient evidence to warrant the belief that placer gold is not* con- lined to one district but underlies the greater part of the. eountry, awaiting discovery by those experienced enough or lucky enough to find it. It is use- les to speculate bow the precious metal came to be distributed over so largo an area in such quantities as search in the Yukon and Tagish districts reveals. Whether by glacial action or by disintegration of "mother lodes" or whether cast up by volcanic action and carried along the water courses to work its way by force of gravity to the underlying clays and bed rock are questions of little, moment. Gold has been shown to lie in places where it was not supposed to lie and all theories ns to the causo are sunk in tho consideration how best to secure as much of it as possible and then to hunt* for new ZtsTEW * G-OOIDS Hair Brushes, Tooth Brushes, and Cloth Brushes, ^Jto^-^also Oood Value in Sponges.^^^^ W.

We have, been told that the suggesting a coalition government of i "r . ... which Mr. Mclnnes, M. P., of Nani amo, could bo made a useful member. Young Mr. Mclnnes declares that he made no such proposition, but that Mr. Turner suggested a coalition and I drew up a list of names in which, I doubtless, the name of Mr. Mclnnes, M. P., figured, though tho young gentleman does not sny so. The offence that young Mr. Mclnnes committed was in visiting Mr. Turner at so critical a timo, but having visited bim it was doubly offensive on his part to discuss public questions with the defeated minister. Young Mr. Mclnnes occupies the positiou of private secretary to his father, the lieutenant-governor. The position of private secretary is om of a confidential nature and demands circumspect conduct on the part of the incumbent at all times, but m this instance, when tho secretary in question is in the entourage of a governor of a province, within whoso purviow come grave matters of state, it is imperative that the secretary move with the utmost precaution, a faithful custodian of such secrets as his position may havo put him in possession of. Young Mclnnes' conduct during the critical time through which his master, the lieutenant-governor, has just passed is shown by his own admissions not to have been prudent, He dabbled in affairs which were uot bis business unless ho had insrructions to mako them his business. Who can tell, tho ways of politicians aro so devious? As tho case at* present* stands Mr. Turner says to Mr. Mclnnes, "you did" and Mr. Mclnnes cries, "I didn't." Between the two the point of veracity is lost. A VAIN HOPE. The wish is evidently father to the thought with the opposition party and press that there will be another appeal shortly to tho electors of the province, and this belief is based on the supposition that with another opportunity tho result might prove different. There. is nothing to warrant this. On tho contrary thero aro strong indications that another appeal to thc people would accentuate the deserved disaster which an indignant people visited upou the Turner government. Clique rule can never bc successful. It may dominate and dictate for a time but its arbitrariness compasses its destruction. An impressive example of this is fouud iu tho experience of the conservative power at Ottawa. After ttir John Thompson's death a clique at tho capital uudertook to rule. Whoever was not for them was considered against them and was treated accordingly. This soon became intolerable and the people, who cannot bo deceived all the, time, seized tho first opportunity of driving from office men whose courses proved them unworthy of public confidence. It was the same with the Turner government. That gentleman is personally beyond reproach. He sought no gain for himself and cannot be charged with having consideration for personal profit. But ho was culpable, inasmuch as ho did not restrain those associated with him from a covetous desiro to divide among themselves and their friends for their own enrichment tho resources of tho prov- Yukon region comprised the most im portant gold placer deposits in the world. Five hundred miles this side, of Klondike creek equally rich deposits have been found and to come nearer home, there are indications of rich placers at KovercroeK,a few miles from this city. Their value has yet to be determined but the specimens already washed out aro enough to satisfy tho most sceptical as to the undoubted fact that British Columbia has within its boundaries thc greatest gold bearing areas ever known in any land, from which, within the next few years, will come enormous gain to tho world. There can be no doubt about tbis. Quartz mining is one of the busiest industries in this province, especially iu the interior where thousands of men find employment in the mines. Placer mining will undoubtedly attract* as much attention if not more, for tho reason that no capital to speak of is required to engage in it. Tho banks of Pine creek flowing into lake Atlin wero found to bo filled with gold liko currants in cake, and of this was tho caso there, why not on creeks flowing into the Columbia and Kootenay, which for ages havo been carrying down gold among tho detritus from the everlasting hills. Timo will tell. Keen eyes and eager hands are now at work everywhere and there is promise that most of the soil of this province will be, overtured within the next few years with advantage, it is hoped, tothe patient and persistent* men who do the work. One thing is certain, tho Cassiar region, always looked upon as a most promising region, has como up to expectations. It is in British Columbia aud tbe entire province must benefit more or less from the rapid expansion which must ensue there. Fortunately the rich laud still belongs to tho poople, the Turner government* not having lived long euough to give it away to some needy friend.
