C:_-' ri if VOL..6.���������NO. 44. SANDON, B. C, SATURDAY, APRIL 18, 1903. 2.00 PER YEAR Local News Notes. Win. Hunter, of Silverton, was in town on Thursday. The talk of the town is the cheap fancy shirt-display at Atherton's. Take notice that the dato of the rival concert in Union hall is Tuesday April 28 th. The Republic mine at Slocan has another car of ore at the wharf awaiting shipment. Easter past off very quietly; Sandon had the appearance of the. deserted village in earnest. D. Moore, ore buyer for the Trail smelter, wa8 touring: the Slocan this week looking up contracts. The building material for the Payne zinc plant has arrived by C. P. R. and is being transferred to the K. & S. for deliverv. Mrs. F. S. Attwbod, who was visiting her aunt, Mrs, Fallows, and stayed over to attend the ball ou Monday evening, returned to Kaslo the following day. y The Payne is shipping its zinc to the Trail smelter. Fifty tons have already buen sent out, three cars will be shipped in a few days and more will follow dur- . ing the coming week. A couple of our young ladies cams to grief on Thursday while going to Three Forks on a hand-car. When about half _ the distance and going a lively gait, the car shot off the track and the ladies off the car. There was a general mix-up of skirts, shovels, picks and barrels, but beyond a severe jar no one was seriously hurt. Geo. Robbins and F. H. Hawkins, as- sayers, spent Sunday in New Denver. The curlers held a meeting on Tuesday evening and wound up the business of the season. Get one of those cheap fancy shirts at Atherton's before they are all gone. Only 50 cents. ��������� The rival concert which was announced to be held on April the 23rd has been postponed to Tuesday, April 28th. While the surrounding townsarebusy cleaning up their back yards, the snow is so deep in Sandon, that'you can't see the fences around them. H. Murhard'is painting, repapering and fixing up the interior of the Sandon Chop House, preparatory to starting up again before long. c Aid. Thos. Brown, men's furnisher, is packing up his goods and shipping them to Phoenix, where he will start up again in business shortly. Thos. McGuigan, manager of tht American Boy, arrived in town Tuesday from Spokane and is making preparations to reopen the mine which will be in afew days now that the likelihood of danger from snowslides is passed. A small force only will put on for short whije owing to the' spring freshets at this time of the year, and when the mine is sufficiently dry to receive an increase in the force it will done. Rev. Father Cote, who has been in charge of the Slocan mipsion, with headquarters in Sandon, the past three years, leaves in a short time for Fire Valley, near Sudbury, to assume charge of that parish. The citizens of Sandon of every denomination, but particularly his own flock, regret to hear of his intended departure. Since coming to the Slocan Father Cote by his jovial manner and liberal-minded views, haa endeared himself with his parishioners, and merited the esteem of all creeds. It was mainly through his efforts that the church of S(: Joseph was built in this city, which he leaves practically free from debt and well furnished in the interior". It was also largely due to him that the Catholic churches of Kaslo and Silverton were built. Father Cote is at present at the coast to visit His Lord- 8������ip Bishop Dqntenwill, of New Westminster, on pastoral matters, but will return and officiate in Sandon once more before his departure. The rink company's ball" on Monday evening last, after paying all expenses, netted the sum of $73, which considering the times is very good. The Rambler-Cariboo has closed down for a short time on account of slides. It ia expected to start up again in a few weeks when all danger is over. H. M. Stevenson, of the Highlander mine, Ainsworth, who has been in town looking after zinc, left for home the first of the week and will return in a few days. Mr. Stevenson is purchasing zinc ores for a New York firm to ship to the European market and offers better rates than some companies whose representatives have visited the camp. He haB not closed any contracta yet, but has a few deals under way, and on his return expects to bring them to a satisfactory conclusion. The True Blue property near Kaelo is to be sold under option to a syndicate of New York capitalists for $75,000. The' property made few shipments of high grade copper-gold ore last summer which gave very, high returns. The principals have taken the option pending a thorough examination of the surface ground to prove the continuity of the vein, which can not take place before the snow leaves the ground which will be about the. latter part of next month. If the new purchasers decide to take up the option the property will be worked on a large scale. R. T. Lowery is in Vancouver this week in connection with starting up his new paper, the Ozonogram or Boozea- dram. R. T. should keep away from the water while in the city, as the sight and smell of the salt sea may bring up unpleasant recollections of bygone days. Some years ago, while in Vancouver, Lowery started out to'see the sights. He had a hazy idea where he was going and tottered down with uncertain siep towards the dock. Hearing about St. Peter walking on the water, he attempted the same, likewise sank and had to be fished out. In his immersion he got a a Pacific oyster mixed up with a coast cocktail, and his etope and stomach, never in good order, have been upset ever since. '. Zinc is demanding more attention in the camp just now than silver or lead. See Atherton's window display of 50 cent shirts. The greatest bargain ever offered in the Slocan. The Oddfellows are making arrangements for their annual ball. This function is alwayB regarded as one of the leading society events and-will be held on the 8th of next month. The shipments of coke now being well in hand the C. P. R. has withdrawn the tug "Sandon" from the Slocan lake service. Capt. Roy Troupe has been sent up the Lardeau to assume command of a boat on Trout lake. More carpenters were added to the force at the Payne mill this week. The foundation for the zinc plant is finished and work on structural portion under way. The building will be pushed forward rapidly and be ready for operation in a few weeks. The Rink company's Easter ball en Monday evening was a grand success. The hall was filled with a gay assembly of merry dancers who enjoyed themselves until the early hours of the morning. The neighboring towns by the lake were well represented and greatly pleased with their trip. District Union N . 6, Western Federation of Miners, has elected the follow NO CHANGE IN TARIFF. But the Dominion Government Will Give a Bounty to the I^ead Industry. Word was received in town on Thursday that the estimates were brought down in the Dominion Parliament and there will be no changes^in the tariff.' The government announce it will grant a bonus, we have not heard the amount or conditions, but the tariff will have to stand.' Just how this will effect the Slocan we cannot say just now. The, decision of the goyernnient has been anxiously awaited and now that it is known the suspense in the Slocan is greater the ever. It is known the mine owners practically as a whole are opposed to a bounty, as it means little relief to them. It was understood by many that a bounty wan already granted on lead. A few years ago a delegation from the Kootenays went to Ottawa for that purpose and succeeded in obtaining we believe a bonus of $6 a. ton for refined lead to the amount of $600,- ing officers for the ensuing year: Presi- j 00������ a >'ear- /or * Period of three years, dent, P. W. McDonald, Rossland; vice president, H. Thompson, Sandon ; secretary-treasurer, George F. Dougherty, Greenwood. Nelson was again chosen as the city to hold the convention in next year. The Granby Smelter company has installed the most complete and up-to- date machine shops at its mines in Phoenix. In future its mining equipment and others will be repaired when necessary at its own works and not be sent out of the district. The innovation means more men employed for Phoenix. A number of our citizens interested in the Similkameen Valley Coal Co., were in Nelson this wetk attending the annual meeting which was held on Wednesday. Among them were Mayor Grimmett, W. W. Fallows, Robt. Mc- Taggart, J. B. Cliffe and J. W. Gauk- roger. The latter after the meeting left on trip to the coast and California cities. Some unable to attend were represented by proxy. The prizes were distributed this week to the winning rinks of the curling club in the schedule of games played not long ago. The first prize) four handsome briar pipes and tobacco pouches, were carried off by Mr. A. Scott's quartette, composed of E. M. Sandilands, lead; A. H. Lewis, 2nd; Geo. Ransom, 3rd, and A. Scott, skip. The second prize, four boxes of "Walkessi" socks, were won by N. J. Cavanaugh's rink, with Geo. Waite, lead; P. H. Murphy, 2nd; E. R. Atherton, 3rd, and N. J. Cavanaugh, skip. This practically winds up one of the most successful seasons of the Sandon Curling Club, whose membership the past year was the largest since it was founded several years ago. but whether it was ever put into ^force has not been determined. The bounty would afford no relief to the sufl'ering mine owners, as the smelter companies are the only ones who profit by it. The action of the government is a bitlerdis- appointment. The modest requisition of themineownershasbeen sweptaside, the resolutions of sympathy of the Liberal associations, Boards of Trade, labor organizations and the populace in general have been of no avail, and the distress of the silver-lead industry has not been considered sufficient to warrant government intervention. The outlook is anything but promising for the Silvery Slocan. ' Sandon Ore Shipments. The following are the ore shipments from Sandon for the week: Mine. Tons. SILVER-LEAD.

The Mlfliflff Sevlew. SATURDAY, APRIL 18, 1903. Hon. W. 8. Fielding gave thc Com nions another beautiful example of inconsistency in explaining the government's position in respect to the opening at Ottawa of a branch of the royal mint. When it was proposed to establish a Canadian mint, independent of the British institution, Mr. Fielding pointed out that the coining of money in this country would result in large deficits. According to his statement, such a mint would be idle eleven months out of the year unless gold' was coined, and this could only be done at groat loss. Mr. Fielding now bases his argument in favor of a branch of the royal mint, on the claim thatgold_ sovereigns may bo freely coined. It will surely be gratifying to Canadians to learn that by striking BriLishcoins they can lose money. At the present time wc reap large profits by having our coin currency produced in England. When the government inaugurates its new policy, according lo the Finance Minister's own statement, a deficit will follow. SOUND AS A. DOLLAR That is the result of a course of treatment with Scott's Emulsion. We ������������������ have special reference to persons with weak lung's and sensitive throats.

Tho debate on tho issue was short and sarcastic, and the vote slood 17 to 17, the Speaker giving the deciding vote in favor of the government. This does not by any means indicate that the Prior ministry will not live through the ��������� ses- scssion. Tho united opinion of the province is that the next election should be carried out on party lines, lo endeavor to form a staple government eo badly needed in British Columbia, and any resolution brought before the House to attain this end would be almost sure'to carry. Some of the members who voted for the resolution find against the government,, will support Premier Prior in the main that the session may bo carried through. The appeal to 'thercoun- try on party lines will follow, that is a foregone conclusion. lungS which gives them ��������� most loathsome political corruption Strength and makes themtOllHl. known in history, Us record in the courts has brought the blush of shame to the brow of that fair province,, which has been held up for ridicule all over the continent, but it remained for the exposure of the Gnmey episode to f-how the dastardly means adopted by iis officials in their lust for power. That's how Scott's Emulsion drives out coughs, colds and bronchitis. It keeps them out, too. We'll send yon ;i little lo try, if you like.

Tho Sir Thos. Lipton, the America's Cup challenger, has oflered to put up $20,000 for one of the good old steamboat races on the Mississippi river. .He will impose no conditions only that the fastest boats will compete. Sir Thomas conceived the idea from reading Murk Twain's book "Life on the Missipsippi," in which the old fashioned races are vividly described, and proposes another one out of enthusiasm for aquatic sport.

In discussing the question of mine failures, the Engineering and Mining Journal lias the following to say on the subject. ���������'The principal source of trouble arises," il states, "from over valuation. A mine may bo said to lie worth a given sum when it can return that sum as profit from operation!, covering a term of years pins the interest on hisin vestment during the period consumed in return of the stated price.- When this is translated into a share capital the conditions are the same, although the amount of interest.which should be ' returned in the form of dividends will vary iu percentage according to the hazard of the different kinds of milling. "Apart from specific causes, there are several influences which niililatoiiga'inst true value... There is that expectation of better thing?, that resolute hopefulness which is,necessary to all exploration work. We cannot do without- it, but it should be so restrained as to regard the rules of arithmetic. It is natural to the owner, to the manager, to tlie intending purchaser, to all persons to whom tbe success of the mine ioinis- tora, directly or indirectly; therefore, all the more reason, for taking care that the valuation of the mine be intrusted to those whose judgement is in no wise vitiated either by sanguine sentiment or that disturbing influence which' is covered by the term participation., To summarize, mines are often over-valued because the valuation ia usually done by people who are interested in getting a maximum apprisemont. "There is another far-reaching factor: mines are frequently bought to sell. It is a cynical truth that more money is made by selling mines than by buying them���������because they aro often sold for more than they are worth. Therefore it happens that although a property may be recognized as worth a stated eum,neverthelcDS shrewd persona will be willing to pay a larger amount because they have a reasonable expectation of selling it subsequently for still more. If this is brought about by further intelligent development, by solving knotty problems of ore tremtment, by a new equipment which minimizes working costs, that is, by engineering talent' of the beat kind, then assuredly the enhancement in price is both warranted and deserved'; but when it merely presumes upon the ignorance of individuals or of shareholders, it partakes of the practices which slide imperceptibly into acts that are.dishonest. "The leaultof these tendencies is that it is bard to purchase mines at a fail- valuation���������that is, we repeat, a valuation such as is likely to give a return of the purchase price plus a reasonable interest on the capital invested. The supply of good mines is far below tho demand; in addition to those who arc shrewd enough to recognizo that yjoid mining, if properly safe-guarded, is' the safest industry extant there are a .large number who see the advantage of trading upon the sanguine temperment of human kind, and there is another class of people who rush in where experienced men feat to commit themselves. Thus, if a mine is worth a certain sum, as nearly as tho fact can be determined j by skilful and trained specialists, thon the first group described will pay that much for it, while the second will pay more according to the popularity of the locality and the attractiveness of the scheme, and the third group of innocents, will be deluded into parting with : a prico which, hunianlyspeaking, promise? a loss with a dreary certainty. "The..e arc someof the reasons why mining ventures prove unprofitable;! they are mjcIi as time alone can remove���������time and the education of the! public to a realization of the fact that while no industry ailbrds euch rapid and remunerative returns as legitimate ' mining,' none affords so readily the j facilisdeceiiGus Averni Which awaits the greedy or the foolish in the financial arena." ��������� I have no win stock a choice assortment of How to Ward Off an Attack of Rheumatism.

On'Thursday the foundations .were started for the construction of a slime treatment plant, which. promises to mean much for Trail and tlie country generally, states the Trail News.' Silver slimes, somewhat similar to those produced in copper refining, are turned out in connection with the electrolytic re- iiningof load, and these were formerly shipped to thc United States for treatment. They contain the precious metals, gold and silver, combined 'with arsenic, antimony and other impurities occuring in the lead bullion. When in opemtion, this plant will turn out pure silver, which goes direct to China and Japan; pure gold, which.will be marketed in Seattle and San Francisco fas the Canadian governmentdoesnotpurchase on the same basis as does the UY S, Government); copper sulphate which will bo marketed in the Territories for washing seeds, and either metallic antimony or antimonial lead, which will supply the Canadian demand in making; babbits and other alloys. The establishment of thisplantplaces the Canadian miners and, smelters entirely independent of United States institutions, and every dollar.will be expended in Canada, so far as the exlrac-, tion of lead and the precious metals from the ores mined in theconntry may be concerned. J t is estimated that the amount of values handled in this plant will eventually he ten or fifteen thousand dollars daily, depending upon the amount of ores shipped, which, at the present time, is very small ou account of the unsatisfactory condition of the London market. The Montreal-Boston Copper Co. will install a converter in- their smelter at Greenwood; The old Donald property nearlllecilli- waet, is being acquired by English capital. The property runs high in zinc. The affairs of Lanark Consolidated' Mines near Laurie' are being .wound up',, and their properties are to be disposed of. The Payne here purchased their milling plant from this company last summer. A change has been made in the management of the Metropolitan Company, operating in the Lardoau country. The Rev. McCrossan who, while managing the company, came in for' considerable notenety has been retired. McDonald and Sutherland, who have the Elkhorn property near Greenwood under bond have just made their initial shipment by sending out one carof high grade ore. The ore baa the same appearance as Unit taken from the Providence, which property it adjoins. A Mother's Recommendation.

Gaukrogers, late foreman at the Star, was well remembered by the employees at the mine last Saturday. As soon as the men heard of his intended departure they decided to testify their appreciation of his supervision in some manner. On Saturday evening they presented him with a handsome gold watch chain and exquisite toilet set, accompanied by an address. The presentation was made and address read by Percy Johnson, who on behalf of the miners paid a glowing tribute to Mr. Gaukroger for hie strict regard to duty and the personal safety of the men. They sincerely regretted his departure and hoped ho would accept the accompanying gifts as a token of the respect and esteem in which he was held by the employees of the Star'. Mr. Gaukroger was completely taken by surprise and it wan some time before he recovered himself. On regaining his composure he said the handsome gifts and testimonial had taken him unawares as nothing of the kind was expected by him and their flattering ad.1 ress was undeserved. He could find no words at his command to givo expression to his thoughts for the handsome manifestion of the .miners, and hoped they would accept his heartfelt thanks for the kind remembrance as he was too conlused to do justice to the occasion. A pleasant few hours were afterwards spent in lhe bunkhouse around a festive board, during which a few speeches were made and toasts oilered for the future success of their guest of the evening wherever he may cast his lot.
