Percy Dickenson put 20 men to work on Monday to complete the wagon road from here to Lemon creek. This will be of great assistance in taking supplies up to the various mines. If the government could be induced now to do their part in continuing the road up Lemon creek, it would be of the utmost benefit to those who are spending their money and time to open up that very valuable section'. There is no question that this section demands more attention from the provincial government in the building of roads than has so far been given, airl a larger share of the money that has been and is being collected here from licenses and poll tax should be invested in the camp. The new schoolhonse is now completed. It is 24x4S feet, two stories,and particularly well ventilated and lighted by very large windows. The teachers and pupils commenced work in the new quarters Monday morning, and are delighted with their surroundings.

Despite the assurance that was given last week of the immediate settlement of the labor difficulty, complications have since arisen to prolong negotiations and make the settlement of a less general character than was at first reported. Just what, the difficulty is nobody seems to know, but there, is every indication that the matter will be settled .uid work resumed on the. big properties within a week. Since the premature publication of the reported settlement, the union members and the mine managors have been more reticent in giving information and very little can be learned of their doings, though they are in conference���or, as they would, rather put it, "interviews" ���almost daily. The end is surely close at hand, and may be looked for any day. The report is current that a conference was held this week in Kaslo between representatives of the Managers' Association and the Miners'Union of Sandon, and the Kaslo Board of Trade. This would indicate that the point at issue between the miners and managers is such that it connot be settled without the assistance of a third party, and it would seem that the Kaslo Board of Trade is acting in the capacity of arbitrator. What was done, or what may be the outcome of the conference, remains to be seen. There is the persistent rumor that work in the big mines will be resumed at once. THE M0NASMEEI Enormous Beer Consumption. London Home Magazine: With every tick of the clock, ��6 15s worth of beer vanishes down the world's throat; every minute ��410 worth disappears; every hour the world pays ��24,651 for its beer; and every day it swallows the yearly income of 3,000 middle class families in nearly ��(->00,000 worth of the "brown beverage." Stupendous as these figures are, especially when we consider that the world's beer bill for a year amounts to ��216,000,000 sterling, the figures which represent the quantity consumed are incredible. The beer which is consumed throughout the world in a single, year would make a lake tt feet deep, 3*| miles long, and a mile wide, or 2.139 acres in area. In this vast lake of beer we could easily drown all the English speaking people to the number of 120,000,000 throughout the entire world, or we could in ve a beer bath to every man, woman and child at the ,same; time in the entire, continent of America, while all the peoples of England, Scotland, Ireland and France could find standing room on its bed. .��� The Hired Girl. face.

If old man McTntyre, who discovered the Monashee mine on the mountain of that name, lives a few years more, he will in all probability see.a great mining camp in the district in which he labored with such indifferent success 18 years ago. When the Cherry creek placer excitement was on in 1881 2, a prospector named Mclntyre located a rich quartz ledge on Monashee mountain and staked three claims. He interested Forbes G.Vernon in the find, and a Huntingdon mill was placed upon the property. The ledges .were rich, but the mill would not save the gold, and Forbes G. Vernon finally let his interest go. The claims were crown granted and the property has remained idle for years, though during its operation it is said that 810,000 worth of rock was shipped from it. Mclntyre is now 70 years of age, and another partner, who lives in New Westminster, has reached 75 years. Their property: is now said to have an immense value. Samples taken from the most westerly of their three claims give an average of S10 per ton in free gold, while the ledge on the claims to the east on the Kettle river side is so rich that free gold can be seen in almost every shot that is put into it. The Monashee mine was virtually forgotten until three years ago, and it was not until John B. and Harry Olds and Harry Page, who were ranching in Fire Valley, made a prospecting trip round Monashee mountain and the headwaters of Kettle river, that anything- further was heard of the old pro. perty. The Olds party came upon good looking quartz; They located four claims, and for two years worked quietly upon their development. They were undisturbed, and before the outside public learned much of their discovery they had done enough work to show up a magnificent prospect. Through their three claims four strong parallel ledges run. Their mode of prospecting- was the sinking of a number of shafts, the deepest of which is down 30 feet; and the running of open cuts and stripping of the ledges, which has been done for 700 feet. The ledges have a uniform width of about six- feet, but in one place one of them shows to a width of 40 feet, and another ledge with a width of 31 feet on the surface widened out to 6>�� feet in 25 feet depth. The ledges have walls of porphyry, the ledge matter being brittle quartz, carrying gold values of from $10 to' $63, and sampling it is said to tun $40 to the ton. Curiosity as to the value'of the Olds property drew-Robert Shiell and other Nelson-men into :the district last spring. The Shiell brothers staked easterly and westerly extensions of the Olds group, but have done nothing but surface work so far. Following them David Whiteley, or Red Paddy as he is better known, staked his celebrated group' of prospects on Monashee mountain, from which, with practically no'.work' done upon them, some of the richest gold samples seen in Kootenay have been taken. On the same mountain George- Doyle and Fred Williamson have located claims, from which big surface assays have been made. Last week R. Madden, Mickey Monaghan and Mike O'Brien staked eight other claims in the neighborhood of Red Paddy's find, two of them being extensions of his promising group Robert Shiell, who was the leader of the latest rush into the Monashee district, says that the district has everything to warrant a liberal expenditure of money. The section so far covered is about six miles square in extent, and all told- about fifty claims have been staked. The ledges appear to be uniformly strong, but in most instances it is necessary to gv.t down to the solid quartz before values can be obtained. The Olds have been offered substantia! prices for their property, but they decline to sell. They will be the only claim holders in the district to work this winter, but upon the result of their work will in a great measure depend other operations in the spring-. They are now running' a crosscut tunnel to tap the four parallel ledges. They cut the first ledge in 14 feet, but at practically no depth, and have 400 feet to run. to reach the farthest ledge, upon which they will have a depth of 200 feet. The best way into the district is byway of Vernon, if supplies are to be taken in, as the Cherry creek wagon road runs within five miles of the camp; but for men going in light, the camp can be made by a 30-mile ride over the trail up' Fire Vallev.���Tribune.- FROM THK DEVIL'S .TESTBOOK. ladv tyrannous them a Beside the sewing table, chained and bent, .

LOW WAGES AND IMMORALITY When we think of the thousands of dollars that are being sent from the mining camps of Kootenay every week for. clothing* that ought to be purchased of the home merchant, we are forced to admit that something is j Doctors prescribe it That Cough BovelTs Syrup will succumb to MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING. It is somewhat strange that the mine managers and the officers of the Sandon Miners' Union should have raised such a rumpus over the published report that a settlement had been reached in the labor trouble. ,.The worst that might be said of it is that the report was somewhat premature. It was based upon good foundation, and at the time of publication it looked reasonably certain that the matter was closed. If subsequent complications have come up to change the condition of affairs, it will only be temporary. Both sides are in the right frame of mind to amicably settle the difficulty." A settlement must be made, and will be made, des.pite._the. positive statements to the contrary made by a few mine manager's valets. A lesson should be learned from this premature publication of facts relating to what was supposed to be a secret matter. The members ot the Miner's Union should treat with more consideration and secrecy any matter of business coming from the managers and not make public talk of such matters. It is difficult to repair broken confidence. A matter was never so near settled but what a slip of the tongue might upset it. On the other hand, if the mine managers are really seeking a settlement, thev will not be deterred by the premature publication ol their plans. radically wrong, either with the peo- j You try it 25c & 50c bottles IF IT HAD BRAINS. The labor trouble of the Slocan has developed some very nasty traits of human character. The man who pats the miner on the back and at the same time pleads the cause of the men who are attempting to reduce wages is one of them. The man who secretly opposes the very men of whom he hopes to win favor is another. The man who hangs on to the ragged edge of the mine owners' circle and jumps when the boss pulls the string is another. But all these are angels from the holiest realms of paradise as compared with the individual who is responsible for this, from the local columns" of the Nelson Miner: "The Miners' Union of New Den veils curiously and wonderfully made up. Appearing on the register as "miners" are Geo. M. Davis, who make s a living as a violin player; Julius Wolf, who is and has been a nurse at the hospital; C. Nesbitt, who is a painter by trade, and runs a fruit 6tore; T. Lloyd, a steamboat deckhand; John McDonald, a well known teamster; Walter Smith, a street laborer, and seyeral others^whora no person would ever suspect of being miners. If the Miners' Unions of other camps are similarly constituted the miners have a real grievance to remedy." It is not for the defense of the boys of the local union that we give attention to this article. All of those mentioned were considered good enough miners to draw $3.50 a day before the lock-out, and the managers would be glad to get them to work in the mines now if thev would accept $3 a shift. It evidently hurts the Miner's shallow-pated informant to see that the boys are able to turn their hand to other work while the lockout, is on. But aside from the local significance of the article, which is really very small when the men assailed . re known, is the sickenin-r spectacle of a depraved intellectual sap-head inveigling* an outside paper into an attempt to bring iynomy upon the names of men who were citizens of the Slocan before the Nelson Miner or its informant were in the country. If the Miner had any brains it would not be so foolish. THK MILK IN THE COCOANUT. According to the modern way of looking at it���through money-bags-- there is ample cause for the South African war. In 1898 South Africa produced $80,000,000 in gold. Since and including 1887 to and including 1898 the mines of South Africa have pie or the home merchant. Perhaps both are at fault. One because of necessity and the other through a lack of knowledge and foresight, or a desire to win big profits. However this may be, the difficulty could be remedied if the question were given proper attention by both parties. All must admit that it is a pernicious principle. It drains a town of all its ready cash, local enterprises are ignored and business becomes stagnant. The money that is sent out is lost to the community. It goes to en rich the white slave drivers of the East. They know nothing of the welfare of this toivn'or that, and care less. They do not have to contribute to the pubiic enterprises, do not help to improve the town, do not care who the needy be. Their demand is cash before delivery, cash all along the line. That's business. But where would the average family be if the local merchant were to adopt thi; rule? There is another view of the question that ought to be considered. It is told by Kit in the Toronto Mail and Empire: "It is so easy to talk platitudes when you've had a good dinner and. sit comfortably clothed and warm in your snug room. But think of youth and fresh girlhood fading day after day in the dim precincts of factory and sweatshop; think of every hope slowly dying, ot the want and despair and pinching out of the meagre gray days. And side by side with this terrible existence place the temptations that always come to poor youth, and to poor girlhood. How many of us who are better off would keep to the straight and narrow path were we in a like case, while the broad highway on which lie the pleasures and luxuries of life shines so near. But on that way lies sin! Well, when the heart and brain are dulled to apathy, the conscience is not apt to be very sensitive. When want of decent food, of clothing, and heat, and the common necessities assail one, when honest toil will not bring honest wage, it takes a very strong soul to keep on that narrow, grim way. And we are only human. A great and terrible account will be laid at the doors of the masters in trade when the summing up times come for us all. The traffic of the factories and sweat shops is as much a trafficking in flesh and blood as ever was that of the slave trade. There is not one of these despairing or reckless girls who goes down to utter destruction and ruin after an unavailing attempt to earn a decent livelihood by the work of her hands but will have to be accounted for by those in whose hands the power lay to help her." .
