The beHef has been expressed that 100 miles of .the Crow's Nest pass railway will be-built this year. This is barely possible. Railroad building lh. the mountains will be no easy task. It will b. be comparatively easy from Lethbrldge to Maoleod j and .perhaps 20 miles beyond,but before the pass ^a.'reajfWed there is a wild seotion to build throu'gh. While not so bad as through Rogers pass1 in,the Selkirks,it is sufficient to make oon-- .-'■ struotlon s^ow. On the west slope of the main range;of,the Rocky mountains there is another diffiouit piece of road to be built. In faot from Maoleod to Kootenay lake railroad'construction will not be rapid. The advantages of the road are manifest!, and,'.., as has been frequently stated»the building of the road means more to the Fort Steele distriot and the Kootenay oountry as a whole than the. building of any other line in British Columbia. East'Kootenay has transportation facilities for about four months in the year,and the intervening country between the upper Kootenay and Kootenay lake Is practically unexplored,although prospectors have been through the country and . report fine ledges of ore ,but not available,for lack of transportation facilities,.. The road,whenj built,will open up the Elk river,Bull river,, ! Moyea,and Grouse mountain district3»,from whioh so many favorable reports have been reoeived. The Building of the road,means everything to ; Fort Steele and the mining property in its vicinity; the rapid developtient;, of our mines,the transportation of ore.snd the erection of smelting worksln and around Fort Steele,all depends. upon the construction of the road. We have been assured by one in position to know, that the road will be commenced at an early day. The present Government has pledged It-self to assist,and see that this road Is pushed forward to completion as fast aa possible, A beginning, with a show of progress, will' Induce' capital to look over the situation and Invest at onoe. As has been frequently stated, the development of the Fort Steele district is yet in its infan cy,anoVwith the Crow's Nest pass road built,the . onward progress of this distriot would be greatly stimulated.

This point was taken by the Bgyptian troops at an early hour this morning, and their manner of aoquitting themselves in this, the first engagement of the Nile campaign, has given great satisfaction to the British Offioers. The long night march was pursued in absolute silence, in oonsequenoe of Which the arrival of the Egyptians at the Dervishes oamp took the enemy completely by surprise. They quickly rallied .however,and rushed to their arms. They stood to their positions and made a stubborn defense of the camp for tuo hours .during whioh there was hard fighting. The dervishes were finally put to rout by a flank movement executed by the oavalry. Seeing themselves in danger of being surrounded, the forces of Khalifa took to flight to the southward towards Suarda, pursued by the oavalry. , The reports received indicate the loss to the dervishes will amount to 1.000 men. Among those killed is the Emir Hammuda,who was their oomman- der'.besldes many important chiefs. Hammuda was in oommand of the largest foroe at Suarda. Hie Egyp- j tim loss in. the fight was 20 killed and 80 woun-« ' ded. Hundreds of the dervishes were taken prisoners . ' . A D E AD L Y B 0 M B. , Barcelona,June 7. A bomb was throvin into the orowd during the Corpus Chrinti prioensloy.' today'! and its explosition resulted in the killing of 6 persons and the injury of 50, The perorates* is unknown and his motive a mystery, News of the throwing of the bomb spread like wilt fire over the oity ar,d oaused a panic among the • great orowds drawn to the streets by the religious festival and the Sunday merrymaking usual to the oity. The sound of the explosion and the distressed orles of the Injured aid the .riends of the killed oreated an Indescribable paniu among the great crowd In the procession and lookers-on. The people were terror-stricken with dread of other bombu being th 'own,and was with difficulty that they were rcatraincd from stam- ' peding, A terrible socne ensued after the explo* sion. There were several corpses,and 40 persons severely wounded and lying around. The excitement oontinued unabated throughout the oity. The polloe have ploked up 30 f raiments of bombs in the street.

Sir Charles Tupper in a speech at Winnipeg, refering to the Crow's Nest railway Say:- In the same line-and In the same spirit,the works required to permeate and to oonneot the mines at Lethbrldge with the Crow's Nest Pa as, open ing up ■the magnifioient mineral oountry that is now pouring Its treasures aoross foe boundary into the United States of America,will in the same spirit be taken up by the Government of Canada* until these priceless mineral treasures are brought down through our own oountry,instead of flowing aoross the border. In connection with the 'above,we are assured that a start will be made on the Crow's Nest road this summer.And it is to the interest of every man in the Fort Steele distriot,to assist, in pushing this matter before the member from ' this district,and reoeive his assuran'oe that he will do his utmost to bringing this road to com* ple.tion. • * ORE SHIPMENTS, The amount of ore shipped by the North StarOo is as follows. Steamer Ruth, 366. tOnp. Steamer Annerly, 139.tons. Total 52G. tons.
