TWO DOLLARS A YEAR. [I.;.;;- HE WILL GET $166 66 PER MONTH. The City Council Passes the By-law Fixing the Mayor's Salary. At Monday evening's session of the city council the by-law' introduced by alderman Teet/.el, fixing the mayor's salary at $2000, per annum, was put through its various stages! When the by-law. reached the committee stage, mayor Houston offered an amendment that the salary of the mayor be reduced to $1500. The amendment was seconded by alderman Dow, but upon the question being put it wa.s lost. Mayor Houston offered a second amendment, fixing the remuneration of the aldermen at' the nominal sum of $50 per annum. For this amendment no seconder could be secured and it went by default. Alderman Dow gave formal notice that at the next meeting of the council he would -move the reconsideration of the by-law. Alderman Teetzel presented the' report ol' the finance committee re the account of the city solicitor, which was submitted at the rate of $100 per month. The report recommended the payment ol the account, and further recommended that in future the city solicitor be paid only for such specific services as he renders. The report was received and adopted. . Several complaints havingjbeen received respecting the scavenger arrangements of (ieorge H. Owen, a general discussion followed upon the desirability of the corporation taking over the scavengering business within the city. The complaint of the citizens was that the present scavenger did not attend to the work, aiid a counter complaint on the scavenger's behalf was that those complaining against him would not pay sufficient tohave the work done properly. The opinion of the council was that so long as the present system obtained, there would be more or less dissatisfaction, but as the council was not prepared to make the outlays incidental to taking over the work at present, it was decided to leave the scavenger work in the hands of O'eorge 11. Owen for the present. Chief of police Woolverton was made health officer.1 He will give immediate attention to all who neglect the sanitation of their premises, and thev will have a chance to explain such neglect to magistrate Crease.

Carelessness on the Part of a Smelter Hand Causes Much Damage. On Wednesday evening an accident happened at the works of the Nelson Klectrie Light company, which will render it impossible for the company to supply light for two or three weeks. Among other improvements recently made at the company's plant was a new .frl-inch flume from the dam to the penstock. The flume has a much greater carrying capacity than the old one and the volume of water sent through it for present purposes was regulated by a patent water gate. Wednesday evening the water in the Hall Mines smelter reservoir began to get low. This water is supplied through the light company's flume, and an employe of the Hall Mines took it upon himself to open the water gate at the head of the flume. The result was that a larger body of water was sent through the flume than could be carried off by either the smelter flume or the light company's pipes to the power house. The surplus water demolished the light company's penstock, washed out the bank and tore out the steel pipe leading from the penstock to tho. power house. The damage was done in a few minutes, before the light company's electrician could run up to the dam and .shut the gate. It is estimated that the damage will amount to over $1,000. The Hall mines will doubtless be called upon to foot the bill. The breakage caused much inconvenience. to the users of electric light throughout the city. ONE MAN CAUSES MUCH TROUBLE. WHITE GROUSE DISTRICT. Several Citizens Needlessly Summoned in Court for Violating' the Fire By-law. Tlm amount, of trouble which one man can cause when he sets his mind to it, was well illustrated in the police court this morning. Several weeks ago W. P. Robinson negotiated a lease of the Bilker street lot adjoining the Clements & Hillyer-block, owned by T. 11. Giffin. The lessee of the lot was George W.Brown, and he commenced the erection of a frame building upon 'the same. Shortly after this the fire limit by-law was passed by the council. As several had made arrangements to put up frame buildings within the fire limits, it was generally understood that the provisions of the fire limits by-law would not be put into effect against them provided they commenced work before the by-law became law aud carried the same on continously. George W- Brown neglected to avail himself of this condition. He commenced work before the by-law came into effect, but he did not carry the work ou continuously. Complaint being made by the owners of adjacent property, a summons was issued .against Brown for infraction of the bylaw. This case, it will be remembered, was dismissed by magistrate Crease for the reason that the structure had not at that Lime proceeded far enough to warrant a conviction for infraction of the bylaw under the section upon which the charge was laid. The case was dismissed, but Brown dare not-proceed, a.s further additions to the building might constitute a breach of the by-law. At this point W. .P. Robinson sought to help Brown out, and he interviewed chief of police Woolverton and requested him to take proceedings against every other person who was putting up a frame building within the lire limits. With this re- request Robinson coupled the promise that if Woolverton did not take such action, he would report him to the police commissioners for neglect of duty. The result was that upwards of a dozen were before the magistrate this morning upon the charge of violating the by-law, fully half of whom had mayor Houston's warrant for doing what was complained of. Their cases were speedily disposed of. but there was no necessity for having summoning them, and altogether owing to Robinson's interference they were subjected to the. inconvenience of attending court. The first of these cases called was that against Edward Applewhaite. The evidence of mayor Houston was that while the fire limits by-law was being discussed, Applewhaite came to him and stated that he. had prepared plans for building a frame structure within the proposed limits, and wanted to know how the by-law would affect him if his building were'unfinished when the by-law came into effect. He was assured by the mayor that-if he commenced work before the by-law came iuto effect and carried the same on continuously, there would be no proceedings taken by the council. In the mayor's opinion, Applewhaite had complied with the conditions imposed by the council. Magistrate Crease expressed the opinion that it would be wrong to impose any fine iu such a case, and he dismissed it without costs. The same consent was given in the eases of George Woods, Turner & Boeekh, George Neelands, John Johnson and Fred Richardson, and the cases against them were accordingly dismissed. ��� ' The case against J. ilastie was adjourned. It was admitted that Ilastie Dad secured permission to put up the building, but it was contended that he had not complied with the condition to keep working until the building was completed. In the cases of O. Lund, E. C. Traves and C. Harrington it was shown that they had made substantial progress with their-buildings before the by-law came into effect, and had kept at work continuously ever since. For this reason the magistrate decided to dismiss the . cases against them, and the position of George W. Brown is as isolated as before. LOCAL NEWS AND GOSSIP. The local board of school trustees are considering the advisability of closing the public school during the hot weather. This policy has been followed in other cities, but it is rendered more necessary in the case of Nelson by reason of the scant accommodation afforded by the department for the school children of this city. The local trustees have reason to fear that it the school is continued, the children will crowd each other to death. Silas H. Crosse was before magistrate Crease this week on a charge of swearing on Baker street. He was assessed the costs of the court and allowed to go with a warning. Last evening a 50-pound case of No. 1 giant powder,took fire in James A. Gilker's store at Pilot Bay. Fred Burn and four or five others were in the store, when it was noticed tliat the powder was on fire. Burn started to carry out the box. but the fumes were too much for him, so he dropped it and left the store in charge of the powder. ;On the way up to Nelson this morning Fred was trying to figure out where lie would have been had that powder exploded. The store was but slightly damaged. The Crow's Nest Railway Always That is Necessary to Give the New Camp a Start. , P. G. Lidner, the New York metallurgist, returned to Nelson this week after spending three weeks in the White (Jrouse mountain district. Like most well informed men who have beeu through the White Grouse district Mr. Lidner is very favorably impressed with its mineral showings and predicts that White Grouse will come to the front very rapidly a.s soon as transportation facilities are secured. There are several properties in a position Jto^ship ore at once, but the owners do not feel inclined to expend $10 per' ton in moving their ore to the lake. The most promising claims in the district so far are the Storm King, Golden King, the Sawyer's claims, including the Kaslo, Chicago and Annie S., the George Henry Fisher and the Crown of England. The prevailing mineral is yellow copper, but the gray copper found in many of the ledges carries the highest values. Mr. Lidner is of the opinion that the ore from this districtewill average from $50 to $75 to the ton, and as there are 800 claims in the district White Grouse, iu his opinion, will rank second to none when it has the necessary transportation facilities. The feature of the past month has been the development of the Crown of Eugland claim, about a mile distant from the .Storm King. This claim, together with the Great London, Salida, Ames and Hilma is owned by Paul Johnson, superintendent of the Hall Mines smelter. On the surface there was a showing of six inches of yellow copper, 18 ounces of silver and $4 in gold. In doing the assessment work this month an open cut was run upon the ledge, which showed the ledge to be I(i feet wide, aud the mineralized portion of it widened out to four feet, with considerable gray copper showing in the bottom of the cut. A sample assay across the face of this four-foot showing gave a return of $35 in gold, silver and copper. The property is admirably situated for working, and if transportation facilities warranted could commence shipping with very little preparatory work. HEALY AND HIS HISTORY. A Montana Man who Climbed to the Top of the Heap in the Yukon. John C. Healy, who was formerly sheriff of Choteau county, Montana, is one" of the big wigs of the Yukon country today, be. ing general manager of the North American Trading company, operating for about 2000 miles on tiie Yukon river. Healy is; a typical frontiersman, ancl during the early days in northern Montana 'won renown and distinction as a reliable scout, a brave and desperate Indian fighter and a peace officer who feared neither man nor devil. His brother, Tom Healy, yet resides in Benton, as do also several of his. children, who are married to well-known residents of the town. In the early '80s Mr. Healy met with business reverses in Benton and left for Alaska, where, in connection with -P.-B. W'eare and other business men of Chicago, he organized the North American Trading company. He was made manager and the business of the corporation has developed so rapidly during the last five years that he has built up a fortune for himself aud those who backed him financially in the enterprise of which he is the recognized head. In connection with trading and aiming, the company now operate a line of steamers on the Yukon river, and will garner a righ harvest from the thousands of gold seekers who are now headed Cloudy keward. Healy is an old newspaper man���-a fluent aud graceful writer���and many of the recent articles in reference to the fabulous richness of th�� Klondyke and other districts in Alaska, are believed to be inspired if uot actually written by Healy. Healy is the man who offered to deliver Sitting Bull alive at Washington for $50,000 after the Custer massacre, at a time when the war department was in a state of feverish anxiety over the movements of the old cutthroat, and it was owing to the merest accident that Healy did not kill him a year later at Fort Walsh, a mounted police station in the Northwest Territory. It was then that Healy made his famous ride from Walsh to Helena, a- distance of 310 miles in 13 hours, starting with one horseand finding relays as best he could, carrying war dispatches for the Sew York Herald. It was probably the greatest ride across the country ever made, and enabled the Herald to "scoop" its contemporaries successfully. When advised of the scout's great ride, James Gordon Bennett rewarded Healy with a check for $1000 and an autograph letter of thanks. The Death of Lord Revelstoke. Tile Canadian Gazette refers as follows to the death of a man after whom one of British Columbia's towns is named: The death of lord Revelstoke calls for notice in this journal on account of his long association with large Canadian interests. The Barings and Glyns were for many years the financial agents of the Dominion government, and at a time when colonial credit was on a much lower level than it is today, it often required means and courage to successfully float a Dominion loan, and with lord Revelstoke at* the head of the Barings aud the late .Mr. Cur- rie on behalf of Glyn's bank, neither courage nor resources were wanting. THURSDAY NIGHT'S SHOOTING. S. V. Swyny Seriously ' Wounds Alice Willis and'Then Suicides. S. V. Swyny caused some excitement in the city Thursday night by shooting Alice Willis, of east Baker street, and then fatally shooting himself. " Swyny had made himself objectionable at the Willis house on several occasions by reason of au unaccountable infatuation for Alice Willis. He called there early Thursday night, and it was while the woman was endeavoring to persuade him to leave the house that Swyny shot her and then himself. The shooting was hot' preceded by any altercation. Swyny was in the dining room in the rear of the house and the woman left the front room for the purpose of inducing him to leave. She had barely time to reach the door of the dining room when the, first shot was heard, followed quickly by a second, and later a third. A 1'1-calibre revolver was used for the shooting. Swyny shot the woman through the' left side of the body, inflicting, a serious ' though not necessarily fatal wound. Me did not attempt to follow his victim after the first shot, but turned the revolver upon himself and sent a bullet through his forehead, dying a few moments later. Swyny's home is in Butte, Montana, where he leaves a widow, aud one child. He was a Scotchman by birth and married a Nova Scotia girl some 10 years ago. He came to Nelson about a month ago from either Rossland or Trail. He was employed for some time in A. C. Ewart's office as an architect, but more recently worked as a carpenter upon some repairs being made iu the Nelson hotel. He had been drinking rather heavily of late. The body was removed to McArthur's undertaking rooms. Dr. La Ban was called to attend to the wound received by,Alice Willis. AVhile not yet out of danger, there is every chance for her recovery. LUCKY BALDWIN BROKE. He Will Try and Recoup His Fortunes in the Klondyke. Among those who will 'start- for the Klondyke to repair their lost fortunes is "Lucky" Baldwin. The necessity for such a move will come as a surprise to those who have not kept track of the fortunes of the multi-millionaire. it is reported that no part of Baldwin's' vast estates is now under his control. Mortgages cover not only his property, but itsinconie. It is held, that uot one- quarter of the value of his estates is covered by the mortgages, but the fact-remains'that, at forced sale, his property would not bring half its value. A great deal of it, too, is producing no revenue. One. bank, the Hibernia, holds mortgages on Baldwin's belongings to the amoun t of $2,420,000. The Bald win hotel property in San Francisco is probably worth that much, and rents for $50,000 yearly. The Santa Auita ranch is assessed at $1,500,000, and has been estimated to have cost $10,000,000. But the ranch is too fine to pay. It includes the finest orange grove in Southern California, but it costs several cents to grow each orange. Water is piped to every tree. Baldwin is paying the Hibernia bank <$157,300 annual interest. It was only three or four years ago that Elias J. Baldwin was spoken of as one of the wealthiest, if not the wealthiest, i"acing man in the United States. His wealth was estimated at anything above $10,000,000. He followed the turf as a pastime, just as a boy plays marbles. It was 40 years before that time that Baldwin; drifting away from his Indiana birthplace, had made his first appearance in California. He turned up in San Francisco without a dollar. He began by running a livery stable. Then he took to selling groceries. He took large quantities of apparently worthless mining stock for his groceries when he could uot get money. He put this carefully away. One winter he went to .Japan to bring over a Japanese theatrical troupe to play the mining towns, lie returned in a few months to learn tliat the rich Comstock lode had been discovered, aud that he was a millionaire. Thence he earned his sobriquet of "Lucky." Baldwin fulfilled his contract with his Japanese, then returned to San Francisco and reinvested his money. livery mining or other scheme he touched prospered. He became celebrated as a successful turf breeder. Four times his Spanish named horses (Baldwin became enamored of everything Spanish through a woman) won the Derby. The stables were at the Santa Auita ranch. Baldwin made racing pay. Baldwin's matrimonial ventures have been second only to his turf winnings. He married four times. He parted from one wife and and had to settle on the basis of $1,000,000. His recent narrow escape from being shot in a San Francisco courtroom by Mrs. Emma Ashley, sister of a woman who was suing him for $75,000 for breach of promise, is fresh in the public mind. Altogether, Baldwin's adventures with women have knocked the largest holes in his estates. Baldwin is now seventy-four years old. He is a lean, tliin-faced man, witli silky white hair wliich stands out from under a broad-rim mod hat. lie lias the keenest of hazel eyes. llis florid face is smooth shaven except for a silvery mustache. He looked, even when at the acme of prosperity, like a man whose business successes were passed, but as if he might live twenty years longer. Baldwin has always been a hard worker and a man of few amusements. One of those was a quiet, moderate, game.,of poker. He could lose with astonishing eq annuity. There are those' who believe that Baldwin will yet be able to re-establis himself. He talks of speculating and developing quartz ledges in Klondyke next spring. It, is certain that not one of his,mining ventures has ever proved a failure. TENDERS FOR MATERIAL' LET. SUPERINTENDENT JOHNSON RESIGNS. H. J. Evans Secured the Contract For Supplying the Necessary Pipe for Waterworks. A meeting of the council was held on Wednesday for the purpose of considering tenders I'or supplying the city with materials necessary for the construction of the distribution system of the waterworks. All the members of the council were present except Alderman Dow. The by-law fixing the mayor's salary was finally passed. On motion of aldermau Fletcher, seconded by alderman Malone, Dr. La Bail was appointed medical health officer. The council decided to clear out the alleyway in block 03.

Thomas Robertson 6c Co., limited, of Montreal, was represented by Anson Porter. Drummond & McColl company, of Montreal, was represented by Frank Darling. The other bidders had no representatives on the ground, iivans 6c Co.'s bid was the lowest for pipe, and their tender was accepted. The Crane company tender was considered the best for valves, valve boxes, fire hydrants, etc., and it was accepted: but their representative refused to enter into a contract because his company would be unable to furnish valves fitted with the Converse lock-joint coupling. New tenders were called for, and on Thursday the following were opened. Fvans & Co. proposed furnishing valves made by the Kerr Fngine company, of Walkerville, Ontario, and''Drummond 6c Co., valves made by the Ludlow Valve Manufacturing company, of Troy, New York.

M. Woods of this city, secured a respite of two weeks for the condemned man. The application was made to the department of justice, and though the department refused to grant a respite or order a new trial, it referred Woods' counsel to the attorney-general of the province. Attorney-general Fberts granted Mr. Johnson leiive to apply for a new trial. Au application for a respite pending the. motion for anew trial, was made before the full court on Monday at Victoria. A respite of two weeks was granted, and Friday was set for the hearing of the argument for a new trial. This is based upon the ground that justice Walkem improperly admitted as evidence the statement of the murdered man, which had uot been made in accordance with the statute. If the application for a new trial is refused, Woods will be hanged on Wednesday, the 25th instant. The Canadian Pacific Dividends. The board of directors of the Canadian Pacific railway, on Monday, declared a dividend of two per centon the preferred, and one and a half per cent on the common stock for the half year ending June Wth last, payable October 1st. His Relations with the-Hall Mines were Not Pleasant and. He Terminates Them Paul Johnson, who constructed the Hall, Mines smelter, and has superintended* i in- same ever since the Hall Mine-, company commenced smelting, tendered his re.-ig-, nation to the company on Wednesday. The resignation, which eame-< l-l days notice with it, was cabled to the director-, in Loudon, aud was accepted by cable the following day. ��� ��������� The resignation of superintendent Johnson is largely due to the persistent interference on the part of the local manager with the smelting department. It is an open secret that at ho time have the relations between the smelter superinten- , dent and the commercial management .been-cfijj-dial, and for this reasen the resignation of superintendent Johnson did not come as a surprise'. It will remain to be seen just how the resignation will affect the operations of the Hall Mines. It maybe said that there are just a.s good men to be secured as the retiring superintendent, but it should be remembered that a smelting company can lose money very f����t if obliged to experiment with incapable men. While Johnson had charge of the smelter there was not the slightest lit ten, and though he will leave everything in going order there is no certainty that those who come after him will be able to keep thiugs going. Whatever the differences which may have existed between Superintendent Johnson and Manager Crosdaile, the departure of the former cannot but cause some anxiety mi ili�� part of the. shareholders. It ift reported that R. Hedley will be appointed to tha":vacancy caused by the resignation of Superintendent Johnson. MINES SHIPPING STEADILY. The Slocan Mines Continue Shipping Despite the Low Prices of Silver. The customs returns for the past week show no falling off in the mineral exports from the Slocan. Up to the present the, drop in the price of silver has not had any appreciable effect upon the output of these mines, though what effect it may yet have it is difficult to estimate. That silver can be produced .at a orofit in the Slocan at the present price goes without saying, but so long as there is any indication of an immediate advance the mine owners may- decide for business reasons to curtail their shipments as much as possible. The worst that can happen to the Slocau during the present low price of silver is the temporary cessation of work in the small properties, the owners which have uot the means to carry ou systematic development- without marketing the product of the mine. The exports" entered at the 'port of Nelson the past week were: bullion' and mattk. - Pounds Trail smelter..:... .... ��� liS.SoS Hall Mines smelter. Nelson, niiitte.. 1 IS,.'i:iG ORE.

In Sandon's contribution is included $500 from the concentrator people, $250 from George Hughes, and $100 from George Petty of the Monitor mine. Don't Know Where They are At. Judging from the reports of the speeches made at the public meeting held'at Iinss- land regarding the export-oii-orei|iK>stion. the formers of public opinion in thnt city have no use for Nelson. There i* this difference between Nelson and Ilosslnnd: All the people of Nelson know that their town is on the north side of the international boundary line: a large imijority of the people of Kossland are in doubt ns to which side their town is on.

Interest in Britain's Attitude , Towards Bi- Metallism. ��� Iii reply ol' sen-itor Wolcott respecting the participation of Great Britain in the bi-metallic congress, sir Michael Hicks- Beech said: '"It is due both to the importance of the subject and the manner in which it has been brought before the English ministry by representatives of Lhe two countries- that the proposals .-lionld be very carefully examined and considered; and this process will bo somewhat prolonged owing to the time necessarily occasioned in communicating with the government of India." The chancellor of the exchequer added he could not say with certainty how long these communications would take, but he hoped the cabinet would be ready to meet the envoys again early in October. While this postponment of England's decision delays the work, the American envoys do not consider it discouraging. On the contrary, they think that Great> Britain's interest in the question justifies them expecting tliat the Indian mints will be opened. They believe the Times iu opposing the re-opening of the Indian mints does not, represent Lhe government, but rather the city financial circles which are opposed to any chance. The report made to the government from the mints is understood to be favorable to silver. The headquarters of the commission will remain in London until October. Senator Wolcott may visit Austria in the meantime, and pave tho way for negotiations' with Lhe Austrian government. The com-, mission do not-wish to approach-r.heother governments until England's attitude is .-etrled. as her participation in the move-' menr, if secured, would aid in enlisting others. After receiving the English reply, he will go to Austria, ('ermaiiy aud Russia in that order. MADE $600,000 IN SIXTY DAYS. A New York Syndicate Turns a Trick in Wheat at Chicago. The nice little sum of six hundred thousand dollars has beeu taken out of the wheat market on the long side in the past sixty days by a syndicate of traders, who are working at Chicago through a young New Yorker, George B. French. The syndicate is mainly composed of wealthy^ Wall street men. A number of St. Louis traders and Joe Letter are also said to be interested. They started a bull campaign in wheat over sixty days ago by purchasing July. Their object was to help along the bull movement.-in. stocks and at the same time stimulate general prosperity for the country. . They commenced buying July wheat when prices were l'lto 14 cents lower than at present, knowing.that stocks were low the world over, and that conditions were favorable for an advance. They made no demonstration of their operations, but bought wheat whenever local-traders had a selling fit. The stocks kept on decreasing, making their position stronger everyday. When the shorts tried to cover they found that there was very little wheat to be had, and the syndicate quietly sat down on their holdings and let the short sellers get the prices up. They accumulated a line of over ;1,0()0,00() bushels, and the price was run up 15 cents. The July premium advanced at one time to (i cents for September. j They took especial pains to sell on the i sharp advances, and while there were many tailers who expected that they would hold the market still" up to the last, the French syndicate, quietly worked out of their holdings Friday, making a profit of about $-100,000. They replaced their line with September around 70 cents, and in the past three days have sold 7,000,000 bushels ab a profit that netted them $200,000 making their aggregate winnings $000,000. This is the largest amount ever taken out on the bull side of wheat with so little exertion in the same length of time, liven lid Partridge, who has played aline on the bear side up to I "5,000,000 bushels, never made a killing like that secured by the New Yorkers. The general revival in business that the the advance iu wheat has occasioned, combined with the shortage of 220,000,000 in the European wheat crop and the heavy purchase by local foreigners during the past .'30 day's, has contributed to make it easy sailing for the wheat bulls who stuck by their holdings. Foreigners have bought'about 25,000,000 bushels of American wheat at the various markets in the past .'-iO days. Such purchases, however, are not unusual, and they will be exported between now and November 1st. During the fall months it is customary to ex port from 12,000,000 to 15,000,000 a month, so that the purchases so far are only two mouths' good clearances. WHY THE GOLD COMES BACK. All the _olcl of Klondyke Would Not British Interest Charges. Salt Lake Tribune: The Toronto Mail is a very rabid and not very wise newspaper. It wants to keep the world and especially the men of the United States out of the Northwestern mines. Tt says: '.'Capital is what we want. There are stores of it in the Klodyke gravels. Let the gathering of it be limited to our own people, and the benefit will soon be seen in all kinds of enterprise. We should stop the movement of it in tons to the United States, from which, under the Diugley bill, none of it will find its way back to this country for the product of our industry." The Mail is not wUe for two reasons. In the first place it is so much of a trick to find and work gold mines than of old a premium was paid to any who made a discovery of that kind. Then the weather up north is, to say the least, a little- bracing, and getting gold there is not always a suap, so that the pleasure which such Americans as go there may have ought not to awaken any special envy in Canada. But there is another reason wliich ought to be conclusive with the Mail man. If he will look over the legislation of the United States for the past twenty-five years he will discover that the chief object, has been to transfer what gold this country produces' to English coffers. It is said that the Klondike gravels will probably yield $10,- 000,000 this year. Let the Mail comfort itself, for if enough Americans go there and the country can be found rich enough to enable them to multiply this year's product by fifteen, bhe whole amount will not pay the interest which England will collect from i his country next year. Is it not plain i liaf. if American miners dig the gold, old England will get it all the same?" Probably our mines since 18-10 have given up $2,000,000,000 in gold. But all we have to show for it is some $000,000,000, and nearly one-fourth of that we had to buy back ot England. The Mail should not worry. It will always be "British gold," except during the brief time that^ the miners will require to bring it down from the north. THE TURNER CABINET. There Are Difficulties in the Way of Securing Good Men. Victoria Times: "We are in a position to state," to quote the semi-official utterance of the World, that Hon. Mr. Turner is seriously contemplating an early reconstruction of his cabinet. Me has come to realize the danger of longer delay, being now fully convinced that either Mr. Martin or Col. Baker, and probably both, must retire from the ministry. Mr. Turner's difficulty will be to find any person, either iu. the house or outside of it, to join his administration. Mr. Martin may be turned out, but who is there to take his place':* Col. Baker maybe dismissed, but which of all the needy followers of the dying government is capable of administering the education office as successfully as the discredited minister? There are not two available men in the government ranks. The premier may look outside of the. ranks',of the faithful, as was the practice of his predecessors, but he will find little encouragement there. The political death to which he would invite an opponent would be as swift and as certain as that which awaits the incongruous combination now about to dissolve by reason of its inherent weakness and incompetency. No man who has a reputation to preserve or a political future to guard would entertain for a moment the bribe of office. Under the circumstances it will not be surprising if the premier fails in the attempt to improve the personnel of his administration. Aud he ought to fail, for the captain aud crew should go down together. . One Cause for the Silver Slump. "Speculations as to the causes of the drop in silver is rife, but in the absence of definite and impartial information from the money centers, no unanimity of opinion prevails. Many are of the opinion that it is due to speculation on the inside of the financial world, and that a most favorable reaction is certain to follow. These argue that the manipulators anticipate an outcome to the international monetary conference, favorable to silver, and that it is being beared at present in order to make it easier to load up for the advance that is to follow. According to this programme, it is not the dearth of commerce in the Asiatic countries that is curtailing silver purchases. Business, this class asserts, is as good in ludia, Tonquin and Japan this year as last, but instead of doing business with silver as a medium, England and France are using bills of exchange. This has logically had the effect of bringing out the hoarded silver of those nations, so that instead of India buying both American silver and wheat, she is this year paying for her wheat with silver'of her own. Under these conditions- it was inevitable that the price should decline. A New Cure for Drunks. Dr. Ered W. Evelyn, head of the St. Luke's hospital, has just made public the result of fifteen years' experiments, by which he claims to have found a certain cure, by the innocnlation of horse blood, for drunkenness, as well as for the transmission of hereditary taint of alcoholism. Dr. Evelyn began his investigations while a surgeon in the British army in Zululaud, and he selected a horse as a clean animal with plenty of blood. His cure is on the same lines as the vaccination remedy, and he asserts that it not only kills the craving for drink, but also relieves the children of a drunkard from hereditary taint. The substance, which he obtains by injecting alcohol into the blood of the horse, he calls equisine, and he thus introduces Pay it into the human system. What vaccine has been to smallpox, he says equisine will be to hereditary or acquired alcoholism. NOTICE. In (he matter of theaet respecting assignments lor the bcnoilt of creditors, B. C.

The craft, which i.s to be built for the Duustrmirs. will be capable of receiving twelve loaded ear< at a time. Jt will be l')0 feet long and will have a beam oi" -15 feet. Work is to be commenced very shortly, and the contract will be rapidly pushed to completion. The barge will be used for transporting coke for Kootenay smelters. Chief of police Woolverton had four residents' summoned to appear before magistrate Crease on Thursday, for breaches of the health by-law in allowing the accumulation oi." lilth upon their premises. As it was the first attempt made lo enforce, the by-law, the magistrate did not impose heavy penalties, fining each offender $2.7)0 and costs. Tliey were Agnes' West, lvwong Chung, Thomas Todd and K. li. 1'hair. A. J. Murks returned from the Slocan on Wednesday, where he was looking over the California mineral claini, owned by himself mid Messrs. Atkinson and Merino. There are live men at work upon the claim, and the owners expect to make a shipment of two cars .of ore shortly. .The ore will probably go to the Kaslo sampler. There are 10/�� sacks now ready i'or shipment. Just what the ore will average to the ton is a matter of conjecture, assays of the same having returned all the way from 180 to J -JO I ounces silver. A tunnel has been run in on the lead for 107) feet, and a shaft sunk for 18 feet. The .showing consists of 18 inches of clean ore. J. F. Iii vans, grand chancellor of the Knights of Pythias of .British Columbia, is expected in the city shortly for the purpose of organizing a lodge of the order in Nelson!, A lodge of Odd :Kellows was organized in Slocan City on Friday last. The following officers were elected : A. E. Teeter, noble grand; Paul Hauck, vice grand : T. B. Linton, recording secretary; William Meldrum, permanent secretary; William Clough, treasurer. The board of license commissioners on Thursday granted restaurant licenses to M. Duffy and Mahan 6c Kidd; laid over the application of 0. Lund i'or hotel license, and refused the application of Tliomas Moriarity for a saloon license. Capt. Troup took the steamer Lytton up the Columbia river to La Porte last week, making the first trip with a large steamer-since the days of the Forty-nine in 1SG0. After a tedious delay of the best part of the day in making through the canyon, the Lytton made it late in the afternoon. The chief difficulty was at the riffles at the lower end, where a ropo had to be put out twice, and once broke, causing an extra wait of about an hour and a half. In another column will be seen the advertisement of the C. 6c K. Railway and Navigation company respecting the land offered for sale by that company. This advertisement gives an emphatic denial to the rumor recently circulated to the effect that the company had withdrawn all its Nelson property from sale. TJie com pony holds the most desirable of the unsold business and residential property in the old government townsite and is offering the same upon reasonable terms. Dr. George H. Duncan, secretary of the provincial board of health, arrived in the city this week, accompanied by Clive Phillips Wolley. sanitary inspector for the province.
