PRICE FIYE CENTS W1NN1PECCER8' FIRST SPIN . - - - * '.x Various Sporting News. The Winnipeg crew went ont for a trial spin for the iirst time yesterday afternoon. Their paper shell had not been damaged in auy way by the railway journey, and though the lake was rather rough they had a satisfactory spin. They were loud in their praises of the course, and said that the water here is more lively than on the Red river. From the glimpse obtained of them yesterday they seemed a very fast, well balanced crew. The Vancouver men will havc to row i'asc if they are to * come ih- , ahead in the race next week, ami their advent is awaited with "great interest. The Winnipeggcrs, who, by the way, are meeting several old friends and are making many new ones, average about 105 pounds iu weight, and are in excellent condition." There are five men in the party: C. S. Riley, stroke, II. S. Hayes 3, T. E. Ham- ber 2, and F. A. Bole, bow. R. C. U iley accompanies the crew as spare man and mentor. They intend taking a spin early this morning about 0:80 or 7, and again in the afternoon tit 3 o'clock. The crew- is registered at the Phair. J. E. Halton, who has charge of tho decorating of the streets on Dominion Day, has.been seeing the merchants Avitli regard to private decorations. As usual Nelson business nien-,are rising to the occasion, and several have announced their intention of decorating very elaborately. This is especially1 important this year, as owing to the presence of crews from distant points and their supporters,- there is an excellent opportunity to show outsiders that Nelsou kuows how to do the right thing at-the right time. The Vancouver four which "will race here next Monday against the Winnipeggers is made up as follows: F. B. Springer, stroke; H. .Springer,-3; C.*>A'. Worship, 2; -and It. Scott; bow. They are said to be ) made his debut as stroke of a four, and won out at the summer regatta of the club in that year. T. E. Hamber is probably the oldest hand at the oar, having been a member of the club for some years. He is an all round athlete, being known in nearly every pure outdoor sport. Mr. Hayes is the biggest man of the four, and is generally considered to be built of the material used for the giants of old. He rowed with Marks' .senior crew against the James Bay four in 1898. The proposal to reorganize the Nelson Boat Club on a larger scale should not be allowed to drop out of sight. A good boat house is needed, while upstairs there should b9 bathrooms and sitting rooms and also���a ^verandah,,whence wthe club guests -can~=watch���r.the' races on regatta days. One shell, if not two, is also needed if Nelson is to do anything in the outside rowing world. After watching some of the crews at practice one of the Winnipeg cracks expressed the opinion that there is ample material here for one if not two first-class crews. All that is needed is money. This can be raised by issuing debentures, and there is no reason whatever. why it should not be done with success. It has been done iu every rowing town in Canada, including Winnipeg, Vancouver aud Victoria. It can also be done in Nelson. FRESH OUTBURST EXPECTED r.y/very fast combination. The - lacrosse club meeting announced for Monday night did not materialize owing to the failure of . members to attend. The . pastime will be a dead letter until after the demonstration at least, but a few of the enthusiasts have hopes that sufficient interest can be aroused after that date to hold the club together over the season. Thefire department racing team goes to Greenwood this week to compete.in the hub-and-hub race and the wet test. It was not definitely decided last night just how the team would run, but whatever the arrangement is the Greenwood and other teams in the competitions will have to travel close to the record. The home team is running ^astrarid'it-would-not'surprise^their^ admirers to see some new records established here on Dominion Day. Fred Lynch has been distinguishing himself in lacrosse at the Coast. In a recent game Westminster, with whom Lynch is playing, defeated Vancouver by six goals to none. During the game the following incident is reported: "In the fourth game Lynch of Westminster struck Matheson. Matheson retaliated with interest: The crowd rushed on the field, and there was considerable hard talk, and some .fighting. Matheson was ruled off for the match and Lynch for the game." The Winnipeg Free Press has the following to say of the oarsmen who have arrived in Nelson to row against the Vancouver four, which will leave the Coast on Friday: With "Con" Riley as.stroke, Fred Bole, bow, "Tommy" Hambler, 2, and II. Hayes 8, the Winnipeg Rowing Club has what promises to be a four well able to represent them on Kootenay lake at the Nelson water carnival on Monday, July 2nd.. C. If. Riley has risen from practically a novice of three years ago to one of the fastest and steadiest strokes in the club. His rowing has been, with the exception of a win at Rat Portage in 1898, purely local; but for all that the club have every confidence in his beiug able to set a pace before the James Bay and Vancouver crews that will do him no discredit. Mr. Bole is one of the youngest members of the club, but shows a cool head iu bow, and rows a clean, neat stroke. He rowed with Riley . in 1898, when Riley HOW TIEN TSIN WAS TAKEN Admiral Seymour Safe. CHuiroo, June 20.���The British and Americans entered Tien Tsin first, silencing the guns of the arsenal and breaking through the Chinese lines, the other foreign troops were close behind. The Russians lost four killed and 30 wounded. The losses of the other nationalities were small..- ' '- - Admiral Seymour's force is about ten miles from Tien Tsin. It is surrounded by Chinese troops and Boxers, and-hampered by- the presence of sick and wounded.

Ashcroft, June 25. ��� Recent heavy . rains and warm weather throughout Cariboo have swollen the Fraser river greater than at any- time last year. All the bridges in the Bridge River district and also on the road to Cache mine have been washed away. Roads and trails are impassable. The water is still rising. The Thompson river here is higher than ifc has been for two years. Lillooet, June 25.���The water has been rising steadily for some days past. The Fraser, river is higher than afc any time last year. All the bridges in this district have gone and the roads are under water. Most disastrous results will follow any further rainfall.

Juue 20.���The National Boer Relief Fund Association, of which Bourke Cockran was chairman and George W. Van Siclen secretary-treasurer, has concluded its operations and turned- over its neb collections to the Boer, envoys, Messrs.

The envoys will sail for Havre on the steamer L'Aquifc- aine, Thursday June 28. Li's Proclamation. London, June 27. ���The Hong Kong correspondent of the Times wires Monday: "Li Hung Chang officially announces that the presence of foreign troops at the capital is due to the Boxers, and he urges all sections of the commnnity in Canton to be ready when the occasion arises to exterminate the enemies of the country. Numerous ruffians are entering the British territory." Southern Provinces Affected. London, June 27.���3:45 a.m.���A. fresh phase of the situation in China is the probability of an immediate outbreak in the great southern provincial centres. The populace there is daily assuming a more hostile attitude toward foreigners, and the latter perceive symptoms of a general rising, especially at Nankin, where, according to a dispatch to the Daily .Express dated yesterday, "Kang Wu, one of the worst enemies of the foreigners, has arrived from the grand .canal, armed with orders from the ^empress to "deal with the southern provinces. The friendly attitude of viceroy Liu Kung Cih toward foreigners has brought him into disgrace with prince Tuang, president of the Tsung Li Yamen." The unrest at Canton is described by a dispatch from that city to the Daily Telegraph, dated Monday via Hong Kong, yesterday: "Ifc is feared that we are on the eve of a scene of bloodshed and anarchy in the two Quangs only paralleled during the Tae Ping rebellion. The signs of a murderous. uprising are so manifest that wealthy Chinese, are hurrying from Canton and the vicinity, taking their wives, families and valuables with'them." Li Hung Chang Has been again peremptorily ordered to Pekin. His enemies declare that they will mur-* der him before he can reach there. His presence alone restrains the revolutionary elements here. His departure will let loose the "black flags" and "red girdles." Knowing this, Li's trusted officers are sending their families to Hong Kong. The viceroy himself treats Americans well in this crisis. He says that they alone'want no territory, and he "places himself largely, almost unreservedly, in their hands. At an important conference today he reiterated this statement. "All the "missionaries have been notified' of their ^'imminent, peril _through confidential 'runner's. ' They are leaving Canton hurriedly, and-only, a few are.now there. Commander McLean of the United States steamship Don Quian Austrian is the first here to protect foreign interests - He is'! capable and energetic and is . reinforced by H.M.S. -Redpole. :Two hundred foreign 'residents afc Shamen are armed.

Two Jesuit fathers and 100 =nativeX!hristians=haye=been=mnr^ dered in ������ the southern part of the province of "Chi Li. The Chinese military authorities have been discovered recruiting at Shanghai inside the foreign settlements and some agents have been arrested in the act of constructing entrenchments around the European concessions. A Chinaman connected with the war purchases for the Chinese government in Europe," who was interviewed by the Daily Express, says that China has immense quantities of arms and ammunition and will "stagger humanity" if driven to defend herself. 18 Krupps and 150 Maxims. Their supply of ammunition is practically inexhaustible. It has been mainly supplied by a German firm. Fully three-fourths of the Chinese forces are badly drilled, wholly undisciplined and quite .unfamiliar with modern weapons. Another Shanghai dispatch says: "Li Ping Heng, former governor of Shang Tung, who is intensely anti-foreign, has gone to the Kiang Kin; forts on the Yang Tse. He has declared his intention of resisting the landing of British forces in that region." PROCRESS OF THE BRITISH Some Minor Successes. - London, June 26.���The"'following dispatch has beeu "i'eceiyed at the war office from lord Roberts : "Pretoria Presidency, Juue 25. ���Clements successfully engaged a force of Boers yesterday near Winburg, where he had gone to pick up supplies and some heavy guns preparatory to acting in- combination with columns from Lindley, Heilbron . and Heidelberg. He drove the enemy north" of Sandspruit, wifch loss. No casualties are reported.. ��� ��� "Ian Hamilton reports that Heidelberg is the most English town he has yet seen. The inhabitants gave him a great reception. The streets were crowded and decorated with bunting. Captain Valentine hoisted the Union Jack, in the market, square amidst the cheers of the populace and the British, Australian and other colonial troops. 'God Save the Queen', was "sung, the crowds heartily joining in. "The poor loyalists have had a rough time lately. Hutton's mounted infantry skirmished with the Boers yesterday a few miles southeast of Pretoria. Captain Anley is reported to have managed the little business very well. Lieutenant Cryspin and one of the Northumberland Fusileers ~ were wounded." - '---..".- .' ; ARMY TO BE SENT TO CHINA Decision at Washington. ~ Washington, June 20.���The purpose of the government to place ah adequate military force in China was made clear today when orders were issued to brigadier general Adam Chaffee to take command of . the forces in China, and to proceed at once to assume his new duties. More significant probably than the assignment itself was the wording of the formal orders to general Chaffee issued late in the day by acting secretary of war Meiklejohn, directing him "to take command of the troops ordered to China, and to proceed to Pekin by ,way of San Francisco and Taku accompanied by' his aides." It had been "expected the military forces would ,-be concentrated at Chefoo or some other convenient base bufc the direction to proceed to Pekin indicates a firm.determination on the part of the government authorities to have a strong military force at the seat of the Chinese government. The announcement of general Chaffee's assignment and the orders to proceed to Pekin came after the state department had declined to accede to a second proposition from great viceroys of China that Belief of Kumassi Near. London, June 20.���The government has received dispatches from Ashanti indicating that the relief of Kumassi should be accomplished this week. About 650? men of the British Central African national forces sailed'June 22nd for Ashanti, where they will be employed to quell the uprising. This is the first time that the British Central Africa has been called upon to partake in the responsibilities of the empire. _��������� Immense Chinese Army. London, June 20.���General Ma's army, says a correspondent at Shan Hai Kan, consisting of 45,000 men, left a week ago for Pekin, and general Sung Chiugs* troops, numbering 25,000, leffc for the same place on June 15th. A careful estimate of the number and armament of the Chinese troops around Pekin puts the total at 360,000, and it is calculated that these troops possess 22 seven-centimetre Creusofc guns, . - Missionaries Are Armed. - - . .,PmtApE.ni��jHiAv*;,.Pa.,' June 20.��� Div Thomas Coltman,r.of' Jenki'n- town, has jusfc received a letter dated May 29, from his sister, Mrs. Oliver H. Clifford, who, with her husband, is connected with the Presbyterian mission at Tien Tsin, China. Since the letter was written events of grave importance have transpired in Tien Tsin, and Dr. Colfcman expresses fears for the safety of his sister and her husband, and that of his father and mother who sailed some time ago to visit their daughter. Mrs. Clifford's letter reads as follows: "We sleep now with our firearms close. Oliver and I have a brace ot pistols under our heads. I always have two valises,packed. The entire foreign population anxiously waits for the first sign of an uprising. Last Monday morning when the^people awoke in-the-city���huge, placards were found posted on the walls and fences, reading as follows: 'The heavens are displeased at the presence of - the foreign dogs in China, the gods have decreed that there shall be no more rain in the whole kingdom until they are all expelled.' " A Hard Bill to Collect. Washington, June 26.���As to the report from Constantinople that the American charge d'affaires, Mr. Giiscom, has presented another demand for the settlement of the American claims, it can be stated on high authority that the United States government is steadily pressing for a definite and final settlement, and is losing no opportunity to remind the Turkish authorities of the unsatisfactory and indefinite nature of the present situation. Just beyond this pressure there has been no imperative action taken, nor has ifc been definitely determined what course will be adopted if the temporizing of Turkish diplomacy is carried to the point of actual failure to meet the American demands. _________________________ Yaquis Leave the Warpath. Tucson, Ariz., June 26.���William Gill of Philadelphia, who is here from a prospecting trip iu Mexico, says the Indians have nearly all abandoned the warpath. Several hundred are still in the mountains and make an occasional descent on isolated ranches. Near Tomachio on Friday last a large party raided a ranch and killed two cowboys, wounded several others and one woman. They were driven off after a hard fight. six foreign troops be kept out of China until Li Hung Chang reaches Pekin. In formal manner, with the' signatures of the six viceroys representing the greater part of' the empire, minister Wu repeated today his plea of yesterday that the foreign troops be kept out of the country. Secretary Hay laid the formal request of the viceroys before the cabinet meeting, but there was no disposition to vary from the president's determination, already made known by secretary Hay to the Chinese minister,' to send the United States forces to such points as were menaced and where our officials, and citizens were in danger. While the viceroys spoke for their provinces, they could not speak for Pekiu,, "and ifc is to Pekin that the officials, most-..anxiously, look. Minister Conger is still silent and the latest advices have shown that little reliance-can be placed on the dispatches from ��� Shanghai saying the ministers and legations at Pekin are safe. For this reason the orders to general Chaffee to proceed to Pekiu took on an added meaning. The department today accepted the services of an officer on the retired list under authority conferred by a -recent act of congress^ The officer "is lieutenant J. G. Townley, retired, who is ordered to sail on the steamer leaving San Francisco Juls 10th. It is. expected that many other retired officers will be called back to active service if the emergency becomes pressing. Passed Through Tien Tsin. stream to the surface. In turning this stream so that ifc would not run down the upraise good looking dirt was uncovered and several pans were washed. Coarse gold was found and as high as $60 to the pan were taken out. The stream crosscuts the Lone Star vein which is an extension of the famous Reco vein, from which so much rich gold was taken out a few years ago. The presumption is that the creek bed down from the vein is rich placer ground and the ground will be prospected immediately. American General in China. Washington, June 26.���General Chaffee was in conference at the war office today with the adjutant general and the heads of various departments with a view to his future needs in the conduct of the military campaign in China. It is expected that he will establish his headquarters at Chefoo about August 1st afc the latest and he will not have less that 5000 men at his command, the majority of whom will be drawn from the Philippines. Prisoners of the Boers. New York, June 20.���The Tribune's London correspondent cables: The Boers have 1350 prisoners on the Delagoa Bay line, and probably about 800 in the Orange River Colony, which were taken at the Rhenoster river. Lord "Leitrim and Ennis Moore have been taken north with other members of the millionaires' battalion. London, June 26.���The parliamentary secretary of the foreign office, William St. J. Broderick, in reply to a question said: "We have no information from the legations or admiral Seymour's force from Tien Tsin. Our last information from the officers in charge at Wei Hai Wei is that 3000 of the force for the relief of Tien Tsin was encamped within nine miles of Tien Tsin on the eveniug of June 23rd. From private credible sources we are informed that the relief force entered Tien Tsin and marched north, and the legations were not harmed. We hope this is true." Cape Colony Rebellion Over. London, June 20.���11:25 p.m.��� The war office has received the following dispatch from lord Roberts: "Pretoria, Presidency, June 26.��� Sir Charles Warren reports that the rebellion in Cape Colony north of the Orange riyer is now over. The lasfc formidable body under commandant De Villiers surrendered on June 20th, consisting of about 220 men, 280 horses, 18 wagons, 200 rifles and 100,000 rounds of ammunition. Colonel Baden- Powell reports that pacification is going on satisfactorily in.the Rust- enberg district." Placer on Myers Creek. Greenwood, June 26.���R. M.

McEntire says that the discovery was made while an upraise for air was being run from tho Review tunnel through the bed of a small OUERRILLAS GIVE TROUBLE South African War News. London, June 27.���3:20 a.m.���The Boer commandoes in the eastern part of the Orange river colony appear to have been broken up by their leaders for the time into small parties that harrass the large columns of the British, incessantly cutting [off scouts, sniping pickets and making a. show of force here and there. Commandant Christian Dewet, general Steyn's principal commander i.s the genius of these guerrilla operations.- He .is the hero of the'Boers in these*"last days .of hostilities. Lord - Roberts' columns are steadily contracting the area of their advance. , Transvaal officials, who were interviewed yesterday, at Machadorp by a correspondent of the Daily Express asserted an intention to hold oufc to the last. President Kruger will probably retire to Watervalender or Nelspruit. His physician thinks his condition of health will not allow him to go to the high veldt. The British prisoners at Nooit Gedacht are now comfortable. Large quantities of food and blankets have been forwarded to them, and their enclosure is lighted by electricity.

London, June 20.���Bishop Doane of Albany goes to Dublin tomorrow, Previous to sailing for home he will receive the honorary degree of D. D. from Trinity College, which is regarded as even a higher distinction than similar honors from Oxford and Cambridge, which he has already received. With Gold From Alaska.

She brought news thafc the pa rty searching Date island for Dr. Hickman returned without meeting with success. CLEVER SPANISH SWINDLE Victims Are Many. Washington, June 26.���Dwight Reed, United States vice-consul at Madrid, Spain, has brought to the attention of the state department an ingenious swindle which has been attempted upon various persons in this country by certain' -Spanish schemers. The consul, transmits a sample letter which ,was used in the attempt to defraud.- It was sent to H. Stenl of Buffalo, and was signed Louis 0 Samper Stenl, and in it the writer claims and explains a close relationship with the recipient of the letter. "Louis Samper -Sfcenl" , recites a long series of untoward happenings and complications which only financial aid can.mend. He "has come into possession of some $050,000, confessedly an embezzlement from the Spanish government, but to insure his money against seizure by the officials, has ' deposited it in a Mexican bank, payable by check accompanied by a certain countersign arranged by himself'and the bank. Certain legal steps have been against him, aud in lieu' of money to defray his part of the proceedings, he has been put in prison,*, and his personal effects, in-, eluding a valise in which reposes the "countersigned" check ' for his fortune, are about to be; sold at auction. Iu return for timely financial aid for his ."blood relation," he promises a quarter of , his fortune, his daughter's share of the money during her minority, -' and his everlasting gratitude. His daughter is at a convent, and the prior is the sole other j)ossessor..of his secret. He asks that a reply be sent to Teodoro Runez, Callo de Swivela, Chamberi, Madrid. The latter is a nephew of fche prior, but- is ignorant of the existence of the - check, and -the writer, therefore, --��� cautions that the answer be sent in an envelope enclosed within1 one * addressed to Runez. . Similar communications have -.' been sent all over the. United .. States, the writer in most cases assuming the same name as the person addressed. During the past year, consul Reed says, parties have' come-f rom Boston .and .New . York all the way to Madrid, only , to find themselves victimized. The consul has been besieged of late by inquiries by the recipients of letters asking some information about the signers of the communications.* He has endeavored to answer them all, but in view of the growth of the swindlers' overtures he finds the task becoming great. Steps probably will be taken to hunt down the offenders and mete out proper punishment. . Supplementary Estimates.

The Colonist thinks a strict interpretation of the Constitution Act renders^ tliis.course necessary*. It seems that iu the estimatesof 1899 there was an allowance of $1000 voted for the premier, and when Mr. Dunsmuir accepted the responsibility of forming a ministry, there was an unclaimed balance of $30, which in some manner his predecessor had overlooked. The new election is not due to the premier's anxiety to secure the $30, but it is contended that he accepted an oflice for which an allowance had been voted and this in itself required that he should, go back to his constituents for their endorsation: There.may be some truth in, the statement that W. A. Clark and P. Aug.-Heinze .were playing for political' effect when they consented to. put the eight-hour shift into force in their'mines, but .whether this be so or not, there is now little doubt but that the eight-hour shift will be generally recognized throughout the state of Montana. Even prop: erties which are in litigation are now operated upon the eight- hour basis, the ..applications of the receivers for permission to adopt the eight-hour system being freely granted by the courts. In this connection it is worthy of passing .notice that, in their ..affidavits the receivers ...state that ^hdligh the hours of labor arc redneed, the results are jjractically the same as under the nine-hour system, owing to the better condition of the men employed. " Just now it would be difficult for Joseph Martin to establish his campaign story, that while he was fighting the corporations in British Columbia sir Wilfrid's approval followed him. If. the press reports are to be believed, sir Wilfrid places the dismissal of the Semlin government as a secondary offense to his honor's choice of Joseph Martin as premier. The developed properties in the gold belt south of Nelson will establish a record in gold production this summer. Before the close of the summer they should be producing monthly gold to the value of $75,000. The Athabasca company is steadily increasing its output ; the Poorman is now in such shape* that a monthly output of $22,500 is figured on for the near future; the development of the Granite property is fulfilling all expectations of the company operating it, not only as to values but also in the matter of charges; then, too, the Venus property may also be regarded as having permanently entered upon the ! producing list. When to this list of working mines may be added the properties of the Hall Mines, Nelson will be a very busy camp indeed. No date has yet been set for the commencement of operations by the reorganized Hall Mines company, but the work of reconstruction is going steadily forward. Theouteomewillbeacompany with a working capital of ��50,000 whicli judiciously handled will no doubt give satisfactory returns to the British shareholders. less than seven years ago, but since that time even conservative Toronto has taken up the consideration of government by commissioners, and the matter is beiug gravely discussed as to whether it would not be advantageous for the city to have a board of salaried commissioners as executive officers in preference to the present aldermanic committees. -Thomas R. McTnnes, who for several years filled the office of lieu tenant-governor of British Columbia, is now out of public life, and with him goes the young man who has acted as his father's private secretary and cabinet maker. The passing of the Mclnnes will be noted ���with pleasure by the people of this province, and their satisfaction thereat will be so complete that the ten-column protest of the dismissed official will be passed over in silence. Greenwood Jail Broken. \.Chief McLaren today mourns the Ii*%3*of fotu'" guests who "were sojourning at the "city lock-up, says the Greenwood Times, Two of them icame from Camp McKinney at the solicitation of the provincial government. They were known as P. Murphy and Blwood. They were charged with plundering the St. Louis hotel and were here.awaitiug speeding trial. The other two were O'Brien and Hamilton, two boys charged with taking cigars from Hr A. King" &'-Co. They were guests of the city at a late hour last night, but this morning about five o'clock, when officer McKenzie went to the city hall to bid them good morning he found nothing but empty cells. The prisoners had received some assistance from the outside, as a brace and bit had been used to bore their way out through the cell. The four are probably across' in United States territory by this time. Officers Elected. The Bricklayers' and Masons' International Union No. 3, at an adjourned meeting held on Monday evening, elected the following officers for the ensuing term; J. W. Etcher, president; J. J. Purcell, vice-president; Joe Clark, recording and corresponding secretary; William Kempling, financial secretary; John Anderson, doorkeeper; George Adamson, treasurer; J. Anderson, Johu Collin, George Adamson, trustees; J. W. Etcher, Joe Clark and John Collin, delegates to the Trades and Labor Council. payment of such wages as arc generally accepted as current in each trade for competent workmen in the district where the work is carried out; aud thatPvhis house cordially concurs in such policy, and deems it the duty of tho government to take immediate steps to give effect thereto. It is hereby declared that the work to which the foregoing shall apply includes not only work undertaken by the government itself but also all works aided by the government or Dominion public funds." The opposition termed this an election move aud maintained that the government would never act on the resolution. That the opposite is the case is proven by Mr. McDouogliue's appointment and his^enteriug on his duties. The protection of the workingman is the aim of the resolution and the government's action in his interests ests will find ready commendation. The plan is that before a public works contract is entered into, Mr. O'Donoghue will visit the section of country where the��� FRESH AND SALT MEATS, P BURNS &��� CO.-Bakor street, Nelson, ��� wholesalo dealers in fresh and cured meats.

Those who live in glass houses should not throw, stones. , The Miner only recently defended an attempt ,of the Conservatives in Nelson," to disfranchise nearly GOO voters, whicli course resulted iu failure, and a good trouncing of its pet candidate at the polls. Boulder Creek Mines. The Outcrop. P. M. Chadbourn arrived here from Nelson on Friday's boat. He -will commence work at once on the Black Prince group,' which is situated opposite the Delos group on Boulder creek, and has already made arrangements with John Me-, Latchie, P. L. S., to have the group surveyed. To the Outcrop reporter lie said that he would put a gang of men at work in the course of a few. days sinking a shaft. The Black Prince is a very promising property and already has a tunnel i n about 45 feet, showing a vein varying from _\\ to three feet in width. The ore is bornite copper, (���ommonly spoken of as red copper, and is said to be the prettiest look-, ing rock yet discovered in British Columbia, from whicli assay returns show 15 to 20 per cent copper. Mr. Chadbourn has had several good offers for this property, but refused them all, as he has THE BANK OF BRITISH COLUMBIA NELSON Is now prepared to issue Drafts and Letters of Credit on Skaguay, U. S., Atlin, B. C, and Dawson City, N. W. T. every confidence in the group making a paying mine and will thoroughly develop it. Mr. '.Chadbourn'' is also the fortunate owner of the'Iron Horse, Elkhorn, Matterhorn, Head Light and King Solomon claims, on which he "intends to start work in the near future. There has been very little work done on these claims, but there is a. splendid showing. The ledge being a large one crops out boldly, showing grey copper and galena. Good values in gold and silver have been obtained. A survey will be made at once of these claims aud applica.tion_made_for_ crown grants. Work would be progressing now, but for the want of a good trail. However, Mr. Chadbourn has been informed by the Gold Commissioner that a trail will be constructed so soon as the first money is available. The Referendum in Switzerland. In Switzerland itself "there has ���just been a particular interesting test of the referendum. By a united vote, Avhich only lacked one of being unanimous, the two chambers of the Swiss parliament some time since passed a measure providing for state insurance. The principle of the measure was admirable, but the methods to be employed were found to be complicated, bureaucratic, illiberal, and unjust. Accordingly, in January last a sufficient number of voters demanded a referendum of the measure to the will of all the people. The intervening months, were passed in an educational campaign, and the measure has just been rejected by a vast maj ority. Popular representatives of this majority are now drafting a new measure, providing for insurance for soldiers against accidents and. illness, old .age, and invalidism. Inspecting Militia Camps. The militia camps of this year will, for the first time in the history of the country, be inspected by a Canadian officer, colonel Aylmer. Speaking on this subject a contemporary very pertinently remarks: "An officer of many years' experience with the Canadian militia, Imperial Bank of Ganada HEAD OFFICE. TORONTO. Capital Authorized Capital Paid up Rest -$2,500,000 $2,468,603 $1,700,000 D. R. Wilkle, General Manager. E. Hay, Inspector. Nelson Branch���Burns Block, 221: Baker Street J. M. LAY, Manager. colonel Aylmer, will be able to understand many vexatious little things and adverse circumstances with which our force has to contend. ; Herein lies the great trouble which we experience with imperial oflicers; They do not sufficiently understand us. At least this has been the case, in the past. Probably late experiences may tend to remove this. > Another noticeable incident in connection with the camps is the fact that the brigadiers have all been officers of our local forces either now serving or on-the-reserve-of-ofneers.��������� Big Returns on Delphine Ore. Canterbury Outcrop. The returns for the two car loads of ore recently shipped to the Trail smelter from the Delphine mine, on Toby creek, have been received by Messrs. Kimpton and Hammond, accompanied by a cheque for $2,- 894.45. The smelter give total assays per ton of $149.02. The Delphine was staked in the year 1898 by Messrs. Stark and Harrison, who sold a one-third interest to R. A. Kimpton. The /,,three partners worked the property to some extent last year and made a shipment of two cars of ore, which netted $92 per ton. In April of this year Stark and Harrison sold their-remaining two-third interests to H. C. Hammond of Toronto. The amount realized has not been made public, ��� but it is generally believed to be in the neighborhood of $35,000. DOMINION DAY AT THE There has been very little work done.ou.the property since the last sale, but it may reasonably be expected that the encouragement received from this last..shipment will suffice to make the working of the miue continuous. ' Canadian Stocks Stable.

The last report from Revelstoke was to the effect that the river was rising two inches there every hour. The level is now near the danger poiut at Robson.and tha situation may become serious within the next few days. The CanadaJBook & Drug Company has the distinction of being the first business house to decorate foi'ctbe demonstration. Yesterday afternoon their* awnings were ornamented with great Union Jacks. William B. Hudson, late foreman afc the Athabasca mine, left yesterday for Republic. Mr. Hudson is taking up his residence permanently across the border much to the regret of Nelson friends, a party of whom saw him off at the traiu yesterday. The C. P. R. steamers' logs report an unusually heavy blow on the lake during Monday night. The storm was the heaviest experience for five or six years. A hitch has arisen over the dancing pavilion at Lakeside park. TJie local government officials have concluded that the enterprise comes under the heading of dancehouses and is therefore liable for a $100 license fee. Professor Werner objects to the classification and to the license, and the matter is still open. The city engineer, has found by measurements that the trolley wires of the tramway company are" not more than sixteen feet above the surface. Parties who intend taking part in the trades procession during the Dominion Day celebration should make a note of this, and see that their floats are not more than fifteen feefc high. The Municipal band and the demonstration, committee are nofc pulling well together and it is extremely probable that the band will nofc play during the celebration. The committee appropriated $100 to pay the baud for playing two days, but the musicians refused to parade under $150. Lasfc year the band received $175 and the bandsmen object to such a radical reduction in their remuneration. John Boyd, an employee of the Columbia Lumber Company at Nakusp, was brought to the general hospital yesterday suffering from a badly smashed hand, fche result of an accident while coupling cars. The injured hand was dressed, and will be saved with the exception of one finger which was so badly mangled as to render amputation necessary. '���/ The officer commanding the Nelson rifle company has received a communication from the district T5fficWs=^t1ftih^^tliair==tlie Rocky- Mountain Rangers would be inspected within the next few weeks and asking when the company will be ready for the ordeal. An effort will be made to have the inspection postponed until the fall as a number of the members of the Nelson and other companies are engaged in occupations which take them oufc of town during the slimmer months. The conveyance of the streets required from the city by the C. P. ft. for the enlargement of their depot facilities was completed yesterday when mayor Houston affixed his official signature to the legal documents. The city receives a 40-acre plot lor park purposes and a seven- year lease of the recreation grounds. The members of the football club will meet tonight in the Waverley hotel at ') o'clock to make final arrangements for the forthcoming match with Kaslo. All deeds and leases between the city and the Canadian Pacific Railway Company have been signed and delivered, and the work that is to make Nelson the main divisional point on the Canadian Pacific's system in British Columbia is to be commenced at once. Captain Blancliard, late adjutant of the Fifth regiment, Victoria, who died of his wounds in South South Africa, was a brother of Mrs. White, wife, of Rev. G. J. C. White, M. A., pastor of the Nelson Baptist church. When the first Canadian contingent left for the front Rev. and Mrs. White went to Quebec to bid farewell to their brother. The news of captain Blanchard's death- comes as a terrible blow, and the sympathy of citizens generally will be extended to them in their sad bereavement. The deceased officer was a popular and capable soldier. A mechanic's Hen was filed yesterday by B. F. Nesbitt against the Sophie mineral claim, owned by the Simcoe Mining & Development Company. The. claim is for wages amounting to $482. J. B. McGhie. has received the contract for the erection of a $1300 residence for engineer R. Peebles on Baker street near the corner of Railway streefc. .' A Slocan Junction man will be arraigned in the provincial police court today for selling venison out of season. Within the next two or three days the C. P. R. engineering department will commence the work of diverting " Cottonwood creek. This will be done by digging a trench 'below the bluff which bounds the flats and turning the creek into the new channel. About 30 men will be 'employed oh the* work. ���- :' "' ���'��� . Train'. Service . Changed. - The extreme high water" in "the Columbia river has washed away part of the track between- Arrowhead and Revelstoke,'aud 'this cannot be repaired for. about a fortnight.
