The owners last year went to a. great deal of expense, and labor and built, a pack trail from the ;n ain creek to the claim, and also erected a cabin. * Merely surface Avork has as yet been attempted, but this lias been sufficient to demonstrate the continuity _ of tlie property.

' __ Th^A\^T'lfOTYtire^J^^l^t^in0i:is weel Associated I'resw. AVashington, May II.���The statement made in the press of London and Canada, respecting the reasons for the recent failure of the negotiations between tlie United States and Canada have occasioned much surprise in official circles in Washington. These .statements assume that the Canadians made all the offers of concessions, the United States commissioners standing by existing conditions. The facts as understood here are directly contrary to this. There are certain facts tending to 'contradict, the statements of the British press, Avhicli tlio Associated Press is iioav able to announce. Take the question of trade Avith Canada for example. It is positively known that, the Americans offered absolute free trade iii'mineral products, an enlargement of the free list of forest products, and an important concession in the duty on lumber aud most farm products. It is also known that they offered liberal terms for the adjustment of tlie Behring sea question, and offered an amicable method for the adjustment of the boundary question. They yielded to Canada's A'ieAvs in respect to the alien labor legislation and to the lake fisheries, and offered reciprocal privileges. Indeed it is avcII founded that nearly every offer of concession proceeded from tlie side of the United States.

The members of the city council sp.-nt four and a half hours yesterday iu discussing the provisions of the tramway by-law. The by-law a.s originally., drawn fills nine pages of type-written foolscap, and to this the city solicitor had five type-written pages of amendments. The council went into committee'on the bylaw with alderman Beer in the chair. The first wrangle came over the first enacting section of the by-law, which as ii; was drawn give the company the power to run the tramway upon Avhat- ever streets'it pleased. The objection to this was that by the exercise of its option hi this respect the tramway company could put the corporation to a great deal of expense in fixing up streets which otherwise Avould not require immediate expenditure upon them. The section was finally agreed to, but a rider was inserted at the suggestion ofthe city solicitor Avhicli recited that the applicants before entering upon any. street to construct any line of raihvay should make application to the city for permission so to do, naming the street or streets across or along Avhieh they desire to operate their Avorks, and before in any. way proceeding Avith the work shall receive the approA-al of the city couucil. It .was ��� further proAdded that construction could not be commenced until'the plan of the' same had been approved by the city engineer, and provided such approval ofthe city coi in cil for the' .laying of tracks was not followed up by construction Avithin tAvelve months the approval should have no force or effect. The provision in the by-laAV with respect to the service to be given by the. company sets out that the trannvay' should bo operated daily, but it Avas amended so that should the tramway cease to be operated at any time for a period of three months iu any oiie year the company should lose all priA'ileges conferred by the by-laAv, sa\'e in certain contingencies. .The council inserted another amendment Avith respect to fares by providing that workingmen should be permitted to purchase twenty fares for one dollar, .���.snr-h fares to be used only before eight o'clock in the morning.and between six and half-past seven O'clock in the eA-en- ing. The solicitors,for the tramway company agreed to this provided the tickets could only be demanded at the company's offices, and by bona hde Avorkiiigmoii, An attempt,was also made to insert a proA'ision that Avhen bhe city reaches a population of 12.000 that a uniform fare of five cents should bo charged, Avith a fare of 21 cents for school children. /This Avas thrown out and an effort Avas then made to secure eight tickets for twenty- five cents 'for school children, but this Avas ,also objected to and dropped, the couucil being content to modify the clause so that the company should not charge more than twenty-five cents for six school children's fares. The section with respect to the service to bo given by the company was amplified by a provision to the effect that the company should commence its service at (5.30 o'clock in the morning and continue till If. o'clock iii the ^enhfg; AVlten_t3ie_ eil could refuse permission to the tramway company to cross any bridge except upon terms. Accordingly, alderman Fletcher moved, seconded by alderman .McKillop, that the proposed amendment be struck oui. The city solicitor had another amendment which provided for the extension of the tramway system. It provided that whenever there were :100 residents above the age of five years within a quarter-mile area and one-eighth of a mile distant from any tramway line, the company should be prepared to construct such extension Avithin twelve ' months from notice so to do. This means that whenever there are 500 such residents in'four continuous blocks on either side of the proposed extension, who are two blocks away from the nearest trauiAvay line they may demand and secure an extension. The city solicitor's proposed' amend: ment that the tramway company post a guarantee of $5000 as security against any damage to the public streets in the eArent of the company not- completing its construction work, Avas further amended. The amount of the security Avas cut doAvn to $2000 upon the understanding that only so much should be forfeited as represented the damage done to the city's streets. In return for this guarantee the council gaA**e the company a'further extension of tAvo months in Avhieh to commence operations after the final passage of the bylaAvi This gives the company four-months in 'which to commence. Sweeping amendments Avere made to the sections of, the bylaw dealing..With' the mannerju Avhicli the "tramway shall be laid upon ungraded streets, and as the matter stands the company is made subject to the ruling of the city engineer. What he says must go or the company may take an appeal as provided-for. The same disposition was made Avith respect to the clearing and ditching to be done upon unopened streets. The amount of work to be done at the joint expense of the com2mny and tlie corporation is also left to the city engineer. The council reported the byhnv complete, Avith amendments, and the same Avill come up for its final reading today. Dead. Horse Racer and Banker AssOelatccl Pre*".

TSp^latioTFof"tlie city reaches 12,000 the service shall be commenced at 0 o'clock in the morning' and be maintained at such intervals as .the city council may de- terinine till 11 o'clock in the evening. When the section gOArern.ing the com- lUeneement of operation by the company was reached an attempt Avas made to insert a provision thatthe 'tramway coin* pan-y should at its own expense, protect, strengthen and maintain all bjidges over which their tram cars were'operated. This was' resented by the tramway promoters,; who assuf'ed the coiiiK-il that iii fche event of such a provision being inserted the tramway scheme would bo dropped. AV, A. Mac-donald. Aviio had charge of the by-law for the promoters, said that his clients did not consider that it was unreasonable to ask the city to put its bridges in such a state as would poiv mit the running of cars over them. Alderman, Fletcher expressed tlie opinion that it was idle to ask tlie city council to build bridges for the accommodation of tlie tramway company. Bridges which Avere equal to all requirements would lnUre to be strengthened merely to accommodate tlie proposed tra.ni way company if such an arrangement were consented to. F. ~W. Peters, in explanation, said that if the period was not too long the tramway company would agree to be content with crossing the tliree bridges over Ward creek, and Avould agree that the Baker street bridge only would be crossed for the next two years. The promoters and the solicitors with- droAV to consider this proposal, and Avhile they Avere absent the members of the council came to. the conclusion that the city's interests, Avould. be -protected, by the provision:Avhieh requires the consciit of the council before any street can be entered upon.

Bishop Hawley of St. Johns, NeAvfound- land, in an interview given to the press today said : The sentiment of NeAvfouudland is more in favor of annexation to the United States than of confederation with the Dominion of Canada. This feeling has been accentuated by the fact that the country has been recently betrayed and drawn into a most shameful raihvay contract by a Canadian sj'iuli- cate and local politicians.* It amounts to a virtual swindling of the country out of a $13,000,000 railway and all our coal, minerals, forest and agricultural lands. A desperate fight for our freedom is now imminent. The local parliament opens today, and it is believed the government Avill be defeated, and the contract broken. I do not believe there is any immediate prospect of the settlement of the French shore question. The complication arises not from any difficulty in the case, but because politicians have always dealt with it rather as a means of exploiting their own ''popularity, than to relieving tlie country of the grave burden of the French aggression.

It is the reckless Way in which, people.rub their eyes which is to a great extent responsible for the scarcity Pf lashes. It is al- hiost ahvays the loAyer Ud AA'liieh bears tlifi brunt of this cubbing, and the result is apparent iii the much snutller quota of lashes Avhieh the lower lid always has. This is another direciipn iii AVhich parents lire expected tP look out fbr the physical well being pf their children. There aviis a tinie Avheii eAreii cross-eyed people did hot dream of reproaching their parents for negligence. Those were palmy days for parents. In future, Av.heii young people come of age they will be counting tlieir eyelashes and taking a Avhole Bertillon system of measurements of their ears and noses to find out Avhether .their ; parents have done the square thing by..them'.;.:'„., This is the day of the anti-spank movement. Advanced jnotliiers talk learnedly of alloAAriug a chiM to develop spohtaii: eously, of not cheeking stud controlling him, but of letting his individuality come up as a,floAVer, without iiitei'ference. Some mothers are trying to liAre up to these beautiful theories, even though their children seem to come up more like a volcano than like a floAver. To this variety of mothers the nose culture is es-. pecially recommended. If their small imp of a boy, developing his oaati ego a la the lily (theoretically), groAvs too obstreperous, they can take him by the nose and pull him "steadily and continuously" around the room. If he protests, oi- if any apostle of the neAV child culture surprises her in the act, she can scout the idea, of having punished the boy. She has been simply doing her duty in the line of nose culture. So Avitli the clothespin method. In fact, this physical training may readily be made to supersede old-fashioned forms of punishment even with mothers who stand by tlie old theories. Instead of sending a child supporless to bed, he could be condemned to wear a clothespin on his nose for an hour, instead of giving him a foolish spanking he could be required to undergo fifteen minutes of liosepulling, and so on. This method Avould have the ad\rantage of combining practical and beneficial results Avith moral discipline, and could be definitely extended to include such faults of physique as flopping ears, pigeon toes, round shoulders, stubby nails.and so on. The Flight of Time. New Denver Ledge. Time is A^ery energetic. It never stops and a few years of it will sIioav many changes in some localities. Look at Nelson for instance. Not long ago a man Avas lucky if he could ride through the toAArn on a mule, and now they are talking about street cars., Not long ago most of the ladies carried their money in their stockings, but now several banks hold the Avealth. Not long ago there Avas no butter in the ■ town, but iioav it is on every table. Not long ago John Houston edited a little Aveekly paper that he distributed around toAvn himself. Noav he edits a morning daily and has plenty to eat. Not long ago Tom Ward melted glue in the Gtuepot. Noav lie is in the insurance business-and the sunshine of prosperity is ever around him. Not long ago many of the people AA'ere broke ; uoav they belong to the 400 and drink S & S but of long glaAvses, dpneher kuoA\r! Not long ago NeSv Denver Avas two days frpiu Nelson, but now it is only four hours. ISTpt long ago Nelsoii said thej-* Avould all "' Uods are new ancl up-to-date, and we to suit all.
