GRANITE OWNERS ARE IN LUCK Four New Veins Discovered. Auother important strike was made on the Granite group on Saturday, one which greatly enhances the value ot the property. No less than four new veins were discovered while driving a crosscut on the Red Rock claim for the purpose of obtaining depth for stopes wliich already had been proved. Tbe four veins lie within sixteen feet of one another, and aro all of quart/.. The first, where crosscut, showed .111.1 eight inches wide and carries visible free gold, the second i.s eighteen inches wide and also shows free gold, the third, which is four inches wide, shows mineral,'and the width of the fourth has not yet been determined. Samples of the ore ace being assayed and the result will be known today. The existence of these veins was unsuspected as they do not come to the surface but are overcapped by country, rock. This is tbe second strike ou the Granite group since R. C. Campbell-Johnston was appointed consulting engineer. Readers of ■This Tribune will remember that a short time back ground sluicing operations on the Nevada disclosed a new vein, a sample assay of-whieli subsequently gave returns of $102 a ton.. The mine generally is looking extremely well and the ore body in the Granite has proved its continuance with depth, the horse that appeared in the Drummond shaft having been completely got rid of. The upraise from No. 2 level to No. 1 level from the above shaft is all in ore, and in No. 1 level upraises are being driven every seventy feet for the purpose of stoping ore for the stamp mill and they are all in good ore. The erection of the twenty- stamp mill, wliich is being put iii by the AVilliam .Hamilton Manufacturing Company of Peterborough, Ontario, started yesterday. D. J. McNally is the foreman in charge of construction for the company. . Will Wait for the Water. A meeting of the directors ofthe Kamloops Placer Mining Company was held yestordav in H. It.

SILVERTOlf. The management of the Noonday mine are putting more men to work daily. Five miners went up. to the mine on Sunday and no idle men are left in town. Up to date considerably over 150 tons have been sacked at the mine and the daily output is increasing. Two car loads a week, forty tons, is what the lesses ex- poet to ship. Nothing new is happening around the Four-mile mines. The surveyors are still busy around the Wakefield laying out the site for the new concentrator. The right-of-way for their tramway is about cleared. All trees have been cut down for fifty feet on each side of the tram line, which is 6000 feet in length.

At a fairly well attended meeting of the South Kootenay m Board of Trade, which was held last evening the majority of the. members present voted against the local board taking any part in the conference of the boards of trade of Kootenay and Yale which i.s to take place in Rossland next month. The chairman, however, did not catch all the votes and declared the division a tie. He then gave the casting vote in favor of the board being represented and refused all demands for the yeas and nays. When the meeting was called to order John Houston was voted to the chair but before any new business was reached J. Roderick Robertson, president of the board, arrived and the chairman retired in his favor. After J. J.-. Campbell, had'' been admitted to membership the meeting proceeded to discuss matters in connection with the proposed board of trade conference. The first resolution on the question was offered by John A. Turner who moAred "that the motion to represent the board at the joint meeting of the boards of trade at Rossland, which Avas passed at the last meeting of the board be rescinded, aud that this board be not represented at the joint nieeting of the boards of trade." This was seconded by John Houston. Frauk Fletcher asked for the reason for the motion to rescind. He thought that it was childish. • J. Roderick Robertson called John Houston to the chair and took the floor in opposition tP the motion. He asked for some "explanation. He said that he had been appointed a delegate against his wishes but that the board having gone so far in the matter he considered that it .would be an act of discourtesy to the other boards to withdraw at the;pre- sent stage. He moved in amendment that the board maintain its present position in.the matter and added that if it ^yasj desiyablg; Jbhe'., deleg|vtem. qpuld;vbc "" e"cf ;c6Hfei:.eTiee° -3113 .i g'l:pha'rtMil;dJi*5he.B ^Fi^k^etille^i^ xhj. u_ rf_.ii..,, - ■ C* -ni U„ ,,r.il_ w , n iCC-p U1"n Lii 0 n n_.d~.l_H n.nn!n'n dn* n n. me-^^IH^Mou^*3r^^uldbe"taken. tPnhieJtn^ that; the ^l'spiv°:b6iil'd.' %a&°shiukij:fg a* diseusslpn e| -questi-bus wMch uiight he ''"bxppghtl'xipyj" ' (* "";,""*" ;y. y'n .,, ...

The vPte stood nine in faA'or to ten or eleven against but the cliairiiiail declared the A'pte a tie and said that lie would ghre a casting A^pte in favor of liis oavu aiueijdinent. Several ilieinbers protested against the decision of tlie chair and. asked for yeas and nays, but the ehairiiia.ii refused to ■liavo the vote recorded, John A. Turner—l)o you rule that the yeas and nays cannot be taken? J. Roderick Robertson—-The chair has ruled that the amendment lias beeu carried. S. S. Taylor endeavored to set the chairman right. He said tliat he had voted in favor of his amendment but he thought that parliamentary rules governed the deliberations pf the board which A*ery clearly provided that di\-isions could be recorded. The chairman replied that he had not a copy of the constitution and that Avithout it lie did not prpppse tp give way. Jphn. A. Turner said that in calling fpr the yeas and days he contended that tlie vote Avas not correctly taken by the chairman. There Avere Several other protests against the arbitary ruling of the chair, but as the chairman persisted in his refusal to take tlie yeas and nays the motion Avas alloAved to drop. The chairman then read tlie list of questions which the council of the board had suggested should be discussed at tlie board of trade conference. They were briefly (1) the encouragement of the lead mining industry by increased duties upon lead products; (2) the encouragement, of sih'er-lead smelting by tbe admission, free of duty into Canada of lead .bullion., smelted in Canada and refined in ■ the United States; (:l) the desirability of increasing the representation of Kootenay in the house of commons; and (I) the consideration of the eight-hour law and its eifect upon the district. S. S Taylor said that he would object to the consideration of the eight-hour law. In the first place the eight-hour law had been passed by the legislature, it was a .reform in the labor laws of the province, and it was well known in the history of. all countries that when any such reforms were once passed they were never repealed. To set up a. discussion upon the question of the repeal of the law was therefore attempting the ' impossible. Such legislation Avas neA'er A'aried or materially amended. Another objection Avas that the board in taking up the question invited a clash with the interest in the community known as the labor interest. It Avas stepping in between two factions and would thereby destroy the .usefulness of the board. The question was also at the present time a political one. For this reason the board of trade could not take the question up without stultifying itself and injuring the usefulness of the board so far as the general public Avas concerned. He thought the delegates should be instructed not to discuss or A*ote for or against any current political question. J. Roderick Robertson said that he would like to discuss the question, and called upon John Houston to take the chair. He said that he did not regard the eight-hour question as settled and for that reason desired to have it discussed. He said that the measure had been put through the legislature at the extreme end of the sessipn. Johu A Turner here took the point of order that the president Avas talking politics. Tlie chairman held that the point was well taken and instructed the speaker that he might tell the members Iioav the operation of the law affected him as a mine owner. The president-theu proceeded by say- jng,.';that_.a.',measUi;e_.-J'*tad« ^been^passed-.

At the time no such idea was suggested. He had expressed at the tinie a desire to be relieved of the office- of delegate and he would inform the "members that he would probably exercise his right of appointing a substitute to proceed to Rossland in his place. The question Avas then put and the .motion instructing the delegates to let the eight-hour question se\rerely alone ..was.carried on a vote of eleven to six. John A. Turner then moAred that the three other questions recommended by the council of the board for consideration at the Rossland conference be struck out. This was seconded by John Houston and carried without any attempt at discussion. John Houston then moved that the secretary of the board be* instructed to inform the postmaster-general by Avire that the Crow's Nest Pass railway i.s running daily trains, and that it is desirable that a, daily mail should be instituted. This was seconded by A. R. Sher- AArood and carried. Those present at the meeting '"were: J. Roderick Robertson, John A. Turner, F. W. Swannell, J. J. Campbell, W. A. JoAvett, H. Byers, J. A.

Tlie question of duties was an open question in that the govern m0i.it..AvaS' pTcpiired to adniit certain articles &ee and impose a dttiiy upon others. Tlioro wits iiothing fixed about it. With the eight-hour law it was altogether different.- A dominant party had taken a definite stand and luado it a 'political issue of the party. No other member wishing to speak, the motion was then put and carried on a division of 1'3 to (5, Avhicli struck the eight-hour law question off the list. John Houston then moved that if the question of the eight-hour law was referred to the conference of the boards of trade or put to a vote that the delegates from Nelson be instructed to vote against tlie consideration of the question and refrain from speaking upon it. A, IT. Kelly opposed this motion also, lie said that he knew it would be useless to speak against it, but lie regretted tliat so many members held opinions differing from Avhat he considered made for the best interests of the country. At this Stage of the proceedings Frank Fletcher consulted the secretary as to the right of certain members to vote.

Salt Luke Tribune. The Philadelphia fteeot'd thinks it was "Thomas F. Bayard avIio, as our embassador in EnglaMd, laid the foundatiGlis arid itccohjiplislicd the marvelous work of pre- pa-ring the way for a grand revolution in po|.)iil;tr sentiment on both sides of the Atlantic which has brought the Knglish- spenking nations back to back.'' Is that so? It is true that Thomas F. liayard was abject in his toadyism, but then, what about einbu.ssa.dor Phelps, and before him, James Hussell Lowell? We beg to say that the action of one George Dewey in Manila bay about a year ago had more to do with England's desire to stand dos-it-dos with the United States than did all the embassadors that ever our country had in Great Britain. Prior to that day, when the war with Spain was talked of, Great Britain behaved very splendidly. The press and statesmen of continental Europe had been trying for three years to "isolate Great Britain," and when they in chorus joined in sympathy with Spain, Great Britain, knowing them like ti book, and knoAA'ing* very well that if Cuba lay within sixty miles of the coast of Great Britain, Great Britain Avould stop the deviltries going on there, joined in earnest sympathy Avith the United States. 'Up to this time it was pure selfishness on her part. But after that performance of the American fleet in Manila bay, a deeper chord Avas touched. Englishmen talking among themselves said : "There is a Nelson OArcr there, or a Drake, or a HoAvard. They They, are a crowd that will do to tie to." And the other performance off Santiago harbor intensified that feeling. The cannon-shots from the OlmypiaJ'- from the Baltimore, fiom the Raleigh, the Boston, the Brooklyn, the Oregon, the Texas, the Iowa, the*Indiana aud the little Gloucester Avere the arguments that touched John Bull's heart, that stalwart old heart that for a thousand years has beeu holding ships up to storms and to battle, and it gave a .responsive, throb, and it Avas not the toad}** talk of Thomas F. Bayard that did the business at all.' who did it although it pleased everyone. This man has held office for a number of years and never misses a chance to put in a word against Canada and Canadians and to express his opinions of the government which employs him. Of course when he meets a government official or any other man, he gives them the glad hand and welcomes them as a lost brother if the few hours work a day is hard on him, he should resign before the goA'ernment relieves him. lie has now enough wordly goods to retire from active life, having made it till in Canada-. The man himself i.s known to all who have lived in this part of the country any length of time, and many were not surprised to hear of his refusal to put up the flag on .Dominion day. knowing his antipathy to Canadians. A Cabinet Wrecker. Toronto News. Premier Semlin's request for Hon. Joseph Martin's resignation is a justification for his exclusion from the Dominion cabinet. There is in Hon. Mr. Martin's record ample eA'idence of his public spirit, but unfortunately he. does not combine Avith that a temper fit for a cabinet minister. His conduct at the Rossland banquet, where he is-reported to haA'e acted in a most insulting manner to the guests, Avas an exhibition of the turbulent spirit that controls the man and makes it unwise to entrust to him affairs of state that require delicate handling. if 'every political question could be settled by brute force Hon. Mr. Martin Avould be an iuAralviable member of a ministry. His fighting qualities are superb. But statesmen must be able to control themselves in order to succeed in their efforts to advance the public interest, aud this unfortunately is beyond the powers of Hon. Joseph Martin. If he can so quickly disrupt the British Columbia cabinet, how could he have, been restrained in the federal cabinet? From a party standpoint the course adopted- by sir Wilfrid Laurier in preferring Hon. Clifford Sifton to Hon. Joseph Martin Avas good tactics.

Max O'ltell relates tliat while lie was teaching an English school a lady wrote to the head-master : "Dear Sir: It is our intention to place our boy under your care, but before doing so we would like to know what the social standard of your school is." To which the head-master replied ; "Dear Madam : So long as your boy behaves well and his fees are paid regularly, no inquiry will be made about his antecedents." In spite of the humor in his poems, John G. Saxe was extremely sensitive to being made fun of, as Richard Henry Stoddard discovered. The two met one day in Broadway, aud the old poet was feeling in a particularly good humor. "My son," he explained, "is doing better than I expected. He is making a great success." "How?" Stoddard asked. "He has started a lumber-yard up in Albauy," Saxe replied. All out of his own head ?" the younger man asked, and Saxe immediately left him in a huff. One evening at a social function where Sarasate was among the guests, a young violinist had the bad taste to play one of Sarasate's compositions with variations of his own creation. The latter were iu-. 'appropriate'and inartistic, and jarred upon the ears of all.

"Some time ago," said the governor at a recent dinner, "a man came to me and asked to be appointed to a minor office. He was very 'hot' when I told liiin he would have to stand the civil-service examination. 'Why, I have tried the pesky thing,' lie said, 'and tliey wouldn't pass me,' The liian had such good backing that I told liinl to try the examination again.' '-You have them sized up noAvt sir,' I said, 'and you can go through flying.' Today he caine to me again, about the angriest politician in Hev,' York. 'Do I get that office?' he demanded. 'Have you passed the examination?' I asked. 'Passed it!' he raved; 'how could I pass it when they asked me the same old questions ?' " Labouehere tells an amusing story of how he did a good turn for a legal friend, who, although accustomed to address ���juries and judges, was afraid of the house of commons. "One day, Avalking home with him," says Labouehere, "I told him that he should get over this curious dread. A matter was coming under discussion whieh involved a good deal of law. .I said to him : 'If you like, I will get up and speak against the government view. You must jeer at me. I will complain of this, and suggest tluit a.s you are an eminent lawyer you should express your objections articulately, then you��� having prepared your speech���must get up iind crush me.' This was arranged. AVhen 1 laid dxiwu the law, he laughed. I looked indignant. J went on ; hc uttered sarcastic 'Hear, hears.' On this I protested, Silt down, and invited liiin to reply to me. He got up and made an excellent speech." The old duke of York, Avhose effigy looks down from the top of the column in St. James's park, was once commander-in- chief, and frequently entertained fche officers under his command. On one occasion the empty bottles had accumulated inconveniently, and the duke called to ii servant: "Take away these marines!" Now a distinguished officer of marines was present. "May I ask your royal highness for an explanation of that phrase?" said the undaunted representative of the "sailors and soldiers, too." The duke Avas the last man in the world to take refuge behind his dignity as royal highness, or even his exalted rank in the service. "I wear a blue coat, and you knoAV Avhore to find me," he had Avritten to colonel Lennox, AA'hen there Avas a quarrel between them, and he had "gone out" AA'ith the colonel as if he had been only plain major Dobbin. But on this occasion a readiness of wit, Avhieh Avas H. D. Ashcroft BLACKSMITHING AND EXPERT HORSESHOEING not usual Avith him, saved the situation. "They have done their duty," he said, "iind are ready to do it again. That's Avhy I call 'em marines!" His Power Will Last. Toronto Telegram. All theMacken/.ie-Maim-C. P. R. papers hasten to write an epitaph over the alleged political tomb qf Hon. Joseph Martin. A government satisfactory to the monopolies which inspire their newspapers in Ontario and the Avest to curse the name of Martin will not be serviceable to the people of British Columbia. It is possible that the surviving members of the British Columbia goArernment may be strong men, devoted to the public interest, and iu that case they will come in for the criticism which has been aimed at Joseph Martin. It is hard at this distance to measure the rights and wrongs of the dispute over Deadman's Island, which is said to be separating Mr. Margin from the other members of the government. There seems to be a good deal of force in Mr. Cotton's contention that the laud, if it belongs to the province, should be sold to the highest bidder. Mr. Martin seems to bec conforming to the local sentiment which would utilize the island for the establishment of a great industry. If he retains his strength in Vancouver he Avill still be in a. position to appeal to the industrial element in British Columbia, and inside or outside the government will remain a figure in provincial politics. Keeps on Fighting. Hamilton Herald. Fighting Joe Martin ought to be happy now. After fighting sill the enemies of the British Columbia, government, iu -which he is attorney-general, he is now forced to fight the government itself. FULL LINE OF HOTEL ARRIVALS. HUME. G. AV.

One of the bridges is 1000 feet long. Part of the mill (tlie carriage, saw frame and planer) was sold by Mr. Pjuchanan to manager llaiiltain of the Y'ellowstone mine, which is located near Salmo. The price paid for the Lavin mill outfit was $2025. it i.s said to have cost four times that sum. The Nelson Saw and Planing Mills, Limited, purchased the horses and harness for $'350. NELSON. The promoters of the gas and coke works arc still dickering with the Hall Mines, Limited, for a site on that company's property. It is generally understood that the promoters of the gas and coke company prefer to be near the smelter for the reason that they expect to quote a sufficiently low rate to the Hall Mines for eolce as will ensure them the business of supplying all the coke required. So soon as an agreement is arrived at with respect to the site work . will be commenced at once. The coking plant which the company will put in at first will have a capacity of about 75 tons per day, which will be more than sufficient to supply all demands ofthe local smelter. Sheriff Tuck will offer for sale in front of his office this morning at 11 o'clock tlie building and set of shoemakers' tools belonging to Nicola Palorcia of Sandon, which were taken iii execution at tlie suit of 3.

The prosecution had a witness from Kaslo, but when he was called it was found that it was his brother and not himself that the prosecution required, and the prisoners were again remanded until Thursday. During the proceedings yesterday tlie prisoner put in the tiiiie crying. JIe said he was sick of the whole business and was prepared to go to jail. The woman however did not give up. She repeated that she purchased the articles at Kuskonook from a man named Mansfield and paid $85 for them, not knowing them to be stolen.
