The rest of the"* report- contained a synopsisof the work done; -byVthe board" during the year. Very little was given concerning the mining, industry or the volume of freight being handled in the city as the date was too early to secure statistics. It stated that seven meetings had been held. During' the year the following subjects have come before the board, aud many of its recommendations have been carried out, one instance being tho reduction of the telephones for business houses to one half the old rate, accompanied by a decidedly improved service; change of name from "South Kootenay" tothe'vNel- ���son"board-of~trader~revision-~and" publication of "bylaws; improve-! anents of telophone service and reduction of rates; improvements of mail service by (I) establishing a daily mail between Nelson .and Spokane, (2) establishing a postal car and mail clerk service over the Crow's Nest Pass Railway, (3) establishing a daily mail service between Medicine; Hat and Nelson; appointment of delegates to "represent this board at the fourth congress of chambers of commerce of the empire and consideration of proposed resolutions on matters af- .. fecting Canadian interests; petition-, ing the provincial government for a grant for, opening up a wagon road from the Columbia river into the Fire Valley district; sending a min-: eral exhibit to the Spokane exposition; advisability of an equitable bankruptcy law- for the .''Dominion r and the appointment of delegates -' to tlie second annual .'.".convention'.of. the associated boards of trade** of eastern British.Columbia.

A vote of thanks was tendered to the president, secretary and ' the' members of the. council of the board for the work that they had 'done .during the past year. ^ As the associated boards of trade meet in Greenwood during the' latter part of February, Messrs. Procter arid Duncan were appointed as delegates to attend the meeting. The question of having in the Dominion house a department of mines created with a representative minister in the cabinet or under_ the control of a commissioner attached to one of the existing departments, came before the meeting and considerable discussion took place. It was cited that there was already a department ' of" this nature established; so a committee" was appointed to draw up a -suitable resolution concerning the''matter' and report at the next meeting. The committee consists of Messrs. Fletcher, Taylor,' Robertson and Fowler."

R. bridge -across-the Columbia���river-at���Robson, was in Nelson yesterday. He said the work was progressing .as well as could be expected. All the piles for the two deep water piers have beeu driven. The caisson for oue of these has just been completed and'work upon the other has been started. The east abutment is about finished. The oxcav.ating 'for. the land piers \ has been;-dOne and the stone work-)^ will be started at brice. The contractor has three pf ,the C. P. R. barges in use, and stone for the piers is being delivered at both sides of the stream from the slip at Robson. This allow- a gang of men to. work upon both land; abutments at the same time. .A. force of about 75 men is at work, but additional men will be put piti shortly. The material for the superstructure of-the bridge will be delivered about April 1st. The water in. the river is within a foot of low water mark, which aids greatly in the carrying on of the work. Ordered to Protect American Interests. Washington, January IQ.���At the request of the state department, the navy-department has instructed the commander of the Scorpion to proceed at once from La Gnyaral to Guanoco, Venezuela, to, protect American interests, upon reports that the revolutionary movement there is increasing and the attempt is to lie made to take possession of arms of the New York & Bermudese Company. ���-'..'

FOR THE STAGNATION IN THE SLOCAN CAMP. Transportation Bates Were Reduced on All Ore Consigned to American - Smelters on January 1st. H. E. Macdonnell, assistant gen- * eral freight agent of the C. P. R., has returned from a trip through the Slocan. To a Tribune reporter he' said that "the lead question was settling itself, as one or. two smelr ters were again making contracts for Slocan ore, and the* general opinion appeared to ..be that the recent action of the American smelting trust was taken for the purpose of raising treatment rates. Mr.- Macdonell does not take kindly to the attempts which are being made by the smelter trust to hold the Canadian Pacific railway responsible for the unsatisfactory, conditions which existed in the Slocan early this month. When shown the Spokane report, that in-* fluence was being brought to bear upon the railway company to impose prohibitive rates to American smelters, Mr. Macdonell replied that the best reply to such a story was the circumstance that upon the first of the "year the Canadian Pacific Railway Company reduced' its rate one dollar per .ton upon all ores consigned to United States- smelting points. J , This -reduction was made - solely in the interests of the mine-owners,' and applies not only to points'at' which- the company "has" competition to.in.eet, but at; all points in'- East Kootenay and'elsewhere where the company has no "competition." All agents were 'notified of'* this1 re-' ductipn on the,1st of January,'*and the new-'tariff^ -was issued- on the' ���_rd,*so'thattIiere remained no jus- ��tifioatio_.-ts._��;^-the ���. iniddle'^of'^the mouth 'for,-any ~attempts which were" made! for the purpose of making ifc ..appear - that the Canadian Pacific -Railway Company was "in any way responsible for the stagnation-ill the Slocan. Hope It Will Turn Out a-Mine. One of the group of claims near Sandon on which development work; is being done is called the Donnelly group. The- work lias in many, places shown nice ore along the vein, which is traced for four-fifths of a mile, and in places tho width is from 20 to SO feet. The main working tunnel is .in nearly .300 feet, and in the last hundred feet' several stringers of ore have been cut. It is expected that the main vein~will_beTreached withinanother hundred feet. The owners.are hopeful that they will have one of the big mines of the Slocan. Would Like It Colder. ' Peter McVeigh of McVeigh Brothers, who have the contract for hauling ore from the Silver Hill mine to the steamboat landing on Crawford bay, says the weather for the past three.or four.days was not quite as cold as he would like to see it, speaking from the ore-hauling point of view. Notwithstanding the weather, good progress is being made on the contract. good progress is being made. The development is in the shape of tunnelling and drifting., The mine is showing up weir and the ore is giving good returns. The shipments range from 850 to 450 tons per week. To carry on the work more successfully heavy hoists have been installed. The Sullivan group is controlled by a Spokane company, of which colonel Ridpatli is the principal shareholder.. The company is contemplating more extensive developments at an early date in the spring. .It.is said that a spur will be built from" the .0. P. R., which now runs to Kimberley, to the property in the near future. This would be a mile and a half long and would give tlie mines better shipping facilities. Y ' ARE THEY THE >E0PLE WHO Made the' Deal: at Greenwood? ' About a" week ago the company that furnished electric light to the towns of Greenwood and Phoenix, and who also had a franchise to build and operate tramways in the neighborhood of these two towns, dis- posed of their plant and franchise to parties whose names could not be ascertained. It is generally believed that the "purchasers were the people who are interested' in the London & British ? Colombia Goldfields, whose head officeY.iu British Columbia " is. ati .'Nelson. The following from the Midway, Advance'��� of the 14th shows who the real purchasers are likely.to b"e:.7"Soraething over a year ago1" the'{Iiondon & 'British- Columbia'Goldfields, Ltd., one of the- raost^ siice'essful| English- companies operatirigv*in this ^province, took.

Goldfields, Limited. A large amount of work' has already - been done towards harnessing the power of the Kettle river at Cascade, there having been spent already between' $50,000/ and $100,000, including the350 foot dam, rock ' flume, cutting - out right of. way to Phoenix, etc. . It would now "appear that the valuable" property has passed into hands that will lose no time in completing the work so well begun. It will be a good thing thing for Cascade and the Boundary in general. Discussing Insurance Matters. DEWET THREATENING MINES CAN DO MORE DAMAGE THERE THAN ELSEWHERE. Arrival of Reinforcements Causes the People of Cape Colony to. Rest Better Nights. Reported Strike of Telluvide. News of a strike made on a claim situated about two and a half miles up the the Lemon Creek wagon road, Slocan City district, reached Nelson yesterday. It is said that telluride ore was encountered while running a development tunnel. Ore of that character is rare and the discovery may prove to be of considerable importance. No Market for Stocks, The mining stocks market is dull.. Very little stock is being sold, and there is little or no demand. Why the market should be so quiet, the local brokers cannot explain. Nevertheless it is a well-known fact that during the months of January and February of each" year there ia very little activity in. this branch of mining. " '. Making a Mine of the Sullivan. Good reports, are received from the Sullivan, situated about two and a half miles from Kimberley iu East Kootenay. The development of tho -property is being pushed with a force of about 40 men. Three machine drills are kept at work and " LoNDO~NTJanuary 16.���At a conference of shipowners, importers and underwriters, held here today to consider the alleged discrimination in insurance rates in Canadian waters, R. R. Dobell, member of the cabinet without portfolio, outlined the measures of the Dominion for facilitating navigation on the St. Lawrence.

The initial game was with Duquesne, and resulted: Queens 5, Duquesne 1. .' London, January 16.���The important report received from Johannesburg that general Dewet has crossed the Vaal and joined forces with the Transvaal commander, if true, probably means the concentration of 7000 Boers with several guns, for another big attack. There is a rumor current in Cape Town that - several Boer leaders are urging an attack upon the mines. It has long been understood that general Dewet has been anxious to join the ^invaders in Cape Colony, and this rumor may be spread to cover an' attempt to break southwards. The war office has issued no fresh news yet. ��� . -. . The response;to" the government's call for volunteers is said to bevery brisk in both London and the prov- mces. , _ Defensive _ measures in South Africa proceed apace.- Seven thousand men Jiave" joined -the city guard in Cape Town and 3000 others have volunteered in the suburbs.

Cyanide -Patent- Knocked Out. As is already well known, the Australian ' Gold Recovery Company, owning the McArthur-Forrest cyanide patent in West Australia, has been endeavoring to collect its fees from various users of tho cyanide process in that colony. A decision just given by the judicial committee of the privy council in London, to which the Lake View Consols, Limited.-appealed-from-the j judgment of the Western Australian courts, has upset the claims of the Australian Gold Recovery Company, by deciding that the patent is ihyalid. . The patent laws of Western Australia were only inaugurated in 1888, when it was "'-enacted; inter alia, that any British -patent current at the time should become good for Western Australia. Among these-was the British McArthur- Forrest patent 14,174 of. 1287. In 1S95 this patent was upset in England by the. Pielstieker. litigation, but leave was given to amend the claim by substituting the expres-' sion "dilute solution of cyanide" for cyanide generally. The amehd> ment should have been effected at the same time in the West Australian patent. The privy council has now decided that the patent was never good In" West Australia, and also that the amendment was never validly effected. The consequence is that the Australian Gold Recovery Company has lost its patent entirely and is entirely and is unable to collect any of the past fees. .The effect ofY the ;j udgraent as regards the future of the patents does not matter very much.as they have a very short time to run. '������-��� The only wonder is that this decision has been so long delayed. Will Own Canada, Also. Toronto Telegram, Standard Oil.interests, operating through such aliases as J. Pierpont Morgan arid J. J. Hill, have grouped the transcontinental lines of the United -States in one vast system. Canadians are deceived if they see no menace to the alleged independence of the Canadian Pacific-Mac- kenaie-Mann lines in the process of consolidation across the border. The Rockefeller-Hill-Morgan inter- D, R. Wilkie, Ueneral Manager. K. Hay, Inspector. Nelson Branoh���Burns Block, 221 Baker Street J. M. LAY. Manasto. ests will acquire- the C. P. R.-Mae- ken/.ie-Mann system just as they have absorbed Other systems, and Canada will then be in the .proud position of having -built two transcontinental lines, largely with public, lands and public money, in order that the exploiters of these lines may. sell out at a profit to the Staudard Oil crowd. Whether Mackenzie and Mann. and the C." P. R. are two or cine it matters little. The C. P. R. and Mackenzie and Maun lines will never compete .with each other for the benefit of the public. The backers of these Canadian systems or system will have a powerfulflnancial motive for establishing conditions which .'will enable them to sell out .at a profit to the United States trans-continental interests. Canada's sacrifice of land and money will not suffice to keep the C. P. R. nor the Canada Northern out .of the hands of ' the magnates who soem determined to acquire all the trans-continental lines in North America. Government ownership applied to all the lines which have been "built since Wilfrid Laurier came into power would have made Canada, east and west, independent of Rockefeller, Hill and * Morgan. Apart from R. L. Richardson of Lisgar, and Frank Oliver of Alberta, government ownership has not in the Dominion parliament a friend who is prepared to put tha.-grjeat principle before the petty interests of party. -The Conservative opposition and the Liberal government seem .to be strug- gling.Jn.the.throes of a keen rivalry to see which can be most useful- to the corporation and least useful to tlie people. .

The advantages to this city of a high -school can hardly be estimated. Students will throng in from tho various parts ot Kootonay, with the hope of securing the best education possible within a reasonable distance. Further, a high school here means immeasurable development of Intellectual growth of the inhabitants, n, desire to hear and read everything new in literary and Ecieutillc circles. Indeed.it inay muan a higher standard of political morality and give an impetus to tho reception and absorption of new ideas ip matters of art. ' v ':' Tlie above from the Economist is true as to the benefits of - the loeac tion of a high school atYNelson; but Nelson will not have to wait "months" for the establishment of the school, j The boai'tl of school trustees have been instructed to hire a principal and open the school at once. They have the school room fitted up in temporary quarters in the. Central School building, aud have written to the department of education at Victoria to send them a principal, Q9 they did not wish to break up the present teachr ing staff of the public' school *at Nelson, which they believe is one of the best in the province. The high school will be opened as soon as a principal for it can be secured. YESTERDAY'S CURLING. Two interesting gaines were played by the Nelson curling club at the rink yesterday.

It; was doubt one of tlie inost enjoyable gatherings ever held in the city. Nearly 200 invited:gn'ests were'pre- seut, and all enjoyed themselves exceedingly. The"'hall was elaborately decorated, streamers'of numerous flags liiaug. in many loops, being attached to"''the-ceiling and walls/ The walls were also further adorned with flags and red, white and blue bunting.'. To add to* the appearance of the' rpom, ��� there was, at the north ericVa. large banner containing the name of thesorder, and in large letters tlie word-".Welcome," underneath .being the emblems of the order, set off by^a red, white and blue background. The ladies present wore pretty and costly evening dresses. The patronesses_of_the_baiywere:_]\Ii,s.. William It-vine, Mrs. J. J. Malone, Mrs. J. A. Paqu'atte, Mrs. H. Stevens, Mrs. J. P. Thompson, and Mrs. O. A. Nelson. Excellent music was furnished by Millward's orchestra, consisting of six pieces. At the midnight hour a tempting repast of turkey.and other delicious things were served to the guests by tho members of the order, aided by tho executive committee, consisting of L G. Nelson, William Irvine and .1. A. Paquette. The success of the event was largely due to the'reception committee, which left nothing undone which might detract from its success. This committee consisted of" P.J.Bradley, T. Lillio, H.M.Vincent, H. Stevens, W. .T. Caldwell and R. W. Thompson. The Nelson branch of the Knights of Pythias order is comparatively young, yet its membership' is now over the 100 mark. Applications for membership are being recorded at each meeting, and it bids fair in shqi't time to become one of the strongest order in the city, Hockey .Match' with Rossland. The Nelson hockey club received word today from the Sandon team stating that it would be impossible for that team to play here tomorrow night as was arranged. It is probable that the Sandon team will come to Nelson about the last of this month. The secretary of the club was also notified that the Rossland team had decided to play here on Monday night next. This will be tho first big game of the season, and as the Nelson boys have been doing considerable pr*cticing they ought to stand a good show of winning. A practice game will be held tomorrow evening, after which a Reward is Recalled. ��� Toi'EKA, January 16.���Governor Stanley decided tonight that he .would not issue an offer of a reward for the arrest of tlie perpetrators of yesterday's negro burning, in Leavenworth. "It will be absolutely of no use to issue the offer," said the governor. "If the guilty, persons were- arrested they would havei.���to undergo the first trial in Leavenworth "county, and on account of the present condition o. public sentiment there it would be absolutely useless to attempt to prosecute anybody there for the crime." The Money Lender's Fortune. London, January 17. ��� Samuel Lewis, the money lender and usurer, who died Sunday, left ��4,000,000, all of which goes under his will to his widow, with the exception of J-200,000, which is divided among relatives. In his will Lewis expresses a desire that his widow should give in her own name-��400,- 000. to provide dwellings for the poor" of all creeds, ���250,000 to the prince of Wales hospital fund, ,��100,000" to the Jewish board of guardians of Loudon, and ��200,000 to various hospitals. ,��� .**. Public-Spirited David. David Mark Carley is riot only a politician and philosopher, but is a public-spirited citizen', _as *_ well. Reading in The Trihune yesterday morning that Rossland's pbstoflice. receipts last year amounted to ,'a few dollars more than Nelson's, he remarked to a friend:."Had.-I .imagined such would be' the 'result, T would have added a few'more pages to the Economist, and the additional weight for postage would have been more than sufficient to have placed Nelson's receipts 'in tlie lead."
