Paymaster\nWoodman has found it necessary to\nput on an extra clerk to get out the\n5,000 and more pay checks for the\nlarge force employed.\nThe work is now all under way as\nfar as Greenwood, and large forces\nof men can be seen all along the\nline. As fast as the sub-contractors\nfinish some of the easy work below\nhere, they are rushed to the front,\nwhere plenty of other work awaits\nthem.\nGood weather has prevailed thus\nfar, but the wet season is setting in,\nwhen the work canrot be pushed so\nfast. It is, therefore, safe to say\nthat the headquarters will not be\nmoved from Brooklyn till spring.\nThis will mean a continuance of the\ngood busniss now prevailing here\nuntil that time at least.\nThe contractors will disburse over\n$200,000 this month all told.\n\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\nI  CONSTRUCTION NOTES.   2\n\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd%\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd$\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd&%&%\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd&\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\nDr. Gordan now has charge of\nthe company's hospital at Cascade\nCity.\nA, B, Barber and Bobby Allen\nare now running their teams to\nCascade and carrying passengers.\nJohn a McMillan, who now owns\nCotton's hotel, has secured a license\nand is doing an excellent business.\nj.Twohy Bros..have but 13 stations\nlet out on their contract.

Genelle and Co.'s new mill,\nnear Robson, is running out about\n40,000 feet of lumber per day for\nbridge timbers, working 10 hours.\nThe upper mill has had to close\ndown on account of being out of\nlogs.\nSome 25 or 30 men are at work\non the bridge over Moberly creek at\nShield's Landing. This is the\nstructure that will have about\n750,000 feet of timber in it when\ncompleted. The work on it will\nprobably last till Christmas time.\nJohn McMartin, who has 2j4\nmiles of work, seven miles out, has\n180 men employed' and is making\ngood headway, the contract being\nlargely rock cutting. He has also\nsecured another contract farther\nout, on which he will start operations before long.\nContractor Boomer, of Winters,\nParsons and Boomer, who have a\nfive-mile contract on the summit,\ninforms the News that his work is\ngoing on in good shape, and if good\nweather holds out, a large hole will\nbe made in before winter. There\nare six camps on the work.\nA corp of surveyors under Mr.\nRoss are making a thorough survey\nof the route between Penticton and\nBoundary Creek-for the V. V. & E.\nRailway.

Some of the\ncontracts in the vicinity of Fisherman creek are very heavy and it will\ntake nearly the entire winter to do\nthe work.\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdGrand Forks Miner.\nAlex McPherson, of McPherson\nBros, and Stout, came in from the\nsaw mill, some 20 miles out, on\nMonday. He informed the News\nman that in another week or two\nthe mill will be removed to Gladstone, where it will make another\nhole in the 5,000,000-foot cut of\ntimber laid out for it. The mill will\nthen be run night and day. Thus\nfar this firm have gotten out about\n75,000 ties, leaving 100,000 yet to\nbe delivered to complete their tie\ncontract.\nMore Teams Needed.\nR. D. Hawks, the general mer-\nshant from Gladstone, who was in\nBrooklyn this week, says that there\nis still a shortage of freighting\nfacilities between the two places,\nand that several more teams could\nget steady work. This is the universal verdict. All the freighters\nnow on the road have all they can\ndo and more, and when bad weather\ncomes, before long, the situation\nwill be aggravated.\nRescued Just In Time.\nEarly Monday morning a laboring\nman was sleeping on the C. P. R.\ndock, and was noticed to fall into\nthe lake while still in the arms of\nMorpheus. Fortunately there were\nseveral men standing near, and the\nunfortunate sleeper was rescued\nwith no worse result than a thorough wetting. It was doubtless in\nsome such way as this that George\nRichardson, whose body was found\nfloating near the wharf on the morning'of the 3rd inst, as chronicled in\nlast week's issue of the News, met\nhis death.\nIN BURNT BASIN\nDistrict Most Promising in a\nMineral Way.\nNOT PAR PR0N BROOKLYN\nFree Gold Properties Are the Rule\nend ot High Grade\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdSome ot\nthe best ot Them.\nOne of the most promising mining sections of this region is that\nnow known as the Burnt Basin,\nlocated within a mile of tne new\ntown of Gladstone, the latter being\n25 miles from Brooklyn. Conservative mining men who have been into\nthe Burnt Basin and examined its\nremarkable ledges and outcroppings\nof free gold, agree that for a new\nand undeveloped district it certainly\nhas a most promising future. There\nare a large number of locations and\nmany of them, it is believed, will\nindeed be future bonanzas, if indications count for anything.\nIn the fall of 1896 Charles Wil-\nlardson made the first locations,\nwhich were the Mystery groups,\nwhich has been worked this summer\nwith good results. It is a free gold\nproposition. In the spring of 1897\nthe Edison group was.staked by\nHunter and Hend-'son of Rossland\nand then the Bryan group by the\nsame parties. The Solid Gold group,\noriginally located by Fred Fredericks,\nwas sold for $50, and lately $40,000\nwas refused for it. The claims, consisting of Solid Gold, Halifax,\nHavana, Mainton and Jenny Lind,\nhave magnificient showings of gold,\ncopper and galena. Assays run\nfrom $22 to $70, and some development work has been done. Richard\nCooper, of Rossland, is the owner.\nQuite recently the Tammany\ngroup has excited much attention\ntrom the splendid free gold samples\ntaken fiom it, which run very high.\nIt is now being worked, the owners\nbeing Reed, McPherson and Ray of\nRossland. On the same lead is the\nMother Lode group, owned by Mike\nSchaick, from which the astonishing\nassay of $6,500 in gold has been\nobtained. It will be operated this\nwinter.\nEast of McRae creek is the John\nBull group, owned by Cameron,\nForrest, Good and Dixon, another\nfree gold property. An offer of\n$40,000 has been refused and the\nowners will work it themselves.\nThe Ennismore, the Tunnel group\nand the Hastings are all promising\nproperties, of which great things\nare expected some day, On the\nMcCrae creek slope the Diana, the\nBuckingham and the Marinet all.\nlook well, and only need development to prove their worth.\nAltogether the Burnt Basin appears to have a bright future. The\nconfidence of the owners of the\nproperties is the greatest, and they\ndoubtless will be rewarded as development proves them up.\nTHREB ROYAL FLUSHES.\nThe City Drug Store, over the\nbridge, can fit you out to perfection\nwith toilet soaps, perfumes, and\neverything in that line. tf\nAad Then the Big Jack  Pot  Was\nDivided.\nA recent dispatch from the Coast\nhas the follow ing interesting account\nof a game ot draw poker on an\nAlaska liner:\nMen who arrived in Seattle Wednesday evening on the steamer\nConemaugh from St. Michael tell\nthe story of a wonderful game of\ndraw poker that was played there\none evening several weeke ago.\nThere were four men in the game,\nas follows: Dr, Kelsey, of Philadelphia; Chief Engineer David D, Silva,\nChief Steward Campbell and Third\nOfficer David Sanford, all of the\nConemaugh, *\nCampbell opened a jack pot with\nthree nines, The three others stayed\nin, and each drew one card. Things\nwere so hot after the say had passed\naround once that Campbell dropped\nout.; Dr Kelsey, Sandford and De\nSilva kept on betting until all their\navailable cash was on the table.\nThen they looked at each other and\nwent at it again. Each bet a month's\npay in advance. After this they\nlooked at each other a moment, and\nthen went at it again. They bet\neven their clothes. When there wus\nnothing left to bet, the call came.\nStrange as it may seem each had a\nroyal flush, conseqently they were a\ntie, and the pot, some $400 in cash,\nwas equally divided.\nMall Hours.\nMails at our new post office close\ndaily at 4.30 p. m. for Rossland,\nNelson and Robson, and at 8.30 for\nRevelstoke and points beyond.\nMails are received daily from the\nabove points and places beyond\nthrough them. Postmaster Livingston has now got his office in good\nworking order and is doing a large\nbusiness in postage stamps, etc.\nThe post office is open daily from 8\na. m. to 8 p. m.\nC. P. R. President Here.\nSir William Van Home, president\nof the Canadian Pacific Railway Co.,\nwho is touring the Kootenay and\nlooking over the company's lines,\ncame up the lake yesterday as far as\nBrooklyn. The trip was made for\nthe purpose of inspecting the new\nrailway line along the lake. Richard\nMarpole, western manager, accompanied the man who receives a salary\nof $50,000 per year, or nearly $140\nper day.\nBarry's Restaurant Reopened.\nJ. M. Barry has bought out his\npartner, Mr. McKaig, in the restaurant and bakery business. The\nrestaurant, which was closed for a\nfew days, was reopened yesterday,\nand is once more catering to its\nlarge list of customers. Every\ndelicacy of the season can be had at\nthis popular resort at reasonable\nprices. The bakery and milk depot\nwill also be continued.\nSCHOOL   OPENS   MONDAY.\nBuilding  Has  Been   Comfortably\nFitted Up.\nBrooklyn's first public school will\nstart up Monday morning at nine\no'clock. Miss Elizabeth Fletcher,\nthe new teacher, arrived on Thursday, and for the last fwo days carpenters have been arranging the\nhome made desks to the best advantage. All parents in Brooklyn are\nrequested to see that the children\nare on hand promptly to receive the\nfirst lessons from the new instruc-\ntoress, who will teach the young\nidea how to shoot. Miss Fletcher,\nwhose home is in Victoria, is the\nyoung lady who formerly had charge\nof the school at Waterloo, below\nRobson, for the last year, which she\nhas conducted successfully. Between 30 and 40 scholars can be\naccomodated in the school room.\nWorking His Claims.\nJohn McDonald, the boatman,\nstarted for his claims, the California\nGirl and Fireside, on Tuesday, to\n0 assessmsnt work. The property,\nwhich gives a $9 gold assay on the\nsurface, is located near the Needles,\n40 miles above Brooklyn, near the\nNarrows, and is considered decidedly promising.\nArrested tor Petty Larceny.\nJames McLeod was arrested Monday for stealing a saw from Mr.\nGordon and selling it to Mr. Bris-\nbois. Justices McGregor and Cooper gave him 60 days in the provincial jail to reflect on it, and Constable Forrester escorted him to\nthat institution at Nelson. BROOKLYN NEWS, BROOKLYN. B.

A few of\nthese new towns\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdvery few\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdhave\nmerit, but most of them are built\non wind.\nA short time since Minton, at the\nfoot of Christina lake, was laid out.\nThen followed Christina, in the same\nlocality. But now several more\nhave sprung into existence like a\nmushroom in the night. One of\nthese is Duluth or Monte Carlo,\njust over the boundary line from\nCascade City. This place is to be\nrun \"wide open,\" with all that this\nterm implies, and there will doubtless be hot times there for a while.\nAnother of the railway (construction\ntowns is Niagara, on Fisherman\ncreek, a few miles from Grand\nForks.\nSo far as can be learned, the end\nis not yet. If the people of this\nsection do not secure all the wild cat\ntown lots they wish, it will not be\nfor   lack of  opportunity.     In  the\nmeantime, the older places like Cascade City,  Greenwood and  Grand\na\nForks, move evenly on their way,\ntaking on a more substantial growth\nevery month.\nBrooKLYN, with the rest of Kootenay, seems to be getting its share\nof returned Klondikers. And they\nseem to agree that Kootenay is beyond all odds the better field for\nthe prospector. We are not speak-\nnow, either, of the thousands who\nhave lost their all in the far-off\nYukon, who would naturally have a\nhard luck story to relate. Old\nKootcnaians who have returned\nespecially, say amen to the above,\nfor they know whereof they speak,\nSix deaths from violence have\noccurred so far among the workmen\non this 105 miles of railway construction. When the number of\nmen\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd3,000 to 4,000\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdis considered,\nand their reprehensible carelessness\nis understood, the number is comparatively small. At least, this is\nthe judgment of old railroaders. If\nthere is not a whole gang killed,\nthrough criminal carelessness in\nhandling powder, it will be fortunate.\nThe Rossland Miner, if it would\nleave out personal spite and take a\nlesson in journalistic ethics, thereafter crediting matter lifted bodidly\nfrom the columns of contemporaries,\nwould be a better paper, and its\nrecent semi-occasional enlargement\nwould be more appreciated. Steal*\ning news is no more defensible than\nstealing chickens. It is not so long\nsince the Miner was singing in this\nidentical key.\nIt is a noticeable fact that most\nof those who take a survey of the\nbusiness field from here to Midway,\nand size up the general situation,\nreturn to busy Brooklyn-on-the-take\nwith a better opinion of it than\never. It is worth while making a\nnote of this.\nThe Klondike is now getting\nsome free advertising not bargained\nfor by its most enthusiastic boomers, in the investigation of charges\nmade against various government\nofficials. Taking It all around, that\nmuch talked of region is not as\npopular as it was a year ago.\nIf it proves true that the 850,-\n000,000 saved by the Khalifa at\nKhartoum has been found, the\nAnglo-Egyptian campaign into the\ndervish stronghold will prove quite\nprofitable from a monetary standpoint.\nThe Nelson Miner has greatly\nimproved in its news features within the last month. It it was also\nenlarged, at least one column to the\npage, it would undoubtedly have a\nlarger sale in the surrounding\ncountry.\nThe provincial exhibition at New\nWestminster was opened by his\nhonor Lieut.-Gov. Mclnnes. It is\nsaid to be a magnificent show and\nto reflect great credit upon the unremitting labors of the management.\nIt was a pity that some of Uncle\nSam's Santiago veterans should return home to be shot down by Pillager redskins in peaceful Minnesota.\nI     THE OBSERVATORY.      2\nA couple of weeks since the Observer took occasion to remark on\nthe unseasonable\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdas well as unreliable\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdhour at which the north\nbound boats reach Brooklyn. What\nwas said then found a hearty echo\nin the breast of many a traveler who\nread it, but no reform could be discovered on the horizon. However,\nlast Tuesday the boat reached this\nplace before midnight, and it seemed\nas though a reform was really coming. But it was surely too good to\nbe true, and we doubt not that,\nbefore these lines are in type, the\nfloating palaces that plow the foaming billows up the Arrow lakes will\nfall into old habits again. But we\nshall see. We hope we are mi.'\ntaken.\n\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdf \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\nTHe carlessness of many laborers\nabout  blasting   is,   indeed, (Worse\nthan criminal\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdif it could be. Travelers on the tote road, as a rule,,\nhave no protection or warning whatever, and often rush into great\ndanger without knowing it. The\nother day Mail Carrier Torney was\nforced to dismount and seek shelter\nbehind a tree from the shower of\nrocks that, surrounded him. And\nhis is but one case out of many. If\nthe men responsible endangered\nonly their own lives it would not be\nso reprehensible, perhaps.\n\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\nContractor Boomer, whose work\nis almost entirely above the tote\nroad, informs the Observer that the\nrecklessness of his men about this\nmatter is the worry of his life. He\nhas issued the strictest orders repeatedly that two men are to be\nsent down the road, one each way,\nto warn wayfarers when blasting is\nabout to begin. Sometimes one is\nsent, but more often none, and this\ncriminal work still goes on.\n\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\nThe Observer has a remedy to\noffer. Inasmuch as the killing off\nof one or two of their number does\nnot seem to abate the reckless carelessness among the workmen, why\nnot try a good strong dose of justice.\nIf one of the men failed to go as\nordered were to spend about six\nmonths in the provincial jail, to consider it, every one of the other 3000\nand odd laborers would learn of it\nand take no chances of receiving a\nsimilar sentence.

J. Fred Hume, the newly\nappointed minister of mines, has\nissued instructions barring gold\ncommissioners, mining recorders\nand their employees from dealing\nin mineral claims of any sort. The\nonly condition under which an exception will be allowed is in the\ncase of mineral properties already\nowned by the officials to be affected\nby the new rule. A statement of\nall such holdings must be filed at\nonce with the minister.\nWhat a farce the prohibition\nplebiscite has been. Fancy a wide\nopen mining camp like Rossland\ngiving a majority in favor ot prohibition. Of course the better informed know that the whole business was only a political trick and\ngot up by the Conservative party to\nembarass the government.
