Mr. Stauber spends very\nfew idle moments, Ho bus u silver\nmine, on which ho has dono ull tho\nassessment work this summer, a large\nranch, and also limls time to make\ntrails, go trapping, and do a great\ndeal of prospecting.\nMr. Law, of Golden, who has been\nauthorized to collect specimens of\nmineral from the two Kootenays for\nthe Chicago fair, called at this ollico\nou Wednesday. Ho will make up a\nfine collection of ores from tbe Lardeau and Sloean. Speaking of the\nMineral Act, Mr, Law thinks the\npresent law would bo all right with\na little alteration, Three stakes\nshould bo plaoed along tho ledgo,\neach outside stake 750 feet from the\ncentre ono, which should be recognizable to all-comers as tbe \"centre\nslake.\" This would always render\nthe finding of tbe boundaries of the\nclaim au easy job, Locators should\nbe allowed to follow the dip right or\nleft, Mr. Law promised to give his\nviews on the subject iu these columns\nshortly.\nTHE MINING LAWS\nCondemned tit a Meeting of\nMiners.\nA meeting of prospectors and\nothers interested in mining was held\nat the Schoolhouse, Revelstoke, last\nSaturday night for the purpose of\ndiscussing the working of the Mineral\nAct of 1892. Mr. F. Fraser waa\nelected chairman and Mr. J.Thomson\nsecretary, There was a good attendance, a large number of miners and\nprospectors beiug in town.\nMr. J. M. Kellib, M, P. P. for\nWest Kootenay, explained that the\nchanges were made in the miuing\nlaws becauso of petitions from other\ndistricts. Ho thought the present\nAct was a move in tho wrong direction, and had opposed some portions\nof it in committee. It should bo\naltered or repealed. He quoted au\niustiiuce at a certain mine where, at\n2,500 feet, tbo vein had doparted throo\nquarters of a milo from the perpeu-\ndiculur.thus showing that tho vortical\nsido liues enforced by the Aet of 1802\nwould bo liable to lead to loss aud\ndisaster. Ho was strougly opposed\nto men staking claims without finding mineral iu place. Ho did not\nthink it right that prospectors should\nbe limited to two claims in a district.\nIt usually occurred that a great per.\ncentago of claims located turned out\nto be worthless, and often after doing\nassessment work on his locations tho\nprospector hud nothing to show for\nit, aud the summer goue. Mr. Kellie\nexpressed the opiniou that these\nmeetings were the best means of\nbringiug their grievances to tho\nfront. They were uearly all practical miners and knew what they\nwanted, and he pledged himself to\ndo his utmost in tho Assembly to\nobtain the ohanges they desired iu\ntho present mining laws. (Applause)\nMr. J. W. HaisKiaS's, who had just\narrived from the Lardoau, was woll\nreceivod. He gavo it as his opinion\nthat the obi laws were better tbau\ntho uew. Amoug other things ho\nsaid no suow locatious should be\nallowed, as it very often kept out\nbetter men thau tho smart locators,\nNo oue should bo permitted to stake\na claim without finding, ut least, one\nof the walls. As for tho vortical\nlimit, bo had worked iu the Corn-\nstock, and had the owners of that\nphenomenal miue been confined to\nvortical sido linos thoy could uever\nhuvo taken out tho millions thoy did,\nfor at a depth of less than 3,000 feet\nthe vein was fully three-quarters of\na milo from the perpendicular. A\nminer should not bo deprived of bis\nlead because his ledge dipped outside ol bis side liues. (Appiuuso )\nMr. T. Downs spoke very strongly\nagainst the present Act. Ho said\nprospectors Bboiild be oompellod to\nplace locution notices on their lodgos.\nUnder the present system a man\nmight be working lor weeks ou a\nledge that was already located.\nMr. L. MoDonald said no man\ncould toll when staking a claim how\ntlio ledge would dip. It was liable\nto go far beyond bis side liue limits.\nMr. A. II. HOLDIOH (a?Hayur) was\niu favor of the old Act, and thought\nprospectors should be obliged to\nplace their stakes on the ledge, aud\nshould bu allowed to follow it iu all\nits dips, spurs and angles.\nMr. II.

As\nyet that thought has been confined to the\nframing of what may be called Domestic\nLegislation, or legislation relating to the\nhomes of the people ; but from domestic\nlegislation it is bound to spread to other\nfields of thought nnd action. The questions\nnaturally arise, How are we to account for\nj this sudden exaltation ? What causes led to\nils attainment, ami is it a natural position\nfor the province to occupy ?\nThe population of Manitoba cmsists\nlargely of the restless young spirits of\nother lands, more especially of the\nolder provinces. The vast majority of the\ninhabitants being young men who have\nconic here from a desire to advance their\nposition in life, but a great many of\nwhom ha.c come simply from a love of\nchange and a fondness for speculation. This\nspirit of fondness for change and novelty\nhas di (fused itself throughout the entire\npopulation and penetrated every walk of\nlife. The business man who has been in\nbusiness live or aix years becomes restless\nfor a change of occupation and location ;\nthe mechanic who has been employed for a\nyear or two in one place desires to move\nto some new sphere of operation ; the teach-\nit is a -'rent ( cl. yvho conliuues to teach for over two years\nis a rare specimen of the knight of the\nrod; while the preacher yyho in the cast\nwould spend a life time with one (lock\nwithout cither Hock or pastor becoming desirous of a change, here seeks fresh\n| fields and pastures new at least every four\nand the Hocks rarely raises any\nserious objections to the change ; even the\nfarmers, who would bo expected to settle\ndown and become attached to one locality\nas they do in other lands, are here given to\nroam.

Ihe I'.ill.vny.\nWhen the Czar travels in Russia the pre-\n.'tuitions taken for his safety could not be\n.neater if he were in an enemy's cjunlry.\nA battalion of infantry is detailed for\nevery two miles of distance, and allowing\n',00 men as the effective foree of each battalion, every spot uf ground on both sides\nof the track is covered by sentinels within\neasy distance of each other. The C\/.ar is\nsuddenly whirled off to the station accompanied by the chosen tr.'elve of his body\nguard without pomp or circumstance, swiftly and silently. The Czar always travels\nin a train of five carriages. His carriage is\nbuilt in a peculiar style.\nThe windows, while ample for light, are\nhigh, so that a person sitting down is invisible from the outside, and the sides of the\ncar are fortified with plates concealed in the\nornamental woodwork, but strong enough\nto resist a bullet.\nThere are two sentry boxes in the carriage, one at each end, and each looking\nout at an opposite side from the other. The\nguardsmen on duty in these apartments are\nshut in from any observation of the interior\nof the carriage, but at intervals of about\ntwo feet, the whole length of the saloon,\nare electric buttonsoommunicatins wiih the\nguard chambers, its well ae with the two\ncarriages, one containing the suite and the\nother, in the rear, occupied by the guardsmen not on duly.\nSolar, therefore as the train itself is concerned, the Czar could be uo more secure ia\nSt. Petersburg,\nThe train speeds on to its destination,\nwithout a halt, except on account of accident, At a distance of not less than five\nmiles ahead is a pioneer train, in which the\nImperial Director of Railways and the engineer of the particular railway ou which\nthe Czar is travelling always ride. As the\npilot train whizzes by, the reserves along the\nline rush to arms and guard the sides of the\nrailway, waiting until the Imperial train\nhas passed, so that the spectacle is present\nof continuous lines of soldiery for hundreds\nof miles. Arrived at the end of his journey,\nthe Czar is escorted to the quarters intended\nfor the Imperial family.\nThe streets arc guarded by special constables in the attire of citizms. Every\nproperty owner has been called upon to supply one or more of these men at his own\nexpense to do duty when tbe\nmakes a public appearance.\nThe constables average one in ten of the\ncrowd that throngs the streets, and being\niu ordinary dress they can mingle with the\npeople, note what is said, \ufffd\ufffdnd, perhaps, do\nsomething that will obtain them regular\nemployment among the secret police.\nWith one-tenth of the population engaged\nas spies upon the remainder, with troops\nenouc.li concentrated to stand a formidable\nsiege, and his faithful guardsmen dogging\nevery step, the Czar goes through the lorms\nof a visit to the ancient capital of Russia or\nwhatever city he may choose to honour.\nvereigu\nThe Paper Age-\nThe world has seen its iron age and its\nbrazen age, but this is the age of paper,\nsays the Paper Record. We are making so\nmany things of paper that it will soon be\ntrue that without paper there is nothing\nmade.

We want a few\ntnore Jim Wardners in tbis district.\n, It is not likely that the wagon\ntoad will go through tbis fall. I\nhave this item on the most reliable\nauthority. It is stated that the\nGovernment, haviug disposed of the\nWhole of the New Denver townsite,\nhave now no furthor interests to\nserve and have withdrawn from their\nformer offer. If this be true, Slocuu\nand Nakusp, and Revelatoke, too,\nshould make it uncomfortable for\nthe Government oundidatu at the\nnext election. There a probability\nthat the C.P.R. will make a sleigh\nroad for winter uso.\nBourne Bros., merohants, of Revelstoko and Nakusp, have bought out\nHunter k MoKiunon, general merchants, New Denver, and will continue the business iu that city under\nthe able management of Mr. Frank\nBourns. Mr. Wilson will take charge\n\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdf the store at Nakusp. Messrs.\nHunter k MoKiunon are the owners\nof the new propeller on Sloean Luko\nand will devote the whole of their\ntime to the boat.\nAmong the facilities whioh Nakusp\nis badly in need of is a whuff.

While now >\nthree-fourths of the Slooan trade\npass through Nakusp, if we had a\nwharf tbe other fourth would soon\nfollow. Tbe only hope we havo is\nthat when the people who bought\nloll on the instalment plan make\ntbeir second payment tho company\nwill see fit to expend a portion of\nthe money in building a wharf that\nwill meet tbe requirements of tbe\nfast growing traffic of the district.\nA petition has been circulated and\nlargely signed by the citizens praying for the removal of the post-office\nfrom the Hotel Nakusp to Bourne\nBros.' store. Two considerations\nhave rendered this step necessary ;\nFirBt, many people object to passing\nIbe bar-room for their letters, more\nespecially ladies ; second, ou account\nof inconvenience of situation, the\npresent location being out of tbe way\nfor tbe majority of tbe inhabitants\nand visitors.\nNakusp is still spreading itself.\nThree new cottages are in course of\nelection, oue a neat and roomy building for Mr. and .Mrs. II.
