The home\nsmelters would not bo uhle to Immediately\nhandle all the available oro under Uift i<(w\nconditions- brought about by tho lead\nbounty. Tho object sought was .some mea;:s\nto provide for a temporary emergency,\nuntil local conditions were such that the\nhome plants could economically look after\nall the ore produced and its products nn a\ncommercial basis. The matter hnd been\nmost carefully considered on broad lines\nnnd all interests had been safeguarded.\nThoy specially wanted to show tlio government their appreciation of tho very\nliberal support accorded the silver-lead industry by the bounty. Some disappointment hnd been expressed at the way the\nbounty resulted so far, but really as much\nprogress had been m4|o as could be expected under the existing circumstances,\nSubstantial benefit io the province was\nbound to come in good time. The memorial\nas signed was practically In tha shape in\nwhich it appealed in The Dally News this\nmorning and he hoped that it would meet\nWith the approval of the board of trade.\nOnly a temporary arrangement was asked\nand he believed that If it was granted\nthat tho mining Industry would be placed\non a firm, reliable and permanent basis,\nas a result.

The home plants\nwould be run In full operation, otherwise\ntho smeltermen would not have joined in\nthe arrangement, but they believed that\nthe plan would result In Immediate returns that otherwise could not he got. le\nwould put them in a better condition to\nhnndle other Slocan ores more ecoiioml*\ncnlly and they considered that they wero\nacting In, the best Interests of the mining,\nsmelting and business Interests in signing\n\u25a0the agreement that they had. (Applause.)\nMr. Aldridge while agreeing fully with\nwhat Mr. Campbell had said wished to\nadd and to emphasize the point that the\ngreatest benefit would accrue to the\ncountry at largo as well as all directly\nconcerned, by the smelting, corroding and\nrefining Industries which would be necessary to handle the lead product. If this\nwould not follow ho would not havo consented to tho proposed arrangement. Corroding works were most important to Canada and some responsible Americans were\nnow willing to support a plant for Canada\nby coming Into an operating company that\nwould bo controlled hero.\nTho now arrangement would bring about\nresumption of shipments that otherwise\nwould not be made nnd this would enable the giving of better rates, Tho St.\nEugene mine would Htart up on slight\nencouragement from tho government that\nwhat was asked for would be grarftcd. A\ncontract for ore Had been already signed\nby the St. Eugcno with the home smelters and all that was wanted now was ii\nfriendly Intimation from the government.\nTho smelters under tho arrangement would\nhave all the ores ncctssary to keep them\ngoing, and tho St. Eugene had practically guaranteed tho supply: Much de.\nvelopment was n\"iw In picigiess In eher\nmines and tho smeltermen had faith that\ntho supply of ore would be forthcoming.\nRather than take tho responsibility of\nbundling the.whole available tonnage thw\nhad given better iat.es for n less quantity, Tho rate slven the St. Eugene for\nthe entire output,, was higher than thy\nono now given the mine for tho les-i\namount guaranteed.\nN.

Retallaek\npointed OUt that if low grade mines could\nho made lo produce al a profit It would\nhe the best proof of benefits derived under\nthe now arrangement. The St. Eugene\ncould not produce except under the proposed arrangement. ,\nMr. Deanc: \"How about the other low\ngrade mines.

Taylor approved of the understanding arrived at by the two classes most\ndirectly Interested. They tell us that prosperity will follow and If so we will all\nbenefit, Ho hoped the meeling would\nunanimously support the memorial.\nMr, Cronln pointed out that the situation at the St. Eugene was unusual. They\nhad agreed to guarantee the Smelters a\nsteady supply of ore, and he did not know\nof any other low grade property that was\nin a position to do Mils, ,\nMr, Hlakemnre said the proposal was a\nvery drastic one and full details should\nbe forth com tug. Had the smelters, full\ndiscretion In handling the exported oreV\nWhat about new plants?\nMr, Potter replied amid applause: \"It\nIs necessary llrst In show ore actually\ntreated before new plants will corno.

J. Deane thought that the interests\n!of the low grade miners who could ret\nnow work at the $15 rate should not be\noverlooked. It was said \"that if the memorial\nwas granted, real, material and substan\ntial advantage would result to the mines,\nto the smelters and to the public at large.\nThis had not been made clear up to the\nmoment and he hoped further explanations were forthcoming.\nMr. Blakemore asked if the first clause\nof the memorial vifas true in fact, and\nwanted other questions answered.\nMr. Garde assured the meeting that the\nflead bounty granted by the dominion government had already been of substantial\noenefit to the silver-lead mining jinlustry\nfar more so than was apparent to th\"\ncasual observer. Mines had %om on working that would certainly have closed down\nbut'for the bounty, and other properties\nhad started up which would not have\ndone so under former conditions and many\nmen were at work today wholly and solely\nthrough the operation of the bounty.\n(Applause.)\nT. G. Procter: \"I'd like to tell you one\nlittle instance, that has not appeared in\nprint. I have been interested in a little\nprospect in which $30,000 has been invested\nand spent, and under the old conditions\nwe could not raise a dollar to go on with\nWhen the bounty was granted we took\nfresh courage and today we have got\n$50,000 in the treasury and have ordered\nnew machinery and a tramway, and are\ngoing on with our development. That is\nwhat the lead bounty has done for us.\"\n(Applause.)\nMr. Aldridge assured Mr. Blakemore\nthat the lead manufacturing end of the\nquestion was a most important one. There\nwere no corroding works now but by the\nend of the year there would be, and a fair\nprice for the lead product could bo got.\nHe laid especial stress on the \"economical\"\ntreatment referred to in the memorial,\nand added'that when this feature was attended to better rates could be given the\nmines than were at all possible now.\nMr. Blakemore: \"I am satisfied.\"\nIn reply to Mr. Deane, Mr. Retallaek\npointed out that if low. grade mines could\nbe made to produce at a profit it would\nbe the best proof of benefits derived under\nthe new arrangement. The St. Eugene\ncould not produce except under the proposed arrangement. ,\nMr. Deane: \"HoW about the other low\ngrade mines. How will they benefit?\"\nMr. Retallaek: \"If the deal goes, the\nrate will be $15, if not it will be $17.\"\nS. S. Taylor approved of the understanding arrived at by the two classes, most\ndirectly interested. They tell us that prosperity will follow and if so-we will all\nbenefit. He hoped the meeting would\nunanimously support the memorial.\nMr. Cronin pointed out that the situation at the St. Eugene was unusual. They\nhad agreed to guarantee the smelters a\nsteady supply of ore, and he did not know\nof any other low grade property that was\nirf a position to do this. ,\nMr. Blakemore said the proposal was a\nvery drastic one and full details should*\nbe forthcoming. Had the smelters\" full\ndiscretion in handling the exported ore?\nWhat about new plants?\nMr. Potter replied amid applause: \"It\nis necessary first to show ore actually\"\ntreated before new plants will come. 1\nam reasonably sure that the effect of the\nnew arrangement in the next 15 months\nwill be. either that the home smelters will\nreduce their rates and Increase their capacity, or else that new plants will come\nin.\"' Sp^'lsP\nW.

During the\nday, after further consultation with the\nmine managers, they consented to bo-\ncome a party to it conditionally upon\nsome slight change In tho wording of\ncertain clauses, changes which In no\ninateilal particular affect the purport of\ntlio memorial as already published.\nTho decision arrived at by the board\nof trade was not come to hurriedly.\nThe question was carefully discussed\npro and con, and It was only after the\nmost positive assurances from the representatives of both the silver-lead\nmine owners and the smelters that tho\nproposed concession In regard to the\ndistribution of ihe bounty would not\nonly not'affect injuriously tho smeltor\ninterests, present and prospective, of\nthle tlHrlct, but would serve to stlm-\nuu.'o development of tho low grade pro-\npwtlesl that tho members gave In their\nAduerenot to the proposition.\nBriefly put, the claim is made that\nthe local smelters will, In the event of\nthe government complying with the request now made, be assured of all the\nore they can economically handle; that\nthe St. Eugene mine \"will immediately\nbe opened up again and worked to full\ncapacity, thereby \u2022 giving employment\nto between two and three hundred men:\nthat the output of the silver-lead mines\nof tho Slocan and east.Kootenay generally will-be materially increased, and\nthat a splendid impetus will be given\nto the development of properties not at\npresent being operated, and that at the\ntermination of the period during which\nthis agreement with regard to payment\nof bounty on exported ore is in effect\nthe lead mining Industry will be in such\na condition as to fully justify extensive\nadditions to existing smelting facilities.\nIn addition to these hopeful auguries it\nwas plainly Intimated by Mr. Aldridge,\nmanager of the Trail smelter, that In the\nevent of the concession asked for being\ngranted thero was a practical certainty\nof corroding works and other industries\nincidental to lead mining being established in Canada.\nThe mine owners declared that they\nwero anxious to have this concession\nmade In regard to payment of any unearned portion of the bounty on ores\nexported for treatment. The smeltermen assured tho meeling that they had\nAnally concluded that this concession so\nfar from threatening llie prosperity of\ntheir industry would really improve present conditions nnd go a long way towards building up a far greater smelting Industry In British Columbia.\nIn face of statements or this kind,\nand in view of the limited period for\nwhich tlio concession is asked, it is not\nsurprising that the board of trade\nunanimously decided to endorse the\nmemorial.\nIt may be well to recite briefly the\ngist of the request made of the government.\nThe Canadian lead smelters at present\noperating to be permitted to expoit surplus oro under tho benefits of the Lead\nBounty Act, for a period commencing\nApril 1st, 1004, to terminate 30th Juno,\n1905, provided that the amount of lead\nIn ore so exported shall not excoad 11,000\ntons of 2,000 pounds per annum.\nThe producers of aald oro to rocclve\nthu full benoflt ot tho bounty, provided\nSpecial Prices\nTROLLING RODS\ni From $2.25 up.\nSPLIT BAMBOO FLY RODS\nFrom $1.35 up,\nEXPERT REELS\nFrom 12.25 up.\nAshdown Hardware Co.\n\"Puresoap!\" You've heard\nthe words.

There was\nno desire o.n tho part of tho people of\nNewfoundland for tho Inclusion of the colony as a constituent part of the dominion.\nOn the contrary, the reply said, there'\nwas an evident desire that tho colony\nshould maintain its automony and continue to retain Its honorable and Independent position as part of-; the British\nempire. \u00bb\nMINERS MAY QUIT WORK.\nA Strike is Likely Unless Scale is Settled.\nAltoona, Pa., Mnrch 30.\u2014Representatives of the central Pennsylvania miners\nin tlio joint scale committee meeting held\nhere today virtually proffered the Indianapolis agreement of a G.5 cut and\npractically eliminated the differential\nfrom the deliberations.

Muc-\nNamara, Canadian commercial agent at\nManchester, England, there is a market\nin Great Britain for thousands of tons of\npowdered white arsenic und one firm of\ndrysalters alone, In Manchester, Is capable of'handling hundreds of tons, provided the quality and price of tho Canadian\nproduct enables them to compete for can-\ntracts. Tho principal source of supply for\n\u25a0England's requirements Is the Cornish mines, with competition from France,\nBelgium and other continental countries.\nSomo consignments have reached England\nfrom Canada, but not in such quantities as to appeal to the trade In this\nsection of tho kingdom. It Is usually\npacked in barrels containing from 3 to\n3 1-2 cwts., the barrels being Included\nin tho prlvo quoted.\nThere is considerable variation in tho\nrange of prices, quotations in tlio last\ntwo years being as low as \u00a311 0s Otl. per\nton Jiet delivered inland stations, aiid\nagain the price has been as high as \u00a315\nto \u00a318 per ton. The present quotation Is\nabout \u00a313 por ton.\nArsonopyrito is tho usual commercial\noro from which arsenic is obtained. The\nprocess for Its reduction Is by heating the\noro in carthwaro retorts or tubes laid\nhorizontally in a long furnace. \u25a0\u25a0 As arsenic\nIs qulto volatile on heating, It condenses\nin tho iron tube in a coherent crystallne\nmass. In which condition it may bo detached from tho tube when the lutter is\nunrolled.\nThero Is a great deal of arsenic in tlio\nores of thoRossland camp and also in tho\nores of other portions of the mining sections of British Columbia. In the year\n1902 tho amount of nrsenlo produced in\nCanada was SOO tons valued at (48,0000. It\nIs usually a by product of mining and\nso far not much attention has been paid\nto it in' this suction.
