JUNO 25,\nTHREE FORKS, BRITISH COLUUSIA, FRIDAY, JANUARY I!, 1835,\nPRICE TEN CENTS,\nSLOCAN LEADS\nIhe Record Broken. Largest Shipments of\nOre Ever Made is British Colpliu,\nFIFTY-FOUR CARS LOADED\nIn Two Weeks. 810 Tons Having an\nAggregate Value of Over 8100,000.\nTht, Output Continues! and\nWill Increase.\nLarge shipments of ore have\n.been the rule ever since the tra,ck\nof the Nakusp & Slocan railway\nwas laid into the Slocan, but since\n*'\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd the fall of snow which has facilitated rawhiding and sledding the\namount of ore that has been\nbrought to the Three Forks depot\nand concentrator spur, loaded on\ncars and shipped, has broken all\nprevious records of ore shipments\nin British Columbia, and entitles\nthis mining district to the name of\nthe Treasure Vault of the Province.\nDuring the two weeks included\nbetween December 26 and January\n8 fifty-four cars were loaded with\npre at the Three Forks depot and\nat the concentrator spur one mile\nbelow, and sent on their way\nthrough Nakusp and Revelstoke to\nthe smelters.\nThe ore was from different mines\nas follows:\nIdaho 25 cars,\nSlocan Star 14 care,\nCumberland 7 cars,\nReco 3 cars,\nNoble Five 2 cars,\nLast Chance 2 cars,\nIvanhoe 1 car,\nTotal ... 54 cars.\nThe amount loaded on each car\nis 15 tons, making a total of 810\ntons,\nTo these shipments from Three\nForks should be added about 200\ntons from the Payne, Blue Bird,\nSurprise, Goodenough and Dar-\ndardanelles which have gone out\nby way of Kaslo, making the entire shipments from the Slocan\ndistrict during the two weeks commencing Dec, 26th and ending Jan,\n8th over one thousand tons and\nworth $125,000.00.\nNone of the ore shipped will go\nJess than 100 oz. in silver, while\nthat from the Reco, Goodenough\nand Dardanelles is so very high\nthat it will bring the general average of the thousand tons up to 125\n. oz. of silver per ton, which together\nwith an average of 75 per cent lead\nbrings the value to $125,000.00.\nThe record for heavy shipments\nis broken and Slocan leads as a\nproducer.\t\nSnow slides will come during\nthe next few weeks where they\nnever came before.\nTrail creek ore is worth from $30\nto $50 per ton. Slocan ore is\nworth from $100 to $300 per ton.\nUnder the heading \"Right from\nKootenay\" the Toronto Globe contains a column interview with\nWm.

The Globe states that Mr.\nHarrison has a good collection of\nore specimens which may be Been\nat 151 Yonge St., Toronto.

Having been\nrepudiated by the Slocan it has\nfound a newer, and to its way of\nthinking, a fairer face. It has\ngone daft on trail creek. It now\ndishes up its mining reports in\nsuch a way as to give the Slocan\nas many slaps as possible.\nIn the Tribune of January 5,\n1895, at the top of the first column\nof the first page under the heading\n\"The MineB and Their Output\" appears what purportB to be a list of\nthe shipments of ore from West\nKootenay from Dec. 26 to Jan. 5,\ninclusive. In that list and during\nthat time the Slocan is credited\nwith shipping just one car of ore.\nAs a matter of fact over forty carloads of ore were shipped from\nThree Forks and the concentrator\nspur during the time covered by\nthe Tribune's dates. Such a manifestly inexcusable wrong and unreliable statement as that made by\nthe Tribune never before appeared\nin any British Columbia paper.\nThe Tribune may hoo-doo certain localities, but it cannot injure\nin the least the \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd good name and\nestablished fame of the Slocan\nmining district,\nSNOW SLIDES.\nAvalanches, of the Beautiful Come Roll'\nine and Pushintt\nDOWN THE MOUNTAIN SIDES.\nPubllo Roada Obstructed aud Travel\nImpeded.

All the conditions favored snow slides.\nThe first avalanche was from\nnear tlfe Noblq Five mine and\ncame down the Noble Five gulch.\nW. S. Xinney was at the Sovereign\nat the time, a few hundred yards\nfrom the gulch and he describes the\nroaiingof the rushing pile as it\ntore away rocks and trees in its\ndescent as terrific. A hill of snow,\nsimilar to the one seen there last\nyear and containing millions of\ntons, is now piled up at the mouth\nof the gulch.'\nA slide has come down on the\nopposite side and covered the\nwagon road near Cody creek for a\ndistance of six hundred feet.\nThe Freddy Lee slide, that kijled\ntwo men two years ago, is down\nbut it is not known that anyone\nwas near it when it came.\nThe road between Three Forks\nand Sandon was blocked by snow,\nwhich it required two days to\nshovel out.\nIn the gulch opposite the concentrator a slide came down with\ntremendous force and tried to\nclimb up the bank on the south\nside of the creek.\nThe Idaho wagon road was obstructed in many places, and shoveling succeeded teaming on that\nimportant freight road. A large\nslide came oo the route followed by\nthe slide of two years ago.\nThe stage which left Three Forks\nfor Kaslo Thursday morning did\nnot get farther than Bear Lake.\nThere the driver encountered a\nsnow slide, left his sled and returned with the horses to Three\nForks. Friday morning he took\nout some shovelers to dig out his\nsled, He can get no farther today.\nSeveral slides are down between\nMcDonalds and Sproules and the\nstage from Kaslo is not expected\nbefore Monday.\nIt is reported that a slide has\ncovered the Eureka mine on Bear\ncreek, and that Jack McMillan who\nwas there alone was caught in it\nand lost. It cannot be learned today whether the report is true or\nnot. \t\nWork is progressing this week on\nthe steam laundry building.\nDavid Whitley is down from the\nCentral, as blithe and merry as a\nbird, and ready to take a hand in\nthe first enterprise that offers.\nMrs. Schroeder is having the\nBecker house lined, papered and\nfurnished throughout and on the\nfirst of next month will open a\nfirst-class boarding house.\nEd Sutton fell down stairs at\nChas.

Just\nwhat it is intended shall be done\nwith the money if obtained has\nnot transpired.\nAt the Pacific.\nNotwithstanding the inclement\nweather and obstructed roads\nwhich prevented attendance from\na distance, there were many re\nsponses to Mr. and Mrs. Terrill's\ninvitations to attend a ball at the\nPacific Hotel, Thursday evening\nBesides Mrs. Terrill's two attractive and accomplished daughters,\nthe Misses Dryden, there were\npresent Mrs. Norquay, Mrs. Lawry,\nMrs. Williams, Mrs. Bemis and\ntwo daughters, Mrs. Muir and\nother ladies, and any number of\ngentlemen. It was voted a very\npleasurable occasion. An elegant\nsupper was served by Bartlett &\nCronin.\nHum Collapsed.\nAt ten o'clock Thursday eve\nword was passed around town that\nMike McAndrews' burn had broken\ndown under the heavy snow that\nhad banked upon the roof, and\nthat his horses and mules were\nheard groaning under debris.\nA score of men were soon shoveling away the snow and chopping\nthe planks loose. In a short time\none horse or mule after another\nwere dug out until all, five in number, were rescued. All were abie\nto get up and walk off, The crowd\nthen came off up town intending to\nreturn next day and 6ee if Mile\nwere under the remaining part of\nthe rubbish.\nMore Demand for Coal.\nThe increasing demand for\nWashington coal iB leading to\nlively prospecting and opening up\nof the mines which have been\nworking on only moderate time\nfor the past two years, and it is\nevident that tbd coal interests of\nthe state will soon become as\nwidely known as those of any\nother state.\nCoal mining in Whatcom county\nis no experiment, but there are\nnew fields being constantly opened\nup. The demand for the coal is\nincreasing and orders from the\nnavy department for steamer coaling has assumed considerable proportions.

P, PRATT.\nVlHY <;OLl) IS WITHHELD,\nThe country has not only witr\nnessed and endured the demonetization and partial disuse of one-\nhalf of the world's currency, but\nwhat is even worse the withdrawal\nand hoarding of the other half.\nFor two years gold has not circulated freely. It passes otyiftly\nalong the veins but refuses to\nreturn through the arteries of commerce. For two years few if any\nnew loans have been made. The\nreason given by capitalists for\nthus hoarding their gold is the fear\nof being repaid in a cheaper metal.\nThis is not the real reason. Contracts, existing laws and the courts\nwould secure to the capitalist payment \"according to the bond.\" The\nreal reason why gold is withheld\nis found in the fact that the demonetization of silver produces a\nstringency which will not end until all commodities are reduced one-\nhalf from bimetallic values. Of\nthis fact the capitalists are well\naware and they know too that\nwhile the process of descending to\nthe new basis of values is going on,\nnot one borrower in a hundred can\nmake money so as to repay with\ninterest. The current of depression carries all borrowers down\nstream faster than with their best\nexertions they can row up stream.\nThis, and not the fear of being\nrepaid in \"cheaper money,\" is the\ntrue reason why millions of gold\nare hoarded in the bank vaults of\nNew York and London.\nHappily (since by the inexorable decree of the world's ruler,\nShylock Rothchild, all values, except that of gold, must fall one-\nhalf) we have reached the bottom.\nThe descent was tragical and\nterrible. Ruin has been widespread. The darkest page in the\nhistory of the century has been\nwritten. But we are now on the\nlower level and are rapidly adjusting ourselves to .the new order of\nthings. Tlie country may revive\nnow, and the people, though not\nBO well provided with this world's\ngoods, may experience a season of\nreal enjoyment for\n\"Sweet is pleasure after pain.\"\nSIZES THEM UP BIGHT.\nWe think there is altogether too\nmuch of the mule's hind leg business about our contemporary here\nand its offspring at New Denver.\nNo one must say a word iu praise\nof any part of this country except\nthemselves, and if such a word is\nsaid they both begin to work that\nhind leg until, if it was only strong\nenough, which fortunately it isn't,\nthey would indeed kick the bottom\nout of everything\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdNelson Miner.\nJWT W.
