NOTICE The recent interview 'between.Premier Davie and the deputation of the South Kootenay Board of Trade is ..bearing its fruit. , From private sources it has been learned that the Gold Commissioner has been instructed to select twenty-five government lots in Nelson, and have them put on the market pursuant to the suggestion of tine Board of Trade delegation, so as to give those desiring homesteads a chance to procure them. The premier has also made a suggestion to the effect, that the Canadian Pacific Railway. company pursue the same policy. It is likely that a C. P. R. sale will follow. Respecting the sewer construction it is altogether likely that the C. P. R. company will commence work in the immediate future as the company's officials are said to be quit*? willing to go ahead with the work.. The matter of appointing a Justice of the Peace for New Denver is receiving | departmental consideration and the creation of a new JV P. may be expected shortly. \"We have driven.\" said he, \"a tunnel. | ft j W []]}]( (J$ jjjj AuAIN in the coal claim over 140 feet long, ancl ' are now 35 feet below the surface.

Mr. Halleck was informed of the incident, by Capt. John Wilkinson, who, in 1S18, was sailing-master of the slopp-of-war Saratoga, commanded by Captain D. D. Far- ragut. While the Saratoga was lying at Sacrificios, off the coast of Mexico, in April of that year, she was hailed one dark night by a launch, and the party being duly admitted on board proved to be Midshipman Beale . of .California (afterward General E. F. Beale), who had just crossed Mexico, disguised as an English lieutenant, bringing the first specimens of gold from the new El Dorado. Up' to that time the discoveries on the Pacific Coast had not been made known, and it was the report brought by Beale which stimulated the gold fever all over the country and laid the foundation of San Francisco and of his own financial success. It .was a feat of great daring to cross such an uncharted country as Mexico, Avhile still writhing under the bitterness of defeat after the close of the Mexican war, when Americans so recently drew reprieves of,life ' by the chances of a lottery in which black and white beans were the arbiters of destiny.

There is nothing in the air which can lead anyone to believe that the Slocan country is going to be anything like quiet. The indications at present point to a most active season. The Mountain Chief is putting out from eight to ten tons a day of good shipping ore. Of this output fifteen tons per week is being hauled to Kaslo. There are about twenty men employed in this mine. The owners of the Washington have ordered 15,000 ore sacks from a local merchant, and baye let a contract for hauling of 1000 tons from the mine to Kaslo. There are forty men employed on the Washington and they will in all probability be kept employed during the winter.' _ ( ;' _ -_. ..--.., ..There have been no shipments from the Slocan Star but. extensive development work which continues to demonstrate the great value of the property as it continues to improve each day. There is COO tons on the dump at present. On this property there are thirteen men.

The Idaho has a dozen men at work and is awaiting the arrival of ore sacks to commence shipping ore. The. Al.mo has made application for a large consignment of ore sacks and it also will ship ore. GOOD COAL PROSPECTS Uogle on the Crisis- A lecture on \" The silver question and its connection with the Financial crisis,\" will be given next Thursday night by D. B. Bogle in the hall used by the Methodist church. The subject is an interesting one to citizens of Nelson at the present time and should secure a good audience to hear it discussed. Elier C, Smith representing the,Stevens County Standard, of Colville, Washington, paid the Miner a visit during the week. He is taking in the country in the interests of his paper, and will visit the World's Fair before returning home. The president is home again working like a beaver, and in a short time numerous souls will be made happy with appointments to office. President Cleveland is a man, of his word. Men voted as he wanted them to vote, and he will not delay the favors they have asked o_ ihim. The president said'yesterday, that his recommendation's would be carried out in the senate. He had' no.fear as to the results. For a time after Voorhees made his notorious speech in the senate it was whispered that presidential' patronage was not all that induced him to make such a supreme demagogic effort, bub that he was in the employ of certain persons and received a consideration for hVs effort. It is not whispered any more but is openly charged. It is the talk of lobbies, and no vehement denials .have been made. Voorhees made no friends by that speech, but lost every friend lie had. It would have been an ignoble\" effort for^-'a- fourth-class police court shyster. Hill is excusing himself to silver,men for his speech. He says that he went as far as he dared, for, had he gone further, he would have been ground to pieces by men in New York, This is supposed by some to mean that Hill is financially em harassed, and had he come out boldly againsc \"repeal li is New xork\" creditors, would have closed in on him. But Hill, is tricky. One never knows when he tells the truth, if he ever does. , \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd The bitter antagonism against silver by republicans of eastern and middle states has angered western republicans, who say that they will not aid their eastern brethren when the onslaught is made upon the tariff. Good politicians admit that eastern republicans made a serious mistake in not joining forces with free coinage democrats against the administration. It was not only poor policy, but poor politics. It has estranged the west from.the east and the end will be as much suffering for the east as that sought to be inflicted upon the. west. Senator Vance made a magnificent speech against repeal and in favor of free coinage yesterday. A large part of his speech was devoted to showing the inconsistencies of friends of repeal, both from a partisan view and the bimetallic declarations in both platforms, He argued with Senator Wolcott that unconditional repeal would be death to silver. The effect on the condition of mankind following the destruction of half the^ currency would be impossible to describe. If silver should cease to live through the commercial nations, the fall in price would be greater than the stopping of coinage, in India. MONSTER IRON COMBINE VI OTJCE IS HEREBY GIVK^ TIJAT A..S.

Y- LAI IS THE TOWNSITE OF With the increased facilities for transportation of freight in the ranges there is no longer any necessity for. prospectors to come down to the lake for stores, the pack trains being able to take goods almost to the claims for a comparatively small consideration. Bush fires i are many and frequent though hitherto they have not been of a dangerous character. The bush between Harrison's assay office and the old camp has been completely burnt down, and Hard Scrabble Flat has been for the past ten days, a perfect sea of flame. Trees of immense size, many of them ten* and twelve feet in diameter, are continually falling with a noise like thunder, sending up showers of sparks and fiery ' fragments, which set fire to other trees, and so keep up the conflagration. Gilbert Ban ken has been hard at work for some days burning fire breaks to prevent the fires from reaching the Arrow Lake trail and dropping burning trees upon the unwary traveller. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Some excitement has been caused by the report, as yet unconfirmed, that the Canadian government intends to withdraw bills of small denominations from circulation and replace them with silver dollars, purchasing the bullion from British Columbia. Mr. Coffin, the New York banker who has been hunting in this vicinity left yesterday. Although his bag was but a small one, he expresses himself delighted with the' country, and declares his intention of returning, next. year. A. Cassell is still prospecting on the east range, and is reported to have made a big discovery, but declines to furnish particulars. . Another find of nickel has been-made but the fortunate discoverer refuses to have his ore assayed in the district, so no particulars are obtainable. The ore appears to be rich. Messrs. Bourke and Cague, both thoroughly experienced placer* miners leave tomorrow for the Forks of the Lardeau for the purpose of trying the creek for gold. They will take with them a quant ity of mining appliances, and the general. Opinion is that they will be successful. Messrs. Harrison and Barchard have been mining in the canyon. After a week's hard work they struck a pocket and were rewarded for their labor* by finding two nuggets, one of ' which weighs three grains, and the other two and a half. The Silver Cup trail will be completed to-day and the men are expected down to-morrow. . R. E. Mannsell is now able to get about again with the aid of a crutch.

The Streets are Thronged With Excited Crowds. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdg^ \\m At w Gladstone's long home rule 'fight in the commons is ended. The bill passed at 1 o'clock last Saturday morning, 301 to 267. It was hurried to the house of lords, which gave the first reading and adjourned. ; The galleries'.'.of the house were filled long before the sitting opened, a large number of ladies being present. The premier was loudly cheered by his followers as he walked to his seat. The galleries also gave him a warm greeting. Justin McCarty opened the debate, speaking on the same lines as Dillon last, night. Chamberlain followed. He said the bill struck a deadly blow at the honor and interests of the country, hut (he could hot avoid being filled with admiration at the courage, resolution, resources and eloquence of the prime minister. Chamberlain spoke over an hour, and. his address was a,brilliant one. He was frequently applauded, and utilized the opportunity to pay off many old scores against the Irish and Liberal members. o When Balfour arose to speak, the house was filled to overflowing. He spoke for more than an hour. He said the government's insane action has done more than 100 Tory governments had done to demonstrat the necessity for a house of. lords as a hulwark of the greatness and interests of the empire. John Morley, chief secretary for Ireland, spoke bitterly of the tactics of the opposition. He said there was a great party in Great Britain determined that Ireland should no longer be the cock-pit of England's factions. After many other speeches a division was had upon Courtney's amendment to reject the bill, and it was defeated. The bill was then put upon its third reading and pased. The full import of the occasion was felt by all, and the culmination was accompanied by rounds of frantic cheers from the galleries and upon the floor. Gladstone received a fresh ovation as he left the house. The scenes in front of the house after midnight were exciting. The knoledge that the vote was to be taken attracted a large crowd. Many Irishmen were in the.throng, and the sentiment of the crowd was generally for home rule and Gladstone, This was expressed in many ways by singing \"Wearing of the Green\" \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd'God save Ireland,\" cheering for Gladstone and hooting Balfour. When the announcement that the house had passed the bill was received the crowd went wild. The police vewe alarmed at the antics, and a cordon was drawn before the members exit, The crowd surged around the cabs and carriages, and each member of any distinction on being recogoized was given a cheer. When Gladstone's carriage came out a number of mounted police instantly surrounded it, but the crowd when they learned who was in the carriage, became beyond controll, ancl breaking through the cordon stopped the carriage and lSeld it, while they cheered the premier to lije echo. The coachman was enabled to proceed after a few minutes, but by this time the entire crowd left their positions and started after the carriage, which was again stopped at the corner of Downing street, and detained while the crowd cheered and sang \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd'Lo, the Conquering Hero Comes, \" Gladstone bowed right and left to his enthusiastic admirers and was greatly touched by the fervor of the people. The police again cleared the way and the carriage was allowed to proceed to his residence without further stoppage. Mr. Gladstone handed Mrs. Gladstone out, and after bowing again to the crowd, disappeared. When the first reading of the home rule bill was moved in the house of lords by Earl Spencer, there wera only six- Liberal and one Opposition peer present. The proceedings occupied less than five minutes. 3g- i .4 4 f 3- 1 > A new Railway under Construction. Buy before the Market rises in the Railway .

At all their feasts and merrymakings, just when the fun and enjoyment was at the highest, it was the custom to have the slaves of the household bring in a mummy case holding the form of some ancestor of the giver of the feast. The idea was to remind those present that when mirth was at the highest, Death stood ever at the elbow. Sober-minded and staid, these old people believed that there was no better incentive to good and right-living, than keeping continually in mind the fact that death only was certain, and stood ever near. I believe that the mind becomes a little flushed and feversh at times, Restless from the lingering disease adversity, pi- suffering from the high temperature of success. In such cases I'know of no better medicine, no panacea for the \"fever and fire of the brain\" that equals astroll into a cemetary. There need be nothing morbid about the feeling. Stoll in some time when the grey of the evening is com ing on. Unless you are beyond all hope, I think it will do you good. Under that stately marble shaft lies a man greater in life than ynuean ever hope to be. Would you change places with him now? Not for all those glowing sentences carved on the tablets of his tomb? Over there in an obscure corner rests a rotting splinter of the board that once held the name of someone who would gladly have changed places with you in life. It does not seem to matter much to either now, nor will it to you sometime when you join them. inscription as the simple one, too common throughout the Southern Stares, \"To the Unknown, Dead.\" Gathered from fields plowed with rpundshot, mown with lead, the ghastly harvest of death was winnowed in long trenches, and one monumentserved alike for all. How'many. Southern.' wives and mothers started from their dreams as in fancy came, the well remembered step of him who walked only in the. Valley of \"the Shadow. How many Northern sisters and sweethearts wept and wondered where he stayed, Side by side, and no less sound, they slumber, though Fame has failed to offer up their deeds to History's page. All they had was freely given. No general, carrying the fate of a nation in his teeming brain, has offered a more acceptable libation at the altar of Liberty and Human Rights than these who, in the wild charge up into the black muzzled battery's smoke, or in the savage reek of crossed bayonets, went down to help fill one of these trenches whiclx break with their long,swell the surface of the fair southern land.

I have always been struck with the way a man's stock goes up in the world after h? is safely out of it. It is certainly wrong to say that one \"goes down in the grave.\" If you will glance over some of the. inscriptions on the last resting places of almost any of your old acquaintances, it is quite probable that you will find that they have \"gone up\" instead of down, and that too in a most wonderful manner. John Smith, a very ordinary fellow, given to a \"wee drop\" too much, known to have blacked his wife's eye once or twice, a terror to his children, prone to forget his little debts, and a churchgoer for the sake of appearances and the soft pew cushions, must be an astonished man sometime when he wanders back to see how things are geting on, to find that he is \"A kind and gentle husband, a loving father, and a faithful follower.\" All of which reminds me of the story of the matter-of-fact widow. \"And what will you have on it? asked the man when she had selected a plain slab, and had $6 knocked off on account of a small crack in one corner. \"Well, lem'me see. I dont want any poetry, and them fiddle-de-dee. Put on something plain and solid, like this: WILLIAM BROWN AGED 76 \"The Good die Young\" I think I have always had a sneaking sympathy with the feelings of the man who, after reading over the record of one whose stock had gone up to a wonderful degree, cast a glance around, and climbed over the fence, and with a lump of red chalk added a P. S. to this wifect. \"Here lies his body, for his soul you must search a deeper hole.\" After all I do not think that I. have ever been so strongly impressed by any T have seen many monuments erected to heroes whom people delight to honor, but upon them I have never read an epitaph that impressed like one. I often recall. Away out on the Wyoming plains is a mighty sink called Goshen Hole. It has an appeare.nce as if a section of the level prairie some ten or twelve miles long and four or five wide, had suddenly dropped down several hundred feet below the surrounding plain. The walls are perpendicular, and the flats below can only be reached through an occasional pass worn down by the surface water from above.. It was just before the days of the trans-continental railroad yand a party of engiueers under a guide, Jim .Robinson, were exploring the country. One day they wandered too far north, and were making* back to the main camp, when they were pursued by a band of the roving Sioux. Across the level sink they raced, and soon the frowning walls were close at hand, but thundering at their heels were the howling savages* The guide slackened rein as the pass was reached. \"Keep due south boys. I'll give them a check and join you in a few minutes.\" When the train returned in haste a few hours later they found him weak and almost dead, but still holding the pass. The painted devils made off at the first show of an increased force, but it.was too late. The great and heroic soul had fled. A grave was hollowed out under a twisted pitch pine that grew on the edge of the pass. Years after the spot was pointed out to me, and all that still remains of his brief history retailed by the guide. Alighting from our horses, we approached the spot. Wind swept and torrent washed, the sturdy pine still stands, and on its bark some wandering nomad like him who sleeps below has carved: JIM bobi>\\son G-UIDE \"ITc don't Make Men any Whiter.\" BPuA-TCECES: Canada\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdVictoria, \"Vancouver, New Westminster, Nan aim o and Kamloops.

C, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1893. ALUMINIUM'S USES. Indications that the Useful Metal is Becoming Common aitri Cheap. The appearance of aluminium cooking utensils,in the windows of hardware arid' grocery stores of San Francisco suggests the fact that the metal is becoming both common and cheap. We may expect that it will eventually become as useful an the household as tin or granite ware, and probably it will be found that it is \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdquite.as durable. Aluminium, though light, is nearly five times heavier than the lightest metal of somewhat similar kind, namely lithium, but all the other metals of the earths and alkalies are 'marked by-their too great combustibility, of which property the photographer .'.avails himself in magnesium, whence he obtains his flash light. Aluminium alone seems to be useful for mechanical purposes, and, it is said, does not corn-, ibine-with mercury, but there does not seem to be a field for it either in quality -or price as the substitute for iron, Aluminium has been probably vastly overrated as a material for heavy structures, as bridges, etc., but this is no fault of.the metal. In this connection it is interesting to mote\"-a press dispatch from Duluth, \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdMinn., August 23d, declaring that a lo- -cal chemist has found a process for obtaining aluminium from its own oxide. The \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd^discoverer of this process and his Duluth associates say that, they can pro-\" be a Town on Toad Mountain. ii the balance in Six Months. ut 35\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd feet from the Silver King is is the only Available Spot- srd in Three Months, and For Fnrtlier Particulars Apply to any Kelson Real Estate Men, or to 9 ran ieneral Agent.

Just at the present time the question is frequently asked as to what is meant by the expression 16 to 1 used in referenceSto \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdthe ratio value of gold and silver. In this scale the following values would result : The legal dollar consists of 412.5 grains of standard silver, the legal gold dollar 25.8 \"grains of standard gold. Both are nine- tenths.pure, one-tenth alloy. The silver \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffddollar therefore contains 371.25 (432.5 min- _s. 41.25) grains pure silver, 41.25 grains .-alloy. The gold dollar contains 23.22 (25.8 minus 2.58) grains pure gold. The weight \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdof silver in one dollar is therefore 15.98 times the weight of gold, or practically 16 times the weight of gold. \/^Nominally 16 ounces of silver and one \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdounce of gold are the same value. At the ratio of 20 to one the silver dollar would contain 464.40 grains of pure silver, or' 516 \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdgrains of staudard silver, twenty times the weight of the gold dollar, and the silver when coined, would be worth $1.03. per ounce, or over 26 cents per ounce less than its present value.

An opal ranking as'third among the finest in the world is described as having three longitudinal bands of the harlequin kind1, froiAi the upper most of which arose perpendicularly the most resplendent flames.: It measured nine inches by six. In t!he last century a very round and brilliant opal was the property of the amateur Pleury. . Another, said to be facinatingTy vit\/i'd, was owned by a noted French financier. These two were regarded as marvals of beauty among gems. . On account of the thousand fis-. sures of the stone, engraving is always difficult and often impossible.
