Keith Reiil has recently returned\nfroni Rossland nfter about a week's\nabsence from Nelson and reports that,\noutside of the lending mines, things\nare rather quiet in the inining world\nthere. When asked by a Miner reporter\nus to the. showing on the Granite and\nKoyul Canadian, two groups on Eagle\ncreek of which lie is in charge, Mr.\nReid was able to give a most satisfactory report.\nOn the Granite a double compartment shaft is being sunk, which has\nso far attained a depth of 90 feet. The\nledge which is between four and live\nfeet wide shows no sign of narrowing,\nandvery satisfactory returns have been\nobtained from it. The average returns\nfrom samples taken from time to time\nis ifilO per ton. The ore is a free milling quartz, and shows no sign of turning base, thus when tho mill is erected\n(here should be a most profitable run.\nThe ledge runs parallel to that of the\nPoorman.\nOn the Royal Canadian two tunnels\nare Vicing driven, one of which is aire; ly in 1300 feet. The ledges oil tbis\ngroup contain similar ore to that on\nthe Granite. Both groups, containing\nin all eight claims and a fraction,\nwere acquired sonic little time back\nby the Duncan syndicate.\nMr. Roid further informed the reporter that it was intended next year,\nwhen moro development work had been\ndone, to erect a 20-stamp mill. In tho\nmeantinio a 10-stanip mill is about to\nuo erected, and tenders for its construction and also for the construction of a\nflume have beon called for. The company are singularly fortunate in the\nmatter of water power, as they have\ntho control over 60 minor's inches of\nwater under a 708 foot head. Thus\nthero will be no fear of an inadequate\nwater supply, and it will be possible to\nrun tho mill continuously tho year\naround. The vein is rather wet and\nloose, but all difficulty from water is\nobviated by tho steam pump which has\nboen installed, and Mr. Reid considers\nthat theso characteristics augur well\nfor the contiuuauco at great depth of\ntho freo milling nature of tbo oro. Mr.\nReid goes out. lo Eagle creek today to\nsurvey the proposed mill site, and lay\nout the looation for a wagon road tbat\nis to be built.\nYMIR   NOTES.\nYmir,    Aug.

The properties are tlio Canadian Belle and the Empire, and belong to Albert Sauvie of Ymir. The\nclaims are bonded for $4000.

Nicaragua, Aug. 81.\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdThe\ndiet* of tlie Greater Republic of Central\nAmerica has asked the government of\nNicaragua for all the documents in its\narchives relating to the construction\nof an inter-oceanic canal across Nicaragua for the purpose, as El Liberal,\n(government* daily newspaper) says, of\n\"investigating the reasons why tho\nUnited States of North America appear to have decided to construct tho\ncanal.\"\nTHE KHALIFA IS LAYING MINES\nCairo, Aug. 111.\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdTho Khalifa, according to a despatch received today\nfrom Wady El-Oebeid, has laid torpedoes in tbe Nile, below Onidurnian\nnnd a large Dervish force is issuing\nfrom Kerreri, about eight miles north\nof Omdurman ,to meet the Anglo-\nEgyptian advance.\nNICHOLAS' NOTE IS WEAK\nPeace Proposals Not Acceptable Just Now.\nTHE FRENCH ENRAGED\nIt is Said That the Ozar Was Inspired to\nAction by the Queen of England,\nWho Wants Peace.\nLondon, Aug. ill.\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdTbe newspapers\ncontinue to devote largo space to comments upon and criticisms of the czar's\nnote. They generally agree the outcome will be a conference of premiers\nif not of sovereigns themselves, which\nwill be followed by an expression of\nconcurrence in the humanitarian aims\nof the czar and report resolutions to\ntheir respective governments, when\nthe wholo thing will be shelved indefinitely. The latest comments from\nParis show there is intense irritation\nthere ou the subje 't. The czar's proposal is regarded an unfriendly and\ninconsistent with the Franco-Russian\nalliance.\nIt is alleged in some quarters that\nthe czar's ar.ouncement was directly\ninspired by Queen Victoria, whose\ngreatest hope is that her long reign\nmay not again be disturbed by war.\nTbe Queen confessedly bas long sought\nto restrain Emperor William and it is\nnot unlikely she used her great influence with the czarina to secure, the\nczar's support.\nCAUSES DISMAY IN FRANCE.\nThe Paris correspondent of the\nTimes still insists that M. Faure aud\ntbe French uii.mRters knew nothing\nbeforehand and that the czar's proposal\nhas plunged the entire official world\ninto considerable embarrassment and\nalmost into stupefaction.\n\"Everybody, \" says M. DeBlowitz,\n\"is asking with dismay what it remains. It is a sad awakening for\nFranco and her papers aro making\nimmense efforts to restrain their feelings in tlie faco of what it regards as\nRussian perfidy.''\nONE PROPOSED BY GERMANY.\nTlie Daily Graphic says that Lord\nSalisbury, iu 1-SWH, communicated to\nEmperor William a memorandum\nshowing tbe tremendous cost of\narmed Europe. Emperor William was\nso impressed that he privately inti*\nmated his intention to summon a disarmament congress. Tho semi-official\nGerman press ventilated the idea, with\ntho result that so much animosity was\nshown ou the part of France that the\nkaiser abandoned the project.\nOPINION IN   ST. PETERSBURG.\nThe St. Petersburg correspondent of\nthe Daily Mail says : '' Tho proposal\nis a victory for M. Dewitt, the Russ-\nsiau minister of finance, over Count*\nMuravieff, tho former having warned\nEmperor Nicholas that if Muravieff's\nprovocative, policy toward England\nwas continued Russia would soon bo\nbankrupt. M. Dewitt advised disarmament as a peace policy to enable\nhim to carry out bis plans for a gold\nstandard in Russia and a rehabilitation\nof Russian finances.''\nThe St. Petersburg correspondent of\nthe Times says: \"Count Muravieff,\nthe Russian foreign minister, declares\nthat the idea originated entirely with\nEmperor Nicholas. There is much\nscoptieism in diplomatic circles as to\nany practical results from a conference\naud it is admitted on all sides that the\ncircular came as tho greatest surprise. ''\nSPAIN IS PLEASED.\nMadrid, Aug. 111.\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdThe Imparcial to\nday referring to the czar's peace note,\nexpressed the belief that his majesty's\npronouncement can hardly como from\na mere dreamer.\nIt, adds: \"Wo urgo Spain to pay\nclose attention to the matter, as assuredly Spain is not the power least\nintorosted in it. \"\nTbo Liberal is of the opinion that\ntho czar's object was to avert a threatening rupture of views which prevail,\nadding: \"Tho work of tho Hispano-\nAmericau commission in Paris is\nhardly worthy of comparison with\nthe proposed conference, which ought\nto bo attended by the United States as\nwell as Europe ; for should war break\nout. aud extend from tho Mediterranean\nto the China sea Spain must awake in\norder to preservo tho little she has\nmanaged to save from tho ruin. \"\nGERMANY ACCEPTS.\nBerlin, Aug. 111.\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdThe official Nord\nDontsche Allgemoino Zeitung, believed\nto have been inspired by Priuco\nHobonlohe, the imperial chancellor,\ndeclares tho willingness of Emperor\nWilliam and Gonnauy to accept tho\ninvitation to attend tho congress as\nproposed by tho Russian emperor.\nA MONGREL REPUBLIC.\nTho   Central   American    Confederacy\nRestricts   Liberty.\nManagua.

Only a few days ago, acucord-\ning to El Liberal of July !i0, several\nyoung men from this city were called\nbefore the inquisition on suspicion of\nplottiug a revolution,and some of them\nwere sentenced to the penitentiary.\nMany of tlie principal importers in\nwestern Nicaragua, native and foreign,\nhave called on the government during\ntho last 10 days and urged it not to\nadvance tho duties on imports, which\nit had contemplated doing, 100 per\ncent on the present high rates, of\nwhich advance from 16 to 25 por cent\nis to be paid in gold. The importers\nclo not know where the gold is to como\nfrom, in view of the fact that a largo\npercentage of tbo growing crop of\ncoffee, the only important export from\nNicaragua excepting dry hides nud\nIndia rubber, is pledged to the foreigners residing in other countries, who\nhave advanced the monoy necessary to\nenable the planters to cultivate tho\ncoffee shrubs through ten six years of\ntheir growth from tbe nursery to thy\nbearing state,\nA   MONTANA INCIDENT.\nSPANIARDS LOST AT SEA\nFugitives From Malate Find\nWatery Graves.\nNO TRACE OF THEM LEFT\nThey Boarded Transports Under Tow for\nManila  and  Were  Cast Off\niu  a Storm.\nA   Mail   Carrier   Waylaid   and   Shot\nThrough the Body.\nSylvanite, Mont., Aug. ill.\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdAbout\n(i o'clock this evening while Patrick\nDoran of Sylvanite was returning from\nLeonia with the mail sack on horse\nback he was held up and shot by Andrew Whitley of Troy. As Mr. Doran\napproached Whiltey, who was also on\nhorse back, Whitley remarked :\n\"I am going to bore a hole through\nyou, \" and commenced tiring. Doran\nmado an effort to grab his revolver\nwhen tho horses took fright and started\nin opposite directions, Whitley firing\none shot. Doran stopped to recover\nhis hat* which had blown off in the\nscuffle and seeing Whitley disappear,\nstopped to talk with Nick Michaels,\nan eyo witness to the shooting. Whitley circled around through tho bushes\nand headed him off, coming to tho\nfront with drawn revolver and demanded, \"hands up,\" and commenced\nshooting. The first shot took effect iu\nDoran's side, entering from behind\nafter striking tho lower floating rib\nand passed out in front, leaving an\nugly wound. Mr. Doran walked to\nhis place about three miles to havo his\nwound dressed, and not until he\nreached here did ho realize its seriousness.

In the latter's personal\norgan, the Sun, ho says that prohibition treads on personal liberty and\nalways fails of its object, and argues\nthat it will do moro harm than good\nto public morals, concluding by saying that prohibition discriminates\nagainst the lighter drinks, such as\nwine, beer and cider, and in favor of\nwhiskey, because the bulk of whiskey\nbeing less, it is more easily concealed.\nThere are other intoxicants, such as\nopirm and chloral, which would be\nlikely to increase when liquor was\nwithdrawn.\nK.

The Leyte undertook\nto tow the two transports to Manila\nbay, where Spaniards aboaid them\nwere to surrender to Admiral Dewey\nif they did not succeed iu reaching\nManila undei cover darkness.\nThe Leyte towed them down Pam-\npangas river and somo distance along\ntbo coast.

The position of\nprivate secretary is om of a confidential nature and demands circumspect conduct on the part of the incumbent at all times, but m this instance, when tho secretary in question\nis in the entourage of a governor of a\nprovince, within whoso purviow come\ngrave matters of state, it is imperative\nthat the secretary move with the utmost precaution, a faithful custodian\nof such secrets as his position may\nhavo put him in possession of. Young\nMclnnes' conduct during the critical\ntime through which his master, the\nlieutenant-governor, has just passed is\nshown by his own admissions not to\nhave been prudent, He dabbled in\naffairs which were uot bis business\nunless ho had insrructions to mako\nthem his business. Who can tell, tho\nways of politicians aro so devious?\nAs tho case at* present* stands Mr. Turner says to Mr. Mclnnes, \"you did\"\nand Mr. Mclnnes cries, \"I didn't.\"\nBetween the two the point of veracity\nis lost.\nA   VAIN   HOPE.\nThe wish is evidently father to the\nthought with the opposition party and\npress that there will be another appeal\nshortly to tho electors of the province,\nand this belief is based on the supposition that with another opportunity\ntho result might prove different. There.\nis nothing to warrant this. On tho\ncontrary thero aro strong indications\nthat another appeal to thc people would\naccentuate the deserved disaster which\nan indignant people visited upou the\nTurner government. Clique rule can\nnever bc successful. It may dominate\nand dictate for a time but its arbitrariness compasses its destruction. An\nimpressive example of this is fouud iu\ntho experience of the conservative\npower at Ottawa. After ttir John\nThompson's death a clique at tho capital uudertook to rule. Whoever was\nnot for them was considered against\nthem and was treated accordingly.\nThis soon became intolerable and the\npeople, who cannot bo deceived all the,\ntime, seized tho first opportunity of\ndriving from office men whose courses\nproved them unworthy of public confidence. It was the same with the\nTurner government. That gentleman\nis personally beyond reproach. He\nsought no gain for himself and cannot\nbe charged with having consideration\nfor personal profit. But ho was culpable, inasmuch as ho did not restrain\nthose associated with him from a\ncovetous desiro to divide among themselves and their friends for their own\nenrichment tho resources of  tho prov-\nYukon region comprised the most im\nportant gold placer deposits in the\nworld. Five hundred miles this side,\nof Klondike creek equally rich deposits have been found and to come nearer\nhome, there are indications of rich\nplacers at KovercroeK,a few miles from\nthis city. Their value has yet to be\ndetermined but the specimens already\nwashed out aro enough to satisfy tho\nmost sceptical as to the undoubted fact that British Columbia\nhas within its boundaries thc greatest\ngold bearing areas ever known in any\nland, from which, within the next\nfew years, will come enormous gain to\ntho world. There can be no doubt\nabout tbis. Quartz mining is one of\nthe busiest industries in this province,\nespecially iu the interior where thousands of men find employment in the\nmines. Placer mining will undoubtedly attract* as much attention if not\nmore, for tho reason that no capital to\nspeak of is required to engage in it.\nTho banks of Pine creek flowing into\nlake Atlin wero found to bo filled with\ngold liko currants in cake, and of this\nwas tho caso there, why not on creeks\nflowing into the Columbia and Kootenay, which for ages havo been carrying\ndown gold among tho detritus from\nthe everlasting hills. Timo will tell.\nKeen eyes and eager hands are now at\nwork everywhere and there is promise\nthat most of the soil of this province\nwill be, overtured within the next few\nyears with advantage, it is hoped, tothe\npatient and persistent* men who do\nthe work. One thing is certain, tho\nCassiar region, always looked upon as\na most promising region, has como up\nto expectations. It is in British Columbia aud tbe entire province must\nbenefit more or less from the rapid expansion which must ensue there. Fortunately the rich laud still belongs to\ntho poople, the Turner government* not\nhaving lived long euough to give it\naway to some needy friend.\nCAMPERS, PROSPECTORS,\nPICKNICKERS, EXCURSIONISTS\nand nil those who are trying lo nvoid the bent of the cook stove these  warm days\ndnys by usiug something tasty in the line of Corned Meats, Fish and Poultry\nwiil be greatly relieved nml wonderfully benefitted by looking over the\nFollowing list.
