R, Roy, Dominion Engineer, arrived at Fort Steele on\nSunday last. Mr. Roy's mission\njs to examine the Kootenay River\nas to its improvement and report\n\u2022\u2022the result of his investigation to\nthe Dominion Government, At\nthe last Session of the Dominion\nParliament, through the energetic efforts of our member, Mr.\nBostock, \u00a75,000 was appropriated tor the improvement of the\nriver between Fort Steele and\nthe International boundary.\nThe residents of Fort Steele,\nmine owners and miners all over\nthe district have foi' years been\nasking the Government to improve the Kootenuy River: tlie\nnecessities and possibilities of\nthe district as to the future have\n\u25a0been represented in a just and\n\u25a0forcible manner. It was shown\nthat a small amount of money\nexpended would be'of Immense\n'benefit to this district and would\ninsure at least eight months of\nnavigation on the river; that\nthere was only five gravel bars\nthat obstructed navigation to\nsuch an extent that steamboats\ncould not ascend the river at a\nlow stage of water. The attention of the department was call-\nfid to the fact that a large\n.amount of ore, some 3,000 tons,\nwas in course of transit, and\nwith the river improved a much\nlarger amount could and would\nbe shipped, and the arrival of\nMv, Roy tends to show that tho\nGovernment; through the direct\nefforts of Mr. Bostock, has real-\nfaed that the river is an import-\n\u2022\u25a0ant means of transportation to\nthis district,\nAs a means of transportation a\nwater route is at times much to\nbe preferred to railway facilities,\nand the near approach of the\nCrow's Nest Railway may seem\nto some as affording sufficient\nmeans of transportation, but this\nis not so. The river can be\nmade available for the transportation of ore to the railway\nfrom points along the river that\nthe railway does not come iu direct connection with. It will\ntake a few years to gird the district with a railway system that\nwill afford the necessary means\nof transportation to the ores\nmined in tho district, and in the\nmeantime tho river affords a di\nrect and quick moans of trans\nportation. In fact, the steamboats will become feeders to the\nrailway, thus euabling the mine\nowners prompt and efficient\ntransportation at this time, and\nin the future will be a source of\ncompetition, thus affording cheap\n.rates to the district.\nA large number of the citiaens\nof Fort Steele and mine owners\nfrom all over the district waited\non Mr. Roy and impressed on\nthat gentleman that the district\nlit large wanted the river im\nproved; that it was necessary to\ntho future wolf-are of the district\nthat the improvements should\n.commence as soon us possible,\nMr. Roy statod that he was here\nto examine and report as to tho\ncost and what was needed to improve the river, and that as soon\nas the stage of the water would\npermit work would be commenced, possibly In October;\nthat a small amount had been\nappropriated this year, and that\n}t would bo expended on the\nplaces in tlie river where it wns\nfound most ueeded.\n, Mr. Croaitsdale, representing\nthe Hall Smelter Co., suggested\nthat as a small amount of money\nhad heen appropriated it should\nbe localized as much as possible\nso as to make the river a natural\nfeeder to the railway.\nMr. T, G, Procter, a prominent mine owner in the district,\nstated that in all probability\nthere would be a very large output of mineral in the near future,\nas there were strong developments going on,\nMr. John Fink said that the\nimprovement was a direct necessity to the whole district, and\nwould bo the means of a large\nsaving to the people. It was a\npopular and important movement.\nA number of other business\nmen coincided with these gentlemen, saying that it effected the\nwhoie district, enabling mine\nowners along the rivor front direct means of transportation,\nthus bringing the mines in touch\nwith tho railway.\nMining Notes,\nThe North Star company are\ndoing the assessment work on 21\nclaims in the vicinity of the\nNorth Star.\nWe learn thai it is the intention of the North Star company\nto sink a shaft 800 . feet on the\nproperty.

All that is\nknown now is that the message\nwas most friendly in tone and\nthat its receipt has given great\npleasure to the president and his\nadvisers.\nOfficially there has been no\ncorrespondence between Washington and Berlin which has\nbeen at all stiff and unfriendly.\nSo far as the conduct of the German ships in the Philippines is\nconcerned, it appears to be a\nmatter thus far purely between\nAdmiral Von Diedriche and Admiral Dewey. The government\nat Washington has made no representations to the government\nat Berlin with regard to the incident in Subig bay, and the wisdom of the restraint appears now\nin the friendly approaches whicli\nhave just been made.\nWATSON TO SAIL IN MIGHT.\nHis Squadron Will Be Enlarged to\nA PoworfulJFleot.\nUnder tlie new arrangement\nthe eastern squadron, not yet\nofficially designated a lleet, will\nconsist of the protected cruiser\nNewark, Goiuniodoru Watson's\nflagship; the armored cruiser\nBrooklyn, Commodore Schley's\nflagship; the lirst class battleships Oregon, Massachusetts and\nIndiana, the second class battleship Texas, the auxiliary cruis\ners Yale, Yosemite and Dixie,\nprobably the gunboat Princeton,\nnow undergoing some alterations\nat the Washington navy yard,\nand perhaps the protected cruiser\nNew Orleans.\nIt cannot be definitely ascor:\ntained that the Yosemite and the\nDixie will remain as part of the\nsquadron, but in all probability\nthey will not be detached, although some fast auxiliaries are\ndesired for blockading purposes.\nEvery armored cruiser aud\nbattleship in the navy is to be\nincluded in the squadron with\nthe exception of the New York,\nAdmiral Sampson's flagship, and\nthe Iowa, Captain Robley D.\nEvans. The Iowa is badly in\nneed ol an overhauling and will\nprobably be brought to the\nUnited Statos to be dry docked.\nIt is rumored that the Iowa\nsuffered greater damage than\nwas supposed at the time from a\nSpanish shell, which struck her\nduring one of the bombardments\nut' the Santiago forts.\nAnother interesting that has\ncome out is the fact that the\nnaval authorities are considering\nthe advisability of assigning\nCommodore Schley to the command of the Second division of\nthe formation. It is probable\nthat the decision will be affirmative. Such action will put an\nend to all the talk- that the administration does not want to\ngive Schley a fair chance to distinguish himself, tts the work\nmapped out for the eastern\nsquadron to perform is the most\nimportant that will be undertaken by the government in a\nnaval way during the war.\nRT S\nCo,\n(LIMITED LIABILITY.!\nPORT STEELE m WARDNER\nBritish Columbia\nWe direct special attention to QUI*!

Most of them\nwere running for the legislature,\nand their desperate character\nwas not known until the campaign commenced.\nGreat Britain will .shortly be\niu a position to hold the seas\nagainst lho combined Heels of\nGermany. Franco and Russia.\nShe will then lie in no need of\nan alliance with America. Britain's neglect oi her navy between\n1.880 and 181)0 is responsible for\nthe contemptuous (real nient\nwhich the powers have been giving her, In that period she built,\nonly 18 battleships and 12 cruisers, against 12 battleships and\n10 cruisers built by Russia, Germany and Prance. In the present decade, however, she is\nmaking rapid strides towards\nsupremacy. Her programme for\n1890-lflOO includes 32 battleships\nand 27 cruisers. Britain is also\nbuilding many torpedo-boat destroyers,\nMILES TO MOVE ON SAN JUAN\nGeneral Says Ho Proposes to Push\nOn, Pending Word From tho\nPresidont Spanish Troops in\nHasty Flight.\nPort of Police, Porto Rico,\nJuly 2!).-\u2014 Without sooingor hearing anything of the enemy the\nadvance guard of General Henry's division, which wits landed'\nat Gininicit on Tuesday, arrived\nhere today taking en route tho\ncities of Ytiitco, Tiillitboii'i Sahiuiii\nGrande and Poiiiiolns, Attempts\nby the Spaniards to blow up\nbridges and. otherwise destroy\nthe railroad between Yauco and\nPonce failed, only a few llatcars\nbeing burned. Our troops have\nfixed up the locomotives and are\nnow operating them from end to\nend, carrying supplies and men.\nAt Yauce the Americans were\nwelcomed in an address made by\nthe alcalde and public proclamations issued dated \"Yauco, Porto\nRico, United Stales of America,\nJuly 27.\"\nMajor Webb Hayes, of the\nSixth Ohio, son of former President Hayes, hauled up the Hag\non the palace amid cheers from\nthe populace. The people seemed really glad that the A mericans\nwere here, but they fear an\nuprising of the natives in the interior, who, it is asserted, will\nraid, kill and destroy properly\nin revenge for many years of\nSpanish misrule.\nWero Totally Unprepared.\nThe Spaniards left here entirely without artillery, which makes\nit even more obvious that, an attack at this poiut was uot dreamed of by ihem. Not n gun was\nmounted. Tho garrison was\nsmall and poorly armed. All the\nguns with one exception that\nwere abandoned in lhe arsenel\nWhen they beat their hasty retreat Wednesday night were\nRemingtons and Mausers. There\nwas not a mine in the harbor of\nPonce, although two ancient\naffairs covered with barnacles\nwere found at Porto de Gnanicu.\nThese had. been placed there\nyears ago and resisted every\neffort to explode them. It is\nevident from the wholesale desertion on the pari of the Spanish volunteers that Captain Ma*\ncitts must depend as a last resort\nupon the regulars.\nThese do not number over\n8,1)00 in the whole islund, nml\neverything thus far indicates an\neasy cbnipiest.\nGoneral Wilson thinks be could\nlake the island wilh his own\ntroops unaided, but he predicts\nthat if tlio troops arrive Poi-lo\nRico will be ours in less than\nthree weeks.\nBicycle Record Broke.\nFrank Waller, the long-distance rider, who started last\nMonday at Norwood.
