When the ball-roller mill at\nthe property was found to be a\nfailure List fall, the directors of the\ncorapauy held a meeting at Toronto,\nand it was decided rather than to\ngo to the expense of\nanother mill, that\nshould be sold if a\nbe found. Tho property was a\nonce placed on the market in a\nquiet way, and now ifc is said that\nthe deal is about to be closed.\nLooking forward to the salo, the\npresent company has not continued\nthe development overly fast. When\nthe mill was shut down the force\nthat ,was at work was reduced to\nten men. Since then a further\nreduction has been made, and now\nonly four men are at work. The\nengineer representing the new company, and who is ?to report on the\nproperty, is expected\" to arrive in\nNelson tomorrow or next day. He\nwill visit the property and make\nhis report immediately.\nThe deal will be a good-sized oiie,\nand it is said that, the new company Js backed, np' by'a large\n',' amount of capital aud when once\ntiie property is ^turned over its\ndevelopment will be carried on with\n. great activitjr. The only requirements to'make the properfcy^among\nthe best producers' of -this district\nis a modern stamp mill. The other'\n.facilities _-are^ already, installed in.\nconnection-* Wlth-the' milKthat- wftsr\n~ \"erected'at the property Jast year.\nThe history of the property is an\ninteresting one. It was staked\nseveral\" -years ago by, Robert\n\u25a0Reddle who', after,a short time, did\nihis assessment work in the form of\n\u2022 open'cuts on the surface.\" Alone\n'.time-he. was unable to pay his\n\u2022 assessment dues and in order to\nraise the money offered. a quarter\n.interest 'for sale. The property\nithen.was thought ,to be of little\n\u25a0value and he could not, get $5 for\n\"the quarter interest. The original\n\u2022owners were Frank Fletcher, Robert\nHeddle and and John Philips.\nAbout two years \"ago the property was bonded by the Venus\n'Gold Mining Company, whieh since\nYithat time did extensive develop-\nvment woik. When the property\nwent under the control of this\n.' company only surface work had\nbeen done. At the present\ntime over 2000 feet of tunneling, shafting and drifting has\nbeen completed _ The workings,\nare now in about 700 feet. Four\ntunnels with ore in' all have been\nrun to a considerable depth. The\n-present work is being expended\nmpon the. running of a fifth tunnel\ntto tap tho vein _bo,ut the 400-foot\n\u2022level. -Tt is expected $W& the lead\n\u25a0will be encountered shortly;, jit is\n'estimated that about 16,000 *fc.ops of\n'ore are already blocked .\u00a9v**.. Although the value of the surface ore\n* was not high, the assays from samples of ore taken from a greater\n\u2022 depth gave high returns, some ex-\n\u25a0 ceeding $40. \u2022 The mill returns, although much of the precious metal\n\u2022was lost, were on an average about\n! $15. Ifc is thought that with the\n_ working of a stamp mill much bet-\n'ter returns would be obtained. The\n-property\"\"- is valued at about\n.$200,000.\nThe resuming of work on the\n\u2022\u2022property by a strong company\nwould be of great benefit to Nelson.\nWork to be Resumed.\nAfc a meeting of the shareholders\nof the company that- owns the\n,_. Albion mine, - near Ainsworth, ifc\nwas voted to resume, work and a\nvoluntary assessment was levied on\nthe stock. Work has been suspended'\non the Albion for two years. It is\nsituated near the Highlander, as its\nore is of the same character. About;\n\u25a0.',$80,0.66, have been expended on the\nproperty, and every thing at the\nmine is in excellent shape for the\nresumption of work. The directors\n- elected at the meeting are: W. A.\nAldriph, president; G. W. Roche,\n, -rice president j Mrs. M. Logan, \u2022\nsecretary and* treasurer ; AV. S. Mc-\nCrae, W. G. Merry weather, Sig\nllanauer and G. A. Benson, all of\nSpokane.\nRoads Getting iu Bad Shape.\nThe warm weather' of tho last\nthree days is knocking the bottom\nout of the roads. The shipments\nfrom the Molly Gibson mine havo\nbeen suspended, as the road has become unfit for traffic. The Silver\nHill road up Crawford - creek is also\nin bad shape, two of the bridges\nhaving been knocked out by slides.\nThe company has about 96 tons at\nthe landing, and this is all that can\nbe shipped to the smelter until\ncolder weather prevails. The company expected to_ ship about 50\ntons per day. The Molly Gibson\nwas shipping about a car a day.\nTHE TEST WAS A FAILURE\nYMiR'S BIG MINE YIELDING\nApparatus Did Not' Work Well.\nFor some days past dodgers, ex-\ncirculated, announced a\n*\/a<\u00bb*,\"'ivw-:ij_'s* \u00b0^ a cei'tain compound\n^^^^^\"'Swisher, which was de-\nsciYtfiitf\/as \"undoubtedly the most\nvaluable invention of the day.\"\nThe public were cordially invited to'\nwitness the wonders of the extinguisher, but the mayor, alder-\nmeu. merchants, mill managers and\nfire underwriters were specially invited. ' At the \"appointed hour\nyesterday afternoon upwards of\none hundred persons had assembled\nat the foot of Stanley street, where\nall preparations had .been\" made to\ndemonstrate that the modern fire\nbrigade is no longer a necessity if\n.only a few tubes of. compound extinguisher be on hand. The crowd\nwas discussing the probability' of\nseeing'the whole fire fighting apparatus, including the chief and his\nstaff, - dispensed with, and an .express wagon with a sack or two Yof\npatent fire extinguisher and a a few\nshovels 'substituted, therefor, when\nthe gentlemah'who was.to give the\ntest stepped forward^with a\" ready-\nladies-and-gentlenien _ 'expression,*\n^atid\/y.appliedT jt^ match*\"---toY tlie'\"\noil-saturated- 'material, on\" a.\ncouple -of empty c boxes. Up'\nshot the flames, and down came the\ncompound fire extinguisher through\na tube. Before there was time to\ndoubt the efficiency of the firsjfc application another tube of the stuff\nwas applied, but without the desired effect, and the volume of flame'\nwas evidently gaining.. Then came\nthe-third and last tube, but still no\nperceptible .diminution in flame.\nThe derisive laughter of those present pronounced the public test a\nfailure, aud the disappointed manipulator of -'the most valuable invention of-the day\" declared that if\nhe only had enough of the comoound\nhe could put out* the fire. A few\nboys, in the crowd suggested \"Try a\nsnow-ball?' The suggestion was\nadopted, and amid a shower of such\nmissies, the fire was extinguished.\nThe public test of tho dry compound fire extinguisher cannot be\npronounced a success, and is not,\nlikely to interfere with the council\ncarrying out the contemplated improvements in the fire department.\nThe Venezuela Trouble.\nWashington, January 17.\u2014The\nonly advice over night from Venezuela was a' short message from Mr.\nLoomis, indicating that the revolt;1\nwhich harl broken out in the barracks at Caracas had been suppressed last Monday.

About 100 men are engaged\nat the property, which is a comparatively small force for the amount* of\nore that is being handled. The ore\nremoved from the workings averages from 200 to 250 tons_v per day.\nThe work done is principally in'\nNos. 1, 2 aud 3 levels. The vein on\nwhich stoping is being, done runs\nfrom 20 to 50 feet in width. The\nore is low-grade, a fair percentage\nof the values b'eing saved on the\nplates, the remainder -\"in the concentrates. The ore. taken from the\nlowest level, about 600 feet, gives a\nlarger amount'of concentrates than\nthat taken from the higher levels.\n* At present a \"shaft is ' being\nsunk from No. 3 level to intersect\n,the'tunhel'that is being driven-to\ntap'the t bin at No. 10 level. *It is\ndown about 300 feet, and between\n_ 400 and 500 feet remains to be done.\nThe work\"on'the tunnel, which is\nbeing run from the level of the mill\n\u25a0to strike the vein at No.. 10 level, is\nto be pushed rapidly by. contract.\n\u2022The tunnel has been advanced about\n700 feet;\"\" but the distance \"from the\nopening to the vein is somewhat\nover 2000 feet.

It\" ,is now reported that a .company has been organized in New\"york,-and thai} a smelter to treat zinc ores-will-be erected near Helena* Montana. The plant\" will be the practical realization of the purpose to which many experiments, costing large\"sums of money, have been aimed, and will give value to millions of tons of ores carrying zinc associated with gold and silver. which have been developed in tlie. mines of the'Northwest or lie on the dumps', but have been -condemned as worthless. Much Of the pre, especially the silver-lead, ore, of this country carries zinc in such a percentage as to cause considerable loss in the way of high .treatment charges; Some time ago a company was'- organized inManchester, England, to handle zinc ore at works near The slump in the Whittaker Wright companies shares amounted to over $36,660,606, yet not a man lias been laid off at a mine in British Columbia in consequence of tiie slump. This goes to show that the mines in this province owned by the Whittaker Wright companies are being worked on their merits as mines and not as stock-jobbing ventures. It was hoped that the board of trade would get out of the rut that it has got into.; but ifc is a hopeless ease now.

There aro.-worse phases of the gambling ovil than the open resorts on Howard street. Publicity strips these places of much that is demoralizing. If your boy or your em- jiloyee frequents the open resorts, the knowledge will come to you, and you can take steps, to correct him.' Not so with the private club and tlie hidden games. He may gamble there and conceal the truth. Before you know it, the pernicious passion may have seized liis being. Vice that is flagrant, open and repulsive is \"less- dangerous than vice tliat is gilded and half-way repecta- ble.. To him who reads aright, the public gambling Hall' presents an open warning. Ifc flaunts no false colors. It offers-no\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd pretense to respectability. Players go there without solicitation, for the code of the \"square\" gambler will not allow him to invite men to play afr.his games. Ask him his own opinion of gambling and he will confess that it a had thing, will lament the circumstances \"which threw him into the business, and will advise you to abstain. If in a confidential mood, he will point to tlie human wrecks around him, and cite them as examples of what the gambling habifc will do to society's weaklings. In nine case out of ton men do not start at the public gambling halls. The habit is contracted under more respectable environment\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdin private clubs, at social gatherings, in the back rooms of certain cigar stores, or in tlio card rooms ot hotels. Under such surroundings it is far more insidious than when ifc stalks into the open. These statements are not advanced in a fault finding spirit. The purpose is analytical, or even if reform is to be effective, it must start with comprehension of the facts. Ifc will serve no beneficial purpose for vice that is garbed in fine clothes to rail out'against its brother in rags of fustian. True\" reform, must come with a moral awakening all along the lino.

Ifc is iu effect, that \"Jim\" Hill of the Great Northern has entered a combine to clown the Canadian Pacific. The dispatch reads: \"Today J. J. Hill came into possession-of one-third of the capital.stock of the Crow's Nest (British Columbia) coal mines, amounting to $2,500,066. He also entered into an agreement .with other railroad com- panieswho have built and1 are to build' to parallel the Canadian Pacific. , Hill also agrees to build .a spur line from the Great Northern to the Crow's Nest coal- mines and guarantees to purchase G600 tons of coal ijer ctay. The whole scheme contemplates a gigantic struggle with .the Canadian Pacific, for which J. J. Hill receives valuable government concessions.\" Machine Drill that is a Wonder. An\", inventive genius at. Colfax, Washington, has- invented, a machine drill that is said to do as much: work as eight men. The machine-is operated by one man, who simply turns a crank.\" which revolves-a wheel to whicli is attached four 4-pound^liairimers, which strike the drill with terrific force, each blow being harder than that struck by a\/man. - By'turning the crank at armoderate, 210 blows are struck by the hammers- in one minute. This is-said to be the work of eight able'bddied -men.

Savings Bank Branch CURRENT BATE OV INTEREST PAID. TOO MANY MININC DIVIDENDS Disbursed Abroad. Ono of the tilings to be regretted is that so little oC tho profits of the yield of our mines is reinvested or spent in any way iu the country in which the mines' are situate. Of the millions that have been paid in dividends from ore mined in Kootenay, it is safe to say that less than a quarter of a million has been spent in any of the towns of Kootenay in tho way of investments, lint ono mino owner who has drawn dividends, as far as oan be' learned by Titr Tribunr, has ever invested a dollar of his income in upbuilding tho town at whieh his monoy Avas made. That one man is .Tohu M. Harris of the Reco mine at Sandon. . Tf there are any others, Tjir Tribune will bo only too pleased to print their names in capital letters. Hut, it appears, that this is just what happens in ' other mining districts; as the following clipped from tho 35T.esto.1,11 Mining .World of>Rntte, Montana, goes to show : \"What woeful lack of'.judgment and foresight nearly every old time eiti\/.en.of Butte, used in early days gone by, in -regard to purchasing, stook in the liutte copper companies when they first offered. As a consequence,\"outside - of the' Clark; and Heinze. properties, - there is hardly a single dollar com ing v to Butte as dividends from'tlie Butte copper mines to the original holders of shares. It is appaling when one stops to consider-the question seri- 'ously. No less than $100,000,000 have been paid in dividends -by these Butte mines during the ,past ten or fifteetryearK, attd\"f-1mrdl J\"** a dollar*of it came to Butte. When we say, \"hardly a dollar of it ,came to Butte,\" we put it mild, for, if we are not misinformed, there is not a single owner of any of these\" stocks in Butte'today that purchased them when first offered on the market. \" \"Conditions existing here today, in Butte are not much changed. No matter how meritorious a proposition may be, it does not receive the warm support and assistance _ it naturally deserves from those who are in a position financially to help it out and put it on o paying basis. There is an exception to this, however.

But a local one, never. \"As a consequence look at the despicable contlition of tho local mining.-stock market! There .are\" but two or three stock brokers in Butte, where, as .a matter of fact, there ought to bo a hundred. There is not sufficient interest taken in Butte among those able to carry out such a project, to organize a mining stock exchange. This is not only the condition of affairs today, but never in the history of Butte have they been .different'. What a woeful condition of affairs in the greatest mining camp on earth, where the payroll amountsto. fully $20,000,000 a..year, and its, mines earn annually many times, that amount. On the .other hand, observe what is fast building-up a, rival to Butte. In Cripple.' Creek, over ninety cents of every dollar, produced during last year from its mines belong to the people of the immediate vicinity. The lethargy existing in Butte among its moneyed inen and influential citizens-is ap-, palling in this regard.\" ,Y A Rich Girl Married. .. Nfiw York, January 17.-*rrMiss A.

Chicago Chronicle. The commentators upon the life of Philip D. Armour have generally failed to discern what was really the distinguishing characteristic of the man. They have devoted themselves largely to discussion of his purely business successes and to admiration of the manner in which he overcame early obstacles and accumulated a large fortune. The truth is, of course, that ninety-nine in a hundred of the great fortunes of the country have been built up by men who overcame \"similar\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdor .greater ^difficulties. Tliereyjwas nothing unique in Mr. Armour's success. The qualities which enable men to acquire great wealth are common to all millionaires. We have to 'look beyond the mere money-making faculty\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdor instinct \ufffd\ufffd\ufffdin order to, come at the man himself.- Each man has some one. tendency or characteristic more fully developed than the majority of his fellows. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd'.' No man who worked faithfully for him failed to secure his recognition\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdrecognition not only material, but of that more valuable kind \ufffd\ufffd\ufffdthe word of praise, sometimes publicly, sometimes privately! bestowed. It was thisvfact which made situations with' the Armour house cherished by those who held theni.and coveted by' those who aspired'to' them. The man who worked .for- PhilipAivraoiu'. knew that he was accounted something \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd.more than a mere cog in a vast machine. YYtleknew^hat the eye of the general was upon'hiiii'j and that faithful service would be recognized in general orders, i JIhdt was why Philip Armour was. so well served. And in that lies\/.idsclaim: to distinction above his fellows. He was not merely a great money-inaker, buthe was-a captain and\/leader of meu because of Yhis consideration for their pride, their ambition and their self-respect. . . Jnthe case of Mr. Aviuour it -may' fairly be. said that he was distinguished from the majority of the multi-millionaire in his attitude toward the men whom he employed. Hewas actively and personally interested in the men who worked for hire*. It was not alone that he paid living wages\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdmost men: do that\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd but he continually testified his sense of obligation to his employees. He recognized what some employers do nofc^r-that while the employer hen- D. R. Wilkie, General Manager. E. Hay, Inspector. Nelson Branch\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdBurns Block, 221 Bakor Street) J. M. LAY. Manama... efits the employee, the employee likewise benefits the employer. \"A man may be the besti general in the world,\" he is quoted- as saying, \"but he will fare badly without able lieutenants, and he will fail altogether unless he has the loyalty of the privates in the ranks.\" This is putting the case exactly. Mr. Armour exemplified his theory by- the consideration which he extend ed to the lieutenants and privates in the grand army of his employees, He-^Was Startled. They are telling'a- good story in Edinburgh just now atv the expense of a certain Yeomanry officer, an immensely popular man, whose one weakness is his belief that the making of a\" great general was lost-when he went into the business of- keeping a shop, says a London newspaper. The militia regiment garrisoning Edinburgh castle, in the absence of the Gordon Highlanders, contains some choice spirits,- and the other day, after, .a laying together of heads among the officers, a stripling rushed into the establishment of tho officer in question. \"Oh, colonel ,\" he called, \"have you - heard the news ? You are ordered _,off for active service1 immediately!\" The colonel started to his feet. \"Good heavens I\" he ,cried; \"has Kitchenei been killed already?\" TORONTO STOCK EXCHANGE. <*\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd THUItSDAV'S QUOTATION'S. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd stock.
