Field on the Present and Future Prospects of the Slocan.\n\"The fact that the mines continue\nshipping is prima fade evidence that\nthoy are making money,\" snid Supt. E.\nJ. Field of the Wonderful mine,recently to a News representative while the\nprice of silver was several points lower\nthan at present.\n\"How much lower a price on silver\ncan the Slocan mines a Stand?\" was\nasked.\n\"Considerably lower, especially if\nload continues to advance as it is do\ning,\" was the reply. \"Take, for in\nstance, the ore shipments of the Won\nderful for the past 11! months and apply present market quotations lo them.\nWo have shipped 636 tons, or .'14 car\nloads of ore to Tacoma, Everett, Pueblo and Kaslo. From this we have received 62,171 ounces of silver valued at\n$40,020 and 7.12,(504 !bs. of lead valued\nat 120,641, making a total of 961,161\nThe moan or average price that produced these figures were $11 per cwt\nfor lead and (Hi cents per ounce for silvor. The mean or average values of\nall Slocan ores will probably nearly\ncorrespond with ours, which run 111.20\nozs. silvor to the ton and 00.40 per cent\nload, giving a value at these ligures of\n$111.26 per ton of 3hipping ore. It\nshould bo borne in mind also that these\ndollars are gold dollars: for unnocos\nsary as that statement may seem to\nmost people, certain easterners are\nfound who want to scale down tho ligures of the output of a silver mine by\nthe por cent of difference in tin- metal\nvalue of a silvor dollar and a gold\ndollar.\n\"If this mass of silvor and lead metal\nwere thrown on the market today (September 3rd) with silver at 52 cents per\nounce and lead at $3.85 per cwt., thero\nwould be a loss on tho silvor from last\nyear's average of 6(( cents per ounce, of\n$8,703; while there would bo a gain on\nlead of $0,228, which would nearly\noij utilize each other at the present figures. But with the certainty of the\nadvance in lead and the strong probability of the advance in silvor, tho coming year *b apt to be a much more prosperous one for the Slocan miners than\nthe last one was.\n, \"If dry ore silvor mines in tho United\nSlates close, that will almost certainly\nbring up the price of silver by curtailing the supply, and our silver lead\nmines can run right, along. This country has, so far, developed Itself from its\nown resources. Without an exception,\nthe oro bearing veins of the district\nhave steadily improved with development. No real mine in the S'ocan district has as yet shown any docreaso in\nore producing capacity, On tho contrary, they either remain stable or improve with depth.\n\"Other features that make this district appeal strongly to any business\nman seeking legitimate enterprise, are\nthese: No costly machinory Is needed\nfor the development of these minos.\nNearly all the mines so far discovered\ncan be developed by tunnels from the\nsurface driven on tho vein, at an average expense of less than $8 por foot.\nTlie only tools required for the exploitation of these mines are common tunnel cars,or wheel-barrows, picks, shovels and hand drills. The ores extracted\ngo as direct to market as do tho products of the farm.\n\"Our ores are high grade. If millions\ncan bo made out of low grado mines,\nwhy should any ono be apprehensive of\ntho future of this district? The Rossland ores taken as they run throughout\nthe district will not average over $20\nper ton, and are costly to work. The\nfamous Treadwell mine near Juneau,\nAlaska, has an average ore valuo of\nless than $5 per ton. The Homestake\nIn tho Black Hills, Dakota, has an average ore value of less than $4 per ton,\nand yet has declared $9,000,000 in dividends. , ,. .\n.

Last Tuesday\nit rose to 54J, aocording to Spokane\npapers, but our wires here gavo it 54J.\nLead also continues to rise, having\ngone up 15 cents per cwt, during the\nweek. As noted in our metal quotations elsewhere, its price today is,\nbrokers, $4: exchange. $4.40. The relations of exchange prices and brokers\nprices aro discussed further on. Yesterday's first wire gave lead at 86.80\naccompanied by rumors that this was\nfor future delivery and none offered,\non a wild market. This seems to have\nbeen a mistake, however, its a subsequent wire gave the same figures as\ntoday.\nThe. Lead Industry Booms,\nA dispatch from St. Louis says that\nprosperity has struck the lead industry\nand the market is on the boom. Prices\naro higher than they have been for\nthe past live years with the prospect of\nattaining the highest point in the history of the metal. Missouri mines,\nwhich were on the point of closing\ndown, have resumed operations full\nblast, aud will produce \ufffd\ufffda larger tonnage than ever before. Since August,\n1896, when the price of lead reached\ntho lowest, it has boen gradually climbing. It is confidently predicted by\ncompetent authority that the price will\nreach $4.50 before the close of the year.\nExchange Price vs. Brokt-r'H rrlee.\n\"Lead was quoted at $4.25 and $4.35\nin Now York last Friday, that being\nthe highest price attained in over live\nyears. I confidently expect it to reach\n$4.50 and possibly higher,\"said John A.\nFinch to a Spokesman-Review reporter last Saturday.\n\"You refer to the exchange quotation\nand not the brokers', do you not?\" he\nwas asked.\n\"Tho exchange [quotation is the real\nprice,\" answered Mr. Finch. \"The\nbrokers have ^ot together and fixed up\na method of naming a 'brokers' price',\nwhich is really no price at all. If you\nask a broker about it, he will toll you\nit is tho price for a largo quantity. If\nyou offer to buy at that price, he will\ntell you it is not the car load figure,\nbut tho price for large lots, and if ho is\npinned down closely ho will refuse to\nsell at the price quoted. The exchange\nprice tells the true stale of the\nmarket.\"\nContinuing Mr, Finch said: \"Load\nis a luxury. Statistics prove that a\nlargo por cent goes into the manufacture of white lead, which is used in\npainting. When times aro hard,houses\ngo uupalntod, and when prosperity\nreturns there is a general desire to\nbrighten the home with a fresh coat of\npaint, and so the demand for white lead\nis strengthened. I am told that at\npresont tho sale of that product is immense, and of course that strengthens\nthe market for lead. When you stop\nto consider it, there are many more\nways in which lead is a luxury than in\nwhich It is a necosslty. A large per\ncent of tho annual output goes into ammunition, and another liberal portion\nis usod in plumbing. Whon times are\nclose, men do less hunting and not so i\nmany houses \ufffd\ufffdre fitted with water |\npipes. It will lie readily understood,!\ntherefore, that the return of more\nprosperous conditions jtbroughout tho\ncountry must havo a tondency to make\nthe price of load go higher.\"\nRemarkable Letter From Moreton Frewcn.\n,'Moroton Frowen, the eminent writer J\non political economy, ha^ sent a very\ninteresting lettor to Judge Goodwin of\nthe Salt Lake Tribune, upon the subject of bimetallism and the advancement which tho American eoraniission-\n.ors havo made and are making with\nthe European powers. When the commissioners started upon their mission.\nFrowen did not attach much importance to tlieir mission. For this reason\nthe tone of his lettor is :he moro significant. He says:\nYou see, our people hnve never hHii any practical respect for your financial methods: Indeed, why should they? Thus the movement\nof a great nation: the bimetallism of Hryau.tlic\nbimetallismoi McKinloy had quite failed to\nimpress us. Hut this quite unexpected movement toward free coinage in France has come\nas a bolt from the blue.* _\ufffd\ufffd\nFrench finance has always appeared to us\nwholly admirable. That thrifty conservative\nFrance should adopt the attitude that the two\ngreat republics could safely \"go it alone,\" if\nour Indian mints reopened, and if Berlin would\nagree to take a little silver annually, and sell\nnone\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdit is hardly possible to overrate the moral effect of such a development as this. It is not\nAmerica, then, that ta dragging forward an unwilling France; it is rather France that is about\nlo become the target of the gold press!\nWhen Woleott returned from France last February and declared that Meline, the French\nprime minister, was in a likely mood, he said\nvery little more, and the thing seemed to us\nwholly improbable. But here is liaron t'our-\nccl, the French ambassador, collaborating with\nyour men at every step, and Meline declared to\na friend the other day, \"If we (the government)\narc put out because of our support of silver,\nwe shall not be out long.\"\nYou can then imagine tlie surprise of our\npeople at the attitude ol the French ministry\nIlryan. we were told, was a low fellow; he was\na \"repudiatoi\"-a \"lifty-cent dollar\" mini; but\nhere is a French government working quietly\nfor a forty-flve-ceiit dollar,for a r.atio of 1 tol.\"i},a\nand our press, in dumb surprise, has not yet\nfound any adjectives,\nIt is strange tlint the member of this cabinet\nfrom whom the least was hoped, Sir Michael\nBeach, the chancellor of the exchequer, is apparently the most anxious of all to help tilings\nforward to a speedy settlement; while on the\nother hand thai member whose ipeochesln the\npast have done the most to arouse public opinion hes*e, to the great dangers Impending, is today making all the trouble within the cabinet.\nI refer to Goschen, who was tlie chancellor of\nthe exchequer in Lord Salisbury's former government.

This seems too good to be\ntrue. Commercially it means a new heaven\nand a new earth ; a far better world tomorrow\nfor all the white races. It is better not to anticipate such blessings as near at. hand; but 1\ndo feel, after a period of despondency, thnt perhaps the very lasl chapters of tliis strange liis-\ninrv of financial anarchy, which dates back to\n187:i, are even now being written.\nSilver liecoming Scarce In India\nThe New York Evening Host's London correspondent cabled last Friday\nas follows:\nI have just learned that, following tlie recent\ndecision of tlie India government to suspend\ncouncil drafts, it is now decided thnt the Indian\ngovernment will receive nexl Tuesday tenders\nfor drafls for rupees amounting to about 18,000,-\nU00; that is to say, instead .of selling drafts.\ntheir balances In India are so low' that they\nwant to buy remittances. This fact, which\nwill probably not bo known to tlie London\niilnrket nnlil tomorrow, Is of utmost interest,\nas It will nt once bring into prominence the\n-ilvcr position in India and tlie scarcity oi silver currency on asloned by requirements connected with the war operations of tlie frontier.\nWar is probable iii India and remittances of\nthe kind wanted by the Indian government are\nbelieved to In- scarce.\nI .mill.>n Smtlnt Predicts ii Sharp lteioverj\nVarious reasons are given for the full\nin the price of silver, tho chief being\ntho absence of buyers, but wo believe\nthe real reason to bo tho desire of\nAmerican speculators to sell a large\nblock which they had been holding as\na hedge against a fall in stocks, says\nLondon Statist. Apparently, speculators, seeing tho improvement in trade\nin tho United States, and witnessing\ntho rapid rise in prices of Amorican\nrailway securities, were anxious to participate in the improvement, and consequently sold their silver at whatever\nprice it would fetch, with the result\nthat buyers largely stood aloof, and tbe\nprice fell to an unprecedented figure.\nThere are, however, signs that the\nselling has reached its limit, and that\nthe accumulated stocks havo boen disposed of. We may consequently witness a sharp recovery in tho price of\nsilver, as India, and the Continent also,\nare merely waiting for indications that\nno further fall is likely to occur before\nthey again buy freely. The fact that\nChina still refuses to buy, and that a\nconsiderable quantity of yen is being\nshipped to Japan, rendering tho prospect, of Japanese sales of silver not improbable, nave also been factors in inducing speculators to hold on to their\nstocks no longer. When the price\ntouched 264d a good many purchases\nwere made for India, but when it. was\nseen that sales continued to be pressed\nbuyers again stood aloof.

The indications, however, are\nthat in the near future, its gold output\nwill nearly if not quite equal its other\noro shipments. On the dumps of the\nHighland and Highlander mines, which\nhave beer, accumulating for some time\npast, preparatory- to shipping, some\nsamples were picked up that showed\ngold signs so strongly that assays wore\nmade which indicated the proximity of\na large gold, ore body.

On the old high machines, however, trlek-rlding was comparatively easy. It was only when the\nsafety suddenly became the craze that\nValdare saw his opportunity of venturing on an absolutely new field. The\nINVENTOR OF BULLET-PROOF CLOTH FACES LEADEN MISSILES\nA HIDE ON THE BACK WHEEL.\ndifficulties are so much greater than on\nan ordinary that no comparison can bo\nmade. Both the Vahlares practice two\nor three hours a day to keep proficient\nIn their work. But ln spite of everything they can never be sure that all\ntheir tricks will be successful.\nAs ls nearly always the case with performances such as the Valdares give, n\ncomparatively eusy trick ls quite as\nlikely to appeal to the public n\ufffd\ufffd one to\nwhich they have devoted week after\n\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd6Sk of practice to accomplish. The\nmost difficult performance that Vnldare\ntakes part ln Is riding Ms machine with\nthe front wheel taken off altogether. He\ndoes this standing on the pedals, stooping slightly to ,hold tbe steortag-hend\ntube In Iwth hands, the body thrown\nforward nt an angle of nt least 10 degrees In front of au Imaginary Hue\ndrawn from the axle upwards. In this\nposition lies the secret which it took the\nbest part of a year to discover and appreciate.\nThere Is literally no position which is\nImpossible to the Valdares on their\nmachines. They climb over them and\nA DIFFICULT MOUNT.\nthrough them and round them until\nyou begin to think some supernatural\nagency la preventing the bicycles from\nfalling.\nThe trick which entails the greatest\nstrain physically la that ln which Valdare drawa th* front wheel by gbear\nTHE bullet-proof cloth invented by Brother Caslmir Zeglen of the Catholic\nOrder of the Resurrectionists was successfully tested in Chicago the other\nafternoon on the roof of a building nt West Twelfth street and Ogden\navenue. Brother Zeglen stood behind a framework of wood, iron and armor\nplate, with nn opening in it big enough to expose Mb ehest. He placed the bulletproof coat over his chest, and then Lieut. Sarnecki of the Austrian army fired\nseveral shots from a revolver from a distance of ten paces. The bullet-proof cloth\ndid the work. Tho bullets barely entered the cloth, nnd could be picked out\neasily. On the other side of the cloth there was only a small mark to show for\nthe shot. One shot wns fired from a 50-caliber revolver. Zeglen's chest was free\nfrom any abrasion. There wns n corps of physicians present to see the test. After\nseveral shots hail heen fired nt the inventor's protected chest, Dr. F. S. Wester-\nchulte put on the urmor nnd hnd thc lieutenant tire nt him. He snid when the\nbullet struck it felt ns if he hnd been gently patted by a child. All those present\ndeclared the test a complete success.\nstrength from the ground and rides\nalong gaily with his machine pawing\nthe air, like a rearing horse.\nOnce In Cincinnati he rode one-third\nof a mile in this extraordinary position\nin 1 minute 17 3-5 seconds. Until he\ndismounted he had no Idea what the\nstrain had been. The moment his feet\ntouched the ground they gave way as\nif every muscle had been paralyzed.\nTo climb through the diamond frame\nof his machine Is another amusement\nIn which Valdare Indulges. It can be\ndone by any one who cares to imitate\nhis movements, provided they possess\nthe Heaven-sent gift of patience.\nValdare commences by standing on\nthe left pedal with the left foot, and,\nswinging the right leg to the same side,\nhe thrusts it through the frame, sink-\nlug tlowu till head and shoulders are\neven with the front wheel on the left\nside. Then, with both bands grasping\nthe tire of the front wheel, wlilch Is\nturned nt right nugles, he swings the\nhead and body back on a level with the\nframe. Now the head Is put through,\nand the easier half of thc trick Is accomplished.\nHe has still to come up on the farther\nside, und to do this must shift his hands\nfrom the wheel to the handle-bars.\nThrusting the right shoulder well forward, he grasps the left handle with\nthe left hand from the right side of the\nmachine, keeping the right hand still\non the front wheel. Then he lies well\nforward anil straightens up, swinging\nthe left foot over the saddle, and taking\ncare the wldle not to put too much\nweight on the right-hand pedal, since\nthere is uothlng to prevent the machine\nTWELVE MILES AN HOUR ON ONE WllKKL.\nstarting backwards and throwing out\nthe balance. What could be more simple?\nThere are several pretty exhibitions\nwhich Mrs. Valdare gives alone. In\none she mounts her machine with her\nback turned to the handle-bars and\nrides It thus round nnd round, sometimes steering with one hand, sometimes folding both anus before her.\nIn another, keeping her left foot on\nIts pednl the whole time, she swings\nher right leg over, nnd placing It on tho\nbrim of tho wheel, lowers the machine\ntill it rests on the right pednl. Prom\nthis posture, and without even touching\nthe ground herself, she throws the machine to nn upright position and starts\noff as If there had been no Interruption\nwhatever.\nWhen riding at full speed she will\nnow and then spin her front wheel\nround like a teetotum, without wavering an Inch out of her course.\nMore showy even than this, however, ls tlie way In which she rides,\nstanding first on one pedal and then on\nthe other, keeping both legs always on\nthe same side of the machine; or another trick, ln which she and her bus-\nband swing round and round each other, changing from one side of the machine to the other, while, as if by\nmagic. It continues to run diligently\nabout the stage.\nWhenever a woman asks for safety\npins at a dry goods store, she says they\nara for her sister.\nTHE \"CANADIAN SCRAPBOOK.\nUnique Little Work by Lady Jephson\nWhich la the Talk of London.\nLady Jephson, wife of Sir Alfred\nJoplison, has brought out her \"Canadian Serapbook,\" and the unique little\nwork is the talk of London. The scrap-\nbook fashion is winning Its way well\nInto the affections of the women In\nEngland, and Lady Jephson's book has\nHOTELS AM) KKSTA 1'KANTS.\nLADY JBFHSON.\ngiven U additional charm. It ls a pretty book, put together in the style of the\nold, extinct commonplace book, which,\nby the way, seems lo be reviving If\nLondon gossip tells the truth. The\nauthor of the \"Canadian Serapbook\" ls\na native of Canada, but has lived\nabroad and In England since her marriage. She hns not only a talent for\nletters, but ls adept at art, and spends\nmost of her time ln Italy. With French\nblood ln her veins, and with a perfect\nknowledge of German and Italian,\nLady Jephson Is a most chnrmlng type\nof cosmopolitan. Although her love of\nart ties her to Italy for the greater part\nof the year, Lady Jephson has managed\nto travel very much In other countries.\nAt present she Is established In a pretty\nnew house in Bolton street, London,\nwhere she and ber husband will spend\nall of tbe summer. An evidence of her\nnblllty In art is seen In the beautiful\ndrawings Illustrating the \"serapbook\"\nand In some of the drawings she recently sent to Prince Charles of Denmark\nas a wedding gift.\n\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd An Electric Hansom.\nThe new electric hansom which Is\nnow piling In New York has some\nadvantages over the ordinnry hansom\nns well us over the motor car.

A\nspeaking tul>e enables him to speak\nwith the driver, and an electric lamp\nto read by night. Tliere ls no vibration, and the motor is noiseless in action. The electricity Is carried ln ne-\n.'umulators tinder the seat of the driver, who couitrols the starting, stopping, and brake mechanism by hand\nlevers. The vehicle runs on pneumatic\ntires, and a bell warns people of Its approach.

Moral writers frequently take a\nperverted view of this natural instinct\nand fall in with tho popular misquotation from the biblo that\"Money [instead\nuf tbo love of money] is the root of all\nevil.\" Generally this view is followed\nby a tirade against wealth and gold in\ngeneral.\nIt is this natural desire, however, on\nthe part of man to better his condition,\nt bat has developed tbe resources of the\n'world, \"The divine discontent\" that\nurges us on to butter things, even\n: bough material ones,is a prompting of\nNature that is neither to bo condemned\nnor ignored. In the slow procoss of\nevolution this condition may carry with\nit unpleasant features which man can-\nnut shake himself loose from at once,\nhut the general tendency is upward.\nTbo recent rush to the Klondike, the\nintense interest exhibited in the now\ngold discoveries in South America and\nMexico, Jibe brandnew gold fleldB in\nsouthwestern Oregon, noted in our\nA insworth coi respoudence this week,\nand last, but not by any means least,\nbecause of its nearness to us, tho free\ngold and telluride gold discoveries in\nthe Lardeau, just to the north of us,\nall show that tho thirst for gold is\njust as great and as powerful as in tbe\ndays of '.5 and '50,\nStill, discretion needs to be exercised\nif possible, regarding all of these fields.\nThe bohemian or gipsy Inclinations of\ni in- iivi-rago prospector lead him to\nbelieve that richer Holds are always just,\nover the divide, and to neglect those\nnearer home. The silver-load mines of\nthe Slocan, produce indirectly gold dollars just as surely as do Klondike plu-\nret's. Tbo wonderful advance recently\noccurring in lead, the general upward\ntendency Of silver once more, and tho\n-tiling probability of still better things\nin the future for both of these metal?,\nincline one to ask if bo bad better not\nbe sine before lpavitig tht Slocan that\nbe is not about to leave better things\nfor poorer ones.\nEDITORIAL OUTCROPPINGS.\nMayor Green thinks that it must\nhave been an American paper published in Klondike, that, according to\nIhe Province, wanted to know who was\npresident of this country\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdMr. Buttock\nor Mr. Laurier.\nThese arp great days tor newspaper\nchanges. ,On the heels Of the pur-\nrhtise of the Rossland Miner has\ncome tho Wardner (B.

Vincent and James Lade\nhavo been in Kaslo this week superintending a mill test of two tons of the\nore, which they brought down with\nthem. The figures on this mill test,\nthey aro not yet ready to give out, although it is understood that they run\nhigh. The oro is partly free gold and\npartly gold in tellurium. Tho pockot-\nsampleB that they showed contained\nspecks of free gold, plainly visible, as\nbig as a pin head. A large telluride\nsample was taken to Nelson, which was\npronounced very remarkable by all\nwho saw it.\nThese discoveries are generally\nspoken of as at the head of Gainer\ncreek, but are ss.id to bo really just\nover the divide half a mile above timber line on the Duncan river slope and\nat the head of the west fork of tho\nDuncan river. This being the case\nthey are really tributary to Kaslo\nthrough its water connections with the\nDuncan river and Howsor lake. Tho\nBad Shot mine is about 000 foot below\ntho Lade group and about one-half\nmile south. The distance from hero to\ntho head of Hall oreek, or to the main\nDuncan river, is about eight miles.\nThe proposed Kaslo and Duncan River\nRy. would thus pass within eight mlleB\nof their claims. The tind will doubtless stimulate the building of the\ntalked of wagon road to the Hall croek\nand Duncan mines. Tho outlet le\nmuch easier this way. The distance to\nFerguson from tho Lado group, is 15\nmiles southwesterly, 11 of which Is\ntrail. To Trout Lake City is 20 miles.\nThe two tons of oro brought to Kaslo\nfor a mill test were packed out in (10\nsacks, on horses, and shipped via the\nArrow lakes and Sandon. It has the\ndistinction of being the first ore\nshipped out of the Lardoau region.\nOther properties, like the Silver Cup,\nare, so far, piling up their ore waiting\nfor better transportation facilities.\nThe Lade brothers have had gold\nmining experience in Nova Scotia. In\nprospecting this region July 29th of\nthis year, their practiced eyes saw\ngold signs and they proceeded immediately to locate their claims. Other\ngold .signs had been noted thereabouts\nbefore. Neil McFadden had found\nfree gold float on Hall creek this year.\nThe Bannockburn group has produced\nore running $8 in gold besides from\n50 to \ufffd\ufffd0 ounces in silver and 8. per\ncent, lead.\nDevelopment work began on the\nLade group, August 10, twelve days\nafter location. The claims are llvo\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\nthe Olive Mabel, Little Fred, Foundation, Goldenv;ile and Annie L.

Benedum, assay or at Silverton, ran\nfrom $97 to J2,98ll to the ton. Grab\nsamples taken as they ran from each\nsack gave assay results that justiiiod\nan estimate of $-480 per ton on this\nshipment. An assay made in Kaslo of\na rich specimen gavo $11,340 per ton.\nTho formation of the claims Is gray\nslate aud seems to Indicate .a blanket\nload under numerous small leads, cross\nveins and fissures. Tho vein on tho\nOlive Mabel is a loot wide and yielded\nfive tons from un eight foot shaft, out\nof which tho two tons aforesaid wore\nselected and Bhipped. This vein\nruns under a glacier a short distance\nfrom tbe shaft.\nThe Lade brothers are preparing to\nreturn to thoir claims soon and hope to\ndo about a month'B further wor]_ before\nthe winter of that high altitude\nsets in.

Constable Mountain\npassed through Kaslo with his prisoner Friday evening on route for Nol-\nson with extradition papers, where he\nwas surrendered to United States officers. Taylor is a man about 36 yoars\n\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd of age, with rather a light complexion\nbut black moustache and grey eyes.\nHo stands about 6 feet 7 inches high\nand weighs probably 146 pounds. He\nhas worked around Sandon for some\nmonths past, tho latter fout.being cook\nat the Selkirk mine where he was\nwhen arrested by Constables Mountain\nand Callin about noon on Thursday.\nConstable Mountain was away at\nKamloops with a prisoner for some\ndays and on his return Thursday\namong his mail matter was a warrant\nendorsed by Judge McAdam of Nelson,\nasking bIm to arrest John Taylor for\nshooting a sheriff in Arkansas some\nfour years ago who was going to arrest\nhim for cattle stealing. But very little was learned of Taylor's history\nwhile hero. Ho put in his time the\nsame as other men of his class, and\nsaid but little about himself, but generally gave out ho was tho owner of a\nranch in Idaho, and on one occasion\nsaid he had been in Arkansas.\nCoining down, however, he made the\ndamaging admission that he had expected to be arrested but not for murder. Another damaging feature in his\ncase is that he is alleged to havo several aliases, tno last one being \"John\nTaylor.\" He took his arrest very coolly, howover, and wont with the officers\nwithout a murmur.\nTho detective sent here to locate his\nman, had about given up the job after\na most diligent search, when ho was\nadvised from headquarters that Taylor\nhad written a letter on one of tho letter\nheads of the Selkirk mine. This was\nthe clue that led to his location and ur-\nrest. But for this the detective would\nhave gone home satisfied that Taylor\nwas not In tho vicinity of Sandon.\nfurther Detail* from NiiUon.\nNelson, B. C, Sept. 6.\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdJesse B.

The accused man had been\ncaught ln a serious breach of the\npeace in Arkansas, and a possee was\nsent out with a warrant to capture him.\nThey ran him into a barn and from its\nshelter he fired on the officers, killing\nSheriff Beyler.

Holland was pleasantly observed last Sunday evening at the residence of their\nbrother I. D. Holland. Mr. and Mrs.\nJ. S. Holland were invited in to spend\ntho evening and on arriving, found to\ntheir surprise, about twenty guests assembled, with a number of appropriate\npresents for them, chief among which\nwere a very handsome combination\nbook case and writing desk, with an\nelegant office lamp, a beautiful rocking chair and a medicine chest. These\nwere presented with appropriate remarks by tho donors, and as appropriately responded to by Mr. J. S. Holland. After this, all were seated at a\nbanquet that would have been good\nenough for an original wedding. The\nevening was then spent in listening to\nvocal and instrumental music of a high\nquality and social conversation which\ncontinued until shortly after midnight.\nMr. Holland's friends assured him that\nthis party would have to serve also for\nhis birth day celebration which was\nthen only five days distant.\nThe rains of the past week have given away to beautiful weather both here\nand la the wheat fields of the Palouse.\nNEW ROLLING STOCK.\nThe tug Kaslo, Captain Angus Cameron, towed in two barges from Bonner's Ferry, arriving here Sunday afternoon, loaded with new rolling stock\nfor the Kaslo & Slocan railway. The\nstock was manufactured in St, Louis\nand shipped over the Burlington and\nGreat Northern to Bonner's Ferry. It\nconsists of two coaches and fifteen flat\noars. Box coverings will be built here\nfor most of the flat cars, to convert\nthem into ore cars. Tho increase of\ntravel and freight shipments-on the K.\n& S. and the early prospect of a still\ngreater increase, make the new stock\nnecessary. The cars, costing about\n$\",000, are of superior workmanship\nand will reflect credit on both the company and the manufacturers.\nSANDON'S BRIGHT PROSPECTS.\nThe pauicky feeling which prevailed\nhere for a couple weeks is about over\nand confidence is increasing with each\nday, says the Sandon correspondent of\nthe Rossland Miner. More mines are\npacking down ore and taking up supplies than ever before Now work Is\ncommencing on every hand, experienced men are taking advantage of the\nprevailing conditions and getting hold\nof new propositions. The prospects for\nfall business are splendid.\"\nplayed under a double column \"soaro\"\nheading, which for absurdity caps tho\nclimax of anything ever reported before from British Columbia. So far\nfrom having cholera in Sandon,' they\nhaven't that or anything else that i s\nnot good. The health aud busineus\nprospects of the camp wero never better.

C, that the people are fleeing for\ntheir lives from that town on account\nof cholera. Sandon is situated on a\nnarrow gulch leading to Bear lake,\nabout 150 miles to the eaBt and north of\nRossland, The houses are built upon-\npiles and posts over the small and sluggish stream which runs down the\ngulch, the stream acting as the sewer\nfor the ontiro camp. With the subsidence of tho Bpring freshets and partial\ndrying up of the stream the serious\nconditions began to create alarm and\nlife became almost unbearable. Doors\nwero kept closed and all means possible\nwore taken to lessen the evil, but to no\npurpose. A short time ago cholera\nbroke out, gathering its victims at an:\nalarming rate. Sandon is the center\nof a rich silver-beariog country, and it\nis looked upon as one of the most promising silver camps in the entire Rossland field.

A\nrich ore stringer has been encountered\nrecently 50 feet below the surface in\nthe lower or No. 2 tunnel. Lumps of\nsolid galena ore me also found thickly\ninterspersed in the gangue. Develop*\nment work was begun on the Kimberly\nlast August and now consists of two\ntunnels\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdupper and lower. No. 1 tunnel is in 120 feet and No. 2, 100 feet.\nThe ore in general runs about 65 ozs. of\nsilver and 75 per eent. lead. The property is 9$ miles from Kaslo and 5 miles\nfrom tho K. & S. Ry.

O. Robinson, of the firm of\nKeenan & Robinson of this city, and\nMiss Jessie Black of Vancouver were\nunited in marriage. The ceremony\nwas performed at 8:30 p. m. by Rev.\nWm. Meikle, pastor of the church, in\nthe presence of the relatives and\nfriends of the contracting parties. The\nbride was supported by her sister Miss\nEllen, while the groom was attended\nby his brother David. After the congratulations and the usual accompaniment of showers of rice, the young\ncouple drove to the residence of Walter\nBlack, father of the bride. The presents were costly and numerous. Mr.\nand Mrs. Robinson left Vancouver on\nThursday arriving in this city Saturday last where they will in future reside.

He ceases to regard his obligations under the laws. When a great\nmany men reach that point, then society is in danger and the rich man is\nnot sure of his possessions for a brief\nquarter of an hour. Possibly a shock\nis needed to teach somo of these eastern gentlemen a little sense, and maybe the shock is already in preparation.\nThe men who have controlled the legislation of this country, and the press\nbehind them have had no mercy on the\npoor.

England will have to do something for India, and that something\nlooks very much as if it would have to.\nbe the re-opening of the Indian mints.\nThis will bo a greater step toward the\nrestoration of silver than England's\nparticipation in an international monetary coMerence, although that step also\nis not unlikely now.\"\nFurther KvHIciicen of Silver Manipulation.\nBeiug asked if ho could explain tho\nrise this week in silver, Mr. Hyman\nsaid:\n. \"I attribute it to something under\ncover as yet in India. A short time\nago the Bank of England posted notices\nthat it would sell no more council bills\nfor 10 weeks. Council bills are a medium of exchange between the home and\nIndian governments, and the Bank of\nEngland had been in the habit of offering them every week. On that, silver dropped to 51 1-4. Two days after\nthat, government interests went into\nthe market with an announcement that\nthey would buy $5,000,000 worth of silver to ship to India. About the same\ntime it was announced by English papers that there was a shortage of silver\nin'India, and they would have to have\nit. At the timo ol tho suspension of\ncouncil bills, English papers said financial interests would try to oxport gold\nto India, and put that country on u gold\nbaBis. But it is the belief of well informed persons that it would be impossible to do that, on account of the\nnativos' strong prejudices in favor of\nsilver. Silver is the only money thoy\nknew anything about. A mutiny is\nnow in progress in that country, arising from the government's well-directed efforts for the suppression of the\nplague. Still these sanitary stops infringe upon the habits and traditions\nof tho people, and they aro in rebellion.\nNow, if England attempts further to\ninterfere with tho prejudices of tlio\npeople, by destroying or discrediting\nthoir money, she will have very serious trouble on her hands. For tho\npresent however tho government must\nhave silver for the payment of its\nsoldiers and the oxpensos of the campaign against tho natives, It looks us\nIf gold would not do, and that England\nwill be forced to that conviction.\"\nBUSINESS LOCALS.\nRead the News and then subscribe.\nR.

Almost a full\nweek was required to fittingly observe\nthe great etnpire-bulldlng work of Brlg-\nliiun Young.\nIt was on July 24, 1847, that the pioneers emerged from the rugged defile\nnow known us Emigration Canyon and\nfaced a broad aud sunny valley, which\neloped gently to the shores of :m inland sea. On the east, the Wasatch\n\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdMountains, and on the south .'ind west\nthe Oquirrh range made grim walls\nabout the desert. Wheu the pilgrims\nIimi proceeded a little further they saw\nii large fresh lake a few miles to the\nsouth, emptying its surplus waters into\nthe Inland sea through it slender river.\nThese odd conditions suggested a striking comparison to Brigham Young, who\nfelt that he was a Moses lending a new\ntribe of Israel to a new promised hind.\nThe fresh lake was- the sea of Tiberias,\nthe suit one the Dead Sea, tlio river\nwas, of course, the Jordan, This, then,\nwas the new Palestine; and here the\nleader and his followers would build n\nnew Jerusalem. Advancing n few miles\nInto tbe valley, and halting near the\nbunks of a roaring brook, Brigham\nYoung Struck his stuff upon the ground\nof its resources In the future, the broad\nfoundation of its economic life is in its\nIrrigated soil. There nre some remarkable facts to be recorded about Its 19,-\n810 Carma. In the lirst place, 17,(184 of\nthem nre absolutely free of all Incumbrance. The average size of these\nfarms Is twenty-seven acres, but as\nsome large ranches are Included In this\nestimate, the figure given for the average Is rather too high.

There nre occasional arrests\nunder the Edmunds-Tucker law, but\nthere seems m> reason to doubt Ihe\ngood faith of the church Ln discountenancing the practice.\nThe older generation of Mormons\nrule the church, but tlie younger generation rule'the State.

They are universally devoted\nto diversified agriculture, nnd thus render their unmortgaged proprietors absolutely self-sustaining.\nIn another Important respect these\nfarms differ from those elsewhere.\nTheir owners do not live, ns a rule,\nupon the farm acreage, but Lu villages\nor home centers. These are located tit\ncentral points In bodies of 5,000 to 10,-\n000 acres. The farmers have their\nhomes ou acre lots in these villages,\ngetting from Mils small area many of\nthe things they consume, nnd having\nthe social advantages of town life to a\nConsiderable degree. The church Is\nalso the dance hall, and in tlie remotest\nhamlet there Is a Sunday night dance\nled by the bishop. These social arrangements have contributed much to\nthe contentment of the forming population. There hits been less tuinptn-\ntlon for the boys and girls to leave the\nsoil and go to the large towns than\nelsewhere. The people live under such\nconditions that neither panics, strikes\nnor wars rouhl seriously menace their\nthree menls n dny.\nThe Mormons are admittedly the\nfounders of irrigation among Anglo-\nSaxons. Until they made their lirst\nrude canal from City Creek on thnt\nJuly dny. in 1847. men of their race had\nnever dealt seriously with this indus-\nliitn of strong supiiort among the members of the church, not even wlieu he\nvigorously attacked tho leaders for\n\"using the lively of heaven to serve the\ndevil iu,\" ns he once did lu the bent of\nthe campaign, The first Representative\nchosen to Congress, C. E. Allen, hnd\nbeen for yenrs a powerful nud uncompromising opponent of the church. Hut\nhe was elected with the aid of Mormon\nvotes. The twelve apostles are divided\nbetween the two great parties. The\ndivision which has come after forty\nyenrs of political solidarity appears to\nIk; genuine, and the people carry on\ntheir discussions with the proverbial\nzeal of new converts.\nWhile the Mormons nre domlnnnt In\nUtah, nnd are likely to bo for a long\ntime in the future, the gentiles exert\na powerful Influence.

The child might die\nunder the operation. The operation\nmight possibly be of no benefit to her\nnml on the other hand the olinnoes\nwere greatly In favor of her brain\ngrowing to Us normal size. The skull\nlifted, the Imprisoned brnln might grow\nnnd expand until It reached the size\nthat an adult's brain should be.\nAfter the Woodruffs hud thoroughly\nconsidered the matter, they decided to\ntake the chanced nnd have tlie Opera-\ntion performed. A day was appointed\nnud little Emily wns carried down to\n1 St. Joseph's Infirmary by her father.\nI They out off the locks, shaved her head\n| closely and then put her under the Influence of chloroform. It was a delicate operation which the doctors then\nperformed. Ait the temple they cot\ninto the skull nnd on either sl(U> they\ncut out of the skull a round piece nbout\nthe size of a ndckel. Beginning at these\nopenings at tho temple they cut the\nskull open, running back to a point at\nthe very top of the head. The cut was\neleven Inches long and formed a perfect V, with the sharp points at the\ncrown of the head and the other points\nat the two temples. The ekull was\nlifted slightly and after all the necessary surgical work the wound was\nbandaged up. The little girl was left\nin her bed and the next morning when\nthe physicians called was playing with\nhex doll, all unconscious of the fearful\nopening In her head.\nAfter ten days at the Infirmary she\nwas sufficiently recovered to be taken\nhome. She showed no signs of the terrible ordeal except an Increased nervousness. Her parents declare she is\nImproving every day and they have\ngreat hopes of ber mind growing Into\nnormal proportions. The doctors say\nthat Improvement must be slow, that\ngrowth will be a gradual process, and\ntl wttl be six months at least before\nany perceptible change for the better\ncan lie noted. Atlanta pnysicians hnve\nbeeu roused Into deep Interest over the\ncase, and the scientific world waits\nwith anxious scientific Interest.\nMAINE'S OLDEST MINISTER.\nRev, Dr. Randall Recently Celebrated\nHis Ninetieth Birthday.\nRev.
