He\nhad excellent company ou tbe train, and\nwhen within about six miles of tbe coal\nbearing center, there was a crash and\ncrunching of ties that meant an accident.\nIt was a simple case of the rails spreading, and a forced walk to town or a\ndreary wait of several hours. We took\nIbe walk aud found It good, with Charlie\nArmstrong and W. S. Keay as pace\nmakers, arriving at the Royal in good\nshape and in condition for another six\nmile jaunt.   llut we didn't take it.\nThere we met Harry Bently. Kvery\nbody knows Beutley, and it would uot\nin like a visit to Feruie with Beutley\nlelt out. Aud before we had talked with\nhim teu minutes, he had told the latest\nstory, given a host offsets on tbe wonderful coal deposits in tbat part ofthe\ncountry, dilated on the marvelous prosperity ahead for Fernie, arranged with\nthe visiting tenderfeet for a trip to Ihe\nmines and the brewery, ordered three\nrounds of drinks, and when the Cranbrook aud Fort Sleele men declined to\npartake, fainted dead Away. Malcolm\nMclnnes aud Landlord Tuttle revived\nhim witb a glass of water, and the visitors became repentant.\nA portion of the eveniug was spent al\nGeorge Levasseur's hotel, wilh the landlord as host. Levasseur is an Irishman,\nwith a strong French accent aud a big\nheart. He says little, bul keeps up a\nheap of thinking, and thoroughly enjoys\na good story.    \t\nThe Brewery-\nThe neit morning, tfter despatching\na mist appetizing breakfast at the Royal\nstarted for the new brewery that has\njust been completed by Mesrrs. Sick,\nMaulz and Scott, aud were surprised to\nfind such a large institution. The building is 75 feet square, three stories high,\nwith a boiler room addition. It is built\naccording to the latest plans of an up-to-\ndate brewery, and is complete in every\nfeature. From the engine room on the\nfirst floor, to the tank bouse at the lop\nof the building, no expense bas been\nspared to facilitate work and enable\nthem to produce beer that will equal any\nmade. The structure fully equipped\nwill coat about |30,ooo, aud will have a\ncapacity of ao barrels a day. There is\nan ice machine, with a capacity of six\ntons every *4 hours, aud was installed at\na cost f$x>o. In tbe storsge cellar tbey\nbave tank capacity for 1500 barrels.\nEach department is separate and distinct, and fully equipped witli all modern appliances to produce the best results. One little machine about the size\nofa large coffee urn, caught our eye.\nWe were lold it was a filter, and that it\ncost $ 1000. By using it, the beer as it is\ndrawn from the tanks to the kegs, is\nmade as clear as crystal.\nSeveral brews bave been made, and\nabout the first of the month the first\nproduct of tbe uew brewery will be placed\non the market, and about April 15 the\nhock beer will be ready for use.\nSoulh Kast Kooteuay has a great institution In Ibis brewery, since it will be\nable to give to the people a beer equal\nin appearance, flavor aud quality to any\nahipped into the district. The gentlemen who have pnt their money into the\nInstitution are entitled to recognition for\ntheir enterprise, especially as they are\ndetermined lo leave notbiug undone to\nplace their product equal with the best of\nbeers.\nA Jolly Crowd.\nAt noon we took lunch at the \"Green\nCottage\" as the guest of Harry Beutley.\nThan we met the Herchmer brothers,\nMr. Randall and other congenial spirits,\nwho have formed a combination and live\nlike princes under tbeir own vine and fig\ntree. We Indulged in a good lunch,\nheard some good stories about South\nAfrica by Mr. Herchmer aud Mr. Randall, who have just returned, saw more\nmodern fire aruia than we have seen iu\nten yean, and was given a practical\ndemonstration of how a bunch of good\nfellows can have a good time.\nTbt Ceil Mines.\nEarly in tha afternoon found us on the\nwny to thc ufne* in a three seated rig,\nwith George Levasseur as driver, and\nBeutley, Randall, Armstrong and Keay\naa company. Starting at Fernie, one\ngoes up the gulch straight toward the\naky. On oat side are gteat mountains,\non the other nothing but a valley several\nhundred feet below. To fully appreciate\nit, one muat take the ride with George\nlevasseur .holding the ribbons. Thete\nwere times when we would go around a\nsharp curve ou two wheels, and most of\nus were looking in the valley below, and\nwondering bow far we would go before\nw-c slopped- Arriving at the mine arrangements were made for a trip through\nNo 1. Lights iu hand, tbe procession\nstarted Into a long, gloomy tuunel, in\nwhich there was no sound, no light\nahead, no evidence of life\u2014all a dark,\ndreary, hopeless blank. We walked the\nbest we could, stumbling over rollers,\ntracks, bumping our heads against the\nlow roof, and dodging tbe electric wire\noverhead. Suddenly there was a rumb\nling sound ahead. Our guides hurried\nus into a safety bole on oue side. Out of\ntbe durkness came the glimmer ofa light\nand then could be seeu tbe long sinuous\nform of some marvelous animal, with a\nhead flattened in front aud u horrible.\nglowing eye flashing from the center.\nNearer and nearer it came, like tbe great\nserpent ofthe sea, or tbe death dealing\nAnaconda of India, aud there seemed to\nbe no doubt but tbe end of tbe little\nparty huddled to one side had come. It\nreached us, and then we saw that it was\na modem coal train, pulled by uu electric motor, and managed by a coal begrimed individual who calmly rides buck\nuud forth ulone and iu silence.\nWe pussed ou through hundreds uf\nfeet of solid coal, iuto chambers where\nhard working meu were industriously\npicking out the dusky diamonds. To\none wbo has never been in a coal miue,\nthe sensation experienced when 3000 feet\nunder ground is uot the most pleasing.\nWe were noxious to go to the limit, and\nwhen we got there we would have given\nall that we owned at that second to huve\nbeeu ut tbe entrance of the tunnel again.\nAnd our condition was not improved\nwhen the gas in the coal In one of the\nchambers became ignited. We started\nlor the door but George Levasseur and\nCharley Armstrong were ahead of us,\nund Hilly Keay was trying to climb a\nsupport post. Theu a shot was fired in\ntbe level above, and for a moment we atl\nthought ibe end had come. When tbe\nguide asked if we bad seen euough, there\nwas not a dissenting voice, aud uo time\nwns lost In starting on the return trip.\nSo far as lhe writer is concerned he had\nalways been anxious to gee the inside\nworkings of a coal mine. We have seen\ntbem, and tbat experience will satisfy us\nif we live 99years from date. We would\nnot mind working an eight hour shift\nwith a coal company, but we would restrict the scene of our operations to tbe\ncompany's office. No money could induce us to go into thedepths and dig the\ncoal, except by proxy.\nTbe Fernie.coal mlues are a big thiug\n\u2014greater, iu fact, tban the majority of\npeople realize. In No. I there are 5600\nfeet of tunnels, and in No. 2 there are\n3400. The present capacity of the mines\nat Fernie is 1400 to 1500 tons a day.\nThere are 312 coke ovens in operation,\nwith a capacity of 540 tons of coke per\nday. There are building 126 more ovens\nat Fernie and 400 at the Michel mine.\nThis will increase the coke capacity of\ntbe company to 1400 tons per day. Tbe\npay roll this laat mouth at Fernie had\nnearly 800 names, and the one at Michel\n380, makiug a total of more tban 1000\nmen employed at thli time by the Crows\nNest Coal company. The amount of\nmoney paid out in Fernie alone last\nmonth fur wages was 36,000.\nDuring the past few mouths the orders\nfor coke bad been cut down in West\nKootenay. General Manager Wilson\nstated that the company was pushing the\nimprovements as rapidly as possible, aud\nwould put forth every effort to meet the\ndemands ofthe British Columbia mnrket.\nFeruie is going to be a great towu. It\nwill be the coal mining metropolis of\nSouth East Kootenay, and to predict a\npopulation of 8000 or 10,000 for the town\nin the next five yean ia not wild dreaming by any means. Tbere is wealth\nenough In the hills about Fernie to keep\nthousands of men employed for many\nyears to come, and Tbe Herald is pleased\nto see the wonderful progress the town is\nmaking.    \t\nFoil Ball Clak.\nA meeting for the purpose of reorganizing the Cranbrook Football club was\nheld lu the Cosmopolitan hotel Tuesday\nnight.

It also affords dishonest\nmen a grand opportunity to rob those\nwho are always eager to bite at a bright\nhook, without knowing whether the bait\nis gilt or gold. During tbe Rossland\nboom many wild-cat companies became\nalive, and flooded tbe east with fancy\nstock certificates. Thousands wbo could\nnot tell a winze from a hole in tbe roof\nbought a few yards of paper with the\nexpectation of making easy money out\nof their neighbors, or by dividends when\nthe mine turned out its millions. Mosl\nof these people had never learned that\ngamblers prey upon the cupidity of tbe\nhuman race and win their money by\ndexterity, Their desire for gold led\nthem to part with their wealth, and the\nsharks grew fat. Neither of these classes\nare a benefit to any mining camp. One\nis a thief and the other a fool. One produces nothing out of lhe ground and the\nother condemns all miuing ventures because of the bite tbat smarts.\nMismanagement often ruins mines, as\nwell as stock jobbing thieves. Now and\nagain we bear of properties closing down\nbecause they cannot pay their debts, aud\nuiany a good property gels a black name\nin this way. There is uo occasion for\nanything but legitimate mining in\nKootenay. We bave billions of wealth\nawaiting the light of day for tbose who\nhave the money and energy to dig for it.\nTke SI.

It Is true tbat he has been lavish\nIn bis gifts, but Andrew Carnegie stands\ntoday as one of tbe greatest beneficiaries of a system that has taxed the\nmasses to enrich the classes. He was\nat tbi bead of a company tbat made\n125,000,000 In a year, and this vast sum\nwas made by tbe manufacture cf steel\nunder a tariff tbat virtually killed competition In that line In the United\nStates. The people were taxed to the\nlimit to maintain these inordinate profits that turned millions Into the pockets\nof one man each year. Why shouldn't\nbe give away hundreds of thousands '\nHe has advocated this system of tariff\nand used bis great wealth and i tluence\nto keep It ou tbe statute books. These\nmillions he bas filched from the people\nby Imposing unjust burdens on their\nshoulders, should turn b. ck from whence\ntbey came. Philanthropist! Bab'. His\nconscience bas found him out, and If\ngiving unheard of donations to hospitals,\nlibraries and churches in bis old age\nwill square bimself with the Lord before he dies, he proposes to do it. No\nwonder he says chat the man wbo dies\nrich, dies disgraced.\nIt Is well enough to tell tbe truth once\nIn awhile, even If you are referring to\nmen of great wealth.\nWhat Canada needs just now are members In parliament wbo do not think\nthat tha western bonndry Una of the\nDomlaton Is where tbe iua drops behind\nthe Rocky mountains. Anything for the\npromotion of the east is enthusiastically\nsupported; but let lt be a movement foi\nthe development ol tha great resources\nof tha west, and there foi owe a lino of\nobjections that would make a well man\nsick.
