The one and the only drawback\nto Nelson as a desirable place of residence has boon that in the past there\nwas no place outside tbe City to which\none could conveniently ride or drive.\nTbe lake is always au unfailing resource, but there are many who prefer\nland to water locomotion. This stale\nof affairs, however, will soon bo a\nthing of the past. The citizens of Nelson are waking up to the possibilities\nof the shores of onr beautiful lake.\nThe good work bas begun in tho sbapo\nof the cycle path for which money\nis uow Doing raised. It will be remembered that the Oity Oouncil donated $300, and Dr. Doolittle raised $150\nby meaus of a theatrical performance.\nThis was a good start* and the subscription list is still open for private\ndonations. Theso latter are coming\nin, though not quite so plentifully as\nthe object deserves.\nAnother and moro extensive project\nis now on foot, and is quietly and\nunostentatiously being pushed along.\nThis is nothing less than a wagon\nroad to Balfour. Tho soheine may\ncome as a surprise to many bnt it is\nporfeetlv feasible, and the engineering difficulties aro not nonrly so great\nas many seem to suppose. The idea appears to have originated with lhe owners of land on the other side of tbo\nlako, and is in brief a wagon road\nalong the north side of the lake from\nBalfour to a point opposite Roberts'\nraueh. A ferry would be put in there.\nand the road would there connect with\nthe cycle path Whioh is now being\nbuilt. There is already a road of sorts\nfrom hern to Roberts' ranch, and a\nlittle money wonld put it in irood\nshapo. Tho various people who have\ntaken un land through which the road\nwould go havo expressed their willingness to build portions of the road\nthat lie on thoir land at thoir own\nexpense, nud tbey have petitioned\nthe Governmeut for an appropriation\nof $1200 a mile for the intervening\nparts. A grent deal of land has been\ntaken up bv settlers along the lake.\nand probably only about eight or\nnine miles would have to be built at\npublic expense. Mr. Busk, of \"Kokanee Oreek, is interesting himself very\nmuch in the matter, and. it is understood, is willing to aid substantially\nin the work. Mr. Uoborts bas offered\nto give as much of tbo lako front as is\nneeessarv for tho ferry, and also to\nbuild at'his own expense that part of\nthe road which passes through his\nplace, connecting the ferry with the\nroad to town.\nThat is thn shape in which tbe\nmatter stands at present, though nnfor-\ntuately it is doubtful whether tho\nGoverment, will voto the necessary\nmonoy unless pros-sure is brought to\nbear. ' If the matter is taken np bv the\ncitizens nt large, that pressure can he\nbrought to bear, and the road would\nsoon bo an accomplished tact. Tbey\nshould do more. They should go down\ninto their pockets and contribute something themselves. Ml classes should\ncontribute, as such a road would ho a\ngrent boon to all. Thoso who have\nnot taken tho trip havo no idea ol the\nbeauties of tho lako between there\nnnd tho Outlet, nnd n drive or ride\nalong a decent road on a warm summer evening wonld bo ideal, a treat\nwhich no other Oity in tho Kootenays\ncould afford with any expenditure nf\nmoney. Suoh a road would do more to\nrender Nelson attractive to intending\nresidents, than nny inducement which\ncould be held out to them. It wonld\nbe of use nil the vear rouud.fnr in winter it would mnke oxcellent sleighing If the citizens tako tbe matter\nup nnd seo it through, they will do a\ngood piece of work both for Nelson and\nthemselves individually which in after years thoy will never cease to congratulate themselves upon.\nHOW   DAWSON    OITY   BURNED.\nA Detailed Account Given of tho Dis-\nnstrous Fire.\nA Victorin despntch to the Spokes-\nraan-Review gives the following account of the fire at.

Because they do uot cost a million  each,      a    correspondent    at  Washington\nand give employment  to   a  thousand  who gives tho impression   thnt   he  is\nhands, the   eleotors   should   refuse   to  well informed, says  that  the author!-\nvote   the    franchises.     This   is    the  ties there have it in   contemplatim   to\narrantest kind of  nonsense.    What the . raise the duty on  Canadian lumber to\nelectors have to deoide first is whether . four dollars per thousand, and possibly\nthey desir3 to have a  tramway system J six.    This would havo been done some\nintroduced into the City, and to  have j time ago but for  the  reluctance of the\ngas works   established.    As   these are  Secretary of State to engage in retalia-\ndesirable things   in    themselves, they | tion. The   failure of thu Ontario Gov-\nwill probably conclude   to   give  their ernment, however,   to  relax  thoir invoice   in   favor   of   them.   Tben  the\nquestion    arises,     are   we   asked   to\nmake concessions out of proportion   to\nthe benefits   expected?   If   not,   there\ncau be no reason why both  franchises\nshould not be voted.    It is not a question  of   expenditure,   or   of  employment.   A   tramway   cannot   be  built\nwithout money, and no   one   is  crazy\nenough to suppose   that   more  money\nwill be expended on it   than is   necessary for its   construction   and   equip\nment.    Those   at the back of  it   will\nhave to build the road before they can\nhave it, whether it costs fifty thousand\nor   two  hundred   thousand; and  the\nelectors are not so unreasonable   as  to\ndemand   of   them that they shall   put\nmore mouey into it   than is required.\nWhat the   people   want is a tramway,\nwith tbe accommodation it will afford\nand the distinction it  will give to the\nOity;  the  question   of   its   cost  is a\nmatter for those who are providing it.\nThe same with tbe gas works. The\nMiner does not pretend to know how\nmany men there are likely to be employed, nor is it at all essential that tho\nnumber should be ascertained. Nor\ndoes it know the amount of capital that\nwill be required to establish the works,\nalthough in the bylaw itself it is expressly stated that the company shall\nexpend |100,000 within two years or\nforfeit their rights under the charter.\nThat should be sufficient on that\npoint. But here again it is not so\nmuoh a question of expenditure and\nemployment an of publio convenience.\nDo the citizens think it would be a\ndesirable thing to have the choice of\ngas as an alternative light? If they\ndo they will vote for tbo bylaw,\nespecially as they are not culled\nupon to pay anything for the privilege. With the choice of lights, how\never, they get several other advan\ntages. They get the establishment of\nwhat promises to be a large coking\nindustry. Whether this will employ\ntwo men or two hundred men is a mat\nter of littlo concern to any but the\ncompany; whatever the number neces\nsary to establish and operate the\nworks they will have to provide, and\nmore oannot be expected of them.\nThere will also be a supply of gas for\noooking purposes, no small considera\ntion during the summer months in a\noommnnity that pays dearly for its\nfuel, and a supply for motive power.\nThese are great conveniences, and no\none will deny that it is an advantage\nto possess them. It is costing the\nCitv nothing to have these conven\nienoes provided, and those who do not\nuse them will bave nothing to pay.\nUnder these conditions we should be\nacting very foolishly If we refused tbe\nfranchise.\nAs to tbe franchises themselves, all\nthat need be said is that it is necessary to vote them if we are to have a\ntramway and gas works. That is the\ninvariable condition in such oases.\nCompanies do not go around building\nt rum ways and establishing gas works\nwithout the protection of an exclusive\nfranohise for a term of years. In this\nregard, nothing is being asked of\nNelson that is not conoaded everywhere\nelse. It takes a lot of money to establish enterprises of the kind, and although the protection in a sense constitutes them a monopoly the municipal authorities are expected to exact\nconditions that will prevent the\nmonopoly from becoming burdensome.\nWithont the protection no one would\nundertake them. That is the rulo\neverywhere, and it is only childish to\nquarrel with it.\nSPECIAL   VALUES   IN\nEmbossed and Ingrain\nPapers\narsis -w:ej:ei:k:.\nCANADi DRUG\n& BOOK CO.\nKOOTENAY   SUPPLY   CO.\nC.

His business, he suid,\nhad grown to such un extent thnt he\nhud no time to devote to tbe City's\naffairs, nnd us he could not give his\nconstituents the attention they deserved bo wished to be relieved of his\nolliee to mike way for another ninu\nwho could do tho work better. But it\nhappens that Aid. Hillyer has been a\nparticularly good Alderman nnd his associates at the board appreciate this, so\nthey referred the letter of resignation\nto Aid. Hillyer wbo will go into committee of the whole on it for A couple\nof weeks nnd give his linal answer nl\ntbe next meeting of Oounoil,\nThore wns another resignation,\nThis time it was that of Aid. Beer\nfrom tho position of chairman of the\nFinance Committee. It grew ont of\nthe banking question that raised snch\na fuss n few weeks ngo. It will ho remembered thnt tbo four hunks rnpie\nsented by branches in the Cily tendered for the City's account. Tho tender\nof the Bank of Halifax wns *1 per cent\non debentures nccount nnd b'., percent.\non overdraft, while the three other\nbunks quoted li per cent on debenture\naccount nud II per cent, on overdraft.\nThe ICinnnce Committee recommended\nthe ncceptniice of the Bonk of Halifax\ntender ns being the most advantageous, Council adopted thn report but\nhirer the Mayor vetoed it. Borne meet\niugs remarkable for the manner i\"n\nwhich business wns transacted, took\nplaoe, but the mutter remained as it\nwns after the Mayor's vetn. Last\nnight Aid. Beer decided to bring the\nmatter to nn issue nud moved that the\nnccount ho trnnsfeired to the Ihiuk of\nHalifax He stated that the failure of\nthe Council to adopt the unanimous report of the Finance Committee practically amounted to n vote of want of\nconfidence, nnd if the motion did not\ncmry he did nnt seo any otber way\nclour to him except to resicn his position as ebninnnn of Finance. Discussion on the motion brought out the surprising fact that uow the Bank of\nMontreul wns giving better rates to the\nCity than tnat mentioned in their tender. Their tender quoted, on debenture account, ii per cent, und now tho\nOity is getting b per cent, ou that account. Tbis wus arranged without\nany reference to Aid. Beer uud mndo\nhim the more indignant. He characterized such a transaction us a \"catchpenny'- affair, und expressed the grimiest surprise that a reputable bauk\nwould resort to such a measure to retain an ncaonnt, To quote 3 per cent\nand then ullow 6 per eent after another bank had quoted 4 per cent.,\nAid. Beer thought wns a peculiar way\nof doing business. He thnnht tlie\nCouncil would act honorably In accepting tho best tender nud not the figures\nthat were offered after lho tender of\na rival bunk was made public. As\nthere was nt) seconder to his motion he\nresigned bis position ns chairman of\nFinance. To n Miner reporter nfler\nthe meeting Aid Beer stated thnt he\nwould no longer act, ns chairman of lhe\ncommittee, 'the bank account question rested entirely with the Finanoe\nCommittee nnd ns it had been arranged without reference to hiui und ulso\narranged in such a peculiar wny, ho\nfelt thnt as bono longer had the support\nof the Council it wns not right for\nhim to retain oltice to bundle the $10,**\n000 that the Council expected to raise\nby the by-laws to bo voted on next\nMonday. \\ud thus the matter Btands,\nAll the Aldermen were present ut\ntbe mooting.\nAfter reading the minutes of tho lust\nregular und several subsequent specinl\nmeetings of the Council Iho following\nreport from the special committee composed of Aid.

LODGER CHAIRMAN\nResigns His Position on tho\nFinance Committee.\nBANK QUESTION AGAIN\nHon.   I'\nAlii* Hillyer Wisliod to Resign, But the\nAkUmeu Wouldn't Let Him   Pound-\nkeeper More Successful.\nAt the meeting of the  Oity   Oouncil\nlast evening Aid.Hillyer made a determined but unsuccessful effort to resign hfs seat. His business, he snid,\nhud grown to such nn extent that he\nbnd uo time to devote to tho Oity's\naffairs, and as bo could not give his\nconstituents the attention they deserved ho wished to he relieved of his\noffioe to make wny for [mother mnu\nwho oould do the work better. Kut it\nhappens thut Aid. Hillyer bus benn a\nparticularly good Alderman nnd bis associates nt the bonrd appreciate tbis, so\nthoy referred the letter of resignation\nto Aid. Hillyer wbo will go into committee of tbo whole on it for ,1 couple\nof weeks nnd dive bis final answer at\ntbe next meeting of Oouncil.\nThoro was another resignation,\nThis time it* wus thnt of Aid. Beer\nfrom the position of chnirninn of tbe\nFinanoe Committee It grew out of\ntbo bunking question that raised such\na fuss a few weeks ai*o. It will bo ro-\nmembered thnt tbo four banks repre\nsonted by branches in the City tend* r-\ned for tbe City's account. Tho tender\nof the Bank of Hulifnx wns 1 per cent\non debentures nccount and bi., percent.\non overdrnft, while tho three other\nbnnks quoted !i per ceut on debenture\nacoouut and (i per cent, on overdrnft.\nThe Finnnce Oommittee recommended\nthe acceptance of tbe Bank of Halifax\ntender ns being tho most advantageous, Council adopted tho report but\nlater the Mayor vetoed it. Bonio meet\niugs remarkable for tho manner fn\nwhich business was transacted, took\nplaoe, but the matter remained ns it\nwas nfter the Mayor's veto. Last\nnight Aid. Boer deoided to bring the\nmatter to an issuo and moved thnt the\naccount be transferred to the Hank of\nHalifax He stated tbat the failure of\nthe Council to adopt the unanimous report of the Finance Oommittee practically amounted to a voto of want of\nconfidence, and if tho motion did not\ncmry ho did not see any other way\nclear to him except to resiyn his position as chairman of Finance, Discussion on the motion brought out tho surprising faot thnt uow the Hank of\nMontreal was giving hotter rates to the\nOity than tnat mentioned iu their tender. Their tender quoted, on debenture account, ii per cent, and now tho\nCity is getting 5 per cent, ou that account. This was arranged without\nany reference to Aid. Beer and made\nhim tbe moro Indignant. He characterized such a transaction us u \" enroll-\npenny'- affair, and expressed the greatest surprise that a reputable bink\nwould resort to such a measure to retain an nccount. To quote 8 per com\nand then allow 5 per cent after another bunk hnd quoted 4 percent.,\nAid. Beer thought wns a peculiar way\nof doing business. He thonbt the\nOouncil would net honorably iu aooept-\ning tho best tender and not the figures\nthat were offered afttr the fender of\na rival bnnk wns made public. As\nthero was nf) seconder to his motion he\nresigned his position as ehiiiiuian of\nFinance. To n Minor reporter after\ntho meeting Aid Beer stated Hint he\nwould no longer act. ns chairman of the\noommittee. 'Che bunk account question rested entirely with tbe Finauce\nOommittee nnd us it had been arranged without reference to biu, and also\narranged in such a peonliar way, ho\nfelt that as ho no longer hud tbe support\nof tbe Council it wus not right for\nhim to retain oltice to handle tho SiO, -\n000 that the Council expected to raise\nby the by-lnws to bo voted on next\nMonday, -\\iiil thus the matter stands.\nAll the Aldermen were present at\ntho mooting.\nAfter reading the minutes of the lust\nregular and several subsequent special\nmeofings of tho Council tho following\nreport from the special commit ten composed of Aid. Thomson, Hillyer nnd\nKirkpatrick, wus read :\n\"Your oommittee on tbo East Bnd\nof Baker stroot question beg to report\naftor having carefully considered (ho\nmatter that tbey doom it advisable\nthat the Council give the women in\nquestion four (4) months notice to\nvncnte that pnrt of tbe City, nnd your\noommittee further strongly recommend\nthat measures bo token whereby tbis\nolass of society be kept as much as possible in one locality us otherwise their\nremoval from the preseut pluco would\nbe of little object. \"\n!*\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Aid.

The crude\nsmelting ore is ulso to be shipped ut\nthe rato of about 50 tons per week.\nT. A. Helm of the Rio Grande Gold\nMining Company is in town toduy\nand reports good progress on the property owned by his company. This\nproperty consists of four claims on\nPorcupine creek. A fine ledge of concentrating ore seven feet wide bus been\nuncovered and followerl by a tunnel\nnow in 110 feet. The ore consists of\niron pyrites und galena iu a white\nquartz matrix. Another tuunel has\nbeeu driven in 104 feet, crossing the\nfirst lead, and a crosscut is being driven from the breast of this lead to tap a\nfine chute of ore in another ledge\nwhich has beeu disclosed in the shaft\nsunk to the depth of 2b feet. A recent assay from this shaft guve *?('*0 iu\nall values, **30 being in gold, and the\nbalance iu silver and lead.

The mina will\nprobably start up again iu three weeks.\nConsiderable work has been done on\nthe Chehalis property here. This\ngroup which consists of two full claims\naud a fraction is traversed by three\nledges. A tunnel has beeu driven 80\nfeet, crosscutting two of theso ledges.\nThe first ledge varies in width trom\nfour and-\" a half to five feet and has\nbeen further drifted on a distance of\n40 feet, disclosing a fine body of galena and iron ore. An average assay\nfrom this vein gave $16 per tou in gold\nand silver. The further ledge is about\nfive feet wide and carries good galena\nore.

This\nnif-.ns a reduction of 20 per cent in\ntlit, amount of the production of many\nim es, and a reduction of 20 per cent\nin the development work leing earned 011 in the mines preparing for\nproduction and a reduction in tbe supplies used in tne mii.es.\nThe   most     amicable   relations   existed, and still exist, between   the em\nplovers and employed   at   the   mines.\nThe men were   earning   good   wages,\neunal to any being paid   in   camps   in\n: the United Slates,   and   higher   than\nI those -aid in many,and they were rendering good    services for tliese   wages.\nI    If anv discontent was rife at the ex-\n; isting state nf affairs, it was not generally known. It is therefore deeply\nto be regretted that the Legislature\nhas see lit disturb the existing hai-\ninony. to   interfere with tin*   growing\nI prosperity  of   the    mining districts.\nI to reduce the wages earning power of\nthe   men employed,   and   to  interfere\nj wilh the free light of contract   hitherto rnj yed.\nAs to   the future,   after   the 1st  of\nI Juno next, at the mines rooresented\nby the undersigned, tbe standard   rat**\nI of wages that will be paid to skilled\nminers for nn eight hours working day\nwill be three dollars (18.00), and other\nlabor will necessarily bo also paid for\naccording to the time worked.\nTho Hall Miues, Limited.\nThe   London    &     British    Columbia\nGoldfields.
