Mason, from tho Nelson Electric Tramway compnny, staling\nthat with further reference to the operation of the tramway, \"and to our president's letter which was laid beforo you on\nthe Sth Instant; I am directed to write nnd\nnsk you to lay this before the council\ntonight, nnd I trust that It will have tholr\nfull consideration. Wo huve received n\ncable from our London offlcers instructing\nus to continue,operations, and the local\nboard havo every hope that the continuation will bo permanent.\"\nTho rending of the letter was not deemed\naltogether satisfactory to the council, as\nit wns not considered a delhtilc answer.\nWhnt thoy wanted to know was what the\ncompany Intended lo do, and not ns to\nwhat the local board hoped lo do. Aid,\nSelous snld that judging from appearances\nthat the London hoard had not yet met\nlo consider tho mntter, hut as they had\nreceived full notice of the city's Intentions\nnt the time of lhe piissing or the bylaw regarding the length of time they would be\nallowed to cease operations without forfeiting their charter he thought that by,\ntho Instructions Iho local board had received they evidently Intended to keep on\n\u25a0\u2022ii nn ing.\nAid. Morrison snld thnt to bring the mat-\ntor to a hend, and have a satisfactory understanding arrived at he would presont a\nmotion to the effect Unit the company's\ncharter hnd been forfeited and that lhe\ncompany he required to furnish Mtno\nguiininlee or n continuous service If allowed tu keep on. A motion was accordingly\ndrafted and seconded by Aid.

Irving gave notice of his intention\nut tho next meeting of the council lo submit n bylaw fixing the eletrlc light rates.\nHo also read a letter which he had received from the elty solicitor notifying him\nthat such a bylaw would havo lo bo prepared and submitted lo the people before\nthe power bylaw could be voted on. The\nletter cnused a long discussion over the\nMunicipal Clauses net, and the portions\nbearing on the proposed action of the city\nin borrowing money sufficient for the Installation of an electric power plant.\nEnough of the rates have to be secured\nto pay the Interest nnd sinking fund on the\namount to be borrowed, and to show that\nthis Is possible a Ilxed rate has to be\nstruck, under the present arrangement\ntlio city turns oft the light after a certain\nnmount of arrears have accumulated, but\nthis is not sufllclent security for the collection of the rales to borrow money on.\nOf course the cily Is responsible for the\nmtes, ns ft collects them, but at the same\ntime to borrow It has to show that the\ncorporation has the legal right and power\nto collect.\nTho city engineer pointed out on a map\nof the city nnd suburbs the places It was\nproposed to extend the limits to. Some opposition has arisen on one of the streets\nas the residents object to paying the\nscavenger rates lhat they will bo compelled\nlo after their premises are included within the city limits.\nAid. Selous gave notice that nt the nex'\nmeeting of the city council he would bring\nIn two bylaws, one to regulate Inundries,\nnnd the other regarding tlie shockers on\nthe foreshore of the Inko.\nIn tho first of these It Is stated that on\nnnd after the dute on which tho bylaw\ncomes Into force Inundries may be established and operated In the city of Nelson\nwithin the following limits, viz.: On that\npart of the foreshore of the west arm of\nKootenay lake lying Immediately In front\nof block \"4 between Cedar and Park\nstreets; that after the said date no laundry\nshall be operated within the city unless the\nsumo be properly connected with tho city's\nwnter mains and tho city's sewerage system, and ample provision shall be made to\nthe satisfaction of the. cily medical health\nofficer for the drainage of all slops and\nmaterials used in wnslilng into the sowers\nof the snld city; thnt nil buildings used as\npublic washlmiises shall be fitted with proper ventilating pipes or shafts of n size of\nnt lenst twelve Inches In diameter, which\nslinll bo carried nbove Ihe mnin rnnf, the\nopening of such' pipe or shnft shall be nt\nlenst 20 feet from any opening or window\nIn said.building, or In nny ndjolnlng building, so Hint all steams or odors mny have\nfull access to lhe outer air.

Morrison that\nthe committee appointed to look after the\nsale of the city horses that wero not needed\nhud closed a deal with A. Stewnrt, soiling\nthe team with full harness for ?200, on\nterms which the city considered satisfactory.\nThere were no other matters on the list,\nbut before the motion to adjourn was passed Aid. Scanlan said that there was a\nmatter ho wished to bring up, and to have\nthe council express Itself on. It was as to\nwhether deliberations of committees of\ncouncil held In private were supposed to be\nhawked around the streets, This wns not\na new matter, it had occurred frccniontly,\nbut should be put a stop to nt once. At\nthese meetings, being private, a member\nwas liable to express himself a good deal\nstronger than would occur at a public\nmeeting. This wns especially tho ease\nwhen arrears of city dues were being gone\nover. It wns the duty of the alderman at\nsuch times to remember that they were\nworking in the city's Interests nlone, and\nthat personal considerations should have\nno bearing. Now, he knew that remarks\nmnde nt the lust mooting by himself bud\nbeen cnrrled direct to the person alluded\nlo, und that In a manner that placed him\nin an entirely false light. When the committee hnd decided on action and an employee of the city was senl to collect a\nbill it was his duty to say thnt he hnd\nbeen sent by tho committeo or council\nwith whatever the message was. It was\nnot, however, his plnce to tell the person\nwhnt uldermun Scanlan or nny other alderman said regarding Hie nccount or person.\nMayor Fletcher\u2014Certainly the committee\nmeetings are supposed to be private.\nAid. Irving\u2014They aro not private,\nwhether they are supposed to bo or not. I\nknow of statements being circulated immediately after such a meeting when tho\nonly persons present besides the commltteo\nwere the cily clerk and Mr. Macleod, 1 hero\nglvo notlco that at the next meeting of the\ncouncil it is my Intention to make a motion\ncalling for the dismissal of Mr. Macleod.\nThe question was discussed at some\nlength, lhe opinion being expressed that\nwhile Mr. Mncleod's duty was frequently a\nvery unpleasant one, yet he had no right\nlo shift the responsibility from tho committee lo any special aldermnn as lie wns\naccused of having done.\nTHE   MOLINEAUX   TRIAL.\nContinued Yesterday With the Dead\nWoman's Daughter as Witness.\nNow York, Oct. 27.\u2014Tho trial of Roland\n11. Mollneaux was continued today. Mrs.\nRogers, daughter of the dead womnn,\nanswering Mr. Osborne's questions, told\nof her going to tho theatre with her mother\non the night of December 27th, of her\nmother's headache in the morning, and of\nher appeal to Cornish for a draught of\nhis bromo-seltzer. She told of the giving\nof the poisoned drink to Mrs. Adams and\nof her almost Immediate collopse, To the\ncounsel for the defense, Mrs, Rogers said\nthat her relationship to Cornish is by\nmarriage, nnd not by blood. She said sho\nhnd known Cornish nearly nil her life,\nund that tho separation from her husband\noccurred a couple of months after Cornish\ncame to New York, wns only n coincidence.\nMrs. Rogers denied absolutely that her\nmother ever hired a letter box from Daniel\nCallahan, who said last week that sho did.\nShe declared that she and her mother\nkopt no secrets from each other. Mrs.\nRogers said that she hnd a private letter\nbox once under nn assumed name, she\nhired it from David Murdock, of 603 Columbia avenue. Counsel were arguing whether\nMrs. Rogers should or should not be asked\nto Identify Cornish's handwriting whon an\nadjournment was taken.\nLOCOMOTIVES  FROM GLASGOW.\nThe Canadian Pacific Railway Has Placed\nan Order For Ton.\nMontreal, Oct. 27.\u2014Unable to secure the\npromised delivery of urgently required\nmotive power from either American or\nCanndian builders, tho Canadian Pacillc\nrailway hns plnced an order with a Glasgow llrm of locomotive builders for ten\nlurge locomotives.

There was a\nfull representation of hoth operators\nand miners, and members of the press,\nand other interested parties were presont. The commission occupied the elevated seats generally Blled by members\nof the Interstate commission. Judge\nGray, ns chairman, occupied the centre\nseat, and Messrs. Wright, Wntkins and\nClark the seats to the right of him, in\nthe order named, while Mr. Wilson,\nbishop Spauldlng and Mr. Parker sat on\nthe left, in the order ot their names.\nThe proceedings covered about two\nhours' time, and were given up entirely\nto a discussion of the time and method\nof proceeding with the proposed Investigation. The commission decided to\nbegin work next Thursday morning at\n9 o'clock. The first days of the investigation are to be devoted to an examination of the mines and homes of the\nminers, starting in the vicinity of\nScranton, The entire anthracite field\nwill be covered. There was considerable discussion over a proposition mndo\nby the commission to have expert accountants appointed to audit the statements of wages, and the classifying of\nminers to be made by the operators for\nthe use of the commission, but no\nresult was reached on this point beyond\nthe announcement by the chairman of\nthe commission's Intention to appoint\nsuch accountants in case their services\nshould be found necessary.\nDuring the progress of tho meeting,\nMr. Mitchell, as the representative of the\nminers, presented a copy of the original\ndeclaration of the miners, as formulated by the Shamokin convention, as the\nbasis of demands of the miners. This\ndemnnd is, llrst, for an increase of 20\nper cent In wages of those not engaged\nby tho day; second, a reduction of 20\nper cent In working hours of those engaged by the day; third, the payment for\ncoal mined by weight at n minimum rate\nof 00 cents per ton of 2,210 pounds;\nfourth ,a wage agreement between the\noperators and the miners tor adjustment\nof wages.\nWashington, Oct. 27.\u2014Before the\nopening of the arbitration proceedings\nthis morning, tho members of the commission and the representatives of the\ncontesting parties were photographed.\nJudge Gray, chairman of the commission, then read the order of the president creating tho commission, and ln\na general way outlined the procedure to\nbe followed In the presentation of the\nIssues. He said that hi accordance with\nthe Immemorial practice among English\nspeaking people, Ihe commission would\nfirst receive the. statements or demands\nof the miners who were to be regarded,\nfor the purposes of this case, as the\n\u25a0prosecutors. The reply of the other\nside would then be heard, In order thnt\nthe commission might have beforo it n\ndefinite issue. At the conclusion of\nJudge Gray's remarks president Mitchell\nsaid that he had with him the formal\ndemands made by the miners upon the\noperators. At the suggestion of Judge\nGray, he read the demands adopted by\nthe Shomokin convention, the rejection\nof which resulted in the strike.\nWalter Edward Weile was also present\nas a repreRentntlve of the miners.\nPresident Baer objected to the ap-\npoarance of Mr. Mitchell as a representative ot the Mine Workers of Amerlcn,\nbut snld he had no objection to Mr. Mitchell's appearance as a representative\nof the anthracite coal miners generally.\nMr. Baer's objection was to avoid the\nrecognition of Iho Mine Workers union\nas an order. Mr. Mitchell replied that\ntho objection as to his status wns not\nInvolved ln the case. He snld that he\nappeared as a representative of tho anthracite coal miners, nnd distinctly refrained in bis reply from mentioning\nthe union.\nTho commission made no attempt to\nsettle tho controversy, but it was apparent that the recognition of the miners'\nunion would be nn Important nnd\nknotty problem for the arbitrators.\nPresidents Bnor and Thomas suggest\ned that the commission proceed at once\nto the coal fields in order that it might\nbo Informed at the outset as to the\nconditions there. It was agreed that\nMr, Mitchell should Hie with the commission next Monday a detailed statement of the claims of the miners. The\nstatement he read today whs a preliminary statement of the case.! Tho representatives of the operators! announced\nthat they would file nn answer to this\ndetailed statement of Mt. Mitchell's\nwithin three days of its presentation.\nIt was suggested that each side to the\ncontroversy appoint an expert to go\nthrough the books of. the coal companies to secure data upon which to\nwork.   '\nBut president Baer and the other\nrepresentatives of the companies Immediately objected and suggested thnt they\nwould furnish whatever information It\nneeded. This question precipitated a\nlong discussion, in which the coal presidents and the miners' representatives\ntook part. The commission adjourned\nto meet In Scranton next Thursday\nmorning. Before adjourning it was\nagreed that the operators shall submit\nsworn statements as to their payrolls,\netc., and that Mr. Mitchell shall have\nan opportunity of verifying them\nthrough the miners. If discrepancies\nnre found it was agreed the commission shall appoint an auditor, whose\nfindings shall govern the commission.\nPreceding the discussion ovec.open-\nenlng the books to the experts, Mr.\nBaer said the operators would be arm\npared to meet the miners in the region\nand to assist In giving all information.\nMnny of the indvdual operators were\nnot represented and they were not consulted and were not compromised by\nthe letter he had written.\nJudge Gray suggested that thoy could\nbe represented. At tne meeting to be,\nheld Monday they would determine\nwhich of tho companies could be taken\nup first nnd the place of meeting could\nbe determined by the location of the\ncoal company selected.\nMr. Baer said that the case of each\ncoal company should be dealt with sep-\narately. Ho would contend for the\nsliding scale In the regulation of wages.\n\"I shall urge the adoption of the profit\nshaving plan,\" he said, \"which gave us\npeace formerly in our relation to our\nemployees.\"\nMr. Thomns, of tho Hillside Iron Sc\nCoal company and the Pennsylvania\nCoal company, said he noticed that the\nterm \"arbitration\" had been applied to\nthe commission's work, while he wanted\nit considered as an investigation.\nJudge Gray said tho president's Instructions settled it as an arbitration.\nMr. Thomns also urged that the conditions In each of tho mining companies\nwero different, nnd could only be considered separately. Ho thought more\nprogress could be made by nn examination of the coal region. Ho thought aa\nmany of the interests Involved In the\ncontroversy were represented in New\nYork some of the hearings should bo\nheld ln that city.\nTiro suggestion that both sides appoint experts to examine the books of\nthe companies was made by judge Gray,\nthe chairman of the commission. Mr.\nBaer afterwards expressed his disinclination to accept this suggestion. He\nsaid that his company would submit\ntheir payrolls under oath of their accountant. He said they had now 70\nclerks working day and night compiling\nduta for the commission.\nPresident Mitchell said thnt It would\nfacilitate the work of tho commission if\nit would accept a general statement on\nthose issues that affect all the companies and the mine workers alike, for\ninstance the question of shorter hours.\nMr. Truesdalo suld that his company\nhad a plan by which tt wns hoped to\nspeedily adjust the differences between\nhis company nnd the men. His plan was\nfor tho miners to appoint a commission\nto meet a commission of his company\nnnd discuss their grevances, and if\nthere were any such that could not bo\nsettled, then those Issues should go before the commission for final arbitration.\nMr. Mitchell snid that ho would not\nbe Insistent on this subject, and, turning to Mr. Baer, said: \"If wo are able to\nagree as to what rates are paid for different classes of workmen, the monthly\nand annual earnings, that would form a\nbasis of any arguments that might be\nmade on either side.\"\nJudge Gray expressed the opinion that\nit would be a criminal waste of time to\ndispute over facts that could be veritably and accurately ascertained without\ndispute. \"When once ascertained,\" he\nsaid, \"their interpretation is another\nthins.\"\nMr. Mitchell declared that it was his\ndesire to facilitate matters and that\nthere should be mutual agreement on\nthe facts, and that controversies should\nbo eliminated if possible. \"That Is the\nonly object I have In view,\" said he,\n\"in asking that the rates of wages as\nshown by the companies' books be verified.\"\nPresident Baer responded by saying\nthat the men would know whother the\ncompanies' payrolls were right, and no\nissue would arise on that subject.\n\"Will your statement give the different classes of workmen,\" inquired Mr.\nMitchell.\n\"Undoubtedly,\" said Mr. Boer.\nAfter further controversy between the\nmembers of the commission and the\nminers and mine representatives, judge\nGray modified his suggestion, this time\nputting it in the shape of a propostioh\nthat only nn expert accountnnt bo appointed who should analyse the facts\nfor the consideration of the commission. Mr. Baer promptly accepted the suggestion, and Mr. Mitchell followed suit.\nAfter a.brief explanntion on his part,\nchairman Gray announced that the\ncommission for the present would proceed without appointing nn expert, but\nthat It would require that statements\n| be? presented, and added that an accountant could be secured in case it\nwns found his services were needed,\nThe question of the examination by the\ncommission into the conditions into\nwhich tho mining of anthracite coal is\nconducted was then entered on, and Mr.\nWatklns, of the commission, suggested\nthnt a week or ten days' time would be\nnecessary in order to make adequate\nexamination of the physical conditions\nabout the mines. He appealed to Mr.\nThomas for his opinion ns to tlio lime\nj necessary, and that gentleman replied:\nI \"You will certainly need that much\n! time. I should think thai 30 days would\n| bo none too little. We've grown grey\nIn our study of that question,\"\nMr. Baer also fell in with the suggestion, saying that it would be Impossible to do justice to tho Investigation\nwithout a complete inspection of tlie\nmines and the methods of operating\nthem. Mr. Mitchell thought that not\nonly should there be an inspection of\ntho mines, but also of the homes of the\nminers.\nAfter consulting the members of the\ncommission president Gray announced\nthnt it would begin its inspection next\nThursday, commencing Its work in district (W), ln which the city of Scranton\nis located.\nWhile the subject was up, Mr. Bner\nsaid that the mine operators would furnish all the facilities at their command\nto enable the commission to make lis\ninvestigalion thorough, adding that they\nwould plnce a special train at the disposition of the commission, providing\nalso for the occoinmoilatlon of the representatives of the miners. The public\nmeeting of the commission came to a\nclose and the commissioners retired for\ntho purpose of private consideration.\nThey first took up tlie question which\nhad been rnised by the offer of a special\ntrain by Mr. Baer, nnd immediately decided not to accept the train. Tlie exchange of views brought out the facts\nthat the commissioners expect personally to pay all of their own expenses,\naccepting no favors, and relying on the\ngovernment to reimburse them if so disposed. An ngreement was reached to\nleave the hotel Jermyn, in Scranton. nt\n11 o'clock next Thursday morning for the\nfirst tour of Inspection. There was,\nhowever, no agreement ns to whal mines\nshould be visited first, that point lining\nleft for future termination.\na cnpllnl of hnlf a million. The head office\nIs lo bo In Toronto.

It was explained to the South Wales\nmen that their action ln producing work\nfor'the Standard company cheaper than It\nwas done in America was an encouragement to the company to light the American workmen for lower wageB.

Among\nthe various proposals was one for Ihe\nentire abandonment of the present dock\nand wharf system, on which tbe recent\ndock commission proposed to expend\n$140,000,000, and the conversion of six\nor seven miles of the river into a vast\ntidal dock, furnishing ample room for\nall kinds of craft.\nDISTINGUISHED MASON DEAD.\nToronto, Oct 27.\u2014 Rev.

The Gold Hill is a\nlocation of 1896, which was made in the\nname of Alexander McDonald, of this\ncity, and although the locator of the\nproperty pursued his search for the\nledge with the greatest of diligence, It\nwas generally conceded that the laugh\nwas upon him and the men whom be\nemployed. +\\n*\\\nThe claim was located upon a very\nfine surface showing, assays from tho\ncropplngs of which ran well up in the\nhundreds of dollars in gold values. With\nthe first assessment, however, It was\nfound that there had been a slip, nnd\nto give the property a value it becamo\nnecessary to llnd the ledge in plnce. This\nmeant a lot of plucky work, but tho\nlocator of the property was equal to it,\nand he commenced a long crosscut for\nthe lead. This work he commenced In\n1898, and year after year ho continued\nit until lad week he encountered the\nledge after tbc driving of a tunnel a\ndistance of between 600 nnd 700 feet.\nThe showings on lhe surface wore\nvery encouraging, nnd tho cropplngs\nassayed nil the way from ?15 to |300.\nmany of the specimens carrying speckB\nof free gold. The ore also carried some\ncopper, but assays for this vnlue wero\nnever made. Whero the ledge was\nstruck last week It gives a depth of at\nleast 300 feet, bo thnt tbe property may\nbe considered fairly well developed, in\nthat there are bucks opened up which\nshould give a considerable tonnage.\nAt the point where the ledge was\nstruck tho showing was not very promising, but after a few feet of drifting\nthe ledge widened out. to 2 1-2 feet, of\nwhich 18 inches is mnde up of a very\nnice looking roso quartz. The ledge Is\nns nice a one as a man could wish to see.\nIt cuts the formation almost at right\nangles, and on both walls there nre\nseams of talcy clay. No assays have as\nyet been made on the quartz, but tho\ngeneral opinion is that it will run at\nleast $;iii to the ton, nnd It Is also\nthought that the entire ledge matter will\nyield a profit upon milling.\nThe ore will not require to go anything like as high as this to yield a very\nhandsome profit, as it. is estimated that\nwith tlie backs developed there is sufficient ore available to mako the owner\nrich if the average value of the oro\nchute does not exceed $20 to the ton.\nThero are two claims in the group,\nwhich are situated at tlie bead of Forty-\nNine creek, about 12 miles from tho\ncity, and already there are a number of\nenquiries for tho property. It cannot\nhe said to be in the market, however,\nas the owner is of the opinion that he\ncnn take out the ore as well as nnyono\nelse. All that is required is a mill, and\nwith a depth secured on the property lhe\nshowing Is BU Indent to warrant the\nerection or a mill, and the securing of\nvory eusy terms from the manufacturers. Another feature which adds to\nthe value of the property is the fact\nthat die ground is remarkably easy to\nwork. This will admit the milling of\nore of a very low grade.\nThe work on the property has been\ndone by Alfred Olson. There was nothing up to date In the workings, and for\nweeks pn.it Olson has been trundelllng\nhis material for the entire length of tho\ntunnel In a wheelbarrow. Since tho\nledge has been struck he has taken out\na considerable quantity of ore. It is\ndoubtful if there is on record a case of\nmore plucky development of a property,\nund Ihe reward for the years of labor la\nin keeping with tbe work done.\nALWAYS OPTIMISTIC.\nEx-Governor Mackintosh Takes a Cheerful View of the Future,\nEx-governor Mackintosh, of Rossland,\narrived in Nelson Sunday evening, ou\nhis way through to tlie northwest from\nthe coast, and leaves Ihis morning by\nthe Crow's NVst boat. He states that\nRossland Is picking up considerably,\nund that the prospects for the coming\nyear ure very good. As regards tho\nKootenays generally he believes that tho\nproblem of cheap treatment of ores in\nrapidly approaching a solution, and that\nwhen this is achieved the country will\nthen lake the place II is entitled to. Regarding the report sent out from tho\ncoast that he had been lo lhe Crofton\nsmolter witli the object of arranging\nfor the treatment of ore from somo of\nthe Kossland mines, Mr. Mackintosh\nsaid that there was no foundation for\nit, beyond the fact that a certain amount of cobalt nnd molybdenite having\nbeen found In the ore of Ihe Giant mine,\nhe was arranging for shipping this to\nCrofton, ns the Trail smelter was not\niittoii for the reduction of such metals.\n'He thought thnt copper and gold hearing ores of the Kootenays were bound\nto bring It to the front even faster than\nstiver and lead, although when the conditions ut present confronting the intter\nclass of mines hnd been Improved thero\nwould be a tremendous revival, especU\nally In the Slocan,\n f Hi SAlLY fowl, NELSON S. 6,   (UESDAY, 66t6lt& 28, iloS\nHUDSON'S BAY\nCOMPANY.\n1NCOHPOHKTED   1S70.\nFall Goods Newly Arrived\nFrench Flannel Blouses\nEXCELLENT VALUES\nBlankets, Comforters ond Flannels,\nHouaefurnishings, Carpets and Curtains,\nBrussels, Tapestry and Wilton Squares and\nRugs.\nLatest and neatest designs and patterns\nln all lines,\nHudson's Bay Co.\nI The Canadian Bank of Commerce!\nWith which Is Amalgamated\nThe Bank of British Columbia.\nHEAD OFFICE-TORONTO.\nPaid up Capital,  (8,000,000;   Reserve  Fund,  \u00ab2,000,000i\nAggregate Resources Over $65,000,000.\n\u25a0ON.

Tho\nMall says that the fact that the minister of railways during his recent western\ntrip has endorsed a state-owned line to\nthe Pacific when our net public debt\nstands at the present figure, must cause\ntho taxpayer many misgivings, and then\nasks whether Mr. Blair's statement was\nmerely a specimen of political kite flying or \"are wo on the eve of another\nappalling Increase in public expenditure?\"\nThis query follows what is virtually\nan attack upon the principle of stute\nownership of railways, the Intercolonial\nrailway and the Australian lines being\nheld up ns living witnesses of the folly\nof indulging In vain hopes of making\nthings better thnn they are. We are\ngravely informed that those who advocate stato ownership \"need not be stigmatized as quacks,\" and then are warned\nthat wo must be always vigilantly on\nour guard against the person \"who\npromises us a uew heaven and a new\nearth.\" It Is, ot course, very kind and\ngood of the Mall to evince such a paternal interest In the peoplo, but It Is very\nevident that it does not realize the\nmeaning of the principle It essnys to\ndiscuss, Can anyone imagine a moro\nconvincing argument than this, advanced by tho Mail: \"To pass over a virtual\ndictatorship in public affairs to a huge\nbody of state employees Is an error\nmoro serious thnn misapplied bonuses\nand high rates. The ono you can reform\nthe other Is Irreparable\" This Is mere\ntwaddle ond the Mall knows it. The\nonly reason it speaks on tho matter at\nall is to throw cold water upon the idea\nof a government line across the continent. Mr. Blair may mean to endeavor to\nhavo such a line built, nnd wo shall be\nglad If ho succeeds In doing so, but it\nwould by no means follow that the control would pass into the hands of th \u25a0 paid\nservants working on It. We notice that\nwhile instance Is made of the Intercolonial\u2014which, by the way, is doing\nnow what it never did before the present ailmlnstration had the management\nof it, serving the people and paying its\nway\u2014and the Australian roads, no mention te mnde of tho German railways\nnor of thoBO of New Zealand.\nBut the Mall, perhaps more with tho\nIntention of bolstering up its alleged\ncase than because of any firm belief in\nwhat It advances, docs not regard with\nfriendly eyes either national or municipal ownership. \"Tho truth is,\" It says,\n\"that essays In cither national or municipal ownership should he tentative and\nexperimental If embarked In at all.\"\nThe Mall must have run across some\nvery hiully mnnnged municipalities or\nj be grossly Ignorant of the trend of public opinion, begotten not of theory but\nof knowledge, of tlie good work achieved\nIn this direction In so mnny cities In\nCanada as well as In Grent Britain. Tho\nMidi should take a run over to Glasgow,\nfor Instance, nnd no one will ncctiso tho\ncanny Scot of risking tho bawbees In\nchiinorlcttl undertakings'! and learn of\nwhat they are doing there. Not tiiilj1\nhave they acquired a magnificent water\nsupply and Installed a first-class electric\ntramway system (which only makes a\nprofit of \u00a3100,000 annually), hut It runs\nits own gas and electric lighting plants,\nowns its own telephones, maintains\nbath and wash Iioubcs, owns markets,\nlibraries, museums, art galleries, parks,\nslaughter houses, model lodging houses,\nemploys 10,000 people ln its many services, and owns more than \u00a313,000,000\nvalue in property. Yet this does not\ncontent it and It is now seeking for\nauthority to borrow, please notice that\nit wants to borrow, \u00a3750,000 for the\nerection of houses for tho poor. Imagine how mnny of these undertakings\nwould have materialized had the Glaswegians been imbued with the same\npusillanimous spirit as the Mail. They\nhave mado a success of what they have\ntaken In hand because they have kept\nmunicipal politics out of the management and have given careful businesslike attention to the working of the several schemes. What a city can do, a\nnational government can and should do,\nthe wailings of tho Mall and others of\nthat Ilk notwithstanding. As for reforming the errors of high bonuses and\nfreight rates, which the Mail says can\nbe done, it would be interesting to know\nhow it would suggest this should In done,\nin, for example, the cuse of the C.P.R.,\nor the Columbia Sc Western, or any of\ntho mnny other subsidized lines British\nColumbians know something about.\nCHINESE IMMIGRATION.\nIt is gratifying to know that some, at\nleast, of the influential British journals\nrealize the importance of treating the\nChinese question as affecting tho colonies, seriously. Too many seem disposed to look upon the objection raised in\nBritish Columbia, It is a pity we cannot\nsay Canada, and Australia to an unrestrained Immigration of Chinese as\nfrivolous, and inspired by the laboring\nclasses only. They do not seem to\nrealize the Important economic effects\nsuch immigration can have upon the\ncountries subjected to It, because perhaps they have not heen brought in contact with them. The London Dally\nNews strikes the right note when it\nsays:\nThe desire of the Australian\nto secure his heritage for the white\nman Is one which must command\ngenernl sympathy. He Is so conveniently situated for Asiatic invasion that the \"yellow peril\" with\nwhich Europe Is periodically threatened is for him a constant and very\nreal danger. More than once he has\nheen brought face to face with the\npossibility of being swamped by\nyellow Outlanders, who, if they could\nnot steal his land from him by\nforce of arms, as is sometimes done,\ncould annex It by force of numbers.\nThe future of tho country clearly depends upon the success of the Australians in stemming the tide of\nChinese nnd Japanese. It is not\nmerely a question of labor and wages\nthough that Is sufficiently serious,\nfor the capacity of tho Chinaman\nfor work is only equalled by his\njoy in his noisome surroundings. No\nwhite man can compete with the\nChincso in the matter of labor conditions. He has no cravings for an\neight-hour dny, nnd his Idea of a\nminimum wage would make a self-\nrespecting British bricklayer blush.\nHe Is a standing rebuke to those who\nask whether poor men can save. His\nthrift is as amazing as his powers\nof endurance. To the sweater be Is\nthe most admirable thing created in\nthe likeness of man, To the worker\nlie is a rival of appalling import.\nBut, ns we have said, it is not only\nor oven chiefly as a candidate in tlie\nlabor market that the yellow man te\nA menace to Australia. He is a bad\ncitizen. The conditions tinder which\nhe lives, the atmosphere which he\ncreates, the problems which he\nraises are all such as a community\nwhich desires to see its country develop on wholesome lines must\ndesire to avoid. The Australians\nare justly proud of their country.\nThey seo in it vast potentialities\nwhich they desire to realize In their\nown way. They havo had sufficient\nexperience to know that allowed a\nfree course tho Chinaman became\nas all pervasive as the rabbit, and a\nfar greater nuisance. And they are\nwisely doing their- best to keep\nhim at bay.\nFor somo reason or other Canada's,\nor rather British Columbia's case, is not\nmentioned by tho London journal. It\ncannot be that it is Ignorant of the\nconditions horo; they havo been so\nwidely discussed that, small a part of\ntho empire as we oro, It Is not likely so\nImportant a question us this, and which\nhas been the cause of so much diplomatic correspondence, can have escaped\nIts attontlon. To mako the case fit us\nall that is necessary is to substitute\nBritish Columbia for Australia; the\narguments that hold good in the ono\ncaso, answer equally well for the other.\nROOSEVELT IS 44 YEARS OLD.\nWashington, Oct, 27\u2014President Roosevelt Is 44 yenrs old today, nnd, according\nto the custom of his family, the anniversary was observed this ovenlng by a\ndinner In which the children participated.

King Charles of Portugal te another who is junior to the\npresident, having been born In 1861,\nwhile his nearest neighbor, Alfonso of\nSpain, has not reached his seventeenth\nbirthday. Ferdinand of Bulgaria is still\nanother, he having first seen the light\nin 1801. Alexander of Servia is quite a\nyouth in comparison with him, however,\nhaving been born in 1870.

G.\nLEAD ORE TREATMENT\nBY BEITS' PROCESS\nImportnnt changes In lend refining practice are bound lo follow, In my opinion, the\nInto demonstration on a large scale, of tho\nlow working cost and high efficiency of\nBetts' electrolytic process of refining load\nbullion. It was my good fortune recently\nto seo this highly Interesting process In\noperation nt Trail, British Columbia,\nthrough tlio kindness of tlio inventor, Mr.\nA. O. Betts, nnd Messrs. Labarth nnd\nAldrldge, of the Trail works, snys a writer\nln the Engineering nnd Mining Journal.\nAs I hove not noticed any ncount in tho\nteehical press of Befts' refining process\nnnd plant, notwithstanding tholr novel\ncharacter and prospective commercial Importance, I will describe these as fully ns\nmy Incomplete notes nnd regard for the\nInventor's Interest will permit.\nA plant of nbnnt 10 tons dally capacity,\nwhich probably cost about $\"25,000 although\nIt could be duplicated for perhaps, $I6,O0G\nat lhe present tlmo, was Installed nenr tlie\nTrail Smelting works. It has boen In\noperation for about ten months, I am informed, with signal success, nnd the erection of a larger plant, of approximately 30\ntons capacity and provided with Improved\nhandling fncilttlos, in now contomplnled.\nThe depositing rooms contain HO lanks,\nbuilt of wood, lined with tar nnd approximately of the size of copper refining tanks.\nUnderneath the lank-room floor, Is a basement pormitlng of Inspection of tho tank\nbottoms for posslblo lenkngo and removal\nof tbe solution of slimes. A suction pump\nIs employed In lifting tho electrolyte from\nIhe receiving tank nnd circulating the solution. In nearly every respect tlio arrangement of the plant nnd Its equipment Is\nstrikingly like that of a modern copper\nrefinery.\nTho great success of tho process is primarily bnsed on Betts' discovery of tho\neasy solubility of lead In an acid solution\nof load fluoslcate, which possesses both\nstability under electrolysis nnd high conductive, nnd from which oxcepilonally pure\nlend may bo deposited with Impure anodes\nat a very low cost. With such n solution\nthere is no polarization from formation of\nlend peroxide on the anode, no evaporation nf constituents except wnter, and no\ndanger in its handling. It is cheaply obtained by diluting hydrofluoric neld of 3.-\nper cont. IIF, which Is quoted In Now\nYork at 3 cents per pound, with nn equal\nvolume of water and saturating It witli\npulverized quarts,.\nAccording to Mr. Betts, nn acid of 20\nJo 22 per cent, wll como to nbout $1 pot-\ncubic foot, or to $1.25 when tho solution has\nbeen slandarlzed with 0 pounds of lead.\nOne per cent, of lead will neutralize 0.T\nper cent H2SIF6. The electrolyte employed\nat tho time of my Inspection of the works\ncontained, 1 believe, 8 per cent, lead und\n11 per cent, excess of iluoslllclc acid.\nThe anodes consist of the lead bullion to\nbo refined, enst Into plates about two Inches thick and approximately of the same\nsize as ordinary two-lugged copper anodes.\nBefore being plnced in position in the tanks\nthey are straightened by being hammered\nover a mould and their lugs squared. No\nanode sacks are employed as In the <.\nKeith  process.\nTlio cathode sheets which receive the regular lend deposits, are thin lend plates obtained by elcetrode-posillon upon nnd\nstripping from special cathodes of sheet\nsteel. The latter aro prepared for use by\ncleaning, flashing with copper, HghtUy\nlead-plating in the tanks, and greasing\nWilli a benzine solution of paraffin, dried\non, from which the deposited lead. Is easily\nstripped,\nTho unodes and cathodes are separated\nby a space of 1 1-2 to 2 Inches in the tank\nand are electrically connected ln multiple,\nthe tanks being In series circuit, The fall\nin potential between tanks Is only about\n0.2 of a volt, which remarkably low voltage is due lo the high conducting power of\nthe electrolyte nnd to somo extent lo the\nI system of contacts used,    Thoso contacts\nare small wells of mercury In the bus-bars,\ni large enough to accommodate copper pins\nI soldered to the iron cathodes or clamped\nJ to 'the anodes.    Only a small amount of\nmercury is required,\nCurrent strengths of from 10 to 25 amperes per square foot have been used but\nnt Trail 1-1 amperes have given the most\nsatisfactory results as regards economy of\nworking nnd the physical and chemical\nproperties of the refined metnl produced.\nA current of 1 ampere deposits ;t.88 grams\nof lond por hour, or transports 3 1-4 times\nI as much lead, in this case, as copper with\nI an ordinary copper refining solution.     A\nI littlo ovor 1,000 kilograms, or 2,210 pounds,\nrequires about 260,000 ampere hours.   At 10\namperes per square foot tho cathode (or\nanode) area should  be about 1.080 square\nfeet per ton of dully output. Taking a layer\nnf  electrolyte  1.5  inches   thick,   135   cubic\nfeet will be found to bo the nmount between the electrodes and 175 feet mny be\ntaken ns the totnl quantity of solution\nnecessary, according to Mr. Bells* estimate.\nTho Inventor states that he has worked\nconHiiitthlsly and succenlBfulIy with a drop\nnt potential of only 0.175 volt per tank,\nfind that therefore 0.25 volt should be un\nample alowance fu regular refining. Quoting Mr. Belts; ''200,001) ampere hours at\n0.26 volt works out to 87 electrical horse\npower hours of 100-horse power hours at\nthe engine shuft, iu round numbers. Estimating that 1 horse power hour requires\nthe burning of 1.5 pounds of coal, and allowing say liOO pounds fur casting the\nunodes und refined loud, each ton of lead\nrefined requires the burning of 210 pounds\nof fuel.\" With coal at $0 per ton the\ntotal amount of fuel consumed therefore\nshould not cost ovor U0 cents, which Is\nfor below the cost of flro-refiiiing base lead\nbullion, as we know.\nIn the Bells' electrolytic process, practically all the Impurities In thu base bullion\nremain us a more or less adherent coating\non the anode, uud only tho zinc, Iron, cobalt\naud nickel present go into the solution.\nThe anode residue consists practically of\nall the copper, antimony, bismuth, arsenic,\nsilver and gold contained iu the bullion,\nand very nearly 10 per cent, of its weight\nln lead. Having the analysis of any bullion,\nIt is easy to calculate with theso data the\ncomposition of the anode residue und the\nrate of pollution of the electrolyte. Allowing 176 cubic feet of electrolyte por ton of\ndaily output, It will be found that In the\ncourse of a year theso impurities will have\naccumulated to the extent of a very few\nper cent. Estimating that the electrolyte\nwill have to be purltted once a year, the\namount to be purified daily Is less than 1\ncubic foot for each ton of output. The\namount of lead not immediately recovered\nin pure lead form Is about 0.3 per cent.,\nmost of which Is finally recovered. As compared with tho ordinary llre-reflned lead,\nthe elcetrolyticully refined leud Is much\npurer and contains only mere traces of\nbismuth, when blsmuthy base bullion Is\ntreated. Furthermore, the present loss of\nsilver In fire-refining, amounting It Is\nclulmed, to about 1 1-2 per cent, of the\nsilver present, and covered by the ordinary\nloss in assay, Is to a large extent avoided,\nas the silver In the electrolytic process is\nconcentrated ln th anode residue with n\nvery small, loss and the loss of silver in\ni-oflulng the slimes Is much less than in\ntreating the zinc crusts and rellning the\nsilver residue after distillation. The silver\nslimes obtained at Trail , averaging about\n8,000 ounces of gold and silver per ton, arc\nnow treated at the Seattlo Smelting and\nRefining works. There the slimes ure\nboiled with concentrated sulphuric acid\nand steam, allowing free access of air,\nwhich removes the greater part of the\ncopper. The washed residue is then dried\nIn pnns over steam colls, nud melted down\nIn a magnesia brick-lined reverberatory,\nprovided with blast tuyeres, and refined.\nIn this reverberatory furnace the balance\nof the copper left In the slimes after boiling, Is removed by the addition of niter\nas a flux, and lhe antimony with soda.\nThe dore bars finally obtained nre parted\nIn the usual way with sulphuric ucid.\nmaking sliver .090 fine and gold bars ut\nleast .992 fine.\nAlthough the present method for recovering tho precious metals und by-products from the anode residues leaves much\nroom for improvement, the use of the\nBetts process muy be recommended to our\nlead refiners, because It Is a more economical and efficient method than the flre-\nreflning process now ln common use. 1\nwill state my belief in conclusion, that the\npresent development of electrolytic lead\nrefining, signalizes as grent an advance\nover zinc desilverlzatton and the flro methods of rellning lead us electrolytic copper\nrefining does over the old Welsh method\nof refining that metal.\nSALSBURY JENKIN'S SCHEME\nMr. Salshury Jenkins stepped out upon\nthe hotel porch under the fire of inquisitive glances wjth an easy nonchalance of manner, which comes only with\nlong practice. He was the latest arrival.\nHe lit hiB cigar and gazed with an indifferent curiosity upon the crowd. Mr.\nSalshury Jenkins waa an observer\u2014\nespecially of women, and he speedily\nmade up his mind that the girl in the\npink dimity at the end of the piazza was\nthe one girl in the crowd. Having\nreached this conclusion he rested not\nuntil he had been formally introduced\n\u2014having been formally introduced he\nimproved his opportunity.\nA day or two later he sat on the railing looking down upon the girl, as she\nreclined in an easy chair. She laid down\na hook, with a sigh,\n\"What do :?u think of it?\" queried\nMr. Jenkins.\n\"Perfectly lovely,\" returned the girl,\n\"Masterson, the hero, is such a line\nfellow\u2014the kind of man who's strong\nand brave and risks his lifo for women\nand really accomplishes things. I could\nfall In love with a man like that. I'm\ntired .of the rest\u2014the kind who talk all\nday about books and the theatre, the\nraces and golf. Masterson was so different.\"\nMr. Jenkins winced. For two days\nhe had held forth upon golf and tbe\nraces, the theatre and books. Still, he\nthought, complacently, of his manly\nappearance, and he considered that he\nwould push Masterson, the book's hero,\nclose for second place, But it was up\nto him now to make an impression\u2014to\nprove his supremacy. He preferred to\neclipse Masterson if possible. To this\nend he racked his brain.\nAnd then\u2014a sublime idea occurred to\nhim; tho more he thought of it tbe\nmoro he liked it\u2014and as he contemplated it he thought it must end in but one\nway\u2014witli the girl's arms around bis\nneck, like the heroine's about the neck\nof Masterson. This idea wns not entirely original\u2014he had rend of It in\nfiction, but It was, he considered, without precedent in rent life. It was to\nplnce tlie girl in a situation of apparent\ndanger, from which, without danger to\nhimself, he would gloriously rescue her.\nIt was a great Idea, and Mr. Jenkins\nworked it out.\n\"Well, mister,\" said the tramp, glancing doubtfully nt Mr, Jenkins' well-\npadded shoulder, \"I'll tell you how it. Is.\nI stood up once to have a man knock\nino down for $G\u2014it was John L. what\ndid it. An' he broke me nose. I don't\nwant no more of it, I don't want you\nto uso me rough.\" Mr. Jenkins reassured him.\n\"Well, then, I'll go you, mister. I'm\nnot much on scaring   women,   but I\nb'pobo I could do It ou U pincli, . AU\nright, I'll go you. Only,\" he added,\n\"don't you use me rough, and don't you\nhit me on the beale.\"\nNext evening at sunset tho girl Set\nout for her customary Walk through the\nglen. She always went alone. Mr.\nSalshury Jenkins had often offered to\ngo with her, but, although exceptionally gracious to him at other times, she\nhad acknowledged his suggestion with\na glance which, in another person,\nwould have been a stony glare. This\ntime he did not offer. He watched her\ndisappear In tho woodland path, and\nthen he followed her.\nTho glen was a wild and wlerd and\nlonely place, especially after sundown.\nMr. Jenkins felt that keenly. But he\npressed on after the girl. Occasionally\nhe caught glimpses of her\u2014but finally\nhe lost her.\nSuddenly he heard a wild scream\u2014a\nwoman's scream. Por an Instant it\nfroze his blood. Then he braced up\nand spurted on ahead, shouting as he\nwent\u2014he, the deliverer, in a reassuring voice. He reached the spot The\nfirst thing he saw was tbe girl\u2014he\ncaught sight of her through an opening\nin the leaves. She was standing near\na tree, her eyes opened wide with\n\u2014fright?\u2014no, with interest. She was\ngazing intently at some spectacle. Jenkins knew not what. Her expression\nfor an instant gave him pause. Then\nho stepped forward, cautiously, rather\nthan Impetuously, as he had intended.\nAs he did so he heard fierce imprecations in one voice, gutteral entreaties\nin another. And then he saw that his\ntramp was being beaten and pounded\nunmercifully by some young giant in\nthe most approved manner. For a\nwhile the tramp put up a real or pretended resistance\u2014then he weakened.\n\"Don't, don't, Aister,\" he pleaded.\n\"Ain't yer got yer money's worth? Stop,\nmister. No! no! no! not on the beak,\"\nhe screamed in agony. For his opponent had planted a vigorous blow upon\nthat already fractured member. He\nfollowed it by nnother blow that sent\nthe tramp sprawling, Tho tramp, seizing his chance, scrambled to his feet\nand scampered through the underbrush\nand out of sight.\nAs he did so, the girl, with a cry,\nsprank forward and threw herself into\nthe man's arms, clinging closely around\nhis neck.\n\"Duncan, oh Duncan,\" she cried.\n\"Duncan, my preserver.\" The man held\nher close .and bent down and kissed her,\nnot once, but many times. As he did so,\nJenkins saw his face and knew him. It\nwas Kennedy, Duncan Kennedy, a mln-\ning engineer, a guest at the hotel. I\nFor the moment Mr. Jenkins was\novercome. He sank upon the ground.\nWhen he recovered his equilibrium he\nfound that they had disappeared, but,\nhearing tho sound of voices on his\nright, he moved in that direction.\nHe came to a small opening. In the\nmiddle of it was an old log.\nOn the log sat Kennedy and the girl.\n\"Dear little girl,\" the man was saying, \"next time I'll come with you instead of meeting you down here.\" It\nwas the trysting place.\n\"Darn 'em,\" said Mr. Salsbury Jenkins to himself, \"that's what brought\nher down here every night!\"\nHe carefully retraced his steps.\n\"Can you tell me,\" inquired Mr. Sals-\nbury Jenkins later, of the hotel clerk,\n\"what is the next train up to the city?\"\nThe clerk looked up. \"Six flfty-Ilve,\"\nho replied. Then, seeing who it was.\n\"What's the matter? Not afraid of the\ngirls?\"\nMr. Salsbury Jenkins was not afraid\nof tho girls, no\u2014but of the girl\u2014that\nwas a different matter.\nAnd then, too, he was a bit apprehensive as regards the tramp.\n_g\nalloti which should appeal to tlie\" weli-J\nknown Oconomy of tho deplirtment over\nwhich you preside.\n(5.)

More, of Nelson, has patented\nan invention for gold dredging that\nshould prove very useful. The buckets\nor scoops of the present style dredge\nopen at the bottom to let the water run\nout nnd to dump. As a consequence of\nthis It is clnlmed that much fine gold is\nlost In handling. Mr. More's Invention,\nof which he has a working model, consists of a bucket and mechanism for\ndumping from the top, the bucket being\nsimply upset. As in scooping up the\nsand from the bottom the water naturally comes to the top of tbe bucket,\nthere is no loss of the heavier sand,\nsuch as occurs at present. The system\nappears to be very simple and ingenious.\nThere was a crowded congregation at\nSt. Saviour's church on Sunday evening,\nthe first of a series of nuiBlcnl recitals\nbeing given nfter the service by the\nchoir.

The\ntwo local mills are away behind in their\norders, but this Is principally due to\nthe inability to get cars. The Moyle\nLumber compnny, for instance, have\norders in for between 70 and 80 carloads, and the Bast Kootenay Lumber\ncompany for between 150 and 300 carloads.\nSam Grant and his father, Donald\nGrant, of tlie Moyle Lumber company,\narrived In town last week from Falr-\nhault, Minnesota, and are looking after\nthe interests of the company. The\ncompany has decided to push operations\nwith all possible speed. They will take\nout ns many logs as possible this\nwinter, and will probably enlarge their\nmill to nearly double its present capacity.

They have all the work they\ncnn possibly handle for yenrs to come.\nTho Bast Kootenay Lumber company\nhave somewhat changed their plans\nlately. As near as can be learned, says\nthe Moyie Leader, ntw they intend to\nmove their Moyie mill west to Yabk on\nthe lower Moyie river, and add machinery to double its capacity. Then they\nwill dam Moylo lake at its outlet so\nthey can raise it about two feet and get\na head of water for fluming the logs\ndown the river. In this way they can\ndrive logs clear from tbe bead of the\nlake to their mill down the river. By\ndoing this they have several years cutting tn sight. It is also the intention\nof tbe company to move their Jaffray\nmill to Wardner, on tbe Kootenay river.\nPOPB'S PHYSICIAN SICK.\nRome, Oct. 27.\u2014Dr. LapponI, the\npope's private physician, Is suffering\nfrom appendicitis, and the pontiff is\nmuch distressed.
