Mr. Van Home's own words : '\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd I have been,\" said he,, ^unusually interested I on this trip. You see this is my second venture ; into this part of; the country.; X -must say that , the ehanges which have tak^h place during the j three years which j have elapsed since then are niost astonishing. ^T(>wns have grown up on all sides and are apparehtly for the most part in..- .a very satisfactory and rlourishing condition. ; - As you are perhaps aware the 0. P. R. has \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdhad outfits of \/engineers in various portions of ; this region for several years. These have been busy in looking, for the most practicable route. \"thVotigliPtrie country south of here. The reason .! of thi^^low progress is simply that in this part of th\"e world mistakes in railroad building are entirely too costly\" not to warrant the taking of every precaution to avoid tliem. The narrow guage iron\/ Leth bridge down to the Crow's Nest \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Pass has been purchased, and pur engineers are now working in the pass with a view to finally determining the exact route for connecting that \\ branch with the system \"west of the Rockies. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd \" yi-is early in the day to attempt to state \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd(definitely, just where the new line will run and where\"it will connect, as niuch of tliatwiirdepend on the results of this season's engineering. Of one thing, however, you may rest assured. Nelson will be the future railroad centre of this portion of British'\"Columbia'. I say this after a careful study of the entire situation. There may be other towns, that in time _ will; grow to equal size, but this place is, by reason of its ; natural advantages.of location and the ease with ! which the surrounding country can be reached, destined to be the receiving and distributing point. It is to be hoped the business men of Nel- 'son will realize this sufficiently to feel encouraged to the eredtion of a better class of buildings Jthan are found in the average mining camp. I am pleased to see that such is, in many instances, already being done. Nelson has long since passed the mining camp stage and should from now on have a steady and solid \/growth. \" Another point wThich I hope will not much longer be neglected is a systematic endeavor to attract tourist travel in this direction. It is a well-known fact that many of the heaviest investors in the West are men who were simply travelling through the country as a matter of curiosity or recreation, and who, while so doing have been become convinced of the resources of \"the place, and so have been led to become permanently interested. You have in this region some of the grandest scenery in the world. Why, this inland navigation you have here is a perpetual poem, a delight from beginning to end, and in the mountains are scenes which would put to shame the Alps.

In case you should forget it, it may be mentioned incidentally that Nelson is going to have a big show on Dominion day. The committee having the arrangements in hand report a big subscription account for games and athletic contests, and they promise the greatest show on earth. '.' The programme of sports as drafted calls for single and double canoe and boat races, for which $90 has been set aside as prize money. In foot racing $112.50 will be contested for, the events being classed : 100 yards race ; boys' and girls' races, under fifteen, fifty yards ; three- legged race ; sack race ; obstacle race ; hurdle race, and the fat men's race. Horse;, racing will have the major portion of the prize appropriation, .receiving over $300. The events are : \\ mile race, best two in three ; 400 yards race, barring winner of the J-niile race ; ladles' riding race ; hurdle race ; and the slow mule \"race. Sixty dollars has been set aside for Caledonian games, which embrace long jump, hop-step-and- jump, running long jump, standing nigh jump, vaulting with pole, throwing heavy hammer and tossing the caber. Provision has also been made for a tug-of-war and the climbing of the greasy pole. Good music has also been arranged for. THROUGH BY OCTOBER 1ST The Nelson cfs Fort Sheppard Railway Now in Such a Position to Warrant This Statement. Work: on the Nelson & Fort Shepp.ard railway is progressing as favorably as could be desired. On this end of the road the work is being handled in good shape. The , wagon road grade is good and will permit of heavy loads of supplies being passed over it in the hear future. The clearing and grading is forging ahead and will be handled even more rapidly when the wagon road permits the establishment of more camps. The track is up to the Pend d'Oreille, and all the material for the steel bridge is how on the ground. The track will be across the bridge by July 1st, and from then on will be pushed as fast as the grades can be prepared for it. With the exception of a little heavy work on the other end the ground is easy, and Chief Engineer Roberts estimates that one mile of track per day can be laid without unduly crowding.the graders. He further states that by October 1st Nelson will have an all-rail connection writh Spokane. About 800 men are now at w7ork on the road and more will be put on right along.

Crisis Now Safely Passed. So far as can be learned the panic in financial circles across the border isjiot nearly so widespread, nor far reaching in its effects as was at first supposed. The trouble seems to be the natural outcome of the flurry iri banking circles in the eastern part of the United States. This has caused the calling in of a considerable amount of western deposits kept'..-for.speculative purposes. Seeing this and fearing h^avy local calls a number or^esl^ni banks have v been attempting to provide against any sudden heavy drafts, and so have not felt as willing to render even temporary assistance to each other as would ordinarily have been the case. The trouble began in Spokane on Monday when under a heavy run the private bank of A. M. Cannon was forced to suspend pay mien t. This had a bad effect on the Washington National Bank,, in which Mi'. Cannon is a heavy stockholder, and by Monday afternoon both the Washington.\". National; and the Washington Savings were compelled: ;to close their doors, unable to meet the heavy dr-airi^on their reserve funds. \\. ; .' '\"\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd.., The Citizens' Savings Bank was affected fty the panic, if such it can be called, but hoped to \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdtide the matter pvefc. The doors = were kept open long after, banking hours in.hopes that confidence would be*restored, and a draft for $100,- .000 was. telegraphed, from New York to Portland, .the nearest point where a sufficient reserve is .kept to stand; such a strain. A special locomotive was engaged to bring in the money, but it failed to arrive, and about 2 p.m. on-Tuesday the Citizens'Savings closed. '\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd' In the meantime the Traders had been submitted to a brisk run, but managed to meet ail .demands, and by one o'clock on Ti^day the excitement died away and alfairs at this institution resumed.their normal condition. This was -caused principally by the fact that many large dealers continued to make unusually heavy deposit at the Traders. The First National experienced no run and was able to continue as usual. The merchants throughout displayed a determinition to stick to the banks and help them out as far as possible. . There is but little alarm felt, as most of the depositors feel that the difficulty is only temporary, and that by the time the suspended institutions are re-opened by the Bank Examiner the inatter will have been satisfactorily adjusted. Locally the interest was chiefly of an indirect \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdnature, as it is believed that the only private bank in this section has made satisfactory arrangements to continue without any trouble and the stability of the chartered banks is so well known as to leave them entirely out of the question. The trouble in Spokane is practically over. G. B. Wright received a telegram on Wednesday afternoon stating that there had been no -more failur&s, and that it was believed the crisis was then over. J. H. McGregor, P. L. S., of Gore, Burnett & Co, Victoria, is in the city with W. S. Drewry's survey party. \\ TffiB MINES: NELSON. B. CU SATUEDAY, JUNE 10, 1893. HYBEAULIO PLACES MINING The Vaia Wliikle Mine, Near Lyitoii, .'ffill Pave a Wash Vp This Weels. Several shareholders of the Van Winkle Hydraulic Mining Company were in Lytton last week in expectation of seeing the first clean up. There was not a sufficient volume of water, however, and the first wash up will probably be witnessed this week. Among those in the party were J. M. Buxton, R; G. TatlowV Edw. Mahon, G? o. DeWolf, EL E. Newton and Mining Engineer Hobson. The Van Winkle company has a subscribed capital of $500,000, divided into 50,000 shares. fhey have constructed a ditch four miles in length and put in 3,000 feet of 22-inch steel pipe, which gives them 375 feet head of water. One eight-inch monitor is ready for operation and a second one will be put in shortly. The dirt show a good average, and when the present hydraulic apparatus is working it is estimated that 2,500 yards can be easily worked in a day. The Lytton claim, immediately adjoining the Van Winkle, also shows every indication of wealth. A. shaft is being sunk to a depth of 500 feet, arid as high as $5 in gold has been washed out of one cubic yard of dirt. Development work on this claim will be pushed forward during the summer. The Fraser, just across the river from the Van Winkle, is also a promising claim. Engineer Hobson has gone up to the Cariboo country to superintend the construction of hydraulic works on the Horsefly placer claim, Which is ov^ned entirely by Canadian Pacific officials, Messrs. VanHorne and Abbott being largely interested. Dredging for Gold Bust. Last week attention was called to some successful experiments in dredging for placer gold in the bed of the Sacramento river. This method of attempting to recover what wonld appear to be utterly lost, is apparently becoming popular -in more localities than one. The latest in this line is the wash of a Chicago company on the -Red Jliver,.near Elk City. Here a large dredge quite similar to those used for clearing channels is at work. It carries strong machinery which takes up the gravel and a portion of the loose iock from the bed of the river. This is sluiced and the ^tailings are piled behind the dredge in such a way as to form a temporary dam and assist in the working of the machine by arresting the current. The company owns land on both sides of the stream and expect to make a good thing of the venture. The machine is capable of handling two yards 6ftdirt per minute and can be worked on very low grade ground. . It is quite probable that there is a number of streams in British Columbia that might be successfully worked in a similar manner, and something of the kind may now be under consideration, as the Gold Commissioner reports an application for terms on a portion of the bed of the Columbia river. The figures were not arrived at, but it is understood the company is thinking seriously of the matter. Married Wednesday Evening. John M. Dfiscoll, of,.this city joined the ranks of the benedicts on Wednesday evening, when he was married to Miss Mary Ross MacRae, of Donald. The knot was tied by Rev. Thos. H. Rogers, at the residence of Capt. McMorris. This the tenth marriage which has taken place in this city. A Convenient Index. Through the kindness of Premier Davie, the Miner is in possession of several copies of the amended Mineral Act. A very convenient feature of the pamphlet is a well arranged index ^ifhich enables the user to find the section covering any given point at once. The Dandy mine will resume operations in the iiear future. The owners are waiting for the snow to give them a chance. As it is melting rapidly they can soon resume work. % General Founders, Engineers, Boiler Makers, and Manufacturers of AH Classes Machinery.

Nelson, B.C LAYING OUT A MDTEEAL CLAIM. What Must he Done to Conform with the Kequire- mcuts of the Acts. From the number of inquiries received at this office it appears that there are many people desirous of taking up mineral claims who are as yet hot very well posted on the requirements of the Act as to the staking out of a location. The following sections are quoted from the amended Act, for the benefits of all such : 14. Any free miner desiring to locate a mineral claim shall, subject to the provisions of this Act with respect to land which may be used for mining, enter upon the same and locate a plot of ground measuring where possible but not exceeding 1,500 feet in length by 1,500 feet in breadth, in as nearly as possible a rectangular form, that is to say : all angles shall be right angles, except incases where a boundary line of a previously surveyed claim is adopted common to both claims, but the lines need not necessarily be, meridional. In defining the size of a mineral claim it shall be measured horizontally, irrespective of inequalities on the surface of the ground, A mineral claim shall be marked by two legal posts, placed as near as possible on the line of the the ledge or vein, and the posts shall be numbered 1 and 2, and the distance between posts 1 and 2 shall not exceed 1,500 feet, the line between posts No. 1 and 2 to be known as the location line, and upon posts No. 1 and 2 shall be written, the name given to the mineral claim, the name of the locator and the date of the location. Upon No. 1 post there shall be written in addition to the foregoing, \"Initial Post,\" the approximate compass bearing of No. 2 post, and a statement of the number of feet lying to the right and to the left of the line from No 1 to No 2 post, thus : *' Initial post. Direction of post, No. 2, feet of this claim lie on the right, and feet on the left of the line from No. 1 to No. 2 post.\" All the particulars required to be put on No. I post shall be furnished by the locator to the Mining Recorder at the time the claim is recorded, and shall form a part of the recore of such claim. When a claim has been located the holder shall immediately mark the line between posts No. 1 and 2, so that it can be distinctly seen ; in a timbered locality, by blazing trees and cutting underbrush, and in a locality where there is neither timber nor underbrush he shall set legal posts so that such line can be distinctly seen. The locator shall also place a legal post at the point where he has discovered rock in place, on which shall be written \" Discovery Post \" ; he shall also set a legal post as near as possible at each corner of his claim, on which shall be written \"-A.B.'s claim, N.B.C.\" (meaning northeast corner), A.B.'s claim N.W.C. (meaning north-west corner), as the case maybe: Provided that when the claim is surveyed the surveyor shall be guided entirely by posts 1 and 2 and the notice on No. 1, the initial post, and the records of the claim. $\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd EXAMPLE OP MODE OP LAYING OUT A CLAIM.

No one knew where he came from, and for that matter no one cared particularly, for it was quite enough to look after personal affairs in a tamp where law was a very indejfinite term and the strong hand more often carried the day. Dusty and ragged he trudged up the irregular street of the cluster of tents and rude log huts, already dignified with the sounding title of Silver Ledge Gity. The stage coach which plunged down the steep mountain side to pick up occasional adventurers beyond the confines of civilization, and then toil up with them towards this latest point of attack upon old Dame Nature's coffers, could not have brought him, for it was not yet in.

Such an arrival did not stop for a moment the dropping fire of question and comment which was just then occasioned by a new and apparently 'rich find recently made by one of the nrst comers to the camp. \"What you goin' to do with her, Jim,\" asked one as he turned over the rich specimen which was being passed around for inspection. \" I'm goin' to open her up,\" was the reply. \" i'm down now to git some men to go out with me. inthe mornin'.\". The words \" git some men \" fell on the ears of the traveller as he paused on the edge of the crowd, and after hesitating a moment he stepped up to the speaker, a gaimtand grizzly old man with keen but kindly eyes, and said.:. \" Do you want men ?\" Old Jim eyed him for a moment. \"Air you a miner v\" *' No, i am not, but I am willing to work and I thought you might be inclined to give me a chance,\" and the speaker turned wearily.as if to move away. \" Hold on pard,\" called Jim. \" You air a likely lookin' cuss and ta-lk fair anyway. Blame ... me it* I don't give you a show.\" -- > Six months under ihe direction of such a tutor as old Jim Burns would have turned a duller tenderfoot than Kalph into something of \"a miner, and between the two men, both of whom studiously avoided any reference to the past there had grown a sympathy no iess strong oecause it had never shaped itself into words. Nothing was said when the young man left his employer to work a claim of his own. The proceeding was in keeping with the usual course of.; events in such a place. He was still only \" Ralph,\" the name he had given his employer o;i the morning they had started for the mountains. No one had ever heard him say a word regarding that outside world where he had evidently held a good position socially, for he was well educated and naturally refined. An occasional fruitless enquiry for mail betrayed his only interest beyond his surroundings. They only knew that he never indulged in any of the fierce dissipation with which many in the camp were accustomed to drown their troubles, present or past. Not able to employ help he worked alone with an energy that was almost savage, and accomplished results that made Old Jim say, \" There air good grit in that boy, an' he's goin' to strike it if work means anything.\" One day found him in the \" general store \" of the camp. He had just completed the purchase of some supplies and paid out the last dollar of the money secured from the first job in the new camp. \" How's the claim, Ralph ?\" called out Old Jim from the other side of the store. \"Well Jim, I scarcely know. I have not struck it yet, but it looks well and I'm going back with some more ' grub' and try it again.\" '* Ya!\" growled Jim, \" Better let her slide an' come out with me. I'm goin' to work some more men on the Howling Liza.\" \" No, Jim, thanks. I must stick to this now. I have spent too much time on it to give it up while there is any hope. By the way, do you know if..the mail is in ?\" . . \" I think she air late, but I'm coming up the trail to-morrow, and I'll bring anything up for \"\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdybu:\" .'\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd.\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd ? \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd;\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd;'\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\/. \" Thanks, Jim,\" and his name passed for the first time.\" ; The next day Old Jim turned off the trail a few miles from camp, and in a short time he arrived in sight of Ralph's shack. A small package was clasped in his brown hand, and he had the air of a friend who hopes to bring good news.' The log shack and little dump near by were deserted, and no answer came to Jim's cheery .Shoilt., .\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd.\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd'';.''.:\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd .' \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Picking up a \" snuff,\" Jim lighted it and entered the tunnel.

Nuisance abated, A synopsis of the grand jury's presentment is appended: A numerously signed petition was presented us, and wTe found that the complaint of the petitioners was based on the spread of the social evil. We believe that the regulation of the evil should be left to the authorities, but that the authorities have been neglectful in the past. Another of the houses complained of (a place of public entertainment) has had its respectability attested by the holding of a session of the court within its walls. We, in order to aid the authorities, brought in a true bill against one of the houses complained of by the petitioners ; and we do recommend that hereafter sessions of the court be not held in buildings used for a business that is considered by many of our people productive of vice andodissipation. We inspected the jail at Nelson. It is now quite inadequate for its purpose and lacking in many things necessary for its good management. We found a prisoner who had ceen seriously injured conijned in one of the cells, and the jailer without any appliances for his treatment ; there is neither bath nor washrooms and only a small stove. The inconvenience of the present system of registering titles has been brought before us. With some twenty registered town plats, some of which are rapidly growing towns, and a large number of conveyances executed in the district, we have no registration office nearer than Victoria. We submit that \"it would scarcely cost the government more to have the work of registration done here than at Victoria, and the economy of time and expense, to say nothing of the lessening of trouble and annoyance thereby effected to our people would be enormous. A lack of facilities for the collection of small debts is a standing erievance in our district. Our people are denied regular times at which to settle their differences in court. Tnis, we believe, is not because of an overworked judiciary but because of an unwillingness on the part of the government to grant our people what is granted those of other and more favoured sections. We find much complaint of the mail service throughout the district. Our development has more than kept pace with the liberality of the postoffice department. There are five newspaper's published in this portion of the district, three banks in operation, six passenger steamers make daily trips, a large number of mercantile houses are established, and our population and commercial interests require great efficiency of mail service ; but from the reports that reach us we find there is a total lack of confidence in the postoffice as a medium for the regular or -punctual transmission of mail. Letters and papers, in great number, are carried by private conveyance;; and the sale of United States stamps, to be used-on letters posted in the United States by outgoing travellers, causes a not inconsiderable loss to the revenues of the postoffice department. ^E\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdI -&& The above Townsite is now placed on the market. It is situated on the north end of Trout Lake, in the famous Lardeau country, which is going to be one of the richest mining regions in America. Numerous rich claims have been found close to this townsite, which will make it the distributing point for an immense tract of country. It is the only level land on the north end of the lake. The owners intend to expend money on streets and other improvements in the spring. The trail from Lardeau City, on Arrow Lake, to Kootenay Lake runs through this townsite.

Several new buildings have been completed within the last week; namely Messrs. \"Montgomery & Pallisk's restaurant, and two other houses on Victoria avenue. The Say ward potel and F. O. Allan's hotel are in running order, the bar at the .latter being open for the sale of \"soft ,'dri'nks ir&il licenses are granted when the raiiroad work has progressed\".two miles beyond the town. A new building is going up on the Esplanade for the sale of cigars, tobacco, sta- , tione.i y and confectionery. The railroad work is proceeding satisfactorily.; The great cuts and fiiii on the route between here aud Waneta show (; out very prominerrt in the landscape. The majority of the rnten who were waiting around have been placed -on '-the-; work and have quit camp. The wagon road along Beaver Creek is advanced twenty miles and by the end of next week will'have crossed the divide into the Salmon River basin ; it will at once strike the north fork on some baauliful open bench land, the property of the West Kootenao Land Company. A camp hospital, consisting of two large marquees, has been established ; the only patient as yet is a young Dago with0 a broken leg. Gilbert Brandt, who has a contract on the right-of way about five miles away, met with a severe, accident on the 7th inst., his head, face and right side being terribly torn and lacerated by a falling log.

Premier Davie and Mrs. Davie were among those travelling as invited guests of Mr. Van - Horne. The Premier promised to return in a week or. two to West Kootenay and speak, at a number of places. - Wm.

Kitchen, M.P.P., came up this morning from Nelson on his way to the Coast. He was very much disappointed because the Premier had not held meetings so far. Production of Gold and Silver. The Spokane Review contains the following summary of the report of the acting director of the United States mint, which will be of interest to miners generally :\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd The acting director of the mint has made an interesting compilation of the gold and silver production of the world since the discovery of America. The total value of the gold product for the 400 years since 1493 has been $8,201,303,- 000, while the value of the silver product has been $9,726,072,500. The coining values are given as being nearly constant, and a more convenient method of comparison than the fluctuating market value of silver in recent years. While the values of gold and silver produced are not so very far apart, the quantities are in the ratio of 5 to 95, owing to the much greater value of an ounce of gold than an ounce of silver. The exact figures for the 400 years, as nearly as can be estimated, are 397,191,823 fine ounces of gold and 7,522,507,716 fine ounces of silver.\" There is no law against wearing Spring Suitings, Overcoatings w\/ , v <. _ .J & We carry a complete Fan tings, stock.

N. P. Snowden, the Victoria capitalist, wiP leave for the Coast in a day or two. He will return in a few weeks to attend to interests in this section. K. K.

Joshua Davies has gone to the Coast, and will be away a month. He has a list of auction sales occupying over two columns of space in fche Victoria Times, and these will have to pass under his hammer ere he returns. c A. _S. Going, C. E., who was chief engineer of the British Pacific Railway Company, and had charge of their surveys, will commence work at once upon the survey of the upper portion of the Hume addition to the Nelson townsite. It will belaid out in half-acre blocks. f'Nelson, B.C., is sure to do a large business this season, and is a very good town for all future use. Its locality makes it a very desirable town for those interested in the mines to take their families, and is accessible to all the routes in the county.\"\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdThe North-West Magazine. Lardo's Latest. The initial number of the Lardo Reporter has Vv been received. The fact of its publication is a strong comment oil the progress of the lively little town which gives it a name. The eight pages of the new paper are filled with interesting and well-written reading matter. James B. Nesbitt is editor and business manager. Good for Spokane, if True. A rumor was received by the steamer Nelson on her last trip, that on Wednesday afternoon the leading citizens of Spokane held a mesting and formed a syndicate to protect the paper of the various banks which suspended payment on the day before. Notices were given to those who held cheques upon any of those banks, or who held certificates of deposits, that all such evidences of indebtedness would be cashed at par upon proper verification and presentation to the syndicate. Such action is quite in keep- ing with the well known character of the Spokane business men, and if it is true will probably save the city from a widespread panic. Interesting and Valuable Work. W. S. Drewry, who is now in Nelson, has charge of a photo-topographical survey which the Provincial Government is just now having made of this section. The process, which is a very interesting one, consists of a series of photographs which are taken from some high point. These photographs are used to get the perspective, and from them maps are prepared which show plainly the contour of the mountains, the exact course of streams, lay of the lakes and wind of the wagon road and trails. A valuable portion of the work will consist of establishing inineraLm^ to which mineral claims can be tied when surveyed, and thus admit of accurate plotting when asking for record. Mr. Drewry expects to spend a month or so with Nelson as a base of supply. The Salmon River Claims. J. Brigman, who has been spending a few days in Nelson, gives a very encouraging account of the outlook on the Salmon. Several hydraulic claims have been secured near the mouth of the Salmon river and all of these give indications of becoming paying producers* as soon as properly opened. Water is easily reached within a mile and can be put on the ground very conveniently. Some Spokane capitalists have become interested with Mr. Brig- man, and in conjunction with him they have purchased a portion of the Bates Bros, claim, which will be needed in opening up their own ground. Careful prospecting has developed the fact that most of these claims will average from lc. per pan, and from the ease with which they can be worked will yield large returns. There is a large amount of ground along the river which was worked some twenty years ago but abandoned owing to high prices for labor and supplies and lack of adequate means to work them properly. These can now be taken up and made to pay well. The coming summer will no doubt see a revival of placer and hydraulic work along the Salmon arid its tributaries.

Kitchen Arrives With His Plan of the Campaign, anavie Administration\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdHenry Croft Chats Upon Railway all'airs and intimates what should have''been done Premier Davie is now on his way to.Chicago , to see the sights connected with the World's Fair. During his brief stay in Nelson The Miner reporter had a chat with him concerning provincial politics, and as a result the following may be expected to happen : That when the Premier has finished some public business at Ottawa he, will return and learn the nature of the objections to th\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Mineral Act as amended for 1S93. He expects to be in Nelson on or about July 4. That the re-arrangement of the government offices in this city may be looked for in about a month, and when it comes Mr. T. H. Giffin will be made registrar and Mr. Goepel recorder, as The Miner predicted several weeks ago. That when re-distribution comes the Government will not consent to any increase in the number of representatives, but will endeavor to equalize the representation by a re-arrangement of the seats. That the Government's supporters will endeavor to believe that by spreading the government buildings expenditure over a series of fifty years there will be no increase in the taxation, and that the new buildings will always be a first, charge against Victoria in the matter of appropriations for years to come. * Thomas E. Kitchen, who sits in the cool shades of Opposition, was also here this week. He started into the Kootenay country because he heard that the Premier was going to address public meetings. Though he has never posed as a party leader' Kitchen is a rustler of the best kind, and he, together with his colleagues, are making an effort to regain the losses attending the defection of Messrs. Punch, Home and Kellie, who have accepted the government livery. Kitchen feels very keenly the government building expenditure, and'will long remember the pain which shot through his heart when Kellie, moved to eloquence in his support of the measure, recommended the government to\" let 'er flicker.\" Kitchen is also uneasy about the British Pacific railway prompters' rnanoeuvers, and is convinced that unless strong pressure be brought to bear upon the government from the inland constituencies the country will be saddled with an additional burden. He believes that a clique in Victoria is fast getting control of the political machine, and if not checked will establish a Tammany rule in British Columbia. He announced to The Miner reporter that the Independents intended to throw Hon. 'Robert Beaven overboard. His generalship not being anymore to their liking than his holding up both hands for the government buildings appropriations. * * Henry Croft, M.P.P., has a business turn to serve in connection with his visit to this section; having the management of several town- sites in the district. In referring to railway matters he expressed his conviction that it would have been better for Kaslo and the entire district of West Kootenay if the charter for the Kaslo-Slocan railway had been granted to D. C. Corbin in preference to the promoters of the Kaslo-Slocan road. He is convinced that the House was misled while matter was befoie it, and he predicts that it will go hard with Messrs. Ewen, Hendry and Munn if they do not abide by the terms of their charter, not only in regard to any extensions but in regard to their bond for $25,000. Another Visitor. Volume 1, No. 1, of The Canadian Engineer, is another addition to an already large visiting list, and a call which The Miner wilLbe very glad to return. The new venture in trade journalism is published in Toronto and Montreal, and is judging from its 28 well-filled pages, destined to make a high reputation along the lines of mechanical, mining, marine, sanitary, locomotive and other branches of engineering. It contains a large amount of news from all parts of Canada of interest to the trades named. It should and no doubt will be a successful venture. Messrs.
