Rounding up a lot of Ohiumen, they drove\nthem out of town, severely maltreating some of them it is said. It is highly prohable that the men who engaged in this outrage will have a taste of\nBritish justice that will uot be palatable. They come from a country\nwhereiu all men are declared by the\nconstitution to be free and equal, but\nwhere brutality has overridden that\nwell-meaning injunction and rendered\nit as naught They are in a country\nthat makes no boast about freedom aud\nequality, but wo fancy that the meaning of these terms will be forcibly impressed upon tbem. It doos not matter\nwho the man is who becomes a deui\nzen of this country, whether China\nman, Japuuese, Hindoo or Mohamma\ndan, yellow, red or black, the law\nstands between him nud violence and\nensures him tlie same considerate treatment as auy white man cau claim, and\nauthority based ou tlie law will exert\nitself to the utmost to protect him\nfrom cruelty or wroug at the bands of\nanyone. Lawless men from the states\nhave no rights of domicile here auy\nmore than a Chiuamau or other foreigner has, so long as he defers to the\nlaw of the land, aud should they undertake to drive out auyone whom they do\nnot like they commit a crime for which\naud law provides penalties tbat will be\nenacted to the letter. Reckless characters who have made the Coeur\nd'Aiene miuing couutry a hell upon\nearth, who have resorted to assassination, wbo have murdered from ambush\nmine owuers aud mine superintendents, who have not hesitated to shoot\nand to slay fellow white men and to\ndestroy their property with dynamite,\nmust leave their evil uatures behind\nthem when they eome to this country.\nIf they do not and engage ia violence\nhere to eveu so insignificant an object\nas a Chinaman, they will find tbat the\nlaw which is a dead letter in the region whence they came, is here strong\nand relentless in pursuit of an offender. There must be no violence of this\nkind hero, and if anyone engage iu it\nhe is oertaiu to bo put away for a few\nyears penitentiary reflection. We have\nenough confidence in the courage of\njudges and jurieB iu British Columbia\nor in any part of Cauada, to know\nthat they will not suffer auyone to be\nsubject to outrago, as these Chinamen\nhave been, without makiug it extremely unpleasant for thoso responsible.\nTo rough lriiuds this may be a commendable way to deal with the Chinese evil, but it is utterly foreigu to\nBritish ideas of right, aud it is upou\nthose Ideas that tlie province will be\ngoverned or it will not be governed at\nall.\nience by auyono, and supplies   can   bo\nhad in plenty.    The hardships encountered by early miners are never  heard\nof and to be on this ground is fortune.\nThere   is   no similar auriferous region\nanywhere else in the world, it is safe\nto say, nnd prospecting and mining in\nthis region have become very  important aud profitable businesses.    Hitherto the country   has  been   free   to  all\nwithout regard to  nationality.     Men\nfrom all parts have goue iu   there, secured  claims,   either   sold    them   or\nwashed theni up   and   departed  with\ntheir wealth, withoot the country being oue dollar the richer.     It   is  tbo\nfashiou to denouuee   the  Chinese  for\nmaking money here and taking it  out\nof the country,  whereby no   one  save\nthemselves   benefit.     There   is  little\ndifference   between  the   methodB    of\nChinameu and those of the  foreiguers\nwho go iu to the gold fields to  secure\nall the gold they can and carry it away\nto foreign   countries.     The  question\narises should not Canada profit by  her\ninestimable  wealth in placer deposits,\nthe like of  which   are   not   presented\nanywhere?   Shonld we not take a  lesson from the   Americans   and reserve\nthese gold fleldB for ourselves and other\nBritish subjects?    Should  we permit\nall this wealth to go out of the country\nand forever away from us, as we have\nbeen doing ?     These    are   questions\nthat   are   most pertinent at this   time\nand the Victoria  Colonist in declaring\nfor restrictions which   will  give  tlie\nbenefits of the placer country to  British  subjects   only,   takes   a  position\nthat  will  commend   itself    to   every\none who has marked tbe unsatisfactory\neffects of the present policy.\nWHEN\n. . .

The\ntime was when prospecting and mining were businesses fraught with bo\nmuch hardships that those engaged in\nthem were considered fully entitled to\nall they found. The gold that they\nsought was usually in regioiiB difficult\nof access and never in such quantities\nto more thuu reward tlie tinder fer his\ntrouble. Therefore no restrictions to\nspeak of were put upon plcacer miners\nand men from all parts of the world\ncould engage in it without question,\nthough it was looked upon as u vory\nhaphazard way of makiug a livelihood.\nBut all this lias changed reoeutly.\nIt has been found that there are large\nareas of exceedingly ricli placer ground\ni.i the northern part of this province\naud discoveries are rapidly extending.\nThey an so easy of access that the jour-\nBey can be  mado  without  lucouven-\nCOMMUNICATIONS.\nMR. THOMPSON'S DISMISSAL.\nEditor Daily Miner,\nSir:\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdI had not intended writing\nanything re Mr. Thompson's reported\ndismissal but his friends keep up such\na roaring that it is necessary for some\none on our side of the fence fti speak\nso that the publio may not be misled.\nThe facts are that the recordership bere\nwas vaoaut and the government very\nwisely preferred to fill it with a friend\nrather than a political enemy. Mr.\nThompson's services as clerk were\nthen unnecessary and were done away\nwith. Had the government chosen to\nappoint Mr. Thompson they would\nhave loft the support of their party\nbere, and the percentage of the other\nBide they would have won over would\nhave been very small. Some politicians here seem to hnve obtained a\nbad stomach-ache as a result of last\nsummer's election, and they are ready\nin their sinking condition, to grasp\nat every straw that comes along, borne\nclaim tliat it is not this aiiuir at all\nthat is irritating them, but thut they\nfancy they cau discern 11 \"nigger\"\nsomewhere in the brush. Their public meeting was a flat failure. Those\npresent \\Vere asked not to voto ou Mr.\nKerr's motion,as to vote for or against\nit would imply that Thompson had\nbeen tired unfairly. As a result ouly\nuineteen voted out of au attondauce\nof bplween 50 and Gu. These were reported as 14 foi and five against. One\nof their party stated at the publio\nmeeting that the officials hore were so\npolite that you could get more information from them iu half a minute\nthan you oould get ut auy of the otber\nKootenay offices in uu hour. I know\nthe statement is uot true iu regard to\nthis office, but if it be true tbat they\nare more courteous here than in other\noffices, I hope the Lord will be merciful to the poor fellows who have to\ndeal at those other offices. If these\nparties had always received civil treatment they would have accepted such\ntreatment from Thompson us a matter-\nof-course aud not made such a howl\nabout ie. I would say to the government, fire every official who bus not\ncommon-sense enough to treat the public civilly.

The building, the lower\npart of whieh will bo occupied by\nstores, has a 50 foot frontage, and a\ndepth of 78 feet. Tho stage, which\nwill bo amply large enough to accommodate auy company likely to come\nhere for some years yot, will be 25 feet\nby 48, tho prosjeniuui arch beiug\n22x1(1. Tho desigu also provides for\nsix dressing rooms, two of which opon\noff the stage, and also two lavatories.\nThe stage will bo fully equipped with\ntrap doors, aud electric light plugs.\nOue of the traps is made especially\nlurge to admit of scenery, aud other\nlarge stage proportios, beiug hoisted\nthrough instead of being brought\nthrough the Auditorium. Tho height\nfrom the stage to the gridiron is 88\nfeet, which will allow of the sconery\nbeing hoisted up.\nThe auditorium which will havo a\nlevel floor to permit of dunces beiug\nheld in it. will be 48 feet by 42, and\nis calculated to sent 400 poople comfortably. Tho gallery which will run\naround threo sides of the auditorium,\nis designed to sout 800 people, and\nwill be fitted with opera chairs.\nThe niuiu entrance to the theatre\nwill open on Ward street, hut thero\nwill also be a large stage ontrauce, five\nfeet wide, opening on Victoria street.\nThe building, which will be fnime\nbuilt of the most substantial character,\nwill be supported on a stone foundation. It will bo lighted by\nelectric light, aud heated hy hot air.\nThore will also be a cloakroom ou\noither sido of the uu.iu entrance for\nthe conveuieuco of f.t'.eBts at dauces,\nentertainments to which thu building\nis peculiarly adapted.\nTho basement will be occupied by\nthreo stores. Two of which will open\non Victoriu street, aud tho other ou\nWard street. Tho dimensions of the\ntwo stores fronting on Viotoriu will\nbe 18 feet frontage by 48, and that on\nWard street 20 by 48.\nThe work on tho building is being\npushed, and while it is yet impossible\nto fix the tlie dute of its completion,\nit is hoped that no long timo will\nelapse beforo Nelson has a theatre\nworthy of the town iu whicli it is situated.\nA   Copper Metallic   Wire Direct From\nNelsou to San Francisco.\nThe Inland Telephone and Telegraph\ncompauy has completed its copper metallic circuit between Nelson and Han\nFrancisco, the connection being com \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\npleted yesterday By the courtesy of\nMr. G. C. Hodge, district superintendent of the company,a Miner ropreseu\ntative was enabled ' to hold the first\nregulur conversations held over the\nwires betweeu Nelsou and Portland,\nexchanging greetings with Mr. F. O.\nMillard, the district superintendent\nat Portlaud, Oregon, and with the re\npresentative of the Oregonian.\nSpokano wus then rung np, and the\neditor of the Spokesman Reviow sent\nhis compliments to the people of Nelson, and to the Miner,\" saying that\nsuch au easy means of communication\nwas cause for congratulation to both\ncities, and inquiring about the latest\nhappenings in Nelson.\nThe new line, wliich is a No. 10, B.\n& S. hard drawn coppor metallic wire,\nworks very successfully, and the conversation with Portland, although the\nspeakers were 800 miles apart, was\ncarried on without difficulty.\nA subsequent conversation with San\nFrancisco oflice was uot so satisfactory\nowiug to a thunder storm whicli was\nragiug in California at the time.\nThe British Columbia end of the line\nis operated by the Canada Western\nTelephone and Tolegraph company,\nwhich connects with the Inland Telephone company at the boundary liue.\nConstable J.

He\nhud crossed the shallow gleaming branches\nof the stream time and again. Ho had\nloomed from tho green swell of tho divide\nover tw green a valley, where wild flowers\nwere thick on the ground and where peach\nand almond trees made pink and white\npatches. Just across the valley tho mountains were half covered with snow, but the\nair wus warm from the sea and the sky\nwas bright blue. So there was excuse for\nhis forgetting tho bicycle and thinking the\nworld a place for romance.\nA plnco for romance, but there can be\nnone without a woman, and there was no\nwoman.\nHe coasted down the Incline of the dl-\nTide and made for tho Monte road by tree\nbordered byways and paths. There was\nnot a tluke of dust in the splendid uir. All\nkinds of picturesque, old world things\nought to happen. In a garden of tills sort\nman ought certainly not to be alone. Some\nnymph should oome dripping and glittering out of the \/.unj.'i, somo slender figure\nBhould push its way through the high,\ngreen burley und the fluffy branches of tho\npeppers and stand beside him. He forgot\ntho barbed wire fence between tho barley\nfield und thc road, the grasses and flowering weeds and tho peppers hid it, but tho\ntsanja rippled nnd purled on, the barley\nwaved In the wind from tho sea, and lhe\nsun gleamed ou an uninhabited world.\nThen a bell rang out just ahead by the\nroadside, and the silence of the spring high\nnoon was filled with tho voices of children\nand young girls.\n'The woman entered the garden. Sho\nwns neither nymph of the znnjn nor sprite\nof the Held, only n black gowned schoolgirl, who stood on the schoolhoufio steps\nund waved u liandkcrehiel at the passing\ntourist. Tlie tourist wns u man und young,\nwhich wus ull the schuolgirl cured about.\nThe girl was pretty und willowy, which\nwus till the man cured about. Ho raised\nhis cap und motioned to a clump of trees\ndown the highway. Of courso she would\nunderstand. It wjls all a part of the ro*\nmance and tlio eountry, and sho understood. She left the calling, screaming\nchildren and her older companions and\nstrolled toward where he sat on tho grass\nundia' the trees. It was out of sight of the\nschoolhouse. Ho watched her black, lithe\niigm-e moving through tlie flecked sunshine tliat ciuno iu through the plumy\nbranches of the peppers. They were all\nalono in thu midst of spring and the garden, birds were singing from the earth,\nthu sun was shining from the sky and tho\nsoft wind blew from the sen beyond tho\nValley. Tlie simwy mountains were fur\naway, and the world on tho other sido of\ntheni yet further.\nHer nume. she said- was Alicia. How\nsweet tho sound of tho vowels, how different tho stern Xelson to which ho had\nto confess! liut even ihat was pretty when\nshe said it. How old was sho? She waa\n16. The heroines of the poets were that\nage. Whero did she live? Some vague way\nover thoro among thc puik blossoms. He\nremembered that whoa he was u chlftl\nthose questions had always begun an acquaintance: \"What is your name? How\nold ure you?   Whero do you live?\"\nAll the wisdom he hnd .accumulated In\nthu years between then and now had vanished. Ho did not want it.

The\nfacts, bo far us he had heen ablo to ascertain, w ere us follows :\nA number of miners got together and\ndecided to drive tho Chinese out. A\ncommittee, accordingly, went to tho\nmines and rounded up the Chinamen\nto tlie number of five, marched thom\ninto Sauilon where they tnrned tliem\nover to another committee, who found\nthem beds for the night and ordered\nthem to leave town in the morning.\nThroe of tliem did so, but two returned to their jobs. One of these wns employed at the Payne mine, and, when\na deputation came to turn him out* a\nsecoud time, the manager stood in the\ncabin dcor, gun in hand, and refused\nto give him up.\nPublic opinion in the Slocan, onr informant went on, was strongly opposed to the action of tbe miners, not because anybody liked Chinese, or approved of Chinese labor, but because\nof the lawlessness of tho methods employed. It was also freely asserted\nthat the miners in question were n\ncomparatively small clique of Coeur\nd'Aleners, who had caused trouble iu\ntheir own country, and were now trying to run this.\nThe Chiuese in question were employed as cooks aud dishwashers, not\nas miners. It is reported that several\narrests will take place in consequence\nof the action takon by these miners.\n1\nISO\nA NEAT TRAP.\n(Continued From Yostorday.)\ntry to rob the name. They have got all the\ntools they need, and today I found a satchel\nto put the mopey in.\"\n\"So you think they are bank robbers?\"\nwas asked.\n\"I am sure of it. Last night they were\nln the back room till 11 o'clock, and they\nwould uot let me go ln thore today. I\nguess they have cut a hole in the floor.\"\nFor three months after the bank opened\na watchman had been kept inside. Then\nsome one growled at the expense, and ho\nwas chnnged to the outside and given the\nwhole block to patrol. For a minute or\ntwo, as Uncle Billy looked so confident,\nthe president wondered if there was not\nsomething in it. Then he felt amused at\nthe idea and said:\n\"Well, Uncle Billy, you are our burglar\ncatcher, you know.    Perhaps you'd better\nsleep in the bank here for n few nights.\"\n\"I'll do it, and I'll catch burglars, tool\"\nexclaimed the delighted old man.\nIt wus arranged that he should be left\nln the bunk at night, and he wns given nn\nunloaded doublo barreled shotgun for a\nweapon and received many cautions. To\ngive you a fair idea of what the robbers\nwero after I must explain that the safe,\nwhich stood outside the vault, was only\nfor day use. At the close of business each\nday everything wus deposited in the vault,\nwhich wus of brick, with a heavy iron\ndoor, and supposed to be burglar proof. As\nUncle Billy couldn't got Into the vault\nand no burglar inside could get out, the\nbank people laughed as tbey asked each\nother how ho was going to work it to capture anybody. Further, he was to be\nlocked in the bank, with no way of getting out.\nOn the second night of Uncle Billy's\nguardianship something happeued which\nParkvllle Ib talking about yet. That day\nthe firm of White & Gregg drew out their\ndeposit, claiming they were going to buy a\nfarm. That night at 10 o'clock, while\nUnole Billy was taking a smoke on his cot\nnear the vault before going to sleep, he\nheard suspicious sounds in the vault. He\nlistened and listened again and after a\nfew minutes was satisfied that robbers\nwore within. They could have got there\nonly through a hole cut through the floor\nof the office above. The old man was not\na bit rattled. He had been appointed burglar catcher to the bank, and horo were\nthe burglars. His idea was to catch them\nInstead of driving them off. It was a\nlucky thing for the First National that\none of the officials with a key to the front\ndoor had left lt lying on a table. Uncle\nBilly saw it as he wondered how he would\nget out on the street. Ho saw tho night\nwatchman down at the end of the block,\nbut had no use for him. The way to capture tho burglars was to get into the\nrooms above, and the old man crept softly\nup stairs and tried tho door of White &\nGregg's oflice to find it locked. He lifted\nthe snsh of tho hull window, crept along\non the cornice, and one of the oflice windows was found unfastened. He crept ln,\ntiptoed across two rooms and into the rear\none, and he was not at all surprised at\nwhat he saw.\nA squnro hole had been cut in tho center\nof tlie lloor, an opening made through the\nbrick vault, nnd the men had descended by\na rope Unole Billy could see a light down\nthere and hear men at work. His flrst\nmove was to draw up tho rope. It wns not\nmissed for several minutes by those below.\nWhen it was missed, a man was boosted\nup lo find 1 ho muzzle ot a shotgun Minis!\nInto his face and to hear Uncle Billy Bay:\n\"You try that again and I'll blow your\nhead off.\"\nThe man dropped back, and next minute Unole Billy was hailed by White from\nthe bottom of tho vault.    He explained\nthat he had discovered tho hole in the floor,\nmade during his absence from the oflice,\nand  had descended  to investigate.    Mr.\nGregg was  there with him, he said, and\nalso a friend.    He talked glibly and coax-\nlnglyahd asked the old man to lower them\nthu rope.    When he refused, they offered\nhim till, 030, \ufffd\ufffd60.    Then  they turned to\nthreats, and, lludlng him still firm and determined, several  shots were fired at him\nfrom  revolvers.    Ho waB   on  his  guard\nagainst them and suffered no injury. Half\na dozen times before daylight came ono of\nthe trio was boosted up, but always to find\nhimself so menaced lhat he was glad to\ndrop buck.    They could not get out of the\nvault by the loor, and Uncle Billy and his\nUnloaded shotgun prevented escape above.\nNo burglars were ever caught in a neater\ntrap, and  this wus of their own making,\nand they hnd planned it from the day they\nrented the oflice.    They wero held in the\nvault until morning and holp came, and\nParkvillo will  never hnvo another such\nBcnsution.   G regg and Whito turned out to\nbo two bad men, wanted  by tho polico of\nthree or four different cities, and tho third\nman wus still more prominent.   They had\neverything arranged to tho smallest do-\ntail, but were brought to grief by a man\nwho didn't know a bunk burglar from the\nmnn in the moon.    The fellows got long\nsentences In prison, and I'nclo Billy got a\npension for life and died less H>*n fire\n, yean ayo. v. B.
