To add to its attractions there are very many illustrations scattered through it of mining\nscenes from photographs taken by Mr.\nCarlyle himself in various portions of\nthe province\nin his accompanying statement to\nthe minister of mine's. Mr. Carlyle says\nthat in compiling the statistical soato-\nraent ho has been greatly aided by the\nclauses of the Inspection of metalliferous mines act, 1897, that makes it obligatory for inino owners to send in\ndetailed statements of proqucnon.\nThe consequence is that the tablos he\ngives are very nearly exact.\nlu giving tables as to the production,\n.Mr. Carlyle state\" that tho output of\ntlie lode mines includes the returns tor\nore actually realized upon during the\nyear.

Not only are gold properties now greatly in demand, but also\nsliver and copper, as money-making\npossibilities of the high grade silver\nores, as found in the Slocan, Ainsworth\nand other camps, are acknowledged by\ninvestors, but often ignored by speculators, who wish to cator to the public's\nlaste for gold.\"\nSIlver-IsciMl Mine* to the Front.\n\"The silver mines produced by far\nthe greater part of tho output of the\nmines for 1897, and although silver is\nnot now held in such high favor, its\nfriends are getting handsome returns\nfrom the high grade ores, as produced\nin West Kootenay. With the notable ;\nexception of tho silver-copper ore of\nthe Hall mines, and some of the smaller\nproperties, all of the silvor ore carries\na very high percentage of load or occurs in galona, and in two or three\ncases in galena and blende.\"\n'\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDDuring the past summer tho rapid\ndoclino in tlio value of silver, that\nproved so disastrous to other silver\ncountries, had little affect on our silver\nmines other than to check investment,\nas the ores were usually of such high\ngrade as Lo leave, even at the lowest\nprice, a good margin of profit. The\npriOfl of lead rose considerably, but\nthis increase was offset by the increase\nof export duty on lead into tho United\nStates, our best market, of 1.5 cents\nper pound on tho gross lead contents\nin tho ore.\"\n\"So far all this silve'.r-load oro has\nhad to be exported to the United States\nfor treatment, but at both the Trail\nand Nelson smolters, lead stacks are\nbeing erected, and the smelting of this\nhigh grade lead ore will be attempted,\nproviding \"dry ore.\"' or that containing\nleas than 5 por cent, of lead, can bo got\nto intermix. So far the amount of this\n\"dry\" silver has been very small in\nthis province, and its discovory would\ngreatly serve to simplify tho smelting\nat theso silver-lead ores within our\nown borders.\"\n\"West Kootenay produced nearly all\nof this ore during 1897, tho North Star\nmine in East Kootenay suspending\nshipments until the i completion of the\nCrow'S Nest I'ass railway. As stated\nelsewhere, the average not or yield\nvalues of 33,510 tons of tho Slocan ore\nwere 108.5 ounces silver per ton, and\n44.>per cent, lead, with a total, gross\nvalue of $97.70 per ton, or $50 to $55\nnet.\"\nSi.teller llistiirim and lllvitlenifa.\nIn describing the Hall mines In the\nNolson division the report notes that\nthe matte smelting blast furnace at\nthe works is tho biggest on this continent, and capable of smelting 300 tons\na day.

Cambie, chief engineer of thc\nPacific division and H. E. Boasloy of\nNelson, division .superintendent. Mr.\nWhyto was accompanied by his general\nmaster mechanic, W. Cross of Winnipeg, and by D. P.

Marpole being asked about the\ncompany's plans for Vocal Improvements, such as-warehouses, docks, etc.\non the lots acquired by tho C. P.

This will take\nthe form of encouraging the establishment of industries of all kinds, but\nparticularly smelting and its kindred\nindustries.\nI5y tho middle of next month the\nmagnilicent steamer City of Rossland\nwill bo running on the Columbia rivor\nbetween Kobson and Arrowhead. It\nis expected that this boat will easily\nreduce the timo of travel between\nthose points by 2J hours, making the\njourney one of 7-4 liours instead of 10\nhours. \\nKootenay lako is also to have a fine\nnow passenger and freight Steamboat,\nabout the size of the Kossland, to do\nbusiness principally between Nelson\nand Kuskonook. It will bo built at\nNelson, and it Is snid will\nest, handsomest and larg\nthe lake. It will be of da\nthan the Rossland and wil\nhull.\nIn answer to a ciuery as to when ths\ndraw's Nest Pass road might be ox-\npectod to reach Nolson, ou. repri ,:\nativo was toll that the contract called\nfor the road to bo in then- by ;ho close\nof the year 1900, and il was intimated\nthat.all the time would be used. \"The\nlarge 15-car barge recent ly built at\nNelson,\" continued our iiilie'mnnt,\"t!io\nothers to bo built, as well as tho large\nnew steamer already r iforred to, would\nindicate that wo would make pretty\ngood use of tlio waterway lorsomo time\nto come, while tho costly |iieco'of road\nbuilding iu in operation.'\nwe wish lo say that neither of the proprietors of the B. C. News of Kaslo, whom\nthe Kootenaian is trying to lash over our\nshoulders, are in any way responsible for\nthat article, nor had any knowledge of\nit before it appeared, It remains to be\nseen if the Kootenaian will be fair\nenough to elo justice to a rival and publish this disclaimer on behalf of the News\nas prominently as it made its attack.\nIt seems absurd that any one could\nthink of taking it as a serious statement\nwhen we said that Nelson and Kaslo\nwere jealous of Kuskonook. As soon\nthink ol\" parents being jealous of their\nown baby. Kuskonook is iu a sense the\nchild of Nelson and Kaslo, and is willing\nto acknowledge that, as yet, it is largely\ndependent upon them.\nIt is true that Kuskonook is a lusty infant and is rapidly out-growing the stage\nof short dresses, and expects soon to put\non boots and knee pants. It is even willing now to challenge lo a game of marbles, Ainsworth, Pilot Biy or any other\nofthe older kids along the lake. But as\nto Nelson and Kaslo, they will undoubtedly be the great cities of central Kootenay. While we have ambition to believe\nthat we will some day catch up with\nthem, yet we would never dream ol\"considering them as enemies, and no one\nbut a busybody and mischief maker\nwould go gossiping around trying to\nmake it appear that such was the case.\n\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD Kuskonook Search light.\nPetroleum llelelss Near Kimkuiiiiolc.\nDr. R.

The trails\nacross the Chilkoot and White passes\naro practically im passu I do because of\nthe frequent and severe storms, and\nwill not be in good condition until\nabout the first of April. Tbe result is\nthat thousands of men and thousands\nnf tons ot supplies and mining outfits\nare crowdeel together on this side of\nthe summit and have already reached\nsuch number ami quantity as to create\na blockade.\nIt has heen generally understood\nthat it was foolish to go up to that\ncountry earlier thun Muroh with the\nexpectation of crossing the pusses, and\n(hat one who did so would simply subject himself to a long wait, to needless\nhardships and possible sickness while\nconsuming supplies which should be\nkept for service in the gold fields.

One of these has a trnm rail-\n111111I fe-eieu Dyea to tbe base of the summit ridge, and su electric bucket system acroSS the summit to Luke l.iinln-\niiiiiiiii. The other hus two tramway\ncables leading from the llrst und see-\neuiel divides nml ending ut Lake Linde-\ninanii. Conned ion between the lust of\nthose anel Dyea will tai mude with\nwiigons uml puck animals. Neither\nol these enterprise is ready for operation, and the possibilities ure thut they\nwill not be before the tirst of April.\nWhen in complete opei'utioii, their combined captioily will not exceed 400 tons\nper day. Assuming that by the use\nnf puck animals 1(10 tuns pe-i day e'liiilil\nbe taken over the White puns from\nSkagway, this leuven tie' total enpacity\nof ull facilities provided for both passes\nat SOO tons per day. This means 100\ndays for transporting 50,000 tons that\nwill tie accumulated there by ths flrst\nnf April. In other wordB, accumulations could not be cleared sway before\nthe middle of June. The probabilities\nare, however, that during the months\nof April aud May an equal quantity of\nnew freight would demand attention.\nIu this calculation no allowance is\nmade for the freight which could be\ntaken on sleds by Individuals and by\nthe aid of dogs. This would be inconsiderable. In fact, with such a\nmass of humanity and of goods, ii\n-would be almost im possible for freight\nto be moved at all on tnoso narrow\nportions of the trail where ths right of\nway would be tbe subject of dispute\nand contention. If poople interfered\nwith each other last fall so as to cieate\na blockade on both trails with less than\n6,000 people attempting to go over, it\ndoes not require a great flight of imagination to see the utter blockade that\nwould be created by 50,000 people.\nOne who intends to go to Alaska may\nwell stop and consider what his chances\nart likely to be in such a mob, and\nwhether he would not do better to seek\nsome other route or some other objective point than the Klondike region.\nOf course, transportation facilities from\nI the coast ports tn Alaska have been\nI provided for Dyea and Skagway, but\ndoubtless us soon us this blockade ho\n\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD develops thut intending golel hunters\n1 eiemaiid to be taken somewhere else,\nI Steamers will leave the Dyea and Skagway routes and seek other ports, such\nas Oopper river and Cook's inlet. At\n: these pluces tliere is room for ull. No\n; narrow canyon trail confines the golel\n1 hunter to a particular route, but thero\n\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD is opportunity to spread ont over a\n1 wide expanse of country, now braottc-\n! ally unknown, but reported to be rich\nI iu gold. Theie ure said to be low\n! passes through the mountains from\n1 both Copper river und Cook's inlet,\n! lending over to the Xanana ami to the\nI bead waters of Birch creek, by which\n! thu now promising gold lie-Ids nn the\nj American side of tlie line may be more\neusily reached thun by the route across\nj the Chilkoot pass and down the lakes\nund rivers. The government is now\nfitting out au expedition for Coppei\nriver. Undoubtedly these routes will\nbe opened up the present season by\nprospectors even should not the great\nstream of travel be turned in that direction.\nThere aro already indications of a\ndesire on the part of gold hunters to\nabandon their idea of going to Dyea\nund Skugwny, uml to Htike. out for the\nOopper river and Cook's inlet. Beyond doubt this tendency will rapidly\nincrease as tho crowded condition of\nthe pusses becomes better known. At\npresent the only facilities for reaching\nCopper river and Cook's inlet is the\nUnited States mail boat operated by\nthe Pacific Coast Steam Whaling Company from Sun Francisco, the two\nsmall steamers now on the route from\nPortland to Copper river, und the small\nsteamer running from Port Townseud\nto Oopper river. These steamers are\nalready inadequate to meet the demand\nand doubtless more will soon be put\non the route.\nAttention has also been turned in the\ndirection of the route by Fort Wrangel\nnnd Stii'keen river. Telegraph ereek\nand Teslin lake, but us yet, facilities\nhave not been provided; Several\nsmall river Steamers are being constructed for the Stickeen river, to ply\nbetween Fori Wrangel und Telegraph\ncreek, whieh is the jioiiit of disembarkation for the overland journey of the\nlot) miles to Lake Teslin. On this\nstretch of 150 miles it is proposed by a\nCanadian company to construct u railroad the present year under n special\ngrunt from the Dominion parliament of\n20,000 acres ol land per mile, and\nthe time set for its completion is the\ntirst of September. It is thus seen\nthnt, for this season at least, only such\ntravel cim go over the BticJceen route\nns can be bundled by puck animals,\nand this, of e'ourse, cannot lie very extensive. Possibly several thousand\npeople will attempt this route, with\nthe probability that a lurgo portion of\nthem will make u failure of their\neffort. Should this railroad be built\nami 11 sufficient light draught steamer\nhe placed 011 Luke Teslin and liootn-\nlinquu river, iu another year the Stickeen route would be the favorite one.\nUuiloubtedly a grent many who intend to go to Alaska an- waiting to tuko\nthe ocean and river route during the\nsummer months. Ileie there* is ns\nmuch uncertainty as on the pusses.\nThe facilities have yet to be provided.\nPossibly as many us 50 small .teamers\nare under construction or have been\npurchased for use on the Yukon the\ncoming summer] but navigation of thut\nriver is expensive and dangerous.\nChannels nre narrow nnd tortuous and\nknown only to a few people. Fuel is\nvery difficult to procure, and it is understood thut the coin pun i oh ulready\noperating on the river have secured ull\nthat can be had for several hundred\nmiles from the mouth of this stream.\nThese companies will not take minors*\nuutHts, preferring to tnke in g\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDnln for\ntheir own stnreH uml sell them to\nmlntCS nfter they gel three. Consequently miners wishing to take outfits\nwill have to depend on independent\nboalN which promises to bo a very uncertain reliance. Certainly, one going\nby tint route should not undertake it\nunless the trunsportutiein coiupuny contracts with him to carry him clear\nthrough to his destination. This, however, is a matter about which more\nwill be known a few months later. Aa\nstated above, the natural outcome of\nthe present'condition of affairs would\nbe the opening up of new routes and\nnew objective points for the thousands\nwho will be disappointed in their expectation of getting over the passes,\nand of getting into the Yukon country\nby the present routes.\nAlaaka Mining Notes.\nAlmost every claim being worked in\nthe Klondike district is turning out\nfully as woll as was anticipated.\nHunker creek in pnrticular is making\nrich returns, while Eldorado, Bonanza,\nSulphur and Dominion creeks are\nholding their own.\nDawson City is reported quiet and\norderly, with little to break the winter\n\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDnd monotony. Tbe dancehonses and\ngambling places furnish the only excitement.\nThe opinion prevails in Dawson that\nthe regulation providing for the collection of royalties will fail of enforcement, the idea being based upon the\nfact that in the annual licenses issued\nto miners no mention is made of the\nroyalty regulation.\nTRAVELERS'GUIDE\nSummary of Railway-Steamer Tl ne\nCards from Kaslo.\nFOR WHITEWATER, SANDON,\nCody, etc., Kuslo A Slocan Railway trtilnn\nleave Kaslu dally at 8 a. m.; returning,\narrive' at Kaslo 3:50 p. in.\nFOR THREE FORKS, NEW DENVER.\nRosebery ann Nakusp, take K. * S.

McArthur is in Victoria asking and\ngetting everything be wants for Kossland, you can see\nwhat strengthens his pull with the Turner Governments\nJ. B. McArthur is president of tho Kaslo Liberal association. Of course he can promise Mr. Turner a supporter\nfrom the Trail district. TTc can also give him the support\nof the Kaslo organization, not in getting anything for\nKaslo, but in getting favors for his homo city. How did\nMr. McArthur become president of the Kaslo Liberal association'' Bus! spring there was a vacant seat in tho\nDominion senate. Mc. wanted it. D.C. McGregor wanted\nto oust Ci. O. Buchanan, the lawfully elected president of\nthe Kaslo Liberal association. So he went about with a\npetition telling the people that .1. B. MoArthur was going\nto leave Kossland aud make Kaslo his home, and that he\nwas juBt the man the Grits wanted. So D. (.'. McGregor\nand his \"I'l'.ie called a meeting at which, notwithstanding\nthat the, were out-voted, ihey forced J. B. MoArthur on\nthe Kaslo Liberals, and McGregor got himself elected, or\nrather forced, ai secretary. I have never heard that Mr.\nMcArthur ever attended or presided pver a meeting in\nKaslo and we know that he has not made Kaslo his home.\nTo let some of the Liberals of Kuslo see how this\nclique of so called Liberals, Tories and Yankees have run\nthings in the interests of the Liberal party, let us recall \"a\nlittle incident, A. year ago last fall Mr. Bostock came to\nKaslo to talk things (.ver with his constituents before\nleaving for Ottawa. The gang were bound that none but\nthemselves should have an interview with him. So Mr.\nKing of the Kootenaian mounted guard, and he saw to it\nthat no Liberal outside of thc gang got near. One of the\npioneer merchants of Kaslo, who wished to interview Mr.\nBostock, finding it impossible during the day, patiently\nwaited until after the public meeting tn the evoning and\nthinking that Archie's Pour Crown Scotch had got in its\nwork on the guard, he wont out to look for tho M. P. But\ntho guard was ou the look out. Ho had no sooner got his\nman on the street than out rushed one of tho guards nnd\ncalling him buck, with an oath, said. \"Von aint going to\ntake him away from us now.\" The merchant said: \"I\nonly want to speak to him for a few minutes.'' The guard\nreplied: \"Why not speak to him hero?\" The gentleman\nansweeed: ''The matter is private.'' \"Then,\" said the\nguard, \"hy G\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDd, that's nil right, we'll s;;e about it.\"\nAnd you bet your life they did see to it, at the first opportunity. The gang were there iu the interosts of tho Tory\noffice holders in Kootenay. That they fixed Mr. Bostock\nthero is no doubt. But thoro will be a day of reckoning\nfor the contemptible way in which Mr. Bostock has used\nlife long Liborals who worked late and early for his\nelection.\nIn handling the Duncan river appropriation the gang\nshow their Tory tactics. They sworo a mighty oath that\nno Tory or American could have a job or earn a dollar of\nthe money. Of the eighteen mon sent, part are Liberals\nonly one is a man of family and two are Americans with a\nsprinkling of Tories. This is well known to the gang.\nOld timers and Liberals wero set aside to make room for\ntenderfeet from Parkdale, Ontario, and Tory Carlton.\nTwo of the oldest settlers and heaviest taxpayers of that\nsection, Messrs.Keeling and Pearson, were refused employment without explanation of any sort. In furnishing the\nsupplies a Tory got tho lion's share, while Mr. James\nChlsholm, a life long Liberal, furnished tho suit, so that\nhe would have no kick coming.\nJohn McDon.\ld.\nNames of the Duncan Kiver Party.\nAt the request of several, thc News publishes the\nfollowing list of names of those who mado up the party of\nIS who wore chosen out of something liko 100 applicants to\nto accompany Foreman Matheson up the Duncan river to\nwork on tbe government improvements.

When the clerk handed blm tbe Bible he kept for the administration of oaths, he refused to take\nH. He explained that In his judgment\nthe cover ot that book, long in use tn\nthc court and huvlng been kissed by\nthousands of lips, was pregnant with\nthousands of microbes and thus might\nbe the means of conveying Infection.\nHe ssked permission to disinfect the\ncover ami then expressed his entire\nwillingness to take tbe oath in the usual manner.\nThe magistrate wns at first startled\nat this novel proposition, hut finally,\nseeing that the witness wns a sensible\nman of science, he anniented. Thereupon the physician took from bis satchel a small vial of phenlc acid, opened\nIt and poured some drops therefrom on\nthe dingy leather cover of tbe Bible.\nHe then spread the liquid over tbe entire cover by means of his handkerchief and, having rubbed It well in, be\ntook the required oath.\nThe Incident created widespread comment nnd the physician wns bombarded with letters aud queries ou the subject. He made a public statement In\nwhich be maintained that, the time*\nhonored custom of administering an\noath lu courts of law was contrary to\nthe elementary principles of hygiene,\nand that lt was. in fact, oue of the most\ndangerous practices of modern times.\n\"No one.\" he jnslsled. \"would consent\nto drink In a public house where only\noue glass ls used, and why. ihen.\nshould anyone consent to kiss a book\nwhich thousands have kissed before\nhlm?\"\nNaturally, many persons have followed Ills example. Aliuoest daily some\nwitness asks the Judge if he may disinfect the Bible before he puts his lips\nto It, and vials containing disinfectants are becoming quite a common\nsight in English courts. Some magistrates refuse to grant the desired permission, claiming that every article In\nthe court is clean and as it should be;\nothers, ou Ihe contrary, granl permission, though they grumble a little at\nwhat they consider a wilful waste of\ntime. Scientists approve Of Ihe physician's conduct, and the general public Is so worked up over the matter\ni imi a league is being formed with Ihe\nobject of purifying all the courl Bibles\nlu HSnglaud.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDChicago Chronicle.\nBUYS AN ANCIENT HOUSE.\nAn A eel Iqnarian Secures Ilie Oldest\nStructure in Aoicricii.\nThe oldest house lu America has re\neenily changed owners the fourth occupant since it was built.
