HIGGINS OPINION\nBe Says That Mr. Norris Wrongly Oon-\nttrnes the Law Relative to the\nVoters List- Interesting Letter.\nThe Visit of Mr. Higgins to Grand\nForks at this time is most opportune,\n(or by this visit he is enabled to perform a service for the people of this district that will be appreciated by our\ncitizens. It consists of straightening\nup the difficulty relative to the voters'\nlist which, according to the construction of Mr. Norris has been closed, thus\nshutting out from voting at the next\n.election, a large number of men who\nhave changed their place of residence\nlately. These, according to Mr. Hig\ngins, will be allowed to vote, providing\nthey conform to a certain legal provision which is set forth in the following\niletter, received today by the Miner\nfrom Mr. Higgins:\nGrand Forks, August 27, 1887.-[To the Editor of the Miner.]\u00E2\u0080\u0094Mr attention has been eall-\n\u00C2\u00A3d to thc following notice at the Recorder's\noffice in this city:\n\"Memorandum\u00E2\u0080\u0094The next court of revision\nwill be held on Monday tbe 2nd day of August\nnext. After revision the list will be closed and\nsuch closed list will be the voter's list for the\nensuing year. Application to have names\nrplaced on the voters' list must be sent in to the\ncollector sixty days before being entered on the\nlist. (See Chap. 88, B. U. Con. I\n' L.

The system of registration in force in\nthis province is continual. It is true that a\ncourt of revision is held in August of each year\nhut the lists are uover closed. Any duly .qualified person ipay scud to the collector of votes ln\nthe district (pwhlc|i ho .resides an application\nto have his name placed qn tbo voters' list and\nafter the name of such applicant shall have\nbeen posted for a.periofi of two months without\n,an objection having been Bled the collector is\nrequired to inset t the name on the voters' list.\n(See Chap. 88, B. C. Con.) There is no such,\nthing as a \"cloeed\" list under our syatcn*.. If\nMr. Norrls' construction were to prevail no\namines could be added after June 2 of each\nyear and thousands of qualified voters would be\ndisqualified at the next election.\nII collectors in other districts have misread\nthe law Bimllarly there will be no eud to the\n,1'imfusion, disappointment and illegality next\nyear.\nImmediate steps should be taken to properly\ninstruct Mr. Norris aud all other collectors who\njpiay labor under (he saine misapprehension.\nJ**,' W- Uiguins.\nPIT BY A RATTLER.\nPain-\n;D*.\nSATURDAY, AUGUST 28, 1897,\nTUB G.{EU,NVVOODGRl*EN-EYE.\nTho French have an adajje which\ntranslated means \"Evil to him who\nevil thinks.\"\n'J he Boundary (.'reek Times of (lieen*\nwood, in Its latest issuo, gives vent to\nthe following:\nA FAKE INTERVIEW.\n\"Tho Qrand Forks Miner has a penchant for\ninterviewing ovory pe:sou that visits the city.\nNo one escapes the Indefatigable reporter of the\nMiner. Tho unsophisticated visitor may thiol;\nhe does because he h..s neither seen nor heard\nof a newspaper man but if he re,tils the next\nweek's issue of the Miner he will Und that the\nubiquitous reporter has secured him us a victim. The habit of writing nu interview out of thu\npetsou Interviewed is generally a harmless one\nfor It helps to fill up and the Miner lins plenty\nof space, it was scarcely fair, however, to\nmake a victim of School Inspector Burns, in\nthe latest iHsuc of the Miner lhat gentleman ex-\npressed very decided opinions on the futuro of\nGrand Porks, the railway situation aud the\npolitical outlook. Now we know Mr. Burns\npersonally, and aro therefore safe in stating\nthat he uever gavo utterance to the opinions\npublished iu the Miner. He is a public servant,\nminds his own business, and has sense enough\nto keep liis uiotlLli Bhut whon political questions ure beint,r discussed, 'l'he Miner should\nnol thoughtlessly place an employee of the government in uu embarrassing position, 'lie1\nHon.

Some of its attempts\nhave boon amusing in their childishness and of this class the one repto-\nduced above is tbe most ridiculous.\nTho head of tho two-bit offshoot of\nthe Victoria Colonist, who now poses\nus the editor of tho Uroen-eye, is duly\nswelled because ite owner is personally\nacquainted with School Inspector\nBums. Judging from ita talk, the editor is ono of theso things that :f it\ncould but touch the coat tail of the\nPrinco of Wales would bo ready then to\ndie.\nBut regarding Mr. Burns. \"It is safe\nto state'' that that gentleman' will not,\nif ho takes tho trouble to read the effusion of the Green-eye, feel particularly\nelated ovor tho uciiuainteuceship0which\ntho Green-eye's editor takes, so much\ntrouble to impress upon the public.\n\"Wo feel safe in stating\" that Mr.\nBurns never camo near the Green-eye's\nolliee and this is another causo tor jeal -\nousy. If \"it\" could have Boon Mr.\nBurns muking several visits daily to the\nMiner otlico during his stay in Grand\nForks, it would probably have not survived the shock.\nFor the benefit of thoso who wish to\nknow how tho interview with Mr,\nBurns was obtained, wo will stato that\nhe favored us with a taik for publication during one of his visits to the\nMINER office, Tho attempted insult to\nMr. Burns implied in the statement\nthat ho \"has Beoso enough to keop his\nmouth shut whou political questions\naro being discussed\" is too childish to\nneed to be refuted.

There is no question that with\nj but a little exertion on lho part of\nthese in tho district, a display of our\nores could bo placed on exhibition at\nthe fair, that would compare favorably,\nif not excel! that from anyother district, represented, Tho benelit to bo derived from such a display is incalculable and can only be fully realized by\nthose of our citizens who wore iu attendance at the fair la6t yoar. Mr. John\nA.

G. B. Martin, chief commissioner\nol lands and works made tho statement\nthat Premier Tumor and every member of his cabinet wero heartily in favor\nof extending all 'the assistance within\ntheir powor toward tho construction of\na railway from the Columbia river to\nPentieton. If this assertion is true, we\naro of tho opinion, that thero could be\nno moro effective way of proving that\nthey aro acting in good faith in promising, than for Mr. Turner to call a\nspecial session of tho provincial legislature at once, to undo the work of the\nlast session as far as it related to railways and extend to Mr. Heinze or some\nother company sulliciont encouragement\nto otiablo him to commence work on\ntho construction of a road at onco. A\nmovo of this character would do more\nto stimulate all classes of business and\nWould restore that coufl lence necots iry\nfor the development of any mining district. At present it is acknowledged by\nnearly everybody who visits tho district\nand by Mr. Martin himself that we\nhuve one of tlio best mineral showings,\nthe biggest ledges and largest deposits\nof any district in British Columbia,\nbut which are practicaly worthless, except for speculative purposes, without\ntransportation facilities. Wo fail to seo\ntlie object in deferring action in tho\nmatter any longor.\nHon. G. B. Martin, chief commissioner of lands and works, who in company with Mr. Leonard Norris, government Bgont at Voruon, has boor, making\na tour of inspection of tho district, does\nnot exhibit any uneasiness regarding\nhis futuro political aspirations. He is\nfroe to acknowledge that whilo ho may\nhave to put forward a united elfott at\ntho election, noxt year ho Booms eonll-\ndent that tho result will bo tho same\nthat it has boon for tho last 16 yoars.\nAt this timo the Minku is not ablo to\njudge accurately whethor or not Mr.\nMartin's belief is well founded. 'Ihere\nis one thing certain, however, and that\nis if some of the alloged noA/spapore\ncontinue their personal attacks on tho\nchief commissioner, tho result will bo\nto work up a sympathy for that gontlo-\nman that could Dot be accomplished in\nany othor way, At this time wo have\nno desire to enter into a discussion of\nthe policy of tho government of which\nMr. Martin is a member, but wo believe\nin giving credit where credit is due,\nand during his visit to Grand Forks, he\nused every elfort possible in securing\ninformation regarding the needs of tho\ndistrict, and while he was careful in\nmaking promises, he certainly showod\nno disposition to slight the claims of\nour people. Mr Martin, when questioned concerning tbe reported discussion among the members of the cabinet,\nemphatically denied the rumors, saying\ntbat Premier Turner and his collogues\nwere at present, on the beBt of terms\nand that no reconstruction of the cabinet was contemplated.\nIn tiie report of tho meeting held to\nconfer vi ith Hon. G. B. Martin, chief\ncommissioner of lands and works, Friday evening of laBt week, the typo\nmado us quote Mr, E. M. Johnson, of\nVictoria, as saying that \"during tho\nInst session of tho legislature Mr.\nHeinzo had asked for a subsidy of\n$4,000 a mile, bosides his already large\nland grant, which roquo3t, owing to tn e\nopposition had boen defeated, porBon-\nally he thought tho land grant Bhould\nhave boen defoatod, oto.\" It should\nhavo read that personally ho thought\nif the land granted Mr, Heinzo had\nall boon agricultural land tho grant\nshould havo boen defeated, but as there\nwas comparative little tillable land included in tho grant, he was in favor of\ngiving Mr. 11. both the land grant and\ncasn bonus askod for, etc.\nThe encouraging nows published in\ntho SpokesmaD-Iteview last Monday to\nthe effect that Mr. Heinze contemplated building his projected lino from the\nColumbia river to Pentieton and that\nwork on it would be commenced at\nonco, will be road with pleaauro by\nthoso who huve stayod with their faith\nin the futuro of this section. With tho\nlirBt shovel-full of dirt thrown on the\nconstruction of a road into this district, an ora of prosperity will bo inaugurated that will bo wonderful to behold.\nAccording to Beorbohm, the noted\nEnglish grain statistician, Europe will\ncall upon the United States for\n$1S5,000,000 buBhels of wheat this year.\nThis demand is unprecedented. The\nhighost mark in the United States export of wheat was reached in 1891-2,\nwhen it amounted to 157,280,351 bushels. This unusual demand on the\nUnited States for wheat is almost sure\nto bring that tide of prosperity that our\ncousins over the line have boen looking\nfor so long.\nThe city of Vernon at an election\nheld Monday August 16th voted to borrow 875,000 with which to establish a\nsystem of water works, electric light\nplant and erect a city hall. Out of a\ntotal vote cast of 101, only nine were in\nopposition to the water works and city\nhall schomos and 12 against the electric\nlight project, which goes to Bhow that\nthe citizens of that city realize that in\norder to keep abreast with the advancement of the country a progressive policy\nmust be adopted,\nThe now railroad from tho coast to\nKootenay points shows that the ('.

The fact is, Northport is such a good\nsmelter point that I heartily wish it were this\nside of tlie line.

There tiie blade, defied by the stumpy beard, lunged and\nplunged and the uprooting sensation\nwas continuous and fearful.\nHut he was game, and ten minutes\nafter his train had left he rii6hcd from\nthe house, pretending to be in too hi;.'\na hurry to catch thi next train to stop\nto kiss his wife.\nThe next day Mr. Williams tried it\nagain.\nHe made another effort the following\nday.\nOn the fourth day Mr. William:*\nsneaked into his former shop in Chic*;\ngo, and, approaching his favorite barber, said: \"Ed, I have been shavinj\nhere so long I thought I'd bring mj\nmug in.

He is 60 years of age and has\nspent half his life nnd nearly hia entire\nfortune in working out hia theory.\nThe savant made his discovery by\nbringing the strongest magnifying\nglasses to llear upon crystals. lie\nwatched their development. He photographed the results. He has thousands\nof these views taken from 14 different\nkinds of crystals.\nThe views show the crystal in its\nbirth, thc head shoving forth from the\nmother crystal and the course is followed as it pushed out and away. Then\nin the language of enthusiasm Dr. Von\nHoist said:\n\"The crystal meets another \u00E2\u0080\u0094 one\nfroiu a different mother. The two\nstrike at each other, they fight, strive\nand clash with coch other. It is war\nto the death. It is a cane of the. survival of the, fittest. One must die! No\ntwo crystals from the snme mother ever\nfight, however, no matter where they\nmeet.\"\nAll this, the life, the development and\nthc contention, is set forth in the views,\nso all can. be convinced who see them.\n\"I am a historian, not a scientist,\"\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2aid Dr. Von nolst, \"so I saw all this,\nbut as a lnymnn.

Marpolo of Vancouvor, general superintendent of the Pacilic coast\ndivision; Qeorge McL* Brown; Colonel\nBaker, M. p., arrived in Trail last Tuesday and am.* ng other things said in an\ninterview, tin t pooplo would soon bo\nconvinced that the C. P. R. appreciated\ntho importance of the Boundary conn-\ntry.\nThero is more in this little statoment\nthan appears on tho surfaco, It means\nthat Grand Forks wili have a railroad\nand that too without futhor delay. It\nconfirms tho news (contained in a dispatch from Trail last Monday morning\nto the effect that the railroad to Pentieton will bo built, and built immediately.\n\"Engineors are being sont into tho\nfield at several points botween hero and\ntho tertpinue, and in a few days lleinze's\npiost trusled engineer will be in Victoria searching records and securing\nright of way. How much tho C. P, R.\njs interested is another puzzle, bul tha\npublic will never bo surprised to learn\nthat the noojpany has tak-jn over the\nentire line. 'Thoy, too, havo engineors\nin tho field to run a lino wheroby they\ncan tap the Trail-Robson road at China\ncroek or Sullivan creek, and roach Rose-\nland. It is well known tnat C. P. R.\nhas offered to purchase the Heinze\nrailroad interests, and that Heinze is\nwilling to sell, but bis prico ie stiff.\nHowever the ins and outs of tho whole\nmatter may result, there promises to lie\nsome interesting developments during\ntho next few weeks.\"\nTbe developments came sooner than\nthe Trail correspondent expected, in the\nconfirmation of tho boliot by many that\nwhether the road were built undor tho\nname of Heinzo or tho U. P. R. it woul-l\nbe C. P. R. money that would pay for\nits construction. The news that it is to\n1)0 built at all will bo welcome to Kettle River and Boundary residents,\nwhose only hopo is tbat tbe present reports may not prove to bo of so delusive a character as thoso circulated a\nphort time ago on the same subject.\nTWO RARE 1Y1ETALS.\nLkad Carbon&tk and Nickel Found\non St. Peter's Creek.\nQuite an excitemont has been created\non St. Peters creek by tho recent discovery by Chap. RubsjoII and Geo.Washburn of a quartz load which as near as\ncan be estimated is at least 150 feet\nwide, anil from which encouraging assays have been obtained. A pickod\nsample assayed $l,r*0 and from an average across the ledgo an assay of Sl.b'O\nwas returned. 'J hose, for surface assays, are all that could be expected, and\nconsidering the immense size of the\nlead, the proposition bids fair to bo a\nbig thing for Ue owners. The ore is\npractically free milling. An extension\npf tho same leal was afterward staked by\nChas. RusBell and Dave Snyder. Sinco\nthis discovery a number of prospectors\nhavo been making a thorough examination of this locality and quite a number\nof now locations havo boen made.\nThe leading property of St. Peters\ncroek at present is the Anchor group,\nwhich has been ctockod by Eastern\nparties. The group consists of eloven\nclaims ovoryjono of which shows a good\nprospect in mineral, and upon nearly\novery one of which moro or less work\nbas been dono. On one of the claims a\neurface assay of $:(.'! was obtainod, the\nvalue running in gold, silver, copper\nand nickel. A tunnol has boen run in\npn tho lodge DO foot, and tho ore now\nassays \u00C2\u00A787. Tho finding of nickel here\nin paying quantities but broadens tho\npossibilities of the reservation us a mineral country.\nSt. Peters croek has also produced an\nore which is reported from no other\npoint on tho reservation, and tho discovery of which will bo welcome r.ews\nto smelter rnon. Tho new discovory is\na ledge of lead-carbonate seven foet in\nwidth in a woll defined vein and between walls of porphyry and linje. An\nassay of the oro from the surface shows\nthat it carries 30 ounces of silver, 34 in\ngold, and a large percent lead, The\nvalue of this find can bo appreciated\nwhon it is understood that ore of this\ncharacter is so valuable to sraelterB for\nfluxing purposes that as a goneral rule\nthey not only treat tho ore free, returning to the snipper tbe values obtained\nfrom it, but in somo cases they pay all\ncosts of transportation from tbe mine\nto the smelter.\nMessrs. Russell and Washburn, with\nM. J. Cochran, also staked a claim\nshowing tbe same character of oro as\nthat found in the Anchor group.\nTheir ledge is paid to be 18 feet in\nwidth.\nThe owners of the Anchor group\nhave qonetructe.I seven miles of road\nFrom Indian Eneas' ranoh to their property, and have flnishod it second to no\nroad on the reservation, Eneas' ranch\nis several mile/3 north from the point\nwhere St. Peters creek empties into tho\nCurlew, but distance ie paved by going\nacross country from his ranch to the\nbead of the croek.\nOne of the leading claims of this locality is the Mnldoon, about four miles\nthe moijt^ of St. Peters creek,\nMINING RECORDS.\nRei'ord of the locations, curli'loutes o( work\ntransfers, etc.,recorded ut the Mining Recorder's\nOffice, Gram] Korks, B.

They were der\nlayed in (irand Forks nearly half a day on\nTuesday through the breaking of both rear\nwheels of the wagon on whioh the boiler was\nbeing carried. The wagon stood thn roughest part of the trip in good skiijie, and then\ncollapsed on the comparatively level ground\njust outside the town of Grand Forks. New\nwheels were procured and a. freelj start made\nTuesday evening. Tho boiler is a 25 horse\npower concern weighing 8,000 pounds. The\nbalance of the mill muuliinery is hauled with\ntwo six-horse teams and four wagons.\nThe maohiuery is being brought in under\ntho supervision of Pat Walsh who will have\nchargo of erecting and operating the sawmill. When it is in operation tbe first work\nwill be to cut lumber for a flume along Granite ereek to tho site for the mill for working\nthe Republic oro. The flume will be 8,000\nfeet in length and by the time it is built arrangements for thc mill will have been completed and the machinery will undoubtedly\nbe on the ground. The grading for the\nHume has all been done.\nThe sawmill will probably not settle the\ndifficulty in the camp relative to procuring\nlumber, us under the mineral law the Republic company will not be allowed to cut lumber\nfor sale, but only such as ie necessary in developing their properties. It is hold by\nprominent men of tbe camp, however, thut\nparties wishing to havo lumber cut will bo\npermitted to haul logs from their own property and have them sawed into lumber.\nAccording to an interview In Spnknrie with\nChas. llobbins, who has beon directing work\non the Republic mine, the order for the mill\nhns probably by this time been placed,\nl'uteey Clark, one of the owners of the Republic, has been making quite a tour\nstudying the various milling processes and\nendeavoring to ascertain which would be\nbest adapted to working the Eureka ore.\nHe was in Butte last week and was to be\njoined there this week by B. 0. Kingsbury,\nthe two then going to Marysville, Mont, to\ninspect tho cyanide process used in\nworking over the tailings of the Drumlum-\nmnnd. Samples of the Republic ore havo\nbeen Bent there for a mill test and Sir. Rob-\nbins is of the opinion that the cyanide\nprocess in the best for the Republio ore.\nRegarding the development of the mine Mr.\nRobbins snid:\nWhat wo call our north or No. 1 shaft is in\n140 feet on the incline. About 2!50 feet north\nof that is shaft No. 2, which is in 40 (eot. A\ntannel 230 feet in length connects with No. 1\nshaft, und we are drifiing from this north\nand south op the lead about 50 feet in each\ndirection. Last Monday wo started another\ntunnel on the east side of the hill which will\ngive a depth of 275 feet on the incline and\nwhich wus iu about 80 feet when I left. This\nis to bo our main working tannel and after It\nis completed we will have to eink.\"\u00E2\u0080\u0094Peser-\nvatiim Record.\t\nAnother Quartz Strike.\nD. M. Snyder and Chas.

Mr. Snyder,\nwho was one of tbe first locators in Sheridan camp on ' Toroda creek und who hue\ndone extensive prospecting, says he would\nas soon take chances on developing this\nlead as any on Toroda creek. It is strange\nthat the ground had not before bren located\nns the lead is exposed in places for 500 feet\nand is adjacent to the road just a short\ndistance south oi the Curlew store.\u00E2\u0080\u0094Reservation Record\nFiremen's Ball.\nThe Firemen's ball last night was \u00C2\u00BB very\npleasant social afifair though financially it was\nnot all tbat was expected.
