A\nfew families joined together and formed\na tribe and for many hundreds of years\nattatchment to the tribe was the most\nmarked characteristic of the human\nrace. The tribal instinct exists to the\npresent day. The individual loves his\nown tribe and hates all other tribes.\nHe believes his own tribe to be the best,\nbiggest and bravest in existence, considers every other tribe to be inferior,\nand takes delight in denouncing them,\nmaking war upon them and slaying\nthem. The word 'tribe' has gone out\nof use, and the word nation substituted\nin its place. But what is now called\n\"patriotism\" is after all nothing more\nthan pure, undiluted tribalism, and it is\nis patriotism joined to religion, which\nis the cause of every war with its barbarism, cruelty, and murder. C in\nanybody point to a war which was not\ncaused by patriotism and religion ?\nThe latest illustration is furnished in\nthe Phillipine Islands. Inherited tribalism led the American people to the\ndesire that their own tribe should be\nthe biggest and most powerful, and thev\nset lo work to thrash, beat and overpower, a much smaller tribe in the\nPhillipine Islands. The American tribe\npartially succeeded, but only partially\nand then religion came into action and\npromises in co-operation with patriotism to produce very bad results. In\nthe Phillipines in one locality, there are\nabout a million of people who believe\nnot in Christianity, but in Mahometan-\nism, and the Mahometans are now preparing to fight 'lie Christians to the\ndeath.

The maudlin, silly sentimentality which has prompted Canadians to remain colonials has cost\nCanada dearly in self respect and self\nreliance. The spectacle of this great\nDominion of ours, with room between\nits borders for twenty countries like\nGreat Britain, mimicing in politics,\nreligion and sociai life this little, old,\nplayed-out monarchy on the other\nside of the world is, to say the least of\nit, painful. Canadians lack the backbone and stamina to be Canadians first\nand Britishers afterward, but are\nBritishers in a colonial sense first, last\nand all the time. We are literally\ndangling at our mother's apron strings.\nOur theory of dependence has stamped\nits impress indelibly on our national\nlife and national character. It has\nbeen inculcated in the rising generation at the sacrifice of our dignity\nand national spirit. It has taught us\nto idolize a king who is a stranger to\nus, to revere a government which is\nforeign to us, and to worship an artificial aristocracy which is an exact\nantithesis of all that is good and true\nand brave and free and democratic in\nCanadian traditions.\nIf the influx of Americans will do\nanything to remove this feeling of\nvassalage and can infuse a new,\nstrong, manly feeling of self-reliance\nwhich will make for Canada an independent national sentiment to take the\nplace of our second-hand British\nloyalty, then the Americans are just the\npeople we want; and we want hosts of\nthem. We have room for all the\nAmericans who care to drive their\nprairie schooners across the Montana\nline. May they come in hordes and\nconvert the great lone land of the\nCanadian west into an empire of smiling farms and fruitful homesteads,\nwhose every owner is a king in his\nown right, owing allegiance to none\nbut himself and the land of his adopu\nCrown granted mineral claims are\ntaxed 25 cents an acre. If the same\ntax were applied indiscriminately to all\nother land alienated from the Crown in\nB. C. the government would have a\nrevenue of over $4,500,000 annually\nfrom this source alone. Dunsmuir,\nwho says the government cannot make\nbricks without straw (it is noticable\nthat he is making gold bricks) would\npay $500,000 a year on his 2,000,000\nacres of Vancouver Island land, and\nthe C. P. R. would pay $750,000 on\nthe 3,000,000 acres it holds in East\nKootenay. In the Okanagan there\nare thousands upon thousands of acres\nofthe finest agricultural land in the\nworld held by speculators and assessed\nat$i an acre. Charge these men 25\ncents an acre and see what would\nhappen !\nOur present system of taxation\nwhich permits these corporations and\nspeculators to escape taxation while\nthey refuse to develop the resources\nwithin their control is, to say the least\nof it, vicious and idiotic ; and the\nsystem which cinches mineral land for\n25 cents an acre and then cinches the\nmining industry for a two per cent tax\nis suicidal. It can be justified on no\ngrounds except that the government\nneeds the money. As the land-grabbing corporations have so debauched\nthe legislature that they have been\ngranted exemption from taxation, the\ntaxes must be extorted from the honest\ncapital which is endeavoring to create\nhonest industry by developing the mining resources of the province.\nJohnny Mitchell has a strike on\nhis hands which will probably bust his\nunion and throw the coal miners of\nPennsylvania into a worse position\nthey were before. One hundred and\nforty-five thousand men have laid\ndown their tools to wait for the mine\nowners to pay them a living wage.\nBy depriving and starving themselves\nthey hope to bring to terms the multimillionaires who could live in luxury if\nthe coal mines never turned a wheel.\nIn their search for better conditions the\nminers have taken the wrong trail.\nThey hold within themselves the\npower to capture the legislative machinery of the state of Peensvlvania, and\nw w *\nby so doing they could accomplish\nmore in one year than by a century of\nboycotts and strikes. To Mitchell's\neverlasting credit be it said that he\nrecognizes this monumental truth and\nused every effort within his power to\navert the strike.\nThe more you look at that Canada Northern swindle the uglier it\ngets. The bill proposes to place a\nreserve on all land for 20 miles on each\nside ofthe proposed right of way until\nMacKenzie & Mann pick out what\nthey want. In Montreal the other\nday Dan Mann said that the road\nwould not be completed for seven\nyears. Then taking Dunsmuir and\nDan at their word, we would have a\nstrip of country 40 miles wide and 560\nmiles long reserved from trespass for\nseven years. Anyone caught prospecting within the lines would be\nbranded a criminal and his claims declared forfeit. The bargain which\ncontemplates this horriable travesty is\nheralded by the Dunsmuir gang as a\ntriumph of statesmanship. If ever\nthere was a band of miscreants richly\ndeserving a literal application of lariat\nlaw it is this outfit styling itself the\nBritish Columbia government. Com-\nThe man who can discover a process for separating zinc from lead without losing either can make himself\nricher than Rockefeller and can make\nthe Slocan more prosperous than Virginia City in its palmiest Jays. This\ncamp has more zinc than lead, but the\nzinc is all wasted to save the lead and\nsilver. There are hundreds o\ thousands of tons of zinc ore thrown over\nthe dump or lying untouched in the\nstopes, which will not pay freight and\ntreatment because the ore carries too\nmuch lead. A zinc smelter in Kaslo\nmight relieve the situation, but zinc\nsmelting is a very difficult, expensive\nand complicated process in which capital would not readily embark.\nThe Sandon city council has the\ncity's enemies groggy and grabbing\nfor the ropes. In ninety days they\nwill be down and out and the city will\nhave the money. Landlordism has\ncost this city its prosperity, but no\nlandlord can further escape paying his\nfair share of the taxes. As the immortal Abe once remarked, you can\nfool some of the people all the time\nand all of the people some of the time,\nbut you cannot fool all of the people\nall the time.

C, map 24\nmill the trust Enter the\nSlocan market Bgain ?\nThere is a feeling among mine\nowners here,backed by what is purported to be reliable information, that the\nAmerican Smelting & Refining Co. is\ngoing to reenter the Hritish Columbia\nmarket in the near future. It is pointed\nnut by those who claim to be in the\nknow that the trust is spending a large\namount of money on the East Helena\nsmelter, and that the Great Falls plant\nis being overhauled. Also the Great\nNorthern is standardizing the Great\nFalls & Canada road to the Alberta-\ncoal fields and the Crow's Nest Southern will be completed by the middle of\nnext month, definately settling the fuel\nquestion for the Montana smelters.\nBesides this, it is well known that the\nenormous surplus of lead which the\nlead trust had on its hands on January\nist 1901 has been reduced to normal\nproportions and the demand for lead in\n''. S. is looking up a little, in consequence of which the lead trust will undoubtedly be able to contract with the\nsmelter trust for a larger ouiput. A\ncouple of local managers have intimated\nthat they have had assurances which\nlead them that to believe that the\nsmeller trust will again be in the Slocan\nmarket in the very near future.\nShould these predictions prove to be\ntrue it will mean a sudden return of\nprosperity lo the Slocan camp and the\nsilver-lead sections of East Kootenay,\nas the trust will undoubtedly put the\nprice back to the old settlement,basis of\nNew York quotations less duty and\nmoisture. This would net the mine\nowner about $2.40 for lead, which\nwould permit every property in the\ncamp to operate. The Slocan was\nnever in a better condition to make a\nlarge output and $2.40 for lead would\nmake it the most active and prosperous\ncamp on the North American continent.\nIt is a conservative estim ite that the\npayroll for mines tributary to Sandon\nwould immediately jump to 1,200 men\nand for the remaining six months the\noutput would touch 30,000 tons, making the year's production for the district over 40,000 tons.\nwhich handle a feed from the inch and\nthe three-quarter screens. Everything\nthat cart be separated on the coarse\njitfs is handled in that way, and the\nwork of the fine jigs and vanners is\nconsequently light. As there is very\nlittle slime and practically no carbonates in the feed, the vanners are working mostly on a zinc product which will\nhe stored and shipped when a couple of\nhundred tons have accumulated. The\nzinc is separated so close that it carries\nonly 5 ounces silver and a small per\ncentage of lead, making it a merchantable product. The lead product carries\n130 ounces silver and 70 per cent lead\nwith the zinc below the penalty margin.\nThe management is delighted with\nthe working of the mill and feel satisfied that the profit from the operation of\nthe plant will be a handsome one.\nthe papne mill.\nHANDLING A LARGE TONNAGE\nAND WORKING SATISFACTORILY.\nWlhai: Me are Boing to (Bet\nMonep this Month.\nThe Payne mill is now running\nsteadily with a double shift and handling 135 tons of rock a day.

There are two crushers, a\ndouble set of rolls, five trummel screens\ngraduated from one inch to two millimeter mesh, two Hartz jigs and four\nFrue vanners.
