"The Miner was published in Nelson, in the Central Kootenay region of southeastern British Columbia. The Miner was established by John Houston, an outspoken journalist who would later embark on a successful political career, which included four terms as the mayor of Nelson and two terms in the provincial legislature. After leaving the Miner in the summer of 1892, Houston established the Tribune to compete with his former paper. The Miner was published by The Miner Printing and Publishing Company, and the paper's longest-serving editor was D. J. Beaton. The Miner was published under two variant titles, the Nelson Weekly Miner and the Weekly Miner. In 1902, the paper was sold to F. J. Deane, who changed the title to the Weekly News."@en . ""@en .

The communication' was filed without discussiou, but just before the board adjourned thc matter-came up again and the new appointees aud the power that appointed thein were handled without gloves. Mayor Houston stated the act provided that the police and licensing board should hold four open meetings each year at which time salom liceuses were to be issued. Tbe next slated meeting is to take place on September 15 and any liquor liceuses issued before that time would be illegal. The board had power to sit and issue o.her licenses such as booths for fairs, ole, bat liquor licenses could only issue at open meetings. He said that if the city council would support him in the matter he would go ahead and issue licenses to the saloons and iguore the board. It would result in a law suit as a test case.

A EICH DISCOVERY. The Granite Claim Proved to lie .IIiU'li Eticlicr Than Was Supposed. A second strike has been made on the Grauite claim on Eagle creek which promises to be more important tban the original find. Ou Wednesday while the owners, Messrs. Swedberg and Johnson, we're ground sluicing they uncovered the ledge at a distance of lOi feet from the * first find. The ore is much richer and there appears to be four solid feet of de- 'composed quartz that is alive with free gold. The lead was found at the bottom of a dump from a tunnel that was being run to crosscut the ledge. This flannel, however, was above the ledge and failed in its purpose. This last discovery goes to show that the ledge is continuous through the White aud Grauite claims. The latter is an extension of tho White, one of the famous Poorman group. Ou the White claim a shaft is down a considerable distance und is still iu the decomposed rock. = The ore shoot is an immense one and is regarded as the greatest gold find in the Nelson district. A. Jensen of this city has a sixty day option for 830,000 ou the Granite and will go east at once to make sure that the money for the payment will be forthcoming on the day specified iu the agreement.

McCulloch Appointed Engineer to Superintend the Construction or Until Systems. At the meeting of tbe couucil last Wednesday, night the absentees were Aleermen Teetzel and Dow. The plans for the water and sewer systems were taken up and those submitted by Mr. McCulloch were approved with but slight alteration. The following report was adopted. THE WAXES WOUKS. The committee on public works begs to report as follows on the water works and sewerage system of the city: After examining the plans already received, and going over the grounds, your committee was unanimously in favor of placibg the reservoir on blocks 23 and 33 on lot 182, group 1. As there is a natural site at this point it will greatly reduce the cost of construction, provided that, on the proper tests being made, lhe ground is suitable for a foundation. This sife is situated oue block to the south, and about 40 feet higher lhau sites shown on plans. We would recommend that this site be tested and surveys made for the location of a 1.000,000 gallon reservoir at this point. Oa examining the plans .we lii.d that Mr. Mc- Culloch's plan very neatly covers the ground and provides for the supplying of the area withiu the present means of the city. We think his system can be followed, adopting his (Mr. McCulIoch's) sizes of pipes, with the addition of two pressure valves\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDoue 8 iuch and on a 6 inch\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDand one relief valve, together with the reservoir 'leferred to, at a cost not exceeding $26,000, aud providing a most efficient service at an estimated' cost of $26,000. e \" , SEWERAGE. The quest'oa of sewerage depends on theamouut of money at the di3posalof the council. After examining the various plans and takiug into conbideration theamount of mouey at the city's disposal we would recommend the laying of.'lhe -24-iueh brick sewer, along Ward street from Silica street to the water ftout and'lhe laying of 2,850 feet of 8 inch pipe connecting therewith at an estimated cost of $12 000. -Q The cost of both water and sewerage systems suggested, we think would more than cover tlie work, but iu laying both systems therein be curtailed to suit the money at tbe disposal of the council. .Fj_ank Fletciiek* Chairman Board of Works. \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD The question of selecting an engineer to supervise the construction of the two systems came. up next and a ballot gave AIL.

Also to build a box drain.for storm water. Iu regard to the preseut' wa.er supply, Mayor Houston stated that more water was being used now thau, at auy previous time and .unless immediato steps were taken, the supply, would soon bo exhausted.

Bid it suppose that, from a general standpoint, a railway should be constructed by the C. P. li. from the Columbia river to Eossland before the Nelsou & Lethbridge system is completed? The Eossland Miner should know that in railway construction it is customary to build maiu lioes before branches and spurs. . The principal benefit to be derived by Kooteuay from the construction of the Nelsou & Lethbridge railway is the East Kootenay coal supply which, by au arrangement recently made between the' Dominion government and the C. P. B., will be landed at the Columbia river foi- nofc more than 84 per ton. The problem of economical smelting in Kootenny will then be solved. Until this -is done, . we must rely ou other sources for fuel, viz., the Vancouver Island aud western AVashiugton. colleries. The Rossland Miner, ever ready to strike a blow at Canadian institutions outside of Eossland, and anti-Canadian aud anti-British in all its sympathies, is endeavoring to\" gracefully, back down to the desires of the alien share holders of the Le Roi company, which means smelting Kootenay ores in the United States. The Nelson and Lethbridge railway, when completed, will supply fuel a3 cheaply as is needed. Therefore, upon its completion, tliere will be no need to export ore. The Le Roi company desires to build a smelter at Northport, south of the international boundary, without delay. The quest-on; .-now, is, would American railways and American colleries supply fuel at Northport cheaper tban Canadian {railways aud Cauadiau .collerie3_would_supply-=-it._a__Coli-mbia- river points? The Americans cannot compete in this respect. This is best instanced by the \"fact that the Trail smelter and the Hall Mines,\" the only smelters at present iu operation iu Kootenay, are obtaining their coke from the Union colleries,' Varicouverlsland. And the fact must also be remembered that there is\" no import duty on coke. - -* Western Washington ..colleries have repeatedly tried to do- busioes3jn this district, but as they were uuder-snhl, they were compelled to retire. Iu order to shed more light upon this matter, the Miner has obtained from Mr. F. W. Peters,'the district .freight agent of the C. P. It., a statement which shows what really wassaid in au interview between Vice-president Shaughnessy and Mr. Turner. Fortuuntely Mr. Peters .is in a position to know what nc- tually did transpire. He said: ''From the reports published in the Rossland pres.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD,-it is evident that there has been an erroneous interpretation of the iuterview between our vice-president and Senator Turner of the Le Eoi mine. On making an'inquiry I am advised by Mr. Shaughnessy that what he said to Mr.Turner was that pur company would not be able to deliver coal or coke from the Crow'sNest mines until theyearafteruext. Senator Turner, was informed -that, in the event of the Le Roi smelter being located at Robson, coke would%o sun- plied from Nanaimo by the C.P.R, at a very reasonable figure. It was also explained lo him that tbe C. P. R. bad no means of controlling the Columbia & Western railway unless the former built a parallel line to Rossland. - This they naturaliy did not desire to do unless it became actually necessary. It has been stated by Mr. Heinze that the freight rate demanded by the Le Itoi company is unreasonably low. At present our management have that subject under discussion with Mr. Heinze aod h\"pe to make au arrangement about the rate which will remove the necessity for constructing onr own line immediately. Our management has decided that the Rossland camp shall be in a position to have j its smelling done in British Columbia j cheaper than in any other place in the world, and while this cannot be accomplished in a day, qur company is moving steadily with that end in view.\" Kootenay ores cun be smelted within the district to the benefit1' rather than detcriment of the local mining industry.

The plans for the waterworks sys; tern accepted by the city council appear to be satisfactory in every respect and are the best that could be adopted under the circumstances. The million gallon reservoir that is to be located at the southeastern corner of the city will be ample supply for a long time to come. The engineer has based his calculations upon a community of 12,000 or 15,000 people, and although Troutwine, the well known authority on hydraulic matters, says that (50 gallons, or 8 cubic feet, per day to each inhabitant, is usually considered a fair. and ample allowance, Nelson with a population\" several times its present size may safely reek- on on nearly double that amount. Remembering the terrible disasters ' that-have resulted from the bursting of dams arid reservoirs, >it might be considered advisable by some that the reservoir should\" he further removed from the residential and -business districts. While the adopted plans call for the constructionof a reservoir in a comparatively loose .gravel-wash directly- above the city. - thorough .investigation and particularly careful estimate proves thatr' it may be done \"* with perfect safety. Engineering .. authorities also consider that a clay puddle lining is not only the cheapest but is also sufficiently durable. No c danger may be expected if proper care is' exercised in the puddling and cementing in the vicinity of the outlet pipe. The Miner has the assurances of Mr. McCulloch, the engineer in .- charge, that this will be done. As aii illustration of tlie use and \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD*. durability, of earthen dams, it may be interesting to know that three-fourths of the reservoirs in Canada and the . United States are so constructed. The main dam of thc Oakland, California, system is made of gravel,-sand and clay. It retains live billion gallons of water and is eighty feet high. In Indiaj where water reservoirs arc very extensively'used, dams are invariably made of earth. In the presidency of Madras alone there are 500,000 of them which have licen iu use for hundreds of years. ~- - The never failing water supply of Anderson creek is as pure !as any mountain stream could naturally be. A STAB IN THE DARK. , If a local contemporary desires to criticise the mayor of Nelson, or indulge in remarks concerning the private life of Mr. John Houston, it had better do so in a manly manner and not over the shoulder of the Mixer. In-resrponse to a direct inquiry, and in accordance with its plain duty, this journal, last week, discussed at considerable. length the nn warrantable and illegal action of the mayoi-jin ordering certain bar-rooms to suspend business, and in conclusion remarked that an official investigation of his conduct, rather than an endorsement by the city council, would be much more to the point. N'o reference was made to what our contemporary covertly desires to disclose, x-ik:, certain other actions of Mr. Houston. If Mr. Houston has done something that is illegal or unwarrantable, and our con temporary has the courage to object to thc same, it should formulate its charges and present them to the proper authorities. The publication in question has evidently got some information which it wants to ventilate and has not the spirit to do so. The Mi.ver refuses to discuss the private actions of individuals, but whenever a public oflieial usurps power, or fails lo do his duty, he may expect exposure in these columns. The people > f Xelson do not tolerate vile iniuie.iilos. If lhe l.coiioiiiist has any charges to make let il be fair and above board, or forever hold its peace. TffE ALIEN- LABOR LAW. Canada for Canadians. Great and good is the Dominion government. The Alien Labor law passed nt the last session of the Federal parliament will be used to protect the working men of this country. The Act will be enforced in British Columbia, the NorLh-AVest Territories and Manitoba during the construction of the Nelson & Lethbridge railway. The Act will be put in operation by thc minister of justice appointing agents to adminsler jts regulations. In addition to tho protection afforded by the Alien Labor law, it is said that the Dominion government, has an understanding with the C. P. R. to give preference to Canadians in all cases. As if all these measures were not sufficient to ensure the full benefits of the road going to Canadians, the minister of customs has issued an order to all collectors of customs instructing theni to collect full customs from all parties who may bring into this country railway construction appliances. Heretofore this class of goods was admitted under the clause whieh made settlers' effects free. Now this will not apply to persons who may come from the United States to work oivrailways. Our neighbors south oi* the boundary have only themselves to blame for the introduction of legislation in this country that is antagonistic to theni. Their immigration and tariff* regulations are th6 principal causes for our present5 attitude. The Slocan City News says: \"It is said that a wise man can learn something from fools, but that a fool cannot learn from anybody. If there is a single person in British Columbia who can see the point of one of the hideous alleged cartoons so frequently adorning the pages of eastern Canadian dailies, he should be awarded a leather medal without delay.\" By people who are intelligent and familial- with - tbe politics of this country, the cartoons and caricatures of .1.

N. & P. S. SY. 0PIT0EES., A-MINING INSPECTOR.- At the last session of the legislative assembly an act was passed creating the. office of inspector of metalliferous mines. Nothing further has beeu done in the matter. By the act, authority was given to the lieutetiant-governor-in-couucil to appoiut a mau of at least seven years practical experience iu miuiug, whose duties shall be the inspection of working mines wiih a view to protecting the lives aud health of those employed in and about them. Every owner, ageut, manager or lessee of any metalliferous mine in this Province shall admit the inspector to such miue on the exhibition of his certificate of appointment, for the purpose of 'making the examination and inspection of all hoisting machinery, engines, boilers;- whims, cages, buckets, ropes'and cables in use,, the method of-working and timbering shafts, tunnels, etc., all exits, how the mine is ventilated and its geueral sanitary condition. AVhy does the government delay in making the appointment? It would be well for owners and mana- gers*\"of_mines-toi\"get\"a_copy~of\"thi\"s\"act7 as it also \"contains regulations* which, unless observed, will, make them liable for the payment of heavy fines. A DRONE. Richard J. Vincent, otherwise known as Louis Morningslar, a 15-year old youth hailing originally from New York, arrived in the city during the past week. His chief claim to fame is the fact that for the last' three or four years he has lived luxuriously upon the bounty of the public in nearly every civilized country of the workl. By his stupendous gall only hap he achieved a liylihood. He ignores the patient, honest industry by which tho millions of human beings of0 this world endeavor to win Iheiv daily bread. lie has no high ;yin in life.

The fact that good- natured generosity has been extended lo him has lead him to expect admiration on .all occasions. ilis present method of existence is far from being beautiful, yet some individuals view it with goggled-eyed\" wonderment. His present career so far has been useless except to prove that the rest of humanity is less selfish than he is. The Revelstoke Mail gats oii a neat remarl-ginent thc \"squid-like utterances\" of the Vancouver AVorld. Referring recently to the. plan of the Dominion government for the extension of the Intercolonial railway it says: \"Hon. Mr. Turner styles it a steal; Hon. Mi: Blair, a business deal.

Taul Plumb sat in the smoking-room of tho Hotel I-larx watching a few leaden-fonted hours drug th<>ir slow length along. Ho lind nothing to do, was in a perfectly quiescent state of mind, and amused himself ns best he could by watching tho various' facial expressions of thoso who sauntere.l in nnd then meandered out. Whero i.s tho Hotel Marx? Well, it. is one of those amiable edifices which would bo equally sutlslled with itself in any quarter of tho globe. The landlord hud a very benign countenance, which beamed nt every now comer but developed inexorablo lines when he - objected ta certain items in his bill. Tho waiters wero excessively polite, until they received their fees, and thnn helped you on with your overcoat and gave you a gentle push into the outer world. Tho clerk always addressed you by your right name. He never said \"Certainly, Mr.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD,\" and then coughed. That is one reason why Paul always went to the Marx. His rather feeble notion that ho was a per- sonnge rather than a mere person, somebody quite worth remembering, was encouraged, and tho rhythmic waves of gratification washed tho sands of his nothingness. To bo regarded ns somebody in particular, even when you nre conscious that it is an empty compliment, and that the next comer, though from the backwoods, will be received with the- same personal distinction, has a charm of its own. So Paul always swore hy the Hotel Marx, and does to this day. His cigar had outlived its usefulness. It had served tho purpose of throwing, him into a brown study, but its magical power was waning, and ho had just- hurled it into the fire-place, when, on lookinsr up, he saw the face of Jack Nombers. ' | \"In tho name of all the gods at once!\" ; he cried, as I13 gave tho newcomer both i his hands. \"From what passing cloud did you drop, my.boy?\" I Jack and -Paul were of tl:e class of '86. In mathematics, Paul .led Jack by head and shoulders, but in Greek they were ohcok by jowl. It was a glorious and stimulating rivalry, but Jack could study two honw a day longer than his chum, ond the valedictory, therefore, fell to his lot. Such a physique as Jack's you don't often see. He was five feet, eleven inches . in height, hud the head of Pericles, was forty-two inches around che chest, turned the scales at one ninety-five, and could whip half the gods on Olympus out of \" their sandals.

His back muscles were the-delight of the medicos, and his staying power and pluck were pimply inui'vels. \"Why, I thought you were in \" Australia,\" said Paul. \"Humph! I savpd the sea-sickness and the passage-money,\" replied Jack. \"Too far from home, Paul. Couldn't bear tho idea of mixing with a lot of colonists,' Incipient brigands, arrested developments and1, the\"Lord knows what.

I had un impression that the room was uncomfortably full of people, and that they were having high carnival. When I got my eyes well opened, I could discover only one rather undersized goblin, who wus dressed in black, and had a huge hump on his buck. For about two'seconds there was goose- flesh nil over me, and three\" or four cold shivers ci.ased each other up and down my. spinal column. After that I got my second wind, and proceeded to business. The goblin apparently came through the blunk wall, scuttled over the bare boards In what seemed to be wooden shoes and disappeared through the blank wall on the other side. That rather startled me. However, I was bound to have a tussle with him, und nerved myself, for the task. 'If that wns Mr*. Grink's husband,' I said to mysolf, 'lie imipt have' been a queer looking fellow.

I was a good deal bothered., though, by a terrific rumpus in tho hull. It seemed as though a regiment of soldiers were marching up and down the stairway. Of course, my imagination exaggerated matters, so you will have to take my statements with a grain of salt; but it was bad enough even when you reduce it to a last analysis. I don't think my hair stood on end, though J. wouldn't like to swear to thnt effect; but I am willing to confess thnt .thero were moments when I found it difficult to control myself. At one point, the hobgoblin with the wooden sabots shuflled through tho room. I had been balked ones, aud was bound that that particular spirit should hnve n rugged road to travel. So I mn le a dash, and as luck would have it. tlie candle shade foil as I roso and gavo ma all the light I needed. I got thc thing by the throat, and don't belicvo tho arch-fiend himself could have got away from inc. My blood wns up, fairly boiling, nud I suppose my nervous excitement gave me added strength.. At any rate, the goblin twisted and writhed and uttered a lot of incoherent cries, tho best ho could do, perhaps, since I hnd my' thumb on hi? windpipe, or where the windpipe ought to be in nn ordinary native American citizen. After a pretty hard struggle, I got liim on tho floor with my knee on his chest. Thnt, was a supreme moment, Paul. He couldn't budgo, nnd- I wns master (if the situation. But I hnd reckoned without my host, for I suddenly heard stealthy footit?ps behind me, und the next instant received n blow on thc back of my head, which sent mo sprawling.

My uttuck must have been unexpected, for, when I threw myself against .iny opponent's body, ho reeled. That wns my opportunity I made a second dash,-nnd as thc big goblin fell.to thu floor, the little goblin took to his heels and disappeared. Talk'about raining blows! It wasn't a rnin, but a pour.

The initial gener- tition plant will consist of two machines, having a capacity of 1,000 horse-powers .each, from which the current will-pass through step-up tiansformers, raising it 20=,000 volts, the highest pressure as yet \" used on any electrical transmission line. At this high pressure, the energy will be carried to a sub-station at Rossland, a distance, of thirty miles, where it will be reduced to a pressure of 2,000 volts for transmission\" to the moters used in connection with the different mining enterprises. The electric(power will be used for operating tramways, hoists, pumps, ventilators, stamp mills, drills,\" etc., and will be sold at a\" price which,in comparison witb the present high cost ot power generated from coal, means a greatly reduced expenditure in this direction by the different miuing companies.
