"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 .

It was one of the most decisive battles which the patriots gained\nin many months and the most important one since war was declared by\nthe United States against Spain.\nA column of Spanish soldiers 1300\nstrong, acting under orders from Havana to abandon the interior towns\n\"aiid'Sdvanee^ toward\"\"the coastrevacu--\nated the town of Lapiedra after having destroyed their forts and fortifications to prevent them from falling into\nthe hand's of the insurgents, and\ncamped at Jiguani, where, they expected to remain to await further\norders. The Cubans altogether numbered little more than 1000 men, while\nl' the Spaniards were fully twice that\nnumber. The Cubans advanced in\ngood order, being well equipped, with\narms and ammunition and took the\nenemy competely by surprise. At the\nstart the Spaniards \"were scattered, but\nthe officers made an effort to rally\ntheir forces. They only succeeded in\nbeing able to retreat in regular order\nto the village of Palma.\nAfter six hours ha-sd fighting at\nPalma the Spaniards raised a flag of\nruce and expressed themselves as\nbeing willing to surrender. Terms\nwere speedily arranged aud the Cubans\ntook as prisoners one Spanish colonel,\nseven captains and several other officers, besides 103 soldiers. The Spanish\nloss amounted to 76 dead, besides a\nlarge number wounded. Included in\nthe Spanish loss were 13 officers. The\nCubans sustained heavy loss, but it\nwas considerably smaller; than the\nSpaniards.\n* It is reported that 45 were killed, including five officers of lesser rank, and\nabout 60 wounded. After -the battle\nthe Cubans returned to Jiguani. There\nthey recovered a large quantity of\narms and ammunition from the deserted Spanish camp, together with\nprovisions and suplies of wagons,\nwhich the enemy had been compelled\nto leave behind. These were much\nneeded and were sent to the headquarters of General Garcia at Bayamo.\ntliat Captain Phillips, commander of\nthe United States battleship Texas had\nbeen seriously injured by a shell during the bombardment of the Santiago\nforts on Monday, is absolutely without foundation. Captain Phillips received no injury whatever.\nNEWS FROM MANILA.\nMadrid, June 8.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDThe minister of\nwar, General Correa, received news\nfrom the Philippine islands today and\ncommunicated it to the premier, Senor\nSagasta, saying the governor general\nof that colony, General Augusti, asked\nfor full liberty of action. He added\nthat Aguinaldo, the insurgent leader,\ncontinues to excite a general insurrection in the archipelago. A despatch\nfrom.the commander of, the island of\nVisayas says that officials sent two\ngunboats to the island,; of i Luzon with\ninstructions to try and communicate\nwith Manila, but, he adds, they were\ncompelled to return unsuccessful. The\ngovernment replied instructing the\ncoriiniander of the island of Visayas\nto restore communication with Manila at all costs. General Correa would\nnot furnish the text of the despatches\nfor publication on the ground that it\nwould be prejudicial to the country's\ninterests. A member of the government admitted, however, that the dispatch of Spanish troops to the Philippine islands could not change the situation. He said:\n\"We could send six thousand troops,\nbut if the natives are against us such\na force would be inadequate. If they\nwenTwith us it would not be \"iieces-\nsary to send troops to theo Philippines. \"\nOTHER ISLANDS INVOLVED,\nCape Haytien, June 8.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDMuch mystery was observed regarding the visit\nof the Dominican gunboat Restoracion\nto this port yesterday evening. It\ntranspires this morning that President\nHeureux of San Domingo was aboard\nthe vessel and that from there he goes\nto Iuagua, where Senor Jimenez was\nlast known to be located. The Restoracion left Cape Haytien before 5\no'clock this morning. Commodore\nJanseun, who came ashore to receive\nthe report of the Dominican consul,on\ntlie alleged illegal shipment of men\nfrom this port by Senor Jimenez and\nMorales to take part in the lauding of\nthe revolutionists at Monte Cristo,\nspent the greater part of the day with\nthe consul.

She proceeded to Port de Paix in order to investigate the report of the presence of\nJimenez in that place just before the\nrevolutionary attempt at Monte Cristo.\nIt is understood that if President\nHeureux finds that Jimenez is still at\nInamgua he will make an effort to induce the authorities there to deliver\nthe insurgent leaders over to him on\nthe charge of piracy.\nREPUBLICAN'S WIN. .\nTHE FINAL STRDBGLE.\nSPANIARDS lN CUBAN P0RT3 WILL\nRESIST TO THE LAST\nEX1REMITT.\nCAPT.

At 5:30 yesterday morning (Tuesday) five ships of the American squadron opened a heavy bombardment on the fortifications of the\ntown. There was a perfect hail of\nbombs in the bay, striking and demolishing many houses beyond the fortifications. On the Spanish side the artillery replied vigorously, maintaining\nfor some time a stout resistence. The\nfire from the warships, however, never\nslackened for an instant. It was a\nregular and carefully directed fire, and\na great majority of the shots proved\neffective. The Spaniards were forced\nto abandon their positions on the shore\nand retreat to the town of Caimanera\npropei-. It is supposed that later they\nfled from that position also, with the\ninhabitants. Information has reached\nhere that the Spanish at Santiago and\nCaimanera are preparing for a final\nstruggle, and are determined to resist\nthe assault of the Americans tothe\nlast extremity. . .\nThe commander of the district issued\norders yesterday to burn Cainiahera\nbefore yielding it into the hands ofthe\nAmericans. The latter forced an entrance to the bay of Guantanamo,' and\naccording to the latest advices from\nCaimanera it was feared there that\nthe Americans would make an effort to\nland forces there this Wednesday after.-\nuoon. Measures to prevent thia if possible have been taken by the Spaniards. The American fleet was still\nmaintaining its position when the\ncable communication with Cuba, which\nhad been interrupted for many hours,\nwas partially restored this,afternoon.\nThe report of the' bombardment of\nCaimanera came by cable. The bombardment destroyed a little house\nwhich sheltered the shore connection\nof the French cable at Caimanera,\nthough whether by explosion of bombs\nfrom the water or by explosives used\nby a party sent for that purpose is not\nknown.\nThe cables uniting the main cable\nwith the office at Caimanera and the\ntown of Caimanera with Santiago\nwere cut. It is also believed that the\ncable to Santiago is cut, as uo direct\nnews from Santiago has yet been received iat Cape Haytien since Monday\nat midnight.\nFROM SPANISH SOURCES.\nAnother Story of the Bombardment of\nSantiago de Cuba.\nMadrid, June 8.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDA semi-offical note\nwas published here today purporting to\ngivean account of-the bombardment o\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\nSantiago de Cuba by the American\nfleet on Monday last. The American\nnavy under Admiral Sampson fiercely\nattacked Santiago de Cuba. A bloody\nencounter ensued. The Americans\nmade three attacks on the Spanish\nmarine and land batteries, which replied. As a consequence the Americans were repulsed with heavy losses,\nestimated at 1500 men. American projectiles sank the Spanish cruiser Renia\nMercedes.\nSPANISH PRESS COMMENT.\nUnanimously in Favor of Vigorous\nProsecution of the \"War.\nLondon, June 8.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD-The Madrid correspondent of the Standard says:\nEl Liberal calls upon the government to take steps promptly to satisfy\npublic opinion, which is clamoring for\nthe immediate dispatch of a relief expedition to assist- Captainu General\nAugusti in forcing the Americans to\nleave Manila. This alone, the paper\nargues, would put a stop to the spread\nof agitation and disaffection among\nthe natives of the island of Luzon.\nThe nation, says El Liberal, has remained patient only because it has believed the government would really arrange such expedition.\nEl Imperial advocates a similar\ncourse, insisting that the fate of Spanish rule in the Philippines could in\nthis way be easily decided at Manila.\nEl Heraldo is even more energetic\nin its calls upon the cabinet to \"act\nbefore it is too late.\"\nThe press campaign is evidently intended to exercise pressure upon the\ngovernment before the reserve fleet at\nCadiz receives final instructions,\nwhich are hourly expected by Admiral Camara. The reports from the\nPhilippines state that the Spaniards\nhave succeeded in checking the pro-\npoganda of Aguinaldo, who admits he\nhas not met with tlie support which\nhe expected from the natives. Americans have been preparing defences at\nthe mouth of the bay ever since the\nSpanish authorities set the rumor\nafloat among the natives that a relief\nexpedition is on the way and is expected very shortly.\nSenor Sagasta is manoeuvering very\ndexterously and refraining from giving\nany pledges either to friars or reformers on the plea that under present circumstances any definite solution must\nbe postponed until the end of the war.\nSTEAMER SEIZED.\n!

Unfortuneately the\njra^epayers have hail \"P pr*>of submitted to them that, these figures are true,\nwid that without casting any imputation on Mr. Hillyer.\n., ,..We /presume Mr. Hillyer got there\nflj^es from some official of tlie electric\nlight company, and we do hot doiibt\ntor a moment that he puts them fpr-\n^a|fd. iiii good faith, but what the\npeople of Nelson want to lchow is: ji\ntte affairs of the electric light company are so prosperous why do they\nObject to issuing a statement of their\niiccounts? Why do they object to having their books audited? And why do\nthey refuse to allow an independent\nValuation to be made of tlieir plant?\nThe council are asking the city to\nexpend a large sum of money in purchasing a business of whose inner\nworking ^either they nor tlie ratepajr-\n\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDrs know anything. No business man\nyould risk his money thus blindly;\n^fc^sfioipi^\nWhen The Miner opened, the discussion on the subject about ten days ago\nJt was ih the hope and expectation that\nthose responsible for this proposed\npiece of legislation would show that\ntheir actions were based on sound business principles and that they had well\nauthenticated facts and figures to\n^iijlde 0 them. Our expectations have\nuot been realized. In Mr. Hillyer's\n*able exposition , of the position 61\nthe council, the readers of[ The\nMiner will not find one word denoting that either he or his colleagues\nhave been able to obtain one iota of\n-independent and unbiased evidence\n-as-'to the real value of the concern in\n\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDwhich the citizens of Nelson are\nasked to invest $40,000.\nIt is not so long ago since the sliare-\n\"holders of the electric light company\nweire grumbling loudly at the management, and one of the large stockholders announced his willingness to sell\nliis stock at a discount. It was only\nlast fall that the company had a heavy\noverdraft at the bank. These are matters of cbinmbh knowledge, so is it surprising that the ratepayers of Nelson\nwant something more than the bare\nassertion of the electric light officials\nthat the . affairs of the company are\n/flburishiniV to induce them to put $40,-\n000 into the ^concern?\nIt is to be hoped that no one Who is\nentitled tb vot'e tbday will neglect to\ndo so either through neglect or laziness Every vote should be polled, as\nthe contest will proliably be a close\ncine; aiid in any case ii large poll is indicative of a healthy interest in civic\naffairs. Eveiy bwiier of assessed property lias a vote, aiid if anyone has proporty in both wards he is\nentitled to a vote in both places. The\npolling station for the cast ward, is at\nthe city hall, aiid tliat for the west\nward is at the office of J. Keith Reed,\noh Baker street, west' bf the Biiiik of\nBritish Columbia. Nobody should stay\naway because they think the by-law is\nbound to pass and it is ho good voting\nagainst it. Considerable opposition\nhas developed the last few days, and it\nis very doubtful.if the necessary three\nfifths majority will be, obtained.\n7 It is said that Spain suspects that\ncoal purchased in British Columbia is\nbeing used on American warships, and\ntb'assure herself in the matter is sending an envoy extraordinary to Vancouver. There is not likely to be any\nMr. Clements today accuses The\nMiner of being unfair in its criticism\nof his reply to Dr. Arthur in yesterday's issue. We would point out to\nMr. Clements that the notice he complains of was but a short one of but a\nfew lines, and did not pretend to go\ninto the details of his somewhat voluminous letter. Ora criticism was\ndirected at the salient point at issue,\nand if Mr. Clements will consider it\nand the two letters, apart from petty\nideas of quibbling with words lie must\nadmit we aire right. Dr, Arthur said:\n\"A majority of the members of list\nyear's council sacrificed tlie public interest by making a street lighting contract at an exorbitant figure,\" and\nthen proceeded to justify it by stating\nthat the present plant was inadequate\nfor' the necessities of the city. This; is\nohe homogeneous argument, aiid\nshould be answered ais a whole or not\nat all; Mr. Clements' comparison of\nthe Rostand priceis seemed irrelevant\nand uhiiecessaiy, so we passed it over.\nMr Clements then c\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD&6 to tfie pbiiit,\ni e, the inadequate nature of the plant,\nand in answer to this advanced the\nopinion of an engineer whoin he did\nhot name.

P. R.\nofficials arrived in Nelson last night,\nincluding T. G. Shatighnessy, vice\npiv.sidp.nt of tho road; R. Marpole, the\ngeneral superintendent; W. Whyte,\nmanager of the roads west of Fort William; L. A. Hamilton, land commissioner of the C. P. R. ; Robert Ken*,\ntraffic manager of tlie western lines,\nand their private secretaries.\nIn the courso of an interview Mr.\nShaughnessy informed the representative of The Miner tliat it was not\nfinally settled whether Nelson would\nbe made a divisional point or not, as\nthe geographical distances had not yet\nbeen figured out, but that it was his\nopinion that Nelson would become a\ndivisional point when things were\nfinally settled. The question of the\nlocation of machine shops depends on\nthe settlement of the divisional point,\nso thero is an equal probability0***\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD Nelson getting tho machine shops here as\nwell.\nMr. Shaughnessy further said that\nit was most certainly his fixed determination to bring the Crow's Nest\nPass railroad into Nelson, thus there\nis nothing to fear from the reports- so\nindustriously circulated from time to\ntime in Rossland that it was intended\nto divert the road from the route originally laid down.\nMr. Shaughnessy stated that he and\nhis party were going to look over the\nground today, with a view to deciding\non the advisability of altering or moving the existing C. P. R. depot.\nIt has been definitely settled to\nwiden the Columbia and Western railway between Rossland and Trail to\nstandard guage.\nThe contracts on the Penticton extension have been awarded, as previously announced in this paper, several\nof the contractors being in town now.\nTheC. P. R. smelter at Trail received\nover ICOO tons of ore last week, and\nconstruction work is going on rapidly.\nThe policy of the C. P. R. will be to\nencourage the production of mineral\nin every way, and to depend on their\ncontingent advantages rather than on\nthe actual smelting, for their profits.\nMr. Shaughnessy, in conclusion,\nsaid that Nelson's 'future as a railroad\ntown depended on its position, and\nthat in his opinion its position was\nunrivalled in the Kootenays.\nA GOOD BOAT RACE.\nTlie extraordinary whistling of the\nKokanee as she arrived at the city\nwharf caused considerable excitement\nin Nelson yesterday morning, and a\nlarge number of citizens went down to\nthe wharf to find out the cause. From\na passenger a Miner reporter learned\nthat as the Kokanee was making her\nregular trip from Kaslo the steamer\nInternational, which was at Five Mile\nPoint, started out from that place and\nhaving about a two length lead on the\nKokanee bantered her for a race. The\nresult was that the Kokanee passed her\nrival and came into Nelson half a\nmile ahead. There has always been a\ngood deal of rivalry between the two\nboats, as they are considered the best\ntwo on Kootenay lake, but this was\nthe first really good race they have\nhad. The Kokanee has never been\npassed by any boat on the lake.\nGLADSTONE'S PERSONAL TRAITS\nMr. Gladstone used gesture with\nsome freedom in debate, and when he\nwas in good spirits and in thorough\nform his whole body became a part of\nthe speech. He had a habit when he\nwas in this mood of wrinkling up his\nface\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDaud the face was so deeply lined\nthat the effect was very comic, and the\nhouse always laughed with the old mau\nand perhaps laughed a little at him.\nWhen he was in a rage he would pull\ndown his shirt cuffs, and this was an\nespecially impressive or laughable ges\nture-when-he\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDwas\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDin^evening\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDdress^\nAnother of his mannerisms was that\nat certain points in his speech he\nwould scratch his head at the top with\nthe thumb of his right haud.^^\nLORD ABERDEEN ADDRESSED.\nResolutions of Regret Passed by the\nHouse of Commons.\nOttawa, June 8.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD-Sir Wilfred Laurier, premier and first minister, this\nmorning moved in the house of commons the adoption of an address to His\nExcellency Lord Aberdeen, governor\ngeneral of Canada, upon the occasion\nof his approaching departure. The\nfirst minister intimated that the administration of Lord Aberdeen was\nmarked with unusual devotion. The\ncountry would follow the withdrawal\nof their Excellencies with universal\nregret. \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD The address also expressed\nloyalty to the British crown and constitution and called upon Lord Aberdeen to convey the same to Her Majesty. Hon. Mr. Foster, as acting\nleader of the opposition, added his\ntribute to the popularity of Lord Aberdeen. He said that it would be folly\nto discuss that notable difference between Lord Aberdeen and Sir Charles\nTupper, in which the latter had the\nsupport of the liberal, conservative\nparty.\nThis did not blind them to the many\nexcellencies of the governor general's\ncharacter, official functions under\nLord Aberdeen having attained a cordiality seldom seen in gatherings of\nthis kind. Cities from Halifax to\nVictoria have all been the recipients of\nhis hospitality.\nCRICKET MATCH.\n<41\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\nA cricket match will be played, on\nthe recreation grounds on Saturday,\nJune 18, between the Nelson and Ross-\njland elevens.

Coming down to close\nfiguring, the management of the light\ncompany has agreed to accept something under $36,000.\n, As an argument in favor of the purchase upon these terms I may say that\nthe revenue of the light company for\nthe past month was $1378, and the\noperating expenses $400, leaving the\nprofit on the month's operation $978.\nTaking from this amount the sum of\n$210, which represents the amount\npaid by the corporation for lighting,\nthere remains a profit of $768 per\nmonth. This profit in a year's operation would amount to $9216. The position may therefore be stated in this\nway: Should the ratepayers of the\ncity decide to record their votes in\nfavor of the $40,000 by-law for lighting purposes the council would be in a\nposition to purchase the plant of the\ncompany and have $4000 available for\nextension purposes. The interest and\nsinking fund upon this sum would\namount to $3440 per annum. In the\ncourse of five years the city would\nhave paid out in interest and sinking\nfund, ton account of this loan the sum\nof $17,200, and would have received in\nprofits from the commercial lighting the\nsum of $46,000, or a sum sufficient to repay purchase price of the plant and interest upon the same from the date bf\npurchase and in addition have free\ncivic lighting during the whole\nperiod.\nWere this all that could he said in\nfavor of the purchase it should commend itself to everyone wlio has\nthe interest of the city at heart. 7 But\nit is not all. I contend that under\nmunicipal control much better results\nconld be obtained than are at present\npossible under private ownership. The\ncity council is now face to face with\nthe problem of draining all the streams\nwhich at present flow through the\ntownsite, into some other channels.\nThese streams are no longer necessary\nfor drinking purposes or for fire protection, and in tne interests of the\nowners of property in addition A, and\nfor the preservation of the roadways,\nthe council will have to divert these\nstreams iuto Cottonwood Smith creek.\nShould the corporation own the electric light plant it would derive the direct benefit of the increased power\nwhich the diversion of all these\nstreams into Cottonwood Smith creek\nwould create. This would render it\npossible for the corporation to very\nmaterially reduce the rates for private\nlighting, while the increased number\nof lights which the company could\nsupply would not- red/ace the profits\nupon the operation qf the plant.\n^s^Those-who^a-reiopposedl_toJtheipurjv\nchase of the light company's plant are\nnot content to decide the question\nupon its merits. They insinuate that\n'thero has been a job hatched up by\nthe council to unload a plant upon the\ncorporati6n for $36,000 which is not\nworth more than #20,000, and that the\nmajority ot the members of the council\nare interested in the, light company.\nIt is needless to say *. that these are\nstories circulated by disappointed\nmen. ,\n\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD There are but two members of the\ncouncil interested in the light company\n\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDMayor- Houston and Alderman Malone, and neither one of these ever cast\na vote'upon the by-law dealing with\nthe contemplated purchase, or approached any member-with a view to\nsecuring his influence in the introduction or passage of any such by-law. If\nthere is any job in this matter I am\nprobably responsible for the same,\nsince I took the lead in the agitation\nof the municipal ownership of the\nelectric light'franchise.'\nThere is another point which the\nopponents of the by-law persistently\nmisstate. The passage of the by-law\ndoes not bind the council to make the\npurchase, if it should be shown that\nthe plant of the company is uot worth\nthe price naniScl for it. With respect\nto this, however, I submit the statements of the officers of the light company and the entries in the company's books as to the cost of the\nplant should have more weight with\nthe ratepayers than the unsupported\nstatements,,of Dr. Arthur. I consider\nin common with every member of the\ncouncil that the price asked by the\nelectric light company for its plant\nand franchise is a very modest one. I\nhave reason to believe that more advantageous terms for the purchase of a\nlight system will never present themselves to the city, and I earnestly\nhope that in the.interests of the, city\nthe ratepayers will mark tlieir ballots\nin favor of \"this by-law.\nThe advantages of municipal owne\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD-\nship have been admirably worked\nout, in the case of; the city water\nworks. From this source the city has\nnow a revenue of over $600 per month.\nThe city has, therefore, in -\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD' the waterworks an asset capable of paying off in\n20 years the interest and sinking fund\nobligations of a debt of over \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD80,000.\nShould it decide to purchase the\nelectric light plant it would liave a\nmonthly revenue of $1500 from the light\nand water systems1, or a sum equal to\nthe task of paying interest upon a debt\nof over $200,000 and of wiping the\nsame out in 20 jrears, in addition to\nfurnishing the city with light free of\nany additional cost. Tho great advantage of municipal-ownership would\nbo that the revenue from these sources\nwill not only take caro of tho funded\ndebt of the city, but will allow the expenditure of a considerable sum for\ngeneral municipal purposes without\nburdening the property of the city\nwith increased taxation. Yours,\nCHAS. HILLYER.\nELECTRIC LIGHT QUESTION.\nFurther Discussion of the Subject\nby a Prominent Citizen.\nTo the Editor of the Miner:\nSir\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDThe respectable apathy of this\ncity appears to have received a momentary check, owing to the attempt made\nby certain worthy individuals to induce the ratepayers to purchase the\nundertaking of the Electric Light company at, apparently, any price, not exceeding $40,000, the said company\nchoose to ask. Recent settlers in the\ncity may wonder at the edifying\nspectacle of a '' city father,'' who is\nvirtually a trustee for the interests of\nthe city, endeavoring to sell to the city\nau undertaking in which he is personally largely interested at a price,\nwhich is obviously wholly out of proportion to the value of the said undertaking. = Several gentlemen of some\nstanding iu the city have advocated\nin your columns the necessity of ah independent valuation before fixing the\nprice, but, as might be expected, their\nrequest has so far been wholly ignored.\nBut there are some, myself included,\nwho from a fairly intimate knowledge\nof the methods employed by some of\nthe city authorities, and of the character of some of the worthies composing the same, marvel that the price to\nbe paid is not to be fixed at, at least,\n$80,000. When gentlemen of education and culture sacrifice themselves to\nthe welfare of the city by accepting\npositions as mayor, aldermen or other\noffices connected with the city, at\nsalaries altogether inadequate to their\nabilities, can they be blamed for attempting by justifiable speculation,\neven if it should be at the expense of\nthe ratepayers, to make provision in\norder to enable them to enjoy an honored old age, free from pecuniary\nworry or press criticisms by inquisitive and practical citizens. The only\nblame they incur is for the humbug\nthey, tiy to impose on ns (vide the\narticle in last Saturday's Tribune) by\nposing as philanthropists who are\nready to sell the undertaking of the\nElectric Light company at an absurdly\nlow price in order to confer inestimable benefit to the city thereby.\nI have no doubt but that the majority of votes on June 9th will be in\nfavor of by-law No. 34, and that thereby the credit of the city will suffer,\nwhile the credit of the Electric Light\ncompany's shareholders, so far as\ntheir respective banking accounts are\nconcerned, will be considerably increased. At the, same time I trust that\nmany unimportant voters, to whom, I\nrejoice to say, I belong, will do their\nlittle best to protest against the\naction of the mayor and aldermen. It\nhas been said by an unimpeachable\nauthority , that'' God helps those who\nhelp themselves.\" Surely more deser-\ning objects for Divine assistance never\nbreathed on this earth than the mayor\nand municipal council (including certain city officials) of tbe corporation\nof the city of Nelson.

In reply to this statement I cited that whereas the city\ncouncil of Nelson agreed to pay $120\nper lamp per annum for street lighting, the best offer the city of Rossland\nhad for street lighting was $125 per\nlamp per annum.\n: If you were fair yoti would have\ncorrectly stated this. It was against\nDr. Arthur's estimate of the'power of\nthe company's plant that the opinion\nof the electrical engineer was offered\niii rebuttal.\nDr. Arthur says that the 5300 odd\nhorse-power of the company is not\nsufficient to run 150 arc lamps. Frank\nDarling, an electrical engineer, says\nthat the arc lamps require but half a\nhorse-power, and that 300 horse-power\nwould run 600 arc lamps. This is jhe\nissue taken by an electrical engineer\nagainst the statements of: Dr, Arthur.\nand your readers may judge as to\nwhich is the best authority upon'electrical affairs. A. H.
