THE'MINING REVIEWï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½Saturday, July, 12, 1902. Tie Mining Review. SATURDAY, JULY 12, 1902. LABOR REFORMS. The great trouble with the labor orators is they are not fair to capilal or just to labor. It is quite reasonable to believe that distant in the world's history true Socialism will displace the profit system, and the world will be all the better for it; but the so-called Socialistic apostles of the day, Eugene V. Debs, one of the ablest, included, are not just in their criticisms; their tendency is to bear on men's sympathies and feelings, instead of their judgment, to create and develop prejudices, that must prove prejudicial to humanity until that great millennium, the day of Socialism, has dawned upon the face of the earth. Just listen to even Mr. Debs and you will notice his entire effort is directed to convince every man working for wages, no matter what his wages may be, that he is a slave to capital; and that if he is not as well off as his employer is, it is because, and only, because, he has been ill used by capital. You have, however, only to look around and you will see this is not only unfairï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½it is dishonest. In the first place, it is very unfair to compare the coal miner earning his dollar day or less, when his employer has it in his own hands to advance the price of the products and pay his men better wages, with the miner of British Columbia, who is getting his $2.25 clear '" for eight hours work, from an employer, who is not making as much money as his men, and who is powerless to advance the price of his products. In like manner it is unfair to prey on men's passions, and tell the penniless, thriftless, . gambling, near-do-well drunkard, that if he iB not in comfortable circumstances, getting as good a living as his employer is getting, it is the profit system, and that alone, that is to blame for it. No blame falls on the shoulders of the men themselves. It would not sufficiently excite the prejudices and passions of. men, whose ballots may be required for men as as lacking in principle, honor and integrity, as themselves, to tell them this. Now,if we understandgenuineSocialism a right, if it was in vogue today, the men who are poor because they are indolent, thriftless and inebriate, could not and would not become equally contented with present employers by pursuing present lives. They would be compelled by circumstances and surroundings to reform. Why don't Mr. Debs and men like him tell their hearers this while dealing in their diatribes on the prejudices and passions of men the world desires to-see reform. There are many men in the world, and especially in British Columbia, while employed at labor, through thrift, EASY TO FIND When you find a medicine that makes your regular food taste good, when you find a medicine that strengthens a weak stomachï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½then you know you're going to put some flesh on. .Scott's Emulsion does these things.

Mr. Debs and men like him must be sufficiently observing to know this; but strange to say they make no use in this channel of their knowledge ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½it does not suit their purpose. There is great need for reforms in the economic systems of the dayï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½a crying demand for legislation to better the conditions of the laboring classes; but men who attempt to handle the matter must be Crowning joy of womanhood is motherhood and- crowning joy of mother- liood is to have healthy children. But there can be.no joy in motherhood without health, and without health for the mother there can be no health for the child. It is of vital importance for women to know that the health of mother and child is in general entirely within woman's control. The thousands of women who have used Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription when expecting motherhood, have testified that it made them healthy and happy in the days of waiting, made the baby's advent practically painless, and gave them health to give their. children. Mrs. W. J. Kidder, of Hill Dale Farm (Enos- burg Center), Ivtiosburg, Vt., writes: "Duringthe past year I found myself expecting maternity, and iu rapidly failing health. I suffered dreadfully from bloating and urinary difficulty. I was growing perceptibly weaker each day and suffered much sharp pam at times. I felt that something must be done. I sought your advice and received a prompt reply. Took twelve bottles of Doctor Pierce's Favorite Prescription, and also followed your instructions. I began. to improve immed'iately, my health became excellent, and I could do all my own work (we live on a good sized farm). I walked and rode nil I could, and enjoyed it. I had a short, easy confinement and have a healthy baby boy." The People's Common Sense Medical Adviser, containing 1008 pages, is given away.

We are told the so-called Progressive party are now in the field organising the whole country from ocean to the lake. To the minds of many this forebodes considerable. To most people il is apparent what this country' most needs is capital? The resources are here in abundance, but it is not progressing as itshouldsimplybecause the money necessary to develop these resources is not available. Is the Progressive party organising to bring in capital. That's the point. The contrary is known to be the case. The highest aims of many of the leaders of that party are to stifle capital at'every angle, and make it a prey to the rapacity of men who think it.has no rights in the ..country. Are the people who have invested their all here, and who know safety in investments must be assured before there is a turn for the better, going to 6land idly by and see the ways and methods of those whose chief aim is plunder, prevail? It is a fact that labor is always entitled to a fair division of its earnings, but it is not entitled to all, nor less still to the formation of a policy that will render earnings nil. Capitalists know well the chief aim of those so-called Progressive leaders is to render capital an easy prey to their wills and wishes. Let that party then once get control of things in this province and good-bye to capital and its services in the country, as legislation will'be so shaped as to make investments at any and all times an easy prey to the lawless and thriftless elements of the country. We must always have a high respect for honest toil, concede its high place in the development of the country and just title to a fair share of its proper earnings; but honest toil and victimising capital, rendering provincial advancement impossible are two very different things. It appears to us that the time is fully ripe for those who have interests in the country arid desire to see something made out ot them, through the employment of capital and wages at fair figures, to assert themselves and see that they will have a voice in future government. Thero should be a full and complete organization of all classes who desire to see capital come in in safety, become invested with a moderate degree of profit to the, owners, that labor may be in active demand, and that commerce and the minorindustries may once more be placed upon their feet. All partisanship should be sunk for the welfare of the province, and see whenever the elections may come around that a choice be made of candi. dates whoEe'first and only considera- ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ THE, CHURCHES. - Thereis a great tendency among the smart Alio papers of the west, our neighbor included, todecry the churches, to ridicule the preachers, and scoff at everything of a religious nature. What is to be gained by this, it is most difficult to comprehend. It is quite true the churches and the clergymen are not perfection, and that in the light of scientific discovery, revelation and advanced common 6ense and education, many of the teachings of the Christian churches and clergymen would bear, in the public interest, considerable revision and pruning; but this is no reason they should be abolished altogether. It is not necessary to knock a man's head off to remove the wart on his nose. There are some people who .say conscience is the proper guide to right and wrong, and the training of, the churches for moral rectitude is altogether unnecessary. Without dealing with the value of religious training on the youth in the church and the Sunday school, and the influence on the man and the woman throughout life, we may remark that conscience is simply a barometerï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½it is not always the same. Let religious training be abolished for a few generations, and the standard of the conscience of man will be found to have receded many degrees. Phrenology" teaches, that the children of educated musicians or mechanics are better musicians or mechanics than they would be, if their parents were never educatedï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½that" in short, the education of the parent imparts stronger capabilities to the child;: If this so, and no one attemps to dispute it, then lack of education shows a corresponding decline in the capability of tlie offspring. On the same reasoning, if the influences of' the churches that cultivate the consciences of the people be withdrawn, the standard of conscience will decline in the race until it all but entirely disappears,, as is found to be the case in many of the savage races. If for no other reasons than to keep up the standard of conscience as a guide to rectitude, it pays to extend the influence of the churches.

After paying a dividend at the rate of 10 per cent per annum, a balance of $28.- 142.89 was carried forward to the credit of profit and loss. This company's assets are their coal mines and the townsite of Fcrnie. Four years ago this company had no transportation facilities, and their stock sold as low as 11 cents per share. Today their stock is selling at $90, ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ The Similkameen Valley 'Coal Company, Limited, assets are coal,mines, timber, water power, agricultural and horticultural land, city water works, electric light plant, and tlie townsito-of Ashnola, surrounded by the following resources:ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½Gold, copper, silver, lead," iron, lime, fireclay, platinum, and a fine stock raising country, and it is the smelter centre of the Similkameen valley with a climate all that could bo asked.

From reports the dry ore belt around Slocan lake is in a very prosperous condition. A number of the smaller properties and prospects are "working with smallstafrs of men. A number of these properties are under bond and new management, some of them have been bonded this year. The Hampton group has commenced work on a small scale. The Hampton ore is very rich, and it easy to work this mine in a small way on account of the littleexpense required to develop it. The Enterprise has a force of about 60 men at work. Machine drill are doing most of the work. The mill isgrind- ing steadily and regular shipping is being kept up. The Neepawa is working; with eight men on the force, and W. IT. Sandiford, who has a bond on this property, has i made good showing on it. Latter on the force may be increased. On the Ottawa a ciew of ten men is at work, and very encouraging results are being met with. The owners of the Mabou group have decided to start development again this season. A very important strike wTas recently encountered whiledoingassess- ment on the west vein, which is about six feet wide. It has been crosscut for fully 500 feet and ore is found to cover tliat distance. At a point 150 feet below the upper showings the vein has been crosscut, showing from two to three feet of ore. Samples taken lrom the ledge assay from 50 to 300 ounces of silver. The Iron Horse, the Speculator, Black Prince group and the Transfer are all working steadily.

American Boy Mine. The American Boy mine is still keeping up development work as usual, and at the present time the ore is being taken out from No. 3 tunnel.-Stoping is being done between 'the third and second tunnels. The vein which is being worked has a paystreak of from 18 inches to five feet of rich ore. This ore nets an average of IfSOO to the car. It has been estimated that there are about 20,000 tonB of this ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ ore blocked out and it is said to be worth some where in the neighborhood of $80,000, Tho mine's output is being shipped to the Everett smelter and the last shipment was made on the 23rd of June. There are several carloads of the ore ready for shipment. The manager says the reason for discontinuing the shipments was because of a hitch in the negotiations with the Last Chance for use of their tram. However, this matter will be settled at once and shipping will commence again. The hard ore gives from G5 to 130 ounces in silver and yields from 50 to70 percent in lead. The soft ore runs from 40 to 75 ounces in silver and about 55 per cent lead, and much better values are expected with depth. No attempt will be made to seek a deeper level until the, ore in sight is disposed of. Considerable difficulty is encountered in handling the water in the workings, but by the time the upper levels are worked it is expected to have the mine thoroughly drained. There is a force of 17 men working on double shift. Another Water System. The council appears bent on sinking the city in $10,000 more debt for a second water system. The idea of trying to make two systems pay in a place ' of 500 people, ip absurd on the face of it, and doubly bo, when the motive is spite. It remains to be seen whether enough land owners can be found in the city to assure'snch an additional debt to enable two or three aldermen to gratify a personal feeling. In interest and management it cannot cost the city less than $2,500 a year on present taxes, and there may go 15 or 20 people who will take the water. There is another thing our city council should consider before they go on with their proposed water system ; it is this: J. M. Harris possesses the right to drive tunnels or sink shafts on any portion of his mineral claim. Even in his leases and deeds he reserves the right to do this. When the object of some of the council is spite, they may get too much of it. It will not be a pleasant thing to be continually shifting mains and hydrantB to escape the force of blasting powder. We advise the council strongly to abolish tho idea of a second water system. The citizens have now enough j of debt. The proposition will cost $100 in submission to the citizens, and will only be another waste of public money. Let the council think in time. *^e'Jm: Wood's RiospMSne^ ^^m/ffssm The Great English Remedy. ' Sold and recommended "by all druggists in Canada. Only reliable medicine discovered.

Sandilands is fencing in his fall wheat, as it is an easy prey to the horees of the town. E. W. Savage died in Greenwood on Monday as a result of an accidental the Mother Lode mine. Red Paddy says he has several claims in the Boundary country, but is unable tohadle them for the lack of capital. j A. Crawford is building a new stable on the corner to the road leading up the Star gulch. A sidewalk is going down also, which is vec^ badly needed. ' "Win. Trout, manager of the American Boy mine, was in Spokane the past week on business in connection with the mine. He returned on Thursday. The wet weather put a damper on the lawn .social at Mrs. Alex.'_, Crawford's residence on Friday evening, Jnly 4th, but all the same there were a great many present and all enjoyed themselves. The notorious Joe Martin came in on Saturday's C. P.R., and as- might be expected was a source of curiosity to many. He was here in connection with the suit between the Noble Five and Last Chance mines. If the city council don't soon ^repair the road just above the. school, the papers will have the funerals of a team, man and wagon to record some of these days. The road is about gone down the the hill, and a fall of 20 feet is at any time possible. Steve Bailey, at one time part owner of the Payne, must have been successful in the hotel business at Seattle, when . be can head the; reward list offering . $500 for the arrest of Tracy. They may arrest his dead body, bat they will hardly take him alive. : Some people were surprised to-see the flag up on the city ballon the 4th, ; and more still to see the waving of one jthesame day, over the roof of Squire Loyfttt's. 'In the latter case, however, ' -it:was not intended. The aquire put ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ his flag up.for thefirst, and left the.city the next day' forgetting to take down hieemblem, : A... deaf .parson - had ^a,., .number, of : friends at dinner dne day. Towards the finish of the. meal one of tbeguesta remarked that the year had been a very severe one on thelegal profession, as during the past six months no lesa than a dozen of the best lawyers of the - country had died. ; At: this the clergy^ man-'thought it was time, .to .return thanks and said, "We return thanks forthis and other biessings.M Mrs. H. Nash came in on Saturday from her visit to New Denver. The Kootenay country is now shipping stawberries to Winnipeg. John Keen, of Kaslo, was in the city this week on business in connection with some of the mines; Mr. C. Cliffe and Herbie left for Toronto and Ottawa on Thursday. They will return in about two weeks time. G. P. Potter and T. K. McBroom, of Spokane, are here inspecting the Blue Bird mine, which tbey recently bonded. A. W.McCune, jr., whose father was at one time a large owner in the Payne; and who is still a shareholder in it, is in the city on a few days' visit. This is the glorious 12th, and Squire Lovatt IB in high-feather on his way to Nelson with the yellow jackets. In fact it is a ease of "Birds of a feather flock together. Harry Rosewarren, a man who had been around the Slocan as a miner, for some years,'died in the hospital here on Tuesday night of consumption.- As far as he knew he had no. relatives in America. Michael Hayes, well known in the Kootenay aBd Boundary districts, died on Sunday at J. Lynch's ranch on the Colville Indian reservation :near Midway.: He was one'ol the pioneers of the Slocan. Mr. and Mrs. Robt. Jalland left on Thursday morning for Edmonton, where they willreside in thefuture. -He" will probably go farming somewhere in that district. Thos. Jalland has taken over the brother's grocery business. .; Breaks have taken place in both the main line and the Crows Nest branch east, of Kootenay that have delayed traffic some what. That on the main, is all but repaired, while a week will I elapse before the other branch is in full operation. r Rev. W. J. Sipprel, B.A., B, D., principal of Columbian college, delivered a lecture on '"Life in the Sunny South," aa his topic, in the Methodist church on Thursday evening. He presented stereopticon views showing scones of the south and the far fauied Mississippi river. We have heard of the names of Alex. Crawford and Geo. Lovatt tofill the vacancies in the council. For aldermen they, are two of the best men in the place, and with their large Interests, would make excellent officials."It requires some one there to hold down, the one man power now in vogue. The Miners' union, not as a union, but through a number of its members, are circulating a petition to the government urging clemency for McAdams. A naari-wbose word can be relied on says he saw a letter from one union man to another Baying- ^"we will let: the judges see they.cannot run thecountry." The murderer of President McKinley could not have aaid worae than this; Mr. Garde, of the Payne, went to the Halcyon Springs on Saturday. A laige number of Dominion Express Company officials passed through here for the Lardo section. It is the company's intention to open : offices in that district. We are told by the mouth up the gulch that after the city council eilia.ll have collected all back taxes; the city will be on a cash basis. This is like the answer, of the boy who was fishing, when asked how many nsh -he had caught and replied, "When I get 'this and another I wiil have two." One would think from the delight, of the mouth that it was the present council who created the back taxes before 1900 as an;_asset of the city. Most people knew they were there a year and a half ago and only required collection thenaa now to be so much cash. Hotel Reeo Arrivals. :John Patterson, G.N. Gilchrist, J. C. Carruthes, Nelson; A.

During the month of April the Whitewater mine cleared a profit of $2,800. The Ruth sawmill haa been in operation the past week cutting timber for the mine. Foley and Grant report having six inches of ore in a claim they have near the Idaho mine. They are still working on it in carbonates. The shareholders will be pleased to hear that the Wonderful is paying a royalty of 10 per cent on ore taken out of the mine. Two cars being shipped to the smelter. Wm. Bennett and Geo. Clark are going to commence development oh the Good Hope just above Cody in a few days. They think they have something there that will be worth considerable later on. For the first time in a great many years, the Noble Five mine is starting to work. This week they let some contracts, and the probabilities are that considerable work will be done before the seasonis over. Macdonald and Robs and J. Ryan hayea lease on the Northern Belle, at the other side of the Payne.-' They sent up supplies this week: to the two, or three men they have at work. Some years ago this property shipped considerable ore, and the present showing is said to be very favorable. One of the bigges^trikes eyer recorded in the district was made at the Monitor-mine near Three Forks the other day. In No. 5, the lowest tunnel, some days ago they~"~ had but three inches of pre,and after drifting 20 feet this body widened to three feet, and the end is not yet, the body in ay be larger. E. M. Sandilands started Tuesday evening to go up to the Blue Bird mine wherehehas two or three men :, working, but, found the slides had so broken up the trail that his horse could not make the way, and he had to return. Two additoh men were since sent to the mine.
