The movement of ore to the west promises to be heavy. a Through the instrumentality ot R. B.

At the termination of the last session held at Nelson, Mr. Kerr broached the subject of a change to Judge Spinks and J. A. Mara, M.P., who signified their willingness to assist in the matter^ Hon. Mr. Davie, as attorney-general, was approached also, and the following letter received by Mr. Kerr, last week, from him, will show how things are* shaping towards the desired end:\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD ; ^ \"Mr. Mara lias written to me regarding a plan which you have suggested as a provisional arrangement for the conduct of County Court business, that is to say, Mr. Cornwall, the judge of Cariboo, to take Kamloops, .Revelstoke and Donald in his circuit, leaving the other places to Judge Spin ks.

Wall, Ross, Cress and McRae. The owners are considering the bond for 30 days, though the figure is a tempting one. The Richmond is on the Sandon slope and close to all the big- properties. It joins the Eureka, which claim can only be worked thoroughly through the former. The ledge is closu to 15 feet in width and in several places has been opened up, showing; uniformity of richness and size.- The ore is high grade and the property is a valuable one. Several prospecting parties have already gone into the Cariboo ei\ ek country. out. According to Judge Spinks' programme, as mapped out'by him last fall, the district would be worked in this manner. Judge Cornwall, who now has Cariboo and Lillooet, could easily assume charge of Kamloops, Revelstoke and L-onald, in addition to his present circuit, and without much extra trouble. Judge Spinks would then traverse the Okanagan, going from Midway to Rossland',' and thence to Nelson, Kaslo and New Denver, making one district instead of two/ and affording court facilities at these places every other month. Nakusp and other centres would be visited as occasion demanded, while Fort Steele, in Fast Kootenay, will be attended to yearly. 'This arrangement should meet with universal approval. Shipping- Bullion. E. Shannon staked out a couple of gold-bearing claims at the mouth of Ten Mile creek, Friday. Twelve carloads of ore were taken out on Saturday, making one of the largest trains yet moved. J. A. Finch has thrown up the bond on the Wonderful, after having expended several thousand dollars. : The ledge was struck in the lower tunnel of the Slocan Star on March 0, but they do not expect to reach ore for a week yet. The Blue Bell mine, opposite Ainsworth, yielded 5,859 tons of ore during January and February. It all }yen.t'to; Pilot Bay. Two different parties are seeking a bond on the Greenleef, a promising property just below the California, and within sight of town. Work on the Reid & Robertson, a bond upon which was thrown up by J. Al Finch last vear, will be pushed by the owners in Jul}-, or sooner if the show permits. ^The Everett smelter is drawing its supply of dry oro from Neihart, Mont. Hitherto-great difficulty was experienced'in keeping the works running' because of the scarcity of that article. They will endeavor to draw from this district also. Kaslo & Slocan Railway. After months of incessant labor the Pilot Bay smelting works have at last reached the stage of completion, and the-first shipment of bullion has been made. The shipment was made last Saturdav and consisted of two carloads of the product from stack No. 1. It was consigned to the retiring works at Aurora, III., where it will receive final treatment before being placed on the market. Manager A. B. Hendryx has made arrangements to ship a carload of bullion daily to the same works. At the smelter everything is running smoothly, the plant being in operation nig lit and day. One hundred and forty men are on the payroll, with a.'daily wage bill of upwards of 8500. Numerous properties at, Ainsworth are being onened up as a result of the smelter running. v There can be little doubt but that the Kaslo & Slocan Railway is to be built this summer, and that work will commence so soon as the construction outfit can be gotten in from Bonner's Ferry. A letter received from Foley Bros., the St. Paul contractors, asserts that they are to proceed with the work immediately. Furthermore, the officials of the proposed road approached Byron White in Kaslo last week, and asked him to make no ore contracts with the C.P.R, for next fali, as the Kaslo railway would then be in a position to quote him a very low rate to the smelters. All this certainly means something. Work-on the Roulette. Two or three men went.to work On the Roulette group, last week. The properties are on the no. thfbrkof the Carpenter, almost five miles from the Forks. The group consists of five claims and are owned bv .Messrs. Cress, Wail, McRae and Ross. It is the intention of the owners to thoroughly develop the properties. Already considerable work has been done, principally on the Roulette claim, from 'vhich the1 others can be handled. Two tunnels have been run and the vein stripped for 45 feet. The paystreak is from 12 to 18 inches wide, and assays demonstrate the ore to be very rich, running up as high as 340 ounces to the ton in silver.

BOSTOCK APPEARS. Mr. Bostock, the fig'urehead of th e Grits of Victoria and who is in the field for this constituency -against' Mr. Mara, arrived iii-. town' yesterday. Later on he gave The Ledge a friendly call. Now that we have seen him, we think a whole lot more of him -than' we did before. He is somewhat reserved in manner\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDa characteristic of the Johnny Bull.race \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDand -wears- the inevitable colored necktie, whicli is also a national failing. Mr. Bostock, warming up a little, stated that he had met, and was meeting, with considerable encouragement in his canvass. A great many of the more prominent men of the district were supporting his cause and he feels sanguine of success. At each general election t-lw. Grits have had the same fond illusion. We have not.seen Mr. Bostock's published platform, nor that-of the. Liberal-party, but we rather fancy there must be a startling discrepancy between the two. First and. foremost- he told us he was opposed to \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD that great octopus, the CP.R,, which is throttling the life out of British Columbia. (?) Then follow these choice planks:--Protection of Okanagan farmers, more development of our country, free admission of mining machinery, cancelling of subsidy to Australian boats which permits foreign farm produce to ruin our agriculturists, tariff for revenue purposes only, death to all annexation movements, British connection, subsidies to fast steamship lines and Pacific cable, grants to railway extension, improvement of canal system and repeal or gerrymander act. On the Manitoba school question Mr. Bostock touched gingerly, stating that it was not for the Liberals \"to. act.' The Patrons of Industry were, in fact, Grits\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDjust it, exactly. He was opposed to direct taxation, and maintained that : it was not possible for Canada to*haye free trade as in Eng- \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 . \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD . .. n land, because situations were different. Still, though protection did make a country prosperous to a certain stage, free trade inust inevitably follow. :;.'\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD - Q .' . a a'' '.'.' The foregoing presents a most lud - icrpus appearance,-yet Mr. Bostock will stand upon it. Of national af- fairs he is in a state of blissful,ignor- ance; he will seek to make the issues purely local, Canadians, he thinks, need educating sadly before they are \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDequal to Englishmen. He is nofr.inclined to favor bimetallism, and it makes him weary to stand treat to a barroom full of men. Mr. Bostock will feel still more weary when the returns from the polls come in. He will then find, as many a worse Grit candidate than he has discovered in the past, that the Canadian electorate cannot be hoodwinked or imposed, upon; that they are proud of their country, and that they honor and revere the memory of he who made Canada great\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDSir John A3 Macdonald. The special edition of the Prospector, containing an account of the mines ard prospects of tlie Slocan, has been issued. It was written by Ran- dall H. Kerap, and reflects credit upon him. There is more glory than collateral in these kind of publications, and the publishers are to be commended for their enterprise in the matter. The public debt, of Canada is up- wa i'ds of $240,000,030. This is more than we owe, notwithstanding the fact that we ..have published for a long time a paper \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDin West Kootenay. There is no country under the sun whose people have such marketable assets to show-for their national debt, nor-upon'whom such a burden rests more easily, than those of this fair Dominion. The: wrangle over the separate school system in 'Manitoba still goes on. It seems a difficult matter to adjust satisfactorily.' It will never be settled properly till both political par ties- in Canada cease striving for the votes of either Protestants or Eoman Catholics. At present religion interferes too much with politics in this Dominion. We see no necessity of maintaining two school systems in any country. The. school should be a place to educate the young, without teaching them religion of any kind. Th is is a free country and a 11 cl asses of children should be allowed to at: tend our educational institutions on an equal footing, and have nothing read to them that is offensive. If their parents desire to teach .them religion, let it be done at home. There is too much religion and hot enough Christianity in the people of Canada,and the soonerour politicians cease pandering to it, the sooner will harmony exist where now there is discord. , ;.,.
