The Caledonia, Libby B., Jennie and Producer, near the Galena Farm, have been stocked by a company called the Galena Farm Mining Co. The capital stock is $100,000, and the shares are being offered at par. The Hon. Wm. Pugsley, of New Brunswick, is president, and the properties of the company have a fair location but not much mineral in sight. and good workmanship won him many friends. Monday morning he excused himself from work on the C. Pi R. dock, and in company with Hugh McGillivray, went to Silverton. The bridge over Carpenter creek was washed away several days ago, and to get across they had to \"coon\" a log, Returning Campbell was in the lead and ; started to walk the log. \"When ever the most dangerous place, where the water was three or four feet deep, he lost his balance and fell in. In falling he managed to lay his hands on the log and held his head out of the water until his companion came to him. McGillivray caught trm by the coat and endeavored hard to raise him to the log, but the current was too strong: He tried next to catch him by the leg and throw it over,.but Campbell's strength was fast failing, and when McGillivray loosened his grip on his coat in trying to catch his leg, he lost his hold and in a second was dashed, against the rocks and carried down the swift current to a watery grave in the lake or under the log and debris jams in the creek.. McGillivray reported the sad accident at once and a party went to the creek to search for the body. It was not found, however, and probably never will be recovered. From letters found with his effects in the hotel, it is evident that Camp bell, while lately coming from Edmonton and Rossland; has a home in Collingwood, Ont., where his sister and relatives reside. There he owned some property and was well to do. He was a single man of 28 or 30 years of age. His sister at Coljingwood will be-notified of his death and his effects sent there. LIFE IN KASLO.

The rear trucks were also damaged and the car is now laid up for repairs at the shops. The passengers got a pretty good scare, but no one was hurt. On Saturday night Jim Yuill, a shacker,who lived across the creek started home with an armful of groceries and a load of tangle-leg. Since then he has not been heard from and it is believed he fell oil\" the foot bridge and was drowned in the creek. The sampler is now handling two to three cars of.ore a day. The Ruth is a steady shipper and the Sunset and Wqitewater are sending down some ore now. A car of very high grade stuff was shipped from the Sunset on Saturday. The steamer Ainsworth brought in five pack mules from Bonner's Ferry last week for the Whitewater. The recent strike on Adams Bros, claims up the lake proves quite up to the expectations. The ore is cube galena assaying on the surface about 50 ounces, and with depth it is found to be much liner cube and higher grade assaying as high as 850 ounces. Gus Adams shot a young black bear across the lake last week, and on Monday he got a big brute in a trap about four miles down this side. So far he-holds the record this year.

I The people of New Denver are standing in their own light by not pushing the project of good roads to Silverton and Three Forks. With ten times the number of green prospectors in the mountains, over any previous year, it is safe to predict a prosperous season for the lire fiend. The Alien Amendment. To the Editor of The Ledge: I am told that a number of people in New Denver think that the three citizens who wired a petition- against ,..' the alien amendment to the /'Mineral Act\" were taking too much upon themselves in speaking for all their \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD> tel low-citizens. - If a fire weretfo break'out in the town, the bucket brigade would not be too particular about getting the consent of the owners of the burning buildings before commencing to save their property. The enactment of Mr. Braden's alien amendment would have been a much more serious matter than the burning of every building iri West Kootenay. It was sprung upon the legislature in the last few days of the session, and rushed through committee before the public knew what was going on. It was also a matter of life and death to get it stopped by any means. A well known newspaper man from the coast told fe me that telegrams against it were pouring in from every part of the Province, arid we thought it very important that the capital of the principal mining division in the Province should join in the protest. The only people who have a good word to say for Mr. Braden's amendment are those who have not read it. He proposed that no free miners certificate should be issued in fnture except to British subjects, and those who had declared their intention of becoming such. The effect of that would be to prevent any alie.i renewing his free miner's certificate when it ran out. Under that clause every alien would have lpst all his mining interests in the country, except such claims as were crown granted. Some of the best properties in Kootenay, belonging to theoldest pioneer, would have been forfeited. In the United States such a law, depriving peaceable individuals of their property, would be unconstitutional, but there is nothing- in the constitution of Canada to prevent such a piece of legislative madness taking its full effect. Mr. Braden's proposed law would have been a glaring violation of the law of nations. To induce the citizens of a foreign state to settle and acquire property in a country, and then to jump on them and confiscate what, they have acquired, is an act of war against the nation whose citizens are so treated. While the government of British Columbia was busy providing soup kitchens for the unemployed, the government of Great Britrin would have had a nice picnic settling claims for compensation by the different governments whose subjects had been used in .such a fashion. Of course things could never have come to such a pass, because the Act would have been disallowed by the Governor-General too quickly to let it do much mischief. But it would have given British Columbia a splendid advertisement, although not exactly of the sort which most communities care to have. Nothing is more timid and cautious than capital in large money centres, and for a good many years capital would have shunned this Province as a cat avoids water. Supported by the pressure of public opinion all over British Columbia, Mr. Hume was enabled to get the Braden amendment reconsidered, and rejected by a majority of one.

THE PROTECTION OF THE FOREST IN THE MINERAL BELT. By J. Bawdex, Kingston. The i frequent references to forest fires in the reports-of our geological explorers, and the known destruction of extensive areas of timber land through the carelessness of mining prospectors, print to the importance lof safe-guards for the preservation of the forest-1'from'-'wasteful' and wide spread destruction, and show the neces&ity that such should engage the attention of the government at this time. It is important that every prospector should not have only the protection of a miner-'s license-, but, it is also important fiat the right to traverse the public lands for pur- pjsesof private gain, shall carry with it responsibility for the use of fuel for the camp fire in a careful manner. The mining prospector should be required on taking out a license to enter into a bond to observe rules respecting the use of fire for cooking purposes. Rangers should be placed at different parts of the mineral district with authority to arrest prospectors and travellers not iri possession of miner's licenses. The value of forest fuel to the working miner is of immense importance. The mining community will hail with satisfaction any efforts on the part of the government to protect the natural fuel supply from the destruction which in variably follows the careless use of camp-fires in the dry season. It is scarcely necessary to refer to the great forest fires in the mining regions of Minnesota, whnh ended in the destruction of mining camps and lumbering towns* attended with loss of life, as a warning that similar results may be looked for in the Rainy River District. The companies, which are about to erect valuable mills will, he well advised to urge upon the government the im- pnrtance of strict legislation for the- preservation of the forest. \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD .. \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD.. f In British Columbia it is within i'fcasohablie I probabili'y thi t the i nmense forest wealth of that great province>swill;he swept away byjforest fires \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDfollowing as a necessary consequence the careless work of ^explorers.\"'; Whether the.mineral riches of individuals may he advantageously purchased at the expense of tne destruction of forest wealth is a question about which publicists and politici ans will differ. There is no reason why the advantages of mineral development should be purchased at such enormous cost, as the history of the destruction of immense forest wealth in California and elsewhere would warrant us to expect in British Columbia. The destruction Of the light timber and soil of a mineral range may perhaps expose mineral wealth which otherwise would lie unknown for ages. There is a certain degree of temptation before the unwatched prospector who, contemplates the cheaply won gain which a forest fire may reveal. The danger which follows from converting a good servant into a bad master will hardly wain a reckless prospector. It is to be hoped, however, that the public and the Crown Lands Department, will not a'low him to try conclusions in such reckless 1 ashion that the holocaust of art entire forest region, with many crisply burned human victims, may be among the sad consequences.

J - A Mining' Camp Incident. For weeks and weeks Tom Sheppard had- been a sick man at our mining^ camp at Black Bear Valley. Everybody felt Sony for him, and yet a sick man in a mining camp is a great inconvenience and a burden. One day.\" Judge Watkins went up to see him, and after finding him no better and no worse than he had- been for many weeks he said: Tom, I don't want to seem cold hearted about this thing, but the boys are beginning to wonder why you don't die or get well. Yes, reckon they are, replied Tom, and you kin tell'em I'm goin'to die. Do you feel it's fur the best, Tom ? I do*. I ain't got much to live fur and might as well peg out now as other time.-- I've been waitin' fur a week er two. Waitin'! Fur what? Fur to die decently, I'm no lord or duke, but I want things fixed up in good shape. I want to be washed up, shaved, have my hair cut and git into some decent duds, and I won't die till I do. The Judge told the boys what was required.and that aftetnoon two or three of 'em knocked off work and fixed Tom up. A shirt was borrowed of one, a coat of another, a vest of another and bv-and-by the sick man was rigged out in the best the camp afforded. When all this had been done he said\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDNow, then^1 feel more like dyin', but there's one more thing I want, I want Jo e Billings to come up with his fiddle and play me a few tunes. Joe was sent for and after considerable .kicking he got his fiddle and went up to Tom's shanty. Tom was propped up in bed and waiting, and Joe suit down'ana gave him the Old Oaken Bucket, Old Folks .at.. Home, Nellie Gray and? half-a- dozen other well-known airs. He had been-play-, ing for an hour, his eyes on the hill opposite.when Judge Watkins looked in and said: Cut it off, Joe-^Tom's dead! And.so he was, and when the boys came to observe the pleased and contented look on his face they were agreed that he had died decently and been given a fair start on his way. \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDLouisville Comior-.fournfll.
