Wednesday afternoon shortly after the arrival of the steamer W.

The particulars as to the boat's dimensions, tonnage and build have before been given. She is a'flyer, of the first water; 160 feet in length and 30 teet beam.; Her launching was witnessed by several O.P.R. officials, among them Capt. Troup and Engineer Perry, and a large party from Nevv Denver and Slocan City, who made the trip on the Hunter for the purpose of witnessing the event. It was yevy successful and was a sight well worth going to see, the boar, sliding off the skids into the placid waters; of the lake as gracefully as a duck aiighting.

Of Isei rolling rapidly, But Linden saw another sight, When the drum beat at the dead of night, Commanding fire of death to light The darkness of her scenery. By torch and trumpet fast arrayed, Each horseman drew his battle-blade, And furious every charger neighed, To join the dreadful revelry. Then shook the hills with thunder riven. Then rushed the steed to battle driven, And louder than the bolts of heaven Far flashed the red artillery. But redder yet that light shall glow On Linden's hills of stained snow, .. And bloodier vet the torrent flow Of Iser, rolling rapidly.

A Writer in Money and Risks lias the Following to say Anout Stock Companies. \"Provision should be made that Directors shall be liable for Company debts in excess of the actual cash capital; that their acts shall be void be-, yond the year for which they shall be appointed; for any issue of bonds or lrypothe.es'iri excess of two thirds of the actual cash capital with other provisions in the Stock Corporation law of New York. The liability of the directors for false statements in prospectuses and advertisements is probably as extensive as necessai y,although there is some difference of opinion on this subject. As a general rule the so-called mining expert is in cases of mis-representation the chief wrong-doer. This evil will, it is hoped, diihinish with the in crease in numbers and respectability of the profession of mining engineers. The directors are used as a means of luring ignorant shareholders. The engineering profession owe it to themselves and to the best interests of the country, that they shall have a registered membership. The expert's report protects the director who uses in, but who protects the shareholder and director against the expert ? The latter is the party who is assumed to know, and his professional fee is sometimes intended to guaranteed that he does know; It is quite right the fee should bear some relation to the responsibility, but then the responsibility should not be impecunious. Some guarantee should be afforded that the report on a mine is made by a competent expert, or the fact if otherwise should plainly appear. If directors will -stake their reputation and base their confidence on the reports of experts who have no solid reputation or decent bank balance, should they not, who ought to have inquired into the truth of their companies prospectus, suffer rather than share-) holders ? I repeat that in the majority of cases of; fraudulent prospectus I believe the directors have been deceived, and that there are forces in operation which will soon rid us of the \"arch-enemy of mining enterprise. Our universities are giving us a yearly generation of competent experts whose reports will be found reliable. We shall ere long have a registered body of mining engineers, jealous for the reputation and honor of a learned and noble profession, from whose lists will be struck off any one found guilty of unprofessional conduct. Buckley, commenting on the\" English act, of which the Ontario Directors Liability Act is a copy, says that \"if the competent expert was fraudulent and his report false he will escape so far as the act is concerned. The remedy will be under the law as it exists outside of this statute,by which any person is liable for untrue s atements upon which another has acted to his damage.\" The attention of the Minister of Justice might be dircted to the necessity for criminal legislation as a means for preventing the operating of pre tending or fraudulent experts. The subject i\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD one which I submit should have the consideration of the profession of mining engineers. The number of yeais for which mining companies shall hold their charter .requires amending legislation. It will greatly nromote investment if in ordinary eases charters shall be granted for 10 or 12 vears only, provision being made for a simple form of renewal for a longer or shorter tenn.as circumstances may require. In cases where the property has not been developed or the mine closed for a period of of five or seven years, the property should revert to the Crown to he sold,the proceeds to be distributed among shareholders. Where companies obtain land from private owners they should be required to convey to the Crown and take from it a title subject to reversion. The law of Ontario respecting winding up Companies leaves little to be. desired except that some Of its provisions might be simplified. In addition to the grounds of winding up it should be a term of the charter of mining companies,that they shall be wound up at the expiration of two years il unable to pay a yearly dividend of four per centron paid up capital, unless three fourths in value of the shareholders by resolution vote for continuing work one year longer; but in the even t that three years shall'have passed without such a dividend the rule shall be \"cut it down, why emn- bereth it the ground ?\" The reverter of property to a vendor who has sold in 'fei in the case of a company .becoming defunct, should be taken away, and the property should revert to the Crown. These documents should not contain the minimum of information with the maximum of en- graver.s decoration, but should inform the shareholder in a concise manner what are his rights J under the charter. As for example j among other things, that on petition of 10 per cent, of the treasury stock the holders may obtain an examination of the accounts if refused by the company ; also that in the event of a sale of the property by a majority-of the stockholders the holders of a minority of the stock may require the value of their shares to be ascertained by arbitration; with other matters which should be endorsed on the certificate or appear on its face. Companies incorporated in any of the Dominion Provinces other than that in which they carry on business, and all foreign companies should be allowed to acquire mining property anywhere in Canada (subject to the preceding clause regarding duration of title) upon registration of their charters, with a list of shareholders and statement of paid-up capital, assets and liabilities, in the Provincial Mines Department or Bureau ; subject always in the cese of foreign companies to their con formity to the law relating to \" accounts\" and audit, as if incorporated in this country. The power to bond or mortgage. under the Ontario Act is extraordinary. It is limited only by the vote of two-thirds in value of the shareholders present in meeting called for the purpose, not by the vote or written consent of the owners of two-thirds of the stock as is the case in New York. The limit at which bonds, debentures or other securities of an Ontario company may be sold is \"atsuch prices as may be deemed expedi ent or necessary.\" In New York the bond or mortgage must not exceed the paid-up capital or if the;-property of the company is greater, then two-thirds of the value of such property, with this safe-guard that directors are made personally liable for bonding the company's property beyond the lawful limit. Our own Dominion Act limits the power to hypothecate to 75 per cent, of the actual stock. It is difficult to find a rea?on for the difference between the Dominion and Ontario Joint Stock Acts in this respect as well as for the difference between them in this, that the Domin- Act requires 10 per cent, of half the capital stock to be paid before grant of a charter, while the Ontai io Act has no such provision. ,For the protection and security of lenders, provisions respecting mining companies' mortgages, similar to those under the railway cei of 1888, are required. Under this, authority will be given the trustee of the mortgage to appoint a receiver of a mining company with power to run the concern or sell it, as circumstances may warrant. It is obvious that in mining districts a magistrate'should have power to direct the audit of accounts on petition, and to direct the management of mines by a receiver at the instance of mortgagees, and with other functions. An ad ministrator of mines would be the executive of such judge or magistrate. He should give security for the faithful performance of his duties. Officers capable to audit mining companies' accounts, and to direct the financial management of mining affairs in case of defaulting companies would beyond question, be of graat service to debtor concerns as well as to their creditors. There is a useful provision of the New York code, (hat a shareholder may, by paying a contribution to the mortgage debt in proportion to his stock, be subrogated pro tanto to the rights of the mortgagee.

The football fever has broken out in the Slocan. ________ In Canada, recent arrivals from the United States are known by the habit they have of putting two cent stamps upon sealed letters. Flaring advertisements of cheap mining- stock are pinching out in the eastern press. Probably the editors have no more room to store away any more glitteringly beautiful stock certificates. ' The Great Ibex of Slocan drama is still on the boards in the east. The price ot admission was to be raised this week^ The stockholders would prefer to see more ore raised and less money spent upon enchanting views of mountain scenery. For the benefit of eastern exchanges and those published in the fish canning and agricultural districts ot the west we would remark that the surname of this paper is The Ledge, and not Ledger as so many outsiders will persist in advertising it. The threatened alien law in reference to mineral claims in B. C. has passed away and in the opinion of many it is better that it should be so. While we deplore the fact that Canadians are so harshly treated by the pinhead politicians of the United States, we would rather see Canada all alienised than one individual made a citizen by compulsion. Heinze's little railroad- between Trail and Rossland does a very large passenger business. The steep grade and heavy loads make it slow climbing for the little locomotives, and the fact is not overlooked by some people who always delight in beating a railroad. Occasionally, as the conductor is working his way to the rear of the train, smart travellers will jump off, ran ahead and clamber up on the forward coach to avoid paying their fare. We have not been an eye witness to the fact but travellers in the Slocan vouch for the veracity of the I emotion, told how wicked it was to do business on Sunday. We have known' the same gospel spouter to buy mining stock on the Sabbath because he could make'a few dollars on it. - Verily, beloved' reader, that is what we call dealing a brace game against the Supreme Power of the universe. ______ The world is full of strange things. A clerical gentleman in the east recently wrote to a Sandon man, and told him that his deceased parents were widely separated. While his mother was in heaven, his unfortunate father was in hell, but, for $150 the reverend gentleman would guarantee to get his pa through purgatory and into that pleasant place where the band eternally plays, without salary, and the streets are paved with the yellow metal. The man in Sandon could not see the matter in the same light as the sky pilot, and wrote to him as follows: \"Reverend Sir: My father was a good rustler and it he cannot pack his blankets out of hell without my assistance, he will have to* remain in that warm but much detested local ifcy \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\"_______.______ A big stock of Gents', Furnishings, Hats, Boots & Shoes, Carpets,- Art Squares, Mats, Blankets white and grey, Feather Pillows, ready made Sheets' and Pillow Cases, Mirrors, Toilet Sets, Hotel Glassware and Stoves at Bourne Bros. / Capital (all paid up) $12,000,000.00 Reserved fund : : 6,000,000.00 Undivided profits : : 859,698.40 Sir Donald A.

ORPHAN BOY CASE The Courts Will Probably Decide Some Points Connected Therewith The Orphan Boy Mining Company deal or swindle, as it looks like, is likely to go before the courts and it will be an important one iii the particular that from the decision will be got in a'j probability a finding on tbe position of shareholders in a mining company. It appears that Whitney, the provisional secretary, came to Ross land before the company was officially organized, got stock certificates and a seal and proceeded to issue stock. On these his own name appeared as secretary and J. B. Haskins as president, the latter claiming that such signature was a forgery. Whitney was assigned about 170,000 shares of which lie sold 40,0Oo .in Rossland. Haskins went to Vancouver and it is believed there sold considerable of his own stock at a much lower figure than was asked for the treasury stock. Work was carried on at the mine,to do which it appears, that Mrs. Haskins advanced the money taking a mortgage which was afterwards foreclosed,\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDresulting in the sale of the mineral claim to C.N. Davidson for $6,50n. The questionable part'of of the affair is that Haskins held about 240,000 shares and it seems to be very peculiar .that he should foreclose to secure to Mrs. Haskins about $2,500, whereas if the mine were worked his shares would easily have ten or twenty times that value. There was enough ore on the dump to warrant the local bauk in advanc ing the company money enough to pay off the mortgage had such a procedure been taken. Haskins is in the position that if he is in with Mr. Davidson, who bought the property,he is a knave, if he is not he has been very foolish. Some of the shareh'llers, among them H. N. Coursier, who stands to lo-e considerable money, has taken the initiative with the intention of sifting matters to the bottom. Upwards of \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD60 has been subscribed in Rossland to light the case. This sum has been deposited in tbe Bank of Montreal subject to the order of Mr. Coursier, he acting for Rossland and Trail shareholders. Legal action will be started to set aside the sale under mortgage, and to ascertain whether the shareholders still retain an interest in the mine in the proportion that what is left after paying the mortgage bears to the amount of the mortgage, and probably the question of the liability oi\" the shareholders will come up. Whether innocent purchasers of stock from a shareholder lias any recourse against the company may also enter into the matter when before the courts. Several residents of Revelstoke, not directly interested in the property, are doing there best to see that justice is done to all, as for.a swindle, sach as this is thought to be, to be carried.through successfully, is going to hurt the town and its ft mining interests, and not only Revelstoke but the whole Kootenay district. If any shareholders who have not taken action yet feci disposed to do so it would be best for them \"to communicate with .Mr. Coursier.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDRosslander.

Why Grant N\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDver Swore General Horace Porter in his Campaigning With Grant in the May Century, says : While sitting with hint at the camp-tire late one night, alter every, one else had gone to bed, I said to him :\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDGeneral, it seems singular that you have gone all through the rough and tumble of army service and frontier Hie. aud have never been provoked into swearing. I have never heard you utter an oath or use an imprecation. Well, somehow or other, I never learned to swear, he replied. When a boy I seemed to have an aversion to it, and when 1 became a man I saw the folly of it. 1 have always noticed, too, that SAvearing helps to rouse a man's auger; and when a man flies into a passion his adversary who keeps r-ool always gets the better of him in fact, I could never see the use of swearing. I think it is the case with many people who swear excessively that it is a mere habit, and that they do not mean to be profane; but to say the .least, it is a great waste of time, His example in this respect was once quoted in .my hearing by a member of the Christian com mission to a teamster in the nrinv of tlio Potomac. at NEW DENVER, or REVELSTOKE.

With the finding of gold in British Columbia and Algoma came the mining boom, and with; it or right after it, comes the usual real estate boom' Of rather, town lot boom. It is a feature of all booms in America that nGMratter what booms town, lots come in for a share, and if they have no tangible excuse for appearing on the market to tempt the innocent investor, an imaginary one is always provided.. Out in Rossland we hear of the value to which town lots have risen. Lots that a few monthsago were worth only a few dollars are now worth thousands. It might be better to say that they are selling for thousands, for when the surroundings are taken into consideration by anyone who has not caught the boom fever it is evident they are not worth anything like so much money. Ask a Rossland man what similar lots in towns of similar size in Ontario would be worth and he w.'Jl say. \"But look how the town is going to grow. We'll have 15,000 people here this summer.\" And in his own smooth way he'll go on to show you how it is that you have a chance to hiake money while you are paying the price the property is worth if the fondest hopes of the Rosslanders are realised. But Toronto people are more liable to be affected hy the town booms nearer home. In the Rainy River district the rieh finds of gold have not enriched the entire population. New towns are springing up platted for the accommodation of thousands of population. Lots from these and \"additions\" to them are even now being \"offered for sale and sold in the city, To people who have never visited mining fields and who hear of the crowds rushing in, it looks I as If villages must spring up like mushrooms, villages gi ow to towns and towns to cities with almost lightning speed. Some of them do. And it is also true that imny of them die away again just as fast, leaving the town lots on the hands of unlucky investors till they realise that the tax col lector is the only man that can sell them. Puget Sound had a town lot boom a few years ago, and the whole country suddenly grew rich\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD oh paper. Towns were platted out on every piece of water that could be twisted by vivid imagina* Hon into \"tbe greatest harboi in the world \" Transcontinental railways were coming, and every city was to be a terminus. Millionaires got so thick that you. couldn't walk down a back street without bumping up against one. Some of the towns grew big, too, while others never left the paper on .which they had been outlined. Fine ig,u the.. public buildings and magnificent hotels were erected. ..People pointed to them and said, \"-You can't tell us this is a boom. These things are permanent.' ' And they proved permanent\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDpermanent monuments of boom folly, ofburied riches, and of blasted hopes. The people in those towns now, Seattle and Tacoma among the rest, are principally those who are so tied down that thev can't get away, and they are weariug themselves thin trying to pay taxes and interest on mortgages. Their harbors, their climate and their seen ery_ they still have, but money they have not, and their is a sense of dreariness\".over the entire country. If Jim Wardner. who has just been in tlie city, would talk, he could tell a whole lot about town lot boom*. Jim was one of a party, who boomed Fairhaven, Wash. There was no excuse for Fairhaven's existence. The town of New Whatcom, just around tlie corner of Bellingham Bay, was big enough and to spare for all heeds of the country when the busy real estate rustles bought a ranch and mapped out a city. They had money and they started to build hotels and business blocks. By clever working the report spread that Fairhaven was to be the real terminus of the Great Northern, then building over JJthe Cascade Mountains, and that Jim Hill was largely interested in the townsite Then things started to hum. Buildings went up on all sides, an electric railway was built, sewers and water works were put in, streets were planked and a few months saw Fairhaven a lively, up-to-date city of five thousand people. City property, of course, went up to fabulous prices, additions were platted out on all sides, and lots were sold so high up on the Ohuckanot Mountain that an aerial railway Would be necessary to reach them. But though the railway reached Fairhaven, it failed to establish that much vaunted and little understood terminus; then gradually tu;e boom died, and though the fine hotels and brick blocks are there, one cannot walk down the streets of the once lively city without iuvoluntariiy thinking of Goldsmith's '\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD Deserted Village.\" The success of these larger schemes encouraged dozens of smaller ones. Cheaper lots had to be provided for people with smaller means for everyone must own a lot or two in some embryo city and he puts more faith in those lots than iii his Bible. Every ^conceivable townsite budded a town\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDand the townsite is still there while there is enough second-hand electric railway stock lying loose around the Puget Sound country to put a belt line around it. The millionaires also have by this time, made settlements with their creditors and are endeavouring to start again on a less pretenHons scale. The sheriffs of the different counties are the principal holders of town lots. And now something of a similar nature threatens to break out in Ontario, though, it is to be hoped, hot on so large a scale. Such thing.-i will sprout on Canadian soil\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDWinnipeg has proven that Rat Portage is boasHng herself a mining; centre and a coming great city, rents have established neighborly relations with the clouds and of course the festive town lot will keep them company. From further out in the woods come re- S>rts of the wonderful growth Of Wabigoon, inworic, Mine Centre and other coming cities. That these places have resources aud reasonable excuse for existence no one will deny. But when the townsite owners plat out cities ior \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD30,000 inhabitants, as they have in at least one instance, and outside operators put additions: to this and place iheir lots on sale it begins to look as if the development of the country and supplying the needs of the miners were not the only objects the disinterested townsite owners aforesaid had in v.ew. Of course the people of Toronto have had some experience with real estate booms and may not be so easily caught as they were and are with mining stocks but\" booms w hen once fairly started have a woniderfill; faculty of washing away; past re; membrarices arid making people live in the present or rather the iuture. The promised attempt at booming towns in the Ontario mining fields may not amout to much, and for the good of that country as well as the pockets of people nearer home it is hoped it will not, but if it once gets fairly started it is safe to predict that victims will not fie wanting.
