In 1901 G. F. Ransom\nlocated the Belleview fraction, also\non Payne mountain, lying between\nBig Timber, Emporium and other\ncrown granted claims, and in 1902\nhe applied for a certificate of improvements. Snyder and Selous in\nthe meantime bad surveyed what\nthej' alleged to be the Parrot\nground, and also applied for a certificate of improvements.\nThe Parrot claim, as surveyed,\ncovered practically the entire Belle-\nview ground, so the Parrot owners\nadversed the application of Ransom, with whom Garde and Jones\nhad become interested. Then in\nJanuary, 1903, the Belleview was\nreioTcatecrlfvW\nNo, 2, and by him transferred to\nRansom et al., who then adversed\nthe Parrot application, relying on\nboth the Redress and Belleview locations.\nTlie chief contention of the Random people was that the Parrot,\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\u00E2\u0080\u00A2\u00E2\u0080\u00A2hum as surveyed was not the\nsame as the Parrot ground as located, and in this they were supported by the judge, who found\nthat the Parrot location stakes had\nbeen removed from their original\nplaces before the survey was mad\".\nThe judge also held the Belleview location invalid for want of\nblazing, but held that the Redress\nNo. 2 was a proper location, and\nas this was owned by Ransom.\nGarde and Jones, they got judgment, voiding the Parrot claim,\nwith cost?.\n.uidon news gropptogs\nGOLD UAS DErTH.\nThose individuals who talk about\ngold mines not being operated to as\ngreat depth as copper propositions\nwould find it instructive to study\nthe Congress mine, in Arizona.\nThe Congress has been an excellent\nproducer for many years, and on\nthe dip of the vein, the-lower workings are said to be from 3,500 to\n3,600 feet below the surface. Mineralization of gold-bearing quartz\nseems to have sufficient depth\nthere for the ordinary investor.\nSII.VKU-I.EAD QUOTATIONS.\nOcOirsirver; 85rxsa7\u00C2\u00A3ii ssScf\nOct, 30 Silver, 60\" Lead, .\u00C2\u00A311 5s\nOct. 31 Silver. 59ff Lead, \u00C2\u00A311 5s\nNov. 2 Silver, 59i Lead, \u00C2\u00A311 5s\nNov. 3 Silver, \" Lead, \u00C2\u00A3\nNov. 4 Silver, 59\u00C2\u00A3 Lead, \u00C2\u00A311 5a\nBmKhQUSE PHILOSOPHY\nBy thc Editor ^^^^^^^j^^:^:^^\nSpuds.\u00E2\u0080\u0094\"Say, Kaiser, phat does yez think of Chamberlain's\npolicy?\"\nKaiser's Ghost laid down the chunk of liinbiirger he was munching, took tho cotton batting out of his nose, and remarked:\n\"Veil, poys, I dond know much ahotid Joe Chamberlain, but if\nhe can build a tariff fence in frond of everyding excepd der British\ncolonies, I dinks ve get em all in our sack.

Mr. Houston returned to Nelson on Sunday night. He\nconsulted with his friends, but refused to make any statement\nfor publication, after seeing how unfairly a brief statement he\nhad made to a Vancouver World reporter had been mangled.\nHe stated to his friends the reasons given ,)>y premier McBride\nfor his being turned down, and until McBride's statement could\nbe verified by thc lieutenant-governor, himself, he or they could\nnot do anything. On Tuesday morning Mr. Houston received\nthe letter from the lieutenant-governor, which is printed elsewhere, aud his friends acted promptly. His campaign committee to the number of over forty niet on Tuesday night. William\nIrvine occupied the chair and stated the objpet of the meeting.\nA number of speeches were made and the following resolutions\nwere passed unanimously: .\nResolved, that we have the fullest confidence in\nJohn Houston, the member for Nelson City, and\nwe give him a free hand to act as he deems best, ,\nbelieving he has been most unfairly treated by\nthe lieutenant-governor, and that premier McBride\nis censurable for allowing the lieutenant-governor\nto usurp his (McBride's) constitutional rights.\nFurther resolved, that the mayor be requested \u00E2\u0080\u00A2\nto call a public meeting at the opera house on\nThursday night, in order that the people of Nelson shall have an opportunity of giving expression\nto their views on the action of the lieutenant-governor iu objecting to John Houston becoming a\nmember of the government of British Columbia.\nResolved, that these resolutions be wired to\npremier McBride.\nThe next day a well-signed requisition was presented mayor\nthe governor. Before leaving he told me\nto remain at his oflice until he returned.\nOn his rein rn, he said the governor had\nintminted that he must till his cabinet;\nthia lie intended doing so, aud that he\nwor.ld immediately ask for the resignations of McPhillips and Goodeve. Before\nclosing the interview he saiiV: \"I will lay\nmy full programme before the governor\ntomorrow forenoon, and put an end to the\nuncertainty that now exists.\"\nThe next day at one o'clock I called on\nthe premier at his office. Ho said: \"I\nsubmitted your name this morning to the\ngovernor, and he did not approve of your\nbecoming a member of-the government.\"\nI asked if he had given any reason, aud\nMcBride said, ' 'No.'' I then said I would\ngo home, resign my seat, and leave the\nprovince, for if I was not fit, to associate\nwith him (McBride) I was not* fit to associate with decent men. McBride's one\nconcern seemed to be, what would become\nof him ami his government, as my resignation would mean its defeat. He said:\n\"Don't resign, and at the end of the session I may be able to get yon in the government.\" This appeared so ridiculous a\nstatement that I left liis oflice, and\nhaven't seen McBride since.\nAt first 1 lelt as 1 imagine a man must\nfeel on being released from serving a term\niu a penitentiary. 1 felt as if 1 could not\nlook decent men in the face, imagining\ntliey knew of my disgrace. However,\ntliat* feeling did not last. I am not a\n(Sliristinii. When Mnpped'on one cheek I\ndu not turn ihe olltci'tiibeslapped. When\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2'slapped, 1 do my best to reach the other\nfellow's face. I did not know whether\nA\" e* Bride had told mo the truth, and to\nfind nut 1 wrote the following letter to\ntlie lieutenant-governor:\nThk DuiAisi) HoTKt..\nVktouia, October \u00E2\u0080\u00A2*>:!, 11)0*5..\nSir,\u00E2\u0080\u0094Premier McBride has just informed me tliat lie submitted my name to you\nthis morning for member of the executive\ncouncil, and that you objected to me being\na member of his government. If it is not\nasking too much, I would like to know if\nI have been told the truth. If it is the\ntruth, then the people of the city of Nelson liave been slapped in the face, aud I\nwill be compelled to leave British Columbia, for if I am unworthy to administer a\ndepartment of the provincial government,\nI am equally unworthy of sitting as a\nmember of the legislature. Tlie people of\nNelson have honored me three times by\nelecting me mayor, and twice by electing\nme to the legislature, bnt I am ashamed\ntoday to hold my head up on the street.\nMy address is Nelson, B.O.

I objected on account of the unfortunate incident of last session when\nyou forgot what* was duo to tlie legislative\nassembly as well as to yom-self in youri-e-\n.sponsible^poMtioAi; Thero was no inten-\nRose, and he in accordance with the requisition called a public\nmeeting for Thursday night, the notice appearing in the Nelson\nDaily News. No other notice of the meeting was given and no\neffort was made to bring out a crowd. On Thursday night between 400 and 500 people assembled in the opera house. Mayor\nRose called the meeting to order, and stated liis reasons for\ncalling the meeting. He then asked Mr. Houston, who was in\nthe audience, to take the platform, which he did, receiving most\nhearty applause as he did so. He said:\nMr. Mayor and Fellow-Citizens: It is\nnot long sjneo tho two political parties in\nthis province had n more or less healed\ncampaign for supremacy, and one of tlie\nresultH of the campaign was my election\nturn ropresentntivo iu tlie legislative assembly for Nelson.

I may\nhavo called McPhillips a damned fool,\nand if I did 1 came pretty near the truth.\nThe \"unfortunate incident\" to which I\nbelieve the governor refers occurred at the\nsession before the hist. It was the occasion when I defied the speaker. It was\nsaid I was drunk at the timo, That\nstatement is not true. I v, ill admit I may\nhave had four or five good-sized jolts of\nScotch, and may have been under their influence, On ihat occasion McBride, who\nis now premier, was leader of the opposition and had the lloor. The speaker had repeatedly warned him to speak to the question under discussion, warnings which if\nmade three times required the member so\nwarned to take his seat. McBride, as was\nusual with him, paid no heed to the warnings, and the speaker, who is a good-natured old gentli inan, let things drift. 1\nraised a point of order, and after stating\nit to the speaker 1 that McBride was not\nspeaking to the question) was told that\nmy point was not well taken.

J. Deaua was called for aud he took\nthe plittforui. He started in by saying\nthat the statement made hy Mr. Houston,\nif true, proved MeBride to he a dishonorable man, one unfit to be premier of the\nprovince. He then switched and said the\npeople of Nelson would make a great mistake and would stultify themselves if they\npassed a resolution censuring the liouten-\nant-goveruor. Deane simply showed himself a partisan entirely willing to lambaste\nMeBrido by resolutions or otherwise, but\nunwilling to hurt the feelings of the lieutenant-governor, who is ii Liberal, and the\naudience seemed to be aware of it, for he\nwns not applauded when ho retired to his\nseat alongside S. S. Taylor, K. O.\nJohn Houston was then cnlled on. He\nbegan by saying thu meeting was not\n(\u00E2\u0080\u00A2ailed by partisans for party purposes. It\nwas ciilleilby the mayor of Nelson to take\naction on ii question that concerned the\npeople of Nelson, and it should be so considered. The three gentlemen who had\npcrceded him had spoken not as citizens,\nlidt as partisans, Two were Liberals and\nthey could not forget that they were of\nthat party faith. The other was said lo\nlien Conservative, of which he had his\ndoubts. All three of these gentlemen\nivmilod In appear to be men of lofty\nthought, so lofty lhat they did not expect\nto be undersliMMl by the lowly and illiterate portion of the audience. One, S. S.\nTaylor, K. ()., was a defeated Lilierul candidate, and it wax just {Missible that he\nwas now more lofty in thought and speech\nthan when, during the campaign, he was\npleading for the labor vote. He was lofty,\nbut he was a partisan. He would condemn Mclhide, a Ciniserviitive, but the\nlieutenant-governor, who is a Lilx-ml,\nshould not lie held blanieable for his lofty\naction in placing 11 stigma 011 a man whom\nthe |n*np!e of NcIhiii Imve rejicatedly honored.

If the legislature meets, I\nwill vote with the party that elected me,\nbur I will not vole in the parry to retain\nin high ollice such men as Richard McBride, who has proven himself to-be lacking in the manly qualities that the premier must have if the province is to have-\nstable government.\"\nThe applause thut was thundered out\nwlieinMr. Houston took his seat was deafening and lasted for fully live minutes.\nAt this stage of fhe proceedings S. S.\nTaylor, lv. C, arose and said that mayor\nHose had no authority to call a public\nmeeting io condemn the representative of\nthe king in the province. The mayor in\nreply to .Mr. Taylor said: \"I called this\nmeeting on being presented with a requisition asking that the meeting be called;\nthe requisition was signed by a large number of well-known citizens. My notice\ncalling the meeting contained no words\neither censuring or condemning the lieutenant-governor, as you will see if yon\nread tlie notice, Mr. Taylor. I have as\nmuch respect for constituted authority as\nany man in the audience, and I believe the\npeople of this city have the right to express approval or disapproval of the acts\nof any olticial iu the land, be they of high\nor of low degree. The wording of the resolutions before this meeting are in my\nopinion most temperate; they enter a protest against the action of one official, and\ndeplore the action of another official.\n[Applause]\na clear majority after an appeal to the\ncountry, is receiving any such intimations, and we do not think that in onr\npresent governor we have a mau who\nwould intimate in any such fashion that\nhis advisers should \"pack up and get out,\"\nas the Times so elegantly puts it, or would\nbase any intimation of the kind upon any\nsave the strictest constitutional grounds.\nWhat tlie true inwardness of the facts iu\nconnection with Mr. Houston and a portfolio is we do not know. But this we do\nknow, that the interpretation placed upon\nthese facts liy the Times is false in every\nparticular, as we said before. This we do\nknow, that wo trust Mr. McBiide and\nMr. Houston to consult the welfare of,the\ncountry and their party in everything,\nand Ave equally trust* sir Henri Joly to\nconsult the dignity of his high office, aud\nto discharge its functions judiciously and\nacceptably.\nThe Price Was Artifical.\nIn his report to the United States Geological Survey on the production of copper in 11)02, Charles Kirehoff says that the\ncopper mining industry of the United\nStates suffered during l'M2 from the reaction which followed the unsuccessful attempt during lilOl to maintain the value\nof the metal at- an art ilicial level. The relapse which came towards tlie close of\nI HOI left many producers pledged to sales\ncovering a long period, at low prices, with\nthe menace of heavy accumulittions of\nmetal over the market. Yet metal productions were heavier during 15)0:2 than it-\nhad been in li)01, because some of the important mines were worked to full capa.\ncity and because some of the enlargements\nand improvements previously begun became effective during the year. Furthermore a number of new enterprises produced important quantities of metal. On\nthe other hand accidents and labor trouble\ncut down the output of some of the larger\nundertakings.

The report\nascribes the disease to the inhalation of dust, and states that it is\nmore prevalent among rock-drillers\nthan any other class of worker-?. It\nis essential that respirators should\nbe worn by these men and that\nspecial attention be paid to the investigation of the character and\nharmful porperties of the dust in\nthe mines, mine ventilation, gases\ngiven off during blasting operations,\nmine sanitation, and the conditions\nunder which the miners live. The\ndisease is correctly known as silicosis, and is a condition of chronic\nfibrosis of the lung. The inhalation of line angular dust in the.\nmine produces enormous development of the delicate, fibrous tissue\nin the lungs. Thereupon bands\nand patches of solid useless material\ngradually encroach on the normal\nbreathing apparatus and interfere\nseriously, and eventually fatally,\nwith the respiratory functions.\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nAfrican Review.\nVolcanic action has in most, cases\nprimarily determined the configuration of the crust of the earth, but the\nchief agents in the formation of\ntortuous valleys have been streams\nflowing above ground or below the\nsurface. These naturally take the\ncourse of least resistance, dislodging tho softest soil, and thus gradually enlarge their channels and\nare flanked by rising ground.\nGold mining in Virginia began\njn_1829. The mines are situated\nsombre colors. It is true that we\nhave wept. But oh, this thread of\ngold! Let us turn off and look\nback upon its wonderous web and\nwhen it shineth sometime we shall\nknow that memory is possession.\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nJean Ingleow.\nIn love of virtue and hatred of\nvice, in the detestation of cruelty\nand encouragment of gentleness\nand mercy, all men who endeavor\nto be acceptable to their creator in\nany way, may agree. There are\nmore roads to heaven, I am inclined to think, than any sect believes; but there can be none, which\nhave not these flowers garnishing\nthe way.\u00E2\u0080\u0094Charles Dickens.\nAll civilization is but a creation,\na modification, and a re-creation of\nconscience.

The\ndiuinondiferons ground, already reported by tlie expeditions, it may\nlie noted, consisted of deposits of\nmineralized blue clay, and was\ntraced along a section of country\nfor some '25 miles, and stated by a\nprospector to be exactly similiar in\ncharacter to deposits observed during a twelve years' experience iu\nBrazil.
