The paper was subsequently published as the Ledge both in New Denver, from December 1894 to December 1904, and in Fernie, from January to August 1905. The Ledge was published by Robert Thornton Lowery, a prolific newspaper publisher, editor, and printer who was also widely acclaimed for his skill as a writer.

From al 1\nsections where lead mines are being\ndeveloped, * words ' of cheer are\nheard, and there is no doubt that\nmines which have in recent years\nbeen operated only in the development stage, will in a short time be\nthrown open and ore turned out at\ntheir full capacity.\n, Senator. Turner,* principal owner\nof the Sullivan group, in East\nKootenay, is credited with saying\nto the Cranbrook Herald: \"The\nproposed bonus will enable Sullivan\ncompany to start mine immediately\nand to complete the smelter this\nseason.\"\nReports of a like nature come\nfrom other camps. J. L.Parker,\nof the North \"Star mine, says:\n\"As long as the bonus lasts, we\nmay consider that we will have\ngood times for the following reasons:\n1st. Tlie mines\nshipping condition,\n,JiQkjihippingH_wilL\nthat are in a\nbut which are\nnaturally\u00E2\u0080\u0094ship,\ntheir ores.\n2nd.

Those properties which\nha ve a favorable surface m i neral\ncondition, will naturally either\nhive some work dono on them, or\nthe owners will find a more favor-\nablo market for them than has\nbeen tho case the past two years.\n4th. \u00E2\u0096\u00A0 Encouragement will be\ngiven to the prospector to limit for\nnew finds, probably resulting in the\nlater opening up of a new district\nor two,\n5th. The wage expenditure will\nreturn to the old stand ml of about\n82,500,000 per annum instead of\nless than 8500,000.\n0th. Tho merchants, who have\nbeen reducing their stock, will replenish it, resulting in tlio merchants emt getting fresh order*,\nand giving tho railroads more\nwork.\n7th. The smelters will have live\nfurnace*, instead of dead ones, and\nthis will give employment to more\nmen, and through this certain ore*\navailable for Amies can lie used mid\npurchased by them which would\notherwise have to remain in the\nground. This latter feature is an\nimportant one, giving employment\nto more men.\nThe amount of bonus to be di\u00C2\u00AB-\ntributed in five years time on the\nba\u00C2\u00ABis of $15 per ton, wilt be about\n12,500,000, and as the mino owners\nwill spend $10,000,000 more during\nthe same |>eriod, than they would\nhavo dono under the past conditions, it wi'l im seen that the government nld, although tardy, will\nmean a direct aid to the district of\ntwo million, live hundred thousand\ndollars, besides an indirect aid of\nten million.\nThe following will be the amount*\nof bonus on the difltar ent grade* of\nore that each grade will eArn:\nSO per cent lead or*, $4.05 per ton.\n40 per cent lead ore, $5.40 per ton.\n50 per cent lead ore, $0.75 per ton.\n(10 per cent lead ore, $10.80 per ton.\nJohn A.

Indirectly the bonus\nwill be of still greater benefit to the\nprovince as it will bring several\nmillions of British and American\nmoney into the Slocan and Kootenay lead mines for investment.\"\nThere are other reasons why the\nsilver-lead mine owners should feel\njubilant. Following on the news\nthat the United States government\nwould almost certainly fix a ratio\nfor silver for coinage in the Phil-\nipines, comes the news that \u00E2\u0080\u00A2* lead\nfamine threatens in London. The\nnormal British consumption is\n270,000 tons, of which, about 25,-\n000 tons is produced in the north\nof England and in Scotland. The\nbalance is imported from Australia,\n-Gai'thginaHn-Spnin7Tind~BaTiTTnriir\nGreece, of which places Australia\nships the \u00E2\u0080\u00A2greatest amount. Owing\nto the low prices which iiavo prevailed for lead in London, and for\nits sister product, silver, th6 Australian mines have been closing\ndown one by one until a heavy\nshortage threatens. A-despatch\nfrom London says the probable\nshortage will bo 100,000 tone.\nAll this welcome new-s seems to\ngive the Slocan a brighter outlook\nthan.it has enjoyed since boom\ndays.\nZinc, too, is adding encouragement. It has lately been ruling\nhigher in New York than since the\nAmerican war. And, on tlio understanding that the United States\nwill fix a ratio for Philippine coinage thnt will mako the white metal\nworth 05 cents an ounce, silver li ts\njumped from 40 to 53 cents.\nThero is already felt the scarcity\nof laboring men. Many of the big\nproperties are wanting more. This\nshortage will not be long felt, for\ntho Miner's Unions will soon get\ngood men to come in from the outside.\nThere is now felt among the\nmine owners, more than over liefore, the need of a stronger organization than the make-shift organization that has been known as the\nMiue Owners' Association. It has\nI\u00C2\u00BBecn of little practical benefit, and\nhas stood in the way of a better\norganization. We believe it is the\nintention to reorganize on lines\nadopted by similar associations in\ntite silver-lead camps across the\nline. Under such an organization\nthere would be no chance for the\nsmelters to play the \"cinch.\" The\nmine owners have the metal, and\nif necessary could build their own\n^inciter.\nThe Dominion government ha*\ndone enough for the mine owners\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094thoy lutve been given what they\nasked for. It is now up to the\nmine owner* to do something for\nthemselves, if they would get the\nbenefit of tlie government aid. The\nway to do ft is by using tho power\nthat is thelr'a.\nM.l'Ur MI'U'JT'J.W.\neral industry of the United States\nhaving received S15.S39.913.

With\na $15 freight and treatment rate\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nwhich J. L. Parker thinks is \"ifair\nand reasonable (for Slocan mine\nowners), with prices at the outside\nfigure during the year of 81.50 for\nlead and 52 cents for silver, the\nNorth Star would have about $S\nfor mining, putting oro 'on cars,\nand management of the miue.\nEven a clever man like Mr. Parker\nmust find it 'difficult to produce\ndividends ai such figures.\nLOCAL NK1VS FLOAT.\nTrains are again\nLardo.\nrunning in the\nthe Sunset smelter.

It is good enough, when\ncooked in this way, to eat without the\naddition of a single condiment, but if\ndesired olive oil and lemon juice can\nbe added to taste, or any dressing the\nconsumer may desire. There is nothing the matter with cabbage; tho trouble is. this ignorance of the people about\nthe best way to prepare it for consumption. As an addition to raw salads il\nis always in order.

I\npresume not. Therefore I will speak\nof something else.\nI used to know a barber who had a\nregular set of questions for each customer. Every time a certain youth\ncame in he asked him all about the\nhealth of his folks. He knew them all\nby name and enquired about each one\nseparately. He always wound up wilh\nthe query: \"And how is your good old\nfather ?\" By and by the old man died\nin due and legal form, but-~the barber\nforgot to revise his list of questions.\nEvery week he asked theyouth about\nthe folks and wound up the same\nold way and every week the youth explained that his father had died on\non such and such a dale. \"And how.s\nyour good old father ?\" asked the barber for the steentlv time and the youth\nreplied: \"Oh paw he's still dead!\"\nThis same barber had a disagreeable\nhabit of always poking his cold linger\nin your ear.\nI like a sociable barber who endeavors to make one see the bright\nside of life while he gently bul firmly\nrobs him. I met several in St. Louis\nrecently but it was a pleasing, fat com-\nplexioned individual that did most of\nthe drawing on my bank occouiit.\nWhen I took off my collar he laid it\ncarefully away in a lil tie closet and said\nsomething nice \"about my 99-cent tie\npin. I smiled and he marked I5 cents\nin a book. I told him I only wanted a\nshampoo, but he said he would consider that his life had been a failure if\nI didn't let him trim off the Irouseled\nlace curtain effect around the edges.\nHe pleaded so hard ahd looked into my\nface so sweetly that I reluctantly consented and he added 50 cents to my\naccount. Then he told me I had the\nfinest head of hair lie ever cut\u00E2\u0080\u0094so\nsilky and so long and luxuriant\u00E2\u0080\u0094and\nasked what I did to keep it so lovely.\nThat gave me a sort of pleased exhilarated effect along my spine and 1\nsmiled. The smile assured him 1\nwould stand for 10 cents more and he\nput it down. Then he told me a story\nabout a friend of his who shaved a dead\nman. The stiff was full of alcoholic\ngas and when the barber pressed an\n\"elbow-\"otT\"\"iis\u00E2\u0080\u0094stomach-it-bU\nbubbles and he upset a piano getting\naway. I think the story cost me \"a\nquarter.\nThen he told me I ought to have the\nends of my hair singed to keep it from\nfalling out and preserve it for future\ngenerations to trifle with, I explained\nthat I had to catch a train and would\nrather strew a few stray locks along\nthe boulevard from there to the depot\nthan to get left on the platform with a\nwealth of shedless singed hair and an\nexpiring ticket iu my hand. Of course\nyou wilt understand that I mean the\nticket would be in my hand and not\nthc singed hair. I loltl him also that\nI was not married and hence no future\ngenerations were dependent upon me\nfor hair as yet. He yielded to my eloquence and refrained from starting the\nproposed conflagration. I never did\nlike to have my hitir afire. It's bad\nenough to have one's heart afire and no\ninsurance. He put some sort of dope\non my head and curried it with a wool\ncarder and turned 11 hydrant on me\nand then dried it. I asked him if he\never accidentally drowned a man, ami\nseeing that 1 was a humorist he put\ndown (mother quarter.\nIvxpcnses were piling up, but I was\nreckless. Barbers have lo live. One\ncan't expect litem to think out nice\nhprn-hc* giatih. The sordid worKl\nis too materialistic. Why should we\nnot huy our compliments as we Uo our\nftwh and stovewood ? If Ihe bootblack\naiiya your nock** arc pretty, give him a\nnickel. Then he will bow Io you and\nhe happy and you can walk away like\na lord. Suppose il in your last nickel\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nwho cure*. I saw lhat the barber\nreally enjoyed working on my face, %o\nI let him -shave me mid made no remonstrance when he started in 10 give\nmanage. I hail been sitting up\nthe various charges. Every time you\ngo into a St. Louis . barber shop they\nopen an account with you in their ledger. The niggers wanted to put in\nnew shoestrings for me at the small\ncost of ten cents, but I told them I was\nin such a rush I would have to ask\nthem to accopt the price as a gift and\nlet me off. The head barber wanted\nto put some nice tonic, on my hair to\nmake it grow. He said it would\nsmall nice and make all my friends feel\nbetter, but I remonstrated and he reluctantly put down tlie bottle and ten\ncents. It costs ten cents every time\nthey pick up a bottle in St. Louis. After\none o'clock on Sundays and holidays it\ncosts twenty.\nWhile the fat-complexioned gentleman combed my hair 1 told him about\nmy experience in Chester the night before. The electric light went out and\nI had to get shaved by candle light.\n-The barber set a row of candles on\ntlie edge of the wall case and then\nshaved off an eyebrow on the dark side\nand left my ear full of soap. I felt\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nstretched out therewith candles all\nabout me\u00E2\u0080\u0094like the principal figure at\nan Irish wake. Three of the barbers\nlaughed at the incident and said it was\nsurely an odd experience, and the\nscorekeeper put down five cents for\neach of them. With the assistance of\nthree niggers and an additional outlay j Why yoa should Day\nof thirty cents I acquired possession of\nmy coat and hat and umbrella and\nfled down the station platform just in\ntime to run intc a closed gate and watch\n.through the iron bars while my train\npulled out and left me with a slowly\nexpiring ticket in my vest pocket.\u00E2\u0080\u0094C.\nb. woic .,,'..;\nREASONS WHY.\nA correspondence has been taking\nplace in an exchange with regard to\nthe reasons why men don't go to church\nand, as we know something about it,\nwe beg lo offer the following additional\nreasons:\nBecause the church ..won't'- come to\nthem.\nBecause Ihe missus goes there.\nBecause they want to smoke.\nBecause they are not allowed lo show\ntheir new hats.\nBecause they cannot stand a man\nhaving all the conversation to himself.\nBecause they want exercise.\nBecause they want rest.\nBecause it reminds them of their\nwedding day.\n , -* *\u00E2\u0080\u0094 \u00E2\u0096\u00A0\nIf Walkem and Martin lived in\nFrance they would fight a duel.\nNelson can get a tourist trade by advertising.\nFAIR PLAY\nCHEWING\nTOBACCO\nlOcand 20c a plug.\nBeCaUSe it is the best quality.\nBeCOiUSe it is the most lasting\nchew. . \u00E2\u0096\u00A0\u00E2\u0080\u0094\u00E2\u0080\u0094\u00E2\u0080\u0094\u00E2\u0080\u0094\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\"-\nBeCaUSO it is the largest high\ngrade 5 or 10c plug.\nBeCaUSe the tags are valuable for\npremiums until January\n1st, 1906.\nBeCaUSe we guarantee every\nplug, and\nBeCaUSO your dealer is author\nized to refund vour\nmoney if you are not\nZinc will surely push the Slocan\nmines against a banK account.\n4\u00C2\u00BB*\n4*\nA NOBLE RECORD.\n4> While one labor organization after the other is T\nX &0'n\u00C2\u00A3 on a strike, the encouraging news reaches us <\u00C2\u00ABg\u00C2\u00BB\n4* from Butte, Montana, that the Miners' union of that *f*\njr. city, now celebrating the twenty.fifth anniversary of ^\n\u00C2\u00AB|> its organization, has never been involved in a strike\n4* and, in the long period of its existence, has always\nX succeeded in maintaining harmonious relations with\n4* employers. This is certainly a record to be proud *|*\nT cfone that is decidedly unique in the annals of ^\n\u00C2\u00AB\u00C2\u00A7\u00C2\u00BB American labor. Paradoxical as it may seem, the <|\u00C2\u00BB\nminers have never demanded and never been granted ^\nan increase in wages since the organization of their 4-\nunion.

Several\nmembers of the diplomotic set were\npresent. Madam was in high feather\nand she also wore a diamond tiara and\nseveral sitings of pearls around her\nneck. During the evening she complained of feeling a bit chilly and told\none of the servants to call her maid.\nWhen the maid appeared she is said to\nhave shivered a trifle, and exclaimed:\n\"Susette, 1 am so cold; please get me'\nmother string of pearls.\"\nTHE EMPIRE TOBACCO CO., Ltd.\nmenial women.

She\nsimply had to give and receive kisses.\nAn intoxicating wave of mysterious\nemotion invaded her little fluttering\nheart when the full lips of the organist\nwere seeking for her own. Considering all the circumstances of the case,\nand the well-known foibles and susceptibilities of feminine nature, the\nChicago woman cannot be blamed for\nsuccumbing to the temptation which\ncame to her.

DAVID. SANDCN.&C.\nGOLDKN PKKBV CREEL.\nThe Ft. Steele Prospector says\nthat the country about Perry creek\nand its tributaries is to assume considerable! importance in the near\nfuture as a gold mining camp.\nThis, it says, is attested by the ore\nbodies which are now being developed, and the persistent work now\nbeing done on the placer mines in\nthat vicinity.\nThe Kootenay Perry Creek Mining Company is now sinking a shaft\nto bedrock to test its ground. Albert Banks is at Montreal, purchasing a stacker and washer.\nOperations with the steam dredge\nhave ceased for the present owing\nto lack of necessary machinery to\nhandle the gravel. Operations will\nbe resumed on the arrival of the\nstacker and washer.\nThe Perry Creek Mining and\nHydraulic Co. is now constructing\na ditch and flume three miles and\na half in length. The ditch at the\nintake will be 800 feet. A large\nsyphon 1200 feet in length has been\nbuilt across a ravine 175 feet deep.\nThe sawmill recently installed by\nthis company, is doing good wOrk,\ncutting about 10,000 feet of lumber\ndaily. Thirty men are uow era-\nployed, aud several teams are engaged in excavating the long ditch.\nDevelopment work has been resumed on the Roaring King group\nof claims situated at the head of\nPerry creek. Frank Williams with\na small force went up to the mine\nlast week. Work will be continued\nduring the summer months.\nIt is reported that work will be\nresumed in the near future on the\nBadger and Red Mountain group\nof claims. This is a free milling\nproposition, now under bond to an\neastern syndicate.

The\nplant is under the cuntrol of the\nUnited States Zinc Co., and cost\nnearly $1,000,000. The furnaces\nhave been erected cjose to the\nsmelting plant of the American\nSmelting and Refining Co. When\nrunning at its full capacity the zinc\nHraelter~wiii'\u00E2\u0080\u0094g!ve~'6iHploynieiit\u00E2\u0080\u0094to~-\nncarly 500 men. It will take probably three months for the plant to\nreach its full working strength.\nThe first bit of spelter ever produced iu the Btate was cast when\ntlie furnace was placed in commission and from this date forward\nzinc ores that hitherto have only\nfound a market in Germany will be\nreduced at home. The inauguration of this important new enterprise means that ores which a few\nyears ago were not only considered\nworthless but a serious drawback\nto the operation of silver mines,\nnow havo a distinct market value\nand can be Bold near the mining\ndistrict.\nThe plant is one of the most\nmodern in the world, and was erected under tho supervision of the\nexperts of Germany and America.\nIt embrace* all the latest devices,\nand has a capacity for smelting 200\nton* per day.\nTho Pueblo works were opened\nunder the direction of William\nShulte, of Overpelt, Germany, ono\nof tho best zinc metallurgists in\nEurope. Mr. Schulto will leave on\nhis homeward voyage in a fow days.\nExpert* In zinc smelting wero imported from Frankfort, Germany,\nand will remaiu in the employ of\nthe company.\nALEXANDER BIGGER\n' Anyone knowing tho whereabouts of Alexander Biitger, Who, in the year 189(5, was ih\nRevelstoke and the \u00C2\u00A7loc-an, will oblige by /or\nwarding his present addres to\nMESSRS MAODONALH& JOHNSON.\nBarristers, Nelson, B.
