"The Tribune was published in Nelson, in the Central Kootenay region of southeastern British Columbia, and ran from November 1892 to November 1905. The Tribune was published and edited by John Houston, an outspoken journalist who would later embark on a successful political career, which included four terms as the mayor of Nelson and two terms in the provincial legislature. Houston had established the Miner in Nelson in 1890, and, after leaving the Miner in the summer of 1892, he established the Tribune to compete with his former paper. In August 1901, the title of the paper was changed to the Nelson Tribune."@en . ""@en . "https://open.library.ubc.ca/collections/xtribune/items/1.0187622/source.json"@en . "application/pdf"@en .

There was never sne-h a thin,, in this country as Llic coining ol\" silver free of charge for bullion owners, and no such thing has ever been proposed, therefore the term \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDfree silver coinage\" is a. misleading term and we should substitute for iL Lhe words unlimited coinage without purchase I'or one-tenth toll us pay for the work- and government stamp to remove this misapprehension. Tho law of unlimited silver coinage that prevailed with us until February. 1ST., permitted tiny bullion owner to bring 112k grains of bar or pure silver, to anygov- erninens mint and tender il to (he officer iu charge, who cut off one and one-fourth grains tind put it in Lhe government-hopper as the government's toll, which reduced what was left to .71 y grains of pure silver, tind to this the government added a- mixture of IU grains called alloy. Alloy is not a metal, but a mixture of metals, and might be part copper and part glass, and is placed with both silver and gold bullion Lo harden it. and make iL of the proper consistency Lo wear as money. This alloy is very inexpensive, and the difference between its value and that of the pure silver bullion that it displaces in a dollar is the government's pay I'or minting the money: and hence comes the expression \"a silver dollar containing 81l[ grains of pure silver, or H2i, \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDgrains- nine- \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD tenths fine.\" In the nine-tenths fine one- tenth of. silver has boon, taken out bythis ininting process aiid this cheap combined' .substance called alloy substituted, in i.s pla.ee. If wo repeal the'Sherman bill and sub-' stitute Mr. Bland's unlimited.coinage act in its place and issue a coin certificate to the man who brings I12J, grains of pure silver to the mint, and till the silver money of the world should bo -melted down iuto bullion and Ill-ought to our mints for free coinage, there would none of it be pure silver, anil under a, bill properly drawn, \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDnone of'it. would be admissable, and the holders'of it would ha ve to take it away and first extract the 10 per cent of alloy in it. and then when they brought it back again, after being separated and purili. d, . .10.per conL more would be taken, out by our government as its toll for mintage, and as nearly all, the silver money of Europe is now either full legal tender in the payment of all private and public debts, it does everything gold money can and the limited legal tender silver money Jills the office of gold as bank reserves at id debt payments and can not be .had in those countries at the bullion price of bar silver, but it costs its. face value in gold, as will be seen by the following letter from Lhe \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDsecretary of our mint, for legal Lender , and nearly that for Lhe limited : TltKA.SlltY .Kl'AUTMK.

In Kiigland il is legal tender only to the amount of .Ci: in tlerinany of I'll murks, in- about $i'>; in Italy, France, Spain, etc.. it is unlimited legal lender, us also iu Switzerland, (treece tin'! lielgiuin. There is no discount, in tliese countries on the legal tender silver at the hanks. Respectfully yours. It. I . I'uicsto.v. Acting Director of the Mint. There is less Lhau 5jvl()0.000.l)00 of Lhe limited tender silver money. All our silver money was limited legal tender from IS7-I Lo I87K, and was noL as good money as is the limited legal tender of Kngland, which pays a debt of K2. or near $10, and no better than the silver money now is (ierniaiiy. Since this letter was written we have never found a ('erninn or an Englishman just over, or recently visiting his old home, who could rectiII an instance where he had had to suffer a discount in those countries in using their silver money there. We know in our country from IS7-I to I STS till of our silver money that had been coined prior to 1878 floated nt par up to J STS. although excluded hy law for paying a. debt of over $7y, and yet a trade dollar at the same time, containing-1.0 grains, could lie had for 87) cents, because it had no legal tender capacity. We desire to remind congressmen tliat there is no perceptible discount on even the limited legal tender money of Europe, sind tliey should satisfy themselves of this hy taking the proof and not rely on the gold trust that runs our treasury department, the Associated Press dispatches, and our metropolitan press of both the old parties. This limited Lender silver money would cost near par to replace with gold to call in and it would have to suffer its ^0 per cent expense and loss for recoinage that is shown hereal'Ler. and it would not be offered to us to he melted up for recoinage if we should pass the I'land bill for reasons hereafter shown. This silver coinage of Europe and India, all of it, whether limited or unlimited, legal tender, contains . per cent less of silver and 8 per cent less of weight than our silver'dullnrs. or those that will be made under the proposed Bland bill, as the Kuropean ratio of coinage to gold whiles thev made silver money was as I.', to 1 of gold, while ours has been and will be iu this ratio of 10 to I. so thai while their mints are iu operation the world's production largely went to them I'or coinage, because the same bullion (hey would tender Lo our mint and have coined inLo 5j>.l if tendered to the Kuropean mint made .'jS2: the mintage there added to Lhe circulation of money in Europe, and aided us to obtain better prices in Europe, and thereby aided us just as much as if the mintage had been here. Won.ro told that unlimited silver coinage will cause the silver money of other countries to bis melted down into bullion tind sent hero I'or free coinage, and thereby cause our government to lose several hundred millions of dollars. The total silver money of the world is approximately .: 3.7OO.OO0.000. We have Jf).*>()0.0()().C!00 of this, leaving . \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD.200.000,000 in other countries. This 5, \".200,000.000 is money that has been coined in those countries, and by the laws of those countries has boon made legal'tender for the payment of all debts iu thorn, public-tind private, and therefore has a debt-paying value equal to its face value, and will cost; its lace value in gold, as shown by out- preceding roinarks.and a- latter from our director of the mint that we have heretofore quoted. The assumption then that if could be purchased in gold at what would be its face value in bullion if it had not been coined and made a legal tender must l)e discarded. ! This being the ease, what profits would * foreigners tind speculators make in buy- i ing in the coined silver money of other I countries to have itroooined by us? First, they would pay its Lace Lo get it; secondly, they would lose \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD'\"'per cent in weight, the coined dollars there being smaller than ours: thirdly, by reason of the use of coined money there since it was coined it has worn away not less than 8 per cent. which would bo another loss in weight; fourthly, undera properly drawn mintage bill they would have to present tons pure bullion, such as wc get in Lhe bar from the mine. To do this they would have to got the alloy extracted out of their bullion after it was melted down, tow it, 10 per cent alloy that was put into it before coinage to enable it to bo coined. This extraction would cause a loss of 10 per cent in weight and the cost of the extraction would probably be at leant one-half the cost of -mintage, -which would make, .\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDmother'.5 per (rent to .start with before 'thoy .had over readied our mint, and our mint would charge JO per cent of the bullion as its toll for recoinage,'.making 30. per cent of an outlay to buy in foreign silver money to have it recoined by us, or a loss to tho foreigner or -specula tor who attempted it of $0;\"_.(.

The j. oormnn, \"whose ores the 10-stump mill of the Davenport-Hussey company is now working, i.s the oldest discovery in the gold district. It was'found by Isaac Nail and Peter McDougal in Lhe spring of ISSS. These prospectors were c-oiniiigdowu from the Silver King on Toad mountain, and were following the west bank of what is now known as Eagle creek, when their attention was attracted to a large body of quart-/ croppiiigs on the opposite side of the canyon. On investigation they found what tliey wore seeking. This outcrop curried the yellow metal visible fo Lhe naked eye, and at once they staked their claini, giving it a name borne by dividend payers in every prominent camp in the mining regions of the west. The section was comparatively inaccessible at the time, and in order to get in supplies and begin the work of development, Messrs. Nuil and McDougal hud quite un uniount of preliminary work to do. They made a trail fo Nelson, built a cabin,aud sunk several shafts (the deepest being some twenty-two feet) on the vein by fall. As surface water troubled them, they decided to run a crosscut tunnel to tap'the ledge. In the spring of 18.. this tunnel penetrated the ledge fit a depth of ninety feet from the surface. The vein wtis found to he as wide, as strong, and Lhe quartz, iis rich as iit the surface, which encouraged the owners. A.s the surrounding hills were filled with' men looking for gold, flic, property had quite a notoriety. In iMay, 1889,,.John C. Davenport and James F. Waidner, both of whom hap- penetT to hejir of the claim in Spokane,\" a thrived at Nelson on the same boat, each after the property, provided if idled their expectations...Each wanted to purchase after a thorough examination, and it was filially'loft to chance to ascertain who would be the fortunate man. A game of seveu-up was played on a log in front of .John F. Ward's tout hotel, which wa.s the only-hostelry in the entire Kootenay Lake country at thu time, and Mr. Davenport won. The salo was soon'effected, A. L. Davenport, the present .manager,\"and Charles Hussey of Spokane being the purchasers, and .:_),(XX) being the price. Energetic development work wa.s commenced on the mine unci the erection of the mill begun, this latter improvement being completed in the spring of \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD!.!_' at ii cost of $15,000. In the- meantime, the same parties purchased the White-Buchanan claim, which adjoins the Poormau on the oast, iind five others, making a group of seven in all. In 1800 the mill crushed about 000 tons of ore. which yielded ,J8,t\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDK). It had to close down early iu the fall on account of ii shortage of water, but quite a force of men were kept iit work ou development until the Hussey bank failure iit Spokane iu December, KSSK). The. failure of one of the Iltisseys, and the many complications arising therefrom, has. until recently, put quite a clamper on the working of the property.' In the spring of 1801 A. L. Davenport assumed charge,as quite an amount of assessment work had to be done to hold the claims. Ho only milled fifty tons toward fall, and cleaned up from the same 5.1700. : Last season (1802) he worked 200 tons of ore, which yielded 5,f>000. A'force of ten men are now working and the mill has been running for some time, and will continue as long as the water supply holds out. so that- thissouson\sout- puf will swell the grand total to quite a handsome amount. The; Hussey interest is now in proper shape for work to be carried on without interruption, and the first improvement will be logo ahead with the lower crosscut funnel, which will iit distance of KX) feet from the mouth (it now being in lit) foot) explore the vein to a depth of .'. '(' feet. This will place in sight enough ore to run this mill at its present capacity for several years should the ore body hold its width and richness. The 10-stnnip mill is situate in the canyon about a quarter of a mile below the (irc-house iit the mine. It consists of a rock breaker, automatic feeders, stamps, h'rue Viiiiners. These latter are not . however, as the gold is so free this in rets are not of sufficient value to I'or the trouble of concentrating, ore averages .$20 gold per ton saved, iind the mill hasa capacity of twenty tons each twenty-four hours if run steadily. The motive power is a Pelton water wheel run by water from Eagle creek. The power, however, is insufficient, and no doubt will I .supplanted by something more certain in the near future. The owners know tliey have a bonanza, and t here is no need of them longer delaying t lie swelling of their bank accounts from a source which can easily return handsome and continuous dividends. There are several gold-bearing lodges iu that vicinity presenting good showings. but thev are vol, iu the hands of men inl and used sul J) pit \ Tli.

William Lloyd Garrison. Wendell Phillips, and .Horace Greeley were till \"remarkable\" men, in that they advocated measures that were unpopular with the people \"who were afraid to say aught against shivery. So in nil times. I. ven today there i.s no more bitterly hated man in Great Britain than William l.wtirt Gladstone, simply because he favors a measure that he believes will be of lasting benelit to his country. Of the five governors mentioned above, no one of them is accused of being corrupt: they are merely accused of acting contrary to tho wishes of those who opposed their election to oflice. Tillman of \"South Carolina led the Farmers' Alliance party against the .Democratic party and won a victory: hence he is a \"remarkable\" man because he acts independently of the Democrats. Lewellyn of Kansas is a Populist, and like the members of other political parties who have gained power, ho is doing his utmost to strengthen his party to the curl that it can remain in office. Pennoyer of Oregon i.s a '\"remarkable\" man because he answered an impertinent message from president Cleveland in words that could not be misunderstood. Altgeld of Illinois is another of these \"-remarkable*' men who do their own thinking. .He pardoned three men serving life terms in prison because he believed they were wrongly convicted. W.iife of Colorado is also \"remarkable\" because he would fight to maintain the property rights of the people of his sttite. If the United States and Camilla, had more \"remarkable\" men, like the five lefered to in oflice. and a less number of wooden men who are afraid to act on their own responsibility, the common people would have less to complain of and the self-seeking few would occasionally be brought up witha round turn. DOWN ON ROYALTY. Pronounced \"Deadheads\" by an Outspoken Democratic English Newspaper. The following from a .Loudon newspaper goes to show that royalty i.s not worshipped by all Englishmen. The sizing up of the members of the reigning family i.s pretty accurate, if it i.s caustic: By the time those lines appear the young lady who, little more than a year iigo, Wits represented as wailing over the dead body of her supposed lover, iind crying, \"Oh. Kddio. why don't you come back to nits\"'\" will have been married to the dead young man's brother. The young woman is said liy reporters to have looked serious when she emerged on Tuesday from the house which is provided for her father out. of public taxes. Well, we should think she had some reason to look serious, unless .-ill royal sense of decency is absolutely exhausted. Many tens of thousands of snobs tind idlers have stood in the streets to catch a glimpses of her or of the duke of Vork, or of any other of her numerous pensioned relatives. And now let us ask what wiis if all these people went out into the streets to see. .Not merely a bride ami bridegroom, for these can be seeniin\ day. No. it was to gaze at people \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDwho are called royal. For this it i.s that lunatics have paid \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD.'.. ) for a window, that Loudon lias been iit times rendered almost impassable during the past week, that noise and crowds have added to the daily torments of existence. Now of old royalty really ruled, and it wjis natural iit that time tluit people .should desire to see those who had power of life and death over them. These hitter usually vile, cruel, filthy-minded, treacherous;' but they had power\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDthey did really govern tne affairs of men. The great discovery of the thing called con stitutional monarchy i.s supposed to be that the king or queen does not govern-- i. e.. does not do the thing he or she is paid for doing. The king or queen \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD'reigns\"\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDi. e.. does nothing iit all except take the money that i.s voted, and occasionally assist at the laying of a stone or the opening of a new building. In short, flie king or queen is. in the expressive slang of our American friends, a \"deadhead\"\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD!, e., one who does not pay i'or his enjoyment like others, but either begs or steal's. This is the present condition of monarchy, so that.the crowds who eame oiit to see these Guelph people and their \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDconnections came out to sec a number of royal deadheads. We have heard of great festivals to honor genius, industry, or achievement; but this festival i.s one iu honor of idleness, of usolessiicss _ of people who \"consume\" without doing anything. The general object of the festival being, therefore, of a thoroughly vicious and evoiiinsane character (for it i.s surely vicious iind insane to honor a useless institution), turn to the people honored, to the royalties whom crowds have stared at. If kings and queens are useless politically, the oiily possible ground for honoring tlieni would be that they are individually noble,-groat, and attractive personalities, whom every riglit-niiiided person would desire, to imitate. Is that the cti.se with these\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD people? Look at them. Kven from the point of view of physical beauty or handsome appearance it may be doubted whether a more common-place\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDwo might oven say an uglier\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDgathoriiigcould begot together. With the solitary exception of the'- princess of Wales, who contrives by artificial means to prolong the beauty with which nature endowed her, there is not ii good-looking person in the whole lot \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDa remarkable fact in Jt city so full of good-looking women iind girls as London.. There i.s not a shop in Oxford street the young lady assistants of wliich are not immeasurably better looking than the duke of Teek's daughter, not to speak of the very plain and heavy-looking women whom queen Victoria i.s responsible for having brought into the world. Jt is extraordinary that the pretty girls of London'should' turn out to cheer a bride \"who is distinctly plain to say the least. As for cho-bridegroom, there is scarcely a young fellow to be found playing cricket on ji summer evening in Victoria or Batterseu park who is not his physical superior from every point of view. But it i.s moral qualities,\" wo are told, rather than mere outward beauty, which should count. We quite agree; and how do these people show up from that point of view*' It will generally be admitted that the prince of Wales does not shine as a moral character. The turf, the divorce court, the gambling hell are not places where men of high character are usually seen; but we in- stjintly think of .such places when we thiul. \"of the prince of Wales. The queen herself i.s of a very retiring and apparently misanthropic character. Of her private life nothing scarcely is known. But she has one vice of a, peculiarly repellent chartictei\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDshe is mejin and greedy to a degree quite abnormal; iind rlo what we will, we find it impossible to love mejin and ' greedy people.. The duke of Edinburgh is \"said\" to inherit from his mother (possibly from his father, too, who wjis a \"close\" man) this repulsive trait of character. The bride's father is a bankrupt,, or Avas so, until put on his legs again, and his appearance suggests \"high living .-and -plain thinking\" tis haying .characterized his career. His wife is remarkably stout, but we know nothing more of her except the fact that.she poses a. a philanthropist, and-\"we have generally found by experience that .philanthropists: are very undesirable people to have, anything to do with. The extreme greed of the bride and bridegroom may be inferred from the fact that, tit this period of depression and widespread distress, they have .accepted .presents to -the-amount of \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD more than ii quarter of a million sterling, more than 1200 in number and filling twenty vans. This i.s not the kind of thing tluit good and lovable people would be likely to do, especially jis many of these presents have been paid for by forced contributions from poor people. A.s for the other royal persons, they tire too insignificant to be considered, unless Ave count the duke of Cambridge, anrl, tis he is chiefly noted ' for love of lucre, we regret that we cannot, class him among those who are the moral stilt of the earth. It- appears,, therefore, that these people are not strong in high or noble character, 'that they are distinctly weiik from the moral point of view. It has been attempted to be shown tluit some members of tins family are very remarkable from the.intcllecst.mil pointed' view. The queen, in particular, i.s creelitetl by some persons' who did not know her with a mind rival- ling that of Newton or Sluikespearo, and with an artistic gift resembling tliat of Raphael or Titian. Unfortunately there is no evidence of the fact, and we are obliged to be as sceptical as to the intellectual as we are to the moral endowments of this family.. Tliey have produced nothing-except a perfect swarm of people who have to lie pairl for and kejjt going by the public. Croat intellect is never barren\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDit is bound to create; Jinrl therefore we are sorry to be compelled to deny striking intellectual qualities to these royal persons. It appears, therefore, that they have no personal characteristics to be admired or loved by any human being. And since they tire npt attractive or commanding in themselves, and that thoy do nothing in the way of government, we must again ask what jeople who have been gazing on them lave gone out to see? The reply i.s obvious and inevitable: the people have been gazing on a useless, costly sham.

A most interesting lawsuit has just, taken place in I .iris, which has terminated in the sentence of a gang of blackmailers to forms of imprisonment ranging from ton to two years. It seems that some time ago the vice-admiral countde iMarqucssac, in writing to a person with whom he had no business to be in correspondence, referred to the minister of marine, his superior oflicer, a.s \"ime viisille bete,\" which may be translated as \"an old fool.\" This, a.s well <*is two or throe other letters of the same tenor, fell into tho hands of a. gang of blackmailers, who forthwith proceeded to extort money from the old admiral under the threat of publishing the contents of these letters in some of the opposition papers. Thojidinii.il, who held at the time the position of perfect or naval governor-general of the maritime district of Lorient. realized that if the letters containing the uncomplimentary references towards the minister wore published he would inevitably lose not only liis oflice but also his prospects of promotion. Nearly ^20.000 did he pay to the gang for the sake of securing the return of his unfortunate correspondence, and it wjis not until he found that he could pay no more that he decided to appeal to the police for assistance, ami not before he had made a clean breast of this affair to the minister of marine, who was one of his old messmates jukI who took-the matter as a great practical joke, being especially tickled iit the'idea that the admiral, who i.s a grand officer of the Legion of Honor and renowned as one of tho strictest disciplinarians in the. French navy, had found it so expensive to refer to him as an old fool. TIIE Kelly Sectional Boiler. (Patents- applied for in Canada iind U.S.) CHEAP HEAVIEST SECTION 170 POUNDS.

Only those commanding corps and divisions have posts from which to survey a battlefield while the fight is on. If the lighting is furious all along the line, even the general in command may not be able to take in over half a mile of front,. One may have been in a do/.en battles without witnessing ni.ore than the niaiueitvers of a brigade. Battles usually end in withdrawal and pursuit. In either ease nearly all the troops- on both sides- are set in motion, and so men who have been fighting all day inarch away and see only the dead and wounded in their front. But very few wounded are brought in by night, and tiie tlead can wait for the sun to rise. To move about on the field at night is to take your life in your hand. There are ghouls robbing the dead who \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDwill fire'upon you, and there are wounded men who \"will treat you as a ioe. There are riderless horses galloping about, -while others, maddened witli the pain of \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDwounds, will rush at you open mouthed from the darkness. It is when morning conies again that those left behind to bring in the wounded, bury the dead and collect the equipments scattered over miles oi ground .perhaps can see and fully realize how fierce and 'deadly the fighting was. The (lead are not ail on the battle lines. Here, where the reserves were posted, a mile in the rear, are the first of them. They tire lying in heaps, and in nearly every case the face is covered.by poncho or blanket. Down this front of a mile in length we find a dead man here and there as we advance, sometimes two or three together, but there are no wounded. They were removed under fire. Half a mile in rear of the battle line we come upon the first of tins men killed by the musket fire. They Avere not really under fire, but acting as ..upports, and yet the ranks lost heavily. It is curious to note the positions of the dead where the bodies have not been interfered with. Nine out of ten are lying broad on their backs with arms outstretched. Their feet tire pointed all around the compass, but more of them lie with their heads to the east than in any other direction. The men shot in the liead are lying at full length; those below the neck have one leg drawn up, and their fingers are clinched. There is not on any face what you would call a look of pain or anguish, and neither do you find smiles nor placidity. Look into the faces of 100 men killed iii battle, and you will find the same general expression, whether old or young'. It is a look of surprise and fear. This look rests on the luces of men killed in their tracks, a.s it were. The mortally wounded man may turn on his side to die, and you may find him with a smile on his face. He has had time to breathe a prayer; to think of wife and children and home; to realize that liis hour has come. The battle line runs across a highway, over an old cotton field, across a meadow and into the woods. The men nia.de breastworks of rails and dirt. At one spot they had the cover of a stone wall, at another'the banks of a winding creek. Here was a. brigade without the slightest cover, rushed in to hold a gap in the line. The dead and wounded 'lioj.ju.st a.s they fell\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDfive dead to one wounded. The enemy used grape and canister from a battery planted on the ridge, and the missiles did terrible execution. Here along the breastworks the troops were lying down and fired from that position. Nearly every dead man still rests at full length on his stomach, though their laces seem half buried in the grass. iUnny of the muskets still rest across the breastworks. Here for .00 feet we cannot find a wounded num. Most of the dead were struck in the face or throat. With his back to the wall sits ti dead man who probably lived an hour or two nflei he was hit.

Of tliese 07 millions were passed as good and 10 millions were rejected on account of inaccurate weight or other defects. Thus the number of coins rejected amounted to nearly 20 per cent, or one-fifth of the total number struck.

American Bills to be Discounted. .Both the banks at Xelson have decided to discount American piiper money . per cent after the 15th iii'-Uinl. The reasons given are that there is so much .American money in circulation that the bills of the two banks remain in the vaults, instead of being in circulation, and that there is little demand for drafts on points in the I'nited States. American silver will be taken at par, as heretofore.

The most authentic news of a lind in the Duncan Biver country i.s that furnished by \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\"Dick\" b'allop of . Balfour, who has spent some time prospecting along the shores of Monser hike. Last month he ran across good looking ground at a point six miles above Duncan City and back from the lake about a. mile and a half. On prospecting it he found three parallel veins, one of them fully twenty feet wide, the otlier two being belweun eight and ten feet. The ledges appear to be well delined, stratus of clay lying between the vein mattei and the walls. Tlio large ledge was crosscut ih throe -places, showing the ore body to be nt least twelve feet wide. Picked specimens of the ore assayed all the way from 500 to 000 ounces in silver, and samples carefully taken ran from 02 to 108 ounces. A tunnel was run in on the big ledge for twenty feet without using powder, so easy is the vein matter to u-ork. TJie ground is about 000 feet higher than the lake and is easily readied with pack animals. The Nelson & Fort Sheppard.

Are Circulating- a Falsehood. The report that is being circulated by the \"close and parlicular\" friends of A. S. 1 .u .veil and Jo.iali 1 .etcher, to the effect that purchasers of lots in New Denver are enjoined from making improvements on or disposing of their purchases, i.s simply a bold-taced falsehood.
