"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/1.0188777/source.json"@en . "application/pdf"@en . " YESTERDAY'S COURT MARTIAL A Drawn Battle. Rennes, August 20.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDNeither siTie was pleased with the outcome of today's proceeding's before the court martial. The Dreyfusards expected colonel Cordier, who was deputy-chief of the intelligence department under the late lieutenant- colonel Henry, would testify that the bordereau was received directly by the late colonel Sandhorr. Had this expectation been fulfilled the testimony would have been a strong point in favor of the accused because it would have been a reply to the anti-Dreyfusards, who have al ways contended that Henry received tho bordereau, and forwarded it to Sandhorr, a tiling he would not have done had the bordereau been, as the Dreyfusards assert, written by his accomplice 'Esterha/.y, for in tliat event lie would have recognized the writing when he deceived the bordereau from the German embassy, and would have suppressed it instead of forwarding it to Sandlierr. Colonel Cordier, however, testified today that he was absent from the intelligence department when the bordereau arrived, but that he believed it was received by Henry. Naturally this statement elated tho anti-Prey-' fusards, but the Dreyfusards had good reason to congratulate themselves upon the remainder of Cordier's testimony as it was wholly in favor of Dreyfus. On tho other hand the procession of the general staff, who demanded an opportunity to confront colonel Cordier, was a good piece of tactics from the point of view of the anti-Dreyfusards because, though all the points they contested were not of the first importance, yet their very appearance on the stage and their contradictions of some of Cordier's statements left a disagreeable impression. The appearance of general Mereier to question .colonel Cordier came as a surprise to many in the audience, who had supposed tliat after last Saturday's scene, 'when Mereier was confronted with captain Freystaetter, he would remain quiet,.' but Mereier is game to the death. His action today is interpreted as intended to show that he is not going to throw up the sponge. The part he played in 1S9-1 lays 'him open to arrest, and this is a constant topic of discussion in the cafes and at other meeting places in Rennes. There appears to be an excellent reason.why the government would not take any such step until the trial is over. Colonel Jonaust, president of the court martial, could adjourn the trial indefinitely if Mereier, who is an important witness, werearrestod. If tho trial were adjourned more than 'IS hours, it would lapse and the proceedings would \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD have to be gone over again from tho beginning. - Today's- attendance, was * the largest since tho opening of ihe trial. Everybody was on the qui vivo\" to hear the testimony of M. Charles de Sanies de Freycinet, senator, former premier, and former minister of foreign affairs. This adroit politician, the \"White Mouse\" of French politics, sat upon the fence as well as he could. His expression of a. fear that the Dreyfus agitation would injure the discipline of the army, greatly, annoyed tho Dreyfusards as calculated to influence the judges against the accused. But he followed it with a eulogy of the pioneer of the Dreyfus campaign, Scheur-Kcstnor, former vice-president of the senate, whoso character he said he held in tho highest esteem. Maitre Labori then secured another concession, favorable to Dreyfus, by getting M. do Kroycinot to admit that lie could not recall a single fact going to prove that inouey liad, been sent into Franco fi'oui abroad ,t0 promote a campaign in fa Vor of Dreyfus.

As tlio result of negotiations conducted frith the utmost secix'cy assurances have been given tlie American commissioners, it is said, that if they allow matters to rest until after the Canadian elections in October a temporary agreement will be readily reached. lb is suggested that the basis of the new modus viVendi has been sketched out and practically agreed upon by the American and the Caudaiah commissioners. This temporary arrangement will provide that the Canadians shall have use of a port on Lynn canal. Pyramid harbor being the most likely one. The arrangement will provide, however, by means of a special protocol, a distinct declaration that this temporary occupation of a port \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDou the Lynn canal by British customs officials shall in no way affect the final settlement of the boundary question, but both British and American interests and claims to be fully reserved. The use of the port is to be temporary until the question of ownership of the disputed strip is finally settled to the satisfaction of both countries. Under this temporary agreement also, Canadian white pine lumber, not dressed, tongued or grooved, but including logs and rough boards, is to be admitted free into tlie United States. MCPHERSON PJLEDCES SUPPORT To the Eight Hour Law. Special to tho Tribune. Victoria, August 29.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDMePherson has signed a letter in the' News-Advertiser intimating that the Colonist correspondent, whose catechism was printed the other day, is a mendacious liar, and stating in general terms that the interview misrepresented him. Tho letter is not in MePherson's style, and possibly he was not fully aware of its contents when he signed it, but it thus commits him to the eight-hour law and alien exclusion act. \"If the government make any attempt to repeal the eight-hour or alien labor legislation I shall oppose them. If they leave this legislation alone and introduce further legislation which I can approve, I shall support them.\" These are the two measures which Hel- geson demands repealed as the price of liis support, so that the government must lose either Macphcrson or Helgeson, besides Higgins and Martin, which means defeat. Macpheison does specify as incorrect any particular statement in the interview, and the Colonist's correspondent has made an affidavit that all statements made,-are as made by Macpherson. NELSON.

NEW DENVER LOOKS FORWARD To Prosperous Times. New Denver, August 28.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD-Once tho labor question is settled, this town will enter Jipon a new era of prosperity, with more assured resources than in the past. The west slope of Silver mountain will be the main cause of this, tho prospecting of the numerous claims passing into the developing and permanent mining stage. The stocking of the California, work upon which will be resumed shortly; the successful developing of the Marion,, together with the operation of the Hartney and Lost Tiger groups, will bring this place to the front as it should be. At the same time these properties will give employment to many men and encourage adjoining claim holders to more thorouglily prospect their ground. A wagon road from the Three Forks road is being agitated to connect these properties with the town, the connection being made near the Mountain Chief. An easy grade is assured, with an estimated small cost for a. good road. Down on the Lake Shore events are maturing and shaping themselves towards great things, in which English capital will have no small part. Development on the Marion is proceeding with most encouraging results. In the new drift a foot of ore is showing, though.but a few feet under ground, one shot oh Saturday knocking down fifteen sacks of mineral. A crosscut tunnel to gain greater depth ou the lead will be commenced shortly. The California lead has been traced down on to the Marion and stripped for several hundred feet. The owners of the Hartney group anticipate the bonding of their property this Aveek to Nelson parties. There is a difference of $5000 between those interested, which will be satisfactorily adjusted* On the Arden group, above the Mountain Chief,,a\" strong lead has been exposed, showing small bunches of galena. 0 Work is being continued on the Lost Tiger group with the best of results. Some fine ore is being piled on the dump. - Things are looking-bright with the Arlington ou Springer creek just now. A few days ago the drift from the shaft broke into a splendid body of high-grade ore, which has set everybody* in .good spirits^'' The force is being gradually .increased. ' Tt is expected the company will complete the wagon road to the mine this fall, There aro some .-big developments pending on the Arlington and vicinity, _ P. Perkins, one of the'New Denver \"con- tingont prospecting in the Windermere camp, is meeting with \"pronounced success. He has located a free-milling gold proposition, that carries about two feet of quartz, giving the highest values yet obtained iu the district. A. Tunks has a contract on the United Empire on Ten-mile, die second claim from the Enterprise on the north. It is to be crown granted. J. C. Harris is continuing the development of tho Wee-Wee Fraction, adjoining the Bosun. He lias a promising ledge to run in on. KOOTENAY MINES AND MINING Breaking Away From the M. M. XT. A contract has just been let to extend the crosscut tunnel of tho Miller Creek niino in tho Slocan another 100 feet. Work is to be started upon this tunnel at once and it is expected that the lead will be struck within the next few days. The Miller Creek tunnel is now in 30S feet and it is thought that the face of it is within 25 or 30 feet of the vein. The contract has been let for the full 100 feet in order to be certain of striking tho Arein, however, much may be its dip. The long tunnel avi'II strike the Miller Creek vein''at a, point-far..-below the old workings. The original tunnel was run in on the lead and for 108 feet it was in ore. For that distance a solid body of ore, three feet iii width, can be seen in the bottom of the tunnel. It is impossible to work in this tunnel, however, because of the trouble with surface water. The tunnel runs directly through Miller Ci-eek, which has resulted in its being subjected to a continual flow of wator, preventing any kind of work. Work has been suspended upon the Miller Creek for some time, but the management, which is in Spokane, have decided to break away from the Mine Managers' Union, and work is resumed under the contract system, and it is not probable that there will be any further delays in the development. A Rumored Deal. It is rumored that the Hennessey brothers have made a cash deal for their property on the Kootenay lake slope of Ymir mountain. The figures are given out as $100,000, May Yet be Settled Amicably, Mayor Neelands yesterday received a telegram: from city clerk Straehau to the effect that he had met EL Crowe Baker of ^Victoila-on^Moudayt^and^tliscuSsed^tlfe\" matters in dispute between tliq city and the Nelson City Land & Improvement Company.

The Lake Shore mine never looked bet-0 ter in its history than at the present time, forin all three workings there is plenty of-high grade ore. The new air compi'essor is working to perfection and ,the men operating the machine drills are (breaking ground at a rapid rate. The large ore bin near the siding is well under way and when finished ore shipments will begin. For the present the clean ore is being stored in the old ore bin near the-No. 2 tunnel.

CUItKKNT'KATK OF\" INTIflltKST PAIR IT IS NO LONGER AN ISSUE. l-'crnie l'\"rue I'loss. Labor troubles have not hitherto made themselves very inauif'esfc iu British Columbia. This is no doubt due lai'gely to the Tact that there has been a general scarcity of hired labor, which, on that account, has been able to fix its own re- muneration, as is invariably the. case in the .earlier stages of colonizing. .With the advent of population, duo 'cither to the construction of railways or some great influx to a particular spot, the laws of social economy begin to operate, and as a rule it is not long before wo are face to face with the universal pi'oblems of the labor market. There are not wanting indications that this stage has been reached in. this province, and it is thorefoi'o an opportune moment to'review the conditions. The foremost .and most potent factor today in all labor questions is the \"Union.\" Whatever ones private opinion may be\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD and there are some who conscientiously- believe that a trades union is an unnecessary and unqualified, evil\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDtho day has gone by for asailing the pi'inciple. The union is in tlie world to stay; it is a growing power and has to be accepted; and unless we are prepared to adopt the Ger- man system and enforce the edicts of capital against labor at the point of the bayonet we must work in friendly co-op- peration with and not iu hostility to the labor organizations. -All the great inch is-* ti'ial countries, but notably the two gi*eatest\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDGreat Britain\" and thd United States--have adopted this platform, and iu-spite of tho'pi'evalenec of strikes, which aro mainly due to crowded population and excessive competition, no attempt is now made to challenge the right of working men toeo-opurnto. The Western federation of Miners has already made its presence felt in this province. The eight-hour Jaw for miners working underground is ono of the nYsfc results', as it was undoubtedly at the instigation of the West Kootenay minors'' unions that it was introduced. Another recent intervention is in the case of the workmen who were imported from Sudbury to work in the ymir mine in violation of the Masters' and Workman's Act at a lower rate of wages than were ruling in the camp. This case is exciting con- sidwable interest and is now befoi-e the eOut'ts at Kelson. At the, first hearing tlie plaiiitin.'$-~tik' men Who were imported\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD wove non-suited through having summoned tlie wrong oHiei.il, but as the Judge said that 't'l.i.o manager was the responsible party a fresh sumUions was Issued and the case has yet to be tried.

High rates established in; the pioneei' stages of a country are certain to Jitid their proper level by a natural process, and are bound, to be governed more or less by the cost of living. Tlie recent action of the federal gov- r eminent hi voting $50,000 for the salaries and expenses of .agents to enforce the Alien Labor Act is another Mdicatioii that public opinion is (dive to the ftvils turned! at by that important act, and while we cannot complain at the decision ' of the Itnpei'ial privy eoniieil in revoking tlie decision of the Suprcnio court of British Columbia on the question of the employment of Chinese and, Japanese labor in niines for reasons of Imperial policy, we cannot but endorse the action of the government in amending theI. Mines Kegu- latiou Act to meet the requirement of the case. It is contrary to common souse to say that the great coal mining' companies on the Coast, which haA'e, as everyone knows, made millions, cannot carry on their mines without this inferior imported labor. We are of those who. think that any inine which cannot .afford to pay for decent white labor had better be closed in the public interest, for while capital should and will h;iAre its just return the rights of a community also have to be respected. Those mine owners on \"Vancouver Island who insist on employing Chinese and such like should pay a visit to the works of the Crow's Nest Pass Coal Company at Fernie aud Michel, These mines, we might say, are as yet in the development stage, and so far the outlay has been far in excess of the receipts, but despite these facts good wages arc paid and nothing but the best of lvhiU) labor employed.. \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD,\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\"'\".. - . :.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD-;|.

Low wages always mean discontent on the part of the worker and lead to the very evils which are most to be avoided in the interests of capital and labor. Tliey also mean a starved community, poor* business men, and dull, miserable towns. These conditions are bad for all alike, and it should be a long time before they reach this province. The unparalleled mineral wealth will yield sufficient to pay good wages.for the next century at least if half that the capitalists say about their mines is true, and we believe that for many years British Columbia will hold her own as the banner province of the Dominion for good wages,'a contended labor market, and a prosperous people. ' BANQUET TO PAUL JOHNSON. '. Gn.RKN.woon, August 20.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDFor sonic time the question of the site of the big smelter which Paul Johnson, the representative of. the JSrcw York capitalists owning the Mother Lode,: at Greenwood camp, which is opening out the biggest copper lead in the Avorld, came into the Boundary country, to establish has been much in doubt, but Avas definitely set at rest last evening by that gentleman at la banquet tendered to him in the Pioneer hotel by the board ' of \"'.trade of Gi*een- Avood. It was one of the most enthusiastic and representative gatherings ever held in the -Boundary district. There Avas a toast list representing the most interests of the district, but the chief sentiment was \"Our Guest\" proposed by F. J. Finucane, manager of the Bank of Montreal/who spoke-very strongly and highly complimentary of Paul Johnson. He was the biggest man who had ever come into the Boundary\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDbig in body, mind and heart. As a smelter man he was a recognized authority and stoo'd easily at the head of his profession, with probably the Avidest and most varied experience of any man in America, Personally, herhad known Paul Johnson for sonio years and could not speak tdo^ highly of him. - There Avere, however, the assurances of the great smelting capitalists, the Guggenheims, ajid the other New \'ork financiers associated with tlie B. C. Copper Company, of his status. He Avas a Saul among the prophets. As 'a citiy.cn of Greenwood interested in its affairs and a well wisher of tlie great Boundary district, he Congratulated them upon the great acquisition of such a man to their ranks. Paul Johnson had occupied some of the most important positions in his profession in various parts of the Avorld. A graduate of the Royal Technical High School and Mining Academy of Stockholm, Sweden, 1S81, he had successively been superintendent and constructor of Helsingborg Copper Works, Hclsingborg, Sweden; superintendent, Sulitelma Copper Mines, Sulitelma, Norway; manager, Gold .Mines and Mills of Com pixi tia In d us trial, Argentine ROpnbl it; supeiiuteudentj Ely Copper Mines aiid siheltet;, Bly, \"Vermont; assistant superintendent, 1S1 P(tso Siueltiiig Works, M Paso, Texas'; superintendent;.

Calicntes, Mexico. He Avas now superintendent of the British Columbia Copper. Company and no longer of Mexico,, but a citizen of GreeiiAVood and Boundary Creek. His advent iioav with1 his pi'Osout mission was of the utmost iinpor- tanco. It assured the future of the place beyond ii)oradventorej,and gave the mining industry a dofiniteuess and pei'lnn- neiicy noViii* heretofore attained. It meant a great industry, tis it was the intention of the company, he understood, to smelt all the ores that offered and to increase the .capacity as the demand iii- ereased, until ultimately it would' be the largest .copper snlelter in the world. Paul Johnson was greeted with tremendous enthusiasm when he rose to speak, cheer after cheer went up, glasses reared aloft, and for seveiul minutes there Avere singing and \"tigers \" galore. As the personification of good nature and good living, his infectious smile, beaming face and his rich Swedish accent at once established an entente cordiale with his audience. After thanking those present, for the reception he had received and paying compliment to his friend, Mr. Finucane, Mr. Woodpowiier of the town- site and Mr. Ileffer, superintendent of the Mother Lode, iie said: \"I was . in British Columbia four years ago and Avhen I left to take a position with a higher salary I got a banquet like this one. I told them then that as soon as my contract was expired in Mexico, I Avould come back to tliis country again because it avjis the country- I liked. I have been a Avhole lot in this Avorld (laughter) and in inany countries, both in the northern and southern hemispheres. It agrees.with j'ne'better, iii a northern; couuti'y.

They are happy and contented and comfortably off, no doitbt, but tin- people of the west have more push, go and energy in them, so I came up to British Columbia. I had a great many mountains to come over. That is all right, too. I am not afraid of mountains. I am at home in them. It is my business to he there; and lot me tell you Avhere you have big mountains there you have big mines. (Applause.) I have seen a Avhole lot of mining camps in my time; and Avithout any-bosh or nonsense about it I want to tell you you have got them right here. (Cheers.)

I tell you Avithout flattery\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDand it Avould not do for me as a mining man to say what I do not believe\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDthe biggest mines on this continent Avill be right around Greenwood in this district. (Loud cheering.) I came to Boundary to establish a, smelter. Renewed and prolonged applause. There are the mother lode and other lodes. (Laughter.) I am not going to say that their vein is 170 feet wide, as was stated here tonight. It is-not'ray business to tell you Iioav big our ore bodies are. (Laughter.) If it be true\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD and I do not deny that,it may be true- that they are very big, it mean's large quantities of ore to be smelted at low 'prices.;., (Applause.) \"I have not been here a very long time, but I have kept my eyes open and my wit's about me. I have seen a good deal and I have come to the conclusion that Greenwood is a natural point of gravitation for all the ores of all tlie mines of all the camps around here.

Another burglary was '.-oininitted on Baker street oji Monday night, this time at the Nelson Hardware Company's store. The thieves broke the back window, lifted the latch of the back door, and went out the same way. It is not thought that these are the same thieves who perpetrated the former burglaries, as they were apparently not after cash, but took fourteen out of the sixteen revolvers displayed in the window. Most of the guns can be readily identified by the firm. Two men have been identified by parties in town, one of them a Chinaman, as having tried to sell them revolvers yesterday morning. In consetpience of information received the chief of police and patrolman Smith went down to the Klondike hotel, where one of the suspected men was. The chief went out for it minute and the suspect immediately made a bolt for it. Patrolman Smith and others followed, and .after ;ui exciting chase he was eventually captured hiding under a bed above Morrison & Caldwell's grocery stoic. The other man was captured during tlie afternoon. He was found by the chief lying under the steps opposite the side entrance., to the Elliot block. No arms were found on either man, and they are at present being held on suspicion. In the meantime the Nelson Hardware Company is offering $100 reward for the apprehension of the burglars. The goods stolen are valued at $150. morning fi'om a month's trip to Niagara and the east. W. F.
