"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/1.0189078/source.json"@en . "application/pdf"@en . " u.

What appears to have'happened in England has been a further postponement of the Le Roi meeting without any action being taken meantime. It is not thought probable' here that the Whitaker-Wright crowd can no longer retain control in one Le Roi group and if a new directorate is formed and representatives are sent to Rossland to report on the situation it will probably mean a settlement of the labor troubles here and at North- [,, port, and, of course, in McDonald's retirement of the management. There has been no strike news of moT mont today. Between 30 and -10 of the i< non-union employes have left the smelter at Northport during the past week and no new arrivals have come.

One fire -is now close to P. Burns & 1 Company's slaughter yards, near Eholt Meadow, about four miles northwest of Greenwood. It is estimated that 30 or 10 men are now fighting the flames in order to save from destruction the buildings and a lot of hides that have been accumulated there. Another fire yesterday interrupted telephone communication on the B. C. mine near Eholt. Word comes from Midway tonight that a fire is burning on Ian McLung's ranch just across the boundary line from Midway and other advices tell of fires burning up the fork of Kettle river between \"\Vest Bridge and Beaverdell. The manager of the B. C. Copper Company is inviting tenders for deepening the main shaft of the Motherlode mine near Greenwood. It is-proposed to sink either .100 or 200 feet deeper, but the depth will be determined for the\" present by the price oifered to do the work. The shaft is now down 325 feet and there are comparatively extensive workings at both the 200. and 300 levels. Altogether about C000 lineal feet of work have been done in the development of this mine, which, during the current year has sent nearly 50,000 tons of ore to the company's smelter at Greenwood, of which reduction works Paul Johnston is in charge. A second furnace has lately been ordered for this smelter. The company is now preparing to enter upon a more extensive plan of development to increase the output of the mine pro-' portionately to the intended enlargement of the treatment capacity pf the smelter.

REASONS' WHY CORCORAN. STEAMER ISLANDER GOES TO THE BOTTOM Sixty to Eighty Passengers Reported Lost. VICTORIA, August 18.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDThe steamer Islander, the crack passenger steamer of the Alaskan route, operated by the C. P. N. Co. of this city, struck an iceberg off Douglas island at 2 o'clock on the morning of Thursday last and went to the bottom, carrying from 65 to 80 souls, including passengers and members of the crew. Some of the.survivors arrived here this evening by the steamer Queen. They report that as the boat went down her boilers exploded, causing the death of many who might have been saved. Captain Foote was. on the bridge when the vessel struck and stayed there and went down with his steamer. Among the passengers lost on the Islander were Mrs. Ross, wife of commissioner Ross of the Yukon .territory, her child and niece; Dr. John Duncan of this city; W. G. Preston and bride, Seattle; F. Mills, Mrs. J. C. Henderson, W. H. Keating and two sons of this city and Los Angeles; J. Y. Douglas, Vancouver; Mrs. Phillips and-child, Seattle; Mr. Bfcll and Mrs. captain Nickerson; Mrs. W. Smith, Vancouver; J. A. Bleth- en, Vancouver; J. L. Wilcox, Seattle. The members of the crew lost are: Captain Foote; George Allen, third engineer; Horace Smith, second steward; S. J. Pitts, cook; two Chinese; Buck- holder and Burke, oilers; two firemen; one coal passer; night saloon watchman Kendall; Joe Beard,-second pantryman; two waiters; G. Miller, the barber; N. Law, M. P. Jock, Porter and Moran, coal passers. F. G. Hinde-Bowker, late manager of the British-American Corporation of London, who was a passenger, says: \"My. first intimation of an accident was the_ running of passengers on the deck which woke me up. I was in a cabin with Mr.: TNaugfiten. I got up. and went out of the, cabin and saw the steamer sinking at the bow. I awoke my partner and we dressed. By this time she was still lower in the water.. \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDAt the time I got out of the cabin the.water was abreast the smoking room floor. I went up on the upper deck, followed by my partner. I saw the boats' were gone and I went to a tall hanging _ davit. By this time only the stern was out of the water. I saw a raft in the water with, eight or ten people on it. I slid down the rope on to the raft and as soon as I got on the stern the steamer sank and sucked the raft and people down. We were some time under water, but I held on and-when \"it came up only two of us were left, v We \"hailed two men who were swimming and got them aboard, also a Chinaman. By this time the steamer had sunk out of sight. Many people hung on to the raft at different times, but' it was not air tight and we had much difficulty keeping afloat. We were turned over once by others climb ing on, but generally managed to right ourselves. The scene was heartrending. The boats were scattered and overcrowd- . ed 'and people were adrift begging, pleading and crying for help. We gathered lumber and made our raft float. We were picked up by one of the boats returning from shore. I cannot speak too highly of the officers and crew.\" There was $235,000 in gold'on the steamer, $100,000 of which was carried by passengers. H. H. Hart, who has spent 16 years* in the Klondike, lost $35,000 in dust. There was a heavy fog at the time, and pilot Leblanc was on the bridge, captain : Foote being at lunch. When,he heard the crash he rushed on deck and went down with the ship. Some say, however,' that he reached a raft, but .when he saw the extent of the. disaster he jumped overboard. No accurate list -of the dead will be available until the arrival of the purser on the steamer Farallone tomorrow. George McL. Brown, executive agent ,of the C. P. It., after interviewing the officers and passengers who returned, said: \"The purser_;is remaining in the . north attending to the forwarding of through passengers. It is impossible to give the exact list of those lost,, but from the fact-that 11'3 were saved, the number lost must be very much below the figures mentioned. In my opinion the loss of life will not exceed 20.\" SOUTH AFRICAN AFFAIRS KITCHENER'S PROCLAMATION AS YET HAS NO EFFECT. - Was Pardoned. - SALT LAKE, August 17.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDA special to the Tribune from Boise/Idaho says: Governor Hunt today gave out the following as his reasons for voting for the pardon of'Paul Corcoran: \"This is the first case acted upon by the board of pardons where its decision -*has=not-been=unanimous\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDT-hat>the=board= failed to reach a united decision in this case is due to the honest differences upon the merits of the question. Politics, has at no time entered into the deliberations of the board and never wiirwith my consent. Corcoran was the only man convicted out of a thousand who joined in the acts of destruction and violence in the Coeur d'Alenes in 1899. Every ringleader in that mob should have received equal punishment: In my opinion the punishment he has had is sufficient to satisfy tho demands of justice and to convince those who advocate violence and arson that the law will not tolerate such practice, and I believe that his further confinement will only continue to embitter the feeling existing in the Coeur drAlenes. The object of the penal confinement is not only to cause a wholesome respect for the law and fear among the criminal class, but its most beneficial exercise is to make a bettei' man of the person suffering such punishment. The board is fully convinced in the belief tliat Corcoran will rather aid in enforcing and observing the law hereafter than in defying it. Nearly C0O0 citizens in different parts of the state petitioned for Corcoran's pardon, which had some weight with the board. Another reason that influenced me in this case was the man's family. A woman slowly dying of grief is an appeal that I cannot look upon without sympathy, but my principal reason for.voting to pardon this man is that it will bring peace and a better feeling to prevail in a section of the state that nas been torn by disorer and murder. Many of the men who have been responsible for this condition have removed from the state. Organized labor in that \"part of the state is as firmly committed to peaceful methods as any class of people in the state, and although the violence perpetrated in its name in 1899 will always be a stain that cannot be wiped out, yet I believe that the time has come to extend the clemency in this case that the law contemplates when sufficient reason exists.\" Orange River Colony Is Comparatively Peaceful, Belligerent Boeis Having Been Driven Away.

' LONDON, August 18.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDThe effect of lord Kitchener's, or, rather, Mr. Chamberlain's proclamation is not' distinctly noticeable in South Africa. There are rumors of a renewal of negotiations between general Botha and general Kitchener, but these are probably fictitions, like the vagaries respecting Mr. Kruger's letters of marque to privateers. The number of voluntary surrenders has not increased, but it is premature to look for a result of this kind when the proclamation allows several weeks in which the Boers can reconcile them- , selves to the idea of submission. Practical military men have little confidence in the efficacy of proclamations as a peace-making agency, but admit that it =will=be=useful=to=have-=a=convenient=date= for another manifesto, withholding belligerent rights and changing the character of the military operations. There has been no material change in the situation during the last 0week. The Orange River Colony is more peaceful than any other section but this is because the country has been thoroughly cleared and the combatants have been driven north and south for ammunition and food. Four Boer commandos have been lost recently in the Transvaal and the burghers seem thoroughly dispirited. General French has the most arduous work among the Cape rebels but is gaining ground and reducing the area of hostile operations\". He is driving Kritzinger's and other commandos toward and across the Orange river into districts which liave been emptied of population and stores. There is indeed ground for a larger reserve of optimism than is displayed in the meager reference in th'e king's speech to the progress of British arms in South Africa. UNIVERSITY ATHLETIC TEAM.

The remaining events* are considered open with chances in favor of the Americans for the sprint and quarter mile and in favor of the blues for the mile and the long 'jump. SOCIETY GOSSIP.

E. D. Stokes when she' returned from abroad on the. Oceanic recently ever paid duty in this country. As a result Mrs. Stokes will probably avail herself of a clause in the law which will allow her to send the chain back to Europe, there to be dismounted by the maker. The chain will then be reimported and in the unmounted state, will pay duty of 10 per cent on the diamonds, 20 per cent on the pearls and 60 per cent on the setting. Intact the chain would call for an even duty of 60 per cent on each of the items mentioned. - The foreign value of the chain is about $3400. Mrs. Stokes is acquitted of any attempt to defraud the authorities. On her last trip from Europe she-brought in a quantity of costly apparel, jewelry and trinkets, on which she paid duties amounting to $2800. Railroad to Black Hills.

NEW YORK, August 18.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDA special from London by Isaac N. Ford and published in today's Tribune says: Court officials are enjoying the first holiday which they have had since the opening of the new reign. The king has kept them employed-in a most businesslike way and has changed all the methods and habits of the country, laying out work for everyone and insisting upon having it done with precision and dispatch. Inquiry has been ordered and new details of organization introduced: The officials accustomed to the more leisurely ways of the queen are fairly out of breath. Arrangements have been made for the coronation with painstaking care and the plans are now in pro- \"cess=of=ela;bol'ati6Tr=dunff absence on the continent. Four great officials will have charge of the coronation ceremonies. The lord chamberlain will be master of the horse and 'the earl marshal will direct the progress of the royal procession to Westminster Abbey and its return to the palace. The lord great chamberlain, and the highest court must decide who he is, will, have charge of the ceremony at the Abbey and arrangements for seating the elect among the titled and privileged few. The triumphal progress of the king and queen' on tho day after the coronation and the arrangements for entertaining special embassies and royal guests aro matters of detail already under consideration. Conditions have boen transformed since the last coronation and the ceremony has becomo vastly more difficult to arrange, owing to the increased pressure of titled and privileged people seeking admission to the abbey. Spaces have been allotted already in tlie-abbey and plans made for the accommodation of the titled classes and royal guests and the officials asserts that when the ministers, the court officials, the diplomatic corps and the colonial representatives are crowded in there will not be room for anybody else. The problem of accommodation for those who can present a valid claim to be present is pronounced in advance utterly impossible. The great majority of those who contrive to gain admission will be where they can't see what goes on. During the protracted ceremony the nave will be crowded, but effectually cut off from 'a view of the coronation service. Plans of the king for the remainder of the year are stated in many contradicted forms. Apprehension respecting his health is not well founded. Everybody who has been in touch with him asserts that his voice is strong and that he is a marvel of energy. Princess Henry of Battenberg will occupy the apartment; in St. James palace whore the duke of Cornwall and York formerly lived. The duke will have Marlborough and possibly Osborne house also as a marine residence, although the matter has not been announced publicly. There has been a rumor that the king will visit Balmoral, but this plan has al ready been made and changed several times. THE WORK OF PARLIAMENT. There is a general agreement among the moralists who are summing up the record, that it has been a session with- o'ut energy or enthusiasm and that the legislative results are unworthy of a party which\" has won a remarkable victory at the general elections. The factory amendment is the only pledge of the king's speech redeemed outside of military and naval projects, and there is a beggarly array of legislation with renewals of the agricultural rates act and the single educational clause and measures relating to the demise of the crown, the imperial title of ihe sovereign, a Pacific cable and a few small Irish projects. There have been no great debates and such interest\" as there has been in the proceedings has centered in episodes of petty by-play and factional quarrels behind the scenes. Mr. Redmond has had the only real success as a party leader, although lord Spencer has done well enough in the house of lords. The Irish party has again become \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDpowerful by virtue of unity of direction and .the enforcement;of strict discipline. The Liberals have tak'en. the place of the Nationalists.as a mob of wrangling factions and there has not been strength enough in the bow of Unionist leadership. The mace has served to. differentiate ministerial inaptitude from the turpitude and demoralization of the opposition. The final echoes from the smoking ruins of the commons are snatches of gossip about Cecil Rhodes' subscription to the Liberal party during the period of Mr. Schadhorst's management. CECIL RHODES' SUBSCRIPTION. The Spectator with a shoit letter from Mr. Rhodes and a long one from Charles Boyd returns to the attack upon sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman who must now regret the vehemence of his denial given to a well-founded statement of fact. The text of the correspondence is 'promised by Mr. Rhodes but there is no reason to doubt the fact that he subscribed \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD5000 to the Liberal political fund with the understanding that Egypt should not be abandoned and that he was reassured by Mr. Schnadhorst when he suspected \"that the money had been secured under false pretences. Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman by giving the lie unceremoniously to the Spectator and its correspondent is now placed in \"an embarrassing position. Nobody supposes that Mr. Rhodes bribed the Gladstone government to remain in Egypt by so \"meager- a subscription or that the cabinet ever discussed the subject and authorized Mr. Schnadhorst to place its policy in pawn. Consciences were not bought and sold, but colonial statesmen interested in imperialistic questions made an investment in the Liberal campaign and required and-received^ satisfaction respecting their secretaries. The disclosure is a most annoying one to tlie Radicals, who have been denouncing Mr. Rhodes as a conspirator and a disturber of the peace in South Africa and are now confronted with the evidence of his financial dealings with Mr. Schnadhorst- PARLIAMENT IS PROROGUED Comment of the Critics NEW YORK, August 18.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDParliament was prorogued today after a phenomenally dull session, during which the government has done little except replenish the war chest, while the demoralized Liberals have been sowing tho winds after plowing the sands, says the Loh- on correspondent of the Tribune. The Irislwnembei-s_hav^J^en_kept wel]_in_ hand by Mr. Redmond a\"nd \"have strengthened the home rule cause by perseverance in tactics of their own. The breach of privilege committed by the Tory Globe enable the Nationalists to vindicate their dignity after the English members had shown themselves less sensitive to partisan attacks. George Elliot Armstrong, recalled in hot haste from a holiday vacation, joined the publisher, Mr. Magde, in expressing regret for having affronted the Irish members and shared with him the burden of tho speaker's reprimand. The Nationalists affected seriousness over the offence, but were highly amused by the episode. Mr. Armstrong is a son of sir George Armstrong, sole owner of the Globe, and resigned from the navy to edit the journal. The article which is alleged to have excited the resentment of the Nationalists is alleged to'have been written by lord Mountmorrcs, whose .dther was murdered in Ireland. Mr. Balfour has driven the commons furiously this week and speaker, members, and officials are sorely jaded. The Liberal Imperialists, bracketed or otherwise, promise to take the field as soon as they have regained their breath. Mr. Asquith and sir Henry Fowler will carry on an educational campaign in the provinces without awaiting the signal from lord Rosebery in lonely Harrow. The proroguin--: of parliament today is the occasion of much comment. The Pall Mall Gazette refers to the results accomplished with notations on \"the decay of parliamentary government\" and \"the break down of the constitutional system.\" However this may be, finance was the only big thing dealt with during the session. Even the Times and the Globe point out the decline of the authority of the ministers in the house of commons. The closure has been used more frequentfy than ever before. Mr. Balfour, the government leader, has delighted the cynics by his cool unconcern in walking into the house of commons at llo'clock and breaking off debate by the closure. REPORT OF THE AUDITOR FINANCIAL CONDITION OF THE CIIY OF NELSON. Receipts and Disbursements for the Six Months Ending June 30th, 1901 ' . r The consideration of the financial results of their first six months' stewardship will be the principal business at the session of the city council this evening, when the report of the auditor will be submitted.* Although there has been' more or less talk during the past month of another debenture issue, the financial' statement of the council does not show that any such issue is necessary. The * report of the auditor shows a total expenditure of $49,786.00 for the first six months, with receipts from all sources , of $35,019.35, so that the council has' gone behind upon the flrst half year's' operations just $14,766.65; but it should be remembered that the expeditures for -the first half of the year are always heavier than those of the second half, while the revenue is very much, lighter\" than that of the second half. A glance at the heads of receipts for the past six months will show that under no* important heads can decreases be ex- *\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD pected for the second half, while in . many of the items very material in- '\" creases may be safely anticipated. For these reasons it will be safe to say that the revenue for the recond half of the - year will be fully $35,000, exclusive of\" the receipts from real estate taxes,- and __ in the aggregate should be fully $50,000.'\" Indeed this total should, be very greatly , exceeded, for accompanying the audi-- tor's report is a summary of'the out-^ standing accounts clue to the city \"tor' its several services. This summary\"/ shows $1920 due for scavenger service.''- $2463.99 as airears for taxes, $1015.65 due ' ' upon sewer rentals,* $3833.10 due for electric light rates, $1293.38 upon water' \" rates, and $595 for licenses, making a grand total of $11,121.12. \" , Whon\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDthe auditor's statement is carefully gone into by the members of the council, it is just possible that they - will see a way to complete the year without another debenture issue unless the money to be raised is for some extraordinary purpose.

In other words, the city council expended on ordinary every-day disbursements ?5000 more than they received from ordinary every-day receipts. For the six months ending December 31st they must curtail these ordinary every-day expenditures by $10,000, in order to meet tho payment of ?5000 for the new public school building and wipe out the indebtedness incurred, during the first six months. They should be able to do it. Street and sidewalk work has been suspended, which amounted to over $11,000 the first six months; the health .department should not be very expensive for the present six months, for it cost $2417.09 the first six; and donations should not be as much by $1000. It can be done, if rigid economy is practiced, and to do this expenditures that are needless should not bo made.

The Sandon Paystreak, also, has a word to say regarding the coming visit. It calls it a ponderous farce There is nothing wrong in the visit. It would not be a farce were the snobs kept in the background. Men entrusted with the responsibilities of office should, as often as is consistent with the proper performance of their official duties, visit the people whose servants they are. It is only by visits, such as he is now making, that the heir apparent can gain a true estimate of the greatness of the British Empire and the people -,\ ho make the empire great. But the snob is everywhere, and the greater number of them are always iu evidence when a person of distinction is to be shown attention. . West Is at Fault. Eastern Canada does not deserve a lecture from such journals as the Vancouver Province on the sin of indifference to the evils of Japanese immigration. When British Columbia really wakes up, Eastern Canada will not be asleep. Western Canadians need not take the advice bf the Vancouver Province and dump a few Japanese toilers on the Toronto and Montreal market in order to bring home the blessings of Oriental labor to the voters east of Lake Superior. Japanese immigration will cease the minute that British Columbia goes to the polls and votes for its cessation. Eastern Canada may be excused for scepticism as to the grievances of a people who tolerate such editorial shufflers as the Vancouver Province and pin their faith to the deaf, dumb, and blind partisanship of Aulay Morrison, Ralph Smith, E. G. Prior, G. R.

In order to better understand the city's receipts and disbursements, both should be divided into two heads. The receipts should be di'/id*d as coming from ordinary revenue and from taxes that arc payable once a year. Under the flrst head would be grouped licenses,'police court fines, miscellaneous, electric light rates, water rates, scavenger rates, and weigh scale receipts. To these might be included dog taxes, burial permits, and supplies sold. These sources yielded the city $32,739.53 for the six months ending June 30th last. Under the second head should be grouped real estate taxes, sewer rentals, and road taxes. These three sources yielded ?227!).S2 during the same time. For the six months ending December 31st next, the receipts from the sources included under the first head should not be less than for the six months ending June 30th last, and the receipts from the sources included under the second head should be greatly increased, as the taxes for 1901 have not been paid, nor have tiie sewer rentals, and the bulk of the road taxes for the year remain unpaid. The sums realized from these three sources of revenue should meet all interest and sinking fund requirements for the entire year. This would leave the revenue from the sources under the first head to be used for ordinary disbursements. Tlie ordinary disbursements for the six- months ending June 30th last total $37,692.91. This includes every expenditure made fo.r the police department, scavenger department, fire department, health department, city hall salaries, do- Was Not a Case of Suicide. The Fort; Steele Prospector gives the following account of the finding of the body of-the late Charles Clark, collector of customs at Fort Steele: \"On Monday last the mystery relating to the disappearance _ of Charles Clark was in some degree'solved by 7the finding of the body inrthe river nearly two miles below .town.; Coroner Watt having been notified, went down and made an examination of the body, concluding that it was unnecessary to hold an inquest. Decomposition had advanced considerably, and it was not easy, owing to this condition\";'of the body; to come to positive conclusions--as to the exact cause of death., But an extensive discoloration of one side of the head, face and shoulder, caused more probably previous to death, lends great likelihood to a theory _no~w7advanced_as__to__the_jnoclo of death. It is certain that Mr. Clark had expressed a wish to go over the river to' see the operation of two mowing machines in R. L. T. Galbraith's hayfield; and he had probably left home with that intention on the day of his disappearance. ' He was observed and spoken to on the high bank behind the Imperial hotel and near the trail or steps leading down to the 'bridge! Proceeding to cross the bridge, the day being very hot, he was probably seized with a sudden faintness: or spasm of tho-heart, and leaning ovor the railing lost his balance and fell, striking one of the piers, and being thus stunned, dropped- into the river. All the facts of the case, as carefully searched out, and the condition of tho body as above described, make it all but certain that this was the mode of death.\" KOOTENAY GOFFEE GO.

In addition to giving employment to an army.of men on the actual labor works- at Beechaven, the Irish people say it is quite within the bounds of probability that the completion of these works will lead to important railway developments. Certainly a harbor.at'Beechaven would be of no 'use tb tlie Atlantic liners without an express railway\";'service to Dublin or some other port .on the east coast of Ireland, from wliei'e the passengers could make tlieir way rapidly to London.

The women of this sign e born leaders. The men draw irre- ;stibly toward war and politics, and '\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDnerally carry a throng of satellites th them. Henry Clay, Bismarck and liakespeare all belong to this sign. * * Of the months of the year, June Id July should prove most congenial the successful development of Aries terests, and it is advisable that aU filcult transactions and precarious un- wtakings should be referred as much possible to these months.

April 19th to May 20th.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDPeople born tween these dates enter life under the [didance of the mighty Taurus, a strong. -ed, earthly sign, bequeathing to its '\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDoteges a wealth of sterling attribute*- at can scarcely fail of success: rIThese people a're the sturdy oaks or jciety. But even the sturdy oak is nol ''dependent of outside forces; it \"must \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD:*aw sustenance from earth, air and ater. And so with the assimilative !ind of Taurus. It is not independent \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD original, but must draw inspiration om the minds of other men. Theirs is 1 e power that Emerson alludes to when * says: \"Great genial power consists uot being original at all; in being _ altogether receptive.\" And these people above all others are capable of receiving and successfully maturing the half-formed plans of their less executive fellow-men. They are the Realists who bring to happy fruition the visionary schemes of Idealists. In a word, they are the practical, useful, dependable people of the earth. They are seldom talkative, however, nor are they likely txr soar to\" any great heights of imagination, for tlieir knowledge lies deep and-does not come readily to the surface.4 * * * But people of more superficial signs soon learn to rely upon these sturdy proteges of Taurus for mental, moral and physical .support. * * * To Taurus belonged Huxley, Wellington and John Stuart Mill. . May 20th to June 21st.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDPersons waking to light during tnis period take their inheritance from the sign Gemini, an airy, barren, changeable sign,, indicating a variable nature and changeful existence: These people are usually a bewildering combination!*) of contradictions and seem possessed of two distinct natures. Their friends find it difficult to know -upon'which of them to depend. * * * They love and they don't love; they are happy and unhappy; they wish to give and they wish to retain. They are filled with unrest, and long to be away, to do something or be something, though they seldom know what. As poets, artists, teachers,' intellectual leaders, or after-dinner speakers they excel. Many famous wits have been born under this sign, among them Alexander Pope and Ralph Waldo Emerson. Their quick, restless minds find expression with such aptness and rapidity its to astonish even themselves. June 21st to July 22d.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDThe-Romans dedicated the radiant-month of June to Luna, .the- moon goddess. Persons, born during the latter half of this fickle month, or the earlier half of July enter life under the doubtful influence of the sign Cancer, a watery, tropical, changeable sign, indicating a wavering of character and a complexity of good and bad- attributes .that are apt to result in a very unusual manner- in life, and render these people wholly incomprehensible to the larger humanity: These people, though gifted in many directions to the verge of genius, like senilis, they are alluring, unstable, never Quite defined. They are the people whom\" Emerson describes as \"having no next. They live from hand .to mouth without plan, and after each 'action they wait. cor an impulse from abroad.'\" * * * But neither broad-minded nor open to conviction, they seldom progress. Like the slow, conservative Chinese empire (which is under this sign), they retire within themselves at the, first hint of change or improvement. They invariably construe any attempt made for their advancement into a personal reflection upon their own capability, and become moody and melancholy in consequence. \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD * ;*; In the words of Le Gaillienne, they are \"a curious mixture of'dream and illusion.\" John Jacob Astor belongs'to this sign. \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\".'. July 22d to August 22d.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDPersons entering life during this period take their inheritance from the magnetic Leo, a fiery, commanding, changing sign, gov- .erning^tho^heat^ofJife^and^radiating^ life and warmth: These . people are generous, sympathetic, kind-hearted and impulsive to a dangerous degree. Let impulse once be coupled with their inborn courage, and determination, and they rush to alarming extremes, unmindful of the cost. Quick intuition alone may sometimes enable them to avert the deserved consequence of their foolhardiness. With them argument is useless. They act from the heart, not from the head, and are managed only through love or sympathy. * * * Like tlie late Mr. Vanderbilt, these people arc \"not lazy, but constitutionally opposed to physical exertion.\" Robert Ingersoll was a protege of this sign; also Napoleon, Sarah Sid- ddns and innumerable social leaders, orators and actors\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDpersons who were in their element only when dealing with humanity in its broader sense and winning the plaudits of the world at large. August 22d to September 23d.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDPeople born during this period enter life under the influence of the sign Virgo, an earthly, barren sign, indicating a materialistic, matter-of-fact turn of mind, a keen insight into human nature and a cold-blooded estimate of life and the things of life: These people are qualified for success in various directions, becoming successful chemists, lawyers, designers, scholars, philosophers, journalists, novelists, or politicians; the latter because of an inborn aptitude for sounding public opinion. Goethe belonged to this sign, also Eugene Field. * * * An amusing inconsistency in the lives of these people is their absolute helplessness to cope with the family feuds and misunderstandings that they themselves have unwittingly created. * * * The most helpful' marital relations are possible for them, however, for they inherit a genuine love of home and family. * * Epieurean in their faith as well as in their tastes, they take little account of their future state, preferring to get all they can out of the present. Yet, as life advances, the idealism of their nature sometimes so develops as to lift them far above the lonely plane at which they started. * * * These people are seldom extensive travelers. * * They are far more active in mind than in body.

To this sign belonged innumerable jurists, generals and leaders of people. * * * Born leaders, these men are bad followers. * * * Many of the world's famous actors and actresses have taken their origin in this sign, among them Sarah Bernhardt,- Peg Woffington and Mme. Modjeska. * * * The men in Libra excel in constancy to the few whom they' love, fop. it is no more in their nature to scatter their affection than to scatter their force. Having once made their choice, they are content to .\"follow Love's folding star to the evening land.\" October 23d to November 22d.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDPersons born during the latter half of October or .the earlier half of November draw unto themselves the vibratory influence of the sign Scorpio, a fixed, nocturnal, southern sign, indicating a moody, determined, commanding nature, destined to strange vicissitudes of fortune, but recognizing no obstacles: It matters little what pursuit these people elect to follow so long as they are the head. Theirs is the motto of Lucifer himself: '.'Better- to: reign in hell than serve in heaven.\". It is impossible- for them to .fill subordinate positions with any marked degree of success.. In1 the first place they are too entirely selfish to work conscientiously in the interests of another; in.the second place,.they have very decided convictions as to the way life and most of its affairs should be conducted. * * * Richard the Third, Murie Antoinette and many dark figures iri. the world's history of-blood' and crime, drew inheritances from the violent sign of Scorpio, and all - proteges of the period invariably drift toward places of fire,- blood and tragedy.

Nelson, on the other hand, took it for granted that $5000 was all she need expect from the government for a new building and chipped in the other $5000 herself. The Mail article reads: - \"Hon. J. D. Prentice, minister of education, was in the city Monday and spent most of the day in session with the school board and Thomas Taylor, M.P.P.*, on business in connection with the erection of the new school buildings for which a grant or $8000 was made at. the last session of the legislature. Mr. Prentice promised to at once put in hand the erection of an eight room frame structure with a stone foundation, four rooms of which would be completed at an expenditure to come within the limit of:- the grant. The trustees, however, held out l'or a brick building .estimated to cost when completed about $15,000, which would necessitate the raising of another $7000, of which amount Mr. Taylor feels confident that at the next session he can procure the greater portion. With this assurance the board dicided to allow the matter to stand over for the present, in the hope .that next spring there will be an appropriation sufficient tb undertake the erection of a building which they consider would meet with the approval of the citizens. The present grant of.$8000 does not lapse until September of next year.\" Mining Records. There was but one location recorded at tho Nelson record oflice Saturday.

This was an action to enforce an adverse in which McDonald as the owner of the Cristine was adversing the owners of the Cube mineral claim. McDonald lost the suit and the sheriff has now seized his interest ip the Cristine to secure taxed costs of $20.0. The Athabasca company has engineers at work running a trial line for the tramway by which it is proposed to connect the Venus mine with the Athabasca mill. This may be taken to moan that no time will be,lost in the amalga^ mation of the two properties and resuming work. At the Venus there is said to be sufficient ore blocked out to keep the Athabasca running at its utmost capacity for the next two years. The Venus ore does not carry the same values as the Athabasca but it is much more easily mined and is expected to yield even better returns, The large elephant with the circus gave a young man quite a scare yesterday. The young man had been warned by the attendant several times to keep at a distance, but without, effect, as he kept crowding in to inspect things. A miniature pony is among the circus animals, and between it aud the elephant a remarkable friendship bas existed for some time. The young man who knew it with 12G tons, the Hewitt with 100 tons, the Arlington with 70 tons, the American Boy with 01 tons, the Last Chance with 40 tons, the Enterprise with a carload, and the Noble Five with 16 tons. The Last Chance tunnel is in 1700 feet, and the face is supposed to be within-50 feet-of tlie ledge on the Qalena, and it should be tapped within two *,veeks. This will give a depth on the vein of 1G00 feet, the deepest workings in the Slocan. The American Boy owners have.built a wagon road to the Last Chance, so as to be able to ship over the tram at that mine. In one month 100 \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDtons of ore was marketed, that brought $100 to the ton. There is enough ore blocked out in sight which would take two years for the present staff to handle. The development work and stoping is being carried on so as to have the mine in a position to ship steadily. Dr. Hendryx, who is managing the Last Chance in the absence of Mr. Heap, is said to be buying the Jo Jo, a dry ore proposition on the north fork of GoZr- penter creek, in which Tom Trenary 13 tlie heaviest owner, J. D. Kendall, the mining engineer, was expected at Silverton on Saturday. He is consulting engineer of the Emily Edith Company, and it is likely that the question of building a concentrator for the Emily Edith mine will be settled during his stay, There are iS5 men on the Queen Bess payroll HOW SCHOOL BUILDINGS ARE Going to Be Built. The Revelstoke Mail of Saturday shows how the money appropriated for public school buildings throughout the province is being manipulated by the minister of education, It might be stated in this connection that no specific ap- priations were made for > public school buildings at the the last session of the legislature. A lump sum was appropriated, and of this lump sum Revelstoke was down for $5000, Rossland $7500, and Nelson for $5000. When the atten- Winters Tells of His Wort: \"I have committed the greatest robbery of this century. I had an opportunity \Q steal a large sum frpm *r. rich man, and unaided, I took advantage of the opportunity. I thought out and,executed the plan myself. 1 neither stoop to smalt things nor rob the poor. They suy that I committed a theft at Stoekton. That Is a lie. When I plan a robbery I plan a big one. Monday evening, when.! took the bullion out of tlie vault at the smelter, I did the hardest work of my life, it took me the whole night to finish drilling through the bottom of the safe and to carry away the gold. I\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD there- had been more time I would have tuken the $130,000 I left, behind me. Daylight came too soon. When I saw that I would havo =fo~~^IlT'rTffoppeci-tlIe\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDtwo bars on- tlie\" beach. I preferred to lose them rather.than risk losing the whole of the quarter of a million. It took me six weeks to dig the tunnel under the vault and two nights to get through the brick foundation. I did large part of the drilling the last night and forced through the bottom of the vault. Then I climbed into the vault and threw clown about half the gold. I carried the gold to the outer end of the tunnel and went back and threw down the rest. Then I began to carry off the gold. \" I made fourteen trips from my tunnel to the warf, where I lowered the bullion into the bay, [ made a mark opposite where I dropped each bar, so that I could readily find them when 1 was ready. I planned the robbery very well, but spoiled it all by leaving my pistol and that package of tacks in my cabin. It is too bad, but it can't bo helped now. The detectives didn't have the \"dope\" on me. The shovel I u.**ed I threw into the bay. I didn't ii.s.e that electric light they found. If they had looked they would have seen that it waa burned out and wouldn't make a light. I used a little patent bicycle gas lamp to light the tunnel. \"Tho fact that I burned my clothes did not appeal - to mc as strange, because I \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD had boen for years and years in tho habit of burning my old clothes. The shovel that they found in my cabin, had been there for .(_evcr_i._ years, and I (lid not use It in digging the tunnel. The marks they said were made by my spade were made by another Implement, which I threw into the water. I planned how I would get rid of the bullion, without bringing suspicion on myself long bofore I committed the robbery. I planned to remove the gold from the bay a bar at a time. I had Intended to melt the \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD gold, to mix- it with an alloy and to dispose of it in quantities that would bring me about $10,000. Jt would have been a very easy matter, at intervals of several months to sell tho gold at different places. I intended to take several years in disposing of the bullion. \"rf my plan had been successful to the end, and if I had gained the wealth that I stole, T would have not spent it in rich display, but would have lived frugally and simply as I do now. I would probably have traveled in foreign countries. I had no fixed idea in my mind when I stole the gold Superintendent's Story. Speaking of the robbery at tho Selby smelting works near San Francisco, superintendent Van der Kopp said to a reporter recently: \"At 7 o'clook last Tuesday morning, two hours after the vault was opened, I knew that Winters was the man who did the job. Four men saw him about tho smoltcr and immediately reported tho fact to me as soon as the robbery became known. Besides, AVinters' actions for some time previous had been the subject of much comment. On the\" morning of the robbery I said that the missing gold was not further from the smelter than I could twice throw a stone. I never changed my opinion. The events of today have proved that my Idea was correct. The sleuths have been strutting and bragging and claiming all. the honor of the capture of Winters> \"when Crockett people know that tlieir pretensions were presumptious, as the man who really solved tho mystery was an humble employee, who named AVinters within an hour after the vault was opened on Tuesday. Peter Donaldson is the man who lirst thought that Winters committed tlie crime, and many people here believe he should share in the reward, at least to the extent of some of the detectivs who had nothing to do but to try weave to about the suspect a chain of circumstantial evidence. Donaldson is a quiet, industrious man and his experience as a Sherlock Holmes has been \"succesi*[irl but unfortunate. As a reward for his services in pointing out AVinters' and keeping a watch on the man on the morning of the' robbery, Donaldson was placed under suspicion and a pretense made of 'sweating'' him.' He was never told of the real value of his services, which\" would have mado the reputation ot a detective. AVe have not mado any promise of clemency lo Winters, nor have we offered him any money for telling us whore he had hidden the gold bars. This you can state emphatically. I know many 'people have said that we were going to compromise with the robber. All the money wo shall pay out for the recovery of our bullion is the $25,000 which we offered and whicli we will pay as soon as it can be settled who is entitled to it.\" Al this point the superintendent's smile became a laugh. \"I expeot. we shall have a gay time dcldins to whom the reward muMt be paid,' he said. \"How shall you settle it?\" was asked. - \"Oh, we shall not have to settle it, thank goodness!\"- he replied. \"We'll take no part whatsoever in airy dispute that may arise. \"If there is not an amicable agreement as to the distribution of the money we shall put it in escrow and let them fight for it. I am particularly anxious not to seem to favor any one particular or any particular set of men. All have worked hard and faithfully and havo accomplished wonders. I knew Just about where AVinters had hidden the stuff. It you will remember, I placed a watchman on.guard at this plnoo where we are now taking out our bullion, =and=kep\"t=him==bri==duty=jiist^t^tlfa't^spof until -the police assumed charge of the case.\" I did this because I was afraid AAln- ters had accomplices and that they might come and take the stuff out of the water. \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD Still,, the detectives did a. great dear of hard work, and I think that all the men who took part in the case should get a share of the money. They are very welcome to ti.\" \"When did AVinters finally make his confession?\" was asked. \"That,\" saitl .Mr. A*an der Ropp, \"is one of the questions I must not answer.\" \"AVas it yesterday afternoon?\" \"Well, I shouldn't bother to guess any mure.\" Then he laughed. \"I can tell you this: He made his confession to mo and captain Lees and captain Seymour. It was very brief. He merely said he had taken the bullion, and he told us how he had done it. It waa a remarkable sight to see thoso detectives diving in the Icy cold water, while old captain Lees stood 011 shore and sent them in again and again. I was Anally obliged to tell him that he must let detective Crockett come out of the water, as I was afraid he would get pneumonia. 'Not much, said the old man; let him stay in.'
