"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.

San Francisco Company Witli an Unpronounceable Name-Are the Purchasers The deal on the Speculator group, adjoining the Arlington, oil Springer creek, in the Slocan City division, was closed in Nelson yesterday by the payment of $49,000 by J. Frank, Collom at the Bank of Montreal, who throughout the negotiations has represented a San Francisco company known as the Ricowilabi Mining Company, the stockholders in which include R. P. Rithet of Victoria and a number of wealthy men of San Francisco, the name of the company being arrived at by the inclusion of the first couple of letters in the name of each. The bond upon the Speculator group was taken just a year ago by J.\"Frank Collom, the terms of the bond \"calling for the payment of $55,000, of which 5 per cent was cash, 5 per cent in six months, and the balance in 12 months. This left $40,500 to bo paid at the end of the year, but the receipts from two small ore shipments brought this final payment down to about an even $49,000, which .was turned over to the owners of. the group yesterday. \"The claims embraced were the Speculator, Speculator Fraction (staked in .the survey), ., Mineral Mountain, Eda Fraction. Empire and Westside. The vendors of the .property were Kirkwood,,of Slocan; Thomas \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDKilpatrick, superintendent of \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD the Mountain division of the Canadian Pacific, Reyelstoke; C.;\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD___). Smitheringaio, editor of the'Slocan Drill, and A. Tunics, a prospector, of New Denver, the two first mentioned getting away with the bulk of the purchase price. At the time the bond was taken upon the property the work done upon it . consisted of a number of open cuts by ground sluicing and one short pros-, pecting tunnel. The Speculator, wii\" is the best known of the claims, is.the original location in that neighborhood of Springer creek, the -Arlington prop-, erty, which- has since .become'famous,- being virtually-an\" extension of it. Since taking the\" bond'Mr. Collom has kept a large crew of men employed ih development, and upon, the completion of the bond .his force is numbering 34 men. The amount spent in development is upwards of $30,000 to date. The work done upon the. group has disclosed that there are two parallel Icdges-upon it, while others are hei \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD to be on the ground. The work performed by the. original owners was dona upon what has since become known as the No. 2 vein. Upon this vein Mr. Collom ran a 200-;foot tunnel, a short distance from the breast of which he sank a double compartment winze to a depth of 70 feet. This Work was later abandoned for the time,being owing to the inability of the development syndicate to secure the delivery of a hoisting plant, which got tied up in the strikes which at present have disorganized \"all branches of industry on the other side of__tho_international_line. At^.the_sam'_c_ time, as this work was being carried on, a drift was started in from the creek, on a showing which was thought to be on the same ledge, but which subsequent work disclosed to be a parallel one, and now known as the No. 1. When this drift had been continued for a considerable distance, a cross-cut was commenced and run for 98 feet west from the bottom of tlie winze on the No. 2 vein and cut the No. 1 ledge, thus connecting the two ledges. This No. 1 vein is now regarded as the most important on the property, as it is clearly the vein upon \"which the greater part of the work has been done imon the Arlington. Upon it Mr. Collom has run upwards of 1000 feet of a drift, with upraises and .cross-cuts to determine the width and extent of the ore chutes, which occur in lateral lenzes through a ledge varying in width from 15 to 20 feet, the ore c-irrying very high silver values, with a very small percentage in lead.' On the Eda Fraction a shaft has been sunk for 50 feet, from the bottom of which a cross-cut has been run, showing the ledge to be 52 feet in width at this point. An upraise is to be made connecting this shaft with the long drift run in on the No. 1 vein. About a month ago work was started on a cross-cut from the west side of the north fork of Springer, below where the cross-cut was run to connect the No. 2 and No. 1 from the bottom of the winze in the No. 2 tunnel. This crosscut cut the vein at a distance of 1G8 feet from the surface, and drifts upon the ledge are now being; run. Some very quick work was ,:dphe\" on this crosscut, the men making between six and eight feet to the shift. Besides this work there has been a great deal done in the way of surface work by the ground sluicing, and vein tracing, the No. 1 vein having been traced clear through the Speculator group Qf three claims from the Arlington and on into the Ohio group. There is ore showing in all the openings in the Speculator, but there has not been sufficient work done to determine the depth of the ore bodies. 'Two small shipments of ore were made to the Nelson smelter last spring and the returns are' said to have, been in the neighborhood of $50, chiefly in silver.

Both Michael, Jock and Norman Law, sons of TI. S. Law of Alberni, waiters, some reports, say, arc to be added to the\" hit of dead, having been reported saved in the first instance.. The-quartermasters who were at the\" wheel at the time corroborate the statement of pilot Le Blanc as to ice having been seen and also as to the condition of the weather and. they reiterate the stories of .the coolness of the officers and crew and cf the efforts to save the'passengers tit thn \"risk of tlieir * own lives. - Second' mate Powell1 has modified\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD hio statement that a man on a raft drew a revolver and threatened him- and captain Foote in his efforts to get them to leave the raft, and he'now says that the man simply threatened them and did not draw a revolver. But the man accused. A. C. Beach, a member of the first.Canadian contingent, has come forward and says he was the man who threatened to shoot any one who attempted to. board the raft, saying in justification that.the raft was already overloaded and 'that he did not have a life preserver on while'the others did. He admits having tried to throw a Chinaman off the raft because he was rolling from side to side and causing ui-3 raft to capsize. He says captain Foote was sitting on the raft smoking a pipe which he had handed- him when the raft capsized, and ho (the captain) swam away to a spar. Captain Ferry, one of* the quartermasters, says whon the doors o the bunkers were .closed., vo ~\"*p\"devcnt\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDthe-inflow of water there were eleven stowaways in there passing coal and they were taken down in the ship. The chief engineer who ordered the bunkers closed did not know that theso men were still in the bunkers. The women, the captain says, acted splendidly and after they reached , shore worked to restore those who were brought in afterwards. Captain- Harris, formerly a sealing captain and latterly on one of the Yukon river steamers, was coming down as a passenger. He was with captain Foote in the dining hall when the ship struck and says'- that the report that the captain was drunk or that anybody was the worse for liquor is absolutely false. He wa3 on the bridge up to 12:30 with captain Le Blanc and verifies the pilot's statement as to the condition of the weather. When the ship struck he went on the bridge with the captain and heard him give his orders in the coolest possible manner. When the boats were lowered captain Harris went to the port side, as the second mate had not yet beeu called, and he says that every person who was in sight was taken to the boat, he being the last one to leave. As to what happened on the starboard side he is unable to say. . Every life that was possible to save, he says, was saved. The stewards did their utmost to awaken passengers, second steward Fowler giving up his life in the effort, but the captain thinks many did not realize their danger and went down as they slept. As others presented themselves there was room for them in the port boats. S. Applebaum of Dawson says that, he does not think that ail the passengers were aroused and he adds that there was a lack of discipline. Andrew Keating and his 'two* sons of Los Angeles and this city were not seen after the ship struck and it is thought' that they slept through it all. The Islander was insured for $100,000 but the company estimates that they lost $b0,- 000 by the disaster and besides lose their best steamer just as business ic getting good. The census of the north will have to be taken over again as the list was'ioat with the boat in the wreck. Two suspects are under arrest at Un- alaska as murderers of the Sutherland brothers.

A fatal accident occurred at the Silver King mine on Monday night, which- cost Curtis Brott his life. The victim of the accident was employed as a machine man and with John Bolitho was at work in running a drift from \"the ninth station in the main shaft. A cage forms the easiest means of exit from these stations to the fifth level, and as the drifts have not been run in very far as yet it is the practice for the men when firing a round of holes to give a blasting signal to the engineer in charge of the hoist just before firing, and when .the fuse is started to ascend to the fifth station. At about 10:30 .on Monday night \"Bolitho and his partner were ready to fire their rouiid of shots. A few-moments before, however; Brott made a trip to the fifth level for something or other. When he got down to the station where he;and his partner we're working the latter told him to give the engineer the signal for blasting, which was four bells. Brott went to the hoist and a \"minute later announced to Bolitho that everything was all right. The two men then made their way to the cage and' Brott gave a one bell signal, which in the mining code used at the mine simply means a free cage. He then remembered that he had failed to. give the blasting signal as instructed by Bolitho and so informed his partner. This placed boch men in a very dangerous position.- as they were thus robbed of.the attention of the engineer, .which would have been theirs had they given the blasting signal, and being in danger in their; position on the hoist they became somewhat excited. In response to the seignal of one bell the engineer raised the hoist a few feet to clear it of the station and then wishing to oil some portion of the machinery he dropped it back down .part ..of-the'way,'.though not quite to the station. In their excitement the men on the hoist gave another signal of one bell, but this being but a repetition of the signal that the cage was free the engineer did not pay much attention to it. The men; in it were by this time thoroughly frightened, but Bolitho, who was the cooler of the two, told BroU Lo give a three bell signal which' meant the hoisting* of the t-age to the surface. The engineer heard this signal, but not having received any notice that there was a blast going off he proceeded leisurely to throw the hoist into gear and comply with th\" signal. In feat of the shots, wliich were, expected to go off every moment, the seconds which took the engineer to start the cage seemed minutes. Brott, who by thio time was very nervous, announced his intention of getting out of the cage and getting out of harm's way by going up the ladder. Bolitho cautioned him against this, but Brott thought it was safer than by remaining on the cage. He started, but about the same time th** cage commenced to move up. Brott the;* tried to get back into the cage but was ^caught-^between^-the\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDtimbers\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDand\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDthe cage across the upper portion of his body. A few groans were the only sounds that came from the victim us his life was beiug crushed out. Thij engineer noticed that, something was wrong with the hoist and stopped it. Brott was by this time tightly wedged in and Bolitho gave a two bell signal to lower the cage in order to free the body. The engineer responded and ai the cage came down and freed the body it slipped under it and falling to the ninth station bounded on down to the sump .about 125 feet below. Bolithio then signalled three bells and was La- ken up to the fifth station, where he reported that his partner had fallen down the shaft. When the body was taken to the surface it was found that the back was broken, as were both legs and one of the armn. Coroner Arthur was at once notified of tho accident and yesterday morning proceeded to the mine, where a jury composed of M. J. McGrath, Richard Baxendale, George Popejoy, J. E. West- over, Samuel Roach and J. P. Stevens were impaneled. After hearing the evidence, which bore out the circumstances as above related, the jury returned a verdict of accidental death, through the negligence of the deceased in not giving the proper blasting signals as instructed by his partner. The victim of the accident had not been employed at the mine very long but was a general favorite He was about 40 years of age and leaves a widow and five small children in Brac***- bridge, Ontario. He was a member of the L. O. L. and it is thought of the Foresters and other societies. The mine will be closed down today to enable the men to attend the funeral, which will take place this afternoon at 3 o'clock from the Miners' Union hall. Importing a Contractor SPOKANE, August 20.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDIf plans which are under way mature work will soon be started again with all vigor in tho ! Le Roi and other mines at Rossland, under the management of Bernard McDonald. Al Geiser of Baker City, Oregon, passed through Spokane yesterday on his way home after inspecting the situation at Northport and at Rossland. Mr. Geiser is a well-known mine operator -who formerly owned a part of the famous Bonanza near Sumpter. He was an old friend of Bela Kadesh, manager of the Northport smelter, who formerly ran a sampling plant at Baker City. Mr. Geiser announced in Spokane yes- tenlny that lie is planning to take a contract for working the Ross I a rid \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDnines. He said he would also take a contract for furnishing the Northport smelter with about;300 tons of lime rock a day. Mr. Geiser1 made the trip north in order to get exact information as to the situation there, before iinally_decid- ing on the terms which he will offer. He was furnished by manager McDonald with a full list of the; prices paid for labor in \"all parts of the mine.' \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD Mr. Geiser's object, as he tells it, is ari extraordinary one. He would take a contract from the mining companies to operate-their properties outright. Then he would go ahead with the mining just as if he owned the properties. .-He' believes that he would not have any trouble with the union at Rossland, because the miners would'be working for him and not for the companies. The present strike by the miners is chiefly a sympathetic one, brought; about through the* action of the Le.R'oi company toward the Smeltermen's .Union at Northport. Therefore Mr. Geiser expects that he would have no trouble .in getting the union men to work for him. It is not known what his attitude would be toward hiring miners by contract or on straight wage basis. In talking over the mucker situation, Mr. Geiser said: : \"It seems to me thatthe rate of $2.50 per day is ample for'a mucker. A farm laborer works 16 hours a day for a dollar and his board. The mucker in Rossland camp works eight hours for $2.50 a day. I do not see why more than $2.50 per day should be paid for mucking in Rossland.\" Briber Arrested.

The boat's register has not yet been recovered, but it is certain the death list will number 17 and perhaps 22. An official investigation will be made, as it seems that the most culpable carelessness caused the catastrophe. A. A. Peck, the pilot, says the engineer deserted his post and that he could not manage the boat without'the engine's help. The engineer denies this and asserts that he remained at the throttle until the water was waist deep Frank Enders, one of the passengers, corroborated by several others, declares that the effort to land brought the side of the boat around so that the wind struck it with full force There had been almost a gale blowing for 10 minutes and one man who could not swim went to the pilot house and begged the pilot to land When he did finally consent to land the hurricane struck the boat as it swung around in a position least able to resist it Early this morning the work of searching for the remains began, the party being led by Charles Graham, county clerk,'and Luther Graham, his brother, whose sister was among the drowned. Three bodies were recovered in the forenoon. The boat is being dismantled in order that the dead, may-be reached. A revised list of the dead as the r** sult of the sinking of the river steamer City of Golconda last night is as follows: Miss May Fleming, Birds vii h- Miss Lizzie Graham, Grahamsville; Miss Lucy Barnett, Smilhland; Miss Trixie Grimes, Grahamsville; Mrs. W.

The shutting down of the two plants adds about 1,SOO men to the force of strikers. The success u: the labor organizers in getting the men out cheered the other strikers to a high pitch of enthusiasm. Tho officials of the National Tube Company would not discuss the strike, beyond saying that they have been keenly disappointed throughout the strike by' the atti tude of their men and that they hope that in time they will come to their senses and come back. They will probably start'the Star tin mills'in this city and increase the force at 'the Lindsay and McCutcheon mills.

She has always been very popular with the mill men, ana the pickets say thoy would rather face a regiment of soldiers than do anything improper in her presence. They say that in time of peace it was she who nursed their families and that the;, cannot interfere'with her or the men she escorts. The steel manager.* are also arranging for more men for Lhe Painter and Monesson mill. Viril Preston,', representing president Schwab, is here today. Mr. Preston and the oi'.i- cials whom he met would not talk Tor publication. Tlie strikers met lhe move ment to reopen the mills with nonunion men with tho claim that it will be simply impossible to secure a sufficient quantity of skilled men to operate them. The men here declared Llic> are standing firm and must be consulted before the mills run. They say they have the situation well in hand and despite the alleged danger of the strike getting top heavy continue their work of organization with a view of crippling more plants belonging Lo the corporation. They claim the Chicago men will in the end come out and tliat there is no danger of the Joliet men going back- to work.

SPRINGFIELD, Missouri, August 20.\" \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDPierce City, where William Godley and Geroge Carter, colored, were lynched last night in connection with the murder of Miss Gazelle Wyld, is today in the hands of hundreds of armed men who are intent on driving all negroes from town. All \"negro houses -in this city are being fired by the enraged whites. One negro, Peter Hampton, is said to have been cremated in his home. The mob broke into the arsenal of the local militia company and is now in possession of improved rifles. So much excitement prevails that it is almost: impossible to secure over the wires a connected- stoiy of the outbreak. Correspondents have started from here for the scene. Most of the negroes have left Pierce City and abandoned their-homes, which have been burned. A report was sent out that two negroes in addition to Godley and Carter were lynched \"early today. This is denied. George Larke, a porter on the St. Louis and Saii Francisco railway, whom Carter charged with being Miss Wyld's murderer, was arested in Springfield this morning and is in jail here.: Larke declares his iririd- \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD- ceucc and says the man who committed the crime boarded with him and fled. Bloodhounds were put on the trail at the scene of the murder and went directly, it is said, to Larke's home. * Eugene Barred, a negro suspect, has told that a man named Fiaveis, ?/fhor formerly bearded with Larke/ was*the' real murderer of Miss Gazelle Wyld, in connection with which murder William Godley, and Gene Carter,; colored, _ were lynched last night. Flavers is said to bo under arrest at Tulsa, 1. T.. over the territory line from here, and Barrett is under arest at Mount Vernon, 25 miles from Pierce City. Flavers undoubtedly will be lynched if brought back. It is not believed Barrett will be molested. The excitement which led up to-the lynching of Godley continued . all night and this morning found the enraged white people preparing to rid the city and vicinity of negroes.'\".\"After stringing young Godley iip to a pole and riddling his body with bullets, the mob went to the house of French Godley. the young man's grandfather, and shot ;him dead. They then bombarded -Ike . Carter's houso, in which were Peter and Robert Hampton, all negroes. Peter Hampton, who was 75 years old, was burned to death, when the -house^ was set on fire. His wife and Robert Hampton escaped through the flames. The mob then marched from place to place burning negro houses and firing into them. The negroes fled in all directions, many taking refuge in the woods, while others are coming as far as Springfield to find places of safety. The authorities telephoned Monetta, a nearby town, for help, but at 10 o'clock this morning the city was still in the hands of the mob. which finally broke into the arsenalof the Pierce City militia com- _pany__and_abstractcd\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD all rifles\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDstored\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD there. Every train to Pierce City is bringing in excited whites that add to the general confusion. The report sent out last night that a boy was shot is denied today and tlie name of the man shot today is given as French Godley, instead of E. A. Carter, as previously stated.

The cost of freight and treatment is deducted from the value of the ore hefore the tax is levied. It is generally admitted that the cost of mining Boundary ores is as low as $1 a ton in some of the mines. The average cost of freight and treatment is said to be ?3.75 a ton. This leaves the man who mines $5 ore a profit of 25 cents a ton after paying the cost of mining and freight and treatment charges. Deduct freight and treatment charges of ?3.7! from the value of the ore at the mine, and ?1.25 is left, on which the 2 per cent tax is paid. The tax is therefore 2 1-2 cents a ton, which reduces the mine owner's profit to 22 1-2 cents a ton. If a mine produces 1000 tons a day, the mine owner will pay $1000 a day for mining, $3750 a day for freight and treatment, $25 a day for taxes, and will have $225 a day profit. Carry these figures out for a year and the mine owner will have disbursed $305,000 for mining, $1,368,750 for freight and treatment, $9125 for taxes, and will have made a profit of $82,125, which is 20 per cent on an investment of $410,625. Suppose the tax was \"not paid, but* tha: the province remitted it altogether, the profit then would be $91,250, or 22.2 per cent on the investment, Taking everything into consideration, the 2 per cent tax is not a hardship on the owners of mines that will pay to work, and those mines that will not pay to work .had better remain unworked. Better for* the owners and better for the province. Working mines at a loss is ruinous to the owners .and gives the province a bad name. 1IIIXIIITTTIIIHTITITTTTTTTTTTT- LADIES' SUNSHADES AT HALF PRIOB.

Those who oppose the provincial government subsidizing a railway over Hope mountains maintain, that traffic can be hauled cheaper over a long route with easy grades than over a short route with heavy grades. Those whofavor the Hope Mountain route for the subsidized Coast-to-Kootenay railway say such a contention is merely in the interest of the C. P. R. One of the newspapers\" that has strongly urged the building of the railway over the Hope Mountain route is the Greenwood Times. It wants a competitive railway, one entirely independent of tho C. P. R. But somehow, the arguments that the Times uses when it is shouting for the Hope Mountain route to the Coast is not a good argument when, discussing cheap freight rates between Greenwood and eastern points. In its issue of Saturday last the Times says: \"The construction \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD' of the Columbia & Western railway \" showed great pluck and enterprise, \" but we in the Boundary district- pay \"the piper. .The rate'today on less \" than- carload lots is almost as high as \" in the old wagon freighting days. Rail- \" ways, if they are to give cheap rates, \"must follow: the-natural conformation \" of the country. If we are going to \"refuse railways to follow the natural \" highways and allow the C. P. R. to \" charge for climbing over steep moun- \"tain ranges we are taking the best \" means to drive off the capital we have \" been seeking in all financial centers \"of the globe.\" The Times is not consistent. If the Columbia & Western does not haul freight over the mountains between the' Columbia river and the Boundary country at reasonable rates, what leads the Times to expect that the V. V. & E. will haul freight over the Hope mountains at reasonable rates ? \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD NEW AUTUMN GOODS OPENING EVERY DAY \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD fix _'; Call and see ow Fall Mantles and Ladies' Ready-to-wear Felt Hats. ny Ladies' Furs, Ladies' Flanelette and Plaid Shirt Waists. to First lot of >.\ WOOL MATTRESSES AND EIDERDOWN QUILTS to' \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 \"4 * 9\ 9\ to NEW GOODS ARRIVING DAILY $1 BARGAINS IN VALISES TRUNKS AND TRAVELING BAGS.

If the Boundary district is \"to be the great mining district we '* hope and believe it will he, less than \" ?5 ore will he treated at a profit, a \" profit possibly of 25 cents a ton. Why \"should the owner be called upon to \" pay a 2 per cent tax on ? t out of ?5, \"nearly all of which is wages? Thr \" province by its plan of taxation places \" a premium on the payment of low \" wages in the mines. The higher the \" rate of wages the higher the rate of \" taxation on the net proceeds of the \" mine.\" The words quoted above are from the Greenwood Times. If the Boundary ore is worth only ?5 a ton, the 2 per cent tax i3 not paid on ?4, as ^^The^VictoTiarTimes-saTs^there is-a conspiracy, an that the conspirators are trying to remove its particular friends Wilmer C. Wells and James Douglas Prentice from the official positions they now occupy. The truth of the matter is, there is no conspiracy except in the Times ofllce, where senator Templeman, who is the Grit head push in British Columbia, is making plans, and having them photographed, to capture the Dunsmuir government for the party that is behind him. It would please the Times to see these plans carried.out, but the people do not care to see either Joseph Martin or Wilmer C. Wells premier of British Columbia. Joseph has had a trial and messed the job. Wilmer will never get a trial, for he has bungled the job he has got worse than it was ever bungled by any of his predecessors, and that is saying a good deal. Notwithstanding the assertion of the Times, that \"Wells is the one efficient \" administrator in charge of a depart- \" ment,, the only cabinet minister wit \"whose department work no fault can \"be found,\" the people of Kootenay, at least, know that the department of lands and works is badly mismanaged, not only in respect to public works, but in respect to crown lands. Thousands of dollars have been wasted in building roads, and no one who has dealings with the land department can get satisfactory answers. No one seems to be responsible for the waste of public funds, and no one seems to know when a crown grant will issue for lands. Were the commissioner of lands and works what the Times tries to make him appear, these charges could not be made. The Times simply upholds Mr. Wells because Mr. Wells is a Grit, and for no other reason. \"Boh\" Kirkwood of the Slocan is one of the lucky prospectors. lie has lived in this district for ten years, and was Famous in Several Ways. Invader's victory at Chicago was famous in several 'ways. She was the pick of two boats. .She defeated the best craft of eight new boats. She is a fin keel craft, and beat a centerboard boat in a centerboard boat's weather, but was in her turn beaten under conditions usually reckoned as in favor of a keel boat.- There was one unique feature about the Chicago races, and that was, the attitude of the\" scrutineers on board each boat. Usually scrutineers sailing as they do on rival craft hunt up the softest berth on hoard the craft they are assigned to, and busy themselves keeping out of the way of the working members of the crew. They try to make themselves as inconspicuous' as possible. But not so at Cb . cago. Both George Ernest Macrae of the Royal Canadian Yacht Club, the Canadian representative on board the Cadillac, and measurer Cothroll of the Chicago Yacht Club, who saied the Invader, are experts in the game. It galled them both to have tp remain passive when so much depended on the efforts 'of the crews of both boats, so after the ^first,rac.eJhey=shooluhands^on=an=agree-= ment to turn in and help to the best of their ability to .work the craft on which they were sailing. The skippers of the rival craft were willing to accept the services of an extra pair of hands, an during the last three races Mr:' Cothroll and' Mr. Macrae did their prettiest to make the boats they were sailing on win. It shows the spirit of the contest when such things are possible. In almost every other sport an officer in the position occupied by the scrutineers would have not only refused to help defeat his' own club, but would have openly gloated at the discomfiture of the rival. . .

Under the present sys- ,tem bankers can manipulate and contract circulation at will, diverting money from its proper channels and frequently when conditions are favorable diverting it into more profitable foreign markets. This wealth, too, after all, is the product of labor, but labor has no share in its own creation. It is high time the common people ceased paying exorbitant tributes in the way of interest compounded'at more than 12 per cent per annum on loans to fill the devouring maws of the insatiable banker;: nor do I expect the private banker, the parasite of tlie financial world to. '*The will of the people is sovereign and to its. committee the government could be safely entrusted the absolute control, management and direction of tlie currency. Let the government issue ;money with its own guarantee. If Lhe government jssued money at 1 per cent per annum we would soon hear the last of the money lords under the present anarchic system. A scheme could be easily worked out whereby through the medium of postmasters :having access to assessment rolls and title deeds, individuals could secure loans not to exceed 50 per-cent of their possessions. Money cannot be made too cheap. Then would industry \"blossom like the rose,\" and an end of the conflicts between labor and capital be reached. , This is no philosopher's dream. The thought of today may be the reality of tomorrow. Tlie real enemies of civilization are the money barons who out of their ill-gotten gains build gilded mansions of immeasurable wealth while the creators of all wealth live like slaves in unpainted hovels.

The current number of the Mining and Scientific Press of San Francisco con-- '-.ains a very interesting leading article entitled \"Two Kinds of Miners' Unions,\" in which the methods employed in New Zealand in the adjustment of '.abor disputes in the mining districts ire contrasted with the means adopted in British Columbia, the difference being shown to be manifestly unfavorable in che case of the latter.\" Additional point :s given to the .argument by the coinci- .lence that in both countries the muckers or shovelers\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDin so'me of the mines are Jissatisficd with-the rate of wage paid. :or this class of labor, and in both cases ire endeavoring to secure a recognition \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDof their claims. The difference, how-: -yer, is that while in New Zealand there :s no cessation of work, and, therefore, io industrial disturbance,'in British Columbia the dispute has resulted * in throwing .several hundred men out of amployment, of locking up several millions of capital, and of throwing the vvhole machinery upon the regular oper- \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDition,of_which^the^Pi--Osperity^of=an=im-^ ,*ortant commercial.center depends, out jf gear. Now, the dispute in New Zea- .and is practically identical with that it Rossland. In each instance the n-uck- jrs demand increased pay, which the jmployers refuse on the ground that the margin of profit is not sufficient to ad- .nit of an increase in the scale of wages, i'lie difference in the position of the .:wo countries is this: .In New Zealand .he labor union is a. union of all employers and all who labor. It is the .state. It is responsible, if labor has an \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDQuitable right to reasonable wages aud .naintenahce of employment, so, too, has die employer an equitable right to the jonditions which permit fair wages and jontinuous work. Neither is permitted io injure the other, and the real facts jontrol findings, regardless of who may je sustained in the special contention. Jn the otherhand, while in British Co- ruinbia the political power of the labor union is paramount, the power is exercised by a self-elected faction of the people, and represents what they con- \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDider their personal policy, regardless of che equities of those not of their labor. union faction. The labor union is no t union of all employers and all men who labor. It is a union of a self- elected portion of the men who labor, it has as an organization no place in law. It is wholly irresponsible, in New ieaiancl no laborer stops working, pend .ng a dertermination of the facte. BoV parties meet equally before the law, and are equally bound by its judgment. If che laborer is given what he asks, he is bound to accept it for a definite time. There is no loss of productive energy anywhere. There is only a more equitable distribution of its production. Every man has a right to work and is insured a. just wage for his labor. The employer is not restricted in the use, enjoyment \">r reproductive power of his capita'. In British Columbia every laborer stops working, not alone those who consider they have a grievance, but every laborer in other branches of the same trade, and laborers in other trades as well, entirely independent of any direct material interest in the differenc*. The employers are stopped by force from working. Neither party is before the law. There are no judgments. If the laborer is given what he asks, he is no' bound to continue accepting it for any period of time at all. There is the loss of the prpductive energy of an entire Nelson Branch\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDBurns Block, 221 Baker Street. J. M.

This briefly summarizes the article in the journal to which I have referred, and no one will deny that the comparison as made is fair and admirably stated. One cannot, however, under the circumstances, help being amused at tha following paragraphs: \"Broadly speaking, the New Zealand idea of labor union is constructive of society; the British Columbia idea is\" destructive of society. The difference starts with the difference between responsibility aiid; irresponsibility: The. difference in the two countriesi to ('-.lumen aiid society, the state or the public, as a result of the difference of method employed'-. by workmen doing the same kind of work, and making the same demand of their employers, is measured by an enormous sum ,of productive energy. . \"New Zealand shows what responsible; lawful labor union does for the laborer and for society. British Columbia shows what irresponsible; unlawful labor union will do to degrade society.\" Tie details of how New Zealand--'does.;it are nn essential. The essential element is responsibility.\". ;.: :X7:\"- '-\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD'.'. The writer of these paragraphs is the editor of a San Francisco paper,.a\"-1 will be observed that he speaks, of the \"BritislKColumbia idea\" of settling labor difficulties as something quite unique and .peculiar to this country. Having just returned from a visit to San Francisco, I can authoritatively state that the pernicious and disastrous .\"British Columbia idea\" lias already been communicated to California, and .the system .there has become so popular that every branch of trade, manufacturing and commerce has, since it\" was put into practice in April last, become paralyzed. Doubtless it will afford the.editor of the Mining and Scientific Press some satisfaction to learn that British Columbia, having originated the strike system, is now being fitly rebuked by the compulsory suspension of operations at tho Nanaimo . collieries, In consequence of the successful adoption of this novel \"idea\" by the \"workingmen of San Francisco/' A'Primitive Railroad; The Japanese may claini the distinction of having the smallest and most primitive railroad in actual .operation. Running between the \"pretty little seashore coast town of Atami and Yoshi- hama, in the province of Izu, Japan, there is a railroad-that is small enough to be a child's plaything. It is seven miles long; the cars are not more than five feet high; the motive power is the muscle of the Japanese coolies. If the \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDtraveler wishes to see Japan as she appeared before she began to adopt the arts of civilization it is necessary for him to leave the great cities and the beaten routes of travel. The only ways' of getting into the primitive places are to walk or be carried in jinricksras. It was in a tramp of this kind that J. _g. T-nrl-an of the Pacific_Mail-Steamship, company discovered the minature railroad. Speaking of this railroad, Mr. Larken writes: \"Arriving at Atami late in the clay, after a ten-mile tramp over the Ten Province pass, our time being rather limited, we decided to start sight seeing early the following morning\" by visiting the 1500-year-old temple of Iz- usan, three miles distant, Our host, in flowing kimono, with repeated bows and continuous smi'le, informed us that Atami was quite a railroad center, and that a train would convey us to tlie temple in quick time. We accepted his offer, though rather regretting after two days of hard walking in search of native customs, to again find ourselves in tho tourists' beaten track. Happily our impression was erroneous, and we were much surprised the following morning when we reached the miniature carhouse to see the car backed out. The 'engineer' on the front platform gave a long blast on a horn, and we were off at a lively pace. \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD Griping-a hand rail on either side of the rear end of the car, two powerful little coolies were pushing and puffing at a great rate. When under good headway or going down grade the pushers would jump on the rear platform to rest. The engineer's duty on the front platform was to apply the brake, blow a warning horn on rounding curves aud try his level best to hang on. This miniature monopoly runs through tiers of rice paddies and fine groves, skinting the sea of Japan, some 450 feet above its level. In America a trip of this character, occupying five hours, the services of a private car and three men, would cost ten dollars. In Japan the trip costs 21 cents, including tips for the coolies' tea. The first class cars open at the end, just as our coaches do. The second class cars open on the side, like the coaches in England. There is no such thing as standing up in one of these cars and the traveler gets many bumps on his head before he arrives at his journey's end. It is perfectly safe for foreigners to travel through the country where this railroad runs; a woman could travel through it alone without fear of injury or insult, unless she ran across foreigners.\" A Wary General.

Times without, number since he has been in the colony he has been described as hotly -pursued, cornered or crushed up against the' Orange river in full flood, his capture being expected every hour, but when; the columns surrounding him ' and his hard-pressed forces-converged at the point where he was expected to; be found it-was invariably discovered' that he had .passed through some gap in .the British encir- cling line and doubled hack on his tracks or-gone off in some other direction. At one moment he will have more than -1,0,00 men with him and a day or two later,.'when- the British have concentrated, it-'wiir.be only to find that they have broken up into small bands and disappeared among the nlountains where pursuit is useless.'One correspondent wrote at the end of March that the chase* after Kritzinger continued unabated and twas-full of curious situations .No fewer than seven columns were in hot pursuit of-liimj driving him to the Orange river,\" which was unford- able; but when they thought they had him caught they discovered that he was fifty miles in their rear threatening the railway after having Droken up his command into two sections. Then everything had to begin again! An officer of the Intelligence Department who fell into Kritzinger's hands gives an interesting account of his experience He was on his way to notify the local force in the Craddock-district of Kritzinger's proximity, when he found the , dnft where he proposed-to cross a river held by the Boers. Endeavoring to swim the stream at another point he lost his horse and narrowly escaped drowning, boing rescued by a passing Kaffir who chanced that way.\" Later he recovered his horse, which had landed lower clown, and rode off to warn the locals He had ridden barely ten minutes in the direction he had to go when he \"was brought up short by two men sitting on a bank. One called but \"Good morning,\" and the two. advanced to make him prisoner. One was the Boer commandant and the other, his riglr.-liand man Krog.''.'They were watching a large British force which was crossing the railway line in the far ..distance. Finding there was no help for it, ho submitted-with good grace and was closely searched, but no papers were found on him, he having previously destroyed those he had carried. :He was deprived of his horse, saddle and field glass, but his watch and money \"weie left with him... Kritzinger he d.es.cribcl as Ir'fincTlooking man about five feet ten inches iu height, broadly built and speaking English perfectly. At the time of their meeting the Boer commander was attired in lavender colored trousers,\" with yellow tanned gaiters, a. well- cut coat, starched white linen sliirt and a brand-new tallyho hat with puggaree. He wore gloves and carried a hunting crop. His men were well dressed and all their horses wero in splendid condition. It was believed that one of tlie reasons of general De Wet's ic- turn north of the Orange rivor so soon after his last advance into Capo Colony was his recognition of Kritzinger's ability to carry on tho operations without his assistance.
