"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/1.0189215/source.json"@en . "application/pdf"@en .

His lordship said he would have considered himself highly criminal had he allowed the shareholders money thus to he gambled away, and he, added, that on his recovery from his present illness he proposed to offer himself for examination in order to confirm the above statements. The receiver announced that he did not propose to trouble lord Dufferin to attend the inquiry as he did not think his lordship could add anything to the information which he had already given to the investigators. The examination of lieutenant general the honorable Somerset J. Gough-Col- thrope, one of Whitaker Wright's co- directors, furnished endless amusement. After saying he had properly purchased his holdings in the company, general Gough-Colthrope admitted that he knew practically nothing of city finance. .He had such perfect faith in Whitaker Wright that he followed him blindly.

BIO IEGAL FIGHT STARTED Minnesota Opposing the Deal WASHINGTON, January 27.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDIn the United States supreme court today, attorney general. Douglas of Minnesota, renewed his motion for leave to file a bill of complaint on behalf of the state against the Northern Securities Company in the matter of the merging of the Northern Pacific railroad with other railroads. W. D. Guthrie, for the Northern Securities Company, filed a brief with the court outlining that company's position. He contended that the bill of complaint proposed to be filed on behalf of the state of Minnesota does not prevent a controversy of a civil and judicial nature between a state and a citizen of another state being justifiable in this court, and that no state can call upon this court to enforce its penal or police laws in other states. Hence this court is without jurisdiction. The bill asks the court, he said, to restrain by injunction a citizen of New Jersey from doing there, acts which are entirely lawful according to her laws and are sanctioned by her statutory policy, simply because those acts violate or evade or tend to circumvent the public or penal or police laws of Minnesota, the complainant state. He contended that the injunction prayed for would be nothing more or less than an- order compelling the securities company to obey in New Jersey the laws of Minnesota.

The shock Of the\" explosion was felt, in all large buildings in the neighborhood. All the windows in the; south side of the Grand Central station were broken, as were those in Grand Union hotel, the Murray. Hill hotel, the Manhatan eye and ear hospital, and the. hospital for ruptured and crippled children, all of which are near the place where the dynamite was stored. Every private house in the neighborhood felt the shock. Lamp posts were knocked down, pedestrians were cut, by falling glass, and cab men and cab horses were thrown to the ground. - The Murray Hill hotel suffered most of all the neighborhood buildings. Through the windows huge pieces of timber, known as \"Needling\" .beams, were sent as if they had been arrows: All \"of the workmen within several blocks of 60th street were hurt. .

One-report-was that a stone was dropped into the -chamber where the explosives were stored, and that the boiler of 'the hoisting plant had blown up in a second explosion. The force generated by the main explos-? ion was tremendous. It tore open a great mine in the street and sent, a mass of earth, splintered wood and broken iron high into the air. Part of this crashed into the front of the Murray Hill hotel, and the shock broke every window and wrecked many of the front rooms. Plastering was stripped from the walls and carpets torn up. The areas of every residence in the locality and the sidewalks were sprinkled with-: broken glass. Twenty-eight injured were taken from the Murray Hill hotel to be dressed by ambulance surgeons or hurried away to hospitals. About fifty patients and nurses in the Manhattan hospital were slightly injured. A large force of men were Immediately set to work clearing: away-;.Wreckage.

J, Rodericks Robertson,- or Nelson,, was killed T>y|: debris hurled into his room in the Murray Hill hotel. He was, general manager for the British Columbia Goldflelds] Company. The approach to the strjeet railway tunnel, used by the; Madisiih avenue line, cuts through Park\"'avenue, and the shaft for the Rapid Transit subway was run down beside it,at the intersection used for the operating;?plant of-the Rapid Transit (.contractors. Temporary buildings for storage purposes, in which a quantity 'of explosives were stored, werei thrown up against the\" superstructure at the mouth of-^the shaft, and there the explosion occurred. It tore a great .gorge in the street and demolished the temporary/ buildings and part of jthe superstructure, and sent a mass of earth; timber and iron high into the air. Much of it went against the front of the Murray Hill hotel, and although-the walls and-main structure of that building stood the shock;-'nearly every room in the front of the House was wrecked.

The windows, and glass partitions in .the: Grand \"Union hotel and .the Grand! Central station were shattered. The clocks on the front towers of. the station were blown from their cases. Thousands of windows, some of them blbcks from the tunnel shaft /were ^..broken, and the ishpwer of broken glass and-.falting;debils injured a gjeat number, ibf people.- Every: available- ambu--\" lance in: .the district -was quickly on -the scene, and numbers of the injured were treated on the spot. The cause of the explosion is not definitely known. Several have been advanced but it will probably: take an official, inquiry to clear the mater up. .The most plausible was that a fire started near- the powder room in which a quantity of dynamite was stored. \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD It is believed that mechanic ^William Tubbs was killed, after making a desperate atempt to quench the fire before it leached the explosives. District attorney Jerome visited the scene at once and commenced an investigation. He examined witnesses who told conflicting-stories, and as a result Ira A. Shallock, engineer in charge of j the work at Park avenue, John Bracken, foreman, and Martin McGrath, an assistant foreman, were placed under arrest charged with homicide. The damage may exceed $1,000,000. The first estimate in the Murray Hill hotel placed the loss at $100,000, but later the building-was abandoned: as unsafe. If the building is condemned, the loss on it will reach $1,000,000.; The fortunately the explosion.occurred at an hour when not more than a hundred people were in the main waiting* room of the Grand Central station. Some of these were slightly' injured by falling glass.: Four\" ticket sellers were cut with the flying slivers. The ofilces of the New York Central did not suffer as much as the New Haven offices.

The coroner had empanelled a jury and listened to an affidavit by a patrolman who said he had arrested the three men, and that there had been an explosion. Mr. Jerome insisted that there was no information in the affidavit on which\" to hold anybody, and there was a wordy wrangle between . the two officials. In spite of protests the: coroner gave the case to the jury-' . men, \"who retired and came back\" with a verdict, recommending the discharge of the prisoners. The coroner then opened court as a sitting magistrate, and had the men re-arrested and held them without bail. Mr. Jerome protested and the coroner changed his decision, holding the men in $10,000 bail each. All this had worked up the feelings of. everybody so much that there was a free fight, in which Mr. Jerome was struck in the face by John Murray, a coroner's clerk, who in turn was beaten by two of the district attorney's detectives. .Then the detectives and Murray had, each other arrested, but better counsel prevailed and all charges withdrawn-for the present. \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD Andrew Murray was tonight locked up at a /police station, though .no charge was placed against him on the blotter.

NELSON'S EDUCATION BILL Makes Alderman Selous Uneasy Last evening the second meeting of the city council was held, the mayor and all members of the council being present. The principal Item of business was. the consideration of the estimate of the school board, which is as follows: Estimate for high school\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDPrincipal, $1290; assistant teacher for last half of year, .$450; insurance, $120; janitor, $150; fuel, $200; total for high school, $2210. Estimate for public school\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDPrincipal, $1200; first assistant, $900; second assistant, $810; third assistant, $720; fourth assistant, $CC0; fifth assistant, $600; sixth assistant! last half of year, $300; primary teacher $900; Insurance, $1(J0; janitor, $510; fuel, $500; secretary ol' school boara, $100; contingent fund, $1000; total for public schools, $8480. Total for both schools, $10,690. There is $1200 additional to this amount for furnishing, $1000 of which has already been paid, making a total estimate for school purposes for the year of $11,S90. Alderman Selous thought that the- secretary of the board should have been present while the estimate was oeing considered, as there were a number of matters which it was of importance the council should know, such as a comparison of the present' estimate with that of previous years. The mayor remarked that the item of $1000 for contingencies came a little high and was of the opinion that while they could only deal with items respecting salaries by passing them, he thought it better to refer tho estimate to the school committee to confer with the board and report at the subsequent meeting. Alderman Hamilton claimed that tn regard to the matter of salaries they wero obliged to pay them and had no say in the matter, and as far as the contingent fund was concerned all they could do was to refuse to pass the item, which \"would then have to be submitted to the ratepayers. Alderman Selous inquired if the school board had volunteered the information as to tho amount the city were entitled to receive from the government. The information was suplled by the city clerk, who stated that the amount based on last year's estimates was $4300. Alderman Selous then made an estimate that the education of the 250 children now attending the public school was at the rate of $25 per head, and complained that It was too high, and that the school staff was larger than there was any need for. In this alderman Selous was supported by the mayor, who suggested that a better plan would be to adopt that followed in other cities by paying the teachers larger salaries and giving them more work. However, that was none of their business, as the board were as much responsible to the ratepayers as tho city council, and as they would have to pull wltn the school board on these matters ho thought If the matter was referred to the school committee to report at the next meeting thcro would be still plenty of time to pass the estimates before the.monthly checks were due. Alderman Selous \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD complained \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD that the =councll-was-at'the-mercy-6f-the=board,.and. If they. demanded a million a minute they were at their mercy. The city.clerk reminded alderman'Selous that there was a limit fixed by law, Which was that the estimates should not exceed 15 mills, which greatly soothed his anxiety. The matter was finally left to the school committee. The tenders which had ben called for the enlargement of the city hall wero then opened and read: W. G. Glllett, $1658; John Hepburn, $156*\";: Donald Burgess, $1497; John Toye, $1875; D. J. McNally, -J18S5. All the tenders except the lowest contained the customary deposit, and some discussion arose as to whether it should bo considered with \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD the others. The question was further raised as to whether It would not be better by an additional expenditure of $300 or $400 to build of brick or stone, as tho mayor had been given to understand that this could be done. The matter was finally left with the committee on public works to confer with the different contractors as to the extra cost, and report at the next meeting of the council. The claim of James Hubbard.for the alleged loss in the burning of a shack came up again for discussion. No action wus taken on the matter as the council do not favor establishing a precedent of this nature. Tho following payrolls were recommended by tho finance committee and passed by the council: Salaries $1385, firemen $403, scavenging $295, waterworks $84.25, sidewalks $68, electric light maintenance $38, election expenses $54. Kootenay Lake Claims Another Victim Ho was known only as Bosun. \"When he first boarded the steamer Nelson over a year go. His appearance was not prepossessing and he showed signs of having been In hard luck for a time. His agreablc manners soon endeared him to officers and crew who vied with each other in making life pleasant for him, and his strict attention to duty was an object lesson to others of the crew. But Bsoun is now only a sad memory. It happened thus: The Nelson a short time ago was transferring barges with the \"Valhalla on Kootenay lake. During the exchange Bosun, as usual, was in evidence, here, there and everywhere. The last seen of him was when the Nelson had started on the return trip with the barge alongside. Bosun was noticed on the barge, and it is supposed that in stepping therefrom to the stjamer he missed his footing and went overboard.

After a session lasting several days the grand jury - returned a verdict against Bennett and four others, charging them with stealing cattle.

James \" Cochran nominated himself because . he considered- a scheme was on foot to force \"Wilson Smith on to an unwilling electorate. Matters were complicated by the fact that Prefontalne had about ten days previously, sailed for Europe.

In Prefontalne's absence' this of .course had to be done by proxy, through power of attorney. The fight was then* left between Cochran and Smith. A canvas of the city soon showed indications that Smith would be beaten by thousands. Smith and Prefontalne are:supposed to represent the same interests, the big corporations with: public franchises. The result was that the writ of mandamus1 noted abovo was asked for and Prefontalne restored to ballot because his withdrawal not being, made personally, was illegal. Smith will now withdraw and the contest will bo between Prefontalne: and Cochran. The\" election of the former is practically certain. The impression' is that the whole affair was a carefully planned game\" in which Prefontalne's departure for Europe was tho first move.

DURING THIS WEEK Some Special Bargains in Remnants from every Department. Carpets, Curtains, Portieres, Table Covers at cost. 9\ 9\ to to J. Roderick Robertson is no more. Death came to him suddenly yesterday in his room in the Murray Hill hotel, !in New York, where he was stricken down with flying debris from an explosion of dynamite in one of the shaft- leading to the tunnel of the Rapid Transit Company. The news of the explosion, with its tragic result, was received in Nelson shortly after three o'clock, and cast a gloom over the community in which J. Roderick Robertson had heen a central figure for several years. Many were the expressions of sympathy heard for the bereaved widow and orphan children, but aside from this it was generally felt that Nelson had suffered a loss apart from that of the hns- l.'and and father. Tew men in the dis trict had a wider circle of friends than the deceased; and to him was given the most prominent part to play in the development of its , mineral resources. None had greater faith than he in Kootenay's. possibilities, and no other accomplished so much in demonstrating their worth. In this it\" is true the goddess of fortune smiled upon him, but it cannot be forgotten that he brought to his aid rare business sagacity and foresight Thc- rosult was that all of his mining ventures prospered, until it came about that the association of his name with a new enterprise was taken almost as a guarantee of success. J. Roderick Robertson first came to the front in Kootenay by reason of the skill he displayed as general manager in piloting the Loudon & British Columbia Goldflelds from the date of its inception until his death. Later he commanded more or less favorable attention as manager of the Ymir Gold Mines, Limited; and still later as , manager of the Enterprise (B. C.) Mines, Limited, and as president of the Cascade Water, Power & Light Company. Nelson had in him a stout champion, and his lively interest in its welfare induced him to associate himself with the board of trade, of which body he at one time was president. \"J. Roderick,\" as is intimates called him, was a man of generous impulses. He prized the respect and esteem of those who worked under him equally with that of those who worked with him. His friends were legion, and they with sorrow will read of his death, throughout the province, in the clubs, in the commercial centers and in the miners cabins. From the warmth that is being developed in'the bye election in Victoria to fill the vacancy in the house of commons, it is easy to understand the desire of the Bodwell faction to have the bye election for the Victoria vacancy in the legislature pulled off before the Liberals could declare for party lines. In the present contest Helmcken and McPhillips, the Conservative bolters in the legislature, are straining-every--effort to persuade Victorians against endorsing a Liberal candidate for \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD the commons, and it would be a rather sharp curve, even for them to make, to get out a few weeks later and ask the same electors to endorse a straight Liberal for the \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD legislature. BIG SALMON PLACER GROUND The rupture in the Labor party in Nanaimo has been unwelcome news to the political managers who hoped to bring about a coalition of the Liberal pnd Labor parties in the province. The' Gives Large Eeturns Traffice manager J. Francis Lee, of the White Pass & Yukon route, has just received a letter from F. R. Carpenter, who is operating in the Big Salmon district, that contains much-information regarding that section. Mr. Carpenter regards the district as the best in the north for prospecting, and as extremely rich. Last fall he laid out the town of Commercial Center in the Big=Salmon^country_and-had^just-estab-- lished a landing known as Eureka, about twenty-eight miles above Hoota- linqua, on the Hootalinqua river. The new landing shortens the trail to Commercial Center by several miles, thus making the district easier of access. Mr. Carpenter writes as follows: \"There are about a hundred men working in the district and about fifty of them are miners, all working at prospecting the hill sides and benches. The gold all comes from the hills. The winter's work has proven that conclusively. \"We havo three tunnels in the hillside on Moose creek, 350 feet abovo 'the creek, and have got. big pay, gelling pans that run as high as $25, and many running from $3 to $S. Four men are sinking a hole on the hill above Livingstone, arc down thirty feet and have struck pay running from forty to eighty- five cents to the pan. They believe it is about fifty feet to bedrock. The tunnels on Summit creek are equally good and Lake creek is turning out better than was expected. Six men are working on the rim and taking out $25 to the man. Little Violet is also at ,the front. There are eight men at work, all making good money. \"May creek is a new discovery, but the work done so far shows up well, four men working with rockers aud making 515 to $20 per day. They are also running a tunnel. There is no one working on Cotton Eva this winter, but it showed up well last fall. There is no work being done on Silva at present, but there will be. Two hydraulics go in early in the spring. \"Good prospects were found on Fish creek last fall, ten miles from the mouth. It was late, however, and no work was clone this winter. Bear creek, forty miles from Commercial Center up the south fork of the Big Salmon, is showing up well, nine men working by last report, and taking out good money. There have been several new creeks discovered this winter, as we have had a fine winter for prospecting; weather mild, with very little snow. Eight below zero has been the coldest. That only lasted two days. We have had it 40 above in December, so you can see that we are favored in this respect. \"Men are working on the St. Germain getting out lumber for flumes, and are preparing to put in a hydraulic Niagara's Improvements NEW YORK, January 27.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDAnother great step in the utilization of Niagara power is announced by the Electrical World and Engineer. On the American side of the falls the Niagara Falls Power Company has long had in operation eleven dynamos, each driven with it's own turbine, and developing 5000 horse power. A wheel pit, parallel with the first one, was recently completed and within the la'st year orders were given for eleven more water wheels and generators.

The negotiations have been conducted by the Canadian Niagara Power Company, which held, the original charter of the enterprise, but whose rights have been acquired by the American company. These dynamos will be situated like those of the Niagara Falls Power Company, at the level of the surface of the earth, while the turbines will be in a wheel pit directly underneath. Vertical shafts over one hundred feet.long will connect the water wheels with the generators. It is asserted that\" these dynamos will be the largest ever built.

YUKON'S GOLD DEPOSITS Great Future for tbe North Henry A. Miers, D.S. C, \"F. R. S., Way- ncliete, professor of mineralogy in the university of Oxford, in an oilicial report to the minister of tho interior, Hon. Clifford Sifton, gives his impression to the Yukon goldflelds along with Prof. A. P. Coleman, of the Toronto university last summer. The principal object of their visit was to study tho mining methods and the auriferous deposits oi the Klondike district. In giving his impressions of the Canadian Yukon Dr. Miers says. \"The cost of working and the sort of gravel whicli-will pay vary of course with local conditions. I was told that 5 cents to the-pan may be taken as the average for pay' gravel in tlie Klondike, but that the deeper workings on some creeks can be worked at 2 cents per pan. If I may venture an opinion on matters which I have been able to survey very superficially on a brief visit, it appears that, owing to the great wealth of the Klondike, progress has been too rapid and that methods whicli must in the end .prevail as the most systematic and economical havo been introduced before the.cost of transport, of material, of labor,: /and of necessaries of life have been sufficiently reduced to meet them. I have already mentioned some instances of the enormous cost of mining; it is, scarcely necessary to Quote statistics, . moreover, it is difficult to feel sure that they are really trustworthy. \"Signs of improvement are visible, however, in all these respects. The initial cost of importing goods into the country seems to be diminishing; althought freight rates amount to 6 cents per pound by the AVhite Pass route; they have been, I believe only 8 cents-by the St. Michael's route, and will, no doubt, be capable of reduction by either route. I was told that the cost of transport from Dawson to the Grand Forks over the Ridgo road, or lower road, which was no less than 15 cents per pound in. 1899, .was 3% cents per pound'in 1900, and is only 1 cent per pound in 1901.The timber which used to be ?1 a foot at Grand Porks Is now $110 per thousand for flume building, and .$16 a cord for firewood. Fodder, which used to be from $1000 to $1200 per ton, was obtained this year at the rate of S tons for $1000. Still, it is certain that the expenses are nearly prohibitive; it is, no doubt, well known to you that wages of at least $5 a day a.nd $2.fi0 for board,, arc universally demanded and paid for unskilled labor, and that an ?S Wage has been sterotyped by Its adoption as tho scale of pay offered by the government for road construction, etc. The miner's license of-$10 of course has to be paid by every one employed in mining, 1. e., for every member of the'camp except the cook. Interest appears to be commonly charged at the rate' of 5 per cent per month; the necessaries of life arc very expensive; the rent of a log cabin in Dawson is $50 per month; and meat is still from 50 to 75 cents per pound. Some of the conditions tell more against the large operator than tho small one; the 5- per cent royalty, for example, on an output above $5000; or again the fact that-the owner :of thirty claims must so far sub-divide his labor as to put in the necessary representative work on each group of ten claims, instead of being allowed to concentrate ms labor on one; also, the absence off'any-provision'assisting- an owner to acquire intermediate claims which intervene between isolated claims or groups of claims which may be sold. \"Everything, however, is clearly tending in the direction of large operations, and towards the extinction of the small operator; the \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD concessions which have been granted, mark no doubt, the opening page of a new chapter in the history of Klondike \"mining. \"And yet, it cannot be said, that the concessions have as yet, been productive of the work which Was expected of them. When one takes into account the enormous''wealth of the district, aud the fact that, as I have endeavored to show. it\"is\"ldsing~the~preea:rlOus character of n new placer camp, and is approximating to the conditions of ordinary mining, in spite of.the absence of quartz; that, in fact it is ceasing to be a poor man's camp, and requires extensive capital'and labor for Its- development; it is certainly remarkable that so many serious failures should have occurred, that so few of the mines have been worked at a good profit, and that the concessions should hitherto have failed to produce any great effect. It:is a fact of common knowledge that the failures connected with English capital have been particularly disastrous; a peculiar fatality seems to have pursued English capitalists In tho Klondike region. I heard it frequently remarked upon in the district nnd always deplored, that it\" was not necessarily' (Hie to want of judgment In selecting claims is clear from the fact that in several Instances the very ground which failed to yield a return to an English company has subsequently been taken up and successfully operated bv others. Tho workers on the creeks who are in a position to know arc not only unanimous in confessing tlie fact, but so far as I was able to judge they are also unanimous in -ascribing a cause to, it. They declare, that the men who were sent out to represent the interests of tho English companies, either in many cases lackeu thc judgment or stability of character which were needed, or had not the interests .of their employers sufficiently at heart. There is probably no place in the world where a voting or inexperienced man may more easily lose his balance, spehd his money and forget his business than in Dawson. From all accounts, companies which really possessed fine property were in some Instances wrecked because their affairs were ruinously handled by then- representatives. A short visit to the country is enough to cnnyln.ee anyone that these disasters did hot take place because the district was poor; or In any case played out, but that the capitalists have themselves to blame. Nothing is more remarkable than to watch the successful operations of these enterprising men, who, without previous experience in mining, or even in the employment of labor, have come to the front a.s directors of large mining concerns, involving the construction of machinery and the organization of labor. Prominent examples are afforded by some of the workings to which I have alluded to above. Unless English and other companies realize that the conditions are new. and that In order to master them energy, enterprise and adaptability are required; unless thev send out industrious men possessing these characteristics devoted to the interests of their employers, and capable of profiting bv the experience of the inhabitants they'will fail to secure good properties or will mismnnago those which come into their hands. There is an abundance of mon in the Klondike who have proved themselves capable of mastering the new- conditions, and there is room for many Prof. Miers. in his outlook for the future says: \"Within tho limited nrea which .' have described the auriferous creeks radiate from a center; a glance at the mails sufficient to suggest that the gold ha.\" not been brought from a distance: this opinion Is confirmed by the nature of the gold THE CANADIAN BANK OF COMMERCE WITH WHICH IS AMALGAMATED THE BANK OF BRITISH COLUMBIA.

One very valuable source of gold is the deposit known as the White Channel, of which the origin is shrouded in mystery; it is therefore conceivable that all the gold of the creek claims have been derived from extensive deposits of this material which pre- viouslv filled the valleys and have been denuded' away except upon the hillsides; t might be concluded that there is not much prospect of finding gold except in the white channel or in the gravels derived from this that the stream gravels overlying the white channel do not contain much gold. On the other hand the materials (quartz and seri- cite schist) composing the white channel are found in the country rock of which the district consists. Further, the gold is often found attached to quartz of the same character. On Hunker creek I saw a nugget bearing sharp and distinct impressions of quartz crystals, proving unmistakably that it was derived from erystallne quartz. These facts render the search for auriferous quartz somewhat hopeful, and the discoveries of the present year shows that it undoubtedly exists in the schists of the Klondike. It remains to be seen how extensive the deposits may be. \"As regards mining the conditions are rapidly changing. Machinery and organized labor are being introduced, and the camp is no longer a placer camp for the poor man. In fact ordinary placer mining can now only bo seen on some of the lower bench claims on Dominion and Bonanza creeks, where the conditions are so favorable that the gravel can, I believe, be worked as low as a half a cent a pan.. With more economical methods, employed on a large scale, ground should be profitably worked which has not been rich enough for the early miner, and doubtless, herein will be included many of the creek claims whicli are supposed to have been worked out. and much of tho tailings; the introduction of dredging and hydraulicing. to which I have called special attention, has been the first step in this direction. The present almost prohibitive cost of transport, material and labor, and the high standards of living stand in the way of progress. The new government -roads do much to relievo the first dufflculty, but in many respects the district has maintained the abnormal peculiarities of a placer camp. Although a thrifty- miner ought to be able to live on $2 or S3 a day, yet ifS to $10 is the rate of wages,. the interest on loans is 60 per cent, and house rent is half the value of the house. There is always a sense of insecurity about a placer mining region, and I have found outside the country a somewhat widespread impression that the \"Yukon Territory has seen its best days, and will not long continue to be productive; I must confess that I shared this impression before visiting Dawson. A short stay in the country is, however, suiilcient to convince a visitor that, even putting on one side the possibility of quartz mining, many of the properties now being worked have many years' life left in them at the present rate, and that a comparatively small portion of even the Klondike, district has been worked out. lt may well be that the extravagantly rich deposits are exhausted and that no stretch of three and a halt miles on a single creek will again produce from twenty-live to thirty million dollars of gold. Yet, even when the Klondike district Is exhausted, there remains the whole Yukon territory, which is certainly auriferous over certain areas. The territory has been very imperfectly prospected, and prospecting in this country is very difficult on account of the vegetation. There is no reason why it should not ultimately yield other remunerative gold fields when the country has been opened up. Other resources are gradually revealing themselves; very fair coal is mined at Cliff creek, about 55 miles below Dawson, and has been traced from that point to Rock creek, on tho Klondike, and possibly much farther to the east. The coal mined on the Yukon, four miles above Five Finger rapids, is said to be even better. A considerable amount of placer copper evidently exists up the White river, where it is said to be used by tho Indians for bullets, and copper ores are reported from various localities, and* notably (bromite. etc.) from the neighborhood of White Horse. Meanwhile there is an opening for honest, determined and i- dustrious men who will confront the usual .conditions of^the^country, .and^be^pxopared^ to live arid work economically.\" IRISHMEN ARE FRACTIOUS Some Exciting Arrests . If it bo decided to arrest the new member for -Galway on his arrival at Westminster London may have a repitition of the extraordinary and humorous scenes that wero enacted in the vicinity of the house of commons in 1SSS and 1S80. Warrants were issued under tlie Crimes Act for the arrest of several Irish M. P.'s, but the \"birds\" were coy, and, although anxious - eyed detectives lay in ambush around the palace of St. Stephen's, tho hunted ones proved themselves for a time as elusive as the wily Dewet. Mr. Douglas Pync, who was .subsequently drowned under mysterious circumstances in the passage between Holyhead and Dublin, was tho first to be captured. It was on November 10th, 1NSS, that the honorable gentleman fell a victim to tho stratcgems of the Saxon. He had driven up in a cab to the entrance at the foot of the clock tower and was making a dash for the steps leading to the palace yard, when the officers seized him. Another moment and Mr. Pyne would have been safe. As it was, he struggled violently to-cross the border, but it was too late, and'-finding resistance of no avail he good naturedly surrendered. That same afternoon the police made a sad blunder, which was subsequently brought before the house as a question of privilege. A warrant was in their hands for the arrest of Mr. Gilhooly. Now Mr. Gilhooly was a little man, and a detective inspector, who was on the lookout, seeing an Irish member of short stature in the neighborhood of the house, promptly arrested him. The officer was on his way to Scotland Yard with his prisoner when he discovered to his horror that he had arrested the wrong man. Mr. Gilhooly wa.s his legitimate quarry, and he had seized upon Mr. Patrick O'Brien. The immediate sequel was diverting. With the idea of putting matters right, the inspector went down to tho house that same afternoon and sent his card Into Mr. O'Brien, the honorable gentleman came out into the Central Hall, and was receiving the officer's apologies, when Mr. Gilhooly appeared on the scene, and assuming that the inspector was a friend of O'Brien's, proceeded to relate with glee the story of how on the previous night he had fooled the police who were in pursuit of him. \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD \"Why, here is Mr. Gilhooly,\" said M**. O'Brien to the inspector. \"Why don't you arrest him?\" Tho officer with a sickly smile replied: \"No, he's within tho sacred precincts now.\" That night Mr. Gilhooly fell into the enemy'.1* hands. He was taken Into custody outside tho palace yard amid one of the most remarkable scones in tho history of Irish politics.

P.'s had followed Mr. Gilhooly in anticipation of his arrest. Among them was Mr. Parnell, who sternly looked on. \"Show your warrant,\" cried many Irish voices, and one excited member shouted, \"If he attempts to drag you away, Jim, without producing a warrant, you would be justified in shooting him dead.\" In due time .after a great deal of shouting and scuffling, the warrant was produced and Mr. Gilhooly was led off into captivity, followed up Parliament street by a crowd of cheering members of the house of commons. A year later the police were in pursuit of the genial and eccentric Dr. Tanner, who has since gone over to the great majority. Suddenly, amid wild Irish cheering, the doctor appeared in the house of commons itself. He had driven at great speed into the palace yard in a friend's carriage, jumped hastily from the vehicle and rushed through the member's entrance before ambushed detectives could seize him. That night Dr. Tanner voted in.the division on Mr. Morley's Irish amendment to the address, and when the house rose he proceeded to the Westminster Palace - hotel, surrounded by a crowd of Irish members, who formed a solid square around their colleague, and lustily sang \"God Save Ireland,\" as they marched. On the steps the doctor gave his blessing to his escort, and when his friends dispersed was quietly arrested in the smoking room. These exciting proceedings were in the main characterized by good humor and sportsmanlike conduct on both sides, the Irish frankly recognizing that the police were only doing their duty. LORD MILNER IS HOPEFUL His Views on South Africa The.town council, the chamber of commerce, and the chamber of mines of Johannesburg gave a banquet at Heath's hotel recently in honor of lord Milner. St. John Carr, the acting mayor, presided. Mr. Carr, in proposing the toast to the the health of the guest, said lord Milner was rightly regarded as the \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDfriend of every one in South Africa. He had tried with patience and argument before the war to promote harmony, but an organized conspiracy frustrated his efforts and the struggle ensued in which Johannesburg hastened to take a manly part. There was the greatest sympathy with the man who had borne the stress of offlce with patience, fortitude and patriotism. The toast was drunk with enthusiasm. Lord Milner, in reply, thanked those present for their cordial reception, and also expressed his appreciation of the sincere words of the chairman. He felt deeply, he said, the welcome extended to him by the combined public bodies of Johannesburg, which met under such unique conditions. The country had been devasted by a lengthy war. All had suffered material losses, and there were other losses, human and personal. He hesitated, he said, to refer to the gaps in the ranks of the citizens. Some of the best known, respected and beloved had gone; others not so well known had fallen victims to war in the field, or to its companion, pestilence, and their graves were scattered all over South Africa. He hoped to see a memorial to these citizens erected in this -city,-_which--many^believed -cared\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD only- for gold. In his experience, he had found that it was second to none in respect for men. Although there had been losses, disappointments and anxieties in the past, he hoped that the spirit of the men would show itself, and that they would brace themselves for the task of reconstructing. He felt that the storm cloud which had burst in the air had already cleared. Men breathed freely, and it would i*e imposible for folly and mismanagement to ever again bring similar disaster. 'Lord Milner said there were still counsellers who desired another settlement similar to that after the battle of Majuba; but the people of Great Britain would have none of them. Still, they mako a noise, darken counsel and weaken action. The majority of the people, while regretting the war, recognize its necessity, and will not be cheated of the results by a moment's despondency. The friends of the enemy, thre governor said, pretended that the war would never end unless the British went on their knees to the enemy, the governor said, pretended that would come quickest if there was no fidgeting about negotiations. It was the useless either to threaten or wheedle. The only way was to keep squeezing the commandoes in the field and confine clemency to those who desired peace. Those who desired peace prophesied terrible things after the war. He remembered the time when they were always blubbering about Egypt. He himself did not believe in any terrible future for South Africa. The war itself had been an inconceivable difficulty. The statesman's task afterward would not be so difficult, and only required patriotism and resolution. All the danger was not here, but on the other side. Some people at home refused to see that the peoples of the sister colonies had no such doubts. They had been a great standby on battlefields, and were an equally valued standby on political fields. The pro-Boers, he said, considered only the Boers, morning, noon and night. It was Boer, Boer, Boer. There was no consideration for the rest of South Africa, the loyal British, the loyal Dutch, and those of the enemy who had accepted British rule. The moment a Boer surrendered the pro-Boers had no further interest in him.

Never had there been such sacrifices by a distant section of the race. This section was conciliatory, and had no desire to cut up the Boers; but also had shrewder notions as to how to conciliate them. Theorists at home, while conciliatory, were against a policy which would prove to pay better, that of fighting to the last gap. Lord Milner said he was against particularism; he wished equally well to Pretoria and to the country, and agricultural sections of the people. His duty was to all of South Africa. There was an enormous amount of work to be done, and it was not necessary to wait until the end of the war before beginning. While he was oposed to setting up civil government in opposition to military government, he favored the speediest resumption of the normal life, subject to the military requirements, that it was right and necessary for each man to do a part of the military duties. He was against giving ficticious importance to remnants of the enemy by allowing them to paralize the industries of the country. The transition from war to peace, would be gradual, but would be no worse for that. It was their duty now to prepare to work to enlighten the stress of the feverish activity which prevailed after the war. Lord Milner's speech was enthusiastically received. At the conclusion the chairman proposed the health of lord Kitchener, who was absent from the city. Lord Kitchener sent word that he could not be( present, and expressed the hope that the army would soon finish its business in South Africa, WeDon't KEEP OUR GOODS TO LOOK AT WE SELL AND HE-BUY /\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD You will find our stock complete with the most up-to-date FURNITURE CARPETS HIGH ART PICTURES LINOLEUMS AT LOWEST PRIDES Don't miss seeing our fine line of Xmas goods.

Two of the former husbands were divorced, and tho third had died, and tho last one had quit after the tenvu day. She stated that her reasons, for marrying tho last one was that he claimed that he was a foreman at ono of tho mines, and was in receipt of $.!.ffl) per day. For some time after thov were married he had not been working, after which timo he had left for one of the mines and had given her $30. Since that time he had been away from the city and had not requested tho pleasure of her company on the trip. She claimed that ho had neglected to support her and she was not able to support herself. The defendant in the case was not examined and the case was again remanded to give the contending parties an opportunity to settle the matter out of court. In the case of this not being done the case will likely come up again before his worship in the morning. Those who desire cheap furniture will have an opportunity of getting it during the mortgagee's sale of the stock of J. G. Bunyan & Company, which commences today. An announcement of .the sale appears in another column. Judge Forin has one conscientious hen.

Thompson, late manager of the Yukon Sun, and formerly connected with the Nelson Miner, will shortly leave Dawson for Ottawa to.-Interest the Canadian cabinet in a project to try the Marconi wireless telegraph to connect Dawson with the outside world at Ashcroft on the Canadian Pacific. After finishing his work at Ottawa Mr. Thompson will go to New York and enter the Marconi laboratory to make a thorough study of the wireless telegraph. He will endeavor to personally interest Marconi in the project. The matter to be tested will be the-transmission of signals across land as well as sea. High mountain ranges intervene between here and the rest of the world, and to send wireless messages over them will be the thing to accomplish. Mr. Thompson's plan is to flrst try a signal station at White Horse, and later establish one at Ashcroft. ughtepiiig'..' Sale Eng- AT THE HOTELS.
