"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/1.0189276/source.json"@en . "application/pdf"@en .

Fmmerfelt, assistant to president Miner of the Granby Consolidated Mining, Smelting & Power Company, operating mines at Phoenix and smelting -works at Grand Forks, in the Boundary section of Yale district, returned this week from the East, whero he went after he had helped settle the Fernio strike. He says if the Granby company could have operated its smelting works to their full capacity continuously last year dividends would'.have been paid. Even now the company, owing to a shortage of coke, is not in a position to work its smelting .plant to the full capacity; but this shortage is not likely to continue long, for the Crow's Nest Pass Coal Company people are doing 'everything possible to place themselves in a position to supply every demand. Mr. Flumerfelt says the Granby company is out of debt, and with copper at 15 cents is making money and will be able to pay dividends this year. The company has as shareholders some of the best- known Boston and New York copper men, and these people will visit the mines and smelters of the company within a month. The Granby company has had a long and uphill pull, but its president had faith in the undertaking and never hesitated when- money was needed.\" With thc Granby paying dividends, British Columbia will got a 'boost that will result in sending capital tliis way. A FISH ItrVER CAMP BOOMING. According to tho Camborne Miuer, that camp is going right ahead and is very prosperous. Every man in the camp is at work and more are needed. About 15 men are employed at thc now bridge on one of Camborue's streets; tho Ophir- Lade syndicate are employing 30 men constructing dam, excavating for stamp mill and clearing; the Calumet & B. C. have 30 men clearing tramline and mill-site and constructing dam; the sawmill company is employing several men at the mill and several others with teams getting out., \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDi-imber.;., carpenters, are all,busy,:, sbmey Street grading is belngdone, ao that7 be-7 sides the miners the money to be distributed next pay day among the workmen of the Camborne camp will be a very considerable amount. John Knox, late chief engineer of the Trimountain mine of Houghton, Michigan, has arrived to take charge of the Eva mine. Since his arrival he has been devoting his time to the preliminaries necessary to the clearing of the tramline, building dam, and installation of stampmill. The Eva company have a water record of 700 inches on Pool creek. A flume 4000 feet long will convoy water along tho bank of the creek to a point having an elevation of 400 feet abovo the millsite; from thence it will bo brought in steel pipe to the Pelton water wheels which will furnish 300 horso ' power. Tho tramline will be 4200 feet in length and its carrying capacity will be 100 tons a day. The contract calls for thc completion of tbe tramline by July 31st, by which time tho stampmill is expected to be ready. SHIPPING HIGH-GRADE ORE. Tho famous Silver King mine on Toad mountain, five miles south of Nelson, is making a good showing under the management of M. S. Davys. This is the mine that started prospectors to Kootenay in 1887 and following years and it has produced millions of dollars in copper and silver. The ore was so high grade in the early 90s that it could be handled at a profit after deducting $100 a ton for transportation and smelting charges. Mr. Davys secured a lease on the property last August and is now working 25 men. Of the last shipment of 200 tons to the Hall Mines smelter at Nelson, part of it ran 25 per cent copper and 200 ounces silver. Mr. Davys is well satisfied with the returns so far, and is sanguine of the future. Columbia mines and also his first visit to the province. He is satisfied with his mining venture, and fairly astonished at what he has seen of British Columbia's mountains, valleys, rivers and lakes. While he is a native of Canada and prominent at one time in Manitoba politics, being attorney-general in the Norquay government, Mr. Hamilton is now a citizen of the United States. AN EAST KOOTENAY MINE. The Ptarmigan is one of the chief operating mines in the Windermere district, in East Kootenay. It is situated on Red Line creek, and has been worked all winter by a force of about thirty men. The mine has two veins, one varies from three to thirty inches in width, carrying high silver values besides a good showing in gold and copper. The second averages 25 feet in width, carrying 2 per cent copper, 80 to 50 ounces in silver, and about & in gold. Last year the company installed a four drill compressor and a double cable tramway is now on thc ground and will be put up' a little later in the season. When completed the tramway will convey the ore from the mine to the compressor and mill site, a distance of about 8000 feet. The plans of the- company for the coming summer include the erection ,of an electric power plant' on Horse Thief creek, and a 50 ton concentrator. About 100 tons of ore have been brought down to the landing ready for shipment to the smelter, and more will follow when the roads are in. shape. Later, when the new tramway is running, the shipments will be greatly increased, as a large amount of ore lias been blocked out during the past winter. FATAL ACCIDEFT IN A MILL. On Tuesday William J. Salmon, foreman, working in- the Wilcox mill at Ymir, was found by tho men when they returned from breakfast, entangled in tho machinery, dead. Dr. E. C. Arthur of Nelson held an inquest on the body on Wednesday. The deceased was alone in tho mill when the accident occurred. It is supposed that he was wearing a loose jumper whicli was- split up one side, tho split portion being found tightly wound around tho smooth surface of the shaft. Owing to the noise of the stamps no shout could be heard outside. Thero was a deep gash iu the back of his head and the legs, which'struck thc ground every time the ^ shaft revolved, were worn away in shreds above the knees, and quite a deep hole w^s made just under tlie shaft. A verdict of accidental death was returned by the jury. Salmon had been in Ymir about tln*ee years. He was unmarried, about 25 years of age, and hits relative.-* in Ottawa. The body was embalmed and shipped to Ottawa. Thomas Wilson, a friend of the family going in charge. MINING NOTES.

A new pumping plant for tho Province ARRANGING FOR A STAMP MILL. \" Jim \" Wardner of Spokane, accompanied by O. E. Hamilton of St. Paul, is at the Hume. .They have been over on the north fork of Kettle river taking a look at the gold properties of tho Cherry Creek Mining Company, in which they are shareholders. The properties of the company are looking well, one tunnel being in about 200 feet, all in ore. The ore is gold, and arrangements are being made to erect a mill \"on the property.. This is Mr___Lamilton's first verituxw-in-British. Among the first arrivals in thc stampede resulting from the discovery of ore on Toad mountain,- a short distance south of Nelson, was Thomas Cottrell Collins, a native of North Carolina. \" Tom \" had drifted north from the South in the early 80s, and for a time was employed at one of \"Dick\" Fry's trading posts, near Sand Point, Idaho. While an Indian trader he had many thrilling adventures, and often- crossed the boundary line to Indian camps along Kootenay river. In 1887, along with Dr. David LaBau, Charles Ewiug, and Nicholas Noon, he discovered what is locally known as the Lizzie O. group of claims, on the east fork of Cottonwood Smith creek, three miles south;, east of Nelson. Since then .\"iTom \" has prospected, mined;\" and taken life easy. He made quite a stake during thc Rossland excitement and spent it in travelling.

One is that in August, 1901, three members of the Dunsmuir government, namely, Turner, Eberts, and McBride, arranged with George McL. Brown, the executive agent of the Canadian Pacific Railway Company, to turn over to the company 000,000 acres of laud in southeast Kootenay in lieu of 900,000 acres earned by the company for building sections one and three of the Columbia & Western railway. Brown claims that the proposal for the exchange came from the government. Eberts is inclined-to favor Brown's contention. Turner is in England, and has not been heard from. McBride does not seem to know much about the deal. Wells, who was not in Victoria when the deal was arranged, _says_^the=proposal=for=,the=-exchange came from Brown. Duusmuh* was in California. Prentice was on the sick list. About a month later Turner resigned to accept the job of agent-general in London, and Dunsmuir invited John C. Brown of New Westminster to join the government. This action so incensed McBride that he' resigned his position with the understanding that Eberts would do likewise. Eberts held on, however, and two days after McBride's resignation, an order-in-council wa.s passed authorizing crown grants to be prepared for the 000,000 acres of land in question. Tho crown grants were issued in October and were placed iu Wells's keeping. Fact number two is that a mouth or so afterwards, at Wells's request, a conference was held between himself and Dunsmuir and Preutico, Eberts not being invited. At this conference it was agreed that thc crown grants for thc 000,000 acres of laud in southeast Kootenay should only be delivered on thc railway company agreeing to build the road from Midway to Spence's Bridge. Wells was entrusted with the negotiations, and went to Montreal for that purpose. What occurred in Montreal is not known to anyone other than foiu1 men, whose names are W. C. Wells, chief commissioner of lands and works; sir'Thomas G. Slianghnessy, president of the Canadian Pacific Railway Company; George McL. Brown, then executive agent of the Canadian Pacific, and W. J. Taylor, law partner of attorney-general Eberts. Wells says Shaughuessy would not agree to the terms he was directed to demand, aud at no time were the crown grants out of his possession. Shauglmessy says Wells did not deliver the crown grants. Brown intimates that Wells delivered the crown grants, but afterwards got them back on a pretext. Taylor says the reason Wells did not deliver the crown grants was because he (Wells) wanted a slice of the land. Wells also states that Taylor offered him J.0,000 acres of tho land to deliver the crown grants without insisting on building the Midway to Spence's Bridge extension. Which of the four is tolling the truth? Wells brought back the crown grants to Victoria, and in March, J 902, an order- in-council was passed cancelling them. About that time Colonel E., CI. Prior was taken into the Dunsmuir government asniinister of mines. In May following a bill -was introduced in the legislative assembly, which, had it passed, would have allowed the Canadian Pacific to make selections, anywhere iu Yale and Kootenay districts, of land due the Columbia & Western under its subsidy. This was clearly contrary to the provis- sions of the original subsidy [act, and no explanation has been giveii why the change was made. The bill was not read a second time, ahd was on the order paper when the legislature adjourned in June. In the fall Dunsmuir resigned the premiership and Prior was made premier, much to thc disappointment of Eberts, who had made a deal with the McBride following. Prior blundered in keeping Eberts in his government, for he must have been aware of some of the details, of the Columbia & Western deal, and he knew that Eberts and Eberts's Mends were quietly \"knifing\" him. The legislature met in April last, aud enough had leaked out about the cancellation of the jnow notorious crown grants to mnbe_it_ \"absolutely necessary for Prior to take a stand, and the stand he took i.s to his credit. A bill was introduced ratifying the order-in-council cancelling thc crown grants, and it was passed unanimously, three members, of whom Eberts was one, leaving the house before the vote was taken. After considerable delay Die bill was assented to and it is now l:tw. Eberts cannot remain in tlie -.'ovcrn- ment, for ho clearly showed he was opposed to the passage of tho bill. Ho should havo resigned tho divy the bill was introduced and stood by his gnus. Wells, however much he may bo censured for trying to keep the deal quiet after lie had blocked it, must be given credit for returning the crown grants to the province, for had he been what his enemies sav he is, THE CROWN GRANTS WOULD NOW BE IN POSSESSION OF THE CANADIAN PACIFIC RAILWAY COMPANY. Every subsidy given by British Columbia to aid iu the construction of railways has been tainted with jobbery. The British Columbia Southern land subsidy was a job. Tho Columbia & Western land subsidy was a job. The Nakusp & Slcc.tn guarantee was a job. The Nelson & Fort Sheppard land subsidy was a job. The Columbia & Kootenay land subsidy was a job. So were all the other cash and land subsidies. None of tho subsidies were granted in accordance with a defined policy of tbe government which granted them; but, instead, wero granted to satisfy men who hnd a \"pull\" with the government. These men with a \"pull\" had only one object, and that object was not the good of the province, but the good of themselves individually. Then, is it any wonder that there arc scandals such as the one that i.s now being investigated at Victoria? And these scandals will continue to crop out just as long as gov-n'n- nients tire weak enough to grant niihvuy promoters and charter nurager-: suksi-lies in cither cash or Land. Dr. G. A. B. Hall, S. H. Taylor, K. C, iind J. A. Turner are all three mentioned in connection with tlie Liberal nomination for the City of Nelson \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD at the next provincial general election, which is almost s-vre to take place iu Sopi-cmlier. The Mugwumps and Soreheads have (heir candidate in the field ahv-niy, and he lias been assured tho support of the 'thirteen men who organized, in Doc'imber last, ;*.n assooi-'.tion to protect tlio property iiiteret'.ts of the people of Kelson. The Conservative nominee will lie a man who can carry the city without question. ' The Liberals of the cloven riding:; in Kootenay and the Boundary have perfected an organization which has for its object the enforcement of the unit rule. If the Liberals succeed in electing any number of their candidates at the next provincial election, those elected are to vote a.s a. unit in the legislature. It appears by this that the Liberals of Kootenay and the Boundary are not worrying over tho name of the party's leader; but instead, are looking after the anticipated loaves and fishes. Smith Curtis,'member for Rossland riding, and the Victoria Times, u newspaper that never tires of sounding the praises of the member from Rossland, both condemn the mining committee of the legislative assembly for refusing to change existing mining laws in accordance with the recommendations of the executive of of the Provincial Miniug Association. The truth is, the executive of the Provincial Mining Association did not submit, or did not even suggest, a single amendment to the Mineral Act, notwithstand-, ing. oft-repeated assertions that the Mineral Act of Britisli Columbia is a most imperfect law. Tho executive of the Provincial Mining Association, however, did submit ;t number of amendments to the Placer Mining Act; but the amendments were all, or nearly all, based on a radical change iu tho act, that is, changing the title of placer ground from leases to crown grants. There are honest differences of opinion tts to the advisability of making such a change, as was clearly shown in the discussion that took place last Monday in the mining committee. The committee, however, unanimously .recommended that thc amendments fo the Placer Mining Act proposed by the Provincial Mining Association bo printed and circulated iu the placer mining districts of the province, so a.s to give tho people a fail- chance to consider them on their merits. This action is not to thc liking of Smith Curtis and the Victoria Times, but were the province to bo run by Smith Curtis and the Victoria Times for even so short a time as si week, the chances nre no ono, not even Smith Curtis and thc editor of tho Times, would be satisfied with the running.

The people of British Columbia need not expect recognition at Ottawa for any of their just demands so long an the members from British Cohimbi-i nre both moral cowards and locally selrish. British Columbia, owing to her small representation in the house of commons, wants men not only broad minded but unselfish; men who, while looking out for their constituents, will not overlook the fact that what is best for British Columbia is best for all the people of British Columbia. That members of thc legislative assembly are bribed is undoubtedly true; but the bribery is in the way of something for their constituents, and not for themselves personally. Few members have tho moral courage to resist the temptation of accepting appropriations for roads, bridges, and public buildings out of all proportion to the amount of revenue contributed by the people of the ridings they represent, and were they to refuse such appropriations what a howl would go np against them from the very people who think nothing of hurling accusations of personal bribery against them. For every letter tliat a.member receives recommending retrenchments iu expenditures, or showing how savings could be affected, a hundred aro received demanding increased appropriations. When the people learn to be honest, they will havo good and economical government, but not until then..

The Nelson Tribune PUBLIC MEETING OF THE CITIZENS OF NELSON SPEAKERS STRONGLY IN FAVOR OF LEAD TARIFF Mayor Rose called si pnliHc meeting of tlio cvti/A-us of Nelson on Monday last in response to the following request: Sir.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDYon :ire aware tliat nt a recent meeting of Hie executive of the Provincial Mining Association at Victoria, resolutions were passed in support of certain bonuses in aid of the lead mining industry of British Columbia. In our opinion tho figures nre inadequate to the needs of the mines, and at the same time they tend to stultify the efforts now being made hy the delegates of (lie producers at Ottawa to secure, a bonus of \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD15 per ton on lead produced, with less than which amount, wc are convinced, the lead mining industry cannot prosper. In view of the pressing needs of the district and of tho harm which may bo done by any apparent difference of opinion as to the amount of any bonus -which may be granted, wo, the undersigned, beg that yon will cause a meeting to be called at the board of trade rooms for Monday, ilny 4th, atf 4 o'clock in the afternoon, for the purposo of taking such action as may be deemed best in support of the eontcn- tention for a bonus amounting to \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD15 per ton of load produced from the mines. \"We are, sir, your obedient servants, Fred Irvine, II. Bj-xsrs, J. A. Gilkor, ,T. 1*1. Wallace, Geo. K. Tackabury, T. G. Procter, E. Gigot, P. Burns <& Co., W. A. Macdonald, Edward H. Applewhaite. A, large and representative gathering attended in the Board of Trade rooms. The mayor was in tho chair and T. G. Procter acted a.s secretary. Among those present were Messrs. J. Johnstone, R. R. Hedley, Captain Duncan, W. P. Tierney, H. Harris, J. Laing Stocks, Stamford, Croasdaile, J. L. Parker, S. S. Fowler, A. H. Kelly, S. S. Taylor, O'Reilly, Annable, Deanc, Starkey, J. M. Lay', Frank Phillips, G. C. McLaren, II. B. Irving, Devlin, Tuck and others. The mayor explained that the meeting wasjcallcd to protest against tho action of the executive of the Provincial Mining Association, who,hnd forwarded to the. Dominion government a request for a bounty of $10 per ton, which miningmen who understood the position pronounced wholly inadequate. S. S. Fowler explained that ho and other mining men thought that a serious mistake had been made in the figures submitted by the Provincial Muting Association. If tho-government Only gave, tho, relief suggested, it would not result in opening any properties now closed down. The minimum bonus of any use would be '% of a cent per pound of load or \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD15'.per\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDtori.'- The expenses of silver mining were greater than wore supposed, and although it might bo possible to\"take'-' out a ton of ore for i^l to \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD6 in rare instances, such as the St. Eugene mine, the cost to produce a ton of. concentrates at the Whitewater mine was never less than $22 per'ton.. Tho actual figures for producing ono.ton of concentrates at the Enterprise mine was'.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD34,. and it was probable that no mino could putja ton of concentrates at the shipping point for less than $20, and he ventured. to assort that tho average cost throughout this section would run from $80 to ftiSS per ton. It wns only normal conditions which could be dealt with, and although tho price of metals might rise, there was no certainty this Svoiud occur. The executive of the Provincial Mining Association had acted Avithout duo consideration, and Messrs. Retallack and Pratt felt that their efforts were being stultifyed. There was in reality no proper representative of the lead mining industry on tho executive committee, not one man representing a lead producing mine, and whilst giving them cveiy credit for the spirit of the rosohrtion sent to Ottawa, he thought tlie sooner the mistake was found out the better. Ho therefore moved, seconded by Mi-. Croasdaile, a resolution which after an amendment offered by Mr. Taylor had been interpolated read as follows: Whereas, the executive of the Provincial Mining Association of British Columbia, in its effort to assist tne lead-mining industry, has recommended the granting _ofj3ertain bounties in aid thereof, without, in~6ur^oiniiioiTi^haviug'had^ the** advice =\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD- of- those who are competent to judge of tho costs of production; and Whereas, this meeting is of opinion that the amount of the bonuses suggested by such executive is inadequate to the needs of the lead mining industry, even under normal conditions, and Whereas, tho resolutions of such executive have been forwarded to the Dominion government, and may tend to create a false impression as to the real requirements of the load mining industry, and the extent of any bonus that is necessary to revive such industry; therefore, bo it Resolved, that this mass mooting of the citizens of Nelson hereby expresses its disapproval of tho action and resolution of tho executive of the Provincial Mining Association in this matter. Resolved, that while we consider that no bonus which wo could expect thc government to grant would bo adequate, in view of the unwillingness of the Dominion government to properly protect the lead industry by an adjustment of the tariff, wc endorse the contention of the load.miners of Kootenay for a bonus of at least fifteen dollars per ton of lead in ore, payable directly and entirely to the ore producer, under the direction of the minister of trado and commerce subject to such regulations as may bo made by the goveruor-gcneral-in-cotmcil; and bo it further Resolved, that this meeting reiterates its opinion as to the necessity for the readjustment of the tariff as to lead and lead products imported into Canada; and if such general readjustment be not made during this session of parliament, that, in any event tho anomaly as to duty on corroded lead should bo removed, by increasing tho duty thereon to at least thirty per cent ad valorem. .T. J. Campbell said, when this subject was discussed at Victoria I was present. Telegrams were sent to Mr. Retallack, but he could not be reached by wire, and the executive passed the resolution thinking immediate action was necessary. Although representing tho smelter interest, and there was a feeling in Victoria that home smelters should have some measure of protection, I suggested then that if the lead miners would agree on what they wanted we would loyally support thoir application. Wo explained oiu- position when the tariff question was discussed, what our rates would bo, and I took it for granted that everyone understood that wc would tako no different position if a bonus were granted in place of an increased tariff. AVo aro willing to loyally support whatever position the lead miners take. J. L. Parker, manager of thc North Star mine, said meetings were being held in Fort. Steelo, Moyie, Cranbrook, Fernie, etc. Ho believed very strongly in tariff adjustment, but if wo get a bonus of $15 per ton, which ho was prepared to accept as a temporary measure, we shall see considerable activity iu prospecting as well as actual mining. The Liberal government is awakening to the fact that British Columbia is a part of Canada. We must insist upon such changes being made in tho tariff that lead can be both smelted and refined in Canada. To thc south ores running 7 per cent lead and 10 ouuees in silver are profitably handled. If such a thing wore made possible in tho Slocan district, where wo now have 500 men at work there would be 7000. There hod been considerable discussion in the press on the charges made by the home smelters. Speaking for the North Star mine, he could say that the charges made, by the home smelters\" wero less than those made by the United States plants. Whilst the charges at Nelson and Trail were \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD24 a ton, those in the States amounted to \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD27.75 or $;i.75 per ton in favor of the home smelters. He believed in Canada for the Canadians, and.homo smelters should have the preference even if the charges were the same as foreign ones, but they were less. A New Denver paper recently at: tacked the Canadian smelters iu a most ^ scurrilous article, thc statements made being incorrect, unwarranted and entirely uncalled for. Articles of this kind did harm iu the East where the standing of the paper was not known. At the .time tho tariff legislation question was started the Helena smelter people wrote him offering to tako ore. He informed them that 1000 tons was instantly available and pressed for rates, but was put 'off from time to time with plausible excuses until he became satisfied that the move was merely to prevent a tariff increase being granted. When the smelter trust had refused to take the North Star output, alleging too high C.P.R.'freight rates, his company had written- offering to got the freight rates reduced, bxtt the trust had refused to take the ore and had only reopened negotiations when the tariff q*aes- tion was. raised. The trust was trying to make it appear that they were able to take all .the lead ores of British Columbia, that the goverhm6nt would think there was-ho necessity for an alteration of the tariff; which would have the. effect of keeping the ores in Canada. Fred Starkey.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDI am very pleased to hear that .Canadian smelters7 have been doing so Hvell for the miners.: It is the first tinib.I have over heard such a thing, and should be more widely known. The general'., impression given has been that they did not do as well as the American smelters*; Our smelters should certainly bo encouraged if this is the case.' Do you say that the American lead trust wore interested enough to try and prevent the tariff increase-, Mr. Parker? Mr. Parlcer.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDYes, I do. I think their actions showed what they were after. T. G. Procter said the government would look after the division of the bonus. Mr.: Fowler said the division of the bonus might safely bo loft to the discretion of the ministers or the gov? ernor7 general in council. The main thing is unanimity-of feeling; the prime thing is the bonus.\"' If -undue-'prices were asked b*f the smelters, or if they had not the capacity to take care of tho ore offering, the government, could then arrange for the ore to be. sent to the States or elsewhere under proper conditions. S. S. Taylor said the present was a vitally important time to lead miners. The resolution implied that $15 per ton was enough. This was not so. What was wanted was i.J_ cents oi* $80.per ton. We do not want tlie bonus, which is only a temporary arrangement and which cau be altered at any time. What wTo want is a fixed tariff, so that capitalists will, know that for so long, at any rate, a certain amount of aid can bo depended upon. 'What4s=-wanted=is^something,stable._not_ a bonus which may be altered in a short time. If an adequate tariff was given it would mean 'assistance for years. It was said the amount of lead consumed in Canada was only 1500 tons, perhaps so, but Canada was prosperous now as never before aud in the next five years who could tell what the consumption of load would bo. Got a proper tariff arrangement and capital would flow into the country. A borms is merely temporary relief. The tariff is the natural, right and permanent relief for our troubles for years to come. It could not bo too strongly impressed upon tho government that the bonus was looked upon merely as a makeshift. We must not bo woak in tho face of men -who know nothing about the lead question. Wo know exactly what wc want and we know tho relative merits of bonus aud tariff. Put the lead business on a sound footing, it is tho burning question of this province today. Do not let the governmont think tho bonus is an adequate remedy, tho only sufficient remedy is a tariff which will aid in the steady production of lead for years to come, influence capital to build the necessary smelters and refineries, aud ensure the prosperity of this the richest district of the province of British Columbia. The mover and seconder agreeing, the resolution was altered iu accordance with Mr. Taylor's stiggestion. H. E. Croasdaile thought the bonus proposition would do the most good and opposed Mi*. Taylor's tariff speech. A. H. Kcllyjsnpportcd tho original resolution ; he thought the bonus was till wo could get at present. J. Laing Stocks said he heartily approved of all that Mr. Taylor laid said; the meeting should promptly pass the resolutions with the suggested alterations. Ho was glad to bear testimony in stipport of Mr. Parker's reference to tho home smelters. After discussing terms with tlie representative of the lead trust for sotno hours, ho had uo hesitation in deciding that the homo smelters gave hotter returns for the product of the Highland mine, of which he was the manager, than he could get from the lead trust. \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDT. J. Campbell was much gratified at the remarks of Mr. Parker and Mr. Stocks. As fur as the Hall Mines smelter was con- corned, there was no worry about tlie statements made in some papers. He did not know who paid for the attacks. Tlie home smelters had frequently been misrepresented, and it was very satisfactory to hear unsolicited testimonials from their clients. F. J. Deane said that as a rule the papers of the province were ready aud willing to honestly aid tho mining industry in every possible way.

The mining men should do some active propaganda work before next session of parliament and educate public opinion in the East. The resolution was put aud carried unanimously. BRIDGE WHIST. Rudiments of the Game for Beginners by A. Winner. Bridge Whist is now* widely known, and of all card games has become most popular. Under various names a game of cards somewhat similar to bridge has been played in Russia, Holland, Tin-key and-'France, for twenty or thirty years, but it is only in the last five years or so that it has obtained any hold upon the affections of card players iu ngland, the E United States, and Canada. Thc following description of the game is only meant for those' who wish to gain sufficient knowledge to play intelligently in the family circle, those who want to become experts will do well to consult, \"John Doe,\" \"Foster,\" \"Leigh,\" Hellespont\"-or some other of the many books on the subject. For the benefit of those who have never played the game it may be mentioned that bridge is played with the firll pack of fifty-two' cards, it is always better to have two packs, one of which is shuffled by the dealer's partner whilst the other isjoeing dealt. The game is played by four persons who cut for partners, the two lowest playing against the two highest, the lowest cut of the four getting the first de.nl. The dealer aud his partner the dummy sit opposite each other, the leader ou thc dealer's left and the leader's partner is on tlie dealer's right. The cards tire cut and dealt as in ordinary whist, but no trump is turned up, and there aro no misdeals in bridge. Thc position at tho table Ts as follows, and for the future tho players will bo referred to as far tis possible by tho letters A. B. Y. Z. Dummy Ij.-adei- Dealer There arc two separate scores to be played for, tricks points and honors, it is only thc trick points that win tho game, the first six tricks taken are called a book, every trick taken beyond six\", \"count so many points according to tho suit which is trumps for that deal. As soon as either side7' reaches or passes thirty, that wins the game, when above thirty is made, all above is credited to the winners. ,. Three games of thirty or more points each is a rubber, if tho first two games 'are'won by tho same partners' the third is. not played,-, the side whining the rubber add 100 points as a bonus. The chief difference between bridge and ordinary'whist is the method of making the trump. When the cards are dealt, the dealer examines his hand, and announces the suit he makes trumps for that deal, or he may elect to make it no trumps. Each trick above the first six count 'towards game according to the following table of trick values: When spades are trumps 2 points each trick. . When clubs are trumps 4 points each hick. When diamonds are trumps (i points each trick. When hearts are trumps 8 points each trick? =^=^=^=- \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD- named, the opponents cannot alter it in any way, but have the privilege of doubling, supposing Z passes to Y and Y makes spades trumps, A then can double, or if he tliinks his hand is not good enough he can say to his partner B \"may I play?\" B has then his chance, and he can either say \"I double\" or \"if you please\" if B says \"I double\" then Y can either double him again or say \"I am satisfied,\" if tho latter Z can also double, the doubling process may bo continued indefinitely. A having lead, dummy Y exposes his cards, and his partner Z plays the cards, dummy's* further interest iu tho hand being limited to calling his partner's attention should he loud from tho wrong hand, or if he renounce any suit, say clubs, then it is dummy's place to say \"having no clubs partner,\" after the play of the hand is finished 'dummy may call attention to any error in tho count of tricks or the score for honors. There are several ways of scoring, perhaps the most simple is as below .see No. -1. A B Y _ HONORS POINTS llOXOI'S A B- Y 7. 10 \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD10 30 \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD10 100 lllti \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD10 15ti POINTS No. 1 No. 2 When it is mado no trumps 12 points each trick. Thc game being thirty points it takes tliree tricks in no trumps, four tricks in hearts or five in diamonds, to win the game. There are livo honors iu bridge, tho A. K. Q. J. and 10 of the suit mado trumps, in u no trump declaration the four aces tiro the only honors. In making trumps a.s between two suits of equal number, tho ono containing tho greater number of honors will usually be selected. Tho majority of honors, three out of five is called simple honors, and is equal to two tricks in that suit, four honors between partners counts tho same as four tricks and livo honors between partners equals five tricks, if four or five honors are held iu one hand thoy aro more valuable tis will be seen liy tho following tabic: It the trump suit is Fpadeseliilwdiuiiionds hearts Three honors count \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD1 S 1-2 10 Four honors count S Hi 21 Five honors count 111 'JO il \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDid Four honors in one hand hi '.VI ls til Four in one hand, li ftli in partner's IS \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDli M 72 Five in one hand \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD>o \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD10 (in SO When there is no trump suit, three aces between partners are worth iiO. Four aces between partners aro worth 40. Four aces in one hand aro worth 100. If each side hold two aces there is no honor score. The honor score has no effect in winning or losing the game and is scored separately from the trick points. If one side wins 12 out of 1*1 tricks in any deal it is called a Little .Slam and 20 points are added iu tho honor column, if nil 1J1 tricks ore v.'ou it is a Grand Slam and 40 points are added. When a trump suit is declared and n player has no trump in his hand it is called chicane, and adds to his partner's honor column, by the value of simple honors, 4 in spades, 8 in clubs, 12 in diamonds or JO in hearts. The dealer, has the first opportunity to make trumps, if ho is not strong enough to mako no trumps, of a red suit, ho should pass to his partner saying \"I leave it\" or y'l pass it\" he is not allowed to consult'with dummy. When the dealer leaves it, dummy must make, he knows his partner is probably weak in the red suits, therefore il\" nut strong enough himself to make rod or no trumps, he will make it clubs or spades, spades ii* very weal: as iu that suit he will lose, the smallest count, if the adversaries hold tho better cards. The trump suit having been When the play of the hand is finished the trick score'is put down in the column under the centreline and the honor score if any, is put clown above the. centre line, for example, see No. 2, in the first hand A B score 8 tricks- in hearts. 'J times' 8-equals 24 below, and having 3 honors score 10 above. The second hand Y Z score' three in no ti-uuips, 3 times 12 equals 86'with 8. aces equals.'_0 above, \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDwinning the first game, you then draw a line -under', the figures in points.

The tendency is kept alive by the day goods people, * and the display at Washington's is certainly tempting and quite fatal if the dear old thing of a hubby has been generous of late. The Bonnington crush brought up the question .of. ultra furnishing we discussed some time back.. It is perfectly bewildering the maze of furniture, bric-a-brac, stools, tables, vases, lamps, one has to navigate through nowadays in a drawing room. I nearly broke a valuable bibelot .the other day at Mrs. Darcey'sand you know what that would have meant. The subject leads mc to reflect on the photo decoration craze.

Harold now tells me that relations are delightfully harmonious and that although the club is not going to get a cent of the celebration fund, everybody at thc boat house is delighted. He said something about going to change the approach into a sort of pier (Margate or Brighton style) and charge for admittance, also anyone who tied up to it. There is a bit of a brco/.e in town over thc suggestion, but I don't think the people realize the full advantages tou town of a pier. Thoy have been the making of the. abovo two and many other towns, why not this? I was at Mrs. Lane BttylilT's the other day aud who do you think I met? That Mrs. Robertson Gnrney.

Of courso we all wont to the library ball at the now Armory aud had a delightful time. The floor was splendid, aud there being plenty of room, there was more inspiration to dance, and male partners were more plentiful than usual.

Edith in her last letter told me that at high functions it has become it positive, strain for the hostess to get ti suflicient number of dancing men and it is whispered that rank outsiders have received invitations iu order to keep things moving.
