The Rossland Miner of Ihelllh insl., touching upon the Bubjeci of the possibility of a smelter being erected at Grand Forks says : "Grand Forks has commenced lo experience the lot that fulls to all towns of great piomise. The subsidy fiend has Invaded the community and is asking for all that there is in sight. The bonus desired in llie present case is a valuable concession of ground for ii smelter site and certain important water right* on Kettle river, near lhe town. The usual mysterious syndicate with untold millions tn Invest is behind Ihe scheme, "The future nf Grand Furks is Inn secure to call fur i In* snet idee uf valuable property for such purposes. Besides, it is lime enough fui Grand Forks in induce smeller men who mean Inisiuess tu establish works there when fuel and other necessary nialeiial for the I real inenl. nf ures cnn lie economically obtained, In their delllwrallons of the inatterof l he erection of a smeller it would be well fnr Ibe uood people uf (liiind Furks in hear iu iniiul lliis Important fuel : If the Canadian Pacific railway ever controls tin- carrying trade nf ilu- Bnundiiry country, Ihal inad uill doits uimiisi in prevent lbe operation of smelters there as it has already done in Kootenay, All the Big Cui'pnriillun cares about Is the lunge*! haul pussilile un llu* ure, and lhe unfortunate mine owner bus to pay fm- ii." Analyzed, llle utterances nf ihe Miner will he found In In* very misleading und tineai'ii wilh self Interest. Tlie parties who have "invaded" llie Grand Forks district are certainly seeking a concession In Ihe sha| f u smelter site, uud certain waler rights, hut to considet that these are extremely valiialile requires a certain stretch of the Imagination, As far as tin* concession of gi ml is concerned the estimate would nut he wide uf tin* mark if it was put al $5IKI an acre, and no doubt 5 or 10 acres would he sufficient fur all purposes, It is "tsy lo be seen what lhat ivould amount to. The water right, wuuld he a more valuable concession, but, in this again, nn doubt if the peuple uf Grand Furks desire a smeller, the matter can be adjusted so thai all parties concerned -an allium all the water lhey may need fur years to come, without anyone being placed ai a disadvantage. Much us the Miner shews its hand in ils opening remarks, ll may Ih* said only to disclose ll llmroiighly when it refers lo IheO, P. R. and the treatment that that corporation will meet out to tiie people of Boundary ('reek, shuuld they ever build a line nf railway Ibriiiili lhe district, for It says lliiil Ibe t'. I1. II, wnnlil certainly discourage lhe holding of smelters here for the sake of hauling the ore of lhe mines long distances, Wilh regal d In this nsperl nf lhe question wn would like lo know, (and perhaps tin Miner may he able lo Inform us), what would In* the difference iu the treatment, shuuld Ihe pro- millers uf I he Cultluihln and Western enter this territory In the exclusion of ihe I'. P. It. Would the erection nl smelters he encouraged'; Or would we lie told that at a certain point on the Columbia river only could Ihe ores of the districl. be profitably treated. Which would it Ihi? A New Regulation. Tin* Brilish Coluuiliia Ga'.ette of tlle lib inst,, contains the following order sancl iiineil by I be Lieutenant-Governor ill Council providing for lhe repeal of certain sections of the Placer Mining and Mineral Acts of (181)1), (181)5) and (1806) touching the question of forfeiture nf properly by lapse of free miners certificate, and substituting therefor the following regulation ;— "Any person or joint stock coinpaiiy, lieing llu* holder nf any mining pro- party, whn may apply for relief u*j*uinst thu forfeiture of his nr ils interest iu sueh properly by reason of his or ils omission to obtain a new tree miner's certificate on or before Ihe ilnv following ibe expiration of lhe lapsed eeriitleate, shall, upon the pioduclion of an iiffldavltsetllng forth theclrciinislances nf such omission, and full particulars of tin* property affected, together with lbe declaiiitinn uf the Gold CnmuiiS* sinner or Mining Recurder for the division or divisions iu which such property is silu-ited, to the effect that, nn records adverse to the applicant's interesl lliereln have been made by biin lliiring lhe time in nhlcll the said applicant was not iu possession of a free ininer's eerlilleaie iu good bland- ing, and, furlllel', upun the payment to the minister uf mines nf a fee of $5, he entitled tn receive the relief sntlght for ; and the minister nf mines may thereupon give Instructions for lhe alteration oft.bednt.nnf Ihe applicant's free miner's certificate su as lo conform with the *datenf the expiration nf ilu* lapsed certificate ami may alsu give instructions for such a ndnirnt in In* made In the I mis affected as may he considered requisite." 4 . 4 For Deer Killing. About, twelve llionlhs agn Ihe fact was noled in this paper that, American Indians were following tin* practice of annually coming across the line inlo snme portions of Ihis district, and wantonly slaughtering deer. Tins slaughter was tint only carried nn fur Hn* purpose of obtaining a supply uf fund, but for number and less worthy purpose viz., lu ulil uin the hides nf the animals, These Indians came lung distances fnr the purpose of engaging lu the hunt., and su asliile were they that il was with difficulty their presence in tin- province was discovered. Deer carcases stripped nf their hides, and lefl In rut nu the h-ll sides, ■iway hack in tin- mountains, however, speak v-ilii>■■— ami this Intelligence having been given in tin* local police, lhey determined In keep a sharp look out lin-fall and if pussilile intercept llu* marauders. Their vigilance was a few days agn rewarded, Wind having been received tliat a big band nf Indians wus rauqi'il un Meyers creek, just iicruss the line. Officer Onrdoin nf Midway and a trusty scout, were de. tailed tu patrol ihe disirici around Buck Creek. Asa result un Ihe lltlh IInstant two Indians answering the j names of Turn Winn and Paul were I scooped in. These uu the 15ih were hroiighl before Justices of the Pence Norris and Hind charged wiih killing game without a licence, being nonresidents nf the province) with ex- posing deer for sale without the head being nu as required bv provincial stiilule; and iu llu- case nf Tout Wuin of carrying a concealed weapon. For each nf these offences HOdays' imprisonment was Inflicted, the Boulences tn nin concurrently, and Ihe magistrates through the Interpreter alsu warned I the culprits lhat. their le-appraranee liefore the court wnuld he followed hy ,i more severe punishment.

In this issue the mining records for the Osoynus division, are published I'm the first, lime. Fur the future we will endeavour to publish the records ofllie Osoyoos office regularly. * An estimate recenlly made, shows that at present, mining operations are being carried oo nn mote than a dozen different properties situated in what may be termed the Boundary Creek basin. This nf course includes properties under bond, Asa result Ihc disirici enjoys a payroll nf ahuul 15(1 men, and as these teceive nn an average say $.1 per day it will be seen Unit frnni $10,000 In $15,000 per month is lieing spent on development in wages alone. These figures to Borne will nn dnulii appear small, but when it is considered Unit Ihe whole of this money is lieing expended on development, and is being sunk in the ground, a different aspect of the case is presented. Given shipping facilities and smellers within reach, snuie nf tiie properties, Individually, could In time employ tin- whole force mentioned above, Inn a* these adjuncts to active mining operations are nol nuw in existence, ii i pleasing to note Unit without Ihem so much is being dune In prove the vasl mineral resources of the districl, Let the good wurk proceed fur without doubt il. provides the best assurance fur the early consl ruction uf bolh railways and smelters, JUDOtNO by the tenor of a letter addressed tn the Greenwood Cily council hy Post-Office Inspector Fletcher, Ihal gentleman seems in be laboring under the idea thai the members oft huGreen- wond council are the arbiters of (hi* whole population of ihis district.

The charge Iniil against two men resident near Midway of shooting with intent, was dismissed lust Wednesday, Ihe evidence being insufficient to sustain lin* charge. The prosecution served a good purpose though, in thnt il showed that the police are on the alert lo have sueh cases thoroughly investigated, so as lo secure effective punishment should an offence against the law be proved.
