CASCADE, B. C, NOVEMBER n, 1899. No. 1. LESSEN NOT YOUR FAITH Do Not Waste Your Money in Chasing Rainbow Wealth. CASCADE HIGHLY FAVORED BY NATURE The Smelter, with Other Industries, Will Come in Due Time���The C. P. R. Would Like to See Boundary Ore Treated. When the true history of the mining camps of British Columbia and, indeed, of the whole of western America, comes to be written, it will be seen that those who have proved themselves the most successful men, are they who carefully selected their locations and stayed there. It is possible that more time and money is wasted in unwarranted travel from one spot to another than on anything else in British Columbia. During a temporary lull, or in hearing of many glamorous reports from elsewhere, there is too much inclination to forget the old saying, "Better endure the ills ye have than fly to those ye know not of." Cascade today has as good and solid prospects as any inland town in this province. Her advantages are natural, physical and be- bond question. The life-time energy of a big community could not build up what we have here already ���the best power-site, the best smelter-site, the best railroad entry in the Boundary country, and mineral prospects that are improving all the time. Disappointment has been expressed because the C. .P. R. has not fulfilled expectations by put ting in a smelter right away. Let common sense apply, and the cold truth be told. The C. P. R. has Biwelters already, and those smelters have not heen unqualified successes. They have cost much money and resulted in more experience than profit. The Boundary country ores will need experimental tests. The most experienced smelter man in the world could not build �� plant which would treat those ores perfectly from the start. The railway company knows well by this time that in dealing with low-grade ores the utmost economy must be practiced; it knows that mistakes in smelter construction are twofold blunders; firstly in expense, and secondly in interference with routine process. Mr. Aldridge of the Trail smelter probably had a hidden meaning when he said the C. P. R. would hail with pleasure tne construction of smelters throughout the Boundary country by other parties. He well knew that the C. P. R. would profit in the hauling and mining development consequent thereon, and could afford to watch and wait and adopt the dual role of Br'er Fox and a certain monkey which used cat's paws to rake the chestnuts from out the smelters glow. And meanwhile the C. P. R. still holds its option on the Cascade smelter site, and the public may rest assured that when once the best treatment of Boundary ores has been decided upon, the biggest, best and most successful smelter in British Columbia will be built here in Cascade by the Canadian Pacific Railway Company. A Second Contingent for the Transvaal. An Associated Press dispatch says that British Columbia people are overjoyed at the prospect of the Dominion government sending a second contingent for service in the Transvaal. The general sentiment is that if British Columbia is allowed to raise a full regiment the work could be completed in three days. The cost of equipment would be defrayed by popular subscription. It may happen before Oom Paul and his followers are well trounced, every province in the Dominion will have an opportunity of demonstrating the prowess of its young warriors. RUMBLES ON THE RAILS. Notes of Various Kinds on the New Boundary Line. The bridge gang has finished the Howe-truss spans at Cascade and Gladstone, and is now working at the bridge over Kettle river at McCool's. Next week the gang will begin on the spans at Columbia. The present arrangement of Chief Engineer Tye is to have the road from Grand Forks to Greenwood inspected by the government officials on the 15th instant. Daily passenger trains will be run to Greenwood shortly thereafter. Ballasting and aligning is now completed to the end of the track, just across the Anaconda bridge. From 25 to 50 passengers are carried each way by the construction trains between Grand Forks and Greenwood. There are no accommodations, as travel is not solicited, hut there is no grumbling. Last Monday the track-laying machine, which, after all, is being used on the Greenwood camp spur, laid 51 stations���nearly a mile. This makes about three miles down Travel into the Boundary coun- r y on the new line continues heavy. Many days there are no spare seats in the train. It seems to be all but settled that the track will not be laid to Midway this year, thereby making Greenwood the terminus for the time being. There are 27 miles of track on the various spurs to the mines. Jack Stewart made a trip to Eholt this week, to inspect the tracklaying already done. Steel is still coming very slowly, but the officials of the C. P. R. are rustling hard to get enough to complete the spurs. Five or six cars of freight are being hauled into Greenwood every day. When the line to Greenwood is taken over, contractors' train dispatcher, Mr. Durkee, will move his headquarters from Grand Forks to Eholt. Jack Stewart says daylight will be put through the Bull Dog tunnel by Christmas, but it will take another month after that to put on the finishing touches. It will be 2,998 feet long, and there are but between 500 and 600 feet to drive. Lately the work has been progressing most satisfactorily, the progress being at the rate of 95 feet per week. The bore is 16x21 feet in size. MACHINERY IN GREAT DEMAND. The Boundary Country is Developing Rapidly ���Extensive Orders for Mining Appliances The importance that the province of British Columbia has attained to as a rich mining section is a marvel not only to the parent country, but to itself, even. Its mineral developments, yet in their infancy, are attracting investors from all parts of the civilied world, and not the least among its productive districts is the division known as the Boundary country. Perhaps no other portion of the province is so rapidly and successfully uncovering the unlimited wealth heretofore hidden in its mountain ranges. These discoveries and a desire to profit by them has created a demand for modern appliances with which to secure the valuable minerals so firmly held by natural conditions. Mr. Frank R. Mendenhall, agent of the Jenckes Machine company, of Sherbrooke, Que., has recently made a trip through the Boundary. On his return out he said to a reporter of the Rossland Miner that the entire section west of that city is looking well. The people there are in an enthusiastic frame of mind over the completion of the railway and the prospects of spurs to the many mining properties there. The three towns, Grand Forks, Greenwood and Phoenix, are growing rapidly and buildings are being erected as fast as men and materials can be furnished. The demand for machinery there is very great. Mr. Mendenhall sold to the Jewel mine a four-drill compressor plant with all the necessary equipment. TotheBonanxa Mountain company on tbe north fork of the Kettle river he disposed of a 30-horse power boiler, hoist and pump; to the Kamloops Mining company of Camp McKinney a 30-horse power hoist and sinking pump; to Ernest Spraggett Sawmill company of Grand Forks, a 60-horse power boiler to reinforce a plant that is already large. The great social eveut of the week in Republic occurred Monday when the management of the Republic mine, overflowing in son>l at the richness of its property, gave its employes a banquet. It was enjoyed by nearly 150 persons and afforded the employers and employes in their convivial moments a rare and excellent opportunity to get in close touch, enjoy mutual admiration and swap taffy without stint. This was the second banquet given by the Republic mine to its employee. The practice is a good one. Let it be continued. THE BOERS' PATRIOTISM They are Farmers aid Brave De* fenders of Hone. BRITON'S STAND Di THE TRANSVAAL Responsibility of Strong Nations to Guard the Weak Against Oppression and Advance the World's March. There is a hot time in South Africa at present, but it is simply the boiling over of the heat developed from friction between the parties for a long time. Some sympathize with the Boers, claiming that they are provoked and abused to the point of war; while others take sides with Briton, regarding her ae pursuing her usual course of carrying forward liberty, enterprise and civilization. Many years ago the Boers were acknowledged at a convention at Sand River as an independent people, but they were in terms of the treaty to acknowledge the rights of property, life, etc., of tbe native blacks in the surrounding countries. These terms they did not respect- Under their government flinging and murdering the natives went on till they were driven to desperation. The blacks rose up against their oppressors and would have destroyed them but for the protection of Britain, which the Boers invoked. In 1876 the Transvaal was re-annexed to British territory. The result was the restoration of orderr confidence and prosperity. But the restive, lawless ones raised up a rebellion, and finally in the supposed interests of peace, the Transvaal was again given up by Britain with certain conditions attached. During the time of British government and proteetion many enterprising foreigners,mostly British, settled in the country, developing; its mineral resouces. These contributed largely in taxation and otherwise to the prosperity of the !place; but as foreigners they were- not allowed any voice in the management of state affairs, and were- even denied the right of becoming citizens hy adoption until they had lived in the country many years- Oppression of these Urtlanders, or foreigners, Became so great that appeal was made to the home government for relief. AH appeals by Britain were valuless. The Boers- adhered* stnl.bornfv to their old policy, considering their ownership of the country sufficent authority for their acts of oppression and an- progressiteness. The idea lias prevailed of Tate that strong nations are responsible for the rights and liberties of the weak, hence tfie United States'"war with Spain in the interests of the oppressed Cubans and Filipinos. This war is another of like kind, in the interests of Uitlanders and the native negroes against the relentless oppression of the grasping, lawless Boer. THE CASCADE RECORD November 11,1899 M��tWMtMt��tMMWnt��tnt��T��W.��te?��tiMWtMt f PEOPLE AND EVENTS| Tellurium is a scarce mineral more valuable than gold and worth about $28 per ounce. The report of a find of this near the head of Kettle river is therefore important, for while a big ledge is said to have heen discovered, increasing in value at depth, the assays run high in this metal, besides gold which is always found along with it. This promises to be one of the best discoveries yet made in the district, ���eavs the British Columbia Beview. A London dispatch says that the Newfoundland difficulties are likely to crop up again. The modus vivendi published with France expires, in January, and a member of the Newfoundland government is quoted as saying it will not be renewed, adding that definite Imperial action must be taken in the near future. If the furiously anti- British tone of the French press ���can be taken as an indication of the national attitude, serious diplomatic or worse complications may be expected. Wireless telegraphy has won another round of applause, under a severe test. A few days ago at New York mesesages by this system were sent to and from the warships Massachusetts and New York from the lime they left the North river till they were twenty-nine miles at sea. The conditions rendered the messages specially difficult, yet all were read easily despite the wind, intervening hills, church spires, chimneys and other obstacles. This great triumph achieved, what ��next? Rail less railroads ? Clarence J. McCuaig, of Montreal, who owns an extensive interest in the Republic mine, and who was in that camp a few days ago, is reported to have said : "An eminent legal auhtority has advised the Payne mine that the eight-hour law is unconstitutional. In all liklihood a test case will be made in order to determine the authority of the provincial parliament to draft legislation that has caused so much trouble between labor and capital. The measure was not eought by the miners. We contemplate starting up work in the Payne, paying $3.50 for ten hours. If we are fined, the case will be appealed, and if need be, appealed to the Privy Council." The citizens of Columbia are not content with the legal outcomein Ihe matter of incendiary destruction of the Hotel Columbia. They claim that justice has only been partially satisfied; that while the creature who applied the torch is doing penance for his dastardly crime, the instigator and arch fiend still enjoys life, liberty and the pursuit of other victims. Hence the following publication : "$1,000 reward. The sum of $1,000 (one thousand dollars) will be paid to any person or oersons for information that will lead to the arrest and conviction of the persons who incited and paid the money for burning the Hotel Columbia, at Columbia, B. C, on the 17th day of June, 1899." While this may be a bona fide transaction, the signatures to the notice, "Corporation of the Town of Columbia," and "Columbia Townsite Co., Limited," seem to be somewhat indefinite���difficult to individualize and locate, as it were. The Newfoundland government is considering a proposal to form half the colonial police into a company for service in the Transvaal. The Canadian government will be requested, it is understood, to incorporate this company with the second Canadian regiment, Newfoundland paying a proportional share of the expense. The colonial police, being like the Royal Irish constabulary,a semi-military body, armed, well drilled, and fully equipped, could take the field at once. The scheme meets with general approval. IN AND AROUND CASCADE. Work on the Mother Lode in the Burnt Basin, has been discontinued for the present. There is talk of changing the name of the town of Gladstone, on account of there being another place of the same name in Manitoba. A good start has been made on the wire fencing for the new railway, between Grand Forks and Cascade. Several miles are already put up. Two or three concerns are willing to supply Greenwood with electric light, and put in a tramway to Phoenix at the same time. Among them is P. Welch & Co. Greenwood's ratepayers have voted to bond the city for $15,000 for improvements. The debentures were sold at once at 101, through the bank of Montreal. David Bryant, a prospector 45 years of age, shot and killed himself recently in a house of ill-fame in Greenwood. He came from the Northwest Territories about three years ago. It is now expected by Chief Engineer Tye that trains will be running through the Bull Dog tunnel by February 1st, thereby shortening the trackage to West Robson by four miles. A mule was struck by the pilot of a locomotive, on the railway track near town a few days ago. The accident happened in a rock cut near the dam, and the animal had to be shot. Frank Hutchinson was down from the Elmore, on Shamrock mountain, early in the week. He says he has a five-foot ledge of ore on his latest strike, with well defined walls.

STARTINQ ANOTHER VOLUME. The Cascade Record has rounded out a complete year of existence. For twelve months it has appeared regularly every Saturday. With its first issue, dated November 12, 1898, the publisher asked only for ^uch support as the paper would be entitled to upon its merits. .Judged from that standard alone, publisher has had it remarked to ,him by outsiders that the Record was the best printed and most newsy paper in the Boundary country. This has certainly been the aim of the management from the inception. How well we have succeeded we leave to others to determine. In beginning another volume the publisher believes it only fair that every reader should bear in mind a few facts. The Record was established because it was thought there was a field for it. This has been ���demonstrated to our satisfaction. We have no hesitation in saying that we believe Cascade and the Christina and Boundary districts have a great future before them. Some places grow faster than others, but every town in this rich section will grow and prosper as time goes on. Cascade cannot fail to receive its share of growth and impetus, surrounded as it is with rich mineral showings and a water power almost unrivaled. A word personal. If you have been receiving the Record regularly, and admire its tone and get-up, just renew your subscription. Send along your two-dollar bill. Such "actions speak louder than words." If vou appreciate our efforts, show that appreciation. We are here to stay, and we will give a paper commensurate with the support received. If you are on the delinquent list, remember that printers eat like others, and your prompt remittance will be appreciated. James J. Hill, of the Great Northern R. R. Co., proposes to .build some mammoth transpacific freight ships. They are to be 700 feet long, have a capacity of 20,000 tons and a speed of fourteen knots. They will be the largest ocean freight transports in the world. His idea is that the size of these vessels will enable Amercan flour to compete with rice as the food staple of the Chinese. Tbe new fleet will start with two boats, to be increased as demands require If each one of the 450,000,000 inhabitants of the Chinese empire consumed per day one small slice of bread made of American wheat it would employ many Jim Hill ships to transport the flour to them. FELICITOUS MR. SHAUGHNESSY. Thomas G. Shaughnessy, president of the C. P. R., is certainly a man of parts���a man who seems to have the knack of leaving a pleasant impression behind him in his travels. At least, such appears to have been the case on his recent trip to British Columbia. Doubtless it was qualities of this kind that enabled him to climb to his present high position. When he arrived in Nelson it leaked out, unpremeditatedly, of course, that work would be started on the railway along Kootenay lake to Balfour. In Rossland he assured a deputation from the board of trade that connection, long desired, would be.made there with the Great Northern. At Cascade he stated unequivocally that a smelter would be constructed in the Gateway City. In Grand Forks he is reported to have asserted that if there was not a pound of ore in the Boundary country, the fine Yale hotel was worth building a railway to. In Columbia and in Greenwood he also said nice things. And on the coast he made the Victoria people happy by making somewhat similar statements. Altogether, Mr. Shaughnessy succeeded in making a large lot of people hereabouts think that the C. P. R. was just about right, in one way or another. It is in his power to make the statements credited to him good. It is to he hoped he will do this where the conditions warrant it. Mr. Shaughnessy makes an excellent executive for the C. P. R. Sir William C. Macdonald of Montreal, a wealthy man, is winning just commendation from his fellow citizens, setting an example eminently worthy of emulation and chipping a niche in history that will redound to the glory and pride of his compatriots Mr. Macdonald believes in education, not of the sort that would increase the already crowded ranks of literary paupers, but in the practical kind, that will prepare the young to enter the fields of industry that require skilled hands as well as intellectual minds. To this end he has signified his intention to estab lish manual training schools in all the provinces of the Dominion, and has generously offered to pay for the equipment required for educational manual training in one place in each province, and also to meet the expense of qualified teachers and incidental maintenance for three years in all these places. This offer applies to all boys between the ages of nine and fourteen years in public schools. Trained and experienced teachers will be brought from Europe at first to be in charge of the schools, and next summer it is proposed to send teachers from Canada to Great Britain and Sweden to take a course in manual training there. Now we hope Vancouver and Victoria will not bring disgrace upon this province in an unseemly scramble for the location of oi>e of these schools. At the Cascade Drug Co.

The return of the 6tate of Washington volunteers from the Philippine islands, this week, caused the hearts of many near and dear relatives in the state to leap with joy. At Spokane and Seattle, preparations for the reception of the soldier boys were on a grand scale. While the many rejoiced, some grieved sorely for the dear ones absent from the ranks, whose forms lie in Deaths cold grasp under the distant sod. In the elections held in many eastern states, the republicans are reported tohave been generally successful. According to the dispatches they claim Ohio, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Iowa, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, South Dakota and New York outside of the city. Nebraska, Maryland and Virginia and New York city were carried by the democrats. Dr. Wyman of Marcus, Wash., was nearly beaten to death by a man named Hawksworth, early Thursday morning. Both were said to be under the influence of liquor at the time. Hawksworth fled across the Columbia to the reservation. Table of Distances From CASCADE. (Distances llgured on wagon roads.)

C. ,4) November 11,1890 THE CASCADE RECORD 5 MINING EXPERTS THEN AND NOW. Practical Mine Managers More In Demand than Ever Before. Practical miners are not alone in the business of mining. Many men who never held or struck a drill, or shoveled a ton of dirt into a sluice- box, and who can't tell a stull from a stope, will speak very learnedly about mines and mining, and frequently throw out a shingle with the legend "mine expert" lettered upon it, Several years ago these "experts" could be found in nearly every little mining camp in the Northwest. They are not so plentiful these latter dayB. Men who invest in mines are more particular in selecting their mine managers than they were in the early mining days. They have learned by dearly bought experience that "book learning," while all right as an equipment, does not fully prepare a man to assume a responsible position in mine management. He must or should have a practical knowledge of mining to acquire the full measure of success in his calling. It is true that fortunes have been made by investors in mines, who never swung a pick or trod a ldvel, but they employed practical men, not theorists to manage the underground part of the business. If the whole truth were known it would transpire that the great bulk of mining . failures is directly chargeable to ignorance���to the failure of theories to answer expectations raised. Any theory based upon the working of a mine or group of mines, may prove baseless when applied to a different formation. Mother earth was not built upon any given plan or rule. She is full of freaks, and theorists never take freaks into consideration. The practical miner meets and surmounts them, and then goes about his business until he finds something else unusual to tax his resources. The theorist may build a theory from what he saw, but it dies "a bornin,'" for he never finds a condition to fit it. Practioal miners know when they meet changed conditions of the earth in shafts or in levels, but they can't pay whether they will make or break hy pursuing the change. A theory is often followed to financial ruin; a practical man follows only what is in sight. Theory and practice in mining never trot in the same class. ��� Western Mining World. __ Vancouver Saya Victoria li Not All of British Columbia. Between Victoria and Vancouver there is a spirited rivalry, and a constant contention as to relative commercial importance. Jealousy thus engendered often leads to squabbles, the airing of which in the local papers frequently does neither city any credit. Just now the illy-chosen bone of contention is the selection of a captain for the Canadian contingent sent to the Transvaal, notwithstanding the fact the officer chosen is well at sea on his way to do battle in defence of the flag. In concluding an article on the choice made the Vancouver World waxes wrath and delivers itself of these admonitory remarks : "We cannot, however, allow the opportunity to pass without reminding the officials at Ottawa, no matter what department they may be in, or who they may be, that Victoria has long since ceased to be British Columbia, and the sooner the members of the government, as well as all subordinates at the capital, realize this fact, the better. From whatever point viewed, Vancouver leads Vicioria, and each day widens the cleavage between the two in this respect. British Columbia is now a mrghty province, one of the most important in the Dominion, and Vancouver being the gateway to the mainland from the ocean, it is to be hoped that the powers that be at the capital will not ignore this city, as has been the practice many years back. In this respect the late government and the present one have been and are derelict in their duty." Republic Must and Will Have a Railroad. In an editorial on the subject of a railroad, after discussing the feasibility of such a road, based up the recent wonderful developments in that camp, the Miner says : "The people here have grown very impatient on the railroad question. The lack of railroad transportation is seriously retarding the growth of both the camp and the town. We are not getting what we really deserve. We have done enough work here to bring a railroad, and if Mr. Hill does not care to build it, we would be glad if he would say so finally and definitely, so we could look to somebody else. There are people who will build a railroad to Republic. We know who they are and we know what we are talking about." The Miner not only sees the necessity of quicker and more adequate transportation facilities, but says that Republic should be incorporated, that it may grow up in conformity with modern citified ideals, so that when it makes its debut in the society of cities with a population of from 5,000 to 10,000 it will have acquired the art of posing gracefully. Forty Miners With a Grievance Quit Work. Owing to the refusal of the management to pay $3.50 a day, seventeen miners on the Athabasca mine two-and-a-half miles south of Nelson, quit work, Thursday, says the Tribune. There was also difficulty at the Silver King mine over pay for working in a wet shaft. The men wanted $4 per day, and the management was unwilling to pay more than $3.50. The men working in the shaft quit, and the others that were asked to take their places, on refusing, were discharged. In all twenty-six men came down the hill. All the men are not members of the union, but all are alike firm in the determination to stand out for the scale of wages that is now recognized as the "Kootenay standard," namely, $3.50 for miners, and $3 for muckers or carmen, and 50 cents a day extra for work in wet shafts or tunnels. Suffering, from a Coal Famine. The citizens of Nelson are somewhat perturbed over the shortness of the local coal supply. The trouble is not that there is an insufficient supply in the wholesale markets but in the fact that the railroad company will not haul in a supply at present, preferring first to serve the great wheat farmers of Manitoba, which service absorbs all of the extra cars, hence Nelson must saw wood if sawing the atmosphere fails to produce coal. flontana Hotel .....

BELGROVE, Prop. 6 THE CASCADE RECORD November 11,1800 IN AND AROUND CASCADE. C. H. May is building an addition to his (Montana) hotel. Mr. Roy, formerly of the Yukon store here, was in town this week. New sticker aud lath machinery arrived this morning for the Cascade sawmill. Mrs. Pugsley,wife A.H. Pugsley, of the Montana hotel, who haB been quite ill, is convalescing. A new four-seated coach has been ���placed on the stage line between ���Grand Forks and Republic. Both manual and team labor is exceedingly scarce, it being almost impossible to procure either. The Uitlander club met at the home of Mrs. 6. F. Woodman on Wednesday afternoon, having an especially enjoyable time. Never in the history of the town have the hotels been better patronized than now, every room being occupied nearly every night. The proprietor of the Hotel Cascade is wearing extra smiles just now. As we go to press we learn he has struck some rich rock in a claim iiear town. Mr. Parsons, of the paymaster's department of the C. P. R. contractors1 headquarters, has been transferred to the tunnel, where he will act as bookkeeper. B. F. Vancleve, of the firm of Bowen & Vancleve, wood and ice dealers of Cascade, has been in Spokane all the week, {promoting a local mining deal. Work is steadily progressing in the construction of the big dam, the north wing having reached its extreme height, thereby giving a comprehensive idea of the magnitude of the structure. Two men were killed in a railway accident on the Spokane Fall & Northern near Springdale yesterday. A cow on the track whs the cause of the accident. Connelly and Smith are the names of the victims. Mr. McGguire has started work on the Russell group with a force of nine men, and contemplates continuing all winter. The Russel group is on Huckleberry mountain, about four miles southwest of Cascade, an but a short distance from the Pontifex group, where Mr. Jno. Inkster has established camp for the winter, with another force of miners to work this group of claims. The first touches of cold upon (he hilltops are sending the game to lower levels. Mallard and teal are becoming more plentiful along ihe river, creek and lake. While deer and at least one cougar have been seen close to town; and the coyotes are making night hideous with their yelps. A dead mule near town seems to be the special attraction. While business is admittedly quieter, on the whole, in Cascade, since the construction gangs got through, and fire destroyed so much of our town, yet one thing is abundantly clear, and that is, that what must be looked upon for permanent business is improving. We refer to the mining development. Slowly but surely progress is being made. One of the managers of the English Store says that their business with the mines is now three times greater than it was during Cascade's big building boom a year ago. The opening of the new Presbyterian church is expected to take place in a short time. The wet weather for the past two weeks has delayed the finishing; but the hope is entertained that we shall have some fine weather from this time on, when the finishing work will be pushed forward. Notice of the opening service will be given later. The service to morrow will be held as before in the school house west of the railway station, at 11 a. m. and 8, p. m. Sabbath school in the afternoon at 2:30, to all of which services the public is invited. Cascade has another telegraph office. The Spokane & Northern Telegraph Co., operating in conjunction with the Western Union, has opened an office in the building adjoining Black's hotel. Direct connection with Spokane, Rossland, Nelson, Republic, and all principal points in the Boundary country. W. E. McDaniel is local manager. J. W. Bengough at the Presbyterian Church. Notwithstanding the fact that last Wednesday evening was rainy and dark, a large audience greeted Mr. Bengough on his first appearance in Cascade. Both he and the managers of the First Presbyterian church, in which new building the entertainment was held, have reason to congratulate themselves, the proceeds being $31. The entertainment was first-class in every respect. Mr. Bengough interspersed recitations of a humorous character with exhibitions of his skill as a cartoonist, and gave pleasure to all present. Among local men who received conspicuous attention at his hands were Messrs. McCoy, Stocker, Rochussen and Simpson. In the sketches the first of the these gentlemen was represented as "The Miner's Friend;" the second was engaged in explaining the brilliant future in store for Cascade to "A New Arrival;" the third was represented as a "Justice of The Peace," and the fourth was in the act of arguing in a "striking" manner with a youthful offender. Admiral Dewey Surrenders. The famous U. S. Admiral, Geo. Dewey, surrendered his independence at Hymen's altar on Thus- day to the charms of Mrs. Mildred Hazen. The Record throws the metaphorical slipper after them. It is to be believed that the great warrior's battles are over, and that he will spend the rest of his days in peace and prosperity. During the week there seems to have been a lull in the Transvaal hostilities. The victorious march of the Boers has been checked, and their assaults on Ladysmith have been fiercely repusled by General Whyte, whose outposts have won in several brisk brushes with the enemy.

Every night from a thousand pounds to a ton of Canadian mail is brought by the stage line from Bossburg. This mail is destined for Cascade, Grand Forks, Columbia, Phoenix, Greenwood, Midway, etc. For this service, Messrs. Brockman & Lay, proprietors of the line are said to receive the munificent sum of $1000 per year, or about $3, per round trip of 82 miles. In contradistinction to this liberality on the part of the Canadian post office officials, is the contract made for carrying American mails over the same route. With perhaps but one-quarter or one-third as much mail matter daily���bound for Republic and other Reservation points���the United States postal department is said to allow $4,000 annually, or four times the amount.that Sir William Mulock's subordinates will pay for one-quarter the service. It is understood that arrangements are being made to bring Boundary mail in by the new railway line, now that daily trains are run both ways. If as anticipated, the road is taken over by the C.P.R. to Greenwood on November 15th, the mails will also probably be started by that date���if the officials of the Victoria postal division wake up in time. BIO LUMBER COMPANY. After months of negotiation, a big lumber company has been floated to acquire several Kootenay and Boundary Creek saw mills. The capitalization of the company is $500,000 and the head office wili be located in Greenwood. The incorporators are A. Fisher and Louis Blue, who own mills at Greenwood and Rossland, and Messrs. Genelle and Poupore, the well-known Kootd- nay lumbermen, whose mills are located at Nakusp and Robson. The new company will operate mills at Nakusp, Robson, Greenwood, Phoenix, Eholt, Rock creek and Long Lake. Mr. Poupore is general manager, while Mr. Fisher will manage the mills in the Boundary Creek district.���Greenwood Times. Will Benefit Rossland. A Rossland dispatch states that the C.P.R. has granted Rossland jobbers the same rate on goods coming into the Boundary country as is now made from Nelson. This will give the merchants of the former town a chance to net a share of the business of this section. The former rate was based on the local tariff to Robson plus the charge from there to the destination and as Rossland is slightly further from Robson than is Nelson the jobbers of the latter place have had the advantage of about 10 cents per hundred in the freighting charges. The C. P. R. has sent the city of Grand Forks a check for $900��� the railway's contribution towards the grading of Winnipeg avenue to the station, a much-needed improvement.' The Grand Forks Daily Gazette now comes out as a morning paper with full Associated Press dispatches. The Miner, of the same town, will break out the same way shortly. Work has started on the spur to the Granby smelter, Mr. Graves and Mr. Tye having at laBt amicably arranged the details. Certificates of Improvements.

Avon Mining Company Receives Some Good Quartz Specimens. E. N. Ouimette of the Avon Mining company, which owns the Ennismore in the Burnt Basin, has just received a sack of fine specimens taken from the recent find on the property. The Ennismore adjoins the Mother Lode group, owned by Mike Shick, and Mr. Shick says that the new ledge is undoubtedly an extension of the Mother Lode vein, from which some remarkably high assays have been obtained. The specimens received by Mr. Ouimette came from a depth of only five or six feet on the newly-discovered vein, and though much weather-worn it is a lively quartz which promises well.���Rossland Record. A 200-ton Mill tor Republic. Messrs. McCuaig, Patrick Clark and A. A Ayer were in Republic camp last week, and the result of their investigations and conclusions while there is the annoucement that the Republic mine will be immediately provided with a 200 ton mill. The work will be pushed with great energy, with a veiw of getting the foundations laid before very cold weather sets in. This will give that camp three mills, the Republic Reduction company's with acapac ity of 75 tons, the Mountain Lion 100 ton mill and the new 200-ton plant for the Republic mine, making a daily milling output of 375 tons, whereat the citizens of that promising and enter].rising little city are muchly rejoiced. The Whitewater mine in the Nelson district has been bonded by J. M. Williams, who represents a London, Eng., syndicate. The purchase price is stated to be $50,000. Active development work will commence immediately, and a crosscut tunnel will be run to prove the vein at depth. TheChapleau mine near Slocan City, which Mr. Williams bonded some months ago for $30,000, will be worked all winter. Prom Alpha to Omega.
