Plumbing and Tlnsmllhloi In Connection. The people of South linst Kootenay liuve been intensely interested in the outcome of the Marysville smelter project, The people know Unit the Sullivan mine is classed among the best of lead properties in British Columbia, and that the smelter at Marysville wns projected far the purpose of handling the ure of that mine. They know that there has been large suuis of money expended up to date on the smelter, but the silence on the part of the company the past two months has given rise to a feeling of uneasiness. The following article from the Spokesman-Review will tiling relief to the minds of in.>ny, since It indicates that there is soon to be a resumption of the work: One of the inteiesting questions agitating Spokane mining circles Is the status of the affairs of the Sullivan group of lead mines at Kimberley, II, C. All sorts of rumors aie current ns to the bulldiug of tbe proposed smelter plant at Marysville, II. C. Several months ago the company decided that the only way the property could be operated at a profit was to build a smeller for the treatment of its oie. Accordingly the capital stock was increased 500.000 shares, which were pledged for a loan of $100,000 with which to build tbe smelter. Clay suitable for the manufacture of brick war discovered on the property, brick kilns were erected nnd work was begun, under the direction of Manager Austin, preparatory 10 the construction of the smelter. The actual construction of the smelter wns begun and carried almost lo completion, when it was discovered that the plans would have lo be changed; iu other words. Hint nearly the eutire plant would hive to he remodeled. As a m.mlt Mn.mgt > (Vmntn Stepped down and out. nml n new mnnnger whs secured, a Mr. Elm-ndoif, of Colorado, The new manager made a detailed report of the conditions at the smelter about Iwo months ago, but the directors refused to give out anything tor publication. The refusal of the directors to make public thc affairs of the company has led to nil sorts nf rumors. One of these rumors is to the effect that over $50,01,0 hns been expended on the -'innl. an.l that ihis umount will be almost a total loss to the company. It ts also stated that uuleas sddfHonal binds nre secured the compaliy will be unable in carry out its plans us originally Intended, It Is said that the founds- lions of the smokestacks were defective, and that what had not fallen down would have to be rebuilt. In short, the plant was said to be In such bad shape thai its abandonment was being considered, The Spokesman-Review Ins received several Inquiries dining ihe past few days relative to the status ofthe Sullivan group. The only definite Information obtainable is to the effect that the company has no intention ol discontinuing the work on the smeller plant, Senator George Turner, who is president of lhe company, when Interrogated last evening said: "Tiiere is absolutely no ttutli in the statement thut the smelter project is to be abandoned, Cm the other hiuid, the company is going ahead with the work, and we expect to put on a full torce of men not later than September 1, and to be smelting ore within 60 days thereafter. "We Bte now working a force of 10 men nnd have been right along since Manager Hlmcndorf took charge ofthe plant. The full force of men will be put on as soon George Mull, who has gener* 1 supervision of the woik, returns from tbe east."' Senator Turner declined to be interviewed as to Manager Bl me ml or He re- poit and as [n whether additional funds would be required lo complete the smelter. Later News. Tin- Herald in In receipt of good news, it ha* positive In format ion timi Instructions liuve been given to resume work on the smelter buildings and that everything has been saiisfaclorily adjusted. Manager Hull will return from the east in a few duj n, bul iu the meantime work will be pushed on the buildings in accordance to the modified plaus. under existing conditions, be handled Ht a profit, it is belter lo leave the ore where il is for the present. "I do not look for much rise in the markets for the nexl two years, so that we must look for cheaper smelling rates or cheaper transportation facilities. There wus, as you are aware, a loss in shipping the 1000 tons of ore. A profit would have been made had the ore been shipped direct lo Ibe smelter at the lime il was landed at the river, but while it lay ihere waiting fur navigation lo open the market quotations kepi going down. But it was necessary lo have lhe ore smelted, even at a loss, 111 order to gel buck part of the capital invested. Even the test shipment ol 150 tons of the best grade of ore made this season did not reiurn a profit. "The difficulty in Wesl Kooteuay today is due to lhe fact that lhe men have quit operating their mines on investing capital and want the ore to pay for mining it- My experience has taught me that ore must be mined at a profit, "ap Hal imisl be spent on devtloptnen;, hut when ore is found It must pay for the cost of mining it. ''There is ouly one way in which conditions can be changed so that the 1'arn- dise mny continue to work, nml Hint is hy lhe construction of a wagon road from the Toby road up Spring creek basin, which would do away with the heavy cost of raw-hiding. That would mnke a saving of about $2 to the ton." New Supply ol Coke. Nelson, B. C, Aug. 15.— Assistant- Superintendent I-'luiuetfelt and Smelter Manager Hodges of the Granby Conaol idatad, arrived in the city today, returning front a trip to Fernie and Michel to see bow soon sufficient coke could be shipped to permit the smelters to run again. Michel is turning out 180 tous ol coke per day, and Fernie about 10. By the end of the week repairs to some of the tunnels at Coal creek will have been made sufficient to get out enough for running purposes. The present output is being laid by as a reserve to be divided between all the smelters. Summer Heat... Is made less oppressive if you wear one of our light flannel suits. Just the thing in weight and price. A fine line of summer weight underwear; don't suffer, gentlemen, call in and get relief. Mining Notes. It begins to look as if Baker Mountain was one vast body of Iron ore. The North Star is working a large torce of men on development work. An immense amount of assessment work hns beeu done in this district this season. The St. Marys Valley Is hound to be one of the richest mineral sections iu all of South Fast Kooteuay. The more the country around Marysville is orosnected. the more the people are convinced that it ts a very rich territory. Out of $3,900,000 worth of copper shipped from Canada to the United States, the Boundary country shipped over (2,000,000. Mr. McPeak and hoy**, who have been placer mining at Palmer's Bar, hnve met with very good success, although they are using only crude appliances. Fred Hazen brought down some magnificent specimens of native copper from his claim on the St. Mary's river. There hnve been few If nny In the district that would equal it. The tunnel in the Clover Leaf property has been completed to within about ,10 feet of tbe shall, nnd as soon ns finished development work will be resumed. The prospects for this property nre brighter than ever. The low price of lead nnd copper bus caused prospectors to take an increased interest in gold bearing quartz. South lOisl Kootenay has tunny sections that promises rich returns for development, and ns a consequence the next year may bring forth some paying gold properties in this district. J. C- Drewery arrived in town last Friday, having rode over the summit from Pilot Bay to the Great Dane property iu tbe St. Marys river. He left Saturday for Moyie. Speaking of the Great Dane he said the property was in fine shape, and that the development done the past wiutei demonstrated the fact that it was bound to be a good property. THEY JUST TOOK THREE ...HILL & CO. Paradise Shut Down. S. S. Fowler, the well known mining engineer of Nelson, expressed himself as follows lo the Wilmer Outcrop, re- gaiding the Paradise miue, located in that territory: "I make two visits a year to the Paradise, but it occupies loo much lime in coming from Nelsou to make more frequent visits. The Paradise is looking better now than ll ever has I do not any that the Paradise is n mine, but It is a very promising prospect," remarked Mr. Fowler, quite pleasantly, but he continued, now seriously: "Much as I prefer not to, I must ad* vise Mr. Hammond to close the Paradise down. I realize thnl it will fleriously effect this district and very much regret it hut iu justice 10 my client 1 must advise that the workings he closed for a year, nr until conditions are better for mining low grade silver-lead ore. A very favorable Impression of the Paradise exists among mining men iu Weil Kooteuay, nnd il is, as I said before, a very promising prospect, llul us the ore cuunol, Because There Were No More Games lo Capture. CRANBROOK'S BASE BALL VICTORY The Club Gathers Scalps From Pincher Creek and Medicine Hat With Ease. AN HONOR TU CRANBROOK ATHLETICS A Sheep Country. 'Do you know," said J. W. Rnhiuson the other day, "thai South Bast Kootenny ought to be a gootl sheep country. We have some excellent grazing finds here for sheep, nud the valleys offer excellent protection lor lhe winter. There would be no trouble to carry sheep through a winter with a little feed for lhe most severe mouths, I expect to see that tried here, and It is liable to become a big Industry, Successful sheep ranching offers great Inducements as they go into money rapidly on comparatively small investment." W. W. Ooble's Funeral. The remains of \\V. W. Doble, who died Wednesday morning of last week, were placed iu the Odd Fellows hall, where services were held Thursday afternoon at 2:30. The funeral services of the English church were first read by Rev. Beachaui, nud then the Odd Pel lows took charge. The hall service of lhe order was rend, aud then the remains were taken to the station, followed bv the members of the order In regular procession. At the station the last Bervice was performed for the deceased brother, and the remains placed on the east bound train for Toronto. Mrs. Doble and the two children, Dora and Willie, accompanied theu.

'JCllIlt When tbe Craubrook baseball team left for Pincher Creek aud Medicine Hat a week ago Sunday Itwasconll- dently expected that they would win the game at Pincher and break even at the Hat, but. the most sanguine enthusiast hardly dared predict that, with only one pitcher, they would be able to win three games In succession lu as many days, having their rest broken In the meantime by railway travel. Uut lhe result or the trip shows that Manage) Small had chosen tils men well, ami that every man played tils position with a determination .0 uphold the reputation of the team and prove their ability of putting up a class of ball that should satisfy alt that they were entitled tn the hearty support nf Cranbrook's citizens. The boys were loud In their praise of he treatment accorded them by the citizens Of both towns and especially ut Medicine Hat, where they were givea the freedom of the city anil entertained la a royal manner at the conclusion U tbe games. The game at Pincher on Monday wus a one aloud ulYdlr, our hoys clearly outclassing tbelr opponents, and the Pincher Greeks weut down to defeat by a score of 10 to 5. On Tuesday the lirst game with the Hat was played and proved to be the closest and must Interesting of the series, score at tbe end of in**, eighth Inning aland.uk nil In favor of the prairie boys, but In tbe ninth our boys garnered in three runs and succeeded iu retiring the Hatites In one, two, three order, thus winning tbe game.

He was quickly accommodated and our boys went after that hundred like a nigger after a fat chicken on a dark nighl, aud It took them just three tunings to make O'Hara's reputation look like a tomato vine after a heavy frost. Tweed relieved O'Hara In tbe fourth bul our boys had their battlpg clothes on and continued to pile up tbe runs In a manner tbat would take tbe heart out of a stoic and at tbe close of tbe eighth the score stood ]t> li iu our favor, and au tbe Halites were unable to score in tbe ninth the game was ours. The score by innings: j Medicine Hat 5 0020002 0,— 9 Cranbrook 2 4 4 13 110 x—10 Tbe names and positions of the boy who did the business are as follows: JAMIESON, Pltchei. BERTRAM, Catcher. HKHKNSTKKir, First Dase. HAMPTON, Second Ilase. MALLINSON, Third Base, WATSON, Snort Stop, HUGHES, Left Field. NISYIN, Center Field. THORPE, Right Field. JARDINE, Spare. Notes. Jardine played short ut Pincher is Watson was unable to join lhe team un til their arrival al Medicine Hat. Young Jamleson's record ol pltcnlng three winning games on consecutive days Is one that is seldom equalled and icver excelled, ami when you consider tbe long railway journey and broken rest it is phenomenal, and he should be classed among the best of amateur pitchers. And by that same token, we would like to see lhe photo of an amateur catcher who is In It with Joe Ber* tram. He Is playing ball from start to finish and tbe base runner who attempts to steal second Is Invariably retired. Besides tbis his excellent work behind the bat and steady coaching does much to encourage a pitcher. InfaciCraa- brook has a battery which the largest city 'n the province could well be proud of. Watson, our shortstop, Is undoubtedly one of thc best ball players ever seen In British Columbia and his fast woik In Tuesday's game had much to do with saving Craubrook from defeat. Hampton at second and Maillnson at third, could not have been Improved on and, as usual they put up llrsl class hall. Nevin, Hughes and Thorpe did not have an opportunity 10 show the natives what they could do In tbe outfield as the opposing teams were unable to gvt the ball into their territory, but they look reveDge when they came to bat by knocking the cover oil the ball. Manager Small feels deeply indebted to the mayor of Medicine Hat foi his courteous treatment of the team and to Mr. Ross, of the Asslnabotue hotel, who placed his yacht al their disposal.

Il is Blrange how- use a rubber stamp vnnced printing, fl billhead, letter hen DO YOU WANT WATER? A Serious Question That Must Be Met In Cranbrook. ARE THREE WAYS OF GETTING IT It Is Up to the People and Some Action Should Be Taken In the Matter. INCORPORATION WOULD ill: A WINNER a business man will in this age of ad- rubber stump on u il or envelope is recognized al once hy anyone, nm) it carries wiih it an air of cheapness that is a positive injury to the tiiuu who uses it. An exchi ugt*. which is evidently printed iii a rubber stump community, says: if the business man sees lit in daub Ins note heads and envelopes with a rubber stamp, and thus leave outsiders to think there are no primers in town, lie ougl t lo be salted. Such a mat) as that, when he comes to die, should have his obituary and the usual resolutions of his lodg-i printed on a board fence with u rubber stamp. When he has a boy at liis bouse, or a parly, or a son or daughter married, n full account of the Important event uiighl be printed on a sheet of wrapping paper and tucked on his front door, ami when he is a candidate for ollice he might stamp a lube, to the effect that he wants to be constable or road overseer or justice of the peace, as the case may. nnd pinto the bosom of bis pants. And when the opposition j.....pv.l «„*.<, i.tni he might "i-t stamp another label saying it is blamed lie, and pin that on, too. Come to think of it, there is no end of uses a rubber stamp might be put to In the hands of an enterprising and economical man. Malcolm Leilch, mnnager ofthe well- known Leltch Brothers' flour mills at Oak Lake,' MJu., was in town this week. Mr. Leilch is an old resident of Manitoba, and being a close observer oi conditions is well posted on western Canada. Speaking ofthe marvelous increase of business In that section, he said: ''CHtiada lias never seen anything like It. The land boom is ou, and nothing can slop it now. From Winnipeg to Medicine Hat the trains are crowded each day, and at itfoosejaw, which is the gateway for a large portion of the immigration from the Stales, Die platform is crowded daily with hundreds of people from the Other side hurrying to some part of the territories in search of land. Iu Winnipeg the sume conditions exist. It is difficult to realize what this will mean to Canada, for it is a working population that is coming iu, men with money mnl energy to develope the idle lands of this country. And if the promise* of this year's yield is fulfilled, there will be a greater rush than ever. The prospects up to date were never better. Except in a few places, the wheat will run from 301040 bushels to the acre. Drouth is tlie worst feature our farmers have to contend with, so that one can form some idea of conditions when the bnd places are due to wet, low ground. Ahcady thousands of bushels of last year's crop are being hurried to market to make room for the new crop. Prosperity can be seen from Winnipeg to ihe British Columbia line, Iiut il seems (0 stop il, te. In fact, British Columbia seems to be the ouly province lu the Domlui :i that is uot forging ahead llus year, ft is haul to understand It. I suppose, of course thc depression iu mining has a good dual lo do Willi it. Eistern people have been bitten so often on wild CSl mini's lli.it they me afraid to Invest, They have got to lenrn thnl mining must be handled like any other legitimate business, mul promoters of mining companies must learn to be honest in tbe investment of funds furnished for development. Investors do not object to paying good salaries to men iu charge of mines, bul tbey don't waul ill em to gobble eve ylbing in sight. But it will all come out right, because the province is rich in resources.'* A Private School. Mrs. Rowlantlson will open her private school for children next Monday, The rntes are f 2 a month for oue child, $3.50 for Iwo from the same family. Tbe hours are fiom 11 to 3. During lhe past yenr Mrs. Rowlandson has conducted a very successful school for the young, md the parents ure well satisfied. She will be aide to take a limited number ol pupils this year, and ns in the past, will give iliem her personal attention. The time hns come in Cranbrook when there should be concerted action to se* cure Water works, not only for the general use of the citizens, but also fur lire protection. The town is large enough to insure n good revenue on an investment ranging from (25,000 lo $40,- oo, and it has reached the stage In its .'xistetiee where theie is 110 longei SOy Inuiii us to iu permanency, A business man said a few days ago, that he believed it would lie safe lo insure 7 per cent on a £40,000 plain, under existing Conditions, and there aie others who look upon the estimate ns s c inservatlve one. There are three ways to EeCUfC this much desired Improvement: 1 By Incorporation. 2 By the formation of a com] iny, 3 By inducing the C, p. K. to extend us present system. The majority of the citi/.-.ns would favor the lirst plan, since :t would place a valuable franchise in the ban,Is of the people, and prove a gtei', n venue producer for the town for all time to come. In fact, it would, under proper management, almost pay the expense of an economically managed municipality the sue of Cranbrook, and iri lime provide a sinking fuud to meet the debentures used for its construction. This furnishes one of Ibe many excellent reasons why Cranbrook should be incorporated. The time to move in this matter is uow. It work along ibis hue is inaugurated without delay, m**"*-*" «n«M> De shaped up so lhal a bill would be ready for r.resentaliun at tbe early stages of the next assembly. A year or more ago the C. P. R. went upon record as not being opposed to such a movement, provided Its Interests were treated fairly. At that lime Mr. Bake:, who is one of tbe large property owners here, stated lhat although he opposed ihe movement at that time, he would not do so a year later. With the C. p. K. and Mr. Biker agreeable, there would be Utile question as to the majority ot other householders. The second plan, of course, depends upon the investment uf sufficient capital to float such an enterprise, aud right at this time that would probably prove difficult, The third plan is feasible in every way. The C. P. R. needs an immense supply of water. To meet tbe demand il has run a main from the creek, where it has a pumping station. After this was built, by way of accommodation, a number of homes were supplied at a reasonable annua! rental. So doubt if pressure were brought to bear upon the railway company, and the financial phase ofthe question clearly presented, showing the piobable cost, acd the income that would be virtually assured, the authorities would become sufficiently interested to give the matter careful consideration, and ultimately extend the present system. Tbat is the situation at the present time and il is up lo tbe citizens. Do ihey want water? If so, are they willing to rustle for ii? An Imposition. Last week the Rubinson-McKetiz.e company were seeking the services of a cook. One c»me from I'ernie but when he arrived one had already been employed. Mr. Robinson then offered to pay tbe mall's fare back to Pernio or try and get him a situation, He found him a place and nil seemed satisfactory, A few days later, however, Mr. RoblDSOfl was served with a summoni citing him to appear in Pernie to defend a suit brOOgbt for wages. It would have been cheaper for him lo have paid the de- maud bul he refused to do it and went to I'ernie. When his side of ibe case wus -tnted in court judgment wus Immediately rendered in his favor and the prosecution mulcted in the sum of fi2 for costs. This should serve as a lesson to lawyers who listen to tales of woe by irresponsible parties and make unnecessary expense and trouble for reputable companies.

I But the crowning event was to be tho annual bullfight, In which, Instead of professional in at adores, young cabal- leros, men of high social rank, were to contend for the honors bestowed by the fair hand of the queen of beauty. I Grent preparations had been made for this special function, and long before the appointed hour the rose garlanded old amphitheater, where since the flays of Cortca man nnd beast hud met In nn uninterrupted series of unequal combats, was tilled to overflowing. On ono side rose tier upon tier of dark eyed senoritns, closely guarded hy ever watchful senorns* on the other side young bloods (lmelendndos), with the tightest of trousers nnd broadest of sombreros, heavily loaded with gold and silver trappings, here and there one lu tailoring from the latest Pari- slnn models, for everything French is undeniably1 dear and desirable to tho Mexican heart. %j While awaiting the arrival of the would be decided lu one moment of time.

Hut never Blnco tbo days of Dram has jealousy or desire for revenge, nor love even, mulched human arms With the strength of a bull, nml Enrique's grasp must surety weaken. To drop now was certain death beneath tho angry hoofs which bad pawed tho ground so that man and beast were of Hie earth's color. Then the young senor who, in tlie role of mntndore, was to have dispatched this bull, enmo to hla work with a coolness hardly less notable tbnn Enrique's (luring, aud braving tbe usual disgrace of attacking the bull wben not charging approached the pawing animal, watched his chance and pointed tbo sword. The bull, seeing a more feasible enemy, charged to his own death, For, opening tlio fingers so that tlie hilt rested iu tho palm of his hnnd, Don Enrique so steadied It thnt the onward impetus of the animal forced the keen blade into the very arch of the aorta. One moment, as If daring even this, nnd over ho fell. Don Enrique gave a bound over tho neck and, alighting on bis feet, walked forward to the queen to receive the reward for Ids daring for her sake. Tlie crowd roared and howled and stamped in its excitement. Beautiful girls snatched off their silken shawls, their flowers; cigars, bats, canes nud handkerchiefs by the thousands came In a shower into the arena. But Enrique was all unheeding.

The disappointed anger on Enrique's face did uot lessen any. "I have left a remembrance for him, When he returns, he will lind It, and do you tell him Enrique Costillo left It." "Diablo!" snld old Don Jose wben bo found Enrique's dagger driven to (ho bill through the covers of Philip Carter's lied.
