And the rumor ia fast crystallizing into more substantial oyidence. Influential men, who are supposed to speak With authority have slated that such are Mr. Corbin's intentions. One man, a visitor to this placo, but why is Woll known through tho stato of Washington and especially in rajlroad circles, told a Mineb reporter that ho know positively lhat Coibin put up ?1,000 toward building the 1,0110 Bunch wagon road, The Bono Knuch pass, it Is claimed Is only ltiOO feet above Kottlo river aud tho ascent as so gradual that a railroad would have little troublo crossing it. Tlie Sherman pass on the contrary, lying south of tho Lone Ranch pass and ovor which one of tho trails to Eureka runs, is ovor 3,000 feet above tho river and 6,000 above sea level so that it would hardly be a practicable route for a railroad. . Here is what the British Columbia Mining Critic says regarding Boundary Creek s railroad .pro.-.r .is: "There'seemB to be llttlo doubt ' 'resident Corbin, of the Nelson & Fort Shoppard and connected railroads, is on tho alert with a view to connect Boundary creek with tho American railroad system to tho south by menus of his lines.

STOP AND CONSIDER Tbe recent storl-s put Into circulation concerning the immonsa richness of the oro found in Lureita camp t n the reservation and the great,wonders that the Cli ' thers of War Eagle fame, in- .'<•..- 'ri the building of a town at dial puint, has started an unprecedented "skeddadle" for that Camp, Every roa I an.l trail leading in tbat direction iy, lined with prospectors, i liners, tenderfoot clerks, professl mal men, merchants and overy other '.lass of people, afoot, horse backi by stari« and wagon, to get in on tho "ground floor." Like every other excitement of this character, it ,'s almost sure to result in disappointment, hardship und more or lees suffering to a large precont of those who arc attraoted thither, while a vory few will reap their reward. This Eureka excitement is similar to a lartje number of others, and no dembt will have the eame result an did tho rush inlo tho Coeur d'Alene camps, Cripple Creek and the Rossland and Slo* can country. Everyone of these flections havo produced some good paying properties, and many millions of dollars of gold huve been added to tho world's wealth, but of all the thousands who rushed into theso places at the first excttment only a for/ wore fortunate enough to make a stake. Eureka is no doubt going to make a good camp and will doubtloss have a number of good paying properties and thoso who have sufficient means to speculate in mining' properties will doubtless reap a reward provided they know enough to "let go'' at the proper tixo, hut for a person to gj thoro with just sufficient moans to roach tho camp and oxpect to drop into a good "fat job" or lucrative business, he will be sadly disappointed because thoy aro nut lu be found. WHY THE "fliiNER" KICKS, "What is tho newspaper for anyway if it isn't for tho public? They make their money out of the business adver- tisments and ought to publish notices to contractors for nothing."—Alderman L, A. Manly, at last woek's council meeting. Of all tbe persons in Grand Borks Mr. Manly should bo the last tc ack the Miner to publish something for nothing. Notwithstanding the fact that he is the proprietor of the biggest saloon, sporting houso and alleged hotel in the town, has large property interest in and around Grand Porks, and is better ablo to contribute to the support of the paper than almost anyone oioo in the city, during tho last yoar the Miner has not received one cent from Mr. L. A. Manly and the princely sum of SlK.OO will cover every cent of money paid by that geutiomau since tho inception of of the paper for advertising or job work. Audit might be stated further that jvhile the mayor und every motr.ber of tne council are men engaged in business in (Irand Forks, only twoof them advertise, and that to the amount of only SO.jO a month. And again it can bo truthfully stated that it it had not been tor tbo business this paper received from outside sources it would nut have biou running today. The combined business it recaivesfrom tho merchants ot tho lown uud town- site company dues not justify the publication of a paper halt the size of the Miner, and still thoy complain bocause the town is not "boomed" more and Koine of them have the unmitigated "gall" to presume that the newspaper sbold do work for the cily for nothing. "Consistency thou ait a jewel." NO Cl.ACE FOR AGITATORS. The Nelson Miner says, in regard to a report published In tho Spokesman-Review that mob vislonce wns likoly to result from tho relocating of the Volatile and other claims; "This io a law abiding land iu the full sonse of tiio term. If any rascally anarchist or populistic demagogue doubts this statement ho has only to buck up against our regulations for "life, liberty nnd the pursuit of happiness" to go where his opportunities to become a greater annoyance will bo extremely limited. The disgraceful scenes of lawlessness recently enacted at .Missoula rind Urbana aro unknown in Canada, and mob rulo and vigilance committeoc iu Kootenay arc imposi-i'-de, Murderers are hanged, in thia country." Now that it is pretty thoroughly Bet- tlod that Kettlo river and Boundary districts ure not to have a Canadian railway this Boason, let us atop "chewing th'* rug" on that point, and commence It i.-, announced on good authority that James Clark has raado tho state- mi it that it those who owned property up tlio North ! ;.t!'. • ould offer suf* Sciont Inducement, that himself and as- dosiatos would op, n up n te properties in that locality, [f [i:\, tatement is true, tho opportunity should not bo a'- lowetl to slip by, and The Mineb would suggest the calling of a meeting of the North Fork property owners and business men and appoint ti committee to wait upon Mr. Olark to assertaln what concessions he would desire, aod if they are not too great, to tako' steps ne ceesary to bring about some kind of an agreement satisfactory to all concerned Tnr Rosslandor has changed its form of publication to a magazine stylo and aunounces that it will hereafter devote its pages distinctively to the mining interests of the Kootenay region and Trail creek district. In compliance with this intention its name has been change! to The Ro=2!audoi* and Kootenay Mining Journal. Tho f.eid which this publication will represont can certainly support a paper devoted exclusively to mining. «_«. . Eureka will undoubtedly prove a rich frco-miHing camp with proper development. The samo amount of work and capita! ospended in any camp up the North Fork would produce tie good results and mako Grand TorUs the town of the Boundary district. Offer sufficient inducements to get tha Clark brothers and associates interested in the North Pork district and then, "Keep your oyo on Fasco.'' If the statement ia true that as soon as it is definitely settled tbat a smelter will bo built at Northport, Corbin will com* mpnee work pn his Kottle rivor extension of tho Red Mountain road, dirl will be flying on that lino before many days now. Thk Revelstoke Herald has increased in sice to a four page seven column paper. * It is keeping up with the growth of tho town it represents, Ti-15 location of the LeRoi smelter at Northport means a great deal for this section of tho country.

The load on Iho surface shows about RQ feet in width audit has been exposed by Open cuts for a distance of iibout 200 feet. In making it trail through the brush to water a new strike was made on the lead about 1'* feet from tbe shaft, and it is now certain that the Immense showing of quartz discovered in the stream several hundred yards bway, is a part of the flame ledge though not carrying the value*, found where tho work has been done. The me i.i a quart*! matrix carrying copper and pyrrhotitc and witli it occurs pyrrhotitc in massive form. Ono of tho striking features of Pathfinder mountain, and one lhat leads to U.e belief that tho orb bodies on the mountain will prove perratini nl Is the fact that in all the leads practically th;- samo character o Tbe ledges vary of course in widt 1*130 considerable varionco in the r ed bul in all of them tlie oharacte matter Is Identical. The Pnthtindcr Is now making a most satisfactory snowing, and it bids fair to become one bf the most valuable properties ln British Oolumbia. Tlio Diamond Hitch, owned by the Ranlston Bros, is undoubtedly in a fair way to become a formidable rival of Ibe Pathfinder in the claim for first place among Ibe properties on the mountain. The now strike made a short lime .ago about 100 feet from the shaftfurnishes additional proof that tho Diamond Hitch Is an exceptionally good property. Work is proceeding right along and the shaft is now down about 2fi feel in solid mineral. Beside the massive pyrrhotile and quartz matrix, s honey-combed Iron occurs in the Diamond Mitch, very similar to that taken from the Nickel Plato in Rossland. Recent workon the Hidden Treasure, which adjoins the Pathfinder on the north has shown a line bod;,* of quart:* from which flattering assays have been obtained, Tho Hidden Treasure is owned by Frank Gusey of Rossland The Standard, adjoining the Pathfinder on tlie east an.l owned by Evan Kvans is also making a good showing, 'l'he property lias been prospected by „n opep cut ami two shafts 12 feet deep. Down tbe bill from the Pathfinder, C.E, Hull has forces of men working ou tho DoWinton, Little Winnie and Cold Nugget. On the Mammoth, tying north of the Diamond Hitch and owned by Kvan Kvans, two leads are shown but no work is being done upon them at present.

Even lit one cent a share thus would imply a valu<j of 810,000. No prospect is worth tbat sum. By merechance it may prove to bo valuable, but io this state, where the ore is usually of low grade, tlie whole value of most mines is represented by tho labor put upon them, t'hoy aro like quarries, where lho stone lias but little value until capital and labor have hew.] its contents into blocks and placed them upon tho market. The that inquiry before incorporating i company, or at least buying shares in it, should bo the cost of turning tho rock uto merchantable gold, Too many in* v 'store are captured by the example of the Douglas island mines, where, it is explained, ore avoragii g ;" ir worked at a prolit.. But tbe vory important facts are entirely overlooked that the Tread- well mines are immense boiiios covering a large number of claims; that the rock is . lose to tide water, and thut a fortune was swallowed up before a dollar was earned above espouses, There are excellent minos iu this state and in British Columbia, but that fact does not add any value to hundreds of properties incorporated with a huge capital on paper. The buyer most discriminate. Thoro is grout risk undor tho most favorable conditions, but before investment is made there should be certain conditions insisted upon. It would be an excelieut precaution if incorporation of any mining property were prohibited until the claims ownod by it woro patented. Now many companies aro based only upon tho location, and tho omission of on? year's assessment may lose them even tho shadow of a hope of return. It is true that such an inhibition would cheek "mining." But it would only check it lo the exteutol' makirig the investor sr.- cure. It '.vould compel prospectors to accept a reasonable return for their labor, and it would do much, to prevent the doatiug of wildcat stock, because the ne- eesary preliminary of SO00 worth of work would place a certain responsibility upon tlie promoters. The laxity ef our lows has not stimulated genuine mining* it has only facilitated the scattering of hundreds of thousands of shares upon people who will Im grievously disappointed. In the absonoa of such laws aa will afford protection, the public must use tbo samo judgment it would in making any other invest ment — -Seattle Post-Intolligencer, bPOKESMAN-REV Mr Cat.i.U.m'- Tho Spokane Si SOUNDS l-'JSHY. v's Report of I iel \'t Prudence In Hilling Speculation. Before lho evil assumes proportions sufficiently grave to menanoe our icter- ests, thete must be a decided stand taken against wildcat mining stocks. There can be no doubt that sufficient mischief has already been done to arouse tho peo' jjlo of thin state to the threatening danger. Mining cannot bo mado a success by gambling in stocks, and for that reason stuck exchanges will bo for some years a disadvantage. F.von with hon est intentions, tho members of a stock exchange cannot investigate every stock presented for lisling, and a temporary excitement is apt to bo too readily ac- oepted as a guarantee of a permanent value. lho news comes from Canada that some of tho cities are already overstocked, and tho records of our stato department bear witness to the enormous number of incorporated mines compared with that of mines in course of actual operation. A recent visitor speaks dolefully of tho outlook, but ho basc3 hi** complaint ou what seems to bo a vory wise provision. 'One of tho ti,? agreeable things a fellow stumble up against," ho saje, "is the lawiu Ontario prohibiting the sale ot liritish Columbia stocks by authorised agents until such companies have been registered in Ontario and statements of their conditions laid before tho proper authorities.'* This may bo a disadvantage to tho stock biokes, but it affords excellent protection to the buyer. • Those who desire to see the mineral "resources of tho state developed cannot *!'

Farren claimed that he reStaked the claim Instead of, as staled in the Spokesman-Review, cutting down the oid notices uud substituting his own.

Delay in the appointment at Grand Forks has caused much. annoyanoe and probably loss. In one lustancs an owner called at the floss land otlico to record his assessment work on Juno 27th on a property east of Chris* tir.a lake, formerly part of Trail Crook division. Mr. Kirkup, tbe recorder here, informed him that all records had boou transfered to Orand Forks, but took his affidavit as to the work. '1 ho certificate of work was then sent by registered mail to tho mining recorder at Orand Forks on Juno 18th. Tho letter was delivered to Mr, McCallum, who had previously been porform'ng tho duties of recorder tbore, as an accommodation to the public, who, on seeing lho contents of tho letter, redirected it by registered mail to the ponder.

While thero he mado arrange* merts to have tho assessment work dono on thoir holdings in that camp. In speaking of the pteseut rush to Eureka Mr. Piggott stated thut everything waR being overdotio and bun dredsof peoplo were there who did not havo means to exist ou and there was no possible chance for them lo procure work, owirg to the fact that there was no building going on, and tho prospect for a building boom was very Elim and would bo until such timo as some pro visions were made by the department ut Washington for tho opening of the reservation to settlement, for townsite purposes ut least. lie also gave tho opinion, that within tbo next six Weeks tbe present exodus to Eureka will bo turned the other way and tho roads and trails will bo lined with peoplo going out instead of in, and the different camps of this section will got a largo proconta;e of the o Vet flow at Eureka. Said hy: "Tho wagon road from Wiiber is completed and the number that is coming in froln that direction is much larger than from this way.

Important Deoisioss Delivered bv the Supreme Court. A judgment of particular interest to mining mon was given bv the full court last woek, allowing, with costs, the appeal of defendants in Conway va Independent Mining company from tho judgment of tho county court judge of Kootenay. A written judgment waa delivered by Justice McCroight, Justices Walkern and MeColl concurring. The judgment is as follows: This is an action on a contract by tho plaintiff with the above company to sink a shaft, etc., for them (on a D ine in the Trail Creek district) for a depth of 00 feet, at the price of 810 per foot. The agreement was in writing, and it was agreed that the company should havo the right to stop the work, etc, whon the depth attained or reached was 25 Teet, and to pay the plaintiff the Bum of 112 DO per foot for such 23 foot of sinking, but that in the event of tho company deciding and allowing said work to proceed beyond tho depth of i!o feet, [hen the pnee to be paid to the plaintiff Was to be •?!(! pel* foot for tho said 50 feet of sinking. The payment for the said work was to be as follows' The Bum of ¥100, to be pavablo upon completion of 10 feet of sinking; tho sum of (160, upon the completion of 20 full feet of sinking; and in the event of a further continuance of sinking upon the said shaft, then the balance to be paid and payable upon the full completion of the work. The finding and Judgment of the learned county court judge wan as follows: "That a shaft 51.5 feet has been constructed, of which 5 feet is necessary timbering above, ground, which is allowed for at half rate, so lhat the actual depth of shaft to bo paid for is iOfeet; but as the plaintiff admits that it would cost 820 per foot to sink down I will deduct 82C from tho amount sued for and give judg* ment for tho balance \-;ith cost3.'' Now. taking it for granted that.the learned judge's system of measurement is correct, a point I shall doal with presently, 1 think his judgment cannot stand. The contract was to sink a.shaft for a depth of 50 feot. The first two installments having been paid on account, no question arises So far) bvlt I cannot say there has been ''the full completion of tbo work," so that the balance is payable, or any part of it. * * * Adopting the finding of the learned judge that the actual depth of the shaft to be pni 1 for is i0 feet, I cannot say that tno balance of any sum is to be paid and payable as upon "thofull completion of the work,'" and tho objection is by no means obviated by deducting the sum of $20 for tho remaining foot. But as contracts of this nature must be frequent* 1 think J may ns well add that tho learned judgo's systerft of lieasnre- .ment seems to me to be subject to seri pus objections, it presupposes as I un derstand his judgment, ttat one sido of the shaft is over ol feet deep and the other about to feet, and thus in round numbers, taking about half tlio difference tlmt the depth to be paid for is about 10 feet. This arbitrary rulo has nothing to warrant it in my opinion. I. think a shaft 51) feet deep means a shaft the bottom of which in every part of it is 50 feet from the surface and not th:-'t as regards a part, and perbapS only a small part, of tho bottom, there is to be the required depth of 50 feet. Tho . proposed rule would lead to frequent disputes and perhaps litigation, especially in places .who: e the surface ot the ground is irregular, as a very little consideration will show, and one great object in tho administration c[ justice is to lay down .rules aa far as possible wnich may be conducive to certainty, and avoid those Which produce uncertainty and unnecessary litigation. Here, supposing one side live feot long abuts on high ground to the extent say a couplo of feet, thon the -haft, as it approaches the opposite aide, need bo only -JO foot deep. If parties intend that 50 feet shall mean only 10 feet they had botter Bay So in ' their written contracts. Another mining case upon which judgment was given was the appeal iu Aldous vs Hall Mines company, of Nelson. Thi3 was an action for trespass brought bv Mary Jane Aldous against the company for the purpose of enforcing an adverse claim under the Mineral Act, 1891,and subsequent acts. Justice jWalkem in the couit held lhat as ■plaintiff had not shown that she had complied witii tho requirements of section :) of tbe Mineral Act, 180:!, in tho jnatter of defining her main lino by ■posts or,the blazing of trees, sho could .not recover. It ,vas contended by the respondents (defendant5) that no prober claim had been made by plaiulilf by l-eason of the fact that the only affidavit (Hod was made by plaintiff's husband. A new trial was granted on thoground that the trial Judge had not considered .the question whether an. adverse Claim having been.tiled by plaintiff's (husband within the proper time, it was sufficient Compliance with the act, which provides that if an adverse claim has iu the opinion of the presiding judge beon 'made, although imperfectly, tho samo •shall havo equal recognition.

Vernon, who came here, three mouths since in the interest*, of an .hve:' Sound, Out., syndicate, has accomplished the obioet ol his journey and will return to his home, in a lew days. He was sent out to locate properties for his principals and has put in hia time in energetically prospecting in the Grand Forks and oil.er sections, but only found small stringers, but what he wanted was souicthng good, and li,- did not care to locate them. Fluftlly he struck some iron-cappod .veins in .the Champion district, Cariboo Mountain, that suited bim, and he took up live claims. The surface showing of iron capping is 1.10 feet wide in places, and Is strongly mincra!i/.ed. The ore ou tho surface goes $11.70 to the ion. Mr. Vernon expects tliat the syndicate will arrange to develop tiie property a--* soon as be makes bis re- port." ... 'Fills Vernon must bo extremely vernal in tho prospecting business if all he, could find In the Grand Forks district was small .stringers. However the value and exceptional size of tlie mineral deposits In this district are so well known to tho mining world that nothing tbat Vernon could say against it could do more Ihaii expose his own ignorance of prospecting. * JFccsh liiiltt.delivered at your door morning and evening.

The'Spokano company that owns tho Black Tall have evidently not boon at nil worried over the jumping, for they have proceeded steadily with the development of the property, But it appears that rather than have a ■.•load upon the title which would bring them into court and cause a suspension of the work' they preferred to purchase the interest which Mr. Cumings cluimed, so Mr'.
