HUGE QUATftTZ LEADS Under the caption "Who Owns Nelson," yesterday's Spokesman-Review prints the following letter from Nelson, concerning the affairs of our neighbor village and to a lesser extent those of this city. Many of the statements in this letter will be news in both places. Perhaps tho n.ost startling paragrap his that containing the unblushing assertion that a number of our citizens do- pire to form a new townsite on tho other Bide of the line, Tho letter follows: "During the past week Nelson has been aroused by another townsite movement. Several days ago a number oi the residents oi Grand forks, six miles across the line, expressed a desire to settle In Nelson. - "The conditions under which title to property iu thiB place is held are unsalisiactory—in fiict.'therclsnotlUeat all. First, the ground! »*as claimed by tbe Peons, two brothers oi Indian blood, who had a portion ot the ground under ience. Next came the opening of the reservation to mining, and placer locations wero filed on the lund, incltiving thegrcat portion of the cultivated Held ol Xarcisse Toon, and a small portion of that of his brother Dennis. In the meantime the miners who had congregated proceeded to lay out a town by having a preliminary survey and plat made of the ground outside the Peons' fences. The platted ground was rapidly squatted upon, buildings were erected, und the town now makes quite a showing. ' "A short time ago a combination of the placer mining interests was effected and an application for patent was made under the name of the Jim Crow Placer Mining Company, owning 16 acres of ground. Tho Peons immediately lilcd notice contesting the application for patent.' "To furthor complicate matters a number of the citizens have organized a townsite company, and a potition has been sent to the secretary of the interior praying that the ground lie set aside for townsite purposes, statiug in their, declaration that tbe ground is more valuable for a townsite than Ior larinlng or placer mining, and citing by way of argument that similar actions have becu taken by citizens of the lilack Hills and Colorado and havo been supported by the interior department. ' "The townsite peoples' petition also prays 'that the funds realized from tho Bale of the lands, after survey expenses are paid, be turned over to tbe Indians, who first owned the hind, They also disclaim r.ny desire to ab- Undor this decision the attornoye can not ;see what boneflt it is to Peon to stop the patent, oven if ho could, for the department holds that he is not entitled personally to any rights on the reservation, by reason of his being a half-breed Indian. They are now looking up the matter to see what authority Captain Bubb had to give Peon any privileges on the reservation which he would not give to any other citizen of the United States. of Sooiaty Represented;— Many Business Houses Going Up.

Eureka oamp, on tho Colvillo Indian resorva* I tion, still continues to he the Mecca toward which the eyes of the prospector and "snap investor" are turned. The camp presents a very- lively appearance with its dusters ot tents, brush houses, "shacks," and log cabins among which swarm crowds.of men, with here and thero a woman or child. Otic of the Eureka merchants informed a Minkr representative that 2,000 would be a fair estimate of the people now in lhe cttinp and if this is at present overdrawn, a fow days will see that number reached, judging from the number of new tents that are pitched every day. One meets there representatives from every social class, every business profession nnd trade while that class of professinal "do nothings" is also well represented. Tho camp however is unique in its general freedom from lawlessness, ami this is undonbtly due to tbc fact that tbe aws of the baited States prohibit bringing In toxicants onto the reservation, nor disturbances originated by There arc ini raall hobo element but they arc frowned upon by the camp tu general and there is.now talk of serving notice on this element to seek oilier fields.

The quartz as.ays all the from a trace to ? 100.00 iu free gold and ih * immense size of tlie leads and the ease \\ ith which they can be worked, establishes good ground for the assertion tlmt Kure.-a is certainly a wonderful camp. There have lieu about Ave hundred claims staked lu Eureka camp proper, and a vory large percentage of these have a little or in. mineral in sight. Tlie bills for a mile or so on both sides of tbo belt hiuc been staked aud many ol ibe claims are good for nothing but for grazing. Every camp lias its wildcat loci* cations and Eureka Is no exception. The sound of blostlllff at all hours ot the day and night give- ample proof that on the bonafi.le properties development work is earnestly pro- grossing. Among the properties thai arc working may bo mentioned tbc Tom Thumb, which Is under bond witli Banker IIolluool; of Garlield, Wash., mnl on which two shifts of men are driving a tunnel. The Republic and Lone 1-ine are both working three siiifls, about 28 men in each min.-, tunneling. Two shifts aro working on the Knob HiU properties, including the Knob Hill, Mammoth and Mountain Lion which are owned by Brown and Bourne. Tiie Sun Poll, owned by Campbell A Finch, has three shifts of men both sinking and tunneling. Two shifts are tunneling on the I'nilp, Black Tall, Lost Lode and First Thought, and on the Bon Tillman.

The most recent jumping was done by Matt I Guthrie ou tbe Qullp whicli is on ono of the 1 main leads and is owned bv E, L. Tate, 0. P. 1 Crum, G. H. Br.iloy, D. G. Russel, G, M. Welty i and G. J.

Welty QU April 11,1886, Later au amended lo* i cation was made, and tho jumping was ' done ou the ground tbat the amended lo- i cation notice does not state tlio date of the original locution. There will be a bitterly contest ed legal tight over Ibis claim as both sides appear to be determined. Eureka's busiuoss houses consist of four general stores, live cigars aud coniectlonery, tour bakeries, six hotels and resturnuts, four barber shops, two meat markets, two ussnyers, two blacksmiths, one livery stable, t wo doctors, two attorneys, one dentist, and one veterinary Mil- genu.

Hugh McGuiar, who with John Hoi- , mes owns tho Atnorijan lili^lo claim ; on Hardy mountain, which was jumped j July 22 by Henry Blair, when a-:'ked by a Miner reporter regarding Blair's claim on the proporty replied that there were absolutely no grounds whatever for tho jumping. "Do you think I would leave a claim of mino lyiNg around loose so that jt could be jumped?" Ho asked. "Well I should say not. If that claim had to bo jumped to hold it I would have jumped it myself." Ho laughed at the idea that anyone woul.l think tliat he would leave a claim open to jumping. cutting, A peculiarity of this lcd-,'0 is that it lien in a hollow on the mountain, in what is almost a Bivamp. Fow would look for mineral iu such a "local ity and tho prospoctor who last rn*n*ing sold the B.C. to Mr. Keough for a paltry sum, ovidently had little faith in it.

Circular Setting Forth Planks Agreed on uy the Executive Committee. The following circular from the execution! committee of the opposition party has boon received! In accordance with a request to that effect from representative men of the party in ull sections of tho province, the members of the opposition in the legislature consented to uct as an executive committee of tho party. In that capacity the members recently held a meeting when it win thought desirable to lay down the general principles of tho policy which lias guided tho opposition in itscour3ein the legislature and ou which, in the opinion of tho committee, the party can with confidence appeal to the provincial voters at the ensuing goneral elections. Tho committee believes that it will havo the support of u very large majority of the provincial \oters, whethor they are supporters of the opposition or tho government, in its view that it would be extremely detrimental to tho interests of tho whole province at the present time to introduce Dominion issues into the discussion of provincial affairs. Tho committee, in consonance with this viow, proposes tho following as the platform on which the opposition will appeal to tha electorate: 1. Tho adjustment of tho ropiesenta* tion of the provinco on a general principle, by which au equitablo system will be established, districts thinly settled and remote from the populous centers receiving a larger proportionate representation than those districts with a greater propulution and nearer tho largo cities, while in turn those districts will have a proportionately larger representation than tho cities of the provinco. 2. Bo organization ot the civil service with a view to greater efficiency und economy in administration. 3. Liberal expenditure on necessary public works under such rigid supervision as will secure commensurate results. i. DiscouiagJtuent of Oriental immigration. 5. The amendment of tho Land act so lhat coal will bo recerved along with other minerals. Timber to be disposed ot by optn competition and in such quantities as tho trade demands. Agricultural lands to be reserved for actual settlers. 6. Repeal of tti3 tax commonly known as the Mortgage tax. 7. Amendment of the law in regard to freo miners' licenses so that a mar. shall not be compelled to tako out a free miners' licenso beforo he can work in a mino for wages. 8. Provincial aid to railways in tho past having resulted unsatisfactorily, both as regirds economy in construction and moderation in transportation charges, any future aid to railways to be based on efficient provincial control both of tho raising and expenditure of the capital and of tho r* t;s of transportation. While Ihe committeo bo'ieves that an administration of provincial affairs on the lines laid down in the foregoing platform would conduce to the goneral prosperity and assist in the rapid de velopmentof thegrea' natural resources cf tho province, it does not ignore tho fact that the most sagacious policy may fail in results by extravagancnor incompetency in carrying it out and it con- -.idors that tho present government is open to the strongest condemnation in both those respects. With united and energetic action ou tho part of thoso who arj in sympathy with the views of tho opposition, the committee has no fear of the result. C. A. Si'.mlin, Chairman. j they would havo more saved at the end of the week. Dont let ui in this young' city follow in tho footsteps of Jim Hill J the man who balieves in employing man i nt fifty cents a day, to work on tho rail- I | roucls, but let us pay tho working men I ' a decent sum for their days labor and [ the City will prosper. This is also a matter that comes with* ! in thu province of tho city council and they should loso no lime in fixing the rate of wages on all city work at the J rate of 82.50 per day. Employ Home Labor. As there is likely to bo sevorul thousand dollars spent in tho c'ty during tho next fow mouths ou a water works system, and other civic works it should bo arranged that the mon employed on these works be local men. This idea of a contractor importing mon f ir.any pub lie work when ho can procure just as good workmen at home is not right. There are a considerable numb-r of workmen of every description hore in Grand Forks that can be had on short notice and this idea of bringing in men from the outi-ide to do this work is an outrago to the community. The city counc 1 ehoul I take immediate steps toward passing a by-law making it imperative for all contractors on city works to emploj local men on Iho works. Another point that should bo noticed is the sn.all wages paid at present on street work in this city; 82 n day is not enough for a man who works all day long in the hot sun. By tho time he pays his board ho only has ubout seventy five cents a diy saved. In a civilized community thin looks bad, wh,*r..as it the men were paid at least 82.50 a day A Hot One. Hera is the way a Texas paper puts it: '•When you ask a man to subscribe for your paper and he says: 'Oh! I never rend much, besides limes are too plagued tight,' for God's saltes apologize to him for the mistake and lo.ivo him. Life is too short to wasto time in trying to teach a mule to sing .Soprano. All gentlemen nowadays read newspapers — and lots of them. Show us a man who lives in a town or county and never subscribes for tho paper published thero and wo will show you a man whoso head is shaped liko a piece ot pie, with tha point up, and whose igooranco is only exceeded by his gigantic gall. A loc-tl newspaper is an institution that works every day and every night, and every docent man in the community is in honor bound to assist in its support. The great trouble is that somo swell- headed galoots fancy they are making the editor a present when thoy tako his paper, Wo havo the profoundest sympathy for the man who lives in a town for years and never subscribes for his homo paper: If that poor follo.v wa3 to encounter an idea in a lane, ho would turn and tly tho other way, with tho tail of hi;3 garment beating the atmis- phere, Ouo of thorn hasn't common sense enough to keep war u in hades."

O.ving to tho tact that tho Presbyterian church ie situated at Upper (irand Forks about ono mile from tho business portion of tho town, it has been deemed necessary for Grand Forks proper to havo a church of its own. In viow of this the citizens are moving in the matter nnd uext week a sub- ccription list will be taken around for signatures in this work, (irand Forks should have a church, and that at onco. Whilo this church will belong to tha Presbyterian church tho district understanding will bo that it is to bo used for genoral church purposes, irrespective of uny denomination, so that overy body no matter to what denomination he belongs can put his shouiuer to tho wheel und help according to his ability. a shoi-!t cur. A New Wagon Road Between Marods and Grand Forks. G. W. Williams, manager of the Kettle rivor stags lino was in the Forks a coupla of days this week looking after tho affairs of bis line. Mr. Williams has been for tho past two weeks, in company with ( hief Engineer Roberts, of the .Spokane Falls & Northern railway, on the reservation examining tho dilfarent passes from tho Columbia river to the Kettle River valley on the reservation, with a viow ot selecting a feasible route over which to construct a wagon roa I from Marou** to Eureka and other reservation pjints, thoreby shortening the distance between thoso two places. At present the travel mostly comes by Grant Forks making tho distance by sta^o about 80 miles, In conversation with a Miner representative Mr. Williams expressed tho opinion that a road could bo built by ono of these passes that would cut tho distance down to 47 miles, which would make the distance from tho railroad to Euroka considerably shorter than by any other route. The distance from Wil* her being 63 miles. As to which ono of tho passes tho proposed road wou'd bo built o.er Mr. Williams stated that nothing delicate would be known until such time3 a3 Mr. Roberts had made his roport. D. C. Corbin hid agreed to giro 81,000 toward tho construction of tho road and it ia thought that no trouble will bo experienced in raising the balance of the money needed. Upon tbe completion of the road it is Mr. Williams' intention to put a daily stage on the route making the trip in about the sain.) time and manner tho run is being made between Marcus and Grand Forks at prosont.

The Spokesman Review says that the framers of the amendments to the B. 0. Mining act know no moro about mining than a cat knows about tho force ot pow ler. The allusion to cats is particularly happy. They know something about wildcats ull right enough, espe daily the interesting variety whose ha- j bitat is .Spokane. Some of them have helped to nourish a little kitten or two ! themselves. Tho province has legisiat- ed wilh a view of confining thoso animals, as far as [ ossicle, in future to their native heather, and moans to stay by it.

A trade license is proper in most I'iisn*-', Lut caro should be taken, that it is not carried tuo far, and while it may prove a benefit to tho city in tho shape of rovonue, still in tho matter if trade it may provo a detriment Wo will tako it for instance, is any ono so short sighted as to think for a moment tliat tlio farmers of Grand Prairie will como to Grand Forks to trade, if thoy are compelled to pay a lico.isj of &» every six months for tho prlvolege of marketing their produce, as provided for in eectioo !> of tbo schedule With but a few exceptions it will bo fonud that they will give tbo town u wide birth, and do their trading were they aro not forced to pay- tor that privilege Tbo vast difference botweon tbo rate exacted between a merchant thut carries u 830,000 stock and that of a livery stable keeper, is another bone of contention. Uy observing tho schedule it will be seen that the former is "hold-up" for only 810 a year, whilo tho lattor is required to produce 830. Is it just? When it comes to planing a tax on an individual who by tbo force of cirouiu- btdncs ia compsllod to gain a livelihood by tbo sweat of his brow, sueh as con tractors, manufactures, etc., itiaevldent that someone Iuie used bud judgment. Tho city could better afford to foster and subsidise institutions of that character than place a tax on them. The MiNf.uia of tho opinion that it tho gentlon.en who drafted tbe by-law had taken the government schedule as a I guide there would bavo boon k-ss causo • for complaint. The*. London Sun expresses the opinion thut Secretary Sherman's mtssage on the seal question infers tnat Uncle Sam wants to "scrap." The editor of tho Sun, it is plain, is cot acquainted « ith that old gentleman. Senator Sherman is a "dead game" politician, ac- custo-rod to imputing evil motives to eveiybody that io not on hia side of tbo fence, and docs not draw the lino bo- t'.vpon tbe language of politics and that of diplomacy. Thero aro ten chances to one he would not stow tho least inita- tlpj should Lird Salisbury, if such a thing were possible, openly express" tno opinion tbat in its position the Unitud btates was dishonest. TRADES LICENSE. Hekr Andkbb has started on his attempt to roach tho North Polo by ba- loon. Men who haw given tho subject BnfBcieot stirJy to qualify tbe:n to talk un tho mattor believe that it ia possible by JhiB means to aecoruplibh what Nan- sen ant) so many others have failed to do hy water. Still the common overy day Uiiocl will consider the undertaking m >re dangerous even than tho Arctic Yontures, and are willing togivo bigger odd.-? than a Grand Forks sport on a fobbed" horse race, that tho courageous Andres will land in that port from which no traveller leturr.B. Tin: Nolson Tribune speaks disparagingly of tbe construction of the railroad from Pentieton to Boundary creok and alludes to it simply as a scheme for tho "outdoor relief" of Victoria laboring men. Woll may tho tribune throw old water on the construction of tbio road for with its completion this will bo one of lhe greatest mining camps in tho province, and tho ruph. to ii will c-quul that of tho Klondyke. Mr. Heinzb has offered tho LoRoi peoplo a free smolter site, certain adjacent wator powi r, half of a townsite and a half Interest in th© water power he controls at Sayward, if thoy will locate their proposed smelter at Trail. It would bo a good thing for Grand Forks if tho townsite company would quit trying to do so nrmy big thin?-? and do a few Biuull ones like Mr. Heinzo. Every mine owner and holder of a claim should lend all assistance possible towards making tha exhibit of minerals at tho Okanagan Agricultural and Traders* exhibition one ttat will reflect credit on the Grand Forks mining division. Specimens shojld ho sent in at as early date as possible and left at tho office of Filley & Ogden, who will have charge of tho exhibit from this city. Thk sale of the ilonanzi mine, near Baker ( ity, Oregon, to an eastern syndicate for 8760,0130, is an evidence that eastern capital is moving this way for investment in leg'tmate mining properties. Whenever a initio owner can show that he has something of merit ho will experience no trouble in Eluding a purchaser at a good round figure. A LARGS numuer ot lots wero sold on Main street upon tho representation that the North Fork was to bo bridged on that street. Can anyone give us uny information as to tho date and time lhat work wilt bo commenced on that bridge. Tub majority of lho papers of tho Kootenay aro howling about the wretched mail oorvico. Thoro m iut be something radio ally wrong wherj thore is so much kicking and steps should be takon to remedy tho difficulty. Thk papers on tno other sido of the line are devoting considerable spaco to tbe KloudyU-i excitement, hut not ono of them mentions the fact that it is i i Canadian territory. WllX Bomebody point out an incorporated town in tho provinco today, outside of (Jrand Forks, that haa not u money order department in its postal service. Portland, Oregon, and San Francisco aro endeavoring to control tho trade of tho B.-itiah Yukon, At prosoat Seattle has the lion's share. Wn would suggest to the city council tho advisibility of putting a fence around tho town in order to slop tho exodus to Eureka. The Rossland Miner wants tho Board of Trade of that place to reorganize. Liberals Will Organize. Tbe liberals of Grand Fonts in viow of tho coming Provincial election noxt June, aro moving in tho matter of forming a liberal associatioi so that they will have all the political machinery in operation in time to do good service f.t the coming political contest. Every liberal in Grand Forks Bhouid not fail to have his name placed on the member* ship list of tho association, roineuiher- iug the old maxim "thit in uuity there ig strength,*" BY-LAW NO. f«.

Manly hadn't changed his opinion, he said, as to its being an exorbitant chargo and wanted to know who bad tho authority of making tho printing rates. He suid if any more printing was to be done tho rate should bo fixed before the order for printing waB done. Mayor Manly said that the charge wuh based ou tho charge of tho Gazette aud W. tt. C. then gave another com* . parison between thU town and other towns where city printing is done, claiming that in a small town legal notices should cost less than ln a large ono. Alderman Johnson explained thai the regular legal rate of the paper had been cut in two for the city. He said that tho Vernon News charged the same rate and W. K. C, Manly said he would bet that the News had ten times tho circulation of the Minkii. This proposition was too ridiculous to bo controverted. Dr. Hepworth and Mayor Manly said that tho criterion to go by was the comparative circulation of tho newspapers, W. K. C. Manly Baid that if he wanted the Bnmo amount of advertising in the Miner ho would get it done for halt the amount. The mayor recommended that the man and would explain matters to them. Thin recommendation was adopted and that bug a-bear, the bridge street road, was broi ched. The cost of grad ing the street has not yet been reportod to the council but it is understood that ! not enough is left of the 82,000 to fill in i the slough. The mattor of putting in water works was discussed and Alder- I man Davis championed tho causo of not spending any money und wailing for tho "country ta go ahead." L. A. Mau- ly shewed that no new buildings could be ei[.ected until wator works were built and that tho reduction in insurance alone would pay tho cost of the wator works. Davis said that there were somo tax payers that didn't pay insurance (he is probably one of them.) That this is only a mining town and we don't know whether it is going to amount to anything or not. He said wator works wouldn't build a town, W. K. C. Manly said that one thing is sure, that a town will not bo built until the residents lustle for public improvements. The mayor said that there was no doubt a3 to the permanency of the town. Ho knew positively of ono railroad that was coming in here next Bummer and there would certainly bo a large number ot people hero in the spring, Davis said that whon w;ater works were built they "cost liko the very devil." Mayor Manly explained how a waterworks syotem in keoping with the needs of tho town could bo built without any great eXpenro, and both waterworks and olectric light system will pay their way when once started. It was decided finally that the whole question revertod to whether tho city should mako the $20,000 loan or nol. .vlayor Manly stated that this amount will pay for all improvements necessary at present, and the interest charge will work no hardship on the taxpayers, L, A, Manly accused Davis of weaken ■ ing on the country. "Havo the hills do predated any?" he asked. "You busi ness men came in here on the belief that the mineral was in tho hills. Because a railroad hasn't como in hero the mines are no less valuable but on the contrary thoy are getting better all the time." The mayor believed that a light system and waterworks would do more for tbo town than anything that could be done. Thoy lend stability to a town and assuro the protection of property, thus encouraging building vontureB. Besido the proporty protection tho ylectric lights would cost consumers less than coal oil and would moro than pay tho expenso of running. After a lengthy discussion relative lo issuing bonds for the 820,000 the clerk produced the by-law relative to tho same which was drawn a month or more agov lho bylaw was introduced by Hep* wortn and considered, passing through its first and second readings, final consideration boing doforred until next Friday's meeting. W. K. C. Manly movod for permission to intioduce at tho next meeting a bylaw relative to laying sidewalks, Tho motion was carried. The city clerk 'was, on motion of Dr. llepwoith, Instructed to write to Osoyoos for the city's rebate for provincial taxes, also to Midway for permission to use tho provincial jail for city prisoners. The matter of tho treasurer's bonds was again brought up, tho city clerk stating that ho had not yet instructed the treasurer to furnish tho samo, His order to do so was continued, W. K. C. Manly stated that the Qre company was figuring on getting a donation of a lot from the townsite company and wanted the city to build a city hall on the same. It Boomed to bo the sentin ent of tho council, however, that the city could do without a city hall for a year at least and it was ordored that a shed for keeping the ladderB and buck- eta be c*matructed on tho lot at the west end of tho bridgo in case permission can bo secured from the townsite company for usiug tho property, An adjournment was then taken until Friday afternoon, The Plan for the Carson MANLY TRACT -IS- S> Now on Sale S Don't Miss the opportunity to get in on this deal.
