GALT, Barrister, Etc., Rossland. Postoffice Building - - - Telephone 47 The meeting opened shortly after 8 p. m. Mr. Jas. Sutherland acted as chairman nnd asked a [fair hearing for each speaker and introduced Mr. Mackintosh. Mr. Mackintosh said this was his first visit to the Boundary country? that it was a country with a great future before it, if the people are only true to themselves, and that he hoped some day to show his great appreciation of the country. He bad been charged with being too loyal. Ho expressed the wish that the British Hag might fly over every school house in the land. He would prove his loyalty by relieving the province of the worst, government British Columbia has ever had. Mr. Curtis had asked him time and again what his platform was. The main plank in that platform was the defeat of Joseph Martin. When the Martin government has been defeated they (the opposition) would Iind many men coni- ijig'to the front wri^Wnfln^TOTC-nhflnT selves fully op to the mark. He said that it was a crying shame that the Boundary country had no representative of its own. Mr. Martin had defeated the redistribution bill to serve bis own ends. Mr. Curtis had made a feeble apology with regard to redistribution. He said it was the intention of the government to give it, aud that he had made it a condition on joining the Martin government, that there should be redistribution. Mr. Mackintosh said that, since Lillooet and other districts in that, locality had six representatives, Boundary, with a greater population, should have more still. As soon as he could he would urge the passage of a redistribution bill. Mr. Curtis had asserted that there were only three issues in the election, government ownership of railways, Chinese and Japanese question and eighty-hour law. He said he had been represented as the foe of the workiuginan in this country. He went back over twenty-live years and tried to prove that he had been consistent as the friend of labor. Mr. Mackintosh here favored Ihe audience with a lenghty review of his life and its success. Shortly before he left Ottawa be was asked to act as chairman of the Trades and labor Council. He was presonte I with an address by workingmen when be was leaving Ottawa. All this went to prove that Mr. Mackintosh was the true friend of the workingman. He said that statements had lieen made behind his back that would not be made on the platform that, evening. It was utterly untrue that he had ever been an enemy to the eight-hour law. He had always been a conservative under Sir John MncDonald. Sir John Mac- Donald's government Was the best friend the workingman ever had. [Cries from the audience: "Let us hear something about the eight-hour law."] He said then that although he had been criticised for going back over twenty-five years to prove his record, he considered that the very best of proof. lie said he would prove that Joe Martin had repudiated the eight-hour law. (Cries of "rats."j "Mr. Curtis says I am in favor of Chinese labor. (Mr. Curtis interrupting denied having said so.j "You said 1 did not have anything in my ph.tform ngiiinst.Chinese labor." Then the speaker again turned to the prist to prove that Sir Alexander Mackenzie was in favor of Chinese labor, and that Sir John MacDonald was opposed lo it. "In 18(12 it wns in force in several places in the United States." Then turning dramatically to Mr. Curtis, he said, "My friend, you are not the discoverer of the eight hour law." Turning to Kngland and France he proved very conclusively that Joe Martin did not originate the law. He waB in favor ol the eight-hour law, but had been afraid there would be trouble on account of it. He claimed Mr. Ralph Smith had settled the labor trouble in Rossland on the strength of a letter written by him. .'cries of rats.) "Mr. Martin says he will continue re- enacting certain anti-Jap bills until the dominion government gives in; but instead of Inking the matter in our own hands, let the legislature turn it over to parliament, and let them turn it over to the imperial government." ������ Mitrtfn 'utttits tfr���* borrow oi'iiiiHioir dollars to build and improve roads, trails and bridges. The taxes levied on our mines will go to pay for roads in other parts of the province, instead of improving the surrounding country." Turning to Mr. Curtis he asked if that was not the intention of the present government, and received an emphatic, "No." In conclusion Mr. Mackintosh promised he would do all in his power to obtain redistribution for the Boundary country if returned. The chairman then introduced Mr. Curtis, who came forward amid deafening applause mid said: "I am sure I have listened with interest and pleasure to Mr. Mackintosh's remarks. Although the posters announced that I was invited to attend this meeting, personally I received no invitation. I had been assured that Mr. Mackintosh would not speak here until Friday night. But having received a wire telling me of the change I decided to come on. "Mr. Mackintosh's attitude has considerably changed of late in order to satisfy the people. With regard to loyalty I can answer that Mr. Martin and I arc fully as loyal to the Empire as Mr. Mackintosh is. He says the present government is the worst the province has ever had. He should have offered some evidence to back that statement, he gave no proof whatever. I defy anyone to show that any act of ours so far has not been for the good of the country. "I have repeatedly asked Mr. Mackintosh who his leader is, and what is his platform. He has given us tonight tne whole of his platform contained in one plank���the defeat, of Joe Martin. But he has not given ns any reasons why- Joe Martin should he defeated. He says the members of the present legislature have no seats iu the legislature. Mr. Martin made it a condition that the house was to be dissolved before hn chose his cabinet. It only remains to be shown in June that the men who are in Martin's cabinet will be returned. Martin showed up the coalition, and challenged Forester to deny him. I also challenged him to deny it in Nelson and he did not. The bill would have been dropped and you would not have had the election till 1902. 1 made it a condition when joining the government that the government should not delay four years before bringing on the election, based on fair redistribution. We will have the new election as soon as possible after the census returns come in. Mackintosh does not promise you anything like this, and if he did it would do no good as he has no party to back him up. No matter what promises he may make, you cannot depend upon them as he recognizes no party. Who are the men who are supporting Mackintosh? They are the same men who supported Turner and rubbed you of your rights. He will be working hand and glove with them and they can't see ten miles out of the city of Victoria. He lives in the past and does not hold out anything to you in thefutnre I am going to speak about living questions. We are face to face with Chinese and Jap labor in B. C. Our government is prepared to do everything that will enable us to drive out that labor. Mackintosh is taking a stand in favor of this labor by trying to shelve the question and appealing to the Imperial government. In connection with the settle- I'monfcofrithe"fabontrouble at Kossland, Ralph Smith came to Rossland as a representative of the Martin government. He settled the question ut my suggestion. Only for the Martin government that settlement would not have been brought about. There are a large number of people in the province, allies of Mackintosh, who are slandering us. They aie pledegd to wipe out the eight hour law. If they succeed nO capital will come into the country. If we are returned, no one will endeavor to touch lie law. Also in a letter on the 16th of March he denounced thu eight hour law. Then he said at Rossland when he wrote the letter he did not know he wus going to be a candidate. "In regard to the enforcement of the eight-hour law, they say that Martin wavered, und Mackintosh stiffened him up with a letter. That letter was written on the llitb of March and Mrrtin had announced his stand on the 1st." "At Rossland I made Mackintosh get down and grovel before the audience and say that he was in favor of the eight- hour law. The labor unions backing me proves that I am the friend of labor. I have to thank the unions ot Greenwood for endorsing me the other night. When I am returned to the house I go as much a labor candidate as a government candidate I intend on every occasion to support and bring forward measures in favor of labor. "In the labor unions you will find a more progressive spirit with regard to the country than anywhere else. The majority of them favor government ownership of railways, telegraphs and telephones. "Mr. Mackintosh wants to know what assets we have on which to draw for huililiu; iur railway. Our assets are Continued on last page. THE GREENWOOD MINER Friday May 25, 1900 WAR NOTES. A dispatch to the Daily Telegaap from Mequatling's Nek, dated May 10, says: General Brabant is reported to bave captured 1500 Boers at Clocolan. London, May 20.���11:66 p. m.���The following is tht text of Lord Robert's dispatch: Kroonstad, May 20.���3 p. m.���No official intimation has yet been received but Reuter states that the relief of Mafeking has been effected. Rundle reports having occupied Bresler's Flat, Trommel and Clocolan, the enemy falling back on Senekal and Ficksburg. Fifty rifles and 2,000 rounds were surrendered by the Free Staters to it battal- liou of J'Oemanry working along the telegraphic line from Boshof lo Bloemfontein. A field cornet and 811 burghers surrendered at Boshof yesterday. While at Hoopstad, Methuen secured 250 rifles and between 800,000 and 500,- 000 rounds. A special dispatch from from Kroonstad says that General De wet has sent word that he is prepared to surrender conditionally with his entire command. Regarding Gen. Buller and his supplies there is also an interesting anecdote current. Buller, is appears, telegraphed from Xatal to some wine merchants to send out fifty cases of champagne, marked "castor oil." About the time the wine was due, Buller wired Ihe officer in charge of the base notifying him that he expected fifty cases of castor oil, he wished dispatched withoutdo- lay. The officer at the base replied regretting the cases had not arrived, hut saying be had procured all the available castor oil, twenty cases, which be had forwarded in the hope that it would suffice for tl o present. Gen. Ruber's remarks are not recorded. At Johannes-berg the women are turning a policu corps, SO as to release every man lor fighting purposes at the front. There seems no longer any doubt of the intention of the Transvaal to transfer the seat oj government to the Lydenburg district, nnd to endeavor to make a final stand tl-ere. The mad is reported to have endoi'.-ct! the proposal, The Times also says that a number of Transvaal officials are preparing for flight, and that State Secretary Belts has selected South America as bis future home. Gen. Hunter's movements in the western Transvaal tire rather puzzling. He has returned to Fourteen Streams with one brigade, leaving another, Gen. Barton's, at Christiana, Lord Methuen is said lo be advancing along tbe south bank of the Vaal. Colonel Keke- ewicli is with him. The loop railway line across the Vaal is last Hearing completion, The probability is thai Gen. Hunter took back a brigade to Fourteen Streams owing lo the scarcity of transport. Gen. Rundle has captured 10,- 000 bags of corn. Ik- is marching slowly through a district which is described ns literally "alive with cattle, sheep nnd horses." . Will Get Himself Disliked.

TIIK CANADIAN Steaiii was turned on nl ihe Quilp mine yesterday, and from this time on development of the mine will he rapid and systematic. As soon as possible stoking will be continued by drill power and the ore body thoroughly opened up. The drills will do rapid work, and hy midsummer the Quilp will be "under a full bend of steam." Supt. ('rummer will soon have a diamond drill in operation, and that Instrument will no doubt show up something interesting. The Princess Mil ml has passed to new management and tlii'iv is to be a new superintendent, The chances now nre that the prnpertv will be developed along legitimate and systematic lines. .VfT assessment of three mills, or $8000. lias heen levied and this money will he used in settling" old scores and development work. The new board of trustees Include I.. Linnemnnn, of Untie; Frank Oraves, Volney I'. Williamson, John Hun tier, S. It. Stern and I). Holzman With the splendid show ing already made in the mine, the Princess Maud should rapidly develop into a lending property. That it has a rich lead hits already heen proven, and at greater depth than has yet been reached it is more than likely to open out into a veritable bonanza, Botes on the Premier's Meeting: at Varcouver. Old ilyed-in-lhe-wool conservatives freely admitted that no politician in the province ever had a greater reception than Premier Martin. The ladies present in the front row enjoyed the speeches quite as much as the men folk did. The great number of young men present was surprising and signilieent Joseph Martin is a young man's man���he is no old fogy. "Wha'. earthly show would Missis. Wilson and Cotton have up against a thoroughbred like Premier .Martin'.'" said a local sport, as be was leaving tie hall. Aldermen McQueen never spoke better, and dealt with his subject in a scholarly manner. II. B. Gllmour made a favorable impression and gained many votes by his thoughtful and finely delivered speech. When Premier Martin appeared on the platform the shout of welcome was like the roar of Ningritt. There was only one drawback to the meeting���the smallness of the hall. Some who went to jeer remained to cheer.���World. Curtis and Smith. Hon. Smith Curtis, minister of mines, and Edwin C. Smith, who is contesting this constituency on the Martin platform, were in Movie last Saturday evening and held a meeting in McGregor hall. The meeting was presided over by Lewis; Thomson. Mr. Curtis made quite a lengthy address, and convinced the audience before he got through that he was thoroughly familiar with the du- tiesof the office which he held. Mr. Curtis is a plain, business-like speaker, and received the careful hearing which .Jpi was entitled to. At the close of Mr. Curtis' speech, Mr. Smith took the platform. He said he had just entered the field and In d not had time to prepare an address; that later on he would again meet the people and lay his views before them, and talk over the issues of the day. He endorsed Mr. Martin's platform just, as il stood, and proposed to conduct his campaign on the lines set forth therein. ���Movie Leader, May 19th; ank of Ummerce. Head Office, TORONTO.

THE GREENWOOD MINER Friday, May 25. 1900 POLITICAL NOTES. Premier Martin stated at the Col- wood meeting on the afternoon of May 21st that since the disallowance of the liquor license net there is no liquor law in British Columbia, and anyone can sell liquor. Those who have paid their licenses will have their money refunded. "Joe" may not be a logical retiHoner and there may be some weak planks in his platform, but he may be depended upon to have some fun with the opposition the next few days. His platform may be weak, but ou the platform he is strong.���Victoria Times. E. C. Smith of Kort Steele, the straight Martin candidate iu this constituency, spent several days ir. Kernie this week. He was much taken with the appearance of the town, and predicted that in a few years Fernie would Iu a big place Mr. Smith is one of the original locators of the Sullivan mine, Kimberley, in which he still holds a number of shares He own a line ranch on Bull river, where he is at present living.���Fernie I'ree Press. Victoria, May 1!),���Jas. B. Thompson, assayer of this city, who formerly re- aided in Alberni, has gone there announcing his intention of contesting that constituency as a liberal-conservative. Brown, one of the Martin candidates here, says a very strong man will probably contest Nanaimo for the government' hut he is not at liberty to give his name. The Hon. Smith Curtis and others will address a meeting at Eholt on Monday evening, May 28th. Hon Mr. Mackintosh is invited to be present and address thu olectots. Mr. Frank Burnett is to be the Martin caudiil.ite in the north riding ol East Kootenay and is sure to be elected. Walter lord was nominated on Saturday by the government supporters of Cowiehan to contest the district against C. H. Dickie and Major Mutter, making a three-cornered light. Duncan McPhail the delegate front Kaslo, thinks the Martin man wiil win easily. He is an enthusiastic supporter of (ieorge Kane EDITORIAL EXTRACTS. Not much ia heard of Dr. Hall these days, but it would be a great mistake to suppose from his silence that he and his friends are inactive. Dr. Hall is one of our best citizens; he is popular personally with all classes, and has a strong labor support.���Nelson Miner. A report of this gentleman's meeting will he found ou another page. In these lines the Herald will deal principally with his personality, Mr. Curtis, after warming up proved to be the most effective speaker, it was generally conceded, that had appeared on the platform up to that time, and it is safe to ailirm that he won some votes. He is possessed of tact, an apparent knowledge of huiniin nature and the manner in which to appeal to audi- to win their sympathies and then their support. In brief Mr. Curtis gave indications of being an astute politician. His Statemonts were made with the air of sincerity that often carries conviction but on the other hand his answer made to the .statement made to him by Mr. A. E, Watts, regarding the claims of Cranbrook for recognition from the government as to the establishment of a court, etc., again showed that he is a politician. The Hon. Smith Curtis, while in Cranbrook, far front injured the cause he plead.���Cranbrood Herald. Mackintosh's opinion of himself as given in the Greenwood Times of Oct. 20, 1899: "Mr. Mackintosh's professions on public occasions, are out of touch with his actions in reference to his Similkameen negotiations. At the banquet in Rossland, tendered to him, he is reported to have given expression to the following sentiment: 'Mr. Mayor, reference is made to my generous nature and admirable traits of character. I answer, if to love, my fellow-man, if to refrain from injuring his feelings, if to endeavor to do unto others ns I would have others do unto me���If these be symbolic of a generous nature, I nan without vanity accept the com pi i men t.' " And yet on Wednesday night he assured the audience that he cared noth ing for self praise and had not a grain of vanity in his make up. Wouldn't that rasp you? Premier Martin, as everyone knows, has boon a lifelong liberal. He has invariably advocated liberal measures, and if he is returned in British Coluni bia, il will be a genuine triumph for liberal principles. The premier is a man who does his own thinking, and is not one of those meek followers who ascertain what other party leaders lire saying before he makes a declaration on a public question. And the liberal party is composed of thousands of such men. If the leaders are right the following may he depended upon : if the leaders' wander and are advocating anti-liberal measures, the following will still be found standing on the Gibraltar of principal. When at Ottawa, Premier Martin voiced the views of the liberals of Western Canada, and the liberals of all Canada, lie was no truckler to corporations. He stands to-day the provincial leader of Liberalism in Britisli Columbia. There are organs on the Coast calling themselves liberal, which advise members nf the party to vote for conservatives iu Vancouver in preference to the Martin nominees. (live them anything in preference to anti-machine, atiti-C, P. II. politicians. The Toronto Telegram aptly says: "About the vilest attack yet made on Hon. Joseph Martin is the attempt of the Winnipeg I'ree Press to blacken him with the slimeof its own peculiar views," The C. P. R. organ, in season and mil of season has endeavored to misrepresent Mr. Martin. He has his faults, everyone has ; hut he deserves fair play. The railway organ has not yet had the decency to apologize io Mr. Puttee, M. P.. for misrepresenting him in regard to Mr. .Martin.��� Winnipeg Tribune. J. RUSSELL. T.

"You're the man that keeps tbe marriage, books, ain't you?" she asked. "Yes ma'am" he answered. "What i book do you wish In see?" "Kin you find out if .lack l'eters was! married."

A few weeks ago he was walking with a friend, and at the corner of a busy thoroughfare he saw a dilapidated looking Hibernian standing at the opposite corner gazing listlessly into vacancy. "Watch me surprise this old fellow," said he to bis friend. "Look right into bis face and see if lie won't be a study." A second later tbey were abreast of the son of Erin, and the editor pulled ont a silver coin, and said as be thrust, !r it into I lie man's hand: "Here's that hall'crown I owe you. .Now, ilon'l go round any more telling people that I don't pay my debts," For a second the man's face was a study. He was amazed at the niilooked for kindness, and then, as its purport dawned on him, he raised his In ad and said: "Heaven bless your 'onnert. I'll never say another word agin ye. But," and his eye's Iwinkicl merrily, "are ye sure it wasn't a crown ye owed i me?"' The friend roared. "Oh, pay the man in full! Don't try to beat him out of a I paltry half crown." The Irishman got bis crown, but the editor no longer pays his debts at sight now. LABOR NOTES, World's labor congress, will occur in I'aris, September 28 to 28.

Attacked and ilenounct'd as scarcely any oilier institution ever has been, Ihe unions have thriven and grown in the: face of opposition. Tbis healthy vitality has been due to the fact thai they j were the genuine product of social needs : ���indispensable as a protest.and a struggle against the abuses of industrial government, and inevitable as a conse-1 ipience of that consciousness of strength inspired by tbe concentration of numbers under the new conditions of Indus- i try. They have been, as is now admit-j led by almost all candid minds, instruments of progress. Not to speak of' tbe material advantages they have I gained for workingmen, they have developed powerful sympathies among j them, and taught them the lesson of | self-sacrifice in the new interest of their j brethren, and, still more, a new spirit of independence and self-respect. They have brought some of the best men to the front, and given them the ascendency due to ibeir personal qualites and desirable in the interests of society."��� Joint K. Ingram. L. L. D.

The dominion government disallowed the acts framed br the Manitoba government, but Martin continued to reonnct them.

Mr. D. G, Monro of Phoenix called at. this office, Wednesday last, and asked that the following item which appeared in the Miner of the 8th inst. be corrected : "D. G. Monro of Phoenix was in town Monday and says that town will go solidly for Hon. Smith Curtis, in spite of the threats of the mining companies." It appears that Mr. Monro was an employe of the Old Ironsides company previous to the election. He also was a strong supporter of Mr. Curtis. After the election be was discharged. Why the officials of the Old Ironsides should take the item as referring to that company we do not know. It may be that "The wicked flee when no man pur- Slietll," ill this case. It is to be regretted that the officials of the Old Ironsides company have taken such harsh r measures after a denial by Mr. Monro, as all fair-minded persons will look upon their action as a punishment of Mr. Monro for his support, of Smith Curtis. The discharge of Mr. Monro will undoubtedly convince unprejudiced persons that the action of tbe company was intended as a warning to employes to vote "right" at future election-. Suit For Half a Mi Hi oil. The suit of I.. P. Williams vs. the Hritish American Corporation will come up for trial before a jury in the Supreme court on Tuesday next at Victoria. This suit involves about $230,000. The suit grew out of the purchase of the l.e Roi by the British American Corporation. It Is alleged that during the negotiations for tbe purchase of the mine by lion. I'. II. Mackintosh the latter carried ou the deal principally with Col. I. N. Peyton, who represented 260.000 out of ihe B00,- 000 shares of the capital stock of tlie old L '. Roi company. The other parties at interest with Col, Peyton were Valentine Peyton, .1. M. Armstrong, W. D Henley, and I.. P. Williams, of Spokane: ('. I,. English, J. T. English and otli-rr- of Danville, III. The sale of ihe majmily interest was cleverly prevented by the minority steokbolders, consisting of Senator (ieorge Turner, Win. .1. Harris and others, who appealed to the courts and successfully prevented the majority for a tfme from consummating Ihe deal. The majority Anally secured ihe price it wanted. The result of tliimllsagreeineiit was that the majority stockholders goi $0 per share for their holding* an I the minority JN. It is claimed by William-, who is Ihe trustee for Ihe plailltilf", thai during the progress of I ho negotiation il was agreed that $ii per share hi- pal I (or the majority holding, ami tint this was done, ll is further alleged thill Col. Peyton pointed out thill US he and bis associates had control they would not part with their shares unless a further consideration wasagreedto. He further states that Mr. Mackintosh agreed to pay the majority stockholders the same price per share as was given for the shares of the minority. This amounts to %2 per share or a total of $520,000. The defendant corporation makes a general denial of the allegations of the plaintiffs. If you want to take vour girl for a drive, get a rig from Robbins & Harvey. The Political Stopc. In the political mine of British Columbia last Saturday about 00 blasts were touched off and when the smoke cleared out of the stope about88 of them were found to be effective. The ore knocked down is principally Conservative, some chunks of Martin and traces of Labor, Liberal and Provincial party. It is questionable whether it can be amalgamated sufficiently at the legislative smelter in Victoria to pay shipping expenses. Much of it is refractory and another shipment may have to be made before the mine will | pay dividends. The I wo grades of Con- j servatives seem to predominate and will probably be run together to save the country from going over the dump. In Kootenay and Boundary the miners stood almost solid and elected their favorites. The men were evidently guided by their leaders w ho were probably influenced by some sort of gain. If all the lenders worked for pure glory and the love of their fellow man they de- | serve great credit for their success even if it is misplaced. ��� New Denver I .edge. J. RUSSELL. T.

While under my control I strove to have its Col u tn ns filled with mining news from tho surrounding milling camps. In polities I used its columns for whit I considered the liest interests of the province in general, and Boundary Creek district ill particular. Otlier political contests will come in the future and I inn confident that the present management will, though perhaps differing from me, work for Ihe district's best interests; and the milling news found ill its columns will at all times he of a high standard without a tenth of wildcat booming. I thank the public for their past patronage and bespeak a like liberal amount for my successors. With hest wishes for the success of the Minku, Faithfully yours, W. S. Kkitii. In taking charge of the- Minkii the management does not expect to furnish a better or more readable paper than bus been published heretofore, but will give n paper in accordance with the patronage received. The principal object in publishing is to make money. News items that can be picked up nnd printed without exertion on the part of the editor will be published. To business men who look upon advertising as a business proposition, we will be pleased to sell space in the advertising or local columns of the Minku. To those who look upon the apace occupied by their names and business as a sort of charity, we would say, take the advertisement out. The manager of the paper is not in need of charity. There will be wages to pay, rent to pay, meal tickets to pay for, and the first day of each month, Sundays and holidays excepted, our customers may expect our collector to call on them and pay and be paid Our position is as clear as we can make it. If you think it pays to pay, pay ; if you don't think it pays to pay, order your advertisement out. The Minkk will be independent politically, supporting that party which it considers will enact laws for the many, and not, in '.he interests of the few. It is opposed to what is known as the "wideopen town," especially is this the case in reference to roulette. Tne game is one in which it is impossible to win. The percentage is far too large against the player. It robs the workingmen, and thereby diverts their wages from circulation among business houses to the pockets of non-producers. It attracts an undesireable class oi people to the town, who are only beneficial to the lowest class of the population. The matter will be taken up more fully in a future issue. A Lettkk front Mr. W. S Keith appears in another column, in reply to an editorial in the Midway Advance of last week. During mi election campaign, little exaggerations are considered legitimate if they serve the purpose of gaining votes. After the campaign, pen pie should shake bands and laugh over their pre-election difficulties. In Midway, the campaign was, perhaps, more bitter than in any other part of the riding, and I be editor of the Advance, being an earnest supporter of Mr. Mackintosh, used strong language to gain bis ends. Mr. Keith was also very much in earnest in his support of Mr. Curtis, and used equally strong language. Doth should cry quits now that, the election is over, as there are more able liars than cither of them in the distiicl. who are not saying a word. In scanning the election returns from the six Koctenay ridings, the coast politicians will do well to note that in each of them the electors returned as their representative the man who was the most uncompromising champion of the eight-hour law. Kootenay is more interested in the eight-hour law than is any other section of the province, and the pronouncement, of the people of Kootenay upon it should b^i given due consideration���Nelson Tribune. West Kootenay is by far the most important district in the province, so far as mining is concerned. For the year ending December 81st, L8VI9, there were 1155 crown grants issued for mineral claims situate in the district, as against a total of ill in the remainder of the province. In East Kootenay crown grants were issued for 21 claims, H in Lillooet, 111 in Yale, 15 in Alberui, 88 in Nanaimo, ii in New Westminster and 0 in Victoria.���Nelson Tribune.

To tin; editor of The Miner���Iri the Midway Advance of June Iltb appeared an editorial concerning- tlie Greenwood | Miner ami its editor. As I was acting I in Unit capacity when the article was i written, I beg leave to answer tlie in-i ainuations contained therein. When I returned from the east about j the Inst of February my predecessor, 1 f Mr. Gosnell, informed me that he had a deal on with C. H. Mackintosh for the | Miner and I (tcquiesed in the deal, but from business reasons Mr. Gosnell eeased to be connected editorially with the paper, nnd I took charge, niv lirst issue coming out March 18th. A couple of weeks after I wrote Mr. Mackintosh offering the paper for sale, for ns a mining engineer I never considered journal ism my forte. Still, I bave striven to keep to facts throughout my management of the Miner, which is more than can be said of the Advance. Mr. Mackintosh nor any agent of bis never approached me for the purchase or support politically of the Miner, neither did Mr. Curtis or any agent of bis. 1 took the pait I did in the election because I believed the return of Hon. Smith Curtis aud the Martin government was the best thing for the province in general and for the Boundary district, in particular. Tbe Advance lies and lies maliciously when it says ''Prior to Mr. Gosnell's connection with the (ireenwood Miner that paper was notorious in the Bonndary Creek district for its readiness to indiscriminately publish favorable write-ups of mineral stock claims and mines in return for or other considerations." As to the change of the Miner from n j weekly to ii semi-weekly 1 alone am responsible for that, never receiving one cent from Smith Curtis or any agent of | his for making the change. Tlie Midway Advance with its little circulation ! I could injure HO one, especially where I people are acquainted with its manager land editorial writer, and its whipper- snapper of a canned-goods fed country j bumpkin or its sballow-pated cnntnnk- ! erons editorial ink-slinger would be just j as much thought of if they would be sparing of their nonsensical shallow articles and write some news of their town which someday will be one of the centres of trade in the Boundary district I and which should haven live, independ ent paper to make known its worth. Tbanking you In anticipation (or spnco for this letter, I am Yours Inily, W. S. Keith. "It must lien source of grenl satisfaction to yntl'' remarked the millionaire's friend,''to be able to give these large" sums to struggling i nt tit til ions of learning." "You notice," said the millionaire, ,,my gifts are generally made on condition that the beneficiaries raise an etpiil I sum within n Certain time." "Yes." "Well, I think I get more satisfaction from seeing tbe managers skin nrolliiil after that money than I do from any- tbing else." THE GREENWOOD MINER /// Friday ,45lS-2_��j-tOO. POLITICAL NOTES. The Cottonites, the Wilsonites and the Mackintoshes may now safely be labeled "bust." Ralph Smith should be proud of his part in the preliminaries to the coronation of King Dunsniuir. Dunsmuik, Turner, Eberts I Mackintosh and a Chinaman would have made the aggregation complete. The gravel train arrived iu Phcenix on election day. Tbis accounts for the large vote polled there by Mackintosh, Now that Duiisuiuir has again taken over the management of the province, the people need not fear the encroach uieiits of the New Vancouver Coal company. The difficulties of Joe Martin in capturing the votes of the people are nothing when coin pared to the difficulties of Jas. Dunsniuir in capturing honest men lor his cabinet. A Dispatch from Victoria states that the Trout Creek Constable range will be stocked immediately. Tbis will prove beneficial to many of the non-producers Ol the province, There is a scheme on foot to "re-incarnate" the three bolters from the Liberal association in (ireenwood. Or perhaps the scheme is for tbe three bolters to "re-incarnate" the Liberal association. Mayor Garden of Vancouver and Mayor Houston of Nelson have each declined a cabinet position in Dunsmuir's ministry, for the very good reason that neither of I liein could be re-elected as members of the present government. When the "reincarnation" of ihe Liberal party lias taken place, and the moss has been scraped off the backs of the Conservatives, there will be other issues than which of the coal companies shall manage the affairs of the province. The new premier has sufficient wealth to preclude the likelihood of bis taking part in petty peculations, In intellect he is equal to the average British Columbian, which, judging from tbe legislators sent lo enact laws for the province iu the past twenty years, should be used sparingly by tbe owner, and voted for Seldom by the elector. The motto of the Dunsuiutrs has been, "What we bave, we, hold ; what you have, we want to bold." The Hon. James Dunsniuir may make a good premier, and the province may prosper under his guidance, but if so he will prove traitor to the traditions of his family and the Victoria compact of which he is one of the leaders. Among; the Missing. The following gentlemen, who had seats in the last house, are missing from the present one: Messrs. Bryden, Higgins, Robertson, McKeehnie, Macpher- son, Cotton, Tisdale, Forrester, Semlin, Deane, Kinchant, Helgesen. Kellie, J. Martin, Hume, Baker and Henderson (17). Of these, one-half did not offer for re-election. Of the members who voted for the defeat of the Semlin government, two have been defeated and one did not offer again ; the others bave been elected. Of the Semlin government only one offered for re-election and he was defeated. Of the members of of the late house who voted with the Semlin government on the final want of confidence question only six are in the new house. The overturn is complete.
