There have been countless rumors regarding Marysville, and tbe smelter, and man; of tbem have originated in the minds of vicious persons who seemed possessed with a desire to injure communities as well as Individuals. The Tr.bune desires to state right here lhat there Is no doubt about the Sullivan company building a amelter; that it will be built in Marysvlll*-; tbat thousands of dollars bave already been expended on construction; that there 1. no foundation In the statement or rumor that the plant will be moved to Elko or any other place; that G. W. Hall, the general manager, is pushing forward the work as fast aa men and money will do it; and that the man or men, wbo circulated the stories that Mr. Hull was entertaining overtures from any aource for a change In the location, In behalf of the company or with any Idea of personal gain, is guilty of vicious and malicious falsifying. The Tribune would add that Mr. Bull, representing large capital Invested in these works, Is anxious to see construction proceed without delay, and tn bis management is doing what he can to conserve the best Interests of the people he represents. In carrying out a project of the magnitude of a smelter, too often there are those who would do all in tbelr power to create discord and dissatisfaction. The time has arrived for a cessation of tbat kind of work Spring is now here, and with the mild weather work will -fee pushed, the force will be increased, and within two months, tbe great frames of the buildings will be enclosed; the roasters will be completed, and machinery will be going Into place; what has been developing during the cold sear-on, will materialize as a smelter, In fact as well as name, nearly ready for handling the great bo^y ol ore In the Sullivan mine waiting treatment.

"Mining in British Columbia in 1901 was carried on under most trying conditions, among which might be mentioned serious labor troubles, excessive freight and treatment charges, especially on siWer-Iead ores, and the remarkable fall ia price of both lead and copper. "Tkat the industry was able to survive under these conditions is but an additional proof of the wondeiful extent aud richness of the mineral deposits of that irovince." The above remarks were made by Mr. J. C. Drewry, of Rossland, B. C, tbe managing director of the Canadian Gold Fields Syndicate, Ltd,, and a director of tbe Sti. Uugene Consolidated Mining Co., Ltd., at the Windsor Hotel, last evening, in response to a query by a Herald represe ntative as to how mining matters were progressing it British Columbia. Continuing, Mr. Drewry said :—"The strike is practically at an end ; tbe mines are no./ running full handed, and the output Tor 1902 will be greater than any previous year. For several years the charge rjade by the British Columbia smelters for freight and treatment on silver-lead ores has been twenty dollars per ton. This excessive freight and treatme nt charge, coupled with the low price of lead iu 1901, caused many mines to close down. 'On Jannary 1st, 1902, the British Columb '.a smelters announced a reduction of from three to lour dollars per ton for frei gin and treatment charges on silver-li :nd ores, and as the price of lead ia now steadily advancing, the mines will be in a position lo tesutne operations In Dei '-«.U«*, j .,*'», the Etiglieh price for lea*, was £iS per ton. Iu January, 19.01, the price began fulling until it went down 10 ^10 per ton, and has fluctuated around lhat figure until within the la.it few weeks. It is now steadily advancing, tbe present quotation being £11 12s. 6d. SMELTERS TOO SMALL. . "A nother very serious drawback has been the fact that the silver-lead smelters ofBritish Columbia have not been able to bar, die the entire output of tbe mines, and a large tonnage had to be shipped to Unitec*! States aud European points at the expense of heavy freight charges. "Fa.- example, tbe St. Eugene mine, at Moyie, last year shipped 11,000 tons of silver-lead concentrates to Antwerp, paying $17 per ton for freight alone. These concentrates were smelted and re- lined in Antwerp ; tbe pig lead was then turned into white and red lead, aud several thousand tons of these products shipped back to Canada, again paying heavy freight charges. The mine owners of British Columbia felt that their ores should be smelted and refined iu Canada, aud made representations to the Dominion Government to help out the industry. The Government recognized the difficulties under which the industry was laboring, and granted a measure of relief in the way of a bounty for the production of pig lead in Canada. To my mind, tbe relief granted was inadequate, and should be doubled. C. P. R. REFINERY. "The Canadian Pacific Railwav Company realized the importance of keeping tbe mines running, so as to provide tonnage for their rail-.ray, and, to help out, have started tbe erection of a lead refinery in connection with their smelting works at Trail, H. C, The refinery will be ready for operating about May 15th, and, although but a small plant, will lie increased from time to time to meet the needs of the country. It is undoubtedly a step in tbe right direction, and, in the near future, the silver-lend ores of British Columbia will be smelted and refined iu their own province, building up great home industries, and resulting iu substantial profits tu tbe mine owners. "Canada is at preseut a large importer of white and red lead. As soon as the refinery is completed at Trail, B. C, Canada will produce her own pig lead, uud naturally it will be corroded at home and turned into white and red lead, not only for borne consumption, but also for export. British Columbia produces the raw material iu rapidly increasing quantities, and within a few years Canada should be an important factor in supplying the white lead markets of tbe world. Thus it is that the developement of one industry leads to the establishing of others, each doing its part towards the upbuilding of Canada aud adding to tbe wealth of the nation. , PROSPECTS BRIGHTER. "The settlement of labor troubles, the lowering of freight and treatment charges on silver-lead ores, tbe recovery ! in price of both lead aud copper, and I tbe building of tbe lead refinery at Trail have all tended to materially brighten tbe prospects for profitable mining in Britith Columbia, and 1902 bids fair to be a banner year. "There are otber reasons, too. why tbis should be so. Tbe mining boom came on us with a rush. Canadians knew practically nothing of rniawng, and were forced to depend largely ou the wily American. The past five years have been years of education. Experience has been gained, but it had to be paid for. Canadians have taken up mining in earnest, and McGill and the Toronto Schools of Science are Urning out a large number of good, honest, capable mining engineers and metallurgists, wbo cau be depended upon to --.'"-guard the interests of Canadian investors and lend their va'uable aid in the carrying on of mining operations 011 a legitimate and business-like basis. "The Canadian Pacific Railway Company realize the importance of the mineral industry, aud have spent millions of dollars iu opening up Southern British Columbia, The cost of coke is an important item i .1 the smelting of British Columbia on.-s. Tbe coke used it made by the Ccrow's Nest Pass Coal Company at Fi'rnie, B. C. Within the past few weeks this company have cut the price of co'ie down to $d, a reduction of 75epiir ton; and the C. P. R, have granted a reduction of 20 per cent, in freight on coke from Fernie to all smelters in the province. "These faots are mentioned to show that conditions for profitable mining are becoming more and more favorable, and lead to the belief that British Columbia is entering upon a new era of prosperi ty. "Many mining stocks are now quote d at below their real value, while others' are quoted at figures altogether inflated and unjustifiable. Tbe weeding out process is steadily going on, and investors are rapidly learning to distinguish between the companies who are mining the public and those engaged in mining ores." $2.00 PEB YEAR A WONDERFUL DISTRICT f5**5***^^ It is Rapidly Increasing in Prosperity. SOUTH EAST KOOTENAY.IS A MARVEL And Marysville Promises Io bo Of the Important Towns In This Territory. Superintendent Bury Promoted From the Herald- Two weeks agoG. J. Bury, superintendent of the Crows Nest division, went to Winnipeg to attend tbe annual meeting of the officials. A few days later word was received in Cranbrook to the effect that Mr. Bury would not return as he has been appointed assistant superintendent of the Lake Superior division, with headquarters at North Bay. This is quite an advancement for Mr. Bury, and is a material recognition on tbe part ot his superiors of his ability as a railroad man. Mr. Bury came to the Crow from Fort William, where he was divisional superintendent, and his record on this division has been a remarkably good one, as he found plenty to do to im prove ibe service and lo place the road in better condition. He has been eminently successful in both, and at the same time has won the confidence of the business men alonx the line who soon found out that Mr. Bury was a man who did something. Complaints that went to him were not pigeon holed. Tbey were investigated, and where it was the company's fault, it wus rectified at ouce. Although the people of Cranbrook are pleased to bear of bis advancement, yet they regret tbe departure of himself ao d estimable wife, as both had become well known and well liked, and will be greatly missed. Mr. Bury will assume hia new duties at once, and Mrs. Bury and the children expect to leave next Tuesday. R R. Jamison of Farnbam, will succeed Mr. Bury, and J. T. Arundel, of tbe car service, is here at present acting until Mr. Jamison arrives. There will be no changes in Mr. Bury's old staff at this time Cranbrook News. From the Herald— M.

One Is led to dwell upon Its marvelous flrtlllty, its mag ulflcent climate, Its unbounded wealth- i( timber and lis priceless mineral woi 'h. There is no district In the province of British Columbia that can show so 1 'any natural advantages as South Easi ! Kootenay. Where is the district wit *i'n the length and breadth of this great province, this westernmost jewel In the i mperial Crown, that can be considered a farming and ranching country, a tlml 'or country and a mineral country at one and the same timet But nevertbelei » South East Kootenay Is all of theae an, 1 more, It is a manufacturing country. Along the court e of the Kootenay river from Ita source to the boundary, one may see many wei'l cultivated fields and herds of well bred cattle and h irses. The same may be said of the St. Marys prairie country and many othe r parts of the district. Of timber much might be said. There are In the district some ten or twelve saw mills and although moat of theae have been running for some years a very small percentage Indeed, of tbe vast timber areas of tL'e district have been touched. As a mlnei'*'! country South East Kootenay is sec **nd to no district in the Northwest. Since early In ti*»e 00'. gold has been known to exist wlu*dn her borders and vaat quantities of th "- "yellow treasure" have been given up by her to enrich the world. Later silver ,**nd copper, were found In paying quantifies accompanied by lead. To-day South i,'**st Kootenay's mineral worth Is being realized by the outside world and In a very >bort time tbose wbo have camped In Sou'lb East Kootenay and bave nofstruck ca*up"on account of small disappointments will win that rich reward which is their due. Besides the minerals above ment* ioned S utb East Kootenay la perhaps richer in coal than any otber part of the Dominion. The coal field, of the Crow'a Nest Pass are well known tbe world over and now at the headwaters of the Flathead river coal oil ha. been discovered, It Is said, In paying quantities. And now as to tbe manufacturing side of the question. At Fernie and Michel), In the Eastern part of the district, the largest coke Industry In the Dominion is carried on. Then throughout the district lumber, lathes and shingles of all kinds are manufactured in huge quantities and are shipped to the Northwest Territories aud Manitoba. Within the bounds of tbe district we bave also such domestic industrious as brewers and soda water factories. The great coming Industry however of the district 1. the smelting of ores. As everyone knows at our own town of Marysville a first class up-to-date smelter Is being erected by the Sullivan Group Mining company. First with tbe idea of smelting their own ore from the Sullivan mine and then tn the near future to connect custom smelting with their business. Further this company will erect a lead refinery,the first In the Domlnlm of Canada, and later on white lead and lead pipe works. From all of the above may be seen tbat South East Kootenay Is a progressive district, one of which any man may be proud of being a citizen and one In which any man with energy.and stlck-at-lt-lvness should succeed. Tbere are mauy flourishing towns In the district, all of them growing, but at the present momeot none of them are so much "tn the public eye" as Marysville the Smelter City. The reason for this Is that people wbo aie seeking a place lo which to Invest tbeir money look for a pay roll town in which to do so. Marysville Is the coming pay roll town of East Kootenay.

By G. L. Langdon. [Copyrlglit, 1901, by Hamilton Musk] There are two reasons for Christmas feasting aside from the Instinct which teaches us that lhe Joy of holiday making is Impossible or incomplete without good eating and drinking. One Is that Christmas Is the survival ot one, or both, of two great pagan festivals; the other, tbat the mind of man In all times and conditions expressed rejoicing by the laden board aud the brimming bowl. Victory, good fortune, weddings, christenings, nro celebrated today by dinners, as they have been for thousands of years, the practice undoubtedly coming down from tbat prehistoric time wben tbe victory over tbe animal was the means of supplying the feast. We can find trace of It and Its concomitant habit, glftmnklng, In the book of Esther, where Mordecal says to his people thnt on the anniversaries of the days wherein the Jews rested from their enemies, and the month which was turned unto tbem from sorrow to Joy, aud from mourning Into a good day, they should make them days of (easting nnd of joy and of sending portions one to nauthor nnd gifts to the poor. " And what greater cause for rejoicing and the usual expression thereof could exist for the early Christians than the fact of the birth of Christ? It Is true that there were differences of opinion In the enrly church as to the date, or even the season of the year, when thnt all Important event occurred. Clemens Alexandrians tells us that It wns kept by ninny Christians In April nnd by some In Egypt In the month Pnchon, corresponding to our Mny, but long before the council of Nice hnd fixed the dny, separating It from tbe Epiphany, a curious circumstance had operated to fix forever the observance of It lu the European midwinter. Observing the course of the seasons nud thoir relation to the (rowing or lessening length of the days, the Aryans Inhabiting Europe ban come to learn thnt at tbe winter solstice the decline of nature was over Ind that as the day lengthened she relived until n few weeks Inter she walked abroad glndsomely ngoln 111 the grien garb of spring. It wns u fitting time for universal rejoicing. Nothing could he done afield. The bins and butts were still well filled and the entile fnt. It wns nlso a time to remember the goodness of the gods; to make sacrifice as well ns to fenst. Ilenee we (Ind nt the dawn of Christianity two grent mldwlntpr festivals among the two most powerful branches of the Aryans of that period — the Saturnalia among the llpmnns on the south and the Thor feast of the Scandinavians. It Is a curious fact that they appear to lie Identical as to time 0' observance. 111 Home and wherever liomc had ruled long enough to have planted her customs Hie Saturnalia wns 11 season of sacrifice ro Srmiru or social equality nnd of riotous license. Tho slave in many households wns permitted to become master for lhe week of the feasting, aud his master executed the ridiculous orders which he gave. ISun'oon- ery iu street processions nnd In the homes wus one of the chief elements of the festivity. Orgies Indescribable formed another, rresent giving wns universal. The sen kings called the senson Jule (whence Yule), nnd tbey celebrated It In gorging nud drinking, besides milking sacrifice to Thor. Around n great blazing log, big enough to burn for the whole week of the gluttonous fenst- lng, they Hung the half bare ox bones lu rude Jest nnd passed the wassail bowl. The primitive church found these pngnu festivals Institutions which It could not uproot, so it wisely adopted them, turning the sacrificial rites thereof Into worship for the born Christ, stripping the feasts of their grossest sensuality, but letting much of their Joyousness remain. Iiesldes the two gteat festivals mentioned, there wns another observed nt the same time by a large family of lhe Europeans—the Cauls, Cnels or Celts— which was similarly adopted by the church as she spread her teaching among them, but this had a far less Influence than the otber two upon the customs which I14vc marked the celebration of Christ mns down to the present time. The reason Is that tbere was more of sacrificial rite and less of feasting In Its celebration, From It, however, conies the kissing under tbe mistletoe, which with them wns em* blcmntlc of the union of mnn and woman and of the union or mankind wl-.b Banl. I'rom It nlso conies the Obt.st- mns tree, denr to the little one.i, a survival or thu banging or votive gifts on their sacred pines. But out of the other two great pagan festivals arose the principal form lli.it the feasting took. Entlng nnd drinking of tbe best, giving to the poor by right of their equnllty nt thnt season, ns well ns the old mummery, practically abolished since Purllnnlsm tried to suppress the festival utterly In 10-17, nre easily aud directly traceable to those pagan orgies.

I, ami it is not strange tlmt In the beginning of the year turn Rhntihl find an augury for tbe future. Ever since the reckoning of time began the fortune of the new year's Initial day hns been re- gardeO as in a measure Indicative of what was to come during the twelve months succeeding. We no longer go to augurs to foretell the future—thai Is, most of us do not—for instead of being Installed In temples and living in luxury ihe soothsayers now inlinMi bumble quarters in back streets and ai leys. But tho vein of superstition which runs through the human race Is bound to manifest Itself In some way. and, although we are prone to regard ourselves as quite above the foolish practices of our ancestors, we never, theless, In lingering remnants of custom, show that perhaps wo are not bo fur advanced as we think ourselves. This desire to peer Into the future Is tbe origin of uot a few of tlie super stltlons which we now openly deride. With a mental reservation that, perhaps, after all, It Is just barely possible thero may be something in them. Iu nearly all countries some form of divination Is practiced, particularly by the young, ou New Year's day to fore tell the future. The Scottish people are fond of regarding themselves as highly Intellectual, but lu this matter they are as credulous as the pcasatil of the Sicilian mouutnlns. He uses his beads, but the Scotchman employs bis Bible, which he places hack down oi: a table, permits it to fall open of Its own weight, then, without looking, be puts his finger oil a page ami reads thr verse on which It rests, and this Is supposed to Indicnto his fortune for the year. The world over cards and dice arc In high favor ns being supposed to ind! cate the decrees of fate. The card* ami the throws are fortunate or the re verse In ahout equal numbers, so that every one has a fair chance of obtain Ing an omen for good. The actions and voices of tlie animal associates of mau were formerly on this day above all others significant of good or evil to come. A dog's cheerful bark on New Year's morn was auspicious, his howl a very unfavorable sign. To meet a cat on New Year's morning betokens 111 for the future, ns, curiously enough It is regarded In the Latin cotttitrlei as the sign of a coming change of resi deuce. To see a snake Is the worn possible omen, for It signifies death bj violence. A few years ago nn I la I hi t- living near .Milan saw throe snnko together on New Yenr's morning bo fore brenkfast and was so frlgliteuei that ho fell 111, became despondent am did actually die. To see a pig Is re garded throughout souuiern Europe a- a fortunate omen, signifying plenty Ii the coming twelve months, while tin sight of n crow,a magpie or a jackdaw probably from the thievish propensitiet of these birds, Is regarded as a slgi. that the beholder will be systematically swindled during the cumin; two!"" months.
