(SPECIALS TO THE MINER.) Henley, July 5.���After a magnificent race today the Grand Challenge cup was won by th. Leander erew, who defeated the eight of Pennslvanla University by one length. The attendance was very huge as tbe final for the Grand Challenge was looked upon as the event ot the Henley week. The Pennsylvanians reached their boathouse at 1.10 o'clock, apparently as fit as possible. While many of the followers of the red and blue showed marks of the intense strain ol the final minutes, the members of the crew stripped, chatted and laughed as coolly as though going out for practice. Ellis Ward, the American coach, placed a minatme American ���lag upon; the rudder of bis boat, as tbe coxswain came to the boat house and said to Smith, "Keep that as far ahead, my boy', as you can." Both the Leander and Pennsylvania crews at the start showed no trace of neivousness and were sent away in capital style, the Pennsylvania rowing 43 to the minute and the Leanders 42. At the end of Temple Island the Americans led by three men. At Fawley the time was 3 minutes 25 2-5 seconds,with the Leanders threo feet ahead. From there it was ding dong, a splendid struggle, out of which the LeanocrS gained inch bv inch. The mile was reached in 5 minutes and 15 Beconds with the Leanders half a length in the lead, which they increased to three-quarters of a length at the Isthmian. The Pennsylvania crew made a desperate spurt but it was not good and two men weakened peiceptihly opposite the grandstand. Tlie Leanders won by a length, time 7 minutes 4 4-5 see- on s. "It was a grand race," said Coach Ward, as the Leanders crossed the finieh _line. "We were simply out- rowed and have no explanation to make." It certainly was the best and moat exciting contest ever seen at Henley. There waa scarcely tbe advantage of three feet between them half way down. The cheering for the flon- tettants ae they struggled for the laed, was terriffic. Even Henley had never before heard such wild applause as greeted the Pennsylvanians and the Leanders all down the course and the cheering was delirious fiom the partisan of the Leanders as the latter's boat crossed the line at the finish ahead of the Pennsylvania. FIRE BRIGADE IS ALL RIGHT ownership of a fine mastiff pup, who brilliantly decorated, occupied a conspicuous place on the handsome float which the brigade turned out for the late celebration.

Vancouver, July 5.���It is reported from Mr. Marpo'o's oflice that tomorrow will be the last day when strikers may go back to work. It waa further reported that 25 men a day were being sent from the east. Hamilton, July 5.���Wcnley Farrell, age 15, fell through McNab street bridge and received fatal injuries. No move has yet been made towards putting through the road from Nelson to connect with the Poorman road near Kootenay CroFsing. The present trail, although ir. bad condition, sees a great deal of traffic, as besides pack trains whi.i are continually traversing it, llo'iks of sheep and herds "of cattle are driven over it. The opening up of this road, besides giving a considerable business to Nelson merchants from the mines on 49-Ureelc and adjoining countiy, much of which at present goes to other points, will open up somo good ranching land extending soutli from the Crossing towards Robson. Nelson's record in the line of tire protection has been an enviable one. Since the volunteer brigade was first started every fire has been got under control before tbe building was de Btroyed or even badly injured. In several of the fires that huve occurred in Nelson tbe deadly element has got a' strong hold and the quick and masterly way it has been handled has evoked much favorable comment. The two fires of recent dates that were the most threatening for a time were those that occurred in the Burns' block, before it was quite completed, and in the Nelson Furniture com. pany's store. In the first of these the fire was caused by a candie which had been left burning in a darkroom in the cold storage plant on the second floor while the workmen went to dinner. Tbe candle evidently burned down and fell over, setting fire to a lot of shavings, and eventually to the building. This fire was in progress lor an hour before it was discovered, and was a very difficult one to handle. In the fire at the Nelson Furniture Oil's premises the fire got in among a lot uf highly inflammable goods, in the shape of newly varnished furniture, aud the saving of the building was remarkably good work. The first regular fire brigade in Nelson was organized in tbe winter of 1896-7, the service before that date having consisted of a volunteer bucket brigade of any and all who were available. Chief Calkin was the first to take charge of the brigade, which at the outset consisted of fourteen volunteers, with two I'.obo carts as equipment. The men rrctived 82.50 for every time they turned out to a call, either practise or a fire, this system of paying being kept up till the spring of the present year. When the Klondike rush . came on Chief Calkin resigned his post to go to the north, and was succeeded by Chief Thompson, who held office till last spring, when he went with the Baden-Powell Constabulary to South Africa. During his regime two more volunteers and a hook and ladder truck with a team of horses were add ed to the brigade. A mess was also put in at the fire ball, at which most of the men arranged to get their meals. Three bed rooms were added to the building for the convenience of those who wished to sleep there, also a lavatory. Later a combination chemical and hose wagon was purchased from the Chicago Fire Extinguisher Manufacturing Co., of Chicago, 111 , capable of carrying 1,000 fcut of hose and a fifty gallon chemical tank, always ready for immediate use. Last spring, owing to various disagreements a turnover oceuircd in the brigade, aud on the resignation of Chief Thompson, Mr. T. L, Lillie was brought over from the ('nasi as an experienced and able fire chief to take charge. With Mr. Thompson a num- lier of the men composing the brigade also resigned, and new rnes were put on. Chief Lillie reduced the force to thirteen men, of whom three are always on duty, viz.: Chief T. L. Lillie and H. Stutter and J. Boyd. Besides these there are ten volunteers, wbo are now paid by tbe month, 815, with a fine of 82 tit missing a call. The present members of the brigade are, Captain J. J. Chambers, Lieut. J. R. Campbell, and the hose men, K. Douglas, J. Thompson, J. McLeod, J. J. Foote, H. Houston, Thomas Lillie, R. Thompson, aud C. Lou- din. The object of paying the men hy the month, is to make the organ!/, atlon more perfect, and introduce better discipline than was possible under the old system. There is a small but good gymas- ium at the hall which is steadily used by the members of the brigade, some of whom are athletes of well known reputation. For mascot the brigade boasts LACROSSE TODAY. Medicine Hat and Nelson Teams Will Meet at 3,30 O'clock, Great interest is being taken iu the lacroBSe match���Medicine Hat vs. Nelson���which is to take place at thc recreation grounds at 3 o'clock this afternoon. The magnificent game put up by these two teams when they played to a tie on Tuesday afternoon last leads everyone to expect a better exhibition of the national game this afternoon than was ever seen before in Nelson. Two teams could not be more evenly matched than these and each plays the game in a brilliant, fast and scientific manner. The Medicine Hat men returned last evening from Grand F'orks where they scored a victory on Thursday and are ready to play the game of their lives this afternoon. A few changes are likely to be made in^the Nelson team which should have the effect of strengthening it. The admission fee will be 25 cents and the R. M. 11. band will supply music during the game. Tlie members of the Medicine Hat lacrosse team who returned, from Grand Forks last evening repoit that they had a very enjoyable trip and were treated to the best the town provided. In reference to the game the players say that while it was not as fast as Tuesday's game here it was still fast enough to leave them a bit stiffened up. Grand Forks scored the first game in about ten minutes .and the visitors followed with two games before halt time. In the first minute of the second half the Hat team addul another to their score and fifteen minutes before timo was up the Grand Forks team also scored. This made it 3 to 2 in favor of the visitors and the home team made a most determined effort to even matters. It became very exciting by a series of brilliant rushes on the part of Grand Forks and the defensive but aggressive work of Medicine Hat. Then was a very large attendance and en- thusiasm ran very high. The Nelson team will be as follows: A. Jeff, goal; Farrell, point; Frazer, cover point Vanstone, 1st defence; Thompson, 2nd defence; Hawkins, 3rd defence; I'ernei, ecn- are; McNicoll, 3rd home; 0. Jeffs, 2nd home; Archibald, 1st home; Whittet, outside home; Spry, inside home. Spare, Clarke and Mc.Farland. WILL WORK IN WINDERMERE Nelson People Secure a Half Interest In a Group of Claims. Another Syndicate Is Formed to Operate Lardeau Properties. The following are tlie mining records for yesterday; There was only one transfer which was the purchase of the Masladon hy Kliska Bigelow from Cyril II. Green. On the previous day the O. K. mineral claim was pnicliused by J. A. Schultz from Archibald McDonald and A. 11. Campbell. Three locations only were recorded whicli are as follow.,: Chicago, on Blunt creek, about 4 miles from wagon roatl, being a relocation of the Uio Grand, by U. Loudon ; Sug- inaw, in tlie west fork of tlie north fork of tlie Salmon river, located by Katie D, Greon; Vlotoria Fractional, between the Kmeiald and Victoi claims, one and a half miles south of lVrcupino creek,bounded on north by Kinerald and Sunrise, south by Victor and Unknown, east Unknown and west by Emerald, located by F. S. Clements. The Duncan Minos Company, through A. M. Johnson, agent for the coinpany, recorded certficates of work for the six following properties: Wren. Calumet, Rocket, Planet, Comet and Little Georgio. The recent transfers of valuable piopcrties that have taken place in tlie Fish river camp in the Lardeau has caused a number of prospectms to head in that direction from various points. The number of people in the United States who are more or less injured each Fourth of July by cannon crackers averages about 20(1, In Nelson during the late celebrations there were several narrow escapes from this j caurse but as far as known no one was thej hurt. Cbadbourn & McLaren have just closed a deal whereby they have secured a one-half interest In the Black Prince and Pardner group of claims in tbe Windermere district. It was bought for cash of Joseph Lake of Ahalmer. The property was under bond to Mr. H. E.Croasdaile last year for 811,000 and 81,500 was spent in de vlopment but the work was commenced too late in the season and it was decided not to work during the winter as it could not be done to advantage. In the meantime the bond expired before it was sufficient;,' proven tc justify making the first payment. The ore Is a high grade copper, showing bornite, averaging about 15 per cent copper and gives promise of being a large lead. The pay streak iB three feet wide but thc width of the vein haB not been determined as only one wall has been found. The property is situated on Boulder creek, on the same mountain as the famous Paradise mine which has shipped during tha season 1,000 tons of ore. Mr. Croasdaile owns tbe adjoining property being an extension of tbe Black Prince and it is ihe intention of the owners to pool theii interests and form a syndicate to work extensively at no late date. Mr. A. F. Rosenberger returned the end of last week from F'sh creek camp, iu the Lardeau district, where he has bonded the Oyster group, adjoining tbe Eva, which has just been sold to the London & li. C. Goldfields for 8250,000. II.; will return to the property iu a few days to start development work. Mr. Rosenberger has also bonded the Sir Wilfrid Laurier group, and the Noble Four and Excelsior claims, adjoining the Sir Willi id. A force of men is now at work on the Sir Wilfrid. A syndicate of Nelson men in being formed to be known as the Rosenberger Prospecting Syidicate, to take up Lardeau properties, develop them sufficiently to show their merits so that they will be in lit shape to put on the market. There ' arc great opportunities at present in the Laideau for prospectors as many new discoveries aie being made each day, the ore all being free milling gold. The Kaslo Smelter,Limited, has secured the services of E. D. Wilson of the Standard Smelting Corporation of Montreal to investigate the smelter situation here and make a report. Mr. Wilson has been working diligently since his arrival in town last Friday and haB been visiting peisonally all tho sources of Bilious and dry orea necessary for fluxes, Mr. Wilson when seen would not give any information as to the substance of tbe report.��� Kootenaian. Nearly all the shaies of the Imperial Development Syndicate which thta week ratified an agreement wbeieby it receives 8250,000 for some Lardo properties, are held in Nelson. Tho net profit of thu syndicate is 8175,000, The success of the Nelson men who form this company is but an example of what piollt there is in mining if it is nuclei taken on a business basts. Tbe Nelson Mining Coinpany, of which G. W. Taylor is president, anil Robert McGregor secretary, met this week to complete arrangments for the season's operations. The company Is purely a developing one and will secure propeitles to open up for tlie market. Several prospectors were in yesterday from 49-Creek. They stated that the heavy rains a couple of days ago had flooded out many shafts in that part of the conntry and would cause the abandonment of some claims for tbe present. The Kiug Solomon group on the north fork of the Salmon river hns been bonded to an Indiana company. _-.. - -: Nelson Daily Miner, Satcro~y T"lv 6, 1900 The Nelson Miner Published Every Morning Except Monday ���BY THK��� NELSON PUBLISHING GO.

About Hint second hand article of yours Vou'll ,s,u H if you'll adver- [tise it in ihe Miner want column, ..bison Daily Mirii, Satur-hy, July 6, 1901 COME OVER AND HELP US. We nave the MineB, and You Ilave the Money. So saj'B Mr. R. C Campbell-Johnston in a letter published in tbe London Financial News, of lecent date. After describing the geographical position of tho Kootenay district, the letter proceeds: '"Ihe predominant mineral���and that very plentiful���is silver-lead, as wet ores (currying, say, over 88 per cent, metallic lead) in a slate formation, and dry ores (carrying, say, 3 per cent, lead, in granite formation. Tlie more particular camps are the Slocan, Springer Creek, Ainsworth, Eaelo, Moyie. Klmberley, Fort Steele, Windermere, East and West Lardo, and otburs. Development has already blocked out and marketed immense amounts of ore, tlie St. Eugene mine being the largest silver-lead mine In America. The output of load for moo was 88,090,877���three times as miiihai, in l'BOO. Thc silver output was 88,308,000, or a total of silver and lead' of nearly $5,000,000. This large Increase for Inst year was due to mote railway facilities, such as the, opening of the Crow's Nest Pass road; with the Lardo road built this year, and the Windermere di strict to follow, double as much lead will be thrown on the market shortly. The end of this development, and the Immense amount of marketable lead, will not be in sight for scores of years. ��� ��� ��� Slocan was the first great camp. Prospectors discovered very large outcrops of clean galena going 70 per cent, lead aud 150 oz. silver on the surface iu shines, wliich have been shipped without sufficient further development. There were then uo trails, roads, houses, or communication nearer than one or two small Bat-bottomed steamers on Kootenay Lako connecting with tho United States. The Canadian Pacific Railway came to the rescue, and in due couise built fine railways and steamers to open up the country. Then catnii thc American railways to try and steal tlie trade. Now competition is keen lo tho benefit of the miner. Smelters for custom orss were built, and after several failures at Ooliicn, Pilot Bay, and Revelstoke, we have now two smelters running at Nelson and Trail. The American smelters bought tlio bulk of our ores till this year, when the American Lead Trust came into existence. Now, iu spite of an import duly in their favor of 1 _ cent per pound on lead, und our keen offering, tho lead trust refuse to buy. Why? American Lend Trust is a misnomer; it should.be American Silver Trust. As silver is nearly entirely associated or smelted with lead ores, if this trust eorner the world's output of lead,they eorner the world's output of silver. Their objeet is to take the world's silver market away from Loudon, and transfer it to New York, if they can, and so have this enormous lever of trade witli all silver countries. Can they do this without cornering the Kootenay lead output'.' They think they can strangle it, not knowing the vitality of Hritish blood. I think they cannot corner or strangle us; time will show, or, rather, capital invested here will show, tho importance of Hritish Columbia silver. This trust proposes to shut down all low-grndo silver-bearing lead ores, more than those requited to flux their silver, and they do this by low- eiiiig the prieo of lead, ao as to make it unprofitable to smelt lead for lead alone. This trust also aro after the Joplin (Missouri) zinc output, partly in connection with its use to desilver- isejjlead, Now, what can Brltishjcap- itnl do to show "brotner Jonathan" that liritisli push and trade is by no means deud, that business acumen is as good today as ever iu tlie Hritish Empire ,against all coiners, and thut our London silver market will stay theic, that our trade with India, China, Japan, and other silver countries will always exceed the other countries comt ined? This is what they can do. Come and invest in tills part of the liritisli Empire la.go amounts of working capital. Canada gives you preferential tan If. Open the mines up as they should bo opened with machinery. Don't pick the eyeB out of the mines, us is now done, by shipping the clean galena and leaving thousands of tons of second-grade ore on tho waste dumps. Open up the dry ore raiuos for Duxes on Springer and Lemon creeks, Kuslo, and East Kootenay. li it i 111 smelters���not custom smelters without a mine,but near the mine, to snvo transportation rates. Put up zinc furnaces to produce spelter to desilverise the lead. Manufacture the leud into marketable products on tlio spot to ship to China, Japan, India and other markets, very accessible. Then llritain can hold her own in lead and silver with all the world and free trade, It tukes money to do this. That is what this district requires, and London has It. There are big dividends to be earned by investment of large sums of money ; so that tin euteiprise is not cramped for woiking capital lo overcome dilllault contingencies. We don't want stockbrokers to come and intlate mining stoek with no working capital; but we wunt such men as those who have made a success of the Broken Hills, IIio Tinto, Mason and Barry, Thursls, Cape Copper, and such businesslike urdeitnkings, worked as a legitimate business, and not as a stock gambling scheme. Come over and help us; we have the raw material in abundance; you have the money. There is money and dividends In it for both. ���DR. ���mm * CREAM BAKING POWDER Highest Honors, World's Fair Gold Medal, Midwinter Pair Avoid linking Powders containing Ilium. Thoy lire Injurious to health heroine of this later tale,who is quite worthy of her far away grandmother, Dorothy Manners. This means, of course, that she is _ most lovable girl, although one not us deeply smitten as Stephen Brice or as idolatrous as Capt. Lige is provoked to impatience by some of her moods���moods one does not expect to find in a young woman of healthy, rational mind. Stephen is entirely natural,and a very fine fellow. We have real characters in the book--Lincoln, Grant, Slier- man, and other lesser lights. The Lincoln which the author gives us rather jars at limes. Many of the situations in which we find him, and the conversations with which we are regaled, seem not altogether worthy of the great statesman, patriot,and martyr; hut ouriously enough wc take leave of him on each separate occasion with increased respect for his character. We would not like to say that the book is as finished a piece of work us "ltiohard Carvel," but no one is in the least likely to take it up without going through to the end. Eliphalet Hopper supplies just villiany enough to give it variety, and the younger generation of readers will find in it historical matter that is both interesting and instructive. The book is illustrated, and, as we would expect from the publsher., handsomely bound. SAVES TWO FROM DEATH.

I'ine.t Lady Violinist of the World to Appear Here Next Week. The coining of Madame Camilla Urso to tho opera house next Tuesday evening mams an important epoch in Nelson's, musical hisioiy. For years this artist lias been recognized by the critics of thc world's centres as the greatest woman performer on the violin and those in Nelson wbo have heard her elsewhere are looking forward eagerly to repeating the pleasure. When a performer of Mme. Uroo's reputation appears no one can make a mistake in going to hear her and to miss this opportunity will be to miss a treat that in ull probability will not be repeated or equalled in Nelson for years. Hegarcling her playing that conservative and critical paper, Thc New Vork Tribune, says: "Her playing Is innocent of every vice, it Is rich in every merit. Ilcr perfect leposetulness begets a contl- dence in the mind cf the listener whicli frees enjoyment from every concern. Her tone is firm, her taste faultless, her style chaste as Diana. In the "Lassen Concerto" there are some stupendous technical difficulties, which, since somo of them cannot be said to contribute to the musi- cal elTect uf the piece, we fancy are contrived to display the skill ot the violinist. These Madame Urso overcame In a manner that amazed tlio knowing without discovering their existence to the unleained listener. It Is scarcely possible lo bestow too much praise on such an iiclilcveincnnt as that of last night, but rather it ia to be deplored that the words o( tlio reviewer, however appreciative snd enthusiastic, cannot make its merits understood.''

The fire, water and light committee will meet this morning at 10 o'clock, for thc purposo of discussing the proposal of the Honnii gton Falls Power & Light Company, to supply tho city with light.
