Dewet and Steyn both remained irreconcilable. They declined any terras, Dewet adding that on his part the war had become one of revenge and he intended to do all the mischief he could.

THE CROW'S NEST DEAL. the city, hut Messrs .1 affray and Lind say left for Victoria, B.C. One of the interested parties said the deal was consummated on the lines recently announced in a Toronto dispatch which were that the syndicate .transfers to Mr. Bill half a million dollars in stock and gives him control of the mines for a number of years, together with the option of sufficient stock to control in case he should desire to buy. In return for these concessions, Mr. Bill, it is reported, agrees to build new lines In each of the coal fields from tbe south and west and purchase the output of coal to 6,000 tons per day. The reason assigned for | offering Mr. Bill an interest is the Canadian Pacific, by charging exorbitant freight rates, restricted the output of the mines, and there was no profit in their operation. Under the. new arrangements the. property, at once becomes very valuable. ���'.'' *..'. is DONORS FOR STEELE. Popular Colonel of Strathcona's Given a Decoration.

The three:flrst named are the principal owners of the Orowls.Nest coalfields of British Columbia, In which Mr. J. J. Hill has recently become interested, and Mr. Lindsay is their attorney.

FDR THE SUMMER IS TO BE UNDER CON-; ; SI DERATION. A matter is likely tp he brought lie- fore the city council at an early, date relating to the question of bands and band instruments in Nelson. The only live, organization in the city at the present time is the Rocky Mountain Ranger's band,, which has been playing at the rink all winter, and which had the contract for the park concerts last summer. The members of this organization have furnished: their own instruments and music, most of them going in for tbe band for the pleasure to be derived therefrom. Within the next few weeks the matter of. reorganizing for the summer, will be under consideration, and in, this connection , it is probable that a strong effort will be made to increase, the strength of the band to, say 25, which would place the organization on an excellent basis, The ^difficulty attending this increase in strength is that of obtaining instruments for the new members,, and to solve this problem the members of the band propose to apply to the cfty for the. custody of tbe instruments purchased a year, or two.ago by popular subscription, and j, in use for a time by the smelter band, then passing to the city band and now in possession of members of the old smelter hand. The military bandsmen maintain that the city is only large enough to, support one hand, apd that the events of last year, when their organization alone survived the obstacles whictijibe,- set the path of local musical organizations, has demonstrated that they are best able to keep up a-permaqjtni;'] band. It is asserted that tlie. 'present, holders of tlw instruments are Selling them to others as though they.hajrJ a proprietory claim, instead of the. In- stiuments belonging, to the citizens I generally who put up "the money for tbeir purchase. The city council will be asked tode- clure that tha instrument!, are the property of the city audio assume.lha guardianship of the'entire outfit.) Then application will be raqde for tlje ,use of the set, proper bonds being furnished for their safe keeping. If this is done the It. M. It. band promises to turn out. an. organization which wiUbq a credit to the city. London,- March 8.���111 a speech in -the commons today by Mr.'-Broderiek upon the army reform, he said, in part: "The drill needed improving. It. was a question between tlie voluntary and compulsory systems, j He adhered to the former, under which 140.000 men had offered themselves for tho war. Compulsion would therefore: be like applying tbe spur to a willing j horse, and would be disastrous. The government could not hope to get rid of European entanglements. It could I nft shut out the possibility of having to despatch forces to defend the British possessions abroad. Mr. Brod- eriek then entered into details .Governing the proposed.' reorganization of the army.

Morrison l*'T!a'lowe1I were-awarded judgment in the P)��tter of Morrison & Caldwell ] ve.~Hydo A.TiUajortlC This arose out of the . case - of Hyde A Tltsworth vs.. Webb nnd the Athabasca mine as garnishees, Morrison A Caldwell claiming the monies Involved, on the, ground that the team of horses earning1 them was only conditionally sold to. Webb, and that one of the conditions was that they were to receive,, the earnings until the team was paid for. 'Hyde A, Tltsworth claimed that tbe , condition was only In tbe nature of a mortgage and that the monies were open to garnishee. The action was tried and aligned latit fall. His honor gave judgment In fa- vor of Morrison . A Caldwell, as WHITEWATER MINES LAY OFF MEN AND CLOSE THE CONCENTRATOR,. , If tbe governments of Hritish Columbia and Canada are going to do anything to relieve the smejter.situa-. tion in this province they have no time to lose, says the Kaslo Kootenai ian. Last week tbe Ruth was closed down completely on account of the inability to find a market for Its ore. On the first instant the Whitewater concentrator was closed, and all the men engar/ed in stoping were laid eft, leaving only a small force now doing' development, work. . S. S. Fowler, . engineer, of the Whitewater and president .of the Qanf adian raining institnte, was. at the property this week. I In conversation with The Kootenaian he said that it was, simply ,. the JaSseJIftrj sitnation which compelled his company to lay off so ni��ny men from, the Wbitewat. er. The local smelters were so stock? ed up that they couht,take po more ore and the American smelters refused to take it, so there was nothing to do but stop taking out ore,.,:,' Mr..: Fowler saw no way out of the difficulty .at present as no remedy seemed in Sight, In speaking of the application now before, the Dominion government for a bonus on pig . lead to encourage je- fining in Canada Mr. Fowler said that the government would certainly be justified in" paying such a bonus, as the benefits that would accrue would tend. to the. prosperity of the whole, country. Even if' the bonus was,.8p large that It would be unprofitablje when considered solely from the refining standpoint the good It would ido mining in general by increasing the value of ore by supplying a cheaper market and Ihe rapidity with whioh J it would build up the country, would? be ample justification for the government in paying it. He would not like to gp so far-as saying that- lead mining' in Canada would ever be on a satisfactory basis until a refinery was established .. in Canada, but its establishment would certainly put the Industry there much quicker than would., .anything, ojse, providing, of course, that general co$ ��� rlitions make smelting continue possible, There would be no trouble in finding a market for lead as the United Statps used more las* year than was mined within tbeir borders, so some of the lead mined In Canada and Mexico apd 1 smelted In the United Statfs was usedJ by American manufacturers. The United States, therefore, in addition to Emope, would be a market available to Canada. PHILIPPINE AFFAIRS.

S., which estimates that the company will during the next seven years earn bounties from the Dominion amounting to 98, - 095,000. I view of the probable devel- opment.of the iron industry m the next few years he thought it was possible that the amount earned would be doubled. Besides there were the Cramp Steel,Co, of Canada, and other iron establishments that would likely earn large amounts. It was apparent that tho Dominion would have to pay out very large sums in bounty, perhaps 825,000.000 to ��50,00O,000. While not wishing to interfere with ..any vested rights he pointed out that the promoters of the steel companies were large capitalists not in need of assistance and intimated it might be proper to take steps for the puipose of preventing further vested Interests accruing. The minister of finance said he was not disposed to give an answer that would tie tbe bands of the government. He pointed out that any vested rights that existed would have to jbe respected though he could not say how far these,rights extended. However he did not know tbat there was reason for alarm even if the bounty expeoditue was as largejisMr^ Morrison feared. Colonel Prior- suggested there should be a bounty on lead produced and refined In Canada, calling attention to a resolution passed by the associated boards of trade held at Greenwood, B.

RIDICULOUS REPORTS��� "The report* of smallpox in the Kootenays now in circulation at the coast are so exaggerated as to lead one to believe tbat tbe entire district Is rotten with the plague,"remarked a Vancouver man at tbe Phalr last night.

" These ridiculous reports are undoubtedly the result of injudicious newspaper accounts of the situation. OTTAWA DELEGATION-- Buslness men generally and particularly the wholesalers are much interested in the board of trade's suggestion that a delegation abould be sent from Nelson to Ottawa, to urge upon tbe. government tbe desirability ot subsidizing a refinery to treat tbe output of Hritish Columbia smelters. At first view it looks like a serious proposition, but as a prominent wholesaler remarked yesterday, "Tbe future of the entire country depends upon no restriction being placed on the development of it�� mineral resources, and if we are going into tbe matter at all, It is much better to go in with heart and soul, and lose no opportunity of attaining the end in view."

A NEW 1DEA- Tbe latest Bug;rstion regarding the reorganization of (he fire department Is that instead of purchasing a new team of horses tbe council slionId dispose of the present apparatus and substitute an automobile contriraoce, these horseless carriages now being constructed to climb grades up to 35 or 40 per cent A heavy bill for bay and oats would be saved in addition to which the fact that the automobiles an climb almost any grade could be turned to account by doing away with ladders running tbe whole apparatus to tbe top of a burning building. It Ib probable Mayor Fletcher and one or two aldermen will visit New York and possibly Paris to look into the matter further.

It Is becoming more and more apparent every day that the conditions under which the mining industry of this province is carried or are disastrous in their effect, and there seems grave danger that it may be strangled outright if a measure of relief is not speedily forthcoming. The estimate of the situation contained in the foregoing sentence is not put foi ward by those igboiant of mining and the conditions surrounding tlie industry, but by men wbo, all will admit, are competent to speak with authority, and who would be the last to give utterance to pessimistic views if the situation did not demand it. In an interview with The Miner, published yesterday morning, Mr. J, C. Drewry. manager of the Canadian Gold Fields syndicate, makes the statement that his company would not mine ore any further until conditions are altered, so that they can operate at a profit. Be hints that if the desired relief is not forthcoming a next step will be to close down tbe mines as tight as a drum and not do another hand's turn until the situation changes. We re- pectfully submit that this is an alarming condition of affairs and that the government should give immediate consideration to the necessity of taking some action whereby the incubus which now rests upon the industry may be removed. That Mr. Drewry is not alonp in his fears for tbe future of the industry is shown by tne statements made by Mr. J. Douglas Walker, K. C.,*and Mr. A. O. Kirby, two representatives of a group of London, Eng., capitalists wbo recently came out prepared to Invest largely in Lar- deau mining properties. Both gentlemen were recently interviewed by the Revelstoke Herald. , Mr, Kirby said.| that there undoubtedly existed some alarm at the amount and Incidence of the legislation imposed by the provincial government on the mining industry. "It seems," said Mr.Walker, "that the time has come when the taxation on mining should be revised. Miners, in common with traders, arc called upon to pay*!in annual license fee, and in regard to this there is pet- haps no ground for complaint, except that in the mining states to tho south and in Ontario and Quebec no such fee is imposed. lie next has to pay for iecording a claim a foe of 82.Id and for recording his outlay, which has been for the ultimate benefit of the state, he has to pay a fee of ?:.'. .10 each year for five years. After doing his Ave years work and pnying the fecB I have mentioned it costs him several hundred dollars to secure a crown grunt. All this must be expended before there is any certainty of a return for the money and time expended, and it is fair to assume that perhaps only one claim out of forty or fifty ever proves marketable. The owner then begins to develop his mine. It he uses a water power there is an annual fee for that. For all the timber he uses fiom his claim the government charges him 50 cents per cord. All this, it must be remember ed, is in addition to the heavy customs tax the miner, in common with all tlie rest of tbe population, has to pay on tools, clothing and food; and the heavy expense he is put to to get all these things to the scene of his labors, which usually lies in a more or less inaccessible place and thousands of miles from the manufacturing centres. So much for initial expenses in the shape of taxes and transportation charges and so oil. I may also say incidentally, as additional evidence of the exceptional difficulties and expenses the miner has to face, that the wages he pays are higher and the hours of work shorter, limited as tbe latter are by statute to eight hours per day, than In almost any other Industry. Besides, you must remember, ah this time he Is helping to bring into existence tome little town near his property, thus creating -jot' he country additional means of taxation and revunue. The last' s^-yaw to the camel's load is in tbe Bhj>pc of a royalty of two per cent, on the gross profits realised on the ore without making any allowance for the expenses of mining. There is no such tax on the output of any other industry. There is do such tax on ore in the United States, nor as far as we know in any civilized country. Then there Ib a land tux of 2.1c. per acre on every crown granted claim. The government exact an income tax which is in addition to all the other^taxes." Mr. Kirby here intervened and expressed the opinion that once this state of affairs was brought prominently to the attention of the lcglsU' ture surely an equitable ���~j ��. of the burdens of taxation would be made. Nothing appeared to him aB more short sighted and impolitic tban to unfairly tax the industry upon which the future ot British Columbia depended, especially as kindred en terprises across the border were encouraged in every possible way, Mr. Kirby added: "There are millions of money in England awaiting investment and now that there is every probability of a large amouDt of it being diverted to B. C. it would seem to an outside observer that the legislators of the province cannot too carefully consider the impolicy of burdening the mining indnstry and alarming investors." UNION LABOR.

YOU NEED One of These Great Britain's cup of ill-luck in her South African operations is filled to overllowing. No sooecr is the end of the dreadful war in sight than the skinny hand of Hague is outstretched to still further haiass the unfortunate colonials. Eloquent testimony to the ability and worth of Lord l'auncefote, Hritish ambassador to the United States, Is furnished in the announcement that the government has determined to allow him to continue in ollice for another term. ���A very good piece of news for Nel son is furnished in the announcement thut the Hall Mines smeller has blown in another furnace, thus doubling its capacity. It means the employment of a large number of e.xtia bands and consequently, the expenditure of more money in the community. The proposal in the amendments to the Alien Labor bill, Introduced in the house on Thursday by Sir Wilfrid Laurier, to make the penalty for violation of the act a fine of not more than 81,000 and not less than $50 seems a very sensible one, and it will no doubt' muku the uct more work able. Vancouver wants the mint and It wants it mighty badly, so it hus mis ed $500 and sent a deputation to Ot town to tie a string to it. It is'a ten- to-one bet that about tlie best they'lj get is Maxwell and a mint-julep. Still Vancouver Is to be commended for the energy she is displaying in the matter. "Robs" has taken occasion to say in public that Mr. Thomas Atkins,besides being "a first-class fighting man, knows how to behave himself like a gentleman when off duty���referring particularly to the conduct of the Hritish soldiers in South Africa. A statement of that sort makes very pleasant reading. TO t'UKav A C4)U�� IN OIVK MI Take Lnmtlvn Bromo Quinine Tablets. All druggists refund tho money If It fails tooure. 2.V. K. W.

A young lady in California had a remarkable experience with coffee drinking. The details are most interesting to anyone who even suspects that coffee is damaging to'tlie health. She says, "I drank Coffee from a cihld, and a few years ago my health began to break down everything I ate or dralik distressed me, and I settled into a chronic form of dyspepsia accompanied with a headache every morning, and was very irritable most of the time. I could not sleep with out taking a sleeping draught. While at first the pains in my stomach were slight, they kept growing worse, until finally the most wholesome food nnd drink would clause Intense agony, and a few minutes after eating 1 would have to throw everything up. My doctor had been telling me for some time that coffee was hurting me but I did not believe it was true, for I saw many people drink coffee and thought I could. Of course, in this condition I could not sustain my flesh and strength, and I lost in weight from 85 pounds down to DO pounds,and became a perfect skeleton, starving to death in a land of plenty. 1 was confined to my bed and dying by inches. The doctor told me there was no chance of my ever getting well us my stomach was worn out. They had begun to wonder how many "more days I wonld live. 'One day a lady friend called and told how wonderfully she had been helped out of 'stomach trouble and headaches by leaving off coffee and using Postum Food Coffee and Orape-Nuts Food. She went to work and made me a nice cup of Postum and prepared a lit tie llrope-Nuts. I dreaded the torture of taking anything into my stomach, but she coaxed me to take a spoonful of Postnm and of GrapcNuts. To my great surprise, I found that I did not have any path \b Hpeillc of in my stomach, and the food actually stayed down. Everyone was Completely mystified In a little time afterward drank three spoonfuls of the Postum and took a little more of the Urape-Nuts. and that stayed down and seemed to sooth my nerves and give me a restful feeling. Soon after the doctor came in and my nurse told htm that, for the first time In three weeks, food had stayed ou the stomach. He could hardly be lleve her as he thought death was very near. Then he wanted to know what I bad been eating and drinking. He took home some of the (Impc-Nuts and Postum. The next day he said there was no mystery about it, as he had analyzed the samples and said he hud found a pro-digested food,and one that would not hurt the stomach, and the Postum was the most natural drink he had ever seen. He-said thut it did not excite the nerves as did coffee, and that It was nourishing ami built up the system Instead of tearing it down. Ilo had my nurse give me more of the Postnm and Crape* Nuts and said there 'was one chance in ten that my system might be built up and my life saved. In less than a week's time I could drink half si cup of Pohtntn at once, and how it did quiet my nerves and make me feel like I Was getting some strength. Six days after beginning Postum I went to sleep the first time in two months with out tubing a sleeping draught. So step by step I kept on improving. The headaches disappeared. My stomach become stronger raeh day and I gained steadily In weight. At the end of four months I felt like a new person, and had gained fifty pounds in weight, could sleep well,eat plain food, and, all in all, feel well and strong again. My heaii Is so clear that I can think better than I ever could. I know, und all of our friends know, that there Is not the slightest doubt but flint 1 would be In my grave today but for Postum Food Coffee ond Grape-Nuts.
