A. H. Blumenauer returned from the Jeanette on Wilson creek yesterday, and relates a story of the experience of his partv of ten in the last few days that would keep many from seeking the hidden wealth in the ground. The hard luck commenced when they were packing in. Five mules got in the creek, two packs were lost, and one mule was killed. The provisions were scattered from the foot of the mountain to the camp, and in the river. Another nack train got up to the camp all right, a few days later, toward evening, and were pitching camp and getting supper when a forest fire drove them out, and they just had time to bury the outfit and grab a handful of food, and get down the mountain. All ni^ht the wind was blowing a gale, driving the fire and blowing down trees all around them and they were In the brush scrambling behind logs and trying to find a ���safe place. The fire was started by two careless prospectors while cooking dinner, but when they saw what they had done they lost no time in getting out of sight. The camp cook also had an experience of his own. The day before the fire he had been left alone in camp, and while getting dinner saw a big cinnamon bear making for him. He started up die trail for the boys, and didn't " The next day after the lire, had chased them down the hill again, the cook concluded he had had enough, and left word to **just tell Bloom that you saw me/' and left for Sandon.

Is there a man who i�� foolish enough to put rtix*)*) in a mete pro-.pe.-t/ he asked. Bat instead of 1 cent many stock*, have been sold for from 10 to Hi cents Ro*~dand, as a rule, has not as yet proven to be a dividend payer, and naturally herstottks have deereased. But have the Slocan stock-, depreciated? Have they sold for lens on the Rossland or Spokane exchange*, than they ever did? They have aot, for the values are there. If the Rossland companies have to suspend work, it is, perhaps, tha fault of the promoters or brokers themselves. They fail boraitse they hav�� uo values.

The Monitor is closed on account of litigation. A road is to be bnilt from the Alamo switch-back to the Corinth. The Winnipeg parties having a liond on the R. W. T. have started work. A bond for ��15,000 with 200 feet of work has been given on the Montreal group. A pleasant social dance was given at the Miner's Exchange last week and another one is billed for Saturday, Mav 29. The Roulette group on the North Fork started work this week with six men. The claim is bonded by Capt. Moore and John Vallance. People are coming into Three Forks everv day. There is not an empty residence in town, and several new businees houses have 1-een opened. Andy Fletcher and Archie Me- Couvrie have been laid up at the Three Forks hotel, under the charge of Dr. Edwards, the former with erysipelas and the latter with a bad foot. Both will soon be out. John Potter this week commeneed work on the Alps and Altui-as. on the Dolly Varden lead, on the west fork ofthe North Fork of Carpenter ereek with three shifts. It is under lxaid to Vancouver parties. Faultman and Wise have secured a working option from If. 11. Pitt**, Win. Stubbs and .foseph B.

A new tunnel will be started soon from about 100 feet above.'the concentrator, to run through the mountain, fully three miles in length. This will cost from 5*150,000 to ��200,000. LBvrs Park* A Pretty Place Between Sandon and Cody for Outdoor Amusements. Sandon has felt the need of nothing so much as a place where people could get out and enjoy themselves in summer, and it will be a surprise to Incet people to learn that there is such a place within easy reach, which require* but little expense to make it available for anything from a little private picnic to a ball game or a horse race. It is situated about a quarter of a mile from Cody on the north side of the creek, and is called Levi's Park, from Mr. Levi, who has a hotel there, and has gleaned grounds for hall and lacrosse. If the government road was changed to run on the north side of the creek from the railroad bridge it would pass the grounds. This seems a much better route than the one now taken. There would be an easy grade onto the flat, and from there would be a level stretch for half a mile. As it is now, the road is impassible much of the winter from ice on the steep grade and then by snow from the Noble Five slide. * A short bridge across the gulch which the slide comes down in, would avoid this. A little expense on tin* grounds would make it good for baseball, lacrosse and tennis, and the road would make a splendid race track. There are good grounds for a gun club meeting. And Mr. Levi says he intends building a swimming tank, dancing platform and swings. All lovers of outdoor life should endeavor to have the government change the road to allow of these grounds being utilized. Drowned at New Denver. Cody Concentrates. The Wisconsin, Nellie B. and Kootenain, near Cod)', started work this week. Stewart A McCaskell have started work on the Perth, adjoining the Constant. J. M. Winters and wife had a new arrival last Monday morning a daughter. Mother *and child are doing well. The Antoine, Surprise and Ruby Silver, in Surprise basin, have had to stop work for two or three weeks, on account of water. A man name*I Campbell was drowned in the ereek near New Denver last Tuesday. He and a companion walked toSilverton looking for work, but did not find it. In going to Silverton thev had ���*coon- ed" the log across the creek, but when returning two men ahead walked the log, and told them it was an easy matter. When over the stream'the vibration threw* Campbell off, but he still had hold of the log. His companion came to his assistance, but Campbell told him to take his hat and ne would get out. lit* made a great effort, but the current broke his hold, and he was seen but once as he went over a rapid. The body went into the lake, and will probably never lie found. He had been working on the new wharf at New Denver. DR. 6.

The mining fever Is so contagious and spreading to soch an extent that a few words �� warning at tbe present titage are not Inappropriate. It would indeed be no easy task to meet In British Oolumbis a man of intelligence who Is not Interested in mining in ttomeof Iis multifsroosforms: either he owns a genuine mine, or thinks he does; he Is a partner in a mine or a stockholder in a mining company, or lie to concerned in some development ateooistlon. Should he not come under any ol these beads then he is Mire to be a prospector -a searcher tor land containing valuable minerals with a view to acquiring the land and Its precious metals cither* for himself or some other besides himself or -ossiblv for a syndicate. The number of iwnaia-eturs is legion, and still s very limited number arequali- tieti for toe task Ihey have undertaken. Logging camp-tare actually being deserted oy '���miners" tor the Ittftsibily more remunerative oceupa tion of staking out 52 acres Crown land, swearing that mineral exists, and selling the claim to the unwary and inexperienced ''tenderfoot'' looking out for something very cheap, mulling from $10 to $100 with the f Horn hope of incorr����rating a small *vmpsny capitalisation of $1,000,00) and netting to himself untold wealth The fallacy of protecting the poor man in his mineral discoveries bv * I low ing btm, at the cost ot $2.fi0, to take up and hold 52 seres is at present tlie corse ofthe mining Industry. The moment that there Is any preteuce of a discovery of miners! in a new district then the whole country for miles and miles around Is staked out with trot sny sensible reason, and yet all these claims are supposed to be carry - ink' mineral-bearing bodies. In many instances men with not $10 of capital Md no less than 20, and even 30 claims or in all over 1,000 seres, it being impoaaible for them to do their aaMWMnent work, and tbey are locking op the country against bona fide mining institutions. This prostitution however, of a areat mining industry Is legalised by sn Intelligent govern ment To-day men are Making off indiscriminately claims all over the eountry, and it Is really pitiful in *-me cases when new chum prospect- on* carefully produce from a secret it-cess of their apparel a piece of granite, slate, diorite, or anything but thc ledge matter, and seriously inform you that they have the biggest thing oo earth,' but are willing to bond the claim for $50,000 provid ing 10% be paid down, the said lode ���granite- being 40feet in width snd traceable right through the property. Such conduct is not promotive of any irood or beniflcial result* Many a hundred claims will be and have bean located and never prapeoted, nnd under these conditions never will be, while a systematic exploring party under a good head could prospect and probably discover a valuable lesd which would bring wealth to the country and reward the energy <��fi he finders, who would only stake off that which might in the future be come valuable. Hut no encouragement is offered explorers or prospectors, tor the roomful a "flnd" to made all adjoining l��nds are staked for speculative pur* l-oses, snd should the speculation fall through the claim remains In the h-asession ofthe uninitiated, Incom latent and Impecunious part v. This j-ste of affairs Is truly deplorable. If WO were nm**sitrv to record n claim, then there would be fewer "wild cats." As the fine weather now approaches thousands upon thousand, of claims will be staked and recorded monthly. It is against this kind of business we offer a strong protest, and we advise our readers who have intentions of becoming interested in undeveloped claims to carefully examine the property under offer, and Tn their report let the price be bas- The prevailing idea tbat to become a prospector is the easiest matter in the world Is altogether devoid of corroboration. Clerks, countermen, and others similarlv situated, are totally unfit for the hardships snd privations endured by tbe genuine prospector, and oolv in the course ot many months, and by bard earned experience, can tbey hope to understand the first rudiments of tbe profession, and even then their statements as finds can only be received by intellt- to gent men with the utmost'eaution.

For several years past English capital has gone largely into tbe mining districts of South Africa and Western Australia. It is generally believed, however, that there will soon be a great change in the trend of invest ment in mining properties, which will result advantageously to tbe state of Washington. The British specula tors and promoters are bound to find new fields, and as a result, their representatives are to be seen in far greater numbers than ever before in the western part of the North Araeri can continent In the opinion ot the Scientific Press this will luring in a great deal of capital to the Western states, Mexico and British Columbia, and the development of many large properties that are now undeveloped. But one trouble will come trom it all. The English promoter will indulge in his old habit of over capitalization and many a district in the West will receive a blsck eye in the London market. British Columbia Is already suffering from this to a certain extent, and the good people there lately formed a miners' protective association in tbe West Kootenay country, whose purpose is to protect the investing public and give out such information as will be of value to prsspective purchasers. It is stated that numerous companies have be*.n organized and the stock sold largely on account of the proximity of the prospect to some well-known property. To such an extent has this been carried on that many Eastern people are beginning to lose confidence in the mines of the Trail Creek and other parts of British Columbia. Such an organisation can be the mean** of doing an immense amount of good by exposing any wild eat scheme which may appear in public. Our temperance friends in the East evidently do not believe in hiding their light under a bushel. They are rejoicing new in the routing of the "Gin Duke," the rumor ofthe intention to appoint him Governor-General having been promptly denied. Neither that nor any other side issue, bow. ever, causes them to forget the work ol preparing tor the plebiscite campaign. Lately, they have been working up facts and .figures about Maine, and some of the latter are very telling, indeed, and worthy the attention ot statesmen everywhere, altogether aside from the moral aspect of prohibition. Maine, as every one knows, Is a prohibition State, and has been so for a long time. Ohio, on the other hand, is under the old style of license, with breweries, distilleries, and saloons galore. Well, the sav* Ings bank returns in Ohio show $9.42 per head ot the population; while the same returns in Maine show $8U.77 per head. In these days, when it is so generally conceded that "cash is king," the fact that the prohibition State beats the license State in the proportion of eight .to one in the sav. Ings of the people, is something to think over. ^^^^^^ Some people seem to have an idea that tbe Provinces of Canada are more or less subject or subordinate to the Dominion Government. It seems a good time just now to enligeten them. The British North America Act, which constituted the Dominion, makes the Province quite independent. In such a confederated country as ours, there are certain matters which concern not one Province only, but two or more of them. The postal service, for example. Again, there are other matters which are exclusively the concern of the Province. The borrowing ot money on the sole credit of the Province, for example. Now the B N. A. Act puts the general or federal matters onder the control of the Dominion; and it-equally puts the local or Provincial matters under the control of the Province. So long as the Province confines itself to those matters thus put under Its control, it is absolute. The Dominion hss no more right to interfere than has the Czar of Russia. THE PUOBMA!* SOLO There wss concluded in Nelson last week one of the most Important mining deals ofthe season. It was the purchase of the well known Poor- man mine, in the Nelson district, by a syndicate headed by Hector McRae and J. Fred Ritchie, of Rossland, for $100, ooa The Poorman is ths principal free milling gold pjoperty of West Kootenay. It has yielded $100,000 al. ready and has been a regular producer for several years It was owned by A. L. Davenport and his brother in law, Robert Ewart. It is equipped with a 10-stamp mill, a compressor, hoist and power drills, all operated by water power. The Poorman is but one ofa group of six claims included in the purchase. The other claims are the White, Hardup, Hardscrabhle, Electrlcion, and Mventer. The work on the Poorman consists of about 1,000 feet of tunnels, shafts and drifts. A crosscut Is now being run to tap the vein a depth of 320 feet This tunnel is now in 140 feet, and will have to be run 160 feet further to tap the ledge. The vein is well defined and persistent, and carries an average of $14 in gold. The ore is perfectly adapted to milling, and 85 per cent of the gold is saved on the plates. The White is tbe only other claim In the group which has been worked to any extent. About 500 tons of ore have been taken from the claim and the average value is about $20 per ton, A company is to be organized under the provincial act oflBdf to take o ver tbe entire property. The trustees of the new company will be Hector McRae, J. Fred Ritchie, J. Fred Hume, M. P. P., A. L. Davenport and Robert Ewart. Kootenay Mercantile Tailoring Co.

References given. THE PAVSTREAK. THK MINING (BASF. Everybody in British Columbia appears to ba infected with tbe mining fever, all sorts and conditions of men seem to have caught It. Clergymen and dissenting ministers have resigned their sacred office to engage in mining business, and one of the latter lately a distinguished light in the Weslayn pulpit bids fair to be equally famous as a mining broker. There is hardly a single storekeeper who does not own at least oae claim, and the amount of style which children put on because their lather has a gold mine, is amusing to those who know the difference between a claim and a mine. But hare as Dr. Watts says: -Every prospect ptea***.*" A local preacher lately got carried away in tbe pulpit, and produced an entirely original effect, by giving the up to date version ot the text���"But I say unto you that Sokauon in all his glory was not assayed like one of these." There is not a portion of the province which is devoid of mineral and every day produces new claims and new development companies. Yet it is equally true that there are already discovered claims which when developed will attract the capital of the world, and companies with directors and experts whose reputation is such as to inspire confidence hi finan cial circles both of Europe and Amer ican. HEAVY BALKS OT OBE. has been travelled over 40 years, or ever since the placer excitement on Wild Horse creek, above Fort Sledc, in the early 60*8. Millions of dollars in gold were taken outot the Wild Horse placers, and thousands ot men travelled over the trail between what is now Bonner's Ferrv snd the Wild Horse digging. The trail has been used ever since the days of its early construction, and is in an excellent condition, as an old, well btaten trail is sure to be. There are no steep mountains to climb, and their is no lack ot feed and water along the trail for stock. Duluth, Minn..���The Minnesota Iron Company has sold to the Illinois Steel company all tbe Nesaba ore the latter can use this year. It may a- mount to nearly a million tona snd will probably come almost entirely from the Fayal, Canton and Auburn mines. This fas very large deal, involving frott$��00a 000 to $2,5001 000 according to tbe amount of ore taker, and is interesting in view of tbe fact that all of the Mesaba ore going to the Illinois company's great rival, Csrnegie, cornea from tbe Minnesota's great rival, Rockefeller. The Oliver mine is now shipping to Duluth about 4000 tons of ore daily for the Carnegie company. As soon as boats begin ranniug in numbers this amount will be increased, and the Mountain Iron will also begin heavy shipments. Tne two mines will probably average about 12,000 tons a day all season. Rockefellers company will not only have his nineteen 4,500-ton ships in the ore trade to his docks hare this -year, but four more almost as big. These, with the other carriers to load at the same docks, will give a vary busy season. Several of his boats will take their first cargoes next week. to roarr stkelb The rwh of miners and prapectors this year to the Fort Steele eountry will almost amount to a stampede, and Bonner's Ferry will be one of the principal outfitting points. Although the season has hardly opened, parties are arriving there almost daily and leaving for Fort Steele over the old Wild Horse trail, which is easily 60 miles the shortest route into tha camp. Realizing tha Importance of secur- iag a legitimate pn*portion of this year's travel lathe East Kootanay, the business nan of Rosa-art Ferry have gone to tha expense of advertising the Bonner' Ferry route.
