IIS A ���If Nelson's Bright Committee. The boys of the Sandon Fire Dep't have for some time entertained an ambition to compete in the races at Nelson. With this idea they have been awaiting an invitation from that city, together with a program and rales and regulations. On Tuesday the secretary of the Sandon Fire Dep't received a letter from the chief of the Nelson brigade, intimating that the races would be brought off on Friday. In order to compete, Sandon would have to com. plete ail arrangements and leave for Nelson within 48 hours of the receipt of the invitation. The Sandon Brass Band has been informed that its services could not be arranged for, as the committee found the $3,500 celebration fund insufficient to go round. In the case of the Nelson celebration Sandon appears to be, like the driver on the hearse- -not in it. What a change from the 24th of May! will act in the Lake of the Woods district, and Mr. J. F.

Better Mining Laics in Ontario. The Ontario Cabinet has passed a set of new mining regulations in accordance with an Act passed at the recent session of the legislature. These regulations, which were signed by the Lieutenant-Governor some three weeks ago, are now being issued to the public by Mr. Archibald Blue, of the Bureau of Mines. They are a radical departure from the previous regulations, and are designed to encourage the exploration of lands in the more distant sections of the province. Prospectors arc permitted to tike out licenses at a cost of $10 per annum, which authorize the licensee to explore for minerals any Crown lands in the unsurveyed territory of the province outside of a mining division, which have not been withdrawn from sale, location, or exploration or the minerals and mining rights of which have not been reserved to the Crown, and wnich are shown to the satisfaction ot the Commissioner ot Crown Lands to have no value for pine timber and not to be in the immediate vicinity of such lands. The licensee is also entitled to stake out two claims of 40 acres each, and may hold them for two years subject to working conditions ($3 work per acre during the first year and k~ during the second), without being obliged to have them surveyed and without paying any portion of the purchase money to the government. This practically means that the prospector will have a ctnnce to prove his claim without sinking his money in it. Minute administrative rules are provided covering the gen eral purposes of the Act. For the administration of these rules the government will appoint three local agents in tbe Lake of the Woods, Thunder Bay, and Sudbury districts, respectively, who will have power to summairly dispose of all disputes. The balance of unsurveyed territories in Ontario will be administered by the department in Toronto. The government has already selected two of these administrators. Mr. Linoel Charlsworth, Preliminary steps were taken in Montreal last week for the establishment of what is expected to be one of the biggest iron and steel works in the world. A company which will be known as the Nova Scotia Iron A Steel Company, with a capital of 120,000,000, has been formed tor the object of establishing iron and steel works at Sydney, C. B. Amongst those who are interested in the company are H. M. Whitney of Boston, president of the Dominion Coal Companv, Lord Strathcona and Mout Royal, Sir William Van Horne, R. B. Angus, Hugh McLennan, C. R. Hosmer, Jas. Ross, Abner Kingman, all of Montreal; Senator George A. Cox, of Toronto; T. E. Kenny, of Halifax; Senator Mc- Keen, of Nova Scotia; and B. K. Pierson. The Dominion Coal Company is largely interested in the new project inasmuch as the coal supply which the new company will use in the production of iron and steel will be obtained from them, and this will amount to many hundreds of thousands of tons a year. Tbe company will obtain the iron ore from >ew- toundland, which, it is claimed, is easily accessible from Sydnev. It is stated that Syduey for the borne of such a mammoth works as this will be an ideal spot, and that, with Newfoundland iron at their doors as it were, with a harbor at Louisburgt which is open all the year round, with coal on the spot, and, lastly, within easy and convenient distance of all the large world's centres, their position will be unexcelled. It is estimated that works the size of the one which it is proposed to erect will employ some four or five thousand people. At the recent annual meeting of the Dominion Coal Company, Mr. Whitney, the president of tbe company, stated that this iron and steel companv proposed giving the Dominion Coal Company a contract for from 1,000,000 to 1,500,000 tons of coal per annum. Hon? the Zinc Mine Owners With the Smelter Men. deal Joplin, Mo., June 24.���As a result of the edict issued by the Missouri Kansas Zinc Miners' Association about 90 per cent of the mines have stopped work. This is the Zinc Miners Association method of forcing the smelters to terms. The smelters have refused to pay schedule prices for thi past two weeks. The miners' associ ation arranged to export 54 tons of high grade zinc ore as soon as it can be sacked. This will remove the surplus of sold ore, and with a two week's shut-down the miners think they can bring the smelters to time. Todav tbe smelters advanced the price of ore to schedule rates, $43 per ton for GO per cent ore in the bin. Considerable ore was bought at that price this evening. E. R.

A number of men are employed doing surface work, besides the force employed in the No. 8 tunnel. A ledge similar in character to that on the Neglected has been uncovered on the Sarah Jane, an adjoining claim situated to the southeast. A tunnel will be driven on it at once. The Chapleau, near Slocan City hae been bonded to J. M. Williams, from Anstralia. The amount is 980,000, and the payments extend over 10 months? with a guarantee that 14,000 worth of work will be done. On the Bank of England claim a clean galena pay chute has been struck in the tunnel Wing driven on the lead. More men are to be put on at once.

Highly encouraging reports come from the Noonday and Queen Fraction. On the former another strike was made during the week that exceeds all pre vious showings. A chute of clean ore from six to eight inches in thickness was encountered, and the force of workmen has been increased to 25.

A certain church in a certain town was sadly in need ot repairs, and a meeting was held to raise funds for that purpose. Tho minister having said that 1000 would be required, a very wealth and equally stingy member of the congregation* arose and said he would give $1. Just as he sat down, however, a lump of plaster fell from the ceiling aud hit him on the head, whereupon he rose up hastily and called out that he had made a mistake; he would give NO. This was too much for an enthusiast present, who, forgetful of everything, called out fervently: ,"Oh, Lord, hit him again!" MUStUM CrRANK5. 1_ Pwpto Who Want to Xttspas* at Sflfi Valuable Bellas.

The law against it is still in force, bat like some other laws in the Sloean it is almost dead. Fifty years ago no respectable newspaper would publish the account of a prize fight Fifty yean ago football waa only played by hoodlums, and waa not considered a fit sport tor gentlemen. A revolution haa taken place since then, and millions of people have acquired a mania for the two sports which oar respectable ancestors considered beneath their dignity to notice. Some eastern people think that the Laorier government should be defeated because they do not enact prohibition. We are afraid that the attitude of Quebec upon the question is too powerful to allow each an act to be passed. Boozerino is a power in Canada and will never be wiped oat except by education. A law like this might work in Manitoba bat in Quebec and British Colombia the present generation love alcohol too well to take kindly to prohibition. Many people talk harshly about Joe Martin because he created a sensation in Rossland last week. Joe was perfectly right When a noted man like him gets up to speak at a banquet he should be given plenty of time. Joe started in to review the political situation since 1776, and if the audience was not equal to the occasion they should have taken a snooze, or more booze, until Joseph was through with hia oration. To interrupt him until he lost hia temper and then slap his face seems incompatible with the latest and moat improved methods of modern social intercourse. Thia la the way school boys act Joe should not have called the gentlemen hoboes, even if he waa hot. Such words sometimes harrow up the past when it is beat to leave it untouched. In the fature when Joe wants to make a long speech he should come to the Slocan. If we do not like hia style we will all go out to see a man, even if we leave $10 plates behind. In the Slocan we never elap a guest's ffcee. We might kill one occasionally, bat that la all. ���The Ledge. In Berious Trouble.

It may also be stated in a general way that iu ��ummer the thermometer sometime* rise* to 90 deg. in the shade, with cool nights, whilst in winter the mur- cury may often be seen in the neighborhood of zero, and occasionally 20 deg. below. Before the, advent of the prospector the Slocan was thickly covered with firs and pine*, except on the higher mountain tops Since then large areas have been partly or wholly burned, but many of the tree' within thoseareas, although killed by fire, still stand, and are quite good for mining purposes. The firs are more useful to the miner than the pine. The mine* are connected with one or other of the railway systems serving the district by cither rawhide trails, wagon roads, aerial or other tramways. Uawinding is extensively practiced in the Slocan, the conditions being highly favorable for it, the steep mountain side* and the thick mantle of snow- by which the ground Is covered throughout the long winter making it possible to form a trail for use in this way at a cost little exceeding that necessary to remove tbe underbrush and tbe few large tree* that cannot be avoided along tbe selected route. In rawhiding, the ore is first sacked, each sack containing 100 to 150 pounds of ore according to the tenor reached in dress ing, then wrapped in raw cowhide* ���fifteen sacks being an ordinary load- ami drawn by horse* over tbe snow A horse take* only one hide at a time, but one driver may be in charge of any number of horse* np to four, the imm bar depending upon the character of the trail. Thi* system can only be fol lowed in winter when a good covering of snow is on the ground. In some cases wagon roads are built to the mines Then the haulage is done by sleuths in winter and by wagons in summer, the load (depending mainly upoh thegradei ranging from four o The longest wagon road yet made it about eight miles, the longest tramway about one and a-quarter miles. Most of the deposits hitherto worked are at considerable altitudes, for the simple reason that the rocks are more exposed there than at lower levels, and consequently the prospector has been more successful, Nearly all the deposits known in the Slocan, and certainly those of greatest importance commercially, have the form of veins, often called, here and elsewhere, "fissure veins" or "true veins," but a few are bed-like in form- that is, occur along the bed-planes of the strata. We know that veins have often a tendency to close together when the walls are unsupported. Whether the soft altered ore which now tills the upper part of this vein can, under all circumstances, give the necessary support is not evident, for the ore may eventually, by slow degrees, be either forced out at the surface or removed by meteoric or other denuding agents. The latter is, perhaps, the more probable. In either case the effect would be to produce a narrowing of the vein upward*. It is a matter worthy of consideration whether we have not here a suggestion that will help us to explain a very curious fact, sometimes observed iu the Slocan lead veins and in other vein* in B C. and elsewhere. It is not an uncommon observation that a vein, which on the surface shows only iron stains and quarts, may, after a few feet of driving, begin to produce galena and other metallic minerals, small at first, but gradually increasing. The Alamo vein will illustrate this point That vein crosses a "hog's back," and in stoping above tbe topmost tunnel the ore was found to nip out entirely some distance short of the surface, and in a line which, although not parallel to tbe surface, had also the form of a bogs- back. In view of the facts just recorded, it doe* not seem improbable that the now barren part of the Alamo vein, adjoining the surface, may have been originally ore-bearing, that the galena was altered and softened as it uow is at the Monitor, that the softened ore was removed in the ordinary process of denudation, and that the walls gradually closed together as the intervening support was removed.

Close to the riverside in Montreal is the old church of Notre Dame de Bonse- coura (Our Lady of Good Help), founded by Sister Marguerite Bourgois in 1657, and here arrangements have been made for a certain number of masses in favor of the safety of vessels piloted by members of the association. In addition two large lamps have been presented to the church by the pilots, and they are to be hung in front of the altar and kept burning throughout the season of navigation. In some of the parishes of the counties of Rouville and Vandrenlt, also in this province, the orchards have been attacked by myriads of caterpillais, which threaten their destruction, despite all the ordinary methods of fighting them. Miraculous interposition is in this case, too, the remedy proposed, and solemn masses with processions around the infected districts have been duly arranged for. _____________ When t_�� World BuU Through. 11 spring���when the snow is melting���tie chum* part of them are then only fit for ������runners" and part for wheel* As tbe melting snow disapm'ars at the foot of the hills runners are impossible, and wheels cannot 00 used until the snow has gone entirely from the higher ends of the roads The usual time that elapses alter the ground is bare in the lower valleys until the snow disappears at an altitude of about tUU) feet is four or five weeks, and during this time haulage by this system has to be suspended to the higher mines. Some of the mines sre provided with rail, others with rope tramways-in all cases self-acting. Both these forms of tramway, If properly arranged, are capable of continuous working throughout the vear, and are therefore superior to either rawhiding. wagon or sleigh haulage, where the output is large enough to justify the extra making them. cost of and also to veins carrying other minerals, such as copper orej. it is, therefore, of some interest to the prospector; when rightly understood it may lead to the discovery of ore bodies in places where the surface indications are not very encouraging Croat U Faith. For some time past the channel of the St. Lawrence between Quebec and Montreal has been the scene of many accidents to vessels. In some cases the casualties were due to carelessness on the part of pilots. Others were caused by accident, such as the breaking of the steering gear, or by error, as in the case of two large vessels meeting in a narrow and dangerous part of the channel. Some were undoubtedly due to the shallowness of the water in parts of the channel and some to its changeable character. La Bonne Ste.

A VANCOUVER FLOOD STORY. Carson and Miss Cranston appealed to him to marry them at once, and he went to the cabin to put on a change of clothing proffered him by Captain Newman. While he was thus engaged the boat stopped at Rios Landing. Here a coffin���a plain pine box���was carried on board. In it, said the gossips, was the body of a young man who had been drowned now sent wandering in search of a Christian burial. Maud was already over-wrought from her many adventures, and brood- iug over the strange words of her rejected sweetheart. When the coffin was propped on deck���for there was no other place for it���she became more agitated than ever and more anxious to have the ceremony performed at once. But when the minister came out of the cabin and saw the coffin he said that a wedding would be out of place in such close quarters with death. Only because tlnre were fears for the girls self-command did he prepare to fulfil his word. A look of relief crept into Maud's face as the ceremony went on But before it had reached the decisive stage two dogs chained near the coffin fell to fighting and overturned the two kegs on which it rested. As it tumbled to the deck the lid flew off and out rolled the body, almost at the feet of the half-married pair. It was James Carter, his eyes wide open, and his hair still damp upon his forehead.

Carson was rich and unromantic, while James Carter was poor, but in all respects a stripling to engage a maidens fancy. There were other considerations, and Maud chose the rich suitor. "You shall not marry him," said Carter to her, when he heard that the date was fixed. Floods came. The river broke from its banks. The parson was exiled on his ranch. Such of the wedding guests as had been able to reach the bride's home lamented with her over the disappointment. And James Carter, who was just starting on a lonely trip down the river, greatly changed in a few weeks, said:��� "It's an ill omen. They will never marry." Perhaps it was because she heard of this gloomy prognostication that Maud decided that she and her affianced would reach the parson, since he could not reach them. A day or two later they embarked on the steamer Kokanee, which would pass the minister's place on its way to Bonner's Ferry. He was sighted clinging to the roof of his house, which wa* submerged to the eaves. A boat from the steamer was rowed through the swirling water that covered his crops, and he was rescued. Over in Rossland the other evening a banquet that cost $10 a plate was given in honor of Hon. C. II. Mackintosh. During the progress of events Hon. Joe Martin got np to tell what he knew about politics. The Nelson Miner j, ives the result as follows: "After indulging in a few commonplace generalities, that worthy launched forth into politics, a subject carefully svoided by the other speakers, and continued to such length that his audience began to tire. Murmurs of disapproval, suggestions of 'next man' and 'time,' finally snatches of songs, interluded th? discourse of the Manitoban Demosthenes until at length his angry passions rose and he began to launch invectives at the heads of audience. "You white shirted hoboes; you represent the gentlemen of the little town ol Rossland. I represent the majority ot the voters of the Province and I can tell you that your town won't get a cent of the money appropriated for it by the government." The proceedings began to get lively and some of those present thinking that the honorable gentleman waa suffering from a nervous headache conducted him into retirement. Then a further altercation arose between Mr. Martin and a gentleman who had requested him to withdraw a certain statement (which it would be unwise to publish) made by him. Mr. Martin refused; gentleman smashed his face; Martin retaliated; scrap; end of first round. "The peace-makers here intervened and James of that ilk lead his brother back again.

There have been more claims re staked in the Slocan this spring than for many years previous. This re- staking business should be stopped. The intent of the law is to make a mining location a lease for one year. When the claim is restaked to escape assessment the county is defrauded out of $100, the rental for one year for that particular part of the domain of the Crown. There is a law in the state of Idaho which, if put on the statutes of B. C, would put a damper on restakinje. This law provides that where a co- owner of a claim fails to do assess ment the other owner or owners, after recording the lull assessment, can advertise the delinquent out by the publication of ajthirty-day notice in the local paper, provided ot course that he does not pay tor his share of the work in the perscribed time. There could be no law more just or equitable and no legislation woald J be more welcomed bv honest pros- pectois. There are men in British Columbia who tie up aad monopolize more of the government domain every year than thev could work in a century. All monopoly is objectionable but such a monopoly which retards the development ot the country's natural resources is more than follv and worse than criminal. Tenders Wanted.

Montreal, June _ >.���President Shaughnessy gives an emphatic denial to the report that the Canadian Pacific and the Great Northern railways had arrived at an agreement whereby a joint line will be laid to connect the Boundary Creek mining camp of British Columbia with the Washington camp. Mr. Bhaughneasy added that he knew absolutely nothing concerning the reported agreement. No conference bearing on the subject had been held with the Great Northern to bis knowledge, and he thought the Ktory had been manufactured not of whole cloth. Another Yukon Outrage. Vancouver. June 28.~Men who left Dawson as late as June Hth say that the Yukon is all wrought up again over an order recently issued bv the Dominion government to the effect that the hill and bench ground ot Bonanza and Eldorado creeks had been withdrawn from entry. It can well be imagined what indignation this rating engendered. It is one of the moat far reaching orders promulgated by the government since the discovery of the Klondike. The notice of the ruling was posted Tuesday, June iith by gold commissioner Senkler, acting under instructions from commissioner Ogslvie. The order was received from Ottawa under the hand of the secretary of the minister of interior. Hamilton Watches Arc new in the Slocan The besttoatch erer offered for the moneu,.
