Klblet has sub-let the contract tor building a flume from the Noble Five slide to the new Last Chance ore liouse. It is intended to supply wster power for the ore crusher which wil) be put in. Tbe Ajax. About 8 inches of ore has been encountered where the No. 3 crosscut taps the east vein on the Ajax. Thin tunnel taps the ore chute UO feet below the No 2 tunnel, in which ore assaying lTii ozs. silver and 75 |ser cent, lead has-been exposed continuously for about 125 feet with a verv tine showing still in the face. 'fhl�� given a sloping ground'of 175 toet between No. 1 and No. 3 tnrrels, Tire company do not propose to ship any ore at present, having determined to thoroughly develop the? prop- erty before sending down any ore. Another cronacut is now being run IU) feet In-low the present workings to tap both tin* east and west veins. About 20 men are employed Tbe Palmito. of Slocan. SLOCAN ORE SHIPMENTS.

Mr. and Mrs. Jas. Vallanoe arriv ��l in town irom Hamilton, Ont., on luesday. Mr. Valla nee is again in charge of affairs at II. Byera. Tke C. P. K. workmen are build "���ga trestle for the spur into the new depot. The track will come in over tbe site oi the old depot. In reporting the Palmito last week we mentioned J. K. Clark as manager. This ts incorrect as A. W. Wright is handling the property. The Palmito adjoins the Vucen Bess, the lead having been exposed fhHuO^ieen Bees ground across the I'alrnito and into adjoining claims. Three tunnels have been driven on the lead ami ore found wherever work has been done, but owing to the formation being considerably broken up tlie ore chutes have not bean continuous. The Palmito company, through their manager, A. VV. \Vright have let a contract to the Jenkens bribers to run fat) feet on the lead about 175 feet ln*low the present workings. The Washington. Work will bl commenced today on the Washington. \V. K. Mac kenzie is foreman and a force of 10 men will In- put to work clearing out the tunnel* and getting things in shape far active mining operation!!.. A larger toree will he employed as soon as possible. Two tunnels which reach the end lines on the Washington will be driven ahead on Slocan Boy ground with double shifts. The B. C.

Consulting Engineer Fowler and J. Roderick Rolteriaon, superintendent of the B. & (Jold Fields aro in charge of t he management. According to last reports the tlota tion of the company to take up the property was progressing favorably in London and the Washington ind Slocan Bov will probably be turned over to English investors in the near future. Boozerino still reigns supreme in Sandon. By a vote ot 28 to 17 the denizens of the Silver City have declared for the tree, unadulterated and unbiased distribution of the old- fashioned prescription for sore beads. The vote was very small, the smallest ever polled in'Sandon on question of importance able that tbe 17 who declared in tavorot prohibition represented the total teetotal vote ot the burg. It is also probable that the 28 voters in favor of maintaining the existing order of things represented the total remaining citizens who took any interest in tbe question. The 150 or 200 other voters apparently didn't care enough about it to cast a vote one way or the other. For the first time in its history Sandon had a practical illustration of prohibition except that there were no blind pigs, striped tigers or bootleggers. The saloons were closed all day Thursday and many thirsty souls, conscious ot their inability to obtain relief, wandered aimlessly about trying Scott Act raps and North Dakota winks on every mixer they happt n ��d to meet. But it was no go. There waa only one "open sesame." There were spirit rappings at tlie side door all day. It stood njar and the house generally stood several rounds. Kaslo gave prohibition a majority ol 5 in 140 votes polled. New Denver gave 23 for, Slocan City 20 for, and Nelson 22 against. Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal and Quebec declared against prohibition. The total majority in favor of prohibition in the Dominion will probably amount to over 45,000. Prom Sandon.

This property is considered one of the banner claims of the Cariboo Creek country. It was located by Clark & Mediums, and is under bond to Pat Burns and Wm. Mackenzie, of Mackenzie & Maun. Considerable development work was done last winter ou the Chiettaiu and is the Intention this winter to open the property up thoroughly. It is probable that a double shift will be worked in two tunnels. Earhj Closing. V movement is on foot to have the sto'res in this city close at a more reasonable hour. It has been the custom heretofore to keep the stores o ten until nine or ten o'clock or even later and it sometimes seemed as houirh the local merchants were Sing a night shift to outrival ���sob other in the matter of keeping Xlatc. An agreement has been reacted among the storekeepers to dose'their establishments at 8 o'clock hituture. This is a commendable ml much-needed reform and if ad- lervdto will make matters much ore pleasant for all concerned. Total, : : 8,3751 tons Shipments over the K. & S. for the week ending September 30: Pavne 150, Ruth 60. Over the C. P. R. for the last week in September; Payne, 300, Sloean Star 130. Total for the week 630. A Banner Month. Tlie thirty days ending yesterday has been a record breaker for ore shipments. The Payne made the greatest shipments since the mine became a shipper, sending down 1710 tons. The Ruth shipped 430, the Star 420, Last Chance 240, Soverign 40, Treasure Vault 40, Miller Creek 20 and Wonderful 6, miking a grand total of 2903 tons shipped: from Sandorr alone. McGuigan shipped 90 tons during the month. 30 from the Antoine and GO from the Rambler. Three Forks, Concentrator siding and Whitewater are yet to hear from and will swell these figures by several hundred ton 8. An Athletic Club Wanted. The long autumn evenings are upon us once once more and with the approach of winter the matter of an athletic club is being talked of again. Sandon is a city of very few amusements and an athletic club, located in comfortable quarters with a nice reading room attached would till a long-felt want. Everyone in town is willing to go into such an institution and all that is lacking is some moving spirit to take hold of the project A public meeting should be called and an organisation started in a business-like manner. Who will take this matter up? CHURCH NOTICES. Presbyterian Church���Union service in Virginia Hall to-morrow morning at 11 o'clock. Rev. A. M. Sanford, preacher. Methodist Church���Union service in the church to-morrow evening at 7:30. Rev. A. M. Sanford, preacher THE PAYSTREAK, SANDON, B. C, OCTOBER 1 1898 CONCENTRATES. If the C. P. R. fulfils its contract with the people of the Dominion a train will be run into Kusknoook today. Sunt. Whyte says the company will do it. Disinterested parties say it cannot be done. The main object, however, of the Crow's Nest road is to supply cheap fuel to the Kootenay. The people of B. C. have been promised coal at the Slit's mouth for S2 a ton and at the ake for $4. The Omaha-Grant people intimate that they will re-open the Pilot Bay smelter just aa soon as the price of coke will permit The Nelson people believe that with $4 coal the Hall Mines smelter could take the lead ore trade from tbe Omaha, Pueblo and Kansas City smelters. The C. P. R. smelter at Trail is having built a 350-ton lead stack to treat Slocan ores "at coat price," they say. Col. Baker is going to build an ex tensive smelter at Cranbrook. Hugh Sutherland, Mann, Mackenzie, et al are making great preparations for a smelter for the North Star mine. John A. Manly haa a company on the string which is to put in a large smelter plant at Grand Forks just as soon as that town has railway facilities. Vancouver has two or three companies offering to establish smelting and refining concerns in the Terminal City. And last ot all, the Alexanders are credited with a smelter intention for Kaslo. All these concerns promise to handle silver-lead ores either aaa main business or a side Issue. Slocan ore, all things considered, is paying the highest treatment charges in the world. This is not because the galena ore is more difficult to handle, ut simply because the smelter men, like the railroads, charge all the traffic will stand. It the Slocan ore were of lower grade smelting would be cheaper; if more valuable treat-' meat would be higher. If the present smelter craze results in the build ing of competative smelters on the Canadian side of the line it will be an incalculable boon to Slocan mine owners. them in without paying toil. Speaking of thia the other day, one of tbe moat prominent mining men of the camp, who was at one- time heavily interested in the smelter industry and Is still In close touch, remarked that the lead trust arc beginning to see that the present discrimination must eventually prove a boomerang. If the duty causes Canadians to build smelters of tbeir own tbe American lead trust must lose tbe trade aa the Canadian government would natural ly protect its home industry. To put the whole thing in a nut shell: The C. P. R. already con trola the freight carrying industry of Kootenay. The company has invested several million in the smelter business. The Crow's Nest Coal company is made up of friends and officials of the road. Van Home, practically speaking, is the whole Canadian government so far aa British Columbia is concerned, and can be relied on to regulate the lead tariff to suit himself. Any other smelter concerns in the Kootenay will be allowed to exist only under sufferance. Immediately thev come into competition with tbe C. P. K. smelter they will be crushed out The industry will be as much a monopoly under the new conditions as under the old. Tbe principal difference to tbe mine owners will be a change ot masters. In the past they have been subject to the extortion of tbe United States lead trust. In the future they will work tot tbe C. P. R. The industrial advantage will be shitted from Omaha, Pueblo, Kansas City and Aurora tn Trail. Canada will be gainer to that extent Just where tlie Slocan will "get off at" remains to be seen. Same Hera. Speaking of the lead duty: It ia needless to enlarge here on the principles of tbe tariff arrangement which the lead trust bought through at Washington. Everyone interested knows how the Canadian miner is diet* lminated against for tbe benefit of tbe United States I smelter men. Tne Kaalo and Rossland Boards of Trade have deputized J. B. Mo- Arthur to give the Quebec Conference a single-handed talk on the subject of lead tariff and have petitioned tbe Canadian Commissioners to endeavor to have the discrimination removed. Although it is not probable that tbe efforts of the Kaalo and Rossland Boards of Trade will result in a revision of the tariff, tbe movement can certainly do no barm. Conditions could hardly be more unfavorable so far us the Slocan mine owners are concerned. Bat to look at the matter in another light i Does it not seem childish on the part of the people of Canada to stand ou the outside of the fence and cry because Uncle Sam wUl not let Wc live in a land of high moan tains, high collars, high taxes snd high priced jags, low valleys, low neck dresses, low dives and low wages, big crooked rivers and big, crooked statesmen, big Iskea, big drunks, big pumpkins, big men with pumpkin heads, silver streams that gambol in the mountains and silver-tongued orators who gamble in tbe night, roaring cataracts and roaring orators, fast trains, fast horses, fast young men, roses that bloom the year round and beautiful girle with rosebud mouths, sharp lawyers, sharp financiers and sharp toe boots, fertile plains that He like a sheet of water and thousands ot newspapers that lie like thunder. The Datcson Rake-Off. The latest statement of malfeasance against Dominion government officials in Dawson Is thst charges of 15 and 110 are being made for ad- mission to the gold commissioner's office, those who pay being admitted through a aide door, while others are kept waiting so long for admission through the front door that it ia often too late to record the claims, which perhaps have been recorded by the aide door in tbe meantime.

C OCTOBER 1, 1898 THK INDIAN CUBBSNCV PROBLKM. That the price of silver will continue to steadily advance until it reaches a mark more in harmony with its coinage ratio with gold there is every reason to believe. With the approaching presidential campaign in the states the money power will exert every influence to bring up the price by manipulation, in order to take some of the wind out of the bl- metallist sail. This, of course, would only help temporarily, bat help it will, and should the double standard cause come out victorious the price will ever remain stationary the same as gold stands today, snd has ever stood since It was made the standard of value. Should tbe l>i metal lists again fail, then we believe other issues will come up to aid the silver cause aud put the world's monetary laws on a safer and sounder foundation; but we cannot believe that silver, so long as it is used as a money metal at its present ratio with gold, will ever again reach a figure as low as 50 cents an ounce. The condition of affairs in India, and what it will lead to, is certain to cause silver to go up. Whether tbe mints there will be reopened to unlimited coinage or the coinage will be restricted somewhat, it ia impossible at this time to say; but that silver will soon take the place ot the gold experiment that has given so much dissatisfaction there, ia sure. In discussing tbe Indian currency question a former director of the United States mint said in a recent interview: 'The commission recently appointed b. tbe secretary of state of India to arrive at some conclusion which shall afford relief from the present financial strain in that country, has entered upon its labors which are found to be quite formidable. Large interests are involved���monetary, industrial, commercial and political. The policy of the government of India in closing its mints to sliver in 18113 was to check the fall of the value of the silver rupee and lift its value again If possible. If waa dc- agoed to appreciate this com to the value of 16 pence. This has been accomplished. * * * Ihe origin al purpose of the Indian government was to introduce the gold standard after the rupee, by reason of scarcity became again worth as much as 32 cents. But this has been found im practicable. It has been found difli euh to get the gold. Gold has not flowed into India as it was expected to do, after the rupee rose to 32 cents On the contrary, it has flowed out. At the same time, there has been a great stringency in the money market and distress in business circles. There was a hope that an artificial rupee worth 16 pence would make revenue balance expenditure without new economies or new taxation, but tbe very artificiality of tbe device prevents its permanent success. Tbe chambers of commerce in India are violently opposed to the continuance of tbe experiment inaugurated in 1893 Export and import merchants, bimetsllists and monometallisls all agree that it strikes at tbe root ot productive industry and cotnmerae.n The Nelson Economist insinuates that Fred Hume must have claims of his own in the White Grouse mountain district because be has promised the prcspeetors of that section a trail up Goat river. It should be a wagon road instead of a trail, and if Hume has a claim or two in that section there are also hundreds of other claims that are sadly In need ot an outlet. To jump at the Minister of Mines because he is trying to help a much neglected district shows a petty spirit upon the part of the Nelson editor. Hume Is an honest man and should be encouraged in his efforts to open up the White Grouse country, or any other part of Kootenay that Is lying dormant for lack of communication. It isn't the right thing any more to ask a friend to drink with yoa. Non treating clubs have been started in the greet cities of this snd other countries, snd though the lad originated aa a |oke, the clubs are becom ing quite popular with all classes. Every member promises never to ask another member to take a drink, and wears a button for tbe purpose of identification. Every day we are forced to believe that the milennial days are approaching. The surest way of killing the liquor corse is to stop the treating habit, and, while the fad may not last long enough for any ot the buttons to find their way into the Slocsn, tbe principle might be adopted here with profit by many.

The Mountain Chiei, ou Dog Creek, shows one of the greatest outcrops of rich copper ore in West Kootenay, says the Kossland Leader. Dog Creek falls into Arrow Lake about two and a half miles above Brooklyn and forms the pas* into Burnt Basin and Sheep I^ake district through which the Kohson-Pen- ticton railway la now under rapid construction. On Bulldog mountain, not more^than a mile and a half aaay from the water, there are a number of pros- l>ects showing very high values in copper. The first Of these is a very wide outcrop of beautiful peacock and gray copper ore, very similar in appearance to the ore "which has made Toad mountain 'famous, which occurs on the Mountain Chief claims Very little work has yet been done on the pr >|hm tv, but in mining surface cuts ami so forth quite a few tons of rich ore have been taken out. The property, with three others surrounding it, has been purchased by the Golden Gate Development Company, of Kossland, and it is their intention to go to work at once ami open the property, shipping the ore taken out in course of development.

George Laduhe Returns form the Far North. George Laduke, who left Sandon last July for Dawson City returned from tbe north on Thursday. He has a good deal to say about the condition of affairs existing in Dawson which is not by any means to the credit of that city or of the government officials in charge. Although he is not in a position to make any specific charges against the powers that lie, as he did not come directly in contact with official corruption, he says the administra tion of affairs in the Yukon is simply rotten The gold commissioners office, post office and every other department of the government service is being handled in a most scandalous manner. In the record office it is practically impossible for anyone outside of the ring to get a claim of any value recorded. When a miner comes in with a claim to put on record he is detained in some way, some fault is found with the numbering or the manner of staking, or the applicant is informed that he is on government reserve, while in the meantime some favorite is let in by a side door to place the identical claim on record. Gold Commissioner Fawcett, the Mounted Police, and in fact almost everyone connected with the administration is regarded as being terribly corrupt. Admission is charged at the side door of the record office and post office and tips taken for the prompt delivery of mail or the tin- medi.tte recording of claims in advance of others who may be waiting to get into the office iu ihe orthodox manner. The much vaunted British justice is made a laughing stock, indignation meetings are the order ot the day, and it would not be surprising to see a state of anarchy pre- v tiling in the Yukon this winter. Laduke states that there is no discount on tbe richness of the country ; that large quantities of gold have been taken out and that there is much more to come. He says that it would be hard to overdraw tbe stories of surplus money In circulation about the dance halls, saloons and gambling layouts. The stories of hardships suffered on the trails do not hair describe tbe real state of affairs on the road to Dawson. Alt things considered, George Laduke ts glad to be back in Sandon a rain and says his best advice to intending gold-seekers is to give Dawson City a wide berth. Sandon'a Braea Band. use. The other pieces necessary, making 19 in all, have been ordered and will be purchased on a cash basis at a cost of about $850. Another meeting will be held in the City offices on Thursday evening, October 6th. Any person wishing to become a member of the band is invited to be present on this occasion. Several more instruments are to be given out to whoever is tirst on the list. It might also be appropriate to mention here that the band is a few dollars shy for the price of the instruments. It will not ruffle the dignity of the members of this new and most worthy institution to accept financial encouragement from a few of Sandon's most considerate and appreciative citizens -don't all speak at once. The treasurer will try to get around and see you. Tickets to the Spokane Fruit Fair, which will be sold at tbe K. & S. depot from the 2nd to 11th inclusive, are limited to seven days from date of sale, and must be deposited with the agent in Spokane upon arrival iu the city. A rate from Kaslo of t&.35 for tbe round trip by the Bonner's Ferry is advertised* by the International Navigation Company. Passengers leaving Sandou to day will arrive in Spokane to-morrow night.
