Off for Bruce Mines. He Got Past McGuigan. McGuigan, B. C, April 5. [2:30 p. m. I -The editor of the scab organ has just passed here in a hog car. When last seen he was yammering thru the bars: "Cash it! Cash it I Cash it !" A Popular Resort. The Halcyon Hot Springs is becoming a very popular resort for Slocan people. There are always a number of guests from Sandon registered at the Springs. Last week Tom Jones, Nick McKian, Fred Fingland, Scot Fleming and several others from this vicinity were among the visitors at the Sanitarium. The hotel has been crowded for several months and the management is contemplating extensive improvements and enlargements.

Gustavson and Dan McLeod from the Whitewater mill, Tom Fitzgerald and Andrew S. Erickson from the Ruth, Tom Callin formerly ofthe Noble Five and Wm. Watson of Nelson, Charlie Mitchell from Gem, Idaho, but formerly a resident of Slocan will also go to Bruce mines at a later date. Everyone ofthe gang is a thoro, practical mill man and they take with them the accumulated experience of many years in every camp in the west. If there is anything about milling practice that they are not onto it has not yet come to light and it is a safe bet that if there is anything worth saving in the Bruce Mines rock Gordon's gang will get it out. mm, Election of Officers.

C, APRIL 6, CITY COUNCIL, Nate Members in Attendace. Assistance to the Ottatoa Delegation. Water Contract Finally Settled. Flume toill be Extended to Ioahhoe Street. There was a meeting of the city council on Monday evening at which all the members were present. Aldermen Duffy and Lovatt, who were elected by acclamation the same day, took their seats Minutes of the previous meeting were read and adopted. A report from the fire chief was read stating that there were eight fire hydrants in working order. The police magistrate's report was received and filed. The matter ofthe water contract was again brot to the attention of the council. The city clerk reported that J. M. Harris refused to sign the contract until be had set himself right before the council. Later in tbe evening Mr. Harris appeared and stated that some ofthe aldermen were under a misapprehension regarding the contract. He pointed out that the Water & Light company were charging for the use of the hydrants and would keep the hydrants in repair, but that the contract did not state that the companv should be penalized by loss of pay in case any of these hydrants should be put out of repair by an employee of the city. The company contracted to forfeit its pay in case the water supply should be short.' Having explained this point, Mr. Harris said he was willing to sign the, contract. The following salaries and accounts were passed and ordered paid : Wm. Stubbs, salary $ 85.00 Neil Mclnnes, " 100.00 W. H. Lilly " 85.00 Miners' Hospital 120.00 M. L. Grimmett 25.00 Mining Review 27--5 H. Byers & Co 3.00 Wm. Walmsley's account for scavenging was laid over on account of a complaint about the method of disposing of the refuse. A bunch of fire department accounts were also deferred, awaiting the fire chief's O. K. A petition was presented requesting the council to appropriate {("75 for the purpose of assisting the delegation which goes to Ottawa to agitate for a lead bonus Mr. Cliffe chaperoned the petition, which had 28 signatures on it. The discussion on the matter was lively. Dr. Gomm took the ground that the city was defunct and in debt and it was improper to appropriate money for any purpose while such was the case. He moved lhat action be deferred. T. B. Folliott moved in amendment that the council appropriate the $75. He was seconded by Cameron and supported by Macdonald, with Gomm, Lovatt and Duffy against it. Mayor Pitts gave the deciding vote in favor ofthe grant. Dr. Gomm then wanted the delegate instructed to agitate for a government- owned refinery, and was promptly sat upon for his temerity by Mayor Pitts. The idea of instructing Cliffe to agitate for government ownership was a piece of satire scarcely expected from the doctor and it created a ripple from the rubberneck benches. The next business that came before the august body was to recommend the appointment of a police and license commissioner to take the place of E. R. Atherton, resigned. Alderman Gomm moved that Geo. Lovatt be recommended for appointment. The motion was seconded by Thos. Duffy. Aldermen Folliott and Macdonald wanted E. A. Cameron appointed. The nominees voted for themselves and the vote broke even. Mayor Pitts had the deciding throw again and passed the honor up lo Cameron, who will be recommended for the appointment. The mayor appointed Aldermen Lovatt and Duffy on the finance committee to take the place of Hunter and Atherton resigned. Dr. Gomm brot up the matter sif appointing a city clerk. W. H. Lilly had passed in his resignation, to take effect when a new clerk was appointed. There were three applications to be considered, Messrs. Lilly, Lyons and Sandilands. The balloting was done on tbe system that the lowest should drop out and the other two be voted for again. The first poll showed Lilly 4, Lyons 3 and Sandilands o. The second ballot told the** same story and Lilly was re-appointed. Alderman Gomm wanted a statement ofthe probable income of the city for the next six months, and Alderman Lovatt wanted to know what powers tho city had to collect taxes. The city clerk was instructed lo write to the attorney general of the province lo find out how far lhe city could go toward collecting taxes before tbe Statutory time limit of two years expired. The Mayor instructed the board of works to examine and report on the probable cost of completing ihe flume down to Ivanhoe street. The report was lo be made Wednesday. Geo. Lovatt presented a petition to the Provincial government the purport of which was to request the government to give municipalities the right to tax personal property as well as real estate. The petition was written by Mr. Cliffe, and Mr. Lovatt's attempt to decipher the hieroglyphics was a miserable failure so the matter was deferred until a later date. Council then adjourned to Wednesday evening. (Continued on page 7) Sandon Chop riou.se. AND LUNCH COUNTER; 0. H. MURHARD, Proprietor. MEALS, 25.CENTS. All the Delicacies of the Season Serced.

Clifford Sifton is getting sore on his Doukhobors. Clifford picked up these gents on the European bargain counter at a price below the cost of production���$3.85 per head was the freight. When the Douks landed in Canada the immigration officials published bureau-inspired romances about what nice people they were and rushed them to the outside edge of civilization by the back way. One train load of these folks, with the aroma of Silesia about their clothes, got side-tracked in the Calgary stock yards and the board of health made the railroaders shunt the cars outside the citv limits. Thev 0 m smelled bad. The Douks were settled on good land that white men might have occupied, and. the Able Young Minister went about the country swelling himself up about his vigorous immigration policy. But the Douks are no snap. They are communists by conviction, which is more than Clifford is. When it came to a case of making the statutory application for the homesteads on which they had been located the gents from Russia bucked. The Douks were long on principal. They said that all land should be owned in common���a la Tolsti���and they refused to sacrifice their principle by taking out patents. Clifford made a compromise by holding the land in trust, which seems to have been satisfactory to the Doukhobors. But now these beautiful creatures are in Clifford's hair again, and this time the minister of interior calculates that he has a gaievance. The Douks are free lovers. They don't recognize the necessity of a formal marriage and any such ceremony as a divorce is considered superfluous. Their code is simple and handy. When a man and woman believe they are in love they go in partnership. When their love grows cold they simply dissolve partnership and take up with whoever suits their fancy. This is the system that has been in vogue with the Douks for several generations and they are satisfied with it, but the obtrusive, clamorous modesty of eastern prudes is severely shocked to find that such a practice should be transplanted to this staid and moral Canada of ours, and Clifford is being appealed to by virtue organizations to shut the Douks off. Free love is hardly in line with bitton s Methodist training and he vyill probably endeavor to inoculate his Doukhobors with the Canadian virtue virus, but in the meantime the Able Young Minister no doubt wishes his Silesian settlers were ticketed clear thru to the lower stopes of hell. EMPEROR William, Germany's crazy man, is having a bad time of it these days. Some of his subjects are not acting nice and a few days ago a chap threw a chunk of scrap iron his wav that iarred William's anatomy and nearly put the erratic outocrat out ot business. William is inclined to be sarcastic about the affair. He says that he doesn't worry much about this particular incident, but he is under the impression that the majority of his subjects would like to repeat the dose. If the Germans cultivate the habit of celebrating state occasions by shying scrap iron and road metal at their egotistical emperor, Bill will soon be ready to hand down his divine right and other emoluments to the next man on the strirtsf. But the fellows who throw the scrap iron have the proposition sized up wrong. Emperor William is only a man. He is of no use to his fellow men, and his divine right is fentish. If he and every other crowned head in Europe were erased from the scene by the scrap iron route the world w:ould jog along about the same. Himself a fool, he misrules by the consent of the fools whom he misgoverns. Sympath for a dead William would be misplaced ; but to kill him would be absurd. The fault is with the system which crowns him emperorer and the system can not be altered by throwing scrap iron at a figure-head. There are two lead smelters working in Kootenay. One handles 100 tons of lead ore a day and the other 150 tons. The combined annual capacity of these two smelters figures out to 91,250 tons. The lead ore production of Kootenay has never exceeded 40,000 tons in bny one vear. Why are " ���*���* ** ml these smelters crowded ? and Republic. It is in place to remind the Telegram that the loss in nearly every ease mentioned can not be put down to the mine. The War Eagle property, for instance, is worth more today, with the stock valuation $6,300,000 less, than it was two years ago. The Toronto speculators no doubt lost money on the depreciation of the stock valuation, but they have unquestionably won money on the increased value of the mine. Some time in the dim future the Toronto folks will tumble to the fact that stock gambling and mining are two entirely different things. Stock gambling is a polite form of grand larceny. .Mining is a legitimate industry.* If 90 per cent, of the stock brokers in Toronto were behind the bars the mining" industry in B. C. would profit by their incarceration. THESE is imminent danger of a strike at Rossland. Friction between the Le Roi and War Eagle and employees has existed for a long time and the indications are that a strike or a lockout may be precipitated at any moment. The miners say that the companies are importing low elass foreigners from the iron ranges oi Minnesota to displace union men. The companies recently posted notices to the effect that any appearance ot trouble will be the signal for closing down the Le Roi and Centre Star properties, which, they say, will onl) be reopened on a reduced wage scale basis. After many months delay, the council has at last taken action to complete the flume down to the Kootena) bridge. This work should have been done long ago, but it cannot be done any earlier now, and the board of works should see that construction is completed before the high water comes. It will then be in order for the council to open Main street from end lo etui. This would give the city a presentable appearance and would so arrange matters that any building on the street would be easily accessible in case ot fire. The Toronto Telegram has it figured out that speculators in that city are twenty million loser by depreciation of standard B. C. mining stocks. It shows that the difference between the highest and lowest stock valuation of the Payne was $3,200,0000 ; of the Cariboo McKinney, $1,875,000; of the North Star, a$455,ooo ; of the Centre Star $2,450,000, and the rest of the twenty million which the speculators are out was lost on the decline of Golden Star, Virtue, War Eagle Not long ago Count Leo Tolsti was excommunicated by the Greek church of Russia, and now the Russian government has banished the distinguished nobleman. This is the price Tolsti pays for being a scholar, philosopher, philanthropist and humanitarian. His reward is this, that he is known and loved by every thinker j'1 the universe and that his memory will be cherished when the Russian oligarchy lies forgotten in the dust of ages and the Greek church is as dead as the consciences of its mentors.

"Yes,' said the dapper young man in the men's furnishings depart ment "these net'klies are perfectly RWeet, in fact thej are the sweetest thing we have had at a spring opening for many seasons." He picked up a vision in mauve, with Mack stripes and gazed at il loudly. "That," he said to The Province reporter who was detailed to write up the sprinff opening, "is the proper tie for a man of 23. If you wanted anything more passionate you should go in for these crimsons." "1 suppose," queried the Province man, "that hats will he worn a great deal this season ? " "A threat deal," replied the sartorial mentor, "but not in church.

They will wear them in lhe upper left-hand breast pockets of their coats. Suspenders will be worn over both shoulders, but all authorities agree that they should be kept out of sight as much as possible. "Here," he continued, "is something new from London." He picked up two curious things that looked like one-toed feet. "Socks, the) call them. They arc- worn inside the boots and are changed occasionally. Shirts will be very much worn this season but anybody wearing a collar will get it in the neck." "Yes," said the furnishings man, "I'm a regular daily hint from London when it comes to talking fashions for men." A Pair of Pants. Pants are made for men not for women. Women are made for men not for pants. When a man pants for a woman and woman pants for man, they are a pair of pants,. Such pants donl last. Pants are like molasses they are thinner in hot weather and thicker in cold. Men are often mistaken in pants, such mistakes are breeches of promise. There has been much discussion whether pants is singular or plural. Seems to us that when iuen wear pants it is plural, and when they don't wear pants it is singular. Men go on a tear in their pants, and it is all right, when the pants go on a tear it is all wrong. If you want to make pants last make the coat first.

At a meeting of the District Association No. 6 of the Western Federation of Miners held in Nelson on Wednesday the matter of a government honus to the lead refining industry was among the questions discussed during the day, in connection with which the following resolution was passed: Whereas, the silver-lead mining industry of British Columhia has been seriously {hampered by the actions of the American smelting trust in increasing their charges for treatment of our ores and increasing their commission for lhe disposition of our bullion; and, whereas, this convention is of the opinion that the establishment of a refinery in Canada would greatly stimulate lhe production of silver-lead ore, and materially contribute to the promotion of the general interests of the country; and, whereas this convention is of the opinion that it is absolutely essential to the proper protection of all interests involved that the proposed refinery should be established under such conditions as would preclude the possibility of its absorption by the smelter trust at any future date; therefore, be it resol-ed: that I his District Association, No. 6, Western Federation of Miners, in convention assembled, declare that in the judgment of this organization the true solution ofthe refinery problem is the construction and operation of a refinery by the Dominion government of sufficient capacity for the treatment of our silver-lead ores, and that such refinery should be situated at some central point in the mining districts of of this province.
