The general public will read these affidavits with a sigh of relief. Those who caused to be published all through the country that Sandon was a cesspool of official corruption have formulated their charges and they arc as given above. Not one word hi said in regard to the collusion Of the magistracy, and these gentlemen must therefore rest under the terrible stigma put upon them without a murmur. The only subject for investigation at the provincial government hearing on Monday is the conduct of Constable Hamilton. This will Is* decided for or against him, on the substantiation or lack of sulistantiation of the above affidavits. The magistrates are afforded no opportunity of answering to the newspaper charges so broadly published against them. The hearing of the charges against Constable Hamilton will begin at noon on Monday before Acting Gold Commissioner Goepel, M. L. Orimmett will appear tor Hamilton, but the complainants have not engaged counsel. Won't Go to the Klondike.

To the daring spirit of Peter the Ureal belongs tlie honor of the Russian ex'.editions which led to the discovery of Alaska. The czar conceived the ambitious project of founding an American Russia, and thus extending his dominions over three continents. The leadership of these expeditions he entrusted to Vitus Bering, a Danish captain in the Russian service. < »n February 5, 1725, tbe expedition jset out overland through Siberia, and three davs later the czar died, but his instructions were faithfully carried out by Catherine his wife, and Elizabeth his daughter. This arduous work of exploring tbe Siberian coast and waters continued for 16 years before the Alaskan coast was sighted. The second Kamschatkan ex (sedition was six years in crossing Siberia. It was in the spring of 17*3 thnt Bering and his lieutenant Chirikof pm out into Bering sea. whose waters Bering had discovered on his previous expedition, They had two small vessels. One waa commanded by Bering and the other by Chirikof. The little craft became separated at sea, and were never reunited. Chirikof bore away to the east, audi during the night of Julv 15, 1741, sighted land in latitude 55.21*. It was afterwards disclosed that this was thirty-six hours in advance of Bering's discovery of the mainland of America, Chirikof sent a party ashore in one of the small boats to explore the immediate errantry and secure fresh wster. Sof» after leaving the vessel they passed around a rocky point and disappeared from sight. As they failed to return at the appointed time, another boat's crew was sent ashore. Soon a grfsat smoke was seen rising from the shore, and two large caivoes filled with threatening natives came out from the land. Thev refused to board the strange ship, and it dawned upon Chirikof that alf the men he had sent ashore had been massacred. This reduced his crew to small numbers.and Chirikof decided to return to the Kamschatkan coast. The return voyage was attended with frightful hardships and suffering. Scurvy attacked the men. many died, and the others V/ere rendered helpless by sickness. After weeks of this suffering, the vessel reached the Kam- schatkan coast, with only the pilot on deck. Chirikof was one of the first stricken with scurvy, but recovered. Bering's party suffered even greater hardships. After sighting the const and making a landing, Bering gave orders to lift anchor and return to Kamschat- ka. The ship become lost in the maze of islands and was wrecked upon a barren island. There the survivors Caves wen* dug in the sandbank ai a littlestrcam.anda scanty and imcer- tain food suppb was obtained by killing sea animals and resorting to the flesh of dead whales cast upon the beach.

We got in at 2 a.m., on the morning of June 7, having been to days from Victoria. Aft** having gathered together the few tools I had with me and having got an apron made out of a Hour sack, I made a start on tbe following morning at what is considered a very good job here; it will last until about the end of Sepu-taber. and by that time the diggings will be starting. You can imagine what it was to work on an iron roof to ilav when the ther- moiuiieter registered »5 iu the shade, still when a man gets tun for a week's work he cannot complain of ordinary troubles. Rough lumber is $150 pair thousand and carpenter wages tl5 a flay .so you might at vour leisure fljftire up what a building will cost.

It is the hardest errantry In the world to prmprcL even for placer mining, and almost impassible for quarts. All this gold which lies along the streams and ocean, telle of mountains of the pre clous mineral bklden under the sur face.

There Is another apparenllv insig nlfkant obstacle, which Is. never* he less, the chiefest. The whole Alaska const Is covered with moss to s depth of about a foot. Walking on that moss one might pass over vast masses of gold-hearing rock. You can't go along and stop and proapect every time you encounter any reek, tor the simple reason that the mess keeps vou from seeing the rock. It is only by chance that yoa might serspe off the moss In the right place. Then them Is another difficulty of s curious nature. Along the coast, st least, the soil has been deposited and immense forests of great trees are growing on top of glaciers. My partner and I sank a shaft where we thought there was a good chance for tsvspec- ting, and four feet below the surface we struck solid lea, the solid lee of whai we call a dead glacier.

The Little Mannie shaft is now down 110 feet. Drifting both ways is being done at 20 and 90 foot levels, and some good ore is being sent to the surface. Considerable interest is manifested in the Pilot Bay smelter deal here. The new management arrived in Kaslo last week and will go ahead with the. repairs contemplated immediately on completion of the transaction. The Pilot Bay saw mill will resume operations next week. Contracts have been made with Joe Bealer for the delivery of a raft of logs, and a force of men is now .making the necessary repairs preparatory to starting work. Kokaaa* City Next. At the head of Kokanee creek and adjoining the Mollie Gibson mine, a new townsite has been surveyed and divided into lots. The town is to be called Kokanee, and its inhabitants, when they become numerous enough to have a name, will be called the Kokakanucks.

Address: Tan Patst_kak, Sandon, B.C. SANDON. B. C, AUGUST 14, 1897. BUY FROM VOITR NEIGHBOR. Everyone interested in the growth of a mining camp to a municipality, whether financially or philanthropi cally, should make a ttudy of Balzac's "A Country Doctor." They would glean from that the importance of patronizing home imlttstries, every old hulk that has been lying idle since the Puget Sound boom is being pressed into service. How much of this transportation activity has been worked up by write ups of gold discoveries paid for bv the transportation companies remains to be proven by the future. The cmse, however, will certainly serve to open ap the in hospital lands of Alaska. MUNICIPAL SALARIES. Ix a few more weeks the people of Sandon will nave to consider the selection of the most fitting men to govern tbe town under municipal regulations. There is no lack of men thoroughly qualified for the positfams, and there is little doubt but of these the best will receive the majority of and if they have any local patriotism tb_ ^^ V(Jtm Jt sboa,d ^ an at all it will lead them to make deal Ing with their neighbors, and thus assisting in building up their own local community, the leading principle in all their business transactions. Sandon has this principle at heart and is more loval to her home trade than most new towns. Yet the glamour of things fetched from the dis tance, the glibneas of the drummer, the inducements held out by large firms in the east of this continent, on both sides of tbe boundary, sometimes leads people to forget this principle and the duty underlying it. They do not stop to consider when ordering goods from Toronto, for in stance, that they are building up Toronto at the expense of Sandon. They make a present saving of a few dollars, perhaps, and that is their only thought If they looked a little further they would see that this was no saving at all; that by purchasing tbe home article a part of tbe purchase money would be expended in their own home business. And, then, how often are they doomed to disappointment in the practice of this false economy? How rarely are tbe promises and inducements of the drummer carried into effect, and what redress have you f >r the worry and lost of time—sometimes of money? Tour local tradesman has to fulfill his every promise, or he could not long sustain himself in the community. You know personally so many instances of this kind that i* Is needless to refer to the several that have occurred recently and are now town's talk. If this leads you to consider the matter at all you will find a couple of columns of reasons why it is to your advantage to patronize your townsman who patronizes you. Tbe people in the United States are evidently determined to make tbe beat of the Klondike craze, while It lasts. A New York syndicate has sent out men with capital to buy steamers and locate trading posts all along the Yukon; the North American Trading Company Is building lottr new steamers at Seattle, and derstood by the candidates, however, that the honor conferred in their selection is considered s full equival- ent for their services. Sandon cannot afford a large salary list Kossland elected a lot of men who although the city was indebted beyond its permission to borrow, voted themselves high salaries, tbe Mayor charging the municipality that he is impoverishing by extravagance tbe sum of $1,«(00 for bis services. This salary undoubtedly goes on all the year, although he is awav at his home in Gait, and the wheels of the local government is lucked because of the squabbles of two salaried alder men as to which shall be acting mayor. Of course Sandon, profiting by such experience, will not choose that kind of men, but those who are residents and who are directly interested in building up and improving the town, and who have sufficient local patriotism to give their best services to seccure good c-conouiicul government as is their common duty, and who will find in the consciousness of doing this an adequate compensation. THOSE KLONDIKK Br/HXATIOR*. Mary of the leading newspapers are opposed to the mining regulations tbe Dominion government has made tor the Klondike and hope they will be re-considered. The first objection Is to the royality—2C per cent over a product of $500, which is held to be too high to be successfully collected. Also it is believed that any attempt to reserve alternate claims for the government will be full of danger. Tbe Colonist states the ease In this way: •Two men goopoh a creek to prospect for gold: both find it within 500 feet of each other. The first man to locate gets his claim, the next man must measure otT 500 feet for the government before driving his stokes. Who shall settle as to who is first? Let it be remembered, that the country is a vast one, that it Is utterly impossible to ponce it that miners will meet in the heart of the wilderness to settle between themselves as to who is the first to drive their stakes. Dead men will tell no tales, ami roanv a prt«i|**eu*r will find that might will make right when it comes to a contest on the ground, far from the police, as to who shall drive the stakes on adjacent discoveries and who shall alnitdon his claim and move awav 500 feet 'We warn the Dominion government against th* course which it proposes to take. It will Inevitable lead to violence and bloodshed. When the lust of gold has hold of a man and tlie nuggets are In sight in many cases he will not allow murder to stand in bis way. And who can tell the tale T «»»__M*a****»**J*a*aw**as****w_» THE HLM'ARW KXnHIT*. John F.

Itiww.AMi, August 8th.—The stagnation of business and shortness of money still continues, and it is Woming more and more evident that the number of business houses, brokers and mining operators generally is still too great for the amount of business to be done. The signs of aa increasing output from the mines are not wanting, as anyone'ean see by the large amount of ore passing over to the Columbia & Western Railway every day. But this to mainly ftom the LeKoi,and in reality to not to be counted on as benefitting the city to any great extent. The 130,000 (aid as dividends every month to the stockholders of that mine doe* not reaeh Rosslsnd. at least not much of it. It is paid in~*8pokane, mostly to Spokane people. All the single men employed in the mine are compelled to board at thettimpanysbciarding-house, and all the supplies for that boarding- house are purchased in Spokane. Many of the men have sires snd families in the BtStes, and the greater portion of their wages are sent to their families. so that Russia nd derives very little benefit from its biggest mine, ami the increase in its output does not mean a corrt*»pondiiig increase of business in the city. Whether any of the other shipping mines willl adopt a similar system remains to be seen. In newspaperdom. it is whis|M-red that the Miner will soon return to a weekly issue, and in that case the Record will have to do the same, or else employ news gatherer* of Its own. It is also whispered that the Rosslander will soon need an epitaph, the forecast of its doom being the fact that Br'er Jones has despatched an agent to Northern Koot* enav to *pv out the land and report on its fruit fulness as a field for journalistic enterprise. Verily the way of the uews- paper Is hard. Some parties here sre advertising their mineral claims for sale at reck* leaalv low prices, alleging that they "arc" going to Klondike, and must have money." It is difficult to sell a claim here at any price, but the offer to sacrifice good * properties for the sake of getting u» Klondike may be a good bait In attract those who are always on the lookout to get something for nothing. At the Iron Mask two new ore bodies have recently been opened up. These were found in both the east and west drifts run from Centre Star gulch, and the ore being hoisted is of shipping grade. The Centre Star to now s shipper, and in view of the. tact that there are »*>,000 ions blocked out underground, the only requirement necessary to ensure its mit .»< th.. fW i, ■H'"»g * IMX* *•*• vo»*imious shipper is is^tolottrTito th** hiring of the freight rate to the smelter.

Julieu ami his partner. Atldet. are "on velvet." They staked three claims last year along the lino of the Nelson A Fort Sheppard Iteilwav. near Ymlr, ami very recently bonded one of them to the Hall Mines (o. for UUfUOO; «S,uoo down, $35,000 on November 1st and |U,aoo on the 1st June, 1898. ' The claim in question is not far from the famous Elise, and the ore is verv similar, beimr a fine-looking quartz, with the ledge running the whole length of tbe property. Assays from near the surface went $11 in gold, and at a depth of 21 feet the ore was worth $61 per ton. Fifteen men have been nut to work on the property, which is known as the Black Cock. There is no dmibt whatever that the bond will be taken up, and it is said that the other two claims have been examined with a view to being bonded for large sums, as the ore is equally as rich at surface as on the Black Cock. As prophesied, the work of blasting away the rock bluff at the west end of Columbia Ave. has been supended, and the chances of there being money enough raised to complete the job seems to be very slim. The annual meeting of the Iron Colt stockholders was held last week, and the financial report submitted was a very satisfactory one. It showed nearly $11,000 expended and over double that sum as a balance in hand. The statement can be relied upon as it was specially made by Richard Plewman, who is one of the'most expert accountants here, ami a man who is in every wav trust worth v. a * BIG BKXI) CANTON. Tha Lytton Makes a Racoeaafa.1 Trip Through Death Rapid*. The steamer Lytton started from Nakusp last week to re-open navigation on the Columbia above Revelstoke to Big Bend. The hitter was a camp of famous richness as far back as the sixties, and has only been held hack by lack of transportation facilities.. For thirty years no steam boat has made the trip up, the last one being the Forty- Niner, which made trips from April 16th to June 20th, 18j6. The Lytton started from Revelstoke on Thursday, in command of Captain Troup, commodore of the C. P. R. fleet, and Captain Albert Forsland. A number of passengers went up. but got off when the canyon was reached to watch the steamer battle with the ripples. She made tbe trip successfully, taking up a large amount of freight, and has returned to Nakusp to% oe fixed up. Whether she will continue the Big Bend run has not yet been decided.

Raged Over the Coast Out Again. and Died It is about 40 years since any great wave of excitement on account of rich gold discoveries swept over this coast, so it is not to be wondered at that the generation which has grown up during that time has gone wild over Jtlie accounts received from Klondike, backed up by the arrival of lucky miners with their well-tilled sack of dust. It is mostly the younger people, however, who are thrilled by this excitement. The older residents of the coast have passed through a number of mining excitements since the days of '48 and '49, when the rush to California followed tbe discovery of gold in that then almost unknown and sparsely inhabited country, and rich discoveries are such an old;'old story to them that no odd* how wonderful the stories told, their nerves have become steadied and they "feel that thrill no more.** There are numbers of hale and heart v men in this city and state who took part in the rush' to California in '49, manv of them being pioneer residents of this state who went to the California mines and returned to settle contentedly on their farms, some having made a "stake," which gave them a good* start, and others to go to work to recoup themselves for their lost time and money, say6 the Portland Oregonian. For 10 years after the discovery of gold in California a succession of mining excitements passed over this coast until the country, from thcMexican line to Alaska, had been explored and found to contain rich mines. The first rush was to the valley of the Sacramento and its tributaries, then the valleys of the Klamath, the Columbia and tbe Fraser, and finally, Cariboo, Peace river and tbe Stickeen were invaded and proved more or less rich, and now the valley of the Yukon is added to the list. Thousands flocked to these streams, a few made fortunes and the many, after enduring hardships and sufferings, returned poor, naked and hungry. The swarms that invaded California in Win soon spread all over the state, and in 1850 moved over into Oregon. Rich diggings were discovered around Jacksonville, and the miners pushed their way up the Columbia into Idaho and Montana, the only route to those regions being by the valley of the Columbia. Rich mutes were found at Salmon river, 0**o Fino and many other places, and in the Bitter Root mountains and farther on in Montana. These were the days when the Oregon Steam .Navigation Company was formed, and Ladd, Reed, Ainsworth, Thomoaoti, Kamm ana others laid the foundations of their fortunes. C" ce*. loiter there wene rushes to Inica, Peace river and many other districts. Probablv about the last great rush, and one of the most disastrous of all, was to the Stickeen river, some time about IS75. Hundreds »H*gg**l their wav home from Stickeen, hare- footed, hungry aad ragged. While these various discoveries were being made on thiscoasl. gold was also found in the Antipodes. In Australia there was a rush to Halbtrat in al and Tj_. In \t_. 7,0o_ persons were milling on a mile square tract at Ballarat. and bv the end of that year had turned out iiti.OtJO.oio. In New Zealand rich mines were discovered in 1836. Such is the excitable nature of miners ami their tendency to rush off to new ami rich strikes,'that many California uniuer* went to Australia, ami manycame from there to this coast. LARORST NUUORTa. Tlie largest nuggets ever discovered were found in Australia. The 'Sarah Sands' nugget weighed _HS pounds, trov. Others weighed 185 and 144 U**M ing regno** which have of millions and millions of silver Uh' aourv* are now being staked into gold claims. But manv of the silver mines there are an rich'that there is still opiaartunity to make fortune* in silver mining. When I was in IRirango they opened a new mine mar there which waa yielding twelve ounces of silver to every sixteen ounces of ore. The gold in tiiaerreo, Sonora ami Jalisco causes but little excitement down there, Utoogh 1 really believe that Alaska has nothing to offer that will compart* with tbe Mexican gold fields.

Then in 1856 aud the years following came the Fraser river excitement, which brought riches to some and disaster to many. All who took part in the rush and excitement will pray that the country may never see such another. People went wild all over the coast, and flocked in crowds to Victoria, then principally a fort of the Hudson s Bay Company. Most of them had but little idea where the Fraser river was or how they were to get there. There were no steamers running to the Fraser, nor any for some time from Victoria to the Fraser. All the boats, canoes and dugouts available could only take a few of the i people who wanted to go, and they collected in camp at Victoria till there were, it was said, 20,000 people to celebrate the Fourth of Julv in '58, or thereabouts. Deposits of 'gold were found along the Fraser from 50 miles above the mouth to the Rocky mountains, some 600 miles, and at some places diggings as rich as those reported at Klondike were found—as at Cariboo, Antler creek and many other and lavished vast amounts of it on "the temple.'' The Spaniarils thirsted for it when they discovered America. Cortex found it in Mexico.- Pixarro in Peru, when he persuaded Atahualha to scrape together some si5.ouo.im> worth for him. The historv of its discoverv and col lection in all times and in 'all ages i* doubtless the satne. A few get rich while many go broke. The stories from Klondike are doubtless a* nearly true as can be expected. It haa always been that the farther the mine* were away the richer they were. California was an almost unkown country when gold was discovered there. The Columbia basin was wild and nnsetth-d when the miners poured up through its basin; the Fraser river ran through a wild inhospitable and far-away country when the miners forced their wav up it in canoes to look for gold, but the Klondike region is the most remote from civilixation, the most utterly isolated, uninhabited and desolate, and the climate the most unfavorable of all tbe regions where gold has vet been discovered, i .

After a careful study of the situation I am convinced that for a man who has from »3,000 to $5,000 there are much better opportunities in Mexico than in the United States. Mexico is just getting fairly started on an era of general development. Modern methotl* are being introduce intubtisiness affairs and modern machinery into manufactories.

There is an effort being made by interested patties in liessland. Nelson, Kasio ami Pilot Hay. lo have the Dominion government place an export duty 00 ore. an<l a petition is being largely circulated with this end in view. The mat ter wj*. started by the determina- tiou of tbe Le Roi oompnny t*» build a smelter across the bound ary iitie nt Norlh|»ort. Frmn this distance there appears to be some justice in the demand that the Le Roi people should not be allowed to build up the wealth of the United States at the expense of Canada, when equally available aites'can be had on this side of the line, aud the government may take this view of it. Especially is this likely from the implied threat of Premier Laurier made some time ago. to do this in case the Le Roi did go across the line for a smelter site. A distinction should be made, however, between the copper ores of Trail district and the lead ores of Slocan. There can be no feeling of offended national pride in regard to shipping the latter across the line to be smelted. The market for lead is in tlie United States, and there it will have to go. either in ore or after being smelted. The only remedy for this is a market in Canada for her own lead pro. dtiction, and thetehy avoiding the duty collected by the United States. A tux on lead ore would have to be borne directly by the mines, and in a Iditiou to the disadvantages under which they now labor, it would nieati tbe closing down of the mines completely. The smelters at Pilot Bay and Nelson have the good will of this district, ami will receive all tbe encourajrement local feeling can give, but they should depend on the advantage of location and business principles and not on the government forcing the mines to do business with them. FIGHTING A FOREST FIRE. A Sunday Blaze in the Wonderful Gulch Subdued by the Boys. A foreet 6re started in the Won. derful gulch on Sunday, and a delegation of the down-town residents rushed up to tbe office of Fin- Warden Sandilands and peremptorily demanded that he should put it out. He called out the fire brigade and some very few members responded. But the little boys of the town were all there and the hone cart was quickly got into position and a stream- playing on the flames. Mr Sandi latins is now thinking of starting a boy fire brigade for tbe protection of the city as the result of this experience. The first efforts were directed to protecting the flume, and many blazing trees had to be chopped down to do this. Then there were beaters attacking tbe flames, and after three or four hours of excellent work the fin- waa subdued. The rains since have pretty nearly put out the smoldetf agemtora, SA\D0\ ORE SHIPMENTS.
