Two feet of solid clean galena carrying large quantities of grey copper and ruby silver is the showing in the face of tbe drift, At no time previous has there been such large bodies ol reserve ore blocked out and ready to be stoped. The managei states that heavy shipments of ore to the smelter will be again resumed in a few days. This property ia being stocked and the miners working in the mine are volunteeriog their services and askint* for their pay in stock in the new company being formed. This of itself is evidence that the Noonday of Silverton Isa paying proposition. STEADY DEVELOPMENT. Among other claims on Wilson creek on which considerable development work is being done is the Jennette. This mine, for it bas virtually passed tbe prospect stage, lies up the creek about six miles from Rosebery. A force of ten men are given steady employment and the development work is being driven night and day. The mine is opened by tunnels the longest one of which is now in .'1-tO leet. The ore from this vein gives assays ranging from 200 to 800 ounces to the ton. Preparations are being made to work a large force of men on this property during (he ensuing winter aud large buildings are being erected for their accuumiodation. The I Jeannette will ho ainon** the lirst ol the I Boeebery mines to become a shipper, NUMBER il THE GALENA MINES, Tho new owners of the Galena Mines have stated, in late interviews granted newspaper representatives, that they intend to commence operations at once on that property. That they intend lo expend a large amount of money on improved machinery and that a concentrator will be among the first things to be erected. This is encouraging news to the citizens of Silverton, many of whom believe the Galena Mines to ono of our biggest properties. It is to bo hoped that the statements given out are correct and Ihat Mr. Hand the new manager will have work commenced at once on Ihi* near-by property But I hear it callin' still, as down to rest, An' I dream the Voice never lied, That I hear a people comin' People of tbe West An' maybe 'twas his voice to guide. —Clive Phillips-Woolley in London Spectator, I lay me I love has the Great callin' ms ADVERTISING TUE FACT- steady Till'.

Charles A. Mackay, President of the Nelson Miners' Union, and the accredited representative of the min ers' unions at Nelson. Sandon, Rossland, Whitewater, Ymir and Silverton, is in the city. He is in tho east to impress the fact that a miners'strike is in progress in the Kootenay country, British Columbia. His presence is due, he says, to the fact that the mine owners have bad an agent here seeking to engage miners under contract to work in the mines that 'lo not pay the union wages. He has been at Rat Portage, Sudbury and Parry Sound, and will proceed from here to Nova Scotia to notify tlie miners there. On June 1 last a law came into io rce in Hiitish Columbia making eizht hours a day's work iu the minea. The work before tbat was done in ten hour shifts and the wages paid were $3.50 a day. With the decreased honr. a number ol the mine owners cut down the pay 50 cents a day and the men went on strike. At present only about a third oi tha total number of mints are not paying the union bcnle ot wages. No fixed scale waa eel by the unions, but they demanded that the same amount thould lie paid for eiuht hours' work as had heretofore been paid for ten. The chief difficulty is in the Slocan country, where Mr Mackay says the mine owners are nearly all Americans.—Toronto ;ilobe. -•ragca over six feet in width ill traced a long disl.mcc. bum lost in getting to work on it. a 'mnletcoulflt being sent up Wednesday fde property will now 1)0 thoroughly •.oped.

The New Denver Ledge with its usual inaccuracy in giving mining news, comes out with a blathering piece about tbe Noonday mine of this place, leading the public lo believe tbat Ihe present management, Stewart Bros, and Penedum. had sold out or wero about to transfer their lease and bond and interest acquired by I hem to Percy Dickenson of Slocan City, and that Mr. Dickenson bad THE WESTEHN PIONEER.

About one mile from Rosebery and joining tho Royal Five Group is the Plaple Leal claim, This property is one [I Hoselrery's most promising prospectB snd is owned by tt.

The vein, which is IS inches to three feet wide, has «en traced, on the property, for over 1 feet, numerous open cuts have been fUO on it and a shaft started, on which lionsiderable work will be done this ■■winter.

It appears that Percy Dickenson, ol Slocan City, has purchased, for cash, from the other owners, their interests, amounting to three quarters, and subject to the boud given by them to Stewart Bros, and Rer.edum. Tbe piice was slightly less than that for which tho bond calls. Mr. Dickenson will mako as profit the difference between his pun base price and that which he will receive from Stewart Bros, and Benedum when they take up tho bond on the property, which without doubt they will do when due, if not before. THE NOONDAY. Ore is a^ain being brought down from VANCOUVER GROUP, The Vancouver company which is operating the Vancouver Group above Silverion, has lately been reorganized and made much stronger. The object ol thus strengthening ihis company was to enable them to pursue operations on a much larger scale than formerly. An era of deep mining will be inaugurated by this company and tho question as to whether there is 11 body <>l galena ore underlying tbo lino r,ono in that property demonstrated. This company has so far boen very sucuessful iu their mining operations and have always |had the very best of managers in charge ot their Rut I cannot strike the home trail. I would uot if I could, \n'I want no othe'r smoke across my skv; When I drop, I'll drop alone, asalone I've alius stood, On thc frontier where I've led, let me die. I wonldbn't know men's language, I couldn't think their thought, I couldn't bear the hurry of mankind ; Where every acre's built on, where all God made is bought. And they'd almost made a hireling of the wind. I've been alius iu the lead since I grew grass high, Since my lather's prairie schooner left the Known, For a port beyond the sky line, never seen hy human eye, Where God aud God's creation dwell alone. Way back 1 heard men callin', one woman's voice waa (ond, An' Ihe rich lands towards harvest murmured, ''Rest." But a sweeter voice kept callin' from the Unexplored Boyoud, A wild voice in tho mountains callin' "West." I heard il in the foothills—then I climbed the Great Divide; In the Canyon—then I faced the rapid s Io the little bre<»se at dawning, in the dusk at eventide, The voice that kept a callin' went before Mv crooked b'inds aro empty, my six-* io,1 frame is bent, There ain't nothing but my trail to leave behind. An' the voice that I havo followed has not told me .vhat it meant, Work on tbe new school house was commenced on Wednesday by tho local contractors. Work on the Rathborn cottage is nearing completion and that building will be one of the neatest and cosiest dwellings in the camp. Several of our young folk attended a social dance ln New Denver last Thurs- j day evening. The "Alert" made a I special run for tbe visitors. All Wilds, B. Kneebone, J. Connor I and R. A. Sait, who are interested in ! some good properties near Slocan City, ! returned to Silveiton on Wednesday, W. C. E. Koch, who has numerous freighting and road building contracts in the Silverton district, will erect a large barn on the Lake front, for tho accommodation of bis work stock. I'. I.. Chiislie, Barrister of Sandon B. 0. will be at the Selkirk Hotel every Friday iu tbe future. Anything requiring his services will he attended to by bin. + G. W. Grimmett of Sandon will conduct the services iu the church to-morrow in the place of Rev. A. E. Robert, who will occupy a Nelson pulpit. Service will commence at 3 p. m. as usual. The house being erected for J.M. M. I Benedum on Lake Ave., is uow ready for lhe lathers. Mr. Benedum's new- cottage will make a beautiful home, and is a credit to our enterprising townsman. All work in tbe Jewelry Repairing line, left at lhe Silverton Drug Store, will be promptly forwarded to Jacob Dovei, the well-know 11 Nelson jeweler. All repairs are quakantekh i-*ok onk, ykak. * A subscription list was drawu up last Monday evening to raise funds for the Football Club and before the business houses bail closed, over *f50. bad been turned into the treasury. As all thc games played by tho team are free to spectators, a subscription is tbe only expense-raising scheme open to the Club. A. P. McDonald has secured the Silverton agency for the sale of Lethbridgo coal aud expects to do a good business in black diamonds this winter. As there is no better coal mined than tbe Lethbridge product, we have no doubt that Mr. McDonald's energy will be substantially rewarded. The first carload of coal will be here next week. It is said that Slocan City is preparing a challenge (or tbe local footb:*ll club to meet tbe Slocan team next week. New Denver is also said to be practising fur a game. Sil.erton has played np to date ten matches. Allot Slocan City's games have been with the red and white, they having won one of the matches, drawn one and lost two. Could not New Denver and Slocan City be brought together? The Silverton Literary Society held its first regular meeting on Wednesdav evening, with a good attendance.

LIBERAL CONSERVATIVES UNION As will be seen by our advertising columns, the Liberal-Conservative Union will hold its annual meeting in New Westminster on the 5th of Oetober next. The meeting should have some very interesting matters to discuss, and the ex peeled announcement of a genera' election, which many of our eastern exchanges are propheoylng, should mako tbe meeting an eventful one for Conservatives in British Columbia. The Union bas a good local membership and doubtless a strong Silverton deelgation will be present when President Wilson calls the meeting to order in New Westminster, prof.

Many Spanish prisoners are escaping from the Filipinos and bringing into the American lines stories of hard treatment. They agree that the Filipinos are exceedingly short of rutions,and that a large see- lion of their troops is reduced to the use of home made black powder. Thc unknown woman who registered at thc Lindell hole! in Hastings, Neb., as Mrs. W. L.

Spokane, Sept. 4.—Thc first gambling; house holdup in Spokane since the exciting clean out of the Le Roi a year ago happened at 3:45 o'clock Sunday morning in Harry Green*! hall over Alladio'a restaurant. Two masked men wilh four heavy caliber guns robbed the place of about $1700 in gold, silver and bills. They escaped unmolested through the rear halt- ways nnd by the back entrance. ln their llight they were pursued by Merchants' Policeman Richard Gemmrig. On Brown street, between Riverside and Sprague avenues, and on Sprague between Brown and Bernard, a fusillade of more than a dozen shots was exchanged between the officer and the highwaymen. Ou Sprague avenue near the corner of Iter nard, Ocmmrig fell to the pavement with a bullet through his groin. He waa conveyed to the Protestant hospital, whero he now lies in a serious condition. Whft hopes for the best are entertained, there is grave fear that his wound will prove fatal. One of the two highwaymen was cap tured a few moments after Gemmrig was shot. His place, of hiding in a clump of bushes in a vacant lot on First avenue near Bernard street waa surrounded by ofllcers. Having thrown away hoth his gun*, he surrendered and was pulled from his hiding place by Patrol Driver Freeman, who had joined in the chase. Evidence against Jack Williams, the captured robber, as the man who shot C'emmrig, eould scarcely be stronger if a dozen persons had stood by and watched him file the shot. Frank Fair, aged 23 years, who gives his occupation ns machinist, was arrested on Howard street Sunday on suspicion of being the second highwayman. He is said to answer thc description closely. He was arrested by Ollicer Brusch. Fair is an ex-convict. He is said to have served more than one term in thc penitentiary for crime. THE BEV0LUTI0N AT AN END. IK A Provisional Uovcriuueiit-New Cabinet Selected—J linen* s, th* Maw Pres- .. ldeut— Their People Seem Satlsfled-No Mure Bloodshed. Santo Domingo, Sept. 2.—The revolutionists have formed a provisional government with Horatio Varque. as president. A complete cabinet has been selected. There wna some disorder here, but no ono wus injured. Dreyfus Trial. Rennes, Sept. 3.—Elation is the only word that expresses the feelings of the Dreyfusurds after Saturday's proceedings. The tide has turned at last, they say, and Dreyfus cannot be condemned after the evidence given. The spirits of the Dreyfusurds ure .jnit.- mercurial. Every day since the opening of thc trial has seen them rise or fall. Recently they have been falling heavily, the close of the morning sessions generally finding them in anv ious conversation, accompanied by oniin ous shaking of their heads. Today's buoyancy, therefore, is all thc more noteworthy. Friday was a fairly good day, but Saturday's session, they claim, put the verdict out of doubt and the judges must acquit Dreyfus. Port Au Prince, Huiti, Sept. 2.—The revolutionary forces of Santo Domingo occupy Puerto l'luta and Santiago. A provisional government has been established at Santiago. The arrival of Jimenes is momentarily expected. , New York, Sept. 2.—A dispatch from Santo Doming.) says: There is little doubt that Jimenes will noosed to the presidency as soon as he arrives. Tlie peace and tranquility which pervade the city ure in marked contrast with the conditions that existed a few yeurs ago and show how popular the revolution is with the musses. Apparently the entire island is satisfied the change in government promises improved conditions. The newspapers all urge moderation on the part uf the revolutionists and advise all citizens to refrain from disturbance. Kigueroa was permitted to reach hia home unmolested, aud the revolutionists everywhere are behaving with thc utmost moderation, even going so far as to pay for the property taken und supplies used. lt is believed thut ull lighting is over and that with the arrival of the leaders of the revolution on Sunday to take charge of the government all cuuse for alarm will have been removed. Yesterday was the climax to the government. The government was powerless to retard the progress of the revolution. Word had come that all tlie principal towns in the interior on the north side had gone over. Added to this hud come news that another hurricane was forming and that the United States cruiser New- Orleans and the French cruiser would he left to the mercy of the revolutionists. Business was practically at a standstill, and chaos reigned. People dared not stir from their homes at night. ln this dilemma came Figueroa's announcement that he would resign in order to prevent bloodshed and at once ihe situation changed. Sliniii Wnr In tiermany. Berlin, Sept. 3.—Thc anny maneuvers, which will begin today and end September 15th, will be of more than usual in- teiest and importance. The operations w ill be conducted on the same grounds and largely patterned after the Napoleonic campaign of 1805. Half the troops engaged, the Fifteenth corps, will approach the opposing forces, tlie Slxieeuiti corps, by forced mar, lies through the Black forest passes. After striking the plains thc corps will operate along both sides of the river. The decisive action will probably occur in Wurtemburg, between Stuttgart and Ludwigsburg. Big reviews ut C'uilsruhe, Strasburg aud elsewhere will precede the maneuvers. Emperor William strongly hopes to see some strategic surprises. A noteworthy feature of the maneuvers will be the presence of a number of distinguished military men from other countries. INIJirSTrtlA- nOTKa.

I., Sept. 3.—The first of the formal trial races between the Columbia and Defender for the purpose of selecting a yacht to sail against thc Shamrock in defense of America's cup resulted in so decisive a victory for thc new b.iat that were it not for the fact that it is desirable to have her race as much as possible, other contests would seem almost useless. The yachts sailed one of thc regulation 15- mile windward and leeward courses in an eight-knot breeze that increased on the beat out and flattened out on the finish, and it took the Columbia just six minutes and 40 seconds less time to cover the distance than it did the Defender. British Tara on Strike. London, Sept. 5.—Tlie general strike of thc seamen and steamer firemen which has been threatened for some time, was declar ed yesterday, the ship owners refusing to accept the invitation of the seamen's and firemen's union for a conference in regard to fixing thc rate of wages for firemen and sailors at a slight advance on the average wugea now paid in the various British ports.

Boiler —'.plosion In Pittsburg. Pittsburg, Sept. 2.—A boiler explosion at the Republic Iron Works on South Twenty-fourth street shortly before daylight killed live men and seriously injured seven. The mill was partly wrecked and the entire plant was compelled to close down. The explosion occurred just as the night force was leaving, and the duy force was coining on duty, so there were only a few men in the mill at the time.

Washington, Sept. 2.—General Frank, commanding tlie department of the gulf, has telegraphed the war department that four cases of yellow fever have appeared at Key West, and asked instructions. In reply, General Miles sent telegraphic instructions directing the removal of Hie garrison at Key West to such a point as Frank may deem best, but suggesting Fort McPherson. 'Ilie garrison at Key West is composed nf Batteries B and N, First artillery. There are no cases among the troops. Hampaon to Retire From Service. ■Washington, Sept. 2.—At the conclu sion of the Dewey celebration, it is announced, Admiral Sampson will be relieved of the command of the North Atlantic squadron. This action is taken at the request of Sampson, who has already had much more than his portion of sea service in hia grade. Admirals Furquhar and Remcy arc prominently mentioned to succeed Sampson. pav J1 a box tc hop pickers, The machinery for tho new flouring mill at Lewiston, Idaho, has been shipped aud Is expected to arrive soon. An employers' association representing from $7,000,000 to $9,000,000 of local capital, has been organized ln Spokane. Plenty of hop-pickers are reported ln the Puyallup and White river valleys. Picking will not commence before September 12. The straits of San Juan de Fuca are reported alive with salmon. The run of {all salmon Is expected to reach the island traps within a few days. The Victoria District Farmers' Institute has appointed a committee to look into the question of establishing a cooperative creamery In the district. The Puget Sound Oyster Company has bought about 1500 acres of oyster bed land near Union City, and ls planting it to native and eastern oysters. A phenomenal run of fall salmon Is now making toward Commencement bay, near Tacoma. Each trap brings to the scow lying alongside anywhere from 2,500 to 4,000 fish. Indians from as far north as Queen Charlotte sound are pouring into Tacoma ln their canoes en route to the Puyallup valley hop fields, attracted by the offer of $1 per box for hop pickers. A train load of twenty cars ot sheep went from Ellensburg, Wash., to Armour k Co., of Chicago, and a similar train Is expected to leave every week for the next month. Prices are good and there has been considerable rivalry among the buyers. Three hundred cayuse horses passed through Goldendale, Washington, en route to The Dalles for shipment to the Linton cannery near Portland. They came from the reservation and are the property of a number of Indians. They were sold for $2 per head. Portland oyster dealers are excited on account of the Morgan Oyster Com pany, of San Francisco, having contracted for nearly the entire output of oysters at Shoalwater bay, paying, lt ia said, $2.50 per sack for them and furnishing the sacks required It Is reported from Mount Vernon that it Is conceded by all that the thous ands of acres of oats, which promised prolific yields, are a total loss, as the continuous rains have packed the stalks into the ground as if a heavy roller had passed over them. There Is a fruit-paper famine ln Roseburg, Ore., the entire supply for wrapping pears and peaches being suddenly exhausted in the middle of the shipping season. Several tons of this paper were shipped, but the fruit crop was so large thut the supply proved In* a-<rq-_t«. C. A. Beaver, living between Jacksonville and Medford, Oregon, is building a new fruit drier and warehouse, lt will have a capacity of 3000 pounds In 24 hours. Mr. Beaver has about 30 acres of young fruit trees which will yield this season about one ton to the acre of very choice prunes. Salmon canning in British Columbia for the season of 1899 has ceased. The completed returns are not at hand, and may not be for several days. A week before the end of the season the pack promised to show up well. Fraser river was put down for 360,000 cases, against 205,000 cases last year. The treasury department has advised American customs officials on Puget sound that fishermen who find themselves In over five fathoms of water at hlgn tide for a distance of seven miles from the eastern shore of Point Roberts, toward Blaine, are almost certain to be fishing in American waters. The destruction of the oat crop and the late hay covering not only the whole coast, part of British Columbia, but also tho Kamloops plateau, by the late 15 days' rain, is a calamity which must be generally felt in all interests through the province. The loss of much of the crop on the lower Eraser valley Is due to the scarcity of workmen, nearly 10,000 of whom are employed in the Fraser fisheries, and nearly one-third of this number are from the building trades, who while they were earning $3 per day at their trade, had been allured to gamble ln fish, and as It has turned out have averaged $25 per day. The building progress has been seriously retarded by the desertion of even the most skilled workmen to engage in the fishing enterprise.

Manila, Sept. 3.—Argogula, the most impie!>nuble stronghold of the bunds which have been destroying plantations and levying tribute on the people of Negros, was taken by the Sixth infantry under Lieutenant Colonel Byrne. The only means of reaching Ihe town was up un almost perpendicular hill, covered with dense shrubbery and a thousand feet high. The Americana accomplished this under lire, although nn ollicer and several men were hit aiid rocks were rolled down on them. The nativestrehgth was estimated at 400. -Many of Ihe rebels were wounded and captured and 21 were killed. The American for.es captured a quantity of stores and destroyed (he fottill.'U- tions. The shipping coinmi*»ioncr at Manila, a Kilipino hitherto iu high standing, has been arrested, charged with appropriating a half mouth's salary and levying month- ly thereafter an assessment from all the native sailors shipped from this port, lt is represented that he held a commission iu the insurgent army and was raising funds for the insurrection, but it is thought thai his operations were merely private blackmail. The Insurgents made an unsuccessful attempt to drive Colonel Smith's command out of Angeie. with artillery, the lirst time Ihey have attempted to use this arm for muni lis. They brought two Krupp guns from Porta and tired eight shrapnels at the town at dawn. Only a few of the shells exploded and the aim of the gunners being had no damage was dene. Lieutenant Kenney's guns of the First artillery were brought inlo action immediately and soon drove the enemy from their position. Hoera Await the Outbreak. Cape Town, Sept. 2.—Reports received here from various outlying districts of the Transvaal describe them as being in a state of excitement. The burghers, it i- said, are watching the developments keenly, but the majority of them hope for a peaceful settlement of the crisis.

The result of the queen voting contest for the state fair is increasing ln Interest daily. Governor Steunenberg and party will accompany the volunteers on their journey home. Rain has improved the ranges In all parts of the state, and stock is in excellent condition. The state militia is showing up In good shape, and ull the members seem to be taking an active Interest. The Idaho volunteers who left Manila on the 3l8t ult., on the transport Grant have reached San Francisco. Large shipments of apples, plums and peaches are being made from this state to the eastern market this year. Mining interests in the Nine Mile country are such as would indicate a boom in that vicinity ln the near future. Frost injured the vines of potatoes, beans and melons In the northern part of the state last week. The damage will not be great. The Boise Gun club has accepted the challenge of the De Lamar club for a match, and the event will come off on September 15 in Boise. Ralph Drought, son of Henry Drought, a merchant ot Wardner, was run over by the O. R. k N. passenger train. He was deaf and dumb. The grain harvest In Ada county Is almost complete; threshing Is ln progress and threshers report grain turning out better than was expected. The prospect of the main line being brought through Boise has already had a marked effect upon the real estate market and property is rapidly advancing In price. The three-year-old daughter of George Merrill, living near Nampa, was killed last week by a colt, which kicked her, the hoof striking directly over the heart. The work of computing the assessed valuation of the state as equalized has been completed. The total shows It to bo $40,248,412.33, as against $30,423,- 671.95 last year. Attorney Sam McFarland, brother of R. McFarland, ex-attorney general for the. state, now a resident of Lewiston, arrived in Kendrick last week greatly exhausted, after being lost In the mountains for nbout 15 hours. The total assessed valuation of the railroads for the state Is $8,290,4r.2, of telegraph lines $94,799.31, and tiie telephone lines $51,169.76. The first conn. ty In assessed valuation Is Ada with $"),180,271, the second Latah with $4,038,907.26. Complete returns of Lewlston's assessor show the valuation of taxable property ln the city to be $830,912.80, a gain over last year of ver a quarter of a million of taxable property. The number of school childron In the district by the census just taken Is 1031, a gain over last year of 231. George Flood, a motorman In tho Hunker Hill mill yards, was making a coupling between a lumber car and another car, when the brakes slipped, starting the train, which threw him ofT his balance.

One of the ofllcers of the regiment was killed, one was wounded and one died from dis- ease: 24 men were killed and 128 were wounded and nine died. Affairs In Trntiavaul. Undnn, Sept. 3.—Judging from surface indications an altogether new phase seems to have come over the Transvaal crisis. The tables have been turned and now if is Joseph Chamberlain, the seere- tarv of state for the colonics, who proposes further conferences. In this and other respects the official negotiations present a more pacific uspeet than last week. But with the bare exception of these negotiations every other circumstance points to war. Whether, as has been suggested iu these dispntehes, higher powers thtu Mr. Chamberlain have interfered in the interests of peace or whether the secretary has taken a leaf out of the book of President Kruger, of the Transvaal, meaning proems!ination, can scarcely lie determined at Ihis stage. An English (Ind.) clergyman refuses to pay poll tax on the ground that he is church property; the property of the congregation as much as is the pastoral residence, and that, aa such, he Is exempt from taxation, the same as the parsonage. To prevent the bursting of water pipes when freezing a uew Invention has an expansion chamber formed ln the upper side of a section of the pipe, filled with air, which Is compressed by the expansion of the water to Increase the area inside the pipe. One of Uncle Sam's Alaskan Islands can boast the largest stamp mill In the world. It has r.40 stamps, and crushes quartz enough daily to give $8,640 In gold, which the other mills ln the plant Increase to $14,000. In 1886-7 there were 209!) professors and Instructors at all the universities of Germany. In 1896-7 the numlier was 2494, an increase of 19 per cent In a decade. Some Paris friends of one of the victims of the Bourgogne disaster have offered the sum of $30,000 as a reward for any one who will give an Impetus to the discovery of life-saving apparatus.

The trouble in the Slocan, .raised by the issuance of the Mite Owners' Association's ultimatum iu th. matter of wages and the proper resenting of the same by tho miners, will toon V*<*> over and work be resumed in the mines at union wages. We venture to say that never in the history of miuing in the Rocky Mountains has a strike been won against such apparently overwhelming odds as in this one, where capital was fully organized to opposo their men. But, backed by u friendly government, held up by public opinion and officered bv determined •nd conscientious men, tho miners of the Slocan are teaching the world what can be done ia a righteous cause by organized working men against the arrogant demands ot capital. By their determined stand, their solid front and gentlemanly behavior, they have set an example and won the admiration of their fellow workmen throughout the Dominion. This strike has shown that British Colombia has more honest workingmen and fewer scabs than any other mining country on the American continent Columbia. ^ Not less interesting was the speech of Jos. Martin, M. P. P., who followed Mr. Mclnnes. After detailing tbe events leading up to his dismissal, he spoke of the present plight of the government snd the probability of an earlv election. We quote below some portions of his speech. "Some of my friends sny 'But if you do yon will let in the Turner party.' II the Turner party have a majority behind them they ought lo be in power.

SOVEREIGNTY OF THE PEOPLE. Tit. Keynote Struck by Mclnnes and Jos. Martin on Labor Day. wanted everything for themselves; they were honest aliont Ihst. Bui that principle is dead in this province. But I know Ihers is no danger of _ Iheir being returned again; the Colonist, the chief ol tltem, admits that tbey are dead. Whether we want it o> not, JWO may depend upon it there is bound to be a general election in this province just ss soon as tbe hou.*e meets. In August last vear the government was dismissed because tbey did not have the confidence ol the country, and we came into power and justified His Honor and I was heartily in sympathy with that principle. When a government has lost the support of the house, it should so. Not in six months, but immediately. But here wc are in the same position again. A government which has not the sympathy of the people is administering the affairs of the people, and are allowed to deal with grave questions Involving large amounts of money. If Mr. Cotton were to run attain in Vancouver, and I speak advisedly, he could not save hia deposit; and yet he is the master ot the situation. And if we should have a general elec. tion, in what way nre we to deride? Things look rather chaotic. Some say, give ns party lines, hut how are vou and I, after denouncing the*. •,Ottawa g vern ment, going to array ourselves on tlie side of those who break their p.edges to British Columbia? Did not Mr Mclnnes give the keynote when he said the sovereignity of the people! Is not that a principle broad enough for us to stand on? The principle tbat a member is only a member elected to do Ihe duty demanded bv bis constituents?
