The people who " have no use " railway competition would try to ru: big grocery '■ business with no other livery vehicle than a boy's handcart. The action of Ex-Premier Martttf ing with the government is looked upon as suggesting an alliance which may Suit in Mr. Martin taking a place in provincial cabinet. ;1: The government railroad measure has been introduced in the house,, but the conditions imposed are likely to prevent the construction of a competitive railway from the coast to the Kootenay. The government may. modify the conditions, but no official statement has been made. The effect of the bill is to take away from the legislative assembly all author- -lty'to' sii^rviie~the' construction™? name }he company, and, would give the government power to absolutely sacr the principle of competition^ • The sum of ^"35,000 required to defray the expenses of Queen Victoria's obsequies is jrf5000 less than the cost of Nelson's fnneral. ,Six months after Nelson another gieat figure was laid low ; Pitt was buried at a cost of ,£40,000.

To the Editor Priuc Sir,—Unlike the majority of want the people of Princeton to know definitely where I stand in regard day closing. A rumor has started through some source that I appealed to our o for Sunday closing. Tins I must phatically deny, as I am strictly in favor of what is called\\a f wide-open town." Sunday closing will not stop this daily abuse, neither will it benefit in the least degree; for once that craving desi established it is almost impossible foi victim to pass a day without the necessary -".bracers."- He will procure enough o: Saturday to suffice lor Sunday. There i no life too fast for. the western man (s few exceptions.) - Rossland, with its' preachers, priests rnd Salvation Army, does not stop the vice. Miners as a rule work from two to six months, from $100 to $300. With this money they start out for the "liveliest city neat them. The Slocan, Rossland and Boundary miners go to Spokane. The miners of •Vancouver Island and Texada Island go to Seattle. We see these two lovely •cities building: with Canadian money. The success ofthe Canadians in South Africa is due to fighting the Boers on their own plan ; and if Canada wishes to :r people and money and build es she must fight the United States the same. Give, the people their freedom. Allow them to drink and gamble without limit, for there is no game at cards that the people do not and play regardless of chances against them, and there is no brothel with too many dancing fairies. Ii Canada and tbe United-States would pass a law pro- hibiting the manufacture of intoxicating liquors it would be a godsend to all, and would, no doubt, meet the approval of | every sane person. Canada could not dertake it without suffering a seri financial strain. Enough money is being taken across the line without compelling the good drinking Canadians (and most of them are) to take it all, with the « ception of a few dollars spent for food their native land. All our rapidly growing mining camps require sary police to protect civilians against insult from the hands or mouths of| drunken men.. My solution to the problem is, force attendance to the public schools, for only by continued education will the children, see the folly of their forefathers. Wm. Knight. OTTER PLAT NOTES. Messrs. Alex. McDonald and Mclntyre passed through the Government Town on their way to Aspen .Grove, where they are largely interested in copper proper- - Mr. J: 'H.

Burns said : "If we could see ourselves as others see us." DeBarro says:' "If the Dunsmuir government could see our resources as they are, we would have a railroad to move our coal ana mine al forthwith." The establishment of a post office at Otter would be a great convenience, and would, together with the store just about to open, aid very materially in the more! rapid development of this extensive! mining section.

A despatch from Greenwood says: " During the past few days Rock creek and its tributary streams have once more become a niecca for placer gold huuters to.stake claims. The excitement is principally due to the operations' of a local company that has acquired leases and is now working below historic White s bar on this creek. Within two weeks the company will commence booming and profitable clean-up is anticipated.' "As a consequence placer land along the adjacent creeks is being rapidly staked, especially so along Baker c and the south foik of Rock creek, where pay dirt is found. Alex. BroomfieldJ Bart Ingrahatn and others have acquired leases on the former creek and A. D. Sykes, J. G. Billings, C. H. Pair and Sproat have recorded on the south fork. Since its discovery in the early sixties, Rock creek placer diggings, under t most primitive methods are reported have yielded over a quarter of a million of gold. Miners are apparently satisfied that If bed rock can be reached much more yellow metal will be discovered] During the summer extensive operations by booming the creeks will be prosecuted. Along the company's ground and on Baker creek returning prospectors say there is yet much rich dirt that will yield handsomely. Placer mining is also in full swing below the falls on Boundary creek, where sluicing is being carried on, and good results are looked for." It is not generally known that mica has become a marketable commodity, but it would appear from the following despatch from Revelstroke that it will figure materially in the exports of British Columbia in the future: "A number of people ofl Revelstroke have recently formed a syndicate to prospect in the Big Bend district for the purpose of examining into the mica deposits recently found in that district. There are two claims carrying mica situated on the north side of Sand creek, about two and o lie-half miles below Tete Jaune Cache. The veins are reported to be about 15 feet wide and are traceable for quite a distance on the surface. A number of chutes of excellent mica have been found, and many samples have been taken running from 3 to 5 to 5110 of very fine quality. "The two claims referred to are located not far from the Bonanza property, which shipped about $30,000 worth of | mica in 1899 at a big expense in tne way of transportation. It is expected that better communication will be made between Revelstroke and Tete Jaune Cache, and when this is brought about it ' will help greatly in the development of] these mica deposits." A telegram states that valuable gold deposits have been discovered in Mani- A Nelson fisherman states that last fall he found and destroyed several fish traps at Slocan Junction, and suggests that these artifices explain the heavy catches I there when the fish are hot taking other bait.
