Mayor York stated he had ordered a railing to be placed on the Springer creek bridge, us a citizen had fallen over there the other night, and got severely injured. It was a dangerous spot and the citizens must be protect ed. A communication was read from S. Gough, clerk of Nanaimo, enclos ing a copy of the curfew bylaw in force in (oat city, with the explanation that the law was not all that could be desired. City Clerk Glover of New Westminster also wrote on the same subject. The curfew bylaw fi»r this citv was then introduced and read a first time. It will c une up for a second reading next, Monday night Mayor York remarked that the law was very necessary t.> Slocan and the citizens would ti al that it woulsl have a honeficlnl rftVct on ths*. children. City Clerk Foley statnl a letter had been received, io be read at tlie court of revision, protesting against anv exemption </' church lands, as being contrary to the statutes. The mayor said the law was plain enough ou the point, but « bylaw conld be submitted to exempt the property, or the conned could refund the taxes by resolution. Aid. Bradshaw believed the latter step to be a wrong precedent to establish. If nccc.-siry, he would in troducc a bylaw to exempt church lands and it could bo submitted to the people. It was in the intercstof pub lie morals to have the church lands exempt. The mayor held that the churches were a public charge any way and it was foolish to tax then) and increase their financial difficulties. After further desultory discussion, it was felt tlie Whole matter would be threshed out at the court of revision, the question having been laid in proper form before that body. Council adjourned. of the Joker, Chapleau and Kilo interests.

It provides for a cabinet of ores at the city hall and written description of the various prospects, same to be kept on fyle by the secretary. Con Murphy, A. E. Teeter and Dr. Forin were appointed a committee to draft rules and regulations for the exchange. A communication was read from Wm. Thomlinson, superintendent of the Speculator, promising to do all he could to encourage the location of a smelter here; at the same time urging the members to use every means at their command to further the ide . Thc secretary then made a verbal report as to what had been done of late in the matter, showing that progress was beinc made. President Shatford strongly supported the ideas advanced and urged that no time be lost In placing Slocan 8 advantages asasinclter site before capitalists, ln order to support the representations, it would be well to have the offer of a free si.e made by tho townsite company committed to writing; also a reliable report on the quality and extent! f the lime do posits near the city. These obtained and the. board would hare something to work uiKin. Mayor York told nf the offer of a free smelts*r site made to him by F. Fli'tchor, fi.r the townsite company; Mr. Fletcher had stated the, same thing to Mr. Thomlinson. The town ■.ite company Would heartily support *»iy iiuivi niiMit. made to get a smelter located in Sloean. Let the board se lect a suitable site and filiyor York felt confident the townsite company would give the deed for it. At the suggestion of the president, the matter was left to the council of the board, they to approach Mr. Fletcher In a formal way and make request.for the si-4 lit. In answer to a query from, the chair, Mayor York said .unexpected difficulties had cropped up, preventing the establishment ofa bank here as soon as he had confidently believ ed. However, he had information of a hopeful character which policy forbade him divulging just yet. Slocan would get a bank in due time.

The following circular letter has been issued to the silver-lead mine owners of thc country, under date of Nov. 14th: "As you are aware, the Dominion government last spring granted a bounty for the production of pig lead., smelted and-refined in Canada, It was expected that this would have resulted in the establishment ofa refinery and consequently in better prices to tlie silver-load mine owners by reason of lower treatment charge and an assured market for their product. Unfortunately such results have not been attained.although strenuous efforts have been made. It is deemed advisable, therefore,tocall a meeting of representatives of all silver- lead mines in British Columbia for the purpose of fully considering the whole question nnd taking such action as will further and protect thc interests of all concerned. A definite plan of action will be laid before such meeting. You are requested to attend a meeting of representatives of silver-lead mines in British Columbia, to bo held at tho office of tho L<ondon <& B. C.

There is 18 inches of snow at the mine, but none at this end, and it is impossible to move anything. Atthe mine ore is "being piled up everywhere and when sleighing comes the output will be large. The Enterprise sent out 40 tons and has another car ready to lift.

It doesn't matter ln thc least to you what I came down bere for, but as you seem determined ta know I'll tell you and be done with it I represent a company of capitalists wbo believe there are rich deposits of mineral In tbls section, and my business here Is to Investigate and learn whether or not their surmises are correct. Now you know why I am here, and I hope you'll teli me without any further delay whether you are going to give me shelter for the night" "Why, yes, slr-ee, I'll shore do that I ain't no reason on earth for not tellln . ■ "I have lost tn]/ way." you, as I can see, nary a speck. Bat I wonder, now, what kind of mineral them fellers thinks they're a-goin to find down yereT "Great Ceesar, man I Let me have some sapper and a place to rest, and I'll tell you everything I know. I've been in tbe saddle all day, and I'm dreadfully hungry and tired." "Why, to be shore you must be. It Stan's to reason a feller would be hungry an tired after rldin all day. Yes, slr-ee. Guess them.fellers hain't no notion that they're a-goln to find gold around here, bave they?" "No. Say, I'm tired of all this fooling, snd I'm just going to dismount and spend the night with you, anyhow." "Why, shorely. Lord a-massy, man, you mought jest as well 'a' done tbat long ago 'stead of settin thar chewln the rag all this time." "Why didn't you tell me long ago that I might stop?' "I was alniln to; but as I said while ago, my mind got to runnln on some- thin else, an I forgot it Wonder If them fellers are Mowin to find silver lu these parts?' "No. Where sball I pat my horse?" "Jest leave him thar at the fence. I'll tote blm to tbe stable direckly. Beckon If them fellers hain't calculatln to find gold nor silver 'bout yere tbey most be a-flggerln on flndln somethln else." "Naturally." "Guess mebby It moaghtn't be Iron, now, mought It?" In spite of the fact that he was tired, hungry and annoyed, Melvln burst Into a roar of laughter. "Turner's questioning was so persistent and ridiculous that It had become amusing. Presently Melvln said: "Now, Mr. Turner. I am positively not going to answer another question until I have had supper, so you need oot put yourself to tbe trouble of asking me another thing. Do you understand?" "To be shore I do, an you'll find I ain't the man to go on askin a feller questions wben I see he don't want to be bothered with 'em. Nary time 1 ain't.

Melvln rushed Into tbe house, leaving Turner outside to put away the horse snd ponder all alone the questions that, though tbey did not affect blm In the least, interested blm deeply. And as Turner pondered an idea came to blm, for be lacked a great deal of being as much of a fool as be seemed. He stopped on his wsy to tbe stable with the horse and, nodding his bead knowingly, muttered to himself these words: "Come down yere to smell roun' for mineral! Powerful likely story, that Is, when thar ain't as much mineral in this hull blame section as a feller could pnt in a flea's ear.

CHAPTER VI. SIM surprises iiis NEioiinons. Sim Banks did not go home at once, but passed on down the street In the direction of Hicks' store. It had been his custom to go there every night to Join the little group of men who always congregated around tbe store stove in the winter and on tbe platform In front of thc door In tbe summer to loaf away their Idle hours. He had long been one of the leading sjilrits In these meetings, and heretofore be had come to them boldly, and In tbe talks that followed his voice had been heard taking nn important part. But tonight he approached wltb baiting step und shamed face and sat down quietly on the edge of tbe platform on the very outskirts of the group. He hoped no one would notice his presence, and he was careful to do notblng to attract attention to It Pap Sampson w.is tbere and Jason Roberts nnd .Ilni Thorn and a number of others, and most prominent among them all and most In evidence in the conversation was Kbcnezer Sparks. Very naturally, the subject under discussion wns the war and the battle that had that dny been fought In their bearing. Ebenezer, with wonderful effrontery, seized the tlrst opportunity to begin a rehash of the oft told stories of brave deeds performed by hlin in the Mexican war and to reannounce bis consuming desire to again tnke up a soldier's life and join In the fight and experience the dangers and hardships of war as be bad done in days gone by. Sim listened to Kbcnezer In astonishment It was a mystery to him bow a man could have tbe assurance to boast of his bravery when only a few hours ago be bad shown the very men to whom be was talking tbat he was an arrant coward. Sim knew that be had acted tbe part of a coward, and be knew that every man tbere know It and be waa resolved that if no one mentioned tbat event until be did It would never be mentioned. Ebenezer talked on for some time before Pap Sampson brought bis cane down wltb a tbump and said: "Thar, Ebenezer Sparks, that'll do. We all know rjw brave you are, so tbar ain't a grain of use In the world for you to waste your breath a-teliln us about It Lord, you made tbat all plumb plain to us today, you an Sim Banks both." "Sim don't seem to be doln much talkln 'bout tbe way be done," Jason observed, with a laugh. "Guess be believes In lettln bis actions apeak for themselves." "Lord, Jason, I reckon tbe way Sim's woman done- kind of took tbe tucks Be hoped no one would notice his ores eiioe. oaten blm," Pap said. Then, turning to Sim, be added. "Sbe kind of bit you pooty bard, didn't sbe, Sim7" "No barder'n I deserved, I guess," Sim replied dryly. "I did act tbe miserable coward, an It ain't no wonder she was ashamed of me." "Say, by granny, but that's one wny to talk, ain't It?" Jason said after s snort silence. "You ain't a bit like Et> eneser, Sim. He done more cowardly tban yon, but you won't ketch bin nwnln of It uais a time." "1 can't help nothln 'bout whnt Ebenezer does," Sim replied. "It don't do no good to deny the truth wben ev- er'body knows what I done." "You're right thar, Sim," Pap Sam|>- son said heartily. "Addis vinegar to a sound piidilin ain't goln to make it no sweeter, an nddlu a lie to another fault ain't gain to make Ihe other fault no less. Them Is gospel truths If thar ever was one outbide of thc Holy Writ, an It'd be s good thing for you, I'hcne- z.er Sparks, to tnke 'em Into your craw an digest 'em along at odd spells." "Pap Sampson," Kbenezer exclaimed, bristling i<p, "do you 'low to Insinuate thnt I been n-lylnV" "Lord, no, Ebenezer! I ain't no hand to Insinuate, but when a coward makes out like he's brave If he ain't lyln he's glttln right ship next door to It" "You better be keerful, Pap," Tlm Thorn sold, "or first thing you li tow you'll have Ebeiiezer's old woman down on you. Can't nobody make her think he ain't brave, you bet!" "She ain't much like Sim's wife, Is she?" Jason asked. Then he added: "By Jinks, I think Sim's wife cut up too rough with him. I tell you right now I'd like to see my woman try any slch capers as them on me, especially right afore folks. Lord, I'd leave 'cr so quick that It'd make her bead swim." "You ull heiiin what Mary Mann said, I guess," Jim Thorn remarked. "I been Ihinkln 'bout that, an 1 dou't know If the word sho spoke wa'n't a true word. Sim's woman did 'pear to be a right smart struck Wltb tbe looks of thut stranger, nil"— "Jim Thorn, you are a liar!" They ull looked up In astonishment, and there was Sim Banks standing among them, his eyes ablaze wltb auger and bis form trembling wltb sup- NEW ZEALAND WOMEN Pap Sampson and the rest Interfered. pressed rage. "Jim Thorn," ho repented, "you nre a liar, a dirty, cowardly, miserable, sneaktn liar, an you'll tnke back tbem words or I'll knock your head clean down your throat!" Thorn sprang to his feet and stnrti'il to run, but In an Instant Sim had hold of his collar with one hand and with the other had given bim a blow, on i!m* side of the head thnt sent blm to the floor as limp as a rag. Sim would hnve followed up his ad vantage and pound ed Thorn unmercifully, but Pap Samp son and tbe rest interfered, and live or six of tbem held him while the others got Thorn away. After It was all over and Sim bad been released tbey stood about blm for some tyne, looking at blm In silence and wltb a kind of awe. To. them be had suddenly become a new man, and tbey felt that they did not know bim. It was Hicks wbo broke the pause. . "Why, Sim," he said, "what's come over you? Who'd 'a' ever dreamed of you doin slch a thing as that?" "Let bim keep his moutb shot an quit a-ly!n 'bout Loueesy, then." Sim replied, not exactly In line with Hicks' questions. "I'll bit bim ag'ln If be dust to say slch another thing, an I'll hit anybody else that does It an I'll bit to kill." "Well, that's all right, Sim. but you jest cool down now. Jim Thorn was tbe only one that said anything, an you've done bit bim, so tbar ain't no more to do, an you'd jest as well git quiet" "My land, Sim. you shore bit blm a good un!" Jason said. "1 never see a puttier lick struck ln all my life." "An It was all done so quick," another observed. "Wby, tbem words wasn't much more'n outcn Jim Thorn's moutb till Sim was n-standln ap bere an sayin, 'Jim Thorn, you are a liar!' jest that a-way. Tben Jim starts to run, an afore I knowed it Sim bad gathered blm by tbe collar an give blm tbat lick." "An wasn't It a lick, though?" Jason said. "Wby, say. It jest keeled Jim over thar so quick tbat I bet he never knowed what done It." "1 bet be didn't know nothln touched blm—Jest flopped down thar for all the world like a shot hog. Didn't 'low It was In you to bit a feller like tbat Sim." "Lord, I reckon Sim never knowed It neither," Pap Sampson said, "but be knows It now, an you all better look out No matter bow harmless a dog Is while he's asleep, he may be tbe wust kind of a dog when you wake him up. An Sim Banks Is awake now." "An you'd all better not fool with him If yoa don't want to git hurt," Hicks added. "You'd all better not say nothln 'boat Loueesy," 81m ssid. "'less'n yoa all wants to git your beads punched." "Guess nobody hain't goln to say nothln 'bout Loueesy." Pap Sampson replied, "so you mought's well quit n-tlnowln that at us. Jim Thorn hnd no business to speak the word he did, even if It had been a true word, nn I most know It wasn't, nn you done right an mitral to take It up I'm a pence- able man myself, as you tins nil know, nn Ingln'iilly I set uiy face ng'in fnssln an foughtln. lint I ain't got nnry a word to say ag'ln a man wbat tights for bis woman's good name.

As in Hawaii, the Arst civilized women who visited New Zealand were the wives of missionaries sent out from New South Wales, and sub- w-quently from England. . These pioneer women endured hardships from which those who spout their lives in Hawaii were spared. The Maoris, or aborigines, among whom they lived, were a warlike people, and from 181*1 until their final submission hostilities were always imminent, massacres (securing in which neither age nor sex was spared. As it was u long voyage from England, only the most enterprising women hud the courage tss emigrate, and this, undoubtedly, had its effect upon the present llritish population, who, men and women both are the very flower of the llritish colonists. Tliey are surprisingly tall, athletic, with fresh, rosy complexions, and notwithstanding the enormous quantities of tea they consume, strong as lye, in huge cups, morning, noon and night. Uecause of their fewness, the women of New Zealand were treated with distinguished favor, and their children und grandchildren have reaped the benefits*. The universities have been co-educational for many yeurs, awarding women decrees with a justice that Oxford and Cambridge might well emulate. Thero are several clever young women employed upon the colonial newspapers, while others are making their way in othi*r professions, notably that of medicine. In 181)8, after severul years of persevering work, the bill legalizing universal suffrage wus passed. A franchise league, of whieh Mrs. Dal- dy of Auckland was president and Mrs. Kitson secretary, was the medium through which the preliminary work was carried on. One of the leaders of the suflrago movement wus Lady Annie Stout, the wife of the chief justice. On the day of tho first election Lady Stout officiated as an election judge, sitting all day in the polling booths in one of the worst districts of Dune- din, where she then resided. It is a remarkable fact that of the total number of women enrolled at the first election after they were enfranchised over 91 per cent, voted. After the suffrage bill was passed tho franchise league disbanded, but reorganized immediately under the title of the Woman's Political Education League. Systematic study of political questions was taken up, and the result hus been one of the most intelligent voting classes in the world. As to tho result, its entire success may be inferred from the fact that a few years ago one solitary member rose in Parliament to move the abrogation of the law; he could not get u seconder, uud sat down umid roars of laughter; it wus tho death of opposition to woman suffrage. The. women of Australia aro somewhat more conventional than those of New Zealand; and, to the ciisttiM observer, the intellectual average does not appear to bo so high- The first comers, however, who did not reside in the towns, roughed it in the bush with fathers, husbands nnd brothers, sharing their privutiona and ever-present danger of attacks from the savage black follows, ond tho still more savage bushrangers, or outluws, who were generally es- caped convicts from the penal colonies. As tho country becume moro thickly settled and comforts and even luxuries were possible, life upon tho. sheep und cattle ranges improved. The most open-handed hospitality prevailed, und still prevails; large houses parties were entertained, especially at Christmas and Easter, which were observed ns generally us at homo—o word thut the English colonists always writo with a capital letter. Native servants were not nlways to be rolled upon, unsl others were difficult to find, and tho Australian girls became, through ns*ces- aiiy, expert in domestic arts. Prank und unspoiled, tlu*y wero admirablo companions, generous ami warm-hearted, through ths* exigeu-. cicst of a situation whs'ie people wen* thrown together wilh greater intimacy than in possible in nldcr countries. As much of the continual visiting was done on horseback, Australian women living upon the ranges, young and old, were bold and fearless riders. Australia i.s somewhat behind New Zealand in tho adoption of progressive ideas; but equal suffrage is already guaranteed, being supported by the ablest men and women in tho colony. Women are admitted to the uaiver- « lion tlie Kills I'eld Toll. His Majesty has never been a defendant in a police court — not even as the owner of a smoky chimney — but the King has paid a line for tres- pnssing. When an undergrnduato at Oxford the Princo of Wales was a great huntsmaii.-Hnd few men could boat him across country. On ono occasion His Royal Highness and some Other riders galloped Into a farmyard by way ot a short cut. The farmer, a sturdy yeoman, closed the gates und told the huntsmen they must pay £1 apiece for trespass. One of the gentlemen smiled indulgently at the rustic and said; "Bul, niy good man, this is tho Prince ot Wales." Tho good ninn wns in no way abashed, and retorted: "Prince or no I'rince, I'll have my money." A".d he got it—London Tit-Bits.

A Wile's Allowance. It Is one of the most bumHIatlngele ments In woman's life In America today and one of the phases which Is most uncompllmentarlly reflective upon American husbands that a just allowance is withheld from many wives. No matter how small the allowance may be, so long as it Is fair In proportion to the Income earned, every wife should have a purse of ber own, sacred to herself and ber needs and free from tbe slightest intrusion on the part of her husband.

EDITORIAL CROl'FINUS. 'Speak well of your camp. E. V. Bodwell has swallowed his compunctions and has consented to .enter the political arena at Victoria in opposition to the government. Incidentally, lie wilt endeavor to ad -vance the interests of Jim Hill; Canada will "ly send -another contingent of mounted men to South Afi'HM. it will consist of six hundred men and be recruited in the west. .Canadians have made a record for 'themselves and more of them are rc- r*quired for the Empire's cause, Here's a gentle tip to the Miner- Graves syndicate: the only decent and respectable place for a smelter .on the lake is at Slocan. When you get ready to treat the Rockland ore, .come here, nnd the Board of Trade, .the city dads and Frank Fletcher will tell you a thing or two that will ,do you good. The Tribune won a striking victory on Tuesday, when the Nelson 'bylaw to purchase electricity from .the West Kootenay Power Company .was defeated by the property owners. The victory gained g.ve much satis- •sfaction in Slocan, because of the principle involved of municipal ownership. John Houston is still a power in the land. The complimentary remarks pass ,ed by outsiders, coupled with the general comfort experienced by the .citizens, are the best testimonial to --the council that they did well in deciding to build sidewalks this fall in jstead of waiting till next spring. Thc improvement in the appearance of the city is marked and gratifying, besides giving an air of progress and prosperity to the place. After vainly waiting months in cx- •pectation that something would eventuate from the Dominion government's proposed bounty on pig lead .smelted and refined in Canada, the mine owners of Kootenay have tnken •up tho question and will evolve some scheme for thc erection ofa refinery. It has been the belief that the gov* ',eminent would step into the breach ,and erect and operate large works nt some central point, tut it seems ns If •the golden opportunity is to be allowed to pass by and private enterprise exploit a profitable Held. Nelson (Would appear to have the inside -.track "as the site for tho refinery,hav- 4ng powerful influences at work in its favor. What makes tlie erection . of the refinery* a practical certainty '•is the united action of all the silver- lead mine owners, who will meet at Nelson on December 4 to discuss the .-situation. Added to the action ofthe mine owners is thc supjioit being accorded the schemo by both the Canadian Pacific and the Gnat Northern railways-the former in particular, tho moro so in order to hend .off its American rival. Oliver Weth- ,ered, one ofthe principals of the Lon- ,don & B. C. Goldflolds, owning in •the Ymir, Whitewater, Uuth, Enter -jirise, and other big mines, recently •interviewed Kir Thomas Shaughnessy an the subject of the refinery and has the C.I'. H.'s mighty influence in sup- i port, so tlio scheme looks like a go j It is the belief of the mine owners j that the silver-lead industry of B.C. | will be enormously benefitted liv the -refinery,principally because of lower •treatment charges on ore and n higher price for lead. May tuoii Slopes be realized. DRILL POINTS. Miss Stoughton has gone to Eholt for a while. License Inspector Black was in the city yesterday. The trail to thc Transfer was completed this week.
