Between two and three o'clock, Officer Lawder, who was on duty on Copper street, discovered a fire under Henton's barber shop, in the Pacific block and at once turned in the alarm. The volunteer fire department was soon on the ground, and two streams commenced playing on the flames. It was found impossible to save the Pacific hotel, and the efforts of the birgade were directed to save: the buildings in the vicinity. A hose was connected with the Silver street hydrant, and. two streams were directed to the rear of the buildings.-'.' In a.'. short time the Windsor hotel on the south, and. Hallett's & Shaw.'s law office on the north of the Pacific were in flames. The department did good work on the Windsor, saving the shell of. the building,-although the inside work and furniture were completely destroyed, or so badly damag-ed that, they are valueless. Hallett & Shaw's building and contents were so badly damaged that the loss wiirbe a total one. .-.., '������ The heaviest loosers by:the fire.will be Madden. & Dallas of the, Pacific. Their building-,and contents cost about; $14,000, insured .for $4,900. .The Windsor hotel will -be a partial loss.' Insured for $3,500; value of .building and contents about$15,000. ...The..building\" is; owned by ,.'F... S... Barnard of Victoria, and leased by W. E. Weeks, i Henton's barber shop and contents, valued 'at about $1,200; insured for $500. Hallett & Shaw's loss will be about $2,000; insured for $750; Henry Sauve; no insurance, loss about $200, Greenwood Trading- company, loss by damage to goods about $200. The fire is supposed to have been the work of an incendiary. An investigation was held in the court house on Thursday afternoon before Police Magistrate Hallett, and considerable evidence taken, but as part of the evidence was taken with closed doors, the result cannot be made known. NOTES. Captain Hallett of the fire department, acted as chief, in the absence of Chief Nelson, and did excellent work, as also did Wiison and McKenzie. In fact all the members of the department did excellent work. The department need metal nozzles d.nd canvas hose, and will make application at the next meeting- of city poses. In future it will be kept full,J with the overflow from the tank in- o ��� stead of from the feeder. ��� An extra nig-ht-watchman has been put on by the mayor, and a strict watch will be kept on all parts of the city. Persons who have been hanging around and picking- up odds and ends will do well to take warning- and leave town. - ��� ��� - ��� ^' There were the usual humorous incidents connected with the fire. A well known young mining engineer of the city suddenly became possessed.of an idea and acted upon it. He saw the sug-ar bowls in the dining-room of the Pacific, and with laudable presence of mind threw them out of the window. The .bowls were saved. He carried\" a number of chairs out of the hotel and deposited them safely on Greenwood street. ./���'.���.������'���. ���'<.'.' ������.��� A- prominent insurance ;man; con-, eluded that two men were too many on one nozzle, so tackled the job alone. It took six men to resuce the insurance agent. The nozzle didn't need rescuing-. ; ���Madden & Dallas will commence rebuilding-at once. For the present they are in temporary quarters in the Barrett block. : Hallett ��S?Shaw will build. Henry Sauve had opened out in his old premises'Thursday .'i evening-; ��������� Mr. Weeks; of the Windsor, was opened for business a-few hours'after the fire, but it will be some time before the upper portion of the building^ is ready for occupation. ��� ,-, . ;'\" CITY COUNCIL.

Smith is authority for the statement that it is the largest discovery made in the district. ...���'������- Frank Greenwood and Ned Bennett, returned Wednesday from West Copper camp, where they had been doing work on the Red Warrior group for the past two months. The surface showing on the property is about 40 feet in width. A shaft has been sunk on the ore to a depth of 28 feet and it is the intention to sink to the SO-foot level and then drift and crosscut. The ore is a hematite iron, giving- fair g-old and copper values. Geo. Cook is at present doing development work on the Jim in Camp McKinney No. 2, south of Wellington I camp. The showing on the property is one of the larg-est in the district. The ledge is 200 feet wide on the surface and has been stripped, at intervals, for j a distance of 500 feet. The work so 1 far consists of surface crosscutting. j Values are coppei-gold, running- from i $13 to S28. Adjoining the Jim and on | the same ledg-e are the Lone Star and , Union. A 25-foot shaft has been sunk on the Lone Star, and four assessments done on the Union.

Grand Forks Miner: \"Certain public men belong to the porcine variety.

The editor of the Miner has perhaps heard the old saying about people living in glass houses. Hon. Joseph Martin, for he is stil- an honorable, makes a fair proposition. He is willing to test his strength in this constituency against either the Hon. F. L,. Carter-Cotton, Mr. C. E. Tistlale, M. P. P., or both. In bur judgement Mr. Martin would beatthem so badly that neither of them would know their names after election day. Will they accept Mr. Martin's challenge and take chances ? He, like a knight of old, has thrown down the gauge; but it will never be taken up. Cotton fears the popular vote, and Tisdale���-well, he is satisfied as things go.���Vancouver World. .

So while every other government constituency in Kootenay was. represented at the caucus; Kellie was pottering- about Front street and doing the \"working man'' act round the Central an per usual. Do not blame Kellie. If he had gone he might have to make up his mind whether to pin his political faith to Cotton or nail the Martin black flag to his political mast.

ANOTHER BIG STRIKE. Made on Copper Creek Up the Main Kettle River. W. S. Keith, M. E-, has returned from a trip up the Main Kettle river. During his absence Mr. Keith visited the Lottie F., upon which a'big- strike has recently been made. The Lottie F. is located on Copper \"'��� creek, a tributary of the main river, which empties about 25 miles above Canyon creek. The Lottie F. was located by Feeney and Ferney, two tenderfeet, who were making- their first prospecting- trip. Tnere is an enormous body of ore but sufficient development work has not been done to determine its character. It is known; however, that rich bornite is found everywhere for a distance of 300 feet.. An, 8-foot shaft has been sunk and from the bottom of this shaft samples have been taken that run 40 per cent, copper and $3 in g-old. The ore which Mr. Keith broug-ht down from the claim is., similar in appearance to the King- Solomon ore. Mr. Keith ^also reports that he met Patsy Clark's expert going- up to examine the Silver Dollar, Peterson's Canyon creek property. Barbarian Brown's experts are up Beaver creek' examining- the property , upon which the recent strike was made. OUR MILL OUTSIDE MILLS. Grinds B.C. wheat.

Ltd, I ^sransesKsssiBa^^ Is Mining-A Gamble. , If this question ' can be properly answered in the affirmative, where will the line be drawn between a game \" of chance and a legitimate business? But mining, as the word is defined, is not gambling, nor is a miner a gambler. His occupation is a legitimate one, divested of that hazard, as hazard is defined, which when indulged in destroys all the finer instincts and sensibilities of man, and . reduces him to the level of! inferior animals. Mining is .shorn of these distructive attributes. It is as harmless to the mentality of a man as is merchandising or banking or the rearing of children. The element of hazard is eliminated from it. The gambler. is one who games or plays for money or other stakes. The gambler's gain is another man's loss, , his loss is another's gain. The turn of a card or of a wheel changes ��� the ownership of money. The element of chance enters wholly in the change. Industry, perseverance, intelligently directed, labor and knowledge of the (use of mining appliances determine the fortune .of the miner. If gold be in his ground he makes; if he loses he simply loses what he has taken from the earth and his labor. There is no gamble .about it. He has only failed in a legitimate business. But reason asone may and say what he will, the thoughtless will so often repeat the worn-out expression that ���'Mining is a gamble\" that the other thoughtless will accept it as a truism and adopt it as a rule of action and gamble away their substance and their brains. That is about all the harm the misused words can do. Levelheaded men will follow the occupation of mining, and gamblers will court the presence of the tiger, and four aces, without the lines of either converging to the same point or touching each other. There is no-affinity or community of interest between the miner and gambler. They work on different layouts.���Western Mining World. g�� *$\"' *^' '& *&, \"i* '$f *$\"' \"i* *i* ,^-\"4*,-*^* *���&\"' \"^ *$\"' -jf*' *^* 'si\"' \"S* '&\"w\"w \"*\"' *tP 'w^Z \"5* ' ' '..'���_The Best Beer in Town is Made by The..... *s* y i V , -HARTINGER '��� f -ropriclors. er mi t PATERNIZE HOME INDUSTRY. =* * LIMITED.

There is a bare quorum of members in the city council. Should one mem- , ber resign, fall ill or leave the city no municipal business could be transacted and there would be no municipal machinery to fill the vacancies outside of an appeal to the lieutenant-governor in council. In view of the fact that $30,- 000 worth of city debentures has been sold and the money will soon be available for civic improvements, it is of the highest importance to the city that the council should be composed of men who are capable of expending, the money in a judicious manner. The scarcity of men around the council board is not due to a lack of properly qualified men in the city, but is the natural outcome of the tactics that were introduced by the majority of the council at the outset of their municipal career. No self-respecting citizen would sit at a council board to find that he was without influence, that everything was cut and dried before the meetings of the council, and that his voice and vote was of no avail. It is safe to say, however, that the mistakes of the early part of the year were the result of a lack of knowledge of the proper conduct of municipal affairs and an absence of those amenities which public men usually show towards their opponents and not because of any desire on the part of those injauthority to mismanage the affairs of the city. One of the lessons which experience teaches is that the public interest is of greater importance than the glorification of an individual. The only way that men properly qualified can be induced to accept seats in the council is by a relization of the fact that they must be left free to act according,to their best judgment and not at the dictation of any one man or his supporters. If they were approached upon the grounds that they were needed to assist in carrying out the business of the city, and not to keep aldermanic chairs warm, there is a strong probability that the vacancies could soon be filled by good men.

Dr. Robertson, superintendent of-Presbyterian' missions, accompanied by Rev. Mr. Wallace; of Grand Forks, arrived in; Greenwood Monday and on Monday evening- met the Presbyterians of Greenwood, to whom he gave an interesting- account of some mission work. Dr.; Robertson explained how it was. impossible to secure a suitable missionary for Greenwood until Rev. Mr. fortune, who arrived last week, decided to come here. Dr. Robertson has been traveling- so long-through Manitoba, the northwest atid^Britislv1; Columbia that, lie knows every foot of the country. He is.cdn- sequeritly an interesting- lecturer. 'Of course he uses his. information in the interests of the work .with which he is so 'closely associated, btit-it is no less- interestingon' that; account:: :He told hisraudience th'at-althoughhe was here two years ag-o,.he could recognize nothing- but the -hill���one could never forget ;that. Greenwood had grown beyond recognition-: and would continue to'.grow.,. It 'vviSuld5', be^-'secbnd Ross-- land; a greater Rosfeland.'{'rHe spoke of th'e ^mineral resources tributary to it, and-'adviseQ the'--Presbyterians:to keep upi ���-with''the'rgrbwihg\" '.time;-;.' They should, !have tlieir own : pastor ;and church. Speaking- of mission work g-enerally,-. -Dr.- - -Robertson \" was ' 'particularly interesting- in dealing- with the emmigrants from Europe who are settling- in the northwest. \"The hodge podge\" people as he was pleased to describe them. He advised the people to discount .-^political.- articles, Grit and Troy.\"'' Theemniig-rarits wereprobably not. so- black- as -painted by one party nor as: bright as the other would like to'show them.' All he had to say was that with some grooming- they would make 'good Canadians and it was the duty of the church to assist in making them g-ood citizens. ���Dr. Robertson thoroughly understands the west, and its people and to this knowledg-e must' be -attributed a great deal of the success which' has attended his work. ' He believed' that\"the pastors in the west should be men first and ministers afterwards. The westerner has lots of respect for a man, but little 'for the cloth. Consequently it was not always easy to secure the right: kind of ministers for western, missions.''. The-' doctor g-ave ^figures to show the remarkable-progress made by th'e church since 1870. They swere figures which not only showed the development of Presbyternism, but a remarkable increase in the population of the country under his jurisdiction. Palmer Mountain Tunnel. Among- the visitors to Republic this week were \"W. T. Hunter and his brother, James, the latter being- of the firm of Hunter Bros., who have large mercantile houses in Rossland, Grand Forks and Greenwood, in British Columbia. W. T. Hunter is a merchant of Wheatland, in the Red River yalley of North Da'kota, and has made a'great deal of money there. When here Mr. Hunter and his brother were on their return from a trip to Loomis and Palmer mountain, in .the Okanogan country, the scene'of: the recent great strike. W.'-T.' Hunter is one of the original proprietors of the now famous Palmer mountain tunnel and is the ownerof 500,000 shares of stock in the Palmer Mountain Tunnel company. John Boyd; who- is now in,charge of the operations of the Palmer Mountain Tunnel company, formerly worked in the store for 'W'.'T.\" Hunter at\" Wheatland, North Dakota.-; He had a decided aptitttde'-for^ machinery iarid when he chanced to make a visit, several years ago, to Loomis, where .Hunter Brothers had a mercantile establishment, he was much impressed with the great number of veins appearing on the slope of Palmer mountain. It -was then that he conceived the idea of the Palmer mountain tunnel. He had a map prepared showing the surface position of the veins and took that with a reoprt on the character of ore in the veins, formation, etc., and went to Spokane where met ex-Mayor Daniel Drum- heller and Dr. M. Fred Essig, of Spokane, and Dr. Luce and C. C. May, of Davenport, Washington. All of these gentlemen were stockholders in the Big Bend National bank, at Davenport, one of the most successful financial institutions of the state, and they all knew something of Palmer mountain mineral prospects for they had interests over there. The map that Mr. Boyd had made showed the veins on the side of Palmer mountain to great advantage and no one could examine the map without being attracted by the proposition. The result was the organization of the Palmer Mountain Tunnel company with 5,000,000 shares of the par value of one dollar each. W, T. Hunter had come into possession of a number of claims, from prospectors and others, who could not otherwise paj' for goods and supplies they had bought from the store Mr. Hunter was interesteuin a.t Loomis. They were put in as assets of the company along with many other claims acquired by purchase and otherwise. Boyd and Hunter received 1,- 000,000 shares as their portion of the 5,000,000 shares of capital stock in the tunnel company and this they divided equally, making the portion of each half a million shares. lilessrs. Drumheller, Essig, Luce and May found the capital,' and the tunnel, which is to be 5,000 feet long when completed, was commenced under the charge of Mr. Boyd over a'y'ear ago. It had been driven about 2,000 feet when' it cut the great vein about which os-much has been said of late. , Numerous other veins of lesser extent and carrying ore of not 'so high a grade were but before the big one \"was found and some of these'afe'expected to yield good results.j The big vein is 42 feet wide, with 13 feet of. solid quartz, the remainder of mixed quartz and gangtte. Mr.'Hunter, in speaking.of.the character of the vein while here-said: ���; \"We have had-mahy sample; assays made but we have no assayer of our own on the\" ground. ��� Most of the samples have '. been taken at .the mine arid carried: to\" Spokane where they were assayed. We have engaged an expert assayer: arid' he will' b'e'in^Lbbmis all the time so he can not only sample the big vein carefully from day to day as we open it up by drifts, but other veins as well. We have satisfied ourselves that we have opened a very fine body of ore.- The 13 feet of clean quaftz'will} probably average: close to $100 ��� atori irr gold. The remainder of the vein will run much lower but it is all rich enough to work.\" What Mr. Hunter says is fully con- firriiatory of the statement made by ex- Mayor Drumhelier on his return to Spokane from his visit to Palmer mountain. The chances are that the holdings of Messrs;- Boyd- arid Hunter- in' the tunnel company will'yield them .'both a.; great\" deal of money. The stock can not be had on. the market and probably could not be purchased in any. considerable qua'ntity-Jor. less than one dollar a share.���Republic Miner.

This week Frank E. Starkey, D. C. Beach and Jerry Spellmain, owners of the Victoria group of gold-copper mineral claims on Christina lake, held a meeting at Rossland, and signed incorporation papers. The new corporation is styled the Victoria Gold and Copper Mining company, limited, and has a capital of $1,000,000 in one dollar shares. Of this amount.50,000 shares will be placed in the treasury at 10 cents, a good part of which is. already spoken for. The new company will be a British Columbia concern, and the head office is to be located at English Point, on the lake. Mr. Beach, who returned from Rossland Thursday, has already gone to the. claims and begun the work of getting the office ready. The property of the company consists of four full sized claims, the Victoria, Evening' Star, Copper Wonder and Copper Mountain, in a solid block, and they extend to the lake shore. The track of the new railway line is already laid across the property, so.that immediate and cheap transportation is assured as Soon as the company is ready to ship, which it is not believed will be long. Thus far most of the development work has been done on the Victoria, which has a 30-foot ledge of sulphide ore, assaying $27, $29 and $36, respectively. A Record representative recently visited and inspected the property. Work has already been started on a tunnel to tap the ledge at a depth of 100 feet, and Mr. Beach will take a contract to drive this in for 100 feet or more, working night and day. As Mr. Starkey has been very successful in his mining operations, and is a careful, conservative man, all; the capital needed will be readily obtained. Mr. Beach says that he can dispose of $1,- 000 worth of stock just to the few who have seen the property and noted the magnificent showing.-Cascade Record. A Safe Sort of Investment. A dividend-paying property sometimes reaches an enormous value, and this is especially the case when it is known to have reserves of ore that will last for many years. Take the case of the Homestake Mining company as one in point. The stockholders at a recent meeting, held in San Francisco, voted to increase the capital stock from $12,- 500,000 to $21,000,000. Up to May of this year the Homestake Mining company had paid dividends to the extent of $7,493,750. The property of the Homestake company is located in South Dakota and is what is known as a low grade, free milling proposition. There is an immense body of ore, and though it has been operated almost continuously since 1876, the shareholders, as is evidenced by their action in increasing the capital stock, consider it to be more valuable than ever. The former capital stock of the company consisted of 125,000 shares of. a par value of $100 each, and now it consists of 210,000 shares of a par value of $100 each. The stock is not quoted at its full par value in the New York stock exchange, and fluctuated during the present month from S60 to $75 per share. There are but few sales in it, as it is held by those who own it as an investment, as it pays dividends continuously. The history of this celebrated mine is certain to be duplicated by some of the leading dividend payers of this section, and this will especially be the case with those properties that have large ore bodies. In cases where the ore is of higher grade than that of the Homestake the dividends will be greater. An investment in the shares of a mine like the Homestake is as certain to yield a profit as anything human can be. It is known to a certainty how much the ore will yield per ton, how-much it will cost to mine and mill it, the quantity of ore there is in-sight, and it is ascertainable to within a short time how long it will take to work the property to a profitable depth. With this data it is possible to figure out when the property will cease to pay dividends, and within a reasonable degree of accuracy how much the dividends will be. Notwithstanding this fact, people will be'heard frequently to say that all mining is a gamble. It is a gamble under certain conditions, but under some circumstances it is as safe as running an old and. well-established business in the mercantile line in an ancient city. The Homestake is a mining proposition of the latter kind.��� Rossland Miner. Chinese in Mines, A cablegram has been received from London to the effect that the appeal in the case of Bryden vs. the Union Colliery company has been granted. Until the particulars of the judgment are made known comment on this decision will be somewhat difficult. But taking the bare statements contained in the cablegram that decision is a heavy blow to the interests of labor in this province. Like so many other British Columbia questions, this is one upon which the privy council could not have that fulness of knowledge which is necessary to understand thoroughly what it means to the white workingman to have ignorant, incapable and reckless Chinese working in the mines with him. Experience led to the placing of that prohibition in the Coal Mines Regulation act, and it is too bad that the privy council, who cannot possibly be as fully aware of the facts as the legislators were who placed that clause in the act,should remove a necessary safeguard and expose the lives of our white workingmen to a terrible danger. Clause four of the act runs: \"No boy under the age of twelve years, and no woman or girl of any age, and no Chinaman, shall be employed in or allowed to be for the purpose of employment in any mine to which this act applies below ground.\" The newspaper that deliberately advocates allowing Chinamen to work underground in coal mines is a foe to the white working man, and is to be held partly responsible for any evil results that may follow the strange decision of the privy council. We shall await with considerable interest the arrival of the full text of the decision. ���Victoria Times. MINERAL ACT, 1896. Certificate of Improvements NOTICE.

The Josie, in Summit camp, near the B. C, is being- incorporated by Wol- ford, Holbrook and Rogers, of Spokane, and the owners \"Cap.\" Rogers and Joe Young of this place. The capital- _. ization of the company is fixed at $100,000 in 1,000,000 shares of 10 cents each. This is one of the best know properties in the camp which has not already been taken hold of by capital .and there is every indication that the prosecution of active development will -shortly result in placing- the property on a shipping basis'. Considerable work has already, been done and a fine body of mineral opened . up.-...A shaft has been sunk 90 feet on a 4)��-foot ledg-e of copper sulphides in ' in quartz and spar g iving- high assays, in ,both>gold and copper. '-'When- development was first, com- .-mericed ,on. the property .about two years ago a streak of native copper '���was opened up which . attracted, considerable attention at the time, but soon dipped away from the shaft. It is the intention to sink the shaft 20 feet deeper and then cross-cut for this streak which should have attained considerable proportions, by this time .if it has increased in size in accord- 'ance with'the ore body. The properties to be owned and operated by the company are the Josie and Josie fraction, vabout 85 acres in all, both of whidh have good showings, although the:later:has been very, little worked as yet.

The lead is from 10 to 40 feet in width, and has been traced for a mile and located for about two. It lays between slate and porphyry, a g-ood enough formation.

The Spokane Industrial Exposition is a new name which' Spokane has chosen for her annual fruit fair. This name implies a fair of more importance, and it is the intention of the Spokane people to make this year a general, exposition. It will be held October 3rd to October 17th, inclusive. At this fair the exhibits of fruits, grasses, roots and vegetables will be as important a feature as ever before. The counties will compete for the same liberal prizes, and everything will be' done to make these departments all that they have been in the past. In addition, a great deal more will be added. Three or four new departments will be included which will make the fair a general industrial exposition, and will cover practically all the resources of the Pacific northwest. There will be three times as many interesting features for visitors as ever before, and in addition to the wider scope which will be given the exhibits, the entertainment features will be so strong that what has. been had at former fairs will not compare with them. In addition to the departments which have been had at former fruit fairs, this year there .will be a'full; stock and dairy department, a poultry show and a department for mining exhibits and mining machinery. ��� This is the first attempt Spokane ever has made to have a stock show, but Manager Bolster and J. L. Smith, the superintendent, have gone into it the right way, arid have put up the, most, liberal prizes for stock exhibits which ever have been offered in the Pacific northwest. The same generosity is shown ,,in the dairy department.- In the poultry department the same cash prizes and premiums will be given as:' are given at the Spokane poultry show in the winter. -At former fruit fairs attempts - have been made to make mineral exhibits. While some of these have been excellent they have tiot been extensive enough and general enough to represent adequately the mineral resources of the northwest. This year the mining: men of Spokane have taken hold of the matter, and they propose to have as fine a mineral department and mining machinery department as Mr. Smith will have in his departments. Van B. DeLashmittt is chairman of the hustling mining- committee and L. K. Armstrong is the secretary. They propose, if possible, to have every mining camp in the Pacific northwest represented, and it looks as if they would succeed. Mining- machinery will be another department, where all kinds of mining machinery will be exhibited in motion throughout the fair. For a feature of entertaiement the Grand. Army band of Canton, O., President McKinley's home, known as the President's band, consisting of 41 pieces, has been secured. It has a national reputation. In addition there will be many other high-classed features of entertainment. With the program and the wider scope of the exposition there certainly will be a great deal big-ger attendance in Spokane this year than ever before. Certificates of Work. July 26. Lucy, J. B.

The strawberry festival, in aid of the Methodist church building fund, Tuesday night, was well patronized. Owing to bad weather the festival was held in Barrett's hall instead of the new church. Mrs. Foreman and Mrs. Nichols, with the assistance of local talent, will entertain next week. The specialty by Mrs. Foreman and Mrs. Nichols will demonstrate the ease and comfort, of perfect ��� equilibrium as a result of physical culture. The ceremony of laying the corner stone of the new Baptist church will take place Saturday evening, Aug. 5, at 5 p. m. Rev. W. T. Stack house, president of the Baptist convention, will deliver an address, and will also preach morning and evening, Sunday, in Barrett's hall at 11 and 7:30. Otto Diller and H. R. Elliott have completed assessment on the Lead King in Smith's camp, this being the fourth assessment on the property. The work done consists of open work and a 25-foot shaft. The ledge is about 4 feet wide under an iron capping, carrying good values in copper and gold. About forty men are at present at work on the Greenwood waterworks system, under Superintendent Edwards. This week the mains are being put in along Water street from the intersection of Government to Dead- wood. After the Copper street work is completed the mains will be laid on Government street. M. E. Miller returned Tuesday last from the Sirnilkameen country, having gone as far as Princeton, where he purchased a couple of lots, intending at an early date opening a branch business there. A number of rich strikes were reported about 20 miles south of Nicola, but Mr. Miller was. unable to get particulars before he left. The body of McDermott, who was drowned in the Sirnilkameen on May 27, was found at the mouth of Twenty Mile creek on July 30. Work on the Greenwood Masonic temple has been commenced under the superintendence of W. D. Palmer. The building will be 79x37 feet, two storys and 14 feet ceilings. The'lower portion of the building will be used as a place of business, while the upper portion will be divided into a main lodge room, 50x36 feet, a reception room 30x14 feet, two ante-rooms, regajja closts, etc. The building will be completed in about six weeks and will cost in the neighborhood of $4,500. W. H. Norris, one of the original owners and for the past three years editor and publisher of the Midway Advance, has severed his connection with that paper. The plant has been purchasad by Mr. Withall of Montreal, one of the owners of the Midway town- site, and will in -future be edited by Mr. E. Jacobs, while the business management will be under the control of Mr. C. M. Crouse. Both gentlemen are well known in the district. The many friends of Mr. Norris will regret that owing to ill health he has been compelled to retire from newspaper work. The men working on the Snowshoe in Greenwood camp, struck for higher pay this week, and. as a consequence the mine will be temporarily closed down. Tne wages heretofore paid has been S3.50 per day for all underground work. The men working in the shaft claimed that they were entitled to more pay than those working in the drift, and asked for $4 per day. Their request was refused. The matter will probably be satisfactorily adjusted in the course of a few days and work con- tinueJ on the property. While it must be admitted that a miner should get higher wages' for working in a wet shaft than for work done in a comparatively dry drift, it is to be regretted that the difficulty could not have been settled without closing down work at the mine. ' Phoenix, in Greenwood camp, is at present experiencing a building boom. There are in course of erection, a store for the Huhter-Kendrick company, a large livery stable for Jos. Hedges;-a wing to the Hotel Phoenix, buildings for a drug.store and stationery store, a restaurant, a cigar store, and several cottages. Wynkoop & Stephens have two general stores there���one at the Old Ironsides and theother at Phoenix, a half mile distant. They also have charge of the Ironsides hotel, where the men working on the Old Ironsides and Knob Hill board, and the boarding house at the War Eagle mine, having to provide meals for 120 men. The restaurant at the Hotel Phoenix furnishes, meals for about one hundred men daily. The pay-roll of the camp for the month of July was over $20,000. This will be raised to over $100,000 when ore trains commence running into the camp. The sawmill, a mile below Phoenix, cannot readily supply the demand for lumber. So far there are no lots for sale in Phoenix, but it is probable that the Ironsides people or G. W. Rumberger will place a part of their property on the market shortly. *G=*6=*(F*!CS* E ARE OFFERING FOR SALE A NUMBER of Summer lines which we want to reduce and clear out previous to our fall goods arriving and of course are selling them at Rock bottom prices to clear them out Our connections with the manufacturers and our ex^ tensive experience in these lines give us a decided act' vantage over our competitors and places us in a position to sell these goods at prices that are bound to command you trade and save your money.

Mr. Ansel Bates, assistant secretary of the Winnipeg Mining and Smelting company, has kindly furnished The Times with 'the following report of the annual meeting of the shareholders of that company: The annual meeting of the shareholders of the Winnipeg Mining and Smelting company, limited, took place at their registered office at the mine, on the 31st ult. There were represented in person and by proxy 285,001 shares of the company's capital stock, the total of which is 1,000,000 shares, of the par value of $1 each. This representation came from both sides of the international boundary, and that fraternity of feeling.and unity of interests,that-is doing so much for the development and exploitation of the superb natural resources of this mineral region, was highly in evidence, and gave the proceedings, from first to last, a degree of enthusiasm most gratifying. The president of the company, Mr. Duncan Mcintosh, who was the discoverer and original locator of the property, and who is and has been since the organization of the present company, its president and managing director, submitted to the shareholders his annual report of work done and cost of same, as follows: In shaft No. 4 (double compartment), sinking 222 feet at a cost in labor, $2,408.50, timber, $234.25, powder, $152.03, candles, $39.28, fuel, $73.15. Total, $2,207.51. Average per foot, $13.10. Drifting and cross- cutting, 595 feet at a cost for labor, $6,- 264.17, timber, $43.90, powder, $525.02, fuel, $360.59, candles, $112.50, expense, $275.04. Total, ��7,581.22. Average cost per foot, $12.74. He also submitted to the shareholders the following financial statement which is a full statement of receipts and disbursements, from inception of the present company to date of June 30th, 1899: LACE CURTAINS FR��M 75C SUMMER DRESS GOODS... We are making a run on a doublefold dress material at 15c per yard, worth at least double the amount, Ladies' Wrappers in all shades and sizes. Ladies' Hats and Parasols at half price. Childrens Dresses in sizes 1, 2, 3* 4, and 5 in all styles and prices. the previous year, viz: Duacan Mcintosh, president and managing director; W. P. Honey, secretary; and David H. Beecher, treasurer. Ansel Bates was appointed assistant secretary. The president and managing director was formally tendered a vote of thanks for the able and economical manner in which he has conducted the company's affairs. His recommendations and suggestions, as set forth in his annual report, relating to future work, were unanimously adopted,and full authority was given to him to proceed at once with the same proposed work. The excellent standing of this company's finances, its surface- plant and the underground work and development of the mine all strongly portend that the company will soon be giving its full share of the general contribution toward feeding the smelter's insatiable fires. ��otidji: H@t: Midway, Kettle River.
