Mr. Miner is a well known-east em financier and manufacturer. It is: proposed to do custom work, but'the ores- of thev syndicate; will. have. the. preferetice.

At present there is a strong senti- ment in favor-of railway cotnmunica- tion'between Grand Forks and Republic,., the rich, gold camp, thirty miles sputh of the international boundary. The siliceous ores of Republic would flux admirably with the sulphide ores of the Roundary district. Power is ��� np,w;being .sought from the provincial legislature to build a railway four aud prie-.half miles 1 long to the frontier, there to connect with the proposed railway to Republic. It is claimed that 18 per cent of the values of the Republic ores are lost by the cyaniding process, and that all these values would be. saved if the orescouldbe.smclted! instead. The sentiment in Republic in .favor of- the projected railway, is very pronounced. This was evidenced last week when a public meeting, representing the mining and business interests of that camp, adopted strong resolutions on the subject.

He was surprised to make Green- ��� wood in about nine miles, or eleven {miles from tht river, starting from a ';point some sixfrniles south of Sullivan's [ranch, which is about nine or ten miles | above the junction of thi West Fork l-withthe main Kettle river. The grade (.^was by no means heavy, his course ' having been through a succession of ; draws until he came out a short distance from the Mother Lode. It is his x ���..,:- \"X>pinion-that before any more money i shall be spent on the road via Lost i creek to the upper Kettle river, a care- ;.ful examination of the country between the Mother Lode and the river , should be made. From his observations i whilst walking over it last week, he is ^confident that the most direct and ; practicable route for a main road from . Greenwood to the river can here be obtained and that at far less cost than by any other route yet suggested. There , is no rock to be cut through, and though .-occasional side-hill cutting would be recessary, there are comparatively long stretches requiring little or no grading. ' Where there is growing timber it is not thick enough to involve heavy expense in clearing a roadway. Much of the .distance through would be through ��� burnt country, so that the cost in this direction would not be great. Mr. Hughes points out that Sullivan's ranch, going via Midway, Rock creek and Westbridge- is about 40 miles distant from Greenwood, and points on the main Kettle river and its ��� tributaries north and north-west of ' Sullivan's are proportionately more distant. To make the river in 11 miles and Sullivan's in 17 miles is; a very im- ; portant saving so that the matter is deserving of the prompt and serious consideration of the citizens of Greenwood, who are deeply interested in (securing the increasing trade of that ������section bf the Kettle river country. 7-3ven as compared with the Lost creek /\"route the distance is much shorter, ;-whilst in regard to grade arid cost of 7making a good wagon road the advan- '.tages are, in the opinion of Mr. ���^Hughes, far and away in favor of the ..v-'rou'te lately traversed by him. It is his intention to return to camp the way he came in and to blaze his trail as he 'goes. \"..������: _'.' ;7y. The Kinkora group is one that may 7yet prove a Valuable tributary to \"7Greenwbod. It comprises six mineral y.claims, the Kinkora,- Sultan j Czarina, yTryon, Commanche��.Chief and Little 'f;Widowi yThese are owned by the^Kin- ���kora Mining Company, Limited, capitalized at S100.000 in 1,000,000. shares at 10 cen^s each, of whjch 4O0J0O0 are .jreasu^y stock. None of the latter t.have ygt been sold. The promoters' |stock has been pooled for two years. ���^?he company \"was incotpqpi^ed. }agt ���fall by.Messrsj An_|r-ew I^tny, pres- *jdent; J.nQ. Douglas, secretary-treas- ?urer; F, Hughes, general manager; Jas. Atwood and P. S. Hqghes, who form ;its directorate. s A big Iron-capped lead has been :: traced, by means of surface . cuts, through\" five of the claims. It crosses a deep gulch with hills rising 1,200 to \\ 1,500 feet on either side. In the sum- ���������{ mer of 1899 an open cut was run about .100 feet along the course of the lead 'ending with a face of well mineralized jrock IS feet in depth. This was up the ; hill side north of the creek. Down near ��� the camp about 1,000 feet south of this \\ cut and some 500 feet lower down ver- -tically the lead was this summer pickled up in a tunnel through wash from ! an open cut and again across the creek ' l on the south side of the gulch. Above '. this the Tock was freely mineralized, [chiefly with iron and a lit$e GQpper. In j places ihei gangiie Is a. very likely look's Ing quartz, with mineral scattered ; through it, and in others it is heavy [magnetic oxide of iron. Altogether the showing is a very promising one, and should the negotiations now on for sale of a block of treasury stock be successfully carried through, work.will shortly be resumed. -It is therefore not unlikely that ere? long another import- : ant group will be added to th�� mariy . mining properties tributary to Greenwood and being opened up with good -prospects of becoming permanent mineB. BIG LUMBER DEAL Blue & Fisher Sold Their Interests in Lumber Company. -, >': A big lumber deal was consummated in the city last week when Messrs. Blue & Fisher sold out their interest in the Yale-Columbia Lumber company to P. Genelle & Co. About a year ago the saw mills of Blue & isher and Genelle & Co. were acquired by the Yale Columbia company and were run since then by that company. By the new arrangement Genelle & Co. are the sole owners, but the business will be carried on under the name of the Yale Columbia Lumber company. The company own nearly all the mills and yards in the Kootenay and Boundary districts. Blue & Fisher, who are thc pioneer lumber men of Greenwood, have not yet decided what they will do do, but it is probable that they will begin business for themselves. GRAND FORKS WINS. Old Ironsides-Grand Forks Foot Ball Match Was an Interesting Game. The game of foot ball between the Old Ironsides team from Phoenix and the Grand Forks team was played on the grounds of the latter on Saturday, the 18th, in the presence of a large crowd of spectators, proved an interesting contest. The city put on its holiday attire and all the business places were closed for the game. Great preparations had been made to welcome the visiting team, and shortly after lunch, proceeded by the band, the playerB left for-the grounds accompanied by the citizens. The game was called at 2:30 and from the first toot of the whistle till'.time was called, good team play- was shown on both sides. After 28 minutes of very hard- play the boysrof the smelter town scored the only goal made, McQueen doing the trick from a clever pass from Capt. Donaldson. In the second half the Phoenix boys kept the ball well into the opponent's goal, but lack of condition, combined with the stout defense of the home team, prevented a score being made. In the evening the boys from the pay roll town\" were right royally entertained by the local-team at a banquet and smoker. The following day the visitors returned home delighted with the reception given them. PREVENTED A TRAGEDY. Timely information given Mrs- George Long, of New Straitsville, Ohio, saved two lives.

REFORM OF THE SEW ATE'. learning what it is to be governed by mortmain. The living voice of. the country is being stifled by a dead hand; and the commons of Canada, with their mandate fresh from the people, find themselves checked and overruled by men sent to the senate only because in the past, they had been faithful to a policy which the nation has definitely rejected. The work of the direct representatives of the people is being revised and undone by a chamber which has been practically nominated by the opposition. . ��� The Liberal government is pledged to reform the senate, and this reform will be..accomplished along..the lines indicated in the proposal of Sir Wilfrid Laurier should he be returned to power at the approaching general elections. If, on the other hand, Sir Charles Tupper is again entrusted with the reins of government, the senate-will remain untouched, and it will once more sink into the state of apathetic acquiescence from which it emerged in order to trouble and embarrass the new Liberal ministry. At the present time, however, there are no indications pointing to the probability of a change of government. The Conservatives have no popular cry to���\" attract the support of the electorate, bnt areendeavoring by sentimental and clap-trap side issues, to obscure the only practical issue of the coming campaign���the reform of the senate���and to divert the public mind from a proper appreciation of its importance and the urgency of its demands. * . % * X F. J, MITCHELL X i An Ottawa correspondent writes: The most important issue upon which the people of the Dominion of Canada will be palled to give their verdict at the forthcoming general elections is the proposal to amend the constitution sq faf as 'x\\ rjilatesjo the senate.. It is pfoposed by.Sit '\"Wilfrid Laurier, as a -/pefiific rei^edj aga^ns^ t}ie igg-isiativp (If^dlflclcs wtuch-;h,ave sq frequently occurred in the -Doniinlon parliament during the past four years, to provide for a joint session of the senate and honse of commons, and the decision arrived at by a majority of the two houses upon any is.sue respecting which there is a conflict of opinion be- ^eeq t|-e^, gftajl b!e fjqal.\" \"fa'this pj-oppsltio-*, --owepy-, tye. cpn��e.rvative party, lpd by ��jr Tupppr, one of the frarqers of tl{e pons,t|tutioo, is yncoin. promisingly oppose*}. Qije person for thstf. party's attitude may tje found in the fact that Conservatives are, at \"present, in absolwte~c\"or.trol of the \"upper chamber. The Conservative party is, therefore in a position to veto any legislation which may be deemed hostile to its intereata, as,it has already done on more than, one occasion in recent years. A strong and influential Section of the Liberal party in Canada favors the total ex^inptlon \"of |he sjeccmd- c^ambjj^,, t>y. - it \\s considered that s.Hch a reygiHtior-ary -step would fee Un wise aqd ine3-pedie.it to. titH*\" at thia period.

Ganadian Bank of Commerce Wants the City's Account, the Council is Divided���A Bad Mix-Up Over Rules of Pr6cedure---RendeH Case to Be Appealed���Boun- - dary Avenue Completed���Minor Matters. A bank anxious, to secure business and a good account, a iiew manager with plenty of Irish enthusiasm on the ground, and an old manager hustling home after basking in the suhshine' and drinking in the exhilerating atmosphere of Tipperary, a finance committee with minds of their own, other members of the council set in their opinions, a city that is the mining, commercial, financial aad smelting, center of the Boundary district���all these factors combined to disturb the midsummer calm of municipal life and loosen tb-..,���floodgates of aldermanic oratory. The incidents leading up to .the exciting night of the 20tli of August when the municipal solons got bewildered in devious intricacies of rules of order and parliamentary procedure are-not^many,_but they go to show that the financial standing of the city of Greenwood is so high that one of the strongest banks in Canada feels justified in making an effort to secure its business. It appears that the offers made for the $20,- 000 worth of debentures, issued by the city, were not satisfactory to the council and the finance committee were empowered to make arrangements with the Bank of Montreal for a loan of $10,000 on the security of the debentures. The bank's solicitor drew up an agreement which he intended should be conned by the city solicitor that'he might suggest alterations or amendj ments. The agreement, however, fell into the hands of the finance committee and they knowing nothing or caring less about the law's delays or lawyers' dickerings, accepted the agreement as . final, considered it too binding and marched off to the Canadian Bank of Commerce to see the manager. Mr. Smythe is after- business and made a strong bid for the city account. He at once offered the committee to loan $13,- 000 on the security of the debentures without any conditions. The committee reported this offer to a special meeting of the council and recommended its adoption. There were only three members of the council and the mayor present at the special meeting, and a resolution was passed authorizing the transfer of the city account from the Bank of Montreal to the Canadian Bank of Commerce. The passage of this resolution was considered by the mayor and other members of the council as not being just to the Bank of Montreal. They pointed out that in the past when the city was young and not as strong as at. present, Mr. Finuca'ne, manager of the Bank of Montreal, had- always been ready to stand by the city and to back it up financially on. every possible\" occasion. It was in their opinion shabby- treatment to transfer. the account to another bank a few hours before he returned from a holiday tripNto Europe. A report of the proceedings of the special meeting will be fouad below: SPBCIAI, MEETING. A special meeting of the city council was held in the city hall on Thursday evening, 16th\" inst. The notice convening the meeting, stated the business to be \"Finances.\" Mayor Hardy was in the chair and there were aiso present Aldermen Bannerman, Cropley and Sullivan. ��� . _ The mayor said that the meeting had been called to consider the question of obtaining-^money.���There-^was- also some idea of transferring the city's banking account from the Bank of Montreal to the Canadian Bank of Commerce. He asked the chairman of the finance committee to explain the position. Alderman Bannerman said that the finance committee had received a draft of an agreement which the Bank of Montreal required the council to execute before it. would make further advances. This contained a provision calling for a demand note and another clause which would empower the Bank to sell the citj' debentures, to be lodged as security, after 24 .hours notice, of their intention to do so, failing discharge meanwhile of the city's liability to the Bank. The finance committee was not prepared to do,business on such short notice. Mr. H. C. Shaw, (Hallet & Shaw) representing the Batik of Montreal, here explained that the agreement referred to had been drawn up by himself, but it was not intended to be final. It had been submitted to the city solicitor with the expectation that should there be anything in it the council objected to this would be considered and such alteration be made as should be agreed upon. The clauses to which Alderman Bannerman had taken ex- exception had been inserted for the protection of the bank, and, too, in the interests of the city. For instance, if some big judgment were obtained against the city, the bank's' hands should not be tied so as to prevent it protecting itself by sale of the debentures, should it see fit to sell them. The bank only wanted to do what was right and as a business corporation it would not act unfairly to the city in this matter. The bank was quite prepared to meet tile finance committee's requirements in any reasonable manner. At the request of Mr. J. W. H. Smythe, local manager of the Canadian Bank of Commerce, that- bank's letter re the city's account was read. The bank offered.to advance $13,000 upon the passing of a resolution authorizing the borrowing of that, amount, and a further sum of $10,000 on the security of the $20,000 of city debentures. Debentures to be sold by December 31st next. * Interest to be paid on such' advances at the rate of seven per cent, per annum. Alderman Sullivan said this matter had been hanging fire for some time-. A resolution had been drafted by Mr. Hallett and submitted to the council, when an objection was raised to giving a demand note and another proposition was asked for. The agreement now on the table had then been submitted, but the finance committee considered it unfavorable, so they interviewed, the Bank of Commerce,**with the result that that bank had offered to take the city's account on the conditions just rea.d. He did not think it fair to'use the offer* of the Bank of Commerce\" as'a leverage to secure better terms. from the Bank of Montreal. In his opinion the city's account should be transferred to the Bank of Commerce. The mayor reminded aldermen that last year when money was required for public improvements that were for the benefit of the city and particularly of its business men, the Bank of Montreal had. readily advanced it against the unsold debentures. Personally he was opposed to: taking the city's account away from the Bank of v Montreal, which had carried it through worse times than the city is now experiencing. The gentleman at present in charge of the local branch of the Bank of Montreal in requiring the execution of an agreement was doing- business in a different way to what Mr.' Finucane had done and he felt sure that if the latter official had been here ho difficulty would have arisen. Still he would oppose making the suggested change of bank. He did riot wish to; dictate to the alderman, but he asked them tp give full\"consideration to the liberal manner in which the'Bank of Montreal had in the past dealt with the city. If they did this they should not. he thought, itak'e away thie business from hat bank. Mr. Shaw repeated th^t the: Bank of Montreal was prepared to make terms \"to suit the council. 7 The agreement, which should not have come before the council before an Qppurtunity had been given to meet the objections raised,: was not final. In fact the banl? was prepared to advance money without tj-ne execution of the agreement. He asked the acting local n. anager, who was present,. to confirm this statement, which that gentleman did. Aldermen Bannerman and Sullivan had both, thought the agreement final, hence their application to the Bank of Commerce. They now adhered.to the opinion that theyiatter- bank, having shown its readiness to meet the requirements of the finance committee without conditions considered by it.to be ob j ection able, - islentitled.to^ha v_e__the_ city's account. Mr. De Vebber had not had an opportunity of meeting the finance committee before that morning. His bank would be prepared to honor the city's cheques to the amount required, upon the deposit of the debentures and without an agreement if the council did not wish to execute one. Alderman Cropley here moved and Alderman Bannerman seconded \"That the city's account be transferred from the Bank of Montreal to the Canadian Bank of Commerce.\" The mayor, before putting the resolution, again urged that the aldermen should take into consideration that in the past the Bank of Montreal had helped the city out when it, needed financial assistance. The three aldermen having voted in favor of the resolution, the mayor declared it carried. On motion of Aldermen Cropley and Sullivan, the mayor, finance committee and city clerk were authorized to make the necessary arrangements for transferring the account and the council then adjourned. RBGUI.AR MKETING. When the regular meeting of the council was called all the members except Aid. Sutherland were present. The mayor was armed with a copy of the municipal act and the fun began, The prologue was by George Birkett Taylor, city clerk. He read the minutes of the previous regular meeting and the special meeting of the council. Then the mayor began before his time. Instead of allowing the minutes to pass because they were a faithful record of what did take place he thought that the proper moment had arrived to exercise his vetoing power.. Before the adoption of the minutes he- would veto, % under section 12 of the Municipal Clauses Act, two resolutions one authorizing the transfer of the city's account from the Bank pf Montreal to the Canadian Bank of Commerce and the other appointing a committee to carry out the intent of this resolution. The mayor stated that he was strongly opposed to the;change. If Mr. Finucane hadbeen in the city there would have been no trouble and it was not treating him nor the Bank of Montreal fairly to change the account just on the eve of his return to the city. The Bank of Montreal had been a strong friend of the city in the past and he-believed the account should be left there. Aid. Sharpe believed that there should be strong and valid reasons for the transfer of the city account. The -finance committee had acted hastily else they would have waited a day until the return of Mr. Finucane who had always been a strong friend, not only to the city, but to its business men. Aid. Bannerman- said the committee considered Mr. Smythe's offer a more favorable one and- it was their duty to do the best for the city. Aid. Sharpe still thought that the committee ought to have treated with the Bank of Montreal. That bank had voluntarily reduced the rate of interest one per cent. It was very unfair to Mr. Finucane to change just before his arrival in the city. Aid. Bannerman: \"We had been trying to arrange a loan with the Bank of Montreal for five or six weeks. We needed the money. It is bad policy to have small accounts unpid.\" - Aid. Galloway said that the finance committee had acted hastily. Instead of dealing with the old bank or reporting to the council, they on their own responsibility, had gone to a new bank. Such an important step should not have .been taken without the knowledge of the; council. ' Aid. Sullivan .reviewed at length the work of the committee. He said that the Bank of- Montreal' had agreed to advance $10,000 on the security of the debentures, but when they went for the money, the bank also wanted an ���agreement which the committee considered too stringent and a demand note j for the amount. The bank solicitor, had said the agreement was not final but was for the consideration of the city solicitor.- The city solicitor had nothing to do .with terms of the agreement. It was for him lo advise the city from a legal standpoint, but he had nothing whatever to. do with the terms of the.agreement. The Bank of Commerce had offered terms satisfactory to the commi.tee and it would be unfair to ijse these terms with a view of securing fetter treatinent from the Bank of Montreal. Aid.

Aid. Cropley moved'that the minutes should be adopted as read. This was seconded by Aid. Bannerman. Aid. Galloway then moved, seconded by Aid. Sharpe, to strike put the clauses dealing with the bank account. With two resolutions before the council, Aid. Sullivan appealed from the decision of the chair. The appeal was sustained on a vote of Cropley, Sullivan and Bannerman, against Sharpe and Galloway. ..-* * Aid. Galloway's amendment was not voted upon and the motion to adopt was carried in the same vote. The mayor's veto was forgotten and was not con a jdered although under section 12, the council are to consider the same as soon thereafter as is convenient. It is difficult to determine where the council is now at. The mayor's veto must be considered before the matter is finally settled. ��� . ' .. The ordinary business of the council included a report of City Engineer Alston informing the council that the grade on Boundary avenue had been completed.\" The contractors had removed 10,91-1 culuc yards at 4,4 cents and were entitled tp the amount. TJ_e report was adopted. F. W. Hart and others petitioned for steps from Kimberley street and the matter was referred to* the street com? mittee. Mr. Hart also asked for the street grade for a stone building he in tends erecting on Copper street below Deadwood. As there is yet no established grade for that section, Mr. Hart was so informed. The street committee were instructed to make necessary arrangements in connection with a culvert near Win- nett's CarriageTWorks. Aid. Sharpe tendered his resignation as member of the finance committee. He maintained that the committee's instruction had not been followed in reference to keeping within the revenue and he again referred to the treatment accorded the Bank of Montreal. The special committee reported thaj: they were unable to secure a suitable team for the'fire department, Smith Curtis, _#.
