The News was initially published by John Houston, an outspoken journalist who would later embark on a successful political career, which included four terms as the mayor of Nelson and two terms in the provincial legislature. Houston left the News in May 1892, and the paper was subsequently published by David Bogle and Percy Whalley until October of the same year."@en, ""@en ; edm:aggregatedCHO "https://open.library.ubc.ca/collections/xhotsprings/items/1.0180342/source.json"@en ; dc:format "application/pdf"@en ; skos:note """ 7 : , \\ NUMBER 38. AINSWORTH, BRITISH COLUMBIA, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 1, 1892. TEN GENTS. A IMMifcltOIS EXTFltlMFAT. 1 felt the moment I saw him that dr. Arnold was not an ordinary man. lie hired my first floor, as if in search of patients, but he seemed comfortably off, if not wealthy. He brought a quantity of things into the house, though I considered my 2 parlors well furnished. First came a desk, then a bookcase, and lastly a wagon- load of huge trunks. The front parlor uashis- ottice, the back his surgery,- and he used the extension for a bed-(hau*ber. 1 was delighted when I caught sight of the rooms after the doctor and his colored servant had arranged t hem. The doors and windows were all draped with magnificent curtains or portieres made of rich stult, embroidered in strange patterns. ^Goblins, birds, butterflies and queer creatures, such as I had never seen or heard of reveled all over the curtains, which were framed of heavy, dark green silk. Much of the embroidery was in gold, and all the portieres were finished with heavy gold bullion fringes. Then there were rugs aud mats so brilliant and beautiful that they seemed to my eyes handsome enough to lie framed like pictures. The thought came into my mind that tbe doctors wealth must he unbounded, and I felt I must respect even if 1 did nota like him. As 1 gazed the servant came in with his stealthy^ step, as noiselessly \\\\^ a snake. He bowed and addressed me in broken Kiiglish. ������������������ What Missy Sahib wishes? " he asked iu his smooth, silky voice. I disliked fhe'.man as much as I liked his master. He was not like any colored man I had ever seen. He was tall and thin, and his long face always wore a smile, but his eyesjwere like, a snake's, and so were bis movements, and, his long straight hair seemed glued to his narrow head. "Nothing. 1 am only admiring the rooms. Those curtains are beautiful." "They are from my country." he said, bowing, as if I bad paid him a compliment. " And what country is that ?" " India..., I am a Hindoo.,% After that 1 did Hot see 'much /of ���������' master or man. They had paid the rent and gave no trouble. The ��������� servant waited on his master' and ."they-, were very' quiet lodgers, for the doctor had scarcely a patient. After.-they had been 2 months' in t lie house the,, ���������doctor sentnie word that he would be absent a few davs and did riot .-wish any one to enter bis rooms. Now I should have mentioned that I am a woman, and must also confess that 1 inherit iiivown share of Mot her ,:Fve!s curiosity ; so as soon as 1 saw the '.-doctor, go out of the house I was determined 1/should examine his .apartments at my leisure. Mustapha, the'man. however, remained behind ..and l.'had; to possess inv soul iii pat;''ieii.ce till he should be out of the way/The opportunity Came '3 days after the doctor's depart lire.

It had three. "They are .just as they were three months ago todav." "Yes." The doctor Struck a match and lit a taper. lie held the tlame to the red wax and the seals melted. *% Culock the trunk." The stranger drew a key from his pocket and did so with trembling hands. The lid was thrown back and Mustapha, assisted by his master, drew a shapeless form from the trunk and laid it on the carpet. "I believe iny tongue clove to the roof of my mouth or I should have screamed; The form was inclosed in a large box, and it was a dead body. ' .'.'/ ��������������������������� ���������: '���������,'.' '';'. "Examine these seals also." Around the '.month of the hag a rope, was tied, and the knots were sealed.-like'tbe trunk. "Three months ago." returned the doctoiy r'my daughter, w ho was born in India and is of the' religion of Shaihin, took under her a vow to perform this .-sacrifice iii honor of the great goddess'-. Siva, She closed her throat by swallowing strips of linen after the -'manner of Hindoo fakirs. Sire then threw herself into a 'cata-- lopt ie. state, and I, in 'your presence, sealed her nostrils with plugs of flax steeped in wax. I then ' inclosed-her pulseless, and rigid form in tills shroud, the seals of which are still intact. 1 shall now restore her to life.". Meanwhile Mustapha had been busy mixing a paste-of flour-like stuff ami boiling water in a shining brass bowl. Tile doctor broke the seals ami drew down the shroud, revealing the form of a woman. Her face was shriveled and 'brown like "a mummy. As I stood, hoping I was in a horrid dream, be went on : "Observe this body is cold and pulseless as it was when. I placed'it.'in that trunk three months ago/" The stranger bowed. He seemed on the point of fainting. Tbe doctor cahnlv drew the plugs of flax from the nostrils and opened the mouth. The tongue Was doubled back'and he restored it to its' corneal position. He then took the paste from tre servant and poured some of it . over the bead >d SA. tot- fe* 6n.<��������� ' Si* I 7 '*itf and emptied the kettle over the body. Again and again he applied the paste, and at length said calmly: "The pulse is heating and respiration has commenced." Mustapha handed him a goblet full of a beautiful rose-colored liquid and he poured it down the throat of the body. In a moment the , corpse opened its eyes, the face grew lifelike and the hands began to twitch. At the sight of this I fell senseless. When I was restored to consciousness I found myself on the lounge; the doctor was bending over ine and the large trunk was removed. I gazed around in bewilderment. The lamps still burned and the copper brazier stood beside the ugly idol, which made me shiver as itseemed to watch me with its sinister eye. * "You have disobeyed my orders and have sufr fered for if,"said the doctor eooly as he offered me wine. I .waved him away and rose to rny feet. "You must leave my house this very day!" I aimed. , , "Very good. And you���������must be silent." / He gave me such a fearful look I grew cold*all. ; over. \\ ,' " , ' . t"', V A shrill laugh sounded hear me, and looking . around I caught sight of the dead body.

"Yes, ma'am; the day you took sick, and do you know that he had a daughter wyith him? I was struck when I saw her go out, for she did not come in the carriage that day. I saw them come in." "What did she look like, Maggie?" I asked, faintlv. "Awful thin, and dark as an Indian, with horrid looking eyes, like coals of fire." The doctor had left a note for me.

We are accustomed to look on the Mexicans as a race who have been left behind in the march of modern civilization. If what is said of their mining law be true, it is obvious they have not kept pace with modern improvements. "The existing regulations evolved from those of Spain have been remarkable in this age of enigmatical mining laws for their simplicity and clarity and for the well nigh impossibility of a controversy on purely technical grounds." Would that in this respect British Columbia were as far behind the age as Mexico! In British Columbia, legislators have been so anxious to keep iu sympathy with the age that they have made the mining law more enigmatical every year, and by multiplying amendments have multiplied opportunities for "controversy on purely technical grounds." For instance, the new mining law came into force, we understood, on the 24th of April. There was no beating of drums nor blowing of trumpets. Quietly and, insidiouslv it worked its wav into the mining community and, like all pests, its presence was hardly noted before its deadly work.had begun. How is it that all claims staked Under the old act after April 23rd are illegally held and yet that except through the columns of the News nothing of the new provisions was known throughout the mining community? How is it that till the end of May the luckless prospector in Goat River district might locate under the new law only to find that he could record only under the old? This one fact, that a radical change in the law, applying to a widely scattered population, came into force without any intimation of its provisions to those most nearly concerned, is sufficient to cover our legislators with glory. They have amply vindicated British Columbia's superiority in civilization over a country such as Mexico whose mining law can only boast of simplicity and clarity. SOME WHI T VA GUE. The outsider's ideas about mining are, to put it mildly, vague. They are usually derived from the general notion that mineral conies out of the earth, and from reading romances of the gold fields. His own argument- about West Kootenay is: "If you have such quantities of silver,'why don't you turn some of it hito bullion and sell it ?" That time and capital are required to develop a quartz mining country never seems to occur to him. Truly what -with Cana-- . - * *���' diair ignorance of mining and general seept icisui, the indifference of British Columbia mossbacks, who run the government and represent the interests of the province in Europe, and the tariff legislation and national sentiment which prevents much American capital from coming in,.. West Kootenay has had a hard row to hoe. But things are changing. West Kooenay is becoming too tug a country to b" neglected. And the men who have-staid-with'-her camps'for ,ihe la.>t 1 ov o years will soon reap the fruits of their patience be they interested' in mines or real estate. The people in the camps in West Kootenay have been reproached for devoting too much time and money to real estate and not enough to mines.

FLETCHER, LAND COMMISSIONER, NELSON, B. 0 KltllS A iikixkuu*. Way back in the '50s I was tempoiarily handling the lines for the Kacraniotito Ovoiland Stage company, and it. wasmer lots (if land, I tellyou, for my'route tan through the roughest section of the Sierra Xevadns. One night about sunsct I was swinging along the rocky trail at a pretty good pace, as 1 wanted to reach Rabbit creek before dark, where we changed'horses and got supper. I had three passengers; all men, and for freight carried a barrel of gin strapped on behind the stage. There was gin for *' [ted Mike," who ran a free-and-easy at the mining-camp at Kabhit creek. .Suddenly my attention wa.s called by one of the passengers to a novel raq<\\which was going on down the side of ������he {mountain between a miner and a grizzly bear, with tbe man about 100 feet ahead running like a deet. But the bear was gaining rapidly aud it seemed that he had him Mire, when suddenly the'miner turned and darted ������>iT in another direction. The grizzly was slow in stopping, hut when ho did get straightened, the way that he'annihilated space was a caution to catamounts. Several times the miner played this trick, and on eac|i occasion gained considerable ground in one direct ion, but it could he seen he was rapidly tiring, and unless something happened the h'-ar was dead sure to get him. We weie won- during what we could do to help the poor fellow when suddenly the leaders suielled the grizzlv. Fliey snorted and pranced and started olT on a dend run. I put on the brake1, aud it was all I could do to stop them, and wouldn't have succeeded only the trail was up grade. Well, when the horses made their jump the barrel of gin broke loose from its fastenings and went tearing down the mountain side to- war i the man and bear, who were coming along on a dead run. The man >a\\v the barrel coming and axoided it, but not so with i he grizzly, lie Mood up on los bind legs and. reaching out his fore paw-, grabbed it. The way that barrel rolli-d him down the mountain would make a coyote laugh. 'Vlie i'mproinp'tn���������'���������journey was brought to a sudden-'ending by an immense.boulder, against which the hear and 'barrel rolled. The shock separated t hem, and. strange to say, t he barrel stobd-'riirhl side up w it h the head ..broken, in and only a small port ion ay tin'"hear, w as -surprised w ntild -be putting it dight. He tl.i'ought ie; had his quarry and. wh'eh he discovered it was -only a barrel his lace 'took on at������. expression of hit elise disgust. How- cv(!i', a.s is natural for "a bear, he began to lick his shaggv coat, which had been sprinkled with some -of the gin. -The taste was apparently . ���������a'Lrreeabhv as lm kept nn absorbing the liquor 'with his rough' tongue until the flavor disap- .'.���������pi-ared. Then he went over and smelled of the barrel. The inspection was undoubtedly 'highly satisfactory, as ho inserted his snout and took a sup, then lie took a good long draught, and in 'less than half an hour the bear was as drunk as a lot d. Wi> watched the proceedings with interest, a'nd after'we wei ������'sat istied the bear had a jag low n. tied him with ropes, drained Well, he did draw trade. "Mike" gave him a quart of whisky a dav, and after a while he became so docile that his chain was removed. After that he would sleep around the bar-room, and when one of the boys would come in and ask the house to drink, the grizzly would walk to the bar, stand on his hind legs and want to be served with a tincupfull of whisky. He was a source of great income, but. unfortunately, being attacked with delirium tremens one day, he killed the bartender and a miner with one blow of his powerful paw. and ir required 20 Winchesters and about 100 pounds ot lead to erne him of his uncontrollable passion tor intoxicants.

A chance for a bet: Which will, be the first producing mine, the Silver King or the Skyline?" /The Townsite Co. are how constructing a deep box drain from the waggon road to the foot of Sutton street. This will be of great service, especially in spring time when the melting snows send a torrent of water down our streets. Walter B. M. Davidson, F.G.S., A/R.S.M., London, England, last week made a close examination of the mineral deposits of this camp. Mr. Davidson is more than satisfied with the result of development work done and is very sanguine of a bright future for the country. N. A. Parent, the well-known mining rustler, has returned from Quebec. Mr. Parent says that the people of that section are slow to move in iliining matters, but are awakened to the fact that the great mineral deposits of British Columbia afford opportunities for the rapid acquisition of wealth,-unobtainable on the shores of the St. Lawrence. M. Wallace, the superintendent of the Neosho mine has returned from Seattle, and announces that as soon as the wagon-road is completed to the mine machinery will be placed in position and work resumed. Mr. Wallace has laid out the road and has let a contract for construction. Dan Clarke, the coil tractor, Js at work with a force of men. He has 80 days in which to complete his work. Thursday was the roughest day we have experienced this season on the lake. Half a gale was blowing from the southward and it was thought that the Nelson would have some difficulty in making a landing*. Under.'Capt. .Mc- Alphine's skilftiil handling however* she- was quickly tied up to the end of the new breakwater and passangers and freight were t ran fer red without difficulty. Judge Bond and captain Clarice of Seattle have been staying here a few days, en route to the Slocan, where the former geatleman holds options on several prospects. The judge, as a mining man of long experience, expresses himself as of the opinion that the best- market for our silver-lead ores will be found at home, and that there is no reason why the mining and local smelting of the high grade silver-lead ores of Kootenav lake should not he a financial success. Alec McLeod, was married on J tine 1st hy the rev. mr. Rogers to miss Temniie Harmon of the Bluebell. The ceremony was performed at the home of the bride, in the presence of a number of old friends and well-wishers of the contracting parties. The wedding gifts \\vt������re numerous and costly. At the conclusion <>f the ceremony the guests sat down to a capital supper after which a most enjoyable time was spent m social games and merry making which lasted until the small hours of the morning. All the hoys unite in wishing "good luck" to mr. and 'mrs. Alec McLeod. Sparks from the United's smoke stack set lire to the surrounding dry timber, and spreading. burned out the bridge across the creek as well as some 300 feet of cribbing. The lire is still smouldering, but it is hoped that the present wet weather will extinguish it, as some of the most yaluable tit n tier in the camp 1 ines hes i11 its course. Dr. Campbell arid his men did all they could to get the fire under cootrol, the doctor exemplifying in his own person the beautiful poem of "The Boy '.Stood- on the Burning Bridge;" but on ;the*..stringers' giving way concluded that, if he stood there his bag-', gage would be checked; for a warmer place than Troy.
