The Kootenay Mail was published in Revelstoke, in the Columbia-Shuswap region of southeastern British Columbia, and ran from April 1894 to December 1905. The Mail was published by the Revelstoke Printing and Publishing Company, and its longest-serving editor was J. Livingstone Haig. In 1906, the Mail merged with the Revelstoke Herald to form the Mail-Herald, a staunchly conservative paper that eventually folded due in part to competition from a more liberal competitor, the Revelstoke Review.

A contract.' for transporting 5,000 tons of ore to Jennings, Montana, has been lot, oOOO tons of which is now at: the., landing. Any ore worth less than $1:2 a ton is thrown on thc dump to await cheaper transportation. The property is developed by about .")00 feet of tunnel, shaft and open cuts. ,Tbe ore body is very lai-gp, being GO feet wide, and five tons to the man is considered a day's work for the miner.

Additional iidvic.es received from Buluwayo, show that (be work of placing tbe to.vn in a stale of defence has bot-ii completed, so far as the menus' at hand permit.

'' Wo had,a. very pleasant fall up to two weeks ago, then jt turned cold, and it is now GO " degrees below zei'o." A loiter from Forty Mile, January 6, says : "Of all, the two'hundred or' ' throe hundred who left the basin at" the beginning of winter, so far as 1 "have been able to learn, nearly everyone of them was broke". There was 'cine Frenchman who took out a couple of thousand dollars. My greatest surprise since leaving was when we entered the basin last March. There were about a dozen in our party, some of whom had spent eight or ten years iu the basin, and they were all broke. Still they had made people, on the outside believe they were. rich. At present our best prospect is the hope of getting trust at the stores, but if the miners are,fortunate next summer, everything will be O.K.' Last summer was a failure. There arc no new prospects to speak of, there being but two places in the neighborhood( where gold has been found in suiiicient quan- ��������� lilies to pay for the working.

Wil ' * UJUJ-iaLJ-UR-gS KGOTEMY IN PARLIAMENT. ,THE DEP.ATE ON THE VOTERS' LIST ' FOR THIS CONSTITUENCY! Hon. Jos. Martin and Mr. Mara Discuss the Subject in the House of Commons���������Martin and Prior on the Crow's Nest Pass Road. PORTABLE ! PRACTICAL,!! ECONOMICAL !!! Brief mention was made in the Mail ' ii coupie of 'weeks ago regarding' the ��������� discussion in this House of Commons on the necessity for some special provision,being made in this constituency, in order tiiat a considerable, nuinbei' of citizens might not be disfranchised in the I'm fiicoining' federal ^elections. Since turn the to-*.t of the debate has been ttoeiveil and, as itfs such an un- "usual. thing to hear of li. C, 'and especially Kootenay, affairs being considered bylht- Parliament at Ottawa, we gl .dlv give the matter a more extended icference. The debate . in question occurred upon a motion made by the member for Winnipeg, Hon.' Jos.'Martin, for a copy of the votei.s' list for the constituencies of Yale and Cariboo. He said : " lion, gentlemen opposite are, aware that in British Columbia there has beon, during tlie lastyoiu -or two, a great revival in- mineral excitement, a.iicl mineral-discoveries, and that that has occui red more thiin in any other 'part of the Province, in the' Kootenay district, a portion of the constituency of mj* lion, i friend from Yale. The House knows, that for the next election the' constituency of Cariboo has been united with Yale, and that hereafter we are to have a single constituency of Yale and Cariboo. I am not very sure'of the distances, but X ��������� Uiink in that new constituency it niu>t be " aU-iub20.) miles from east1 to west, and three oi four hundred miles from north to south.' It is most natural Ihat the. making of .the voters' lists under the Dominion Franchise. Act for a constituency ,of such magnificent distances, must be a matter of very ,considerable ..difficulty; and I think,I e,-ni0fiiirly' say th.-it tbe voters' list.* which was made at the last revision for that constituency is a, most, unsatisfactory one., 1 believe that, in .some, places, the notices did not reach the people, and 1 know, from information I have received, that there is a large number of. persons , scattered all through that eonstituoncy who are fully entitled to -vote, but, whose names are not on the list. That is one, of tbe things which must'naturally happen' under the operation of the very unfaii franchise Jaw we now have. .But what. 1 i-iso particularly to point out i.s, (hat on account of this mineral excitement, tliere is one portion of the. constituency, naniely tbe Kootenay district, which has almost entirely grown up since tho revision of the lists. Towns that existed in ISO!, when the lists, were revised,'have been very hugely iiiri'eai*(-*d by people coming into them from other parts of British Coluiiibia .and Canada generally. In one instance, there is a new "town .whose population al present exceeds j 3,000 people, very few of whose mimes j arc on the lists and which has no poll- j of n-'.u-ly SlU ing place at all. The polling place for J 00 odd polibi'j Bo-sslaud is af Vbinota. Xnw, I amj wirh told,'' that.e frotn Holland -to /frail, which is upon the water, is eight miles, and that from Trail to Wat.eUi Js 12 or 1 ! miles by water or by trail.

The flimsy material of which the Beclinana huts were constructed, and the close maimer in which they ���������were huddled together, also gave tho traders another advantage, for the na- tivca did not dare to fire the ptores for fear of setting tho whole town in a blaze.
