BC Historical Newspapers
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.

' The stickleback is one of the species of fish that build nests.

When Noah found out who had done the deed ho ordered as a punishment that the culprit should be compelled each year to build a nest, while other fishes would have an easy time of it. i FoIlowiiiK- In IIIn FootMtciiM. , ' , Visitors to, China are particularly struck'by the .numbers of pairs of boots hung in separate wooden cages in the^aichway of the main west gate of Ilsuanhua, the valedictory gifts of beneficent prefects.

Before a certain gentleman set out lor Japan 'and India his,relatives gave him errands. One wanted an Indian shawl, another a silver Buddha, a third a chryselephantine carving, and so on. till the list of commissions was appalling. He agreed, however, to fill them so far as possible. But when he returned he had executed but one of the nineteen commissions that had been given him., lie had brought back only the chryselephantine (.arvmg. 'This he gave to one smiling cousin amid the disappointed looks of the-other relatives. Why, tho disappointed ones asked, had he executed that one particular commission and disregarded tlie rest? The traveler smiled. "It happened," lie began quietly, "that each of you had written your commission on a sheet of paper. On the second day of tho voyage out I took all these sheets of paper from my notebook, opened them and .-pread them on my lfll) as I reclined in my steamer chair. "The air was very still at the time, but suddenly a brisk wind sprang up, and every sheet was blown away except that of Cousin Max.

Never was'a Canadian'political leader in the Dominion held so handicapped by incompetent lieutenants. Sir Wilfrid, when in Opposition, had behind him some bnnnie fighters, and however worsted he might be in the division, he usually scored in the debate. But Mr. Borden has had to do practically the, whole work himself. Sproule, Glancey, Hughes. Gourley, Pope and the ie-t of Mr. B01 den's lieutenants can talk' by the hour, day, week or month; but mere talk in' itself is the most ineffective of,weapons.

The1 music furnished a week ago, on Front street, was much enjoyed by the guests at the hotels' as well as by tho lesidents of tli.it part of the city. The excellence to which the band has attained is largely due to the untiring dibits of their leader, R. H. Sawyer. L ARRESTED FOR COINING Spurious Money. The establishment of new industries is generally comnvendable, but it-has its limitations, the principal" one of which is that such an" industry must tend-to the good, of the community and the wbiId at large. ��������� One of the safeguards of mod ere 'finance is that all ��������� coin' for circulation as money must be made in a mint under special supervision of 'constituted authority. Gold, silver, or any other metal, may be bought and sold like other articles of'meichandise, but the law allows'no one to mint coin,,^ purporting to be curre'nt'"money, even ' though the' metal be up to the standard "of purity. But when coin of base metal is made and circulated as.the'genuine article, the'crime is greater, unci" tho punishment more,severe. , Who would have thought that Revelstoke, the-good, would have a citizen'that would take such 'unlawful means to acquire wealth ? But that such is the case the sequel will show.^ "For some time the slot ' musical machine tat, the Climax Hotel has been the depositary of spurious 50 cent pieces, and a watch was set to find out "the guilty person.

The wotk consists of a huge concrete dam at Lake Beautiful,'on Burrard Inlet, about tweUe ,'milcs ���above the city of Vancouver. The Like is situated half ,i mile from the fchoie of the inlet, and at mi elevation of'100 ft. above sea level. On, the ' shore of the inlet n power house h,.s lieen built of granite .mil hailing into it from the dam abo\e aie three steci pipe lines, each four and a halt feet in diameter.

A ��� ?)m) ' smaller pipe line, leads to the motor ���which rum- the exciter. Outlets have] been provided at the dam *for seven j jnoro pipe-lines, thus constituting a' system capable of developing 30.000 .horse power. A million dollars has .-already been expended in the work. Connected with the system is another enterprise gigantic in itself. Separated from Lake Beautiful by a lofty mountain is Coquitlam Lake, a iarge sheet of water, the tource of the <Coquitlam river which joins the J?ra/.er above New Westminster. The level of this lake is 30 ft. above Lake .Beautiful, and a tunnel is being run 4o connect the ��t\\0 lakes so as to -afford ample supply of water for power purposes" This tunnel is being ���driven through solid granite and will be two and a half miles in length -when ��� completed. An electrically operated tramway h.is been run the length of the tunnel as the work proceeded. K.ind air drills arc tif-ed. .So ��ll'iciently has the work been planned siiid carried out that, though tho tunnel has been run half irs dUtaiice, "the work is proceeding nt rapidly as ���when beginning from the portal.

Here are to be found all the elements, required to constitute a rich and progressive .district,' consisting of , rich agricultural soil, magnilicent herbage for cattle, sheep and horses, a salubrious climate,' favorable to health and fruit growing, together with boundless foicsts of timber. Throughout the valley are scattered ranches and farms, and during the past year considerable att- ntion has been given to the cultivation of cereals. "" The nutritious grasses of the foothills on both side's of the valley afford ample food supply for horses, cattle and sheep, abundance,of good water, it light snow fall and moderate climate make this an ideal country for stock raising. Considerable attention is given to fruitgrowing. At Wasa, Tracy creek. Fish lakes and in the vicinity of Port 3.cole there are'a'number ��� of small orchards which are doing well. Tt is estimated that several thousand fruit trees, which have been ordered, will be set out next spring. Small fruits, such as stiiawlierri.es, raspberries, currants and gooseberries do well and are' exceptionally luscious.' The local market is large, and will steadily develop, owing to the rapid development nf'the mining industry, and the increase of railway interests by the construction of the Kootenay Central Kaihvav.

A jather strong vein of mineralized quartz occurs on the lake shoi'e,below Abraliniiison creek.' On the mountain slopes southwest of the valley, isolated groups-'of chums have_ been staked, practically along the'whole 'length of the valley, some of thein furnishing very iproinising looking siimples. From the position and number of these locutions, this'may bo considered to form a thiid mineraPbclt.' That the locations have not been niore numerous may -p'eilmps be explained by (tho dilliculties in the way of prospecting, due to the vegetation and to lack of facilities for getting supplies into this part of the distiict., 'The Lucky Boy' claim on th'e shoulder of the hill south depth of [Trout creek, about tlnec miles from/Trout' Lake City, is being developed^ aiid is shipping some' ore. 'Seveial ���������-open ' cuts and ,,one,or two inclines have been run on 'the 'main vein, which varies fiom a few inches to seveial feet wide. , In the main stope it pitches south-westward at rather a high7'-angle.. 7But for the' most part ( it'is almost horizontal, with perhaps a slight south-westerley dip,-cuttin'g almost at right angles the formation, (schist or altered silicified phyllites), which dips north-eastward at an "angle' of 'about' So- degrees. There are several parallel ��������� fissui'es which are ' not so well mineralized. Some inclusions of country rock,occur in these and there is'evidence of replacement. The quartz is somewhat cjrusy, and 'the ore often occupies these druses or occurs sciitteied through the .quartz, ( in - kidney or almond-shaped masses, or as.small vein lets. The ore consists of galena, te trailed rite, zincblende, calcopyrite, pyrite and a little native'silver. . On the furface -it weathers to lend and xooper carbonates,' . On the������������������Hoi se" Fly; adjoining the-.'Lucky. Boy, the "ore occurs in limestone. ' On ' the Ruffed Grouse.' Copper Chief,',and WXiow Grouse claims, some distance above the'"Lucky Boy, the sa'me minerals, occur. The. sulphides, reticulate through the 'qu.ut/.' as if formed later, or collected by concentration, ' so that in places it 10- sembles breccia!oil oio, with the fragments cemented by sulphide. ' j'yiito is'here moiof plentiful, and masses of pyrrhofito'and some molybdenite also occur. JThe relationship of tlio metallic minerals to one anothci ii interesting.' '1'lie galena is found both imaml stuiounding totrnhedruo; the blende encloses both. Chalcupy- rite encloses and .forms ' veins in the, foregoing,'ami pyn'to and galena form the matrix for Ihe others.. The ordei of development "would seem to be,; galena, teliahediite, chnlcopyrite and pyrite, galena,1 blonde, but'', from the way in which the cluilcopyrite ,sur-' i omuls and eats into the tclrahcdiito, it looks iisjf it, was formed by alter-, ation^of' the latter, and, fiom the frequency with which it occurs as'u ,thin seam between tetrii lied rite and pyrite, as if the action of the iron sulphide on the'letriihedrito inight' 'have induced, this , leaction. The practical bearing of' this lies in r.!,e fact that vs>ince the totriiliedrito was ono of the first formed minerals, ther. is firmer pound 'for our/ belief that the lich' mineral.,,will ''continue at Woik Ethel on Glacier creek. '" r .x..��������� ' ' Some good showings' of 'Ore are said to occur on claims up 'Five-Mile, and Canyon ciceks, but the season was too short, to enable a tiip to-be - liiade to them., Sonic ore was being packed V. * Trout Lake from the American mine at the h'ead-,of ' Amciic.ui -creek) a* claim located'on the central 'mineial belt. The clainis.on'.. the Trout lake district enjoy the great aclvantage of being near transportation facilities, permitting a lower" grade ore to be shipped.

' '_ , ��������� ', The Social Character - ," of the game.' The happy'mixing and mingling of all classes of the community is productive of the very best ,rcsults. 1 Nothing goes further to reconcile the inequalities of the 'social scale than to -seej; those-vvho .are at the t'op of'the ladder, taking a lively and intelligible,interest in the national sports and pastimes of the people. The late Earl of Eglinton, of Flying Dutchman and Tournament fame, was foremost in his hearty.* encouragement of all such sports; in fact, he may be said to have created the game of Bowls by thc;great efforts he put forth, to popularize it,, while nothing in the wide woild possibly presented a greatci attiacliou to himt than to head tlie playei s of Kilwinning in their bonspiels against ' neighboring paiishcs His Lordship was a very skilful player himself, and associated with him weie Hugh Conn, auctioneer;, John' Napier, (stiidgioom, and, Robert', Bi own of, Lileston. John played the' lead with a pair of 50 pound stones; Robert came next with ;. pan of'-jS pound; Hugh Conn played 46 or -|4 pound, as the day, might require, while, his lordship skipped with a pair of 42 pound. They, weie all powerful men, as well as good play- ci's (Hugh Conn was the finest player I e^i .saw), and thus' equipped, they "scarcelys ever knew defeat. I dilce saw them sadly pu/.zlcd, however, and although victoiy ultimately tested rwith thenv, it was,only by, a 11,11 iovv majoiity The day was, one of the finest, imaginable for theisport; the ait' was sliaip. the "snow , crisp, and the''ice polished like, _ a _minor. Thcy'had then'heaviest metal wuli' them, and as luck would have it, 111 diaw they fell against a nnk of.pig- 'nues whose weightiest stone little' e\ceded>34lb. .Nothing could be nioic entertaining than to watch the chag- sin, mixed vv till amusement, of his Lordship*' and ' his playcis as their grjeat stones'cliove their, opponents ftom ihe ling,'but scarcely tccling the touch followed, and by dint of 'clever sweeping, wcic 111 luin cair-, ied cleai ot it'themsclves If was a game played under cucumst.inccs such as 1 nevci saw bcfoie or since spectators while ,over1100' rinks of enthusiastic curlers'engage in the game. When the north, in*turn; is the scene of contest, it takes place at Green- loauing, between 'Stirling and,Perth, on a series of flushes rented by the Caledonian Club, and thus perfect safety���������an important element'I where so many people are drawn",together ���������is secured. The line in, this .case is shifted to the'Forth, and it'is generally found that, whatever distiict is visited by the club, from that side there is sure to be a- prcpondeiance of rinks, Unfortunately foi some years past the frosti was'-noi strong enough to permit of bringing off this game, but this year the commiuce had their arrangements early completed, and on Friday, the 13th, the great event came off,at Lochwiiinoch. So far as the s'fate of rhe ice was concerned nothing better 'could have been desired; but alas I a fog settled on the'loch, and narrowed the span of vision'to a score or two of yaidV on eillici side, so that visitors had ' to grope their vvay about ' without, in many instances, even ( seeing ' their fi iends, while, at no 'moment fiom start to finish did the fog lift sufficiently to give a full view of the scene. ���������*��������� Little now lemains for me to say.

It is very rare to find a llayer deliver his stone in such a way }s to send it straight to the mark, /hich, given pei fectly fair ice, it I/ould do if it were prevented from lurning. As the player dehveis his jtone he imperceptibly inclines the Biandlc inwardly 01 outwai dly���������if in- Ivardly, then the stone gyrates on its Jentrc from left to right, and if the jiottom'is small on which it runs, and Jhe-ice keen, a veiy moderate twist ivill make it fall to the right, perhaps li couple or more feet. Of course if nutwardly the opposite effect is pro- jiuced, and it is considered of prime Importance that a skip should be able Jo cither twist, as by that means he j.vill often be enabled to reach a stone that otherwise would be safe from a Uraight shot. With young players it F^Jangerous to allow them to experiment in twisting, as they are almost rtain if they get off the natural, to !"e far too much power to the hand ball, it hot only bioke up the lead ' but sent the stone it stiuck first into a thousand pieces, to the intense amusement 01 his loidship and the "���������spev-tatois Xot so howevci, 'felt ihe pooi weavci to wjioni the stone had belonged, .is he sadlv gazed on the dcstiuction that had been vvi ought, but his son owing was soon tinned to lCjoicmg when his loidship oulered a pan of his own, with coio- 'net caivcd upon them, to be bi ought irom the house, gi acefully pi csentcd them to him, and so, made the happiest man on the ice.

It is very rare to find a |layer deliver his stone in such a way (s to send it straight to the mark, vhich, given pei fectly fair ice, it l/ould do if it were prevented from miming. As the player delivers his Jtone he imperceptibly inclines the Biandle inwardly or outwardly���������if in- Jvardly, then the stone gyrates,on its Tentre from left to right, and/ if the Jio'ttom is small on which it runs, and (he ice keen, a very ^moderate twist Jvill make it fall to the right, perhaps 11 couple or more feet. Of course if putwardly the opposite effect is produced, and it,,is considered of prime Importance that a skip should be able lo either twist, as by that means he i.vill often be enabled to reach a stone that otherwise ..would be safe from a jjtraight shot. With young players it ,3angerous to allow them to experi- Jncnt in twisting, as they are almost rtain if they get off the natural, to (re far too much power to the hand- and thereby the stone loses force thing like the velocity of a cannon bajl) it not only'bioke up the lead( btit sent th'e stone it stiuck first into, a "thousand pieces, * to i'the intense amusement of his lordsliip" and the %pectatois Xot so howevei, telt^ | the poo'r weavei to whom th'e stoncs [ had belonged,"as' he sadly gazed on } the destruction that had been I wiought, but his soirow 111? was soon tinned to lejoicmg when his loidship ordered a pair of his oun, with coio- net caived upon them, to be bi ought tiom the house, giacefully presented them to him, and so "made the happiest man on the ice I have noticed the 'game in its healthful and social aspects, I would now say a word on the ������ Charity it draws foith ,When Scotland was a much poorer^countty than it is now theic was less 1e.1l povet ty"and destitution than at present pievails In those not veiy 1 emote daya the game ".as nirlulged^ in by a wider cu cle tlian 7s to be found engaging in it now, and the contests \\ere tiequcnth- tor a 'beef and gicens dinner," and the game ' being played ovei , again with many additions, at the testive vboai d .
