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.

As L had only provided provisions for ton days, seven of svhich had already passed, the prospects were not encouraging. Ilosvcver, at noon sve entered' the river.. Tiie noise of the rapids could be distinctly heard and in looking ��������� dosvn stream it certainlv gave one the impression of rugged anel dangerous r.-ipjdi- as the tree tops looked very far belosv us. To iidd to the diifieulties "the" snow . laid'very deep and soft on the tops of the large" and r waterc worn boulders which line the bunks making the walk- ing both tedious and arduous. By taking the proper precaution to make ahead and carefully examine every drop or rapid before deciding whether to run or line, sve covered the, whole distance without accident by 3 p.m. the next day, Friday the 22nd. " The actual "working and running time svns only JS hours "but in that' time sve ran tsventy-one and lined dosvn five rapids., The barometer 'the previous day fell 7-10 foretelling the end of our fine weather, and from this on, until we reached 'Rbvelstolco,'" there \ was' "a continuous dosvnrpour of cold rain and sleet, -i ,' a ������ ���������; ��������� -\ J estimate that the'distance in level betsveen the water of Kim basket lake and the foot of Canoe River Rapids is upwards of 100 feet. 0The .timber, hemlock, spruce and cedar,. along the banks sveie abundant and seemed to be of'good quality. Its only outlet to' market svill of course be down stream ,to Revelstoke. There were , many indications, in the wall rock, of minerals to be seen as'we passed. At 3:45 _ the same afternoon the mouth of Canoe river was made and camp pitched about four miles belosv, itt four o'clock, to give the men time to get dry before turning in. At' and about Canoe river the mountains recede from the river and the country appears to be of a losv les;el character lightly timbered.' There svas, much less snosv here than hitfierlo met with.' The next morning, Saturday the 2Sth, sit seven o clock sve proceeded'dosvn the river southward tow.ird Revelstoke. expecting that with , four men rosving and tsvo paddling,' aided by, the strong'current, ss-e svould make Death Rapids about midsvay betsveen Canoe river and Revelstoke, so mimed because of the number of men, drowned theio at dili'erent times in attempting to run them, in time to make the. portage before dark and find a good camping ground belosv. We had "but started, however, svhen a strong head- sviud sprang up, retarding our pi ogress to such an extent, thai sve did not en I or the canyon abos-e Death Rapids until a ft or five o'clock, landing iu the. oddy above the rapid about six. This only gave us time to pitch camn iii the best .place sve could find in theo snosv, svhich heio l.-iv deep os-er the boulders, and get dry si-ond and brush from far up the steep sides of the Canyon. The rain continued to come dosvn heavily.
