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.

Byron White, of the .Slocan Star, owner of an important iron mine in Michigan, and a professional miner from hisc youth up, said to me: ' The mineral of the Slocan camp will average 123 ozs. in silver .and 70 per cent, lead, and this is a low estimate. The ore i.s very similar' and requires the same treatment a*, the concentrating ores of the Gu*ur d'AIcne, the. only dill'oronco being tliat.Slocan ore is very, high grade and CVeur d'AIene low grade.' Mr. "White considers that the reputation of Llio Slocan is established beyond doubt, though it has nob been 'run over,' much less prospected, yet. The showings here are as plentiful as they were at Leadville, but they are 30 per cent richer'; the actual mining here is cheap aiid easy; tho low price of silver' will divert a great deal'of mining ^capital, to this', country as being the L.A.FBETZ; ' '. * " BUILDER. , Will figiu'c on all kinds of Buildings ;' all kinds "of House, Store and- Office ^XEXnrniture repaired or made to" order'; all kinds"of Sliopwork in my line neatly and promptly executed by skillcdcand experienced hand.

"While himself has done a good deal of work upon his mine, having driven three tunnels and 'commenced a fourth.,, Nine hundred tons of clean galena are waiting al Three Porks for the train ^yliich should be there next ."July, and in the 700 feet of tunnelling al the Star enough' may be seen to justify Mr. White's ,boast tliat when once he begins shipping he will slap out his ore at the rate of a million a year, and to make one believe that he is right when' he prophecies that in Slocan we have a greater Leadville; (hat in three to five years a population of at least 20,000 will be working there, and that even at present prices it.will pay us lo ship,and al 70 to SO cents will pay ns well.' "But though the Sioc m Star is perhaps the gem of the group it must nut be imagined that il i.s without rivals. The country is, full of real mines, the names only of some of which we have room lo,mention, such' as the Noble Five group," the Grady ��� group, the Washington, Noonday, Idaho, Mountain Chief, etc.* There are to-day a score of shipping mines in the country, and though i things seem dead in the real estate market, quiet, business-like mining men like Messrs.' Hughes k White,' Finch, 'TMTonahan aud' their fellows are busy laying the foundations of real wealth beyond the dreams of the, "boomers." A .slight indication of the wealth to be expected from Slocan is conveyed in the fact that between August and December of last year $130,5SS worth of ore was shipped from Kaslo alone, iu spite of the excessively high freight rate it must, have had to pay, being hauled over the snow on sleighs. ' The biggest, of tho mine for himself if he chooses; that capital is likely to be diverted to the development of our mines seems reasonable from the causes alluded to above; thai the mining of our ores is cheap and easy is ad- milted by practical wen. What then do we still want to make our Slocan into a greater Leadville. the salvation of this somewhat depressed Province ? Nothing, it 'seems lo us, except time, ifind perhaps smelters at some' point on the lake where the various ores may be gathered together and used to smelt each other,'and coking coal, perhaps from the Crow's Nest pass,to feed such smelters. Outsiders ask why the Koolenay eounlryclakes so long to develope, why she does not ship lier ores faster, etc*; Will any one tell us why bona fide. mine owners should lo.se 2.73 per cent, on their capital by hauling out their ore to-day on horses' backs when by waiting a year theycau avoid that loss, or will they point to a country developed more rapidly by poor men foi' the 'most part, iinding, developing aud working their own properties,' strong in a faith which their mountain 'surroundings could not cow nor a silver panic shake ? TRAIL CREEK MINES. ��� Rich Strike on the Nickel Plate. , Reportehave heen brought to North- port, says the Ncicn, that tho richest strike yet'made in the gold district of Tiail Creek was made at the Nickel Plate mine last week. This' mine is owned principally by Ed. Uaney, who is a pioneer in the district, aud the ore has averaged, by the carload, $7S per ton. The main vein in the Nickel Plate has been exceedingly rich, but.small iu comparison with the other ore veins of this district���carrying only about two feet of ore, but il has now spread out to oG inches, and the ore appeals to be. richer than ever before. Le TRoi mine has provedithe Trail Creok district to be permanent in its richness, and now the Nickle Plate i.s at a stage that will add several per cent, to its value and permanence, as the recent discovery proves it to be one of lho best proper- tics in the district. Trail Creek is in the North Riding of West ICootenav. ,THE BLACK.PLAGUE IN CHINA. , IMMENSE ORE DEPOSIT. Alleged Auriferous .,Vein of Amazing- Size. , Ari immense body of quartzite auriferous ore, a solid body one mile wide by two miles long, containing 1,150 acres, has recently been discovered between Rat Portage and Port Arthur, about 20 miles'south of the Canadian Pacific railway. 'This is without doubt the largest body of auriferous ore in America, if not in the world, aud the importance of its discovery, not only to this mining district, but lo the whole Dominion of Canada, i.s ,.-it present incalculable. A��5h.'ivs taken from diffcr- rrP* " ,i out parts of the property average $S in gold and $1 in .silver. The, ore of the great "Treadwell" mine, in Alaska, which ha*-, astonished lho world bv -the u i * enormous wealth qf its output, only averages $3 \w.v ton, but works about .$."500 stamps. Therefore, some idea may be had of the value of this recent discovery, when 'developed and worked on a comparative scale, but al a much cheaper rate, not exceeding, say, 73c."a ton for quarrying and milling," with ore in sight for generations. The property lias been placed qn'the market in England and the United States, and no doubt will attract the attention of mining men and capitalists, as-its prospective'profits will become fabulous'incprop6rtion to the ex- lent of its development, and will draw the attention of the mining., conmuin- ily of the world to this long neglected region of wealth. Geologists have expressed the opinionulhat this great deposit may be. from 8,000 to 10,000 feet deep." ' " < o FLOOD INCIDENTS: . MINDJfi INTELLIGENCE.

In view of' the' terrible * plague . prevailing in Hong Kong and Southern China, our, Govermnent should not wait until the disease has been'in traduced into this province before taking steps towards prevention. .The si cam- ships from China should at once be (.quarantined for a few daj'S at least. San Francisco is taking action'in'tlie matter, and it is to be hoped that British Columbia will liot be the gateway through which the dreaded plague will gain a foothold on this continent. That the outbreak is a serious one the following willrshov:��� , Most important news was brought by the Empress of Japan of the alaiming spread of the virulent plague that first appeared in Canton jit the end of April. The plague is similar lo the great plague in London in the sixteenth ceutury and is carrying of! large numbers of victims. Jlsoon spread to 1 long Kong, appearing there in TMay. It is chiefly confined to Chinese. The plague has paralyzed business to a largo extent, as the leading steamship lines refuse to take either passengers or cargo from TEIong Kong,*' The Symplons of disease are as follows:���Without premonitory warning in the shape of a, chill, there, is a sudden inset of fever, rising lo 105 degrees or over; there is much .headache, accompanied by stupor: in twelve or twenljvfour hours a glandular swelling occurs in the neck or armpit, increasing to'the size'of a fowl's egg, being hard and tender, with or without the decline of fever." the patient sinks into a condition of coma and dies at the end of 24 or -IS hours. If six days is reached recovery is possible. The Canton correspondent of a Hong Kong paper says scarcely a house has not had some dead! The plague commenced in the TMahoimnedan quarter, and 100 are reported daily. One man stationed at the west gate began al 0 o'clock in the morning to drop a ������cash" into a box each time a coilin passed him. At 4 p.m. be had 170 "cash.'' Children were pul in baskets or wrapped in pieces of matting and buried. It is impossible to ascertain the number of de<i��hs. Officials try to supress the facts. At the largest charitable (native) dispensary a notice at the door stales that up to date 2,000 coffins bad been given away. This is far below the actual number used. Chinese residents of Hong Kong are opposing tho enforcement of sanitarv measures. On TMay j j 20th there were 41 new cases and 50 ' death-, and on the following day 40 i new case* and 45 death-. The natives owners are holding back their mineral and doing dead work until the railways enable them to ship at a reasonable price. T.RA1T, CHEEK. "Trail Creek is a newer and less developed camp than any of the others, but ^exceedingly rich in more or less rei'actory ores. Unlike tho ores of the neighbouring camps' the Trail Creek ore is copper pyrites, carrying a considerable quantity of gold and from li to 7 or S ozs. of silvei- to the ton. The mines of this class in* the Trail Creek camp are the Le TRoi, Josie, Nickel Plate, Wai Eagle, etc." Of these the Le Eoi has the largest body of shippiug ore and has shipped 1,100 tons, which returned * $51 per ton in gold. The Nickel Plate is uhe richest, but the figures given me for this mine, although well attested, seem too high for a sober report like this. Besides those properties and others somewhat similar (i.e. Consolidated Chief, etc.,) there is in this camp an exceptionally fine concentrating property, the Mountain View, which concentrate's at 10 to 1 and averages $20 lo the ton in gold, 3 or <1 ozs. in silver and scarcely anything in copper. Since October, 1S!W. this young camp has shipped 1,510 tons (all of which has been .sent to Tacoma), running from $22.50 to $75 per ton and 14 per cent, copper, although 10 tons sent from the O- 1\. returned $175 per ton. "That we have the mineral and that it "goes down" is now allowed; thai at 70 cents all our principal mines can ship al a profit and tliat a very large proportion of them can ship at a profit even at present prices is the contention of men who ought to know: that ,we shall very shortly (this year) have all the railway facilities which we can i are leaving liy the thousands daily on reasonably require to pul our mineral j account of the plague: 10O.U00 people down al point* where three {ran.-con-> have already fled and 1,500 deaths have linenlal line- (t he C P. ]{.. tiie Creat j occurred.

A Riverside man is authority for the statement that the rats made their, home's in the trees there when the Mood' drove them from the barns and fields. A flood story is that coyotes from the. Thompson River country floated down the Fraser on, the trees; and made night hideous with their plaintive cries along the route.. A novel experience of travellers in one of the Submerged villages was their being conveyed in rowboatsand canoes into the refreshment room of the leading hotel,' where the dispenser operated from a high perch above the flood. ��� A Nicomen Island rancher tells of how be saw a Iar^e sturgeon dash into the little milk house of a neighbor with the result that the cabin, then just on the point of floating, was started down the current on its journey seaward. The' young'English ranchers about Mission speak'of their disaster'in'a jocular vein. "This will be an excellent fertilizer," said one. "What a pity, though, we did not know it was coming, so that we might have taken a holiday, and not gone to the expense of labor and seed for the crops." ' ' The little mountain east of Sumas was covered with live stock of every description, and the pigs killed and ate some of the sheep.

That the inundation has been very general, the loss ruinous and the destruction terrible, i.s true, but still there are some fortunate men who have come out scatheless, notwithstanding the unheard-of depth of the overflow. We have a list of forty prominent farmers repicsonting 5,000 acres of land near the town, which have remained high and dry during the whole siege of waters. The same will a]>ply to the town. Notwithstanding a large number of residents have been driven out of their homes, while some have been compelled to lake to the upper stories, the majority of the business bouses were free of watei*, and business was conducted as usual." .

Neither of t.he candidates have made a moui since our last issue. ' Dut the big 'meeting of the campaign i.s to be* held* in Peterson's Hall to-night, when the two candidates will wrestle with each other on a common platform. Our position in thin contest i.s rather a trying one. AVe wisii to retain the policy' of inde- pcndencc on' which this paper was start ed, but we have; no desire to'be neutral. Jt lias been our aim to give each candidate a fair field and no fa\or, but from piesent appearances this policy will be hardly workable. , 'Both sifles seem to be imbued with the idea that the pa]icr that is not. for tliem is against them. Il is funny how politics will war]) the minds of the best of men. And not only are men afHit-ted this way, but newspapers'as . well. Last week an Opposition'paper quoted some election news from this1 M<dl, and commenced the paragraph this way-: "Tlie Kootenay Examiner (Govt.)"" The, Columbian made the mistake not only of calling, this paper the A'.>:anui>nr, but also of calling it a Cioverniuenl organ. Simultaneously wiih this there appeared in a Government coast paper an extract from the Mail, with the intimation that it was '��� cut from an Opposition paper. We ,_niu.->t once more state that while these , columns are open to both parties, the editor must decline l��,i attack one side or one candidate at. the instigation of the other.1 In'touching polities''very few can keep clear of personalities, but we do* not refuse lo publish even personalities, provided the writer appends his '.signature. 'AVe see so many instances where 'newspapers have to do i 11 the dirty, work of tlieir party by twisting .sensible; speeches by the other ' side 'into ridiculous utterances; liy making absurd and foolish charges against opponents, which lliey proceed ' lo prove without an atom of proof; and when Ihey succeed in unearthing a '��� mare's nest" these party hacks do not hide their heads in shame or try to undo some of the evil they, have wrought or scrape off some of the mud i they have flung. Oii, no; they start up fiesh game, take up a new scent, and, at the instigation ,of their, party leaders, proceed on tlie same old lines of mud throwing and villifying, -well knowing that such political swill is- ' like nectar to their readers, which are ., 'limited to one party and one color. It would be a pity to make the Mail acceptable to only one class of readers, ' which result must follow its becoming an organ of either party. Let us endeavor to see things as they are, and not ' in the baleful light which party politics cast around them. ' 7>ul such moulh- ings as emanate from the party organs in this district, in this province, in the Dominion, and on the whole continent, with exceptions, will have no mouthpiece in the Mail, for they are not politics, and only tend to strengthen unbiassed readers and visitors in the belief that the people of this country know nothing whatever of politics in the true sense of the word. We have nothing to attack, ^other than the introduction of personalities, which, like' the boomeiaug, generally come back to the thrower. Both candidates are able men, experienced in . legislative work, and each commands a respectable following throughout, the riding. TTMost of the electors will vote from purely personal motives. There are, no doubt, some who will vote the straight party ticket, irrespective of ,tiie candidate representing that party. Both are "good fellows," and have personal friends on the opposite side.

It is excellently printed, and contains some really beautiful cuts of prize fowls between its light brqwn wrappers. , "���������>' Messrs. George and John Terryberry are building a new house on Douglas street. George is at present the owner of the prettiest. house in town, and what he is building another for is a -matter for conjecture. It. points to matrimony, although no one thought the event'was so near. He is looking out for a blacksmith to carry on' his business during his wedding trip. Henry Needham, one of Miller's gang of bridge-men working at the* 13th crossing on the C.P.R., received a nasty cut in tlie hip last week. . A fellow-workman was using an adze close by, and'Needham stepped backward within the swing of the implement. The cut was three inches long and two inches deep. Dr. McLean, who was called in,put in three stitohes. Several more or less serious accidents have .occurred at the. ,13th crossing during "the past week, Dr. McLean being called almost every day to attend some one of the bridge gang!! who have been engaged on the reconstruction of the bridge at that point. Amongst the sufferers were tlie foreman, Wm. Miller, who was hit on the head with a bridge timber; he is recovering.' Geo. John-, son, a Swede, had a painful cut inflicted on his foot with an adze. , Mr. E. Goodwin, of Chicago, writes to a friend in Revelstoke, enquiring as to the placer mine on French Creek (the' Consolation), and also as to the wherebouts of Andy Hunker. * Mr. Goodwin was here some three years ago, and enquired after Mr. Roeser and Dr. Campbell, who were then in charge of, Revelstoke smelter. Mr. .Goodwin concludes by saying : " My desire for the mountains is getting so strong that maybe I will be out your way this summer." There will be 15 polling stations in the North Riding :���������Government Oflice, Revelstoke; Govern men tOlliceNakusp: Illecillewaet, Lardeau (as the Lardeau bridge is gone the nolling will take place at Thomson's Lauding), Glacier, Trail Creek, Robson, Fire Valley, Trout Creek(between Upper and Lower Arrow Lakes), Sanderson s*Hot Springs (Upper Arrow Lake), Hall's Landing, Trout Lake; Big Bend���������Cames Creek, Downie Creek and French Creek. Mr. J. D. Graham, Government Agent, is the Returning Officer A serious accident occurred ata point four miles below Green Slide, on Tuesday last, by'which two men were seriously injured. The accident was caused by the premature explosion of a blast. Patrick Bowden, foreman of the gang, was inspecting the blast at the time and had his eyes injured to the extent that he may loose the sight of one of them. He has been brought- to Revelstoke for treatment. One of the men in the gang, a Swede, was so pitted with sand and gravel that he is in a very critical condition, and his recovery is doubtful. it legal for every name sent in before June 2nd to be placed oh the. voters' list at once. This will place several names on the North, Riding list which otherwise would not be entitled, to go on until some time after the. election was over. Tbe number of voters now on the list is over 5o0. Allowing for absence, sickness and unwillingness to lose time, it may,be. safely reckoned upon'that 75 per cent, of these will- go to the poll. This will give 412 votes for the riding. Supporters of both candidates claim that their man will poll 200 votes at least; so that probably the odd 12 votes will decide the contest. The same Order-in-Council directs that" the collector shall hold a court on the tenth day before the election (not being Sunday, then if Sunday "on the 'ninth day) for the purpose of hearing and deciding all objections to the retention of any.names on the register under authority of this Order, and at such court shall retain the name upon the register' of voters,* or erase it according to law." Also, that " each collector shall forthwith post up in his office a list of all .names transferred to the register of voters, and a copy thereof shall be placed in some conspicuous place outside the door of such office." _,_l_ that the President afterwards appointed him minister to* Germany. TNo American minister,' except Bayard Taylor, ever, was thought so much of inBerliu. On His return to New Jersey, Governor Worts, a Democrat, appointed him judge of the court of appeals. His fortune, a large part of which was in railroad stocks, was about$12,000,000. Another prominent man'- had a elo������e call last week. Italy's premier, Signor Crispi, was shot at" in-the streets of Rome while driving to the Chamber of Deputies. The premier jumped out and collared the would-be assassin,'an anarchist named Marat, and handed him over to the police. The mob made an effort to lynch'Marat, but the police, bore'hiui off to prison. DEATHS OF NOTABLE PERSONS. VOTERS ON THE NORTH LIST. RIDING Important Order in Council. By an Order in Council adopted on the 2nd iust. all persons who applied to have their names put ou the voters' list prioi to June 2nd are now bona fide voters and will be placed on the regular L*- 11 P**'1 list for voting at the. forthcoming elec tion, provided they have fulfilled the other conditions satisfaeto'rily. i.e.. the answer to the interrogatories before mentioned. Under the previous Act all names had to be posted for- two months after application before they could be. legally placed on the voter.-1- iist. The Order-in-Council tines away with this (wo month*-.'posting, making k" Death loves a0shining mark," and the old reaper has been busy .among prominent men recently. Among those who have been taken away during the past two weeks we. notice the names of Lord'Coleridge, Chief Justice of England ; Sir Matthew Begbio, Chief Justice of British Columbia; Right Rev. Acton Windeyer Sillitoe, Bishop of New Westminster; Duncan Mclntyre, the well-known railway magnate of Montreal, who was associated with Sir Donald Smith and Sir George Stephcnoin the construction of the C.P.R.; William Walter Phelps,' who won renown as United States Minister to Germany. Lord Coleridge, was the son of John T. Coleridge. He was called to the bar in 1SIC was in Parliament from 1SG5 to 1S73 as a Liberal, beciune Chief Justice of the Court of Common Pleas in 1873, and Chief Justice of England" in 1SS0. He was 73 y^ars of age. Bishop Sillitoe, who was 54 years of age, was appointed first Bishop'of New Westminster in 1879. He graduated at Pembroke' college, Oxford, and was anglican chaplain at Darmstadt, Germany, at the time of his appointment. British Columbia was divided into three diocese in 1870. The island of Vancouver forms the diocese of British Columbia, and the mainland Was, divided between the diocese of New Westminster and Caledonia. Dr., Sillitoe was one of tlie warm supporters of the consolidation of the church, and received the degree of D.C.L. from Trinity College, Toronto, last fall at the first meeting of the general synod. Sir Matthew Bcgbic was one of the best-known men on the Pacific coast. His personal appearance, towering as he did over everyone, his fearlessness on and off the bench, and his autocratic ways combined to attract attention to the Chief Justice. He was an English barrister, and was sent out to Vancouver as a judge when Vancouver Island and the mainland were together the Crown colon j* of British Columbia, and he remained on the field of his duties for about 35 years. Many stories are told of his "fearless conduct when administering justice amongst the tougher portion of the colony when the Eopulation was largely supplemented y miners and others from California. William Walter Phelps was born in New York City August21, 1839. Being the only son," he inherited a fortune. In Congress he took high rank a-s a debater almost at once, and became noted as one of the few men to whom the house would always listen. In 1SS3 President Garfield sent him as United States Minister to Austria, where his familarity with t.he language and customs of the country, his liberal mode of life, and his inten.se Americanism made him a valuable representative. Immediately after the inauguration nf Pre.-ident Harrison he appointed Phelps a member of tlie Berlin eoniinis- t-ioii 'ui settle tbe Samoan fpiestioii. He performed his duties with such ability and obtained such popularity TROUT LAKE EVENTS: " . , [FROJI OUR CORItKSPON'DENT.j'' ,,; TnouT Lake City, June 18. The pack-train is making .regular trip's from the Northeast Arm to Trout Lake, and to-morrow will go up to the Black Prince claim for A. J.'Murphy, of Nelson,* who has taken a bond on tlie claim, and says he will ship out ore this fall. _ He lias six men working on the.mine,'and expects to put on two more next week. He is a hustler, and will make a mine of the Prince. f' Charles Reeves and Joe Pasold of Wallace, Idaho, are down from the North Fork. They are well pleased with the outlook on the U.S. group. They came in to do assessment work on their three claims adjoining the Home ledge. 1 W. H. Harris is says he has a second Silver smiling and Air. now. Cup.' Harris located his claim last fall on the South Fork, and believes it is an extension of the Silver Cup vein. Tom Edwards has completed his ..assessment work on the Snowshoe. He says the mine, comes fully up to his expectations, and that before very long the Trout Lake district 'must .take a front rank position in' the mining ii' . ��������� ������ * world. Mr. Hugh Ross has started a gang of men 'to work on the Gainor Creek trail. They are putting in new bridges where the old ones have disappeared. Pete Walker is foreman. Tom Home is foreman of a gang on the North Fork trail. ' Both gangs are doing excellent.work. Good reports are being brought in as to the placer mines on Lardeau Creek. Several parties have taken out large quantities of gold, especially during the past week. There are 25 men working in the creek now, and the high,water will not scare them out, either. Messrs. John Bourke, C. B. Hume, A- J. Murphy and six others came in oil Tuesday. The wagon road has been commenced at last, and wc are all looking forward to the time*when ore will be passing over it to the shipping point on the Northeast Arm.
