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 outlook for the Lardeau is more promising now, in regard to production and reduction of ore, than at any previous time. With three stamp mills at work on-gold ores at Camborne, the Silver Cup 20-stamp combination silver mill at Ferguson about to treat silver ores, and the erection, as may be expected, of one or two stamp mills at Poplar Creek during the year, the extensive Lardeau District should possess facilities for demonstrating that its mineral resources are both valuable and capable of being worked at a profit. Then it is to be expected that the Beatrice Company will resume shipping gold- DOMINION REVENUE. Surplus of $20,000,000 and Reduction of National Debt. A/statement ��������� of, revenue and expenditure in the Dominion .for the ten months ending "April shows the revenue to be *> $56,728,716, compared with $52,616,841, for the same i period last year, an increuse of $'1,366,875. The expenditure for the same period was $35,802,813, an increase of $877,- 000, showing u. betterment in the finances of $3,500,000. * , The outlook is that the surplus at end of the1 fiscal'year on ordinary revenue will be iri tlie vicinity of $20,- 000,000, and .that, there will bo a big reduction in the public debt.

A ,.','< The i Manitoba Lumber, company, Limited, lias been incorporated with a capital of $100,000. ' ���������-,',,,. ,. . The E. K.

The' capital��������� is $060,060. , The head .office in this province is Vancouver. , " '',,'" '. - The -logging companies. of Puget sound will decide to curtail considerably , their , production, pin ,-thc ,near future. 'Over 80 per cent, of the shingle, mills of Washington 'state have been closed during the week. ��������� ?A project is formulated for reducing the output' of the lumber mills., " AA , ; In accordance with an agreement reached sometime^sincevbetween, the Mountain Lumber association - and the C. P. R. "new freight schedule's have been issued . on ' lumber v and shingles. ' The rate on lumber from' the territory covered by the Mountain Lumber Manufacturing association is reduced 2 cents per 100 pounds. ' '-As green/, lumber'.weighs, about' 3,000. pounds per 1000 feet the reduction amounts to 60 cents per 1000 feet on green lumber .and less on kiln dried lumber/ In'returirfor the concession lumbermen have agreed ,to sell their product for $1 less per thousand to the'settlers in' the Northwest than they did last year." The reduction to the lumbermen is, therefore, 40 cents per thousand and to the railway com-' puny 60 cents per thousand less than it has been. the Grand Trunk Pacific allotted to the Grand Trunk there shall be three such shares handed over 'to the Dominion.Government, the Government at all times shall have the right to inspect the books of the Grand Trunk \ or Grand Ti link ' Pacific,''ii Government considers the proper apportionment of. the earnings (between the eastern and western sections has' not been -made, then arbitrators may be appointed to determine the matter-. \ ft is well known that Premier Mc- JJridc. promised ,T.'' Taylor, M. L. A. ' for Revelstoke, as.well as'half'a dozen - other members, the 'vacant portfolio in the cabinet. ,'Mr. 'Taylor wants- that pledge fulfilled but Premier.Me- Bridc says he cant give the, portfolio to Mr. Taylor while a ,protest, against his election is hanging ovci hi- head. ��������� The, liberal:- olVor to settle that, by guaranteeing if tho premier will fulfil his pledge to Mr. Taylor and give him the'portfolio, tiioy*. wjh withdraw the nrotest, as there would 110 <>l*on>'er bo , f, ,i . ^ any necessity for it, seeing the beat would I-ere-opened anyhow on a bye-. clection.'

The Beason may be a short one by reason of the snow lying deep on the higher mountains, still there should be time and opportunities for the district to show larg������r results, both as to tonnago of ore produoed and total value, than in an/ previous year." POLITICAL John Houston1, M.������ L. A:, has resigned the Nelson conservative association. The Revelstoke' Liberal' Association have telegraphed Sir Wilfred Laurier strongly urging the appointment of H. Bostock to' the vacancy in the Senate. - Ralph Smith. M.' P. for -Vancouver, and Arthur Puttee, M. P. for Winnipeg, constitute the labor element of the West in parliament. Both voted for the Grand Trunk Pacific bill. Ymir Liberal Association strongly endorses (IT. Bostock for the Senator- ship. At the meetinrr it was felt that no man in British Columbia had done more to advance liberalism than ��������� Mr. Bostock; further that he was a man of great influence and ability. John Houston, M. L. A., is awfully complimentary to the Nelson conservatives, lie describes their, latest effort at organisation as 'a "sore-head skunk conservative association.'' That is nice language for a member of parliament, even if it is true. The World, Rossland's labor, organ says: "If the liberals seriously contemplate calling Hewitt Bostock to the senate, they do wisely. The cx- doniinion member for this district is about the wisest choice that the liberals could make in this province." J. D. Prentice, formerly minister of finance, will probably be the opposition candidate for the Lillooet scat, and if so will snow under any candidate the government can bring forward. This is why tho McBridc government does not fulfil its pledge to open' that seat. It would spell defeat to the government. Mr.' Borden formally notified the Government it was the intention of the Opposition to move amendments to the Transcontinental Railway Bill providing the Grand Trunk and the Grand Trunk Pacific must enter into a covenant to build up an all-Canadian route, that for every single share of Monoply ��������� For 20 years no competing road south of main line to be built; this to prcvcntconipeti- tion by' American roads.

Those who understand th'e position of the Eva mine, and its relation? to the Imperial and Calumet and B. C. companies, will sympathise with the .Camborne shareholders in their'-views as set out by Mr. Wallace. -The Camborne people interested in the property pluckily put their hands iii their pockets at a time when the propei ty was in i an j unenviable position. The Calumet and B. C, have developed it in a way thru did lhem credit, put, up a good stamp mill, tram, and equipment,j and have turned out a gold brick j each, month ,-ince. They have proved the mine to he a legitimate- investment. The Calumet and R. G. put the Eva mine on its legs, and it would bo gro<-.-ly unfair that the .-ha re holder.-! who have done so much for the mini; and di-trirt should lo-e all-ihey have put into thf property. The Imperial company should certainly allow lhem to retain their intere-t on a fair liaf-i.- and we hope to see this result achieved.

I�� only the soil of South Afn a could voice the deeds performed upon it, how ' many Victoria Crosses would have beea found to have been earned by ' Canada's sons I It is hard in the heat of action to notice every act of valor, and therefore only those which take place under the eye of superiors of sufnoierr rank can be noted. ( Tne picure shows o le of such deeds Two troopers are closely pressed by the enemy. The horse of one is hit. Under the withering fire, the maa whose' mount is unharmed nalts, and, risking everything, waits to get his comrade safely, mounted behind him and carry him back to the Canadian lines It is a desperate deed, and one often^performed but seldom noticed. When, however, such an act is seen, the reward dear to soldiers' hearts above every other is the result. This picture is from the brush of Mr. W. B.
