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 horrible accident at Niagara Falls occurred in Queen Victoria park Saturday afternoon. Shortly after -1 p. m. a trolly car on the Niagara Falls Park and River railroad with a trailer was coming down the road, when an elderly lady suddenh' walked out on the track in front of the trolley and was instantly killed. Her head was severed from her body, which was also badly mangled and cut. The ,lady w.is Miss Elizabeth Edgar, of Plainficld, New Jersey, ' " " A delegation of canners called upon Hon. Mr. Laurier'at Ladner's and presented to him tin exhaustive account of the salmon industry in British Columbia, and the disadvantages under which it at present labors. They stilted that the enormous loss of a quarter of a million dollars was sustained by the province through the refusal of the government to extend the fishing .season. The offal question, or the disposal of the refuse of the fish, was also gone into in all its different bearings. A man named Higgins residing in North Arfincouver, wakened up last Saturday morning to find that his throat had been cut during the night. He lived with a man named Sunimer- ville, and both h;id visited Vancouver during the previous day. Neither Higgins nor Summerville can account foi Big Government .Contract. The Dominion Government has awarded the contract for the deepening' of the Lachine Canal by two feet from St. Gabriel locks ,to Lachine, to Mr. F. B. McNamee and Mr. Win. Mann, both of Montreal. "The. Government figured the work to cost $600,00!), but it is more than likely that that figure will be exceeded. Work will be commenced just as soon as the contractors secure the necessary plant for the work. The contract calls for the', work to be completed in three years. , - ." ������. ������������������ ' 'For Penny Postage^ The,London Daily Chronicle published an interview hist week with the Canadian Postmaster-General, Sir A. P. .Caron, and attaches great, importance ��������� to his statement that Canada favors the. Imperial penny postage system. Sir A. P. Caron said : "One thing alone has blocked the way up to the present, and that is the colonial interdict. In this country there is a practical unanimity in favor of it. It is quite a mistake to suppose that Canada would object lo a penny rate from England to the Dominion. On the contrary, we would welcome it. It is part of the onward march of civilization." , The Chronicle thereupon says:, "Here, then, is an opportunity for their first step in the direction of Imperial penny postage, for which all are waiting. Canada puts'no obstacle, in the way. Then, let the beginning be made with her. Let penny postage bo established to the Dominion and to such other colonies as do not object, and 'the day of the penny rate throughout the' whole Empire will not be long delayed. The reform is one which would work its way if,only given a chance to prove its value." The Way 'tis Done in Utah. Enoch Davis, the wife murderer, died at Lehi Junction, Utah, on Sept. 14th, with rifle balls in his breast, lie was placed in,a chair with, a plank at, his back. The penitentiary doctor pinned a blank with a black mark over the heart. Davis was given liquor and strapped down. He protested and said he wanted the sharp-shooters out -in plain sight instead of in the tent as they were, and he said he did not want to die like a "d���������rd Indian." The marshal cried, "Make ready I Take aim! Fire 1" and six shots rang out and Davis moved slightly and gasped faintly. Death was practically instantaneous. Four halls pierced the paper, two were wide and one pierced the black mark.

' A Central'News^lcspiilch from Seoul sayt-: Within ten hours after the conclusion ol' the battle the military.engineers had completed a fit-Id telegraph line from here, to Ping Yting. A large number of prisoners were brought into the Japanese camp from house.-? in which they had hidden themselves during the, final assault. Several thousand Chinese fled toward a valley northward, and upon finding their retreat in, this direct/ton cut off, surrendered in a body. Ping Yang is now being searched, in the belief that a number of important Chinese oflicers1 are in hiding in the city under the protection of friendly Coreans. Tlie'number of Chinese who were killed in,the battle is estimated at 2,800. The walls of Ping Yang are badly'shattered by the cannonade that ..was,poured upon them by"the guns of ������the Japanese," hut the city itself is only slightly injtired.,, , The Shanghai Mercari; published a 'special edition containing despatches frolic the front. The paper dilates upon the consequences of the disastei to the Chinese arms and expresses the well grounded fear of a speedy Japan-' ese invasion. " ' ' " A despatch from Tokio says that four" Chinese gentlemen, together with l-f-,300 other officers and men"were taken prisoners by the' Japanese at Ping 'Yang. rThe Japanese outnumber the Chinese three to one. A despatch from Yokohama to the Times says that large detachments of troops have been sent to reinforce the Japanese army, in Corea. Wtigers tire being made in Tokio that the Japanese will occupy Pekiu or Moukdan by November'3rd. , " " ' A flying column of the "Japanese army is pushing northward with the object 'of taking possession of the mou n tai n ��������� passes. A proclamation has been issued promising full protection to the Core- ans if they will refrain from acts of hostility towards the Japanese. On the other hand they are informed that if they give shelter to or engage in traffic with, the Chinese they will be summarily dealt with by process of martial law. QKALK1) ( O signed.

Tho yield of the TrcadwoII mine, ac- ' cording to the annual report of'Superintendent Duncan, averaged Jp'3.20 per ton, as against .$2.01- foi last year���������a very encouraging showing. Uy close figuring the superintendent was" able to hold the expenses per ton, to $1.33,'' the same as in 1893, in spite of draw- b.icks'of the ore,'which is*said to be ' due lo a, higher trrade of ore taken, frpm the 110 fooi le\el. Tins profit,of $i2:},Si.S, exceeds that of any previous year.. If the company had nor; met with'.loss, by robbery at 1,110 'clilorina- , lion works 'in January of #8,000 a.id ��������� had'ordinary 'weather prevailed, the profit would have been $00,000 to $70,- 000 more. During the year the company paid four regular dividends of $75,-i 000 each, and a bonus dividend of $150,- " 000, making $ 1.10,000 for the year. The * .superintendent estimates that the ore in sight is 2,200,000 tons, and the whole report is full of interest, the proprty being known as the greatest, low grade pioposition in'the world. The report shows that the toUtl receipts were: From bullion sold, $705,918; interest,, $3,000: pi ofits of store, $18,835 ; .mak- , ing ii total of $727,873. The working expenses were $207,92-C leaving a "net profit of $129,910 for the yeai. , " ' Rainy Lake Gold' Fields. A RECORD BREAKER. The Cunarder Lucania, has again added,to her laurels by reducing the time of the eastward passage between New York and Queenstown by over two hours. The singular feature of the trip is the fact that the Lueania's time for both the eastward and westward voyages are identically the same��������� namely 5 days, 8 hours and 3S[minutes, but on the present eastward trip she covered 23 miles more than on the record breaking trip last month. The. Lucania, by hei present performance, firmly establishes her position,as queen of the sea, having crossed the ocean in each direction in less time than any other steamer. She holds the highest average hourly speed recorded, 21.89 knots, and her 500 knots covered in one day is still the record for day's, run. . Advices from Duluth state that the ' gold mill of Little American mine on - Rainy' Lake, has turned out over $100 a , day in free gold,'and more than ' as much in concentrates since the work was resumed after the breakdown three week's ago. Two bricks worth $3,000 were brought to Duluth and deposited in the bank. The Little American people think that they have the largest gold property in the United States, .considering the extent of pay ore, but they are only down 5S feet in ore , and have so far done but a small amount of drifting and chambering. The reports from Rainy Lake region are to the effect Unit all, prospectors and most of the "inhabitants of Rainy Lake City who can get away have gone up the Seine river where Very rich finds have just been made. Several hundred prospectors are going over the region very thoroughly. Three valuable finds have been made, Mosher, Last Chance and 'Hilye'r, and all arc to bo improved and fitted with stamp mills at the earliest dale. At Last Chance, surface rock can be broken with a hammer and gold to tlie value of $25 a day be picked out' by hand. The prediction is freely made that should prospecting bo as successful ;is expected in fall months -there will not be less than twenty-five Stamp mills in the district by next summer, in which case Rainy Lake region is. ; likely to become one of the large gold product' ng districts. the longest Alaskan Survey.

' One of the most notable is the discovery that Mount St lilias, so long regarded its the giant mountain of the continent, is in'Canada and not in United Stales territory. What was almost as interesting was the determination of the height of the mountain. This was found to he 18023 feet. A. M. Burgess, Deputy-Minister of the Interior, expresses the belief that the results of the season's survey will establish the justice of Canada's claim to still more important points in the disputed territory.

THE LIBERAL LEADER GIVEN 'AN ENTHUSIASTIC RECEPTION." ' A great audience, a cordial reception and an attentive hearing greeted )Hon. "Wilfi-id Ltutrier and his friends on Tuesday evening in JJourne's Hall. The audience wits not numbered by thousanrlsj simply because we have not the'-'thuusands here ; but the people turned out in. hundreds and packed one of the largest halls in the Interior to its utmost capacity, while the stairway and landing outside were crowded with those unable to gain admission. It wtis by long odds'the largest meeting ever held in this town. Several of the front, rows of chairs had been tc served for ladies and their escorts, and not a seat was \acant. Nc\ or before in the history of the town have the ladies displayed so much ititore-t in a political or any kind of meeJing tw j their large attendance o\incod last Tuesday night. 01' corns-', it v.or.ld be safe to say thai these were as many Conservatives present, as there vcre .

'Mr. LVyinisit lits a very pleasing pie-euce and predisposes the observer in his favor. His French, origin is plainly discernible and his eloquent gestures, voice and enunciation are without fault.

It was they who wore under an obligati6n to the citizens for the invitation to address a (mectmg here.'and though they had travelled a great distance they felt they were amongst friends who ,were interested in' the weltare of'our common country. British Columbia was long considered one of the most contented provinces in confederation. But since arriving in the province he had heard of numerous grievances, both on the coast and in the interior,' against the Federal Government, fie had never heard of (hose things in parliament. ' The representatives of this'pro- vince were never heard to utter a protest of any kind on the floor of the House. The difficulty regarding the entry upon land hero was new 1,'o him'. It wa^ the duty of a member to have such mutters discussed in parliament. He had been informed that concessions of Land had been made to some and refused to' others on simili.ir terms.

The people of the . lower, town last year complained to the proper .authorities 'with .beneficial results, and since then those who keep pigs have had to confine them to their own premises. Last, Sunday L. A. Fretz, who livesrnot far from the 'TJnion Hotel, was so annoyed by pigs iu his garden that he shot one of them and offered the carcase to'the owners. They refused to .accept it, and set up a claim for $10... Mr. Frefz made enquiries and found he was amenable to the law, and " ... , forthwith paid $23 imo ��������� court. ' The owners have, now reduced their claim' to $30. How the matter will ,end 'can only be conjectured. Meanwhile pork is plentiful in the Fretz mansion. W. F. Crage, who takes some pride in his garden, has been laying low for the destructive raiders who entered through the fence. Taking warning from Fietz's plight he did not load his gun for hog, bin proceeded in a more business-like way to put an end to the nuisance. He dug a hole-about five, feet deep and covered it with brush inside the spot where the mainudcrs entered. One morning this week he found three pigs in the hole. They* belonged to neighbors, who speedily came, released their 'property and promptly settled all damages. Much 'better than shooting. The trap is si.ill in working order.

Sir,���������When a, government, official, acting or otherwise, getsaswelled head or starts in maki'ng.a three-cent autocrat of himself, I believe in calling him down promptly. I stepp'ed into the. Government oiTice last Saturday, asked to see the record books from the gentleman (Mr. Vickers) who was, as I thought, acting in Mr. Graham's place. Turning over to three records, I asked Air. Vickers if, he would give me a copy ���������of them as T wanted to use them; or ���������would T copy them myself. One Thomas Gad man who. was present, says over ni'y shoulder : " six bits." "What for?" I asked. "Why, if you get copies of iho������e records you pay six bits." "There is nothing in the-mining laws calling for such," I replied. He. threw back his slioulders\iind quite dramatically declared, whether they did or not, he'd show me I would have to pay it tiny-" way if J got those copies. Thinking ho was'joking, I remarked: "Why, Tom, I know better than that; you think you know too much altogether.'" Ho replied by sizing me up with contempt in his eyes. Not caring to quarrel, I promptly'left tho office 'and reported him to the Minister of, Mines. Miners in more than one record office in West Kootenay have had' to stand a little too much incivility and offic- iousness from men doing the' clerical work in these offices. This man Cad- man has no right, real or imaginary, to insist on my paying him 73c. I did not ask for an abstract of title; that ' PRESENTATION TO A STATION AGENT. Much to the regret, of the residents at -the Glacier, Mr. J. E. Berube, the popular and re&pected station agent, litis left for his home in the east. On the eve of his departure his many friends and admirers presented him with an address tind a well-filled purse. Tho presentation was made hy Mr. IS. Coombs, who, in an able speech, highly eulogized Mr. Berube for his courtesy and geniality, and spoke of the deep regret felt by every residentof the Glacier at Ins departure. Mr. Berube replied in a few well-chosen words and appeared to be very much affected at the kindliness displayed towards him. It was with difficulty he kept himself from completely breaking down, and the workings of his clear and finely cut countenance betrayed deep emotional feelings. Mr. .1. A. Paqucttc, late station agent at Roger's Pass, is Mr. Be- t ube's successoi, and judging from what is known of that young gentleman, he is thoroughly qttalilied to occupy the responsible position vacated by his popular predecessor, although it niiiy be ti long time befuri' he en'irciy lills (he place occupied by '���������.Joe'' in the hearts of the (darierites.

It is merely the old, old story, so common to the men who sweat under heavy packs in Kootenay. A man with ideas foreign to the country he lives in, and whose ideas of men start and etuLwith the heightand style of his necktie and collar.

P. S.���������Mr. Vickers can verify the above. from Boundary Creek, British Columbia, properties, by E. P. Suycluin, who has been" making a quiet but thorough inspection of the camp. The ores are, with a few exceptions, gold and silver bearing, tind have awakened great interest among the mining men who- have seen them. Although it litis been pretty generally understood that Boundary Creek was a good camp, there has not been sucli unquestionable evidence of it before. Mr. Suydani is well pleased witli tlie camps there, and we understand litis secured control of some of tlie best new discoveries and has gone east to interest capital in tlieir development.���������Northwest Minivy Jievieio.

"J A MINERALOGY CLASS. Dkaii Sir,���������1 have often been struck with astonishment to.think that in a place like this, where a knowledge of ininoralogv, however slight, would be so immense an advantage to any one possessing it, that so few prospectors have tiny real knowledge of it outside of the common minerals which tire found hero, and which they have an opportunity of seeing ��������� wherever, they go. ��������� T should hove thought that long before this a class in- mineralogy' could have been started with beneficial results by some of the assaycrs (I hope they are all assayers) who sometimes seem to have so little to do. At the present time if a prospector finds anything which he is curious but not certain a bout, the almost prohibitive cost of getting it assayed practically prevents him from taking tiny further notice of it. '��������� Personally, I am not in a position financially lo undertake any such work, and oven if I did so, 1 am not sure but what my efforts would Ik; misunderstood. To All Lovers of the Gun.

' T had a man in to see me only this week, and when showing him'some specimens of most valuable ores, commercially speaking, he told me that he would certainly ,have taken noa notice whatever of such things, if he had met with them in the mountains, and mind you he is said to be a first-class prospector. Surely-things ought not to be allowed to go on in this way, when a very little energy on, the part of some ' of , ij our talented towns-people could do so much good.' 1 think that wo should show how far ahead we are of other towns in \ the neighborhood, by setting such an excellent example. T have ti modest collection of. specimens myself or most' of the ores, of commercial importance, including lead, iron, copper, zinc*, manganese, tts well as half a dozen specimens of tin ore, and if any prospector or any other person interested in'the matter would like to examine them, he is at perfect liberty to do so, and I will willingly render all the assistance in my power, a The winter will soon be upon us, when most of the miners will be in town, and a. class of this kind might do much to keep many men from idling round the saloons, and might eventually change the whole' state of the country, merely, through prospectors being able to lecognize valuable ore when they find it. '��������� . I hope this matter will not be allowed to rest, but will be at once taken up by some inlluential person who litis time at his disposal.

Now that, the exigencies of the great empire of the north demand the purification of Siberia, till .sentenced to deportation are carried off into the hellish wilderness without reference to the length of sentence, the nature of the crime or offenses they wore licensed of, without ref- 'erence to sex or former status in society. 'The governor, of Manchuria has ' reported that a human being nut born 01V the island cannot live moie than a year there. There is no' means of es- ' cape except in winter, when if* a prisoner can manage to make his way 100 miles north from the prison it is possible to reach the mainland over the ice. The ice bridge is guarded. Still two or three prisoners have escaped by dodging behind miisses of snow and ice, or, ���������what is far more probable, by - bribing officials. 1' ,���������' " , At the present moment the most in- . teresting colonist of Sakhalin is Sophia Bliihstein. She first achieved criminal renown by pressing her attentions up- ��������� on the shall of Persia during' the lat- . tor's visit to St. Petersburg. Sophia had avowedly had,"no intention of adding his majesty to her list of admirers, buc sought his, acquaintance merely for the purpose, of relieving him, if possl- , ble, of some of his diamonds. She was ���������-foiled in her efforts, but .succeeded in having her private car attached to the shah's special train: For this piece of enterprise she'was banished to Sibei-i.'i- for a year, and while there organized a band of out-Lhruats aniL/ohbers, whose service's she controlled on the continent after their terms expired. She is said to, , be the sharpest criminal living, and in sending her to Sakhalin, the Russian government claims to have conferred a 'lasting benefit upon the wealthy classes.���������St. Louis Hcpablic. "Dredging' for Gold. Tt is pleasing to notice through the last issue of the British Columbia lia'- scette that this Province is *iwakening to the importance of the 1-Yase.r river as ti source of wealth. Within the past, three weeks two new dredging companies have been incorporated with a view to dredging for gold on ^viiat has been aptly termed ^'Nature's gigantic ground sluice." In both eases the. incorporators'are among the must enterprising of our citizens, Alcssrs. McFitrlane and Campion of tiie .British Columbia Iron Works, already success- --faUin their line, being tlie holders of the majority of the shares in the British Columbia Gold Dredging Company, limited, and Messrs. .McLean Bros,., tiie leading (hedging linn of .the Province, being the chief holders in the Provincial Mining and Dredging Company, limited.'' When men ot 'this character take hold of such projects it is a guaranty to ail, and to investors in particular, that they nut only think the gold is there, but they are. satisfied of their ability to take if- out. It is aisn an evidence that the affairs of the company will he'managed intelligently and hon- ostiy. The capitalization of ihe one is SI.500,000 ami of the other 31,000,- 000. Confidence in these two companies is also increased, by rlie tact, that the management is vested in local.people. Both own leases, on what is understood to lie excellent ground, great care having been taken by practical men in making the selection. In New Zealand dredging plants costing as high as 880,000, are paying at six cents per yard, so that there is no reason why properly equipped and intelligently managed plants on the Frasor hIiouUI not give up big returns, especially when it is remembered that the benches* and bars have gone as high as $10 to S75 a clay to the user of the pan, who could only wash from three-quarters of a yard to a yard per day. The dredging plants can handle from 1000 to 2500 yards each 21 hours, so that the possibility of enormous profits is obvious. Such companies, properly are bound to be of incalculable benefit,to the Province.��������� World. inanagi ed, .1 *isP" It ������."'-**������ rv!<**:,s. 0 13 ^������������������;j" ���������?��������� n?
