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. It was published by the Revelstoke Printing and Publishing Company, and its longest-serving editor was J. Livingstone Haig. In 1906, The Kootenay 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.

Monday evening about five o'cloo started on foot, reaching the <?-mile"" |j>ver there, post at 7*30|<where I intended to loej\te/ ~"��� " ' L for the nigh'6 at the "hale," or cottage,' of a Kanaka, who received me very.' cordially, and" spread before nie a" goodly supply of poi (raw fish), eggs and biscuits. The former,I declined and dined, off, the eggs and biscuits, after which" he introduced, me to his wife and sisters, who, during the evening, sang some veiy .sweet1 Hawaiian airs. In the morning, after partaking -of a hasty breakfast, I was off<��� on my way, having a 14 mile tramp before me over an ancient lava flow, the scenery and surroundings of which is tame and uninteresting���not a sign of life of any description, and', no, shelter from the tropical showers that frequently overtook me and drenched me to the skin. But at last, after a seven houra dreary' tramp, I saw the hale of a'Kanaka, who informed me that the plantation I was in quest of ^!ay a mile orso off on my right, and after losing the trail more than once, I at last stood on the verandah of my friend's house, hungry and footsore, vowing that had' I known1 what I" did then Puna would never have seen me. But they welcomed me and made me very comfortable,'so that I soon forgot my hard journey. .' During my'stay we visited a cave in the vicinity of the plantation formed of a blister, or air bubble, in the lava. The place being subject to, earthquake, the lava in places had caved in, thus forming an entrance.' Into one of these we descended with lamps, and as soon as our eyes became accustomed-to the darkness tlie view .that met, our gaze was grand toa degree. A long subterranean , passage extended for, miles, from SfO to 40 feet broad, and in place's 10 .feet'high, the'roof hanging'with lichens and mosses in endless variety, while around the sides were galleries formed by thejava, and in other places beautifully shaped arches.. But a nasty, damp, cold atmosphere seemed to prevail, making one long'to be'jn the sunshine again. As one of us was climbing, over a high fallen boulder ,we discovered a skull in a good state of preservation, and on further investigation w^e came, across some dozens of skeletons, the cave being a Hawaiian burying place. The ancient inhabitants always 'secreted their dead in caves, and from the appearance of a good many they'must have been there for a great number of years. Most of them were arranged round/the galleries I have mentioned; others seemed to have, been shaken 'from their resting place by earth shocks, a,s we discovered, bones broken and huge boulders of1 lava on'top' of them. In most cases the' skeletons measured over six feet long, thus proving that the ancient Hawaiians'were a very fine race. On making a closer examination of the skulls hardly a single tooth could we find in anyway decayed; of course, many were missing, but all that we discovered were as sound as a tooth could be. ���> After explorations lasting over two hours and discovering a vast quantity of human bones, we emerged into the glorious sunshine once more, leaving behind us the awe-inspiring influence which ancient bones and mouldy tombs always exercise over the living. If those bones could speak, what a history might here be .unfolded! But,' like the,sphinx, they hold their secrets in close-lipped silence, allowing' the nineteenth* .century visitor full scope for the exercise of his imagination. When these bones walked the earth the Hawaiians were most likety ferocious cannibals, and this cave may have been one of their feasting places. , Many a time during my stay did I pass over the cave, 'but did not care to penetrate any farther into its depths. Everywhere the sacred ohelo berry grows ; a few ferns and* tall scraggy trees complete the landscape for miles and miles, and uotbing else seems to flourish. After a stay of ten days I was pleased to bid adfeu to my friends and returned to Hilo, wilh its plea tun b surroundings, but after all J am not sorry I went to Puna. Pe.vgjiadon. i ' Letters have just been received from onerof the largest banking houses in Holland by a gentleman in New York, in which the bankers state that they are prepared to negotiate for first-class railroad securities, manufacturing establishments or gold mines fin America. The gentleman who received these letters has just returned from ^Europe, and gives a reason for this re- tl^urn of confidence in monetary circles He says: Money is abundant abroad, and there has been a remarkable gain in confidence because of the fact, while well-known there, does not seem to be known here. J*t is that after the present Czar of Russia took the oath of office he made a personal pledge to the Rothschilds that there should be no war in Europe for at least two years. The Rothschilds have a similar pledge from-the other rulers, and are confidently investing their money as, a 'result of it.' Sooner or, later this money will turn 'into Amercian investments. My. own experience does not confirm-the stated ment that Europe is afraid of our currency system. Down from Golden Cariboo. ; ' * J. Hepburn arrived at Vancouver from Cariboo last Thursday and has gone east.' During the past six weeks he took out a few hundred dollars from Keithley point and adjoining ground with a rocker, the'surface gravel being washed away by the high water of last summer. Mr. Hepburn had with him $208 worth of nuggets varying in value from $1 to $20 each. He was also arranging to put in a bridge across the North Fork for the Victoria Consolidated Mining ' Co., in which Messrs, Mann, Holt, McKenzie and other ea!st^ ern capitalists are interested. They will develop their claims on arl extensive scale next summer.��� World. ; ���. Odds and Ends from the Legislative ���.. Assembly, THE MINING BUREAU. .. Last week, while the Mining Bureau Bill was being discussed in committee, Mr. Cotton said he strongly opposed the proposal to expend a large sum of money for a building for the bureau in Victoria. If they really desired to aid the mining industry by such an institution they should secure a really able superintendent to collect information and furnish' reliable and practical reports. For the use of miners and prospectors Victoria was about the worst location that could he found. ��� He ridiculed the idea of the,Minister of Mines that prospectors would flock to Victoria to hear the lectures and that this would provide quite a source of revenue. , Messrs. Williams, McPherson, Davie, Eberts and Bryden followed By striking out the sentence authorizing, the Government to acquire land in Victoria' for a site, it being held that they had ample already. ....... '��� Winnipeg Merchants After Kootenay's , Trade., , - ��� . , In pleasing contrast to the apathy displayed by the Coast cities in regard to the growing trade of Kootenay, we notice tlie activity being displayed' by some Winnipeg tufrchanfcs to obtain a share of the trade of this district, as well as that of Cariboo���our old standby gold producer. Winnipeg houses have been gradually extending their- business operations in British'.Columbia until they now reach into nearly every section in the interior. West Kootenay's trade is a growing one and must eventually overshadow the trade of every other district in the province. This trade is surely worth striving after, but the merchants of our own coast cities do not appear to think so. o Visit of General Booth. Gen. Booth, of the Salvation Army, who has reached the Pacific coast by way of the State?, is expected to ar- rive in Victoria'next Monday. The City Council will present him with au address of welcome. The Salvation Army'propose having' two meetings' in connection with the visit. The afternoon' meeting will be devoted to hearing the general's account of the army's progress' throughout the world, and probably some speeches from several well-known citizens. This reception is in great contrast to the treatment accorded the army during the first few years of its existence, when its members wore jeered and laughed at on the streets as crazy people. '�� . - Going to Retaliate. The American fish companies at Victoria are somewhat agitated, as it is currently rumored that the deep sea regulations are to be so changed that hritie'but British subjects can-embark in the,fishing business in- British Columbia. OPPOSITION CONSTITUENCIES NOT IN. IT. When the House went into Committee of Supply last' Friday, Mr. Hume objected to the vote' of $8,000 for the South Riding of West Kootenay. It was like throwing the money away as, it would not do anything towards the works needed. He asked^the'Govero- ment if they intended to' carry out the promises made '' by the ' Attorney- General. ' Hon. Mr. Turner did not know of any promises. , , '.,,,"��� ' Mr. McPherson repeated what he said the other day���the districts represented by Opposition members were not fairly treated.' , ��� Mr. Kellie contended that South West Kootenay had been well-treated in the matter of . the Nakusp & Slocan Railway and other public works. Mr. McPherson pointed out that when Mr. Kellie was' first elected he was opposed to the Government, aud bis district was not fairly, treated^until he became a Government supporter. ' ' Mr. Graham said roads and bridges had been promised in'all parts of his district and some had been started, but work was- stopped immediately after the election of an Opposition member. ' THE BOVINE AND THE " NEDDY." ' Mr. Kitchen said he had been unable to see any, results from the $16,000 mentioned in the supplementary estimates as having been expended 'in the New Westminster district since tho floods. He would like to know where the $16,000 had been wasted. There were many culverts that had not been replaced and many of the roads were covered with debris left by the floods. He refused to, take' his seat until the Government told him how the $16,000 was expended. ' A peculiar sound was heard from0the end of the Government lieuches, which led Mr..Kitchen to remark that he did not know there was a cow in the House. Dr. Walkem : I did not know there was a jackass in the House. After,Dr. Walkem had gone outside, to " see a man," probably, the Government promised to give a list of the work done with the $10,000, and Mr. , Kitchen allowed the item to pass. Has Not Struck Kamloops Yet. The general depression has not had an opportunity of making itself felt in Kamloops yet, thanks to the C P. R. repair work and the wages paid out by the Government for building the Provincial Home, which sources of creating a circulation of the "needful'.' have up till now kept "hard times" at bay. ��� But those works having now been completed there is ample time for the invader to put in an appearance, and in such case adversity will Ins more keenly felt, fol- ' lowing so closely on prosperity. Tlieu Kamloops will have to fall into line in the procession and "Haw wood" with the rest of us. The local correspondent of the Colonist writes: "Despite the hard times elsewhere, this year - has been the most prosperous in the history of Kamloops since tlie railway construction was completed, partially dua to the extra force of workmen employed - in repairing the damage by floods to the C. P. R., whose supplies were taken from here,, and to the building of the Provincial Home, which put a considerable amount'of money in circulation. That institution has been examined by the arch i beet an d accepted as pro cMen 11 y finished. It is a beautiful structure, on a commanding site, and a credit to the city and the province." Scatter the' Glad Tidings. \ ., That, one, needs .to. go away from .home to get home news is often exemplified, and the following glowing account from the pen of the Victoria correspondent of a,Winnipeg journal is a casein point:' , ' ��� , .-.'��' , "Most satisfactory accounts are coming from the miuing country, as high ' as fifty and a hundred claims a day aro recorded ab Kaslo. ��� Tho output of ore at Three Forks will be greater than the Nakusp & Slocan road will be able to carry. 'On tlie Lardeau 25 rich companies are operating, and prospects for a splendid output from that region were never better. Single miners have been taking out as high as $50 a day in the vicinity."�� i- " ' . . ��� the Mr. Louis Redon, of the Driard Hotel, .Victoria, B.C., died almost suddenly, on Monday.

Hon., Mr. Martin :> The San Francisco Bridge Company. ' Mr. Williams thought there' were local companies that could do the work. He had seen several bridges built by that company, and they did nob amount to much. > Mr. Rogers said the San ' Francisco company had always given satisfaction and had done the work at a fair price. Mr. Kellie said the Government should try and give the work to local men. He read a letter in which it was stated that while tho San Francisco company were building the Ashcroft bridge a British Columbia company were being prevented from building a bridge at Spokane for which they had received the contract. Hon. Mr. Martahi said the tender of the San Francisco Bridge Company was $3,000 lower than the lowest of the other tenders. The.next lowest tender was also an American company, the lowest local tenderer being $5,000 higher than the highest American company. Fauvel Process of Treating Gold Ores. " A. new method for separating gold from its ores .lias, recently,been introduced in the mining districts of Wyoming. 'The crushed ore is heated to a sbate of. incandescence aud* quenched in a bath of ?cold water. As 'each red- hot parbiclefalls into the water, enough steam is iustantly generated to shatter it, and'any glaze or film is therefore ruptured. The particles of gold are ' thus broken down-to a remarkably fine sbate and are rendered .very brittle. The gold is clean and shining0 and quite tree from,any coafctng"of "oxide. This method makes it, unnecessary to crush bhe ore very finely, and in addition the output of the mine is gp fatly increased. ' ������ ..�� ���The Golumbia Desk Calendar. .

IS'jI. - MAY MAKE A MISTAKE. To most people in Ttevel'��toko Mr. Gamble's action in waiting for "balnn spring "'before commeuciiig operation on the river bank seems -very foolisb. The time between the disappearance of , the snow and tlie annual rise of t he river is too short to permit of,, any extensive operations, such as should be the caso Here, being carried ' out. Spring is proverbially fickle, and this holds just as good here as in any othei part of tho world. It may he a I.no ' spring, and tho snow may remain until the hot weather sets in, in which ci->e the melting of the snow on (ho mountains would occur simultaneously with that on the level, and the ' ri&e of the water would be overwhelmingly sadden, and tho wort would have, to be put off t till next fall. " Spring may sot iu early, and the river would become BiifficieuLly high to pre\ent any work being done on the beach, which is now high and dry. Besides, it will be impossible to haul the necessary rock .mci, timber when the snow Is softening uu- tfor the genial influence of the spring fiUAshiue. Mr. Gamble may ,have pratts for bringing tlie inatci ial from a long- distance by i ail way. ' It. so, a -lo'nsiderablo portion of tho appropriation v.'ill be swallowed up by freight rates, while the best, of material may be obtained close at hand. Never was there a more favorable time for bringing in both rock and timber than now. The siiov is firm and only a few inches (leap. A1 good road could be made to . the quarry at a trifling cost, and there �� &ra plenty of teams in the town to do * tha hauling. Tf the woik lias to be v postponed until next fall Mr. Gamble- will have to thank himself for it, if, as vro understand, he has boon "given full powei' ia the matter. We who live 1 hero do not leave our hauling until the sprieg, and everyone knows that if'he c rut>,a shdrb of firewood about the time fehe spring thaw commences he will okays*to borrow fropt his neighbor until tha cnov if; all gone, as none can be brought in.

' '. , Marine signaling is at least 25 centuries old. Among the Greeks aud Romans the polished surfaces of the shields were used us mirrors to reflect the sunlight from one toireiue to another. Afl they U8ed no 'firearms there was no smoke to interfere, and the flashes of sunlight could be easily read. In this day it could not be done, for whole squadrons of warships are sometimes euvelope'cl in smoke. , However, sinoke- Iobs powder may in a few years so alter conditions as to make some ' similar system possible in battle. *�� The uae of firearms introduced a new mode of signaling only as regards signals of .distress, and as a maimer of saluting other nations. In actual buttle the cannon'are useless as signals, because each faction is firing iudiscriiuin- "jlMy, and Jhe', number of gnus to be fired as signals.lose their identity. Any foreign vessel of, war entering a liarbur of another country with which it is at peace hoists the flag of that country at ��� the fore truck and fires a salute of 21 guns, which salute is returned with tho same number of guas. A vessel in distress, if in daytime,'fires a gun continuously until borne answer is hail from shore or borne other vessel, if there is one in hearing distance. 1. ' The semaphore has boon very successful for short distances. This is an oblong ball, 'about 2 feet in diameter, which in manipulated on a flagstaff or hoisted by a line. It is used almost exclusively on vessels acting 111 squadrons. If the flagship wishes to pass an , order the ballb are raised to certain elevations ou the staff, which carry certain mean-, lugs. Suppose the order is "up anchor," hoist ono ball at liiilf mast, and lot it remain until all tho ��� other vessels ans-, wer "all right," or, perhaps. 0110 bail at, the masthead aud one half-mast' might moan "up anchor, '\ and so on three, four or five balls could bo manipulated , in certain combinations to moan any general order in tho tactics of field maneuvering. 'For short distances the semaphore is very successful and is also used among merchant vessels, aa well as men of-war. The principal signal for short distances is the'"wig-wag," which is used, not for general maneuver, as the semaphore, but for any and all messages that have to be explained iu detail. The "wig" wag" is made by a person standing erect with a small flag in each hand, which he waves in certain combination for certain letters. For instance, if both arms were held erect over the head aud brought down in a circular motion to the side, each flag would describe a semicircle aud a letter "o" would bo described. ' . r ' Hold the left flag out horizontally from the body aud describe a somicirclo with the right flag., then the right fhig out and circle with the ' left, and so on, combining motions until every letter in the alphabet is"represented by a motion. In till tlie navies of the world the small boys taken its apprentices are trained aa signal hoys, not only for the "wig-wag," but all other modes. Tho flag system is the most universal and satisfactory of all codes, both nationally and internationally. Tho difference between the "wig-wag" and the flag system is the "wig-wag" represents the letters themselves, but tho "large flags represent not only words, but seutences. These are recorded in a Ixwk which evory vessel has, and by referring to the number in the book that the flags repre.-ent. the message is interpreted. When large flags are used they are hoisted to tho masthead by an ordinary halyard, to which the flags are fastened with the units flag of the desired number at the bottom, tens next, arid so on. Long triangular shaped'"flags (pennants, properly cilled), of different colors and combinations of colors make tho numbers. This is easy, as only nine digits sre twed (the zero bf-iug excluded), and one nag over another can give any number wanted. Each nation hiw. its own combination of numbers, so th.it they c*n signal among themselves, while others can s'-e and not understand. Then there i>i an international code by which any two nations may communicate, inasmuch as figures are the same in nil nations, and thongn thoy might not tmder.-iUii'l one word in common, they can interpret the flag numbers. Every voai"l that floats, wiiether merchantman or man of war. has a number, which ib ri'U/rdi'd in tbo it.t.'riiatinnal Iwt of vi.",h"1s. which gives the name of tho owner, master, or port or country, to w. ich it WI'.ngH.

" Shoe* Uj- Aiiiarlcniia. The diminished use of boots is a matter of concern to the manufacturers of them and to tho, producers' of. heavy leathor and heavy calf' skins, says the Shoo1 and Leather Reporter. Twenty yours ago tho calf boot industry was a loading 0110 in New England. Whole' towns wore studded witii factories which produced calf boots exclusively. For a decade the sale has been gradually' falling off. and to-day it is'of hardly any iuumrvatico. A few manufacturers of shoo- include boots as a specialty, but the dom.-iud is too light to amount to much. W lion calf boota were more iu vogue manufacturers consulted the partialities of tho cowboys, to whom price was a secondary "'consideration; Too legs were frequently corded with silk .aiitchin,'. The star and croscont and other fanciful ornamentations wore inlaid oi! tho legs of the boots; there wore high heels" and the boots were striding upcoimens of mechanical art Thu soles were inlaid with copper, zinc and hr:t>8 nails- . The cowboys no longer pay jSlo or S-JO for a pair of boots. They want substance instead of show. But they were not the only wearers of calf boots. Thoy were oxtousively worn. Many mon prefer them to day. though the number is growing less. The old- fashioned stoua hoots wero formerly 6old in largo quantities;" they are' well- niirh obsob'to.

James' ro.dy is herewith printed:' Ontario is a largo province. From the mouth of tiie Albany river on James Bit to Peloe Island in ' Lake Erie tho distance is about 7.10 miles, while from' the eastern limit on tho St. Lawrence to, tho western on the Lake of the Woods w about 1,000 miles. Its total. area is 2-iO.OOO Kf'mare miles: larger than the niuo North Atlantic States, by one- third; larger than Maine. New Hainp- bhire, Vermont. Now York. Pennsylvania and Ohio combined. But a small portion ia as yet settled ; in fact, eighty per cent of tho entire- province, is yet j'l' the possession of tho Provincial Crown Lands Department: and while too larger portion unsold is valuable principally tor its timber and.minerals., there are several millions of acres of the finest agricultural hind as yet unoccupied. One h-cclion lies along the Rainy river, adjacent to Minnesota. I y other, the Valley of Lake Temibcaininguo, ia ,t> tho north of Ottawa. These two districts are in tho - same latitude na Northern Minnesota. ' Tho former district is covered with deep, black, alluvial soil, and the latter with rich clay overlaid with humus. J ' The old S'-ttled portion of Ontario lies in the triang'.o bounded on ono side by the Ottawa and Lake Nipissimr. on tho M'cond by the St. Lawrence Lake Ontario and" Lake Erie, nnd on tbo (bird by Lake St. .Clair. Lake Huron and Georgian Bay. It ia worth while opening a map lo "look at, tho configuration. With the exception of a shotc pottage between L-ike Nip ssing and Trout, Lake on'tho north, it is practically an iaiand;' ,,washed by .tho waters of two largo, . rivers and three great lakes. In addi- tio'n'nolo its shape, like a wed go pushed down into 'ho heart of tho groat agricultural States, and you will begin to realize .1111 its position and surroundings apparently fit it for a gro.-it agri- ' cultural' land. Ita back bono is the western branch of the Areluean 'rocks, tho material out of which rich clay is made. ' Tho alluvial deposits are most noticeable in tho extreme southwest, where tho soil rivals that of tho richest prairio. While the northern point of. Ontario is an ocean port on Jau.es Cay, t'.le southern point is further tfouth than r.OhUm and , O liostgo.

Polled Angus, Herofords, Devona, Jerseys. Guernseys, Holsteins and Ayr- shires. The statement that Canada ia ud-ipted for sheop only fo a limited extent requites modification. Expert breeders Iro.u Britain have pronounced t Ont-rio as tho ideal homo of tho couib- ' ing wool sheep. In nine classes, not' incltidimr Merinos, Ontario alone took at Ciiic.igo 211 awards, against 192 for the whole of, the United States.

In ldU3 there were 7,114,430 fowls of all kinds on , Ontario farms, and tho products were valued at $3,000,000. , Ontario exhibited at Chicago, and took 487 nwnr.ls against 098 taken by 'tho United St.-it.'s:', A large portion of the exhibit - was purchased to go abroad. ,, r"W.i.it can bo meant by tho statement as to tho "general,inability, of Canadians to barter products" in view of the fact that Canadian apples, cheese, bacon and . hams) peivs' and other articles, bring tho top prices in the JJritish.markets? " , . ' ��� ^ , In Ontario there are 175,000 farmers < whoso farms average 130 acres, having a" total value for laud, buildings, .stock and implements of ��970,000,000. In addition there are 110,000 occupiers of lota under ten acres in extent. A country that can ripon the peach nnd the grape, produce choose that; in ita class, brings tho highest price in Europe, develop cattle 'and aheep unsurpassed, on the , continent,, must surely have'fine agri- , cultural possibilities.

When a little boy Sheridan Le Fann wrote the following casay on the life of man: '���A man's life naturally divides itself into three parts���tho first, when ho is planning and contriving all kinds of villainy and rascality; that is tho period of youth and innocence. In the second ho is found putting in practice all tho villainy and rascality he has contrived; that ia tho flower of manhood and prime of life.
