The Miner was published by The Miner Printing and Publishing Company, and the paper's longest-serving editor was D. J. Beaton.

NELSON, BRITISH COLUMBIA, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1892. $4 A YEAR RAILWAY DEVELOPMENT OF WEST KOOTENAY. We have shown with, we imagine, some appearance of reasonableness, that this country of West Kootenay must become a collection of scattered mining camps dependent upon the United States for an ore market and for supplies, having no interests in common, and but slender connection, with the rest of Canada, unless the country is centralized at some particular point and some attempt made to develop it within itself. Our next point was that the place marked out for such a centre, is Nelson, and if not Nelson then nowhere. This latter alternative is quite possible and so far as the action, or want of it, of the C P. R. at present is concerned, even probable. The Boards of Trade of Victoria and Vancouver have been awakened to this fact. They lament the danger of the United States stealing, as they call it, the trade of West Kootenay. Stealing is a curious word. It was written long before boards of trade came into existence that whatever a man sows that shall he also reap. And if our neighbors on the Coast have sown indifference they cannot be surprised if, when the harvest comes, they reap neglect. And even now when their interest is aroused, they go the wrong way about to iind a remedy. They wish to keep the camps of West Kootenay separated, without local centre, or distributing, ovr smelting point. The whole gist of this series of articles has been that if they succeed in doing this, as they easily may, they cannot for oue moment compete against the States for the trade of this country. In West Kootenay we must have a centre, a terminus\" and a distributing point. That point is Nelson. There is no getting round it or over it. No other poini is there where the ways in and out of the whole known mining region of West Kootenay converge, except Nelson. It is as it has always been in West Kootenay, Nelson or nowhere. In this there is no discordance with the future or prospects of Kaslo. Any jealousy between the two towns is preposterous, as their interests are identical. Granted that Kaslo is the camp which will produce the greatest quantity of ore, Kaslo cannot become the distributing point for ; Slocan Lake, for Ainsworth, for Pilot Bay, for Goat River, for Toad Mountain; Nelson can for all these places, and for Kaslo itself, as well, The prospects of the Slocan and the Lardeaux as they become richer, enhance in the same proportion the prospects before Nelson; The end of the whole business is that in any railway development about to take place in West Kootenay, Nelson's central position.should not be lost sight of. It should be viewed as the terminus at which various lines will converge and from which they will again diverge. Every inducement should be ottered to wholesale men and smelting men to centre here. It should be remembered that the making or marring of Nelson means the making or ��������� marring of West Kootenay as an integral part of Canada. WORK FOK THE WINTER. George Alexander, general manager of the Alberta and B. C. Exploration Company, was in town on Tuesday, on business connected with the tenders which have been called for to build a hull, 70 feet long by 24 feet wide, to carry a dredger for use on the Kootenay; to construct a scow 50 x 16 feet, and to cut and deliver some 1000 cords of wood. All these jobs have to be finished before the 1st of ..March. We are sorry that it was not better known in Nelson that, it was Mr. Alexander's intention to call for these tenders, as, no doubt, many men here would have been glad to bid for the work. The advertisement which would have called for tenders, owing to the delays in the mail service, only came to hand late this week���������after the date on which tenders could be received. Mr. Alexander was much disappointed that the ad vertisement had not been published, and has left town to find out, we believe, if it be not possible to extend the time, in order that local contractors may .have a chance to compete for the work. Since writing the paragraph above, we have learned from Gr A. Keefer that the fcontract for getting out the timber, to be used in building the hull and scow for the Kootenay reclamation works, has been let to a firm in Bonner's Ferry. If the contractor is able to deliver this timber before the river freezes, the work to be done will be completed before the 1st of May. In any case, the company intend to have their floating dredger at work just as soon as fate and the river will permit them to do so. Mr. Keefer has been to the scene of action to pay off the men and to inspect the work already done. Work will be resumed on the 1st of March. We understand that the contracts for the building of the hull and scow have been let. This is a striking example of the evil that a delayed mail can do. There are many men in the district, who would have been glad to have tendered for this work, and to these the arguments urged in this week's editorial will be brought home with considerable force. MORE CAPITAL INTERESTED. Every day brings fresh proof that WTest Kootenay is to be pre-eminently the mining district of the world during the next year or two. On every side we see signs that people far and near are beginning to awaken to the fact that there is money to be made in the country, and that the sooner they get to work the sooner will they begin to realize their profit. The Kootenay Prospecting and Supply Company, of Minneapolis���������in a former issue we have drawn attention to its existence and intentions���������have published a prospectus asking for subscriptions to their stock, which amounts to $5OO,.Q0O, divided into shares of $25 each, and announcing their intention of sending out prospectors as early as possible, next spring. The prospectus contains the following paragraph, probably inspired by Mr. Middaugh who, it will be remembered; made so many purchases and locations in the Slocan a couple of months ago: \"As said by a mining expert who has been in in that country during t he past season and just returned, 'the advantage of the mines in that District (Kootenay) is that they will pay from the grass down. It is the poor man's camp'.\" It with pleasure that we note that another English company is likely to become interested in: our mines during the coming year. The Kootenay Syndicate, of Birmingham, has, up.to the present time, given its attention chiefly to East.Kootenay, out has now become convinced that it would be flying in the face of Providence to refuse to see the many openings which we can offer for the judicious investment of capital. Horace J. Cannan, who recently made a tour of this district, has gone to England for the express purpose of laying before this company, information which ceil hardly fail to have the desired effect. LARDO. On Wednesday afternoon a party set out from Kaslo to the new town of Lardo. The party consisted of two townsite owners, one surveyor, one real estate boomer and a representative of the press; this is the usual ratio of townsite owners to the other professions in this country. The steamer Kaslo, with attendant scow, was chartered for the occasion, and in its commodious stoke hole the party defied the inclemency of the weather. It was, unfortunately, dark when the townsite was reached, and its advantages could not be very minutely inspected. But enough was visible to show that it is very prettily situated at the head of navigation on Kootenay Lake, and is the terminus of the trail into the rapidly becoming famous Lardo country. In additiou, some minert?l has been found in Davies Creekjjwhich intersects the townsite. An excursion and sale of lots will take place to-morrow. KASLO NOTES. Judge Wilson, the foreman of the works at Lardo, is pushing things with a large force of men. The grading of the.road to connect with the Government trail, is well advanced and the streets are being rapidly cleared. A very pleasant party made a trip to Lardo on Sunday on the steamer Kaslo, viz., Fraiik Fletcher, C. P. R. Commissioner, A. H. Buchanan, Manager of the Bank of Montreal, and F.M. McLeod, all of Nelson; Sam. Green, T. J. Lehdrum and others. Another excursion went out by the Ains- worth to inspect the townsite of Dawson. Next Sunday we are again promised another excursion on the Ainsworth to Lardo, the lots of which will be on the market on Monday next; I hear that the first 200 lots will probably be sold by auction, as. there are so many applications for them. Messrs. Harold Selous and Farweli paid us a flying visit on Tuesday, leaving by the Nelson on Wednesday morning en route to the Coast. We have had quite an influx of Nelson visitors this week, in addition to those above mentioned: John Elliott, Jim. McDonald, A. E. Hodgins, H. G. Ashby, and C. E. Perry, have been observed. .Messrs. Ashby and Perry were engaged in selling lots in Dawson and Duncan. I hear that the owners of the townsite of Duncan, Messrs. Simpson and Keeley, are the proud possessors of a cat which is well known in that district. It follows them like a dog, and when they are out shooting and a bird falls to the gun, the cat is upon it in the twinkling of an eye. So far, unfortunately, it has refused to retrieve, and considers that its mission is to devour the game. In addition to these qualifications, it is a splendid traveller and will even take to the water if necessary. I understand that, in spite of these traits, the cat is essentially feminine, which shows how lirtle there is in the arguinenti of those who oppose the full enfranchisement of women on the ground that it will unsex them. Building is still proceeding* here with vigor, but things are quieter now than they were a month or two ago, as is natural during the depth of winter. Messrs. Tom. E. Jefferson and Howson. have bonded the Lardo-Duncan group of claims owned by Messrs. Wagner, Kennedy and othors for $30,000. These claims are on the divide between the Duncan and Lardo, and the ore assays from 115 ozs. to to 319 ozs in silver, and also carries \"from $10 to $30 in gold. G. W. Hughes is constructing a large wharf at Kaslo for the shipment of ore. SLOCAN LAKE TO THE FRONT. Contractor Mann has completed the sleigh road from the head of Slocan Lake to Nakusp. He claims it is the best road in the country and says he can haul 3,000 lbs. with twohorsesover it. He is under contract to haul out 600 tons of ore this winter from the Vancouver, the Mountain Boomer and the Alpha claims, all in Four Mile Creek section. On the Mountain Boomer, the Mahons have the highest grade claim in the country, the ore discovered going 3,000 ozs. to the ton. Mr. Mann says that he would be glad to get a contract to take ore out from the Freddie Lee to Nakusp for $25 a ton, which, he says, would compare very favorably with the price now paid to ship it to Kaslo. Mr. Mann is of opinion that a railway up Slocan River would command all the ore traffic from Slocan Lake. He has gone to Spokane to bring in stock, which he expects the C. & K. Steam Navigation Company to ship for him to Nakusp.

The illness of Sir John Abbott placed upon his shoulders nearly all the burden of the Premiership, and it is only fair that he should now enjoy the credit that attaches to the successful performance of its duties and that he should wear the honors as well as bear the responsibilities of the position, CHARTER ASKEW FOR. posed line from Lardeau City in a northerly direction along the course of the Incoinappleux River or Fish Greek to some point or points on the main line or branch lines to any adjacent mine or mines, and with power to build docks and wharves, and erect and maintain telegraph and telephone lines and all necessary works, buildings, pipes, poles, wires, appliances or conveniences necessary or proper for the generating and transmitting of electricity or power within the area above described.

Everyone is kicking at the manner in which the psot office authorities run their business in West Kootenay. And everyone is right in so doing. Was there ever a district in the British possessions in which there existed more post- offices which are never troubled by having a mail to sort, or more mails, for people resident in the country, that have no place in whichto be sorted, than in West Kootenay ? There is no more incompetent postoffice official in the universe, and this is saying a good deal, than he who now holds the post of Inspector. If he is not incompetent, he is negligent, which is worse. It is a scandal that any district, with our population, should be treated as we are in this respect. When one thinks of the matters of vast importance which must be subjects for correspondence concerning this district, matters, too, of business, the success of which might be made or marred by a day or two less or more being taken in the transit of the mail, one is almost surprised that the post office does not realize that it is neglecting its duty; and one is altogether surprised that the people themselves are so apathetic. ________ For example, take the case of the east-bound mail. Posted in Nelson, it travels, by way of Little Dalles, to the coast, thence to be shipped eastwards. Nearly a week would be saved if this mail were shipped to Spokane, and there sorted and distributed. Of course no arrangement exists between the Dominion and the States which will allow this to be put into practice, and by the time that Nelson had petitioned the Government to enter into negotiations with America, with a view to bringing this method into effect, and America had duly considered the matter, and either consented to or refused the Dominion Government's request, it would be spring or early summer, and in the rush of business we should have forgotten, until the ensuing winter, that we ever felt hot at not getting our letters for, sometimes, three weeks or so. Another glaring instance of the lack of enterprise and business principle which is the leading characteristic of our postal department, is the manner in which mail for the American coast towns is treated. Instead of being sorted on the cars and sent down to its destination by way of Mission Junction, it is carried to Vancouver, thus losing two days, at least, in transit. / This does not now concern us so much as in the summer, but still, it is just as well to mention the matter in order that, if the postoffice people are ever struck with a sudden (and entirely unexpected) desire to reform their evil ways, they may have some idea in which direction to work. The agitation felt at the Coast as to the route by which freight shall travel to and from West Kootenay, is beginning to bear fruit in the shape of applications for leave to build railroads. From an advertisement, in another column, it will be seen that the C. .'���������& K. Railway is apply;- ing for a charter to build from its present line in the direction of Revelstoke, asking also for leave to build branch lines, not exceeding 30 miles in length, from points on this connecting line. Let them have the charter by all means, but we would ask the Government to consider whether it might not be well to reserve a small part of the Pro vince for its own use, and to keep lit tie patches of country, here and there, under its own con t rol. We observe that another chart er is asked for of a most comprehensive nature, embracing, as it does, a number of privileges sufficient to run anything from a railway to a sawmill or an electric light system. The Church of England mission room has, since its erection, been almost exclusivelv used as a church. Now, if we are rightly informed, a sum of money was placed at the disposal of the Bishop, in order that he might put up a building, which was to be first a reading room, and incidentally a place in which services might be held. So far as we have heard, no steps have been taken, up to the present, to carry out this design. The winter is upon us and many will be glad of some place in which to spend a quiet hour or two. Let something be done with a view to opening a reading room in this building. C. E. Perry, M. S. Davys, Mem. Inst. C.E., P.L.S. M.E. J. H. Gray, Kj.Hi.} ST .L.O.

The 5,000 tons of ore taken out will average $20 per ton. Hon. James Baker, ' Provincial Secretary, writes to Mr. R. Gr. Sidley, Osooyos, B. C., that it is his intention next session to bring in an amendment to the Mineral Act, by which the laying out of the boundaries of a claim will be more clearly defined, and also it will be necessary^ for a locator to show ore in place before he can record a claim. A suggestion is inade, and it is a good one, that the miners should write out their views and forward them to the Minister of Mines, Victoria. They can reasonably expect that the .weight of opininion, as communicated in this way, will determine the amendments to the Alining law to be proposed by thejGoverriment. There is much excitement in the western part of the State of Sonora, Mexico, over the recent discovery of agold mine of fabulous richness. The find was brought about in a remarkable manner, the fortunate discoverer being Arthur O. Corna, a merchant of Altair. About two ���������weeks ago Mr. Corna bought a piece of quartz : from an Indian,^which contained a little over (six pounds of pure gold. A few days later, the Indian appeared again with another lot of rich gold-bearing quartz which he sold for $20. Mr. Corna then offered the&India'n $30, to show him where the quartz had been obtained. The '���������������������������\".'������������������'.offer was accepted and the two went off to the hills, and a little way from the mine the Indian told Mr. Corna vvhefe to go to see the gold for himself. The Indian would, not approach the mine, because of the tradition that any one of the native race showing the mine to a, Mexican would die within a few days. Mr. Corna went ^where directed and found the rich gold mine, ^W^ named Teederena. The mine shows evidences of having been worked for Centuries, : and it is behaved to be one of the lost mines of J the Aztecs. Mr. Corna will soon begin working the property on an extensive scale. White men, who have been secretly prospecting in the Lemhi Vailey, Indian Reservation, in Lemhi county, Idaho, ..have discovered some wonderfully hue gold and copper ledges which they are trying to hold until the reservation is thrown open for\" settlement. The redskins, however, are fully cognizant of the value of the great deposits of mineral,' and threaten to burn the white men at the stake if they do not leave the Indian lands. ' The gold ledges which both the reds and the whites are so determined to possess, are well defined, the formation being decomposed quartz, the ore being free milling\" and unusually rich. The copper ledges are said to be very large and valuable, it being claimed that they are in the great mineral belt in which Marcus Daly's famous Anaconda mine is located. The reservation will probably next, year be thrown open to settlement after the Indians have been allotted their share of the lands, but it is feared that there will be considerable - trouble experienced before the ownership of the stores of mineral wealth is finally settled. It has long been known that the gulches of the Lemhi Indian lands were full of geld, the redskins having frequently displayed very large nuggets and many specimens of gold quartz that, in richness, equalled the picked ore taken from the Nelson ledge in Angel's Camp, Calaveras county, California.

During the past month there have been more towTnsites placed on the market than there have been mineral claims located in the Slocan all summer, or nearly as many, at any rate, and the extraordinary part of it is, that each town has its mission to nerform, and some special point to recommend it. Everyone interested in a townsite���������and who is,not?---claims that his place is the best; and everyone is right. The best town is undoubtedly that which is thought to be best. The profession of a tipster, one who foretells what horse will win a race, is not altogether the most certain means of making a living, but it has its merits. No special knowledge is re- quired to make a success of the business. All one has to do is to take the list of horses entered for the race, and, for a consideration, inform each client that the horse named to him is a sure winner, taking care to impartially distribute all the horses running, amongst the applicants for tips, assnring each one that you possess exclusive inform ation, which makes it a sure thing that that horse, and that horse alone, can win the race in question. It doesn't matter a bit Which horse comes in first, as the one that does win is always the one you named. This method of proceedure might be profitably applied to the townsite business, and, at present, with every chance ofe making a good thing of it. The whole thing is, to a very great extent, a lottery. Accident has as much to do with the v making of a town as anything else. All one can do is to watch the market and invest to suit one's own inclinations. GILKEB & WELL Postoffice Store, Nelson, 15. C. AND GENTS' FURNISHING GOODS.

He and his wife were travelling together, and had between them a wad of nearly $2,000. The robber got $900 from Mr. Guimaraes, leaving the $1,000 which was in the possession of his wife behind hirn. Mr. Guimaraes says: \" I wasn't rattled at all, as I have lived all my life in a mining country and am not easily scared by gun plays. In fact, I have always carried a revolver myself, but on this trip I left it at home. All the time he was going through me his smoking and cocked pistol was under my nose, and the smoke so suffocated me that I swallowed a chew of tobacco, which made me sick.\" BBAUTOHBS: Victoria, B.

Lemon received a carload of flour on Tuesday, and Fred Hume has since got in a like quantity of coal oil. .With a mixture of the two we cannot starve. Thank goodness. A telegram has been received from Spokane by C. E. Perry & Co., asking them to reserve a block in Duncan City for the sender, who offers to pay any price for, it that, is current within the week. We understand that arrangements have already been made for the building of an hotel on this townsite, early in March. The Nelson boys who went up to Kaslo on Saturday last seem to have had a pretty good time. What with excursions to Lardo City, Argenta and Duncan City, and afterwards a careful and elaborate examination of the ins and outs of Kaslo, they must have enjoyed themselves. Had the gang.on one of the steamers only been able to induce their skipper to make a circle round the other boat, the happiness of one part of the crowd would have been complete. G. M; Sproat has returned to Bear Lake City to arrange the details of a carnival to be held there during Christmas week. The judge says everything .will, be done in first-class style, the surrounding ranchers supplying*, turkeys, geese, butter and fresh eggs, which will form the basis of the entertain nient. LTuless something solid is imported, as well as a little teeny-tiny drop of whiskey, we are afraid that some very hungry men will find:their way into Kaslo a day or two after the carnival has taken place. Frank Fletcher and H. Twigg, on Thursday, went down to fishing shack No. 3 for a week's hunting. French Joe made an effort to reach the Toad Mountain Hotel on Saturday last, but. played out. within half a mile of the Silver King, and spent the .\"night in the Nelson Sawmill Company's buildings. - - Notice is given in the latest Gazette that, in pursuance of the provisions of the C & K. 'Act, Block 33, two miles square, situated at the south end of Trout Lake, has been reserved from lease, sale or settlement. J. E. Boss, .Tim Wardner, G. A. Keefer, J. G. Rykert, J. M. Harris, Hugh Mann, H. W. Bucke, and Harry Kruse were some of the celebrities who visited us during the past week. Jim McDonald is back from Kaslo. The Nakusp sleigh road has been completed. As it was not expected that the work would be completed before to-day, Contractor Mann is somewhat ahead of time. A. H. Buchanan, of the Bank of Montreal, has consented to act as trustee for the. owner's of the townsite of Lardo. Mr. Buchanan will sign all agreements and execute all deeds of conveyance. .;������������������ Billy Lynch and W. J. McLeary, who form the Kaslo Transportation Company, were in town on.Monday. The latter looks remarkably- well for a man who has been drowned for a fort night. That he was drowned can hardly be doubted as, recording to his own account, he telegraphed home denying his death, and himself foilov/ed to substantiate his statements. He arrived four clays before the telegram showed up. According to scientists, nothing but a soul can beat electricity in speed. Consequently, of course, it was McLeary's ghost that visited and reassured his relatives. Still he looked pretty solid for a ghost when we saw him. O-. W. RICaiARDSOtf NcIsoh, 15. ���������. K. J.
