The Miner was published in Nelson, in the Central Kootenay region of southeastern British Columbia. The Miner was established by John Houston, an outspoken journalist who would later embark on a successful political career, which included four terms as the mayor of Nelson and two terms in the provincial legislature. After leaving the Miner in the summer of 1892, Houston established the Tribune to compete with his former paper. The Miner was published by The Miner Printing and Publishing Company, and the paper's longest-serving editor was D. J. Beaton. The Miner was published under two variant titles, the Nelson Weekly Miner and the Weekly Miner. In 1902, the paper was sold to F. J. Deane, who changed the title to the Weekly News.

The company is formed to purchase the San Francisco mineral claim, and general mining. The appendix to the Gazette consists of the sanitary regulations issued by the Provincial Board of Health. Owing to the lateness of the season and the depth of snow in the mountains, preventing many holders of mining claims on the higher ranges from performing assessment work, an order- in-council has been passed making it" lawful for the gold commissioners to extend lhe time for a period of sixty days, to date from July 17, for the completion of assessment work on such mineral claims as the gold commissioners have good cause to believe are at this time inaccessible, in consequence of the depth of snow which covers the .lairns. There is no doubt that, in view of the unfortunate events of lust year, a feeling ot r.'lkif has spread through the nations at the result of the lirst heats of the great race. Jt is a remarkable sign of the times tlint the feelings ot over a hundred niillions ot people can. bestirred to their depths by the conduct of nine boys iu a boat���������but it is so. The race for the Grand Challenge Cup came oil* on Tuesday last. On the Henley course there is only room for two boats at a time. The entries for the rsice were: Yale, New College (Oxford), Trinity Hall (Camb.), First Trinity (Camb.), Leander Rowing Club aud London Rowing Club. To people who have not been there it is almost impossible to describe the scene at Henley. The beautiful Thames, after pouring under the old bridge, flows between Hat green maadows, with noble trees on either hand, and well trimmed lawns of private houses coining down to the water's edge. The river is perhaps a little better than 100 yards wide. A jourse down the ceutre is staked off by tall white posts driven into the river bottom. Behind these posts is congregated in every sort of craft as brilliant an as sembly of pretty women and stalwart meu as is to be seen in ihe (ride world. The regatta lasts for three days, aud is regarded as oue of the chief events in the fashionable world. The ladies think al-' most as much about their Henley frocks as they do about their Ascot gowns. Tlie three greatest races are the Grand Challenge Cup for eight oars, the Ladies' Challenge Cup and the Diamond Sculls. Special interest centered this year round the race for the Grand Challenge Cup, iu consequence of a boat from Yale being entered. The Yale men had been tn England some time, aud were prime favorites. The following is au account of thc race. The weather was cloudy and oppressive. There was scarcely a breath of air at noon, although there were some judications in the west of a breeze. All the morning trains arrived heavily laden with rowing enthusiasts, but the crowd was not so great as had beeu expected. Yale's colors were to be seen everywhere. In the first heat for the Grand Challenge Cuivthr* First .Trinity crew beat the Loudon Rowing Club crew by 1 alf a length, l-otli crews started with the 41 sin ike. At thc Farm, which was reached in 2:30, London ied by three-fourths of a leugth. At llawley Court First Trinity spurted with a 40 stroke, but London hung on and Trinity did not get clear until a quarter mile from the finish. London spurted gamely repeatedly, but was unable to catch the Cambridge men, who won with a tine spurt at the finish in 7 miuutes 20 seconds. lu the second beat.or the Grand Challenge Cup, New College beat Trinity Rail with the greatest ease by one and three- quarters lengths. Trinity Hall was used up. Time, 7:10. - After New College's decisive victory over Trinity Hall, fully justifying ali predictions, interest clearly seemed to become intense as preparations for die Yale-Leaudcr heat were hastened. The sky was still overcast, aud there was little or" no wind. Both crews were loudly cheered as they made for the island. "\Vbeu the word was given at 1:3-J4*, Leander aud Yale got away prettily together. At the, end of the island the Leander.-: had a iead of one man. Yale steadily overhauled Leander. aud rowing-evenly-had-a-lead-of-two-inen- ut the Rectory. At the Farm Leander pulled un until Yale only had a lead of one maul Then Lean.er spurted, overtook Yale aud had a lead by one man at ihe half distaccs, which was made in 3:21. '���������Its all over," shouted the Leander meu in tbe lauuch. " We will win now." .). O. Rogers, Yale's No. 4, seemed rowed out at this point. He was very pale aud pulled listlessly. In spite of Ihis the Americans rowed stubbornly, powerfully and evenly, sticking to it iu the gamiest maimer possible, while all around were cries of ���������' Leander!" " Leander!" resounding in lhe air. nud certainly not giving theni nny encouragement. Opposite the White House Leander drew clear. When the Yale boat passed the club land George Langford, Yale's stroke, seemed played out. lie was pulling lifelessly, and the Leander.'' went ahead almost as they liked. As the racing craft appealed in si-jbt of the crowds near the finish, the applause, shouting nnd flair waving began and gradually increased until it assumed the "proportions of a perfect hurricane as the boats crossed tlie finish liue. Finally Leander won bv V\ lengths. Rogers and Brown -of Yale had to be assisted to the boathouse, where they were laid ou the lloor, while attendants began chafing their arms, etc., doing everything possible to relieve the sufferers, itwas feared Brown had broken a'blood vessel. Rogers lay gasping fur breath. Brown was scarcely able to speak, finally he stammered out, " How is R igets ?" The other members of the crew were in good shape. Captain Tread way w s bathed in perspiration as he sat on.the edge of the boat, aud said: "Nevar mind; we did the best we could." The crew bore the defeat pluckily. The Leander men warmly congratulated the Americans on the game fight .they made. Iu the Diamond Sculls, D. McDowell, of the Delaware Boat Club, Chicago, won the first heat from C. F. Guinness. Other winners in the first heat were. 11. K. Burton, Vivian Nickals, Hon. Rupert Guiuness. D. McDowell's style was much admired. For the Ladies' Challenge Cup, Eton beat Jesus, Emmanuel beat Trinity Hall (2nd boat), Balliol beat Bedford Grammar school, Radley beat Trinity (Dublin). ��������� '���������> - At the lime of writing the finals have not reached us.

Rand and other mining en gineers and experts are examining Toad Mountain properties. SLOCAN. E. N. Murphy has struck an eight - inch pay streak on the Northern Belle No. 2. It assays ISO ounces in silver and 30 per cent lead. This claim lies on the divide hetween the Noble Five and the Washington, and was purchased last fall from the Noble Five partnership for $10,000 cash. The manager of the Wonderful Is now ground sluicing the hillside in the hope of finding the main lead. It will be remembered that J. A. Finch about a vear ago threw up his bond on this claim, as the rich surface showing on which he was working petered out. There is another big outcrop on the claim, nnd the float from this is now being' shipped as ore. The property was recently stocked in Spokane for $1.000,(MX), and the shares are now said to'be firm at 25 cents. The first car load of concentrates was shipped from the Washington last, week. The mill is working at present on the dump, which is estimated to amount to 25,000 tons. It is expected that about a car load a day will be available for shipment. Several washouts are reported, including the bridge on the South Fork of the Kaslo river, Forty tons of ore from the Enterprise have been brought to the shore of Slocan lake. Thence they will go out via Rosebery and the N. & S. Uy. SANG A. This is the new town on Kootenay lake through which lies the toad to the White Grouse mountain.

We are curious to know how Stuzzi overcame the difficulty of swearing, in his afiiidavit "to the best of my knowledge and belief the ground comprised within the boundaries of said claim is unoccupied by any other person as a mineral claim." Perhaps he did uot consider a camp of some ten men engaged in hammering and sharpening steel and blasting twice per diem occupancy. Perjury is au unpleasant word. We have no sympathy with men who, out ot private spite, proceed to jump their neiglibois' claims ou some mere technicality, at the same time using some poor beggar's name on the posts to escape detection.���������-Trail Creek News.

The Paris Belle Case. To the Editor : Silt-1 am sorry to see in an editorial in The Miner of last week that you make mention of Chief Justice Davie's decision in the Paris Belle case as a remarkably able one, whereas it is really most unjust and most unfair in every way. Although the people here have nd love for the owners of the Paris Belle, there is great indignation at the decision, and talk of a public subscription to get the case pushed up to the highest court, in case the Paris Belle people should drop it.- In the first place, the Zenith was a live claim when Corbin got his land grant, so that Coi bin could not claim the ground according to the land grant agreement, and if he didn't own it, then how could he own it when.it ran out? The Paris Belle is a relocation of the Zenith, lt has been derided that if a location be made, and another location be made partly lapping onto it, and the prior location is allowed to lapse for lackof assessment, the second location does not therefore " fill " and own the lapsed ground. Therefore why should Corbin have the right of "filling" on'claims that were alive when he got the grant and have since lapsed. Secondly, if the Chief Justice's decision of "rock in place," meaning b_- tween walls, and if no walls be found on the surface no location can be made, every location in Ros-land is involved, as we know they are all "capped," and it requires work to find the ore. Thirdly, Corbin never asked for, and no one ever dreamed of it being claim- ed_that__before_ you could make a loca- tion on Corbin's land gratityoii 'had to put up security ; if this were held to invalidate claims, every location on the south belt is invalid. No, the decision of the Chief Justice is anything but an able one. It is most unfair and a very wrong decision. Yonrs faithfully, Chas. L. Arnold. liossland, 7 July, 1800. Nelson is not Coming Down- Mr. Carlyle's Report. " To The Editor.:��������� Sir:���������In answer to the "Green Hands" letter in the Rossland Miner, I would say that be need not have gone to the trouble j of signing himself "Green I laud" as tins | can be found out from his answer. j The Nelson Smelter claimed to have ! donemore work with its one furnace than j auy other furnace ot tbe same capacity, j When a smelter man talks about the i size of a furnace be menus its interior square area at tbe tuyere-level. The square area ofthe Nelson furnace is (at tuyeres) 42 inches by 100 inches, equal to ���������1200 square inches or . 29.2 square feet. This furnace smelting through 374,.C.') lbs iu 21 hours, thus smelts throdgb per square foot furnace area at tuyeres iu 24 hours 12808 lbs. The.jGreat Falls furnace is at tuyers 52 inches'by 190 inches, equal to 9880 square inches or equal to 68.6 .square feet thus 2.4 times as large as the Nelsou furnace. Tbe furnace putting through 500,000 lbs iD 24 hours, thus smelts1 per square foot1 furnace-area at tuyeres 7288 lbs in 24 hours whereas the Nelson furnace puts through 12808 lbs or 74.3 per cent more at the same time and the same square- area at tuyeres. "Green Haud" talks about using only 10 per cent coke, but he dees not men- j tion how much ash hi. coke carries or how much silica and iron are in bis slags I and which determine the fusibility of a i slag. For his information I will mention i that our coke carries as high as 23 per | cent ash. Our slag carries over CO per j i ceut silioa aud alumina together and i only 8 per cent iron and oar sulphur j only goes 3 per ceut in the charge, where-. as the Great Falls chaige is quite high I in sulphur and iron, which iu smelting,! cives heat enough iu tbe furnace, to cut' down the fuel considerably. "Green j Hand" will find that with his charge and slag, he can cut down his fuel to 8 per cent and his furnace, will run better. PAUL JOHNSON. Nelson, July 9, 1896. We make the following extracts from the above document: All miuiug or prospecting except on the pincers on China creek, as seen by me, was in igneous rock, in most cases I believe in diorite or rock closely allied, rock nearly everywhere carrying more or less iron pyrites, that led some prospectors to report exposures of such rock as ledges of great width, and in many cases to call this fine grained or aphau- itic rock, quartz, when in fact but little quartz was seen apart*from the regular (luarlz veins to be described, although the feldspar tbat mostly constitutes thi-* rock is very acidic or high in tbe pw- i-eiitage of silica. Prospectors find this country very difficult to explore on account of its heing densely covered wiih heavy timber and thick underbrush, especially near the coast, so that it is only by pushing up along the streams that they ha'vepicked up the clues that have led to many of the locations now made. Where so little development has been done and so little of the ore really tested, il is next t.o impossible for any one to reach a safe conclusion as to the value and exteut of the ore now exposed, and all interested in Alberni arc awaiting the results to be determined by moie underground work, the milling tests soon to be possible on the erection liy Mi. James Dunsmuir of the prospecting stamp mill at the foot of Mineral creek and the first cleau-up on the placers where hydraulicing is being inaugurated. In reference to fire assays of nearly all kinds of free-gold ores, I would like to express my belief that such��������� as il is almost impossible to get. average samples��������� are practically of but little value except in indicating whether gold is present or not, and of none at all in determining the probable yield value of in ore unless very careful average samples be taken from a large amount of ore. which is seldom done except by thoroughly experienced men. It is also utter folly by picking out a piece of rock, probably one looking very promising, to attempt to arrive at the value of an ore by the assay value of this particular bit, or further still by the common but pernicious and erroueous method cf averaging up a number of such assays. One must not. forget that theie is often a big gapj between the assay value and the yield value of a gold ore, and that every caution must be taken to determine the milling qnali- ities of such an ore, hence in nearly all gold camps of note where free gold occurs in the ore, fire assays are seldom made and mill runs are imperative, and here again the lots of ore chosen must not he picked but- systematically sampled out so as to give an average,, representative as far as possible of the general- run of the mine, keeping always in mind that ore near or at the surface, enriched by decomposition of the vein matter, is often of high value and easier to treat than ore from a lower horison in the lode'or below the natural drainage level. The drift of these few remarks is to the effect that in this yet untried mining district there are needed much more work to ascertain the size and character of the ore bodies, and also many careful mill tests, prosecuted with" intelligence and experience, to decide not only the value of the on* but its treatment qualities, and much can be done along these lines without an excessiveoiitlay of capital, thorough experience being indeed almost more requisite than money. It is to be hoped that the tests soon _t.o_ hyJuig u n._wi I l_he_carri ed__ _<_ >u _t_wi th experience and understanding, and that tbe results will be so encouraging as t.o lead to vigorous mining operations. "I believe that with careful, systematic prospecting and-exploratory work, work honestly intended to prove and develop the true value of a claim, but not intended for purely speculative purposes, the work of an intelligent miner not of a projector of mining schemes, this district may become the centre of mining activity ; but what i.-* to be most deprecated is the issuing of extiavagant reports that, on Ihr* face of theiiL are absurd, for such invariably redound to the hurt, discredit and retarding of* what may'be a most promising region. A few limy make some small gains by such practices, but everybody interestul in the opening up and advancement of a new locality should strive to suppress such ultrahigh!)' coloured statements as most injurious to their own real interests, and endeavour by actual development work to prove up their property, as one promising claim thus developed will he of more substantial value to a district than a vast deal of putliing that cannot bear out investigation.

A letter from Mr. Gladstone is published today denouncing the wholesale increase of expenditures on armaments as wild, wan I on and perilous, hut it fails" to evoke any sympathy. The public js more moved hy a-serious article from the pen of Sir Charles Dilke, .'jiist. published, predicting that ('rent Britain,, .single handed, is destined to engage in agreat struggle against Germany. Russia and France combined. The light, he claims,"may come olT at' any time within a decade, ostensibly about l.gypt, but really on account of jealousy of Great Britain's colonial expansion. Therefore Sir Charles urges (Jrent Britain to hold herself free from any alliances which might only prove" illusive, and devote herself to'the development of her defences. The Spectator propounds the question as lo wh-it role America will play in such a struggle alfectiiig colonial interests. Having sanctioned the accentar-c-**of the resignation of Cecil Rhodes, the government has now acquiesced in the opposition's demand for the appointment of a select commi'tee of parliament to investigate the affairs of the- British Chattered South i Africa Co. The government wanted a special judicial commission, and the ministers are blamed for yielding lo Sir William Vernon Harcourt in this matter. But the idea is that it will probably either. compel the opposition to share the re- sposVbility or������ throw on them any blame for the dilatory inquiry, which- is' extremely likely, as the committee cannot sit until next session.

The Canada Year Book for 1895. like its predecessors, contains not only the statistics of today but a complete history of the country, beginning NX! ' years ago and leading up to the presenl day. Besides being ot* the greatest value at the present time, these year books should lie invaluable to future historians. Drawn up without prejudice or political bias, they present in cold figures Ihe aspect and condition of the country as laid down by skilled statisticians. The people who draw deductions from these may elision them if they will, hut there they will always be for reference and research. Familiarity breeds contempt, even with long journeys, and though we are all accustomed to enormous distances between Canadian points, we are seldom reminded of the enormous portion of the British Empire whicli Canada all'ords. Her area amounts lo -0 per cent of the whole empire. Forty countries the size of Great Britain could he made out of Canada, while il may bringdown the pride of the German emperor to reflect that we have land enough to make fifteen of his empires. To quote from the book: ���������'The Dominion is so vast that, one part may he charged with perpetual snow, while the other is bathed in almost perennial heat and sunshine. Ono part receives the cold atmosphei c of the frozen sea, ***** another has the surface of its soil baked by the heat of tropical waters. In the extreme north vegetation is so stunted that the highest tree is not as tall as a two-year-old child ; in the' southern part fruits and flowers grow with as much vigor as in Italy or the south of Franco." It-is impossible, within the limits ol* . our article, to give even a reasonable condensation of the interesting figures contained in the volume, but it is interesting -to learn that Canada had nearly J0,(XX1 miles of railway open in .rune, I_!-*>. The actual figures were 15,977. The Kaslo line alone will bring , the mile-ge up to the 10,000 mark. The total gross public debt in .June. 1S-5, was $818,018,705, an increase ol' !j!l<M.nO,(X)0 over the preceding year. The revenue for 1S05 was .$.'���������{.978,129, against, .$*jfl,275,000 -in_J,hc__prrceding year, The expenditure exceeded the "revenue by $1,200,000. delicate one, and responds quickly to tlie slightest pressure. Sowell aware are buyers of this that they operate with the greatest secresy and make the most careful plans to cover' up their transactions. Recently Japan was buying in London, but her purchases grew less and less until they gradually stopped altogether. Japan, as it were, faded nut of the market. But sharp eyes were open, and a recent demand, which has sprung up in San Francisco, is put down to her agents, This Calil'ornian demand has, at any rate temporarily checked the llow.of silver eastward for transhipment to Europe, and in consequence prices are hardening in London. The possibilities arising from tlie Democratic convention at Chicago, if they have had any effect at all, can only have been towards an upward tendency. Bnt there.is a circumstance, definite and plain, which has materially contributed to the price. The British Indian government has definitely announced the issue of a large rupee loan for India, thus strengthening Indian exchange and giving a bullish tone to all silver securities. NOTES. The sanitary regulations of the Provincial Board of Health occupy thirteen pages in the appendix lo the Gazette of the 2nd inst. They should be perused by all-householders, and as few of these are in the habit of seeing the Gazette, we would suggest that the Government supply copies. Where there is no board of health, as in Nelson, the government agent takes its place, and we trust he will speedily put these regulations into force. We have had great immunity from serious disease so far, and we want it continued. The London Mining Journal has a leading article, mainly devoted t.o the progress of Kootenay. It takes the opportunity of congratulating the Hall Mines, Ld,, upon their smelter supei- inlendent, Mr. Paul Johnson, and upon the general manager, Air. H. S. Croasdaile. Wein Nelson, who have watched the progress of t ii3 company from the beginning, know full />well the merit of these remarks. The task of launching the company in London was successfully carried out by Mr. Croas. daileat a time when the word silver was enough to kill almost any company.. It. is to Mr. Croasdaile s per- siw'.ent. efforts that the initiation of the pi-ocni iictivi* policy of the company is due, and ils prosperous career is owing to the technical skill of its able superintendent, Mr. Paul Johnson. <>��������� To buy copper shares seems to be the shortest road at present to a fortune. Our own Silver King is practically a case in point. But there is almost as great a i ise in the large companies of the world. "Tintos,' whose limit was put at 25, were on the 20th of June ar 30 in London, and it is possible that, the Anaconda business will be conducted rather with a view to the shareholders* profit, than to meet the increasing demand for copper.' According to Lewis & Sons' circular, the increase in England, France and Germany, to the end of May, was at the rate of 02,000 tons per annum. Last year the production was" 8,000 tons short of the supply, iind this year the deficienc\__is_iis.t,imatfid-atji5.(.'_f.)0_tons. TRANSVAAL MINING. The liberation of the reform leaders at Pretoria on payment of a fine of $125,0(10 each, hi*.-, temporarily at least, settled the political troubles in the Transvaal. It is true that the demand of Phksiiiknt KmniKit for the prosecution of Mit. Ckcm. Riiodks, may still lead tb diplomatic esttangement, but it is not likely that if, will interfere with the mining operations of the Rand. We may,'therefore, expect to see the production of gold quickly resume the enormous figures which.have so longastonished the world. The output of gold from the Transvaal mines grew from 1.210,0(111 ounces in 1892 to 2,277,000 in 1895. During the latior months of this last year thc production fell off, owing to the impending crisis and the dilliculty of obtaining labor, which was intensified by the political troubles." This year (ISiXi) the returns of the first five months (January to May, inclusive) are given in the London papers as S50,000 ounces, a falling off of (i2.0t.X_) ounces as compared with the same, period last year. Thc greatest falling off" was in January, aud though the succeeding months have n'ot, equalled their correspondents for 1S95, there has been a considerable and well kept np increase, so-that it is reasonable to expect the former figures at least to be equalled if not exceeded. There appears to be some probability of Nelson being provided with a new water supply. It is to be hoped that it is so, and that when it. arrives it will be plentiful and reliable. It is the custom'to abuse tho old svstein in no unmeasured terms, but after all there is something to" be said for its originators.;. They did not put in the system out. of philanthropy. They invested their money, trusting to reap their profit when the town should lie incorporated. That day is - perhaps further oil'than they anticipated, and in the meantime the old service that was good enough for Nelson when it was only a village, is quite inadequate now that Nelson has become a large town and the capital of "an import ant district. But there is no reason for robbing the existing company of its possible profit. Let them lirst, have the op-, portunity of putting in a new system, and if they refuse, or are unable to do so, then invite strangers to (he job. l'lE-|FI>S!O.V_L 4..-KI)S. Cl KO. A. 1?. II AU., JT.

The continued strength and gradual rise of silver has been a source of extreme satisfaction to all the numerous silver miners of this section. It would seem that there are both speculative and solid reasons for the vise, and that of the two the lattei\,are the most assured.

This is the only year that this has beeu done siuce 1888, with tne exception, of course, of 1894. Tbe water is over the C. & K.. railway in many places, and some of tho bridges have had to be weight- ��������� ed dowu to make them secure, but traffic is kept up Bomebow. The Columbia river is within ,two feet of the level of 181)4. The top 'of, the Hood is probably now reached, as reports from up both the Columbia aud Kooteuay rivers say that water is falling. ���������' Later information is to the effect that the Columbia River has overtopped the 1891 mark at Revelstoke nnd is still rising. Mr. W. *\V. West has'again favored us with a copy of his well kept record of thu Hood at the site of Huchanans' old mill. The figures lie supplied us with last week showed a rise of 1'2 ft. 0J4 in. in M days up to 2nd inst. From then to tbe evening of the 8th the water rose exactly oue foot, makiug a total rise of 13 feet 5.I4 iu. On the morning of the 9th, the river had fallen % of an inch, and this coupled with a .two foot fall at Bonner's Ferry leads to tbe hope that tbe top of the Hood has been reached.. * - NELSON (293) b. c: |������cst lotiilloH iu Town.
