Value of ths Output Is $3,437,843���������The Largest in the Province. \\\\ Notwithstanding all the fusa that is being made in England, and elsewhere, over gold properties, this year as well as last, in the face of the compar.itive- {, ly low value of silver, tne Slocan leads. . \"<, the province in tlio value of out-put. We dc[ not include the shipments from Whitewater as that place is not in tho Slocan Division proper, though much of the business of the mines there is done in this city. In his 1897 report Mr. Cariyle put down the gross value of Slocan' ores at$110 per ton, and as silver is now the same value as when his reports were aompiied we quote the ores at $110 per ton, which gives a' gross -value of $8,437,843 to the ores exported in 1898, from th������ Slocan. This is by long odds the greatest value of any division of the province. Ths Rossland Miner of the 1st inst., puts the exports of the Trail Creek Division at, to use its own figures, the \"enormous\" sum of $2,804,758 or $033,- 085 less than the Slocan output. The \"enormity\" then of the Trail Creek Division consists of the blowing of its papers. But let us take a single in- III PUBLIC IEII! An Enthusiastic and Largely Representative Gathering.

Christie was called to the chair, though it was the mayor's duty to act, and Judge Lilly was chosen secretary. Mr. Christie did not know how or why the meeting was callsd, as no programme was placed in his hands. The mayor eloquently declared that the meeting was called \"to hear the kickers.\" Mr. David wanted the .council- to give an account of^their stewardship. Mr. Cliffe said the ordinary course was for the council to go over the work of the past year, giving reasons for their acts ; for new aspirants to suggest amendments and improvements, and for tho audience to close in'commonts.

Everybody wel- .2,109; come. ' planation of the record of the closing year fro>n the council. Dr. Young wanted to know the situation of the flume by-law, and Mr. Grimmett explained that the council had had no word from it of any significance. Aid. Hunter heard there was consider, bio dissatisfaction with tho way business was done the past year, and he would liko to hear how it could have been done dill'ereiitly or better. 1 Mr. Buckley asked for tlie revenue of tho past, year, and the clerk said excepting for Deeoinbcr it was ������12,200. Mr. D. J. Robertson heard of sever il charges against the council, and .he would'like to hear them either successfully refilled, or Qubyfauoiale.l. Mr. David understood at the outset that the council were selected for their busincj-s ability ; but was convinced, as were many other citizen**, that ability did not show itself in tho record of the council. They hired a solicitor to look after the interests of the city, and he turned out to be the solicitor of an individual instead. Mr. Grimmett before incorporation reiterated the complaints of many that money Was going out. of town -continually and the people- appeared powerless to prevent it.' He (Mr. G.) also.represented then that the ordinary receipts of the place Would ���������meet the demands of the place without fealty taxation ; but how did it turn out? Ho also represented that a sewer system, was required, but, not the first year���������no w.ord of thoWlumc before incorporation, and after incorporation it was uncermonio.usly sprung upon the people. --There was no blame, attached to Mr. Harris for getting all the improvements.'he could out of the council,; but it was the duty of the latter to stand between the1 (.eople and tl>e undue service of anyone. Some tiino before incorporation Mr. Harris spoke of building the!flume- himself, showing how 'material, a service it was to him. 'He had got certain privileges in connection .; with the stream when building his water system, but he had no power to turn them over to the council by word of mouth. The council had the audacity to assume before commencing the flume that they knew how the people would vote on it, and went to work at it; The vote had been taken, no one was consulted till 'the expenditure wiis-made, and then thoy assumed their''slaws would concur. Mr. Grimmett succeeded by a dodge in electing the council he wanted, and they, especially the mayor, set out in improving their own property at tho expense of the taxpayers. The latter were, in turn,'called |,kjckers\"'for objecting. Tney illegally taxed -tlie people for such improvements and redress was refused. JVcxf year our taxes were sure to 00 higher than the past, as interest and sinking fund would have to be met. When the flume was being built Mr. Crawford made arrangements with the. other blacksmith to put iu no tender, but divide the work. When payments .were..made Mr. Crawford got ������10 to the other's 61. Before this private incorporation the mayor also had business dealings' with the . council contrary to law. Some of the council, in this way, had disqualifies themselves.-and the solicitor knew it. He himself did not like to walk out of town without 'a cent, but the taxes would soon consume Ins property. There was but little public work done in the city of service to the masses, but much for the council themselves. The flame should not have cost more than $6,000, and would not if built by a private individual. If the council had served the people they should not remain silent but set to.work and show it 'hat evening. They were even practically licensing the demi-monde by their system of fining contrary to all hiw and statutes. Ho! then recited���������his complaint against Mr. Harris' water rates, as published in the other paper last week. t Mr. Grimmett felt that when an attorney, was' accused of betrayiil of trust, it was time to speak. Mr- David sa-w lit to lay the duties of a city attorney before the .people from his stand point. A year ago he was employed as solicitor and had to advise the council when requested to do so. He challenged Mr. David to show he had used his influence or office in any respect against the city or the council in favor of Mr. Harris or any one els?. If Mr. David would make the charge that he had in direct form, he, (Mr. G.), woald see that it was properly ventilated. He never once interferred with; the council in any way, shape or form and never advised only when asked to do so. He had clients in the city last yea'- who had paid him more money than Mr.Harris ilid. Mr. Harris,' Mr. Atherton and Mr. Buckly had been good friends ol his when he first came to the place and was pleased h'j had retained their good offices .ever since: , If both Mr. Harris and the ��������� city withdrew their patronage from him, he thought he could live in the place. At the start he tor>k an active interest in the incorporation. Situated as the place was, m.my thought it wauld be better by incorporation. lie talked even to Mr. David about it, an he at the time was .111 .mlent friend of incorporation All the business nwn and hotel keepers were in. favor of it as the government olhVi.ils wore continually interferinsr with personal affairs. He spent much time over incorporation and got no personal benefit A couple months after incorporation all decided on flum- ing the crook to protect the city. Jsel- .-,011 and Rossland on incorporation got /lower to burrow money for public works under an .ict expiring in 1S97. Sandon, of course, could not '-take nd- v-mtage of this but the government promised 11 delegation to make an eejual provision for ''1 his place. -The council went on with the work belicv- ieg the promise would be carried out. This was the requisite explanation. He .iske.l Mr. Harris .who was present if he ever discussed with him in any way the flumiug of Cirpeiiter creek, and that gentleman replied empb.itic- aliy, '\"-No.\" Atone time Mr. David told him Mr. Harris was charging him' too much for his water supply.' .\"t,He 'replied as city solicitor he could take, uo action in the matter���������in fact he advised the.eotinoii to the same, purport��������� ::-s it was purjjly- beyond the city by-iawsj The action, if any, would have to be taken up by Mr.. David va the courts., Mr. Hnrris got his charter from the government anr!|not the city council,'and the city council could not therefore become plaintiff in a suit. He (Mr. G.) was in-no way responsible' for the acts of tlie council. He always, did the best he could for 7 the council' when asked to. act, the, same as he would for any other client' and that was all there was to it. Mr. Harris said he at no time, in auy way,.shape or form, tried to influence the council in any of their acts. If at any time any ofiihe aldermen asked his opinion'he gavo.it, and that was all. He never.in any way suggested to them what'.thev should'do wUh the Hume, or any other public work, lu fact, he had but one or two properties to be affected by a freshetso far as the flump- wais built, ho was no more interested in it thun many ; another citizen though he,was the largest tnxpaj'or in the place, and had to bear much of tho burden. As to Mr. David's water grievance ho charged that gentleman, but $2,50 what hw charter provided for ii store-and residence. 'The operation of iiis system was very exponsi-c and he had to have reasonable rates to make it sel'-sustaiuing. The audience appeared to fully appreciate the. way he put his 'defence Aid. Crawford said iie novel\" in any Wiiy had any conversation in the .riiffcure of any agreement or compact wif.11 any otherhlacksiuith as to charges for ilume work, and he challenged any man to prove he had. Hi., did whatever work w.is brought, to him by tii.e superintendent, charged regular rates for it, and,that is all he knew about it. Beleived he did not do more work than the other blacksmith. This closed the speeches, though a sort, of running fire was kept up as after clops for some time longer. The Washington has 0 foot of solid ore. The Whitewater Deep has down for the present. The Idaho mine was damaged other day by a biiow slide. The Wakefield near Silverton reduced its stafrfor a short time. The sale of the Black Grouse to1 English Co. is making things look at Three Forks. closed the has an up Tho War Eagle Go. of Rossland'has purchased the Eureka, Summit and (.Mineral Hill claims near the Ruth, which goes to show gold men arc desirous of securing silver lend properties. There are at present six men at work on the R. E. Lee close to town driving a 700 feet cross-cut to strike the ore at a considerable depth. This mine, was at one timea good shipper and is like- ��������� ly to yopn again appear oh the lists. Rawhiders are now hauling ore for Ihe tleco that is work $100 per s-ick of, 125 lbs. At this rite a car would be worth from $15,000 to $20,000, At any rate the Reco turns out the most 'valuable sdver ore known in the Wide world. Several men are at work on the Selkirk on tho Ruth hill. A fifty feet shaft has been sunk on the lead , that encountered ore all the way and now a tunnel is being driven to strike the lead whore that shaft if extended , 140 feet further would intersect it. Jt is believed ivhen this work is done the property can be called a .mine and a good one. Slocan City Looking Up.

'lhat there has been more or less friction bet ween sections of the community the /iast year, over civic at- airs, is apparent to every one/ The Revikw has carefully tried to avoid sympathy with either section, but has never shrunk lrom pointing out mistakes and suggesting remedies, which is the proper province of a local paper. In the first place, a. serious mistakp was made in the first election in barring two candidates for aldcrrnanic honors on technicalities which the law would never support. It gave many the impression that the intention of a section of the people was to have a certain board, no matter what the community thought of it. ' Another mistake is in inequalities of payments for salaries and other services for work done. The people believe in paying properly for actual services, but not for time or, names without equivalent service. The revenues of the city for 189S will be about $13,000, and it is all, or nearly so, consumed, when the city ought to be run, and can be run, on a very much smaller sum. Another mistake was in the way the flume was gone about. Most people acknowledge that it was required ; but tho requirements could have, been met legally and not illegally, as they were. In the first place when the council was organized, application should have been made to the House, then in session, for power to alter the bed of the creek. Concurrently with this step, the creek could have been cleared of logs and boulders to carry off the spring freshets. A taxpayer suggested this to the mayor, and that know-all official called him a crank for his trouble. It is unpleasant to say the least of it to be thus treated by officials. Then when the assessment roll was re\\isuu,\" and power had from the House to go on with the work, a bylaw could have been submitted in the regular legal way for raising the necessary money. Built in this way it would have cost less, and been legally done. Some think.that in view of the special benefits certain ones have derived from ithe work on the flume, the, mayor for one instance, it should have been done-by a local tax; but that argument is not so strong when if, is considered that the city is still in its infancy, and other portions of the place will require work of a purely local character also. If those parts are equally liberally treated, the local taxation theory will, of course, be robbed of its force. As, however, past mistakes and shortcomings cannot now be recalled, the best step for the new council to make is to take the ratepayers fully into their confidence in all contemplated expenditures. In short it-would not be a bad idea for the new council to suggest a committee of ratepayers to assist them in the consideration of all expenditures. , At all events we would like to see the taxpayers fully considered as an element in civic government, and harmony restored all around, that tho best- results for the place maybe the most .cheaply- procured. , cost the present owners millions each, and after purchase it takes a lot of money in labor, etc. to operate them for average returns. In the Slocan things are very different. The very best of the properties that are now shipping have cost the present owners but a few thousand dollars���������it takes but comparatively a moderate sum to work them, so that when shipping, a large percentage of the proceeds goes into profits for the owners. Though a large number of the mines so far are but small shippers, because of having; had but small expenditures made on them, as development proceeds, many of them promise in time to yield as well as the largest shippers. These are the circumstances in tlie abstract we desire to impress on pro specfivc investors. Under all tho circumstanecs,we have but to repent what we have often said before, that, it will be nothing short of a calamity if the prospect, mine and property holders of the Slocan do not j make a united effort to properly advertise this country, by placing the bald facts before the prospective investors in mining properties wherever found. A WOR1* TO CAPITA LISTS. ',< * ��������������������������� Ji The report we publish., in Other columns on the yield of the Slocan, is an object lesson complete in itself for the prospective investors in mining prop- . erties. There is, comparatively speaking, but a very limited amount ol money invested as tho first cost to the . present owners of these shippers���������the ''improvements mad;; being for the most -part out of the operations the mines themselves. There is no concealing lhe������fact that ���������there is a preference for gold properties; but there is no reason that will stand a,moment's investigation why it should be so. It.is returns on investments that, capitalists aie a/tar, and they are here in infinitely.greater'profusion than they are to be found in any other section of the country. We have no desire to speak disparagingly of any other section, nor do we intend to do so. We are content to -allow the ' facts and figures to speak for thorn, selves. .:-.'.'' No doubt the LeRoi and tlie. other large gold properties ol\" the Rossland, district, are very valuable holdings; but it in equally . afact that they have From tho appearances of the Grit papers that are , supporting the nq- pacty government of the province o. to-day, it ii quite evident the design is to force Joseph Martin to the front, as they never lose an opportunity ol calling it the Martin-Semlin government. That is they continually keep the cart before the horse that their end may be obtained thereby. Nothing will do more to force Federal politics into the provincial House than this, as Martin is the most distasteful Liberal in the country to the whole Conservative party and is deeply distrusted by many of the Liberals besides. Martin at first declined to enter the Semlin cabinet, hoping some turn would bo given the wheel by which Hi!, the immortal Joseph, would ne called on as premier. That was Scinlin's opportunity, were he a tactician of ordinary merit. At that instant he should have ignored Joseph for all time and called in some other Libera! lawyer, some one less distrusted by his own party, as Attorney-General. Had he done this, Joseph would have had no kick, as he refused the office, and the rest of Semlin's following in the House would have been less influenced by the party feeling. Martin is one of those men who knows not the meaning of the word gratitude, and who has but little regard for tho opinions or convictions of any one that he knows is not head and shoulders above him in position of influence. We arc confident that these two weaknesses will, before long, and perhaps before tho coming session is well advanced, drive some of Semlin's following into opposition, and,. of course, cement the whole present opposition as an implacably hostile element. It, was Martin who drove1. Roblin, and Fisher, of Greenway's following in the Manitoba House, into lasting, opposition, and as Semlin's majority is precarious at best, we may look for Joseph to be the rock on tvhich the government will go to pieces.' .- 50C 50C.

The Miners' Union is now fully incorporated, and an organizer is expected in a few days to press the button, so! to speak, and start the machinery; They will start off with an association of about 300 members, which will in. time be largely increased.

SCOTT & BO WNE, Chemists, Toronto. The trustees of the Bank of England who recently made a rich strike on the Two Friends claim in driving a tunnel to tnp the Bank of England lead, are now within about 30 feet of their line on the lead. All later reports corroborate the previous one in regard to the strike. They sent three men to work on the 28th ult., and it is their intention fo push through as rapidly as possible to the Bank of England which shows a well defined ledge and rich ore on the surface. This tunnel, which they, are driving from lower workings of the Two Friends,' taps the ledge at a depth of 150 feet : and absolutely prooves the continuity of the-Two Friends ledge, which was lost on a fault by the company which was previously operating oil the Two Friends ground.; '���������.'-,' ���������; ; The owners of the Two Friends also contemplate putting a force of miners to work to extract the ore from the ledge and there is no visible reason why the Two Friends should not soon be classed again among the principal producers of the country, in silver-lead ores. It is self evident that the Bank of England, who have already expended a large amount in driving the tunnel, do not consider this a \"Will 'o wisp\" as they are backing their judge- riient with collateral. Mr. D. E.. Seeleye has returned to Slocan City from. the Alexander mineral claim, situated about two .-miles above. Sandon, on north fork of Lemon creek, where he has been engaged in doing development work for the past two months. Mr. S.-eleye is feeling jubilant oyer the. outlook and thinks that with the coming summer his days of triumph will have arrived- Properly worked the Alexander mine will be one of the principal producers of the Slocan country. Mr. Scclcye departed to-day for Spokane, where the principal owners of the Alexander reside. Mr. Scclcye is a man of wide 'knowledge in the mining business and his judgement in matters pertaining to mining is to he relied on owing to liis wide, practical experience in. Alaska, Lake, of the Woods and other mining countries. His report of the Alexander has created quite a furore in miniHg circles, and goes a. long way towards confirming the judgement of other mining men who were pioneers in this section. He reports that-at a depth of1 60 feet from the surface by crosscut, from shaft sunk last summer, he encountered the ledge a few days ago, and that it was fu!l3r. five feet in thickness, nil high-grade.. It is hoped that Mr. Seeleye and the' Alexander company will malie the. necessary arrangements for the continuation of the work which the showing already made would merit and justify. aC������<���������������<������������������������<������j(f,u u> ^siiiiiu tneir movements, somc- . time.i io iLi/ir j:i(';i!. discumfituro.

A Bright Young Life Passes Away With the Old Year.' The home of Mr. and Mrs. Jno. Jones was most deeply saddened on Saturday evening last by tho death of tneir eld- ���������est daughter JSmijy, a most premising young girl, 13 years of age. Emily was never the strongest, as she was growing beyond her years, and the work and excitement of the season culminated in* brain fever or spinal meningitis. The disease overtook her suddenly Wednesday morning rendering hi r doierious and, with the exception of a few rational moments the clay previous, she never recovered to the end. She was exceedingly bright in school, prominent and intelligent in all Sunday school undertakings and a general favorite. ��������� It is hard for parents in any walk in life to part with their children, but doubly so when they are intelligent and promising, as Emily always was. The'news of her death was a shock to all her acquaintances, and the sympathy of the townspeople for the aillicted parents and litte sister is therefore deep and universal. The funeral on Tuesday morning at 7 o'clock from the house of Mr. and Mrs. Yates, Cody ave., where deceased was taken sick, to the C. P. R. depot, was largely attended, particularly by the members of the Union Sabbath schoolsand adherents and members of the Methedist church. The service at the house was conducted by Revs. Sanford and Cleland. The pall-bearers were six boys of the S. S. and the procession was led by deceased's girl companions and classmates. ,Thc remains were shipped to Pennsylvania for interment, accompanied by the grief- stricken mother, father and little sister, Violet. A False Report. Mr. F. L. Christie says he is going to commence actions for libel against all 'and sundry, and especially the newspapers that said he had gone and done it; and, by the way, if he only receives ten-cents lrom each one who lias said so, it will amount to quite a pot of money. The lacts, however, are these: Mr. O'Brien, of the Vancouver World, an old-time acquaintance, on his own account, and ''without malice aforethought,\" gave it out as a fact lhat Mr. Christie was shortly going to wed a curtain New Brunswick young lady, and who. by the way, as a peculiar coincidence, lefr.
