IS.���������The meteoric 'a brilliancy of thc career cf Barney Bar- ^ ' nato and his sad and untimely end is $ the one thing talked about in New 1 York at present. "Wizard, juggler or g genius, he certainly left his mark on ������ the financial world, and for a timo at Vleast he enjoyed thc full measure of >| success. Thc career of this lowly-born & London Jew i.ot only adorns many a ������ tale, but it points the moral that the ���������������'most legitimate, if not the greatest yi fortunes, are achieAcd in mining for the precious metals. John W. Mackay .stumbled into fortue amid the desert < wilds of thc Nevada mountains. The brilliant,star of Cecil Rhodes fir6t appeared over the diamond fields of Kim "< b^tey. The young Napoleon of American journalism, XV. R."Hearst, procured the million which he is lavishly spending for newspaper fame, froin ' the mines of Montana and Utah.

" foisted upon the public by clever artifices and advertisements which, while they might illicit the plaudits of'green goods' operators and others of the 'bunco' fraternity, would scarcely find commendations from those who make mining'operations con form to therules o. business and speculative fairness. It is a pity that many good mines, thc .nay honorable and competent mine- seekers and owners, and thc country in general, should suffer from the baneful effeet of such practices, but the remedy is with the investing public. If thc public invests without excrci-ung that prudence which seems to, vanish only when it speculates in mines it will continue to lose its' money, and British Columbia will develop slowly indeed, because the contributions of the investors will <ro only into the pockets of unscrupulous boomers, and not into th-tt development work which the country needs and merits." It must be recollected that Mr. Brown is thoroughly competent to talk of British Columbia mines. For a year ho has from 15 to 20 men employed in the examination and exploiting of British Columbia mines under his own special inspection, and has now from 30 to 40 men occupied in the same way. EXPERT TESTIMONY FIRST. C. 11 if������ ' -SMU VMT. ������1011 A Hew Station House to be Bnilt. I pv VAST DEPOSITS. It is true that mining for the precious metals has absorbed as well as made fortunes. But the losses cf mining afford an easier field than any other for thc dishonest speculator to operate. . Take the-British Columbia country, for instance, The discoveries in Trail, in Boundary, in Slocan, aud incFort Steele leave no doubt in the mine's of sane i*/ men that there arc vast deposits of precious metals, as well as of copper and lead, in British Columbia. Generations to come will find that Province the home of multitudinous and prosperous mining towns. ?ul. thc system ���������of conducting tho mining business in -that country will have tobcrevolution- :'ized. After srmi; years' experience I ican clearly see that it won't work. The shrewd prospc tor and the promoter ���������gets-.the money, and the prosnectitself, and capital gets neglect. This ha* arisen from the fact that capital has not been combined so as to protect itself, and capital gclsm.^'ct. This has arisen from the fact that 'capital has not combined so as to protect itself and insure against loss.' In the rivalry begotten of the developments in thc War Eagle and Le Roi, every, prospector who had a hole in the ground and an ore discovery in Trail Creek country convinced himself that he had a mine and asked for it from 85,000 to $100,000. The public was eager for investment, -an dtho promoter had to satisfy the public. The honest promoter never ilooked for mines, but for locations '.which would catch thc gullible public, ;and for these he ga,-e but little money. ���������"The honest promoter was compelled to joay too high a price 'or prospects,, and through him so had-the public. The ; prospector and his associate, the dishonest promoter, alone benefitted by tin's state of affairs, and it is -time to ��������� .call a halt and for capital to combine &r protection. .IMPORTANT INTERVIEW. ������������������ ,,, 2Sb doubt many good mining men 'and mining operators were carried away during the ''boom," partially los ing the heads, but it is ever thus. Hope and enthusiasm .are catching, - and the coolest heads 'are not proof against them. All this was brought forcibly; to my mind by an inter-new which I bad to-day with Clarence King ~.and a talk of R. E. Brown's, which 1" *Si'aye just read. Both men easily stand among the very few great mining engineers. The word cf either can procure or' turn away millions from a mining camp or country, and therefore should be heeded. "You have a great district in Rossland said Mr. King, ''but I am afraid that things are mixed rnp so badly that you will have grievous difficulty in securing capital for you'- mines." On account of its importance, I give Mr. Brdwn's interview in full. He says: "British Columbia is pro- Tbably the best partially developed i-mining country now attracting the at, tention of the .financial world. The . idicoyerics made within a few years 7-stamp it'as the repository of gold, silr -ycr and .copper. It has, however, suftor- ed from the-Wight' of unwarrantable '.boom.' Its first discovery invited a ���������rush which developed into a. perfect pandemonium of specu tutors and boomers, whose chief aim seemed to be to ^-crosscut their acquaintances and to i.stamp out the bank balances of a too- (Confiding public. 'Worthless claims -.and indifferent'prospects-have by thc .legerdemain'common to questionable ..mining promotion, been converted into ���������^million-dollar companies and .the scrip , B It would be idle to enlarge or criticise a plnin, straight-forward statement like this especially when its truth is patent. Fabulous wealth is undoubtedly stored away in the mountains of British Columbia, but. it will take big capital to. get that wealth out, Capitalists who make mining a business and capitalists who are investors in mines -must first and before all learn to buy no prospect till tho best of expert testimony ha* ooen passed upon it. Again'and again, the blunder has been made of buying prospects on so- called reoortsmiadc by would-be mining engineers, who had acquired their engineering knowledge behind thc bar of a's iloon or at tho 'gambling table, or as some other kind of a parasite in mining camps. Mining engineers like R. R. Brown, Clarence King, John Hays Hammond and Hamilton Smith are not as plentiful as blackberries, but are as rare as Ben Johnsons and Ccr- vantces. They have and need only knowledge,' talent and experience;, but they must have that indescribable something which men call genius. But such men know their power, and if capitalists want it they have to pay for it. Tho great and important lesson which recent events in the mining industry teaches is this : Get the best and most expert-testimony before you invest ii dollar in a mining venture, and then go al cad, and with ordinary business sense and sagacity you will win, and win big. Moreover, the folly of paying prospectors thousands of dollars for a discovery must stop. Tho discoverer, like thc laborer, is entitled to his reward, but his reward should accomp.mjr and not precede thc reward of capital. Not a dollar should ever be paid for a prospect or for a mine greater than that which the ore in sight can pay back to the investor. The development of the. gold and copper and lead and silver mines of the United States and Canada is a question ofi3l$ramount importance to the people "Of this continent. It is the mines of tho Western hemisphere that will rescue the nations of this continent from financial vassalage to Europe. The Rocky Mountains from thc Gulf of Mexico to the Behring Straits are storehous s of golden treasure for the people, which (will beget eras of unparalleled,prosperity for the people of the North American continent.. All this is true, but the methods for promoting this great and important industry must be improved. Thero must be combinations of capital as in other great enterprises, aiid capital must employ the best of expert testimony and the greatest business ability to conduct its operation. P. F. O'FARRELL. : :���������.���������-~������sa>n" An Old Prospector Gone. Old Father'HamiUon, who has been failing for some months past, and for the past week or two has been confined to his bed in a dingy little shack on the lake shore, gave up the ghost Jubilee Day morn, about 10 o'clock. He was 65 Or more years of age; was a pioneer prospector and had managed to accumulate considerable mining property. For some weeks prior to his death, however, he was the subject of friendly charity, ancl died intestate, never believing at any time that he was seriously enough nick to warrant his making a will. He has two sons living in California, who were notified of their father's death.���������Ledge. General Supt. Whyle Has Unbounded Confidence in the Kootenay Country. On Thursday last a special train on It is reported that Jack Quincy who is wanted to save a man from thc gallows, is working in the Nobis Five under an assumed name. The Kootenaian : "If you want to know where tin; great imand town of British Columbia is going to be, don't let your eyes' stray overly far from Kaslo." No ; just about 20 miles in a. Westerly direction. the.K. & S. brought to Sandon Messrs Munn, Bryan and Gray, of-the .local road and General Supt. Whyte, Lund Commissioner L.A.Hamilton, Solicitor J. A. M. Aikens; C. E. Perry, Local Engineer; ��������� Cross, MasterMachanic at Winnipeg; L. R. Johnston, Master Mechanic of the Pacific division ; R. Marpole, Western supt.; Beasley, local sunt.,' and F. W. Pr-ters, district freight agent of the C. P. 11. Mr. Whyte and some of the others have been to Rossland ancl other southern points on a general, trip through the country, and on nearing Sandon he was accompanied by the local men. Mr. Whyte, who is always courteous ���������to the newspaper fraternity, was particularly so to The Review scribe because of old acquaintance, and talked very freely of tho company's intentions so far as they are developed and the prospects generally of this country. Though the construction oi the Crow's Nest road is-deci'lcctonhe could give but very little as to tho points that would be touched between Leth- bridge ancl Nelson. Generally speaking the company had decided to break away in construction from tins river- skirting usage so common with railways in mountainous ciuintries, but engineering reports would have much t������ do with the. route. From a commercial point of view he thinks there is a good future for Nelson, and thc Slocan City branch, some 45 miles long which will bring Nelson within about 70 miles of this town, will help it. This section is to be completed this fall, ancl the connections, rail to Rose-, bcry, thence boat to Slocan City 20 miles distant, will make but a. four or five miles run to Nelson. He is most fa-orably impressed with-the business importance of Sandon because, of its rich mineral surroundings, and the comparatiYelyinexpeiisivcncss of mining operations in this part of the country. No doubt portions of our hills now walked over would yet be the scene of active ancl prosperous mining camps. Like many others who take a practical view of the situation here he saw ample room for a large sized town here by straightening the river, cribbing it, removing the obstructions and, if necessary, planking it for a street. The principal object of their visit was to have a conference with the K. & S. officials on the ground as to terminal facilities and station grounds. Mr. Whyte was coafident the interview had so far advanced matters that a settlement would be reached, without arbitration, and that a more commodious track yard, and a suitable station building would be erected without delay. From every possible point of observation he saw a gr.mcl future for British Columbia in that English and other capitalists, who ' had large investments in other countries were turning this way. For many years much English capital was employed in South Africa, Australia and elsewhere and this could not be withdrawn in a moment. These capitalists, however, were commencing to learn that British Columbia has a most favorable climate, Rood government and rich mineral wealth���������most important conditions not found elsewhere. With these fully learnt in monied centres, thc capital would come this .way as fast as it could be advantageously withdrawn elsewhere. The C. P.R. were doing all thoy could to diminish the cost of shipment of ore so as to leave even low grades workable at a.profit. The recent impost of li. cents a pound on lead in the United States Would lead to the development of mineral refining and manufacturing operations here, that we might export the lead itself to China and the Eastern countries that must be large importers. Manitoba and the N. W. T. were promised a good crop this season and the company would do what th.ey could to encourage a. larger iutsrpro- vincial trade between both sides. As the train was now about to move ant a hand shaking and ''good byes" brought the interesting enterview to a hurried close. The company left for the Slocan country. ers told a very pretty tale of how "Shorty" had done the job, but the straightforward tale of the prosecuting witness carried the day. The men have not yet been sentenced. Mr. Justice Walkem took occasion to congratulate the jury upon its decision, saying that two years ago there had been some miscarriages of justice, but things seemed to be very different now. Some of the prisoners at those assizes'' had been found guilty and some not guilty and he thought properly so. The juries had taken the responsibility of the cases upon their own shoulders and bad ably discharged them. Uavid Goggin was much surprised to-day when the jury brought in a verdict of guilty. Tho big Irishman told a good story of the affray which led to his arrest and showed that it was all in self-defence'., He told the jury that he bent a poker over Dan Murphy's head and then punched the latter's face until he was tired. He did this, he said, because Murphy endeavored to carve him with a pocket knife. The jury failed to credit his story, ancl Mr. Justice Walkem thought that nine months at hard labor might have the effect of quieting his nerves. An amusing incident in the case was that when Murphy had concluded his testimony, the court asked Goggin if he wanted to question the witness." "I only came hero to tell tlie truth," said Goggin. "That is presumably what. the witness came for," said the judge. "He's making a very poor start," observed Goggin, and the court j joined in thc merriment which followed. A feature of Goggin's evidence. was the manner in which he repeated oaths and names which he alleged Murphy had applied to him. The fact that women were'present did not deter the burly brute from uttering tne words with a distinctness that was startling and appalling. The prisoner after sentence asked if the time he had already spent in jail would be allowed on his sentence and looked disconsolate when told that it woiild not. (k Ui An Awful Tale of Disaster. Only 15 Rescued out of g2 Passengers. JUST LIKE THE JAMES BOYS. Dakota Bank Held up and Robbed By Four Masked Men. Dcadwood, S. D., June 2S.���������Four masked men made an attempt to rob the Butte County bank at Belle Fourche. Entering the bank with revolvers drawn they ordered thc customers present and bank officials to hold ap their hands. A little hesitation on the part of Cashier Marble drew a shat from thc gun of one of the robbers, which clipped off a portion of the cashier's right car and forced compliance with thc demand. The safe and counters were relieyed of tho cash contained and the robbers mounted thoir horses, which had been conveniently stationed, and rode away. An alarm was immediately given, and in a few minutes a well-mounted and armed posse was in pursuit of the robbers. A few miles from town thc posse came up with thc fugitives and a running"fight ensued, which resulted in one of thc robbers surrendering. The others being bettor mounted, continued their fight but aro being closely pursued and have fow chances of escape. Thc day was favorable for a raid on thc bank, as the weather was such that it kept the townspeojile off thc streets, and the robbers haying little opposition, had quite a start before the alarm could foe snven. Aden, June 29.���������The Indian govern- ment'^,eamer Mayo, sent out, in search of mising steamer -Aden from Yokohama, April 28, via Colombo and Aden for London, which was last heard of when leaving Colombo on June 1 far the. port, has returned here and reports that thc Aden was lost off the island of Soeotra, at the eastern extremity of Africi, on the morning of June 9. The Ad- n c."rrii.il 34 passengers frum China to Japan. Eigh lady passengers, nine children, two officers and a few of tho Aden's crow succeeded in getting away from thc wreck in a ' boat, but they havo not been heard of since' and there is little hope of their rescue, owing to the bad weather which has since prevailed. The Mayo saved nine of the Aden's passengers and six of the crew just as the Aden was breaking up. In all the drowned and missing included 25 passenges, 20 European and ofliers and 32 of the Aden's crew. STORY OF THE SURVIVORS. London, June 29.���������A dispatch to the Daily Mail from Aden, Arabia, says : Two days after leaving Colombo the steamer Aden was, struck by a severe monsoon. Day by day the weather grew thicker and the passengers grew more and more alarmed. At 3 o'clock on the morning of June 9 the vessel struck on Razeradcisa reef on the eastern coast of the island of Socotra. The bow was instantly flooded and in the utter darkness a wild panic ensued. The passengers rused from their cabins and fled, terror stricken, to the upper deck in the scantiest of clothing. The. women and children screamed in the fright and confusion but the men retained their self possession and courageously assisted the officrs and crew to do their best to save the vessel and to inspire calmness. But it was soon seen that the steamer would not survive the shock and that the only chance for safety lay in the boats. The life bolts were distributed, distress signals given and the boats on thc lee side prepared for launching* Those on the weather side had already been washed away. In the meantime, seeing that some hours were likely to elapse before it would be possible to launch the boats, the passengers gladly accepted the assistance of the crew to obtain more clothing. well managed as some would like to sse them; but for ourselves we can say the paper will ever be made as good as the patronage will warrant. We have as good an outfit of new job printing plant as there is in any office in the country and can do work better and cheaper than any fakirs. Then why not give the papers the preference? We intend to invest every dollar we make in improvements, always keeping abreast of the necessities of the place. We spend our money here, and think we are entitled lo the preference just as our business men are entitled to the trade of the public over itenerant fakirs and peddlers. HIS WIFE HAS SKIPPED. Rev. James Andrews Thinks She Has Gone to Rossland. Spokane, Wask., July 1.���������Rev. James Andrews has applied to the police to aid him - in hunting up his young wife, Jennie Andrews, who he fei.rs has been led astray. He describes her as being aged 17, five feet, seven inches in height, rather slim, long black hair, brown eyes, dark comnlexioned, nose turned up, rather bold and is a minister's daughter. The Rev. Andrews and wife came here Dayton, from N. D. about two months ago and took apartmerits~at the Columbia house. He had occasion to leave the city for two weeks on business during which Mrs. Andrews was left to remain here. Rev. Andrews returned to Spokane last Monday,and found that his young wife had disappeared. After two days investigation, he'\was convinced that sho had during his absence fallen among associates who had led her astray, and he feared that she had flown with a handsomer man, going to Rossland or some other of the British Columbia mining camps. He gave her maicUn name as Greenup and thought she might have resumed that name. Tne police have made a thorough search of the.city several times, finding no trace of Mrs. Andrews. They are now. convinced that she has gone up into British Columbia. Ill BRIEFS Condensed for Busy People., ' The' Argo tunnel is now in 240 feet. The Minnehaha is doing assessment work.

This is, of course, all wrong. Any sensible citizen ought to know that no peddler selling a few dollars' worth here and a few cents' worth there, and under heavy travelling expenses cannot sell as cheap as a local dealer. If the price is low, the goods are correspondingly poor in every case; there can be no question about this. The local people must of necessity spend their money among one.another, and for this reason they should always have the preference. With incorporation, our council could pass by-laws that would put a stop to all this'. The argument is only another reason why we should have incorporation. But while the business people properly complain of this state of things, some of them are not themselves setting a salutary example. If a' tramp printer of whom they know nothing, and of whom they-never .learn anything except that he - duped them, comes along they will advertise in any scheme he presents, while they refuse to patronize their own local papers that are doing their best to advance the interests: of the place. ��������� A case in point. Just the other day one of these trampcrs came to town and solicited advertisements for a bill of fare, of which he was going to print-a large lot for a hotel in town. He got printed just 25 bills of fare, scooped in $50 in advertising, some of it from men who never put an advertisement in'a local paper. If the businessmen will only, one and all, put their feet dowii on this, they, will take one effectual step towards ending the fakir business. In this town, for instance, there are two papers doing what they can to build up the place, and either one, the business men indulging their own preferences, should be patronized by every man who has a dollar to invest in advertising or printing. It may be that the papers are not as large and as Nelson, June 28.���������Ryan and Mines, convicted of robbery, were sentenced t������-day to 18 months each. The seven months they have served will apply on the sentence. McKie, also convicted of robbery, was sentenced to two years from this date. Malcolm McDonald, guilty of shooting at R. A. Chisholm at Quartz Creek, was sentenced to live years at hard labor. A petition from Ymir citizens for executive clemency had no effect on the judge. They were taken to Kamloops to-night, along with Goggin, sentenced to nine months; Heath, for stealing hams, four months, and Locke, vagrancy, one month. PERSONAL MENTION. J. D.

Fitzsimmons, a prominent business man of Neihart, Mont., passed through Sandon, Tuesday, on a tour of tlie Kootenay, with the intention of locating in the.general merchandise business. Sir. D. McMillan, of Crawford & McMillan, was married in Spokane last evening to Miss U. I. Smith, woll- ���������.knowii in this city. Mr. MeMillan is regarded as one of our best business 'men, and our citizens, one and all, join in wishing him many years of happy married life with his charming bride. Very encouraging reports come in from the Duncan River district. The K.&S. has surveyed a line from Argenta to Duncan City. A laboratory is being erected at the Payne switch on Kalso & Slocan railway. The building is 10x24 feet and will contain a most complete assaying outfit. E. V. McCuro will be in charge.' The Payne people have completed clearing of right of way for tram way, and its construction will now be pushed rapidly. This mine is now shipping from two or three cars daily. The Star is operating three air drills. Ho. 5 tunnel is 700-feet in and ' Mr. White expects to strike thc lead in the next 200 feet. In parts the vein in this mine is 30 feet wide, an average of 15 feet. Work on the Reco concentrator will be commenced as soon as Mr. Harris ��������� returns. It will probably be located a half a mile or so up the creek. Two or three'tramways are already surveyed and one will be selected on Mr. Harris' return. The Slocan Star company have a flume from the Cody mill down which they float slabs to their concentrator. The last few days the flume got clogged up. Tho result is an overflow and a landslide ���������bemudling," if that is a suitable word, Mr.Lovatt's log trail, to a damaging extent. The Payne is shipping 40 tone of ore a day,one-quarter of which goes via the C. P. R. The output will be increased as soon as more wagons can be procured. No 3 tunnel is expected to strike the lead very shortly, when the force of miners ancl output of ore will be still further increased. A. W. Mc- Cune is here. J. H. Brock, of Winnipeg, and H. R. Cameron, of Nelson, representing the Great West Life Assurance Co., "spent some days in thc city this week working up business. They appointee! O'Connell & ������elle local agents in San-1 don. This appointment places the | affairs of a good company in hands, ... Work will be resumed on the Rabbit Paw (Star M. & M. Co.) as soon as the properties can be surveyed: The tunnel is in 225 feet, which carries it almost through the Rabbit Paw ground. . The company owns a fraction adjoining, and will continue working the tunnel as soon as they ascertain the extont of ground owned by them. Tho Argo is putting on 10 or 15 extra men to build an ore shuts. This is found necessary because ' of the improvement in quality and quantity of the ore. A. R. Johnstone, the presi-. dent of the company, is expected in the city to-day. A fine body of pro and carbonate has been found very similar to these of the Payne. Another rich strike has been made in the American Boy, adjoining the Noble Five near Cody. .The strike is a 6 inch vein or paystreak of pure galena. .This is the second profitable ': find in the mine within the last three weeks. This Co. is now making 100 tons of concentrates through the concentrator of the Noble Five. Regular shipments of high grade will now be made from time to time. Mr.J.McDougall.formerly superinten-: dent of the Ruth, returned from Lemon Creek, Friday, where he has a force of men employed developing the Lucky George, a free milling gold proposition. He is very enthusiastic over the outlook there.

The people in, these . towns " ,>have to1 work' for what they have as 7/7 well as elsewhere, and;they, therefore, 7 put a proper value on their.belongings; ���������7.7 many of the places, have. as efficient . 7 fire protection as the large cities of ./Ontario'have. "Sandon,' for instance, 7- certainly Has, and in.this mountainous ��������� country wind storms are rarely 'heard of���������in this town they are never known. 7; 'All the conditions in this country, are ./favorable /to insurance,-instead of ".otherwise, and yet what little can be got costs four rates. -'���������'.-.'.��������� There are in Sandon^100 business ,7 concerns, and taking residences, stocks ; and stores into, account, at a .two- thirds value, they would easily carry ,".'''.���������'���������:���������'$3,000 a piece, or, $300^000- alto- 0 gether.;' 'At . 8 per cent, the rate 7 charged, proper insurance in. town c 7would -be about $25,000.a year in >. ..premiums, and since the place had its y, 7 first building its total fire loss would be /.covered: by $1,000. A stock cqfh- pany then having insured in the place .-'������������������; from the first first at. present rates . wouldbe at least $5o;ooo ahead.,.-. . Now,- why,should the people throw- .,7 away their money, or^desire'to throw .it .away at this rate of insurance ? Why not organize a mutual insurance - company 'in tlie town, . to -an extent protect the property holders, and keep this money'at home. We have not looked into the insurance laws of this province to see how this can best be , accomplished; but we know, that in many parts of all of the eastern provinces, these local mutual companies are in existence, even- where stock ���������v , rates are less than 2 per cent, and flourishing. What we do think is this. .That the business men of the town should get some lawyer to look into -'. the matter and' at a meeting explain the best method of securing the end,' ��������� and then set to work, organize and i.n- - sure. The office routine need not be '7- expensive, the risks might be' even selected, and limited to a moderate .per centage of value to prevent fraudulent applications, and guarantee a reasonable degree of safety to those who are making investments in the place.' a'' low rate of interest, the .absurdity lies in forcing' a people to borrow money, often at 10 and 20 per cent, to,'do'it ��������� ��������� . '��������� 7 '-.,,������������������'.���������.��������� 7/ '. Again it is' quite as evident that Canada gained under the protective legislation ��������� of 1879, known as 'the .national ��������� policy, but for many years there was. a conviction formed-' in fact, the high' taxation under it, was continued long enough, that the end designed ipr.it.to serve at the outset���������the -establishment of manufactures���������was' accomplished, and- modification should follow. /(The Conservative party .was opposed^to the tax. reductions the people clamored; for; and the incoming government, though ': refusing all the reductions the people are 'asking for, arc mrking some, and serviceable, results follow/ All -this, goes to prove that no cast iron, irrevocable policy can ever be advantageous. to any country. Circumstances, "surroundings and even internal conditions change,-, and, to,, serve any country, its government policy niiist-.be moulded to meet the necessities from year to year. Speaker Higgins is cutting quite a furrow in his trip through the Kootenay country, unbosoming himself on political topics, .'aiid never forgetting "to say-he has withdrawn from the support of the government,"arid desires to see politics in provincial matters... Men, even representatives of parliament, have a- perfect right to change their minds on political 7 matters. ���������"' every twenty-four hours if they'see, fit to do so ;. but at 'the.-'same' time , they are :liardly justified in parading the,same indelicacy of expression that ;��������� Speaker. Higgins employs. Mr. Higgins, ' on taking his seat in the House after the last general elections, was inferential!)' a supporter.of. the -administration, . in that he,was elected' speaker by a majority that supports the ...government He certainly could not at the time have been elected to that position had he then declared his opposition to the government -To hold' the"-position now "under a change of heart" is taking advantage of the credulity of the peoples' representatives. If Mr. Higgins wants to oppose the government, he should resign ,the speakership also his seat in the house, and go back to his constituents explain his reasons' for change of support, and seek . reelection before tlie opening'... of the next session. This is the constitutional way of doing things by a man who has a proper regard for parliamentary usage, as any representative who holds the position of speaker is expected to possess. doubt is, the'public have a right to insist -, on seeing daylight through it .There are some who think' there was a nigger in the.deal somewhere, especially as Heihzie had a London (Ont.) associate with him also, and if this be the case - perhaps.. Milne has good grounds, for honorably stepping out of the proposition. The Miner should make an, effort to getat.all.,the.details of this matter'while flinging its feeling' at the western'doctor mercilessly., '���������- - PROSPERITY IN SIGHT. There is no doubt but that a brighter business period is- dawning in Canada, and there are those who will attribute it all to the change of government at. Ottawa. There is no questioning the fact that changes of administrative policy often stimulate commercial enterprises in any and all countries; but this is to some extent attributable to the renewed energies of the population in favor of such changes rather than to thc inherent virtues of the changes themselves. If we look across the lines, we have - undeniable evidences that the protective policy of our American cousins, adopted after they secured their independence, led to the establishment of those several industries in all parts of the country, ,that |;has made the United States a power in the world as a manufacturing country; but it is also a question if late efforts to further increase protection, yea even to continue the policy of a century before, is not productive of,much injury from many points of view. The civil war in the States created a heavy debt, and the mistake lies in the conclusion to tax the people with higher protection to pay it The interest of the debt of any country with the resources and the credit of the United States need never be more than 3 or 4 per . cent, and to pay a debt carrying such The visit of Hon. Mr, Laurier to England, at the moment, is very opportune and may be productive of much good to Canada. There is an a:nxious feeling in the mother country as to the loyalty of her colonies, and this is intensified towards this country because of' the acrimony of partisan politics here, It has long been felt in England thai the Conservative party in this country was loyal, but because of the expressions of several Liberals in opposition some anxiety was felt as to' the sentiment, of that party. .We who are on the ground know well there is no room for discrimination between the two parties���������there is patriotism equally in both, and some on both sides have expressed themselves as' desirous of "looking to Washington." Further it is but a short time since a leading French Liberal of Quebec declared he would, like to see a French republic on the banks of the St. Lawrence. Nothing could .be better calculated to allay any feelings of distrust in England than the recent utterances of the Premier across the ocean. He is a Frenchman and a Liberal, and the head of his party and his nationality in Canada, and his unqualified expressions of loyality and goodwill must go far to setting at rest in the minds of British statesmen any feelings of distrust in these respects that may from time to time have found lodgement in the mother country. The Rossland Miner is out at, the elbows with Dr. Milne for backing out of his promise to support ITeinze's railway. There is something, of a peculiar character behind all this the public would like to have light on. From a broad provincial point of view the Boundary country should have a railway, and from a Canadian standpoint, it should be a Canadian road ; but if these ends are to be accomplished by "log rolling" only, the public should be let into the secret. Taking all the circumstances into account no road can handle the business of this country better} than the C. P. R. and no company are in as good a position to build paying branches as the C. P. R.; but.'when middle men come into thc question, as Henzie no The Review isaiot an-apologist for the provincial���������: government, br- any 6mer''gbvernment,for that matter-'; /but still we .like to see faifplay., ' At the present there is'in.some quarters open hostility, -to the Turner . .government because it is compelling squatters to vacate lands that, are required for other purposes.

We take it that.if,an individual or a corporation ���������< found squatters on land required for other purposes, there would be no ��������� one. to say - it was injustice to drive them of), to serve these purposes.' Then, -why should it be wrong-in a. government' to do the same thing ? ' ; court, however, this was ho justification to the defendant in asking them to visit her.

Escape of Woods and McDonald from the Nelson Jail. '���������''.,-.. "The escape of murderer James Woods aiid burglar James McDonald to-day caused much excitmcntin.town,and is regarded as remarkable from thp fact that in addition to the regular force of policemen'-a-ndi, constables, Chief .of Police Hussey and. a number'"ol, deputies were in thecity in? attendance upon the assize court. The flight took place be fore S o'clock",- iii, broad daylight, and was a.bold deed by desperate men.- Much eare.had been taken ,that Woods should be given" no chance to escape, and his break for .freedom at the time the assize court was in session is a great blow to the officials. The burglar, McDonald, is only 16 years of age, and as he is almost too young , to be sent to Kamloops his escape will be a good thing providing he: leaves the country. Woods is armed with a good pistol, and there is liable to be a tragedy before he is taken. How the Escape was Effected. It appears that he asked Constable Winearls for permission to go to the closet and the request was granted. Eeturning to the jail, the constable turned to lock the door'and in an instant Woods had snatched the pistol from'the official's belts. Covering 1 lira with the weapon Woods ordered 'him to retreat into a' eell and with him several ' trusties 'who were loitering about. He then turned the lock in the door and with McDonaid made his exit from the reer. Government Agent Goepel saw the men as they want over the fence, and thinking that something was wrong, ran to the jail and was soon in possession of the facts. Chief of Provincial Police Huescy offered $250 reward for the capture of the men and soon had from 50 to 100 ,men out on the trail. It . is supposed that the fugitives took the Columbia & Kootenay road with the hope of reaching thc Columbia river, from which point it would be easy to get below the boundary. ' '(( ��������� Woods description is as follows: Twenty-five years of age, but looks older; height, 5 feet, 7J inches, reddish hair and mustache ; no beard ; grey eyes ; full' forehead ; light complexion; little'finger of right hand broken at end of joint and turns clown ; finger nail off finger left hand ancl badly bruised last October ; dressed in dark-brown pants ; black cut-away coat. Grand Jury Indictments. . - ��������� The grand jury to-day returned true bills agaiust Ethel Clayton for procuring, James Woods, murder; David Goggin. assault; George Heath, theft; William Ester, attempted rape; Prank McKay, robbery ; Malcem McDonald, attempted murder; Laurance Stone, aggravated assaulted; McKie, Bines and Hines, stabbing. - Tbe dismissafof the charge procuring against Ethel Clayton, of Rossland, seemed to give general satisfaction. The. case went to the jury, but thc latter could not agree and the judge after lecturing thc presccuting witnesses and the defendant dismissed the case. It was shown in the testimony that the girls, Cinrabel Harvey and Florence Beatrice Harvey, both very attractive in appearance, had led a very loose iife and they admitted having' been in houses of ill-fame.

"There are very few. reasons- for an incurable sorrow; Death would not be, one, for there is the hope of meeting again in heaven; sickness that has no remedy would not.be one, for, patiently borne, it brings a blessing of its own; loss of money is not one, for life holds plenty of happiness without wealth, and hard work hurts no one.

Looking at thc beauty of earth and sky, of the gleaming waters kissing tlie green banks, of the myriads of wild flowers and ferns growing around us, I was puzzled again. All this was the work of the great Creator. Would He who clothed the lilies,' who fed the sparrows,1 give to one of His creatures pain tliat could not be cured? "I am beginning to think that there is no such thing as an incurable sorrow," I said slowly. "We agree that evil deeds, sin, crime, are the greatest sources of sorrow. There is no sin, no crime, so great but that Heaven will pardon it." ! ' ' .

"There Ib no sin so great, no crome so horrible but that Heaven will pardon, if pardon be asked." "But man," she said���������"why does not man forgive?" / "Man acts with human power, heaven with power divine. Men in this world judge, reward and punish according to human laws." '"Then it happens sometimes," she said sadly, "that while heaven pardons men punish?'' 'It must be so,'- I said. "Take a thief for instance. He may repent of his sin, and may ask pardon for it with prayers and tears; all the game, men must punish -him. He must be im������ Ui-isoned, and made, If possible, to give Hack -his ill-gotten goods. So with all other sins. I, aril quite sure of one thing���������that, no matter what men may do, heaven always pardons a humble and contrite heart." : "Yet," she said, despairingly, "my husband will never forgive me.

Regarding the present famous and the untold future possibilities of tbe Trail Cr^ek.Camp, so much has been said and written that it is needless to make any more than a. passing reference. Kossland, the great and growing butd- liftss centre, has been styled the "Bull's Kye. of America." It might well be called the Bull's Eye of tho World. It attracts the miner, and the capitalist, the business man and the laborer from all parts. The vast number of mines and prospective mines with which,' on every hand it is surrounded, makes Kossland to day one-of the most talked of and universally admired spots on Earth. . As a field for profitable and^safe investment the Trail Creek Camp stands without a rival. One year ago there wero but two shipping mines; now there are twenty, and everything- else has increased in proportion. Wo have every reason to believe that, under tho excellent management judging by the husinejs-like manner in- which everything in connection with this Company has been executed, within one year the Kossland & Trai Creek Mining Company's property will stand high among the producing mines of the District' yORTHERN H PACIFIC RAILWAY.

SATURDAY, JULY 3, 1897. MOUNTAIN ECHOES/ Slocan City is protesting,, loudly against its mail service. There are now 1003 miners at work in mines tributary to Sandon. The frame work of the new Methodist church is up and work is going ahead rapidly. Slocan City is organizing a fire'Lri- gade, and employing a Church of England minister. Mr. Brassett ia opening a tobacco and cigar store across thc street from the Thistle hotel. T. Abriol, of Nalcuap, says he has a second Sandon at thc junction of Four Mile and Fennell creeks. ���������Notwithstanding the large hotel accommodation of the town all are taxed to their utmost to meet thc demands. The frame work of Mr. Harris' fine three story block is about completed. Rooffng and finishing are now under way. ' Thc subscription list to aid in the construction of tlvi Three Forks wagon road is at tho Bank of British Coluni- bia.3 Tho peculiarities of the street Arabs of the east are wending their way westward in the smashing of windows with lacrosse balls. Band & Wallbridge have been appointed agents by the American Boy Mining and Milling Co. for the sale of their treasury stock. A freight car lumped the track at Three Forks, and it delayed the passenger tram going west some four or five hours, Monday. Preparations for celebrating the 12th of July by Sandon Orangemen are progressing favorably. Expectations are ' high for a glorious time. The Wild Cat lacross boys, of Slocan City, arc loud in their complaints at the precedence of the baseball match over lacrosse on Jubilee Day here. Mr. Werton Coyney, an ox-private secretary and paymaster of the U. S. A. government has lately thrown in his lot with Mr. Lowry, of the Ledge and Paystreak. Some of the C. P. R. officials this week were anxious to purchase propcr- in town, but they could find no one to sell. They .all evidently have a big, opinion of Sandon. A. Haller, proprietor of thc K. and S. hotel, McGuigan, is giving a grand opening of his house on the 4th of July. A dance will be among the attractions of the nccasiom. The hail storm of Thursday destroyed the entire wheat crop within a radius of ten miles of Sandon. It also spread consternation amongst thc crowds of "celebrators"' at New Denver. A movement is on foot to incorporate, the Town of Sandon. A majority ' of the prominent business men are favorably disposed, and consider it a step forward in the march of civilization. The daily papers arc full of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee in London, England, some of them giving pages at a time. It is acknowledged on all sides that it was the greatest demonstration ever given on earth. When we said last Saturday it took the mail clerk 24 hours to assort the 17 bags of mail, it- was while he was at thc work. It transpires, however, that he received 25 bags that day, and went through them in four or five hours. P. Burns is erecting a 20x40 two- story building on the corner of Main street and Dclaney avc. Half of thc first floor will be nsrd ' for a meat market ancl the other half for store purposes, while the upper storys will be fitted up for offices. The following is from tho Golden New Era; it differs from the opinion of the Paystreak: -'We acknowledge receipt of thc Mining Review, a weekly paper published at Sandon. It Is n well-written, newsy sheet, creditable alike to editor and printer. J. W. Home a central figure in Manitoba boom days, when he made a flush, and later of Vancouver, where he has accumulated a lot of "the root of all evil," is registered at Black's hotel. He has an eagle eye on things in this section, and may make some investments before his return. A fakir of the genus homo persuasion, who professes to have an interest in a mine near Whir.ew.ifor. did up a few of our townspeople in Slick Aleck stvle the past.week. He sold the same interest to hilf a dozen people for S200, getting from S2 to $25 down and booming promises for the balance. Silverton is going to have a Methodist church. The Bank of B. N. branch'in Kaslo. A. has opened a -Roulette at Carpenter to have a concentrator. creek u likely Tho second Iloor of Mr. Harris' new block is for oflices and tlie third for a society hall. ' They -"'run in" thc Salvatiou Army people at Spokane as '���������nuisances on thc strut Is." New Denver won four straights in football against Slocan City at the holiday match. Woods, the murderer, has been sentenced by Jud;,o Wnlkani to be hanged the last of {hid month. It. Hammond's horse Buck took first prize at the ^Sc.'son races, taking the second and third heats out of three. I'TBuriTA issclling in Sandon monthly about 450 anim.-iii���������hogs ami sheep each 150, and nearly as many more head of or'llle. Friday's express going west got derailed to some extent at Three Forks, which leaves tho train to-day several .ours late. , < The Oddfellows will parade to church to-morrow (Sunday) c\ cuing where an appropriate sermon will be preached by the Itev. A. Sanford. Don't forget this. F. J. Golden and W. K. Golden will open an exclusive boot and shoe business, with a *2,00U stock, in their building opposite Black's hotel in about two weeks. About 300 Sandonitcs holidayed it at Now Denver on Thursday, and, of course, cumo in for a dose of thc drenching rain. The train returned about midnight. As our citizens generally arc opposed to allowing Chinamen to settle in town, ancl very properly, to destroy the labor market, it may not be out of place to ment',011 that there are now two or three of them in a _cabin preparing to w.ishee shirtec if they are not told to lovant. Notwithstanding the adverse opportunities thc Sandon boys have to practice lacrosse, thoy defeated their Slocan City antagonists on Dominion Day iu a score of 1 to 0. It is true the rain prevented full play of half time, but the chances arc that had tho game gone ou thc winning score would have been large. I.oolcs T.lku It. A friend in Brandon, Man., writing to the Editor says The Mixing Review is the most creditable production, in the newspaper lino, he has yet seen from this country, and he has seen all the publications. Wo can assure the people of Sandon and surrounding towns that if thej'give us their patronage, instead of wasting it on itener- . ant fakirs, we will give them a paper that will be of great service to tho .. town and surroundings. During the week about";twenty acquaintances oi thc Editor, from Winnipeg, Brandon aud many other points were callers at this oflice while on tours through the country. When they look into the resources of our surroundings they all vote Sandon the ��������� .most substantial of the country, not because of its sunshine or even moonshine, but its silver shine, its large payroll from shipping mines. Murderer Woods and burglar McDonald who escaped from Neison gaol were captured- at Yimr on _ Sunday- evening and aro now in the toils again at Nelson. Constables McKinnon nnd Clarke borrowed u handcar when down towards Wancta,whore It was known the offenders would have to pass.
