Considerable anxiety existed for some days in the minds of the committee to whom was entrusted, by our citizens, the management of Tuesday, as to the kind of weather we were likely to have. , On account of Juno being generally a wet month, and a'little wetter than usual this year, the ' committee would "willingly hav*- adjourned proceedings to another month, if the queen had .,-,-���������-��������������������������� only adjourned her coronation 60 years ago ; but as she did not consider Sandon" weather at the time, there was no help for it but face the elemental, as jj they might be,and run chances?. Some ���������'$ thought erecting^n aerial canopy. from hill to hill and dispense with even sun- shine,if sunshine was willed, but Peter Annance. Chas. Hunter and others who have more confidence in the weather king than some of frailer humanity said, "No, we f-gill take our chances in tho unroofed' firmament." They took them, and won, for though there were a few slight showers, the day was a favorable one. The morning was ushered in by the "booming" of cannon, at 4 o'clock under the hands o'' gunners Black and Cunning, so the Review scribe is advised, as he was not up early enough to see the early expressions of ..loyalty, for himself, though he was awakened at the first sound of the. signal gun. Prom the close ofthe cannon salutations of early day until the arrival of the Kaslo train at 10.30, the people generally occupied themselves in the erection of evergreens and mis- ' cellaneous decorations, one citizen vieing with another, until Reco Ave. from end to end was one display of Union Jacks, tri colors and other bunting. Dur/'^ ihe interval CD. Hunter, Marshal 'fi. the day, and his aides-decamp occupied themselves skirmishing around getting everything in perfect order for the visitors. Promptly on time came the Kaslo train with, nhout 200of the youth and beauty of that and intervening points, at 11.15 the O. P. R. express -'Hived with' over S00 from Slocan City, New Denver, Three Porks and other point.*, accompanied by the New Denver brass band of some 14 players. They .played well together but would have discoursed much sweeter music with the aid of reed instruments. On the arrival of tlie train the oand and following of citizens paraded Reco Ave., marshaled by Sir. Hunter ._ md associates until tho noon hour.

Chouillon, of Rouen, Looking Over the Ground. In quaint, but readable characters, the name of'L, Chouillon, Rouen, France," was inscribed on the register ofthe Arlington hotel last Saturday afternoon. This fact did not convey much information lo the average person, but a News man has learned that it-may turn out to be quite significant before the summer is gone. Mr. Chouillon informed a representative of the. News that he was making a tour of investigation and inspection of theKootonay country mineral resources inbehalf of extensive monied interests in suny Franco. He had already spent sonic littlo time in the Rossland and other districts, was now virtually on his way borne. His limited time permitted but a short stiy in Slocan City, but he expressed himself as v���������ry favorably impressed. While hr-iv he wont up Springer creek aud m*i !������������������ ���������'. brief examination of tho well i.jown Tamarack, Viking and l'hcei '. * iu! i = Mr. Chouillon said that ho w.i. i.ni, here to consider claims \.;'.'.

He. disclaimed being an expert himself, but was mere'., .'���������'���������resenting his friends, the French I'^pltal- ists, and was making a general siii vcy ol the British Columbian min* :������������������! I'.elds. That the impressions made on ..im in regard to this district were favorable, even from his limited observation, cannot be doubted, as he, wtntecl that he intended to leturn to Slocan Citv bv > *��������� - the 1st of August. As he will then bring a French mining engineer with him it is evident that he means' business, and will come with that end in view if properties and prices are satisfactory.���������Slocan News. An accident bc-fob Mr. Wm. Bennett, foreman o! the Slocan Star mine, on Wednesday afternoon last, and no one can even imagine how it did no result in instant death It appears he was up in the cutting Set ween the^rd and the 4th tunnels, looking after ���������'the operations of the mine, and- by some-means wholly unknown to, him, he slipped and fell a distance of CO feet on the rough and broken rocks below,-and yet escaped from broken bones and internal injuries, as far as hs3 physician, Dr. Powers, at present can tell. He appears to have lost consciousness from the moment'he slipped, expecting no doubt, nothing but sudden death from the frightful consequences. Though consciousness returned soon altar he was picked up, he appears tb have no knowledge of what happened during his descent, nor for some time after. He is, of course, badly bruised externally and there are evidences of his having struck something in his descent which broke the force of the fall that otherwise should have had the worst results. ' He is at present as comfortable as his condition will allow, and the doctor thinks ho will be around again in a reasonable time, but of course ho cannot tell the exact' nature of the injuries received by his patient for some days to come. Engineers' Meeting. A meeting of the British Columbia Association of Mining.Engineer*' was held in New Denver last j'hureday, among others present were: H. West, A. R. S. M.; A. J. Qolquhoun; M, E.; F. Monctoh, F. G. S.; A. Dick, Captain Morrish and A.M. Bucko. It was decided to affiliate with the Canadian Mining Federation, also to make arrangements for a grand rally and banquet in Vancouver next January. The association which aims to be representative of the mining 'engineers ancl mine owners of British Columbia, has upwards of SO members, all of whom are'in en of standing in the profession.���������Ledge. The Exchange Group. Another deal is on for the Exchange group, Springer creek," this time the sale is made to Alexander Dick for Sir Charles Tupper, ��������� Ottawa,��������� at ������42,500. These properties were, .originally bought"from Messrs. Boifs and Isaacson, by tho Bremner syndicate. Later they were turned over to fhe syndicate, represented by B. C. Campbell John- si on, which failed to make (he first .payment. It no*w leoks as if the property were about tp be placed in the hands of a Cai.adian company that has capital, and will work it. An extension of time has been allowed the Bremner syndicate from Jun . G to July 15.���������Ledge. Here and There. T. A. Garland has bought a three- quarter interest in the townsite of Anaconda for ������10,0ii0. Kaslo beat Rosslanu on the home grounds on Saturday last, in a score of S to 1 at base ball. The $8,000 opera house at Trail is rapidly ncaring completion and will be finished by July M. ,> It is rumored that IheC. P. R. repair shops at Vancouver will be removed to Revelstoke at an early date. Again on Sunday Kaslo base bnbists beat Rossland, at Kaslo] in a score of 10 to 9 at the ou.l oi 9 innings. . , Mr. R.

Acting Government Agent Gocpel is .the,authority .lor the statement that work will be commenced in a few clays on tho New Denver-Throe Forks wagon road. The. cost of the road will be met* chiefly by public subscription. Harry Taylor, of somewhere, and Mrs. Kcrciieval, of Spokanc.have been creating quite a sensation around Ross- land,Grand Forks and elsewhere as Mr. and Mrs. Taylor. The result of the sensation is thu Mrs. has returned to Spokane and detectives are hunting for the "Mr". ' J. J.

In the early days of Portage la Prairie "Jim" kept a hotel there. Galena Has been pretty busy for some days past. First came the telegraph liners who struck two lines from Arrowhead going south. Next followed a gang of choppers to clear 40 acres of Rosenheim townsite which, with the 40 already cleared, will make a good showing ; this contract has been taken byll. Cossar,of Hall'sLanding. To-day Genelle's tug and scows landed a cargo of horses which, with a large force of men, will be used in taking out timber here where thev have limits containing millions of feet. Communication. To the Editor of The Mining Review : DiiAJtSm,���������It will, f think, be generally''admitted that the Diamond Jubilee- celebration held in Sandon wis, with one n.-table exception,-a great success.' On the whole the various committees deserve praise for *he manner in which tiie affair was carried out. But I think a m'ost deplorable mistake was made in allowing the base ball game to supplant the lacrosse ganfe, and I think i������o for several reasons. As 1 understand the matter it was arranged some weeks ago with the "joneral committee that the Slocan City lacrosse club should scud a'team here to play our club. The team came and were the guests of the committee and of the people of Sandon generally. It was only on the'21st that it was settled that the Kaslo base ball team (a lot of paid, professional, imported Americans) should plaj* a scratch team from Sandon' for a large; purse (good money carried away) and expenses Without more, then it would appear tome that the lacrosse teams should have been given tlie precedence, ns the game was the first arranged and the players were amateurs and '.uu* own citizens. Further, when wo consider the nature of the holiday and that, lacrosse is the national game of Canada, the action ,of the sports committee seems incomprehensible, ft must not be forgotten too that large numbers of spectators went to see a lacrosse'match, and instead had to pay to see a very indifferent garni- of base ball. I hope next-year when we celebrate it will be borne in mind that wo arc in Canada, and that lacrosse is the national gainc, aiid not base ball. To say the least^the Slocan City lacrosse club is entitled to a humble apology from tlie' committee for the way it has been trcrtcd. c ' Cakadiax. Oyer GHUGIRT FLOODED. 60 Families Driven . Oat of Their Homes. A Cloudburst and Continued Rain the Trouble. On June 17th Calgary was visited by a very disastrous cloud-burst, whic'i with the heavy rains of the previous days caused the Bow and Elbow rivers to overflow their banks. The Elbow rose six feet in the night. The fiats ol the city were soon submerged and had it not been for the prompt action of the fire brigade and the Mounted Police, who valiantly worked all night with teams and wagons removing the residents, serious losses of life might have resulted. As it is many of the citizens are heavy losers by the destruction lo property. The C. P. R. is a heavy loser as miles of track and several bridges were washed away. Trailic was entirely suspended for a time, but soon the company by making transfer sent tlie detained travellers on their respective ways. In consequence of the washouts mails from the east have not reached the west for about a weak. ���������A m SLOGAN DEAL. Idaho, Alamo and Associated Properties Sold to a Scotch Syndicat.e. New Denver, Juue21,���������An important meeting of three big companies is being .held here lo-c'-v-y, which it is understood will result in thc^transfer of some of the best known "properties in the Slocan country. Tlio companies interested are the Adams Mining company, the Slocan Mill company au.l the Slocan Tramway company. It is understood the property of these companies, and the Cumberland Mining company, as well as the control of the Idaho mines, will pass over to the Scottish Colonial Gold-Fields Co., Limited, Edinourg, Scotland, represented by Mclvcr Campbell, of Vancouver, B. C, and London, early next month. The consideration and terms are not made public,-but it is said to be in the neighborhood of $400,000. Among those representing the companies arc^'W. H. Yawkey. of Detroit; Frank Con, of Du- luth; and Captain N. D. Moore, The properties sold are : The Almo group, consisting of these claims: The Almo, Twin Lakes, Ivy Leaf, Clarence, Hampton, Victory, one half ofthe Continental and the Morning. The Cumberland Mining company's holdings: The Cumberland, Daisy, Eastern, Thistle and one half of High Ore. The Idaho Mining company's properties : .Controlof the Idaho and St. John mineral claims. The Slocan Mill companies'holdings: The mill site, a 100 ton concentrator, ore bins, water rights on Hows on and Carpenter creeks, lesidenccs, office buildings, etc,, located on the Canadian Pacific track, one mile west of Three Forks. The Slocan Tramway, company's property: Seven thousand feet of gravity tramway and terminal,' with right of way, and three mineral claims ���������The Current, Tramway and Cedar. - Spokane Spokesman Review, LARGE 60LD STRIKE. Nelson, June 21.���������The most important gold strike ever made in the Nelson district is reported from the Granite claim, owned by J. P. Sweclbe rg and adjoining the Poornnan group on Forty-Nine creek. It appears that Mr. Sivedberg has done about $1,000 worth of work on' the cl'aim, principally ground sluicing, in the hope of finding tlie ledge, and his efforts ha-c proved successful. The ledge was sluiced clear to the boundary line of the White, one of the Poorman grouo, and it is said to be a solid five-foot vein of ore, free milling and very high grade. The same ledge runs through the White and the strike of Mr. Swedberg establishes the fact tnat the ledge is continuous and an extraordinary large body "of ore. The White mine has about 400 or 500 tons of ore on its dump and it is a much higher grade than any ever found inYnc Poorman. The latter mine is being worked steadily ancl the tunnel is now in 28 feet. . A carload of ore from the Howard Fraction on the Slocan lake will leave to-morrow for the Nelson smelter. Castle. One can immediately see the striking resemblance it bears to the ore from the Porto Rico, -which is very rich in both gold and copper. , The castle ledge shows three feet of solid quartz, carrying iron pyrites and copper. The copper is a rich chalco- pyrite. Two assays made here in Rossland show S42 and S44. ���������, The copper runs about K> per cent., the remainder of the value being in gold with a little silver. The quartz brought in by Mr. Massam is very rich looking. Mr. Mas- sam says the ledge appears to be the same as that from which the very rich ore is being taken on the Porto Rico. The owners will immediately sink 30 feet on the ore body. Rossland Miner. Condensed for Busy People. HANSON NOT INDICTED. JAIL, ESCAPE AT NELSON. Woods and McDonald Succeed in Gaining' Their'Liberty... Nelson, Jnne 24.���������-James Woods, who was charged With the murder of Samuel L. Wood, near Nelson; last October, and James McDonald, accused of the burglary of a cigar store here, escaped from jail to-night. ��������� Woods succeeded in grabbing Constable WiRearl's pistol from hini when bis back was turned and then at tho point of the gun forced him into a'cell. Ho also locked up a number of trustees. Government Agent Goep'el saw the men jumping over the fence and gave the alarm. A large number of citizens are hunting them. Chief ol'Pr'ovincialPoliceHussey offered $250 reward for their capture. The assize court is in session and true, bills have been returned to-day against, both of them. Alleged Slayer of John Dyer a Free Man Once More. Nelson, June 24.���������The grand jury did not find a true bill against James Man- son, charged with the murder of John Dwyer. Ethel Clayton was acquitted ofthe charge of enticing girls underage to disreputable resorts. It will be remembered that James Manson was committed for trial on December 23 by Justice Townsend for the murder of John Dwyer on the night of December 12, at the Club restaurant on Spokane street. Although the evidence produced at the coroner's inquest showed that Dwyer died from laceration of the spleen, it was as much as proven that if it had been done by Manson, who had quarrelled with Dwyer earlier in the day, the man could not have lived.as-long as he did. Manson, who was foreman at the Red Eagle, has many friends in Rossland who will be pleased to learn that he has not been indioad. It is expected that he will return fo Rossland at once. Slocan City News. Steps have been inaugurated by the editor of one of our papers to establish some form of local government for the town, and a meeting called to dis cuss the ways and means to carry out the project. . 'The proposal is that a board composed of property holders and bona fide citizens of the town shall be elected at a public, mi eting called for the purpose, and after such election this board shall bcr sub-divided into committees who will be charged to watch tho interests of the town as regards fire, sanitary arrangements, ancl to look to the general enforcement of the provincial statutes in the community. The experiment, for experiment it is as far as the Kootenays arc concerned, will be looked upon with interest, by all towns that have "ot yet reached the stage that would warrant asking for ineorpoiotion. H. P. Christie, who has been acting as provincial constable at this point for the last two months, has received official notice of his appointment to the position of mining recorder for the new division of Slocan City. The town will be the official center of the division, and a record office will be erected office will be erected or purchased almost immediately. Mr. Christie's appointment is a popular one with the eiti/.ens and mining men. Nearly 60 Companies Organized. W. C. Archer, who returned from London last week after an absence of over four months, said in reference to the London market : "I believe there arc nearly GO companies registered in London for operation in British Columbia, and it seems to bf> quite a general opinion that there will he a very active interest taken in London in British Columbia mining-properties this fall or tho coining spring.', A Another Ricli Strike. the the A rich strike has been made on North Fork of the Salmon river on Castle, one of a group of six claims known as the castle group, situated near the well known Porto Rico group, which bitter-is unden* bond to W. H. Corbould.s Canadian Pacific Exploration company. Tho claims belong to E. F. Massam, P. Quinlan, J.R.Massani and others, of Rossland. E. F. iMassam brought, to the Miner office yesterday a quantity ofthe quartz found on the Lemon Creek News. ��������� The Cold Blow will commence work this week. ' It is considered a very valuable property and a few week's work will make a big showing. This group is being handled by a very strong company. Tho Black Prince groupe wilt put a large lorcc of men to work as soon as the road is completed up Lemon creek. A great deal of work^has beeu clone on this property with splendid resubs. Manager Shaw of the Queen Dido group has at present a couple of men on his property. He is anxiously awaiting the completion of a new road, like many others. It costs 10 cents to have stuff paoked up to the group at present. Work is be rapidly pushed on the Black Beis and B. C. D. W. McGregor, mining engineer, has the work in charge. He has every reason to believb that they will come to the front before before very long. The White Rose is a claim that is heard of a great deal at present, It has, like a great many claims on Lemon creek, made big progress during its first assessment. Election of Officers. The first annual meeting of the stock holders of the Selkirk Mining and Milling company was held at the office of the company here on Thursday. The following officers were elected : President, J. A. Smith; vice-president, Thomas Brown; secretary-treasurer, W. W. Fallows; directors, M. A. Lene, F. J. Golden, G. H. Wright and M. L. Grimmett. Next week wc will give a description of the property of the cora- pany. Noble Fiye Directorate. The directors of the Noble Five Min-' ing and Milling company met at . the office of the company in Spokane last Tuesday and CD. Rand, of Vancouver, was elected director, vice .1.. F. Cutler, resigned. F. J. Hoffman of Spokano was elected secretary, vice J. F. Cutler. This change in the directorate is due to tho recent big change in stocks, Mr. Rand, it will be remembered, having purchased over 200,000shares of Noble Five stock within a period of five weeks. : Annual School Meeting. Sandon had its first annual school meeting this 'morning. Mr. M. L. Grimmett 'explained the. law on the election of trustees when .1. A- Smith was chosen for three years, A. Crawford for two, and J. H. Lilly for one. As there was no other Inudness before the meeting a prompt adjournment followed after a fifteen minute session. The Noble Five is shipping a car of ore daily W. Benncr has a half interest in ��������� the . Sophia on Milford creek now. The Argo is getting ready for a second shipment of ore shortly. A gang of six men went out the other day to do development work on the Silver Plume. J. L. Peafsoll and H. Williams have left for the Illicilliwaet country to do development work. H. R. Cameron an insurance man of Nelson, and J. H. Brock in the same line in Winnipeg aredn town. It is given out as a ' fact that'the Pilot Bay smelter and. belongings are to change hands on the 1st prox. The Three Forks concentrator began operations on Monday with several men employed. They have consider, able work ahead. Three Forks is coming to the front again in mining finds. G. Petty has fonnd a ledge five feet wide, close to the surface, that shows 1,100 ozs. of silver to the ton. M. J. W. Sutherland, from San Francisco, who is examining the resourc������s of Kootenay for some Californian investors, was in town on Thursday. He will visit the Lardeau and Trout Lake districts. Dan. McNeil representing a Colorado syndicate at Cripple , creek is in the city looking up investments. He says the English capital invested there is wending its war t0 the Slocan country as fast as it can. ��������� A tunnel 215 feet in length is now being out in the Selkirk, and seven men'are working in the shafts. .There is"a well defined ledge containing car-' bonate of ore, and the prospects in all respects arc most promising. The shipments from the Slocan Star continue steadily, and the ore is if anything improving. Of the concen-, tratcs the results are 80 oz. of silver and 65 percent, lead. The company now have 95 men at work in the mines and 15 at the concentrator. They are shipping regularly 20 tons per. day of concentrates and crude ore from time to time as circumstances call for it. i John Thoma3, of Rossland. local manager.of the British Columbia Exploration companyy of Tacoma, Wash., yesterday purchased for $20,000 from Schultz & White, the Ottawa^ near Trout Lake, in the Lardeau country. Joe Young has just returned from an examination of the property and it is upon his recomnadation the purchase ' was made. The B. C. Exploration company was organinized last fall and the - Ottawa is the first property it has purchased.���������Rossland Miner. Wm. Karr, of this town, and associates, appear to have made a fortunate strike on Lemon Creek, 2 miles from the new townsite. They struck a locality that has six distinct ledges parallel on the side of a hill of granite and limestone. Surface indications in 4 arc g'dena and ruby and gold in the other two. The ledges vary from 6 to 22 inches iu width. An assay has been made showing $48 in gold and 5 oz, of silver. Tho company have done the necessary work so far to conform to the law, but are undecided as to their future course. Tfre Cameroflian. \ One of the most valuable properties on Lemon creek is that of the Cameron- iau Gold and Silver Mining Company. As the principal owners and officers of the company are Sandon men, a brief description of this property may not be out of place. The company owns two claims, the Cameronian and Had- norian situated about three miles from the mouth of Lemon creek. On the Cameronian is a very strong ledge with a pay streak of from three to five feet of rich, gold and silyer ore. A large number of assays of the ore show an average assay of about $100 in gold and 75 ob. silver per ton. Some $2,500 have been spent. in development and at present there are on the dump about 70 tons of ore awaiting shipment. The company do not intend shipping any until a trail has been built up Lemon creek from the C. P. R- crossing; it is reported that the trail will be built at once. Development work on the property will bo pushed ahead with rigor. Those who have examined this property say that itis bound to become.one ofthe big mines of the Slocan. . From what we can learn we jndge that an investment in the stock of this company will prove n profitable one. The president ofthe comyany is J.R.Cameron and the Secretary-Treasurer, M. L. Grimmett, . .-.���''./:���>'' . -est Jy* ���? THE MIMSa REVIEW. ;SAtlJRD^Y^i:JOTE,M, 1897. v , * A�����K B��ITIP^; ctiLUM BlA, ^ATURDAY;.........;:;.,.j*jNE.,25,'-1S<)7.

In fact the mintage of our entire 'mineral product need cost but little more, than sve are now paying Great Britain'for the coinage of silver and copper only. With smelters and other refining institutions now in operation in British Columbia, and die march of progress indicating a largely increased mineral output and the improvement of machinery to perfect our bullion, the keener the necessity-for mintage appears oh the. surface. ��� There are two mints in Australia, some in India, Calcutta and Bombay; and in Canada where our constitution gives us full control over our own coinage, there is none. Paper currency is not a currency at all but merely a promise on the part of the government and the banks'using it, to pay the standard currency of the world when asked to do so. Only nine countries in the world have less silver than Canada, and this country . has'not one-fourth of what, is'required for actual use, a statement the banks of this province at least will fully verify if asked for an opinion on the subject. Canada has with all its mining resources but $t.03 in silver for every head of its population, and but about $3.00 in gold, while its total currency ��� is but $9.16 against $24.00 in the United States, $20.00 in Great Britain, $35 in France, $63 in the straits . settlements and $28 in Belgium. Commerce must be considerably, re- ' . stricted while this condition of things "remains. . , The right to- establish a mint in Canada (and it should be established in : British Columbia where the minerals are found) is not denied. The profit it would be to the country if .established is readily apparent from : -the figures we have quoted, the neces- . -sity for it is found in all the commercial oppositions of .the day, and yet them) give' more of their ',time' to wrangles over appointments to office than such inatters.' of;such grave ,im- porjance to the1 country. , Whether the object sought by the Federal government will really.:1 be gained or-not' in the recent Mining act. is a question future: operations alone can decide. : - As the result, of his recent visit to this country,Minister Blair, said in the House the other day the mining; interests of British Columbia were all right, and the bill "to .enable'-.,the government, if they see,fit, to do so, ,:to.Timpose an export duty on ore is. to fostcr'smelting in -this" country..' The presumption' is that if exporting is-, weighted'* with, financial burdens,' smelting will have tq, be done here.' , Weil,- another step towards, building up the industry i.* the free importation Of smelting and.concentrating machinery.- Instead of forcing a horse to drink a certain water, a better plan would be to give him water he will like to drink, when, he requires it. No .doubt B. G. miners, would prefer smelting in this country, if the smelted article''cost'them; Jess-than tlie exportation of ore, <to smelling at American, institutions. The intentions of/the government,, in ^'taking 'to themselves the power to place an export .duty oil ore may have been of the very best, but the ;.,enforcement of. the .-measure may prove a Hardship, if it is to bring about a provincialindustry that can. be-better reached through.other chan-" nels." ;,' If 'die government will only aid in bringing about such conditions as will greatly reduce the cost of smelting* here, the work .will be. done- without Nco^mpii!sion' through the enforcement of^a tax on the exijort of. ore.. .

The Home-Payne people w 11 h.iil.! :t trail from the Broadview down to the North Fork, about two miles above Ferguson, to the site of th:* coMC.-titra- tor that is to be built this summer. James Black, the well-known hotel man of New Denver, was in town this week. He was so strongly impressed with the future-possibilities of the city that he invested in six lots, taking an option on three n*ore ; he will build as soon as lumber can be had. Hejjsays Trout Lake has all the ear marks of a good permanent town. ��������� Robt. Jamieson, M. 13., is in town representing a strong syndicate of Montreal and Scotch capitalists, organized to devf lop the Queen of the Hills group 1 east of the Silver Cup. They will build a trail down to the lake, a distance of about four miles. Should the development justify, a tramway will will take tho place of the trail. Mr. Jamieson is accompanied by his wife and: will make Trout Lake his home " for the summer at least. The chief points of attraction ' for prospectors are the south side of the lake'from tlie Glacier down to Tenderfoot and Canyon Creeks. Some good finds have been made on" Tenderfoot running well in gold. On the north side of the lake John Stauber has located some claims running high in silver an\������coppcr. Between the Orphan Boy Summit and the head of the South Fork, White, who located a claim in that vicinity, is reported to have sold it to American parties for $15,000, lu per cent. cash. j!M *s5P* v/'C- "" .-V\ \-\. **j~ ^"....'y^%>'^-S' CHAPTER IV. If Sir Rudolph did not like his wife, ���������amy did he not "eaye her ? If sho had A Serious Mishap. Two weeks ago three young men left New Denver on a prospecting tour in the neighborhood of the glacier across the lake. Monday one of them came to t������wn and reported thai; one of his companions, Harry Hewer, who, prior to the closing of the Grand Central, ���������was employed ns busman for the hotel, had on Sunday, the 13th, cut his leg with an axe and wis in a critical condition as mortification had set iii. At once a party of six men started to bring the unlortunate lad out of the mountains. Tuesday evening a signal fire was seen across 'the lake, and two bo its were sent across. Tlie fire was started by one of the party who had come nut. of tho mountain in advance of t-fflwothers, who were yet lost in the tlnckct. The launch Denver was sent over to be on hand when the party should appea". ' The trip down the steep mountain sido in the dense thicket in the dark of night.' with the injured man on a stretcher, was a very slow one, as a trail had to be cut most of the way, and it was not until three o'clock Wednesday morning that the lalce shurj was reached. ���������- Tho party had had nothing to eat since 10 o'clock Tuesdiiy in urn ing and they were famished ' Tho boat soon had the rescuers and- rescued on tlie Denver side. Hewer was taken to the hospital and hi& injured limb di\ssed. It was found to bo'hot as serious as reported*; a small cut at the ankle badly inflamed. Howcv r, the insignilie.inee of tho injury does not detract any from the brave effort of the lvsjuing p n-ty. ���������Ledge. ��������� FIVE MEM KILLED. A Mud Slide on Does the C. Fatal P. R.

And she fell senseless' with her white, miserably face upon the ground. I. raised her, laid her upon the couch, and -went to the window. The moon she no on the budding trees and on the mere. I saw. in a moment that the sound was caused by the tapping of a small spray of ivy against the window-glass. Having found this out, I wont back to rouse and reassure her. She lay just where I had placed her, her blue eyes open and full of inexplicable terror. "Have you sent it away '!" she ask- -<1, In a horarse whisper. "There is nothing to send away, Lady Culmore," I replied. "Nothing !" she cried. "Aro you quite sure ? Nothing at all ?" "No. "What could tliere be outside your window ?.", I ffegan to wonder If her brain was afiocted. It was tho only possible explanation of her conduct. The- wind had been silent for some lew minutes. Then it rose again���������the same faint sobbing round tho window, a sound as natural as any could be, out evidently fun 0f speraatural dread to her. She sprang to her feet and held up her hand again. "Listen!" she cried. "It is nothing, Lady Culmore," I said, speaking firmly,. for I thought that perhaps this was but a severe hysterical attack. "It is nothing, Lady Culmore," i repeated. "Do you understand? It Is ������()y*t}le wailing of the wind." -Ah, no!" she said. "That Is what t sounds like to you. Do you know ���������vnat ^ is in reality? It is tlie crying oi a little child, quite a little child, standing there. Hark! Do you not hear it now?" There was certainly some faint resemblance to the cry of a child, the ���������vail of an infant in great pain. I should never have thought of it but tor ��������� her. "Lady Culmore," I said, "you must listen to reason, you must bo calm. ���������*��������� his is foolish, hysterical, nervous nonsense! Come with me to the window. Look and listen for yourself." She wrung her hands. "I dare not!" she cried. ' "You must," 1 said. "It is the only way m which you can be convinced. Come." i I took the white hands in mine and compelled her to .cross the room. I arew aside the blinds and hangings, opened the window, and made her look "Y������u see there is nothing," I said. Look at the moon, the water and the trees." She turned away with a deathly shudder. "I must have dreamt it then," she said. "What did you dream?" I, asked I dreamed that I heard some one tapping at the window, and I awoke In a great fright. Then 1 heard the wailing oi a child, a pitiful tiny voice sobbing with the faintest ^reath, and the sound came from the window. I went there and rew aside the curtains aa you have done now, and I saw���������oh, UUU Heaven would darken my eyes for cveimore!-I saw a tiny child stand- -���������18 ihere, dressed in a little white riv-l'iT' I* a,"d he was raPPins with a iccwe little hand on the window-pane, i* or one moment the baby eyes flashed into mine, and I knew that if he came in _! should fall down dead."

"What was it that .made the beautiful face so 'terrible to' see ? "You need not be frightened, Lady Culmore," I said. "The wind is alivays rough in March. You are afraid- of it. I think it beautiful." "It is not the wind that I hear in my room," she whispered. "Oh, come!" Without another word ,I took the taper from her hand and'went with her. When we reached' the room where Lady Culmore slept, I' found that all the lamps were burning. She laid her hand upon my arm. "I want you to listen," she said, in a_low, h6arsg_vi-h i ?p<--r, - --"Listen !" "As she stood before ,me, with a strained, despairing expression on her face, wild terror in her eyes and her hand uplifted, I might have been forgiven: some little emotion of fear. The scene was weird enough. "Listen !" she repeated. And then I heard the soft, sad sob of the wind at the window dying away Into the faintest possible moan. "What is that ?" she asked me, virile a strong shudder shook her frame. "Liat;n again, and tell me, ,foi. Heaven's sake, what. is that ���������?'" The dying wail of the wind was foi? lowed by a soft tap against the window-glass, so soft, so indistinct, that I could hardly hear; it. The sound'came again and again, until at last the terrified woman flung herself upon her knees with a cry of anguish that I shall never forget���������a perfect scream of terror. It rings in my ears even now as I write. "I know what it is !" she cried. "You must not let it in ! Keep the window April, ���������with its soft showers, its odor of sweet violets and growing buds, its sweet daffodils and pale primroses, was passing quickly, but still there wascno change at Ullamere. It was nearly ,tour months since I came, and there was the same gloom,; the same constraint, the same wretchedness in Sir Rudolph's home! but by this time I had lost all desire to leave the place. , All my affection and Interest, all my thoughts, were centered In the baronet aiid his wife. , There was nothing very mysterious about Sir Rudolph, except the way in which he lived. The whole mystery seemed to cling to,Lady Culmore. After that night when the winds of March blew so terribly, I had a lingering suspicion that her mind was unhinged��������� had lost its balance. And ' yet, even if it were so, that was no solution to the mystery of Sir Rudolph's conduct. A man who loved his wife would but study her the more for any misfortune of that kind. I ��������� remember another Incident. This aappened in the caimj early, gray morning light. A.gair*. I heard footsteps in the corridor, and again the handle of . my door was turned.

"Come with me;" and, as a matter of course, I went; - She carefully closed the door of her room',' plaqed the wax taper on the table, and turned to me. The distress In her white face, was terrible to see. "Now," she cried���������"now tell me what you hear!" She seemed to breathe with difficulty; great gasps came from her lips. "Quickly," she said���������"tell me auickly! what do you hear?" "Nothing;" I replied. "There is not, a sound; even the wind is still." She struck.her hands together with a passionate cry. ���������'You must hear it! You say 'No' to ,calm me. I shall not be frightened If you hear it; but if it comes only to me, oh heaven! what shall I do?" 'She hid her face in her hands, and trembled- so violently that I became alarmed. /'Tell me. what you hear, Lady Cul- nioro," I requested.' "The cry of a child. Can. you not hear it? It has been wai'ing' round my pillow all night long, until it has Sriven me mad," she said. "I am mad! Oh, Miss Forster, look for it! I am sure it is here!

Buying stock in this Company with its six full claims at 10 cents, is like buying in moat other companies, which have only one claim, at a little better than one cent and a half. (2) The convenience ol situation and the excellent facilities for mining and transportation. (3) The fact that the promoters have not bet*n dependent upon the sale of Treasury Stock to begin development work, but have, before offering stock for sale, performed sufficient work to demonstrate that they have every prospect of getting a shipping mine.

The total collections for the Jubilee were $C0G..'5O. Ardery and Brewster have their new store opened and for business. Mr. Morrison is going to run his new premises as-a store and hotel. Annance and Williams have now their new hotel, the Filbert, opened in excellent form. J. Robinson has opened a lusty cigar and tocaoco store in an apartment of the Filbert building. The gate receipts of the b ise lull match on Jubilee day ���"���.mounted to *]03.50. They left a deficit of a small sum. Jubilee Day has left a surplus of about *100, which wc understand is to ���-lturned over to the fire brig <de provided they drill regularly. Mr. Winter of Co ly, has very guu- erou-tly decided to get up a benefit bull for Mr. and Mrs. Levi on the evening of June 29th. Tickets $1.00 eaeh. The Presbyterians are now talking of :i new church and W. J. Williams; W. Dc R. Rose, A. Crawford, W. \Y'. Fallows.- J. Brown and T. Brown arc ti committee to select a site. Rev. A- M- Sanfori will preach tomorrow in Spencer's hall at 11a.m. and in Crawford's ball at 7.30 p. m. Also at Cody in the afternoon at 3.30. There were a greal many strong men nround town on Wednesday last, and some have not left even yet. There were many who could lick Paddy Kano and some who could even thrash his larger brother hurricane. As a result of the interruption to the mail service, caused by the washouts on the C. P.P., a heavy budget of 17 bags of mail reached Sandon post office on Saturday, which took the clerk 24 hours to assort. Suspicion is abroad that there was a "nigger on the fence" in connection with the recent sale of the Orpin-n Boy at Vancouver. It is bad enough to wrong any boy, but when it comes to cheating an ���'orphan" the offence is ' still worse. A man named Murray 'vas considerably injured near Cody the other day while in the bush cutting timber. It appears a log rolled on him inilicting some injury to the calf of his leg, wIugIi fortunately was not of a s"rious characier. As with tho races on Jubilee Day. so with the drilling contest. Th-j Reco team, Corkish and Klein, have challenged the winners, Murphy and Law- ler, of the Rambler, for another contest on the 17th of July. 5250 a side has been put up. A vigorous effort of citizens should push the movement for a wagon road to New Denver via Three Forks. It is said 53,000 is subscribed i'i New Denver The construction of such a road would greatly improve our local business. The probable cost is ��10,000 and the government will bear half fhe burden. It is unnecessary to say the following is not from the Paystreak���it is from the Revelstoke Herald :���"A new addition on our exchange lisi is ths Mining Review published at Stndon, a large weekly sheet, owned by Chas. Cliffe, a Bran Ion newspaper man, and formerly editor of the Brandon Mail. The Review is a creditable looking journal and will no doubt fill the bill." The Can.idian public arc in for a genunlne surprise. A Judilde portrait of Queen Victoria is coming out that puts them all in the schade, and a beautifully struck Jubilee Medal of Canadian design is making those who have seen it ask ''What's the matter with Canilcla ?" Both the Jubilee por- of Her Majesty and the Medal are being issued by the Montreal Star, a pretty good guarantee that they will be.well up,to the mark and over it. The proprietors of'the Revelstoke Herald had this to say of a book they are publishing :���"Arrangemr nts are being made for extensive distribution - and sale of the Herald's Diamond Jubilee Souvenir book, descriptive of the mining resources of North Kootenay, in London and throughout the United Kingdom. The book tvill be the grandest advertisement to the outside world that any .district in the province has yet produced. Revelstoke is going to have electric lighls. It was the mill hands who did the royal gunning on Jubilee morning,and they did it cffeetuallv. The Rev. T. Menzies will preach m th'? school house in the morning (tomorrow) and in Spencer's hall in tlie evening. The Oddfellows, of Sandon, a week from Sunday evening, will parade to service in Spencer's hall,- where a suitable sermon will be preached by the Rev. A. Sanford. Mr. Lovatt in addition to carrying shingles al his mill is shortly to.re- ceive ti large consignment of sash, doors etc.���in fact all builders' supplies to meet all demands in the building "lino. An inquest is to be held at Revelstoke on the remains of C. Berger, a miner who was killed at Illicilliwaet last fall by an explosion of dynamite. It is only now pieces of the body are being collected to form a subject for the jury. MIXING RECORDS. PERSONAL MENTION. Judge Wilson, manager of the Lake View, Wash., roller mills, is in town.

Lot Willis' sorrel horse of, Bear Lake, was pitted against Black's grey, and won after a good tussle. Next came a match best 2 in 3 between the sorrel and Fletcher's when the sorrel, ag.i in won, taking two heats and $25 we believe. It is said a few hundred. dollars changed hands over (hese matches. Post Master Atherton is erecting a stene and brick warehouse at the rear of his premises, that when finished will be lire proof and will to some ex-! tent compensate, for the difficulty in getting proper insurance at reasonable rates in Sandon. When this is completed he will double the capacity of the present post of lice, and if' hy that, time we can only get a daily mail and more help in the office most of the grounds for present complaints will have been removed. Tho Value of Salt. �� Common salt ground to a fine powder will remove the stain of hard-boiled cssa from silver spoons quicker than anything- else. Coarse salt, however, will scratch them. A little salt will remove Hie stain of tea from cups or of \ inejrar from table linen. &:-,'*. and water will clean willow or rr.lta.n furniture and wil keep matting from turning yellow, as it will if wiped olf with clear water. After sweeping a carpet which is somewhat fade-d, scatter coarse, damp table salt over it, und brush -it "vigorously. A fresh supply of dust may be extracted from the carpet in this way and the faded coiars will be perceptibly brightened. A handful of salt, aided to a tu.bfu-1 of water; in which colored cambric and other cottons are soaked before they are washed, will prevent the colors running. Rinse the goods in salted water and dry them as rapidly'as possible. Do not use too much salt, .however, .ia it hardens the water and prevents the dirt coming out as well as the color.��� New York Tribune. .St Charles and Isabella Queen���noiir Ivan- hoc mine.
