VOL. 3-NO. 39. - SANDON, B. C, SATURDAY, MARCH 10, 1900. FIVE CENTS. ,imo w PLfiii: With a Few Remarks aud Criticisms by trie Editor, The following platform has been drawn up .by tlie Slocan City Miners' Union.'and endorsed by thoir members Inst Wednesday evening. It will be submitted for the approval of every miners' union and labor organization in British Columbia within the next few weeks: 1st. Wc demand of-the Provincial Legislature thc enforcement of' the Eight-Hour Law, and its application to all branches of manual labor. 2nd. Legal recognition by incorporation of Labor Unions and the extention to them of the same rights enjoyed by other corporate bodies. 3rd. To provide for adjustment of wage disputes by arbitration on plana similar to that now in force in New Zealand. 4th. To provide for settlement of public questions by direct vote under tiie initiative and Referendum. 5th. Government ownership ,of all Railway, Telegraph and Telephone lines to be constructed, and tlie acquiring of those already in use as soon as practical; and to prevent extortion as far as possible by the control \"of till Railway, Telegraph and Telephone lines for public use and to fix a reasonable maximum rate which they may charge for service. 6th. An act to prevent employment of Chinese in any mines, factories, or public works within the Province. 7th. , An act to provide proper safeguards to life and health, and. to provide mi efficient mine inspection system to procure these rcaults., 8th. An act to establish County or Local government throughout the Province ; all officers of such, both judicial and executive, to be elected by thc popular vote of their respective localities. Thralldornis that feature of legislation that deprives men of their libertj of action. To that extent .the miners of the province are in thralldom, and the unions appear to desire its continuance. We have long since held that with liberty of choice all classes of employes shsuld have thc benefits of all legislation shortening thc hours of labor. How the present law would serve masons, carpentors,etc.,who work but part of the year is another ques tion? For instance, shortening hours of labor means lessening days' wages. How, then, will lessening the days' wages ot those who have employment but a part of the year suit them ?\" This is a problem to solve. Article 2 is impracticable as matters stand in British Columbia to-day. If all labor unions, operating in the province, were wholly British Columbian with their,nowers and jurisdiction defined in their charters, there would be much to recommend the.demand ; but certainly unions managed and controlled by foreign corporations ennnot hope for thc recognition they desire. The demand is in conflict with all constitutional usages. Art. 3. When means are discovered to compel labor, as well us capital to abide by the decisions of\" arbitrations law would be workable, but hot until then. As long as laborers are at, liberty; to .put their' hats on and walk away from thc consequences of an' award, while capital has to stand and abide by them, arbitration boards will be ineffectual. Art's 4 and 5 are commendable when the proper legal machinery is there to rightly enforce thc consequences. Art's G and 7 are decidedly in the public interest and ought to be crystallized into legislation as soon as possible. <��������� r- Art>S has been advocated by The Review for tho last two years. In the case of officials, however, where a certain educational qualification, is necessary���������all candidates should be compelled to pass an examination -before submitting their names to popular vote. THE RETURN MATCH. In ���������Which the Sandon Juniors'Turn the Tables on the Kaslo Seniors. The return match between the Kaslo senior and tho Sandon junior hockey teams was played on the ice here on Saturday evening. On account of thc soft weather the ice was out of condition, but was, of course, as fair for one as the other. Tlie visitors re.iohed here by.speoial train about 0 o'clock, accompanied by a large number of Kaslo sports to see the second success of what the Kootennian culled \"Koslo's champions.\" The visitors \\ver Forwards J. J. McKinnon Cody . j [ \\V. Chile C. Scale umpired for Sandon and H. Blackburn for Kaslo,.while D.O. Black- Wood, Nslson, acted as .referee. ' There is a dispute as whether or not Sandon made one of the goals allowed by the umpire, in any event Kaslo had a big \"0.\" The 3 scoreil by Sandon were made by McKinnon, Hood and W. Cliffe. The beauty of it all is that both matches wers- played in the best of good nature. In fact when these matches degenerate into squabbles they are no longer sport or recreation. After the match all repaired to the Balmoral dining rooms, where an excellent supper, was laid. After the cravings of the inner man were appeased toasting, in true banquet style, was the order, with^ M. L. Grimmett and C. W. McAnn (Kaslo) in tho respective chairs. After thc toast to the Queen tliere followed a feast of song and flow of soul took up a couple of hours more of the night. At a late hour biiAdon saw the vibilOi.������'Oj'\", all feeling they had had a most enjoyable evening. Sheppard resided at Cody with his wife, who remains to' mourn his sudden and altogether unloosed for demise. Thc miners' union sent up some contrivances to bring the bodies down also looking after tho funeral obsequies. Conventions'. Police Court. We are likely to have conventions galore in a few weeks. If Joe Martin succeeds in forming a cabinet he will hold a convention in tho Slocui. The Semlin-Cotton party are likely to hold one. The Conservatives are most sure to hold one- anc; we are advised that there will be another to bring out a man in support of the business interests of thc country, one prepared to repeal, or rather modify, thc eight-hour law. As it is an absolute certainty the' mines of^tlie Kootenay will not generally open to employ any considerable number of minors while the law stands as it is, all sensible miners must see that a candidate committed to such a policy as will open up the mines of the country in all their strength should be the one for them to support. Of caursc if the Conservative convention brought out such a candidate, who even might favor \"the principle of the eight-hour law\" and still'snpport tho alterations wo indicate, lie is the one Thc Review would prefer to support; but if it does not do that The Review must support some respectable man committed to such policy.

The Molly Gibson promises to be one of the largest mines in the country. Tliere are now 35 men at work on the property, and a valuable seam of ore. is being followed. The Hartnoy, the Marion, the Cap- ella, thcMollic Hughes and the Lost Tiger situated around New Denver promise to become valuable properties under development. The Bosun, at.New Denver, has on a force of 4S men, which are all, Mr. Sandiford says, the property has room for at present. They are now running on a great body of ore. Messrs. Stace and Brockman, English capitalists, large holders in the Ajax fraction, have had their eyes on the Monitor, .near Three Forks, and bought it List week at ������125,000 from Mr. Petty. The mine, some years ago was quite n shipper yielding the large- est gold values of any mine in these parts._ This is the only transfer of any magnitude that has taken place in these parts for some time. The Joker group, on the south fork of Kaslo creek, has a 50-foot shaft, 300 feet of drifts with an upraise of 120 feet to the surface. The paystrcak runs from 18 inches wide to the full, width of the tunnel. The vein is 30 feet wide with wcll-deiined walls, and in parts two valuable paystreaks are found. Assays run 9 oz. silver and ���������flOO in gold.\" Over 1000 feet of tunneling have been driven. Appreciate the Kindness.

They claimed it was payment of money he borrowed to invest in a mine which they owned at Nelson.-, McCaffrey contended he had , borrowed no money from them, and that they had already got $350 out of him in payment lor a property they never owned, and then threatened this suit, or rather non-prosecution if he would pay them S250 more. Evidence was adduced to convince the court that it was a case of \"pull,\" and it was dismissed with costs on the prosecution.

Joe Martin says he will make such modifications in the mining laws as will alloy all hostility between miners and owners.. If that is possible, which we very much doubt, unless' all penalty obligations are removed, why did he not see that such a law, instead of the present one, was passed in the first place? We are quite sure it''would have been better, to have avoided the trouble between tlie owners and the men in the first place than to endeavor to cure it now with a handful! of chaff on the eve of provincial elections.

Three victims have been caught in its deadly grasp, in the memory of residents, and now follow two more. Where tho miners' unions and those prints, that have been declaring that the eight-hour law must stand as it is, will find themselves at a general election is a problem for them to pick their teeth with. Joe Martin says he will pass such legislation as will reconcile both owners and miners���������a strange statement for a man who is responsible for the present law and its disastrous consequences. We are also in a position to prove, from documents in our possession, and which we are at liberty to show to any one, that Semlih, Cotton & Co. were willing to form a coalition with Turrierr&'Co., about the last days of the session of the House just closed, and .one plank in the joint platform was the repeal of the eight-hour law or to so emasculate it as to destroy its identity. Then with no party before the country in favor of the eight-hour law, as it stands, or rather with all parties ready to repeal or amend it, we ask the question again, where will the miners unions stand in the contest? JohnHouston asks, \"How many of the mine owners and managers are able to control a vwte other than their own ?\" A few weeks ago, in his eyes, they were all aliens and without votes themselves, but even Houston can still learn something. He still clings to the belief, however, that votes are of morn importance, as they doubtless are to self seekers like himself, thanthe material interests of the country.

Ten Letter Words and Pbraaea Cn������- , aen as Secret Signs. ��������� Among the old time features which are disappearing from the city stores because of the modern methods is the cabalistic cost mark which the merchant once thought as Indispensable as the counter over which he sold his wares. The man who started a business for himself devoted many hours before he made his first display of wares to \"making up\" a'cost mark. This had to be unlike any other mark and was in some instances composed of ten hieroglyphics, often transposed figures and more often of a word or,two, the letters of which could be used to express figures. A large wholesale concern in New York used the mark \"God save us\" and made up tho tenth figure with a cross. -{Through this business house the pious cost murk became known all over tlie country. Clerlio from the establishment entered nml took the cost murk with them, and within a few years it wits in use in nearly every state in the Union. Another cost mark which found ninny admirers was \"Make profit,\" nnd this was only a trifle more popular, than \"Quick trade.\" \"Johnny Miles\" served as a sign as well as u cost mark for one concern, nnd one sentimental Irishman who opened n linen store in New York in thc days when Niblo's Garden was \"away up town\" chose as his cost mark \"My Bridget O.\" When the campaign of 1860 was at ltd height, an ardent Republican in Boston in whose store ii cost mark was in use that hud been invented by his grandfather marked nil his goods over in order to use the 'mark, \"Abe must win,\" nnd this mark remained In use for years after \"Abe\" had won the ficht ngainst Douglas, Breckinridge and Bell, who were all candidates against Lincoln. About that time the cost mark \"Hit Douglas\" was Invented, and that and \"Republican\" are still in use in places where plain figures have not superseded the puzzle marks. A large dry Roods house which had tha patronage of hundreds of pack, basket and wagon peddlers used an a cost mark ! the words. \"Revoch Gilt,\" n Yiddish phrase, which means \"Profit tells,\" and the translation was nlso used by the same concern. \"These marks were useful,\" said ths manager of one of the large New York dry goods stores, \"when houses had an 'asking' and a 'taking' price. In those days the man behind the counter had to know what the goods cost to put on the shelf so that he could regulate himself, accordingly. An offer to 'split tho difference' when one price was asked an an TWENTY-SEVEN CENTS A DAY. llaar Men Blannce to Get ThelV Meals on That Amount. t \"Oh, yes, there are plenty 0/ fellows in this city who live well on ������7 cenis a day,\" said a dining room owner to a reporter. The lunch man _has been in the business for years and knows what he is saying. \"I'll tell you how they do it. They get up in the morning and with 6 cents go to a 3 cent lunch room. There they procure a cup of coffee and a sandwich, each costing 3'cents, or something of that sort This is sullicieut for them. \"At lunch time they visit the 3 cent place ngniu nnd with a piece of pie and a glass of milk are contented until dinner. That is a total of 12 cents. At dinner they go to the regular lunch or dining rooms and eat themselves happy on 15 cents. At a number of regulur dininjr rooms in the city a dinner can be bought for 15 cents and will he a good one too. It will consist of soup and bread, ouo j ment and one entree, two vegetables, a piec* of pie or other dessert and a cup of tea or coffee. ��������� \"But where these sharpers do the lunch room proprietors is in another way..They have become so expert at the business that they know when each dining room is to have a certain dish Tor dinner, und therefore they have their pick o.������.meats and other things. 1 remember that 1 Used to serve chicken on u certain day.

Warner's idea of America. Although Waguor never was In this country, the possibility of his coming orer here is referred to often in his published correspondence. In fact, he made America a stand and deliver argument with his friends, seventh times threatening to forever put aside his \"Ring of the Nibelling\" and to cross the ocean to earn a competency unless they contributed to his support. That Wagner regarded America as a gold mine well worth exploitation by foreign artists appears from a letter which In 1S-1S he wrote (o Franz Loebmann, music director at Riga, whose brother wanted financial assistance to go to America with an orchestra. Wagner advised Loebmnnn to assist his brother. He instances the case of a German musician who went to America as a poor man nnd in a very short time was in receipt of an excellent income, adding that n whole orchestra would certainly be still more lucky, for \"in n country where villages are constantly growing iuto cities in five yenrs there enn be no lack of opportunities for the settlement of whole bands of musicians.\" Could 11nythlng.be more dellciously naive than this s.ast quotation?���������Gustave Kobbe In American Monthly Review of Reviews.

But Mauhesv was looking at the carpet. Perhaps that was why ho had strength to sny \"No\" again, and in such a way that Miss Idlewild knew that all her pretty pleading was wast, ed.

He was very kind to her, but he did not call her Evo any more, and there was n sort of coldness and. apathy in his manner, to her which, try as she would, she could not overcome. Certainly she tried to make amends to him in a thousand ways. Indeed, her manner to him was so much gentler that he began to think that sho bad guessed his secret���������that she, pitied him. Matthew lived only about half a block .from- the Joys, and Evelyn was in the habit of running in and out of hia house as if it: were her own. She was a very special pet of Miss Abby, Matthew's maiden sister, who kept house fox him, and who knew nothing about the girl's latest impertinence to her brother.

He did not say \"Dome in,\" but got up, with .some irritation, and opened the door.

Appnrently she was heir old self this evening. \"Perhaps you bad better go into Ihe sitting rooim,\" .cnld��������� Matthew, in' n tone which, he, meant to he. at once po'ito and crushing.

It is now in'order for the gulchite, to say whether or not the mine owners desire any change in the eight-hour law.' If he finds they do, Mr. Wilson's acknowledgement is that he is prepared to give full consideration to their expressed wishes���������that in short he will listen to the owners as well as the miners, weigh the representations of both fully, and then act in the best interests of the country, even if the eight-hour law goes to smithereens. This is what the public will fully understand from Mr. Wilson's letters. Tho difference between Mr. Wilson and the Semlin government is this : He will look after the interests of the country; they looked after the votes. this is leading to suspension of operations on every hand. Tho output of last, year was much less than it ought to have been, and prospects for this year are of the gloomiest forecast. All through the south country towns made a start last your, promising much, that are now in 'the bed of despair, and everywhere there are hundreds of men out of employment. Business houses made a commencement last year all through ' that country that now see themselves confronted with the most serious of consequences, and all for what, to meet a popular demand ? No, but to make a few votes for a few ambitious politicians. Many of the business men of tho Slocan lost money last year, and all of them lost a year's time. All in tho south country expect to go through tlie ordeal the coming year, and many will, no doubt,' bo overtaken by more seriou*: results. It is an absolute certainty that the coming year will not see the end of il. all���������as long as the law stands as it is at present ever recurring troubles are sure to be the order of thc day. Even it'it was known to the financial world that the law was now a fixture, and that no more changes would occur to thwart their projects, investments will be fewer and capital more cautious. It is now known to everyone with money to invest, that on account of the increased cost of operation��������� nearly 20 per cent.���������the percentage of young properties likely to pay under development is largely reduced, therefore, risky investments will be out of tho question, and safer ones reduced to a fraction of what they otherwise would be. Most of the miners of these parts have lost a year's work and with but slender chances for many of them in the future. Wc again ask the question, has the eight-hour law paid even the people for whose benefit it was specially passed ? HAS IT PAID? It is now very opportune for provincial journals,and men having the education of the popular wish in their hands, to take a retrospective view of the operations of the eight-hour law, and ask themselves the bald question : Has it paid ? A little over a year ago the ������p]jortunities of the country presented many tempting features to foreign capitalists, so much so that many large and important deals, with a consequent inflow of capital, were on the tapis. Pew of the deals have gone through, the promised capital has been turned away, and mining is to a large extent practically dead. Comparisons of old -workings with the new show that operations cost now in the neighborhood of 20 per cent, more than they did before tke eight-hour law cameinto force, and A PRINT ON THE RAMPAGE. Our omnicient neighbor has made an important discovery. He has found that Charles Wilson, the named leader of the Liberal-Conservative party, pro- vincially, endorses thc Liberal Conservative party's opinion of the eight- hour law, that is \"its principle.\" lie also learns that Mr. Wilson says ''he thinks\" he knows what the Paystreak means, which is more than thc print itself knows, and would favor the retention of thc law as it stands, \"unless the parties chiefly interested desire some change or modification.\" A wonderful discovery this for the 20th oe'nt- Although \"Fighting Joe,\" as usual the great I am of his faction, could thc other day announce the policy of his government, before he had a colleague selectsd, the grounds on which he will appeal are the subject of much curiosity. It must be said of him that he is a man of fair, average ability, possessing dogged persistence, the vindic- tiveness of a wasp, and that is all. He is characterless and without a record that, to even him, can be of any service. From the fact that he was thc creator of most of Semlin's legislation oflS99, his record must be a weight not only to himself but to Semlin's candidates as well. Last session, when Sir Wilfred Laurier was at Washington endeavoring to secure an adjustment of several differences between Canada and tho United Stntes, Joseph put through that Alien Exclusion Bill to keep Americans out of the Atlin country for tbc sole purpose of embarrassing the Federal premier and making his mission come to naught for a punishment for excluding him (Martin) from the Federal cabinet when formed in 1S96. 'At the session just closed he was a party to repealing that very enactment, under advice-from the minister of justice. Its passage in the first place got a degree of satisfaction for Joeseph, although it cost the country thc loss of much capital and development. Had the session just closed continued- to any length it is more than likely that half the acts of last session, which, when passed, were the glory of Martin and his then colleagues, would be repealed and a show of amendments and other subterfuges substituted in their stead. As we can see things Joseph has not even a bass- wood leg to stand on, but we must see more of his hand before we can say much about it. Figure it for yourself.

In referring to tho eight-hour law the Silvertonian says : \"Mr. Green has lost money and friends by^doing his duty to his constituents.\" Let us look at this. Mr. Green may have lost money, but we don't think he has lost friends on personal grounds, though he has lost political cast; but it is debatable whether or not in doing \"his duty to his constituents.\" In the first place, Mr. Green, in voting against the Bill in committee, felt that it was his duty to his constituents to oppose the eight- hour law. In his letter to the government in March last, he said he never was asked by his.constituenta to give such a law, and in that letter he ac- knowleaged unquestionable grounds for voting against it in committee. In a later letter to tho government lie asked them not to enforce the act as its enforcement would do great injury to the country. If in these acknowledgements he was doing his dtity to his constituents, liow could -he have been doing itin voting for it in the third reading ? This is what we would like to see tbc Silvertonian . explain. To be more.particular, if it was in the interest of his constituents the Bill should have been thrown out in committee, if, again, he was doing his duty in asking for the non-enforcement of the act after it was passed, how could it, having the same constituents, be serviceable in voting for the Bill on the third reading ? ^Would it not have been more consistent and in line with public service to either have supported or opposed! the Bill throughout ?

The sixth division, un/Ier General Kelly-Kenny, is posted on the highlands and holds nil the kopjes for a distance of five miles south of tho ��������� Modder. The seventh division, under General Tucker, is in the centre, immediately south of'the river, and General Colvillc with the ninth'division is on the ��������� north bank. The cavalry brigade, under General French, is posted on the left front and the mounted infantry, under Colonel Rid- Jey-Martyn, on tho right front. ,- \"The country round consists of wide, . grassy plains broken only by ridges and isolated kopjes.\" London, March 6.���������A body of the ��������� enemy bus lakpn up a position en a flat-iopped kopje to the north of the river, five miles beyond General French, who today took out horse artillery and shelled them. Another force, four thousand strong, holds an isolated group of kopjes south of the Modder and in Iront of thc British mounted infantry. Tlie position is surrounded on nil sides by level plains, over which the,Boers must make their | way in order to reach the river. As a consequence their situation appears precarious in tlie extreme. 1 The veldt is now in beautiful condition. Water is., plentiful, supplies being obtainable not only from the river but also from numerous clear springs. Tho health and spirit of the troops are excellent. The British cavalry and mounted infantry have been rcconnoitcring the enemy's position. There has been' little lighting. IS NOW flEGARDED AS AN EXACT SCIENCE.

Sickness Banished���������Health Restored Gentlemen,���������Dr. Ward's Blood and Nerve Pills have done my sister so much good that in grateful appreciation I told Mr. Tuliy, the druggist, I would gladly give a .testimonial unsolicited, as to their merits. ' My ������ister, 15 years of age, caughl a violent cold���������since then she has been in very poor health, lost all colour was anemic, her blood had no vitality, and she had no physical strength, she became extremely nervous, so inucht so thai she could not stand any exertion or excitement, and it was impossible for hor to got restful sleep, she \"lost bar appetite, hor heart became very weak, palpitating so violently that she could hardly breathe at the slightest exertion. When she commenced taking Dr. Ward's Blood and Nervo Pills two months ago she was in a state of complete physical and nervous prostration. Her blood was scanty with no more strength than water. Since taking Dr. Ward's Blood and Nerve Pills she has been rapidly mending, her appetite has returned, she sleeps well her nerves are stronger, and her heart gained strength so that it is able lo fulfill its functions. Prior to taking Dr. Ward's Pills she had taken many medicines without any special benefit. Dr. Ward's Blood and Nerve Pills are certainly the only medicine that has done any good. Before taking them she was getting I weaker, 1 er heart and nerves losing strength daily. Since she had began taking them she has daily and continuously gained health and strength. , CLARA ELLIOTT, j |, | ,' | 30 College street. I t t , | i Peterborough, Ont, ������. TRANSVAAL IN PARIS.

In any event young Mclnnes is not likely to join until he sees Martin has some strength. It now looks as if the banks were going to take a hand in this eight-hour trouble. They know well that commercial interests cannot prosper with things as they are, and are likely to curtail or cut off advances and discounts until some arrangements are made for the resumption of business.

Another distressing accident occurred some time tins week, resulting in the loss ol life. A Mr. Boecher, brother of the conductor on thc K. &���������*>., was working alone on a property up the south fork ol Kaslo creek, when, by some means a mass of rock crashed down upon him. When found it was supposed the accident had occurred two or three days previously. Interment took place at Kaslo on Thursday. It is very hard to get the Nelson Tribune to understand that it is the commercial interests and the proper development ol the country for which sensible journalists should have the highest regard. Then what is going to best encourage these, the shutting up oi' the minus to give the miners an eight-hour day and no work, or the opening of them with'a longer day hl'1 the best wages in the world\"? That's the way business men should look at the situation. The Kootenaian must not have much to do when it heads an article on the late hockey match in Kaslo \"Kaslo the Champions.\" In. the first place, it knew trie match was not for the championship���������only n. lriendiy one���������as the riandons are but a junior club, with average age not more than 19 against probably 25 in thc Kaslo team. Surely the Kootenaian would not call that an equal contest. Jf, however, it is bound to. make Kaslo seniors and Sandon juniors competitors, let it include the match played here on Saturday night last, and we will be satisfied. We believe the Sandon boys are O. K., but they are not ready to compete against the world. ,. NOTICE.
