The mine owners met in the city hall Monday in response to the notice of meeting sent ont a few davs previous. All the leading mines.of theSlocan were j represented, the East Kootenay district on account of tlie short notice given could not Bend delegates in. time, while Nelson holding a large meeting the same evening detained a number ^ -��������� from that section. Mr. A. C. Garde, manager of. the Payne, opened the meeting. He explained that he had been advised by Messrs. RetaHack and Pratt, the delegates at Ottawa, to call the lead men together and take strong action against tire resolution passed recently by the Provincial Mining Association, which would do irrepairable harm to the lead mining industry of this province if not epeedily acted upon. It was on this account the meeting was called upon such short notice. Mr. Garde laid that this was the occasion of tliere being present and asked them to\"elect a chairman and proceed to business. It wae moved aiid seconded that A. C. Garde be appointed chairman and N. J. Cavanautfh secretary, the motion being carried the meeting opened. On rising the chairman stated that they were asking the government for a $15 per ton bonis on lead mined to go to the producer, but they were offset by , the '.resolution of the Mining Association. He himself, thought that body had overstepped tlie mark by being misinformed on the subject, and as they had resolutions prepared he would call on the secretary to read them and VV, S. Drewry to explain the different clauses. The resolutions were read and Mr. Drewry proceeded to explain. He said that in his opinion the Provincial Mining Association made a great mistake in taking the initiative on the bonus question on lead without /iret consulting the miners, and did not think it was due to any motive calculated to do harm, but exactly the reverse. Mr. Leslie Hill, the lead miners'representative on the executive board, was absent in Ontario when tlie association last met, and consequently-, were not consulted. The smokers were represented by Mr. J. J. Campbell of Nelson, and it waa evident the smelting interests were well looked after. The resolution passed asked that $0 a ton be given to the smelters and refineries and only .$4 a ton to :��������� present distress one iota,' the' smelter men would received nearly all. \"��������� Mr. Drewry continued, stating tlie bonus granted should apply to the , producer irrespective of where the'ore was smelted or refined. He pointed out that with the mines all working the Canadian smelters could not handled the output of the Slocan to eay nothing of the large lead,mines like the St.. Eugene, North Star and Sullivan in. East Kootenay. Therefore, the grant of the government should be given to the producer and let . genoral , bem-fit of the lead indnstiy in be it further 'Resolved, that k duty of ht least thirty per cent, should be placed on' that product, and be it f mi her Resolved, that these resolutions be telegraphed to Messrs.

Coming to the clause in regard to a duty of 30 per cent., on carroded lead, M.r. - Drewry explained that at first he could not see any reason for it, but it was brought to his notice that the Trail smelter is making preparations to corrode their surplus and consequently he was in favor of the duty. By doing so the producers would help the smelters, and they in turn would benefit the miners by purchasing their ores. Considerable diecussion followed after ��������� which the resolution, of which the following is a copy, was voted on and unanimously carried : (1) Whereas, ata meeting of the silver-lead miners' association held at Sandon, B. C, December 10th, 1002, resolutions were passed asking the Canadian government to place certain duties on lead ores, and leadproduete, and \\l) Whereas, the government has refused to grant the duties asked in said resolutions, but have intimated a willingness to grant an adequate bonus to the miners, on lead mined in Canada, and (3) Whereas, the executive committee of the Provincial MininS Association of British Columbia, without consulting the silver-lead miners' association have seen fit to pass resolutions asking that a stipulated bonus, graded from four dollars to ten dollars per ton be j of the Kootenaya were subjected. His line of argument bristled with points which, however, were of a private nature. He made a strong plea for unity and.organization among the silver-lead miners, and his stand was unanimously endorsed by all present. It is the intention of the mine owners to organize shortly. The plan laid down is broad, businesslike in every respect and practically means the salvation of the Plocan. A committee composed of W. S. Drewry, N. J. Cavanaugh and Geo. Alexander were appointed tointer- ! view the mining men, prepare a plan of campaign and report at a later date, A resolution was passed asking the Provincial Mining Association to rescind their late resolution and notify the Minister of Finance in that respect. The meeting then adjourned. The following is the resolution sent to the Provincial Mining Association: - Whereas, we are of the opinion that certain resolutions, regarding a bonus oh lead (passed by the executive committee of the Provincial Mining Association, at a meeting held in Victoria, on or about April 25th) were passed without a thorough knowledge or understanding of the subject in hand; and, Whereas, we do not deem it proper, in.view of the fact that our representative on said executive committee was not present, that the executive of the Provincial Mining Association should \"''fumuuci-..--;-���������..........,K HCDuunuuit tlliotlia paid to the lead miners, under differing I have taken the initiative in matters of conditions, and provisos, and (4) Whereas, the bonus suggested by the said executive committee is wholly inadequate, and their misguided action has given the government, and the general publica wrong impression ofthe real condition and needs of the lead mining industry, and such bonus, if granted, will not relieve the present depression, or lead to the re-oponing of the mines, and (5) Whereas, the smelting and refining capacity of ihe Canadian smelters is not sufficient to handle the normal output of the lead ' mines, working to full capacity, therefore be it Resolved, that the lead miners of east and west Kootenay districts of British Columbia- in convention assembled,do such vital importance. Therefore,-be it resolued, that the Provincial Mining Association be requested to withdraw their resolutions, regarding the amounts to be paid by the government as such bonus; and if not incompatable with their views, they endorse tho resolutions passed at this meeting,.forwarding by wire, to the Honorable Ministerof Finance, such endorsement. Be it further resolved, that a copy of the lesolutions passed at this meeting be sent to the secretary of tho Provincial Mining Association with the request that he take immediate action.

MR. KIRBY AND THE BONUS. Edmund B. Kirby, general manager of the War Eagle and Centre Star mines at Rossland, has been very blatant on the lead tariff agitation, and why many would like know. That gentleman lias little in common with the lead miner, knows next to nothing about their conditions, and why he should set himself up as an authority on the question, which does not affect him in tlie least, has caused many food for thought. Mr. Kirby in a recent interview, stated \"our brethren,\" the lead miners, were making a serious mistake in trying to secure lead duties, and he thinks the bonus would best serve the industry. Wonderful knowledge! What a . mixture of ignorance and stupidity ! The lead miners as a whole are unanimous in expression against a bonus, as no matter in what foim granted, the relief will be only temporary. The producers do not want to be benfitted at an expense to the taxpayers of the country, which is practically what a bonus means. The lead mining industry is able to take care of itself if given justice and tin- ia all that wasasked. No bonus or half-hearted measure will do. The miners should know what would remedy their distress better than others operating on an entirely different line. The lead producers, in ��������� convention assembled, unanimously declared themselves in favor of a protective tariff as the only possible condition to ensure a resumption of the now dormant industry. Their aim was to secure stability; to enable them to operate for an indefinite period, not by fits and starts; to further develop their properties, and under conditions that would secure them a margin of profit for the outlay of capital, to which as investers they are entitled. The only way apparent to them to ac- 1 compliah this was to petition the government to revise the tariff on lead and its products to secure the home market. This they did, but were not successful, despite the unanimous appeal on their behalf by the whole province, and now believing half a loaf is better than none the lead miners have accepted the inevitable for a time, will endeavor to secure an adequate bonus and against their own will, Mr. Kirby aaya he regards all tariffs to be relics of the dark ages. What logic! It is admitted all over today that the United Statea is the most progressive nation in the world, and what has caused that young country to occupy its high position in the commercial world in so short a time ? Nothing but its high, scientific and sliding tariff. Every industry in that land of progression is protected, ard well too, by ahigh tariff wall. The native industries are assured of the home markets at good prices, and consequently can afford to sell their surplus in foreign countries ata lower rate. And this is what Mr. Kirby calls the \"relics of the dark ages.\" It ia a pity that gentleman did not grace this mortal sphere at that period, and he would save a whole lot of the humbugging he is doing now. Those in a position to know have very little faith in the sincerity of Mr. Kirby'a oft repeated aiid vague expressions of sympathy with the lead miners, in tact there are many who read between the lines and can clearly see his hypocritical position behind the veil. In plain words Mr. Kirby wants the lead miners of the Slocan to ship their ores .to the Trail smelter to use as flux in smelting his low grade silicious ores at no expense to himself. The lead miner at present foots the bill'of smelter charges for the two, and with the Slocan output going across the border for treatment would greatly lessen the values of the properties of which- Mr. Kirby is the general manager. This is that gentleman's position, and it is little wonder he assumes the attitude of pretending to be friendly to the lead miners, when in reality ho knifed them in the late tariff campaign, and all for GRIP CONVALESCENCE There's nothing better than Scott's Emulsion after the grip. When the fever is gone the body is left weak and exhausted; the nervous system is completely run down and vitality is low. Two , things to do: give strength- to the whole body and new force to the nerves. Scott's Emulsion .will do it; contains just what the worn- out system needs. , Rich blood, healthy flesh, resistive force, more and better nourishment are what Scott's Emulsion supplies to the convalescent. \"We'll send you a sample free upon request. ��������� SCOTT & BOWNE. Toronto, Ont. mutter. This being the caee the executive of the association overstepped the mark. It is not believed the action taken was calculated to do the lead industry any harm, but lat k' of foresight misguided the executive to draw ud the resolution as \\\\&������ supposed, to benefit f 1 the miner, when in reality it was exactly the reverse. selfish motives, ln his interviews he left himself open at many points, but those alluded to are the most important. If he wishes the lead miners to believe he is sincere, he should come out in the open and show his hand, and he will find many in this section ready to meet him. In health just as does the city-man, and he fails commonly from the same cause, ������ stomach trouble.\" The farm is . a, wholesome place to live;\" the fanner's life i9 a healthy life; but no external advantages can overcome the effects of a diseased stomach. When the stomach and its allied organs of digestion and nutrition are diseased, the food eaten is imperfectly digested and assimilated, and the consequent loss of nurtition results in physical debility. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery cures diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition, a n d enables the per- fect digestion and assimilation of food. It builds up the body with sound flesh and solid muscle. ������I used ten bottles of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and several vials of his ' Pleasant Pellets' a year ago this spring, and have had uo trouble with Indigestion siuce,\" writes Mr. W. T. Thompson, of Townsend, Broadwater Co., Montana. \" Words fail to tell how thankful I am for the relief, as I had suffered so much nnd -it seemed that the doctors could do me no good. I got down in weight to one hundred and twenty-five pounds, and was not able to work at all. Now I weigh nearly- one hundred aud sixty and can do a day's work on the farm. I liave recommended your medi- ciue to Heveral, and shall always have a good word to say for Dr. Pierce aud his medicines.\" The sole motive for substitution is to permit the dealer to make the little more profit paid by the sale of less meritorious medicines. He gains; you lose, therefore accept no substitute for\" Golden Medical Discovery.\" The lead miners are incensed and justly so at theresolution passed by the Provincial Mining Association at Victoria two weeks ago. It is theopinion ot many that as the lead producers' advocate was absent, the resolution was drawn up on information furnished I y the representative of the smelting interest, present at the executive meeting. From the way.theresolution wasdrafted it certainly looks that way, the FmelteiB to get |6 per ton and the producers only $4. Trie lead miners have been holding back since the government announced its intention not to change the tariff,' an account of waiting information from their delegates at Ottawa. These gentlemen finding it was useless to expect relief from tlie tariff standpoint after the budget speech had been delivered, turned their edorts to secure the bounty promised, for the producers, and endeavored to persuade the government to grant a sum sufficient to ensure the resumption of the mines. With thiB end in view the delegates petitioned the Federal authorities to grant an adequate bonus of $15 per ton on lead in ore mined in Canada, to go to the producer. In this they were succeeding, when the resolution of the Provincial Mining Association reached the Minister of Finance and upset everything. To say it caused dismay among the lead miiierev is to put it mildly. Their indignation has b. en rightly expressed at the meet- ings held the past week; It is evident the mining association were the victims of, jobbery by the smelter interests. The lead men, the chief people interested, wore not consulted in bo important a From indications at the coast it is only a1 matter of a few weeks before the' legislature is dissolved and an appeal made to the country on party lines with Col. Prior leader of the Conservatives. Such being the case it is about time steps were taken to secure the beet men available. We want men who understand the conditions of the district, who can express themselves on the issues of the day ;��������� who will advance the interests of the country and not cater to clique, c ass or corporation. We want men who havo the courage to express their convictions; who when in the House we know wheie to find them; who will work for the welfare of all, be able to have in tiuenee with the assembly, and be a credit to the Silvery Slocan. We havo had incompetent representatives, who looked for nothing but their own material advancement, and it is time we had a change. In looking over the list of available candidates from the Conservative standpoint, the best men for the position are W. S. Drewry, of New Denver, and Wm. Hunter of Silverton. Either of these two gentlemen would fill the position with honor. We are not aware of the political ambition of Mr. Hunter, but wo know Mr. Drewry has been asked to run by members of the New Denver miner!)' union and lias given no definite reply. Mr. Drewry ia a man that commands the respect of all and has the confidence of the miners on account of his stiaightforviard manner of dealing witli tin in. He was their representative at the organization of the Provincial Mfning Association in Victoria some time ago, and frequently the men have asked him to take the initiative and represent thorn at public meetings and such like. As a speaker Mr. Drewry is forceful and to the point, as a debater he is keen and hard to beat. Wewould like to see him as a candidate and we are confident if he does so his chances of election are particularly bright.

SATURDAY, MAY 9, 1903. Mr. R. L. Borden, the leader 'of the Conservative party, in what is admitted by Liberals to have been one of the\" finest speeches ever delivered on the Canadian budget, has laid down a broad patriotic policy for the development of this country.- He calls upon his fellow countrymen to forego the mischievous ��������� doctrines of an east and a west.- -What Canada wants iB an all-Canadian policy with\" provision1 for- the country as a whole. The west needs transportation and protection as well as tlie east. This is only common justice, but it shews beneath the surface a strong desire to make a nation out of the Dominion. That is what Mr. Borden aimstoaccom- plish, and he has called, for a tariff which will meet the wishes of allclasses and bring them to adesire to see, not the development of any particular sec tion, but the growth of what will be truly national. He speaks for a policy, which, having regard for the interests of the motherland and the empire, Avill first conserve Ihe welfare of Canada. Mr. Borden has taken a comprehensive and statesmanlike view of our conditions, and has made it plain that he is not a leader for the east or the west, but a Canadian in the fullest sense of the word. Let us have less of the narrow guage politics of the gentlemen in whose hands the government' of the country now lies and substitute to it an era such as Mr= Borden proposes. a common footing. Canada, if she! would aspire to ever bepomini; a manufacturing country she must open up her unlimited mineral resources, and tlie only way to do bo is by a protective tariff. Times are prosperous in Eastern Canada and bo are strikes. Almost every industry has been hit and still there are a number of strikes on. The worst is that of the 'longshoremen at Montreal, which has almost crippled Atlantic commerce to that port, and the militia have been called out to keep order. The east is getting a taste of what.the west had to endure the past few years, and is beginning to suffer accordingly. c Your Clothes The Requisites of Mining. In drawing i&= comparison between Canada and the United States in relation to their trade expansion the average Canadian is forcibly Btruck witli the magnitude of the American export trade. It is so conspicuous that oft times its realization brings before our minde the great possibilities of our own country., Today the United States -ia the. largest exporting country in the world. Whv is thia? Simply because years ago the public men of that country realized the strong necessity for a high protective policy if they ever desired to see their republic become an important factor in the mercantile and political sphere of influence. By its inception they were sure of securing the home market of consumption, and with the over-production (which must follow with the great strides that country is makihg)wou)d be placed in foreign markets in competition with foreign countries.

The successful management of a mine requires the same business qualifications as are necessary to conduct a prosperous manufacturing enterprise or mercantile business. .Tlio field is a most attractive one. As a rule panics do not effect mining, except in the arbitrary destruction of money metal, as wae the case in silver. The tariff only slightly affects tlie steady, increasing profits of mining. Political parties may come and go, but science and improved machinery constantly reduces the cost of production, and mining goes on. High salaried salesmen are not needed, for the demand is practi- ca.ly unlimited and the product is at once marketable. With proper care and judgement in the placing of investments, nothing that is offered the public is more worthy the attention than properly managed, legitimate mining enterprises. J. fi.

The Antoineis now working in four feet of solid high grade ore in its lowest level. The Rambler mill will be -running about the 15th inst., as- there' is now sufficient water supply for power purposes. . The entrance examinations will be held on the 16th, 19th and 20th insts. at New Denver when Mr. Lovering will have five pupils try, Myrtle Karr, Willie ,Karr, Arthur Karr, Violet Jones and Neil Mclntyre. James Henry Dimmick and Mies Anna Burgstedt, both well .known in Sandon were quietly mariied in Nelson Wednesday afternoon. Mr. and Mrs. Dimmick will reside in the Lardcau country in future. Frank Griffith is now engaged in sacking at the Westmouth, on Ten, Mile, and expects Bhortly to have a car of high grade ore ready for shipment. The ore carries considerable grey u copper and will probably run in theneighbor- hood. of 175o unces of 6ilver to the ton. H. B. Alexander, manager of the Ruth mine, who has been spending the past winter in England, is now on his way to Slocan irom New York and will arrive in the city in a few days. Mr. Alexander upon his arrival will reopen the Ruth with a full force. Robt. Gordon will have charge of the mill. We have received a copy of the initial number of the''Ozonagram,\" Lowery and McAdaniH'new paper published in Vancouver. It is a half-caste between the Ledge that used to be and the Pay- srreak that has been, and as Mich will be well known to our readers. The fiist number did hot touch the high spot or any other spot, but the next may be up to what is expected. A small, though significant strike of ore was struck on the Rainy Day mineral claim Thursday, while assfssment work was being carried on. The find was made just west of the Donnely along the K. & S. Ry, and cannot be proven yet whether it is a ledge or stringer, as only twoor three feet of tunnelling so far has been done, and not a sufficient amount of work to demonstrate its true value. Robt. McTaggart and John Black are the owners. ^y We have received a copy of a booklet on \"Sport and .Scenery in Southern British Columbia,\" published by the Tourist Association of Kootenay. . It is neatly printed, well written and profusely illustrated with the game and scenery with which this district abounds. CSaudou ia represented by a view of the city from the Elkhorn mine, the picturesque Payne bluff, and winter scene of Reco pack train. New Denver and Slocan City are also brought forward, but Nelson and all its beauty spots, which are many, occupy the main portion oi the pamphlet. Taken\" as a : whole the pamphlet in every detail is a credit to the Tourist Association of Kootanay, an 1 cannot fail to prove a valuable advertisement for this district, so richly endowed by nature with all the requieitieB to satisfy the most exacting pleasure seekers. .
