VOL. 1. NO. 17. SANDON, B. C, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1897. PRICE FIVE CENTS B... Ill DEPOSITS. _> v.'' ��������� Dr. Dawson Cannot Imagine How Anyone Can Consider Them Hot Permanent. Dr. Dawson, head of the Dominion Geological Survey and nn authority upon all matters connected with the geological formation and mineral deposits of the province, was.inferviewed in Victoria. "I have never heard, nor can I imagine," said he, "any reasons for (he idea which appears to be entertained in some quarters that tho mineral deposits of British Columbia are not of a permanent nature. There has not, it. is true, been sufficient work done upon oven the most promising properties, to prove their extent, and it is of course to be expectf d that amongst the total number of claims recorded there will be the usual percentage of worthless anrl valueless ones. That is the enso in nil mining districts, and does not apply more particularly to British Columbia than it does to other places. As is mentioned in my report of 1885, thc mineral deposits are most likely to occur at thc point'of contact with the granite formation, and prospectors on thc islands of thc Gulf would do well to pay particular attention to that important fact." Turning to thc region which is just now attracting so much attention���������the ' Klond j kc���������and the different routes suggested ns being most feasible, the navigability of thc I-Iootalonqua river was brought.up. And upon this subject Dr. Dawson lins information gathered from various sources which would scorn to answer in the affirmative the quos- , tions which have been propounded ns to the feasibility of the proposed Stic- kecn route. From measurements taken by him at thc mouth of the river, which would indicate that, the Iloo.alonqua is of great volume, and from thc reports fur nished by Indians, it seems to Dr. Dawson more than probable that, beyond the danger of low water being encountered at certain seasons of the year, there would not be any serious hindrance to navigation, and this opinion is borne out by the published report of Mr. Hays, of tlie U. S. Geological Survey, The latter gentleman who went up the Teslinlnke from Tnku . inlet, has fumi-hed some valuable and reliable data upon this point, and from his Statements Dr. Dawson is apparently very strongly of the opinion that the all-Canadian route via Telegraph creek, then to Lake Teslin and the iHoo'alonquan river, may be looked ���������upon as being not only feasible, but actually preferable to any of the many ���������which have been suggested. Asked i.s to what he thought; would he the effect upon the silver properties of the Slocan of the recent fall of silver, the Doctor confirmed the statements of other gentlemen who have devoted some considerable attention to - ������he question. "Properties such as some of those in theSlocan, when the lead values are high','can be-worked at _v profit even with silver at' a- much lower price than it is quoted at to:day, and the enhanced value of lead, caused hy the shutting down of some mines, such as those in the Cceur d:Alenes, has added considerably to the advantages possessed by the Slocan people." In regard to the report that the inevitable result of the closing ��������� down of .the mines in the states of Washington and Nevada, consequent upon, the fall in the price,of silver, would be-, a reaction, which would bring up the value of the white metal,; Dr. Dawson said that he looked more to the cheapness of the production, the high percentage of lead and the increased price of the latter metal' to warrant the belief in the continued increase of value , of the Slocan Properties. "Of course," Tsaid he, "it cannot be denied that ih view of the present very unsatisfactory position silver occupies in the 7market of the world, investors^'look with an eye of suspicion upon investments, in such properties, but, taking into consideration the large bodies ������f ore con- geographically, and although with those districts which by name are familiar to most, I have in my special branch of work become more familiar than many, I must confess that the task of visitinsr. much more that of even hurriedly scientifically exploring, it is all moro than one man cm hope to do." HUDSON BAY IS NO GOOD. fl ul If If MIL The Treacherous Lake Claims Three Pleasure Seekers. Johnson, Strohm and Snellman Were the Fated, Ones. It is of no Value From a Commercial Standpoint. St. Johns, Nfld., Sept. 27.���������The steamer Diana, with tho Canadian government exploring expedition on board, arrived here to-day from Hudson bay, where it has boen making an investigation as to thc navigability of those waters for (.'rain laden ships. The expedition mndo six t,ripn through Hudson strait, visited Cumberland sound, explored the const of Baffin land, discovered a large lake in tho interior, trawled for codfish without success, surveyed both shores of Hudson strait, visited Fort.Churchill, obtained a lot of information from the factors there, steamed 30 miles up Ungava river nnd reached Fort Chimo. The. expedition reports unfavorably upon th'e commercial value of the Hudson Bay as a steamship route, owing to fogs, shoals, icebergs, want of lighthouses and the country b< ing bleak and barren with no communication to ci\'ili_?.d regions. The expedition will return in w week to make a final run through thc strait to determine exactly when navigation closes. All explorers are well. The Trail-Robson Road Completed. The last spike in thc Trail-RobBon road was driven on the morning of September 20th, and the construction train was the first to pass over the rails. The following day a train load of cykc. war. brought down from Robson to Trail, and a regular passenges service will bu inaugurated as soon as tho C. P. It. affords the proper'connections for Nelson. A Find of Free Gold. The Royal Gold company, which owns 11 group of claims on Grouse mountain, has recently rnrde a find of free gold on its properties. Recently a wide ledge of promising quartz wns encountered and less thrnn two feet from tlio surface a seam was uncovered that.glistened with free gold visible to the naked eye. D. D. Birks of ��������� the Royal Gold . company yesterday said that the company intended to spend about $600 immediately in development work, as the find of free gold has greatly encouraged therm A LINE YIA CHILCOOT PASS. It Will be Built via Dalton's Trail Fort' Selkirk. . 7 A company is formed and seeks incorporation for the purpose of building a railway line through Chilcoot pass and by Dalton's trail to Fort Selkirk and the Yukon. While the route is longer than via White pass it will be comparatively little longer than the Stickeen or Taku route with tli3 great advantage of having one terminal on deep water and the other terminal in the center of the gold mining district, be absolutely clear of river obstructions on the Yukon, and in a country that is rolling with good indications of mineral, arid, which has plenty of wood. The company that gets this franchise willhave a good thing." A deplorable drowning accident occurred last Sunday afternoon, by which three unfortunate men mot death quickly and suddenly. Thc particulars are as follows : On Sunday morning thc men in question, who had all been working at the Noble Five mine, came to Bennett's boat house and asked for a sailboat, not getting it they went aw������v, but returned after dinner, about half past one, when they rented.,a row-bout, from Bennet nnd started out on the lake, going as far as tho mineral springs. Some time afterwards they again put out 011 tlio water and when about opposite tho long sand point, in some way their boat capsized, throwing thorn all i'lto tho water. Two of the men, John Snellman and Charles Strohm sank from sight almost instantly, thc other, William Johnson, lv Id on to the boat for some time, but finally slipped off and went, down like his companions. Several parties on shore who witnessed lh������ brief struggle of the men put out nt once and picked up thc boat, but no traces of the bodies could bn seen. Dragging for the men was at once, commenced nnd kept up until Tuesday morning, when Johnson was found by thc searcher in waler about 150 feet deep Thc remains wore removed to the fire hall. A gold watch, nr. empty leather wallet, S13.50 and a few minor articles wore frund in tlie clothes of Johnson. Dragging was continued for Snellman and Slroi m, and the body "of Snellman was recovered about throe o'clock yesterday afternoon in about thc same place. Mc had ?125.G5 in his pockets and a silver watch which hail stopped at ten minutes to three, thc time they down. Search is still kept up for thc body of Strohm, but to this hour 1 p.m. wi_h.on_.si_ ������������������'?.������������_���������-., Tho three men were supposed to have been on their way to thc fair at Spokane, and report says thoy carriu i considerable money. Johnson was a carpenter by trade and had been working of late at various mines in the vicinity. He came originally from Telluride, Col. " Tno spot where the first body was recovered is about 200 yards distant from shore, and fisherman Lindsay, Alex. Lindroot and Ole Lnwson were the successful searchers. The water was not particularly.rough at the time, of the accident and how the men upset is unknown, unless the common report that they had been drinking is .true. William Johnson has a sister living in Spokane. She was notified by Chief. Adams of her brother's death and telegraphed them not to bury her brother till she was heard from again. Later she ordered the body shipped to Spokane. This will.be doi e- to-morrow moaning, no inquest being deemed necessary by. Mayor Green, who received instructions from the coro'iipr to use his own judgment' and proceed accordingly- ''. . ��������� '���������. : '; .,;��������� Snellman will be buried this afternoon by the city, as no one seems to know where his friends arc.���������Kootenaian. able to the white miners, wiio can Always find shelter or provision, with them. Prof. Carr-Harris, who spent three or four weeks examining thc, washing operations at thc Granite Creek mining property which is managed by Mr. Robert Stevenson, says that the prospects there are excellent. Thc Klondyke excitement, he continued is aa strong among the miners there as it i* in thc east, and probably three out of every four will leave for that country next spring. That country will prove a very important market ior many years for tlie beef, cattle and flour of Ontario, Manitoba and the .Northwest. In this onmiection he remarked that in his opinion the great route into the Klondyke country will be h_" way of Edmonton, and he pro- prsesto draw the attention of thc government to that fact.���������Montreal ���������Star.

Of course in a ceu.ii.ry- so extensive as this it is almost impossible to say how much is yet to be seen; and of course there is a vast streteh of land in the northern portion which is yet ^absolutely unknown country. Between the Omineca arid the Stickeen river there is for instance a stretch of land _vhich is very imperfectly known even The Jennie, Ainsworth, the No.' 5, and another claim, nil ' adjoining tho; noted Highland mine''at Ainswortr.'; have been sold. The sellers are Henry Croft aiid' S. Thornton Langley, of. Rossland, and the purchasers are Wilr kinsou. Brown and Tomlinsori,; Eng- ligb,capitalists. The sum paid.for thc group was $15,000. .. Prof. Carr-Harris and His Western - Prospectors. The Payne Tramway. '���������'' James Sheeran and his partner, Dan O'Ray, have a contract of hauling the material for the new tramway for the Payne mine. The., tramway will be nearly a mile and a half in length and have three tratjks. Two six mule team., driven with a jerk line, are doing the work. Mr. Sheeran says that lour teams are now engaged in hauling ore from the mine down to the railway, and that the output of the mine at present is 76 tons per day. . Prof. Carr-Harris, of the School of Engineering" in connection with Queen's University, Kingston, who has just returned from a. two months examination ot the gold and silver hearing deposits of., tlio Similkamcen dis-: trict, B.C., reports that these, metals have been found there . in very large' quantities, and that while the fall in the price of silver is somewhat of a drawback, still thero are great prospects ahead. At Summit City silver leads belonging to Messrs. Robert Stevenson and Peter Lundcrsen have assayed $120 to thc,ton. v Another drawback is .the 'heavy expenditure for transportation. It cost $20 to $50 a ton to bring the ore to the line of th_ C. P. R. Travelling through the mountains is principally done on horseback along one horse trails a couple of feet wide. The Indian horses, however, nre cheap, running from five to fifteen dollars each. Prof. Oarr-Harn's speaks very highly of the willingness of the Indians to carry freight. There arc many Chinefie. there who engage in alluvial gold washings, and they arc noted for groat economy in their working operations. . Both the Chinese and Indians are most hospit- Tho Silvertonian of Silv.rton' has this to say of ex-Chief Hamilton which many here and 'elsewhere would rrgref to learn wns the truth. . However our motto is 'Lot Justice be done though thc heavens fa1!'": On his coming to this place, ho stirt- ed out. ns ho said, to put down gambling ; but two of our most prominent hotel proprietors-wore, reacntly waited upon by two well-known "tin-horn" gamblers, who assured those hotel men that if this matter, that of gambling, were placed by them in their hands, under their care, gambling would not be disturbed at their hotels. They assured those proprietors that they were authorized b}r Mr. Hamillo.i to say this There would doubtless be a "rake off" lor Mr. Hamilton. The course, pursued by Mr. Hamilton since bis coming to this ; lace has been too flagrantly bad, to permit us any longer to keep silent regarding it. We take it up only because wc, in ���������common with all with whom wc have spoken to about it, arc strongly of ihe belief that thi��������� state of things should bo shown up. Wc would bo better without any constable than to havo him inflicted upon us any longer. -:wd wc _ask the government for his immediate removal from this place. Jn this, we. voice tho sentiments of thc better class of the community. Thc best way to keep down crime ind to havo the mining camps retain their old reputation of law-abidingncss would seem to ho what wr/riavc heard one of our townsmen advocate, to extend the jurisdiction of the Northwest Mounted Police so ns lo include these mining camps, and to place therein.ai.sufficient number of them to properly maintain law and and order.... Men of the stamp ;of Mr. Hamilton, at leastwill not do so. His ifluence is apparently too markedly,, in the opposite direction. Following the publication;.-of .'-.the foregoing Mr. Hamilton had Mr. Cameron, editor of tlie Silvertonian, arrested for criminal libel, and the charges arid action of defence have thrown the town into great excitement. Two, ���������petitions are now in circulation, one for the dismisal of Hamilton,- and the other to raise means.to defend Cameron; If thc accusation is true, Hamilton should,'of course go. If it 'is untrue, Canaeron should receive the proper consequences. "We should thinkf however, Hamilton was too old a maii to allow himself' to fall into such a net. The case before the court will explain all. .-'���������.'���������' ' ^ The latest r.port is that Hamilton has left the force. He had his option of being suspended.or resigning,and he took the latter. Erom what can be gathered, this has arisen out of some irregularity in arresting. Cameron, of the Silvertonian, for libel and some others for selling liquor without a license. The allegation is he was partial in thc discharge of his duties; but nothing more.serious, has as yet' come U> light. A meeting was held in the Virginia Block Thursday evening for the purpose of devising some means by which a more commodious fire hall could be built and the adding of more necessary hose and apparatus. Mr. Grimmett occupied thechair.The meeting waswell attended. A although several theories were advanced, nevertheless the ultimate, end was that .nil present were unnniniouMy in favor of meeting the neces.arj demands. The building required is 16x20 in dimensions, two stories high with a 00 loot tower for the purpose of storing and drying hose after being used. It could replace the present structure op- Jn passing upon the matter Mr. Justice Drake came to the. conclusion that tlie price paid was inadequate, so much so, as to show a conclusive arrangement between the directors and Doneen to benefit the latter at thc expense of Ihe shareholders. In view of the fact that the British Columbia statutes had not been followed he set aside the conveyance, giving the plaintiff judgement for costs and ordering thc conveyance to be delivered for cancellation. Notice of appeal was given.���������Nelson Miner. ' . Ul Bill positi* the Goodenough. Mr. Harris as- Miring them tlie town ould have free use of the lot. Thc equipment lor the new hall that is rcvuircd is nn extra quality of hose to replace the prc-ient hose as they are somewhat the worse of wear. The sum required for this purpose roughly estimated will amount to about, ������1,000, thc hall itself costing in tho neighborhood of $000. Mr. Harris willhave underway shortly a 515.000 Ore protection system and with the. present operating sys'em will eclipse anything in Ko'tenay thus placing Sandon foremost us having the most complete system in the country and will be able to cope with any emergency that mav arise. Thc source from which thc pressure is to be secured is the creek and is to be worked on the hydraulic system. An addition of seven hydrants are. to be put in, equally distributed through the town. A committee was formed of the following citizens: Messrs. Grimmett. Sandihmds, Switzcr, Thos. Brown, Crawford ami Buckley to canvass thc town for subscriptions for this purposo.They also intend holding a fireman's ball to raise sufficient money to buy the hose. There is no doubt but that these tjcntlemcn will secure the necessary funds, and every citizen will generously l-copon-d .vhen oniiod upon. It w_E l-lsO stated by thc chairman the local government pro.miscd thc sum of $150 to the town of Sandon towards fire protection at the last meeting of thc legislature, but as yet have not carried out that pledge, but there is no question but they will fulfil it at the next sitting of thc House. After thc cl.se of the. meeting a large number of those present nut their signatures to a petition drawn up subscribing sums ranging from $25 toUlOO, which shows to what extent those present realize the necessity of a new hall and increased apparatus. . B. C. ill II EUROPE. Mining Stocks Being Briskly i Europe. Boomed I Toronto, September 21.���������Mr. De Put- ton Gliddcn, one of the members of thc Approved Investment Co., of London, Eng., is in the city. He has just returned from London, and is on his way to Colorado and Montana,where he has considerable business interests. Min" ing business in London and Europe generally, at present, Bays Mr. Gliddon, is only fair, the folks'over there having not yet recovered from the smash-up of the Kaffir circus and the collapse in West Australia. An effort is being made, however, to boom British Columbians, and some of the stocks arc now- quoted but progress is very slow as yet. Excellent work is being done, along the lines of Making British Columbia be'ter known, by thc British Coin bia Review, which can hardly fail to stir up interest before Jong. British Columbia is being talked of in Paris also. La mine, of that city, the foremost mining paper in France, i_ taking nn interest in Canadian mining, and the management recently asked Mr. Gliddon to contribute articles on gold mining in this country. Mr. Gliddon believes that if it were gone about properly, a large amount of capital could b_ obtained in France and Belgium for thc development of the mineral wealth of the Dominion. Asked whether the Klondyke excitement would help other Canadian, mining in the cities of the foreigner, Mr. Gliddon replied : 0 "On the whole I rather think not, fur the Klondyke has been wrongly talked of .as part of British Columbia, and the British Columbia men have encouraged that talk, with tho result that the idea is abroad that the provincehasan Arctic climate, and that, work can be carried on only for a couple or three months each year. The excitement is certainly less than it was, and the new Klondyke syndicates and companies are finding it hard to raise tho capital .they desire. Whitewater, .Notes. is Important Legal Decsion Justice Drake, By Mr. Directors of Foreign Companies Limited in Their Powers in 7 British Columbia. POLICE cm ns. The Justice mill Was ground nothing but shorts the past week, that is the docket is short itself. One of the demimonde tried an action for assault against an inmate but tailed. G. Dumsall had A. McLcod find $1.00 for a brusing. The parties live at thc Sopher mine. A case of contravention of thc vincinl Fire Act is coming up in police court to-day. , Pro- ' thc THE CAMERONIAN. Work on the trail to the Cameronian mine on Lemon creek, has commenced, and a force of men have been put on the property, when on. for shipment will be taken out. The property is owned by a Sandon company. , Last Saturday afternoon; Mr. Justice Drake handed down a decision in the case of R. T. Daniels vs. the Gold Hill Mining company that is of great interest to every foreign corporation doing business in British Columbia, ���������. It 'covers'11'legal point-''that may effect many companies and to an extent protects stockholders in foreign compan- whose properties arc under the jurisdiction of British Columbia courts. . The action was brought to set aside a conveyenee by the directors to E. J. Doneen, a brother of one of the. directors, on the ground that it was ' made fraudulently, without lawful authority, without- adequate consideration and with intent to. ..defraud the creditors and shareholders of the company. The transfer involved the Gold Hill mineral claim at Rossland and was made in Washington in pursuance of powers given to the directors under thc statutes.of the state of .Washington which gives to directors of a company all the power of a corporation. It was registered here as a foreign "company .but the British Columbia, statutes direct that property'of a corporation can only be sold by resolution passed nt a general special meeting of the stockholders'representing at least two- thirds in value of the paid up capital stock of the corporation, which meeting shall be held in the province. Thc property in 'question sold for $1,200 at a meeting of the directors held in the state of Washington and testimony introduced went to show that the actual market value of the property was about $5,000. : Eugene Eyl, K. & S. lineman, building a house on C avenue. ���������': George Irish is building a barber, shop next to Niven & Bell's store.

Air. and Mrs. McCready are the reciepients of many congratulations. The Whitewater mine will double its output this month, shipping 33 cars for the 30 days of September. There arc now 65 men on the payroll and this number will be considerably increased. It is a fact patent to all acquainted with this property that it is in a position to become one of the heaviest shippers in the country. Since work was commenced on the mine no ore other than that removed in actual development work has been shipped. ��������� ��������� ��������� ��������� Isaac Waldron has taken a contract for another 400 feet on thc long crosscut on the Whitewater Deep mine. The calculation is to tap the Whitewater vein 400 below' any present workings on the ledge. With the'completion of this tunnel another will be commenced on the flat, close to Bell Bros', sawmill, within a few yards of the K..&S. tra.k, and run probably 1,200 feet to tap the ledge still lower. The Whitewater Deep consists of five claims, the property of . Barbarian Brown and others, under the management of W. A. Boss. The wort is being done on the Fresno Fraction.��������� Ledge. It is reported that gold is found on Kaslo mountain that assays $96 per ton. Robert Kane is the discoverer. A half interest in the Poor Man mine has been sold to English capitalists for ������100,000. It is not a poor man's payment, however. The following were the shipments from the smelters last week: Matte, Trail smelter, 60 tons; Hall Mines, 200, tons. Total value, 5112,453.82. The Star mine has now its break fully repaired, though it never was as as oad reported in some of tho papers. It was a rush of water that loosened a part of a hanging wall in No. 4 tunnel, lhe full force of miners is now on again, and everything is going on as before. The Arlington, the biggest mine at Slocan City, has shut down because of inability to pay the hands. This is not the fault of the mine, however, as there is plenty of good ore on the dump to meet ail demands. W. H. Brandon is pushing operations hard on his mine, the Canadian group, between Silverton and Sandon. This it what he has to say of Sandon mining;__There is unusual activity among mining men at Sandan, and the output of the camp will, no doubt, be largely increased, as at present all are preparing to take advantage of raw- hiding and additional miners will be put to work in thc near future on the larger properties, while many new claims have been developed during the past summer to such an extent that they are now in shape to swell the out- ��������� put, so that the future for the winter is exceedingly good and the transportation companies will be taxed to their utmost in handling the output of San- don's mines. An old prospector who has recently been working on Harrison lake was in Seattle on Wednesday and exhibited a specimen 01" rock, which, he claimed, was taken from .. considerable body of ore, and which assayed Sl,590. He had another, a picked specimen, which he "claimed assayed $27,000. The " miner said that these were on the same lead as the recent finds made on Mount Baker. On the Golden Star mine in the Kamloops district a tunnel run in to strike the foot wall shows the ledge to be 40 feet wide, with a pay streak a foot and >i half wide. A shaft sunk 15 feet on the foot wall about 100 yards from the tunnel shows ore which assays $53.15 in gold and copper. One of the great advantages of the Kamloops district is that there is no difficulty in shipping, it being possible to drive a wagon to any of the mines. i ,'f. 11 In Rossland and the Sloean. The Miner has received a lengthy telegram from Montreal, signed by J. B. McArthur, president cf the Rossland board of trade, to the effect that yesterday he had an interview with Vice- President Shaughnessy, of the C. P. R., and learned all particulars concerning that corporation's policy in regard to the Kootenays. Mr. McArthur declares that. Mr. Shaughnessy is the authority for the statement that the "C. P. R. interests in Kootenay are infinitely greater than those, of anyone else, and we must deal with them in a ig way." . ��������� ' The dispatch also states authorative- ly that the C. P. R. intends to invade the Kaslo ������ Slocan territory and by a system of tramways to the twines take the cream of the trade enjoyed by the little Kaslo and Slocan between Sandon and Whitewater stations. Mr. McArthur says further that the C. P. R. is planning to control the transportation to and from Rossland. The big road will build into Rossland via China creek fiat.. While the G. P. RJ is not going into the smelting business, thwse who are closely identified with it will do so, and arrangements arc practically completed for the erection of large reduction works at some advantageous point on the Columbia river, which will treat Rossland ores. This plan includes a scheme for gathering together ores of the different mines situated on the different mountains around Rossland at one general depot. Every .hipping mine will be made tributary to the C. P. R. by lin������:s of aerial tramway. from the mines to the railway track, to the total exclusion of other roads. Mr. McArthur concluded his telegram with an expressiou of hope that mine and mineral claim owners will "get in and drill." i'N I M I i t-11 if.

THE IRISH FAMINE. ��������� ��������� It /must, be evident to those who ��������� give the matter attention that there is "������������������ yet much to -.correct. in the governmental' manag.merit even of advanced ;' England. Periodically famines,'that call for the sympathy .of the world, occur in several of her colonies, '��������� and the question of averting- their recurrence never receives, proper attention.-at'the. ,.'���������"' hands of her parliaments. It is true- ���������' that often, visitations occur that are. 7 beyond the mind of man to foresee or "the power of his hand to avert;" but there are certain consequences to foi- ' low certain causes, that any body of men, like .the parliament of England, ought always to have a, knowledge of :���������'.,. trom the written"1 pages: of history. Early" in the seventies there was a . famine in Ireland that, after exhausting the sympathies,of all of .Britain's colonies, recorded its victims by hundreds of thousands, and' from newspaper ��������� reports there is likely to be, a recurrence of it again through the failure of , the potato crop, which is ..the mainstay' of. the population. Of .course the English . parliament ' and -government " ' . could not foresee1'this, approaching failure of crop, but they-should see. tak- ;,- ing into account the business pursuits of the people, that the country is oyer , populated, and that with any partial failure of crops, famine and starvation are the inevitable result. Years ago ������������������-.'. there was a large.employment of labor on the island in. the production, and Vnamitacture of linen, but by England's policy of Free Trade, this has. ���������������������������' all been mined, and now the people��������� the country being without timber ".or minerals���������have to fall back almost exclusively on agriculture, and whenever .his becomes subject to any partial , failure, as it,does in even the most' fav.' '���������' .������red times,,: famine,-is the certain re- ' -suit. Let us now look at a few statistics to' show that the English parliament, are guilty of criminal -..gleet in mot making a reasonable provision' ...against- the 7 suflerings of Ireland Tthrough ihis occasional cause. All things considered there are but 32,500 square miles of land in Ireland, and deducting "gentlemen's" estates reserved as sacred wholly for the chase, roads, townsites, bad. lands, ���������etc. 16,000 square miles is a reasonable estimate for tillage, and the pop-, ulation of the country, is about five and .���������a quarter millions, that is there are ���������.about 3 28 people to be maintained on every acre of available land. Even with good crops any reasonable man must know that living that way is next (to starvation, and there is always a ���������chance of less than good crops. The surprise is that 630 Commoners with [Lords proportionate will sit in parliament and vote away millions, on this tthatand' tlfe other, of money that is not worth more than tsyo or three per; ' icent. .and no thought of a scheme to .avert .-.the probable, ��������� at any time, destruction of their people in Ireland. A .ew millions spent in sending the one- ithird of Ireland's over-crowded population to Manitoba, the Territories ���������or British Columbia, would avert .these disastrous consequences, and be .3oing a serviceable act to our partially settled provinces besides. We say it .'again, the surprise that common sense with a. little regard- for their fellow beings, does not urge the legislators and capitalists of England to an act like this which is .the only thing that can. permanently relieve over-popu- ilated Ireland. It is a matter for surprise that after the visits of the provincial ministers to the Kootenay co.untry during the past summer and seeing what is being done here, some vigorous step is not made towards constructing: wagon roads, building the necessary court houses, school houses and other much needed public improvements, so great- is... the progress of the territory. The first house of any. permanent- character was erected in Nelson some ten, years,ago, which may he regarded as the commencement of settlement, as Nelson is the oldest town ih southern Kootenay,' and now there is a population of not less than thirty or thirty-five thousand ; and .were;- there, suitable public improvements to'meet the demand it- would eaisly be a third greater.. Surely this condition , of things ought' to move the government ,'to something like the necessary action to meet the' necessities of tlie country.- CANADIAN TRADE.

Burn, 011 being asked as to the state of business in tlie east," confirmed previous repor.s of other financial men that busiheis has begun to improve, and that there is an ercellent'outlook for a further advance in that direction. This improvement is due,, Mr. Burn ���������says, in, oh. opinion of many, business irieri, .partly 'to, the' revival of trade which has undoubtedly set in in the eastern states, and also to a, great extent to the fine crops'which had been gathered in .most parts of''Canada, and. the materiaPad vance in tlie, price of most, if- not all, of them. ,'"' ,r With reference to; business,matters in Hnnitobn., Mr. Burn having just arrived, was unwilling to express any opinion.

He says, like Adam of old, it was his wife who was to blame ,as far as there is. blame, in the matter. He told her it was in Slocan City the .disease was,and that it was only fever; that the wife told the reporter it was Slocan City, and the reporter confused it with Sandon, but this will not go down. Th.va.rticle so described San- ���������don, in its drift, that no other place could have been named. If it was Slocan City that was named, why was it said the town was' built in a gulch, across a stream, etc.? The reporter knew none ol Sandon's natural peculiarities, and would not have given ithem if not (old them, and they would never have been brought up if the place had not been named. No ; we :fear Brechtnell has not improved his ���������.case by his letter. Mr. B. E. Walker, of Toronto, gen<?r- a:l manager of the Canadian l.ank of Oonmieive. who has.relurned e:ist..ifl<t spending some ti-nie looking over the '���������lining sections of British .Columbia was'interviewed and lias lhe folio.wii" ... ( .... r- to say regarding lhe wealth of this Country : "lam', very much impressed with what the British Columbia, mining'districts-were going to do for the Territories in consuming moat, butter and ,(lour; also for their own province in the consumption of fruit. Business was just beginning, and. was^capiible, of tremendous development, as the area is opening up.." Mr. Walker spent .,.-1 good .many days' in Kootenay, -arid went all through pretty,carefully. ��������� Silver mining and mining in the galena ores were in a very lively state; twenty or twenty-live mines were shipping ores now. At Rossland and at Nelson there were enormous amounts' of refractory ores that were waiting for better railway facilities and cheaper smelting, lower miners', wages and cheaper food and coal. Such a reduction of charges will make tlio future, of Nelson and Rossland entirely different from the present. There is very littlo shipment of ore going on now at either Rossland or Nelson, there being only one mine at each place. Apart from these, they are largely, living on 'their prospects. Avery different, state of things exists in the Slocan country, which is receiving an income of SI 0,000 a day from ores shipped. Mr. Walker regards the Slocan country as regularly started in its mining career. He dwelt; upon the importance of cheaper trans: portation and the opening up of the Crow's Nest Pass ; this, he said, would" bring cheaper coke, that meant cheaper smelting; cheaper transportation would mean cheaper food,which would mean smaller wages to mines; and all this would mean the profitable working of a Jarge territory that cannot now. be developed. No doubt there was any ariiouh _f gold "and silver in British Columbia, and mining would yield great results ; .though , personally he did not believe tho average, results per man to those engaged in the work would be as good as those attained by raising wheat and hogs, and fattening cattle. In the miners' camps Mr. Walker saw practical evidence of the vigorous demand for agricultural products. Everything that could tempt thc appetite was supplied ; the miner would not work unless he is well fed. The territory near thc Rooky Mountains going to have thc Jirst chance of supplying the mining di.triot. He was very much pleased to see that most of the food seems to be Canadian ; he had fancied the Americans were supplying the greater portion. They were, however, supplying many other things that should be sent in fr_i._ Canada.. British Columbia's Capacity to raise fruits, said Mr. W.ilker is enormous, and the fruit growers will have a market in their own country, as well as in the prairie towns. From the point of view of an outsider it appeared to Mr. Walker that ono 1 hing needed more, thanv anything else in British Columbia, is some means of preventing thc enormous annual destruction of valuable timber by fires started from sparks from railway trains, prospectors' camp fires, etc. As.thc mines are great users of timber, the preservation of the splendid forests is the more important. i.

A Finland Farmer in, Wisconsin Dis- pose's of His Daughters to , . ,, : 'Ayoid Stanation,7. man of tlie .settlement who had long sought- for the hand,'of'the eldest daughter, Hul.d:i:' wliosc husband 'lie was now to become.. Next came . the rnlile for the second, daughter, a rosy- cheeked lass . During the past few, days the; Fin- -, ...'.-'nisb settlement a few miles south of '���������'���������'-���������'. >_aple, Wis., has: been in a state of ��������� great excitement pver.a most remark; able succession of events.: There,;,arc about 200 residents in.the settlement��������� all farmers, thrifty and-, nearly all iii comfortable circumstances. There is a, large surplus of unmarried young men in the community-and a scarcity of marriageable young women; so that every female old enough: to be courted receives,th" attention of from one to-a dozen rival lovers''...' A widower nam ed : Haines Dorfkie is one.of the settlers, ' aiid has been living, since the death olj his wife, with three pre.tydaughters ... ��������� jn "a little log house somewhat'removed from the main -settlement.' Lately Dorfkie met with a riuinbt-r of reverses which crippled liim financially. : He had accumulated enough money since his residence, thereto pastor a 40-acre tract of farming land and to equip the farm' with stock and the. necessary implements for tilling the soil and harvesting the crops, but this year .his crops were poor, his oxen : died, and Iii- -poultry were carried awav by hawks, ho--'.'that.-'-while, his neighbors saw plenty''on haild to carry, them through the coming long winter, the old plan saw starvation looking ���������;'. into 'the. faces, of himself and three .daughters. Something' must be done Hnd the .wary old Fihlander set to ��������� ;'.'���������': thinking out a scheme for replenishing ,; his .depleted exchequer. .At last an jdea carne to him, and he lost no time v jn shaping jt into a lucrative scheme. ',':' He loved his three,daughters and they Joyed liim dearly, but they had dozens of young* men lovers, .and v.sooner ,or ',later they would leave him to live the remainder of his days iii poverty and ' loneliness, i Why not realize some- .'.. thing on his daughters? It was agood scheme and "he proceeded., at once to carry it out- 'The: old man, Dorfkie, Warning to held a conference .with-���������his "th.rre daugters, and . unfolded' to them;, his plan for making '. dney. Tie proposed: \ at first to have an, auction," and to sell ��������� tliem, one!' by one, / to the highest, bidder,; but the young women.shrank from such, a- barbarous suggestion, ���������though they signified their willingness to acquiesce in any legitimate scheme of money-making that the -father -... might devise. , At last tlie . old', gent, : thought it might be' a good scheme to have a raffle; and so informed the'threc dutiful young women. They objected at first, on tlie:ground that they might : be obliged to aceopt men as theirhus- bands,' who '.were "unsatisfactory-:-" to' r, thein, but when the father promised that the tickets should be sold to per- "p'onp only "who wepc acceptable in all respects, there, was nothing left for the girls to do but to assent,; and this they readily did. So it was whispered about, the neighborhood ore day last week that Farmer Dorfkie had decided of 22: summers.' ' This time, the winuing,.ticket was held :by one of the richest men in the. town, b.ut, unfortunately, he was a married man witlra large family. 'This caused a long delay, in the, proceedings, during' wliich the entire' audience entered into a heated - discussion as to, what disposition should- be made of-the ticket,.but it was "finally agreed that the lucky number should be sold at-auction 'then and ..there. This was'donp, and. after considerable spirited bidding, the 'second daughter bec1 me, the prospective bride of ra middle-aged widddwer, who paid ������50 for the prize. Then came the,raffle for the youngest, and t lings were progressing smoothly-enough wlien an error was discovered which, caused a bitter altercation between two ticket holders, and came- near precipitating a free- for-all light .among r ..lie ' spectators; Through- carelessness the 'winning number had been duplicated, and .then, were' two claimants for ..the hand of daughter No.:,8.. At length ;i. general i"ow was averted, however,, by the adoption of a happy suggestion. The two claimants resorted to a "freeze out" for a'termination of thc mattor',", and for two hours they set at a card table, surrounded by an excited crowd of friends, manipulating the pasteboards for a bride. -Slowly thc stack of-chips in front of the unlucky player dwindled to a paltry few, and.atlast ..bis, oppoiir ent swept the board, and the game was decided'- in favor of: ,a .young,man named Gustav'Johnson, who labors by" the day on the farm of his father. Truo'.to their promise the three daughters will allow themselves to be led to the altar -by ihe three, lucky -ivlm-ieTS, and the three weddings will take place within a month, upon which occasion a great daiice will be given in the school-house;to all ,'thc people of the settlement-,.. '// :���������."���������'' to indicate the result of clumsy exe- cu.ions'of humor in. business affairs, the director.! of tlie clearing bunks can be relied upon, to .make strong and' emphatic request to - the government, __j,..skii_g;that steps betaken to end these 'amateurish,attempts to destroy confidence in the. stability of our monetary system,'which is but slenderly supported by. gold, as ' it, is.

In his anxiety to dispose of all- the tickets, Mr. Dorfkie forgot his promise :to discriminate in favor of the best looking and most prosperous suitors in the settlement. He took everybody's dollar in' ex- pha,pg_. for.-a ticket, and the corise- ouehee was that every man in the village, married or single, rich or poor, homely.or handsome, had possessed , bimse}f of one or more chances for the hand of one of the fair daughters long before the time se���������t for the raflle. .

People in the neighboring towns had heard of the novel atlair, aiid came j'rorrt all d.rections to witness this final proceeding. Two hundred and fifty tickets upon each girl had been sold, and the arrangement was that each prize should be disposed of separately under the auspices of a committee selected out of tlie audience. Tickets numbered to correspond with those sold were placed in one box, and another box contained 249 blanks and one number marked "Prize." Two young girls were then selected to preside over the boxes anil the- drawing; commenced, thi>..tickets being removed from both boxosl-ihiultaneously until the lucky number drew the prize.

It is a frightful thing to think of, but it is true. These men should be stopped. I will not be surprised to learn of manydeaths up there this winter. It is the most damnable rush, ever heard, or read of. These men do, not know anything about the horrors Of White Pass in -the,-Winter time, yet thev keei_ on. Just about thc time winter is;'at- its worst, some of them wiil.be caught on White Pass. They will, never escape. '..,-'.. "I am satisfied those who remain : at Skagway this winter will be all right. Spring will soon be with them and they can start for the, north. Once there they will all come back rich if they are willing to stay and to work for a fewyears. There is gold in every body of water, big or little, in Yukon country. People, with all the newspaper talk, do' not know what the rush will be in thc coming spring. , From letters I have received from the States, there will bo 10,000 people in Alaska six weeks after the spring rush commences. I think that reports about so much crime in the vicinity of Skagway have been exaggerated. We are doing what we can to seothat order is j������X~*-' There* is implanted . i" every, man 'a love of life strong; enoujrh to, make liim' tremble, and kneel before dea'tli when lie thoroiiK-ily recognizes its.- approach'.' .,/, The trouble with- men ,is that they do not recognize death unless it comes in some violent . ?^or rapid form. Ji' Consumption " kills more men,, ' than wars, fam- , ines, plag-ues 'and! accidents, but its approach -is-insidiousj and men do not, realize that they are ih its clutch. While consumption is n perm disease, the bacilli will not in/ ���������'vacle:..oniid and healthy lungs; The lungs must first be in'a diseased.condition. . ; First a:'man feels' a little out of sorts] : Probably he ,is-overworked and has given too little time, to' eating-, sleeping and restr ing. His appetite falls off. His digestion geis out of order and his.blood does.not receive :the proper amount of life-giving nutriment. The liver becomes torpid 'and the blood is filled with impurities. These are'pumped into evety ���������or'ran of the body, ..building up unhealthy, half-dead tissues. The most harm is done at the weakest-spot, and' most .frequently that: spot is .in the lungs. A slight cold ,4eads to inflammation, the bacilli invade the lungs and we have a case, of consumption. Ninety-eight per cent, of all cases: of- consumption , are . cured by Dr.- Pierce's Golden' Medical Discovery. It is the great blood-maker and.flesh-builder. It restores the lost appetite, makes the digestion perfect," invigorates the liver, purifies the blood, builds new and healthy flesh and drives out all impurities aiid disease germs.- It cures weak lungs, spitting of blood, obsti- - nate coughs and kindred ailments.
