The Nakusp Ledge was published in Nakusp, in the Central Kootenay region of southeastern British Columbia, from October 1893 to December 1894. The paper was subsequently published as the Ledge both in New Denver, from December 1894 to December 1904, and in Fernie, from January to August 1905. The Ledge was published by Robert Thornton Lowery, a prolific newspaper publisher, editor, and printer who was also widely acclaimed for his skill as a writer. After moving to Fernie, the paper continued to be published under variant titles, including the Fernie Ledger and the District Ledger, from August 1905 to August 1919.

The sidewalks of the town should be repaired. The C.P.R. are putting another wire from N��w Denver to Nelson. Hugh Nelson is erecting a residence on Seventh street near the hospital. Strawberries are $8 a case in Nsw Denver. There are 21 boxes in a case. Slocan City will be on fete next Monday. Do not miss it even if you have to swim. J. C. Harris is erecting several cottages on the Bosun ranch for employes of the mine. A bout 100 feet of tho Four Mile wagon road above Grady's gulch was washed out Sunday night. A jolly party of picnickers chartered the yacht Alert Sunday and spent the day at Six Mile falls. In the second issue of the Outcrop at Canterbury the editor calls for a policeman. So soon, William ? Mr. Bartlett of Silverton will conduct divine service in the Presbyterian church Sunday morning-. It has been hot in New York, Manitoba, Hades and other well-known points during the past week, The election of school trustees will take place on Saturday. Some interest should be taken in the matter. Since the heat raised the scale Williams has been almost constantly at the wheel of the milk shako machine. Felix Pi Ion and Joe Burke have returned from the Windermere country satisfied that there is no place like the Slocan. Mrs. David Mathoson received the sad intelligence of the death of her mother last week, at the old home in Ontario. The social given by the Ladies' Aid Society in Pymaw's hall last Thursday evening was very successful, financially and otherwise. The government should build a wagon road up Silver mountain, there- bv increasing its revenue and h��lping- tile entire camp. John Goettsche has shipped three carloads of New Denver brick to Sandon since the fire. It is a hot wind that blows nobody g-ood. The Slocan Hospital grounds present a very attractive appearance this season, and are a credit to this flourishing and most important institution Several small boats were stove in at the wharf by the heavy storm Monday evening. The private boathouse under the froightshed was also demolished. The lake is at its highest. Bathing L0GAL 0UTGR0PPINGS UNDER ONE FLAG. Lemon creek.

The dog made a rush at the bear, but the berry hunter would not have it that way. He chased the dog, which naturally ran to his master. His master climbed a partially fallen tree and remained there until the danger left for other parts. ��� The other night the miners working in a winze on the Marion had just gone off shift when a porcupine came along and entered the tunnel. The porky was evidently reckless or bent upon suicide, for the next shift found hi in lake, while others are agitating- an all- air route by means of balloons.

Williams will not leave town next Monday He will stay at home and deal out the red rich strawberries and ice cream at the old stand on Sixth avenue. Invitations are out for the wedding of Larry O'Neill and Miss M. A. Lees, which will take place at the residence of Elias Hesketh. in Three Forks, on Monday, July 2nd. At lllecillewaet last Thursday P. Kennedy and Arthur Chambers were firing some shots in a tunnel, and the fuse burned too rapidly. The explosion injured them severely,and they are now in the hospital at Revelstoke. A special early train next Monday morning will enable the upper Slocan folks to take in the sports at Slocan City and return the same evening. Hundreds should avail themselves of our sister town's celebration. W. A. Coplen was in town this week. He states that the management of the Fair in Spokane are desirous of having a complete exhibit of Slocan ores at the Exposition this fall, and urges the people of this district to take an interest in it. Peaches are resting easy at Williams' after their long journey from their native home. Take a bite at them when vou have time and monev. The demand for Slocan strawberries is so great in Nelson and Rossland that it cannot be. supplied. The berries grown around New Denver are the best in the world. T. K. Mclunes says that from the way in whicli his father was treated at Victoria the people of British Columbia are no better than negro lynch roasters, and the province no longer fit for a Briton to live in. Mac should pull his freight for some other clime. C. R. Simpson has a ranch near Box Canyon and deserves to succeed. He handed the editor this week a box of Sharpless strawberries that would draw a prize in any man's camp. Simpson can always find the latch string on the outside of this office when he comes to town. He is the first rancher in the country to discover a journalistic aching void for big, juicy strawberries. Scarcely any connection exists between morality and the discipline of ordinary teaching. Mere culture of the intellect (and education as usually conducted amounts to little more) is hardlv at all operative upon conduct.

It will not be as large as the former Reco, but more comfortable. The tramway scheme to New Denver already has opposition. Some parties propose to build a huge tunnel to the Mrs. Egerton, aw English lady, who did nursing work in Dawson City, carried out an original idea in London, Avhich greatly gratified the C. P. R. people. Mrs. Egerton has been much struck by the scenery along the line of the C. t'. R., as well as with the service which the company rendered across the continent, and she determined to let the folk in England know something about both. For this purpose she availed herself of a fancy ball at CoventGarden, to appear in a costume which took the first prize for originality, and which illustrated Canadian scenery and the C. P. R. in a highly striking' manner. The lady's hat was trimmed in a manner to show the C.P.R. trains in motion; her cape set forth Lake Ontario, Lake Superior and the Rocky mountains, while the front of her dress showed a train rushing at full speed through the wonderful ravines in the far Northwest. In the lady's hand was a banner which contained the coats of arms of the ( several provinces constituting the Dominion. The tout ensemble, as the London press remarked at the time, was wonderfully striking and impressive and gave, at a glance an idea of a ! country of which Londoners, previous to the jubilee, knew very little. Mrs. Egerton. as Mr. Baker, the C. P. II. agent in London, pointed out, did all this 'off her own bat,' and solely with the patriotic view of making Canada known. The lady is coming out again, probably this summer, when she will make an extended tour of the country. Photographs of Mrs. Egerton in her unique costume an; at the general offices of the 0. P. R. The Emily Edith. The Trade Dollar will soon be shipping ore. The option on the Two Friends expires next Sunday. , Work is being done at the Reco and Texas by contract. The snow is still deep on the higher peaks of the Slocan. On Springer creek, aix men ara working at the Tamarac. Jim Ward and A. C. Allen are perforating rock at the Eclipse. Geo. Long and Nat Tucker are working the Bay State, near the Idaho. The sinking of the shaft on the Nee- pawa has exposed a fine showing of ore. The Arlington will erect a new ore chute near the Y of the C. P. R. at Slocan City. Development at the Rockland is proceeding steadily under the management of Mr. Williams. Mike Kirlon and his partner Waddell have bonded the Mascot to the Ruth people for b30,000. Ground sluicing is being carried on at the Sinfi with a view of catching- the Mountain Chief lead. Since the first of the year 1140 tons of ore have been shipped from the Slocan City mining division. There are 85 men at the Last Chance. An electric light plant is likely to be installed this summer. R. A. Beamish has entered an action to recover 82,190 for injuries sustained , while working in the Whitewater. The Kilo has sent 20 tons to a Colorado smelter for scientific treatment. The result means much to Lemon creek. Last week the Payne shipped 170 tons; Last Chance, 00: Slocan Star, 120; Argenta, 20: American Boy, 20: Whitewater, 131. The Bosun has shipped seven carloads this month, and the ore showings arc increasing- very satisfactorily as development work is pushed ahead. The owners of the Eclipse are opening the ledges on that property by surface work this season. They have ore in the face of both tunnels run last year, and this season's work has exposed ore on the surface in several new places. Work has been commenced on the long Slocan Star tunnel. It will be 2100 feet long, 8 feet wide and 7 feet high. Considerable waste will be run through before reaching sold rock where ma- '��� chine drills will be used to push the work to a rapid finish. THK ELEMENTS AT WAR. The F.mily Edith, near New Denver, hns let a contract for driving 100 feet in No. -1 tunnel. This, with the contract on No. 3 tunnel, should make it lively at this property. The other tunnels have not yet been opened by the management. No ore will be shipped until the property is thoroughly developed. When all is quiet and restful, the sun shining warm and brightly, and the gentle breezes waft the sweet scent of the wild wood into the home, the office and workshop, then it is that New Denver and the scenery surrounding it are to be,appreciated to the limit, then is life sublime; But no words can adequately express the weird grandeur of it when the elements are turned loose as they were Sunday night. The canonading of a thousand guns, and the bursting of five thousand shells a minute, would be but mimic warfare as compared to the dashing' of the elements that night. From all quarters, and in every direction at the same time, the lightning flashed and darted and zig- zaged from and to the mountain tops, while the thunder roared in a manner most terrible and grand. At times it was as if the mountains were lifted to the heavens and dropped one upon the other. The night was as black as the chamber of death while the storm lasted and this added to the vividness of the lightning flashes, and made the outline of the mountains more rugged and wild and precipitous in the glare of the awful light. Several fires were started on the mountain side by the lightning, but the heavy rain quickly put them out. It was a grand sight, and an experience long to be remembered.

Not that they seem to have much to fear on the score of the number of converts made by the missionaries, for the average number of converts admitted in the reports of the China Inland .Mission is low in relation to the number of mis- s'onaiics employed and the. cost of maintaining the numerous stations As examples; In the reports for ls'OO, Kan- suh has in missionaries and native helpers, and reckons only CO eoiiiimiiii- lainents for nothino' at all.and is always ill.'

The cost of the war in South Africa has been enormous, and the mines of the region will doubtless have to bear the brunt of the burden thus imposed on the British government. For this reason some people are disposed to take a gloomy view of the immediate outlook for the mine owners. It should be remembered, however, that there are offsetting items in the account of a most important and favorable nature. A very heavy annual tax by the new authorities, which would be certain and direct at all events, mig-ht easily be far less troublesome than the mass of taxation, direct, indirect, open, and thinly disguised, hitherto imposed by the Boei-B. ,Wm.-Dinwiddle, now in South Africa for Harper's Weekly, draws up a formidable indictment against the Transvaal government in this respect. President Kruger and his followers, he says, have established a system of government concessions which surpass, if possible, anything in Spain's colonial possessions as gigantic opportunities for official steals and rake-offs. These are farmed out to individuals, under the specious plea of promoting the industries of the country. One man has an exclusive government concession for the manufacture of sweets and candies, another controls the candle market.and so on, through all the small trades. Why, a trust or a combine would blush at the profits these men rake in by means of their absolute power to control the selling price of certain commodities. The railroad is a royal concession, which pays dividends, it is said, of something like two hundred per cent each year. The selling of dynamite is another, and this concession and that of the railroad have been extremely oppressive to the mine owner. Dynamite, which can be delivered at the mines for 39 cents for 50 pounds, costs the mine owner-85 cents. The granting- of these concessions was practically in the hands of President Kruger, and it has been carried to such length now that it is an open, festering sore in the Transvaal, where glaring scandal after scandal has been exposed. Another evil has been the !itout labor system." No mine owner to-day can secure labor without first ostensibly dealing with a chief of a black tribe, who agrees to furnish ao many laborers for the mines at a bonus of from $60 to $80 per head, the rate of wage contracted for beine 75 cents a day, or three or four times as much as that paid by the Boers anywhere in the veldt. The money is not paid to the black chief, however, but to a Boer go-between,and no questions are asked. Again, the selling of liquor to the j has silently permitted himself to be ! robbed, right and left, for years, know- I ing that he was furnishing practicallv | the entire revenue of the country, and j building up the fortune of every burgher ! who came inside the charmed official j circle���the golden ring of Kruger. Yet, j with all this, he was denied the right of I any representation or voice in the gov- i eminent. If he had had a "say in the j administration, it would have meant j the death-blow to many corrupt prac- i tices. The old President knows this, ami is struggling now. in a last grand j fight, to keep England out, the Icelanders in his control, and the wizard's hen that lays the golden egg* in his clutches. The Boer farmer contributes hardly ! a thing to the treasuiy of his government: the laws have all been framed so that he shall never bear the burdens of taxation, and thereby become disgruntled witli the nation's guiding hand. He may even (if hard up) borrow money from the government on his land estate (which consists, usually, of from 10,000 to 1(',000 acres of unfertile, arid land, over which a few cattle graze, and a home-place of mud, with half an acre of slightly cultivated garden-patch), if he States that he needs it for improvements. With his slovenly habits of mind and body, it is no wonder that he is content with this government and believes implicity all that Ooin Paul tells him. Not a cent of money could be raised by the municipal authorities of Johannesburg, for public purposes, without the consent of the government at Prer toria; nor a city ordinance or local law could be passed without authorization from this same power. In other words, Johannesburg, the centre of wealth, of culture, of population, the headquarters of the Uitlander in the Transvaal, was absolutely as much under the thumb of President Kruger and his followers as is the infant in the arms of its mother. The Uitlander is not the kind of offspring to take kindly to too much wet- nursing, nor to care for a mother with pins in her clothes. The development of the mining industry of the Transvaal has been a marvellous growth, and the figures used in expressing the money invested stagger the mind. It costs from two to eight millions of dollars to put down the preliminary shaft of several thousand feet to the gold-bearing reef and to erect the machinery. Many of the mines have eaten up tweuty millions before they have returned a cent of proht. The net returns, however, on this immense capitalization are from ten to twenty per cent, some having reached still hig-her figures. When they, the mine owners, talk of monthly outputs of 490,000 ounces of gold��� $9,000,000 and over���the poor man with a little change in his pocket sadly jingles it together and wishes he were rich. In these.mines the average pay for a white man is $5 a day: chemists, engineers and other professional men receive salaries all the way from ��10,000 to $00,000 per annum; but they all agree that the cost of living is triple that of the high-priced mining regions of the United States. It would certainly seem that such a stupendous enterprise,which employs a hundred thousand natives, and has over fifty thousand ivide-awake white men engaged in it, deserves to survive and flourish in this far-away land, under a decent system of government, and with some of the privileges we enjoy in our own land, particularly when we remember that a large proportion of these men are our cleverest and ablest professional men ��� Americans who believe in American ideals. WHITE OKOtlSE NOTKS. Messrs Fisher and Hams have gone into the Mansfield Syndicate property to open up some leads which were ex- natives has been a constant and serious \ ceptionally promising last year, and it drawback to every Uitlander who employs laborers. It is against the law to sell* liquor to natives, and yet every mine owner estimates that 20 per cent of his high-paid black laborers are totally incapacitated for work during two days of the week by drunkenness. Appeals to Pretoria have been in vain, and as the Secret Service men are the^ ig.Mits of the concessiimar of; princip liquor, it follows that no arrests are made for illicit Milling of intoxicants. Once more, these mine owners estimate that 5 per cent of their total output of gold is stolen, in the shape of amalgam and refined gold. It has been practically impossible'to secure conviction of thieves, even when taken red- handed in robbery, because, as much evidence goes to prove, the Secret Service Department of the government, on whicli millions have been expended annually during the last few years, is the active agent to whom the gold is sold,while high officials are the principal bankers of the ill-gotten, but weli-pro- tecte.d, gains. It is no wonder that the mine owner kicks against these outrages, growing heavier' every >'<'!l1"- He Pil-Vs h,?;,vy land taxes, taxes on impr.ivenn'nts. ni" come taxes, taxes on output, and poll: taxes.

Im. is anticipated that some very gratifying results will be produced. The. Swede group, owned by Milton and Ericson, three claims immediately east of the property of the Kaslo-Slocan Development Co., Limited, have one of the best showings that has been met with in the Kootenays. A lead of some four feet, carrying high values in copper and gold, runs through all of the claims and across one of the claims of the above named company. The intention of the owners is to continue the tunnel now in some sixty feet about tweuty teet more to cross the lead at a depth of fifty feet where the grade of ore will in these formations be found higher than upon the surface. President W B. Strafherii of the Kaslo-Slocan Developing Co., Limited, has taken on a small force of men to do some preliminary work on the company's property and will return shortly and report as the the condition of the roads and trails and the feasibility of prosecuting development on an extended scale. Prominent representatives ot capital are in correspondence with the company with the object of inspecting all the White Grouse properties at as early a date as possible, so that a season of great activity all through the, district may bo eonlidently expected. Mr. Mansfield also goes in shortly to inspect his recent purchases for his syndicate, and the Storm King: and Copper King groups all being in; active operation this oistrict will certainly gain the prominent place it de-i serve? ami'iiu' it�� many attractions to; capital. ��� N'clsi'i: Miner.
