The juveniles remembered Hallowe'en in the customary manner. Increased school accommodation has become an urgent necessity. Ira Black's new hotel at Phoenix is .almost ready for occupancy. Sandon curlers have organized, with M. L. Grimmett as president. Phoenix is booming and sleeping accommodation is at a premium. Mrs. W. P. Evans is spending a few ���days in town, visiting Mrs. Cook. There is daily passenger train service to Greenwood, Sundays excepted. The C.P.R. is figuring upon making Nelson a divisional headquarters. Miss M. Todd left Monday, via Nelson, to spend the winter in Manitoba. Dr. Morrison, dentist of Nelson, is playing a lone hand of draw* at the Newmarket. There is not a word of truth in the statement that the miners in the I^elson and Ymir districts have accepted the S3 rate. \" . '��� A very enjoyable Hallowe'en part}* was given Tuesday evening at the Kirk- wood home by Mr. and Mrs. Smither- ingale toa number of theiryoung friends. Preparations are under way for a concert to be given by the New Denver Sunday School, for the purpose of raising funds to purchase a creditable library. J. W. Bengough, the renowned cartoonist and elocutionist, is announced to give one of his entertainments in the Music Hall, Slocan. next Friday evening. The banks report money much easier and collections good. This is proof of the general upward tendency of business and augurs well for the approaching winter and spring. Agent Garrett has had some very needy changes made in the C. P. R. office at the wharf, much to the comfort of the waiting public and the accelerating of business in the office. Last, week the, Jackson shipped 05 tons of ore. The first payment on tlie Marion bond falls 'due this week. Work is being pushed on the Tecum p- sey, on the North Fork. The United Empire, Ten Mile, is applying for a crown grant. Rambler-Cariboo stock has reached 60 figure,'.with few sellers. The force on the Noonday is to be increased and shipments resumed. The Bosun made a shipment of 20 tons of zinc ore to England last week. A pack train of twenty head is taking supplies to Camp Mansfield, Kaslo creek. Work is being pushed ahead on the Hartney. There is eight tons of ore on the dump. ��������������� S. B.

The wages of the Trail smelter men have been raised to the standard of the Northport smelter. Mrs. F. Brown will open fashionable dressmaking parlors in the Bolander block, Slocan avenue. A show at Sandon the other evening took in $122. The people still have shekels in that burg, J. M. Harris, of Sandon, leaves this week for his Virginia home, where he will spend the winter. Rev. J. A. Cleland will remain in the Slocan until December. His next location will be at Comox. The New Denver wagon road to the Forks has been repaired and put into fair shape for the winter. The C. P. R has a monopoly of the freight business into the Boundary, and they are handling lots of it. There are 13 lawyers at Greenwood and R. B. Kerr has concluded to hang out his shingle in Phoenix. J. & R. D. Cameron and G. Knowles, of Sandon, arc inspecting the Boundary with a view to finding new locations. The Greenwood Miner is to blossom out as a daily���a glaring* infringement of the Nelson Daily Scab's copyright. Aylwin, the upper townsite on Ten Mile, is a busy little burg, owing to the operations of W. C. E. Koch's sawmill. The Presbyterians will give a high ciass concert in the Bosun Hall next Tuesday night. Sandon talent will be present. The receipts at the record office for the month of October were double that, of September. A good evidence that the spell is broken. Work on the Balfour extension of the C P.R. will be commenced within 30 days, and the work will be done by local contractors. Peter Genelle has reported to the provincial police that two of the work- . men at his West Robson sawmill have An evidence of the rapid growth of Nelson may be judged from the fact that a carload of plate glass, for shop windoAvs, arrived there this week,being almost all contracted for. The fire alarm was sounded Monday night for a chimney blaze in the Smitheringale cottage, Sixth street. No damage was done, and the alarm only served j Kaslo creek ha: to demonstrate how quickly a force of | Black Fox mine fire fighters can be called out and lined up for business. The concert to be given next Tuesday evening by the ladies of the Presbyterian church promises to be highly successful. Some assistance is being given by Sandon talent and as the local talent is well represented and an abundance of refreshments will be served a good time is assured. The funds appropriated by the government for the repair of the wagon road has been expended and the road is again in good condition. It is very apparent, however, that it will require the expenditure of much more to put the road in anything like a permanent good condition. Harry Strickland, manager of the local brapch of Bourne Bros., reports business much improved. Several carloads of supplies for the winter trade have been received, and it is the intention of the firm to make this the. supply centre for the surrounding camps. As an evidence of this awakening their ad \"in this issue will suffice. J, C. Gwillim was in Slocan City this week on his Avay to Ottawa from the Atlin country, where he had charge of the Dominion government's geological work during the summer Mr. Gwillim says that the indications in Atlin are favorable to quartz mining, but as yet little attention has been given to anything save placer and hydraulic mining. Tonight the local lodge Knights of Pythias will hold their third annual ball in their hall, and every preparation lias been made for a huge time. A large crowd is expected, and it promises to be even more successful than former affairs. Dancing will be held in Clever's hall, commencing sharp at 9p.m., while the supper will be given at the Newmarket hotel. Output, of tlie !..<��� Koi. day stock Two inches ot clean ore is showing in the,breast of the new workings on ihe Hartney. Considerable, prospecting has been done this season on Wilson creek, with the. usual success. The cross-cut tunnel on the Rubv has been driven 55 feet. Four men are employed on the property. A. J. Marks is inspecting the California this week. Recent developments are proving very satisfactory. W. W. Warner lias take a contract for 400 feet.of tunnel and 200 feet of upraise to be driven on the Madison. New hunkhouses and offices are to be erected'at. the Bosun, and next summer a residence for the manager. The wagon road up the south fork of been completed to the ind a trail is being built to connect with the Excelsior trail. Work will be resumed next week on the Sarah Jane, one of the claims of the Neglected group, close to New Denver. Tom Tobin and partners are meeting ivith success through their work on the Rainbow, near Slocan City. The pay- streak in the granite is six inches in width. Builuiiigs are being erected at the Hartney suitable for winter quarters. The force has been increased and operations are to lie conducted on a more extensive scale. Before all of the properties in the dry ore belt of the Slocan can be worked profitably, mills will have to be erected. The introduction of machinery means much to prospect owners around Slocan City. A good trail has been built to the Ca- pella group, Goat mountain, and winter quarters are being erected. Pete's pack train took up the camp utensils Wednesday morning. Work will be pushed on the property all winter. A cross-cut tunnel is being driven on the Mollie Hughes to tap the ledge some distance below the workings driven on the lead. In the upper workings ore is showing all the distance of the tunnel, something like 100 feet. A Montreal broker offered to bet $1000 the other day that the Payne would be a regular shipper insida a month. If the Payne can ship ore enough to pay $100,- 000 monthly dividends, us was stated at the recent director's meeting, it is difficult to discover a reason for the delay in operations even this long. J. M.Williams is expected back on Tuesday from London, Eng , when a large force of men will be put to work on the Chapleau. Ike Lougheed, who secured the contract for building the new cabins, has eight men employed at the job. Two cabins, 72 feet long, are being erected, besides roothouses and other outbuildings.' Bruce White, and other prominent mining men, have taken an option on the Iron King group of claims, situated about ten miles up Evans creek. The ledge is a very large one, there being in the neig'hborhood of 150 feet of quartz, with a heavy iron capping. Some good assays have been had from this ledge, and the probabilities are that this new region will he opened up now. The lessees of the Two Friends group have crosscut the Black Prince lead on the Two Friends ground, and about 200 feet west of the workings on the Black Prince. The crosscut is 158 feet long, and where the ledge was cut the lead had narrowed to six or sevtm inches. A drift is now being driven to the west on the vein, and in six feet it widened to 20 inches. The Black Prince lead runs through the Two Friends property about 200 feet south of the original Two Friends lead and parallel to it. The third annual ball .given by the Oddfellows, last Friday night, in Schon- berg*'s hall, was again a great success, in spite of the bad weather, which kept many from outside points away. The supper was --upplied by V. C. Rackliff, and it was beyond praise. The music was furnished by Mrs. W. J. Adcock, Neil McMillan and Norman Arnot Forty-five couples were present and dancing was kept up with great enthusiasm until 4 a.m., every number on the programme being thoroughly enjoyed. It is gratifying to know also that the committee has a nice surplu.-. on hand after paying all expenses. v^wj&sm&'&s as sb ssassass I NEW PLACER LAW Isassasas as as ssaas^ssssessss WINIJKKMKKK CAJtP. l-'uriiiillK ill tin; Itounilni-y, Work on the Silver Thread and Sitting Bull has been suspended for the winter. The owners of the Swansea are sacking ore for shipment, and will continue general development. The owners of the townsite of Canterbury, situated at the head of Windermere lake, are contemplating the erection of a 85,000 hotel. A French outfit from West Kootenay is taking in supplies to a claim belonging to them on Toby creek, and purpose continuing* the work during the winter months. The town of Peterboro is going ahead fast. The townsite company is building a $5,000 hotel, and Stark & Moore are putting in a sawmill. Several buildings are in course of erection. A new discovery was recently made en Number Two creek, below Horse Thief creek, ^he discovery was made by an Indian, who sold it to Mr. Foster, of Windermere, for $800 cash. There is four feet of solid galena on the claim. The Paradise group, on Spring creek, is a wonder. There is 76 feet of ore, which will ayerage across the vein $80 in all values The ore is sand carbonates, and is easily worked. Development on the claims will continue all winter. Sixteen men are. now employed in the development of the Delphine. A camp has been established and Avork will be continued throughout the wint er. TI ie The output of the Le Roi for the month of September was 8110,000. The total shipments were 8,664 tons, and the average value of the product was a little less than 813 per ton. Practically all the ledge matter is being stoped and shipped for its full width. Almost no hand sorting is resorted to.

This certificate will entitle the holders thereof to perform on anyone or more of such claims all the work required to entitle him or them to a certificate of work for each claim so held by them, if such work shall not be done, or if such certificate shall not be so obtained and recorded in each year, the claims shall be deemed to be abandoned. \"The holder of a claim may at his option, m lieu of the work required to be done thereon each year, pay to the mining recorder in whose office the claim is recorded the sum of $200 for each of the first three years, but for the fourth and succeeding years the sum of $400 must be paid, in lieu of work done on the location or in commutation therewith, as provided by the regulations. A certificate from the mining recorder that such payment has been made shall relieve the person making it from the necessity of doing any work during the year. \"If at the end of the year the annual amount of work has not been performed, nor the commutation fee paid, as above stated, the sum of $250 shall be charged against the claim, and the said amount shall constitute a lien on such claim, and no transfer or title to such claim shall be recorded until the said amount of $250 shall have Deen paid to the mining recorder. \"If the lien is not discharged by payment at the expiration of three months from the end of the year, the claim -��hall revert to the Crown, and shall not be open for relocation, and may be disposed of as the minister of the interior may diiecl. j \"No claim forfeited, from whatever I cause, shall he relocated, but every such claim shall revert to the Crown, to be disposed of as the minister of theinterior shall direct.

The club solo now being.played by Eugland against Kruger will, be hard on Paul. He will lose nearly all his diamonds and hearts, although he may take in a few spades. The old man will soon learn the folly of playing against a strong \"widow,\" Paul Kruger is called Oom Paul by the Boers. Oom means our or uncle. Paul was not born in Bruce as some people think. He is a fine old man, but will likely change his name when the Kootenay contingent locate\" him from Oom Paul to Our Dennis. In order to show our loyalty to the flag thatr never, gets out ofthe sunshine'we will send The' Ledge free to all Canadians who are handling lead in the wreck of matter and things in South Africa. The boys will find ic an excellent'tonic when they grow weary of hell, fire and the old army biscuit. ' The C. P.

Better stay single-tracked and settle up. Some people never know when to quit. Ex-Premier Turner and local adherents bubble over about.once a week with indignation about the eight-hour law. Most of them who so bitterly denounce it would drop dead if they were asked to work one shift of even four hours. And yet they incessantly decry it as abortive legis- lation only partially enforced.

Suppose the Western Federation of Miners had taken a bond on the mines and operated them on the same business priu ciples the capitalists have. What would have been the result? The vast wealth of those mines would have gone to the toilers who produced it.

Speaking of the charges of corruption so often heard coming from Dawson, City, a writer in the Toronto Saturday Night says some very comely things: \"None but those who have lived in a mining camp can describe the conditions which exist there. The cofifditiohs may not be such .as are desired, but in many places more contiguous than Dawson to what we call civilization, the social and business, life has been vefv much worse. Those who are affected % the a��'ute lust of gold to be dug from the earth are practically maniacs in nine cases out of ten, and they seem to forget every idea in ; life but the one thing ���gold! The spending of it is also a feature which must not be overlooked. Those who find, imagine that they will find more; those who have not found the precious metal expect to find it tomorrow. Without regard to morals, religion, laws or anything else, they live and die, a race separate from the rest of mankind. They are gamblers, and the stakes are life, health, social contacts, everything that those of us who live at home esteem to be most valuable. The winners get great notoriety; those who fail have their only satisfaction in revenging themselves upon supposed adversaries, or upon the officials who confine their operations to legitimate lines. Is it at all wonderful that Daiwson City has developed so manv kickers? If, instead of inspiring scandals or publishing them, the newspapers were to tell of the awful tragedies for which no one is to blame jexcepting the explorers and prospectors, the public heart would stand still in amazement that men could be found who would go through such dangers and die such deaths, or live such lives.\" ������a^^^*?^^.^^.^^ J^jotoakfiMbd Established 1817.

Labor can exist without j capital, as capital is now understood ! to be, for labor is capital; and giyen j an equal opportunity at the natural resources, lal:or would be much better off than now,whenit must depend upon concentrated wealth for the privilege of enjoying the bounties provided by an all wise Creator for all His creatures. Some there are who will say it is foolish and visionary to say that labor does not require the capitalist for its existence. Let us-see if it is so. j _��.. �� The- history ot the Coeur d'Alene !

The excursion iii itself had not seemed foolish,and Mrs. Hillis had been one of the most enthusiastic of those preparing to celebrate the, finishing of the new railroad from Bradley Junction'to trie fake. But there wa3 a recruiting station 'at Lake City. In front of the doOr of this place a band was playing patriotic airs. Above its roof the stars and stripes were flying. And there Major Seely haranguedtii'e young men. Jack Hillis was i7 and a month, but he was tall and large and looked 20. So he signed his name and was accepted. It was a possibility his mother had never imagined. Of Mrs. Hillis' four sons' Jack was her favorite. Simon, the eldest of the family,' was in business and married. He was already making great gains on his merchandise because of the state of the country and the fear for the future. He \\ViVs buying a's far as his money and his credit could reach. He would most assuredly riot enlist. Evan had recently been graduated from a medical college. While he pared his linger nails in a', strictly -professional' manner, he falked joftify of going into the field as a surgeon,if Uncle'Samnee'ct- ed him. But as a common soldier���\"No thank you.\" Next there was Joe. , It was the general feeling in the family and , the'neigh-; uorhood that Joe was? godcl be'cause he'j lacked strength of character to be anything else. ' No brie knew his deficiency better than did his mother, lie had always been the stupid end of the family^ Nobi-i'gh't s'a'yingB of Joe'si childKoo'd' had' ever been recorded.\" When there was' extra work to be done, Joe was kept out of school to do it. \"What does it mat ter?\" his mOther would say. \"Ydu are' always at the footofybuiVchls'seS'.\" . So1 continually h'ad' Joe heard' hi'm'self1 depreciated through his childhood and yovrtlh, nVe grew to lnkiihodd fully understanding that he was the blockhead of the family\". Sbmetli'mes Joe thought he might like sohiet'lnrig else' tlijiri' the\" farm, but if he hinted at the idea ever so mildly there was a general laugh, and then Joe turned scarlet and silent. Jack, thc'yoiuigest of the quartette of Hons, was the darling of the ftCmily, arid,' though the other boys' wdre creditable, Jack would surely eclipse them whenhe made a choice of a business or a profession for life. And now he had enlisted ! It was not to be endured any longer than till such tiirie asJ the work of the foolish lioy could be lit-doile. , . On the evening of the day that Major .Seely had're'leased Jack, Joe was coining home from the ttaynor farmhouse. The Hillis and the Kayndr farms adjoined. Jennie Raynor met Joe in the shadow of the hedge. Of all the girls in the neighborhood Jenny was the only one that was ever kind to Joe. The rest, taking the opinion of their elders for their own, '\"'snubbed Joe on every occasion. On this evening, after talking over Jack for some time, Jue said: \"If T should enlist, I don't believe mother would try to get me off.\" ���*0fi; yes,\" Jennie hesitated. She felt that Joe spoke the truth. After a pause, she continued, \"But you won't enlist, .b.e?\" \"'I'don't know. I'd rather enlist than be drafted. ��� Idon't like the idea of being driven out to be shot at.\" \"Do 3rou think the war's going to last' long?\" \"f don't know. If it does, then I'm t'<-'hig:.\" ' ^ , \"Oh, Joe !\" and Jennie's face, was very white. i Joe, watching her, felt his heart give a' great leap'^rid^theii ;sta.udV stilL Could it be.', possible? He the stupid of the family, the blockhead of the neighbor- hood,'and she, the -prettiest, the]brig!ht- est ami the best girl in the world! \"Joe, why have you done this,\" his so precious! fiiit never to see fiim again I This patieut, silent, and unappreciated son ! The manner of Joe's death was told over his remains, arid each year as Me- monal dav comes little children hear the father asked. \"For the sarne reason that other men are doing the same th'ihg. Besides, it looks to me .that a family of five men ought to produce one soldier.\" \"Yes, it does look that way,\" said his j story of the young soldier whose grave is mother, in a hard, unnatural tdhe, \"and I marked by a tall monument and a flag 1 don't see how any of the others could j staff, where the colors are always kept be spared.

Joe's face was very near her own. The twilight was deepening. Their lips met, and each felt that this was their betrothal. And so it came 10 pass that within six months from the time of the chance meeting in the shadow of the hedge, Joe Hillis came home from Bradley looking very thoughtful. Alter supper he remarked: ���'I enlisted today, and I'm going into camVp the first of the week.\" ������You've enlisted!\" Jack exclaimed. \"What sort, of rdt are you giving us? They -couldn't take you?\" \"Well, they have taken me, anyway,\" ,J unanswered.\" \"I belong to Terry's 'cay-.' alrv?'\" \"''\"'\" ������������������'��������� ' \" After Joe waVgdne he was missed by j neglected Joe!

His elder bro- tliprs found it to be a continual joke that Joe had gone to be a sdldier,but declared that it \\vas not a bad idea. Some of the family ought to go. From general appearances the war was likely to last for sd'me time. : There were letters, dutiful and kindly, from, Joe to his father and mother. To his brothers , he sent messages which were received. with broad smiles and such exclamations as \"Who'd 'a' believed,^?\" \"Joe a soldier!\" \"Think of Joe being so far from home!\" After a time he . mentioned skirmishes and battles he had been in. Once he was wounded and wrote from a hospital. Misname was in the newspaper lists. After seeing his name in print, Joe's family Knew' that he was no longer a private. He was mentioned as Lieutenant Joseph Hillis. There was a general pause in the family conversation. Dr. Hill it*; was the first One to speak. \"Well, who'd V believed it of Joe?\" Th'e mother said, \"Since' he was the only one that could be spared, I'm gla.d he's doing so well.\" And,the father w6;n-* dered for a moment. No One\". had said' that Joe was doing well ot his wounds. Then it dawned upon him that his wife meant their son was doing well to be promoted. Shortly Joe was back again to camp and field life, and soon after 'ciuiifi'news of the battle of the Wilderness\"���-news' in the public way, but no letter from Joe. , .

The air was warm enough to feel like spririgiand cool enough to make a fire in the old fireplace pleasant enough, while the outside doors'stbod open. There was a step on the porch. Mr- Hillis rose and met at the doOr a man in soldier blue. His face was pale and thin and his right arm was in a sling. \"You don't know me?\" he said smiling; a'nd then Mi*. Hillis recognized Jim Smalley. who had none into the army with Joe.' He was warmly welcomed, but he respoiicied1 coldly,.'they thought, and he was very'seridus' fdf'Jim Smalley.

Lysander John Appleton spends his evenings huddled over tne dining- room fire, ani he sleeps in a cold bedroom because he can't afford to burn any more, wood- In the parlor of the Apple, ton house, however, a bright, cheery lire burns every evening*, and young men find it so comfortable that they make it their loafing place all through the winter. The Appleton .-girls pile the fuel on with a generous hand, and though Lysander John grumbles, it has no effect. The young squirts who call are nothing to him; they would make poor husbands if his daughters married them, and Lysander John can't afford the fuel and gas, but Mrs. Lysander John Appleton says these rights are \"due\" the girls. If there is anything \"due\" the father, he will have to go to !ieaven to get it.
