IN ASHES. International Hotel Burned. Together With Three Other Buildings. LOSS ESTIMATED $20,000. Heroic Work of Fire Brigade Saved 1 the Town--Scenos and Incidents.

Inside of two minutes after0the alarm was sounded the tiro brigade was on the ground and had streams of water on the fire. Lt was to their heroic efforts that the town "was saved. The principal''sufferers were Geo. Shier, the owner of the International, whose loss exceeds $8,000���insured for s:J,000; C. A.' Klingens'milh, loss $1000���insured for ��400; T. C.

He brought with him.some tine samples of ore from a location.made by him on July 17th.. The claim is located at the head of Law creek, adjoining the Silver Thread group on the east, and about one-half miles east of the Red Line. ' He says.it is a splendid surface showing, and there i.s a carload of high grade ore on the surface. He lias named the claim Victim. . ��� Specimens from 120 mines in the Ainsworth. Slocan.

He returned on' Thursday bringing with hi in a piece of quart/, from the Pollow claim, which shows a number of pieces of gold embedded in its surface. Hank says that he believes that he has a good thing. Tho claim is owned by himself and Dan Munroe. .;���' Mr. Woodford, of Woodford & Roland, of the International hotel Wardner, outfitted at the Fort Steele Mercantile Co's store on Thursday, and went out lo do assessment work on his claim situated7011 Wild Horse creek. In order to carry out its proposed works the Kootenay Rail- International and it counted a total loss 'for Mr. Shier." ' , "It isathe first fire of any magnitude which has visited Fort Steele, and "the streets were t thronged with-people, and all of the male population were engaged in saving property. That the Oriental was not destroyed was due to the tire brigade, whose efforts. ' when it was apparent that the International and adjoining buildings could not be saved, were directed to saving the buildings opposite, the in lianiable nature of the buildings making it herculean task, but it was accomplished and the loss was mostly from water. Scenes and Incidents. There was ' no great excitement. The members, of the brigade worked like beavers, and received commendation from all of the citizens. Many of the tireinen rushed into tlie Hames enveloped in wet blankets, while some were somewhat scorched. H. W. Barnes, chief of the tire brigade, wa.s ubiquitous, he.judiciously directing the streams of water, and to him is'largely due the credit of saving other buildings from destruction. Tho men under him obeyed instructions implicitly. The porter of the hotel wa.s burned about the head but not seriously injured. There were no other accidents reported. How the fire originated no one seems lo know, as the Hues in the portion of the building where the lire started are all of brick. Smoke was lirst discerned issuing from the attic, and it is thought it started betweon the two buildings comprising tho hotel. One individual whose name could not be ascertained rushed out upon the porch shortly after the alarm was given, clad in his how lighting "lire should be done. One man, an old fireman, said: "I never saw such good and effective work done by an unorganized tire brigade. , It was marvellous, and would have done credit lo veterans. If it had not been for the ample supply of water furnished by the waterwork. the entire business portion of the town would have been destroyed. The pressure was kept up as long as needed. '' . Ready For Business. , In les.-> than one hour after the tire T.i 0. Armstrong*, who had partially removed ,his effects across the" street, opened, up and was transacting business. ' lnjx very short time M. A. Beale. agent���i'or-thV Dominion Express Company', was opened up and ready for business. E. A Elton during the lire was here tliere"*and everywhere. He did effective work. , There is some talk of putting the money collected for the horse races into the fund' for better fire protection. A NEW EXPLOSIVE. That Can Be Handled Danger. ' Without AN INDIAN INVASION. More Than 200 Stoney Indians Pass' .Through Port Steele on Their Way to the Reserve. On Thursday last a band of [ndians of the Mountain Stoney tribe, from Morleyville. Alberta', passed .through town on their way to pay their tri-annual, visit to*their friends the Koot'enays, on the St. Mary's reserve. There were about 40 lodges, probably 20n' Indians, and 1000 horse's. ;Thcy.,will remain three or four days ' before- returning " home. Their'journey was up to* the head of High river, over, the Kananaskis pass aud down 'the Palliser'river to the Kootenay. ��� ;-At home these Indians are under the charge of Rev. JohnMc- Dougall and Rev. Mr. Stennhaut of the Methodist mission at Morleyville, both of whom.are zeal-' ous missionaries. The Indians are industrious loyal and peaceable. Their origin is somewhat obscure, some claiming they are an offshoot of the Kootenays. Major Culbertson who traded with the Bloods and' Blackfeet more than sixty years ago. said they belong to the great Sioux nation. While they understand the Cree and Blaek��eet languages, their own laniruase is entire- ly different. It is not often that the people of Fort Steele are treated to the sight of so many Indians. A new explosive that has lately been discovered is claimed as one' of the best for mining purposes yet known, and from' the tests which have been made it would appear ��� as though the claims were well founded. It is said to have a greater explosive force than dynamite or nitro-gly- cerine and still i.s absolutely safe. ' The 'Seven Devil's Standard has the following to say concerning, a test of the powder, which was lately made in that district- ��� "First a large amount of the ex- plosive was 2?laced on anvil and struck with a sledge without having any effect whatever; second a burning match was thrown into a box full-of the'powder; third, a large amount of powder was'placed beside of and not ,to exceed one foot away from some more powder to 'which a fuse was attached and ignited. ' "After the explosion we found that only the powder in which the fuse was buried had cxplod: ed, and that tho other while it, had blown some distance, was' not affected in the least. A small amount of this new explosive was then placed upon a boulder some IS'or 20 inches in diameter and then exploded. Although the powder was entirely uncon- fined, it broke the rock in several pieces. "Moisture has no effect on the explosive, and altogether it is the best and safest explosive1 for mining purposes which has "yet been discovered.'."

" r ' l There wa.s .much explaining after the fire, iind niitcli talk of Prospector Drowned. Speeinl io'I'iik I'kmspkutok. Windermere, Aug. 2d.���On Sunday at 10 o'clock a. m.. while crossing the Kootenai'- river, at the ford at Sinclair Pass, ,loe Garand fell from his horse and was drowned. He was accompanied by William Goundlay and Lee Crockett. The party loft Okotoks, Alberta, for Findlay creek, in the Windermere mining district, where they intended doing the assessment work on two claims which they located during the,season of 1W)8. Garand is a native of St. Lawrence Quebec, and has two brothers living in Montreal. Goundlay and Crockett spent a day searching for the body of their partner, but it was of no avail. Their provisions running short they came on to Windermere, and left for l-'indlay creek on fhe 27th. It i.s understood thai Garand's brothers are very well to do in Montreal. Th�� Rambler.

One of our citizens was sweetly- sleeping a few nights ago, dreaming that he had struck a gold mine and was taking out the yellow metal by the 'sack full, when suddenly he was aroused by a terrific noise on the board walk-. He flew to the window and saw a horse in the yard regaling himself with the sweet peas. Rushing out of the house clad only in his robe du noit and a pair of slippers, ho gave chase to the most preverse equine that ever lived. It was raining. First that horse bolted for the lawn, then into the potato patch, down through the-orchard and into the melon field, with our brave citizen in full pursuit, his drapery liy ing in the breeze, through mud puddles.

The close ,of the session of Parliament, ��� actually /lie fourth session but for prac- iaical purposes the third only, under the present administration��� it may be profitable lo take stock in a, general way of Iho position ���of the Government in relation to the platform upon which it appealed to the electorate in 1896, ���ihat we may ascertain- to what -extent anti-election.' promises have been respected and .-fulfill- ���'���&d. ��� This is a useful exercise: at iiny time, but. particularly so just now, because, the Opposi-. tion have persistently reiterated pfche assertion that tlie Grovern- ���ment has not kept its anti-elec- so adjusted as to make free, or to 'bear as lightly as -possible ���upon the necessaries,of life, and .should be so-arranged as lo promote freer trade with the whole world, more particularly with Groat Britain and the, United States. What has been the trade policy of the Government since assuming,control of the affairs of the Dominion? Substantial roduc- tion.s were made in many lines of importation, and far more would have been made but for the artificial conditions that had been created by the ultra-protective policy of the,previous eighteen years, which made it impossible to introduce those drastic changes which the full operation of the- principal of-i Liberalism would have reriViired, without doing "injustice to any .class". But that the new policy has ^.'promoted domestic and foreign trade and hastened the, return of pros- perity ' to ��� our people"' _su.rely_ needs no demonstration in view Of the TBEMKXDOfS AND UNT- PliEClODENTED INCREASE ill the commerce of the Dominion of nearly one hundred million dollars in three years. The trade statistics wilj, also prove to a demonstration that the new j-jolicy has "promoted freer trade with the whole world", while an examination of tho details will show ' that increase has been "more particularly with Great Britain and the United States". Surely it i.s equally obvious to tlie most superficial observer that the policy which has encouraged the manufacturer to vastly extend his operations, that has induced the 'merchants to launch out into new channels, that has made it possible for the fanner to increase his stock and generally to improve his hold- 'ing, may reasonably lay claim to being a '"sound fiscal policy." So far then as carrying out the undertakings of this first plank) no reasonable uaan could ask more within the time that the Government has had power 1o_ act; it is not pretended that the work is completed: much remains to be done, but the Government has shown that it realizes the .necessity of making haste' .slowly, thereby gaining the '.confidence of the.business community, which has with marvellous appreciation responded 'to'the improved condition of af fairs. I will consider the other planks';of- the Liberal, platform in iny next letter. -' 7 ftir Tiolit Hydraulic SPECIAL .JOB AVOKK. i'Iol BlnsD Stoves i'ipo.-i for a mi -Air Mini's ATTIC.YTIOX 1'AID TO | il*" VOL" WANT A ooou .mi:.\l i ' I I " , Go to'llie I MONTE CARLO RESTAURANT On Riverside Avenue William Robinson, Proprietor mi-: a i.s .vr all iioriis.

REPORT OF THE MINISTER OF MINES FOR 1896. Perry Creek. ���Considerable excitement has !lhe creek. Tlie Hon. Col. Baker I did visil Perry Creek during the [year and the report wns, taken 1 us the result of operations of Mr. Hard man and his associates. This being the case, th" report should bo lakcTi t itm f/rmiti satis. Col.

Hardmans Mill creek: which flows into Perry'creek, 'a tributary of tho St. Mafry's river and a stream much waslied in the seven ties for placer gold, two'or- three miles above which placer ground, or by roads and trails 2f> to ���'!'> miles westerly from Cranbrook. these quart/, leads are now located. For five miles- west and. two Operations Ori Perry Croek. In IM.in -Prof, .lohn "B. Hard- man in company with Mr.--������- visited Perry creek and after a, careful ���xamination of several properties made i\ favorable report, on the strength of which a number of claims were bonded for the sum ? 1"),000; \. several months later they were,, rebond- J11 cleaning up tlie plates after the run'of the two ton test there wa.s found a quantity of some substance supposed to be gold, (this mass was as much as could be held in both hands) this however proved to be tlie brass nozzle oL the hose which had been lost during the test.' Therefore, this run was practically valueless. Another incident occurred during the period of making the tests. One of Mr. I-Iardman's associates discovered a peculiar iron in fhe mortar, and; proceeded to make an assay to ascertain rif it, contained gold. When tho assay was coinplet.nd.he remarked: -'Tliis is the d dest iron 1 ever saw.*" An old miner who was on }ho ground replied: "How in h���11 did you cx}>>ot to get gold from Nova Scotia east iron." The mill was from. Nova Scotia, and the iron proved to be scales from the stamps. Many other instances could be enumerated, showing the 3K.cn- liar manner in which the tests were conducted. Any disinterested person visiting Perry creek- to day to make an examination of the1'tailings of this mill, can find amalgam containing gold as far as the tailings extend. And lhe pulp under the mortar beds is still there, and stands a* a monument, to tho incompetence of those engaged as principals in making the tests of Perry creek ore. In 1898 W. F. Roberson the provincial mineralogist, who succeeded1 Mr. Carlyle, made a thorough examination of Perry creek. In company with several practical mining men he made an examination of the tailings from the Hardman mill and found amalgam containing gold. In conversation with the editor of The Puo.si-1'Xjtou Mr. Robertson said: "Gold in amalgam could be traced fhe full extent of the tailings." Tho following is from the, report of the Minister, of Mines for 1898, which bears Out the foregoing statements: REPORT! OF THE MINISTER OF MINES FOR 1898. Mill Teats.

Of this J know nothing further , than was'told me by men who might be considered "interested', parties". , ,'���'���'' Tt Avas. of course, impossible for me to form any opinion as to. how the mill had been run. except by testing the, tailings, which I did insthe presence of 'a " well-known' engineer and mill man, Mr. Farrell; of, San Fx'ancisco. who likewise made, several independent tests for his own information. The fail- ings from' the mill had been run down to tho creek bottom, sonie J 00 feet, over gravel, and had been subjected ' to a winter's snow and rain. I panned the mixed gravel and tailings over all this distance, and in each pan I found 1 could save, besides the iron sulphides to be expected, a globule of mer- . cury as large as the head of a match, and a string of amalgam in the bottom of the pan from a quarter to half an inch long. On driving off the mercury on a hot iron I found I had a very fair sized particle of gold. 1 collected some of o the mercury and .amalgam, which 1 turned over lo the Provincial Assayor, who re- porls to me that the'inetal carries over two per eon I of gold, while the "black sand" contains !?i'O.O0 in gold and a trace of silver. Samples of the tailings which 1 took" gave me on assay as high as ��1.00 in gold. As a result of my investigation I am satistied that the mill did not save such free gold as may have been in the ores, and that the tests made were not. conclusive as lo the value of these properties. [ am further satisfied thai only a portion of the gold is "free"', and that, some method of concentration would have to be adopted to save the gold in the iron sulphides. The mode of occurrence and the great strengt h and permanence o! the ledges on Perry creek, taken in connection with the fact that gold occurs in all of taheni, makes this creek well worth the attention of a strong prospecting company, as the work is of sucli.a, character as to be too expensive for the majority of fhe claims. . Since the stamp mill tests wore, made public a great majority of claims have been allowed to lapse, and the remaining* claim holders seem inclined to listen to any proposition which will enable them lo prove up their N.
