The Great Mica Deposits to the Norjh of Revelstoke.���������An Extensive Area of High Grade Crystals, Which Produce Mica Sheets-, of Large Size. Great Transparency and High Heat Resis- ance. Across through fine valleys and magnificent scenery, the trail continues to the old historic Indian village of Tete Jaiine Cache. The glory of this old trapping and Hudson Bay centre has long departed, but attention is returning to it, by reason I of the discovery of large deposits of the finest mien, known by the Indians and trappers for many years to exist in the mountains, bub the extent of which is undetermined. Exploration;, recently, undertaken through the 'energy, in the first place of the late Victor Gtiillaume, and subsequently through Mr. John T. Smith, show they embx*ace an area of some 20 miles running in a southeasterly to a. northwesterly direction, with a dip to the west. Development work has also been prosecuted with a view to the qualitytind size ol\" the crystals.- This work has proven highly satisfactory, and crystals in blocks have been secured, weighing from 25 to' SOD pounds, - This being surface, work. however, the percentage of clean crystals was not as high as what might be reasonably expected at a greater depth. The yield can be fairly set down1 as one in eight. Eight tons of rough mica will priiduce one ton of clear merchantable mineral, Last 'summer four men mined three tons in eleven working days, from which 050 pounds of mineral, split and cut to sizes were, shipped tint, ranging in size from 2x4 to 10x15 inches.. As the demand for this mineral is increasing with the advance in* electricity.' these deposits bid fair to beconis tin active factor in the mica market.- Tests made of the mica a few months back showed that -it contained greater transparency with higher ..heat r'esist- 'ance than tiny mica on tlio market.��������� Province. - ' Is Still Unknown and No Official News Has Been Published NOTHINC NEW AT COLESBERG Report of the Bombardment of Lady- - smith Denied By the Daily Chronicle - Correspondent.���������Orange, Free State Officials Preparing to Evacuate Bloem- fontein.���������Reported Attack on a Dutch Cruiser By a British Warship in Delagoa Bay.

London, Jan 8���������The first account giving any explanation of Bullet-'-* defeat at Tugela lust month comes'by mail from Betinet, the Daily Telegraph correspondent. It appears that the battle orders were drawn up by Gen. Clery, who provided for an effective support of tlie artillery hy Hart's, Barton's and Dundonald's brigades. These orders were never completed. Hart missed his way, Dundonald failed to support unci Barton got part of his force in an untenahle position. Col. Long with tho artillery outpaced the escort ot his guns and they were lost. Briefly that 'seems to be the story'of Tugela Kiver. The ' correspondent s-iys that at 0:25 there suddenly burst an awful cuish of Boer musketry upon the batteries and, infantry. Tlie rattle of the Mausers swelled and was maintained as one continuous roar. From the buildiniss | unci the line of trenches sooth of the' river and from the river bank itself the Boers fired at our gunners and footmen and from the ..trenches on the northern side of the Tugela Kiver and from Fort Wilie and elsewhere sent out ii hurricane of leaden hail and the bullets venomously rained upon the ground iu all directions, raising puffs of dust and tearing through the air with shrill sounds.

', ^Nominations\" for City Council. . Proceedings at the city clerk's office on Monday during the nomination were quiet but interesting. It looked at first as if the whole council would be elected by acclamation and the only, contest will he, between F. Mc- Carty and A. N. Smith for the mayoralty.* -But a hitch occurred in Wajd 3. John Ahriiha'mson and S. Needham were, duly nominated for the ward; but the. city , solicitor decla\"red that Mr. Needham could not qualify. ,_The only piece . of registered property owned hy him being assessed at S000 and,there being a, registered encim- byatice against it.sufficient to bring the value of-his .unencumbered registered property, below the $500 mark, Mr. Needham could not run. This being explained to the re.sidents*of No. 3 ward present, and us time was drawing short, it was a case of hustle to get a man. Some of them went, for C, Holten, others ran in search . of Mr. Needham, and iu the meanwhile it was arranged hy those remaining in the office that T. J. .Graham should leave Ward 2 to 'W. S. Needham and come out for Wnrd 3. Time drew on. Mr. Needham appeared and was h'ud to convince. Mr. Holten came in at the last minute too late to get the necessary papers nia\"de-\"ouK-r\"At^the very last Mr. Needham refused point blank to withdraw, the consequence being that a contest will be required in Ward 3, us well as for the mayoralty.

Already more than 0000 men havo been heard from, and .the minister's mail gots heavier every day. It may he that many who went Willi tho first expedition did not expect u> fight. But Uiose who now apply do so with the lull knowledge that they are ottering- thoir lives tor the maintenance of the power o������ Britain in South Africa. Tho minister who fists, \"What has Canada to do with the affairs of Africa?\" has his answer in bushels and bushels of letters which are accumulating in the department of militia and overflowing into the corridors and threatening to bury the clerks under a mound of stationery. They come from Canadians who think they have everything to do with every part of the empire which needs assistance. Mr. Tarte is not quite so profuse with his rhetorical questions as he has been. He also is learning his lesson. But he is still ablo to explain to his compatriots that the Canadian government waited until the last of the other colonies were- to the front, and that while sho is doing something, it is relatively less than the others, and much less than tho .English speaking Canadians wanted lo do. made Bpecial arrangements for Mr. Healy's arrival. When the train rolled into the station bands of music were waiting, and an escort headed by Parnell himself waited on tho platform. After a moment's delay the train started again, but among the passengers, who alighted Mr. ileaiy could not be found. Just as the delegation headed back for the town, a tall, fresh-faced man rushed up to Parnell and grasped his hand. \"I'm here,' he said. \"You've hold the meeting off for me, I suppose? \"We postponed the meeting,\" returned the Irish leader wiiu frigid politeness, \"for Mr. Timothy Michael Healy, of the County-of Louth.'' \"That's all right. I'm not '.liin Healy. Im only Bill Healy of the Irisn Time3,. If I'd got beaten, on this Parnell meeting I'd been fired, so 1 wired. I suppose,' he added, 'you're a bit annoyed because I'm not a member of Parliament?\" \"Well, Healy,\" returned Parnell, ���������'I am ������ little, but 1 must admit mat if you were a member you would make a good one.' . COMPANY. H^art pflice, Toronto. Capital Authorized, - $2,500,000.00 Capital Paid Up, - $2,311,034.00 Rest, - ��������� $1,502,172.00 CHANGES IN TUK MINISTRY arrange- a weanness on his MR. SIFT0N. The minister of the interior has only one explanation t������ offer for the collapse of his party and his cause in Manitoba. He says it was due to lack of organization. If Mr. S-'iflon means that it was due to disorganization and general disaffection lie is probably right. If be refers to want of ordinary campaign ments he admits own part. Mr. Sifton spent wesks in Manitoba preparing the people for the contest. It was only when he and the local government had satis- fled themselves that all was ready that they issued the writs giving the shortest possible notice to the other Bide. Mr. Sifton' statement is al30 a confession of weakness in his department. A brigade of the officers of the interior department operated in the campaign as electioneers. They canvassed: They made election cr- rangements. They performed the duties assigned in Ontario to Mr. Preston's threshing machine. One of them was arrested for bribing electors. Whether they can be connected with the alleged attempt to \"switch\" votes remains to be seen. The general impression is that Mr. Sifton is too modest. His organizaion work waa up to the highest machine standard. Only the people of Manitoba ic- fused to be organized according to instructions. Sir Wilfrid seems also to have contributed an organizer. About the time that Mr. Itussell, the London, solicitor for the Dominion, went to Rome and made his representations to Cardinal Rampolla, papal secretary of state, on behalf of the premier, Sir Wilfrid sent a political friend to Manitoba from Quebec. Sir Wilfrid caused his counsel to inform the Vatican that only the first instalment of justice had been rendered to the Roman Cahollcs In Manitoba, but that others would be paid. It seems that the ' political gentleman from Quebec was instructed to make a payment; for Mr. Greenway at once gave hint a position as superintendent or inspector with power to deal with schools in the French and Roman Catholic districts. It is said that the school law has been virtually set aside in some of those places. When the late campaign began the duties of this officer became entirely political. He went around the French speaking districts, and ignoring Greenway altogather, told the people they must vote for Laurier, and he would gee that they had their own schools. It is said that as election day approached he invited the teachers of those schools to take a holiday and go around the i-is- tricts explaining to the people that It was necessary for them to etipport Mr. Laurier. Those efforts are said to be rather effective. At all events the Quebec organizer of Sir Wilfrid boasts thst not 10 per cent of tho French people in Manitoba voted Conservative. It will be remembered that the election in the riding of Dauphin was deferred for a week. The educational official from Quebec 'i-UBhednntc^D-auphin and spent the interval in that constituency, where there is a considerable voto.whlch he was expected to influence, and with which he was apparently successful. But in spile of all Greenway must go. He is said to be packing up previous to bis departure for Ottawa ���������vhero he will engage in the work of reforming the Senate. OUR SOLDIERS PAY. When Parliament assembles next month Sir Charles Tuppor will without delay move that the members of the Canadian contingent who arc now serving in South Africa as well as tho men who are now leaving for tho front shall be maintained and paid by Canada, and not, as they ar*; at present, bo chargeable to the home government. Tho leader of the opposition has already announced his intention, but the present indication.-; are that the government will endeavor to rehabilitate themselves in the eyes of the country by anticipating his action. The policy of Sir Charles has already been adopted with regard to the offering of the first coniingent. Sir Wilfrid was forced to artopt il again in the offering of a second contingent, 'so that it is not at ail unlikely that he will go a step further and humbly aiuept the advice of Sir Charles with regard to the payment of the men. He has already gone so far as to agree that t^e pay of the regulars and Mounted Police shall be continued at the current rales while they are serving abroad, 'ihe Canadian rate of pay being higner than the Imperial rate, it is mnounc- ed that the men are to be continued on the higher scale, the home government contributing a shilling a day, and the Canadian government tue balance. The government, is therefore today committed to the partial payment .,r a part of the Canadian forces whiic serving in South Africa. Every self- respecting Canadian however fecls that Canada should not only supply the men, and help to pay some of them, but that she should undertake to pay them all. This is a matter which Sir Wilfrid will have to decide between Air. Tarte and his disciples on the one side and the loyal and patriotic peopleof Canada on the other. Tho report that Mr. Tarto and Sir llonry Joly aro about to retire from the cabinet is given in some journals friendly to the government. There is reason to believe that Sir Henry will bo crowded out. He is a line old gentleman who was never suspected of a disposition towards ooociling. For this reason, perhaps, he has no influence and no pull. Ho is French, but he is not a Roman Catholic, and Mr. Tarte, when he speaks in Quebec of the French element in the cabinet always omits the name of Joly. It is suggested that Sir Henry Joly may be made speaker of the -senate, and that his place will be filled by ihe appointment of a Tarte man. Mr. Tarte is in bad health. If he steps out it will be because he Is not physically strong enough to stand the strain. But in any case his retirement will only be temporary, in case he regains strength.

Yet the government does not allow Itself to be carried away by\" over enthusiasm. In response to the demand that S0������0 Canadians shall be allowed to go the government decides to organize a force of 1050.\" Tho\" -tame old conditions are made as to pay. From the date of the arrival of the corps in Africa, the soldiers are to bo paid by the^horne government. Until 'they, arrive the Canadian government will pay them the rate allowed to the permanent force. In other words the C.O.D. arrangement under which the first, corps was shipped is repeated. It is understood that Mr. Tarte has renewed bis fight against Canadian interference in the foreign wars of England. Ho seems to have failed in so far as he attempted to prevont the organization of a second corps, but he has been successful in the effort to stop the payment of the men of Canada at tho moment of their landing in Africa. Mr. Tarte- and those who agree with him. were also able to cause tho finance minister to withdraw from the arrangement about to bo mode for tho insurance of the lives of the men at the expense of the government By this achiove- jnent the relatives of two volunteors, who have died since the corps went *way, have been deprived of the sum of $1000, which would,have been payable In each case. While Mr. Tarte allows the second corpe to be raised, ho may find Borne satlEfaction in the fact that Australia, with less population than Canada, aria a third less military establishment. Is sendinc more thin double the force that Canada sends. ���������_\"Of course,\" says a .wxttnr, in ihr,.

The government, however, is still earnestly endeavoring to preserve correct relations. No answer that 'is considered satisfactory has been received from Lendou and according to advices here none is expected for several days longer. Today's news, however, induced the German government to send\"another protest to Loudon. * As significant of the intensity of Germany's indignation against Great Britain in this matter is the declaration published today by tho Gorman Colonial society, among whose 80,000 members are a ��������� number of reigning German prince*, which says: ' \"Great Britain's recent proceedings . against German vessels are an out-l rage. The fact remains that the' small respect which the British people feel, -for Germany because of her deficiency as a naval prower has taken such a deep root that the commanders of .the British warships hasten to commit'breaches of \"international rights as long as only Germany is thereby touched. -This lack of fear to touch the German flag must bo - thoroughly and ' speedily eefen to^' Vienna, Jan. 5.���������Tho Vienna Alle- gemere Zeitung says: .\"It looks as if Great Britain cared less for the cargo in question than for the demonstrating befoie the world that although most unlucky on land she is the unchallenged mistress of tbo sea.

Tho foreign onlco, according to this official, has not yet, concluded that Great Britain Is trying to ride rough shod over Germany.

And the worst of it was that when he came home into from the lodge ho would snore the loudedt and mutter in his sleep about \"kittles\" and \"Jackpots,\" \"full-houses\" and \"straights,\" till sho becmiio alarmed lent he was losing his mind.

When sweet little cherubs would come to bless their home, how would it be possible to hush them to sleep when the paternal nasal bugle would be sounding loud \"enough to blow down the walls of Jericho. .

The demand for the Ferguson edition of the Revelstoke. Herald has been great, letters being received daily at the office from points in Eastern Uan- daa and the United States for copies of the edition. Dr. Paget announced last Sunday that the bishop of the diocese has named P-tlrn Smiday, April 8. as the date of his visitiatinn of St. Peter's. He will administer the rite of c'onflrnia- t.ion on that date. X The annual general meeting of the hoard of trade will he held in the boHvd'rooni on Tuesday the ICth at 8 o'clock in the evening. A full attendance is requested. The Kootenay teachers convention . for 1900, which was to have heen held in Rossland early this month has heen postponed until April and will be held at the same time as the provincial teachers' association is in session at Victoria. Mayor McCarty is railing a public meeting tonight at S o'clock in tlie opera house to discuss various matters of interest in connection with the business nf the city. He has invited Mr. A. N. Smith and his friends to he present. The fire alarm system has been installed as far as the Front street tire hall is concerned and has heen . inspected by the council. It works very well, hut the gong will not give enough of an iilarm inside the building where it is nt present, and should be placed under the roof outside to be of any use.

At the opening of his speech the Lieutenant-Governor referred in glowing terms to the outburst of Imperial patriotism which the present war has evoked in every portion of the Empire and further transmitted a note, for the consideration of the house proposing that British Columbia otter a company of mounted men with transportation to the point of embarkation for service with the Canadian contingent in the Transvaal. This message was put in the form of a motion hy the premier and seconded by the leader of the opposition and carried unanimously. This is the first offer of the kind made by any province and in making it British Columbia has set an example to her sister provinces, which is likely to he followed. The Dominion authorities, though they have done excellent work in organizing the two Canadian contingents, are likely to find the enthusiasm of the province outstrip their somewhat limited ideas of the duty of the Dominion in this great struggle for empire.

Among the unexpended items in the public accounts for this year the sum of ,$3918.23 figures opposite the item of Road���������Revelstoke to canyon of Columbia river. This is the amount which should have been spent on the completion of the canyon wagon road and which owing to Mr. Kellie's efforts was not spent. It wns not spent because Mr. Kellie professed to think that it would be better for the. district if the amount was utilized to build trails in the Big Bend. He persuaded a number of people in town to vote against havingthnt money put into the completion of the wagon road on this very plea. He, pledged himself that if the wagon road was not completed this money should he spent on building and .extending -trails in the. Big Bend district. He told the board of trade that he had received a distinct promise from Mr. Cotton that if this appropriation was not expended on completing the wagon road it, should be expended on the trails. It is impossible to get at the facts of the case from the public works report, whether this was done or not. But considering to what an extent Mr. Kellie has pledged hoth himself and the government, which he supports, that it should bedone, it seems to the Herald that it would be now in order for him to make :i statement throwing some light on the matter. The columns of the IIf.ka.ld are always open to Mr. Kellie whenever lie. wishes to give his constituents any information on this subject.
