The Tribune was published in Nelson, in the Central Kootenay region of southeastern British Columbia, and ran from November 1892 to November 1905. The Tribune was published and edited by John Houston, an outspoken journalist who would later embark on a successful political career, which included four terms as the mayor of Nelson and two terms in the provincial legislature. Houston had established the Miner in Nelson in 1890, and, after leaving the Miner in the summer of 1892, he established the Tribune to compete with his former paper. In August 1901, the title of the paper was changed to the Nelson Tribune.

Peter Larson <fc Co., who have the contract i'or building the Nelson & Fort Sheppard railway, have men at work on the south end of the line and will have men at the north end within, thirty days.

Wal'O- houses and for supplies that must of necessity be purchased from local dealers. He said that he expected to have no difficulty in completing the work on time, even if the .spring was backward and the weather unfavorable. The main difficulty to. contend against in such undertakings" was scarcity of labor; but this year there would be no scarcity, as" little railroad work is being done in the neighboring states to the south. Last year he had a contract to build eighty miles of the Great Northern in the Cascade mountains, and while both labor and the weather had to be contended with, he had no difficulty in completing his contract on time. His firm lias the contract for building the road entire. It is understood that the bridging lias been subbed to Porter Brothers of San Francisco and that sub-contractors will get a show to do a share of the grading. Larson & Co. will furnish all supplies, and now have an agent in Toronto and Montreal making purchases. A large warehouse for the supplies is being erected near the Columbia 6c Koolenay freight depot at Nelson. The engineers under Mr. ShaAv are still engaged in running preliminary lines, and have their headquarters at "Bbgustowu." The difficulty is in getting down to the water front at Nelson by an easy grade Avithout running up the outlet a long distance. One of the lines ran .went up Arery near to Five-Mile point. NAKUSF'S BOOM. in and destroy many houses and much- property. A fire has also been burning in the SilA'er Bow, one of the great mines at Butte, Montana, and although no outside property is in danger, several lives have been loi��t. This fire lias been so far extinguished as to give an opportunity of searching i'or the imprisoned miners. At the 100-foot station the dead bodies of Ave men wore found at different places, some badly burned. This station is 100 feet above whore thoy were avIicu' the fire started. The bodies recovered Avere: Ed- AArord Pasooo, Richard Andrews," l3A*en Pugh, Antonio Biavo, and James Nath'o. Four men are still below the 500 level. From that point to the 700 the mine is filled Avith water. The remaining bodies cannot be reached for several days. Thoy are: Thomas Gray, Richard Trcmbath, Frank Girard, and Simon Bovette. DISCOVERED BY ACCIDENT. NEW DENVER NOTES. It Will Not Be as Lasting, However, as That or XSMSlO. The toAvn of Nakusp, on the eastern shore of Lower Aitoav lake, is having a boom. This boom is not the result of tho finding of any deposits of miueral near tho place, or because of the establishment of any industrial enterprises there. lb is simply a toAvn-lot boom, the lobs haA-ing been giAren a speculative value by their OAvners securing advantageous railroad legislation. The railroad legislation was so advantageous that a raihvay, having one of its termini at Nakusp and the other somewhere in Slocan district, Avill be built this summer. The owners of the Nakusp toAvnsite will profit by the building of this road, as the base of operations must be at the Nakusp end. This fact alone AArill catch the aA'erage town-lob buyer, as he has neither the time no.r tho understanding to do more than gamble on the chances of .���unloading; at a price higher than at which he purchases. Although the advantageous railway leg- . is.tion was secured less than> two weeks s ago, OA-er -100 lots have already been sol d��� every one of them to people on the coast. As the toAvnsite can be made to embrace thousands of acres, the 'supply of lots AAill always be equal to the demand. The town- site is eligibly situated���as is eA-ery town- site in west Kootenay district���and the mines in Slocan district can be reached Avithiu thirty to forty miles. It is owned jointly by the Nakusp ���Development Com.' pany and the Columbia & Kootenay Railway Company. At -present there are about thirty buildings in the place. -The "Tribune. ..predicts .that Nakusp's boom will not be as lasting as that of Kaslo's, for the simple reason that it is too far distant from tiie industries at which men are and. will be employed, and it is almost a sure thing that tho owners of the toAvnsite Avill not create industries���for that is not in their line. Wants to Join the Presbyterian Church. A pretty good story is going the rounds about a Avell-known prospector and mine- owner who at one time made his headquarters at Ainsworth. He was brought up a good Presbyterian and never uses cuss words stronger than "by gracious." He was out at Spokane last Aviuter, and, of course, took in the churches and never looked near the variety, theatres or other resorts of the ungodly. One night while on theAvay to his room Avith a friend from attendance at Spokane's most fashionable place of Presbyterian Avorship he began moralizing, and actually longed for closer affiliation with the church. He said to his friend, "By gracious, Tom, if I was clear of them Avild cats up at Ainsworth I would settle here and joiu the church." Mines on Fire. One of the dangers to be contended against in deep mines is fire. The timber in the underground workings of one of the great Homestake mines near Dead- wood, South Dakota, is now cm fire,.and fears are felt that before it can be got under control the ground on Avhich part pf the town ��t tho uiine is built will cave --Aiu-illT.���Thciu is, a limit to all things excepting the-time it takes for a mail bag to be carried from Slocan Crossing to the foot'of Slocan lake. "We have heard of several mail bags having left Kaslo for New Denver, but up to date they-have uot come to hand. J. C. Bolander is building a house 40x24 on lot 7, block 5, which he intends to open shortly as a lodging house in connection Avith "his restaurant, which adjoins his new buildiug. in the same block Charles Ay 1 win basset a good, example by clearing the sbreet in front of his lot, Avhich Avork has also been carried out by W. R. Will around his lot. We are informed on good authority that the goA'ermnenl considers that the people of New Denver should clear their own streets. Can you inform us Iioav they (the government) Avonld have us proceed to remove the log cabins which adorn the centre of Eldorado avenue? Wo have beeu requested to ask you through these columns aa'Jiether the statements in your issue of the Gth instant, under the heading of "A Timely Hint,'* Avith reference to aliens is correct? and if so, iu Avhat other states is such a law iu force? Under the same date the proposed amendments to the mineral laAV have been A-ery adversely criticised by all the prospectors. What is meant by "rock in place?" Does it mean "mineralized rock?'' is a question all ask, but none can answer. A petition was circulated for signatures requesting the chief commissioner of lands and works that the report of the committee appointed to inquire into the toAvnsite question be adopted by giving the toAvn- site to Angus McGillivray.

But can this land be called '* unoccupied and unreserved croAvu land," seeing that the government is considering two or more applications for tho purchase of the said tract of land. Ou'the Avhole, the people here are really sick of this squabbling over the townsite, and can see no good reason why a decision Avas not promptly made by the government months ago. Every day inquiries for real estate in New Denver increase, and 1 am told .that in Kaslo Denver real estate is more spoken of than that of the "Windy City.'' A NeAV Denverite ottered to bet a Avell-known Kaslo freighter that unimproved real- estate in the first named town Avoukl be of greater A'alue than that of Kaslo by Christmas next. All blocks ou Eldorac'o avenue, Avith the exception of the government resei-A-e, are now cleared. Estimated cost of clearing government reserve, $50.

Of these 109 have been alloAved to lapse for non-performance of assessment Avork, a very small proportion' seeing that it includes the suoav locations of .1891-2 and numerous would-be town- sites. Prospectors would do well to note that such names as "Fourth of July," "Hidden Treasure," "Noonday," "Sunrise," "Spokane," "Tiger," "VVebfoot," "Last Chance," etc., etc., have in each instance been given three or four times to claims in this district. The letter "S" is the initial letter of 112 claims out of the 859 above named, while "M" claims 82. ���A Great Mine Stumbled On by Two'Eoys While Hunting Horses. Of all the great showings for mines in West Kootenay, the Silver King, six miles south of Nelson, is the greatest, and its discovery Avas a. mere accident. In the fall of 1880 a party of Colville ranchmen Avere prospecting for placer ground on the creeks that form the headwaters of Salmon r'rver. For a time they were camped at a little lake on the summit of what is now called Toad Mountain and distant about a inilesoutliAvest of the Silver King ground. From this camp the party prospected a number of the small creeks in the neighborhood, but found no ground that Avould pay to work.' Discouraged, the !our|pi-c- /-il' tlifj iMirly���"\VinsIi"��"\' ��>->���'! O��iioi" Hall���concluded to break cam]) and move" down on Salmon riA-or, where there Avas ground that Avoukl pay Avages.. With that end in A'iew, bAvo boys of the party, ��� "Billy" White and. '-Tommy" Hall���were instructed to limit up the horses, Avhile the elder Halls would take a last look for pay diggings. The boys circled around the summit of the mountain in their search, and stumbled against the big croppiiigs on the Kootenay Bonanza. Neither of them kneAv anything about quartz, but-bhe peculiarly bright rainboAv colors of pieces of the croppiiigs attracted tnoir attention, and they singled out several of the brightest colored pieces to take back to the camp. On their Avay back thoy flushed a covey of grouse, aud, of course, had to stop and throw rocks at them. "Billy" laid his specimens cIoavii, aud when he had "fired" all tiie rocks iu, sight at the birds, he could nob find the specimens, and had to return to camp with but one small piece that he had put in his pocket. "Tommy" Avas more careful, and carried all his specimens into ca'mp." A feAV days later 'WinsloAv Hall returned to camp, aud ou being shown the specimens, concluded to take a look at the ground himself. The next dav .sesroral of the party Avent over and brought back several large pieces of the croppiiigs,- and the day following the party broke camp and started south for the pay diggings on Salmon river, where bhoy AA'orkod until late in the fall. On returning to.Coiville, Winslow Hall had the rock assayed, and the returns Avere so high that he determined to return in the spring and locate the ground, Avhich he did, the locations being made in July, 1887.

Tho above letter is the outcome of a liitle difliculty 1 had with Alex- 'andcr Sproat, the mining recorder at NeAA' .DeiiA'er. Avho at the time of the difficulty boasted that he had influence enough in official cheles to do me up. The difficulty arose over the fact that Mr. Sproat ai- loAved a saloonkeeper of New Denver to hold out change, ostensibly'for an old bar bill, from money that Avas handed him (Sproat)as paymentiror recording a, claim, the debt not-being due by the party oavii- ing the claini or furnishing the money, but by the man avIio happened to tender the money as agont for the other. I, at the time, criticised jMr. Sproat's action, saying that it did not appear to me to be a. part of a mining recorder's official duties to collect whisky bills. This angered Mr. Sproat, hence the threat tha the Avould use his influence in official circles against me.t Unlike Mr. Sprout, 1 do not luwe to hold office to make a living, and the government Avill not have to pass a special IaAV to legislate me out of au office, from Avhich I have never deiTved any benefit, monetary or ocherAviso.

Joe Jeannott, a mining man of Hope, Idaho, has been taking a look around Kaslo, and on his return home gave his opinions of the future of the tenvn and the number of its people. He also had opinions regarding the merits of Canadian rye whisky. His opinion about Kaslo's future may be all right, but his opinion of our Avhisky is all Avrong. Regarding the latter he'said: "Tiie Canadian Avhisky that you hear so much about! That stuff wants to be left alone. The tanglefoot on this side of the line is plenty good enough for me." Should Adopt Modern Methods. The Nakusp boom may have had a tendency to create a dullness in bhe leal estate business at Kaslo, but it has had no' appreciable effect on the volume of "the sales of general merchandise. Today nine-tenths of the supplies purchased by prospectors aud mine-OAvnersi_ prospecting and operating iu southern Kootenay are purchased in Ka.slo. NeKon Avas at one time the main supply point for this section, and Avould be today if her merchants would only drop the country crossroads way of doing business and adopt modern methods. Instead of trying to carry a little of eA'erything they should carry much of one or tAvo lines.^ Then prospectors and mine-owners, when thoy come here, could get Avhat they want and not be compelled, as they tue now, to leave with half their orders unfillod. This item may not be a good advertisement for Nelson, but if the lines indicated arc fol- loAvecl, Nelson Avill be what it should be��� the commercial center of Southern Koote- inly; if not folloAved, ibAvill be what it is fast becoming���a A-ery dull town, as compared Avith Kaslo. ; Facts and Figures. All sorts of estimates are being made as to the number of people daily arriving in the Kootenay Lake country, and all sorts of predictions made as to the preseht-aud prospecti\*e populations of Nelson, Kaslo, Ainsworth, Lardo, New DenA-er, and Nakusp. Siiice'January 1st, 1045 people have come in and departed by Avay of Bonner's Ferry and Nortlvport aud 55 by. way of Revelstoke. Oi; this number, fully a fourth were residents of the kike , conn try, traveling in aud out on business. This should sob at rest ail such exaggerated statements as that hun- drtf^of people are arriving daily and thaKnJhe leading towns will have, within sixty clays, populations ranging from 1000 to 10,000. That any of the towns mentioned will ever have 10,000 people is doubtful, for the gootl reason that none of them, except Ainsworth, is close enough to the mines for the men Avorking in the mines to live in the towns. The.Kootenay Lake country Avill be a good deal like the Wood RiA'er country in Idaho. It will have several good, thriving towns, but no large cities.

"All their negotiations Avith president Corbin of the Spokane & Northern railroad and the mining people resulted satisfactorily, and the location of the smelter is definitely settled upon at Northport. They ha\'"e secured fifty acres of land just aboA-e and adjoining the toAvusito for this purpose. They will proceed as soon as practicable to erect smelting Avorks to cost over $200,000 and Avith a capacity of 200 tons a day at the beginning. "The Pyritic Smelting Company last week bought the War Eagle, a Trail Creek- mine, and. is now ordering hoisting machinery and drills to push development Avork, and the Le Roi is to bo similarly equipped. Frederick Burbridge, mining engineer, associated Avitli the company, is here and Avill remain to superintend the War Eagle. In addition to the War Eagle and Le-Roi, as producers, Patsy Clark has bonded the Josie and Center Star, making four mines that will be ready to take out ore within sixty to ninety clays���in fact, all the pyritic ores of Trail Creek will naturally find their way to this smelter. "It is understood that president Corbin Avill build an extension of the Spokane &, Northern railroad, 15 miles, to the Le Roi and War Eagle mines as soon as they are sufficiently developed to permit the ship- men tot ore. "Water power will be used in the smelter, and lor this purpose a water right was filed last Aveek.

Revelstoke Route Open. The stoam bargo fllecillowaot that left Robson at 11 o'clock on Friday forenoon reached Revelstoke the next afternoon at 2 o'clock. On her return trip she brought down one and a half of the nine carloads of freight then at Revelstoke and thirty passengers. The Columbia has only risen four inches at Revelstoke, and unless British Columbia, as, a Avhole, are hospitable, liberal-minded, and not exclusive, and in so doing argues, that as "this section of British Columbia Avas cliscov-- 'erecl'.by Americans that it must of necessity be' peopled almost exclusively by Americans, and that if the people'a re hospitable to strangers, it is simply the hospitality of one American to another. The , ReA-icAv belieA-es that because the Halls -discovered the great Silver King mine on" Toad mountain, that every other mine iu this section of British Columbia Avas clis- - coA'ered by men of the same nationality as the Halls. The Roamcw makes a great , mistake, however. Long, before the Halls accidentally discovered the Toad mountain bonanza, British" subjects had traversed the mountain ranges of West Kootenay <in search of quartz mines." They had -prospected and Avere working claims in the Big Bend country, in the v IllecilleAvaet, and in the Hot Springs district. It is safe to say, that up to the' time of the discoA*ery of the Silver King mine there Avere as many subjects of Great Britain in the Kootenay Lake country as citizens of the Republic. This ratio has been kept up, and today there are as many subjects of Great Britain prospecting and mining in Kootenay district as there are Americans. Even if theconten- - tion of the Review was correct, that the people of Kootenay are almost to a man Americans, does it uot speak, well for the - people of British Columbia that Americans are permitted to prospect and mine Avithinits boundaries Avithout forsAvearing' allegiance to their own country? Are British subjects accorded the same privileges in the United States? Here our people are so liberal-minded that Americans are alloAved to freely celebrate their national holidays when sojourning in British Columbia. Is like freedom accorded British subjects sojourning in Washington or Idaho? Not by a jugful���unless they hap- ^ pen to be from certain counties in Ireland. Today there is no-country under tho sun where all people are less hampered by intolerant and restrictive Ulavs and' no country in Avhich life and property is more secure than in British Columbia. The Mistake of a Japanese Servant. Everyone knows that G. O. Buchanan is a consistent tempciancc man, and that, he never tastes anything stronger than Kemp's therapeutic. Last winter while he and "Bob" Greon Avere down at Victoria lobbying for Kaslo's interests they for a time occupied the same room at a strictly family hotel. One morning -Bob" Avas snoring as if asleep when G. O. rang for a servant. The servant that ansAvered the boll Avas a native of Japan,'with but a limited knoAvledge of English. He was told to go doAvnstair.s and bring back two copies of the Colonist. The Jap politely indicated that he understood what Avas Avantcd, and returned iu a Icav minutes Avith two John Collinses.

It is the general belief that the land office ol" British Columbia is administered in the interest of a ring, ancl that tAvo of the members of tho government arc in the ��� ring. A single ease maybe cited���a case that everyone in this section is familiar ���with. In December, 1891, a reserve was placed upon all lands Avithiu ten miles of Slocan lake. This Avas to keep speculators ��� from obtaining the land, \A*hich the gov- ' eminent believed was valuable for agricultural purposes. .Before the reserve avIis gazetted, some fifty-odd applications to purchase tracts of 1(30 to 820 acres ���within its limits had been made by residents of Nelson and, Ainsworth. These applicants, of course, protested against the action of the government, and the matter came up in the legislate assembly; but before an investigation Avas held the reserve��� Avas lifted (in March, 1802). The notice lifting the reserve stated that the claims of applicants would be considered up to September 30th, 1892, provided they'carried out the provisions of the kuv by that date; but, at the same time, it also stajbed that the lifting of the reserve would not apply to a mile square ab the .mouth of jCarpauter--creek,, on the east side.of the iake,:aiid a mile square"at the -���'JKirth,- endrof-the".-lake. these two mile- ;" ���'squiire.sf being held for townsite purposes. Iu May, 1892, C. IL Perry, a civil engineer of Nelson, was authorized to survey a portion of both reserves into town lots, and in June over 100 lots in' one of the townsites (New Denver) so surveyed Avere sold ab public auction by the government, the aggregate sum realized being over /. The land included in both these mile- square reserves had been applied for previous to the placing of the ten-mile reserve. For the land on Carpenter creek, on the east side of the lake, there were several applicants, tAvo of them conflicting. For the land at the north end of the lake there were also several applicants, bub no two of the applica- r tions conflicted. The people who purchased lots at the public auction in June very naturally supposed they Avere buying lots in a government tbwnsitc, and that the government Avould expend a portion of the money received in improving streets, etc. But they were disappointed, for within a month after that auction sale the chief commissioner of lands and Avorks was in consultation Avith one of the disputing claimants for the land Avithin the reserve���for the land actually sold by the government. That that consultation meant "business" Avill not be denied by either tho chief commissioner of lands and works or the claimant. The "business" Avas finally gotten so avoII in hand that the reserve was lifted from the Now Denver townsite just twenty-throe days before the date set for barring the completion of all applications. But something unlocked for occurred in tho twenty-three days���something that upset all the nice plans laid by the chief commissioner of hinds ancl ������works and the disputing claimant. The other disputing claimant got in his work, had the land surveyed, and appeared most unexpectedly at' the -laud office in Victoria to complete his application according to law. The rival applicant Avho Intel consulted with the chief commissioner of hinds and works was A. S. Farwell, at one time surveyor-general of the province; the other applicant was Angus McGillivray, a mail comparatively unknown. Finding himself in a perplexing positioti, the chief commissioner of lands aud works shifted the responsibility of making a decision in the matter to the legislative assembly. That body adopted the report of a special committee, whose report Avas unanimously in favor of McGilli vray. But that action, /ijjparently, did not suit tho chief commis sioner of lands ancl works, ancl he is still unwilling to make a decision in the matter. , If the chief commissioner of lands and works Avas an official Avilling at all times to carry out both the letter and spirit of the land laws, he Avould have lifted the reserve from the land at the head of Slocan lake at tiie same time as he lifted the reserve from the land on Carpenter Creek. The official action in this case is a good deal like that taken in another case that happened a few years ago up in the neighborhood of- Fort Simpson. There land was actually given to a disputing claimant aa'Iio had not eA'en surveyed it. Here land Avas to be given to a disputing claimant who had not only not surveyed it, but who by his notice did not even claim the land that Avas to be giAron him. With all these facts before them, is it any wonder the common people have no faith in the present administration of the land office, ancl believe it to be rotten to the core? If Nelson is to be incorporated the business must be placed in the hands of someone who Avill take prompt action in the matter. Too much .time has already been lost through the business falling into the hands of men who take no interest in the matter. The present condition of the streets should alone be an incentive to action. Notwithstanding Colonel Baker's fatherly advice, to make haste sluw-ly, Nelson today is in a peculiar position. The government refuses to expend a dollar in repairing streets and bridges, ancl if the repairs, are made it must be done Avith money collected from the few that have already contributed all the money ever expended'in. the toAvn in a public-spirited way. The Tribune believes in keeping- every dollar possible at home, but if home talent cannot be found to get this incorporation business through promptly, then it believes in giving it to outside talent that can. THE TRAFFIC OF EAST KOOTENAY Being Diverted From the Canadian Pacific to the Great Northern. If the folloAving from the Bonner's Ferry Herald, of the 8th instant, is true, there is a possibility of the traffic of the southern portion of East Kootenay being diverted to the Groat Northern railway: "L. O. Miller, tho fur dealer, was down from Jennings, Montana," this Aveek, and furnishes the Herald some interesting information in regard to operations in the East ICootenay. . Among other things, that they are building a neAV steamer at Fort Steele. It is the intention to run the new boat from Fort Steele up the Kootenay to the canal Avhich connects the Kootenay Avith the Upper Columbia lake', thence through the canal and upper lake to the tramway between the Upper and Lower Columbia lakes, thence over the tramway to the LoAver lake, Avhere connection -will be made Avith the Armstrong line of boats which run and make connection Avith the Canadian Pacific at Golden. This opens a steamboat line from Jennings, Montana, to Golden, British Columbia, a distance by steamer of over 400 miles. The steamer Annerly is lying at Jennings and expects to make her first trip up the Kootenay in about ten days. The steamboat lines Avill open up the rich East Kootenay district this summer, as it Avill now be possible to get supplies in where formerly they had to be freighted a long distance. A party of engineers are iioav in the Fort Steele country surveying on the Crow's Nest Pass road. The belief is that this road Avill push, on into the coal and oil holds about forty miles southeast of Fort Steele and then ou tothe Kootenay to the steamer connections, or else run a road down the Kootenay to" Jennings. There is a, carload of hydraulic machinery at Jennings to go up on the Annerly, which would indicate that placer mining is uot over in the once famous Wild Horse country. Quite a number of quartz locations Avere made last year. Captain Jones of the Annerly has three carloads of merchandise which he "will take into the Fort Steele country to dispose of to traders."

They had been talking of spiritual manifestations, haunted, houses, and other cheerful subjects���that is, three of them had been talking. Tho fourth man had smoked on steadily, his hands locked behind his head, staring into the wood fire. Just for something; to say one of the party asked: "Well, Jack, what about you? Weren't you ever haunted ?" ' Tho man they called Jack took his cigar from his mouth and with his eyes still lixed on the (ire, spake: _(- " Yes, I was haunted once ; haunted by a woman with a bread pudding wrapped in ii iiou.->i.iaper. l nave never i'orgocLeu it. I will tell you this story because it has a moral and therein differs widely from the stories you have beeu telling. "To begin witli, it was all tho fault of a hiss. In tho days of his youth and the spring of his blood a man will kiss anything feminine if he gets a chance. When that sort of malady came upon me 1 was an under master in a large private school in tiie south of England. We had about sixty boys and u correspondingly large force of servants. Some of those servants wore pretty aud some weren't. Preeminent among those who were not was the cook. Looking back through the vista of years, T know thac Cookie was homelier than a Chinese idol, but iu those days tho elixir MephistopJieles gave l'\iust got into my blood sometimes and ou one of those occasions 1 kissed the cook. It was a chaste salute and Cookie evidently liked it. That kiss wa.s the beginning of many things, all of them unpleasant. "Cookie was a. good cook and the fare at that school was neither plentiful nor good. Besides a good healthy appetite I had in those days a great predilection for bread puddings. A broad pudding is something like fruit cake, only more doughy, and it touches the hungry spot better. Cookie was a great hand at those puddings and sometimes used to make me one for lunch, but after that kiss I never had to ask for lunch, for Cookie went to inaking bread puddings for nie until I couldn't rest. I would find a cold, clammy bread pudding under my pillow when I Aveut to bed and another would be nestling in the bureau drawer among my clean linen. Such a plethora of pudding -would pall..oh-my appetite and finally I got to firing the delicacies out of the window at thestrollingeatsand pugnacioussparrows. "Well, it came to pass oue evening that that Cookie looked upon the boor when it foamed in the pewter and came home hilarious. The next morning Cookie got Mired,'and 1 was uot as sorry as I might have been, because 1 foresaw a pudding- less rest ahead. 1 bade Cookie a tender farewell and accepted a last bread pudding of giant proportions which I promptly foci to the cats. "You fellows know that in England the bartender's place is generally filled by a. girl���mighty pretty girls most of them are, too. Somewhere near the bar is what, in hotels, is called the bar-parlor. This is reserved for the aristocrats and other salt of the earth. Down iu the little seaside place I speak of there was a nice hotel called the Red Lion, with a. cozy bar pallor presided over by the prettiest girl you ever saw. We called her Miss Dee. Whether it was the excellent quality of the brown brandy or the superior attractions of that barmaid I don't know, but a lot of us used to get in there in the evenings and sit around aud smoke. I was in there one night with the usual crowd and Miss Dee was dispensing smiles and hot drinks with impartiality when she was called to the outer bar. This wa.s separated from the parlor by a screen. Pretty soon Miss Dee came back with a rather mystified look on her face and coming across to me whispered: "There's a person in the bar wants to see you."

Under her arm she carried something wrapped in a newspaper. 1 know its shape only too well. My fate had followed nie. It was another bread pudding. - '. . . "f went out because 3 felt that if I didn't Cookie would probably bring that cold, remorseless pudding in' amongst a lot of ribald fellows, but it was bitterer than quinine to see how Miss Deo looked at me. Cookie wa.s glad to see me; very glad. She said so. She had felt that I should miss her and the bread puddings of which I was so fond, so she had made me a nice one and brought it down. What could I do with the affectionate creature? I took that horrible, quashy. repulsive bundle and carried it home quietly and without ostentation. ��� Thai- pudding weighed eight pounds, but the she was forced into the poorhouso, and ��. few weeks ago hor body was interred in the Potlor'h field. Henry George received about $'_���**() out of tho legacy, the widow perhaps $1000, and thu rest stands accounted for in "'fees and costs." The proceeding ought to bring about a radical change in laws relating to wills, as well as .procedure in many other 'directions. Ilebort Spencer's contention' that the courts, being paid for by general taxes, uhoulcl bo ajjiMir-ioK I'oi' the froo dispensation of law, might bring- about a reform. Til ere is certainly no sense or justice iu a system where tho litigants arc despoiled on every side, and, whether they win or lose, emerge from a suit in which chicanery and delay have eaten up the property at stake. AN INDUSTRY OF GREAT MAGNITUDE. of extract, the substance does not contain as many nutritive its stimulative qualities, wliich apt as excitants to the digestive organs and tend to restore the appetite, reliant nervous-waste and' tone up the debilitated. Being entirely destitute of grease, albumen and gelatin, it cannot spoil nor lose its flavor, however long it may be kept many climate. ' ' The operation of killing the animals and preparing the carcasses is about the same as is followed in all large sla.ughter- ing establishments, the only difference being that every particle of meat is cut from the bones before it is hung up to cool. After it is thoroughly cooled the meat is cleared of every particle of fat and put to stew in large/oblong caldrons, in wliich the water is kept below the boiling point, for it is a peculiarity of the mixture that it contains no matter not soluble in cold wttter. A thin soup is thus obtained, AvhicJi is carefully skimmed and strained so that the smallest trace of greaso is removed. Then the soup is subjected to a series of evaporations, growing thicker and thicker, till it finally acquires about the color and consistency of sorghum; which when cool becomes a jelly and is ready for use. About one hundred oxen are killed, skinned and cut up in an hour as au average amount of work, and that in tho height of tho season fOOOaday is tho rule, or the neighborhood of 150,000 in seven months.

Thou the boys came to the door of the cigar store and made remarks about '.tack's mash.' That finished me. " F'or a week I kepi; away from both the hotel and the cigar store".

By-and-by the tradespeople,Wishing to be obliging, got to sending those parcels-up to the house. That broke my spirit. T had lost ail# my friends: I was haunted by bread puddings all day, and at night T dreamed of them. Finally, I decided that there wasn't room in the town for both me and the puddings, so .1 got out quietly, intending to go to London. I had to. wait for my train, and went into the lunch room to get a sandwich. My sacliel. with a label on it, rested on the counter. One of the waitresses looked at tho label and then said, brightly: '���'0, I've got a package here for you; a woman left it two days ago.' Then she handed out something wrapped in a newspaper. "1 thanked her���strictly in words���and 1 took that greasy pudding and walked sadly out. "That night I went to Franco." Rapacious Laws and. Lawyers. An instructive instance of the law's rapacity, as well as its heartbreaking delays, is recorded in the Jersey courts. Some years ago an admirer of Henry George, the single tax apostle, died bequeathing the principal part of his estate, $30,000, to aid. in the diffusion of George's works. Relatives in the west at once began a contest, refusing George's proffer to turn, over the whole amount to the testator's widow. The case shifted from court to court until the other day, when, in the last stage, it was found that the whole $30,000 had been eaten up by the lawyers! The unfortunate widow meanwhile' had fallen into such poverty that Thousands of Cattle Converted Yearly Into a Famous Meat Extract. It must bo a matter of interest to the thousands all over- the world who are daily fed ��� on extract of moat to learn something of how and where the strangely stimulating, niolassos-like substance is made. Everybody knows that the highly condensed preparation thtit comes put up in small white .jars was invented by baron Justus Liebig, the eminent Gorman chemist; but most people believe thao it is still manufactured in Antwerp, as formerly, ancl lincl themselves puzzled by tho English trade mark. A few years ago a British company pur-, chased the business wliich Horr Liebig had founded half a century before, and in 1S0O transferred the works to Uruguay. An idea of biie magnitude of the iiiduistry may be gained, from the fact that the company claims to sell eight million jars of blio extract every year, and that eighty shiploads of it ares_ annually scut, from this manufactory to Europe. Each pound of extract is guaranteed to contain enough substance to prepare 100 portions of soup, eimal in strength to that obtained by iioiliny forty-live pounds of meat for several hours. A traveler in this portion of South America Avill find it worth the slight expenditure of time and money required to visit those famous works, although a more unsentimental-expedition cannot well be imagined, or oue more trying to sensitive nerves before it is finished.

Having passed several hundred miles of monotonous and apparently unoccupied country, with here and there an iusigni!'- cant village whose inhabitants seem to be ail dead or gone a-visiting. about the only signs of life being a few lean clogs blinking lazily in the sun, you are amazed to see in this remote interior a crowd of ships and steamers, floating iho flags of England, Germany. Eranee, Italy, and various South American countries, anchored iu front of this ccpmlly insignificant looking village. And in truth there is nothing about Eray Bentos of aivy consequence whatever except the Liebig factories, and they are a mile away, on a high,, bold..promontory jutting out into the river. The factory grounds are surrounded by a lofty brick-waii, entered through an imposing archway; and within the walls are many buildings, including machine shop's, shops for tinsmiths, carpenters and engineers, all on a complete scale, so that necessary repairs can be made ou the.������pot. A tramway runs from the works down to the fine, new iron pier where vessels are loaded with the "extract," and we notice that several ships are waiting for their cargoes. The workmen's cottages arc clustered outside the walls, forming a considerable village, as more than a thousand men are cm ployed who reside ou the spot Avith their wives and children. Work is carried on only seven mouths in the year, but during that time ti thousand oxen it re slaughtered every day, till good, sound animals, none less than four years old. Already, during the twenty-eight years they have been established here, upward of 15,000,000 cattle have been made into extract, representing about WT(),0(K),0(;0 in value. The company owns thousands of acres of the richest'pasture lands in the world, iu this republic and the Argentine, and hundred's of thousands of cattle. The extract leaves this place packed in large cans, each of which contains 110 pounds and the substance ot fifteen animals, and is worth .$250. It is sent direct tea-Antwerp, to the company's-general depot, where it is examined by a special chemist employed for the purpose. After having received this gentleman's approval and guarantee it is potted in the small white jars with which we are familiar, packed in cases, and sent out to all the markets of tho world.

A. McKinnon, a daugli- ter;cweight eleven pounds. ''Ben" Thomas is seriously thinking of quitting prospecting and milling and taking to the more congenial and profitable business of sheep raising. H. Selous and J. Tolson both have their farms at the corner of Victoria and Stanley streets ready for seeding. Tho one will try the full range of garden truck, provided his neighbors.do.not again cover his land with broken crockery, Avoru-oi.it tinware, and refuse generally; the other will confine his attention strictly to sunflowers and smilax. Prank Fletcher, land commissioner of the Columbia & Kootenay railway, left Kelson on Wednesday ���" for' Victoria. While there he will see if some arrange- meiits cannot be made with the government for grading anil repairing the streets of Nelson. .The railway company is willing to put up its'share of the cost. John Hendry and D. J. Munii of the Kaslo townsite company arrived at Kaslo this week. During their stay they will, no doubt, let a contract for. the building of the Kaslo & Slocan raihvay. A. II. Buchanan,'manager of the Bank of Montreal, is out at Spokane, merely to see if any of the banks there do as much business as his bank at Kelson. This week E. C. Carpenter of Three Forks sold a Nelson 30-foot lot to .11. J. Bealey of Kaslo. The price paid was $-10.00 a front foot. The telephone company is changing its lines at Kaslo from the ground-wire system to the metallic-circuit system. It is hoped the change will improve Sam Green's temper. The business men of Kaslo have concluded to .join the South Kootenay Board of Trade, and action will be taken on their applications at a meeting to be held at Nelson on Saturday. Gold commissioner Fitztubbs is at Kaslo making arrangements with the owners of the townsite for suitable lots on which to build an office for mining recorder Dennis and a lockup for Kaslo's obstreperous residents." If Hunt & Dover put a few more signs in front of their jewelry store, passers- by will mistake it for a sign shop. W. Gesner Allan, at one time connected with The Miner of Nelson, Avrites from London, England, that he is about to Lake an extended trip through Germany. Another gentleman who was also connected Avith that money-making establishment is contemplating a prolonged trip to Japan. "Mr. and Mrs. Charles Olson of Ainsworth" is the way "Charlie'* Olson now writes his name on hotel registers. Although he Avas not game .enough to get married nearer home than Spokane, he and his bride Avere congratulated and welcomed by every man, woman, and child in Ainsworth on their return to that town. t: W. D. Middough and P. W. Scott, the two Minnesota capitalists Avho purchased Four Mile City and the Bigelow addition to New Denver, are in Minneapolis. They expect to return in two weeks. The Tremont hotel is now as bright a.s a Columbian souvenir half dollar or tt new pin, and when its hcav register arrives it Avill be one of the toniest hotels in Nelson.

They are now looking for an eligible site ou which to build a warehouse. .The people of Kaslo and of Nelson cannot take too many precautions against fire. The fate of Ward nor, Idaho, should he a warning. Every iirotrap in tho two towns should be removed. Kaslo has one advantage over Nelson���she has firewardens that are not afraid to act. Two thousand copies of the amendments to the Mineral Act have been printed and distributed gratis by Tin' Taiiu/NK. Copies Avere sent to every post- office in East and West Kootenay.
