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.

THE SIFTON BANQUET. An Interesting Talk I'rom the New Minister ol' the Interior on Yukon Matters. Tlio b;wu|tiPt tendered by tin-- citi/.ens ol' Nelson to Hon. Clifford Sifton at' tlie I'hair Hotel, Wednesday evening, was ;\\ very enjoyable- affair.' Mayor Houston presided, and on his right sal: tlie guest of the evening. Among the others-present wore: Hewitt Bostock, M. I'., J. Fred Hume, M. I'. I'., .J. A. J. Mcfvenna (Ottawa), He v. Uobert- Frew, Dr. Arthur, A. M. Johnson, lrado, Bonanza and Miller creeks there would be taken out within che next four or five years between $50,000,009 and $00,000,000 worth of gold. When a conservative and well informed man made ��uch an estimate of the gold product from bin. three creeks, it was very easy for one to imagine t hat there were tremenduons possibilities in the Yukon with its many miles of auriferous creek beds. Respecting the routes inln the Yukon, Mr. Sifton pronounced the Stikeen route, which had been reported upon by engineer Jennings, as the most feasible, and whicli he had reason to believe, would be available next summer, in which event the country would be fortunate in the possession of of an all-Canadian route. In touching upon the effect of the mineral development of Canada within the past two years he said that it had tended to make even the most sanguine Canadians more confident in their contemplation of Canada's future. Ho said that he was free to confess that he himself felt different. The'demonstra- tion ot the mineral wealth of tho country added to its inducements to intending immigrants, and taken iu connection with its, wonderful agricultural possibilities, made Canada a very desirable place for settlement. Tho people of Canada today, in hiscopinion, were possessed of more natural resources than were any similar number of people in the world, and it was the realization of this fact that made them all more sanguine for the future of the laud of their birth. The other toasts proposed and responded to were: The House of Commons, by Mr. Bostock. The Legislative Assembly, by Mr. Hume. The Mining Industry, by Mr. Robertson and Mr. McRae. The Bar, by Mr. Bodwell and Mr. Macdonald. Our Monetary Institutions, by Mr. Holt and R,intoul. The Medical Profession, by Dr. Arthur and Dr. Forin. The Press, by Mr. McGurn. The Ladies, by Rev.

The affairs of the Lillooet, Fraser River & Cariboo Gold Fields Company have got into a bad mess, and as a matter of course the' province ofBritish Columbia is being saddled with the blame. While there may have been room for complaint in the management of the company's affairs in this province, it is well to remember that it is very easy to be wise after the event. The provincial manager of the company may have purchased prospects at a higher figure than their development warranted, aud properties in which he was interested may have been put into the assets of the company at good prices, but it should be * remembered that payment for the same -was accepted in L/.i*\". R. & G.G.F. company stock, when had their; been any attempt at fraud payment might easily have been arranged in cash. There was at least an evidence of faith in the^ company's future, on the part of P. S. Barnard, which is'more than cau be said for the English stockholders associated with ���R.'. M. Horne-Payne. It is currently reported that the first move made by this group of stockholders was the unloading of sufficient stock upon confiding French investor, at double its par value, to indemnify themselves for any possible loss which might come upon them by reason of their own holdings. If there has been bad faith in the matter it was shown by the Jihiglish stockholders themselves and not- by the British Columbians who organized the company. It is well in these matters to place the blaiue where it rightly belongs. That R. M. Horne-Payne carefully nursed the boom iu the Lillooet Fraser.River stocks no one can possibly deny. If the provincial members of the company are to blame for inducing investment in the company stock at par, how is Horne-Payne absolved from blame for inducing investment at 100 per cent premium:* ----___ THIRTY THOUSAND DOLLARS PER DAY.

During the past week there was entered at the Port of Nelson for export S22 tons of ore and 111 tons of matte, with an estimated value of $I00,\")37. Of this ore, all save 25 tons from the Iron Mask at Rossland, came from the mines of the Slocan, and had'a value of over $75,000. The. week's exports bring the total for the current month up to $382,570, a rather creditable showing for thirteen days. These exports were made up of 2,282 tons of ore valued at $198,332. and -195 tons off matte valued at $181,238.

A previous conviction made by magistrate Crease under this by-law was quashed upon appeal, owing to the non-appearance of. the corporation. Upon tli is occasion chief of police \"Woolverton, the prosecutor, failed to notify the city council that an appeal had been taken, so that the publication of tlie quashing of the ��� conviction was the first notice the council had that an appeal had been taken. Although the provincial board of health declared the sanitary regulations of the board in force in Nelson in August, such action did not nullify tlie health by-law passed by the municipal council iu June, as the Hualth Act of 1803, by virtue of which the .Board of health was created, expressly states that in municipalities convictions may be had either under the health by-law, or the health act or any rule or regulation made thereunder. This effectually disposes of the contention that the regulations of. the board of health, which were put in force in August, superseded the health by-law of the city. There was no excuse for the provincial board of health meddling with the affairs of the city of N'eison. Two months before it declared its sanitary regulations in force in this city, the city council chad passed a comprehensive health by-law,, and was strictly enforcing the same. The sanitary regulations ot the board of health were declared to be in force in Nelson and other Kootenay cities for the sole purpose of furnishing an excuse for a holiday jaunt on the part of the well paid secretary of the provincial board. In doing so the provincial board exceeded its authority. Its own rules provide that the regulations- can only be put in force in city municipalities at the request of the city council, or in case the sanitary regulations or health by-laws of the city are defective or insufficient, neither of which conditions obtained in the City of Nelson. D. C. Cokijix of the Nelson & Fort Sheppard railway is iu the field with a railway project i'or the Boundary Creek district. Corbin proposes to build a line from 'Northport to either Craud Forks or Greenwood, lie will build the road without a proyincial subsidy, and so far as the province is concerned, the road when built will contribute as much to the development of the, province as any of the heavily 'subsidized roads. If D. C. Corbin can build railways without cash subsidies there is no reason why other railway promoters should not. So far as Kootenay is concerned the day for nutting up cash bonuses for railway speculators is passed. If there is sufficient business iu a section for the successful operation of a railway, there will be money forthcoming for its construction. If there is not sufficient business offering bona fide railway men will noi; undertake the construction of railways, and the policy of offering bonuses creates a parasite known as a charter monger, who by organizing a company, secures a cinch upon the promised aid, and by a system of extensions tides over such interval as may elapse until the development of the country warrants a railway, when he sells the charter Shkrvvood, Esq., Agent 4 Ocean Accident & Guarantee Corporation, Nelson, B.

The government offered a bonus of $920,- 000 and $-100,000 for what were ostensibly independeutand competing lines with the Canadian Pacific railway. By a system of barter, one charter, which can include both subsidies, falls into the hands of a syndicate affiliated with the Canadian Pacific Railway Company, and the province is called upon to heavily subsidize mere branch lines of the Canadian Pacific Railway Company's system. The provincial exchequer is to be tapped for $-1000 per mile, and an effort made to secure an additional $8000 per mile i'rom the federal treasury, so that the Canadian Pacific Railway Company may tighten its cinch upon the industries of the province. If the provincial government is wise it will refuse to vote one cent to any such railway enterprise. There is sufficient business i'or a railway to Boundary Creek district, and D. C. Corbin proposes to build one without provincial aid. If any other railway company wishes to secure the business of the country make it go in upon the same terms as I.). C. Corbin will go in. There is no need to pay $-100,000 for a service which D. C. Corbin proposes to give for nothing. There are upwards of seventy-five nickel-in-the-slot machines in Spokane, upon which the city council has decided to levy a license of $\"��� each per quarter. By this means the corporation expects to add at least $1200 to the municipal revenue. In Nelson these machines are permitted to run without paying any license whatever. The nickel-in-the- slot machine is one thing which escaped, the taxing ability of the Turner government, and there is no provision for the licensing of them by municipal councils. Tin-* assessor of Greenwood returns the assessed value of city realty at $103,725, and of improvements at $31,020. The improvement's have been assessed at fifty per cent of their value. Should this assessment stand the assaults of the realty owners upon revision, the maximum-revenue of the corporation under this head will be %SS2i>. The area of the corporation is .010 acres but this is encroached upon by three mineral claims which have not yet been subdivided and cannot therefore be assessed under the municipal act. Till'' most amusing incident in connection with the scramble for office among the Grit politicians'of\" the province, was the Kamloops Standard's advocacy of a senators-hip for Dr. Milne of. Victoria. The man who fastened a gas monopoly upon the citi/.ens of Vancouver through the aid of the legislature, was described as a man of broad views and a .consistent Liberal. As A result of the meddliug policy of the provincial government in municipal affairs, trouble is threatened for the cities of Nelson, Rossland, and Kamloops, in their efforts to secure adequate sewerage systems. Under the pretence of preserving the public health, a provincial board was created, and fat jobs found for political favorites. To make a bluff at earning their salaries, the members of this board haye entered upon a policy of interference with the cities of the interior in the disposal of their sewage. They have decided that Rossland cannot drain its sewage into Trail creek, that Kamloops cannot drain into the Thompson river, and that Nelson cannot drain into the Kootenay river. The provincal board of health has decided to put the cities of the interior to the great expense of complying with a set of sewerage regulations required in the populous centers of Great- Britain, which wisely prohibit the draining of large volumes of sewage into small streams. Whatever may be the solution for the sewerage problem in Rossland, it is apparent to every intelligent person that the common sense procedure in Nelson aud Kamloops is the utilization of the Kootenay and Thompson rivers. It is foolish for any board of health to contend that the volume of sewage from either of these towns for the next 25 years, will be sufficient to create any nuisance whatever. Should the provincial board of health persist in its absurd contention, it will remain for the three cities concerned to join issue and fight the matter through the courts. Such offensive meddlesomeness would not be tolerated in any of the coast cities, and will not be in any of the interior cities^ ' The owners of the V. V. 6c E. railway charter have commenced their assault upon the provincial exchequer for subsidies. By the terms of the railway aid act, which premier Turner framed last session with a view to satisfying the greed of three sets of speculators, there is already huug up cash subsidies aggregating $1,320,000, as an aid to building a line of railway from Vancouver to Rossland. At the time that this act was framed the Rithet faction of the government menaced the life of the administration in their demands for cash subsidies for the British Pacific railway, a scheme which premier Turner publicly denounced in Victoria as a crazy scheme unworthy of BRANCH MARKETS . . .

Orders by mail earefully filled and nrnmptly forwarded. government'support. The tooters I'or the holders of the V. V. & E. railway charter were also clamoring for aid for what they promised,.should be an independent and competing line of rail way from Vancouver to the interior ot Kootenay,. and the hirelings of F. Aug. Heinze were laying pipe for government assistance for a road from Rossland to Penticton. In order to stand in with these three sets of specula-, tors, premier Turner brought down what he termed a genera] railway aid act, by which he provided for the division of $2,210,000 of the public money among them. The promoters of. the British Pacific, and the V. V. & li. railways could not even hazard an opinion as to the time when they would be ready to commence work, so the government very considerately arranged that their bonuses should await their ability to win .them. With respect to the bonus for the road from Penticton to Boundary Creek it was different. A condition was imposed'that no conipany should be entitled to it. except it entered into an agreement to begin and carry on construction from Penticton within fifteen months from the passage of the act. As matters stand there is therefore $020,000 already set aside as a bonus upon 230 miles of railway from the coast to Penticton, whicli ,the owners of the V. V. 6c E. charter have practically within their reach, and $100,000 more which they may secure if they can beat Heinze out in complying with .the conditions[imposed with respect to the Penticton road. The fruits of premier Turner's revised railway policy may therefore be summed up in the announcement that it may enable the Canadian Pacific Railway Company, or its stool pigeons, to secure at least $1,320,000 in cash for the building of what will virtually be a branch line of the Canadian Pacific railway system.

The. jury has long been the I3-fench aughing stock ol' the people and the butt but it continues on because it of the funny papers tho ridiculous tenor of its way is supposed to be the living embodiment of liberty, equality and fraternity. There i.s a very strong sentiment throughout France against capital punishment and to a less extent against any punishment at all. Murderers by premeditation do not get off usually scot- free but they get off entirely too often. Murderers who have committed the crime in hot blood commonly get a sentence of than five years in prison, aud, if it be a first offence, almost always something far less severe. In only one class is the criminal invariably sure of conviction, aud that is in the case of infanticide by mothers, married or unmarried. Tn most of these cases there are extenuating oi run instances���the strongest possible���but the ���;Freuch jury sternly rejects them: it has in its clouded brain a very obstinate idea that these mothers must suffer the extreme penalty of two years in, prison. That is the invariable verdict. Although the public has resolved never to bo surprised at tho mental antics of a jury, it could not but raise its eyebrow's: and shrug its shoulders at the ouEcomeof another trial which occurred in Paris three weeks ago, the details of which are worth recounting not only because of the singular verdict but because of the inherently Parisian character of the story: Lucy .Jacquillart, a, very handsome young woman, was born' twenty-three years ago in a small hamlet of the Department of the V'onne. Her father was a clay laborer, but notwithstanding his poverty, he gave her a good education, an education, indeed, including many accomplishments. At the age of 17 she was to marry a prosperous young farmer. She objected and fled to the nearest town. There she met aud captivated a young army officer.: He loved her aud clone many things for her he should not have done. It took exactly one year for her to ruin him. One clay he awoke to find himself penniless and dishonored. She had not only stolen every centime he had, but she had swindled everybody in sight, putting the blame on him. ��� The young man killed himself, and the girl .promptly found another dupe, whom she subjected to exactly the same experience. Four men she ruined in this way before she was arrested for theft and swindling and sent to prison for three years. She served the term, which expired, last year, and at once started out on fresh adventures. She stole a large sum of money, assumed the title countess ��� de Chaleon, and came to Paris. She thought herself accomplished in intrigue, and, as the result shows, she made no mistake. Beautiful, educated, aud with that haughty bearing which couuts for so much in the artificial French capital, she regarded herself as lit for any line of work. As a preliminary to successful business she rented a sumptuously furnished apartment in the Avenue des 1_\"Iysees, hired half a do/.en servants, and bought a showy victoria aiid pair. Then she was ready. For months she attracted a great deal of attention in the carriage parades of Bois. Everybody remarked her. Everybody wanted to know who she was, and nobody knew. That was the first lesson: she was talked about and had become a personage. One day she drove iu her showy victoria to the banking house of Oppeiiheim Brothers. The two young men, Robert and Eugene, are bachelors and barons. .Sue was received by their confidential secretary Michel Briand. To this young man she recited a romantic story. She was on the point of receiving, she said, a very large inheritance, but she had had trouble with her husband, and he had placed obstacles in her way. fu substantiation of her story she showed Mr. Briand a number of letters from various attorneys, which had been cleverly forged. Mr. Briand, according to the Paris newspapers, was \"overcome by the extreme distinction of the countess,\" and straightway he fell head over ears in love with her���or lie experienced that feeling which serves the same end according to the Paris code. He left his wife and two small children, and was henceforth her slave. At the end of four months, in order to satisfy the exigencies of the countess, he had robbed hi.s employers of. $75,000 according to the Oppenheims' story, of $20,000 according to hi.s own. Whatever the sum, the countess had it. When the Oppenheims discovered the loss and threatened to prosecute him, the countess went to see them. She was very high and mighty. She expressed lively indignation at the dishonesty of Mr. Briand, but added that out of pity for him, she would undertake to repay the entire amount that he had stolen. The Oppenheims were pleased, not only with the proposition but with' ihe countess, and agreed to drop any thought of prosecution. How much they were pleased with the countess will never be known, exactly, although she hinted in court that she might have something to tell if the case went against her. ��� At the trial everybody was affected visibly by the grandeur and beauty of the youug woman. Whan her history came out she smiled lightly, and her attorney did the same, lie denied nothing, and seemed to think it all a very good joke. He told the jury what a very bright young woman she was. In the flush of- his admiration for her he even-went so far as to read a, note she had written to Victorien Sardou. in whicli she begged the playwright to help her get a place on the stage. '���I ha ve played comedy so well in the fashionable world,\" were the. concluding words of the note, \"that J do not despair of'playing it even better on the stage.\" The jurors thought that was very witty and rubbed their hands in appreciation. They were still smiling indulgently when Briiii'id's attorney attacked them. His client, he declared, was the dupe of an art fill woman. At these words,the jurors looked very much hurt, and they brightened ti]) when the attorney went on to say how much his client had loved the countess. From this the attorney took hi.s cue, and in the course of an hour's speech he dwelt on the beauty,,the sacred ness of such a love. At the end the jury wa.s in a real sentimental stew. They were out but five minutes, and came back with a. verdict acquitting both the countess and her lover. The judges had no remarks to make upon the vet diet in the criminal case, but to save the honor of France and the majesty of French law, they gave civil damages against Briand and the countess in the sum ot twenty cents each. Thus were the Oppenheims salved and the law avenged. The two lovers left the court arm in arm.amid applause from the spectators' benche--. Two days afterward nine of the members of this jury were on another jury in thesame court. A case of petty larceny came up. A man had stolen $13. There was no defence, but a plea for clemency was put in because the man's wife had a three weeks' old baby and was dependent upon her husband for food. The man was convicted and sent to prison for two months. WHITE GROUSE DISTRICT. rentals last year nearly $5,000,000, of which very'* nearly one-half was profit paid to --oi-kholders. The fact i.s in be taken intu consideration, however, that telephone p-n'i-iits. like all others U?ni<) by the government\", are subject to expiration, and that the capitalization of companies operating \"under patent is necessarily, based upon the conditions which exist when the company was formed rather- than by the conditions that are likely to prevail at the time of the expirations of such patents. An illustration of this, familiar to everyone, is found in the case of the sewing machine, the profits from the manufacture nf which have decreased materially since the expiration of various patents and [latent appliances; ; ��� Bolandar Owners in Luck. A rich strike was lately made on the Bolander claim, situated near Sandon, and some very fine ore has been taken out. The same lead was also discovered ou the Chicago, an adjoining property, and the same character of ore is being taken out. The Bolander property was taken up early, iu the spring by a company organized in Find lay, Ohio. Some work was done ou the claim at that time, but the discovery was not made then, and further work was delayed until the property was crown granted.

Copper mining during the past ten years.has grown to such enormous proportions in the United States and become one of the principal industries of the nation. Last year the output of American mines reached 202,610 long tons of refined copper, representing a value of $48,786,080. The increase in the consumption of the ��� metal both at home and abroad during those years lias been so great that whatever surplus there might have been above domestic requirements found a ready market in some quarter of the globe. Nor does the limit either in production or consumption of the product seem to have been reached. New or enlarged uses for the metal are springing up all over the world. All copper mines, but more especially young ones with an assured future, have become very popular with the investing public, and they are destined to become more so with coming years.
