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.

DAILY EDITION BY MAIL FIVE DOLLARS A YEAR WEEKLY EDITION BY MAIL TWO DOLLARS A YEAR EIGHTH YEAE. NELSON: SATURDAY MORNING JUNE 9 J900. PRICE FIVE CENTS THE CANDIDATES'LAST SHOT The paigtt was held in the tfc Hall Still Wobbling. last meeting of tho catn- opnra house last evening. It was called by candidate 1 fall's committee, and lasted about nn hour and a half, during t ho greater part of which time candidate Hall labored to convince his hearers that he was uot a. Martin man. It can hardly be regarded as complimentary, either to a candidates sincerity or his ' integrity, that at the close of a campaign he , .should find himself in the position which Dr. HaU occupied. It told . heavily against .candidate in the meeting and will no doubt. operate in tiie same way at the polls today. Wheu a candidate cannot be placed in a straight contest, it is idle to attempt to place him in the varied issues which he might be called itpori to face in the legislature. Candidate Hall was the first speaker. He referred to. the uncertain nature of his candidature, and sign in endeavored to explain where ho stood. He said that while he was absent from the city false reports had been circulated regarding him, and he desired to reiterate his position as an independent Liberal. In proof of this he quoted from an interview published in the Miner before the doctor flopped over to Martin, in which he was represented as stating that he was opposed to .Toe Martin as a leader, bub that he would go to Victoria to build up and not to tear down. Dr." Hull endeavored to make his hearers believe that his position was uuchunged on the subject of Mr. Martin. But it is different with the doctor iu Ymir. Ho then endeavored to explain why, in his opinion, an independent member, single-handed, could accomplish more than a party man in thelegis- lasure. There were rumors, he phhI, that ho had formed a combine with Mr. Fletcher to split the labor, vote and defeat Mr. Houston, There never was a combine of a'ny "description, and he was in the fight co stay. Referring lo the 489 voters, who were objected to, Dr. Hnll accused Mr. Fletcher aiid Ids .party of bqing at the bottom of the scheme,- which he denounced as contemptible, and worthy only of . severe reprimand. St is worth noting that the doctor had no interest in the said 489 electors until' candidate Houston succeeded in having thoir names replaced upon thu voters' list. The speaker devoted some attention to..Mr. Fletcher's candidacy. Mr. Fletcher, ite said, was, running in the Conservative iuterest, which could not possibly tetania working party to the legislature and would bo forced to coalesce with the Turnerites, whoso record in the matter of land grants to railroads he attacked vigorously. The Conservatives, he added, were divided among themselves. Turning to Houston, the speaker stated that _the_Provineial -Party-had -but-ten- candidates in the running, and a fair estimate would place their successful candidates at one-half this number. With .so few representatives the Provincial Party would be practically helpless. The doctor failed to explain why candidate Fletcher and candidate Houston could accomplish nothing with small parties, while he could accomplish everything single handed. The doctor read his platform over, commenting on the various planks at more or le** length. His solution of the Oriental labor question was* that a commission from Ottawa should be brought into the country for some months in order that they might grasp the situation thoroughly. In tegard to the public ownership of railroads he stated that the subject was one requiring deep study, and that he was not now prepared to go further than to commend the principle in a general way. ' Candidate Flether was then introduced and announced himself as a straight Conservative candidate, and the nominee in convention. In referring to his opponents, Mr. Flethchor remarked that the community had a strong suspicion that Hon. Smith Curtis did not come into the riding to secure moral support or for his health, but to advance Dr. Hall's interests. Knowing Dr. Hall to bo a man of his woi'd, however, he was prepared to accept Dr. Hall's statements. Ho put forth the claim that the Conservatives were tho only party which could secure a working ma- jot ity, despite what had been said to the eautrary by Dr. Hall. The eight-hour law was one of the vital questions of the day, and on this he took the stand that the law should be left on the statute book. His position on the Oriental labor question was that the matter could be got at in a square, straightforward manner by going to the proper authorities. After the Municipal band had contributed a spirited selection, candidate Houston was introduced and was accorded a right royal welcome. His speech was liberally applauded, and though the Hall minority caused an interruption, it was most evident that the Houston element was in the majority. "The difference between Dr. Hall and myself," said Mr. Houston, "is that he started the, campaign with one plank, a/nd wound up with 14 or 15. His one plank in the start was opposition to Martin in and out of the house. You all know where he is at now. In Nelson he does Jiot know Martin, but in ^Ymir he is a solid Martin man. I started into this campaign*with 14 planks, but wind up with one, and on this plank niy ''.supporters' stand solidly. It is that tomorrow, when the ballots are counted, John Houston will have more votes than both of his opponents combined. (Cheers). We went into this campaign determined to send a man to Victoria backed up by the large majority of the electors Of this, the most important constituency, so that when-, he got up oh the'floor of the house at Vic-" toria he could state that he represented the whole of the electors of Nelson riding, and not a faction. (Applause'). I do not propose to make an extended reference to the issues of the contest, believing that the electors are aboutas well posted as the candidates are (laughter), but I will refer instead to a few of the local issues. Dr. Hall has taken to himself all the credit for legislation benefitting laboring men since he entered the city council; but 1 leave it with you to say what he did in this direction -..before entering the council (laughter.) Did he ever try to discourage Chinese labor? The men who weie herein 1891 remember that the Chinese question,was a.-live issue at that time. Who then took part in the fight against Chinese labor ? (cries of Houston.) Well it was certainly nofc Dr. Hall. S was not at that time au aspirant for public office, so that it cannot be Said 1 was actuated by1 any motive other than that'of principle (applause.) J believed then, and I Jbelieve now, that the best way to rid this country of Chinese and Japanese is not to employ them (cheers.) So far, as- my position ou tho eight-hour law i.s concerned I dojiofc think there is a man in^ this audience who doubts for a moment where I stand. It is a point for the electors to pass upon, and I have ,no doubt as to their verdict. (Applause). It will be for the man who stood for the eight-hour law from start to finish. (Cheers). My advice to the electors is simpl$ that you should go home and consider seriously which of the candidates-will prove to be the best representative. If you believe Dr. Hall is a better man than myself, send him to Victoria. If yon believe Mr. Fletcher to be a better man than either of as, vote for him. Sn concluding I will express the opinion that none of the parties in the contest will be strong enough to form a government singleha tided. A coalition must be formed and 1 wish to state that the party with which I am identified is composed of men of principle and that not one of thorn will sacrifice a single principle even to obtain office." (Applause aud cheers). Dr. Hall concluded the speaking briefly. He remarked that if Mr. Fletcher said Hon. Mr. Curtis came to Nelson in the interests of the speaker, Mr. Fletcher had slated an untruth. The only possible ground for such a statement was that Mr. Curtis had advised the voters to cast their ballots for Hall, an independent candidate, rather than for Houston or Fletcher, whose parties were opposed to the government. If returned his policy, would be to support such legislation as he felt was in the interest of the people generally. After denying the statement that he was a Martin candidate, Dr. Hall remarked that he had done much for the working men prior to hi.s election to the council, as a result of which he said he owed bills at various hotels, where working men had been cared fo��', and which he would never recover, lie wonnd-np by appealing for the suffrages of his hearers and expressed the hope that every vestige of feeling would vanish after election day. BULLER HEARD FROM AGAIN Trying to Secure Laing's Net. London, June 8.���General Buller has cabled the war office that lie hopes he has obtained a position from which he can render Laing's Nek. untenable. London, June 8.���The war office has received the following dispatch from general Buller: "Yellowboom Farm, June 8th���On June Oth general Talbot Coke, with the Tenth Brigade and South African -Light Horse, siezed Van Wyck Hill. The The enemy made some resistance, and a good deal of sniping occurred. Our casualties were 4 killed, 13 wounded.

Under cover of their fire general Hildyard today assaulted all the spurs betAveen Botha and Inkewelo, The attack was planned by Hildyard, and carried out with immense dash by the troops, for whom no mountains were too steep. They outflanked the enemy . who were forced to retire from a very strong; position^ '���-'.' :, "���'.���- '.������"���' ';,"��� ��� i THEY MADE A PLUCKY STAND And Won Oufc Washington, June 8.���Perhaps the most thrilling incident of the entire Philippine war occurred at Gotubig, on the island of Samar, where on April 15th last a party of thirty-one enlisted men, of company H, 43rd infantry volunteers, held at bay a force of six hundred insurgents during four days of fighting, reinforcements arriving just in time. The war department has received? reports from captain If. M._,Day, of the' 43rd volunteers, and first lieutenant J. T. Sweeny of that regiment, who commanded the rescue party,'giving all the details of.. the attack, the" s\ege and" the relief. According to these reports the attack of the garrison at Gatubig began without, warning on April lath, from the hills on all sides, and from every vantage point in towu. Tuesday morning haudfuls of burning hemp' were thrown into the barracks by insurgents in a church, and soon the soldiers' refuge was on fire. All efforts to subdue the fire failed, and finally the little band made a daslr for the river bank. Some were killed before the bank was reached, others fell down in a boat, in which they were attempting to make the opposite shore, and when a trench was finally dug with bayonets, there were but 18 of the 31 men' left to man it. Here, for two days more, corporal Carson handling his men with the judgment of a veteran, held _out___ under _ a_ terrible fire until Sweeny's command, which had been ordered to supply fche garrison at Gotubig, and was on its way up the river on the Laouwig, arrived. Not until within a quarter of a mile of Gotubig, says lieutenant Sweeny, in hit. report, did they hear the noise of the engagement. Then he realized that he and his men were sorely needed, and ordered the captain of the steamer to run his boat at top speed. The steamer came to Gotubig under a rain of bullets front both shores. The small, boats were lowered, a landing effected, and the rescuers fought their way through the open to their beseiged comrades in the trenches, buried the dead within reach, brought back the beseiged party, numbering only 13 men, and then steamed down the river. Act be put in force,.to keep out the Japanese. 3; Premier Laurier replied that the government would introduce a bill on Monday dealing with this matter. He said, however, that he could not understand the position taken by colonel Prior on the matter. If the Natal Act was adopted there was no need of an increase in per capita tax because the Natal Act would keep put Chinese and Japs. If the present relations ; of Britain and Japan were not to.be disturbed, and it was not desirable that they should when Britain wasfen gaged in war, he would ask, if it'Was wise to do anything that might injure the harmony that prevailed and when the friendly i^sistahce' of Japan was looked for. He didjuot want to say anything about tli(i bill until it was introduced.- .'^4 ���- CANADIANS POORLY TREATED o Strathcona Fixes Matters Up. London, June 8.-*-Harold G. Parsons,-federation delegate from West Australia, writes to the morning 'papers to protest against the treatment giventho wounded Canadians. He says :^ "The iiivalid "Canadians at Shorheycliff camp; who have returned'from . the 'front, complain that they are baldly fed, unhealthy crowded, and refused a furlough. This seems a curious return to make for their conspicuous services, voluntarily rendered, jj.1 have it on un- disputable ^authority, and that it is" 'the practice of the war office to administer the British volunteers, and, for all I - know, the regular army, by means of regulations drafted and issued in great part on no better authority than that of the promoted second-class clerks, a body of gentlemen, no doubt of irreproachable * characters, but men by no means adapted by their intelligence or education to bo^trnsted with so great a responsibility. Such .a CANADA'S GROWING TRADE Fielding's Surplus Grows. Ottawa, June 8.���[Special to The Tribune.]���The statement of the revenue and expenditure of the Dominion for the eleven months, ending May 30th last, shows the revenue to be $45,107,144, an increase of nearly $4,000,000 over the same period last year. There was an increase for May alone of a quarter of a million dollars. The expenditure was $32,575,000, or one million increase Oyer the corresponding eleven months. The difference between the expenditure and revenue, on ordinary, account, shows a surplus of $12,531^568, so that Hon. W. S. Fielding's prediction of having a surplus of $7,500,000 at the end of this month, when the financial year closes, will be fully realized. There are considerable accounts yet to come in. The capital expenditure was $7,288,000, a decrease of $600,000 over last year. Another Filipino Captured. Manila, June S.���General Price de Pilar, the Filipino leader, has been captured near Manila. DULLER MAY MEET BOTHA a delegation. of authority, which is unconstitutional as well as unbusinesslike in itself,-ought to show that the whole war office, from top to bottom, must be reformed if not reconstructed after the" war."

Canadian's says: '"Lord Strathcona has 'investigated the complaint of the men, and the matter has been settled satisfactorily, the^desired furlough being granted. BRITISH IwiNISTETsCORED LAURIER PROMISES REL From Oriental Immigration. Ottawa, June 8.���In the house today, on motion to go into supply, Belcourt of Ottawa, brought up, once again, the Pacific cable scheme. Postmaster-general Mulock pointed but that the government had no information from the imperial authorities of anything being done that would prove fatal to the scheme, and he thought if anything had been done, the Canadian government would be advised of it. Colonel Prior of Victoria brought up the question of Chinese immigration, suggesting that the Chinese poll tax be increased to $500, j Is He a Lightweight ? London, June 8.���The Spectator, commenting on the Chinese difficulty, says it .considers that if the situation becomes acute, the only alternative to a European concert, which would be effective only in thepry,jwouId_be_for_ Bnglond_and. Russia to act together iti a definite agreement. The paper adds: "Thoy alone possess physical power, near enough to the scene, to be of immediate use. England could, Mn this case, use her Indian troops." Continuing, the Spectator strongly opposes any partition of China, and thinks it unsafe to assume that the Chinese soldiers cannot fight. Tho morning papers linger over the Chinese situation, publishing long editorial reviews and conjectures. The Daily Express contends that sir Claude Macdonald is charming personally, but, lacks initiative and strength of character sufficient for the difficult po^t of British minister at Pekin. Jn its news columns ifc tells how sir Claude claimed a British diplomatic victory when the legation ladies, escorted by lady MacDonald, visited the empress dowager, who afterwards, ifc'is alleged, sent this telegram to all the provinces: "As you are aware, these foreign devils have been very troublesome to me lately. Their actions have been very offensive to me. Being a woman, I could not make the ministers come and explain, but today I sent and compelled their women to come and kow tow." The Daily Press, suggests thafc 20,000 Indian troops be dispatched to China to restore order. and that something like the Natal Bay of Quinte Conference. I'our Hoi'K, Ontario, June 8.��� The seventeenth annual session of the Bay of Quinte Methodist conference, opened here yesterday, and elected lie v. W, J. Crowthers, D.D., as president. Troops Now Resting. London, June 9.���0:10 a. m.���." General Buller has at length taken the offensive, and by. manoeuver- has secured a position west of Laing's Nek, by which he believes he can make the Boer position untenable. Presumably he will im- -mediately follow up his success. Lord Roberts has communicated nothing for three days, nor permitted the correspondents to wire what is going'on. London's inference is that he is resting, although he is possibly disposing his army for a race after commandant general Botha. A blockade of tho 'wires, owing to the rush of official correspondence, may account for the scanty press dispatches. Some telegrams filed a week ago, are only just now arriving. Among these are descriptions of the fighting at Elandsfontein. According to one of them, the streets were filled with women and children. Rifle shots could be heard everywhere. The British soldiers would stop firing and join in the chase after chickens. The burghers surrendered to anyone. Kaffirs^ went about looting fche Jewish stores, and mounted infantry galloped hither and thither. The Daily Express has the'following from Pretoria, dated Wednesday: The one thousand prisoners who were deported from Waterval were told that they were aboufc" to be given up to lord Roberts. They cheered, and were conveyed to Noitgedeche instead of Pretoiia.

Middleburg is said to be full of Boor refugees and wounded men. The railway still delivers goods at Bronkhorst Spruit, 10 miles east of Pretoria. A Britibh column is at Brcmensdorp. Eleven British prisoners have been taken to Middleburg. The British at Biera are moving into the* interior in detachments of 200. to put down the disturbance alone. The Tien Tsin correspondent of the Daily Mail, telegraphing June 7th says; "For the last three days, the whole community of Tien Tsin has been preparing to defend itself against an expected attack by tho Boxers, and there is a continual influx of refugees from the surrounding country, who are now crowding the city. This increases the excitement. Nearly all the villages surrounding Tien Tsin are joining the Boxers movement, which is taking more and more a fanatical character. Gieu Nien seems bent upon acting with energy and dealing out heavy blows to the rebels, recognizing the necessity of destroying the prestige of the Boxers, which has begun to demoralize this army. Secret orders from Peking for the protection of the rebels, has paralyzed military action, and raised the status of the Boxers in the eyes of the ignorant masses. Although the Boxers declare their first object is the annihilation of Catholic converts, the wire pullers evidently wish to propagate hatred among the country people against foreigners, and foreign things in general. ' .-;'- London, June 0.���The Pekin" correspondent., of the TKmes, telegraphing June 8th, says: "The American missionary conference today sent a dispatch to president McKiniey, appealing for protection^ and asserting that the missionaries at Pao TingiFu and other places are in extreme danger; that theVTung Chan mission station has been abandoned, 'that chapels have everywhere been burned, and that hundreds of native Christians have been massacred." CHINA AND HER TROUBLES The Boxers Revolt. London, June 9.���Definite returns regarding the severe fighting between vhe Chinese troops and the Boxers, that was going on Thursday between Tien Tsin and Pekin, had nofc been received at Tien Tsin when the latest telegrams to reach London were filed. The Chinese troops, however, h-id killed many Boxers, accoiding fco some reports, while another account had the government soldiers defeated in an engagement near Pao Ting Fu. The representatives of the powers aro still acting in perfect concert, which appears for the present to give tho Chinese government ample chance Temperance Congress Meets Monday.

Taylor & Hannington have received the full text of the judgment of the full court in the celebrated case of Grutchfield vs. Harbottle. This case has an especial interest for mining men. The facts are that a free miner named Beadles of Salmo staked the May Day mineral claim near Ymir, on May 1st, 1897, and on the Oth day. of the same month he gave a bill of" sale to J. H. .Harbottle of. Nelson who neglected to register the same until April 1898. In the interval, namely. July 1897, Beadles allowed his free miners' certificate to lapse, and Harbottle, riot having registered his bill of sale, the ground was relocated by William Grutchfield in October 1897 as the Equalizer. Section 9 of the Mineral Act provides that if a free miner allows his certificate to lapse his mineral claim becomes forfeited to the crown, but if he has a co-owner it is not forfeited, but the whole claim goes to the co-owner, provided the co-owner keeps his certificate alive, which in this instance Harbottle did. Section 49 of the Mineral Act also lias a bearing upon the case in that - it states that while a bill of sale unregistered is good between the parties, yet it is not good as to third parties. Section 50 of' the Act further provides that a bill of sale is not enforceable until it is registered. S. S. Taylor, who conducted the case for Harbottle at the trial, contended that (1) Grutchfield was not a third-party, because unless he could lawfully locate the ground he - could not get the standing of a third party in law; (2) thatGrtitch-' field could uot lawfully locate the ground because Harbottle was a co- owner, and in fact 'the May. Day never became waste land of the crown, aud under section 0 of the act Grutchfield could not locate the ground or get any standing until such happened. \ At the trial of the action Mr. justice Martin held for the plaintiff ' Grutchfield ; holding that Grutchfield was a third party, and fchat while Harbottle,5 was a co-owner under section 9/yefc all his" rights of co-ownership were postponed to Grutchfiold's rights .because liar-. bottle had nofc registered his bill of sale in the meantime. The case wis appealed to the full court at Victoria, and-the unanimous judgment of the court reversed the judgment of Mr. justice Martin, and as given by chief justice McCall is in the following words: ''The facts are fully stated in the judgment of Mr. justice Martin. '���There i^, apparently a conflict between sections 10 and 50 of tho act. The former provides thafc an assignment, though not reeoided within a time limit, shall be valid as between-the parties; -and fche latter that it shall not be enforceable between them until after having been recorded. "In my opinion the failure to record did nofc result in the claim becoming waste lands of the crown, open to location. "Au assignment is ordinarily enforceable against an unwilling party only by some legal process, aud I think that section .10 could and ought to bu construed a�� meaning merely that the court should not afford relief before record of assignment ; thus giving effect to both sections. , I think the reason for this is to be found in the provision for payment of a fee for each record. "The appeal is allowed with costs." The property involved in this case is now a very valuable one.* Some $2000 worth of work has been done upon ifc and ifc is said to be worth something like $30,000.

Candidate Hall has not the nerve to commend the scheme to Nelson men; but at Ymir it is different. Before the campaigu closes The Tjuijuxe desires to compliment caudidate Fletcher upon the manner in which he has conducted his personal end of the campaign. Since the campaign opened it has never been charged against him that he took advantage of the absence of his opponents to wilfully misrepresent them. With candidate Hall it has been different.

One of the candidates is already out of the race. The Miner yesterday dropped candidate Hall, The electors today will, drop candidate Fletcher. The arrangements for taking the vote in tho City of Nelson were completed lasfc eveniiig by A. B. Sinekworth, lefcurning of/icer, and they are such that although the polls will be open for two and a half hours longer than heretofore the result of the voting will be ascertained almost as quickly. The voting will take place in the building on I Vernon street, occupied by the Houston supporters as a committee room, and instead of one returning officer there will be a returning officer and four deputies, making virtually five separate polling booths. The first compartment will be reserved for voters whose names come in between A and E inclusive, the second for F and J, the third for K and M, the fourth for Mc and P, and the fifth for Q and Z. A .special constable will be at the door? to direct electors to their respective compartments, and as each deputy returning officer will have less than 2,10 ballots to count the returns should be available half an hour after the poll closes.

Smith, the mineral surveyor of Cape Nome, have returned by the steamer Bertha, bringing news from the faraway district to March SG. They y made the trip in 2S days.''. Mr. Kurtz; reports that about twelve miles of beach claims were being worked when he left. He expected the yield during the coming summer to amount to millions of dollars. About '100 miners worked .on tho beach, of wliich 15 per cunt worked continuously, the others only as they pleased. On March MS, the date the men lef t Nome, there were between 1700 and 2000 miners at work on the beach. ^Regarding the general conditions in Nome itself, Mr. Smith reports that since the latest advices received on the outside there have been no" outbreaks, lawlessness or crime, further than what would naturally result with gambling aiid its' various associate evils going on. The city government is fully competent to handle the crowd of rough?, who, with a lax system of protection might have developed a siege of terror and crime. "People on the outside can hardly realize the extent of or richness of the valleys, beach, tundra and mountains included in what is generally known as the Nome district. 3a the first place the aiea of the country in which rich strikes have been made extends ,70 miles back from the beach tit Nome, aiul how much further is only guess woik at piesent.,and for 270 miles east and Most. (iold has> been found in lum- dicds of creeks prospected this spring northward clear to Cape .Prince of Wales. Fully -WOO men f-pent the entire winter in prospecting and locating claims. "A rich strike on Ungalaltblik, going SO,cents to tho pan, was reported in February. This is east of the Norton Bay country. The two ciccks which have been opened so tis to give a fair idea of their real ehaiacter are Bryant and McKiniey, between Golofnin Bay" and Norton Bay. It is said and believed to be ji conservative enough estimate that .tho.-o creeks will prove to be the j ichest proper! ies in the whole district. Other rich strikes and locations have been made in the Anaconda district. "Rich old Russian workings havo. been found iu the Golden Gate dis- tiict, A Russian started the excitement. His name was Joe Scli'eschick. It was reported that from all appearances at some former period the discovery had been ^ivoiked by Russian prospectors. At 1 Ovist the indications were that such "^ wtis the case. Tho ground is said to be very rich. 11 is thought that theie aro mimbeisof these old Russian diggings in the country, which Jtavo been deserted for some reason or other, and that when they are found they will prove to be very lieli. Jt is, well known that Russian prospectors- were in the country yoai"-i aud years ago, and that considerable gold was taken out, but in the course of time they either died off or left and made their way back to their homes, and the loca- 1 ions of the diggings eventually disappeared. "Rich-quartz has been found on the Kusrikue. I have brought some of the samples out with me, and they assay $800 to the ton. The Kusrikue is a tributary of the Ani- imiiu river. Jiowing into Graneley Harbor, in the Port Clarence district. "Port Safety promises to become one of the biggest little towns in the country. Just before 1 left lots in the town were selling for $2000, and in good demand at that. K very- thing is booming, and the prospect of a railway to Nome pleases everybody. It is conceded that Port Safety will soon be the salt water entianee into the Cape Nome country. "Last year there was an inconceivable amount of goods lost or Is now prepared to issue Drafts and Letters of Credit on Skaguay, TT. S., Atlin, B. C, and Dawson City, N". W. T. destroyed through lightering it ashore to the beach at Nome. At the best it is a tiresome and costly job. Of course, most of the stuff this year will have to be lightered to shore from the vessels out in the bay, but just as soon as the tracks of the railroad are down and the rolling stock in running order there will be no more of it. Then wharves will be erected at Port Safety and goods loaded direct from the steamer to the cars alongside. The survey for this railroad has been completed, and as I understand that the material has already been shipped from Seattle, Avork will undoubtedly commence at once, as soon as the material can be takenashore. "Lumber when I leffc Nome was selling at $500 a thousand, and even at those figures there was a great demand for the article. There is no doubt but that prices will be greatly reduced as soon as the many cargoes now on the way up arrive, but still the shippers will undoubtedly realize handsome profits on their ventures. "Rich quartz strikes have been made all the-way from Norton Bay to Cape Prince of Wales. On both sides of the mountains, ledges carrying rich metal'have beeu found. Until, the Ararious locations are more fully opened up this summer there is hardly any use of telling much about them, but there is no question but that the future of the Nbine' district has an excellent backing in its quartz deposits."

Villorais, a Frenchman, who has lived- many years in South Africa, writes about the attitude of the Boers towards the blacks. He says: "The constitution of the Transvaal declares that there cannot exist or be admitted any equality in church or state between whites and those who have among their anccstois, even the fourth generation, one who was not white. "Ou Augu,st 20th, 1898, the volksraad rejected a motion to release native pastors and teachers fiom wearing on thoir arm a metal badge (which the native |dwellers in cities must carry) to show that they are in the service of the white man ; in default of which the black is imprisoned for vagabondage. "The black has no legal rights. The magistrate is at liberty to admit or reject the complaint or testimony of a native as he sees best. This explains why, in the month of, June last, apropos of a discussion upon a Ibav on the deprivation of civil rights, the attorney-general spoke thus of the murder of aljlack; "Not every sentence for murder is degrading. Supposing, for instance, a Man is condemned to prison for six months for haying beaten his native servant to death, it is evident ou the face of it that that would bo no reason for depriving him of his rights as a citizen and voter.5 ^'TheJ}]ack_can. jirither_rent__nor own land. At his good pleasure the Boer allows the native to live in a corner of liis farm, in return for which the native must render such service tis his master demands. '"A", in ot der to escape such servitude, the blacks rush to the mines and missions, the 'plakker- swefc' was adopted. This law limits to five the number of native families allowed on the same estate or holding. * "Tho natives who do not work in mines and who are not apprenticed to Boors are confined on lands from whicli they can at any time be expelled after three months' warning." The Boer, we are told, who owns uo farms pays but $2 a year tax; the owners of a farm but 90 cents ; whereas tho black who can be nothing but a laborer is taxed $13. Last year the natives of certain districts were called upon to pay $30 a head���tiie taxes of the current year, as well as for preceding famine years during which it had not been posoiblcto squeeze anything out of them, M. Villerais continues t "The state commissioners who receive salaries varying from $1500 to $2000 plus 5 per cent of the taxes taken by them, do a flourishing business. Taeir modus operand is as follows: When a black can not pay his tax he is sent to work in the mines. Recently a band of 100 Mich was conducted by the police to Johannesburg. Now the companies which are short of help pay from ��1 to ��2 per head to the recruiter who brings them workmen. The commissioner acts as recruiting sergeant, and pockets Nelson Branch���Burns Block, 221 Baker Street J. M. LAY, Manager. the bonus. During the session of September 25th, 1899, a member of the volksraad declared that he was acquainted with a commissioner who made $50,000 a year in this way. . "When a semi-independent tribe, pushed to the wall, refuses to pay, it is attacked, its villages burned, and harvest and cattle carried off; the men of the tribe being shared among the 'braves' who made the campaign, whom they must serve for five years without payment. If they ishow any signs of thinking of flight, they are killed without meres'. This was done in 1894 in the south of Zoutpansberg, and in 1898 in the north of that district. "Such is the legislation and such has been the practice of the Boers, There is but one name for such a regime���feudalism. The comparison is perfect. The owners of the land are the lords; the blacks are serfs attached to the soil, not allowed to hold land; taxable and exposed to forced labor at the whim of their masters. The commissioners are the bailiffs who used to oppose and crush the people in the name of the sovereign." Better Ouftook for Missionaries. New Yohk, June 8."��� The anxiety which lias been felt in regard to missionaries in China was partially allayed today by the receipt of a cable from Dr. J. W. Hendy, one of the board's oldest missionaries in China. The board cabled Tuesday for information, and. the reply, which came today, reads: "Still"danger." This is taken to indicate that no serious depredations have been made as yet by the Boxers. The Presbyterian board has 58 American missionaries in tiie Shang. Tung province. The American board has also received a cable stating that all American missionaries are well, but that the government is do- moralized, and advising that help be requested from the state department. - ��� NELSON RIDING TO '!

JOHN HOUSTON ORE MOVING AGAIN. The Trail smelter this week closed a long contract for tho ore from the Enterprise mine on Slocan lake, the largest shipper in the Slocan, also with the Ymir mine in the Nelson district. Heavy shipments from the Payne, which commenced this week, are arriving daily at the smelter. The Queen Bess, at Three Forks, has about 1000 tons ready for shipment. This would have been shipped before but for the bad roads. The road now being fixed, this will be forwarded at once, and stetidy shipment? continued. Considerable ore was also received this week from the Hewitt, Molly Gibson, Ajax Fraction and American Boy in the Slocan, and from the Sullivan .group in Hast Kootenay. Other shippers were the Wakefield, Bosun, B. C, Brandon & Golden Crown, Winnipeg and Cariboo. While it is not yet definitely settled, it is expected that work on another lead furnace at the Trail smelter will commence shortly to handle the immense shipments now arriving. _ Some Heavy Sentences.

The Provincial Party candidate held Jbia final meeting here tonight, and both *,he and Keen got a good reception. Green's supporters declare that their man will have a bigger majority than when he beat Ratallack by 100 votes. They believe that Green will poll as many i votes as Kane and Keen together. This is a rather sanguine view to take. Of cour&e there is hardly a shadow of doubt that Green will be elected, but George Kane has made quite a number of friends of late and he has a better chance now than on nomination day. tie will certainly save his deposit. That much could not be said of him two weeks ago. John Keen has neither gone forward nor backward. Thei'e are a certain number of votes which will be polled for him in any event and they are enough to put him in second place. The betting is iu favor of Green, A Successful Bank.
