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.

Frank Collom has control of the Mabou and Ohio group, situated just above the Enterprise on Ten- milo, and being tho last propurty between that mine and the Arlington. Jt is the third boud made by Mr. Collom in as many weeks, and lie now has all the ground under control from the Arlington to the Enterprise. To secure this ground,' it has cost Mr. Collom $126,000 iu option valuations, being $55,000 for the Speculator, $0000 for the Gertie R., and now $65,000 for the Mabou aud Ohio. The bond is similar to the others signed, calling for a certain amount of development during the life of the agreement. A first payment of five por cent is to be paid on December 4th, and a similar sum nine months from date, and the balance on September 4th, 1901. The properties iu the group are the Empress Fraction, Mabou, Ohio and the Summit Fraction. The owners are R. L. Kirkwood, Frank Wells, A. Tunks and George Williamson of New Denver: Duncan Grant of Silverton and Mrs. C. E. Smitheriiigale of Slocan. " The papers are held in the Bank of Montreal in this city. The group is one of the best known in the camp and was staked immedialy after the Enterprise. It is situated immediately above the Enterprise and NeepaAva. Both veins have beeu cut and opened up, eaclr showing ore. The group will alsocover the Arlington vein coming over from Springer creek. Upwards of $7000 worth of work has beeu > done upon the property in the way of opening up the. leads. Last Monday the Enterprise lead was encountered in the crosscut tunnel on the Mabou, at a depth of over 60 feet and about the -same distance from the mouth of the drift. The lead is upwards of a foot in width and shows good ore scattered through the quart/., though little of it is as yet clean' mineral. Ou the - surface the vein has beeu cut in half a dozen'places, sliowhig the same characteristics as in the Enterprise group. RUSSIA'S CHINESE RIDDLE Not Yet Solved. London, September 8.���The Chinese crisis presents no new features this morning. Nothing appears to be certain. Regarding Russian action various statements are made in Vienna and Berlin, with an assumed air of authority, but the balance of opinion leads to the belief that Russia is still inclined to adhere to her decision to quit Pekin, whatever the other powers mydo. The studiously moderate tone of _omperor-William'sspeech-at-Stettin- is much remarked. There -was nothing of the "mailed fist" or of revenge in his utterances. According to the Standard's Moscow cor- ' respondent, Russia's programme mainly concerns Manchuria, and she needs .roops from Pekin to as- I sist in the seizure of that province, which is looked upon as another Egypt. Her withdrawal from Pekin is considered an attempt to pose as a sincere adherent of the principles of the Hague conference. The Tien-Tsin correspondent of the Standard, wiring August 30th, says: "The Germans paired with the Americans in .the march through the forbidden city. The British naval brigade and the marines of the legation guards left Pekin today." The Pekin correspondent of the Morning Post, in a dispatch dated August 28rd, says: ''Mr. Conger has written a letter asserting that without the aid of the American missionaries the. defence of the legations would have been impossible. According to this corie- spondeut the United States minister has received congratulatory telegrams from president McKiniey and others." The Stellar Polar Expedition. Christiana, September 7.���Fur- || ther details regarding the expedition of the duke of Abrussi, on board the Stellar Polar, whose safe return was reported yesterday from Tromsoe, Norway, show that the expedition last year, through Nightingale sound and the British | The Queen Will Visit the Empress. Berlin, September 7.���It is said in court circles here that queen Victoria will visit dowager empress Frederick next month, unless the latter's condition meanwhile should considerably improve, which is not probable. ^_ Fatal Gun Explosion. Vienna, September 7.���During the Austrian military manoeuvres today on the borders of Galicia and Bohemia, a big gun exploded, returned to Teplitz bay, Crown Prince Rudolph's Land, where the Stellar Polar was frozen in about Ssptember 1st. The duke of Abrussi's fingers were frost bitten on a trial sledge trip at Christmas, aud two joints were amputated, obliging him to remain for several mouths in hi.s tent. On August 8th the Stella Polar started homeward. She traversed the British canal in a single day and then drifted about for a fortnight in a severe struggle with drift ice before reaching the open sea. RICH CLAIMS AROUND ATLIN Create Much Excitement. Seattle, September 7.���The City of Seattle, which arrived from Skagway, had on board in round figures $700,000 worth of Klondike gold. Of this amount $530,760 was a consignment by the Canadian Bank of Commerce at Dawson, and $43,200 consigned by a gentleman named James Brown. Besides these amounts the purser had charge of a number of smaller, quantities of gold. Iu addition to the gold dust many passengers brought out considerable amounts in the shape of drafts issued by the Dawson banks. The belief is that the Seattle passengers had from $75,000 to $100,000, of whicli the purser and ship's officers hadno knowledge. There was hardly standing room in the purser's office. The ship's safe was crowded full. " Boxes and sacks of gold were piled up in every nook and corner. Nearly $20,000 worth of Klondike treasure was received by the steamer Aberdeen, which arrived from Skagway early in the afternoon. .The bulk of this wealth was owned by three men. She sailed from Skagway on August 30th. Lewis H. Pratt, a member of the Skagway bar, who has just returned from'the Porcupine district, where he has properties, reports that Glacier creek, which is on the British side of the boundary, is rich in gold, and that claims oh the creek are being worked extensively, and nuggets to the value of as high as $50 are being "taken out. He is of the opinion that there will be trouble between British- Colum- .biaus and Americans over claims which the latter have staked and are now within the boundary claimed by the Canadians. Whitley and Finley, on a bench on Porcupine creek, from one space six feet by eight feet, cleared up $4000. For a few days the pay dirt ran as high as $100 to the pan. There is a rush to this new Eldorado in Atlin. No lives were lost by the wreck of the steamer Bonanza King, which mishap occurred in 50-Mile river, one of the headwaters of the Yukon, on the 25th ultimo. She ran on the rocks while en route from White Horse to Dawson, tearing a great hole in her bottom. It is believed, however, that the vessel can be floated and repaired. Her cargo -isrepor ted-to-be a -total���loss;���She had on board several hundred tons of miners' supplies aud general merchandise, a large quantity of which, was from Vancouver and Victoria. k Skirmishes in the Transvaal. London, September 7. ��� Lord Roberts reports from Belfast under date of Wednesday, September Sth, as follows: "Ian Hamilton traversed Dubstroom yesterday with slight opposition. Buller engaged the enemy's left this morning and Hamilton is endeavoring to turn his right. A largo force of Boers with two guns and one pompom this morning attacked 125 of the Canadian Mounted infantry guarding the railway between Pan and Wondersfontein. Mahon proceeded to their assistance, but the little garrison had beaten off the enemy before he arrived. It was a very creditable performance. The wounded were major Handers and lieutenant Moodie, slightly wounded, and two men. Six men are missing. NEW ATLANTIC MAIL ROUTE Will Save Eight Hours. New York, September 7.���A dispatch to the World from London says: An official communication has been received from Dover con- corning the use of that port by the new line of Transatlantic mail steamers to be built and owned in the United States and called the Atlantic Shipping Company. This company has been formed for the purpose of running weekly^ steamers between New York and England and the continent and, it is stated, is to be subsidized by the United States for carrying mails. The first port for these liners on this side of the Atlantic will be Berehaven on the'extreme southwest of Ireland, at the entrance of Bantry bay. This is a naval station for the British fleet and is defended by forts erected on an island and on the mainland. It contains all the necessaries, including depth of water, for such a port. , Among the bills passed by parliament last session was one enabling a railway to be constructed from the pier.in Berehaven harbor almost in a straight line to Ross- lare, on the east coast, where the Great Western railway of England is now establishing a line of fast mail steamers to do the fifty-seven miles passage to Fishguard, Wales, in two and three-quarter hours. The effect of this arrangement will be that a special train leaving Berehaven with mails and passengers will be at Paddington in less than 13 hours. This, as- compared with the Queenstown route, is a clear gain of over eight hours in time, as Berehaven is six hours west of Queenstown. On the many occasions of stormy weather, when .mail steamers can; not get into Queenstown,- and must proceed to Liverpool, the gain will be increased, as Berehaven harbor is available in all weathers. It has two entrances, perfectly sheltered, with. 40 to 50 fathoms of water. The steamers of this new line are to be constructed to maintain an average speed of 25 knots across the Atlantic, a United States subsidy being conditional on this speed. Breaking Bicycle Records. . Boston, September 7.���Some great record breaking was done in tonight's two hours riding in the Golden Vase event at the Charles River Park, the existing records for one hour and up to two hours being broken. The previous record for two hours riding was made last Wednesday by Stinson, 67 miles, 1470 yards. Tonight Archie Mc- Eaehern, the Canadian champion, went 69 miles, 612 yards. Stinson and McEachern were the principal riders tonight, and the result for four hours riding gives the lead to Stinson with the ereditof 136 miles, 17 yards. Harry Elkes, middle dis- tance champio"' rode an exhibition, five miles motor paced in 8.09 4-5, breaking the record for two miles of 3.16 1-5 by a fifth of a second. Industrial Troubles in Manchester. London, September 6.���The morning papers comment upon the seriousness of the crisis which has arisen at Manchester, where great suffering is likely to occur by the enforced idleness of the cotton operatives, especially if, as is not improbable, the stoppage continues into October. The prospects of a satisfactory American crop is regarded as slender. McFadden Was Worsted. Piiiladelhhia, September 7.��� Joe Gans, Baltimore, and George McFadden of New York fought six rounds tonight at the Pennsylvania Athletic Club. Gans had the best of the go. Although there was considerable clinching throughout tht six rounds, both men seemed to have done their Very best. Neither man was in the best of condition. canal, reached as far north as 82.4,1 killing four men outright and | but finding no wintering harbor, it fatally wounding 18 others. Russia May Compromise. London, September 8. ��� It is asserted by the Austrian foreign office, according to the Vienna correspondent of the Daily Mail, that Russia has agreed to compromise, leaving a portion of the troops in Pekin and sending the main body to Tien-Tsin, which will be the military headquarters. The Consul Was Mad. Dawson, August 24.���Americans residing in the Klondike are reported to be indignant over an insult alleged to have been offered ' United States consul McCook during the recent visit to the city cf governor-general Minto. It is said that consul McCook was not invited to attend the reception tendered lord Minto, aud that he was so obviously ignored that lord Minto noticed the fact and insisted on consul McCook's presence. The latter was informed of lord Minto's wish, and came to the gathering. Lord Minto and consul McCook are reported tt have talked long and earnestly together concerning various government matters. RECEPTION TO LORD MINTO Placed in-Committee's Hands. At an adjourned meeting of the city council last night arrangements were made to extend a- welcome to the earl of Minto, governor-general of .Canada, who will be in the city on Wednesday next. A sudden change in the itinerary of the viceregal party has made it possible to spend that day in Nelson, and the corporation will co-operate with the board of trade in extending a hearty welcome to the distinguished visitors. A special committee was appointed consisting of aldermen Arthur, Morrison and Irvine to take charge of the matter with power to act. The city has a large amount of flags and bunting'which will be hung to the best advantage by the members of the firo department. The suggestions made by the council last night included a banquet at one of the hotels or on the school grounds if weather permits. An address from the corporation, suitably engrossed, will be read by the city clerk, and presented to the governor-general by the mayor. A civic half holiday will probably be proclaimed. - ' The local company of the Rocky Mountain Rangers was seen yesterday and" volunteered to form a guard of honor. The regimental band will also parade. On Sunday night a representative of the council will go to Robson. to meet the vice-regal party en route to; Rossland and secure' such*-" other information as is necessary to complete the arrangements for the reception. Thomas Symes, assistant sanitary inspector, reported having inspected plumbing at the rear of the Waverley hotel, which was contrary to the bylaw and very offensive to the hotel people. The waste fiom a sink and from two stables was being dumped into Ward creek and the matter had been placed before the medical health officer. On motion of aldermen Arthur and Morrison it was resolved to notify the owners to abate the nuisance at once, failing which prosecutions .will be instituted. ANOTHER MOVE EXPECTED Found Against the.Company. Lansdale, Pa., September 7.��� The coroner's jury which has been investigating the cause of the .wreck on���the���Philadelphia���&- Reading railroad at Hatfield, last Sunday, in which 13 persons were killed and over 50 injured in a collision between a milk traiu and a crowded excursion, today rendered a verdict fixing the responsibility upon the railroad company, engineer John Davis, and conductor Thomas Shelby of the colliding excursion train, D. B. Elder, telegraph operator atSouderon, which is next to Hatfield, and W. S. Goyes, train despatcher in the Reading terminal station at Philadelphia. The extent to which the company is held responsible is its failure to strictly observe the rule requiring five minutes at least between trains, and the absence of block signal service. The jury recommends a strict observation of the five minute rule and the continuation of the block system to Bethlehem. Murdered the Watchman. Marshall, Missouri, September 7.���H. H. Mowrey, night operator on the Chicago & Alton railway, was held up last night by three masked robbers. While the men were rifling the station money drawer, night watchman Aulgur appeared, and pointing his revolver through the door, commanded the men to surrender. He was immediately shot in the eye by one of the robbers, and died soon after. The robbers decamped. Freight Rates Advanced. London, September.���The shipping firms engaged in the Canadian trade have agreed to an advance of ten per cent in freight rates because of the advance in coal and other J Washington steamship stores. Opposed to the Withdrawal. London, September 7.���The London chamber of commerce has received a telegram from the Hong Kong chamber of commerce, coupled with a request that it be communicated to the British foreign office, advocating the continuation of the occupation of Pekin until a proper government has been established, and the guilty officials have been punished, and pointing out that an early withdrawal would be disastrous to foreign prestige in China. The dispatch, together with a special letter from the Loudon chamber of commerce, recommending it as deserving of consideration, has been sent to lord Salisbury. Expect Russia to Yield. Berlin, September 7.���Evidently the German foreign oflice reckons with the possibility that Russia will yield to the powers, and will not withdraw her troops from Pekiu. Discussing this question today, a high foreign official said: "Germany does not understand the dispatches to mean By Washington Authorities. Washington, September 7.���Minister Wu arrived in Washington tonight, from Cape May, and although it was near the close of -the official day, he proceeded- direct to the state department. It is understood that he had received an intimation that the department officials were desirous of conferring with him hence his return to Washington. For nearly an hour the minister was closeted with acting secretary H ill and assistant secretary Adee, the trio beiug locked in meantime, and not even the messengers allowed an entrance. Nono of the parties to the conference were communicative as to the conference, but at its conclusion, Dr. Hill repaired to the White House, with a portfolio well filled with papers. ��� For several hours preceding the minister's visit, acting secretary Hill and assistant secretary Adee had been engaged in short conferences, and it was gathered that the negotiations relative to China were approaching another phase, and that another announcement of some kind was in preparation. The fact is recalled, that when the United States made its response to the Russian note on the 20th ultimo, the officials here expressed the belief that about a week's time would be required to determine upon the next step, and at the end of that time it would be definitely known whether or not the troops were to be withdrawn from Pekin. That period of time has now elapsed. " ,---.._���_ The reports from "the European chancellors indicate that officially at least this important subject is being treated with the greatest deliberation, and. at least another week and probably even more time may be consumed in framing the last of the answers to the Russian note. The consultations with Mr. Wu are. believed to have been inspired by a desire to ,learn something of the personality, of Chinese notables whose names have been suggested as proper to constitute the Chinese side of any commission which may be named to arrange a settlement of the difficulties. Mr. Wu is an ardent adherent of earl Li. There is much speculation here as to the personnel of the American commissioners in case the peace negotiations -should be entrusted to such a body, and the names of men prominent in international affairs in recent years all have been canvassed. Included in the list is the name of general John W. Foster, but it is regarded as much more probable that if he appears at all in the negotiations it will be in his old place as a representative of the Chinese government. He was associated with Li.LIung Chang during the peace negotiations which closed the-Ghino-Japanese_warraird'~rt��� is" said that earl Li has a high sense of appreciation of his work for China then. There was a dearth of official information from China today. Mr. Chaffee got through a dispatch dated September 1st, at Pekin, indicating that couriers are still employed to close the gap in the line of communication between Tien- Tsin and Pekin. This dispatch made no mention of the military situation, and it was inferred that affairs in Pekin remain quiet. withdraw their troops. So far as Russia is concerned it must be borne in mind that she did not put forth her proposition of withdrawal as a sine quo non, but only tentatively, and for the purposes of discussion." On attention being called to the sharp criticisms of Russia's attitude in a section of the German press, the foreign office official remarked: "Our press is discussing the question for the most part in a wholly amicable spirit, and those papers that are attacking Russia are pursuing a policy of their own." CERMANY'S NAVAL DISPLAY } that the United States intend to Third Arbitrator Appointed. Winnipeg, September 7.���J. A. M. Atkins, Q. C, the C. P. R. company's arbitrator, and 'president O'Connell, representing the men, in the settlement of the machinists' scale of wages could not agree, and called on chief justice Killam to appoint a third man. He has named Robert Strang, vice-president of the board of underwriters, who will act. Will Be Something Big. Berlin, September 7.���Emperor William's speech at Stettin today is here interpreted to mean that his plan of overcoming the present' difficulties in China will be adopted by the powers. This goes to show as has been claimed all along, that Germany in the China matter is following the personal policy of the kaiser. A number of leading journals condemn such a course as in contravention of the constitution of the empire. The Gugenwast, a high class periodical, concludes an article as follows :*' '��� Surely it is high time to determine the question whether our political life can be justly called, constitutional, or whether we are steering towards absolutism." From the present instructions of the naval department, Germany will make the strongest naval demonstration ever made in- Shang-Hai, namely ten^ warships,, with 3200 nion.and 166 gnus. Of these vessels four wii-L .he large cruisers, four others will be somewhat smaller, and two will -be gunboats. A special dispatch from Amoy says that both the Japanese and British marines were withdrawn today and everything there is quiet. Special despatches to the Cologne Gazette announce that all classes of . the Chinese population believe that the Chinese have' been victorious over the allied troops. Striking illustrations of this are given. Guarding Against Plague. Ottawa, September 7.���When there arose a fear last winter that the bubonic plague might be imported to this continent from China the Dominion health authorities prepared and issued in January last special quarantine regulations, wliich were published and intended for use on the Pacific coast. These regulations could be applied on the Atlantic coast if necessity should arise. As soon as the rumor of the very recent outbreak of the plague in Giasgow reached here, the department communicated with the health officers at Washington, who were thus first made aware of the rumor. As it is necessary that the whole continent sho_uld_act in.unison- if there is to be any danger of the disease coming from Glasgow, it has been arranged that United States surgeon Thomas at Glasgow, who has had experience elsewhere of this disease, shall inspect all ships leaving that port for America, but Canada will also appoint a medical officer there to assist him. It appears from cable dispatches that the authorities in Glasgow were not certain that the cases under suspicion were bubonic until Friday last, and now they report twelve cases, completely isolated and in a district such a distance from the wharves that no danger of its importation to America need be felt unless the disease should spread to a much larger area. Communica tion was also opened with the lines running from Glasgow to Canada��� the Allan, Elder-Dempster, Red- ford, Dominion and McLean-Kennedy���all of whom have signified their intention to take every precaution in the way of examining all passengers coming . on . board their vessels, and also by guarding tho hawsers from rats, which is thought to have been the way the disease was carried from China to India and elsewhere. ROBBING DAWSON SLUICES News From the North. Victoria, September 7.���By the Tee9, news is brought of a sluice '., box robbery in Dawson on August;^ 21st. Bradley and Dunham, owri-.^ ers of the hillside claim opposite? the upper half of 30 on the left"v limit, are sufferers to tho extent of \ . $300 in dust.

John McKane of Rossland was in the city yesterday returning from the Lardo country where the company of which he is president is developing the Lavina-Butte properties. The work at present consists of tunnelling to tap the vein at the 400 foot level. By the end of the month the tunnel will be in 300 feet. The Beichsrath Dissolved.

Turner, Wells and Prentice should be no more, has occasioned no little amusement here ���more particularly among those who are in the know. For the benefit of the World, as well as of the general public, it may now be said with confidence that there will be no reconstruction for the present at- all events. Hon.

Not only aro the com- ' panies operating making most favorable showings, but new companies are continually coming in, and few days in the week go by in which some bona fide transfer of developed property is not recorded. The most encouraging feature of the present condition is that there is no boom on. Investors are passing over boomed districts and selecting Nelson properties simply on account of their individual worth. The Kamloops board of trade has decided to call a convention to be held in Kamloops. on Thursday, the 27th instant, for the purpose of organizing a good roads association. The nomination of William Mac- Lain as a labor candidate in Westminster district would be a mistake. It would be courting certain defeat, and might result in' destroying whatever political influence the labor party at Vancouver has. Another thing worth remembering is that with MacLain as its candidate the labor party would be carrying a very heavy handicap.

Another process has been devised for treating those metallurgical puzzles, the Sudbury copper-nickel ores. The new process is the invention of H. A.

The ores are reduced to matte in the usual way, but the copper, nickel, platinum, etc. are removed from this matte by electrolysis in a chloridizing solution. It is stated that chlorine ��� and bleaching powder can be had as byproducts. The laboratory tests made are said to be very satisfactory, but what can be done on a commercial scale remains to be seen. The process is to have a public demonstration in a few days. The Population of Hong Eong. According to the last census the population of Hong Kong numbered 221,441.

Railways in Japan; In 1872 Japan had 18 miles of railways. Ten years later, in 1882, the country possessed 170 miles, and today the mikado's empire has 3420 miles of railways, of which 768 miles are the property of the state, while 2652 are private lines. The private lines are owned by 42 companies, of which the Nippon Railway Company is the most powerful. Its capital amounts to $23,- 000.000. The total rolling stock on the state and private lines at the end of last year was as folkrws: 1103 locomatives, 3911 passenger and 14,088 freight cars. The Lemon Creek Road. A big gang of men is "now employed on the Lemon creek road, there being 90 men now engaged in its construction, more men having been put on a few days ago. They are shoving the road ahead as fast as possible, in order to get the mill machinery and cable gear up before the snOw flies. The survey makes the centre road just seven miles long, of which five miles;are about finished.. More Distress in Newfoundland.

Without doubt the loneliest woman���that is to say, the one farthest removed from her kind��� in all the United States of America is Mrs. Clark, the wife of major E. W. Clark, government agent of the Pribylof or Seal islands, in Bering sea.-. . .'..'.. .-..:7,7.-....-..'.-...���,.,.,.......'.-.-.... ... This group, composed of the tiyo small islands of St. Paul and St. George, is the home of nearly all the seals remaining in existence, and they are about 1800 miles west of the entrance to Puget sound, and about 200 miles "northwest of the Aleutian islands, beginning at Uni- mak pass. St. George, which is the smaller of the two, being about six by twelve miles in extent, is 40 miles Iroiii St. Paul, and has a population of about 100 Aleuts and four or five whites, consisting of major Clark and his wife, a physician and two or three clerks for the North Amer- i<aa Commercial Company, which . controls th'e seal business and has ; stores and warehouses on both islands. The little village of St. ��� George contains 25 or 30 houses, including the company's buildings, the agent's house and a Greek ��� church. There are no other houses on the islands, and Mrs. Clark is the only white woman. Her home is a small cottage of four rooms, very cozy and comfortable, with books and pictures and a fine outlook over the sea. Mrs. Clark's nearest neighbor is the wife of the agent on St. Paul, who is less lonely because she has with her two small children. THE BANK OF BRITISH COLUMBIA NELSON Is now prepared to issue Drafts and Letters of Credit on Skagnay, U. S., Atlin, B. 0., and Dawson City, N. W. T. There is no communication between the islands except by one of the company's ships aud by revenue cutters, as other ships are not permitted to visit them. These ships come only in the summer,-and-froni���October��� until June Mrs. Clark does not expect to see anyone or hear anythiug from the United States, or to send word home, no matter what happens. St. George is absolutely without trees, but,- its rolling surface and mountain, a thousand feet high, and beautifully green with coarse grass and moss, and wild flowers of brilliant hues dot tho level stretches near the sea. Blue foxes abound, and over the rocks at the water's edge thousands and thousands of seals in ceaseless activity disport themselves noisily day and night, from June until December, while millions of waterfowl fill air and sea and flutter about the cliffs. Three hundred days in the year the weather is dark and dismal, and fogs hide the islands for days at a time. The cold is never excessive, biit the winter storms are severe, and terrible gales sweep over sea and land. There is no harbor, and ships come to anchor a mile or more from shore. THE LYTTON DREDGE. Inland Sentinel. John Cobledick, manager of the Cobledick New Zealand gold dredge on the Fraser near Lytton, reports that the dredge has been in operation for the past month and that he is more than satisfied with the results attained. The dredge is in operation every hour of the twenty- four, the men working three shifts. Every twenty-four hours 1500 cubic yards of gravel is taken from the bottom of the stream and passed over the treating tables. This may not appear a large amount at first sight, but when it is understood that this Imperial Bank of Ganada HEAD OFFICE. TORONTO.

Mr. Cobledick says the mechanical part of tho dredge is perfection, but that owing to the complicated nature nature of the gold saving apparatus some changes will be made from time to time as the necessity is demonstrated. Ib is possible to move the entire dredge from side to side of the river (which is 1000 feet wide) in five minutes. Operations will be continued as long as the weather will allow, which may be all winter. The only difficulty in the way of winter operation will be frost, which will not allow the freo passage of water over the treating tables. Gold is now being brought to the St. JOSEPH'S SCHOOL NKLSON.

Hewitt Eostock's Assignment. The Colonist. Hewitt Bostock, M. P., assigned his real and personal estate today to C. J. Helliwell, accountant, for the benefit of his creditors. The assignment has been duly registered. The Province Publishing Company is not included in the Bostock estate, but the B. C. Printing & Lithographing Company is included���in-the^assetsf=-The=as-= signment caused much surprise among those who heard the news. The assignment was due to numerous large unprofitable investments in the province, althoughthe estate comprised among its assets many valuable investments and would pay over 100 cents on the dollar. Mr, Bostock, however, realizing that necessary large 3iims were not available ready to satisfy immediate demands, thought the safest and best way to satisfy creditors was to assign and thus insure full returns for those who had claims against him. .>.-..

The concert at the opera house last under the auspices of the Ladies' Aid of the Congregational church was^ most successful from an artistic standpoint and in a more moderate degree from a practical point of view.

Miss Bensusan, who is cast for a leading part in the forthcoming production of "Mikado," sang twice with splendid effect. She possesses an unusually good soprano voice and uses it with taste. A unique feature was introduced in the shape of a lady's trio by raes- dames Caldwell,. Brown and Otis. The number was warmly applauded. C. A. Caldwell sang in good voice and participated with Messrs. Prosser, Hardy aud Thompson in the selections rendered by the Nelson quartette. It. Thompson, also of the quartette, contributed a stirring baritone solo. Mr. Griz- zelle appeared twice most acceptably. D. Wambold rendered a clarinet solo which made an- excellent impression. The accompanist of the evening was Miss Wilson, who also played a solo with taste and expression. Will Support the Candidate. Rossland Miner.
