KOOTENAY Has a Mineral OutpUt' of Upwards oi One Million Dollars Every Month In The Year WEB KLY EDITION: SEVENTH FEAR-NO 10 A WORKING JINER'S SPEECH Two Governments Compared. James Wilkes of Rowland, who occupies the important position of vice-president for British Columbia of the federated labor organi/.ttions of the Dominion, has pronounced views upon the question of provincial politics which are worthy of the consideration of those whose interests lie with the industrial classes. As the representative of organized labor he deems it is duty to do what he can to secure the return of Hon. J. Fred Hume, because he has found in his dealings with the Semlin 'government,, of which Mr. Hume is a member, that it is a government genuinely in sympathy with the working classes in their efforts to secure reforms and improved conditions i'or themselves. . At Thursday erening's meeting iu the Hume hotel Mr. Wilkes made a speech in support of the candidature of Mr. Hume, in which he recited several of the reasons why those in sympathy with the cause of organized labor should support the government candidate. While not a finished speaker, the labor leader showed that he had a good grasp of the politics of the province. In his opening remarks he said that he was quite aware of the fact that, there was always more or less aversion to those who invariably cropped up as public speakers when au election contest was on, but so far as himself was concerned he would at the outset do what he could to remove it. Though possibly a stranger to many of those who composed his audience, he was not a stranger to the province of British Columbia, and he questioned if auyone present had been a resident of the province for a longer period than he had. Taking up the issues of the campaign he depreci: ated the efforts which were being made by the opponents of the government to obscure the real issues of the campaign. Even admitting, he said, that attorney- general Martin was a czar, the men who made up the industrial army in the district should remember that there were greater issues involved in. the campaign than.even the attorney-general himself. They should remember that to a certainex- tent tho Semliu- administration was on trial, and the only excuse he had fpr appearing in the contest was that he might be \"able to1 show .r the working meii of -the , province that the Semlin government was,one which was in touch with the principles of-reform, so far as the industrial element of the province understood them. Since assuming office,, the policy of the Semlin government, in its dealings with.the representatives of organized labor, was in striking contrast with the abortive efforts-of the Turner administration to secure the sympathy and aid of the industrial element. * The manner in which the Turner government had trifled with the interests of the labor party was well evidenced bythe way in which it had dealt with the matter ofexcluding Chinese from working intbe coal mines of. the province.' If there was any real sympathy between the Turner government and the forces of organized labor, how was it that legislation passed' for .he benefit of labor was allowed to remain a dead letter for nine years, and that certain people were allowed to openly violate the law and exert more in- ihienee with the^ government than.the combined\" forces of organized labor Jthrojighout the province; For riirie^yearB, \"undent fre^Tiu'ner goyernment, aha its. predecessor, this condition pf affairs existed, but the insiant the Bemlin administration assumed the reins of power .he influence of the OliinesC-eniploying, over the government of the province, was lost. When the Semlin government went into office Puttjjime the Chinamen who were employed in the coal mines Contrary tp law. It was then discovered that the colliery \"owner* ��� who was fighting organized labor, had another card up his sleeve, and as soon as the Chinamen were forced out he put the Japanese in. The next move of the Semlin administration was in the direction of turning the Japanese out as well. This legislation had not been perfected as yet, but the government had outlined it in the speech from the throne, and there was no reason why the good faith Of the government in the matter should be impugned, or why the government should not receive due credit for its gPod intentions. The men who were obliged, to work for their living would do well to remember that in the present administration they had a government which had showed sufficient regard for their interests to intimate that thej^would place upon the statute books legislation which would provide for the removal of the Japanese as well as the Chinese from employment underground in the mines. The speaker reminded his hearers that he had been practically raised in the coal mines; that he had been obliged to work in the mines along with Chinese, and that he was conversant with the disadvantage and danger which resulted to the white miner from the condition which obliged them to work side by side with Chinese. Another circumstance which illustrated the indifference of the Turner government to the welfare of working miners was the manner in which it had delayed to make operative the act passed by the legislature in 1897 which provided for the inspection of the metalliferous mines. When the act became law the trades and labor council in Rossland sent a request to the government that it appoint an inspector in accordance with the. terms of the act, but it was not until the govern ment was in the throes of dissolution that a permanent appointment was made, and the position given to a government supporter in the house who for the lack of a seat could bo of no further use to the government. Thus tho lives of the men working in the mines of Kootenay weie made a secondary consideration to the political exigencies of the government. The unwillingness of the Turner government to remove the tax upon men working iu the metalliferous mines for wages was another evidence of the indifference of that government to the rights of working miners. In contrast to this the Semlin government immediately upon its accession to power gave notice of its intent ion of removing this tax. Premier Turner when pressed upon this question informed the people that he had never been asked to repeal this tax. This was not in accordance with the facts as. the speaker said that he himself had drafted a resolution which had been forwarded from Rossland, asking that the tax be removed. Mr. Wilkes said he was not prepared to say that in this matter Mr. Turner was guilty of a gross falsehood, but he was prepared to say that the resolution requesting the removal of the tax was forwarded to him. Since the Semlin government had announced its policy of repealing the tax Mr. Turner had accused the members of the new government of stealing the old government's policy. Mr. Turner was in power for four years. He had a majority two to one greater than that of the present government, yet he made no move in the matter of the repeal of the tax. He now professed himself as in favor of the repeal of the tax, but he seemed to overlook the fact that if it was a good thing to repeal it now, it would have been equally meritorious to have secured its repeal four years before. The same might be said with respect to the mortgage tax. In both these matters the Semlin government had shown its active sympathy with the industrial class. The indifference of the Turner government was again shown when the National congress of labor sought to have the government appoint anMuspector of the boilers of stationary engines. Mr. Turner was asked in March last by Mr. Macpherson of Vancouver to introduce an act to provide for the appointment. The records of the house fail to show that he did anything to meet the request. The new government was asked to provide for such.ah appointment, and it intimated its intention of doing so in the speech\" from the throne. These circumstances in themselves showed that the Semlin government wasentitled to the hearty support of the workingmeri of the province; There was one other reform which the trade and labor congress had instructed its representatives in this province to secure if possible, and that was a reduction in the hours of labor, for the men employed underground iiVthe mines, and in this a\" in other requests which the speak-\" er had male on behalf of labor, the Semlin government had returned a favorable response. . In the mines in this province men are workiug- 10 hours as day, day in and day out, a condition,of- affairs which does not exist in any other country. As the representative of organized labor he could assure them that the present unsatisfactory condition would be changed and changed by the Semlin government. Mr. Wilkes said, that he had the most positive assurances from the Semlin administration that a measure will be introduced into the legislature which will make it illegal to compel men to be longer under ground than 8 hours. For this reason the speaker said that he considered that he wasJbut doing his duty as the representative1 of\"the national con- ^gre.s/ofJabo^ih-making^the-mos.t^of^his \"position to induce the friends of organized labor'to support the government candidate. In no other way could the \\ya#e- e&fcuers show their appreciation of the favors which organized labor had received. Respectinjar the effort of Frank Fletcher, to lead the electors, to believe that if J. Fred Hume were returned the alien exclusion legislation wotilcl be applied to quartz milling, the speaker said that the records were all contrary to such a contention. The records: would show that the measure tp exclude aliens from qu%rjz mines was introduced by a supporter of the Turner government while Mr; Hume was out of the house, and it received the fgeneral support of the men whose eol- eagueMr. Farwell would be if returned to Victoria. It was Mr. Hume who pointed out the mistake of such legislation^ and induced the house to revoke its action. On the question of Chinese competition the records of the house would show that the head of the present Opposition had never given a vote in favor of the exclusion of the Chinese, while Mr. Hume had never at any time voted against the interest of the white laborers of the province, and the supporters of the opposition could not point to a single instance in which the present government, or any of its supporters, had taken a position in opposition to the interests of the industrial classes of the province. Such was the government he asked the friends of organized labor to support. It was a government which had shown itself favorable to organized labor, and the friends of labor should do all they could to support it. Hume Gains oh the Transfers. When the present election campaign was started the supporters of standing candidate Farwell made their boast that they would secure enough transfers to carry the election in favor of their candidate. The list was closed at 4 o'clock today, when the fact was disclosed that the members of the Hume committee had secured more than four times the number of transferred voters that were secured for the Farwell committee. Something over 100 names were added to the list by transfers. MINING ABOUND YMIR. Ymir, Feb. 10.--The Blackcock mine which has been making regular shipments to the Nortbport smelter for the past six weeks, has suspended further shipments. It is said that the owners of the property had some disagreement, wi'h 'he North- port smelter. In all about. 15 ear* of ore were shipped during the six weeks. The smelter returns were not made public, but the ore is generally understood to carry a value of about $(50 to the ton. The Wilcox property, of which Phil White is the owner, is working a small force of men and is showing up well. A stamp mill will be erected upon the property in the spring. There are two tunnels in upon the ledge; one is in 150 feet aud the second 350 feet. The long tunnel gives a depth of 130 feet. The ledge is from two to three feet wide. There are about 200 tons of ore upon the dump which it is estimated will average $35 in gold to the ton.-'. The mill at the Ymir mine will probably start up today, as the trouble with the pipe which supplies the power has been remedied. The Dundee mill has been running for a few days for the purpose of a test of the machinery. The manager, of the company is expected today to commence the first actual run. A good strike is reported from, the Morning and Evening Star properties near the Dundee. , Those working the property prefess to have struck a two foot chute of ore which gives an average value of $50 to the ton. The mill at the Porto Rico is running night and day and is giving good satisfaction. There is much speculation as to the returns and estimates on the month's returns vary from $20,000 to $50,000. A small force of men are working at the Victor property. Some very rich ore has been encountered which gives assays considerably over $100, but the extent of the ore body has not been determined.

He arose ==_;nd'pi_k-d~upThi_r8ilk\"haTt; ~~ \" \"All right,\" he said. \"We mittfe get across that ranch some way.\" A cloud of .ii.ii.tij was .coming, down the road. Theophilus SmUhcarefuiry watched it fqiramoiuenEt, and then turned Bucyru. among the bowlders by the roadside. Bucyrus was his nitile- Just ahead qf the dust-clc-iid appeared a frantic horse, tear? ing wildly, down the 'road toward him. Now and then.he cpuld catch glimpses of a swaying buckboard and a young lady clinging to the seat: Theophilus, who was a careful young -man, put his briarr woqfl pipe in the inside pocket of his jacket, drew his .bmbreip down tightly upon his head, and then disinterestedly Watched the approaching rnnrtway. As the dust-cloud.and its contents passed, Bucyrus wheeled, and they, too, Went . flyingdowij the road. Through sand and over bowlders they went, horse, buck- board, mule, and dust. \"Excuse me, miss,\" said Theophilus, as he came alongside and reached for the bit of the running horse ; \"pleasant day, is it not?\" He gripped the bridle hard, pulled sideways and backwards, and Bucyrus cheerfully sat down to the occasion and slid. There was more dust, and then they stopped. Theophilus rubbed some of the dirt from his eyes andfraised his sombrero to the girl in the buckboard.1 She looked at him with wide-open blue eyes. \"I am very sorry,\" he said, politely, \"to stop you so rudely merely to ask you a question ; but will you kindly pardon me and inform me where colonel Suortally lives?\" The young lady's lip quivered, and, instead of replying, she burst into tears. Then, recovering from her embarrassment and fright, she drew a deep breath and smiled faintly, and, as the color came back to her cheek?, she answered: \"I am the colonel's daughter, and I will gladly show you the way home.\" Theophilus spoke a few. words to the still restless horse, handed the reins up to the young lady, aud led Bucyrus to: the rear of the buckboard, to which he tied him. '.v \"I suppose,\" said-the colonel's daughter,:! as they started up the road, \"that -1' Are now prepared to issue Drafts and Letters of Credit on Dawson City, Yukon District. should thank you for saving my life and my father's best buckboard. Really, I thank you very much. If you will stop at the house for dinner, I will try and show my gratitude with some tortillas and frijoles ot my own cooking.\" \"The debt of gratitude is on my side, and not yours.\" Theophilus answered. \"I am in search of work as a cowboy, and I can not but hope that your acquaintance is an auspicious omen.\" \"Cowboys don't talk like that,\" she said, a little sharply, eying him in surprise. \"You're not fitted for a range man - anyway. Cattlemen don't ride mule?. Papa says there is only one animal more ridiculous, stupid, and idiotic than a mule, and that is the man who rides oue. \"But your father doesn't know Bucyrus.\" \"Nor his owner,\" she rejoined, laughing. They stoped in front of a long, low, adobe ranch-house, with deep-set windows and doors. Ivy circled the windows'and climbed to the eaves. A few firs, some tall blue gums, and a dozen palms stood in the front yard. The house was set far back, and the veranda that surrounded it was half-hidden in the green of orange-trees. A stream from the mountains ran through the orchard in the rear, its course marked by a line of cotton woods and willows, that broke the monotony of the otherwise treeless mesa. On the other side of the creek, and at some distance from the house, were the corrals aud stables of the ranch. The young lady stepped lightly to the ground. \"I will call papa,\" she said. A few minutes later a tall man, heavy set, with a face like the full moon in harvest time, his scanty locks somewhat grizzled with the first snowfall of the winter of life, came swinging down the walk with great strides. \"How air ye !\" he shouted before reaching the gate. \"Glory tells me ye ketched that son of Satan thar jest in time. I'm mighty glad -to meet ye.\" He seized Theophilus's hand and Theophilus tried to look pleased. \"Jack I\" shouted Colonel SnortaHy. , A dusltyi'-cowboy^withwa Vsqmbr^orphs^hte/ back *qf thisi Jhead asauntj-re^dsi a?ouiij_C- tlie - cprher,lbf$h^ beyond: thar!h!-;sh6p IMPERIAL BANK OF CANADA Capital, Reserve Paid Up $2,000,000 1,200,000 HEAD OFFICE, TORONTO D.

He evidently understood all the marks and deeps of the bovine eharaeterj and very .shortly won tha't for hitiiself which he could not for his mule���the Colonel's respect. When Bucyrus would head off a skilful stampeder, colonel Snortally would grumble -oinethitig about \"fools Eushiii' in,\" and whea he would dodge a belligerent steer he wojild growl something about a, \"fool for luck.\" On the subject of mules the colonel Jand Theophilus continued to disagree. The argued the question morning, noon, and night* The colonel pointed put the bad qualities of the mule; Theophilu. grew eloquent over the animal's virtues. (Jlory smiled* but took no part in the discussion, which resulted in the famous race at Crag's Corner���a race that is still memorable throughout all of the Poncho Basin country. The co'onel brought out a long-legged mustang that he had purchased across the border the year before. This mustang was a sad deceiver, and had lightened the pocket of many a cowboy who had bucked a home animal against the imported stock. A light-weight Mexican rode him. A few minutes later Bucyrus ambled forth, wearing that surprised look of a mule when he is but half-awakened from a sweet dream of peace with plenty of barley hay in it. Judge Arkan- saw West officiated as starter and judge. All the inhabitants of the Basin were on hand to see the race, and even old man Johnson stopped his sheep-shearing aud came from over the range with all the hands to enjoy the holiday. At the start the mustang ran away from Bucyrus, and at the quarter there was room enough for a threshing-machine between them. The crowd laughed and cheered, and the colonel issued a general invitation to free drinks for all present after the race, for the colonel was very fond of his own opinion. For some reason Glory did not smile. But when the animals reached the half, there was a change. Bucyrus seemed to remember that he was neither asleep nor working for the government. He began to run. At the last quarter there was silence, for the crowd was holding its breath. While the mustang and Bacyrus were coming down the home-stretch the colonel's countenance was interesting, and when Bucyrus passed under the wire something more than an ear ahead, the colonel arose and made his way through the silence to Crag's Palace of Delight and faintly asked for a stimulant. That night Theophilus showed a woeful lack of good taste. He ostentatiously reviewed the merits of the mule family, and of Bucyrus in particular. The colonel, sat in fiery silence and chewed the cud of bitter reflection, but finally, when Theophilus wound up by declaring that Bucyrus could outrun the Overland Limited from Crag's Corner to the mountain-road crossing, a distance of a little over a mile, Colonel Snortally arose in his wrath and swore. \"I'll bet ye anything ye want that yer wall-eyed apology fer a hoss can't do anything of the kind,\" he said. \"Will you bet my pick of any hundred unimproved acres on jrour ranch against Bucyrus that he can't ?\" quietly asked Theophilus. \"Sartinly,\" said the colonel, who, deep; down in his heart, had a liking for Bucyrus. \"All right,\" said Theophilus; \"if you say so, we will settle it tomorrow���going west.\" The colonel said so and went to bed. By the light of the stars that night a man rode hurriedly down to Crag's Corner, the nearest railroad station, and before dawn rode as hurriedly back to the ranch again. The next day was another day of excitement in the Basin. The rumor of the novel race spread swiftly.; That is why Ike^ Williams heard, way up in Rocky Gulch, tha,t Colonel Snortally .hadibet,his, ���forty thousang��;acre^anch\\againsot��a*herd.; dijm\"ules\\that ia_ .certain, ^swif iT��� animall of? ��ha_,v:km.dvcould\"%^^ \".Limited-inX ten-milefrac^^5vf\" vtfV(&%>: IJTh\"e>va;go-riVrb^ railroad *;track^ so:Bncyi;us.���wa&7nQtfhandi-A l\"ca��pftedt^sT,h^ ^th*e.��!!a|t^^ trcmehdous��spni^Tshbt?ahe itvyeen.'hi^seltfand^theeng^m a\"re\\wiseacfes iri\"the��Basin|\\vhb^h\"ake��their sli^ads ��� when.. jtel,hngv*of f .fcha.fr. wonderJUd race,j'and hi!it-���thkt*the;;erigineer;^w4s: na^ ,\"��� \"sG���oldnel\".^Sn;6rial ly-wasia^gopd nlbser^and��� ' hp\"Coh*.e��fltll ly* in.yi ted? l^heophil Us��. put;\" the^ : nex^d^y;tpp:chposa ^wa*s1iotsth��e\"���lesC*.heerfiil\" -becaiise\" THeol^ philjLi^tbc'nighfc before Jbad .magjejhitn a ^present \"of>Bucyrus: Theophiltta prpyed anjatnazing;choosey...��� He, .tpok^ a narrow stripn\"6f^^land-riinlnirlgfr���pm ^h|s>cornpf ��u\"p= ���tq.^WarJder's CahSn^Iat libhefopt\" pf thpf , mpjunt^in|;i\\Tp\"���t^ \"IVfs cnbicje, ;he= said, spmefrhiug about i���t,! m.akijggiB^;fe6b;d;'r1a_erti',acItj... About a Weeli lai er Theophilus was em' joying one evening a quiet after-dinner\" smpkeon the veranda.. He was at peace . with the wo\"rld, when colonel Snortally came up the, 'walk. The colonel's face was like the sun shining red through a th ufadeii-clo'q'd.^He was too much.agitated to speak for a minute, but when he did begin fro talk his words were to the point. From his expression one .might gather that\"'he ..was'perturbed, by the fact that Theophilus had sold a certain 1.Q0 acres of land as a right of Way to the Great South-Wester 11 Railway 'Company. Colonel Snortally finished; by declaring his intention of removing from the scene a stranger who had takeu him in, and there with drew his revolver. There was a rustle of a dress, a low cry, and Glory was sobbing, with her face on TheophilUs's shoulder. \"Don't do it, .olonel, unless you feel compelled to,\" said Theophilus-, rising with one arm about Glory', \"and unless ypii want to make Glory a widow. We were married two days ago.\" Colonel Snortally's face grew white and the revolver slipped from his gni.sp. Glory was the dearest of all to him. The president of the Great South-Western Railway Company looked across the street and down seven stories to a certain plebeian sign. Then he arose and picked up his cane aud silk hat. \"Well,\" he said, \"we won after all. That; was cleverly done���cleverly done.\" \"Yes,\" said the second vice-president; \"but the attacking force lost heavily. For the young man from my office who engineered the deal has married the colonel's daughter, made peace with the colonel, and at the last report was laying out a town at the terminus of our projected branch, and selling corner lots.\" to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to m to Bar ��� �� ��� We are now carrying a most complete line of Bar Supplies, including all the latest styles of Whisky, Wine and Beer glasses.
