Special to The Tribune. Ottawa, April 21.—At a. meeting ol' the railway committee of the privy coini- eil held this morning, taking advantage ol' the terms under which the Crow's Nest .Pass road got its subsidy from parliament, the Nelson & Bedlington Hail- way Company applied for running powers over eight and a half miles of the Canadian Pacific railway line. The engineers had agreed that the cost of paralleling the Canadian Pacific railway tit (his point would be $'■) 1.000 a mile. .Judge Clarke, for the Canadian Pacific railway, contended that, in lixing the terms the Canadian Pacific railway did not consider that the applicants should be allowed to make use of this paying stretch of their line without bearing a proportion of the cost of the approaches ou either side, passing through a less profitable part of the country. Mr. Mulock—'Where would you consider your approaches began ? Mr. Clarke—I could not definitely say. Mr. Mulock—Surely they would , not extend either way.to the two oceans? Mr. Blair considered this a. very dangerous principle to proceed on. Mr. Clarke said it portion of the C.I.'.K. between Winnipeg and Port Arthur, which was served by a, long approach around Lake Superior,, was in somewhat the same situation, if calculating the value of the running rights to another road there. The minister of railways did not seem to favor this view at all, and expressed his ignorance how it was to be ascertained whether certain portions of a, line Avere particularly "remunerative or otherwise. The decision of the committee was announced as unanimously in favor of.the granting of the principle of the application.

Niow Dunvki*. April 21.—The owners of the Mollie Hughes have.been cleatiing up the dumps on tluit property this week, and are sticking the ore .'preparatory to making a carload shipment in a few days. The ore comes.principally from the Real Idea, and Pinto leads iind is expected to= give good gold values. Assays have given from $100 to $128 in gold. Another connection has been made from tlie No. 2 to the No. 1 tunnels on the Bosun, it (fording much better 'ventilation, its well as making easier the handling of the,ore from tlio upper workings. The Bosun will make its 100-ton shipment as usual this month. George Betty's dividend-payer, the Monitor, tit Three Forks, has shipped' in the neighborhood of 300 tons of ore this Avi liter, and is looking Avell at present. The galena from the Monitor carries gold values .in excess of $8 per ton. 0. M. Rosendale, representative of the McDowell sampling Avorks at Nelson, is buying ore through the camp. He AA'as looking after the Mollie Hughes ore today, and has also given the Marion people a rate for their mineral. The contract' on the Enterprise is about finished.

Washington, April 21.—An unexpected delay has occurred in the negotiations toward the Alaskan boundary modus vivendi. which makes the immediate future quite problematical. • Kx- tended conferences on the subject were held today, the result being far from encouraging. The principal difficulty arises from the necessity of dealing with Ottawa as Avell as London. This dual negotiation causes great delay iind complications. At the outset the United States proposed a modus viArendi with a temporary line along certain peaks. The British ambassador forwarded, this to London iind Ottawa-. The Canadian officials then proposed changes in the line, and after considerable delay the authorities in Loudon approved of the changes proposed by Canada. It is not stilted what the respective lines are, but they are sufficiently apart to make it quite, unlikely that any immediate agreement can be reached, even of a temporary nature, as to the boundary. - YMIR MINING AND LOCAL NEWS.

It was said that" any influence ■ that the Grand Trunk railway had would not be used, as it Avas last year, in favor of the charter. It Avas also'said that the Great Northern, the raihvay tliat is now the owner of the Corbin roads, had patched up a truce Avith the Canadian Pacific, the terms of the truce being that if the Canadian .Pacific would keep out of Eastern Washington that the .Great-Northern Avould keep out ot the Boundary Creek section of Southern British Columbia. There 'Avas probably some truth in all these ru- 'niors. The Great Northern has decided to buikf into the Republic district by AA'ay of the San Poil route, and not by way of .-Marcus or Northport. Whether this decision is caused by the result of an agreement Avith the Canadian Pacific or from knowledge that parliament Avould not grant the Kettle River charter is the question.

Mr. Diivitt described chief justice Chambers as nominally itn American, but in reality an hhig- lishuian, who is anxious to promote an Anglo-American alliance. Diivitt ex-' pressed his hatred of Hmgland and warned the (icrniiins-against making the American 'nation answerable for the blame-, worthy attitude of one or two persons. All the trouble he says is due to English intrigues. The United States he says will settle matters honorably and fairly when they know tlie origin of the riots. It has been said that because the Canadian Pacilic had an interest in the town- site of GreeiiAvood that the business men there were afraid to place themselves on record on the Kettle River Valley Railway question.

Be it further resolved, that copies of this resolution be sent to till members of the parliament of Canada. " The secretary of the association Avas instructed to hiiA'e 500 copies of the resolution printed for circulation.

George "YV. Hughes, manager of the Idaho mines, avIio was iu Nelson yesterday, is one of the best posted mine managers in the Slocan. He says that if there is no stoppage of work through the enforcement or non-enforcement of the eight-hour Ijiav, or no disarrangement of the present tariff regulations the mines of the Slocan will double last year's output this year. More, that at no time since he has been in the Slocan. has there been more enquiries made by eastern and old country parties for mines. This coming from so consei'A'ative an operator indicates that this part of Kootenay will' be fairly prosperous this year. Mr. Hughes also confirmed the report, pub-, lished in THR Tribune on Wednesday,' that the Mountain Chief had been bonded. 11 ll - -'Ml THE TRIBUTE: NELSON, B.C., SATURDAY, APRIL ->2, 1899.

CURRENT RATK OK INTEREST RAH) FAKE MINING COMPANIES. 'engineering and Mining Joirnal. The promoter ol' bubble i-onipanics wo have ahvays with us. This ingenious and veracious gentleman, it is true, never leaves us entirely, and a long familiarity with his ways ami works has convinced us that the light against him which the Engineering and Mining .Journal has so long maintained, can never be given up entirely. So long a.s human nature is credulous and the prospect of making money without labor tin attractive one, the fake company will.find victims, who will not take warning. In times like these, the promoter of doubtful schemes is especially in evidence, aiid while the spirit of speculation is strong, and money for investment .abundant, he is able to ���'secure attention from many whom ho could not reach in ordinary times. This class includes a number who tire reasonable and ordinarily cautious men, and who ������may be benefitted by _a timely warning. ���Just at present the rapid increase in the price of copper and in the prevailing boom, in-copper shares,' in the Boston a-nd in the foreign markets have made copper stocks ti favorite investment, find especially attractive to buyers of mining shares, and the copper vein is being worked accordingly. It is not possible to go at length into all the statements of the prospectuses and advertisements Avhieh crowd our-desks. . These all have a certain family resemblance: references to the prosperity and heavy dividends of the Calumet '����k assured, that if the stocks Of coijper coiii- pitilies are olTered Hi out-of-the-AVay places, and at all sorts of prices, they are so offered because they haVe no A-alue, and the owners are only anxious to unload them upon too confiding buyers. " We have hardly space here to give a list .of- all tlie companies of doubtful A*alue, which are now before the public; but it may be Avell to mention a few conspicuous instances, and to refer to a feAV prospectuses which need criticism, to say the least. Perhaps the most conspicuous offender in the list is the Spenazuma Gold Mining and Milling Company of Arizona, Avhich,Ave are informed, is disposing of stock through its agents among Connecticut farmers, iii the towns along the Hudson river and in other places, wliich are not likely to contain parties having information about mines.. This company's prospectus claims "a A'ein one- half mile in width, and two miles in length, every foot of which is in gold, copper and silver"; and elsewhere a vein which, "opened at a depth of seven feet, ores running $4000 in gold per ton, eighty-four pel' cent copper, and' 200 ounces in silver',���statements Avhieh are absolute nonsense, and manifestly intended to deceive. In this case, more- j-eady '-said, do not as a rule, attempt mUcll to appeal to that clasSi "They seek rather to get money from the fal-iner, the clerk with a little saved, and others, who' limy be disposed to speculate in; a small Avay Avith tlie hope. o�� a Ikrgb return.

' ' April 22] over, wo Iind these assertions supported liy the signatures of "well-known exports," of whoso names, in a somewhat extended experience, we have never heard, and witli whom wo axe unable to correspond, bec.-uise letters to their addresses are returned with the post-of'lice mark "not found.'" A letter from ji reliable correspondent which will be found in another column,- describes a recent visit to this property, and from his statements it is quite evident that there is no demonstrated value iu the property, and most probably none at all. The building of a worthless mill is evidently intended only to impress stockholders iind to make a. show before those whom the. company has invited as representative men to visit it. We may'mention, by the way, that the company .-has sent two' or three parties of A'isitors to impress intending buyers, but has apparently taken A'ery good care that there shall be no experts among them. Just at present, Arizona, seems td be a favorite ground for these Avi Id-cat companies, and especially for that class Avhieh are trading on the reputation of established mines. One conspicuous offender of this class is the Copper King of Arizona, AvJiich has advertised extensh'e- ly and has scattered prospectuses and circulars all over the country. This company is trading on its similarity in name and the neighborhood of its claims to the Copper Queen mine, although the oAvners of that and other properties had long ago prospected the district thoroughly, and would certainly have taken up any claims of ''value had they existed there. This company not only trades dn the similarity of names, but illustrates its circulars with A-iews of the extensive buildings of the Copper.Queen, thus attempting a deliberate fraud upon the readers. We Iind other instances of trading on name and proximity, Avithout going outside of Arizona, and although in these cases avo have not been able as yet to make the necessary investigation, to prove their worthlcssnessV they are at least destitute of all proven or developed values, and at the A'ery best offer to the buyers ; of their' stock gambles bj* the wildest kind. There* is also the presumption that the neighboring companies which are operating on a large scale would not leave A'aluable properties which they couUMima'o easily secured for themselves at*the slight expense of,locating and a little exploration and assessment Avork. In this class, Ave have the Arizona, Copper Syndicate, Avhieh has claims *at Clifton near the property of the well-known Arizona Copper Company: and a whole group���the United Verde, Jr., the United Verde Extension and the Val Verde���avIioso only distinction is that they are near W. A. Clarice's well-known United Verde mines. Space forbids us to continue the list longer at present, although avc hope to return to the subject Avith still more detail hereafter. Actual investors, with mouVey to put" into property, aiid some Jvhowledge kikl experience of mining iii:-. A'estnients Avill not I^qiiire inuch fui'ther caution against the wildcats. These J:^^.k-e^cdlhpa!^ies,=hoA\\*e;vel���,=a,'5-\\ve=have==al^= are disposed to gamble and are Aviiling to run the risk, instead of putting their money into fake stocks, Avhere they are sure to lose in the end, they had much better use it in betting on horse races, playing poker, or bucking against a faro bank, where they will tit least get some excitement and "fun" for their money, with a better chance for getting it back ; though Ave wish it to be understood that we are A'ery far from recommending these demoralizing investments. A WONDERFUL NECKLACE. What is considered by jewelers to be perhaps the most remarkable diamond necklace iu the world, and a triumph of the diamond setters art, says a New York paper, has just been completed iu this city by Charles F. Wood ifc Co., wholesale diamond dealers of 1 Maiden lane. It is asserted that there is not only not such "-mother in the world, but that if an attempt were made to duplicate its perfection it would require fifteen or twenty years' time iu which to do so. It is not the abnormal size, weight or number of the stones that constitute this necklace's peculiar A-alue and beauty, for there are many necklaces which excel it in each of these particulars, but it is the fact that eA'ery stone is a, gem of the choicest quality and absolutely matches every other one. The necklace, as it rests in its case encircles closely a center piece, six inches in diameter, and the diameter of the necklace itself, at the center line of the stones, is Of inches. It contains forty- seven stones, Avliich vary in size from front to back in perfect graduation, from diameters of 7-10 inch, Avith Aveights of 7 carats, to diameters of 5-16 inch and weights of 2]- carats.' The necklace is worth at retail between $125,000 and $150,000. About tAveh-e years ago the largest handler in the Avorld of diamonds in the rough Avas instructed to begin the collection of stones for this necklace. This dealer is iu London, and nowhere else could any one be found through whose hands enough diamouds "would pass in a generation from which to make such a collection. The instructions to the dealer Avere that every stone must be of the grade known in the trade as a gem, that the color must be, blue-white and each one capable of being cut into the perfect LUMBER form to develop brilliancy and fire. The collection of the stones was begun at once and it Avas not until six months ago that the last stone of the lot was picked out in the rough. Then the Avhole lot Avere sent here, where they Avere cut and mounted. Although there Avas no requirement that this should be so, every stone,as it happens, came from the same African mine, and this, no doubt, helps to give them the evenness of effect which is one of tlie most remarkable traits of the necklace. This is assured also by the cutting of the stones, for iu each the same angles are found, with the same number of facets, the same comparative sizes of girdle ancl table and heights from girdle to table and point. One of the chief expenses in producing the circlet lay in the cutting of the gems to the exact sizes required. The largest stones were, of course, all cut to the largest size that they would afford, but as the required size graded down it was not uncommon for a stone that if used separately "'might haA'e cut 5i or 0 carats, to be cut clown to 5 carats. It is estimated that Avhile the dealer Avas gathering the stones in the rough he handled from $10,000,000 to $12,000,000 Avorth of diamonds from the same mine and that he handled altogether about* $33,000,000 of diamonds, allot' Avhieh Avere scanned for stones for this one necklace.
