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.

ESTABLISHED 1802 FRIDAY MORNING, AUGUST lfi, 1901 DAILY EDITION IMPORTANT MINING DEAL MONTREAL SYNDICATE SECURES VALUABLE PROPERTY. Fifteen Claims Are Represented in the Sale and the Purchase Money- Has Been Paid. The deal for the purchase of the group of claims on the iron ridge which constitutes tlie divide between cArrow creek and Goat river was closed yesterday, when the final payment was made and the title to the property vested in the Montreal syndicate, whicli has been represented in the negotiations by William Blakemore. There are-all told some 15 claims represented in the deal, 'which are known as the Idaho, Dakota, La- Grande, Cracker Jack, Cynic, Cymbric, Rhodesia, Snowcap, Keepsake, Pacific, Old Glory, Atlantic, Maple Leaf, Union Jack and American Flag. In many respects this deal may be regarded as the most important that has been perfected in Kootenay for several years, as there is said to be'a very good prospect that as a result of it there will.be built up' in the district a very important iron and steel industry giving employment to a large number of men. - There are a large number interested in tho deal as vendors, and for the past few days they have been on the anxious seat "while the -solicitor, for the purchasers has^ been examining into the title to the properties affected. The number of people interested made the work of holding them together more or less difficult, and it is safe to say that C. P. Hill, who has figured in the scheme throughout as the promoter, was the happiest man in Nelson yesterday when the negotiations were finally concluded and the purchase money paid over. : William Blakemore, who has represented ": the Montreal; syndicatevin the negotiations, in discussing the deal with a Tribune- representative, said it might fairly be stated^ that one of the most important mining deals that had Jieen made in the district was consummated by the paying through the Bank of Montreal ofva sum of moneyapproximating $100,000 in cash for the mining property situated near Kitchener. The ideal was: the result of negotiations ���-winch-were bpened.up in.Mpntreahthree months ago. -when he, as mining engineer for a Montreal syndicate, took an option upon, the property in question ���from C; P. Hill. Since then extensive ���wojJc has T.ech done and the sum cf $1..i.00) oj e'rdeci.in prospecting and developing the property. In addition to this careful examinations of the property have, been made by competent experts, and more than 50 samples of the (3-j'it* have been submitted for assay, with the result that he and his associate** .'decided to complete the purchase of ihe property without waiting for the option to 'run its full course. In addition lo Mr. Hill there are a number of local ���men interested in the deal, including ;j. Roderick Robertson, S. M." jSrydge.-* ���and F. W. Peters. ���The importance of the -leal, li-.' si?id. was not to be measured by the vr'uiey eonsideration involved, although it was a large amont, but rather by the effect which the consummation of tho deal in JUkely to have upon the futureJJevQhyp_._ "���merit-of~th~e~province. The reports of tho experts, the assays made 'on the ore and the work clone upon the property, whicli consists of. 15 claims, have disclosed the .existence of a conlinuoir ftody of high grade hematite iron ore. The actual width and depth of the ledge Jiave not been determined, but, sufficient work has been cone to show that the "body'of the quartzite in which the ore occtr.'S is from 100 to 200 feet ii: width, and the geological.formation favors the conclusion that there c***i be no doubt of its existence at considerable depth. The purity of the oro is one of its marked features, the best assay shoAving G6 per cent of metallic iron, 2 per cent silica. .03 per cent sulphur, and a trace of phosphorous; and- the .average of 20 assays taken from different parts of the property gave metallic iron 55 per cent, silica 10 per cent, sulphur .05 per cent and phosphorous .01 per cent. Prom these figures it will he seen that the iron is at least equal to Lake Superior hematite in metallic iron, and lower both in phosphorous and sulphur. Whether t.he property will develop into a proposition large enough to justify the establishment of an iron -���melter for the production of pig iron ja-ttd steel rails for local consumption remains to be determined. The quality ���f the ore is admirable for this pur- ���pose, and when it is remembered that ���the best coal and coke on the continent s produced within 100 miles or so, and hat there is abundance of limestone for 'fluxing upon adjoining property, it will be seen that there is nothing to present the establishment of steel works if tlie property should prove to be cf Isufficient extent' to jasi,..y thin step. In the opinion of good judges such, expectations are not thou-rht to be too sanguine, and the effect upon the province in the event of such being done [would be relatively as great as that broduced by the opening up of the coal tnines at Fernie and the introduction ftof cheap coal and coke. Pig iron is i'wortlt $20 per ton today in British Co- /lum'bia. Standard section steel rails I;ire worth $40 and light mine section |i*teel rails :?60 per ton. Pig iron can be ranufactured at Kitchener for 510 per ;on, which would give heavy steel rails it $20 and lighter sections at ��!25, and .astings and machinery used In the' province would be similarly affected and :i great saving thereby made in the outlay for mining plant. There is also the further possibility of an export trade, its there are no steel works upon the Pacific coast, and no other deposit of iron ore discovered which, without admixture, would produce simim* metal to that of the Kitchener deposit. If, however, it should be found that the property is not extensive enough to justify this programme there is still an important aspect in "which the whole smelting industry of British Columbia will be benefited in the provision whicli the property will make of the highest quality of iron ore for fluxing purposes. Hitherto the, ore available for this purpose has been of an inferior quality, and has had to be brought at considerable expense from great distances. To illustrate this it might be said that the, Half Mines smelter is now procuring its supplies from Kamloops. It is also a' fact worthy of note that Kitchener is near enough to the smelters at Great Falls and Butte to bring, them within the range of the Kitchener property's operations for this purpose. As to his present intentions Mr. Black- more said the program of the Montreal men would be to devote the next year or two to development work before deciding upon the larger scheme to follow. Meanwhile preparations will be made to ship ore early next season to the, various smelters for fluxing purposes. During the life of ithe bond, Mr. Blakemore added, a crew of from 25 to 30 men had been employed, and this staff will now be increased. In the exploratory work diamond drills had largely been used and he would continue to use them. He was also considering the purchase of a small hoisting plant to enable the men to gain depth upon the ore. . It was thought that work would be continued this season until the first of Noveniber, when it was likely that the weather would render further work difficult" .Next; season, however, he hoped to be in shape to continue the work throughout the winter, as there would then be sufficient underground work in hand. . r,AS7ERT>T CANADIAN Y;IZ1IJNTGS MONTUISAIj, August If).���Assets of tho ili'l'tinct Ville Mario brink amounting to nearly half a million dollars wore sold today fur S10,000.

GRESGEUS MAKES A RECORD TROTS A MILE AGAINST THE ABBOT IN 2:03 1-4. the credit of The Abbot it should be said that not only was this his first race of the season, but that he has abo been sick, and his best mile since his recovery was in the vicinity of 2:09. The betting before the race was 100 to .IO on Cresceus and it was lively, there being many followers of The Abbot Famous Stallion Beats His Opponent Half a Length���Largest Crowd Ever Present at a Race. NEW YORK, August 15.���What is looked upon as the greatest harness race in the hlstory-of the trotting horse is on the card for the Brighton Beach track today. Cresceus, 2:02 3-4, and The Abbot, 2:03 1-4, will meet for the flrst time in a special race for $ 12,000, trotting mile heats, the best three in five. Cresceus recently took away from The Abflot the world's, record against time, and while the latter has gone the quarter in a 1:56 gait, which, horsemen say Cresceus cannot equal, Cresceus can carry his speed further. Never has a race been looked upon by the trotting fraternity with--so much sensational interest; and, track favoring, whichever wins this contest of the kings ��� will be a red-letter event in the history of light harness horses.,- The.prospects are not bright at 10 a. m. for the big race today at Brighton Beach, as the weather is cloudy and threatening, but prophets say it Avill not rain, and if it does not there is no reason 'why-the-greatest trotting event of the year should not be sensationally fast. The track is in fair condition, but is fully one second slow. On the other hand, the champion Cresceus is in the pink of condition and owner Ketchum is confident that he will not only beat The Abbot but also the record of 2:05, which he made at Detroit. The Abbot is fit and ready for the fray, but has not made a public appearance this year. His owner and trainer thinks he can. under favorable conditions, go it in 2:02. NEW YORK, August 15.���[Night Report.]���The trotting interests of the Empire City have not received such "a boom in a quarter of a century as was developed today at the Brighton Beach track when, under the auspices of the New York' Trotting Association, the champion stallion and champion '���siding, Cresceus and The Abbot, came together for a purse-of ��12,000. "Sie Abbot, with his record of 2:03 1-4 of last season, and Cresceus, with the mark of 2:02 3-4 made at Columbus, were to decide the question of which was the one to go down.in history as the fastest trotting horse now living. There was a larger crowd present tnan ever seen before on a New York track under the old conditions and this has been only exceeded a feAV times since the existence of the old track by-the seashore. ' The grandstand was simply packed and this despite the fact that reserved seats with admission cost $4,"while boxes holding four persons were all disposed of at $30 each in addition, to the regular admission. It was estimated that Stilly 15,000 people were present. The wea-;har was simply perfect for the great race and the track Avas like velvet, though probably a second slow. It was about 3:30 o'clock when the drivers, Ketchum and Geers, appeared before-the grandstand and obtained their positions for a _ star_t_t> y__th e^fi i p^of _a^eoi n.==L.ucI*u*tvas j with the driver of Cresceus, as he secured the pole, a decided advantage with two horses nearly equal in point of record. When a little later the horses came from the paddock they were AVildly cheered and they looked fit for the work before them. Fortunately, too, the Avind had died down to a dead calm, so there was no obstacle in that line. Each was driven up and clown the stretch for a warming up and Avhen they reached the starter, Cresceus was slightly in the lead and they were called back. The next time down, however, they were nose and nose and'slipping along like birds over the fields. Then like a shot Cresceus rushed to the front and had a lead of a length, which he held to the Quarter, in 30 3-4. This iead The Abbot had slightly .ve'ltiead '.t the half, in 1:01 1-4, and he was' a very close second at the throe quarters pole, in 1:32 1-4. The vast crowd realized that a world's record was about to be made and the grandstand rose to its feet, while the multitude which was in the space between tho stand and the track cheered wildly. Coming down the stretch it was a battle royal, with The Abbot very close up, but Crosceus with his bulldog grip kept on, nostrils extended, and Just managed,to beat his opponent by a halt length in 2:03 1.-1, the Avorld's trotting record in a race To say the announcement caused tumultuous applause: ..on the stand faintly conveys the meaning of the expression. At the second, trial they were sent away beautifully, but The Abbot had not traveled a hundred yards before he made a disastrous break and before he could recover himself his opponent was in front. The Abbot once settled made a grand effort to overtake his opponent, but the son of Robert McGregor was out for victory and kept ahead, reaching the quarter in 31 1-4 seconds, the half in 1:02 1-2, the three- ouarters in 1:35, and came rushing home, winning in 2:0G 1-4, with The Abbot back of the flag. As the race was the best three in five, Ketchum consented that Cresceus go another heat. This he did shortly before 5 o'clock, accompanied by a runner for the first half, where he was joined by another runner, and he did tne mile in 2:05, the quarter in 30 1-2, the half in 1:01 1-2, and the three-quarters In 1:31 1-4.

Mr. McKechnie, who is actompd.ui-'i by his wife, also visited the Coast. The function of the converter plane now being installed at the Granby smelter will be to convert matte into metallic copper. The product, though less bulky than matte, will still have to be sent to an Eastern refinery in order to separate (he gold and silver value.-.. Thus the improvements now being added will at least have tho efl'ect of accomplishing a great saving in freight rates'.

The neAV policy of the government promised to be neither creditable nor effective and was in contraA ention of the fundamental principles of the St. Petersburg convention.'" The country would welcome a statement on the status of the^Avpr on which they were spending ��5,000,000 a month, although it was declared ended at the close of the last session. Mr. Chambeilain said the Avar status' Avas clearly indicated by lord Kitchener's weekly reports He himself had gone out of: the prophecymg business, but he assured the speaker that the government's attitude was the only method of ending the war. The colonial secretary declared that the use of native troops .was no new policy. It had been_ pursued without adverse criticism. The' India=troops in China had been co-operating with the troops of five of the highest civilized powers. Regarding banishment of burghers, Mr. Chamberlain said.Great Britrin had a right to enact what laws she chose for the government of a country acquired by conquest. The .Boers must be taught that they cannot longer cany on a guerilla warfare at no personal risk, while Great Britain fed" their women and children. He compared the condition in South Africa and tho Philippines and said the policy of America, as declared by geneiarMacAi thur's proclamation, would certainly be the policy of Great Britain if the campaign degenerates into a wai of bandits. Regarding the devastation policy, Mr. Chamberlain said it was nothing compared with general Sherman's campaign. He had 'talked with general Sherman himself and Sheiman justified his action on the ground of humanity. Mr. Chamberlain also said theie was no foundation for the repot t that lord Kitchener was coming home. Mr. Ascuith denied that the*e was any question of international law involved in lord Kitchener's proclamation. "Tlie people of those territories aie both, de jure and de facto the king's subjects," he continued, "and tho proclamation is a warning on the lines of the option given to tlie inhabitants of Alsace Loraine at the end of the Fianco-Ger- man war." Mr. Balfour, replying, declared that not a horse or a man would be with- (IrawLfrom Soiith^A/riC3_unless���the��� military situat'on justified it, but that the government had everv reason to hope on the reassembling of parliament next year the warlike operations in South Africa would be practically over. Little Damage Done. SANDON, August 15.���[Special to The Tribune.]���The damage to the Payne tram was not as serious as apprehended, the fire doing very little injury. Tho men now have the fire well in hand and unless a heavy wind comes up no further danger is feared. Robert Cunning, the pioneer hotel man of the Slocan country, returned today from a trip to Ireland.

Mobile Under Water ATLANTA, Ga., August 15.���The tropica! storm which has been raging along the gulf coast for two days lias kmight completely isolated the city of Mobile. Alabama, from the outside world. It is knoAvn that considerable damage has been done along the water front in Mobile, but whether there has been loss of life is mere conjecture. Nothing has been heard from the country south of Mobile tij) to the time tbe last wire to Mobile failed. At half-past 4 today the AArcstern Union oflico in Mobile was abandoned, the water at that time being three feet deep in the operating room. Two hours later communication was had for a few minutes with Mobile. The Associated Press operator there had made his way to the operating room in a boat. He took up his position on top of the switchboard severalfeet abovo the flooded ofiice and detaching the Associated Press Avire from its place in the board, sent this message: "Am top of switchboard here with, a lineman. AVater is over three feet deep in this room and still rising. The wind is blowing 50 miles an hour and we look for worse things tonight. Tin* business district is deserted." Here the wire failed and nothing more could be neard from him, although the most persistent efforts were made. Peddler Was Deported BUFFALO.

If the Ledge means that none of the dailies _ in Kootenay are returning their owners sufficient to afford a.comfortable livelihood/then the Ledge is right; but if it means that all the dailies in Kootenay are subject to the direction of persons other than their editors, then the Ledge is wrong. There are four daily neAVspapers in Kootenay, namely, the Rossland Miner, the Rossland World, tfle Nelson Miner and The Tribune. The Rossland Miner is said to be OAvned and controlled by the man-, agement of the Le Roi Mining Company, and its editors are not in a position to be independent; they.are required to ad-, vocate a policy tliat may be the opposite of what they themselves believe in, and if they do not do as they are bid,..they know that there are others ready to take .their places. The Rossland World is independent, hut may be biased. Its managers are in sympathy Avith the cause they advocate, and the position they have taken is not inconsistent Avith independence. The Nelson Miner is owned by the Crow's Nest Coal Company, and the managers of that company, no doubt, Avill. in time, direct its editors what course to take on questions that concern the public. In the. past, its editors have not been free agents. The Tribune is not now and never has been subject, in the slightest degree, to outside dictation. No line has ever appeared in its editorial or news columns against the wishes of its editors. No person.or corporation can say that they are able to influence its editors to secure the publication of a word that the editors are not AVilling to publish. _Not"lT^voTd=is=insCTted^or=a"^vord='left! out because of outside dictation. No political party, and no organization, either labor or church, has ever attempted to dictate the policy of The Tribune, and none are likely to as long as it is edited by its present editors. Its editors may be opinionated but thoy are absolutely independent. Tlie Tribune's independence may not be the brand used in the Ledge editorial room, but it is the only brand that has been on tap in The Tribune oflice since November 24th, 1S02. ��� ..^a.ijjiL We sre daily In receipt of fresh photo supplies ���films, printing papers, plates, chemicals, and all developing accessories.

It is improved, the improvements being assessed for three-fourths of the total. $1200. This year the municipal taxes amount to $3-1.20. Like property assessed for ?1200 in Nelson Avould pay $5.47 taxes. If assessed for $G0O on land and $600 on improvements the taxes would'be $0.45; and if assessed for $1200 on land alone, the taxes would only be $17.40. The deal for the purchase of the iron mines near Kitchener, Goat River mining division, West Kootonay district, was closed yesterday by the payment of $62,750 cash. This is the largest sum ever paid in Kootenay for undeveloped claims. The parties Avho paid trie money are said to be interested in the Canadian Pacific railway, and tho parties Avho received it are, in the main, residents of Nelson and Goat River mining divisions. The payment of so large a sum is evidence that there are men in the East able and AVilling to take hold of legitimate mining propositions in Kootenay; that they are not in any way influenced by Memorials of Mine Owners' Associations or expressions of "blue- ruin" newspapers. The Rossland Miner, in commenting on the visit to Rossland of the minister of education, says: "Kootenay requires " the fostering care of the legislature " to a greater extent than does the *' Coast." The "fostering care" that Hossland Avants is unlimited appropriations. Nelson and Rossland both wanted new school buildings. Rossland Avanted one that Avould cost not less than $20,000, but Avould not contribute a cent towards its cost. Tlie government raised its appropriation for the Ono by one the political mining companies are being forced into liquidation, and' the day is not far distant when the managers of these companies "will be following occupations that they Avere cut out for. These companies only created distrust when in existence, and whatever bad name British Columbia may have as a mining country is largely due to the false statements sent broadcast by their managers.

THE PREMIER DANSEUSE A Story of Rivalry at Dog Rib. There Avere seven dance halls in Dog Rib the first season it became known to fame as a gold producer, and Razzle Dazzle Dodo Avas the premiere danseuse of the Temple of Terpsichore, or, as the glittering sign over the entrance had it, "The Tempel of Terpsicore." The Rev. Peter Stuyvesant Cook, known as "Pulpit Pete'.' since his fall from grace to the dens of Dog Rib, had strenuously -opposed this spelling and consequent pronunciation, but when a committee of ' prominent citizens Avaited on him to announce that Dog Rib peremptorily refused to use four syllables in pronoun-, cing any word that could be more satisfactorily handled with three; and that, furthermore, be it resolved that it Avas un-American to allow any foreign nation "to shove its style of spelling in on free-born citizens of this great and glorious republic," he had wisely withdrawn-his opposition and had drowned his orthographic and ortheopic sorrows in several flowing bowls. So the sign went up according to the dictates of the conscience of Dog Rib, and within a month; Razzle Dazzle Dodo had tripped on' fairy feet to the throne of the temple, and was its undisputed queen. Other dancers there were in the temple, and others still in the other halls of the town, but Razzle Dazzle Dodo reigned supreme on the stage and on the billboards, exactin**: tribute from friend and foe, and booming the business of the. temple. Who she had been, what mother she had, what father, what brothers, or sisters, or husbands, did not concern-Dog Rib, for Dog; Rib measured merit by success/and she had .that to the limit. \- She Avas a woman beyond the sunshine of her '"twenties, still girlish and grace- fur through all her 'years of dissipation, and fair to the eyes of those whose ideas of feminine beauty coincided with those of the bard of the Dog Rib, Avlio had written a poem to her in crimson ink, the first stanza of wliich was as follows: .--,'... - "Here's a health to the red, red rose G , That blows In the cheeks of our goddess fair; , And a glass o To the mass Of yellow gold That gleams in her glorious hair." In more prosaic language, Dodo was of the less-refined type of beauty, us gauged by cultured standards, and',her manners and speech Avere in harmonious unison Avith her personal appearance. It Avas known that she Avas a product ; of the West���the untamed and llocculent West-���and Dog Rib honored her accordingly, as had other mining towns where Dodo shone resplendent osfoie Dog Rib's prominence, and they had bestowed upon her the incandescent title by. which she was then known; for when she began her saltatorial march to conquest she had modestly entered her name on the roster as "Dorothy Kelly." As might have been expected of an idol so generally worshiped, there Avere _indiA*idualsTwho_lield^elosei7relation3liipi to the divinity, and Avho might be classed as her hierarchy; and as might further be expected, these priests must have a chief priest, and in this instance he Avas a gambler, Avho called himself Jack Hazard. Whether that was his real name, or one acquired by reason of the character of his profession, Avas not definitely knoAvn, and Mr. Hazard Avas not a communicative person. It Avas undoubted, hoAvever, that he easily stood first in the good graces of Dodo, and Avhen he Avas in hard luck, a condition not infrequently known to all members of the fraternity.of chance, it was Dodo who provided him with funds, and helped him hold his head up Avhen he had laid his hands down in- successfully. "You are a canary bird, you are," the manager of the temple said to hei* one day Avhen she had asked for fifty dollars advance salary. "Why? Because I am such a good singer?" she twittered. . "Aav, come off," responded tho disapproving manager. "It's because the cat has got you.", "What do you mean?" sho flushed, angrily. "Hazard. He's eatin' you, bones and feathers," said the manager brutally, and yet meaning well enough. "Well, it's none of your business," she retorted, "and if you don't like it, I'll quit your place. See?" "Sh���so, boss," soothed the manager, fearing he might lose his star. "You great artists are quick as powder to go off at a touch. You can do- Avhat you please Avith your money, but it maker, me dead sore to see you wastin' it on a bleeder that don't care any more for you than he does for Dutch Kate, or Susan the Slipper, or the Duchess, or any other of the half a dozen more I could tell you of. Put that in your cigarette and inhale it," and the manager handed her over the fifty and watched to see the effect of his good advice. Dodo took the money and Avent out of the office without a Avord. She knew the manager Avas right; she knew the chief priest of the idol had become idol, and she Avas but a mere priestess, with the hope, as every such priestess has, that she might become chief, if not so already.

"Good old Jack," she said to him��� she called him old, although he Avas not yet forty���"it's a cold day Avhen Dodo is froze out," and she twirled the bills before his eyes, pirouetting about him mean while. "Fifty to one on Dodo," laughed the gambler, admiringly. "She's a winner every time." "If I could only win you, Jack," she whispered, coming close to him, her whole-manner changing. "And you have for sure, Dodo," he said, putting his arms around her after he had safely deposited the money in his vest pocket. "Lee said you didn't care for me any more than you did for a dozen other women." *'Oh, did he? Well, do you knoAV why?" "Just because he likes to lie and tease me, Jack? Is that it?" "Not all. Dodo." "Is he telling the truth, Jack?" She looked un at him as she held fast to him. - "Of course not," laughed Hazard, kissing her. "He Avants you himself,.Dodo. He's dead gone on you." Dodo laughed, but not all in derision. The pride of conquest lives in every woman's heart, and her unsought vic- tories please her in her greater triumphs, as they soothe her in her moments of defeat. "That's what he's gettin'-iip that song and dance carnival for," Hazard went on. "He wants to give you a chaiice to clean out the town and sIioav you up as the greatest dancer that ever come this way. Some of these other dance hall duffers think they've got prize trippers, but Leo's going to let them see they ain't in sight, and you'll. be the Nugget of the Gulch and the Temple will be :No.' 1 DiscoA'ery. Then he's going to ask you to marry him, and he's got a notion you will. I'm on to his rockers, and don't |you<forget it." "I Avoukin't marry a thing like him to save his 1 ife," Dodo said, hotly, as she clung to Hazard, fearful that he. might think she could be persuaded' away from'him. , "Cert, you -..wouldn't,"- assented' the gambler;-"but he: don't know that." "Well, I'll Ayin his five hunderd plunks and show him what I think of him," Dodo laughed, and danced across the floor in a nutter of excitement and defiance. This carnival of song' and���: dance at the Temple waso advertised to be the greatest social and artistic event Dog Rib had ever known. It was not only the talk of the toAvn, but its. fame had extended abroad, and the artists from all the neighboring camps had notified manager-Lee they would enter the lists, while his Dog Rib rivals were making every exertion to secure talent to represent their establishments, and, if possible, gain for them and their business all that triumph at such an event would mean. Tavo days before the carnival Dog Rib experienced a sensation in dance hall circles. "A new dancer arrived and had appeared at .'the Palace of Pure Gold with immediate and pronounced sue-' cess. The proprietor of the Palace of Pure Gold had imported her for the j!xj*jies_s=pjLirpos(*^of=wj n n i ng=tlie=gL*and= prize at the carnival, and he did not hesitate to state verbally and on his glaring bill-boards that he had sent to San Francisco for her, where she had given up an engagement of a thousand .dollars a Aveek to compete at the Dog Rib carnival. The Palace of Pure Gold was, after the Temple, the most gorgeous and popular resort in Dog Rib, and its manager had already exchanged shots Avith the manager of the Temple, but friends had intervened to prevent further hostilities. Tho name of tho new arrival, as it appeared on tho bill-boards of the Palace, Avas La Deda, which Dog Rib had at once corrupted by placing the accent on the last syllable, and the dancer Avas given a high place in the favor of the "Palace Plugs," as manager Lee politely designated tlie patrons of his rival. Others felt the influence of the marvelous stories told of the Avonderful skill of La Deda, and the betting, Avhich had been five to ono on Dodo, fell off to four to one, and the manager of the Palace had been reported as offering I even money on his entry, but he could not be found to verify tlie rumor by those avIio had money to risk. The fifty dollars Dodo had so gleefully brought to Hazard had been promptly dropped by that gentleman, and ugly tales were in circulation concerning certain tricks of. his which are always fatal to the good repute of those of his calling, and when Dodo asked manager Lee for another fifty, before its predecessor Avas fairly cold, he had manifested his displeasure and hearty disapproval by cutting her request in two. Hazard had not spoken kindly to Dodo Avhen she reported a raise of only twenty-five dollars, but half a loaf Avas better than no bis.cuit at all, and he had gone off angry, but taking with him Dodo's tAvcnty-five dollars. "Vou shall have more. Jack." she said to him, pleadingly, "when I collar the prize at the carnival. Think of 'it, old boy. Five hundred good hard plunks. Why, you can buck the whole shooting match Avith that." "Wait till you get it," he growled. "The Lah de dah may be my banker this time next week." There was a mean smile on his face, and the tears came to Dodo's eyes, but she could not let him go with an angry Nelson Branch���Burns Block, 221 Baker Street. J. M, LAY, Manager. word on her lips, and she did not reply to his taunt. That night Mr. Hazard was caught in the act, and when the morning sun rose over Dog Rib, flooding the narrow valley Avith an effulgence of purple and amethyst, there Avas crape on his door. It was Dodo who had put it there, and it was Dodo who. had him taken to his room after the smoke had cleared away and the play had been decorously resumed. Otherwise it is barely possible the street sweepers would have found his remains obstructing the highway, for Dog Rib Avas no respecter of persons of his ilk. The carnival Avas to occur that evening, and there Avas no time for funerals, so the Hazard obsequies Avhich Avere to be very simple for obvious reasons, were- postponed until the following day. Dodo was the only mourner, but she did not permit her grief to interfere with business. , , . "I'll swipe that five hundred or fracture a limb," she said softly to herself, "and eood old Jack shall have the grandest funeral this town ever saw, bar none." During the afternoon she went around to the quarters of the deceased;1 and as she entered the place the proprietor of the boarding house told her there was a lady in Mr. Hazard's room, and hastened to explain that he had let her in "seein' that friends of the fam'lyhad been respectively invited to attend, and she said she was a friend." Dodo hurried into the room, fearing something," she knew^ not what, and jealous even of the dead. Possibly, the visitor Avas Dutch Kate, or Susan the Slipper, or some one of the others of whom the manager had spoken, and the thought of.--.it sent the blood whirling through her veins. As she opened the door La Deda turned from the coffin 'to meet her. Dodo knew her���'from-.tiav- ing seen her pnn the street. "What are you doing here?" she greeted her, abruptly. V "I beg your pardon," responded the other woman, in a tone of refinement and irony that nettled Dodo, "I had a wild brother in the mines somewhere, and: something I .had heard -led me to think that he might.be.here." "Well,"-asked. Dodo, hard; and cold, resenting - any intrusion, "is he your brother?" '-������-..,..- "I am glad to say he is not." . "Then get out of here, and get quick. I'm 'tending to this funeral myself."' Dodo Avas clinching her hands and patting her foot in the effort to suppress 'an outbreak. "Oh," sneered La'Deda, showing not the slightest intention of accepting the invitation so directly given, "by what right, may I ask, do you assume so much?" "Who's got a better right?" she an- SAvered, defiantly. "I'm the only friend he had." "Merely a friend?" queried La Deda, with cutting scorn. Dodo Avas not prepared for a struggle of, this kind. She could talk with any of them when she was angry, but sorroAV overmastered anger in the presence of the dead,, and her eyes moistened. "I���I���I loved him," she said, sloAvly, with quivering lips. iThe^other=w.oman!simanner=xChanged=a= w ft* 00- 00*00*00 '00* 00 ��� 00 '00 '00*00 -00-00 t^>. *t2�� ��� ^ 'J2** (>>,' ^^^^^Ik^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ifi*. fix fix fix fix fix fix ill fix Established in Nelson 1890.

He promised to marry me then." "Oh, did he?" and La Deda grew scornful again. "Well, he was my husband, and had been for more than ten years." Dodo looked straight into her face for an instant. "You are a liar!" she exclaimed, starting fiercely toward her. "I think not," said La Deda, with a smile, extending a package of papers. "Read what is there." The woman,was so firm and calm that Dodo could only obey, and she took the papers and opened them with nervous lingers. One was a certificate of marriage dated a dozen years back; the other was a letter, not a month old, from the gambler asking his "dear wife" for money. She knew the writing too well to deny that the letter was from Hazard, and she handed the package back to its rightful owner in silence. La Deda tore both certificate and letter into pieces and tossed them aside. "They are of no further value," she said, with a harsh laugh. "The present takes the place of the past, and the question now is, what are you going to do about it?" nodding toward the coffin. Dodo gathered herself togetuer. There were tears in her voice, but the presence of the other woman gave her strength. She stepped over to the side of the coffin and laid her hand on the still hands folded across the lifeless breast. "I'm going to win that dance tonight," she said, "and blow every d���d cent of the prize money on the biggest funeral for good old Jack that this town ever wont to. That's what." It was like a piece of acting, and La Deda involuntarily clasped her hands. The tears came to her eyes, such tears as women weep at plays, perhaps, but they were tears that softened the hard lines in the woman's face. "Razzle Dazzle," she said, "you're all right. A man may destroy the faith and the love of his wife, but it's different with his sweetheart. Good-by; I'm going back to 'Frisco on the stage that leaves here at G o'clock this evening."���W. J.

After the arrest of the brokers their office was ransacked and an immense number of tickets and passes was found.

Judge Forin spent several hours yesterday afternoon in an attempt to discover the terms upon which thirteen tons of car- =ro_ts=beioiigirig^to=a=Chliiairian=:-TianreUTfif AVong got into the root house of J. AV. Stewart, the contractor who had the building of the Procter extension. The Chinaman claimed that the carrots were purchased outright by tho contractor and on account of this ho sued for the sum of S2(i0. The contractor's agent, Donald MeLeod, had a very different story. 11 was that the carrots were merely stored in tho root house for the convenience of the Chinaman, that he had endeavored to effect a sale of them on the Chinaman's account, and that lhe Chinaman's story of a sale of Iho carrots was preposterous, as thirteen tons would be sufficient for tho construction of 150 miles of railway. Mr. Arc- Lood admitted tlio using of a portion of the carrots by Uro contractor, for which the sum of S-lu had boon paid Into court. P. IS. Wilson appeared for the Chinaman, but he could not mako any headway for his client against the evidence of MeLeod, and the case was dismissed with costs. As a result of tho deal the Chinaman is now out the amount wliich was paid i**rto court as well as the carrots, which became unmarketable by reason of his refusal to accept the contention that they were In the root houso merely as a convenience to him.

AVork upon the 50-ton concentrator which tho London Ss British Columbia Goldlields is putting up on tlie Enterprise mine on Ten-mile is being pushed ahead as rapidly as possible and within a few weeks the mill should commence crushing. The property has been undergoing steady development for the past year and there is now said to be sitflicierrl ere in sight in the property and on the dumps to keep the mill running to its full capacity for two years. The company lias played in rallier good luck with respect to the securing of its mill machinery in that the bulk of it was secured before the machinists' strike got tilings into a tangle on the other side of the line, and the water motors, whicli wero the last of (ho outlit to be shipped, were on the last boat which the longshoremen permitted to bo laden in the port of San Francisco. The compressor for the SPOKANE, August 15.���AVilliam Black- man, labor commissioner for the state of Washington, who arrived from Northport last night after spending several days in oloking over the strike at the smelter there said to a representative of tiie Spokesnian- Roview: "I am fully convinced that the smelting corporation is working to reduce wages. For that reason It refuses to treat with the striking smeltcrmen. I think tlio company plans to drive out all tlio late em- polyoes, who In many eases own their little homos at Northport. My belief is that an Inferior class of laborers will then be brought in, who will bo content to 'work for less wages. Eventually the company will run a company store, which will take all tho trade of the employees. As a lirst step irr this direction the company has already built about ton shacks and -some boarding houses. I found that there are about 200 men working at the smelter. That figure includes guards and the ollicc crow. From what 1 learned, about two-thirds of the .men who are imported refuse to stay at work. I was courteously received by manager Kadish bf the smelting company, who showed me over the works. When C .proposed to arbitrate the strike, however, he told me that the company had nothing to arbitrate. He asserted that the company would not be dictated to by the union, and he put peculiar stress on the wages and hours, which he said were the most favorable to workingmen to be found in any smelter in the country. He declares, that there wore about 20 agitators in tho union, whom his company would never consent to re-employ. So long as the union demanded their re-employment thero was no chance of a settlement. He said .with tho exception of those 20 he was willing to tako back all the strikers. I asked whether Iho strikers could retain membership in tho union on returning to work for him. He evaded the question and said he was not in a position to give a positive answer. I saw the union men also and talked to them on Tuesday night.
