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.

The reforms were all in the line of strict economy without destroying efficiency. The scavenger department was to be run by two men, which would result in a sav- ' ing of not less than $2,000 a year. The clerical staff at the city office was to be reduced to two men, which would make a saving of $960 a year. The salaries paid the.medical health officer, the city solicitor, and the police magistrate were to be reduced, so as to effect a saving of $1,000 a year. The \"salaries and perquisites of the police force were to _be lixed so as to make a saving^-of $250 a year. A.8 outlined above, the savings . ' would aggregate $4,210.

There are many causes, sorrie* of which might be eliminated if; the investor could be -shown them. ^Nearly everyone has, at some time or another, bought \"mining stock\" or \"taken a flyer\"; yet how many of those whose investments have proven^ disastrous have reinvested or \"tried again\"? Their speculative fej*/er subsides after the bleeding. As a \"result mining engineers are far less busy than they might be, and the .development. 0/ the mineral resources , of various .parts 'of our country-is thereby much \"retarded. A discussion of these conditions, their causes, and, their ultimate elimination would be timely,\" and it might show many unsuccessful investors the proper way to try again. ' ' - ��� - _' . . Don't invest money on the strength of a printed prospectus or the a I vice of an \"interested friend\" without preliminary investigation by a reliable engineer. Don't \"take a flyer'' in mining, but invest your money with the same care and discretion-you Twould use in buying bank stocks, real estate or a silk factory. Don't trust altogether to, luck. Use a little sound business sense. Don't invest in a mining company that guarantees dividends. Dame Nature' has\" something.to say about that. Don't in-- ve8t>,in -Chaining company that is selling treasury stock arid\" paying dividends at the same time, if the mine is earning dividends thecompany owning it seldom has a legitimate interest in selling more stock. \"depended oji\" to existing mining changes in- the tbey record, by moving the.follo\\j.irig.resoiution in. the ���mining committee,' a resolution-that was reported to ' t:He house: \"Resolved, that your committee consider it inadvisable to\" biake^ any changes\"-in-the Miiie.al and PI ace r_ Alining Acts during the present session;.\"' , Were. similar taction taken \" at each session of the legislative, assembly- for the next-ten y^lS��^|thefi rite res ts];!bf5'th& n 1 ining industirvIwoiiilQ1.be 'febest:/servedi; Don't spend*all of-your capital on top. of the ground: ; Do \"some digging.\" jDmi't ^ujS-too-m uch . to-rri r ory-^r^M'in ij$^la'rfct-s are ..cheap!*;; \"Concentrate- yptrr\" opei-a^ tions and your, canital lat'tEe_points- whVreydur ore bodies have been--.found/ Additional /surface territory\" means nothing uuless^ it> contains-ore.^ Don't expect your\"ore to grow . richer with\" depth.

Rossland has two grievances. One is the 2 per cent tax and the other is the C. P. R.'s preferential treatment' of Nelson. One has about as much in it as has the other.
