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."@en, ""@en ; edm:aggregatedCHO "https://open.library.ubc.ca/collections/xtribune/items/1.0189290/source.json"@en ; dc:format "application/pdf"@en ; skos:note " ,i-ii y,tMm**��-i*___ ^ *mm ���** h'%,.1 Im lyft.1* * W w_lin-liJHil ttne TEN CENTS A AVEEK BY CARRIER Monday, August *0t J 903 SINGLE COPY 5 CENTS Poplai* Creek, the scene of the recent gold discoveries, was swarmed over yesterday by excursionists from Nelson, Kaslo, and way points on Kootenay lake, the Canadian Pacific running a special \"boat which enabled sight-seers to take in the new finds and get back home oh the .evening of t tie same day. There were up- , wards of 100 mining fever patients from Nelson, and as many more boarded the boat at Kaslo. It was an ideal day for an-; outing and the party reached the.upper end of Kootenay lake in high spirits. Here they got atonic for the mining fever by which\"they were afflicted-.by the way of glimpses of the old townsites of Lardo and Argenta, which ten years ago ���were keen rivals for the mining boom in the Duncan river country, which failed to ' keep its date. The former is now buried uncfer 40 feet of wash which swept over the old townsite during the freshet of 1894, but a new town has sprang up to the north of Lardo river, and is now receiving attention chiefly as a stopping place on the road to the new discoveries of Poplar creek. \" Across the lake Argenta' is playing the role of a deserted village, and its sole inhabitant holds undisputed - sway alike over the tqwnlots of .credulous investors of 1893-4 and the abandoned railway grade which skirts' the upper shore of the lake. -=��� ,. ^-V. -\"->.���;' From Lardo the journey to Poplar creek was,continued over the. C.P.R.- branch line, which connects Trout Lake with* the ; grea. waterways to the j south, the scene: of the gold strike being about 18 miles from. Lardo as the railway,line runs. . A _ Ifirst-class coach, two box cars, and ,a caboose were 'brought into requisition' to move the excursionists, and Poplar creek was reached about 1 O'clock. The land alorjg the Lardo l'iver falls ��� chiefly' into the selections made by the K. & S. railway company, but in therush to get the camp started, those who xie- ��� sired to do. business in it have squatted ' where- it suited them best and will take their chances with the railway company's. land- agent; who wiil shortly* be oh the7 ground. At-present the camp is wearing .its swaddling clothes and consists of an hotel, two buildings which promise to blossom \"out into general stores, and a mimbeB of prospectors' tents scattered _ along_the rivrer_-bank,-or.hidden=in,a_nong^ the big timber which clothes the entire section up to an elevation of 1500 or 2000 feet above the level of the river. Just what the future of the camp will be can be more \"safely predicted in the course of a few months than at present. The excursionists were given four hours in which to see the strikes that have been been made in the camp. The show claim of the camp is the Lucky Jack. This property is but a few ���minutes walk from the railway track and the excursionists made straight for it when the train pulled into the camp. The owners profess to have about ten distinct veins on the property, on six of which they have free gold showing, but they have done nothing but surface scraping, and on the big showing on the property they have done nothing. In view of this the showing must be regarded as one of the most sensational in the history of mining in British; Columbia. A little to the south of Poplar creek rises a sheer bluff, which appears to be about 50 feet high, and.from the crown of this bluff for a distance of about 40 feet there outcrops a ledge of white quartz, standing put boldly in the face of the bluff in a manner one would think would challenge the attention and investigation of the first prospector that came that way. But it did not. Where it outcrops the ledge looks to be about two feet wide but the owners say its average width is nearer four feet. There may be a question as to the width of the ledge but therecan be ho question biit that the quartz exposed; is the richest that has been found in Koot-. enay. Between the bluff from which the ledge is showing and the river there has fceen a rock slide, but through this and on down to the creek there are disclosed out- croppings of quartz. These may be large pieces of float or they may be outcrop- pings of the ledge, but it will require work to determine which. The great body of the excursionists were compelled to content themselves with looking at a number of boulders which had been dug out of the rock slide referred to, a small boy with a big gun keeping the curious back \"from tne place where the ledge outcrops in the bluff. The boulders, however, were interesting, there being a great deal of free gold showing wherever the rock-was broken and these were promptly seized by the excursionists as mementoes of their trip. There is all kinds of exaggerated talk as to what the owners of the Lucky .Jack property are going to do. They have a big thing if they do not uncover another pound of ore than what is showing, but there is enough hot air in the camp just now to make the stranger giddy, and -any old thing in the way of quartz is readily given a value of $100 to the ton. The Lucky Jack is by no means the only good thing that has beenyfouhd in the camp., There are a number of others, some of which, m the opinion of good miners, are held in much higher regard than the very showy Lucky Jack, and what is of equal importance, the entire section.is being closely prospected. There are at the present time upwards of 300 calculation as to how he was going to get on top of the jam, but again the current fooled him and he went under the jam. He was very much the worse for wear when he came out on the down stream side and too weak to make much of a fight against a second jam which he could make out a short distance below him. When he went under the second jam Tom had just about lost consciousness, but with rare good luck he came from under the second jam without getting caught on anything. He was then being swept down stream without any effort on his part when his feet struck a sand bar. He was too weak to standi but the touching of the bar put new life in him. Ahead_of him was a third jam, and as he was swept up to.it. Tom managed to catch a small log and drag himself safely on top. When he got out he lost .consciousness. Whenjhe came too he found that the jam he was on was the -one he shoidd have walked to in order to cross the river,:ahd he hoofed it back to camp the sorest pros-' pector in the district. He says Sunday's experience is by long odds thc closest call he ever had for his life ahd he won't attempt to ford the Lardo any more. : -[Sp.ecial to.Tiie Evening Tribune.] ; Slocan- CiTYy - A-ugust 10.���A meetiug of Conservatives-was held here on Satur- day;nignt inxthe association rooms, there being a good attendance.

Tom' Collins, the well-known verse- building prospector of Kootenay, who has been in the Poplar creek district for the past week, had a narrow escape from drowning\" 1 oh y Sunday. Tom had been over on the north side of the Lardo river, and in order !tb avoid the necessities of walking a mile through the bottom lands to a log jam crossing, he undertook to ford the stream. When Tom got about 100 feet into the stream the current carried him, off his feet. This did not bother him ve*ry muchj and he made up his mind that he would swirn: the balance of the distance. In this he made a mistake, as the currant swept him along like a cork in spite of his best efforts. With a bend in the stream Tom saw that he was to go up against a short log jam.

It is stated that M. Rostkovski was hated by the Turks on account of his intense arrogance. Tom Bennett is up from Salmo and brings tidings of a strike that has bceD madeonSheep creek by F. _?. Drummond The location is a new one, and is'not -more than 2000 feet from tile Yellowstone mine,.and only a short distance from the Queen; on whicli William Waldie is now at work with a force of men. The ledge - is 2}{ feet wide and holds that width for 750 feet, but it can be traced for nearly two miles. The ore is free, milling, gold being visible with the naked eye. Prospectors acquainted with the country say that the free-gold belt extends to the Bayohue group of claims, on the .Kootenay lake slope, a distance of ten miles,. and that the country' has not been .prospected. These gold finds, scattered as - they are, should attract hundreds of pros-- pectors once more to Kootenay, which is * recognized as the best poor man's country on earth. G. W. Stead of Philadelphia has bonded a number of craims near the Granite mine, six or seven miles southeast of Nelson. One of them is the Star, owned by John, Biomberg and the Johnson brothers,\". - Oscar and Mike. ' The bond was for' $30,- * 000, ten per cent of which was paid in cash. John P. Swedberg is the owjner of the other claims, and it. is; reported * his _ .bond is for #15,000, of which tenper cent': was cash.

He*is down'from Prince of Wales. Island, where, he- is building a copper smelter. In an interview 'he said*: \"We have a large force of men at work on the new smelter at tho Mamie mine, owned by thc Brown-Alaska company on Prince of Wale's Island: Five or six buildings are now in course of construction. The new smelter, which will handle all ���the ore from the Mamie, -will be in operation by the first of the year. The smelter will have a capacity at the beginning of about 400 tons a day, but we hope in timo to increase'the capacity to 2000 tons daily.

There is a solidforestof trees out of which we had to, excavate a space large enough to place the smelting works. The trees range from 2 to 11 feet in diameter. A crosscut in the new lower tunnel of the Mamie shows the ore to be 87 feet wide, ranging from 7 to 8 per cent copper, with perhaps $1 in gold and silver. It is pf equal size with the wonderful deposits in the Boundary, and has the same self-fluxing qualities, but it carries three or four - times as much value. It will make one of the greatest copper mines in the world. Ours is not the only big thing on the ' island. The Crackerjack is a' free gold proposition which promises to-be a wonder. There is from 8 to 17 feet of high grade gold ore there, and Charles Lane, the San Francisco, millionaire who made a fortune in Nome, is developing it with a crew of 70 men. It has been under development for about a year. We expect to contract for about 100 tons of its silicious ores daily as a flux. with, our copper, but in addition the Crackerjack will have a stamp mill of its own.\" The political lacrosse game will net the public library over $100, the receipts at the gate alone being $115. - ii The ESverririg: Tribune _***- v^* i*^ >���* :Hi^' i*J- ��� l * cf^* .*tf ,5- V \"�� -j'- _'. l*-_>'��iV ���* -*2___ t7 Bank of Montreal Established 1817.

MONDAY, AUGUST 10, 1903 It takes time and a great amount of kicking to secure what'every section of the country is entitled to, that is, good mail facilities. The Crow's Nest railway has heen in operation five years, yet yesterday was the first time a Sunday mail was ever received over it; but. from this time on there will he a daily mail service on the Crow's Nest road. For over a year there has been a rail and steamboat ser- -vice-between=Nelson=aiid^Trou_LLi^,_y_L1L the mails between the two points are sent around via Revelstoke, part of the way over a wagon road. Travellers and express and freight leave Nelson for Trout Lake at half-past two o'clock in the af- noon, and are at Trout Lake the same evening. A letter from Nelsou for Trout Lake leaves Nelson at 6:40 p.m. and goes through to Revelstoke, reaching, that place in 28 hours. It lays there over night, and the next day it is carried back the same route which it came the day before, and reaches Trout Lake on the evening of the second day from Nelson. If the Nelson Liberal Association would devote just one meeting to discussing adequate mail facilities between Nelson and Trout Lake, and pass a resolution demanding the establishment of a mail route between Nelson and Trout Lake, and wire the resolution to W. A. Galliher, M.P., Ottawa, the chances are the new camp at Poplar Creek would get a postoffice and the people of Nelson, Kaslo, Trout Lake, and Ferguson facilities they are entitled to. Grits, get a move on! \" political expediency. He is a reader \" and a close observer and, perforce, must \" know that the old theory that the tariff \" is a benefit to the farmer has been ex- \" ploded long ago. The Repiiblican \" party of the States fooled0the farmer on \" that proposition for years. In time, \" however, the farmer became intelligent \" and the clap-trap argument had to be \" dropped.\" If the contention of the Her- ���ald is right, why lias not the Liberal party had thej3ourage of its convictions? It is a-Free Trade party by~wnvicti6^alTd\" a-Protection party in practice, just as is the Democratic party in the United States. If Free Trade 'would be such a 'good, thing for the farmer, is it not strange that the farming provinces of Canada and the great farming states of the United States should send so many Protectionists to parliament and to congress? The Cranbrook Herald in saying that \" John Houston \" sacrifices his honest convictions to \"political expediency\" is probably not aware that John Houston is a printer and not a politician, and, judging from the Herald, printers are always looking for the side of the bread on which the butter is. -.
