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.

The force of meu afc the property is now engaged in taking ore from a chute recently located, which contains several inches of high grade ore similar to the samples forwarded. One of these specimens, claimed to fairly, represent the character of the pay chute, was assayed here and gave'returus of 544 ounces silver. Another specimen was assayed at Sandon and went 1555 ounces. A shipment will probably he made shortly, the results of which will bo awaited with interest, although the percentage will be* reduced somewhat owing to the fact that the shipment will include wl quantity of the ore from the ledge adjoining.the paystreak. that operations would have been in full Hwing ere this, and the event is awaited with keen interest as the introduction of a live corporation into the district means much to surrounding properties. The Highland Concentrator. The Highland concentrator at the Highland mine in the Ainsworth camp is practically completed and will be in working order shortly. E. It. Woakes, local manager of the Highland company, leaves today for Ainsworth aud-expects to start the mill before returning. ,-siliall Tsham of Sandon, one of the '$_&$$%? Returns From Two Friends Ore. The Two Prieiids mine, on Springer creek, shipped a" quantity of ore to .the Nelson smelter this week, the- returns -for which are just issued. The shipment consisted of 37_ tons, and the net re- ajdfc'was $1850, which was cousid-' erably lower than the average of previous shipments. The property is located two and a-half miles above the Arlington mine, and is well-known, Jiaving shipped from $-10,000 to $50,000 worth of ore up, to the present time.;. Thei property Lis J&eld^.bjc,,John/, .McVieac^and^ Thomas' Lake under" 'a' "lease - and bond. The "principal-owners are Messrs. York.and Shatford, both of whom were-in Nelsou last week, when they acquired the quarter interest in the"claim held by R. Alar- pole of Arancouver. Arlington to Ship. Manager McKenzie of the Arlington (Erie) mine states that some ore will be shipped from the property this winter. The company has 40 men at work afc the present time, but does not claim that they have yet reached the mining stage. "We are prospecting," says Mr. McKenzie, "and-are employing a large crew because it is, in our opinion, , better, to do prospecting as rapidly -as possible.^���At-the-Keystone-on- Whiskey creek, not far from the Arlington, a Spokane syndicate has a crew of men opeuiug up the vein,. John Shuttleworth, the owner of the Keystone, was in Nelson tbis week. lie has received the first payment on the bond, whicli is for $25,000. It is stated that the claim ia showiug up well. Staking Snow Claims. The report of the sti ike on the Royston group has been the means of sending up more than one experienced prospector to the west slope of Morning mountain for the purpose of securing ground. The difficulties to be encountered in locating claims at the present time when the hill is buried in six to twelve feet of snow and the existing location stakes are only to be discovered with a snow-shovel can be imagined. The likely ground now. vacant on Morning mountain has narrowed down to small dimensions: but on the theory that the early bird secures the prize, several enterprising prospectors have gone up the hill at a season when pros- Xxeeting; can' onlyvbe a matter of question. '._______' The kaslo Camp. George Alexander of the Kootenay Ore Company, operating sampling, works at Kaslo, is in the city"today'on business.'" Mr. Alex- ' under states that shipments of ^ ore have dropped off somewhat during the past week or two, but that increased activity is looked for at an early date.

Greenwood, January 11.���[Special to The Tribune].���Henry Madden of the Windsor hotel is out a keg of beerj and there is rather -a peculiar story in connection with it. Seven-years ago Madden ran a hotel at Coulee City, in the Big Bend country. That was at a time when the financial condition of the state of Washington was at a very low ebb, and the citizens of the Big Bend metropolis were. as badly off as their brethren. ^ Madden had made up his* mind to close up and go elsewhere, but previous to leaving the place gave a little picnic party to some -congenial spirits, choosing the shores of Lake Chelan for the occasion. Considerable liquid refreshment was taken with them, and as long as it held out the campers staid.-' Then came the last bottle, and a "thought struck the host, who penciled a few lines on a piece of paper, placed it in the bottle, and havingicorked it up, threw the bottle, far'r- into, the lake and promptly forgot-all -about .-it. i/rhevp_-.rty*^e_fcurned v home; and *"-he left" the Big "Bend country, going first into business "at Northport then coming here. Today Madden was approached by a stranger who introduced himself as L. B. Holgate, a recent arrival here, who exhibited to him a piece of paper the pencil wording of which, though slightly obliterated, read: "Whoever finds this order is entitled -to a keg of beer by applying to Henry Madden, Coulee City, Wash." That Madden was astonished might well be imagined, and after "setting them up" the stranger told his story. Holgate was a sergeant in the "Fighting First," Uncle Sam's pet regiment from the neighboring state.and after the Washingtons were disbanded at'���''Frisco found himself wifclrquifce a stake.���Ke-and-a-com- paniou made up their minds to go prospecting in the Lake Chelan country. Last .July they arrived at place called Safety Harbor,, and while his partner was fishing Hol: gate employed the time prodding the sand from a log. His labors were rewarded by finding a bottle which, on examination, was .--found to contain a piece of paper, and it was the order Madden had written out six years before. He kept the paper and during the course of his'. rambles was in both Coulee City and Northport, but the author was gone. Ho struck Greenwood the first of the week and noticed Mad- den's name on a bill of fare at the hotel aud promptly made his acquaintance, with the result that the order was duly honored, and the finder broached the keg of beer. From the spot where Madden threw the bottle in t6 Lake Chelan to Safety Harbor ib is about 23 miles, so the bottle drifted around for some six years, finally being washed upon the beach and then buried in the sand. Do Not Want McKinley. Atlanta, January 11.-���A special from New Orleans says: At a meeting of the camp of the Army of the Tennessee, the strongest of the Confederate associations of New Orleans, a resolution offered by general Stephen Chalaron, commander of the camp, protesting against the invitation of president* McKinley to the Confederate reunion to be held in Memphis this spring, was unani- - mously adopted. General Chalaron explained that ifc was understood that the president would be invited to Memphis, and the resolution was intended simply as a warning not to do it. THE DESIGNS OF RUSSIA THERE IS NO INTENTION KEEPING MANCHURIA. OF So Says the Russian Minister, But the Britishers Refuse to be Soothed by His Assurances. London, . .January 12.���M. De Giers,the Russian minister to China, denies the current leport that Russia is endeavoring to make a special agreement with China irrespective of the other powers. "Had this been the case," he said today, "It would not have signed' the joint note, although probably as far as Manchuria i3 concerned, Russia and China will make special arrangements, which will not conflict with any treaties or agreements made by Russia and the other joint powe'rs. I do not believe that Russia has any intention of keeping Manchuria. Indeed she is placing all the Chinese officials possible in office. Probably, however, ifc will be necessary to guard .the railway for an indefinite period. ��� I do not believe that there are 25,000 Russian soldiers iu Manchuria." With reference' made to the claim by some of the other envoys, Mr. De Giers was very positive in saying that Russia had nofc violated her word in taking a concession at Tien-Tsin. Prince Ching and Li Hung Chang are still awaiting instructions from the court regarding the agreement. Both claim that, it is practically certain these orders will be favorable, enabling them to sign immediately. Prince Ching says proof of the court's intention to order the affixing of the signatures is to-be found in the fact'that prince'Chung, has been designated to go to Berlin to express China's regrets for. the "murder, of baron von Ketteller, ^ - ,..���JJp^po^,.Jaunary<:*lt2.���According to a dispatch to" the'" Daily News," from Shang-nai, captain Chon, who participated iu the Chuchou massacres, has been sentenced to death. SnANa-nAi,^ January 11.���The China- Gazette" asserts that three Italian warships have anchored off Sau Mun bay. This statement is not confirmed officially, but there are rumors of Italy's intention to acquire a station north of San Mun. London, January 12.���"Prince Uchtomby's miesion to Pekin," says the St. Petersburg correspondent of the Daily Mail, "was to secure a convention I understand of the following basis: In return for renouncing her claim for war indemnity Russia demands instead a ninety year lease of Xiao Kung peninsula and of. Port Arthur. In other words she demands annexation, as well as the complete possession of the Manchuria railway, which under the existing agreement reverts to China after ninety years. The Daily Chronicle makes the important statement: "From trustworthy stories we learn that lord Salisbury has agreed to cede to Russia the railway from Niu Chwang to Shan Hai Kwan. It is not known what compensation will be received for tho concession. Beading financiers Y versed in Chinese affairs who were interviewed yesterday by representatives of the Daily Chronicle appeared to think that if the news was correct ifc indicated that lord Salisbury recognized the .impossibility of preventing the partition of China- and that Russia would get the north and Great Britain the Yang Tse valley. The original prospectus of the railway company stipulated that the bond holders- mainly British, could be bought out afc any time at the rate of ��120 per ��100 bond.- The Daily Chronicle hv an editorial on the subject taunts lord Salisbury with havingmade 'another "graceful concession" "because Great Britain's entanglements deprive her of the strengtli to back up her diplomacy. Lord Dufferin's Explanation. London, January 11.���Amid cries of "Turn him out," hooting and other hostile interruptions, the marquis of Dnfferin and Ava, chairman of the suspended London & Globe Finance Corporation, Limited, at the extraordinary meeting of the company called yesterday, sue- ceeded in at least temporarily apr several peasing the wrath of the sharer J estate holders. The hall was packed, and the directors were evidently supported "by a' .considerrble faction, as warm cheering was mingled'with the hoots and hisses. As a reside of tlie explanations of the directors the shareholders voted an adjournment until Monday, when a scheme fpr the reconstruction of the concern will-be submitted. ' Lord Dufferin spoke with evident emotion as he explained his personal relations* ��� with the corporation, and the result of the meeting was largely attributed to himself. During the course of his remarks he explained that he was induced to accept the chairmanship at the solicitation of the late lord Loch and sir William Robinson.

Certain to Cause Discord. Manila, January 11.���The first day's discussion of the bill to establish a departmeut'of public instruction developed today a contest on the question of religion in public schools. The interest centers in the section permitting priests and ministers to teach religion for half an hour three times weekly outside of school hours, provided the parents express a written desire for such instruction, and prohibiting teach- eisfrom conducting religious exercises or teaching religion. The Federal party was represented by a committee, who, although Catholics, argued strongly in favor of the elimination of the section. They declared that the use of school houses for religious purposes is contrary to the United Sfcates constitution, and also to the platforms of the American parties and the Phil- ipine Federal party, and is certain to cause discord. A Most Unusual Development. '.* Berlin, .January ' 11. ��� Prince Chun, brother of emperor Kwan Su, paid a long visit to Dr. Von Schwartzentein, German minister to China, which according to a special dispatch from Pekin was . a most unusual development of Chinese etiquette. Dr. Von Schwartzentein, in a dispatch to the foreign officeon the subject, says: "Prince Chun created a sympathetic impression. He strongly resembles his brother, the emperor, .but is more robust and more intelligent.'' Anxious for the Canal. Managua, Nicaragua, via Galveston, Texas, January 12.���The people of Nicaragua, who are anxiously watching the progress of events with regard to the Nicaraguan canal, are in hopes that the government of the United States will pass the canal bill without delay. President Seelaya is paying a visit of days to his Chimandega ON TOP IN ONLY SOUTH GIVEN AFRICA TIME. IF He Is Organizing Enough Rough Riders to Keep the Boers Constantly on the Move. The action floated in the court. The Toronto firm did not put in an appearance, and judgment went against them by default. Today judge McDougall refused to grant a motion to have the judgment enforced. The judgment of the British Columbia court, he declared, has no force in Ontario, and could not have unless the defendant had gone to Rossland in answer to the writ. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION London, .Tanuary 12, 4:50 a. m.��� It is understood that lord Kitchener now holds securely all the railroad lines in South Africa, having recovered possession of the Delagoa -Bay line, which had been cut since January 7fch. According to the Pretoria correspondent of the Daily Mail, lord Kitchener is now organizing a force of 30,000 irregular rough riders, which will occupy some weeks. When this force is ready he will resume offensive operations. Meanwhile" the invasion of Cape Colony looks more threatening. The news that commandant Hert- . zog has two guns is rather startling, as ifc was formerly asserted that the invaders had no guns. . The defences of Cape Town," including two 4.7 naval guns, are now completed, and the recruiting of volunteers is active throughout the' colony, According to dispatches to the Daily Express, the admiral, of the. Cape fleet is to prepare in an emergency to land a naval brigade of 2800 men, with six hotchkiss guns.* A Murraysburg telegram this morning says the' Dutch there received the British troops sullenly, and ifc reports that there are rumors of the colonial "rebels of the neighborhood joiningithejinvaders. A Pretoria correspondent of rthe Morning Post wires that members -of the burghers' "peace committee, who. had been.-interviewed, confessed that there was no hope of many burghers surrendering. London, January 11.���Earl Rob- ei'Jb^*lia.-*^Jbeej��^^ . at; tlie War/.officer lindMfc "is; believed reinforcements will be.ordered on a large scale for the mor.il effect in convincingv Kruger and the Boers in the field that resistance is futile and that lord Kitchener's overtures should be aocepted. The rapidity with which the details of the favorable military operations at Mag- aliesburg are received excites the suspicion that affairs are not going equall y well iu other quarters whence no authentic news can be obtained. General French's cavalry division has again butmaneuvered and defeated Delarey, and possibly has driven his force from the Wit- watfirsrand district, although this is not quite clear from the dispatches. The mountain strongholds are less important to the Boers than formerly, since they are making little use of artillery, and are depending almost entirely on their rifles and horses. General French apparently has the body of mounted men requisite for the hot pursuit of Delarey's burghers, but they will probably divide and break up into small bands. The Conservative Leadership. Toronto, January 11.���-Sir Charles Tupper in the course of an interview here, respecting the Conservative leadership, said: "I see it is stated that ifc is an open secret that I am in favor of sir Hibbert Tupper being selected as leader for the Conservative party. There is no foundation for the statement," continued sir Charles. "I have invariably refused to give any intimation or offer any advice on the question of the leadership. I prefer to leave ifc entirely with the party. So far as sir Hibbert is concerned, if he were offered the leadership and asked . iny advice, I would strongly urge him not to accept it. I feel that his .professional position would not warrant him in making the enormous sacrifice which would be required." Disallowance Talked Of. Ottawa, j'January 11.���It is reported on good authority that the federal government will disallow the British Columbia act which affects the immigration of Chinese and Japanese from tho Orient into that province.

MERCANTILE INTERESTS ARE Consolidated at Greenwood. Greenwood, January 11.���[Special to The Tribune.]���The consolidation of the interests of three mercantile firms was successfully accomplished this morning, and articles of incorporation of the Russell - La w - Caul field Com pany, Limited, have-been forwarded to Victoria for registration. The new concern has a capital of $100,000. The. company has acquired three lots on Copper street, and in the spring will erect a substantial two- story brick block with a frontage of 75 feet and a depth of 100 feet, but it will be modern in every particular, suitable for the carrying on of a wholesale and retail business in - dry goods, hardware," and' groceries.

The demand for coal is in excess of the supply, and local dealers are hard pressed to keep their customers going. The difficulty with regard to Lefchbridge coal lies with the transportation people, who do not seem able to lurnish sufficient cars. The Crow's Nest product is also scarce, because of a break-down of the plant at the mine. The scarcity of the black diamonds is said to be c.insing the Nelson and Trail smelters some anxiety.

II is fair -olajr to honestly and man-' fully criticize tho public acts cf John Shaw, but was it honest or decent on the part of The Mail or The News to turn upon and rend the man who was brought into the field by the desire of The Mail and'News to.beat mayor Macdonald or .

It'is not enough that The Mail or News should destroy John Shaw'- hopci of election lo the mayoralty; they must also take' away the character of the man as an individual worthy of esteem in private life. The above is from the Toronto Telegram, and shows that Toronto and Nelsou have the same kind of politicians, who are in turn supported by tlie same kind of newspapers as The Mail and The News are described to be by The Telegram. In Nelson a worthy citizen was induced, to consent to make the race for may_r by promises of support from politicians, and the promises of support from the politicians were followed by fulsome praise of tho candidate in a newspaper that is used as a mouthpiece by these politicians. All their promises and tho fulsome praise was followed by what The Telegram describes as ''infamous, cold-blooded treachery." The Mail and The News up to tho day before election supported .John Shaw for mayor of Toronto, and on the last day th��*ew him down and supported Howland, who was elected. ji' .j II' '\ A number of small towns, like Slocan City and Ymir, are talking "incorporation." All the revenue thafc the people of these towns now pay goes into the provincial treasury, and the people claim that very lifctleof ifcis re-expended in the towns. The claim is true; biifc it is doubtful if incorporation is a remedy for the evil complained of. Once a town is incorporated, the bulk of the revenue collected seems to be frittered away in expenditures that are of listle real benefit. It is easy to spend money derived from the sale of debentures; but it is hard to raise money year after year to pay the interest and sinking fund charges on such indebtedness. The Tribune is of opinion that the small fowns, instead of incorporating, should be allowed the right" to be designated as villages, with a board of three'elected or: appointed, trus-. tees, the board of trustees to have .authority to expend the amount of revenue actually collected within the limits of the village by the pro- vineialauthorities from such sources of revenue as real estate taxes and licenses. Were this done,' the money would, to a great extent, go towards making, public improvements that, would be actually necessary. Revelstoke, which is a good- sized and good:appearing town, has been incorporated as a city for two or three years. Last year its actual cash receipts from real ' estate, licenses, police court fines, ro��ad and- dog ta"xes,~"and~airmiscellaneous~sources*" were $11,225.02.- The expenditures for the year were over $19,200, distributed as follows: ' Firo brigade .. .$3,913 01 Fuel and light.... 1,077 20 Printing, postige;and telegrams .361 58 Pellce department..'.':��� 2,G0S 65: Yesterdjiy's Mining Records.

Apparently, the only thing Revelstoke has to show for the expenditures it made last year is what was spent on roads and streets, which is a sum less by $1500 than the sum realized from the sale of debentures.

I. havo served as alderman two years of the four during which tha city has boon conducting its own affairs, and my record while in the council on tho questions that are now tho most important issues beforo tho peop'o of the city is such as will, bear inspection. " 1 believe that the city has valuable as3sts in tho water and electric light systems, and while in the council I did everything possible to safeguard these asset*; and if elected mayor no act or vote of mine will bo in favor of allowiug any ,outside corporate interest to become a competitor with ilncity in the business of electric lighting, a business in which the city has already invested 570,000. While in the council in 1897,1 voted in favor of incorporating a fair wage clause in all contracts, and that principle was carried out in both letter and spirit. I see no reason to change my views on that question now. And I believe, further, that with competent foremen and superintendence that tho city can get as good value for tlie money spent by having tho greatbulk of its work done by day's labor as by the contract system, and no good reason can bo advanced why the city should, not pay the same rale of wages and work men the same number of hours as prevails in private enterprises. lam in favor of giving the businc3i and property interests evory safeguard possible, and t o that end I believe tho flro department should bo made as efficient as possible, consistent wl'h the revenues of tho ci!y. Nelson should be kept in advance ofilsiivals, and everything possible must be done to induce.manufacturing enterprisoi to locate'here, for it is the payrolls that build up the cities of today. Nelson, a western city, is as orderly and law abiding as pastern cities. This is because the people of Nelson aro toloi ant. I believe thnt this spirit of tolera'ion should bo continued, and 1 will if eleated mayor do no" act to abridgo or curtail the rights or privileges of ono class of our citizens merely because another class may have different views. The ci'y has mado a start in permanent street improvements, and I am in favor of continuing these improvements as fast as possible, with due regard lo the revenues of the city. if elected mayor, I am in a position and will pledge myself to devote my time to the conluct of the city's buxiues:!.

It is not likely that the lake will freeze over at Nelson. The ice as far as it extends out from the banks is thin, and a little wind will break it up so that ifc will float with the current.

Lord Eoberts' Service. _. ," New Yo'rk'Tribune':"*' - Despite jthe fafct thai' the'Boer war was and is' with 'a third' rate power, our London correspondent did not exaggerate 'the case when he said tlie. other day that lord Roberts went outrto Africa a year ago to protect .the British empire from the greatest.danger that had menaced it since Yorktown. We need not except even the menace which Nelson destroyed at Trafalgar. To vindicate this view of the case we have to I'ecall only the circumstances of the outbreak of the Boer war. The two Boer states had leagued themselves together, not merely for. defence' against British aggression, but, as their "leaders��� frankly���declared-*���and- boasted, to drive the British out of South Africa .and to make <Cape Cojony, Natal and all the continent south of the Zambesi aiPutuh^confederation. It was. widely, declared, and memories of the German emperor's dispatch on the Jameson raid gave apparent color to it, that Germany, France, Russia and other continental powers were in sympathy with the Boers and might probably array* themselves on their side for spoliation of the "modern Carthage." It' was, moreover, perfectly apparent that if Great.Britain showed herself unable, to hold her colonies in South Africa the bonds uniting her with other and greater colonies would quickly be loosened or wholly broken. In the last three months of 1899 it was not only the rights of the Outlanders, but British possession of Cape Colony, of Australia and of Canada���in fact, the existence of the 'British empire���-that Y was at stake. That was the situation a year ago- It was increasingly ominous down to the date of lord Roberts' arrival upon-the scene. Then, with astonishing celerity, the situation changed. The .tide of battle was rolled back.' : Beleaguered towns were relieved. Boer armies were vanquished and captured. The British flftg was Taised over the Boer capitals. The powers of continental Europe ; discovered that they had, after all, no interest in the matter. And the British colonies around the world were bound to the mother country with ties of blood, shed in a common imperial cause, more potent than ever before existed. That was the service which lord Roberts performed for the British empire. , .~_m _E_E. "B~__r:E3:R,s s- CO. DSTElXaSO-Sr _r__.sxaO s_a_*r>T3DO"_<r STOVES! STOVES! STOVES!
