ROSSLAND EVENING RECORD, SEPTEMBER 12 1900

THEIR VISIT ENDS

Lord and Lady Miato Take Their De-
parture.

DELIGHTFUL IMPRESSIONS

Interesting Visit to the Mines with a Trip

in i =

Banquet with Songs, Toasts and Cheers
Last Evening.

The special vice-regal train con-
veying Lord and Lady Minto and
the members of their party left
about 11 o'clock this morning, the

Nelson. The party was accom-
panied to the station by a number
of prominent ladies and gentlemen.
Expressions ot regret were heard
alike from hosts and guests as the
hour of parting approached. There
is every reason to believe that Lord
and Lady Minto thoroughly enjoyed
their visit to Rossland. That the
community has enjoyed it goes
without saying. The result cannot
fail to be beneficial in the closer ac-
quaintance brought about with the
head of government in the Domin-
ion and in this personal knowledge
he has gained of the mining, indus-
trial and other local interests of
Rossland and of British Columbia
in general.

‘The community is under obliga-
tions to the ladies and gentlemen
serving on the various committees,
andto W. Wyllie Johnston, the
honorary secretary, to whom the
success of the program is largely
due.

The remainder of yesterday’s pro-
gram was carried out well, afford-
ing enough diversity to keep the
Zz visitors pleasantly busy without

: fatiguing them. The visit to the
mines seemed to be thoroughly en-
joyed by every member of the party.

iM At the Centre Star the party, clad
; in regulation mining costume, de-
scended to the 400-foot level, were
shown the stope between the 300
and 200-foot levels, the method of
timbering and of extracting the ore.
They also examined the compressor,
in which they seemed much _ inter-
ested, Several photographs of the
party were taken. Lady Minto was
5 presented with the costume provid-
; ed for her as a souvenir of her visit.
a The party was then driven up the
4 hill past the War Eagle boarding
! house and to the head works,
t After the luncheon provided by
i Edwin Durant on behalf of .the B
i A, C. directors, the party visited
the mines of that company under
> the escort of J. M. Long, superin-
tendent of the Le Roi.

b The banquet arranged at the
zg Hotel Kootenay last evening wasa
i thoroughly enjoyable affair. The
{ room and table were artistically
decorated with flowers and bunting,
while from the ceiling long stream-
ers of ribbons in the national colcrs
were gracefully drooped. In the
ante-room was hung a_ splendid
Scottish standard, loaned for the
occasion by T. S. Gilmour. The
menu was an elaborate and ele-
gant one, comprising eight full
courses set off by the best of wines
and liquors and finished by the tra-
grance of choice cigars.

At the close of the banquet Mayor
Goodeve proposed the health of
Her Majesty the Queen and the na-
tional anthém was sung. The
mayor also proposed a toxst to the
guest of honor, paying him a high
tribute and reviewing briefly the re-
sources of Rossland. Three ring-
ing cheers greeted the toast. Lord
Minto made an appropriate reply,
adverting pleasantly to the time
H when he had marched through the
| Selkirks before Rossland existed
and when the city of Vancouver
was just begun. He spoke ylow-
ingly of Rossland, dwelling especi-
ally on its mining interests, and ex-
pressing the hope of ng these
entirely in Canadian hands. His
entire speech was in excellent taste
and was received with marked en-
thusiasm.

In e with the

journey eastward being by way of

‘one of that. name familiar to thi

25

presented the Humane Society med-
alto Dr. Hoyes of Trail. Col.
Topping pronounced a eulogy on
Mr. Joh who was

with Dr. Hoyes in his life-saving
service, but was unable to attend
the banquet. The banqueters sang
“For He's a Jolly Good Fellow,”
and three cheers were given for
Dr. Hoyes. Frank Oliver then sang
“First in the Field,” and as an en-
core ‘Long Ago.” W. T. Oliver
and W. J. Nelson responded to
toasts on ‘‘Canada;” Gov. Mackin-
tosh and Dr. Bowes, ‘‘The Army,
Navy and Volunteers;" Alexander
Dick, ‘‘Mining and Smelting;” E,
Kirby, ‘‘A Prophecy,” J. B. Hast-
ings, ‘‘Equipment of the Mines;”
C. 0. Lalonde, J, S. Clute and
Hector McRae, ‘Our City;” A. J.
MeMillan and J. B, Kerr, ‘‘The
Press; Edwin Durant, ‘The B. A.
Cc.”

The health of the Countess of
Minto was proposed and, with the
singing of ‘Auld Lang Syne” and
three cheers for the Earl of Minto
and the national anthem, the ban-
quet ended,

STOGKS ADVANCE

Te Roi Shares Rapidly and Steadily
Going Up.

CAUSES OF THE MOVEMENT

No Fictitious Boom or Speculative Element,
but a Steady Demand Based on Sound Busi-
ness Reasons and Knowledge of the
Property.

Nothing is attracting more atten-
tion in mining circles just now than
the marked advance which has
taken place and is sure to continue
in local stocks. The Recorp has
already had occasion to comment on
this, but the upward tendency is
even more noteworthy today, while
the market is strong at the prices
quoted. In all this there is nune of
the boom or speculative element, but
a steady and normal demand based
on sound and sufficient reasons,

For instance, last week Le Ro
shares were quoted at £6 16s 9d.
Last Monday they were quoted at
47 7S, and on Tuesday at £7 18s,
while this morning they were quot-
ed at £8 3s, and the market is re-
ported strong at that,

Other Rossland stocks are also
going up. A fortnight ago Atha
basca was bought by. a local firm at
4138. Monday the same firm
sold at £1 11s, Other stocks are
also firm and advancing,

TDiscussing the advance in Le Roi
a well known broker said today to
a reporter for the Recogp:

“*I think the advance in stocks is
due to the fact that people are find-
ing out what isin the Le Roi and
other mines here. The great ore
bodies in sight justify such an ad-
vance. In addition the meeting of
the Le Roi directors, which was
postponed some time ago, is now
close at hand, and a dividend is sure
to be declared.”

A LIGHTED MATCH.

Thrown into = Waste Basket Brings
@ut the Fire Department.

A small blaze’ that might easily
have b a =
tion occurred shortly . after one
o’clock this afternoon in the office of
George Purgold on the second floor
of the Wallace block, Columbia
avenue. It appears that someone
had carelessly thrown a lighted
match in a waste basket full of pa-
pers, and it promptly ignited.
Smoke was seen coming from the
window and Mr. Wallace, accompa-
nied by one or two others, promptly
rushed to the scene of danger and
by the liberal use of water put out
the fire - without further damage
than a spoiled waste basket .and a
wet carpet.

The fire department turned out
promptly but all danger was over
when they arrived,

A brisk breeze -was. blowing at
the time and but for the prompt dis-
covery and aid, ‘a destructive fire
would probably have resulted.

Galveston, Tex.,; Sept. 8.—(Via

Houston, midnight). Efforts were

made this afternoon to pick up the
dead bodies that floated in with the
tide, after having once been cast in-
to the sea,. This was awful work
and few men were found with nerves
to continue the work more than 30
minutes at atime. All the bodies
were badly decomposed and swoll-
en to enormous proportions, and of
so dark a hue that it is “impossible
to tell, except by the hair, when any
hair is, visible, whether they are
those of ‘whites or blacks. :

Every effort is being mad

but such cases were rare, nearly all
of these who came in having suffer-
ed loss of one or more members of
their family Never were there so

DANGER FROM
BAD WATER

Impurities in Wells Are
a Fruitful Source of
Typhoid.

It behooves householders and ter-
ants just now to be specially careful
as to the drinking water used. Sev-
eral new cases of typhoid have ap-
appeared within the last day or two
and in every instance the disease
appears to be traceable to the use
of impure water,

One af the worst sources of this
water is the wells, scattered in var-
ious parts of the city.

The health authorities are doing
as much as they deem practicable in
closing upsuch wells, but in many
instances the closing up would cut
off b of families from an
