GOOD WORD FOR ROSSLAND.

Marcus Moses, the Brewer, Tells Them all
About it in Seattle.

According to Marcus Moses, a citizen
of Rossland, that district is again on the
eve of a period of great activity and de-
velopment, says the Seattle P.I. Mr.
Mores is a brewer at Rossland and his
faith in the future of the town and of
the district is firmly established.

“More money from Canadian and
English syndicates has been invested in
Rossland mining properties in the past
months than during three years before,”
he said at the Butler yesterday. ‘The
Great Western mine, which is situated
right in the town of Rossland, was sold
recently to a British syndicate for $75,-
000. A deal is now pending for the
Josie. English capital is taking bold of
the legitimste mining ventures. The
Canadian Pacific is soon to enter Roes-
land and a smelter will be built at Rob-
son, thirty miles from Rossland, which
will be able to handle the low grade ores
running as low as $7 a ton and make a
profit at it.”

BOARD Ot TRADE MEETING

Action Taken to Induce the Provinctal

THAT WAGON ROAD DISCUSSED

Two Routes are Mentioned and Tram-
way Suggested to the
Government.

The board of trade last evening unani-
mouely agreed that a snow road to the
Boundary creek district was an utter im-

ibility. The i 8 report
favoring a permanent road was received
more favorably, although there were
many objections, some of which were
overcome when it was shown that the
government owed it to Rossland to ad-
vance money for roads, and that it
would be no more than right to get all
the money possible from the government
for such purposes.
A. ©. Galt, chairman of the committee
‘appointed to investigate the Com panies’

many vicious features which menaced
