Robert Scott, the People’s candi- date for mayor, was born in Galt, Ont., August 22, 1841, when he received a common school education. He was apprenticed in a tin shop. After learing his trade he struck out for himself a enniless boy and went to the United States at the age of 18, when he worked at his trade in New York and other cities in the east. By industry and frugal habits he saved some money, and in 1862 returned to the place of his birth, and the following year opened a tin shop, and in a small way carried stoves and ;house furnishing hardware. He conducted this business for ten years, when he bought the Victoria Wheel Works, which fe has built up, until to- day they are the largest. and best equip manufactury of the kind in Canada. There are now 50 men em- ployed. . Five years ago he purchased a flouring mill at ‘Galt, which he now ownes and 18 running. 5 Those. in Rossland, who know him intimately say he always paid the best wages going, and was kind and con- siderate of his men. . . ‘Mr. Scott linked his fortune with Rossland in ;August, 1896. For over eight months he has lived among us. and has confirmed the good name he brought here with him. He_ was so bly imp d with land ari the mineral regources of this section that he at once invested in town property and the mines. He is president of three minin; in nown as any 0 ’ be.one of the first city fathers. HORACE J, RAYMER.

He ig a married man and has an interesting family, his wife being one of the first ladies of Rossland. ‘There can be no question about Mr. Fraser being a personal favorite here and no one but the editor of the morn- ing paper has any doubt but ‘he will be elected one ot Rossland’s first aldermen, and there can be no danger but that he will make a capable and honést servant of the people. THOMAS WILLIAM STACK. Thomas W. Stack, who is (a Candidate for alderman, was born in Wellington, Ontario, October 12, 1860, where he lived until he was 26 years old. He learned the carpenter trade . and worked at.it at home until 1885, when he went to the states. He worked at different places and drifted west and spent several years in Arizona. He, however, never forgot to love the land of his birth, and May 1, 1894 he landed in Rossland with nothing but his strong arm and manly determina- tion to make his way in the world. Pp an some dozen different pro) erties. He has already put, $20,000 in ossland and He d himeclf with Chris. Me- Donnell, in the hotel business. He and his partner have outfitted the mines in this immediate locality. | He was for nine’ years in the city council at Galt and served that city as mayor three consecitive terms. Although 56 years old, he is active and vigorous, and is made of the right kind of stuff for the first mayor of Rossland. WILLIAM ALEXANDER CAMPBELL, William Alexander | Campbell, a candidate for alderman, is 33 years old, and was born near Lindsay, Ont. He was educated for a teacher and followed his chosen profession for several years und looks back with pride upon the time thus spent. He has done more or less newspaper work and has become 8 man of affiars. . He came to Rossland a year ago. this month and engaged in mining and the brokerage business. He has cessful and made numerous prospectors, and bought small interests in mining properties as their means would allow and have thereby made considerable money. ‘Mr. Stack has.a warm heart anda nerous nature, a8 many & miner in the (Kootenays will testify. He being a laboring man himself, has always been their friend, and it is doubtful if there is one who is acquaint with him, and has a vote who will not only cast it for him, but will work hard for his elec- tion. ‘Mr. Stack was married in Rossland on the 23rd of April last and is a fixture here. Allhe has in the world is here. He was among the very first to recognize in Rossland, and the mines around here, the merits now acknowledged. Mr. Stack has no apology to offer for the nature of his business, and as it is , teed. bY le for himself and his associates. | Mr. Campbell has won for himself the esteem and respect of all who had any business dealings with him here. | He has been foremost in every enterprise of a public nature and interest to Rossland. He has taken an active part in the pro- viding of the town with fire protection and lent his labor and influence _ towai the organization of the board of trade, stock and the incorp: of Rossland. Tt will be a compliment well deserved to elect Mr. Campbell as one of the first aldermen of Rossland during his ab- sence, and there can be but little doubt of it being done. HECTOR MCPHERSON. Hector McPhereon a nominee for alder- man, was born near West St‘ Thomas, Ont.. on _ November 30th, 1863, an therefore 34 years of ae: m He re lucation | an is ceived a Common school i at the age of nineteen went to Winni- peg_ where he remained for one year, working at whatever he could get to do. His ambition forbade him being, content with days work and as the Canadian Pacific railway was built west he followed it, taking such contracts as he could carry out and thereby. made money. He bought a farm near Brandon, which - | he now owns. Hearing of the wonders of Rossland a year ago he came here, where he re- mained constantly, with the exception of returning to Brandon last fall to over- see the harvesting of his crops. . Mr. McPherson has exhibited his faith in Rossland and the mines by put- ting in about $12.000 cash. . He is a hail, robust, active business man and would do honor to the city, of | Rossland by becoming one of her first llermer. JOHN B, JOHNSON, Aman who all concede will be elected alderman of Rossland on next Wednes- day, is 37 years old, and was born in London, Ont., on the 28th day of July, 1860. He received a good education in the public schools of London, where he lived until 1885. He then went to Na- naimo, B. C., where he engaged in the » business. ars after, when the state of z ing, Mr. Johnson 7 Vv was like many other Canadians, went there. He located at Hamilton and made con- siderable money in the real estate busi- ness, but went down with the boom, He came to Rossland in August,1895, and can therefore be regarded as among *lthe magic city’s first friends. Since residing here he has engaged in the min- ing brokerage and real estate business, and while he has not, become rich, he has made an honest living and has no reason to complain. ‘Mr. Johnson is as well and favorably a ae tee - io the law, and as more capital and more business men are en- ed in it in Rossland than any other, there is no reason to believe that he will suffer at the polls on.account of it. THE PARKER GROUP. Shaft Is Now Down Seventy-Five Feet in Good Ore. The Parker Group is situated on Bear Creck, about two miles from Quartz. The shaft is now down about seventy- five feet and is giving employment to eight men. The ore at this depth is of a very fine quality, and in all probabil- ity when once they get in machinery so that work can advance more rapidly it will) prove a paying proposi- tion. At present the ore is drawn up by hand and this proves to be a very slow process of working at that depth. T. F. Trask, who has charge of the works, says: ‘‘We have an al undance of ore and as soon as we are down 100 feet we will make a cross-cut so as to find out an estimate as to the amount of ore to be had.” It is his opinion that it is a very valuable property.—Salmon River Review. —__——_ CALIFORNIA CAPITAL.

Ernest Miller and A. H. McNeill, host of citizens on foot bearing lighted brooms that were i es nounced the election of Robert Scott, he | 9 S| satisfied that if elected as d Mr. Scott’s 1 as & mayor and member of the town council. Mr. Scott’s record in municipal matters in Galt is one to which he can point with pride. He server as ward councillor in 1873, 1874, and 1875. in 1876 he was advanced to the position of deputy reeve and also held this sition in 1877. In 1878 he waselected to the reeveship and held this for three years, or until 1881, He then retired ior atime, but in 1885 became mayor and was re-elected in 1886 and 1887, thus enjoying the distinction of bein the only man who has been mayor o! our town three consecutive years. He was also reeve during 1892. Mr. Scott's experience in municipal matters ig therefore large. As to his ability I don’t think anyone can call this in question, and Ihave heard the statement made n D citizens that the affairs Be the town were never better administered than when Mr. Scott was mayor; also that law and order were never more rigidly mnaintained. Mr. Scott, with his son J. H. Scott, owns the Victoria Wheel Works, one of our most prosperous manufacturing establishments, employing round about fifty men. — interested with his brothers in ownership of, the Dumfries Mill Sides having large interests estate, He has for years been a direc- tor of the Gore Insurance Company and a member of the Board of Trade and has actively and thoroughly identified him- self with all and any movements to ad- vance the interests of the town. He has been successful in his business ventures and enjoys the reputation of being one of the best business men ever in Galt, having the esteem and confidence of the citizens. T do not know that I can add anything more unless I say that I am_ perfectly mayor Mr. Scott will discharge the many and portant duties pertaining to the positiv.. with credit to himself and in a careful, business-like way that cannot fail to in- spire the confidence and respect of your citizens as well as be conducive to the s for torches, The dead march was played jn front of the Miner _ office. When the procession reached The Recorp office the carriage bear- ing Colonel Scott and his friends halted for several minutes, and the host of citizens waved their flaming brooms while cheer after cheer of Colonel Scott and the Recorp were iven. Theband played a serenade and the procession marched to the Windsor hotel where speeches were made rom, the balcony of the hotel. Colonel Scott made an eloquent speech and was cheered to the — echo.
