THE HOTEL CORRIDOR.

That appearances are sometimes de-
ceptive isa homily asold as the hills,
yet, like all old saws, it’contains a germ
oftruth. Acase inhand is J. H. Sus-
mann, the C. P. R. mining expert, who
at a cursory glance, seems unfitted for
rigid toil, yet he is an indefatigable
worker and has just completed an ex-
haustive survey of the mines and geolog-
ical iti Rossland,
in @ space of time that would tax the
ability ofa man with aniron conatitu-
tion.

Mr. Susmann was eeen in the Holel
Allan corridors by a Recorp man last
evening, but did not degire to talk for
publication, for ashe sayé himeelf, his
opinions are reserved for his employers.
It is when talking to the expert that
some idea may be gainell of the grim,
determined energy of the man by the
play of his features.

Mr. Susmann had completed his re-
port about the Rossland district and
sent it in some timeago. Although he

WORK TO BE PUSHED YIGOROUSLY

Gov,. C. H. Mackinosh Buys for the
British American Organ-

ization.

Some time ago an option was given
CO. H. Mackintosh on the Great Western
mine until the 5th day of this month.
It was afterwards extended to the 12th

the report, ‘some idea of its contents
may be gained when the fact of the C.
P. R.’s great hurry to reach RossJand is
considered. Judging by this the report
must have been most’ favorable tothe
camp, for it is safe to say had the report
been otherwise, the great company
would have been in‘ no hurry to reach
here. i

8. R. Reid, the veteran newspaper
man, who has deserted the muses to
follow the golden igna fatus that glim-
mers before the prospector, is in the
city from the Christina lake district,
where he is i: din some

and y the deal was closed. The
price being understood to be $100,000,
with $25,000 down and the balance in
January and February.

Mr. Macintosh has purchased the prop-
erty for his company, the British Amer-
ican Corporation, which has a capital
stock of $7,500,000, one half of which has
already been paidin. The governor says
his company.is acquiring mining prop-
erty for the purpose of working it, so the
Great Western will no doubt be develop-
ed with energy and ina systematic man-
ner. This property lies-within the cor-
porate limits of Rossland and has al-

oceupy the boxes with male
atihough tirae and again the officials
have warned the house against such
action. It is not an unfrequent sight to
see the boys in the public hall drinking
beer and we suppose any thing else they
might desire.’ These things are not in
accordance with the general understand-
ing as to how this place was to be run,
when it was licensed, and is no doubt
much yorse than the public under-
stands.

‘The mayor and councilmen were

pledged before election against such
places and we understand will be more
forcible in their demands that it be
kept running withiu the bounds of de-
cency, or their licenae will be revoked.
Not long ince, a- formal dance was
given to a cditple of actresses and one of
them announced that no “decent woman
should attend,” .
Even though the girls are kept out of
the boxes as they have been at intervals
the men who wish to are permitted to
go into thé “blue room” and into ‘the
dressing rooms of the actresses and get
drank. This is only “whipping the
devil around the stump,” and is worse
than the box rustling business.
It is plainly the purpose of the pres-
ent proprietor to disregard the law and
tbe orders ofthe mayor to the utmost
extent possible, and avoid having his
house closed, which so farhe has suc-
ceeded in doing, but it is more than
likely he will be held to a strict account
as the law has been giyen him.

were evidence that the keen cutting in-

prospects. Mr. Reid is the man, who
found an immense boulder in the Chris-
tina lake district, which forms a link of
@ past generation from the fact that it
was covered with Indian characters.
These strange disigns were carved in
the rock and even the winds and rain
storms of ages had failed to entire'y
erase the colors with which they had
been prfnted.

There are those who hint darkly that
the fertile brain of Mr. Reid is reepon-
sible for the charactere. They say that
Mr. Reid as resourceful as King Solo-
men with his numerous wives, carved
‘and painted the rock himself in order to
have the district advertised.

When seen in the hotel Kootenay car-
riders, Mr. Reid said that Chrirtina lake
was rich in mineral and would prove a
valuable tributary to Rossland.

Now and again one comes across &
man whose experiences in the hands of
a Bret Harte, or other noted descriptive
writers, would form the subject matter
for a thrilling story that would enthrall
the ‘populace. In such instances truth
proves stranger than fiction. Such are
the experiences of J. A. Jacobs; who is
registered atthe Butte, and ‘who has
chaged the illusive will-o’-the-wisp, gold
over three continents. He was in Cali-
fornia ig 49; in the Black hills during

holders in the company which have sold,
are; J. B. Jones, Charles Barr, Charles
E. Warren and John M. Burke. They
also own the Weat Le Roi and Josie,
which is ramored to be under option to
the same company that bought the
Great Western, This is probably not
true as one of the stockholders stated
that the Great Western was being sold
in order to get money to work the Weat

ANOTHER MISTAKE CORRECTED
City May Repurchase Its Debentures at any
Time It Has the Money.

In an interview with Alderman Fra-
serof the finance committee, Mayor
Scott and City Solicitor McLeod it was
loday learned that the city may call in
its debentures any time it sees fit. Ald.
Raymer brought the matter up before
the council meeting last Tuesday even-
ing. Owing toa report in the Miner he
said the impression had gone abroad
that there was s provision in the agree-
ment which pr vided against .the city

been through a.1 the South Africa boom.

years.

The mayor proved that there was no
provision to that effect and furthermore
showed that there was a provincial law
which made it optional with a munici-

SHORT SKIRTS THE BEST.

Mrs. Lawrence Adds an Opinion About the
New Women Fashion.

Rossland, Nov. 17th, 1897.

Eprror Recorp:—With reference to
the short skirt controversy, I wish to re-
mark, the weather we are enduring at
present, isome of the strongest argu-
ment that can be offered in favor of
short skirts.

In fact there is no?comfort in return-
ing from a forced or otherwise outing,
with bedraggled skirts, and I ama warm
advocate of common ‘sense apparel of
comfort, which aids and adds materially
tothe comfort of our well being and to
the discharge of your duties.

I would suggest a three quarter skirt
and leather leggins, which can be made
to appear graceful, suitable and conduc-
ive to comfort and health.
