THE MAYORALTY.

The Miner’s ‘many old timers”
of Rossland who have invited Gov-
ernor McIntosh to be a candidate
for firat mayor of the city had as
well waited until the incorporation
act beeomes a law, and see whether
or not the Govervor will be eligible
to hold that office. The bill will
probably require the first mayor of
Rossland to have been a registered
property holder in Rossland and a
resident for at least three months
before’election. We feel sure that
that Governor McIntosh does not
want to be made». monkey of by
expressing a willingness to be
mayor when the chances are
against him being eligible to the
office. Again its ems a little odd
for “nearly all the old timers” upon
learning that‘a stranger is in town,
to rush after and tear his clothes
off pulling him into the mayoralty

- chair. The Recoxp would not be
understood as finding any fault
with Mr. McIntosh or depreciating
his ability and sylendid qualifica-
tiuns to be Rossland’s first mayor.
Granting all this to be true, he
would show bad taste in seeking
the office immediately upon his
arrival in town, and no. better
could be said of his friends who
take this opportune time to mention
his name in conncction with this or
any other office. We do not be-
lieve that Rosslard bas grown from
a half dozen houses to a town of
7,000 people, within two years,
without having plonty of mayoralty
material. With all due respect to
Governor McIntosh, the Rxcorp
would favor some man who has
put his shoulder to the wheel and
assisted in making Rossland what
she is today.

HAWKS THAT MAKE TROUBLE.

Trouble to the right of us, trouble
tothe left of us, etc, While the
“squatters” and Corbin have been
at it,and Corbin and the Paris
Belle peeple have been fighting,
peace has reigned on the west eud
of town. Because no notice has
‘been taken of the land adjoining
the townsite on the west, Corbin
has been quietly claiming that
there was no dispute about the title
of that portion of land claimed by
his and has thereby in-
dnced sume persons to buy lots of
him.

Yesterday - the owners of the
Derby mining claim thanked one

WEST KOOTENAY’S PROGRESS.

A sure indication of the growth
of the west Kootenay district is to
be found in the great increaye in
the revenue contributed to the
provincial treasury during the year
as shown by the public accounts
for the fiscal year ending June 30,
1896. West Kootenay has made
a larger increase in the revenue
than any other district in the prov-
ince, it having contributed more
than one-eighth of the revenue of
the whole province. In fact it
doubled the t of its r 7
having increased it from sixty-
odd thousand dollars to $122,904.
Itis worthy of notice that the
fiscal year closed June 30, 1896,

article headed,
Are Not Sold:”

“A great many of those who have
mines to sell in’ this country claim
that itis not true that there is much
capital seeking investment in that
direction; Yet there ia a demand for
all the mines that are offered in proper’
shape and at reasonable prices. The
great trouble with. those who. have
mines to sell—both owners snd pro-
moters—is_that they do not. hive
their properties opened up to show
whether they ars of real value or not;
or, if théy do,.do not have them prop-
erly examined and sampled so as to
give prospective. purchasers ‘some
-guarantee that they. are more-than|
mere prospects. This ie sepecjally
noticeable in California, where as
much is often asked for @ prospect as
for a developed mine, simply becduse
the prospect is well located. They do
not sppreciate the fact that mining is
being conducted on a more business-
like basis than it was a decade ago.
