Nearly opposite postoffice Western to the d aud Grand Forks, B.C. country have hardly had time to grow bright with the friction of the wheels, when the Miner begins to complain of the wickedness of the monopoly which the Canadian Pa- cific enjoys in that section by virtue of its being the first railroad com- pany to get there. It calls attention to the great traffic which the new railroad will enjoy and turns with hopeful heart to the prospect that a competing road will come in from the American side by the Ket- tle River valley to share this traffic. But the Miner has a grievance against the great monopoly—a per- rievauce of its owner, Mr. Heinze. It is that the C, P. R. will reap what Mr. Heinze had sown. It tells how he built the Rossland-Trail road, the smelter and che Trail-Robson extension and then made surveys into the Boun- dary country. Then came this “largest, wealthiest and ‘probably most unscrupulous corporation in the Dominion,” to use the Miner’s words, and bought the property of tiis ‘fone man of modest fortune.” It paid him in good coin of the realm for his railroad, his smelter and his survey, took up the work where he had left off and completed is. Having paid for it, this monop- oly naturaliy expects to reap the profits. To follow the Miner’s simile,it bought Mr. Heinze’s wheat field after it was sown and, having brought the crop to maturity, will It sent Mr. Heinze back to Butte with a “heart bowed down by excess of woe” at the sudden en- largement of that modest fortune. That fortune must have blushed at its own expansion! But no! The Miner says that was not the trouble with him, but that the sale of his plant prevented him from being the Cecil Rhodes of British Columbia. We can well believe it, for the C. P. R. no sooner got the plant out of the hands of the philanthro- pist from Butte, thereby stunting the growth of his Rhodesian for- tune, than it did a most inconsistent thing for a monopoly. It reduced the rates of freight and treatment on Rossland ore and, when it found that the work could be done still cheaper, it made a still further re- duction, What opportunity will there be for such men as Mr. Heinze to make fortunes if grasping monop- olies persist in reducing prices and allowing money to pour into the pockets of the rapacious mine own- ers which should, by all rules of common sense, have gene into the treasury of the railroads and smelt- ers? No wonder the Miner pro- sonal harvest it. tests. To come down to the question of a competing railroad, is it not rath- er early in the day to-talk about it? When the traffic returns of the Co- lumbia & Western have shown such a volume of business as to justify any tears on the blighted hopes of Mr. Heinze to ‘become the Cecil Rhodes of British Columbia, OF course we should have enjoyed hav- ing such a financial colossus among us, but if we must worry along with- out him, alas! we must; that is all. Perhaps Mr. Heinze can find conso- lation in P. A. O’Farrell’s long- winded articles, sounding his praises. LESSON OF MANITOBA. Now that the Conservatives have won so gloriously and decisively in Manitoba on strictly party lines, perhaps they will take courage to make a similar fight in this province. The Conservatives of the Prairie Province evidently sawthat Laurier’s success in the last federal election was the climax of a series of victor- jes in the several provinces where he made a fight on party lines and won it. Having captured the out- a conspiracy td massacre all the white people in Manila, Such con- duct proved that the Filipino insur- gents must be whipped until the last vestige of resistance disap- peared, It also destroyed the last claim the insurgents had to any con- sideration of their claims to inde- pend --B , the. pr set about whipping. them, the-antis accused him of wishing to treat the Filipinos as a conquered_nation and they read hidden meanirigs into all his public utterances on the sub- ject. For this reason, apparently, the president “gave them a dia- gram” of what degree of self- ‘overnment he would give the peo- ple and told how he would gradu- ally enlarge it as they gained .ex- perience. . This is a rather unusual thing in a president’s. message, but. the vicious lying and treason of the antis made it necessary. The re- mack has been aptly made that the message is an “admirable instance ot the art of saying nothing by, allocuting a great deal,” butthat re- mark certainly does not apply: to the passages relating to the Philip- pines. EDITORIAL NOTES. Politicians who steal their, oppo-; nents’ policy generally meet with defeat at the next election. Dis- raeli passed a franchise bill through the British parliament in 1867 and it was said that ‘the caught the Whigs bathing and stole their clothes.” He was overwhelmingly defeated in 1868. Peel’s conver- sion to free trade in 1846 was honest, but he did not last long afterwards. Laurier will find that neither protectionists nor free- traders like to see a man jump from the platform on which he was elected to that which the voters re- jected. In sneering at the Filipino leaders on account of their youth, the news- papers forget that the world’s great- eat 1 hieved posts, he was in a good p to attack the citadel of his opponents at Ottawa and he carried it. The Laurier’s generalship, while they detest the cause in which it is exer- cised, and they turned his tactics against himself. Their success is their best vindication. It now behooves the British Co- lumbia Conservatives to continue the campaign so well begun. Let them abandon the hybrid combina- tions for which no distinctive names can be found, and come into the field with a declared policy, distin- guished by a name which has a plain meaning to those who have watched the course of events in Canada since confederation. ‘The oppor- tunity to fight this battle cannot be far off, and itis none too early to marshal their forces. HE HAD TO SPEAK OUT. A noteworthy fact in regard to President McKinley’s message is that the only subject on which he becomes | argumentative, and the one on which he declared his policy most clearly, is the management of Philippine affairs. He stands by the acts of his officers in the treatment of the insurgents and he declared his policy in regard to the future government of the islands in such plain terms that the most rabid unti-expansionist can have no ex- cuse for misunderstanding him. He rejects the suggestions of indepen- dence or a protectorate and clearly lays down the principle that the Filipinos are mere children in the act of government and must be edu- cated up to the standard required for a self-governing people. This frankness was made neces- sary by the persistent misrepresen- tation of the antis and their yellow the construction of a peting railroad, it is fair to presume that one will be built if it can find a practicable route. If such a route cannot be found in Canada, no level-headed man will object to a road coming in from the American side. It will be time enough to be- gin denouncing the C. P. P. for op- ; posing such an enterprise when its charges are found excessive, its fa- ! cilities inadequate and its methods of opposition reprehensible. Meanwhile, we shall not waste i which had been sent to the United journal mouth » and by their imputation of evil motives and in- tentions to the president and his ‘fiends. They constantly reiterated that the president was animated by a desire for territorial aggrandize- ment and had bought the Filipinos from Spain as he would have bought cattle. They ignored the invitations States to help the Filipinos. “They ignored the tact that, after this help had been rendered, the Filipinos at- tacked the Americans and organized Manitoba Conservatives conceded }. g£ their most brilliant victories before they were 30 years old. The British-American society of Whatcom, Wash., has adopted an address to Secretary Chamberlain expressing sympathy with the mother country in the South African war.

This mine, which was a mere prospect four years ago, has a ledge which was crosscut in the upper workings and shown to be 185 feet wide. A shaft has been sunk 325 feet and at the 200-foot level a drift has been run 590 feet into the mountain, thus making the depth at the face about 400 feet.
