Mining WARNING FROM ALASKA, Those Who Seek Gold Dust But Have 7 y Away, aE April Fh. in eo hie the Yuhou, ives advise to thos ine the trip in seaieh of the elusive gold ©) careful examination of the crowd on the des kot ning stewniet Wil reveal the there ave Many amongst them who have no ides of the sof the journey that 3waite e their eyes rest upon the dise ath rebound, oWe have trom time to tin arned those who i ad toqmake the tip. that there was nothing to be gained by starte ing too carly, and it is with» knowledge of suffering it will entail if these sug- ge: s. given in gool fuith, are disre- garded, that at the risk of rep tition we will trav the matter actin. “At the present time the Yukon from its source to the Bering ix frozen up solid, for a «i as the ice must find an out river is sel ident proposition, that allowing time for the ice to travel down the river after it first breaks up the o| ng of navigation dates from the river breaks the experience nee! to build boats suitable for Yukon navigation arc estab- lished there. The outlit can be put on board, and then assisted by a current of from two to ten miles an hour the journey to the Klondike commences. “What will be the experience of those who have started now? This experi- ence is being obtained at this very mo- ment by a thousand men who are toil- ing over the trail from D; to Lake Linderman. As far as we can learn a large proportion of those who con from below, total strangers to the country, and some of whom have never known what it-is to cross a mountain range in the winter, have only taken supplies. to last for two or three months. “What position will these men find themselves in when travel over the ice becomes impossible, and they are com- pelled to suspend their journey until such time as the river is free from stush ice? In the first place the delay occs- sioned in crossing the summit will make great inroads in their slendor outtit, but this will not be a circumstance to the enforced idleness of several weeks when their mode of travel will be changed from a winter sled to a summer boat or raft. “How many of the men who are now on their way know anything at all about this? We venture to say that there are hundreds who think that they can go marching down the river to the Klon- dike on the ice, and be comfortably en- camped on some gold-bearing stream be- fore the winter breaks up. This is alla delusion, and if they had spent a little time in conversation with men here who have made the journey many times, both in winter and summer, thisiilugion would have been dispelled. “Then, again, what provision have they made for building boats or rafts? They cannot tell at what moment they may be compelled to abandon their sleds. When the Yukon commences to break up it breaks very quickly, and ex- perienced men who know the country, and who prefer to start carly over the ice, know just where they will make a camp during the interim betwen the closing of winter traffic and the opening of summer trafiic, By this we mexn that there are certain places on the river where good timber may be had, and it is such spots that these old-timers make for when they get over the summit.” —__ THE OBJECTION NOT GOOD. There are people who have v}jection to advertising matter in the reading col- umns ofa newspaper. The groind of objection is that thoy du not want to “Experience of the past few years proves that by about May 15 Jake Lin- derman, the fi lake across the sum- mit, is open for navigation.

Corner of First Avenue and St, Paul Street Selected, The city council di 1 in special ses- ny evening to build a) tem- porary city hall including a headquar- tors for the fire department. The site selected ison the corner of St. Paul street and First avenue, It is the i tention to construct buildings that will answer the present needs of the city and allow for additions which may be neces- sary in the future. No settlement has been made D. C, Corbin has offered to sell the site at a discount of 50 per cent but it is thought that better arrangements th that may be made. Nothing di will be, done toward purchasing the property in the absence of W. A. Cump- bell. The work of laying sidewalks and clearing the obstructions and opening Columbia avenue, Lincoln, Washington and St. Paul streets to the Columbia & Western depot has progressed rapidly during the week. There are about 60 men employed in various capacities and the expense will exceed $1,000 a week for the work now being accomplished. The timber on the hillside at the east end of Columbia avenue has been clear- ed and many of the pitfalls filled in. Considerable of the rock pile between Washington and Lincoln street on Columbia avenue has been blasted away. —>— - ART OF EMBALMING. New and Elaborate Undertaking Par- lors Opened In Rossland. Rossland has acquirred one of the finest undertaking establishments in the province, under the management of C. B. Lockhart. Mr. Lockhart is a gradu- ate of the New York college of embalm- ing at New York, U. 8. A. Undertak- ing, like all other professions, has been advanced wonderfully in the last few years, and to be able to keep up to the times requires a thorough college course as well as constant study and long ex- perience in the business. The art of em- balming has reached that stage where a professional embalmer can keep a de- ceased body as natural as life for months without any signs of decomposition or discoloration. The new undertaking parlors are situ- ated on Columbia in the . Lemon block, and are furnished elaborately. The office is in the front part of the store separated from the parlors by swinging curtains. Upon each side of the parlors are cabinets made of British Columbia cedar and finished in the natural wood highly polished. These cabinets are worked on hinges and are used as a re- ceptable for caskets, hiding from public view the slightest appearance of an old- time undertaking establishment, or to the dreaded appearance of any- thing resembling a casket or cof- fin. The parlors are separated from the trimming room by a partition furnished to match the cabinets there- by making a complete arrangement for conducting funerals from the parlors and owing to the space in dwelling at present in Rossland this. should prove a great convenience. The parlors are open day and night. At the present time all remains will be conveyed to the cemetary by an enclosed funeral car fitted up for the purpose. ° As soon as a proper cemetery has been selected and proper roads made Mr. Lockhart will bring to the city two of the finest hearses in the Dominion—one black, the other white. Orders will be promptly attended to day and night. Telegraphic communications will receive promp at- tention. Telephone No. 46. ——s ROSSLAND CAFE.

Description of Some of the Characters Coming to Rossland, at its heavy load, the hum of conversa- tion, banging of doors, and the low rumble of grinding wheels were unmis- takeable signs of the train being at last speeded towards the mecca of the north- west—the garden city of Rossland. The passengers were a study. From all parts of the earth were they gathered, drawn to acommon center by glowing air castles wherein were mirrored reflec- tions cf prosperity’ and wealth. Seated there was the grey-headed prospector who had chased the elusive golden _will- of-the-whisp around the world, and though he had met, with a thousand dis- appointments, lis face was still bright with eager anticipation of what might be in store for him among the mineral- streaked hills of Rossland. Others were there who had sifted the glittering sand from deserts underneath a burning sun, and who had with just as much sang froid transferred their fortunes to the land of cheerless twilight and. develed for gold among the rock-ribbed, ice-bound hills of the far north, Others there were again who had seen mountains of earth melt into nothingess before powerful streams of water directed by men in feverish quest ofthe shiney metal. There could be seen the old 49ers, cool, calm, deliberate, expectorating with sure aim, who had panned out gold with one hand and kept Indians at bay witha gun in the other. Most of those men had fingered fortunes in theirday. One and all had struck @ new scent and seemed to smell gold in the very air. Besides these gentlemen of fortunes many merchants and business men were onthetrain, all heading for the new Eldorado of the northwest, Although many of the were on is the bars. Richard Owen has just Leen placed in the Natural History Museum, South Kensington, facing the statue of Darwin. The funds for the statue were raised by public subscription. Why? Because, they said, the town was built far ahead of the development of the mines, that it was a soap bubble that may be expected to burst any min- therein, must lsugh when they hear such tales, How it {must tiekle the schrewd busi- ness man, who see brighter prospects ahead of Rossland than ever Denver hoped to have. The fact of the matter is that most of the “Kickers” were disappointed in not being able to pick up a fortune or prosper without working. Stpney D. Cuarzes. BIT A HOTEL CLERK. Savage. Fight in the Hotel Allan Bar Room This Morning. There was qn exciting time in the Hotel Allan bar room early this morn- ing when Clerk Bond, of the postoffice who had been drinking heavily and a miner raised such a disturbance that the night barkeeper and night clerk thought it advisable to induce them to leave the house. Bond, who was frenzied with excessive drinking took offense at the invitation to leave id. acted like a madman. During a which insued, he bit the night clerk and fought savagely.

Coming from ‘Trail on the narrow gauge, the train was so heavily loaded that the engine stopped now and then to catch its breath. This furnished the Irish- man with plenty of material for humor. “Phawt do you think of that,” he said after one of the sops, ‘I’d loike to know will they be after fastening a rope around a trace and pull the dom thing over like they did the boat.”” After the laughter subsided, a passenger remarked: ‘Better’ be care- ful Irish there’s a duty on witon this side.” This, silenced Pat for it was a well known fact to all the passengers that the custom officials took a gun away from him and charged him duty on several plugs of tobacco which he had ingeniously hidden in his satchel. The next day Rossland was “taken in.”. The writer was lead to believe, from outside reports, that the city was the roughest of rough mining camps, populated by, prospectors in uncouth gerb, courtesans strutting boldly strut- ting boldly about the streets, and gam- blers who furnished a funeral every night or so. Nothing could have been more inaccurate or exaggerated.

He failed in business, his wife resumed acting, and it occurred to him to try his own powers in that direction. After a few years of indifferent success he made a great hit, and fame and fortune were his reward. A NEW FIRM. Messers. Dabney & Parker today moved into their new offices in the Martin block, corner Columbia avenue and Washington street. Joseph B. Dabney is financial agent for the firm and has had large experience in mines and mining business in California and Montana. He is president of the North- west Land and Improvement company of Tacoma. J. L. Parker, the other member of the firm is a mining engineer of extensive experience in this camp and elsewhere. They are both géntlemen of integrity and good business ability.

OPPOSE THE ALIEN LAW A Unanimous Vote of the Ex- Change Against the Alicn Law. At the meeting of the Rossland Stock Exchange C. O’Brien’s motion to disin- corporate the exchange was tabled with- out argument by a vote of 21 to 16. It is said that had a vote been taken on the passage of the motion itself Mr. Reddin and his second would have been alone favoring it. It does not now appear that the firm of Reddin & Jackson will be able to brenk up the exchange as they have been reported as saying they wonld do. The exchange this morning took up the proposed alien law and without dis- cussion or dessenting voice yoted to in- struct the secretary to telegraph the legiglature at Victoria that the exchange opposed the passage of the bill, REDDIN A KICKER. Makes an Effort to Break Up the Stock Exchange. ine The Heddin-Jackeon company have given the following notice to the Ross- land Stock Exchange. “Rossland, April 30, 1897. the general meeting to be hel At Monday, May 3, aie a resolution held rO~ be i viding for the closing of the exchan for the disincorporation of this as = tion and for a distribution of assete.” This firm never has beena friend of the exchange, and did all they could to prevent it being organized. When they saw it was a go, they rushed in and had more to say than anyone. else, and it is openly charged that the boast. has been made that they only joined it to be en- Let this be as it may, their conduct has amounted to that threat. The above notice speaks for itself. For about a year this firm has had the exclusive right to quote the mining stocks of this camp in the Rossland Miner, and thereby have bad an ad- vantage over other brokers. They have had an opportunity to bull or bear the market to suit their own business. They would evidently like to return to that “sinch” proposition. Are the other brokers and mining men going to allow them to do it? It should be -hoped not. It is folly to attempt to avoid the quo- tation of stocks by suspending the oper- ations of the Rossland stock axchahge and particularly so while the Spokane exchange is running. Ifthe stockbrokers in Rossland are alive to their own interesta they will go forward with the exchange with or with- out C. O’Brien Reddin.

There is one thing sure, to close the exchange just now, would give _— the town and the camp a black eze, from which it would take a long time to recover. It is not fair to judge the future prospects of the Exchange by the past. We are just coming out of a long, hard winter— a winter which has covered the whole country with from four to ten feet of snow. The town has practically been shut off from the outside world by land- slides and washouts. Hundreds of car loads of freight have been tied up on the roaiin. Our merchants have been in- jur.d, and there is a general depression that will at once pass away now that spring has come. No, it is not right to judge the Exchange in the future by the past.
