This office and the citizens of this vicinity sre constuntly re- ceiving inqui::cs concerning thie section of the vountry which are difficult to answer by letter, so the Recorp gives the following in- formation for tho benefit of all: Rossland is situated in British Columbia, eight miles from the international boundary line’ be- tween Canada and the United States. It is reached from the north via the Canadian Pacific to‘ Arrowhead, on the river; from there to Trail by steamer, and from Trail to Ross- land by the Columbia & Westero railway.

Rossland Miners’ Union No. 88, W, F. M., meets in Masonic hall every pecting and staking p Many are here simply looking on in wonderment. We believe it will goon and on until Rossland can boast a population of 50,000. After that it will probably settle down to a proposition of a pay roll, but not for four or five’ ears. There are millions of money here from all sections of the globe; but the principal investors are from the United States, with Canada largely interested. The history of the camp reads like a fairy tale, and the fabulous riches ere scarcely excelled by the imaginary “King Solomon's Mines.” We will not attempt to discuss the mines ina single article, as we have been writing about them for nearly two years and have not been able to keep up with them, The ore shipments speak for themselves, The town has won an enviable reputation for law and order, It is supplied with waterworks and electric lights. The main street is graded and ten blocks are built up with two and three-story busi- ness houses. For further information come and see for yourself, or subscribe for the Dairy or WEEKLY ReEcorpD.. gg at 7:00. All mem- bers of the union are cordially invited to attend. ‘Tuomas CuEeery, Pres.. W.
