M. Kellie, member of the legisla- ture for the North Riding of the Weat Kootenay district, arrived in Rossland last evening and is registered at the Ho- tel Allan. Mr. Kellie has represented the North Riding for a long time, having been elected as an independent in June, 1890. At that time his constituency em- braced the whole of the West Kootenay district, but iu 1894 the district was di- vided into two ridings, north and south. In November, 1890, Hon. John Rob- son, then premier, appointed a board of commigsioners to revise and consolidate the mining Jaws of the province. J. M. Kellie, J. B. Wright, of Ainsworth; W. Wilson, of Victoria and George Conan, of Caribou; were appointed commission- ers. Judge Spinks, of Vernon, acted as legal adviser and draughtsman. In the session preceeding the election of 1890, the government introduced the railway aid bill. One of the features of that bill was to give railway companies a right to collect a royalty of five per cent on all ore values extracted from mineral claims located on land that would be given thereafter to the railway companies, as abonus to aid in their construction. Kellie’s election in 1890 was founded on that issue and although opposed by GRAND FORKS ELECTION.

At the session of 1891 the five percent. réyalty clause was repealed and tha government placed a reserve 10 n . deep on the lands around Slocan lake. Prior to the order in council being ga- zetted, placing the reserve, many people had taken up preemptions and others had filed applications to purchase under the provisions of the Land act which gave them that privilege. Notwithstand- ing the fact that the applicants were acting within their rights by act of parliament, the government of Hon.

It includes many mining camps of ex- ceptional promise; many. camps such as the Lardeau, Fish Creek, Big Bend and Ilecillewaet are hard to openon account of the mountainous cheracter of the countizy. Much im: been .aecomplished during Mr. Kellie’s time in getting roads and trail +t. different mining camps. The whole district seems to be highly mineralized and it is a difficult matter to follow the prospector and find the money to give him the roads and trails needed. A vigorous policy is required and an outlay of money judiciously ex- pended with a view of opening out the mining camps will not only be of ad- vantage to the district but will hasten . the prosperity of the province as a whole. Mr. Kellie visited this camp in 1890. There was no Rossland then, only a few prospectors’ cabins. Next year he se- cured appropriations to cut trails. In 1892 he secured $4,000 to build in a wagon road, but on account of the Slocan stampede the money was not expended in 1893.
