Mr. Marpote’s Impressions

R. Marpole, general superintend-
ent of the C. P. R., who was re-
cently here on a tour of inspection,
stated on his return to the coast
that he had noted signs of prosperi-
ty all along the line, particularly im
Rosstand and Nelson. Referring to
the mineral industries here he said:

““Theipresent Prosperous move-
ment is only the outward indication
of the fact that the country has
passed the experimental stage. The
era of production has begun and
the goodly heritage British Colum-
bia has in the mineral deposits of
the interior have now that they are
thoroughly proven, begun to yield
results that will be bound to increase
rapidly.”

BE DEAD,

tion le that a- party from
the I. X. L, had spent Saturday“ ‘in
Rossland and lingered'here until a
late hour, or rather an early hour
Sunday morning. The party con-
sisted of F. Hughes, James Sim-
mens, John Hall, —— Thompson
and Napoleon Guy, with Gill Arm-
strong as driver.

There is a decided discrepancy as
to whether the rig, which was a
stout double-seated buggy or gpen
wagon, upset. The first report that
reached the city was to the effect
that the team had run away and
smashed the vehicle to pieces.
Fred Lindberg, however, to whom
the team belonged, sent a man out
after the supposed runaway team,
and it was found standing quietly
within 300 feet of where the men
were thrown out, and with hardly a
scratch on the wagon,

The injured men were brought
back to the hospital and’ Hughes
died within an hour after reaching
it. “Simmons and Hall were ‘badly
hurt and the driver, Gill Armstrong,
had two ribs broken. All in all the
| accident made.a most dismal ending

to a day of pleasure,
