ian sense might be deemed insulting. |.

He is a fool who accepts as aa insult what is not meant as such, and I am too well acquainted with the ownership of the Rossland Miner and the influence which controls its editorial columns to blame its genial editor for obeying orders. “Any personal aspect of the case he bas raised may therefore be neglected. . The only point wortb dacussion is the question wheter my article told the truth asto the present situation of the businesa of lead smelting in British Co- Tumbia. “The reader of that article will notice that I cenfined myself very carefully and plainly to the effect of the management of the smelting worke of the C:

And I now repeat what I then said, that it is a.great advantage to the ‘mining indue- try of British Columbia. “I purposely avoided any characteriza- tion of the history of the Canadian Pa- cific Railway company or its previous Policy, hecause I am not familiar with the details of its history.” + * # * * ‘ “The Rossland Miner idee it would | “not be unfair te ask me my authority | 49

for my statement that the Canadian Pa-|)

cific railway appears to be willing to re- duce smelting rates to figures involving |‘ little or ne profit. That question is cer- tainly not unfair, and. Iwill, anewer it frankly. My authority is the rates them- selves judged by my personal knowledge of the cost ‘of emelting’ in the United States.. I have been for many years‘and am at this time heavily interested in the latter business. The works in which I

quantities of lead ore from British Co- lumbia. The smelting works ef the Ca- nadian Pacific Railway are our commer- ciai rivals. Ifthe Rossland Miner can succeed in hindering their success it will put money in our pockets. Mr. Aldridge, the manager of these worke, was former- ly employed by a i pany of which I was an officer. When he left us.and went to British Columbis-I con- fess that I was somewhat concerned as to the effect of the skillful competition which he might be able to establish. “Since my-recent visit to British Co- lumbia I have ceased to feel any anxiety and Taet up no claim to disinterested- nees for having pointed out in my recent article the way in which lead smelting at Trail and Boundary can be kept alive. Now, I deem it not unfairto ask the Rossland Miner to produce its authority and give the figures on which ita opin- ion is based, naming at the same time the persons who are better acquainted with the conditions ard more competent to judge than I am. Ifthey should turm out to be inventors of new processes, of atock or even proprietors of the Rossland Miner, I must decline to discuss the subject with

WHAT CAUSED THE LEAK.

Water Main on Columbia Avenue Settled Loosening the Cement. One of the causes of the break in the water main on Columbia avenue yester- da was the settling ef the earth under the joint. When the sewer was laid ble earth wag datthat point and loose earth was filled in under themain. At that time the joint tecked slightly and it is thought that it con- tinued to do so until the earth under- neath settled, letting the pipe at the joint down so that it sprang the lead calking. The pressure of water finally blew out the cement from two joints and the water soon forced its way te the aur- faca. ‘The pipe itself was not damaged.
