DISTINGUISHED MINING MEN

Rossland will be honored tomor- row by the most distinguished body of excursionists who have ever vis- ited this district. The party will consist of about thirty members of the Canadian Mining Institute; men who ate identified and familiar with mining and its conditions through- out Eastern Canada, ‘Their obser- vations will be of peculiar interest, inasmuch as this will be a new field for them, and they will be given ev- ery opportunity to view and study the conditions surrounding that in- dustry which has brought the min- eral resources of British Columbia to the attention of the financial world. Each section of the Koote- niies will have its interesting field, ncluding the gold, silver and lead localities. They will see and view the newest methods in mining and treating ores of comparatively low grade, and will certainly carry away such favorable impressions of the unlimited wealth of our mines as will result materially in promoting that confidence which prompts in- vestment.

Rossland’s Board of Trade has shown. a full measure of apprecia- tion of the coming of these visitors

* ard will not only place at their dis- pesal every possible opportunity for enlightment on the subject which chiefly interests them, but will see that their stay is made socially pleasant. The papers to be read by those members of Rossland’s

‘mining fraternity who are most familiar with the methods sur- rounding the working and devel- opment of British Columbia, proper- ties, are sure to promote questions and discussions which will be of in- terest and benefit to jhe whole com- munity. These discussions will be

lished in the pr di and transactions of the Canadian Mining Institute, thereby insuring circulation in such journals as commend them- selves to the investing world. The methods of treating ores will be fol- lowed with interest at the ‘Lrail smelter, where a day will be spent as guests of Manager Aldridge.

On Thursday last a band of In- dians of the Mountain Stoney tribe, from Morleyville, Alberta, passed through town on their way to pay their tri-annual visit to their friends the Kootenays, on the St. Mary's reserve. There were about torty lodges, probably two hundred In- dians and one thousand horses. The Indians are industrious, loyal and peaceable. Their origin is somewhat obscure, some claiming they are an offshoot of the Koote- nays. Major Culbertson, who traded with the Bloods and Blackfeet more than sixty years ago, said they be- long to the great Sioux nation. While they understand the. Cree and Blackfeet languages, their own language is entirely different.—Fort Steel Prospector.

quarrels‘that could be im- agined, and that he was thankful that he was not connected with either of the companies. With re- gard to the statement that had been made about his brother, John Man- ley, that a warrant had been issued for his arrest for conspiracy to burn down the Columbia hotel, he said that rumors had been afloat that warrants were out for fifteen citi- zens of Grand Forks, but not one of them had been served as yet. Mr. John Manley was interested in some property at Republic with Dr. S. A. Manley, another brother, and had gone to inspect the work. This was the American Flag, adjoining the Zala M., and he supposed he was back in Grand Forks by this time. So far there had been only one witness examined, and he could not say what there was in the case, but what evidence had been pro- duced so far had failed to implicate John Manley.

Turning then to municipal affairs in Grand Forks, Mayor Manley stated that the city was going to put in the best waterworks for a city of its size to be found in British Columbia. The water would be brought from Kettle river, and would be thoroughly filtered. Mr. C. A. Riblet, the hydraulic engineer who was in charge of the smelter work, was making special designs for both the city and the smelter. There would be three separate pumps on one working shaft, so that even if two broke down they would have a third to fall back on. The power would be electricity and the city would use 50 horse power for their waterworks and 150 for city lighting.

The Merchant's Bank of Halifax was about to erect a handsome brick and stone structure, which will be provided with steam heat

(Mayor Manley) was putting a new| brick building next door to the bank building, at a cost of $5,000 and there were outside of these many more buildings being erected at considerable. cost. and of great ar- chitectural merit.

_—————_—————- ‘SOPHIE MOUNTAIN KOAD.

‘Whe Location On a'Good Grade Easy to Construct.

The party of surveyors under Mr. J. A. Kirk, P. L. S., who have been at work locating the Sophie Moun- tain road, returned to Rossland last night after completing the work but the location has still to be passed upon by the government. The road starts from the Velvet mine and has

the summit of -Sophie mountain, where it crosses the-Dewdney trail and continues from there along the east flank of the mountain to the crossing of Ivanhoe ridge, with an average grade of less than two de- grees. From the summit of Ivan- hoe ridge to the crossing of Spok- ane Creek at Granite Point, the road runs with a grade of six and one-half per cent. From there to Silica, which is the terminus, the grade is an eight per cent. one.- The country through which the road runs is closely covered with small timber. The road will be about eight miles long. Construction will be commenced as soon as word is received from the government and it is hoped to/have the. road in shape this fall.

boy arrived at the Fire Hall with the news that there was a confla- gration in the lower end of town: on Victoria avenue between Davis and Earl streets. The boys were out in

almost no time. The fire was in a}.

new building owned by Mr. E. D. Sharpin,, whois. in the office of}. Messrs, Abbott and Hart-McHarg, and was being erected by Contrac- tor J. E. Wise. The building had been plastered and in it was stored. a quantity of building lumber. for another house that was being built}. for Mr. Sharpin. by the, same car- penter. The first building with its contents was a total loss, but could have been saved had an alarm been turned in from the box close by John Kirkup’s residence.

The other house was damaged to the extent of $250. “About a week ago Mr. Sharpin urged Mr. Wise, to take out some :igsurance on: the buildings, during the construction,

and told him he, was taking too):

much risk. Policies to the extent of $1,000 were accordingly obtained so that the loss, amounting: in-all'to about $1,500, will not be se seyere- ly felt by “ir. Wise. Mr. Sharpin loses the use of the premises for some time.

There-are two theories as to the cause of the fire. One ‘is that it was the result of incendiarism-and the other that it was caused by rain slacking a ‘quantity of lime stored between the buildings for, their completion and igniting the struc- ture. The chief of the fire depart- ment is rather, inclined to the latter view.

The carpenters who were work- ing in the buildings lost all their tools, valued at over $250, and these .were not covered by the in- surance.
