Local notes on Nakusp trades and mining efforts in West Kootenay
The Nakusp area sees ads for cheap house and furniture sales. D McGillivray reports progress pushing a road to the Forks. Hugh Madden and Patrick Shea assess the Iron Crown claim on Mineral Creek. McKay returns from Cariboo Creek with stock, distributing as usual. The Alpha mine at Silverton will suspend soon after ore shipments cover property value. The C P R officials plan a visit to Nakusp next Tuesday to review rail progress toward Three Forks, while Slocan ore contracts suggest winter car movement. Trail Creek Josie mine remains idle, and Northport ore will shift to rail. Corbin seeks to safeguard trade ahead of a potential Rossland railroad extension.

Kootenay Telegraph Line Faces Postwar Profit Push
The CPR built the Revelstoke to Nelson telegraph for 14000. Floods and fires caused a loss of at least 3000. Nelson rarely covers expenses. Watson tops month receipts at 12 dollars. Three Forks Kaslo Nakusp remain in the red but better service is near. Telegraph use grows province wide, signaling renewed trade and hoped profit for the line.
