THE GRAND FORKS MINER.SECOND YEAR.—NO. 68.GRAND FORKS, B. C., SATURDAY, AUGUST 28, 1897.PRICE FIVE CENTST¥irYOU BUN VOTEALONG CHRISTINA LAKE.There Is no Such Thing as aClosed List.D. W, HIGGINS OPINIONBe Says That Mr- Norris Wrongly Oon gtrues the Law Relative to the Voters List—Interesting Letter,The vut of Mr. Higgine to Grand Forks at this time is most opportune, tor by this visit he is enabled to perform a service tor the people of this district that will be appreciated by our citizens. It consists of straightening up the difficulty relative to the voters’ list which, according to the construction of Mr. Norris has been closed, thus shutting out from voting at the next election, a large number of men who have changed their place of residence lately. These, according to Mr. liig gins, will be allowed to vote, providing they conform to a certain legal provision which is set forth in the following iletter, received today by the Miner from Mr. Higgins:Grand Forks, August 27, 1897.-[To the Editor of the Miner.]—Mf attention ha8 been cull-j£(\ to the following notice at the Recorder's office in this city:“Memorandum—The next court of revision will be held on Monday the 2nd day of August next. After revision the list will be closed and such closed list will be the voter's list for the ensuing year. Application to have names .placed on the voters* list must be sent In to the collector sixty days before being entered on the list. (See Chap. 88, B. C. Con.iL. NORRIS,Collector of Votes for the East Riding of Yale Electoral District.The statement by Mr. Norris that “After revision the list will be closed and such list will be!the voters’ list for the ensuing year, Is incorrect. The«yqtemof registration in force In ■this province is continual. It is true that a court of revision is held in August of each year but the lists are uover closed. Any duly .qualified person rpay send to the collector of votes In the district ip which he .resides an application to hove his name placed qu the voters’ list and ;after the name of such applicant shall have been posted for ftjperlo# of two months without ,an objection having been filed the collector is required to insert the name on the voters’ list. (See Chap. 88, B. (J. Con.) There is no such, thing as a “closed list under our system*. If Mr. Norris' construction were to prevail no 3iQines could be added after Juue2 of each •year and thousands of qualified voters would be disqualified at the next election.If collectors in other districts have misread the law similarly there will be no end to the fconfusion, disappointment and illegality next year.Immediate steps should pe taken to properly instruct Mr. Norris and all other collectors who jjnay labor under the sapie misapprehension,p. \V. UiapiNs.Items op Intrerkst From a GoodMining Camp.Quite a brisk little brush fire is at present ragiug between Cascade City and tho lake.A groat deal of clearing is being done thia summer on Mr, Saddlers ranch at English point.LuBt Sunday a fishing party of Ross-land people cume to Christina lake. Mr. Reed the well known correspondent of tho Northern Western, was among the party.Some flue galena ore has been recently found in the Burnt Basin, some 12 miles up McRea creek. An assay of thia ore recently made showed returns of $149 all values.The hills around the lake are full of prospectors and the heavy giant powder shots can be heard continually which is standing evidence that the camp is pushing forward.Considerable interest is being taken by the inhabitants of Christina Lake district over the recent sale of the St. Elmo property that was bonded by Messrs, Martin and Curtis, barristers of Rossland for the sum of $50,000, as work is to be started at once on this property.It was for the purpose of trying to arrange a settlement between these parties that the Hon. G. B. Martin recently made a trip to the lake, but the Chief Commissioner on his arrival hero was unable to arrange a settlement and reserved his decision till he returned to Vernon, as this matter is pending and futher comment is withheld.Most interest is taken by the people of these parts over the coming decision of the Chief Land Commissioner for this Province, in the matter of the La Valley property which is beautifully situated at the lake. The dispute over this land arose in this way; some time ago the LaValley property was staked as a purchase by a Mr. Dundee from Rossland. Mr. LaValley not noticing the stakes on this land re-staked it as a pre-emption, and has done large improvements on it and has done a great deal generally for the advancement of the Christina Lake district.Notes of Interest From Adjacent Mines.PATHFINDER PROGRESSBig Deal on Christina Lake—Another Rich Strike—Maohinery on the Ironsides and Knob Hill.R1T BY A RATTLER.;D^ve WgodheadJs JPup Has a Painful Experience.Dave Woodheadts pup which on the (L8th of the moptb .was bitten by a rattle snake does nlt;*t appear to have suffered any serous consequences. Onthe morning of the j.8th Woodhoad and LaRue Perrine were on their way to do some work on a Morrissy creek .claim. When near the brick yard, east .of tfce town, Dave’s pup got op the trail of a rattle snake, and being an unsophisticated canine, though he would have a little fun on his own accoppt. When bo came up to the snake /however fye got a jab in the hind leg th^t brought forth a volley of howls, making the hills ring with the echoes. Tho leg swelled up too large to be carried around so after killing the snake,Wood-head threw the dog into a mudholo and ■went on to his work.When he returned home in the evening the dog had just managed to reach the hoend after a few days poulticing, the leg which attained the proportions pf a length of stovepipe, returned t,Q its normal si?e. Now when he roams £he fields the pup examinee a trail very /closely to boo jyhethay it U zpade by a ground squirrel or a snake, and if it proves to be the lpttey tiie.ro is a whizzing sound, a black streak, and in two seconds the pup bumps up aga.inst Dave’s cabin door like a cannon ball.JGone After a PartnerMr. H. $. Cayley, barrister, of Grand ^Forks, passed through town on Saturday’s stage bound for Vernon, and it is whispered that on tho result of this mission depends bis life’? happiness, as not qn legal but upon matrimonial business ,1a he bent. The young lady who has consented to bring sunshine into his jife, is none other than the youngest (daughter of his late law partner, Mr. W. (M. Cochrane of yornpp,—jdhm FIX UP THE ROAD.Considerable Work Needed Between Nelson and Curlew.The action of the Midway towcsite company in commencing work on the road between Midway and the Curlew store has aroused interest in Nelson in repairing the road between this place and Curlew. Early last spring, .when traffic first commenced to be heavy into tnis section there was a tacit understanding between the Midway and Nelson residents that each place would put the road in shape to Curlew, thus completing a route which would bring all of th9 freight for Midway and much of that for Greeuwood and Anaconda through Nelson and around by way of pf the Kettle river instead of over the mountain between Fourth of July 'creek and Greenwood. Now that Midway is carrying out her part of tho agreement tho Nelson citizens are contemplating the commencement of wo k from their end of the line. There a e a number of sharp grades ,to be eased up, some sidling pieces of road to be levelled and some sections in the bottom lands where there are bad chuck-holes that will have to bo filled. It will taker several hundred dollars to do Nelson’sr part of the work.--Re6orvation Record.Will Go to Klondike.Billy Guttridge, who left Grand Forks about two months ago on a visit to his parents who reside in London, England, has been heard from. Arthur Milthorpe got a letter this week from Pilly in which he states that he arrived hptpe safe and sound and was at present enjoying himself in renewing ac-qu^untanceo of his childhood days. Billy aays that ho has been successful ip organising a .company to work a number of properties he is interested in on Ganyon creek and fro expects to return to the Forks in a short time to commence wprk on tfiem. He also adds that he is perfecting arrangements to lead an exploration party into the Klondyke for the aprne copipany, to start from this city about the jfirsj of March and has made a proposition to Mr. Milthropo to join the party.Tom Parkinson, president of th e Path -tinder Mining, Reduction and Invest ment company, came down from the company’s property on Pathfinder hill Wednesday evening. At present they are running a crosscut at tho bottom of the shaft, whicfi is now down 65 feet, to determine tho width of tho ledge, which is solid peacock ore in a white quartz from the grass roots down, carrying gold and native copper. Tom says that during the past ten days ho has had a force of men at work starting new openings on the property, and as a result of the work had struck three now oro-bodios which are much better than the one they have been working in the main shaft. Assays are being made from samples taken from these now openings and if the result comes up to expectations he will bo able to convince anyone that the Pathfinder is tho makingof one of the best paying mines in the province. If we had a few more such rustlers as the boys it would be much easier to convince the railway companies that there is plenty of tonnage to be had from this locality.Lake Properties Change Hands.Hon. Joseph Martin, ex-M. P. and Mr. Smith Curtis, both of Rosslund, closed a deal at Christina lake last Saturday, whereby tho well known St. Elmo, belonging to Mr. Hutchinson, became the property of the above named gentlemen. The tortus of the deal, as near as can bo learned, are us follows: A workingbond of $50,000, of which a percentage was paid at the time of sale, balance in six and twelve months; with a conditional clause that work is to ho prosecuted on this property continuously until the bond is lifted.It i6 fully expected that this deal will lead to more capital being interested in theChiistina lake section at once, as by tho development of tho St. Elmo a rich proposition will be thrown open to public inspection.Struck it Rich.The Raulston boys who have spent the entire summer in developing the Diamond Hitch and a number of other North Fork properties, unear thod a rich body of ore this week on the Tiger, situated on Pathfinder hill. The ore is roported to be of the same general character as that taken from the Pathfinder and as far as richness is concerned in gold and copper, as said to bo far superior to anything found on the hill yet. Tho lodge has every appearance of being largo and if the ore improves with depth as is gonerally the case with allPutting in Machinery.Mr. Frank Hemminway, who has] charge of tho development work being done (in the Ironsides and Kult;*b Hill, in Greenwood camp, passed through town Wednesday on his way back from Mar cub where he had been to superintend the loading of the machinery to be put in on these properties. The plant consists of a boiler, steam pump and hoist ing apparatus, which is now on the way between this city and Bossburg. On its arrival at tho company’s property it will be placed in position as rapid'y as the work can be done and a largo force of men will bo put to work getting out • ore to bo ready for shipment as soon as the railways roach hero. The showing already made is far beyond the expecta-tations of the owners, Frank Graves, tho president of tho company which owns thesa properties, is expected to arrive from Spokane about tho first of next month to inspect the work already done.Will Lead Them All.Jim Reeder, tho good mixerolcgist who presides over tho destiny of Van Nees’ bar, accompanied by J. II. Walker of Rossland, returned Wednesday afternoon from a week’s tour of inspection of the North Fork and Pass croeic districts. During their trip they visited the B. C. and several other properties in Summit camp and the Pathfinder, Diamond Hitch, Bonanza und a number of other North Fork mines. Tho boys are enthusiastic over the showings made oq these properties and say that with half of tho work done on them that has been done on the mines at Rossland the Grand Forks district will rank second to none in tho provinco and tho number of its shipping mines will ho double that of the Trail district.Will Apply For Crown Grant. Fred Wollaston, pr vineiul land surveyor, iB busy this week surveying the Amoricun Eagle, Babe and Monte Carlo, situated on Hardy mountain, Considerable work has already been done on these properties, which are to ho Crown granted. They belong to Hugh McGuiar and othe.-s of this city. Doing Assessment Work. Messrs. McFarland, Ralfs and Langford are doing assessment work on the Dickinson fraction and Union Jack. These claims are located on Pathfinder bill and lie between the celebrated Pathfinder mine and Diamond Hitch and the charucter of ore found is the same as that taken from those mines.THE CHRISTINA CLAIM.Sends a Representative to Ontario — a Promising Property.J. W. Fear, of Waterloo, Ont., loft for home today to represent the Kettle ! River Mining it Development company of British Columbia. This company owns the Ohrisiina mineral claim on the north fork of the Kettle river, near Grand Forks, which has probably the largest high grade vein of free milling ore yet reported.—R island Miner.This is the property located near tho Volcanic, upon which it was roported a short time ago that a stamp mill was soon to be erected. The ore is strictly free milling and tho Christina gives promise of being one of tho big money makers of the North Fork.Kicked by a Cayuse.Mr. E. Spraggott made his appearanceupon our streets this week sporting a properties opened upon the North Fork,; Ciine. ^ |jr9t wag thought ho hadthe boys have something that will prove ; joiuocl the S icioty of Dudes, but onto be u money-maker for them in time. qUjry revealed the fact that such wasCommenced Work Again.The English aud French Gold Miningnot the case.

On apShould Speak Out IQ Meeting.In a recent issue of the Spokestnap-Review there appeared an item to tho effect that one of Grand Forks’ barristers bad created considerable indignation by going Bwimming in a nude state in the presence of ladies. As there aro several gentlemen in Grand Forks who belong to the legal fraternity aud who Under no circumstances would degradethei/iBoives by taking a plunge in a nude habitue in the presence of ladies, tho author of tho article should in all fairness to those gentlemen give the name of t,b,e offending barrister to the public.The fishing in the Kettle river near Edwarq’s Ferry is said to be excellent. Lovers of the sport can find the best of accomnpodatiooB at Mrs^Urabam’s at the85 feet in length. From parties who just came down from tho company’s works it is learned that u large body of very rich ore has been struck. The nature of this new strike is uut made public at this time.Around Christina Lake.A. K. Stuart, agent of the Midway Townsite company, was an arrival on Wadnesday evening’s stage from Cas-,cad© Citv. Mr. S. ha3 been spending seyerl days ut Christina lake, whore ho has large property interests, aud reports that section full of life and activity. Ilo ,oays that a good deal of development work is bejng dono there at prosent with most/encouraging results and tho universal opinion seetps to bo that a largo number of the properties in that locality will prove to be shippers when fully developed. Already the samples of ore tpken from there aro attracting tho attention of mining tjjen from RosGlandand /elsewhere and several largo deals are now under negotiation, which ifpreaching the cuyuHe it wheeled and let fiy with both hind feet, striking Mr. Spr aggctt on tho loft leg and inflicting two bad gashes. Dr. Hepworth wee at once sent foi and found it necesaarry to take several stitches in tho cuts. Although Mr. S. is able to hobble around it will bo some time before ho can do any work.Want a Registrar.A petition, addressed to the attorney general of British Columbia, praying that a deputy registrar of the county court be appointed at Grand Forks at once was numerously signed in the city yesterday, and duly forwarded to the proper uutholt; ities.There is no question but that tho time has now arrived when the appointment must be made and we hope the authorities at Victoria will Joe no time over the matter.Connected With Hon. D. W. Higgins Visit.AN INTERESTING TALKMr. Higgins L Impressed With the Need of a Railroad Here Be-leives Yale Will Bo Divided-lion. D. W„ Higgins, speaker of tho lower house, is in the city, having arrived Thursday evening from Fairview where he has mining property winch haw been claiming his attention, Mr, Higgins’ last visit to Grand Forks was on December 8 of last year, and in the short time which has elapsed between that date and this, the appoanuico of | tho town has materially chauged. In speaking of the improvuionts Mj:. liig-gins said:NOT WHAT IT SHOULD HAVE BREN.“You Iihvo hadu good growth, but it is not what it should have been. 1 believe that hud not the subsidy of $1,000 per mile been defeated in the assembly, Grand Forks woild today lmve 1200 inhabitants more than she now possesses. That was a sad blow to all this section, but one from which it will recover with the alvcnt ot railway transportation.“There is bound to be a city here, as I came In from Fairview over that long tedious drive through woods and over bills, and came into view of this grand valley, with its stretches of prairie laud, yellow fields in which the grain was standing in shocks, pretty country homes nestling in green chumps of trees, ami beyond them the town of Grand Forks marking the junction of the two great water-wuvs of this section, 1 was more than ever impressed with the beleif that here is the ideal locality fur a city. Back of all this natural beauty is a wonderful mineral resource which, however, will be forced to lie dormant until the means arc furnished for transportation.WAS NOT GRAJIAM.“I see by your paper that Hon. G. B. Martin said in the course 0/ bis remarks here last week that Mr. Graham, the member from thisd.strict, moved the amendment that killed the railway bill. This statement was no doubt an unintentional error on the part of Mr. Martin. This motion was not made by Mr Graham but by another member of the opposition. It was, however, supported hy Mr. Graham.ANYTHING BUT POLITICS.“No, 1 know nothing new on the railway question beyond what luis appeared m the daily papers. Mr. Sbaughnessy of 1 lie Canadian Pacific is, 1 understand, coming to visit Grand Forks und you can get from him all the railway news there is.“I dont want to say anything about polities.I didn’t.come hereon u political mission and itis too early 111 tho day to be discussing politicalissues. Let tis stick to mining for a while yet-and above all, let every man, woman and childpull together for a railway. That is one factorthat is absolutely essential to the developmentof this section. Locally, it docsu't make muchdi floreucc where the road comes from or who builds it.HAS A GREAT FUTURE.During my trip here 1 was particularly pleased with what I saw at Fairview. I11 spue of the intensely hot weather, mining was, and still is icing prosecuted extensively in this camp. TheSmuggler mine is doing good work now. its owner having recently cleaned up$l,5G0 in gold 011 the plates after an 18 days run, with the gold in the batteries and concentrates still to be secured. This ore yields $17 in gold to the ton. and considering the enormous amount of ore in sight it is a big proposition. The Tin Horn property has been opened up by three tunnels with good results. A stamp mill on this claim will be running within three weeks.“Building in Fairview is progressing and 1should judge it has a popula.ion of 40(1 at prescut. . .IN FAVOR OF DIVISION.“What is your opinion in regard to dividingYale district?“That is a question which is being considerably agitated nil over the district, and I bclcivo that the division will ho accomplished, Where the line will be drawn 1 cannot of course say. The district is undoubtedly too large at present.Mr. Higgins represents Esquimau district inHERS flENTlUN.The office cat is 4-,‘ years old today.Be sure and stop at Edwards’ ferry for good me tis and clean bed.V.\ McKay has been visiting Grand Forks rlenda this week (mm Eureka.F.
