The Rossland Record reports the Semlin Government plans to double the mineral tax to cover losses from inactivity in the Slocan mines. Rossland mines face higher costs as officials seek mine owners' cooperation, with Secretary Tolmie in Rossland amid limited success. Persistent rain has damaged wagon roads, causing washouts and breaks, necessitating rebuilding on the Emily Edith mine road and extensive repairs on lake shore routes. A Silver Creek road work gangs keeps freighting routes passable.
