The unjust mining laws Of Canada are
the greatest drawback in the way of de-
velopment of the mineral resources OF
the Kootenai country. Mining men pro-
nounce them puzzle to prospectors and
q conundrum to even those learned in
law. The Americans operating in that
country are seriously considering the
matter and at the next session of tina
house of assembly an effort will be made
TO have the laws so simplifed that what.
ever may be their meaning it can be dc,
ciphered, SO that those engaged in devel
oping the rich properties there may
know what they have to depend upon ir
the way Of protectisn under the law.

Ir 1t had been true that Kilrain was
drugged before the fight he could have
made fortune in the sale Of the COM
pound administered to him. Almost
any man would rustic around and dig
up dollar for bottle of medicine that
would enable him to stand up in front
Of Sullivan for seventy-fve rounds.

TIE REVIEW was the recipient

THE REVIEW was the recipient yester-
day of many compliments by prominent
citizens on account of the improved ap-
pearance of the paper Sunday morning.
Printers all understand the great diff
cultes attending complete change of
type and form ofa large newspaper in Il
single day, and especially when the
change involves the setting in motion of
Il bran new and complicated printing
machine, folding machine and stereo-
typing apparatus. In the first place
every line of type in the paper had TO be
reset, the shafting had to be adjusted, an
engine had to be improvised, as the cleo
trio motor ordered by telegraph had not
arrived. That there were imperfections,
and many of them, in this first number,
under the arrangement, may be readily
perceived, but it was pronounced a
newspaper of which all the people Of
Spokane Falls and the country trib-
utary thereto might be justly proud.
The machinery is now in fairly good
working order and soon will be running
like clock-work. The invitation is re-
nowed to all who may deiire TO see III
motion the first perfectin press ever
brought to Washington to call Thursday
mornings when the mammoth weekly
edition pill he printed from continuou:
reels of paper, each four miles in length

THE silliest fake that can be perpetra-
tod is the elaboration of an unauthenti-
Gated and manifestly erroneous rumor
for the sake OF selling few copies OF an
alleged newspaper The deception may
bring in a few extra nickels, but it always
disgusts the patrons and the consequence
is that no reliance is placed in the of
Tending paper for long time atterward.

CIGAR FACTORY BURNED.
A Destructive Blaze on Sixteenth Street
ibis Morning.


At / o'clock this morning the fire de-
partment was called out to save the cigar
factory of Aug. Almstead, on Sixteenth
between O'Neil and Bent streets. One
stream of water was found to be sufficient
and the Durants soon extinguished the
flames.
The building. a small frame structure,
was the property of A. D. Kelley and was
insured. 1t vas badly burned and will
be considered almost a total loss.
The stock included 20, 900 cigars and a
large quantity of tobacco. Mr.. Almstead
estimated its value to be between
5 $1,000 and $4,000. Smoke and water
pretty effectively destroyed the cigar
makers property.
A fire was kept in the establishment all
night, and the flames were started near
the stove. The building has been on fire
three times before.
The fire alarm system will be tested be-
tween l and 2 o'clock this afternoon.
