years ago thinks the place Is dead or
deserted because they have turned their
backs upon it. they are laborlng under
a mistake. The fire of last February
and the floods of May and June did
much to contract the size OF the rap
idly built town and some ugly scars
are yet in sight to mar the natural
beauty of n favored site for a little
city on the wave dashed shores of old
Kootenai lake.
This fall quite a number of new build
ings are being erected in the burned
district. Fletchcr'& Fletcher have re-
built the Grand Central hotel, l. A.
Garland, the dry goods man, has built
Il handsome two story frame, the Byers
Hardware Co. occupy fine building
farther up and on the opposite side of
the street from the old store. The
agency Of the Bank of Montreal, CHS
holm's grocery and other business
houses occupy new sites on upper Front
street and a new business block is APP
preaching completion on the lot below
where the Occur d. Alene hotel stood
in ante-fire times. John Keen's two
Front streets is occupied as the dis
trict government recording office, tel
egraph office and residence II. Gieg-
erich has rebuilt his warehouse and will
erect a much larger and more COM
modious store than the temporary
quarters he has been occupying since
the fire.
Mineral Belt Tributary.
The past seasons development has
proved that there is much more min
eral wealth on the Kaslo slope of the

be, which must find an outlet via Kas-

The ores of Jackson basin and Creek,
Whitewater, Lyle, Bear Spring,
Twelve Mile, Blue Ridge and the south
fork of Kaslo must necessarily gravi-
ate to Kootenai lake, and as there has
been much activity in all these sections
the past season many new finds have
been made and large quantities of ship
ping ore have been exposed.
New Group of Claims.
The south fork of Kaslo creek, empty

west of the town. has until the past
summer been supposed TO he off the
mineral belt. but only eight
miles from town by wagon road and
trail group of claims have been de-
veloned to that extent that the owners
expect to shin several car loads of ore
this winter. Besides this there are at
least dozen others which will be pro

Scheme to Force Germany TO Remove
the Embargo From American Meat
Washington. Nov. 3.-Secretary of
Agriculture Morton is giving his earn
est attention to the question of inspec
lions of foods imported into the United
States and as result may suggest
some very radical steps in the next re-
port One instance has come under his
observation of the large importations
into the United States of a certain
brand of Rhine wine, which can be pro-
duced only in a small tract of Germany,
but of which this country receives
more than that particular tract is cap
able of producing. Germany therefore
could find no cause for complaint Ii
the United States should decide to
enforce a strict inspection of their
wines for sanitary reasons and such a
policy might prove an effective method
of retaliation, one which would lead
Germany to conclude that American
meat was wholesome.

Several Casualties Reported.
City of Mexico Nov. Sat $3.50 o'clock
last night the strongest earthquake shock
ever felt in Mexico occurred here lasting
over five minutes Many houses
fell. The streets were full of fleeing peo-
pie Many were wounded and a number
have died The electric and other lights
went out, leaving the city in darkness.
All traffic was suspended. The streets
were filled with screaming, praying PEG
pie.
The scene was understandable. People in
the theatres, which were all running at
the time, were frightened and panics
were averted only by the police. AT Or
rim theatre Juan Tenorio" was being
given, and just as the graveyard scene
was presented the people, naturally SUI
perstitious, saw the statutes move and
screamed that the end of the world had
come.
All the wires are down. Shocks were felt
in the surrounding towns, but details are
not received yet. 1t is reported that three
persons were killed and 10 wounded by
the shock i'm this city as far as known.

COSTA RIGA is THE OFFENDER.
British Vessels Ordered TO That Country
Instead of Peru.

Victoria, B. c., Nov. alt has been
learned that the destination of the
British fleet which has been hastily or
dered to southern waters is Costa
Rica, instead of Peru. 1t is reported that
serious state of affairs exists in Cos
ia Rica, and that the British consulate
at Punta Arenas, a seaport of San Jose,
has been burned and looted and the con-
sui carried a prisoner into the interior
of the country. 1t is also reported that
the consups wife and daughter have
been killed, but this is not credited.
Four ships will hasten with all speed
with the ostensible purpose of teaching
the Costa Ricans a lesson. From the
haste with which the ships have been
ordered to proceed it is surmised that
the offense against British dignity has
been most serious. The Satellite, Cham
pion and another ship are already on
the way, and the Royal Arthur will
sail tomorrow, overtaking them at Aca-
pulco.
Report About Callao Untrue.
Lima, Nov. 3.-The report that the
Peruvian insurgents had made an at

his wife and daughter, is untrue.

Washington, Nov. 3.-Senator Calvo,
charge d'affaires of the Costa Rica le-

ships were about to start for Costa
Rica to teach that country a lesson.

An exciting hunt took place on Fix

clubs, but with only one gun in the out
