The blockhouse above the fort contained three hundred more troops. with two Krupp and two Nordenfeldl, guns.

Many of them now in the camp, having exhaust- ed their funds, are simply waiting around until suchtime as the can pro- secute their operations in the moun- mine. In comparing Rowland withthe Slocan district it should he stated that the Slocan is four years old, while Ross- land is only two. However, only time can tell which will yield the greatest paying ore. The owners at Rossiand certainly have confidence in their own camp and will stand or fall with it. That Rossiand will live, however, there is not a shadow of a. doubt. Rossland to-day wears the appearance of a bust- ling, thriving little town. The for- tunate ones seem to be as busy as bees and in most of the mining offices the type-writers are heard to click almost incessantly, Almost every known busi- ness is represented here. As (you pass up the main thoroughfare, olumbia avenue, you will find brokerage of- fices and drufgie‘te. and hotels and brokerage of ices. and bakers, and cigar stores and brokerage offices, and butchers and brokerage offices. You will meet people from every nationality under the sun-Chin-ti, Japanese', Italians, Frenchmen. Portuguese, and Americans from all parts btthecoum. try. The most astonishing thing about Rossland is that of them out of employment,so that for some time to come there is likely to be an adequate supply of men for the work to he done. As an instance of what has been said, enquiries were recently made on behalf ofaman who wished to come here with a team of horses to haul wood or ore. or anything else, and it was learned that there are already over a hundred teams here and many of them not employed. There is undoubtedly room in Rossland and in British Colum- bia for a great many people, but the beat opportunities are for capitalists, prospectors, and a few men for special positions having the special ability to fill them. Young men holding good positions in the east will do well to retain their situations and it disposed can share in the prosperity of the mines by judiciously investing their small amounts in legitimate enterprises. Men without means are cautioned to secure something definite here before coming. else they will find themselves in all probability stranded in a community where expenses are exorbitantly high and work surprisingly scarce. Not- withstanding all this, it may betruth- fully stated that, Rossland gives ample promise of being a remarkable min- ing camp, and, indeed, it has already won that title. There are eight ship- ping mines here to-day and it is believed there will be many more as soon as the snow melts off the mountains. The older residents say There ore three classes of people in Rosebud. to-day. namely, the hopeful, the very hopeful, and the hopelel. lo the timt class belong ell those who believe there are good prospect! for the place and have determined tospend their time and what capital they any hove in building up a permanent city. To the second class belong those who have their pet schemes to float and I. thousand and one enterprises which may be good, or bad, or very indiffer- ent. In the last class will be found the unfortunates who have reached here without money in their pockets. nor talent in their head and have found it almost impossible to earn an ordinary living. It should he stated at the oub. set that there is good reason for warn- Ing working men, and mechanics. and book-keepers. and clerks. and in fact the great mass of people, from coming to this section of the country without money in their possession. Of the working classes here at, present it is stated authoritatively that fifty p. o. of them are unemployed, though twenty-five per cent. of these are simply waiting for the snow to melt when they will take themselves to the hills.
