Roy Slater ami Charles H. Wolf against the Waterloo Mining k Milling company anil lhe Waterloo Cimsoliilaled Mining & Millim* company, liy which the plaintiffs sought to prohibit, the Hrsl company from re-incorporating under the mime given as the second defendant. The purpose of the company in reincorporating was to make the stock assessable instead of nonassessable, us was the caoe ot the old compuny. The complaint lirst Bet forth that the plaintiffs, Slater k Wolf, own 40,00(1 shares in the old company,which is the Waterloo Mining & Milling company, which stock is fully paid and nonassessable. The directors of this conipany are C. F, Mercian), J. V. Iti'ddy, W. G. Estep, P. S. Byrne, Thoniiis Graham, B. A. Merrick ami t:. L. Hoffman, On Lhe 2-llh of last September itis set forth lhat a iiiee.i ing of I he stockholders of I lie old com pany was called and at thai nieeling tx majority of lhe stockholders being present, a resolution was passed as follows: '_!Authorizing and directing Ibe trustees of the company to transfer and set over to a new company, thereafter lo be organized, all of the old com P;'. *y_ipropoi'tyi vou! nxoi pcisuiuti, in consideration of the following agree ment, to wil, that the new cdmpanj should have a capitalization of $125,000 divided inlo 1,'A">0,000 shares at a pill value of 10 cents per share, of which 0 cents should be paid anil 4 cents shoulil remain unpaid till called for by the trustees of the new company; thai the new company should deliver lo the old company 1,250,0(10 shares of stock, being all of its capital stock, and should assume and agree to pay the debts of Ihe old company, amounting to about the sum of $5,000, aud pa; the expenses nf disincnrpoiation j tha ut the time of the adoption of the reso Intion it. was tlie intention of the stock holders to thereafter wind up the af fairs of and dissolve the old compuny." Ou Ihe 27th of September the trustees of the company, it is claimed, attempted lo carry out the action of the stockholders' meeting nnd authorized the officers ot tbe old company to con vev all the property ot the old com puny to the new company, the Water loo Consolidated Mining k Milling conipany. On the lOlh of October, ii is claimed, the president and secretary untile Ihe deeds turning over tothe new company all the property, ami that the new company si ill retains the property. The trustees of the new conipany, il is slated, are llohuan, Reddy, Graham, K W.Taylor, Merrick and Byrne, all of whom,with the exception of Taylor, were officers and Irustees of the old conipnny, Continuing, the complain! slates : "That said purported sale was and is wholly without any consideration whatsoever, and is void iu Ibis, to wil: that the old conipnny received nothing irf-vnliie therefrom i that the new com pany had no oilier or furl ber assets than Iliose to he conveyed to It hy lhe old company ; lhat the uew company lias never delivered to the old compuny any of iis (the new company's) capital stock, but bus issued and delivered to divers and sundry persons ovei one inillinn shares of iti cnpilal slock, by reason whereof ii has made il Impossl blc fori! to comply with the terms of iis purported agreement i that the sale is void for Ihe further reason ihat the old conipnny was without authority or power lo receive, subscribe for, hold or ownlttook In the new conipany, and wns without power or authority losell nil of ils properly ns aforesaid for any oihei consideration thnn money ; that the purported sale is voiil for the further reason that al the time it was purported to be made nnd ill the time of ils purported acceptance by lhe new ciiiiipaiiy Byrne, Merrick, Graham, linldy and MeVl'Inni weie and now aie trustees of hoih companies and con sl ilntcd a majority of the board of trustees of each conipany and upon each board voted for Ihi' ngreeuienl mul were thereby placed in lbe posilion of both buyers and sellers," Further, it was claimed that the new company has levied an assessment of 5 mills per share on all capital slock and has advertised the same In be sold April 28 lo the courthouse to satisfy the payment nf assessments. Furlher, It is staled lhat the new coinpaiiy claims tbat. the old company owns 170.7110 shares of unissued slock in Ihe new company assessed for $853.03, and will, unless restrained, sell this stock forthe assessment. If Uie court holds this sale valid, the plaintiffs claim it will constitute the total assets of the company. The cise came before Judge George W. Hell at Spokane on May 1 and the court dissolved the injunction, wliieh prohibited the new company from selling 10,000 shares of its slock, hut continued the injunction prohibiting the new company from voting -10,000 shares of the stock of the old con.pany held by L. Hoy Slater and others, the plaintiffs. By tbis ruling the old com pany cannot disincorporate without the consent of the holders of the plain tiffs to tbe suit. Lust. Tuesday the plaintiffs made a new move liy illing a motion for an injiinclion far broader lhan Ibe one heretofore issued. This lime the plaintiffs ask fur nn injunction to prohibit ihe new company from working or operating tbe Waterloo mine. Judge Belt signed an order citing the mining company to appear in court this week to show ,vhy the injunction should not lie granted, In the new inolion it is asked that tbe court issue an order enjoining and restraining the new company frntn working, developing, operating, trans ' I'i'iTiiig, disposing of or incumbering ihe Waterloo mine and lbe 10slump mill, anil Jtll buildings, tools and 'in provenifiils on lhe propeity, which, it is claimed, nre owned liy the old com tinny and hnve been pretended to have Oeen transferred to the new company. The motion is accompanied by ihe iflldnvil nf Charles II, Wolf, setting forth thai, the claim; together witb its Improvement*, compose the entire nsseis of the old conipnny, nnd that ihe new conipany is now working the property and running it in debt anil inciimbeiing the properly wilh liens The property, it, is claimed, is now under the management of E, W. Tny lor, an attorney, and not a practical miner, and it is alleged he will do WOIK in an unworkmanlike manner and It unmiiierlike fashion, and Ihe mine wiil gtently depreciate in value, VICTORIA DAY MAY 24 ye Me i!_2!ii!_iV i!!i!ii!_s!'> i!ii!4i!i 7,?*iJvI^;vv!75K'i^i^i^iw!vv|VVlv Me <te tie MAAW sltyi^'iAl' yar'iiiA't vifVjv t'f, ffttf, ffttftZff. ff fix ffVf ff.

In llie course of nn exhaustive criticism of ttle Ilmtnce minister's budget speech Mr. Dennis Murphy, of West Yale, cited llgures in support of a statement thai the government discriminated in favor of its supporters In making appropriations for public works. He showed, by comparing the amounts expended on roads, streets and bridges in 1001 with the amounts proposed to lie expended in 1003, thnl whilst the government announced u cut In public works expenditures for lhe ensuing year the chief economies were to lie effected in opposition con siituencies. Tlie figures show that taking the government constituencies of North and South Victoria, Esquimau, Cowhiuan, North and South Natiaiino, Ooruox, (linsinr, Cariboo, Cariboo Trunk Head, Kast and Wesl Lillooet, North riding of East Kootenay, Nelson ruling of West Kootenay, und East Yale, seventeen government members are reduced mho? 1001 from $251,120 to .$232,050, ticking $18,170, or a litlle more than $1,1*10 apiece, as an average, while in tho opposition ami independent constituencies of Al berni, Nanaimo Chy, Richmond, Dewdney, Chilliwack, Delta, South Kast. Kootenay, Revelstoke, Slocan, Kosslnnd, Noilh and West Yale, the amounts for the same.period have been cut down from $21:1,005 to $121,801, making a reduction of $122,001 for the thirteen opposition members, or over $0,000 euch on an average. qwdUUU XV*' JIID IIIIHUIIIK Ul UUCOB linmo will make it dilllcult to induce any firm to carry out the enfftracts for what they are actually worth, as Ihey will take the present, figures as a basis upon which to form their estimates. WANTED FOR MURDER FRANK BRAZIL ARRESTED MIDWAY AT For the Murder of Charley Hall, near Marcus, on ist inst. r^rviju rrni A ^ tmmi 9 T m^tt The following taken from the Grand Forks Miner-Gazette hits Ihe nail on the head: A visitor to this city told us this week his impiessions of the country and ihey were extremely complimentary except on one point. "The worst thing I find to discourage me ahout the country," be said, "is the inclination I Hnd throughout nil eastern B. C. among merchants to cut their business out of the local newspapers nnd leave ihem without sufficient financial support lo enable litem to get out a good paper. A newspaper, even more than any olher business, is entirely dependent upon the patronage of its local people, and when they commence withdraw ing their advertisements it must decrease in quality proportionately with the decrease tu paironage. The local I,.%I,.-, la i t-^,*i tru nn Ilia uut— lilc -so perfect thermometer of lhe state of husiness in the city in which it is published, and a poor newspaper near ly always means a poor town, while the suspension of a paper which has been published any length of time gives a town the worst kind of a black eye. Look at. Nelson for instance. The Tribune of that place suspended aud I Hud in my travels, which take me all over the province, thai Nelson is generally regarded as entirely dead, fm say the people, 'the town must he fearfully quiet when the. leading paper has to quit business.' A merchant who supports his local paper is by no means doing an actof charity, for even though he may nut feel that the advertisement is bringing him proportionate returns lie is gaining hy it as ii helps to boom the town on the outside and makes people think it is a good lively place, thus by helping the town through the medium of i he newspaper h'i is helping himself a hundred fold." Upon Information furnished hy Sheriff Lowery of Republic, Wash., yesterday afternoon Provincial Constable George Cunningham arrested Frank Bnusil, a half breed, for the murder of Charley Hall, uuniher half breed, near Marcus on the 1st inst. Last Wednesday Brazil came to Midway, dQgd jis lie had no money .1. 3. Flood, livVrynian, of this place, per- milled him to sleep in tlio stable. He siitled that lie had walked from I'hoenix, He told of having bad much ex periencc around livery stables and. thnt he was ujed to breaking horses, and ns Mr. Flood bad a numhei of horses to break he engaged Brazil to work for him. Yesterdlty Deputy ShorilT Clarke of Curlew arrived in town and made inquiries about a half breed named Brazil,and I he description so resembled the man working for Flood that he was informed that his man wns in Midway. Brazil hi|d .gone to H"ck Creek during the afternoon", so tin1 sheriff awaited his return. About six o'clock he relurned, and as soon ns the sheriff saw liim he recognized his man, The information was furnished Provincial Oonstable George Cunningham, who immediately placed Brazil under arrest. He admitted his name was Brazil and lhat he was the man wanted, and consented lo go back lo Republic without fighting extradition. He was therefore handed oyer to Deputy Sheriff Clarke, who, in compuny wilh a man named Kelly, took the prisoner as far as Curlew lasl night, and today will take him on to Republic, where he will be tried on tile charge of minder. It is claimed that on Ma*. 1st Frank Brazil, in company wi'h another half bleed whose name was not learned, shot and killed Charley Hall somewhere near Marcus, Wash. Brazil's purl ner went to Republic and gave himself up, stating tbat Brazil dii^the shooting | tbat he rode up behind Hall and shot him through the hack,'the hall lodging in the stomach, jlall oiii> Mveil a sljiiri i hoe, , The only nioti.ye..giyen.l'Qt'_the murder is lhat H.-ill and Brazil had at, oil* time bad a row, when Ball gave-tlie prisoner a good thrashing. Hull is one of the localorsof the Hall mine at Nelson, B. C. res—; ,.'.. Several of the mineral claims on Wallace mountain, near Beaverdell, are among lhe most promising in1 the It is only a question of a short time until that portion of the Coast-Kootenay; Railway from Curlew to Midway will be constructed. This line would be now being built, but for the scarcity of laborers. When this road is built, most of the spur lines to the different mining camps will start from here, making this the railway centre of this district. With the advent of more railways into Midway the prices of real estate will advance, and the choice lots purchased and taken off the market. Show your good judgment by buying now.

Tdlio.sW, 'SO, 2, I TIOXAL L_ The provincial government is now in 11 lmd way. MnUers reached a crisis on Friday when the premier was compelled lo confer with the leader of the opposition with a view to patching up a truce. The governnient is incapable of proceeding further an its forces are threatened to he weaked hy the loss of Aiessrs, Ellison and Clifford, who in all probability will bolt if subsides brunt given to the .Miilwny-Vemon and Kitltnat-Hazelton roads. This niakes it bad for 1 he government to pass its railway hills, which ar» looked upon ny the opposition wiih such disfavor. It certainly looks as if the governtneni were slterlficing the province when it otters $5(10 per mile for part of thc Coast-Kootenay roud and oneinilliui acres of land to McLean Bros, in exues of wlia^Mr. Bodwell offered tn huild the same road tor over a year ago, Conditions have not changed since thai time and tlinre is nn reason whv McLean Bios, should be made a presenl, of this additional amount of money and laud. /AlllinU'*h the land grant tu the Coast Kootenay is absurd in the extreme it is not as disastrous to the Sirovince us ihe grant to the Canadian Northern road, as the former traverses a country where most uf the good laud has been already ^ueempled, while the latter road travels through a new country,- sparsely settled, and where little if any land is held hy settlers, I hereby giving to the railway conipanj the land to which Ihe settleis are justly entitled, and for any govern ment to sai rillce the country's wealth in such an extravagant manner is simply outrageoils and will likely re suit in the defeat nf the government. Hut even if the government be defeat- ed in its attempt lo fnrce sueh uuf^il legislation upon the puhlic, the evil effects will imt end there. The fact West Fork district.

No work is being done on the Rambler at presenl, the surface water from the uiefttng snow being too troublesome.

The fact is now pretty thoroughly established in railroad circles that when the Oanadiau I'acilic resumes its Imperial Limited service from coast to coast, no provision will he made to give the Kool enay country connection wilh the fast through trains, The statement will be received wilh surprise iu Ihis district, although Ross- landers will not lie seriously inconvenienced for the reason that ihey will be enabled to use Ihe American lines via the Spokane Falls k Norlhern. In Nelson some objection may he raised, all hough Nelsonltes could make the trip to Spokane and si ill reach eastern points ahead of the -Canadian I'acilic local trains, which they will he compelled lo take if the Imperial Limited service connection is abandoned. In pasl years since the Imperial Flyers were placed on Ihe main line, the Canadian I'acilic always took particular pains to cater for Ibe thtough passenger Ira Hie, originating In the Kontenays and advertised the sol vice lilior- ally. The change of front, this year is Inexplicalile save oil the ground that lhe through business from the coast polntH Is sufficient lo lax the accom. luodatlnn of the Flyers. Even on Ibis basis It Is difficult to understand why tbe big corporation shoulil take a step that, apparently means the abandon- incnl of this territory to ihe American "uimIs so far as through pit busincsj* is concerned, fur tliis is practically what the move means. Of the passenger trade original ing in l-Uss land and district and iu the Hoiindary, by far I he largest propoitii.n is ihrough business, and Ihis class of travellers will never be agreeable to patronising a local train with the spectacle of ji limited flyer wbirliiig-"pasr ar various way stations, The American roads will, of course, rejoice to note tbe decision to which lbe Canadian I'acilic luis come, for tbey will havea practical assurance of all Ihe through business that is not compelled to go over the Canadian road. From a sentimental standpoint the move is unfortunate, for there is undoubtedly a strong feeling among many persons that a Canadian road should he patronized, other things lieing equal. The latest move of the Canadian Pacific entirely alters matters, and sentiment will have but litlle weight when weighed in lhe balance with time saved in a transcontinental trip.—Rossland Miner.
