mines at Nanaimo, The miners
aro asking for a general advance from March 1st of from
75 to 80 cents a ton, and 25 cents
per day extra for using safety

be got under as quickly with

DoTninion Copper Co. has Issued
New:-Bonds».
It is reported'that the Doniinion.Oopper Co., JXtt., owning the
Brooklyn grotip loi gold-Hopper
clninis in Phonenix camp, at a
meeting ' recently ' Wild "• at
Toronto,'decided practically to
issue bonds to the extent of
$100,000. The issue is for the
purposo of paying oil' the exist
ing indebtedness amounting i
about $50,000, the balance, it
is said, to be placed in tho teens-! possible
ury of the company as a cash
reserve. Old shareholders are
to be given thefirstpppqrtunity
to purchase the boml issue.
The Dominion Copper Co.
has a capital of $5,000,000. most the sine
of which is owned by a few individuals in Toroilto. including
1). D. Mann, Win. McKen/.ie,
senator Cox, Holier! Jaffray
nnd some others.   Itis   practi-
er would leave a
of three hundred
l.-ti's oii'ft.'iiiil aftor   settling
bills,declared Anthony McMillan, thei'managing director of
the   t. .np.iny   at  tlio annual
meeting   held  January   30 in
Loudon.   In the course   bf   a
long speech Mr. McMillan   said:
"The  Bank  of Montrt.il has
stood loyally by the Company,
rendering it tho greatest ass'st-
ance, and our warnn s! thanks
are duo the" bank,   The December accounts have not yet arrived from  liossland.     Therefore.
1 bava not exact details, but  on
December 31 there   were floating .   liabilities   ninounting   to
about £20,000, presjinably connected with such items as accrued wages and accounts, interest,
taxes.etc..atXortlip'irf and Hossland.    At tbe same date (here
was an   advance   of   between
jUO.OOO    and     £10,000    secured
on the second class ore dump at
the Le Roi   mine,  which  is retired gradually t.ut of the profits derived from the sales of oro
therefrom.   Since May lost tbis
particular advance has been reduced -by about £10,000i    Apart
from this, there   is  not today
one penny of debt so far as the
01 lie Roi mine is concerned.   To
nm!:e this matter still clearer, if
"ic position viewed  in
the light  of the latest advice
from our manager appears io 1 e
tbis, that if we choose to suspend
operations for a few weeks and
clear up everything on hand at
er.  and   pay   off   the
bank,  we   should   then   have
about £00,000to the good in cash,
in addition to the mine and its
machinery, the smelter and  its
equipment, lands and quarries."

The election takes place on

There is as yet no indicatioiii
of the strike at the Crow's Nest
l'ass Coal Co's mines being settled in the   immediate  future,
and the trouble is causing considerable    uneasiness    in   the
Boundary country, whero min
ing and smelting are rather ex
tenstvely carried on.   The three j
Hoiindary smelters will all have
been shut down in two weeks
time unless the difficulty   s immediately settled.   Already the
one at Greenwood has suspended operations, and it  s   understood that the Granby cun only
hold out for ahout a week.   Although the Boundary Falls one
was fortunate in getting a supply before the strike occurred,
yet this supply will soon be consumed and unless more can  be
obtained it  will have to close
down as well.   There has been
some bilk of obtaining fu.i from
Nanaimo, but judging from the
numerous complaints that have
been made in   the past about
tins high rate for transportation
from the Crow's Nest mines, it
would seem thut the rate from
Nanaimo would be prohibitive.
A'« doubt tl,0 0. P. K, Co. would
do all in its power to meet the
requirements of tliesnieltermen
as it seriously affects its traffic
to have tbe mines and smelters
closed, but It is very doubtful
if the C. P. U. io ;„ .. -jusltlon to
haul fuel from the coast, even if
it could Iw obtained, to keep all
the smelters going, for it is well
known that the company has of
lute hod all it could do to handle
its traffic with hauling the coke
from the  Crow's   Nest mines,
ami even then many complaints
about a shortage of cars  have
been heard.   It would   be   far
better if all efforts  were put
forth to satisfactorily settle the
strike   rather than    to  adopt
ia nuts of trying  to get   along
■with the strike in force.

Tlio report sent out from

tlie Mother Lode mine iti cloned
down is incorrect. Ah it wus
necesHury to stop the bitf roek
crusher for it few iluyn to effect
l-opiiirH ahd alterations about
one third of the men wore laid
(iff, but the other two-thirds are
nt work, and ho faritn in Htp.cn-
eiit known will remain employed. Should the coal miner.'
strike lie indefinitely continued
the mine will in all probability
be shut down, but this is a contingency not yet being taken into account.
Has been Called ofl.
Vk.Tohia, Feb. 17.--The arrangement for a saw-off between Prior and Patterson,
which were practically concluded sonio time since, are all off
again. To-day the government
pressed for a date for the Patterson ease to be heard to he set
at once, but .Judge Drake refused. Premier Prior himself
is ill and confined to his house.
There is a strong feeling here
among business men that the
minister of mines should personally visit Fernie and Nanaimo and attempt to solve the
troubles there, as their continuance will be disastrous to business.

The school where thorough work is clone; where the '.reason
s always given; where co fi 1 ce is developed ; where Book-
KKKi'iNt; is taught exactly as books are being kept in business ;
where Siioktiianu is scientific ; where penm 1 ship is at its
best; where merit is the standard ; where the training in Civil Skrvick, Tkmjgraphy, English and Cartooning wakes up
students, develops their powers and teaches them howto be
successful, No argument is so eloquent as the record of
things well done. No mortgage can corrupt, no thief can
break through and steal the knowledge of How to Do. When
you know what a school can do for you by what it has done for
others is it better to trust to luck? Is it wiser to guess?
