KITCHENER
IRON MINES
Work Closed  Down) for
the Winttr-What the
Manager Says.
The iron mines near Kitchener
have been closed down for the
winter owing to the snow which
has fallen to the depth of fully two
feet. Work, however, will be resumed in the spring just as soon as
the weather will permit. Since
May last $30,000 has been spent in
development. This work consists
of two shafts, a tunnel,crosscutting,
open cuts and diamond drill borings.
Some time ago it was a question
of quantity of ore and not of its
quality, now the question of quantity is determined as it is certainly
large and satisfactory. There are
five ledges of iron which aggregate in width 60 feet. The ledge
which the shafts are on is 18 feet
wide. The quality of the ore is
equal to the best. It carries 65
per cent iron and there is scarcely
a trace of sulphur and phosphorous, while the silica runs from five
to 10 per cent.
There is a steam hoist, a diamond
drill and an automatic fan all
ready for the next season when
operations begin, which will be
just as soon as the weather permits.
Operations will then be conducted
on a much larger scale than they
were during the present year. The
development next year will determine what will be done with the
property and its product. The
manager says he is very well pleased with the results so far attained.

The Demands of a Scab Union at
Northport.
LEBARTHE'S REASONABLE REQUEST
Mr. Frecheville's Dilemma-Up Against a New Propo-
sition-A Scab Combine-The Manager Goes
Back to Trail-What Next?
Northport, Wash., Nov. 8.—The
situation at the smelter here during the past two days has been a
decidedly interesting one, for all
concerned. .
r Jul.■ I.tiburthe ArrWel.
The day before yesterday Jules
Labarthe, the new smelter manager came down from Trail to take
charge. With him were William
Chambers, tbe new superintendent,
and William Hall and Evan Williams, general foremen. They at
once went to the Le Roi smelter
and proceeded to inspect the plant.
What Ha Wanted.
Labarthe made no definite offer
to the union men, but it is said
that as he desired to make a name
for himself and for the concern under his management, he stipulated
on being engaged that he should
have a free hand at the outset, and
that the smelter should be overhauled and put in shape, so that
at the least he should start fair?
He also wanted to engage only
really good men, and openly said
that he did not care whether they
were union men or not.
HI. KapuUtton.
Many of the locked-out union
men had worked under Labarthe
at Trail, and although there is not
a union there everything has
worked smoothly, and the men had
no complaints. Consequently the
men here were delighted with the
departure of Bela Kadish and the
advent of the new manager.
A Scab Union.
The miscellaneous herd of Missourians and general hoboes that
have been gathered here to butcher
the smelter plant,became thoroughly alarmed at their probable fate,
and for the fourth time they
gathered up their belongings and
prepared for trouble; in fact they
formed themselves into a temporary scab union tor mutual protection, and served their demands on
the new manager.
What Happanad.
Just what took place is not officially known but Mr. Frecheville
came down yesterday and met the
new union and Mr. Labarthe. It
is understood that the London director wanted the scabs retained
until at least the spring as they
were a long way from home and
the winter is commencing.
Labartha Waa Firm.
The new manager is said to have
pleaded that as he wished to make
a success, and a paying proposition
of the smelter, the original agreement to be given a free hand in
the selection of good workers
should be adhered to. If he did
not succeed in his management
the blame would rest on his shoulders and all he asked was fair
play.
Mr. Fraohavilla'a Dllamma.
Mr. Frecheville appears to have
been impressed by the demands
of the scabs. He urged, it is said,
that the closing down of the smelter would be contrued into an admission of weakness ly the looked
out union men and if any .of the
present lot were discharged they
would come on the company's
hands any way.
Both Ware Finn.
After several conferences Labarthe
and his three assistants withdrew
and arranged by wire to re-occupy
their former positions at the Trail
smelter where Manager Aldridge
will doubtless welcome them
back today. They all leave
on this afternoon's train and will
go direct to Trail.
What Naxt.
Labarthe's requests were reasonable and only such as any level
headed manager would ask. No
promise of any kind was made
to the union men nor did they
ask for any. It is not considered
possible that any first-class
smelter manager would accept
the position on any different
terms. Mr. Frecheville has bowed
to the wishes of the scab union
and lost an admittedly competent
manager. His next step is not
known.
FEELING
INTENSE
Fisherman  at the Coast
Are   Angry-Appeal
to Ottawa.
Vancouver, Nov. 8.—Many members of the Fishermen's union here
have expressed themselves as believing that a certain supreme
court judge in addressing the jury
in the fishermen's kidnapping case,
was prejudiced against the prisoners and used language he waB not
justified in using. J. H. Watson,
of the Canadian customs, who is a
member of the executive
council, said today that
representations would be made to
Ottawa regarding the language
used in this charge to the jury.
On the other hand certain heads of
industries say labor unionism is so
strong here that they strive to control governments and courts. The
feeling at present is intense.
Fishermen declined to join the navy
league or to take part in the celebration to Prince George owing to
their hostility to the Imperial
authorities in admitting Japanese
to British Columbia.

BIG NEW YORK BATTLE OVER
No Comfort for Croker in England-
Bright Outlook for Better
Government.
London, Nov. 8.—The nost vindictive opponents of Tammany
Hall in the thick of the campaign
could not have painted the organization in blacker colors than do the
editorial writers in the afternoon
papers here today in congratulating
New York City on the result of the
election.
"The success of Seth Low is an
event on which every friend of America and every lover of
virtue and honesty any
where has good reasons to
raise paens of congratulation,"
says the St. James Gazette, adding,
"It is the greatest blow yet
struck at the most nefariou. system
of organized, triumphant villainy
foisted on a civilized community by a gang of
corrupt blackmailers. But the
terific power of Buch an organization can only be finally crushed
by a counter organization and
equally far-reaching energy."
The Pall Mall Gazette says:
"The gods that preside over honest,
government deserve a libation
from (.,cry good citizen throughout
the world."
The Westminster Gazette say:
"The New Yorker seems at last
to have grasped that he has a
citizen's responsibility for the
good government of his city
With a president who has declared
against the spoils system, and a
de-Tammanyized Now York, the
administrative outlook for the
United States is brighter than for
a long time past.

DAY LABOR
AT OTTAWA
Government Asked to Consider the Proposition-
Mr. Tarte's Reply.
Ottawa, Nov. 8.—A committee
from the Allied Trades and Labor
association of Ottawa waited on
the Minister of public works and
asked that an experiment of day
labor be tried on new buildings,
such as the mint and geological
museum, which are about to be
erected in Ottawa. They argued
that the best work was done by day
labor.
Hon. J. I. Tarte pointed out
that he had always been in favor
of day labor, and had done a good
deal of work in this way, but there
was the government and house of
commons to be dealt with. He
was but a very humble member
of tho administration. Thero were
parts of the country where he
would not recommend day labor,
but generally speaking he favored
it. He would do what he could for
them.

I  Etcher, Manager, P O. box 558, Rosslniid, B. C
MR. TROl'BLK MAKER.
News was received in Rossland
yo_terday from London which
makes it very clear, that the review of the situation here, which
appeared in these columns two
two days ago when the official confirmation of the Le Roi changes
was announced, was an absolutely
correct one with a Bingle exception.
We understand now that the
utmost consideration has been
shown the ex-manager of the Le
Roi during the investigation of the
past management of the mine and
of the smelter, now drawing to a
close on the hill. If Mr. Macdonald was permitted to put in hiB
resignation, it was purely a formal act, allowed under the circumstances by the new control. In
good truth Bernard Macdonald was
incontinently "fired" from the Le
Roi with all his following, and the
further removals which will take
place shortlj, will demonstrate
clearly that no one who has ever
so remotely been connected with
the Whitaker Wright outfit, will
be permitted to remain in the employment of the Le Roi   company.
Mr. Frecheville may, however,
have good reaBon to regret the leniency he haB so decently shown to
the ex-manager of his company.
Mr. Macdonald,smarting under the
pain of defeat and practically ignominious expulsion, has already
shown hiB hand. The article in
this morning's Miner on the alleged situation at Northport yeBter-
day is a fair Bample of what Mr.
Frecheville may expect for the
future from Mr. Macdonald's newspaper.
Ever since last May, when the
rouble at the smelter began, any
j tove at all likely to result in the
1 estoration of peace and good feel-
mg here ha_ always aroused tbe
ire and practical resentment of
Bernard Macdonald. For months
he has actively interfered again
and again and made it impossible
to get a settlement of all our troubles. He is out of the Le Roi now
but it is still possible for him to
do us all a good deal of harm yet,
and evidently all he asks is the opportunity.
Mr. Bratnober and his friends
would have been wise if they had
turned down Mr. Trouble Maker
a good deal more emphatically than
they have so far done.
In his new role the cx-manager
should not beable to count on the
support and sympathy which ho
haB received up to the present
time from some more or less influential person? down town. What
ever excuse might have been alleged for his insane antagonism to all
organized labor in tho past, his
present policy, purely a personal
one, is so distinctly against thc
beBt interests of the camp that
there should bo a united campaign
against it, as well as against the
little circle of discredited knockers
who are doing their beBt to keep us
all in hot water.
THE JUSTICE MILL.
It is claimed that partiality is
shown in the collections of fines
imposed by the police authorities.
The case of the recent Bcab whiskey
party at the Josie boarding house
is cited as an example. The wind-
up of this scab social function resulted in several of the leaders in
the affair appearing before the
police magistrate and being fined.
The fines, it ia said, were not paid,
time being generously given to thc
delinquents  who  t-to  paying off
their indebtedness by degrees
through the medium of Chief
Vaughn, who kindly acts aB collector on this special occasion.
A sample of the reverse is the
case, of a man who is not a scab,
but who, having infringed on the
law of the lnnd by getting drunk,
was run in, and who is now serving
out his sentence in default of cash
payment. Chief Vaughan denies
his share of the transaction, and
thc authorities say that where there
is any reasonable chance of a culprit paying his fine ho is given
time so as to savo tho city the expense of hoarding him, and at the
same time to add a mite to the
sadly depleted city treasury.
This wise economic plan is all
very well when the offender is a
known resident here and the offence a comparatively trivial one.
The Josie men arc for the most
part transients at the best and
their "carnival" might very will
have resulted in the departure
for good off this sphere of one or
more of them, aud the mild justice
dealt out to this specially favored
class by the authorities will deepen
the impression already existing
that justice is not administered in
thiB city as it should be.

I cannot tell vou how thankful I feel
for the good derived from it. I was a

commenced taking it about the first of November. I very soon noticed a radical
improvement. After using ont bottle her Asthma has disappeared and she is entirely free from all symtoms. I feel that I can consistently recommend the medicine to all who are afflicted with this distressing disease.

A BRIGHT FUTURE
Birch Creek Placer District
Up North.
MODERN METHODS TO BE USED
An Hour of labor Costs  $1.20-
Ihirty Ounces to the Box
Length.
F. J. Dinan has returned to Dawson from a prolonged trip in the
Birch creek placer district, the old
Yukon camp, Beventy-five miles
back of Circle City. He predicts
that the place has a bright future
under the modern method of mining. Several hundred men were
engaged in working on the various
streams tributary to Birch this
summer, and every operator engaged made something, after having paid $1.20 an hour for labor.
The gold is worth more than $19
an ounce Mr. Dinan, in a special
letter, says:
"This season seventy-five men
were engaged on Eagle creek, on
Mastodon 120, on Miller 50 and a
number on Beveral other streams
flowing into Birch,
"Thirty ounces to the box length
was taken from Sutter's claim on
No. 6 above on Eagle creek every
eight days, with five men Bhoveling
in during the day and five at night.
Sutter made a clean profit this
summer of $6,000. Others did almost as well.
"From Circle to Eagle creek,
seventy-five miles, the charge for
rteighting is 30 cents a pound, and
to Miller, fifty-five miles, it is 25
cents.
"With the reduoed cost of supplies since the early days of the
camp, and the modern methods of
mining in the north, the Birch
creek district should prove a fine
producer. It is not exceptionally
rich, nor is it deep, like the Klondike, but it has gold everywhere,
including the streams I have mentioned. Twelve feet is the deepest
and in many places it is not that
