GRANBY
Some of the London papers in
commenting upon the affairs of the
London and Globe corporation ai
disclosed by the official receiver at
the first meeting of the creditors
last month endeavor, very lamely,
to apologize for Whitaker Wright's
•hare in the transactions, but the
evident leaning of such journals
points very clearly to there being
"good cause" for their expressed opinions. The Financial Times on
the other hand speaks very plainly
and uses most unmistakable language in describing the matters
brought out by the receiver. The
Times says in part:
"The statement which Mr.
Barnes, the official receiver, yesterday made to the shareholders of
the    London    &    Globe   Corpor-
pptaiion.    mm   .^.i.-ttirg^-rwHl-rrt
of crooked management and jugg-|
ling of accounts."
"Mr. Whitaker Wright is'shown
to have himself made large prolils
by his participation in some of
these deals. In the Le Roi No.2 business, for example, he made £.">(),■
000 through the medium. of 500J
shares."
The paper adds lhat there is no
proof that any of the other directors "unduly availed themselves
of their position to enrich them
selves. They seem, in fact, to have
been little better than lay ligures,
worked by Whitaker Wright. 'No
director, except Mr. Wright,' remarked Mr. Barnes 'knew what
was going on,' and he evoked the
cheers of the meeting by adding
'they ought to have known.' It is
simply incredible that such accountant jugglery occurred without
exciting tbe protest both of the
directors and of the auditors.'"
"It was related how a sum of
£250,000 had done service like a
stage army, first appearing in the
accounts of the London and Globe
then being transpired to those of
the B. A.C. and then when needful

LE ROI NO. 2
MEETING
What   a   Writer to   the
Financial Times Says
About the Company.
Under the signature of "Rossland" a correspondent of the London Financial Times asserts that
Le Roi No. 2, is now in a very
healthy condition indeed—Lord
Ernest Hamilton, F. C. D. Haggard and R. N. Hicks, bave kindly
come upon the board. The sums
owing to the Bank of Montreal and
the Le Roi smelter have been paid
off and the company is therefore
not only free from debt, but has a
few thousand pounds on hand.
There is also a small indebtedness of £15,000 due the company
by the B.A. C. which will be collected shortly, though the writer
does not say bow.
The output for October showed a
profit of $29,000, and for November
$40,000. A meeting is to be called
early in January when the accounts are to be submitted for tbe
financial year.
The mine is now earning about
£100,000 per annum, and £00,000
would pay dividends at the rate of
10 per cent, at par. That distribution at the current price of the
stock  would   yield   about  17  per
The correspondent nowhere suggests that the mine is unable to
pay muckers the current rate of
wages paid in every other mining
camp in the Kootenays, but pre
sumably the matter will come up
at the meeting mentioned.

being re-transferred, all with the cent
object of making tho published
balance sheets represent a position
of financial prosperity when the
real condition wus a state of insolvency.
"It was stated that in October
last year the then accountant to
the coupany laid a draft balance
sheet before Whitaker Wright
which showed the company to be
'absolutely and hopelessly insolvent', yet the printed statement of
accounts wuh sent out to the shareholders in December representing
the company—by means of such
tricks, as have been described—
to have a profit of £103,000, when
there was really a loss of £30,000.
The result was achieved by what
Mr. Barnes described as the inflation—be might almost have said
the manufacture—of assets."
"Mr. Barnes Btated that Whitaker
Wright—who   is   announced to be
seriously unwell—will beexamined I    All tho delicacies of   the season
at the bankruptcy court on the 15th Cll„ be found at lhe Kootenay. tf
Judging from his report, W. L.
McKenzie King, deputy minister
labor under the Laurier government, has a remarkable idea of his
functions.
The miners union here asked
Mr. King to Come and investigate
the trouble between the miners and
the mine managers under the terms
of the Dominion conciliation act.
The act in question provides for
investigation only when all parties
concerned consent to the proceedings.
When the deputy minister arrived here he quickly found that
the union—as they have always
been—were quite ready to submit
the whole difficulty to the department, but that the mine managers,
fearing an expose of the real faots
of the case, declined to be a party
to any enquiry what ever.
Presumably Mr. King's duties
were ended, but he seems to have
thought differently.
The deputy minister has taken
the full benefit of every statement
made to him by the union except
on two important points. 1. The
open violation of the alien labor
act whereby several hundred men
were fraudulently imported into
Kossland and, 2,the fact that every
other mining company in the province except the four or five in Rossland directly interested in the
fight against organized labor were
paying the scale of wages asked
for by the local union.
Mr. King is silent on both these
subjects and also on the contention of the managers though he
had long and frequent interviews
with them and their representatives during his Btay here.
On the other hand he goes minutely into the domestic affairs of
the union and into many other
matters including the situation—
as he understood it—at Northport.
Whatever the deputy minister
might have reported to hia superior in office his report as it appears
in the Labor Gazette is looked
upon by the local union men as
an exceedingly unfair document
The executive of the miners union are preparing a strong protest
to the department at Ottawa on
Mr. King's action in the matter
and in due course the statement
will appear in the press.
A meeting of the municipal
labor committee of fifteen is called
for tomorrow (Saturday) evening
at the committee rooms in the Old

members are requested to be present.

THE WAVE.
The returning wave of prosperity, of which we have all heard bo
much of late appears to have
struck the originator of the idea,
the Rossland Miner, rather   heav-
ily-
The size of the Whiner has just
been cut in two and it will now appear as a four in the place of an
eight paged daily.
Possibly if the "Miner's prosperity" continues the scab journal will be "enlarged" into a weekly and eventually be extended out
of existence.
Merchants and busineBB men
generally who are suffering from
an over dose of "scab times" are
urged to support in every way the
good work commenced and being
pushed along by the morning
Whiner.
A CONTRAST.
There are some good people who,
at certain times become unduly excited over the internal affairs of
labor unions, and who, at given
periods express great pain and astonishment at the manner in which
mere working people manage their
societies—the various branches of
the different trades unions.    '
When these periodical outbursts
of interest in the working man's
affairs take place, the executive
committee and the officials generally of the unions come in for a
great deal of scathing criticism.
The president, secretary, and
above all, the" walking delegate of
the unions have a very hard time
of it at the hands of these over-
zealous critics, who start out with
the assumption that any official of
a labor organization whether he is
in receipt of a salary or not is, by
the mere fact of his position, one
against whom many ivil things
could be proved, were opportunity
offered, and provided it can be
safely asserted that lie is paid for
his services nothing is too bad to
be said of him, and the trouble is
that really honest but unthinking
persons sometimes actually believe
what these very good people astert.
Laboring msn, therefore, who
are kindly schooled by these good
people to look with disfavor upon
those whom they ignorantly select
to manage their affairs,regard with
positive amazement the spectacle
presented to them when, by such
investigations as are now in progress in London, the curtain is
partially lifted for a moment in
tbe financial world and the scandalous operations of "an eminent financier" like Whitaker
Wright are disclosed.
Industrial managers generally
are of course looked upon with a
certain amount of possible suspicion by the toiler who comes
in direct contact with them and so
gets to know that they are always
morlftl, and sometimesvenal.
But that the head—tbe fountain
head—of great financial undertakings could by any possibility coolly
and safely travel alongside the
criminal code of the country after
the fashion disclosed in the investigation into the affairs of the London and Globe, 11. A. C. Standard
and other great corporations in
London seems almost incredible lo
the puzzled miner or arlizan who
rashly endeavors to reason the
matter out to its legitimate conclusion. Whitaker Wright in his
own person appears lo have combined everv conceivable office, and
lo bave been   president, secretary,
walking delegate and the whole
executive in one—with what delightful results we are now commencing to ascertain though as yet
we are only at the beginning of the
case.
The worker might perhaps look
on at the game with idle curiosity
if the unpleasant fact was not
pressed home to him that fraudulent or grossly bad management of
company's affairs, sooner or later,
invariably falls upon his shoulders
—always of course under some
other head—the drop in copper, or
barren ore for instance.
When the wage-earner really
grasps the fact that in order to
cover up "mistakes" in msnage-
ment or big steals amongst "the
push" he—the chief creator of the
wealth—Jb the firstone who is made
to suffer, he may be counted upon
to Bternly insist that the burden be
placed upon Bome other shoulders
than his, antl that in any case his
hard earned dividend in good
wages be paid him in full, whoever else may suffer loss.

NOTES AND COMMENTS.
It is estimated that J. D. Rockefeller will receive in dividends from
the Standard Oil company this
year about $16,000,000. At a recent meeting a quarterly dividend
of eight per cent, was declared,
bringing the total distribution for
the year up to 48 per cent, or nearly half of the capital stock, and
this is only one of many sources of
Mr. Rockefeller's income.
The specially favored merchants
who obtain orders from "the hill"
may be expected to shout for the
cause. The others will have to
get along as best they can. "Scab
times" are great. Have they made
you rich?
Like a great many official documents Mr. King's "report" is chiefly remarkable for what it does not
contain.

BARNEY'S LAMENT.
Sit down "Willie," my whitehaired
boy,
Cheer me up, for I want it badly.
You know I'm kicked out from the
Le Roi,
Can jou wonder I feel so sadly?
1 made a bluff that I'd resigned,
(For my fake 'twas hetter so,)
But tha crowd in London so disign-
ed
To sack me, so I bad te go.
I considered my position Sife for life,
So I was told by Whitaker Wright,
Now he, poor man, knows naught
but strife
And he and I are in a   wretched
plight.
I thought we should be (tin) gods
in the mining world;
Row in together and pull the ropes.
Make piles of money; Oh; my head
quite swirled.
To be rich as Creosus, I had perfect hopes.
I smirked and  grinned   with   my
-   oily smile;
I had "three square meals" and  a
bottle of wine.
So far as I knew lived in tip top
style
And thought the earth waB mostly
mine.
I flourished a cheque for a goodly
sum
In Rossland, to find  the greatest
liar;
For this low bred action blame  G.
H. Mumm. *
I   was bo excited, my brain   on
fire.
"I "bucked" the union to  cause a
strike
For a market rig to help the game.
Don't blame me, but my old friend
Wright;
He was dobs till Frecheville came.
1 felt then that my fate was sealed,
My power gone,   my   dream  diS'
polled.
I gnashed   my   teeth,   my brain
quite reeled;
To tender my resignation I was
compelled.
What I don't like iB to see men
smile.
Wink their eyes and say "serves
bim right;
Another failure in running a mine
He'll take refuge in sudden flight."
The plum I've lost, but as a sop in
the pan
They make me chief of   Number
Two.
This small position, accept I  never
can,
Its such a come down  from  my
point of view.
No Willie, I'll pack my trunk
And elsewhere try  to run another
show.
But I feel   despondent   and   in a
funk.
Lest  mine men  now  my   record
know.
"Barney" aaid Willie, "you've always been my friend.
We've worked together for years
and years;
And when you want me be sure
and send—
So long old boy; excuse these
tears."

__ ci. Am.   Geo. H • Green Prop,
The Calumet & Hecla Mining
company is to be equipped with a
sand or refuse wheel which will be
the largest in the world. The
wheel when in operation will make
ten revolutions a minute and will
remove 5500 buckets of refuse in
that time. The wheel will measure sixty-five feet at its greatest
diameter, and its estimated weight
exclusive of bearings and supports
is fifty tone. The shaft will be
twenty-seven feet long, thirty-two
inches in diameter, with a twenty-
six inch hole through the centre
and weighs forty-two thousand
pounds- The structure is built on
the same principle as the early
bicycle wheel, which was known as
the "spider" wheel. When the
wheel is in position at the mine it
will be driven by an electric motor
of about seven hundred horse
power. The Scientific American of
New York gives a full page illustration of this ponderous giant
wheel.
