Ninety-fivo men have quit work at the Arlington mine, Slocan lako. The trouble appears to have originated in the first instance over the food supplied. On last Sunday night Dan Harrington, the foreman, entered the mess-house,'where a number of the men were, and remarked: "If any of you men nre dissatisfied wilh the grub, you can call at the office and get your time." This the men eonstrued as a ease of "tire." The men sent a message to Slocan City for J. V. Purviance, the president of the local Miners' union. When he arrived, Superintendent DnBoin refused to see him. The men then appointed a committee of three to wait on DuBois. in order to try and adjust the difficulty. The -committee was told that I lie eight Kossland men must go. This was reported to the men, and the eight from Kossland on hearing the report said they would willingly go, so that the others could remain al work. This was not at all satisfactory to Harrington, the foreman, who insisted the whole day shift (fill men) Bhould go. The day shifl took Harrington at his word) considered themselves discharged, and ealleil for their time. The night shift, on hearing what the day shift had done, concluded they dial not want any more of Mr. Harrington in theirs, and they also quit. Every man employed at the mine, except the cook's crew and the office slaff, quit. Ninety-live in all went down the hill to Slocan City and got their cheeks. There is said to be more or less friction between ihesuperintendent and the managing director, and in consequence of ihis friction things have not been running smoothly at the mine for some time.

NORTHPORT SITUATION Two More Freeze Ups-Ru- mor of Radish's Discharge. FORTY-TWO LOST Some Incidents of the Islander Wreck. WHAT TKE SURVIVORS SAY Gaptaih Foote Did Not Commit Suicide—Full Speed in a Fog- Boats Mismanaged. Northport, Aug. 20.—(Special). No. 5 furnace at the smelter was frozen again yesterday from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m., and No.2 furnace from 11 a.m. until il p.m. There have been no new arrivals at the smelter, but the men brought here from a distance continue to drop out in small bunches. It is rumored today lhat Kadish will be let out shortly, and that other discharges will quickly follow. Vancouver, August 20.—The steamer Farallon arrived at noon yesterday from the scene of the wreck of the Islander. The ollicial statement of the number of deaths is 42. Twenty five men of the crew and 30 of the Islander's passengers came by the Farallon. There is no change in the condition of affairs at (he wreck. Statements of the pabsengcrs show that Captain Foote did not commit suicide, but was exhausted and compelled to let go his hold on tho raft to which he had been clinging. He threw up his arms and his lifebelt slipped as he sank. Some of the passengers declare that there was no justification for the Islander to have been running at full speed through a thick fog. She was going 15 1-2 knots and when lhe passengers got out on the deck they could not see more than a dozen feet. Then it is staled that if lifeboats hud heen better directed and stood Ity, the result, would have been different. A boal which was built to carry 45 people left and went ashore with ns lew as six or seven persons, another with JH when there wereslill ninny men in the water who were so badly chilled that they sank and were drowned. Men were unable to endure the terrible exposure. Price Five Cents! A SUDDEN ILLNESS'. Mr. Arthur Mural, I, |„ „ Very CrltlCHl Cunalitlon. IjAbout 11 o'clock yesterday morning Mr. Arthur Marsh, the well known mining man of this city, was taken seriously ill at his residence on East Le Roi avenue. His condition has greatly improved since last evening hut he is still in a critical slate. Mr. Marsh com plained of not feeling well yesterday morning and it jvas thought was taking a quiet sleep, but early in the afternoon when Dr. Keller, who was leaving town, called to say good bye, it was ascertained that Mr. Marsh_had suffered a Blroke ofappoplexy. The sick man was at once taken to his room and restoratives were administered. About 8 o'clock he recovered consciousness, passed a fairly good night and this morning was resting somewhat easier. Mr. Marsh, who is very fond of cricket, recently played a game against Nelson during one of the unusually hot days we have had of late, and he subsequently complained greatly of the effect of I lie sun during the game. His speedy recovery is hopefully looked for by his many fricnd3 and acquaintances. CHEERED THE BOAT Shamrock II Well Received in New York-Waiting for Lipton. New York, August 20.— Despite the disagreeable weather there was a crowd of boats about the Shiuii- rock U off Stapleton all day today. All lhe excursion steamers and tin; tegular route boats ran close to the challenger during the day to give tlie passengers a chance to see Sir Thomas .Upton's yacht, The bands invariably played either "TJie, wearing of the green" or "God save the King," and the challenger was cheered repeatedly, The crew, including Captain Syca- mour, remained on board the tender Porto Rico all day, only an anchor watch of three men being on board thc Shamrock. The Cheers jor the Shamrock were returned from the lender. The James A. Lawrence, with Mr. Barrie and others on board, went down to Sandy Hook during the day and picked out the point at which the mooring buoy will be placed for the Shamrock and her consorts. Captain Matthcvs of the Erin, said it was unlikely the Shamrock would bo given a practice spin .until tho .arrival of "the governor." It appeared to be the desire of all that Sir Thomas should inspect his boat before she is sent out. THEY MUST ARBITRATE San Francisco Merchants Take a Hand--A Fair Settlement. San Francisco, Aug 20.—Retail merchants, embracing all branches of service, gathered at Native Sons' ball last night to discuss ways and means fair bringing the strike to a Bpeedy termination. A number of addresses were made and much interest was manifested in the proceedings. The practical result of tho meeting was the adoption of the following resolu- 111 tion: "Resolved, That if the Employers' association shall refu *e I y Wednesday night, August 21-t, to meet with representatives of organized labor fair the purpose ol ciming lo a fair and equitable adj JBlnient o( existing difficulties and thus restoro industrial aotiv- ity, we, the inn-chants of San Francisco, will refuse (odea,! with such as we know to bo members of said association."

O. box 558. Rossland, B. C GROSSLY UNFAIR. In all the strikeB and labor disputes just now in progress in the United States and Canada the union men have so far maintained their good record for law and order. We all know how it has been in this city and in Northport. In the latter place the State labor commissioner, on the occasion of his visit last week paid a high compliment to the union men of the Smelter towu for the way they had conducted the dispute and themselves under very trying circumstances. Whatever disturbances have arisen in Northport have been directly cauBed by the action of Superintendent Bela Kadish and his armed guards and by some of the undesirable element brought to the smelter town by the manager of the Le Roi to take the place at the smelter of the old em- , ployes. The management is not able to get decent workers to remain on the job once the men understand the situation,and the consequence is that only a distinctly objectionable lot of hands are got together, and those men can be counted upon to cause endless trouble to the Le Roi company, the strikers,and the community generally. The Miner wrapped the Union Jack very lovingly around the sacred person of the scab and proclaimed its unalterable devotion to the species generally, but looking back over the Horn incident we do not fancy that Mr. Bernard Macdonald, his publication, the RosBland Miner, or the learned legal light, who, it is said, induced the provincial attorney-general to appoint him to prosecute the case in question as well as the Beamish case, can regard the proceeding with equanimity. We are only at the commencement of the struggle and so far the honors in the game are clearly on the side of the union. Every union man in this country should cut out and paste in his hat the following extract from the Rossland Miner of August 16th: "It will hardly be denied by the Btaunchest advocates of unionism that its strongest weapons in a fight to gain its ends are coercion and intimidation." It is a shameful thing surely that the official organ and private property of Bernard Macdonald should openly slander unionism in this fashion and then appeal to the community for approval and support, and threaten to blackmail any one who withdraws from its colnmns. Locally Mr. Macdonald's ncws- . paper can do no harm, because its true character is now too well known and understood. But out- Bide the camp it is still in a position to do the whole community a great deal of harm. The disgracefully unfair way in which the incident of Saturday week was treated throughout by the Rossland Miner should turn all right thinking people Btill more strongly against' the paper and its owner. A HOPED FOR CHANGE. It is most improbable that with the shocking disclosures brought to lfght in London financial circles in the investigation of the Whitaker Wright companies that the chief conspirator there can retain control of the Le Roi group here very much longer. With the advent of a new directorate we may rightly Buppose a new order of things in this camp, If rep- resentatives from London come out here to make an impartial investigation it is almost certain that the manager of the Lo Roi will be retired from his present position and that the existing labor troubles, both at Northport and in this camp, will be promptly settled, so far as the Le Roi group of mines is concerned. Until some such change takes place at headquarters no one looks for an improvement here, and the Miner is welcome to all the joy it can extract from the situation. NOTES AND COMMENTS. A marked copy of the Vancouver Province will teach Rudyard Kipling that a lion does not have to be dead in order to enjoy the felicity of being kicked hy a living donkey. —Telegram. PerhapB the most gratifying triumph of the Invader is the fact that the eontest was by amateurs. The skippers and the bulk of the crews of the two yachts are men to whom sailing is a pastime and not a business.—Globe. Two men having been arrested in Rossland for hooting a "scab." The Dunsmuir Government has placed their prosecution in the hands of the attorney to one of the corporations through whose initiative the labor trouble has arisen. Men who break the peace should be prosecuted, but in doing so the government should not be represented by the paid attorney who is directing the union smashing cam- pain of the corporations.—Victoria Post. The Canada's Cup is a trophy to which we Canadians feel peculiarly attached, and its home-coming— for as such we view it—is a subject for great pleasure. The planning of the yacht was a fine example of shrewd prevision, and the handling of the vessel upon the course was a triumph of skill alike with sheet and with tille. Mr. Gooderham, Mr. Jarvis and the rest of the syndicate, of the crew and ot the fine yachting constituency which they represent, deserve the heartfelt congratulations of all Canadians. Exchange.

The London Truth aBserts that at least three syndicates — all strongly anti Whitaker Wright concerns—are trying to get control of the Lo Roi group. Any change would bo welcomed, but the movement indicates that some people aro fully alive to the great value of the mines in question.

C, AUGUST 20, ioot A DIRECT FRAUD Reckless Gambling, Tortuous Financial Methods. WRI'HT'S STOCK OPERATIONS am Doctoiing Balance Sheets- Way to Pay Old Debts- Disclosures. -A New More The official receiver of the B. A. C. states in Ilia lirst report: "The London and Globe, throughout the history of the British America Corporation, seems to have shared all the gains, but it has been extremely irregular in sharing the expense, and on no single occasion has lhe London and Globe shared in tbe actual losses." The report in question shows that in June and July, 1900, three companies, Le Roi No. 2, Hossland Gieat Western, and Kootenay Mining, were floated, which purchased nearly the whole of the property belonging to the West Le Hoi, East Le Roi, and Columbia- Kootenay companies. The aggregate purchase price amounted to £1,350,000, which was paid to the 1!. A. C. in cash. In each case the parent company retained a small amount of property. Having parted with practically all their valuable assets, these three parent companies should have been liquidated, but instead of that their shares remained lo swell the paper assets of the B. A. C, mid the London and Globe. The transaction which took place bitween the London and Globeand the B. A. C. during November and December last year, when the London and Globe was carrying on ils huge market operations in Lake Views, and also doctoring its balance sheet for presentation tai i's shareholders, disoloses operations bitween the two companies which can only be characterised as a direct fraud on the shareholders of the B. A. I'. According to the official receiver's returns tbe balance due at the beginning of November, 1900, from the London and Globe to the British America Corporation was £941,013; this no doubt was cash borrowed from the B. A. C. after lhe successful Hota- tiod of the three Rossland companies, which, of course, should have gone to the shareholders in the B. A. C. in the form of dividends. The enormous debt account was changed in iho course of a few weeks to the credit account of over £10,000, so that on the date of the London and Globe balance sheet, December 5th, 1900, the B. A. C. instead of being a creditor for £941,000, was a debtor to tlie London and Globe of over £10,000. Tbe London and Globe wilted out £200.000 oi its liabilities by handing over 2)0,000. shares of the West Le Roi, a practically defunct company. A further sum of £145,- 000 was wiped out by hand ing over that number of "shares in the Col- umbia-Koo'.enay. By these two transactions alone £345,000 which should have been in the coffers of the B. A. C. in hard cash were represented by shares which are not worth that number af ha'pence. For the purpose of the Globe balance sheet, the B, A. C. was made to take over a large number of shares purchased in the market by the London and Globe and not paid for, thus transferring the liability to the B.A. C. In, January, after (be publication of the balance sheet, these shares were re-transferred to the London and Globe. The ullicial receiver reports that he has in his possession 205 contracts notes from brokers concerning orders given by the London and Globe, and these transactions were all transferred to the' B. A. C. and at a board meeting subsequently help a resolution was issued hy the B. A. C. accepting these contracts for its own. The disclosures concerning Mr, Whitaker Wright's financial operations in the case of the Standard Exploratian company, which were made this week by the official receiver, disclose the same reckless gambling and tortuous financial methods.
