' CALL FOR A TRIAL BOX.
The outlook for Poplar Creek ia
very bright, aayB J. L. Whitney,
who has just returned from there,
and mnoh will be accomplished
in that camp this season. The
town is growing rapidly and the
streets are being cleared and pat
in good oondition. A telegraph
offioe hae been established, wbioh
is greatly appreciated by the citizens. It ia understood that the
C. ?. R. has selected a site for a
depot, west of the platform now in
use, and will shortly ereot a build
ing. Many who own mining claims
bave started development work,
and aome very important finds
have been made.
Mr. Spiers haa nnoovered a fine
body of galena ore on hia property,
next to the Marquis & Qilbert
olaims.
Work has been started on ths
Riverside olaim, and the ledge
shows Bome good looking ore mixed with white quartz.
The Red Rock ia also under development, and has a good showing on the upper ledge.
The usual amount of work ia
going on at the Marquia & Qilbert
property, the Swede group.
A shaft ia being sunk on the
Luoky Jaok, whioh is now down
80 feet, and some splendid ore ia
being hoisted. Gold oan be panned
from the oountry rook at different
plaoes for a distance of 200 feet
from the vein.
The tunnel on the Home Run is
in a distance of 100 feet, and a
oontraot has been made foi an additional 100 feet. The dyke has
been out through, and the face of
the tunnel shows some nioe looking
ore mixed with quartz oarrying
iron and gold. Farther on this
tunnel will'cut some veins whioh
showed ore of fabulous riohneas on
the surfaoe.
The faot that gold oan be
panned irom the sohist, whioh
composes a large percentage ot this
seotion, is a surprise to many, and
to what extent the gold exists in
it is not yet known, Bul if it is
found to extend generally through
the oountry, the magnitude of the
disoovery can hardly be realized.
That Poplar ia destined to make
a great mining oamp ia not doubted by those who are in a poeition to
know, and things will "hum" up
there sooner or later.
Some very important strikes
have reoently been made whioh
have not been given to the publio,
for reasons best known to (hose
interested. Mr. Whitney says he
saw some magnificent rook being
brought away, containing a large
amount of gold, and was assured
that there waB a large quantity
where  it oame from.  In faot the

London, May 26.—The correspondent of the Times, on board the
new steamer Haimun, under the
date of May 24, says he understands that the restrictions on his
movements will be removed May
30. He says that he bears that
the delay in the Japanese occupation of Dalny arises from the intricate nature of the nvne fields,
whioh prevents adequate naval cooperation. Tbe trebling of tbe

Chefoo, May 26—Heavy firing
wai heard in the direction of Port
Arthur yesterday, indicating tbat
a land attack had commenced, as
the Japanese fleet ie not to be seen
off Port Arthur. Dalny refugees
Bay that General Stoesssl has
taken all the cash from tbe Port
Arthur and Dalny banks so tbat
the depositors are unable to cat-h

Chefoo, May 26 —Four Japanese
cruisers and a fleet of torpedo
boats and torpedo boat destroy ere
passed midway between Port
Arthur and the Miaotao islands at
4 o'clock thia morning, but no
sounds of firing have yet been
heard. The Russians again bave
removed their guns and troops to

Seoul, May 26.—Colonel Kisb*
ote's column arrived at Niuyang
on May 17 and found the Russians
had divided, one party going north
west and other going eaat. The

impoeaible for tbe Japanese in

Tbe Belgian. German, Frenoh

announced their intention of oarrying passengers from Liverpool to

satchels containing it were sufficiently kno n by their heft to contain something more than ordinary.
After oertain things have been accomplished, and transactions made
there iB no doubt that this ruh
find will be made known to the
publio.
For several milea up and down
Lardo river, each way from Poplar,
many good diecoveries have already been made this season, and
as  the snow disappears,  in   the
higher places, there is no doubt,
with the large army of eager pros-
peotors now upon the ground, that
others equally important will be
made as tbe summer advanoes.
It looks, says Mr. Whitney,
that this is an excellent season for
investors to take hold of Poplar
property.

A SUNDAY TRAIN
Tuesday last waB a public holiday and not being Sunday a train
left here in the morning for Rob-
Ion ahd Nelson. The consequence
was that upwards of 50 people left
for a day's outing at Trail and
along the Columbia generally
taking in the beautiful country
and fishing along the banks of the
grind river. At nightfall another
train, the usual one, conveyed the
holiday makers home.
Now were this train run on Sun-
slay daring the Bummer months
there is no doubt that the trippers
wonld be an increasing number
•nd the outlay cf the C. P. R
wonld be more than recouped
There would indeed be plenty of
time for people to take a run to
Bonnington or Nelson and enj >y

lake and in the Kootenay river

that might be disregarded.
said beoause the weekly holiday
will not be permitted to interfere
with tbe pay day late hours.
As far as the employer is concerned he loses nothing by his
liberality. Iii fact he gets a better
servioe [out of hiB refreshed employees. Iu Sumatra, within the
writer's knowledge.Jthe Dutoh tobacco fields work from six to six
every day including Sunday excepting a half day on the 15th and
laBt day of the month. The English firms work from six to fivo
and make the day shorter on
Sunday. Yet a glance at
the shareholding lists will show
that      the Knglish firms
are ahead of their Dutoh
rivals, for one result of the Dutch
system is that there ia a constant
ohange in the European superin
tendenoe and conatant riots among
the Chinese coolies. Yet of the
two the Hollanders oertainly reckon themselves better business men.
They are in Bmall things but the
general result is sacrificed to order
to gain, apparently, a little something here and a little something
there, at the expense of those
who are employed. Tie best busi
nesa policy as iB constantly shown
by results is the liberal polioy.
Most of the Rossland met*
chants act up to this, as befits
their strain, and they certainly
should be proteoted against the
competition of those who will not
take a thought for any one else but
themselves, especially aB no one iB
injured and a large class of hardworking people are benofitted.

GROCERIES AND MINE SUPPLIES
WEEKLY HOLIDAY
A petition waa to be presented to
the City Council last evening by a
leading firm of grocers begging
that the Early Closing bylaw be
enforoed: a letter was written to
the local press during the week
saying that there should be a half
holiday for the employees of the
various plaoes of business in the
oity onoe a week. Both matters
are related and the city would
have no objection, were a plebiscite
taken, if the law were enforced in
the one case and made to suit tbe
other. As long as all plaoes of
business employing help are obliged to olose down at oertain hours
no one dan get any undue advantage over the other. Just as long.how-
ever, as it ia merely a matter of
mutual agreement, the business of
those who keep good faith is en-
eroaohed upon by those men who
oonoeive it to be no disgrace not to
live np to their agreements.
On the other hand the public
haa its tights and should be safe
guarded. The ordinary hours of
businese here are from seven to
six with some portion of the day,
usually an hour, off for a midday
meal. On Saturday nights, on the
nights preceding a pay day, and
there are two paydays in the camp,
the shops do not clone until at
least nine at night and sometimes
ten and eleven. That is to Bay
that the unfortunate employees
hot only work their ten hours a
day for 26 daya in the month but
on six days put in an extra three
hours or so more, almost doing
away with the results of Sunday
observance. This is to suit the
public convenience and the public
in tnrn should have no objeotion in
the employees having a few hours

JUSTICE  IS SHOCKED
Deputy Sheriff Appears in
Court Without a Dress
Suit.
It is with more or less regret that
Progress, eays that Viotoria paper,
finds itself called upon to draw
publio attention to a pieoe ol culpable negligence on tbe part oi the
provinoial government. It appears
that in a oertain bailiwick of British Colombia tbe workings of that
ancient institution, tbe British
Constitution were seriously em-
harassed by rea.on of tbe faot that
tbe deputy sheriff was not attired
in a dress suit, and, it is added,
with what degree of truth deponent
eaitb. nit, that tbe wheels of the
Car Of Justice were arrested for a
considerable space of time while
the deputy sheriff aforesaid skirmished around to borrow the necessary apparel. Surely this ought
not to be.
The McBride government ought
to see that its myrmidons are properly attired in order tbat justice
may be properly administered. If
the munificent salary of $40 per
month be alleged insufficient to
permit a deputy sheriff to go
dressed like Solomon in all his
glory, drees suits ought to go with
the office and be constructed on an
adjustable plan so that in case an
officer should be removed for per*
nioious partizansbip, it can be
ma de to fit bis successor. It ie
alEO desirable that the law in regard to these matters should be
i
made explicit.
A story iB told of a certain North
C.rolina judge, who was inoensed
because the sheriff appeared at
oourt with a white vest on. "Mr.
Sheriff," said he, "do you not
know tbat the law requires you to
appear in a black coat and veBt."
To whioh the sheriff replied that he
wae aware of the fact, and that he
waa bo attired. "Your vest is
white, Sir," thundered the judge,
"and it ought to be black." "Excuse me," answered the sheriff,
"the law says nothing about tbe
oolor of the vest.,It simply says I
must wear a blaok coat and vest.
I have a black ooat and I have-en
a vest. It also says that the
sheriff must bave a oocked hat and
sword.' Does thie mean that the
sword must be cocked?"
It is alleged that the business of
the court proceeded forthwith. In
view of the possibility of errors of

S. F. PARRISH RESIGNS
Announcement la Made Intha Spokesman  Ravlaw
the
True to its policy of keeping
oamp in tbe dark the Le Roi man
agement gave no inkling to the
press of tbe resignation of Ma ager
Parrish whioh tbe Spokane paper
olaims was sent in on May 13 although this iB probably wrong
No reason is direotly assigned to
the resignation wbioh indeed, un
der other oiroumstanoes might well
be laid to ill health with perfect
justioe. But our contemporary
immediately discusses the alleged
discrepancy in the valuation of the
mine whicb outs off two thirds of
the profits made laBt year and
whioh has been given in more than
one London paper on the authority
of a cablegram from Aoting Man
age Mackenzie.
Rosslanders will recognize that
Manager Parrish has had a hard
row to hoe since he took charge of
the mine a year or more ago and
whetner he has done successfully
or no depends on tbe revelations
of the future when the shareholdeis
demand an investigation.
A meeting was last night held of
St. George's.congregation and it was
finally deoided to build at the corner of Karl street and Le Roi
avenue.
The proposal is to acquire the
lots faoing on Le Roi avenue as
well as those facing on Kootenay,
making a blook of eight lots in all,
and getting permission, under due
provisos, to olose the lane between
the two avenues, as far as theBe
lots are conoerned. The present
building will stand as it ia, to be
used as a Sunday school and parish
hall for meetings, socials, etcetera.
It may be - remembered that the
edifice whioh was built by Father
Pat just before Christmas, 1890,
was never consecrated, but was
dedioated onVy, a distinction that
has this difference, that a consecrated building may not afterwards
be used for any other purpose than
those whioh are Anglioan, whereas
a dedicated building may be put to
secular use. Room will be left on
the Bite for the building hereafter,
of o reotory.
As to the ohuroh proper, plans
are being got out by Charles Simpson for submission to the vestry
whioh will now resolve itself into a
committee of ways and means, and
report later. It is hoped that a
start will be made tbis year..
There are two or more proposals
before the vestry, the one being to
utilize the rough stone of the oamp,
and put up a rough stone churoh
completing sufficient of the building as will serve for present purposes and eaving its addition and
its adornment to a later period in
the history of Kossland. The other
is to put up a complete but small
building, whioh will be in fit keeping with the present status of Roesland, and let the future take oare
of itself. As far aa outlay iB concerned the one will be about as
ooatly as the other.
It is understood the parish is
olear of ull debts, has some funds
on which it can draw for an immediate start, and moreover has muoh
real estate which oan be used as
wanted.
The  site   will require little or
foundations, it is nearly level

Phoenix,May 26—Aoting under a
warrant reoeived fron the lieutenant
governor for that purpose, D. J.
Matheson, oity clerk, who has been
appointed returning officer, haB
given notioe to the electors of
Phoenix that nominations for five
aldermen will be received on June
4th. and that an eleotion, if needed,,
will take plaoe on the 7th of June.
It will be remembered that the
five aldermen resigned some two
months ago as a protest againBt a
decision of the police magistrate,
W. P. Williams, who dismissed a
case brought against the ohief of
police, C. H. Flood, by a woman
of the half world. The polioe commission sustained the police magistrate, and the resignation of five
members ol the oouncil followed as
a protest. " They and their friends
assert that no counoil can be obtained till both polioe magistrate
and ohief of police are let out.
