Water Rights Case Again
Postponed.
6ALT WANTS STONEY €REEKI
City Opposes With Trail Smelter-
How the Litigation Now
Stands.
The water rights cases before the
gold commissioner which have
been dragging their weary length
for the past two years came up
again this morning before Mr.
Kirkup, but the matter was again
postponed because of the absence
of A. H. MaeNeill, K.C.
The water in litigation is that of
Stoney, Rock and Murphy creeks,
lying to the north of the city.
The parties are the Le Roi, War
Eagle, Centre Star, Trail smelter
and City of Rossland. At present
the case stands thus: the city has
a prior right to Stoney creek with
the Trail smelter second, But the
reverse is the case, as it Btands
just now, on Rock creek. The Le
Roi haB been driven off the ground
in favor of the other mining companies who established a prior
right although nearly ousted by a
piece of exceedingly sharp practice
on the part of their wide awake
rival. The Trail smelter tried to
rush the business on Murphy creek
but fell down. The city has its
rights established aB to its waters
but A. C Gait on- behalf of tho
Wur Eagle ~_.d Centre Star claims
an interim right.
Told to bring suit in the name of
one of the companies, not both, he
established that right for the one
and this morning made application
on the part of the other, this time
however, making the application to
include Stoney creek. On this
part of the matter the Trail smelter
and the ciiy have both something
to say, and the grab will not be
permitted if it can be helped. In
the absence of the smelter's counsel
the case was postponed.

Sermon Delivered lust Night By tlie Rev.
A. IH. Sunford. .
_At the Methodist church yesterday evening the Rev. A. M. Sain
ford delivered an eloquent sermon to and on behalf of the Lady
Maccabees. He eulogi zed the or
der for its efforts to better condk
tions of mankind and declare the:
insurance pa,rt of juhe order a
religious obligation on its mem.
tors.
He paid special tribute to the
zeal displayed by the Maccabean
brothers, in that era of Jewish his
tory just preceding the coming
of Christ, in preserving the purity
of the Jewish religion and on whose
example the present order of the
Maccabees had based itself. Although the Maccabees were a society not more than 10 years old
its membership was now upwards
of 80,000 and was financially in a
flourishing condition. He stated
that he had every respect for those
societies which had for their chief
concern the removing of the cares
of the present by the provision
for those of the future and Baid
that as man advanced socially and
intellectually he would be the more
and more imbued with the true
spirit of Christianity and more
thoroughly live up to the requirements of the motto of the order—
faith, hope and charity.
AN OLD TIMER.
A SUICIDE CASE
Mrs. Martin Kills Herself
This Morning.
TAKES  A  DOSE OF  POISON
Carbolic  Acid   Destroys  an  Aged
Life—Second Attempt by the
Deceased-
Mrs. Martin, an old lady of
Be^enty, was found dead this
morning in the house of her son,
a boilermaker, with whom she was
living, death being the result of a
dose of carbolic acid deliberately
taken.
Mrs. Martin has been a resident
in this camp for the past four
years and for some time past, as
age crept over her, showed signs of
melancholic dementia, an acute
attack of which last August caused
her to take poison and she narrowly eBcaped with her life.
This morning her son went up
the mines and on his return Mrs.
Martin went out to visit a friend,
Mrs. Fred Rutherford, living on
Le Roi avenue. The friends got
talking of the occurrence of last
August and Mrs. Martin, whose
memory had failed considerably ol
late, asked what it was Bhe took
and was told that is was carbolic
acid.
"Oh yes," said the old lady,
'but what did I get it for?"
"Why to kill bedbugs" was the
reply.
The train of thought thus started
Mrs. Martin went straightway to
Morrow's drug store, purchased
two ounces of carbolic acid, assigning the old reason for the
purchase, went home, waited till
her son had left the house, poured
out about an ounce into a wine
glass, drank it, set the glass down
upon lhe dresser, and going into
the next room laid down upon the
sofa.
Twenty minutes later a neigh
bor, Mrs. Caesar Gellen,   called at
ttoihppae, wbickis at Jhft. ottxmt
Fifth and Washington, and  found
Mra. Martin a corpse.
Ueulh    of  Joseph  Murphy   Manager of
the  Waterloo Mine.
Greenwood, Feb. 24.—Joseph
Murphy, formerly of Spokane, bul
latterly manager of the Waterloo
mine in Camp McKinney, died al
the Sacred Heart hospital aiGroen-
wood today. He was taken to the
hospital on Christmas evening suffering from pneumonia and other
complications. His recovery was
considered doubtful for the past
month. He was looked afler by
George Dougherty, president of the
Greenwood Miners' Union, who is
an old friend, and also acting on
behalf of the Camp McKinney
Miners' Union. The deceased wus
a native of Cork, Ireland. He was
iged about 45.

Mr. Justice Martin is in the city
and Bome chamber motions and
applications will be brought before
him but it is not likely that the
court will be in session any longer
thrn Wednesday next. There is
one case pending, that of the mayor of Sandon but as that official
has resigned, it iB probable that
the prosecutiou, brought merely for
the purpose of compelling that
resignation, will be pressed.
WANT A LESSON
A Shocking Fatality This
Morning.
CARRYING CONCEALED WEAPON
J. F. Meeks,  Seriously Injured,  Is
Lying at the Misericordia
Hospital.
The danger of carrying firearms
upon the person was signally exemplified this morning. J. F.
Meeks, who is lessee of the Grand
saloon, was oyer in the Rossland
this noon, drinking at the bar. He
had been celebrating a little and was
having Bome fun when a heavy 44
Colt's revolver dropped out of his
hip pocket and falling on the floor
exploded. There were a number
of people present and usually it is
the innocent bystander who is injured, but the bullet in this case
left the barrel of the weapon in a
nearly vertical direction, and so
Btruck the unfortunate man MeekB
on the posteriors traversing the
bowles, inflicting a very dangerous
wound and one from which it will
take great power of recuperation to
recover. Dr. Mackenzie was summoned to the scene and pronounced
Meeks' condition to be dangerous,
sending him off to the hospital at
once. The police have confiscated
the revolver.
The frightful, perhaps fatal result of this accident ought to impress upon the mind of the lately-
imported foreign element in this
city that revolver carrying is
dangerous, and it is to be hoped
that the police of the city will
more searchingly than has heretofore been the case, see that the
habit of carrying concealed weapons is discontinued, and that at
once. If a few convictions are obtained and a few sentences of im-
prisonment.without the option of a
fine, if possible, are inflicted, Joplin, Missouri, may understand that
it is in Canada.

More revelations on the Whitaker Wright line are brought to

Manager unduly raised output for

stated output during month of January 12,000 ounces; first day's investigation proves thiB is false; he
has suddenly reduced to about
8000 ounces after advising end of
October not prudent to reduce output. Shareholders must conclude
rashly; trust if they will nat give
time to form just estimate, great
possibility mine.

LESSEN FRICTION.
The desire to lessen   the  friction
between thc employes and   the employer, and so avoid tbe disastrous
results of   industrial   disputes, is
agitating the   public   mind   in ull
parts of theKnglish speaking world.
And to the courageous little colony
of New Zealand must be given the
credit for the setting  in   motion of
that machinery calculated and destined to   achieve tbe  desired end.
Voluntary      arbitration    schemes
have proven   a  failure   wherever
tried, and naught  but the forceful
arm of the   law   seem to have any
effect.   Hence has emanated compulsory     arbitration     legislation,
New Zealand haB proven compulsion a success beyond peradventure.
The   young   commonwealth   Australia is about to adopt a  similar
law, the effect of  which  will be to
abolish the strike and lock-out.   In
the   United   Slates  ollicial data is
being gathered by Congress  on the
subject aiming for   the same goal.
We in  British  Columbia have the
idea that the west   leads   the eastern provinces  in modern and advanced legislation, yet Quebec has
adopted     a     law     much     akin
to     New     Zealand      and      Ontario is preparing to  do  likewise.
It is high time   British  Columbia
awoke to her opportunities as well
ub needs, and enact legislation protecting the   development of her resources.    No moro tragedies of the
Stevestoh and   Rossland   typo are
wanted.     Compulsory  arbitration
ompels   peace    and     encourages
thrift and ir.dustiv.— Slocan  Drill
PARTY LINES.
The wretched state of affairs political in this province does not
seem at all likely to be bettered
during the coming session. A short
editorial in the Victoria Daily
Times deprecating any appeal to
the country gives the key to tbe
desires of the politicians who are
masters of the situation, the first
among whom must be recognized
as Joe Martin. Without the consent of the redoubtable Joe, tacit
or overt, Dunsmuir cannot remain
in power. Without the support of
Dunsmuir, concealed or declared,
Martin cannot aspire to have the
real leadership of affairs however
tbat leadership might be bidden
behind the iigureheadBhip of some
Martinite nominee. To mix up
thiB dilemma intrudes the personalities of Bodwell, Mcliride, Curtis
and others of lesser culibre.
Changes may be effected along these
lines to all eternity, but along these
lines will be no escape from the
turmoil that has been and is now
the bane of the province.
How is it to be altered? That
is indeed the question, Conservative and Liberal are convertible
terms in thiB province at present,
but bad as party politics muBt be
when there are no definite parly
issues even this slate of affairs is
better than tho present for any
Conservative or Liberal government can be saddled with the responsibility of thc acts of their Liberal or Conservative predecessors.
Now no man can hold Dunsmuir
responsible for '"Martin, or either
for Semlin, or any one of these
three nondescript alliances, with
the rule of the Turnerite stripe.
Government by the people for the
people must spell responsible gov
ernment. Just because there is no
such responsibility, because it is
a case of mon not principles.is the
jgovornmeut   of   British Columbia,
whether it be a government headed
by Turner, by Semlin, by Cotton,
by Martin or by Dunsmuir, a failure.
It may be taken as granted that
the Liberals of this province desire
party lines, but it may also be
taken for granted that the Liberal
politicians find it to rtheir interest
not to define any such issues.
Hence the upshot of the last two
conventions. Both were convened
to discuss party lines.both degenerated into questions of personal responsibilities. In the first case it
was an issue between Davis and
Martin, and in the second it was a
question of Martin and Bodwell,
Davis adjudged out of the dispute.
Fir6t of all a clearly defined
platform should be backed by a
party aud let that be the issue before tlie people. If defeated it is
the will of the people, and tbe future state of the province will test
the accuracy of that decision to be
aftervvardB ratified or amended.
The suggestion has this on its side
it will certainly call order out of
chaos whichever party wins.

NOTES AND COMMENTS.
The Dominion government has
ordered the appointment of fire
rangers _o protect the timber properties of this province.
A government which wishes to
protect the people can bring the
railways to time without the help
of a commission. The great lack
of the government at Ottawa is not
the machinery of a commission,
but the strength of a sincere wish
to stand up for the people against
the corporations.—Toronto Telo
gram.
Tho Miner tells us that E. V.
Bodwell is a very strong man, and
that Victoria Liberals and Conservatives are both supporting him.
Now we have had the strong man
up here talking strong nonsense on
railway competition and ownership
and it safely may be predicted that
Liberal and Conservative Kooten-
aians,especially from the Boundary
would unite in voting for his op
ponent.

VELVET
MINES, LTD.
New Deal of the New Company to Raise the Necessary Capital.
The Velvet Rossland Mines, limited company has been registered
with a nominal capital of £200,-
000, in £1 shares, to acquire the
property and undertaking of the
Velvet mine. The latter company
was registered in June, 1900, to
acquire the mine from the Velvet
Mines, which has been engaged in
developing the property since
1898.
From the statements made at
the last meeting of the Velvet
MineB it would seem that the
shaft iB down 400 feet, that at that
depth there is a valuable ore body
and that tbe dump would furnish
about 3000   tons  of payable ore.
The chairman considered that
the capital now to be raised would
make the mine Belf-Btipport'ng,
and if the chance arose of their
making a large mine it would be
necessary and easy to get more
capital- Of the £200,000 nominal
capital of the new company, 198,-
980 shares, with 17s 6d. credited
as paid up, are offered to the public. Shareholders in the old company have the right to claim an
allotment in the new, share for
share of their holdings, and the
whole amount haB been underwritten.
It is at least doubtful if this
scheme is legal. Shareholders in
the old company will be protected
but outside persons subscribing on
these terms will run a risk of hav-
to pay up 17s. 6d., which it is
attempted to credit aa paid. Thu
capital raised is small—only £25,-
000—but by registering with a
capital of £200,000 an expenditure
of £500 has been incurred for capital duty.—London Mining World.

Anaconda   Mine   Secures
the Co us -Parrot Mining Interests.
Butte, Mont., Feb. 24.—One of
the most important mining deals
that has been effected in Butte in
many years was consummated to
day when the Colusa-Parrot Mining and Smelting company sold the
Colsua-Parrot mine to the Anaconda Copper Mining company.
The terms of the sale have not
been made public, but is is understood the consideration was a large
one. In addition to the sale of the
mine this deal brings to a close the
famous litigation between the Colusa people and the Anaconda company, which has been in the courts
for several years.
