nearly three weeks ago, there,has
been, a number of conferences between A, B. Hodges; local manager of the Granby company >and a
committee of the union. Thus the
,entire matter has- been amicably
settled. 1
The scale accepted is about 50
cents per day lower than that
prevailing when the mines were
closed on November 11 " on account of the low price-of copper
'and high operating costs.. It is a
certainty, that the Granby. will
operate at ■> fullest, capacity 5 of
3000 tons of ore shipped and
smelted *r daily, as only on, this
scale can the company make oven
'a moderate profit on 12 or 13
cent copper. . * 0 ■' .
The announcement is the cause
of the greatest satisfaction tonight, in Phoenix and in the Boundary generally.'' • '■

in the matter shortly before mldiilght

The board consisted of his honor P.

"On our appointment wo proceeded

undor what was known as the old Slocan
Bcale, iixed in 1900... On June 1st thoy
had received a very material increase,
but did not receive the samo rate of
wages as wns being- then paid in the

that tho rate of increase as given was
not sufficient, that they Hhould receive
tho same rate of wages as that paid in
the Boundary district, and thut the in-
crcasoasgiven discriminated in regards
to certain classes of labor. Thoy based
thoir demands for an increase on the
fact that tho cost of living-had materially increased since the old scale was
fixed, that the wages lu othor departments of Industry had increased during
the last 10 years from 25 to 100 por cent.;
that thoy woro entitled to tho eaino rato
ot wajjoH as that paid in tho Boundary
country, whore conditions are practically
tho samo as at Moyio, whlid nnd that
moro especially in tho caso of muckers,
in Hosslnnd and tho Boundary tho In-
crcaso has boon from 1G% por cent, to
80 por cont,, while In Moyio tho increase
has only boon 8)tf por cent. Tho com*

not only should an increase not bo
granted, but that thu prosont scale of

which prevailed prior to Juno 1st, should

The travelling and haulage roads and
the airways through the worked out
portions of the mines where the roof
and pavement have come, together,
have been kept open by taking down
the roof or taking up the pavement
and are now practically rock tunnels.
In this system of mining there are no
old workings left in which any accumulation of gas can occur. - o
■ From these facts I argue that no further subsidence of any importance will
occur in the surface overlying the seams
so far worked, and as the workings at
present extend to a„ point under the
brow of the hill—back of which the surface is more nearly, level—any further
cracks due to subsidence will bo in tlie
flatter country and free from nil bus--
picion of danger.
As to any danger from the subsidence
which has slrendy'taken place, I would
say there is none, for the reason that
tho strata forming, the mountain nre
hard, solid bedsof sandstone, conglomerate and argillite, quite unaffected by
water. These,strata arc merely horizontal, such dip _ as-they have being
into the hill, which'/eliminates any
possibility of there being any gener'nl
slide of the hillside into the vullev of
Coal.-Creels.
The fissure, which was the immediate
cause of the investigation, occurs'in a
sandstone bluff some 75feet high, which
forms the brow of the hill—some 1800,
feet above the level of the'railway'
tracks—nnd cuts across a point of this
'j bluff in a, direction parallel with tho
j main creek, The fissure in' the solid
j rock i.s about 18 inches wide, biit whore.
] the rock is covered wilh earth the earth
j has in j.l'ijc'es run gown, giving the
! nuuresoion- to a casual observei-. of a
; dt-hure of several feet in/widrh. ;
' This fissure evidently occurred in the
early p.irt of'the past, summer. In .-id-

"' 1 .arrived iii Fernio on _nia-lU_o_f_3r_d
•and on the 4th 1. interviewed your in
formant—Mr. ;Bi <*-«■£—the Secretary of
the local Union, and learned from, liim
that the anticipated danger lay in the
fact that the extraction of the coal in
No. 1 and 9. Mines, Coal Creek, had
«aused a subsidence of^ the hill above
theso seams, which subsidence was
manifested by the opening of cracks in
tho higher rocky beds of which the
mountain is formed, and it was feared
by-many of the "inhabitants of. Coal
Creek that thoso fisBuree—some'of which
wero in rocky cliffs—would causo largo
fragments of,, the cliff to bocomo detached and that these would roll down
upon tho houses in tho valley, causing
a disaster Bimilar to that which occurred,
somo years back at Frank, Alberta.
As far as Mr. Biggs know, or I could
hear from others, there was no insinuation or expectation of danger in tho
minos mentioned, and tho supposed
danger' was entirely from tho surfneo
timtorial which It was thought might
roll down upon tho houses. .
On tho 5th Inst. I went up to Coal
Creole nnd examined tho whole of tho
ground In question,
As your information hnd boon (rom
tlio Secretary of tho local Union, I
t.t considered- it advisnblo that tho Secro*
If! tnry nnd two other momboru should
* accompany mo, which they did nt my
request.
I wm ftlso accompanied by Mr.
McEvoy, tbe Geologist nnd Engineer of
tho Crow's Nost Pnsa Conl Company,
and by Mr. Morgan, tho Inspector of
Mines for tho District,
I lind that the mountain In question
is on tho north eido of Conl Crook—its
highest point somo 1800 foot nbovo
mllwny trucks, bolng almost duo nortii

small fissures is. much lesafdangerous
than-if the effect was -concentrated in
"oTTtriTTrKe brea kT7-" •7" ~
•■ The most recent,fissure had detached
a section of the bluff some'75 feet high^
.which,.toppling over, had fallen down
on the steepest part of the, general hillside, and the fragments of this rock fall
had rolled _ or been thrown, down .the
hillside for, somo distance, the piece
going furthest—a mass of some eighty
tons—being not over 100 yards from
the base of the bluff.
■This gives "a practical illustration
that tho slope of the hill is not sufficiently
steep to permit of boulders rolling any
distance.
From this bluff.to the nearost buildings is a horizontal distanco of.about
2,4r'6o feet. ; , .. ■
Ab to the underground workings—]
could not,,enter No. 1 Mine as It, had
been abandoned for somo time and is
now nearly choked up, but I I* now It
from"previous inspections.
I went .through No. 9 Mine with the
ovorman, tho inspector and Mr. Biggs,
nnd found everything in good ordor
nnd as safo ns coal mining can bo made.
I Include with this roport n section of
tbo hill In question, Bhowing location
of fissures, etc.
In conclusion, I beg to ropprt thnt in
my opinion theso fissures do not offor
or suggest any dnngor from slides or
rolling rocks from tho hillside, nnd that
no further Investigation is required.
I,might any that I found somo 1C0
men hnd boon frlghtonod from their
work by storlos of tho oxtont of thoso
fissures, consequently I considered it
ndvisnblo to glvo n stntomont of my

'At the present time, wLrsi ir.cr.ey
is practically, in'sorne parts nt

to. look into the sy*5tei'i • of our
banking institutions, and see ii
they are right., 0
With the. in£ormaT"ion furnished
' depositors every year, and also at
..'-other times, it' would- see:n tliat
all the banks-were as. solid as the

Do their reports tally'willi- tbeir

our largest institutions' siitw an
enormous sum accounted for by
"Call and Short Loans,'-' etc.
Now of what,do "these consist?* If
the money.' was 7et out in responsible places, arid in our, own
Country, where it could be called
in on short notice, ax'.d placed to
the credit of the bank* -a-iioi absolutely • necessary, tl.eve' would
not be so many hank failures.
But we have seen instances where
the funds of the banks are lent
out in such a manner that when a
case of emergency 'occur.1:, it cannot" be got in., in -.time to supply
the" demands of .,he anxious de-,
positors, and the ultimate consequence is readily foi seen, the
b"afikTlnu~st^iose_it"s^lWrs7s •""""~
.Why should the Canadian banks
lend their money in .large quant i-
■ties to foreign- countries and es
pecially* at the present critical
* time. .' The United States Lave
■uftered but' lately from this system, and" our ■ba,iking'iiiot-.tiii:.jon&
should . see to it that the same
grievious mistake is not made.
Look at .the ,matter ^from a depositor's standpoint, -.li'e Sf.vos,

judgment; it. n-aStirs Jiot which,

solid and safe, but alas,.loo often
:!heiv reserves are in such a shape
that when wanted they cannot be
obtained, and tlio nun who has
by this time accumulated what he
thinks.will keep him atid his family, learns all of -j,* sudden that he
is practically ,*. "bankrupt, by the
failure of his bank,
i This is where wo .hink tho gov-
ornmont should take a hand in
the affairs of tho banks, Thoy
should bo made by an Act of
Parliament to always hoop enough
of n ready obtainable resorvo, or
emergency fund to offset any
Htringenoy that may occur, and
that is bound to occur from timo
to timo, more especially in thesu
■ youngor countries, on account of
. the immense amount of business
that is dono on paper. The present system is far too lax, nnd
amounts to a misrepresentation of

ttobert R. lledley; the special Dominion'' Government Commissioner, 'appointed to inquire into the mining conditions in Western Canada, returned on

left on the afternoon train-for Edmonton.
Mr. lledley also visit ed'the. coal
'mines at Canmore'iuul the cement plant
at Kxshaw. " j

lledley said thai it was i-ortainly a

daily output i.s in the neis'liWliood of
1,000 tons, and. about *150'men are employed in and around, tlie 'mines. Tlie
coal is almost anthracite, the principal
market ior it being in the Kootenay
district and Calgary. The coal dust
is mado into brickete,-which aire used
quite extensively by the C. P. 11.'com-'
pany in their locomotives in the, mountains. The grates of the engines ai-e

brickots.,"-",. ,: - *. -
At Canmoro there are a considerable
number'of men working on contract
getting.out.coal,.a great deal of which
is used by the C.-P. R.
The cement plant at Exshaw is almost
completed', and rock crushing operations have commenced. *- The company
expects, in a short time,.tb commence
the" manufacture of cement, and by
next spring to havo the plant running

and while the board desired to expedite -U 4

DO YOUR LEVEL BEST.
Put the Right Spirit Into Your Work
" - and Keep Your Ideals High. ,
Put the right spirit'into your work.
Treat your calling as, divine,, as a call
from principle. : If the thing Itself be
not important, the spirit in which you
take hold of it makes all the difference
, ln the world to you.' It can make or
mar the man. You cannot afford
.grumbling service or botched work in
your life's record.. You cannot afford
to form a habit of half doing things or
of doing them in the spirit of a drudge,,,
for this will drag its slimy trail through
all your subsequent career, always hu*
mlUatiug 3-011 at the most unexpected
' times. Let other people do tho poor
Jobs, tho botched work, If they will.
Keep your standards up, your ideals
high. *
The attitude with which a man approaches his task has everything to do
with the quality and efficiency of his,
work and with its influence upon his
- character. What a man does is a part
of himself. It is the self expression of
.what he stands for. Our life work is
an outpicturing of our ambition, our
ideals, our real selves. If you see a
man's work, you see th(5 man.
No one can respect himself or have
