Anderson objected to Bodwell divulging anything that had passed between them ns solicitor and client. Bodwell Baid he would not do 60, hut had Larson's permission to toll all that had passed so far as he was concerned. Bodwell stated that alter an order-in- council had been passed, he hnd gone to Montreal to see Hays about the bargain. He told Hays that Larson wanted nothing, but il the U.T. P. liked to give any compensation to Anderson it might do so. Anderson was in Montreal at the time and Bodwell understood some arrangement was made in his tavor. Bodwell saw Larsen later and the latter absolutely refused to hoar ol any compensation, and when the final bargain was made with Morse, Larson settled with Anderson personally. Green was next called and submitted to a long examination by MncDoniild. The chairman said that some ol the hitter's questions were not portinout.

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 14.1906 THE MINING OUTLOOK, The mining outlook has never been better or brighter than now, and Nortn K'xteiiay can with confidence look lorwtrd to an active season. This il due to tilt high prices of the metals, the reduction ol smelter charges and the fact that development is proving up extensive bodies of ore all over the country. CITY BY-LAWS. The matter uf city by-laws brought up at last meeting ol the city council by Aid. Aliraluinisiiii and by him clearly placed before Ihe nueting is deserving ot attention. Aa the bylaws now are they consist ol ilitcon- neoted regulations passed spasmodically by the city since its incorporation over seven years ngo. Conditions have changed, mistakes have been rectified, and ninny of the old by laws could well stand revision to hringi them up todatc. Any citizen wanting to know the by-law on any particular question, cannot conveniently look it up for himself, and if everybody troubled the cily clerk about these things lie would have time tor little else. It is to the interest ol the city to have its by-laws in tlie best and n ost complete form, revised up to date, and available to any one who wanla to see tin-in. As a matter p( luct every citizen should have a copy ol the city by-laws and become acquainted with them so that lie may know the regulations he is supposed to comply with and obey them. It it up to the bylaw committee to get the city by-laws in good shape. The past two councils repeatedly referred to the necessity of revising ami consolidating the by-laws and it is time it was done. THE CAVES The publicity given the Dentscl man Caves during the jiatt year ha had its effect, and already hundreds ol people nre planning to visit them during the coming season. Thin emphasises the necessity ol urgent steps being taken by tho Dofninion Government to make provision Ior a good road from the railway to tht caves, and to arrange for accommodation for tourists in the basin. Without theit provisions people cannot reasonably be induced or expected to visit these caves, which arc now admitted to be one ol the finest attractions of nature in the mountains of liritish Columbia. The most should be made ol them, Cougar basin and the caves form a grauder national attraction than the National I'ark ul llanlf and quite ai much attention should lie PROVINCIAL LEGISLATURE Victoria, ll. C, Feb, 8, 1008, This (Thursday) afternoon's, proceedings commenced by llie Hi,use going into committee on the bill to regulate the Provincial Blcotiom Aot. An extremely warm discussion then took place, tlie proposed reduction to ifOO liinling tome supporters on both side* ol the House, others favoring Mr. Bowser's compromise of $100, while the majority opposed boib bill and amendment. Mr. Bowser (Vancouver) moved his amendment lirst, but it did not, at all suit the views ol Hawthorekhwaite CN'anaimoj the parent ol the bill. Thc financial experience of the mehiber lor Niinainio hnd been such, one tethered from his remarks, that he lound it just ns hard to make $11111 without working for it as to make $2110. Hon. II. (1. i'litlow said that he would test the feeling ol the House by moving that the oumiiiiltet rise. John Houston (Nelson) objected to rushing the matter in litis way, aa it did not give a chance for honorable members to talk, I Ion. R, McBride (Dewdney) wnt ppnsed tu any handicap, but he bad yet to leant ol a single case where having lo deposit $'200 bud deterred a ciindidiiie f,inn running, Still, he disapproved ol the prircipiil ol n deposit, II. a. Miiedotiiilil (Rossland) ap- provtil the Premier's id. ns, und Invored the House with his own tllOOl'iea as to the advisability ol doing away altogether with n deposit, and miming elections on a new plan. The Attoriiey-Generiil, wllh a sardonic grin, oordlully concurred in the views nl tho lender ol the Opposition, but hinted at the dillicully of framing legal machinery to pul the [airy dream into practice. Thc member tor Nnnainin joylully concurred in the Opposition leader's views. Why, ho said, such a scheme as proportionate representation would give labor live repri'scntalivcs iu the House, His hearers (ailed to show any appreciation of this alluring prospect, and the member [or Delta contradicted llim llntly. "Dues tho member (or Delta represent a minority?" asked Parker Williams, "Nu," snapped the redoubtiihlo .lohn, fiercely, "I don't have to."— (Laughter.) John Houston rose and roasted the member Ior Dolta. He had never expected to hear a British subject advocating a German system ol elections, He daicd Mr. Oliver to go into Delta and advocate such a change; if ho did, the loyal British farmers would soon show him his way home again. The member for Delta eat in dazed condition at this fierce attack upon his national sentiments, and the debate went on furiously without him, Munro (Chilliwack) Davidson (Slocan) Tanner (Suuiiicli), Patterson (Islands) and Hull and McNiven (Victoria) spoke, and then John Houston reduced the House to tears of deriBion and mirth by pathetically relating how he had always had to borrow the money to pay for his election deposit, and how, on the last occasion, when he really had hoped for some aid Irom the Conservative party; that organization had wickedly tried to stab him in the buck by putting up the deposit lor his oppuuent. (Loud laughter.) This piece o[ autobiography was too much for the House, which at once voted on the Finance Minister's motion to rise. The motion carried by 10 to 15, and this kills a very absurd iiu-usiiie. Mr. Dtvidton (Slocan) then moved the second reading ol ilie Eight-hour Smeller Bill. He spoke at much length, but was heard with little sympathy by the House, owing to the [act that the eight-hour day already txists, by amicable agreement between employers nnd employed, at most of the provincial smelters. It was felt, therefore, that Mr. Davidson's bill vvat Unnecessary and strife-provoking: and no one objected when, at the close nf his remarks, the Premier moved tlie adjournment ol the debute. The lloii-e then went into committee on the McGill University Bill, and was instantly confronted, before the members had fairly got into their seats, liy a motion ol Stuart Hender- ton 'Yale, that the committee rise, as there was a meeting t,, l«- held in Vancouver that evening on the subject. The Government (ailed to see what thtt had to do with the conimittM, and a heated argument billowed, lasting over an hour. The Opposition claimed that tbey coulil not understand the bill in three days which had been allowed them for its consideration and it wns bemi; railroaded through the House, anyway. I Ins the Government, with much reaton, denied. Finally, the mcmlier lor Vale'l motion was lost. Moro strile followed, and the oommiltee finally rose .mil reported progress: The House then went Into committee on the new Registry Act, but, as tho hour was lute, adjourned almost Immediately, The famous special eoiiiinittfi' on the Knien Island investigation re sinned dredging operations at III o'clock this 'Nuir-day morning—hut lound nothing. VlOTOBtA, ft. C, Feb 10, 1006 Yesterday's proceedings opened with a siorm. Mr. ,f. K. Garden 'Vane erj chairman nf the Kaien Island special committee, rose to a question of privilege, in regard to the (al«e and misleading report ol tbe proceedings ol that, committee which appeared, as mentioned in this correspondence! in Thursday night's Victoria Times. Mr. Garden denounced thia journal in scathing terms. The statement had been actually made that the Government was trying to burke the enquiry. This was a most deliberate falsehood. The. Conservatives on the committee had differed with the Liberals as to thc order in which tht witnesses tliould hs ciilled. The Victoria Times had made I his [act the basis ul atissir ol falsehoods. The report was a disgrace to journalism, and he consider! d that the House, in the interests ol public decency, ihuuld have its attention (lulled lo the mutter. Dr. Young (Atlin) introduced an Act to amend the Placer Mining Act, ami the inilway committee reported on tho Coii'ii'hnn, Alberui and Fort Rupert Railway Cn. Act, and the Southeast Kootenny Railway Co. Act. Tho House then went Into committee on the hand Registry Act. Thit is in, extremity lenl-thy measure, and very technical in chaiaoter, and the consideration oi its various clauses took up the better part ol the alter noon. An important suggestion in connection with this Aot, and one which will be appreciated by the unfortunate layman, was mado hy Mr, MoGowan (Vnncouvor) to the effect that, when the bill is reported to the House, the Attorney-General should attach a schedule ut fees chargeable by attorneys, tu limit them, The bonnrnl le member stated that ho was moved to make this suggestion by the [act that he was inhumed that then feet were (rum lour to sixteen times aa large as in other provinces, and they ought to be regulated. The Attorney-General replied that he would adopt tho suggestion, Tho committee then rose and reported progress. The House then went into committee on thc biil respecting the agreement bctweon the Provincial and Federal Governments with icspect to the Railwsy Belt, which was passed and reported with amendments. The House adjourned at 5 p. in. till Monday. With regard to the Midway & Vernon Railway, two highly characteristic motions arc down on the board lor Monday, as follows:— Mr. Oliver on Monday next will ask the Premier:— 1. Did the Premier or the Finance Minister make any statement when at Montreal or any other place, to any person or persons in any way affecting the question as to whether the Midway & Vernon Railway Company were or were not entitled to a subsidy under the terms ol the "Midway & Vernon Subsidy Act, 1002?" 2. Ii to, what was the statement or statements, made, and by whom and what person ? 3. For what reason were such statement or statements made? Mr. Hawthornthwaite on Thursday next will move that the bill entitled "An Act to amend the Provincial Selections Act," be placed upon the orders ol the day [or consideration ol committee ot the whole House on Thursday next. Mr. Hawthornthwaite will move, on consideration o[ the report or. the bill entitled "An Act to amend the Midway & Vernon Railway Company Act 1901," to add the following new section.— (i. Should the Midway A Vernon Railway Company [ail by this Act lo obtain continuation ,,! its rights as a laxly corporate and politic, then the province ilinll take over any nnd all lines o( railway constructed by the said company, and pay all just debit incurred lor actual construction ot same.'

DnteH January 10th. 1906, Ut BKRT BLYTH. I Leckie CoJLtA Selling Agents Vancouver, - p\ C. THE MAIL-HERALD. REFELSTOTC] C. 16 WILL BE A BIG MINE New Vein Discovered on the Del Rey. A now vein ol free-gold quarti 5 feet in width shooting off the main lead hat boon discovered in the weal drilt on tho Del Key, nnd it now being opened up. The vein it running parallel with the (urination and nierget into the main lead at a distanco ol 20 feet Irom tht crosscut tunnel. Tht discovery oomet in the nature ol t surprise to the management and will increase tlie ore producing oapabilititt ut tht property. About a month ago thc main lead on tho Del Key wtt tapped, tt a diB- lance of 450 del Irom the portal ot the 5x7 crottcut tunnel, which lias since been opened up by mttnt of drifts on caoh side ol the crosecut. The east drilt it now in 58 leet while the weet drilt is opened lor a distance of 20 feet on the mtin lead but thit drilt it in retlity 60 feet long at it has been turned from the main lead and mn along the new vein lor a distance ot 40 leet, and the intention is lo drive a crotsout and connoct again with the mtin Itad; thit work has just been started. It htt been demonstrated that the mattive body ol qutrtz 20 leet across that compotes the main lead is rich in the precioui yellow metal by assays ol sample* taken from aoross itt face which have yielded $20 in gold per Ion, tnd another indication ol good gold values is the pretence of quanti- tiet of iron and galena which, in thit camp, have been found by experience to be very reliable. It is a true liaeure vein cutting the formation, therefore there it no question regarding its permanency. It it said that another lead oi similar proportion exittt about 100 leet further into tlie hill, but this will be definitely known when a raise ia pul through Irom the present working! to tht turlact a dittance of 350 leet, at the raise will cut through the lead ii it it within thedittancecaloulated and ol timiltr dip to the one on which work is being prosecuted. One good feature is that development now being accomplished it all in on, and that which it being taken out ie an atiet thtt will assist in paying, ii not fully defraying, all costt in connection with tlie work. It it under- stood lhat a mill will bt erected at an early date or else arrangements made to have the mine product treated at a neighboring mill, but beiore ure can be treated a tram will have to be built (or a distance ot one-half mile to convey ore to the reduction works, which will be dona in due coune. Tht management ol the Northern Mines Ltd., of Indianapolis, owner ol the Del Key, opines that it has n property worthy of all the attention and expenditure it can give, and will oxert every effort in developing it to the state where a continuous supply of ore it available lor treatment. When this stage-is reached, judging from present (acts, there can be no doubts as to the lesulte.—Camborne Miner. effect a revolution in the treatment of low grade ores. Such a furnace will lie about as cheap In install as a concentrator. It will allow the treatment ol orcBthnta concentrator will not work on. SMELTER CHARGES. Reduction of $3 a Ton on Lead Ores. The local smelters have made a cut ol $3 per ton in freight and treatment rates on lead orea above 20 per cent tays the Standaid. This is the first cut tince 1900. The former rate was f 15 per ton, now il it $12. The moisture and "marketing" charges will still betdded. It is supposed that the cut htt been made because competition from the outside it anxious to come in, or because of the intended entrance of the Canadian Metal Co. into tho lead smelting field, The new rate will prove acceptable to the producer, and it is hoped will prove a stimulant to the mineral production. The reduction has been a long time coming, but it hat come at last. With lower rates and the opportunity lor the tale oi products hitherto unsaleable, the future is brighter than for years. THE MINES. The newest thing it monument! made ol /inc. It ii indestructible, alwayt keepi itt eolor, ii not toted upon by tht elements, and when considering all the point! ii cheaper than stone. Their ule it inoreaiing daily. With the imeltor tnd concentrator running it will soon look like old timet around Pilot Bay, says the Standaid, We learn that the lamous Blue Bell mine it showing up lino again aud hai abundance of ore in light, ','"'!
