The frame is substantial in every respect. The roofing is of corrugated iron. The piling Ior the foundation was started Dec. 1st, und already over 900 piles are driven. More than 1200 piles will be required for the foundation. The topof tbeluunda- tion will be several feet above high water level. The mill site is perfect the mill abutting un tbe lake.

Preparing to Work. All stock in the Northwestern Development syndicate or the Gold Finch Mining company which has not been exchanged lor stuck in tbe Camborne Mining company, with the assessment ol live cents a share on llie Camborne stock paid, is now delinquent and is being sold by the Camborne Mining company tor the price of tbe assessment, five cunts a share on the Camborne stock, whioh is equivalent to 11 cents a share ou the Northwestern stock. Secretary John B, Curtis, oi Cal- uinel, reports lhat there iB equivalent nf ubout 75,0011 slum's of Camborne stock delinquent, und uf this amount between 15,000 and 20^000 shares wore sold ou Deo. 12th, and loth,,those being the first two days of dellnqtionoy. He says that the finauoialcondition ol this concern is now better I ban it ur any of its predecessors bus been since December, 1902, when the Northwestern Development syndicate lirst begun to incur an indebtedness, From that time forth the financial situation grew gradually worse, until entire liquidation was averted only by a fow of the heaviest stockholders forming a triisleu's company which issued a blanket mortgage, nnd paid off tbe indebtedness, at the same timo preventing a sheriff's Bale. This mortgoge of $15,0110 is now thu only claim of any nature against the property, quit claim deeds to (he entire group of claims and all equipment having been secured. Tbe property is entirely out of danger from loieolosuro, as the mortgage syndicate is composed of tho stockholders who have tbe greatest interests at stake, being composed, at tbe same lime, of some uf the strongest and most trustworthy financial Interest, of tbe copper country. There is now in the company's treasury a (und ol between $5,0011 and $11,000, derived (rum the present assessment nud delinquent stuck sale. Thero are uu plana to begin any work on the property until Ibis fund is materially strengthened und enough is iiii baud to make an attack that will promise suine ilelinile results. Thestampmill is said tube in good condition and a watchman is looking after its safekeeping. There nro two methods by whioh more money may be raised—tlm further sale of stock or the culling of another assessment. It bus not been determined which method shall be followed. Tbe stock in the Camborne Mining company is issued in the names of tho stockholders but is nut delivered to them at present, It is turned over to the First National Hank in Calumet and a receipt fur it is issued by tbe bank to the stockholders, while thu bank will bold the stock in escrow until such time us the mining company has satisfactorily financed the undertaking—Mining Gazette, Calumet, Mich.

There were nine people ou it, Third Engineer Wilson und three others jumped into Uio sun, while just as the island bench whs readied another went insane and rushed into tbe ocean. Twenty-two other* were picked up Oil a rait. The condition of the survivors was pitiable, They wen- hall frozen and practically unconscious Irom tlio exposure.

R. mechanical department, asking quotation, for 50 b. p. electrical power. R. Gordon was called in and said an expenditure of $6,500 to put in a new machine and equipment would enable the power to bo provided. A sluicegate would be required to allow of continuous running. A Btcam plant would cost $111,000 to $20,000 to install and would require an income ol $9,000 to maintain it. It would be a long time before the city could got that revenue. It was a mistake they did not put in a power machine instead of the new one thoy bought. Ho pointed that nut to the bite Mayor but lie was opposed to it. Tbe Mayor suggested referring the matter to the Fire, Water and Light Committee to go fully into with Mr. Cross. Aid. Abrahamson pointed out it would be necessary tu ascertain what minimum power would be used daily, as it would not (lo for the city to go to the expense of putting in a plant and then find they were not getting enough revenue from it to make it pay.

So it ia that the trees on (he western edg>) of the Hungry Country boor shackles in profusion—shackles for (he hands, shackles for lho feet, shackles for three or four slaves who are clamped together at night.

An: :- ■-:. SATURDAY, JANUARY 27, 1906 THE SCHOOL TRUSTEE ELECTIONS. It is an old saying that once a lie gets a start it is hard to overtake it, In connection with the late school trustee election- for this city a Blory was actively circulated f,.,r some time before the election that tbe late chairman of the Board and another of the candidates had in view making a change in the headmastership of the public school. None who knew these men, and the high estimation in which they hold the teaching staff, be lieved the canard, but tbe story was confimed by some who ought to have known better, apart from those who circulated it for purely mischievous and personal reasons. In justice to the men affected we have investigated the charge most thoroughly and find, as we expected, there is not a word of truth in it. All who were connected with its circulation should be ashamed of themselves. We si all be glad to show any persons interested the correspondence in our possession on tlie matter, proving beyond question (he gross wrong done these men. Mr. Lindmark has been connected with the Kevelstoke school for many Thu Attorney-general has introduced a bill consolidating and amending tho municipal law, and milking better provision for bylaw powers thun have hitherto existed. The late oity council sent in some suggestions for amendment of the existing law, and the opportunity is one which the city councils throughout the province should take advantage of to make suggestions to the government with a view to overcoming any dilliculties of administration they have found in the existing laws. The amending bill introduced by the Chief Commissioner provides thnt all timber cut on Crown lands must be used or manufactured in the province, and in case of this not being done the leaso shall be cancellod. As an alternative provision is made that the government may seize timber which il is proposed to oxport und refuse to release same until such security is given as shall ensure its being manufactured in the province. With reference to our article in iast issue on reducing the electric light rates in the city, we arc informed the rale at New Westmin ster is 12c. against 17c, the rate for Revelstoke. reareW collision C. P. R. Freight Train Runs into Passenger. On Wednesday night a. No. 96 wn, on her way from Vancouver east, and Hearing Kamloops, the engine broke down and the train had to be stopped for temporary repairs. A brakeniun wa, sent back to llag against any rear trains and the repairs having been effected the Bagman was called in. On stinting again, however, It, was found the engine refused to work and the llagmaii was sent out again, but before reaching hi, point a freight train, with Engineer T. .Sweeney in charge of the engine, came along and run into the passenger train badly damaging the pullman car. The result might have been eerioua but for the presence uf mind of Conductor Risteen, who saw the light of the (rcighl train and immediately signalled the engineer to move on with a view to lessening the shock and giving the freight train time to pull up. The passengers paid the highest encomium, to Conductor Risteen for the action ho took and whioh undoubtedly fined the passenger train from more serious consequence It is stilted the peculiar circumstances of the accident are snob that no one waa to blame lor it, but an investigation will be held by the 0. P. R, ollicials of tbe Vancouver division. TO SUBSCRIBERS.

While the absence of contentiousness may make the labours ol parliament appear Intolerably tedious to nn onlooker, there is no doubt thnt it is a great aid to tbe prompt despatch ol business. The Attornoy-Gcnoral introduced "An Act to consolidate uud amend tho 'Municipal Clauses Act' and amending Acts," which passed its lirst rending. Drury (Victoria City) had givon notice for a motion that an order be granted for a return showing number of timber lenses grunted during lilOf) on Vancouver Island with names ol lessees, area leased, and amount of bonus paid. Dr. King (Cranbrook) moved this motion, as Drury was nut in tbe House. Buwser (Vancouver) asked if the Government bud any comespondence since they took olliee with the authorities at Ottawa in relation to the granting of a lease of Stanley Park at Vancouver. Answered in tbe affirmative. Evan, (Cowichan) was troubled about one Henry Fry, a civil engineer, and wanted lo know whether he waB paid or employed, and if so, how much, on a new road from Cowichan station to the King Solomon mines, how much it cost, and why it was not full width, lie was promised an answer shortly. Murphy (Curiboo) wanted to know if .1. P. ISabcock is iu the employ of the Government. Replied to in the affirmative. Then now much wa, be paid ? $3000 a year. Oil,and did the Government give permission to Mr. Bnbcock to net us a meiubor oi the Fisheries Commission? They did. And bow long bad the lish hatchery at Seton Lake been in operation ? Since July, 1903, replied the Government. Then Mr. Murphy asked how many salmon eggs bad beeu placed in the hatchery each year, bow many young salmon bad been released each year, and bow many men were employed this season thereat. Jiuw, Mr. Murphy's sudden interest in Salmon iB understood owing to the locality where be resides, to be largely of uu academic nature. Hi, face, as be received full in it tbe tremendous volume of ligures which bin lust three questions culled forth, bad the blank stolidity uf a nickel-in-the-slot machine assimilating coin of tbo realm whon I usiness is good. The Finance Minister moved the House be asked to grant supply on Wednesday next. Passed, thought it is hardly likely to be ready by that time. Tbe Attorney-General's bill to amend the General Trusts Oorpoiation Act, 1906, passed its third reading. The Attorney General1, bill to amend the Small Debts Act passed its second reading. The adjourned debate on the second reading oi Mr. Hawthornthwaite', bill to amend the Coal Mines Regulation Act was again laid over at the .Mover's request. in reference to the adjourned debate on motion of Oliver (Delta) for return of correspondence between Government und others in regard to defective cattle-guards along line of New Westminster Southern Railway, the order was granted; the Attorney- General explaining, however, that the people who bad bad stock injured bad taken the" matter before the courts, and be did not think it wise for the Government to interfere. joh.v's little ,ioke.

ASSESSMENT ACT. In moving the second reading of the Aet to amend tbo Assessment Act, 1003, Finance Minister Tatlmv referred to the fact that the Act as brought in the session before last was a long one. Some amendment, were made to it last session, but experience bad shown tbo advisability of further cnange,. The purpose of the present amending Act wa, to make more dear the meaning ol one or two sections of that measure, and lo obviate the possibility of misconstruction of its intentions in other section,. There wa, nothing in il to raise the taxes in any way, in (act, it wa, a, proposed decidedly in favor of the taxpayer, ono of it, princip, I provisions lieing that, where land, revert to the Crown for taxe,, the taxpayer shall have a longer time to redeem his hind. The Bccond section ol tin proposed Act, continued the Finance Minister, which dealt with real property luxation, wa, iu order to define more clearly to what person, the lower rule, of taxation shall apply. The intention of the original clause hud lieen to help the poorer landholder, by a low rate of taxation on property not exceeding |2,000 in value, but it bus been found in tome case, that people possessed two tracts of land in the same district, both under $2,1)110, yet together aggregating nearly $4,01X1, and that these persons bad taken advantage of the smaller rate, while owner, ol land at $2,500 or $3,000 hud to pay the higher rale, This new clauae would remedy by taxing a man', aggregate holding, in one district. The next amendment, aaid dipt. Tatlnw, waa to make clearer the rat* at whioh income tax should be charged. It had been found on experience that the original clause dealing w'-.h thi, admitted of much mi, construction, and the intent nl the present meaiure wa, to cancel that clause entirely and bring in a new one, in which the' rates of taxation were the same, but tbe wording so definite that the intention of tbo Act should uo longer be misunderstood. The speaker went into extensive details showing the trouble that had ariten Irom misconstruing the intent of the original clause. He farther explained a couple of minor section,; one to amend a clerical error, and the other to extend the time for the redemption of land. Hawthornthwaite (Nnnsimo) approved the bill, and paid several compliment, to Ihe Minister of finance on being the right man for hi, office. He detired, however, to suggest the exemption from taxation of the small farmer whose holding wa, under $1,000. Murphy (Cariboo) moved the adjournment of the debate. Hon. Mr. McBride introduced an "Act for the relief and ditincorpnrati, n of the Municipality of Dewdney," which patsed its first rending. LIFE SAVIXO STATION'S. That the {rightful lo„ of Hie in tbe wreck ol the Pacific Coast Steamship Co.', ateatner "Valencia" on the west coast of Vancouver Island the night before laat had profoundly impressed the members of the Legislature was evident thi, afternoon, when, on the House meeting, Mr. Manson (Alberni) moved, Oliver (Delta) seconding, a strong resolution to the Dominion Government, asking lor the establishment of life-saving station, on thi, dangerou, coast-line. Messrs. McBride and Hawthornthwaite made strong speeches in support of the resolution, which carried unanimously. SMALL DEBTS. On report of the Bill to amond the Small Debts Act, Parker Williams (Newcastle) moved an amendment to exempt from garnishee wage, ol workmen not exceeding $100 monthly. This special piece of clue, legislation did not meet the unanimous approval of tha House at all, although the Attorney-General lent it hi, support, and, after a rather warm debate, it wa, defeated by a mixed vote uf 22 to 17, some Government member, voting lor it and others against it. RELIEF BILL, The rest of the day was devoted to the discussion of Dewdney Relief Bill. John Oliver, who has, in connection with school taxation, persistently made out himself and bis constituency to be a couple of deserving mendicant*, opposed the bill furiously; thereby drawing upon his head the delicate attention of Hawthornthwaite of Nanaimo, who supported the measure and seined the opportunity to make what is vulgarly known as a "holy show" ol the Delta member, Murphy (Cariboo) attempted to adjourn the debate, but hi, motion was defeated, and he was ruled out of order whan attempting tn tpeak. Tha House finally adjournod on motion oj Mr. Wilson. The Man in the Ualleiiv, NOTICE.
