The place where the accident occurred is on a curve and the engineer, Dave Calder, did not see the man on the track until he wns on toi) of him, and the distance was too short to stop the train until the engine and a few of the oars had passed over the body. The Coroner was immediately taken to the scene ol the accident and the body was brought into the city.

The city uf San Francisco is more than three-quarters destroyed nud is nothing more than a pile ol burned bricks and twisted iron, and until such tunc as the debris can be cleared away there will be nothing doing in the building line.

TERMINUS Railway Surveyors and Others are on the Ground and have Already Selected a Site tor Wharves, Etc. Preliminary work looking to the establishment ol thellriind Trunk Pa- oific terminus on Kai-en Island has now begun in real earnest suys the Vanoouver News-Advertiser. Engineers Pillibury and Hill hnve tnken up their quarters with a corps ul assistanli in tbe old Mission village ul Metlakahtla, on the northern shore ol Tuck's Inlet. From thoro the steamer Hustler is engaged in taking out the necessary supplies to the townlite ol Prince Rupert. Mr. W, 0. llnys and his Inronian, Mr, Mitchell, have a.so gone up on tho steamer Gsmusun, and will scloct a site tor a sawmill and lumber yards iu the neighborhood. Engineer l'illsbury of the Grand Trunk engineering staff, has engaged a number of Indians to clear camping grounds, and has selected a site un Kai-en Island lor tho location ol a wbarl and buildings. As evidence that the work will pro- ceed, and that Vancouver will reap some benefit Irom it, Mr. V. M, Daloe, the Powell street loat-builder, has already shipped up a gig, ubout 30 leet long, for the use ol thc surveyors, and t, day will send up on the Csmosun a neit gasoline launch, with a speed of twelve knots, which should be ol material assistance to the engineers in plying round the waters of Tuck's Inlet. With all these evidences, it is quite certain that the Grand Trunk Pacific Company means to keep luith with the Provincial Govimment, and have tlio construction ol wharves and other necessary terminal work well in hand before the 30th ot June, as the agreement called for. It would almost seem also as il there were yet some prospect of conitruction being started from this end, in spile of stories to the contrary MINING The contract for the erection ol a new hoist for tbe Centre Star at Rossland, has been let lo the Nordberg Manufacturing Company, of Milwaukee, against nine competitors. The new hoist will, when installed, be the largest lode-mining hoist in Canada. It will have a capacity of 1,200 horse power and will be steam-driven. The present hoist was found to be inadequate to the requirements of hoisting the ore and waste of the Centre Star and War Eagle ground through the Centre Star shaft. The task ot installing the hoist and making the connection between the two mines, will occupy several months' time. It is thought, however, that it will be completed in six months from the present time. The lead bounty act has until 1908 to run, and it would be pertinent to the question to add an amendment to the original act. Thia is, to require that the amount so paid ahull be expended in bona fide development work. The inspector 61 lead bounties should be required to certify in each case that the amount drawn has been so expended. Were the amounts paid, so expended, it would be certain to produce a better result than it has already. There are properties in the Sandon camp which have drawn liberally on the Dominion treasury, and Irom all the apparent facts in the case the money has been spent outside the country. In other cases it has been put to worse uses. Were the condition compulsory and strictly enforced, properties that have closed down might now be open and on the shipping list. The extra cost ol enforcing the amended terms could come out ol the amount allowed for the (ull expenditure. The idea is a correct one in principle, The people who are taxed to pay this bounty would be justified in requesting that it be expended in a way that would show a sure return on tbe investment, instead of allowing the money to go out of tlie oountry as it has in numerous cases.—Sandon Standard. James Ritchie, an employee at the Granby smelter, was terribly soalded Thursday by molten metal, Irom an explosion caus.-d by dropping a piece ol pipe in a settling pot, He died that ovening about eleven o'clock.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE. 1 ondon, May 21.—Escorted by forty members of parliament, nearly tour, hundred woman suffragists, representing organizations from all parts of the country interviewed Premier Campbell .Bannerman at the foreign office Saturday and presented their claim that women be allowed to vote. Only eight members ol the numerous deputations were al uwed to speak, and each was limited tu live minutes. But in the aggregate of forty minutes the premier heard about all there was to hear in favor of female suffrage. Thu immediate giant of woman's rights was the unanimous demand of the speakers, some of whom presented to the premier their "minimum demand," claiming that immediate leg- islat ion bestowing on women the right to vote was necessary, and declaring a promise to take tlie matter up at the next session of parliament would not satisfy them. One speaker declared that thc women were prepared to sacrifice their lives in behalf ol their demands. The gathering included ladies of title side by side with factory cm. ployees. The premier said be sympathized with the object ol the deputation, but asked his visitors to lie patient until the government became more united in favor of the extension ol the franchise to wumen.

Tbe land is king bought very rapidly in the iruit (rowing districts. Places that a year or two ago were thought lie suitabl" only for mining arc proving to be very valuable for orchards. A visitor to Nelson recently said that the matter that impressed him most was tlie interest taken by the people ol that mining town in iruit gardens. Tliis industry has proven itself to lie most profitable to the grower. The wonderful fertility jol the soil,combined with the mildness iol the climate, produces a perfect eon- will ; dition which insures wonderful crops. The enormoui territory tu the east provides a market for every pound of fruit ibat can Is- raised at a market price far greater than received hy any Other fruit growing conatry in America. At llie present time tliis market Ii being largely supplied by Ontario, Washington and Oregon, The distance and time laved In transportation Irom the east and doty from the south gives this locality a great advaiilsge.
