WHEN HEINZE TOOK BRIDE ON HONEYMOON AERIAL MANOEUVRES Army of France Marshals Its talions In the Skies Bat- (Special to the Optimist) Villiers, France, Sept. 15.���President Failleres this morning came here to witness the army manoeuvres with military airships. Six dirigibles went through a programme of movements of defence and attack, and a number of aeroplanes were also angaged in the tests of their utility for war purposes. (Special to the Optimist) London, Sept. 16.���The crown did not materially mprove its case for the prosecution of Dr. Crippen this morning. The two witnesses called were severely cross-examined by Barrster Newton, who succeeded in shaking their direct tes imony on important points. Dr. W. W. Wilcox, in reply to Mr. Newton's questions, said he believed the body was "probably" female. He had discovered traces of hyoscin, which probably had been administered through the mouth and not hypodermically. The dose, while enough to produce fatal results.showed expert judgment in preparing. He was satisfied death followed within an hour after the poison was taken. He also testified that he had examined the eart!h found near the body and discovered traces of the powder mixed with carbolic which had undoubtedly been used by the undertakers. There were traces of hyoscin and arsenic also in the soil where the body had lain. Dr. Spillsbury said he was unable by an examination of the tissues of the re- ma ns i o determine the sex of the body. Upon b��ng recalled he said that part of a pajamd pocket ound near the body was of the same texture as one worn by Belle Elmore. The color was different but this might have changed by contact with the earth. Dr. Crippen and Miss Le Neve were allowed to sit together during the hearing but not allowed to converse with each other. , It is now believed that however weak the case for the crown may appear there is little doubt of the prisoners being committed for trial MORE MONEY FOR WEST Federal Expenditure Must Keep Pace With Development (Special to the Optimist) Ottawa, Sept. 15.���Mr. Lafleur, chief engineer in the department of public works, says the annual expenditure on the Canadian west on the part of the federal government will have to be largely increased to keep up with the development.

Ryan, son of Thomas F. Ryan, the New York millionaire, chairman of the committee on arrangements. That Prince Rupert will be an important distributing pointed the opinion expressed by Col. Tracy, who returned from the North recently after looking over a power scheme on Wood- worth Lake ays the Vancouver Province. "The fact that Prince Rupert has a future is a good thing for Vancouver, for if there were twenty Prince Ruperts along the coast Vancouver's business would ine ease in proportion," he said today. The records for the Woodworth Lake power were held by a Vancou- very synd cate before Prince Rupert was started and the city is now making a survey with a view to getting water from the same point. The new city engineer at Rupert is Col. Davis, an Ontario man, of whom Col. Tracy entertains a very high opinion. Col. Tracy thinks Prince Rupert a good town and says the people are very optimistic. While he was there a big real estate deal was put hrough Mr. Ford, an English contractor, invested in Prince Rupert property to the extent of $100,000.

Prince Rupert The public school board is very much disappointed because the new school is not yet ready for occupation. The building itself is all ready but the heating system is not in nor yet has the contract been let, and it is doubtful if the department has even deeded upon the system to put in. The department has been urged several times by the board th ough Wm. Manson M. P. P., but there has been one delay after another. It is understood that the plans for the heating are about ready now, but at that the chool will not be ready for six weeks or two months. In the meantime the old school is being over crowded and there is no room for the new pupils who are starting every day. Last week there were 162 pupils on the roll, a gain of over 40 since the opening, and more are being added constantly. A number of children in the primaries are obliged to sit on the front seats without a e.k, as there i> no room t put in a desk, f the heating system in the new school could be hustled along as it should be that will overcome all difficulties and provide ample room. The school board are also preparing to increase the teaching staff between now and Christmas and the new school is absolutely necessary.

M. C. A. of New York City, in a lecture delivered there: "Don't put money into a mining property because a friend has been fortunate in mining stocks. "Don't be deterred from a mining investment because some other friend bacame bankrupt through that means. "Don't allow any slick, dishonest man���not to employ a shorter and uglier word���to convince you that you, successful in your own line, are therefore competent to judge the value of a mine. "Don't be influenced by rich 'specimens that a mine has produced. As John Gashweiler said: 'You might as well ���how me a hair from a horse's tail and ask me how far he can trot.' "Don't buy stock in a mine because it has produced millions in the past. It is that much poorer. "Don't buy stock in a mine because the mine is situate in a far-off country. "Don't buy simply because it adjoins a good mine. "Don't buy without an unqualifiedly favorably report by a mining expert of integrity ability and experience. "Don't buy unless you are sure the directors are honest and competent." Peaches, Plums, Pears for preserving, see the Ideal Provision House. 09-14. S. A. Phipps, who recently returned from a trip up river, states that he believes that Hazelton and vicinity will be the greatest mining camp in British Columbia, and that next spring will see an immense rush up the river. He says that the Skeena river runs through a wonderful country. He was thoroughly surprised and convinced at the visible values. While he went up on a general trip his special mission was in connection with some mining interests. He spent much time around the Nine- mile Mountain and Fourmile Mountain. Both of these are very richly mineralized and several big mines are being worked now. The Lead King Mine was of special interest to Mr. Phipps. It is on Fourmile Mountain and is immensely rich. In a short time it will be one of the biggest producers in British Columbia and the values are high. Speaking of the valleys Mr. Phipps states that around Hazelton will be a great cattle and mixed farming country in spite of what some people say to the contrary. The land is covered with a very light growth and will easily be cleared. Once the trees are down grass seed can be sown on top of the ground and a heavy crop of hay will be gathered, while if the land is ploughed it will grow anything very successfully. He says he never saw such vegetables in all his life as are growing in and near Hazelton this year. The country south in the Lakelse valley will b the fruit belt of British Columbia. It will be m re difficult to clear but it will be worth the money when it is cleared. It is a wonderful berry country and fortunes will be made out of small ruits. In reference to the fruit and farm lands Mr. Phipps said that there were grand opportunities for big colonization projec s. The people on the land now are doing practically nothing towards le ring it. They are waiting for ome one to buy them out. Next year he anticipates a big settlement.

Even the mayor himself was surprised at such expedition. The business was important too, no less than the Telephone and Lighting committee's report on the long looked for lighting scheme���the city's very own juice plant. The report runs to the following effect commencing with telephone concerns: The committee recommended:- First: That the stock in Prince Rupert Telephone company as held .by various stock holders (whose names appear on a list attached) representing in all a total of $9075.00 be redeemed by the city: Second: That the promissory note in favor of A. A. Mclntyre for $4056.98 held by the Canadian Bank of Commerce and falling due on September 16th, be paid. Third: That a one hundred kilowatt machine' non condensing engine and switch board be purchased at the price of $3,500 as shown on the list of electrical apparatus available as per list shown to t om itt e by h? it e nee . Fou th: Tha th ity intin er ake n . e a y steps to have th b il rs recently purchased from he relresenta- ti ce of the B. C. Tie and Timber Co- tested and fitted up. Fifth: T at the ece sary wire tc o be used i nn t'ion with the pro- p sed electric 1 ght plant be purchased. Sixth: That negotiations be opened up with the Grand Trunk Pacific Development Co., Lts., with a view to securing a lease of the site formerly occupied by the B. C. Tie and Timber company's Mill for the site for the city electric lighting plant. The report was received practically without discussion. Aid. Hilditch asked why it was proposed to buy a 100 kilowat machine when he understood they had power for a bigger one. The mayor explained that by getting this size machine there would be less delay in getting the light supply going while the machine would be nee ssary in any case. Aid. Pattullo added that the whole city could be lighted by the 100 kilowatt machine, and meanwhile the question of the lighting of business premises could be gone into better. He moved that tbe first two items in the telephone and lighting committees report, be referred to the Finance committee and that the city engineer be authorized to make the necessary purchases in connection with the lighting plant. This was carried. The directors of Silver Cup M nes Limited have decided to place upon the market 100,000 shares of the treasury stock at twelve and a half cents per share. This has been done in order to give the local people an opportunity to secure an interest in their property if they see fit. In the past a great many have wished to buy Silver Cup stock, but were not encouraged by the directors as the mine was only in the first stages of development. Now, however, the directors are in a position to know something of the value of their property and will let the public in to the above extent. The mine is now at shipping stage and this fall a hundred tons will be brought out. Active mining operations will be continued all winter and an immense amount of ore will be ready for shipment next spring. The money received from the issue of stock will be used to continue the winter's work and next spring the amount of ore and the high values will put the stock up many points. J. R. Talpey has been chosen as broker for the company and he has visited the mine and is convinced that it will be one of the wonders of Northern British Columbia. Some facts about the Silver Cup Mine will be of interest and will be found in the following :- The Silver Cup properties consisting mountain about 12 miles north west of the town of Hazelton and near the main line of the G. T. P. The properties have been under continuous and vigorous development for many months and the rich discoveries and persistency of the ore bodies disclosed have been such as to merit the attention and interest of the best mining engineers in the country. The formation of Ninemile Mountain has been explained by W. W. Leach, Government Geologist, as consisting altered sedimentaries with granitic intrusions. The Silver Cup vein Is a fissure, cutting the formation at a low angle, the ore, an antimonise silver lead, carries high values in silver and lead. By open cuts and tunnels the ore body has been developed to a vertical depth of 1800 feet and it averages from 2 1-2 to 4 1-2 feet in width, the ore increasing in quantity with the depth and maintaining the high values. The company is now arranging a shipment of 100 tons of ore that shows an average gross value slightly more than $98 per ton. The Silver Cup Mines Limited is managed and conducted by.

In respect of statistical tabulations, in typography, in illustrations, in descriptive matter, the Annual Report leads all Canada. The full special reports upon the Extension explosion are of vital interest. The Government is no longer indifferent to the unnecessary loss of life in coal mines.

Whether one approves of licenses or does not it must be admitted by all that the commissioners granted them at the time appointed by law and only after strictly adhering to all the requirements of the act. So far there can be no fair criticism of those grant-H. They were given with impartiality and only after close inspection of the premises and of the legality of the applications. The three'hotel licenses were given to houses which have for a' long time been giving the public good sleeping and dining room accommodation. They were entitled to first consideration.

Victoria has also been experiencing some star chamber sessions. Here is what the Colonist says on the methods: We have been told that there was not really a secret meeting of the City Council on Friday night, when tlie City Engineer was under discussion, and that we did not give a correct report on what took place. That is as it may be. We only know that the reporters were requested to leave the room and that they gave the best account they could under the circumstances. If the account was not quite satisfaeto y, the fault seems t lie with those who prevented t e ep rt s fr m . eing pr se-1 e not w.sh to be u d r.-too i i.s sayin tha th re are no m i ters about w, ich the members of the City Council mi h not properly consult priva ely. What we protect against is t e deciding f gr ve public matters in secret conclave. We have on several occasions spoken of the work of the present council in terms of warm approval. The Aldermen are giving a great deal of tinie and intelligent attention to civic matters. They have shown a determination to give the citizens good service. It is for this reason that we feel free to speak plainly in respect to the only matter concerning which we have any serious reason to complain. We believe there are members of the Aldermanic Board who are quite in ympathy with what has been said above.

Kerr was last night formally inducted as pastor of the Presbyterian church and was given a welcome by the members of his congregation. The ceremony was conducted by Rev. Dr. Fraser, of the First Presbyterian church of Vancouver, who paid a visit to Prince Rupert for the purpose. A. M. Ross acted as moderator and made the introductions. Dr. Fraser preached from a text found in the lesson of the day, "I was blind, yet see." Man whose eyes were anointed with dust by Jesus and told to wash in the pool of Siloam, said the doctor, by that act of washing showed his obedience and submission. The testimony of his experience was sufficient for him so far as theology went, and having received his sight the Saviour was revealed to him. The Doctor has a simple and directly- convincing way with him and a familiar and friendly manner. His argument was that one should think less of creeds and more of work, and this became a text for the evening after the doctor had left, the other ministers who attended and spoke words of welcome to the nw pastor, making reference to the unity of the Presbyterians, Methodists and Congregationalists decreed by the recent Methodist conference and hailing it as an important principle in the coming Christianity. While the visitor was skeaking the Prince Rupert blew her whistle and he had to cut his discourse short. He closed with a strong recommendation of Mr. Kerr. He congratulated*him upon the field of his labors, congratulated the congregation upon receiving the services of a young and able worker. He hoped the church would not attempt to put strings upon the young man's energy but take him into their confidence and permit him to lielp them. Then together they would be able to build a new church very shortly, and a manse in which the pastor could entertain the young men of his flock and thus keep in constant touch with them. He then read the formal questions by the authority placed in his hands by the church declared Mr. Kerr inducted into the pastorate. Donald McLeod and A. M. Ross then offered the young minister the right hand of fellowship and the first named delivered the address to the minister and the latter the | one to the congregatiln. Rev. Sing spoke a welcome for the of Church and State Have Endorsed LIFE INSURANCE Rev.

He was glad that his pastorate had started in a place somewhat remote, where they had the whole country to themselves and where' the ministers had the opportunity of assisting in building up a great city. If they neglected their christian duty then not only they but the whole city would suffer, and if each did their part, keeping ever before them the Kingdom of God it would be a city to be proud of.

James, of the Church of England, said he had an unbounded admiration for the Presbyterian church and had pleasure in welcoming Mr. Kerr to this new field. Alex. Manson spoke of the new pastor as a college friend and said that after Mr. Kerr had qualified for the ministry he went to the old country and for two years continued his studies, although at college he had been a leader among many scholars, graduating with the highest honors. He asked the congregation to give the young man a fair opportunity and he could assure them the new pastor was equal to fighting his own way. Rev. Mr. Kerr responded to the encouraging remarks that had been made, speaking in a light, pleasant way, and taking up the points of these remarks. Rev. Sing had expressed a hope that church unity would do away with "sheep-stealing" from congregations and in regard to this Mr. Kerr said that if Mr. Sing had stolen any of the Presbyterian nock while the church had been held latex.

ANOTHER GOLD BRICO06BERY TWENTY GOLD BARS LOST ON WAY FROM TANANA Shipped From Fairbanks and En Route Strong Boxes Were Opened, Gold Replaced With Lead and? Boxes Carefully Resealed. (Special to the Optimist) .Seattle, .Sept. 15.���Details of the robbery of an express package between Whitehorse and Skagway have now been made public. It was at first reported that the sum missing amounted to $ 57,000 part of a shipment from Fairbanks of $170,000, but it now transpir s that only twenty gold bars were missing. They have been taken from the strong boxes in which the shipment was made, lead to about the same weight put in their place and the boxes closed and resealed. The Washington and Alaska Bank of Fairbanks delivered the boxes containing the gold to the Yukon Express company, and at Dawson, after an examination they were turned over to the Alaska-Pacific Express company, carried to Skagway and placed on the Humboldt. The steamship company insists that the gold was not stolen on the Humboldt as the purser's office was never vacant. The hunt for the thieves has therefore narrowed down to the voyage of the gold between Dawson and Whitehorse.

PULL WITH LAURIER j Old Story Bobs Up With a New Face On It , Montreal, Sept. 14.���Apropos of the I Eucharistic Congress which is at present being held here, they are telling a new story around town. It is a sort of supplement to one well known in Ontario, ! when the habitant com ng into civilization after years in the back woods heard of the death of Queen Victoria, and of the succession of King Edward to the throne. "What a pull that man Edward must have with Laurier," the habitant exclaimed. This story concerns the same habitant who on an another occasion came from the woods and learned of the demise of Pope Leo XIII. "What, Leon Treize dead?" he exclaimed. "That's too bad." Then��� "Well, I'll bet you no Protestant gets that job from Laurier." NEW IKEDA COMPANY Syndicate Handling Japanese Mine Has Been Reorganized SEALEY TOWNSITE agents: ALDOUS & ROBERTSON, Sealey P.O. Address - HAZELTON One-Armed Locksmith i has returned and is ready for business. SHOP ON SECOND AVE. rear of Currie's Shoe Shop. o9.16 The Ikeda syndicate has been reorganized and will be known as the Ikeda Mines, Limited. It is a Vancouver venture, having been organized by Mr. S. J. Castlemen, .of that city, those associated with him being Messrs. R. P. McLennan, W. H. Armstrong, George Harrison, W. C. Ditmars, W. R. Phillips, F. W. Lantz, of Vancouver; John F. Gait, of Winnipeg, and Senator J. H. Ross, ex-govefnor of the Yukon, Ottawa. Last autumn the syndicate bonded this group of copper properties at Ikeda Bay, Moresby Island, Queen Charlottes, for $200,000 and the second payment of $30,000 has just been made. A Japanese company opened up the mine its shipments totalling 6,500 tons, yielding average values of from 4 to 5 per cent, copper, three ounces of silver and $3 gold a ton. The original owners have consented to take the balance of the purchase price in stock in the new company, except $12,000 due in March next. The authorized capital of the new company will be $850,000 in shares of the par value of $1 each. The group comprises forty-seven claims and eight fractions, only one having undergone any development. Mr. A. G. Larson, consulting mining engineer, of Vancouver, soon after the bond was secured recommended using a diamond drill and this proved the existence of two new ore bodies. The ore ran as high as 18 per cent, copper, half an ounce in gold and several ounces of silver to the ton. Further development work is now to be undertaken, and prospects are regarded as very rosy, indeed. E. R. Finney's Little Frisk Coming down from Stewart yesterday on board the Prince Rupert E. R. Finney got a little excited owing to the ffect, it is thought, of the luggage he brought aboard with him at Stewart���in a bottle. He got l ngry with a chair and used it violently, but was gently persuaded to desist, by the skipper and a number of the crew who mildly expostulated with him. After being treated to a period of r st and quiet behind a securely fastened door, he was landed at Prince Rupert city where he is now continuing the "rest and quiet" treatment under care of Chief McCarvell until the county officials prescribe for his future.
