Arrived Home. A. \Y. Agnew, a well known engineer fid Guy Tooker, his assistant, arrived i Prince Rupert Harbor on the morning May 24th about 10 o'clock. They feme down from Port Simpson in Mr. Hamilton's yacht which rescued them torn the craft and were greeted here by neii friends. They were taken in charge ly R. L.

A good night's sleep in their own beds their handsome quarters on Fourth venuo did much for the long lost Mineers. This morning, when the (ptimist called he was greeted with Jsmile from both men who were lounging their smoking apartment. Both said P.ey were feeling a little weak but otherwise were pretty fit. They would not, lowever, make the trip again under any Jrcumstances. Left Stewart. I We left Stewart on the morning of W 10th," said Mr. Agnew, "intending J come direct to Prince Rupert. We lok only enough providions for the trip. lyerything went all right until we reach- Jap Point, just below Port Simpson, P" there our engine stopped. The poiine had water in it and we were helpless. The engine refused to start again. That was on Wednesday night, midnight. A heavy gale sprang up and we started to drift. We were at the mercy of the tide and the waves. We drifted on and on, not knowing where we were going. On Thursday afternoon we struck the rocks of Cape Fox in Alaska, a distance of 40 or 50 miles north west by west from Jap point. Here our staunch little yacht was dashed to pieces along with our canoe. That looked like the end for us. We were out of the line of steamers, without food ancl without a tool with which to make a raft. We managed to save about six pounds of flour and four pounds of oat meal, and a couple of pieces of candle. These latter we used to grease the frying pan with and we made pancakes by mixing the flour and meal with salt water. We also had a couple of meals of clams but they were scarce and we could not catch a fish of any kind. We had to come down to eating mussels- and that's pretty tough. We found three potatoes on shore and once half a radish floated up to us. They were devoured eagerly and without question. Built a Raft. Realizing that life on the Cape would be short the heroes took the bull by the horns and decided to fight fate to the last ditch. "We started gathering driftwood," continued Mr. Agnew, "to make a raft. We had no tools whatever except one small cook knife. We gathered in the logs and we had to burn them in two or three pieces to get them the right length. Then we used stones to drive the old spikes out and later to drive them in to fasten the logs together. In due time we fashioned a raft that would make you laugh. It was our only chance. We made paddles out of drift wood and a sail out of the cover of the bed tick. "On Sunday, May 15th, we got on our 'life preserver' and took little Pat, the dog with us. Poor little fellow, he had a hard time, but he pulled through. We started for Port Simpson, or for the first boat we could sight We had no idea how far we were away. The first day we made but little headway, but kept on day after day and night after night, only stopping to gather clams or mussels and for a rest. It was a hopeless task, but we were not hopeless and always expected to reach home. Refused to Help Them. "For nine long days and nine long nights we paddled and apparently made no headway, but finally on Tuesday we sighted the Petriana about three o'clock in the morning bound for Port Simpson. We hailed her and the lookout answered our signals. He asked us what we wanted and we replied that we were in distress on a raft -and wanted to be taken off. The lookout's reply we did not catch, but he kept his ship headed for Simpson and left us to the mercy of the tide and the waves. To us that was one of the hardest knocks of the whole trip. We cannot imagine what kind of an excuse the fellow will offer. "A half hour later, about a quarter of a mile from Port Simpson, we sighted Mr. Hamilton's launch coming towards us. Our hearts leaped with joy. We were saved! We got into the launch and one of the first things was bread ar.d butter. I tell you I never tasted anything so good in my life before. We wired from Port Simpson of our safe arrival and we reached here about ten o'clock;yesterday morning." Searching Parties. The rescue caused many to feel relieved. From the time it was first dis- NEW COUNCIL AT WORK FIRST MEETING HELD IN THE COURT HOUSE. Big Batch Of Communications Read By Acting Clerk Alderman Smith Temporary Quarters Suggested For Use As City Hall. CONTINUED ON PAGE 5 Prince Rupert's city council is now well under way. The mayor and aldermen met on Monday night for a couple of hours or more and got through a lot of work. The organization was commenced by the appointment of the standing committees and already several matters have been referred to them. Another meeting will be held by them this evening at 8 o'clock. Those present were Mayor Stork, in the chair, Aid. Smith, Barrow, Mclntyre, Mobley, Hilditch, Pattullo. The mayor called the meeting to order and stated that he had a copy of the constitution of the Vancouver municipality and suggested that as their method of procedure. The secretary read the munutes of the noon meeting and they were adopted Communications. Secretary Aid. Smith read the following communications:��� From the Haliday Machinery Co., of Seattle, asking for information and specifications for the proposed new power house. From Wm. C. Currie, applying for position of assessor. From Alex. Potter, of new York, asking to be allowed to prepare plans for the proposed water works system. From the Kerr Engine Co., of Walker- ville, Ont., asking to be allowed to give figures on hydrants, pipes, valves, etc., in connection with the water works system. From J. Richards, of Brandon, Man., enquiring as to the prospects of a moving picture show here. From O. J. Trouts of Albany, Ore., asking for information of the town and what opening there would be for a planing mill. From W. H. Derry, town, applying for position of Constable. From Grand View hotel, applying for license to sell liquor. From John T. Wood, town, applying for position on police force. From H. M. Leonard, asking that he be given an opportunity to place the city debentures on the market. From W. H. Dockstader, Victoria, applying for position of Chief of Police. From F. W. Kelly complaining about the dangerous condition of the roads. City Solicitor. Alderman Pattullo stated that one of the first things the council should do ���was to appoint a city solicitor as bylaws have to be prepared shortly, and legal advice is required at all times. Alderman Mobley agreed with this, but said that from what he could learn the solicitors were expecting to receive an outrageous salary. He had heard $4,000 and $6,000 mentioned. Aid. Mclntyre presumed that a larger salary would have to be paid here than elsewhere on account of the conditions being different. He did not see how the council could be justified in paying such a salary as mentioned. Alderman Hilditch said that Vancouver only paid $1,200. Aid. Pattullo did not think the city could get a solicitor the first year for less than $3000, as he would be kept busy the greater part of his time. After the by-laws are framed up, and the heavy work done, a smaller salary could be paid. . Aid. Hilditch thought the lawyers should be asked to tender for the position Aid. Smith suggested that a solicitor be employed for three months, at a salary of $250 per month and after that time the council could decide what to do. This suggestion met with general approval and was adopted. The lawyers will be communicated with by the Finance Committee. The city to furnish a stenographer. City Clerk. Aid. Hilditch introduced the matter of a city clerk, and after some discussion it was decided that the mayor secure a man to fill the psotion temporarily. Centre St. Road. Aid. Lynch in referring to the repairs on Centre street reminded the council that that was G. T. P. property. The company had also refused to spend any more money on it, but intended to turn it over to the city, if not exactly in the same place as it is now, it would be quite near. He thought the city should look after this at once. On the suggestion of Aid. Pattullo, the mayor was instructed to take the matter up with Mr. Chamberlain. His Worship said he would do so as a whole new deck was needed on the road and a proper grade should be struck before any great expense was put on the road. Temporary Quarters. His Worship stated that in connection with temporary quarters for the City Hall he had seen Mr Christie about the old Bank of Commerce building. He had been referred to Mr. Ryley, but he had not heard from him yet. He said the streets and property committee should get busy at once on plans for a city hall and police station. He understood from Mr. Manson that there was a site near the fire hall. Aid. Mobley said the council should decide on rate of taxation for this year in order to get finances. Alderman Pattullo suggested that each committee prepare an estimate of their requirements for the year. Mayor Stork said the city would issue debentures for telephone, electric light plant and these could all be voted on by the people at the one time. There was a discussion caused by Alderman Lynch mentioning the water supply from Woodworth lake. In this j matter the services of one or two en- 1 gineers and a solicitor were required and | the matter should be taken up at once. Aid. Pattullo moved that the Streets committee be instructed to prepre a report re engaging a temporary engineer and present ti at the next meeting. Aid. Mobley seconded the motion and it carried. Alderman Barrow again brought up the question of a temporary engineer to have the streets repaired and other work cleaned up so the permanent man would not be unnecessarily delayed in starting on the big work. Alderman Mobley moved that the Streets committee be authorized to proceed at once with repairing the plank roads���carried. Alderman Hilditch asked for instructions as to the purchase of the necessary J lumber and supplies for repairs. He was told by the mayor to get whatever was eeded, whereever he wished for the present. George V. to Arbitrate, Representatives ol the American and Chilean governments in London having charge of the celebrated Alsop claim, which was shortly to have been presented to King Edward for arbitration, have been informed by the United States government and that of Chili that King George V will undertake the arbitration of this claim and the matter will be presented to him about August 1 next. SPORTS OF EMPIRE DAY BRILLIANT WEATHER AND A VERY LARGE CROWD. Contests Entirely Confined To Children, While Happy Parents Look On���Thrilling Boxing Bout Between the Two Reddies. Empire Day at Prince Rupert yesterday was as successful a celebration as the one given last year, with the additional pleasure of having our own mayor and members of our own city council, as well as our member of the provincial parliament "among the notables present." It was glorious weather and the convenient hillside on First avenue again formed a commodious natural amphitheatre from which the sports could be viewed. Scarcely a stump, or a bump of the ground could be seen, so thickly was it covered with people sitting or standing. William H. Vickers was the "whole push" this year as well as last. The day previous, upon his initiative, a handsome sum was subscribed, more than enough to purchase a liberal supply of prizes and the balance forms a neuclus for the July 1st celebration fund. Mr. Vickers was the busiest man on the job all afternoon. He was ably assisted by W. E. Burritt, who attended to the entries, Lionel Crippen, clerk of the course and C. D. Newton as general manager. The judges were Wm. Man- son, M. P. P., Alderman Mobley and Dr. N. M. McNeill. The sports, which were for children only, began about two o'clock and lasted until nearly six, when they closed with Mr. Vickers appearing in a cart as a sort of young Santa Claus, delivering the prizes .von to the pushing, swarming, sweating, yelling winners. They began with races for the little tots, followed by races for the bigger boys and girls, aftef which followed other contests of skill and endurance in rapid succession���the latter point being a distinct and much applauded feature. The winner of the high jump won great applause, not only by the local height record for his age and size, but for the grace and ease with which he took his CONTINUED ON PAGE 2 BIG FIRE AT METLAKATLA Camping Party Started Bonfire In The Grass���Spread Rapidly And The Village Was Threatened. Metlakatla had a close call yesterday i from being destroyed by fire. It took I thc united efforts of all the villagers for j a couple of hours to stop the onward march of the flames, which looked at times to be very dangerous. The fire was caused by a party of picnickers from Prince Rupert who started a bon fire in the dry grass and hay. Everything in the neighbourhood was perfectly dry and the bonfire got away from the watchers and was soon licking up the hay in large quantities. It sprung rapidly towards the village and all hands turned in and helped. The fire engine did good service and tha natives worked like Trojans. Picnic and camping parties should be particular about their camp fires. There is no limit to tne damage that a little carelessness will cause. Metlakatla was nearly destroyed and had it not been that all the villagers were enjoying the holiday at home, and listening to the band on the green.the result would have been disastrous. As it was, the fire was a big one and could be plainly seen from Prince Rupert. ;J I I II \ym-v WmWK^mlivSXKmmWBm^mWmmmWTmlmtmmmmMm THE PRINCE RUPERT OPTIMIST Your Own Terms WE HAVE AN IMMENSE LIST OF LOTS in all sections direct from owners, who are able to make enticing terms.

Some fiery speeches were made and the New York legislature, which a few days ago refused to pass a bill for universal suffrage, was loudly hooted and derided. A resolute campaign is to be opened in all of what are known as the suffragette states and a big representative delegation to be sent to Washington, where the senators and congressman are to be given a taste of the treatment accorded by the women to the members of the British house of parliament.

The Grand Trunk Pacific Coast jervice will be inaugurated on Sunday, June 12th, when the steamer Prince Rupert will leave Seattle at midnight and arrive here on Wednesday at 1 p.m. She will be met here by the Prince Albert which will leave at 3 p.m. on her first trip to the islands. The establishment of the G. T. P. boat service has been anxiously awaited. It means much to this city and to northern British Columbia. The dreams o( a couple of years ago are now being realized, and Prince Rupert will tender a royal welcome to the new boats. The Prince Albert will leave Vancouver lead of the Prince George and will be here when the latter arrives. The Albert make the trip around the island and it back in time to meet the Prince which will arrive on Sunday 1 Op. m.. Then the Albert will call it tke northern points. Thus she will w the northern points once a week, i bring all the ports and Prince Ru- rt into direct communication. She run on a schedule and that means great deal to Prince Rupert as well s e business people at the different ports. It will do much to build up the oca! trade and bring business here that w goes south. The Prince Rupert and Prince George ill go to Stewart, making the trip from ire in 10 hours. These two boats are ueh the fastest on the service and ve at least four or five hours from Van- tver to here. A complete schedule the three boats will be found below. must be remembered however, that 8 Prince Rupert starts on June 12th, iGeorge, and the Prince Albert on June 15th. The Prince George will not arrive from the old country until one month later, and she will not get into commission until the first Thursday in July. Already the Prince Rupert has secured a full list of passengers for her first trip. The public, including business people and tourists applied for reservations very early. This is a bright outlook for the new boats. That they will get all the business they can handle is assured as they have the carrying capacity and make the time. A Reception. Upon the arrival of the Prince Rupert on June 15th, Captain Nicholson, the general manager of the coast service and the other officials who will accompany him, will tender a reception to thc mayor and council, representatives of the Board of Trade, Publicity Club, Real Estate Exchange, the press and others on board the boat. These will also be shown over the boat. After two o'clock and until 5 p. m., the public will be welcome to go aboard and inspect the ship. This invitation will undoubtedly be accepted by a majority of the citizens as the Prince Rupert will be the finest steamer that has yet .entered the harbour. Home Port Prince Rupert will be the home port of the steamer Prince Albert and she will secure all her provisions and supplies here, and Prince Rupert will also be the chief port of the two larger boats which start from Seattle and go through to Stewart. The two larger boats will carry 1200 tons of freight and 300 passengers each. NORTHBOUND. S. S. Prince Rupert. Lv. Seattle, Ar. Victoria, Lv. Victoria, Ar. Vancouver, Lv. Van couver, Ar.

Chief Dignitary of Masonic Order Visited Tsimpsean Lodge Saturday Evening���Satisfactory Reports. Tsimpsean Lodge A. F. & A. M. under dispensations had an official visit from most worshipful Brother H. N. Rich of Ladner, B. C. on Saturday night. He is the grand master of the order in British Columbia and his visit was unique in the fact that this is the most northerly point ever visited by a grand master in his official capacity. The grand master was accompanied by Rt. Wor. Bro. J. M. Rudd of Nanaimo. Several other prominent visitors were also present. Tsimpsean Lodge exemplified the third degree for the benefit of the grand master who came on a visit of inspection to recommend the granting of a charter to the lodge. He was well satisfied with the work of W. M. Dowling and his assistants after a thorough examination. The meeting was largely attended by members and local visitors. The lodge room was Willing to Pay. Miggles���'Hello, doctor! How much do I owe you?' Doctor���You don't owe me anything.' Miggles���'Well, I must thank you. anyway. You saved my life.'

Wednesday, May 25 LICENSES WILL WAIT AWHILE. The question of city licenses is still one of the favourite topics of discussion in this city. With some it is a question of business, with others a question of morality, but with most it takes a form of political interest and common curiosity. Now that the boys who are really seeking licenses as a business proposition, get down to details they find that it will be still many long weeks before they can even get a hearing before the tribunal known as the License Commission Board, and then they will have to take chances along with a score or more other applicants who may be more pleasing in the eyes and judgment of the trio who compose the board. The fate of a license applicant is a lingering and oftentimes disappointing affair���particularly if the expectations are built on an election promise. According to statute there are four quarterly meetings.at which a license board may legally take up new business. The next one is early in June, but as none of the applicants can get 30 days' advertising and other legal requirements accomplished in that time, no properly filed application can come before the commission. That means waiting until the second week in September before another legal meeting can be held at which applications legally promoted may be passed upon. In the meantime the city council can pass license regulations, the commissioners can revel in the obeisance of the booze men and the blind pigs will continue to flourish. The new city council, at its first meeting, had spread before them fourteen applications for the portion of city engineer. The applications were there in many ways and with a variety of salaries attached. A city engineer is one of the first officials necessary���and the most important. When the Board of Trade took up the suggestion of the Optimist and advertised for tenders they did a good stroke of business and the new council no doubt appreciate having something tangible to go to work on. Thos. Tremblay, Sherbrooke, Que.' no salary named. S. Pilkins, Winnipeg, salary $2,000. Wm. M. Davis, Berlin, Ont., salary $5,000. R. McDowell, Owen Sound, Ont., salary $4,000 and assistance. W. Collingsworth, Toronto, salary $2.800.. Robt. H. Murray, Toronto, salary $2,000. J. Low Allen, Halifax, N. S., salary $2,500. D. G. Rickets, Vancouver, salary $2,000 with $500 increase next year. P. Schreiber, Winnipeg, salary $3,000. Mayor Stork suggested that, as an engineer's services are required at once, that the aldermen make a selection from the list, although the proper way would be to refer it to a committee to go into the applications. Alderman Barrow suggested that a temporary engineer be employed for immediate work and that a committee take up the question of a'permanent man. Alderman Hilditch agreed with this plan. After the committees were named, Alderman Pattullo and Mclntyre moved that all applications for the position of city clerk be referred to the Streets, Works and Property committee to re- port on.���carried.

The Londen express says that the United States' proposals for a tariff negotiations with Canada is the 'thin edge of the wedge, which America hopes, very naturally and legitimately to drive >n.' The paper says.'the peril to imperial interests i< very grave and very urgei t. Fourteen applications were received by the council on Monday night for the position of City Engineer. These will be considered by the Streets committee and a report made at an early date. In the meantime, the repairs to the roads will be carried on. Acting Clerk, Alderman Smith, had a big pile of communications for the council. Most of them were applications for the position of city engineer. Men wish to come from Halifax in the East and Vancouver in the west, and they ask for salaries running all all the way from $900 to $6,000. The applicants were as follows;��� John Wilson, of Fort William, salary $2,500. E. P. Girdwood, Montreal, salary $1,500. Robert T. Calhoon, Trenton, Ont., silary $900. F. T.

Being Taken to Spokane To-night For Interment. f The steamer Omineca brought down the remains of William J. Salvus, who was killed on Saturday evening by a blast at Mile 148. The deceased ran for cover with the rest of the employees when the warning was given, but he did not get far enough away. A large piece of rock struck him in the stomach and death was instantaneous. The sad affair cast a gloom over the entire camp as Salvus was a general favorite with the men. He was also well known and highly respected in this city and in St. Paul and Spokane. He came here a year and a half ago from Spokane when his brother, P. J. Salvus, took the contract. P. J. Salvus is accompanying the body to Spokane where the funeral will take place. The body will be taken down on the City of Seattle to-day. The deceased is survived by a father, Peter Salvus, and a mother in St. Paul, and four brothers���P. J. of Prince Rupert, Harry Paul and Frank in St. Paul, and George in St. Paul. He was only 24 years of age and unmarried.

FRIZZELL, Theatre Block "' ��� THE PRINCE RUPERT OPTIMIST EMPIRE DAY SPORTS CONTINUED FROM PAGE 2 jumps. One lady was led to ask, "Does he go over the tape or under it?" But the boxing bouts proved the greatest attraction of all, and the battle between the two "Reddies" was the most memorable event in the fistiana history of this young city. How they swatted each other was a sight to be remembered till they and the city grow to manhood maturity. When Reddy the Terrible, otherwise Frank Cameron, and Reddy the Slasher, sometimes called Donald McRae, donned the mitts, faced each other and shook hands, the great crowd at the ringside held its breath. Both "men" were in the pink of condition, but the Terrible had the advantage in point of weight. Notwithstanding this the Slasher led all the way through and forced the fighting. He led with right to face, which the Terrible dodged, and landed a short jab in the ribs. This shook up the Terrible and he threw right and left hooks, jabs and heavy swings as fast as sparks fly from an anvil. The Slasher stood his ground manfully and it was hammer and tongs to the close of the first round. In the second, the Slasher sparred carefully for an opening, but the Terrible rushed him and caught him a stinging left on the chin and a jarring jab in the pie chest. The Slasher rushed again and fought to a clinch, which ended that fast round. The third was even more furious, both men pummeling at close quarters, taking and giving very heavy punishment. Both kept their feet until the gong sounded and the umpire declared it a draw, which decision was greeted with great shouts of satisfaction. There was to be a tug o' war following this, but the owner of the rope was not drawn on either team and he disappeared with the rope in his possession. Little Leonora Pike was given a special prize for her graceful dancing of the sailor's hornpipe. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. W.

FISCAL AGENTS The Main Reef Mining Co. Portland Canal Stocks a Specialty Daily Wires Samuel Harrison LOCAL TRADE BOOMING. Territory for which This City is Distributing Point. When the Port Simpson left Monday morning she cleared up all the freight for up river points, with the exception of a small lot of machinery. This is the first time this spring the wharf has been cleared of up river freight, and the trade in that direction is rapidly growing. The Port Simpson is making two trips per week now, carrying one hundred tons of freight each trip. The Cetriana is another boat that will increase the shipping facilities of the local merchants. Stewar is trading almost entirely now with Prince Rupert for supplies of all kinds-furniture, lumber, hardware, drygoods and groceries. Every steamer going from here has all the freight she can carry, and this evidence that the Stewart tradesmen are so generally favoring Prince Rupert instead of those of Vancouver means a large expansion of the wholesale as well as retail business of this city.

Man is the only animal that blushes or needs to. Wrinkles should merely indicate where smiles have been. It is more trouble to make a maxim than it is to do right. He was as shy as a newspaper when referring to its own merits. The very ink in which history is written is merely fluid prejudice. It was a schoolboy who said faith is believing what you know ain't so. In statesmanship get the formalities right; never mind about the moralities. The principal difference between a lie and a cat is that the cat has onl y nine lives. There are two times in a man's life when he should not speculate, when he can't afford it and when he can. We should be careful to get out of experience only the wisdom there is in it, and stop there; lest we like the cat that sits down on a hot stove lid. She will never sit down on a hot lid again, and that is well; but also she will never sit down on a cold one any more. The Provincial Government has decided to erect a government building, court house and police station at Stewart. The plans for the same have been received by government Agent McMullen and he will get the construction started at once. UNCLE WALT'S CORNER. Saturday Evening. The hausfrau has the shanty snug, from kitchen sink to parlor rug, for dad is coming home; of dust there is no sign or trace, and everything is in its place; contentment glows upon her face, for dad is coming home. She's worked all week from sun to sun; the hausfrau's work is never done���but dad is coming home; her hands are hard from doing things��� the bread she bakes, the clothes she rings! ���but as she does her work she sings, for dad is coming home. She'll see him in a little while, and he'll reward her with a smile, for dad is coming home, and all her weariness will fly, as evanescent as a sigh, before his loving gentle eye, for dad is coming home. The little kids can hardly wait! They're out there watching by the gate, for dad is coming home! And he will draw the youngsters near, and exercise each childish fear, and tell the yarns they like to hear��� their dad is coming home! These humble homes where love abides, where trouble takes its grip and hides, when dad is coming home! They are this nation's greatest prize; so, let there still be joyous cries, and happy hearts and smiling eyes when dad is coming home!

CHARITY or BUSINESS ��� Which? ��� THE germ of both Life and Fire Insurance had its rise in the custom of taking up a collection for the stricken family. We all chipped in in the hope and expectation that if we were snuffed out by either sickness or accident, the neighbors would do as much for us. Life insurance avoids the uncertainty of leaving things to neighbors. It is a business plan, founded on laws of mathematics and sound economy, to provide for those dependent on us in case of death. Life insurance is no longer a charity, or quasialtruism, any more than fire insurance is. Life insurance is a duty and a privilege. To eliminate the distressing results of death, through insurance, payable to business partners, wife, or children, seems but common prudence. Lord Nelson in his will left his wife and daughter "to the tender care of the British Nation, to which I have given my life." And the wife and daughter- gravitated to the Poor House; for what is everybody's business is nobody's business. Don't leave your loved ones to the care of the public or the neighbors. The neighbors may have troubles of their own. Cut out the risk and worry by insuring in the Sun Life of Canada The cost is nominal; the results phenomenal. Let us talk the matter over with you. F. B.

Up Gold Creek from Kitselas Superintendent Gone Up. Road superintendent Clarke left on the Port Simpson on Monday morning for Kitselas where he will get the work started on the trails up the Gold Creek district. These trails were originally built some years ago but have been overgrown and require re-opening. The superintendent will have them ready for the big rush of prospectors who are preparing to go up the Gold Creek this summer. Many valuable claims were staked last season and the district has not been scratched yet. The Kitselas Prospectors Association are taking an active interest in the district. Government Agent McMullen also intends to visit Kitselas in the near future, possibly next week if he can make the grade. This week he goes to Stewart and the Portland Canal district. When at Kitselas he will go over the work under way at present and also inquire into what is necessary for the future. London Editor Dead. Malcolm Bremner, for many years managing editor and chief editorial writer of the London, Ont. Free Press, and one of the best known newspaper men in Ontario, was found dead in bed last week. He was in his usual health when he retired. The Big Dunsmuir Deal. A first payment of $2,200,000 out of the $11,000,000 involved in the deal has been made by William Mackenzie to James Dunsmuir and by which the Dunsmuir collieries pass into the hands of a syndicate of capitalists organized by the president of the Canadian Northern. It is understood that the purchase will be completed on June 15, the balance of the sum on that date being paid to Mr. Dunsmuir. A condition of the sale is said to be that Dunsmuir takes $4,000,000 of the Canadian Northern bonds. MINING Gold Creek District. All the way from the mouth of Gold Creek to its headwaters eighteen miles away, very promising properties were located last season, all giving good essays in gold, silver, and copper, while others are placer claims on the creek itself on which coarse gold can be sluiced right on the surface of the bars. A good trail was built up Gold Creek a number of years ago, but since then a portion of it has been grown over by brush and in some places it is filled by rock slides. $6,500 has been appropriated for repair of this trail this season, and it is believed that the road Superintendent will be here very soon to start the work. If all the reports are true concerning Gold Creek and the surrounding hills, a more promising field for the incoming prospectors is hard to find. Considerable capital will surely come in this summer, and a boom that will equal that on in Portland Canal may be reasonably expected before fall. Those interested in the Bulkley Valley and Hudson's Bay Mountain are expecting a rush there this summer. Very rich claims were located last season and things look good for the coming year. A cable is being stretched across the Skeena River for the purpose of oper- ating a ferry at Kitselas. The recent finds of copper, gold, silver, iron and coal up the Copper river has attracted a great many prospectors and the ferry will take them across the Skeena with their packs and supplies. Mancel Clarke has located three iron claims about 38 miles up the Copper river and it runs about 38 per cent iron. He states that the body is 4,500 feet by 3000. Samuel Harrison left on the Beatrice at noon to-day for Vancouver and he will also attend the sale of Stewart lots at Victoria on May 30th and 31st. Goods must be bought in the right markets to get the prices. Ben Davis Apples, $2.50 box. Select Fresh Eggs, $8.75 per case; 3 dozen for $1.00.
