London, May 7,���The official time of the King's death is given out by Knollys as 11.45 p. m. The end was kept secret from the world half an hour though newspaper men were in waiting for more than twelve hours. An anxious crowd numbering thousands waic- ; ed silently outside Buckingham Palace. Throughout the day all the churches in Great Britain were offering pray- I ers. The members of the Royal Family were summoned early in the afternoon, , and outside this circle Archbishop ; Canterbury was the only person with : the physicians. According to rumors in the City to night, the King's death was really i caused by cancer in the throat, such as his aunt, the Empress Frederick of Germany, died from. The King, while conscious this afternoon, said he thought the end was near and he ! hoped he had done his duty. Queen Alexandra has borne up well. It was thought early this afternoon that an operation would prolong the King's life, but it was later decided that the patient was too weak. The Prince of Wales was the first to come out of the death chamber, and as he passed the outer doors the guards gave him the King's salute, which he acknowledged with tears in his eyes. King Edward's death comes at a critical period, with a political crisis at hand. The general expression here is that the new King is weak compared with his father. Preparations were made early this afternoon to bolster up securities, but the market situation is serious and chaotic. The death of the Monarch is keenly felt all over the world. The Beloved Monarch of the World's Greatest Empire and tolling of bells made known the J Empire's bereavment. Premier Laurier has made no public statement, pending official government action. Hon Borden, Hon. Fielding and all the cabinet | united in tributes to the dead monarch. All entertainments are cancelled. Passed Away at 11.45 Last Night���The Illness Was Sudden���The World in Mourning���Stock Market Chaotic. rmgam a��������������� Information in Brief King Edward was born November 9, 1845.

To-night there will be a meeting of the Publicity Club with representatives from the Board of Trade and Real Estate Exchange for the consideration of issuing a new advertisng booklet. The public are also invited to the court house at 8 p.m. Fears Responsibility London, May 7,���Prince George, as the King lay dying, sadly admitted to those around that he feared assuming the responsibility of the monarchy with affairs in such a crisis. The grief of th Queen Alexandra is most pathetic and friends of the royal couple say that they were deeply in love of late years. Her condition gives no cause for alarm. The public are criticising the King's physicians, claiming that they should not have allowed King Edward to go to the rigorous climate of Biarritz, and to Sandringham, where he caught his fatal cold. It is conceded, however, that indiscretions only hastened the end which was inevitable. Arrangements for the funeral are in abeyance until the cabinet meets. The members are scattered, but are expected immediately. The House of Commons will be in session Monday. The King of Portugal cabled to-day he would attend the funeral. King George Proclaimed London, May 7,���At two o'clock this afternoon King George Fifth was proclaimed from the steps of St. James' Palace.

GUILTY OF MANSLAUGHTER Verdict Against Lofstedt, the Wife Killer���Jury Out Five Minutes���Judge Altered Charge. Vancouver, May 6,���Lofstedt the Prince Rupert prisoner on trial for ' killing his wife, was found guilty of manslaughter by the jury yesterday. Judge Murphy, who presided at the Court instructed that the charge of murder be changed to manslaughter, after hearing the evidence. The jury retired, and were out just five minutes. The evidence was much the same as given at the preliminary hearing here. Mrs. Kincaid told of an alleged confession of Lofstedt in the presence of herself, the doctor and George Nuttall, another neighbour and an engineer on the G. T. P. Mrs. Kincaid claimed that the prisoner's reply that he did it because the wife wanted to go away with another man. The defence endeavoured to prove that Mrs. Lofstedt was killed by the | fall off the porch, and not from the blows inflicted by the prisoner. Lofstedt did not give evidence himself. Following a tiff between the counsels in the case as to whether constable Hazlett's evidence should be heard, Judge Murphy said that constable should be told not to ask questions of a prisoner after they make an arrest.

A. Merrill, Agent INSERT YOUR LAND PURCHASE NOTICES IN THE OPTIMIST THE PRINCE RUPERT OPTIMIST G.T.P. GENERAL SECRETARY l>: TALKS ABOUT THE WONDERFUL GROWTH OF THIS WONDERFUL CITY OF THE NORTH Congratulates The Optimist on its Development into the Daily Field ���Looks for It Every Week H. Philip, general secretary of the Grand Trunk Pacific Ry., Montreal, j is one of those in Mr Chamberlain's party. To the Optimist Mr. Philip] stated that this was his fourth trip here j The first one was in 1907, before the! place had been selected as the terminal port. He was here a year ago before j the sale of lots, and when they were just beginning to construct the plank roads. There was practically no building then. Each visit has seen a wonderful difference in the place. When he was coming up the harbor this time and could see the road bed all graded and tracks laid and then as he rounded the island and caught a glimpse of the city and all the buildings that had been put up he was filled with wonder He did not think such progress was possible, although he had all faith in the city and the people here. He was not only surprised, but he was delighted with the substantial business blocks going up, as well as the fine residences. He was also surprised at the amount of construction now going on. He looked for Prince Rupert to be one of the greatest Coast cities, and deemed investment here was as safe as any bank. When the railroad is completed it will develop a country that will mean much to this city and he could not see where there would be any slump in prices. This city would be the exception. While it is booming now, it is not a bubble, and it will continue to boom. In all his trips to this great city, Mr. Philip has always struck fine weather and his visit has always been of the most pleasant. He congratulated the Optimist on its development into the daily field. He always looked every week for the Optimist, to learn what was going on here and he would be glad to get the daily edition in future. the work is already done and of all the Contractors only one has dropped. The others are well satisfied with their proposition. Several Cases Disposed of By Judge Young Last Week. ln the County Court on Tuesday, His Honor Judge Young found three cases on the docket. The action of the Grand Trunk Pacific vs. John H. Kirkpatrick was called first, but was withdrawn upon the defendant putting up the plea that the value of the land in question was over $2,500, and that he was on a mineral claim. Mr. W. E. Fisher for the plaintifff, arid Mr. L. W. Patmore for defendant. The action of G. T. P. Town & Development Co. vs. Hamilton Douglas resulted in a similar way. Mr. W. E. Fisher for plaintiffs and Mr. A. M. Manson for defendant. WEDNESDAY'S SESSION. On Wednesday morning, before Judge Young, the case of John Bremner vs. Gipsy Hamilton was non-suited upon the motion of the defendant's solicitor, Mr. A. M. Manson. His Honor held that the plaintiff did not make out a case. The claim was for chimneys erected on the house in which the defendant lives. Mr. W. E. Fisher ap. peared for the plaintiff. FOR NATURALIZATION. His Honor Judge Young received 136 applications for naturalization on Wednesday last, but only granted 20 of them. The majority of the applications were irregular, and owing to the large foreign population his honor insists on the personal appearance of the applicant. Real Estate Business. Real Estate generally has improved considerably the past week and several good sales were put through while others were still pending. Mr. JameB Allen Government Agent at Atlin, was here investing in Prince Rupert business lota. Messrs. McCaffery & Gibbons have purchased lots 21 and 22 on Fifth Avenue for an outside party from Mr Blain of Alaska. The price paid was $2,750. Diamond Drill. A diamond drill is being used on the Japanese mine and good results are being obtained. u w Good Value in Gold. Mr. Davidson, manager of the Com- sewa Mining Co., was a passenger on the S.S. Amur on Monday. He had been on a visit to the mine at Consewa Inlet where the prospects of successful operations are very bright. The assays show good values in gold and silver A lot of ore is being taken out. New Manager of the Portland Canal Mining Co. Mr. C. H. Dickie, head of the Portland Canal Mining Co., was in the city a couple of days last week on his way up to the Company's mine. He was accompanied by Mr. Wm. J. Elmendorf, of Spokane, a well known Mining Engineer, who has accepted the position of manager of the Company's operations at Portland Canal. Mr. Dickie stated to the Optimist lhat work on the concentrating mill and the aerial tramway which connecis rhe mine and mill would be rushed. He expected that the mill would be ready to run by mid-summer. The Company has a large body of ore blocked out, sufficient to continue operations for several years. Mr. Dickie will organize the campaign for the year and it will be on a much larger scale than heretofor. Some 50 or 60 men will be employed. Mr. French, of the Hudson Bay Co., was in the city last week and left on Sunday on the Port Simpson for the canyon and Hazelton. At the canyon he will arrange for the reconstruction of the two warehouses which collapsed last winter under the weight of snow. The new buildings will be erected at once. The one below the canyon will be much larger than the old one, in fact, all the available land will be utilized. The one above will be about the same size. Mr. French will be away two or three weeks and expects that before he comes back the warehouses will be nearly completed. Asked by the Optimist what the prospects were for the season's operations, Mr. French stated that they were very bright, especially in the freight line. The immense quantity of railway supplies to go up the river would alone guarantee full cargoes, while the local freight is increasing very rapidlv. The Hudson Bay Co. have not decided to put on any new boats this season. Mr. T. Planitz, of the British Columbia Real Estate Syndicate, has returned after a three weeks trip to Seattle, Vancouver and Victoria. He reports a very successful trip. To the Optimist he stated that he took down 42 lots with him and sold them all without effort. He could have easily sold many more. While he made his headquarters in Victoria, where he established a branch of the B. C. R. E. S., he said that wherever he went he found that public opinion favored Prince Rupert. Everyone is talking about this city and they have the utmost confidence in the future development. He expressed himself as confi- fident that in a few days or weeks a great many people from the three cities he visited will come up here with plenty of capital to invest in Prince Rupert real estate. He looks for heavy trading in a short time. The weather in Vancouver and Victoria has been very backward. While he was there it was cold with lots of rain and snow. That feature had a tendency to keep the people at home. Speaking of the local trading in real estate Mr. Planitz said that the last two days quite a number of middle priced property had been turned over and there was a steady improvement. F. Collins, a passenger on the Princess Royal from Skagway to Vancouver, died in his berth sometime between Sunday night and Monday morning, from heart failure. He was around the boat Sunday evening apparently as well as ever, but on Monday morning he did not appear at breakfast. About noon the head steward went to stateroom, which was No. 12, but got no reply, so he climbed in through window from the deck. Collins was found dead in his berth and his body was cold, he having died several hours earlier. Upon arrival in port Dr. Tre- mayne and coroner McMullin were notified. The Doctor pronounced it a case of heart failure and an inquest was deemed unnecessary. Hayner Bros., took charge of the body and prepared it for shipment to Vancouver. The deceased was a single man, about 51 years of age. He was an operator on the Yukon-White Pass Railway at Yukon Crossing. He had been there for the past twelve years and was coming down to see his relatives in Wisconsin for the first time since he went North. He was very popular in the Yukon and general regret will be felt there over his sudden and sad demise. FERRY AT ZANARDI G.T.P. WILL TRANSFER RAILS AND MATERIAL UNTIL THE BRIDGE IS COMPLETE "Track laying will be pushed with all possible speed from now on" said | Mr. Chamberlain, General Manager I of the G. T. P. Ry., to the Optimist 1 at noon to-day. "We have secured the j scow Georgia and we are putting in J ferry slips at the Zenardi Rapids to I ferry the material across. We expect the track laid right up to the top of the river ready for trains to run over by the time the bridge is completed. The work has been progressing very , fast, but we expect it will go a little 1 faster now." "What about the Zenardi Bridge," asked the Optimist. "We are getting along very well with it. If we have no difficulty with j the last two piers, the bridge contractor should be able to commence the erection of steel by the 1st of Jnne." Asked about the station, Mr Chamberlain said he saw no reason for altering the original plans which provide for the station alongside the hotel. In order to do any excavating the hotel will have to come out, and the General Manager did not see how that could be done at present. As for the work here, Mr. Chamberlain is satisfied. He has been on a steady tramp from the time he arrived and has gone over most of the ground. This afternoon he went over the grading being done to the end of the docks and around the island. This morning he went over the western yards. The chief feature in Mr Chamberlain's mind appears to be to rush the work all along the line, and that means putting on a larger force and a bigger payroll. A GREAT COLLECTION Of Curios From all Parts of the World On Tuesday last the Water Committee met and opened tenders for the supply of pipes for the water extensions now being made on Sixth Avenue and also for the necessary lumber. These tenders were received for the pipes and the contract was awarded to the Municipal Pipe Co., their tender being the lowest. Only one tener for supplying lumber was received and it was accepted. The tenders were.- For Water Pipe Municipal Pipe Co., Pacific Coast Pipe Co., Dominion Pipe Co., For lumber. Union Transfer Co., $20. per m. The contractors on-the excavation are getting along well. Fully one half $1672.85 1788.00 1802.25 D. H. Lee, of Seattle, was in the city last week on his way to his home after a ten days trip to Stewart and his mineral claims on Bitter Creek. Mr. Lees is very enthusiastic over the way his claims are turning out, and he is confident that Bitter Creek mines will prove to be the best proposition of all the properties up there. His mines show galena with a very promising vein of gold running across. There is a ledge of from 20 to 30 feet. The galena ledge is 8 to 10 feet and the seams of this ore he has had assayed averages $40. to the ton. Mr. Lee and his son went up to the mineand the son will remain there while Mr. Lee will return to Seattle for a month when he will come back and begin development operations in earnest. In speaking of Stewart, Mr. Lee said to the Optimist that it was growing very rapidly, although as yet the building has been handicapped on account of the deep snow. He estimated that there is about three and one half feet in Stewart and about four feet outside. It is melting very fast, however, and in three or four weeks will all be gone A townsite has been asked for at the mouth of Bitter Creek and a hotel and a couple of stores are being established there now. Captain Wm. Berndt, of the Humboldt S. S. Co's Germanicus, made many warm friends during his two weeks stay in Prince Rupert while his boat was being unloaded of the rails for the G. T. P. The captain has been 30 years a sea captain and, like thousands of others, went to sea soon after he learned to walk. His boat arrived here on April 12th, and cleared again for Nanaimo for orders. The Germanicus was from Hamburg, Germany, and she took her cargo at Cape Breton. While in Prince Rupert Captain Berndt was introduced to Captain Buckholtz of the Henriette, and during ] the early stages of their conversation, j they discovered that they had been shipmates 32 years ago. At the time, ��� Capt. Berndt was second officer on a German ship and Capt. Buckholtz was a seaman. They had a great talk over old times, as neither had met during the past 32 years. One of the most interesting features of the Germanicus, and the one which attracted most attention from the visitors, was the captain's collection of curios. His little museum is a very valuable one and contains specimens of bones and relics that many National museums would greatly prize. The genial captain has been collecting curios ever since he went to sea, and he has something from practically every country in the world. The most important feature of the collection is that every specimen is genuine. Among other things are guns, revolvers, pistols of all kinds and ages and from many countries, including the old Arabian flint-lock and the old silver barrel blunderbus. He has tusks and teeth of almost every kind of animal. There are numerous spear-heads and arrowheads, including a very pretty little blue amethyst arrow-head. There are also many specimens of petrified oysters wood, leaves and part of a mammoth tusk Among the assortment of knives is one that was used by the head hunters of Borneo. The popular pastime of those gentlemen is to hunt men and behead them, and each time a head was secured a little gold plug was inserted in the blade of the knife. This one had 72 plugs in it. The Captain secured this prize while he was in Borneo. The owner had beheaded a man and had been captured by the British. His knife was taken away from from him and also the last head it severed. The captain secured both and has the skull yet. There is a shell fired during the seige of Ladysmith, and part of a Japanese ese shell fired during the attack on Vladivostok, as well as other shells In his collection are beautiful specimens of alligators and crocodiles, stuffed; some 20 or 25 different kinds of snakes; some 60 assegais, a javelin used by tribes in South Africa, human, and other skulls from many countries; and many other curios. While in this city the Captain added to his collection a totem pole, and several other Indian relics. HOSPITAL COST $12,500 Superstructure Contract Awarded to E. H. Shockley After being awarded the contract for the excavation and foundation for the new hospital, S. H. Watson & Co. refused to sign stating that they did not care to go on with the work. This was reported to the Hospital board yesterday afternoon by Architect Bailey, and the board decided to award the contract to F. Christian, who was the next lowest tenderer. His price was:���earth, 70 cents, rock $1.90, concrete $8.75. If he refuses to sign the contract, new tenders are to be called for, and a 5 per cent, deposit will be required. Those present at the meeting were President J. A. Kirkpatrick, William Manson, T. D. Pattullo, H. H. Clarke, G. W. Morrow, A. Carss, E. K. Strathy, D. G. Stewart, P. I. Palmer and Secretary A. Cuthbert. For Superstructure Six tenders were received for the superstructure of the new hospital, as follows:��� E. J. Hicks $12,745 R. Scott 16,684 D. H. Morrison 16,960 Strange & Dagnall 17,248 E. H. Shockley 12,750 Mclnnes Brothers 14,000 The architect estimated the cost at $16,209 The first two bids did not have a marked cheque for 6 per cent cent of the cost and were therefore not considered. Thp tender of Mr. E. H. Shockley, being the lowest, was accepted. He is to start his work as as soon as the foundation is ready, and to complete the building in four months thereafter. A penalty clause will be included in the contract. Subscription List. The matter of completing the subscription list for the new hospital was brought up and it was decided to meet on Friday morning at the club and go out and complete the list. The hearing of Charles Heaton who was charged with assaulting and doing bodily harm to Detective Robert McKenzie was concluded last week and Heaton was sent up for trial. He elected for trial by Jury and his case will be at Vancouver at the sessions. It will be remembered that Heaton and McKenzie got into a mix up in the Hub Cigar store on Sunday night, April 10th., which resulted in Heaton being shot in theleg by the detective, and the detective was badly wounded by the Colorado Kid.

Prince Rupert is to have a Mining Exchange and it will be open to oo | business within the next ten or twelve days. The chief object of the exchange is to handle all British Columbia mining; stocks and particularly those of most interest locally. The exchange will have its own code and will receive the quotations from Vancouver by wire every morning, and as things develop other wires will be put in. The above was the decision of about twenty of the leading and most active business, real estate and insurance men of the city at a meeting held in C. D. Rand's office on Friday afternoon. A great boom in mining development and consequently in the stocks is expected within the next few weeks. In fact it is assured. The local mining men are active and preparing for a big development campaign this season. A large number of miners and mining men are on their way from the Cobalt district and from other mining centres, In face of this the local people who have the upbuilding of Prince Rupert at heart were not slow. They are bent on getting all that is going for this city, which is really the centre of activities. At Friday's meeting W. H. Law occupied the chair and Chas. Halsey acted as secretary. All present were enthusiastic and a committee of five was appointed and given full power to proceed with the incorporation of the exchange at once. Those on the committee are: Messrs. Talpey, Pattullo, Harrison, Leonard & Major Gibson. The name of the exchange has not been definitely decided upon nor has the location of the offices. These matters will, however, be arranged in a few days. The hours at first will likely be from 10 to 12 or they may be extended until 1 o'clock. them to get what is coming to them. A better service would bring all the Stewart business to Prince Rupert, and that is what this city needs. Damages Were Awarded. The first sitting of the Supreme Court in Prince Rupert was concluded on Monday last when the civil action brought by the North Coast Towing Co. against McKenzie Bros. Co., was disposed of by His Lordship Chief Justice Hunter. The plaintiffs were awarded $482.20 and costs. The cause of the action dates back to August 25, 1909, when at 2 o'clock a.m. the propeller of the steamer Rupert City collided with the propeller of the tug McCulloch. Some fourteen witnesses were heard. Mr. A. M. Manson, of Manson & Williams, appeared for the plaintiffs, and Mr. C. B. Benhett, of Carss & Bennett, for the defendants. TO REBUILD WHARF. Captain Nicholson Says The New Structure Will Be Permanent Railway Work. Mr. Knobel, chief engineer for McKenzie & Mann, passed through the city on Friday night with a staff of engineers on their way to Stewart, where they will lay out the work for the coming season in connection with the railway. They expect to have a very good time. Power for Stewart. The Stewart, Portland Canal, Light, Water & Power Co.. Limited, is a new company recently organized for the purpose of developing the natural resources of that very promising district. The company is capitalized at $260,000, and they propose to supply the town of Stewart and the adjoining mines with water, light and power for domestic and manufacturing purposes. Messrs. Samuel Harrison & Co., real estate and financial agents, Second Avenue, are the Prince Rupert and Stewart agents. The head office of the company is at Vancouver. STEWART BOAT SERVICE. People Anxious for a Direct Service With Prince Rupert. The Stewart people are getting very active and are alive to-the. necessities of their town during the boom period, said Mr. Vaughan Rhys. They have applied for $35,000 from the government for sewers and water works, and are trying to hustle things in order to accommodate the big rush of people. The population at the present time is increasing at the rate of about 300 per week. The Stewart people have a stiff complaint to make about their mail service and their transportation service. At the present time the merchants' goods arrive from Prince Rupert on fast passenger boats several days ahead of the invoices which come by mail on slower boats. The people also want a direct service with Prince Rupert. They are tired of having to go away around by the Naas River and spend several hours there. It would be much better for Stewart and Prince Rupert to have a direct service, and the northern town is looking to this city to help The Grand Trunk Pacific dock at Prince Rupert will be reconstructed this summer, said Captain C. H. Nicholson manager of the G. T. P. Steamship service, to the Optimist at the Rupert Inn last night. The crcosoted piles have been ordered and as soon as they arrive the work will begin. The new wharf will be permanent. Will it be any larger than the present? asked the Optimist. I can't say that it will be at the present. As business develops and the necessity arises extensions will, of course, be made. There is one thing that we intend to do at once, and while here I will arrange for it, and that is to provide proper accomodation for the passengers at the dock. We intend to make things as comfortable and convenient for the travelling public as possible.. We will establish a waiting room for passengers and ticket offices and information bureau. I will i also arrange for proper accomodation for passengers getting off and on the J boats. THE NEW BOATS. In reference to the new boats, the Prince Rupert, the Prince Albert and the Prince George, Captain Nicholson said that the two former steamers would be put into commission either the first or second week in June. They j are both on their way here, while the i Prince George will leave Newcastle this week. It will take her about 60 days to come around. The Captain has just recently returned from a trip to the Old Country where ! he went to see the boats. This is his first trip to Prince Rupert since'. The Prince Albert is the old Bruno. She will be put on the Island route and is a very tidy boat. New boilers have been put in and new passenger accomodation provided. She will carry 30 first class passengers and as many second-class as desired. Her freight capacity will be about 1200 tons. The Princi Rupert will make the weekly trip between Seattle, Vancouver and Prince Rupert. She and the Prince George are twins of 82,000 tons capacity. They will be equal to any of the : most modern ocean going steamers in the way of passenger accomodation. The state rooms will be of the finest with hot and cold water in each. Electric lights, electric bells, reading lamps, | salt and fresh water baths, hot ancl cold, cold storage plant and ice making plant, wireless telegraph and every other convenience one could think of. The new boats will be very fine and fit for the most fastidious. RUPERT MAIN PORT. " Rupert will be our home port," isaid the General Manager. "All our energies will be directed to its development. We cannot develop the whole Coast, but we can make this a most important harbour and that is what we intend to do, contrary reports notwithstanding." UNION WAGES AND HOURS.

Mr. Stonham is preparing for the opening of the branch, and he expects to he ready for business in a few days. The new building on Fulton street, just south of Third avenue, is rapidly Hearing completion. The extensive blasting just across the road has delayed the putting in of the windows, but that work will be accomplished shortly. The B. N. A. will be the fourth hank in Prince Rupert. RUPERT'S FIRST FIRE. Corner of First Ave. and Eighth St. Gutted Last Night. SALVATION ARMY HERE Have Purchased Lots and Will ErecL a Temple at Once. The Salvation Army has decided to establish a branch of their work in Prince Rupert, and will begin at once the construction of a barracks as soon as the plans are completed. The building will seat at least 300 people and will be situated on Lots 17 and 1" Grenville Court. Col. Map and Major Morris, of Staff Headquarters, Toronto, were in the city last week and consulted Mr C. D. Newton, who negotiated the purchase of the land. The price paid was $6,500.00. Captain Blackburn of Essington will likely be in charge here. The Staff officers went on to Hazelton where they intend arranging for another branch of the Army. On the return of Col. Mapp and Major Morris to Prince Rupert they will let the contract for the local temple. Construction Work. The telegraph gang arrived In Prince Rupert on Tuesday night last, and on Wednesday morning work started load- material for the construction of the G. T. Pi telegraph lines. Mr. A. B. Smith, general manager of telegraphs, has been in the city over a week arranging for the work to be pushed ahead. It is expected that construction work will be started to-day. Mr. Rooney will be in charge of the gang. The work of track-laying is progressing satisfactorily, and in a day or two the rails will be laid to the bridge at Zanardi Rapids. On Tuesday a mile and a half of track was laid through the big rock cut just finished by the contractors. ��� In a day or two it will be decided whether or not any provision will be made for transferring material across Zanardi Rapids. In the meantime material is being prepared for the slips if required. The concrete work on the bridge is progressing so favorably, however, that it is not likely a transfer will be necessary. In all but three of the pierz the concrete is now so far advanced that they can work above water except at very high tide, ond in a day or tVvo more that difficulty will be overcome. Bank of B. N. A.

SEVEN STEAM SHOVELS. Also a Compressor Plant Coming For Foley, Welch & Stewart. Messrs Foley, Welch & Stewart have seven new steam shovels on the way from Marion Ohio,for use on the work on the upper river among the rocks, and in the long tunnel at the Canyon. The Company also has a large compressor plant coming from Field, B.C., where it was used in connection with the grade reduction work on the C. P. R. This plant is also for the big tunnel at the Canyon. The Company intends to do everything possible to get all the grading as far as the Skeena River crossing done in time to permit track laying to begin by the end of the present year. The main idea is to get the track laid and material up for the bridge at the crossing. This will enable the contractors to construct the abutments of the bridge dumg low water 'next winter, otherwise the bridge could not be proceeded with fir another year. To accomplish this work Messrs Foley, Welch & Stewart will, within the next 30 days put on 2000 men or more if they can get them. All the camps up the river will be opened up and also those below which were closed during the winter on account of the deep snow. ISLAND NEWS. A Drunken Swede. A report comes from the Queen Charlotte Whaling Co's wharf that a Swede, under the influence of liquor went down to the wharf and started in to abuse everybody. The steamer Amur was tied up there and her crc-w came in for a large share of the abuse. Finally the mate on the Amur resented the Swede's abuse and the newly appointed Provincial Policeman, who had been reading while the row was on, supported the Swede and told the mate to attend to his own affairs. The Swede is supposed to have got the whisky from thp Japanese who had it shipped in in another box not long ago. The officers and crew of the Amur do not appreciate the Provincial officer's actions. Great progress is being made with the Queen Charlotte Whaling Co's buildings at. Rose Harbour. A large force of men have been at work and now the plant is being installed. The S.S. Ena was in port last week with 1000 tons of machinery and nfaterial for the Whaiing Co's plant. The Moresby Lumber Company lost a very valuable horse off the Queen Charlotte dock a few days ago. The animal was attached to a buggy and backed off the dock and the whole outfit dissappeared at once. The loss is estimated at over $350. The S.S. Amur carried the first load of lumber from Queen Charlotte City. The cargo consisted of 50,000 feet and was consigned to Vancouver. Prince Rupert had its first fire last night when two small hotels and *four small stores were wiped out completely. It was a hot blaze and only the good work of the citizens and volunteers kept it from spreading. Fortunately, the buildings were isolated. The burned out buildings were: Northern Hotel Butte Lodging House Butte Cafe Hayner Bros., Furniture North Bend Restaurant Balkan Restaurant and Hotel All are situated on First Avenue at the corner of Eighth Street. The fire started in the Northern Hotel about 11.30 and immediately gained great headway. The whole building was in flames before the occupants were aware of it. They escaped. The building wjs leased by Mr Carpenter. Everything was lost. The alarm was quickly spread, and the chemical engine and hose wagon were brought down with as little delay as possible. The hose, however, had to connect up at Sixth Street and these buildings were 1000 feet away. It did good service, however, in protecting the small buildings surrounding the burning block. In the meantime the Butte Lodging House and the other buildings mentioned, which were but a few feet away, caught fire. The crowd had done good work in the meantime and carried out nearly all the movable articles, which were spread along Eighth Street. The sidewalk was then torn up to keep the fire from spreading, and efforts were confined to keep the nearby buildings from catching. This was accomplished and the danger was over inside of an hour. Hayner Bros' furniture stock in the centre store was mostly saved, although much of it was damaged and missing. The firm applied for a $2,000 policy some weeks ago, but are uncertain whether it was accepted or no'. The Balkan Hotel was owned jointly by Messrs La Trace and Fillipovitch. The latter had a five year's lease and recently made $800 worth of improvements in the way of hot water, stoves, fixtures, etc. He also owned all the furniture. He carries $1,000 insurance in the German-American Insurance Co., of Rochester. This will not cover the loss. The Hotel was leased to Mr. Hacker and the adjoining restaurant to Mr. Parent. They lose everything, without insurance. Mr. Filopovich also loses his lease on the property. The insurance and losses are:��� Northern Hotel building and three store buildings owned by George >C. Hartley insured for $2,000, divided among several companies. Mr. Hartley loses practically everything. Carpenter and Burr lose all the contents of the Northern Hotel, with no nsurance. Charles Slaton, who just purchased the Butte Cafe and lodging, loses range and articles not removed from building. He had no insurance. M. LaTrace had $1,000 on North Pole restaurant building and $1,000 on the Balkan Hotel. Filipovich had $1,000 on Balkan Hotel furniture. PUBLIC SCHOOLS REPORT. April Attendance. Division I. ���D. McD.

THE PRINCE RUPERT OPTIMIST The Prince Rupert Optimist Daily Edition Saturday, May 7 AN EMPIRE MOURNS All the world mourns King Edward VII. He was, besides being the sovereign of the greatest empire in the world, the most popular man in the world. It has been frequently said of him that if Great Britian were made a republic King Edward would be its first President. He was a man of strong character, great tact and personal magnetism. Not only was he the figurative monarch of the British Empire, but he was the real leader in the world's politics; the greatest of world's peers; the first of all the sovereigns, and one who had the respect of all nations, governments and princes. He was the real big factor in the world's politics of the day and his reign is marked with peace, progress and prosperity. With his own subjects, spreading over every continent, in every clime, penetrating every wild, plowing every sea, to the uttermost parts of the world, he was King a monarch loved and honored by a loyal people. No empire has so many races and creeds within its link of governments, and there are none but would sacrifice self interests and join enthusiastically in any call from King Edward. Like all great monarchs and great men, he has had his critics, but he outlived them all. Few men could accept the responsibility be had and escape with so little criticism. Certainly few men with his power, his position and social obligations could accomplish what he has and maintain the popularity that was bis. Though the greatest of all monarchs, he was the only one who could appear in public with perfect safety from the murderous attacks of anarchists and maniacs. His death coming with such suddenness, is bound to create a temporary uncertainty in the political and financial arena. A few generations ago it would have caused a panic and war, but happily the world accepts great events and reconciles itself to great losses much more sanely and passively than was its wont. King Edward is mourned, the world is bereaved; but, owing greatly to what he and his illustrious mother, the late Queen Victoria, accomplished by their wisdom and diplomacy, the passing away of the late King and the ascension of the new will cause grief without tumult. In reporting a public meeting, where many speakers express many views, it is not possible to explain in detail all the points and statements presented. The condensing of a report sometimes permits of a reader misconstruing a remark. At the meeting Thursday evening T. I). Pattullo is reported as having said that he could not accept the Labor platform. In fairness to Mr. Pattullo, the Optimist desires, although not requested by Mr. Pattullo to do so, to explain that the speaker gave as his reason that he objected to the word "union." He believed in fair wages and hours of labor, but claims an alderman must represent nonunion as well as union men. THE BRIN FURNITURE CO. New Store on 3rd Ave. Will Be the Handsomest North of Vancouver Prince Rupert is rapidly advancing and is making great strides citywards. Its citizens are big and so are the merchants. Among the biggest are Brins, of the Brin Furniture Co., on Gth. Street. Mr. I. J. Brin is the general manager, although his sons, H. K., A. R., and L. K., are at the heads of the various departments and carry the bulk of the responsibility.

In fact, for some time they have been handicapped for lack of floor space. A NEW STORE. Room will not hold these energetic business men back.

Corner Third Avenue mid Sixth Street To the Electors of Prince Rupert:��� In my opinion the most important and immediate necessity confronting the city of Prince Rupert is the establishment of a permanent and adequate water supply, both for domestic purposes and for fire protection. The question of sewerage must also receive attention without delay, particularly in congested parts of the city. The electric light system, for which tenders have already been called, must be completed as soon as possible, so that the city will not be in darkness next winter. ��� Plank roadways and sidewalks to isolated parts of the city must be provided in order to give to those of moderate means an opportunity to build at a reasonable cost. The building of permanent roadways must receive the early attention of the council. By-laws having reference to health, fire protection and all other matters relating to the internal economy of the city must, and of course, will retrieve immediate attention. A campaign of publicity should be inaugurated and every encouragement given to induce the establishment of industrial enterprizes here. I am in favour of the granting of liquor licenses and their proper and due regulation. In so saying, I am not to be interpreted as an advocate of the liquor traffic. I believe that the license question is one in which there should be uniformity throughout the Province. 1 am opposed to the over running of the city with thieves, thugs and tinhorns, and believe in decency and orderliness. I am in favour of an eight hour day, and if elected will insist that eight hours shall constitute a days work on all city work. I shall also insist that minimum and fair wage clauses be inserted in all city contracts. I am opposed to the employment of Asiatics. I believe that wherever any city work is to be performed by contract, that sealed tenders should be called for and opened in the presence of those who tender, should they desire to be present. I believe that as far as the finances of the city will permit that the city should own and operate its own public utilities. If elected, I shall use my influence to urge on the Government and th Grand Trunk Pacific Railway, the claims of the city to a grant of vacant lands al present reserved for park premises. I shall also join with the council in urging both upon the Provincial and Dominion Governments the expenditure at this place, of monies for the city's improvement along lines within their respective jurisdictions. I believe that the city should spend 11s much money as possible in permanent improvements Care should be taken that every dollar is spent judiciously, so that by the time the railroad is completed, we shall have a model city, with all modern conveniences. Pending completion of the railway this would furnish employment to a large number of men which would inure to the benefit of the city. If elected, all my efforts will be directed along non-partisan lines, and I am absolutely free from party or personal pledges of any kind. T. D. PATTULLO.

The Prince Rupert halibut fishing fleet is on the increase. This mor- ing six boats were in for minor repairs and supplies. In talking to some of the fishermen, it was learned that the fishing just now was only fair. There was nothing unusual to report. It is encouraging to no?e so many citizens improving the appearance of their residences by levelling the lawns sowing grass seed and planting flower beds. These are things which help to make a beautiful city and the citizens deserve credit. The Prince Rupert rifle association will have a shoot to-morrow at their range across the harbour.

Deacon made a short business trip to Port Essington this week and found everything there very brisk, and the people enthusiastic. Business is picking up very fast and the canneries are preparing for a heavy season's pack. While there, Mr. Deacon secured two very handsome wolf rugs. One was grey and the other black and they are especially fine specimens. MARINE All boats are flying their colors a 1 half mast. The steamer Humboldt arrived from the north and left in a short time for j Seattle. A heavy fog hung over the harbour !last night, something unusual for here. ' As a result the boats were all late gel ting in. The steamer Operator left yesterday morning with 150 passengers for Kitselas and a full cargo of freight. The damaged wheel was repaired and is as good as ever. The Cetriana will return from Stewart to-night about midnight and after a short stop will return to the south. The Cetriana's sailing days will be the 5, 10th and 20th of each month. The Amur got into port early last night with a big cargo of freight for the Skeena River ports, and for Prince Rupert. It took her twelve hours to unload and she got away a little after eight o'clock this morning, going north. PHONOGRAPH WANTED- Edison phonograph A wanted for cash. Apply J.

Cuthbertt Reournlng Officer, 1-7 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 1 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.

They brought with them some very fine samples of free milling silver recently taken from the O. K. fraction. Speaking of the getting of this ore Dr. Moseley said that a few days ago, a shot was fired in a tunnel which is being driven which blew out native silver in all directions. The ore was very rich, probably carrying $2,000 to the ton. The piece of rock which the doctor has with him shows the clean silver all through. Speaking of his own mine, the Portland Wonder, Dr. Moseley said that they had just struck some rich steel galena. This has not yet been assayed, but it looked as if it would assay high even for ore of that kind which is always rich. This was on the middle vein tunnel. The stringers seven feet wide are all shot through with galena. The Company is also driving on the east vein and have got in about 120 feet on a ledge 12 feet wide. This is rich argentite, native silver, galena and iron, and averages $50 to $"50 to the ton. Speaking of the other mines, Dr. Moseley said that a large amount of work had been done on the Stewart properties and was being continued. The new ledge was making a very good showing. The Portland canal properties the doctor described as the best developed of all the Portland canal mines. They have a concentrator on the ground and arrangements are being made to instal a second. An aerial tram is being used to convey the ore to tide water, a distance of something over a mile. They have 100,000 tons of ore in sight, and will ship a large amount thisyear, commencing almost immediately. This, he thinks, will be a dividend paying mine within the year. The O. K. Fraction is 2,3000 feet lower than the Portland canal, and 1,100 feet lower than the Stewart properties, showing that the ore bodies extend down to that depth, and no one knows how much lower. Mr. Peterson, speaking of the Red Cliff property, said that they had made a very good showing. A large amount of machinery had been taken in, but, unfortunately, the boilers had not been taken over the road before the snow broke. This was, however, only a matter of detail. They are driving a long tunnel and the showings are very good. On Bear River Canyon, a four foot ledge has been found carrying $40 to $100 to the ton, and another ledge of grey copper shows 700 ounces of silver to the ton. The whole valley Is rich, and there will be great doings in Ihe near future. Stewart is rapidly building up. Already there are about 1,000 people in the camp, and from 40 to 100 go in on every boat. While the wharfage is not large the cargo is discharged on scows. On the 19th. a number of horses were landed there for Mackenzie & Mann to be used for logging for their new mill. Both visitors expressed a hope that now that the provincial government were getting a large income from this camp they would be generous in the matter of appropriations for roads and bridges and other improvements.

Get them at HOFFMAN'S STORE, Centre Street Mail Orders Solicited The Optimist DELIVERED TO ANY ADDRESS IN SECTIONS 1, 5 AND 6 EVERY DAY FOR 50c PER MONTH At the request of many of the electors I have decided to be a candidate for election as alderman at the forthcoming election. In order to place myself in a proper light before the public, I would say that I am free from all clique and party influence. The first council of Prince Rupert will have many important issues to deal with, and if I am elected I will advocate and endeavour, to the best of my ability, to push through the following measures, and any others which may arise from time to time, and are of advantage to the city and citizens. The immediate borrowing of as large a sum of money as, the credit of the city will stand; if possible, a million dollars or more, this to be covered by the issuance of debentures of as long a period and as small a rate of interest as possible. The immediate construction of permanent roadways and sidewalks in the localities where they are most needed. The completion of an adequate water works and sewerage system. The appointment of a competent city engineer and the immediate organization of a police force and fire department. We are all aware that the railroad will not be operating into Prince Rupert for at least two years, but. in the meantime if we are successful in floating a loan of sufficient proportion we will be able to commence public works which will establish a payroll that will keep business going, and in these days of advancement, time is discounted many years ahead. It would be a wise policy to complete these works now to be ready for the incoming of the railroad. The appointment of a competent building inspector, which, however, could possibly be managed by the chief of the fire department. To protect, and also to assist in the advancement of all industries in Prince Rupert. The inauguration of a publicity department to be under the control of one of the City officials, say the city clerk. Dealing with the subject of liquor licenses. This is a matter entirely in the hands of the citizens. At the same time I have no hesitation in stating that I am in favour of the granting of Hotel licenses. I strongly advocate that the City should own and operate all its own utilities, such as telephones, waterworks, tramways and electric lights, and to put them on a revenue earning basis by the appointment of competent managers. That an eight hour day system be i established for labourers and mechanics and that a fair wage be paid for same. I am emphatic on the employment of J white labour. I would be in favour of contrac as well as day labour, as circumstances and nature of work will be a matter of i economics for the council to consider. If any further matters should arise j which are of importance to the electorate, I am prepared to state my views definitely concerning them. Yours respectfully, G. W.

J. R. TALPEY CO. Sixth St., cor. 3rd Ave. Larger Water Mains H. Douglas, on behalf of the water committee, sent a letter to the secretary of last night's public meeting, asking that the committee be authorized to purchase pipe to enlarge the mains from Fulton to 8th street. This is the congested district and the present pipe is only a two inch one, and of no service in case of fire. Mr. Douglas addressed the meeting along the above lines and Mr. Manson, who had suggested the plan to the water committee, moved that the request be granted and the work gone on with at once. The motion was seconded and carried. The telegnph line south of Hazelton is down to-day which explains the absence of telegraphic news. Prince Rupert, B. C. I he Thompson Hardware Co.
