The announcen ont is not expected to make a rush for "the diamond fields of British Columbia" for the survey siaics that the stones are nil of very small size, none being bigger than pin heads.

The location of the deposits is given ar Olivine Mountain near the Tullamer River. The discovery was made by- Mr. Charles Cassells of the Dominion Survey department. This is the lirst feet riled discovery of diamonds in Canada. The rock in which they were found is a peridlite of a variety known as danite, consisting of olivine and chromitt 11 ocimens, CENSUUED THE COUNCIL Longshoremen Express Sympathy With Men on Strike At a meeting of the Longshoremen's Union on Tuesday a resolution was passed censuring tin city council for a waste of puhlic nu ne> in hiring special constables, and for having solicited the aid ef naval and miliary forces.

Date Feh. ii. 1911 JOSEPH UELWAY Pub. Mnr. HI COAL NOTICE Three men went to work this morning on Mclnnis & Kelly's First avenue contract for wanes at the 37 1-2 cent rale. The strikers soon heard of ii, and something like a circus resulted. The cut is admirably adapted for the convenient view of a large gathering of spectators, and the strikers saw lo it that ihe large gathering was there. A Natural Theatre On the high portion of ihe reserve overlooking the cut. about a hundred men assembled. Hundreds more swarmed around ihe oilier sides of the work, and away over on Fiisi avenue near the Dominion Hotel from where a (rood view of the cut could be obtained another crowd of some hundreds of strikers gathered. In fact, stalls, pit, circle, balcony, and gallery were all lill.d. It was a full house. Crowd Jeered Them On the stage in full view ef the large audience stood Mr. Mclnnis and his three workmen. Like Caesar before he overcame the Nervii, Mr. Mclnnis exhorted his men to go to it antl heed not the mar of the mighty populace. Obediently the men began to work. But they found it hard to work on under the fusilade of derision volleying from half a thousand throals above, behind, and all around them. One Man Quit One fellow hesitated, and furtively eyed his coat. Wildly the audience! eneouraKcd him. He wavered, then in | spite of the exhortations of the contractor, he Bung down his shovel, put| on his coat and marched oil the job. Instantly from the whole crowd of strikers a mighty cheer went up. The other two men were affected by the action of their comrade, and came to a standstill. One of them sat down on a car and begin to fill his pipe. Declined to Work "Sit quiet now, and have your photo taken " cried a Wig in the crowd. "Sny you're sick and go home," yelled anot her. you're sick and go home," yelled another. "Come up here and yell for me.1 Queen Charlotta Manila Laiul District���District of Skeenn j Take nutice that 1, John McLeod ol Vancouver, 1 occupation broker, intend to apply for pemiiaaion I to prospect for coal and petroleum on thu following descrihed lands: Commo. ring at a post planted about four milos north and one mile east ol the mouth ol tho Tl-el Hiver and marked J.

JOHN MeLEOD I'll pay you ten dollars an hour, here's the money," shouted a third man wildly waving a roll of bills. Mr. Mclnnis stood by the man telling them to get down to it and pay no attention to the yells, but both men were rather chary of starting again. Noise, they admitted would do them no harm but they expressed doubts aboul lhe duration of the noise. From jeers to threats, from threats to blows are short steps they thought. Police Were Sent For Ry this time in response to messages sent by Mr. Mclnnis Sergeant I'hilipson wilh three constables arrived. The sergeant was not inclined to interfere] too vigorously with thc strikers. So far no violence has been used, and be contented himself wit h w'timing t he crowd I against violence. Ky and by the st rikers I dispersed its there was no attempt on the part of Mclnnis' two men to take up their shovels again. Mr. Mclnnis is disappointed thai men cannot be get to work in spite of the comments of the strikers, and looks lo the police to keep the contract clear. As long as the strikers do not touch the workmen or their tools, however, it is doubtful if the police can do more than they are doing. Only Three Stand Out There ure only three contractors standing out against the 46 cent rale, as L. Vuckavitch has withdrawn from his contract, and Dan Boscovitch has taken up his share of the psrtnership in it to carry on thc work at lhe '15 cent rate which Vuckavitch refused in pay except to a small number of employees. Dan Boscovitch this morning ���tited that he was to start up wilh from fifteen to twenty-five men tomorrow. By tl.e Prince Rupert this morning a number of laborers arrived anti were met by members of the P. R. I. A. with the usual mild demonstration. The newcomers win- escorted up Centre street, and given full particulars nf the situation in regard to labor in town Their presence is not likely to affect the position one way or the other.

JOHN McLKOD I'ub. Feb. 27. T. E. Walter. Agent The Fireless Cooker The question of air pollution and the extent to which our domestic fires contribute thereto is occupying considerable attention just now, nnd most housewives will welcome tlie day when cheap gas and electricity will enable them to make cleanly substitutes for coal lires. The fireless cooker is another hygienic and labor-saving device which is being widely adopted. The principle of fireless cooking is simplicity itself. The food to be cooked is placed on the range or the gas stove in a cooking vessel and brought to the boiling point; the vessel is then immediately placed in an air tight receptacle, surrounded with a close packing of insulating material, and the food is left to cook itself. The process is necessarily slow, but thorough; food cooked in this way, whether meat, fish fruit, or vegetables, is rendered more digestible, more appetizing, and far more nutritious, as all its elements are preserved in their full integrity. On every ground the promotion of thc system of fireless cooking is to be encouraged; apart from the superior wholesomencss of food, it effects an enormous economy in kitchen labor and in the consumption of gas or fuel; an article that would take un hour to cook on the gas stove need be boiled for only a quarter of that time before being placed in the fireless cooker. The latter costs nothing in maintenance, and demands no attention from the cook or housewife, who is free to devote herself to other pursuits while the tireless is doing its gradual work. The continued use of the darkened room to present thc pictures is obnoxious." A NEW RECIPE Mock Angel Food One cupful of sugar, one and one-half tablespoonfuls of shortening, one-half cupful of milk, one heaping cupful of (lour, two tablespoonfuls of baking powder. Stir all together, then put the whites of two eggs into a bowl and beat until stiff. Then gently fold the whites into the batter; do not stir them in. Add a teaspoonful of vanilla. This is an original recipe, and if correctly made it will be hard to distinguish it from the real angel food cake. But be careful not to stir the whites of tht eggs into the cake, but fold them in carefully. SS. Sails for Vancouver Victoria AND Seattle Thursdays, at 8.30 p.m. ...

Chicago, March 13.���High heel shoes today are blamed for tho illness and misery of a large number of working girls by Dr. Caroline Hedgcr, a specialist who has started a campaign here to fully warn women of their danger. In an address before 300 working girls she declared that those who wear high heels are laying up for themselves a heritage of misery and destroying their chances of ever becoming mothers. She asserted that steps should be taken to prevent girls who walk much from wearing other than a "sensible broad, low heel." Protecting Children'. Moral. Special investigators and agents of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children huve just completed a "survey" of all the moving picture show ! houses and similar amusement places I in New York Ciiy. As a result of their I finding the society will ask that the licenses of forty-live of these places be I withdrawn and will recommend a swecp- | ing reconstruction of the city ordinances governing all picture shows. According to a preliminary statement ! published here today, thc society will I ask that the present system of pre- j smiting moving pictures in a darkened place he changed and a glass screen used in a well lighted hall. This is a question for the board of aldermen to regulate, and action by that body is expected shortly. "We do not question the claim that thc moving picture playhcusc may be an educational institution," says Albert Et, Hoeckley, one of the society's managers, "but we are more interested in ihe respectability of the attaches employed in certain of these places. We have before us nearly a hundred instances in which employees of the playhouses resorted to questionable methods in their treatment of young girls. HOUSEHOLD HINTS A back rest for an invalid, which will be found comfortable for one confined to bed, is made of a wide board, well padded, and slipped into a cretonne pillow case. An asbestos mat under the bread pan will help the bread to rise on a cold night, as it will prevent the bottom being chilled. The ordinary stove mat may be used. Never put the chafing-dish or any o its parts in water, but clean the pans by partly filling them with water and scrubbing, and the outer parts by rubbing with chamois. A safe paint cleaner is as follows: Two quarts of hot water, two table- sponnfuls of turpentine, and one pint of skimmed milk, with soap enough to make a weak suds. HOW WARSHIPS WERE CHOSEN CANADA'S VESSELS WERE SELECTED FOR NAVAL REASONS They Are Designed for Scouting, Protection of Trade and for Destruction of Commerce De.troyer.. Are the Be.t for the Purpo.e. Discussing the vessels which am to be built for the Canadian navy, the British News of Canada says: The vessels of the Bristol class arc protected cruisers of medium size high s|ieed and powerful armament. They are designed for scouting, for the protection of trading vessels, and for the destruction of such vessels as may be let loose by an enemy to prey on British commerce. The selection of this type for the Canadian fltot was made by the Admiralty after the most careful delivera- tion, and for reasons that are already becoming more clearly obvious. Naval experts are all agreed that Great Britain needs a very strong fleet, even if there is no danger at all of invasion. The real danger is that an enemy's swift but powerful cruisers may be employed in destroying helpless merchant ships, and thus crippling Britain's finances, to say nothing of endangering her food supply. The specific motive for the British cruisers is to use them for the protection of British trading Bhips, and this is why the Admiralty prefers Bristols to Dreadnoughts.

Hazelton, March* 1B.--After a long period of comparative inactivity, it is I now certain that thi Omineca placers, j which in years gone by produced a large amount of i;old annually, and ! first drew attention to the mineral ' resources of this district, will soon resume a position among the large pro- , ducing camps. A number of companies and syndicates composed of coast capilalbits I have been recently formed 10 acquire ,und work hydraulic ground in the Omineca, and the representatives of at least three of these concerns are on their way to Hazelton to stun work. Tin first outfit to begin work will be the Huderle-Otterson Co., of Seattle. A party consisting of the manager, George \V. Otterson, M. I. M. E., a cook, and live miners, for Manson creek, when- the company has acquired one and a half miles of hydraulic graound which is expected to yield big profits. The party, augmented by Indian miners who will lie picked up en route, will at once begin preliminary work, and Mr. Otterson expects to have everything in readiness for the opening of the mining season about June 1, so that the entire season will be productive. The company has purchased the hydraulic plant formerly used by the St. Anthony Exploration company and E. J. Newberry, to which will be added an hydraulic elevator, which is being taken in by toboggan. Supplies for the taken in by toboggan. John Huderlt is expected to arrive iu Haziluin ubout May 30, to take pan in ihe management of the company, which will expend about $15,000 on the season's work. Mr. Otterson, who is au experienced hydraulic miner, and prominent as a mining engineer, operated in the Omineca from 1K1I9 to 1901, and is familiar wilh the distriet and its possibilities. He slates that the ground acquired by the company, as long as it could be worked by Individual miners', paid $lti a day to the shovel. Among other properties which will be worked this season is the Silvtr Creek dredging proposition, preliminary work on which is well under way, and the Tom Creak property formerly operated by Gondii Brothers and James May, which has been acquired by G. V. Knowhon, of Vancouver, who will probably take a dredge In by the Talla lake route. Thc Boulder Creek syndicate has prospected its ground, six miles Ixlou Huderle & Otterson, and will take in a plant this year. Pending its installation a ditch two and a half miles long will bu run. These outfits und others will spend considerable money during the Coming season. PRINCE RUPERT WAREHOUSING AND FORWARDING COMPANY Fir��t Ave. Near McBride Forwarding Distributing and Shipping Agenta.

March 1G Mayor Manson's Opportunity Fortune is prodigal "f opportunities to Mayer Manson. The hard feeling aroused by his absence from I lie city for the past two months while the strike was brewing, will stand a fair chance of being forgotton. if during his regime lhe citizens make a satisfactory settlement of tin- (irand Trunk Pacific assessment dispute. An announcement will shortly be made of the actual terms under consideration. Until such lime il is not fair to tlie council for citizens to discuss the question on the basis of street rumors, however well authenticated they may profess to be. Any proposition which may be submitted to the people, will have the virtual endorsement of at least a majority of the council. Its terms must be clearly defined, and opportunities given lo lhe publie for Ihe closest analysis and widest discussion. Otherwise it might prove to bo a boomerang. A bad settlement would keep the issue open for years to come. The assessment question is one which is purely economic, and local. Outside Influences must be rigidly barred out of lhe discussion. Political preferences and persona] prejudices should have no part in it. For this occasion all should strive to rival that happy condition of the eld days of Home "When none were for the party, but all were for the Mate." To a right understanding of the real nature of any proposed settlement, the best efforts of every thinking man in the city ought to bo invited, irrespectiv, of all Other differences. Blind appeals or denunciations of the "This will knock the city" or "this will boost the city" type, should not be allowed. The public needs adequate explanations, ample facts, and clear and dispassionate reasoning. The Optimist suggests that after the proposals are formally announced that Mayor Manson should set the lead in this matter by issuinggin explanatory statement to the dtisens, setting forth in dispassionate terms a fair statement of the matter at issue, together with an explanatory statement of the company's proposals and the reasonable economic effects they may be expected to produce. Particularly should ihe public be given every opportunity to understand the precise effect that the proposals would have on the assessment of the city: how this in turn would affect the borrowing power of the city; to what extent if any they will necessitate the raising of the general assessment of the city in order to raise sufficient funds to carry on the work of the municipality; the varying effect on the real estate market of a bond issue based on a high or a low assessment; a calculation of the estimated borrowings of the city possible if the proposed agreement comes into effect; and a financial budget showing what public works it would Ih- possible to tinance, and what it would not be possible to tinance. ut>on the possible borrowings of the city under the readjustment of assessment. which the proposals will cause. These arc all aspects of the settli ment which il is necessary that the ratepayers should understand before passing judgment for or against it. They are aspects which we all would do well to discuss ill a spirit of mutual helpfulness. The future economic welfare of the city; the possibilities for usefulness both for the present and for many futun councils arc hound up in the settlement. ���ROLLER RINK TIGERS" Ba��ket Ball Team to Meet Kaien Uland Club Monday L.

METHODISTS HOLD SOCIAL Pleaaant Evening Spent by Member, nnd Friend, In the Methodist Church last night a pleasant Iii ile social was held. A number of members of the congregation and their friends assembled and greatly enjoyed games, conversation, Impromptu spsech making, and tKs refreshments provided by the ladies of the church. One of the games WM a clever geographical guessing contest, in which clues to numerous islands of the world were pinned here and there upon the walls. The contestants went forth upon a tour of exploration discovering the islands. Afterwards Miss Hester Kergin revealed the real list of islands intended. Wonderful skill in the placing of islands was displayed by the audience. Rev. Charles Sing was present, and took enthusiastic pan in the amusement. Within the Methodist church at their services and socials a very cordial welcome i** always extended to visitors io the city, and an atmosphere of pleasant sociability is ever present at the church gatherings.

From information to hand, it appears that the man, who is described as of the hobo class, came up on the train and insisted on riding on the cowcatcher. Lowe ordered him off the engine, but the man refused to leave. When Lowe insisted that tht man must get off the cowcatcher, the fellow pulled out a gun and shot the engineer dead.

An in- teresting social evening and dance attended by most of the residents of I'ort Essington was held here last night in I celebration of the marriage of Min Annie Kisbimoto. tho daughter of Mr. | Kishimoto, the well known storekeeper and contractor of this place. The wedding is the tirst Japanese wedding to take place in these parts and widespread interest was taken in it. The bridegroom who is a young Japanese, according to Japanese custom takes the name of the bride's family, and is now known as Mr. K. T. Kishimoto, Jr. The wedding which took place on Sunday according to the Japanese fashion was originally intended to be solemnized I in the English Church, and all arrangements had been made. Rev. T. C. des Karros was to come .over from j Prince Rupert to perform the ceremony. On Sunday, however, although the church was ready, Mr. des Banes v.OS I unable to come owing to the high storm | which raged, making it quite impossible! for the clergyman to reach the port. Rather than disappoint the guests. many of whom had come a distance to| witness the ceremony, il was finally arranged to have the ceremony performed ' by the Japanese custom, where the bride an.l groom, and guests drink fiom a loving cup. and make and witness the formal premises of marriage. The ground floors of the Queen's Hotel were hired for the occasion and beautifully decorated. A large number of the English residents who had intended to visit the church were disappointed at the turn of events, so with true Japanese politeness, the friends of the bridal pair, arranged the social evening and dance at the Queen's Hotel Uu*t night ar.d invited all their English friends. Rev. Mr. DesBarres, who arrived at Port Essington on Monday after the Itorm had abated, told the parties that the wedding had been legally performed, being in accordance with their national custom and that there was no occiusion to have any further rites to legalise the marriage. On Friday evening there will be more festivities, when another dance will be held to cleberatethe "seventeenth of Ireland."

He inspired complete confidence in his honor. The incident of Sir Wilfrid's going out of his way to greet a little girl with her bunch of wild Mowers for him brought out Sir Wilfrid's chivalry, and in mentioning ihe National Transcontinental Railway Mr. Patmore styled this one of the monumental achievements cf Sir Wilfrid's career, reminding his hearers that but for that, they would not be in Prince Rupert that night. "Sir Wilfrid," said Mr. Palmore, "is a Liberal of thc English type. His ideal for Canada as he himself has expressed it, is to let the sturdy Scotchman remain the Scotchman, the brainy Englishman, the Englishman, and the warm-hearted Irishman Irish.

Original records gathered by the Winnipeg Free Press prove that in eight western Canadian Cities the value of land alone- not counting improvements���increased MS per cent, for the last five years-an annual increase of IIS per cent, for each city during the last five years. These figures indicate that investments in live, growing cities in Western Canada are as safe and sure as an investment can be, and that 100 per cent, profit each year is almost a certainty, THIS YEAR THEY WILL UNDOUBTIDLY MAKK $100,- 000.000 MOKE You have an opportunity now to participate in these immense profits by being one of the original purchasers of town lots in the Grant!
