Instead of Local Rate of $4���Management is Expected to Concede Men's Demands There is said to have been a strike the Hidden creek mines on Observa- bry Inlet, recently purchaaed and liken over by the Granby Smelter ompany.

They protested rainst this and demanded the local thedule of pay, which is a flat rate of per day. The manager said he had t authority to pay them more than the Granby rate so most of the men walked out. Only Four Stay In Passengers on the Camosun yesterday brought the news that only four men were left at the mine. Fourteen of them came to this city, some of whom remain here and the others have returned to Phoenix, B. C. May Soon Be Over It is believed the trouble at the mine will be of short duration and that the local manager at the mines will be ordered by the company to concede the load rate to the workmen.

BRITISH PARLIAMENT DISSOLVED TODAY King George Expresses Regrets That Conferences Between Lords and Commons Proved UnavaiIing---Lloyd-George the Storm Center of General Election---"Tay Pay" Gleefully Predicts Home Rule. (Special to the Optimist) London, Nov. 28.���The king formally dissolved both houses of parliament today and elections are now on in earnest. In the address from the throne the king said that he regretted the many conferences on the veto privileges of the house of lords had been unavailing. He referred in touching terms to the death of thc late king and said he hoped to follow in the former monarch's wise footsteps. It is believed there has been a serious split between the king and Winston Churchill. Most of the members of the cabinet were absent nt the time the dissloution of parliament was declared. Lloyd George is at present the storm center of the new campaign. He addressed several meetings at Edinburgh on Saturday and declared himself vehemently against the lords' referendum as being opposed to modern ideas of political liberty; at the same time he denied that the policy of the Liberal party was revolutionary. What the party sought was a change that must come in the natural order of things. The people of thc country had not now diacovered it for the first time but had for many years felt that the veto power of an unelected and therefore unresponsible body such as the house of peers was a curtailment of the usefulness of the members of the commons elected by th. people and directly responsible Explosion at Powder Mill ITokio, Nov. 28.���(Special)���An ex- kision occurred thia morning In the ||i Powder Mill, near here, five tous- nsl percussion cap* exploding.

CONTRACTOR HAS TROUBLE MR. S. H. WATSON ATTACKED BY ITALIAN WORKMEN Mutinoua Over the Discharge of a Countryman They Made Attack on Him, Cutting Hia Head. Caae in Police Court. The sm*ooth running of S. H. Wat- aon's Second avenue grading contract has been marred by a farcas with a gang of Italian laborers which took place there Saturday, and in which the contractor was injured. He appeared as complainer today in the police court in support of the charge of assault laid against the laborers. The hearing takes place at five p.m. L. W. Patmore handlea the case for thc prosecution. The trouble arose through the dismissal of an Italian for neglecting his work. He returned and aowed dissension amongst his countrymen employed by Mr. Watson. The men got mutinous demanding that their countryman should be re-instated. S. H. Watson refused. An Italian made a threatening move at him swinging up a dinner pail. The contractor defended himself, and al once the whole gang got about him using their fists and anything that came handy. Mr. Watson's head was cut, and he was otherwise roughly handled, but he got control of the situation and as a result the men must appear this evening in the police court.

He paid the fine. Citlaens' League Quarters The rooms formerly occupied by the Prince Rupert Club, over P. Bum's meat store have been secured by the Cititens' League of Prince Rupert, and will prove very convenient for the purposes of the league. to them. Popular sympathy was necessary for the passage of the necessary legislation to make the change, and he believed his party had this. He believed all British people saw the importance of such a change, but they could not expect the peers to see it; they could not expect them to see eye to eye with the populace because their lordships lived in an exclusive atmosphere of sunshine and splendor. A strong article published this morning by T. P. O'Connor states that the worst the Tories can do in this election is to reduce the Liberal majority by ten votes. This will in his opinion still leave an adequate majority to destroy the veto power of the house of lords and ensure home rule for Ireland.

BIG STRIKE OF ORE IS MADE AT THE RED CUFF MINE Was Made at Midnight Friday���-Said to be the Richest in the Portland Canal District���Upraise is Under Way and Ore Shipments Will Soon Start A rich Strike of a solid body of copper ore at Red Cliff has been reported. It has caused some excitement in Stewart, and since Friday at midnight when the strike was made, the wires to Vancouver have been kept hot. The strike had been expected for several days, but is reported to exceed all expectations. Celebrations Are Held Erskine Smith, commonly known as "Coolgardic" Smith, the mining engineer of the Red Cliff, brought the news down on thc Camosun. He was hurrying to Vancouver with the good news. The ore was struck in the tunnel about midnight on Friday and there was great rejoicing. "Coolgardie" ordered the drills to renew works and the new strike was thoroughly tested by other blasts and demonstrated that il waa a solid ore body that had been struck. He at once told the machine men to lay off for a shift and gave each a present of $100. Rich Vein of Sulphite Copper The strike was made in the tunnel at 1330 feet. It is of sulphite copper and is said to be richer than any yet struck in the Portland Canal district, but this remains to be seen. The men went to work Saturday morning on the construction of an upraise for getting out the ore, starting it about one hundred feet form the face of the solid body of ore discovered.

Any and all of the ladies of Prince Rupert are invited to contribute to its columns, and to take part in its discussions. Suggestions and criticisms are invited by the editor. The hope ia expressed that "The Cosy Corner" will fill a social need. Women's Sphere in Medicine Speaking on this subject at the London (Royal Free Hospital) School of Medicine (or Women, Dr. E. W. Roughton said that although the natural gifts of the average woman were more suited for the profession of nursing than for that of medicine, there were many women whose mental qualities fitted them in the highest degree for the practice of the healing atr. There was no presumption that women were incapable of becoming efficient doctors. Doubtless in course of time, when women had got over their want of confidence in their own sex, the number of women practitioners would largely inwease. He was strongly in favor of the separation of the sexes in medical work, so that, as far as possible, persona should be treated and nursed by persons of their own sex. Dr. Garrett Anderson, who presided, congratulated the school on the fact that of the thirty-one ladies who had entered this year thirty were aiming for the London Univeraity degree, the very highest degree it was possible for men or women to obtain. she has been married she has written twice each week to her mother, never missing a mail no matter where she is. For the Housewife Tough meat may be made tender by laying it a few minutes in vinegar water. Suffragettea In China Whatever rebuff the suffragette movement may receive in the Weat, it ia not without hope in the Eaat. Dr. Gilbert Reid, of the International Institute of China, speaking before the Buffalo Twentieth Century Club, said: "In the rapid changes that are now taking place in China I would not be surprised if within ten years we should see some intelligent, patriotic woman sitting in the imperial parliament and discussing questions of empire with ease and fluency, with no criticism of impropriety from anyone, just as the whole administrative power of the empire has for so many years rested solely in the hands of a woman. There may be a Manchu woman on the throne, and a Chinese woman in the parliament. A Phonograph Battle The phonograph is an inoffensive and entertaining instrument in itself, but it can be converted into a destroyer of domestic peace as destructive as a gatling gun in war. Two Philadelphia families, whose neighborly relations were not the most amiable, Bought to render each other's lives miserable by a phonograph war. The rival instruments were turned loose for a continuoua stretch of 170 hours, playing the aame tune consecutively, the members of the families forming themselves into relays to change recorda and wind up the Bleep-de��sToyerB. The other residents of the block, in self defence, stormed and captured the musical batteries and discord no longer prevails. A Great Man'a Nurse Mrs. Joseph Chamberlain remains the devoted friend and nurse of the great statesman who is her husband. He 1b never happy if she is out of his sight for a moment. She is beginning to show signs of her long term of nursing, but she assures all her friends she is "perfectly happy" and that her only trial would be were anything to happen to "Joe." It is said that some day Mra. Chamberlain will enter an Anglican sisterhood; she is very devout and is a conatant visitor at a well-known convent near Epsom. Most of her private income she gives to charity, but in the most unostentatious manner. The agents who disburse it have strict instructions never to reveal whence it comes. Her friends have ceased to invite her out now, so persistently does she decline all their invitations.

Nelson, Nov. 25.���Equipped with two 44-calibre automatic revolvers, and 150 rounds of ammunition, a stranger, after shooting up the Crescent bar at Rossland yesterday, and holding up Chief of Police Long at the point of hia gun, was shot in the groin by the policeman and taken to jail. The story told by a Nelson man, arriving on the Rossland train laat night was to the effect that some time yesterday morning a stranger entered the bar of the Orescent hotel, and after taking a few drinks commenced to shoot in all directions. The shots all went wild, and the stranger then left the bar and walked down toward the C. P. R. track. He waa followed by Chief of Police Long and a citizen, who came up with him near the water tank on the track. Covering each of his pursuers with a gun, the stranger told them in forcible terms to get out of hia way and leave him alone. ��� Seeing that he waa up against a bad man, Chief Long turned around, and then making a quick movement, drew his own revolver and shot the man in the groin. The bandit fell to the ground, waa arrested, and lodged in jail. The sum of $500 was found in hia possession.

Nov. 28 MARTIN BURRILL'S CHEAP BLUFF At some future date when some entertaining author writes a treatise on The Art of Bluffing, he will muke an entry in the index like this: "Bluff���cheap. Historical example, see speech of Martin Burrill, M. P., in "House of Commons, November 25th, 1910." A better example of the cheap bluff will surely he hard to find than that challenge of the member for Yale-Cariboo that Sir Wilfrid Laurier test the temper of the electors of the Pacific Coast on the naval policy by sending Hon. William Templeman to the Senate and promoting a contest in Comox-Atlin. It was cheap to the limit of impecuniosity. When Mr. Burrill threw out that challenge he well knew that it could never be taken up; that Hon. William Templeman was of far too much service in the Cabinet and the House for his retirement to the Senate to be considered. There is an easier way than that to settle the issue. If Mr. Burrill is anxious to test the feelings of the people of British Columbia on the navy question, let him resign his own seat. Let him secure the services of Henri Bourassa and the other anti-British agitators who figured in the contest at Drummond-Arthabasca. Let them repeat the same speeches and the same arguments in Yale-Cariboo. Let the issue be confined to the navy question. And let the voice of the people of British Columbia be heard. The test is in Mr. Burrill's hands. He can try it out���if he dare���in his own constituency. But Mr. Burrill knows too well the feeling of the people of British Columbia to take a chance. As an example of the cheap bluff Mr. Martin BurriU'a challenge is a gem. Condensed Advertisements. ARE YOU IN NEED OF HELP ? Do you waat to buy, or sell, or hire, or loan?

Mann, first vice-president of the Canadian northern, was in Vancouver last week and confirmed the report that the Canadian Northern was applying for a charter for a railway from Stewart at the head of Portland Canal across Northern British Columbia ���north of the Grand Trunk Pacific���to the eastern herders of the province, there to connect with a line to Edmonton. The charter for the Alberta section of the proposed trunk line has already been secured from the Legislature of Alberta. Preliminary Work Done "Our engineer has already done some preliminary work, demonstrating that it is quite feasible to build a line from the Portland Canal district into the Naas river valley," said Mr. Mann. "He has ascertained that fair grades can be secured as the summit has an altitude of only 1740 feet above sea level. About three thousand feet of tunnelling and certain snow-sheds would have to be built at the summit of the divide. The maximum grades for westbound traffic would be about one per cent and eastbound a maximum grade of two-tenths, and that for only a few miles, can be secured. Will Open Up Naaa Valley The building of less than a hundred miles of line from Stewart will tap the Naas river valley which, according to my information, contains vast areas of land adapted for mixed farming and for ranching as well as rich mineral resources and anthracite coal. "I feel convinced that no serious engineering difficulties exist as regards I this portion of the route.

It Ia Early Yet to Call It "One of Greatest Minea on Pacific Coaat. E. Jacobs, mining engineer ol Victoria, has an article in the Canadian Mining Journal under the caption: "Granby Company Enlarging Its Field of Operations," which deals with the recent purchase of the Hidden Creek Properites on Observatory Inlet by the smelter company. After quoting at length the prospectus just issued by the company and the statements made by Jay P. Graves, its vice-president and general manager, to the effect that a matting plant will be erected as soon as a sufficient tonnage is developed, Mr Jacobs goes on to state: "Last summer I waa given the following information relative to this property by one who claimed to be well informed concerning it: The developed ore zone has been opened for a little more than 2,000 feet in length, and from 200 to 500 feet in width. Beside some 1,600 feet of open-cut work, about 1,000 feet of tunnelling has been done. Thia work has opened a large body of copper sulphide ore, running from 4 to 8 per cent, (with some as high as 12 per cent.) in copper, and $1 to $3 per ton in gold and silver. It is a very favorable ore for smelting, carrying an excess of iron over silica. Much of it is pure copper and iron sulphide, high in both iron and sulphur, so making it a deairable smelting ore, less coke being required for ita reduction than for other ores having constituents less favorable from a metalliferous point of view. "The ore has been cut for a width of 125 feet and down to a depth of between 400 and 500 feet, and it is known to be good to below the 400-foot level. The quantity of ore blocked out is more than 300,000 tons, and the mine is sufficiently developed to warrant the erection of a 300-ton smelter. "The foregoing information will serve to give a general idea uf the property the Granby Company haa taken under bond. It ia probable Mr. Gravea la not quite correctly quoted in the statement attributed to him, in effect that the Hidden Creek property ia 'one of the greatest mines on the Pacific coast.' It is likely that his comparison was intended to be restricted to the British Columbia coast district. If not, then the opinion may be expressed that it ia premature to express any such opnion in the present state of development of the Hidden Creek mine. Nevertheless, there seems some good reason to believe there is in that mine a large tonnage of copper ore, but of general average grade somewhat lower than the stated 3 1-2 per cent, copper." CAPTAIN OF INDUSTRY Waa to Invest Thirty Millions but Forgot Board Bill Capitalist Davins, the gentleman who was in Edmonton a few weeks ago with trunks filled with blueprints of buildings which he proposed to erect in Edmonton and environs, at a total cost of in the neighborhood of $25,000,000 or $30,- 000,000���a difference of a few millions is immaterial���left the city laat week in a hurry, leaving behind him an unpaid board bill for $10 at the Crescent rooming houae, and a number of greatly chagrined real estate men, who had entertained the aoi distant emissary of the kings of American finance for a period of several weeks upon the strength of hia yarns as to untold millions at hia command. Mr. Davins also left a check for $10,- 000 in the hands of Mr. John R. Boyle and Parlee, this being the price that he had agreed to pay the holders of a railway charter into the Peace River district, as purchase price. JOHNSON NOT FIT Predicted He Will Never Again Leave Ring a Champion Chicago, Nov. 25.���The next time Jack Johnson steps into a prize ring a new heavyweight champion will be brought out, say cloae friends of Jeffries' conqueror here today. They are not astonished at reports from the East that he is suffering from nervous prostration, and say a break-down of the big black haa been coming for some time. "Too much auto scorching and too much prosperity," is the way they put it, and in their feara the mother of Johnson shares, following the report of the champion's collapse at Lowell, Mass Piver'a, Roger & Gallet'a perfumes, soaps and sachet powders at Orme's Drug Store.

Mistress���Jane, I saw the milkman kiss you this morning. In the future I will take the milk in. Jane���'Twouldn't be no use mum. He's promised never to kiss anybody but me. "I see you have subscribed to a drug journal." "I wanted something to read nights. I judge they won't print any football stories."

A multi-millionaire returned to his native village and erected a marble palace on a hill-top there. One day, after the palace was completed, he said to the postmaster and the crowd of loiterers in the general store: "Boys, my million-dollar house up on the hill is simply full of Titians." The loiterers exchanged looks of surprise and horror, and the postmaster exclaimed: "Good gracious, ain't there no way o' killin' ���em?" SCHEME OF PUBLICITY New Westminster Giving Subject Careful Consideration New Westminster, Nov. 26.���That a united effort should be put forth to advertise New Westimnster to the uttermost parts of the earth was the feeling expressed at an enthusiastic meeting of the Board of Trade last night called to hear an address from Vice- president A. E. White, who had just returned from Portland filled with the spirit of the publicity movement of that city. Several speakers took occasion to score the business men of the city for their lack o finterest in the Board of Trade and publicity work of the city, and the feeling expressed that there should be more general support both financially and morally, to this work. The question of the board having independent quarters away from the city hall was also discussed. Mr. White thought that thc board could not do its best work until it had such quarters.

Kerr's Sarmon on "Tho Up to Data Sinner" Rev. F. W. Kerr had a large audience in the Empress Theatre last night, when he delivered a striking sermon on "The Up To Date Sinner." In trenchant terms he directed the force of his argument against the sin of the well-to-do wealth-neeker whose demand for more dividends makes him indirectly but by no means irresponsibly, the cause of a hundred And one oppressions and vice- producers. This, he said, is the up to date sin that has a strBngle-hold on the United States today, and is reaching out over Canada. "The sin six-removed" he called it, and declared against it as the cause of the debasement of bright young manhood, and the degrader of pure and tender girlhood.

Read The Optimist And Get All the News BANK SELECTED AS RECEIVER SQUABBLE OVER GRAHAM ISLAND COAL LANDS Canadian Development Company Sued for Difference Between Four- Fifty and Ten Dollars an Acre.��� Early Trial Is Promised. Vancouver, Nov. 24.���The Royal Bank will be the receiver and the court the guardian of some $230,000 in the recent sale of some 23,000 acres of Graham Island coal lands, until the court shall have decided a suit now pending over both. The five plaintiffs are Messrs. Russell Whitelaw, James and John S. Sou- tar, George Grant and George Bowers. The defendants are the Canadian Development Company Limited and Mr. H. R. Bellamy, mining engineer. The action is for an accounting of the proceeds of the sale of these Graham Island coal lands. It is contended by the five plaintiffs that Mr. Bellamy, acting as the agent for the holders of title to the lands, entered into an agreement to sell them to the Canadian Development Company for $4.50 an acre, on the understanding as the plaintiffs further allege, that a new company was to be formed to take over the lands at an increased price; that this company was formed under the name of the Graham Island Col- leries Limited, and that the lands passed to the latter at $10 an acre. The defendants now, the plaintiffs declare, refuse to account for any Bum in excess of $4.50 an acre, and this action has followed. Messrs. Bowser, Reid & Wallbridge are acting for the Canadian Development Company Limited, and Mr. R. S. Lennie for its co-defendant, Mr. Bellamy. SAYS LIQUOR WAS DOPED Victor Ambrose's Explanation. Was Bought in Stewart Shivering and shuddering with cold or "nerves" Victor Ambrose admitted before Magistrate Carss this morning that he had been drunk yesterday. Almost as soon as he got off the gangplank of the Camosun he had been taken in charge by the ever watchful Constable Mansell. Victor declared that he had had only three drinks on the steamer, of liquor purchased at Stewart. He couldn't imagine how he had got drunk unless the stuff were doped. Such a thing had never happened to him before. After mentioning some highly respected citizens of Prince Rupert as likely to vouch for him, and even advance the needful for his fine, Victor withdrew the poorer by a debt of $5 including costs, due the police department of Prince Rupert. He remarked more than once upon the cold, and the police court positively rattled and shook with his shivering stunt, and the force of his eloquence in explaining matters SNOW FOLLOWS FAIRY SUNSET Coating of "The Beautiful," Heralds the Approach of Winter Thick rime on the plankroads yesterday gave place today to Prince Rupert's first snow for this winter. The coming of the snow was rather a surprise to the citizens who were out around the city at sunset yesterday when- the sky was beautifully clear. Such a superb sunset as yesterday's would surely be enough to convince the most confirmed croaker that the city of Prince Rupert must always rank as one of the loveliest in the world. Never surely out of the realm of romance, was a city so superbly situated. Mountain, sky, and sea, lit yesterday by the rays of that wonderful sunset, seemed like the scenery in a fairy tale.
