ELECT OFFICERS Conservative Association Hakes tion of Those Who are to Hold Office Selec- George Tite Is Elected President for Year—Others Given Places on Executive The Prince Rupert Conservative Association held its annual meeting in the Melntyre Hall Wednesday evening. As the occasion was the one upon which the officers for the year in that party were chosen, naturally a good deal of interest was manifested. This interest was made more marked in view of the fact that there had been a federal election held so recently and the supporters of the party were feeling very enthusiastic. , There was known to be a strong desire in many quarters to obtain places on the executive committee for the year and accordingly the Interest was somewhat increased on that account. A rule was adopted by the executive in response to a resquest by a number who wished to have the membership list closed down some time before the meeting. Accordingly it was advertised that no members would be enrolled after Saturday evening, and admission would be by ticket. This avoided the confusion which attended the enrolling of members on the night of the meeting, with the consequent confusion that a'ways followed. The rule worked a hardship in some cases, where strong supporters who had not been were not aware of the rule being so stringently enforced, found it impossible to have a voice in the election. Fortunately, the number so excluded was small. Enthusiastic Meeting The attendance was large, and most enthusiastic. J. A. rvirkpatrick, last year's president, occupied the chair, and with him on the platform were William Manson, M.P.P.; Robert deB. Hovell of Hazelton and the secretary, Dr. J. A.'Quinlan. After the reading of the minutes and other necessary routine business the meeting proceeded to elect its officers. It was suggested that short speeches should be given by the candidates nominated but the time that would thus be consumed was felt to be a barrier upon this and it was voted down. Elect Officers Before the election of the executive was taken up the following honorary members were elected unanimously: Honorary president, Hon. R. L. Borden, K. C.J honorary vice presidents, Hon. Richard McBride, H. S. Clements,- M. P., and William Manson, M. P. P. Proceeding to the election of officers it was decided in order to expedite matters that the thirteen who should compose the officers and the executive should be selected on the first ballot, the highest thirteen being elected members of the executive, and that from these the meeting should later select 4he four officers. This was acted upon and resulted in the selection of the following thirteen, by the vote opposite their names, from a total list of fifty-six: Geo. D. Tite 214 J. E. Merryfield 207 J. A. Kirkpatrick 200 J. G. Scott 205 Geo. W. Kerr 203 ' M. M. Stephens 192 O. H. Nelson 187 Thos. Maitland 184 J. Wynne 156 F. Cullin 156 J. H. Hllditch 144 Dr. Quinlan 137 W. J. McCutcheon 134 While the count was being conducted tbe time was taken up with an impromptu programme of music, speeches and recitations by members of the association. Following the announcement of the thirteen selected, the election of officers followed. In no case was a ballot found necessary, the choice being unanimous in each case, and was as follows: President—Geo. W. Tlte. First Vice.-Pres.—M. M. Stephens. Second Vice.-Pres.—F. E. Cullin. Sec.-Treas.—O. H. Nelson. District Convention It was decided that the high nine on the list of those elected In the executive should be delegates to the Skeena District convention to be held in this city on Saturday afternoon. At this meeting general business will be transacted and delegates elected to the Provincial con- month. o IN NEW UNIFORM Chief of Polite Has Now Striking Apparel—Friends Remember the Hat W. H. Vickers, chief of police, has now donned a uniform In keeping with the position he bears. The tunic is an unostentatious one, but very neat and smart in appearance. Unfortnuately, however, there was no head dress provided with the new outfit. Feeling that the chief should have a fitting cap to accompany the rest of the uniform a few of his friends about the Government block had a rather striking hat "built to order" and in the presence of a party of friends a few days ago it was presented to him by W. E. Fisher. It resembled the French army head dress of a century ago but had a brilliant inscription across the front, "Chief of Police—The Terror of All Evildoers." PUBLIC PROTECTED Provision is Made in the Sewer Bylaw to Overcome any Objections. Engineer Is Heady to Extend the Main if This Step is Made Necessary The report of the city engineer presented at the last meeting of the city council conveyed the information that there was sufficient provided for in the Hays Creek sewer bylaw to provide a temporary means of carrying the flow from the sewer at the manhole where it is designed it shall end out beyond the entrance to the creek. The idea which the city engineer has in leaving the sewer uncompleted out into the harbor is that the plans of the G. T. P. with respect to the works they will undertake there are not yet fully settled. Mr. Kelliher, when here last summer, went into the subject, requesting that it be left until they settled upon the plans, when the sewer could be constructed to conform with this. The city engineer and Mr. Kelliher were united upon the plan now adopted and did not fear any inconvenience. Colonel Davis, however, has made provision that should there be any objectionable feature it can be done away with by a temporary continuation of the sewer seawards. Under these circumstances it would seem that the public is well protected in the matter. o Zero Weather Alberta is in the graps of a severe cold snap, in fact, one of the earliest mercury dips on record. This section of the prairie Is quite used to below zero weather in the latter part of December and January and February, but the present situation Is most unprecedented. o Mock Mayoralty Contest. The Presbyterian Club held a most entertaining electoral contest on Wednesday evening, when Frank Ellis was elected mayor over W. G. Dennis. Very amusing speeches were delivered by both aspirants, but each appealed to a dlffeient class, for the successful candidate captured all the men and the defeated one the ladles. o Cannot t'sc Venire A case that has been pending In the supreme court of the province for some time relati-ve to the use of the words, Grand Trunk or Grand Trunk Pacific, In connection with companies other than the railway referred to, has been decided by Mr. Justice Clement in Vancouver. He has decided that the anmes cannot be made use of by other companies. o In New Offices David H. Hays has moved into his new offices at the corner of Second Avenue and Second Street. The location is an exceedingly bright and cheery one and Mr. Hays has a splendidly appointed office his new block. The finishing of It makes it among the very best in Prince Rupert. Mr. Hays has all preparations made for the sale of Section Two on November 29. MAY BE TROUBLE C.T.P. and C.N.R. Likely to Clash Connection With Blasting. in / Near Yellotvhpad Pass the Two Lines Hun Close to One Another on Mountain Side Judging from the location of the C. N. R. main line west of the summit of the Yellowhead Pass, between hte west end of Moose Lake and the point where the lines swings south to follow Albreda Pass, there is a possibility of a series of injunctions on behalf of the (i. T. P. as long as the list of provisions in a big league constitution, says the Edmonton Capital. If there is to be trouble, which seems very probable, it will start when the C. N. R. commences to cut out its right-of-way along the mountain sides between Miles 27 and Mile 47, B. C, for it is almost inevitable that they will be blowing the fragments from their rock cuts right down on the G. T. P. grade, which will be anywhere from 30 feet to 360 feet below them. The situation is this: The Grand Trunk Pacific line starts to descend toward the bottom of the Fraser Valley with a one per cent grade at the west end of Moose Lake. This grade, which is the heaviest on the whole National Transcontinental system, is made necessary through the fact that the road has to make a descent of more than 1,000 feet in the twenty miles between Moose Lake and Tete Jaune Cache. On the otlfer hand, the C. N. R. has to hold Its grade and accordingly must place its line higher up on the rugged slope of the Fraser Valley so that it will get over the Albreda Pass without getting down into a hole from which it must climb out again. From the west end of Moose Lake, where both lines cross the Fraser River, the C. N. R., at an elevation of about thirty feet above the G. T. P., the forme line uses a seven-tenths of one per cent grade. The difference between the seven-tenths and the one per cent grade used by the G. T. P. brings the C. N. R. about 360 feet above the other line where the two part company to go on their respective ways to Prince Rupert and Port Mann. Both lines are on the same side of the Fraser River. There are places on this twenty mile stretch where the G. T. P. will be built on the face of a mountain slope and the C. N. R. will be located 100 feet or more above on the ON VISIT TO INDIA! BASEBALL SEASON King and Queen Have Departed for the Durbar Under Special Convoy. The \isit of Their Majesties Marks it Precedent In tlie History of the Empire A few days ago London bade goodbye to King George and Queen Mary, when their majesties sailed on the steamship Medina for India, where the great Coronation Durbar will be held next month. Rear Admiral Sir George Keppel is in command of the royal vessel and also of the naval escort, consisting of the first class cruisers Cochrane, Argyll, Defence and Natal. While King George is an excellent sailor and able to keep his sea legs in the roughest weather, Queen Mary is not always able to withstand mal de nier, and for her benefit a rough weather cabin has been fitted up amidship. Here the movements of the vessel in a storm will not be fe't so severely as in the royal suite forward. Electric fans and electric heaters are fitted up all over the ship. About twenty ladies and gentlemen in waiting accompanied the King and Queen on the Medina, and special cabins have been prepared for them. Plans for the stay of' the royal party In India, during which the King will be formally crowned as Emperor of that vast and ancient country, are practically completed. The King and Queen will make their state entrance into Delhi on December 7, and this date, as well as December 12, the actual day of the Durbar, will be general holidays throughout India. On December 12 a royal proclamation will be read in every town and village of the Empire, royal salutes will be fired from every gun in India and the whole country will be ablaze with illuminations at night. The thirteenth will be devoted to a petople's fete all over the land. All of the ruling princes and great chiefs of India will be commanded to the Durbar. Envoys from Nepal and Afghanistan and the Maharajah of Bhutan will also be present. It is expected that fully half a million people will greet the King at Delhi and will witness the spectacles connected with the Durbar. The departure of the King is an epoch making event in the history of Indoor Clubs of the City Will Enter Upon Schedule Early in December The indoor baseball teams of the city are preparing for a good season's sport this year. A meeting of the representative of the clubs of the city was held last night, when five teams entered for the contests. These are the Crescents, representing the Baptist Brotherhood; Royal Dlues Empress Maple Leafs, Anglican Athletic Club, and the Quill Drivers. Each club represented is to appoint a delegate to compose a committee that is to draw up a schedule not later than November 23 so that a start can be made early in December, probably the first week in that month. o Pretty Calendar T. J. Davidson of the Peerless Studio of this city has a very attractive calendar for the year 1912. It is adorned with a photo of Hays Cove showing the Sixth Ave. trestle with touches of scenery about the place. The cloud effects and shadows are excellent in the photo, which makes the ca'endar a real work of art. o SALE FOR TAXES Land Representing Old Time Speculations in the North are Now up at Auction. Provincial Government Is Selling oft Lots in Various Parts of the Nortli for Arrears of Dues TO ISSUE DAILY . Next week the Journal will appear as a morning daily paper, hoping thereby to better serve the public than has been possible as a semi-weekly. In changing the paper local subscribers will be credited with the amount paid by them on their semi-weekly subscription and that will be applied towards their daily subscription. The announcement of a daily edition has been received very kindly in the city and the Journal feels complimented indeed by the many kind remarks make ebout it by the citizens. It will be the endeavor of the management of the paper to glv? to residents as good as can be given. The policy of equal rights to all classes in the community to their own views on questions of public Interest will be pursued. The Journal has no quarrel with the men that differ In opinion from the views held by the paper but Is ready to accede to every man the right to think for himself and to decide on the issues. same slope, imagine, if you can, the effect of blasting operations nn the higher elevation with five or six hundred workmen busy in the cut below, or with a construction train moving along the finished track. A similar difficulty has been encountered during the past summer where, In the country between the McLeod River and the Athabasca, the C. N. R. grade ran too close to the G. T. P., endangering the grade of the later line from slides of the former's fills. Injunctions on the C. N. R. contractors were served on these ocrosions and In some places the work is still untouched pending a new locution of the C. N. R. right-of-way. There is every probability that injunctions will be utilized freely by the National Transcontinental to protect their grade from dislocated pieces of mountain which the C. N. R. will set flying next summer. y 0 Robert Dell. Hovell of Hazelton Is In Prince Rupert. He has just returned from a trip to Vancouver. the Empire. Never before bus a king of England visited one of the Dominions or dependencies and the very fact that King George has practically Insisted against the advice of his niin- inlslers In being crowned Emperor of India Is a matter of profound significance. Funeral of Airs. Fortune The funeral of the late Mrs. Gilbert Fortune was very largely attended yesterday. Services were conducted at the Presbyterian Hall by Rev. F. W. Kerr. Interment was at Garden Island. -o- liowiinie Contests A movement is on foot in connection with Morrison's bowling alley to hold a series of team competitions In the city. It Is also proposed to hold some outside contests between the strongest team available here and similar teams in cities in the south. The results in such a case would have to be telegraphed. At the present time an auction sale of lands put up by the government to meet the demands of the taxes is being held In the provincial buildings. The list of lands so offered is a long one and Includes all classes of property. A perusal of the list is interesting, recalling as it does the blasted hopes of some years ago with respect to certain places that were expected to become great commercial centres. These are contained in the list of lots, a record of wild speculations in some cases and in others evidence of first class chances wliich, however, failed to materialize and in consequence the owners have let the pro- erty go. The prices realized for the property offered for sale has been good and the provincial assessor and collector, A. Cuthbert, is well pleased with the results. The sale started yesterday and will be kept going until all the lots are sold. o — ,CHANGE OF GOVERNMENT Prince Edward Island Is to Have a Conservative Ministry The result of the two bye-elections In the province of Prince Edward Island yesterday ensured the defeat of the Liberal government. In the Augustus district, Premier Palmer was beaten by Dewar, the Conservative, by 329 majority. In Belfast district, Prof. Alex. McPhail, an Independent, was victorious over Nash, Liberal, by about 200. Before the elections the parties In Ihe House slood, 18 Liberals and 14 Conservatives. IMPORTANT STATION Best Equipment on the Coast is Being Provided at Digby Island Headquarters. it is Reported That the New Steamer for Departmenl Is to be Placed Here The sub-station under the marine department on Digby Island will soon be ready for business. The buildings are now well in hand and the whfehar, which is of re-inforced eroncrete, is being put in place. The station is quite an elaborate one and while the intention seemed to be to make it a sub-station to the main depot at Victoria the works done here would indicate that it will probably become quite as important as the one at the provincial capital. It is said to have been the intention to station the new steamer being built by the department in the east at Digby, thus leaving the Quadra for the southern portion of the coast. There is no question that for some years to come the heaviest part of the work on the coast in the matter of locating buoys and lights and other aids to navigation will be In the north, In the part that is just now really opening up, Under these conditions the need of the best equipment is at this port, which accounts for the decision of the department to put the new steamer in service out of here. The equipment now going in place here at the Digby station is far superior to any thing at Victoria, so that there should be the best of facilities for handling all the aids to navigation required in the north from here COMMISSIONER NAMED George H. Cowan Will Report Upon Penitentiary Conditions in Dominion New Westminster, .Nov. 17.—During a Conservative smoker held in celebration of his return from tbe Dominion capital, J. D. Taylor, M. P., announced that George H. Cowan, ex-member for Vancouver, had been chosen by Judge Doherty, the new ninlster of justice, to Investigate into penitentiary conditions throughout Canada, and particularly in British Columbia, with a view to thei! betterment. Mr. Taylor secured from Judge Doherty a promise thai a new schedule of wages would be prepared, based on Commissioner Cowan's report and that special allowances would be made for employees in this province in consldera' tion of the higher cost of living here. The minister of justice has given his word to make several radical Improvements in the penitentiary at New Westminster, as elsewhere throughout the Dominion. The funeral of l.udger Roy was held yesterday morning, services being conducted at the Roman Catholic Church by Rev. Father Bunoz before the body wus conveyed lo Garden island. Hayner Bros, bad charge of the funeral. After an absence of several weeks, M. Albert, manager of the Westliolme Lumber Company, is back to the city. E. H.

I PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL Friday, November 17, 1911. Mankind on Earth When did mankind first begin to exercise his intelligence on this planet? Estimates have varied from anything between the early chronological calculations, none of which required more than four numerals, and the researches of scientists, which have been expressed in as many as six. Des Vignoles, in the preface to his "Chronology of Sacred History," asserts that he collected upwards of 200 different calculations, the shortest of which reckoned only 3,433 years between the creation of the world and the commencement of the vulgar era,, and the longest 0,984. The difference amounts to thirty- five' centuries, but that difference is infinitesimal compared with the various theories which geologists and archaeologist students of prehistoric times have advanced. And even these are thrown into the shade by the contentions of Dr. W. Allen Sturge, M.V.O., whose researches are described in the first volume of the "Proceedings of the Prehistoric Society of East Anglia," of which he is president. The conclusion of the whole matter may fitly be put first. "Neolithic man goes back to some period between 200,000 and 300,000 years ago, and it would seem that we have not even then reached the beginning of the period. Drift man was flourishing from a million years to about seven hundred thousand years ago. Neither figure Is a limit; the later figure is probably nearer a limit than the earlier. Between the end of the Drift and the beginning of the Neolithic we have the great 'Cave' periods, which would thus seem to have occupied anything from 200,- 000 to. 400,000 years. Behind the Drift man are vast ages of which we are only beginning to get the first glimpses. But it now Beems evident that man was already on earth in early Pliocene times, and we must not be surprised if proofs are ultimately brought forward that genus homo goes back even farther than that. It has become almost a shibboleth that man first appeared in Pleistocene times; but I affirm that it is no more than a shibboleth. There is absolutely nothing a priori for or against the statement; it is entirely a question of evidence. "The evidence is very difficult to weigh, and only first class experts are jujstified in pronouncing upon it. Expjert knowledge of the highest description may as yet be scarcely obtainable, but it is the duty of all who are actively working in this field to increase their knowledge by all means in their power. In this way questions that today are almost insoluble will become clearer in a few years' time, and discussion as between nature made and human work will be reduced to comparative certainty." This is the remarkable conclusion to a remarkable paper. Dr. Sturge admits that his theroies must inevitably run counter to the generally received opinions of geologists as to the sequence of events in the Pleistocene period, and, also, to a large extent to the views hitherto held by prehistoric archaelogists regarding the Neolithic, and, in a less degree, the Palaeollth or ages of man. But he asks them to put on one side any preconceived views on the subject and suspend judgment until all of the data are before them. Dr. Sturge is still pursuing his Investigations, but, as he says, the time has come when many minds should set to work at the great problems Involved. His attention was first drawn to the subject about 1896, when he had Tecently acquired two collections containing large number af Palaeolithic Implements He was not a little surprised to find that not a few of these Implements had well defined scratchings upon them. Two or three years afterwards Dr. Sturge had the opportunity of acquiring some G.000 or 6,000 of the commoner types of Neolithic flint implements, scrapers, fabricators, etc., that had been collected from Beveral places in NorthweBt Suffolk. And when looking out for a house on settling in England after many years abroad he had the good fortune to secure one in what has proved to be the very centre of the most prolific area of the country from the point Of view of the Stone Age. Dr. Sturge has, therefore, been In a position for nearly two years past to study the curious problems suggested by an examination of these flints on the very place where they are found, and with ample leisure. The neighborhood of Ickllngham is probably one of the richest in the world for human flint work of the Neolithic age. Large numbers of very fine Implements of all kinds have been found there during the last half-century. Every peasant is more or less expert In these things, and school children bring up their little.bags of stones for inspection and purchase. Although the fine things are no longer turning up in the numbers prevalent a quarter of a century ago, yet the fields are still very rich in the rougher implements just the class of implements from which most may be learnt of the history of the period. The number of these in Dr. Sturge's collection may be counted by the 10,000, so that the remarkable results which he brings forward are based upon a very careful investigation. A merely casual examination of many of the Neolithic flint implements and flakes will show that their human surfaces are not smooth and Intact. The extremely hard substance of the flint is cut as though the Implement had been made of wax rather than flint. To anyone who appreciates the conditions, Dr. Sturge remarks, this widespread scratching of humanly flaked flints is a very staggering phenomenon. The true explanation must accord with the fact that on the highest ground in the neighborhood a substance, as hard or harder than the hardest flint, has been dragged over the other flints under pressure. No solution but that of ice action seems to explain the prenomenon. Since these implements were made there has been at least one Ice sheet over the country, which has obeyed the laws of glacial action, has advanced by slow degrees over the country, picking up stones in its course and dragging them along with it. To admit that a glacial period, has occurred since human implements of Neolithic types were formed is to revolutionize all views on glacial geology. Dr. Sturge boldy advances it as the only explanation of this writing on the flints. Since Neolithic man came to Britain there has been an ice age, he contends. This ice age was not continuous, but was divided up into sub-periods of glaclation separated from one another by pdriods during which the ice was absent; and this afteration recurred several times, five at least, and probably six. The proof of such alternation lies in the presence on the same areas of humanly-worked flints with their humanly-made surfaces presenting sharply defined types of scratching. From evidence given in great detail, Dr. Sturge contends that the work was done by man on flints 50, 60 or perhaps 80 thousand years ago, which has not been subjected to glacial action, and therefore that the last glaciation must be dated back at least as far as that. The first men to come back when the Ice sheet was retreating to occupy the land in the relatively short interval of inter-glaciation would be of the toughest kind, bearing much the same relation to the population farther south than the Eskimos do to the more favored populations. Their implements are of the roughest, almost worthy of the name of Neolithic eoliths, and Dr. Sturge is now collecting some rather remarkable evidence that these Eskimo conditions recurred each time that man came back after the retreat of the ice sheet. Dr. Sturge claim to have proved, on irrefragable evidence, that the Neolithic period lasted well over 200,000 years and probably 300,000. "I even go so far as to say," he remarks, "that one great difficulty in my estimation of the 'Drift' age is to reconcile the vast periods involved with the comparatively short period of 300,000 years between the beginning of the penultimate Ice age a million years ago, and its ending 700,000 years ago." MORE WIRELESS STATIONS The question of providing a greater wireless service for the shipping In- tercBts of this coast was a subject that received attention at a meeting of the Vancouver Board of Trade. A letter from the British Columbia Packers' Association was read to the meeting setting forth the need of additional wireless stations, particularly between Cape Lazo and Prince Rupert, which is at present entirely unprovided. After listening to several arguments in the matter, the board decided to petition the Federal government for additional stations at Alert Bay and Swanson Bay, as at present there is no station in that dangerous zone of navigation within a stretch of 400 miles.

INDUSTRIAL COUNCIL Method of Adjusting Labor Troubles in the Old Land Has Been Found. Wlule Not Given Compulsory Powers It Is Able to Exercise Great influence The government's action In appointing an industrial council of representative employers and workmen, whose functions shall be to Inquire Into matters referred to them In connection with labor disputes, and take suitable action upon such disputes, is generally welcome. As au experiment it is well worth making at a time when the nation lias just passed through one great industrial war, and there are ominous signs of another, even greater, on the horizon. The council, presided over by Sir George Askwith, of the Board of Trade, who has earned the name of being a great conciliator, is so representative in character as to Invest its recommendations with a strong claim upon the respect and confidence of both capital and labor. This council comprises some of the great captains of British industry, and also includes a number of trades unionists, representing not only the older and more solid unions, but also the new type or more advanced and aggressive societies. The council is not, however, invested with compulsory powers. Sir George Askwith, as chairman, has the title of chief industrial commissioner. The Lancashire trouble throws a new light on the vexed question of trades unionism in England. Some unionists at the Yatefield Mill, Burnley refused to work with four non-union men, and sent in a notice that they would strike on Thursday. The employers in North and Northeast Lancashire took up the challenge and threatened a lockout if the strike took place at the Burnley mill. The difficulty was overcome by the four non-union men joining the union. This was an evasion rather than a settlement, but it was welcomed as averting industrial trouble in Lancashire at a moment when all signs point to a busy season in the cotton-spinning business. The Times remarks: "It is difficult to conceive that any sensible man, left to himself, would think it worth his while to subject his family to privation merely because three or four non-union men work in the same mill. This kind of trouble comes from the subtle machinations of professional agitators, who care little about the welfare of those whom they duty with inflammatory appeals to prejudice." A private who had fought bravely during the Boer war had occasion to seek employment of a we'l known general. This private had the misfortune to lose his nose while in action. The general was so tickled with the appearance of the man that he burst into a loud laughter, to the discomfiture of the soidier. When his laughter had subsided, the general said: "My good fellow, where did you lose your nose?" "I lost my nose, sir," said the nettled private, "in the same battle that you lost your head."

PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL *************************** Oil is Satisfactory ! * ************************** The Railway and Marine World publishes an article written by Capt. J. W. Troup of the C. P. R. relative to the use of oil as a fuel in the company's vessels. Capt. Troup pronounces the experiment a decided success. He says: "After very careful consideration of the subject during last year, the C.P.R. management decided to equip a few of its vessels on the British Columbia coast, for the purpose of testing the efficency of oil as compared with coal for fuel. Before doing this the various aspects of the question, as to speed, efficiency, supply and cost, were discussed, and the result of this inquiry, together with the experolence of others, indicated clearly a decided advantage In the use of oil. "The first vessel to be equipped was the Princess May, which was undergoing extensive repairs. While the retorts were being made, two oil- tight bulkheads were erected-In the hull, these bulkheads runnings from side to side of the ship. Two fore and aft divisions were placed in compartment form, thus giving three complete and independent oil tanks, ureat care was exercised in the execution of the work, as it is found more difficult to make steel work tight for oil than for water. The work was done by the B. C. Marine Railways Co., and has proved an entire success. "The Princess May has three boilers, with three furnaces each. These furnaces were fitted with the Cyclone burner. The principle of the system Is an extension front on the furnaces suggestive of the old-time Dutch oven effect, and each front is fitted with a burner, the oil being atomized by a steam jet, and the form of the jet is such as to set up centrifulgal action, thus breaking up the oil into small particles. It distributes the oil and therefore the flame, following the corrugated furnace In circular form, thus utilizing the entire surface, bottom and all. i "The oil used, in order to comply with the government requirements, is very heavy, and before passing through the burner, is pumped through a heater, raising the temperature to about 160 degrees. This liquifies the oil, and allows a thorough atomization, and with a careful adjustment of the admission of air, the fires burn with a very clear, bright flame, and the boilers steam freely. "Formerly, when burning coal, this vessel was unable to make the desired speed at all times. There were losses through cleaning of fires and the handling of ashes, and on a voyage where tides form such an important feature, due to the necessity of passing through certain channels at certain stages of the tide, if the vessel fails to catch the tide, it becomes necessary to anchor, and thus lose still further time. It will therefore be readily seen how important it is to be able to secure the speed when called for, and this advantage has been gained in the Princess May by the use of fuel oil. It is now found that she can maintain an average speed with two hollers, just about equal to what she had before with three boilers burning coal. "One of the great advantages in the use of oil is the steady steam throughout the watch, and In fact from day to day. With coal it is up and down, and the operation of cleaning fires has an injurious effect on the boilers, while with oil there is no cleaning of fires, and the temperature remains the same at all times. "The company's vessel, Princess Charlotte, has also been fitted for oil, the fuel being carried in her double bottom, no special tanks being required. She has six boilers with three furnaces in each. They have all been fitted with Cyclone burner0, and this vessel Is showing very good resuItB. "It is found that 3.75 barrels of oil will do the work of one ton of Vancouver Island coal. "One of the great advantages in the use of oil is its cleanliness and the great saving in labor. No coal trimmers are required, no gangs of men to put the coal on board; or the ashes overboard the number or firemen is very much reduced, and their work is now comparatively easy. The decks are not covered with cinders and smut, and the time required for taking coal on board each day is more than cut in two. "The company has constructed a large tank in Vancouver with a capacity of 55,000 barrels of oil. There has been placed near the wharf another tank of 1,000 barms. The oil is transferred from the large tank to the smalled one by means of a steam pump, and from the smaller one direct to the vessel's tanks by an electric driven pump of sufficient capacity to deliver about 1,000 barrels an hour on board. 'The company's officers are very much pleased with the results so far, and there is little doubt that the greatfer number of the company's vessels on the coast will soon be fitted for this fuel." MINISTER BANQUETTEI) KELOWNA—Residents of the Okanagan Valley attended in large numbers the banquet tendered the Hon. Martin Burrell , minister of agriculture, here a few nights ago. In so doing they testified to the high regard in which they hold their representative, and the honor conferred upon their riding by Prime Minister Borden In selecting Mr. Burrell for the province's representative in the Dominion cabinet. The affair was one of the most pleasant in the history of the valley, and was of a non-partisan nature. After the toast to "The King" had been honored that of the "Guest of the Evening" was proposed. Mr. Burrel in responding touched on local affairs and conditions, but making no reference to the future policy of the department over which he will preside.

Friday, November 17, 1911. t OXSKItt ATIVK EXECUTIVE The local Conservatives, at a meeting on Wednesday evening, made choice of the executive for tbe ensuing year. The members of the body appear in another column and a perusal of the names shows that It is a very representative body. Fortunately the Conservative party In Prince Rupert is strong enough to elect several executives of equal numbers of good representative men who would do their duty properly, honestly and with a view to the main- talnence of the good name which they bear. All cannot serve on the executive. A choice has to be made and that was done in open meeting by the members of the association. The executive of a party in power occupies an important position. It stands as an interpreter of the wishes of the general body of the party to the member for the district. In this capacity it is essential that the men composing the executive should be men of good judgment and closely in touch with the general pulse. In the new executive such a choice has been made and the vast majority of the Conservatives, as indicated by their votes, are well satisfied. But while this may all be true, the editor of the Empire, as usual, is not satisfied. In his eyes the executive is composed of dishonest men, who continually hatch mischief and evil. The epithets applied to the members of the Conservative executive by the Empire will molest the members but little, we think. They are simply the latest recipients of the same chaste terms that have been used to describe in turn ail who cross, whether designedly or by accident, the pathway of the editor of the Empire. The venom will in turn be passed towards some one else in due course. Lest there are those who might be ro.'rled we wish to state that v.e do not believe that any attempts have been made to graft by last year's executive. The personnel of the new executive elected is a sufficient guarantee that the association is to be free from any attempts at graft this year and there is not a member of the executive who would not be trusted quite as far as the Empire could be trusted. In the Conservative Association the utmost good feeling exists in spite of the studied efforts of a very few men to work up for selfish purposes a feeling that there is friction. The executive has the assurance that it is supported and backed up by the majority of the Conservatives of Prince Rupert—Conservatives who are Conservatives whether their party wins or loses. be one of the greatest countries in the world, even if England never sent a man or a pennypiece out there. The mineral wealth is at yet untouched, the greatest known coalfields lying dormant—iron ore, copper, gold and silver, in the northwest, timber; all this is waiting the miner and prospector. This is all super-wealth. The real staple industry, the finest of all industries, is the agriculture of the country, with the growing of wheat as its main feature. "People talk of a set-back in Canada. Nothing is going to stop the production of wheat, which is Canada's wealth today, and will be its wealth for all time. What the manufacturer of today must do, if he wants to participate as he should In Canada's prosperity, is to wake up, to send out representatives to see what is wanted for the Canadian market, and when, even though, perhaps, at first on a small scale, branch establishments can be started to cater for the daily expanding markets of the Dominion,. These are the methods adopted by other countries, and the more one travels the more aghast one is at our methods of sitting and waiting for trade to drop into our laps." o .-..;**;« ^. ^* »;* .j.»I*^.^. ^.4. {.{.{. ^.{.»>^.^«.j. -i-»!»►•.«*>■*- * t ************************** SALARY OF ALDERMEN VANCOUVER—If a proposal made by Alderman Enright carries at the city council each of the sixteen aldermen who will then be the city fathers will cost the city $1,200 a year in the way of remuneration for their hard work and sacrifice of time.

COMMERCIAL CENTRE Norton Grlfftlis (iives His Views Relative to Canadian Development News of the Province SETTLES WITH INDIANS VANCOUVER—T. G. Holt, executive agent of the C. N. P. Railway, is credited in a despatch from Ottawa with having scored a signal victory over the Indians of Lytton. The new grade for the railways runs through a number of reserves along the Fraser Canyon below and above Lytton, and during recent weeks a special agent of the company has disbursed $25,000 to the natives. Id reality the land Is not worth one-hundredth part of that amount, but the railway had to run through it and so was compelled to settle. Land and vegetable gardens, and even buryylng grounds, had been purchased, and the railway had secured title to seven out of fifteen of the reserves they needed. With eight remaining unsettled, the Indians found a new value to the property. They demanded payment for the gold that might still exist in the sand bars along the Fraser River front. This opened a new question, and the railway company promptly put it up at Ottawa. The department told Mr. Holt that the Indians did not own. the gold, if there should be any remaining in the gravel there, but that all this belongs to the crown. No further difficulty in settling with the Indians is anticipated. CHINA'S CHANGES The Basis Upon Which the Celestial Empire Grants Constitutional Government. Quick Alteration in tlie Form of Rule Obtained in the Old Empire CONFERENCE AT OTTAWA Some of the Subjects Upon Wliich Progress Was Made Between Government Representatives J. Norton Griffiths, M. P. for Wed- nesbury, who is a recognized authority on trading relations throughout lhe Empire, and whose name is familiar in Canada, slated In an Interview in England recently that he regarded lhe rejection of reciprocity as bearing most momentously on British trade Interests. "The. leading industrial concerns in this country," he proceeded, "to reap a full share of Cunada's great future must slurt branch establishments In the Dominion itself, sending men and partially manufactured materials until such Industries attain a full development. The Americans are doing this all the time, and the industries that have been started of later years In Canada have proved a commercial success in every case. "The natural productiveness of the vast area, which no man can realize without having seen, ensures the future of Canada and guarantees an ultimate population up to the extent of the United States. These people have to have all the goods they use and require made for them. There Is not a single branch of trade in this country which could not be successfully established In Canada under experienced management. People must soon realize that Canada, without any booming, Is going to MISSIONARY BACK NEW WESTMINSTER —Among the passengers who landed from the C. P. R. steamer Monteagle at Vancouver on ber last trip were Miss E. G. Taylor, sister of J. D. Taylor, M. P., who has been In the interior of China for the past eight years lu connection with the work of the Chi- 110 Inland Mission, it is noteworthy that Miss Taylor left this coast in 101, immediately after the quelling of the Boxer troubles, and by a coincidence almost before she left China on her return trip, trouble broke out again, culminating iu what is now known to be a nation-wide rebellion against the Mani-lni dynasty. When Miss Taylor left her station In lhe heart of the Klangsi province In September, however the natives there were as peaceable as they have been during th entire time she lived there, and even up till the time she sailed from Shanghai, on October 17, little was definitely known of the extent of the trouble, although it was then suspected that the rebellion was of considerable import, and a number of missionaries had delayed their journey Into the Interior until information on the subject could be gleaned. INVESTORS HERE B. von Alvensleben, Count Voss and Captajn Rorvivk are In the northern part of the province Iook- into Investments. They arrived here on Wednesday and proceeded to Pacofi to Inspect the fishing company there in which they are Interested. Their visit to Prince Rupert may result in further investments being made In this part of the province by the same interests. China's Magna Charter, in which are incorporated all the constitutional demands of the army and the national assembly, has been formally promulgated. Concessions obtained in other lands only after centuries of strife have been wrung from the dragon throne in ten days. Little more than one week ago the throne was serene In its absolutism. Forms of constitutionalism had been granted, but its functions, even the veto power^ were absent. The Chinese people, through the legislative branch, obtain a larger voice ip the government than any other nation retaining the monarch- ial form. Parliament will be supreme. The national assembly will have full legislative power until a parliament is formed. The assembly will make the constitution, and the throne must accept it. Even the right, long exercised, to control the succession to the throne, has been taken from the imperial clan, and will be made a part of the constitution. The power to regenerate the coun- ery is now in the hands of the Chinese themselves. Whether they are capable of utilizing it wisely is yet to be determined. The draft of the bases upon whir lithe national assembly expects to construct the new constitution of China is as follows: 1. The emperor shall reign forever. 2. A person of the Ta Ching dynasty (the Great Pure dynasty, the same being the name adopted by the ruling family) shall be emperor inviolable. 3. The power of the emperor shall be limited by the constitution. 4. The order of succession to the throne shall be prescribed by the constitution. 5. The constitution shall be drawn up and adopted by the national assembly and promulgated by the emperor. 6. The power of amending the constitution shall belong to parliament. 7. The members of the upper house shall be elected by the people from among those particularly eligible. f. Parliament shall elect and the emperor shall appoint the premier, who will recommend the other members of the cabinet, who also shall be appointed by the emperor. The imperial princes will be eligible for the office of premier or members of the cabinet or administrative heads of the provinces. 9. If the premier when impeached bv parliament does not dissolve par- I anient he must resign. One cabinet shall not be allowed to_ dissolve parliament more than once. 10. The emperor shall assume direct control of the army and navy, but when this power 1b used in connection with Internal affairs the emperor must observe special conditions to be decided by parliament. 11. Imperial decrees cannot be issued to replace the law except in the event of urgent necessity, in which case they may be issued in accordance with special conditions. 12. International treaties shall not be concluded without the consent of parliament. But a treaty for the conclusion of peace or a declaration of war may be made by the emperor If parliament It not sitting, the approval of parliament to be obtained afterward. 18 Ordinances In connection with the administration shall be settled by acts of parliament. 14 In case the financial budget falls to receive the approval of parliament the government may not cat upon the budget of the previous year, nor may Items of expenditure be provided for In the budget be appended thereto. The government shall not adopt extraordinary financial measures outBlde the budget. 15. Parliament shall fix the expenses of the imperial household and any increase or decrease therein. 16. Regulations In connection with the imperial family must not conflict with the constitution. 17. The two houses shall establish the machinery for the administration of the court. 18. The emperor shall promulgate the decisions of parliament. 19. The national assembly shall act upon articles 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15 and 18 until the opening of parliament. Messrs. Bowser and Ross, in their conferences with a number of Fed- erkl ministers at Ottawa on subjects in regard to which the interest of the province and Dominion have come into contast, seem to have covered a lot of territory. At the preliminary conference with the Federal premier, Mr. McBride and the provincial ministers gave Mr. Borden a- list of the subjects on which they desired discussions, and Messrs. Bowser and Ross have since been doing detail work. The proposed purchase of the railway belt has been the principal subject of discussion, the provincial ministers urging that If it proves difficult to reach an early conclusion, at all events the. question of water powers should be settled by the removal of the present divided jurisdiction. . Another matter which is being pressed is lhe holding of an investigation into the Indian reserves. The position of the provincial government is that the acreage should be readjusted in accordance with the decrease in Indian population and the excess of land transferred to the province. Mr. Hazen has held up, pending investigation and consultation with the provincial authorities, a great number of foreshore leases which the outgoing government tried to grant to political favorites. Henceforth no such leases will be granted without consultation between the two governments. In this connection the application of the city of Vancouver for a forty- acre block of tidal flat in False Creek was under discussion. An allied subject is the granting of gravel leases in the bed of the Fraser. Here again views of the provincial will be sought. Mr. Bowser is concerting common action with the Dominion fisheries department, especially with regard to salmon. An effort 1b to be made to stock the British Columbia 'akes with white fish. The provincial authorities desire to transfer five or six million eggs from the hatchery at Sandwich, Ontario. The conference will continue tomorrow. wich, Ontario. ***************** ********* 1 i * Fergusons Burrell's Sanitary Distemper in Powder IS PREPARED POR USE BY SIMPLY MIXING WITH COLD WATER Artistic I Permanent !

FISHING INDUSTRY Interesting comparisons with the fisheries of the fisheries of the British Isles are given in the monthly bulletin of the department of marine and fisheries just issued, covering the month of September. Comparative figures for Newfoundland- and Norway are also published. The total value of the catch in Canada was 12,520,894, or $1,176,110 for the six months ending September 30, this representing all sea fish caught and landed in a fresh or green state. Of the salmon catch, amounting to 144,879 cwts., practically all comes from this province, and is valued at |1,115,234. Composing this total the northern district of British Columbia contributes 14,000 cwts., the the southern 126,000, and the Vancouver district 4,500. Of course the season is practically over, or else the takings would have shown much larger results. However, the bulletin does not give comparative figures with other years. This total of British Columbia salmon includes 165,000 cases of canned fish and small quantities of dry salted and smoked varieties, about 8,000 cwts. ■^inly being used fresh, or frozen for despatch to the east and the Orient. Next to the salmon industry, that of halibut ranks in the province in importance, and of the 23,.44 cwts. taken, valued at $124,791, throughout the Dominion, British Columbia contributes about 13,000 cwts., of which the value is about $60,000, the whole of it being marketed. Nova Scotia Is the only other province which affords any practical contribution to the halibut fisheries of the Dominion. The third principal fishery of the province, that of the herring, which- is confined to Vancouver Island, accounts for 6.450 cwtB. of fish fresh caught, and these are valued at $8,000. This is but a small fragments of the herring catch in the Dominion, which amounts to nearly 100,000 cwts., Nova Scotia supplying 50,600, and New Brunswick 30,- 000 cwts. of the balance. Cod ranks fourth in importance with 1,667 cwts. valued at $8,335, so far as British Columbia is concerned, a mere fraction of the 515,- 000 cwts taken in the month throughout the Dominion, no less than 440,- 000 cwts. being taken in Nova Scotia, though the scarcity of bait and the abundance of dogfish make a considerable difference to some of the chief fishing counties of the Atlantic province. Seven devilfish are reported to have been caught in the province, and apparently are valued at $7 a head, though the majority of fishermen would rather be without them, and are the only ones taken in the Dominion during the thirty days under review. The clam Industry amounts to 447 barrelB, worth about $2 a barrel, and other fish frequenting British Columbia waters noticed in the report are flounders, smelts, soles, oollchans and skate, while 137 cwts. of shell fish were captured. The total value of the Britisii Columbia fisheries for September was thus $1,234,240, or 49 per cent of the fisheries of the Dominion. one sealing schooners now at anchor in the inner harbor of Victoria and the sealers have put forward a claim for about $550,000 for compensa- tion, in consequence. The Victoria Sealing Company asks $500,000. The company, twelve years ago, was offered $450,000 by the United States government and allowed to retain their property to be placed to other usages. This offer made dur- Commssion of 1898 was acceptable to the sealers, but did not come into effect owing to the failure of the negotiations that time between the two governments over other questions. The Victoria Sealing Company has an idle fleet of thirty-five schooners as a result of the coming into force of the sealing treaty. These vessels, which are lying in a picturesque cluster In the upper harbor near Point Eillce, are the Sadie, Turpel, Arletls, Ainko, Diana, Viva, Dora Steward, Vera, Casco, Zillah May, Markland, Ida.

STOWAWAY PUT ASHORE Master of Alemeda, in Wrath, Lands Youth on Bleak Coast—Passengers Protest SEALING DISPUTE The sealing schooner Pescawha, at Victoria, is being made ready for sea and her owner, Captain J. W. Peppett, says he will apply for a licence to proceed on the spring cruise. The sealing treaty entered into between Canada, United States, Russia and Japan under which pelagic sealing is to be stopped for a term <if fifteen years comes into effect on December 15 next if the ratification is made by all the governments interested. It is understood Japan has not yet ratified the treaty. No word has been received by the collector of ClistomB at Victoria, J. C. Newbury, regarding the bringing of the treaty into effect and some of the sealers consider that they are permitted to make the spring cruise if their boats are cleared before December 15 next. Application will be made by Captain Peppett for a clearance as soon as the Pescawha is ready to proceed. The stoppage of pelagic sealing takes away the occupation of forty- On the bleakest shore of San Juan Island, miles from the nearest habitation, without food or shelter, a boy 11 years old, a stowaway aboard the steamer Alameda, was put ashore by Captain John Johnson. The boy was found in the steerage soon after the vessel left Valdez and was put to work by members of the crew. All went well until Captain Johnson learned that he was aboard and determined to put him ashore before Seattle was reached. Several of the passengers who had learned of the boy's plight appealed to the vessel's master, offering to give double the amount of his passage if he were allowed to continue the voyage, but Johnson was deaf to their entreaties. In a lifeboat, in charge of the third mate and two sailors, the boy was landed on the beach despite the protests of passengers and felt to walk without food or money to the nearest ranch. Soon after the return of the lifeboat and when the passengers learned that the little fellow was thinly- clad, and did not even have a coat, a meeting was called, and after Captain Johnson had been criticized, resolutions protesting against the treatment of the little fellow were adopted. A wireless message was also sent to officials of the Alaska Steamship Company advising them of the action of their employee.

KING'S HINTING If King George does not bring back from India next year a magnificent collection of hunting trophies, It will not be the fault of the Maha- rapah of Nepal, who Is making stupendous preparations for a untqle llger hunt In which the newly crowned emperor of India will take part. Some Idea of the grandeur of this hunt may be had when one hears that it will take 500 elephants to carry the hunters. These beasts are now being trained to stand the noise of guns and the sudden onslaught of maddened tigers. The hunt will take place in the jungles of Nepal, which are the private property of the Maharajah and which, situated on the southern foothills and marshy taral of the Himalayas, are the densest and most unexplored of any in India. They are literally swarming with wild beasts, which are very arerely disturbed, because foreign sportsmen are excluded, except when Invited by the Maharajah. The shooting done by the Maharajah himself is not enough to make an impression on the game, which includes wild elephants and r hlnoceroses, with all kinds of tigers, bears, leopards, wild boars and deer.

Strange Find in Parliament Some excitement has been caused among the officials responsible for the well-being of the Palace of Westminster by the discovery of a rat in the wooden roof of Westminster Hall. The rodent is in mummified form, and has long ceased to gnaw or destroy. Its presence, however, in a sanctuary which has been preserved against the intrusion of rats for centuries has caused a notable commotion in that usuallp peaceful home of refuge for harassed husbands and suffraglng "M.P.s" What is puzzling the authorities is not the mummification of anything in Westminster but the presence of a "rat."

NORTHERN ANTHRACITE COLLIERIES UNITED HAS BEEN INCORPORATED WITH THE FOLLOWING OFFICERS: D. R. YOUNG HAS CONTRACTED FOR THE PURCHASE OF TWO BLOCKS OF SHARES OF 100,000 SHARES EACH, AND THEY ARE BEING SOLD BY A. E. KEALEY, FISCAL AGENT, FOR THE PUR- CHASER. T. S. Gore, President, Victoria, B.C. A. S. Innes, Victoria, B.C. J. C. Keith, Vice-President, Vancouver, B.C. Arthur E. Hepburn 1 Christian F. J. Galloway J F. H. Hepburn, Secretary, 317-317 Winch Building Kenah & Nesbit, Auditors Consulting Engineers, Vancouver, B.C. $85.00 Profit IN SIX MONTHS ON AN INVESTMENT OF $15.00 IS GOOD ENOUGH FOR ANYONE .{-{,000 SHARES HAVE BEEN ALREADY SUBSCRIBED FOR The Diamond Drill on the Ground Today Limited Amount of Stock at 15 Cents—5 Cents Cash Read this offer over carefully. Be sure that it is right, then don't wait. The owners take a chance with you. They put up the coal lands and you put up the money to prove the coal, one-half of the stock for you, and one-half for them. This is one of the fairest and best offers ever made to the public under ironclad conditions. A business proposition from start to finish, there is nothing on the market like it. Leases and Crown grants to over 3.600 acres of the best coal lands on Queen Charlotte Islands are being conveyed free from all encumbrances to the Northern Anthracite Collieries, Ltd., capital stock 1,500,000 shares, par value of $1.00 each; one-half of this stock for the treasury and one-half for the owners of the land. The first 100,000 of these shares of par value of $1.00 each, non-assessable and fully paid up, are to be sold at 15c, 5c with application, 5c in 30 days and 5c In 60 days. The proceeds from this block of stock will be used proving these coal lands with a Diamond Drill under special contract, and in charge of competent management. It 1b expected that the proceeds from this first block of stock will be sufficient to put down at least three or more boreholes of 1,000 feet each. This will undoubtedly cut one or two seams of splendid coal—then see your stock jump. Satisfactory tenders have been accepted and a contract let to the Diamond Drill Contracting Company of Spokane, Wash., for the boring and drilling operations. As an emergency, and to be absolutely on the safe side, a further block of 100,000 shareB of treasury stock will be offered at 25c per share, 5c on application and 5c per month until paid, as soon as the first block has all been subscribed. Now, use your own judgment, but consider carefully what your ch&nces are of making $85.00 on an investment of $15.00 in six months, or $1,000 on an investment of $150.00, for as sure as the sun rises and sets this stock will go to $1.00 at least as soon as the drill cuts through the seams of splendid coal that are surely there, according to all experts' reports of the highest obtainable authority, who have reported on the Queen Charlotte Islands coal measures as follows: T. R. Marshall, F.C.S., 1902; Dr. George M. Dawson, D. S., A.R.A.R.S.M., F.G.S., 1878; H. E. Parrish, John J. Langdale, 1867; James Deans, 1872; James Parkinson, 1888; R. W. Ellis, 1906; T. B. Cory, of the State of Washington, U. S.A., and our own expert, C. F. J. Galloway, B.Sc, who is among the best authorities In B. C. These reports cover first the Wilson-Robinson coal fields, three miles north of this coal land; second, the Old Cowgate coal fields, almost adjoining on the west; third, the Alfred Bay coal fields on the south; and fourth, the company's own coal, all of which are positive evidence that this is one of the best coal fields on the Queen Charlotte Islands. Situate on Graham Island, Bearskin Bay, one of the best harbors in the north, at the gateway of transportation to all points of the world, and at the very doors of Queen Charlotte City; in fact, a portion of this coal underlies the townsite. No railroads to build—Just lead the coal from the mines to the boats. These are facts that defy contradiction, and within five days the Diamond Drill will be on the ground and in operation. This is the only way anyone can tell how many millions of tons of coal there is in the property. All applications will be filed in order received, and only 100,000 will be sold at 15c. How many times in your life have you had a chance like this? A square deal for once at least in a stock proposition, with almost a certainty of the stock being worth $1.00 before you have made your third payment at 15c. Do not hesitate. Send in your application today. For further information call or write to the head office of the company, 506 Pacific Building, where the report of C. F. J. Galloway, B.S.C., on this coal land can be seen. His report is all that could be asked, practically saying that the coal is there beyond a doubt, with sufficient evidence in sight to warrant drilling and development work at once. Paragraph From Mr. Galloways Report "The easiest seam to prove will be the Cowgitz, as its horizon is known. I should, therefore, recommend you to put down a borehole near the eastern end of your easternmost section. At the point marked C on the map the position of this seam should be passed through at a depth of about 500 feet, the Camp Anthracite seam being probably passed through In the same hole, if it occurs at all in this locality." All promoters' stock is to be pooled until $200,000 has been raised for the purpose of developing the mine. In conclusion, you will have the satisfaction of knowing that your money is all golnng into proving the coal is there, not into the promoters' pockets nor to pay for a dead horse of any kind, as the coal leases and titles are all paid for and clear of all encumbrances and will always be a valuable asset. Fill out the application form for any number of shares you want and address your application to H. F. McRae & Co., Second Avenue, Prince Rupert, who are the authorized agents to receive applications and receipt for same. All cheques or money orders should be made out to them. You are requested to make any enquiries not answered in this advertisement, which will receive a prompt answer. The solicitors for all concerned are Burns & Walkem, 415 Winch Building, Vancouver, B.

(50,000) UNIVERSITY PLANS Minister of Education Gives Some De tails as to Proposition. He Will Start Lectures on Scheduled Time Even if It Is Necessary to Use TontB That It is the ambition of the department to make the University of British Columbia, when It is completely established, second to no other institution of learning on the North American continent, both with regard to the academic facilities and and the character of the buildings, was the noteworthy statement made by Hon. Dr. Young, minister of education, at the convention of school trustees in Vancouver. "The question in connection with the university that has been causing me the greatest amount of anxiety," remarked Dr. Young, "is that of suitable buildings. We are endeavoring to build up in this new province an educational system that shall be second to none, and we wish the buildings of our chief seat of learning to typify this spirit of Ihe best for British Columbia. "I have promised that classes will open in the summer of 1913, and I shall keep my word if they are opened In tents," continued the minister. "The teachers will be here and they can teach in tents as well as they can in marble halls." "But we are going to have marble halls, too," declared the speaker. "I purpose to estaullsh buildings here that will be a credit to North America. The department wishes to encourage the development of the western spirit and western enterprise. I have three men from the east now who are going to give me their as- slstanr-e In a broa scheme for the university buildings. The first faculty win be a school of architecture, and I intend to found a fellowship for British Columbia. The students from this faculty will have an opportunity of drawing up plans for the additional buildings that are required after the first necessary buildings are erected." "What we are trying to do here, along educational lines, is a standard for other to copy," continued the minister of education. Dr, Young commented upon the purchase of 2,000,000 acres of land ir British Columbia for school purposes and said that this had so in- ciessed in value that Premier McBride had promised him $1,000,000 foi this year'B work on the university alone. And this expenditure would not impair the endowment. Hon. Dr. Young made another pronouncement. This was that the government intended to bring not only public but also private schools under its purview, it was not suggested that there would be any Interference with private school teaching, hut It was Intimated that they would have to measure up to high academic standards, Dr. Young assured the association that any suggestions that were made during the convention would probably be adopted by the government, with certain modifications that might be adjudged necessary. "The department has the same Interest in building up the educational system as has the association of school trustees," concluded the minister. A number of resolutions were passed at the day's sessions. One of the most Important was that brought forwnrd by Magistrate George Jay of Victoria. This wns as follows: "That the provincial government be asked to Introduce at the next sesBlon of the legislature an amendment to the Liquor Act to the effect that no licence shall be granted or renewed for the sale of liquor as interpreted by the said act upon any premises adjacent to or opposite any public school building or grounds."

Canada enjoys this tariff advantage under the reciprocity agreement. This section was not dependent upon concurrent action by Canada.

AtC il JAPANESE FISHERMEN ARE NOT DESIRED Skeena District Conservatives Take Action Looking to the Taking of Industry out of Their Hands— Officers Elected for the Year at Meeting Held in This City Saturday Evening. (From Tuesday's Daily) The Skeena District Conservative Association meet in the Stephens Block, Third Avenue, on Saturday evening, with Dr. Quinlan in the chair. While many of the outside organizations were not represented by delegates in person, yet most of them had arranged for proxies through the secretary, H. Clarke. The meeting was called at this time particularly to name delegates to the Provincial Association, which meets this week in New Westminster, and also to select officers for the year. In the choice of officers, the following executive was appointed for the ensuing year: President, Dr. Jamieson, Ocean Falls; first vice president, J. G. Scott, Prince Rupert; second vice president, W. R. Smith, Stewart; secretary-treasurer, M. M. Stephens, Prince Rupert; additional members of the executive, E. H. Hicks-Beach of Hazelton, Dr. Traynor of Kitselas, Charles Tucker of Bella Coola, Charles Harrison of Masset, J. R. Johnson of Port Essington, E. W. Richards of Port Simpson, George Tite of Prince Rupert, A. J. Gordon of Skidegate and Harry Clarke of Prince Rupert Delegates to the provincial convention were appointed to the full number of ten, to'which the district is entitled. These were George D. Tite, J. E. Merryfield, J. A. Kirkpatrick and M. M. Stephens, representing Prince Rupert; E. H. Hicks- Beach and Robert deB. Hovell of Hazelton, who have been selected by their own associations; J. R. Johnson, representing the local Skeena; C. Wilson, representing Queen Charlotte Islands, elected by the association in Masset; F. E. Cullin, representing Stewart should that association not send a delegate, and 0. H. Nelson, representing Bella Coola district should that association not elect a delegate. Only about half of the representatives will be able to attend but they are carrying .the proxies of tne others so that the district will be fully represented. A number of communications were disposed of, including a request from Port Simpson Association asking for further aids to navigation and other matters affecting the local conditions there. The district association recommended that the department of marine and fisheries take steps at once to investigate the needs along the lines indicated. The needs of the fishing industry and the objectionable features met with in the monopolizing of the industry by Japanese was introduced by a resolution proposed by Mr. For- sythe, representing Port Essington Association. The resolution deplored the fact that the government at Ottawa had allowed the ■ Japanese to monopolize the fishing industry, and advocated that immediate steps be ta..en to overcome tnis. At the instance of William Man- son, M. P. P., It was suggested that as a means of rectifying the situation which has been created without working too great a hardship upon the cannery owners by cutting off the available supply of 'abor before white fishermen were to be got, regulations might be put into effect at once whereby the number of licences to be issued to Japanese might be materially reduced each year until at the expiration of about three years they would all be wiped out. A recommendation along these lines will be made to Hon. R. L. Borden and H. S. Clements, M. P. The delegates to the provincial convention were also instructed to do what they could along the lines suggested. The wish of the meeting was that the district association should be i..oroughly reorganized, and be in a position at all times to render any assistance to the various local associations throughout the district. At the same time the district association will in no wise usurp any powers of the different local bodies, but will act as a central body to assist in every way In the fullest organization of the party throughout the whole district. SOON REACH COAL British Pacific Co. is Hiking Splendid Progress With the Work at the Mine Double Shift Put at Work by Alex. Faulds—Will Ship Fuel in Few Weeks (From Tuesday's Daily) Alex. Faulds, M. E. of Vancouver i one of the best known mining engi- !* neers on the coast, was In the city yesterday, having returned from the Queen Charlotte Islands, where he has been busy for a few days past giving instructions as to how the British Pacific mines shall be developed. He 1b well satisfied with the way the work is going, having only one complaint, and that waa that it was not going fast enough to suit him. Accordingly, in a method very familiar to Mr. Faulds, he at once put a stronger force at work and expects to see coal shipping In less than a month. At first the shipment will not be large. The output will not exceed 100 tons a day for a while, but there will be that quantity available for sale on the outside. These mines, to which allusion has been made at different times in these columns, are under the general direction of W. G. MeMorris, with Mr. Faulds as consulting engineer In charge of the general development work. About twenty-five men are now employed on tlie road and from the mine to the water and in the two shifts that are sinking. Within ten days, perhaps, the cotl should be encountered and then the working of laying out the mine will not occupy a long time. The coal will be hauled by teams over the trail to the water in the GREAT GRAIN PORT * In an interview at Montreal * the other day, E. J.

MAIL FOR HAZELTON Insiicctor Fletcher Expects That There Will Be Xo Ground for Complaint This Winter Captain E. H. Fletcher, post office Inspector, after a tour up the Skeena to Investigate the canuitions relative to the winter mail, says that he anticipates that there will be an excellent service this year. Beirnes & Mulvaney are putting on a regular passenger, freight and mail stage stage line from the end of steel to Hazelton. By means of this there will be two malls a week taken into Hazelton, the time consumed on the route being but two days. The stage line Is by means of horses and sleighs along the right-of-way, so that there should be an excellent service. COMMAND CHANGES Captain Hackett Leaves the D.G.S. Qnadra -Captain Walbran is Again on the Bridge The Appointment Is Only Temporary Pending the Naming of a Permanent Head (From Tuesday's Daily) Yesterday at noon tne D. G. S. Quadra, which for nine years has been under the command of Captain Hackett, passed 'oftt of his control, he having insisted upon the acceptance of his resignation from the post. A permanent appointment to succeed him has not so far as know been made. The steamer puts out this morning under a temporary command. When Captain Hackett had his resignation accepted there was a good deal of speculation as to who would be his successor. It was learned that he was to arrive by the Princess May so that many were on the qui vive to see who would arrive. If Captain Hackett himself were to admit his exact feelings, it is more than probable he would himself have plead guilty to feeling a little curious about who was to come off the May. To the astonishment of all, when the C. P. R. steamer's gangplank was put out Captain John T. Walbran came asljore to resume command of a vessel of which he had charge for many years after she was built. Captains Walbran and Hackett are old personal friends and the meeting of the two was mutually agreeable. Captain Hackett's resignation from the command of the Quadra is taken as a result of a disagreement with the new superintendent of marine and Fisheries on the coast. This is Captain George Robertson, formerly master of the Prince George, who was appointed to the superintend- eney for the coast some months ago. Captain Hackett left port at Victoria several days ago with instructions to proceed to various points along the way between Victoria and the Langara light on Graham Island. Discretionary power was given him to a certain extent In shaping his course. It is understood that Superintendent Robertson questioned the judgment of Captain Hackett relative to part of the programme he carried out and the commander of the Quadra felt that he had not been treated with proper courtesy by his superior. He accordingly took the course of wiring his resignation to Ottawa from here and after some delay this was accepted. Captain Hackett has no fault to find with the department in general, nor does he attribute to the Conservative party which has just come into power any part in the disagreements which have arisen. The matter is one of difference between himself and the superintendent alone. On Friday Captain Hackett will leave for his home in Victoria. He will quit the sea, having reached an age when he thinks he can well retire from active life after spending a long term in a seafaring career. , Captain Walbran, who has now taken command of the Quadra, was her first commander. Nine years ago he retired from the post, which was given to Captain Hackett, who has remained in the post until now. Captain Walbran continued to be connected with the department, serving In the offices at Victoria. He has been commissioned to take the Quadra until n permanent captain is named. Captain Walbran has made a specialty of studying hydrographic work and while commander of the Quadra gave no little attention to the charting of uncharter rocks. He also Is an authority upon the names of places on the coast and the history of their derivation. In this connection, he had a volume published after many years of labor, giving the derivation of the different geographical names on the cost. Yesterday afternoon Captain Hackett took farewell of his crew, who all have a very warm regard for him. He addressed them in the presence of Captain Walbran, to whom he turned over the command In the warmest manner. o—'—■ Fire Escapes in Place After some delay, the fire escapes at the hospital have been pul in place. These were ordered by the hospital board several months ago hut through a delay in gelling some necessary parts the whole work was held up. PUBLIC ASSURED Council Goes on Record as Being in Favor of Nothing Unsatisfactory at Sewer End. The Matter Was Fully Explained al the Council Meeting Last Evening (From Tuesday's Daily) The city counci. met last night, with all the members present except Alderman Kerr. A letter was read from the Mack Realty Company offering to reserve insurance on workmen. The letter was referred to the boardjof works. A letter was read from C. D.. Rand asking for patronage in the way of insurance. This was referred to .the finance committee. Mr. Lucas of the engineering staff asked a month's leave of absence. They city engineer recommend that this request be granted as Mr. Lucas had not had a holiday since he entered upon his duties. On motion of Alderman Clayton it was agreed to grant the leave for a month. Application was made by Christiansen & Brandt asking for certain alterations in the sidewalk in front of the Royal Hotel. This was referred to the board of works for report. Mr. Budd wrote relative to information relative to establishing a cement factory if the material could be obtained here. Hays Creek Sewer A petition signed by seventy-six was presented asking that the bylaw for the Hays Creek sewer should be amended by extending the main to afford an outlet beyond the point determined upon. Alderman Morrissey moved that the petition he granted. . Alderman Hilditch moved that the petition should be referred to the board of works. Alderman Newton did not feel competent to offer an opinion last week, but he felt that Alderman Morrissey's views should have been met. He felt sure that if the bylaw was to be passed next Saturday that action should be taken. Medical Report His Worship said the matter had not been lost sight of since last week. He had asked the medical health officer to report upon it. He suggested that that report be read. The report was read. Dr. Reddie reported that while the condtions were not ideal, yet he saw no reason to fear anything from a sanitary standpoint. He did not agree with the view that the waters near the mouth of the creek would become a cesspool. Sewage soon became innocuous when exposed to the air. It had been shown that sewage passing in any open way through « city, while objectionable, was not necessarily unsanitary. He felt that the city engineer's report safeguarded the situation, as an extension of the sewer could be made. Alderman Morrissey felt like taking issue with the medical health officer. He had ordered the clearing of the G. T. P. reserve, which he felt was not as dangerous as this was. He felt that it was nonsense to think that this would not create a nuisance. He wanted lo see the bylaw carried but he would not support it if the bylaw was not amended to provide for the extension of the sewer. He would fight it to the hitter end. Alderman Douglas thought It would be foolish to put the bylaw j before the people unless It were | amended as suggested. Alderman Newton objected to citizens having deposits made "to stifle out their very nostrils." Situation Ex-plained Alderman Hilditch said he had Introduced the bylaw, and even last year had endeavored to have tbe sewer provided. It was one of the most important things required in the city to have sewerage. It will be tVelve months before the sewer is completed. Before that time the G. T. P. will probably have decided upon its plans for the mouth of Hays Creek. It will then he possible to decide where the pipe Is to be carried to. The sewer will not lie used very ex- lenslvely for some time and would not create a nuisance. It was Impossible to provide for a permanent pipe to the permanent outlet be- PALATIAL HOTEL TO START AT ONCE G. T. P. Superintendent is now in the City in Connection With the Immense Hostelry to be Erected Here-Work is to Begin at Once Says Nr. Bergman-Will use Canadian Material Throughout. F. W. Bergman, manager of the Chateau Laurier at Ottawa, the palatial hotel which the G. T. P. has erected there, reached Prince Rupert yesterday by the Princess May. He at once plunged into the work he has* in hand, namely, the investigation of the local situation as far as a hotel is concerned. In company with Mr. Sweet, manager of the Prince Rupert Inn, he made a tour of the city to acquaint himself with conditions and with the general lay of the place, so as to be able to intelligently decide upon the points which he has to report upon before the plans are finally adopted. He is well pleased with Prince Rupert and notes that there are many picturesque hotel sites available. He will be busy until Friday studying the local conditions, when he will go into the whole question with F. M. Rattenhury of Victoria, the architect. The main details of the hotel have already been described in these columns, and Mr. Bergman more than bears out the most sanguine expectations as to its character. The hotel will have 250 rooms at the start. It will be so planned that another 200 rooms can be added at a later date, and Mr. Bergan remarked that it was as cheap to design a house of 250 as 200 rooms. The G. T. P. has such absolute confidence in the future of its northern terminal that the company will spare not expense. It will prove none too large when the transcontinental is through. Mr. Bergman says lhat the company intends to use Canadian materials in the construction of the hotels, and all the furnishings are to be purchased In the country, even the kitchen utensils. The development of Canadian industries in the past two or three years had made this possible, through when he first left the C. P. R. to enter the G. T. P. service he doubted the feasibility of such a proposal. Mr. Bergman, speaking of the hotel policy of the company, said it was the intention to erect eight hotels, of which the Chateau Laurier at Ottawa was well advanced. Excavations were in progress at Winnipeg for the Fort Garry Hotel, and the hotels at Edmonton, Prince Rupert and Victoria were three more under consideration. Another would be located in the Sulphur Spring district in the Rockies through which the line passed, and would rival Banff, while the other two would be at divisional points of the line between Winnipeg and Edmonton, and Edmonton and Prince Rupert, the sites of which had not yet been located. All the hotels would be built in the French Chateau style, and speaking of the Winnipeg site, he said its proximity to the old fort had determined the directors to call it "Fort Garry," the remains of which are in a park almost adjoining, and close to the big Union Depot. The hotel in Victoria will not be as large, but on the same scale as Prince Rupert. Wire Trouble Trouble on the C. P. K. wires beyond Ashcroft Interfered with the service here last night and accounts for the absence of telegraphic news in these columns this morning. o Tenders Opened Tenders for water pipe were opened at the council last evening. In some cases tenders were received from headquarters in the old land. They were referred to the city engineer for report. Indian Remanded In the city police court yesterday morning Lo Storr, an Indian, was brought before the magistrate on a charge of being drunk, on information laid by Police Officer Adams. His <:ase was remanded until today in order to investigate further the sale of the liquor. o Opening Entertainment The Anglican Club, which promises to be one of the most actlvey in the city, will hold its opening entertainment in St. Andrew's Hall on Friday, November 24.

Mun- roe, Seventh Avenue, of ;r daughter The Kitselas tunnel has been cut through and it is estimated that In about ten days' time it will be ready for laying steel. Among the arrivals in the city on Sunday were some passengers who had made their way through the tunnel, which had on Saturday been broken through. They express the opinion that within about ten days the laying of steel can commence, which, with the good weather conditions up the river, should permit construction to the Skeena Crossing in nlroiii two months. General Superintendent Mehan has a reputation in the matter of track laying anil may he expected to make the fastest time possible in completing the line as early as it can be done.

PUBLIC ASSURED (Continued From Page One) cause it was impossible to get a right-of-way from the G. T. P. There was no use trying to pass a bylaw for $150,000, which might be possible. They could pass a bylaw for $75,000. Alderman Clayton had not changed his opinion from the week before, bue he felt that If the people wished the change, It would be necessary to make the alderation. If the people wanted this temporary sewer, 1( should be granted, even if it was not deemed by the council absolutely necessary. His Worship explained that according to the engineer's report the sewer was to be constructed to manhole No. 8. By the time this pipeline was finished and in use the G. T. P. might be In a position to indicate its plans and the permanent outlet could be provided for. The engineer reported that a temporary outlet could be constructed. If the city council decided, however, that it was necessary to make it compulsory that this temporary outlet should be constructed, the council could take such action. He felt that next year's council might construct the permanent outlet on the temporary one. Assurance Given Alderman Clayton moved that the petitioners be assured that before the sewer would be used, a temporary or permanent outlet should be provided. A difficulty was pointed out, that it was impossible to amend the bylaw now as that would necessitate re- advertising. Alderman Clayton then moved that in carrying out the bylaw now before the people the city engineer be Instructed to construct a temporary outlet before the sewer is used. Alderman Hilditch withdrew his amendment to refer the matter to the board of works. Alderman Morrisey objected to it. The amendment carried on the followoing vote: Mayor Manson, Aldermen Clayton, Hilditch and Kirkpatrick; nays, Aldermen Morrisey, Newton and Douglas. Some discussion followed, in which Alderman Newton expressed the opinion that the petitioners' wishes were not being met. Motion Reconsidered Alderman Hllditch said he would move for the reconsideration of the matter; in so doing he wanted it understood that those who were opposed to this former action should take the onus for any move. The motion for reconsideration carried, when Alderman Morrissey and Alderman Newton again moved to grant the request of the petitioners. It was pointed out that to carry this would upset the bylaw. Alderman Clayton moved that the bylaw be given the six months' hoist. He felt this was the only course to pursue. His Worship moved this out of order, as the bylaw was not before the council. The amendment of Alderman Clayton, that in carrying out the bylaw now before the people the city engineer be Instructed to construct a temporary outlet before the sewer is used, was carried, only Alderman Morrissey and Alderman Newton voting nay. It was decided to have the report of the city engineer on the matter of the sewer be published in all the local papers.I o JAPANESK FISHERMEN The Skeena District Conservative Association has taken a stand against the'employment of Japanese in the fishing Industry on the coast to the exclusion of white men. The Japanese have succeeded In practically monopolizing the taking of fish, thus shutting out the while fishermen from the industry. That the centres to which the fisheries are tributary are losers by the system that gives the Japs the monopoly goes without argument. Prince Rupert, which must become the base of supply for the Skeena River and ether northern fishing districts, has much to gain by white men being employed rather than Orientals. Anything that can be done to break down the system of employing these alien raceB of the Mongolian type will be welcome to the citizens of Prince Rupert. __ o HYDHO-ELECTHIC City Council Has Report From R. H. Thompson, Who Approves of Heavy Timber Standing R. II. Thomson, the consulting engineer for the city hydro-electric system, submitted a lengthy report to the rouncilst last evening, which was considered at some length and then left over until Thursday, when a meeting of the council will be held.

Kenah & Nesbit, Auditors $85.00 Profit IN SIX MONTHS ON AN INVESTMENT OF $15.00 IS GOOD ENOUGH FOR ANYONE 33,000 SHARES HAVE BEEN ALREADY SUBSCRIBED FOR The Diamond Drill on the Ground Today Limited Amount of Stock at 15 Cents—5 Cents Cash Read this offer over carefully. Be sure that it is right, then don't wait. The owners take a chance with you. They put up the coal lands and you put up the money to prove the coal, one-half of the stock for you, and one-half for them. This is one of the fairest and best offers ever made to the public under ironclad conditions.. A business proposition from start to finish, there is nothing on the market like it. Leases and Crown grants to over 3.500 acres of the best coal lands on Queen Charlotte Islands are being conveyed free from all encumbrances to the Northern Anthracite Collieries, Ltd., capital stock 1,500,000 shares, par value of $1.00 each; one-half of this stock for the treasury and one-half for the owners of the land. The first 100,000 of these shares of par value of $1.00 each, nonassessable and fully paid up, are to be sold at 15c, 5c with application, 5c in 30 days' and 6c in 60 days. The proceeds from this block of stock will be used proving these coal lands with a Diamond Drill under special contract, and In charge of competent management. It is expected that the proceeds from this first block of stock will be sufficient to put down at least three or more boreholes of 1,000 feet each. This will undoubtedly cut one or two Beams of splendid coal—then see your stock jump. Satisfactory tenders have been accepted and a contract let to the Diamond Drill Contracting Company of Spokane, Wash., for the boring and drilling operations. As an emergency, and to be absolutely on the safe side, a further block of 100,000 shares of treasury stock will be offered at 25c per share, 5c on application and 5c per month until paid, as soon as the first block has all been subscribed. Now, use your own judgment, but consider carefully what your chances are of making $85.00 on an investment of $15.00 in six months, or $1,000 on an investment of $150.00, for as sure as the sun rises and sets this stock will go to $1.00 at least as soon as the drill cuts through the seams of splendid coal that are surely there, according to all experts' reports of the highest obtainable authority, who have reported on the Queen Charlotte Islands coal measures as follows: T. R. Marshall, F.C.S., 1902; Dr. George M. Dawson, D. S., A.R.A.R.S.M., F.G.S., 1878; ' H. E. Parrish, John J. Langdale, 1867; James Deans, 1872; James Parkinson, 1888; R. W. Ellis, 1906; T. B. Cory, of the State of Washington, U. S. A., and our own expert, C. F. J. Galloway, B.Sc, who Is among the best authorities In B. C. These reports cover first the Wilson-Robinson coal fields, three miles north of this coal land; second, the Old Cowgate coal fields, almost adjoining on the west; third, the Alfred Bay coal fields on the south; and fourth, the company's own coal, all of which are positive evidence that this is one of the best coal fields on the Queen Charlotte Islands. Situate on Graham Island, Bearskin Bay, one of the best harbors in the north, at the gateway of transportation to all points of the world, and at the very doors of Queen Charlotte City; In fact, a portion of this coal underlies the townsite. No railroads to build—just lead the coal from the mines to the boats. These are facts that defy contradiction, and within five days the Diamond Drill will be on the ground and in operation. This is the only way anyone can tell how many millions of tons of coal there is in the property. All applications will be filed in order received, and only 100,000 will be sold at 15c. How many times in your life have you had a chance like this? A square deal for once at least in a stock proposition, with almost a certainty of the stock being worth $1.00 before you have made your third payment at 15c. Do not hesitate. Send in your application today. For further information call or write to the head office of the company, 506 Pacific Building, where the report of C. F. J. Galloway, B.S.C., on this coal land can be seen. His report is all that could be asked, practically saying that the coal is there beyond a doubt, with sufficient evidence in sight to warrant drilling and development work at once. Paragraph From Mr. Galloways Report "The easiest seam to prove will be the Cowgltz, as its horizon is known. I should, therefore, recommend you to put down a borebole near the eastern end of your easternmost section. At the point marked C on the map the position of this seam should be passed through at a depth of about 500 feet, the Camp Anthracite seam being probably passed through In the same hole, if it occurs at all In this locality." All promoters' stock Is to be pooled until $200,000 has been raised for the purpose of developing the mine. In conclusion, you will have the satisfaction of knowing that your money is all goinng into proving the coal is there, not into the promoters' pockets nor to pay for a dead horse of any kind, as the coal leases and titles are all paid for and clear of all encumbrances and will always be a valuable asset.

McRae & Co., Second Avenue, Prince Rupert, who are the authorized agents to receive applications and receipt for same. All cheques or money orders should be made out to them.
