DRIFTED OX TO TREASURE How fortune aided the salvors who went to the scene of the wreck of the Pacific Coast company's steamer Ramona at Cape Decision and succeeded in recovering part of the gold bullion which went down with the vessel, is told hy arrivals from the iiorlh. Diver Finch had gone down to the wreck and was brought up to the surface after an unsuccessful descent. It seemed that there was little change of recovering the treasure, for the steamer had been broken. Tbe diver went down again, when a wave caught him and threw him across the deck, landing him on the treasure. The safe and mails were not recovered. The only bullion brought up was that on which the sea cast the diver. MAY INSPECT RAINBOW William Henderson, Superintendent of Public Works. Paid Official Visit to Prince Itupert William Henderson, superintendent of the Dominion public works department In British Columbia, spent, a few days In Prince Rupen this week inspecting the work now m progiess on Digby Island. The quarantine station Is being built undei his supervision and he rushed to loo' over the situation before the work Is completed, which will be very shortly. Mr. Henderson's visit is the first he has made to Prince Rupert. He went over the townsite and was much interested in the work that was being done here. He was pleased to see that permanency marked all the civic undertakings and remarked upon the solid character of the streets.

He left this morning for Victoria, where he makes his headquarters. NAVY IS IN PORT Cruiser Rainbow Steamed Into Harbor Yesterday Afternoon After Cruise up Coast. Commander Hose Invites citizens on Board at Any Time to Inspect Vessel Through the courtesy of Commander Hose and the officers of H. M.C. S. Rainbow the public are at liberty to go on board the warship at any time during her stay in port and inspect the vessel. LOSS HAS BEEN SMALL Conclusion of Season iu Fire Wnnl- cn's Department shows Light Devastations That the loss (rom forest fires in the province of British Columbia during the past season has been practically the lightest in its history, Is the annuoncement made hy W. C. Gladwin, chief provincial fire Warden, "We have, of course,.been very fortunate this season in that: the weather has not been against us," said Mr. Gladwin. "There is another reason, however, to account for splendid record put up this season, and that Is that the force of men we have had out through the province has been considerably increased this year. This has meant much. When a fire breaks out, a few extra men can often be the means of preventing it from spreading to serious proportions. With the exception of a few routine matters which have to be attended to, the work will practically conclude for the seeason today. Heavy rains have fallen in practically every part ofthe province during the past few weeks, and the danger for another season Is at an end." o- S. C. Weeks of Kitsumkolum is In tne city. H. M. C. S. Rainbow steamed Into port yesterday afternoon, It being the first visit of the cruiser to this harbor. Last Tuesday night word was received here that the Rainbow niight be expected at any time and from that day her arrival was watched for. Commander Hose, It. N., is in command of the cruiser, having relieved Commander Stewart some months ago. The new commander is very pleased with the service here, and thinks that the system of training young recruits on board a vessel like the Rainbow should have decided advantages over the general system of training ships in the Old Land, where the boys, during their earlier service do not get the advantages of actual life at sea. Upon tlie arrival of the cruiser, .Mayor Manson went out and met the warship and extended on behalf of the city a welcome to the commander, his officers and crew. Later in the evening Commander Hose and other officers had dinner with the mayor and the government agent, J. II. McMullen, at the Prince Rupert, Inn. The warship will remain in port until Sunday morning or possibly a day later. Commander Hose announces that the cruiser will be open for inspection by tlie public al any lime during the day during the stay In port. iho slay is a short one and he accordingly will not hold to the general rule of limiting tlie hours during which the vessel may be inspected. The Rainbow has been some weeks nt Comox previous to coming here. There the orew look their annual musketry practice al the naval range that has been located there fur many years. The present cruise, the commander says, is one of their regular ones designed to give the boys in training actual sen life, While they are- not actually patrolling for fishing poachers, they are ever on the lookout to see thai no violations are being made of the International 'aw, The crew of the Rainbow Is rather under strength at present. When the full complement is aboard the crew would consist of very nearly 600. There are twenty-five recruits from Canada on board the vessel now and Commander Hose speaks In the highest terms of these western boys. They are quick and take readily to the work, he says. James McEvoy Representing Toronto Capital is More Than Satisfied With Groundhog Mountain VIEWS ON POLL TAX Ex Minister Carter Cotton Expresses Himself Upon the Question of Taxation Methods. DISMISSED BY GRAND .11 liV High Grade Anthracite Will Be Easily Worked by Tunnelling—Kail- way is Assured James .McEvoy, representing Toronto capitalists, reached the city yesterday from Groundhog Mountain 'in the Hazelton district. He left again this morning for Vancouver by the Prince Rupert on his way to Toronto. -Air. .McEvoy has had a part at work on the coal claims held by him and his eastern associates for several months. Among those interested Is G. G. S. Lindsey of Toronto, one of the best known mining investors of Canada. The result of the season's work at the property has more than ever convinced Mr. .McEvoy that his company has one of the most valuable holdings in Britisii Columbia. There has been proved to be an immense field, ne says, and with several railway projects under consideration, he says transportation is assured almost infilled iately. The fields He in the direction of the Kispiox Valley and railway construction offers no serious obstacle. During the summer ten tunnels were driven into the mountain at various points to test the deposits. These varied in length up to about fiity feet and were put in to ascertain ine exact formation so as to better carry out the permanent work which will he started. Mr. McEvoy, who is an expert in coal mining, having served for years as the expert at the Crows Nest Pass Coal Company's works, says after the season's operations that the coal has proved better than he anticipated. It is the equal of the best anthracite mined in the Pennsylvania fields and there is an immense body. The mining will be economical, as it can be worked by tunnelling without any hoist. He goes back now to report to his associates and lay out plans for the future. These measures were taken up by Mr. McEvoy many years ago, before the G. T. p. route was finally settled upon. Mr. .McEvoy was then associated with the Crows Nest Pass Company. He spent considerable time in the north looking into the various coal propositions, and located these measures at Groundhog .Mountain, which have been held by the syndicate he represented ever since. Within easy reach of Prince Rupert by rail, these coal fields will afford another excellent source of supply supplementary to thai from ; Queen Charlotte Islands. Prince Rupert is apparently to suffer nolli- ng from lack of fuel for industrial purposes as it develops and it should therefore become a most attractive oini for manufacturers. He Is Opposed to the Levy oil Per- soniil Property Also as It Is Wasting the Capital That a real property tax In unorganized districts and a developed and a graduated income tax tll.'OUghout the province should be the principal forms of government taxation, was the opinion expressed by Hon. F. L. Carter-Cotton at a sitting of the commission on taxation in Vancouver. Mr. Carter-Cotton favored the abolition of the revenue or poll tax and the tax on personal property. The former he described as an "abominable" tax, and the latter as a "tax w,.sting the actual capital of property owners." Mr. .eter-Cotton's remarks on taxation were listened to by the commission with a great deal of interest and attention. "Former commissions appointed hy the government had .a different work to perform than this one," commented Mr. Carter-Cotton. "Other taxation commissions were appointed to see in what way the government could best raise money without pressing too heavily on the people. Your duty is to report on modifications to existing legislation that may be deemed necessary. I appreciate that it is a very large question. "I may say of the revenue or poll tax that I consider it an abominable tax, and I think it should be repealed. The system when it was first put in operation was very different from that of today." Mr. Carter-Cotton then related how the poll tax had been first imposed by the government at the time of lhe Cariboo gold rush, when it had been absolutely necessary for the government to levy such a tax upon the floating population in order that roads might be constructed through to the gold country. "The poll tax is one that- at the present state of the development of the province should be done away with," added Mr. Carter-Cotton, "li is not fair or equitable, nor do 1 know of any other part of the British Empire where it is imposed. The manner of collecting this tax is also objectionable." o BITTING JUNES The grand jury found "no bill" in the ease of .Messrs. W. Houston and 0. J. V. Spratt of the Victoria Machinery Depot, Victoria, accused of ■eiaining unlawfully certain stores, lie property of the admiralty, know- ng them to have been stolen. This disposes of the case which has been going on since April last, in which Frederick Bullock, alias Alfred Bul- ock, a former employee of the Victoria Machinery Depot who was ■harked with stealing canvas from he works, a charge afterwards with- Irawn, gave certain information to 3ommander Vivian, R. n., of the 1. .M. S. Shearwater, when he returned from South America on May 1, with the result that seizures of goods, alleged to have been stolen from the admiralty, were made. While the preliminary hearing was under way Bullock was arrested on a charge of attempting extortion from A. J. Bech- tel of the Victoria Machinery Depot. This case has not yet been disposed of.

The administration of Chinese im migration affairs in Canada has ber along the shores passed from the hands of the Dominion department of trade and com merce to the Immigration branch of the interior. For many years the former department—the customs of Canada—controlled Chinese immigration traffic and the decision to transfer this business to the department of the interior followed revelations of laxity made at sittings of the commission ef entiie',y Into Chinese .immigration held al Vancouver und Victoria some months ago. The immediate results of the transfer of administration was the appearance in Vancouver of Dr. P. II. Bryce, Dominion medical heal 'i officer, and L. M.

Tlie New Hazelton campaign has started. For the next few months the very best efforts of some of the greatest advertising men and real estate firms in Britisii Columbia will be devoted to Boosting New Hazelton. The different interests have combined to make this town one of the foremost in the province. A careful study has been made by experts and they are all agreed that there cannot be too much boosting. The natural resources are Here and they are now heing developed In a way heretofore unknown. Everything is now on the move. Mining has this week had a stimulation that was not dreamed of. During the two previous weeks several big deals were put through which meant the bringing in of mining men known the world o\ er. Agriculture has been very successful this j'ear and the farmers have had bigger crops than ever. They are all getting on their feet and buying machinery as fast as it can he brought into the country. Tliis week Charles S. Meek, president of Standard Securities, Ltd., Vancouver was in town and completed arrangements with the sur- wn $10 a Month veyors to Uvy out his company's -property. This work has already been started and it will be finished in another ten days. It is on the Northern Interior Land Co.'s property that so many of the old Hazelton business men have purchased lots and are prepared to build, many this fall. It is from this point that the business section will start and grow, and where high values will prevail. There will be the one town instead of several as might have been. This means a great deal; in fact, many hundreds of dollars to the people of tlie old town, who have been wondering where the town would be.

PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL THE COSTLIEST OF FURS Sl- Furs in ^anada are today becoming prohibitive in price. Consequently none but the wealthy can afford to wear any of the genuine and more rare of our Canadian varieties. Still they appear but paltry in price, when compared with some of the Russian variety. Discussing this, the Weekly Telegram says: "The fur dealers of Irbolt have decided to request the prime minister to prohibit the catching of sables for two years, being convinced that only by this means can the extinction of the sable be obviated. To the many who are Interested in tne fur trade, the fate of the sable is a matter of very great importance. Sable, Arctic fox, etc., are becoming scarcer every year owing to their Indiscriminate destruction in various fur producing districts in the effort to supply the American market. The Arctic fox is disappearing throughout the north of Siberia, and the sable has already been exterminated in certain districts. At the Yakutsk fur market last year this tendency was clearly shown, as there were only 200 sables for sale, against 5,000 in the previous year. "Of all furs, no other, except perhaps it may be silver fox. has as great a money value as Russian sable. There are many grades of the fur, depending on the color, softness, etc. The best of all, the Russian Imperial sable, it is said by connoisseurs 'makes the lighter shades look cheap and tawdry.' "The superfine quality used to be reserved for the imperial family. Foreigners were rarely or never able to obtain much of it, unless, perchance, presents were made, by some of the members of the court to the sotirts of other nations, and members of our own royal family have acquired some excellent garments of this much desired fur, possibly in tlie way indicated,-for our royal family, as most readers know, is closely allied with that of Russia; and besides, custom makes resent giving between sovereigns a matter of some consequence. "It was not so very long ago, indeed, that the bestowing of a Russian sable garment was regarded as a mark of distinct favor accorded outside the royal circles to very great favorites and highly esteemer persons. "How valuable this fur is may be judged from the fact that a sum of $7,500 was recently paid for a sable and seal coat; but tnat sum, great as it is, would he regarded as comparatively small by a Russian grand duchess, for there are many coats of this material which are worth considerably more. Indeed, in America, wliere the women are almost more luxurious than in any other country, Russian sable is being obtained in a remarkable way, for the old stringency has been relaxed and this fur, so highly prized, is finding its way across the Atlantic in obedience to the magnetic attraction of money. "One of the Imperial Russian skins will cost between ?400 and ?500, and as sable is a small animal about tlie size of a weasel, it is easy to see how the money must go in the production of a coat of this material. A sable cloak has been made In New York which cost $15,000, and there is another cloak of Imperial Russian sable in France at the present time which is said to be worth $60,000. "The value of Russian sable is so great that, naturally attempts have been made to counterfeit.lt. The consequence of this is that there is a good deal of the so-called Imperial sable to be found on certain markets, but ii is really of an inferior quality, which Is light in color bul dyed so remarkably that it would deceive anyone except an expert. Like many other 'fakes,' these Imitations soon fade, and thus betray themselves. "Hudson Hay also furnishes sable. bul it is not nearly so good as the Ruii«lan variety cither In color or in quality and tlie best. Hudson Bay sable makes a poor show by the side of the best Imperial Russian, which is a soft, rich brown aim exceedingly fine, while the Hudson Bay variety- has a tinge of red In It, and even at Its best Is rather coarser than tlie other. "After Russian sable the next most valuable fur in the world Is probably the silver fox, one of whose skins, if of fine quality, is worth between $.,000 and $1,500, but as it Is about three times the size of a sable the two furs are prpctically of about the same value. Silver fox is, however, chiefly used for trimmings, so that it really does not encroach on the domain of the sable, which Is the imperial ruler of all the furs with which heauntiful women decorate themselves." and District—District of Skeeni Land District—District of Queen Charlotte Queen Charlotte TAKE NOTICE that thirty days!

The visit lo this harbor is the fir.-: thai has been made and for the flrsl time we have 'en our streets the men of the Canadian navy. The cruiser is essentially a training ship where Canadians may acquire their knowledge of naval service and play their pari in the defence of Empire. In n new country like this, with the many Inducements In oilier directions, recruiting will of necessity be a little difficult, There have been, however, twenty-five enlistments for the senii-e and it is safe to predict that they will do honor to the service. The navy has always been the especial pride of the Britisii people and as long as recourse must be had to force In the settlement of international disputes and the maintenance of peace It must hold its firm place in the affections of the people of the Empire. The Rainbow brought with her from Britain the nucleus of a crew, or about 200 men. The hope has been to recruit up to the strength by adding another third of the complement necessary from young Canadians, The boys who enlist will have the advantage of training under what we are proud to claim as ihe best naval force in the world, the British navy. Our Canadians trained under the "sea dogs" of the Imperial force should lack nothing when compared with them. We are voicing bul the general sentiment of the city when we extend a hearty Canadian welcome to the officers and men of tbe Rainbow. Aside from Prince Rupert, the extreme western terminus, the most promising point on tne G. T. P. western division seems to be New Hazel- ion. It is well said that the prosperity of every city is due to its geographical position. That being the case, New Hazelton will some day be one of the greatest cities of Western Canada, says the Inland Colonist. The townsite Is on a straight, level grade of the railway, and is not far from the confluence of the Bull-ley and Skeena Rivers. It is also on the governmenl wagon road which runs (rom Hazelton out in the Bulkley Valley, When the railroad is completed New Hazelton will be the natural distributing centre for whole of Incidental to the war between tae district.

WRESTLING CHAMPIONSHIP The wrestling excitement is over and the championship seems destined io remain in this country, for many years. Doubtless the thoughts of that $S7,000 "gate" at the Comlskey Park, Chicago, on September 4 lasl, will impel wike-awake managers aud promoters to scour the highways and byways of the world in tiie hope of scaring up a worthy opponent for Frank Gotch. Already he has been challenged on behalf of the big Pole, Zbyszko, and in all likelihood the startling news will be forthcoming after a while that a bulging Bulgarian with a seventy-two inch chest and arms and legs in proportion has been located somewhere in his native land or that the very latest thing in Turks is coming to this country to put the smiling gentleman from Humboldt to rout. But what will it all avail? The public has sense enough to know that worth while wrestlers are nol. discovered weekly. They are not .unearthed as pigs unearth truffes. Wrestling, more than any other form of athletics, requires especial talent and much schooling and practice before proficiency is reached, and, such being the case, it will be to laugh when the plague of outlandish hip and thigh specialists sets in. That there will be such a plague is thought to he inevitable. The best way to figure the chances of any unknown wrestler in a match with Gotch is to reflect on what happened fo Hackenschmidt. Here was a man acknowledged to be the superior of all the Turks and Poles and Mohemmedans that ever clutched a neck or grappled for a leg hold. While hiding his time until Gotch should agree to meet him a second time, he went around the .country tossing all the champions of far lands with ridiculous ease. The Russian lion's roar had been heard all over the universe, from Si.. Petersburg to Botan- Bay, and whenever it wns heard the men of the mat ■tumbled, Yet, in the hands of Gotch, the supposed czar of the wrestling kingdom was as helpless as a trussed turkey in the hands of a chef. So helpless, indeed, that in the larget of the slangsters, -The show was rotten." Had il been ordained that Gotch instead of Hackenschmidt was to lose after such a wretched display, the public would have felt toward wrestling as ii did towards boxing when fear-shaken Jeffries collapsed at Reno.

Captain Neroutsos, the former skipper, who has been given a position in port with Captain Troup, has left the vessel and Captain Locke has been assigned to the command. Captain Douglas Robertson he- comes the master of the Princess Beatrice. He has had many years service with the C. P. It. and is well qualified to take the new command. Captain McLeod will remain with the Princess .May as formerly. h POST FOR (APT. NEROUTSOS A circular Issued under date of September 28 by the C. P. R, announces the appointment of Captain Cyril D. Neroutsos, for some time past master of the Princess Royal as marine Superintendent of the C. P. R. coast steamship service under Captain .1. W. Troup, manager of me coast service. Captain Neroutsos took tiie the duties of his new post on October .1. He will look after the general routine of the fleet management and report lo Captain J. W. Troup. The new appointment will result in -giving Captain J. VV. Troup more time to attend^to the higher duties in connection with the mamigemen of the Britisii Columbia coast steam ship servir-e. With tile growth of population and Increasing shipping development the necessity of increasing the fleet demands his attention in tlie matter of preparing plans for vessels to cope with the growing trade. The fleet of the C. P. R. on this coast has now grown to a considerable extent and more steamers are in prospect. The Princess Alice is en route and another vessel Is under const ruction at the yards of Bow, McLachlan & Co. Captain Neroutsas who has been appointed to assist Captain Troup, came to Victoria in 180S. He was chief officer of the steamer Gar- ronne, which was bought out hy F. tVaterhouse to run to St. Michael at the time of the Klondike rush and has since been In the C. P. R. service as chief officer, pilot, and for ►some years past as master, his last command being the steamer Princess Royal in the Skagway service. " (IT RATES After a lively freight war on the trans-Pacific route the various steamship companies have got together and an agreement has been effected to restores the rates that were reduced on wheat and flour at the beginning of next year. The rates were cut by the Nippon Yusen Kaisha following reductions made by Japanese tramp steamers whir-lr entered the trade some time ago. Every liner operating in the service to tire Orie'irl is booked witli freight to practically full Capacity until January 1 and there is every indication thai all exporl records for any similar period of time will be broken this fall. While the business generally increases in the fall, it is due largely ter tire reduction of the flour and wheat rate that the heaviest shipments in ye-ars are in view. It is estimated that more than 1,000,000 barrels or flour will he shipped from the Puget Sound and Columbia River this fall. Every steamship line lias already booked all of tilt- tlOUl' it will Ire able to handle between now and January 1. and so great have been those bookings the trans-Paclflc freight bureau has decided to agree again, arid, be- gining January I, the rate on wheat anel flour will be raised, though now brought back to the former rate. The Increase of 60 cents and beginning January l. Hie- freight will be as follows: To Japan ports, $2.60; to Hongkong, $3; to Shanghai, $3.50, and to .Manilla,$•!. After a long sedge of rale i-iilling the trans-Pacific freight bureau was formed and a rate schedule established more than a year ago. Tilings were peaceful until it was found that one of the lines met the cut, and the bureau was practically disrupted. A conference w-as held last week, however, and things were amicably adjusted, resulting in the agreement to conform to a regular scheduled rate beginning January 1. In the meantime the companies have booked all the flour they can possibly handle and every steamer leaving Vancouver will carry a capacity cargo. Company, Ltd. This componey operates the Venture and Vadso, and Its business will be carried on as hither, to, hut will be developed as opportunities present. The Union Steamship Company will operate the steamers, but John Barnsley, who has been so long identified with the Boscowitz Company, will remain with the concern, and also become Victoria agent for the Union Steamship Company. The new steamer Chelsohin, which has just completed trials at Belfast, and is about to leave for Vancouver, will probably join the Venture on the cannery routes. A meeting of the board of directors of the Union Steamship Company was held recently, and Mr. Welsford was elected president; .Mr. Carter-Cotton, chairman of the hoard of directors, and .Messrs. E. II. Heas- ley and .1. II. Wrlgley joint managers. G. T. Legg resigned as managing director. RECORD OF Ll'SITANIA Tlie Crinard liner Lusitania recently crossed the Atlantic between New York and Liverpool three times in three weeks. On the first trip the speedy greyhound met a tramp steamship bound from -New York for Liverpool. The Lusitania on its return trlii overtook the same vessel, and on its next trip to New York met the tramp again. On the last trip from New York the Lusitania arrived at Liverpool about 9 o'clock Saturday morning, September 9. Between then and the afternoon of Monday, September 11, the Lusitania discharged 1,000 tons of freight, loaded 1,000 tons of coal, 700,000 gallons of water, provisions for the trip, and had more than 40,000 pieces of linen laundered. In coaling the ship fuel was taken from forty barges and 500 men were on the job, working continuously until it was finished. The cargo taken out of the Lusitania had made three trips across the Atlantic, the strike having prevented its discharge. o G.T.P.

Nines and Mining LOST EMERALD MINES FOUND Discovery of What Was Main Source of Production for Mirny Years The continued increase in the value of emeralds during the last ten years, until at present they outrank diamonds, lends considerable interest to the recent rediscovery of one of the old Indian emerald mines in Hie South American Andes wliich was lost for over a century. The real emeralds as distinguished from Siberian stones, which are not at all comparable In beauty to the South American gems, are entirely produced from one mining dislrict called AIuzo, in the Republic of Colombia, in South America. The gem was mined by the native Indians for centuries previous to the discovery and conquest of the plateau of Ilogota in the Andes, and the Indians operated their mines, widely separated geographically, named Alu- zo, Cosquez and Somondoco. About 1865, under Captain Pedro de Valenzuela, the Spanish conquis- tadores took over the mines, enslaved the native Indians, and compelled them to work the mines. So eager were the Spaniards to get rich quickly that atrocious cruelties were practiced on the Indian workers, and this was carried so far that finally the priests complained to the crown (the king of Spain) that the innumerable deaths of the Indians employed in the mines adversely affected the ecclesiastical revenues. This resulted in the importation of African negroes, but eventually the mines were closed. During the war of independence, .in IS 1G, and later, the whole region was so desolated that two of the mines, Cosquez and Somondoco, were entirely lost, and Muzo has produced all the gems since that time. It has been prolific, but the out- p it has been steadily declining dtir- in.,' the past ten years, and according to the very best information the ultimate practical abandonment must cinie in the ne er future unless new - us are unc- ■ .-ad which :-■ il ;td Improbable by the English engineers formerly in charge of the workings Captain »S.

MINERAL WEALTH Immense Bearing Area fs Discovered Near Fori George ■A mineral discovery of the very first importance is reported from the near neighborhood of Fort George, from wliich point F. G. D. Dernford, a notable geologist who also represented the Dominion government in the negotiations resulting in the recent transfer of the Fort George Indian reserve to the Grand Trunk Pacific has just found his way to Victoria. The discovery is one of a peculiar free milling gold quartz, allegedly existing in immense body only three or four miles to the west of Fort George town. Numerous prospectors have been gophering in this territory for months past but it was not until Ihe arrival on the scene of Mr. Dernford lhat the true value of tiro country from the standpoint of ils mineral wealth was appreciated. Mr. Dernford, while quietly waiting for the reserve transfer negotiations to reach a conclusion, devoted himself assiduously to a study of the geology of the country, with tbe resuii thai be became convinced of its very remarkable worth, and ultl- mately secured possession <>t" the mineral rights in aboul 5,000 acres which he is confident will eventually eclipse even Hie- greal Treadwell as a mineral pi'ieiiiie-ing area, The mineralization is in whai is geologically known ns Huronian rock, generally composed erf ii green schist and slale Impregnated with quartzlte stringers, in which Btrlngers the large values are found, although the green Bchlsl itself gives assays of about 50 cents to ihe ton, The mineral bearing rrea is an Immense one and tire riiiaitz would be mosl economically mined as a large "glory hole" or open quarrying proposition, ' So enthusiastic is Mr, Dernford as to the possibilities of the district that his predictions for It would undoubtedly be taken for the hysterical va- porlngs of an over-enthusiastic prospector but for the fact that he occupies an unassailable position as a geologist throughout the scientific world.

New British Columbia As a result of a 1,200 mile jour- new through tlie central regions of British Columbia, from Tete Jaune Cache pas1 Foil George to Pvitico Rupert Fred A. Talbot undertakes in the United Empire Alagazine for September to give a brief description of this newer part of the province and estimate the future of what he considers will become one of the chief agricultural regions of the west, especially with respect to mixed farming and market gardening. Particularly does he dwell on the promise of tire Nechaco Valley, stretching nortli 100 mile's from Fort George, which, within five years, lie says, will be a name to conjure with In regard to fertility. Already there are evidences of its amazing productivity, tire valley having been well prepared for man's use, since tire whole of tlie country there in clays long distant had been the bed of an Immense lake. Having been burnt over in tlie remote past, the land is easily cleared. Nothing, from Air. Talbot's observations, is impossible for the farmer there. > Ground fruits thrive in abundance, and there are hopes Ural tree fruits, such as apples, plums cherries and such like will in time be found profitable culture. Northwest of tire Nechaco Valley is the Bulkley Valley, also an agricultural region of promise, the land being a replica of that found In the Nechaco. Air. Talbot gives instances of high yields in vegetables, oats and hay, mentioning particularly the Mclnnes ranch, with its 1,000 acres under cultivation. Tire Grand Trunk Pacific wil soon be serving these pioneers. A market for -the products of their farms will be found in the Coast cities and along the lines of railways under construction. These ranchers were wise in their day and generation when they declared reciprocity. Now their hay and oats will not have to meet the competition of Washington State in the markets of Vancouver and Victoria, and aided by this home market they will develop accordingly and become heavy purchasers of the manufactured products of the industrial section; of lhe province. Beyond the Nechaco valley and Fort Fraser, its northern limit, there commences on the eastern slope of the Cascades another rich belt, which stretches through the Ootsa, Francois, Fraser and Stuart Lakes country. Beyond Stuart Lake this country converges in the Peace River district. The land around all these lakes is described as a series of flat level benches rising gradually from the water's edge to the crest of the hills. Tire low lying areas, Mr. Tal- bo. states, are suited for cultivation to approximately the 3,500 contour line; above the latter limit they provide magnificent grazing country. Here is where the Japanese chinook wind, blowing through a great rift in the Cascades, moderates the climate, and adds, by the melting of the snow through the winter, to the productivity of the soil. The land is easily worked, we are told, and the yields of vegetables enormous, reference being made to farmers' assertions that, a crop of potatoes yielding a profit of $1,000 an acre has been taken off new fields. Fort George, this observant traveller slates, is destined to become the metropolis of Now Britisii Columbia. It will lie a railway junction town, the point of convergence for lines south to Vancouver, west to Prince Itupert and east to Alberta, while it is tlie key for a waterways system that is over 1,000 miles In extent, steamboats being already in service ne Teie- Jaune Cache 320 miles, soulh on the Fraser to Soda Creek, 150 miles, and up the Nechaco River lo Stnarl I.aire, Fraser Lake and Fran- cols Lake. Mr, Talbot's i tlmate of this new region of greal agricultural possibilities which has in the past been con- il . unsr ne'il to economical de- ■ ij enl exr epl posslblj to the mining Industry, is thai the resout i of Southei n British Columbia, much ai the developed area has proved wealthy und highly productive, are in significant i:i comparison witli that which is to lie' found farther north; thai the territory of this inland empire possessed of the greatest potential wealth, has been overlooked far- too long. Bul with the advent or railways there are signs of a rapid awakening, lie ailds, with a tor- ward movement, unparalleled in the history of the province. SAWMILL AT ALBERNI Company Is Preparing to Erect Modern Plant at Cost of $e)0,<)00 A sawmill with a cutting capacity of 75,000 feet per day is to be established by the Canadian Pacific Lumber Company in Port Alberni, says the Alberni Pioneer Press. The machinery is under order and will begin to arrive within three weeks. Twenty experienced millwrights and a staff of helpers will arrive with the first Installment, and work will be prosecuted vigorously in order lo have tlie new mill in operation before the first of February next. A shingle far-terry, witli tliree machines, will also be operated by the same company. This announcement is on tlie au- thorlty of It. W. Gibson, who is associated with Al. Carlin and Thos. .Meredith in control of the big manufacturing concern which operates big mills at Port Aloody and Vancouver, and recently acquired the Barclay | Sound eedar mills in this town. The present Barclay Sound mill which Is slightly out of date, will ire almost entirely removed. The planl and buildings will cost the company $i50,000. When the mill is in operation, running a single ten-hour shift, per day, its pay roll will amount to $S,000 per month. In addition to this there will be paid out for logging operations in the Immediate district $12,000 per month. If the demand calls for it the mil will be run on double shift, doubling the town pay roll. The Canadian Pacific Company has a ready market for the output of its Port Aloody and Vancouver mills, and is assured of a market for the proposed additional output in Port Alberni. "We will cater particularly to the local trade," said Air. Gibson, "and the surplus of our output will go with the products of our other mills. ' There is no shingle mill attached to the company's plant in Vancouver, and shingles for the Vancouver trade are to be manufactured In Port Alberni. The Vancouver mill has a sash and door factory, and part of the output of this will be shipped to Port Alberni and stocked by the company there.

Borden, who has been chosen by the people as the next premier of Canada, has pledged himself that on the question of better terms tor British Columbia he will appoint a commission, or some sort of enquiry to look into the financial relationship now existing between the Dominion and the Province." This was the statement of Hon. W. J. Bowser, attorney general of Britisii Columbia, during the course of au Interview In which lie said that the return of the Conservative party to power in Dominion affairs meant that in the matter of public works aird other relations with the Federal government this province was now assured of a "square deal." Ownership of Railway Belt "Incidentally," said the attorney general, "this fair dealing will apply in the matter of the ownership of the Britisii Columbia Railway Belt. As you know, 1 went to Ottawa before going to England and while at tiie Dominion capital I took up this question, among others, with the Federal government. The question involves the purchasing of the land within the belt by the province from the Dominion. We desire to get away from the anomalous position of two jurisdictions within the province. Al present the exercise of authority by two governments within the province leads at time to conflict. This is shown in the difficult of administering the water rights flowing from one jurisdiction to the other. The result is that, settlement is retarded within the railway belt and in the country contiguous to it, and we do not wish to have anything stand in the way of the development of Britisii Columbia. There is no quesj tlon but that British Columbia should have sole jurisdiction over all the territory within her borders. This question will, no doubt, be taken into consideration by the Conservative Dominion government when the greater matter of better terms is dealt with. The land within the railway belt, which extends clear across Britisii Columbia along the main line of the C. P. R., was given by this province to the Dominion to assist them In lhe construction of tlie railway in the province. Other Important Questions "Other questions relating to fisheries and Indian reservations the provincial government has been pressing on the Dominion Government for years but witnout much encouragement as to the settling of them. Now, however, instead of being received with what might be termed cold respect, we will at least be met on a business basis and we will be able to negotiate with Ottawa along lines favorable to settlement. "This same suggestion might apply to the matter of the Point Grey University site, as to which the Liberal government at Ottawa advanced a claim of ownership on the allegation that it was a military reserve and as such the property of the Dominion. Altogether, 477 acres are claimed. The provincial government Is now making enquiries into the matter at tlie war office In London, and securing copies of all documents bearing on the subject; in fact, are delving into ancient history." "Do you think the return of the Conservatives to power at Ottawa will resull in a greater Federal expenditure on public works in this province than has been the case In the past?" Hon. Mr, Bowser was asked. , ( Construction of Wharves "In discussing the mutter of Federal public works in this province, I might mention thai there is no responsibility on the pari of the provincial government under the terms of Confederation to build wharves along our coast. We have thousands of tulles of coasl line und no convenience in the shape of wharves have been provided by the Dominion within the pas! fifteen years, during which time the developmenl or the coast has been tremendous, The provincial governmenl has expended many thousands of dollars in the provision of these facilities which the Dominion government should have erected and has consistently pressed claims at Ottawa for repayment of the moneys spent, but these claims were not entertained. In contradistinction to this treatment, the Dominion government always seemed to have plenty of money to build wharves in New Brunswick at points which could never be reached by boats. "Owing to the attitude of the Dominion government In such matter tlie provincial government has also been put to great expense for the protection of river banks in this province. Notably has this been the ease on the Columbia River at Revelstoke and on the Fraser River, where many thousands of dollars were spent on works to protect the banks of the streams from the encroachment of the waters. Under Conservative rule at Ottawa better treatment will be accorded Britisii Columbia." o PRICES ADVANCE United Slates Hn.s Increased Tuxn- ation Put Upon Foodstuffs Following Canada's Election "While Canada is rejoicing over the defeat of reciprocity, which has already served to stimulate business locally in many lines," said Ihe News- Advertiser in its financial age a few days ago, "and the general feeling is one of satisfaction at tlie outcome, a close perusal of the telegraphic dispatches published, regularly In the News-Advertiser on this page brings out the fact thai foodstuffs rose sharply In price in all American supply centres during the past three winking days, as an effect of the Canadian reciprocity refusal. In Chicago wheat led the advance on Friday, and was followed late In the same day by flour, and oats, loo, felt the effects of the vote, and American consumers may expect soon to pay increased" prices for breakfast foods. The initial meal of tlie day, in fact,, seems destined to bear the brunt of the higher living costs, coffee and sugar having soared previously, "The greatest advance in wheat, however, due to the Canadaion reply to American reciprocity overtures, was recorded at Duluth, Minn, There traders were paying as high as 8 cents a bushel more for grain than before reciprocity was rejected. Alin- neapolis showed a maximum net advance of 6 cents, paying $1.07 1-2 for this month's delivery. Increases of less sensational character were recorded at Kansas City, St. Louis, Omaha and Chicago, and immense stocks of grain in the elevators in tne latter place acted as a check to advanced prices, wheat going up, however, about 3 cents within 24 ..ours. In Seattle prices stiffened In sympathy with Chicago, and was aided materially in the fact that the heavy demand for flour in the Orient had already created a brisk market in Seattle, and every steamer is tak,- ing great quantities of flour, tteci- procity's rejection is not the only cause that has sent prices upwards in the neighboring market, for the tendency was upwards even while it was expected that reciprocity would carry. Receipts of wheat are unusually heavy. So pressing is the demand for flour from China and Japan that Seattle millers are now booking orders for deliveries as far distant as January. Every mill on Puget Sound Iras sold practically all the i.our it can produce during the next inree months, and millers are now booking orders for delivery next year. There is some satisfaction for Canadians in this, however, when it is taken into account that this side of the boundary will benefit likewise hy such large demand in the Orient, for it is generally known among trade circles that Canadian flour is a large factor in making up these orders for the Oriental trade, because the American miller repacks the Canadian product into sacks bearing his own U. S. A. mark, and the Canadian producer stands by Idly caring little for national advertisement so long as he finds a market for his goods." o MAKING ...ii PEACE The New York Herald's financial correspondent in Paris says it will take Germany years to recover from the Moroccan war scare. He writes: "For many years tlie economic evolution of German and the great expansion of her commerce and Industry have forced her to have ever grr ater recourse to credit. "The military power of tiro Empire, ii must be admitted, lias facilitated t Iris. Foreign money has pouied in from all sides, especially from England and still more from Prance, to German banks, where ii was at once employed al very remu- ii'iiil ive rates of interest. "At the presenut moment German megalomania Iras put Europe within a hair's breadth of a universal war, ine consequences of which would be Incalculable. The Berlin Bourse took fright, savings hank depositors lost their heads and rushed to oftain repayment. It is not unnatural that in these conditions foreign countries should act in the same manner and call In the capital they have invested In Germany. "The movement in this sense is general and the German market will have to face demands for repayment; not. only from London and Paris, but also from St. Petersburg, Vienna and even Peru." Here is another proof of the essential truth of Norman Angell's dictum that the time has come when no nation can afford to go to war. Science and commerce between them will ere ong permanently retire tlie war lord.

UNION OF CHURCHES Presbyterians Will Soon Vote on the Proposition of Uniting Forces. Methodist! Will and Congregatlonallsts Also Take Steps to (let Opinion Ballots are now in tlie printers' hands, to be sent to tlie Presbyterian membership throughout the Dominion in order io obtain their decision on tlie question of union with tlie Methodist and Congregational Churches, says tire Toronto Globe. There will be sent to every Presbyterian family in Canada, tire number being about 160,000, a sixteen- page pamphlet giving a history of tbe union' negotiations and the basis as approved by the General Assembly. The ballots will accompany the pamphlets, and they will be issued as soon as possible in October. Separate colors are being used for the ballots lo be used by the elders, the members other than elders, and the adherents, Hie respective colors being blue, white and red. Ten thousand is the number to be sent out to elders, three hundred thousand to the membership, and about 20 per cent of this number, or sixty thousand, wil' be sent to adherents, to ask whether they concur, although the.r vote would not affect the result apart from that of the membership of the Church either way. Every congregation will be expected to ballot on the Church union question before Alarch 15. Each congregation will report then to the clerk of its presbytery, and the presbytery clerks, about seventy in number, will collate these returns and send them, before Alarch 25, to the clerk of the General Assembly and the secretary of the Union committee, wha will, in turn, report to the General Assembly at its meeting in June. The Union Committee appointed by the General Assembly consists of Rev. Dr. Patrick of Winnipeg, chairman; Rev. E. D. McLaren, secretary; Rev. R. P. MacKay,moderator; and the clerks, Rev. Dr. Campbell of ..rontreal and Rev. Dr. John Somer- ville of Toronto. Dr. Patrick is at present In the old country, very ill. Dr. McLaren recently removed to Vancouver, on relinquishing his work at home mission secretary. The ballots will contain two plain questions: "Are you in favor of union with the Methodist and Congregational Churches?" and, "Do you favor the proposed basis of union?" Any congregation or session of members is at liberty to make any sug- gestlon as to improvement in the basis of union; these suggestions will be reported to tlie clerk of the rpes- bytery, to be submitted to the committee to consider revision of the basis before final adoption. The Congregatlonallsts have already voted on tlie basis in their congregations, about 80 per cent having de.dared in favor of the basis out of the whole number voting, which w*as aoout half the entire membership of the denomination. The Alethodist General Conference left the matter of submission to the people In the hands of the General Conference Serial Committee, wliich acts as an executive in tlie interval between the quadrrenial sessions of the conference. The General Conference, the Annual Conferences and the District .Meetings have declared their position, so thai il now rests with the Quarterly Official Boards and the members of the congregations lo signify.their will ill the matter. Tbe spor in] committee will meet on October 18, Immediately following the close of the Ecumenical Conference, and this will be one of the chief Items of business to come be- t'oi'i It, though other Importanl questions will also have io be decided. owing t.r the difficulty of getting ' opes of the basis Into the bands of : embership before the November meetings of tbe official boards of ' ' hurches, the boards will probably nol deal with the question till the February meeting. Tlie general conference special committee will therefore probably deride to ask the official boards to make their decision not later than their February meeting. Then tbe vote of tire membership may be taken between February and May. The report of both the official board vole and the members' vote will be sent on by the circuit secretaries to'Hie lay district meetings, wliich will collate tbe votes and send them to the annual conferences, meeting in June. The conference secretaries will in turn forward the result to Rev. Dr. T. A. Moore, secretary of the. general conference, and another meeting of tire committee will likely be held aboul this time next year to take final action. PEACE UNATTAINABLE German Vice Admiral Has Faith in Internationa] Arbitration Attic Vice Admiral con Ahleteld, retired, discussed in the Deutsche Revue the question of "World Peace." The last two German chancellors, Prince Bur- low and Dr. von Bethmann Hollweg, have, he says, declared with all the emphasis which their official responsibility places at their disposal that disarmament, an international court or orbatration, and world peace, are very fine things, but that they are practically unattainable. We who have always maintained that there can be no international court of arbitration, he declares, triumph doubly; firstly, because the German chancellors have not only foreseen tnat is right, but have had the courage to express their opinion openly, and in spite of the great crowd of hopeful friends of peace. We e'onsider, he adds, that this is a sure sign that German foreign politics are directed with sound understanding and form courage. When a country wishes to avoid war, says the writer, it will endeavor to do so, but when it does not cherish this wish it will send no delegates or will instruct its commissioners iu accordance with its intentions; in other words: "Nothing has been changed or improved in regard to tiie prospects of eternal peace ei- e...eir by the Anglo-American so-called arbitration treaty'or by President Taft's latest circular, and least of all by the expressive but empty appeal of German-Americans to us, their compatriots." Vice Admiral von Ahlefeld also points out that Sir Edward Grey's peace speech in the House of Commons on Alarch 13 last, was received with extraordinary rejoicing, but that in the first place the British minister declared that the way to the court of arbitration was very long, and in the second place he acquisced in a naval programme of unparalleled size. In opposition to Air. Carnegie, the writer contends that wars, though they appear at the moment to be harmful and painful, like operations on sick persons, are nevertheless useful and salutary to mankind when their effect is considered only from the higher nistorcal point of view. He refrains from quoting the reasons advanced by men such as Kant, Nelson, Aloltke and Ruskin for the usefulness and necessity of wars, and wishes only to repeat that wars, that is, just wars as dislntguished from those waged from personal malignity or from the mere lust of conquest, have often prompted culture or at least civilization, and certainly the perfection of the human race. Civllza- tion, like wheat, grows best, he said, on ground that has been ploughed; that is to say, on ground that has been forcibly freed of all wild growing plants and that has been manured. Air. Carnegie's "Fifty million dollar peace fund," he declares to be an action directed against the promotion of the perfection of the human race, and "we are sorry for him that he should have committed such a mistake." The vice admiral concludes his ariicle as follows: "According to natural laws only the weaker and inferior will and must go down. That this is so is salutary from the oint of view of tire perfection of the human race, and who the weaker is can be determined only by war, never by a court of arbitration. People who are well acquainted witli the African hunting grounds assure us that game thrives best when il grows up with bests of prey. As soon, however, as over-wise man kills off lhe predatory animals for Hie sake of eternal peace the high class game also disappears. In this case, too, nature teaches that fighting ennobles while peace leads to degeneration. Our view is therefore expressed ;n a few words: Comprehensive world courts of arbitration are an absolute Impossibility; if they were possible they would not give' us world , '-ih <• and ii they gavi' us world peace it would l e n mls'ortune for tho ;" i tec- tlon of the human race." o A negro back in Kansas City joined air athletic club and In time became so proficient in boxing Hint | lie decided to quit barbering and lake to the prize ring. His first nrach was against a shifty black who had won many a good match In the ring. At the tap of the gong the black professional planted a straight left on the amateur's nose. Again and again the professional rained blows—left uppercuts, right hooks, straight lefts, and every one of them landing on the yellow amateur's nose. By a superhuman effort the yel- lew barber came to a clinch, and his voice rang high in agonized protect: "Scattah yo' blows, niggah!" he demanded. "Fo' Gawd's sake, scnt- talr yo' blows!" ULTIMATUM SENT The Final Note That Resulted in Hostilities Between Italy and Turkey. Italian .Minister' Sent Statement Situation Regarding; Tripoli of Previous to hostilties the Italian minister of foreign affairs, Marquis Di San Giuliano, addressed to the Italian charge d'affaires at Constantinople, Signor di Alartino, a note which said: "During a long series of years the government of Italy never ceased to make representations to tlie Porte on the absolute necessity of correcting the state of disorder to which the government of Turkey has abandoned Tripoli and Cyrene. These regions should be admitted to the benefits ol* the progress realized by other parts of the .Mediterranean and Africa. "The transformation, which is Imposed by the general exigencies of civilization, constitutes for Italy a vital interest of the first order, by reason of the slight distance separating these countries from the coasts of Italy. Notwithstanding the moderation and patience shown by the government of Italy, its views concerning Tripoli have been badly received by the imperial government, but more than that, all enterprises on tlie part of Italians in the regions mentioned has been systematically opposed and unjustly crushed. "The imperial government, which, to the present time, has shown constant hostility toward all legitimate activity in Tripoli and Cyrene, has by an act in the last hour proposed to the royal government to come to an agreement, and has declared itself disposed to accord all economic concessions compatible with the treaties in force and in accordance with the dignity and superior interests of Turkey; but the royal government does not believe in measures taken at this hour which resemble the negotiations of which it has had experience in the past, which have demonstrated from their futility and which, remote from constituting a guaranty for the future, would be themselves permanent causes of disagreement and conflict. "The royal government has received from its consular agents in ii-ipoli and Cyrene information that tne situation is extremely grave, because of the agitation prevailing against Italian subjects and which is incited in evident, fashion by officers and other functionaries of authority. "This agitation constitutes an immediate danger, not only to Italian subjects, but to l'roeigners of all nationalities, which requires them, for their own safety, to embark and leave Tripoli without delay. 'The arrival at Tripoli of Ottoman transports, which the government has not failed to observe, appears preliminary to serious events, aggravates the situation and imposes on tlie royal government an obligation absolutely to prepare for the dangers which will result. "The Italian government, having the intention henceforth to protect Its interests and dignity, lias decided to proceed to the military occupation of Tripoli and Cyrene. "This situation is the only one that will give Italy power to itself decide and itself attend to thai which the imperial government does not do. "The royal government demands that the Imperial government shall give orders that the actual Ottoman representative shall not oppose the measure which will, in consequence, in. necessary to effect this solution. An ultimate agreement will lie re- ii ii Chi eel between the two governments to regulate tbe definite situation siiuatlon which will arise. "The royal embassy at Constantinople i- ordered in demand a decisive reply on this subject from ihe Otto- inan governmenl within twenty-four hours of the presentation to the Porte of ihe present document, in default of which tlie Italian government will consider Itself obliged to proceed Immediately with measures destined to assure the occupation, it is asked in addition that the response of the forte within the period ol twenty- four hours shall be communicated also through the British embassy at Rome. (Signed) "PI SAN GIULIANO." TIMBER (ONSKIU ATION Views Expressed by II. .1. Palmer- of the ( Ire'inainus Mills on Subject In his evidence before the tax commission at Vancouver, E. .1. Palmer of the Chemainus .Mills discussed the by-products of lumber. When asked if he thought it possible to save these iu the present condition of the market, he said he did not care to express an opinion, but that there was a wasteage going on constantly which he thought could be avoided. lie said that in logging off lands it was impossible to avoid the destruction of large numbers of trees suitable for idling, railway ties and other purposes for which small trees can be used. If it were possible to save the smaller trees, they would, after a time, become saw logs, but It is not possible, for even when they escape destruction when Hie larger trees are felled, those that do fall furnish food for fire and in many instances they, the standing small trees, and too frequently the adjoining large timber, are destroyed. Mr. Palmer thought it would be well to remove the restriction from the exportation of such small stuff. He did not confine his suggestion to such of it as might be cut upon lands that were about to be logged off, but possibly a regulation could be devised that would meet the case in this respect. Air, Palmer said that by removing this restriction a valuable asset would be saved and converted into money, the province would be in receipt of some additional revenue, the danger of fire losses would be reduced, a profitable line of foreign commerce would be developed, and employment would be given to a good deal of additional labor. A suggestion of this kind from a practical man ought not to he lightly brushed aside. o — It looks as if La Presse, the newspaper wliich so violently combatted Air. Borden during the recent electoral campaign, was about at tlie parting of the Way, as the proprietor of that paper recently stated that La Presse was prepared to give the premier-elect fair play. In fact, he said he considered Air. Borden to be a man of broad views, too broad, in fact, for some of his Ontario friends, who he thought wanted a man more to their own liking. The'Stay S&rreefacrory'a&nge Good, Sound Reasons for MONARCH Economy Alonarch Ranges are built so Jhat they can never have "air leaks"— For around every opening into the body there Is a Alalleable Iron frame to which the steel is riveted. No putty is needed in such joints. They are air tight when new and stay air tight. If these other ranges were built in this way they might be economical'too. Investigate this matter of rivet construction versus stove bolts and stove putty. It's Important to every one using or buying a range. SOLD AND GUARANTEED BY THE Kaien Hardware Co.
