Davis Acquiesces in the Views of Mr. Thomson, of Seattle The city council met as a committee of tne whole on Wednesday evening to consider among other things the question of the report of R. H. Thomson, city engineer of Seattle, relative to the proposed water supply for the city. At the meeting tenders were opened for the printing of the report. The tenders were: The Journal, $63; News, $65; Premier Press, $70, and Empire, $75. The contract was awarded to The Journal. It was decided also to have printed the report of the city engineer, Colonel Davis, upon which Is based Air. Thomson's report. The whole will be contained in one booklet. A short report from Colonel Davis relative to the report of Mr. Thomson, was read at the meeting. He accepts the consulting engineer's findings and endorses the conclusions reached by him. He pointed out where the differences came in and the reasons for it. The principal difference apart from the addition of an electric supply, which is proposed by .Mr. Thomson, is the substitution of an 18-inch main from the lake to Shawatlans Passage for a 25-inch main, as proposed by Colonel Davis, in his original report. The 25-inch pipe would be sufficient to supply a population of 60,000, while the lS-inch pipe would meet the demands of 33,800. His Worship said that it must be a great satisfaction to Colonel Davis to have -Mr. Thomson acquiesce in the proposals he made in large part. On the proposal of Colonel Davis to have two pipes across Shawatlans Pasage so as to avoid all danger of the cutting off of the supply by any accident, Aid. Clayton asked if the popes across the passage would be placed far apart. He thought perhaps the idea would be to put them some distance apart to avoid the danger of injury from the dragging of an anchor. Colonel Davis said the pipes would not be far apart according to his plans. His Worship said that Air. Peters, the solicitor had looked into the question and was of opinion that the proposition for a water supply and a power supply could be put through as one work. Air. Peters agreed with this. He thought they were so closely allied that It could be taken as one work. His Worship said that with the city engineer and Air. Thomson so well agreed the situation was simplified. All-. Peters believed that if k tho debt was made a charge against the water rates it would not be necessary to have a petition prepared before presenting the bylaw to the people to be voted upon. Air. Poter said no petition was required where the interest and sinking fund was raised by rates or rentals and not out nf general revenue. Considerable discussion followed with respect to the matter, it being finally decided to have Mr. Peters proceed at once with the preparation of the necessary bylaw, which will be ready for presentation on .Monday night and be ready for discussion. o COUNTERFEIT SILVER Western Canada is at present being flooded with counterfeit Canadian silver coinage, principally fifty- cent pieces. Bankers say that this counterfeit is the most accurate and therefore, one of the most dangerous which they have ever seen. This particular counterfeit has a somewhat greasy feel and the milling on the edge is very imperfect. The coin Is also a little light in weight, and can be detected if rung on a counter, table or floor. The head side Is almost perfect, but the obverse side is a little indistinct. W. E. Williams, accompanied by Mrs. Williams, left for Victoria this morning. He has gone to attend the court slttin gas counsel for the accused in connection with the trouble at Kelly's cut. REALTY BULLETIN New Publication Devoted to Real Estate and Other Interests of Prince Itupert In a few days there will be Issued the first number of a new publication in Prince Rupert, intended to advance the interests of Prince Rupert by giving special information concerning its business. The periodical will be published monthly in niagzine form and is under the editorship and control of JoBeph F. Swift of this city. Mr. Swift has had experience in this line before, having published a somewhat similar paper in the east. He plans a very creditable publication and one which should be a credit to the city. It is to be devoted to the dissemination of exact information relative to Prince Rupert, so that its effect should be the building up of all legitimate trade and business. o MUSICIANS ORGANIZE Association Is Fonned Locally for .Mutual Benefit of Those Who Follow Calling At a meeting of the local musicians held on Wednesday evening it was decided to form a branch of the Musicians' Mutual Protective Association. The chair was taken by S. D. AlacDonald, president of the Typographical Union, who dwelt briefly upon the advantages of organization. After deciding to organize, the following were selected as officers of the union: President, J. S. Gray; vice president, E. J. Waterman; secretary, Frank Stevens; treasurer, Lee Baker; sergeatn-at-arms Alex Gray; executive committee, Frand Stevens, Lee Baker and J. S. Gray. Aliss Alabel Gray, Alessrs. Kokler, Paul Kauffinann, C. N. Pring, William Godson and W. L. Barker were present at the meeting also. Hospital Meeting There will be an extraordinary general meeting of the members and subscribers to the Prince Rupert General Hospital on Tuesday, evening next in the police court room. The meeting is called for the purpose of passing upon the proposed new bylaws of the society. It is hoped that there may be a full attendance of all interested in the institution. PROGRESS IS MADE Mineral Area at Hazelton is Found Extend Across the Skeena. to Milling Section in the Interior Is Heing Extended In Consequence The prospects at Hazelton, from a mining tandpoint, are looking still more favorable than they were in the earlier part of the year. The Omineca Herald .published in Hazelton, which is always conservative with resp ect to reports regarding the resources of the country, In its last Issue contains the following: According to the expectations of those watching the mineral development of the Hazelton camp, the proved mineral belt has been traced across the Skeena River to the hills on the west side. Several prospectors have been following the receding snow up the side of the bills and this week Jack Lawler and -Jack AlcColl brought in samples from their new locations about a mile and a half from the west end of the Skeena bridge. The ore is an arsenical iron and cube galena, much resembling the ore from the number three vein of the Harris Brothers' claim on Nine Mile. The locators describe the vein as being about three feet and a half wide. It Is freely predicted that one of the most important parts of Hazelton camp will be found on the west side of the Skeena and one of the chief extensions of known mineral territory will be in that direction. The rock formation Is much the same on both sides of the river, the sedimentary rocks being the same In appearance and the eruptive rocks apparently the same as the porphyry granite of Nine Mile Mountain. QUEEN CHARLOTTES AGAIN TO THE FRONT Interest Revived in the Rich Opportunities That are Awaiting Capital on the Islands Close to the City of Prince Rupert-Investigating - Interests are Constantly Arriving. ADVANCE I.N SERVICE The advance of the season each steamer from the south brings additional numbers who are looking into the opportunities that are presenting themselves there for investment. It is quite apparent that for many years to come investors in various lines are going to divide their attention over a very wide area in the north. The whole district, which recognizes this as the centre, seems to be rich. Many years will be required to discover what it contains without even developing. The latest arrivals from Ihe south, bound to the Queen Charlottes, were Captain Bellamy, G. Thorpe and a small party interested in coal prospects and also in other lines. They are visitin gthe islands and will look into the chances for investment elsewhere before going soutn. Mr. Parnall, who has the drill at Skidegate, awaiting shipment to the west coast of Graham Island to bore for oil, went south this morning to secure the necessary scow to carry the outfit to the scene. He had almost completed arrangements, as lie thought, for the scow which the city purchased. The taking over of it by the city, however, has upset his arrangements. W. G. McMorris, who has charge of the opening up of the British Pacific properties, expects to be mining fifty tons a day by September. He is sinking the slope within about a mile and a half of deep water in the coal formation. He is exceedingly well satisfied with the results of the work so far. EXTENDING ITS FIELD Mackenzie & Mann May Establish Whaling Stations all Along Coast. First of Series South of Canada to Be Opened at Aberdeen The Alackenzie and Mann interests seem to be well satisfied with their whaling investment and it is reported that they will extend their chain of stations which now exist in Canada alone, all the way south as far as Mexico. The first of a line of stations for the United States coast is now to be built In Aberdeen, Washington. While the control will be practically the same as it is on the Canadian side, the stations built in the United States will be incorporated under a different name. The work of outfitting the Aberdeen station is now under way and it will soon be in operation. It is reported at present that the whales on the coast are very timid so that the hunting has been somewhat difficult. At Naden Harbor on Graham Island, the operations are in full swing and a fair supply of mammals are being taken. About 125 men are employed there altogether and the equipment is right up to date. o HUDSON'S HAY ROAD * (Special to The Journal) * * OTTAWA, June 2.—Tenders * * have been called for the con- * * struetlon of 185 miles of the * * Hudson's Day Railway.

The vessel, It Is expected, is not seriously injured and was expected to float off at high water, according to the last reports. The Amur Is well known here, having been on the Queen Charlotte Islands run for several seasons. WILL NOT CONFER Master Builders Association in Vancouver Refuse to Meet in Conference. They Decline That Previous Meetings Were Without Results (Special to The Journal) VANCOUVER, June 2.—-The master builders' association has refused the offer of the city council to meet in conference with the civil committee and union representatives with a view to averting a general strike in the city. A letter from the master builders declares they were carrying on their work without difficulty and previous conferences had been unavailing so that it would do no good to hold any more. The move arises out of the avowed intention to call a general strike of workers in the building trades. THE PANAMA CANAL Lecture on tlie Subject Was Delivered by Mr. Mngee Last Night Last evening in the Empress Theatre, Willim II. Alagee, correspondent of the London Daily Telegraph, delivered a most interesting address upon the Panama Canal. Alayor .Manson presided and while the attendance was not as large as could have been wished for those who went enjoyed the lecture. The speaker traced the history of the move for the Panama Canal with the conditions which prevailed. He laid stress on the importance that would attach to it in a commercial way, showln gthat Prince Rupert, as the terminus of a great railway artery, would derive' rich results. o WRECKER OF TRAINS Lunatic Believed to Have Caused Accident on Railway. Fatal Those Concerned Are in Terror of Their Lives As He Is Still ut Large (Special to The Journal) CHATHAA1, Ont., June 2.—The wrecking of passenger train number '.) on the Michigan Central near Rldgetown, when Engineer Quinn and Fireman Oakes were killed, is now believed to have been the work of a lunatic. For some time past there have been numerous stories of wrecks attempted on other roads in similar manner. The trainmen are in mortal terror as this lunatic Is still at large. Joseph F. Swift, of this city, has just received the information that his son, Cyril James Swift, has been appointed resident engineer on the National Transcontinental Railway for division 24, with headquarters at Cochrane, Ont. The young man Is only 22 years of age. His appointment at such an age speaks well for his ability as an engineer. He Is a graduate of the Royal .Military College at Kingston. Moved His Office Dr. Tremayne has moved his office from the old Kelly-Caruthers block on Centre street, to rooms over Orme's Drug Store. Removing Remains The remains of John Flanigan, who was killed in an accident, at Hardserabble, on the Skeena, will be removed and forwarded to his friends in Elmira, N. V. The application for the removal of the body was made through the United States consular service, who communicated with C. C. Perry, the Indian agent at Metlakatla. All the necessary formalities have been complied with and the remains will be sent south. o BANQUET TO PREMIER The British Columbia committee in charge of the complimentary banquet which will be tendered Premier .McBride at Iondon on the 9th of June proximo, and which includes the most representative western Canadians at present resident in the Imperial metropolis, has very appropriately sent to this province an order for a liberal consignment of the royal fish that has made Britisii Columbia famous and which will figure with honor on the menu for the interesting occasion. As a result there will be shortly despatched to the caterers of the forthcoming significant banquet a specially selected order of Tyee salmon, which will go forward in cold storage. The Tyee—which is the classic Chinook for "Big Chief"—would certainly appear to have been most appropriately chosen for a place of distinction on the menu for this dinner to British Columbia's popular premier. o Aliss Alton, who has been superintendent of the Port Simpson Hospital, and Aliss Burpee, matron of the Stewart Hospital, are guests of Airs.

HARMFUL SMOKING Pipes are Least Injurious According to Report of Medical Journal. <i leireltes and Cigars Then low in the Order Named Pol- The question as to which of the three forms of smoking, the pipe, the cigarette or the cigar introduces the greatest proportion of nicotine into the smoker's system, has never obtained a completely decisive answer, although it has received considerable discussion from time to time, says American Aledicine. At one time it was freely asserted that the tobacco which contained the highest amount of nicotine necessarily tended to be the most injurious, no matter in what form it was smoked, but now we know that the form of smok ing plays an Important part. There was a theory that not in all three cases was the original nicotine in the tobacco conveyed as such to the mouth; sometimes it was destroyed by effective combustion, while at other times pyridine was responsible for the toxic effects. According to this theory, which was all on the right track, the cigarette was least harmful, because the tobacco along the thin paper wrapper was exposed freely to the air, and as a consequence the tobacco was well burnt and the nicotine was destroyed. Against this it was held that in such a case one poison disappeared only for another one to be elaborated and carbon monoxide was found in marked quantity as a poisonous constituent of cigarette smoke. As a matter of fact, carbon monoxide is invariably found in all tobacco smoke, and that circumstance should be sufficient to warn all smokers against inhaling it persistently. Theories as to what happens in the combustion of tobacco in the various ways it is smoked next took into account the extent to which condensation products were formed formed and retained in the tobacco. The most effective condenser, of course, is the pipe, and there can be little doubt that owing to the length of the stem a comparatively small proportion of these condensation products reach the mouth. In the cigar, on the contrary, the condensing process has a tendency to travel throughout the cigar; at all events, as the cigar gets shorter the condensed product area gradually reaches the month and eventually the products are conveyed there by the heat of the burning end. It has been said by connoisseurs that no cigar is worth smoking after one-half of it has been consumed, which seems to be a practical realisation of theoretical considerations very suitable for application by millionaires. Again, a cigar that has been partially smoked and then allowed to go out is decidedly unpleasant when relit, owing, doubtless to the spread of condensation products to the mouth end. In the case of the pipe, the burning area is always In the same place; it never comes nearer the mouth, and therefore, the probability Is that the condensation products ilo not reach the mouth in, al any rate, appreciable quantities. In the cigarette the condensation products eventually reach the. mouth, bul there is in this case less chance of condensation products forming, since the combination is unhampered, the tobacco being freely in contact with the air. The question of moisture, however, must nol be left oul in these considerations, for it is obvious that damp tobacco will form condensation products more readily than dry tobacco. It Is probable, therefore, thai a dry cigar or cigarette give's off le.-s poisonous products than n damp one does, bul nol everyone smokes from choice a new cigar or an old cigarette, it is reasonable to conclude that the amount of nicotine reaching the mouth does nol necessarily depend on the amount In the tobacco, but on the form in which il is smoked. In drawing this conclusion, regard must, of course, be had to the quantity of tobacco smoked, but If the conclusion is correct, the pipe would come first as the least harmful form of tobacco smoking, then the cigarette and lastly the cigar. o If you want the honey That comes from the hive Take up the phone and Call one, double five.

PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL 3lffllffltffltffllffllffltfflttJS !eftlffllffllffllffllfflttltffle& I GRAND TRUNK PACIFIC TOWNSITE w ELLISON WM—■!■■ II IH I ■ The only Main Line Town- site in British Columbia in which the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway Company has announced its joint ownership. SEE THE OFFICIAL MAP.—The first glance will show you that ELLISON is located at the junction of the Skeena River and the Bulk- ley Valley. The Grand Trunk Pacific has announced that they are joint owners in the townsite of Ellison. Now, my dear reader, you must remember that up to date the Grand Trunk Pacific has not announced that it has any interest in any other main line towsite in British Columbia. Does that start you thinking? o STUDY THE MAP and you will find Ellison is where the railway tracks leave navigation. That fact is a very important one for conservative investors to think over. What is known as the Hazelton district covers a territory many miles in extent in every direction radiating from the townsite of Ellison. Alining machinery, ore shipments, smelters, reduction plants and all sorts of mining operations starting up in this rich mineral region, must necessarily have a metropolis, a HUB, a headquarters. If any sane, conservative man can figure out any other spot except Ellison for the hub ef the great commerce of this district, his plan should be very inter esting to the Grand Trunk Pacific officials. It does seem as though these officials, after several years of investigation and engineering, would know just what they were doing when they put their official stamp on Ellison. about will only be feeders to city and port of ELLISON. the The STUDY THAT MAP.—I desire to say to all parties who are talking townsites in the vicinity oi Skeena River and the Bulkley Valley that there will no doubt be several small towns, just the same as one always finds in a mining district. There will be towns in the vicinity of Ellison along branch railways, probably towns at the ends of branch lines made to serve the mines and the collieries, but it will be history repeating itself in regard to the building up of every metropolis. Ellison has every natural advantage, has every earmark of being the future mercantile and financial center of the Skeena River mining district and the entrance to the Bulk- ley Valley. o STUDY THAT A1AP and you will find that all of the mining towns and railroad towns around there just beginning to be talked Grand Trunk Pacific has put Its official stamp on Ellison. Do you believe the company will do as much for townsites owned by individuals as it will for one in which its stockholders are joint owners? If you do, don't buy any lots in Ellison. If you desire to make a permanent investment, or merely to make a little quick money, you must decide for yourself right now. Do you propose to follow the individual townsite promoters or the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway Company. STUDY THAT MAP.—If you desire to put your money into a real estate promoter's townsite you will have many, many opportunities this summer. The average promoter is full of hurrah and red fire. He must enthuse investors of the mail order class with his wares. ELLISON is in the Missouri class. Therefore, I am not telling any fairy tales about it. I am making statements that can be readily verified. o STUDY THAT AIAP.—If you want to join that great army of investors-at-long-range, then you should put your money into promoters' townsites. If you want a perfectly safe and sound investment, certain to bring you large profits, then put your money where the Grand Trunk Pacific, after years of careful investigation, have put their money. o STUDY THAT AIAP.—It is not likely the Grand Trunk Pacific will have any other townsite in British Columbia for sale this year. The officials of the company state that the company is not interested in any townsite in the Hazelton district with the exception of ELLISON. ELLISON is on the bank of the Skeena at Its confluence with the Bulkley. 'Sou may change railway surveys; you may change the location of towns along the line of road, but you cannot change the geography of the country through which the railway passes. The head of navigation necessarily means an important townsite. Ellison will not only be at the head of navigation but the center of a mining district wonderful in its resources that is now being opened up, and for which Ellison will be the shipping point both by rail and water. The fact that trains may change engines up or down the line or in the suburbs of the town of Ellison does not amount to shucks in building up a town when such places are compared with a town located where rails and navigation meet. o STUDY THAT AIAP.—You will find on the official plan of Ellison that a large part of the town- site has been reserved for future sales, the same as the company has done with certain sections of Prince Rupert townsite. There are, therefore, at this time, comparatively few lots on the market. You must hurry if you want one. o STUDY THAT MAP.—ROGERS' ADDITION to Ellison, only a small parcel of land, lies within eight blocks of the site of the railway station. Lots in this are being offered. I am advising my clients to buy Rogers Addition lots at $150 for inside lots and v-60 for corners. Terms—10 per cent discount for cash, or 10 per cent down and the balance on easy terms; no interest. w tftl LOTS IN ELLISON TOWNSITE AND ROGERS ADDITION FOR SALE PRINCE RUPERT British Columbia ^Rawwwwwww JEREMIAH H.

"Joe" Martin, ex-Premier of British Columbia, there would still be trouble brewing for the Liberal Government, says a London despatch. As the Liberal member for the East St. Pancras district of London, Mr. Martin is taning an active part In sifting the veto bill through the fine sieve of Tory opposition. But the sifting process is tedious, and the strict discipline of the English party whips is irksome to the western spirit. So Air. Martin has joined the swelling radical wing of the Liberals in protesting against an excessive amount of sand being used on the progressive track. Some of this sand, says Air. Martin, Is also being thrown into the eyes of the Liberal electorate. Raps Machine Domination In short, Air. Martin continues to be a good deal of an insurgent. His special grievances are against the machine domination of the cabinet and the resulting growth of favoritism and patronage. His views represent a growing sentiment within the Liberal party. This he explained with his customary vigor in an interview the other day at Westminster. "The great trouble with politics over here is this," he said, in his western flavor of speech, which is one of the delights of the house, "that the private member cannot get into the cabinet except by patronage. That means, of course, that the private member is, in the end, right under the thumb of the cabinet. Now ,our primitive way in Canada is to have the cabinet responsible to its supporters. In fact, the cabinet exists there onl yto carry out the wishes of the members of the majority party in the house. "Here the practice is just the opposite. The British cabinet today is more powerful than ever before in its history. Private members seem to exist only to keep the ministry in power. Now some private members care .. j: : - n.i.( Sill"*- lation the party has promised to the people carried than keeping a particular ministry In power. I f eel that way for one, and I don't think the present ministry is fulfilling its pledges. 1 have said so publicly, and I generally say what I mean so it will be understood. Never Gets Speaker's Eye ' Consequently ,1 am not allowed to speaK from the floor of the house. Like a score of other radical offenders, x am not on the list of names which my party's whips have handed to the speaker. So I do not catch his eye. Aly questions are evaded; sometimes they are ignored. My letters are not even acknowledged. "The reason tor all this," contin tied Mr. Martin, in so calm a tone that no one would think he was uttering one of the boldest of party heresies, "is patronage, pure and simple. It holds all the funds necessary to help members fight their elections. It controls all the honors and distinctions which mark a politician s visible rise. And it will take to Itself only those men who will make themselves nothing more than a cog in the machine. "And then the concessions that are ade over our heads! We never would allow them for a moment if we could stop them—but we can't. Only the other day, a big concession was handed out to the large Tory landowners which resulted in 69 of us, all good Liberals, voting against the Government. That's all we can do who want to keep the Government up to its pledges—vote against it. It's the only thing which will ever bring it to its senses. "No Room for Us" "As Hilalre Belloc—the Liberal who has pust written up the party system—has said, there is a plain working understanding between the governing groups in the two parties. You only have to sit in the house to see that one won't force the other beyond a certain limit. And we who feel the real revolution in British thought and want to express it In a democratic chamber—well, there's no room for us. "It is curious that his party patronage has revived an older form of patronage which most Englishmen have thought was dead—that is the inefficient •faithfuls' are raised to cabinet headships, the Tory permanent officials soon get out of hand. "The class meeling and personal snobbery which they say is increasing within the civil service Is wholly due to the fact, that the supposedly democratic ministry is not genuinely watchful against it. And it is also due to the fact that they are trying a little patronage of their own. "Back in Canada," concluded Mr. Martin, with a humorous sparkle In his eye, which showed that one can be a fighter without bitterness, "1 kept the permanent officials in their places. I took their figures and their advice—and then did as I pleased." o NEW TOWNS IX WEST TRADE WITH JAPAN C. Yada States That Great Opportun. ities Lie at Canada's Doors— Treaty with Great Britain Cliere Will Be One Hundred and Seventy Brought Into Existence During This Summer By the end of the coming summer there will be at least 170 new towns in Canada, not counting those which came into existence gradually and in the natural course of evolution from clusters of houses, into hamlets, and then into towns. The 170 will all be In the west—the great, the glorious west. Not for them the humdrum processes of conventional development; they will spring, full panoplied, into being, with hotels, courthouses, jails and all the modern Improvements, on paper, and a small railroad station, a mile or so of siding and unbounded hope and confidence in the future as actual assets. The Canadian Pacific will be responsible for fifty of them, the Grand Trunk Pacific, for twenty-four, and the Canadian Northern for ninety- six, it is a fair supposition that all of them will live because of the fostering care of their railroad, and that most of them will prosper because the time has come for towns to succeed farms at selected locations on the prairies, and the railroads are in a better position to do tbe selecting than any other instrumentality except land companies. Nor will these railroad towns be the only communities to come into being in the west In the next three or four months, but from their number it is possible to draw some kind ot an Impression of the method and the favoritism in the civil service. When speed of western development. Hon. C. Yada, Imperial Japanese consul in Vancouver, speaking in connection wit lithe debate on Canada's relations with Japan, which took place at Ottawa, stated that, from bis viewpoint, he did not see that any valid reason had been advanced against the Dominion becoming a party to a renewal of the present trade treaty between Great Britain and his country. The way to look at the matter. In Air. Yada's opinion, should be with regard to future trade possibilities, and not what had been accomplished in that direction in the past. The geographical positions of the two countries guaranteed a steady growth in the interchange of their commodities, and as the business men of Canada and Japan were becoming better acquainted, he had no fear for the future. He wondered why Canada could not compete with the United States In regard to the exportation of wheat and flour to Japan, the United Stales last year having sent produce valued at between $3,000,000 and $4,000,- 000. He did not know whether it was due to excessive transportation charges, or a failure to grasp opportunities. Whatever the cause, he was sure that if Canada sent agents to Japan to look over the field and back up the efforts of the resident trade commissioner, it would bo highly beneficial. Tlie Japanese were becoming increasingly large consumers of foreign articles, and afforded a continual market for thousands of tons of news print, the supply of which was, at present, received from Germany, Norway and the United States. There W'as no apparent reason why Canada should not compete on favorable terms. At the present time the balance of trade was in favor of Japan by $1,500,000, due to the rice, tea and silk Imported by the Dominion. The Canadian smelters, however, were alive to the opportunities, and Canadian pig lead was fast displacing other foreign products.

Tin: a. r. p. taxation In a few days Charles Al. Hays, president of the Grand Trunk Pacific, and other officials of that company will be in the city and will be in negotiation with the city council looking to a settlement of the taxation question. There is no denying that there is a strong hope existing among the citizens that an agreement may be reached that will remove this cause for a certain amount of friction between the company and the city. It is idle to theorize on this sub ject. The citizens of Prince Rupert are more concerned in the material advancement of the city and with it their own welfare than they are in any academic questions affecting taxation. Dependent upon the premises taken and the theories of taxation accepted, it can be proven that the Grand Trunk Pacific should bear all the taxes in Prince Rupert, or be exempt altogether. No particularly good purpose, however, is served by such arguments. The citizens have to face the situation as it exists and takin geverything into consideration decide what is the proper course to pursue in their own interests. It is idle to lay down a basis for settlement now. We have always argued that the two sides should get together and arrange a basis of settlement that should be acceptable to both sides, if that is at all possible. Tlie question to be decided is one of policy purely. > Selected for This Year's Rendezvous Between British Columbia und Alberta At the bead of the Alpine meadow formiii gthe hanging valley directly over Sherbrooke lake, close to the Great Divide which marks the boundary between Alberta and British Columbia and the apex of the watershed of the west, the sixth annual camp of the Alpine Club of Canada will be hel dthis summer. The camp will be opened on July 2G, and closed on August 4. The camp is for the purpose of enabling members of the club to meet in the mountain regions ot Canada, and graduating members to receive the assistance of the club in qualifying for active membership. Accommodation is provided for one hundred persons. "The Great Divide Camp" is perched at a height of 6,300 feet above the sea level, and is reached from the nearest railway station, Hector a distance of three miles, by pony trail. Sherbrook meadow lies in one of the most beautiful valleys in the main range of the Canadian Rockies. On the east rise the slopes of the rugged ridge between Mounts Bosworth and Daly, which divides the waters of the Atlantic from those of the Pacific. On the west the Mount Ogden ridge shuts off the famous Yoho Valley. The meadow is open grass land interspersed in every direction by a network of streams fed by the glacial torrents from the snow and ice masses on either ide of Mount Niles. Rock precipices at the head of the meadow show cave-like recesses often used by wild goat and several times by pioneer explorers who have made first ascents of neighboring peaks, while to the east, a narrow defile through which rushes a glacial torrent leads to the snow pass between Alount Niles and Daly. Here are sunny park-like uplands dotted with waving spruce trees and brilliant with flowers that only grow at these altitudes. The official climbs for members wishing to graduate this year are: Alount Daly, 10,332 feet and Pope's Peak, 10,355 feet above sea level. BIG EXPENDITURE The Grand Trunk Pacific Railway proposes to spend between nine and ten million dollars for the improvement of its terminal facilities In Montreal. The plans are now before the railway commission. They embrace the elevation of the tracks between Bonaventure station and Turcot yards, and from St. Henri to the Point St. Charles yards. The work as contemplated also includes the erection of new freight and passenger terminals at Bonaventure. o SMALL GERMAN STATICS Are Twenty-Six Different Governments Found in Kaiser's Empire' Then EX-PRESIDENT DIAZ which Canada is given the lion's share of attention. "The total investment of Britisii capital in Canada is now $2,100,- 000,000," continued Air. Palmer. "There has been in London during the past twelve months a wonderful awakening to the investment possibilities of Canada. The result is that anything with a Canadian labol on it goes in London if it is any good at all. "Of course, there are dangers In such a boom—for it may almost be called a boom. No securities of an inferior nature should be offered in Loudon by Canadians, because such offerings would not take long to injure Canadian credit in the metropolis." "What is the feeling among Old Country financiers and investors toward the Fielding-Knox reciprocity agreement?" Air. Palmer was asked. "The general feeling in Great Britain is one of grave anxiety," was the reply. "It is felt there that it is a pity that, when everything was going along so nicely, Canada should desire to take a step which, to say the least, is fraught with danger to herself. "That there Is danger in this step surely cannot be denied. President Taft's address before the American Newspaper Publishers a little while ago was nothing short of a declaration of commercial war with the British Empire." o PRAISE FOR HOSPITAL * Career of the Alan Who Has Forced to Vacate Office ii Mexican Republic Been The complete results of the recent German census which have just been published, serve to recall the existence of several small states as constituent members of the federal empire.

There are five German states with populations ranging from 100,000 to 200,000. Tho principality of Schwarzburg-Rudolstaft with loo,. 712, the grand duchy of Mecklen- burg-Strelitz with 106,347 Inhabitants, the republic of Lubeck with 110,53;!, the principality of Lippe- Detmold with 150,748 and the principality of Iteuss (younger line) with 152,765 inhabitants. There are eight other small German states with populations of less than half a million. Altogether there are twenty-six states, including the crown lands of Alsace and Lorraine, and the three republics of Hamburg, Bremen and Lubeck. Prussia heads the list with a population of 40,156,791, and the three smaller kingdoms of Bavaria, Saxony and Wurtembtirg have approximately seven million, five million and two and a half-million inhabitants, respectively.

Bitterly opposed by young progressive .Mexico, Diaz held office so long because of the difficulty of finding a successor. He has played a prominen part In the building up of modern Alexico. In 1847 he doffed his lawyer's gown and girded on the sword when the United States invaded Alexico, and from that stirring period on he has been a soldier and a statesman. He is said by those who know him to possess the sublety of the Indian, combined with strong independence of thought and action, which are dangerous elements when employed In quelling insurrections, and so successfully tha the has been the last to admit the possibility of failure in the present contest, with Aladero. He has been the fatuous, Incompetent Maximilian going to his doom, and has had dreams of a South American Confederation, in which he would play the role of Napoleon. He was first elected president in 1N77, and since then has remained in office. Like some other great men noted In history, his fatal mistake has been the gradual conver sion of a temporary dictatorship, due to the success of arms, into a permanent autocracy, hopelessly out of touch with the modern life of the I'ountry. o MONEY FOR CANADA To the Editor of The Journal: Having just recovered from a serious operation, performed in your city hospital—for double hernia— I wish to bear testimony to the efficiency of the institution and the unexcelled skill of the medical and surgical profession of Prince Rupert. There are, I understand, eight doctors here. Among these are pecialists in all branches of medical science and I thought it would be well to say that my physician, during my illness, was Dr. Kergin, of whom I cannot speak too highly. His undoubted skill and courtesy, it would, 1 am sure, be bard to equal. I think the directors of the hospital board are to be congratulated on having such an excellent staff of nurses and such a capable and kindly matron as Aliss McTavish, who is well known in this northern country. It would be impossible to get together more capable nurses than those in the hospital of this city. These ladies have graduated from the hospitals of London and Boston and other large cities, consequently they have had a most valuable experience.

Palmer is touring Canada in the interests of the Empire Section of his paper—a weekly feature in The proposal to establish an international game preserve which would take in the Glacier park in Montana with a piece of Alberta and a portion of the southeast portion of British Columbia, was laid before Premier McBride by the Camp Fire Club of America in New York. The scheme would involve the extension of the Waterton Lakes park In Alberta, and the setting aside of twenty or thirty miles In British Columbia commonly known as the Flathead district. The matter is being referred to Air. Bryan Williams, provincial game warden, for consideration. From remarks made by Air. Williams he does not appear to think the scheme very practical or very desirable. He points out that the province has already a game preserve In East Kootenay, which is a much better one than the new one It Is proposed to create. It Is not disturbed by mining or timber leases, while the area proposed to be set aside is covered with coal, oil and timber leases. Apart from all this there must be very great difficulty in administering so large an area under three different governments. The scheme above outlined has been recommended by Mr. Howard Douglas, Dominion commisisoner of parks. An argument advanced in favor of it is that under present conditions, an American hunter can step over the boundary and shoot game In Canada, while the Canadian sportsmen findB on reaching the International boundary that he also is at the boundary of a game preserve and has to halt.

W. Wan- nacott, a well-known northern trapper, was purchased by J. K. Cornwall M. P. P., for $500. The animal is half-black, or a much higher figure would have been brought by the sale. "The past winter has been one of the worst trapping seasons on record," said Air. Wannacott in conversation. "The catch of the average trapper does not amount to more than $20 for the whole season, and I have been fortunate in securing one valuable fur. In addition to the silver fox I secured 90 rats and one red fox and forty, weasels." During the summer Mr. Wannacott hopes to obtain a job as an engineer on one of the Canadian roads. Before he went Into the trapping business he was engaged for a number of years on the Michigan Central. In the fall he will again set out for the wilds, where he will spend the winter In trapping In the Pine River country. He left Edmonton last fall on October 27. The British Columbia Company LIMITED.

VESTA VICTORIA TO WED When in Vancouver She Decided to Cancel Engagement After Appearing at Chicago The Chicago Inter-Ocean of recent date, contains the interesting announcement that Vesta Victoria, who recently appeared In Canada with her company, Is to wed a girlhood sweetheart, a resident of Winnipeg. The article reads: Vesta Victoria, the English vaudeville actress, who made the woes of the girl who was "Waiting at the Church'' and "Poor John" famous In two continents, sent a telegram last night to Colonel W. A. Thompson, manager of the Auditorium, stating that her engagement in Chicago, beginning Saturday, May 20, would probably be her last.

L..UH.U.........J to marry a girlhood sweetheart, A. L. Cathcart, of Winnipeg, Alan.. Miss Victoria and Cathcart were sweethearts in Leeds, Eng,, some years ago. They quarreled, and young Cathcart emigrated to Manitoba, where he made a large fortune. They had not heard directly from each other since their quarrel in England, when Cathcart saw Aliss Victoria's name on a show bill In Winnipeg, and, although he was uncertain whether she was the girl he had known in Leeds, he went to the theatre. When she came on the stage he knew her at once, and sent his card, with a request to see her after the show. Aliss Victoria remembered him. She was willing to forgive and forget their quarrel, and before he left the theatre that night they were engaged. Colonel Thompson, hearing of the engagement, was afraid that Miss Victoria would not appear In Chicago, and at once telegraphed to Vancouver, where she Is at present. Mr. Cathcart and Miss Victoria will be married In Chicago on May 30, and will start on their honeymoon at once. They will go to England, where they will make their future home. * * * * * * * *... * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * I STORAGE! * * * Household Goods and Baggage * .£ given careful attention. * % Forwarding, Distributing and * % Shipping Agents T Mrs. John Plercy and Miss Plercy have arrived In the city from Victoria. * * TRANSFERERS * ':' Prince Rupert Warehousing * * * and Forwarding Co. % * * First Ave., near .McBride St. * * * * DOUGLAS SUT.IERLAND, ♦ V i Manager. * P.

NEW STEA.MER About the end of this month the new Northern Steamship Company's steamer Britisii Empire will arrive from Grangemouth, Scotland, to replace the Petriana, which was purchased by the Canadian Northern Pacific Fisheries Company, on the run to northern British Columbia ports. She was reported leaving Coronel on Alay 2, having called there to take on bunker coal. The Britisii Empire is making one of the longest passages from the Old Land ever recorded against a steamer, owing to the fact that she was detained at the Cape Verde Islands as a result of disabled machiuery. While making the run to her first coaling port the vessel's mechanism gave trouble and she had to await the arrival of new parts from England before she could proceed. It was expected that she would have been here in time for the spring rusu to the nortli, but the delay at the Atlantic islands has caused her to miss the greater part of this. Upon arrival she will be overhauled and immediately placed in the coasting service, operating alternately with the Cetriana, which has been on the run aloue since the Petriana was sold. The Britisii Empire is a good sized boat and Is able to handle one thousand tons of freight. Another new vessel is coming to this coast from the Old Country for the Northern Steamship Company of a larger type than the British Empire. She will be able to carry 1,500 tons of cargo and will operate between Victoria, Vancouver, northern Britisii Columbia and Alaskan ports. The company hopes to secure a large amount of the copper shipments sent south. NEW CRUISERS Great Britain's "Princess Royal" type of battleship cruisers, now under construction, present as great a revolution in sea fighting machines as did the first Dreadnought. Driver at a speed of 30 knots (approximately 34 <A miles an hour) and provided with a main battery of eight 13.5-inch guns, these wonderful fighting machines could, it is said, meet and severely punish the most powerful British battleship now in commission without much risk of heing harmed In return. To make the point still clearer the battleship cruiser, driven nt high speed by Its turbines, could maneouvre at a distance of from 500 to 900 yards beyond the effective range of the 12- inch guns of the present Dreadnoughts and hurl her own projectiles home. The eight 13.5-inch guns of the battleship cruisers are on the centre line, and can be fired on either broadside, while four may be fired ahead and two astern. The bridge and superstructure have nearly disappeared on these ships and only a single tripod mast and a light mast to carry the wlrelesB aerials and signals are In evidence. The big-gun barbettes instead of being round, have a series of angles to throw off the enemy's shells. -o— Mrs. A. O. Franks, of Hazelton, Is visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Cameron, In this city. WIRES WERE CROSSED Something Went Wrong with the Departmental Business at Ottawa For several months past the city of New Westminster has been endeavoring to have the British Columbia Electric Railway Company's high power wires across the Fraser River at the New Westminster bridge raised to a sufficient height to allow- deep sea sailing vessels to pass up an ddown the river without lowering their masts. The question has been taken up by the Royal City Council, Board of Trade and Pilot Board with the B. C. Electric Company, the Provincial and Dominion Governments and with the Railway Commission. When the question was brought before the Railway Commission recently the opinion prevailed in New Westminster that it would be speedily adjusted. A few mornings ago, however, Mayor Lee received two letters from Ottawa, both dated May 1. One was from the department of public works to the effect that the question of the height of the high power wires at New Westminster was now in the hands of the Railway Commission for settlement; the other was from the Railway Commission stating that the department of public works was dealing with this question of high power wires. The wires across the river at the bridge are 165 feet above high water mark. In order to accommodate all sailing vessels it. is necessary that these wires be at least 210 feet above high water mark. A suggestion has been made that the wires might, be carried by cable on the bottom of the river. o CAR DISAPPEARED How It Broke from Centre of Train, Rolled Down Embankment and Not .Missed In the records of the Wabash division headquarters at Springfield, 111., the story of the strange disappearance of a box car is now down In black and white to refute the doubts of those who refused to believe it when it was told by word of mouth a short time ago. The car is of the refrigerator type, and was lost out of a train on Barry Hill, in Pike County, Illinois, and was never missed until the conductor checked up his train at the Missouri division headquarters, which he reached ten hours later. And during the hours that the rest of the train was speeding toward the neighboring state, the lost lar was lying bottom side up in a creek near ly 200 feet below the level of the track. A complete record of the affair written by the conductor of the fi eight, is on file at the division offices. Passenger train No. 4, east bound, was speeding toward the hill when the engineer noticed the track ahead was in poor shape. The rails were torn up and the ties twisted. He brought his train to a stop and investigated. Peering about for the cause of the damaged rails, he glanced down into the gully. To his surprise, an upturned refrigerator car, lying 200 feet below, appeared to account for the accident. At the next station the crew of the passenger train made a complete report of the occurrence, including the number of the car, which they could distinguish, despite the distance below the rails. As there were no reports of an ac- the cldent at that point, officials of the division headquarters began an investigation. It developed that the extra freight, west bound, had passed the scene of the accident some time before the passenger train was due. a message to the Allssourl division offices had registered in but that no report of such an occurrence had been made. A few minutes later the conductor of the freight discovered he was one car short. A refrigerator car, thirty cars behind the engine, was missing. Comparison of numbers showed that this particular bit of rolling stock was lying in the bed of the creek at Barry. In the official report the following explanation of the accident was maae: "Going down hill, the engineer had toapply the air several times to retard the momentum of the train. It was between applications that the refrigerator car, which was not connected with the air hose, jumped the track and pulled away from the car ahead. "For some reason the refrigerator turned crosswise across the tracks. There Is a heavy grade at this point and as the car turned it swung up I nthe air and toppled over the embankment. "'ixiis caused the rear coupling of the refrigerator car to slide out of the coupler of the one following. As the rear section of the train remained on the rails on the downhill journey, it soon overtook the front section and the gap left by the missing rolling stock was made at that instant and the train proceeded on its journey. "While this was happening, the engineer suspected, from the working of the air that something was wrong. He spoke to the head brake- man about it. It was dark, however, and the brakeman, after hasty inspection, reported all was well." o NEW STEEL TRAIN Chicago, Milwaukee & Puget Sound Railway Has Model Equipment The officials of the Chicago, Milwaukee & Puget Sound Railway Company invited the public of Seattle a few days ago to inspect the new all-steel train which will afford a new and direct communication between the coast cities and Chicago. That his pride was justified could be seen when a trip was made over the handsome equipment which the railway company has supplied for the use of the public. That the public appreciated the curtesy of being allowed an inspection of the train was shown by the very large number which constantly streamed through the cars all Friday afternoon. It was an auspicious day for the Chicago, Alilwaukee & Puget Sound Railway Company. To get to the train, one had to pass through the magnificent new station, recently completed at a cost of approximately a million dollars. The all-steel train, inaugurating a new service, is the last word in railway equipment, with every detail worked out to a nicety. With the nine cars empty the total weight is equal to that of a loaded freight train, and, to maintain a passenger speed, monster engines have been supplied. Previous figures have been exceeded. The engines are of record size, weighing 385,000 pounds; the parlor and buffet car is 153,600 pounds, many thousand pounds heavier than the ordinary car of its size; the diner weighs 160,000 pounds, and the sleepers 152,300 pounds each. The steel construction makes them non-combustible, anti-telescop ing and indestructible.

The locations were made by Messrs. Todd and Betterton and Alike Costello on a discovery made by Costello about ten years ago, but all Alike saw of it then was tlie capping and since then they have broken through the capping and come into a fine body of hematite. The new locations consist of eleven claims known as the Waterside group, numbering from near the mouth of the creek as Waterside No. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 and Hillside No. 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. Ten years ago Mike showed samples of the capping to M. K. Rodgers who had a test made of it and is said to have obtoined 45 per cent iron, but the railway was then a thing scarcely thought of, let alone being within any measurable distance of completion, and there was no encouragement to take hold of propositions of that kind. In all probability Mr. Rodgers had forgotten all about it since then and as the result of the little lapse in memory may have let a good thing slip through his fingers. From reports to hand there ap- p.ears to be no limit to the extent of the find as no less than five dykes have been discovered of which the smallest if 90 feet wide and the widest 220 feet, which it is claimed by the locators that they can trace them for a distance of three miles The sample of ore taken from one of the dykes certainly has the earmarks of genuine hematite and the only evidence of the presence of troublesome compounds is a little splashing of mispickel noticeable here and there on the sample. Arsenic, however, is not the bugbear in metallurgical processes that it once was, and the amount of sulphur which the little bit of mispickel observable in the specimen would introduce into the product is not likely to make it "hot-short." Smoot, the expert who made the examination, is said to have been rather astonished at what he saw and cannot understand how it has lain so long when the existence of the deposit was known so long ago. Two other experts from New York are expected shortly to make a more thorough and extended examination and meanwhile a couple of men are now at work doing a little stripping and getting trails in shape. o LEAD MINES WANTED Zinc in Good Demand Roth Here and in Spokane "Lead ores and consequently lend mine3 are in better demand than they have been for a long time," says M. Scliott, of Denver, Colo., general manager of the Ohio and Colorado Smelting Company, and manager of the American Metal Company, Limited. The Ohio and Colorado Company, until last week, had the handling of the entire output of the Hecla mine of Burke, Idaho, at Its Salida (Colo.) smelter, that ore supply has now been contracted to the International Smelting and Refining Company, Air. Scliott is looking around for other available supplies. "When it comes down to lead, we cannot at present handle any ores mined In Canada, so we are looking very closely after all the new properties that are being developed In northern Idaho. So far as zinc Is concerned, we can handle British Columbia products, as I am manager or the Bartlesville Zinc Company and the Lanyon Star Smelting Company, GRA8B\ Double Weekly Service S.S.

I still believe that it is the only way that the empire can be straightened and kept together. The English people have an opportunity perhaps for' the last time, of uniting the empire. Let it not be lost." Austin Chamberlain, speaking at the meeting, said lie believed reciprocity would mark the first step in the great reversal of the national policy of Canada, which for generations had been the common policy of both its great parties and to which it owed its extraordinary and magnificent development. "What will bo the effect on our trade" said Mr, Chamberlain, "if these new competitors, the most powerful and highly organized, were Introduced into markets where we had the first invitation?"

PROCESS IS SOLD Refining Discovery Made in Toronto Has Been Purchased at High Figure. Sir Donald Mann Has Taken Over Interest in (In- Company Formed The Island Smell inn and Refining Company, of Toronto, wlicn sprang into existence a few yearc ago through the researches of Dr. J. s. Island in the' back room of his dental effic, has been sold t'j -;e Donald Munn, nf Mackenzie and Mann, lor Ihe sum of seven million dollars. Dr. Isliud has confirmed the report. Under the conditions of tram fer of the secret process for which Dr. Island searched for year3, together with all apparatus, and the services of the inventor, the holders of stock in the Island Smelting and Refining Company will receive approximately seven millions for their holdings which will represent an enormous profit on their original Investment. Payment will be in stock, Sir Donald Mann and his associates retaining about three millions. The story of the transaction contains several elements of peculiar interest, inasmuch as the inventor was for many years a practicing dentist in Toronto, and during spare hou.s patiently developed his theories of the profitable extraction of precious metals from low grade ores. Upon that boal, which had brought failure and financial ruin to many predecessors, he concentrated his attentirn and success came at last. Today, through the negotiations for the new company he finds himself several times a millionaire. The process by which the former dentist has overcome one of the greatest problems of the mining world, namely, the successful and profitable extraction of valuable metals from low g.Crade ores which have formerly been cast away upon the "dump" or left unmined in tbe earth, was described guardedly by Dr. Island. "It is not an electrical process, said he, "but purely chemical. There are no refractory metals as far as the scope of my invention is con corned. It consists of the application of hydrochloric acid and sulphuric acid to ores which converts the mineral salts into soluble salts." While the above revelation will hardly enable an outsider to turn his Backyard into a river of gold it is nevertheless the basis of a ten million dollar secret. It is not regarded as at all surprising that the eyes of Sir Donald Mann should have turned covetously upon such a practical and precious idea as was represented in the discovery. Of recent years the Mackenzie and Mann oney has gone extensively into mining properties, particularly In iron mines west and north of Lake Superior and in other localities which branch lines from the Canadian Northern system could reach. Tlie application of the process to the ores of such properties is understood to be worth untold fortunes, as would likewise be the exclusive control of the scheme in Canada, and the rights for its sale in other countries. A highly Important factor in inducing the present large price for Dr. Island's holdings was the fact that the patents have been secured upon it, giving full protection. About two years ago the Mann interests offered six millions cash for the secret, which was refused. It is understood thai in addition to the Inventor's Bhare holdings, a large portion Of the balance is ill the hands of Toronto men, although United States money is also represented. Mr. John Douglas, a well- known Canadian mining man, is president. 0 COPPER CONTROL *************************** ting not only an adequate return on the capital invested, but that the reserves of the mines can be conserved at will. There are fifty-seven producing mines in the United States, Canada and Mexico, twenty-six of them contributing three-quarters of the total copper production, or about 950,- 000,000 pounds—fifteen oilier properties produce practically 95 ]>«'i" ei'iit of the balance or the production, or 330,000,000 pounds, while sixteen other properties contribute only ee few million pounds apiece and dee not count much in the total output, Three-quarters of the country's production is controlled by five different groups as follows: Amalgamated 2 7 r., 000,000 Guggenheim 200,000,000 Phelps-Dodge 1 7e_.,000,000 Cole-Ryan 160,000,000 Calumet & Heda 140,000,000 Three-quarters of Country's Production Controlled in rive Different Groups Of the total production of copper in the United States, Mexico and Canada, of about 1,300,000,000 pounds per annum, is Is easily conceivable how under liberal laws, the construction of which will soon be determined by the decisions of the I'nited States Supreme Court, the copper industry of the United States can be controlled with a view of the producing mines of the country get- Total 950,000,000 The other big properties which are independent are as follows. Cerro de Pasco 38,000,000 United Verde 35,000,000 Arizona Copper 35,000,000 Boleo 30,000,000 Copper Range 35,000,000 Granby 26,000,000 U. S. Smelting 25,000,000 Stanton Cos 22,000,000 Quincy 22,000,000 Shannon IS,000,000 East Butte 12,000,000 Tennessee 12,000,000 British Columbia 10,000,000 Ohio Copper 10,000,000 Total 330,000,000 Of the above 330,000,000 pounds, 163 000,000 pounds is sold throughout agencies controlled by the "Big Five," thereby placing under control of the agencies in question nearly 1,100,000,000 pounds of production, and leaving absolutely independent the production of seven companies, most of whom sell directly to the trade, although one of the seven, the United Verde, converts most of its copper into wire through an affiliated company, while the Boleo copper all goes to Europe direct. The object of the above is to show that it, is onl ya question of the "Big Five" getting together to control the situation and it is quite possible that under such control several of the properties in the independent class might be secured. In connection with the above it is only worthy of note that the new copper producers which will be coming forward with new production this year and next, are already more or less affiliated with the "Big Five." PRODUCING PEARLS Irritant Placed in Shells Which Induce the Formation of Gems how man co-operates with the oyster in forming pearls was described in a paper read before the Royal Society of Arts. Noel Heaton, the lecturer, did much to destroy the glamor which surrounds the famous gem. The shells of living oysters are pried open and irritant foreign matter introduced. As a consequence the oyster deposits layers of calcium carbonate round the substance and the ultimate result is a pearl. Artificially made pearls are merely spheres of opalescent glass, coated inside wiih a preparation of fish scales and filled up solid with wax. "It is worthy of note, however," said Mr. Heaton, "that imitation pearls are unique among Imitation gems in that In some respects they are actually superior to the natural irticie. They arc considerably harder, for Instance, and (heir lustre Is not affected hy constant wear." The lecturer divested many pre- ious stones of their romance by causing his hearers to regard them with tne cold eyes of science. The turquoise, for Instance, in chemical tormula is just hydrous aluminum phosphate, A sapphire is but a lump of oxide of aluminum. Moreover, all precious stones at the present time can be more or less successfully manufactured, and In some cases it is extremely difficult to tell the man-made gem from the natural earth-formed stone. Speaking of the color of precious stanes, Mr. Heaton said that the tendency still lingered (0 regard all red states as rubles, green stones as emeralds, and so on. "Color is really quite an accident property of precious stones," he said. "The substance of which nearly every species of transparent gem is' <4$rmm^ tm ■^ ■■■:''* mn -f'h'i^KHH The difference between a real thing and an imitation of it is illustrated by the difference between eer and beers that seek to resemble The nearest to the original that imitators ever came was in the counterfeiting of our label.

"For all practical purposes tbe artificial ruby is a ruby," was the somewhat startling statement made by the lecturer. CANCELLATION OF RESERVE.

PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL CORONATION FEAST King George Will be the Host to tbe Poor Children of London. Immense witli Crowd Will Be Served Meals in Connection witli Ceremony The work of preparing for the Coronation entertainment which the King will give to 100,000 poor children of London at the Crystal Palace on June 30, is well under way. Sir William Carrington states that the committee entrusted to carry out the King's wishes, declared absolute impartiality is to lie shown so that school children of every denomination should be properly represented. Although not officially stated, there is every reason to believe that the King and Queen will be present in the course of the afternoon at the entertainment at the Crystal Palace. Most probably they will be accompanied by Princess Mary and one or two of her brothers. It is assumed that the chosen 100,000 will be marshalled like an army and converge upon Sydenham by various routes. Probably the local railways for a certain time in the day will concentrate their energies on the transport of this army. Every child will bear his or her own name and address in writing, and will also carry a distinguishing ticket or rosette, indicating by color and by numerals the particular school and locality. It is hoped, also, that each girl will wear a white dress or sash and each boy a white tie. Once within the gales of the Crystal Palace there should be little difficulty. The staff there is accustomed to invasions of football enthusiasts for the Cup Final numbering from 100,- 00 to 140,000 and in the summer various organizations bring to Sydenham many thousands of children. The King's guests will arrive between 11 and 12:30 and stay until between 6 and 7 o'clock. Dinner and tea will be served, if fine, at long trestle tables on the grass, but if wet the meals will be served in relays within the Palace. For dinner the children will have cold meats, pies, pastries, with lemonade; and at tea bread and butter, jam and cakes. Each of the favored children will be given from the King a specially designed Coronation beaker of Rayol Doulton ware. They are to be of the same shape as those made for King Edward, and on the occasions of the Jubilees of Queen Victoria. His Majesty has supplied a special portrait of himself in the uniform of an admiral of the fleet for reproduction on the beaker. Apart from a generous programme of amusements and a monster tea, the children will be given probably their first glimpse of the greatness of the British Empire. The King has chosen the Crystal Palace, with Its Festival of Empire, as the venue for this reason—to Impress on the juvenile mind some understanding of the vast community of English- speaking countries of which they form an Inappreciable part. Mr. Frank Lascelles will superintend the direction of a special performance of the Pageant of Empire, lasting half an hour. A Royal box is to be erected for Their Majesties. Subsequentl ythe children are to be taken in batches for a trip round the Empire on the "All-Red Route" railroad. This wil lenable them to see the Parliament buildings of Newfoundland, Britain's oldest colony, with its paper-making and whaling and other industries, together with the harbor of St. John's; the great wheat prairies and cattle ranches of Canada, and the parliament buildings at Ottawa; various crown colonies, with a Malay village and a sugar plantation in Jamaica. India will be visited and Delhi, where the King is to be crowned in person Emperor of India. From India the young voyagers will travel to Australia and New Zealand, where the gold and diamond mines will be shown in operation. Skeena Land District—District of Coast.

A Field for .Mining Close to Prince Rupert That Promises Well It is always pleasant to be able to record any successful achievements which have resulted from the expenditure of local capital and the enterprise of local mining men. It frequently happens that the ventures which receive the least publicity are really the most reliable in the end for relying entirely on their own resources they either make good and then create surprise or else fade into oblivion and never ruffle the surface of the mining field when it happens to be calm—which is not often in these days of compressed energy says W. Oliphant Bell in the News- Advertiser. Not many people are aware that Princess Royal Island, lying quite close to the coast of Brit isb Columbia, between the extreme north end of Vancouver Island and Prince Rupert, has been the scene of mining operations for some time past. The island itself is a large one and contains several lakes, besides several natural resources, the chief of which promises to be mining. The Surf inlet Gold .Mining Company, which is largely financed by Vancouver capital, is now putting this to the test, and from all appearances, judging particularly by the ore, a considerable bulk sample of which is now on exhibition In one of the local broker's windows, there is every reason to believe that payable conditions can be met with, and indeed, if the following report is strictly correct, have actually been discovered. The scene of the present operations is about eight miles from deep water, reached for the most part by water across the chain of lakes referred to, which offer a portage, and thence by trail about a mile and a half in length. This report has been furnished by Mr. Fred M. Wells, who has been in charge of operations during the past winter, and was one of the original promoters of the company, It will be noticed that Hie report is really a record of the work actually performed, and the hypothetical element is not conspicuous, which speaks well for the veracity of the information furnished. The writer has examined :ln- ore brought down, and if il is representative of the vein as a whole eiml contains ihe values stated, which in view of the visible gold to be seen in some of the quartz is highly probable, there is some justification for hoping that this section of the Coast district will furnish Its regular quota of bullion to the general returns. The folowing is the report on the season's work: "The winter's work practically began in November, 1910, and this report will refer io work done since that time. The working force during the early winter wag very small, but was increased to seven men, which force was continued through the winter. Quite a lot of time was necessarily given in the fall to getting In supplies so that real work only began on the mine about the first of January. "After considering the several different points on the property, where the winter work could be done to advantage, it was finally decided to drive ahead on the 300-foot tunnel, following the vein. This plan was carried out, and up to the sixth of March an advance of a little over 50 feet was made. The vein up to the end of the 300-foot tunnel has been fully descrived in previous reports, and it will be remembered that the vein was rather weak at end of tunnel and low in values. "During the previous summer about ten feet had been drifted, which showed the ore increasing In size and since that time the entire drift has been in ore with a full face at the time of writing. The foot- wall has been kept in touch with and the hanging wall has not been broken into throughout this distance. The ore is very similar in character to that passed through along the first part of the tunnel, white quartz and iron pyrite and beautifully banded. "The tunnel has exposed about eight feet in average width of ore but it would be safe to figure on there being ten feet and the indira tions are that ore body is even wider still. "The gold values of the new ore body are even more remarkable than its size, and at a depth with other existing conditions guaranteeing its permanency. The ore has been sampled each day as the tunnel proceeded, taking large and general samples from the muck, checking up in the face and from the dump outside, and all assays have been made by Mr. J. O'SulIivan, with an especial guarantee of their accuracy, and the result of forty-five such samples gives a total avoreage of two ounces of gold per ton. The lowest assay received was $12, and the highest $96. Considering the fact that the results represent nothing but general samples, with no specimen assaying, they establish a $40 average for the whole 50 feet of drift, which in so large a vein is uncommon, and of a very promising character. "The undeveloped ground ahead of us has always been of great in- terst, and while the present winter's work has been very successful, there is still a very large block of ground to be developed. "In the first report on the property extending the present tunnel along the vein ahead was advised, with the strong possibilitie of finding ore. It was also mentioned that a cross-cut from this tunnel would be made to the west vein, working Hie same through the present tunnel. This advice was given from Information gained ley a first visit to the property, without having access to the shaft em the east vein, which was full of water. This shaft, which is 50 feet in depth, was supposed to be following down the footwall of the same vein that the tunnel had followed for the 300 feet, and if continued down to the tunnel level wolud intercept it at about 40 feet from its face, or 260 feet from the mouth, thus establishing the fact that the ore body in the shaft and in the tunnel were the same. "As soon as possible in the summer the shaft was unwatered and a rough survey made proved that the course of the shaft was very different from what had been expected, and that it was possible to represent another ore body quite Independent of the large vein then being followed. If this theory was corect, this ore body would He to the west of our tunnel and between that and the west vein. "With this information there was a strong inclination to crosscut west from the end of the 300-foot tunnel with a view of cutting Ihis shaft ore body and continuing on to the west vein which up to that time had contained the highest grade ore. "Bearings taken on the first visit to the property showed the east and west veins were rapidly coming together, but the first few feet of work, extending the 300-foot tunnel showed a change, the footwall bearing more to the east. While inclined to crosscut at the 300 feet, still it was apparent that if the vein were to continue its old course at 50 feet ahead the distance between the two veins would be materially shortened, and for the purpose of working the west vein there would be no real difference, so it was decided to follow the vein ahead for another 50 feet and so determine its course, as well as prospect it, before attempting the crosscut. "The result of this work, outside of developing the bi gore body described above, has been of interest in proving the course of the vein, for while the first few feet bore to the east the wall from that on to the 50 feet swung to the west sufi- ciently to get back to its natural position, and if the vein should continue on its last course there will be little use for crosscutting, but simply to follow this vein to the junction, which in this case will not be very far. "It is not likely that this last course will be maintained very far, it being mort apt to get back to its old course and in that event it will extend some distance to the junction. Assuming then that the surmise is right, regarding the shaft ore body, and that it lies to the west of the tunnel, it will not parallel this tunnel but will conform more to the course of the west vein and would form a junction with the east vein, which we are following at some point between the two. "Since it is 200 feet from the bottom of the shaft to the tunnel level the dip of that ore body may easily change to such an extent as to connect and prove to be the same as that in the tunnel or that the junction would form much earlier than the slope in the shaft would indicate. These points can only be proven by development, which will be done In due time. "To give some idea of the probable value of the new ore body we will estimate the amount of gold in a block of ore ten feet wide, running 0 feet along Ihe tunnel and 100 feet above and 100 feet below the present level, assuming lhat the ore would continue that far. This would yield .roughly, 10,000 tons of ore, at $40 per ton would be $400,000. "While the vein was good and strong at the end of the work and contained good values, still it could hardly be expected that such u high grade ore body should extend a great distance. It is more likely that large bodies of lower grade will be developed, which with the rich chutes proven in both veins will make a good working average for the whole property."

PROPERTIES SOI,I) Royal Canadian Group to Ue Developed—Mining Deals in the Siocan The announcement of two important mining deals, one concerning the Royal Canadian on the Granite road and the other involving the well- known McAllister group near Three Forks was made in Nelson. The Royal Canadian group of six claims, wbich was purchased by J. L. Stocks some years ago from the Duncan Mines Company, and sold early this year to J. Gordon Savage, of Calgary, and was later optioned to H. Manse! Cook, has been purchased at a large advance upon the price paid by the Calgary capitalist, by a Victoria syndicate. The mine is located near the Granite-Poorman and is equipped with complete buildings. The group consists of five claims. On the Royal Canadian claim there is a ledge which has been opened up with four drifts while on the Colorado vein there is one drift. The total tunneling is about 1,000 feet. There are said to be 2,500 tons of ore on the dump. "The indications are very favorable on this group," said Mr. Cook, "and some good ledges are being opened up. The tunnelling on the property amounts to between 6,000 and 8,000 feet and there are good values in copper, gold and silver. The group consists of the Pingree, Mayflower, H. G. N., Snowdrift, Snowdrift fraction and the Summit claims." The ..icAllister group, which is located near Three Forks, has been disposed of by W. M. Bennett, of Sandon, to a Spokane syndicate, who are incorporating a company to operate the property. The McAllister consists of four claims and was one of the best known mines in the boom days in the Siocan. A considerable quantity of silver-lead ore was shipped during the early days and it has been under steady development, for some months. In Nelson the other night were two well-known Sandon mining men, T. McClurg, who has just returned from Spokane, where he has been in connection with a large mining deal, and Ij. B. Barker, who has a lease and bond on the Wonderful mine near Sandon. Mr. Barker has been developing the property through the winter. The bonders of the Wonderful is a company which shipped altogether with a number of lessees who have had the property at various times, between $75,000 and $100,- 000 worth of silver-lead ore from the mine. Development on the enterprise mine on Siocan Lake, which is under lease to S. S. Fowler, Is progressing rapidly with good results. Over 400 feet of tunnel have been driven on the property since Mr. Fowler took the lease last fall. SHERWIN & WILLIAMS =PAINTS- COVER THE EARTH.
