Price, Five Cents soyf,/ ORE UNDER WRECK Princess Nay's Passengers Have Gone South—Crew Standing by Steamer. Mineral Shipment. Turned Into Foundation For Forward Part of the Wreck The arrival of tho C. P. R. steamer Princess Beatrice in port on Tuesday evening brought to Prince Rupert further particulars of the condition of the Princess May. The vessel will easily be floated again, it is anticipated, provided no storm arises in the meantime to work devastation. The May was resting easily according to the latest reports. The Beatrice made a special trip to Juneau for the purpose of taking the passengers of the May to their destination. Capt. MrLeod and the crew remained at the scene of the wreck to do what they could to relieve the steamer until the salving ontfit arrived. There was never any danger to the passengers according to the account obtained from the arrivals. The best of order prevailed and the officers and crew behaved in a becoming manner, looking well after the passengers' safety. Between 4 and 6 In the morning the boats from tne May were kept busy landing the passengers on Sentinel Isle. In some cases the landing was made at rallier rocky spots and women had to join with the men in working out their own salvation in climbing the slippery rocks. At the lighthouse every attention was given them until they were taken to Juneau. Immediately after the passengers were got off the work of salving the contents of the staterooms was commenced and the crew was also put to work moving provisions, etc., forward to the part of the vessel which is elevated and out of reach of the water. A considerable quantity of ore was on board the vessel and this was dumped over from the forward batch while the crew built it up under the forward part of the steamer to prevent any danger of the vessel breaking. Tons of this ore were used and was found very convenient for the purpose as the forward part of the vessel would otherwise have been ■without support at low water. The position of the May indicates that just before the vessel touched Pilot Richardson saw the danger and attempted to avoid the reef. He was too late, however, and the steamer idled up. She has a long tear on the starboard side and two large holes are punctured by the rocks on her port side. At low water the bow of the steamer Is elevated about 2 5 feet above the rocks. With good weather there should be no difficulty in getting her off.

City Engineer Says Location of These Is Natter for Practising Surveyors. He Disapproves of Municipality Undertaking This Duty — Would Give Grades The city engineer does not approve of the city undertaking the task of giving street lines to owners of property who want to build. He approves of givng the street grades, however, at a feet ot if 6. The engii eer's report was presented on Tuesday evening on a reference made to him from the council last week. Aid. Hilditch had brought the question up stating that he believed the city should give the street lines. After discussion it was referred to the city engineer and on Tuesday night the report was presented. Col. Davis pointed out in his report that the street lines could only be given by a B. C. Land surveyor and if the system was adopted of the city giving these grades there would have to be such a surveyor employed in the engineer's office. The report further pointed out that there was on record at the Government registry office the plans of the city and these were available for any surveyor so that the information necessary to give lines was easily obtainable. He did not know of any city that gave the lines and he could not recommend it in this case. On the other matter of giving grades, however, he was of the opinion that the city might weH^under- take that. The grade should be given, he thought, by the city and for so doing he suggested that there should be a fee of if 5 charged. On motion of Aid. Barrow the engineer's report was referred to the streets committee. There are nine steam shovels on the upper Skeena, some of them being of the 75-ton type. All but ons or two are at work and these last are being put together. GEN. BADEN-POWELL Head of Boy Scouts Movement Is Now on the Pacific . Coast.

A report on the question of a power proposition Fir electric lighting in the city is expected from the engineer at Saturday evening's meeting of the council. Several members o'f the council expressed the opinion at a recent meeting that the report would be a very ripe and careful'y considered proposition when it was put forward. Aid. Hilditch, who can be counted upon at every meeting to raise the question, wanted to know on Wednesday evening when the report could be expected. He could not see why this should be shelved. Aid. Pattullo at once rose and wanted to know what grounds Aid. Hilditch had for saying this was being shelved. It if were not so that the matter was being shelved, he wanted to know why Aid. Hilditch made use of such an expression. Aid. Hilditch said he wanted information. This seemed lo be taking a long time. Aid. Mobley explained that the city engineer was a busy man. He had three propositions to consider. He could say, however, that Col. Davis expected to have a report ready for the next meeting of the council. Mayor Stork said there was no attempt to shelve this. A local firm had made a proposition with respect to the matter and that was now before th'e engineer also. Col. Dav's would, when he reported, make a complete one. It would not, he felt, like some reports received, be 100 per cent below the cost. o J.

WILLIAMS IS PRONOUNCED SANE- SENTENCED TO TEN YEARS IMPRISONMENT G. T. .Williams, formerly proprietor of the Talbot rooming house in this city, was sentenced yesterday morning to ten years imprisonment by Judge Young. Medical evidence was put in to show that the man was sane and that there was nothing to indicate that at the time he committed the act of setting fire to the building he was not in a position to discriminate between right and wrong. The judge expressed his readiness to accept any medical evidence that would relieve him of the finding him guilty of the charge laid against him. He, however, could not find anything in the evidence that pointed to anything else but that of guilt. On the opening of the case yesterday morning the question of the admission of the medical evidence came up. W. E. Fisher, the crown prosecutor, proposed to put evidence in to establish the question of the sanity of the prisoner. The judge said that he felt that the issue would have to be tried now as It had begun. The contention of the defence was that the man was not responsible at the time lie committed the act. Unless It were shown that the man was now Insane and as such incapable of conducting his defence the trial would have to proceed. L. W. Patmore, who represented the prisoner, said that he had been informed by the medical men who made the examination that they were of the opinion that the accused was not Insane. The issue that the man was not in a position to conduct his case could not, in view of this, be put forward. It would only be a waste of time to do so. Dr. McNeill was recalled in order to make an explanation. He said that when he gave his evidence a few days before It was based on a hurried examination of the accused. It was not made for the purpose of seeing whether he was Insane or not. He wished to modify his answers given at that time to that extent. Dr. Eggert was then called as a medical expert. In reply to the crown prosecutor he said that he had examined the accused as to his sanity. He had examined him on three occasions since the court last sat. He found no symptoms of insanity. Dr. McNeill was with him on one of these occasions. Both agreed on the point. In reply to the court, witness said he had,examined the accussed very closely as to the Injury to his head. He had been told that he had had his head hurt by the falling of a bolt. He had been taken to the hospital and was told that It was only a scalp wound. After leaving the hospital there had been no signs that Indicated that the brain was affected. Later lie had had pains which indicated that there was an abscess formed Going back to the hospital he had undergone an operation for this abscess when It was found that there had been formed what Is known as "dead bone." Asked if such Injuries as were described would affect one mentally, witness said that such sometimes resulted. Further questioned by the judge, witness said that the injury in all probability had caused an infected scalp wound with subsequent formation of "dead bono." Such Injuries have sometimes caused mental deterioration, but accused showed no evidence of such. Under cross examination by Mr. Patmore, witness said that paralysis, partial paralysis or partial comatose condition would have followed had there been a pressing on the brain. Submitting symptoms which Mrs. Unmuth in her evidence had said she detected In the accused, witness was asked If these symptons did not Indicate that the man was mentally affected. Witness said that the symptoms were such as might be expected to be found in a wide variety of af fections. The symptoms must be taken in conjunction with actions to determine insanity. He had gone Into the history of the case and the family history before coming to a conclusion in the matter. A man might have all the symptoms which were ennumerated but yet distinguish between right and wrong. Such symptoms when shown in the case of an insane person usually produced a type that was inclined to boast of any acts. Witness aid he had made a careful study into all the circumstances connected with the fire, and he found that accused knew the wrongness of the act. He realized what was right and what was wrong. Mr. Patmore in an effort to press the insanity claim to its fullest, attempted to submit In the form of a question evidence that had been given at the trial and to press it upon the witness in order to ascertain if he would not classify these acts as those of an Insane man. The judge Interfered, however, contending that the only way In which these , could he put would be as an hypothetical question. The witness could not sum up the evidence for thai purpose of reaching an opinion with- • out having both sides of the easel before him. Mr. Patmore argued that lie had brought in what could he regarded [ as expert evidence In the persons of those who had had experience in asy-! lums and in caring for persons whose minds were affected. These were in a better position to decide whether the man was insane than was even a medical man. They had had opportunities to study the man's actions. The judge differed from this He said that he could only be bound by Ihe evidence of medical exjierts on such a point. .Mr. Patmore said according to the evidence the judge must come to the conclusion that the man was "either insane or a low rogue." Ills honor replied, "Yes, he Is that. Nothing would have given me greater pleasure than for the doctors to have stated that the man is insane. I want to see it in your way, but I'm afraid I cannot. I do not like to think a man would do as he has done." Mr. Patmore pleaded for the greatest leviency In the case. The only way to havo proved the man insane would have been to have had a medical man examined him the day before the Are. This was impossible, of course. His Honor admitted the force of this and complimented Mr. Patmore by stating that the evidence that would be necessary to prove the position taken by him could not be obtained. Mr. Fisher, for the crown, lamented the situation into which the accused had got himself, but argued that the law must he enforced. Judge Young 'In passing sentence said he could come to no other conclusion except that he was guilty. lie had to make com nt un the seriousness of the offence, Apart from murder It-was one of the worst crimes in the calendar. Ac-c-usi-cl had selected the hour when mosl peo- ple were asleep. Hail in- been successful in his attempts it was appalling to think of what the results In loss of life and destruction of prop- city would have been. The lire department was an excellent one here, but the facilities for fighting lire were not all they should be In consequence of the rapid growth of tlie city. The crime was committed for a paltry sum of money, lie could assure the prisoner that even If he had been successful he would never have got $8,000. He must sentence him to ten years imprisonment. The convicted man showed little or no emotion on receiving the sentence bidding friends good-bye after It unmoved. Mining men are turning their attention more and more in the direc tion of the Skeena River and its tributaries, and it is prophesied that before next summer is far advanced there will be a decided rush into dif ferent parts of that, country, With railway facilities such as the G. T. P will soon offer the greatest drawback will be done away with and those interested will have the opportunity of getting quickly to the point they wish to go. As an evidence of the interest in the Hazelton district alone there are constantly being brought here accounts of rich finds. Ben Severson, a prospector, who has been around Babine Lake this summer, came to Hazelton recently with samples of ore from new finds close to the lake.' Some of the pieces were plentifully sprinkled with native silver, occurring as flakes and nuggets in the quartz. Other pieces were largely composed of what-passes for gray copper, lie is sending samples away for assays and upon the receipt of returns will be able to tell more of the value of bin claims. Prospecting for coal in Bulkley valley is being carried on more extensively this year than ever before. Many new seams have been found, some of them reaching over ten feet in width in places where for years it has been considered the seams were too narrow to be profitably miner. Work is being carried on vigorously and before fall it will be possible to tell something of the ultimate worth of the new finds. John Blume and Fred Roeger have made discoveries that have must promise. Several claims have been staked and some good ore samples brought in. The values are chiefly silver contained in galena and gray copper, and compare favorably with assays obtained in any part of the district. The claims staked are on both sides of Babine river, close to the Skeena. At present they are too far from transportation to be deemed of any great value, but if a rail- line is built up the Skeena to reach Groundhog mountain coal, what Is thought to be an extensive district would be at once opened up. These are but some of the most recent finds In the onp district which is being prospected to some extent this year. The Copper River promises exceedingly well also and there are vast fields yet to be developed in a mining way along the Skeena. DASTARDLY ACT (Special to The Journal) Chicago, Aug. 12.—J. C.

THE PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL Friday, August 12, 1910. NEWS OF THE PROVINCE Items of General Interest From Centres in British Columbia. Well Remembered Nanaimo.—Through the death of an uncle named Burns, Which occurred in Iowa four months ago, Miss Smith, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Smith of tbe Grand Hotel, Lady- smith, has been remembered in his will to the extent of $23,900. German Capital Vancouver.—British Columbia is attracting the attention of German financiers, according to Baron von Bredow and Baron Richtofen, who are at present in Vancouver. Both already own property in the province, having acquired it through their agent, Mr. A. von Alvensleben, and their present visit is a combined business and pleasure one. They state that more German capital is likely to be invested here should the inducements meet with the approval of capitalists in that country. What is Rock? Nanaimo.—Construction work on the city's sewerage system is at a standstill owing to a dispute which has arisen between Contractor Mac- dougall and City Engineer Waters regarding the question as to what constitutes "rock." In submitting to the council his statement of the work done "i„ia„ the past month with the request of payment of the same, the contractor included so many yards of rock which the engineer claimed was not rock at all, contending that that material should alone be classed as rock which could only be removed with powder. The council supported the contention of the engineer and refused to pay rock prices for what It contended was ordinary material, whereupon the contractor instructed his men not to come out to work. Unless his claim is paid at once the contractor threatens to enter suit against the city. Timber Sale New Westminster.—The largest timber berth that, has ever been put up for sale in Britisli Columbia will be offered by auction at the local crown timber office on Wednesday next. The berth comprises 23.92 square miles in township 20 on ihe east side of Adams Lake. The upset price is $162,203 and it takes a cash deposit of one-quarter of the purchase price to handle the proposition. As It is a difficult place to get tim- oer out of, it is probable that the purchaser will build a mill right on the spot and a railway to handle the lumber. The sale will be conducted by Crown Timber Agent Leamy. New Mining Town Comox.—A new mining town to be known as Wednesbury will shortly spring up in the Comox district of Vancouver Island. The town will be built in connection wlt'i the development work which the Canadian Collieries company is about to carry out The company which recently took over the holdings of the Hon. Jas. Dunsmuir is operating diamond drills in a number of places with a view to locating the best points for sipking new pits which will lead to the output of the collieries being largely increased. With the growth of the operations of the Island Colliery plant a large number of additional expert coal miners will be needed, and to procure the the management has entered into negotiations with the Imperial Federation League, of which Mr. Graham Forester is the British Columbia commissioner. The league will bring out a number of miners from the old country who will supply the needs which an enlarged scope of mineral labor demands. The extension of the mineral area of the Canadian Collieries company will lead to the establishment of a new mining townsite which will be called Wednesbury at the request of Mr. Norman Griffiths, the English member of parliament for the town of that name in the Old. Country. Mr. Griffiths is vice-president of the Imperial Federation League and is now on his way to Vancouver Island to make arrangements for bringing in miners who will be employed by the Canada Collieries company, which are controlled by Mr. William Mackenzie, president of the Canadian Northern railway, and a syndicate of Britisli capitalists. TELEPHONE SYSTEM Provision Is Hade to Take Over the Entire Undertaking by the City Council Garbage Disposal to Receive Attention — Other Questions Are Disposed of Tuesday evening's sitting of the city council was not a very lengthy one. The business was for the most part confined to the transaction of general business. The city clerk, as returning officer, made an official report to the -council of the passing of the telephone bylaw, and the bylaw was accordingly finally disposed of by the council. A second bylaw related to it was Introduced and with the consent of all the members put through its different stages. It authorized the taking over of the undertaking and the signing of the agreement. Accounts Passed Accounts to the amount of $1,242.32 and a pay roll of $4,293.28 were ordered paid on the recommendation of the finance committee. Aid. Pattullo, the chairman of the comlttee, called attention to the fact that In conectlon with the amount of the pay roll, a very considerable portion of it would be charged to capital account, It included the expense connected with the Woodworth Lake survey unci other work like that. Garbage Disposal The medical health officer recommended that the council take up the question of the collection and disposal of garbage. The matter was referred to the city engineer for report. Temporary Street Work Aid. Hilditch asked if he would be allowed to build a plank way on a street and then take It away. He •-xplalned that it was proposed to put in the drive way so that supplies could be got In as there was no roadway now. As soon as that was done the planking would be taken up and used about the building. His Worship suggested that a formal application be made to the council when he had no doubt permission would he granted. Later in the evening Aid. Hildltch made this formal application, when it was suggested that as a precaution the work should be subject to the city engineer to be ordered removed by him at any time so that the city might be protected. Aid. Barrow recalled the rule for charging for the use of the streets during building time and suggested in a jocular way that In this case Aid. Hilditch would be subject to 10 cents a foot per day. Aid. Lynch said that only applied to planked streets. Aid. Barrow: "This would be planked." (Laughter.) Permission was given. Food and Fuel Aid. Pattullo's bylaw relating to weights and measures, which has been designated as the Food and Fuel Bylaw, passed its second reading and was put through the committee stage. The bylaw proposes that an officer may- be appointed by the city to superintend the weighing of coal, etc., used in the city, but does not bind the city council to put it in force. .—o RAPID DEVELOPMENT OFFERS OF REWARD Scotland Yard and Its Policy Exempli fied in Dr. Crippen Case. Activity in lode mining in the vicinity of Hazelton commenced with the staking of the first claim on Nine Mile mountain two years ago. In that time new discoveries and their development has been rapid, j says the Omineca Herald, There are now five groups of properties under bond for large figures and one other! group incorporated. It may be said without exception they have profit-. able ore on the surface and to such, depth as their workings have pene-! trated. This is remarkable progress. I .Most of the Portland Canal mines; were staked nine years before capital was interested. Within sixty days there will be fifty or more miners at work opening up ore bodies within ten miles of Mazelton with a possibility of further additions before winter from new deals being put through. At the present rate of progress It will not be long before the question of treatment facilities will have to be dealt with In order that the mining companies may realize the percentage of profit that they are entitled to. Kates on shipments to existing smelters are prohibitive. Even the laying of rails to the nearest point to the mines will not be sufficient. "Blood-money" is no Longer Considered a Proper Procedure in Crown Cases in offering a reward of $1,250 to any person or persons giving information which might lead to the apprehension of Dr. Crippen, Scotland Yard was not reverting to the practice of many years ago of awarding "blood money" on the conviction of persons accused of murder. The objection to giving a reward for information leading to a conviction is that it produces false evidence, and innocent persons may suffer, but this objection does not prevail when the reward is merely for giving information as to a person's whereabouts, There are precedents in recent years for offering rewards for similar Information, though these offers have generally been made In regard to persons who were wanted on charges other than murder. The reasons why the practice of giving government rewards was discontinued is set out in Mr. Hall Richardson's book, "Police!" The reward system was practically abolished during the home secretaryship of Mr. Henry Matthews (Viscount Llandaff) and, in giving his opinion in support of the abolition of the practice, the right hon. gentleman said: "I do not mean that the rule may not be subject to exceptions, as, for instance, where it is known who the criminal is, and information is wanted only as to his hidingplace, or on account of other circumstances of the crime itself." These words, in the opinion of a high Scotland. Yard official, justify the offer of a reward on the present occasion. Before 1884 is was the frequent practice of the Home Office to offer rewards, sometimes of large amount, in serious cases. In 1883, in particular, several rewards, ranging from £200 to £2,000, were offered In such cases as the murder of Police Constable Boans and the dynamite explosions in Charles street, and at various railway stations. These rewards, like the reward of £10,000 in the Phoenix Park murders, proved ineffectual, and produced no<evidence or any value. In 1884 there was a change of policy. Early in that year a remarkable case occurred. A conspiracy was formed to effect an explosion at the German Embassy; to "plant" papers upon an innocent person, and to accuse him of the crime in order to obtain the reward which was expected. The revelation of this conspiracy led the then secretary of state (Sir W. Harcourt) to consider the whole question. He consulted the police authorities both in England and In Ireland, and the conclusions he arrived at were—that the practice of offering large and sensational rewards in cases of serious crime is not only ineffectual, but mischievous; that rewards produced, genarlly speaking, no practical result beyond satisfying a pubi.'c de- nu nd for conspicuous action; that they operate prejudically by relaxing the exertions of the police; and that they tend to produce false rather than reliable testimony. He decided, therefore, In all cases to abandon the practice of offering rewards, as they had been found by experience to be a hindrance rather than an aid in the detection of crime. These conclusions were publicly announced, and acted upon in two important cases in 1S84—one, a shocking murder and '.iolation of a little girl ut Middles- l-ji'ougli; the other the dynamite mite outrage at London bridge, In which case the city offered a reward of £5,000. The principle thus established has since been adhered to, without exception at the Home Office. The whole subject was reconsidered in 1885 by Sir Richard Cross in a remarkable case of infanticide at Plymouth; and again in 1880 by the right hon. member for Edinburgh (Mr Childers) in the notorious case of Louisa Hart. On both occasions, after careful consideration, and with the concurrence of the best authorities, the principle was maintained, and rewards were refused. "Since 1 have been at the Home Office," said the Home Secretary of the day, "I have followed the rule thus deliberately laid down and steadily adhered to by my predecessors. I do not mean that the rule may not be subject to exceptions, as, for instance, where it Is known who the criminal Is, and information Is wanted only as to his hiding place, or on account of other circumstances of the crime it self. In the Whltechapel murders, not only are these conditions wanting at present, but the danger of a false charge Is Intensified by the excited state of public feeling. 1 know HAYNOR BROS. 1 1 House Furnishers Located temporarily, since the Are, in Dunediii Block, corner of Second , » Avenue and Eighth Street.

The claims of the Alberta city were put forward in a letter from the city council, and also by its mayor, Mr. R. R. Jamie- son. There was little discussion on the point. Calgary was the choice of the delegates, the selection being unanimous. The election of officers resulted as follows: Hon. pres., Lieut.-Governor G. H. V. Bulyea, Edmonton, Alta.; president, Wm. Pearce, Calgary; first vice-president, F. J. Fulton, retiring presdent, Kamloops; second vice- president, Mayor R. R. Jamieson, Calgary, Alta.; treasurer, C. W. Rowley, Calgary; executive, C. W.

Palmer, Fruitlands, B.C. Messrs. M. .Burrell, Grand Forks, B.C., A. M. Grace, Medicine, Hat, Alta., and J. T. Robinson, Kamloops, were also nominated for the executive, but their names were withdrawn, making all the electons unanimous. o AID BRANCH LINES WATERWAY ON PRAIRIES The Cost of Navigation Route From Winnipeg to Edmonton Preliminary reports received at the public works department at Ottawa, indicate that surveying along the Saskatchewan river for which a party wa3 sent out some time ago, Is going ahead, and by the time parliament assembles there will be available preliminary estimates of the cost of the proposed waterway for grain from Edmonton to Winnipeg. While not officially stated, it is roughly estimated that the work necessary to navigation along the Saskatchewan can be done for about $15,000,000. This is exclusive of the construction of locks to overcome the Grand Falls. In some places the river Is six feet ii depth and In others forty, and it will require much dredging. It seems to be a sure thing that the waterway will be built, and If the estimates are received In time, to remove any doubts as to Its feasibll- it, a preliminary appropriation is expected next session.

Premier McBride Hints That He Will Consider This Next Session. Canadian Northern Negotiating Foi' Further Assistance in Railway Construction When Premier McBride made the announcement of aid to the Canadian Northern last session, there were nints that this was but the beginning. The aid applied only to the mainline It was generally understood that other assistance would be sought for branch lines and that the Premier was prepare'd to grant It. This Is borne out by a statement made by Premier McBride at Kamloops recently when he said:— "I have recently been in conference with D. D. Mann, vice-president of the Canadian Northern, relative to the extension of the lines of the company on Vancouver Island and the mainland of the province.' said Hon. Mr. McBride. "Of course it is essential that following the completion of construction of the mainline of the railway It should have branches which may serve as traffic feeders. It is probable that in order to bring about further developments of various portions of the province through the furnishing of transportation facilities, the government may consider the advisability of lending such assistance to the railway as will bring about the object desired. However, it may not be that the assistance granted for proposed extensions of the Canadian Northern system will be as great as that given under the agreement for the building of the mainline and the Victoria & Barclay Sound railway. "The Canadian Northern is desirous of constructing an additional hundred miles of line on Vancouver Island. "Such an extension there would mean building from Alberni north to Quatsino Sound, near the northern end of the island at a locality now unserved by rail transportation "The company will also build branches into the Okanagan and the Kootenay. The question of the granting of aid to the building of these oranches and extensions may be dealt with at the next session of the legislature." o "I wonder what the teacher meant about the singing of my two daughters?"

PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL GREAT NORTHLAND Hon. Frank Oliver on the Country Along the Route From Edmonton to Dawson. The Vast Territory is of Incalculable Value to the Dominon of Canada Hon. Frank Oliver in an interview given in Vancouver upon his return from his overland trip to Dawson by way of Edmonton and the Peace River, Intimated that It was oa-s of pleasure purely. His description of the territory and its poslbillties Is extremely Interesting. "The first 2,400 miles of the journey," said Mr. Oliver, "was by rail to Edmonton; thence 100 miles with team; thence 160 miles with canoe; thence 80 miles In a scow; thence 200 miles In canoe; steamer, 100 miles; team, 16 miles; steamer, 1,300 miles, landing us at Fort McPherson. The portage from McPherson to the headwaters of the Porcupine is called 60 miles. It is a liberal 60, with mosquitoes also more than liberal. More than 4,00 miles down the Porcupine waters by canoe, and we landed safely at Fort Yukon. The rest of the way is by palatial steamer ana the railways, and is counted easy sailing. "I deem my trip this side of Fort Yukon nothing unusual as a feat in travelling. In fact, I think that aside from the portion provided with the established means of conveyance foi steady travel that the trip is not so marvelous, but of course it is a long trip, and one over a course seldom covered in one continuous jaunt, and possibly has never been covered over the same full course as I am travelling in as short a time as x shall make. "We found everything serene and all traders and settlers prospering along the route. In the Mackenize valley the vegetation was high. We were there the last of June, and I was surprised to find the growth so rank at that time. The Mackenzie Is a vast river, with a wide valley, largely boggy, but doubtless ofs, a nature that can be drained. Hundreds after hundreds of miles of fine land are there. If the Mackenzie river only penetrated the heart of the prairies instead of the remote region it does that valley would now be the one of the most productive in the world. But I do not say that it will not be occupied. The pressure of the population will see the Mackenzie country brought into the range of desirability. It will be a country for homes. The trip from Edmonton to McPherson is northwesterly. Many fall to appreciate how much so it is. McPherson is as far west as Skagway. By this one can better realize how far towards the west one travels in going from Edmonton to McPherson. The turn to the west, however, is not until one is well along on the journey out from Edmonton, or near Fort Chlp- pewyan. "The mineral belt of the northern country is so vast that it is difficult to say how far it extends. However, from what I gathered ou the trip and data available I believe that the precious minerals may not be found in the Mackenzie valley unless in its most easterly reaches. The formation does not seem favorable for gold and such precious mineral except In that extreme portion. Along the course which 1 followed the resources to be gathered In mining most likely will be in the form of petroleum and natural gas, in the Athabasca region; salt, in or near the Great Slave and the Mackenzie districts; coal In the Mackenzie and possibly other portions; and sulphur on the shore of the Great Slave lake. It is said there also is galena in some portions. Timber is plentiful along the whole course, and the lakes and streams are of considerable value. "Studying Hie country as a field for human habitation, the chief question is that of growing crops, and raisins herds. 1 cannot say how far north success might eventually be experienced, but I feel safe in saying it will be much farther north than many have Imagined. The possibilities for agriculture will be revealed In time, and I should not be surprised that some time that part of Canada will sustain a large population. Yukon likewise has Its resources, all of which are well known here. "I am persuaded that this region Is of Incaluable value to Canada, and 1 feel thai future generations will look on the Northland with far greater appreciation of the true worth and the vastness of the resources than do* the people of the Dominion and the rest of the world in this day."

Some ordinary paper was being made one day at a mill in Berkshire, when a careless workman forgot to put in the sizing material. The whole of the paper made was regarded as being useless. The proprietor of the mill desired to write a note shortly afterwards, and he took a piece of waste paper, thinking it was good enough for the purpose. To his intense annoyance the ink spread all over the paper. Suddenly there flashed over his mind the thought that this paper would do instead of sand for drying ink, and he at once advertised his waste paper as "blotting." There was such a big demand that the mill ceased to make ordinary paper and was soon occupied in making blotting only, the use of which spread to all countries.

WITH APOLOGIES The Journal has ever since the issue of its first number carefully refrained from thrusting upon Its readers concerns that have to do with this publication and this office. We were not vain enough to believe that the citizens of Prince Rupert were very much concerned with respect to the personality of the one who .guides the destinies of the paper, They were more concerned we were convinced, in getting the un- garbled news than in reading of the troubles which the management of The Journal had. We are still of the same opinion. It is, therefore, with apologies to our readers that we deviate from the .course at this time and reluctantly bring ourselves somewhat into the lime light. Circumstances have arisen, however, which we feel calls for such an explanation as we now give and we trust our readers will overlook the breach in good taste that we feel obliged to make. A campaign has been carried on by a section of the press in this city which appeared to have for its object the belittling of The Journal. That, the objects aimed at have been unsuccessful was but the consequence that any newspaperman would have anticipated under the conditions. The city council has been brought into what, by grace, we may call the discussion. We want to make it perfectly clear that The Journal has asked no favor from any member of the city council. We never asked a member for even a share of the printing. Without any reference to ourselves the council decided to call for tenders in the matter of printing. We accepted the situation as a matter of necessity. We were unsuccessful in our first tender for work from the council because we were underbid by another firm. We were successful in the next bid because we in turn were the lowest tenderer. We have got no work from the city council that we did not have to enter Into competition for, which is more than any other printing establishment in the city can say. We are not offering any comment at this time upon that condition of affairs, but it shows that neither from the members of the council nor the officials of the city hall have we depended for any business. In our younger days the most of us had to meet competition in the school room and on the field of sport. We were taught then to take defeat or victory in a sportsmanlike way. The lessons taught then should surely follow us into real life and we should be expected to take defeat Willi grace, and success without vain boasting. We may now be excused If we explain at a little length the reason for our presence In this city. It Is over four years ago that we decided to locate here because, as a journalist actively engaged in that calling, we were given opportunities to "size up" the situation on this coast and were convinced that this was to be a great city. We have never since that time had any reason to doubt the estimate then formed or to alter our deter- + minallon to take part in the development of the city. We were among the first of the newspapermen that visited the site of Prince Rupert after its selection as the terminus of the G. T. P., and before any business places could be established, when the location stood practically as nature left it with only the slight alterations which a small party of O. T. P. engineers under Mr. Bacon and Mr. Pillsbtiry were able to accomplish in the shori time they had had at their disposal. Our Impressions of tbe townsite and the future of the city which were very optimistic were given to the public in an article that found very wide circulation, not only In the English press of Canada, but also among the papers published In French. Never since that day have we ceased to do what, we could to advance the interests of Prince Rupert. Had the G. T. P. granted permission at the time to establish a paper on the townsite we would very shortly after that have established a paper here. The policy of the company, however, was against such a course and with alterations in the policy of the company respecting Its work on this coast and other circumstances arising, The Journal's appearance was delayed. But the paper is no intruder. Every reputable newspaperman on the Pacific coast of British Columbia was well aware of our intentions including that trail-blazer, tiie late John Houston, whose ability we appreciate after many years acquaintanceship during which we had excellent opportunities to study him as legislator and journalist. We reluctantly give publicity to matters dealing alone with ourselves. It is only in view of peculiar circumstances by which we have been subjected to a species of attack that we dispise—that of a covert nature In which by insinuation impressions are sought to be created that would prejudice The Journal in the eyes of the public. We know the West well enough to realize that this will not have the desired effect and for that reason we might possibly have been well cpn- tent to have left the question alone. We, however, thought It wise to put the facts before the public and again ask their pardon for doing so. We will, as in the past, refuse to perpetrate upon our readers a recital of our own perplexities and troubles, believing that each lias enough of his own to forbid a desire to continually listen to those of others. | Sir Wilfrid | * Laurier's Tour * •$»>*.;. & •;♦ •;. *i*.;..;..;.,;..;..;. ►;,.;..;..;. .♦, %. ►*,,;, .j, ,$. $ ,j The itinerary of Sir Wilfrid Laurier's tour of Britisli Columbia lias been finally arranged as follows: Leave Banff, 9.20 a.m., Monday, August 15.

Dill'iculties Encountered in the Work of the Church in This Part of the Country The chancellor of the exchequer stated recently that there were at present four recipients of perpetual pensions. The first was the .£5,000 granted to Lord Nelson, drawn by the present holder of the title. The pension of £2,000 to Lord Rodney was shared today by Corisande Evelyn Vere, Baroness Rodney, and Lord Rodney. The £720 to heirs of the Duke of Schomberg was taken by the trustees of the will of the late Henry P. Powys and Robert Gosling (each £360). A pension of £375 16s to Selgnor D'Auverquerque was now paid to the governor and company of the Bank of England This week the Anglican synod has been meeting here in St. Andrew's hall. The charge of Bishop Du Vernet, In view of the many perplexing problems that the church has to face in a new country like this and the rapid development that is taking place is of importance. The bishop's charge was as follows:— Reverend Brethren and Brethren pf the Laity:— While we have met as a Synod in this church hall on three former occasions, this is the first time that we extend to you a welcome to the City of Prince Rupert. When we met here three years ago Prince Rupert was little more than a railway surveyors' camp with a few shacks and tents, now it is an incorporated city with many miles of streets rapidly filling up with houses. It is a seaport with many lines of steamships calling here, and already railway trains are making their way up the Skeena River, bringing nearer and nearer to those of the interior tho hope of easy transportation. Assembled here in this city, which is destined to become a great metropolis, the centre of a mighty development in the northern half of this province, we of the Diocese of Caledonia, which embraces the same region as members of that historic church which began Christian work in this neighborhood fifty-three years ago must have felt the thrilling interest of the present moment as wc watch the unfolding of events and endeavor to do our part in laying the foundation foi the moral and spiritual welfare of a nation In the West. In reviewing the year since last we met as a Synod, we must first mention some of the losses which the church has sustained. Last May tho whole Empire felt the shock of the unexpected death of him who while occupying the highest position in the realm was ever a loyal member of the Church of England. King Edward VII will long live in history as the great Peace Maker of his age. Bishop Dart's Death In this province the Church of England has met with the loss of a bishop who by his fidelity to duty and consistent Christian character en-, cleared himself to all who knew him. As I was an nndergratuate of King's College Windsor, N.S., when Dr. Dart was president of that university, I felt the death of the late Bishop of New Westminster as a personal loss. This Diocese has been called upon to mourn the loss of a devoted layman who labored with marked ability as principal of the Indian Industrial School at Metlakatla for nearly twenty years. Many of our native young men will remember with gratitude the debt they owe to Mr. J. R. Scott. Not only by death but also by removal we have suffered loss as a Diocese. Rev. M. H. Jackson, who for nearly two years did most efficient work at Atlin was obliged on account of his wife's health to leave up and take work where he could be near expert medical advice. We have also met with a serious loss from fire. The beautiful new church at Essington, only opened by me a year ago last month, was totally destroyed by fire early in the morning of June 8. This second loss of a church building in less than eighteen months has been a staggering blow to the Rev. W. F. Rush- brook, but thanks to the S. P. C. K. insisting upon a larger insurance before giving a grant we shall be enabled to build a smaller church with the insurance money and local assistance In the way of labor given, without appealing for putslde help. From our losses let us turn to our gains. It was my privilege on St. James Day to take part In the consecration of Rev. A. U. De Pencier as Bishop of New eWstminster. Having labored In the same diocese with him as a neighboring clergyman for some years I feel that the Church in this province has been greatly strengthened by the promotion to so high a position of one so familiar with Canadian Church life and so vigorous In action. The southern boundary of this Diocese Is the northern bound ary of the Diocese of New Westminster. For example, one side of the river at Fort George is in our Dlo cese, the other in his.

As Prince Rupert is not only a growing city but also a convenient centre from which to work outlying missions, I am most thankful to be able to announce that I have secured the assistance of two clergymen, Rev. T. C. Des Barres, B.A., formerly curate in charge of St. Jude's Nottingham, and Rev. W. G. James, B. A., formerly rector of Pincher Creek, Alberta. While not neglecting the centre, but giving it men of different gifts we shall be able to do more In the way of ministering to the small settlements which are springing up in the neighborhood. The Stickine Mission Ever since I came to this Diocese I have had on my conscience the abandoned Mission to the Stickine Indians. There were two difficulties in the way of re-openlng this Mission—the man and the money. Rev. Frank Palgrave, as a holiday trip, revisited this Misison last summer and brought me such an appealing account of the Indians still loyal to the hurch of England, still waiting for us to send them a missionary, that I could not refrain from doing my utmost. The way seemed to open wonderfully—the Indian Department promised a grant for tho day school at Tahl-tan, kind friends in England made a generous donation, and Rev. T. P. W. Thorman accepted my call to return with his son from England and reorganize the work which he laid down on account of his wife's declining health seven years ago. After a dangerous trip up the Strlcklne In a gasoline launch lie and his son arrived at Telegraph Creek on June 9, and a few days after reached the Indian village of Tahl-Tan, where he found things which he had left In the Mission House seven years before untouched —a tribute to the honesty and loyalty of the natives. He opened the day school at once and soon had fifteen scholars in attendance. It Is a matter of rejoicing that our Church and Mission House at Tahl-Tan are once more in use and that the Indians who have waited so patiently are again being ministered to by one who can talk their language. The Church has advanced during the year not only in the way of more e'ergymen being brought into tho diocese, but also in the way of new missions being opened. The transfer of Rev. Wm. Hogan from Port Simpson to Masset has placed at the entrance to Masset Inlet one eminently adapted to minister to the settlers who are beginning to fringe that remarkable water-way Into the heart of Graham Island. .New Masset has been given regular Sunday services and the congregation there are ready for a church building. A few months ago Stewart was only a hamlet of half a dozen log houses. Today it is a town of about 2,000 inhabitants. We have there a church and a parsonage with Rev. W. E. Colli3on in charge of this new mission. Provincial Organization Forced on account of the railway to tear down our church and mission- house at Inverness, we have built on a better site a building consisting of church, with rooms attached, which the Rev. J. H. Keen has found most serviceable during the fishing season, Another step in advance which we as a church have taken this year has been the incorporation of the Synod of the Diocese. While the Bishop has for some time past been a "Corporation So'e" to hold church property In trust, yet with the growth of our church work it will be found more satisfactory to have church property vested in the Synod. This can now be done under the Act of Incorporation of March 10, 1910. Turning to matters which effect the church in this province, I have to report that a forward step has been taken within the last few week^ in the way of preparing for some kind of provincial organization. While I have expressed myself on former occasions as in favor of as simple an organization as possible, it seems that under the constitution of the General Synod, there is no other way of our organizing than in the form of a Provincial Synod, realizing this I have attempted to draft a constitution for a Provincial Synod, which, while safeguarding our Diocesan Rights, will allow us to take united action as a church in British Columbia. The chief work assigned to a Provincial Synod by the General Synod is the subdividing of Dioceses and the appointing of Bishops. Naturally this vast missionary diocese will be the region most affected by this if we agree to the formation of a Provincial Synod, therefore in the draft, which has met with the approval of delegates from the other three dioceses in this province who were in Vancouver, July 6th, and which I hope to submit for your consideration at this sesison of the Synod, a clause is inserted which will protect the Interests of a missionary diocese founded by a missionary so ciety. By resolution of the General Synod the whole question of the formation of an Ecclesiastical Province of Britisli Columbia depends upon whether the dioceses Involved "desire to form such." As we hope to have another session of our Synod in September of next year, we need not take final action now, hut we should fully discus the question. Theological College Another matter of provincial importance which has given me most anxious thought is the question of Theological colleges. We are building for the future and we should build wisely. We have an open field before us. The Provincial University and the two proposed theological col- lges—St. Marlr.'s and Bishop Latimer —are still In a state of flux, nothing as yet crystaiized. Surely no words can express the importance of starting right. Let me repeat what I said in my charge of last year, for these words suggested a poslble solution to a most difficult problem: "The comprehensive character of the Anglican church is its glory. Within certain limits men holding divergent theological views can yet be loyal churchman. This being the case, the only way to ensure harmonious action between men of different schools of thought Is by the frank recognition of these differences It so happens that the prevailing type of chiirchmanship In Southern British Columbia is of one kind, and the prevailing type of churrhmanshlp in Northern British Columbia is of another kind. The first step, therefore, towards united action is a frank recognition of this fact and the establishment of a feeling of mutual confidence. For this reason it is much to be regretted that an attempt has recently been made to form a theological college for the whole province without any consultation with the authorities of this Diocese as to a basis of agreement and without any guarantee that on the teaching staff of this college there will be any representative of that school of thought which predominates in this Diocese." The solution suggested by these words may under God's blessing yet be accepted. As my words upon this vital question will be read far and wide by those interested on both sides, not only in this province and Eastern Canada, but also in England, I shall state even at the risk of being somewhat lengthy, the posi- (Continued on Page Five) Friday, August i2, 19i0.

ANGLICAN SYNOD (Continued from Page Four) CARE OF EXPLOSIVES Warning Hns Rcen Given to Those Engaged in Work The building Inspector has made a tour of the different places where blasting is being done and given a warning that the greatest care must be taken to avoid any danger from leaving explosives where they may be a menace to life or in any way endanger the public. The matter came before the city council some days ago when Aid. Mobley presented a case of explosive caps which had been picked up by a child playing. The child was actually hammering a cap when discovered. Only that It happened to be a little damp there would have been disastrous results the alderman pointed out. The mother had later used a hairpin to investigate what was In the shell which likewise might have caused an explosion. Prince Rupert stood a good chance of being a city of maimed people If there was not more care exercised by those using explosives. It was decided to have the building inspector visit all places where blasting was going on and give warning. The caps complained of had been left where some blasting had been done, and picked up by the child. Aid. Pattullo proposed to have the bylaw looked into and if provision was not already made to have severe penalties attaching to such carelessness. At a subsequent meeting the report was brought in by the building inspector that he bad visited all these places and given warning that the explosives were to be kept under lock and In charge of one of the gang. o Subscribe for The Prince Rupert Journal now. Hon which I have taken. It will be remembered that this Synod at its last session confirmed the stand which I then took by passing the following resolution: "Tthat this Synod declines to recognize any theological college as being for the whole church of this province without this Synod having due representation on the governing body of the same." This was at once met by the supporters of St. Mark's College offering to descind their, provisional constitution and give this Diocese proper representation. After consultation with our diocesan delegates, Rev. J. H. Keen and myself, this principle was embodied in the new constitution. There yet remained the still more difficult question of a representative' on the teaching staff which was men tloned to me as a second matter of vital importance. This led me to suggest to the authorities of St Mark's Colege a scheme of an affiliated school in which lectures on controversial subjects would be given by professors in sympathy with the line of teaching imparted. Not being asked to act for those at Vancouver who were promoting BishopLatimer College, my suggestion took the form of an affiliated Diocesan institution taking the students of the final year for lectures on Eccleslology, or the doctrine of the church, the ministry, and the Sacraments, but I made this suggestion, which was freely accept ed by St. Mark's College, with th- earnest hope that it might open thi door for the affiliation of Bishop La timer College on similar lines. A few days ago it was my privilege to meetin Vancouver the promoters of both colleges with our Diocesan delegate, Mr. G. W. Cowan, M.P., present to support me. Negotiations are still in progress and no formal action has yet been taken, but I believe there is good hope for at least a measure of co-operation. Perhaps I could not be doing the cause of truth and harmony greater servico than to outline the foundation upon which we are endeavoring to build. The church throughout the Dominion of Canada by resolution of the General Synod has agreed upon a common standard known as "The Preliminary Examination for Holy Orders." All the theological colleges of whatever type of churchmanship accept this, and the ground covered in the different courses of study is practically the same. There is a com mon Board of Examiners for Divinity Degrees with representatives upon this Board from all the theological colleges. Further in this common standard set by the church as a whole there is a frank recognition of the different schools of thought in the church. This is done in the way of alternate text books. Still further if a candidate chooses certain text books, as allowed, the examiner is a member of the board in sympathy with the teaching contained therein. Surely it is an easy step which must com- mend Itself to all broad-minded churchmen to allow, in a college professing to be a provincial institution the teaching upon controversial subjects which Is embodied in author ized alternate text-books to be given by professors in sympathy with the views embodied therein. Such teach ers on controversial subjects being supported by voluntary contributions of interested donors. Upon such non controversial subjects as Old Testament Exegesis, the Canon of Holy Scripture, Apolegetics, Christian Ethics, Homiletics, Elocution, etc., there can be united action, all stu dents attending lectures by the sama professors supported by the whole Church. The only serious objection which I have heard raised against this scheme is the question of resi dence, the spiritual life of an institu Hon is as potent an influence as lecturing. A boarding house for th„ students, however, is not a vital part of a provincial college. The simple expedient of two residences, each with Its own Dean, meets the objection. The outcome would be this: Ono "Anglican Theological College of British Columbia" affiliated with the provincial unlverslay, with a handsome building on the university grounds, containing lecture rooms, library, reading room, convocation hall, etc. All lectures to be delivered in this college, with two adjacent residences—"St. Mark's Hostel" with a warden, and "Bishop Latimer Hall" with a principal, both being not on'y deans In residence, but members of the College staff of lecturers. All students would register at the ont college but would be free to choose their residence, and alternate set ot lectures on certain subjects. Thera would be a common board of exam iners as outlined and a diploma issued by the one college. If untrammelled by the association of the East, we in the West can at the very foundation of things agree | heartily upon some such broad and united policy as this and escape tho scandal of two rival colleges, we shall be setting an example to the whole church in Canada which will redound to the glory of God and the advancement of His Kingdom ol Truth and Love. Indian Lands In regard to the Indian land question I take the ground that the Indians are wards of the Dominion Government and that if they have any grievances It Is for the Dominion Government to take up their cause with the Provincial Government and see that they get their rights. I deem it unwise and unnecessary to stir up the minds of the rank and file of the Indian bands throughout the country by circulating petitions and asking them to raise money for lawyers to fight their battles. I am glad to say that no clergyman In this Diocese has done this. As a church we have appealed to the Dominion Government and received the assurance that earnest efforts are being made to obtain a decision which will be recognized by all as final. In facing the future, we, as a Diocese, while doing our utmostjn the way of self-support through contributing to our Diocesan Mission fund, must of necessity look for assistance in our pioneer work from the church in Eastern Canada and in the Mother Land. We are deeply grateful to the English societies known by the letters, C.M.S., S.P.G., S.P.C.K., C. & C.C.S., as well as to the Missionary Society of the Canadian Church and the Woman's Auxiliary. A month from today our brethren in Nova Scotia will be celebrating on the histortic spot the 200th anniversary of the first Anglican service in Canada. While we cannot be present in person we can in spirit stretch forth our hand from the Pacific to the Atlantic across the vast Dominion of Canada and give the Diocese of Nova Scotia in the extreme East the heartfelt greetings of the Diocese of Caledonia in the far West. "We are not divided All one body we One in hope and doctrine One in charity." Christian love above everything else is the bond which binds us to gether. May we as a Synod in all our deliberations feel more than ever that while there are diversity of gifts and differences of opinion we are all working for the one end under the leadership of the One Master Christ or King, to Whom we would once more bend the knee and take the oath of allegiance that we may the better serve, under the Banner of the Cross, our day and generation in the uplifting of humanity. The financial report for the year showed that there had been iaised in the diocese $5,338.68. The total receipts for the diocese was $17,- 004.67, there being $11,671.99 contributed from outside the diocese. A balance is left on hand of $;,- 475.19. Dealing with the question of Indian marriages, the committee recommended that the government pro- provide proper facilities for the recording of Indian marriages, and that the Indians be urged to have the ceremony performed among their own tribes by the resident missionary. Another recommendation of the committee urged the Synod to press upon the city the necessity for a by-law regulating the time for young people without protection being on the public streets. SPORTS VISITING Till: CITY THE CITIZEN'S LOAN It is a mistake to suppose, says a Paris contemponary, that the dignity of Marshal of France does not exist. The first law for the reorganization of the army passed in 1875 maintains the title, the conditions to be denned in a subsequent law to be passed later. This provision has never been fulfilled, and no one has been appointed. Yet the minister of war recalls the existence of the dignity in a recent official memorandum on the duty of a soldier. He enumerates how every man is to submit to his superior the soldier to the corporal, the corporal to the sergeant, right up to the general, who Is subordinate to the "Marechal de France." "Johnny," said the boy's mother, I hope you have been a nice, quiet boy at school this afternoon." "That's what I was," answered Johnny. "I went to sleep right after dinner, and the teacher said she'd whip any boy In the room who waked me up." ATTELL AM) MOHAN MATCHED Abe Attell and Owen Moran will appear in a twenty-five round sparring match billed for the featherweight championship of the world on Wednesday night, August 31, if Jimmy Coffroth carries out his plans, says a San Francisco despatch. The promoter declares that It will/be a no-decision affair, and that It will be left to the newspapers to pick the winner. He declares, further, that while he has not consulted with the officials of the state In reference to Is right to handle the match, he believes it is a boxing match pure md simple, and that as such it will be permitted under the laws of California. The outcome of this bout will be awaited with much interest, not only from the standpoint of the match Itself, but also because of the attitude that may be'assumed by the officials. Since the late affair in Reno the boxing game has been unusually quiet in San Francisco, and following the announcement of Governor Gillett no matches have been held in San Francisco save the four-round bouts. Whether the question will be raised round bouts remains to be seen, as between the ten and twenty- Should this match be put on, it will be the fifth meeting between the two featherweights. Attell and Moran have had two fights at Coffroth's Colma arena, one of twenty-five and the other of twenty-three rounds. They also had a ten-round match in New York, and quite recently a ten- round go in Los Angeles. RACING YACHT World Tourists .\rv Spending a Few Days Here Mr. Stonhal, who is in charge of the local branch of the Bank of Britisli North America, is enjoying a visit from his brother and his wife who are making a tour of the world. Coming from Australia here they will spend a little time in Prince Rupert before starting across the continent by easy stages on the way back to England. This city has won the heart of Mr. Stonhal, and he only laments the fact that he cannot make a longer stay with his brother here. In the manager of the bank of British North America, the city has a firm friend who may be depended upon to impress his visitors with the importance of the place. o SAVED BY A CAT Draftsman in Mr. Barker's Office Miraculously Avoided Injury The Victoria Yacht club will be represented in the international races for the Alexandra cup at next year's regatta by a fine yacht. Any doubt that may have existed In the minds of local yachtsmen was removed at the last executive meeting of the Victoria Yacht Club, when it was announced that C. Bennett Thompson and H. P. Simpson had agreed to furnish the necessary money to have a boat ready for next year. An- application will immediately be made to the cup trustees for permission to build the racer under universal rules, as advocated by Ted Geary and others at the last meeting of the international association held here recently. It Is not anticipated that the trustees, although known to favor the Vancouver idea of adopting international rules, will refuse permission but, in any event, a yacht will be constructed. The sentiment of the meeting was "We want the cup," and "Ted Geary must look to his laurels." As soon as the trustees render their decision to the local club respecting the rules, plans will be obtained from Fyfe or some other famous designer and the craft will be built In a local shipyard. At present, the Alexandra cup is in the hands of the trustees who declared the races at Seattle last year "no contest." What might have been a very serious accident was fortunately averted by the merest chance yesterday morning. A large stone, weighing about two pounds was thrown up by a blast near the government buildings and sent through the window of W. .L. Barker, architect. The draftsman, H. Rogers, has his desk directly in front of the window and sits right in the path which the rock followed. Fortunately he had left his place for a moment to watch a playful cat, which the workingmen were trying to get out of the way. Had ,it not been for _this little incident, the rock, without a dqubt, wou'd have struck the draftsman and the chances are that it would have been attended with fatal results. The stone made a deep abrasion on a railing as well as breaking the window. There is room for more care in the blasting operations here. It would appear from such a case as this that the blanketting in connection with the blasts is not done perfectly enough. o FEWER MEETINGS Council Discussed the Question of AI lev;. ing Bonus on Money Advanced for Telephone. Aid. Hilditch Regards Such a Course as Means of Fostering Public Spirit cJmJ,#**i5hiM"<hS,IM,4,***,MhM,*****S * Cleaning Black Goods Where black must be worn In summer, as for mourning, it is hard to keep it from getting gray and dusty looking. A .frock must be well shaken as soon as it Is taken off and the hem of the skirt gone over with a stiff brush. Then dust carefully with a fine whisk, using a soft velvet brush or piece of black crepe for silk or net trimmings. This treatment should he insisted upon where a maid Is kept, and other wise should be done by the wearer. When the habit Is once established it does not take long and a frock Is always ready when needed. If the material has grown gray or shiny it can be freshened by wiping off with alcohol. This is particularly good for black hats, and does not hurt crepe if carefully applied. Where black goods are much spotted they can be cleaned with common brown soap—such as is used in the kitchen. Sponge well with a thick suds of the soap, rinse and press on the wrong side or under a thick cloth to prevent shininess. When mud stains remain on a black skirt after careful brushing they can often be removed by rubbing with half a raw potato. Do not use ammonia to clean black gowns. This is a common cleanser, but makes the material, especially woollens, rusty. Cottons or linens arc apt to turn gray unless carefully washed. Black starch should be used. City Council Will Hold Only Three Sittings a Week in Future The city council, with the completion of a lot of the urgent business connected with getting the municipality under way, has decided to meet less frequently than in the past. Last evening on adjournment the council rose'until Saturday evening. It is the intention in future to meet only three evenings a week. Since the election the members of the council have been meeting practically every night in the week except Fridays and Sundays. At the meeting Wednesday evening all the members were present and quite a little routine business came up for consideration. The fuel and food bylaw was put through its final reading. Street Improvements A petition was presented asking that Sixth avenue from Fulton street to the junction with Summit avenue be put to grade. The petition was referred to the city engineer for report. H. H. Roe petitioned for the privilege of putting in a retaining wall for the purpose of bringing his place to grade on Second avenue. This was also referred to the engineer. o INSPECTION OF FOODS Regulations Have Been Passed Covering the Protection of the Public An order-in-councll has been passed at. Ottawa bringing into force regulations governing the inspection Of preserved fruits, vegetables and milk under the meat and canned foods act. The regulations apply only to the Inspection of canned foods for expori from Canada, or from one province to another, Tlic> are similar to regulations now in force governing cleanliness nnd sanitary conditions in factories and slaughterhouses handling meal for export trade. Ii Is provided that nil In connection with the taking ovei of the telephone system by the city, the committee of the council having charge of that matter Is now busily engaged going through the legal processes connected with that work. Five trustees, on the advice of thij city socilitor, have been appointed to take over the works pending the final transfer to the city. These trustees were selected from the city hall staff so as to have them available on short notice. They are the city clerk, tha city assessor, the city accountant, Mr. Stewart, and Mr. F. S. Clements, assistant engineer. The accounts of tha company will have to be audited before the city pays over the necessary money to meet the present demand, but the transfer will be made just as quickly as it can be done. Aid. Hilditch at Wednesday evening's meeting of the council raised the question again of the remunerating of the citizens who contributed money to take over the telephone pending the city acquiring it. He asked if the citizens who so generously gave their money to hold this franchise for the city were to receive only the actual money put In. His Worship said that this had been settled. It had been decided to return only the actual money put in. Aid. Hilditch thought this was hardly fair. He thought the citizens who put their money up should be given at least bank interest. Aid. Mobley said he felt like Aid. Hilditch, but in view of the fact that the members of the council held some of this stock and they were so notoriously crooked now, he did not think it wise to grant any more than the actual amount. Aid. Naden suggested that a vote of thanks should be passed by the council. He moved in this way more particularly because there were men who were not voters who had come forward very generously and put up money In this connection. Me referred to Messrs. Law and Westenhaver. Aid. Mobley said this action on the part of the citizens had been of great benefit. He felt tha! the citizens who contributed the money were entitled to far more than interest, but these men had expressed themselves as not wanting more than the return of the money put in, and he thought in view of all the circumstances it was better to let it stand at this. Aid. Barrow and Aid. Smith moved that a hearty vote of thanks be tendered the citizens for their public spirit in coiling to the assistance of the city and contributing the funds to purchase the telephone system. Aid. Pattullo In replying thanked the council for the appreciation shown. He suggested that a bonus be paid the shareholders outside the members of the council. He would not accept any bonus If offered, but he believed there were others who would. Aid. Hilditch wanted this done to keep up the public spirit. If it were not done he would fear that It would be difficult perhaps to again enlist assistance in such a work. Mayor Stork said that the citizens had received the benefits In the shape of a municipally owned system. Aid. Naden sajd he did not believe they could foster public spirit in the way sugegsted by Aid. Hildltch.

The Newest Battleship It is four years since the first Dreadnought made her appearance, and it is interesting now to notice the improvements that have been evolved In this type of warship during this time, says an English exchange. H. M. S. Vanguard, the latest addition to the Royal navy was built in the shipyards of Messrs. Vickers, Sons & Maxim, at Barrow. She is 490 feet long, has a beam of 82 feet and displaces 19,250 tons, as compared with the 17,900 tons of the original Dreadnought. A number of "water-tube" boilers provide steam for turbines of the latest design, producing between 24 and 25 thousand horse-power. Four propellers give her a speed of 21 knots an hour. The engines, boilers, shell, powder, torpedoes, auxiliary machinery, work-shops, and stores are all carefully protected; firstly by an armored deck 2% 'nches in thickness, running the full ength of the vessel; and secondly, by 2-inch side armor. In addition to this, the coal bunkers art so arranged as to encircle the engine rooms and thus give further protection, tor ten feet of coal will stop most shells. The ship i". steered by two rudders which can be worked either by steam power or by hand. That part of the vessel above the armored deck is protected by side plates and an upper deck of 2-inch armor. The stern is taken up by the crew's quarters, whilst the bows are given up to those of the officers. The result is thai the quarter-deck which in all pre-Dieadnought battleships is sacred to the officers, is now the habitation of the crew—an arrangement which is much more convenient in that the officers have direct access to the bridges and "control station." The main armament of the Vanguard consists of five barbettes of 9%-inch armor; each enclosing two twelve-inch guns of the latest pat- fern. These are so ararnged that eight guns can be fired on a broad side; and as the shells employed weigh 850 pounds apiece, the total broadside weighs 6,800 pounds. The weight of a single twelve-Inch gun is 58 tons. Directly under each barbette is a Epace extending to the full depth of the vessel surrounded with 3%-inch armor in which is to be found the hydraulic machinery for turning, raising or lowering the guns, and the hand gear which is provided in case of an emergency. Lifts are also provided for bringing tbe ammunition up from the store rooms below. On the top of each barbette is mounted a pair of 4-inch quick-firing guns, fitted with light shields. These are provided in order to repel torpedo attacks. Ten others of the same type are distributed about the upper deck for the same reason. Six machine guns completes the list of guns. As it is all important that the captain of a ship Bhall be as much as possible out of danger of the enemies' fire, a battleships is always provided with a small circular shelter constructed of very thick armor, known as the "conning tower," from which he may control the vessel In comparative safety. These "conning towers" are fitted with compass steering wheel, telephones, speaking tubes, and keys for firing torpedoes; whilst slits are pro- ELECTRIO ENGINE Railway Locomotive Tluil Does Not Require Wires lo Assist it A remarkable railway engine, with ;- saloon hitched on, has just made a vi.-iy successful run from Glasgow to Gartsherrle, on the Caledonian & North Britain railways. The locomo- •tive i onsists ol three separate parts— a steam turbine, a dynamo for generating electricity, unci electric motors tor ihe actual ih i\ Ing. The boiler Is fixed at one end of lice engine, ,v,icli is a very large one; the gc nerator is situated in the centre, and consists of a Zotlly steam turbine working at 3,000 revolutions per minute directly coupled to the dynamo, which supplies the electric current to four motors; these motors give a direct drlce to tour sets ot heavy driving wheels. The nominal power of the locomotive Is one thousand horse, and considerable economy ii ruel is anticipated. All the advantages of an electric engine are obtained without recourse to external wires, and it can therefore travel over any lines. The exhaust steam is also condensed, so vided through which the occupants can watch an engagement. The Vanguard is fitted with a novel "coning tower." It is divided into two parts. The upper part is a duplicate of the lower and is armored with a complete wall of 12-inch steel. The two communicate through a trap door in the 6-lnch floor of the upper tower so that should the upper part be shot away the captain has only to slip through into the lower tower. Above the "conning tower" Is the lower and upper bridge and "chart room," from which the ship is controlled in time of peace. A third and single "conning tower" Is provided behind the rear funnel. Each of the two masts is fitted with a "fire-control station," at a height of auout 120 feet above the level of the water. During an action specially appointed officers are stationed here lo discover the range and to note the results of the firing, and telephone the results to the gunners. By a marvellous system of motors the officers in the control top can aim the barbette guns themselves. Each motion guided by the officer in the top for training the guns is transmitted directly and simultaneously to point the guns and also to fire them independently of the men in the barbette. Perhaps tne most interesting feature of H. M. S. Vanguard is the complete electrical installation that she possesses. Everything on board except the propelling engines are worked by means of electricity. The ammunition lifts are electrically worked. The anchor is weighed by means of an electric motor. The ship is lighted, the torpedoes are fired, boats are hoisted, and water pumped, all by electricity. Precautions, however, have been taken in case of a breakdown of the electric installation and hand gear is always provided. Electric searchlights are to bo found on the bridge, on the searchlight platform on the masts, as well as on the observation platform between the two rear barbettes. Some idea of the extent of the electrical installation may be gathered from the fact that more than 140 miles of electric wire is used in the ship; carried in cables nine inches in circumference from which smaller cables diverge every few yards. Now let us consider the cost of this leviathan. The hull with its fittings cost the Admiralty over $4,000,000; the searchlights and other electrical fittings, $250,000; the boilers and turbine machinery, $1,616,990; the torpedo tubes, $45,000. The steam and motor launches which she carries are worth $40,000 alone. The twelve-inch guns cost over $55,000 apiece, whilse the whole barbettes cost $550,000 apiece—$2,500,- 000 altogether. . Enormous as this cost is It would not be so bad if the cost of running the ship were not so heavy. She burns, for instance, about 18 tons of Welsh coal an hour, ..which works out at about $65 an hour— no small coal bill. The cost of firing one shell from a twelve-inch gun is $750; whilst torpedoes cost $3,000 apiece. The Vanguard is certainly a very costly warship, but we must never forget that—"The fleet of England is her all In all." neighboring states is not affected seriously during storage when only the changes in weight and losses in heating value are considered. The losses due to disintegration of the coal and to spontaneous ignition seem to be of far greater importance than any changes in weight or heating value, although they can not be expressed in figures for comparison. Aside from certain advantages In favor of storing coal under water, there seems to be very little to be said in favor of any particular method of storing coal. SCIENTIST'S TRAGEDY Death of Harry to. Cox Removes One Mho Sacrificed Life Mr. Harry W. Cox died at his residence In London. Behind this bald telegraphic an nouncement lies a tragedy, the intense pathos of which has rarely been equalled during the whole history of scientific research. Only forty-six years of age, he died a victim to the science of X-rays, of which he was a pioneer, and his death deprives the world of a man who gave up the whole of his life to the cause of alleviating the sufferings of others. Some fourteen or fifteen years ago, Mr. Cox, then a, smart and enterprising young electrician, took up X-ray investigation with enthusiasm. He worked hard at this new department of science, in which the late King anil Queen Alexandra took so much interest, and during the course of his research about twelve years ago, by acicdent placed the tube of the apparatus near his face, with the result that through the rays he contracted X-rays dermatitis, which in the end resulted in his death. Although knowing that he aws afflicted with this dread disease, Mr. Cox threw himself into the work of perfecting the apparatus, and so successful was lie. that he took out some eighty patents, one of them being a valuable invention which, by means of two radiagraphs, locates not only the position of a bullet, but also its depth, so that a surgeon can remova the' obstacle with the minimum of probing. This Invention proved of inestimable service during the South African war, and Mr. Cox's apparatus was used almost exclusively by the British forces during that campaign.

THE PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL MINERAL OUTPUT OF BRITISH COLUMBIA THE REPORT of the mines department at Victoria for the year 1909 has just been issued from the printing office. By it the value of the mineral products of the province for the year 1909 amounts to $24,443,- 025, which while it is less than that of 1906 and 1907. is still considerably greater than that of any other previous year. The tonnage of ore mined in the province during the year 1909, exclusive of coal, was 2,057,713 tons, a decrease from the preceding year of 25,893 tons, or 1.24 per cent. This total tonnage was produced by the various districts in the following proportions: Boundary, 71.03 per cent; Rossland, 11.55 per cent; Fort Steele, 7.28 per cent; coast district 1.92 per cent, al lother districts, 8.22 per cent. The number of mines from which shipments were made in 1909 was 89, and of these only 52 shipped more than 100 tons each during the year, while but 32 shipped in excesB of 1,000 tons each. Of these latter; 8 were in the Nelson mining division, 6 in the Boundary district, 5 in the Ainsworth division, 4 in the Slocan district, 3 in the Coast district, 3 in the Trail Creek (Rossland) division, 2 in the Fort Steele division, 1 in the Trout Lake division and 1 in the Queen Charlotte division. Coal Production The coal production of British Columbia in 1909 was chiefly mined by three companies—the Wellington colliery company, and the Western Fuel company on Vancouver island, and the Crow's Nest Pass Coal company in East Kootenay—these companies producing about 88 per cent of the total coal mined. Of the smallei collieries of the coast district, the Pacific coast coal mines at South Wellington and Suquash, V.I., mined about 70,000 tons of coal, and the Nicola Valley C. & C. Co. about 62,210 tons, while the Vancouver-Nauaimo produced about 10,000 tons, and the Diamond Vale company about 1,700 tons. In the East Kootenay field, the Hosmer and Corbln collieries each produced about 60,000 tons of coal during the year; neither ... u^txp eol- lieries is as yet in full operation. A new colliery was opened at Princeton, in the Nicola Valley district, by the Vermilion Forks M. & D. Company during the last month of the year, and shipped a few tons of lignitic coal. The Pacific Coast Coal company, as well as equipping its South Wellington colliery with direct railway connection with salt water and a shipping port, has opened up a new colliery at Suquash, from which it has already mined about 2,000 tons of coal. The old Gilnllan colliery at Nanaimo is now being operated by Henry Biggs—an individual-—who is producting coal In a small way. About sixty per cent of the gross coal output of the province was mined in the Coast district, and about 72 per cent of the coal, sold as such, was from that district. Of coke, however, the Coast district only produced about 5 per cent of the total amount made during the year, and of this over half was added to stock. The gross output of the coal mines of the province for the year 1909 was 2,400,600 tons (of 2,240 pounds) of which 5,780 tons were aded to stock, making coal disposed of 2,394,818 tons. Of this gross amount, 998,494 tons were sold for consumption in Canada, 678,137 tons were exported to the United States and 63,509 tons were exported to other countries, making the total amount of coal sold 1,740,140 tons. In addition to the sales there was used in making coke 394,124 tons of coal, while 260,554 tons were consumed under colliery boilers, etc. From the 394,124 tons of coal were produced 258,703 tons of coke, of which amount 7,199 tons were added to stock and 142 tons were used under colliery boilers, leaving the net coke sales of 251,362 tons. Of this amount, 210,884 tons were sold for consumption in Canada, while the remainder, 40,478 tons, was exported to the United States. Const Collieries The coast collieries mined in 1909 1,476,735 tons of coal, of which 5,346 tons were added to stock, making 1,471,389 tons, distributed from these collieries in 1909. This amount was distributed thus: Tons. Sold as coal In Canada...1. 862,088 Sold as coal in United States 324,748 Sold as coal, other countries 63,5091 boilers 923,429 Total sold as coal 1,250,345 Used under companies' boilers, etc., . . .. , 192,884 Used in making coke 28,660 Total 1,471,389 The total coal sutcs of the coast collieries for the year show, as compared with the sales of the previous year, an increase of 202,053 tons, equivalent to 19.3 per cent. The consumption of coal in that portion of British Columbia served by the coast collieries shows in 1909 an increase of 44,124 tons, equal to 6.1 per cent over the preceding year, while the amount sold for export to countries other than the United States also shows an increase of 33,- 626 tons, equal to 112.5 per cent. Export sales to the United States in 1909 show an increase of 24,303 tons, or 8.08 per cent. The smaller sales in 1908 were attributable to the California oil-fuel competition and imported Oriental coal. Coke Produced The production of coke in the Coast district in 1909 was confined to the one company producing the article, and amounted to 13,686 tons, of which, however, only 5,493 tons were sold. This was entirely disposed of In Canada. The remainder 8,193tons waj added to stock These figures show an increase in the coast output of coke, as compared with 1908, of 1,156 tons, or 9.70 per cent The coke export to the United States from the Coast district in 1908 was 3,118 tons, but in 1909 there were no exports at all. The reason for this is that the smelting plants formerly operating on Prince of Wales Island, Alaska, have since been shut down. In the Coast district, among the newer collieries that are beginning to make an apreclable output, maybe mentioned the Nicola Valley Coal & Coke company, which shipped in 1909 some 62,210 tons of coal, and this production wa^ limited uy the market which the C.P.R. freight rates would allow it to reach, rather than by the capacity of the mines. Adjoining this colliery is the Diamond Vale Colliery Company's property, which, though still in a state of development, mined in 1909 some 1,700 tons of coal. Vermilion Forks Mining & Development Company of Princeton, mined 150 tons of coal in 1909 On Vancouver Island, the Pacific Coast Coal Mines, Ltd., mined at South Wellington, a few miles south of Nanaimo, some 69,055 tons of coal. Railway and bunkers have been built at Boat harbor. Gilnllan colliery was shut down. Henry Biggs, as an individual, produced 1,236 tons of coal from the property. East Kootenay Field The annual returns of the eastern slope, or Alberta side, of the Rocky mountains are made to the govern- men of that province, whence they may be obtained by any one interested. Three companies were operating on the British Columbia side in 1909, viz.: The Crow's Nest Pass Coal Co., Hosmer Mines, Ltd., and the Corbin Coal & Coke Co., Ltd. The details of their several operations are given elsewhere, together with particulars of other properties at present under development. A description „, ...r coal field by the provincial mineralogist is given in this report, under the heading of "Coal Mining." By far the greatest proportion of coal is produced by the Crow's Nest Pass Coal Company, operating collieries at Michel, Coal Creek (Fernie) and Carbonado, the united gross output of which, In 1909, was 802,717 tons. Of this output 330,189 tons were used in making coke. The resulting coke amounted to 223,442 tons. Hosmer mines produced 60,- 324 tons of coal and 21.575 tons of coke. Corbln Coal company produced 60,824 tons of coal and no coke. The collieries In the East oKote- nay district made in 1909 a gross production of 823,865 tons of coal, of which 436 tons were added toe stock during the year, leaving the amount of coal distributed 923,429 tons. Of this amount, 365,464 tons were used for making coke, the resulting coke being 246,017 tons. The following table shows the disposition made of the coal output of this district:— Tons. Sold as coal In Canada.... 136,406 Sold as coal in U. S 353,389 Total 923,429 The amount of coke actually produced In 1909 was 245,017 tons. Of this, 142 tons were used under boilers, and the remainder, 244,875 tons, together with 994 tons taken from stock, was sold, making total coke sales for the year of 245,869 tons. As compared with the previous year, the coke production of 1909 shows an increase of 10,148 tons, or 4.3 per cent. Total coke sales show an increase of 5,260 tons, or 2.2 per cent. Coke sales In Canada show an Increase of 1,022 tons, or 0.40 per cent. Coke sales to the United States show an increase of 6,282 tons, or 18.4 per cent. Gold Mining The production of placer gold during the past year was about $477,000 as nearly as can be ascertained, which is $170,000 less than' was produced in 1908, being a decrease of 26 per cent.. Placer mining Is entirely dependent upon the water supply, which in turn depends upon the snowfall of the previous winter and the character of the spring weather -—variables upon which It is impossible to forecast—and the conditions this past season have not been favorable. There is no question but wnat, in the placer camps of the province, most of the more easily available deposits have been worked out, leaving only those the operation of which called for greater capital and plant, with greater attendant risks and less security of immediate profits. In the Atlin district the Atlin Consolidated Mining company's plant was again idle this past season, being under process of alteration to a design dictated by experience obtained. The Pine Creek Power company (Ruffner's holdings) was unfortunate in that the dam, constructed at the outlet of Surprise lake to conserve the . water for the season's supply, broke, and not only was the water lost, but much damage was caused to the plant by the sudden flood. The dam has been replaced by a more substantial structure, and it is expected that the satisfactory returns looked for last season will only have been deferred until 1910. McKee creek is now entirely controlled by one company, and wnile a very fair return was obtained this year, there is good reason to hope for better in the future. In the Dease Lake district the Berry Creek company again failed to do any tno;e work, and very little gold was obtained in that sect'oi. of the province. In the Omlneca district thj excitement of the previous seasjn over placer gold - findi on the Ingenika river and McConneil creek proved to be without foundation, and no product was obtained from these. In the Manson Creek section one of the mines produced about $10,000 worth of gold, but the other properties were not successful. In Caiibou In the Cariboo district none of the deep drifting enterprises have made a success and all are p, »...«cally at a standstill. A concentration of various Intersts into larger companies, with the consequent concentration of water rights, has enabled better plants to be Installed, and although there Is a small output this year, the larger plants are almost ready for work and should prove their utility during the coming season. In the Quesnel division the plant at Bullion has been idle, but J. B. Hobson is putting in a new plant in the Spanish lake division, while W. DuBois Is establishing a very Municipal Notice TENDERS FOR STRFIOT GRADING Atlantic Steamship Agency Total sold as coal 489,795 Used by the company in making coke 365,464 Used by the company under II. Boundary district made an increase of $35,000 in its gold output this year, despite the fact that the tonnage of ore mined in the district was lower than last year. About 86.5 per cent of the lode-gold output of the province was recovered from the smelters of copper-bearing ores; the remaining 13.5 per cent was obtained from stamp milling, etc. The only 'arge stamp mill in operation Is at the Nickel Plate mine, at Hedley, In the Osoyoos mining division, which milled some 31,000 tons of ore, and produced from amalgamation, concentrates and cyanlding some 16,200 ounces of gold. A couple of small stamps were at work in the Sheep Creek camp of Nelson mining division, working an exceptionally rich ore. Silver Ore The total amount, of silver produced in the province during the year 1909 was 2,532,742 ounces, valued at $1,239,270, a decrease in amount, as compared with the previous year, of 98,647 ounces and in value of $82,213; about 98.2 per cent of the total silver was produced from ores in which it was found associated with lead, the remainder being obtained from copper-silver ores. The Slocan district—including the Ainsworth, Slocan, Slocan City and Trout lake mining divisions—produced about 50 per cent of the total provincial output of silver this year, and the Fort Steele mining division about 23 per cent, all from argentiferous galenas. Lead Output The lead production of the province for the year 1909 was 44,396,- 346 pounds of lead, having a market value of $1,709,259, showing, as compared with the previous year, an increase in amount of 1,200,613 pounds of lead, or 2.8 per cent, and an increase in value of $76,460, or 4.7 per cent. The average market price for this metal for the year 1909 was a little higher than for the previous year. The lead production is this year, as usual, derived chiefly from tha Fort Steele mining division. Copper Mined The amount of copper in ores mined in the province in 1909, and smelted during the year, was 45,597,- 245 pounds fine copper, vmuea at the average New York market price for copper at $5,918,522. These figures do not take into acount smelter charges or deductions. As compared with the preceding year there Is, therefore, a decreased production in amount of 1,677,369 pounds, and in value of $321,727. There is a slight ..icrease in the Boundary district and in the Nelson mining division, with a heavy falling off in the Rossland mining division and in the coast districts. The average assays of the copper ores of the various camps, based upon the copper recovered, were as follows: Boundary, 1.41 per cent; Coast, 1.5 per cent, and Rossland, 0.75 per cent. Other Minerals There has been no iron ore mined in the province this past year, other than that necessarily mined in development work, and none of this has been Shipped, the reason being that there is no Iron blast furnace in operation within the district, and consequently no market for iron ore. There has been a comparatively small quantity of zinc ore produced tills past year, although the industry has not been neglected. The total amount of zinc ore and concentrates produced and sold during the year was about 10,000 tons, ranging from 38 to 48 per cent zinc. The only distinctly zinc-mining in tiie province SEALED TENDERS will be received bv the City Clerk until SATURDAY noon, AUGUST 27th, 1910, for the grading of Second avenue, between McBride street and Eleventh street.

It is not probable that either of these plants will be producing gold until 1911. The value of gold produced from lode mining in the province during the year 1909 was $4,924,080, a decrease as, compared with previous year, of $358,790 or 6.75 per cent. This decrease is due to a reduced tonnage and output in the Rossland camp, which Is only partly compensated for by Increased production in the Nelson, Boundary and Coast districts. The greatest increase In output has been in the Nelson district, where the output this year is nearly $100,000 greater than during the preceding year, and is now 50 per cent greater than it was in 1907. There was also an increased gold production in the Coast district, amounting to about $80,000 greater than the preceding year, due to a renewal of mining on Texada island.

Exclusive of the receipts of the past fiscal year, $66,610,000 has been received from the sale of parcels of land out of the original grant of 25,000,000 acres, and of this amount approximately $36,193,521 has been expended on the company's property, with the result that fixed charges amount to only $954 per mile This compares with $1,123 for the Great Northern, $2,279 for the Northern Pacific, and $2,795 for the Union Pacific. Canadian Pacific now holds notes amounting to over $18,000, representing part payments on lands. The Interest on these notes has enabled the company to pay an extra dividend of one per cent since 1906, making the annual interest rate seven per cent. The company is regarded as one ot the most expert and extensive colon iers in existence. It is the operator of a 3,000,000-acre farm, and to in come from this source, together with the revenue derived from the operation of a fleet of steamers on the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, and a number of hotels located along the line from Montreal to Victoria, contributed, It is conservatively estimated, $7,500,000 to the company's gross for the past fiscal year. An idea of the large receipts realized from the sale of lands may he gathered from the following: Acres Av. price Amount Year. sold, per acre, realized. 1910., 700,000 10.50 $6,650,000 1909., 370,646 13.52 5,085,517 190S.. 164,450 9.54 l,569-,16b 1907.. 994,4S0 5.92 5,887,377 1906, ,1,115,743 fl,S4 6.513,452 1905.. 609,888 4.SO 2,4-16,300 1904.. 923,854 4.10 3,807,248 1903. . 2,639,617 3,67 9,695,673 1902. . 1,689,068 3.29 5,277,762 1901.. 399, SOS 3.15 1,262,224 1900.. 26S.669 3.20 860,006 In 1901 the fiscal year changed from December 31st to June 3rd. The'figures for 1900 are for six months, January 1 to June 30, only. The above sales, together with prior sales, make a total, exclusive of 1910, of $66,610,000. The aver age price per acre for 1909, $13.52, Includes 69,963 acres of irrigated land sold at an average price per acre of $24.71. The company's irrigation works In what is known as the western block, consisting of 995,000 acres, made ready during the early part of 1909, some 353,000 acres of it; the greater part of this vast track was sold for about $20,000,000, or at an average price of about $20 per acre. Canadian Pacific is now extending Its irrigation work to still another block, comprising nearly 1,000,000 acres. Unsold lands now amount to about 13,000,000 acres. No estimate of the value of this land can be fairly undertaken, but setitng it down at the conservative figure of $10 per acre, the total value would be $130,000,- 000. Canadian Pacific has approximately $.'.■,000,000 of cash in hand. There is no reason to believe that the policy of the management in regard to keeping down fixed charges and raising capital by the sale of new stock, is to be abandoned. In 1904 the comically offered $16,900,000 new stock to shareholders at par; in 1906 and 1908, $20,280,000 and $24,336,000 respectively were sold at the same price, and in 1909, $30,000,000 was offered at 1.25. Since 1905 the Canadian Pacific hns paid out to stockholders over $46,000,000 in Common and aboul $13,500,000 In preferred dividends, and during th's period it has given subscription rights to new issues, worth In the aggregate $42,- 772, , based on average market values. The company is moving rapidly in tbe inidsi of a large programme of extensions and Improvements, The total mileage projected is about 635, of whhh 11 u miles are to be completed before the end of the autumn of 1910. The next year and the years succeeding it, it can be taken for granted that as large, if not larger, programme of extension will be undertaken. ■ o Vancouver, Aug. 12.—Port Mann, the townsite of the Canadian Northern Railway, opposite \'"'v Westminster, will be placed on the market this autumn, There the company will locate its car-building and machine shops, as well as lay out what it is claimed will be the largest railway yards on the coast. c MARINE NEWS OF THE COAST TO REPAIR SHEARWATER The Imperial government is calling for tenders for overhauling the sloop Shearwater as soon as she returns to Esquimau. A great deal of repair work will rave to be done to her. TRANS-PACIFIC SERVICES The Pacific Mail is planning the construction of two liners of the Atlantic type, vessels similar to the .Martha Washington for the transpacific trade. These steamers, It Is planned, will cost $3,000,000 each, and will be fitted up in the best of style to accommodate 500 saloon passengers. Mr. Scherwin, manager of the Pacific Mail line, speaking of the proposed liners, said: "These steamers are each to be 6 50 feet in length, with a 70-foot beam and will draw at the maximum 33% feet of water. They are to have 38,000 tons displacement, a dead tonnage weight of 8,000 and combined tonnage and space measurement of 22,000. "In the way of accommodations they are to have ample quarters for 500 cabin passengers, ■ 150 second class and 700 steerage or Asiatic. There are to be 100 bath rooms In connection with the first cabins. "They will exceed the length of tiie Hill steamer by 28 feet. Hill built two sister ships, the Minnesota and Dakota, at a total cost of about $5,000,000. Both had remarkable tonnage capacity." Within a few months two new- liners with modern passenger accommodation for saloon passengers are to be added to the Weir line, whose steamers are at present not a factor in the saloon passenger trade, carrying only ste-erage passengers and freight. These vessels, the Oteric and Luceric, modern 11,000-ton liners, will be contenders for the passenger trade. MISSION BOAT Rev. John Antle, superintendent of the Columbia Coast mission is ready for his first cruise in the new mission boat Columbia. It. is the intention to visit the various camps along the coast from Van Anda to Alert Bay, according to regular schedule, making the round trip about once in two weeks. With the old boat such an arrangement was impracticable. The new Columbia is equipped with a hospital and dispensary, everything being arranged in the most compact order, and there is ever a portable X-ray machine. Dr. Nivin, the physician, states that his pharmacy aboard the boat is fully equal to that of any physician in Vancouver, and larger and more varied than most. The operating room was equipped at a cost of $1,100, and is maintained by a Montreal lady who wishes her name withheld. The cabin of the boat is fitted with a folding altar and a melodeon, and can be transformed into a chapel in a few moments. The new boat Is one of the largest gasoline-propelled craft on the coast, being -00 feet long and 17 feet wide, with a draft of 6 feet.

OIL-CARRYING STEAMERS WIRELESS IN PACIFIC The minister for external affairs in the Australian government, Mr. Bat- hcelor, announces that the Commonwealth government has agreed to the recenimondations of the conference of representatives of the commonwealth, New Zealand, the high commissioner of the Western Pacific, the admiralty, and the Pacific cable board on the question of establishing a wireless telegraphic system in the Pacific. The federal government is now in communicate i i with the other p, r- ties to the conference asking for their concurrence. A number of telegraphists aie now undergoing a couise of training ia Sydney with a view to appointment as wireless operators when the Australian stations are established. The conference recommended that high-power wireless stations should be established at or near the following places in Sydney: Sydney in Australia, Doubtless Bay in New Zealand, Suva in Fiji and Ocean Island; the Sydney staton to be capable of communlcatng with Doubtless bay, that at Doubtless bay with Sydney and Suva, and that at Suva with Doubtless bay and Ocean Island, and that at Ocean Island wth Suva; and that such stations be capable of receiving and transmitting waves up to 6,000 feet, in addition to the ordinary commercial waves. Under the scheme proposed by the conference the commonwealth will Not so vary long ago there was great haste to build large steamers for the carriage of oil in bulk. Such steamers, it was known, had been making a great deal of money, and there were many who wished to share in what promised to be a rich and continuing harvest. Today the other side of the picture is disclosed. Recent reports from the Tyne speak of a considerable number of tank steamers as laid up, all of them comparatively modern vessels of large tonnage, and one of them a vessel which has never been to sea since her trial trip. On the surface, it would look as if there had been over-building of this particular class of steamer. In the face, however, of the oil "boom" this sfeems difficult to believe. There may be circumstances collected with the immediate condition of the trade which are responsible for the state of things described, and which may prove of a purely temporary character. It Is safe to say, however, that if anyone had predicted a year ago that tank steamers would be found lying idle at the buoys he would have been scoffed at. The situation, whatever its precise causes, is one that surprises a good many people, and it is certainly not welcomed by shipbuilders. BOUGHT RANGER Steamer Ranger', which has been lying on the beach at Skidegate, Q. C. I., has been purchased by Captain Victor Jacobson, of Victoria, and will be taken to the latter city under sail. Orders from the captain for a new set of sails for the steamer have been placed. These will be shipped north as soon as possible, and when the steamer has been properly fitted up she will be taken down by the captain. At piesent Captain Jacobson is at Skidegate overhauling the steamer and getting her ready for the voyage. The engines of the vessel will not be used on the trip, for, not having been used for so long a time, they are not in working order. It is not known what will be done with the Ranger on her arrival at Victoria. Captain Jacobson is the owner of the sealing schooner Eva Marie, which was formerly a steam craft, but has been converted to a sailing schooner. ROUND SOUTH The Cottage City arrived from the north on her way to Seattle, yesterday afternoon. She took on 24 first class passengers and a large number of steerage. BROUGHT EXPLOSIVES The G. T. P. freight carrier, the Henriette, Capt. Buckholtz, has returned to port from the south and is discharging cargo. She had a quick trip, taking on little other than coal and explosives. The coal was loaded at Boat Harbor and the powder at the new works on Bowen Island near Vancouver. She had a full cargo on the trip.
