Gold Medal Offered by Clialloner & Mitchell, of Victoria, to Encourage Tourists To the first driver of an automobile reaching Hazelton this year Challoner & Mitchell, the well- known jewelers of Victoria, will present a handsome gold medal. The contest will be conducted under the auspices of the Pacific Highway Association. Last year a party of Los Angeles automobilists were told it was impossible to tour in the direction of the Hazelton country. It is to correct such impressions and to attract automobile owners to a country where the scenery is magnificent and the roads as good as any in British Columbia that the contest was arranged. The run will be governed by the following rules: 1. Journey to start at entrant's option from any one of the following cities—Bellfnghdam, Blaine, Se- attle£ Tacoma, Vancouver, Victoria. 2. No ferry to be permitted of more than one mile in distance, except that with competitors starting from Victoria, the ferry journey between v ancouver ' Island and the Mainland will be permitted. 3. Traveling on railway cars or on any railway right of way not permitted, excepting at those direct crossings where route crosses railway right of ways. 4. Medal is to be awarded to either driver or owner of car, according to which registers with Pacific Highway Association for that purpose at start of tour. 5. Any car and any person shall be eligible to compete. 6. Route must be a continuous one, from the point of starting to Hazelton, with the ferry exceptions outlined under clause 2, and, excepting at ferries, must be made entirely under the car's own power. 7. A careful log of the route traveled to be kept, and a series of at least six dozen kodak or other photos to be taken along the route. A copy of this log and two prints of each photo to be turned over to Pacific Highway Association at end of tour; same to be in every way the property of the Pacific Highway Association thereafter. 8. Competitors for this medal to start whenever they please, and to take their own time. 9. The contest to be in no sense either a speed or reliability trial. 10. All other conditions of this attempt to reach Hazelton to be under direction of and at discretion of Frank M. Fretwell, Seattle, secretary of the Pacific Highway Association. o NOT A CANDIDATE Duncan Ross Says He Will Not Contest Any Sent at Next Election Campaign Duncan Ross is remaining in the city until navigation opens In the Skeena river whe he will leave for Hazelton to Inspect the worK done this winter on his contract on the Grand Trunk Pacific grade. The Liberals have taken advantage of the presence of Mr. Ross here to have him deliver a lecture upon reciprocity on Friday night. Mr. Ross has been mentioned quite frequently as a probable candidate In this constituency at the next Federal election. He says, however, that he will not enter the fight. He will run nowhere at the election, preferring to follow private life for a time at least. o Tbe Board of Directors of the Prince Rupert General Hospital will meet tomorrow afternoon in the court house. The Provincial Government is making arrangements for a thorough patrol of the timber lands of this part of the province during the summer. Geo. A. Kerr, of Kitselas, has been appointed fire warden for the Skeena District and others will be appointed for the Interior. A RECORD BREAKER Immigration From Old Land Expected to Reach Unprecedented Numbers This Year. Superintendent Scott Suys Accommodation on Steamers Is Booked Hooked for Six Months (Special to The Journal) OTTAWA, April 18.—Mr. Scott, superintendent of immigration, who has returned from his annual visit to the old country, expects the greatest emigration from Great Britain this year in the history of the Dominion. He says it is impossible to book either steerage or second class passage on any direct steamer bound for Canada for six months to come. In addition to this there are many others coming via New York and Boston. Mr. Scott predicts there will be at least 175,000 immigrants from Great Britain this year against 112,- 000 last year. o CONSULT ON SCHEME Engineer Thomson of Seattle Will Go Into Waterworks Proposition With Col. Davis. He Will Leave for Here Next Saturday and at Once Enter Upon Duties R. H. Thomson, chief of the engineering staff of the City of Seattle, is to arrive in Prince Rupert next week, when he will enter upon the duties of looking into the plans prepared by Colonel Davis of this city for a water supply for Prince Rupert. In company with an assistant, Mr. Thomson will visit the site of the water supply and inspect the work that is to be undertaken. He leaves Seattle on Saturday for this port. On arrival he will then go into the plans prepared by the city engineer with Colonel Davis and pass upon them giving such advice in his report as he may deem wise. By obtaining the services of Mr. Thomson, Mayor Manson and the other members of the council feel that they are getting the benefit of one of the most expert engineers on the coast. His services in an advisory way have frequently been called in requisition and in getting him to pass upon the plans of Colonel Davis it is felt that there will be every assurance that the proposition as finally passed upon by Mr. Thomson and Colonel Davis will be entirely satisfactory. The sum agreed upon for his services here by Mr. Thomson is $2,500 which is understood to be a large reduction from the original request made by him. o STEAMER IS LOST Spanish Vessel Sinks off Finisterre With Twenty-One Persons. Few Survivors Have Heen Brought Ashoi-e nt Operto, Portugal (Special to The Journal) OPERTO, Portugal, April 18.— The Spanish steamer San Fernando, bound from Huevalo for Liverpool, sank off Finisterre on Monday. Twenty-one persons were drowned. Four survivors were landed here by the steamer Portlmao. An addition to the city hall is being built for the convenience of the city assessor's department. Duncan Matheson, one of the crew of the Canadian Pacific Railway steamer Princess May, fell down the hatchway last evening while freight was being unloaded here, sustaining injuries to his spine. He was taken to the hospital where he is doing well under the care of Dr. Tremayne. It is expected he will be able to Join the vessel on her return from Skagway at the end of the week. POLICE BODIES FOUND Party Sent From Dawson Find Hen Frozen on the Trail. Herscliel Island Patrol Perished After Eating Dogs in Extremity (Special to The Journal) REGINA, April 18.—The mounted police patrol which left Dawson City in charge of Corporal Deniston, February 28 for Fort McPherson, came across the bodies of Constables Kinner and Taylor about 35 miles from Fort McPherson. Twenty-five miles from Fort McPherson they found the bodies of Inspector Fitzgerald and one other constable. The bodies have been taken to Fort McPherson where they were buried. The above official information has just been received at the mounted police headquarters here, and solves the mystery of the disappearance of the patrol from Herscliel Island, about which there has been concern for some time. The men had frozen to death on the trail. Ate Their Dogs SEATTLE, April IS.—A special to the Post-Intelligencer, says the men of Inspector Fitzgerald's party perished on the banks of the Peel River, after their supplies had given out and they, in their extremity, had eaten their dogs. It was in December last that Inspector Fitzgerald, accompanied by Constables Sam McCarter, Martin and T. Taylor, left the mounted police post at Herschel on the annual patrol. On February 1 word was brought Into Dawson City by an old Indian named Esau, from the Pel River, that he had spent a day with the patrol and that they were even then heading for Dawson City. Esau said that he had put them on the right road for Dawson, and left them to make the trip more rapidly himself. He described only four of the party but said there were five dog trains. Immediate'y a search party was sent out from the gold city, a party which returned a few weeks later after a futile search for the missing men. A second party has been sent out, but of the result of their search no word has yet been received. The route which the patrol was supposed to have taken is a variation from that which has been pursued for some years past. Plans for the patrolling of the north country are laid out a year or more in advance, and as no contradiction of the statement that Inspector Fitzgerald would visit Rampart House had been received at headquarters, it was assumed that such was the route to be followed. It is usual for the patrol to travel by dog train through the McKenzie delta and leave Fort McPherson about Christmas. Thence the party crosses over to the Yukon, to Dawson City. On the return journey, the patrol retraces its former route to Fort McPherson, but instead of crossing the McKenzie uelta, passes over the Porcupine, and down the Porcupine to Rampart House. From Rampart House they go over the divide to the Firth River, thence down to the coast, and cross again to Herschel Island. The trip generally takes in all some three to three and a half months. Both Inspector Fitzgerald and Constable Sam McCarter are men of many years' experience in the north, and few men are better fitted for the conditions of travel in the Arctic zone. One circumstance of the present winter which has given rise to grave anxiety as to the fate of the party is the fact that while it is usual for the patrols to rely in some measure on a food supply obtained from the Indians they pass on their route, there are no Indians hunting this winter in the territory which Inspector Fitzgerald's party was to have covered. To men inexperienced in the conditions of Arctic travel, the journey would be a most hazardous one. Danger from snowslides, from the cracking of the thin ice, which forms over the PARTIES IN THE FIELD START ROAD WORK Tsimpsean Power Company Will Begin Surveys in Connection With Proposition. Gas Plant May lie Instilled in the City Almost nt Once for Fuel and Light E. Brutinel, representing the Tsimpsean Power and Light Company has returned to the city from a trip to the intended source for power which the company holds on Khtada River, which flows into the Skeena about 42 miles distant. He expects to leave on Friday morning for the south on his way back to Edmonton. This summer, following his inspection of the location, Mr. Brutinel will have three survey parties put on the field to thoroughly go over the ground and prepare for active work. The survey for the works at the Khtada Falls will be carried out and very soon he expects to start work on the putting In of the works which are to develop power there for transmission to Prince Rupert. Before leaving he hopes to have an opportunity of going into the subject with Mayor ManSon with respect to his proposition so that there may be nothing in the way of carrying it out. The falls are 380 feet high and the location is such that by means of dams the head of water may be increased and an excellent power developed. In the meantime Mr. Brutinel's compnay is ready to start putting in a gas plant, using either coal or oil in the manufacture of It. This could be started almost at once and a supply for fuel and light particularly the former, could be made available for use in the city. Some time this summer this gas supply could be made available. Party is at Work at Stewart on Summer's Operations There. Men Leave' for Skeena to Make Start, Upon Trails for Season The work upon the roads and trails In the Skeena District has already commenced. At Stewart, where work is to be done on the streets, an early start has been made under the charge of C. L. Cullin, who will have supervision there in conjunction with C. J. Gillingham, who will spend most of his time in the Queen Charlottes. Superintendent Jennings will confine his duties to the Skeena, Porcher Island, the Naas and intermediate points this year and has already gone over the ground preparatory to starting up. This morning a party of men left for the Skeena to begin some work where it is possible to do so. Within a few weeks' time active operations will be under way in different parts of the district so that as much work as possible may be accomplished this season. o INDIAN SCHOOLS Agent Makes Selection of Sites on the Nans for Locating l"lnies of Instruction ON RIOTING CHARGE Twenty Men Are Being Tried For Creating Disturbance of the Peace Fine Inflicted by Magistral*- Carss for Contempt of Court for Failing to Appear CRIMINAL CHARGE Captain Sears of the Steamer Iroquois Will Have to Appear in Court. He Is Charged witli Manslaughter as Result of Coroner's Inquest Captain Sears, skippe; of the ill- fated Iroquois, will have to answer a charge of manslaughter in the courts. As a result of the coroner's inquest, and the investigation held by Captain Eddie, it has decided to lay a serious charge against the captain whose conduct was severely characterized by survivors of the wreck. It Is openly charged that he looked after his own safety by taking the only available lifeboat while leaving others, including women on the wreckage. The captain denies that he did other than what he felt was best to do to rescue these people. Captain Johnston, who saw the steamer leave on the day of the disaster, says she was top-heavy and be was fearful of her. o The motor fire engine Is expected to reach here tomorrow. Until its arrival the disposition to be made of it will not be decided upon. The city council will not meet this evening owing to the Hospital dance. The regular meeting will be held tomorrow evening. northern springs, is met on every hand. Inspector Fitzgerald is one of the best known men in the mounted police force. He has been stationed for several years at the farthest north police point In Canada, namely, Herschel Island. Over a year ago, after having spent three years as a constable and corporal of the police, among the Eskimos, Fitzgerald came out to civilization to visit his home in the Maritime provinces. It was then that he received his promotion to the rank of inspector. He is practically a young man. C. C. Perry, Indian agent in this district, has returned from an official trip to the Naas Indians. He inspected the different communities and found them busily engaged putting in their supplies of ooli- chans for the season. One of the principal objects of Mr. Perry's visit was the locating of the sites for three Indian schools that are to be built by the Domin ion Government. These will be made accordingly. An active start on the schools will be made in due course. The conditions among the Indians are very satisfactory the agent reports. o LILLOOET RETURNS In the police court this morning Magistrate Carss continued the preliminary hearing of the charges preferred against those taking part in the riot at Kelly's cut. Before proceeding to those charged in that conection several who were out on bail were called and the charges withdrawn. Inc'uded in the number was J. B. King. One whose charge was withdrawn failed to appear until a police officer had been sent. He said he did not know that he was to appear. Magistrate (3arss, however, reminded him that he was told to appear when let out on bail and fined him ?5 for contempt of court. About twenty are being tried upon the information tbat they, "with divers other persons, unlawfully, riotously and in a manner ejausing reasonable fear of a tumultuous disturbance of the peace, did assemble together and being so assembled together did then and there make a great noise and thereby began and continued for some time to disturb the peace tumultu- ously." W. A. Casey gave evidence relating the conditions as he saw them and testifying that rocks were thrown and that more than five shots were fired. He gave evi- \ dence of receiving the shot in his right hand whicn destroyed tbe joints of his first two fingers. His cross examination by W. A. Williams occupied a long time. Several constables are giving evidence also, the case being continued this afternoon. The hydrographic steamer Lillooet, under command of Captain P. Musgrave, has returned to these waters to continue the work of surveying the ways to Prince Rupert's port. The vessel has come to enter upon the season's hydrographic work in Dixon Entrance and other passages which must soon be full of shipping. The Dominion Government, under whom the Lillooet operates, realizes that no time is to be lost in preparing its charts for the trans-Pacific lines that must ply to and from Prince Rupert, and accordingly are keeping the vessel steadily employed during the summer in this work. . o CANADIAN IN DERBY Western Horse Has Been Entered in the (front Race This Year On May 31, the greatest horse race In the world, the Derby, will be decided over the famous course at Epsom. Especial interest will undoubtedly be taken in the race this year on account of there being a Canadian entry, Mr. R. M. Dale, of Qu'Appelle, Saskatchewan, having Kel d'Or, carrying his colors. Both owner and horse are now in England, the latter having been sent over to undergo thorough training at the hands of Sam Darling. Of the number of horses who are down to win in the Derby it is doubtful if more than twenty-five will go lo the post. In the past thirty years only on one occasion have twenty-five faced the starter, this being in 1901 when Mr. W. C. Whitney's horse, Volodyovskl, passed the winning post first. The next best to this was In 1906 when that famous colt, Spearmint, the property of Major Eustace Loder, won, there being twenty-two runners in that year. In last year's race, which was won by Mr. Falrlie's Lemberg, there were fifteen runners. o Don't forget the meeting of tho Overseas Club In the WeBlholme Lumber Company's hall at 8 p. m. sharp. All invited. A good programme will be discussed. STAKING ASPHALT Hew York Capital Has Become Interested in Deposits North East of Edmonton. The Districl, Is to Be Exploited for Pnrpos« of Finding Value That Lies in It The possibilities of the tar, sands and asphalt deposits on the Athabasca River, northeast of Edmonton, have attracted the atention of capitalists, who are preparing lo spend a large sum this summer in investigating and slaking claims. Word has been received in Edmonton that a capitalist of some prominence in New York will roach Edmonton In May, and will take a party north with him for the purpose of investigating the asphalt claims on the Athabasca, above Fort McMurray. le will also stake claims on behalf of himself and other New York men who have become interested and who purpose forming a syndicate to develop the claims. This is practically the first time that New York capital has turned its attention to the mineral country northeast of Edmonton, and has taken active measures to secure and develop claims. In his letter to local promoters, the New York capitalist who will come in Muy, stales that he Is confident that there is a future for the asphalt of the Athabasca country. Following the consent of the city council of Edmonton to have a test made of the paving possibilities of Athabasca asphalt, J. K. Cornwall is preparing to bring down from the north, at a cost of $120 per ton, a sufficient quantity of the asphalt to pave a small portion of an Edmonton street. This will result in greater attention being drawn to the possibilities of this mineral In the north, and there will likely be a rush for claims this summer. This evening in Melntyre Hall the Ladies' Auxiliary of the Prince Rupert General Hospital will give a el.-iiiie. in aid of the hospital funds. The tickets are on sale at Orme's and Kecley's drug stores. This Is the first dance since the l^nten sea- eeeeii and is sure to be very largely I 1 1 1 / ittended. L._L PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL Tuesday, April 18, 1911 BEAUCHAMP CLARK Some of the Characteristics Which the United States Representative How Man Now Prominently in Fore. ground Came to Be a Legislator The most influential member of the Congress that is about to meet to consider, among other things, the Canadian reciprocity pact is Hon James Beachamp Clark, speaker of the House of Representatives. Since he is the best friend Canada has in the House, we may be pardoned for referring to him familiarly as "Champ." It must be said that while we thoroughly reciprocate his regard for Canada, we do so because he unwittingly aroused this country to a realization of the meaning of the Taft-Fielding arrangement. To Champ Clark the word reciprocity is a synonym for annexation, and at a moment when Contenentallsts on both sides of the border were try- Ig to keep this fact out of sight, our friend Champ had the courage to declare openly for political union of the two countries, says the Mail and Empire. Champ Clark's influence on the proceedings of the new Congress will be due to three causes: His own personality, the office of speaker and his position as leader of the Democrats. At the time of his "break" in regard to annexation an attempt was made to represent him as a species of blatherskite, a rude joker, who was tolerated because of his geniality, and because he niade an excellent butt for the keener wits about him. The fact is that the big Kentuckian is one of the most cultured men in Congress, and was a college president at an age when many students are undergraduates. He is, moreover, a man of deep religious feeling, and is one of the most highly paid lecturers on Chautauqua circuits. In many respects he strongly resembles William Jennings Bryan, and is not less qualified than the Nebraskan to speak fbor the political party that has now a majority in the House of Representatives. Anything Champ Clark amounts to today is due primarily to his own courage and hard work. There was little behind him at the start, for his father was a peripatetic dentist, who traveled through the backwoods district of Kentucky pulling the teeth of human beings, horses or pigs with equal facility, and for the same price. Besides having one blue and one black eye, the chief characteristics of Clark, senior, were the ability to spout on various subjects, and a firm conviction that frequent thrashings were necessary for the education of children. Champ was self-supporting by tlie time he had reached fourteen, for he was then 'doing odd jobs and "clerking" in a country store, lie had managed to pick up more than a casual knowledge of reading, writing and arithmetic in tbe meantime, for he was a scholar teacher at fifteen. Some of the pupils were older and huskier than the teacher and Champ used to carry along a pair of revolvers to enforce his authority. Champ resolved to get a college education, and by almost Incredible striving he saved up J100. For safe keeping he put it in a hole in the wall, and when he went to get ii again he found that the rats had devoured the bank notes. It was a staggering blow, bul a rich man In the neighborhood, having heard of the calamity, generously offered to put Champ through college on i-nn- eliilon that be become a preacher. Tins offer Champ declined, and turned to his saving again, with tho result that he bad pul by enough money to lake- a course when be wns seventeen, six years later he graduated from the Kentucky University with highest honors. The day of his graduation he was offered the presidency of the Marshall College, West Virginia, and being asked to make a formal declaration, giving his qualifications, he wrote: "To the Trustees—I have just been awarded by diploma at Bethany, with highest honors. I am 23 years old, 6 feet 2 inches tall, weight 170 pounds, am unmarried, a Kentuckian by birth, a Campbellite by religion, a Democrat In politics and a Master Mason." He got the job and held it until the desire to be a lawyer caused him to resign and take a course in the University of Cincinnati. On receiving his diploma he sought to build up a practice In Wichita, Kansas, and later In Pike County, Missouri. Clients were so scarce that be had to supplement his Income by teaching school and lecturing. As a lecturer he began to attract attention, and it may have been his spellbinding gifts rather than his attainments as a lawyer that led to his election as prosecuting attorney. Thus he was launched upon the political career that has led up to the speakership of the House of Representatives. No Democrat is more popular than Champ Clark, who has the kindly humor and broad humanity so typical of the best kind of Americans. Not long ago he wrote: "I can't remember back to the time when I was not at hard labor of some sort—on a farm, in a store, teaching school, practicing law, serving as a legislator. The happiest hours of my life were when I graduated, when I married, and when my children were born; the saddest when two of them died." — o MINING SUIT Legal Trouble Between ConI Expert and Rev. Dr. Ilillis, of Brooklyn, Over Property Sut against Rev. Newell Dwight Hills, the famous Brooklyn divine, has been entered in the British Columbia courts on behalf of Ephriam Hodgson, a Victoria mining engineer, who is claiming some $50,000 worth of stock in the Western Steel Corporation, as well as approximately $1,000 due for development services in connection with coal lands on Graham Island. It is claimed that the plaintiff in the case undertook to examine the coal lands for Rev. Mr. Hillis, and that he was instrumental in putting through the deal hy which the Western Steel Corporation of Seattle and Vancouver acquired them, For this work it was claimed he had a contract with the divine for $600 a month salary, and $50,000 worth of stock in the Western Steel Corporation. When the sale was consummated, and Rev. Mr. Hillis received, it is alleged, upwards of $250,000 worth of stock, Hodgson was forgotten. The suit is to recover the amount of stock mentioned, back salary to the extent of $1,000 and for an injunction against the sale of the Hillis stock in the meantime, as well as an account of the transaction with the Western Steel Corporation. Tlie Rev. Newell Dwight Hillis, who is made defendant in the case, is one of the best known preachers on the American continent, filling the pulpit of Plymouth Church, Brooklyn, where Henry Ward Beecher formerly preached. He is also a prominent writer on religious topics. o USEFUL INVENTION Road Roller anil Rook Crusher Combined has Been linvented by Vancouver Man Mr. Walter Thomas of Vancouver has devised an improvement for road making machines, which is said to be a vast improvement to anything heretofore accomplished in that direction, and to be particularly adapted to the Pacific Coast, where quanitles of large and small boulders are everywhere uncovered during the grading process. The hardness of these stones make them valuable for macadamizing purposes while their average size is such that they can be broken up at a small expense. The former method of dealing with them has been to cast them away, and later haul the re- eiuisite crushed rock from a distance to complete the work. The new- device utilizes these hou'ders as the work progresses, at a saving of lime and expense, It Is constructed in such a way that it can he attached lo existing road rollers, and there will no necessity for discarding the machines now In use. Tho machine consists of a road roller of the. usual type, having a rock cruslfer and dadlal distributor alaohod lo the tender. The machine when specially constructed will also be provided with an air compressor to bo used In supplying the air drills when breaking up large rock. The crushing and distributing machinery will be built in such a way that it can be attached to existing road rollers, thereby enabling communities to take advantage of this system without discarding the machine now In use. The road under construction le graded, and the boulders rolled to Hamblin's Bakery Just Re-opened Sale counter in MERRYFIELD'S STORE, Third Ave. and Fifth St. Family trade catered to. Will supply restaurants and steamers. Cakes and Confectionery of all kinds either side of the same. When the road machine has arrived upon the scene, the driving wheels are disconnected from the engine and the compresson and rock crusher are then thrown into gear. All large rocks are then attacked with the air drils and fed to the crusher along with the smaller boulders and reduced to a suitable size. The crushed rock then falls into the radial distributor, which depositee It either on the road or loads it into wagons as required. After a sufficient quanity has been deposited the crusher and compressor are disconnected an dthe wheels thrown into gear, and the machine then performs its ordinary duties as a road roller. With this machine in use it is not neccessary to haul hundreds of yards of rock to one special point where a rock crusher Is set up, and then haul the rock back again on the road as at present. The inventor estimates that a superior grade of rock can be furnished from grading and clearing operations superior to that obtainadle from most quarries, at a cost of $1 per yard, as against $2 and $3 per yard from ordinary sources. The whole coast from Central America to Alaska is calling for good roads, but the expense by ordinary methods is a big item. This machine not only solves the problem of econmic road building, but at the same time gives despatch to the work, which is more important in some sections of the country than the money side of the question. The machine has five distinct operations combined in one, and is unique in simplicity and practicability. The inventor has not strained at any new motion, simply the combination of well- known mechanical movements to accelerate operations at present carried out by seperate machines with disjointed an dexpensive methods. 1836 1911 The Bank of Britisii North America 75 Yuri In lulncn.

Tuesday, April 18, 1911 PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL THE RICH INTERIOR **********************%****************************** I AMONG THE MINES I * * ^****************************** ********************** is a rich galena and silver deposit, the gallery having been driven in and the solid vein of mineral tapped. The mine, it is hoped, will be brought to the producing stage this year. French and German engineers were in fhe country and their mission was obvious, but the British ambassador of commerce The Prospects Are Excellent, He was absent. Says for Rich Returns from New British Columbia English Writer Tells of Wealth of Mineral in Hazelton District. The immense commercial expansion of the extreme northwest of Canada, especially in the territory known as New British Columba, is bound up with the development of Its mineral resources, writes a correspondent lately in Canada to the London Times. The agricultural belt ends practically with the Bulk- ley Valley, he adds, north, the country is extremely mountainous, due to the meeting of the Cascade range on one side and the Babine mountains on the other, and these two tumbled barriers continue northward of the Skeena River to the Klondike territory. While here and there little stretches of level lands open to arable exploitation are found, the economic future of this vast stretch of territory must depend on its mineral wealth. During the writer's journey through the district recently, great prospecting activity was evident on all sides, and some of the men were making on an average of 12s. to 18s. per day panning. But the gold was mostly alluvial and the creeks require to be followed to ascertain the existence of the actual deposits of ore. At Hazelton numerous rich strikes of ore were related, especially on Nine-Mile mountain. The minerals were gold, galena, silver and copper for the most part, both high and low grade in hard milling rock. At present, operations cannot be carried to a very definite conclusion, inasmuch as it costs about £20 per ton to bring machinery up from the coast. By the end of summer, however, the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway will be carried into the Hazelton district and then the difficulties of transport will be appreciably lessened. The mineral belt extends for about 100 miles south of Hazelton, adds the expert. Sixty miles south, two towns have sprung up at Telkwa and Aldermere, and there from their stategical positions will doubtless prove to be the focus of industry. A smelter is already projected at the former town on a flat fringing the Bulkley River. The Babines are twelve miles distant on the east and the Cascades about the same distance on the west. The whole country was overrun with prospectors. The deputy mining recorder reported that up to the time of the writer's visit over 600 claims had been allowed by the government and the extensive collection of ores of all descriptions which he displayed, substantiated the reports that were advanced regarding the mineral richness of the district. Eleven miles northwest of Telkwa is a massive peak, Hudson's Bay Mountain, which has been staked from foot to crest, though only one prospect has been developed so far owing to transport difficulties. This KOOTENAY PROPERTY SOLD Mollie Hughes Mine, Near New Den. vcr, Has llccii Taken Over by Spokane Capitalist The Mollie Hughes mine, a dry silver and gold property which adjoins the townsite of New Denver, on Siocan Lake, has been sold by Michael Zatoni to a syndicate of Spokane capitalists, represented by A. J. Becker. The group was located about 1897 and four of the claims have been worked successfully by several different syndicates. Mr. Zatoni during hi scontrol of the property has exerted most of his efforts towards ithe development of the Kinkora claim where he has drifted some 400 feet to the left on an old crosscut and has taken out a considerable tonnage of ore. Another crosscut has been driven on the Kinukora vein near the water edge. This tapped the vein at 330 feet. A feature of the property is that the workings have been so arranged that the ore can be taken out of all the tunnels and delivered to the barges on the lake from the tunnel near the water's edge, thus efefcting great economy in operation. The average net returns from the smslter taken during the years which the property has been operated give a figure of a trifle over $54 to the ton. COAL BEDS FOUND Bella Coola Is the Latest to Become a Probable Colliery Centre Several seams of coal of surprising size and excellent quality, it is reported, have been discovered near the head of Bella Coola Val ley recently, according to the statement of a business man who has re cently arrived in Vancouver from the north. This business man saw samples of coal on the wharf at Bella Coola and was told that the finds were made about forty-five miles inland near tbe head of the valley. The coal could not be distinguished from the bituminous coal of Nanaimo. The Vancouver man was told by several reputable people that there were large beds of it.

Tuesday, April 18, 1911 MUTUAL ASSISTANCE Prince Rupert, which ought today to be the best point from a business standpoint, on the coast, is suffering from a check in industrial work that is most deplorable. Just at this time there should be thousands of men at work in the city which with the money circulated in consequence would make the place commercially the most active on the Pacific Coast. Every branch of business would feel it. Homes would be building to an extent that would be a surprise to all who came her and there would be an extension of business in all lines that would make Prince Rupert the place of all others to be sought by the working man as well as every other class of citizen. There is abundance of work to be done here—sufficient to keep a very large "taff of men employed constantly in order to prepare for the coming of the railway—the time when the Grand Trunk Pacific will be coupled up as a through route from the east to Prince Rupert. The work will have to be done ou rational lines, however. A rate of wages far in excess of other places on the coast cannot prevail. At the same time the wages paid must be such as to maintain white men in a manner that is befitting if the most desirable classes of labor are to be obtained and are to be induced to come here to live. If the proper medium is not struck there is going to be relaxation in the work undertaken which will effect all classes. Prince Rupert is a place of opportunity for the large capitalist and also for the working man who cares to avail himself of the chances offering. It is a place for legitimate speculation both for the man of large means and the man with little money to invest. But if these opportunities are to be taken advantage of there must be settled conditions. This city has no room for the "labor skinner" on the one hand, nor for the "labor agitator" on the other. Both classes are a menace to the welfare of the place. The ultimate aim should be the encouragement of a class of citizens to settle here who have in view the making of homes In the city and Ihe sharing in the ups and downs of the city. % News of the Province * * i ************************** NEW COLLIERIES LADYSMITH — A new mining concern called the Ladysmith Collieries, Limited, has just been incorporated. It is capitalized at $3,- 000,000, and will, when operating, probably tend to bring about the much-needed reduction in the price of coal. The new company has secured by purchase 1,700 acres of valuable coal lands on the outskirts of Ladysmith, near enough to make that city the temporary headquarters of the company but not near enough to be permanently convenient. Considerable testing has proved to the satisfaction of the promoters that the lands are beyond average richness. This, taken with other advantages which they believe to bo associated with the location of the mines, induces them to place the utmost faith in the enterprise. The project, when a working basis has been reached, a consummation that is expected to take place within a few months, will entail the establishment of a new townsite to accommodate the thousand or more men who will be employed in the mines. At the outset it is expected that at least a thousand men will be put to work, and later, when the mines are opened up, the number will probably rise to two„thousand. One great advantage which is said to be enjoyed by no other mine on the island is that there will be only a two-mile haul to the bunkers at tidewater. It is confidently anticipated that by next autumn the mines will have a daily output of two thousand tons. The new establishment will have a beneficial effect upon the whole island especially upon Ladysmith, the smelter city, at whose door it is being located. MISSION TO OTTAWA CONSULTING ENGINEER There are few ratepayers in the city who will not approve of the action of the council in deciding to have another engineer of recognized ability go Into the plans for the water works, with tlie object In view of taking every precaution In the public interest to guard against any mistake being made. The sum Involved In tbe works Is a large one. It runs into hundreds of thousands of dollars. An error in judgment on the part of the city engineer might result seriously In years lo come. It is no reflection upon Colonel Davis that It should be thought advisable in the public Interest to have another engineer of repute go Into the plans and confirm his Judgment or offer some alterations. In Colonel Davis the clly engaged a high-salaried official, He stands high in the profession to which he belongs, hut an engineering undertaking such as the water works, calls for a display of good judgment to a pre-eminent degree. Any engineer is liable to make errors In judgment just as any one else is not infallible. By calling in a second engineer to pass upon the work there Is the opportunity afforded of checking up any oversight. The expenditure of such a large amount as Is contemplated in the water works undertaking is not to be authorized without every assurance being obtained that It is adequate In every particular and the best that can be obtained. ASHCROFT—Rev. Father E. C. Bellot, one of the priests In charge of the Indian Mission at Fort St. James has just returned from a mission to Ottawa where he acted, with the sanction of the Dominion Government, as intermediary between the Fort George Indians and the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway in the purchase by the latter company of the Indian reservation at Fort George. Wth the exception of the two cemeteries on the resrvation the whole of the reserve has been purchased by the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway, subject to ratification by the Indians. The purchase price paid by the railway company is $68,000 with an allowance of an additional $10,000 for the removal of the reserve buildings, etc., and a further sum of $5,000 for the acquisition of a suitable sie^ for the location of a new reserve. A quarter o, the money will be paid the Indians upon their vacating the land and a further 25 per cent three months from that date. The balance of the money will be held in trust for the Indians by the Dominion Government, at three per cent. This purchase will close up the much-discussed point as to where the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway will locate at Fort George. o THK HAREM SKIRT Babb walked leisurely down Hastings street to the pos'toffice, where she nonchalantly inquired for mail and incidentally nearly put Postmaster Robert Macpherson's well organized staff out of business for awhile. Miss Babb was escorted by Mr. Lew Williams and Mr. F. Gladden, two of the artists appearing at the Pantages this week. Before she had gone half a block there was a crowd of about fifty following her and when she arrived at the post- office the jam of curious people who awaited her exit again completely blocked traffic there. Thanks to the previous announcement of her appearance, the kodakers were out In force, and many pictures were taken of the novelty in female attire, Miss Babb obligingly posing for many of the camera fiends. A feature of the affair was the way well-known women crowded around Miss Babb and sized her attire up at close range as well as asking her all sorts of questions. Tbe general verdict of the fair sex seemed to be summed up in one woman's remark: "Well, I don't see anything so very shocking in that sort of costume. It looks pretty and sensible and comfortable after all. It's better than the hobble skirt, in any event." Miss Bessie heartily agreed with the speaker. APPEAL FOR HELP Society Formed in Canada to Save Starving People of Chinese Provinces One dollar and fifty cents will save a human life! Startling as this statement may appear, it is true. Canada has been asked to contribute $100,000 as its share towards the relief of the famine stricken provinces of China. The conditions, as described by those on the spot, are simply appalling. The harvests in two great provinces were destroyed by flood, and many villages were swept away, leaving the inhabitants homeless. The suffering is wide spread, and it is estimated that un less help is speedily furnished a million will perish of starvation. A more urgent cry ior help was never sent forth by suffering humanity. Nearly every one can do something to alleviate this terrible distress. Contributions may be sent to S. J. Moore, 445 King street, West Toronto, the treasurer of the central committee. Earl Grey and several of the provincial premiers are supporters of this movement. \ ancouver Views It on the Streets and Shows Great Interest, But Is Tolerant With true tolerant western spirit, Vancouver had Its first public experience with the much-discussed harem skirt yesterday, and the fair wearer of this new article of feminine garb made a leisurely promenade of tho city's business district and returned to her hotel without either being mobbed, booted or having to make her escape In a taxi. This was in marked contrast with tlie experience of the young lady In Toronto, who essayed a similar stunt while wearing a harem skirt, a short line ago, says the Vancouver News-Advertiser. To Miss Bessie Babb, the charming comedienne and singer appearing at the Pantages this week, will have to be accorded the distinction of being the first woman to appear in public in Vancouver wearing the harem skirt. Miss Bessie, who is an ardent advocate of dress reform for women, years tlie harem skirt In her act on the stage all the time. But it is quite another thing to promenade the crowded streets of the business district in that garb. Miss Babb, however, went through the ordeal as if it were an every-day occurrence. Of course, she created all kinds of a sensation, and was the most stared at young woman in Vancouver for a couple of hours. Starting from the Pantages theatre shortly after 1 o'clock, Miss NEW BETTING RULE Tattersall's committee of London has revised the betting rules on English race courses. For many years all betting disputes have been decided by the Tattersall committee, which is composed of some of the foremost sporting men in the country, including such well known advocates as Colonel Findyer, the Earl of Suffolk and Berks, Lord Wolverton, Sir John Robinson, Captain Laing and others of note, comprising a body of ten men to whom all questions are referred for decision. If a person plays one horse to heat another one of the two horses must win for the wager to be decided. This is the rule in a ease wherein it is not especially stipulated that one of the horses is to finish in the first three placed by the judges. There have been many arguments over bets in connection with match races among athletes and sporting events when the result has been a dead heat or a draw. Some seem to think In such cases as a dead heat in a boat race the whole amount of the stake should be split, which would give the backer of the outsider in the quotations the better of the division. This question has been settled by the Tattersall's committee, which rules that in a "dead heat in a match race all bets are void." This rule is made specific In the determination of bets on horse races, but it will unquestionably apply in other cases. The cause of so many arguments in the past, both in this country and England, grew out of the fact that if there were bets on horses running a dead heat, whether in a match race or otherwise, the total sum wagered was added together and then divided between the bettors. Now that a new rule has been established It will no doubt settle the question all over the world in regard to the division eof money where a dead heat or a draw is concerned in any sporting event.

They report the boat In bad condition, as the whole lower deck is filled with ice. Her position makes it impossible to discover what injury,, if any, had been done her hull. It will be an r.lmost impossible task, the men say, to rescue her from her present position. It would require the outlay of a considerable sum to transport wrecking material, supplies and men to the almost inaccessible spot where the wrecked steamer lies, and even then successful salving would be doubtful, says the Fort George Tribune. The freight consigned to W. Blair & Co., aggregating 13 700 pounds, may be considered a total loss. Ab- may be considered a total loss. About 1,500 pounds of damaged goods could be recovered, but the cost of such recovery would amount to more than the value of the goods. The only article of cargo not seriously damaged Is the iron cage for the Bank of Vancouver. A considerable quantity of hay and grain for the navigation company is also a total loss. There is no doubt in the minds of hose with a knowledge of the situation in which the Chilco became involved that, the accident was due to gross negligence and stupidity on the part of those responsible for the handling of the boat. There Is every reason to believe that it would have been a comparatively easy matter, even supposing the accident to have been unavoidable, to place the boat In a position where her cargo at least would have been safe from damage by the water. No attempt whatever was made to protect the cargo. The crew, evidently concluding that the navigation season was closed, took one of the steamer's boats and placidly sailed down the river to Quesnel. At the latter town, though questioned by several as to the whereabouts of the Chilco, they refused to give any information as to her position or location. SALMON PACKERS OUTLOOK According to advices received from various coast cities, a labor famine threatens the Alaska salmon canners during the coming season. Agents of the packers have been scouring the Japanese and Chinese quardters of the various coast cities, with but little success, and in their desperation have attempted to import a number of Filipino laborers from the Hawaiian Islands. Whether this labor scarcity will influence the British Columbia packers is not known at present, and it is thought by those interested in the industry that enough Orientals can be secured in this port, Victoria and other Canadian cities and towns to handle the season's catch. At Port Townsend the agents of the packers have been exceedingly active in their attempts to induce the Chinese and Japanese to go north for the summer, but so far, few of the Orientals have decided to leave the city. In Seattle, according to advices, a number of workers have been secured, but not enough to handle the catch. The attempt of .he packers to Import Filipinos from the Hawaiian Island sugar plantations has brought down on the master of the steamer Senator, the hand of the law, and caused the skipper to clear from Honolulu In a great hurry. Stringent laws have been passed by the legislators of the island providing for punishment for those who solicit laborers to leave tne islands. It Is not know at present whether the scarcity of labor will affect the market to any great extent, and the more conservative of the packers are of the opinion that enough men can be secured to handle the catch.

"- * Tuesday, April 18, 1911 PRINCE RUPERT JOURNAL EMPIRE PARLIAMENT Proposition Which Australian Nan Has to Propose. Public Joseph Ward Gives Interesting Interview Relative to Imperial Federation An Empire parliament and the co-ordination of the Empire, each part jointly being represented in a parliament which shall deal with all questions of foreign policy and defence, is the scheme which Sir Joseph Ward, K. C. M. G., prime minister of New Zealand, is to bring forward at the Imperial Conference which opens in London on May 22. Sir Joseph Ward says he is convinced that with the increasing growth of armaments and the progress of other Empires it is necessary that the British Empire should be co-ordinated. Instead of divided Dominions, with scattered small naval units, there should be an Imperial parliament. He proposes a house of representatives in which all oversea Dominions are represented according to population and an Imperial Senate In which each Dominion of the Empire has equal representation, while an Imperial Council of Defence should arrange protection of the whole Empire. "Take for instance, the Pacific," said Sir Joseph Ward, in an interview in Victoria, "it is controlled now by America and Japan, while the Mediterranean is held by Italy and France. Under such a scheme as I propose there would be no question about the capability of the Empire to maintain a two-power standard. It could do so for all time. Under this scheme the contribution of a Dreadnought or two would be a sma'l matter. The combined Empire could with greater ease p.rovide fifty Dreadnoughts than a separate portion could provide on or two. "The changing conditions must be met—and the making of the Empire an Empire in fact is necessary. There can be no safety in dreams of permanent peace This can only be purchased by securing an unconquerable position at sea and the proposal to be put forward would undoubtedly result in this being secured." "What are your ideas as to the manner in which the Empire parliament should be constituted?" was asked. "That I cannot discuss at present." "What is your opinion of the proposed reciprocity agreement between Canada and the United States?" "I have watched that with much interest, but I do not think it would be proper for me to express any opinion regarding it. There is no doubt that the whole question will be discussed thoroughly in connection with the proposals for the solidifying of the Empire which I will bring forward at the Conference." New Zealand's Resolutions "What other resolutions will you move at the Imperial Conference?" "There are 22 in all. There are: 1—That the Conference be open to the press except when the subjects are confidential; 2—Imperial rep- resentation of overseas self-governing Dominions with a view to further Imperial organic control; 3— Interchange of officers in the civil service; 4—Universal penny postage; 5—State-owned Atlantic cables; 6—State-owned telegraph lines across Canada; 7—Cheapening of cable rates; 8—Wireless telegraphy; 9—The All-Red mall route between England, Australia, New Zealand via Canada; 10—Representation on the judicial committee of the Privy Council of oversea Dominions; 11—Powers of the self-governing Dominions to negotiate commercial treaties with foreign nations; 13—Uniformity and reciprocity in accident compensation law; 15—Uniformity and extension in the legislative powers of the self- governing Dominions with respect to shipping; 16—Uniformity of law as to residents, entitling naturalization; 17—Reciprocity as to destitute persons law; 18—Reciprocity in admission of land surveyors to practice; 19—Immigration control and uniformity with regard to evclusion of aliens; 20—Relief from double taxation whether In the case of Income tax or otherwise; 21—Exclusion of government debentures and other securities from stamp duty; 22—Currency of Imperial and Oversea Dominion coinage. "There Is a resolution regarding admission of aliens. In New Zealand every effort U made to keep the Dominion population free from undesirable foreigners. The immigration law provides for an examination under which any foreigner, of whatever nationality, must be able to read and write English. Problems of Pacific "There are many problems in prospect in the South Pacific and the development of these will necessitate the strengthening of the British navy. It is only necessary for those who doubt that the safety of the countries washed I by the South Pacific depends upon the British navy to tturn their eyes on the Far East, where a late authority had stated that there was in one country a population of 550,000,000, and realize how close that country was to our shores. In ten days those people could land on the Australian coast in unthinkable numbers. Supposing only five or ten millions of those people were able in about twenty years' time to get to New Zealand, what would the workers do? To be forwarned was to be forearmed, and if we wanted to insure in years to come the preservation of these countries, we must help the British navy. New Zealand, as you know, has contributed a Dreadnought to the navy, and gives also two million dollars a year. I will attend the launching in June at the yards of the Fairfield Shipbuilding and Engineering Company on the Clyde, of H. M. S. New Zealand. It had been suggested in New Zealand that the vessel should be altered to a super- Dreadnought, but construction had been too far advanced to permit of this. Arrangements had been made to launch the vessel on June 25." "What do you think of the independent navy system as adopted by Canada?" "I am not in favor of the small naval units," was the reply. "The only proper scheme of Imperial defence is to have a British navy, and the proposals I put forward are to this end. Personally, I think the question of Imperial defence will be the most important of all to be considered at the forthcoming Imperial conference. | This subject vitally concerns every portion of the Empire, and it certainly concerns Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. Great Britain on calling her fleets home, has left the oversea Dominions to some extent exposed. Canada, Australia and New Zealand, under our respective internal policies, are doing our part in the matter by providing a system of national land defences. The fact is apparent that at present, as at no time hitherto in the history of the world, has peace been so much acclaimed. Yet, the striking anomoly exists that never in the history of the world have armaments been increasing so rapidly as at present. "It is obviously tthe duy before statesmen of the motherland and of oversea Dominions to join closer hands if the Empire Is to be maintained invincible and intact. Any system that may be introduced must have wide and definite provisions to admit of the local autonomy of each unit of the Empire, thus ensuring that the work of each respective portion of the Empire shall be carried out according to the wishes of the people. Consequently an Imperial Council of defence would involve the creation of sufficient local land forces in the related portions of the Empire to repel attacks, as particular portions may be exposed to an Invading enemy." "At present the various portions of the Empire are proceeding with this policy without agreement or prearrangement, but some broader naval system must be created by which the vast interests of all por tions of the Empire will be established on such a basis as to enable Great Britain to free her navy for a wider imperial service. The navy must be largely increased. These things can only be done by the systematic and localized co-operation of all portions of the Empire. 'If this Empire is to remain intact, to grow in popularity, it must be by means of a closer unity. If no scheme of cohesion is adopted, the greater evolution which has taken place within the Empire will mean a gradual severance of some of the important ties of the Empire, whicii the people are anxious to draw tighter.'

HART Corner 2nd Avenue and Sixth Street Opposite Empress Theatre SPORTS AGES OF FIGHTKRS There was only one Ruby Robert Fitzsimmons. Only one gawky blacksmith, who, at the age of 35, went out and won a world's championship, and for five years successfully defended it. Old Bob set a record that will probably stand for all time in the archives of fistlana. Fitz was the Mine. Bernhardt of fightdom. Age did not leave any defects upon him, and he was fighting great battles when other men were past the meridian of their years. The freckled "kangaroo" established a goal the fighters of the present day will never be able to touch. Fitzsimmons made his first appearance in the ring at Timura, N. Z., at the late Jem Mace's tournament, 1880, at which he defeated four men, winning the amateur championship of New Zealand. It was reckoned a great performance, but could not be compared to that of the following year at the same place, when five men were beaten by him in one night, among them the great Maori, Herbert Slade. Old Bob's ring career, lasted for thirty years, dating to December 27, 1909, when Bill Lang knocked him out at Sydney, New South Wales, in the twelfth round. He was forty-seven years of age at that fight, and the crack of his old bones must have been heard as he took the count. Jim Corbett donned the padded mitts for just eighteen years; he fought his first battle in 1885, and his last on August 14, 1903, when Jim Jeffries whipped him out in the tenth round of their fight for the championship of the world. It was the second time that the boiler- maker had knocked him out, for three years previously he stood up for twenty-three rounds against him, the figiit on this occasion taking place at Coney Island. Corbett's biggest fight and largest purse fought for was when he defeated John L. Sullivan at New Orleans on September 7, 1892, for a purse of 125,000 and ?20,000 stake money, winning in twenty-one rounds. Thomas Sharkey figured prominently in the roped arena from 1893 to 1904, or for eleven years, and so quickly did he knock out all who went up against him in the first three years that he went after bigger game. There are few old glove rammers in the ring today. The rusty arms of antiquity have evidently been consigned to their proper place— the junk man's back yard. Age cuts small figure with the exponents of the manly art of pummeling. Youth is king and a man's proficiency is not gauged by his years because all of the children of the god of fist- cuffs are pretty equitably matched in this regard. In the hit and get away game oi today a man past thirty is rated as being on the decline of his powers. He is looked upon in ring circles the same as an octogenarian. Such a man has not a chance of ever ascending to a title, although one does hold one now—Jack Johnson. But Jack is an exception. Only five fighters who are now making their living by sticking gloves into an opponent's features are over thirty. They are Jack Johnson, Cyclone Johnny Thompson, Mike and Jack (Twin) Sullivan and Jim Flynn. Only two are thirty —Jem Driscoll and Rudolph Unholz. Of those past the acknowledged period of decadence, Cyclone Johnny Thompson is the eldest. Sycamore, 111., was the first training quarters of the Cyclone one thirty- five years ago. Thompson is the oldest fighter of the present time. However, he didn't start as early as some of his competitors, and has only been in active conflict nine years. Queer angle connected with the Cyclone's history. A lightweight and welterweight until thirty-five, he turns into a light heavyweight, heft registered at 161 pounds. Next to Thompson is the champion, Johnson. The negro has participated in the sorrows and joys of mundane texistence for thirty-four years. Johnson has come the closest to Fitz's record. He was thirty-two when he won the title from Tommy Burns. The two antiquated bald-headed twins, Mike and Jack (Twin) Sullivan, rank next in order in the list. Jack has been stopping cross- counters and moving his hands in faultless rhythm for nearly thirteen years. Mike is the junior twin of the ring sport. He only took up the game In earnest in 1901, when the fame of his brother began to permeate his being. Jim Flynn, the Pueblo fireman, is thirty-two years of age. The fight game has known him for nine years. Flynn is the last of millers over the one score and ten. Following are the ages of the other ring celebrities of today, showing positvely that youth is dominant: Owen Moran, twenty- seven; Tommy Murphy, twenty-six; Harry Lewis, twenty-five; Willie Lewis, twenty-seven; Abe -Attell, twenty-seven; Tony Caponi, twenty- nine; Hugo Kelly, twenty-eight; Fighting Dick Nelson, twenty-eight; Jack Redmond, twenty-seven; Battling Nelson, twenty-nine; Jem Driscoll, thirty, and Rudolph Unholz, thirty. o THROUGH THE ALPS The final obstruction to Loetsch- burg tunnel through the Bernest Alps, was pierced by laborers a few days ago after five and a half years' work and expenditure of $20,000,- 000. The tunnel, which is the third lo'ngest in Europe, measures approximately nine miles. With the completion of the Loetschburg tunnel, which was planned to give Simpion a tunnel railway line as a direct connection with the railways which traverse Switzerland from north to south, there will be a direct through route from Milan to Berne and thence to Calais and Britain. The distance from Milan to Calais by this route wi'l be about 675 or nearly 80 miles shorter than existing routes. The tunnel will be double-tracked throughout.
