AUTO RACE TO NORTH
Contest Will be Held to See Who Can
Reach Hazelton First
This Year.
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.

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.

(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.

Captain Sears, skippe; of the ill-

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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."

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

CHILCO COMPLETE LOSS
Freight on Stranded Steamer in Up-
per Fraser River Almost
All Destroyed
A party of men returned this
week from the scene of the wrecked
Chilco, near the mouth of the Black-
water River. 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.

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.'

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.

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.
