NO. 197 ,n ENTHUSIASTIC OVER PROSPECT OF OIL British Capital Is Interested And Will Put Drill At Work In A Few Weeks Boring On The West Coast Of Graham Island- A. Stewart Satisfied with The Outlook The enthusiasm with regard to the oil prospects on Graham island is increasing rather than diminishing. The report brought by A. Stewart, who is operating tor the British Columbia Oilfields and for himself is most reassuring. Mr. Stewart has gone south to get, additional casing for tiie bore that lie is pulling in, but the operations just before he left were of the most encouraging character. Mention has been made of the fact that hot water was struck, followed by a gas pocket. These Mr. Stewart treats as mere incidents in the boring. The character of the rock through which the bore is being pushed is indicative, as all along, of oil. Already n depth of SOO feet has been attained, but additional casing must be obtained before continuing and hence tbe delay.. But while there is a cessation of work for a short tiin'e, this is only temporary. Mr. Stewart, who has bee'i in the spot, was never more optimistic than ho is at the present time with respect to the outlook. Not only is the company with which he is associated satisfied, but the reports obtained by experts in the Old Country have been such as to wan-ant tlie putting in of London capital in the business of boring. A complete new outfit to operate about six miles from the location or tho present bore is being despatched and will be pin into operation in a few- weeks. Tiie introduction of this British capital is on the strength of expert information and it is regarded as a most encouraging sign that this should be done.

PEACE REIGNS ON SEATTLE STREETS FIGHTIXG BETWEEN BLUEJACKETS, MARINES AND l'W.W.'s IS OVER. The Police Are Preserving Order in the Cily Again—Raid .May Not lie Repeated. Seattle, July 19.—At dusk tonight, the police expected to be able to preserve order in tho streets through which ihe sailors and marines swept last night in their raid of the Socialist's quarters. Last evening a party of men from the Pacific reserve fleet came ashore and attacked the headquarters of Ihe Industrial Workers of the World on Washington Street, dragging out the contents to the street and there making a bonfire of them. Later on the mob re-formed and proceeded to the headquarters of the Socialists which they completely sacked, destroying the furniture and $.900 worth of literature.

Donnelly Of New York Arrived In Prince Rupert Yesterday By The Prince Rupert —Arc Making Inspection Of The Hays Creek Undertaking—First Steel Leaves New York Aug. 15 For Buildings—By End Of Year Designers Expect That Some Of The Buildings At Least Will Be Completed--No Time To Be Lost On The Work There reached the city yesterday by the Prince Rupert two of the best known marine architects on the continent. They are F. E. Kirby and W. T. Donnelly, of Xow York, the designers of the drydock that is being constructed by the Grand Trunk Pacific at the cost of about two millions of dollars and which is designed to be the best dock on the Pacific Coast when completed, a few months hence. They are members of the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers. They have come here on a tour of inspectiop in connection with the work and intend to get away again in a day or two. Speaking of the way things are going at the works, the two designers expressed themselves as well satisfied. The work has been under the charge of J. H. Pillsbury, of this city, as their representative on the ground and his work has been well carried out, the designs being lived up to in all particulars. Steel Soon Leaving. With respect to the buildings thalj are to be erected on tbe ,spot and preparations for which are already under way, Mr. Donnelly said that the steel for these would leave New York on August 16. It will take about a month or six weeks to deliver it here and then the work of construction as far as the walls are concerned can commence, Hut there is plenty to do before that time, he added, and there Is no reason for any delay owing to the steel not being here. . Asked how long it would take to construct the buildings after the steel was on the ground, he said that it should not take much more than four months If the weather is at all favorable. Would Hurry rilling. The designers of the building would like to see the fllling-in- of the rock hurried somewhat, as they fear that there is some danger of that holding back the work a little. It will thus be up to Archie McDougall to expedite matters, but in view of Hie reputation that .Mr. Mc-i Dougall has for being able to get I A Great Shed. The shipbuilding shed that Is to work rushed there is little to fear In that direction. The shipbuilding portion of the works are the first to be constructed as has before been mentioned. There is nothing in the way of filling to interfere with that portion of the work so that before the year is cut this part of the structure should be well out of the way. stand over tlie launching platform will be a splendid piece of work, it is designed to have a covered space 8K feel by .100 feel with a clear height under the cranes of 50 feet and under the girders of JIG feet. Tbe shop section of this immediately in rear of I lie shed will have a' similar size, being only six feet | narrower than the covered shed. VANCOUVER WANTS A FLOATING DOCK The Southern City Seems To Realize That Facilities Will Have To Be Provided There—Reasons Urged For One Like Rupert Is Building Here the most improved machinery known in tho trade will be installed and in the sited will in- buill the pontoons that are to be used In the floating dock section of the works. Work on this will therefore be possible very early in the next year. Satisfied With City. Mr. Donnelly and Mr, Kirby have gone to Granby Hay today to see i what is going on there and will return by the Prince Rupert and com-1 plete their work here next week. Mrs. Kirby accompanies her husband on the trip. Mr. Donnelly has been a more or less frequent visitor to this city during the last few years in connect ion with the work that is being carried on. His associate In Ihe designs has not been so frequent a visitor. It is about three years and a half since he was here lasi and in the time that lie has been absent he notes very marked changes in the city of Prince Rupert, lie remarks upon the splendid progress thai the city is making in spite of the facl thal the railway- Is not yel connected up. The Grand Trunk Pacific is being I laid with excellent speed these days. The weather conditions are good again, and the track gang have in tho Bulkley Valley a splendid course open to them, ready graded, t'nder these conditions the general superintendent, VV. ('. C. Mehan, has given orders to make fast time and the instructions are certainly being carried out. By noon today the Telkwa River crossing will be reached. This will interfere with further progress for a while, as a bridge lias to be put in. The bridge will nol occupy a long tlmo in construction, probably not more than two weeks, says Mr, Mohan. The interval during which tho laying will be held up will be utilized to advantage in ballasting up the line that has lately been laid along tite valley approaching the polnl now- reached. Sniithers, which is to be the freight and passenger divisional point, was passed some days ago by tin- track-laying gang. It is located about Mile 226. Then Telkwa is at .Mik- 236 and this is the point now reached by the gang. Tbe advancing of the rails Is n double advantage in the work. Nol only docs it carry the steel head itself forward, but it. facilitates the work of further extension as it shortens the distance which the contractors must team their freight. General Superintendenl Mehan is allowing nothing to hold him back In the track laying except bridge construction. Whenever the crossings of i he rivers are encountered a slop must be made until that work is completed. The gaps between the bridges are closed In by steel with the least possible delay. It was announced some time ago that there would remain but a very short open space in British Columbia between the heads of steel when the work of track laying closed down this winter. General Superintendent Mehan is certainly taking pains to see that this is lived up to and is pushing the work to the limit. o— ■ Hi- In-. Scliarsmidt Here. Scharsmidt, of Vancouver, In these columns at different limes attention has been called to the fact thai while the cities of Vancouver and Victoria were straining to get graving docks constructed in their harbors, or near by them, this city of Prince Rupert, through the enterprise of the Grand Trunk Pacific, was getting docking facilities that would excel those that the cities In the south were seeking as practical propositions and that would be ready before the graving dockB were well started. It would appear now that the city of Vancouver has awakened to this fact and there Is a move there now to have constructed In the harbor a floating dock somewhat after the portance thai Is to attach to this as a shipping port. A committee of the Board of Trade iu Vancouver has prepared a report on the question of a floating dock, and in the course of the report it is so: forth as follows: "Ai the same lime we think ii advisable to urge upon the Federal Government the necessity and desirability of giving financial assistance to the prompt building of a floating drydock of approved type, 500 feet long and 90 feet In breadth from tower to tower and of a lifting capacity of 12,000 to 15,000 tons, with cranes and air compressure facilities at fixed charges for public use. "The chief considerations for this Plans of the one under construction view are us follows: 1, a flouting here and nearlng completion. The dock can be built In six months, a proposal of the southern city Is the! graving dock in two to three years; construction of a smaller dock than; 2, a floating dock would cost $600,- ls being provided here, which seems noil to $750,000, a graving dock reasonable in vlow of the relative Im- tContinued on Last Pase' YESTKI!

Authorities Deny Report That Relatives of Hindu to Be Admitted. LIFE OF PILES. There lias sometimes been a disposition on the part of laymen In the city to doubt the wisdom on the part of the Grand Trunk Pacific in putting in its wharves at tho dry- dock of wood. The wood is creosoted to avoid the destruction by the toredoes, bul we have been inclined to think that the life of the pile would, in spite of this, be too short to warrant its use. Mr. Donnelly, one of the designers of the works, when interviewed on the length of time that these piles would probably last puts aside ihe argument against the use of them. Be says that the probable life of them is put at 25 years. That is the estimate that was given them by R. H. Thompson, now of Victoria, formerly city engineer of Seattle and who is known here in connection with his work as consulting engineer for the city water supply. That is the life of the pile that Mr. Thompson fixed as a result of experiments right on this coast, so that tite designers felt in view of this and on Hie recommendation of such an authority as Mr, Thompson that there was no mistake being made In putting in the creosoted Idles. THE DRYDOCK. The wisdom of tiie action on the part of the Grand Trunk Pacific in providing for the floating type of drydock in this porl is becoming more and more evident. Tin's type was adopied upon the recommendation of eminent engineers like Messrs, Donnelly and Kirby, of New York, who have made a careful study of the whole question. The city of Vancouver is apparently coming to this way of thinking now and are forsaking Hi? graving idea and advocating the floating dock. Vancouver is asking for ti dock little more than half the size of the'1 one that is being constructed here. The local dock will have a capacity for vessels of 20,- 000 tons. The work that is being carried out here is one that will make this port a gathering place for vessels that are lo undergo repairs or be overhauled. The drydock will be of inestimable advantage to the city, especially in view of the fact that this is to be created into an important shipping point. The Canadian immigration authorities at Vancouver state that there is no truth in the report that the mother and four children of a local Hindu, named Hakam Singh, have been granted permission by the Bon. w. .1. Roche, Dominion Minister of the Interior, to enter Canada. One of the head immigration officials, questioned by a .News-Advertiser representative, replied: "If such permission had been given we should have been the first to be notified, and we have heard nothing. It is true that efforts have been made to get such admission, and, as a matter of fact, these efforts have extended over a period of nearly two years." LABOR COMMISSION. Sittings of the Provincial Labor Commission will be held as follows: Hazelton—Wednesday, 23rd July, S p.m. Prince Rupert—Saturday, 26th July, 10 a.m. The Commission is empowered to inquire into all matters affecting the conditions of labor in British Columbia.

Many Passengers Arrived by Prince Rupert— Princess May Bailed South—Other Shipping News. The Albert Meyer, a three-niastetl schooner now discharging salt at the wharves of the Canadian Fish & Cold Storage Company at Seal Cove, is the first vessel of the kind to be registered here. The schooner is n magnificent one and bears in addition to her name the name of Prince Rupert as the port of register. The necessary papers in connection with the transfer of the register to this port are'now being taken out and before many days pass the vessel will be duly entered here. The Meyer is being admired by all the marine men in the city. She is a beautiful schooner, well appointed in all her details and a credit to the fleet that is operated out of here in the fish trade. Before being acquired by the local company the vessel was engaged as n lumber carrier on the coast. She is in splendid shape, having been kept in the best of order by 'her former owner. The schooner is callable of carrying 800 tons of freight. She came north from San Francisco with n cargo'of salt for the local company, having 600 tons of it aboard. At the wharves she is discharging about half of this, taking the remainder to sea with her to be used in the caring for the cod that will be taken on the cruise upon which she Is leaving ill a day or two. The purpose of the company is to exploit the cod banks of the north very fully with this schooner as a beginning. The vessel has been a little late getting on the ground and the cruise will be shortened somewhat in consequence of this. She will proceed to Alaskan waters early next week and will start in on the banks. She will not proceed, it is anticipated, to the Behrlng Sea this time, but will make her headquarters nearer her home port. Upon taking the cod she will salt It down in her holds to keep for the full curing on the return to port here. Thus will be^in the new branch of the industry that is to make this port famous. The Meyer is tiie first only it is expected of the cod fishing craft thai will make its home porl here. The Canadian Fish & Cold Storage Company, iu fact, intend lo ;uhl materially to the fleet that will operate under iis -house flag in tills department of ihe industry as soon as ii is learned what the business warrants. After towing the ship Buy of Biscay to Vancouver, the tug Lome proceeded to the Wallace yards, where she will be turned into an oil- burner. The Lome is the most powerful tug on tiie consl, and was built at Victoria in 1SS1I for the Dunsmuir interests. She is well known here. Her builders were Middleton & Booth, and the engines were installed by the Albion Ironworks. About four years ago a new boiler was installed at Seattle. The Lome has a speed of 11 knots and can tow a ship almost as fast as she goes light. She draws 17 feet. John Hutchinson, Mr. and Mrs. R. H. Merritt, Archdeacon and Mrs. W. H.

This is indicated by the increase in the number of round trip travellers that are coming in on the steamers that are calling in this port or making it a terminus as the Grand Trunk Pacific steamers do. The Princess May of the C.P.R. service reached port yesterday afternoon from Skagway on her return trip. She brought among her southbound passengers many of those who had made the northbound trip on her. They report the weather as being exceedingly disagreeable in the north and were glad to get back to the j sunshine and warm weather of this port, BROUGHT IN SPRINGS. The W. R.
