By co-incident the price of halibut in this port reached its highest figure yesterday. The price prevailing was 8 1-8 cents a pound to the fishing boats. The quantity of halibut in port is not large. There have been light catches so far this year for the most part. Prince Rupert has been receiving the big share of the halibut caught, and the demand has been very pronounced. H. 0. Roberts, of the San Juan Company, bought the independent catches that were in port yesterday, at the figure given. None of the others bought, but the purchases of Mr. Roberts were not large, when compared with what has many times been the case here. He purchased about 20,000 pounds. Tlie Zebasse, Capt. Parsons, of the Canadian Fish & Cold Storage Company, came into port yesterday. She hail ",8,000 pounds on board, which is practically a full catch for her. Willi good weather conditions and good fresh bait, it is anticipated that there should be good sized catches brought in from now on. o Open Wednesdays nnd Saturdays until O p.m. M. M. Stephens.

POWERS IN NEAR EAST LOOKING TO ALLIES FOR SOME MONEY Athena, Feb. 29.—Alarmed at the Russian advance In Asia Minor and at the inability of the Germans to render aid, the Turks and Bulgarians are asking for an understanding with the Entente Allies. Bulgaria fears that she will lose her capital of Sofia, and both powers are greatly alarmed over the new turn of events. They ask for the observance of territorial integrity. The Turks are hastily evacuating Trebizond and the neighboring ports on the coast of the Black Sea. ROCHER DE BOULE IS ACTIVE CAMP REPRESENTATIVES OF SEVERAL OF THE PROPERTIES THERE ARE IN CITY Red Rose Will Likely Have Ore For Shipping This Summer. The mines at Rocher de Boule Mountain give excellent promise for the summer. At the Rocher de Boule property Itself, the company Is continuing to get out a good supply of ore for shipment to Granby through here. At the same time the management is sinking a shaft to test the ore at depth. They will sink it, it is said, 250 feet, thus proving the body for a total depth'of 550 feet.

Things are now shaping up well for this. The properties that are being worked are all looking excellent ann general activity is prophesied. W. M.

While there he went into the whole situation from the standpoint of locating In a general business.

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC. City Fire Alarm System The City Fire Alarm System is again in commission. Amsterdam, Feb. 29.—Forty-five thousand have been killed in the lighting about Verdun. One regiment has been formed out of the remnants of ten others. Intense Fighting. Paris, Feb. 29.—The bombardment north of Verdun is continuing with great intensity. East of the Meuse there has been a resumption of violent local attacks. Near the village of Duaumont the fighting came to a hand to hand encounter. The Germans were repulsed by the French troops. After an Intense artillery fire the Germans captured the village of Manheulles, but a counter attack brought the French to the western boundary of this location. The French now hold Manheulles under their fire, In Lorraine the Germans succeeded in occupying small sections of French tren-ehes, but were very shortly driven from these positions. May Mark Change. The French counter attacks at Verdun may mark, the battle raging there, as the beginning of the end of' the war on the western front, according to military authorities. The opinion is held that the trenches have literally been scrapped, and the deadlock, arising from the long drawn fortress so constituted, has been replaced by the old-fashioned mortars, with ali the heavy artillery used in the Serbian campaign and part of that formerly employed on the Russian front. GERMANS PAID LITTLE ATTENTION I woman suffrag the Dolly Varden, Is giving such excellent results, Is expected here on Thursday from the south. He will on his arrival give his attention to the letting of the contracts for the building of the wharf and for the construction of the road from the wharf to the mine. This work will probably run into $100,000. The road is 18 miles long to the nearest property. It Is a matter of getting a road along the face of a rocky mountain, which at one place at least is along the face of a precipice in reality. There will be well on to 1,000 men employed in the camp, it is believed, this summer. It Is thus evident that the camp is going to be one capable of supporting a large population. The mine will lie developed also, with as little delay as possible. n. Ovlndsen is going to ere.(- a large hotel there. The cost of the building planned Is put at $10,000, .1. Crawford, of this city, is also preparing for an active year there. He lias taken horses in and will be prepared for all kinds of work.

They dealt a sudden, staggering blow that won in a single day nearly a hundred cannon and twenty thousand prisoners.

The country tributry to here is not a producer of one kind of ore only. As a matter of fact there is scarcely a mineral ot commercial value but what this country produces it. The resources In this line are of tlie most oiversified character. The prospect for quite full development of these resources is good. With metals phenomenally high in price there is every inducement for the prospector to become busy, and for the developer of properties also to be alive to the promising locations! HIGH PRICE OF FISH. Yesterday halibut readied a record pi'i as far as this port was concerned, flie sum realized by the fishermen was 8 1-8 cents a pound, which certainly is a very high figure when compared with thai paid some years ago. The price is regulated by supply and demand, and for a variety of reasons the fish is now very scarce, with the consequent result that the price has soared high. Under present- nay conditions, with fast express (rains and iced cars, the whole continent is practically being served from here in the matter'of halibut. CORPORATION OF THE CITY OF PRINCE RUPERT.

(Coninued from Page One.) day evening fifty-six hours later that I was picked up by a German patrol and made prisoner, at tlie dressing station where I was first taken the surgeon who fixed me up remarked that he hoped I would not have a stiff knee as a result of the wound, evidently not thinking it serious. The treatment we got there was all right, but a few days later we were sent into Germany, nnd when we got there very little attention was paid to our wounds. The dressings were changed only twice a week, when it was impossible to allow them to remain longer. As a result of the lack of attention my knee got in such bad condition that they had to amputate the leg above the knee, and the English surgeons say it was far from being a workmanlike job. Not only did we suffer from the lack of attendance, but the food was bad. I was glad when the chance came to be exchanged and I got hack to England in August." Under careful nursing in England, Pte. Davey's health improved. He is in excellent spirits over the prospects of an early return to his home, even if he is travelling on crutches. o » ROCHER DE BOULE.

S. The house military committee at Washington has voted for a regular standing army of 137,000 men, with a two per cent, allowance for recruiting, bringing the number up to 140,- 000, which is slightly more than the war department asked. The Republi. cans and three Democrats carried the vote. Voting in the committee began with a proposal for 220,000 men. The number was gradually scaled down until a proposal for 150,000 men was beaten by one vole. Then the Republicans and1 three Democrats put through the provision as it was finally accepted by the committee to be Incorporated in the bill to be presented to the public. The war department's estimate of additional officers for the regular army also was increased from 786 to 1,000. The section for reorganizing tlie National Guard was framed to provide for a maximum strength of 424,- 000 men, of which fifty per cent, must be recruited within two years. o Get your new Spring Suit at March Sale at Jvirkpatrick's.
