PRINCETON, JUNE 14, 1902. FERNIE DISASTER. Serious Defects in Coal Mining I Laws—Alexander Sharp, J M. E., Discusses Necessary Changes. The terrible catastrophe by whichTjy miners lost My-jr lives in the Crow's Nest Pass Coal Co's No. 2 mine at Fernie has shocked the people of Canada from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and a rigid inquiry should be instituted to determine upon whose shoulders the responsibility for the awful fatality must icst. The accident was caused by some defect in the laws regulating such mines, or else the disregarding.pf the;laws in existence by the operations of the ' diamond drill now working on the coal lands of the T. G. Holt Syndicate about 5 miles from Princeton, was interviewed by a Star representative for the purpose of getting his views on the regulations now in forci in this province for the governing of coa mining. Mr. Sharp was for nearly six years sup erintendent and manager of the Welling ton Collieries on Vancouver Island, and is a certificated colliery manager for > Great Britain and the Province of British Columbia, and shonld therefore be well qualified to speak on the subject. Mr. Sharp suggests that be appointed by the gov . certain in what manner such accidents as those at Fernie and Extension could be reduced. There are a number of weak points in our present laws that ought to be looked into. For instance the working with naked lights in mines where gas lias been discovered ; the using of electricity for lighting purposes or the hauling of coal in a gaseous mine, and the using of powder that gives off a flame in a mine where locked safety lamps are used. The British Coal Mines Regulation Act of 1887 says that in a mine where explosive, gas has been found for three con- secutive~ days only locked safety lamps shall be used for twelve months after, and if at any time during that period gas should again be observed, the miners are compelled to use safety lamps for one year from the time the gas was last noticed. An amendment was added to this Act in 18^7, which was called the " Explosive of Coal Mines Order," which states that no explosives other than " permitt- -ed explosives " may be used in certain classes of mines or parts of mines where it has been found necessary to work with rs that may be u Before the pass >een left to mine LOCAL AND PERSONAL. °/££J[lPn ]] Mrs. W.

On Tuesday the government introduced the modified railway bill. The land grant is entirely eliminated, the money bonus being fixed at $5,000 per mile, in tbe case of the Canada Northern, and $4,500 per mile for the Coast-Kootenay road. —Revelstoke Herald.

Satisfactory Result of an Experiment With a Boundary Mine. The new Elmore process of oil ie Colonist, judging from recent uruerous tests, to promise great to tbe country the greater the atrocity of the deal which gave six- sevenths of the coal areas to political favorites. Canada paid the price which British Columbia demanded for the whole property, one-seventh of which conies to the country and six-sevenths of which goes to people who never paid any- Borrowing Trouble. Tests made on the low-grade ore of one of the Rossland mines gave I the following results : The concentrates by the oil process contained 6.08 per cent, of copper, while concentration by water gave only 2.6 per cent., the silver and gold contents being proportionately higher and the tailings showing much higher recovery in the case of the oil than by the water concentration. Preliminary tests by this process of ore from the Snowshoe mine, Boundary districts, have also proved satisfactory, and it is very probable that several Elmore plants will ere long be in operation in the low grade camps of the province. Crow's Nest Atrocity. The Globe would have the public understand that Hon. Clifford Sifton, says the Toronto Telegram is a "dreffle smart man," inasmuch as he has secured 50,000 acres of Crow's Nest Pass coal land for the country. These coal lands may be roughly divided into the 50,000 acres which are now vested in the country and the 300,000 acres which wer bed by private hands. All these coal lands belong to V British Columbia. British Colum ' bia put its coal fields under option to the British Columbia Southern Railway Company, afterwards known as the Crow's Nest Pass Brigadiers. British Columbia offered these lands, subject to a royalty of five cents per ton on the coal mined therein, as the price of a railway. The Crow's Nest Pass Brigadiers undertook to build the railway and e3rn the coal lands. The Globe- Sifton variety of statesmanship induced the Liberal party to force Canada into the position of building the railway and earning the coal land for politicians who never built anything. ' If it be a triumph of statesmanship for Hon. Clifford Sifton to se- V cure 50,000 acres of coal land for Canada whose money built the railway, how much greater is the statesmanship of the Crow's Nest Pass people who secured 300,006 acres of coal laud without doing anything ? The greater the value of the " When I grow up," said little Ethel, with a "-streamy, imaginative look, "I'm going to be a school teacher."
