The Stipendiary Magistrate s court was crowded to the limit last Saturday-morning, when evidence was heard in the .Oueen-Brackett assault case on Willow Creek. Wm. Queen pleaded his own case, while Mr. Grant ~ appeared for de: fendant. , Mr. Queen stated he was a- free . miner by occupation and a resident of Atlin. " He located on ' the 25th January, 1899, the creek placer claim known as the "Alice" on Willow creekf holding- theii-a^fice miners' certificate. The next witness was Commissioner Graham, who produced the original record, handed- to him by the Special Commissioner, * Placer Mining Record 33, v,l. 37, certifi- ' cate 2596A. Order of judge and plan also produced. Geo. A. Brackett sworn, (called by Mr. Queen):���You know the defendant, T. T. Brackett? I do. Is he your son? Yes sir. Has he lived with you at- home? Yes sir. Is he in your employ? He is one of lhe company. Then the defendant is one .of the company? Yes sir. What is the name of the company? Atlin Willow Creek Gold Mining Co. Who is the manager and president of the company? I am. You do all the business connected with the company? Yes. Is your son a shareholder or stockholder? Yes, a stockholder. What stock does he hold? I will not answer.. Is he not in your employ as an individual? He is in the employ of the company. Under your directions? Yes sir. Is he under sal: ary? Yes sir. Did you send him to Willow creek to prevent me from working on ground there? No sir, I did not know of it. Wm. Queen, to the Court:���On Saturday, 28th of this month, (Saturday last,) about 2 o'clock in the afternoon, T. T. Brackett came up to me where I was working on the "Alice" placer claim, as per record and re-record, and ordered me to cease work. The words he used were: "I came up here to put you off this ground." I asked him for his,< authority. He told me he was sent to do it. Tasked him by whom, but he would not tell me. ,1 asked him if he had any papers to show and what he proposed to do. He said he had not. I asked if he was bringing 'an officer or if he were sent by an officer, and he said no. I told -him to be very careful ol what he was doing, .for I was on my own ground. , I told him I had got it-surveyed-by the surveyor, and knew where I was working. I asked him again by what authority he came to do this. He fold me he had consulted all the authorities in Atlin and Discovery, and if I wanted to see Judge Woods,he was at their place at Discovery, and I could see what he would do for me. He came down- to the hole where I was working to take hold of my rocker, saying he was going to upset it, and I told him if he was I would strike him with ni)' shovel to protect my interests. I again cautioned him to stay back, aud not.interfere with my property, told him that if he thought I was on his property to go and get a surveyor and have the claim surveyed, and if I was on his property I would leave at once. Then I put down my shovel on the ground and the first thing I knew he jumped and caught the shovel and wrenched it out of my hands and pulled me down. I held on as long as I could and.then let go. I then went up out of the hole and on to the bank to get my pick, and he ran after me, struck me in the back and landed me in the bushes on my face. I am getting on to 60 years. Then he took my pick from me and took away the shovel, deprived me of the use of both ol them to work with, and then he picked up an old axe that was on the ground and went down into tbe hole and upset the rocker and the earth in it, picked it up, threw it out of the hole on to the bank, took the axe that he had , in his hand and smashed it all into pieces. Exhibit C is part of my rocker. , - There was another rocker f had there, and lie smashed it also, and said, 'Now you can go ,aud .work "there; you can take the pan if. you like.' The pan was no use to work with. To Mr.; Grant���He hit me on the lower part of my back with his hands. I went up on the bank to get the pick to defend myself, if needed, "and go to work. We discussed tlie question of titles. He said it' had been given to the party from whom he bought by Judge Irving last year. The question as to cl*- im; having been before Judge Irving did not come up. I did not say, "Damn the judge!" He went away after rocker was broken. ' Mr. Duvalstarted to'rock' on Monday. I ���started "on Thursday or Friday, and rocked on Saturday. I do not know what* portion of ground Mr. Brackett claims. Mr. Justice Irving told me that he would not cancel my'record. There was no dis- pute as to property until Saturday afternoon,,, when Mr. Brackett claimed it; as his ground. I claim it as mine and am in possession. I claim in all events the actual spot where I . was working on Saturday last at the. time of the assault as my ground.' :- The ground k.-.own as the "Alice" -placer claim was before Judge Irving. T claim the ground first, because ��A din-Bennett--Act- is disallowed; second, that the judge gave it to me after a second investigation1, and third, I claim it because I staked it in January, 1899, and recorded in January, 1899, aud rerecorded in January, 1900, aud complied with all the conditions of the'Placer Mining Act of British Columbia from that time to the present. Mr. Duval,'sworn: I know situation of "Alice" mineral claim on Willow creek. I know where stakes were last. I saw where you were working last Saturday. As far as my knowledge goes about that property, I think it is yours. According to the decision of Justice Irving the property would be Mr. Queen's. ' Last summer I staked the Quebec fraction. To .Mr. Grant���I sold Quebec fraction to Mr. Brackett. 1 will swear that he was not working 011 Brackett's grmnd. Queen's claim is towards Discovery from Brackett's claim. It is over 100 ieet wide. Mr. Queen was working within Quebec stakes. Did not sell any ground on Quebec fraction west of my stakes. Am a railroad man and miner. Was on the C. P. R. and W. P. & Y. R. Am a freighting clerk. S.takes were on claim on Saturday night. I sold to Brackett for Mr. Lindsay. Brackett told me, since' assault, when we were on the ground, showing me the spot where Queeu was working: "That is where .Queen was working." Brackett claims the whole ground, and he told me on Saturday night that he was mistaken about it. Wm. E. Gibson, sworn: I know T.1 T. Brackett.- I did not send him up to see about stakes. I am one of Brackett's company, and am employed by them. I am foreman. I knew he was .going up the creek but did not know what he was going to do. ' He told me what he had done, He said he knew you were on the company's ground., I did not know that Mr. Brackett was up to put you off the ground. I had the first intimation when he came aud told'me iu the afternoon. .He said he put Mr. Queen off the company's ground, but did not hurt him. He said he broke the rocker. Mr. Grant then cited sec. 842 of code, and' Judge Woods dismissed the case for want 01 jurisdiction. Quite a lively scene took place outside of the police court when Constable Heal proceeded to arrest Wm.. Queeu, ror contempt of court. It appears that the lattei gentleman wasaddressing a number of persons who had been "spectators at the trial, and, it "is understood," made several uncomplimentary remarks about the judge and the manner in which he had been dealt with. The remarks, unfoitunately, were overheard by the judge, who was passing by at the. time. He Thereupon instructed ' the constable to arrest him���Queen���who in consequence spent an hour aiid a half in custody. Now, it appears, as the outcome of this last chapter, Mr'. Queen intends bringing action against Judge Woods,1 in the Supreme couit, claiming $2,500 damages for false arrest and imprisonment. CLOSING OUT. The B. A. Corporation Stores and Buildings Taken Over by Mostyn Williams. We are iaa position to state that Mr. Mostyn Williams, manager of the Atlin Lake Mining Co., at present operating extensively on Birch creek, and the possessors of large interests in the vicinity of the Halfway House, where the company's offices are situated, has bought out the branch store of the B. A. Corporation at Pine.1 as well as the hotel department of the comr anv at Atlin. This latter will continue under the able supervision ol Sandy McPherson, and will, 'or ought'to be, re-christened the Rothesay Bay. The B. A. C. have other deals 011 hand Hearing consummation, but at present it,is premature to particularize them further. MONRO MOUNTAIN. The Nanaimo mine on Monro mountain is steadily shipping good ore to the Anaconda stamp mill. A '.'fault' occurred in the ledge lately, but it was picked up again with a 13-foot exploring drive. The tunnel run in to catch the ledge at a lower level has successfully encountered it, and the ore at preseut being crushed is from this part of the mine. 1 ���J uiaa! I ��� SATURDAY, AUG. 4, 1900.

No paper will be delivered unless these conditions nro complied with. The striking of food pay gravel, at a depth of 35 feet, on Gold Run, ' , is an event of more than passing importance. The creeks, in which working for the precious metal has been hitherto done, are, 'in their very nature, short-lived as "gold- producers, and any district depending entirely on this phase of mining has only an ephemeral existence. The classes of mining which give 11 camp a' hold on futurity are -quartz and deep leads. Hydraulic mining, however profitable it may be to those immediately depending on it, is, after the preliminary outlay, of very little value to the business people of the district. As a rule these companies import their 'own goods, keep their own mess houses and restaurants, and do not even give the local banks the handling of their gold. They may be properly described as close corporations. The whole reason for their existence, as defined and intended by our lawgivers, was to work out aurifeious gravels which could not possibly be worked by the individual miner with his limited resources, and the _ scene of their operations is expressly confined to abandoned ground or ground which will not pay for manual working. No one can deny that the individual miners, working independently, are the very life-blood of a camp, and, as such, are entitled to all the protection and encouragement which can be given them. Their welfare is the paramount issue. The indiscriminate granting of hydraulic leases whilst the mines are giving profitable employment to hundreds of men, must be something in the natuie of a mistake.. The hydraulic mens' and the miners' interests are always antagonistic, aud never ceasing trouble is the necessary consequence. The richer party has a tendency to ride rough-shod over the others on the plea that his expenditures are so vast compared with those of the miner, but that plea does not. hold good, as the miners ir. the aggregate have spent far more money than all the hydraulics together. In the new rush to Gold Run, we hope to see the claims confirmed to the miners. Judging by present appearances, it means steady and profitable employment to hundreds of men for years to come. This is what is wanted, and not ground made over to hydraulic companies which iu so many cases ������ have vital flaws in their make up,' either financially or from v ant of water, dump or some other thing essential to their success. All placer ground good enough to pay by hand working, belongs undoubtedly to the miners who are able and willing to so work it. That is the strict spirit and intention of the law, and the law is a just one. likely to have any representation in the Legislative Assembly during the present session. Perhaps a select committee maybe appointed to look into the muddle and Messrs. Clifford and Stables may yet occupy the seats, but is about an even' wager whether they do or not, as the.session, it is generally thought,, will be a very short one, from three to five weeks being the duration gei.erally assigned to it by those most competent to judge. We fail to ,see how Captain I living's protest can be of any service to that gentleman, He was a carpet-bagger before the election, although the fact was kept carelully concealed, to hoodwink the voters. Now that every, one knows it, a new election would see him buried so deep that his friends wouldn't know where to place his tomb-' stone. 1 British jrfmerka Corporation, ��1 J ATLIN, B.

The ninth Parliament of British Columbia was opened with .unprecedented pomp aud style on the 19th Jul}-. A new governor and a' new. government made their initial bow-to the .public, simultaneously, after a period- of turmoil and uproar which has been hitherto unparalleled in the history of the Province. Premier Dunsmuir and his colleagues were early in their places. Hon. Mr. Eberts sat at his right, Hon. Mr. Turner at his left, and Hon. Messrs. Wells, Prentice and McBride taking seats in the rear rank in the order named. At the eleventh hour Returning Officer Garvin succeeded in locating 1 he lost Cassiar ballot boxes at Skagway, and arrived with them on the eve of the opening, fixing the official count for this morning, says the Province of the 20th ult. Messrs Clifford and Stables attended in their own behalf, while Capt. Irving entered a formal protest against the count proceeding on the grounds: (1) That the time for the return of the writ had expired, and (2),' that the balloting had been incomplete, 23 registered voters of Lome creek Hazelton and Skidegate, having had no opportunity of expressing their views. The returning officer ruled that the "objection must be raised iu the courts and that the count should proceed, whereupon Capt. Irving retired, having named as his special agent C. H. Gibson, who also represented A. Godfrey. The third ballot box had been taken up when tlie commodore reappeared, accompanied by Deputy Sheriff Siddall, to serve .upon the returning officer an order of Justice Drake,, restraining him from making any returning of the count until argument shall be heard on injunction proceedings to-morrow noon. This was interpreted by Mr. Gar vin as not debarring the continuation of the count, which was completed at 3 this afternoon, the totals standing: Clifford, 3T8;Stables, 277; Irving, 244; Godfrey, 198; rejected 34; spoiled, 2; total vote polled 653. In Bella Coola ten ballots- were thrown out on account-.of' the deputy's stupidity, he having failed to use the official stamp, while improperly writing in the voters' numbers in a matiMer by which each might be identified. Clifford and Irving lost three elsewhere by marking outside the circle, but the respective standing of the candidates was unchanged. The Bella Coola blundering, with failure of the ' boxes to reach Hazelton, Skidegate and Lome Creek, made it possible for Capt. Irving to have tied Stables,aud this point will be pressed in the captain's application to void the election. In view of the court's restraining order, the returning officer has formally refused to certify even to Clifford's return. Application to.

The correspondent of the London Daily Mail" at Las Palmas, Grand Canary, reports that an officer of a Highland regiment arrayed in a kilt created a sei.sation in Las Palmas recently, and narrowly- escaped arrest for being improperly attired. He had landed from the transport Lake Erie, and on the promenade and in the hotels the unusual sight of a "man-petticoat" caused a flutter among the local ladies. "Girls turned their heads away on seeing him pass," say the "El Telegrafo," of Las Palmas, "and screamed as if they had seen a poisonous reptile. We noticed that certain ones amused themselves with an insane curiosity as to his Scotch stockkgs." After .describing the Highlander as wearing a garment which "from the waist downwards was a kind of loin cloth that exposed half his thigh," the "El Telegrafo censures the Town Council for allowing any one to appear in such guise.

Gold , Run enters Pine about one and a half miles above Discovery, and has by many been considered to be the old channel ol Wine creek, but the depth of sinkiug'has deterred efforts at finding out if such was really the case. However, one man had the courage of his'cuivictions and sunk until lie readied bedrock, 35 feet, Tlie results were gratifying.

The provisional demarcation line between Canada aud the United States, as being laid down in the Porcupine district, is causing no end of surprise and growling amongst the American miners in that region. -Nearly half of the Porcupine creek is now declared ,to be British, besides the most "of the Dalton trail. Other mining localities which were popularly supposed to be surely American, are found'to be in the same fix. The American miners have held mass meetings and petitioned President McKinley to .have this injustice (?) remedied, but it does not seem to have struck them that if they are dissatisfied to live aud work under the Union Jack, they have always the option of packing up their goods and chattels and leaving Estimates from the Porcupine district place the season's output at $250,000. POLICE COURT.. At the Police Court on Wednesday, Frank Brittoh was had:up before Judge Woods on a charge of aggravated assault and battery on the person of one Sanderson, in the Kirkland Hotel, on ,the previous evening. Prisoner was found guilty and fined $20 with costs aud also was saddled with a _$io doctor's bill. He was afterwards tried on a charge of drunk and. disorderly, found guilty again .and fined $ro and costs. The fines were paid in both instances. ��� Mr. Myers, oi the Pioneer bakery and restaurant, has gone off on a well-earned ten days vacation.

The first of a series of matches between the Atlin and Pine clubs for medals came off at " the recreation grounds at Pine on Saturday afternoon, aud after a hot contest, resulted in a tie, each side scoring two goals. These matches would be productive of more pleasure to the spectators if there was less wrangling connected with them. It is most unsportsmanlike. In any well-regulated club a member challenging the decision of the referee would be liable to heavy fine or expulsion. At the conclusion of the match, a tug-of-war, Scotch against French, followed, the Scotch winning easily. Balls took place in the evening at the Nugget hall and the Macdonald hall, a good time being had in each instauce. THE ENGINEER MINE.- - The EngineeV minej' on Taku arm,' has about jo men employed at the, present time. They <- are engaged putting in a tunnel to cut the ledge at a depth. The surface, outcrop is between 30 and 40 feet in width. Tn the same locality is a ledge with a surface showing of 60 feet, staked out for Mrs. Hitchcock. Our correspondent informs us that the latter is the most promising looking thing in quartz that he has seen iu the country. , NARROW ESCAPE. Whilst on a fishing excursion last Saturday, Messrs. De Gex, Green and Falls had an accident that providently did not prove fatal to either of them. The canoe in which they were, got capsized at the ATLIN LITERARY .SOCIETY. Under this rather' fetching appellation, a society has been inaugurated for the purpose of fitting and furnishing . a reading room and place of social resort for the winter mouths. The officers'appointed .* re J. H., Brownlee, president; J. D. Graham, vice-president; A. Godfrey, treasurer, and W. W. Grime, secretary, pro tern. Two handsome rooms have been secured over For- tin & Lecappellain's drug store, and it.is hoped to have them ready for occupancy within a week. The larger room will be used as a reading room and the smaller will be supplied with materials for playing chess, draughts, dominoes, etc. Members' subscriptions are fixed at one dollar per month, and. voluntary subscriptions will be thankfully received by any member of the committee. The initial expenses for furniture will be considerable, but doubtless our citizens will contribute cheerfully to help this useful society get on its feet, after which it will be self-supporting. The president has contributed $50 worth of books.and all contributions of books and magazines will be acceptable: The committee authorized to collect subscriptions and applications for membership are Messrs. Bickle, Samrsons, Cameron, Wilkie, Grimes and Cummings. The crop of agaricus, or common mushroom, seems, from some unknown reason, to be a total failure this summer. Our Lucullian reporter, with a long nose, a sweet tooth, and a keen eye for the dainties, has paid repeated visits to the habitat of the succulent edible, but has had to return with an unsatisfied longing and an empty basket. As the season is now well on, hope is gradually departing, and all ��� tlie joys 'we have in anticipation revelled in, vanish like the baseless fabric of a vision, leaving not a wrack behind. As Joey Bagstcck would say:���It's deui'd tough. H. M. Wells, late schoolmaster in x\tlin, paid us a visit on Monday. Mr: Wells is now busy hunting filthy lucre amongst the boulders or McKee creek, and candidly admits it to be harder work than teaching the young idea how to shoot. . We hope to see Mr. Wells "get there" with both feet as a reward for his plucky attempt to pluck fortune from her lair. The Bank of Halifax has on view the nugget lately found by Mr- Harrigan on his claim, 6 below on Pine. The nugget is entirely free from quartz aud weighs exactly 29 oz. 10 dwt.; value at $16 per oz., $472. "It has no particular beauty except that derived from its intrinsic value. No man of taste would wear it on his watch chain or sport it as a scarf pin. Charlie Gardiner was in from McKee this week and reports the claims yielding better than ever, aud general contentment pervading the scene. He says McKee will stand well up on the Est of gold- producing creeks this summer. A stampede has set iu from Ju- neaxi to Glacier Bay, eight miles distant. Payable gold,, it is claimed, has been found on the bars oi Lemon and Mendenhall creeks.

Gold, silver, galena, nickel, precious stones, etc.. are mighty plentiful commodities around Atlin, or else -the ewr- blooming and cheerful liar is abroad in the land. Granted that one tithe of the reports are genuine, this will develop into one of the richest camps in the world, a consummation devoutly to be wished. One mining enthusiast the other evening had his pockets full of samples of valuable (or supposedly so) stones. He reeled their names off chalcedony, etc., -until we imagined he must have struck the old quarries from which the - celestial city was built, or was palming off on us a garbled version of the Book of Revelations.

The proceeds of the ' entertainment are to be devoted to the hospital, and as. the object is a laudable oue, it goes without, saying that their efforts will be crowned with success. The tickets have been placed at the modest sum of 50 cents, and may be obtained at Rice & Hastie's hotel, or ' at Mrs. Gregory's, First street. There is quite an exodus going on t�� the Toochi, and reports of placer as well as quartz finds, are in vogue.
