NELSON. B. 0., SUM DAT, APRIL 14,
1907
ENORMOUS
PENALTIES
May be Imposed Upon the
Standard Oil Co.
of Indiana
Liable to Fine of Over Twenty-nine
Million Dollars For Receiving Rebates on Oil Shipments
ANOTHER DIVIDEND.
Rowland, B.C., April 13.—The
usual quarterly dividend of 2ft
per cent on the capital stock of
the Consolidated Mining ft Smelting company of Canada was declared on Friday, and is payable
on May 1st. The dividend
amounts to about $120,000.
This is the sixth dividend declared by the company and up to date:
It has disbursed dividends aggregating a little over $700,000.
Chicago, April 13.—The Standard Oil
company of Indiana, which has been on
trial for six weeks before Judge K. M.
Landis, of the United States district
court, tonight was found guilty on.
1463 counts of receiving rebates from the
Chicago ft Alton railroad, on shipments
of oil from Whiting, Inrt., to east St.
Louts, Illinois. There were originally
1903 counts In the indictment, 440
counts failing on errors. If the. verdict
be sustained the oil company is liable
to a maximum fine of $29,270,000. The
Elkina' law which, the Indictment charges the company violated, provides a
One of $1000 to $200 for each offense.
Pending a new trial, which John S. Miller, chief counsel for the defense announced would be applied for Immediately, no penatly will be fixed by the court.
Each count related to a carload shipment When the case came to trial the
attorneys for the defense endeavored.to
have all the counts in the- indictment
thrown out on technicalities, but the
court ordered that each count be taken
up and considered separately, which was
done. The 440 counts on which errors
were found were dropped. The defense
then put forth all its efforts toward
proving that they were unaware of the
tact that the six cent rate had not been
filed with the interstate commerce commission as provided by the Elkina law
Evidence was offered by the government showing that It was the duty of
the company's officials to see whether
the rate was in the hands of the interstate commerce commission.
Touching upon this point judge Landis,
In his charge to the jury said: "The indictment alleges that the defendant accepted a concession knowingly. To sustain this averment the proofs need not
establish that the defendant had actual
knowledge of the lawful rate. It was the
•duty of the defendant diligently to en*
deavor in good faith to get from the
'Chicago ft Alton Railway company the
■lawful rate, by applying to one of the
railroad companies officials. In making this endeavor defen.'an m pre iftu-
n\ to have known that the ra'lrc il company would be guilty of a mn'.•'m-aiwr
if it gave the defendant a rite on inn-
»tate traffic which was not set down on
'paper and a-copy of the schedule fllei
with the Interstate commor a cormn's
Eton."
In regard to an assertion mads by thh
defense that the Standard Oil company
did not know of the existence of the
tariff on which the Indictment was based,
Judge Landis said the case submitted by
the government went to show that there
-was a department in the Standard OH
■company which dealt with oil lots of
less than one carload and that it apparently would have been necessary for
■the head or this department to be familiar with the tariff In'question. The
Jury was out less than three hours and
reached the verdict on the first ballot.
FRUITGROWERSMEETlNG
J QUESTION OP AFFILIATION   WITH
PROVINCIAL SOCIETY
j REVISION    OF    BY-LAWS    UNANIMOUSLY CARRIED.
There was an Interesting session of
the Kooiuuay Fruit Growers' association
yesterday afternoon at a special meeting
of the society, the specified object of
the meeting being the amendment of
the bylaws of the institution. There al-
. so came up, however, the question of the
1 affiliation of the local society with a
[[ reorganized provincial society which
would look after the Interests of the
fruit growers of tho#whole of this province with regard to the marketing of
the fruit In the northwest. Incidentally
came up the Lord's Day Act and the
freight service utid rates. These gave
general dissatisfaction and, In fact, It
was proposed that the association run
a small steamer to pick tip the fruit
The changes in the bylaws are as follows: (1) Date of annual meeting
changed from January to first Wednesday In November; (I!) the president is
well as the directors shall be appointed
by ballot at the annual meeting; (3) the
vice-president and secretary-treasurer
shall be appointed at the first subsequent
meeting of the directors. Articles four
and Ave are unaltered, dealing with quorums and quarterly meetings, but In
article 6 the election of a director to
fill a Tpcancy shall bo made by the
board upon, eight days' notice, not one
, month. Articles 7 and 8, dealing with
! the duties of the chair, are practically
unaltered. In article 9, touching the
rtutlea of the secretary-treasurer the
clause stating (hat no payments an to
be made without the written consent of
the secretary and president Is expunged
and the alteration makes the firing of
a bond by the secretary optional with
the board. Article 10 transfers the duty
of passing of accounts from a finance

committee to the board of directors.
Article 11 deals with exhibition stands.
Article 12 conferring certain privileges
upon associate membership on payment
of an annual fee, is revoked. Article
13, now 12, mikes the financial year end
on October 31 and not December 31.
Article 14 now 13, as to audits, is unaltered. Article 15, now 14, dealing with
changes in the constitution is unaltered.
In dealing with these revisions of the
bylaws there was no exception taken by
the meeting until article 9 was reached,
when, by an amendment the letter book
of the association was thrown open to
any member of the board of directors.
No other change was proposed.
James Johnstone then urged the adoption of a further bylaw by which each
member of the Kootenay Fruit Growers'
association pays one dollar annually to
a central association, the B. C. Fruit
Growers. Mr. Johnstone declared' that
other local associations were affiliating
with the provincial association and there
would be the advantage of cheaper buying of supplies to say nothing of a better organized market.
It was explained that the central association would apportion the markets'
so that local salesmen of the various
local associations would not be sending
fruit to the same place, unless the supply
were unequal to the demand, when notl-
■ication would be made by the central
board. „
The question of the legality of charging a member of a joint stock association an annual fee for such a purpose
was mooted
The mater was then dropped for th«
moment and the bylaws as altered' were
passed as a whole.
James Johnstone moved and T. Morley-
seconded, that the action of the board
of horticulture In enforcing the cleaning
of orchards be endorsed. Mr. Johnstone
said that on a recent visit to the coast
and island he had seen many orchards
overgrown with moss and infested with
all kinds of pests. This carried unanimously,
James Johnstone moved and J. Hyslop
seconded, that delegates be sent to a convention of provincial fruit growers to beheld at Sloamous on April 25 and 26,.
with a view of regulating the market In
the northwest and appointing agents-
there to receive and distribute produce.
In future, Mr. Johnstone explained, the-
B. C .association membership would Derestricted to local associations and Individual members would no longer be<
permitted. There would bo no obanec-
of getting everything arranged tor the
coming strawberry season.
This carried and T. Morley was appointed delegate,
A resolution was then passed, moved:
by T. Morley and seconded by T. M.
Sturgess, authorizing the affiliation of
the Kootenay Fruit Gravers' association with the B. C. Fruit Growers, and
the payment by the local to the provincial society of a per capita charge per
annum not to exceed- one dollar, the
amount to he Bxed by the B. C. Fruit
Growers.
J. W. Ford wanted the association to
take up the matter of the Lord's Day
Act, which If It were enforced would,
prevent the picking of fruit on Saturday
as It could not be shipped on Sunday,
and as no berries could be picked on
Sunday none could be shipped on Monday. Hence no fruit could be shipped
from Saturday to Tuesday.
C. W. Busk pointed out that according to the C. P. R. arrangements fnitt.
could not be shipped In that Interval.
Some discrepancies wore pointed out as.
to the flat rates on fruit obtaining locally and a committee was directed to b»
appointed to take up the whole matter
with the transportation company with a.
view of finding out what were their proposed arrangements for the summer.

Great Britain Has No Hapc of Achieving;
More Than, a Moral Success—Germany Ktieats Raising of Question
London, April 13.—The delegates who
will represent Great Britain at The
Hague peace conference have been selected, and their names will be announced in a few days. Considering the prominent part Britain will take in the conference, In view of her proposals for the
reduction of the expenditures on armaments, there is little public interest
shown' here in the approaching meeting.
This Is largely due to the belief among
public men that the discussions will have
no result so far as the more important
subjects are concerned, owing to the
great divergence in opinion among tho
powers; and the decision of several governments to abstain from partlcipiatlng
in the discussion of any articles of the
Russian program which they believe will
not lead ot useful results. The same
opinion is held to a certain extent in official circles here, but nevertheless the
HrUiPli delegates will be instructed- to
bring up the .question of the reduction
of expenditures on armaments. They
will broach the subject immediately after M. Nelldoff's opening address, in
which the chief Russian delegate will
explain the progruni, if the subject is
uot included In that program.
Great Britain is taking this stop not
because of the belief that the powers
will agree to reduce their armaments but
because she believes the discussion will
have a good moral effect between the
peoples of the various countries.
The British government, therefore,
does not understand why Germany
should dissent from the proposal to
bring up the question, as to nullify it
her delegates would simply have to vote
against It.

Fertile, April 13.—The seriousness 01
the differences between the mine operators anil miners Is the chief topic of conversation here at the present time, and
the teeung amongst businessmen Is one
of great uneasiness.
There can be no doubt that the vote
taken on the 11th In Fernle expressed
the feeling of the men throughout the
district, and also showed that the otfl-
cers of the union could not control tnem
for any length of time in their desire to
cease work until their demuuds were acceded to.
Vive-president Lewis of the United
Mine Wurkers of America, Is expected
hore on Wednesday and until his arrival
nothing of u definite nature will be
known as to what action the men will
take. It is understood that the mine
operators have appealed to the government lor an investigation by a committee of inquiry under the new Conciliation
Act, and the public will then have an opportunity of seeing what the act will be
able to accomplish when put to the test..

The Boundary mines are snipping more
freely and the smelter at Greenwood has
made a record week. Large as are the
totals they will be yet further increnaed
with the completion of the Improvements
now in process of Installation at the properties of the B. C, Copper and Dominion
Copper companies. Unless there Is a hitch
in the fuel situation there Is every likelihood of a record summer in mining in
the Boundary* This also applies to the
Rosaland district, where the taking over
by the Le Rol of the Spttiee, gives an
earnest of work on what Is lecat y regatded
as a promising property.
Nearer to Nelson it may be noted that
the Queen Victoria la about to Instal machinery with a view to ah increased output, and that the La Plata mill this week
wlil increase its output 25 per cent. The

34 miles east of Levis, where the storm
was at its height. Tracks were covered
with drifts twelve feet deep, and train

New York, April 14.—Setting * t rest
ail rumors as to their present Intentions,
J. Russell Peabody, associated with! Del-
phln M. Dehnas, chief counsel for Hi irry
K. Thaw, said late today, after a 45 iiin-
utes conference with the prisoner, \\ iat
an application, for Thaw's release would
be made. As to -what steps would fcue
taken he declined to say. There were
various rumors during the day that habeas corpus proceedings/might be brought*
and It was said that the Thaw family
stands ready to furnish ball In almost
any amount to secure the young man's
release.
District attorney Jerome announced
today that he would vigorously oppose
granting of bail to the prisoner and added that he intended to prosecute hint- for
murder in the first degree. This latter
assertion was In reply to a suggestion
that he had compromised with the defendant's counsel on a plea of Insanity,
and would agree to send Thaw to Matte-
wan.
The next Interesting development of
the day was when Mr. Peabody left
Thaw, after a. late visit, and said, In reply to questions as to stories that Thaw
had changed his counsel.
"Mr. Thaw authorized me to say that
up to the present time he has made no
change of counsel. You may say that as
emphatically as you please. Of course,
we do not know what will transpire next
week."
iMr. Delmas held a long conference
with Thaw today, and Mrs. Harry K.
Thaw saw her husband during the visiting hour.
A somewhat sensational development
of the day was the publication of a letter said to have been written by Howard
Nesblt, ■EvelytoThaw'ir brother;1 explafti-
ing his position- In the case! and asking
for money from Thaw.
Altogether Thaw spent a quiet day In
the Tombs. The Influx of mall at all
deliveries which has kept him busy since
he first went to a cell, was somewhat
jess today. Instead of the one hundred
letters which he recel/d every morning
up to the day of the verdict, but twenty-
nine came In this forenoon and the other
deliveries also fell off.
Mrs. Harry K. Thaw was somewhat
wan and worn when she appeared at the
Tombs today, but seemed in good spirits.
Other members of the Thaw family'remained at their hotel,
Toronto, April 13.—Premier Whitney,
when asked what he thought of the
Thaw trial and its conclusion, said:
"I read practically all the proceedings or the Thaw trial from the beginning. In my opinion Thaw should have
been convicted of murder In the 'first degree. I have no time nt present to go
Into details and give reasons In full. The
Jury were a very intelligent body of
men and seem to Iruvc considered the
matter from a proper standpoint. All
the talk about the high law and the
unwritten law was disregarded by the
jury and very properly so. I was very
much struck by the ability and patience
show by the judge, who evidently desired to prevent a miscarriage of justice.
"Mr. Delmas, counsel for the defense.
In my opinion, showed very great ability in conducting his case in a manner
so as not to antagonize anybody during the whole trial. I was, however, a
little disappointed in his address to the
jury, and it would seem there is a similar feeling among the professional men
ill New York. I think tho district attorney's management of the prosecution admirable. There are many other points
In connection with the trial which I
might dilate upon, but I have not time
now."
The disagreement of the Thaw jury is
the main topic on the streets here and at
the clubs. Opinion Is diversified as to
whether Thaw is insane, but there is o
preponderence of opinion that Thaw
should have been sent to the chair.

DISTRESS GROWS WORSE
AWFUL     INCIDENTS     REPORTED
FROM CHINA FAMINE DISTRICTS
FEVER   AND   SMALLPOX   ADD TO
MISERIES OF PEOPLE.
Shanghai, April 13.—Telegrams received by the relief committee here today
from additional famine districts, report
that the distress is growing worse.
Some of the sufferers are contending
against fever or smallpox in addition to
lack of food.
Many startling incidents are reported,
such as a father knocking his head on
the ground as a sign of thankfulness for
the relief brought by a visitor, the man
being to weak to rise. The face of a
boy who applied for aid was so plump
that at first assistance was denied but
the. lad. was..afterwards stripped and it
was seen that his body was greatly
emaciated the plumpness of his face being due to starvation. A starving man
choked himself to death by swallowing
almost a whole biscuit which had been
given him by a visitor. A woman with
three children was found weeping on a
bridge where her husband had fallen
dead from starvation. A husband, wife
and their five children were found in n
house starving to death huddled together, clothed In rags and eating the bark
of trees, their only'helief. A woman
came to headquarters of the relief in
the field and said her husband had died
af starvation and begged for food for
herself and her few days' old baby.
CONFIDENT Of SUCCESS
PEARY PREPARING FOR ANOTHER
NORTH POLE QUEST.
WILL FOLLOW SAME PLANS AS ON
IUSt LAST TRIP.
Portland, Me., April 13.—Speaking or
his forthcoming attempt to find the
North Pole, commander Peary today sai-1
he expected to arrive among the icefields
tiie middle of July.
His equipment and crew, he said,
would be practically the same as on his
recently completed expedition. He will
buy 200 dogs when he arrives in Greenland. He anticipates that the trip might
be made In about the same length of
time as the 1905 trip, which required 16
months.
"In relation to my plans," said commander Pearj'. "I shall follow almost to
the letter those of my last trip. I guess

American Syndicate's Offer
to Finance Phoenix
Copper Company
Prepared to Pat Up $350,000 for Develop*
meat Work—Boandary Falls Smeller
men Get Increased Pay
(Special to The Dally News)
Phoenix, April 13.—If' the presenl
plans of the Phoenix Amalgamated Copper Mines, Ltd., work out as expected,
the company-will shortly be starting development with a fund of $350,000 assured, to put the properties of the company in shape to maintain heavy ore/
shipments.
The company owns «, block of nhi*
claims in this camp, adjoining the mines
of the Granby Consolidated on the soiuh,
and having 210 acres of mineralized territory, being what was known as tho
War Eagle and other claims In this
camp. The War Eagle was worked some
years ago, and still haB an nir compressor and general machinery plain.
About a year ago the new company was
formed, also taking in two other companies and purchasing several adjoining
claims as well.
President P. P. Buck, of the Phoenix
Amalgamated, from the head ofllce aL
Sherbrooke, Quebec, has notified shareholders <that the company has had an
offer for a large block of shares, which
the board of directors think it wise to
accept. The company has 500,000 snares
of $10 each, of which 200,000 shares are
in the treasury. A New York and Boston syndicate of monled men has offered
to pay $1.75 per share for these 200.000
shares of treasury stock, amounting to
$350,000, payable as follows: $-15,000
within 40 days after deposit of all the
capital stock of the company with the
Eastern Townships Bank, of Sherbroola',
Que., as trustee, and tihe balance of
$305,000 from time to time, as required
to prosecute the work of development
on the company's claims, work to be
started within 00 days niVr the deposit
of the stock as stipulated. A further option on 200,000 shares of suarenolders
stock it also to be given at $1.50 per
share, of which 50,000 shares shall be
paid for in 18 months and the balance
within 24 months.
The directors have favorably considered this proposition, and are now gathering the stock to act upon It. It Is anticipated If the deal goes through, that
development will be started at an early
date, and thus add substantially to the
payroll of Phoenix camp. Mr. Buck is
expected to arrive here before the end
of April, to make preliminary arrangements, if all goes well.
Beginning April 1 the Dominion Copper Co. has raised the wages of the employes at the smelting works at Boundary Palls to the level of that agreed
upon last December between the British
Columbia Copper Co. and its employes
at the time of the difference that occurred at those works. At that Hnle, win1"
a new agreement was made for two
years, the new scale between the BiiUIsh
Columbia Conner Co, and Its BineJtormen
was raised somewhat above thai then
being paid * the Dominion Copper t'»>.'*
works, and the management of I'tae latter has now voluntarily leveled up Us
smelter woge scale with the former. In
dollars and cents it means 'that the men
employed at Boundary Falls will now
receive about $1000 more per irnntn then
hitherto.
Announcement is also made that W.
C. Thomas, smelter superintendent of
the Dominion Copper Co. since the company came under the present management, has been promoted to the position
of geneial local manage,- of the company.
having charge of both its smelting and
mining operations. L, K. Druuimoml,
the local manager up to last week, having been transferred to the NlpbBdng
mine at Cobalt, by M. M. Johnson, consulting engineer for both the Dominion
Copper and Nippissing companies.
Mr. Thomas has made many friends
since coming to the Boundary front Salt
Lake City, not quite two years ago, and
the appointment meets with general satisfaction from residents of the Boundary, as well as with those having direct
dealings with the company.
The last carload of delayed pan* and
fixtures for the enlargement of the Dominion Copper Co.'s smelter, arrived at
Boundary Falls this week, and the work
of getting the new giant furnace in operation is now rapidly nearlng completion, and early May should see It In operation, when the reduction works are
expected to be running through some
1400 tons of ore per day.

COSTLY MR. COTTON.
Among the items that go to make np
the $800,000 of unauthorized expenditures by the McBride government, during the interval betwen dissolution and
the elections, ia one of $15,000 for pub-
Ma works in Richmond riding, This Is
the constituency represented by the
president of the council, Hon. F. Carter
Cotton, the brains of the administration.
No man in tbe legislature knows better Una does Mr. Cotton the impropriety
of a government expending pubtlc monies without tho .consent of the legislature, hot probably no mam realised more
keenly than did Mr. Cotton that without generous expenditures in his con
stituency he could never have been reelected. As It was, in spite of this extra outlay of $15,000, Mr. Cotton only
secured a majority of 6. It may be taken
for granted, therefore, that the president of tbe council will vote approval
of this unauthorlzol expenditure. The
country might have lost his services bad
the money not been expended. Is not
that a sufficient Justification for the unauthorized expenditure of a much vaster
sum than $15,000? Where would the
McBride government have been without
its one brainy member?
Another notable feature In connection with these unauthorized expenditures, is that, whereas the finance minister had originally estimated that only
$4000 would be required tor public works
in the Chllllwack constituency, he found
it necessary to allow an Increased expenditure In that district of $22,000. Under
the circumstances, It la really remarkable that Charley Munro saved his deposit The electors of Chllllwack evidently are not of the class that can bo
Influenced against their own best Interests by the expenditure of public moneys.
The supplementary estimates for 1908-
07 clearly demonstrate that nnarfce minister Tallow's original estimates for
that period were framed more with a

view to impressing the public with a
false notion of the government's economy than with any intention to attain
accuracy.
If Ills estimates for the current year
prove as much at sea as did those for
the past fiscal year, the anticipated deficit of some $60,000 Is likely to attain
proportions nearer the quarter mUMon
mark. ,
Our advices from the Crow's jlcst
coal fields are to the effect that very
great difficulty is being experienced by
the union officials In restraining the men
from at once ceasing work until such
time as the operators accede to their demands. We are Informed that the men
view with suspicion the new Industrial
Disputes Investigation Act, thinking,
wrongly we believe, that In Its enforcement undue consideration will be given
.to technicalities raised by the,operators
and it,is largely because of this distrust
of the new law that the men are unwilling to wait the appointment of a
board of investigation and the result of
the enquiry. Nothing would do more
to ease the present situation than /prompt
action by the labor department, an Immediate acquiescence In the demand of
the men for an investigation free from
red tape and regardless of any quibbles
that may be raised by the operators.
Evidence that the law is to be enforced
with absolute impartiality and that no
delays are to he tolerated by reason of
technical objections would restore confidence and in a large measure reconcile
the men to the delay that must necessarily ensue.

Women in Our Hospitals
■■awn Hi ■ i Hia.lw.n.^i^am.aMHrW)
Appalling Increase in the Number of Operations Peiv
formed Each year—How women May Avoid them.
Going through the hospitals in our
lame cities one is surprised to find euuh
a large proportion of the patients lyin;
on those enow-white beds women am.
girls, either awaiting or recovering from
iierioua operations,
Why should this be the case? Simply
•because they have neglected themselves.
Female troubles are certainly on the
increase among the women of this
■country — they creep upon them unawares, but every one of those patients
in the hospital beds had plenty of warn*
ing in that bearing-down feeling, pain at
left or right of the abdomen, nervous exhaustion, pain in the small of the back,
di.uineM, flatulency, displacements of the
•organ* or irregularities. All of these
isymptoms are indications of an unhealthy
•condition of the female organs, and if
not heeded the penalty has to be paid
'     ■ " -■'-        ""      tliw
[symptoms manifest themselves, do not
drag along until you are obliged to go to
the nospital and submit to an operation
—but remember that Lydia K. Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound bus saved
thousands of women from surgical
operations.
When women are troubled with irregular, suppressed or painful periods,
weakness, displacement of ulceration of
the organs, that bearing-down feeling,
inflammation, backache, bloating (or
flatulency), general debility, indigestion,
and nervous prostration, of are beset
with such symptoms as dizziness, lassitude, excitability, irritability, nervousness, sleeplessness, melancholy, "all-
igone" ano-"want-to-be-left-alone" feet-
lings, they should remember there is one
■tried and true remedy.
Mil. Fred. Seydel, 412 N. 54th Street,
'West Philadelphia, Pa., writes
j*
Dear Mrs. Pinkhura:—
"I was ma very serious condition when
I wrote to you Tor advice. I had a serious
female trouble and I could not carry a child
to maturity, and was advised that an operation was my only hope of recovery. I
could not bear to think of going- to the hospital, so wrote you for advice. I did on yon
instructed me and took l.ydla E. PinkhunVs
Vegetable Compound; and I am not only a
well woman to-day, but have a beautiful
baby girl six months old. I advise all sick
and suflerinp women to write you for advice, as you have done so much forme."
Miss    Lilian    Martin,   Graduate   of
Intining School for Nurses, Brantfo
Ont, writes:
Dear Mrs. rinkham:—
"While we are taught tn the training
schools through the country to look down
upon patent medicines, and while the doc-
ton in the hospitals speak slightingly of
them to patients, I have found that they'
really know different. I have frequently
known Physicians to give Lydia B. Pink-
ham's Vegetable Compound to women suffering with the most serious complications
of female trouble* displacement of orgnns,
and other disorders. They would, as a
rule, put It in regular medicine bottles and
law it "tonic" or'otlier names, but I knew
it wus your Compound and bare seen them
fill It in prescription bottles.' Inflammation ami ulceration hnvubecn relieved and
cured in a few weeks liy its use, and I feel
it hut due to you to give Lydia ID. Pink-
ham's Veget*Mo Compound proper credit."
Lydia 13. Pitikbam's Vegetable Compound at once removes such troubles.
Itefuse to buy any other medicine, for
you need the best,
Mrs. Piiikliam, daughter-in-law of
Lydia K. Pinkham, invites all sick women to write her for advice. Her advice
and medicine have restored thousands to
health.   Address, Lynn, Mass.

OP INTEREST TO MINERS
T|t« t^rra "plgraenta" properly In*
eludes all. coloring matters used in the
preparation of paints. They are colored
powders' which, when mixed with water,
oil or other fluids, in which they are insoluble, form paints. They are distinguished from dyes and washes by their
entire Insolubility in tbe media in which
they are mixed. Insoluble colors, when
used in printing textile fabrics* are distinguished as pigment colors. The sources of materials available as pigments
are numerous; many are native colored
earths; and as this series of articles
deals with subjects "of interest to miners," only, It is Intended to restrict this
subject, as far as possible, to those pigments that are obtained from natural
sources. At the same time It would be
as well to mention that apart from the
natural resources there are several
methods of obtaining pigments from
minerals; notably, those separated from
.the native metallic compounds and artificially from inorganic—principally metallic—sources. The greatest point to lie
considered witn pigment is the "body*'
or covering power of it; that is the property of fully covering and concealing
wltltan opaque coating the surface over
which It Is spread. Many mineral pigments contain or carry with them Ingredients exactly suitable for mixing
with certain fluids, so that they can
easily adapt themselves, so to speak, to
the different circumstances.
The pigments obtained from the mineral kingdom are few In number, but
important on the score of abundance,
cheapness and permanency. The most
important are baryiee, ochres, smalts and
umbers; these will be given In this
order:
Barytes—Barytes or sulphate of. barium, tbe most important of the Baits of
barium, Is found native in large quan-

is commonly called heavy spar on ac- j they are collected and melted down,
count of its weight; its specific gravity * and whilst In a molten state chlorine gas
being 4.3 to 4.6.   It is a brittle mineral,    Is passed through It, forming chlorides
having an uneven fracture. When pure it
Is colorless, but more often than not; It
varies considerably In color owing to
impurities; Its colors range from colorless, to white, yellow, blue, red and
brown, according to the different minerals present. Usually It has a vltreaous
or glassy luster,- Inclining to reBlnous,
sometimes it Is pearly. It always has a
white streak, and varies from transparent to opaque as .he circumstances alter.
Now and again a specimen Is found that
when rubbed with another piece from
the samo source, It emits a fetid odor.
Barytes occur In many different forms
and combinations. The "ordinary" kind
usually occurs in broad and stout crystals, sometimes very large, weighing
upwards of 100 pounds per crystal;
again it la found In very slender needle
like crystals. Apart from the "ordinary"
It is found in a "crested" form; "col-
umnla." "globular,'! "radiated" as in the
Bologna stone; "lamellar," "granular."
"earthy," "compact." and star shaped.
The massive variety found In Derbyshire. England. Is commonly called
"cawk" by the miners; this Is nearly always white In color, though occasionally It has a slight reddlBh tint which
does not affect Its value to any great extent When ieated this mineral occasionally has phosphorescent powers to a
great extent.
The pure pigments (barytes) Is a
heavy white powder , Insoluble In water
and all other rolnslrua. It Is prepared
by heating the native mineral, grinding
It to powder, and well washing It; first
with dljuate sulphuric acid, in ordor to
remove any traces of impurities, and
ifterwards with water. It Is then levigated or "floated," the llghest particles
being the most valuable, and known as
"Boats." The white powder Is afterwards thoroughly dried. The demand
for this pigment Is not very great, otherwise great quantities could he produced.
Its present market value Is from $14.50
to 121 for ordinary ground barytes.
whilst the floated brings from 122 to »83
per tori. It Is principally used as an
adulterant of white lead, and to form
pigments known bb "blanc fixe" or permanent white. For these purposes, (he
native mineral, ground and washed as
above described Is commonly employed. It will be seen that, for these purposes, the mineral should be as free aB
poaBlble from Iron, copper and other
stains; It should also be free from
quartz, as quarts seriously injures the
plates or discs by which barytes are
ground. Should the barytes he stained
to any great extent, or contain other
impurities It Is useless as a commercial
product. A good white color being absolutely essential for Its usefulness.
Baryles Is also used In the maniiaflciire
of pottery. Whilst dealing with the
subject of baryles. it might be as well
tn draw aUenllon to other minerals
which have barium as their principal
metal. Baryta which can readily ho obtained from hnrytes Is largely used In
the manufacture of "beet sugar." It Is
used to separate the crystalline sugar
from the molasses. Tho carbonate or
barium (withorlte) is used In the msn-
ufacture of certain glasses, principally
plate glass, and lo a corlaln extent in
flint, Mass. One of the chief colors in
wall papers owes Its origin lo this metal,
that Is, Cssscl's green, which Is a man-
ganate of barium; this salt is sIbo used
for many other coloring purposes. Tho
nitrate and chloride of barium arc largely used by chemists In their analytical
work. The latter le largely used In the
determination of sulphur. -

very similar to aluminium, but whiter
and lighter. Its specific gravity being
only 1.74. It melts at 760 degrees C.
and bolls at about 1100 degrees. It Is
more oxldliable than tine. The wire
and powdered metal are used In photography, the chief use for magnesium;
though It Is sometimes used to alloy with
other metals; for Instance, magnallum
Is an alloy composed of 100 parts aluminum and from 10 to 30 parts magnesium,

V. O.. Greenwood, B. C—The process

some rarer metals. Should any of these
later be present the bullion will have to
be treated by a more extended process.

CHEAPNESS IN TEA ISN'T
EVERYTHING
Tea Made from Prairie Hay Would be Cheap j
—But Would You Care to Drink It?
fuM^n/\
Tea costs a few cents a pound
more than coarse, broken "leavings," but It Is easily worth the
difference. Besides It Is really
more economical, since three
spoons of it will make more and
better tea than four of the cheap I
stud.   Blue Ribbon tea has the J
richness and   strength    of the
choicest teas grown   In Ceylon
and India.   60c   a   pound   and
worth, more.

new york Fashion letter
New Yolk, April 13—From the very beat
authorities, comes tho news that the separate waist la no longer fashionable:.that
every smart gown must ho finished with
a waist and skirt to match, and yot ngnln
is fashion proved to be wrong tn no i r ns
that 'never were there so many models for
separate waists as there are thin season,
and these can be worn with any kind of
suit—the  tallormade,   the   more   e'nborote
veiling and even wLh the silk skn.   The
lingerie  blouses  are exquisite;   if   jussblfi
more exquisite thnn last year, m:re elaborate   and   extremely  attractive   wl.Ue   the
embroidery is of the finest.   Then once
again hns come Into style iho boned and
fitted  waists of silk and lace.   In fact,
there does not seem to be any material
that cannot be combined with one or two
others, while the variety of colors is endless.   Just new the blouse of the coming
season and tho blouse of the past season
Jostle each other in the shops.  The southern   season   has  forced  tho  former Into
prominence and the Annual spring sales
have lowered the prices of the latter and
brought them forward in the Bhape of bargains.   After all the dIoubo of rtio summer
and of the winter is much alike nowadays,
when many women wenr cobwebby blouses
of lingerie stuff umi lace and embroidery
tin* year round, but It is not the lingerie
blouse that Is figured among the marked
down goods.   It, If attractive enough, will
stand its chance, even after spring and
summer demnnds are in full blast; but the
hosts; of silk and lace and chiffon blouses
made for accompaniments to winter coat
and skirl costumes, or for house wear with,
light skirts, are being Included in the sales
and one may find excellent bargains among
them, '
Lace and guipure blouses although the
windows are full of them, Heem.lesB necessary to the wardrobe than was the case
last year. The blouse that Is correct today
is really a part of the gown nni> Is so
covered by some form of drapery as to
show little except gulmpe and understocks
In many cases it is decorated with the
trimming on the gown. ,
One of Die season's favorites Is the embroidered dross goods. There aro pongees
that are embroidered In self color and
which aro as smart ob they can be. In
this list can toe mentioned a pongee ot
that shade of brown known as old apricot.
This is nothing like the apricot to which
we have been accustomed for seasons. It
is a very pa!e brown; It la sofi. bright and
pretty.
livening clo ks m:d. of (Xtct'y UMutne
material as the dress they accompany, are
tlif latest fad. To each dress one cloak,
one underskirt, one pair of shoes Is the
theory and practice of real elegance. To
these, exigencies will be added that of the
possession of a stripped sunshade to harmonize with the patterns on the dress.
This Is the season of novelties, and the
term can h*i applied to the new foulards
which have a nurfnce which resembles
crepe, yet which nro really foa'nril lit texture and  coloring,
Pattyempnterlos, used bo much now, aro
so fine and much like colored laoe «l)Rl |t

STAR vs. WHITE APPEAL
CROSS-EXAMINATION   OP FOWLER
BY BODWBLL.
EVlDKN<JafoT5WIOKV ATn) MStE-
MAN W. GBSORQE CLARK.
(Special Correspandence)
Victoria, April 10.—The appellants
closed their side of the case today In the
hearing betoro the full court of the Star
M. & M. Co. vs. the Byron N. White Co.
Outside of the photographs identified by
Mr. Fowler, and the evidence of that
gentleman and Mr* Sizer, on the new
work done under the order of the court,
Mr. Davis brought out nothing start-
llnigly new but relied on the evidence
first taken plus what is disclosed by the
new work. Mr. Bodwell evidently takes
tho case very seriously as now framed
since ho spent the better part of today
cross examining S. S. Fowler, M.E., of
Nelson, on his story as to what the new
work showed up. This was further evidenced when Mr. Davis closed his case
this afternoon alter calling W. E.
Zwicky, of Kaslo, and George Clark, of
Saudou, the two men, who hud charge ot
the new work as manager and foreman,
respectively, and Mr. Bodwell commenced I1U1 side of the case In support
of the learned chief justice's Judgment.
The counsel declared the now work had
advanced the case no further than when
it was last on trial, but he made an address of some length before calling his
first witness and it became known that
the views of Max Bochmer, a well known
American expert were to be submitted
10 the court,, not merely on the new
work, but on the whole case, Mr. Bochmer starting from the commencement of
things and just getting fairly underway when the court adjourned. It further transpired that the defendants
bave done further work on their own
account and that they will offer evidence
as to this.
Mr. Justice Martin unnounccd that he
regarded the present hearing as practically a new trial uud he personally
hoped the parties would submit all the
evidence they thought would be of any
use to the court.
In reply to Mr. justice Irving, Mr.
Bodwell and Mr. Davis agreed in stating
that the evidence would probably be all
In on Friday afternoon, but how long
It would take to argue the case neither
counsel could say.
On his cross-examination this morning, Mr. Fowler told Mr. Bodwell how
he took or superintended tho taking of
the numerous photographs put In. The
witness declined to put any Interpretation upon the discovery of the "hidden
drift," referred to' In his examination
in chief. The drift looked, judging from ■
the age of the timbers, as If it had been ■
done .two or three years ago. He did not
auk for any explanation about tbe drift
being lagged, or walled up. ft struck
bin, as a suspicious circumstance.
It was tbe concealment that struck
him at the time that made him suspect
that there was something in the drift
the defendants wanted to hide. What
that something was he did not know.
He believed that tbe concealment was
done purposely to prevent those having
a right to Inspect (lie workings seeing
wnat was there. Ho thought tho main
point It waa Intended to conceal was the
fact that the porphyry Intrusion waa not
encountered until the face of this 130
foot drift was reached. That fact, the
winess thought bad a distinct bearing
on the defendants' contention as part
of their case. It would, in the witness'
opinion, injure the defendants' case If
it was shown where the porphyry intrusion actually came In at tho concealed
point. The bend of the Slocan Star vein
around the mass of porphyry Intrusion,
was the point Involved. A long discussion betwen witness nnd counsel followed on the state ot the extreme west-
em workings in the Silversmith, tho existence of a vlcn of ore, drag ore or ore
In place, being Involved. The witness
denied the existence of a vein, or of ore
In place, tne oro found bolng strictly
"dragged ore" from where. Mr. Fowler
said, he could" not say. The expert's
view, of course, directly contradicts the
evidence of the defendants' experts, who
have sworn and will no doubt swear
again, that a vein Is plainly to bo found
at the workings in the section of the
claim In question, that ore Is In place
there, that It Is not drag ore, and that a
large tfuantlty of ore has actually been
mined and taken out In the course of
development. Gradu-Uy the examination
drifted Into a bat,. between the lawyer and the expert as to the geological
formation of the country through which
the Slocan Star vein, and the black Assure ran through. Both participants In
the struggle had the advantage of going
all over the question in court at the trial
and when this general examination came
to a close honors were about even. Mr.
Fowler having maintained his position
without any serious loss of prestige.
The mass of porphyry, said the witness,

existed before we formation ot tho Star
vein, though probably not In Its present condition so tar as the surface la
concerned.
Did the porphyry mass offer equal resistance with the Slocan Star slate?
When the porphyry mass waa cooling,
what took place? What pressure existed at tho various stages df the earth's
formation? were gone Into over and
over again. Tho point Involved, of
course being, did the Slocan Star vein
turn and bend around the porphyry intruding mass or was a Assure formed'
cutting off the vein abruptly. As a geological demonstration the work of the
morning was highly Interesting, but the
questions involved were treated wholly
from a technical standpoint.
If porphyry ts found In the Slocan
Star vein, It would mean that the porphyry was there Arst. If the porphyry
was mineralised, it might have become
so before it got Into the vein, but probably was mineralized at the same time
the vein was formed.
Turning to the new work at the extension to the south, the witness was
asked about the stringer of ore found
there. It was drag ore, not ore In place.
It was shnved oft a vein nearby, probably the Slocan StaT vein, and brought to
Its present position In the black Assure,
by movement. At the hoist on No. '5
level, the Slocan Star vein on the Aoor
of the lead was approximately 80 feet
wide, where It butted up against tbe
black Assure. No. 2 vein was located
145 feet. away, and the witness was asked
how far ore could he dragged. It could
be dragged and probably was dragged
from the Slocan Star vein 145 feet away,
lite witness said. Thla concluded Mr.
Bodwell's examination and it can fairly
be said that he left the expert pretty
much Just where he found him.
To Mr. Taylor, Mr. Fowler went fully
again Into the question ot drag ore and
where It was usually found, and the
cause of Its appearnnce. Turning to the
formation of the porphyry inlruslon the
witness explained that two kinds of
porphyry were found lu the workings
caused by some of the mass cooling more
rapidly than the other. Nothing that
he had seen or heard to dato had altered
or modlAed his original expressed opinion that the black Assure cut off abruptly the Slocan Star vein at Its westerly
end.
Mr. Davis then called W. B. Zwicky.
the mining engineer ot Kaslo, under
whose direction the new work recently
done was carried out. Mr. Davis originally contended that the court should
rail this witness, ho being more or less
an ofAccr of the court. The court, declined to call the witness and Mr.
Davis now put him in the box. Mr.
Zwicky said he superintended the work
directed by the court. He had not consulted with olther of the parties to tho
suit He had never given evidence In
the action before. He carried out the
instructions of the court as set out in
the order. He described running the
crosscut In the southern extension and
said he stopped when he came to the
wall. Where the wall was reached there
was a radical change in tie material encountered. Continuing the witness went
on to describe the other work done on
Hie southern extension, giving a minute
description of the material encountered
till the wall was reached at this point.
The witness said the new work showed
the extension of the black Assure to the
south. He had no hesitation on this
point, but answered positively. Turning
to No. 2 vela the new work done there,
he said, he found In tlu> 50 feet run.
shipping ore and quartz. 'The walls were
In place. Ho was satisfied that he was
following a vein as far as 'he went. At
the northern extension the' new work
showed the extension of the block assure
In a northerly direction. He proceeded 13% feet and stopped when he reached tho wall. What he crosscut at this
point was tho same Assure that he crosscut at the southern extension already
referred to. He was manager of the
Rambler-Cariboo, American Boy and
some Ainswoi'th properties.
To Mr. Bodwell. the witness said the
stringer ho encountered In the southern
extension was on the footwall of the
Assnro. The footwall of the No. 2 vein
was not well deAned. Pressed on some
general questions as to the rest of the
workings outside of tho three points
where the new work was done, the witness asked to be excused from expressing an opinion. He did not "look
around" when passing In and out of the
mine.

then called by Mr. Davis. He started the
crosscuts in the south extension from
the footwall of the Assure and stopped
when he came to tihe wall to let Mr.
Zwicky see if it was all right. He described the material he went through,
agreeing with the former witness as to
the make up. He was on duty while
all the work was done. He found a
stringer of ore in the lootwall of the
fissure.
The witness declined to express any
opinion as to the result of what was
done at any of the points where the
work was done, arid Mr. Bodwell in his
cross-examination got very little information except as to the actual work
done.
At 3.30 Mr, Davis announced his case
for the appellants closed, and Mr. Bodwell opened the case for the respondents. Mr. Bodwell said Mint the result
of doing the qew work was exactly what
he anticipated it, would be when the
plaintiffs asked to have it done. There
was atlll the same balance of opinion to
be struck between the experts. The defendants', counsel said, had in mi way
altered their ease and would urge now
exactly what they did before the learned
chief justice, that the Slocan Star vein
as shown on the model and map was
one continuous vein and was not cut off
by the black fissure, the latter having
no existence. What tho plaintiffs' claimed to have found by the new work, has
practically never been denied by the defendants. A Assure continuing to the
north and south 88 shown, does not in
any way affect the defendants' Invariable
contention. The Assures claimed by the
plaintiffs are simply "sympathetic
crocks" caused by the Blooan Star vein
bending around the porphyry mass and
taking the winding course It does, ak
to No. 2 vein, It la still another question
whether It Is a branch vein or not. The
new work has proved nothing that was
not known before. There Is nothing before the court that will assist it to do
anything olse than t'he chief juatlpe did,
decide the myth or falsity of the two
expert opinions advanced-
Mr. Bodwell called Max Bochmer, mining engineer, a new witness Introduced
for the Ar.u time in the case. The witness said no was educated tn Germany,
and had practiced his profession for
many years In the states and hail examined and reported, on many mining
properties In the west during the past
28 years, He had recently examined the
workings of the Slocan Star carefully for
the purpose of this trial. He had examined practically the whole mine. It
was necessary to examine the workings
every few feet In order to speak Intelligently. The witness first examined the
surface outcropping of the Slocan Star
vein which, he said, followed a most
tortuous course, one of the most twisted
courses he had ever seen.
The witness explained that he had had
some work done on his own account and
then Mr. Davis made a strong objection
lo fresh evidence nnd a new expert being offered to the court. He thought it
most unfair If the defendants could,
without notice to the plaintiffs, do any-
work they pleased, and then bring witnessed here.
Mr. justice Irving—The form of the
order made covcrB the case.

Nelson, B.C., April I, 1KB,
Mr. justice Martin—I should like to
understand the matter. It seems peculiar.
Mr. justice Irving—At present the ruling is that under the court's order, this
evidence Is admtssable.
The witness then proceeded to describe his inspection of the surface of the
ledge and the new pits he bad made.
He found the vein continuous across the
full length of the two claims. The general geological formation of the mountain was gone into In detail. The way
in which the Slocan Star vein met the
porphyry dyke and passed around it resumed its line of original dip after passing the porphyry mass, was described at
length. Turning to the makeup of the
Slocan Star vein the witness said that
In length, nine-tenths of veins were barren, the rich sections only occasionally
occurring, so that the barren sections in
the StaT vein need exoite no comment
It |s what might be expected.
The Star . vein followed a crooked
00111*86, but the witness knew of others
still more crooked, the winding course
was unusual but not surprising. Coming
into No. 5 level, the witness declared
for a now state of things, or rather his
explanation of what caused tbe apparent'termination of the vein against the
Assure, differed a good deal from anything so far alleged on either side. It
waa the same story as that told by Mr.
Blmendorf at the trial but told In a different way and advancing different reasons for cause and effect He took his
evidence largely from the upper levels
which have been worked out In place
of the lower level used chiefly by the
other witnesses. He was satisfied he
said that the Slocan Star vein bent
round the porphyry mass and that the so
called black fissure Is not a fault fissure at all.   Has no existence In fact.
At this point the court rose for the
day.

EVIDENCE OP ZWICKY AND FOREMAN W. GEORGE CLARK.
(Special Correspandence)
Victoria, April 10.—The appellants
closemheir side of the case today in the
hearing before the full court of the Star
M. & M. Co. vs. the Byron N. Wlhite Co.
Outside of the photographs identified by
Mr. Fowler, and the evidence of that
gentleman and Mr. Sizer, on the new
work done under the order of the court,
Mr. Davis brought out nothing start-
linigly new but relied on the evidence
.first taken plus what is disclosed by the
new work. Mr. Bodwell evidently takes
Jhe case very seriously as now framed
since he spent the better part of today
cross examining S. S. Fowler, M.E., of
Nelson, on. his story as to what the new
[work shoved up. This was further,evidenced wne& Mr. Davis closed his case
this afternoon after calling W. E.
Zwicky, of Kaslo, and George Clark, of
Sandon, the two men, who had charge ot
the new work as manager and foreman,
respectively, and Mr. Bodwell commenced his side of the case in support
of the learned chief justice's judgment.
The counsel declared the new work had
advanced the case no further than .when
it was last on trial, but he made an ad:
dress of some length before calling his
first witness and it became known that
the views of Max Bochmer, a well known
American expert were to be submitted
to the court, not merely on the new
work, but on the whole case, Mr. Bochmer starting from the commencement of
things and just!* getting fairly underway when the court adjourned. It further transpired that the defendants
have done further work on their own
account and that they will offer evidence
as to this.
Mr, justice Martin announced that he
regarded the 'present hearing as practically a new trial and he personally
hoped the parties would submit all the
evidence they thought would be of any
use to the court.
In reply to Mr. justice Irving, Mr. j
Bodwell and Mr. Davis agreed in stating
that the evidence would probably be all
in on Friday afternoon, but how long
it would take to argue the case neither-
counsel could say.
On his cross-examination this morning, Mr. Fowler told Mr, Bodwell howj
he took or superintended the taking of
the numerous photographs put in. The
witness declined to put any interpretation upon the discovery of the "hidden
drift,'.' referred to in his examination
in chief. The drift looked, judging from
the age of the timbers, as if it had been
done two or three years ago. He did not
ask for any explanation about the drift
being lagged, or walled up. It struck
him as a suspicious circumstance.
It was the concealment that struck
him at the time that made him suspect
that there was something in the drift
the defendants wanted to hide. What
that something was he did not know.
He believed that the concealment was
done purposely to prevent those having
a right to inspect the workings seeing
wnat was there. He thought the main
point it was intended to conceal was the
fact that the porphyry intrusion was not-
encountered until the* face of this 130
foot drift was reached. That fact, the
winess thought had a distinct bearing
on the defendants' contention as part
of their case. It would, in the witness'
opinion, injure the defendants' case if
it was shown where the porphyry intrusion actually came in at the concealed
point. The bend of the Slocan Star vein
around the mass of porphyry intrusion,
was the point involved. A long discussion betwen witness and counsel followed on the state of the extreme western workings in the Silversmith, the existence of a vien of ore, drag ore or ore
in place, being Involved. The witness
denied the existence of a vein, or of ore
in place, tne ore found being strictly
"dragged ore" from where, Mr. Fowler
said, he could not say. The expert's
view, of course,- directly contradicts the
evidence of the defendants' experts, who
have sworn and will no doubt swear
again, that a vein is plainly to be found
at the workings in the section of the
claim in question, that ore is in place
there, that it is not drag ore, and that a
large quantity of ore has actually been
mined and taken out in the course of
development. Gradually the examination
drifted into a battle between the lawyer and the expert as to the geological
formation of the country through which
the Slocan Star vein, and the black Assure ran through. Both participants in
the struggle had the advantage of going
all over the question in court at the trial
and when this general examination came
to a close honors were about even, Mr.
Fowler having maintained his position
without any serious loss of prestige.
The mass of porphyry, said the witness,

existed before ».ue formal\M of the Star
vein, though probably not in. its- present condition SO far as til© surface is
concerned.
Did the porphyry mass otfar equal resistance with the Slocan Star slate?
When the • porphyry mass was cooling,
what took place? What pressure existed at the various" stages of the earth's
formation? were gone into over and
over again. The point involved, of
course .being, did the Slocan Star vein
turn and bend around the porphyry intruding mass or was a fissure formed
i cutting off the vein abruptly. As a geological demonstration the work of the
morning was highly interesting, but the
questions involved were treated wholly
from a technical standpoint.
If porphyry is found in the Slocan
Star vein, it would mean that the porphyry was there first. If the porphyry
was mineralized, it might have become
so before it got into the vein, but probably was mineralized at the same time
the vein was formed.
Turning to the new work at the extension to the south, the witness .was
asked about the stringer of ore found
there. It was drag ore, not ore in place.
It vas shaved off a vein nearby, probably the Slocan Star vein, and brought to
its present position in the black fissure,
by movement. At the hoist on No. 5
level, the Slocan Star vein on the floor
of the lead was approximately 80 feet
wide, where it butted up against the
black fissure. No. 2 velft was located
145 feet away, and the witness was asked
how far ore could be dragged. It could
be dragged and probably was dragged
from the Slocan Star vein 145 feet away,
the witness said. This concluded Mr.
BodweU's examination and it can fairly
be said that he left the expert pretty
much just where he found him.
NTo Mr. Taylor, Mr, Fowler went'fully
.again Mo the question of drag ore and
where if was usually found, and the
cause of its appearance. Turning to the
formation of the porphyry intrusion the
witness explained that two kinds of
porphyry were found in the workings
caused by some of the mass cooling more
rapidly than the other. Nothing that
he had seen or heard to date had altered
or modified his original uxppessed opin-
jion- that the black fissure cut off abruptly the Slocan Star vein at Its westerly
end. ^fc.'
Mr. Davis then called "w. E. Zwicky,
the mining engineer of Kaslo, under
whose direction the new work recently
done was carried out. Mr. Davis originally contended that the court should
call this witness, he being more or less
an officer of the court. The court declined to call the witness and Mr.
Davis now put him in the box. Mr.
Zwicky said he superintended the work
directed by the court. He had not consulted with either of the parties to the
suit. He had never given evidence in
the action before. He carried out the
instructions of the court as set out in
the order. He described' running the
crosscut in the southern extension and
said he stopped when he came to the
wall. Where the wall was reached there
was a radical change in the material encountered. Continuing the witness went
on to describe the other work done on
'.he southern extension, giving a minute
description of the material encountered
till the wall was reached at this point.
The witness said the new work showed
the extension of the black Assure to the
south. He had no hesitation oh this
point, but answered positively. Turning
to No. 2 vein the, new work done there,
he said, he found In the 50 feet run.
shipping ore and quartz. . The walls were
in Jjlace. He was satisfied that he was
following a vein as far as he went. At
the:' northern extension the new work-
showed the extension of the black fissure
in a northerly direction. He proceeded 13% feet and stopped when he reached the wall. What' he crosscut at this
point was the sarnie fissure that he crosscut at the southern extension already
referred to. He was manager of the
Rambler-Cariboo, American Boy and
some Ainsworth properties.   .
To Mr. Bodwell, the witness said the
stringer he encountered in the. southern
extension was on the footwall of the
fissure.. The footwall of the No. 2 vein
was not well defined. Pressed on some,
general questions as to the rest of the
workings outside of the three points
where the new work was done, the witness asked to be excused' from expressing an opinion. He did not "look
around" when passing in and out of the
mine.
Wdlllam George Clark, of Sandon
miner, foreman for Mr. Zwicky in doing
the new work ordered by the court, was

then called by. Mr. Davis. He started the
crosscuts in the south extension from
the footwall of the fissure and stopped
when lie came to the wall to let Mr.
Zwicky see if it was all right. He described the material he went through,
agreeing with the former witness as to
the make up, He was on duty while
all the work wag' done. He found a
stringer of ore in the footwall of the
fissure.
The witness declined to express any
opinion as to the result of what was
done at any of the points where the
work was done, and Mr, Bodwell in his
cross-examination got very little information except as to the actual work
done.
At 3.30 Mr, Davis announced his case
for the appellants closed, and Mr. Bodwell opened the case fop the respondents. Mr. Bodwell said that the result
of doing the new work was exactly what
he anticipated it would be when the
plaintiffs asked to have it 'done. There
was still the same' balance of opinion to
be struck between the experts. The defendants', counsel said, had in no way
altered their case and would urge now
exactly what they did before the learned
chief justice, that the Slocan Star vein
as shown on the model and map was
one continuous vein and was not cut off
by the black fissure, the latter having
no existence. What the plaintiffs' claimed to have found by the new work, has
practically never been denied by the defendants. A fissure continuing to the
north and south as shown, does not in
any way affect the defendants' invariable
contention. The Assures claimed by the
plaintiffs are simply "sympathetic
crocks" caused by the, Slocan Star vein
bending around the porphyry, mass and
taking the winding course it does. As
to No. 2 vein, it is still another question
whether it is a branch vein or not. The
new work has proved nothing that was
not known before. There is (nothing before the court that will assist it to do
anything else than the chief justice did,
decide the myth or falsity of the two
expert opinions advanced.
Mr. Bodwell called Max Bochmer, mining engineer-, a new witness introduced
for the first time in the case. The witness said he was educated in Germany,
and had practiced his profession for
many years in the states and had examined and reported on many mining
properties in the west during the past
28 years. He had recently examined the
workings of the Slocan Stat carefully for
the purpose of this trial. He had examined practically -the whole mine. It
was necessary to examine the workings
every few feet in order to speak intelligently. The witness first examined the
surface outcropping of the Slocan Star
vein which, he said, followed a most
tortuous course, one of the most twisted
v'ourses he had ever seen.
The witness explained that he had had
some work done on his own account and
then Mr. Davis made a strong objection
lo fresh evidence and a new expert be-'
ing offered' to the court. He thought it
most unfair if the defendants- could,
without notice to the plaintiffs, do any
work they pleased, and then bring witnessed here.
Mr. justice Irving—The form of the
order made covers the case.

Mr. justice Martin—I should like to
understand the matter. It seems peculiar.
Mr. justice Irving—At present the ruling is that under the court's order, thia
evidence is admdssable.
The witness then proceeded to describe his inspection of the surface of the
ledge and the new pits he had made.
He fonnd the vein continuous across the
fall length of the two claims. The general geological formation ot the mountain was gone into in detail The way
in which the Slocan Star vein met the
porphyry (Jyke and passed around it resumed its line of original dip after passing the porphyry mass, was described at
length. Turning to the niakeup of the
Slocan Star vein the witness said that
in length, nine-tenths of veins were barren, the rich sections only occasionally
occurring, so that the barren sections in
the Star vein need excite no comment
It is what might be expected.
The Star vein followed a crooked,
course, but the witness knew of others
still more crooked, the winding course
was unusual but not surprising. Coming
into No. 5 level, the witness declared
for a new state of things, or rather his
explanation of what caused the apparent termination of the vein against the
fissure, differed a good deal from anything so far alleged on either side. It
was the same story as that told by Mr.
Ehnendorf at the trial but told in a different way and advancing different reasons for cause and effect He took his
evidence largely from the upper levels
which have been worked out in place
of the lower level used chiefly by the
other witnesses. He was satisfied he
said that the Slocan Star vein bent
round the porphyry mass and that the so
called black fissure is not a fault fissure at all.   Has no existence in fact.
At. this point the court rose for the
day.
