SATURDAY, JANUARY 4, 1912 PRICE $2.00 A YEAR OF PROVINCE DURING YEAR Sir Richard McBride, in Notable Message, Tells of Achievements in Past Year and Predicts Unexampled Advance in British Columbia's Prosperity in 1913 ��� Remarkable Growth of Mining Industry Will Continue (Special to Th* Miner) Victoria, Jan. 1:���In a message marked by optimistic patriotism, and eight newspaper columns in length, Sir Richard McBride today reviews, as he did a year ago, the progress of the last twelve months in all avenues of endeavor throughout British Columbia. The year, says the premier, has been one of unexampled prosperity and progress; but great as it has been, he predicts its eclipse by the present year. Sir Richard expresses his obligation to the members of his cabinet, to the people of the province, and to the press for their helpful and considerate co-operation. The message is the most notable and exhaustive review and forecast the premier has yet issued. In railway construction, agriculture, mining, education and other departments, he states, great progress has been made; but another year will see ^ even greater advancement. The coming twelve months, he declares, will show phenomenal growth in the mining industry, even surpassing last year, during which the province reached its record annual production, the total value of mineral products showing an increase of more than thirty per cent. Speaking of the fisheries of the province, the premier declares the present year will see an unprecedented expansion in this wealth-producing industry. After treating of the well-advanced preparations for opening to the world the great public parks of Mount Robson, Kaien Island, and Strathcona. the message indicates the early establishment of a new provincial department to supervise the administration of affairs of municipalities with the object of securing uniform and harmonious action and general economy. The present year will see the (Continued on Page Six) ARE CONVICTED BY JURY Indianapolis, Dec. 30: -After a trial lasting for three months, thirty-eight labor union officials were found guilty of complicity in the McNamara dynamite plots, including the wrecking of the Los Angeles Times building. Frank M. Ryan, president of the International Association of Bridge and Structural Iron Workers, was among those convicted. He, with others, was accused of using the union's funds to destroy the property of contractors, who refused to recognize. the union. All those adjudged guilty were found guilty of all the counts charged in the indictment. After Judge Anderson had cleared the courtroom of all spectators and the families of the defendants, the thirty-eight prisoners were taken into custody by deputy United States marshals and special detectives and were taken to the Marion County jail. Herman C. Seiffert of Milwaukee and Daniel N. Buckley of Davenport, Iowa, the only two men out of the forty labor union officials to be judged not guilty, were discharged from custody. Washington, Dec. 30:- Senator Kern of counsel for the defendants in the dynamite conspiracy cases, when told of the verdict in Indianapolis, announced that the cases would be appealed. "Preparations for the appeal ware made in advance," said Senator Kern, "and it will be made to the United States Cir cuit Court of Appeals in the regular way." Attorney General Wickersham will consider the question of turning over to the various state authorities the evidence taken at the trial, for such action as the state authorities may wish to take toward the possible prosecution of the convicted men on charges of being accessories to murders and destruction of property. Chicago.Jan. 3:���The prisoners found guilty of complicity in the dynamite outrages have been sentenced at Indianapolis to varying terms of imprisonment. Application made here for bail has been granted. Bonds ior $10,000 each will be accepted, pending an appeal, notice of which has been given.

Canadians Knighted ��� London, Jan. 2:���In the list of New Year's honors appear the names of three new Canadian knights: J. S. Willison, editor of the Toronto News; Manager Taylor, of the London branch of the Bank of Montreal, and Hon. L. Anger, ex-minister of agriculture, LOCAL AND DISTRICT NEWS NOTES Rev. R. W.

McDougall & Wrathall have sold their Telkwa poolroom to J. S. Kennedy. M. Holly is now telegraph operator at Aldermere, succeeding M. J. O'Farrell. Local merchants report holiday business considerably in excess of expectations. The new bridge over Twenty- mile creek, on the Manson trail, has been completed. ceeded in repairing the extensive breaks in the lines early in the week, since when communication has been uninterrupted. A. D. MacKay, of Chicken Lake, was in town on Tuesday. He reports good developments on the Coronado and other Hudson Bay Mountain properties. Noel & Rock have removed to the large store formerly occupied by McArthur & Co., where they have ample room for the display of their stock of men's furnishings. Residents of Hazelton celebrated the New Year in the usual noisy and joyous fashion. G. A. Rosenthal returned on Thursday from a prolonged stay at his Chicken Lake ranch. Mrs. G. C. Hartley and children, of New Hazelton, have gone to the coast for an extended trip. Hunter Corner came in from Groundhog on Wednesday. He reports everything all right in the coal district. J. L. Coyle, publisher of the Interior News, of Aldermere, arrived yesterday. Joe has recently enlarged his paper in the endeavor to keep pace with the progress of the Bulkley Valley. Mike Cillo, who stabbed another Italian in a row near Telkwa and was taken to Prince Rupert by Constable Grant, for trial before Judge Young, pleaded guilty and was sent to jail for twelve months. The holiday mails into Hazelton were unusually heavy, but inauguration of the railway mail service lightened the labors of the hardworked postoffice staff. The first mail car was in charge (of Ernest Price, formerly assistant postmaster here. W. McMillan, one of last season's baseball stars in the Pea- vine league, returned to Hazelton for the holidays. The Silver Standard is reported to have over four feet of good ore at the 250-foot level, in a crosscut from the shaft. Ed. V.

Killed By Snowslide Fernie, Jan. 1:���Fifteen carpenters employed by the Crows Nest Coal company were crushed to death by an avalanche of snow, which wrecked the building in which they were working. Austria's Ruler Dying Vienna, Jan. 3:���Francis Joseph I, Emperor of Austria and King of Hungary, is seriously ill, his death being expected hourly. The aged monarch was born in 1830. The heir presumptive to the throne is Archduke Francis Ferdinand, the Emperor's nephew. Turkey's Demand* London, Dec. 30:���Although peace negotiations still continue the outlook is not at all promising. Turkey is altogether too sweeping in her demands and asks that practically everything possessed before the opening of hostilities be restored. The demands of the Bulgarians are quite as impossible as those of the Turks. The former, it is said, desire to get control of the Dardanelles, which among diplomats is regarded as ridiculous. There seems to be little likelihood of a cessation of hostilities. SURRENDER OF ADRIANOPLE TO RESEIOERS IS REPORTED Turkish City, Beleaguered by Balkan Allies, Believed to Have Fallen���Delegates From Warring Nations to Peace Conference in London Still Negotiating; But Unable to Agree on Terms of Peace Paris, Jan. 4:���The surrender of Adrianople to the besiegers is reported in despatches which are partially confirmed by advices received in London. Conditions in the beleaguered city had become so desperate that further resistance was impossible, according to the reports. London, Jan. 3:���Negotiations between the delegates of Turkey and the Balkan nations for a treaty of peace are still continued but are making very little progress. Some of the representatives are still hopeful, while others predict the failure of the conference. London, Dec. 30:���The Ottoman delegates to the peace conference on Saturday presented proposals to which the Balkan representatives flatly refused to agree. The envoys, after fruitless discussion, adjourned. Following were the terms proposed by the Turks: 1. The Province of Adrianople to remain under the direct administration of Turkey. 2. Macedonia to be converted into a principality with Saloniki as its capital. The principality to be under the suzerainty of the Sultan of Turkey, but governed by a prince chosen by the Balkan allies and nominated by the Sultan of Turkey. The prince to be a Protestant. The new principality to be a neutral state. 3. Albania to be autonomous under the soverignty of the Sultan and governed by a prince of the imperial Ottoman family, who is chosen for a term of five years with the possibility of a renewal of the appointment. 4. All the islands in the Aegean Sea to remain Turkish. 5. The Cretan question not to be one for the discussion of the conference, as it is a matter between Turkey and the great European powers. HAZELTON HOCKEY TEAM IS READY FOR ROSS COP GAMES The telegraph linemen sue- New York. Jan. 3:-The Atlantic coast is in the grip of a widespread storm, of great severity. The hockey season opens tonight with a match between the j Hazelton and New Hazelton: teams, on the local rink. The new rink, which has been constructed and equipped at considerable expense, is complete in every respect, affording a large sheet of excellent ice. It reflects great credit upon Allan Johnson, the proprietor. Although the stalwarts who will sport the red and white of Hazelton in the Ross Cup series have had almost no opportunities for practice, the team is in good condition and is expected to give a good account of itself in the opening game tonight. On Thursday evening a meeting of the club was held for the transaction of general business, the making of arrangements for the cup series, and the election of a captain. The latter position was filled to the satisfaction of all by the choosing of R. C. Sinclair, an experienced player who has all the requisite qualities for the captaincy. Duke Harris, the popular manager, gave a satisfactory account of the club's finances, and stated that practically all the players of last year's victorious team had been signed, with a number of new men who were likely to add strength to the team. The new suits and equipment of the team have been received through Cunningham's. The boys should make a hit in their new togs. Captain Sinclair today gave out the following as the probable line-up of the Hazelton team for tonight's game: Goal, Wilson Point, E. Harris Cover Point, Johnson Rover. Sinclair Center, North Left Wing, O'Shea Right Wing, McDonell Hugh Taylor will referee the game, which will start at 8 p. m. Storm Causes Damage (Special to The Miner) Vancouver, Jan. 2:���The heavy windstorm which prevailed throughout the lower mainland of British Columbia on Monday and Tuesday did considerable damage in the aggregate. During the gale the wind reached a velocity of 65 miles sn hour. Canada's Mining Growth Washington, Jan. 2:-Official statistics showing the world's production of gold in 1912 were made public today. The total for the year was $464,000,000. Of this the United States produced $92,000,000, a decrease of $4,000,000 from the preceding year. Canada, on the other hand, gained $3,000,000 in production of gold. Africa heads the list, with the United States second, Australia third, and Mexico fourth. New York, Jan. 3:���The British crusier Natal arrived today, beating the body of the late Whitelaw Reid, ambassador at London.

A CASE FOR THE LABOR COMMISSION In the interests of justice, it is to be hoped that the Labor Commission recently appointed by the Provincial Government will not end its work until it has thoroughly investigated conditions affecting railroad construction workers in this district. The Miner has previously called attention to the many complaints respecting the hospital service and medical attendance furnished to the laborers in return for the hospital fees deducted from their wages, and from a humanitarian point of view this may be still regarded as the most important matter requiring investigation, but it is not by any means the only serious complaint against the firm of Foley, Welch & Stewart. As reported in The Miner some weeks ago, the contractors are now enforcing an order under which workers receiving time checks at any point on construction are debarred from negotiating these checks except at the pay office, where they must appear in person. The pay office is situated many miles from the center of construction activity, and by a noteworthy coincidence is located on the townsite of "New Hazelton", in which prominent officials of the contracting firm are financially interested. While the order in question may be of benefit to the townsite project to which the resources of Foley, Welch & Stewart are being so freely devoted, its immediate effect is to work injustice and hardship on many employees of the firm and its sub-contractors. Even though a laborer receives his time check at a point over a hundred miles distant from the pay office, he cannot realize a cent of the money without traveling to the pay office, making his way as best he can. If he has no money to pay stage fares and hotel bills he must, in many cases, travel in "hobo" fashion���a rather unpleasant mode of travel in winter. Various reasons for the ne"- rale are advanced by the contractors, but none of their arguments in defence of the system appear valid in view oi the facts. There is a bank at Telkwa, at or near which point the pay office might well be established; and construction in the Bulkley Valley has been in progress long enough for the firm to have made the necessary dispositions for the prompt payment of time checks by some system less arbitrary and unfair than that now in force. The Labor Commission should also inquire into the charge that parties of laborers have been brought from the coast, to find, after reaching distant camps, that there was no work for them. When the Commission comes to investigate conditions along the Grand Trunk Pacific construction, we hope these matters and other grievances of the construction workers will receive the atten- which fairness demands. RAILWAY OFFICIALS INDICTED BY JURY New York, Dec. 30:���Charles H. Mellen, president of the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad Company, and E. J. Chamberlain, president of the Grand Trunk railway of Canada, who were indicted for violation of the Sherman law, entered pleas of not guilty and were released in $10,000 bail each. Ottawa, Dec. 30: Tt is believ- ee here that a possible settlement of the Grand Trunk differences is in sight. The indictment of President Chamberlin by the federal grand jury in New York was a shock to his friends. After two years' campaign in securing the good will of a large part of New Englanders based upon promises of development and competition in the territory, the sudden abandonment of construction work was followed by the announcement of a working alliance with the Mellon interests. It is believed that financial arrangements have practically been effected with the Boston financial interests whereby the whole Grand Trunk construction policy in New England, including its entrance into Boston, will be provided for as asked by the Massachusetts legislature. Notice is hereby given that Peter Daniel Carr, of Telkwa, B. C, will apply for a licence.to store or pen back 10 cubic feet per second of water from Canyon creek, a stream flowing in a northwesterly direction and emptying into the Bulkley River on N.W. J section 7, Tp. 2a. The water will be stored in a reservoir of 4,500,000 gallons capacity to be built at S. J lot 1196 and will be used for industrial purposes under a notice of application for a license to take and use water, posted herewith, on the land described as North i of Lot 1197, Tp. 2a, Range 5, Coast District. This notice was posted on the ground on the 11th day of December 1912. The application will be filed in the office of the Water Recorder at Hazelton.
