VOL. II, NO. 28 HAZELTON, B. C. SATURDAY, MARCH 15, 1913 PRICE $2.00 A YEAR OPPOSITION CONTINUES TO OBSTRUCT LEGISLATION Liberal "Loyalty" Displayed in Debate on Naval Aid Bill- Admiralty Memorandum Shows Fallacy of Opposition Contentions���Still in Continuous Session (Special to The Miner) Ottawa, Mar. 13:���The legislative blockade continues, the Liberals refusing to abandon obstructive tactics. The deadlock may be broken for a short time to pass supply; but will probably be resumed. All members have grown accustomed to continuous sessions. The feature of the week came on Monday, when the premier, having obtained the consent of the admiralty to read the whole of the naval memorandum, gave the document to the house. It shows the utter futility of the opposition scheme, whi^h would ^cost seventy-five million dollars. The Liberals having called for the information, the document acted like a boomerang. On Tuesday, the Liberals, enraged by the effect of the memorandum, even made accusations against Churchill, reading into the admiralty statement much that was not there. Some talked of the possible separation of Canada from the Empire. Hon. H. R. Emmerson was the most outspoken of the Liberals, reading from the American declaration or independence, and declaring that the warning which was not taken by the British govern ment in 1776 should not be forgotten by British statesmen today. Taunts flew thick and fast across the house. ANOTHER MINE SHIPPING -ERIE RESUMES WORK -MUCH MINING ACTIVITY (Special to Tho Miner) Ottawa, Mar. 14:���It is reported the house rules will be amended next week and the naval debate will be subject to the closure. Sir Wilfrid Laurier is ill. ��� Disgraceful scenes continue to mark the continuous session. Liberals, as a joke, turned out the lights last night. Premier Borden received from Sir Richard McBride a telegram saying: " My colleagues join me in expressing admiration of the splendid fight you are making on the naval question and your determination that Canada shall give assistance in the defence of the Empire until a permanent policy is decided upon. You have the support of British Columbia. A great majority of Canadians must feel that you are acting in the best interests of the country." Mr. Borden replied that he appreciated the endorsation and was determined, in the face of unworthy obstruction, to press the proposals to conclusion. DEMONSTRATING NEW CONSUMPTION CURE Ottawa, Mar. 12:-Dr. Friedman, the German scientist whose new treatment for consumption has attracted such world-wide attention, demonstrated his methods today in the hospital here before a gathering of distinguished physicians. He operated quickly upon many patients in all stages of tuberculosis. The j,tcne was a tragic one, the pathetic figures of the patients lending it a pitiful aspect. Dr. Friedman will return to the city shortly to see the effect of his clinic. He was received by ihe Duke of Connaught, returning to New York. Later he will visit Winnipeg and perhaps British Columbia before returning to Germany. He is today the most-talked-of physician in America. Toronto, Mar. 14:���Dr. Friedman treated fifty tuberculosis patients in Montreal and twenty here.-. He will return in a month. A patient treated in New York tells of .strange sensations, declaring he already feels new life. ,Dr. Friedman uses bacillus from a marine turtle. Perth. Ont, Mar. 13:--Hon. John G. Haggart, M. P. for South Lanark, died today, after a long illness. He was one of the veteran Conservative members, having fought and won in ten general elections. SUING FOR PAYMENTS ON NEW HAZELTON LOTS The Northern Interior Land Co. has brought suit against a prominent business man of Hazelton to enforce the second payment on two lots in the construction town. Nearly two years ago, when there was a prospect that New Hazelton would develop into a permanent town, the purchaser selected two lots, on which he made a payment. Developments not justifying his removal to that point, he asked for the cancellation of his agreement, offering a money inducement, in addition to forfeiture of the payment already made. The company refused the offer, insisting on the purchase of the lots. Bowser Scores Opposition (Special to The Miner) Vancouver, Mar. 13:���In an able address delivered here, Hon- W. J. Bowser reviewed the work of the recent session and took occasion to answer the Liberals' criticisms of the elections act amendments and the methods adopted for preparing the new voters lists. Ample notice had been given, the attorney-general said, and every elector had a chance to register. He was particularly anxious to get every liberal on the list, believing they were likely to vote Conservative when the next occasion arose. He scored the Ottawa opposition for their obstructive tactics in the naval debate. ��� The Erie mine, one of the best-known properties of the district, is to resume development immediately. E. L. Kinman, the principal owner, came in on Wednesday and immediately made the necessary arrangements, letting a contract to Harris Bros. & Mullan for 446 feet of work, including a crosscut tunnel. Duke Harris and Jack Mullan, the latter of whom will have immediate charge of the work, have engaged men for three shifts, and ground will be broken on Monday. In the meantime, the big ore dump is being sorted and sacked, and two cars will be shipped next week, the first leaving on Monday. The ore, at present metal prices, will run $170.00 gross. The freight rate of $6.40 to Prince Rupert is considered much too high, and Mr. Kinman is making an aggressive fight for a fairer schedule. It is believed the railway company will reduce the rate. Mr. Kinman has received treatment quotations from the Tacoma smelter which will greatly interest silver-lead miners, marking as they do, a considerable reduction in smelting rates. For ores carrying less than 35 per cent, lead the new rate is $5; 35 to 40 per cent, ores will be treated for $4; 40 to 45 per cent., $3; 45 to 50 per cent, $2; 50 to 60 per cent, $1, with no treatment charge on ores carrying over 60 per cent. The former flat rate was $8 a ton. The freight rate from Hazelton to Tacoma is at present $9.50, and settlements are on New York quotations at time of receiving ore. The zinc penalty has been reduced from 50 to 30 cents per unit over 8 per cent. All of which means that the smelter is anxious to obtain lead ores. John Huderle and Harry Walker, accompanied by Phil Morris, left yesterday to begin the season's work on their placer claims at Manson, Preliminary work was done last fall, and plenty of water will be available for their ground-sluicing operations. The gravel carries good values, and they expect to clean up a good sum with a comparatively small crew. Frank A. Brown has just returned from Butte, where he was successful in making arrangements for the development of the Owe Lake group, in which he is now associated with Montana capitalists. As soon as the snow goes off an examination of the property will be made, and plans will be prepared for active work, which will begin about May 1. Amos Godfrey, field superintendent for the Copper River Coal Syndicate, returned during the week from a visit of inspection to the big property on Coal creek. He informed The Miner that, on a conservative estimate, there was 66,000,000 tons of coking coal in the two principal seams, which prospecting shows to extend over at least five sections. The pitch of the coal and the development of other workable seams is expected to largely increase the quantity. On Spring creek, where Superintendent F. B. Chettleburgh drove a 62-foot tunnel to prospect a new exposure of the main seam, the face shows: bottom coal (minable), 6 feet 4 inches; fire clay, 7* inches; top coal, 2 feet 7 inches. The dip is 34 degrees north, 48 degrees west and the strike north 42 degrees east Considering the high quality of the coal, this is a remarkably good seam and a fine working proposition. Mr. Godfrey is now on his way to Groundhog, where his companies have several large areas of coal land, with excellent showings of the anthracite coal which has made the district famous. On these a good deal of work will be done this season. J. E. Oppenheimer, one of the principal shareholders in the Rocher de Boule, arrived from Butte on Wednesday, and is now in. specting the big copper showings on the property with a view to carrying out extensive plans for the equipment and development of the mine, which is expected to ship very soon. On the Silver Standard, stoping has begun, and it is understood regular shipments of high-grade silver-lead ore will be made. MAY EXTEND THRO' P. 0. E. NORTH TO YUKON Ottawa and Washington Governments will be Invited to Participate in Important Enterprise���To Link Up British Columbia, Yukon, and Alaska with Railway Victoria, Mar. 10:���Sir Richard McBride will seek the co-operation of the United States government in a project for extending the Pacific Great Eastern railway, by main and branch lines, through Alaskan territory, tapping the principal mining camps. It is proposed to extend the line f from Fort George through the undeveloped regions of northern i British Columbia and the Yukon territory and incidentally provide Alaska with transportation facilities. His visit to Washington, where he will interview President Wilson and members of his cabinet, will take place in April. following the delivery of the an-1 nual address to the students of the University of California on j March 22. Public men who have been similarly honored by the university in recent years include ex-President Taft and Hon. William Jennings Bryan. The premier is enthusiastic about the possibilities of the Canadian-Alaskan-Yukon project as he is convinced that it will open up enormous areas to mining and agricultural development and create one of the largest, railway systems on the continent with a mileage three thousand miles in extent. The ad vantages of direct railway communication between the north country and the outside world will be set forth to the Washington authorities. It is understood that the cooperation of the Dominion Government will be sought and it is not unlikely that the premier may visit Ottawa before returning home. The precise route will not be determined until preliminary surveys have been made and the attitude of the United States authorities as regards the Alaska portion of the line has been ascertained. C.

Harris Bros. & Mullan are also interested in the property. Feeling Against Austria London, Mar. 14 : -The war situation is unchanged. Four Servian transports were sunk by a mysterious warship.

The opening of the season of mining activity is marked by the arrival in Hazelton of several groups of mining men, whose operations this year will go far to prove the extent and value of our great mineral and coal deposits. Already a majority of those who will work in lhe inure distant sections of the district have begun the work of transporting supplies over the toboggan trails, and when spring opens several hundreds of men will be engaged in developing properties in the newer camps. In the historic goldfields of the Omineca river and Manson creek a number of strong companies are engaging in extensive hy- draulicking operations and there is little doubt that the season's clean-up of placer gold in that district will be one of the largest in its history. For the first time, the big silver-lead showings in the vicinity of Omineca river will be worked by enterprising and experienced mining men, with the probability that the old placer district will in a comparatively short time rival the other silver-lead camps of Omineca District.' On Nine-mile, Four-mile and Glen mountains the properties which have been worked during the winter show good results, while quite a number of others will soon be under development. Two of the mines are already shipping ore, and another producer will be added to the list within a few days. The projected completion of the Nine-mile wagon road will enable the owners of several promising groups to carry on work without the disadvantages under which they have heretofore labored. On the adjacent showings of Glacier creek and Rear river considerable work will be done. On Rocher de Boule mountain the copper deposits which have attracted so much attention are being steadily developed, while arrangements have been completed for the opening up of a number of very promising groups in the immediate future. The camps tributary to the Bulkley Valley towns are likely to come into prominence, since Hudson Bay mountain properties have been proved lo contain silver-lead ore of high grade in large deposits and the Telkwa and Babine showings promise great things. The coal measures of the Telkwa and Morice rivers and Coal creek will be still further developed, while several of the the companies holding large areas in the famous Groundhog field have men and supplies on the trail, with the object of starting the season's work early. Other concerns will begin development work on their properties as soon as the pack trail is open. Taking a large view of the situation, the prospects for the season are most encouraging. There is no doubt that 1913 will be the first of many prosperous years for the mining industry of the great district of which Hazelton is the center.

UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT "TEMPERED" COPPER - NOT-HOST ART Ancient Tools Were Made of Copper and Tin Alloy Hardened by Hammering -T The old fable about the ability of the ancients to temper copper as we now temper steel, so that copper knives with a sharp cutting edge could be produced, has been often disproved, but still frequently crops up. Its probable origin is now shown by Walter Gowland, a distinguished English metallurgist and emeritus professor at the Royal School of Mines, as well as an antiquary of note. Professor Gowland proves that it is possible to make bronze very hard by hammering, and that the sharp prehistoric knives of "tempered copper" were really of bronze with hammered edges. He shows also that the ancients smelted bronze directly from ores of mixt copper and tin, so that they may not have been aware of the fact that it is an alloy. We quote from an account in The Mining and Scientific Press, which say: " Walter Gowland, at a recent lecture in London, showed that during the early metal age, and even later, bronze was not obtained by melting metallic copper and tin together, but by the reduction of oxidized copper ores containing cassiterite, or of copper ore to which cassiterite ore was added. It is important that this fact should be recorded, seeing that |some modern metallurgists allege that such a process is impossible, and that whenever tin and copper ores are melted together the tin does not unite with the copper but passes into the slag. These allegations were evidently not founded on experiment, but on erroneous deductions from the methods of smelting in use at the present time. " In order to determine the possibility of producing bronze, Mr Gowland constructed a simple furnace consisting merely of a hole in the ground. In this he treated a mixture of 15 pounds of malachite, containing 30 per cent, copper, and 10 pounds of cassiterite ore, containing 20 per cent, tin, together with charcoal and limestone. On the conclusion of the reaction, the slag and remaining fuel were removed and the metal allowed to solidify. An analysis of the metal showed 78 per cent, copper and 22 per cent. tin. A series of experi ments were undertaken with varying proportions of the ore, and in every case copper-tin alloys were obtained. The second point raised by Mr. Gowland referred to the supposed lost art of tempering bronze. < In the old days the bronze castings for tools and weapons were hammered at the cutting edges to produce the right degree of hardness and temper. No other method was ever employed, such as heat treatment. The same effect can be produced on modern bronzes by hammering, and in fact an even greater hardness can be obtained. Thus the notion that the art of tempering bronze has been lost is a fallacy." COAL NOTICES P.&0.

C. Easy Terms V. New Seed Regulations Editor Miner:���This is the season when farmers are securing their seed supply for the coming spring. The importance of using seed of high vitality and free from weed seeds cannot be too strongly emphasized. Very often in the past, farmers, through ignorance of the quality of the seed they were using or for some other reason, have sown weeds. During the past two years the Dominion seed branch has been endeavoring to effect improvements in the seed trade by educational work with seed dealers and farmers, supplemented by the enforcement of the Seed Control Act. This act defines the commercial grades of seeds. All timothy, red clover, alsike and alfalfa seed offered for sale by either wholesaler or retail merchant must be graded and marked Extra No. 1. No. 1, No. 2 or No. 3, according to quality. Seed that will not grade No. 3 cannot legally be sold except for export or for cleaning. This latter clause applies to farmers as well as seed dealers. Farmers selling seed that is below grade No. 3 to their neighbors for seeding or to dealers on the understanding that it is to be retailed for seeding without recleaning, are liable to prosecution, and every effort will be made to apply the act to farmers as strictly as to seed merchants. Paper packets of vegetable and flower seeds must be marked showing the year in which they are filled, and farmers and others purchasing such seed should see that all packets are so marked before purchasing. Seed grain, clover and grass seed, as well as root and vegetable seeds, whether in sealed packets or in bulk, must be capable of germinating in the proportion of at least two-thirds of the legal standard for good seed of that kind. Seed that will not germinate in this proportion must be plainly marked showing the actual percentage of seeds capable of germinating. Farmers having or purchasing seed the vitality of which they have reason to suspect should have a germination test made of a sample of it. Seed grain, flax, white clover,! grasses and all other forage; plant seeds must be free from noxious weed seeds, or be label-; led showing the names of thel noxious weed seeds present, j The above are the outstanding features of the Seed Control Act of Canada, and if persons pur- chasing seed insist on the observance of the above rules, they will not only obtain a seed of a superior quality but will do much to ward off an infestation of their farms by. noxious weeds.
