MORBID KEUC HUNTERS fROM C.B. TO B.C. "• siSSsrSLi^f" "I STEEL STEAMER IN TO FLY over alps jo CONNECT The long-expected, publication party that has been making a trip along the line of the Grand Trunk Pacific, arrived here yesterday on the steamer Hazelton, having been ninety one days on the route. The leader of the party when they arrived was R. C W. Lett, colonization agent of the Grand Trunk Pacific: G. Home Russell, the well known artist whose pictures of Mount Robson and the Skeena river are now on ex- hitbition at Brussels; J. W. Swan, official photographer of the Grand Trunk railway, and Frederick A. A. Talbot, special correspondent of the World's Work of London, dispatched to this country to investigate the openings for British financial, industrial and agricultural activity in British North I America, also contributing articles of Canadian import to several other English papers. The party left Toronto on June 17th, then being under the charge of Harry R. Charlton, general advertising manager of the Grand Trunk Pacific, and of the party at that time, in addition to the names given, was H. D. Lowry, Washington correspondent of the New York Evening Post. They left the party at Tete Jaune Cache and returned to Montreal. Mr. Talbot says the journey has been most uneventful and was enjoyable all the way through. They started out with thirty pack animals from Edmonton on June 23rd, and reached Wolfe Creek, which is one hundred and twenty-six miles west of Edmonton and the end of steel, on June 27th. They followed the trail of the surveyed line on to Fiddle creek, where they made the first long stop. Here Mr. Lett led the party into the wilds to investigate the possibilities of the Hot Springs as a popular resort for tourists. He was favorably impressed and many fine photgraphs were made and a number of sketches and paintings. The next long stop was at the foot of Mount Robson, one of the objects of the trip being to get a number of good Photographs of this already famous region. Ten days were profitably spent here, Mr. Lett, with the aid of the pack's, cutting trail through the heavy underbrush into the heart of the mounain and resting his party after their toilsome journey on the banks of a charming lake called Lake Helena. ; This spot Mr. Talbot declares to be one of the most beautiful of all he has wen in his travels on this continent and abroad. Many pictures were made of lw sylvan features and the gorgeous scenery surrounding it. Photographs were also made during the party's stay nere of the immense glacier, the waters rom which flow into the north fork of tne Fraser river. from there the pack train mushed >«ng to Tete Jaune Cache, where an- «»« stop was made „0, ^^ m ne meantime we had stopped to instigate all along the route every point oh! !"? calculated to be of interest," observe,!

Large crowds were at the auction rooms before the sale started and for the most inconsequential trifles, there was spirited bidding, everyone seeming desirous of possessing some relic of the famous tragedy. S. S. BANNOCKBURN, FINEST FREIGHTER SEEN IN RUPERT BEATEN BY THUGS Young Lady Found By Police In An Unconscious State (Special to the Optimist) Los Angeles, Sept. 20,—Beaten and robbed by thugs Miss Louise Henning, aged eighteen, was found in an unconscious state by the police shortly after midnight. It is thought she will recover. Captain Dent Tells of His Voyage From Sidney, C. B. With 6400 Tons Of Steel, and Gives His Impressions of Prince Rupert's Harbor. Authorities Prevent Daring Aviators Ascending During Storm MAY YOHE IS NIGH TO DEATH ONCE POPULAR FAVORITE PITIABLE PLIGHT IN Former Wife of Lord Francis Hope, Who Appeared On Stage Wearing The Order of the Garter, Coming To A Sad End. CONTINUED ON PAGE 8 New York, Sept. 20.—Friends of May Yohe, once a favorite muscical comedy star and former wife of Lord Francis Hope, sympathising with her in her pitiable plight, have arranged to have her brought back from San Francisco, where she was stricken with paralysis recently, and placed in a sanitarium on the outskirts of this city. Of all the favorites who once blossomed on Broadway and helped to make the wine business a profitable industry, none has had more meteoric career than this fickle, giddy, high- strung songbird. Born in a little town in Pennsylvania, outside of Philadelphia, she graduated from a church choir to the footlights and from, the latter to mistress-ship of one of the oldest castles in England. Lord Francis Hope met her when she was singing on Broadway and made her his wife in 1893, presenting her at the time with the famous Hope diamond, one of the most precious stones in the world. Seven years of prosaic, dignified life of an English lady palled on her and she ran away with Major Putman Bradley Strong, son of a former mayor of New York and an officer in the regular army. Subsequently, when Lord Hope secured his divorce from the singer, Strong married her, only to desert her when their money was all gone. Her position ever since has been pathetic. With her voice and her beauty impaired by hardship and dissipation managers who once considered her an acquisition to their forces closed the door in her face. Pressed for the com- menest necessities of life recently, she procured an engagement in a low music hall in Frisco, where she was stricken with paralysis last week. Baseball Scores Yesterday Vancouver, Sept. 20.—(Special)—The two league games played yesterday resulted as follows: Vancouver 6, Tacoma 3. Seattle five, Spokane four. The s.s. "Bannockburn" quite the newest and most graceful freighter that has yet called at Prince Rupert reached the post yesterday with a cargo of 6400 tons of steel rails and accessories for the G. T. P. construction work. The Bannockburn made the passage from Sidney, C. B. in the record time of 64 days in spite of encountering very heavy weather on this side the Horn. Big seas deluged the steamer fore and aft at times, but she ploughed her way steadily through all, weathers. Trinidad and Montevideo were touched at on the voyage. Captain Dent .of the Bannockburn is geniality and hospitality itself. He is fond of his boat which is absolutely the latest thing in ocean freighters the last boat launched on the Clyde and equipped throughout with every modern appliance. The Bannockburn is electric lit throughout, and Captain Dent is much interested in Prince Rupert's struggles with the city lighting problem. This is the steamer's second trip since her launching, and captain and officers are alike pleased with her achievements. She steams a steady twelve knots. "Do you know" said the captain smilingly"that though we are a cargo boat and full loaded, we beat the Princess Beatrice coming up to Rupert? We passed her between Alert Bay and Haddington Island lying anchored because of the fog. But fog or no, the Bannockburn went on and came in to Prince Rupert in time to berth before the Princess Beatrice appeared. "I am agreeably surprised" went on Captain Dent "at the excellent docking facilities you have at Prince Rupert. Of course I have not been over the city yet, but so far I am much impressed by what I have seen. The harbour is wonderful. From a ship captain's point of view I should say it would be pretty well perfect if the approach to it were commanded by fog horn stations at Holland Rocks and on the Lawyers. I understand that Sir Wilfrid Laurier has promised that the matter of lighting and signalling in these waters is to be specially attended to in view of the opening of Prince Rupert as a seaport." (Special to the Optimist) Brieg, Switzerland, Sept. 20.—Although the authorities forbade Aviators Chevaz and Weymann making a flight over the Alps today, owing to the adverse state of the weather, they are to start their flight as soon as the weather permits. Chevaz reached a height of seven thousand feet yesterday, and headed for the Simplon Pass before he was forced to dsecend because of the heavy gale. Weymann's machine was badly damaged. WITH STEWART STRINGING WIRES FOR TELEGRAPH COMMUNICATION Connects With Government Line at Kitsurnkalum and Runs up Naas Valley—Gangs of Men Already Putting up the Poles. Prince Rupert Fog Bound The foggy weather which delayed the Princess Beatrice is also delaying the Prince Rupert. She will not be so much late however. Advices received by wireless this morning said she would arrive here at four o'clock this afternoon. HAZELTON HAS FINE HOSPITAL DR. WALLACE TELLS OF ITS SUPERIOR FEATURES Beautifully Located and Well Equipped Sanitarium That Some Day Soon Is Certainly to Become a Widely Popular Health Resort. Vancouver, Sept. 17.—The Dominion government has given orders for the construction of a government telegraph line between Prince Rupert and Stewart. Gangs of men are already in the field, clearing the trail for the linemen to follow, and if present plans are carried out the line will be completed and ready for use befdre the end of the year. Superintendent Phelan shortly goes north to direct the active stringing of the wire. The building of the new section will be from both ends. One gang is now working southwards from the Portland Canal District, and another has started from Prince Rupert. The route which will be followed is along the Kitsurnkalum and the Naas to Alice Arm and on north to the new mining centre. The centre will pass M. K. Rodger's mine at Goose Bay. Work will be helped by the trail which the provincial government is now constructing into the Kitsurnkalum. PRINCE RUPERT HOSPITAL List of Applicant! For Position of Matron The following were the applicants for the position of matron of the, new general hospital, Prince Rupert:- Miss Kate McTavish, Atlin; Miss Emmie Johnson, Vancouver; Miss Eva E. Allan, Victoria; Miss A. Helen Adam, Victoria; Miss E. Bonnell,' New York; and Miss Margaret A. Christie, Prince Rupert. The appointment was balloted for at the Board of Trade meeting yesterday and Miss Kate McTavish was appointed matron. Dr. A. H. Wallace, of the Hazelton hospital, is paying a visit to Prince Rupert, and speaks very enthusiastically of the institution with which he ia connected, the conversation being brought about by remarks upon the beauty of the location made by Mr. Lett, colonization agent for the Grand Trunk Pacific. "It is certainly a beautiful location," said Dr. Wallace, "and in addition to that is the finest and best equipped hospital north outside of Vancouver. The famous Rocke de Boule mountain forms a background and in front the ground is gently sloping. It stands in its own grounds, some three hundred and twenty acres in extent, of which about twenty acres have been cleared and are under cultivation. So that our patients have the benefit of fresh meat, milk, eggs, vegetables and fruit, which is a great aid to their recovery. "Also we have gas and a sewerage and water system on the most modern lines, and indeed the whole of the furnishing and the surgical and other equipment is strictly up to date. "Dr. H. C. Wrinch is the superintendent and under his charge the hospital has grown to be a very popular institution. We take care of the Indians but not of the railway men. The contractors have their own hospital ar- arrangements. But we take patients from all over the northern country as far as Francis lake, and up the telegraph line to Ninth Cabin, Which is two hundred and fifty miles north. We have a staff of five nurses ans during the past summer they have been fully occupied. In July we had twenty-two patients and we now have twenty, which is about the average." Dr. Wallace leaves on the Prince Rupert tomorrow for Vancouver and will return in about three weeks. Salvation Army Major and Mrs. Morris, Provincial Commander for the Pacific province, will formally open up the work of the Salvation Army in the Empress theatre on Sunday afternoon and night, when they will introduce the new officers, Ensign and Mrs. Johnston and Lieut. Wright.

AND EIGHTH LAND PURCHASE NOTICE Lenox, Mass., Sept. 17.—Superintendent Norman, of the George Westing- house estate, is sponsor for a remarkable nature story. The blooded Jersey cows of Mr. Westinghouse, he says, recently ceased to give milk. An espionage was established, and when the cows walked into a pond it was noticed that the pet carp in the pond seized the opportunity to gorge themselves w th milk. To prove just where the milk went, employes of the place cast hooks and lines into the water. The first carp to bite fought gamely and threshed about in the water full> fifteen minuted bofore it was landed. When cut open then? were no traces of milk, but instead several tiny balls of butter, the product of the churning incidental to the struggles of the fish. Superintendent Norman squelched with a single withering glance a sapient intellect which had the temerity to suggest that closer inspection of the butter might even reveal the imprint of the Westinghouse coat of arms.

Wednesday, Sept. 21 STILL IN DOUBT The great question of the right of U. S. fishermen to fish on the halibut banks of Hecate Straits seems to be still in doubt. The Hague tribunal's decision on the fisheries question resulted in a big victory for the British contentions and while the Pacific Coast was not mentioned it is presumed the decision applies on the west coast as well as on the east coast. There were five points at issue in the arbitration. Great Britain wins on points one and five. Point five has been held by Great Britain as the most important of those submitted. The fifth point was stated in the form of this question: , "From where must be measured the three marine miles of any of the coasts, bays, creeks, or harbors referred to in article 1 of the American-British treaty of 1818?" United States fishermen claimed the right to take the measure from any part of the British North American shore, and therefore the liberty to fish in the middle of any Canadian bay or estuary having a radius of more than three miles. The British contention was that the limits should be measured from an imaginary line connecting the headlands. The peace court sustained the British contention. It would seem from this that Hecate Straits and Dixon's entrance are entirely British waters but as against that contention is another part of the report on the finding which reads: "The disappointing feature of the award is the declination of the tribunal to settle the long-disputed question as to what constitutes a bay. On this point the question was: 'From where must be measured three marine miles of any of the coasts, bays, creeks, or harbors referred to in the said article?' On this point the tribunal refused to commit itself. It would not decide what was a bay or when a bay ceases to be a bay, and it, therefore, advised that the task of the definition of a bay should be left to the Governments concerned. The effect of this is to leave the problem just where it was, and where it has been for generations. The contention of the United States was that the word "bay" did not interfere with the privilege of fishing three miles from shore. The British contention was that the term bay should be taken to mean three miles from the headlands of the bay. This was practically the only point upon which the court could not agree, and it is interesting to note that the representative of Argentina, Senor Drago, stood out for the Canadian contention."

KERR STARTS RIGHT TO WORK WILL ARRANGE FOR LECTURES AND STUDIES FOR YOUNG MEN Proposes to Lecture on Travel in the Holy Land and Scotland, and Arranges For Meetings For Mutual Improvement and Recreation. G. C. Emmerson Naden Block 2nd Avenue Rev. W. F. Kerr the new pastor of the First Presbyterian Church met a number of the young men of the congregation this week in order to get to know them and to make preliminary arrangements for organizing mutual improvement circles in connection with the church during the winter. "In a new city like Prince Rupert" said Mr. Kerr "we need to join forces and come together for recreation and study, and I hope to be able to help the young men materially in these diver- tions. We can go in for many pleasant branches of study together. "I am thinking of several subjects suitable for lectures arid discussions, and shall probably give my impressions of Scotland and the Holy Land after we organize our meetings, while we shall also take up the study of some author perhaps. Rev. Mr. Kerr is enthusiastic over his work and will certainly not spare himself in the task of developing the church socially, intellectually, and spiritually. "I am glad to be back at preaching again" he said warmly "it is the best work of all." A graduate of Knox College Toronto, and' winner of a first rate post-graduare scholarship which has enabled him to pursue his studies in the United Free Church College Glasgow, Scotland, and in the universities of Germany, Rev. Mr. Kerr will be able to conduct his lectures and meetings with young men in splendid manner. A talk with Mr. Kerr about his travels in Europe is in itself most interesting. " I have had the rich experience and pleasure " he said recently to the Optimist "of undertaking a journey through Palestine and the Mediterranean ports with a party of students led by Professor Charles Foster Kent professor of Biblical theology at Yale University. I spent Easter Sunday n Jerusalem, and this as well as the whole trip was a most interesting and enlightening experience. "Summoned by cable to take up this charge in Prince Rupert, I came out direct from Germany" Mr. Kerr continued "I heard much about the city all the way out, but I am even more impressed with it than I expected to be. Three things strike me specially: I am surprised at the grandeur of the mountain surroundings, the far spread buildings occupying the townsite and at the excellent planning of the streets, drainage, water supply etc. "Rev. Dr. Fraser who accompanied me from Vancouver was immensely impressed along with myself by the courage, skill, and foresight of the men who 'ave made the city what it is—the men who have done things. "I travelled on the way out with Principal Murray of Saskatchewan University, and he said he believed confidently that within two years after the railway gets into Prince Rupert the city will have a population of 60,000. "Is it not a privilege" the young pastor continued enthusiastically, "to be called upon to help lay the religious foundations of a city so important, and growing so fast7 I count it a privilege and an honor. I have come here expecting to tackle a big problem. If I did not expect that, I should never have come. "But I feel that it is worth a man's life to help in the work of building up the religious life of the great community of the citizens of Prince Rupert present and to be."

This is positively the last block of this stock that will go on the market at fifteen cents or under. 1 P 1 The Company is capitalized at one million dollars ($1,000,000), apportioned in one million shares, par value $1.00 each, fully paid and non-assessable. There will be absolutely no re-organization or increase of capitalization. The vendors of this property received from the Company 600,000 shares of the capital stock, which stock is pooled and cannot be placed on the market before July ' No promotion stock has been issued. The proceeds obtained by the sale of this block of treasury stock now offered, in addition to that already sold, will be used for development work exclusively. The Directors of the Company are C. G. Harvey, President; Mr. Harvey is an old and well known mining man of British Columbia and the Yukon. Frank A. Brown is General Manager, Mr. F. C. McKinnon is Secretary, and the remainder of the Board of Directors consists of Messrs. R. J. McDonell and James Maitland- The property is under the direct management of Mr. Frank A. Brown, one of the oldest and best known practical mining men of the West. Mr. Brown was for seven years manager of the Jumbo Mining and Milling Company of Idaho County, Idaho, two years in the field lor the Dominion Exploration Company of New York, and three years manager of the Bangor Placer Company in the Yukon district. He is one of the heaviest individual shareholders in the Hazelton Nine Mile Company and is constantly on the ground in person. Investors may rest assured that the property will be developed to its fullest extent and at the least possible expense by a PRACTICAL MINING MAN. Location of Claims Owned by This Company The ground owned by the Nine Mile Mining Company consists of the LEAD KING Group of seven full claims, and is right in the centre of the proven mineralized zone on Nine Mile Mountain. Four veins of ore have been uncovered ranging from one to twelve feet in width. On No. 1 vein a tunnel seventy-five feet long has been driven, besides open cuts and surface stripping. This vein is from three to four feet wide and from it ORE HAS BEEN SHIPPED TO THE TRAIL SMELTER which gave a NET PROFIT of $33.25 per ton after paying enormous freight rates. No. 2 vein is traceable for 1500 feet and averages two feet in width. No. 3 vein is from one to four feet wide and can be traced for 1200 feet. No. 4 vein, while of not such a high grade character of ore as the fiist three, shows an immense body of ore of the same general character and is from ten to twelve feet wide. About June 15th the first shipment of ore was made to the Trail Smelter and the returns recently to hand were as follows : Gross weight of ore lbs. Less moisture, 0.6 per cent lbs. Dry weight lbs. Silver, ounces per ton Lead per cent. Zinc per cent. TOTAL VALUES Silver, 380 ounces at 0.54 for 95 per cent Lead, 3167 lbs. at 0.01714 for 90 per cent Total gross value Less treatment at $10.50 per ton LeBS freight Net value Add Government Bounty on 3167 lbs.

At present the camp at Nine Mile is in its infancy. On the LEAD KING claim much develoDment has been done and WORK WILL BE CONTINUED THROUGHOUT THE WINTER. Ore will be blocked out from now on until better transportation facilities are available, which will certainly be within a year. The Spring of 1911 will witness the biggest mining boom in the Hazelton district that British Columbia has experienced since the development of the Kootenay District. THIS, THE FIRST SHIPPER IN THE DISTRICT, WILL UNDOUBTEDLY BE THE FIRST DIVIDEND PAYER. THE LEAD KING IS A MINE TODAY, and we earnestly believe that this is an opportunity not to be missed.

"s throuBh eleven states this A meeting of the Hospital association was held in the Board of Trade rooms at four o'clock yesterday afternoon. After the secretary had read the minutes of the last three meetings, W. Lailey, architect gave a report regarding the progress of the work, stating that the contractors were getting on rapidly, and that he saw no reason why the building shouldn't be completed by December 1st. A report regarding the heating of the building recommending that a hot water low pressure indirect system be installed at an estimated cost of about $3000. This system was recommended by the architects Messrs. Munro and Lailey as the most suitable for hospital purposes. On the motion of Aid. Pattullo seconded by Magistrate Cares it was decided to call for tenders for this work including heating and standpipe. A statement of the association's position financially was then made by tne "ecretary treaurer A. Cuthbert who gave figures showing that the funds in hand amounted to $211'. 82 which was really more than swallowed up in expenses on account of balance of foundation work expense. The subscription fund was $3000 in arrears. The secretary treasurer had applied to the government for the $7500 promised towards the hospital fund and had hoped to hear from them in time for this meeting, but mail was delayed. Regarding the question of hospital finances Aid. Pattullo recommended the formation of a finance committee to deal with these matters. There was some talk about the collection of subscriptions, the Secy. Treasurer stating that it was not so much the subscribers who had left town as those in the city all the time whose subscriptions were most difficult to get. E. Clarke thought, however, that most of the subscriptions in arrears could very soon be collected if a systematic series of calls were made for it. D. Stewart said that if the Secy. Treasurer called, his subscription would be settled by cheque at once, though when the matter was left to his memory it was apt to escape him. Aid. Pattullo mentioned the fact that Vernor Smith had announced at the city council last night that his firm Messrs Foley, Welch and Stewart were subscribing $250 to the hospital funds and that Mr. Stewart was subscribing $100. Aid. Pattullo then moved that the President be authorized to appoint committees to deal with the various departments of the hospital organization, financial, building, house etc. D. Stewart seconded the motion which was carried. The letters of application for the position of matron were then read by the Secy-treasurer and considered individually by the members of the association. After some discussion on the question of this appointment Aid. Pattullo moved, and Mr. Stewart seconded the motion that the board proceed to ballot upon the applications. The ballot resulted in the appointemetn of Miss K. McTavish, Atlin, as matron, at a salary of $100 per month. Aid. Pattullo moved that Miss McTavisih be notified of her appointment at the above taalary, and that the date of her taking up her duties would be announced to her later, The question of the equipment of the hospital was taken up and discussed in a general way. On the suggestion of Magistrate Carss it was agreed that Miss McTavish should be given plans etc of the hospital, and asked to advise regarding equipment the board to pay her for this service rather than retain her services as matron before the hospital was actually completed, or refer the matter to the medical association. A number of letters from various firms offering equipment and appliances for the new hospital were referred automatically to the proper committee appointed to deal with them later. "These operating tables, etc., are things we don't know very much about and don't want to know more about" said Magistrate Cares. A letter from P. W.

Pattullo's Account Martin O'Reilly ■ The question of the payment of expenses to the men who travelled to Victoria to attend the session of the House regarding the city charter was touched upon at last night's council meeting. The Mayor was of opinion that the expenses of all those who went to Victoria in the city's interests should be paid. "What is to be done" asked Aid. Barrow,"with men like Aid. Pattullo who haven't sent in a note of their expenses?" Aid. Pattullo explained that he had reserved his account until after the others had come in as he feared he might be considered a favoured party in the matter being a council member. Aid. Mobley rose with the smiling suggestion that Aid. Pattullo's expense account should be paid in the form of a donation to the Hospital or some other charity, at which a ripple of amusement ran around the council board. Arrangements will be made to ascertain the amounts due on account of expenses to Victoria to each one who travelled there on city charter business.

FOREST FIRES ON THE SKEENA FIRE WARDEN KERR HAS DONE EXCELLENT WORK Big Canyon Hotel Being Equipped With Fire Fighting Apparatus— Dr. Traynor to Bring In His Family—Handsome Residence. Kitselas, B. C, Sept. 17—George A. Kerr, fire warden for Skeena River Section No. 20 reports that there have been no fires of a serious nature thus far this year. Quite a number of fires have started and except for prompt attention on his part would have proven serious but in each instance they have been taken in hand quickly by him and extinguished before doing any damage,' with the result that no lumber has been burned nor has any damage been done to any government property any where in his district. Great credit is due the government for the precaution taken and efforts made to prevent and put out fires. The G. T. P. railway passes through this fire section. The fire season ends on September 30th unles the government extends the season for another month, which was done once before in this section. The G. T. P. officials, resident engineers, Foley, Welch and Stewart and the railroad contractors, deserve much praise and have the thanks of the entire valley, for the able and efficient assistance they have rendered Fire Warden Kerr in fighting fires. They have been exceedingly watchful and done all in their power to help him in every possible manner.

EMMERSON, Prince Rupert WRITERS AND ARTISTS HERE CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 August 9th and took to the river in canoes, passing through lovely hills and prairie country on to Fort George. The distance is three hundred and fifty miles and the party made the distance in six and one-half days. Ten days were spent at Fort George and in its vicinity, the party on the go' every day looking into the various interesting points already mapped out for them to visit or picked up in conversations with the pioneers. On the morning of August 19th the diamond hitch was again thrown over the backs of the pack animals and the trail was leisurely followed through the Nechaco valley and across she low divide into the Bulkley watershed. "This is a country," observes Mr. Talbot "that would delight the heart of the English farmer, and I believe, too, that he is calculated to be more successful there than the farmer of any other country, for certain reasons which I have not time to go into, but which are readily apparent to one who knows rural England and can compare it with these productive valleys." Mushing leaisurely through the Nechaco valley they picked up the telegraph trail at Tsinkut Lake, and followed that all the way to Hazel on, arriving there on September 15th. "We were very much impressed with the agricultural possibilities of the Nechaco and Bulk.ey valleys," remarked Mr. Talbot, "and we were also impressed with the number of settlers already there or going into these valleys. Most of the land in the Nechaco seems to be taken up and much of it already developed. "No, we met with no thrilling adventures and no particular hardships of any kind. One thing remarkable was that the weather, on the whole, was fine, which of course added much to the enjoyableness of the trip." Mr. Talbot leaves on the Prince Rupert returning direct to London; Mr. Lett will be here a few days. GOOD ADVT.
