What a Returned Klondike!- Think the Northern Country. Mr. R. D. Wood registered last night at the Phair hotel on his return from Dawson Oity, where ho has been spending a few months in the interests of the London and British Columbia Goldfields oompany of this city. Mr. Wood was naturally silent with regard to his own transactions in the eountry, lint he conversed for a short time with a representative of The Miner on the Klondike generally. Mr. Wood, who is a veteran miner, having been through the placer excitement ill Australia, objected strongly to the mining laws, now in force in tho Yukon, and moro especially to thu 10 tier cent royally, tho most objectionable feature of which is,that it is levied on the gross output of tlie claims aud not on the net profits. This quite disregards Ihe large amount of dead money expended on the construction of Humes, dams, sluice boxes and other labor incidental to the working of a placer mine. Another result of the. present law is that a very large number of olaims are tied up without any work being done on thum 'o p' we their value. In Australia a* man could take up any number of claims provided he worked them continuously; in the Klondike a man is only allowed four claims (one in each district), bur so long as ho has a representative on the ground for threo months in the year be can hold the claims indefinitely. The rosult is that hundreds of claims are held by speculators, gamblers and others, who have a man out. on their properties, it* is true, hut he does not, and is not* expected to do any real work, Thus the development of tlie country is much retarded. There are thousands of idle men in Dawson Oity, and auction sales of outfits are daily Occurrences. It is a problem how these men will ever get out of Ihe country,many of them being cily bred and quite unfitted for rough life, in such an inhospitable country. Many of them are floating down to St. Michaels in boats, picking up a few dollars towards their passage homo by landing at intervals and cutting cordwood, which they sell to the river steamers for $10 a cord. Dawson Oity i.s ill-drained, and very unhealthy in and malarial fever Tbe winter sets iu September and lasts months. It is an unpleasant country lo live in, and a man earns every dollar he makes in it, though in two or three years the conditions may be more favorable. It* is impossible for anyone to estimate the gold output of tho year, as nearly everyone was doing liis best to evade the royalty. It would ho impossible In give oven approximate figures, Mr. Wood said that whilo in Dawson he had heard no charges of corruption or oilier misconduct made against the government ollieials. He had had no difficulties himself with regard to registration of deeds or other business. Ile left Dawson on August 11 on tho Oudaby, and caught* the Roanoke at St. Michaels, reaching Seattle on August 80, This was a fast run. Ono of the passengers, a doctor, was robbed of |8B,000 in dust while on board, and went crazy iu consequence. There were several men on hoard whoso minds seemed In be unhinged. summer, dysentry being prevalent, about the end of for eight, or nine THE HALL MINKS SMELTER, MANUSCRIPT PREACHERS. farther Shipments of Custom On��� Lead Purnooe May be Blown In, The Hall Mines smelter conlinues lo (���coivo considerable Shipments of cus- lini ore.

TO B As Soon as British Troops Arrive in Candia. CHRISTIANS BUTCHERED llie British Admirals Will L'einand tlio Surrender of tho Instigators of the Disorders. Athens, Sept. 8,���The following despatch dated at 8 o'clock this evening has been received from Candia: "The Bashi Bazouks are committing excesses aud the Christians in the surrounding districts are arming to inarch to the assistance of the Candians. There are eight warships in the harbor and a frcsh bombardment is expected. The British, German aed Spanish consulates have been looted and thus far 800 native Christians and (iT British subjects have been killed. Tlie Asty says it learns from' an authentic source that as soon as the British troops arrive at* Candia from Malta the Turkish garrison in Candia will be expelled, martial law proclaimed and thc ring-leaders put on trial. According to a despatch from Candia, sent laic this evening, tho admirals of the fleet have decided to compel the disarming of Ibe Bashi Bazouks and the surrender of the instigators of lhe disorders. "DEATH TO THE ENGLISH." London, Sept. il.���The correspondent of tho Times at Candia telegraphed yesterday saying: "It is estimated tliat no fewer than 800 Christians liave beeu massacred and tlie town pillaged by Bashi Bazouks and Turkish soldiers. All reports agree as to the disgraceful behavior of the Turkish troops,wlio wore seen firing by Ooi. Reid. The mob ran through the streets shouting 'Death to the English.' Part of tho town is still burning. " FEARFUL TALES OF MASSACRE. London, Sept. !).���The correspondent of the Standard, telegraphing Thursday from the British battleship Cainperdown.off Candia, says: Tho refugees tell fearful stories of massacre. Thoy report that no fewer TOO Christians are missing. Several attempts were made last night* to set on fire lhe oflice of the Eastern Telegraph company. It has been ascertained that all the houses overlooking the British camp wero loopholed for rifle fire and barricaded. Every Christian survivor of tho massacre swears that the butch- cry was mostly the work of (ho Turkish soldiers, who first robbed and then slew their victims. Edini Pasha is* the one who ought to bo held primarily responsible. THE CORNWALL DISASTER. The Cause of, or tlio Responsibility for, the Accident Still in Doubt. Cornwall, Out,, Sept. 8.���All the wounded men are doing woll and no moro deaths aro likely to result from Tuesday's disaster. The streets are full of 'mon with bandaged heads,arms and hands, and thrilling stories of escape abound. Ono man, after coming to the surface, tried to grasp a piece of broken wreckage but conld not move liis arm, wliich proved to bo broken. One man went down in the crash with two companions, close beside him. He escaped unhurt. His companions are both at the bottom of the river. The wreck was inspected yesterday by officials of tlio construction companies, but none will say anything as to the cause of or responsibility for the accident, though all express intense sorrow. None of the bodies m tho river has heen recovered and it is likely, will uot until tho removal of the wreckage. This will have to be done by dynamite', iu which case most of the bodies will be terribly mutilated. Divers will probably bo at work today. NOT RESPONSIBLE. Ottawa, Sopt. 8.���The department of railways and canals have sent an en gineer to Cornwall to investigate the causo of tho fatal bridge accident opposite Cornwall. The department is in uo way responsible for the work which gave way, as it was on the American side of the river. appalling. General Wood issued 51,000 free rations yesterday. The capacity of the free supply depots is not large enough to meet the demand and a new one is to be established shortly. J GRAIN GRADERS.

REGRET HIS DEPARTURE From England, Eut Congratulates Him on Bis Elevation to the Position of IJ. S Secretary of State. MRS. GLADSTONE AILING. London, Sept. 8.���Mrs. Gladstone is reported to be in ill health. London, Sept. 8.���A committee of the Anglo-American league, headed by its chairman, Mr. James Brvce, presented United States Ambassador Hay with an address today, congratulating him upon his acceptance of the portfolio of Secretary of State at Washington. The address expresses regret at his departure from England "where you have discharged the weighty and dolicate duties of ambassador with such eminent tact, judgment and courtesy as to win the cordial appreciation and confidence of the British people." Continuing tho address says: "Itjhas been your fortune to represent, your eountry here at a time of exceptional interest, when the war, now happily ended, gave occasion for the expression of the feelings of affection and sympathy towards the United States which the British people have long entertained; but never before have they been so conspicuously manifested. You carry back the assurance of the depth and strength of these feelings. The principle that there ought to be permanent friendship and cordial co-operation between the British empire and the American republic is ono that all parties and all statesmen here agree in regarding as a fundamental principle of British foreign policy, aud by it the whole people desire that their government should be guided. Wo rejoice to believe that in your country corresponding sentiments are entertained and that a corresponding principle is now largely accepted. Knowing that no ono holds these convictions more firmly than yourself, nr can express them in clearer or more felicitous terms, we gladly acknowledge tho great services you have rendered to both nations, and console ourselves on your retirement by tho reflection that you are called to duties in your own country oven wider in their scope, graver in their responsibility and more important in tlie results they may secure.'' Mr. Bryce, during the course of the remarks, wliich lie made upon the occasion, dwelt upon the "admiration for the splendid gifts 'and boundless energy of the people of the United States and tlio sympathy with the principles of their constitution which havo been ripening among the British people.'' He also said he saw iu the universality of theso sentiments here, and the fact that thoy were reciprocated by a large majority of Anieri- caus, a happy augury, as ho believed that none could contribute moro to tho peace of the world and the welfare of both nations than tlie sense of essential unity of the two peoples. Col. Hay, in reply, referred to tho gratification he experienced in hearing sucli words from men qnalified hy experience and character to speak for tlie British with certainty. He added: "My voice has no such sanction as yours, but I give yon it for what it is worth, to assuro you tliat your sonti- ments of kinship and unity aro reciprocated to tho utmost in my country.'' Tho ambassador also said that his work in England had been made easy by the instuction he had received from home and by the frankness and fairness of Her Majosty's ministers and all Englishmen ho had come in contact with. He then said : "On both sides of the ocean, the conviction is almost universal that a clear cordial and friendly understanding between Great Britain and the United States is a necessity of civilization. I shall hold myself signally fortunate if I am ablo to do anything to contiuuo and strengthen tho relations of fraternal amity between our two nations.'' FOREIGN OFFICIALS SURPRISED London. Sept. 8.���The Stars and Stripes were raised today, with tho British Union Jack aud the Royal Standard, on the marquee erected on Salisbury plain, during the march-past of the troops at the end of the army manouvres, as a compliment to Col. Alfred Bates, TT. S. military attacho and Mr. Henry White, secretary of the U. S. embassy and Mrs. White, who went there by special train with Lord Wolseley, the commander-iu-chief of the British forces, Prince Christian, the Duke of Connaught and other notables. The foreign military nttaches seemed to be surprised at the sight of the American flag. THE MINER, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1898 TUlie Jfthter. e>v Published Daily except Sundny.

FROKTIER FREEDOM. when Sir Wilfred Laurier visited Washington and arranged for the Quebec conference that ho was acting | under the direction of the colonial secretary, and the coming of the latter when the conference is in session tends to confirm that idea. Mr. Chamberlain desires an alliance between Great Britain and the United States and to reduce matters to favorable position from which to begin negotiations it is necessary that the differences between Canada and the States shall be removed. It is not probable that Mr. Chamberlain will visit Quebec. The report comes that several Canadian ministers will visit him at Boston, so that it is safe to assume that tho deft hand of the able secretary will appear in proccdings. However, enough is known of Sir Wilfrid Laurier to warrant the belief that no Canadian interest will be sacrificed to * placate, or win the friendliness of, the Americans. It may be give and take all around, hut there is every reason to believe that Canada will como from the conference witli nothing to be ashamed of and nothing to defend in the action of her trusted advisors. g1?fWmmnfmMfnfnf1tf!Jf^mmmWfmmmwmi!rW^iOfficial Directory.

A rich strike is reported on the Columbia & Kootenay mine in Rossland.

Auguste Heinze formerly bad the property undor bond, but threw it up, It is now being operated by tho B. A. C. COMMUNICATIONS. and who can tell what habits they may fall into when they leave. The way to save the children is not by setting up a prohibitory law for people break laws, but to BO train them that they will lc strong of character, knowing wbat is hurtful to thom and what to avoid, and thus arm them to resist temptation in every forin. Prohibit them to do a thing and that is the very thing will try to do. " Reform" thinks that Goldwin Smith and Principal (irant will live to regret what they have said against | prohibition. Tbis opinion is on a par ! with the shallow talk in which tem- j perance agitators indulge. They may j say wbat they please in favor of prohibition, but those who do not agree with thein are blamed if they express opinions against* prohibition, which they have a perfect right tn dn if they j please. According to "Reform" Mr. I Smith and Principal Grant should not open their months, but let "Reform," and men nf his kind do all the talk ; ing, something that "Reform" evidently likes to dn. "Reform" seems to think that all j the drinking men are dressed in blue j overalls and he is anxious for theni to quit drinking and wear tweed. My observations .show me that most of the drinking is done not by men in nver- alls, but by men in broadcloth and fine linen who can afford to drink. If thc liquor business depended upon tho nickels of tho men in blue overalls or factory cotton pants it would not live a week. Shutters would go up everywhere. The saloon keepers and hotel men that " Reform" speaks of who are eager for the pass-ago of prohibition that they may go into more reputable and lucrative businesses are also rarities known only to '' Reform.'' Why those men should stay in a business that is a loss to them in reputation and money when there are other respectable and profitable business reaching out their arms to them is beyond comprehension. Someone bas evidently stuffed "Reform." No man need stay in the liquor business who does not want to. It is also amusing to find "Reform" rising up to defend the "pitiful drunkards" who he says aro plentiful in Nelson streets from the imputation that they would go to Northport for a drink it they conld not got it here. To say that tbey would is "grossly insulting." Ye gods I These "pitiful drunkards" must, then, he made of sensitive stuff that they are offensively patronized ou the one sido and defended from "insult" on the other by " Reform." wliich makes it evident that "Reform" is filled more with ill nature, for those who differ with him than ho is with respect for tho cause he pretends to uphold. But the "pitiful drunkards" would not have to go tn Nni'tiiport. Prohibition would breed ilicit stills in tho mountains aud liquor would find its wny in from all sidos and it would flow freely in the dark places of the city and under unrestrained traffic, for it would require au army of officers to enforce the law, the last state nf the, "pitiful drunkards" would be worse than tbeir first. ANTI-CANT. WHAT THE DE. ORDERED PROHIBITION. Importers of i.eavy and Shelf Hardware, Plumber's Supplies, Miners' Supplies To the Editor of The Miner: All sensible people will agree with The Miner that any attempt to make. people fcetolers by law will fail. Every man is a prohibition law in himself if he would enforce it and if he does not it is bis own fault. To say to the large body of men who use liquor abstemiously and derive benefit from it, "we are going to passu law prohibiting the sale of liquor, " but arouses the opposition of those men, who have au undoubted right to oppose any movement thei'eatening their personal liberty. Tho letter signed "Reform," in The Miner proves nothing. It is the same old stuck argument of the jawsiniths who have been trading ou temperance for years. It* is evidence of The Miner's fairness that it admitted so coarse and offensive a letter to its columns, the language "Reform" used showing tho ill-tempered kind of men these are who profess to he the teachers of the people. I lived in the Amherst district in Nova Scotia where a local opinion law was adopted at the instance of the temperance people. The consequence has been that the traffic in liquor, previously regulated under a proper license system, lias fallen into the hands of unscrupulous persons and drunkeness is as common there as it ever was. Liquor dan be got in any part of that country and though the trafflo in it is carried on secretly there is as much of it sold as formerly. "Reform" says that the temperance people do not caro about the present generation of drinking men, but tliat tbey wish to save tho children from drink and think that prohibition will do it. If prohibition was universal, if un liquor was made or sold anywhere in the world, this might be done, but thoso ohildren will not all remain in Canada, prohibition or no prohibition, ir Tim llaie ii llniiiiy for some particular ���Medicine or Drug and dont liko to bo offered a substitute, come hero when yon need a now supply.

OCT. 5 to 13 Inclusive -AT- It Oan be Increased by Utilizing the Nitrogen Now Going to Waste in the Air. Citizens'Grand Yearly (efebration London, Sept. 8.��� Sir William Crooks, president of the British association, delivered the inaugural address at the annual congress of that body at Bristol today. He reviewed the sources of the present and possible wheat supply and argued that by the most favorable calculation the supply could not* keep pace with the world's needs beyond the year 1981, but starvation might be averted through the laboratory if the problomjof the fixation of the supply of nitrogen contained in tha atmosphere was solved. He estimated that fixed nitrogen of the value of sixteen million pounds was wasted annually by dumping the sewage of towns into the ocean, while the store in the atmosphere was unlimited. The problem was how to utilize it. If these stores of fixed nitrogen were ap- lied to the soil they would raise the average wheat crop per acre from 12.7 to aO bushels, enabling the supply to meet the demand. Sir William was of the opinion that the solution of the problem would be the burning of the nitrogen in the, air by a powerful electric current. Such a current might* be obtained by tho utilizing of Niagara Falls and the fixed nitrogen thereby produced would cost* ��5 per ton. AN INTERESTING REPORT. Toronto. Sept. 8.���A special cable to the Evening Telegram from London says: Tho report of thc British Association for tho Advancement of Science has just been handed out nnd is of considerable interest to Canadians. The success of the annual meeting at Toronto last year, the report says, was largely the result of the unremitting exertions of the local committee and the support received from the Ontario and Federal governments and the city of Toronto. The report further expresses the council's regret at the Dominion contemplating the discontinuance of tidal surveys in Canadian waters, and earnestly urges that the survey be continued.
