On Thursday, about noon, that portion of its membership which had decided to study the geology of this province and a portion of the Yukon, arrived in this city and spent some hours examining the immense low-grade copper deposits of this locality. Among the visitors were the representatives of at least ten European nations, in addition to those of this country, the United States and Japan, although while iii session at Toronto, there were representatives of 28 nations in conference. The special train conveying the delegates, arrived in this camp a little before one o'clock, and all disembarked at the. Rawhide mine, afterwards making their way on foot over the hill, via the Grey Eagle claim to the west side of the "glory hole" of the Granby mine. Here the attention of the scientists was taken up for some time and the party divided into two groups, one of which entered the mine, and were conducted over the tunnels and slopes by the assistant-supt., C. M. Campbell, and others of the company's staff. The remainder elected to make an examination of the geology from the surface and.extended their inspection to the adjoining claims of the B. C. Copper company! '-e., the Brooklyn and ' Stemwinder/ ' mines. * Lunch was served in the dining room of the Granby hotel, and at five o'clock a number of the geologists left on their special for Greenwood, where a visit' tb"*tfie B. C. Copper company's smelter was included in their itinerary. The others, with O. E. Le Roy of the Dominion Geological Survey, who, is - in charge of the B. C. section, made their way to Greenwood on foot and made an examination of the structure and mineral constitution of that portion of the camp en route. While, the gentlemen of the party were pursuing their investigations, the ladies of the party were the guests-of Mrs. C. M. Campbell, at her residence near the Snowshoe mine, and afterwards made the trip to Greedwood in rigs. Among the ladies invited to meet the visitors, were Mesdames Munro, Sweetser, Miller, Strutzel, Ritchie, Mulligan, Carson and the Misses Kelling and Swanson. �� . Number 6 DOUKHOBORS AGAIN DEFY LAWS OP THE DOMINION Secret Burials Taking Place-Provincial Authorities take Vigorous Action���Woman's Body Exumed���Police Attacked by Infuriated Mojt> of Women. More Motor Cars For Phoenix Ed. A. Black, who recently received the Ford automobile agency for the Boundary district, was in receipt of his first consignment of cars on Thursday. The shipment consisted of two autos, one a four- passenger, and the other a runabout designed to carry two. The driving power of either is the same, twenty horsepower, and each are guaranteed to be able to negotiate any and all of the roads found in this district. They were both in commission a very short time after delivery, and allowing for everything in the way of newness, seemed to be able to meet the requirements of the steep roads of this locality. Geo. Vichary, proprietor of the Butte hotel, is the purchaser of the four- passenger, while it is rumored there are several applicants for the ownership of-the other. Mine Inspector in Buggy Mishap While driving from the Silvc.r King mine to Nelson, a _few day> ago, a team driyen by James McGregor, government mine inspector, took fright and bolted. Robert Graham, another government,official, who was in the rig,- made a timely jump from'the vehi cle, but- Mr. McGregor, who was occupied in trying to keep the horses under dbntrol, was thrown and 'sustained injuries to his ankle and foot that will confine him to his residence for the next four or five weeks. Acting upon certain information, Police Constable' Stanfield of the Provincial police, went down to Grand Forks on Thursday, where a report was current to the effect that a death had taken place in the Doukhobor settlement, and the remains interred without the formality, required by law, of procuring the necessary permit from the proper authority. The grave having been located, permission to, exhume the body was secured, and the gruesome operation carried out in the afternoon. The same day, a coroners' jury was empannelled, and after the viewing of the body an adjournment was taken until Monday, When a verdict/guided by the result of a post mortem examination, was returned to the effect that the woman had died from an attack of pneumonia, accelerated by insufficient skilful attention. In addition to the verdict, the jury added a rider, "that a medical inspection of the entire , Doukhobor colony should be carried out once every month." A vigorous prosecution of all offenders is now confidently predicted. An alarming sequel to the above, says our- Grand Forks coirespbn dent, occurred on Monday, ,whe the nonsense written by irresponsible sentimentalists concerning the so-called angelic disposition of the Doukhobor, was rudely dispelled.; whose testimony as a witness, was regarded as absolutely indispensable. The party had arrived on the ranch and were approaching their man, when, without the slightest warning, the women of the colony, to the number of about eighty, left their work in the fields and surrounded the police officials, striking them with their potato hoes, pitchforks and even fenceposts. The fury of the women was indescribable and but for the fact that both of the officers are cool-headed and powerful men, the affair might have had a miich more serious ending. At times the officars were unable to see, owing to some of the Amazons blindfolding them. This appeared to be one of their favorite tactics, and it was upon such occasions when the officers' vision was ob- structed, that the rain of blows and punches were the heaviest and most severe. Only one man of the Douks took an active part in the melee, the male members of the colony to the number of fifty or sixty standing a short distance away, cheering, shouting and encouraging the infuriated viragos to further deeds of unlawful violence i New Grocery Store Opens To keep abreast of the times, and to show that the spirit of en^ terprize is still alive in our ci Messrs. Chas. McKay and C H. Knight have opened up a^ retail grocery and provision m on Knob Hill avenue. Both new proprietors are well kno Phoenix, Mr. McKay having actively connected with the dairying firm of McKay and Sons since the inception of that firm six years ago. Mr. Knight has already a thorough knowledge of the business he has embarked in, having acquired considerable experience in England as well as a knowledge of local wants gained as an employee of some years' standing with the Morrin- Thompson company of this town. The new firm has made arrangements with the principal wholesale houses on the coast for a continuous supply of only high-class stock. The store was opened yesterday with a very choice selection of goods, and if the amount of business done is any criterion of the future, the ultimate success of this young firm is well assured.

In answer to enquiries by the court as to the why and wherefore of his demonstration, he meekly informed the presence that he only intended to honor the town with a few hours' visit. He had arrived for the sole purpose, of depositing money in the bank. He was then ordered to make a further deposit of 20 plunks or go to the bastille for thirty days. Mr. Caffo promptly paid the required ransom. Two residents of Eholt figured in the Greenwood police court this week. One was Jean Voisin, a shoemaker. Jean is on the list of those to whom the smell of an empty rum bottle is considered highly dangerous. He is an interdict, and was charged with being under the influence of something more potent than the smell, while still on the rolls. W.

Their intention was to bring in a certain man, The attack was a positive surprise to, the officers, and indeed is the sensation of the hour here, where all have been led to believe that the Doukhobor religion forbids even such a thing as the killing of a worm. The attention of people here is now turned to Victoria and much interest is evinced at the next possible move of the authorities. Funeral of G. N. R. Employe All efforts to locate the relatives of the late Al. Nelson, the Great Northern bridge carpenter, who met his death on Friday of last week, in an accident while at work on the big local trestle bridge, have proved unavailing. All that can be learned -of him is that his father -was a resident of Knox, North Dakota, where he died a few years ago. Another clue followed with poor result was that' of a returned letter, addressed to the deceased's sister, Mrs. Pete Tilden, at Ross creek, near Edmonton. The deferred funeral took place on Tuesday, from the local undertaking parlor, a number of the unfortunate man's fellow employees following the casket to the cemetery. Owing to a regretable misunderstanding, no ninister was present at the interment, but R. K. McCammon of the Presbyterian church management board, reverently conducted a short service at the graveside.

Phoenix Still Has Cup In Sight After a stubborn ninety minutes' play, at Greenwood, on Wednesday, the opposing teams, representing this city and Greenwood, were obliged to call the game a drawn battle. In spite of every effort, which included some fine play, neither team were able to score a single goal. The local fans are now more confident than ever of the Jackson cup coming to Phoenix, and taking into account the splendid form shown by the local eleven in the other matches, it must be admitted that they have something on which to base their expectations.

I' I ^ < ������ More Buffalo Herds Found Three distinct herds of wild buffalo have been located west of the Slave river, on the extreme northern boundary of Alberta, says an Edmonton correspondent. The herds were located by a party of timber cruisers under the direction of A. J. Bell, government agent at Fort Smith, sent out by the Dominion Forestry department. Pierre Squirrel, chief of a tribe of Northern Indians, who was the guide to the party, estimates there are fully 200 animals in the herds. The buffalo resemble the American bison, from which they descended, but life in the hilly regions has" made them more agile and fleeter of foot. They travel in twos and threes In the summer, herding together in the winter for protection against their natural enemy, the timber wolf. It is announced here that the govern ment will take immediate steps to prevent the extermination of the herds by hunters and further protect the animals by increasing the wolf bounty. Harry V. Radford, e.n explorer, discovered another herd in the north two years ago. U.S. Judge Compliments B.C. "History does not tell of a better investment than you 400,000 people of British Columbih have made by spending sixteen million dollars in three years on the roads of your province," said Judge J. T. Ronald of Seattle the other day in an address to the Vancouver Progress club. Previously, says the Vancouver World, the visitor had kept his audience interested in figures dealing with construction and value of good roads. To emphasize the value and importance of good roads he said that in the United States certain counties selected at random had lost a population of 73,000 because of the lack of good roads, and that others in which good roads had been constructed had gained a population of 738,000. Judge Ronald quoted figures to prove his contention that good roads were essential to a country's pros perity, and he quoted more figures to show that bad roads caused a tremendous annual loss. He spoke too, and feelingly, of the good relations always exisitent between the people of this province and their friends in the State of Washington. '���If I had all the* money lost in the United States each year for ten years because of bad roads," said the judge, "I could pay off the interest on the national debt, build a Panama canal, build three magnificent roads, east and west across the continent, do much other good work and still have $100,000,000 left." Someone laughed in doubt, but the judge followed up his statement with figures and easily demonstrated the truth of this argument. In substantiating the statement, the speaker stated that the average cost per ton per mile, of hauling farm produce an average distance of nine, miles to a railway depot over- poor roads in the United States is $2.07. This computed from figures collected over a period of ten years by the United States Bureau of Good Roads, figures out at 23 cents per ton per mile. The loss on bad roads, says the judge, is $1.55 per ton for every ton hauled in the last ten years over bad roads. �� Owing to the surplus of bartenders in Vancouver, no more licenses for that profession are to be granted for some time.

Its problems are identical with those of California and as in the case of that State, its attempts to legislate for its own happiness and ultimate safety have all been cold-shouldered and turned down. The tide, however, so long against the people of the Pacific coast, now" shows unmistakable signs of turning. California, back ed by its central government, has struck the first blow. It is now the turn of British Columbia, or rather Canada. Hitherto we have had no support from the people of the Eastern" provinces, but we are glad to learn, thanks to our friends on the other side, that the vital question of the day in this province has actually been included in the subjects under discussion in the cabinet council room at Otttawa. According to the Ottawa Citizen, which is particularly well informed, "British Columbia and its problems are giving Ottawa considerable trouble and not a little anxiety these days. "The strike of the coal miners engaged the best attention of the department of labor all summer, and made necessary or desirable a trip to the coast and the scene of the trouble by the Hon. - T. W. Crothers. "Three weeks ago the arrival at the coast of Japanese junks, with Japanese who were intent upon evading the immigration laws, gave rise to considerable concern, which has been accentuated in no small degree by the apparently accurate report that two Japanese officials, as envoys of the mikado's government, are now on the coast studying conditions and taking into account British Columbia sentiment with regard to the Asiatic, immigration "The Oriental problem presents itself into an equally important and scarcely less disturbing light, with the action of the Hindus of British Columbia who are preparing to drive a coach and six through the immigration laws by chartering a direct steamship service. "The latter phase of the Asiatic question is now engaging the close attention of the government, and taken altogether, the Dominion government is giving closer attention at present to the Pacific coast and its many problems than ever in the past." dozen others of his clan and deport them to the land from whence they came���Russia. They are not British subjects. Since coming to Canada they have acted the part of spoiled children, and in this it must be admitted they have been abetted by the successive Laurier administrations, which for years past have deliberately winked at their wholesale infractions of the law while they were domiciled in the Northwest. One objection to deportation, we understand, lies in the fact that the law at present does not permit of a person being expelled from Canada who has resided in the country for two years. But as we have a parliament, there is such a thing as amending the law to suit the exigencies of the case. Our contemporary also says that the jails of this province would be insufficient to accommodate the thousands of martyrs. This is unfortunately too true. But if deportation in lieu of imprisonment is adopted, the number of "Douks" looking for a martyr's crown will be reduced to a minimum. Brooklyn The Only First-Class and Up-To-Date Hotel in Phoenix.

Permits for Itinerant Pedlars Phoenix and other Boundary cities might with advantage take a leaf from Cranbrook's book in the matter of exercising some control over the many itinerant peddlars (beggars woutd be a more correct definition), that regularly make this part of the country a scene for their activities. There can be no doubt but that many of this class of visitors are in the highest degree deserving of more than passing sympathy, but on the other hand, quite a percentage among those that have come under our observation require some investigation on the part of the police. The authorities of Cranbrook recognise this, and protects its citizens from imposition by "requiring all beggars to furnish an I account of themselves to the chief' of police, who; if he considers the case bona fide, is empowered to grant the.1 mendicant a permit to canvas the city.

Liberal organs, (it was a Liberal government that brought them in), profess to see in the "Douks" a serious problem for the government to solve. One contemporary suggests that "Czar Peter" should be allowed a close acquaintance with the inside working of a Canadian jail. But why should the taxpayers of this province be burdened with the continuous upkeep of a string of recalcitrant Doukhobors, for this much is certain, Peter the Great of Doukhobordom will not be alone in jail. He will have dozens of I is tribe accompanying him. Perhaps a more effective remedy would be to collar the' wily Pete with about a Ferhand Labori, chief lawyer of the Paris bar, in a speech the other day before the Canadian Club of Vancouver,' declared that the late King Edward was the best Frenchman born outside of the borders of Prance. This is almost as good as the reply of Ambassador Jos. Choate, the American representative to England, who on being asked what position he would like to occupy if he had his life to go over again, replied that no position would suit him so well as that of being his wife's second husband.

But the Telegraph omits to say what the said cruisers would look like after a single first-class Japanese dreadnought had been pounding, them for twenty miuutes. If we are to have a fleet at Esquimault it must be of such size and power to withstand let us say for illustration, half the navy of Nippon. Isolated units are of no use either at Victoria or anywhere else, except in the case of carnivals. Professor A. M. Goldstein, "a special agent of the Russian government, is in Canada, making a study among other things, of the condition of the Russian settlers in western Canada. It is to be hoped that his nibs, who is probably some Muscovite police official, will find his former fellow subjects as happy and contented as they were in the dear old land, under the beneficent care of the kind little father and hisl lamb-like Cossacks.
