C, FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE 21, 1901 -V.-?��� '5 PRICE FIVE CENTS MEANS MUCH TO AINSWORTH THE HIGHLANDER TUNNEL WILL WORK WONDBRS. Will .Drain the Camp of Water and Permit Economic Working of Several Properties. Although nothing authentic has been learned as yet as to the values of the ore encountered in the long tunnel of the Highlander property at Ainsworth, the mere fact of striking the Highlander ledge at this great depth is taken as an assurance of the future of the camp. Too much cannot be said in favor of the pluck of Maxwell Stevenson of Philadelphia, who in the face of discouragement after discouragement continued to manifest his confidence in the camp, and in the end succeeded in accomplishing what several others attempted before him, but failed. All told, Mr. Stevenson and his associates have spent upwards of $100,000 in the development of the Highlander property, tlie big development tunnel alone representing an expenditure of close upon ,$25,000 for labor alone. It is now iu very nearly 1000 fceb and has beeu put in so as to accommodate a double track .tramway, the "idea of its projectors being to work all other big properties in the mill is operated by one of the finest little horse-powers in the country, 140 horse-power being developed with a small stream of water with a head of over 1000 feet. MINES PAYING DIVIDENDS the camp through it, ample.-provision having been made in its construction for the carrying off of the large volume of water which is to be expected when Loon lake is reached. <- The former work upon the High- t&uider was done on. the outcrop of the vein near the top of the hill, at an. elevation of about 1300 feet above the level of the lake. From these workings some very high grade ore was taken, its chief value being in silver. All the ledges in the Ainsworth camp appear to~run north and south, so-that by con- ' tinusng the big tunnel for a sufficient distance they could all be cut. The Highlander ledge has been traced on the surface for a considerable distance to Cedar creek. In running in the big tunnel the Tariff ledge was" cut last summer, and it is a simple matter of calculation now to estimate how far it would have to be continued to catch the Little Donald ledge, which runs parallel to that of the Highlander. The "Highlander vein dips back from the lake, and where it has been cut in the big tunnel is well within the lines of the Little Donald property. Those who are at all familiar with the lay of the properties in -the-^Ainsworth���camp-will- readily appreciate the important part which the Stevenson tunnel must play in its development. Heretofore the great difficulty encountered in the development of the properties .has been with respect to the great quantities of water to be dealt with. Just above the Highlander on one side is a great swamp and ou the other is Loon like. This very considerablebody of water is' held on the mountain side by what appears to be some rim rock, aud it lays virtually over what has always been regarded as some very rich properties, notably the Lady of the Lake and the King Solomon mines. Indeed the early eiforts ab development in the camp were in no small measure directed with a view to getting rid of this lake. The first efforts were directed to lowering the level of the lake by means of ditching, and by breaking through the rim rock the level of the lake was lowered somewhat, but the undertaking promised to be very expensive and was finally abandoned. This work was undertaken by Dan Clark and his partners while they were the owners of the Lady of the Like property, and when they had abandoned the ditching process they tried to syphon out the lake, but this also failed. Maxwell Stevenson has been interested in the Highlander property since the spring of 1893. He and his associates own the Highlander and the Ivanhoe properties, the Highlander being a location under the old law, which permitted the following of the dip of the vein. Of the Ivanhoe property it is generally conceded that its chief value is as a mill site, Mr. Stevenson having on it a concentrating plant with a capacity of 100 tons per day. This Encouraging News From a Mine. London, June 10.���A cable has just been received from the Ymir company's representative at Nelson, announcing that the present rate of extraction by the cyanide process is 00 per cent in gold. The estimated profit, per month, with final plant, is $7000. Iu connection with this cable the following circular has been issued by the secretary: "As you are aware, experiments have been carried out over an extended period with a view to the extraction of the gold remaining in the tailings'* by means of the cyanide process. These experiments were in the first instance carried out upon a small scale with satisfactory results, after which a small and complete plant was laid down for treating some hundreds of tons per month. The result of this later bulk is given in the following table just received: 'Cyanide process, present rate of extraction is gold 90 per cent, estimated profit per month (with) final plant $7000 (-81450).' This information is" very gratifying, as the above figures represent an additional profit from this source of some,��17,000 per annum, equal to 8h per cent on the total capital of the company." LAST DAY OF THE.SYNOD NOTWITHSTANDING THE CRIES OF THE BLUE RUIN SHOUTEBS. British Columbia Leads Both' Montana and Idaho' in the Number of Dividend-Faying Mines - Adjournment Taken at Noon. The second synod of the diocese of Kootenay completed its labors yesterday at the forenoon session. The first order of business at yesterday's session was the consideration of the canon on superannuation. Several amendments were made to the proposed canon in committee, and clauses nine and ten were finally left to be dealt with, by a special committee to be appointed by the bishop. _ . After the adoption of the report of the committee of the whole the bishop, appointed Rev. II. S.' Akehurst, Rev. C. A. Prociinier, E. A. Crease, George Johnstone and J. M. Lay a committee to consider and report on the clauses in question.' The bishop announced the consecration of tho church at Grand Porks on Tuesday of next week, and stated that members of the "synod would be made welcome at Grand Forks upon that occasion. On motion of Rev. H. Steele, seconded by Dr. Westwood, it was decided to appoint a committee on temperance, and the bishop appointed the following: Rev. W. A. Robbins, Rev. H. - Steele, the archdeacon, Robert Wood, Messrs. Gray, H. C. Hannington and Dr. West- wood. The motion on Sunday observance, of which Rev. Ii. Beacham gave- notice,--was withd rawir- in" favor of the following, moved by Rev. H. S. Akehurst, seconded by Rev. H. Beacham: That we, the members of the synod of Kootenay, would very strongly urge upon our parishes the importance of religious observance of the Lord's Day, which should never be lost sight of in the search for-recreation.' We would also express our sincere sympathy with all who are endeavoring to secure for the wage-earning population this one day of rest in the seven. The registrar, E.'A,'-Crease, presented the report of the vatious parishes and missions, with the naturo of the title and the amount of taxes, etc. He. strongly urged upon the clergy, and parish officers the necessity of taking immediate steps to secure proper title and registration. A resolution in accordance with this suggestion was then moved by Mr. Crease and seconded by Rev. H. S. Akehurst. On motion of Rev. H. Steele, seconded hy Dr. Westwood, it was resolved that when the deeds of church property have been duly registered and accepted they shall be forwarded to the registrar of the.diocese. The remainder of the session was then given over to the passage of votes of thanks. The first was to the rector and wardens of St. Saviour's church and school room for the use of the synod. The second was to Rev. J. H. Lambert for his sermon on Wednesday evening, coupled with the request that he send it to the Canadian Churchman for publication. The secretary was also requested to forward a vote of thanks to the Nelson Club for the courtesy extended to the members of the synod. When statistics are sought for and found, they do not confirm the statements made by the gang of blue-ruin shouters that are now decrying British- Columbia .as a field for mining investments. Instead, they go to prove that British Columbia, considering^ the age of its quartz mining industry, stands well-to the front. Quartz mining as a business, carried on by incorporated companies, dates from 1895, and is therefore but six years old in British Columbia. In Montana and Idaho and Utah and California, quartz mining has been carried on by incorporated companies for over 20 years. In Montana, 13 companies have paid dividends ; in Idaho, but 7. In Utah, 20" companies have declared dividends, and in California 20. British Columbia, the youngest of all quartz ���mining countries, has 17 incorporated companies that has declared dividends, as the list below goes to show'. These are figures that should be printed0for circulation, .because they will tend to give people confidence : in the Oberon. the music hall that brought him a monthly, revenue of over $1600. Here he had seen thousands of men before him add to his growing liches, while trying to "beat the machine." So it is that Carl August Thilo, l>on vivant, good fellow, and- successful business man has gone mad. At the Oberon there are many card machines from the synod on this whole question cigars. Many a good dollar they brought the house. One day, strangely enough, vhile watching them, the proprietor became interested. He wished to try his own fortune thero in a gambling game of solitaire against himself, and he must have lost. But he would not give it up. On his last big play he hired a small boy to pull down the handle and"dropped $1850 without stopping,-in a Clover- dale machine.

New York, June 20.���The Italian consul, general Giovanni Branchia, has received the following letter from a committee of English-speaking anarchists, who held a meeting Tuesday afternoon in the home of an up-town physician: "To the Italian Consul: -~ Knowing the temper of the Paterson comrades, we, the English:speaking anarchists of New York and vicinity, .would earnestly request you to desist from employing spies any' further. We fear that if persisted in this may lead to bloodshed, which we deplore." Tuesday's meeting was attended by leading members of the anarchist group in Philadelphia and Boston. Four of the nine men at the meeting were physicians. The meeting was called because of threats made at a meeting of Paterson anarchists held Monday night. It was decided to send a letter to the consul-general. . The English- speaking anarchists have made au arrangement with the anarchists in Paterson by which the latter were to commit no act of violence for soven days. When that period has elapsed it will -be' known whether the Italian consul has decided to abandon the system which it is said has been in Paterson since Bresci assassinated king Humbert. Wanted Pive Aces. ' The nickei-ih-the-slot machine has driven C.-A. Thilo of San Francisco to _ madness. Por days, weeks and months he dropped large sums of his fortune into the polished, gambling boxes in a forlorn effort to get five aces. Finally, his strange mania was declared a new form of absolute insanity by the courts, and he was committed to Napa asylum by judicial order to stop the heavy drain on his income., Thilo himself maintains that he is not mad and throughout his struggle for liberty still avers that it is possible to get five aces for a nickel and win a big prize, pther men who have played the slot machine, and their name is legion, told him it could "not be done. Thilo answered that he would prove it and to that end he has dropped a small fortune in nickels, a fortune that runs up into the thou- &ands, but he never got more than four aces at any one time. Day after day he has dropped $25, $50, $60' and some times as high as $100 in nickels, into the insatiable slot, until all his pockets have bulged with the cigars, prizes, but r:eyer the five aces he so coveted. Once early in his strange auest he nearly had it, but the fifth ace fell and a king took its place. That proved his undoing, for it held out the alluring hope that sometime he would succeed, and his passion for playing the slot machine superseded everything else, even bjs personal pride The vigilance bf the Nelson police yesterday.frustrated what looked very much like an attempt at wife desertion on the part of a man i,��i7,uuu whose name the police did not i'l��'ooo I afcterPPfc to secure. The woman in > ..-.��� the case was a Miss-Williams a few months ago, --and',.who. appears - to have been singularly - unfortunate in her matrimonial ventures. She first became known to the city police some three or four months'ago, * when she arrived in the city from Winnipeg in search of her brother and her intended husband. . As she was without means she was maintained for several days at one of the' city hotels at the corporation's expense until some trace could be secured of those for whom she was in search. The police finally located the parties in Rossland, and the woman was furnished with transportation and started on her way. Nothing further was heard from her until Wednesday, when the police were again called in to locate her hus- bandL It~appears tliat" upon going to Rossland Miss Williams, either from choice or necessity, shifted Greenwood, June 20.���[Special to The Tribune.]���Pursuant to call an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders of the Brandon and Golden Crown Mining Company' was held tonight, ���when ib "was unanimously decided to reconstruct the company on an assessable basis. Of 1,500,000 shares, over 1,200,000 was represented at ihe meeting.' Necessary special resolutions were, passed for placing the company in voluntary liquidation and iu reconstructing the new concern, to be known as the Golden Crown Mines, Limited. The capitalization will be the���same dollar shares���but only paid up to ninety-five cents, thus allowing an assessment of five cents per share, equivalent to $75,000 to be raised for working purposes. A general meeting required for confirmation of the resolutions passed tonight will-be held iii Rossland July 9fcb, when it is ^expected that all arrangements will be completed to resume development of the mine about August 1st. - W. A. Fuller was appointed liquidator. The mine has 6000 feet of -work aud is developed to q depth of 300. feet. Among the principal shareholders present were: Hon. T. Mayne Daly, K. C, president, Rossland-; Walter L. Orde, secretary, Rossland; G. R. Caldwell/ K.C, Brandon, Man.; John Inglis, Brandon; W. J. Porter, Phoenix; and George II. Collins, J. A: Russell and W. A.

According to the story which the woman told constable Ileabener, her husband mot her in this city and took her to a .hotel. Her suspicious were soon aroused, h&wever, as her husband's trunk was not at the hotel at, which she was stopping. Tho husband offered some excuse for this, however, and the couple retired. Soon'after the husband made some excuse and quit the room. After waiting some time for his return the ,-woman started out in search of him . and enlisted the assistance of constable Ileabener. He in turn reported the case to sergeant Hardy. The missing trunk was located on the city wharf, and some further inquiry satisfied the police that the owner of the trunk had taken passage on the steamer, and was at the time asleep on board. A plan of campaign was quickly decided upon, and a few minutes before the steamer was due to sail the anxious wife was taken on board by the police and cautioned against awakening her spouse until the boat sailed. Here the interest of the police in the case ceased, but it i9 by no means certain that it was devoid of further complications. Just what would happen should it develop that the man asleep on board was neither the owner of the trunk nor the woman's missing husband the police appear to have entirely overlooked, but in this event it is not improbable that the city will receive another visit from the woman in the case.

A large crowd had turned out to witness the horse races, young McSwane being one of the riders. He mounted in the trial heat and the horse bolted and ran along in front of the crowd, colliding with a tree, the' young rider beiug killed instantly from fracture of. the skull. Finance minister Turner left this afternoon for Toronto. Discussing the question of salmon fisheries control this morning Mr. Turner said he had not been strongly in favor of provincial control, and as a canner did not agree with it altogether. The latest telegrams received by the government at Victoria from Ottawa were that the Dominion would this year collect all revenue and then give the province its proportion, the matter in later years beiug settled by a friendly suit in the courts or arbitration. In any event, if provincial control were arranged he considered the Dominion should exercise Cold Weather on the Continent. London, June 20.���June, wliich began in western and southern Europe with premature August-like heat, has become in the past week abnormally cold. Great Britain, France, Germany, Austria and Italy have "suffered alike. Some nights have been absolutely frosty and the thermometer Tuesday registered 2S degrees. There were similar temperatures in parts of France and Italy, while snow was common in Austria and Hungary. The weather has had the worst effect on crops everywhere. It is stated that the wheat crops in Frauce have been ruined. The almost unbroken drought in England during the month has destroyed the hay crop and seriously checked others. Wednesday there was some rain. the right of making regulations as to size of mesh of nets and other matters which did not come under provincial control properly in auy event. Canners have issued an advertisement offering 12�� cent9 for the season up to July 27th, and 10 cents thereafter. Japs have accepted this, and all white fishermen will be compelled before tho canners buy to contract ou this basis. Important Strike. Rosslanii, June 20.���A strike of considerable importance has been made on the Blue Bird mine, which is operated by the Montana Mining Compwy. Tlie property is situated on lower Arrow Lake, about four miles frotn Deer Park. A,few days since on the 100-foot level the main ledge was encountered and crosscut for six feet. ^Chen there was an inrush of water, which drove "the miners from the workings, although the ledge had not yet been fully crosscut.- Assays show that the ore goesabout $35 to the ton, but a picked sample weutas high as$500. William Lambert, the secretary- treasurer of the company, has purchased a 40-horse-power boiler, a 25-horse-power hoist and a No. 5 Knowles sinking pump. The workings will be uuwatered as soon as the plant is installed and the development will be pushed on a larger scale than ever, to tlie end that shipments may be commenced at the earliest possible moment.

Toronto, June 20."��� The striking trackmen here have been much put. out all day over,what .they call the ' unbrotherly conduct of the Toronto labor unions in not attending " Mr. Wilson's meeting last night. . Only two labor men, outside'the strikers themselves, put in an appearance, and one ot these, Mr. Armstrong, former president of the typograph- z ical union, bluntly told-the strikers that the public could not compre-- . bend their position, and that in trad03 union circles it would be deemed absurd for men "to abandon the employment of the ,C* P., that has all along been paying the highest rate of wages, in the hope of compelling it to make a further increase,, while at the same time remaining at work for the Grand Trunk and Intercolonial,-which pays low rates. Mr. Wilson takes the ground that the question of wages on the Intercolonial and Grand Trunk has nothing to do with the matter, that the lowest C. P. R. wage of $1.20 ought to bo increased to $1.50. Inquiry today amongst the "various trades unions leaders shows that they are unanimous in upholding Mr. Armstrong's view aud in combating Mr. Wilson's. The rule with unions is to insist on.uniformity, of wages, and-no case is known in Canada, at any rate, in which an employer paying a higher rate than other employers in the same line of business has been subjected to"a strike for a further advance, whilst the employers paying less have been let alone. To adopt the principle which Mr. Wilson has foisted on the trackmen, would, says a Toronto labor leader, soon bring organized labor into contempt. Did'nt Pay the Printer.

Ifc simply did iLs bo.��fc to tin n the government in power out and3 get iis f 1 lends in. In tini"', it succeeded. It is now growing fat on government pap, and home day .its. owner.-1 will get something be.-ides "Irish dividends." Practical politics is merely business reduced to an exact science. A'V the ses-sioii of the legi.-hiture held iu the. summer of 1900 an appropiiation of $1500 was made for a government office building to be luc.ited afc some place in Goat River* mining division. The government- agent afc Nelson was instructed to look the ground over and r-jeoinnv-nd the most suitable place. II1-: did so, and recommended thafc the building be erected at Creston. For doing so, he was slated in one newspaper and his motivi-s were questioned. A petition signed by .runny who wero not residents of the division asked that the building bo not erected at Creston, bub at Kuskonook. Tho government agent, however, was instructed to call for tenders for the ejection of tlio building at Creston, bufc the one tender received was $200 higher than the sum appropriated, and the department' of public works could nofc see its way clear to authorize the work to bo done. This all occurred-last "fall. Nine days now remain for the woik to be-authorized;* but ifc is not likely that the chief commissioner of lands and works can spare sufficient .time from his social duties, such as attending banquets and other functions, to look into the matter. Anyway, the work is not in the riding represented by. the honorable the chief commissioner of lauds and work?, and he knows so little of the wants of auy other riding in Kootenay.. in no way concerns either the carpenters or the miners, but does concern the business men of Nelson, and tends to. retard the general prosperity of the town, where are the carpenters and tho miners to be found. If reports in circulation are true, they are nob helping the men who helped them in their hour of need. ' An issue has been raised iu Nelson and it must be met. The clerks' union, with, it is said, the assistance of two or three of the other unions, have taken it upon themselves to say wheu the merchants of Nelson shall do busiuess. Many of the merchants will not, under any circumstances, submit to any such interference, aud are ready to meet the.issue. The merchants who are resisting this unreasonable interference with their rights have right on their side and they willwin. Discussed Tariff Matters. Washington", June 20.���The Russian ambassador, count Cassini, had a conference of about half an hour with secretary Hay today, during which the tariff questions were discussed quite fully. The conference did not, however, lead to any development in the matter. It is understood, however, that it resulted in renewed assurance from the ambassador that Russia's action was entirely devoid of political importance and was in no way connected with a general movement in Europe antagonistic to American products. The Italian charge d'alfairep, M. Caraginiani, also had a talk wifch secretary Has*-. AUCTION OF VALUABLE REi*\L PROPERTY, PLANT, STEAM TUG, BAR.GE, MATERIAL AND FIXTURES. Some of the unions are going to extremes. Recently a clerks' union was organized in Nelson, and the ^emaiid_w_s_irironce~rnTOe^t1Wt=tlre= merchants of the town close their doors at 12 o'clock noon on .-Thursday, and keep .them closed the remainder of the day. This demand was not acceded to by the merchants who believe that they alone have the right to manage their own business a (fairs, and the clerks have, it is said, enlisted the services of the carpenters' union and the miners' union to coerce tho recalcitrant merchants. Suppose these methods Avere carried to a finalfcy ou Fuch line.-1. Were the merchants to trse their influence with contractors and miue owners, and induce them to suspend all work on Thursday afternoons, the wages of every carpenter and miner working iu Nolson district would be $1.75 a week less than what they now receive. Suppose, further, that this reduction of earnings was brought about iu other trades employing union labor-, the direct loss to wage- earners in Nelson would be many hundreds of dollars every week. All these things should be considered before tho unions take action on a question with which they have no right, in any way, to interfere.

A license to wed was yesterday granted to -Thomas Russell and Elizabeth Bradley. Alfred Bunker has decided to abandon his farming for the summer and try his hand at prospecting. He will leave in a few days for the Lardeau. The cash donations to the celebration fund were swelled yesterday by a subscription to the Mansfield Manufuctur- de Bailliencoui-t $25, and A. Booth ?6. ' The Lake of the Woods Milling Company, through Fred Starkey has offered to donate five barrels of their celebrated flour to be given as a prize in connection. with the Dominion Day sports. The sale of the Archibald furniture and effects will take place on Wednesday next, at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. Messrs. Charles A. Waterman & Co. have the sale in hand, and their announcement will appear tomorrow. There will be a Swedish gospel meeting on Sunday forenoon a"_d evening in Miner's Union hall. The forenoon service will begin at 10:30 o'clock and the evening services at 8 o'clock. All Scandinavians are cordially invited to attend these services, whicli will be held by Rev. N. J. Wess'ell. % H. H.. Playford and E. G. Wilson, under the firm name of Playford & Wilson, will open as tobacco and cigar merchants in the Madden block, in the store now occuppietl by the Ontario Powder .Company, as soon as that company vacates. Both gentlemen are well known and they should be successful. It was reported in Nelson yesterday that the contractors for the British Columbia Southern, and the road from Grand Forks to Republic had been let. Guthrie & Company'of St. Paul are said to have received the contract for the flrst work, and Syms & Company, also of St. Paul, the contract for the Grand Forks **oad. The executive of the celebration com- mittre met yesterday afternoon and reade good headway in arranging the official program.. The details will all be in shape today, so that the work c-xn be given into the hands of the printer .on. Monday. The fund is now about ?34''0 in cash, with some thirty odd articles of value for special prizes. The Granite mill is still running on Poorman, and it is thought that there is still enough ore on hand "to keep the mill, going for another week at least. The accident to the compressor, which occasioned the shut down at the Poor- man, is fully as serious as was feared, and it is not likely that work will be resumed on the property for several .weeks as the management does not feel justified in carrying on development without the machine drills. A number of fresh young men dipped a Chinaman in the lake yesterday afternoon. The Chinaman has lodged a complaint with the.police and the matter will probably be ventilated in the police court tomorrow. The trouble was the outcome of some horse '.'lay in which the young men were amusing themselves at the expense of the "chink," and upon his resenting the liberties taken with him he was dipped ih the lake. B. Mansfield of the Mansfield Manufacturing Company is exhibiting an interesting curio in the shape of a piece of old Roman brick taken from the bath at Bath, England, which it is alleged was built in the time of Claudius Caesar, A. D. 93. The curio, whicli is well or, to 2000 years, more closely resembles a tile than a. brick, being less than an inch in thickness, but it bears evi-lon/'.e that the modern brick makers have not much. f* Columbia everything was reported to be going ahead as usual. The fancy dress ball which has been decided upon by the carnival committee in connection with the Dominion Day celebration may now be regarded as an assured success,a sufficient number having expressed their intention of participating to make the ball a very attractive feature of the carnival. While the barge is in midstream it will be used by the judge in viewing the carnival procession, so that the dancers -will have the best possible viewv of the boats as they move around. After the judges have made their awards the barge, will be towed baCK to the city wharf, so that the dancers may leave it at their pleasure. An admission fee of $1 per couple will be charged, and no one. will be allowed on the barge who is not in fancy dress costume. A full orchestra will furnish music for the dancers. uty grand master, and the following were elected as "officers: John Toye. master; J, Smith, Rossland, 'deputy ?naster; Rev. J. B. Morgan, chaplain; D. McVannel. Slocan, financial secretary; D. J. Robertson, treasurer; F. Rutherford, Rossland, director of ceremonies; and Thomas Lake, Slocan, lecturer. The.local lodges of Nelson, Rossland, Sandon and Slocan were well represented. The next meeting of the district lodge will be held at Rossland at a date to be fixed. The next meeting of tho grand lodge of the province will be hild in this city in February next. HAVE BROKE AWAY FROM The Thursday Closing Movement. The Thursday Closing Movement was sprung on the merchants of Nelson without consideration, and is not at all popular with' any class except half a dozen clerks, who claim that their duties are so irksome that they must have recreation during the middle of the week. Yesterday all the hardware dealers broke away from the movement, and the only houses closed were some of those dealing in dry goods, clothing, groceries and jewelry. Even some of those who had their front doors closed were induced to sell goods by way of their back entrances. When the dealers who close express an opinion, it is gen-' orally in the following words: "I know tne .movement is not doing the town any good, but I signed the agreement without due, consideration, and I will not be the first to break it. Anyway, I do not wish.to incur the enmity of the unions, as they say they are all powerful in Nelson." TELEPHONE 87 EL .BT2r_B3_BS" l got $5 on it. Later Parker returned asked for another dollaro��� a,s bmb and asked for another dollar, when he was asked to endorse the note, and thereupon wrote Herman Peterson on the back. The police say-the same man passorl checks in Spokane some months ago under the name of Parker. ' * -The man under arrest in Spokane operated in. Nelson under the name of Harry Parker. 'He arrived in the city from Ainsworth, - and negotiated a check with George Bartlett. of. the Clarice hotel, for f��4, which upon neinir presented.'at "the bank was pronounced a forgery. " This check was made payable to H. Parker .and Maxwell Steven-' son's name appeared on it as the maker. Some time, however, elapsed between the,.negotiating of ihe check and Its presentation at the bank, so that when the local'police so.ught tb gfcther Par-ker in he had decicrpcd. A warrant is out for. his arrest, and if he slips through the hands of the Spokane police he will be brought back to Nelson.. " The Nelson police are also confident that Parker hrid a hand in the .iraking of the series of forged checks which were put in circulation some months ago, upon which the signatures .of J. Honeyman, of the Nelson foundry, was so freely used, but they were in the dark until after the forged check was passed on Bartlett. jsrBLso]5r STORES AT _E_Z-A.SJLO S-AJsriDoiisr A Seasonable Proposal. H. Byers & CoM the Lawrence Hardware Company and McLachlan Bros., dealers in hardware and mining supplies, have decided that they will not close their stores on Thursday afternoons. InBtead of closing on Thursdays, they have agreed to close on Saturday afternoons from 12 to 7, and reopen at 7 and remain open until 10 o'clock."' This action of the three leading hardware firms is fair notice that they will not be coerced.into doing some thing that they know is injuring the business interests of the town; but, at the same time, it "shows that they are willing to give their employees a half holiday on the day that is now generally recognized as the one best suited for that purpose.. Were the dry good and grocery stores to follow the lead of the hardware dealers,'.a foolish movement would be dead, and overworked clerks would still get their half holiday. v. PERSONAL. W. F.
