Tho Japanese captured\nseven Russian ships and chased others.\nThere have been disturbances at Port\nArthur In which a number of Japanese\ncivilians were killed or imprisoned.\nA Chinese mob has destroyed the telegraph line around New Olimang.\nIn a dispatch from Shanghai dated\nFebruary 12th, 2 a. m., a correspondent\not the Dally Telegraph Bays: \"The\nbombardment of Port Arthur continues.\nThree Russian cruisers have been sunk.\nThe Russian Bank building haa been\ndestroyed.\"\nTHB CHEMULPO ENGAGEMENT\nLondon, Feb. 12.\u2014Statements of all\nkinds concerning the Port Arthur light\nare published here this morning.\nAccording to the Chee Foo correapon-\n1 dent of tho Dally Mall, the lack of preparation on the part ot the Russians-at\nPort Arthur was due to the fact that all\nthe naval and military officers were attending a circus performance in Port\nArthur, which did not terminate until\nearly Tuesday morning.\nAccording to the correspondent ot the\nParis edition of tho New York Herald\nat Chee Foo, the Japanese torpedo boats\nsucceeded lu entering the outer harbor\nby a ruse.\nA correspondent of the Standard at\nToklo sends In this morning an entirely\nnew account of the Port Arthur encounter. He says admiral Togo's fleet\narrived on Monday night and found the\nRussian squadron drawn up in battle\nformation outside the harbor, and under\nthe shadow of the forts, the destroyers\nbeing spread out In front over a distance\nof five miles. Admiral Togo decided on\na night attack, and opened Are at 11\no'clock. While the cannonade was hottest, a number of Japanese torpedo boats\ncrept along close ln shore and succeeded In the darkness in getting in\nbetween the Russian ships and the land.\nHere they lay unnoticed until the Russians began to give way before the Japanese flre.-fiud sought to re-enter the\nharbor. The Japanese torpedo boats\nthen opened Are at comparatively close\nrange, and sunk two battleships and one\ncruiser close to the entrance of the\nharbor. The effect of this coup was the\n:retreat of the remainder of the squadron\nInto the harbor. All was safe on board\n(the Japaneso ships at noon of Tuesday,\n'the correspondent continues, and the\n\u25a0engagement was then still in progress.\nALL'S FAIR IN WAR.\n'Clever Ruse of Japanese to Size Up\nSituation at Port Arthur.\nNew York, Feb. 11.\u2014In a cable dispatch from Chee Foo, the Herald's correspondent says he interviewed the Japanese consul at Chee Foo, who told him\nwhen he was Informed by his government tbat tbe Japanese minister at St.\nPetersburg was withdrawn on February\n'Oth, he chartered a British vessel and\nwent to Port Arthur and Dalny to take\n'off refugees. He was afforded every\nfacility by the Russian government offt-\n\u25a0clals at Port Arthur. Quarantine was\nremoved and the consul entered the\ntown In official dress. He was saluted\n'by soldiers and Invited to dinner by a\nJapanese Capture Seven Russian Ships\u2014Three More Russian Cruisers Said to Have Been\nSunk--The Mikado Issues a Proclamation Appealing in Eloquent Language to the\nPatriotism of His People\u2014Declares Independence of Korea Essential to\nPeace in Far East\u2014Russia Is Bitter Against Great Britain.\nhigh official, where a toast was drunk\nthat peace might be restored. After\nleaving Dalny be encountered the Japanese fleet about 18 miles from Port\nArthur. A high naval Japanese commander traveled as a menial ln the\nconsul's train to Port Arthur and noted\nthe exact position of the Russian ships\nand also that they had not got steam\nup and were not keeping a sharp lookout. As soon as the- Japanese. were\nsighted signals were interchanged and\nthe Japanese officer was taken aboard\nthe flagship. There he made a detailed\nreport to admiral Togo. \"I saw this\ncommander, who wishes his name withheld, and he explained to me with marvellous accuracy the course ot the fight,\nthough he had not seen lt. He said the\nRussians were In four lines. In front\not all was the Augara, the only ship\nwhich had searchlights. It will thus be\nseen that the Japanese torpedo boats\ncarried out an excessively bold venture.\nThe Japanese had 16 vessels.\"\nTHB VARIAG'S CAPTAIN.\nReported to Have Blown the Vessel Up\nAfter Crew Escaped.\nLondon, Feb. 11.\u2014Reuter's correspondent at Toklo in a dispatch timed\n9.15 p. m. yesterday says: \"Details of\nthe Chemulpo fight received here say\nthat the captain of the Varlag remained\non board his ship and blew her up after\nthe crew escaped. Part ot the crew\nswam to a French ship and others got\nashore. One report says that the French\nwarship notified the Russians ot the\nJapanese approach. The Koreltz engaged the Japanese cruisers flrst while\nthe Varlag prtected the transports. The\nKoreltz will be soon destroyed.\"\nMIKADO'S PROCLAMATION.\nToklo, Feb. 11.\u2014The following is the\ntext of the imperial proclamation declaring war against Russia, which was\nissued In Japan yesterday:\n\"We, by the grace of heaven, emperor of Japan, seated on the throne\noccupied by the same dynasty since\ntime Immemorial, hereby make proclamation to all our loyal and brave subjects as follows:\n\"Wo hereby declare war against Rub-\nsla and we command our army and navy\nto carry on hostilities against her, in\nobedience to their duty, with all their\nstrength, and we also command all our\ncompetent authorities to make every\neffort, In pursuance of their duties, to\nattain the national aim with all the\nmoans within the limits of the law ot\nnations.\n\"We have alwayB deemed It essential\nin International regulations, and have\nmade It our constant aim to promote\nthe pacific progress of our empire in\ncivilization, to strengthen our friendly\nties with other states and to establish\na state of things which would maintain\nenduring peace ln the far cast aud\nassure the future security of our dominion without Injury to the rights or\nInterests of other powers.\n\"Our competent authorities have also\nperformed their duties In obedience to\nour will so that our relations with all\nthe powers had beon steadily growing\nIn cordiality. It was thus entirely\nagainst our expectation that we have\nunhappily come to open hostilities\nagainst Russia. The Integrity of Korea\nis a matter of the gravest concern to\nthis empire, not only because of our traditional relations with that country,\nbut because the separate existence of\nKorea Is essential to the safety of our\nrealm. Nevertheless Russia, in disregard of her solemn treaty pledges to\nChina and her repeated assurance to\nother powers, Is still in occupation of\nManchuria, has consolidated and\nstrengthened her hold on those provinces and is bent upon their final annexation. And, since the absorption of\nManchuria by Russia would render it\nimpossible to maintain the Integrity of\nChina and would in addition compel\nthe abandonment of all hope of peace\nIn the far east, we were determined in\nthose circumstances to settle the question by negotiations to secure this\nby permanent peace.\n\"With this object ln view, our competent authorities, by our order, made\nproposals to Russia and frequent conferences were held during the last six\nmonths. Russia, however, .never met\nsuch proposals In a spirit of conciliation, but, by wanton delays, tut off a\nsettlement of the serious questions, and\nby ostensibly advocating peace on one\nhand, while on the other extending her\nnaval and military preparations, sought\nto accomplish her own saltish designs.\nWe cannot In the least admit Russia bad :\nfrom tbe first any serious or genuine '\ndesire for peace. She rejected tbe proposals of our government. The safety\nof Korea was in danger and the lnter-\ni\nests of our empire were menaced. The\nguarantees for the future which wo\nfailed to secure by peaceful negotiations\ncan now only be obtained by an appeal\nto arms.\n\"It Is our earnest wish that by the\nloyalty and valor of our faithful subjects peace may soon bo permanently\nrestored and the glory of our empire\npreserved.\"\nOREAT BRITAIN ATTACKED.\nSaid to Have Played Into the Hands of\nJapanese.\nSt. Petersburg, Feb. 11.\u2014Repeating\nthe charge that Japan's attack on Port\nArthur was made from Wei-Hal-Wei, on\nthe northern coast of Shang Tung, the\nNovoe Vremya today Utterly assails\nOreat Britain for allowing Japan the use\nof the harbor as a basis of operations.\n{ Says tho Novoe Vremya: \"Great Britain\nJ has violated the fundamental principles\nof neutrality.

No\nmention la made In the dispatch of the\npresence ot the Korean emperor at the\nFrench legation, where he has been reported to have sought refuge, and therefore the authorities place no credit in\nthe report.\nRegarding the announcement that the\nRussian sailors from the Varlag and\nKorietz, sunk by tbe Japaneso off Chemulpo, had sought refuge on the French\ncrulBer Pascal, the foreign office says\nthe French commander offered them an\nthat no protest had been made by the\nasylum only In the Interest of humanity,\nJapanese government, and that tho\nrefugees will be sent to Russia.

G. Scott, manager of the Quebec\n& Lake St. John railway, a most crushing rebuke. Mr. Scott says:\n\"it is n mistake to speak in this way\nof the immense country between the\nSt. Lawrence and James bny aa belonging to tho province of Quebec. Recent\nsurveys and explorations hnve proved\nthat this great territory la rich in spruce\nforests, in agricultural soil, in water-\npowers and in minerals, and the records\nof the meteorological department prove\nthat it has a climate quite as good as\nthe lake St. Jchn valley, distinctly b-tter,\nthree degrees, to be precise, than that\nof the counties of the tower St. Lawrence\nbelow Quebec, and a snowfall about half\nthat of Montreal, and in all these\nrespects It Is infinitely superior to the\nbarren country traversed by the C. P. R.\nbetween lake Nipissing and Winnipeg.\nIts geographical position is such tbat the\nshortest possible line from tidewater of\nthe St. Lawrence to Winnipeg must pas3\nthrough tho centre of lt, and in doing\nso a line can be secured nearly 300 miles\nshorter than the C. P. R. These data\nbeing correct, there only remains tho\nQuestion of the suitability of the route\nIn point of grades and summltB, the\nobject being, I understand, to obtain a\nlower summit than the 2,000 feet which\ntraffic now has to ascend between Montreal and the Georgian bay, and easier\ngradients than the maximum of 52 feet\nper mile now used on the Canadian\nPacific and the Canada Atlantic.\n\"Experience proves tbat almost without exception railways seeking good\ngradients must follow the valleys of\nthe largest rivers. The Connecticut, the\nMerrlmac, the Hudson, the Mohawk, tht\nOhio, tbe St. Lawrence and the .Ottawa\nafford exumples of this. Consequently\n.a line from ocean navigation of the St.\nLawrence to Manitoba will have to\nfollow one of the three great rivers of\nthis province, namely, the Saguenny, the\nSt. Maurice, or\u2014as the C. P. R. has done\n\u2014the Ottawa. A line following the\nSagucnay or the St. Maurice will cross\nthe watershed between the St Lawrence\nand James bay at an elevation of only\n1,200 feet, and If it then keeps far\nenough north on the James bay slope,\nbeyond tho height of land and north of\nlake Abittihl, it will pass over an almost\nuniformly level country to Winnipeg,\nbecause the elevation of lake Winnipeg\nis about 700 feet. With such advantages in point of summit and uniform\nelevation thero should therefore be no\ndifficulty In securing the much sought\nmaximum grade of G-lOths of 1 por cent\nor 31 feet per mile; which will enable\ntwice the tonnage to be hauled that existing roads can handle, with the same\npower.\"\nThe bitter hostility displayed by some\nof the chief conservative newspapers to\nthe Grand Trunk Pacific project justifies the inference that they realize only\ntoo well the wise statesmanship that\nhas characterized every move In this\nconnection on the part of sir Wilfrid\nLaurler and his colleagues.\nEngineers of repute, irrespective of\ntheir political leanings, have endorsed\nevery feature of the contract. The entire\nsuitability of the route selected has been\nvouched for by men who can speak with\nauthority.\nThe project Is a great one. It means\nvery much to the whole of Canada, but\nmore particularly to the west. Sir Wilfrid Laurler has some grand achievements to his credit since he was entrusted with the administration of Canada's affairs, but if he can succeed in\ncarrying to a successful issue his plans\nfor another transcontinental railway he\nwill have earned the lasting gratitude\nof every citizen of Canada who places\ncountry before party and who is capable\nof rejoicing in her progress, no matter\nwhose hands guide the destinies of the\ncountry.\nDOING GOOD WORK\nThe Daily News Is Effectively Advertising the Resources of Kootenay.\nThe following is an extract from one\nof very many letters of similar purport\nreceived by The Daily News recently.\nThe writer of the letter quoted Ib one\nof the leading mining operators of the\ncity of Chicago:\nPlease have the kindness to forward to my address the issue of\nyour valuable paper of Sunday,\nJanuary 10th.

In the following article\nparticulars aro give of the progress\nmade In the reduction of coal and the\nextent of the coke making Industry.\nII.\nPROGRESS AND PRODUCTION \u2014\nAs tn some measure Indicative of the\nprogress made during the six years the\ncompany has been operating, the following figures, showing the tonnage of\ncoal and coke for each year sines the\nmines commenced to be productive, arc\ngiven. It will bo noteti that, for the\nsake of agreement with the figures trom\ntime to time published as having beon\ntaken from the company's annual reports, those appearing ln th* annual\nreports of the provincial mines department are not used. The output for six\nyears waa as under:\nYear Coal Coke\n1891 8,B8li 361\n1899 116,200 29,668\n1900 232,346 72,810\n1901 426,467 125,085\n1902 441,236 120,777\n1603 661,11a* 167,739\nreasonably have been foreseen or pro- j\nvlded against, the output of the mines, I\ninstead of being 2,500 tons per day, !\nwould have been at least 5,000 tons per\nday at the present time.\"\nMr. Rogers further remarked: \"At\nthe present time, apart from the labor\nsituation, the outlook is very encouraging. The mines have already shown an\noutput of over 2,000 tons per day, with\nNo. 2 mine not working. That mine\nshould be ready to be put in operation\nalmost immediately, and should give an\nIncreased output of 1,000 tons per day\nat onco. The general manager estimates that the averago output for the\nyear 1903 will be 4,000 tons per day.\nThiB means that by the end of the year\nthere should be an output pt 6,000 tons\nper day.\" That this estimate was too\nhigh the total production for the year\nhas demonstrated. Allowing for the loss\nin production occasioned by the mtnerB'\nstrike, which compelled a suspension of\noperations for seven weeks, from Feh-\niimry 10th to April 1st, and which,\nowing to flooding and other troubles\nconsequent upon the strike, seriously\nInterfered with operations ln some of\nthe mines for months after work was\nresumed, the figures recently given out\nas what would have been the output\nfor the year, calculated on the basis of\nthe actual output of the months during\nwhich production was maintained, fall\nconsiderably short of an average of 4,000\ntons per day, the respective totals being\n773,108 tons on the former baBls and\n1,440,000 tons on the latter. Yet, leaving out of account this over-sanguine\nestimate, ther* was in 1903 the very\nsubstantial Increase over the output of\n1902 of about B0 per cent in coal and\nnearly 39 per cent ln coke, as shown by\nthe following figures:\nOutput of coal during two years, In\ntons.\n1602. 1903.\nCoal creek mineB 267,429 242,673\nMichel mines 127,615 263,690\nMorrlssey mines 46,292 154,855\nTotal 1,885,342* 616,430\nOf the foregoing gross output of coal\nnearly 1,000,000 tons have been sold and\nthe remainder (leBs what has been used\nunder the boilers at the several collieries) made into coke.\nA comparison of the output for 1902\nwith that of 1901 does not suggest much\nadvance during the former year. As\na matter of fact little was made, but\nthe preventative causes were exceptional. Speaking at the annual meeting of shareholders held early in 1903\nthe then malnaglng director, Elias\nRogers, said, in part: \"The past year\nhas been one of those adverse years\nwhich sometimes occur ln the history\nof all mining companies. While I have\non more than one occasion pointed out\npossible difficulties and contingencies'\nwhich were liable to occur In connection with the company's operations,\nand have sometimes been rather reproved by my co-dlrectorB for entertaining\nsomewhat pessimistic views, I have\nnever at any time anticipated so many\nmisfortunes occurring one year as\nhavo been experienced during the year\n1902 by this company. Tho most serious\nof these were: 1st\u2014An outbreak of\nsmallpox at tho Coal creek mines. 2nd\n\u2014The deplorable accident on May 22nd\n(an explosion which caused the death\nof 130 of the company's employees and\nwrecked the greater part of Nos. 2 and\n3 mines). 3rd\u2014The loss by fire on June\n9th of all the miners' houses and boarding houses on Hie north side of the railway track nt Michel.. 4th\u2014Strikes ot\nminers at all three collieries. 5th\u2014Unexpected faults encountered ln No. 4\nmine, Michel, which cut oft nearly all\nthe working faces In that mine and in\nconsequence greatly reduced the output.\nAll of these have not only been a source\nof extra expense and direct loss, but\nhavo delayed the company's operations,\nand havo retarded the increase in the\noutput of coal to the extent of at least\n2,500 tons par day. In othor words, but\nfar tkeae mlsfortiuim. whisk could aat\nTotals 441,236 661,118\n'(Note.\u2014Tho coal exported lo 1903\namounted to 162,952 net tons. Of the\nremainder of the total production of\ntho year about 280,006 tons went to the\ncoke ovens and about 218,000 tons were\nsold ln Canada.)\nOutput of coke during two years, ln\ntons:\n1902. 1903.\nProduced at Pernie .... 87,909 94,441\nProduced at Michel .... 32,858 72,598\nProduced at Morrlssey 700\nTotals 120,777 167,739\nIt will be noted that the Coal creek\nmines had a smaller production of coal\nlast year than in 1902. Michel and Morrlssey, however, made such gains that\nthe net result for the year was an Increase In production of coal of 219,882\ntons. Of the increase 46,962 tons of\ncoke, nearly 40,000 tons have to be credited to the Michel ovens.\nThe producing capacity of the Beveral collieries at the time they were\nvisited recently was: Coal creek, 1.300\ntons; Michel, 1,600 tons, and Morrlssey,\n900 tons; total, 3,700 tons per day. A\nsteady Increase on this output is being\nmade right along.\nIn connection with the foregoing statistics it may be mentioned as bearing\nupon the question of production, that\nthere wero employed at the company's\nmines an average In 1902 of 984 men.\nand in 1903 of 1,460 men. About tho\nmiddle of last December tho number of\nmen on the company's payroll was as\nfollows:\nMiners. Oven men.\nCoal creek 487 117\nMichel 583 105\nMorrlssey 291 26\n1301 247\nMinors, as above 1,301\nOven men, as above 247\nMen on gen. construction work 250\nManagement, engineering, etc. , . 87\nTHE COKE INDUSTRY\nAdditional Information relativo to the\ncoke industry is as follows: The coke\novens are built of fire brick, with supporting walls and piers of stone masonry filled in with fire clay. They are\nof beehive shape, diameter 12 feet, and\nhave an \"eye-hole\" or circular opening\nat the top. They are built In double\nrows. Along the top of the battery^\nrunning over and between the ovens, a\nsingle railway track runs, and along\nthis the steel larry cars carrying the\nslack coal for charging the ovens are\nhauled by a light standard gauge steam\nlocomotive. The cars have a holding\ncapacity up to nine tons each, but the\nusual load carried is 6 1-2 tons (of 2,000\npounds), that being the ordinary charge\nfor each coke oven. They are side-\ndumping, discharging on either side as\nrequired. The production of coke per\ncharge is from 3.90 to 4.22 tons, this\nbeing at the rate of GO to 65 per cent of\nthe charge. The time of burning the\ncharge is 60 to 72 hours, which gives a\ndaily production per oven of 1.3 to 1.6\ntons. No provision is made to recover\nthe by products. The coke is cooled\nand the dirt washed off by hose watering inside the ovens, a process necessarily causing considerable loss of heat\nand also deterioration, through the consequent cooling of the Interior of the\novens, but the object of this method of\ntreatment Is to produce the best quality\nor coke practicable. Thus treated, the\ncoke contains less moisture on being\ndrawn from the ovens, the consumer\nthus benefitting. The coke Is long, lustrous and firm, containing up to 94 per\ncent fixed carbon, 4.50 per cent ash and\n0.76 per cent uslphur.\nThere are at the present time In\noperation 424 ovens at Fernlo, 420 at\nMichel and 140 at Morrlssey. Besides\nthese there are 144 under construction,\n44 at Michel and 100 at Morrlssey. These\nlatter will probably be completed within\ntwo or three mouths, when the position\nwill be as follows: At Fernle, 414; at\nMichel, 464, and at Morrlssey, 240. Total\n1,128 ovens. These ovens represent an\nexpenditure of nearly $1,000,000 in all.\nWith an average daily capacity of 1.5\ntons this will mean a possible production of 1,692 tons of coke per day, or\nallowing for 10 per cent not In use, requiring repairs, etc., say 1,000 ovens in\nconstant operation, equal to a daily production of 1,500 tonB of coke. Since the\nsmelters of Kootenay and Boundary\ndistricts do not now, nor are they likely\nto for a while, use half this quantity of\ncoke dally, lt is evident that there will\nremain a considerable tonnage available\nfor export to the ITi\"' ' ~\" '\u25a0\nproportion of total iraduotlei until\nin 1902 was only about -j t.e. ^... ...\nremainder having been sold for consumption in Canada.\nIn 1903 the total quantity exported\nwae 31,089 net tou, leaving available\nfor home consumption 136,050 tons, or\n374 tons for each and every day in the\ncalendar year. A considerably lar-'m\nexport tonnage may be looked for till\nyear, for not only Is the producing capu-\n\"Ity much enlarged, hut the Great\nNorthern railway now has direct connection with the Morrlssey ovens, which\nwill shortly have a maximum capacity\nof 120.000 to 130,000 tons a year It the\novens be operated at full capacity, all\nof which will be available for export,\nbesides a part of the production of the\ncoal company's ovens at Fernle and\nMichel.\nAs to tho cost of coke\u2014the following\nstatements are .quoted. William Blakemore, M. fi., who was identified tn the\ncapacity of manager, with the Crow's\nNest Coal company during the earlier\ndevelopment operations at its Coal creek\ncolliery, and has ever since kept ln\ntouch with the coal mining industry\nhere, is authority for these assertions:\n\"At the moment the charge for coal is\n$2, and for coke 14 at the ovens (Fernle).\nEffective competition would reduce these\nfigures to $1.50 and $3 at the ovens, and\npossibly a little lower. The actual cost\nof shipping one ton of coal need net\nexceed $1, and will almost certainly be\nless after allowing for every Item of I\ncharge. This would give coke at a coat I\nof $2.25 to $2.60 and would leave al\nmargin of 50 cents profit on coal and]\n75 cents, on coke, which Is at least]\ndouble the average rate of profit on coal I\nand coke ln the eastern states or in I\nEngland over the last 20 years.\"!\nAgainst this opinion must be placed the I\nfollowing from the address of Ellas I\nRogers, managing director, at the meet-1\ning of shareholders in the Crow's Nestl\nPass Coal company last year: \"I I\nmight mention that there has been no!\nprofit on the coke operations of the!\ncompany, taken as a whole, during the!\nlast year, after charging the coal to the!\novens at Its proper value. ThiB Is dueT\npartly to the. disadvantageous condl-j\ntlons under which the company hai\nbeen working, but more especially to I\nreduction of 50 cents (to $4) pu, tool\nIn the price of coke, which took effect\nJanuary let, 1902. This reduction wal\nmade by the direction of the board\nowing to strong representations on tha\npart of the smelting companies ln Bnl\ntish Columbia, that their very evlstencJ\ndepended on their obtaining coke at re|\nduced cost. The price of coke from tha\nFernie ovens was advanced 25 centT\nper ton on September 1st, the cost ol\nfreight on the coal to the ovens at thaf\npoint being about 24 cents per tod\nwhich charge is not Incurred at Michel\nThis reduction from the price charge]\nthe previous year made a difference \u00a3\nauout $60,000 in the company's proflq\nfor 1902. I would like lt to be clesrll\nunderstood that this reduction was ml\nmade ln \"onseqnence of competltloT\nfrom any other source, On the central\nthe company could have marketed l]\nentire product at an averago incrosf\nIn price of trom $1 to $1.50 pot t'J\nThe price of coke which has prevail!\nIn the United States for the past elgf\nmonths has prohably averaged at lea\n$2 per ton more than ln the prevlol\nyear. In other words, the compel\ncould have realized approximately $ltf\n000 more for Its coke product fn m\nyear 1902 than It did, but it wns th. uif\nbetter to a\u00abn\u00bb. the smelting hdu'trl\nof British Columbia In the crls'B ti.r ul\nwhich they were passing, by keeplf\nprices down with the view to promota\nthe general expansion ot business ln I\nwest and obtaining permanent resul\nrather than seeking to take advent\/\nof temporary conditions to enhance p]\nsent profits.\"\n(Ta ba Continued.)\n0!\nNelson Opera\nFRIDAY AND\nSATURDAY\nFeb. 12th_and 13t\nJust Two Nights]\n\"Top will laugh till the tears rl\ndown your cheeks.\"\u2014N.

Mr,\nNeelands was asked to accept from his\nfriends the gift of a sterling silver tea\nservice as a remembrance of the years\nspent by him in this city.\nThe guest of the evening made a feeling response, thanking all present for\nthe honor done him and for the many\nkindnesses extended in the past, and expressing the deep regret he experienced\nat leaving the city.\nOne after another, those present,\nunder the different toasts proposed, all\ntestified to Mr. Neelands' excellent\nstanding in the community and voiced\nthe general regret at his departure, and\nat midnight tho gathering broke up -with\na handshake all round for the departing\nguest.\nH. Q. Norlands, the recipient of the present, ia one of tho most popular pioneers\nof Nelson, as ho arrived here from Vancouver in 1S9I. Immediately after his advent In the then smnll city of Nelson ho\nembarked in tho.picture nnd photograph\nbusiness, locating on the north side of Baker street near Ward. At this point he\npurchased lots which had a frontage of\n100 feet on Baker street on which ho\nerected business structures. Soon he had\na thriving business, which after lt had\nbeen built up he intrusted to th bather\nJames in order lo devote most i.f his time\nto mining ventures. The latter business\ngrew bo that In 1895 ho sold out the picture business to F. G. Painton. In the\nmeanwhile, early after his arrival ln Nelson\nhe purchase the Athabasca mineral claJ(\nand staked four nbjolnlng* mineral claims.\nThe showing of are was large and ho sold\nthe group to Arthur Band for $40,000 and\n100,000 shares In a company to be formed\nto operate lt. Mr, Band at first formed\na local company and then he went to England nnd Interested British capital so that\na British company, called the Athabasca\nGold Mines, Limited, with ft capital of\n\u00a3200,000 ln \u00a31 shares was formed to take\nlt over. Mr. Neelands always had great\nfaith in the property nnd on several occasions when tho local company, which first\npurchased It, was unable to meet the payments, ho granted extensions, and this liberal policy enabled the company to Anally\nsell the property to the British companv.\nIn 18M-7 Mr. Neelnnds acquired the\nBlack Prince, In the Lardeau, tho Mayflower, in the Rossland camp, and other\nclaims which ho disposed of to considerable advantage. Mr, Noelands was always\nlucky In his mining ventures when ho\nbought on his own judgment, but lost\nsome money In putting it Into the enter-\njriHos of his friends.\nWithin the past few weeks ho has sold\nhis property on Baker street for $20,000\nand has also disposed of his mining and\nother property. In short he has sold ah\nof ills belongings but his home and intendi\nto leave for Alberta on Monday next. He\nhaa purchased 1,000 acres of land near Wo*\ntawskiti, Alberta. It Is a stock ranch and\nhas 150 head of cattle, a number of blooded horses and some large plats which ar*\nunder cultivation for hay. It is a pleasant country to live In, but still Mr. Neelands regrets having to leave Nelson,\nwhere he has so many friends and whero\nho spent so many pleasant and profitable years. Mrs. Neelands and their two\nsons will not leave Nelson for the Alberta\nranch until April.\nMr. Neelands 1ms always been an ardent\npolitician and a strong conservative.

Evans at McLeod's hotel on January\n21st\nR. W. Hannington prosecuted on behalf of the crown. The prisoner was\nundefended. Evans Identified his watch\nbut could give no idea of how the\nprisoner got hold of lt. He and the prisoner were rooming together at McLeod's\nbut there was a good deal of drinking\ngoing on and the witness' recollection\nof what happened on the night of the\nalleged theft was decidedly uncertain.\nArchie Macdougall, bartender at McLeod's, testified that the prisoner\nwanted to raise- some money on the\n\"ticker\" and that he gave him |5 In\ncash and set up the drinks for the house\ntwice, making a total of JG.60. The\nPrisoner gave up the watch, but said\nhe was working and would redeem it.\nRyan was sworn ln his own behalf\nand at once admitted pawning the watch\nand said that he and Evans had been\nhaving a social time together for some\ndays, and their money having all gone\nhe suggested going to bed. Evans pulled\nout his watch to see the time, and\nJerry suggested that the ticker would\nbe good for more booze. Evans handed\nhim the watch and he raised the money\nas described by the bartender. Evans\nwent to Bleep and he, Ryan, spent somo\nof the |5 for more drink then and the\nbalance next morning.\nRecalled by the crown, Evans would\nSpecial Offering\n5000 AMERICAN BOY 2\"4\nfiOOO FISHER MABHpN 2%\n2000 WATERLOO 6\nM'DERMID & M'HARDY\nBROKERS, NELSON, B.C.\nnot deny the truth of tho prisoner's\nstory.
