H. Watson to Transfer\nWorkings to Third Avenue Where\nNeeded-Can City Compel Bank.\n-Notice of Motion Comes Tonight.\nTim question of the grading of Second\natauein the outlying district while the\nagisted part of Third avenue remains,\nuntouched is still troubling Aid.  Mc-\nInytre.\n\"I had hoped that Aid. Lynch would\nhave been here tonight,\" he said, \"as\nle takes a special interest in the matter\nof the Local Improvement Bylaw, and\nance he is not present I cannot speak\nalong the lines I had intended to. In\nview of this money difficulty that has\narisen, and the matter of the holding\nback of tenders for the rest of Section\nOne, if it was correct in the face of this\nsituation that these tenders should not\nbe called for, then the present work\ngoing on, on Second 'avenue is illegal.\nOf course Second avenue could carry out\nits own improvements, but in view of\nthe fact that the whole grading of\nSection One is calculated to cost $400,000\nof which $160,000 is appropriated to\nSecond avenue it is evident that the\npeople in other parts of Section One\nare now contributing a share in the cost\nof the work on Second avenue. This is\ncontrary to the Local Improvement\nBylaw which says that only \"property\nimmediately benefited by or abutting\non\" the improved portions shall bear a\nproportion of the cost as distinct from\nremote property. This being the case I\nwould suggest that the work on Second\navenue be stopped where not absolutely\nnecessary and carried on only where it\nis likely to be of immediate usefulness\nto the city, that is between McBride and\nEighth streets.\"\nAid. Mclntyre went on to point out\nthat there was a section of Third avenue\nwhich had only a narrow plankway,\nand that at this point the building operations of Mr. Hyde of Spokane, were\nbeing delayed. He understood that S.\n\"\u2022 Watson, the contractor, engaged on\nthe remote portion of Second avenue\n' a st0I>e crusher lying idle at this\nPoint and would be agreeable to transfer\n\u00ab\u00bb work to this place.

He denies the story that the\nking is at Masfra rallying royal troops.\nHe distinctly states that there are no\nroyal troops, but that all have sworn\ntheir allegiance to the new government.\nThe minister states that King Manuel's\nescape was a part of the plan of the\nrevolutionists, who by formal vote\npassed a resolution that he be permitted\nto flee from the country. He adds that\nthe provisional government is showing\ngreat strength in repressing disorders\nand punishing looters, and that it is\nmaking a splendid impression in the\ncapital city and the immediate neighborhood.\nManuel Fled in Disguise\nLondon, Oct. 6.\u2014A.

The\nrepublicans here state that in the event\nof such being the case, civil war in Spain\nmust inevitably follow.'\nThe Republican club of this city,\nwhich celebrated the victory achieved\nby the Republicans of Portugal, was\nraided by the police last night and the\nriot following was sternly suppressed by\nthe calling in of troops to assist the\npolice.\nRepublican* Fighting\nBarcelona, Oct. 6.\u2014There were constant clashes here today between the\nRepublicans and the military.

T. P. offices here, is well satisfied with\nthe progress of the line at present. The\nsteel is at Mile 87, and before long will\nbe at Kitselas 103 miles from Prince\nRupert. Ballasting of the track has\nbeen in progress for some days and the\ncompany is advertising for sixty men for\nthis work. There is some good ballast\nabout Mile 65, and more work will be\ndoing at ballasting when the big ballast\npits at Mile 95 are reached.\nBut there won't be any passenger\nservice of trains out to Kitselas for\nsome time yet General Superintendent\nMehan stated. To run passenger trains\non the skeleton track is not advisable,\nand the ballasting will not be completed\nfor a little while yet.\nThe little bit of grading which is to\nbe completed between the new Kelly\nDouglas warehouse and the G. T. P.\noffices and the main yards is being\nrapidly finished now that the offices\nhave been moved forward the few feet\nnecessary to give th; grade room to\ncome through.\nAccident of Brother of Joe McGrath\nat Essington Yeaterday\u2014He I* in\nHospital and Pro greasing Favorably.\nBIG DEAL MADE\nBY HELGERSON\nHUNDRED AND EIGHTEEN ACRES\nAT PORT MANN\nG. T. P. Annex Will Go\nThe question of the removal of the\nG. T. P. Inn Annex which is partly on\nthe line of Second Avenue has been\nbefore the city since S. P. MeMordie\nstarted work on his grading contract,\nand yesterday General Superintendent\nMehan informed Mayor Stork that Mr.\nChamberlain had given him instructions\nto proceed with the removal of the\nannex to enable the street grading to\nprogress.\nJoe McGrath's brother who broke his\njawbone yesterday morning at Essington,\nwas taken in a row boat to the G. T. P.\nhospital from the steamer Port Simpson\nat night, and is in a fair way to have his\nhurt healed.\nThe accident happened to him while\nhe was at work stone-cutting in the\nquarry at Essington. He slipped and\nfell head first down the rock face narrowly escaping injury to the skull. As\nit is, his hurt ia s painful one and serious\nenough. He was attended at Essington\nby Dr. McPhee, and taken in the steamer\nPort Simpson to Prince Rupert where\nCaptain Jackman endeavored to arrange\nfor his being conveyed to the hospital.\nThere was some delay over this, but S. A.\nEnsign Johnstone rustled round for the\nnecessary permit and after having been\nseen by Dr. Tremayne and Dr. Eggert\nMcGrath was removed to the hospital.\nInvestment of About Hundred and\nTwenty-five Thousand Bound to\nClear Fifty Thousand by Close\nof the  Present Year.\nLadle*' Hoapital Auxiliary\nThe Ladies of the Prince Rupert\nGeneral Hospital Board Auxiliary met\nyesterday afternoon and preliminary\narrangements were discussed for the\nforthcoming Hospital Dance.\ni     DYNAMITED TREADWELL    i\nSpecial to the Optimist\nJuneau, Oct. 6.\u2014An attempt\nwas made to blow up the Treadwell ditch with dynamite last\nnignt. Special deputies were\nsworn in and twenty men have\nbuen arrested on suspicion of\ncomplicity in the plot.\nO. M. Helgerson of Prince Rupert has\njust turned another big real estate deal.\nThis time he is the buyer and it is Port\nMann property. Mr. Helgerson has\nbeen looking for an active, market and\nthis week purchased a block of 118 acres\nof what is known as the Paterson ranch.\nThis is adjoining Mackenzie and Mann's\ntownsite of Port Mann, just opposite\nNew Westminster.\nThe price has not yet been made\npublic but it is understood to be in the\nneighborhood of $125,000. It is the\nbiggest deal in Port Mann property yet\nmade and real estate men in Vancouver\nanticipate that Mr. Helgerson can clean\nup at least $60,000 by the end of the\npresent year.\nThe property Mr. Helgerson purchased lies just beyond the block held\nby the Prince Rupert syndicate.\nThe navigation of the Skeena was the\nall-absorbing topic of discussion along\nthe water-front during the day, and the\nusually placid temper of Captain Jack-\nman, of the Port Simpson, was becoming\nruffled more than once. His boat was\nthere and why could he not take on\ntheir freight. They had only two hundred pounds, or eleven hundred pounds,\nor whatever the individual quantity\nmight be. He might screw that into a\ncorner. The Captain said over and over\nagain to these applicants:\n\"I start out tomorrow morning at\neight o'clock with eighty tons, which is\na big load considering the stage of the\nwater and the further fact that I have a\nlarge crowd of passengers. I cannot\ntake a pound more. Most of this eighty\ntons is taken up with the office outfit\nof the engineering corps, contracted for\nsome time ago.\n\"I cannot tell, and nobody else can\ntell, whether I shall be able to make\nanother trip or not. I am hoping that\nI will, but I am not going to enter anto\nany contracts with regard to it. I may\nbe able to make two trips, though I\nhardly think so.\"\nMr. McMaster said notices had been\nsent out that no more freight for the\nSkeena river would be accepted after\nOctober first. In the past two years\nnavigation on the Skeena had closed on\nNovember third of fourth, and in all\nprobability the same conditions would\nprevail this season. Even under those\nfavorable circumstances there would be\nabout four hundred tons left in the\nwarehouses, because, although the steamers might be able to make a few more\ntrips, they could take only light loads.\nEXTENDING THE WHARF\nWill   Do   Something   to   Lessen   the\nConstantly Recurring Conjestion\nTwo Prisoner* From Hazelton\nProvincial Chief Constable Wynn received notification by wire today that\ntwo prisoners charged with theft are\ncoming down from Hazelton. The\nprisoners' names were not stated. They\nare proceeding to Westminster.\nBack to the Post of Duty\nAid. Naden returned to his place at\nthe city council board last night and was\ngreeted with a storm of aldermanic\ncheers and cries of \"Speech! Speech!\"\nHe smiled and returned the greetings of\nhis fellow aldermen, but did not contribute any oratory either then 6r during\nthe rest of the meeting, but enthusiastically reponded to the movement to\nadjourn.\nThe big pile driver has been moved to\nthe edge of the water at the foot of\nCentre street, and is to be engaged for\nsome time making an extension of the\nwharf from that point north. From the\npresent position of the pile driver the\nwharf is to run out at an angle to near\nthe Davis boathouse. The company has\nonly one hundred and fifty leet of dock\navailable at present in this part, and the\nextension will increase this to three\nhundred and twenty feet. So that\ninstead of one section of five hundred and\nseventy feet, the company will have two\nsections, the new one of three hundred\nand twenty feet and the old one of about\nfour hundred.\nThe work will employ about fifteen\nmen for the next three or four months.\nThe dock is also to be repaired under the\npresent warehouses. The latter, it is\nbelieved, will afford sufficient accommodation for the winter months, and next\nspring there are to be additions and\nch\nCondemned Dunedin Block\nCith Solicitor Williams communicated\nwith the City Council last night stating\nthat before the occupiers of the condemned Dunedin Block can be required\nto quit the premises formal notice must\nbe served upon them.

He unslung his pack, made\na rope of his blankets and tried to lower it down to the man on the ice, but\nwas unsuccessful. He stood on the\ntrail and shouted for aid which finally\ncame in the shape of several other\nhurrying gold seekers. By dint of the\nhardest kind of work and engineering,\npicking footholds in the ice, Featherly\nwas got back to the surface once more.\nThen began about as hard a \"mushing\" trip as this country has seen in\nmany a day. Two men started for\nStewart, a twenty-one mile hike, the\nmost of it over one of the worst ice\ntrails hereabouts. Arriving in camp\nthey spread the news and a party of\nrescuers to pack the injured man to\nthe Stewart hospital was despatched at\nonce, carrying a light cot. In the meantime Featherly was made as comfortable as possible under the circumstances, but suffered gerat pain. All\nthought of the placer strike was forgotten by the prospectors and they remained by Featherly's side until the\nrescue party arrived.\nThe\" trip with the injured man back\nto Stewart was made with great difficulty. It was a straight pack of\nfourteen miles over a regular goat trail\nbefore the wagon road to Bitter Creek\nwas reached. Here the wagon awaited\nthe party and the rest of the trip was\nmade in fast time.\nDREDGE FOR NARROWS\nSir Wilfrid's Visit Already Beginning\nTo Bear Fruit\nThat Sir Wilfrid Layrier's visit to\nVancouver was not without benefits,\nobserves the Vancouver Province, is\nshown by the news from Ottawa received today that an order-in-council\nhad been passed awarding to the Si-\nmonds Shipbuilding company of Glasgow a contract for a deep-water dredge\nto be used to improve the First Narrows.\nThe dredge is to cost $210,000. The\nannouncement will be hailed with satisfaction by those who have fought for\nsome government help for this port. *\nFor years the needs of Vancouver\nwere ignored but Sir Wilfrid was evidently impressed by the good work |of\nthe Vancouver boosters who attended\nhim while he was here. The dredging\nof the north shore and removing the\nParthia shcal and the Burnaby shoal\nwould make navigation much safer and\nlower the velocity of the tides.\nOil  Companies at War\nTokyo, Oct. 3.\u2014The Standard Oil\ncompany and the Asiatic Petroleum\nCompany, Limited, have cancelled the\nagreement which they had, thus ending\nthe oil combination between Japanese\nand foreign companies.

To him was entrusted\nthe task of reporting in detail on the\nYukon district after the discovery of\ngold in the Klondike.\n\"There is a very large area of mineralization in the Portland Canal district, but it is yet a little premature\nto pass any final   opinion  respecting\nSEALED TENDERS addressed to the under-\n\" signal, and endorsed \"Tender for ExamininK\nWuetase, Vancouver, B.

Owners\nof claims have been mostly occupied\nduring the past season in cutting roads\nand trails, prospecting the surface\nand getting in supplies for this winter's\noperations. This preliminary work in\na new region is inevitable.\n\"I visited various camps and saw\nsome very promising prospects. Conditions in the Salmon River district\nfarther inland are much tha same as\nin the Portland Canal country. At\nSalmon River I also saw a number of\ngood showings but no ore body has\nyet been outlined or proven up. The\nvalues are principally in gold, silver\nand lead. I was also shown some fine\nspecimens of gold ore which according to report had been found this season across the divide in the Naas River\ndistrict.\n\"It was unfortunate that sensational\nand untruthful reports about the discovery of rich free milling gold ores\non Bitter Creek were sent broadcast\nlast June. Such practices should be\nseverely condemned as they tend to\ninjure the real merits of the country.\nAs a matter of fact the existence of\nfree |milling ore on Bitter Creek has\nnot yet been established. It is true\nthat specimens of free |gold in samll\nquantities were found in one or two\nspots. And the same exaggeration applies to the so-called placers on Bitter Creek which has been staked from\nend to end. If the gold is there nobody has yet tried to get it out,\" added\nMr. McConneU with a significant smile.\nQUICKSTEP OF PROGRESS\nNew York Stock and Chicago Grain\nQuotations Now Furnished By\nLocal Brokerage House.\nPrince Rupert has now assumed a\ntruly metropolitan air.

Portland\nBRANCH LINE\nTO VANCOUVER\nPROBABLE    ROUTE   OF    GRAND\n'     TRUNK PACIFIC\nFrom Fort George Down the Fraier\nRiver Valley and by Way of Harrison Lake to Agassiz\u2014Via Bonaparte\ntoo Expensive.\nIt has been learned, says the Victoria\nColonist, that the branch of the Grand\nTrunk Pacific Railway which it is proposed to build from Fort George to this\ncity will run down through the Lillooet\ndistrict and strike the Canadian Pacific\nRailway near Agassiz station. Owing\nto the heavy rock work and the large\ncost necessary in construction, the trial\nlines run during the season from Lillooet\nto the Fraser to Lytton, where the Fraser\nRiver is joined by the Thompson, are\nnot considered satisfactory.\nAn engineering party in charge of W.\nI. Bassett, who was formerly connected\nwith the V. V. and E. Railway, is now\nworking north from Agassiz via Harrison River, Harrison Lake and the Lillooet River. Its objective is Lillooet. It\nis claimed that a route with very low\ngrades can be secured all the way from\nLillooet on the Fraser, to Agassiz,\nwhence the line will parallel the Canadian Pacific into Vancouver.\nThere is of course the alternative that\nthe line might be built in North Vancouver. This would involve the bridging of\nthe north arm of the Burrard Inlet or the\nutilization of the bridge across the\nsecond narrows.\nThe route from a point on the Lillooet\nRiver, which empties into Harrison Lake\nto Lillooet is described as an excellent\none, with very low grades. It trends\nnortheasterly via Duffey Lake and Cay-\nuse River through a very fine mining\nand agricultural district.\nMr. Bassett's party has been in the\nfield three weeks, and according to advices leceived here very satisfactory\nprogress is being made. Mr. Bassett has\nhad a great deal of experience in locating lines for the Great Northern system\nin the United States. For several years\nhe served on the staff of Willaim Kennedy, chief engineer of the V. V. and E.\nRy., in locating the line through the\nBoundary district. Last season he had\ncharge of a C. P. R. survey party in\nseeking a route across the Hope mountains.\nFrom Lillooet the branch line of the\nG. T. P. is likely to extend along the\nFraser all the way to Fort George, most\nof that portion of the route having been\nrun over this summer by two of its survey parties. It was originally intended\nto seek a shorter route to Vancouver by\nbuilding south from Tete Jaune Cache.\nThis summer a Grand Trunk Pacific outfit \"hooked up\" with a previous survey\nmade between the Cache and the-junction of the Clearwater and North Thompson Rivers. The route from the last\nmentioned point was via Bonaparte Lake,\nBonaparte River and thence across country to Clinton, a point on the Fraser\nabove Lillooet. The whole region was\nfound to be very rough and the building of the line involved serious and costly engineering problems. In view of\nthese circumstances the line will most\nlikely start at Fort George and run due\nsouth to Lillooet, thence across to the\nLillooet River, Harrison Lake and striking the Fraser once more at Agassiz.\nLAND PURCHASE NOTICE\nSkeena Land DiBtrict\u2014District ol Queen Charlotte\nIslanda\nTake notice that John W.

This may be laudable, theoretically,, for the boys like to admire a\nbrave spirit\u2014but is it good business? Undoubtedly the Mayor and Aldermen\nrealize that a credit accepted and cancelled by the Bank of Montreal will not be\ntouched by any other monetary institution in the country. A bold front in time\nof adversity is half the battle but unless the council are basing their courage on\nsomething besides the hope of talking over the Bank of Montreal then they are\ndeceiving themselves as well as the public.\nIn response to the request o the bank for a statement the council has sent a\ncommunication explaining the city's financial position and the plans of the city\ncouncil. Should not the property holders, who are really the persons vitally interested, know the contents of that letter? The city council has already made one\nfailure of the financing, and the property owners who pay the shot were not taken\ninto their confidence. Before any more bungles are made the public should know\nhow the council plan to raise the money and what they propose doing with it\nafterwards.\nThere may be times when certain civic business should be quietly negotiated\nbut the present situation is one which calls for publicity. There is nothing to be\ngained by secrecy.\nThe Victoria Colonist is authority for the statement that as a result of the\nvisit ff the Queen's Own Rifles of Toronto, to England, a large number of English\naldermen are going to visit Canada. It is to be hoped they will extend their visit\nto the aldermen of Prince Rupert, so that they may learn how to raise a million\non wind and forget there is a string to it.\nThe city council having shown their inability to handle the question of finances\nwhy not turn it over to the Citizens' Committee.

D. McDonald, and R. S. Sargent,\nleading merchants of Hazelton and interior points, cajne up on the Port Simpson yesterday to see what could be done\ntoward getting in their winter supplies.\nMr. Boyd, manager of the Hudson's Bay\npost at Hazelton, is also here, and with\nthem and individual mining operators\nand others Captain Jackman had a\nwarm time of it last evening. The\nGrand Trunk Pacific company and the\nFoley, Welch & Stewart people wree also\nafter the captain, offering inducements\nfor the carriage of a few tons.\nCaptain Jackman says this may be\nthe last trip of the Port Simpson this\nseason, though he does expect to make\none more after this. The river was very\nlow now, and he expected ice to be\nrunning on this trip. There may, however, be a change in the weather which\nwould permit of two or three trips being\nmade after this.\nEven then, and with the aid of the\nrailwa*\/ and other boats, it is evident\nthat only a small part of the river\nconsignments which stack the warehouses\nto the rafters can be moved this seasom.\nThe merchants mentioned are feeling\nvery gloomy over the situation, being\nafraid there is not enough supplies in\nthe district to carry the people through\nto sleighing time. Freighting with dogs\nand horses from the end of the railway\nsteel is in their opinion likely to be brisk\nall winter through. Much mining\nmaterial has been taken in recently but\nthe question for mining operators, as\nwell as the railway contractors, is now\none of supplies for the men.\nSale of Home Made Cooking\nThe ladies of the Presbyterian church\nwill have a sale of home cooking at the\nchurch Friday afternoon and evening,\nOctober 8. 3t\nI ,\t\nSuits\n\u2022 \u2022 \u2022 \u2022 o \u2022\nIf you want a Suit\nsomewhat better than\nthe ordinary, in both\nstyle, quality and excellence of tailoring,\nsee our new arrivals.

He thought\nthat even if it were decided to call off\nthe work on S. H. Watson's contract on\nSecond avenue in favor of work being\nstarted on Third avenue they might find\nthemselves where they.were before quite\nsoon and able to go ahead all over\nSection One.\nAid. Hilditch expressed himself still\na favor of the motion, and Aid. Mclntyre explained that his idea was that\nIf the delay over the financial trouble'\n*ere long and the Second avenue contracts were illegal as at present, then by\nstopping unnecessary work and taking\nup work where it seemed very necessary\non Third avenue, they would in a measure\nwolMe those Third avenue residents\nWo might be inclined to kick.\nAid. Pattullo did not see where Aid.\nWmyre's idea of illegality in the\n\u00abrtai in progress came in at all. It was\not absolutely necessary that all avenues\n\"Senion One be graded at the same\n\u25a0\u00bb He thought that a little patience\nfflth.s case was very much a virtue.\n\u00ab\u2022 Mclntyre:  \"I am quite patient\nIT ma\"er' b\u00abt I can see how this\n2j\" be \"fcky* and delayed until\n^avenue is all graded before Third\navenue is even begun.\"\nk\u00abJsaiaIhIntyru8aid that Ald' **\u00ab\u00bb\"<>\nthat   w TtU at lMt counc\u00bb meeting\ninsthauU\"\u00b0 \"T1 tat\u00ab\u00ab>Pted .xplain-\n\"STto rTf 1 the actual ,a<* \u00b0f\nJmip ,orth\u00ab \u2122rk that he had\n'he matilClntyre continuto|5 said that\nh\u00abid \u201er8Veryplaint\u00b0him, and\n^ oidUnndrtand h0W the other\nT\u00bbeMavor   0t8eeita\"hesawit.\n10 hold trTple,\" need be for the city\nil\u00abapeeLlttnk0f Montreal down to\n\u00ab\u00b0'i8hto Tdin8the'oan,andto\nAnders \u201e\u201e,, &nd ca\" 'or Section One\nand \u00ab>mpel the bank to come\nthrough. He did not think this at all\nan advisable policy, as it might involve\nthe city in a law suit, but still he believed the position was in the city's\nfavor as stated.\nAid. Barrow rising said: \"You have\nhere a resident on Third avenue who is\nnot going to kick until he is certain that\nthe money for improvements is really\nnot forthcoming.\" He thought it strange\nthat the uselessness of the work on the\nparticular portion of Second avenue in\nquestion had not been discovered before.\nAid. Hilditch explained that the\nposition was altered by the bank's\nattitude. If the whole of Section One\nhad been going on the work on Second\navenue was not so unnecessary. But\nnow there was a likelihood of their being\nhung up for money for ninety days and\nthis council might be our of office before\nthe money was in hand. He supported\nAid. Mclntyre because of this.\nAid Mobley doubted whether the\ncontract on Second avenue could be\nlegally transferred. The bank had said\nthat they would furnish funds to carry\non contracts already under way. But if\nthey endeavored to stop an existing\ncontract in favor of a new one the bank\nmight cut off the money for that contract.\nAid. Mobley thought the present discussion a fair sample of what they would\nget if the work were being done by\nGeneral Fund. Everybody would be\nthinking the next man was|getting more\nfavored. Of course the bank might be\nwilling to arrange for the changing of\nthe contract. He thought the city was\nquite within the bounds of legality in\ntheir present contracts under way, and\nwould be so for six months to come.\nAid. Barrow requested the Mayor to\nask Aid. Mclntyre whether he thought\nthey were illegal in starting Second\navenue before Third in the first instance.\nAid. Mclntyre replied to the effect\nthat he did not think so. He had\nacquiesced with the others in making\nSection One a single Local Improvement\narea, though with others he felt now\nthat it was rather a large area. This\nmotion was simply the outcome of the\npresent financial situation. He hoped\nhe had not given any impression that he\nthought all the avenues in Section One\nshould be graded at the same time. Still\nhe maintained that the fact that differences wree reported to exist between\nthe G. T. P. and the council showed that\nsome little difference really did exist,\nand agreed with Aid. Hilditch that it\nmight not be in the life time of this\ncouncil that the funds for improvement\nwere finally made certain of.\nThe Mayor then formally asked Aid.\nMclntyre to give notice of motion which\nhe did, and the matter will come up\nagain at tonight's council meeting.\nBIG WHOLESALE\nLIQUOR HOUSE\nCLARKE_BRQS.

Stanwood, (\"Doc\") is in town\nand is highly enthusiastic over the\nnew discovery he has recently made. Mr.\nStanwood is a copper prospector and is\nknown to have some of the best copper\nprospects on the Copper river. Smelter\npeople have recently begun to make\nenquiries along the Skeena, and what a\nsmelter will be particularly in need of is\nfluxing material. To discover this Mr.\nStanwood has been raking the adjacent\ncountry \"with a fine-toothed comb,\" and\nhis long search has at length been\nrewarded with success.\nThe discovery is of bog iron, which\nupon assaying shows absolutely no\nphosphorus, and fulfills all the other\nrequirements of a good fluxer. It is\nsaid to be the same identical ore that\nis now being shipped from China to the\nPacific coast for fluxing purposes.\nMr. Stanwood has staked seven claims\non this large deposit of iron, but is\nloath to publish its exact locality until\nthe locations are completed for fear of\nstarting a stampede. He says it is found\non tidewater and therefore easy of shipment, and in close proximity to the best\nmineralized district of the Skeena. The\nore, he says, lies in such shape that it\ncan be handily quarried and as soon as\nhe can make the necessary arrangements\nhe hopes to start shipping it to the Coast\nsmelters, where there is little doubt\nthat it will find a good market.\nS.

The piles have been\ndriven, and the sidewalk laid, and the\nbuilding will shortly take shape. The\nliving quarters for the staff will be\nfinished first. They are expected to be\nready by the middle of November, and\nthe hall will be completed by the first\nof December.\nEnsign Johnstone and Captain Ken-\nare going to Vancouver to attend the\nSalvation Army councils at the end of\nthis month. When the citadel is complete\nthere will be an important opening ceremony at which several S. A. notables\nfrom the South will be present.\nAn Elocutionary Test\nCity Clerk Woods had plenty of lung,\nthroat and voice exercises at the opening\nof last night's city council meeting as\nthe minutes of no fewer than three previous council meetings fell to be read.\nThe three sets of minutes were approved\nand adopted without amendment.\nCost of Two Fatalities\nA copy of the verdict returned by the\njury at the injuest on Charles Daley who\nwas killed by falling from a plankway\nnear Eighth street was submitted to the\ncity council last night by Coroner McMullin, also a note of medical and other\nexpenses in connection with the recent\nfatalities amounting to twenty-five dollars payable to Dr. Tremayne who attended these cases and gave evidence\nupon them.\nLiquor Dealers Association\nThe ^wholesale liqour dealers of the\ncity met Tuesday evening and formed an\nassociation for mutual interests, -Among\nthe decisions made was an agreement to\nclose all wholesale houses at 7 p.m. The\nofficers are H.

Judgment was reserved.\nMr. W. M. Griffin, who appeared\nfor the defendant company, said that\nan agreement had been entered into\nto sell mines on Moresby Island to\nMr. S. J. Castleman for $200,000, and\nthat plaintiff in this case, who was engineering the deal, was to be paid a\ncommission of ten per cent. Counsel\nclaimed that this agreement provided\ntha commission was to be paid only\nas payments were made on the property. In pursuance of this, when the\nfirst and only payment of $8000 was\nmade, Mr. Beveridge received $800.\nOn date of August 31, 1910, a new\nagreement was made, the terms of\nthe former one not having been adhered to. Under the new instrument\na new company was formed to take\nover the property at the original price\nof $200,000. The former payment of\n$8000 was credited, $30,000 was paid\nin notes, and the balance in shares.\nMr. Griffin contended that under\nthe terms of the commission agreement with Mr. Beveridge commission\nwas to be paid only as payment on\nthe property was made. He said thai\ndefendant had no claim for the total\namount claimed, $19,250, but that it\nwas a debatable point whether or not\nhe were entitled to commission on\nthe $30,000 notes. He was willing to\nallow the court to retain $3000 to\ncover this amount until the merits of\nthe case had been heard, but he thought\nit unreasonable that the entire amount\nin question should be tied up, representing as it did practically the entire\namount the company had in the bank.\nHe said that his clients were hampered\nin their business by the garnishment\norder.\nMr. F. G. T. Lucas, representing the\nplaintiff, opposed the application, stating\nthat it was not proper to go into the\nmeirts of the case before the action came\nto trial. The agreement had been\nchanged without consulting the plaintiff.\nHe was willing to help hurry the case\nalong to trial in order to relieve defendant company, but he could not\nsee why the present application should\nbe granted.\nG.

The city clerk is to advertise in\nthe local press that this tax and some\nother taxes are now due.\nAid. Hilditch suggested that the\nsanitary inspector be supplied with a\ntax receipt book so that he might\nfacilitate for the citizens the payment of\ntheir dog taxes, by collecting the tax\nfrom citizens when on his usual rounds.\nThis would not in any way invalidate\nthe fact that citizens are really expected\nto pay their taxes at the City Hall.\nBut the dog tax was a little matter\nlikely to be overlooked, and not usually\nconsidered worth a special journey to\nthe City Hall. The inspector could\nsave the citizens trouble by carrying a\nreceipt; book _withouL .adding to Jii*\nlabors materially.

McLeod Had Pleasure of\nCabling There t Had Been an Addition to Clan Instead of Death.in\nMcLeod Family.\nCaptain McLeod, master of the\nBritish ship Dunblane, now laying at\nSan Francisco, has observed the traditions of the greatest maritime nation\nthe world has seen and is now the happy\nfather of a fine baby boy which was born\nat sea, says the Vancouver Province. The\nevent took place at 4 o'clock this morning\non board the Grand Trunk Pacific\nsteamer Prince Rupert and the youngster's name will perpetuate the memory\nof Captain Barney Johnson, master of\nthe G. T. P. vessel. The Dunblane is\nat San Francisco, having arrived there\nrecently, and Captain and Mrs. McLeod\ntook the opportunity of visiting Northern\nBritish Columbia. The addition to the\nMcLeod family arrived on the scene\nearly this moming and the Prince\nRupert was opened out, all the engine-\nroom staff helping to shove the steamer\nalong at top speed while a wireless message was sent to Vancouver ordering\nmedical aid to meet the steamer.\nf When the Prince Rupert came in\nthis morning Dr. Wells was waiting\nand the mother and child were hurried to the hospital where they are\ndoing well. Captain McLeod is proud\nof the fact that his son was born at\nsea and the Prince Rupert passengers\ntook up a collection in order to buy\na present for the baby.\nWhile Captain McLeod was at Stewart\na man of the same name died as the\nresult of a blasting accident and one of\nthe skipper's friends at Prince Rupert,\njumping to conclusions, wired Captain\nMcLeod's relatives in New Zealand that\nhe was dead. Captain McLeod heard\nof this and was able to cable that instead\nof being dead, there was an addition\nto the Clan McLeod.\nINCREASE IN CUSTOMS\nOver Million Dollars for the Month of\nSeptember\nCompany\nGENERAL AGENCIES\nDominion Wood Pipe Company, Limited.\nPack)r r \"P Comp,u,'r> Limited.

Hilditch was speaking on\nthe subject of the Ninth avenue water\nsupply last night Ensign Johnstone and\nCapt.
