C.\nTHE FIGHT BY BOUNDS\nA One Sided Affair   Jeffries Injured His\nLeft Arm and Could Not\nMeet 0'DcnuoIl-\nNew Yorlc, Aug. 5.\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Jeffries, the\nmuch heralded heavyweight pugilist\nof California, was to have fought both\nArmstrong and Steve O'Donnell for\nten rounds each before the Lennox\nAthletic club tonight, but was only\nable to carry out half his proposed\ntask. He met Armstrong and defeated\nhim, but in doing so injured his left\narm and was unable to meet O'Donnell.\nJeffries elected to light Armstrong\nfirst, he being considered the stronger\nman and the more difficult proposition\nof tho two. Armstrong's seconds were\nBob Delaney and Mike Lyman, and\nthey said the man weighed 187.\nJeffries weighed 207 pounds. Billy\nDelaney, Dick Turner, Ralph Barton\nand Marty McCue wero tho western\nman's seconds.\nBoth fought light, in thc first round.\nIn the second Armstrong lauded several times aud had the better of the\nround. Jeffries wore a determined\nlook as he came up in the third and\nplanted a straight left on the face,\nbringing the blood from Bob's nose.\nHo followed this with hard jabs and\nswings. Tom Sharkey, who sat in a\nbox, coached Armstrong for the fourth\nround, and the negro landed two lefts\nin the face. In t^e fifth nnd sixth\nrounds Armstrong was badly punished.\nIn the seventh round Armstrong\nhugged Jeffries a great deal. Jeffries\nopened the eighth with a right* hook\nto tho ribs, and Bob sent his left to\nthe face. Jim rushed and got Armstrong on the run, landing lightly\ntwice. Jeffries swung on the head,\nand Bob replied witli a hard jab.\nArmstrong was weak in thc ninth, but\nwas game. He stood all tho jabbing\nwell and did not land a blow. Jeffries\nsent Armstrong to the floor in the\ntenth and last round by a left swing\non the head. Bob took nine seconds,\nand when he came up Jeffries hooked\nhim right and left on the jaw. Jeffries\nkept punching him, aud Armstrong\nran to the ropes without making any\nattempt to strike back. It was a one\nsided affair. Armstrong stayed the\nlimit by running, and the referee declared Jeffries the winner, whilo\nArmstrong's friends were telling the\ncolored man that he had done well.\nThere was an interval of 20 minutes\nat 10:85, and the. crowd waited patiently until 11 o'clock, when Jeffries\nreappeared in tho ring. It was announced that the second bout between\nStove O'Donnell and tho Californian\nwould not take place, as Jeffries had\ninjured his left hand in the fight with\nArmstrong.\nNEWS OF MANZANILLO.\nSpanish Garrison   Is  Described as Too\nDisheartened to Fight.\nSantiago, Aug. 5.\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdThe warship\nMassachusetts and another warship arrived at Guantanamo bay last night\nand started coaling immediately. Commander Todd of tho Wilmington reports that the conditions at Manzanillo\nas learned from General Rios aro as\nfollows:\nThere are about 2000 legulars, 1000\nvolunteers, 500 bombarderes, or firemen, there. They appear to bo well\nsupplied with cattle and provisions,\nbut. are believed to be short of ammunition. Recent, events in that vicinity\nhave caused thein to become disheartened, and it is believed that the appearance of an American force of only\n1000 men would result in the capitulation of the place. So far as the forts\naro concerned, they amount to little or\nnothing, beyond 'some field pieces,\ntemporarily placed in position, and belonging to the army.

Section 515 of this act says :\n\"53. In the electoral district of Cassiar the returning ollicer shall fix the\nday for the holding of the polls in each\npolling station in tho district. The\nday so fixed need not be the same for\nall the said polling stations, but the\nreturning officer shall, iu his discretion, fix for the holding of the polls at\neach polling station tho nearest practicable day subsequent to the day fixed\nfor the nomination of candidates as\naforesaid, uot more than twenty days\nafter tho day of nomination. \"\nThe nominations were made on tho\nloth day of July, thus the twenty-\nday limit expired on the 4th instant.\nThe poll at Port Simpson is to be held,\nit is stated, today, the 6th, whilo at\nothor places the dates fixed are still\nlater. This is a palpable, violation of\nthe law, and, ono would think, the\nelections will be consequently invalid.\nThe exact political complexion of the\ncandidates has been a matter of some\ndispute and argument. Mr. McTavish\nis an undoubted independent, with\nopposition leanings. The cases of the\nother candidates are not clear. Captain Irving has boen but an indifferent supporter of the Turner government in tho past, and Mr. Clifford,\nthough called a government candidate,\nattended tho opposition convention in\nVancouver, and is known to bo opposed to the government on many\npoints. It is significant, too, that\nthroughout, the campaign both men\nhave been very careful not to identify\nthemsolves with tho Turnerites.\nNevertheless the government has\nsupported thom throughout the contest,\nso it would bo moro prudent to count\nthem among the supporters of the Turner regime, until thoy havo definitely\ndeclared themselves otherwise. Conceding this, the government supporters\nin the new house will number 17 to\nthe opposition's 19, while if the two\nindependent candidates are also conceded to the government the score will\nbe 19 on either side. The government\nwould, of course, havo to appoint a\nspeaker, which would leavo them in\na minority ot one.\nIf such bo the stato of the parties\nwheu the houso meets, it is obvious\nthat it will be impossible for either\nparty to carry on the government, and\na fresh oloction would bo inevitable.\nOur advices from tho coast, however,\nindicate that such will not bo tho case,\nas thero is every probability of several of the petitions against the government candidates being successful,\nso barefaced and open wero the moth -\noils of corruption employed in many\ninstances.\nEven if these anticipations aro not\nfulfilled, the opposition have everything to gain from another election.\nNothing suceeds like success, and the\nlargo margin of votorswho always like\nto be on the winning side, will vote,\nagainst Turner next time. In the contest hero in Nelson Mr. Earwell owod\nsuoh a measure of success as he obtained very largely to this fact. How\noften was it said, \"Nelson has been\nopposition long enough and it has dono\nus no good ; let us return a government man, and then moro will be done\nfor the town.'' Should another election bo held this will bo said again,\naud with redoubled  force, but  it will\nThe legal complications iu connection with the transfer of the control of\nthe Le Roi mine to the B. A. C. seem\nto become more intricate as time goes\non. The Hon. C. H. Mackintosh is\ndetermined to get hold of the mine for\nhis company, while the minority stock\nholders seem equally decided that he\nshall not. The most recent trouble\nseems to have arisen from tho fact\nthat Colonel Turner, at the monthly\nmeeting of the trustees, refused to put\na motion appointing Mr. Carlyle general manager of the Le Roi company,\nvice Colonel Peyton,who had resigned,\nnotwithstanding that five out of the\nnine trustees present were in its favor.\nMr. Mackintosh thereupon obtained\nan injunction, restraining Colonel\nTurner and the minority representatives from dealing with the property.\nMr. CarMe has, in the meantime,\nbeen appointed receiver, and is in possession of the mine. The minority\nhave engaged counsel and are preparing to contest tho injunction, when an\ninteresting legal fight may be anticipated. It is a great pity that all this\ntrouble has arisen in connection with\nsuch a well known mine as the Lo Roi\nfor it cannot but produce a bad impression on the minds of the English\ninvesting public. It would also seem\nthat this trouble could not have oc\ncurred had not the Le Roi company\nbeen incorporated under the laws of\nthe state of Washington, and it certainly appears, on the face of it, to\nbe very unjust^thnt the laws of a foreign state should be able thus to impede the development of a British\nproperty. In the meantime it is to be\nhoped that the schemes of the turbulent and obstructive minority will soon\nbc finally put i,n end to.\nisriE'w\n#\nGrOOIDS      Official Directory.\nHair Brushes, Tooth Brushes,\nand Cloth  Brushes,\nalso Good Value in Sponges\nW.

St. Paul and St. George islands\nhave a fow government officers,lessees,\nemployes aud a few hundred natives,\nbut this force is inadequate to frustrate\na well planned raid.\nThe plan of branding female seals,\ngovernment officers say, is proving a\nsuccess.

The work of branding will\nbe continued.\nTRADE OF BRITISH COLONIES.\nJust at this time when Americans\nfeel inclined to claim everything in\nsight, the following will be of interest.

THE MINER, SATURDAY,  AUGUST 6, 1898,\nAN IMPORTANT DBCI810N\nThe Eakusp & Slocan Ry.\nvs. the Hall Mines.\nLIMESTONE A MINERAL\nMr. Justice  Drake Reviews the Authorities in an Exhaustive  Judgment-\nStatutory Definition Followed.\nAt the recent sittings of tbe supreme\ncourt an important caso was tried,\nwith the Kaslo & Slocan railway as\nplaintiffs and the Hull Minos Co as\ndefendants. The point at issue was\nwhether limestone was a mineral\nwithin the meaning of the act, and\nconsequently whether hind containing\nlimestone could be staked and held as\na mineral claim. The case was reported at tho time in The Miner, and\nas it is one of considerable importance\nto the mining community, it was announced that the full text of tlie judgment would be published as soon as it\ncould be obtained. The text is as follows :\nKaslo & Slocan Railway Company\nvs. Tho Hall Mines, Limited.\nThe facts on which tho parties rely\nare set out in the special caso and the\nquostions submitted to tin; court are:\nFirst\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdWhether the limestone in dis\npute is owned by the plaintiffs or defendants.\nSecond\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdWhothor limestone cau be\nlocated under the mineral act.\nThird\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdWhether limestone is included in the grant to the plaintiffs\nunder tho Kaslo & Slocan railway subsidy act, 1893, aud amendments,\nAs to tho second question, the mineral act, 181)1, has denned what shall\nbe minerals for tho purpose of the act,\naud the legislature has included in (ho\nlist substances which aro chemical\nproducts of substances which can\nhardly be classed as minerals as well\nas elements.\nThe ordinary definition of minerals\nis that it includes all substances which\ncan bo got from underneath the surface of tho earth.\nThe definition of Mellish, L. J., in\nHoxt vs. Gill, L. R, 7, Oh. 703, is\nnot applicable to the present case, as\nwo aro governed by our own statutory\ndefinition, and in the several cases\nwhich have been considered in the\nEnglish courts there have boon more\nor less differences of opinion ; for instance, in Darwell vs. Roper, 24 L. .T.,\nCh. 779, it was decided that minerals\nwero something that necessitated the\nuso of shafts, drifts or tunnels tor their\nextraction. In Bell vs. Wilson, ll-\"i L,\nJ., Ch. SUIT, Vice Chancellor Kidilc.rley\nheld that freestone was not a mineral, for minerals were something\nthat required inining. The appeal\ncourt overruled this definition as to free-\nStone] and in Hoxt vs. Gill, above,\nMellish, Li. J., held that profit was the\ncriterion of whether a substance extracted from beneath the surface was a\nmineral or not, but this criterion was\ndissented from in Provost of Glasgow\nvs. Farie, lil Appeal, 057, and it was\nthere considered by tlie lord chancellor\nthat James', L. J., definition in Hoxt\nvs. Gill was the more accurate, viz. ;\nThat \"mines and minerals\" is a question of fact what tho words mean in\ntho vernacular of the mining world,\ntho commercial world and owners at\ntho time they were used, and it was\npointed out that a stono quarry was,\naccording to the Infinitum of Johnson's Dictionary, a stono mine, and\nthat slate mines wero in reality\nquarries.\nSuch being the position of the\nauthorities on tho general term minerals, I must soo what tho statutes say\nare minerals.\nSection 2, after enumerating various\nsubstances, proceeds on any combination of tho aforesaid elements with\nthemselves or any other elements. If,\ntherefore, I find that limestone, is a\ncombination of any ono of tho substances with some other substance,\ntheu it falls within the definition.\nLimestone is stated to bo composed of\nlime, which is carbonate of calcine\naud oxygen, silica, iron and magnesia.\nIron and magnesia are both among the\nso-called elements. Calcine, whioh is\nnot mjutioued, is ono of tho components of lime, but would be covered by\ntho word, or in combination with other\nelements.\nIu addition to this, in the next paragraph, limestone,-marble, clay, or any\nbuilding stone when mined for building purposes, shall not bo considered\nns a mineral within the act. The\nordinary meaning of this language is\nthat if these substances are mined for\nany other purpose than for building\nthey would be considered as minerals.\nIt is woll here to observe that the act\nused tho term \"milled. \" Limestone,\nmarble and building stone are usually\nquarried and not mined, and it appears to mo that tho verb to mine used\nin section 10 and other portions ot the\naot includes quarrying and other modes\nof extracting the minerals than the\nmain uso for underground workings.\nI am therefore, of opinion that the\nsecond question must bo answered iu\ntbo affirmative.\nAs to the first question, the grant to\nthe plaintiffs is subject to this proviso,\nthat the crown can authorize any person to outer upon the granted lands to\nraise and get thereout any minerals,\nprecious or base, other than coal.\nThoso latter words, precious or base,\nus applied to minerals,seem to me very\ninappropriate.   The term is applied to\nmetals,   but  I do not know  what a;\nprecious or base mineral  i.s or what is\nmeant    in   using   such   language.    1 '.\nthink the grant can be   read, omitting\nIhose   words, without   injury   to   the j\nsense, and   the   question   is   what  is |\nmeant by the   term   minerals   in this\ngrant.    Whether   tho   definition   con- |\ntaiiicl in the mineral  act  applies or;\nnot appears to nie of little importance.\nThe term usedjmust befroad in ltsjordiu-\nary   meaning, which would  certainly\ninclude  limestone.    I  see   nothing in\nthe grant that makes it   subject to tlio\nmineral act.    The   defendants, having\ntaken up a   claim on   the   land of the\nplaintiffs, they are there   as  lieciieces\nof   the   crown   holding  a  lease for a\nyear, and by virtue of such license have\n(lie right to extract all   mineral ns defined  by   the  mineral act, complying\nwith the formalities   required, which,\nin this  case, are  undisputed.    I   am,\ntherefore,of opinion that tho first question must be answered   in the defendant's favor.    And as to the third question  I think   the  plaintiffs  held   the\ngrant subject to the.   proviso beforo referred to.\nThe words of the grant are peculiar.\nThe grant conveys the laud with the,\nappurtenances unto the said company,\nits successors and assigns forever. The\nusual rule that a grant in fee is construed against tho grantor is reversed\nwhen tin; crown is thc grantor. Tho\ngrant is in fee simple. The term successors as words of limitation are not\nnecessary in tho grant to a corporation\naggregate. They had no force to\ngrant and this company are entitled to\na fee. simple as freeholders subject to\nthe proviso and limitations contained\nin the grant.\nJudgment will bo for tho defendants\nwith costs.\nM.
