NOV. 1, 1913\nOUTPUT NEARLY\n60.000 TONS\nOutput fer October Highest in\nthe History of the Comox\nMines.\nDuring the past month several\nminers who were in the employ\nof the Canadian Collieries at this\npoint have retnrned to their\nhomes at Nanaimo, South Wellington and Extension. These\nmen came here only to fill in the\ngap. Their coming here was only\nwith the intention of working\nand waiting for the Western Fuel\nat Nanaimo and Pacific coal at\nSouth Wellington to commence\noperations. Now that these mines\nare working the men have returned to their own employment\nand place of abode. But with the\ncontinuous influx of miners from\nall parts the management of the\nCanadian Collieries has been\nable to continue to increase the\nproduction. The total output for\nthe month of October totals\n58,061 tons of coal. Showing a\nsteady increase for the past\ntwelve months.\nGETS FURTHER TIME\nIn the appeal of Chris, Patterson against the sentence of three\nmonths, imposed by Magistrate\nSimpson, of Nanaimo on the\ncharge of disorderly conduct during the recent strike disturbance\nHis Honor Judge Barker on Tuesday ordered an ajournment to\nNovember 14 owing to the Crown\nnot having a representative present o proceed with the case. At\nthe morning's session of the\ncourt Attorney Leighton, for the\nprisoner, informed the court that\nhe was prepared to go ahead at\nonce and as the crown had no\nrepresentative present he argued\nthe court had no alternative but\nto proceed at once.\nJudge Barker held that the\ncourt had the authority to postpone the hearing of the appeal\n1 and ordered an ajournment as\nstated.\n\"Magnificent\" is the word\nused by Mr. A. W. Smither,\nI chairman of the board of direc*\nj tors of the Grand Trunk Railway\nI system, upon his return to Lon-\nI don, in describing the wayCanada\n1 passed through the recent flnan-\nIcial stringency.

They were 21 and 22\nyears old, and had throughout the\ndisturbances been to the fore.\nThey had threatened, in vile\nand horrible language, te#\u00C2\u00ABhor-\nrible for repetition, men wholfad\nworked.\"\nReferring evidently to 'the objection that in his sggggnces on\nthe union leaders Ju_&e Howay\nhad held them responsible for the\nwild actions of their rowdy followers the judge claims that no\nfurther proof than the evidence\nhe had heard was necessary to\nconvince that the riots had been\norganized. All had broken out\nwithin less than one day of each\nother. At Nanaimo two contingents had wound in and out\naround the streets of the town.\nThey had crossed and recrossed\neach other in their route of\nmarch. First they had broken\nthe windows and stoned the\nhomes of men who had continued\nworking. Then delegations had\nvisited these men and asked them\nto quit work. Then again, in a\nfew hours, they had given them\nuntil the next day to leave town.\nThe men to even have protection\nuntil that noon were forced to\nsign a book in the union hall. It\nwas while doing this that one of\nunion's leaders had said that they\nhad the upper hand now and were\ngoing to keep it: \"I am the law\nhere,\" he had said.\nFOUND GUILTY.\nNew Westminster, Oct. 30 -\nRichard Goodwin, a Cumberland\nminer was convicted by the assize\ncourt jury, today of assaulting\npolice constable Joseph McArgle\nat Cumberland on July 19.\nThe charge o.'' rioting was\nthown out.\nGoodwin and his friends\nto prove an alibi in that li\nin his shack al the time in ques-\ntien.\nThe crown alleged Goodwin\nattacked Mc Argle as the latter\nwas arresting a striker.\nJustice clement reserved sentence till Saturday.\nTHE SITUATION\nAT\nned\nwas\nJURY DISAGREED.\nNew Westminster, Oct. 29.\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nAfter four hours deliberation the\njury disagreed in the first of the\nstriking Cumberland miners cases\nin the Asize court today.

More\ndefinite announcement will be\ngiven nextweek.\nThe Nanaimo Herald say: \u00E2\u0080\u0094\nThe strike in Nanaimo has now\nlasted almost six months. Since\nils beginingon the first of May,\nall classes in the community,\nwhether they agreed or disagreed\nwith the methods by which it\nwas started, have cherished the\nhope that a complete settlement\nwould be reached. This hope has\nperforce to be abandoned, The\nmine has been opened, and the\nmen are gradually going back to\nwork. Over a hundred men had\nreturned to their jobs by the end\nof last week, and the number\nwas further increased yesterday\nmorning. There is quite a large\nnumber who are wavering, wishing to get back to work, and yet\nnot quite able to make up their\nminds what to do about it, To tell\nthe truth thero is also quite a\nbig number who are determined\nto stick by the United Mine Workers of America. These probably\nrepresent the element which was\nwilling for a strike in May and\nseized ihe opportunity presented\nby the strike to join the organization. This is the situation today\nand to say the least it could wear\na more pleasant aspect. Still\nthere are a few considerations\nthat ought to appeal to the men\non strike. The outstanding fact\nin *he whole situation is that an\ninsuperable deadlock has been\nreached, and that the strike is\ndoomed to failure. At the very\noutset the men had very little to\ngain by wintting the strike, and\nnow they must admit that there\nis not a hope of victory left so\nthat they have everything to\nlose. It follows therefore, that to\ncontinue the struggle is suicidal\nfolly. It may be a bitter confession\nto make- but it is no use blinding\nfacts. The men, in our opinion\nhave been ill-advised from the\nstart. They have not been struggling for the right to organize, to\nband themselves together in a\ntrade union. Their fight has been\nnarrowed down to the one issue\nof the recognition of the United\nMine Workers of America, and\nin considering the company's refusal to recognize this body the\ncharacter of the organization and\nthe methods it has employed in\nthe strike here have got to be\ntaken into account. When once\nthis ground is reached the attitude of the company is easily understood. No reputable trade\nunion was ever established by\nmeans of such methods as have\nbeen employed here. No body of\nminers, in out\" experience, were\never ordered out by a single individual whose very name was\nunknown to the vast majority of\nthe men, We might also add\nthat we never knew a body of\nmen (o consent to leave their\nwork on the order of any one\nman. never mind what might be\nhis position in any trade organization. It has also to be remembered that in the case of Nanai-\nSubscription price, $1.50 per year\nmo the strike order deliberately\nviolated a living agreement between the men and the company.\nWe would ask if by this action\nalone, Farrington did not destroy\nevery chance of ever obtaining\nrecognition for his organization\nfrom the company? As a matter\nof sober reason and common\nsense Farrington not only disfranchised the miners here by his\naction, but he also at the same\ntime put the whole case of the\nmen out of court so far as the\ncompany's recognition is concerned. A further point is that the\nstrike itself becomes an irregular\nproceeding. There i3 only one\nway in which a strike can be regularly enforced upon a body of\nmen, and that is by a majority\nballot. The men were arbitrarily\nrefused a vote, and a state of\nscabdom\" instituted by Foster\nindividually. This position is absolutely untenable. Under the\npresent conditions no man is at\nall bound either by Farrington's\norder or Fosters dodger. The men\nhave their own interests and\ntheir own welfare to consider.\nThere is a large number whose\nonly wish is to return to work,\nand work is there for them for\nthe asking. If, as reported, they\ncannot get a hearing through the\norganization, then they can make\ntheir own arrange-nonts. Thc\nonly thing for them to do is to\nget out of a hopeless situation,\nand the only way out is for them\nto take their affairs into their\nown hands, and do as they wi-h\nand not as they are ot'derd.\nW.

The\nvalue of these ln the rough would be\nmore llian $750,000,001); lo this must\nbo added ihe cost of cutting and the\nprofits to the syndicate, to thc exporter, to the middleman and the retailer.\ni Among (lie most famous diamonds\narc those ot the royal houses of Bra*\ngnnza, and among the most valuable\nof the Bragatua collection Is lhat called the King of Portugal, which weighs\n1.080 carats.

Doubreyou. There ara\nmen at Calais. Dieppe and other continental ports, wbo will guarantee to get\nany dog acroaa the Channel aud deliver hlm to any place In England that\nmay be agreed upon.\nTheir charges range high, from $100\nto $_50, according to the size aud breed\nof the animal, but wealthy dog-lovers\ndo not mind paying generously lu order to spare their pets the ignomy of\nhaving to undergo three months' quarantine and themselves Uie discomfort\nof being separated from tbem during\nall that long period.\nOf course, there are also people who\ntry to smuggle iheir dogs across on\nllieir own. They ara usually women,\nand I may add that they very rarely\nsucceed.\nThe big bag nitiffa uow ao popular\nnre the usual receptacles for small\ntoy dog . Only the other day I bad\nmy suspicions aroused by the exceedingly careful w.-.y a welldressed lady\npassenger was carrying one of these\ndown the gangway from one of the\nChannel mall steamers. Pretending\nto stumble, 1 i.tabbed ths muff fairly\nhard, and aa 1 expected, a yelp was\nemitted from Inside. The lady dog\nsmuggler had to pay about $25 fines\nand costs, and her pet went Into quarantine after all.\nToy bulls are the easiest dogs to\nsmuggle because they neve.' bark. We\nonco found one of this particular breed\nat the bottom of a big Saratoga trunk\nbeneath n pile ot costly dresses. It\nhad evidently suffered considerably\nfrom Its prolonged confinement, ln\nfact lt was halt-suffocated; yet lt never uttered a sound.\nOh another occasion the lid of a\ncardboard box which was supposed to\ncontain assorted French chocolates,\nstarted bulging upwards in a strange\nmanner. On taking It off there emerged to view one ot the smallest black\npomerians 1 ever saw. It weighed\nonly three pounds, and was valued\nby lis owner at 600 guineas.\nActors and actresses are among the\nmoat persistent sinners In the matter\nof dog smuggling. They run over to\nParis, or Vienna, or wherever it may\nbe, In order to fulfill a professional\nengagement, and thoughtlessly take\ntheir pets with them, ignoring or forgetting the regulations as to quarantine on readmlsslon to the United\nKingdom.\nWealthy society women, too, not Infrequently suffer from similar lapses\nof memory, lt. Is people of this type\nwho patronize the professional dog\nsmugglers alluded to above. Many of\nthem don't mind what they pay.\nOno high-born lady had her great\nDane brought over by aeroplane at a\ncost of $100. This method of dodging\nthe customs autliorlllei was a fairly\nsafe one at the time, for the new regulations governing the arrival ot airmen from abroad were not then In\nforce, but It by no means follows that\nIt Is going to work equally well in the\nfuture.\nAnother valuable dog, a St. Bernard,\nwas recently smuggled over In a tug\nthat had been specially chartered for\nthe purpose. The owner of the animal\nmot the captain by arrangement off\nthe Essex coast Just outsit\".- the three-\nmile limit, and transferred it to his\nprivate motor-boat which was then\nrun at top speed into one ot the many\nsheltered creeks that abound ln the\nestuary ot the Thames. We. heard\nall about It soon afterwards, but we\ncould do nothing, as specific proof waa\nlacking.\nSuch methods, however, are too costly for any but very wealthy people.\nThe usual plan, and one very difficult\nto circumvent, Is for the dog to be\nentrusted to the care of aome member\nof the crew ot one of the many small\nforeign vessels that trace to this country with agricultural produce\u00E2\u0080\u0094onlona,\npotatoes and auch like.\nThe animal la allowed to range the\ndeck quite freely on arrival, no secret\nbeing made of Us presence on board.\nBut one night it is missing.

If the moon shows a D that\nnaturally Bt:.nds for decresclt. Tt\nwanes.\nBut then comes In the great principle. The moon Is always deceitf. .\nand one has to understand thc opposite of what the moon says, so that x\nmoon which shows a D Is a waxing\nmoon, while a waning moon Is like a\nC.\nThose who have no Latin will 0\ndoubt look to seo whether the moon\nsays it Is decreasing, In which case\nthey will understand that lt Is waxing,\nwhile a waning moon will deny that It\n1; decreasing.\nMlnrrd's Liniment Cures Burns, Etc.\nTrue\nMrs. ulxe\u00E2\u0080\u0094How could you lie so to\nMr. Dauber about that absurd picture\nhe has at the exhibition?

The nearer an Iceberg Is to the ship the less is\nthe amount of salt in solution in Ihe\nwater. In conjunction with the United States and Canadian Governments\nDr. Coplans has been carrying out a\nseries or experiments on these lines\nwhich are expected to have most important results, and Whlol. should do\nmuch towards rendering Impossible\nsuch disasters as that Inch overtook\nthe illfated Titanic.\nAnother invention of which high\nhopes arc entertained Is what Is known\nas the mlcrothermometer, an instrument e:.. tiling very much closer readings of the temperature of the water\nto bo obtained than Is possible with an\nordinary thermometer. It is also self\nrecording.\nIt Is a curious fact, by the way. ii\nregard to thlc instrument, thai when\nan Iceberg is being approached tlie Instrument actually records : rise in\ntemperature, litis, however, h Ing followed by a rapid fall, The explanation is that the water rom a melting\niceberg, leaving the berg at its coldest, gradually travels outward and becomes warmed by the absorption of\nbeat from the sun.\nSubmarine signalling, too. for the\nprevention ot disasters In foggy weather, Is also being closely studied by\nexperts, for It Is recognized that there\nIs much room for Improvement In Ibe\nsignalling apparatus used . t the present time on board ship. Fog-horns,\nsirens, and other apparatus used for\nsending sound through the air to or\nfrom ships at sea are regarded as very i\nunsatisfactory, and It is estimated that\nIn ten years no fewer than 1,000 vessels were wrecked, resulting In the |\nloss of 500 human lives, owing solely\nto aberrations ot sound or :o echoes.\nThe modern system of submarine\nsignalling consists qf b 'lis sunk In at\nleast 20 feet of water, operated by electricity or pneumatic or hydraulic pressure. It Is said that a submarine bell\ncan be heard at a greater distance\nthan any fog-horn, siren, or an;- other\ngenerally used air signal or device.\nand It is recurded that one if these\nbells was heard at a distance of from\nten to flftx-ii miles.\nThe receiving apparatus Is very simple, consisting of two cast-iron tanks,\nwhich are placed below the water-line\non either side of the ship's bows and\ntn contact wllb the shell of the ship.\nIn each tank Is the microphone, which\n1.1 connected by an electric telephone\nsystem and the bridge. There the navigating officer has suitable receivers\nand switches which enable him to listen on either side of Ihe ship. If he\nalters the course ot the ship on hearing the bell so that the Intensity of\nthe sound is equal on both sides ot the\nship then the bell lies straight In front\nand according to the Intensity of the\nvarious sounds he is able to avoid\ndanger.\nPunishment to Fit the Crime\nNot long ago there entered the office of a New York broker a most excited person who, upon ascertaining\nthat the broker was indeed the Individual he sought announced ln no un\ncertain terms that he proposed to have\nsatisfaction and justice.\nBy exercising his sttavest methods\nthe broker managed to elicit from his\nexcited caller that on the previous\nday, as the broker's chauffeur was op\neratlng his employer's car, he had, at\nthe corner ot Broadway and Fifty-\nfourth sfreet, nearly run down the\ncomplainant's wife, Incidentally tearing from her frock a quantity ot material..\nI am very sorry. Indeed, said tlie\nbroker, and will be glad to do what I\ncan to remedy the matter.

To \"\t\nForty Sixth Anniversary of Great Ammunition Company\nJust forty-six years ago, with the\nspirit of reconstruction then abroad ln\nthe land as a moving influence, began\nthe lirst successful manufacture ot\nmetallic cartridges in the United\nmates. Some while before, when\njourneying through the West, Marcel-\nlus Hartley had seen a roughly made\nmetallic shell or case made to contain\nthe charge of a gun and had given this\nidea considerable thought. After the\nCivil War some ten years later, realizing the importance of metallic cartridges for the new breech loading\narms, Mr. Hartley's firm bought up the\nplants and patents of several unsuccessful factories and on August 9th,\n1867, the Union Metallic Cartridge\nCompany was incorporated, -, half century after the first Remington gun was\nmade at Ilion, N.Y*.\nIn the CO'i, skin cartridges and those\not parchment and linen holding the\npowder and bullet and percussion caps\nhad been made, together -'itli a few\ninferior rim Are cartridges; but now\ncame this new industry nore Important than all the rest combined. A\nmechanical genius was sought and\nfound in the person of Alfred C. Hobbs\nwhose master skill had brought him\nthe $1,000 in gold offered by the English Government for the man who\ncould pick the lock ot the bank of\nEngland. Nearly all the special machines required were the inventions if\nSir. Hobbs. At first, rim Are cartridges were turned out, but with Col,\nBerdan's revolutionary invention of the\nprimer, central Are cartridges became\nthe bulk of the output. The far-famed primers developed by the Remington U.M.C. experts have enabled the\ncompany's ammunition to go through\nall climatic conditions and prove absolutely normal in any test.\nIn 1873 equipment for m:.king shotgun shells was installed and in the\nearly 80's shotgun load3 were supplied.\nAs our readers well know the two\ngreat companies, the Remington Arms\nCom. any and the Union Metallic Cartridge Company, amalgamated several\nyears ago, and since have leo> doing\nbusiness as one.\nBELONG TO SAM- FAMILY\nMuscallonge, Pike and Pickerel are\nall Closely Related.\nThree divisions of the piko family\nare known to anglers, and these are\nnamed muscallonge, pike and pickerel. The gamest ot the group, of\ncourse Is the muscallonge, and students claim that two varieties are\nfound. This may or may not be\ntrue, but they confuse the Great\nNorthern pike with the muskle ln\nmany parts of the country.\nIn this section we generally consider the muscallonge as the largest\nmember of the pike family as specimens as large as 100 pounds have\nbeen reported, but ln Europe the common pike often runs to a corresponding size.\nMuscallonge, pike and pickerel of\ncourse, ara all more or less similar\nln shape, and their fins are of the\nsame number, the base body coloring\nof green or yellow also being similar in the different specie:,. In all\ntoo, tho belly color ranges from white\nto cream. .But this Is as far as the\nsimilarity goes. In tho muscallonge\nthe body markings are always and\ninvariably a dark brown or black and\nare either round spots or vertical\nblotches, according to one well\nknown author.\nOarK's\n~ Porks\nBeans\nSt. I.-ldore, P.Q., Aug. 18, 1904.\nMinard's Liniment Co., Limited.\nGentlemen.\u00E2\u0080\u0094I have requently uset\"\nMINARD'S LINIMENT and also prescribe lt for my patients always with\nthe most gratifying results, and I con*\nsider lt tha test all-rounl Liniment\nextant.\nYours truly,\nDR.
