The captain of the vessel intended to\nsmuggle the Japs into the United\nStates, but was\" compelled to\nland at Bella Bella for supplies.\nAs the Union steamship Camosun\nput in on Tuesday the smuggler\nescaped with twelve Japs on\nboard, leaving nine ashore. One\nof these escaped into the woods,\nthe remainder being arrested\nand brought to Vancou ver. They\nwill be deported. Several vessels are now in pursuit of the\nJapanese ship. Although the\nvoyage is believed to have been\nthe personal venture of the captain, the Dominion government I\nis being urged to send a note to\nthe Japanese government, pro-j\ntesting against the violation of;\nthe treaty limiting the immigra-j\ntion of Japs to 450 yearly through i\nregular channels.\nAfter prospecting for years in\nmany camps, Henry Bretzins, a\nSlocan miner, who started out\nfrom Hazelton a couple of weeks\nago, made his first big find a few\nhours after he began prospecting\non the Cronin trail, in the Babine\nrange, Camping 24milesf rom Moricetown, he started out to get a\nview from the top of the hill.\nFinding galena float, he traced\nit up for a short distance, discovering a ledge apparently five\nfeet wide and exposed for a\nlength of 750 feet. On the hanging wall was a streak of steel\ngalena three inches wide, the\nsame ore occurring in streaks\nand bunches throughout the vein.\nThe lucky prospector staked four\nclaims, calling the group the\nDebenture, and returned to Hazelton to record. He packed out\na quantity of the surface ore,\nwhich is of excellent appearance\nand carries $78 in silver and lead.\nIn expectation of finding more\nmineral in the neighborhood, *\nnumber of prospectors have gone\nto the scene of the strike.\nOn the Ingineca group a tunnel has been started on the 40-\nfoot vein. Ed Kohse, who came\nin on Monday, says the tunnel is\nalready in fifteen feet and shows\nabout four feet of quartz, with\nplenty of yellow copper and some\ngray copper. A crosscut will be\ndriven to tap number one and\nnumber two veins at a depth of\nabout 100 feet.\nOn the Silver Creek group,\nsituated just back of Smithers,\nthe Hudson Bay Mining Co. is\nbusily engaged in development,\nwith forty men working under\nthe management of Harry Car-\nperter. Col. R. G. Steele, superintendent of the property, is expected to return from the coast\nin a few days, accompanied by\ndirectors of the company. This\nconcern, with one of the best\nprospective mining properties in\nthe district, is likely to cut an\nimportant figure in the development of our mines. Within\nthirty days it is expected that\nthe crosscut tunnel will tap the\nbig showing on the second vein.\nWith a length of about four\nhundred feet, the tunnel will\ngive a depth of foot for foot on\nthe vein, it is estimated. The\ncompany is working in the most\nsystematic and thorough manner.\nJ. G. Carsley, of Montreal, arrived with R. G. S t e e I e on\nWednesday.

The commissioners showed a laudable desire to obtain all information regarding the conditions of labor throughout\nthe district, and especially along the line of railway construction,\nli is rather unfortunate that witnesses qualified'to speak of\nthe hospital conditions along the line were not available at the\ntime of hearing. The commissioners showed by their questions\nthat this subject had been brought to their notice, but no evidence\nwas forthcoming. As the inquiry will be continued at Fort\nCeorge and Fort Fraser, it is to be hoped that the Labor Commission will be able to probe the contractors' hospital system to\nthe bottom. Most serious complaints of incompetence and inattention have been made, and it is high time the matter was\nlooked into.\nAs a result of the work of the commission, there will be introduced in the legislature a number of laws, which will probably\nprovide, among other things, for an eight-hour day; cash payment\nof employees; regulation of employment agencies: government\nin iurance of employees, and further restriction of Oriental immigration.\nPeople outside British Columbia tels, club, etc. It has five char-\nlittle realize the gigantic strides | tered banks, besides a number\nthis province has taken in the of Trust companies,\nlast few years.
