The _-|[_!it Hour Law. It is roportod that ihere aro grounds for fearing u "striko" among the miners in the Slocan, who refuse to work for eight hours for any less pay than thoy wero accustomed to receive for teu. Should a s.ril.e tako place, the mine owners are fully determined not te yield the point, and the miuoa may thus bo closed down for .in indefinite poriqd. All tbis loss aud trouble wiil bo attributable to the unfortunate clauso inserted dining tlio recent session of tbe Provincial Legislature, iu tbo amendments to tho Metalliferous Mines Act, providing tbat unperson shall bo employed underground in any metalliferous mine for more thau eight hours ia ovory twoo.y-four," This amendment is acceptable to neither tbe mine owners uor tho miners them* iclves, but unfortunately passed the House in oonsequouoo of the successful "lobbying" of a Cmur D'Alouo labour agitator, Allowing for tho time workings are clearing of gusses after blasts.u Slocau miner doos.uot, us a matter of fact, actually work longer than eight hours a dny, and ho was julte con tout with his former conditions ol labor, He furthermore is not grateful fov legislation-that will decrease his earnings. By the amendment a miner is not permitted lo work should ho so desire, iwo shifts of eight hours in tbe twenty-four, hence iho new law, instead of improving his lot really has a contrary efl'eot. The Slain miuo owue.-s, ou tho oilier hand, do not soo why they should bo called on to increase expenses by paying higher wages for labor, oven in cases where they could afford to do so, Bight hour shifts might bo practicable enough in the Rossland camp, where at most of tho mines Lhe machinery is ul'a moro elaborate and labor saving character than that used in the Slocan but in tho latter camp an eight-hour duy would meun not much more than six hours of actual labor. As the amendment hus become law, the Government is, ol! course, powerless in the direction of taking steps to remedy the evil that lias been done; tho Nelson Tribune, however, in u vory sensible article, points out I'm. as botli the miners do not. wisli to see tlio now law put into offoot, tbo matter may bo arranged without dilllculty.as (he thirty- fourth section oHho act makes it clear that piosecuiions which might arise under this section must bo originated by either the Govornmont Inspector at Mines or tho Minister of M'cea. It recites: 'No prosecution tbttll bo instituted against tho owuor, agent mita- agar, or lessoo of a mine to which tola act applies for r.ny o'l'deo uudoi act whicli cun bo p-oseouted boforo a court of summai y jurisdiction, o:;cept by un inspector or with tho consent \ writing of the Minister o.

Tho Nelson Tribuuo of the -Jth says: Tlie Ottawa correspondent of tho Toronto Telegram suys Hewitt Bostock will havo a district carved out for him in this province: a district iu wliich he will Imve no trouble to bo returned. The correspondent has it that Mr, Bo- slock would havo trouble to be rel.uru- od from Yale-Cariboo, "as the district stretches northward from Kootenay seven or eight huudred miles. Tho northern hull' sparsely settled, offers no serious obstacles tou candidate who bus the necessary means to cover a territory of such vast extent. Itis tho southern portion, thc Kootenay peoplo that Bostock fears." All of which goes to show that tho Ottawa correspondent of tho Toronto Telegram is talking through ids hat, Mr.Bostook's district uow embraces Bast aud West Kootenay, Yale, Lillooet and Oarlboo. Bast uud west Kootenay make wlmt is known us the county of Kootenay und nro situate in tlie southeast corner of the provinco. Yule is kuown us tho county of of Yule and adjoins Koote- noy on the west. Lillooet adjoins Yule on tho north, and Cariboo lies immediately north of Lillooet. If the county of Kootenay was made a Dominion electoral district, it wonld simply be u natural division, whoso pooplo Java dependent almost solely on the mining industry. Tbe population is iu tho neighborhood of 30,000, or less than ono to lhe square mile of ureu. If Yulo, Lillooet and Cariboo are made an olec toral district, it would be u natural division, about 200 miles wido and extending north from tbo international boundary line nbout 500 miles, Ita population is about 25.C30, 20,00 of whom livo in Yule, whicli has about the sumo urea us Kootenay. It would not be a gerrmundor to divide Mr, Bos- stock's district us outlined ubove, uud Mr. Bostock could not carry tlio Yalo- Lillooet-Curiboo district without a liard light, even if lie could curry it at all. If tho Luurior government, in thoir redistribution scheme, "gerrymander" nil tho districts in Canada, as fairly us tlio two outlined above, tho people will Imvo no cause for just com plaint. Scrap at Lac Lu Huclie- The following is takou from tlio Vicr toriu Times of thoolh inst: "A telegram from tlio Ill-Mile Heuso, Cariboo, dated tho 2nd, was received by tho Bpot'tlng Hditor of tho Times this morning. It states that on Sunday March 20th, Hoo Key and MoOonnoll met iu tho ring beforo tho Lac La Hucbe Athletic Club for u purse of 8-,-fQO. The light was going on merrily, uccording to lho dispatch, when il. wns stopped by the police iu the third round, ln round ono McCouncl got In two rights on Key's noso and received ono in return ou tho jaw, uud iu round two, afler Key hud got in a lolling upper cut, the men clinched nnd wero only separated us the gong sounded. Round three just commenced wheu tho police interfered, but tho men ro fused to quit. A posso proceeded to take them prisoners und demolish tho olub. Somo twenty pcrsous wero injured in tiio melee. Tho telegram further states that at tho trial tho principals were fined und thutstibsequeutly tlie club recovered 8100 damages to the building and paraphernalia.- All bets were declared olf, but tho men aro to meet again on April lltth. "The dispatch is signed 'Gibbous nod I'ujia, managers Lac La Hacho Athletic. Club,'received by tho C.P.U. telegraphs iu tho ordinary course, ull charges paid. Tho contents aro therefore published in good faith, but wbo Gibbons, or l.ajia, or Hoo Koy, or MoOonnoll aio, is not kuown totho Sporting Editor, Tho nows that thero is au athletic club at Lac La Hacho is also a surprise, But most astonishing of ull is that a "scrap" botwoon tho polico und ihe sports, a trial of tho principals iud auothor for the recovery of damages could all havo occurred even in Cariboo without any knowledge of tho olroumstauoes being known horo for a wholo week." Ihat tho Times would publish such stuff as news is surprising. Wo ropro- luce it solely as asamploof what somo of the Cariboo correspondence is. Ao- ording to tlio samo correspondent, "Chinese uro louving thiriboo iu droves aud tho bonollts of tho Alien Act nro apparent to nil." Not a Chinaman is leaving Cariboo except occasionally oue ou a visit to tho Piowory Kingdom.

Lady Harbortou, wbo is Treasurer of the Rational Dre.s League.said on the witness staud that she had traveled 1,000 miles in bloomers, including the West End of London.

A bout I1U0 to -150 pounds is tho usual estimate, lint tliis is below tbo mark. A full-grown lion will tip tho scale at no less than BOO pouuds. Five bun dred and forty pounds is tho record for an African lion. Uis bono is solid and heavy as ivory. Tho tiger runs the lion very close. A Beugal tiger, killed two yearn ago by nn English officer, scaled 520 pounds. A tiger of this size hus, however, considerably greater muscular strength Lhau the biggest lion.

The grizzly boar is Ihe largest und musl powerful of all lhe hour tribe, but his cousin, tho cinnamon bear, runs Iiim very close: and tho big white polar bear, though uot ■ally so dangerous a customer, is capable of performing the most extraordinary feats of strength.

Thomas Kei-no, of Spences Bridgo, wns in town Thursday. Mr. Kerno says that the big slide still obstructs tbo rivor below towu, aud some daningo will be dono by it at high water this sprint.. A "Candy Social" will bo given in tho Parsonage Tuesday, April lltll, under the auspices of tho Methodist Ladies' Aid society, Ashcroft. Collection will betaken. Opou nt 7.30 p, m. All are cordially invited to attend. Fred Foster came up to Ashcroft on Wednesday aud roports his father, Mr. F. W. Foster, as improving in health but still quito sick. He dosu't oxpect to be ablo to como up yet for some weoks. His trouble has boon an aggravated attack of lagrippe. Although tho price of copper is slightly fallen sinco the beginning of last month, the extraordinary boom in coppor is still tho sensation of the metal market, If the presont price of 817.50 is maintained, and thero seonis no reason why it will not be, it means that the vuluo of evory copper mino in tho world has been moro than doubled in tho lust six months. Tho Rosslund Record says: "If twenty families or more iu Rosslnnd who uro employing Chinese cooks will agree lo givo good competent girls the places nt the going wages for a period of six months, tho Record will engage to obtain thom. If you nro sincere ubout preferring good girls to Chinamen hero is an opportunity for showing it." Whoro do you keep thom, Brother Smith. • Tho body of D. McCaig, awoll-known resident of lower Okanagau, was found Friday, in bis cabin, nbout midway botween Pontioton and Fairview. Douth had evidently occured somo dnys previous, and from tho fact that a bottle of strychnine was found in closo proximity to tho body, au inquest was considered necessary. Dr. Morris hns gono down to hold nn inquiry into tbe cause of his death.—Vernon News. Men who court for long periods ought to tako warning from tho futo which has ovortakon a Welsh architect. Ho courted a young lady for eight years aftor "popping tho question," and then changed his mind. Tho coin-;, has decided that this man's fickleness was worth fivo h undred dollars to tho young lady. Tho mun who lourts oight yoars should bo ready for somo sort of trouble. Tlio mnny old Cariboo frionds will bo pained to learn of tho death at tho Provincial homo in Kamloops of Richard Hough. Mr. Hough had only been iu the homo about a weok, having also spent a week in the hospital after leaving Ashcroft two wooks ngo. Ho was buried on Tuesday at Kamloops. Ho was a man much respected whero so long known in Curiboo. His death was not unexpected, he having beon a long timo in poor health. A. E, Leuthnm, an Englishman of means, wbo bas beeu stopping at tbo Cargilo Houso for the past few days, loft on Thursday with Win. Manson us his guide, for tho headwaters of tho Bridgo rivor, after grizzly bear. He will undoubtedly soe and havoa chance to bag somo of tho animals for Munson has nn assortment in that section and he takes up a party or two every season who, wo believe, havo never failed to And big game. Johu Collins contemplates a trip to Atlin soon. The recreation grounds uro now iu good condition. Business nt Vancouver and Victoria is reported as vory quiet by commercial mon. Evory body attond tho ball next Thursduy night. Thore will bo good music and u good attendance. Dr, Burgess is busy Idling, extracting and doing uny und nil kind of dental work at the Aslicrolt hotel. Somo of our strong mon advise tbo uso of tho dumb bells, provided by tho committee, i'or siukovsin fishing,others suy they aro not heavy onougb. How about our now school houso? It Bhould bo under wuy boforo this timo if it is to bo completed beforo tho noxt session of tbo school, whioh it should be by all means. lt is reported tbat Aguinaldo, tho in sui-gent leader, has boon supplanted by General Antonio Luna, com in under-in chief of tho Filipino forces. Luun is described us boiug a typical rebel. And now we believo it is pretty generally conceded around Ashcroft that nlthough tho Attorney General is not in nil respects liko George Washington, yot he did it with his little Alton Act. O, A Semliu, Premier, is at homo for a few days rest and is enjoying hiui solf among old friends nnd acquaint auoes. Ho is looking woll und tho cares of stato affairs seem to bo easily borne. Real estuto is 50 percent higher in Ashcroft thnn last full. At least dirt that was delivered for 50 cents per loud lust fall is now readily sold for 75 c_*ls, There is much demand for it by lot owners who uro preparing for a garden, Wo are in receipt of a letter from nn up country resident stating tbat tho reports so widely spread ubout a eertnin business mun being badly hurt by a runaway horse aro entirely untrue, As the Journal has not published nny such roport as the correspondent refers to, und hus not found any Hoods, burulug mountains, or reported herds of Chinamen leaving tho country, we do not feel called on to publish tho letter. A statement of the kind is soon forgotten. Wo aro in receipt of a detailed report of tho Luc La Hache prize fight by rounds, its principals, seconds, the peace officers named, etc., and tho after results. As it is of no particular interest except to the few who were parties to it wo do not find space for it this week. Correspondence on such subjects is not of general interest and is not very satisfactory copy as if not truo it should not bo published and if true cortainly should not be. At tho end of tho month Mr. James Haddock will sever his connection with F, W. Foster's store ufter a continuous service of nearly thirteen years. Duriug this time Mr. Haddock has been a hard working employee ond few men in tbis vicinity havo been so close business men at ull times as hus Mr. Haddock. Ho hus not as yet fully decided whut ho will engage in but it will no du-.bt be some kind of business in Ashcroft. His many old friends wish him prosperity in any event. Messrs. Warner, Oakley and Kirk' wood, all employees of tho Cariboo mino, loft by special B. C. X. on Thursday morning for the Cariboo mine, Mr. Warner is the ougineor for tho Compauy, Mr. Oukley secretary and Mr. Kirkwood stenographer. One ronson that Mr. J. li. Hobson does bis work in so thorough a manner, so much so thut his past four years' work in Cariboo challenges the admiration of any mining mun, is thut ho has help tbat can intelligently curry out bis plans, aud tho abovo mentioned gentlemen are among bis most valued assistants, The Herald's stock of poems on beau tif til spring und kindred subjects has been onref ully wrupped up in blankets aud placed in tbo warmest corner of the ofllce. Wo bavo come to the con. elusion thut thoro is no uso in getting gup simply becauso ono can seo a fow patches of green grass and bear a lone robin sing. It has been firmly im- pressed upon our mind that at this timo of year it may snow in the "^morning, or It may be so warm tbat ono drops rapidly into tho first stages of spring fever. March is a peoular month in tho Kootouays.—Cranbrook Horald. Honry Cargilo is reported by Vancouvoi* papers as having beon out to soo a mining claim noar Atlin soon ufter bis arrival. Tho prico askod was 850, which Mr. Cargile agreed to pay but not oaring to let tho party know that ho bad money with him told him his money was ut his cabin and bo would pay him tho noxt day. When Mr, Cargilo and his partner retired at night they did not mako a light in their cabin but wont to bed. During tho night 81,080 wus takou from undor his pillow. Whon daylight enme thoy could seo that tbo cabin had beon overhauled aud oven tho ground dug up by someone in search of tbo money. It bad been done beforo thoy went to bed the night bofore.
