Wells arrived yeBterday afternoon from Ottawa and proceeded to Victoria. He says the statements of railway negotiations whioh he carried out in the east, aa contained in the press dispatches, are correct. Although a definite promise was not given, he is assured the government will assist in the construction of the Westminster bridgo, probably to the extent of a quarter of a million dollars or more. The Dominion will also assist, in the construction of the Coast- Kootenay line. Wells says the government will make a declaration of its railway policy on definite lines on the result of his eastern trip.

Mr. Mackenzie, the New Manager, Has Pledged His Reputation That the Cost Can Be Greatly Reduced- Mine Should Pay £25,000 a Month. . Ex-Governor Mackintosh has been interviewed in London concerning Mr. Frecheville's estimate of the Le Roi mine, and the general outlook for the future. Asked what he thought of Mr. Frecheville's*estimate of the ore in sight—4.84,000 tons—he replied: Very Conaervatlve.. f "Decidedly conservative. He has evidently omitted portions of ore bodies so far as measurement is concerned. Vast bodies of ore lying along the hanging walls do not appear to be taken into account, judging from the restricted dimensions of various veins as he gives them, but which are known to be much wider. I should say that there remain above the 900- foot level qiiite 400,000 tons of ore not taken into account by Mr. Frecheville." About 884,000 Tana. "Then the estimate stands thus with respect to the ore above the 900-foot level—ex-Governor Mackintosh, 884,000 tons, Mr. Frecheville, 484,000, Bernard Macdonald, 1,489,000 tons?" "Yes, I hold to my figure, which iB based on careful observation and will probably receive future justification." N«w H>n>|or'i Statement. Asked as to the cost of treatment per ton, Mr. Mackintosh said: "I happen to know'that responsible people have expressed their readiness to take the entire contract at a figure not to exceed $7.60 per ton. Mr. Mackenzie, the new manager, visited Rossland tome time ago. He then stated that he would ■take his reputation and position on his ability to treat the ore from the Le Roi at • figure not to exceed 97.60 per ton—probably 17." low Coat of T-Mtmoot. "The mine," added the governor, "has large bodies of ore averaging from £3 to £3 10s. per ton. During the put five years the cost of working—mining, transport, sup- pliea acid bmelling—has bsca de creased quite 75 per cent, and there has been scarcely any increase in the labor expenses. Very shortly the cost all round should not exceed $7,50 per ton." Moathlj DlTldcnda ol «__,ooo. Mr. Mackintosh finally expressed the opinion that with capable management the Le Roi should pay a monthly profit of about £25,000. AT THECONGRESS American Federation of Labor's Work. AN INTERESTING INCIDENT Child Labor Unsparingly Denounced —President Gompers Awakens Enthusiasm. Scranton, Pa., Dec. 13.—At the American Federation of Labor convention yesterday the proceedings were decidedly interesting. The Socialist incident came up in the morning session during the discussion of a committee report endorsing most of the recommendations contained in Mr. Gompers annual report. D. H. Hays, of Philadelphia, national president of the Glass Bottle Blowers, and Max Hays of the Cleveland Central Labor union, tbe well-known Socialist, made speeches strongly urging the enforcement of laws prohibiting child labor. The latter, during his remarks, read a list of decisions rendered by federal and state courts against organized labor. A motion to have the list print' ed in the minutes brought President Gompers, who was not in the chair at the time, to bis feet, and the delegates were treated to a three minute passionate speech. He said it was unfair to incorporate the list in the minutes io that way, and suggested that a list of trade union victories should be printed along with it. He concluded by denouncing the "attempt to show that trade unionism is a failure," and characterized it as an outrage. A wave of applause swept over the convention as Mr. Gompers took his seet. The motion was defeated and the recommendations of the president were adopted except the one referring to a general defense fund. The committee's suggestion that tbe fund be raised by national and labor unions instead of by the American Federation of Labor was adopted. Two resolutions were reported on ths question of organizing the common laborers into large unions, and both were recommended to be sent to ths executive council with instructions for that body to take up the matter and report to the convention.

WHAT THE TRIBUNE SATS TODAY The Water Rights Again Cawing Trouble at the Smelter—Pumping From Columbia River. The report whioh was seat to the World yesterday from North- port about the mutiny at the smelter appears to have been untrue in some particulars and greatly exaggerated in others. The Would printed the s___fs» ment in good faith, and at the time had good reason for believing the facts to be as published. The actual contition of affairs at the smelter do not require tbe publication of any fairy stories to make them worse than they really are and we are satisfied that some' radical changes will be made at the works before long. ,_ _. The Nelson Tribune today publishes the following dispatch from Northport dated last evening. . The Northport Smelting A Refining company' was compelled, to close down this morning for lack of water. Robert Morrill closed his dam on Deep creek and raised the ice off bis mill pond. The ice washed down tbe creek and choked up the intake to the smelter flume. The water in the traelter company's reservoir w«__ eyimusted before the smeltermen discovered, that the flume was out of order. One blast furnace was very nearly wrecked, the management estimate th. damage of the works at $4000.. The flume is cleared out and the smelter is working about half force this evening. The shut-off of the water today is the outcome ot a dispute over tbe Deep creek Water right between Robert Morrill and the smelter Company, The company is building a pumping station in the river at a cost of $20,000 for use whenever the Deep creek supply fails. Tbe expense of raising water from the riyer will be very large, and it is probable that the compaay will be forced to make terms with Morrill.

The government of New South Walei recently sent a special commissioner—an ex-judge—to thoroughly examine into and report on the working o! the New Zealand industrial law, particularly with reference to compulsory arbitration as a means of satisfactorily settling industrial disputes, and preventing strikes and lockouts. The report made by the commissioner was on the whole very favorable to the New Zealand system, and as a result the government of New South Wales has introduced and passed through the legislature an exceedingly stringent act, based on tbe New Zealand law as it stands today. The intention of this new legislation is to prevent the reoccurrence of strikes by the men and lockouts by the employers, which have proved so disastrous to the whole community in the past, by supplying a competent board of arbitration to deal with all disputes between employers and employes. The new court will be presided over by a judge of the supreme court, and will consist of three members. It will have power to declare a standard wage and to direct that other things being equal an employer shall give the preference to unionist over non-unionist laborers. ,, The labor commissioners in the state of Indiana, who have been enquiring into the working of conciliation and arbitration as a means of settling labor disputes have seot a report to the state legislature strongly recommending the enactment of a compulsory arbitration law as the best devised scheme for the purpose. Both in New South Wales and in Indiana the authorities have been engaged for some months in collecting all available information on the important subject dealt with, and it is only fair to suppose that the decisions eventually reached were only come to after mature deliberation. For the last six years, and more, New Zealand has so successfully demonstrated the practicability of the plan that other governments are being induced to try it, and the working out of the law in New South Wales will be watched with great interest the world over. that the spirit of trade unionism is 1 f\\ m * 1~ f%*ft <2k /c_P \\ 1 #•____, T*< m r% .*** f dead against loafing and laziness.

Bernard Macdonald was once credited by hia newspaper as the right man in the right place. He in nearly in bis right place now, so far aB Rosbland is concerned, but not quite. Just a little longer time and he'll get there sure enough. The British unions have at length determined not to let the London Times articles on tbe crisis in British industry pass unnoticed.

J. Frecheville, was received with moderate satisfaction by mining men. It did not come up to their highest hopes with regard to the condition of the mine, but it relieved them of the fears which had been Jostered by the secretive policy of the Whitaker Wright interests. — Spokesman- Review. Chief Justioe Sir S. H. Strong of the supreme court is charged with approaching Dr. Wicksteed in a threatening manner, indicating a desire to commit an assault. It is said that the provocation was an agitation conducted by Dr. Wicksteed to compel judges of the supreme court to Wear wigs: The agitation was not wholly in vain if it resulted in wigs on the green. Of course, an agitation of this kind does not justify an assault, but the incident shows that the democratic principles of our judges are as deeply rooted as their natural hair, and cannot be trifled with.—Toronto Globe. Another interesting page of the history of the metal market was made on Wednesday last when a new low record was made in copper prices at London. Quoted values there declined 15s. and closing prices were £54 7s 6d for spot and £54 5s for futures. The New York market, however, was nominally unchanged. London tin was £1 >7s Cd lower, closing at £110 15s for spot and £104 10s for futures. The New York market following the break in London with an additional impulse of larger spot supplies and a liberal amount of tin afloat, was fc lower, closing with spot quoted at $25.25 sellers, and weak at the decline. Lead was unchanged in New York at $4.37^ and London was unchanged at £10 15s. ' Spelter was quiet and nominally unchanged at New York at $4.45 and London was at last quoted at £16 7s. By the passage of the industrial arbitration bill through its final stages, the government of New South Wales, has placed a law upon the statute books, the work' ing of whioh will excite interest throughou the whole world. This bill not only compels the reference of all disputes bitween employers and employes to a competent court, with powers to enforce its orders and awards, but makes a strike or a lockout before or pending such reference a misdemeanor, punishable by a fine or imprisonment. The court which will pass upon these disputes is to be presided over by a judge of the supreme court, and will have molt extensive powers, including the power to declare a standard wage, and to direct tbat, other things being equal, an employer shall give preference to unionists over non-unionists laborers.

Lord Pennrhyn at once closed down the works and evicted all the employes from his property and nonunion employes were secured. In 1874 the union again secured a foothold among Lord Pennrhyn's employes, the works were again closed down and the employes boy- cottsd. This strike was confined on these lines until last October, when the union was joined by all the laborers and mechanics and the works closed down again.

C THE EVENING WORLD, ROSSLAND, B. C, DECEMBER 13, 1901 LE ROI'S FUTURE An Outside Opinion of Mr. Frecheville's Report. SOME FAVORABLE FEATURES The Good Values in the Lower Levels Likely to Improve- Probable Profits for the Past Two Years, Even on the present low value, however, the Le Roi is worth considerably more than what its British owners paid ior it. They gave about $3,500,000 to the Spokane company which owned the mine. They paid $£50,000 in dividends in November, 1899. No dividends have been paid since that time and the big property has been improved from the profits of the mine. During the past fiscal year, it is announced, the profits, amounting to $585,000, have been put in betterments at the mine and smelter. These betterments are now completed. The mine iB in magnificent condition so far as its surface works and smelter are concerned, and it is in shape to go ahead on the heaviest rate of shipping. It is conceded that the Le Roi was practically gutted when the British ownerB took over the property nearly four years ago. Much of the work since then has been in underground development, so as to get reserves of ore in Bight. There iB enough ore in sight to run for two years, on the basis of shipping 20,000 tons a month. That would give annual profits of $600,000, or roughly, 13 per cent, per year on the share capital. There seems to be no reason to believe that the mine will not con tinue to do as well for years to oome. The I.e Roi iB practically worked only, down to the 700-foot level. On the other hand.in view of the favorable reports from the bottom of the mine, where $15.75 ore had been found, there is reason to look for even better profits. Summing up the whole situation therefore, it is evident that the Le Roi ought to pay 14 per cent, or about $680,000 per year, for the next two years, with the chances of larger dividends in future. The most interesting thing about Mr. Frecheville's report was the statement as to the average value of ore in the mine. Mr. Frecheville Bays tbat there are 484,000 tons, worth $11.57 per ton. Grave fears had been expressed by some of the large English shareholders that the ore in the lower levels would not carry such values, and on that account tbe assurance by Mr. Frecheville aB to average values is exceedingly welcome. The average sounds low. Indeed it is low, and there are few big mines in the world where copper ore of such low value is treated unless by tbe aid of some concentration process in connection with the smelters. However, Mr. Frecheville announces that the future cost of treating the ore,smelting, including m'ning, need not exceed $9 per ton, so that there is a net value of $2.75 per ton. A most favorable feature of the report is the reference to the condition of the bottom of the mine. The existence there of a big body of $15.75 ors led to the belief that a better grade of ore may be found there, and indeed there is reason to look for the existence of other such bonanza shoots as made the Le Roi famous in the old days.

In the balmy days of last August when Barney was indulging in his little game of flag raising and cheque waving, Brother Cluett wagered Carpenter, Rossland's artistic photographer, a suit of Taylor & McQuarrie's very best make that "Barney would go" before the first of January. Barney having been deposed from the Le Roi, Carpenter has done his level best to collect the bet, but Cluett has maintained that the fallen manager of the Le Roi has really not gone up to the present moment and he has refused to order the tailors to go ahead with the suit. In fact he had a suit of his own against Carpenter this morning and the police magistrate did the measuring. Cluett complained that Carpenter thrashed him soundly in a well known bar yesterday, "without any provocation whatever." "What have you got to say about this," said thc police magistrate to the photographer this morning. "Well you worship," replied Mr. Carpenter, "it all turns qpon a wager that Mr. Cluett made with me last summer. He bet me a suit of clothcH that Macdonald would stay on as manager of the Le Roi and that he would not be gone from there by January 1st 1902. When the manager was dismissed I asked Cluett to pay up and he refused. We had some words yesterday and he called me a liar and I hit him. I slapped his face two years ago and heard he carried a gun for my benefit and thought he might have one now so I hit him in self defence with my fists." Cluett denied calling Carpenter a liar and asked for future protection. The police magistrate fined Carpenter $10 and told him he must collect hia debt if he had one in some other way.
