Japanese Are Rapidly Closing In on Their Adversaries. baltle at Liao Yang. One of the explanations of the restoration of the Port Arthur railway suggested here, Is thnt the landing of llie Japanese at Pitsewo was interrupted hy a gale and that they were compelled to retire to the coast. Another explanation Is that tlie Japanese are allowing the line to remain open for the removal of non-combalants from Port Arthur prior to a bombardment According to a telegram from Shanghai, genernl Kouropatkin is making a general concentration of troops at Mao Tien LJflg pass, whore the next great battle is expected to take place. The Standard's correspondent at Tien Tnin considers that the procedure of the Chinese government requires careful observation. He says he does not desire lo appear as an alarmist, but he thinks that China's military activity and the accumulation of funds in Pekin nre not entirely unconnected with the Russian scare and that tlie powers would be wise to strengthen their positions and .to watch every movement closely, The Daily Chronicle's correspondent at Shan Hai" Kwan, under date of May 10th, says that the Japanese flrst army from the Yalu river, is already threatening the Russian position at Hsal Cheng. The second army'marching in three divisions, in order to co-operate with general Kuroki, has defeated the Russians near Waug Tien with great loss, tho correspondent says. He adds the Japanese artillery was splendidly handled. The Dally Chronicle notes that there are two Waug Tiens, one on the railway north of Port Arthur, 20 miles from Pitsewo, and the other 40 mllea west of Kalplng, on the road to Feng Wang Cheng.

RUSSIAN PEOPLE AREjERY EASILY ELATED Pleased Because Communication With Port Arthur Has Been Re-Established, Although the Elation is Sobered by Japanese Activity in Eastern Manchuria -Kuroki Overtakes Enemy and Compels Him to Fight * ALEXIEFF WANTS A SAY •I* Paris, May 11.—The St. Pelers- •I- burg correspondent of the Echo •h de Paris, says: /'Vice admiral •I- Skrydloff aud vice admiral Baz- •1- obrazoff have been notified of the •%• resumption of commuieations •b with Port Arthur, and that they •!• may reach that plnce.

The elation of the authorities, a natural consequence of this achievement, is sobered by official despatches Bhowtng tlio activity of the Japanese In eastern Manchuria, Juang Fen Sian, (Huang Tinng Sia), 50 miles northeast of Feng Wang Cheng, was occupied by the Japanese on April 6th. This enables an advance along the bad roads to the flank, either at Liao Yang or Mukden. The territory between the main road to Feng Wang Cheng anil the river Tayang, lias been penetrated by such a strong force of Japanese us to lead to the suggestion that another army haa landed at Taku Shan, of which tlie outside world has not. before heard. Tho activity of the Japanese, however, has been expected and, therefore, has not diminished the satisfaction felt at the opening of com? mini lea i Cons with Port Arthur. Tho .siatt awiiurfc from npsaimlsm to optimism regularly as a pendulum and Alexleff's despatch produced a feeling among the people that the defeat at the Yalu river and Iho interruption of communications with Port, Arthur should not have been takon so seriously ns genernl Kouropatkin never had any Intention of making a stand on the Yalu, that the attempt to cut. off Port Arthur was an absolute feature of tiie enemy's plan of campaign and was hound to occur sooner or later and that the Russians should he thankful that they had time lo prepare for tho defense of Port Arthur until general Kouropatkln could relieve it. The people naturally wish for more details concerning the re-establishment of communications witli Pbrt Arthur. All they know definitely Is that the railroad has beon repaired and that at fi o'clock yesterday afternoon the first despatch passed over tho re-constructed telegraph. There probably has been some lighting, but whether with tho Japanese vessels or with Ihe troops north of Pitsewo, it is not known, nor have the whereabouts of the Japanese landing on tlie southern part of the Liao Tung peninsula boen definitely established. It ts safe to say, however, that no engagement of importance has occurred In order to re-establish communications. Undoubtedly news of such a victory would promptly be made public, owing to the state of the temper of tho people tonight. All Impatience arising from general Kouropatkln's gradual withdrawal has disappeared. Tlie Japanese, seeing that the withdrawal was thorough, and with tlie care that has distinguished their past operations, making sure that no Russians wero left behind, cut tho vital lino of communications. The Japanese division operating, inny be Ave and may bo six miles east of Ayangho, must not be confused with the Pitsewo army, because he latter debarked on May 6th, If a third army had landed at Taku Slinn it could have moved to Feng Wang Cheng and flanked Iho Russians in caso general Kuroki had encountered strong opposition. Tlie suggestion of another Japanese debarkation Is discredited. The forces acting independently are believed to be attached to general Kuroki's army. Whether an army was landed or not, the fact was Impressed upon the Associated Press by a member of the general staff that Iho Japanese nre placing southern Mauchuria absolutely under control before beginning a forward movement, thus guarding against Cossack raids. Whether general Kuroki Intends to move on Llao Yang and Hsal Cheng, has not yet developed though the latter now does not appear so probable in view of the (tec pa tell of a force to Kuuugln- sien. The marching on Hsal Chong is nol so Important as It would have been had Iho Russians continued lo occupy New Chwang. General Kuroki, ln the view of an authority here, undoubtedly Is Informed of iho preparation (or the evacuation of New Chwang and knows thnt tho Russian force operating on tbo Liao Tung peninsula would promptly retire should ho advance to Hsal Chong. In tho light, of these cons Id orations he may determine to boldly march to Llao Yang either by tho northern road or on the rond by which tlie Russians retreated, ♦ THE JAPANESE ADVANCE ♦ London, May 11.—Tbe Shang- ♦ hai correspondent of the Morning ♦ Post, under date of May 10, says ♦ that the Japanese army is advan- ♦ cing in three divisions—tho first ♦ from Feng Wang Cheng, to- ♦ wards Liao Yanf, the second from ♦ Polandien and Chuchon to Yung ♦ Yao Chang, and the third from ♦ Sullen Cheng to occupy Kulien- ♦ shin, with tbe object of severing ♦ communication with the rear of ♦ Liao Yang where only small pre- ♦ parations for defense have been ♦ made. ♦ Spencer Wilkinson Is an article ♦ in the Morning Post thinks there ♦ is no inherent probability iu the ♦ foregoing suggestion.

But Mr. Wilkinson adds it is impossible to say whether the Shanghai despatch is based on guesswork or on authentic information. ♦ ♦ ♦♦»<►♦♦♦♦♦< and along which he has sent scouting parties, Reports of Revere engagements which are not officially confirmed, probably grew out of skirmishes along the Yalu river before lieutenant general Sassulltch's retirement Information which was received by tbe emperor set at rest all rumors affecting the Vladivostock squadron. Tho Associated Press was authorjftatively informed today that there is absolutely no intention on the part of vice admiral Skrydloff to order an. attempt to make a conjunction with tho Port Arthur squadron, The squadron will use Vladivostock as a base, for raids, but will be preserved Intact until IU; Baltic fleet ar-- rives in the Paclflc when K will proceed to sea and report to admiral Rojestlnv- qky at a certain point, selected. The Associated Press is further informed that tho garrison ut Port, Arthur Is stronger than heretofore has beon stated, "There is no reason to keep the Strength of the garrison at Port Arthur a secret," said the Informant of the Associated Press. "The Japanese know il because of their perfection information. We have 20,000 soldiers and 10,000 sailors there. The latter will not bo used on the fortifications excepting as a last resort. The Japanese will not obtain possession of our fleet, even if they capture Port. Arthur. The orders to tho commander there aro that he shall. when a fall is inevitable, put to sea and engage the enemy. We do not propose for the Japanese to find in the harbor a number of valuable warships which they can add to their fieet. Moreover, in battle tho Japanese will suffer as well as our ships, and those of the latter which do not escape will go down to the bottom." RUSSIA GUESSING HARD. Papers Wondering How Long the Japanese Will Win. St. Petersburg, May 10.—Alhough It is hardly credited here, as It is known that general Kouropatkin is withdrawing his advance posts along the Mnn- churian littoral on Llao Yang, it is announced this morning from Mukden that the railway between Port Arthur and Liao Yang has been repaired and is working to Hal Cheng, north of Now Chwang, Tlie latter place is already reported to have been ovacuated^but there is nohtlng official on this point. The Russian garrison still remains at New Chwang, hut, the abandonment of that place is said to only be a question of a few days. An army organ says the Russians are retiring on Liao Yang, leaving temporarily, the defence of Port Arthur to the naval squadron and garrison. The organ also says that the Japanese have already landed at Taku Shun, west of the Yalu river, thus assuring a Junction between genernl Kuroki's army and the Japanese forces on the'peninsula. The army organ thinks the force disembarked al Taku Shan is probably a part, of the third army, concerning the mobilization of which tlie Japanese have so sedulously spread misleading reports. It commends tlio retirement from Feng Wang Cheng, which it considers to be of no stateglcal Importance. There Is a complete absence of official information. The authorities are as silent as the grave concerning general Kouropntktn's plans, only declaring that his tactics would ho vindicated by the roporl of iho appearance of the enemy at Kwan Tlon Sion, on tho Mukden road. The news from tho Yalu causes some disquietude. Tho report Is three days old. Only small detachments of infantry nnd cavalry then appeared, but it is possible that thev were advance skirmishers of genernl Kuroki's division who were sent northward to protect the Japanese right flank.

Moderation and caution are now the principal orders of the day for all tbe European governments." The Bourse Gazette remarks: "It is not given us to know how long the night will last, but we know the morning will come. It Is not only a question of the far east, but of our position in Asia and in the world. Our great development sir.ee the Crimean war is not to be destroyed by the Japanese army penetrating into Manchuria," The ftdmralty declares positively that the report of the destruction of the armored cruiser Rurik is false. SCOUTS EXCHANGE SHOTS. Several Encounters Between the Opposing Outposts. St. Petersburg, May 10,—The general staff has received a despatch from major general Karkevltch, dated May 9, which says: "On May 5, our scouts discovered at Llao Yhaipuzo, 14 miles north of Taku Shan, on the left bank of the Talinher river, a Japanese detachment one regiment strong. During a fusllade with a line of Japanese sharpshooters, one Cossack was killed.

"On the folowing day, Japanese scouts appeared at Handajou, six miles south of Salitzaipudza, and in tho valley of the Sedseke river, near the mouth of the Sedeskhoghto. "According to Chinese information, Japanese detachments numbering three Infantry regiments in nil, are In the mountains 15 or 20 miles from Doy- anche." A telegram from general Karkevltch, dated May 8. reports that tbe Korean garrison of Pekton, on the Yalu river, consisting of 75 men lias surrendered to the Russian scouls in the town also giving up 700 pounds of food and forage prepared for the Japanese.

USEFUL JURY SYSTEM, The Vancouver Province devotes a leading article to the question whether the boasted British jury has not survived Its usefulness. Several exceedingly v upid verdicts have been rendered iu this province, hy which criminals whose guilt was obvious have escaped the piin- bhments which they richly merited. The Province votes for Judicial verdicts rather than for those of the twelve good men and true. The Province seems to forget that if twelve men sometimes render unexpected and what it is pleased to term "stupid" verdicts, one man may be ro- IkU on, even though he ts a Judgo, io Sunlight Soap brightens and cleanses everything it washes Quite as £!Ood for cleaning household utensils as washing clothes. 12B occasionally do the same. Because the Jury system occasionally works out In What appears tf) be the wrong way It should not he condemned. Centuries of tlio institution have proven its worth and have also proven in a majority of canes that its verdicts are founded upon just and equitable ground and that it is among the most reliable aud valuable nf our legal Institutions, the palladium of our liberties. The only ones perhaps, who would like lo have the jury abrogated are a feu- judges who desire to have, If possible, their powers extended to limits beyond that vMrii would be safe or conducive lo the best Interests of the public, AFTER DISHONEST PROMOTERS The careers of promoters, who use dishonest methods in the manipulations of the companies lhey float, have not been a3 easy of late in London, as they would wish them to he.

Such freebooters as these, and in most instances they are nothing else, should be made an example of to the end that Investors be not robbed when they put their money Into what they consider to be legitimate industrial and mining enterprises, but which are often simply "gold brick" schemes, and intended for the purpose of catching the unwary. -Thieves of this character should he very severely dealt with, and the evident intention of the British authorities is to prevent iu the. future the species of fraud committed by the dishonest promoter. With a few more convicitions, doubtless will come an abatement of the evil. OCCIDENT AND ORIENT CANADA THB PATHWAY AND THE HALF-WAY HOUSE General Kouropatkin seems to be an officer of the same type as general Geo. D. McClellan, who had n wonderful reputation as a tactician. For months general McClellan tried to get the army of tho southern Confederacy into a cretain position so that, he could crush It, but the trouble was that the enemy would not put. itself into just tlie posture desired by the union general. The result was such a fruitless campaign that the federal authorities finally" became discouraged and put. another general in McClellan's place. General Kouropatkln is trying to get lieutenant-general Kuroki's forces in the right kind of a position, but the wily commander of the Japanese troops refuses to put his forces in the deBlred posture.

Tho Chancellor said that Canada was the highway between Europe iuiiI Asia and standing between two great world forces the dominion would linvo to bear the brunt, whether in war, or commerce, or civilization and truth to other lands Wo havo not as yet taken advantage of tho unique position we occupy as tho pathway and half way house between Europe and Asia, but it Is gratifying to know that wo are at the beginning of a new day. Tho llgures of the distance between Liverpool and Yokohama across Canada havo been given beforo, but they are well worth -repenting at the present moment, when parliament is engaged hi giving its sanction to a measure which will transmute a dream into a reality: Lverpool to St John, N.B ., 1,980 St. John to Quebec 3tM Liverpool to Quebec 8,634 Quebec to Paclllc coast ..J. 11,280 San Francisco to Yokohama 4,536 The distances hy United States routes arc ns follows: Liverpool to New York New York to Sun Francisco San Francisco to Yokohama 4,636 We thus have by way of St. John a distance from Liverpool lo Yokohama of 8,820 miles, as compared with 10,165 by way of New York, The ocean distances arc those given In the Century Atlas, and there Is tho additional Information given there that the. sallng time from Vancouver to Yokohama is fourteen days and from San Francisco to Yokohama sixteen days. This Is the advantage that wc gain from our northerly position on the globe. Tbe direct Hue from San Francisco to Yokohama would involve a Journey of 4,791 miles. By sailing northwesterly to the 48th parallel the San Francisco steamers cut 255 miles from the distance. Starting from a, more northerly port, vessels from Canadian harbors save n still greater distance An advantage which will be a considerable one is the rond Canada is about to construct will bo built with the consciousness that it is to be ono of the greatest highways between tho east nnd west. Canada's new transcontinental rnll- way will have two great purposes which are not only inconsistent, but are, Indeed, complementary to ench other. It will, as has been snld,he the rail section between tho west and the awakening enst, and It will also double the habitable portion of the dominion. As it goes through an unsettled laud It will be able to choose lo a great extent the most direct routes, the best grades, the easiest curves. From ocean to ocean It will be under one management—indeed, there is tho certainty that from the shoroa of Britain to the shores Of Japan, Asia, travellers and goods will he under tho care of ono great company. Altogether our now railway should be in an unapproachable position to compete for the vast commerce that Is already Ketllng ln a great current westerly and easterly. Someone may say, what of the Panama eannl'.' Much of the traffic between the Occident and the orient will go by Panama. But Panama Is longer than the Canadian route by 3,600 miles.

MAY 11, 1904 The Spyglass Mining & Development Company, Ltd NELSON, BRITISH COLUMBIA THIS COMPANY OPERATES THE SPYGLASS GROUP OF MINERAL CLAIMS, LOCATED IN THE FAMOUS POPLAR CREEK GOLD CAMP, TROUT LAKE MIXING DIVISION, AVEST. KOOTENAY, BRITISH COLUMBIA. THE COMPANY IS CAPITALIZED AT $500,000, DIVIDED INTO 500,000 SHARES HAVING A PAR VALUE OF $1 EACH. THE SHARES ARE FULLY PAH) AND NON-ASSESSABLE. THERE ARE 400,000 SHARES IN THE TREASURY. THE RENO SPYGLASS GROUP The Richest Property in a Gamp of Many Rich Mines--There is Not a Stronger or Richer Ledge in the Wonderful Poplar Creek Goldfields than the Spyglass Lode This is the Unanimous Opinion of Every Expert Who Has Visited the Group-It Carries Ore That Consists of Gold and Native Silver and Assays Hundreds of Dollars to the Ton Tho celebrated property is owned by tho Spyglass Mining & Development Co., mnde up of somo of tho best informed mining men in llie Kootenays, who are noted for having never made a serious mistake SO far ns mining is eoneerned. They consider that thoy have in the Spyglass group the best mining enterprise they hnve yet embarked in. They hnve been fortunate in every venture they havo so fnr gone into, und are certain to succeed in the present instance. Thoso who invest in the shnres of the company nre sure to mnko a profit and to share in the good luck of tho management. A few shares havo been placed on the market. Cnll nt the office of Ihe Spyglass compnny if you want to get in on the ground iloor of nn enterprise that is sure to succeed. Since Engineer Sharp visited the property a winze was started in the bottom of the tunnel. Tlie winze reveals ore of phenomenal richness, carrying values in nntive silver associated with free gold. In the development of the Spyglass proporty no expensive machinery will he required to got out the ore, as the location of the mine is favorable to its being worked on an economical basis, with tunnels. One carload of Spyglass ore such as that from which assay returns hnvo been received ought to net from !f*4,000 to $5,000. It is almost certain that under favorable conditions mines of the character of the SPYGLASS can be put early on n dividend paying basis; this is because such ore is in constant demand by smelters, nnd is paid for on delivery, nfter being sampled. It is reasonable to say there is no field of investment that offers ouch favorable opportunity for a safe and satisfactory rate of interest and advance on the principal invested as the phenomenally rich mining camp of Poplar Creek, British Columbia.

(From Printers' Ink.) Iu IIiIh tenntry there are severnl thousand clothing merchants in cities of from 5,000 lo 50,000, who use from four lo Bix Inches of space, single column, nnd write their own advertisements. Some i.f them change the advertisements every ■lay nnd fill the space with good, business-bringing ads. A great many of i hem change their ads but once a week, tint] iho copy used is so poor that they fail to get a fair return for their investment The major part of these merchants know that advertising is of tremendous value in building up a business quickly, and that the ads ought to bo changed frequently—daily—but the work of constructing a good, readable attd convincing ad is apparently so difficult that they content themselves with - dashing off something once a weGk that does not do their goods justice. If a merchant loves his clothing—nnd no one can hope for any considerable success in business unless he does love his goods—he will be thoroughly familiar with every detail of every garment he handles. This knowledge will enable him to talk intelligently and enthusiastically to a customer; to show off to the best advantage, nny pleco under consideration. Now, the arguments, language and enthusiasm that will induce a customer to purchase an article will, when placed In an ad, influence those who are interested in the line of goods offered to come to your place of business io investigate, and of course this is the principal thing expected of retail advertising. I am going to offer a few 1'ingestions and criticisms, nnd n work- lug model that may prove of value to 'bow who experience difficulty in preparing copy. In considering the subject, we should first lake account of the six principal factors, outside of the personality of the proprietor and clerks, that, make for the permanent success of the business. They !>rc: First, rpiality; second, style; third fit; fourth, durability; fifth, holding shape; sixth, price. Let us first, consider what you are go- ing to tell vour customers In regard to these six things, and what you know phont them, or outfit to know about (hem. You are constantly talking about ibnm hi your store! they should make t.Mr Influence felt in your ntlfl. First—Quality, What do you know nbout the fabrics that outer into the nauitfncture of the clothing you handle? A-e thev Imported or domestic? If imported why aro they better. If any, than tbo domestic? Do you know where tbe belt wool Is produced, how It is treated, rt.op by step, from the time it leaves l'"> sheep's buck until It is the form of r'oth Have you a general idea of what n-pcnutlnuH nre tnken in the coloring of r* niece of cloth to insure permanency of " dor nnd to avoid the rotting of the (' leads? What process is the cloth put tVone-b beforo cutting up for clothes to r-MStfj fiBflinst shrinkage aud consequent. r'-inj-flon? What, methods aro employed in Ihe factory where your goods are manufactured to insure perfect workmanship? Finally, could you take a piece of cloth tlint I might bring you and. by examining it carefully, tell mo the kind and grade and approximate its wearing value? All of this information which 1 know would bo Invaluable in your business and in your ads, your manufacturers would be glad to furnish, or you fould secure Ihe most of it from some textile school. Thero is nothing that so inspires confidence in, and enthusiasm for, ouo's goods aa a I borough knowledge of them, and confidence Is contagious. Second—Style. Is this year's style materially different from that of last year? Is the coat, shorter or longer? Are tho shoulders broader and higher, or is the tendency towards a slope? What change, if any, lias there been made in the cut of iho waistcoat? Are the legs of the .trousers to be oul fuller during tlie present season? Wbat Is there new in fcabrlc designs? and what kind of gods Is going to be the mode? The answers to these questions nre of Interest to nearly every possible purchaser. Third—Fit. A garment, mny fit perfectly and lack style, but style without n good flt is hardly conceivable. Does the coat flt around the neck, across and on ton of the shoulders and under the arms? Are your garments so constructed thnt they hang easily and gracefully and if so, why? Aro you prepared to accommodate short, stout or toll, thin men? If a garment does not fit in every particular, but in other ways Is desirable, are you prepared to quickly make Ihe trilling changes necessary to insure a nerfect-fitting garment? Fourth—Durability, What can you sav In regard to the durability of the different kinds and grades of goods that vou have in stork? Have yon any customers to whom you cnn point as having secured unusual wear out (tf a suit of clothes from your store? Are you willing to reimburse a patron if he does not get value received, nnd havo you the courage tn mnko this statement a pnrt of your ad? Durability Is an important conisderation with nearly every buyer of ready-to-wear clothing, nnd its value ns a trade puller should not be overlooked. Fifth—Holding Shape, One of ihe chief objections, a few years ago. to ready-made clothing was, thnt after be- ine worn a few times it lost Its shape and thnf no amount, of pressing would restore it. Doubtless this objeriion has been overcome to a great extent and pos- siblv your manufacturer mav be in the lend. What, special methods does he employ in treating Iho cloth, cutting and malting thr garments to insure permanency of correct form? If a, suit, becomes a trifle soiled or mussed, will you Spnngfi and press il free? Sixth—Price. Price lias its value and It becomes very powerful when a small prico Is attached lo extra quality, Stntwl- fn<T alone, without an idea of the quality of the goods belnir conveyed, It Is menn- Ineless and devoid of drawing power. It necessarily follows thai you must flrst convince the buying public (hat your goods pOBSP«8, in an eminent degree. quality, style, fit, durability and per- manc.v of shape. Thev are Iheu roidy to credit, your statement thnt tbo price Is as low ns is consistent, with safe business conduct, Now for the method that will enable yen io pni your IbouthiJ ia form for the advertisement. First jot down, on a slip of paper, the names of t!8 articles that you think would be the proper ones to call attention to during the next four weeks. You see this calls for a different ad every day, and this Is surely none too often to present the merits of your goods. With the completion of the list you bave one of tho most difficult parts of the work off of your hands, for It generally takes more time to decide what shall be advertised than to prepare tho copy, once the decision is made. Suppose tlie first, item on the list is a spring overcoat. Stop, for a moment, and think what you said to your last customer wbo wanted to purchase nn overcoat. What did you say about the quality of the goods, style of cloth, color and cut; the way it filled him in those places that are usually difficult to fit; your guarantee In regard to its wear; the probability of its holding its present shape until well worn, nnd, finally, the price, which you doubtless assured him was very low, taking everything into consideration? What you said to him Will make a god advertisement when condensed sufficiently for your spaco. In your store you talk to but one customer at a time. You concentrate upon him; give him your undivided atention; that Is tho only way yon could hope to sell goods. Successful orators siate that they pick out some one in the audience and address their remarks to him. That is tlie way to write ads. Select some customer and tell him. in imagination, all about tbe article you have to offer, then write it down quickly—it will be a good ad nnd have the right ring to it. Don't try to think how your argument is going to sound; you will find that out when you read it over. Just keep your mind fixed upon your customer and Ihe many admirable and incomparably valuable features of what you are trying to soil him. I feel sure that if you follow this method for a short time you will bo surprised at the ease and facility wllh which you nre able lo express yourself, and tho few moments that it. will lake you. after a littlo practice, to write a convincing, business bringing ad will bo tho most valuable of any employed. In regard to display, I can do no better than lo recommend Ihe teachings, on this subject, of Printers' Ink. Just ft word in respect, to headings. They should bo something that plainly name or suggest the line of goods offered. Probably over ninety per cont of the men and boys wear more or less ready- made clothing, and doubiless the major nart of them are influenced In their buying by wives or mothers, so that the majority of the people are. interested in the line of gods you handle, and you do not have to resort to tricks lo get. their attention. Onco establish a reputation hy advertising and fair dealing, and you aro assured of a very large audience tbat Is always ready to listen lo what vou have lo offer. K. J). SNOW. KBW8 OF YMIR.

A FEARFUL EXPERIENCE A Granby Miner Buried for Hours Undor Many Tons of Ore. [Special to The Daily News.] Phoenix, May 10—What Is currently believed to be one of the mosi remarkable cases of rescue from disaster in a mine on record was accomplished here yesterday In the Granby mines. A man was buried for 21 hours in an ore shoot, with hundreds and perhaps thousands of tons of ore on top of him, and yet ho was taken out alive aud comparatively uninjured. Saturday morning nbout S o'clock, William Hall, a miner employed at the Granby mines, was walking across the top of tho No. fi raise to tho No. 1 tunnel of the Knob II1I1 mine, Tiie shoot bad been filled for some time, but It was seemingly not known Hint the ore hnd boon gradually taken away from beneath, leaving a thin and treacherous crust of ore, as it wer.e at the top. As Hall went over It, the whole mass went down, and he was quickly engulfed ami covered up by the pitiless chalcopyrite, which closed In on him on all sides. The alarm wan soon given, however, and many willing hands were at work in no time, digging out the unfortunate miner, led by superintendent Williams and foreman Dermody, It was dlllleiilt to make much headway In the work of rescue owing to the nature of the surroundings. Nevertheless, il was continued without Interruption until 5 or 0 o'clock Sunday morning when Hall was taken out and tenderly carried to the hospital. It was found that no bones bad been broken, but he had sustained bruises, and one leg was badly crushed, For nearly an entiro day Hall was lu his precarious position, and one whtch everyone at tlio mine and throughout ll.c city, wTiere the interest in the outcome was Intense, thought to have been fatal, or accompanied at best with fatal results. During all this time also he was conscious but tho draft through the mine workings mode lt bitterly cold "for him.

Superintendent Busteed of the C. P. R., said yesterday that the company would at once erect a station house at Poplar and would install a telegraph operator Just as soon as the bull-ding was finished. The new building will only be a rough temporary one, it being the intention of the railroad company to put up a more substantial affair later on. Residents of Poplar will be pleased at having one of their pressing needs attended to and doubtless will be well content witli the temporary building for tho season. If tho camp grows this summer as most people expect that it will the railway authorities will bo justified in erecting a more substantial building in the fall. The installation of a telegraph oporalor will be a great convenience all round, and will be of material assistance to city merchants in filling rush orders for goods.

Editor, The Daily News: To decide a bet please answer: A bets B that if an alien going to England and taking out papers and becoming a British subject comes to Canada thut he will have to take out, papers again before he can exorcise the prerogative of a citizen. BRITISHER. Ymir, May !), 1904. (A British subject, whether naturalized or native born, is a citizen of Great Britain or any of her dependencies. Once an alien has taken out his papers, therefore, be is a citizen of whatever part of the empire he may be in. Of course, if he goes io a new portion of the empire he Ib compelled to obtain a residence, just as a citizen from Ontario would ou coming to British Columbia, have to be a resident of the province for a certain period before he could vote. In Canada there Is a Canadian naturalization act copied from the British naturalization act, which gives exactly the same privilege to citizens whether they are naturalized or native born. Under tho Canadian naturalization act an alien has to be a resident for a period of three years before he can obtain citizen papers, but if the time Is less ln any portion of ihe empire it would not act as a bar here. All that would be needed would be the naturalization papers. A, therefore, loses the bet as it would not be necessary for an alien who became a citizen in England to again take out papers in Canada before he could exercise the right of a citlzon.)
