Annable. Dr. Rose, and W. W. Beer the Choice-Ticket Will be Completed Wednesday Evening The citizens' party have secured [our fctrong candidates tor the council of 1906. in J. Fred Hume, Aid. Annable, W. W. Beer and Dr. VV. O. Rose. The other positions will be tilled at the next meeting. It is almost assured that W. iBbbs will consent to stand in the east ward. A very strong appeal was made to Aid. Bird, who frankly explained the .business reasons1 which would necessitate his retirement for a year or two. but assured his most zealous support to the party's candidates. A suggestion to avoid an election for aldermen, If possible, by a union of citizens to select the six best available men was favorably commented upon, ibut after some discussion it was felt to be rather a counsel of perfection than a practical political move In the city's present circumstances. The meeting was well attended and enthusiastic and the reception of the names of the candidates was a guarantee of election The chairman called upon Aid. Bird tor a report from the committee on candidates. Aid. Bird stated that as a result ot his Interviews with many citizens, he hod no doubt that six good men could be secured to stand with Aid. Gillett. He had also discussed with the supporters of Aid .Malone the possibility of electing six aldermen iby acclamation, provided only that all should be known to he earnest for the city's interests. Before reporting for his committee he wished to know the opinion of Aid. Glllett's supporters as to the advisability ot following such a course. Aid. Olllett told of an Intel-view with Aid. Malone tn the morning, ln whioh be, Aid. Glllett hod urged that. If possible, six good men be selected for the council iby mutual agreement, irrespective of past or present municipal party affiliations, and that they be elected by acclamation. Aid. Malone had expressed approval of the suggestion but could only consent with the agreement of tils friends and supporter*. Aid. Annable expressed his approval of Aid. Bird's suggestion. He hoped to see factional reeling abolished and thought that a mutual arrangement would ibe the Quickest and easiest way to secure harmony and unity among the citizens, to secure united effort for the attainment of the city's objects. W. Ebbs endorsed the -principle ol unanimous elecilon. He thought, that such a course would be highly creditable to the citizens and would make for harmony, and efficiency ln the administration of the city's business especially as there was no issue to necessitate an election. ■D. iM. Carley expressed approval but suggested that the two candidates for the mayoralty 'should be allowed to name three aldermen each. Aid. Bird explained that Aid Malone had stated that in his party's Interests he could not entrust the task to a smaller committee than 20, composed of ten of each party. W. W. Beer said that Aid. Bird's suggestion had often occurred to him before. He had no doubt a much better board could he obtained hy selection . than 'by election. E. Ferguson approved but regretted that the selection of a mayor could not be made in the same manner. Charles Mackay followed endorsing the plan urging that if possible the city should show a united front to the West Kootenay Power & Light company. In reply to question Aid. Bird explained that the preliminary agreement called for unanimity on the selection of aldermen, the negotiations to be dropped If such should be found Impracticable, A motion was offered by E. Ferguson, and seconded by Aid. Bird, tbat Aid. Glllett be empowered to name a committee ot ten men to confer with the opposition as to means of selection. J. A. Turner surrendered thc chair to Aid. Annable and took tho floor. He declared himself opposed to the suggestion. He considered Aid. Glllett already elected, and thought the chances of securing a good council would not ibe 1m- proyed by allowing Aid. Malone's supporters to name three. Since an election was forced upon Aid. Gillett ho urged that six supporters should be placed in the council with htm as he had no doubt they could be. Aid. Bird defended his proposal submitting that lt Implied no surrender by either party. A general discussion followed, participated ln by W. Ebbs, W. Allan. John Macleod, who strongly endorsed J. A. Turner's stand; C. Mackay, who proposed the selection of three aldermen (rom eaeh side without reference to the opposing party; D. M. Carley, who said there wore many objections to a compromise; J .Gordon, who thought the Offer might be construed as a sign of weakness, and was certainly a recognition of parties in the council. An amendment was offered by D. M. Carley, seconded 'by John Macleod. that no compromise be accepted. F. J. Deane warmly supported the amendment on the ground that the victory was already won, that an offer of compromise was a sign of -weakness, and ^ would probably be vain ln any event. Aid. Bird urged the dropping of party feeling if possible, but declared 'his readiness and willingness to do his -best in a contest if such were the wish of the friends of Aid. Glllett. Motion and amendment were then withdrawn. On motion of E. Ferguson, seconded by John Macleod the committee was Instructed to select six candidates to stand for the council. Aid Bird reported that the committee had secured four good candidates, ,1. Fred Hume, Dr. W. 0. Rose. w. w. <Beer and Aid. Annable, all of whose names were heartily endorsed. The task of completing the ticket was referred back to the committee to re- iiort next Wednesday evening. The meeting then adjourned.

STRIKE IS CALLED OFF Russian Workmen Declare Witte Has Rushed Them Into a Trap Leaders Assert That Careful Preparations Will be Made for Armed Uprising Simultaneously All Over Rusrla St. Petersburg, Dec. Iii.—The council of workmen met secrotly last night and after an eight hour session at 0 o'clock tliis morning adopted a resolution to call off the strike on Monday, "becauso tbe light of tho people against the government can no longer be limited to the disorganization of the economic life of the nation through a universal strike, and in many parts of the country is taking on tho character of an armed uprising. The council of workmen's deputies," the resolution concludes, "decides to proceed immediately with warlike preparations and tlie organization of au armed uprising." The council recommends that the attempt of an immediate uprising could not succeed in tho capital at present but that while making preparations it would be necessary to undertake a sort of guerrilla warfare, consisting of the disarming of police and soldiers whenever they are found alone in the streets, the use of bombs from ambush, and other acts of terrorism. The council drew up a proclamation to the Cossacks, warning them that if they continued to fight against the people they would be treated as mad dogs, and if they desired to be treated as brothers they should remain in their barracks. An appeal was also drawn up requesting the proletariat of all countries to support the light begun in Moscow. St. Petersburg. Dec. 30.—The government claims that the attempt at an armed rebellion has failed. In a semiofficial communication issued tonight it declares the movement has been broken aud within a few weeka it will he definitely mushed. It, attributes the defeat of the Reds not only to the force it employed but to a lack of sympathy. Simultaneously the government announced that the regulations for the elections to the national assembly have -been completed and will be published tomorrow and everything will be done 'to accelerate the meeting of the douma —when the voice of the nation, and not of a single class, can be beard. A member of the cabinet said today: "The results of attempts of revolutionaries to overthrow the govenment by force was never for a moment iu doubt but what has occurred and what is oc- curing we believe will have a salutary effect on public opinion. The revolution will continue, but tt is our purpose to confine it to peaceful channels." The Associated Press tonight talked witii a prominent revolutionary, who is a leading spirit in the movement to raze the dyuasty aud its regime, and for whom the police are searching. He wus unable to conceal has depression but nevertheless stated the movement had received only a temporary check. "We blundered badly," he said, "we went Into tbe trap witte had set for us. Emboldened at the semi-paralysis of the government we proclaimed broadcast our Intention of preparing an armed revolution tor January or February. We virtually threw our cards on the taible then." No further details have been received of the horrible affair at Moscow today when governor general Doubassoff's artillery brought the walls of the Prok- haroff cotton mills tumbling down on the heads of several thousand strikers and revolutionaries, except a statement that hundreds perished. The attempt of bhe Black Hundred today to march into the oity and wreak vengeance upon the strikers only tends to confirm the fears Lhat ilual collapse of the revolt at Moscow Will be t'ollewed by an awful massacre and, although governor general Doubaasoff succeeded in preventing tholr entry Into the city and will use stern measures in the future, it will be difficult to restrain tlie lower classes, who regard the revolutionaries as enemies of the emperor and the country. Already rowdies are taking advantage of the situation aud are plundering on a large scale. Governor general Doubassoff has not yet given the figures of thc losses during the fighting at Moscow, saying that it Is impossible to present more than a guess, however, be places the outside limit at. 3001L ibut tho police did not suffer nearly so heavily. Up to Thursday night there were less than 50 casualties among them. Everywhere throughout Russia* immediately on the approach of disorder, the authorities are declaring martial law, making wholesale arrests and confiscating arms. The general strike seems to be going to pieces. It was declared off at Riga today, and at Odessa It Is breaking up and manufacturer nre ipeaiuntng operations. St. Petersburg, Dec. 30.—Governor general Doubassoff has telegraphed to the government from Moscow that a large meeting of revolutionaries and strikers at the Prokharoff cotton mill. outside the city, was surrounded by troops of all arms today. The artillery opened a terrific bombardment and imade a large rent in the walls -which suddenly crumbled and the building came down in a heap. Hundreds, if not a thousand of persons, were buried in the ruins. In an -encounter between' workmen; and Cossacks yesterday at the Nevski ship building yards eight Cossacks and 27 workmen were killed and many were injured. The railroad trains from St, Petersburg to Moscow are not running to that city but are stopping at a station near Tver. The permanent way of tlie Nicholas railway has been damaged between Tver and Kulitacia stations. M. Nakiinoff a member of the senate, has been appointed minister of justice in succession to M. Manukhlm. Traffic lias ibeen resumed on the Mitau-Riga road at Baranovilch. government of Minsk. The troops subsequently restored order without bloodshed. The road service has been re-established there. .Warsaw, Dec. 30.—Attempts to erect barricades at three places in this city today failed. There are heavy patrols in the streets and the banks are closed. STRUGGLING TO THE END Fight Still Maintained by Revolutionaries in Moscow Oddfea. Dec. 30.—The strike here is going to pieces. Riga, Dec. 30.—The strike here ended 'today, tbe papers havo reappeared and business and work at the factories has been resumed. The termination of the strike will save the city from famine. The supply of fresh meat gave out three days ago. General Sollogub, the governor general of the Baltic provinces. Is moving north at the head of ten thousand troops with artillery. Upon his arrival here he is expected to begin an energetic campaign against the revolutionaries who have created conditions of anarchy ln the country. Two of the most famous castles in the Baltic provinces. Dondangen built in the 13th century, and Odeseee, a stately -structure which was filled with the rarest collectin of treasures, have been burned. During the strike many highhanded atrocities were committed. The revolutionaries established an "execution building" where persons condemned -by the revolutionary committee were shot. London, Dec. 80-The Tlhnjs, In its second edition today, publishes a despatch from Odessa which announces that tho crisis thero is over, public sentiment bus cooled under martini law, two 'thirds ot Uie strikers will be back at work today and tho majority of the lenders have boon arrested, General Doubassof Has Refused Any Terms Except Those of Unconditional Surrender-Old Strongholds Reoccupied Moscow, Dec. ;w-Ti>n'c V.nds of revolutionaries wiiu.se mi' r yt-Kiei-tliiy to Surrender if guaranteed a tree pardon, was refused by 'the autfooWt^es, ibjawlcaded I themselves today In their houses.

DEAL WITH THE EVIDENCE UATHEltED New York, Dec. .W—After pursuing » line of Inquiry ituo tho business methoils of tlio life Insurance companies In nils Mtitto which hji.s covered il period of nearly four months, the legislative Insurance Investigation committee ended its Bosslon today. The vast accumulation of 'testimony iwhloli contains revelations that have astounded the publie. will at once lie prepared In the form of a report tn tin legislature. The enquiry ha.s brought forth more startllnir disclosures than any previous proceedings laid along similar lines. Like a match applied 10 a haystack, tlie trouble arising In tile affairs of tile Equitable Life Assurance society lu the early pan of the year, started a conflagration ol insurance exposures, which to tile public millil seemed Inconceivable. Evidence which described the Juggling of vast money led by policy holders, motohds of graft for personal advantage, schemes for financial gain anil plans of bewllderfng Intricacy for private protlts. have been produced ami will be the subject of the most earnest consideration of the legls' lutu RENEWED WAR RUMORS Collision Between France and Germany Regarded as Inevitable. Paris. Dec. 30.—Following the Improvement of relations between France and Germany by the referring of the Moroccan controversy to a conference, there is a distinct revival of war rumors -and a considerable number of people and of journals are maintaining that war between France antl Germany Is Inevitable. Some of these reports are taking an exaggerated form but they all torn! to stimulate the public apprehension. Ia Patrle publishes a report that the bank of France has taken extraordinary precautions, similar to those adopted in 1870 before the Franco-Prussian war. Tills is authoritatively denied. TO FIND THE NORTH POLE Chicago, Deo. HO-'-BuIld an'air ship, go tlnd (the north pole und report by wireless leleirrapliy and submarine culilos, tlie progress of your efforts," This wns the startling assignment given a few days ago to Walter Wellman, Washington correspondent of the Chicago Record-Herald, by- Frank B. Noyes, odltor ok, that paper, apd the commission has been accepted. Moscow. Dec. 29. via St. Petersburg, Dec. 30.—In view of the fact that governor general Doubassoff refused to negotiate with the strike committee, which sought to obtain a free pardon for the participants in the uprising, (the leaders of the lighting organizations, encouraged by the failure of the troops to occupy or destroy the ibarrlcades in the northwest section of the city, decided to continue the strike and today the revolutionaries were again in possession of the old strongholds. The governor general is evidently waiting until he has sufficient troops to hold tho disturbed region, when it will be cleared. Nevertheless the work of routing out the revolutionists will be difficult and perhaps costly, as the tactics of the insurgents are not to figlut in the open, but to defend the barricades, which are used to Impede the movement of troops, while from the adjoining houses little groups in ambush shoot at the soldiers and throw bombs. The maze of narrow, crooked streets anil the hilly nature of the ground make it practically impossible to use artillery effectively and eventually will compel the troops to clear the region by moving from 'house to house. The region covers several square miles hetween the river and the Tverskala and ls hemmed in iby troops whose lines cut off the revolutionaries from the Brest railroad on the east. The troops occupy a ridge along the Boulevard. A correspondent of the Associated Press had no difficulty In traversing the whole region under the escort of a member of the Drujina. or lighting organization of the revolutionaries, while the latter was making a tour of inspection. The pickets near the boulevard were then exchanging a sharp fus- llade. The Drujina did not appear to be well organized and lacketl regular oflicers. (The workmen's council was supposed to have general direction of the worklngmen's army, but each group seemed to act on its own Initiative. The majority of the men were armed only with revolvers of a cheap pattern. Two companies of 200 men eacii. however, were armed with repealing shotguns and a few rifles. The most businesslike feature was tbe Drujlna's 'hospital, which was equipped with a regular surgical staff and sisters of charity. The wounded men were well cared for. The troops on Thursday captured a surgical detachment of the revolutionaries, commanded by Dr. Abronioft. a Jew. The members of tbe Drujina are very boastful. They declare they are not disordered and Unit on the contrary tbey will take the offensive this, Friday night. Troops are continually arriving here. The latest arrivals are the Dagheatan cavalry, a strong looking tody. The police continue to make domiciliary visits at night and have seized an immense quantity of revolvers. In one house, inhabited chiofly by Jews. Ihey captured 69 revolvers ami several bombs. Moscow, Dec. 30.—Governor geueral Doubassoff today assumed tbe initiative against the revolutionary stronghold in the northwestern or Presua quarter ami all day the Inhabitants of the city have been listening to the booming of cannon and the ratlle of small arms. At this writing firing is still audible, but more distant, and the lurid glare in the heavens shows that many structures are in flames. • It was essentially a surprise attack. During the night artillery antl machine guns moved to the streets leading to the Presua district. all 'of which were heavily barricaded, and at 4 o'clock this morulng the troops began an advance, clearing the way ruthlessly. By 10 o'clock much of the region had been cleared and the main body of the insurgents and strikers had been driven Into tbe Prokharoff cotton mill, an Immense establishment which was fortified to stand a siege. A smaller force of the revolutionaries held Kornossoff. another four-storey factory. Thc latter was bombarded and razetl without much difficulty. It is impossible to penetrate the quarters as the pickets have the strictest orders lo allow no one to pass. The artillery lire was resumed at 2 p.m. and still continues. According to oflicers at governor general Doubassoff's headquarters the Prokharoff mill is momentarily expcctetl to fall antl It Is asserted that It ls the program to finish the revolt tonight. It Is admitted that the slaughter has been great. The Seinin- ovisky regiment is understood to have distinguished itself In many places by storming 'barricades, aud Is the heaviest loder on the side of the troops. The Insurgents displayed great stubbornness and were mowed down on refusing to surrender, A terrible affair occurred at a workman's tea house on Novaya Dervuya street, near the Presna district. It was surrounded by the Black Hundred who Anally applied the torch and were watching the victims inside consumed iby the flames when Cossacks appeared on <the scene. Governor general Doubassoff has posted an imperial ukase guaranteeing pardon to strikers who have not used arms. BIO MINING DEAL Queen Victoria Property May Be Bonded for 120,000. (Special to The Daily News) Grand Forks. Dec. 30.—James Burr, a veteran prospector of this district and one of the chief owners of the Queen Victoria property, situated at Beasley Siding, seven miles southwest of Nell son, leaves on Monday for Nelson to close a -.20.000 deal on a working bond for the Queen Victoria property. The American syndicate which has a working option on the .property has Just made a mammoth strike encountering a big body of ore In a 'big open cut they were running.

The executive council of the United Irish league held a three hours' session In London today under the presidency of T. P. O'Connor. John Redmond drew up the manifesto, which declares that bhe first duty of the Irish voters In Great Britain Is to aid to the utmost in the dlsconillture of tho great coalition which has inflicted such immense injuries on their country. Where labor candidates are sound on the home rule question, the Irish are recommended to Bupport them. Otherwise they should vote for the liberals. The followers of lord Rosebery are excluded from the latter category and the manifesto promises special advice to voters ln constituencies where thero Is a choice between a unionist and a Roseberylte. The efforts to patch up the quarrel between Mr. Redmond and Timothy Ml Healy have apparently failed, as lt was announced today that the Irish party had decided to oppose Mr. Healy when he seeks re-election from North Louth. Birmingham, Dec. 30.—Joseph Chamberlain, in a speech here tonight said he belileved that the despatch of prime minister Campbell-Bannerman with reference to ChineBO labor in South Africa was purely an electioneering paper. If not, it was most serious and probably would result in the same situation as when Great Britain tried to legislate for the American colonies and lost them. Mr. Chamberlain said Great Britain had alTVRdy Almost bopele.ily lost tho trade lead and that her only hope now lay in colonial preference but he feared that Oscal reform would be smothered under the mass of minor issues during the campaign. KOREAN PROTECTORATE JAPAN WJLL NOT TAX THE ANOIBNT HERMIT KINGDOM HAS NO LNTKNTION OF SELLING A PART OF SAKHALIN ■New Vork, Dee. 30-That Japun intends to develop Korea and tu dominate iter roreign affairs, but does not intend to make tho country a vassal or Japanese State, was a statement mude today by Koretlyo Takaha-slil, the Japanese ttnun- cial commissioner, who arrived here trom Eliropo on bis way to Tokio. When Mr. lakuhushi was asked whether Korea would be made to pay any part of Ja- pan'8 heavy war debts, he anld: "No- wo will develop Korea but not tax lier. Tlio question of tho Japanese protectorate in Korea is misunderstood in thfe country. Korea i.s a weak nation and nffeds protection. Japan has no intention of making: lier a vassal or a slate of the nation, but. she intends to dominate her foreign affairs in order to preserve the peace in the tar eaat. Jn no way Ih it intended to interfere with her Interests." "Will your country sell Sakhalin Island to help pay of the debt?" was asked. "Japan will not sell her possessions,"* he replied, "it is too valuable an island lu oil and mines and Jepun intends to develop the properly." Mr, Takahashl said he had been Instrumental in llotOtins loans for Japan auiount- in to $535,000,000, and of that amount the United Stutes hud taken |100,OOU,WXI of bonds. CATHOLIC OHURCH IN FRANCE Possibility of Religious Warfare Following' Changed Conditions Paris, Dec. 30—With the new year tno Catholic church in Franca enters a new epoch, The first sign of the change is the list for the president'fl reception, which does not contain the names of any pre- lutes. The great question now is, wnat action the bishops win take on the meeting of cardinals on Thursday, which is the ilrst to be held In a century, It is looked upon by the bishops as an attempt on the part of the cardinals to assume a sort ot cablnotahlp of bhe church. At meetings of the bishops, held for other purposes up to the present -time, it has boen said tlmt the majority were in Favor of the peaceable uccepiance of the separation of church and slate.

DEANE THE CIVIC ELECTIONS The supporters of alderman Glllett's candidature for the mayoralty have already secured four strong aldermanlc candidates to run on the same ticket. The choice of the remaining two will be made on Wednesday evening next aad if two as acceptable candidates an any one of the four already agreed upon can be secured, the citizens of Nelaon will have the opportunity of electing aa capable a council as the city has aver had. Had it been possible to choose six good men at a publie meeting who would have been acceptable to the great majority of the electors of all shades of opinion their election as aldermen by acclamation would have been entirely ■satisfactory. But the proposal that committees of the supporters of the two mayoralty candidates should get together and make up an aldermanlc slate . composed of three men from each side, although undoubtedly advanced with tbe best Intentions, is an entirely different matter and would not. we believe, have met with the approval of the ratepayers generally. After considerable discus- ulon alderman Glllett's supporters decided to place a full aldermanlc ticket In the field and ln this course they displayed good judgement The four men already agreed upon. gritb alderman Gillett In tl»e mayor's chair, will assure an efficient council during 1906, and with the knowledge that these men have consented to accept nomination the completing of the list should be a simple matter. It ls well that this matter should not be gone at too hurriedly. Nelson wants the best men available, men who will give ua a strong, clean, progressive administration and who will work together harmoniously for the consummation of the principal object to be obtained in tho new year—the speedy completion of the power plant. EDITORIAL NOTES There seems to be some "confusion" about the following from the Cranbrook Prospector, but maybe its the fault of the "Grit" spectacles: "Tbe editor of The Nelson News ls trying to pose as a "wise guy," especially when it comes to sizing up of tho doings of the McBrlde government. It is the opinion of every newspaper in the province that the dope used by the Newa editor, wheu he tackles anything pertaining to the political situation, is of such cheap quality that it warps his judgment, so that he can only see through "Grit," -spectacles, and hear the noise made by his liberal friends and other agencies with which they try to confuse those who follow legitimate occupations." Owing to many requests for customs officials in different parts of the country to be permitted to run for public offices, the department of customs, has felt lt necessary to call the special attention of officers of both inside and outside services to an order-ln-oouncil passed ln June, 1875. and which Is still in force.

For several weeks pust It has been Impossible to do any prospecting on account Of the snow, but tlie dull period at Cobalt has failed to put In an appearance. Contrary to expectations the trains Jn and out of Cobalt arc Jammed; hotels at HSiil- eybury and Now Llskard, and such sleeping accommodations as there are at Cobalt are taxed to their utmost capacity to take care of the inrush, even at this season of tho year. Two happenings of tho utmost importance within the last SO days have brought the excitement up to the highest pitch. One of these wus the llndlng of a 350 pound nugget and two other 30 pound nuggets of silver ore on Qrioux lake. This was considered on the edge of the silver belt but in now known to he one of the richest properties In tho camp, and the 850 pound nugget la thc largest ono yot found. Another matter of still greater importance Is tho advent of the diamond drill in the camp some time ago. This drill has now recorded a dcipth of MO feet on tlio -vein, and tho silver is more than holding out. The camp 4s naturally elated at this showing with depth. The only question tliere has ever been regarding tlie permanency of Cobalt was whether or not the ore would hold out with depth, Ii hus been so extremely rich on the surface and near tlie surface that a good many have thought that the ore would play out, but the diamond drill hns proven .beyond the Question of a doubt that tho ore Is oven better with depth than lt is near the surface. Then again thc Tlmmons mine has reached a depth of over 100 feet, and they are mining richer silver from this depth than, ithey did nearer the surface. The government commissioners of the TemilBkamlng & Northern ^railway arc straining every nerve to rush reinforce- -menta of equipment on the road, and to bring It up lo the highest possible standard of service bofore spring, when itj» conceded hy everyone that thc rush to Lo- balt will be one of thc scnsaltons of the century. The railroad Is now crowded almost ;to its utmost capacity In handling .mining machinery, building material and freight of all kinds, besides a very large passenger traffic. Everyone says that the rtraille and excitement now Is nothing to what it will be when the snow goes off in the spring and prospecting can he resumed. As 11 Is all mines In the district are pushing work and a very large amount of ore Is being mined. A great many new strikes are being reported almost daily and several new properties are being opened up. A largo amount of work is now being done west of Cobalt ln tho vicinity of Clear lake, and a number of sets of miners are working. This is In the vicinity of the Temiskamlng & Hudson's Bay Min. ing company's property which has proven so extremely rich, and It Is said that ono of tho adjoining properties has covn a better sliowing on the surface. A good many experts are of tho opinion that tho best properties in the camp are located on tho south border of Clear lake, and that a continuation of tlio Temisknmlng & Hudson s Bay company's veins in this locality are to ■bo found richer than the original, lem iskatnliig & Hudson's Bay properties. Two or three mines further west, or to the west edge of Coleman township, R Js said some extremely rich ore lias boen found, and bo.rderlng on Portage bay anil southwest of Clear lake, on the Montreal river some good rinds have been made, This land borders on the Booth and Lums- den timber limits, which Is not open for prospectors at present, but It Is said the timber berth will be open in the spring. If this timber bertli ls opened there Ls no doubt but that the area of tlie rich silver deposits of Coleman township, which is now somewhere between 13 and 15 miles square, will be extended materially. In fact with the opening of thin timber berth it seems certain that the west part of the township will contribute sonic very rich properties. Tliere seems to be no reason why this property west from Cobalt to Portage bay, In Coleman township, sould not contain as good mineral as there Ib in the developed area, although the last ror some distance east of Portage bay. Is covered with a deep coating of soil and, consequently, Is very difficult to prospect. Ono of the principle difficulties In prospecting in and about Cobnlt has been the necessity of removing a large amount ot* soil before the original formation showing silver deposits could be found. At tho present lime a large percentage of tho people who are visiting Cobalt are from the eastern cities. It is only recently that people west of the Ohio river have heard very much concerning Cobnlt. The first excitement in the United Suites was started when several carloads of rich silver ore were shipped to a New Jersey smelter. Tho payment for this ore, aggregating from $.10,000 to WO.000 per car, went through some of the New Vork banks, and In this way It wns learned in tho great financial centre that a bonanza district had been struck ln northern Ontario. Tbe demand for Investments in Cobalt is simply enormous, but so far there hns been little chance to secure anything there aside from stock of the Temiskamlng, & Hudson's Bay Mining company, which started at 40 cents per share and is now selling at $G7 per share, and already has a 200 per cent dividend record Two or three unsuccessful attempts have been mado to float wildcat stocks, but the laws of Ontario nre so strict and well- defined that the merest novice can distinguish hetween tho spurious and the genuine. Again, the taws are such that lt costs between $500, and $600 to incor- ■poraite a company in Ontario, and not every fako promoter can put his fingers on this amount of money. The government system of Inspection of properties is so rigid that it Is almost impossible to secure title to anything unless It Is a genuine mine, and thus thc speculator is afforded iron clad protection in spite or himself. The town of Cobalt Itself hns advanced Willi rapid strides ond almost every legitimate business is reprcaontcd there. Great as is ithe advance tho town itself Js making It is a poor second to the ever increasing production of thc sllvor mines. Everyone in Canada and in the enstern cities is certain that tho advent of spring will see the greatest rush to Cobalt that any mining camp in the world has ever soon. FOR THE HOLIDAYS C. P. R.

Lust full before snow came in Cobalt, when the woods wero swarming with pros- pectors and new strikes were ol daily occurrence; whon thc trains were coming iind going from Cobalt half full and there •waa considerable excitement throughout Canada, the more conservative ones said that the excitement would all die down a.s soon us thu snow covered the ground und stopped prospecting. For BOVoral weeks past lt has been impossible to do any prospecting on account of tlu> snow, but the dull period at Cobalt hus fulled lo put in an appearance. Con- tmry to expectations the trains in and out of Cobalt aro Jammed; hotels at Hull- eybnry and New Llskard, and such sleeping accommodations as there are at Co- Uilt are taxed to their utmost capacity to lake cave of tho Inrush, even at thla season of the year. Two happenings of the utmost important' within the laat 30 days have brought ilte excitement up to the highest pitch. One of these was tho ilnding of a 2M pound nugget and two other 30 pound nuggets of silver ore on Grloux lake. This was considered on the edge of the silver belt but Is now known to be one of tho richest properties in tho camp, and the 250 pound nugget is the largest one yet found. Another matter of still greater importance In the advent of the diamond drill in the camp some time ago. This drill hus now recordod a dearth of WO feet on tho vein, und tho sllvor is more than holding out The camp ia naturally elated at this showing with depth. The only question t here has ever been regarding the permanency of Cobalt was whether or not the ore would hold out with depth. It has been so extremely rich on the surface and near lhe -surface that a good many huve thought that the ore wouid play out, but the diamond drill has proven beyond the question of a doubt that the ore Is oven better with depth than it is near tlie surface. Then again the Tlmmons mine hns reached u depth of over 100 feet, and they are mining richer silver from this depth than, they did nearer the surface. The government commissioners of the Te.milskamIng & Northern Urallway arc straining every nerve to rush reinforcements of equipment on the road, and to bring it up to the highest possible standard of service before spring, when it is conceded by everyone that the rush to cobalt will .be one of the sensaltons of the century. The railroad Is now crowded almost ito Its utmost capacity In handling mining machinery, building materia) and freight of all kinds, besides a very large passenger trafflc. Everyone says that ib" urafllc and excitement jiow is nothing to what it will be when the snow goes off in the spring and prospecting can bo resumed. As it is all mines in the district are pushing work and a very large amount ot ore la being mined. A great many new strikes are being reported almost dally and several new properties are being opened up. A large amount of "work is now being done weat of Cobalt In tho vicinity of Clear lake, and a number of sew'pi miners ure working. This Is in the vicinity of the Temiskamlng & Hudson's Bay Mining company's property which has proven so extremely rich, and lt is said that ono of the adjoining properties has eovni a hotter showing on the surface. A good many exports are of tho opinion that tho best properties In the camp are located on tne south border of Clear lake, and that a continuation of the Temiskamlng & Hudson a Bay company's veins in this locality are to be found richer than the original, lem- islUMiilng & Hudson's Bay £*pl»rt«». Two or three mines further west, or to the west edge of Coleman township, it Js said some extremely rich ore has boen found, and bordering on Portage bay and southwest of Clear lake, on the Montreal river some good llnds have been made. This land borders on the Booth and Lums- den timber limits, which Is not open for prospectors at present, but it Is suid the timber berth will be open in the spring. If this timber berth ls opened there Is no doubt but that the area of the rich silver deposits of Coleman township, which is now somewhere between 12 and 15 miles square, will be extended materially, in fact with the opening of this timber berth It seems certain that the west part of the township will contribute some very rich properties. There seems to be no reason why this property west from Cobalt to Portage bay, in Coleman township, sould nut contain as good mineral aa there is in the developed area, although the last for some distance east of Portage bay, Ib covered with a deep coating of soil and, consequently, ls very difficult to prospect. One of the principle difficulties In prospecting in and about Cobalt has been the necessity of removing a large amount of soil before the original formation showing silver deposits could bo found. At the present time a large percentage of tho people who are visiting Cobalt are from the eastern cities. It is only recently that people west of the Ohio river have hoard very much concerning Cobalt. Thc first excitement In tlie United States was started when several carloads of rich silver ore were shipped to a New Jersey smelter. Tho payment for this ore, aggregating from 130,000 to $«0,000 per car, wont through some of the New Vork banks, and In this way It was learned in tlie great financial centre that n bonanza district had been struck in northern Ontario. The demand for investments in Cobnlt Is simply enormous, but so far there has been little chance to secure anything there aside rrom stock of the Temiskamlng, & Hudson's Bay Mining company, whicli started nt -10 cents per share und Is now selling at $01 per share, and already has a 200 per cent dividend record Two or three unsuccessful attempts have been made to ilont wildcat stocks, but the laws of Ontario are so strict and well- defined that the merest novice can distinguish between the spurious and the genuine. Again, the laws are such that it costs between 9600. and $€00 to Incor- ■poraite a company in Ontario, and nol every fako promoter can put his lingers on this amount of money. The government system of inspection of properties is so rigid that It is almost Impossible to secure title to anything unless it Is a genuine mine, and thus the speculator Is afforded iron clad protection ln spite of himself. The town of Cobalt itself has advanced with rapid strides and almost every legitimate business Js represented thero. Great ns Is 'the advance the town itself Is making It is a poor second to the ever Increasing production of the silver mines. Every, ono in Canada and In the eastern cities Is certain that the advent of spring wlli see the greatest rush to Cobalt that any mining camp In tho world haa over seen. FOR THE HOLIDATS C. P. R.

Catarrh means inflammation. Ordinary catarrh is inflammation of the nose cavity opening into the throat. This cavity receives all tlie air going to and from the lungs.' Food and drink passes through it to the stomach. And the prime cause of catarrh is indigestion. Because indigestion means au irritated stomach. This irritation spreads to the throat and nose. Belching gas keeps up the inflammation. The blood is impure and badly nourished. Aud nine times iu ten, there is Constipation and poor skiu action. The only way to cure Catarrh is to cure the cause of catarrh. Digestion must be improved — inflammation in stomach soothed—blood purified—and the liver strengthened so it will give up enough bile to make the bowels move regularly every day. or Fruit Liver Teblete will always cure Catarrh of the throat and nose because these marvellous fruit tablets cure indigestion—sweeten the stomach — and eradicate all impurities from the blood by its stimulating and invigorating action on liver, bowels, kidneys and skin. Leave sprays, atomisers, powders and snuffs alone. Take "Fruft-a-tives" regularly —be careful of your diet—and catarrh will soon be a thing of the past. One 50c. box of "Fruit-a- tlves" will prove how effectively these tablets relieve catarrh—and will do you so much good that you will gladly continue the treatment until cured.

The Idea in consigning these 400 cases of apples to Messrs Garcia, Jacobs and company for public sale in the great Bow street auction rooms was less in expectation of a commercial profit than for the direct purpose of calling attention Jn tho fruit trade lo the excellency .of Canada's wares, and incidentally encouraging English growers with some 'means to emigrate and try their fortunes fn a ■laud holding out many advantages to them. Experts were agreed that the consignment sold yesterday was surprisingly satisfactory, clean, bright and well packed, the different varieties showing the highest excellence of their kind, and In each case just what buyers wanted, a point to which, it must he snid with regret, home growers pay Utile attention. "The majority of apple growers fn this country," art ex- perl declared while the fruit was being sold, "are hair a century behind tho times. |.i is these who complain of the unprofitableness of English horticulture; the men who know their business suy nothing, but make good profits in silence." Canadian growers start with the advantages of government supervision at the Place of export, which is jeolously careful of tM dominion's good repute in foreign markets and the knowledge of this acts in a most excellent way In enforcing the best grading and packing at the orchards.

Hard rubbinj, and boilinj are things of thc past in homes where Sunlight Soap is used as directed. Sunlight Soap will not injure even thc daintiest fabric or the hands, and the clothes will be perfectly white, woolens soft and fluffy. The reason for this is because Sunlight Soap is absolutely pure, contains no injurious chemicals — indeed, nothing but the active, cleansing, dirt-removing proper- tics of soap lhat is nothing but soap.

Dec. 23.—The craze lor the princess effects is ou the increase, anil Uie whole range ot undergarments 1ms heen revolutionized by its popularity. The "skin garment" as it is called, is a union suit ol' silk and Hue wool, almost as thin as gossamer but very warm, wext to this is worn bhe new corset which is cut purposely for the ipimcess uress. Women who wear the same cornet, irom year to year make a great mistake. Tlie flrst thing to 'be considered is comfort, that is the corset must lit you. uot you the corset; and then the new styles each year ire- quire a change in build. Every woman this tseason should possess two corsets one tor her tailor made suit, aud the other for wear with her princess gowns. The new corset of this season demands a higher bust line than that of last b-jason and a smaller waist added to tho straight front. This does not mean tight lacing but proper adjustment aud physical exercise. A stout woman needs a straight front, side bonea on the bias, and the back lines should curve out over Uie hips. The slah-jsdded woman must be fitted hy having her corset, adjusted to a good model and then being properly padded out. Tne thin woman needs a girdle shape with a bust supporter covered with lace frills; a slight bustle is worn also a hip pad; but pray be sure that Jt is firmly attached to your corsets, for there is nothing more laughable than the sight of wobbly hip-pads. A certain amount of care must be given to a corset to prolong its usefulness. U should be unlaced every time it is taken off. Two lacings should be used, one from the corset-holes at the bottom up to the waist, and another from the top to the waist line. First hook the corset from the bottom hook up. put the hand inside Uie corset and draw up the roll of flesh towards the diaphragm. Now fasten the garters- there should be four two in front and one on each side, to keep the corset and stockings in good shape. Take a long breath and tighten the lower laces, after another full breath, fasten the upper lacings which should bo no tighter that your greatest breath expansion. Many women like elactfc lacings which give to every movement of the body and thus avoid any cramping. Some of the new corsets fasten in the front leaving a long perfectly fitted back, which gives a very youthful shape to the wearer. Above the corset is worn a new triple garment, a union of corset cover, skirt and drawers. To stout women this garment will be a boon as it reduces the size by doing away with all superfluous material. The empire and princess effects are also responsible for the beautiful hosiery and footwear; for when they must be lifted- because of their fullness, they must be lifted on all sides and of course there must be harmony in the dressing of the feet; then the shortness of the walking suit demands the utmost care in the matter of shoes and stockings. So the shoe manufacturer has come forward with new styles nothing like which has been seen, perhaps since the days of the empire itself. Shoes are even embroidered, that Is, those worn with the visiting gowns, and spats the color of the suit must be worn with the morning dress. A new shoe to be worn with a grey walking dress was lately made in grey cloth of the same material as the dress, with grey heels. But patent leather ls perhaps the most fashionable with conservative women. Pointed toes are no longer worn but instead a slightly rounded toe. Many Louis XV iheels are seen. For slippers beautiful brocades embroidered in gold and silver are shown in the shoe shops. Stockings are dally growing more elaborate and beautiful. Open-work patterns, lace inserts, embroideries, ribbons and insertions in every conceivable device are used as decorations. Wonderful are the prices paid for these filmy foot coverings; but the clever needle woman can buy the plain silk stockings at a quarter of the price and with a few bits of lace and ribbon have as beautiful hose as those seen In the shops. Do you remember the time when because of tight sleeves we put on our hats before our waists. We have now gone to another extreme. According to the milliner there are women who are putting on their hats before they do up their hair. You must first put up the back rolls of hair and set "the thing of twists and curves" on Its support, then you take your side locks which you puff and curl and twist to fill out the spaces left bare by the turned up hat brim, and fasten all together with many jewelled hat pins. The milliner did not say how we would manage at the theatre. This is a story that only goes to show how Important it is that the hair be dressed for the hat. That unsightly place where the bandeau lies —necessary to give the correct ,tllt to the season's style—is usually bidden by masses of flowers and feathers. Our grandmothers liked the old-fashioned "Tarlatan" for dancing frocks and today It is being revived for tlie same purpose. Of course this means a very good quality of underdress and quantities of lace and ruffles. The outside of these gowns are not really so very expensive; but when you have gathered together your silk linings your lace ruffles, your lace furbelows and other small items which cost so much without you can do your own sewing, the adding of a dressmaker's bill will bring the cost up to a high figure. The lace and spangled nets are also liked for dancing gowns but, are much more appropriate for older women. CATHERINE MANN- PAYZANT.

Catarrh means inflammation. Ordinary catarrh is inflammation of the nose cavity opening into the throat. This cavity receives all the air going to and from the lungs.' Food and drink passes through it to the stomach. And the prime cause of catarrh is indigestion. Because indigestion means an irritated stomach. This irri- tationspreads to the throat and nose. Belching gas keeps up the inflammation. The blood is impure and badly nourished. And nine times in ten, there ls Constipation aud poor skin action. The only way to cure Catarrh is to cure the cause of catarrh. Digestion must be improved — inflammation in stomach soothed—blood purified—and the liver strengthened so it will give up enough bile to make the bowels move regularly every day. or Fruit Liver Tablat* will always cure Catarrh of the throat and nose because these marvellous fruit tablets cure indigestion—sweeten the stomach - and eradicate all impurities from the blood by its stimulating and invigorating action on liver, bowels, kidneys and skin. Leave sprays, atomisers, powders and snuffs alone. Me "Fruil-a-lives" regularly —be careful of your diet—and catarrh will soon be a thing of the past. One 50c. box of "Fruit-a- tives " will prove how effectively these tablets relieve catarrh—and will do you so much good that you will gladly continue the treatment until cured.

Ben Pugh, an old Umes, or over 20 yours residence, has had the misfortune to break his leg. Ho attributes this disaster to the fact or this being his ilrst sober Christmas for yeara. The court of assessment appeal was held at Fernie yesterday nnd at Cranbrook today. The appeals are generally from the big corporations, the C.N.P. Coal company and tho St. Eugene Mining company both putting ln strong protests. Tlio Coal company's appeal was postponed. W*. J. Goepel, government auditor, arrived yesterday to take part fn the proceedings. Mrs. V. H. Baker is giving a fancy dress ball for children on Jan. 1. James Croniti arrived last night to uphold the appeal of the St. Eugene company. He Is much Interested In the scheme or Black and Mackay for working under Moyle lake. It Is reported that the North Star Mining company has leased the North Star to Hamerstedt & Mellnder, with Lhe understanding that if a permanent body or ore is opened up the company resumes control. This is difficult to believe, as very few men would work under these conditions. Several land seekers have been and are still, looking for locations and are disappointed to find that most of the land Is held by companies. Government land Is getting remarkably scarce and Is not Improving In quality. There are thousands of acres in the valley of great fertility, held by bhe B.C. Southern, the Kootenay & Columbia and Canadian Pacillc railways and nil are. asking much higher prices than the governmlnt. ONE YEAR FOR THEFT Charles Keeilor Punished for Undue Familiarity with Others' Property Charles Keeilor will spend the year i«W hi tho provincial gaol at Nelson, On Dec ;i a valuable gold watch was missed by H.

On the following day Keeilor tried In various places to raise money by pledging a watch. He finally .succeeded In securing a loan from Charlie Walmsley, the good natured proprietor of the Bodega saloon. On Christmas day another guest at. the Royal hotel missed $16, Iveel- ior hnd been his room mate the night be-; fore. Both eases were .placed in the hands of the police. Constable Wight man was the tlrst to Iind a clue. After watching the man for a couple of days he arrested him and found incriminating evidence 'on his person. Koeltor appeared before police magistrate Crease yesterday morning and pleaded guilty to one charge. He was sentenced to a year tn gaol with hard labor. Whether the second charge will be .orsesed or "fit will depend upon his subsequent conduct. While being escorted lo the gaol Krellm* expressed his self-congratulations on having pleaded guilty, lie admitted that three vears would not have .surprised hlni.

BRITISH COLUMBIA APPLES Recent Conslgnmenl Sold in London Pleased the Experts Greatly London Dally Tolegrapht-Btivers and sellers yesterday were alike delighted with a Ilrst sample of apples sent aver by the the agent general for British Columbia, ns lilt Illustration of what the colony can do iu this direction. The idea in consigning these -100 coses of apples to Messrs Garcia, Jacobs and company for public sale in tlie great Bow street auction rooms was less in expectation of a commercial profit than for the direct purpose of calling attention in the fruit trade to the excellency tof Canada's wares, and incidentally encouraging English growers with some means to emigrate and try their fortunes In a land holding out many advantages to them. Experts were agreed that the consignment sold yesterday was surprisingly satisfactory, clean, bright and well packed, the different varieties showing the highest excellence of their kind, and in each case just what buyers wanted, a point to which, lt must be said With regret, home growers pay little attention. "The majority of apple growers in this country," an ex- peri declared while the fruit wns being sold, "are half a century behind the times. [it is these who complain or the unprofitableness of English horticulture; the men ■who know their bustuuss say nothing, but make good profits In silence." Canadian growers start with the advantages or government supervision at the place or export, which is jeolously careful of the dominion's good repute in foreign markets and tlie knowledge of this acts in a most excellent wav in enforcing the best grading and packing al the orchards. Exhibitions of produce from Canada are to he held all over England during the next few months, and If the home grower 13 The Wor^ingmaq's Store is still doing business at the old stand. lEvaiythlng -a wdrkingman wants at right prices.
