cr THE OMINECA Vl. 4. No. 39. HAZELTON, B. C, MARCH 29. 1912 TEN PAGES McBRIDE'S RAILWAY POLICY DID IT GRADING AND SIDEWALKS CONSERVATIVES SWEPT THE PROVINCE PLANNED FOR NEW HAZELTON Only Two Socialists To Form The Opposition-The Liberal Leader, H. H. Brewster, Defeated-McBride F- c- McKinnon Tells the Local People What The Owners of Sec= and Bowser Head The Poll In Their Constituency tJon Two Have Decided to Do Hon. Richard McBride and the Conservative party made a clean sweep of the whole province at the election yesterday. Only two socialists will be in opposition to the government, Williams was elected in Ladysmith and Place in Naniamo. Every Liberal in the province went down to defeat, not one of them made even a close contest. The Premier headed the poll in Victoria, and his first lieutenant. Bowser, came second in Vancouver. There is no doubt but that the railway policy of the government was the main issue considered by \ the people when casting their ballots, and everyone wants railways. It is the only way to get i the province opened up. The approval of the people as expressed yesterday must be very grati- fying to the Premier, as it is to the entire Conservative party. The results of the election were received in Hazelton over the Dominion Telegraph line, and bulletined in several places around town. The report was, however, very small, as will be seen by the list given below, which is the complete returns given: New Westminster: Gifford, con. 1010; Kennedy, lib.385; Harred soc. 177.

MANSON IS AGAIN THE CHOICE OF SKEENA DISTRICT Polled Nearly as Many Votes as All Others Combind���Got a Majority Everywhere except Kispiox and Aldermere���Prince Rupert Stayed With Him HIT THE ORE ON No. TWO VEIN Harris Mines Opened Up With a Big Tunnel���Preparing to Resume Work on the Shaft For another four years Wm. Manson will represent the Skeena; District in'the provincial legislature. It is decidedly the wish of the great majority of the people that it should be so. In spite of the fact that there were three other candidates in the field, all bent on defeating Wm. Manson, he polled a vote almost equal to the other three combined, and | lead the Liberal candidate by 241, and only 26 polling places had been heard from. It can safely be estimated that the other poll- ing places will run about the j same. Even though they all go' against the Conservative candidate Mr. Manson will still have a good majority. The campaign was a short one probably the shortest in the history of the province, and at first it did not appear that any opposition would be put up, but towards the nomination day the candidates got into the field, some of them merely to see their names on the bill boards and in the papers, and to hear the people calling them by their first name, and others to uphold a cause that they hope in the future to make a factor in politics. Even though the opposition did not! desire to go through with the fight they found themselves cast off from the shore and had to swim or sink. They all tried to swim and put up a snappy fight for a couple of weeks. It was of no avail. Wm. Manson has the people of the district behind him and it will take more than the majority figure on to displace him. Probably one of the hardest fights in the district was put up by the Liberals in Hazelton. They only considered taking part for a week back, but they went at it hard, and although they polled quite a vote they are still unable to get a majority. Kispiox is the only poll in the riding that gave the Liberal a majority, and there he got 6. Aldermere was the only place that gave Dr. Clayton a majority and (Montgomery did not get a majority any place although he polled a much larger vote than Clayton. Prince Rupert was the surprise to the Conservatives here. It was admitted all along that the vote would be split there and that possibly the Liberals would get a small majority. But Prince Rupert knows Wm. Manson and they know his ability and refuse to turn him down. Stewart was also considered a Liberal stronghold but Wm. Manson again headed the poll with the socialist second and the liberal got the place. With the exception of Aider- mere, every place along the Skeena and Bulkley rivers, and the route of the G.T.P. gave Wm. Manson a majority. The tunnel on the No. 2 vein on the Harris Mines broke through the foot wall the early part of this week and exposed a foot of ore next the foot wall and six inches on the hanging wall. The men are now drifting on the vein towards the ore shoot on the surface and expect to reach it at about 35 feet. On the surface this vein shows two feet of solid ore and any day they are liable to open up something big. The Harris boys are well satisfied with the property and are confident that they will get the big ore in a very few days. Preparations are also under way to resume work on the shaft on No. 3 vein which was sunk last fall to a depth of 87 feet. It will be continued down to the 200 foot level. This is a very promising vein and it is easily worked. No. 1 vein has not yet been touched. The whole hill is heavily mineralized and the Harris Mines will shortly prove this to the satisfaction of all. Fuller particulars of the development work will be given next week. The Harris Mines are preparing to ship 200 tons of $100 ore this summer. Bill Sweeney, Roy McDonald and Thos. Hankin arrived from the Ground Hog country on Wednesday night after a two month's trip to the head waters of the Skeena andStikene Rivers They had a great trip and all are looking the better for it. They travelled over a lot of new country and they had a lot of good sport also. The moose and goats are very plentiful and they always had lots of fresh meat. Night Telegrams F. C. McKinnon arrived home last Thursday night after spending some two months in Vancouver, principally in connection with the New Hazelton, Section Two Townsite. Up to the time that Mr. McKinnon went below the owners of the property were not decided upon their plans for the development of the townsite but during his stay there the plans were formed and put in shape for execution. Mr. McKinnon arrived with the owner's proposals and he has since been busy informing the people of what had been done. To all the merchants and business men of old Hazelton who will build on Sec. Two, in New Hazelton, will be given one lot free with the option of purchasing the adjoining lot at the list price. The owners are also undertaking to clear some twenty acres of this property, to grade at least 4,000 feet of streets and to lay 8,000 feet of sidewalks, including the property which the Hazelton people select, or have selected. The owners of Sec. Two are also negotiating with the provincial government for the construction of a permanent and substantial high level bridge a- cross the Bulkley at Haguelget to accommodate the miners from Glen, Four and Nine Mile Mountains and the farmers from the Kispiox Valley. This bridge will also be on a direct line to the Ground Hog coalfields. This proposition should, and no doubt will appeal favorably to business men of Hazelton. It is a liberal one on the part of the owners whose aim is to centre the business of the district and to make the new town substantial and harmonious. It is the general belief that it will be necessary to move to the railway this summer and the business men of Hazelton cannot afford to have the business district split into several small hamlets. While in Vancouver Mr. McKinnon met a great many business people and capitalists who are filled with enthusiasm over New Hazelton and the Hazelton district, and a great many of these men are prepared, or are preparing to establish themselves in business there. He states that there is no doubt but that there will be an immense influx of people to New Hazelton this spring and summer, and the great majority of them are men with money who will make the country richer by their visit or by them locating here. It is only a matter of a few days until active work will be undertaken at New Hazelton. The people of the old town can do much to assist this work and to make this district the greatest in the province. SKEENA ELECTORAL DISTRICT Returns Received Last Night Instructions have been received from T. J. Phelan, Supt. of the Dominion Telegraph Service, for the local office to accept night lettergrams at Hazelton. In future one can send a night letter of 50 words for the price of 10 words day rate. Every ten words over 50 will cost just one- fifth. This will be good news for the entire district.

MARCH 29. 1912 Improving Farm Lands It has been officially announced that the North Coast Land Co., of Vancouver, will clear off a portion of their farm lands in the vicinity of Fort George in connection with the movement started by the Duke of Southerland to colonize British Columbia with old country farmers. Men are now at work clearing this land and there will also be houses and barns built so that the settlers can start right in to work the land and raise a crop the first year. This undertaking is an experiment on the part of the North Coast Land Co., and if it turns out satisfactorily the company will continue the work on all their holdings along the G.T.P. from Fort George to Hazelton. j TO OUR READERS ABOUT j ADVERTISING j Are you one of those who are looking for the better things in life? Do you seek happiness, health, pleasure, improved sani- tation, and better means of living ; generally? You will find all these things by carefully reading the ! advertisements in newspapers j and magazines. You will not find them anywhere else. The advertising columns of the press are of even more importance to human- I ity than the news columns and they should be read carefully and digested thoroughly. It is not always cheap things that are advertised. That is a system that has long passed into the discard by the manufacturers, merchants and inventors. The public no longer wants cheap stuff. Advertising is now being devoted to better quality. Study the advertisements and improve your condition in life. W. J. Larkworthy General mercnant Complete line of merchandise always on hand. Prospectors, Miners Ranchers and others supplied at reasonable rates. Our Own Country New Hazelton is today on the tongues and on the minds of more people throughout Canada and the United States than any district within either of these two countries. For several months the best advertising experts on the continent have been diverting their best ability to spreading the news of the new Promised Land. Unlike many other boomed towns New Hazelton can produce the goods. It is the heart of a country, the wealth of which is genuine. Every dollar that has been spent in the development of the resources or in business enterprises has made good. From week to week we have told about the workings of the prospectors and of the mines being developed, and what we have told has always been good, because nothing bad has yet been discovered. The properties being worked are proving up to and beyond expectations. Every dollar thus far put into developing the agricultural and fruit lands has returned a prolit almost equal to that which the mines will produce. Not one farmer has come short. Where the farm lands are found they are the best and productive to the highest degree. The same applies to poultry raising and all other branches of farm work that has been advertised. Thus the advertising experts have had great material to work upon. It has not been necessary for them to draw on their imaginations or to wild cat. The country is here and it is the best in the world. Every test made to date has proven it. New Hazelton is the centre of that district. The main line of the Grand Trunk Pacific runs right through the centre of it, and within easy walking distance of all the mines that have yet undergone development. New Hazelton is also the ideal spot, the place provided by nature, and the place selected by OMIN EGA AERIE F. O. E. Meets second Tuesday of each month at 8 P. M. at Hazelton Town Hall. -:- II.

POAL mining rights of the Dominion, in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, the Yukon Territory, the North-west Territories and in a portion of the Province of British Columbia, may be leased for a term of twenty-one years at an annual rental of $1 an acre. Not more 'han 2,560 acres will be leased to one applicant. Application for a lease must be made by the applicant in person to the Agent or Sub-Agent of the district in which the rights applied for are situated. In surveyed territory the land must be described by sections, or legal subdivisions of sections, and in unsurveyed territory the tract applied for shall be staked out by the applicant himself. Each application must be accompanied by a fee of $5 which will be refunded if the rights applied for are not available, but not otherwise. A royalty shall be paid on the merchantable output of the mine at the rate of five cents per ton. The person operating the mine shall furnish the Agent with sworn returns accounting for the full quantity of merchantable coal mined and pay the royalty thereon. If the coal mining rights are not being operated, such returns should be furnished at least once a year. The lease will include the coal mining rights only, but the lessee may be permitted to purchase whatever available surface rights may be considered necessary for the working of the mine at the rate of $10.00 an acre. For full information application should be made to the Secretary of the Department of the Interior, Ottawa, or to any Agent or Sub-Agent of Dominion Lands. W. W.

Mar. 18, 1912 OLOF Hanson mar22 According to information just given out by a prominent member of the Victoria Automobile Association under whose auspices the Victoria to Winnipeg tour is being held, if the Gold Medal that is offered for the first car that makes the trip is not won this year the rules will be changed that it will be necessary for all the tour to be made through Canadian territory. At present the entrant may go by way of Seattle and Snoqualmie Pass, crossing over the international boundry line in Eastern Washington. This will avoid the necessity of going through the Hope Mountains which at the present time are absolutely impassible. As this is the route of the Canadian Highway it is expected that within another year 'Vv-ork will have progressed that it will be possible to get through, which is the reason for the determination on the part of the Victoria sponsers for the run to withdraw the privilege of making part of the tour outside of Canadian Territory. The medal offered is similar in design as those that have been won by the "First to Hazelton" tour and the "First to the City of Mexico" in pathfinding the Pacific Highway. J. Asher Cowan and Frank A. Brown who are in charge of the development work of the Rocher ;de Boule Copper Co. arrived in town Friday last from the mine. Both are enthusiastic about the big showing in the winze on the upper lead, which is now down fifty feet. After the ore had been reached in the 174 foot | cross-cut on the lower lead work was concentrated on the upper, three shifts being worked and i an average of three feet per day being made, which is wonderful considering the character of the ore which is practically solid metal. There are fiive-and-a-half ��� feet of solid calcopyrite in the bottom now and is undoubtedly i the best showing of copper in the province of B. C. at present. The walls are clean and absolutely perfect from a mining standpoint to go for depth, the vein being a true fissure in the granite and cutting the formation at right angles. Mr. Riley brought in some very fine specimens on Thursday and* they are on exhibition at Harvey & McKinnon's. Mr. John F. Cowan, general manager of the propertv will be in Hazelton in about a week. The stock is now quoted at 40c. strong. Hazelton is on the map in spite of the efforts of the "powers to be" at Vancouver to keep us in the background until their railway policies shall have been fully started. ST.

Riley was offered and refused $500 for his claim on Glen mountain. His claim is the Cree and is just below the Standard. Jimmy is looking for a higher price and he will get it too. Mining men and prospectors are coming in fast now. Every train from Rupert brings up several, and some of them are among the best in the country. These men will work around in the mines for awhile and then will start out on the hills for themselves. This district will be alive with prospectors this year. Two more men were taken up to Rocher de Boule Copper Co. 's property this week and put to work. Splendid progress is being made on the shaft on the upper lead and the vein is widening out there is now five and a half feet of solid chalcopyrite.

There is great demand for Glen mountain property and almost anything showing mineral there can be disposed of. Henry Maclntaggert was in town the past week and reported on his work during the winter.

No matter how small a plant you may have, it should be made | to show a profit. If you keep but a pen of birds, they should return you a dividend each week for the amount invested. Keep track of them and see whether or' not they do this. If not, you are \ not giving proper management. When purchasing feed for your I chickens, do not figure how much j feed you can buy with a certain amount, but how good you can j buy. It pays to buy the best of i everything for them. Poor food is expensive in the end, and many times causes sickness, which results in the loss of several valuable birds. Figure to buy the best of grain at the lowest possible cost, but never buy a poor grain because it is cheap. The growing chicks should be allowed to get out of their brooders early in the morning. If it is not possible for you to arrange the runways so that the chicks will have access to them the first thing in the morning, you will have to be an early riser. When the chicks awake in the morning they want to get where they can get something to eat and drink. Many times they are made prisoners during the night, and then are not permitted to get out early in the morning. Do not over-feed growing chicks. If you do, you will find that they will become troubled with indi- gestion and leg weakness. Just keep them in good growing trim and keep up a good appetite. When you notice that they do not j come up at the time of feeding, you may be sure they are not1 hungry and that they are getting too much during the day. The night food that is relished by the birds is one that will do them a lot of good. One does not want to starve his birds, neither does he want to feed with such a lav- ish hand that the birds no not have good appetites for their regular meals. There is nothing gained by pur-1 chasing an inferior quality of poultry food. Buy the best you can get. What will a few cents on the price of a hundred pounds of grain make, when you consider j quality. Damaged grains have a great deal of their good removed and there is no sense in buying! burnt wheat when charcoal is so I cheap. This same thing is true in beef scrap. Fifty cents on a I bag may seem to some to be an j inducement to make the pur- chase, but when you examine the i difference in quality, you will j find that it would be more profit- ! able to buy the best. It is better ; to buy a good grade of anything than to pay a little less and get : something of inferior quality. It is necessary that chickens be given much bulky food. Too heavy feeding of concentrated | foods will put the birds' digestive organs out of commission. Many a man is a good feeder, and does not know when to stop in feeding bis birds. If he feeds considerable of some bulkly food, he will be very likely to give about what they need. Good clover as it is brought from the field, cured and ready for the barn, is about the best thing you can find in the line of bulky foods. If you can get an old hay cutter at some auction, get it, and with this you will be able to cut this clover up in just the right lengths. If you steam this and mix with other ground grains you will be surprised how the chickens will go for it. LAND NOTICE Omineca Land District���District or CASSIAR.

Also Wood Sawed John Goold Leave Orders at Hazelton Bakery Drinking almost the last dreg: out of the cup of human bitterness, recognizing that the tide of adversity had set forever against him, cursing the general community for its lack of philosophy and sympathy, and calling upon the Almighty to relieve him of his existence in this world where cruel fate had continually stabbed him, an actor, once the "darling of the gods," poured forth his lamentations in a local club on Sunday night. Behind this derelict on the sea of unknown areas is a romance both touching and tragic. For yeai'S he played Hamlet as no other man could; he received the applause from before the footlights as his just right. In the Shakesperian role he conquered. Ophelia came his way and he fell before her dazzling beauty. With her he continued on the wave of victory, and triumph after triumph sounded his entry in the different cities. He played his part with a greater stamp of supremacy than ever. His was the world to conquer and dominate. Honor and glory were inseparable from his name. In those days the "gods" howled with delight and the stalls applauded with derision. His was the his- troinic ability nonpareil. With Ophelia he conquered worlds anew. He became enamored both on and off the stage of the leading lady and this lady always bore the endorsation of true sincerity. For years they played together and the acknowledged incomparable chevalier could net find words to express the true, the devoted and inob- structable devotion. The sun shone, casting its scintillating rays over the couple. Theirs was the programme to entertain and educate the masses. Well was the program carried out. Then fate in its stinging, remorseless cruelty stepped in. Ophelia tired of her Hamlet and sought the companionship of a lesser light. He was handsome, attractive and refined. Yet Hamlet remained the same, although Ophelia cooled. Day by day the pretense of love was carried out. On the one side there was all the ardor of a determined lover, while on the other naught but an ici- ness prevailed. The truth flashed home to Hamlet after a little while and he seemed blinded with passion. The pair thereafter never seemed to introduce the vivacity, the earnestness, the realism or the tragedy into their parts. They were two stars who had been cast asunder in the firmament of love. The crash came with a suddenness too sudden. The receipts dwindled and theaudiences which went rapturously wild before became stony. Failure resulted and the company disbanded. Rising from the depth of poverty, it had ascended to predominant supremacy, but the hand of destiny had unfortunately dictated that there should be a change. Hamlet tried to cast off the shackles of despondency, but was held as in a vice which allowed of no relaxation. Slowly yet surely the descent downhill was made. The best theatres of London and New York did not welcome him. There was consolation, however, that the doors of the provincial houses were still open to him. But even these eventually turned him down and the world then grew dark and gloomy. The blackness of night decended on his scene of life and his efforts to find the light only resulted in him patrolling the alleys wherein no fitful gleam gave him hope. The stage with the flaring foot lights, the theatres with their packed and enthusiastic audiences were left behind. Hamlet had failed. Forsaking everything, Hamlet wandered to the wilder- j ness of the Yukon, attracted with | the lust for gold. Again he failed. Today this fallen star is in Vancouver. A graduate of Oxford university, he started out forty | years ago with life seeming to give him every opportunity. He had the talents not only to entertain but to magnetize. He is no more Hamlet. F_>r the past twenty years he has worshiped at the shrine of Bacchus. Now the veil is being drawn over the past and memory is almost blotted out. He sips and sips and sips, and behind it all he attempts to believe his life is not j tragedial. His philosophy now follows the path established by Omar Khayam in his immortal rubalyat. No more is he the illustrious Hamlet. He is only a drink-sod- dent derelict waiting for the last wave to capsize him into the sea of eternity. He is a fallen star. -The Sun.

Hazelton has a large agricultural and fruit district surrounding it. Hazelton will be the centre of branch railroads to the mining districts. Hazelton has the only anthracite coal in Canada, equal in extent and quality to that of Pennsylvania. Hazelton will be the first large point east of Prince Rupert on the Grand Trunk Pacific.

Peck, secretary of the Northern Interior Land Co., visited here the past week for was to consult with other members of the company in regards to moving the head office of the company to New Hazelton instead of Prince Rupert, It is understood that this move will be made before the summer is very far advanced. Dyde Bros., of Sealey, have leased ground on Pugsley street, near the corner of Thirteenth Ave., and have awarded a contract for the erection of a two storey hotel and lodging house. This work will be hustled along and in a very short time will be ready for business. W. A. Ferguson of the Grand, has found business increasing so rapidly that he has had to erect a good sized tent adjoining his rooming house on Thirteenth Ave., for the accommodation of those wanting bunks. Although more accommodation is being provided almost every week for the people coming and going it is still impossible to get enough room. Every rooming house and hotel in town is crowded every night and the new people are just beginning to come in. Coffee House and BAKERY (New Hazelton Branch) An appropriation of $2,000 has been made by the provincial government for the construction of sidewalks and grading streets in New Hazelton, and as soon as the weather permits this work will be undertaken. It is proposed to build walks on both sides of Pugsley St., on Twelfth and Thirteenth Aves. as these are the streets where most of the people are residing and doing business now.

Word is expected daily from Victoria authorising the construction of police offices on government property. All winter the police have been allowed to use a part of the Club house on Foley, Welch & Stewart's property, but that room is now required and the government will have to provide quarters for the men. It is understood that the police station will be built on Eleventh Ave. on block 122. There is probably no one more interested in the rapid advance of the railway than are the people of this town, and more especially the business people who have large stocks of merchandise ordered and waiting for transportation. Besides the large stock that Jas. Richmond will get up as soon as possible, Cohen, Zackon & Co., have placed an order for $150,000 stock of hardware, groceries, dry goods, men's! furnishings and general merchan- j dise. This immense stock is now waiting until the transportation is a little better to be shipped in. Cohen, Zackon & Co. will havej one of the largest stocks in the district and also one of the lar-! gest stores. The several hundred men engaged at the Skeena bridge all winter is being rapidly reduced and now there are not more than one hundred men employed there. The sand hogs have all gone and the past week fifty more men were laid off. The second caisson is completed and the concrete work on the piers nearly so. On Wednesday the first trainload of steel for the bridge was unloaded and the iron workers who will throw the steel across the water are now on the job. All the material for this bridge is already loaded onto cars at Prince Rupert and is being rushed up as fast as the trains can be run. The Grand Trunk Pacific railway are now endeavoring to get permission to run a regular train all the way from Prince Rupert to the Skeena Crossing. The demand for passenger traffic and for freight is so great that the company's officials are driven wild as they are not allowed yet to accept anything. The ballasting of the road is being rapidly proceeded with and it will not be long before the road bed will be in pretty good shape for trains, and it is reasonable to believe that the company will be granted some concessions in the near future. Among the most anxious ones for freight are the local merchants. The town has been a very busy place all week and everyone is doing a big business. The people are coming in fast and there is also a large number of the railway employees coming and going every day. Everyone is enthusiastic about the prospects of the coming spring and summer.

Owing to the very mild weather the past week the snow has been disappearing very rapidly and as a result there have been many minature floods. In a few days more there should be no more trouble and the roads will begin to get into shape again for the spring traffic. There has been a great scarify of dogs this spring and several parties have had difficulty in in getting out to their various destinations. The cause is the large number of prospectors who hit the trail for Ground Hog early in the season, and as yet only a few of them have got back. Repairing The Road On Tuesday the water running ' off the Two Mile flat down the Bulkley Hill was cutting the jheart out of the centre of the j road and had it been left for a couple of days longer the road would have been impassable. Road Supt. Williscroft was notified and he sent a man out Wednesday morning to divert the | water. As it is the road on this ! side of the Bulkley will require a ! great deal of repairing as is usual in the spring, and this fact alone is the strongest kind of evidence that a high level bridge across the Bulkley should be built without delay.
