INFLUX OF PROSPECTORS Want Peace River Road Victoria: Replying to an influential deputation from Vancouver and New Westminster, advocating the Peace river railway project, Premier McBride said the railway policy of the government would be announced in a few days. OF OUTLINED Or Ore Displays Attract Attention of Mining Men Duke Karris Tells of Plans for Opening Up Lode Mines of the Omineca District This Year. News of the most encouraging nature is brought from the coast cities by W. S. (Duke) Harris, the well known Hazelton mining man, who returned on Wednesday from a holiday visit to his home in Vancouver. Duke says that various exhibits of ore from the mines of this district, which are on display in Vancouver, have excited much interest on the part of prospectors and mining men, and he looks to see seekers for mineral flocking into this district as soon as spring opens. Mining men operating in this vicinity, many of whom make their winter headquarters i n Vancouver, are preparing for aggressive development work on many properties, and there is no doubt the coming season will be marked by a greater advance in the mining industry than in any prtrious year. E. L. Kinman, who controls the Erie, is preparing to bring a compressor plant here in the spring, and will develop his property by means of a big tunnel. The Babine Mining Company will sink a shaft on its big ore showitg. John Cameron, who purchased the Surprise, on Glen mountain, from Thompson and Duncan, will develop the property by means of a crosscut tunnel. The Sunrise, owned by the Silver Cup people, is to be opened up, and the companies which are at present working will increase their forces with the intention of placing the mines on a shipping basis before the arrival of the railway. The Harris Mines, which has made such excellent progress, will be developed by means of tunnels which will give considerable depth on the big ore shoots which have made the property so prominent. D. A. Harris, superintendent of the mine, is now on his way up the river. ASKS GOVERNMENT LOAN Grand Trunk Pacific Wants To Borrow Fifteen Millions In Ottawa. Ottawa, Jan. 8: ��� President Hays and Wainwright of the G. T. P. are here today on what is said to be an important mission affecting the relations between the railway and the government. They had a lengthy conference with premier Borden and Hon. Mr. Monk. No official statement has been made, but it is reported the company is seeking a loan of upwards of $15,000,000. Under the revised contract of 1904. the government is pledged to assist the company by bond guarantees for $13,000 a mile on the prairie section and three-fourths the cost of mountain sections. In 1909 the railway obtained a loan of $10,000,000 from the government at three per cent. Hall Association Held Very Successful Dance The second annual dance of the Hazelton Hall Association, which was held last evening, has hardly been excelled by any of the large number of successful dances given in Hazelton. A crowd which comfortably filled the hall enjoyed to the utmost the long program of dances, and many econiums were passed upon the arrangements, which reflected great credit upon the committees. The tasteful decorations, for which W. Allison was responsible, lent an added air of gaiety to the scene, while the floor was in excellent condition and Fred Springsteen, who came down from Aldermere for the occasion, and was accompanied on the piano by Mrs. Harvey, furnished the best of music. The number of ladies in attendance was unusually large, many coming from other points in the district. MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS THROUGHOUT PROVINCE Cities of British Columbia Elect Mayors and Aldermen���Taylor Defeated. Ceremonial Opening of Legislative Followed By Announcement of Measures for Advancement of Session Will Not Be Prolonged. Veteran Mining Man Dead Victoria: J.B. Hobson, a well known mining engineer, is dead here at the age of 67. He was manager of the Cariboo Hydraulic Co. and has been for many years associated with John Hays Hammond i n various mining enterprises. GROUNDHOG Assembly Important Province, j Redistribution May Not Be Considered (Rpeelal I" Tho Miner) Victoria, Jan. 11:���The third session of the twelfth legislative assembly of British Columbia was inaugurated at three o'clock this afternoon, with the usual picturesque ceremonies. The costumes of many ladies and the uniforms of the Lieutenant-governor's guard of honor contributed a wealth of color to the picture which had for its background the stately parliament building. In the speech from the throne, after fitting references to the King's coronation, at which British Columbia was represented, and the coming to Canada as Governor-general of the Duke of Connaught, Hon. T. W. Pat- erson, Lieutenant-governor of the province, said the year had been one of great prosperity and progress throughout British Columbia. The development of the various resources of the province had been most gratifying. It was intimated that the financial statement to be presented to the house will show a considerable expansion of revenue. Dealing with proposed legislation, the governor said provision would be made for the establishment of a de- Coal Measures Skeena and Remarkable of the Upper Stikine Are of Extent. partment of forestry and a bill dealing with the conservation and administration of the timber wealth of the province will be submitted. All papers relating to the visit j to Ottawa of the first minister and the attorney-general will be laid before the house. In this! connection the transfer to the province of the administration of water rights in the railway belt | was referred to. It was intimated that there would be a large increase in the appropriations for I public works, necessitated by the rapid growth of business through- but the province. The contract j had been awarded for a much heeded extension to the parlia- ment buildings, work on which is now in progress. "Owing to the increased de-1 mand for transportation facili-; ties," the Governor said, "mea-' sures will be placed before you designed to further encourage the building of railways in this province. " Following a reference to the work of clearing land for the provincial university, he added "You will be asked to provide a sufficient grant to permit of the! formal opening of the university in 1913." Victoria, Jan. 12: - Several references have recently appeared in the provincial press to the presentation of a redistribution bill (based on the recent census) at the forthcoming session of the local Legislature, in connection with which it may be stated that although the matter has as yet received no forma! cabinet consideration it is highly improbable a measure of that nature will be regarded as necessary or desirable at the present juncture. Representation of a population of less than half a million by forty-two members may be regarded as numerically quite sufficient, while it is deemed the policy of wisdom to allow population to settle somewhat before deciding upon any necessary readjustment of provincial constituencies. J. A. Thorne, of the construction department of the government telegraphs, is spending a few days in town. Civic elections were held throughout the province yesterday. Special despatches to the Miner give the results as follows: Vancouver: James Findlay, former license commissioner, a prominent Conservative, was elected mayor, with a majority of 1,300 over L. D. Taylor, who has been mayor for two years. Women voted for the first time in Vancouver, Mrs. Peter McNaughton, the first woman school trustee, had a majority of 1000.1 Nearly all money bylaws, calling for $5,000,000 expenditure, werej carried. Victoria: J. L. Beck with IS I Victoria's new mayor. He de-j feated Mayor Morley by forty- j nine in a total vote of 4,000. The bylaw for Sooke lake water works, to cost $1,250,000, wasj carried. Nanaimo: Alderman Shaw was elected mayor, defeating Thomas Hodgson by a majority of 23. New Westminster: Mayor Lee was re-elected, defeating Aid. Bryson. Majority, 300. Mrs. Cross and Mrs. Gilley were elected school trustees. Nelson: Mayor Selous, seeking re-election for a fourth term, was defeated by J. E. Annable. j Majority 76. Grand Forks: Mayor Gaw re-1 elected, defeating Aid. Lequime. Kaslo; A. T. Garland elected mayor, with a majority of six over F. K. Archer. Fernie: A. W. Pleasdell elected mayor. PrinceRupert: S. M. Newton elected mayor by a vote of 597, to 205 for Aid. Hilditch. Aldermen: Ward 1, Gi W. Kerr W. H. Montgomery, D. W. Morrissey; Ward 2, L. Bullock-Webster, II. Douglas, Dr. Clayton, J. Dib- haven, T. Maitland. School trustees, Dr. Kergin, P. W. Anderson. General Election May Be Called for Endorsation of Railroad Act (Special to The Miner) Victoria, Jan 11: It is generally believed in the capital that this will be the final session of the present legislature, and that the government will go to the people, probably in April or May, on measures for further encouraging railway construction throughout the province. Details of the program are not likely to be announced for several weeks, there has been no official announcement with regard to the question of redistribution, and it is not known whether there will Lie a readjustment of electoral districts at this session. Important legislation having the effect of readjusting taxation will be brought in during the session. The report of the royal commission which investigated the subject was presented to the premier today, and will be transmitted to the legislature at an early date. On the question of better terms in the matter of the financial relations between the province and the Dominion, it is expected that the administration early in the session will be in a position to announce a satisfactory agreement between the two governments. On good authority it is reported that Hon. Mr. McBride will announce his intention to open negotiations with the British foreign office regarding the admission of Asiatics to this province. EQUITABLE BUILDING DESTROYED BY EIRE Six Lives Lost and Ten Million Dollars Damage Done. Will Build Record Breaker. New York, Jan. 11: On Tuesday the nine-story marble building of the Equitable Life was burned, with a loss of $10,000,000. It was the home of a dozen great corporations, whose securities are in the safe deposit vaults, which are now encased in debris and ice, which wreckers are clearing away. It is believed the contents are uninjured. The fire caused six deaths. Two are missing and 23 injured, The body of Batal- lion Chief Walsh has been recovered, with those of two other firemen. Throe employees of th= restaurant where the fire started are dead. The company will erect a 62-story building on the same site. Bank Robbers Caught clal 1" The -Mliu r) RICH NEW AREA LOCATED Hazelton Men Return To Tell of Great Extension of Field ���Located Coal for Twentyfive Miles On Main Skeena and Stikine Headwaters. That the extent and value of the Groundhog coal fields will surprise the mining world is becoming more and more evident. Robert McDonald and T. E. Hankin, who returned on Wednesday from the upper Skeena, report that in the valley of the main branch of the river, and extending across to the headwaters of the Stikine, there is a newly-discovered coal field which gives every evidence of being at least as important as the adjoining area, which has been located for some time, and upon which engineers have reported so favorably as to create not a little excitement among the coal operators of the country. The returned explorers, who located a large area of coal land for the B. C. Brokerage company and associated operators, say the valley in which the latest discoveries have luen made is twenty-five miles long, with a width reaching five miles in places. The new locutions have the largest number of exposures of any part of the Groundhog district, says Mr. McDonald, who told the Miner "The quantity is there, and there is every reason to believe the quality of the coal is equal to that of the partially developed portions of the field." As tests prove the Groundhog coal to be equal to the Pennsylvania product, it is evident that the locators have a very high opinion of the new ground. The trail to the upper part of the Groundhog field, which leaves the telegraph trail near the fifth cabin, is a relic of the Klondike rush, and is almost impassable. Efforts ore being made to secure an appropriation from the government for the construction of a new trail, which will be urgently needed in the spring, when claim owners send outfits in to prospect the measures exposed in the valleys of, the big coal field. Statement of Provincial Finances Shows Highly Satisfactory Condition (Special In The Miner) Victoria, January 12: At the opening session of the house today Hon. J. S. Helmcken, first speaker of the colonial assembly, and former premiers Semlin and Bevan were the chief visitors. Watson of Vancouver moved the address in reply to the speech from the throne, seconded by Lucas of Yale. Both dealt with the great advancement and bright prospects of the province. The provincial revenue for the past fiscal year was $10,492,000, compared with $8,874,000 for the previous year, an increase of over one and a half millions. The net expenditure was $8,159,- 000, compared with $0,383,000 in 1910. At the end of March last provincial assets exceeded all liabil ities by $1,497,000, with a cash; balance in bank and treasury of $8,744,000. Analyses of sources of income show development and expansion in all departments. Expenditures have been chiefly! for public works of permanent and remunerative chracter, which will remain substantial assets of the province. The work of the legislators will probably be completed within six weeks. It is reported that John Oliver, former Liberal leader, will be here for the session, to assist Brewster, the only Liberal member, in framing an opposition policy. This unique i departure in political methods: will be watched with interest. Hawthornthwaite, the Socialist; leader, is in England, and is notj expected to return for a month. | New Westminster, ��� Jan. 12: Word has been received here of I the arrest in New York of John Jfl FORT GEORGE IN FALL McNamara, charged, together] with Charles Dean, who is under arrest at Los Angeles, with complicity in the robbery of the Bank of Montreal here in September, when $270,000 was "stolen. The Pinkertons, who made the arrests, have been on the trail of the suspects for two weeks. Railway Construction from Tete Jaune Cache Westward Must lie Rushed. Outlaw Reported Dead Reports originating among the | Naas river Indians are to the ef-! feet that Simon Gun-a-noot, the! Indian outlaw, is dead of pneumonia in the northern part of this district, where he has been a fugitive since June, 1906, when he killed Alex Mcintosh and Max LeClaire here. So far as known, Simon has not been seen by any white man since he took to the hills, though parties seeking his capture have at times been hot on his trail. The new Y. M. C. A. clubhouse at Ross's long tunnel camp is I being furnished and placed in' condition for use. (Special to The lllner) Vancouver, Jan. 8:-Contractor Welch, with Chief Engineer Kelliher of the G. T. P., left today for Prince Rupert, en route to Hazelton. He says the company's instructions are that the main line from Tete Jaune Cache to Fort George must be completed early next fall. Sub-contractors are now freighting supplies over sleigh roads and establishing camps with a view to as early a start as possible. The line from Aldermere to Fort George is also to be rushed. These sub-contracts have been awarded west from the Cache: Carleton, of Edmonton, 25 miles; Griffin & Wilson, Spokane, 25 miles; Bums-Jordan Co., Spokane, 50 miles; Sims Bros., Gary, 70 miles. J.

The Legislative Program In political circles there is a general belief that the provincial government has decided upon the dissolution of the assembly at the close of the present session, which will be followed within a compartively short time by a general election. The object of the administration will be to secure the endorsation of the important railway policy which has been prepared, and which includes provision for the railway which is to connect the vast Peace river district with the commercial centers of the province. In addition to the Peace river road, semi-official reports say, the government proposes to secure the construction of branch lines to develop several of the newer districts of British Columbia. Railways for New Districts The announcement of the new railway policy will be awaited with the greatest interest by the people of this district, who indulge in the not unreasonable hope that such assistance as necessary will be given a railway from this point to the upper Skeena district, where vast areas of the finest coal await development. Such a road will open up a country which has resources sufficient to add materially to the wealth of the province. It will tap a hundred miles of excellent mineral country before reaching the coal district, providing the transportation necessary for the exploration and development of the rich veins which are known to exist to the north of Hazelton and greatly increasing the importance of this town as a distributing center. May Readjust Constituencies The revision of the statutes, which is now in progress, allows of numerous necessary amendments being embodied in various acts without the passage of separate bills, the ratification and endorsement of the revised statutes being sufficient. This will reduce the amount of sessional business considerably, so that the session is not likely to be unduly prolonged. After the railway policy, the subject of greatest interest is likely to be redistribution, if that matter is dealt with at this session. It is held by some in authority that a redistribution of seats should not be undertaken until population in the newer districts is on a more settled basis. The people of Omineca district, however, are not likely to be satisfied if redistribution is delayed. This district is large enough and important enough to have a member of its own in the provincial house, while its population, even in this stage of development, is greater than that of several of the provincial constituencies. Almost all the interests of the people of this district are distinctly separate from those of the coast district of the Skeena constituency, while the present electorial division is of such extent that one member cannot adequately represent it. We trust the government will not call an election without taking steps to give us the recognition to which we are entitled. Proposed Department of Forestry New legislation affecting the administration of lands and timber is likely to be introduced during the session. The nature of the proposed changes has not been announced, though the minister of lands states that a bureau of forestry and conservation is to be established. (Ion. W. R. Ross has been devoting much attention and energy to the duties of his office, and the new legislation may be expected to improve the existing land laws. Will Spend Millions on Public Works In the matter of public works, "Good Roads" Taylor, minister of works, announces that increased expenditures will bo provided for. His department recognizes the claims of this part of iiio province to better roads, and our requirements will receive due attention when tho appropriations for roads, trails and bridges are being made. It is probable that the present road district will be divided, experience having shown that the present territory of the road superintendent is much too large for one official to be able to give every portion of it the necessary attention. Reformation of Tax System The full report of the taxation commission is now in the hands of the premier, and will be submitted to the legislature early in the session. The members of the commission conducted an exhaustive enquiry into the taxation system of the province, collecting a large amount of data and evidence, which, with their conclusions and recommendations, will form the basis of legislation intended to improve the existing system. None will deny that reform in our methods of taxation is very necessary. In preparing new legislation bearing on the subject, the house is fortunate in having a comprehensive report on the question from such able men as those who composed the commission. Revenue Has Increased The financial statement to be presented to the house will show a gratifying increase in revenue, justifying the larger expenditures which have been decided upon by the government. In addition to ordinary public works appropriations, which will be subject to a considerable increase, the additions to the legislative buildings and the construction of the provincial university at Point Grey will call for a large expenditure. British Columbia is exceedingly fortunate in having not only a large surplus, which is in the bank, and not merely on paper, but also a revenue which is more than sufficient to provide for the enormous expenditures necessitated by the opening up of large areas of new country. Sane Mining Pays According to a compilation made by Mining and Engineering World, the eleven months of 11911 have been profitable to ; holders of stock of sanely operated mining companies to the (extent of $75,052,767. Participating in these disbursements 1 were 149 companies, 112 operating in the United States, 19 in [Mexico, 17 in Canada and one in Central America. The total disbursements of these 149 companies, including the November declarations, reach the total of '��� $766,189,382. This, based on the total issued capital of the 149 companies, is equivalent to a return of 107 per cent, or approximately $55,000,000 in excess of the outstanding capital. Not included in above disbursements are those made by eight securities holding corporations, whose profits are derived from holdings in other companies. The declarations made by these companies during the eleven months of 1911 total $12,848,390, and since incorporation, $130,601,587, a four per cent, return on their assured share capital of $319,399,500. (T The Agricultural Journal of British Columbia, the second number of which has just reached us, promises to become a very useful periodical, deserving of the support of the farmers of the province. It is published in Victoria. The Cynic Says A bore never pays much attention to the busy signal. Some men are so active that they never find time to settle down to work. Some men quit their bad habits every day. Even a homely girl doesn't want to be described in plain language. Disappointment is often only a turn in the road to the highest I appointment. fhe great life expects to fail 'often, but it determines never to istay in failure. Some men manage to dodge the trials fate has in store for them by not getting married. Seeing the way that others | should go is not equivalent to going in the way we see. It is only the sneaking kind of 1 enemy a brave man fears. The prodigal son went wrong, but he came back all right. The upper crust of society isn't always founded upon dough.

R. has sold the steamer Amur to a company which will use the vessel for carrying ore from the Britannia mine, Howe Sound, to the Tacoma smelter. The Granby smelter at Grand Forks has been blown in.

Balfour, the retired leader of the Unionist party in Great Britain, contemplates an extended visit to Canada, for the personal inspection of his large property holdings in the Dominion. He has an annual income of $250,000. A. J. Morley, mayor of Victoria, is said to be ambitious for the leadership of the Liberal party in British Columbia. Hon. Wm. Templeman, who was also mentioned for the position, is said to have determined upon withdrawal from politics. During the present session the minister of lands will propose some new legislation, one of the principal items being an act to provide for the establishment in British Columbia of a forestry bureau, similar, in many respects, to the organization which has done such gocd work in the United States. Victoria, January 10: ��� Hon. Thomas Taylor, minister of public works, is engaged in getting things in shape for the session and preparing estimates for roads and other necessary public works. Mr. Taylor is of the opinion that the amount to be asked from the legislature at the next session for roads in the province will be considerably larger than was voted last year. Public works is the great spending department of the provincial administration, no less than $5,- 500,000 of the seven millions voted last year going to work under the charge of this depart- i ment. "Last year," says Mr. Taylor, "the estimated revenue of the province was seven millions and the government figured to spend it all, being of the opinion that it is not wise policy to keep a surplus when there is so much that requires to be done in the way of development. As it happened, however, our estimates of revenue were below the mark and the actual revenue for the year will be in the neighborhood of $10,500,000. This will put us in a position to do much more next year, and I would not be surprised if the expenditure on roads would be increased by another two million dollars, but that of course is for the legislature to say. "A great deal of this prospective new expenditure is necessitated by the influx of settlers to Northern British Columbia. They are pouring into that country and they must be provided for. I expect that the amount spent on public works in that section of the province will be greatly augmented next year as compared with previous years.'' ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft Lost Fox Terrier, female, answering to name of Fan ny.
