SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1912 PRICE $2.00 A YEAR TO DEVELOP Expenditure of Sixteen Millions for Public Undertakings is Proposed in House ESTIMATES PRESENTED Ambitious Program of Improvements Include. Five Million! for Road, and Bridget���Prorogation of Legislature Expected on Tuetday or Wednesday (Special to The Miner) Victoria, Feb. 23:���The session is rapidly drawing to a close. The ministers look for prorogation on Tuesday or Wednesday. The estimates for the year were submitted yesterday. They provide for the most ambitious program of public undertakings ever presented to the legislature for approval. The receipts are estimated at $10,387,000 and the expenditures a t $16,270,000. These estimates exceed those of last year by $2,000,000 and $5,- 000,000 respectively. In addition to the main estimates for expenditure are supplementaries exceeding $700,000. This program anticipates a deficit for the year of about $6,750,000. The actual defict will be considerably lower, as the receipts will probably exceed estimates by several million, as has been the experience of the past. The idea of the administration is that the money now lying in the bank should be used for the development and improvement of resources more productive than deposits merely drawing the bank rate of interest. The chief items of expenditure, other than civil government, salaries, administration of justice, etc., are: Education, $2,200,000. Public works and buildings $3,000,000. Roads, streets, bridges and wharves, $5,027,000. Subsidies and contingencies, $200,000. For public works the unprecedented total is $8,236,000, including $300,000 for the new addition to the parliament buildings and appropriations for new hospitals, courthouses, etc., chiefly in lower British Columbia. For the Burrard Inlet bridge, in connection with the Vancouver-Fort George line, $400,000 is provided, conditional on appropriations by the Dominion and the muncipalities concerned. The bridge will cost $1,500,000. For agricultural purposes the appropriations total $280,000, or $100,000 greater than last year. Twenty-five thousand dollars is provided for the cost of four royal commissions to deal with agriculture, labor, municipal matters, and better terms. Brewster attacked the railway policy of the government, being answered by Bowser, who replied to the arguments of the opposition member in a vigorous and laudatory speech on the railways and administration of the whole province. He declared the governmental control of railway rates would be a reality. Two sessions will be held on Saturday. Hazelton 4, Telkwa 3 Hazelton won a fast and hard- fought hockey game from the Telkwa team this afternoon. The score was four goals to three. Each team scored three goals in the first half, Hazelton alone finding the net in the second period. Roosevelt Will Run New York: Ex - President Roosevelt, in response to the request of the governors of eight states, has announced his willingness to accept the Republican nomination for a third term. Good Ore at Depth In Rocher de Boule Having driven the crosscut tunnel 174 feet, slightly further than the estimated distance, the manager of the Rocher de Boule property announces the tapping of the lower vein at a depth of 100 feet on the lead. On the footwall the vein carries five feet of chalcopyrite ore carrying about nine per cent copper. At the point where the tunnel cuts the vein, the granite horse which separates the copper and galena ores on the surface is not in evidence, the silver-lead ore showing on the hanging wall, without even a gouge between it ancl the copper. J. A. Cowan, who is in charge of the property, told The Miner yesterday that drifts would be run both ways from the tunnel. (Continued ou page ten) HIDE'S RAILWAY POLICY PROVIDES FOR MANY LINES Premier Introduces Six Bills, Covering Eight Hundred and Forty-five Miles of New Lines, to Cost Over Twenty-six Millions- Will Probably Submit Question to People MRS. SEALY DEAD MOURNED BY MANY Hazelton Sustains Loss in Passing Away of Estimable And Popular Lady A great many of the people of Hazelton and the district have a feeling of personal bereavement since the death on Thursday morning of Mrs. Helen M. Sealy, wife of John C. K. Sealy of Hazelton and eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. F. Morison. Of an unassuming and lovable disposition, Mrs. Sealy possessed a large number of friends. Her kindly nature and untiring activity in good works gained her the esteem and regard of all with whom she came in contact, and her loss will be deeply felt in Hazelton. Suffering from a malady which all the skill of physicians failed to cure, she accepted her lot, uncomplaining. When told that the operation, by which it was hoped her life would be saved, was of no avail, she faced death with smiling courage. The deceased lady was in her twenty-ninth year. Her parents and her sister, Miss Victoria Morison, for many years residents of Hazelton, are now in Port Essington, her brother, John W. Morison, residing here. The sympathy of everyone in the district will go out to Mr. Sealy and the family of the departed in the hour of their bereavement. The funeral will be held tomorrow afternoon, leaving the Sealy residence at two o'clock for St. Peter's, where the church service will be held. Victoria, Feb. 21:���In mileage the McBride railway policy of 1912 duplicates very nearly that of 1910, the total number of miles provided for in the new program being 845. The railway construction arranged for within three years includes about 1840 miles of road. The extent of the liability involved under the six bills brought down yesterday by the Premier aggregates, with respect to bonded indebtedness about $25,000,- 000, while the cash considerations will total $1,850,000. This raises the amount, under both policies, up to date, to $46,000,000 in bonded indebtedness and $2,600,- 000 in cash. In addition to its present subsidies, the Canadian Northern will receive assistance in the construction of 150 miles of railway on Vancouver Island, from Campbell River to Hardy Bay. Bonds of the road will be guaranteed by the government up to $35,000 a mile. This line will provide an entrance into Strathcona Park. Another new railway on Vancouver Island will be built by the C. P. R., which has arranged to construct a line from Parksville to Comox. The Kettle Valley railway will be given a cash guarantee of $10,000 a mile, approximately $500,000 in all. The province will also appropriate $200,000 for a bridge over the Fraser river at Hope, affording connection between the Kettle Valley and the Canadian Pacific and provid- a short line from Vancouver to the Kootenays. The V. V. & E. is to have running rights over the line satisfactory to the Great Northern. As a consideration for taking over the Kaslo & Slocan railway, the C. P. R. will receive from the province $100,000. It will cost the railway company $400,- 000 to take over the Slocan line, which is now the property of the Great Northern. The province agrees to purchase the unsold portions of the B. C. Southern and Columbia & Western railways. The deal involves the payment of $1,000,- 000. An extension of the Canadian Northern from Kamloops to Vernon and thence to Lumby, and a line from Vernon to Kelowna has been arranged, also a line from Vernon to the East Arm of Okanagan Lake, opposite Okanagan Landing, a distance in all of 145 miles. Speech of Premier in Explanation Of Administration's Railway Program In From Copper River Amos Godfrey arrived today from thc Copper River Coal Co's property. He expresses great satisfaction with the work which has been done under the direction of F. B. Chettleburgh, who accompanied him to Hazelton, and who will leave in a few days for the Groundhog coal field. Mr. Godfrey is confident that the Copper river property, when development plans are carried out, will supply all the coke required In this district. Victoria, Feb. 22:���Upon the second reading of the Premier's six railway bills yesterday, Mr. McBride in a lengthy and able address explained the provisions of each and incidentally gave a forecast of the advantages he expects the province to derive from the construction of the various lines. He intimated vaguely that an appeal to the people was probable, without suggestion of a date. At the close of his speech he was surrounded by members and others, I who warmly congratulated him upon his railway policy and his exposition. Brewster moved the adjournment of thc debate on five of the bills, Williams acting in thc case of the sixth. In the course of his address the Premier was careful to point out that the Pacific Great Eastern willbeindependentof theG.T.P., the C. P. R. and all other lines. Adverting to the Great Northern, he declared that J. J. Hill had proven better at promises than performances. The speaker also intimated that the Canadian 1'acific might very well have done more than it has for the development of the province; but added that the railway was waking up, now that rivals have appeared. Continuing, Mr. McBride stated that arrangements would be made at once for taking over the Howe Sound-Pemberton line. Referring to the vast and fertile L'eace River district, he said: "The government has not gone so far in the present proposals as to provide for an extension from Fort George to the Peace river; but we would have you take the bill we submit today as an earnest of the intention of the govern ment to press on with the work of providing transportation for the northern part of the country. All such efforts will be based in the future, as in the past, on closest enquiry and investigation. Just as soon as time and conditions warrant it, we propose to leave nothing undone to connect the Peace River district with the older settled districts of the south, so that we may preserve this great country and its resources for our own people and our own interests." Speaking on the possibility of an appeal to the people, the Premier said, "The government, under ordinary conditions, would be entitled to remain for another session; but if we think these proposals are of such great weight and importance as to justify an appeal to the people, we will appear before that great jury and look to them for that endorsement to which hard and honest work and efficient administration rightly entitle us." After explaining the features and details of each bill, the speaker told of the prosperity of the prosperity of the present and that which would follow with the new railways, which would be completed at the time of the opening of the Panama Canal, which would bring great additional expansion of the trade of the province. In 1904 British Columbia had but 650 miles of standard guage railway, yet in the present year the mileage constructed or assured, largely through the present administration, is 2,990 built or under contract; to which must be added the 845 miles included in the six bills now before the house for endorsement." May Prevent Strike London: The British Government is using every effort to prevent the threatened general strike of the coal miners. Eight hundred thousand voted to strike on February 29. PEACE RIVER Former Minister Returns to Commons Foley, Welch & Stewart and Associates Form Company To Construct the Road G.T, P. WAIVESITS RIGHTS Renfrew, Ont, Feb. 22:���Hon. George P. Graham was elected in South Renfrew by-election by a majority of 300 over Dr. Ma- loney. Contrary to all precedent, Sir Wilfrid Laurier spoke in the contest. The member-elect will occupy the vacant seat next to Laurier, and will be his first lieutenant. It is expected that on Sir Wilfrid's retirement from politics, Graham will succeed him as leader of the Liberals. King May Return Ottawa, Feb. 22.-It is stated that A. H. Clarke, Liberal member for South Essex, intends to remove to Calgary and will resign his seat. Mackenzie King, one of the defeated liberal ministers, will be the opposition can didate. Section North of Fort George Not Yet Provided for- Road to That Point Must be Completed in 1915���Local Men Interested in Company GRAND TRUNK WANTS GROUNDHOG CHARTER Transcontinental Road In- tends to Build Line From Hazelton to Coalfields Victoria, Feb. 21:-The immense coal measures of the upper Skeena are receiving their meed of attention from railway operators. Applications for two railway charters, for lines to tap the Groundhog field, will be made to the Legislature in the course of a few days, according to the Sun. According to the report, Mackenzie & Mann are to apply for a charter for an extension of the Portland Canal Short Line from Stewart. This road will be some ninety miles long. The Grand Trunk Pacific is also to apply for power to build to the Groundhog basin, with Hazelton as its point of departure. The distance is given as 150 miles. Information to the above effect was disclosed during the recent meeting here of the Western branch of the Canadian Mining Institute. Should the Mann application be favored it will undoubtedly mean the extension of the fourteen-mile railway now constructed out of Stewart, on Portland Canal, to the upper Skeen", by way of Bear River valley. Bucey Goes to Fraser Captain "Joe" Bucey, the well known navigator of the Skeena, I in a letter to the Miner, states; that he will operate on the upper Fraser during the coming season. He will have command of the new boat which is being constructed for the B. C. Express Co., and which will run in connection with the B. X. She will be slightly smaller than the B. X., her dimensions being 120 feet in length and 26 feet in beam. She will have all the latest equipment, and is expected to be the last word in river boats. Richard Dennison and Harry Talbot will be the engineers and Frank Waller will be first officer. Captain Bucey and the officers named, who were all on the Port Simpson last season, should make as good a record on the Fraser as they enjoyed on the Skeena. (Special to Thi> Miner) Victoria, Feb. 20:���One of the chief incidents of the present session of the legislature was the announcement by Premier McBride, at three o'clock this afternoon, of the railway policy of the administration. The principal feature of the program as outlined by Mr. McBride is the arrangement with Foley, Welch & Stewart, by which that firm, under the name of the Pacific Great Eastern Railway, will build a line from Fort George to North Vancouver and New Westminster. This will be the first link in the Peace River line, absorbing the partially constructed Howe Sound-Pemberton line. Foley, Welch & Stewart will receive from the provincial government the same bond guarantees and assistance as has been given the Canadian Northern. No announcement was made regarding the extension of the line beyond Fort George or the necessary ferry service from the mainland to Victoria. The bill authorizing the Fort George line contains clauses similar to that passed in 1910 for the Canadian Northern. Work is to start within ten miles of Vancouver this summer, in July at the very latest. Fair wages are to be paid. Supplies are to be purchased in the province. The government will control rates, the company agreeing not to appeal to the Railway Board. In case of appeal by others the company is bound to represent to the commissioners that it is satisfied with rates as fixed by the government. The bill also includes free grants of land required for right-of-way and townsites. The construction and equipment of the road must be of the best. Foley, Welch & Stewart and their associates, in turn, agree with the G. T. P. that the latter shall waive its charter rights on this route, in return for which, the former agree that if they receive offers for the purchase of control of the company, the proposals shall be submitted to the G. T. P., which shall have the first right to acquire the line, the option to continue for sixty days. Interchange of traffic between the two roads is provided for. The capital of the road is to be $25,000,000. The line must be completed by July 1, 1915. Other members of the company, in addition to the big contracting linn, are said to be D'Arcy Tate, of Winnipeg: Donald McLeod) of Vancouver and Vernor W. Smith, of Hazelton. A Townsite I Junior Some little excitement was occasioned by a rumor which circulated during the week, to the effect that the G. T. P. had decided upon a change in the location of its Bulkley valley j divisional point, and that the town would be in the vicinity of I Chicken Lake. No authoritative I information is obtainable.

With these influential organizations working in concert, there is no doubt their representations will be given consideration. The business and political organizations of Prince Rupert will also be asked to endorse the project, the carrying out of which will mean much to the new terminal city. Today's despatches convey news that the Grand Trunk Pacific is about to make application for a charter giving it power to construct a railway to Groundhog; but the people of the west have learned by experience that the granting of a charter does not always entail the building of a railway, and it behooves the business men of the district and all who are interested in the future of Omineca to continue, without intermission, the campaign which is being inaugurated.

Martin Burrell, in a speech at Toronto, announced that the Dominion government proposed to take aggressive steps in the near future to co-operate with the provinces in working out of schemes for lhe betterment of agriculture. Senator Reed of Missouri has introduced a resolution providing for a constitutional amendment to bar any man from holding the office of president of the United States more than two terms of four years each, the filling of an unexpired term to be regarded as a full term.

Leaders of the general strike at Brisbane, Australia, state that all the trade unions of the Commonwealth are awaiting the word to strike in sympathy with the Brisbane men, who are fighting for the right to wear union buttons while at work.

Fanning Island, recently acquired for $350,000 by Canadian and English capitalists, will be made a free port, similar to Hong Kong, with large wharves and shipping facilities, big oil tanks and coal bunkers to supply fuel to the steamships which ply via Panama canal, and it is likely that the British Admiralty will provide for a naval base and repair shops there for the use of warships in the Pacific. The Alaska-Canadian boundray survey will be completed this year, according to the present plans of those in charge of the work. A party of 25 men will leave Seattle for the north soon and will cover the last stretch to the Arctic Ocean. A similar party will complete the work south to Scotia Pass in the White River disttict.

Six or seven blocks in the business center of any town or city always command the highest figures. Outside this radius property values decrease in direct ratio as the distance from this center increases. Get in the business center In NEW HAZELTON this business center will be created by the Old Hazehon Business Men themselves. To any who have not already bought we advise immediate action, as outside buyers are quick to realize this point and are snapping up lots surrounding where Old Hazelton people have bought.

Get in the business center Now, you may say, "I'll wait. I may not want to continue in business in this district, or if I do, I may be able to get in cheaper after awhile." In answer to such an argument we would say that every indication points to an era of prosperity for this district undreamed of before. HAZELTON is on the tip of everyone's tongue all over the continent, and a rush of population and capital to this district is assured for the coming spring. You know we have the resources and attractions to keep them here. Only one time- that's now So if you buy now, on the inside of NEW HAZELTON, you will be protecting yourself; for even if you do not use your property yourself, you will be able to sell, at a handsome profit, to someone who does. vttv THEi OMINECA MINER, SATURDAY.

New Hazelton ^!- The speech delivered at Glasgow by Winston Churchill, First Lord of the Admiralty, at the luncheon of the Clyde Navigation Trust was received with much enthusiasm. After referring to the naval resources of the Clyde, Mr. Churchill said ho was able to give a very good account of the navy. Ship for ship, it was superior to that of any other power. The latest 13.5 guns were some of the finest weapons which Great Britain possessed. He believed that the navy was in a high state of preparedness for a sudden call. (Cheers.) The rumors of unpreparedness last year were absolutely baseless, and h e hoped that the creating of the war staff, which was already working, would render such rumors impossible. Moreover, a class of officers was being consistently trained to deal with the higher problems o f stategy and organization. Continuing, Mr. Churchill affirmed that Great Britain never had any thought of aggression nor attributed such thought t o other great powers. There were, however, differences between British naval power and that of a great friendly empire which he trusted would long remain friendly ��� the empire o f Germany. (Great applause.) For Great Britain the navy was necessary, while from some points of view the German navy was in the nature of a luxury; what was existence to us was expansion to them. We could not, if we wished, menace the peace of a single continental hamlet, but, on the other hand, the whole fortunes of our race and empire, the whole treasure accumulated by centuries of sacrifice and achievement, would perish, would be utterly swept away, if our naval supremacy were in danger. He believed that a considerable body of public opinion favored the flotation of a great naval loan. This could be presently floated with perfect ease and on the best of terms; but what use would it be to the navy? Great Britain has built enough ships to secure effective command of the sea, and it was sheer waste to build more than ��� were necessary for that purpose !in any one year. What was wanted was steady building on a regular plan; no sensational or violent departure from existing methods was re- ] quired. Navies could not be I am from NEW HAZELTON created or disbanded in a year. Their regular development could be best secured by large annual supplies of money, not by means of great loans. (Cheers.) Mr. Churchill thought, however, that instead of an annual appropriation the naval expenditure should be presented to the House of Commons so as to command a survey of a period of several years. There was no need of any anxiety as to our shipbuilding capacity. It was sufficient to say that it was unequalled in the world. There was no chance of our being overtaken in naval construction while money for shipbuilding was left, and no occasion for alarm, either, in regard to the personnel of the navy. There were 135,000 trained long-service men, also the naval reserve, of which more use would be made in the future. Whatever might happen abroad, there would be no whining here, no signals of distress. No cries for help would go up. We would face the future like our ancestors, without fear or arrogance, but with solid and inflexible determination. Great Britain, said Mr. Churchill in continuation, would be the first power to welcome a retardation or slackening of naval rivalry. She would meet any such slackening not with words, but with deeds. But if there were to be increases on the continent, she would have no trouble in meeting them. Naval competition was becoming more acute, but Great Britain would not only increase the number of her ships, but the ratio of her naval strength to that of the other great naval powers. Germany was a great power, respected ancl honored all over the world before she had a single ship. These facts ought to be clearly stated, because the suggestion that the naval risks of Great Britain and Germany were on an equality were utterly untrue. The government had resolved to maintain the naval supremacy which the country enjoyed. They, none of them, would tolerate his presence on the Admiralty for a single hour unless satisfied that all steps were being taken to secure the safety of the country. SHOW ME!

Upwards of 40,- 000 colliers employed in the mines of Derbyshire, have already handed in their notices to quit work. China's Troubles The Empress Dowager of China has issued an edict instructing Premier Yuan Shi Kai to establish a republic in co-operation with the southern republicans. Yuan Shi Kai is now endeavoring to persuade the Nanking government to hand over the control of affairs to enable him to carry on the administration of the whole empire until the national convention appoints a permanent government and adopts a constitution. It is considered doubtful whether the republicans In Nanking will consent to this. It is believed that the only solution possible is the creation of two provisional governments and the continuation of temporary control. Yuan Shi Kai is opposed to the transfer of the capital of Nanking, but there appears to he a close understanding between the Imperial Premier and the republicans, who have again offered him the presidency. The fact that the abdication of the throne has been decided upon is not known to the general public in Pekin, and the successful manner in which the transition is being effected leaves small apprehension of disturbances.

Winchester, Eng., Feb. 20:- Heinrich Grosse, a German merchant, who was arrested here on a charge of espionage, was sentenced to three years penal servitude. The trial presented a striking contrast to the German methods in espionage cases, especially in the trial of Bertrand Stewart, the English lawyer, recently sentenced by the Leipsic imperial court to three years' imprisonment. Grosse was tried in open court by a jury. He pleaded not guilty, I He testified that he was the son 'of a German judge, and come to I England in order to do business J in German coal in the event of a i national strike in England. The evidence showed that Grosse tried to get information as to the armament of submarine vessels, the specifications as to arming merchant ships in event | of war, the extent of naval coal reserves and other matters valuable to an enemy. Taken in conjunction with the conviction and sentence of Captain Heinrich Crosse on the charge of being a German spy, i there is no lack of warlike head- i lines in today's papers. As might ! naturally be expected the opportunity is not missed of calling attention to the differences in English and German methods of procedure in such cases. Crosse, on whose person incriminating letters and cipher dispatches were found, was tried in open court, so that everyone might know the evidence against him, and he was sentenced to three years. Stewart, on the other hand, whose conviction has aroused such indignation in England, was tried in secret and nobody except the German officials who tried him know to this day the evidence against him. Correspondence. Editor Miner: The editorial in your last issue dealing with the future railway facilities of Groundhog mountain brings up the one really important need of Hazelton-Old or New. There- ports of R. C. Campbell-Johnson and G. S. Malloch leave little doubt in mind that the coal is there, in thousands of millions of tons. This coal must be marketed and the route with all natural conditions in its favor, all else being even, should be the one adopted. The main points in favor of the road up the Skeena from Hazelton are: An all down hill haul from the i mines to Prince Rupert. A new line through the Coast j range would entail a duplication of the enormous cost and huge maintenance charges of the first 150 miles of the G. T. P. all of which would have to be met out of coal traffic alone for a long period and perhaps always. The coal can actually be hauled cheaper from the mines to Prince Rupert by way of Hazelton than by any other route. British Columbia is morally bound to support Prince Rupert rather than to weaken its prestige by forcing into existence rival towns. A line from Hazelton will in due course give all-rail connection with Vancouver by the G. T. P. The market for Groundhog coal will be as much east as west and the G. T. P. must have its share of all traffic or be wiped off the map, in a business way. The construction of this line from Hazelton means five thousand more people as permanent residents of New Hazelton, almost a certainty that any smelters located in this district will be near here, a large market for the farm produce of this part of the country and the opening up of a hundred miles of new mineral country.

TAKING VOTE ON UNION OF CHURCHES Presbyterians Deciding Important Question of Uniting with Other Denominations. ence, the committee having authority to decide upon all applications. Members and adherents of Hazelton Presbyterian Church will vote by ballot on the question of Church Union at the evening service on Sunday, March 2. The proposed union of the Presbyterian, Methodist ' and Congregational Churches of Canada, which is now being voted upon in a plebiscite of the members and adherents of the churches concerned, is attracting a great deal of attention, mostly of a favorable nature. The Union Committee has agreed upon bases of doctrine, polity, law and administration which are likely to be acceptable to a large majority in the three denominations. It is proposed that the governing bodies or courts of the Church, higher than the pastoral charge, shall be: (a) The Presbytery (District Meeting or Association). (b) The Annual Conference (Synod or Union). (c) The General Council (Conference or Assembly). It is thought that the harmony of the two principles of a settled pastorate and the itinerancy is possible, and it is proposed that the pastoral relation shall be without time limit; but that ministers or churches ma, aty the end of any year, seek a change through application to the Settlement Committee of the Confer- WATER NOTICE.

Want Immense Loan Shanghai, Feb. 20:���Chinese revolutionary chiefs here declare that immediately any world power formally recognizes the proclaimed republic of China as an actually existing state, the Chinese revolutionists will be given $250,000,000 to support the new nation, a powerful syndicate of American and British financiers, including interests affiliated with the Standard Oil Company, having guaranteed this tremendous sum. In return for this enormous loan, New China grants to the syndicate a monopoly on the development of oil and mineral wealth in China. Revolutionary leaders consider this a fair plan. But Japanese and Russian financiers are pressing China with counter demands and threaten to interfere if preference is shown Americans.

The long bridge over the outlet of Decker lake, on the North Francois road, was finished on Thursday, and Foreman McKinnon and his crew are now on their way down the valley. The bridge over the Nadina river, at the head of Francois lake, is also about ready for traffic. These two bridges, for which the settlers of the lake district have ; been anxiously waiting for some time, afford much-needed connection with the roads of the Bulkley, and give nearly every resident of the district direct access to the railway.

Steam drills and equipment are now in Prince Rupert, and will be installed on the property as soon as possible, and a plan of vigorous development will be carried ! out. Three Mails a Week The increase in the amount of traffic on the Skeena has necessitated increased train service, ancl the G. T. P. is now running three trains a week out of Prince Rupert, leaving that city on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday.

The stages leave this town on Monday, Thursday and Saturday, returning, according to the present schedule on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. The firm has made plans for connection by stage with the end of steel as the rails are laid into the Bulkley valley, and will be prepared to carry mails and passengers between the railhead and Hazelton thrice a week, with a similar service to Aldermere and Telkwa. It is intended, as soon as conditions allow, to maintain a one-day schedule, and it is quite possible that before long daily trains will allow mails to be received and despatched every day. George Beirnes expects to leave for the south in the course of a few weeks, for the purpose of securing horses and gear for the necessary enlargement of the stage outfit.

Jardine The death occurred on Thursday morning of William Douglas Jardine, who has for some time occupied the position of accountant at the Hazelton Hotel. Deceased, who was well known throughout the district, having1 been accountant for Jean Caux (Cataline) and later for the Omineca Hotel, had for years suffered from asthma, which at times caused him much suffering. Latterly he had been incapacitated by the affliction, but for several days seemed better, and had returned to his duties. On Wednesday, however, he was confined to his bed by what proved to be a fatal seizure. Though of quiet disposition, deceased had many friends. He possessed an excellent tenor voice, which was frequently heard in entertainments. He was a member of Kamloops lodge, A. F. & A. M., and of Omineca Masonic Club. His brother, John Jardine, is M. L. A. for Esquimau. The funeral will be held this afternoon. 1111111111 NTS BI SALE A f We take stock at the close of our 60-day Sale.
