Official Photographer Took Photo Of Train—Ore For Trail Smelter Tho ten carloads of ore that made up the initial shipment from the Silver Standard Mine, near Hazelton, will he made an advertisement for that district. The ore reached here by train from New Hazelton a few days ago. Streamers the full length of the cars were tacked on to the freight carriers giving the information that this was ore from New Hazelton. Yesterday the official photographer for the Grand Trunk Pacific, Mr. uork, who reached the city on an official mission, took a photo of the cars as they stood in the yards. Assays ion Silver Standard ore, taking the average of over a hundred samples, run nearly $160 per ton.

They Have Gone to the Queen Charlotte islands to Study Salmon of This Coast. There n rived in the city yesterday morning by the Prince George, J. P. Babcock the fishery expert of the Provlnc al iJovernnient at Victoria, and Dr. Gilbert, of the United States, who is making a study of the life history of the salmon of this coast. They left last night for the Queen Charlottes, where they will remain for a week or two, returning by way of Prince Rupert. Last year Dr. Gilbert was in the north on the same mission, along with Mr. Babcock. They went into the head-waters of the Naas and gathered valuable information relative to the salmon. This work is being continued and in the report of the fishery department this year will be found a contribution from Dr. Gilbert on the subject. Speaking of the life history of the salmon, Dr. Gilbert firmly believe! in the generally-accepted verdict of the experts that this is for a period of from four to five years. This, he feels convinced, is borne out by all the experiments that have been conducted and he thinks that it is well established. He is a firm believer in the preservation of the fish by stringent measures. This, he says, should be done, and there is no more glaring example of the loss from the free untrammelled fishing of the rivers than is to be found in the depleted streams of the United States today.

It is estimated that all the ore included i™the first shipment will run around $150. Development work on the Silver Standard has been continued for the past two years and a considerable amount of work has been accomplished. At the present time a long crosscut tunnel is being driven from the lower level in the shaft on No. 2 vein to cut the No. 3 vein at a depth of several hundred feet. The No. 3 vein is the biggest on the property as yet discovered. At any time the Silver Standard mine will produce several trainloads of ore without any further development. It is not likely, however, that much ore will be taken out for shipment until the tunnel is completed, and until the Hagwilget bridge is ready for use. Among the visitors in the city for the last day or two has been J. F. McDonald, the Dominion Government constable on the Queen Charlotte Islands. He returned to the islands last evening. Most of his time at the present is taken up with looking after the Indians at North Island during season which is now on here. He expects to retire from the post and return to Prince Rupert shortly. Douglas, Arizona, June 25.—From Mexico comes the report that former Commander Ojeda in an effort to fight a way through the rebel cordon which surrounds his position in order to regain his base was repulsed.

Wilhelm Klere, Found to Have Violated the Laws of Nations, Will Serve Term. London, June 25.—Mr. Horne- Payne says he Is being misrepresented in Canada with respect to his warning to investors. He declares his warning was solely against certain municipal bonds. Mr. Horne- Payne says he advised British investors to buy Canadian securities. His words were to be directed against only the class of municipal deoeii- tures that he deemed risky. There seems to be no diminution in the halibut catches on the banks off the entrance to this harbor. The Andrew Kelly, Cai tain Stimson, of the Canadian Fish & Cold Storage Company, atrrived in last evening with a good catch. She had been out ouly five days and brought In over 100,000 pounds of fish. The quality was of the best and the unloading of them will be proceeded with at once. The company has on hand a large amount of frozen fish. The advantages of this port over all others on the coast as the centre of the halibut trade is being well proved this season. The taking of the fish so close to the harbor makes it possible to bring in the catch without waiting until the fish get in any manner stale. They are brought in here fresh and stored at once into cold storage, which is a decided factor in the business. o EXAMINATIONS ABE ON.

Mr. Hunter has put a lot of extra work In on his class and with a fair examination it is expected that there will he a large class enter the higii school after the holidays. The examination started yesterday in the public school. There was the usual excitement among the young folks who are now entering upon the line of examinations, this being the first one of a departmental character that is set for the scholars of the schools. The literature paper was the one upon which the most general condemnation fell from the pupils that are writing. An examination of the paper would indicate that the preparer of the paper certainly expected rather mature judgment in a literary way from pupils of that standing. Large Class of Pupils Are Writing on Tests Set to Decide Who Are Ready for High School. A very considerable number of pupils of the public school in this city are undergoing their first departmental examination. Principal Hunter has a class of about twenty- one writing on the high school entrance examination this year, which is a record number tor tbe school. The presiding examiner is Mr. Mc- Alartin.

NEW ZEALAND IS ALIVE TO HER DUTY TO EMPIRE Reference Made To The Dreadnaught That Has Been Built For The Antipodean Dominion By Local Paper—The Residents Of The South Are Proud To Aid The Motherland By The Gift Of A Great Battleship- It Is But An Act Of Gratitude For Past Protection Says The Aukland That the residents of New Zealand appreciate the services that have been rendered the various parts of the Empire without murmur by the Mother Land is shown by the following reference to the question arising out of the battleship New Zealand paying a visit to the different ports of the Southern Dominion. The Auckland Weekly News, in writing of the welcome given the warship there, stales: "To those who assume that the Roman Peace which British arms have established within the far-flung frontiers of our oceanic Empire is due to the progressing of humanity, it may seem inconsistent and paradoxical that a peace-loving people, in this twentieth century, should greet with enthusiasm this triumph of naval weapons and should be proud of having called It into being by their affectionate determination to aid the Mother Land in war. But to those who know whal Nelson did for the British and how every heroic seaman, from Alfred's day till now, has formed and paved and fenced the wide sea-road that is the highway of our Empire and has worked hand in hand with gallant soldiers in building and guarding the frontier-wall behind which we live in peace and freely work out our destiny, it Is different altogether. What. Britain Has Done. "New Zealand is our» because British seamen made every ocean open to British men, and remains ours because the seii-warilens of the Empire do sentry-go between us and harm. Owing to the Mother Land and lo all our loyal kindred this deep debt of gratitude, a debt of honor which no force could collect but which every instinct bids us remember, we are nationally glad to know that we have been able to give some expression to our feelings in presenting unconditionally to the Imperial Government a weapon such as tho ponderous battleship which has entered Port. Nicholson. Nearly 20,000 tons in dsplacement, driven at nearly 27 English miles an hour by engines exerting the strength of nearly thousand horses, armed with 12-ln. guns that will fling a half ton shell for miles with deadly precision, the New Zealand is a fighting ship which the greatest navies in the world would ralher have with them than against them.

Advertising Bates Upon Application, Tin sday, June 2 0, 1 !i I: BLAMES THE WAIL Sir William Whyte, who has just returned to Canada from England, attaches the blame for the money stringency of the present time in large measure to the unsettling of the international relations by the war in the Balkans, lie says: "Money is quite as light in England as elsewhere and it will remain so until Ihe Balkan trouble is thoroughly cleared up. II is hard to say what will happen in the near east, but if the groat powers remain in accord they can possibly bring sufficient persuasion to bear to ensure amicable relations," said Sir William "Trade continues very good," he added, "and conditions in general, despite the money stringency, are prosperous." Sir William said that as far as Canada was concerned there was a definite sentiment, in England that some of the cities had borrowed too fast and for a time at least the flow of English capital would be less rapid. Reverting to the question of finances in Canada's Wesl, Sir William said that the present stringency Ihe money market would, in the probably benefit, that part of the In try. §riioro is such a Ihing as being prosperous," ho said, "and this s to extravagance. .Money has i made too quickly and in vast units in our west." |-ir William said that all indica- polhted to a record year in I |iigration. lie had spent some ; Scotland and In thai conn- in particular the flow of people ".-iiiuda was causing concern.

This means that over half the pulpwood cut in Canada is exported in unmanufactured form, principally to the United States. It is estimated in the bulletin that had this exported pulpwood been manufactured into pulp n Canada the increase in the national dividend from this source would be over six and one-half million dollars. Yet all tluj provinces, with the exception of Nova Scotia, have placed restrictions on the exports of raw material, and the fact that, in spite of these restrictions, the quantity of wood exported in Ihe raw- state increased from 1911 to 1IH2, as well as the falllng-off in Canadian prices for pulpwood during this period, seems to Indicate over-production in ihe local market. Of perhaps special interest to the forester are the statistics showing forty p<-r cent. Increase in the use of balsam fir In the manufacture of wood pulp, To quote from Ihe bulletin, "News prlnl can be satisfactorily made from a mixture containing over forty per cent, balsam fir and sixty per cent, spruce, and the prejudice against Balsam fir is rapidly disappearing." Balsam fir is especially adapted for pulp, the wood being free from resin and having very long, strong fibres. It is, however, good for little else, and is at present viewed by foresters as a "weed-tree." As il is one of the most common species of Canadian trees, the developmenl of a market for this wood will In- viewed with satisfaction by both the forester and the private owner. Of Interest to the trade is I lie successful introduction of the sulphate process in the manufacture of chemical pulp. In this process sulphate of soda is added as a source of alkali and to make good the mechanical losses—ten per cent, approximately, —in the process of recovery of the soda. Three large Quebec mills used this process in 1912 with excellenl results. Spruce, with a small percentage of Balsam fir, was the wood used. As these are he principal Canadian pulp woods, he substitution of this method for the old soda process is not improbable. -i-44-4-+*-*-4.+ ***-**44*4 4*********** »»¥»¥-»»»» ¥»¥*»»»*»»»* LUMBER i * Coal, Cement, Plaster and Brick i AND A COMPLETE LINE OF BUILDERS' SUPPLIES I j WESTHOLME LUMBER CO., LTD. j * First Avenue Prince Rupert Telephone 186 I *-* **•* ************* *************************** ■> ++***■ t OUR BEST LEADER Rexall Glycerine Soap 15c the Cake.

THE SECRET OF THE PIG TREES INTERESTING WOiiK THAT HAS BEEN PREPARED BY WRITER IN UNITED STATES. Record of World's History Appears in the Rings of the California Big Trees. In the days of the Prophet Elijah sore famine afflicted the land of Palestine. No rain fell, the brooks ran dry, and dire distress prevailed. "Go through the land," said King Allah to the Prophet Obadlah, "unto all the fountains of water and into all the brooks; peradventure we may find grass and save the horses ami the mules alive, thai we lose not all the heasls." When Obadlah went forth in search of forage he fell in with his chief, Elijah, and brought him to Ahab, who greeted him as the troubler of Israel. Then Elijah prayed for rain, acording to the Bible story, and the famine stayed. From this famine in Palestine, some 870 years before Christ, to the forests of the Sierra Nevadas, in the twentieth century, is a far cry, hut the connecting link between ihe pasl and the present, between the ancient east and the modern west, is found in Hie big trees of California, tlie huge species known as Sequoia Washlngtoniana. In a book entitled "The Secret ot the Big Trees," by Ellsworth Huntington, recently published, it is shown that the growth rings in the big trees of California indicate thai in general the same sequence of climatic changes took place in California and Asia Minor. Curves indicating climatic conditions in California and Asia Minor show a remarkable resemblance between the two regions. The curves begin with the epoch of the Trojan war about 1200 B.C.

About seven hundred years before Christ both curves stand high in the day when the Greeks were laying Hie foundation ol' their I'll 1 tire greatness and the empires of Mesopotamia were at their height. Then comes a pronounced tailing off, with a recovery three or four hundred years before Christ, another decline culminating about 200 B.C., and a recovery reaching a high point about 50 B.C. The lime of Christ, the great area ol' universal peace under the sway Rome, was apparently an epoch of favorable climate a time of abundanl rain and consequent good crops in all I he countries around the Mediterranean Sea and eastward in Asia, as well 11s in California. Next, comes a long period of decline culminating six or seven centuries after the time of Christ. No period in all history, save that which centers about 1200 B.C., was more chaotic; and that early period also appears to have been a time of greatly diminished rainfall.

Some Characteristics of the Disease Brought Out by an Investigation. The work ef Prof. Raoul Pictet of Geneva tSwitzerland) on the use of liquefied carbon dioxide as a specific for leprosy, has lately been discussed in the newspapers. Wholesale cures are claimed for it in Hawaii. Pictet's "discovery" is a method of cauterization, but whether more effective than other long used methods along the same lines remains to he seen. Until recently, leprosy had not been produced in animals for purposes of experimental study; and it is barely lour years slnco the germ was first isolated al tire Louisiana Leper House. The work of Duval and Couret In the laboratories of Pathology and Bacteriology at Tulane University 1 New Orleans) has given a new and sure foundation lor future investigation of tit is disease. They have established that leprosy cannot be given to any animal by ; single injection of its germs; repeated injections are necessary in order to make the body sensitive. This is doubtless true of human beings, and explains tho relative infrequency of j leprosy even when persons have I lived among lepers for some time. This is in agreement Willi a long 1 line of new theories regarding th< modus operandi of infection. Typhoid germs take two weeks to make j the body sensitive enough to give 1 the disease a start. During this pe- ! riod of incubation millions of germs may be produced in the course of i forty-eight hours, but the disease is j not produced until the body reacts. In leprosy it would seem that the ' germs are repeatedly killed off by j tne body. Duval says that "to produce the : disease experimentally, ii seems necessary to give the animal repeat- I ed injections of large numbers of 1 leprosy bacilli at given intervals for a period of months." His research 1 shows that an injection of first four million and later of four billion bacilli were given before the disease "took." Even after the first injection of four million bacilli and for nearly two weeks after The injection of the culture containing four billion "there was no evidence of either localized or general infection." The animal first infected with leprosy 1 was a monkey (Macacus rhesus)), j the initial Injecton being given October, 1010. It was not until the following March that he was recognized [ as afflicted with a disease having all the clinical characteristics of "human leprosy," and death did not ensue until December.

LIFEBOAT NUMBERS. During the inquiry by the commission over which Lord Mersey presided, into the loss of the Titanic, the suggestion was thrown out that seats in the life-saving boats should be numbered in accordance with the passenger's ticket. That proposal has found favor with one of the Japanese steamship companies, a coupon being attached to the regular ticket "reserving" a seat in a certain lifeboat for the holder, who is requested immediately upon going aboard to become familiar with the location of his boat and the place that has been allotted to him. If this rule is observed, confusion in time of crisis should be reduced to a minimum, always granting, of course, that the passengers do not become panic-stricken. BRITISH SHIPPING. Having regard to the commercial primacy of the United Kingdom among the nations of the world, and also the importance of maintaining communication with its Overseas Dominions, Dependencies and Colonies, it is essential that the shipping of the United Kingdom should be at least commensurate with the magnitude of its trade. Compared with other nations the ratio of that shipping to that trade is enormous, for, uniike certain of its rivals, the United Kingdom is not only independent of outside aid but acts as maritime carrier for its rivals. The United Kingdom's tonnage of steamers amounts to no less than 17,730,900 tons, and the rest of the Empire's to 1,471,800 tons, making a total of 19,202,700 tons out of the world's aggregate of 40,518,100 tons. That Is to say, the British Empire owns not far short of one-half of the world's steamship tonnage. On the other hand, the Empire's total of sailing ships is, approximately, one-sixth of the whole. That Is really a sign of progress and ascendancy, for it shows that, whilst other countries still have to relj largely on slow and relatively small vessels, we prefer to regard these as obsolete, and are all the while Increasing our •mployment of large, speedy and well-found steamships, In 1012, for example, tne number of steamers on Ihe official register of the United Kingdom increased by 129 and the tonnage by 121,472 ions, while the , number of sailing vessels decreased I by 323 and the tonnage by S3,ISO I tons.

Comparison, so far, lias been between Great Britain and the rest of the Empire on the one hand and the whole world on the other. Let us now see how the United Kingdom alone compares in respect to steamships with its nearest competitor, Germany has attained that position, having gone ahead more rapidly in recent years than other countries, but Germany's total Is not a quarter of ours, her 4,276,100 of tonnage comparing with our 17,730,900. If the United Kingdom's predominance in respect of shipping be thus Impressive, still more remarkable is its lead in shipbuilding, for not only are discarded sailing ships being sold lo foreigners, bul steamers arc being built in British shipyards for other nations as well as for Britain. Indeed, no less than 71.:'. per cent, of the world's sea-going steamers of 3000 tons and upwards have been built in British yards. In other words, practically three-quarters of such vessels now afloat are the product of British skill and labor. The volume of tonnage now under construction constitutes a record, and never have British shipbuilders been so busy as they are today. The major portion of the new tonnage is for Britain's own requirements—a fact of excellent omen for the continuance in the present year of that shipping trade prosperity which was a feature of 1912. The world's commerce is still extremely active, and the volume of business available is larger than ever.
