While working on the Apex group of mineral claims near Lockport last week, Alex. Paterson and Bill Harris had a miraculous escape from death. Both men were working in a tunnel on the property when they heard a loud roar, and thinking that it was a landslide rushed out. Instead of it being what they at first thought, found that the blacksmith shop was on fire, and as there was a box of dynamite containing 35 sticks and a box of caps in the building, Paterson rushed to save them. While about four feet from the burning building the dynamite exploded, hurling Paterson several feet in the a.r. He received a nasty cut over the right eye and was severely scorched. Harris escaped without any injuries. -0- Reported Rich Strike Of Silver Ore On Moresby Island. John Gill and John Wilson while prospecting on the southern end of Moresby Island are reported to have made a very rich discovery of silver ore. The exact location is not g; ven out but it is believed by mining men to be the same ore that Cy Mulkey was looking for this past two summers and which he first discovered in 1852. About 150 lbs. was sent below for assays. Betting On Return Of Laurier. Several Vancouver people who have been enquiring by telegraph from friends in the East have been advised that the weight of the betting in Montreal, Toronto and other places on the election result is that Sir Wilfrid Laurier will be returned to power. Mr. Charles M. Hayes, president of the Grand Trunk Pacific, received a wire from Mr. William Wainwright, vice- president of the line, saying that the betting in Montreal was three to one that the Liberals would be sustained. -o- Several parties are making arrangements for the construction of mills and cold storage plants on Massett Inlet. An areoplane mail service has been established in England between London and Windsor. The Canadian government is calling for bids to furnish ten thousand tons of steel rails for the Hudson's Bay Railway. Bids will be received up to Oct. 15th. The "Prince John " arrived yesterday morning with the barge ' North Bend" in tow. J. S. Cowper Gave Great Speech In Favor Of Reciprocity. Trip To Oilfield On The West Coast Of Graham Island. Last Monday night a largely attended and enthusiastic meeting was held at Queen Charlotte to hear an address from J. S. Cowper, editor of the Prince Rupert Daily News, in support of Duncan Ross, the Liberal candidate for Comox- Atlin. Mr. John L. Barge presided and in a short speech advocated the reciprocity pact. Mr. Neil McGillvray also spoke in support of the agreement. The Chairman afterwards introucded Mr. Cowper, who met with a good reception. The speaker traced the history of the word '' tariff '' and showed very clearly that tariffs were made for the manufacturers and not for the people. He reviewed the reciprocity agreement at some length and showed good reasons why it should have the support of the people of Canada and more especially British Columbia, where living is so high. The speaker went on to show how the cost of living would be reduced by this arrangement with the United States and also how it was going to help in the developmen of our fisheries and lumbering. Mr. Cowper got a splendid hearing and at the close appealed to the electors to cast their votes for Duncan Ross, who was no "carpet-bagger," but one who has many interests in Comox-Atlin. The meeting was brought to a close with the singing of "God Save The King." Mr. Cowper left on Tuesday morning for Massett, accompanied by Mexican Tom as guide. o Chief Officer Blamed For Princess May Accident. The finding of the court of marine enquiry in regard to the stranding of the C. P. R. steamer Princess May off Sentinel Island on August 5, 1910, was announced last week. The finding is that the first officer, John Richardson, is solely responsible for the accident and his certificate was ordered suspended for twenty-four hours. -o- Steamship Disaster In Alaskan Waters. The Pacific Coast S.S. Romona while on her regular trip from Juneau to Seattle struck on Spanish Rock, in Alaskan waters, last Sunday night and is a total wreck. All the passengers and crew were saved. It is reported that she had on board $105,000 in golJ from the mining camps of Alaska. Tlie Romona recently replaced the steamer Spokane on this run, which was wrecked near Seymour Narrows a short time ago. Austin M. Brown, of Prince Rupert, with a party of five others visited the west coast of Graham Island recently and secured a large section of territory in the " oil belt," near Tiahn. The trip occupied several days and was greatly enjoyed by the land stakers, with the exception of a "cold bath" which four of the visitors took in the waters near the mouth of the West River. The plant owned by the B. C. Oilfields Co., at Tiahn Harbor, was visited and most favorably commented on. The derrick and machinery erected there is the best procurable and is boring through the shale at the rate of thirty feet per day. Seven men are employed in the work and the indications for obtaining oil within a short time are most favorable. On the return of the party to Prince Rupert a company was organized with Dr. Kergin as President, Geo. D. Tite, Vice-President, and Chief Vickers as Secretary. Thirty residents of Prince Rupert and Massett are in the company, and steps will be taken to incorporate and develop the property. The visitors to the west coast are optimistic and consider the ground better than the oilfields in California and other sections. Coal, tar, asphaltum and everything indicating the presence of oil was discovered. A competent man, who is interested in the Utah and other oilfields, accompanied the party and was so much pleased with the prospects that he asserted the indications are ideal. He made the assertion that no other locality shows better surface indications and the plant now operating will, most assuredly, "strike oil " when down from one to two thousand feet. In the course of the time occupied in visiting the west coast, the fishing grounds and land on the neighboring islands attracted the attention of the party. There is little agricultural land, and the timber is not considered by them of very great value. The weather on the west coast cannot be depended on at this time of the year, and there are few harbors or places of refuge for small craft. Should the oilfields prove of value it will be very easy to run pipe lines to Naden Harbor and other localities. There is little land remaining for those intending to locate. The coal and oil locations cover many miles of territory, reaching from Rennell Sound to Frederick Island and extending inland for a distance of fifteen miles. -o- Official Crop Estimates. The Winnipeg Grain Dealers' Association estimate the crop of wheat at 177,500,000; oats 182,250,000; barley 34,335,000; flax 7,500,000 bushels.

Electric Lighted Well Heated Centrally Located Third Avenue MR. CLEMENTS' REAL TRADE OPINIONS On sundry telephone poles all over the townsite of Prince Rupert are posters circulated by Mr. Herbert S. Clements of 535 Per.der St. West, Vancouver, who is anxious to represent the constituency of Comox-Atlin at Ottawa. The posters are well worth studying. They contain in addition to a large picture of the gentleman's handsome features, a sort of Shorter Catechism of the political creed of the gentleman from Vancouver. By Shorter Catechism, we do not mean the political platitudes on the card—"A White Canada—Canada for the Canadians and the Empire—A Square Deal for British Columbia—" Those are merely conventional word-padding. They mean nothing. The real trade opinions of the Vancouver gentlemen are to be seen at the foot of the poster, where in small type is says that the posters were printed in Vancouver at the News-Advertiser office. Although Mr. Clements of Vancouver is travelling through this great district of Comox-Atlin, telling us all in a superior sort of way that the only way to build up a community is to keep all its trade within its own borders, he has started in by having his printing done ir. Vancouver. There are lots of printing establishments in Comox-Atlin. There are five in the city of Prince Rupert alone. But the gentleman who says he believes in the "Canada for the Canadians" philosophy, and in "a square deal for British Columbia," when it comes to spending a few dollars in printing in an effort to become M. P. for Comox-Atlin, sends his orders away from the constituency to Vancouver. And he has either so little sense of logic, or so poor an opinion of the intelligence of the people of Comox-Atlin, that he adver.ises the fact on every poster he has sent out. It is idle for Mr. Clements to prate of protection and loyalty— to tell audiences that he would buy Canadian potatoes at 4c a pound instead of American potatoes at 2c a pound. The simple fact remains that the only item of expenditure he could have placed in the constituency of Comox-Atlin. he ser.t out of the constituency to his own city of Vancouver. On the bottom line of the poster circulated by Mr. Herbert S. Clements of 535 Pender St. West, Vancouver, is a true statement of that gentleman's real trade opinions when, it comes to spending his own dollars. Take a good look at it. COMMENTS ON THE CAMPAIGN "I think they've unloaded a dead one onto us," was the remark overheard at a political meeting Wednesday. Guess whose meeting it was, and who the "dead one" is. No prizes offered. The contest is too easy. At his first meeting in Prince Rupert, Mr. Clements said he vv?s not a "carpet-bagger." Yet his nomination paper describes him as of 535 Pender St. West, Vancouver. This is almost as glaring as his denial of Hansard, or his refusal to fulfil his challenge to retire. If there is anything you want people to know Say it Thro the "Islander The Mayor's ideas of reciprocity are even more amusing than. Mr. Clements'. He started out by handing the ladies of Prince Rupen a raw cut by advising all the men in the audience to go to the United States when they wanted wives. He could see no disloyalty in that. But he thinks it is disloyal to buy bacon at a reduced ducy in the United States and thus frustrate the robber captains out of a 2-cen.t a pound levy. >t Here is a problem in higher mathematics for the Mayor. If five thousand American wives coming into Prince Rupert cannot affect their husbands' loyalty to the British flag,*how many cubic yards of American pork and beans will we have to eat free of duty before we will clamor for annexation.

Election day is Thursday next and all arrangements for taking the poll on the Islands have been completed by the Returning Officer, F. G. Dawson. The Deputy Returning Officers for the districts and the polling places are as follows: Queen Charlotte City, J. M. Campbell, "Islander" Office; Skidegate, D. Leroux, Post Office; Lawn Hill, J.

Sivart, Post Office. The ballot boxes arrived yesterday morn ing by the "Prince John" in charge of Mr. Humble, J.P., who will swear in the deputies. We understand Ike Thompson and All Wilds, of Jedway, have gone in for ranching on a large scale; that is to say, they have taken to raising chickens and ducks. It is reported that " Ike " has two of the best "layers" on the Islands, but report does not say whether they are ducks or drakes. We infer they are ducks, as they produced in round numbers 300 eggs since April. We are glad Ike and All are bu»y Cochrane's surprising shirt sale is worth having a look at. PERSONAL. Mrs. Thompson, of Jedway, passed through on the "Prince John" last Monday en route for the south on a short business trip. E. M.

He states the different outcrops can be traced in a straight line for three miles. o PACOFI. A large number of fiishing boats are actively engaged at this station. The Kingsway is expected to arrive from the south this week. There was a rumor abroad about her being turned into a halibut boat, but such is not the case. She will use the Otter trawl when fishing. Wilson Gowing arrived here from Tassoo Harbor for mail. He reports that clearing operations are completed and that the material for construction of the plant there will arrive in the course of a few weeks. The bays and creeks are thick with salmon. One boat caught 15,000 lbs. last week. Messrs. Fraser, Dass and Watson 9f Lockport, have been prospecting around Cumshewa the past week. -o- The cheapest way to get a good cook stove is to order it from Cochrane.
