Record Trip From Largest Lighthouse Mineral Output Charlotte To Massett On Pacific Coast Has Great Increase Prince Rupert F£an Rode One Hundred aiid Twenty Miles in Twenty-Three Hours Riding Time on Same Horse. The following report of the trip from Queen Charlotte to Massett, recently made by Mr. J. S. Cowper of Prince Rupert, who was accompanied by Mex.can Tom as gu:de, is taken from the Daily News : "To ride a distance of one hundred and twenty miles from Charlotte City to Massett in twenty-three hours without chang;ng horses—most of the way dur ng a blind ng storm—is the record of hotsemanship made by Mr. J. S. Cowper of Prince Rupert, accompanied by Mex can Tom, the cow puncher of Oyanda Rive/. The trip has always been cons dered a good three days' ride, and when the party left Charlotte City at 10.30 a.m. on Tuesday to catch the Prince John at Massett on Thursday noon, it was freely prophecied that they were attempting the impossible. "It was decided to make one day's ride, and then afier a test to make a day and a night r;deto finish. The first cay brought the party to Walsh's ranch at the Ti-El River, after seven and a half hours ride over the new tra.l from Charlotte City. " From Tl-El which was left at8 a.m., Mexican Tom's was made at 2.50 p.m. The storm by that time had arisen, and the Mexican's horse was all in. After a rest till 8 p.m. to allow of fording the tidal rivers, a start was again made at the height of the storm to make anight ride along the coast to Tow Hill. Mexican had a new mount, and led his black stallion, Marquis, as a precaution against accident. '' Only one accident occurred, when the Mexican's horse fell in jumping a log in the darkness. Rounding Rose Spit in the storm and darkness the travellers trusted to the horses finding the trail. Smith's store at Tow Hill was reached at 1.15 a.m. after fording the Hiellen River, the riders being drenched to the skin. A fresh start was made at 7.45 on the last stretch to Massett, which was reached at 11.15. The Prince John which was stormbound, did not arrive till late in the evening. "The feature of the ride was the splendid performance of the Mexican's young mare Annie Laurie, which carried Mr. Cowper the entire journey, wearing out two relays of older horses, and finishing the trying journey in a fresh condition. She has never been broken to the saddle, and it was not expected at the start that she could last more than half the journey but she covered the long journey in less than twenty-three hours actual f iding time, in the teeth of Is Now Under Construction at North Department of Mines' Report Shows Island, Queen Charlotte Group. That Total Value of Ore Mined was Twelve Men at Work. One Hundred and Five Million Dollars What will be the largest and most powerful lighthouse, when completed, on the Pacific Coast, is now unde • construction at North Island, situated off the north-west coast of Graham Island. Twelve men are engaged at present in pieparing the foundations for the structure which is to be of the most modern type and with powerful illumination to make the way clear for the ships of the seven seas and inward and outward bound to Prince Rupert. This lighthouse is an important aid to navigation for all vessels sailing these waters, and will be appreciated by the boats making the Island trip. It is on a par with the plans of the late government for the development of Prince Rupert as a seaport, and will no doubt be completed along with the other marine works in progress, under the new regime. Well Known Mining Man Dead. Samuel Lichtenstadter, resident member of the Arctic Club, principal stockholder of the famous Mount Andrew copper mine on Prince Wales Island, and a mining man of world-wide acquaintance, was found dead in bed of heart disease, at the Steadman Hotel in Ketchikan, Alaska. Mr. Lichtenstader left Seattle on August 1 to inspect his property, which recently had been placed under contract with the United States Smelting & Refining Company for $2,500,000. He was in the best of health at the time. He was one of the original participants in the great Klondike rush. He wintered in 1897 at Fort Yukon. It was there that he got the information which led him to seek out and later develop the property on Prince of Wales Island, which he named Mount Andrew. -o- The completion of Canada's fifth census, begun in June, will show a total population considerably under 8,000,000, according to unofficial calculations. The official figures will be made public in a few days, as soon as the returns are in from the northwest districts. a gale, without whip or spur, finding her way in and out and over the drift logs on the eastern shore of Graham Island in the darkness. 1' The record is expected to stand for many years to come.'' The total value of the mineral production of Canada during the past year exceeded $105,000,000, an increase of $13,209,517 over that of 1909. This is indicated by a preliminary report just issued by the department of mines. An increase of 14 per cent, is a very substantial one and according to the reports should be particularly gratifying not only to those who are directly interested in the development of the mineral resources of the country but to the publ c at large, who indirectly profit thereby. There has been an increased product in nearly every province, the only falling off being shown by New Brunswick, wh le Ontario is well in the lead with over 40 per cent, of the total for Canada. In silver products sflone there was an increase of 16 per cent, this being chiefly in Cobalt, Porcupine and other mining districts in that province. The production of silver in Ontario totalled $15,- 711,513. o Will Explore Territory. Sir D. D. Mann has announced his intention to place in the field an exploration party which will cover the territory between Stewart and Edmonton, via the Peace River country, with a view of making an exhaustive report on the mineral, farming, timber and ranching possibilities of the hinterland. It is probable, too, that request will be made to the Provincial Government to send a similar expedition into the field. o Big Liner Rammed. Upon leaving Southampton for New York the White Star liner Olympic, the largest steamer afloat, with every berth filled, was rammed by the big British cruiser Hawke. Only a prompt beaching of the huge liner prevented the worst marine disaster in history. The Olympic carried three thousand passengers. The Hawke was also damaged, but made port under her own steam. o The boy scout movement was condemned by unanimous vote at the Trades and Labor Congress, recently held at Calgary, as being wrong in principle, giving boys wrong ideals and constituting a menace to the working classes, teaching boys that the proper caper is to shoot down toilers on strike. Only one man said a good word for the scouts. Ore! er a STOVE rom Coch rane No. 7 Fern, $15.00 No. 8 Vancouver, $20.50 No. 9 Kaiiier Range, with hot water tank, $25.00 Y ou nee< LAMP too. D.

This property was controlled by Mr. Gowing, Capt. Nash, T. R. Morrow and Wilson Gowing. -o Europe On The Brink Of War. Europe is now on the brink of war. Within a few days from now it is believed that Italy and Turkey will have opened hostilities, says a late despatch. Italy is prepared and is awaiting the word. The first Italian squadron is now in the harbor of Tripoli with steam up. The squadron is composed of four Dreadnoughts, three cruisers and a flotilla of torpedo boats. They are anchored in line, with decks cleared and bunkers and magazines filled. The order for opening hostilities is expected any time. -o- PAC0F1. Wilson Gowing was here collecting mail for Tassoo, where a large gang of men are at work. Pacofi has not just got into the thick of business yet, although it will by next week. The trawler Kingsway arrived last week with a catch of 30,000 lbs. for four days fishing. The Standard Fish Co. has opened up a wholesale business in Prince Rupert.

Queen Charlotte LATEST TELEGRAPHIC NEWS Will Try To Stop Johnson-Wells Fight. Lor.dor., Sept. 28.—Great opposition is beir.g fomented in Great Britain against the forthcoming heavyweight boxing contest between Jack Johnson and Bombardier Wells, which is scheduled to take place next Monday. "Times" Denounces Fight The "Times" in an editorial, urges that in the Empire's interest the Johnson-Wells match ought to be stopped because it has no sporting justification. The spectator, says the "Times," will be attracted by a morbid and unwholesome interest in a struggle between a white man and a black man, and the contest itself, together with the showing of fight pictures, only can serve to promote or aggravate the color feeling throughout the entire country." Preachers are Busy The fight was denounced by many preachers in their sermons last Sunday, the main speaker being Rev. Mr. Meyer, of the Regents park chapel, who started the movement agair.st the proposed battle at Earls' Court. Mr. Meyer protested that prize fighting was demoralizing and brutal and also that it would embitter the feeling of the whites agair.st the blacks in America, South Africa and India. "Of course, I shan't do it, but I would dearly like to break into the ring and say to the big negro and the white champion: 'You are brothers,' " said Mr. Meyer. It is reported that Winston Churchill, the home secretary, is consulting the law officers with regard to the legal aspects of the case. Johnson is "Tetchy" Johnson, when interivewed in Paris, said that he was "tetchy" because the English papers were saying everything bad about him, and that he was not getting fair play. The London fight, he said, was a matter of indifference to SHOOK VICTORIA MINERS IN DANGER Seat For Graham A Mild Earthquake Visited the Capital Last Night—Tremor Was Felt.

CHAUFFEUR KILLED Winnipeg, Sept. 28.—W. P. Hinton, general passenger agent of the Grand Trunk Pacific, who returned from an inspection trip of the western lines on Saturday, stated that he expected the Edmonton-Calgary line of the Grand Trunk Pacific would be opened this year. The contractors have experienced considerable trouble in getting supplies, notably steel for the large bridge over the Red Deer river near Alix but now this bridge is finished and the structural steel gang has gone to a bridge on the Brazeau coal branch. Steel laying south of Alix is proceeding at the rate of about three miles a day and the grade is finished far enough toward Calgary to keep ahead of the track-layer. him, as there were dozens of other places which would not object to a match. "It's just like this. You don't want me to win, and that's the truth," said Johnson. "But I am going to win. That's what I came here for. Longsdale is sore at me because I would not fight for $6,000 at the National Sporting club. Why should I fight for $6,000 when I can get $15,000? I am over here for the money.

Tingley is arranging to import a portable mill for the purpose of cutting timber for the settlers on Massett Inlet and the east coast of Graham Island. The steamer Prince Albert is expected here from Vancouver with machinery and lumber for the mining camps at the head of Massett Inlet. Mine host Ives of the St. Ives hotel, has purchased the residence formerly owned by C. J, Cook, and is busy improving the house and grounds. The necessity for a wharf at Massett townsite has been apparent on the arrival of every steamer. The present structure is falling to pieces and the residents of New Massett are petitioning for the construction of a new wharf at the head of Main street. A new schoolhouse has been erected on Collison avenue, and will be occupied when passed by the inspector. Miss Robinson of Vancouver, arrived in Massett recently to take charge of the school. A representative of a large cold storage company has been inspecting the various locations on Naden Harbor, with a view to constructing buildings and commencing operations. Several settlers arrived at Massett on the steamer Prince John and are engaged in looking for homes. Among them are four former residents, who looked over other sections of the province and are now willing to cast their lot with the pioneers of Graham Island.
