The Ladysmith Daily Ledger was published in Ladysmith, in the Cowichan Valley region of Vancouver Island, and ran from July 1903 to December 1906. Ladysmith developed as a residential area for the employees of a large coal mine, and, in 1904, it had a population of approximately 4000. The Ledger was published by the Ladysmith Publishing Company, which also issued the paper under two variant titles: the Daily Ledger (April to July, 1905) and the Ladysmith Ledger (September to December, 1906).

Nicola, B.C., Aug. 13.���������From the , results of the continuous work done this year on the propeity of the Diamond Vale Coal Company on Quilchena Creek, it is evident that a vary fine body of bituminous coal is there awaiting transportation facilities, and we understand substantiate in almost every particular the high expectations of this property held by its' owners. The drilling operations which have been carried on throughout the year cshow that the company have thc possibilities of a fine property. From; analysis made from thc coal, showing by its engineer and chemist, it is apparent that an excellent quality of coking coal is there in large /quantities, which, with further development will soon become an important factor in the supply of coal for the smelting of ore and other purposes. The following analysis is from an average sample taken from a 15-foot showing on Palmer Creek: Moisture 4 p.c. Volatile matter 32 p.c. Fixed Carbon 5G p.c. Ash ."..... 8 p.c. Plans arc being prepared hy B. P. Little, engineer in charge, for the further development of this property on a large scale in the near future. The management of the company are to be commended for the manner in which, in spite of grave difficulties, they have prosecuted work on the property during the past' four years and now their efforts seem to be crowned with success, no one will grudge them the financial benefit that will no doubt accrue to them for their enterprise in opening up ���������what is perhaps cthe largest deposit of bituminous coal in Southern British Columbia. A gentleman who has travelled extensively m JVlexico says that he was much astonished at seeing the- men who carry the ore from thc mines in that country come out of the pits each with one eye shut.' One of the foremen, seeing his surprise, explained the matter. He said the caudles belonging to the men do not give sufficient' light in the drifts, where it is consequently quite dark, but wheie, nevertheless, .they see well enough not to run their heads ..gainst the rocks. But, on emerging into daylight, they would be blinded did they not take precautionary measures. For this reason, ns they approach 1he mouth of Ihc shift, at the point where they catch (lie first glimpse of light, ,thcy drop the eyelid of one eye, and keep this down while they are discharging Ihe ore and until they have ie-desc-ended Die shaft., When they are again in the dark, they open the eye kept hitherto in reserve, and at once seeing > everything distinctively: while the other eye, previously open and somewhat blinded by the daylight, perceives nothing at all.

But this season it will,'ba very dift' eront and the reason for, all the suppressed excitement and .intense keenness that exists among .the Rugby enthusiasts this^ fall,.is the fact <that the Utopian .dream-/of shears past has at last become an .actual reality.

Mr. George Suowden of this city kas received ,a letter from Mr. Wood-' ward of Vancouver in reference to j the above matter, and he. urges i Nainaimo boys to get in at once and goL into shape for the comuig football season. v The letter which covers every part of the subject is as follows: Dear Sir;���������I ,have a letter from Stanford University, wanting B.

'Spoken to regarding this despatch last evening, Mr. Smith said that he had' as yet ', received no official information that the government desired - him to be Immigration' Commissioner, but it was quite evident that the independent position he assumed "i-egarding the irregularities of the' former commissioner and thotg-cn eral desire among all classes in the east' to see the office tilled by a man-.friendly t0 labor interests had. led to this move in his favor. Mr. Smith intimated, however that he could not accept the position as he had refused a similar oiler year* ago when tho Government wanted hiiu to take the posi)ioa of Deputy Minister of Labor, because ke com- sidered it a more important work and much more ag-reeablc to his tastes to serve the people' in parliament than as a government servant.

For a while Mrs. Piakcolt, sitting' near the fire m her own house appealed to be too dazed to speak, and when fahc at last found her voice it trembled in k painfully pathetic maimer. Mrs. Pinkcott said she felt grateful to God for at last bringing her suspense to an end, although'lo know , that Jier child was really , dead was a grave disappointment, as. she and her husband had fully Vlieved that he was alive.

In further conversation Mrs. Pinki-ott said thai from the day he was lost the burden of suspcB.sc was more than sho could describe.

The bleach ed skeleton of the lad has been found' on the "mountain side lyeUveen Cwmtillery and P.laenavoii.' I Jet ween aix and seven o'clock m the morning Mr. Robert. Parker, of Oreenmoadow Farm, who was on the lllaenavon mountain looking for sheep came a- cross the bones lying on tho ground among the gorse and heal her. At lirst _lli- Parker thought it was tbo skeleton of a sheep, but on closer examination he saw it was that of a rhild. Lie at onco communicated with the police and Inspector Lewis and Police .sergeant Hathoiall proceeded to thc spot, and satisfied themseUes Horn the little clotliing that was on the skeleton and other indications that il was, undoubtedly, the skeleton of Edwin Pinkcott. The remains worn afterward conveyed in a tin bath to the police station. The father was sent for from woik, and at once identified the clothing amd boots as those of his little lad. Jt will bo remembered that when tho lad had disappeared great interest was lul-'on in the case Uuoug-h- out the district.

A bloodhound, the property of the Miners' Federation, was requisitioned, but its services proved of no avail.- From the time of tho lad's disappearance prayer meetings have pcen held up to the present time at tho home of Mr. and Mrs.''-Pinkcott'in connection, with Eberiezer Baptist Uhaael, of which they are members. A number of people believe that the child wandered to the place Wjhere the skeleton was found. 6th- crs-ond there arc many���������express thc firm conviction that the child was kidnapped for some purpose and carried there. The former theory is dis countenanced owing- to the stoutness of the child, and his disinclination to move about, and, indeed, it seems hard to believe that he traversed such a distance . over rough, moun- tanipus ground of his own-accord.
