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).

Premier RouvAor.^lh' respond'i'ngl (expressed the regrets of his colleagues, adding a tribute to M.\ Delcasse 'nv his past services. M. Rouvier thereupon announced that he would take ad interim the,duties of minister' of foreign affairs. Thcophilc Delcasse was born at Pa- micrs, France, in 1852, and began life as a newspaper man. He was'elected to the chamber of deputies "in 1889 and became minister for the colonics in 1893. He entered tlie Brisson cabinet as minister of foreign affairs in i 1898 and after its .���������downfall was cho-J sen to continue in that office under M. Deupuy. When the Deupuy cabinet was defeated M. Delcasse was asked to. form a ministry, but declined, the task.* In June, .1899, he became foreign minister*" in the Ros- seau-Waldcck cabinet. M.

The program would stand the same as published in these columns. Later in the evening the committce decided to cut out the illuminajted procession, they considering "it wduld interfere with the dance. Upon a motion of Mr. Evans, seconded by Mr. Whitcombe,, the reports of tlie sports and regatta committees were adopted, both committees being given power to add to or eliminate Irom their programs as they thought fit providing they go to no greater expense than could be covered by the sums set aside for the purpose. The report received by thc nvusic committee Jast week, asking for the sum of $165 appropriation for the music and .lance was then brought up and d scusscd.

If my memory ser-.es mc right there was a rumor around lown, after the explosion in No. 1 mine, when the men were trying to get the bodies in the slope, wherelhe explosion occurred, that after penetrating the workings some distance they found the dross became heated and eventually it was considered unsafe to continue the search for the boelies, so that part of the mine was ordered to be blocked up and I have never heard of it being opened up since. Now by the slope becoming filled with water alter the e\plosion, and, when the water was 1,-eing tal en out in searching for the bodies, I became so heated that they had to alandon that part of the mine to prevent it taking fire. Is it not reasonable lo suppose that there is a possibility of something similar when they take the water out of ihe mine1-, in the present case?
