THEY MADE RICH STRIKE « — Two British Columbia Men Reaping Golden Fortune in Montana Mine John McKnnc anil Dr. E. Bowes, formerly of Rnsslnnil, have libo'n very fortunate in their mining investments in Nevada! where they have been operating for tlic-pnst two years, says tlie Nelson News, They are intcreslr cil iu the Jumbo al Goldlields, Nevada. This property was located !iy Taylor Bros., .who were formerly prospectors iu tbo Kootenays. Messrs Bowes and McKnnc own u third of the stock, and arc bnciicd in -their ventures by Schwab, the man who lor u while- was at the bend ol th American steel trust. About three months since Messrs. McKane and Howes secured a four months' lease on a portion of Hie Jumbo and they have struck it very rich. Mr. McKnnc is said to be a second "Coal (ill Johnny" with his newly acquired wealth, spending it lavishly. One report slates that he recently gave a vocalist f.'lim to sing "Annie Laurie" for him, and another is to the eflcct that lie spent 52,700 in a few minutes while out having a dime with a party ol his friends, lie distributes Jinn bills around when he is out, having ngood time Willi as much ''Icssness as though he was pas- sinii ar1|""' n't'li'cs- "'•"• Bowes, who has always te" n0,ed (?' a 1Ufral spender when he m* °ut '"r a J'"1"' Is more careful of W" \""""•>' tna" Mr. McKnnc is n o> *" » »n,« sum to his credit In the 1)1.'"*' The stories told of the richi.''1"" ',( the mine seem to he incredible. *•• A.

Mr. Omcrt is a conservative mining man, aged aliout ^iO years, and Iras followed mining in the United States and In other countries lor' thirty years, lie says when be tells people ol the richness ol the Jumbo mine they can scarcely believe what ho says' is true, ami he is, therefore, adverse to talking about it through fear that be will acquire a reputation lor mendacity. On the McKane- Bowes lease on Ihe Jumbo A depth nl 250 icet lias been reached.'' On this level there Is a long ore shoot Which is 17 feel. wide.

Anorc buyer for a 11tub smeller, which redjiccs the ore tor llie Jumbo, offered Ur Russian Papers Hail as a Victory New Turn in Affairs'/Japanese Gun* boat Sunk St. Petersburg, Oct. 11.—A period' of anxiety is: ahead.- The Russian public have been warned that now the tables are turned-and • the Russian army is advancing they, cannot- expect news which might reveal General Kuropatkin's plans to the Japanese and the people will have to lie eontent -with* -meagre information concerning what has actually been accomplished until the pending battle is in full swing. The same reticence characterized tlie Japanese officials. With"the 'curtain down on the war stage,- many wild minors may bo expected. While tlie. general stall intimates thai Kuropatkin is advancing cautiously and entrenching as lie goes, most of the artillery critics are oi the opinion Hint bis greatest chances - -of a- success is a quick smash at flic Japanese positions north' ol the Tai Tse i'ivcr, which would drive tho Japanese in confusion hack upon .the river before they ave a chance to prepare for their withdrawal. As Kuropatkin's -order, of..the.-day. was. not-given out until seven days after the advance began it would not be surprising if heavy lighting was already in pro-,' gross. 'Plic ■ latest -newspaper -despatches- say that an artillery duel lasted throughout Sunday on the centre and right Hank and that the lapanese are everywhere retiring before tluv Russian advance. The, statement that Kiiropiitkin isnioving on each side of the railroad in order to have an easy lino oi communication, would indicate bis intention to make a frontal attack with a possible turning movement from the west where the ground is open, but there tbe river bars the way and no decisive victory is seemingly possible unlci be- can -reach the Japanese line ' of communications below Liao Yang. A "iiillffarjrexpert ViAcs:" T'It is difficult to say when Field Marshal Oyama will accept battle. Perhaps he will resist the advance at various positions north of the Tai Tse river and then defend the river, hut according III tlie latest 'unofficial rcr ports, our troops arc advancing along the whole line, nnd the cavalry is even across the' Tai ' Tse River." The Russ to-day says: "General. Kuropatkin's victory will have as im portant a political effect in Europe as military effect in Manchuria. Already the chancellories of the world have realized that it was time to halt- and -some ot those who hud been praying for Russia's downfall or' weakening, have begun to consider the proprietory of rcnowing the fast dwindling fciefulshrp. ..Hiissul does not expect to march to speedy victory, but the worlil may as well understand that Russia is ready to make untold sacrifices in order to vindicate her power and exact proper ■rcpiiratioii from Japan.""

Montreal, nil. 11, —The following WIND GOES FAST PACE The wind played a number of pranks yesterday in the district and around town, but did nothing of a very serious nature. The telegraph wires were in trouble towards the close of the afternoon, a tree blowing down and putting them out of business for a short time. The noon train between here and Nanaimo was delayed a lew minutes by the same obstruction. Taking advantage of the commotion raised by the water, a lot of shingle blocks eluded the embracing arms of the boom and went swimming ou their own account last night This morning Harrap's launch was out catching the triants and taking tlirin home again. ■ o VANISHED SHIP.

Flynn, ol Liverpool. From thai day to this nothing lias been seen or heard ol her. There was no bad weather lo account lor her disappearance; there is scarcely any possibility of her having struck on a submerged rock; and no ship of the thousands that plough these waters has sighted her flying signals ot distress. The Juvcrna was of about 100 ions burden, U0 feet in length, and was littcdwith triple expansion engines.

Suppose one ol these nations were to get into some dispute affecting the national honor, would all theioth- cr powers sink their jealousies and differences anil join together to beat that particular nation out ot existence? ..i.IIardly, wc. should imagine; rather would there be a split in the combine, and national jealousies and ieclings would soon break up the whole compact.

It is well known that on this continent lady teachers are in the vast majority; and il one reads the class lists of the high schools' in British 'Columbia, or in fact in any portion of Canada or the United States, the girls' names will lie seen to be far more numerous than those of boys. The same thing applies to normal schools and we recollect noticing in the press poc- trails of a graduating class in a normal school of one of the Washington towns, where out ol some .eighteen or twenty graduates only three were men. That proves that greater numbers of girls arc taking higher courses of study than do the boys; and one has only to compare the number ot women now pursuing university courses in various branches with those ol twenty years or even a decade ago, to note the wonder till increase. In fact, |n Switzerland today, according to statistics lately published, the women students outnumber the men already and have increased at such a rate that they have doubled since 1900. Not so many years ago lady doctors were somewhat of a joke, they were few and far between, and many people refused to regard them seriously. But today what a difference! The woman doctor has ..hoi place in every city; she has a large practice and is preferred by many for diseases of women and children, Whatever people with old fashioned prejudices may think. Wc have women who have made their mark as architects, scientists, mining,, engineers and many other branches' and the number is constantly increasing. It looks as it time has had its revenge and wc may yet have to lace the problem ol the higher education .foremen, just as people used to talk about the higher education of women. If the hoys leave school before reaching the higher classes and leave these largely to the girls, It must only, be ,a question of time when the average woman will be better educated Hun the average man. As "knowledge is power" will woman take first place and relegate man to thq background? Will the time arrive when men will allow their wives to support them and in choosing a male give preference,, to tho successful' lady doctor or lawyer or business woman who has a long enough nurse to support the husband with a sufficient number ol new suits a year and "keep'him'in locket ii.oii-. uy?

Each subscriber to the Daily Ledger will be handed a card and asked to write down a guess of the number of people our census, whicli will be taken with reasonable accuracy will show. Envelopes will be given with the card. Write down your guess, sign your name, put the card in the envelope and seal it up; either hand it to the canvasser or leave it at the Ledger office. All gudsses must be in during October; none will be counted after that date. The census will be computed by the 15th of November. The envelopes will then be opened and the following prizes given: 1. To the person who guesses nearest to the exact number of people living within one-half mile of the postoffice (exclusive of Chinese) $20.00 in gold. 2. The person coming second nearest, f 10.00 in gold. 3. The person coming third nearest, $5.00 iti gold. If. two or more persons tie for any place the money will be divided.

The details of the recent wrestling match between the new "Big Injun" War Eagle and D. A. McMillan, in Vancouver, are given by the Province in the following account: After fifty-three minutes and forty-five seconds ol scientific stalling, the big Indian chief War Eagje forced the shoulders of D. A. McMillan to the mat for the third time with- intlic hour, thereby winning the handicap match in which the former undertook lo throw the latter three times within the specified sixty minutes. The match took place in the People'': Theatre last evening, before a small but enthusiastic audience of mat devotees who were well pleased with the exhibition put up by the copper-colored giant and liis white opponent. As an exhibition of phenomenal brute strength matched against science, skill and experience the contest was interesting. For if there was any doubt that flic huge successor to Two Feathers and the latest aspirant lor fame on the padded canvas possesses the strength of a Hercules, it was dispelled last evening. The husky giant from the plains -handled the big ...Scotchman like a child, and even when McMillan did succeed in getting what lo nn ordinary man would have been a fatal hold, the big Indian broke it witli an case that was as amusing to the audience as it was discomforting lo McMillan. As instance of War Eagle's aggressive tactics and McMillan's scieuti' lie stalling, it may lie mentioned that only three times during all the match did the Scot have the advantage—and then it was only momentary, for the big chief broke from McMillan's restraining hold as easi. ly as from the arms of ail infant. Willi a strong Olc Oleson accent, Referee Gus Andeeson introduced the contestants. McMillan looked iu good form as he came out. Hut big as lie is, he was dwarfed into the appearance of a lean spring chicken when compared with the huge aborigine who, Samson-like, refuses to part from his ebony locks, and appeared on the mat with his hair done up in a elosc'litting black bonnet. They shook hands and went at it. McMillan kept his big opponent oil for a while, but eventually the latter dived for a leg hold and got it. Then be changed to a waist lock, which he retained lor a long time, despite McMillan's efforts to break it. Before the contest had gone far it was apparent that the Indian was woefully lacking iu science and knew only a few holds. But, aided by bis wonderful strength, he used these to good advantage and continually worried McMillan. War Eagle gained .thc.flrst tall In 19.15 with a halt- Nclsou and crotch hold. The second fall was merely a rcpi- tifiou of the stalling tactics of McMillan'. Once when War Eagle relaxed lor an instant his aggressiveness McMillan attempted lo turn him over by a lighleiiing-llke side roll. He did the side roll part all right, but when McMillan attempted to force the Indian's shoulders down, the latter rose up with scarcely any clfort and threw oil the Scot. Alter thai the chief was more wary. Tlio end came in 10.80. The Indian invariably on top,, changed from a waist hold to a hall-Nelson and then secured a crotch, slowly forcing McMillan's shoulders down more by his great strength and weight than by skill; HOOTS AND SHOES AT RIGHT PRICES.

'McMillan showed splendid rc'ipcrative powers alter his hard niauliiyi, in the two previous falls, and went after tho big fellow for a while. But the latter secured his leg hold and changed to a waist lock then to o half-Nelson and inside crotch, arid after thirteen minutes aiid thirty seconds of the hardest kind of struggle, secured the third and decisive fall. The total time occupied in actual wrestling was fifty-three minutes and (orly-fivc minutes and forty-five scconlis, and the Indian had therefore a margin of six minutes and fifteen seconds inside the hour. At the conclusion of the match, Jack O'Neill, War Eagle's manager, issued a challenge on behalf of the Indian, for the latter to throw Dan S. McLeod throe limes in an hour. It is likely that this, match will be arranged shortly. As a preliminary to the main event, Jack O'Neill undertook to throw George Gray, of Nanaimo, twice in half an hour. He did it after a plucky defence on Gray's part. Jack O'Ncil secured the first fall in sixteen minutes and forty-five seconds, and the second in four minutes and thirty seconds. Both were secured with a half-Nelson and bar arm hokl. 1 o—. . PRIZE FIGHTER ACQUITTED. Quebec, Oct., 11.—The Grand Jury has returned no bill against Germain Wagner, of the R.C.G.A., who was accused ol causing the death of Louis Drolct in a prize light in April last.

S. O., lieutenant of the King's Bodyguard of the Yeoman ol the Guard, traces, the history ami rise ol a corps, the members of which centuries hnvc been placed in the most intimate and most confidential relations with the sovereigns of England. Ilodiigiiards, matter of nctual fact,, are as old as the hills, arid in olden tlays every Monarch, Prince, chief or noble bad surrounding him a band chai'gr'l with his personal safety. Eiig-.ai,.i lit >f under Saxon and then millet" Norman" rule, was" so different from oilier countries, and In thase. unsettled anil lawless times the sovereign Would have been neglecting his own personal interests had he not Immediately upon accession called info existence an armed body, llie first duty of which was prolec- tion of the head id tlie si aic. Tbe earliest bodyguard. ..in. England of 'whicli anything definite is known was established in 1017, and from tbat hour until.the year 1185, in one shape or another it played its part iu the stirring history ol the period. It was possible by Ihc merest accident that tlul English royal bodyguards became converted from Ihe personal protectors of the sovereign—and these ol none too reputable a character in many instances—into a state of establishment— Irom a body of men whose duty did not, it is [eared, cease with the safely of the king, into corps whose sphere of work was strictly dcOncd, and into whose ranks die best and bravest of the land have since eagerly sought for admission. From the Wars of the Roses us! lie dated the decadence of the old order of personal bodyguard. The victory of Richmond on Bosworlh Held nnd his assumption of the Crown as Henry VII. of England, were events ot the highest importance so far as tho bodyguard was concerned. It was formed info a permanent corps and as ihc Yeoman of (he Guard ol our Lord the King, or, as tlio Oftecnth century warrants descrllic It, "Vnlc- Ctl garde domini Regis," it was given a title and a constitution which have descended lo us In the |lWcn- Uelli century. iVyWVW\\aA*AAA»AVTVW DRESS GOODS Just received a Large Consignment oi New Dress Goods which consists oi TWEEDS, CASHMERE and LADIES CLOTH.
