Nor ie it his bigness, nor his sun-tanned face. But there is an intelligence of xpression and an alertness of bear- ing in the drab companies that make as look at them twice as they tramp This combination of the sturdiness of body and weather-heaten face that ate the marks of the countryside, with Mie brightness and interes of expres- sion that are usually the stamp of the fown give you the whole secret of the Sulgarian s excelience as war ma- terial.

On his return to Prince Rupert Alderman Kerr said: I was with a party of engineers some miles from the lake and came down for packers. I met the two prespectors and endeavored to hire them for that purpose. While I was there they put in a shot and the result-was that untold riches were shown in the ground.

B. Daniell for the offence of crim- inally Hbelling Mr. J. Hammond, through the columns of the South Fort George Herald. The Justice addressed Daniell as follows: P Daniell, have you anything to say why the Bentence of this court should not be, passed upon you. Mr. Danfell No, J bayen't any- thing to say.

It was several days before the news of the strike reached Prince Rupert, when it was announced in a special edition of the Daily News. Immedi- ately men prepated to leave for Kit- sumkalum, which s about ninety, miles up the G. T. P. The lake is twenty-six miles from the town and is reached by a trail recently completed by the government.

Think of the use that could be made of-such a photo by some rotten, ma- licious individual, who might follow you ten, twenty or thirty years kence With a view to assisting in the Peace, decency, morality and- obser- nce of an order in this country, and the: proper conduct and the purity of the press, I am not going to send you to jail. I hope this will be a lesson to you.

Never forget lt. In this young country we are all comparatively youn; the road is. long. None of us can afford to have enemies. None of us can afford to make them. The power of the press is enormous. The solicitude of pat- Mament to protect the people and the press s very great.

Over 1,500,000 more in gold will be milned in the Klondike district this year than last, averred Mr. Grant last evening at the Hotel Van couver, at present there are eleven dredges working on the various prop- erties of Bonanza, El Dorado and Hunker Creek, while two of the lar- gest gold dredges ever constricted in the world are neearly completed for work on a rich chain of claims fowned by the Klondike Mining Com- pany, The Treadgoid Mining Company are also contemplating many im- provements and new strikes have re- cently been made on Stewart River and Scroggie Creek. In this latter district a succession of claims of very rich promise had been located and over two hundred prospectors and miners at present working on the properties are clear- ing an average wage of 25 per day With chemical. processes of separat- ing the gold and with the -Introduc- tion of better machinery; thie yield however, can be greatly increased as the present methods employed con sist Of the old-fashioned sluice and cradle. . Mir. Grant described conditions in other parts of the north as decidedly bright. There was a great influx of miners and settlers into the coun- try at present and wages paid were brighter than for years. The intro- duction of better means of communi- ation by steamship and railway had naturally had the effect of decreasing the prices of foodstuffs, although the cost. of living was still a very heavy item for the newcomer to contend with. 2 This morning Mr. Grant will sail from Victoria on the C. P.

Preserving Ties Would Save Canadian Rail- ways Vast Sum Yearly. There were 13,683,770 cross-ties purchased in Canada in 1911, ac- cording to statistics compiled by the Forestry Branch of the Department of the Interior. This Is dn increase of 4,469,808 (48.6 per cent.) over the number pur- chased in 1910. The increase fs large- ly due to railway construction, which was especially noticeable in the Wes- tern Provinces on the new transcon- tinental lines, The replacement of tles on existing lines amounted about 10,000,000, Eighteen kinds of wood were used, Jack pine standing first in import- ance, aumerically, with about 40 per cent, of the total. Tamarack stood second with almost 19 per cent., and Douglas fir with 14 per cent. and hemlock with 12 per cent.-occupted third and fourth places respectively: The average price of ties In 1911 Was 39 cents, one cent more than in 1910. Southern pine ties at 1.10 im- ported from the United States, were the most expensive, and spruce ties at 26 cents were the cheapest. The sawn tles is increasing in favor, evi- average, 41 cents a pleco, or 4 cents more than bewn ties, while in 1910 the hewn t's were the more expen- : sive by 3 cents, Only 206 209 ties, or 1.5 per cent. of the total umber purchased were giv- n preservative treatment.
