It is now claimed that a dispatch hes ;
been received at Vancover from Ottawa,

atating that the documents transferring
Stanley Park and Deadiman’s Island to
the Dominion govarnment, from the im-
perial government, have been found,
and that Theodore Ludgate’s lease holds
-good. Alex, Henderson, M, P. P., the
Dominion government’s -counsel hae
‘been made aware of the: finding of the
“document, It ie really too bad if Van-
couver’s fine park is to be turned into a
logging camp.

The miners theft of our -yesterday’s
telegraph news only went tothe extent
“of taking the Englishman’s Suicide,
Colonel Picquart’s Release, Brilliant
Ball at Manila, Advanced Freight Rates,
Philippine War Not Over, The Hanging
“of Casimir, Japan Aroused and the Mon-
treal Stock Exchange ‘Report. There ie
.no occasion of that sheet entering
-any plea in the case, for it stands con-
yicted of not only pilfering ‘the news,

_ but of being a back number.

Were so fositive that as seon. ag the
$150,000: dollars was voted them, that
the water and light company would
come off its “high horse” and treat with
_ them, at least for the water works, that
some people were led to believe that}
scarcely a day would pass until nego-
tiations were well under way. They
- now begin to ask themeelves what is the

i matter.

The difficulty of getting i

about the mines in Roseland is very
great. The main companies now are
. not obliged to put their ore in broker's
windows to sell stock. The result is
that people in Rossland, let alone out-
siders, do not realize the immense
stridea made since last year. The Cen-
tre Star, Iron Mask, Columbia & Koote-
nay, Nickel Plate, Josie, No. 1, Evening
