If the miners have no they - COUNCILMEN INTERVIEWED. They All Deny The Stntements Made By The Miner. “Buch biissful ignorance regarding facts and figures as that shown in The Miner’s article yesterday morning upon the city finances deserves to be classed asa relic of the dark ages,” said Mayor Scott to a representative of the Recorp. Some of the mistakes show abso- lute ignorance of the facts or else to pre- vent the truth. The figures and ac- counts are mixed and the party that compiled them for The Miner well de- serves to be classed among the modern financiers of the world. “Yes sir,” said the mayor, smiling, “Rossland is too small a place for the ecops of his morvellous abilities which approach second sight. “The article says the city owes $100,- 000. The fact is it owes just $50,000 as every one who can figure the least bit knows. “It says the debenture bylaw was railroaded through. Attorney Arm- strong will testify that proper legal pre- caution was taken. “The writer refers to exhibit “A” “ip the dark recesses.’ All documents are marked exhibits and kept in the same way. He refers to Mr. MacNeille’ opin- ion. That gentleman’s opinion was never asked for by any member of the. council and it was given after his sus- pension.” At this point the mayor called in the_|| city clerk who said taat he told Mr Race that he thought the revenues of last month would amount to nearly $1,000. He did not tell him’ that that was the regular revenue as intimated in the a:ticle. The clerk said he did not understand how the accounts were mixed up so in the ariicle. Alderman George Fraser when seen said: ‘There is hardly a word of trath in the ar ticle. , They must have jumped must unquestionably be wrong 4n even giving their moral support to the print- ers, and withdrawing their support from the Recorp. It is not likely that-a imajority of the miner’s union wasat the meeting Jast night, nor isit impossible for thatorgen-, ization to change its mind if the printers’ succeed, Consistency ‘is a jewel, not posiessed by the miner’s union by the position it now standa in. It is only 9 question of veracity be- ion, whether or not fred barker stated in the union that ‘‘the printers would show the miners how: to win a sirike,”’ and that ifthey succeed; the miners would commence a-war on the mine boarding houses. It.is the printers who are trying to.draw. the miuers into the difficulty and they have succeeded to the extent of cheir “sympathy” and with- drawal of their a. at “Tt is one tissue of lies” said Assessor Cooper. “The statements made are not true,” said Alderman McPherson.

C. P. R. CONTRACT. For Branch Line To Rossland Will Be Let “* "Nov. 15th. the It.is stated from a reliable source, from none other than one of the ©. P, R. en- gineers, that the contract for building the C. P, R. from Robeon to Rossland will be let on the 15th of this month. ‘It is kngwn that for some time the engi- neers in charge of the survey have been piloting contractors over the route, ani furnishing them with data and figures gleaned from surveys already made, which is proof in itself that the work on tween the’members of the printers un-| the city owing $100,000,” said Ald.
