HOSSLAND EVENING RECORD, APRIL 5, 19% INA NEW PLAGE Le Roi Vein Struck in Grading West of the Old Shaft. FULLY FORTY FEET WIDE Tho Strike Made in Grading for New Engine —Doelay in Receiving the Oompressor— Boilers for the Black Bear Plant on the Way. The grading for the new engine of the Le Roi mine, which is being carried on by a large force of men, has uncovered the Le Roi vein at a point 360 feet west of the old shaft, where it is go feet wide and carries shipping ore. The vein has not been developed under this point, and this discovery indicates a large reserve of shipping ore, the exis- tence of which was hitherto un- known. Great disappointment is felt by ‘the management of the B, A. C. at the delay in the arrival of the com- pressor, which was due here on Feb. 25, as the mines cannot be worked to their full capacity nnttl this machinery is installed. The six 1oo0-horse-power boilers for the Le Roi plant at the Black Bear tunnel have been shipped from the east and are expected to arrive next week. Meanwhile the brick- layers are busily engaged on the brick setting for the boilers, which will be sufficiently far advanced to receive them on their arrival. Grading for the new electric hoist at the No. 1 shaft is proceed- ing and-the hoist is being delivered ready for installation. The framing of the headworks at the Nickel Plate is nearly completed and their erection will begin inime- diately. The hoist is also being as- sembled. Good progress is being made with the sinking. of the shaft and it is now down 500 feet. No leveis will be started till a depth of | fora co 600 feet is reached. Particularly good progress is being made in sinking the vertical shaft on the Columbia-Kootenay.

And further, they will not seek to interfere with the companies in. employing or dis- charging employes, or interfere with contractors." The acceptance of the proposi- sition is strongly urged by R. C. Ciute, the Dominion labor commis- sioner, and Ralph Smith, M.P.P., in a letter to the union. They ap- peal to the men in favor of the set- tlement of the difficulty by reason instead of force, in favor of mutual confidence instead of distrust, and they analyze the managers’ propo- sition in detail, showing how every objection to the contract system has been met by concessions. They say in conclusion: “The result of these negotiations is before you, We regardit as a great advance to anything that has hitherto taken place, in restoring and promoting that mutual trust and confidence between employer and employes which isso absolutely essential to the best interests of both parties, and without which no permanent settlement can be ob- tained. In view of all the facts and circumstances known to us, and be- lieving these to be the best terms that can possibly be obtained, we strongly recommend its adoption by the union.” ‘To Cure a Cold In One Day Take Laxative Bromine Quinine Tablets.

BY TWO TO ONE MAJORITY Managers are Notified of the Decision and ‘Will Immediately Put the Mines in Fall Operation—Foroes Will Soon Be Increased to'2500 Men,” By a vote of 218 to 103, the mem bers of the miners’ union decided yesterday to accept the agreement in regard to contract work offered by Managers MacDonald and’ Kirby, and this morning the execu- tive committee, with R. C. Clute and Ralph Smith, waited on thos2 gentlemen to notify them of the de- cision. The next step to be taken is the submission of bids forthe several contracts to be let in each mine and and the closing of these contracts. The news of the miners’ decision was the occasion of a special méeting of the board of trade, at whicn Manager MacDonald of the B. A. C. furnished data for a dis- patch to the Associated Press, an- nouncing the settlement, also say- ing: “‘The management of the leading mines have announced that all properties will be worked to the full capacity of their machinery plants, and as about a quarter of a million dollars worth of new ma- chinery is being installed, this BRITISH SU By Associated Press.

Fought Beside Their Husbands in the QT A Martial By Associated Press, New York, April 6.—The World correspondent at Pretoria, Howard Hallegas, has sent a long letter, ia which he gives an interesting and thrilling story of the way in which the Boer women are helping their husbands, sons and brothers in the war. The world knowsno finer ex- ample of heroism than that exhib- ited by fourteen women in the fight- ing around Spion Kop. | He says: “A strictly family party of Boers, 14 men and their wives, were en- yaged in one position and held it with amazing bravery against a small force of British.

NUMBERS AGAINST LOCIC of Liberal 0 i Shuts Out 30 Anti-Martin Delegates—They Foree an Entrance and Havea Fight, Which Is Stopped by Police. (Special to the Record.) Vancouver, B. C., April 6.—The provincial Liberal convention got down to business about 10:30 this morning after a very natrow escape from a general smashup. All yester- day and part of this .morning was taken up by the credential committee, which held four stormy sessions. The Martinites were in the majority on _|this committee and were bent on barring several proxies, who, they claimed, were not regularly elected. The anti-Martinites, in spite of their logic, were voted down, with the result that about 30 representatives who are opposed to Martin were shut out of the convention. The rejected ones were very much i J over this t They determined not to be outdon and, headed by Harry Senkler of Van- couver, they smashed down a side door and entered the hall by force. A few men were knocked down in the crush, but no one was seriously hurt. The chairman being unable to re- store order, the police were called. A squad of five soon arrived, but, as they were not certain of their authority, they -did nothing more than stand on guard to prevent further disturbance. The uproar inside lasted for more than half an hour, when finally the intruders decided to leave the hall. The convention took. recess for lunch at 12:30. The whole morning was taken up with debating a mo- tion to reject the report of the rifles. Finally 50 British with fixed bayonets, charged on the entrenchment, As they . came closer, the Boer men crept over the earthworks and, while the women began shooting, with the butts of their guns: tried to hammer back the British soldiers, wives eyes all of the 14 Boers was killed—bayoneted or shot. The 14 women, so quickly widowed, never thought of surrendering but fought most valia ntly and coolly for half an hour, until the British sur- rounded them. * “Scores of women have been in every commando’s laager. They have not visited, for only one has been without her rifle and bando- liers—Mrs. Joubert, wife of the commander-general of the Trans- vaal forces. “Try to imagine a bride and groom going to war on their honey- moon. When I left Pretoria for the front, a friend introduced me to a young Boer couple, who were going on the same train and who had been married but a week. I thought my friend joking when he said they were going to fight the British, al- though both Boer man and wife had Mauser rifles and each wore three bandoliers, two over their shoulders and one around the waist. When the train reached the end of the line, a short. distance north of Ladysmith, Mme. Boer alighted with her hus- ent head ters, with all ib! speed, and I dispatched the Cam- eron Highlanders thence to Beth- any. He arrived at Reddersbury at 10:30 yesterday morning without opposition, but could get no news of the British detachment. There can be no doubt that the party has been made prisoners.” band, d in taking two horses from the last car of the train and rode toward one of the laagers in the distance. “The presence of the women puts spirit into the men and keeps them from b i ick or desp Before their | cr ial which p to last forever. . WHOLE CONSPIRACY EXPOSED. ‘Taylor and His Officers Impttrated in Murder of Goebel. By Associated: Press. - New York, April 6.—Henry E. Youtsey, the Newport stenographer now. under arrest for complicity in the assassination of Goebel, has, it is said, made a complete confession of the crime, says a_ Louisville dis- patch to the Evening World. He charges that the fatal shot was fired by Jim Ward, a noted Clay county feud leader, who prev- iously had one murder to his credit. Youtsey further declares that in the conspiracy to remove Goebel were Governor W. S. Taylor, Secretary of State Caleb Powers, ex-Secretary lof State Charles Finlay, Captain John Powers, of the Barbourville militia Company, Sergeant Whar- ton Golden, of the same command, W. H. Culton, clerk in the office of Auditor Steeny, and himself. A price was placed upon the man’s life and the sum paid over was $1600, which Youtsey says lie himself handled. The $600 as the first instalment was paid just be- fore the fatal shot was fired. FIGHTING IN ASHANTI. Native Troops Sent to Supress Tribal Ware—The Wires Cat. By Associated Press.
