WERE DEVOURED BY CANNIBALS ‘Ten Vessels Wrecked on Patagonian Consts. Chicago, Wenesday.—A special to the Tribune from Norfolk, Va., says: According to the reports brought in today, 10 ships are ashore in the straits of Magellan. The steamship Kurdistan, Captain Littlehale, re- ported six and the Heedless, Cap- tain Milton, reported four. * Each vessel came through the straits bound here for coal and had an ex- tremely rough voyage. While off the Patagonian coast the wrecked vessels could be dis- cerned, but owing to the heavy weather and the treacherous forma- tion of the coast line neither vessel dared approach and the names of the wrecked steamships or fate of the crews could not be learned. The wrecks stretched out for sev- § | eral miles. Judging from a former experience of the Kurdistan the crews of the wrecked vessels may have been de- and allowed Lad: ith to be sel d as a camp providing guns equal in range to those mounted against it on the outlying hills, hut that the. defect of this blunder was counteracted by the naval 12-pounders sent from the ships in the nick of time. .This cannot be denied, nor can jt be questioned that the naval guns on . improved carriages have transformed the squadron at Estcourt satrd-on.the. Orange river. . A point which Englishmen, not connected vices-perceive, is that the resources of the British government for carrying-on war at a long distance inland are enormously increased by the | active co-operation of the army and navy in the present p The bluejack now on ibition at Ladysmith, Est- court and the Orange river, are like the sepoys displayed at Malta by Lord B field as a p 1 reminder to Russia that there was more than one way of ‘fighting a big campaign.

DOUBLE THE MINERAL TAX That Resort Threstened in Case, Bilver-Lead Operators Refuse to. Throw Open Their . Propertios—Support of Rossland Mine Man- agers Is Sought. The provincial government is quietly taking a hand in the Slocan labor situation and by the tacit threat of doubling the output tax it will endeavor to make the mine owners of that district reopen their. properties. R. F. .Tolmie, secretary of the Silver-Lead Mines association, who had been here several. days consul- ting with the local, mine operatorsi returned to, Nelson this morning. Mr. Tolmie has, been here doing missionary work for his . association and he has been trying to get. the . support of the Rossland mine .own- ers in carrying on his propoganda. } The provincial. government is notoriously ill pleased at the atti- tude of the Slocan mine owners in closing down their properties. Now it is intimating that unless the oper- ators there comply with the.eight- . hour law and _recommence opera- tions, the present mineral tax of 1% on net smelter returns . will be x doubled. Such a move, so the ad- . ministration represents, will-be nec- essary to gain the estimated reve-’. nue which: would ordinarily go to the province were the Slocan. mines working at’ their normal capacity. - The ‘incréase ‘would: come~-inost seriously on the Rossland mines which are working full time, and Mr. Tolmie. chose, the present op- portune time to appeal to the local managers for their support in fight- ing the eight-hour law. The Silver- Lead Mines association,, which he represents, believes the law illegal, and is preparing to fight it. A $10,- ooo fund would be necessary, and Rossl are exp d to contribute liberally. The plan is to put a 10-hour shift at work in. the Payne mine, in defiance of the law, and make a test case of the issue. * Now a meeting of all the mine owners over the Kootenays is being arranged for early next month to decide finally on plans for the fight. -Bayanbang. voured by cannibals.
