Ju actually being offered higher wages er hour than men on the other side of the line, and the fault lies with the government if they are not al- lowed to work longer. A man nat- urally wants all the money he can earn when he comes down to town once every month, and he might as well be working most of the time as staying around the camp doing nothing. In the district there are now. but 200 men available for work, but when the mines start up again 2,- goo men will be . required. Mr. Wood claims that the fight is being kept up now by the mine owners more for the matter of principle than anything else,.for there are a great many of the mining properties that could easily afford to pay $5 per day to the miners rather than to remain idle for any length of time. IN SEPTIC TANKS Rossland Now Waiting to Handle Its Sowage. TORONTO TO USE SYSTEM City Engineor There Reports That $2,000,000 Will Bo Needed to Carry on the Improve- monts Which Have Been Planned in Hand- ling City Sewage. Mayor Goodeve, who has teen corresponding since the first of the year regarding the disposal of the city sewage, is waiting for an an- swer from the septic tank people with regard to the i Nation of the service here. “We ought to carry the sewer mains up as far as Second avenue,” said the mayor. ‘‘That would re- lieve the worst of the congested dis- trict.” The process seems to be meeting with marked approyal all over the country. The model plant is at Champlain, Ill, but Montreal is now putting in a small trial system while Toronto and Vaucouver are each figuring on adopting it. At Vancouver the only hitch is as to right of the promoters to the pat- ents under which they are working. In this connection the Toronto World says: In his supplementary report to the board of works, which, however, was not discussed, the city engineer recommends that if the committee are desirous of commencing work at ‘once a bylaw be submitted to a vote ofthe ratepayers to pro- vide the sum of $2,000,000 to es- tablish the septic tank system of sewage disposal. He says that this amount is somewhat in excess of this estimate of last year for precipitation works, but adds that if the septic tank method is adopted _ the cost of installation will be some- what in excess of the cost of con- structing precipitation works. Further on in his report, Mr. Rust says it must be born in mind that * there isa tendency at present to- ward an increase in price of both labor and material, and if the pro- posed bylaw is submitted to and carried by the ratepayers, thé inter- cepting sewers, which will require to be constructed in any event, could be commenced, and it would probably take three or four years to construct these sewers, and by that time the city would be in a better position to decide which system it would be advisable to adopt tor the disposal of the sewage. HAS ‘TRUE GIANT VEIN. Says For Work Was Done in a Slide. Nicholas Tregear, who is in charge of the development work on the Giant, declares that he has dis- covered the real main vein well above the old workings, where it dips into the hill, Mr, Tregear is sunk on the property last summer was started in a slide and that the real ledge is farther up toward the summit of Red mountain. It is an interesting fact, although one that is almost unknown, that the Giant was worked long. before either the War Eagle or. the Le Roi was staked. Colonel E. S. Top- ping, of Trail, was in town today. ‘‘When I first saw the Le Roi, im- mediately after it was located,” said he, ‘I found an old prospect hole containing a rusty spade, on the ground, which is now covered by the Giant. The work on it had evidedtly been done long before either Bourgeoise or Morris ever saw the Trail Creek district.” IT IS A BEAUTIFUL GALLERY Carpenter & Co. Improving Their Pho- tographic Quarters.

Vancouver, Thursday.—F. A. ‘Wood, one of the principal owners of the Last Chance mine near San- don, who is in the city, denies the statement made recently in a tele- graphic dispatch from Sandon that Italians were being brought into the Slocan for the purpose of taking the places in the mines of the men who were working there before the strike, The operating room is to be en- tirely renovated and new back- grounds will be added. One of them will represent the interior of the ice rink, and is designed es- or, as the miners themselves call it, pecially for picturing the skaters the lock-out. and the curlers: who play so impor- tant a part in the annual winter carnivals..
