sa
whe Ciara Hanmer Company
The Clara Hanmer company
played “Man and Master” to a fair
at the opera house last

:fixed at $8000, the defend: in
$4000 and two sureties in $2000
each.

The perjury is alleged to ‘have
been committed by the prisoner in
his sworn declaration to Gold Com-
missioner John Kirkup in relation
to his location of the Velvet frac-
tion, which covers the ground of
the Tupper fraction in the Velvet

evening and held the interest
throughout. The play is a d.ama
full of strong situations, which are
brought into good relief, Chic
West, the heroine, gives good op-
portunities tor Miss Hanmer to dis-
play her ability as a soubrette and
David Williams as Jerry, the honest
Irish manservant, ably seconds her

in ing the comedy element of

Mines group. The al-
leged to be purjured is as follows:
“That to the best of my knowl-'
edge and belief. the Zrouud | com-
prised within the boundaries of the’
ional claim is pied by
any other person as a mineral claim;
that it is not occupied by any build-
ings or any land falling within the
curtilage of any dwelling house,“ or’
any orchard, or any land under cul-
tivation, or any Indian reservation.”

Mr. Morrish, in. his information,
alleges that Algiers well knew that
on July 16 and for a long time pre-
viously ‘the ground comprised
within the boundaries of the said)
Velvet fraction mineral claim was’
in’ the actual occupation of the
‘Velvet Mines, Limited,

“\ And that the said ground -was
also occupied by several buildings
belonging to the said Velvet Mines,
Limited, to wit, a large boarding
house, four dwelling houses and
two'stables, all in the actual occup-
ation of the said Velvet Mines,
Limited, their employees and their:

horses, as the said. FE. CH ‘Algiers H

well knew.”

MINOR MENTION

the. play. Frank Sawyer makes
Gerald Stone duly contemptible as a
villain, ‘while, the part of his slave,
James O'Neil, whose rebellion puts
him to confusion, is well rendered by
Harry Myers. Alice Lord is charm-
ing and sympathetic in the dual
parts of Florence St. Clair ar.d Ma-
bel West, and Robert St. Clair, the
herog is well portrayed by R. Rus-
sell Williams. Some good special-
ties fill the gaps between acts, in-
cluding the electric dance by Miss
Hanmer and a clever sand dance in
imitation of the sound of a train by
Mr. Sawyer.

The play tonight will be the
“Black Flag,” with anew set of
specialties between acts.

RAILROAD POLICY

Government Sustained in Committee By
Chairman’s Vote.

CASSIAR MEMBERS OBJECT

They Will Urge Need of Competing Railroads
to the Yukon—Opposition Propose Many
Amendments to Railroad Ohartera—Squat-
tors On B. & N. Lands Air Grievances. -

Special to the Record.
Victoria, B. C. Aug. 14.->The’
gov policy regarding rail-
way charters connecting Lynn can-
al.with Yukon waters was sustained
this morning, by the casting vote of
Chairman Pooley. The division
arose over Mike King’s bill and it is
expected that the same policy will
be entorced against the Chilkat Pass
road. Upon the report of the com-
mittee, it is expected that the ‘Cas-
siar members will move to amend,
urging the need for competition.
The estimates will be brought
down late this afternoon.

A committee was organized this
morning to consider squatters griev-
ances on E, & N. railway lands.
These chiefly deal with right to
minerals, the present deeds only con-
veying surface rights: A requisition
has been made, for evidence, which
will be considered on Thursday.

Opposition amendments to rail-
way charters are expected to occupy
this afternoon. These consist of
8 garding gov pur-
chase, over-bonding, loss of pro-
vincial benefits if placed under the
Dominion Act, anti-Chinese clauses
and several others.
