The gist of the debate iu favor of the second reading of the bill introduced by Adams to prohibit the FRIDAY MARCH 19, 1897. WAS THE STANLEY SALTED? One of.the worst crimes against the commercial life of a mining disirict is salting a mine and the punishment should be correspond- ingly severe. The reputation of the district must be kept clean The mining industry must be a plain business proposition and any thing that operates to perpe- trate.a fraud upon investors must be swiftly and surely crushed out. There is now a case before the superior court of the state of obtaining special privileges in private bills, was that tee Chinese are a detri- ment to Canada’s Civilization. The points urged in opposition to the exclusion of the Chinese were that it might interfere with Canada’s trade with China and that it might keep capital out of the province.
