There is great excitement in Van

Kootenay. B. O., where, it is said by
conservative men, there have been %
mines discovered, which will be worth
about million each yearly to their
owners. They are mostly owned by
Americans. Excitement was increased
by the announcement that silver was
going up and immense silver deposits Of
West Kootenay, running 500 to q ton
on the average, would come into the
market.
On top Of this came the news Of salts

c., few miles from Vancouver, that
while John Mcleod was boring for wa
ter in front of the Methodist church he
was surprised to strike fine fake gold in
quantities at 900 feet from the surface.
After galloping into Westminster, -
miles distant, to stake his claim, he re-
turned to prospect and found that gold
ran 30 cents to the pan and was Of the
finest fake quality and worth $2l an
ounce. Persons in the vicinity are fe-
verishly excited. They believe Mcleod
has struck the bed Of an old river, and
preparations are being made to honey.

Attorney General Intervenes In
Pearsall's Appeal Against
/, Hills Road.
Declined to Do So When the
Case Came Up Before
Judge Sanborn,
But Now Appears BY Consent
of All the Parties to
the Record.

ST. PAUL, Nov. 27.-AttOrney General
Ch,lds has interviewed on behalf Of the
state in the appeal Of the injunction
suit of Thomas w. Pearsall against the
Great Northern Railway company.
This is the case in which Mr.. Pearsall,
o stockholner in the Great Northern,
applied to the United States court for
an injunction to prevent that company
from consolidating with the Northern
Pacific. When the hearing came up
before Judge Sanborn, General Childs
was given an opportunity to intervene
On behalf Of the state, but he declined
to do 90. The case was decided by
Judge SaQborn in favor Of the company.
General Childs then, on behalf Of the
state, began q action Of a similar ma
ture in the district court, and few
days ago Judge Kelly granted the in.
junction asked for, his decision being
directly contradictory Of that Of Judge
Sanborn. Mr.. ;Pearsall has taken IN
appeal from the decision Of Judge San.
hern TO tho supreme court Of the United
States, and BY consent Of all parties to
the record, General Childs has been
allowed to intervene. He has accord
ingly prepared brief, copy of which
was furnished 10 the
Various Parties interested.
10 his brief General Childs reviews the
act of tho legislature granting the orig
i1al charter on the terms Of which the
company claims the right to oonsoai-
date. He also reviews the various sue
ceeding acts by which that right, he
contends. was taken away, if the legis-
lature had ever intended to grant it.
He then goes on to argue that 1t has
always been the policy Of the state to
prevent such consultations as the one
contemplated, quoting from the laws Of
1874 and 1881 to bear out this view, and
also from decisions Of the supreme
court to show that actual consolidation
was what was aimed at in this case.
He urges that the permission to con-
eolidate granted by the charter refers to
lines lying l., the same general direc-
ton, but not competing, the acquisition
of which might merely act as an extern.
sion of the lines Of the defendant.
General Childs next argues as to the
right of the legislature to amend the
Oh rter OF the company 80 as to take
aw " h RIGHT. if it had ever been in.
tend d to p rmit it to consolidate with
parallel or conn citing lines.
