Backed BY Unlimited European

Directors
Will Undertake the Development
Of the Canadian Northwest
and Alaska. =
Trading and Mining Enterprises
to Be Conducted on q
Vast Scale.

Few YoRK, Nov. 3s.-Ths Herald
says: Several Of the leading directors
OF the Canadian Pacific railway, who
are backed by unlimited English cap.
ital and have the promise Of liberal
rights from the Canadian government,
have organized an extensive mining
company, which promises to eclipse
anything that was ever projected in
this country. III
They will conduct mining operations
and various transportation and trading
enterprises on vast scale in British
Columbia-particularly in the newly
developed sections Of Alaska. It 10 not
unlikely that they will open up SECTIONS
Of the great Northwest.
+ This is the syndicate that Lieutenant
Governor Mcintosh Of the Northwest
province, referred to when he returned
to New York from England.
Mr.. Mcintosh at that time gave no
details, but said that some Of the lead
ing English capitalists. including the
Canadian Pacific directors, had decided
to launch . great enterprise for mining
gold and other minerals, and he. also
said that very likely they would do
some railroad building and open up new
territory. He assumed that the new
road would be operated in connection
with the Canadian Pacific.
John W. Mackay I'm It.
It is now definitely known that Pres.
ident Van Horne, Lord Mount Stephen,
aud other influential directors Of that
company, who are also interested in tel
egraph matters, will take q leading
part in the new projects. and besides
the English capital, it 10 reported that
John w. Mackay and the Rothschilds
are interested.
Whether the latter are connected
with the Canadian Pacific scheme, could
not be definitely ascertained, but Mr..
Mackay 3 friends. it 10 reported. have
heard him speak Of q vast gold mining
scneme in which fortunes are likely to
be make during the next few years.
Mr.. Mackay Is associated with the di-
rectors Of the Canadian Pacific in one
or two enterprises.
the report about Mr.. Mackay stated
that he had made prospects on large
sca.e in various parts Of the United
States, as well as British Columbia. It
was reported that 81. Maitland Kersey,
American agent Of the White Star line.
would resign his position to become
manager Of Mr.. Mackay's company.

DR.. Martin.

A large audience heard DIR. Martin
last night on ''Sclence and the Bible. ~
Inc audience gave particular attention
and In turn IL seemed to put Dr. Martin
al Il 5 best. Is is difficult to popularize
such lecture but the evangelist SO ar
ranged his material that 1t kept the
attention aid interest of all alike. The
speaker did not sssail the theory of
evolution. He said 1t was only theO-
~ and had never been substanciated.
the scient lists themselves beng the
judges. For proof of every assertion
made the speaker quoted a number of
well known men OF science. The speak
er sad that the Mosaic account of cres
tlon would never be set aside even II
Dsrwln1arlsm should be proved in
toto. Prof. Dana is master in the
world of geology and a moderate evo-
lutlOnlst, and yet he applauded the first
chapter of Genesis to mis- great work
on geology, to show how it harmonized
with nature. The so called missing
link" OF DarwinIarism was not single
link, as Is commonly thought, of some
animal a little more man Than monkey
and little more monkey
than man but as many links
as there are species, which
found but one, still it would not prove
the theory. A chain is no stronger
than its weakest link and it is NOT
chain as iong as a link Is gone. So the
proof of the theory of DOrwin is yet in
the very remote future. Those of US
who have simple faith in the bible
may well rest easy yet a long, long
tlme-and then Lot necessarily be hard
put to it after it shall have been con-
ciusively proved.
Great appreciation was shown by the
number OF people who congratulated
the speaker on his effort. Miss Harri-
son again delighted all by Der sweet
singing. Her selections are especially
appropriate. Miss Phelps assisted with
her CHARMING alto when the chorus
was reached. Miss Harrison sings
every night during the remainder of

THE WHITE OAKS ROAD.
The WIFE OAhO hOAD.
Grading Will Probably Begin About
November l.

NONeIuUtI i.
il Campbell, chief engineer of the
White Oaks railroad, arrived in the
city Saturday evening and was seen
this morning by a HERALD reporter.
He said the preliminary surveying
corps were now out about fifty miles
and were working back this way and
would reach Fort Bliss about NOvem-
Der l. Work on permanent location
would be begun as sOOa as the survey
ing corps returned and contracts for
grading would be let just as soon as
the engineering work was far enough
advanced SO that bids could be made.
The company had not yet decided just
how much of the old ten miles of White
Oaks road that is already built would
be used and this matter would be de-
cided later. The old road bed beyond
Fort Bliss has been badly washed, but
still is all good and would be used.
The grade for the first one hundred
miles will be cOmpar atively light, but
when the mountains were reached
heavy work would begin. The distance
from Ell Paso to White Oaks is one
hundred and fifty six miles.
Mr.. Campbell is figuring on the
culvert and bridge work and all other
necessary accessories in building a
railroad and everything around the
Office indicates that the spromotors are
about ready to begin work on the road.
Mr.. Eddy was seen this noon, but
said he had nothing at present to say
beyond the fact that both he and his
brother were very, very busy. The
surveyors were finishing up the pre-
liminary work, and shortly the location
stakes will be driven. As to the con-
tracts for construction material Mr..
Eddy was not ready to give out facts
vet, for business reasons.
