LONDON MEETING.
Crowd Was Not Representative Nor
Were Speakers.

London, Sept 17.-Although the
weather today was beautiful the much
talked of demonstration in Hyde park
London, against the verdict of the
Rennes courtmartial recondemning
Dreyfus on the charge of treason,
proved a spiritless affair. A few thou
sand collected around the seven plat
forms, but they were mainly boys, serv-
ant girls and idlers. Very few Jews or
foreigners were in evidence. The large
force of police in attendance had moth
ing to do, as demonstration could not
have possibly been more orderly.
The speakers were in no way inf1uen-
tiai. Most of the interest centered
around the platform where Mr.. Hart
Sefeld, a relative of Dreyfus, delivered
an address.
The speakers deprecated boycotting a
whole nation ''for the sake of five
judges and a scoundrel."
AT the various platforms resolutions
were adopted expressing sympathy with
Madame Dreyfus and adherence for
the generals who figured at the trial
rendering congra tulations to Emile lola
Lieutenant Colonel Picquart, Maitre
Labor, Maitre Demange and others
and appealing to France to release and
rehabilitate Dreyfus before it should be
too late. These were carried with the
greatest enthusiasm.
Various flags were displayed, includ-
ing the stars and stripes and the tri-
color of France. A French lady was re
moved for continually crying "Vive
FArmee,'' and man was elected for
shouting "Vive Mercier."

III,


The lieutenant governor of the north
west territories, who had been jour-
nalist and had a nose for news, heard
of the new camp. All the while men
were rushing to the Klondike, for it is
the nature of man to go from home for
a thing that he might secure under his
own vine.
The governor visited the new camp.
A man named Ross Thompson had

shares were held by Spokane people.
, The governor having arranged with
wealthy English syndicate, was in a
position to buy the mine, but the own
ers did not seem anxious to sell. Even
tually, however, when he was able 10
offer them an average OF Sl5o for
shares that had cost the holders but
from 10 to so cents a share, about half

shares already secured, would put his
friends in control of the property.
AS news of the proposed sale got out,
the gorge that was yawning between
the two factions grew wider.
Finally, when the day arrived for the
transfer to be made, the faction OPP

sheriff. 1t was the wild, long whistle of
the lone black engine just leaving the
yards. The two officers faced each

The two machines were running al

the fireman opened the furnace door,

and his deputy.
Slowly now the black flyer began to
slip away from the electric machine.
The driver, smiling across the glare
of the furnace door at his silent, sooty
companion, touched the throttle again
and the great engine drew away from
the trolley, as a jack rabbit who has
been fooling with yellow dog passes
swiftly out of reach of his silly yelp.
Now the men on the trolley heard
the wild, triumphant scream of the iron
horse, whistling for Hitler. The three
directors of LIE Roi had been warned
by wire and were waiting, ready to
board the engine.
The big wheels had scarcely stopped
revolving when the men began to get
on. They had barely begun to turn
again when the trolley dashed into

Two prospectors had three claims in

they had not the $3.50 to pay for hav-

THE Yellowstone Park and the colo

In time the prospectors returned 50 of
the loan, and gave the colonel one of

for his kindness to them, for they
reckoned it a bully good prospect. Be
cause they considered it the best claim
in the camp they called it LIE Roi. Sub
sequently the colonel sold this king"
that had cost him $3.50 for $4,000
The new owners of lie Roi stocked
the claim and for the following two or
three years when a man owed debt
that he was unwilling to pay he paid
it in lie Roi stock. If he felt like back
ing doubtful horse he put up hand
full of mining stock to punish the win

interesting mine a story of man

from into court, declaring that the pa

gan to ship ore. 1t was worth S27 ton

shares that were worth $500, 900. Nearly
all the men who had put money into
the enterprise were UNDERSTANDING
men from Spokane, just over the bor-

all the stray shares that could be found
and in a little while eight-tenths of the
shares were held by men living south
of the line. At Northport, in Washing
ton, they built one of the finest Smelt-
ers in the northwest, hauled their ore
over there and smelted it. The ore was
rich in gold and copper. They put in a
300-horse power hosting engine and a
40-drill air compressor, the largest in
Canada taking all the money for these
improvements out of the mine. The
thing was a success, and news iof it

with money started for the new gold
