The next big mining excitement in the
north will be in the Tanana country. At
least, such Is the opinion of L. j. N. NAL
min, attorney for the N. A. T. & T. Co.,
who Is in Skagwav enroute to Dawson.
Mr.. Malmim arrived Yesterday on the
Humboldt, having just returned from
Nome on the Roanoke. He had gone to
Nome from Dawson in connection with
business for his company, and has made a
careful inquiry as to the situation all along
the Yukon

coming development of the country that
elaborate preparations are now being made
to handle the business.
1.-TWO towns are competing for the place
of supply point. Those at Weare, at the
mouth of Tanana river. believe their town
to be better situated to handle the business
than any other town. They claim that
steamers can run up the Tanana to within
forty miles of the diggIngs, and they are
preparing for that purpose.
1.-The other town which is a candidate
for metropolitan honors is Circle. 1t Is
already becoming quite active on account
of the increased travel into the country.

ably go via Weare and those going in

KING WILL TRY AGAIN
Applicants Are Still Confident
Claim They Would Have Won
Had the Government Not Made
it Party QuestiOn--At Ottawa
Next.

By straight party vote the British
Columbia parliament adopted the COM
mittee'S report, which defeated the appli-
cation of M, King for franchise TO build
the Chilkoot-Lake Bennett railroad last
Wednesday. The action was taken after
a vigorous debate that lasted nearly all
day.
Those who favored the committees re-
port urged the fact that to grant another
franchise for short line from the head of
Lynn can Il would defeat an all Canadian
route.
The opposition secuted the argument
and claimed that there was no prospect of
an all Canadian railway, They main
talned that the argument was not ad-
vanced ingood faith.
Ex. Lieut.. Governor Mclnnes, who lead
the debate for those supporting the fran
chise said in part:
"Of the construction of an all Canadian
route there was no immediate prospect.
ioih NitliiIddt W iOSlll Was 4bO HllltS-
too long by far to afford any hope of COM
petng with 4I-mile line. To the longer
road the province would be justified in
granting even $4,000 per mile. but 200
per mile would be required from the Cana
dian government, and there was little
hope of this, Such grant would destroy
our side of the boundary question argu-
ment. But then if this line were built and
the Canadian claim allowed, both Dyea
and Skagway would be in Canada, and
there would be two short all Canadian
roads"
H. A. Mum, who is connected with
Mr.. King, and who arrived from Victoria
on the Danube Yesterday, represented the
applicants before the committee, He is
not discouraged and has entire confidence
in the ultimate triumph of the application
being granted. He said
I'VE had the fight won until the Duns-
muir cabinet announced that the govern
ment would oppose the franchise The
majority of the members believe that the
welfare of the province would be sub

pared to give us the franchise.

MILL PULLED OFF
in BANKERS BARN
Four Fierce Rounds Between Local
Lightweights in Stable in
West Scranton.

Thomas Bowling and Howard Roth
mel, two local lightweights who aspire
to ascend the pugilistic ladder of
fame, fought a real prize fight last
night within a stones throw of the
West Scranton police station.
The former is employed as a coach-
man by Franklin Howell, who owns
a well-lighted stable in the rear of
his home on Scranton street.
In this stable the crowd of sports
gathered to the number Of about
twenty-five, each having paid an ad-
mission to the scrap. The fight was
to have been ten rounds, Bowling
agreeing to stop Rothmel within that
limit or forfeit 500, as against 80
posted by RothmeIs friends. The
fight ended in the fourth round, when
the referee gave his decision in favor
of Rothmel, on a foul
William Jenkins acted as referee,
and the fighters We're seconded by
Louis Franklin and William Gallagher.
The bout was patronized by a number
of prominent young men, whose names
would not look we'll in print in connec-
tiOn with such an affair.
Several other scraps have also been
| pulled off in Howells stables, under
the auspices of Dowling's club.

guardians" consent. Have guard

w. BerthOlf, when the young people
appealed to him. Mrs. Brown, with
whom Miss Coleman lived, agreed to
become guardian and give the consent
which Clerk Daniels awaited.
Judge Kelly was appealed to. With
regret in every syllable, he told the
hopeful young people that he must
needs refuse the young lady's appli-
cation. 1--WE can't appoint guardians

sion Of court that we are authorized

after he had tried vainly to figure out
some way Of getting around the OBJ

"but 1 guess you will have to wait"
They concluded to wait and the
judge promised TO make the apulica-

MEETING OF BOARD OF TRADE
One Will Be Called to See What Can
Be Done.

1t can be definitely announced that
the Scranton board of trade will hold
special meeting either tomorrow
night or the beginning of next week
for the purpose Of taking some action
to prevent, if possible, the threatened
strike of the anthracite coal opera
tiVes.
President Lansing, realizing that
such a strike would prove exceeding
ly disastrous to all of the varied
business interests of the city, decided
yesterday that it would be wise 20
call such a meeting, but he has not
yet selected the exact date.
Just what the board will do Is, of
cOurse,a matter of conjecture as yet,
but it was intimated yesterday by one
high in the condolences of the leading
members of the organization that a
conference between the operators and
miners In this part of the anthracite
field arranged through the influence
of some of the prominent members OF
the board, was a possibility.

NEGLIGENCE IS CHARGED
Inquest Conducted by Coroner Rob-
erts in the Case of the Murray
Boy, Killed at the Holden.

Coroner Roberts conducted an in
quest last night in his office in the
case of Patrick Murray, the 13-year-
old boy who was killed at the Holden
mine last Friday by being run over
by loaded coal car. Two important
things were developed at the inquest,
which will require the immediate at
tention of the mine inspector. One
was that the dangerous practice Of
taking boys Irom the breaker to pull
the loaded cars from the chutes is in
vogue at the Holden, and the other
is that parents are in the habit Of
falsely certifying to the ages of the
boys who are thus employed.
The mine laws require that boys
must be II years of age before they
can be employed in the breaker, and
it was shown by the testimony of one
of them tnat he has worked in the
Pyne, Taylor and Holden breakers up
wards of four years and is not yet the
required age. Nearly all of the boys
who were sworn testified to ages be-
low IL years.
Foreman William b. Owen, who was
also sworn, testified that he had in
his possession certificates from par
ents of the boys certifying their ages
within the required limit. 1t was also
brought out in the testimony that the
reason the company refrains from us
ing animals instead of human beings
to pull the cars is due to the fact that
the harness on the mules is too easily
broken.
From the gist of the testimony 1t
was CLEANED that the Murray boy, to-
gether with number of his Compan-
ions, had been taken from the breaker
to pull the cars. This was done by
means of a rope, upon which the boys
were pulling when the accident oc-
| Cured. They We're fooling and play
ing to initiate a fire company when
Murray fell. The car was being push
ed also from behind by several men.
Before the boy had an opportunity
to recover from the fall and get out
of harms way, the car ran over his
| body and crushed out his life.
The witnesses who testified were:
| William Il. owen, foreman at the
mine; John Murray, father of the boy
who was killed; John Higgins, Johr
| Powell Thomas Moffat, Thomas vii.
liams, Samuel Barley, Thomas Proc.
| tor and Richard Robbins, employees al
| the collery.
The father contends that the com.
| pany was negligent in taking the boys
| from the breaker to perform suCf
work. and the witnesses told substan
TALLY the circumstances as described
| above.
Mine Inspector Prytherch was pres
ent and cross-eXamlned the witnesses
and Attorney John r. Wilson appeared
in behalf of the company.
The jury, after much deliberation
| rendered the following:
We find that the aforesaid Patrick Murray cam
TO his death by being accidentally crushed be
| meath the wheels Of a gondola car. We furthe
| express our dSapproyal Of the practice Of moY
| ing cars by plnCng boys before them to pul
upon a rope and ccnsurc the officials OF the com
panv for allowing such practice.
