WRECK OF THE L. ;. CUTTER GRANT.
The L. ). revenue cutter Grant is
hard and fast on rock in Saanick
Inlet, ten miles from Victoria. The
crew of the Inflated vessel are en-
camped ashore about three-fourths of
Il mile from the wreck. The disaster
occurred about A. NJ, Wednesday.
The vessel was on the way to Alaska
for six months cruise among the
islands from Wangel northward. Iii
thought that she put in to Saanich in
search for possible smugglers. The
vessel may possibly be saved, the rev.
enue cutter Rush having been sent to
to her aid. The Rush will then pro-
coed to southeastern Alaska, where she
will be stationed permanently to patrol
that coast. The Grant was an old
vessel, having been built in 1871, ut
Wilmington, Del. She had on board
at the time Of the accident Col. Clutch
cons, of the Treasury Department,
who was on tour OF inspection OF
Alaskan canneries, with view OF re.
porting data upon which to base sys-
tenn of taxation OF that industry for
public revenue.

A ug-Handled' BYLAW.

The " Big Five Mining Company"
corporation recently created at Ia
coma, are sending out pamphlets and
printed circulars describing their min
ing properties and inviting Investment
IN the same. The pamphlets are neat
~ printed and everything appears
lovely to the general reader until hc
comes to Article L. OF the BYLAWS.
This article is entitled, Inspection Of
Books and Accounts" and then the
prospective investor reads the follow
ing perpleXing paragraph:
" No stakeholder owning less than
hvc per cent. Of the capital stock OF this
corporation, unless said stakeholder
snail be a Director OF this corporation
shall be allowed to examine the books
and accounts Of this corporation, except
by resolution OF the Board OF Directors
Now the capital stock OF the concern
Is placed at 500, 900, divided into the
same number of shares OF the par
value OF one dollar each. Thus it APP
pears that none but the big toads in
the puddle, or those who have gobbled
up at least $4,000 worth of stock,
have any right to know the condition
OF the corporation at any time by an
examination OF its accounts. The
small stockholders seem to fill the
same category as the black man,
who Judge fancy once declared had
no rights which a white man was
bound to respect. Copies OF the COM
pany's pamphlet, circular and SUBJ
scription blank, have been courteously
laid upon our desk, but we shall waive
all action towards filling up the blank
and sending the cash to Mr.. Galbraith
till we see what may be the intent of
that tom-cat under the meal, Article

ut is a mistake to only advertise at in

His business name is not kept constant

a new advertiser every time. It is
profitable to cultivate among the peo-
pie the habit of lookin ing every day for
your announcement
