Profs. King and Mcdonald, who

enthusiastic when speaking of the
cordial reception the party had re.
ceived everywhere, and both con-
fidently bespeak a grand future for
the gold mining industry in Fergus
county.
Prof. King said, THE mines are
greatly beyond my anticipations;
they are enormous. One must see
them to appreciate them. 1t makes
a man feel like he wants to come
back and see them again" Professor
Mcdonald spoke of them in the same
vein and also stated that to the class
the visit was most instructive and
beneficial. The president of the
class, Mr.. p. l.. Pauly, of Butte, speak
ing for the class, said that they had
all enjoyed the trip to the great gold
mines of this county, the largest gold
mines any of them had ever seen, and
the material benefit to the class was
indeed most valuable. "All the boys
are enthusiastic over our pleasant
and instructive visit here" said Mr..
Pauly, land we hope to come again."

CONSERVATIVES HOLD SEAT
Liberal Candidate Defeated in English
Bye-EIection, but by Re-
duced Majority.

LONDON, March 27.-The Chertzy divi-
sion of Surrey, a conservative stronghold,
has been retained by the unionists as the
result of a bye-election held yesterday for
o successor In Parliament to II. c. Lee
Bennett, deceased J. A. Filler. conservative,
having defeated H. H. Longman, liberal, by
i.1s0. But as this is only about half the
majority obtained by the conservatives at
the last election, the opposition Is fully en-
titled TO consider the result as being an
other blow to the government.
Mr.. Longman, who Is home ruler, was
deprived of a considerable number Of the
nonconformist vote as a result Of the recent
manifsto issued by r. w. Perks, liberal,
who practically controls the nonconformist
vote in England. declaring that the liberal
leaders must choose between the Irish or
nonconformist alliance because Of the ac-
tion Of the Catholic Irishmep In helping
the government to pass the recent educa-
tion bill in the face Of violent noncon-
formist protests.
The campaign throughout was exciting.
1t was known as the motor car election" p"
Automobiles had never before played so
great a part In an English election. Pre-
mier Balfour, Lord Rothschild and other
prominent persons lent their cars for the
occasion.
