Gold Too Nice to Spend.

Henceforth the Panama canal com
mission will pay all laborers in silver.
It seems that simultaneously with the
previous decision to pay the men in
gold, the mortality among the West
Indian laborers increased consider
ably, and rumor has it that in many
instances the negroes have preferred
practically to starve than to spend the
gold coin, little of which they had
ever before seen.

London.-Owing to premature state
ments regarding the will of the late
Alfred Belt, the South African million
aire, the executor of Mr. Belts estate
have given out the exact terms of the
public bequest, without, however, dis
closing the amount of the fortune left,

siderable time to estimate, owing to
the fluctuations in the price of shares
owned by Mr.. Belt He is said to have
left $125,OO0,000
The sums enumerated reach the
vast total of $9,675OOO, not ineluulng
the value of the estate bequeathed to
his native city of Hamburg, or the art
treasures bestowed on the national
gallery and the museums of London
and Hamburg. It is, however, believ-
ed that the aggregate will be not far
short of $12,5OO,OOO.
Trustees to Handle 100000.
The most notable provision of the
will is that body of trustees get con-
troll of $6.000,000 to be used in the de
velopment and construction of means
Of communication, transmission by

chance to escape. A much more hor-

capped by the fact that the cars left
the track when they did instead of
plunging into the river, only a few
feet further on.

Rossland and Northport to attend the
injured, all of whom were moved to
Nelson with all possible haste, The

Cannot Get Men to Garry Brick
Ou Madison Avenue Paving
Job Today.
TROUBLES NUMEROUS.

The Jersey Paving Company are
again in trouble. Ever since they
started the work on Madison avenue
all kinds of difficulties were continu-
ally coming up. This morning work
is completely held up. John Hurt,
the colored brick layer, who is in
charge of this part of the work, said
this morning that he could not get
men to carry brick. He has four
brick layers on hand, but after scour-
ing the town this morning was una
BILE to get men to work.
The Jersey Paving Company pays
good wages, but the foreign element
seem to prefer other places to toll.
The same trouble was experienced
when the sewer was being laid. The
company will probably get men from
out of town, as the expiration of the
time limit is near at hand and the
street must be finished.
