Victoria, B. c., Feb. 24.-The court of
appeals, consisting of Judges Irving,
Moreyson and Clement, this afternoon
upheld the decision of Chief Justice
Hunter that the Natal act passed by
the British Columbia government was
imperative as far as japanese were
concerned, because of the treaty exist
ing between Japan and Great Britain
and made applicable to Canada by n
Dominion act of parliament. The Judges
OF the appeal court rendered the de-
clsion after hearing the argument of
robert Cassidy, appearing on behalf
or the province of British Columbia.
without calling upon the counsel for
the Dominion government to make an
argument. The judges stated that
reasons for their decision would be
gwen tomorrow. Mr.. Cassidy argued
that the Dominion government not
having the power to make a treaty in
dependently, had not the power To
sanction the Anglo-Japanese or any
treaty.
1t has been practically decided. un-
less the Dominion government orders
otherwise by telegram. that the 200
Hlndus expected to arrive tomorrow on
me steamer Monteagle will be ordered
deported by the federal immigration

provides that immigrants who do not

But little interest was taken in the cleo
ton. The day was somewhat enlivened
by the running of number of automO-
biles to haul voters to the polls. High

ing votes in favor of the bonds. During
the past few days a strong opposition
arose against the movement although
majority of the larger property holders
favored it,
The lightest vote was cast in the Sec
Ond ward, where the official count showed
but 112 persons had visited the poles
during the day. Aside from the tie in this
ward, the closest vote was in the Fourth.

J. D. Templeman had his leg broken and otherwise injured in the collision of two motor cars, near Hancock, last Sunday. The cars were in charge of Roadmaster Hendren and Water Ser vice Inspector Woods, who were on their way to Goldhat to inspect a small washout. Woods stopped his car suddenly to inspect piece of road when the rear car drove into it while running at high rate of speed. Tem- pleman was on the Woods car and was thrown to the ground and his leg broken above the ankle. The others were somewhat shaken up but escaped serious injuries. Templeman was at once taken to Kingman, where doc tor reduced the fracture and he is now getting along nicely.
 J. A. Carrow this week brought up from his ranch on the Big Sandy a load of peaches that for size, beauty dlu luSClOuS udNOI WcES lar dDedu OI anything ever brought to Kingman.

Big Returns From Mines.

For sixty metal mines and works in the United States to pay dividends amounting to the large total of 24,- S94,34l$ for seven months this year a period of low prices and curtailed con- sumption-is indisputable testimony of the extraordinary profits that are be. ing earned in the great mineral in- dustry. By careful tabulation, the Mining World has ascertained that these sixty corporations with capitali- zations varying from l00,000$ to lOO,- 0O,O0OS, have since thelr organization distributed dividends among their numerous shareholders to the enor- nous total of 4S3, ,O56,O ,O7SS. On the is. sued capitalization of 39S, ,4Sl, ,63O$ the dividends paid thus far show a return of l2l per cent, which may rightly be called the magnet that has attracted so many investors in mining and metallurgical shares.
 Besides the large dividends declared by the mines and works, there is being distributed at regular intervals vast profits by corporations whose revenue is obtained chiefly from the securities which they own in operating mines and works. For instance, during the first seven months this year five of these securities holding corporations paid dividends to their widely scatter- ed shareholders amounting to 4,O52,- 23O. Since their organization these five securities holding corporations have declared in dividends no less than "A, 4,2O2, ,6S9S, which is equivalent to return of over 30 per cent on the outstanding share-capital on 241, ,466,- OOOS.
