CANADIAN PACIFIC
F. FAST EXPRESS
HELD UP
SIX MASKED BANDITS BOARD
WEsTBouND EXPRESS BUT
GET NO BOOTY.

Vancouver, B. G., June %. - Six
masked men, armed with revolvers
and rifles, held up the Canadian Pa
cific Westbound express, No. 81, near
Ducks, about midnight, searched three
express cars and, failing to find any
thing of value, escaped across Schu-
swap lake in a skiff. A posse is in
pursuit.
According to members of the train
crew two men craWled over the coal
pile on the locomtive and at the
points of their pistols compelled the
engineer to stop when he saw a signal
fire, near Ducks. AT this point four
other robbers boarded the engine,
Each carried a rifle and two shots
We're fired in the air to impress the
railroad men
The leader of the band forced the
fireman to take an ak and break in
the panels along the sides of the ex-
press cars. This failing to reveal any
booty, the robbers backed away to-
ward the lake, where they escaped in
their boat.
Just ahead of No. 81 was the st.
Paul express, which had picked up
a quantity of silver bullion, and the
authorities say that this was the in
centive for the holdup.

fense alleges; employees of Castle

NAVAL CONDITIONS
" ARE ROUNDLY
CONDEMNED N
SPECIAL COMMISSION DECLARES
THAT ASTOUNDING coNDi-
TloNs EXIST IN NAVY.

Paris, June %. - The report of the
parliamentary commission which in
vestigated the naval scandals in
France has been turned in. 1t is a
scathing condemnation of the naval
administration for the last 10 years
and it makes an astounding exposure
of the deplorabe condition of the fleet
for which France has spent $7O0,OO0,-
600 since 1899.
The $50 pages of the report are
filled with details of the ineffeency
resulting from confusion and red
tape, conditions that make French
naval construction cost 25 per cent
more than English or German. AS an
evidence of these methods, it is
pointed out that the manufacture of
cast iron shells of large calibre con-
demned after the accident to the bat
teship Iona contained in arger guam
titles than ever for two years. The
Patrie, the Republique and other
ships of this class We're found
equipped with secondary guns of a
model of 1885 instead of 1902, as the
specifications required.

Holy Moses Cleanup.

This week the Holy Moses mill made a cleanup of few days run that net ted bar of bullion weighing 500S. The mill was run but one hour a day, about a ton of ore being run through in that time, water for the short run coming from the shaft curing the day and husbanded in small tanks. A. L.. McKesson, owner of the mine and plant, reports that the ores plated up to a high percentage of their value, the gold being heavy and free. L.. Hoffman has bonded the property and is sinking the shaft to depth of POO feet. While sinking is in progress he intends to run the mill and test out the ores throughout the group of claims and especially the Holy Moses. The vein at a depth of 65 feet was found to be five feet in width, having widened rapidly from the surface. The ore milled gave battery sample of about 35S per ton.
