MANITOBA GOLD
FIND Was FAKE
Experienced Miners Who
Went to New Eldorado
Fail to Get Results

Dauphin. Man, Jan. 29-Someone
has stuck pin In the Minitonas gold
bubble, For days past miners from ali
parts Of the country have been pour.
ing into the district not only get-rich.
quick innocents. but experienced
gold rushes.
After the excitement of stalking
claims had somewhat abated the old
what they had drawn in the feverish
land grab. Few If any have to date
found any gold worth mentioning
Someone began to air his suspicion
that everything was not 20. K" His
ideas found ready echo In the minds
of veterans of the shovel and dish who
had searched vainly for the coveted
metal.
The ultimate result of the whole
business is that last night the miners
called meeting and endeavored to
thresh the matter out to It's logical
conclusion. The result of the thresh-
ing was that suspicion was raised
that someone had been boosting fake
gold find and threats of vengeance
towards the party were freely made.
Some of the men pointed out that tn
early reports were probably founded
on the investigations of alleged min
ing experts.
Finally committee was appointed
to trace the matter to its source and
report to the rest of the gold seekers
tonight. The train east from Mini
tomas this morning brought many of
the gold seekers back to Dauphin.
and many went through to their homes
in the cities or towns of the east and
the states. their visions of a golden
reward for their enterprise going out
in the smoke thnt curled out behind
the train from the painting locomo-
tive. They report that the majority
of the gold seekers at Minitonas have
not even troubled to stake their claims
and 1t will likely be only matter of
days before the rush has fizzled out
like fat soda
J. Sveinson of Winnipeg is one of
the returning of the Minitonas gold
association, unlimite1. He was accom-
panied by T. II. johnson and ]. Egger-
son. also of Winnipeg.
Nothing in Find
According to Mr.. Sveinson there is
absolutely nothing in the alleged find
and he has already warned several
western bound prospectors that their
journey will be for naught. Despite
all warnings, however, many will con-
tinue their journey on tonight's train
to Minitonas If only to "be in at the
finish" There is little doubt, however,
that the rush will break up at once.
for the stories are too convincing to
permit OF denial.

ians from all parts of the country for

'ormal protest against the bill will be
made. 80,
The objections Of Ulster have been
set forth by the Right Honorable
Thomas Sinclair. .one of the leading
merchants Of Belfast. a former liberal
who left that party upon the introduce
ton Of Mr.. Gladstone's first home rule
bill in 1886 and since has been leader
Of the anti-home rulers. There are
many objections to the measure. he
said. but among the chief Of them is
that it would lessen the status of the
citizenship of fisherman. Under the
union they had the same civic status
as resident of England the same
resentatton in parliament and enjoyed
the benefits Of its legislation. To de-
prive them Of this would be an un,
warrantable degradation Of their citi-
zenship. especially as their forefathers
were sent to Ulster 300 years ago by
the state for the purpose Of assisting
to hold their yalty. Ireland for the
Britih. nation.
There was no doubt, too. he added,
that civil strife, and disorder would
follow the esta blishment of home rule
and would plunge the manufacturers
and commerce into serious disaster.
The same result would be produced
by the insolvency Of home rule gov
ernment, for the resources of Ireland
would fall several million below the
sum necessary to run the government.
and 1t was scarcely conceivable that
England would make up the de-
f1ciency.
Then there was the religious aspect
Of the case. Ulster union:sts consider
that any safeguards against national
injutice would not be worth the paper
they were written on. Unionist lcgis-
lation, Sir Thomas continued, had
advanced the prosperity of Ireland Ivy
leaps and bounds as evidenced by the
trade figures which reached in ex-
ports and imports in 1910 the sum OF
$3.50. 100000 probably the greatest PEI
head Of population Of any country In
Europe. Home rule would undoubted.
ly set this prosperity back, If 1t did
not entirely ruin the Industries which
Ireland had to thank f,r her present
