WORK SHUT DOWN
 0N ALICE MINES
Owing Dumping of 10000 Shares on Market Below Selling Fig
 ure--Work Shut Down.

\ caDlegram has been received here ordering the temporary clos ing down of development work on the property of the Alice Mines Co.,, Ltd.. situated on Shoup bay. The closing down is due tu a law suit between B. C.. Mathews, one of the prumoters of the company, and C. G. Van Hook, a Vancouver broker. who purchased a large block of the cnnlpany's stock from M. l.. McAlliStrr. one of the orig inal owners. and threw il upon the market at 10 cents a share. when the stock was selling at one dollar.
 The company was capitalized at S2O0, ,0O0, a very low figure, and i the breaking of the market Sug- gesI to the managers the adviS- ability of closing down until mat ters would adjust themselves.
 The Alice property is one of the most promising leads in this sec tion of the country and devclop- Ment has tended to show it's perm anency and that Inc values car ried with depth. A most complete plant for development purposes has been installed on the ground by which rapid hcadway was be- ing made in opening up the prop erty.
 The work has been in charge of w. J. Callaghan, most eXper- fenced miner, who has made good from the moment he took charge of the property. The work done is of a permanent nature, a double |compartment shaft having been sunk over 100 feet below sea level Recently MT. Cryl Bee, mining |expert, made thorough examina- tion of the property and pronoun- ced it one of the most prOmiS-
 ling prospects he had ever seen and said that the development work was just what it should be- corroborating Mr. Haagan, of Vancouver, who had previously examined the property. Its loca- tion is ideal, being situated on the waters edge in a protected cove where large vessels can approach close to shore. Those managing the affairs of the company are all we'll known and respected citizens of British Columbia. IL is sin cerely to be hoped that work will be resumed on these properties in the near future.

SPORTING DOPE FROM EVERYWHERE
Willard and RodeI In BurIesque-
Smith Shades Langford.

bout in Milwaukee last night turned
out as predicted. 1t was fine pulling
and hauling match between two
heavy, clumsy men, who did not
know what to do with their fists and
fell over their own feet.
Between each round the referee
begged the two giants to mix mat
tiers, but they stuck to their showing
tactics and neither was damaged.
Willard was grossly fat. Layers of
fat lay on him so thickly that his
flesh trembled and quivered every
time he moved around the ring.
RodeI tried to force the fighting
at times, but did not know how to
go about it. Whenever he became
aggressive Willard would extend his
long arms and his superior height
and reach kept the Boer at distance
throughout the 10 rounds.
The fans were disappointed. They
wanted action and didn't get it.
As a result of this flight" RodeI
and Willard will find it hard to make
the public take their championship
claims seriously. They did not even
perform like good recond-raters.
Gunboat Smith was given the de-
cision over Sam Langford at the end
of twelve rounds in Boston. Smith
forced the fighting during the early
stages, but was on the defensive in
the latter rounds. Spectators were
surprised when the decision was
given to Smith, as they thought
Langford had earned draw. Lang
ford was unmarked after the fight.
There was a feeling at the ringside
that the fighters we're not extending
themselves.
Ray Bronson, Young SayIor and
Eddie McGoorty sailed from San
Francisco yesterday for Australia,
where they will carry on a boxing
campaign that has been arranged for
them.

yesterday afternoon as manager of
the Brooklyn Nationals, and every
sport expert in the country is now
selecting a new pilot for the Dodgers.
Dahlen was forced out by the Nc
KeeyeP brothers, large stockholders
in the Brooklyn club. President Eb-
bets is a warm admirer of Dahlen
and held out for his retention, but the
opposition was too strong.
It was said to Ebbets that the fans.
would not support Dahlen and would
refuse to patronize the games if he
was left at the helm of the team.
Fielder Jones, former White Sox
leader, now president of the North
western League, has eliminated him
self as a candidate Fielder admits
talking with Ebbets about the man
agement of the Brooklyn club, but
adds that there apparently could be
no agreement on terms.
Jones wants a block of stock in

WIibert Robinson, old Baltimore
star, late tutor for Giant pitchers, is
another man prominently mentioned
for the position Robinson was re-
leased by McGraw a few days ago,
and it was rumored Robby and Mac
had squabbled after the worlds
series.
Robinson should certainly know
baseball. He has seen it progress and
learned his business with stars.
For time it was thought that, in .
the event Dahlen was fired, Manager
Smith of the Newark club, also own

take charge of the Dodgers. This
prospect has been eliminated by the
signing of Smith to manage Newark

 The number of smoking rooms now distributed over Windsor castle would considerably astonish Queen Victoria could she but see them Her late maj esty could never bring herself to do more than tolerate the weed in any form, and the smoking room was all ways relegated to very, distant part of her various residences. Nor were the guests permitted to solace them selves with a quiet smoke in their own apartments, as on their arrival they were specially warned not to do so.
 So great was her majesty's disap proval of the habit that when she first proposed to visit Sandringham after King Edward, who did not share his royal mothers objection to tobacco, to say the least of it, had practically re- built the house, a good deal of alarm was felt as to what she would say to the number of smoking rooms.

The effect of this can be seen today in the geese which are indigenous to the country, the Arsamas and the Tula varieties particularly showing to a marked de gree the fighting qualities of their ancestors. The ArSamas gander has a bill which is entirely different in form from that of the geese known in any other part of the world.
