possibility that poison

A possibility that poison might have been a contribut- ing factor in the demise of Mrs. Margaret Lobley on the Hyder-Stewart road last week, led the Canadian authorities to hold an autopsy Saturday. The examination is said to ahve disclosed no definite indi- cation that the deceased met her earthly end in that man. ner. Death was apparently due to a form of kidney disease, although the stomach and other internal organs were found in a bad state. The find ings, however, were not con- sidered conclusive evidence of the cause of death and the contents of the stomach and other viscera were sent to Vancouver for laboratory ex- animation.

FUTURE OF B. C. SILVER
 CONSIDERED ASSURED

That the future of the B. c. Silver as a producing mine is practically assured as result of the recent discovery of a huge body of high grade ore on the 700-foot level, is the outstanding feature of a state ment issued recently by the board of directors of the B. C. Silver Mines to the company shareholders.
 This communication, signed by H. A. Gould, secretary, says:
 "I am instructed by the Board to inform you that we have drifted a further 30 feet in northeasterly direction on the ore-body recently disclosed in our No. 3 level, and that the average value of the ore en- countered for this distance is approximately $200 per ton over a width of four and half feet. The ore in the drift is continuing" It will be re- membered that in a previous announcement it was stated that the first 80 feet of the drift averaged $50 per ton for its full nine feet, with values running up to $150 per ton. This probably is the most i'm portant development that has been done in the district out side of that done in the Pre- mier mine, and it practically assures the development of another important producing mine. on the famous Premier ore zone. The new ore-shoot is situated in the center of B. c. Silver's territory, to the north of the Premier mine, and it has been opened in No. 3 level at a depth of approximately 700 feet. A considerable amount of equipment will be needed before the mine be- comes a steady producer, though, of course, the high grade ore will be sacked and shipped as it is mined. Some form of transportation will be required to move the ore to tide-water, as the Premier company pretty we'll demon strated that the winter snows in that district could not be trusted as a medium over which to ship ore; a concen- trating-cyanide plant will be needed, too, to take care of the medium and low grades of ore which will be mined with the high-grade ore. The company, however, has strong financial backing behind it, and without doubt the necessary equip ment will be provided as soon as a sufficient body of ore has been developed to warrant it. Diamond drilling has indicated that the ore-shoot is 250 feet long, so that the continuation of the level will be watched with keen interest.

WOMEN FACING
 CHARGE OF MURDER

silence regarding the events
 leading up to the mysterious
 staying of James N. Donald in Stewart on the night of Janu-
 ary first, Gladys Gale and
 Ruby Dolan, in whose cabin the tragedy occurred, were
 committed for trial before the spring assizes at Prince Ruper.
 at a preliminary hearing held at Stewart last week. Evidence
 induced by the Crown repre- scented by Police Inspector William Spiller, of Prince Ru-
 pert, was substantially the same as presented at the Cor oncr's inquest and threw but little additional light on the tragedy which plotted out the life of the we'll known miner. Statements eicited by Russe, W. Kennedy, attorney for the accused women, during the examination of Charles Bibeau chief witness for the Crown disclosed that Bibeau had al the request of the Dolan wom. an interceded in a quarrel be tween Ruby Gale and Donald, during which the deceased hat threatened the former with bodily harm. This had occurred several weeks ago. Questioned further by MT. Kennedy, the witness expressed the belief that Donald was in a dangel
 ous mood at the time. He also said that Donald was normal ly a fine man but was very troublesome at times. Mir Ken nedy also secured statements from Mrs. Constable Islip and Coroner Whillans tending to show the development ot bruises upon the body of Ruby Dolan since her arrest. Both acknowledged having seen such marks. Dr. Whillans eA. pressed the view that bruises and scratches he had seer were of recent origin. Mrs, Islip testified she had seen a mark developing on the won. ans arm several days after she was taken into custody. No at tempt was made by the de- fense to attribute the marks to violence on the part of Don aid. A further peculiar turn was given to the case by 6 statement made by Sergean, A. McNeill of the Provincla. Police, who came over from Prince Rupert with Inspector Spiller, to the effect that ns had searched the premises where the shooting occurred and had found a sealed envei- op containing a card signed py Ruby Dolan and bearing ;. statement which indicated that she had feared possible vio- lence at the hands of two un- named parties. The statement asserted that she had beeh threatened by two parties whose names were known only to Gladys Gale and and also instructed the latter to notify certain relatives of the writer, in case she died other than a "a natural death"
 At the conclusion of the hearing Magistrate Scarlett- bound the two women over to the higher court, stating that he was left no other alternat- i've in view of the failure of the

man, instead Of Disgusting defects,
goes about systematically to i'm

reach as nearly as possible per-

Many women worry excessively.
in these days of short skirts and

ercises that help to slenderize legs
and make their fIabby muscles

must be accompanied by sensible
care to avoid fattening foods. or
they are not likely to accomplish
much.
A simple but effective exercise
to slenderize the legs is rocking

ticed many times a day.
Needless to say. 1t must be

Another excellent exercise for
