VoL. IL. SATURDAY, JUNE 28, 1913. No. 48,

The Omineca Miner has the largest bona lidd circulation of any newapaper in the
Northern Interior of British Columbia.

Hazelton’s Dominion Day celebration will be, in ali probability,
the best of the many similar events which have taken place here.
IL will alford indisputable evidence, to the large crowd of visitors
which will attend, that Hazelton jis not only still on the map, but
that it is by far the liveliest town in the Northern Interior.
A capable committee has matle adequate arrangements for the

entertainment of all who come to town, and the program of games

and sports provides something of
and evening. The people of the

intereat for every hour of the day
town will welcome all visitors,

from near and far, and wil! do their best to make the day an

enjoyable one.

Naval Emergency

St. John, N.B. dune 23 :--
“Battleships of the dreadnought
class cannot be built in Canada
for upwards of twenty-five
years,’’ said T. J. Drummond of
the Canada Iron Corporation,
who arrived in the city yester-
day, ‘‘Ittook the Japanese ful-
ly that length of time, while I
understand the plans for the
battleshios of the United States
navy were loaned to that country
by Great Britain.

“There ig an emergency, and
it isof vilal necessity that the
$35,000,000 be paid to the mother
country,

“Tf we cannot pay our fare we
had better get off the car,” said
Mr. Drummond,

“Those who say that shipbuild-
ing yards which could aceommo-
date a dreadnought could be
erected in Canada in two and a
half or three year's do not know
what they are talking about, In
the first place the plans would
have to be borrowed from Eng-
land, together with the naval
architects and skilled workmen,
and then it would take years be-
fore the ships could be built on a
sound business basis.

“The initial cost of the plant
would be enormous, and
only after it was completed could
small eruisers and merchant
steamers be built, although even
this effort would prove difficult.

“It ig net small ships that
Engiand needs at present, how-
ever, but dreadnoughts, or the
money to build them.”?

The Road Question

Foreman Schooling and his
road crew are drawing nearer ta
Smithers. They have effected a
great improvement in the read
between Teikwa and the town.
There is pressing need for re-
pairs on the road west of §mith-
ers, but itis unlikely the funds
at present available will suffice
todo anything on that section.
An effort is being made tosecure
a special appropriation for the
work, and it is the hopeof every-
one interested in the district that
the money will be forthcoming.
--The Review,

A “Midsummer Yarn

Fresno, June 20.—Fred Wil-
liams, a farmer of McFarland,
near Bakersfield, brought to Fres-
no today for the purpege of hav-
ing it assayed a chunk from a
meteor, which he says he discov-|
ered on his ranch, ata depth of
sixteen feet, while digging al
well.

The chunk has the appearance!

of solid gold. Williams was un-
able to find an assayer but took
the chunk to a number of lecal
jewelers,
erystalized gold.

Williams says the mass must
weigh at least twenty tons. It
is-only about an inch and a half
thick.

Following the declarations of
ithe jewelers, Williams is now
janxious to secure a verdict from
an assayer as to the value of this
sample of the meteor,

Discussing the find today, the
farmer stated that he would re-
tire on his means should it be
found that the rest of this gi-
gantic meteor was all crystalized
gold and of considerable value.

In the meantime Williams’ wife
is guarding the homestead and
the twenty ton meteor, although

by any sneak thief.

Telkwa Celebration

AtTelkwa on Dominion Day
there will be a good program of
sports, and the town at the june-
tion of the rivers should draw a
large number of visitors, The
baseball team will be in Hazelton
but as the Hazelton and New
Hazelton teams are scheduled ta
play at Telkwa during the fall
fair, the people of the latter
town are not grumbling over the
arrangement. ---The Review,
