ENGINEER HIKE CASE
SETTLED II VANCOUVER
Mr. .J. A. Fraser, gold commission
er of the Atlin district. was a re-'
turning paswugor on the I'riuceSB
Mice from Vancouver.
As administrator of the estate of
i lie late Captain Junius Alexander
:iiid the late Ulan I Smith, Mr. Fra
ser was called to Vancouver as de
fendant in the action of the Kngin
eer Mining company versus himself
and Mrs. Louisa /hampaii Smith.
Mrs. Veda M Smith and < "uarlCS C
Smith, with reaped to the KiiRineer
mine, in which > don the said En
gineer Mining company sought to
have the crown grunts issued to the
said Captain Alexander and others
set aside and a declaration from the
court vest'ng said property in the
that ci rtaiti slot'*..differs in said
company were outers at one time
of mineral clal:-s i 'verbis the same
ground. .Notwithstanding the fact
that said part i s. a- well as the
aliove named ce-- . at»•• had abandon
ed said claim* ago by
allowing their F e .Miners' certifi
cates to elapse or in other ways.
The act on was set down for trial
on the tifth lust. Mr. Justice Cleni
cuts, before whom said trial "'as
held, dismissed the action with costs
against the plaintiffs. His Lordship
arrived at this decision after hear
ing the evidence and argument pre
sented hy the plaintiff's counsel
without hearing any evidence for
the defense except such documentary
evidence as was presented, and a
brief argument hy the defendants'
counsel.
The plaintiff's asked for leave to
appeal from this decision to the
Court of Appeals of Itritish Colum
bia. which whs granted and they
have until the fourth of January J
next to perfect their appeal.
Should the said plaintiff's avail
themselves of this privilege it will
probably delay the development of
the property for a few months long
er. hut it is generally anticipated
that any such appeal will lie dealt
with in the same manner as was the
orii i 11.11 action, in which event it is
• x pec ted that this famous property
will lie placed In the hands of pow
erful interests for active develop
ment in the near future.
This decision will doubtless he a
matter of satisfaction to many peo- j
pie throughout this northern terri
tory, since the operation of
the Engineer mine will assuredly
give a great impetus to the devel
opment of the Atlin district and con
tiguous mineral zones of acknowl
edged merit.
DIAMOND IN CHICKEN'S CRAW
The farmer's wives nowadays

"You certainly have," said her

"In half? What do you mean?"
"I mean that be takes two girls ont

The canny manager of a Times
Square ilruc store has hit upon a plan
to get business In tills hut weather,
trade which ordinarily was lust, ae- i
cording to the New York Sim. l'.y the
simple plan of installing h battery of
electric fans near every telephone
liooth he claims he has heen able to
keep the store's business up to the !
level of the cooler month*. As he puts
It:
"When I saw people leave the booths
after a hot session of telephoning an I
rush to the street for air, 1 founil I lost"
business. It was a case of complying
with the cardinal principles of busi
ness: 'Never let them get away with
out buying something.'
"Most stores have their phones situ
ated 1l the closest part of their inte
riors. Artificial air lo cool them off
has been an excellent method of per
suading them to stay after they make
their calls In coolness and comfort.
The Idea paid for itself the tir~t three
hours of operation on one of the hot
test of recent days."
