Victor, Col.»., Feb. 24.—Cripple Creek ia In a state of terror <»wlng to a preconcerted attack npon all the leading essay offices doing business in the busi- i i ss districts. it«*gilining at 3 o’clock this morning and following in rapid sue cession six explosir.ns wrecked as many assay offices in the e»*ntr«?s, ranging from Victor ti» Cripide Creek and up to the gold fields. In every instance the object sought by the inc«*ndiarivs was ««*« omplish.-d by the destruction of the office with their «-qnipnient of delicate* bnlsncew. The raiders did not hesitate to jeopardire lif«- as all but one of tho building* was occupied by s|e»>ping families. As it was. men, worn»*»» nud children were hurled out of their boils by the shocks, and serious Injuries inflicted.

Th*» full extent of the «lamage d«>ne cannot be estimated, lu this city the Dsvei»|s>rt ofllc-• was wrecked by two explosion*, involving a loss of $1,201). Almost at the same time the assay offices of » an Waiter. Swan and Williams were treated likewise*. The loss was ap- pn.ximutcly as large as Davenisirt’s. One man, a miner, was severely injured in the cxplosiou at Wilbams s office. He was passing at the moment of the explosion. Flying debris struck him In the face, gashing hia eyte and may result in total hlindneas.

hi ‘Otpptv Od, Benjamin's assay offl. •> north **f tin* Florence and <'ripple <*r« - k depot, was Qtown up. In the town of Goldfield, about n mile and a half- north, almost simultaneously, Boyce’s office and another assay establishment were wrecked. Boyce’» family oerttpie<i an adjoining mom bnt «*♦*«• aped withiHit fatal injury. The general Impression here this morning ia that the nets arc the result of a general movement to rid the district of all high grade on* pun basing institntiofis. Bloodhounds from Canon City have been called tor.

For years there baa l*eu systematic stealing of rich ore from the mines, amounting to thousand* of dollars monthly. -Tt fir alleged that more than fifty assaycm in the <listri« t have mad»» a Imslness of buying such on*. Recently the Mine Owner*’ associatiop discovered thst shipments of high grade ore bad hern made by arsayers frxnu this district to smelters at Ran Tixnctan» and Salt Loke, bnt all efforta to atop the traffic were unavailing.

It la perfectly plain that the Britiah preference has reduced the dutic# on certain Import* by one-third.

When Mr. Brown's aereasion to the <•«binet was suggested he had agreed to sup|K«rt him and the administration, and he lutendeU to do so. lie eoiiMdcred that last session It was a fortunate thing for the lountry that the Dunsmuir government was in power, and that a much worse state of affairs would have obtained bad they been defeated.

In the House yesterday the ex-leader of the oppoHition denied that the above, correctly expressed his opiulons and that he had ever read the interview a* it appeared, In this respect the honorable gentleman's memory la somewhat at fault. He secured • copy of the Times OB- the evening of the 5th of September, afld it would be an extraordinary thing indvod if he did not ro*d that interview, aud it would, be more extraordinary atUL it, haring read It. be did not repudiate the statement* therein contained when they referred to a matter of so much importance to him aa a public man. It Is

very extraordinary that it Is only now when circumstances have arisen not at all to the liking of the honorable gentleman, when he finds himself merely a supporter of what might lie termed a weak and impotent administration, with no prospect of being called epon as leader In gatceation to It when the p*ych<v logical iiomeet arrive*, that be take* the dpportuuity of foevcnk-ntl/ repudiat- lug |he whole thing. But that interview

the mo*t were some tiaherwomeii who came down from a cluster of tiny hamlets down the roast.

“I noticed these women at the temple several times, but there were never any men, with them. Women from other places came with their husbands. These women didn't, but they had (hildivn who called them mamma.' so I knew there must lie husband* somewhere. I couldn't understand why then* were no men with them, i

“One evening, aw my greatest friend among the priest* sat with me enjoying a feast offered up that day to the astral liody of the dead headsmith of tho village. I learned the reason.

“My friend was born In one of these hfimlet*. and would have been there yet If hi* mother hadn't said that he 1 should be a priest. His mother, mind )ofi, not his father. That wounded strange, for I had been In the country wo long that I had forgotten that women had a word to say.

“ ‘Yew,* my friend went on, aa he rubbed hi* hand over his shaven polt *it was a good thing tor me, because a man doesn’t have a good time down there. He has to stay , in the bouée to keep thing* clean and to do the cooking. That ii because ho can't swim. At least, he can't swim aw well as a woman. My mother can swim two days in th* besy season and not be used up, but my fa ther would be tired out If he stayed in thtNwratcr six hour».'

“ ‘That's the way the women earn living,' added the priest. 'If none of then* people could swim they would have to gw some when» else, for there la no other work to do there. These shell fish that you like so well,* he said, picking ep a portion of the offering to the augiiat departed, ‘come from there. They i« re difficult . tcc/get.

Front a return lately laid before the Itiichstag it appears that last year 1,- 645.846 young men became nominally available for service in the forces of the German Empire. From this number, however, large deductions had to be ma<h*; 135.168 men had emigrated without toare, and R7.81D were alisent without leave Drum other causes; 578,796 were set back for a year. 25.173 had entered the army, and 1.200 the navy a* volunteers, 82.116 were detailed for Ersat* Reserve, others were found méd

cause temporary embarrassment to the large numlier of big estabiishmeute which have on hand a considérante quantity of stock imported under the «dit tariff, bait this will probably be disposed of by the time navigation opens, and the ccnipctitor» will then be all on thv same iiiihi*. .

Mr. Ella, saya that business was, *f anything, quieter in Daweou last year than during the preceding twelve months. The winter is especially so, but with the return of those who have left te spend this season in other clime*, he anticipate* a general commercial revival. He is forcibly impressed by the fact that there me few indeed who leave Dawson on these winter Soars to the south who do not return. The country appeerad to bold for them some subtle fascination and no matter where they are, they invariably turn their faces to the north when they are surfeited with all that the “<-utsiüe eivilisatiou" ha* to offer.

He in of the' opinion that navigation will be open earlier thi* year than before. The snow-fall has not been ns heavy a* in previous years, while the comparatively alight amount of ice on I-a Barge this year presage» mi early opening. For instaure: test *ye*e- it is understood thv ice measured 3 feet H inches on this lake. Thi* year the measurements, Mr. Ella said, show only twenty inches. The river is also open rat a numls-r of places. Iaiw water is anticipated next spring, a* there is not so mmii ine as in other years. Consequently the volume of water when it thaw* will lw Jess.

The municipal election* which took place at Dawson recently, Mr. Ella says, were quite tropteal. Ttie excitement wa* Intense, ami although he left there several days before the polling, he was there In the midst of the preceding campaign*. Allens were not allowed to tote in these elect inn*.

Mr. Ella tpcak* highly on the moral tone of the Klondike capital. Gambling has been shut down, while all the churches have large emigregâtions. A new 1‘rvsbyterian chureh has been erected during the year, .while the Methodists have also a new édifiée. The Church of Engluud urgently requires another building, as the present structure is wholly Ircdequate for the large uumbt r who *t- terd.

Such vegetal les as toruips. cabbages and radishes rre grown to a considerable extent, living superior lu sise and quality to those pi educed here.

Prophesied—Warning to Shipping Men.

At the meeting of the board of trade last week the matter Of the development of Vancouver Island The tui tubers present agreed that it was most imiKirtaut thlut the people of X b- t.wia should interest themselves more in the development of the Island, especially that |mn south of Comox. I «•»* puble- generally do not seem to apprec iate the , import a mx» of a greater cultivation of the Mount KlcKôf and «thee Maud A l U

t X ictoiian point of view. I* - j vel**puient V» date lias demonstrated that the mining camps reasonably adjacent to X'ietoriu are well worth taking aft interest in, and if not atiowrtl V» be entirely controlled by «mtstâe eajdta'- i»t« will do much in making Victoria a great city.

Henry Croft. M. E„ to whose effort* 4i chiefly due tho making of Mount Sicker an important mining district, was s en by a '1 hue* representative to-day and asked for an expresdou of opinion regarding bow X'ictoria ccnild secure the , greatest advantage from the exploitation of tjn- Mount Suker mines.

Mr, Croft said: -The fact that Victoria us at the present time had seen til t** invest in distant fields was brought up at the recent meeting of the X ictoria j Board of Trade, and the general impie*- j ,.Mh was that it would lw far mor'* t.» j lhc advantage of the p«*ople of X ivtoria. j «.specially its me rehauts, if they were to j vxert tin ir «ut-rgies in building up that | part of X'a lie tmver Island, which, if j developed, would lx* controlled by X ic- j toriana beyond doubt. Some few years , Ago, when the nduiug boom was on in British Columbia, t>eople were only too anxlou* to invest in cheap stock of mining companies owning the properties of which vvfy little was known.

The Mount Sitkvr distilvt is an it- :. j j i ! • ■ ,.f a ramp which has, with hardly

j- i , xc *ption, I** < ii brought to lia present of <lev« lopment without any stock

t-eing sold in the local market. This, t *A great extent, inx-urs also on the West Coast of the Island, which has been, with only one or two exceptions, developed with American capital.. ’’Thti* irinyjpal work in the Mount Sicker district has Is-en doue by the Ignora Company. oT which no stock i* c i the market. The Tyee Company, of which nearly all the atock is owned in England, has got its development money there. The capital of the Mount.Sicker

B. C. Company is chiefly from (lias g,,w. Tho Mount Sicker «fc Brvntou Mines Company, owning the Copi**r Canyon group, ami others has been to dite principally developed by ofte man. Only a few shares of the Tyee A Mount Sii-L< r Company are on the market. Notts of the Lenoru Company sliaie* are j for sale, and the Mount Sicker & Bren- | ton Company aro practically the only j lo v prktt shore* oa the market.

•*i seems surprising to me Unit , th- , phares of these «-oiupanies. except the |I .eu ora, which has no shares for sab*, j are not purchased more by X’ictorians, it* investment in the shares would tend to increase the development of- the mines r.t .Molirt Sicker, m il therefore the lmsi- ir.vos of X’irtorii merc hants, and whilst :r nmnbrr of per pie are willing to invest

"î » -shares: my trd not rftW* fif jTimdlff*;*1. iwpl ct *.

“The Americans are gradually getting control of the mines on the Island, and V- MM-uis to nu* a great waul of couti- deuce in their own resources that prv- j t *nts Victorians taking the l:»a<k instead of allowing the Americans to oust them out of the j'CmltiouM which really i:: \ theirs by heritage.

“Tletc '»* no dotiiit.that a uunilxT of v ilmtb:<- pr< pc rtics in the Mount Sicker district nix* kept in an imdvv.eloiied state by r a-on. of the present mining lews which, allow any jierson to h«dd mining claim* in perpetuity after being C own granted by paying the present tax c • *. "» cents mi acre js-r mum in, .

* I know of two lots of claims, aggregating nearly l.HHi acres in Mount Kicker distri* t, which are owned by two tv, ndi.'-ntvs; harclly any work has been c’f’tv* on tin * •. and if the act was < '• i.geil so t!*at people could not I t t ainia Il<* idle .after being Crown vrant- v'l, I feel si;re that there would 1h* p *o- |d» who would lw only tes» glad to ite- vvlot* them if. they could se-.ure •them by without having to pave •orbitai»l prices to the present ow iters,'*M \ Croft concluded.
