Cobalt, OUnt., Feb, 25.--A diamand drill working on north half of the north-west quarter of the north half of lot 3, concession 6, ( lamin, abut ting the Silver Bird mine, has struck two veins four and five inches wide, showing high value in silver and co- balt.

The strike was made near the east end of the property and within sikty feet of the west line of Silver Bird. A shaft is now being sunk "to catch these veins.

Jt is rumored that there is soon to be a big advance in Silver Bird. Gave Him An Oil Bainting.

Private houses, work- ae among shops, factories, farms were plundered in turn by © these modern rigands. At the same time the police were in formed of several murders and at- tempted murders committed with the purpose of robbery Yad Abel Pollet, the leader of the gang, has a sensational record of crime. As a boy he secured the place of honor among a number of candidatés pre- pared for their first communion, but sold it to the son of a pork Butcher for 810, and a suit. of clothes. He followed this up by slipping away from the party of communicants and robbing the till of a tradeswoman who was present at the ceremony.

The Labor Bill-Doukhobors and Homestead Duties. From Our Own Correspondent. Ottawa, ch 2.-The Commons spent yesterday in further discussion of the Lemieux labour bill, the mat ter of chief intérest being the ques tion whether men should be entitled to 'strike before the decision of a board of arbitration had been arhived at, and received, 'the tofusal of the Doukhobors of Western Unnada to perform home: stead duties required by law, in re gard to cultivating their lands lying} some distance outside communial vil- lages, has resulted in a somewhat complicated and difficult situation. A number of squatters, knowing that within the last four years thé entries filed by Doukhobors have been legally forfeited by the failure above noted. have prompted | some seventy eight homesteads, Doukhobors have now petitioned to the government to revise the terms so av to legalize their hold- ings without fulliling homestead dit: "We. Oliver dork not see his way clear to" give any such special privileges. The only concession he will grant is giving to Doukhobors an uncondition- al grant of land equal to three times amount cultivated around communial villages. This will pualile, them to don- tinue presopt methods of holding and working land in common in a radius of three miles from villages and will allow other homestend entries now held by Doukhobors to be given to homesteaders who will actually culti- vate the land, The average amount of land culti- vated by Doukhobors sinee they came to Canada is five acres per capita. Coneequiently land they will now hold will be equal to about fifteen acres per capita 'unless they decide to subscribe to homestead regulations which all others have to observe, ARE PUSHING AHEAD. mpi The Nicaraguans Are Winning Victories.
