Winston Churchill emphasized the government's intention to stick by Ister and to prevent coercion by the south. The, government would expect, ^e southern provisional government, now that it hud the mandate of the ople, to assert Its authority and bring about order.

The meeting passed a resolution I The latest reports coming from I Quesnel lake are all up to expecta-I tions. Boatloads of men are leaving 1 daily. An enterprising man has come up from Vancouver with a number of "portable" boats for sale or hire, says a special report to the "Vancouver World" from Quesnel Dam. Some of the claims recently staked within a mile of the dam have been Riving the best results. The Ruby claim, owned by Kenneth Thompson, has yielded platinum, gold and rubies, the latter, of course, not being of great value. Keithley and Spanish ('reek are at present the centra of attention, some good strikes being made during the last week. Mr. Macdonald came through with five and a half pounds of gold en route to the coast. The first "elderly" lady prospector arrived in camp last night. She had travelled all the wav from Faulkner, Man., and she informed me, "I have no intention of returning until I do find gold." Mr. Ilobson, Jr., whose father was the original owner of the townsite, is taking an active part in some Spanish creek leases. Bill Marquardt. who is working made a perfect landing but when swinging on the aerodrome the fracture parted and the whole undercarriage was swept off the machine. Both tips were broken off the pro-pellor. and the factory in New York had no new propellors on hand. This caused delay, as a propellor had to be made for the machine, and a new undercarriage fitted on. There are several parties waiting in Hazelton for trips into the Omin-ca country in the monoplane, and it is Mr. Bell's intention to deliver these people to their destinations as soon as possible after the machine reaches Hazelton. The wheels will be removed at this point and pontoons substituted in order that the machine can land and take off on water. The experiment of opening up the. Omineca country by means of thi< aeroplane transportation is being watched with evident interest by everyone who recognizes the vast mineral potentialities of that inaccessible region. GOVERNMENT WARNS IRELAND LONDON, June 27�The Evening News says that the Hritish government sent a warning on Saturday to the Irish Provisional government, declaring that if the latter government's authority to restore order is not exercised the British government would have to take action.
