Thi Facts Concerning i112 Scttle-
lltOut iiith Lit Rose dining Co.
The facts with regard to the Agree-
ment fur the payment to the L t !Cosa
Mining Company of $30,000 for moneys
disbursed by thew, and of 10 per cent.
of the amount whirl may be received
in the future by the Goverument from
the O'Brien Mine up to $100,000 are.
roughly speaking, as follows: -
Before this Government took office
a great struggle took place between
the Li 1{ose alining Company and the
O'Brien Syndicate or combination. for
certain mining properties. '1'he strag-
gle was a very bitter one, and was fin-
ally decided by the Department in fav-
or of the 4 )'Brien people.
When the present Government Came
into office it was strongly urget upon
theta by the La Rose people that the
O'Brien people had procured their tit-
les by fraud, and the fornier asserted
their ability to prove this in the
Courts, and to show beyond a doubt
that the O'Brien leases were based on
fraud. They declared that they had
already a large amount of evidence in
support of their contentions, and wish-
ed the Government to grant them a
flat in order that they might open up
a new fight with the O'Briens in the
Courts.
In the end, the Government decided
to set the matter at rest by taking
legal proceedings, claiming the land
for the Crown.
The evidence collected by the La
Rose people was placed at the disposal
of the Government. The case ofp the
Government was practically carried
on by the La Rose people. The end of
it all was, that an offer was made by
the O'Brien people to the Government
to pay the latter 25 per cent. of the
proceeds of the twine at the pit's mouth
in perpetuity in full settlement.
After careful consideration by the
solicitors for the Government, and by
others called in for that purpose. it
was decided to accept this offer.
The question then arose, what were
the Ia Rose people to receive for the
part they had taken and the evidence
furnished by them iu the litigation?
The Government always admitted that
it would deal fairly with the La Rose
people on this point, and, after consid-
eration, it decided to pay them the
$30,000 which they bad disbursed and
to pay them also 10 per cent. of what
they might receive in the future from
the mine, up to the sum of $100,000.
This was a very favorable settle-
ment on the part of the Government,
the La hose people claiming that they
should be paid at. least $1350,004) and be-
ing .luite dissatisfied with the settle-
ment.
tin far, the Government has receiv-
ed as royalty front the O'Brien urine
about $210,000, not one dollar of
which would have been received had
not the Government taken the bold
stand in defence of the rights of the
Province. And no good citizen will
suggest that proper remuneration
should not be given for the evidence
and assistance received by the Govern-
ment in this very remarkable litiga-
tion without which evidence and assis-
tance there would have been no chance
of success.
The electors will not forget that un-
der the Whitney Government a set of
reading books for schools was reduced
in price from $130 to 1(k.

The lodges of the Independent Order
of Forester's are vigorously kicking
about the pi ospective increase in rates.
The objection is not to increasing fu -

ried out, it will mean n wholesale drop
in the membership. it is also a ranch
