A few particulars connected with the Bis tory of Queen Charlotte group of islands will Nob be uninteresting especially As it throws some additional Light on the Early Haida. The islands were first discovered in 1774 by Juan Tererz were named by him do Saint Margarita. In the year 178g la Perouse the navigator when on a voyage of discovery happened to to driven by Winda towards the Lolanda while on Hin Way from Japan and discovered Grahim Island the main Island of the group e. The r present name of the Island waa Given by a tips. Dixon when he anchored in Clark Bay in jul 1787. Opt. Dixon Ivna in command of the Queen Charlotte a Trad ing vessel of 200 tons Burden and was then exploring the web coast of Vancouver in behalf of a London fur company when he sighted the q. 0. Group ahead of him. He posted up to the group through an Enterante which Baa since borne his name. To then hoisted the British Flag and named the islands after King George the Firat s Queen. Capt. Douglas visited the group in Bhe same year. He anchored near North Island on West coast and had it not been for the warning of a Friendly chief would together with Hia Crew have been murdered by the indians. Black Guinea was Tho name of Thia chief and until Tho time of his death he waa culled capt. Douglas. To having taken that name among other things As a Reward for his services to the Captain. After Thia incident the indians refrained from attacking Thipa for Many years. Black Unea was succeeded by Edenshaw who a a regular attendant at the Massett Church. He Hiva shown or. Harrison papers written by cant. Douglas referring to the courage of Black Guinea and stating that he most in future be known As capt. Douglas the Friend of All White men. Cant. Of the French exploring vessel St Lido was the next to Viii the islands. He i at North Island in front of Black Guinea s Village lie came to the islands in 1791 and accurately recorded some explorations that he made on the West code s. He also studied the no tin character and in his celebrated Book maker Bhe following remarks i never Law the Haida armed or distrustful. 1 followed them into their faintly circles end found them Good Huff Honda and Good fathers i lived As it were i loveral Days in intimacy with them As mob of it its possible to do when people explain themselves ocly by everything that to Relatos of their manners of their customs and their character announces a hospitable mild intelligent and industrious people endowed with great Good sense to Whin the useful arts Are not unknown and who join to them even agreeableness. And May to said to have already made considerable and Vatice nout towards f of the contrary Dixon Chi Recti them our Yeara previously Catoma Balismo and describes them As dirty Thi Evish impudent and murderous the missionary who has lived among them for eight Yeara believe the indians of these Yalanda to be the finest Aud fierce at race of people on the coast. Onco they were a very powerful nation and the terror of Tho surrounding tribes into Whoso territory they used to make1 incursions murdering and pillaging and carrying off captive whom they made slave. The tribes in ancient times frequently b a trussed the and Naase Lucians Aud the neighbouring Haida tribe. Ati Laet the to simple wins and Naase indians aided by the Haida at Massett robs spit and Skidegate banded together to overcome the powerful tribes on the West Cosat. A Battle ensued and and Tho fighting continued for several Yeara. Finally the Allied tribe gained bulletin a threshing Accident scoured at u. Mckinlay s place Sturgeon settlement on wednesday.

Us new phase being the chock forfeited the new a base put on the water Power scheme by the withdraw in of the Ross Holt company is being Colum enter on by citizens generally. The consensus of opinion seems to be that the Council made a mistake in in producing new details a the proposed agree ment Between the Council and the company. One gentleman said yesterday that if the Council Hud turned everything Over to the company without securing any privileges or indemnity the City would have been beef lated not Only by having Hie water Power established but by the increased Revenue which would accuse in taxes by the advanced land in the Vicinity of the works. It is estimated that the land in that locality Rose in since the negotiations were begun to such an extent that the increased taxation this Yeav before even r. Wow was struck would have amounted to at Tho least. Another Gaa Lemau said thai the construction of the works would be Worth a million Mollura to the City in the matter of taxes alone. It is not known yet what action the Council will take in the premises. It a thought that if the Council can induce the government to expunge the clause providing for the construction of a lock in connection with the works that there will be no difficulty in get Ting a a Stepany to take hold of tote work. The Ross Holt company hns asked for the return of the s10.000 Check which was Deposit Enas Security with thu Council but there seems to to a Prospect of the Council refusing the request As some members Are of the opinion that the Deposit has been forfeited by the action of the company in withdrawing from the Council had accepted the company s first proposition. The question will be Likely discussed at the next Council meeting.

Thus the presence of several Hundred a als Foka can be accounted a Hundred Yeara ago the Haida numbered and there was a time when they could be reckoned at the rate of a thousand to the Hundred at the present time.
