R. President Says Government Exceeded Its Powers on Grants. Victoria, B. C., May 10.���Attor- noy General F.berts was on the stand all day of the 15th. Ho said he had told Mr. Taylor what Mr. Wells had said at the executive meeting���In effect that Mr. Taylor bad approached him, Welle, and offered him a share or interest in a land company if he would delivor up certain grants. Witness had asked Mr. Wells, "Do you think I'm guilty of anything wrong in connection with this matter?" Mr. Wells had replied, "Certainly not." Witness had Bald that he did not believe Mr. Taylor would bo guilty of such a thin-.: either. Mr. Taylor had been very indignant when Mr. Wells' charge was related to him, and had asked if he might not go before the executive and defend bis character. Mr. Taylor at that time had made no statement to witness as to what had occurred in Montreal. Mr. Wells bad on a subsequent occasion denied that he had told the story to Mr. Dunsmuir in tbe first instance. He could not just recall the circumstances Of this conversation. It was on the 20th of March tbat Mr. Wells had denied tbat he had made the statement to Mr, Dunsmuir. Mr. Wells had stated that it was Mr. Prentice. Witness recalled Mr. Brown complaining of the recession, at a meeting of the executive. He could not recall any reasons for the cancellation being given Mr. Brown. It was a stormy session so far as Mr. Brown was concerned. He bad been very vigorous In his protests. No reasons for the cancellation were given Mr. Brown. Mr. Brown read a telegram from Sir Thomas Shaughnessy on, the subject of the recision, to the effect that people in public life could do what private individuals could not in respect to contracts. Brown had asked each of thc n. inisters in turn if they believed that Sir Thomas Shaughnessy would be implicated in such a transaction as alleged in Mr. Wells' report of the Taylor incident. The ministers had said tbat they did not regard Sir Thomas Shaughnessy or the C. P. B. was so implicated,. Tbey either said this or said nothing at all. Witness did not remember (hat any promise that legit - latlon would be introduced in 1002 under which the company would get these blocks bad been made by Mr. Wells. If any such arrangement had been made. It was not within witness' recollection. The question of tbe recision of the grants, to witness' knowledge, came up on the 18th of March. The members of the -government were aware as early as the 3rd of March, that inquiries were being made ln this matter. As to Mr. Wells' statement that ln a conver- tion with witness, he Wells, bad said that If the grants were delivered "tbe government would have to go," and Mr. Eberts had replied, "let us go, then." Witness and Mr. Dunsmuir were pressing for the delivery of tbe grants; Mr. Wells did not deliver the grants. The matter* ef the effect upon tbe government, politically, of the disclosure of these facts In connection with the grants, w(i*j,discussed, among tbe members of the government. Witness would not say, tlie goyerflinent attempted to keep back the information Id this matter. The return of Information to the bouse wei ordered the da; after the recision order was passed. He had never heard it given as a reason for the non-delivery of the grants tbat the company would not agree to build the road to Spence's Bridge. He bad never heard any reason given for the non-delivery of the grants. Ho could not say that political pressure in tho house was the reason for the non-delivery. Witness could not say tbat cancellation of the grants had been resolved on before the 18th March. He could not say that the government had before that date, re- resolved that the grants could not be delivered. He understood that Mr. Wells was taking, this position. He could not recall. that Mr. Wells was urging political expediency. The matter was always spoken of as a completed matter until the Taylor episode came up. The construction of the Midway-Spence's Bridge road was never mentioned in connection. Witness' viow of the reason for cancellation was because Mr, Dunsmuir believed this story, Mr. Dunsmuir had said so. ttrnml Trunk Pacific. A special dispatch from Ottawa to Vancouver says it is reported that the Dominion government has decided to grant a subsidy to the Grand Trunk Pacific for 3,000 miles to the extent of $5,000 per mile. This means a cash grant of $15,000,000. In addition, it is said, the government will guarantee bonds to tbe oxtent of $20,000 per mile for 3,000 miles, which would enable the company to raise $00,000,000 more by mortgage. In an Interview today Sir Charles Rivers Wilson, president of the Grand Trunk, said: "There have been some rumors in circulation tbat the Grand Trunk company is not behind the Grand Trunk Pacific enterprise. I strove to make it clear to the railway committee that this opinion was altogether erroneous." "Are you free to state what kind of financial aid you desire from the government?" "I would rather not discuss that. Naturally we expect to get a reasonable amount of assistance. No company can be expected to promptly build 3,000 miles of railroad, mainly through a new and largely unsettled country, without getting some aid. What form that aid would take is for the government to determine."���Rossland Miner. n A I't-otltahlo Investment.

Mr. George Ross, who as administrator of his son, William E. Ross, is largely interested in the Black Warrior group, the Silvery King and other mining property near hore, returned recently from Nelson and nurpo.es to mako Ferguson his headquarters for the summer, and is negotiating for raining property close to town. He brought letters of introduction (rom influential men In eastern Canada, and theso put him in contact with the best financiers and legal advisers in the province, and helped him greatly in settling his son's estate, and also in making investments. In an interview with a representative of the Eagle Mr. Ross said: "1 mean to settle down here for the summer. My interests are tho country's interests, and I have done my best to advance both. It appears to me that the Lardeau peoplo aro fond of .allowing their light to shine under a bushel. My business has brought me In contact with men of all classes, financiers, mining men, newspaper proprietors, merchants and laborers, and generally speaking I have found them profoundly ignorant of the Lardeau. That gave me an opportunity of eolightonin* them, and 1 am glad to say that I did it effectually in some cases, to which I shall refer. If I, unaided, succeeded so far, how much further could your townsmen advance the town and locality by systematic, sensible, united endeavor by publication of properly illustrated truth-telling pamphlets, and so on? I think the people of Ferguson lack enterprise in not advertising tlieir district's resources and showing to the outside world that thoy are alive.. Other places I have been in this spring; where they have not one-half the 'iuallty of ore, etc., but thoy show an up-to-date activity that is bound to do good on the outside. ,i "You will have oxperts all over your liills the moment the snow gets off��� men representing an abundance of capital. I say that becauso I have the proofs in black and white in my pocket. There is the firm of McKeevor Bros, of >New York and Chicago, Interested In bonds and stocks exclusively. Their bank rating all over the states Is half a million dollars. They representing several important syndicates and monied corporations, hare undertaken tbo responsibility of sending ln here during the coming summer two exports to thoroughly examine the mining conditions. Those experts will report to McKeevor Bros., who in turn will advise favorably or otherwise to tbe syndicates. I trust the people will be ready to show those gentlemen things as they really are. The country Is all right. All we want is Inspection���fair and honest Inspection under reasonable conditions, with no misrepresentation on either side. "Then Messrs. McMaster Bros., the celebrated law firm of Montreal, also intend sending experts here to find out property���gold, silver, .zinc, copper or lead���Into which capital can be put and from which tbe chances are good that fair returns may be realized on the Investment. Tbey also are, acting for clients who are willing and able to put large amounts of capital Into the Lardeau district, providing report! oi the experts show that such investments would be profitable. When I was in communication with the heads of those firms I was in a position to tell them that tho infamous 2 por cent tax would be abolished. Sinco that time I am pleased to find that the tax has .been abolished. That tax was destructive of enterprising investment. I also was able to inform tbom of the removal of the duty on the exportation of zinc ores into the states. "Tho entire horizon is bright with hopo for the Lardeau and Slocan. Let ;us all unite in seeking to bring about the deliverance of the entire mining section of JJ. C. from tho inactive condition that has existed for tho past few years." Tlt��� Trail Iteiluery. Much activity is boing displayed in and about tbo lead refinery on the hill. The plant for the treatment of silver slimes is rapidly nearing completion, the work being delayed somewhat during the last fow days by reason of the slow delivery of lumber and other necessary materials. The brick work is all done, and as soon as the building is finished it will be a vory commodious one for tho furpose intended. Plans are out for the erection of a new melting plant to be used in connection with the refinery. This building, also, will be mads of brick, and be a valuable adjunct to Trail's new and growing industry of lead refining. The operation of these plants will be in charge of Mr. Robert L. Whitehead, formerly manager of the Seattle refinery, who is a metallurgist of considerable reputation in this particular line. The Trail refinery is now attracting the attention of the mining world in general, and its process of refining is being investigated to an extent that augurs well for the future of refining lead by moans of electricity. In fact, many authorities are predicting that it will surely do away with the old zinc desilverization process, now adopted universally. This means much for the inventor, Mr. Botts, who is no stranger to Trail, as it will be remembered he spent a good part of last year here, installing the present plant���the only one of its kind in existence.���Trail News.

The Metropolitan company niude ori inspection of the tram and cliancos -T malting a start at an early date, but this now appears out of thc question. The Triune basin is lined with slides and towers No. .1 and 7 of tho trnra have been carried away, and In doing so the cable has jumped off a number of the remaining tower-, and is in many places for hundreds of feci. buried in the snow. The worst featpro is, that owing to the danger of slide, it is unsafe to do any immediate work, and as several heavy slides havo yot to come down, it is hard to say just what the.results may be, or whether tho balance of the tram line will escape or be wrecked. " The cabin at the mine has collapsed under the weight of snow, so that work at the mine or upper end of tram cannot bo started until paok horses can reach that point, which will be near the I5th June. There is an average of seven foet of snow in that vicinity yet, and while the adjoining hills appear to have less than usual, tho appearance is that this is due to the wind drifting ii off into tho Triune basin. Tho company is anxious to start work as quickly as possible, and it is the intention of tho management to commence mining and ship out by pack horses, the same as last year, while tram repairs aro going on.

He says the congestion of people, Immigrants, at the Manitoba capital as well as in most of the towns trom Winnipeg to Calgary, was simply wonderful, but like all thinking men who believe that Canada has a magnificent future before her, he could not but deplore the unwise emigration methods that have been employed by the present government* in encouraging and assisting the large number of the Slavonic race to leave their homes and come ".o Canada's iair domain. He -'links, and rightly, too, that the large immigration oi th.-iu people will be found to deter the higher and more desirable classes of Europeans from emigrating to Canada, for instead of proving an uplifting element, they have introduced customs and principles that have been foreign to our country heretofore. One has only to visit any one of the towns where these people bave planted themselves to find proof of the genuineness of this contention. Canada -is a country, where natural conditions are- exceptionally :;ood and when any community is inhabited by industrious, intelligent people, the whole country is benefitted; the government coffers are enriched, the manufacturers have a broader field for the sale of their wares, more railways are required and the country forges ahead, On the other hand, a people who are not thrifty or ambitious, who have no desire to learn and adopt the customs of their Anglo-Saxon neighbors, they prove a detriment and an expense and a charge on lhe country. Happily a large majority of the people arriving this season are of the. better class.

E, strike and the C. P. R. are having their work done in a kind of a way by outside men. The strikers are, however, hopeful of being able to gain a settlement when President Shaughnessy is in Vancouver. At a large mass meeting held at Vancouver on the night of the 13th inst. addresses were delivered by President Lamrick of the local order, Chris Foley, J. E. Bird and Geo. Estes. These gentlemen advised the strikers to stand firm. The Gamey investigation in Toronto, Ontario, has been dragging along until Thursday last, when it was adjourned for a week. There has not been much new evidence brought to light in the past fortnight outside of that given by the Globe reporter, who told of Hon. J. R, Stratton having requested him to forget parts of a conversation had by the minister and the reporter. After carefully examining the report submitted by the commissioners who looked into conditions at Frank, Alta., the North West government have permitted citizens and any others who wish, to occupy the town of Frank. Business has been started again, and providing no further trouble occurs a fairly prosperous season is hoped for. The market is good for silver, copper and zinc ores and indications point to an improved condition of the lead market. EAGLE ILL on second floor in Eagle block Ferguson, B. C.

The throe claims owned by tho company are the "Lardoau Queen," tho "Lardeau King" and tho "Lardeau Prince," all abutting end to ond, through which three leads pass the entire length, situated at the hoad of Lexington creek, in the Lardeau mining division of West Kootenay, British Columbia. ( These three claims are located on the western slope of Goat Mountain, the lines boing north-westerly and south-easterly, and form ono complete portion of Mineral land of about 150 acres. They he oast less than four miles up from Fish river. The group lies in the "Sitting Bull" and "Wild West" belts, two of the strongest and best known leads in that district, and work already done on apjacent extentions has given most satisfactory results as to extent of ore bodies and increased values with depth. The formation is slate and (schist, lying in an immense lime dyke, and the croppings of the loads aro generally topped with heavy iron capping and quartz, which gives assays from $8 up on the surface. VEINS AND WORK DONE Exploitation consists of two open cuts along the surface for a distance of twenty feet, which exposed a body of argentiferous galena over 6 inches in width. Tho value Of this ore body was ._.",.(10 on the surface, but at a depth of less than three feet it has increased to .40.60. To tap this oro showing and the massive Iron capped ledge close to whioh it lies the present tunnel was commenced and is now in a distance of 82 feet. Another .25 feet of crosecutting should reach this lodg_ at a depth of about 125 feet. When 61 feet had been driven, an almost'solid body of iron ore three feet thick was encountered in the tunnol lying against a wall of slate, A sample at this point assayed $77.00 in gold, silver, copper and lead. At a distance of 14 feet from this lead a line body of ore has been encountered which, when crossed, proved to bo seven and a half feet wide, carrying the finest looking mineral yet found on the property. A third ledge which contains the richest ore and widest surface showing, will be reached about July 1st. This ledgo when encountered, will be from 12 to 15 feet wide and great results are expected, The property has an excellent surfaco showing. The avorago assays are most encouraging, considering the great width and con- tinuanoy of tho loads across the country with such great width and prominence of the surfaco judging from other properties in the near vicinity, some of which are on tho same lead and have developed very rich oro bodies. In conclusion I would Ray that tho Lardeau Mines are as good as any, if not the best, in the vicinity, and I verily believe with a nominal expenditure, they should be mado dividend paying In a short time, and I would strongly rocommond extensive development toward that end.
