GREA T FUTURE FOR US What Manager Pool and the Rich Nettie L. are Doing for Themselves and the Camp's Interests in General.���No More Shares on the Market.���Railway Needed. F.I. Hillman says that tbe Nettie L. will be able to make their first shipment of ore this season on Saturday. The teams are on the jump and at least 50 tons will be ready by that time. As soon as the roads get better, being very Boft now in places, larger loads will be taken and regular weekly shipments can be made, so that tbere seems to be no doubt but that the Arm will be kept open all winter, as the larger boats coming in for the ore will easily keep the ice broken. Manager Pool came down from the mine on Sunday and left, for Revelstoke on Mouday. To say that Mr. Pool is enthusiastic over the Nettie L. would bo putting it mild. The company will soon be on easy street; the struggle has been a long and hard one, but such men as Mr. Pool cannot be kept down by suoh a trifling thing as having no money. Soon Mr. Pool will be a chicken-fed capitalist while all the shareholders will be happy. No European managers are paid to look wise ond draw a handsome salary on the Nettie L. 3taff; Mr. Pool is the manager, superintendent, financier, the whole push in fact, and withal he is proving this raine to be one of tho richest propositions in British Columbia. They are shipping ore, paying the extortionate freight and treatment charges, and pushing right ahead, believing that there will be lots of ore left for tho railway whon it does come. The people of this district arc proud of tbe Nettie' L. and its endeavor to help along the interests of the camp, us well as its own. Metropolitan Deal Is Finally Accomplished The Railway News is Exceedingly Brigh t TOPIC'S PREMATURE CHARGES Call YourselfLff Jack���Don't Let Everybody Know You're Batty. The Eaole will contribute ��100 in cold cash towards tho erection of a hospital in Ferguson if the Topic can prove that it ever "condemned1' a mining property in this district. It is quite true that tho EAGLE ba9 disapproved of the methods employed by one or moro companies or syndicates in the past, and it will continue to do bo in the future as occasion demands. The organ of whoever pays the price need not go into convulsions and further demonstrate to its half dozen readers that its editor has loss brains than the good Lord generally gives little geese. If the Eagle desires to accept a contract agreeing to take shares,��worthle8B or valuable for tho samo, It is it's own funeral. And on the other hand If the Eagle sees lit to discontinue the said contract, believing that it was boing buncoed, It is also its own business. The EAGLE can worry along very woll without the assistance of the Topic's columns. A closer attention to its own business and a like, privilege extended to the Eagle would bo more to the best interests ot this country. For heaven's sake, Jack, closo your face and go to work, and let's try to accomplish something of real value to the long suffering community here. fit RESUMPTION OP WORK. The Towser To Be In Full Blast In a Few Days. Supt. W. Innes, of the Towser, who has been in town a few days awaiting word from J. M. Skeaff, of Chicago, returned to the mine yesterday, and with a couple of men will continue work until further instructions are received. Mr. Innes hopes that within a few days a full force will be employed and everything running smoothly. There is apparently some deal on or Mr. Skeaff would be here before this, The sale of the Metropolitan group is now an accomplished fact. P. W. Tiffin, barrister, of Vancouver, arrived here on Saturday, examined the records and titles, found them o. k., handed over tho purchase price to the owners and all the necessary documents were signed, sealed and delivered, f The purchaser is Chas. W. McCrossan of Duluth, Minn., who has formed a company to develop and operate the group. Already a cabin has been built, some very rich . ore taken out and everything made ready for an early resumption of work next spring. It may not be out of place for the Eagle to give its readers somo idea of the property just sold, in as much as lt amply demonstrates only one of the golden opportunities for investment offered in the Lardeau. Some weeks bofore tbe snow came it was our pleasure to have visited the Metropolitan group of mineral claims, looking over them somewhat carefully. The'group consists of six full sized claimB, the Sun Francisco, Chicago, Boston, New York, Montreal and Fairview, occupying an area of ap- proximately 300 acres. It is situated tit the head of tho north fork of Lan deau creek; tho San Francisco, Chi' cago, Boston and New York being in series along the same location lino, while tho Montreal sidelines tho Chicago on the south, and the Fairview sidelines the same claim on tho north. The property is distant about nine miles from Ferguson, with a good pack trail leading to it. Seven miles of this trail, i.e. the distance between Ferguson and Circle City, is on a wagon road grade, and ono milo of it is already widened into a wagon road, it being the intention of the government to convert the trail to Circle City into a wagon road as soon as possiblo. The formation in the belt in which tho Metropolitan group is situated consists of a thin-bedded schist in which at intervals occur strata of lime varying in width from 10 ft. to 400 ft., and it is along these strata that the mineral'is found. Tho strike of tho formation through tho country is northwest and southeast, and the strata stand vertical, there being a .slight dip towards the northeast. Thoro are threo distinct ledges running through ihe property with good oro showings on each. On the Montreal claim there is a ledge from two to four feet in width, woll mineralised with galona oro, situated in the contact between tlie lime and schist. The oro from this ledge Is somewhat low grade, running from $48 to 8110 to the ton In all valuos. At a distance of about 1000 ft. to tho northeast of this is another ledge, which outcrops on the Boston and Now York claims, where some work dono has uncovered concentrating oro varying in width from four to six ft. Higher up the slope and at a distance of some four or five hundred foet to tho northeast of this latter lodge is the 'Metropolitan ledge proper. This lies along a narrow belt of schist lying in tho middle of a rather wide stratum of lime. The ledge along its lino of outcrop on the San Francisco and Chicago claims varies in width from four to six feet, and consists of quartz and calcito carrying considerable galena and gray copper. This upper part of the ledge, however, seems to have been impoverished of its mineral by the numerous stringers that are found at intervals, for about 200 ft., down the slope from it. Theso small veins, 10 or 12 in number, vary in width from 2 to 12 Inches, and are traceable along the slope and paralleling the ledge for distances varying from 30 or 40 foot to over 400 feet. They all dip in towards the ledge proper and all consist of almost clean grey copper and |gklen��, whioh aa ascertained from various teBts whieh havo been made show values ranging from $200 to $600 to the ton. There is evory indication that theBe small veins all come from a common body of ore, and without doubt when the ledge is tapped at tho point from which these Btnall veins are given off, a good body of mineral will be encountered. This can bo done by cross-cut tuunel about 1)00 foet in length and in addition to prospecting the ledge proper with thia tunnel, the veins can be worked out from it, for they will all pay to work. The Eagle can unhesitatingly recommend the proposition as a surer investment than is genortilly found along tbe line of a mining venture. There is almost no risk, for tho purchase prico and cost of development are secured from the start, for the position of tho ledge along quite a steep declivity makes It an easy proposition for tunnelling and there Is an abundance of timber on the Montreal claim for all mining purposes, and on the same claim thero is plenty of water power to work any machinery necessary for tho purposo of mining at a later stage. Indeed the whole preposition is suited in overy way for the currying on of legitimate mining. THE BUSY FISH OREEK CAMP. Never Before Has There Been Such Activity During the Winter Months. 1.-Great camp over Camborne, ment prevails J. Ernst Secures a Tie-Up on Jas. Comerford's Property. THEYARE COMING OUR WAY Doc 1.���Great excite- in camp over a new strike that hns been made on tho Eva group. Tho quarts is so rich that it has to bo sacked as it falls from thc blast. Cabins and oro sheds aro being built as quickly as possible, to accommodate the ever Increasing staff, and the quantity of quartz now being sacked, the richness of which can be estimated from the fact that during a temporary abscense of sacks blasting was suspended. A pack train of supplies went upon Wednesday to the Brunswick, a promising property owned by tho Lardeau Goldsmith Co., of Rossland, where three men, under Foreman Angus Mackay, intend working all winter, Never before In tho history of the camp has so much activity prevailed at this time of year. Tlie Kootenay Lumber company's four-horse team havo beon making daily trips to the camp. Both Messrs. Mngeo iz Men- henick and Brat) fort's pack trains havo been passing through every day, making the round trip to the mines and back to Comaplix, and although tho trails from hero upwards aro almost impassible, have not yet finished taking in tlie required sup plies. That the Lardeau and Trout Lake districts will havo a railway by this time next year there seems to be no reason to doubt. The presence of C. P. K. surveyors, locating "that 20 miles of railway," in two feet of snow; the assurances given to the wholesaler's association by President Shaughnessy at Nelson recently; the personal letter now on file in this office from the same source, and the fact that tho contractors, Messrs. MeVeagh & Poupore, of Nelson, expect word every day to enrn- ence work at this end, all points to this conclusion. It may seem ridiculous at first thought, to say that the road will be built this winter; but why? Labor can be procured from the Sound cities, where there aro thousands of idle men, at nearly one half the cost of six months later, and with tho C. P. Ii. this is a big consideration, much as wc despise the introduction of cheap labor. The branch from Wigwam to Arrowhead, wflieh is a worse piece of work than this one, wns built during the winter months, Tho possibilities of the road are Buch tbat tho Eagle man expects to make his next trip to tiie main line on cushions. As the old maid says "this is so sudden!'' We can scarcely believe it ourselves���a railway for tlie Lardeau. This happy realization lias a tendency to take one's breath, but the cold fact of the matter is: "the time has come." Already the inllucncc is being felt. Properties are changing hands, town lots are eagerly sought aftor, and everything indicates a lively time for ibis district from this day hence. Not oven the deep snow can cool the enthusiasm so freely shown by everyone in the district. And in outsido camps the change of sentiment and constant talk of this district is even more noticeable than at home. Everybody is talking "Lardeau." It's a household word in Rossland, Nelson, Spokane and Vancouver. Such richness of oro as is found in this camp, cannot longer lie dormant. Thoso resources will command capital! Every new find,evory new strike, every salo and the handsome returns from the smeltor, ull have a tendency to bring this country to the front. But the advent of a railway will just be the beginning of what is in store for us. Investment Seekers Are Already Securing Themselves For The Inevitable Activity Next Spring. ���Ground Floor Seekers Will Not Wait, But Are Coming in Now. J. Ernst, a knight of the grip from Nelson, representing the California Wine Co., was in town on Saturday. While here Mr, Ernst secured a bond upon James Comerford's property at the head of McDonald creek, known as the Mountain View and Blue lay. The bond covers from now until Augl. 1901. If the deal goes through all right it will be the biggest one ever turned over in the Lardeau. Mr. Comerford's assessment work last summer proved the property's worth. There is no doubt about it, Mr. Comerford has ono of the biggest and best surface showings over produced in this country and Mr. Ernst is more than fortunate in securing a tie-up on so merited a property. That the bond will be taken up even before its expiration the Ragle has little doubt, for Mr. Ernst is a rustler from-tho toes up and with the financial assistance of seeking investors at his back, a happy combination is formed; and all to the mutual advantage of this district. Gontlo people, wo have a grand country with unbounded resources, and the timo is not far distant when thousands of people will be kicking themselves for not having come in hero sooner. With transportation a certainty for the immediate future we need havo no fear. Our mineral, timber and agricultural resources will do the rest. THE FIRST AND LAST. The Political Campaign Opened And Shut In This Camp. A. C. Gabon, of Rossland, addressed a meeting in Ferguson on Monday in the Interest of the Liberal canidate, W. A. Galliher. Mr. Foley's cause was uphold by R. P. Pettipieee. A. .f. Gordon acted as chairman, ft was a Foley meeting. At Trout Lake the same evening another meeting was held with Ed Adair on deck for John McKane, tho Conservative candidate. J, J, Langstaff occupied the chair. Mr. Gabon is a fair and clean speaker, but from his own words showed that he should vote for Mr. Foley. R. P. Pettipieee did what he could to show Foley's claim for votes, while Mr. Adair told of tho broken pledges of the Liberals. It was a big meeting and broke up with cheers for the Queen and Chris. Foley only. Foley is a sure winner in thiB camp. HELLO! REVELSTOKE. Ferguson To Be Connected By Phono With The Main Lino. W. Cowan, of Revelstoke, informs tho EAGLK that on and after February 1st, 1001, he will again assume control of the Lardeau telephono service, Messrs. Kinman Si Curry's lease expiring on that date. Mr. Cowan intends to string a copper wire between Arrowhead and Revelstoke, thus connecting us by 'phone with the main line. The whole system will be renovated and a competent man placed in charge, with the best of appliances wherever a 'phono is installed, This ehiin��c will be appreciated, for tlie present service is scarcely up to the mark. A NEW BROKERAGE FIRM. Tlie Provincial Government Will Endeavor to Bring Buyer And Seller Together. R. E. Gosnell, secretary of tho provincial bureau of information, prints the following notice: "In order that thc government may be in possesion of definite information with which to supply those seeking investment in this province, I am instructed to invito particulars from theso who have properties for sale, and who may fool disposed to forward such particulars to this office for the purposo in question. In view of tho proposed early reorganization of ohc agent-general's uftico in London, England, tho desirability of having on file a list of farms and other properties for sale, with full and accurate details the fullest particulars are desired, not only of tho properties themselves, but of the locality in which they are ituated, and tho conditions affecting them. Printed schedules will upon application, bo forwarded to those desirous of making sales. SILVER CUP'S SHIPMENT. The Manager and Superintendent To Tp.ke a Lay-off. Manager Didisheim, ul the Silver Cup, will leave for tho old country shortly, while Superintendent D. G. McNeill purposes making a short visit to Colorado points. Tho 200-ton shipment of ore from the Cup will bo out In tho courso of a couple of weeks, and thoro s'ooins to bo no certainty of any moro boing shipped this winter, unless instructions from London govern to the contrary, MAIL MATTER MIXED. The Present Arrangement Will Not Do.���New Contract to Be Let. Postollico Inspector Dorman is expected in hore daily, to arrango for thc winter mail service. A. C. Cummins is as yet carrying tho mail on Craig & Hillman's contract, so that a new contract must be made. If A. C. Cummins thinks for ono solitary moment that tho pooplo of Ferguson and its mines aro going to stand for tho kind of a service that is now being meted out, he is laboring under a delusion. Just because Ferguson is four miles from tho wooing abode of Mr. Cummins is no reason why we lh Forguson should not have our mail tho samo day as Trout Lako, the same as we have had all summer long. The EAGLE has a reliable man in mind who is willing to undertake to carry this mail In a fit and proper manner aud Mr. Dorman will do well to mako a few enquiries before letting the contract to anyone.

The EAGLE would rather own an Interest in a claim of country rock, under good management, than have a promising mineral surface with uncertain managers. Be tho present Provincial government's faults what they may, one thing is obvious; tho mining resources, and other special inducements to investors of British Columbia aro boing brought to tho notice of tho outside world. The force of printer's ink will accomplish a great deal if circulated and placed judiciously. With imminent revival, in mining circles now so certain, many private owners of the people's heritage will coin money. Tho balance of the problem will face our children, when these heritages pass into the hands of private capital. The timo will not bo long. The Chamber of Mines, recently inaugurated in Kossland, has for its purpose what evory live newspaper in tho same field is striving for���the bringing uf onr wonderful mineral resources to the attention of men sock- ink profitable investment. And for this reason both should work and pull together to accomplish the desired <������' '������ ���'. The resources of tho Lardeau will sooner or late" commend thorn- solves to tlie mining world, but the sooner tho better. While the EAGLE has no doubt of the ultimate outcome, we cannot afford to overlook any opportunities or making our special Inducements to investors known. The EAGLE for one will do Its share | towards making the Chamber Minus a Buccess.

To SSIB1 1TIESI [BIS DISTRICT V Tho W ondorful Advance -Made During the Past Season.���Why tlie Attention of the Mining- World is Directed Thia Way.��� The Nettie P., Triuno and Others, The Rossland Miner of Nov. 26th says: R, P, Pettipieee, proprietor of the Lakdeau Eagle, Ferguson, and a pioneer of 1897 In thut seetion, is in tho city on a visit, Mr. Pettiplece is an enthusiast In regard to the Lardeau country, and says it will make a great record In the way of a large ore output just as soon an it ia glvon transportation facilities. Tn speaking of the need of a railway in the Lardeau country ho said: "I was In Rossland in 1896, and when I seo the changes thut havo been wrought hore by transportation I realize what a railway would do for tlie Lardeau country. At tho present time there la a party of C. P. II. surveyors cross-sectioning and relocating the proposed lino. They aro camped at Ferguson at present.. With tho assurance that we have from president' Shaughnessy that the road will bo built next spring we feel certain that thero will bo railway constructed from Arrowhead through tho Trout Lake Valley to the head of Kootenay lake. Such a road would tap all tho important mines in that section und place tho distriot in eomunieation by boat with tho ('row's Nest railway to Argenta, and at tho same time wo would havo connection with Trail from Arrowhead. Trail is our natural Btneltlng point at tho present time, and tho bulk of the ores will go there as soon as the railway is constructed. Tho great argument that the 0. P. K. has used against us is that tho Lardeau country could not supply a sufficient tonnage to mako a railway pay. This winter we will send out over 2,000 tons of high grade ore. This will open the eyes of tho railway people to the possibilities of tho country. The cost of freight and treatment under present conditions is about $37 per ton and even then after deducting these charges tlie returns is over $100 to the ton. This gives a good idea of the value of the ores produced there. With tho railway In that country the ton-1 nage would he greatly Increased. "Tako this season from a standpoint of work dono. There has been more actual development than in all tho rest of tho time since tho prospectors went Into that country,. In addition to this I there has been more linds and strikes made than ever before. Probably the richest find was that of tho Triune. Twenty tons of this ore was sent to the Trail smeltor and netted $207.00 to tho ton afterpayfng all charges. Another shipment of 120 tons of this rich ore from the Triune will be at the Trail smelter within two weeks. "A phenomenal discovery has been made iu the Nettle L. mine. During the summer six or seven men wore at work on tills property, but before spring 50 men will bo employed. This property, since development work was commenced upon it, has shipped 200 or 250 Inns, but this winter 1,600 tons will be sent to the smelter. Tho oro will give net'returns of at least $126 to tho ton. In tho Old Cold camp, whore thc Old Cold. Guinea Gold, and Primrose company is operating, over $16,000 lias beon spent In actual development this summer and on th" properties of oaoh Important strikes have beon made.

The vein is even stronger than nearer the surfaco. There has been more Bales and more activity 111 the Fish creek camp this season than tn any other seetion of the Lardeau. Thin Is largely" due to the enterprise and energy of Rossland mining men, who have backed their faith by their money. Among the properties in Fish ereek are tho Wide West, Black Hoar, Eva, the Kingston and others. Mr. W. II. Jackson and Mr., F. II. Bloohberger have interested a a good deal of capital in this section. Anion;; tho most promising new proper;ies in the Lardeau, whose capabilities have been manifested this year by development, are tho Cromwell Lucky Jim, Metropolitan, Sunset arid others. Placer mining on tho south fork of In speaking of the political situation. Mr. Pettiplece said polities wore rather quiet in his seetion, but from what ho could learn from personal interviews with the electors he was satisfied that Mr. Chris. Foley, lhe oandidate of the Independent Labor party, would poll more votes than the combined votes east for Mr. Galliher and Mr. MeKane. 7k :^^M,^kmm^ Batters of North Americ; s����i��^w5 ii THIS IS THE UNION I.AI1KI of thu I'nili'il Ilm iits nl North Am- iirli'ii.

Two thousand .laps will be allowed to vote to-morrow in British Columbia. A fow Eaiilk subscribers in Revol- stoke complain of not receiving their paiicr. What's tbe trouble with the postal directors? The local committee are making: (rood headway with the proposed entertainment for New Years eve, A children's Christmas trco, on a small scale, is being; talked of for Christmas cvo. A joint stock company is being; formed in Revelstoke to carry on the business conducted by the Kevelstoke Herald. A new plant is being installed and a homo printed semi-weekly will be Issued. W. B. Pool has a button of pure silvor, the proceeds from one pound of Nettie L. ore, which S. F. W. Gainer is. raking into a watch charm. It lacks only a trifle of being as heavy as a silver dollar. Mrs. E. Knowlton left here on Saturday for Ontario, where she will spend . Christmas with her parents, for the first time in many years. Master Gordon and Miss Edna Knowlton will join her at Revelstoke and Calgary respectively. Thos. Taylor, M. L. A., has been touring the Kootenays during the past two weeks in company with Minister,, ol Mines McBride. He and Mrs, Tay lor leave Revelstoko for his home in St. Thomas, Ont., this week to spond a couple of months. The political arena is quiet at Rev elstoke. Foley will poll a big railway vote. Comaplix is solid for Foley. Arrowhead, too, will giVe him a majority. And tho general consensus of opinion all through tho riding in that Foley stands a good show for election to-morrow. Revelstoke looks much the same as it was last spring. Quito a number of residences have been erected here and there; the C. P. R. shop force is larger anda magnificent skating and curling rink provides no ond of amusement, but a general cry of "hard times" predominates. Tho EAGLE issues a paid-up edition of 1250 copies to-day. Last issue loo were printed and sold, and the issuo before 1000 copies were disposed of. This circulation is larger than all the rest of North Kootcnay's newspapers together. If you want till the mining news you must become a paid up reader of the Eaole. "The Bulletin" is tho name of a new publication issued in Rossland. Horace F. Evans, the editor, says that his publication is "in response to tho lmperltlve demand of the investor and capitalist." The paper i contains considerable useful statistical information and lifter the first of the year will lie issued evory Saturday. R. Davis, Ferguson's saw mill man, left for Revelstoko last week, after spending Ihe summer here. Mr. Davis will return early in the spring and run a night and day shift, cutting at least 16,000 feet evory 24 hours. And this, we fear, will not supply the demand for lumber hero next spring if present indications so for anything. Lardeau people wi) 1 remember old man .Tohnson, of Arrowhead] who had the winter mail contract last year and was supposed to have got drowned in thc Ann. In fact his obituary appeared at. the time in theEACiLE. Ho is now in Arrowhead hale and hearty. The life insurance did not raaterlalto and presumably Mr. Johnson tired of Seattle life, ami returned on Wednd dav to bis wife and lar ge fumiiy. lie is now dubbed "MnCLiity."

The "Slulf Fiends i Association," of the pay roll confer, hel d a special ses- ion the other night. The barber's motion to make clau se six of the Quaker act read: "A . newcomer shall be stuck every game fc r ono month" Instead of four months,: met with general disapproval and w as thrown oitt, Aftora grand spiel by th a lofty plnucfe of the sons ol' rest the me atlng resolved that "on tlie mlt being passed up and played by tho last man, he not onlv must gin th ��� house up th on and there but leaves himself liable, .to expulsion irom the association." Kootenay Lumber Oo. Given Notice to Leave Beatrioe Ore Alone. For many months back tho Beatrice mine, just over the summit back of Ferguson on the Pool creek side, has been tiod up by litigation. Frank Ful- mer, ono of the owners, bonded tho property some time ago to Beer Bros., of Nelson, and there has since been more or loss trouble all round. Wages and accounts wero left unpaid by the bond holders or their agents, and this notwithstanding tbat considerable ore was shipped to tho smelter and moro taken out to thc dump. Judgment was secured against the man who contracted the debts by the Kdbtenay Lumber Co., followed by an auction sale at which the company bid in and secured whatever ore, etc., was in sight. But here is where more trouble begins In the meantlmo the bond held by Beer Bros, expired and the entire property reverted to the orginal owners. And not only this, the last clause in the agreemeent made by Beer Bros., distinctly guarantees that the property is to be left free from encumbrances, etc. Mr. Fulmer, through his solicitors, Messrs. Taylor & Hannington of Nelson, has served notice upon the Kootenay Lumber Co. to "keep off the grass" and thus another legal fight is on the tapis, the the result of which will at any rato teach other property owners to bo more careful when giving bonds on their properties. The chances are tho Kootenay Lumber Co. will get the best of it; but Mr. Fulmer will more than pull even by entering action against Beer Bros, for not doing as they agroed to do. It's a snap for the lawyer element anyway. THE BEATRICE SQUABBLE. A GREAT MINING REVIVAL Our Mineral Resources Will Command Attention From the Financial World. President J. B. McArthur, of the Chamber of Minos, tt newly organized Institution in Rossland, writes tho Eagle setting forth the aims and purposes of tho asssootation. Among other tilings Mr. McArthur says; "All the mining men of your camp and district should come in am! help us. Wo should be greatly obliged. Wo think that this Chamber of Mines will be a holp to outlaying camps especially. We shall treat every camp impartially. The information we obtain from our correspondents will be published in all tho financial centres of tho world. We shall father every camp impartially, and doour best to bring its resources to the notice of the investing public and we shall have channels at our disposal whicli tho individual camp could not possibly command. Wo feel that wo are on tho eve of a groat revival in mining, und it is our high purpose to direct the attention of the financial world to our great mineral resources, and to seek to induce capital to investigate and invest in evory camp of the district."
