A SMELTER
FOR KASLO
Ferguson Men Prominent in Million
Dollar Enterpri.se.--0f Vast
Importance to People
of the Kootenays.
A representative of tho Eagle called
on Joseph Ryan, ot Ryan __ Hunter,
with a view to verifying a report
that a smelter in which Messrs. Ryan
& Hunter are interested, was likely to
be erected in Kaslo.   Mr. Ryan said:
"My partner and I have worked for a
long time at endeavoring to interest
smelting syndicates to erect a plant at
Kaslo, which is by situation and natural advantages of communication the
manliest smelting centre of the Kootenay country, both oast and west. I
had been over tho ground in 1902 for
a Minneapolis syndicate, and so became familiar with the ins and outs of
the matter, We havo had the project
turned back to us timo after time, but
kept steadily at it wherever a chance
offored. On the 2i)th of June last, just
two months ago, wo got in touch with
tho American Load corporation.. The
consulting ouginosr of that company,
Mi*. G. F. Rendall of Wall streot, New
York, took up the proposition, asking
for a lull report, which we at once fur-
nislicd. On its receipt Mr. Rendall
secured the necessary capital and at
the present moment we have $400,000
to our credit witli our Now York bankers, Eugene J. Bealos & Co., of Broad
street. Our offices are also taken. I
have thc plans for a plant of S00 tons
daily capacity, and Mr. Rendall wires
mo ho is on his way out here. I can
speak for that much. Of course the
whole thing may collapse, because lead
smelting ur smelting at all is a serious
business in B. C. Tho economlo considerations must bo necessarily looked
into, and of necessity we must reckon
with opposition from allied smelters
and railroads,
"Yes. There aro others in the field
seeking to put in a smeltor at Kaslo.
Messrs. Hlroh and Remington, represented by Mr. J. C. Ryan.
"No. Ho is no relation. Wo aro
neither related nor allied in any way.
I merely sbino 111 the refracted light of
Mr. J. C. Ryan, who Is looking after
thoir interosts.   Also the Haborllnes,
of New South Wales. They are connected with the famous Broken Hill
mines and are most suecesful smelters
of refractory ores. Besides those two
groups there is a party behind Mr.
Ginsberger of the Monitor mine, Threo
Forks. Mr. Ginsberger has an engineer on the ground now, a Mr. Per-
nau from Newcastle on Tyne.
"Necessarily all are striving to get
the best terms they can. Mr. J. C.
Ryan's group wants undertakings by
the mine owners to Invest in his enterprise. Mr. Ginsberger wants something elso, and so it goes. Wo want
what the city has offered, and are
ready to put our money into the enterprise right now. Outsido that we seek
no favors beyond a fair business field
and no discrimination.
'���Very likely we shall employ, when
running full blast, about 350 men, but
I do not think tbat at first we will employ beyond 250 or 280. The plant
alone will cost $175,000.
"I cannot thank the Kaslo people
sufficiently for their vory great help*
fulness, lt is hard to discriminate,
where all were more than cordial in
their aid, but I must spocially mention
Mr. John Daly, Colonel Stone, Mr,
Archer, mayor of Kaslo and Mr. Goig-
rlch I should also specially thank
Mr. J. L. Retallack who, tho' knowing me for a political opponent, gave
me some invaluable Information on the
lead question.
"I did not even touch the fringe of
politics while outsido. I had to attend
to business, and I cannot permit a mixture of business and politics. Still I
will say that the Liberals make a good
showing in Kaslo. It may be only a
showing and will fail to carry valuo
with depth. Mr. J. L. Retallack makes
an excellent candidate. I am bound to
confess it, but I am vory far from making further admissions. My Idea is to
work bard in tho conservative cause,
tako nothing for granted, and await
the fruit of our work. The Hon. Robert (Ireon must win, and win easily."

Forguson becamo moro of a homo
town this year In several ways. A town
never looks homelike when there are
no (lowers or vegetable gardens or

must say there was not much to attract
tho eye In this respect. There has
been more work done during the past
summer than ever before in beautifying tho outside appearance of the
homes of Ferguson. Most of the homes
have beautiful beds of flowers and it is
with feelings of sadness that we seo
the near approach of "Jack Frost" to
destroy the flowers.

ANOTHER
GOLD STRIKE
This Time It Is Right Near Fergu-
guson.--The Lardeau Gold
Belt Extends Over
Thirty Miles,
While a good many people in Ferguson aro busily engagod in sottling the
social and political problems of tho
universo, tho discovery of gold around
them goes merrily on. The latest
was mado on Sunday, when William
Davie, of the "Lucky Jim," camo upon
a good looking ledgo of gold quartz on
the mountain immediately south of
Ferguson. Ho wont down the trail to
Trout Lako with specimens of the
quartz thickly studded with gold, tbo
sight of which so aroused tho citizens
of the lake-sido resort that many of
them struck out for the lucky spot immediately. It is said thoy wore leav'
ing town up to midnight, carrying candles to light them along- tlie mountain
trail. Fourteen claims wero staked on
Monday und several othors the following day.
The Eagle man saw two prospeotors
on Wednesday who had just come down
tho hill,
"How's tho new strlko?'' was asked.
"Yuu bet it's ull right," said urn.-.
"We've traced tho ledgo clout* down tu
Ferguson, lt is covered mo:t or thu
way, but it crops out sufficiently for a
man to trace it across tbo mountain,
though tho timbor is very thick."
Tho men further said that Davie had
struck somo rich looking samples and
that they had punned a couple of hands
full of stuff that showed plenty of
gold.
The new strike brings still more, evidence to prove tbo continuity of tho
gold bolt of tlie Lardeau, whioh has
already been traced for about thirty
mites, from Poplar ereok in the south
to away beyond Fish river in the north,
with Ferguson right in the heart of ii
The Broadview Mine*.
Xo news lias reached us yet of the
Broadview mine, which is at our back
doors, starting operations. Wo havo
not learned the purchasers yet. Many
bolievo the Broadview to be the back-
none of the Ferguson camp. Certainly
everything that ono could wish for to
mako a flrst-class mining proposition
is included In the Broadview, and tho
property is most advantageouslv situated. Wben a good, strong company
takes hold of tho proporty, liko tho
Great Western or Silver Cup Co.'s,
our town will jump ahead with a bound.
Wo know pooplo do not realize or know
what a vast tonnage of high grado copper smelting ore Is resting untouched
in tho high Grout Northern mountain
that forms a high rocky wall at the
back of our town. Did thev but real-
izo the importance and value contained In thoso deposits, surely thoy would
form a privato company to operate tho
mine. This could bo dono cheaply and
it would no doubt bo a sourco of great
profit to tlio investors as well as bringing almost incalculable financial benefit to tho town and evoryono interested
in it. __.

Corbett is now driving -toward Sullivan's broast. Fitzsimmons had a
strong lead to start with but faulted at
tho contact with tho newly discovered

the Sullivan lodo the most pronounced." Expert John Hays Hammond,
with tho assistance of Expert George
Silor, should got up a most readable

Kieli Mining Properties.
Visitors to Ferguson affirm that this
is tho most stirring mining camp in the
province. Still some of our best mining properties are lying idle; some for
lack of means to continue operations,
and others waiting for a purchasor.
Vundorhllt Llhollod,
Cornelius Yandcrbiit lias Instructed
it prominent law firm to bring suit for
libel against the Novosti newspaper al
St. Petersburg, whose editor Vander-
bilt wants severely punished. Tliis i-.
tho odltor's crime:
"Whon Cornelius and his friends visited St. Petersburg In their yacht,"
wrote tho newspaper, "tho ladies were
hard up for jewelry. Thoy hud not
dared to bring their tiaras and other
greut jewels to su barbaric a country :i*
Russia. Yot thc ladies did nut care to
appear without jewelry at a dinner
party given on tlie yacht to several
members of tho St. Petersburg aristocracy. So tbey made tho rounds ol
the jewelers of the capital, selected n
sackful of bracelets) earrings, necklaces and headdresses and had them
sent to the yaoht on approval, Theso
burrowed plumes tliey wore ut tho dinner, und sent them buck next duy with
their regrets."
Vnndorbilt denies the story and
wants tho Novosti man punished for
libelling his frlonds.
New Nowspapor Bnto.
A circular frnm the Post OIHoo department of Canada announces a big
cut in tho rate of newspapers from the

GOLD NEAR AT HAND.
As a fulfillment of the Eagle's
prediction that the richly mineralized
b.lt which runs through the Lar-
deau from Kootenay lake near the
town of Lardo, to Fish creek in the
Camborne camp, contains leads of
free milling gold ore all the way,
one lias only to follow the reports in
tlie Eagle from week to week of
new discoveries, and it will be seen
mat we  knew whereof we spoke.
The mineralized belt averages about
two miles in width and exceptionally rich silver-lead leads have been
known to exist in its area for a number of years, but while some placer
gold had been found no one thought
.if looking lor the source of this
gold. A year and a half ago several groups were located at Camborne which were found to contain
good values in the precious gold.
Last fall some prospectors found
that the leads on Rapid and Poplar
creeks contained visible free gold,
Hut not until June of this year was
i! known that these leads have the
best surface showings yet found in
Western America. During the past
Hvo months the gold rock has been
I raced right along the mineralized
;.one to Ferguson and each succeeding week there is brought to our
notice reports of discoveries of the
same character of free milling gold
bearing leads.
This week ther. has been quite a
tampede to tlie Silver Cup moun-
l.iin, near Eight-Mile, where a number ol claims have been located.
Samples have been brought down
Showing a profusion of coarse gold
i:i the quartz. So we have the rich
stuff in quantity almost at our door

' RATTLE THE DRY BONES."
Apropos of the trend ol public
interest toward the Lardeau coun-
Iry in consequence of the marvellous manner in which the district's
mineral wealth is being discovered
and developed, we think it would be
well for a business mens' associa-
liontobe formed at Ferguson, or
what might answer the purpose, to
have a resuscitation of .the local
Uranch of the B. C. Mining association, ever inactive, now covered
with moss and petrified. With individual effort very little can be
accomplished, but with a live organization whose officers were not
mere figureheads we earnestly believe good cculd be done in advising legislation, in advertising our
camp, and in otherwise promoting
our district's well&re. Let us "rattle the dry bones."'
corporation, be dead as far as we
in the Lardeau might know, were it
not that we read of strife being put
fortli by the same company to gain
control of country where they do
not now hold a monopoly. Just as
soon as Jim Hill makes a move
Shaughnessy is on the alert to head
him off, but J. J. Hill cannot very
well get into the Lardeau, otherwise this district would "look good
to him." The C. P. R, have about
corraled the Lardeau, and now they
have apparently gone asleep to
dream of new fields to conquer,
while the people of this district are
left to help themselves as best they
may. We have a service from Net*
son to Trout Lake by steamer and a
short branch railway, but the service rendered is admitted on all
sides to be most inadequate, and
the company talks ot closing this
down when the heavy frost conies.
The business of the Lardeau is, we
believe, of enough importance and
great enough to give us a better
and an all-year service, for one
must not, in considering the volume of traffic, measure only the
present business, but rather what
will be shortly and also what would
be if continuous transportation
were guaranteed the year round.
What is complained of most is the
tedious night run from Gerrard to
Trout Lake, the passengers being
packed into an insufficient space
with a big smoke stack running
through. When the door is closed
it is too warm, and with the door
open it is too draughty.
The big saw mill that is being
built at Trout Lake will certainly
help the town very greatly. The
company will employ steadily a
large force of men running nigljt
and day. Lumber is a commodity
that does not and will not go begging on the market, for the North
West Territories to the East has a
ready market for which there has
not been enough lumber for several
years.

they will willingly return tbem when tliey

-as possible among all officers and soldiers who
are now serving or have been retired, dis-
* qharged or relegated to tbe Reserve, whether

whicli may bave been takon from Boer farms.
' He feels sure that thu above facts and tbe
knowledge that it Is lit swish tbat all such relics should Hud their way back to their former
