six weeks getting things in readiness
for the different works that aro being
erected by tlie Ophir-Lade Co. near
Camborne to bo used in working thoir

The act which was passed by tho
British Columbia Legislature granting
to the Columbia and Western railway
two blocks of coal and oil lands in East
Kootenay and which has caused such a
whirlwind cf opposition, and riglitly
too, was cancelled by an act that was
passed on the 21st instant by unanimous vote.
The measure brought out a good
many speeches and tho lato government was soundly criticized for having
given away this line tract of public
land without any value received by the
district in which tho land is situated.
The grant scorned most unjust and one
can hardly seo anything but fool-hardiness in thc action of tho government
In giving tho land to a railway company that did not complete the
work in consideration of which the land
was givon.
However the gratification over tho
cancellation of this grunt seems to have
been short lived, for although tho
measure was curried by au unanimous
voto of thn legislature, when it was
presonted to the Lieutenant Govenor
for ratification he used the power of
veto which is vested in him and the
bill is therefore dlssallowod.
Instead of British Columbia possessing provincial self-government it Is
ieally a one-man government and that
man an appointee of the Ottawa ministry. Is it possible that tlio whole
membership of the Victoria legislature
mado a mistake in passing what
seemed, to us also, a necessary bill of

For 30 hours prior to his death the

EDIWRIAL MOTHS.
It is a matter o:' deep regret to
th.* peoplj of lhe Kootenays lhat
Ihe Dominion government have
declined to i: crease the duty on
lead or lhe manufactured lead products.
It is b.liev.'d that the solicitations
ol our member VV. A. Galliher,
strengthened us lie was by memorials an.1 n representative deputation, would be listened to and an
effort made to help the lead industry but we were doomed to disappointment.
The government ol Sir Wilfiid
Laurier may find before very long
ih it it is unsafe lo wink at lhe de-
* lands ol tlie west and il they were
wise they might see that tliey are
pursuing au unwise policy toward
Hrilish Columbia. By protectin
tlie lead industry and thus preserve
the Canadian market for Canadian
lead mines nol only would the mill
ing men be benefitted but the whole
Kootenay country and other pur-
suits as well as mining.
The people ot the Kootenays
must not permit this important
matter to drop here but the effort
hat has been put forth during the
winter must be continued with renewed vigor until tlie Ottawa authorities find they cannot dilly-dally
with us; we must fight till we get
our rights in this respect.
We consider lhe increase in the
bonus on lead, which has been
promised, will not do much good
but is an excuse lo tide over '.he
matter of a change In the existing
lead duty till Ihe session is over.
To provide lor the revenue that
will lie lost to thc provincial treasury by an abolition ofthe obnoxious
���j percent mineral tax, it is proposed
to amend the assessment act by
which an increase in the land tax on
crown granted mineral claims of 25
cents per acre will be made. This
will make the ta:c on every crown
granted claim that is not worked
regularly $26 per year. The proposed legislation has already raised a
wail of indignation in many parts of
A meeting has been called of
citizens, miners, prospectors and all
others in the Furguson district to
meet in the Eagle hall Saturday
evening April 25 at 7.^0 p. m, for
the purpose of forming,*i permanent
district mining association. It is
expected there will le a large turnout, especially to h jar the reports of
the delegates who attended the
Victoria convention.
.Much good may be accomplished if
a strong association be formed ar.d
the matter is taken hold of in a
proper manner.
the province; some maintaining that
the increased lax will, be the means,
it passed of injuring the prospecting
business of the country to the point
of killing it. It will also discourage
prospectors and mining men from
getting their claims crown granted
lor the.men feel that they would
rather continue to do a full Sioo
worth of work each year and thus
increase Ihe value by opening it up
than pay the tax to the government
without any good accruing to the
claim.
It seems to us that it would lie
wiser of the government to encourage the prospector and miner by
training legislation governing the
mining industry that will make this
industry as attractive as may be,
until such lime as this, the most
important industry of the province
is on its Ieet ami the metal markets
again reach the normal condition.

LARDEAU MINES, LTD.
The threo claims owned by the company are tlio "Lardo.au
Queen," the*'Lardoau King" aud the ''Lardeau Princo," all abutting
ond to end, through which three loads pass the entire length- situated at the head of Lexington creol:, in the Lardeau lainitio; division
of West Kootenay. British Columbia.
These three claims aro located on the western slopo of Goat .Mountain, the linos being north-westerly and south-easterly, and form one
complete portion of Mineral laud of about lOH acres. Tliey ho east
loss than four miles up from Fish river.
Tho group lies in the "Sitting Bull" and "Wild West" bells,
two of tho strongest and best known loads in that district, aud work
already dono on apjaeent cxtontions has given most satisfactory
results as to oxtont of oro bodies and increased values with depth.
The formation is slate and schist, lying In an immense lime
dyko, nnd the oroppings of the leads are generally topped witli heavy
iron capping and quart.*., whioh'gives assays from >���< upon tho
surface.
VEISS AND WORK DONE
Exploitation consists of two opon cuts along tho surface for a
distance of twenty foot, which exposed a body of argoutiferous
galena over 8 inches in width. The value of tliis ore body was $25.00
on tbe surface, but at a deptii of less than three feet it lias increased
to$10,110. To tap this oro showing and tho massive iron capped
ledge close to which lt lies the present tunnel was commenced and
Is now ln a distance of 82 feot. Another &"> feet of ot'OSSOUttlug
should reach this ledge at a depth of about Iii foet, When 01 feet
had been driven, an almost-solid body of iron ore tliree foot thick
was encountered in tlie tunnol lying against a wait of slate. A
samplo at this point assayed $77.liO in gold, silvor, copper and load.
At a distanco of 14 feet from this lead a lino body ol oro hrs boen
encountered which, when crossed, proved to bo seven and a half foet
wide, carrying the finest looking mineral yet found on tlio properly.
A third ledge whicli contains the richest ore and widest surface
showing, will bo reached about February 15th. This ledge when
oncountored, will bo from 1:1 to 16 feot wide and groat results are
expected.
Tho property bas an exoellent surface showing. The average
assays are most encouraging, considering tho great width and con-
tinuancy of tho loads across tho country with such great width and
prominence ofthe surface judging from'other properties in the near
vicinity, some uf which are ou tlio samo lead and havo developed
very rich ore bodies.
In conclusion 1 would say that tha Lardoau Minos arc as good as
any, if not tho best, in tho vicinity, and I verily believe with a
nominal expenditure, they should be made dividend paying in a
short time, and I would strongly recommend extensive development
toward that end.
