PROSPECTS OF THE LARDEAU Turning Point Rsaohed in History of Our Progress and Ore Produotion. Written expressly for tho EAOLE bjr Thos, Ryan. Wo think the Ferguson mining district, with its hopes and splendid prospects is standing at tbe parting of the ways. The old sad condition of in- notlvity is passing if not. past, ln evory eye wc can note the light of earnest hope, and keen resolution to bo up and doing in forwarding tlio interests of the most richly endowed land in Can- ���ada, or perhaps the entire world. It would be telling a tale, state to weariness, to refer to what our mines can produce, or tho values thoy cau show. Only tho other day a virtual mountain *of (fold in this district, might go shagging��� many of them did, and found no purchasers. Capital is a shy maiden- coy and hard tn please. She no'ed we had no touch on tho great world outside, and in addition we had no means of converting our ores into sbipable matte or bullion; Therefore our gold was drops, for lack of that which moneyed interests ulono can supply Our ilnfcrrod hopes made many a stout nine's heart sick. But somo of us kept htimrm*-t'ing away at tho problem with ��� In* .i.iiul result The Lardeau Smelting and Refining Co, saw its way to Investing its money in tho locality, and it is only the merest statement of the fact, to say that the starting of the works ut the smelter marks the time when Ferguson and the Lardeau may be said to have got round the corner. We can all see the progress whieh is being made on the building. We know tbat tho entire plant to operate a furnace of HO tona a day treatment capacity is at the. Landing, if not being freighted in. It. will also be of interest for the public to know that another furnace is under order by the company to ';reat 100 tons a day, Tho "contract for tho latter calls for delivery hero early in April Already some of the principal members of the smeltor stall' are hero���Mr. Wood, agent for tho company* Mr. Vernon, superintendent; Mr. Dahlgron, who has charge of 'the erection of the plant, and Mr. Geo- dar an ej.porinced mining and smelting man. Iftheudvotitof the smelter will mark a new era in our history, it will we anticipate mark equally a new era in tlie smelting and mining industry of British Columbia. The furnaces about to he installed are of the Vulcan type, an Ai'iericttn invention and only recently patented in the States. Whon the applications for patent were filed, we believe wo are right in saying the smeller trust, or those at any rate in- teri'sied in tlio smelting plants in tho United States and possibly Canada, .rniscil every possible difficulty to tbo Issuance of, tho grant. They fought the validity of tho patent foot by foot, ami Inch by inch, with all the power thai unlimitedcapital'eancontrol, from office to oflice, and court to court, rilrht into the Supreme Court of the United States where the pa, cut was hold good, an:l the rights of the Inventors fully established. Defeated tn law, the smelter people, knowing how seriously thelt; Interests were threatened by the invention, and fullvalive to its real value, sought to purchase the rights of the inventors. The Inventors desnrvo the heartiest appreciation and thanks of tbe public, in that thoy too knew the value of the invention and wisoly resolved to refuse to sell. The result is t.luit Ferguson will rean tho first bonc- its of nheir spirited policy It may be well at this point to call attention to the goneral mode of oro treatment at present practised in the various smelters in the States and Canada, so thut a comparison may be mndo between existing methods and thoso rendered practicable by tho the "Vulcan" process. Coppor ores���speaking generally that is���must be first roasted beforo being run into the blast furnace. This roasting process involves several handling's, much expense, and what, is of greater moment, tho lyilig unproductive of tho capital invested in the mineral during Ihe period of treatment on the roast, ' lieups, which may be put down at from six weeks to two months���or more in sonic cases. Thoso roast heaps fre- quenlly contain from fifteen to twenty lliotisaud tons of ore, so thut, the interest on the motley stink in its purchase represents in the aggregate a very considerable sum. Another matter must also bo referred to. In the roasting process���tho object of which is primarily to burn off, or get rid of the sulphur in tbo ore���tt most suffocating and indeed poisonous smoke Is evolved which ruins all vegetation around, and renders life in the vicinity almost unindurable. In Northport when the wind blows from the works to the town the place reeds like tho pit of Tophot. Injunctions for maintaining a public nuisance have been sought by tbe people, but apparentty the courts favor the capital. istlo Interests rather than the health or convenience of the public. Nothing was ever dono to remedy tlie very distressing and unhealthy condition of things. Silver-lead ores have to be treated hy a much more expensive process, or processes, whilo the plant neeossary for this treatment is expensive in the extreme; requiring large, thoroughly drilled and expensively paid crews to operate them. First comes assaying, then crushing, transport from crusher- mill to bins, thence to ths Bruckner, O'Hura. or band-roasters���again as in the ease of copper ore to get rid of the sulphur, tho in tbo case of lead ores, zinc has also to be considered carefully, ond eliminated as far as possible That mineral, by the way. goes wholly to waste. The ore in the Bruckner and O'Hara processes is kept agitrted and exposed to the. furnace heat by heavy and costly machinery driven by very considerable steam, water or electric power. In the hand rousting furnaces, which wo believe prove tlie most satisfactory for ores carrying a large pereentagcof sulphur, tho oro is stirred by operatives with huge spades weighing about 100 or 120 lbs each. Tlie work of those "spiders" as they nro called is tlio hardest work a man can put his hand to, 'xcept stoking on board an ocean steamer. Now in tlio case of the "Vulcan" fu naee suppose a copper ore is being treated, after being crushed it is run "green" as it is called, or unionsted direct into the blast with the proper fiuxes and comes outwlth oneoporatlon us a copper matte from n5 pet* cent, to 97 per cent, pure coppei. Theoidinnrv furnace would net produce such a high grade matte aftor less than three distinct operations. The presence of sulphur in the ore makes very little difference to the "Vulcan" patent. If we understand tbo matter proporly tho sulphur is caused to aid combustion. Again with silver-lead ores no roasting whatever is necessary; thus saving an otiormnns item of expense in plant and treatment, and here again the sill phut* is used practically as fuel, so that the mnre sulphur the ore contains tbe better the results. This will be of Interest to men having a knowledge of smelting, and will doubtless set them to thinking of what a revolution will he affected in the industry, nnd of what vast possibilities of development such a simple and Inexpensive process presents. It will also be of interest for them to learn furthnr, that with the now furnaco no blast or tuyeres are necessary. The furnace makes its owo blast. That mav seem next door to a paradox, but it forms a substantial and Important part nf the patent. The furnaces now u-cd. say at Trail and other places, require huge blowers, worked by en- t*ipos, stenni or electric, representing hundreds of horsepower. The installation of tbo necessary blowing plant for tho usual kind of blast furnace would represent more capital than will be invested in a vory considerable part of the entire outfit here, and entails tho employment til a stuff of skilled mechanics to maintain its efficacy. Assuming that tho furnace being erected here, and the larger one ttndei order order give tho same results they havo produced, and are producing in Los Angeles and other places, then il may lie said that evory mine owner can practically do his own smelting. At presont, ti) sell his values, he must ship and pay heavy freightage on what oar rles iho value, no matter how worthless lhat stuff may ho. In future, if ho puts In a "Vulcan" furnuee. be can ship his values alone, or if his property bo near hero, bring in his ore, have it assayed and tako his check from the Lardeau Smelting and Refining Co. Tho few mines iu thn locality sufficiently developed to ship ore, are all high-grade producing properties. Taking tho Nettie L., TritiDO, Silver Cup, Cromwell, Metropolitan and the famous gold property tho Ophir-Lade group, their oros. average hundreds of dollars to the ton, and show magnificent profits tinder every disadvantage of defective transportion facilities, heavy freight���think of $2 a ten. for a ton nillo run from the Land! glo Arrowhead, yo poor paltry monopolists we hear so much ofl���and equally heavy smelter rates for treatment. They certainly will not show smaller profits when transportation charges are cut out in tbe future, Then there are tin* large numbers of properties round about with ore running $40 to $60, and so on to the ten which cannot now be touched- All theso will now be brought into tlie market and their resources can be developed fully.

Experiments aro being made on Snow- shoe oro by tho oil process of, which seem likely to prove successful. Hero U Mr* Rutherford's explanation of tlie process; The Elmore process of concentration of ores by oil has already been investigated anil favorably reported upon by several eminent metallurgists in Europe and America. The process as worked at tho Gladsir copper mines in Wales is as follows: The rock from the mine, after passing through tho usual stone breakers, is crushed in a pair of Cornish rolls, and run thence in two Huntington mills, wherein it is reduced to pass through a ��������.) mesh screen, and issues therefrom with just sufficient watei to mako'it into a freely flowing pulp. t*Yorn'_iJie Hunting-tun mills the pulp pii5.nu; directly into thoopaa end of directly int< horizontal rotating drum, inside which Is fixed u helix -villi cross blades or buckets, which UK up tho pulp to a certain height and drop it again, at the samo time propelling It forward to the opposite ond of the drum* thus keeping the pulp in constant agitation forthe few seconds which are occupied iu its progress through the drum, With the pulp is also admitted a small quantity of a thick, sticky oil (the residue left in the stills of the refining of parafflne oil). This oil is, of course, subjected to the same agitation as the pulp, and Is consequently tumbled about with it, and exercises the remarkable properly of sticking toand houying up the particles of minoral that aro flouting about or suspended in thc pulp; but it does not stieK to or have any effect whatever upon the particles of rock which are present in much greater number. The oil and pulp automatically discharge from thn opposite end of the drum int > a pointed box or spltzkastenj in which tlie tailings of rock at once settle down and flow off with tiie water at the bottom. whilst the oil by reason of its buoyany, floats to the Lop and carries tip with It, practically, all tlie values whieh thu ore contained. From tho top of the pointed box the ail with its load of mineral flows off continually lo a specially constructed centrifugal machine, whore the oil is extracted from tiie mineral which is loft in the machine, the oil being once again ready for use. For close extrao- ti'-i: three mixing cylinders aresomo- tlmes used) tho pulp passing from ono co another after floating oil' the oii and collected mineral, and receiving a fresh stream of oil in tim next mixer. A second centrifugal innohin**) is also found desirable below tho first to separate tlio last uf tho oil and water from tho concentrates. Tlio concent rales are left in the machine, practically dry und froo from oil. Various practical working tests have boen inude on ores from d liferent parts! mi of the world, and the results chow that noil remarkable idea of his functions. The miners union here asked Mt*. King to come and investigate the trouble between thc miners and mine managers under tho terms of the Dominion conciliation act. The act. in question provides for investigation only when all parties concerned consent to thu proceedings, When the deputy minister arrived here he quickly found that tho union��� as thpy havo always been���wore quite ready to submit the wholo difficulty to the department, but that the mine managers, fearing an expose of the real facts of the case, declined to he a party to any enquiry whatever. Presumably Mr.King's duties were ended, bnt he seems to have thought differently. The deputy has token the full benefit of every statemenr, made to him by the union except on two important points. First.���The opon violation of tho alien labor aet whereby several hundred men fraudulently imported into Hosslaiid and, (second), tho fact that evey other mining company in the province except the fou" or five in Kossland directly interested in the fight against organized lahor were paying the scale of wages asked for by tlie local union. Mr. King is silent on both these subjects and also en the contention of the managers though he had long and frequent interviews with them and thoir representatives during his stay here. On tho other hand lie goes minutely into the domestic affairs of tho union and into many other matters including the situation���as ho understood it���at Northport. Whatever lhe deputy minister might have reported to his superior in oflice his report as it appears in the Labor Gazette is looked upon by tho local union men as an exceedingly unfair document. Tim executive committee of the miners union are preparing a strong protest tn the department at. Ottawa on Mr. Kine'** action in the matter and in due course tho statement will appear in tho press.

The oeonomieal features of the process are that the slimes of ores which are lost in the water concentration are saved by this process. The percentage of recovery Is equally good when treating slimes and finely divided minerals, such as would largely pass away as float, in any ordinary fii'-oCess of con- cent ration by water over mechanical jigs and vnnners.

The Financial Times on tho oLher hand speaks very plainly and uses most, nnmifltakeable langutige in describing tho matters brought out by the receiver. The Times says in part: "The statement whieh Mr. Barnes, official receiver, yeatorday made to the shareholders of tho London and Globe corporation was an appalling record of crooked management and joggling of accounts, Mr. Wbitaker Wright is shown to have him-elf made large profits bv his participations in some of these deals, in the Le Hoi No. '2 huil- ne��s, for example, he made $2o0,000 through tho medium of fi.OOOshares." The paper adds that there is no proof that anv of thn other directors "unduly availed themselves of their position to enrich themselves.

FERGUSON'S SMELTER. Written by A. .1. cordon. On the first page of this issue will be found nn account of a hun- We regard this as the most im porlant item of news regarding this section which we have had the pleasure ol recording since this paper was started in camp. It will mean direct employment for a goodly number of men, and indirectly it will cause greater activity in the surrounding hills than most of the old timers ever dreamed of seeing*, it may seem to the casual observer that this section of the country will aot be able to supply a loo-ton smelter. This is quite true if it were necessary to supply ore of the value of that which is being shipped at present, but such is not the case. The fact of the smelter being located right at the mines will enable us to handle much lower grade ore than we are handling at present. This camp will always be a high grade camp, but the high grade ores are not the ores which are going to be the mainstay of this section of the country. We have wonderful showings of high grade ore, but we have much more wonderful showings of medium grade ore. The Great Northern hill alone, with a little more development work, could easily keep a ioo-ton smelter running to ils fullest capacity. There is the Broadview will) large bodies of ore running as high as $6o lo lhe lon and wilh a percentage of copper which is of sufficient value in itself lo p-ake this a valuable ore. Other claims on this hill with large showings of ore are the Great Northern. True Fissure, St. Elmo mil Silver Queen. Going across to '.he Nellie L. hill, we have the Net- tie L. which is capable of producing a large amount of high grade ore, and which, in fact, had a standing offer to supply one half of the hundred tons per day asked hy the C. ;'. R., to justify them in building their road into Ferguson. Since they made that offer they have discovered a new ore body on the Ajax which is equal to, il not better, than lhat found on the Nettie I.. Then we travel across to the Silver Cup hill and find there the Silver Cup. ���iunshinc, Triune and Cromwell, all of which properties have already shipped a fair quantity of ore and tone ol which are developed to any e*reat extent; in fact they are merely scratched up a little on the surface. Then we go up Gainer creek and find Ihe Badshot and Ihe Ophir- Lade groups, the Badshot being in high-grade silver-lead proportion and the Ophir-Lade carrying- bodies of high-grade gold bearing rock, which are sufficient in them- selves to make this camp famous .opposing there was not another pick of ore in it. Then up Ihe ���lorth fork we have the Black Warrior which is now being worked under bond, the Surprise with a large body of good grade ore, the Old Gold and lhe I'rimrose which have both showed up well under development, and the Metropolitan which has some of the highest grade ore to be found in the camp. The above arc only a part of the claims which arc capable of producing ore to send lo the smeller. All lhe claims mentioned have ore on lhe clump and in the stope. Moreover all the*'properties mentioned are capable ol producing a large quantity of high-grade ore, but they could also produce much larger quantities of medium-grade ore. We have not at present a single conceflttutot" in the whole district unci yet' we have bodies of -orb here which can be concentrated, and the representation to the mainland, enuf live and progressive men will be sent to Victoria to awaken the old foggies over there to a sense of their duty. The trades-unions of British Columbia have decided to go into politics, and it need scarcely be said that the Socialists will dominate their ranks in most cases. For this reason we have a good right to hope for radical changes from the legislation meted out at present by a few incapables who seem to be on top just now. By all means let the disconnected factions get together, settle their petty grievances and differences among themselves, and then join their forces for the purpose or really accomplishing something tangible. It can be done, and it should be done. Let us begin now. When and where shall the convention be held? What's the matter with the district executive of the miners unions taking the initiative? The Victoria and Vancouver Trades and Labor Councils will fall in line, and the Socialists will do their duty. There's no time to waste. The people are ready and waiting for the call. Who will say the word? doubtful, a protective tariff would mean protection to all the people, litis thing ol extending protection to a few private individuals for (he sake nf building up a few artificial industries and permanent millionaires in this country is getting rather coarse I ir ibis century, Premier Dunsmuir lias nothing whatever lo say in his recently concocted and signed "policy" on this one vital question to mining men, tho he has the facts before him ere this, and we need look for nothing at his hands. The time has arrived for independent political action. Then, and not till then, can we ever hope to secure representatives who are capable and willing to take hold of such questions as the establishment of a government refinery. There is no time to lose. A provincial convention should be held at once. If you are building or contemplate building we will he pleased to quote you estimates on anything made In our Sash and Door Factory and we feel confident that we can give you satisfaction in every particular.

No more fragrant violation of a law ever took place in Canada than the recent violation ol the Alien Labor Act at Rossland by the management of the Le Roi mine. Yet none of the men brought into the country contrary to the provisions of the act nor any of the men who induced them to violate the provisions of the act have been punished. This would indicate that the Laurier government is afraid to enforce the provisions of a law placed in the statutes by themselves. The Tribune is ot opinion lhat the law is a "sop" thrown lo the labor men who "boost" for the Liberal party. Il has not been enforced and never will be enforced, except, possibly on occasion, when some poor individual is made an example of merely as a blind. What is true of Ihe en- forcement of the act in Canada is also true of the enforcement of a similiar law in the United Slates. Deportation Agent Bubarry at Buffalo and points near that place for violating the Alien Labor law of the United States. Vet Dubarry has not deported a dozen men and women during all the time he has been in office. In order to hold his job, he makes a showing by trumping up cases against individuals who never existed except in his reports. So with the law in Canada. Few actual deportations have ever taken place, and few ever will take place, and none know this better than the men who are drawing salaries as officials of the Labor Bureau at Ottawa. The law should be repealed. Labor can get along without legislation that is farcial, and without the assistance ol men like William Lyon McKenzie King, the head of the Labor Bureau at Ottawa. There never was a family nor organization in the world but what had some troubles relatively their own. This is not surprising, tor where there is a segregation of differing minds there are bound to be various ideas not altogether harmonious. And when differences do occur it is unwise to call in a neighbor to settle them. The place to do it is at home. The only place where a third party is needed is where the interests of a' community are liable to be injured hy contending factions. Then an arhiier should be called. There is no provision made in the local Socialist program for Chinese or Jap labor. Since the people will oan and operate their own industries they need not employ anyone but themselves to do the work. How many Orients are there employed in what government-owned institutions we already operate��� the postoffice, schools,public works, police system, etc.?

Andrew Carnegie, is said to be sorely perplexed regarding the disposal of his money.

To Book the plaudits rather than the hisses of the capitalist els ;s is both cowardly and criminal. ���Thc Socialist. Tit-lilts tell tho following story: An Irish farmer wont into an Iron monger's shop to buy a scythe. After serving him tho shopman asked him if he would buy a bleyclo. "What is It?" queried the Irishman. "It's a machine to ride about the town on." "And shure, what might the price of it be?." "Fifteen pounds." "I'd rather see fifteen pounds in a .:ow." "But what u fool you would look riding around the town on a cow," "Shure, now," replied the Irishman, "uot half such a fool as I'd look trying to milk a bicycle " There are a dozen or more pretentious women's organizations in Canada whose aim is to specially care for the affairs of women. It has remained, nevertheless, forthe Dominion Trades Congress, tho representative labor body In Canada, to take the lirst step to secure tho passing of an act, to prevent the employment of women in the bars of saloons, hotels, etc., where liquor Is sold.

We recently mot a dynamic young man who has some claims near Dawson in the Yukon country. He tnld us of placer claims up there out of which the owners panned gold according to their requirements for provisions, clothing, extravagancies, or whatnot. We pondered on such an ideal state of prosper ity, but never thought at the time that such a condition would ever ho realized in the Lardeau. Yet a momantB consideration will show that such is far from impossible in tho near future. Many a prospector amongst us has a claim out of which he can take with his own hands high grado oro in quantities nf a ton or so. He, and everyone in like circumstances, will sonn have a cash market at. hand, so that he can afford to take out enough to pay for his development work at. any rate, and await the day when his proporty will command its fair and reasonable price. Sursum Cot'dal Let us lift up our hearts! Wo who thro good and evil repute havo stayed with the Lardeau, know best the aching doubts, and bitter struggles ofthe past.
