RESULTS AS FAR AS KNOWN A Death Blow to Kellie and His Favored Few.���Taylor Polled A Majority in Every Point Except Revelstoke.���Likely Course of Our New Member. Polling day pasaod off very quietly In Ferguson. Most of the voters came down from the hills, but there were a few exceptions. At the Cup the boys paired off. Up the north fork the same. Of course many of the miners in this, as other B. C. mining camps, are American citizens, and this with what voters exercised their franchise at Trout Lako City brought Taylor's majority down here much lower than it otherwise would have been. There were a few bets made in town at three to one, but a man had to bet wild to get a call from the McRae men at all. The townsmen raised $10 in the evening to got the returns, but they were very unsatisfactory indeed. Not until Sunday was there any outside word, therefore It was left largely to the dally newspapers to convey the news. And even now tbe situation is too vague to size up with any degree of certainty. A telegram received by the Eaole from Revelstoke on Sunday ���ays tbat Taylor's total majority is 147. As predicted by the Eaole McRae nearly lost his deposit. This, too. iB a greater majority than ever J. M. Kellie was honored with. And had Kellie been tn McRae's shoes be would have fell with tbe same dull sickening thud. Tom Taylor, M. P. P., tbe Eaole believes, will prove himself to be a van many times worthy of the confidence which has been placei in him.

George's Weekly, of Denver, Colo., has come out with an elaborate plan to do away with parties and politicians. The editor of the paper, Herbert George, proposes to start the scheme in Colorado by getting 1,000 staunch supporters of the undertaking to sign a pledge with him not to bo candidates for office, eleotlVe or appointive, but work unceasingly for the restoration of the old-time rights of the Amorlcan people. A single paragraph In the published plan shows how he expects to effect the desired reform. Ho says: "Wo are earnestly inclined to the opinion that an Intelligent and well directed effort, having for its object the forcing of one or the other of the two great parties to adopt the idea of direct legislation will soonest bring radical ohanges for the bettor and soonest do away with parties and politicians." This'is'a view not shared'by Mr. George alone. Many persons bave given up the hope >of any party, as such, carrying out to its legitimate end the reformation needed; HENCE THE WISDOM OP COMPELLING ONE OP THE TWO OLD PARTIES TO GIVE US DIRECT legislation that we may take economic questions away from party influence. riwi winter.

Since that dato 275 tons more havo been taken out, thus making the total output 1095 tons.

Ralph Smith May Possibly Come Out on Top. The population of British Columbia in the future must in the very nature of things be largely made up of miners and laboring men, and that elass of people will undoubtedly have a large influence Id shaping the legislation of the province. In this province there are a number of Labor representatives and while the contingent which will take its seat in the House is not likely to be very strong, It will grow and In time may become a body of considerable importance. Those who have followed the career of the leader (Ralph Smith), of the Labor element in British Colombia know that be is not a blatant demagogue of the red, roaring anarchist type, but a reasonable, safe, Intelligent, broad-minded man, and withal one of the best and most convincing debaters that has ever sat in tbo Assembly. Some newspaper subscribers often wonder why a publisher will keep on sending the paper wben the subscription has expired. The reason is this: When the subscription is paid to a certain time, the time expires and the paper is stopped, it looks as if the publisher doubted the integrity of the subscriber; and nine times out of ten tbe subscriber will give tbe publisher a "calling down" for insinuating that' his credit is not good Rather than cast any reflection against a neighbor's honesty to pay a small debt, it has become customary for country newspapers to continue sending the paper after the subscription lias expired. The city weeklies and dailies do not generally follow this rule as their subscribers live at a distance, and besides they are not acquainted with them and donot'know tbeir tinancial standing. One should deem it an honor to know tbat his credit is not doubted when the publisher continues to send the paper Should the subscriber desire to have his paper discontinued he should inform the publisher and remit to date, if any amount is o^ing, WOHK SHOULD UK CIINTl MKI1. drifting from the crosscut recently made from the No. (I or lower tunnel.

The service is improved all round, though earlier rising in tho morn Ing will be in order. DOMINION DAY AT TROUT LAKK. Ferguson Is thu centre of a groat mineral country. Draw a circle around Ferguson with a radius of 10 miles and you take in some of tho richest mineral belts in the province. Stump blasting and road building still continues on the wagon road between here and Thomson's Landing. The portion between here and' Trout Lake should receive special attention, as there is likely to be a great deal of traffic, particularly' If tho rullwuj builds to the foot of Trout lake this sumsier as promised by President Shadgtinessy.

If T -ore asked who is running this Dominion, I should say Mr. Shaughnessy, McKenzie and Mann, Senator Cox, and the banks, with Lord Minto and Sir Wilfrid Laurier as the assenting and recording clerks, and Sir Chas.

Black, "Dad," Nettio L. yesterday. was up at He visited tlie the keep tho cent bolt shareholders in good humor. Another shift may be put on to drive a tunnel further up the hill from the present workings, to tap the surface showing at a 25 or 30 ft. depth, just to find out exactly the trend of the lead, and which one will pay to drift upon the best, in the absence of j better transportation facilities. A. E, Welch of London, Ont., one of the managing directors will be here in a couple ef weeks to go over the properly with local superintendent West- fall and ascertain the best course of future development. Mr. Welch will also buy a fow other properties, if feasible, for a new company which he has successfully floated to operate Lardeau's famous properties. The Npokiine Group, Ernest C. Wood, engineer and local manager W. H. Jackson of Rossland, will be in camp again next 'week. Six inon, Messrs. Sharp, (push) Athol, Douglas, Atkinson, McTuggart and "Doc," are now on shift. Trail and cabin building, tunnel driving, otc, is their program. This group is owned by tho Ciinadian-Lardeau Mining Co., Ltd., who will shortly make their headquarters in Ferguson. IliK Dlneovery In tile Oil! Gold, Local superintendent Westfall's last visit to tills property, owned by the Old Gold Quartz and Placer Mining Co., Rossland, was an eventful one in the history of Duncan slopo properties. Before Mr. Westfall commenced the work already done he had found largo chunks of float containing good mineral values, but never could find where it came irom, until last week. The new lead, strange to say, is only 80 ft. north, running parallel to the first lead discovered. Work was immediately stopped on the discovery lead and the four men put to work on the new find, which promises excellent results. They commenced work on tho lead about 75 ft. below the point where apparently the float had previously broken from and aro already taking out ore. There is at least from 0 to 8' inches of clean galona ore on -the footwall and from 2 to 3 ft. of high grade concentrating ore on the hanging wall. Kvery blast is exposing better ore. The samples exhibited by Mr. West- fall were beauties, containing as it must, considerable grey copper. On the I'rhm-oHt' Group. J. W. Westfall, local superintendent for the Primrose Gold Mining Co., Ltd., with headquarters at present in Kossland and of which Messrs. Miller and Chestnut are managing directors there, left yesterday morning to again visit his many properties up the north fork. In conversation witli tlie EAGLE Mr. Westfall stated that thero was now nearly 500 ft. of work done on the Grace C, in tho Primrose group. A- force of men arc still driving on the tunnel, lacking only 30 or 41) ft. now of being under the big surface shewing. The wall being followed is a good one, and Mr. Westfall expects to bring down encouraging news of this work noxt week. A Trull to the Triune. Messrs. D. and P, Forguson, L. Wlsener, A. Evans, V. and Jas. Lade never saw the mine looking better. A first class ore sorter is now in charsre. name, which will be provided before j so that higher grado shipments will be tho christening on- Saturday. | made in future. new strike and confirms even more and Robt. and Arthur Gunn are busy than the foreman gove the Eaole ;on | cutting a trail from 10-milo to the Tri- Monday evening.

They intend to take out enough oro to make several shipments Work on the Silver Lear In addition to tbe 40 ft. crosscut tunnel already driven, Supt. Westfall has just let a contract for 50 ft. more work. He expects to tap the lead at 30 ft., after which drifting and stoping will bo commenced. This property is owned by the Guinea Gold Mines of B. C. with headquarters at present in Toronto. It is located about H miles, air line, east of the Rob Hoy, just over or. the Duncan slope. Will Invest in l.urdenu I'l-opei-tle*. 10. F. Boyles, of the Inland tynpire Co-operative .Mining Co., Spokane, was in the camp last week to look over some Lardeau properties, but as the ones lie wanted to see were located in the snow belt Mr, Boyles decided Ui return to Spokane and again visit the camp in July, wben in all likelihood, he will purchase two or three properties for his company. A shall on tin, Alpine. E. M. Morgan was. of course, in town on Saturday. He says he chits sunk a 111 ft. shaft on the lead on the Alpine, owned by himself and Andy Ward, and located over near the Mubel group southwest of Ferguson. There is 18 Inches of about 30 to 1 ore the full depth of the shaft. Tlie load is well defined and promises better results with depth. The L'nu-kHhiit. Thos. li. Johnston recently of Ivaslo. but now of Moyio City, was in tho camp last week sizing up the Crack- shot, a property in which he and a brother, and .1. B. Johnson of Kossland. arc ii.terosted. A de.il is now pending on this property whioh if consummated will mean a lot of development work. The Kitmlnlpli.

Tlio boys are rustlers from the snap of the gun. The Golden time. Andy Ward and E. M. Morgan have now driven a 19 ft. tunnel on tho Golden Gato.

WOULD \m THINGS HUM The Smelter Syndicate May Tako the Initiative.- Thoir Plans If Carried Out, Will Moan Increased Prosperity For This District.��� Prospects For the Railroad. M. L, .Moyer, the Philadelphia smelter mail, hits returned!to the camp accompanied by Geo. Stead, a representative for tlie capitalists whom Mr. Moyer has succeeded in inueresting- hore. On Monday they visited tbe American, owned by Andrew Abra- hainson and Thos. Taylor,- M1.. P. Though no work to sneak of has been done on this property, n st/rong lead carrying concentrating matter and a 12 inch vein of clean solid galena oro has been ex-posed. On- Tuesday Messrs. Mbyet* and Stead went up to look ovor nurtli fork properties. Not only do these men intend to build a smelter in this locality, if satisfactory, but they will also buy claims and if necessary produce their own ore. If this method were pursued their project could scarcely bo other than a success. While a [smelter could be operated without a railway it would certainly be more advantageous and economical to have one. if only to the foot of the lake. Frnm letters now passing between interested parties tit Trout Lake und C. P. K. officials it is obvious that construction will be commenced not later than the end of July, as soon as the Balfour branch is taken over by the company. It is only a matter of two months work when once begun. Fred. Robinson, of the Fred. Robinson Lumber Co., Comaplix, has received assurances that the road will be built right through to that point this fall, from which point the -company will transfer to Arrowhead! Tl'.o eoowi, slip, and tugs arc already provided- for the Kootenay lakes, so that a- slip, at Comaplix or nearer Arrowhead is all that is necessary. With these prospects of a railway and a smelter tiie Lardeau should foi-go to the front from this date. Even now there is a scarcity of miners. The camp's pay roll is increasing daily. There is' more actual t development going on this season than evor before. Moro money being put into tho ground can only have ono effect, that of forcing these modern necessities this way. Properties are changing hands on a business basis. Prospector's prices have been lowered. Mining promoters, in most cases, are looking for proved properties rather than wildcats. Claim owners here now realize that in order to sell n property they must have something in sight. 1900 is the beginning of the Lardeau's long-looked for attention from the mining and railway fraternity. THIS SEASON'S DEVELOPMENT Will Excel That of '07 and Forco the Railway Our Way. Strangers keep dropping in and disappearing in the hills everyday now and the camp's pay roll is Increasing steadily. There will be a good summer in here at tiny rate, hut unless railway transportation is provided another dull winter will be experienced! though there will lie much more shipping (lone than last winter. If the glad news that the C. P. II. will commence construction of the Lardeau branch in July is really true everything is lovely ami the goose is suspended at a high altitude. Hut. if not, we will simply have to keep a hammering. Everything conies to those who wait. OI- INTEREST TO THK LAKDKAIttTES. The final results of the provincial elections are still unknown in this land of wireless telegraphy and snowcapped kopjes, but sufficient to say Joe Mai-tin's government has been turned down. The chances for a combination between the 'Cotton-Labor-Indepen- dent-Conservutive faction seems likely, in order to keep tlie Titrnerites where- they belong. John Houston at Nelson, Smith Curtis at Rossland, and Thos. Taylor at Revelstoko are elected, thus demonstrating that trades-unions are heavyweights in West Kootenay. THE LARDEAU EAGLE, FERGUSON, B.

I; WEDNESDAY, JUNE 13. 1900. j i CAUSES OK TRUSTS, 'Die very foundation principle of tlie trust combinations is reatric- tion. Probably on tlio theory that tire must always bo fought with j lire, every effort thus far mado by legislatures, to destroy tlio power of flic so-called trusts, has boon in tlio form of still further restrictions. Ono restriction is piled up- on another, and still a third upon liiith : and in this way it- is somehow hoped that liberty will be established by multiplying restraints upon liberty. The commerce and and trade nf the country are tied up with chains by the trust- monopolies : ami then congress and the legislatures seek to nullify the effect ol' these chains by chaining the chains, Il is seriously proposed to restore free competition by prohibiting trust combinations from entering into competition. Laws have: 1 11 passed for the avowed purpose of preventing combinations, which control two-thirds of the production of any article, from soiling their goods in competition witli the producers of the remaining third. It is no cause for wonder thai all the so-called anti-trust laws have resulted in ignominious failure and that the number of trust combinations never increased so rapidly as since those laws were enacted. There is but one remedy for slav- ery, and that is liberty. There is but one remedy for monopoly, and that is to sot free those currents' whioh have been restrained by j monopoly. No combination can ever be permanently successful un-; less it is founded upon some 111011-1 opoly of natural resources. In very rare cases such a monopoly is founded upon the extraordinary! genius of one or two men. For this there is, and ought to be, no j remedy. Nature makes it iinpus- sable that such a monopoly of gen-1 ills should last more than a few- years ; and during that period its benefits will far outweigh all its, disadvantages. Genius may have an occasional monopoly ; but no one) can long have a monopoly in gen-1 ins. Nature is sure to produce a rival genius, who does in another way that which the first genius did in his own peculiar way. This was strikingly illustrated in the history of the steel manufacture, Besse- mer having invented one immensely valuable and cheap process fur making steel. Siemens followed witli another method, ami Gilchrist and Thomas with still another, The great monopolies uf this country owe their existence tn special unjust privileges, conferred upon them by a course of legislation, whieh the people ot tlie United States adopted of their own free will, and whieh are still maintained by the votes of the very people who most loudly declaim against monopolies. Foremost among thoso are the tariff laws, the internal revenue laws and the patent laws, We shall briefly consider those in the. order of the least important. Taking first the patent laws, which avowedly concede a monopoly for the term of 17 years, for good and solid reasons in each case, we have only to say that they afford a striking Illustration of the ���dangers attendant upon any legalized monopoly, howsver meritorious. This is shown by a comparatively recent scandal with regard to a pretended conflict ef claims in the patent office. Two opposing claims were secretely purchased by one corporation, which afterwards employed attorneys ou both sides to keep up the sham contest for many years, resulting in a practical monopoly of a single invention for 30 years, instead of 17. By similar manipulations, other valuable inventions are monopolized I'm- a much lunger time than tin- law in- tontls. while many others are simply locked up anil kept out of pup- lie us itirely. The patent laws need a thorough revision : Jill in the direction of greater liberty. Asj we do not propose to discuss the details on this occasion we confine ourselves tn saying that these laws shuold lie so amended as to make it impossible for any monopoly to last under it for more than 17 years from the date of the application for a patent, and so as to permit the use by everybody of all patented inventions upon resonablo terms ; or, in some other way. patents should be prevented from supporting any monopoly for a longer period than the precise term prescribed upon the face of the statute. The internal revenue laws. by the restrictions with which they surround the manufacture of li- quors and tobacco, afford some great advantages to monopolies. As it is our object in this article not to specify any particular monopoly now existing, we prefer to illustrate the point by reference to match manufacture, in the days when there was an internal revenue tax of one cent a box. It is well known that the result of that tax was to destroy immediately all independent manufacturers, and to concentrate the business in the hands of two or three great corporations. When that tax was repealed in Ink..'!, these monopolies fell of thoir own weight, and it was many years before they could be reconstructed. The present great combinations in the match manufacture are to be found in other laws encouraging monopoly, which are still maintained. Tho tariff is the most fertile source of American monopolies, During the last oil or 411 years hardly an instance has been known in whicli an American monopoly has been denied any part of the benefits which it has demanded in the enactment of tariff laws. In 1890 and 1897, this rule was without any known exception. In 1894 there were but few exceptions. Tariffs are always made up by the very parties who are interested in preventing foreign competition and securing for themselves a monopoly nf the domestic trade. It is simply absurd to make any effort tn prohibit or to regulate trusts and combinations while their causes are left untouched. If the American people shrink from competition with other nations of the earth, and deem themselves justified in preventing such competition by force, they have no moral right tn com plain if American capitalists take advantage nf the laws which prevent foreign competition, tn make nf them instruments to prevent domestic competition also. Neither have Americans, who believe iu preventing foreign competition by force, any moral right to complain of capitalists who prevent domestic competition by fraud. The 11110 is just as moral, or immoral, as the other. And thus we come, at last, to the fundamental remedy which is needed. The fundamental cause nf American monopolies is to be found ill the lack nf honesty, justice, business courage and love nf fair dealing, which is unfortunately characteristic uf a vast majority of the human race, not excepting the people of the United States of America. Whenever a majority of the Araortcan people demand simple justice, neither more nor less, for themselves, all these questions will be speedily settled, and trusts will dissolve like snow in summer. For any man who demands and n ives exact justice for himself, and no more, necessarily concedes precisely as much to every one else ; and if no man received any more than justice, every man would receive justice. Nn right can be taken away from any one man, without conferring more than his right up on another. Tt is as impossible to give less than justice to all men at once as it is to cut off a section of the air and destroy it, leaving a blank. The inconslttonoy of any man who demands that competition shall be free, when it works in liifcsjjayoi-. lull shall Im- prohibited when 'it works against him is obvious. But it is not- so uliyious to the ordinary mind that it is equally absurd to insist upon freedom uf competition within the borders of the United States, while excluding competition from without. Nevertheless, the exclusion nf competition is quite as unjust and injurious in the one ease as in the other; and the demand for freedom of competition at homo, while denying freedom of competition from abroad, is absurd and suicidal. The laws of nature cannot be persuaded to work only half way. No man can can take poison and yet enjoy good health. No man can enslave another, yet remain entirely free himself. Neither can any man or nation draw an artificial line and say : 'Within these boundaries, competition shall be perfectly free; but outside of these boundaries there shall be no competition at all." The remedy, and the only remedy, for the evils of domestic monopolies is the repeal of all laws which pretend to give to any man, rich nr poor. American or European, any protection against natural competition, any artificial monopoly of natural resources or any advantage whioh is not thrown open, on equal terms, to all human beings. Who would be freemen, must set all men free. ���Thomas (1. Sheakman, New York Best Wines.

The Double Eagle Company h, s been formed lor the purpose, not only ol mining its present properties, but of acquiring promising claims and developing them to an extent that will justify their sale to English and other companies at a profit. The company 'ilready owns and has paid for in full, tho Trilbv and Old Saul properties in the famous Fish River district, and a three-quarti rs interest in the May Bee mine, in the Lardeau district one and a hnlf miles from Ferguson. Sufficient promoter's shares have been set aside for the purchase of the remaining quarter. Tlie May Bee is the sister claim to the now famous Nettie L, which has broken all records in British Columbia for large bodieB of phenomenally rich ore. The May Bee and Nettie L were located together in 1892 by Mr. W. B. Pool (who has been appointed manager of the Double Eagle Co.) Both claims carry identically the same rich ore on the surface and the same remarkable ledge runs through both, carrying high values in gold, copper, silver and lead. The promoters have already spent $4,000 in developing the May Bee, withexcellent results, and in order to place the mine quickly on a shipping basis the company now offers the publio the opportunity of investing to a limited extent in fully paid and non assessable treasury shares (par value ?1) at 10 cents each. Shares will be sold in blocks of 100 and upwards. Tin, company reserves the right to withdraw the sale of shares from tho market iituny time Without notion.

Spunking incidentally of silver, you will always lind more silver in galena M silk-ions deposits than in the galena of alkaline deposits. All native sulphurous, particularly all the sulphurets of iron, contain gold. And as sulplmreta cannot penetrate any rock bnt from btlow, the heaviest body of such kind of ore must lie doep in the earth. In proof nf this conclusion, all pyriteous veins are found to improve in quality and quantity with the depth. From the present known existence of electro currents in many veins, and the analogy between voltaic combinations and the arrangement of matter in mineral veins, it is reasoned with a fair degree nf probability that the formation of many metallic lodes are due tn electro-chemical agencies. Gold cannot be detected hy tlie eye or hy a magnifying lens when associated with galena, sulphide ol nine or arsenical pyrites. It is found in this connec tin11. and also in combination with cobalt, manganese, lead, tellurium, tnalnchitti and tlie sulphides of silvor ami antimony. Its presonceor absence un,lei- many conditions can only In1 determined by suitable tests, of which we will speak further hereafter. Indeed, it is for the prospector to be prepared tn test all ores when ho linds them, either on the spot or in camp. And at the same time it is worth remembering that no test, however rlut- terinw; individually, can determine the true value of a lode. Specimen assays only show the character of the ores assayed. The true general value of a mine depends upon conditions which are liable to vary. Uioh ore at tlie bottom of a shaft does not constitute a large producing mine. Only three or four men can work iu the bottom of a shaft. A mine must have drifts aud stopes, crosscuts and levels, furnishing openings to permit the employment of a large body of men. These excavations cost money. It costs money to erect a plant of machinery to operate a mine. Mines are made, not found. Sulphate of iron has no effect upon gold amalgam.

A Ml! has boon Introduced in the house of representatives by a Utah congressman providing that work on an unpatented mining claim in excess annually of $100 iu amount shall he considered as applying; to adjoining claims held hy the same owners. There is a good deal of well meant but ineffectual effort to secure favorable mining legislation iti congress, some of which, if directed to forwarding the bill creating a cabinet position nf mines and milling would be nf practical value and definite result. Itis the general impression, and a very natural om, when gold is found in | the bed of a stream, or in its alluvial washings, that a parent vein must exist somewhere above the locality where the gold is found. We find gold in grains disseminated through granite, and in the alluvial mix of granitic mountains, but there may be no gold-bearing veins iu this rock. Transition rotks contain spangles and grains of gold; also veins, iu which the metal is associated with quartz or calcspar, and frequently with pyrites, The demand for the various minerals applied to electrical uses makes it advisable if uot necessary for the miners to read upon metallurgy and mineralogy. Miners are now advised to be on the lookout for all crystals of hardness aud weight, and for species of sand or crystal difficult to wash away, while panning for prospects. Just uow the _V electricians are seeking n mineral called gadoliuite which is said to bo of great use in the electrical world. Sir K Phillips contends that metals an* generated by long continued galvanic action between mixed rocks, and are the aura of rocks, combined with oxygen, nitrogen and hydrogen, whose actions and reactions are electricity. The results are a matrix, a compound of soma of the peculiar aura with oxygen and dydrogen; exhalations from the lower part of the vein are also to be. considered. (Ires and crystalizatinus are, therefore, direct products of the oxygen and hydrogen rendered active in electricity, aud of the exudations and aura of the rocks aud strata. Proximity is not essential to electrical influences; the walls of fissures may lie affected by excitements from a distance. it seldom happens that a vein shows in its outcrop the same appearance of metallic ores which are found a little way below the surface of the ground. (ialeuaand the various ores of silver especially have been leached away by the action of water aud the outcrop seems to be only a ridge of half decomposed quartz iron stained. The test of such probable mines are metallic sand, decomposed ores or fluccan at the outcrop. Mineral waters, trees or grass discolored, and the products of the drill are tests recognized and utilized by the intelligent prospector. Copper generally shows its presence by green aud blue stains over the surface. "Ah,' said the teacher, with a smil '*and wasn't your father very pleased with the new baby?"

B.C. ��� One of the very first duties of tlie new government, if we have any, will be to raise the rate of wages paid on government work in this district. The cost of living and other necessaries in this country demands the raise. It is ridiculous to expect a man to work for the same wages in hero as at the Coast or even Kevelstoke. $3.50 is little enough for tiny good man in tlie Lardeau. And then ho will mnko no fortune, if be has to keep and educate a family. The EAGLE believes that our new member will do his share towards affecting the much needed change. What ever the results may be, politicians of every stripe are beginning to find out that the electors of to-day are doing more thinking for themselves than in years .gone- by. The only candidates that will stand any show of being honored with election in future in the mainland are those who sincerely propound the most socialism in their platform. It Is useless trying to scare men to vote this way or that. 13e the consequences what they will leaders who are the most in favor of the whole people owi- monopolies will receive tho suffrages ot the masses in this province. This mixed state of affairs has thrown the mining industry into an unsettled condition. The next best thing to do is to either let us have the rest of the socialistic program and be done with it, or go back to the old way. This half-and-half business is disastrous to all alike. The arena needs cleaning. Let it be done at once so that all the people can again get down to business. Imperial Bank ^fc��.^of Canada. CAPITAL AUTHORIZED, J'2,500,000.00.
