These two groups, consisting of four
claims, along tbe same ledge, came
into some prominenoe last July. They
furnish another Instance of how it
pays the owners of prospects to do
their legitimate assessment work.
Prior to the past season, practically
no work had been done on those claims
although they had been staked and
COULD SHIP WITB A RAILWAY
A Splendid Opportunity For Men
With Money to Invest.���Enough
Development Work   Has  Been
Done To  Prove the Property's
Value.���A Deal Now Pending.
One of the earliest locations in this
camp was the Black Warrior, situated
at the head of Macdonald ereek.    Tom
Horn staked it in the early Ws and
has remained with it ever since.   He
has now one of the  most promising
properties in this camp.  We had often
hoard the Black warrior spoken of, by
those who saw it,  as having the beBt
surface showir.gs in  this  district.   It restaked for years.   Last June Messrs.
came our way to have the opportunity Carter and Thompson did their assessor looking over this property a few ment work on the Sunset group and
weeks  ago and  really we were   sur- uncovered a fine showing of ore.   This
prised that such a proposition, for so
long, should have been overlooked by
men representing capital.
The owner rightly considered his
property too good to be handed over to
the tender mercies of any stock-jobbing
concern for a small cash consideration
and stock, and as he has the best of
reasons for having faith in it, he can
well afford to bide his time.
When mining men have picked up
the available properties within easy
range, they will get over their reluct-
ancy to go out of their way a little and
will extend their field of operation to
larger circles hero.
For a mining man to see  thin property means  that  he  will  be almost,
certain to take hold of it on the very
reasonable terms which  tbe owners
,   offer.
There aro now four claims in the
��� group with fine showings of ore on
three of the claims and abundance of
timber on the fourth. Tbe ledge
itself, which can be readily traced
across tho length of three claims, has
a distinct wall about 60 feet from one
of the several strata of limo which run
through that belt of country.. A wido
belt of slate forms the contact alone
this wall, and the parts of the ledge
along the Blato consists largely of
quartz. The whole of this strip of
(10 feet, however, lying between tbe
slate and the lime seems to bo ledge
matter and consists of graphite shale
with stringers and lenticular masses
of quartz throughout.
Considerable prospecting work has
been done along the line of stripping
the ledgo and thiB work has uncovorcd
the outcrop of a magnificent oro chute
some 50 or 60 foet in length and from I
two to three feet in width situated
along the contact of the ledge with the
slate.
Mr. Home started a tunnel on the
ledge below to tap this ore chuto at
some depth, and at tho time of our
visit waB in about 200 ft. and getting
near bis objective point. In the last
10 feet of his work, ore has been com
ing In which has boen very encouraging, and thero is scarcely any doubt
bnt that with 40 or 50 ft. moro work
on that tunnol and some crosscuttlng,
Tom will have attained tho object
of his work.
The oro consists of galena with a
small proportion of yellow coppor and
runs from 120 to 160 ozs. of silvor to the
ton, with from 60 to 65 per cent, lead.'
A good pack trail leads from Ferguson to the Black Warrior cabin, so
that, although oh the Duncan slope,
the property is easily reached from
here.
The Duncan, however, is tbe natural
outlet. The trail built up that river
during the past season is now only a
short distance from the mouth of Macdonald creek. The advent of tho K.

induced them to do some work on their
other properties on the same ledge,
with tho result that good showings of
ore   were encountered   on  both the
Comstock and  the Richmond claims.
The ledgo on these properties lies in
tho contact between lime and schist,
and is   from 3 to 6 ft. in width.   The
ledge  mutter consists of quartz and
oalcite and is mineralized throughout
with galena, copper pyrites and iron
pyrites, so that the whole could  be
worked as a concentrating proposition.
As yet it is difficult to say whether
the galena or copper pyrites will predominate.     Both   of   these  minerals
carry sufficient of the precious metals,
to make them valuable.   The galena,
carrying from 50 to 70 per cent, lead,
has a silver content varying from 35 to
75 ozs, to the ton, while copper pyrites-
containing from 20 to 25 per cent. cop-
per,   carries  gold  and  silvor  valuos
varying from $3 to $12 and from 8 to 12
ozs. respectively to tho ton.
The Golden Link Company, which is
now operating the Sunset group, has
had two men at work for about a month
and tho property is showing up very
encouragingly indeed. The men are
driving a tunnel on the ledge and when
we visited the property last week the
whole face of the tunnel consisted of
well-mineralized ledge matter, with
about a foot of almost clean oro along
the foot-wall.
From surface indications there Is
very littlo doubt but that just as encouraging results may be the outcome
of a fair amount of work done on either
thc Comstock or the Richmond-Hope
group.
All   of  those   properties  nre most
conveniently Bltuated and are excellent
| tunnelling propositions, it being possiblo  to drive on and prove tbe lodge
from tho start.
Tho taking hold of theso properties
by livo companies will in all probability mean dividends in the near
future , new life to mining operations
up the north fork next season and the
establishing of a thriving littlo mining
town at Circle City.

judsc.   Tho lists for the present election are based on tho provincial lists
used at tho time of the last election.
It should bo borne in mind that the
labor voto swept this district everywhere at the time of the Juno election.
This was so in Rossland, in Nelson, in
Slocan, in   Revelstoke, in  Kamloops
and in Cariboo,���and it probably influenced, to somo extent, tho result in'
East and West Yale.   In view of these
facts it is astonishing to find amateur
politicians making  vain-glorious and
empty predictions.     Of  course, such
wild prophecies   are   not  unusual   at
such a timo, but they are invariably
based on something more serious aod
substantial than haphazard conjecture.
Mr. Foley has the benefit of an effective  organization, in   touch   with   the
voters,   and in this   respect  has  admittedly a great advantage ovor other
of his opponents.���Rossland Miner.

move," said Mr. Westfall to
an Eagle reporter, "and once this is
done, which seems certain for next
spring, both hore and up the Duncan
river, I believe you will see the Rossland rush repeat itself. It is rather a
pity though that mining men and
investors hang back this way, for
really the time to get in on ground
floor propositions is now, before the
increased activity sets in, for then, as
you know, everything, real estate and
all, will take a raise in price."
Well you people seem to have mado
good progress in tbe Old Gold camp,
said the reporter.
"Yes, indeed wo have. We have
paid out in actual cash for development, supplies, etc., nearly $15,000;
but I hope to expend at least twice
that amount or more next season,"
replied Mr. Westfall. "Our force of
men at tho mine are hard at work
right now, and if my interview with
Great Northern railway otlicials means
anything, it means that wo will enjoy
railway transportation for our ore output next season. This being the case
there is no end to the possibilities in
store for tho Old Gold camp."
"I also waited upon the Kaslo board
of trade and other mon in regard to the
trail partly built up Duncan river last
summer,  and  I  received   assurances
from   them that the completion of this
good   worK   would  be one of the first
Horns taken up by R.  F. Green, M. P.
P.,next, spring.    With  this trail completed, and reached by the Old Gold
trail  we ourselves built this fall, men
coming into the  district  from either
end will bo able to go out tho opposite
way and thus cover tlie same ground
but  once,   and,   not  tlio   least of it,
demonstrate to them   tlie   richness of
this vast mineral belt,.    I feel cortain
that this inlet and outlet will ho appreciated by  all  oonoerned,   Tho Kaslo
pcoplo aro alive to its importance, and
of course  will  mako a bid  for the
upper Duncan supply trade; the Great
Northern   having built and pi need on
the lake a magnificent steamer for this
purposo."
Mr. Westfall is not in the prophetic
business, but ho has every confidence
that next season   will be the best one
ever experienced in this district.   And
the advent  of   railway  construction
will tend to  import  new   blood, new
money, new enterprise and with it new
finds,   deals,    strikes,    shippers   and
dividend payors.   With the'invigorating effect of making a visit amongst
outside mining men   who ure largely
interested in the districts' future and
who think more and talk more of this
camp  thau   wo    Uo   ourselves,   Mr.

RELIABLE MAIL
SERVICE WANTED
While the EAGLE has no desire to
become a born kicker, we cannot help
drawing Post Olliec Inspector W. H.
Dorman's attention to the mail service meted out to this isolated but
none the less promising mining centre.
Tho EAGLE will quote one positive
instance of how our mails are need
lessly delayod in transmission. Tho
outgoing mail from Ferguson on November 14th, after lying ovor in Trout
Lake until thc next day, as per con
tract, reached Thomson's Landing at
12 a.m. on the loth. It remained in
Thomson's Landing until the following
day, the Kith. It was then taken to
Arrowhead by Fred. Robinson & Co.'s
steamer, arriving at 8:2") a.m.; and not
delivered to Post Master Newman at
Arrowhead until 9:45 a.m.) too late to
catch that day's steamer south. This
same thing has occurred half a dozen
times during the past modth.
Ts it any wonder that the long-sufl'er-
ing people of this district wish to
register a kick against such negligence"? How much longer are we to
be dictated to by the Poo-Bah captain
of this two-bit steamer ? If Fred.
Robinson & Co. do not get enough
money to carry the mail on scheduli-
time why do they take the contract at
ally A man with a row boat could
give a more reliable servico than the
present one.
Ferguson, aftor waiting patiently for
two or three days, receiver its mall,
and just 40 minutes is allowed for
answering purposes, so that tho mail
carrier can hustle back to Trout Lake
to remain 12 or Id hours more before
proceeding to the Landing. And then
on top of this the outgoing mail reaches
Arrowhead whenever the captain of
the boat sees fit.
The Eagle feels quite confident that
Manager Fred. Robinson has no knowledge of this reckless conduct by tbe
captain ; otherwise it would surely be
remedied Nor can wo see that Post
Master Newman is to blame. It is no
less a personage than King Roman.
Craig & Hltlmon are evidently fulfilling their contract; but the government must be induced to -pay more
money for the contract, or thero never
will be a satisfactory service. No one
should accept a contract unless they are
sufficiently remunerated for it by the
government.
It is not only thc mail service. Commercial travellers, business men and
all are inconvenienced time after time.
Only a few days ago A. O. Campbell,
president and manager of the Vancouver Hardware Co., left hero hurriedly to catch the 1 p. m. boat to
Arrowhead. Do you suppose that boat
loft on time ? No, not until five p.m.,
the passengers waiting at dcopwater
landing, over a mile from cover, all
that timo, Then Imagine thoir dismay when the captain announced that
ho was only going back to Comaplix
to tie ti ji for tho night. The passengers walked back lo tho Landing to
await tlio next morning's boat, and of
cour**o needlessly delayed twenty-four
hours. This is only one caso : there
are do/.ens oT others affecting our local
business mon. Patience ceases to be a
virtue with such a boat scrvleo as thi
It is quite true that tho sorvice is
good at times ; but it is quite apparent,
however, that this is when the captain
feels that way. Tho company owning
the boat plying on the Arm should at
east have a schedule���one that the
travelling public can rely upon.
It ds high time, therefore, that Inspector Dorman pay us another official
visit, and put these things right. It is
bad enough to be without a daily mail
service, but harder still to be without
a reliable service of any kind.
Where so many mining deals are
constantly being put through, with no
banking facilities here, and where
such important letters are being transmitted through the mails, it behooves
the postal department to look into this
matter at once.
Chris. Foley, atnong other things,
The Liberal party are sending
host of sp.olers to this riding to try
and capture GaHilier's election. By
the way, if the Liberals are such
friends of tho working men why not
let tho working men elect their own
representative?
When a man is climbing the hill of
life he is often given a lift by his comrades ; but once he reaches tho summit
and perchanco starts down the other
side, when he needs no help to reach
the bottom, too many are willing to
pounce upon and kick him further
down the trail of adversity.
The EAGLE entertains a doubt of the
man's sincerity who will buy a mining
claim without ever having seen it, or
paid a mining man whom ho could
trust tn report noon it. Tho man
floating a property he has nevor laid
eyes on savors a good deal with a
suspicion that he is not on thc square.

do.    That's why Foley will be elected,

Despite the fact that the Liberals

A man who can be bought off by the

If Foley is right speak out for him.
Round about Ferguson and other
mining centers in the Kootenay lie
many hundreds duly staked out, practically idle, mining claims. Some of
these havo been stocked and crown
granted in past years, but have remained unworked ever since and the shares
havo been scattered all over the continent, the holders patiently waiting
for something to turn up. Just what
lhe ultimate outcome will .be time

Tlie people of this riding are no

Mr. Robertson was in tho Lardeau a
fow weeks ago tho EAGLE drew his
attention to the fact that the lato

made a baseless attack upon Groat

dozens of local mining men know by

Worthy of Careful Consideration
By All Classes.
IT'S WHAT THS PEOPLE WANT
And the Old  Parties Are Unequal
to the Occasion.
To the Electors ofYale-Cariboo :
In requesting your support to ray candidacy
for the Dominion Houso of Commons, it is duo
to you that l give public expression to my
views on the several plankB of tho platform of
tho Independent Labor Party:
l. Compulsory education lias bocome a
recognized oocosaityin most countrioB and as
such liHsiny hearty endorsement.
'2,   Legal work day, 8 hours.
Modem Invention has so enormously InoreaS'
ed tho productive power of man that ills wants
I'nii be supplied with n fraction of tho time and
effort heretofore necessary for that purpose.
Labor as we'll ns capital sliould benefit by these
changed conditions. The 8-hour law is a step
in that direction and I shall heartily endorse
any legislation looking to that end.
it.  Government inspection of Industries.
Under modem economic conditions the management of industrial concerns figure on re*
. suits, not the methods by whieh they are to be
obtained. An oversupplicd labor market enables them to Impose on employes any conditions they may deem necessary. Protest as a
rule means dismissal from service and probable want to thoir little ones. In throwing the
strong arm of tlio law about those children of
misfortune you tire simply following the teach
Ings of the meek and lowly Jesus, who said
Buffer tho little ones to come unto me, for of
such Is the kingdom of heaven.
4. Abolition of con tract system.
Tho abuses that have grown up under tiie
contract system as outlined in the lirst Issue
of the Dominion Labor Gazette should convince
even the hide-bound partisan of the necessity
of thc enactment of such a law.
5. Public ownership of franchises.
Our experience in the control of the postal
department, public schools, public highways,
municipal lighting plants and (waterworks is
BUifleiont ground for tho extension of tho same
system to railroads, telegraph, telephone,and
express business. The experience of people in
New Zealand, Australia, Germany and else-
whorehaadcrnonsirated that these (unctions
can bejperformed by tlie government with a
vory great ndvantago to tho people and Imosl
heartily endorse legislation looking to that
cud.
5. Prohibition of Asiatic emigration and tlie
educational test.
Tlie presence here in large numbers of this
non-aasimllatlng race robs Canadian labor of
its birthright, Every Mongol'landing upon
our shores lessens rather than im reason our
population. Tlie white laborer which lie replaces would as a rule marry and settlu ainnug
us, increasing the population by ai luasl three.
This means lo tlio merchant les* m inths tu
feed, and less backs to clothe, to Iho doctor
less demands for his services, to the transportation companies less traffic, to the dentist less
teeth to fill, to the mechanic less buildings to
erect, to the real estate denier less demand for
property including loss force for Ihcsame, to
the farmer less salo for produce, to the newspaper man less papers to bo sold, to tho
preacher smaller congregatlona, and to the
hniilliliick fewer shoes to shine. Their presence
works injury to all branches of tho economic
system. I oppose tlieir cOmirfg here on the
game grounds I would ppposo the taking of
more passengers Into an open bon't already
loaded to the sinking lino in mid-Pacific.
livery Chinaman oceupylngn position hi domestic services interferes with the natural laws
as applying to the Industrial body, robbing onr
women of employment naturally belonging to
tbem to thc extent that for every Chinaman so
employed some one's sister or daughter Is
driven to prostitution, evolving a ra��o problem destined to breed sons of blood and that
will some day mantle tiie Canadian cheek
with abliHi for his roun try's shamo,
7. Abolition of child labor.
An economic system that drives the child
from lhe cradle to the factory to compote with
its own father is certainly the legitimate child
of an Industrial system having greed as its
basic principle. Legislation along l'nes opposed to this will receive my hearty support.
8, Abolition of tllO|200 deposit.
Under conditions whoro all are amenable to
the law and assume the responsibility of defending tho country's flag and institutions all
should he entitlod alike tn aspire to (he highest position In the gift of tlieir countrymen
Without being taxed for the privilege of .so do.
ing.   I would repeal that law.
ii.  Compulsory arbitration.
Compulsory arbitration as applied In Now
Zealand looms upon tho horizon of progress
not as a dream, but as a practical method of
reconciling the conflicting Interests of labor
and capital,and Is destined, l think, In the
near future, if applied, to prevent thoso period*
leal Industrial wars and lond a security io alt
branches of business such as Is Impossible
ttndor existing conditions and as quoh receives
my hearty approval.
10. Alleloctlo days lo bo mado public holidays,
l would also favor tho paosago of a law malting tho excrcls,-ni' the franchise compulsory
for tho following reasons: Pirsi -Mo.icy enn
and does ptmihuso tho vote* of iho drunkard,

Intelligent hut indifferent citizen would counterbalance this evil, nnd I believe J t Is as much

Is to pay his taxes. Iu limiting thin a compulsory duty yon aro simply compelling liiin to do
that by tho ballot which hu Is already compelled to do by tho bullet���defend the
institutions of his country.
12    Abolition of the .Scuiil1.
I look upon the upper house as a useless ami
extremely annoying political luxury, as a
stumbling block to progressive legislation,
homo for political imbeciles, who teem to havo

measure that passes the lower house- btands it
as heresy and proceed to pronounce lliescn*

pleased to know that things are so
bright in your district. You will have
some great mines. You have them
