While tho Lardeau district is receiving mire or less attention on evory
hand, the country just over the mountain range east of Ferguson���the Duncan river valley���promises to spring
into prominence at no distant date.
Tbe Eacile is enabled this week to
give some interesting news from that
section. K. (Jreokwell and Col. VV. C.
Bing, who were prospecting over there
last season, left Rossland again tbis
year on July 10th, via Nelson and Duncan Ci'tC'i for Hall's Landing. From
there tbey packed tbeir supplies to the
junction of the west fork and Duncan
over tho government trail. Here they
found the bridge gone, broken by
weight of snow, and tho stream too
broad to fall a tree across. They concluded to cross overasnowslido further
up and go on over the mountain to
Grouse creek, the lirst big creek on the
right bank of Duncan river, ub"ut six
miles up. Tbey took 542 pounds of
provisions, including blankets, steel
and powder, 4,000 feet up the mountain
in four trips, then circled round just

They reached Duncan rivor on August
7th, and found a stream from 100 to 200
feet wide, roaring and boistrous, whore
they felled 11 troos beforo ono stuck,
and this ono at an angle of 45 degraos,
only three-quarters across tbe current.
Tbey kept falling trues until tiiey managed to cross witb their packs on the

dangerous crossing. After that tbey

formation; cut by slate dykes, both
heavily impregnated with cube iron,
some of the cubes boing over an
inch thick. Through this schist
in a Hurl luv.'ftt and southeast
direction runs u series of parallel quartz veins, lilling true lis-
surcs, both banging and foot walls
boing free. In a distanoo of 100
feet thoy counted 27 of those veins from
4 inches toll ft. in width, all showing
galena, copper 'and iron. The main

created a new scries of leads, which

two weeks around the Old Gold and
Duncan rivor valley and is now more
thoroughly convinced than ever that
tho Lardo-Dulican section must soon
como to tho front, providing the locution of Immense ore bodies farms any
factor in the advancement of a worthy

desire, and next season may sec hi**

In all probability tho present gold

C-oepol tho government auditor, will

entirely satisfactory to nil in this district. Thc new (���overumont auditor

One of the most interesting trips it
bas ever been tlie EAGLE'S pleasure to
take was from Ferguson to the head of
Brown creek, via Triune creek and
over the Triune glji-fciortothe Morning
Star, Triune Fragtlon and I. X. L.
properties on the Brown creek slope.
The wagon road between hero and
Ten-Mile, six miles, is now in splendid
shape, and no diffloulty is encountered
by the ore-hauling teams as was tho
case last year. Tiie trail from Ten-
Mile to the Triuno mine is also in good
condition considering the traffic it has
to bear and itrf newness. After salsify-
ing the inner man at tho Triune
cabins, with mine host R. T, Bury, thc
EAGLE man, in company with Andrew
Ferguson, climbed to the workings
above, and there wo received surprises
enough to last us for the season. For
never beforo have we seen such extensive bodies of clean high grade silver-
lead ore. In the old upper workings,
wbero we had visited last season, in
the workings below, and what is most
important, in the lower workings; huge
bodies of ore woro '..eing minnd. The
ledgo was only tapped last week in tiie
long tunnel, but tho day we visited tbe
property every shot was increasing the
ore body in the face, and tho ore
becoming more like that encountered
abovo. The ledgo is about five feot
wide, witli a foot or more of clean oro
on tho foot*.wall and from two to four
inches of carbonates on tbo hanging
Wall, whilo between a rusty cork-like
v^'hito quart/ was with every shot
pitching out and thus widening tho
ore\body. It was surely a sight for
pessimists. Any person who can visit
this m\ine and not be convinced of tbis
camp's\ capabilities is indeed intently
blind, nor never has thero been a
bigger Ittigh-gradesllver-lend producer
found in all Canada. If not America.
Below tbo lower workings is ,ji big
surfaco shewing of romowhat lower
grado ore. Where stripped It appears
to lie an offshoot from tho main ledge.
But with the commencement of along

being packed up aud tbo oapaelty of
tho present cabins will be doubled,
thus placing the owners, Ferguson
brothers, in a position to work moro
men, and there is certainly room for
lots of them underground now. At
presont the force is only from sixteen
to twenty niflt). A. P. Cummins, 1'. h,

From the upper workings of tbo

More a parallel lead to the Triune's.
(the same lead on the Triune creek side
as Vince Lade staked a good thing on a
few weeks ago), is easily traceable
down the west slope of a second draw
right to the Brown creek bottom and
on up over the opposite slope, upon
which other promising properties aro
located. Ou the I. X. L. a forco of
ten men aro now working, the property
having recently been bonded to Minnesota parties on working terms. A
cabin has been built, the roughness of
the weather having necessitated this,
supplies put in, and work has only
fairly started, but tho ledge is showing
up fairly well and a fow sacks of ore
from the foot wall aud carbonates from
tbe hanging wall havo already been
sacked. It is too early as yet, how*
ever, to determine tbe future value of
the property.
From these workings we retraced
our steps to the Triune mino, and
arrived back in Ferguson late tbe
same evening, having made tho entire
trip in the one day.

that though we fill our pockets with

for thi** camp was never so bright.
There was a time in tlie history of tho

owned by a>i old country company and
subjected to the usual manipulation.
Tho Nettie L. mino next sprung into
prominence, an 1 has been a drawing

shareholders hold a controlling interest in it, it is under practical management and gradually becoming one oT
the biggest silver-lead producers in the

requisite to make it a regular daily

mino in Canada with siieh capabilities
as are possessed in tho Triune. Noxo

The product of this mine will, how-
] ever, not create much railway tonnage

there is not the shadow of a doubt but
what tho railway will be extended to

there will bo morn mon working in tho

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1901.
No reasonable writer should find
fault with this or that man or corporation for amassing wealth at the
expense of its employes. Under the
system of competition there is nothing wrong about it, nor does the
Eagle blame them for taking
advantage of the opportunities
offered. But we do think the
electors who permit such a system
to exist are exceedingly blind to
their own interests to say the least.
Were the whole people to adopt the
same business principles as the
private operator or trust���and discard present-day politics���the same
results would be attained, except of
course that the millions of accrued
profit would go into the public
treasury for public purposes. Were
the people's trust to go into bi si-
ness this old earth would he near
enough a paradise tor the average
person. There would then be less
neeJ of making drafts on the next
world to create a temporary feeling
of "joy that passeth all understanding." Competition and profit are
the two most damnable evils of
society to-day. Eliminate both, ai d
the human family will rise to a
higher and nobler standard. To
place the accumulation of money
above joy and happiness is unbecoming a people of twentieth century enlightenment. Money, rather
than the spirit ol love, must needs
be our God under a competitive
system. And unless Canadians
soon undertake the ownership and
control of private monopolies, and
enter into business along tHe same
lines as these preferred socialists,
they will be tace to face with Ihe
undesirable conditions now existent
in Uncle Sam's domain. But will
we take warning and profit by their
sad experience ? New Zealand has
adopted enough of the people's trust
program to pronounce it the only
solution, but here we are, waiting
apparently for the same crisis that
brought that colony to a sense of its
duty. From present indications,
however, it is most probable that
British Columbia will be lhe first to
feel the chaos, and enact the remedy,
disgruntled stock manipulators,
sleepy politicians, and greedy private corporations to the contrary
notwithstanding.

with       suppositions,       attributing

management would not pay. for the
shoe leather worn out in visiting
their property���let alone the newspaper space and type composition.
But the Eagle will always be tound
giving the mining news of this camp
for the benefit of its many subscribers and when they cease to appreciate our honest efforts in this
direction we will close up shop and
give someone else a show to stay
broke while continuing the good
work. Accusations, promises, talk
and drafts on the future are cheap,
but it takes money to pay printers
and bank managers.
If there is a mining man in the
Slocan who does not believe that
the government should build a
refinery we do not know his name,
says the Paystreak. Men who have
spent the best years of their lives
learning the business and have invested all the money they are worth
in mines are free in declarations
that relief can be found only in a
government refinery. Mining superintendents, managers, stockholders, foremen and workingmen who
know their business in all its dips,
spurs and angles are unanimous   in
roads and trails in this district for
the past two .seasons. Instead of
spending a tew dollars here an <)
there, a sufficient.amount has been
provided to put a bottom in mosi
ol the trunk roads and trails. The
wagon road between here and
Thomson's Landing will serve as an
instance. Last year some $8,000
was spent upon it (supposing it was
Joseph Martin) and this year practically no repairs have had to be
made. And it is well known that
had the old policy of patching been
in vogue the freighters would still
be cussing and all concerned inconvenienced. The new order,
entirely meets with the approval of
experienced trail builders in this
district.
The sad news of President Mc-
Kinley's unfortunate death was
received here by telephone on Saturday evening, and the expressions
of grief and sympathy on every
hand were unanimous, as much so
as when Queen Victoria passed
away and this is saying a good
deal. Theodore Roosevelt, will be
the succeeding president, the third
vice-president who has been mad*

investing public. Properties originally acquired for a few thousand
dollars were turned over to companies at as many millions. . When
the funds of one company ran out
another was formed to take over its
assets at a still larger figure, and
thus a profit was made by both the
manipulators and the original
shareholders. Shares were transferred to one company and then
resold at a margin to another,
owned practically by the same
people. But all this corruption
could not go on indefinitely, and the
crash came. A ledge of pure gold
wilh a mint thrown in could not
pay dividends on such outrageous
capitalizations. Until responsible
parties, more concerned in the
development of mines than the stock
exchange, acquire and operate the
big mines of Rossland that unfortunate city will be a hacknumber.
The unanimous manner in wh'ch
the interior press took upT.ios.
McNaught's idea of formulat;ng a
newspapermen's association was
deemed sufficient tor Mr. McMaught
to call a lormal meeting at the
Halcyon Hot Springs Sanilarium on
Monday, Sept. 30th. The congress
will last from Saturday to Tuesday.
The Eagle heartily accepts the
invitation, and it the walking holds
out we'll be there.
It appeals to the Eagle that more
local men should co-operate and
develop some of our many mining
properties in this camp. Outside
of sales very few local men have
made a dollar. There may be no
surplus money on hand, but even
labor combined would serve the
same purpose, and we fee! certain
the supply part of the deal could
easily be arranged. At present
eastern and old country capitalists
stand to make practically all the
big money out of our mines. Why
not co-operate and turn a lew prospects into shippers ourselves ?
Scab Italians imported by the C.
P. R. during the trackmen's strike
are raising several brands of hell
along the main line. Shooting
sticks and fighting is their long
suit. If some of them prove to be
anarchists and a few government
officials or some of the Royal party/
are murdered hy them, who will bi
morally responsible ?

Wm. MaoAdaras of the Sandon Paystreak, is away eaBt on a six weeks'

"There is jest as warm a heart, jest
as big a soul, jest as much virtue in

is in the butterfly belle of society; an1
if she does it to lighten the load of the

worthy of u heap more honor than the

The day has passed wben the people

The Revelstoke Station post office
hns been dropped from the official list

Tho editor of the Trout Lako Topic
has acquired a ranch bordering on
Trout lake and is building a bouse and
making ready to devote his entiro time
to that vocation. Wise move, Johnny.
Tho Topic may cease publication now
at any time, but it will be necessary to
announce it of course, else the remaining half dozen delinquents never
miss it.
The dash of boow on the mountain
tops, the early mo-ning coolness and
the smile on the coul-dealer's face all
indicate the fact that the restless hand
of timo has again pushed us up against
the stern reality of buying more fuel.
It was over thus. Warmed by the sun

Tho labor organization not only
helps thoso who belong to it, but It
also helps those who are not members.
For even those on the outside share to
a greater extent in the better wages,
the shorter Hours and tbe more favorable conditions secured by the labor
organizations, "if unions or federations
make mistakes it must bo remembered
that perfection is not to be expected In
any work of human hands. The good
done l��y theso organizations far outweigh the oi'i'oi's whieh thoy have
committed.���The Commoner,
"There is ono thing involved in tho
industrial dispute, and only one, that
is clear to all, and that is that the
tendency of tho times is decidedly in
tbo direction of either communal or
corporate ownership of public utilities.
Tho individual isn't in it in the pinna
of the future. Ho is rapidly losing tho
Ownership of his necessities and has all
but lost their coutrol. He is becoming
a mero machine in the affairs of tho
world. Ho'seos the struggle between
communal and corporate ownership is
everything���a struggle that will become moro vigorous and violent with
years���and it is not improbable that he
will be called upon sooner than ho
expects to lino himself up In the contest. It is a pity that tho Individual
cannot huvo moro of tho ownorshlpand

untended for him, according to bis

FERGUSON
Is the Coining Solid Town of the
Lardeau and Trout Lake District
Because of its unique geographical position; nature having provided as pretty a flat bench, at
the junction of the north and
south forks of Lardeau creek, as
ever a town was built up on in
British Columbia.
Because the Nettie L. Double
Eagle, Ophir-Lade, Silver Cup,
Triune, Metropolitan, Sunset,
Lone Star, Comstock and other
properties will operate the year-
round hereafter, and this winter
will see probably 400 men at
work, over 200 of which will be
engaged on the properties of
the first three named.
B B C A USB
Because the shipping mines are
located on Nettie L. hill, between the two creek forks; on
the Great Northern hill just
north of the town itself; and on
the south fork and its tributaries,
for all of which Ferguson is the
supply point.
Because mine owners hire their
crews in Ferguson and pay them
off in Ferguson.
Because the offices of many of
the companies operating in the
camp are located here,
Because Ferguson receives the
pay roll benefit from these working mines.
Because this is the point where
mining men coming into the district make their headquarters; .,is
they can walk or ride and return
from most of the properties in
one day or less.
Because every pound of ore from
these mines coming down lhe
hill lands first in Ferguson.
From here it will be learned to
transportation on the lake, ;l
distance of four miles.
Because when the railway reaches
the place where the mines are ii
will reach Ferguson,
Because there is every natural advantage for thc building up of a.
great mining center.
But why give other reasons: We have the mines, the pay roll, the natural geo*
graphical location, unlimited water power, etc., and the right kind of people to make
a town. The ore shipments, increasing business, and money and enterprise will do thc
rest.   Come and see for yourself.
