Tlie C. P. R, engineers' ir
Platting Out Mr Townsite
Diicliesnay to be Made the Smelt-
ins; Centre of tlie Lardeau
Selkirk City, at the fool of Trout
Luke, is no inore 90 far as the name is
concerned. It is to be known, as soon
11s surveyed, as Duchesney, a fitting
tribute to Supt. Duchesney of Revelstoke. At least this v, as the impression
given a representative of the Eagle
who visited the new C. P. It. town last
Saturday. Two or three parties of
engineers are now engaged in survey
work, and a contraot will be let in a
fow days to slash and olear twenty-five
acres us a starter for tbe accommodation of tho new town. In tbe meantime
there is no property on the market, nor
will the company allow any squatting,
as they soom determined to locate tbe
townsite on the beat possible location,
aud in accordance with tbe railway
plans. It will not be long, however,
until these arrangements are all made,
aud the present dismal looking forest
will be converted Into one of the liveliest towns along ihe new line, since
the C. P. R. have decided 10 make it
thoir town.
The company aro securing water
rights, laying out a smelter site, and
otherwise making preparations to make
Duchesney the Trail of the Lardeau.
It's unique location, with coke and fluxing material on the one side, and the
right kind of ores in every direction;
besides being the relieving point for
Lardeau's freight, at once makes it 11
townsite of no mean importance.
The only place of business now open
is tho Hotol Andorson, owned and run
by Frank Fullmer, but ho too may have
to move his building at any time.
Several prospectors and property
ownors are knocking around and doing
assessment work in the vicinity of
Duchesney, and some fine oro samples
are being brought down from Canyon,
Tenderfoot and othor creeks, particu-
lary is this true of the Pedro group on
Canyon creek, where Messrs. J. W.
Westfall and Fred C. Elliott, of Trout
Lake, were looking over the ground on
Friday Hist. Thoy obtained somo
splendid specimens of gray copper ore,
in white quartz, one of which may be
seen in 1 his oflice.
From the fact that the C. P. B. in-
fend to make Duchesney the smelting
point of thu Lai deau, and having acquired a majority interest in the town-
site, i is reasonable to suppose that
there will bo unusual life and activity
in the Lar.leuu terminus upon the completion of tho road to tbe foot of Trout
lake thia full, if not sooner.
AN Ul.ll l'ROSPBCTOBB' HOB*.
N. E. Linsley, M. E., of Spokane, In
a letter to the Mining *s Scientific
Press, San Francisoo, urges tbe necessity for tbe establishment, at some fit
and proper point ln tbe j��,est, of a home
for old prospector^, on .similar lines to
the Old Man's Home at Kamloops, but
much more olaboi ate and wholly supported by the government. In conclusion Mr. Linsley says:
"When the home Is completed and
ready for the prospector, let him come,
cot as a medicant, but as an honored
guest, and there, in his declining years,
ho will live in tho past. In the wreaths
of Binoke from his pipe he wilt again
soo the stampede of oxcited prospectors
und miners hurrying to some reported
rich lind. Again ho will climb to tho
top of the highest mountain peak and
fool sorry for the millions of people
who havo lived and diod and novcr hud
one' breath of fresh air like this,   Uo
will again be mending his shoes by his
camp fire and tbe pine squirrel will
talk to bim from the branches above.
The waterfall, the beautiful lakes, the
deep forest and 'Tolling bills will all
pass in review. Nature has kindly provided that tbe dark spots ln his memory
gradually disappear, leaving the bright
ones brighter as he grows older. He
has nearly outlived his usefulness, but
he is entitled to a comfortablo home
far removed from the bill collector.
Lot him smoko his pipe and live over
again those days of full vigor and manhood!
WILLIAM  K. BUSS, DKCEA9KI),
The sudden death of an esteemed
citizen, William E. Ross, last Saturday
morning, caused from heart failure
brought on by asthma, was a sorrowful
surprise to Lardeaultes. The deceased
was a Mason, a Knight of Pythias, and
a member of the Railway Trainmen,
having for years boen a conductor between Donald and Kamloops, a situation which he threw up on account of
ill health. He was Interested in some
good mining properties in this camp.
His parents live in Chatham, Ont. Tlio
local Masons at once communicated
with his friends and the Rovelstoke
lodgo, who wired for the remains to bo
sent to Revelstoke, from where they
wero forwarded east. The'resolution
of condolence passed at the last meeting of the Miners' union Is tho expression of his many Intimate friends and
acquaintances iu this camp.
A BLOW TU BLUK-KCINITJCS.
We are Informed that Spokane capitalists interested in tbo Sullivan mine,
have formed a syndicate for the building of a smelter on Mark creek, near
Marysvllle. It is said that a large
amount of the stock for the project has
already been subscribed for.��� Fort

seems that the government discovered
they hud no authority for putting
specials on, but tbat thoy should have
been sworn In under tbo Dominion act.
Thore aro a number of Strnthconas acting as specials. Thoy wore sent from

nays; that is when the fly season is on.
Tho Americans can und do successfully
turn prospects into mines aud mines Into dividend-payers, but they aro also
considerably of tho shark, and their
overpowering tasto for suokers leads
them into a temptation they fail to resist.
If the EAGLE is not mistaken tho
Rossland Jump experience is to bo repeated In the Lardoau. Hero American capital Is practically all wo have,
except ono or two companies, ono u
Canadian und tbe other from Suckor-
villc, a suburb of London, Eng. And
ovory season is witnessing new American capital coming into the Lardeau.
Why? Because they will mako mines
and then repent the Ros&land dose, and
skip to whoro they came from with tho
proceeds. You seo thero's more money
In it this way. Tho American soouros
a $500 prospect, turns it into a $25,000
mine and soils it, to an English company for a 9100,000 or $150,000. Dead
easy, when you know the rounds and
have enough monoy to start in with.
After the fool old countryman finds
out thut he doesn't know the A. B. C.
of mining and shys clear entirely, or
hires men who do understand, regardless of cousins, etc., the practical
western mining men will get in and
drill.
At presont wo aro pestered to death
by men who pose as mining experts,
mine-managers, otc, when in reality
thoy are nothing but u pack of floccers,
stock manipulators and calamity howlers; tho latter becauso ilic jig Is about
up with them. People uro getting noxt
to these scoundrels, tho curse of any
country, if allowed a voice in what our
laws shall be.
The roally practical and businessliko
mining men are still sawing wood, say-
ing very littlo und uwniting the adjustment of certain conditions which
really do hurass tbo industry, namely;
the rise In price of silver and load, tlio
establishment of entire homo treat-
mont, and In the case of tho Landeau
district cheaper transportation facilities.
Unfortunately tho stock manipulators, gamblers, fleecers, and pig-headed
mine-managers have all kinds of
monoy, which they havo extracted
from tho innocent stock buyer in tlie
past, and they aro now using it In buying up the press, so that if possible
they can get things to thoir liking in
this provinco. We would bo well rid
of the whole nost of thcin. And at the
rate they aro getting their just dos-
sorts this will soon bo accomplished,
aftor which the legitimate mining man
may have a clianco to do something,
There uro too many people out with
the long mitt for mining in tho main to
be much of u success at present in
many eases. It's not oro thoy want,'
but merely a few neatly lithographed
stock certificates to flim-flam the unsuspecting public with���men who are
looking for something for nothing.
The mining arena offers great chances
for crooked work, and it's being worked
for ull there's in it by too many. As a
result tho investing public havo been
aroused. They want some return for
their money. And it's not forthcoming. They are doing the investigating
now which they should huvo done before thoy bought stock. And of course
the fleecers ure being found ont.
We havo been sowing our wild outs
in this provinco for tho past five years;
and as a natural consequenco we ure
to-dny reaping the harvest. But the
legitimato raining operator's day is
coming, nnd that boforo very long.
Experience do teach slowly, but she do
be n grert nnd mighty toucher.
If Road Work Is Let by Contract
tha Trouble   Will Be
Settled.
The chances uro the Nettie L, wagon
road will yet bo lot by contract. Tho
government made n start on the work,
but a few days ago the men quit work,
refusing to work for $2.50 a day, and
pay for a cook. If thc work Is let by
contraot, $3.00 a day will bo paid, and
there will bo more work accomplished
for the money than would otherwise he
tho case. The principle of doing work
by day labor is right; but the government nor anyono olso cannot hope to
get "men" to work for less than $3.00
a day in this camp. If a contractor
who will do moro for tho money, can
pay $3.00 nt n profit to himself, wouldn't
u government also profit by doing the
sumo? Tho government paid $3.00 lust
yenr; but now they arc seeking no votes
and low wages cut no figure with them.
But it will, und bofore long too. The
government is very small potatoes indeed when it fulls to pay tho going
���vage of a camp. It sliould bo the last
to cut wages, and tho lirst lo sot a wage
standard. Rather than have $2.50 a
day as tho wugo scale, the road work
had bettor he let by contract, to men
who will pay fair wages and do more
work for less money than the government. This should not bo the case, but
it Is nevertheless,
THE LARDEAU STANDS PAT.
"A fenturo of tho Slocun during tho
lust few weeks," said Mr, Hickey,
manager of the Ivanhoe, to u Minor reporter in Rossland tlio other day, "is
thp number of minors and prospectors
who have left Sandon and othor Slocan
towns for the Lardeau district. I suppose there havo boen anywhore from a
100 oo 150 mon pulled out for tho new
district, the rush having been excited
by tho railroad work and consequent
guarantee of railroad facilities. .Many
of theso men already huvo locations in
the Lardeau and will do assessment
work, whilo othors will prospect the
country during the summer,"
Now who is to pay the "specials" on
tho C, P, K. for thc timo thoy wore
wrongfully engaged?

The mining' situation in tho Lardeau
this week gives nothing of particular
nolo to record. Assessment and development work is beingsteadily pushed
along ; more pack horses are leaving
town with supplies than usual, and,
each day the town is becoming apparently quieter, as tho men drift out into
the hills to work or prospect. A small
strike was made last Saturday in the ,
Union .Jack crosscut; work is being
pushed along slowly on all the old
reliables; a street rumor is in circulation that the Nettie L. has been sold
to an old country company at a bit;
figure, but lacks verification at this
writing; a good showing has bee::
found on tho Alpine group on Silver
Cupliill; Vincent Lado has taken up
mon to work on tho famous Triune;
the Lade and Gunn brothers have gone
to work on their big gold property, the
Lade group; the Metropolitan and
Sunset forces uro pegging away : A. J.
Gordon has commenced his contract on
the Comstock group; and dozens and
dozens of claim owners arc doing
essmeut and prospect work hero an.',
thero  throughout  the   camp.
The season is late, few outsiders aro
coming in as yet; trail and road bulldog seems to be at a standstill; the1
railway is coming; and tho government that reduces hotel licenses and
'Rises tho taxes on tho mining and
timber industry Is still holding office.
Tho country generally is as dead as
the Conservative party, and the air is
full of "strikes'' and industrial unrest.
Verily wo are a lot of chumps to allow
unfair representation, mining swiuu-
lera, and moss-back incapable legislators to bring about such >a general
state of stagnation. But bolieving
that all things will -como to thoso who

ENGLISHMAN MAKE
DISMAL FAILURES
Is It any wonder that British capital is becoming scarce in this province? When an investor invests his
good money, naturally he expects
.some return, but when he dcesn'tget
back his principal, let alone interest,
can we expect him to die a sucker,
just for the sake of remaining interested in mismanaged and overman-
aged mines in British Columbia.
The people of London and elsewhere have proved to be easy marks
for the unscrupulous promoter.
Three hundred dollar properties have
been secured by promoters and
turned over to old country companies at Irom $20,000 to $100,000.
Alter expensive organization, comes
a host ol chappie clerks, officials,
etc., generally relatives ot some of
tlie suckers in London, who draw
salaries and wear yellow leggings
and eye-glasses. Other companies
may creep before they walk, but not
so with and English mining company. They are on the run from
their inception. Calamity howlers,
richly paid mine-managers, and
blue-ruinites cannot save them from
ultimate destruction. The truth of
the matter is they don't savvey mining and it seems as though large
doses of experience is slow in teaching them the art. And as soon as
one of the Englishmen does gel
next to a few things lie generally
uses this knowledge to formulate
another white elephant company and
thus continue the good work of
ileecing their friends in London.
There is something radically wrong
with the works. On the one hand
wc find American companies, with
sxperienced and economical management, making a success of their
operations in this province, while on
the other the very opposite condition seems to prevail. It i�� just
possible that the sooner we have a
clay of reckoning the better. Ross-
landers may well curse the day
when the dividend-payers, made by
Americans, were turned into large
white elephants through passing
into the hands of Englishmen. And
the same can be said of the whole
province. Old country capital is all
rightwhile it lasts - providing you're
In on It���but the ultimate results
nre questionable. In the face of
these plain facts why is this province to handsomely pay an agent-
general in London, whose duty it
will be to induce some more of these
unfortunate dupes to go into something they know absolutely nothing
about-  mining.
|on. Does anyone suppose for a
j minute that Jesus Christ would become president of the steel trust,
unless all his people were shareholders. Thc Eagle is of the opinion that Jesus Christ would not
tolerate "competition" for twenty
four hours were he on earth to-day
How can a man love his neighbor
as himself under a competitive state
of society? The huge trusts of to
day���selfish socialists, are proving
what co-operalion can and will do
for the people, when the people
[own them. The sooner the pulpit
joins the progressive press of to-day
in thc battle for equality by co-operation, the sooner will it become in
closer touch with the whole people
and consistent with Jesus Christ's
teachings. Money must needs be
our God under existing conditions;
for without money we must go
under. "The survival of the fittest"
is no teaching ol Jesus Christ's.
That natural instinct within us to
look to a supreme being, an ideal
higher, better and nobler than we
ourselves are, is one of the grandest
privileges we have to-day; but in the
meantime the bank manager will
not cash our dratts on eternity.
Too many preachers are prone to
deal with the "effect" of sin, rather
than the "cause." It's all very well
to talk in the pulpit of ihe awfulness
of this or that crime, but how many
preachers ever tell their audiences ol
the conditions which lead men up
to their oft times sad ending. To
teach us to become meek and humble, and bear our conditions without a squirm, sounds well; but the
further organization, by the few, of
'he means of production goes merrily
When the trackmen and bridge-
men win their strike on the C. P.
R., only a matter of a few davs
now, this system will be one of the
best organized roads in America, as
perfect as the organization ol the
company itself.
Naturally gold finds create more
or less excitement and cause a rush
in this or that direction, but1-too
often gold finds exist only in the
vivid imagination of outsiders. The
big reliable veins of high-grade silver-lead ore, carrying small gold
values, found in this camp will be
doing business when the gold seekers are still seeking. There may
not be as much in the silver-lead
propositions immediately, but in the
long run they will compare favorably with the gold producers as dividend-payers.
Nothing will more fully conserve
the interests of the mining industry
than the application of correct business methods in securing capital for
investment, says the Western Mining World. Successes attained in
this direction at the expense of unfair play prove expensive in the long
run. Deals that involve large investments of capital in "sure thing"
propositions invariably react when
the sure thing feature disappears.
It is not so much the dishonesty of
promoters as their unbridled enthusiasm and lack of judgment and
foresight in many instances that
leads them to exaggerate the opportunities offered, and thus induce
capital to take hold in the belief
that failure is an impossibility,
The people of Canada should own
and operate the C. P. R. and all
other monopolies. Some may argue
that there is too much room left for
political corruption. But the history
of trades-unionism has proved that
they have something to say about
this, Speaking of this subject the
Revelstoke Herald says: "In fact
there can be very little doubt that
once aroused to a possible danger
from this quarter the unions would
promptly render dismissal for purely
political reasons an impossibility.
Unjust dismissal is one of the very
points in their relations wilh the employers, from which unionism protects union men. Railway employes
are divided in their political allegiance it is true but self interest is
stronger than politics as any government that would attempt to play the
merry game of decapitation, whicli
the politicians now carry on wilh
impunity in the civil service, would
very soon find out. Organization
rimong railway employes has rendered the service to society of removing this danger from the path
oi state ownership."
The labor world is full of possi-
bililies.    All ihe C. P. R.'s Oriental I
laborers  are joining  the unions by
hundreds.    It's all off now.
 WRITE AT ONCE
It must have been Joseph Martin
who gave Attorney-General Eberts
the nudge as to the provincial
government having no authority to
swear in specials on the C. P. R.
where none were needed.
Every cent of capital coming into
the Lardeau district this season for
investment is from the American
side. And if the operators are not
too unexperienced the Lardeau will
be none the. worse off for this fact.
Whatever Joseph Martin did, has
or would do, if leader of the government, he certainly couldn't hold a
candle to the present aggregation
of incapables as a means of putting
the mining industry on the train
that carries bacon.
The trusts and monopolies have
taught us the bitter lesson that the
old-fashioned system of individualism and open competition is dead.
The alternative to that system is
socialism, which may be a good or
a bad thing, accordingly as it is
viewed. There is little doubt, however, that ultimately it will be tried
if present conditions continue.
American capitalists, whose interests are not already syndicated, and
who realize their inability to suc-
cesssfully compete with the vast aggregations of organized wealth that
will in due time absorb the speculative opportunities at hand, will find
in the mining fields ot this district
an opportunity to repeat what they
done three years ago in Rossland���
put themselves on velvet.
If the present industrial disturbances continue for another few
months, the first thing we know
Canadians will all want to become
shareholders in the people's trust,
which will gobble up all the one-
horse trusts manipulated by selfish
private corporations to-day solely
and wholly in their own interests as
against the .best interests of the
whole people. Co-operation must
succeed competition before the battle between labor and capital ceases.
Some call co-operation socialism.
At that rate Pierpont Morgan is
adopting socialistic methods for his
own selfish neds. Widen out his
policy so as to include all the people as shareholders and we'll have
practical socialism, something badly
needed in Canada right now.
The government should be, and is
supposed to be, composed of men
who adopt business methods on the
same principal as they would were
the country their own. Herbert N.
Casson puts it in this way.
Suppose one monopolist owned
the whole country, would he let
things go on as they are at present?
Would he spend millions every
month for advertising?
Would he pay rent and clerk hire
for one thousand stores in one city,
when six would do?
Would he keep 50,000 drummers
traveling about?
Would he give away franchises
and land to irresponsible corporations?
Would lie let individuals run his
railroads, and refuse to carry him if
he could not pay his fare?
Would he let them own his wheat
fields, and refuse him bread if he
lacked a nickle for a loaf?
Would ho let them manage his
factories and refuse him his clothes,
unless he would pay them their own
price for the suit?
Would he let them take his own
house and turn, him out on the street
because he could not pay the rent?
No, he would not allow any such
absurd things. Yet, this is just
what the people have permitted and
voted for.

common sense for any man who wishes
to vote and act intelligently, to seo tbat
socialism is a subject on which he needs
to inform himself.
