of water power available, and it has
many inducements to offer which
should make It an enviable property
this souson. Just ovor tbe summit
from the Wonderful group, on the
Fish creek Bide, is the well known
Black Bear group, upon whieh there
was a great deal of development work
done by manager Jackson last season,
with satisfactory results.
RANDOM FLIGHTS
There Is probably more truth in the
following editorial from the Nelson;
Tribune than Is usually put into the
same amount of space. Speaking of
reasons why the  mineral resources of
.British Columbia are not opened up
more quickly, and why there are so
many failures, the Tribune says: In
our opinion the district has suffered
' more from tbe incapacity of the men
' who have boen charged with the expenditure of the investors'money, than
' from any of the causes most times
named. Nothing injures the repu-
tatlon of a district more than failures
and mining freaks have charged more
failures up against West Kootenay
than there was any justification for.
There bave beon too many schemes In
which the mining was all done ln
London, in which illegitimate profits
were earned there, and resultant failure charged against mineral prospects
in Kootenay. It is quite within the
recollection of many how prospects,
worth a few thousand dollars at the
utmost, bave been watered and floated
upon a valuation which precluded even
the possibility of the investors getting
any returns upon their money. There
have been cases in which mills havo
been. erected with a greater daily
capacity than the probable annual tonnage of the property. There have
been cases where mills have been
erected before It was demonstrated that
tho oro from the property had any
commercial value; and there have
been cases where mills have been
erected while it was an open question
whether the ore was free milling or
not. All these-failures, however, will
be charged agaiust the district, and'
few who have been bitten will risk
additional money in other mining vou
turus iu the district, or even in the
province. Men who undertake to fix
responsibility should be fair. They
should not attempt to saddle upon the
government responsibility for the in-
competence of individuals. The devel-
.opineiit of British Columbia's mineral
resources does not depend upon
..additional transportation facilities,
more conscientious prospeotors, or
Immunity from taxation, half so much
as It docs upon intelligent application
by thoso entrusted with the expenditure of Investors' money.
IRK ON Tl WONDERFUL
A 105 Feot Orossout Tunnel Driven
This Winter
David Morgan and Fred Disjardlne
ire down from tho Wondorful group,
having run out of supplies. They have
driven a orosscut tunnel 105 feet lone
during the winter, and last week succeeded ln orosscutttng tbo ledge, which
proved tu be about .1 feet iu width,
containing woll mineralized quartz.
They have about 100 feet dopth and
the sutfuco showing is a big one, but
supplies having run out they were
forced to como down tho hill beforo
doing any drifting from tho point of
Intersection. Both walls nre well defined, so that the owners think there
is no doubt but solid oro will bo found
In either direction. It is Mr. Morgan's
purpose to continuo work as Boon as
supplies can be paoked up. He may,
besides drilling, sink and raise on tho
lead, so as to thoroughly prospect the
ground. Tho Wondorful group consists of four olaims, situated on Pass
nreek, up tho north fork, and can
bo reached from Ferguson, on foot, in
three or four hours.  There is plenty
(By the Wanderer)
"All men are liars!" So said King
David. And the fact that he Bald so in
bis haste would seem to prove that he
himself for once at least came vory
near perpetrating tho truth. While
the Wanderer would hardly care to
make so sweeping an assertion, he has
met so many cheerful prevaricators in
this vale of tears that he has come to
tlie conclusion that they form at least
a respectable minority.
The Wanderer met a fair sample the
other day in a down town hotel, and
the following is the story that was told
him:
"Oh, I've just got back from Europe.
Going to work on my claim in a week
dr two. Had some samples assayed
last fall. Went $563 to $784 to the ton.
Oh, yes, they were average samples.
There's tons upon tons of it in sight.
Wouldn't take $50,000 for the property."
Now, the sober truth was that he
hadn't been a dozen miles from Ferguson all winter. His claim is vory
ordinary, the ore being bo low grade,
in fact; that it would hardly pay to
mine even If the railroad rau a branch
to the tunnel mouth.
While taking a constitutional on tho
wagon road last week the Wanderer
encountered some men engaged in the
task of removing a giant of the forest
which they bad felled and stripped.
He enquired of one the purposo for
v.-hicb the tree was intended.
' "Why." he replied, "that's to be a
flagstaff."
"You don't say so. Where'll it be
put?"
"Oh, down at Trout Lake���at the
court house."

The cheerful liar, however, cannot
live for ever, and when his earthly
career is ended his sinful soul Is conveyed to the hot quarters especially
reserved for such. And his sorrowing
relatives have something like the following Inscribed on his tombstone:
"Not lost, but gone before."

During the Wanderer's stay in the
Lardeau he has heard of 3(1 properties
that are as good as tho Le Rot and 17
that are better. And yet railways do
not fall over each other in their hurry
to reach these bonanzas.
Speaking seriously, however, there
are many properties in tho Lardeau
that moneyed men would bo only too
glad to take hold of If they wero once
fairly interested. But thoy will have
to be interested first, and united action
should be taken to bring this about.
The Influx of capital into tho country
would, directly or indirectly, benefit
us all.
Times are quiet in Rossland. And
yet the pay roll there 1b as large as
ever. The miners do not blow in tbeir
money as recklessly as in the old days.
Thoy even Bave'money now. And this
desirablo change, for them, may be
ascribed to the miners' union, which
has inculcated into the minds of its
members the principles .of thrift aud
the necessity for husbanding resources.
THE NEED OF PRINTEB'S INK
"I have had lots of enquiries about
tbo Lardoau here (Spokane) and at
Rossland, hut further south tho people
don't seem to koow anything about tho
Lardoau. At Northport, where I
worked one day, tho editor actually
didn't know there was such a place. I
think Ioonvlnoed him thore was. At
Rossland as many as a dozen people
whom I have spoken to say they aro
going to try the Lardeau country this
summer."���Leo. J. Francis.
British Columbia Possesses Vast
Natural Resources
But Ao Unpnpsive Government
is inf
"There aro, roughly speaking,
225,000,000 acres of unoccupied crown
lands in the provinco of British Columbia. These lands are, in the main,
unoccupied and unproductive because
tbey are Inaccessible. Thoy are known
to contain great resources of iron,
coal, oil, silver, lead, gold, copper, and
to be covered with limitless quantities
of fine .timber, besides containing
many million acres of diversified farming and grazing land. They only
require population, capital, and means
of transportation. The basis of all Industry, the natural resources of the
soil, is already there. The problem,
therefore, Is to provide population,
capital and means of transportation
for the unoccupied portions of British
Columbia," says some one who is sending the press "a practical proposal to
stimulate immigration and devolop the
resources of British Columbia," but
who neglects to father the circular.
The-lime has certainly arrived when
the'government should seo to tbe development of its resources: but if the
"scrip" business would work out in
this province, as did the half-breed
scrip in the Northwest Territories,
tbere is a ��ood rake-off io sight for tho
manipulation of the land scrip issue.
The Eagle would suggest that Premier Dunsmuir acquaint himself with
the land laws of New Zealand and
apply them in this province. Tho
assistance rendered a new settler In
New Zealand is what, has counted
there. P.etain tho land, and give the
the sharks no chance to boodle with
the people's heritage. The people will
awaken some of these days'and curse
thoir luck for being so stupid aU these
years. Let the people, jointly, develop
the many resources of this Ood given
province, and if tbo grabbers are not
content to tako their place in the big
trust, lot them puli their freight. The
country would bo well rid of them
But will the government aot? Not
until tho people say so and voto accord
ingly.

From the general expression of feeling among tho boys the union will bo a
largo and enthusiastic one.
THE IHO SMELL 18 ON
Frank G, Carpenter, representing
the Seattle P.-I. in Wellington, New
Zealand, recently asked Mr. Tregear,
secretary of labor:
"Do your workingmen represents'
tives stick to thoir class after they are
elected?"
"In most cases they do," replied Mr
Tregear, "but in some not. In the
latter instances tho workingman starts
in enthusiastically. He is all for labor
and nothing for capital. He Is soOo
corrupted, however, by his association
with the rich. The dinners and atten1
tions of his wealthier parliamentary
fellows turn his head. By the end of
the first session he has risen above his
class and changes his working suit for
a tweed suit. At the end of the next
session yon find him In black broadcloth with a tall hat, and thereafter be
probably votes with the capitalists.
As a whole, however, our workingmen
make talrly good representatives."
It might be wall for a representative
or two now sitting in Victoria to paste
this in their hat.
ltlOHT END TO AT LAST
After many years of temperance
campaigning Hon. G. E. Foster has
como around to the theory of government control of th 3 liquor traffic. In
addressing a big temperance gathering in Toronto on Sunday he took th"
ground that the monetary interest In
the traffic was too great to hope for
any prohibitive legislation from any
government; but tf this monetary
interest could bo dislodged through
vesting the control of the traffic in the'
government, the road to prohibition
would be easy.
GOOD FOR NELSON AND IIS TOO.
It is reported from Victoria that the
Canadian Pacific Railwuy company, tn
consideration of an extension being
given for the completion of its Lardeau
branch, has agreed to complete the
line connecting Trout lake and Kootenay lake before January next. Tbis
will mean the diversion of the entire
Lardeau trade from Revelstoke to Nelson, as everything going into the district will enter from the southern end.
���Nelson Tribuoo.
"DAD" BLACK'S OPINION.
While in Nolson recently Wm.
Whyto, goneral manager for tlie western division, referring tn the Lardeau
branch, remarked that while no contracts bad been let for actual construction, the company was going ahead
rapidly with tho preliminary work of
completing tbe slip at Lardo, getting
out ties for tho road and bringing in
steel. Developments might be expected in this direction almost dally.
THE LAKDEAU ltOAD IS CERTAIN
"The road into the Lardeau, however, Is certain to be built, and tho
work of getting out ties and providing
rails Is now in active progress. That
Is the only branch line of the company
the construction of which is certain,
but there Is no tolling what a month
may bring forth, and there may bo
othor construction matters.tako form
and proportion during the open season."���Wm. Whyte, general manager
O. P. R��� ln Rossland.
Dad Black paid his usual visit to the
Nottie L. during the past week, and is
as enthusiastic us ever. Tho increased
development in the east drift and shaft
therefrom has oxposed so much ore
hitherto unexpected that Dad has no
words in his vocabulary to give expression to his opinion of Lardeau's
banner mino. Needless to say, however, Mr. Black has unlimited faith in
the future of tho Nettle L. mine and
the camp generally.
N
The Nettie L is to Lead in the
Onward March of Progress
Hundreds of Men Will Soon Be
SUl'ANDERINU TIIE PEOPLE'S MONEY
What good will a British Columbia
office in London do us? Until the easy
guys in England get noxttotiiemsolves
and learn to Invost their tn.mey in
legitimate schemes they will only con-
tjnuo to be bitten, thus acting as a
boomorang in the long run. Let there
be laws mado at homo whicli will encourage development of our natural
resources.   The rost will follow.
While thero will be a good denl of
work going on in the district this
season thero will bo lots of men to do
it. Men who havo means onough to
prospect or work on property for themselves can not do better than locate
here, for the coming season will seo
now discoveries where least expected.
What Is a dollar anyhow ? A dollar
Is what men promise to pay for thoir
paper. It 1b something a newspaper
man enjoys more in anticipation than
in reality. It is tbo price of a day's
work for somo men and night's drunk
(not in the Lardoau) for others. It Is
what a wife frequently needs, but seldom has. It Is tho power that makes
or unmakes men. It is the hardest
thing to get and the easiest to get rid
of.known to mankind. It Is a blessing
In a small -measure, a delusion and a
enare; and wo aro all chasing the
delusion.
Now that the snow is going rapidly
and the roads are breaking up, oro
shipments will practically cease for the
season, or perhaps until such times as
the railroad reaches the foot of thc
lake, whon it will be a haul to Trout
Lake Landing instead of Thomson's
Landing, a saving in distance of 12
miles.
Tho working force at the Nettie L.
mine will Boon be cut down  to a development'force, probably 20 men; but
if tho company   decide  to commence
shipping  under  the   new   conditions
soon to exist, the. fmve  may  he  increased to over a hundred men, as that
many can easily ho worked after a tev^
months',development.   A new fan and
waterwheel, with plenty of air pipe, is
now on tbe road and  will   be installed
in the lower workings us sr.-nn us possible.   There Is 200 feet mote to drive,
making 900 feet in all, on tho baso tunnel;   then a raise of 275 feet   to reach
the bottom of the 70 font, sha.'t, Bunk
from the drift in 'the lipper (east.,1 workings, will have to be marie.   Onc-e tim
is dune there is   simply   no   limit  to
what   may   be  expected.    They    will
have plenty nf good air, a dry placo to
work in. and If the present, indications
hold   out with   the   increased   deptii,
over 400 feet, there will he enough ore
in sight to keep over a hundred men
stoping and sacking ore for an indefinite   period.   Tho company, ton, have
under consideration the advisability of
installing- machinery in thc mine and
putting up a concentrator in Fernusnn.
with an aerial tramway running tn the
mloeyall feasible in overy particular.
There nre hundreds of tons nf $50 ore
lying in the waste dump right now, all
nf which could be treated at a big profit with a concentratnr.   And ns the
Great Western   Mines  company may
work in conjunction  with the Double
Eairle company in the matter of a concentrator, we may soon see ores beine
concentrated right in town, for here is
where thero is limitless water power.
Manager Pool's Interests aro here, the
companies'  offices  are  hero,  and  of
course the rest of it will  be  here in
due time,
Foreman Crilly expects to continue
sackinu ore, with thc full force, until
rawhiding becomes impossible between
tho ore bouse hero and the mino.
FERUDSON SUPPLIES THE MINES
The Old Gold, Primrose, Guinea
Gold, Rob Roy, Black Warrior, Mountain Lion, Canadian-Lardeau, Metropolitan, Sunset, Whito Warrior,
Golden Gate, Silvor Cup, Triune, Empire. Brow, Wonderful, and dozens of
ncher properties will all put on working forces as soon as tbo snow goes off
sufficiently. All these properties buy
their supplies in Ferguson, and the
men employed cash their cheques and
spend their money in the pay roll
centre.
RANKIN'S NEW DRCO STOKE
A. F. Rankin of Sandon, arrived iu
Ferguson on Tuesday to open a drug
and stationery store here. His store
will bo located in the Eagle block.
The stock is now on the way in from
Arrowhead, and Mr. Rankin hopes to
be open for business next week. Besides a completo drug line, stationery
and choice confectionery will bo comprised in the stock. Mr. Rankin has
had experience in catering to mining
camps, and tbe Eagle bespeaks for
him every success.

FRIDAY,   APRIL 13,   1901.
ARE WE OURSELVES?
The government not only have
power to say how many hours shall
constitute a day's work, but they
can also set tlie scale of wages. In
this way each manufacturer or producer is placed on lhe same basis,
so that competition will not effect
the wages paid to employees at any
rate. The government, too, may
see that sanitary conditions are
perfect, and in any way it sees fit
equalize conditions for both the
employer and employee. This has
been done with remarkable success
in New Zealand, for the past seven
years, and strikes have been unknown in that period. The masses
in New Zealand have proved themselves quite capable of governing
themselves, in tact the premier is
none other than an intelligent working man, and there is no sane reason
why they could not do the same in
13. C. With New Zealand's laws
and British Columbia's resources
this would the best and richest
country on God's green earth.
Some progress has been made, it is
true, but we have a long way to
advance still. The labor unions in
New Zealand went into politics,
witb the result spoken of above.
And the sooner the labor unions of
8. C. form a provincial organization, raise funds, pick out their
men, and elect them, the better for
all the people. Laws which benefit
all the people cannot be termed
class legislation, since each and
everyone is given a chance to earn
a decent living and enough lelt to
enjoy lile upon. It might be impossible for men such as Andrew
Carnegie to amass millions by
crushing the iile's blood out of his
employees and cinching the public,
but are not the interests of all the
people more sacred than laws which
allow such pernicious amassing of
wealth at the masses' expense. In
the interests of ourselves and of our
children, as against the crushing
influences of trusts and corrupt
politicians, is it not wise that the
iabor unions unite lor political
action. While some of the men we
will elect may deceive tis, as in New
Zealand, we can enact Jaws whereby we can recall them hy a vote ol
lhe people. Where there will be
one to go back on us In the ranks
of labor ihere are hundreds of capitalistic tools which will continue to
do as they have been doing. For a
province made up of so many labor
union men we are as big a lot of
deadheads as ever run at large. In
fact, we are easy. A few promises
thrown at us before election day
seem to satisfy. But it does look
right now as though we were
awakening. And it is time. Over
in Victoria we are allowing coal
barons, sharp-eyed lawyers) doctors, etc., to frame our laws, give
away our money to huge private
corporations, dictate our taxes,
look wise, dine and wine, and. draw, j
nol necessarily big salaries, but op-j
parently good pickings. And why?)
If we aro the people, and the people j
wish to make their own laws, then,;
in liic name of high heaven, why
don't they do so.    It's an easy mat-
ter. We have the votes and capable The government tells tis that the
men within cur milks, We want [reason they want a portiqn, at
less law-making and more attention least, of their revenue is to build
to the real interests of the people. I trails, bridges, etc., and thus a< u'sl
And the Eagle predicts that the.pioneers in opening up new conn-
next provincial election will see try. Why not give the man who
some concerted action along these ! owns a mining property a chance,
lines,   supposing   wc    are    handi-,when   lie   wishes,   to    earn    that
capped in tlie interior because ot an
unjust redistribution of representation. 	
WIMGLETS.
No law, in any land, compels an
employer to keep a man in his employ who doesn't do a fair day's
work, be he a member of a union
or otherwise.
John Houston has simply found
out that it is not "competitive"
railways we want, but railways
built, owned and operated by the
people.   John Houston is right.
Will the man who doubts that
Ferguson is the supply point for
Lardeau's mines kindly keep an eye
on the report ol shipments made by
wholesalers in Nelson, Vancouver
and Revelstoke? No more substantial proof could be furnished,
The Eagle had, judging by past
actions, always put Smith Curtis
down as a "government ownership" advocate. But the other day
he declared himself in favor of
"competition." Where is he at?
It's hard to follow any of these
gentlemen.
If Thomas Taylor, M. P. P., has
made use of lhe two weeks' adjournment of the house to consult
hisL, constituents on the railway
question, he will find that the people in his riding do not want to see
any more competition. A railway
owned and operated by tlie government is what We want. And Mr.
Taylor will do well to play his part
in securing this programme, for
nothing else will go here.
If the provincial government
would enact a law stipulating a
certain wage which must be paid
by employers in the different industries, the same as exists in New
Zealand, the problem of the exclusion of Oriental labor would soon
solve itself. Surely no employer
would pay a Chinaman a while
man's wage, and if he did then
there would be no reasonable
ground for complaint, since all
employees would be on the same
footing.
The Eagle has done no "boosting" for Ferguson, simply because
Ferguson needs no boosting. Any
fool knows that a newspaper must
work for the interests ol the town
in which it is located ; and it is only
when cullis hirelings resort to talking of the disadvantages of this or
that town and forget lo stick exclusively to the advantages of their
own burg, that the Eagle takes
exception. This is n big country,
rich in natural resources, and there
is room for us all. It doesn't pay
to make an exhibition of ourselves
before the outside world, for they
size il up that a people who cannot
pull among themselves is a mighty
poor communiiy in which to cast
their lot. Let investors come to
our district, size up the matter for
themselves, and not be advised by
newspapers at all. All the Eagle
asks is an investigation into the
merits of this town and camp generally. We are quite satisfied to
let the investor be the judge and we
will abide by their decision. This
method, so far, has proved a winner for Ferguson, as experienced
westerners know right well that the
place where the mines aro is the
place to do business, But, never
mind what we say; come and see
for yourself. The rest will be easy
���"-for Ferguson,
money by allowing it to go as assessment, and thus leave that much
less road-building to dp? The $ioo
assessment doesn't amount to n
row of beans in reality, failing in
any way lo develop the properties.
But (or $iuo worth of trail building
there would have to be something
done to make even a showing.
There is no good reason why road-
building should not count as assessment work.

The Nelson Miner ol the 5th inst.
makes editorial mention of a New
Zealand capitalist who is dissatisfied with tlie laws in that favored
land. The gentleman need not
come to Canada to find capitalists
who are satisfied, because there are
none. Mere they would kick at a
football. Here is one of the New
Zealand laws, which shows at any
rate that the minority do not rule
there as here, for their women are
not siwashed like so many Indians
or Chinamen: "The servant girl
has thc same right of franchise as
her master. In fact, every one who
is over 21 years of age and out of
gaol can go to the polls and vote.
For this reason the legislation
enacted is to a great degree class
legislation, and the moneyed class,
being in the minority, get very
much the worst of it," Poor things!
The Eagle has positive knowledge of cases in this district where
tiie Kellie Truck act is being violated every day. It may not be
generally known to some employers
in this district that there is a law
in this province which makes payment for labor in goods illegal. In
actions for wages goods or articles
furnished by the employer or supplied on his premises cannot be
brought forth as a set-off, nor can
the employer sue his clerks for
things so bought. Workmen must
be paid in money, and at least once
a month, if they so desire. In absence of written agreements, those
engaged in manual labor must be
paid weekly, and if not so paid they
can attach all money due or thereafter to become due to the employer
on the work. It might be well for
an employer or two in the camp to
make a note ol the above.
The Eagle already enjoys a
splendid circulation among men in
terested in this district, but it
would enable the publisher to send
out hundreds more sample copies,
which would introduce the Lardeau's mineral resources to investors, if a larger paid-up circulation
were secured. This district has
not become as widely known as it
might have been, owing to the neglect to use printer's ink more
freely. Are you on our list yourself?
Have you dons anything to influ
ence others to subscribe? Can you
not send the Eagle to some one
you believe could be interested this
wa; ? Will you help thc Eagle lo
advertise our wonderlul mineral resources? Once we can convince a
man that there is money to be
made here, he or his representatives
will be sent to make further enquiries.    Are you doing your part?

Is probably the safest investment in the country
as can be readily seen from the ;>etticil records
of assessment, certificates o( improvements,
development, new strikes in various mining
properties surrounding Ferguson and the fact
that a railway will reach here this year. The
demand for Ferguson Real Estate will be too
brisk by spring to secure the same values as
now. Choice lots already disposed of are
changing hands among private owners at
double and more than our prices. And it i��;
quite reasonable to suppose that the townsite
prices will be advanced as the demand for lots
increases. In anticipation of what is in store
for the near future, several large buildings are
being erected, a public school building is to be
provided, two banking institutions will establish
branches here, and taken altogether the citizens
are evincing their faith in the town by
something   more   than   talk.
I
Ferguson is the
Coming' Town
Ferguson is recognised by all to be the best
located and laid out townsite in the Larde.au
district. Its unique position at the base aritd
gateway to the Great Northern, Nettie L. and
Silver Cup hills, entitles it to the well known
local name���the Pay Roll centre. Ferguson is
the headquaners and outfitting point for all the
mining men now operating in this district.
Accept a pointer, make enquiries, come in and
see for yourself and you will agree with us
that Ferguson Real Estate is the best thing
now offered as a safe investment in this country. The large number o( sales among
private owners of lots, the steady upbuilding
of the town, and the confidence displayed
by men who are already on he ground should
be sufficient evidence for the average investor
I j that like all other mining camps, the leading
'* towns are located where the mines are. And
I       Ferguson will be no exception to the rule.
