Vol. IV, No 25. Ferguson, B. C, JULY 31, 1903. $2 a Year A Large Silver Tip Bear Made An Unprovoked A.. a el. on Well Known Mining Man. About the middle of the a'ternoon ol Tuesday last Messrs. Ceo. H, Bayne and.I. A. Kennedy had an experience that does not often fall to the lot of man. and one ffora which both men may i.-onsi< e;- themselves foi-tunate in having escaped alive, and yet one that Ml*, Bayne may never recover from. An Eaqle reporter mot Mr. Kennedy yesterday and got the following full particulars: About a week ago Mr. Ea.yno came in from Rossland, accompanied by Mr. Kennedy, and went directly to Hall creek, camping at the Jewel cabin, 10 miles above Ten-Milo, which is reach- od by a very rough mountain trail. Mr. Bayno is interested in several properties on Hall and Haley crocks and he and Mr. Kennedy intended to spend about two mouths doing assessments and examining different properties in the vicinity. Tuesday tho two walked to the "Littlo Tommy" across the big lime dyke and ovor three miles distant. Thoy had finished their examination and were returning to camp, walking through thick undergrowth, when they heard an animal growling and snorting, presumably a bear warning her cubs to seek shelter Irom possible danger. Mi. Kennedy continued us follows: "We stepped upon a largo fallen tree, where there was a little opening in the undergrowth. We turned, and looking behind, and saw a large Silver-Tip bear jump on tho log Borne 10 or 15 foet from us. We both jumped to escape down thc hill, but Bayne's foot caught a bough and he fell by the side of tho log. I got about 40 feet away whon I knew that the bear had attacked Hay ne. Wo had no weapons of uny sort and wo had very little time to have used them. The bear having passed on, I returned to Bayne at once. Ho was quite conscious, but bleeding profiisoly, and said whon he fell thc boar jumped upon him and bit his hand and face and head, and also clawed him, but though perfectly conscious, he lay without lllnching or attempting a defence and the bear passed on after lingering but a few seconds and evidently feeling assured that no harm could do suffered by the cubs from that source, and thinking no doubt of fetching the cubs to partako of a meal. "I roturned to my partner," said Kennedy, "and found him badly lacerated and I was afraid of him bleeding lo death. 1 bound up his wounds as well us I could, and he having expressed a desire for water, we walked to the oreek, 1,500 feot below. I asked Bayne to wait hero till I got a horse to convey him to camp, but he Insistod on walking with me and we reached camp about 7 p. m., and wero rejoiced to find Captain Davey and Jas. Curry had ai- rlveJ during oui- absonce. We again li mild up the wounds and at 5 the next morning wo mounted horses and rode through to the Ferguson hospital wlth- o.it, resting, and nrrivod at 2:30 p. m." Kortnedy says Bayne's fortitude and splendid nerve was remarkable, and though ho must have suffered intense agony during tho 9i hours ride, he never murmered except to speak of his lacerated hand. CONDITION OF PATIENT. Mr. Bayne arrived at the Lardeau Miners' Union hospital at 2:30 p. m. Wednesday, and under chloroform it was found that the left sido of forc- hoad and face are torn away, laying bare facial musclosand bone; left eyelid and eyobrow lascerated and torn; left ear torn to pieces; scalp from forehead to nock literally torn and chewed to shreds, ono large latsoration extending from loft eye to left ear and around back of head to near right ear. Mr. Bayno remembers distinctly that this latter wound was caused by a blow from the bear's paw. Tho right hand is badly chewed and bruised. Thero are no signs of "fracture of base of skull," although slight symptoms of intracranial hemorrhage are present. Mr. Bayne is very weak from shock, loss of blood and his long journey after the accident. Mr. Bayne is a well known and well to do mining man. He is one of tho principal owners in tho Homestake of Rossland, as well as being president of the company. His relatives live in Halifax, N. S., to whom particulars of tho accident have been wired. Mr. Kennedy returned to the Jewel this morning to continue the operations that'wore under way. COUNTY COURT. A session of the County court was held at Trout Lake on Thursday, the 10th inst., His Honor, Judge Forin, presiding, when the following cases were disposed of: Glenn vs. Watts���Judgment was given for plaintiff for $100 and costs, the question as to garnishee being held over.

Information Obtained from Mining Men Who Are Developing Our District's Resources. G. B. Manross and Gus Peterson returned Tuesday from doing assessment work on their property near tlio head of Macdonald creek. Tho showing is even better than last year, and they left quito a lot of oro on the dumps sacked, ready for shipment in tho fall. Crown grants aro to bo applied for at oneo, the claims having boen survoyod last year. There aro four claims in tlio group, through which run two strong leads, and work has boen done on both leads. The oro is high grade, averaging ovor $100 to the ton. Mr, Peterson spent the summer of 1807 in the Lardeau, when ho and Mr. Manross staked tho above property. Sinco then ho has superintended a mine In tho boundary for live years, but last year ho prospected in California. Ho says Lardeau has developed into the best camp that ho knows, and ho expects to stay. Ho will take a run down to Poplar creek and see what is there. Mr. Manross hopes to got his family moved to Forguson very soon und make this his permanent home in the future. COPPER CLIFF. N. J. Cavanaugh, a well known mining operator of Sandon, outfitted in Ferguson during the week and tool; Bert Sharp and Jack McLeod up to his property, the Copper Cliff group, adjoining the Black Warrior, at the head of Macdonald creek. Mr. Cavanaugh had to return to Sandon to be in attendance at the meeting of tho lead conference that convened on Friday. He said he thought the Lardoau would forge right to tho front now that the lead bounty h lixod for a long enough time to be of service TEAMS UNDEH WAY. Three four-horse teams came Into Ferguson Wednesday night bringing tho outfit of tho B. C. Riblet Tramway company. Tho Silvor Cup extension tram lias boon undor way for somo timo and tbe building of tho towers will now bo 8 tar ted. The tram from the Nottie L. will also be started in a fow days. ltclatlveRTHkea Ltl.t Glnnco, In Rome, July 21, thero was a scono at tho Vatican when tho nephews of the pope with their families entered the death chamber to take a last faro- well of their uncle, for whom they had an intense reverence. The elders woro dressed in black and the children in white. As .they entered the young children, awo-struck and frightened, began to cry at this, their first acquaintance with death, but the beauty of tho scene soon quieted them. Tho littlo party advanced on tip-toe and, circling around the bed, fell on their knees and joined in thc prayers of the penitentiaries. The whiteness of the children's gowns added a pleasing note to tho rather highly colored scene, Presently the visitors aroso and slowly filed past the bed, kneeling to kiss the dead hand as they passed. Count Camlllo, one of the nephews who knew him best, accompanying him al* ways when he went into tho gardens of the Vatican, was quito overcome, moro so, in fact, than at any time since his uncle's death occurred. Old papers for solo at Eagi_e ollico. Women Il.toi-luratlng. Halifax society women aro in a Hut- tor over tho sensational charges mado by the Rev. W. J. Ancient,who proach- od at St. Luko's cathedral, the fashionable church of Halifax, on Sunday night. Mr. Ancient said that ho was informed that women���ho was going to say ladies���who came to church and approached tho Holy Communion with an appearance of sincerity and humiliation, went on tho golf-links next day and swore liko troopers. "What arc wo to expect of men now," said tlio preacher, "when women look upon profanity as tho correct thing'-'' The Halifax Golf club is ono of the most exclusive institutions, and numbers among its members only thoso prominent in the smart sot of tho city, as well as army and naval circles. Several members belong to St. Luke's, and tho preacher's charges havo made a great sensation. Lady golfers are highly indignant, and a delegation from them waited upon Mr. Ancient and demanded a retraction. This Mr. Ancient declined to make, and reiterated what he had stated in his sermon. In an interview later, he further stated that Mr. Van Dean lind told htm that ladies uot only swore but smoked at the golf links. Miss Mill, r Wedded. Reports from Atlin toll of tho marriage on tho 7th inst. of Miss Miller, daughter of Munroo Miller, to Mr. O. K. Bourne, formerly of Now Westminster. Miss Miller has been teaching school in Atlin, and Mr. Bourne has a prosperous tlrug business there. The trustees tlie Atlin school aro seriously contemplating securing a gentleman to toach the youth of tho camp, as they are unable to hold any young lady who has boon brought in. They quito approve of their citizens settling down and securing the comforts of a homo in the charming surroundings of Atlin, but they do uot favor the idea of running a matrimonial promotion bureau, as tho results of their efforts to keep a school open so far have turned out. Mr. ami Mrs. Bourne tiro vory popular in Atlin. A Hard Diet. Dr. Monnier of Paris, has just reported to tlio Academy of Medicine the case of a young mar. with an extraordinary stomach. Ho entered St. Joseph's hospital on May 10th, suffering from severe pains. A hard body was felt in his stomach and lie was operated upon on Juno 25th, when the doctor extracted eight teaspoons, a three- pronged fork, a sharp pointed four-inch knife blade, a key, a long tootli comb, and other articles, altogether 25 in number and weighing half a pound. The young man is now recovering. Ho states that he tried suicide this way. Death Mank Taken, A death mask of Leo X1I1 was takon on the 21st by Coratnondatore Galli, director of the Vatican Museum. Tho delicate work was successfully executed, and the re.ult is considered highly satisfactory. The viscera of Pope Leo, which was today placed iu an earthen urn nud provisionally deposited in tho crypt of St. Peter's was removed at midnight to a magnificent urn, whieh, carried by Mgrs. Maiv.olina and Augeli.was taken in a Vatican carriage to thc Church of St. Vincent Anastasius. The carriage was met at the door of the church by priests carrying torches. The viscera of all the Popes, excopt Pius IX, havo been deposited iu this church. The will of the Pope has not boon opened. Lund 11111 Pusses. In the British house of commons on Tuesday last Premier Balfour, in tho abseneo of Irish Secretary Wyndham, moved the third reading of tho Irish land bill. Tho bill passed thc third reading by 317 to 20. Conservatives Sweep the Province���Roblin Government Returned by a Large Majority. The result of the Manitoba elections held on tho 20th inst., so far as tlie;. are known to date, show that the government of Hon. R. P. Roblin has made almost a clean sweep of the pro-. ��� ince. Thc figures are: Conservatives .'10, Liberals 4, doubtfuls 4, deferred elections (Swan River and Gimili) 2. Total, 40. Thero has been a cyclone among the Liberal candidates, and especially among those who attempted to humbug tho electors by masquerading a: Independents. Every conspicuous Liberal, with the exception of Crconway himself, has been turned down, including J. D. Cameron, at one time attorney general in Greenway's cabinet, who lost oy a sweeping majority tu ,1. S. Gut-don; A. C. Fraser, at Bra'*.* don, who has been boomed as Green- way's successor; E. Brown, mayor of Portage La Prairie; J. D. Hunt, In Norfolk, and Dr. J. A. Macarthui- In Centre Winnipeg. A contrast is shown by the present ministers, all of whom havo boen returned, in most cases by record majorities. Premier Koblin and the Hon Mr. Rogers head the list by majorities which are phenominal. Tho returns aro necessarily incomplete, but even if the four seats, Carol- ion, Gilbert Plains, St. Andrew and Kildonan and Virden, whero the result is at present doubtful, should go liberal, together with Gimili and Swan River, the government's standing now would be 30 to 10. NOTES. Twenty-eight ulions wero naturalized in Kaslo last week, many of thorn being Chinese. Many thousands of poople Hocked to St. Peters to view the body of the late pope lying instate. Miss Eva Booth, commissioner of tin. Salvation Army, has just returned fron a trip to Dawson City and other Yukon points. Tho production of gold In Japan for 1901 was about *1,500,000. This was mainly produced from tho placers lo catod in Northern Joaso. Editor���You haven't mentioned thc bridegroom's iiame in this wedding story of yours. Reporter���Oh, yes, 1 havo.

McPhcrson, the district superintendent of roads, stating lhat the trail from Ferguson up the Great. Northern mountain has been repaired, and also that the Eight-Mile wagon road is receiving the best attention that can be given it with the men that are available. We are glad of this assurance from the superintendent of works lor this road and trail in particular are the ones to which the Eagle saw fit to direct attention a fortnight since. We have visited the trail and road in question and find things in pretty good condition, the road to Five-Mile especially and the bridge across the Lardeau below Ferguson having both been given good attention in the past two weeks. EDITORIAL NOTES. Tlie magnificent. victory of the Roblin government in the province of .Manitoba at the polls oh the Joth inst., is significant of the trend -if public opinion in the west, About 189*) iho electors all over Canada showed a falling off from the ranks of the Conservative party and in the general Dominion election of 1S96 the country was found lo'have gone overwhelmingly Lib- oral. For a lew years everything went smoothly, but for the past two years one cannot but have noticed lhe change in public sentiment; a condition very nearly akin to that which existed immediately preceding the election of 1896. Now province alter province is getting more conservative and the signs point to another great turnover at lhe general elections that will in all probability take place at the close of the present year. Within the past 12 months the l.nuiier government have lost two of Iheir cabinet ministers in Hon. J. I. Tarte and Hon. A. G.Blair. This means something, and if one will but stop aud read between the lines it will be seen that something is very wrong, lor these two strong men who did so much to enable Ihe party to gain power, to have dropped out. It looks as if the party is falling to pieces. Therefore it cannot be expected that the rank and Hie would do otherwise than lose confidence and return to Iheir old friends, the Conservatives. that were carried out at first, have since.heard them corroborated by the most reliable persons and have come to place confidence in the extent and richness of the new field. That camp will make a name and a record before long. v The unfortunate accident that occurred Tuesday on Hall creek, shows how unsafe it is for men to go about in the mountains at this season of the year without carrying firearms. One is liable to find themselves between a bear and her cubs at any time and in almost any place, and when such a thing occurs the bear is sure to prove aggressive. King 1-Mu-iird In Ireland. King Edward and Queon Alexandra, accompanied by Princess Victoria and their stiites, are visiting in Ireland, arriving in Dublin on Tuesday, the 21st. The party has beon warmly greeted at all places, holidays being proclaimed and general rejoicings being manifest. CONSERVATIVE PLATFORM. (Adopted nt Revelstoko. September 18th, 1902.) I. Tbat tills convention reaffirms the policy of the party in matters 01' provincial roads and traits; the ownership and control ol railways and the development of the agricultural resources ol the province as laid down in the platlorni adopted ill October, 18119, which Is as follows; "To actively aid in the construction of trails throughout lhe undeveloped portions ol the province aud the building ol provincial truuk roads of public necessity. "To adopt t he principles of government ownership of railways in so fur as the circumstances of the province will admit, and the adoption ol the principle that no bonus should be granted to any railway company which does not give the government of the province control of rates over lines bonuscd, together with the option of purchase. "To actively assist bv state aid in the development ol the agricultural resources ol thc province. -.'. That in the meantime and until thc railway policy above set forth call bo accomplished, a general railway act be passed, giving freedom to construct railways under certain approved regulations, analogous lo the system that has resulted In such extensive railway constructlon in the fnited States, with so much advantage to trade and commerce. :l. That to encourage the mining industry, thc taxation of metalliferous mines should be on a basis of a percemngeon the net profits. 4. That the government ownership of telephone systems should be brought ahout as a Ilrst sic], in the acquisition ol public utilities. 5. That a portion id every coal area here- after to be disposed ol should be reserved from sale or lease, so that state owned mines may be easily accessible, il their operation becomes necessary or advisable. II. That In the pulp land leases provision should be made Ior reforesting and that steps should be taken for llicgeneral preservation of forests by guarding against the wasteful de struction oi timber. 7. That 4 lie legislature and government ol thc province should persevere in the efforts to secure the exclusion of Asiatic labor. S. That thc matter of better terms in thc way of subsidy and appropriations for tho province should bo vigorouslv pressed upon the Dominion government. II. That the silver-lead industries ol the province be fostered and encouraged by the Imposition of increased customs dunes on lead and lea* products Imported into Canada, and that the Conservative members of thu Dominion Houso be urged to support any motion introduced Ior such a purpose. 10. That as Industrial disputes almost Invariably result in great loss nnd Injury both to the parties directly concerned and to the public, legislation should be passed to provide melius for anauiicable adjustment ol such disputes between employers and employees. 11. That It is advisable to loster tho manufacture of the row products of the province within the-province as far as practicable by means ol taxation on the said raw products, subject to rebate ol the same In wholo or part when manufactured iu llritisli Columbia.
