The trip was dangerous in the extreme for the men knew not the moment when they might all go through the Ice, but tho trip is over and the brave men have won tho admiration of a host of people. Tho Fernie Strike. Had it not boon for the bravery and persistence of members of the Ferguson miners' Union two of the bodies of the unfortunate men who died as a result of tho disaster in tho Nettio L. could not have boen sent to relatives in Eastern Canada. The relatives naturally wished to havo tbo bodies buried at home, but the arm of Arrow lake was called impassable. Notwithstanding tbis the Union men undertook to deliver tho caskets containing tho bodies at Arrowhead and thoy succeeded nobly. In tho first place the caskets arrived at Arrowhead on the 9th, At the time tbere woro about 20 people waiting for the boat to run but tho boat is not running even now eleven days lator. Frank Holten wbo was returning from Victoria saw what was probable and together with six other volunteers thoy secured a cuttor, took the box oil, placed tbo four coffins on it and pulled it by haud 12 miles ovor the lake through snow and broken ice and dodging air holos. When tbey reached Beaton Audy Craig had a toam and sleigh ready and brought the coffins through to Ferguson a distance ol 10 miles tho samo night, breaking the road through two foet of newly fallen snow. Whon the inquest was over Tuesday night Dave Morgan, [president, and Frank Treanor, secretary of the union, called for volunteers to deliver the bodies of Gagnon and Calder to relatives who woro waiting to take charge of thorn at Arrowhead boing unable to come any farther owing to the condition of the lake. In a few minutes the required number had como forward. On Wednesday after the burial of two bodies near Trout Lake, tho three sleighs carrying the other two bodies and tba transport committeo continued the journey to Beaton. Thursday morning oarly the two collius containing tlie bodies woro placed on Holten's useful cutter and a string team was made up of tho following: D. Morgan, president Minors' union; F. Holten, C.

Mullholland together with two others whoso names we don't know walked down from Camborno to assist. So au ourly start waa mado with u team comprising 20 men, and a rope was strung out from tho sleigh and the men placod 20 feet apart to avoid having too much weight in one place and tbreo men wont ahead testing tho loo. All went woll for four miles when one of tbo team, a stout fellow named Ack'ert, tho only man not a member of the union, got on tho load saying ho was played out and would 'havo to bo hauled. The men felt annoyed for this man asked to bo allowod to go but they suppressed their indignation and hauled him the remaining six milos. Tho trip was certainly a bard ono, for the men had to walk in water and snow, mixed, 18 ���inches deep, and the men were all The following despatch from Fornio dated March llth, makes the situation look brighter and no doubt the differences will be settled in a few days: After many conferences between the representatives of tho striking coal miners, the Crow's Nest Company officials and tbo conciliation committeo appointed by tho Hroviucial Mining Association, all the chief obstacles to a satisfactory settlement have at luigth been removed. Concessions have boon made by both the parties, and the work of tho committee has beon considerably lightened by the mutual forobearnnco exercised during the lengthy sessions hold here since Saturday last. There are still somo matters of detail to be settled, but with patience and tact it is now reasonably certain that all questions in dispute will bo harmoniously settled this weok. There were two meetings today ono In tho morning and the othor this evening. Arrangements woro mado beforo concluding this evening's meeting to hold a further conference at 9 o'clock tomorrow morniug. The Provincial Mining Association committee have been present at all the conferences hold and their good offices in bringing about a friendly and lasting settlement have been appreciated by both sides to tho controversy. Tbo terms ofthe settlement to date are withheld for tho present and will not be given out until tho whole matter is settled, which may possibly be tomorrow, 125 FEET A MONTH The Oyster - Criterion Will be a Busy Mine Before the Middle of the Season. Vincent F. Lade of tho Oyster-Criterion mine, on Fish creek, paid a visit to Forguson Tuesday, remaining over night and returning to tho mino the next day. To an Eaglo reporter ho Baid thero wero no startling developments during last month, but tho high grado freo-milling oro in tunnel aud crosscut continues just as good as when last reported in these columns. The lead has however been encountered in crosscut on the Criterion claim and shows even bettor average values than in othor places. Sinco Christmas an average of 12i) feet a month has been maintained in drift and crosscut, and tins notwithstanding that very hard rock has been met. As wo mentioned somo timo sinco tbo stamp mill is on tho ground only awaiting tho coming of spring to be sot up. When the mill is ready there will bo plenty of ore blocked out to koop the mill running steadily. Word has been received that tho compressor plant will uo lauded at Beaton on April 4th. Mr. O. B. N. Wilkie completed tho survey for tho tramway somo timo ago and tho machinery for installing thu tram will be shipped ns soon as thu boat is running regularly over tlio Arm. A Lardoau Experience. M16S McKinnon arrived in town on Friday last from Boston, mass., on a visit to hor brother J. McKinnon. Miss McKinnon was delayed at Arrowhead several days owiugto the boat being unable to run on the lake However, tho Miners' Union men camo to the rescue and when returning from tlieir perilous journey Friday night brought Miss McKinnon back with them, hauling ber ou a cutter the wholo distance of 19 miles over the lake. It Is not often that a young lady has so uniquo und sensational a ride. Miss McKinnon must havo felt like a quccu of somo far.eastern monarchy riding in her state carriage. She says she onjoyod her cuttor ride very much and that sho hud no trouble in managing her string team. Tho team consisted of 27 mon of the Miners' union, who had crossed the previous day, reinforced by S. Sutherland and two others. We understand that the fair driver had hor whip nearly worn out keeping tho wheelers, Messrs. Anderson and Eddy up ln i.ho collar. On arriving at Boaton Mr. Sutherland secured a cutter and pair of horses and drove Miss McKinnon to Ferguson. F-irj-lison IIoaltil.il Notes.

Lord Strathcona's Annual Roport, Lord Strathcona, in his annual report to tho trade and commerce department at Ottawa on March I2th entertains no hope that restrictions on tho frcu entry of Canadian cattle into tho United kingdom will be removed notwithstanding the agitation to that ond principally ln Scotland. Improved markets for imported meat aro anticipated ln the near future, and tho high commissioner urges that greater attention be paid to this branch of export from Canada than at present. Ho points out that,tho chilled meat imported from tho United States in 1901 was equal to 312,000 head of cattle. It is noted with satisfaction that Canada ia now tbo second largest shipper of wheat lo tho United Kingdom, although last year's shipments did not amount to moro tbau 10 per coat of tho whole importations. Tho Canadian grain is very well spoken of. Thero is a gratifying increase in the quantity of Hour imported from tho Dominion, and it now occupies the second place in the returns after the United Statos. In referring to tho discrimination of Germany against Canadian grain the high commissioner sees no way of getting ovor tho difficulty until negotiations bo opened up with Germany by which Canadian imports may bo put on a better footing than thoy now enjoy. Lord Strath- ia secured from Right Hon. Mr. Chamberlain, prior to his departure to South Africa, a promise that Canadian products would not bo overlooked in tbo purchase of oattle and supplies fur re-stocking thu Boer farms. Tho wood pulp importations from Canada seem to bo increasing, and a feeling prevails that nn effort should be made by Canada tu prevent thu ex- purtntion of tho raw material and to encourage the industry in the Dominion, the matter being largely in the hands of Canada us competition from other sources is 'decreasing year by year. Deuiaml lucre* in;-:. Cupper experts fur February show a heavy falling off compared with lust year's figures, v hilo for tho two monhts ending February 2*3 thoro is a decrease of 3.'! per cent, Tho exports in tuns fur the month of February wero 8,685; deoroase 5,316; from Jauary 1, 19,102; decrease, 10,312. A l-eprosonta- ti.o of ono of thu largest copper interests In thu world says: "The activity of copper is absolutely legitimate, and is based entirely upon the conditions of supply and domand, During 1902 2f> per cent, more copper was used than ever before. The supply is exhausted. That it has advanced from II to 13$ cents fur lake cupper within little moro than a year Is nothing extraordinary. Tho marvelous development of electric work the world over, and particularly In tho United States, Is tho cause. Last year 170,000,000 pounds uf copper were used for wiro in electrical appliances in this country-"���Western mining world. Tbo Edinburgh papers say that tho emigration to Canada is likoly to seriously affect house letting in Edin* burgh this yoar.

Ferguson delegates to tho Mining Association contention at Victoria all speak in glowing terms of the work acompllshed and are a unit In the belief that the newly formed association will be of far reaching benefit to the whole provinco of British Columbia. A disposition was shown throughout tbo sossions of thu convention to adopt such rcsulutiuus as would nut infringe 011 the rights of any class or section but to advise such changes in existing conditions that would work uut to tho welfare of tho principal Industries, having in view especially tho quart:', and placer mining, A strong executive was olocted ill which everv seetion uf the province is represented, W. M. Brown, of Revelstoke, being tho member representing this section of Ii. C, The following is tho full personnel of the executive: W. M. Brown, A. C. Gait, A. McMillan, P. J. Pearson, L.

His excellency tlio Governor-General was accompanied from Govornmont bouse by an oscort of tho Princess Louise Dragoon Guards and was received 011 his arrival at the parliament buildings by a guard of honor from the Governor-General's Foot Guards. Thc band of this regiment was present and supplied the music. Lord Minto proceeded to tho eonato chamber and delivered the speech from the throne. The C. P, R. machinists and freight handlers from Vancouver to Winnipeg aro out on strike. It begins to look as if tho strike would extend ovor tho wholo eystom, Lobbying has commenced at Ottawa by tho Canadian Northern and Grand Trunk Pacific magnates for tho government subsidy for building another trans-continental road to tho Pacific coast. Tlie government have promised to bonus one road but will not ns.ist both. There will be a stuboorn fight and there is a difference ol opinion nuiiing the ministers, it is expected that the Grand Trunk system will win out not becauso they havo tbo hotter rights but because a large number of the Cabinet nro personally interested in that system. Thero Is no doubt that thu Canadian Northern have prior rights. The weather in Forguson this week is very'��pring like. No birds have been seen yet however.

The greatest sympathy is felt locally for the relatives of the unfortunate men who met death so tragically at the Nettie L. on the 7th inst.. Only those who know the circumstances can realize how sad was the sudden cutting off of the career of these brave men. The late Pat Crilly and Allan Calder were young men of splendid physique and with great possibilities of attainment before them, yet they were cut off just as they had nicely entered on manhood. Robert Savage was a man well known and who had many friends ' but it was unfortunate that no one ' here knew of any relatives. Edward Gagnon was not so well known for he was a man who seldom visited town. He had a fond hope in view, he was working at the mines not from preference but from a persistent determination to break loose from the bonds and worry of debt and free his little farm in Quebec from the mortgage that hung like a millstone about the necks of himself, wife and family. The man worked for the last few years faithfully; never spending a ���cent foolishly, but sending his earnings back to his wife to be applied on the demon mortgage. The throngs were broken at last, only a short time since; the farm was clear and he was a free man. He had given notice that the fatal shift on which he entered the night ol the 7th was his last at mining. He made a little sled to haul his belongings from the mine to Ferguson the next morning and trom there to depart for home to meet Ins loved ones. The shift did prove his last but it also saw the fleeting of the soul of the man. It is sad to reflect on these things, it is difficult to understand what purpose God had in cutting of these lives, but God's ways are often beyond the comprehension of man. We know personally only P. Crilly the night foreman, but those who know the others speak very highly of them and the good lives that they lived. There are men who come west who become intemperate and coarse; nothing like that can be said of these men. The Eagle joins with the Lardeau people in general in extending sympathy to the relatives of the deceased, The Ontario government is in distress owing to charges make by R. R. Gamey, M, P. P., for Mani* toulin on the floor of the legislature that he had been bribed to support the Ross administration and that payment was made by one of the ministers. The revelation has brought the business of the house to a standstill and there are likely to be several resignations in consequence. The liberals and conservatives are of one mind that thorough investigation must be made and the mutter sifted to the bottom. The Globe says: But whatever tribunal it will be the first duty of the premier and his followers, as we believe it will be their most earnest desire, to see that the real issue is not obscured or evaded, and that the Liberal party is neither usjustly involved in apparent complicity with wrong doing, nor betrayed into even seeming connivance at its concealment. Either the minister of the crown who is accused, or the member of the legislative assembly, who is his acusser, is unworthy of public trust, and no interest of either political party must be allowed by the leader of the government or the leader of the opposition to come between the offender and the punishment which his offence deserves. In this thing we are neither Liberals nor Conser- vates, but Canadians whose first concern is the independence and intregity of parliament and unsullied national honor. The World says*. The Ontario ministry has been half dead for the last five or six years, and the attempt to galvanize it into life has been the cause of widespread corruption. The West Eigin case was a horrible example of this. Ballot boxes have been stuffed, ballots burned, money spent in corrupting the electors, and now it appears that thousands of dollars are available for the purchase of members ot the legislature. The concern is rotton, and its destruction would give us at least an opportunity to make a start on new lines. During the investigation into the Nettie L. disaster the long distance telephone system was taxed at times to cope with the rush ot messages. Many of these were long press despatches, but we have not heard of a mistake occurring and the messages were transmitted and delivered most promptly, Therefore we feel justified in com* mending the good service that is furnished by the telephone Co. This was especially noticeable last week when a heavy snow storm continued steadily lor four days and nights. Watches, Guards, and Jewelry.

Stetson Co. of Philadelphia, I'a., Is non-union concern, JOHN A. 5IOFFITT, President, Orange, N. J. JOHN PHILLIPS,Secretary, 14 787 Bedford Ave., Brooklyn, N.K '���������G/STEV. LARDEAU MINES, LTD. The throe claims owned by the company are tho "Lardeau Queen," the "Lardeau King" and the "Lardeau Prince," all abutting end to end, through which three leads pass the entire length, Bltuated at the head of Lexington ereok, in the Lardeau mining division of West Kootenav, British Columbia. These threo claims aro located on tho western slope of Goat Mountain, the lines boing north-westerly and south-oastcrly, and form ono completo portion of Mineral land of about 1511 acres. Thoy Ito cast less than four miles up from Pish rivet*. The group lies in the "Sitting Bull" and -'Wild West" bolts, two of tho strongest and best known leads In that district, and work already dono on apjacent oxtcntions hus givon most satisfactory results as to oxtont of oro bodies and increased values with depth. Tho formation is slate and schist, lying in an immense limo dyko, nnd tho croppings of the loads aro generally toppod with houvy Iron capping and quartz, which gives assays from $8 upon tho surface. VEINS AND WORK DONE Exploitation consists of two onon cuts along tho surfaco for a distanco of twenty foet, which exposed a body of argentiferous galena ovor 8 indies ln width. Tho valuo of this oru body was *25.li0 on the surface, but at a depth of less than threo feot it has Increased to $40,00. To tap this oro showing nnd tho massive Iron capped ledgo closo to which lt lies tho present tunnel was commenced and is now in a distanco of 82 feot. Another 85 foot of orossouttllig Bhould roach this ledge at a dopth of about 125 feot. When 01 feet had boon driven, an almoBt'Solltl body of Iron ore throe feot thick was encountered in tho tunnol lying against a wall of slttto. A samplo at this point asBayed $77.00 in gold, silver, coppor and lead. At a distance of 14 feot from this lead a lino body of ore has boon encountered which, when crosBod, proved to bo.seven and a half feet wide, carrying the finest looking minoral yet found on tho property. A third ledgo which contalnB tho rlchost oro and widest surface showing, will bo reached about February 15th. This ledgo when encountered, will be from 12 to 15 feot wido and great results aro oxpoeted. Tho proporty has an excellent surface showing. Tho average assays aro most encouraging, considering tho great width and con- tlnuiincy of tho leads across the country with such groat width and prominence of tho surfaco judging from other properties in the noar vicinity, Borne of which are on the same load ami have developed very rich oro bodies. In conclusion I would flay that tho Lardoau Minos are as good as any, if not tho best, in tho vicinity, and I vurily believe with a nominal oxponditure, they should bo made dividend paying in a short time, and I would strongly recommend extensive development toward that end, H.
