The Boys Turn Out En Masse.    A
Pleasant    Evening  With   Songs,
Music,     Step   Dancing    and
Speech Making.
Mr. A, J. Gordon, of the Balmoral
hotel conceived the idea some time
since of the hotel proprietors of Fer*
guson providing a smoking [concert
for the men of ths district on Xmas
night. Tbe Idea was heartily taken
up by all the hotel people of the town
and a strong committee was formed to
get up a suitable programme, Tbat
thoy succeeded admirably was shown
by the evident appreciation of tho hun-
hred or moro mon wlio accepted thoir
hospitality. On tho dodgers announcing the concert was "Plenty of beer
and cigars. Everything freo." Of
courso we do not say tbat this proved a
drawing card but, anyway, .both beer
and cigars wero provided and passed
about unstintedly. The concert proved
a meant of drawing out much latent
talent in song, speech and story. There
was same remarkably good step dime
cing and music, and what seemed to
please the boys vory much was a
recitation by A. <H. Holdich entitled
"The Silver Cup."
Before the concert broke up chairman
Gordon on behalf of the hotel keepers
spoke briefly of the pleasure thoy had
in providing the entertainment and
hoped tho boys enjoyed themselves.
It was thoir intention to provide a
similar function annually and they
were delighted to see so many of the
boys present. A vote of thanks was
passed to the hotelkcepers aud also to
the chairman. The singing of "For
Thoy Are Jolly Good Fellows" followed
by "Auld Lang Syuo" brought the
entertainment to a close.

house to tbe house of lords to hear the
King's speech, which was unuasually
lengthy re public events since January.
The Speech contained the following
about the Venezuelan question:
"I regret that the constant cotn-
dlalnts which my govornmont havo
found necessary to address to tbe government of Venrzuela ii-r-i rd to
unjustiflable and arbitrary acts
againBt British subjects and property
during the last two years bave been
peristently disregarded and that it has
become necessary for the government
acting in concert with that of his
Imperial Majesty, the Emperor of
Germany, which also has serious
causes for complaint against the republic, to  Insist on Measures of  redrcs."
The epcoch also referred to the conclusion of the South African war.

Christmas day dawned ye--
ter'day morning bright ai.d
mild and during the morning scores of
visitors came into Ferguson to spend a
day of rejoicing and festivity., tho
"payroll" centre having gainoJ it
reputation as a place whete one may
come to spend it holiday and be sure of
having a good timo. Yesterday
certainly did not fall short of former
occasions and wc think wo aro safe in
saying it proved more eventful from
tbe men's standpoint at least than any
former Christmas. There was nu
ChristmaB tree or concert for tho
children and no church service for
adults but thoro were dinners galore
and tho day was spent In merry muting and everyone we uiet seemed to be
enjoying a good time. The hotels all
seemed to have exerted their hest
skill in providiug thoir tablea for dinner with the best the country could
afford and there was a large and
appreciative number of people to
partake.
A representative of the Eagle accepted an invitation to eat. I o'clock dinner with James Blaek, manager of the
Hotel Ferguson. A splendid dinner it
was too, and the only regret of tho
Eagle man was that he had not fasted
for a day and thus havo more room to
stow away Chof Bu.-y's prime turkey
and plum pudding. Liquors and wines
were also supplied in abundance but
as it i6, of eoui'BO, against the scruples
of an editor to indulge iu drink no
regret was felt in connection with
the latter. No ono in Ferguson need
have gone without an A. 1. Christmas

EDT0MAL NOTES.
After passing through the different I courts from the
lowest to the highest the question
as to whether the* Japs shall be
allowed to register as voters in B.
C. has been finally disposed of by
the privy council deciding in the
negative. This will cause rejoicing
in B. C. and all over Canada for
we Canadians do not want the
Japanese and Chinese to have any
say in the enactment of the laws of
this province. It is bad enough to
have these people in the country
at all but it would be a little too
much if, after becoming naturalized, they should be allowed all the
privileges ofthe whites. We are in
favor of treating the Orientals well
after they are here but don't gi\ e
them too much liberty or n lime will
come when we will regret it.
Under a handsome colored cover,
the Scientific American publishes a
must interesting store of information on "Transportation." The
number deals with all phases of the
subject, taking up first Marine
Transportation, which is treated in
a series of well illustrated articles.
Railroad Transportation covers 9
pages of reading malter, in which
much of interest will be found,
Following this section is that of
Electric Traction, which contains
an important article on the Bcrlin-
Zossen test of the 10,000-volt locomotive.
A special feature of this number is
a comparison ol the railway statistics in the United Stales, in which
thc tremendous proportions of our
railroad system is portrayed by a
comparison with various familiar
standards, such as the pyramid, thc
Brooklyn bridge, etc. The im
mense amount of food required to
provision one of our Atlantic liners
-is shown in a similar manner. In
this way figures and dimensions are
graphically presented and perman*
ently fixed on the mind. On ae
count of the broad field covered by
this number, it will readily be seen
(hat matter of interest will be found
lo suit all reader.;.

Nearly every man employed at
the Nettie L. mine is down spending holidays in Ferguson. The
management took what we think a
wise course and gave every man the
privilege of taking three days off for
Xmas holidays, closing down thc
vork* for that length of time.
The Silver Cup mine did not close
down for Xmas but the management gave the men the privilege of
laying off. Most of the men continued work,
Ferguson has the appearance of a
boom town these days. Everybody
dressed in holiday attire and seeming to be enjoying earth's richest
blessings. It is certainly good to
live in a community where the glad
hand is extended to all alike and
everybody wears a pleasant smile.
Verily Eerguson must be all right.
A light shower of rain fell last
night making the roads soft and unfit for heavy traffic today. The
teamsters were hoping for rain so
that when lhe frost comes the firm
roadbed Ihus formed will prevent
the heavy ore sleighs from cutting
into the sides of the track. Next
week we expect to see Jim Grahame
hauling down his usual winter's
load of seven tons of Nettie L. ore.
Just before going to press the
Eagle editor interviewed provincial
constable Schnell, asking how
Xmas passed'off in his official view.
He replied that everything was
lovely; he never saw a holiday pass
with less rowdyism and disturbance
where there was so much liquor to
be had just for the drinking, and
never did he see more good
nature and general good time spent
by all whom he met.

LARDEAU MINES, LTD.
The three claims owned by the company are tho "Lardeau
Queen," the"Lnrdenu King" und the "Lardeau Prince," ail abutting
end to end, through which threo leads puss the entire length, situated at the head of l.oxIni;toti creek, in the Lardeau raining division
of West Kootenay. British Columbia.
Theso throo claims aro located on the western slopo of Goat Mountain, tbo lines being north-westerly and south-easterly, and form ono
complete portion of Mineral land of about lull ttcres. Thoy Ito east
less thiin four milos up from Pish river.
Tho group lies in the "Sluing Bull" and "Wild West" belts,
two of tho strongest nnd best known loads In thot district, and work
ulrendy dono on apjacent oxtontions hns glvon most satisfactory
results as to extent of ore bodies and increased values with dopth.
The formation is slate and schist, lying in an Immenso limo
dyko, untl the cropplngs of the loads arc generally topped with heavy
Iron capping and quartz, which gives assays from $8 up on tho
surface.
VEINS AND WORK DONE
Kxploltation consists of two open cuts along the surfaco for a
distance of twenty feet, which exposed a body of argentiferous
galena over 5 Inches in width. The* value of this oro body was $25.(10
on the stirfiicc, but itt a depth of less than three feet It has increased
to $40.60. To tai) this ore showing and the massive iron capped
ledge close to which it lies the present tunnel wus commenced and
is now in a distance of 82 feet. Anothor 8"> feet of cro6soutt.lng
sliould reach this Iedg3 at a depth of about 125 foet. When 01 feet
had boon driven, an almost-solid body of iron ore throe feet thick
was encountered in tho tunnel lying against a wall of slate. A
sample at this point assayed $77.00 in gold, silver, copper and lead.
The property has an excellent surfaco showing. Tbe average
assays are most encouraging, considering the great width and con-
tinuancy of tho leads across the country with such great width and
prominence ofthe surface judging from other properties in the near
vicinity, some of which are on the samo lead and have developed
very rich ore bodies.
In conclusion I would say that the Lardeau Mines are as good as
any, if not tho best, In the vicinity, and I verily believe with a
nominal expenditure, they should be made dividend paying in a
short time, and I would strongly.recommend extensive development
toward that end.
