G, February 20th, 1903 $2 a Year rmni First Meeting Tuesday Night Since Organization. Delegates Selected. The Forguson MiniDg Association held a meeting in Eagle hall Tuesday night boing tbe first since organization was effected. The executive held a meeting Saturday nlgbt when a list of subjects was prepared for consideration at this meeting. The president, D. G. Forbes, took tho chair and asked tho secretary to road the minutes of last meeting at which organization took place. Tbe minutes were approved and tho secretary then read names of the executive committee. These aro thoolllcors of the association together with Dave morgan, Sam Sutherland II. Hodge, W. Macdonald and A. J. Gordon. Tho secretary also reported that ho had already secured 80 paid up members of the local association and he hoped to get a few moro. The prosidout announced that tho rumor had beon circulated about that tho executive had chosen tho delegates at thoir private meeting. He would deny this and could say there had not even been a suggestion along that lino. Another report current was that that this was a movement to bo con trolled by capitalists to have the olght hour law repealed. There was no truth in this either for tlio working men especially wero urgod to join and they would bo largely in the majority in tho Provincial Association. The committeo had, however, decided that all expensos of delegates should be paid by the association. Tbo meeting was resolved into a committee of tho wholo for the purpose of instructing delegates as to tho wishes of ths association. Tho fii-st subject introduced for discussion was the two per cent, mineral tax. Upwards of a score expressed their opinions und the matter was 1 explained in dotail and pretty thoroughly threshed out. At tho closo of this discussion a motion waB carried instrnctitig tho delegation to oppose the tax, as it exists, tooth und nail. The second question discussed was, that everything bo referred back from tbo central association to the locals. This mutter was also fruely dlscussod but tho members showod no wido dllToronco ol opinion and a motion was put and carried that tho delegates shall work to have tho referendum prineiplo inserted in tbo constitution which will be drawn up at tho Victoria convention. Tho third matter for discussion was "that tho association do not interfere botwoon labor and capital by any question boing brought up." It was thought by tho different spoakors that no good could bo dono by interference with lubor quostions, so the resolution carried unanimously. Tho fourth subject for discussion was "that the provinco bo divided into districts and district assaociations bo formed." Tho division into districts meant that if Victoria were decided on as a permanent placo of mooting for ithe Provincial association it was too far from tho principle scenes of mining activity. It 'was thought that East Kootenay, West Kootettuy and Yule might bo formed into separata dis* trlcts or something along that line and much moro good could bo accomplished' for moro delogatC3 could ho brought together from tho local associations. The resolution carriod without dissent. Tho following delegates woro appointed to go to Vicloria: D. G. Forbes, R. Hodge and Frank Holten. Messrs. S. Sutherland, W. Macdonald and Dave Morgan woro appointed alternates in caso any of tho delegates found at tho last moment that they could not got away. In conclusion it was proposed and carried that a masit meeting bo held in the hall Thursday night to discuss the matter of appropriations for roads and trails in this district. Trophy l.oeii to Nelson. Nelson's hockey toam won the championship of British Columbia on the 14th inst at Kossland, beating the home team 3 to 1 and winning for keeps tho handsome silver trophy whicli was presented to tho hockey leaguo for comretition. Tho cup cost 8150 and was won by Rossland for two years in succession; then Nelson's team won it two consecutive yoarB making a tie. This last match was tho decisive one between tho two abovo named teams and it was with no little pride that tbe Nelson boys won the match and the ownership of tbo handsome cup. It looks as though tho Nelson team was composed of good material, to win threo years in succession. The personnal of the team was not the same this year aa formerly. In the four preceeding matches our townsman, J. A. Wetmore, was one of the players. The present winter has proven one of the best for hockey that has boen linco the leaguo was orgaulzed, the weather being comparatively Bteady and the ieo good. Samlny, Toll, lstli.

Mr. Groen held the usual Sunday school and church in the afternoon and also tho quarterly communion service.

Lord Minto Governor General of Canada, has a despatch from Michael Herbert, tho Hrilish Ambassador at. Washington stating that tho Alaskan Boundary treaty was formally ratilled by the United States senate on tho 1,'lth Inst. There was somo dissent against the treaty but it finally carriod hy a large majority. A proclamation has been issued by tho Lioutenant Governor-in-Councll setting tho dute of meeting of the Provincial house at Victoria. The house will thorofore moot on March I2tb. DI THE CHURCHES.

Solly, Curate, ISJT OFF East Kootenay Coal Mines Closed Down. Employees All Out 011 Strike- Indications point to the early closing of tho smelters of tho Kootenays again on account of the closing of all coal mincB on Elk rivor, in consequence of tho strike of all employees at tho abo.e m6noB. This is where tho fuel is obtained for tho smelters. If the strike lasts it will catiso serious loss and inconvenience. Those troubles occurring so often loads ono to pray for government control, in somo effective way, of coal mines for the conditions existing during tho past ton months havo been most unsatisfactory and has proven detrimental to tho lode mining of B. C. Tho following statement has been sent to the presi by manager Tonkin: Fernlo 13. C, Feb. 11.���The employees at all places failed to roport for work this morning, without any notice to the company. I understand the union has declared a strike. Tho union represents 18 per cent of tho employees. Tho vote for the striko was as foi lows: Coal Oreek, .r>9 for a strike, out of a total of 138 employees; Morrisey, 90 for a Btrlke, total employees 504; Michel, 80 for strike, total employoes 372. This does not include coko ovon employees, wbo wero not Interested but were driven from work this morning, as well as the ongineors, firemen and fan runners, The reasons for the strike are not known as yet, no demands having heon made on the company, Tho mon wero erning exeellout wagos. The Other Sltlo. Tho secretary of tlie Fernie Minors Union has given out the following: Fernie, 13. C, Feb. 11.���Tho situation as it stands today is this: Tho Morrissey mines havo been working nnder a protested wage senlo Bince November 1st. The Fornio mines have beon working under a protested wage scalo sinco the 4th of August last, and although tho union has on Bovoral occasions tried to obtain a settlement thoy havo up to dato been entirely iguored by the management. Realizing that nothing could bo done excopt by a strike this has beon done, and today there Is not a wheel turning at Fornio, Morrissey or Michel. I.atoi-tn Daily News. The local union gave a street parade this afternoon in which thero were four hundred miners in tho line of march. After tbo parade the business men were invited to assemble in Union hall where some of the more Important grievances of the miners were |>preBentcd to them by representatives of the union. The parade was given to disprove tho contention of the company that but 18 per cent of the employees of the Company belonged to the union. Thore is no present indication of a settlement. On tho contrary everything points to a prolonged and bitter struggle, and it neither the government nor' any outsido agency Intervenes the Crow's Nest mines may remain idle for a long period. Tho men to a man, union and non-union, for once appear to bo agreed and pro- pared and dctermlneu not to return to work until tho abuses thoy complain of have boon removed. There appears to bo an opportunity for our government, If wo havo such a thing in British Columbia, to exert Itsoll and by somo wise legislation provide for a tribunal to disposo of a trouble such as confronts us hore and which will soon bo felt by the entire province. Thoir Removal Regretted. Forguson sustained a loss Thursday that will not soon be replaced, by the removal of tho families of Messrs, Lade, Otto and McDonald; also Miss Lode and Master Fred. The reason of removal is on account of the employment of tho abovo named gentlemen boing at the Ophir-Lade Co.'s minos near Camborno where dwellings liavo been erected. It was found most Inconvenient for tho families to live in Ferguson while tho prosenco of the gentlemen was required continuously' at the mines. Mr. Lade, of course, hns not sold his property in and about Forguson and it is very probable the famllloB will return in a year or two when tho Fish Creek proporty is opened up. Last Sunday Kev. S.J. Green mado a touching referonco to tho loss to the church and to tho community on Mrs. Lado and Mrs. Otto moving away. Mrs. Otto has given most faithful -.service as organist for over two years and Mrs. Lade was ono of the mainstays of the congregation by her ready and faithful asslstanco with the singing. Mrs. McDonald aud .Miss Lado had only beon fn Ferguson a month but in that short timo thoy becamo much liked by thoso who mado thoir acquaintance. I'rovlnelal l.liuln;, Aflsoelntlon. To the Editor Lardeau Eagle: Dear Sir,���It will perhaps interest you to learn that tbo movement to organize a Provincial Mining Associa tion is meeting with very great success, and that local organization has been effected to dato at tho following places: Rovelstoke, Nicola Lake Lillooet, Clinton, Horsefly, Keithley. Fort Steele, Texada, Asbcroft, Lac La Bach, Bullion, Qucsnel Lako, Harpers' Camp, Aspen Grove, Camp McKinney, Cowichan, 150 mile, Qucsnel Forks, Saanioh. Others are organizing but In ono or two places, tho effort has been criticized on the grounds that the object: and aims of tho Association aro selfish. This criticism is tho result entirely o: ignoranco, for, as a matter ot fact, the objects of the Association havo not yot beon statod, and It will remain with the convention to outline a policy and determine on what stops will bo taken to endeavor to bring about an improve* ment in conditions and promote the welfare of tho provinco. In fact all that the provisional oxeoutlve committee is attempting lo do is to britif togothor a representative body of men chiefly practical miners, to discuss among themselves tho requirements ot the mining industry. At a meeting of tho committeo last week, it occurred to them that as Victoria has taken tho matter up so en thusiastically and has enrolled so largo a number of members if this city appointed delegates according to the number of Its membership roll it might be ablo to dominate tho meeting, consequently a resolution was pas- Eed limiting the number of delegates appointed to attend the convention from Victoria and Vancouver to ��0 respectively. That is an excollent motto "In union thero is strength,"and will you inform your readers tbat this is really the wholo idea of this scheme. Let ua all unite together for the common good. Yours Faithfully, H. MORTIMER LAMB, Secretary. Victoria, B. Ol, Feb, llth, 1903. A SPLENDID lTJ.il The Hospital Benefit Ball Friday Night Drew Large Crowd Many Fine Costumes The masquerade danco given in Miners' Union hall last Friday night proved a success beyond expectation, peoplo coming from -0 miles distant to attend. That a highly enjoyable time was spont need hardly be stated for tho local quadrille club, leave nothing undone, within tbeir power, to provido for the comfort und entertainment of thoir guests. The only cause of regret wastho inadequate space in the hall to properly accommodate tho unusually large crowd of anxious dancers. Outsido the night was delightful and most of Ferguson's population came to dance or to look on at tho pretty sight. Tho costumes were pretty and many of tbem expensive, but lacit of sufl'.clent space prevents us from attempting a description, therefore only the characters represented together with the names of tho wearers are given below: Mrs. Godsoe, girl graduate; Mrs. Langstaff, Valentine; .Mrs. Gunter- man, Shoeblack; Mrs. Parisian, Col- timljia; Mrs.Cummins, Columbino;Mrs. Forin, Doraiuo; Mrs. Smith, Hearts; Mrs. Glenn, School Girl; Mrs. Archer, Spanish Lady; Mrs. Mesley, Hazard; Miss Thomson (Beaton), Good Luck; Miss Thompson, (I'ergusori), Poppy; Evelyn Thompson, (Trout Lake) Flower Girl; A.

Dancing commenced nt 9;15 and masks were worn till midnight when they were laid aside and tables wero brought Into tho hall and on these a dainty supper was served to about ono hundred people. Tables woro removed and dancing was resumed, many who were not imcostume joining in, and the home waltz was not called till four oclook in the morning, Tho night proved an ideal one for dancing being moonlight 'but tbo thermometer registered lower that night than at any time this winter being 9 degrees below zero when the dance broke up.

It was hoped when the Fernie strike was settled last fall that the differences between the men and the company had been adjusted amicably and permanently but it seems this was a wrong conclusion and the settlement was'but a temporary arrangement as far as the company was concerned to tide over the difficulty. It appears that the company judged if they could pacify the men at the time they could gradually drift back to the former state of affairs. The men seem to have recognized the trend of the situation and have quit work until matters can be fairly adjusted and with a degree of permanency. It seems to us that the suggestion of the Boundary Times that a commission be appointed to enquire into the conditions at the Fernie mines is a good one and should be acted upon at once. These strikes are too serious a question to the whole Kootenay country and in fact to the whole province to be allowed to occur so frequently without government Interference. For the coke supply of the province to be cut off every six months is a serious detriment to the mining industry and works a very great hardship to capital invested in legitimate mining and smelting, as well as the laboring classes of the province who are from this cause thrown out of employment by hundreds. Besides this it gives a very unstable condition to the most important industry in the province. Conditions are bad enough just now in the matter of the metal market and the laws ofthe province without any labor troubles and it was not expected that trouble would come from the owners of coal mines for they have a first class market for their product at a price for coke and coal that leaves a lajge margin of profit, The coal men are practically wallowing in clover and yet they appear so grasping that they try to grind their employees down below a lair waj*c and impose conditions that cannot well be borne. R. G. Macpherson's election in Burrard riding to the house of commons is being protested by the Foleyites, Corruption is freely charged and best council in Vancouver has been retained by Mr. Foley's friends to present the case to the courts. J. E. Bird, agent for Mr. Foley in the election, at a meeting of indignant supporters read a para* graph from a written opinion ob* tained from Sir Charles Hibbert Tupper: "I am of the opinion that no valid election had been held in Bur- rjrd. under the writ dated December 21, 1902, and that, in the event of the returning officer making a return of any one of the candidates, a petition against the return would be successful. I do nut see how any returning officer having regard 'or his oath of office, under Section 15 of the Act, can, under the circumstances, make the return required by Form "C. C." under Section 92. In the event oi so doing he would be subject to being called to the bar of the house of commons, there to be dealt with as the house would see fit." The bye-election in West Yale promises to be a hot one and the result is very doubtful. The government members are werking very hard for iheir candidate Dr. San- some, while Charles Wilson, K. C, R. McBride, M. L. A., and Hon. Joseph Martin, K. C, are making a vigorous campaign for Mr. Sem- lin, the opposition candidate. Hon. W. W. 'B. Mclnnes the provincial secretary in referring to the situation in the house, said the government have already a sufficient majority to successfully carry on the business of the house and he and his friends have no fear of West Yale electing an opposition member. It is understood tbat active con ..ruction will be commenced before the end of February on the V. V. *_* E. railway to oonneot Grand Forks, Phoenix and Curlew.

LARDEAU MINES, LTD. The three claims owned by the company are the "Lardeau Quoen," the "Lardeau King" and the "Lardeau Prince," all abutting end to end, through which three leads pass the entire length, situated at the head of Lexington creek, ln the Lardeau mining division ot West Kootenay, British Columbia. These three claims are located on the western slope of Goat Mountain, the lines being north-westerly and south-easterly, and form one complete portion ot Mineral land of about 156 acres. They He east less than four miles up from Fish river. The group lies In the "Sitting Bull" and -'Wild West" belts, two of the strongest and best known leads in that district, and work already done on apjacent extentions has given most satisfactory results as to extent of ore bodies and increased values with depth. The formation Is slate and schist, lying in an immense lime dyke, and the cropplngs of the leads are generally topped with heavy iron capping and quartz, which gives assays from $8 up on the surface. VEINS AND WORK DONE Exploitation consists of two open cuts along the surface for a distanbeof twenty feet, whioh exposed a body of argentiferous galena over 8 inches in width. The value of this ore body was $25.60 on the surfaco, but at a depth of less than three feet it has increased to 840.60. To tap this ore showing and the massive iron capped ledge close to whioh it lies the present tunnel was commenced and is now ln a distance of 82 feet. Another 85 feet of crosscutting should reach this ledga at a depth of about 125 feet. When 01 feet had been driven, an almost-solid body of iron ore three foet thick was encountered in the tunnel lying against a wall of slato. A sample at this point assayed $77.60 in gold, silver, copper and lead. At* a distance of 14 feet from this lead a fine body of ore has been enf-jotlntsv-ed which, when crossed, proved to be seven and a half feet wide, carrying the finest looking mineral yet found on the property. A Third ledge which contains the riohest ore and widest surface showing, win be reached about February 15th. This ledge when encountered, will be from 12 to 15 feet wide and great results are expected.1*' The property has an excellent surface showing. The average assays are most encouraging, considering the great width and con- tinuanoy of the leads across the country with such great width and prominence of the surface judging from other properties in the near violnity, some of which are on the same lead and have developed very rioh ore bodies. In conclusion I would say that tho Lardeau Mines are as good as any, if not i the best, in tbe violnity, and I verily believe with a nominal expenditure, tbey should be made dividend paying in a short time, and I would strongly recommend extensive development toward that end.
