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hour law repealed.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.

Canada, has a despatch from Michael
Herbert, tho Hrilish Ambassador at.
Washington stating that tho Alaskan
Boundary treaty was formally ratilled

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.

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.

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

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.

EDITORIAL NOTES.
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.
