Ferguson, ft fej JULY 24, 1903. $2 a Year Information Obtained from Mining Men Who Are Developing Our District's Resources. An Eagle reporter had a talk with ManagorJ. A. McCrossan of the Triune on Wednesday. Mr. McCrossan appears very well satisfied with the way things are going at this rich property. He says while they are not attempting to mine on a big scale for the present, the work that is being done is of a highly satisfactory nature. They are working all the men Underground that they have room for, their plans for the present being to develop the property to a good state before heavy shipments are attempted. However, they are sacking from three to four tons per day and are packing this down 'tho'mountain to Ten-Mile, employing their own pack animals. Five or six more horses will be added to the train next week, The first ore from this season's work reached Ten-Mile on Tuesday, though over 100 tons are lying at Ten-Mile awaiting shipment. The short tram line is being switched over to the mouth'of'the lower tun- - nel for convenience in lending down ore and taking up timbers for uso in the mine. lardeau a winner, J. A. Darragh, who operates the Western Star and Copper Dollar mining properties on Fish creek, with headquarters at Camborne, spent Tuesday night in Ferguson. Accompanied by an Eagle representative, he tooll a' walk to' the site of the new concentrator that is* being built by the Silver Cup Mining company above Ferguson. Mr. Darragh seems a very conservative gentleman, but on his return to town he expressed himself as being amazed at the amount of work being done about our town. "Why,"said he, "your..town should go ahead by leaps and,.bounds, With the big companies showing such confidence by putting up extensive and important works at your very door, and the small claim owners following in the wake with energetic development, as Ib evidenced on all sides, the town of Ferguson should be all right." Mr. Darragh further assured our representative that he believed tbe whole Lardeau country had entered upon an era of prosperity, for which many have been hopeful of seeing for a number of years back. "Nothing can keep your town baek, now that its splendid resources have become known, for tbe district has the highest merit." THE KOOTENAY'S. Three and a half miles above Ferguson, on the North fork of the Lardeau, Is located the atyvtujianied Kootenays group of mineral olaims. Aotlve work was commenced on the property ten days since by the owners, Mesmr. Kirkpatrick, Shannon, Carter and Thompson, all of whom are prominent in the Perguson mining circle. The tunnel that is being driven is crosscut:ting a dyke to tap tbe lead at considerable depth, Though the lead has not yet been encountered some very rich ore bas been found in the crosscut and the owners are feeling quite hopeful this week of finding a rich body of ore in the. near future. :. BROOKLYN AND BALTIMORE. Messrs, Carter & Thompson, who are doing considerable work on the above property, spent Sunday at their homes in Ferguion, A report having rea... ed the Eagle on Saturday of a good find on the property last week, our reporter looked them up to get particulars and found that a new tunnel had been started a fortnight ago, and ln this a small lead of silver-lead ore was found during the week that gives good values in gold, silver and lead. The luoky owners are feeling very pleased as the property is so conveniently situated and only about one mile above tbe smelter. A GOLD property. Dollard Barselou is working steadily on a location that he made on the Lardeau river a mile below Ferguson a month since. The lead is four feet in width and is a free milling gold proposition. It is showing up well with development and the owner thinks he has a good thing. The quartz Is of the same nature as that on Poplar creek and the lead Is a fine one, having good free walls and contains pretty fair values. Ylllted Poplar Creek. Mr. S. Shannon returned Tuesday morning from Poplar and Rapid creeks, where he has spent several days examining the quartz veins over which there has been so much sonsational newspaper talk fdr the past month. Mr. Shannon 'was sent for particularly to examine some ground recently located by Ferguson and Trout Lake prospectors. To an Eagle reporter he said that the published reports were for the most part not exaggerated, but of course a few fairy tales had reached some of the newspapers over in Washington that were misleading*. It may be said, however, that seldom has a rich discovery been made in any country where there were not men who, through excitement, or something akin to It, their eyes became magnifying glasses though generally their intentions were honest- Mr. Shannon said the camp certainly looked very promising, and many of the leads show plenty of gold. There are two distinct belts about three- quarters of a mile apart. The upper belt has some good veins of gold quartz which run with the formation, while the lower belt has a perfect network of fissure veins cutting the formation and with splendid free walls. Considerable work has been done In both belts which gives evidence that the leads retain their values and tbeir good features. The best values occur in a fine rose quartz but in some places the quartz is pure white and also very rich. Our reporter asked Mr. Shannon If he believed the free gold veins of Fish creek and Poplar creek run through near Ferguson, and he said he believed they did. THB CHURCHES.

There was a meeting of Tuscan lodge, A. F. & A. M., at Trout Lake last Thursday night. A goodly number of visitors from outside points were present. Including J. M, Miller, Prof. Greer, Fred Fraser and J. Shannon. A good lot of business was done and the meeting was Interesting on account of tbe presence and participation of visiting brethren, Ferguson's period of good times has set in-and tho lethargy ofthe spring months has given way to activity and progression that is good to see and that has infused confidence into the breasts of those who through long waiting had got to the point where they believed this district would not be prosperous till direct railway transportation was obtained or smelters built for treatment of our ores at home. Nothing definite has been learned of railway construction this season, and no smelter is to be built that we are aware of, but we havo men coming who want our idle high grade proper* ties, and it is Been and believed that when more capital comes ln and thei splendid leads of the district are opened up the transportation problem will work out of itself. There is certainly enough business here to justify the C. P. R. In their own corporation Interest to build around Trout lake and into Ferguson this season, and the business would increase many times over after the road was built, but they are unwilling to make the outlay this year. Some of the large mining companies will not wait on the slow movement of the C. P. Ii., but are making the best of the situation that tbey find exists. The Silver Cup mines have a large force of men building a reduction works, a saw mill and an aerial tram, the latter to carry the ore to the concentrator. The same company will also erect a chlorln*-.tion plant for the treatment of tailings' from the concentrator. These plants will also treat the ores of the Nettie L. mine, and another tram to carry this ore down the hill is either started or about to be started. These works aro, we bellev.e, only the beginning of what will be ln this district la the shape of reduction and treating works. Right back of Fergu son, tjwerlng up to many hundreds of feet, Is the Great Northern mountain, which has been described as verily a mountain of ore. Some day ln the very near future these vast deposits will fall Into the hands of men who have money enough to erect a smelter for treating tbe ore and then there will be one of j the biggest mines In B. G, and as their reduction works must be within a half mile of town tbere Is no doubt that Ferguson's population will be Increased by several hundreds from this one source alono, Yukon'! Oold Output. Private advices from Dawson to wholesale merchants in Victoria are to the effect that the camp was never in a better condition than It Is today, and that there is a stronger feeling of confidence in tbe camp than, ever before, j It is estimated that the gold output will be equal to, lf not in excess, of last year's output, while the cost of production will be much less owing to the large amount of machinery now in operation on the creeks, and also on ae- count of the cheapened labor market. The gold output last year, according to the figures of Comptroller Lltbgow, of the Yukon, waB 1801.422.12 ounces, equal to $13,000,000, If estimated on a basis rate of 015 to the ounce gold value, The biggest wash-up last year was made In June, when 236,673.44 ounoet of gold wore cleaned up, j Total 13,225 tons The disposition of this coke was as follows!

Bounty. To the Editor ol tlie Lardeau EhrIc: Dear Sir���Before leaving Ottawa, the British Columbia Silver-Lead Minors' delegation desire to publicly express their appreciation, not only of the action of the government in acceding to their request for a bounty on lead, but also of the unvarying sympathy and consideration which they have receiv ed from the members of the cabinet during the necessary investigation of this important question. Too great credit cannot be given to Senator Templeman and our British Columbia members, especially tbe member for' Yale-Cariboo, for their un* wavering support of a cause which we are confident will work as much to the interest of the provinco as a whole, as to the mining districts In particular. The Insertion of this letter in your paper will greatly oblige, Yours truly, John L. Retallack, Chairman Silver-Lead Delegation. Ottawa, Ont., July 8th, 1003. Platinum at Poplar Creek. If the report that platinum has been found ln the veins at Poplar creek be confirmed on full Investigation,-then the most remarkable find ever known in minerology will havo to be placed to the credit of the Lardeau. The facts are as follows: According to G O. 'Woodrow, a strange mineral or 01'e looking like bluo quartz, wlil} specks of apparently arsenical iron was found by Alex Strand on an extension of the vein on Gilbert & Marcus' Gold Park proporty. Mr, Strand sent it to McGregor, tho cole brated assayer In Salt Lako City, Utah, who gave a return showing it produced five ounces of platinum to the ton. This assay induced Mr. Marcus to have an examination mado on thc same stuff which also occurs on his and bis partner's ground. He got a return of ono ounce of platinum to the ton. The news Is startling inasmuch as up to the presont thero is no authentic record of platinum occurring otherwise than In tho gold bearing placer gravels. Affeil Pontiff Dead.

Ottawa, July 18,��� The British Columbia members, Messrs. Smith, Mac pherson, Morrison, Eai'le and Galliher, met Messrs. Green and Wilson, the British Columbia delegates, yesterday, and had a talk with them over their mission to Ottawa. Messrs. Green anil Wilson admitted that their principal object in coming here was to endeavo: to get more money to carry on tho affairs of tho provinco, although thc Japanese question was talked over. The Liberals of Greenwood have hold a convention and nominated a lawyer of that town by the name of J. R. Brown to be their standard bearei in the provincial election. I. Ogle and A. R.

MeCloskey, the unfortunate man who lost his eyesight by an explosion at the Knob Hill'mine in June, 1002. The stage was) Very late in arriving, and it was thought the entertain**!* would not arrive in time, but members of the Miners' Union did their best to have it known that the ontcrtainmem would be given. Had tho affair been a littlo better advertised thore would have been a larger attendance. As it, was the net proceeds were $10. "Don't Butt In."

FRIDAY, JULY 24,1903. WILL IMPROVE TOWNSITE. In view of the wave of prosperity that has struck Ferguson, helped along no doubt by the bounty that has been placed on lead, but principally by the large expenditure that is being made by the Silver Cup and Great Western Mining companies in erecting permanent works adjoining the town, the owners of the townsite and their agent, H. Floyd, have decided at last to spend quite a sum of money in making needful improvements on the townsite. Work will begin at once to cut out more streets and clear lots, and io otherwise improve the townsite and to lessen the danger of fire, 'rom the brush, sweeping the town. EDITORIAL NOTES. We don't care how the people of Rossland and Nelson spell Lardeau. Let these people spend all the time they like in determining the correct spelling. We have always understood that the whole territory that lies along the Lardeau river and its tributaries through to where it empties into Kootenay lake, was included in the Lardeau district. The spelling of Lardo Is a local appellation given to the little village on Kootenay lake where the boats from Nelson make their upper terminus and the point from which the Lardeau branch was built to Trout lake. The territory or district is called Lardeau, but the proper spelling of lhe town is Lardo, while the pronunciation is the same. A. Johnson, proprietor of the Revelstoke Herald, accompanied by J. A. Darragh of Camborne, was in Ferguson Tuesday night in connection with a proposed tramway from Trout Lake to Ferguson, and on to Ten-Mile. If these gentlemen get sufficient encouragement their company will build the tram line this fall and have it running by the time the snow Hies. The proposition appears to have much merit nnd we trust the people of this section will consider the matter carefully. The steamboat Victoria leaves Trout Lake on Monday, Wednesday and Friday of each week at 3 o'clock, and boat leaves Nelson at same hour on the same days. This time is one hour earlier than last season's schedule, and is more convenient lor travellers, for the boat now reaches Trout Lake at midnight. ________ The Rossland World is an enterprising paper and the Eagle has no objection to furnishing live items of mining news to fill its columns, but when our esteemed contemporary reproduces half a dozen paragraphs frpm our columns without a word. of credit, all we can say is, that while we admire its gall, we have not a high opinion of its ethics. Hon. Mr. Justice Armour, one of Canada's foremost jurists, died in London, England, on the nth inst, Justice Armour was one of the British arbitrators on the Alaskan boundary tribunal. His place will possibly be filled by a British Co lumbia judge. The announcement in last week's Eagle that a new Lardeau gold company is to. be floated will create considerable interest, in view of the fact that the promoters are the men who have done most to make this a great camp. Most people who visit the Lardeau become enamored of our wonderfully rich mineral deposits that abound in this field which properly designated is one of nature's mineral storehouses. CONSERVATIVE PLATFORM. [Adopted at Revelstoke. September 13th, 1002.1 I. Tbat this convention reaffirms tbe policy ol the party in matters ol provincial roads and trails; tlie ownership and control of railways ami the dcvclonment of the agricultural re- soiines of the province as laid down iu the platform adopted in October, 1890, wblch Is as follows; "To actively aid in the construction of trails throughout the undeveloped portions of the province and the building of provincial trunk roadsof public necessity.

HADOW, Secretary. PARK HOTEL 4 Miles Below Ferguson on the Ferguson Beaton Road. REFURNISHED THROUGHOUT No bell boys or etcetras but a good wholesome meal serv* ed at any hour. Lots of fresh . milk and eggs. Saddle and pack horses for hire, CONTBACTS f OR PAOKINO. WM. GLENN, Proprietor, LARDEAU M-INES, LTD. The three claims owned by the company are the "Lardeau Queen," the "Lardeau King" and the "Lardeau Prince," all abutting end to end, through which three leads pass the entire length, situated at tbe head of Lexington ereok, in the Lardeau mining division of West Kootenay, British Columbia. These three olaims are located on the western slope of Goat Mountain, tbe lines being north-westerly and south-easterly, and form one complete portion of Mineral land of about 156 acres. They lie 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 tbat 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 limo dyke, and the croppings of tbe leads are generally topped with heavy iron capping and quartz, which gives assays from $8 upon the surface. VEINS AND WORK DONE, Exploitation consists of'two open cuts along the surface for a distance of twenty feet, which exposed a body of argentiferous galena over 8 inches in width. The value of this ore body was $25,110 on the surface, but at a depth of less than three feet it has increased to $40.60. To tap this or.o showing and the massive iron capped ledge close to whioh it lies the present tunnel was commenood and is now in a distance of 82 feet-. Another .25 feet of crosscutting should reach this ledg3 at a depth of about 125 feet. When 61 feet had been'drlven, an ulmost'solid body of iron ore three feet thick was encountered in the tunnel lying against a wall of slate. A sample at this point assayed 877.60 in -.old, silver, copper and lead. At a distance of 14 feet from this lead a fine body of ore has been encountered 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 wblcb contains tbe richest ore and widest surface showing, will be reached about July 1st. This ledgo when encountered, will be from 12 to 15 feet wide and great results are expected. The property has an excellent surface showing. The avorage assays are most encouraging, considering the great width and con- tinuancy of the leads across the country with such great width and prominence of the surface1 judging from other properties in the near vicinity, some of which are on tbe same lead and have developed very rich ore bodies. In conclusion I would say that tho Lardeau Mines are as good as any, if not the best, in the vicinity, 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.
