Its discovery is the result of development work which has been going on for the past year. The ore varies greatly in value, but most of it runs $12 to $15. Rossland Shipments. A report of tho oro shipments of Rossland camp and other mining news is at hand. Up to Feb. 20th tho ship ments were as follsws: Le Roi, 5,370 tons; Centre Star, 1,350; War Eaglo, 1,200; Kootenay, 210; Jumbo, 350; Lo Roi No. 2, 570; Le Roi No. 2 (milled), 340; Spitzoc, 200. Total for th? week, 9,590 tons, and for the year to date, 02,000 tons. Tho event of tho week was the report of tho Lo Roi annual mooting, and the announcement of $50,000 profits in Jan- uary. It is believed here that this record can bo maintained readily in tho future, owing to tho developmout of large and good grado oro bodies ln the Lo Roi deep levels.

Ward and Olnoy Reid, two of Ferguson's six-footers of Nova Scotian rearing, startod out bright and early Saturday morning last in search of a rare species of animal that is supposed to exist near tho source of tbe south fork of the Lardeau rivor. They loft Ferguson heavily packed, gunned and knlved, intending to pitoh camp somewhere near the mountain summit that rises above Ten Milo, and there await the appearing of tho animal above ro ferred to. Some persons maintain that these gentlemen aro on the samo scent as woro two other hunters who rendez- youed near Ton Milo some two months since, and who wore reported to have had a unique experience with a certain well known animal that is frequently mot in the woods. However, we did not believe that story; it did not sound realistic enough for tho Lardeau frontier : but at tho samo time, that makes this story none the less true. A " Wonkifinmad has never been captured or 6hot lo our knowledge in this district, and if the hunters secure one it will make the Lardeau famous as a hunting resort, and also make heroes of Messrs. Ward and Raid. Tbey also hope to bag numerous cariboo and bear of all kinds, mafy orders having being booked for heads and pelts before leaving. Wo may say this hunting trip is no birthday dream. It was conceived in sincerity and aftermaturedellberation, and the Eagle's best wishes are extended for the success of tho gentlemen's enterprise and daring. FOR KOREA.

" What was the former rate ?" "Tho rate was 371 eonts per ton to oaoh of theso point... Tho reduction is 71 cent.*) per ton." "What aro tho distances over which the ore is hauled ?" "Grand Forks Is 23.7 miles from Phoenix, Greenwood 20 milos, and Boundary Falls 25 miles," roplied Mr. Macdonnell. Property Changed Ownership. Frank Barber, until Monday bookkeeper for S.

The hotel is the largest in Ferguson, is well furnished, lighted by electricity, heated by furnace, and is ln shapo to accommodate a large number of guests. Mr. Barber is a pioneer of the Lardeau, and knows everybody, therefore ho should got his share of patronage. Ho is an Englishman by birth, but lias beon in tho Canadian west long enough to have gained a thorough knowledge of western peoplo nnd their ways.

Thero is a very general Impression in tho minds of smokers that tho moor schauin part of the pipo, whieh they treasure so carefully and tako so much prldo and satisfaction in "coloring," iu compressed sea foam. Such, however, is not the caso. The German word meerschaum means, In English, foam of tbe sea, but its formation has nothing to do with the sea. It is a kind of clay, comes out of mines like coal and is found only in Turkoy. The miners at Snow Creek, Oregon, havo struck. Thoy were getting $3 for nine hours' work. They demund $3.50 and ton hours. The fact of them asking for a longer working day will bo interpreted as an evidence of lunacy by the Colorado agitators.���Ores and Metals.

Both the Americans and British arc endeavoring to arrange the removal of foreign women and children from Plng- yang and Auju to Seoul. There-are many Americans and English in both places.

British officers declare openly that it is au improvement ovor anything in their experience, and stato that it indicates an organization superior to anything in Europe, Japan's action in Korea amounts to au acceptance of responsibility of tho safety of foreigners throughout Korea, and all apprehensions of local disturbances have been allayed.

The second convention of the British Columbia Mining Association was opened at Victoria on Monday last. The attendance was not so numerous as last year, except from the larger cities, which vied with each other in an effort to get control of the association as far as possible, and to secure whatever advantages that might be going, as well as to safeguard the interests of the district with which they are most closely identified. The association has certainly been a means of doing much good to the mining industry, although it has been criticized with seeming justice for extravagance in the use ot.lunds at the disposal of the executive. However, the association is a very useful and necessary organization in this province, and its scope of usefulness will become broader as it gets older. Its suggestions will also have more weight when it attains greater permanency ; that is, when it Is seen lhat the institution is here to stay. While the association has not so many members as it had one year ago, it has better officers and consequently belter management, and we confidently hope to see a very strong executive elected tor the coming year. Since the last convention was held, great changes for the better are noticeable all over the province; the country seems to have entered upon a new era ot prosperity.and nothing can fosterthis growth so much as a goorl live association.to safeguard the interests of the country's chief industry. While Ferguson is not directly represented, yet there are many warm sympathisers with the body in our town. EDITORIAL NOTES. By instructions from the general manager of the Imperial Bank of Canada, the Branch at Ferguson wiP, until further notice, be kept open only on Tuesday and Friday each week. The bank offices will be retained, but the staff will go to Trout Lake, one member coming up on the days specified to do business at this branch. Mr. Macdonald, the manager, has assurance from headquarters that the new arrangement is only temporary, the present volume of business not warranting the maintenance of two branches in the Lardeau, and Trout Lake is more c >n\eni?nt!y situated to control the bank's business at Poplar and Camborne. Tlie nations of Europe are becoming alarmed at the war proposition ol the far east, fearing that mo.-t of the larger powers may be drawn into the conflict. They do not wish this to come about, but a false move would do it. France, England and Germany are prepar ing lor the worst, and a note of warning lias also been sounded in . .j L.iUe-i States Congress, France has notified Spain to be ready in case Great Britain makes a move in India. There are golden opportunities for prospectors who are industrious in the Lardeau, and we expect the hills between Ferguson and Poplar, which have never been more than casually looked over, will be thoroughly searched for free gold in the season that is drawing near. Gold was traced last autumn right through to Ferguson, then the snow came and the search was postponed. Silver is away up again. The rise comes at a good time of the year, and we may expect the tonnage of Kootenay ore shipments to increase accordingly, for in the past the output has been influenced largely by the price ol the metals. Let the price ascend���the country can bear it. Beyond a few transfers of interests in mining claims, the month of February has been remarkably quiet in mining circles throughout the Lardeau, Still, we look for matters to brighten very shortly, and hope to see things better than ever belore when the season opens properly.

Tho town of Poplar Is agitating for a bank. We hope tliey got one. Mr. and Mrs. II. Godsoo, of Trout Lake, were visitors in Forguson on Tuesday. Thc Ferguson driving club had a littlo outing as fur as Trout Lake on Wednesday afternoon. ' A number of the Silvor Cup miners aro in Ferguson enjoying tho amusements of metropolitan life. Rev. II. A. Solly, episcopal minister of Trout Lake, paid a visit to the For- gu.-.on hospital on Tuesday. Nearly every mining camp in the country anticipates a boom in tlie spring not even excepting Sandon. J. B. Manross, wife and child, went out Wednesday morning to spend a month at Kamloops, whore Mrs. Manross has a sister, Thc boat from the south was lato on Wednesday nigbt, consequently there was no mail assorted iu Ferguson till next morning. When we remember thc predicament wo wero in last year with no mails and nothing but snow, wo feci that wo are singularly favored this year. Alex, Crawford, of Beaton, proprietor of tho stage lino and freighting aud livery stables doing business all over tho Lardoau, was in Ferguson Tuesday. Notwithstanding the two big mines of Ferguson camp being closed, the company owning them havo more man in tbeir employment at Five Mile than they had at tho mines iu previous wiu- ters. Numcrouscommercial travellers have been drumming tbe Lardeau towns du. ring tho past week. They find it very convenient to be able to mako connections from Nelson through the Lardeau to Revelstoke. It looks vory much as if Ferguson peoplo would be a warm lot next summer, for tho weather has continued too mild all winter to make ice for packing purposes. Drinks, ice cream, etc., will have to be served hot. Ferguson has a branch of tho government circulating library, which has a large number of patrons. Tho books in this library are choice selections of fiction, history, travel, biography nnd scientific works. Mr. A, P. Rankino is local librarian. Every Indication points to the fact that tho Lardeau is destined to be the great free gold district of Canada. There are more lodes of payable gold quartz thore than in any yther section twice its size between the Atlantic and the Pacific���Rossland Miner. Andy Craig and Ed. Hillman are pushing development on tho Horseshoe at a rapid pace. Thoy are preparing to ship another carload of ore. Tho shipments in the past have given a g.'oss value of $150 per ton. Tho Horseshoe is known to be a good properly. J. C. Kirkpatrick says Ferguson's streets will be crowded with people Inside ot two months. We would advise the oity fathom to bo prepared for the rush, and havo tho snow shoveled from tho walks. That may be why tho Imporial bunk will havo tho bulk of their cash removed to Trout Lake, J. C. Nosbltt, of Trout Lake, has sold only one of his many properties on Rapid and Poplar creeks. Jack says he will need to get enough money to start a bank before ho could be induced to part with all his holdings in that camp. We knew Jack years ago, and he* had a habit then of acquiring good things. Well, ho was roared in the right country for that. Today is near the end of February, and there are no signs of Trout Lake freezing over and navigation closing. Neither is there any sign of navigation being interfered with by lee or snow over the north eastern arm of Arrow lakes. Should our hopes be realized in this respect, it will be the first winter . of uninterrupted communication with outside points that we have known. Locals With i�� Payitreak, How is your printing ?
