. i LIBERAL TiWAI.BR CHOSEN. At the Liberal party caucus held in Victoria on the 19th instant, R. L. Drury, John Oliver, W. W. B. Mclnnes, James A. Macdonald and Stuart Henderson were' nominated for leader of the party. The first two retired before a vote was taken, then there were three ballots taken belore Mr. James A. Macdonald, M. L. A. for Rossland was finally elected. The new leader, though a man not very Well known as a politician, is a good lawyer and enjoys an extensive practice and he is said to be a man of good ability, The Liberals will no doubt feel happy once more iu having a leader whp represents the choice of the whole party instead ot a small faction at the coast. NOTES. A strike seems imminent of the engineers and firemen on the C. P. R. The trouble originated in Winnipeg and is over a schedule similar to one prevailing on the Great Northern and Northern Pacific sys. terns. The engineers and firemen ol the C. P. R. running heavy tonnage engines, lately adopted by the company, claim to be the poorest paid men in similar positions on any line on the continent. The committees Of the orders have been in Montreal for some time trying to effect a settlement, but so far without success, and it is expected that action will be taken shortly either by the company or the men. The McBride governmenl, true to its pre-election promises, have started in to cut down expenses of government. So far they have dis charged employees, whom they be* lieved unnecessary, mostly in the departments at Victoria and Van couver that will mean a saving to the public treasury ot at least $20,000 annually, and they say the paring is not done yet.

C, OCTOBER 30, 1903. a Year Points Out tho Inconsisteno es of the Interview With William Fleet Bobertson, Has the Mineralogist, a .Right to Give Information in Advance of Official Report. J Ferguson, B. C, Oct. 20,1003. To the Editor ol thc Lardeau Eagle: Dear Sir : On my return here from a recent trip to 'Spokane my attention waa directed to an article in the Vancouver World of October Kith, under tbo following head: "Exaggerated��� Reports of Poplar Creek Made by Boomsters,". being a reproduction of .in alleged interview had by the Victoria Times with William Fleet j Robertson, provincial mineralogist. ' As the interview is in many respects i misleading, and by reason of Mr. | Robertson mentioning two certain properties in.whlch I am interested, I desiro to ask you for spaco for this { letter, a courtosy I believe you will bo * kind enough to grant mo. J The interview states, among other 5 things, tbat tho rich ���old strikes at 1 Poplar ereek havo boen exaggerated; that the*.prov|neial mineralogist, at " tho time of'his-'recont hurried visit,* made a very careful survey of tbe scene of said strikes, aud that certain parties are booming properties on th'e strength of tho phenomenal discoveries. Two groups���the Lucky Jack and the Swede group���are mentioned tho interview, These two properties aro owned by tho Groat Northern Mines, Ltd,, of which I am the pro- motor. I tako emphatic exception to the interview, if the ptovincial mineralogist has beon correctly reported, on tho following grounds: First, because Ur, Robertson, being in the employ of tho government and sent by that government to oxamino Poplar eroek, had no right to give out, in advance of his official report, any information regarding the camp. Information, too, that ho must havo known was grossly misleading and capable of doiug irretrievable injury lo that section of tho Lardeau. Secondly, becauso Mr. Robertson, as stated in tho interview, did not "make a careful survey of tho strikes," as he alleges, but on tho contrary visited only a fow claims, and Is therefore In no position to givo an intelligent opinion of tho section ho was sent to report upon. Thirdly, that ho oan point to no mining engineer,; prospector or other person versed in the veriest rudiments of mining, wlio has visited tho seeno of the strikes, who has not freoly stated that their phenomenally rich surface showings were not exaggerated iu any way. And fourthly, that by reason of the said strikes Poplar and other creeks were boing boomed unworthily to at* tract capital for legitimate mining Investment. At the time of the discovery of the rich gold quartz veins at Poplar creek the strikes were regarded by mining men and prospectors as tho most phenomenal had in the history of quart:: mining in this section of the province. Were they discovered anywhere but in an easily accessible locality���right on the lino of railway���a rush would have been started to the scene of tlio discovery unprecedented In tho history i..f mining in the interior of tho province. Because the company I represent went to tbe expense of collecting an ore exhibit ol great value and sent it to the Nelson, New Westminster and The 'Duke of Devonshire Elected President of the Froo Food League by Aoolamation, Ohamberlain'S'Propo3al3 for Changing the Fiscal Policy Receive Muoh Adverse Criticism.

If tho cost of sending this exhibit nod advertising to the world tbo richness of the Lardeau is not a legitimate method and a worthy causo to attract capital to our section, then, sir, tbe gentlemon associated with me, and myself, may bo classed by Mr. Robertson and tho coast press as "boomsters," we certainly can stand it.

John Charlton, M. P., has boon in Cloveland preaching reciprocity. In his speech beforo the Manufacturers' association* he said: "Reciprocity of trade in natural products will arrest the drift uf events that set towards hostility of sentiment, and will lead toward the broadening of trade relations." ra pointed financial secretary to tho treasury, speaking at Derby tlio same uight, made somo interesting revelations. He said .ho also had written a letter, resigning his post as treasurer to King 'Edward's household, hut ho "did not mail it." lie explained that he did not liko tho idea of retaliation but now ho believed it was necessary "to defend tlieir trade." Mr. Cavendish is credited with being a froe trader and his consent to remain iu the govornmont created comment at tho timo of the crisis. Chief Irish secretary Wyndham, whose declaration on the fiscal question has been awaited with consider able interest, in speaking nt Dover an nounco'l himself .is thoroughly in accord witli Premier llalfnurand Joseph Chamberlain on fiscal matters, and he paida tribute to tlio former colonial secretary as "the man wiio has seen tho lack of wisdom of tho nation entering the commercial lists without arms and without armour.'' Tho meeting was enthusiastic although the mention of Mr. Chamber- Iain's name provoked somo interruption. Replying to the dlsturbors, Mr. Wyndham declared that Mr. Chamberlain was still of tlio party if not of tho government; that ho bad gone ahead to reconnoitre thepatb for the Unionist army, and that ho had resigned in ordor not to commit tho Unionists to follow him unless tliey were convinced of the wisdom of his course. Mr. Wyndham said the American tariff in 18110 was the greatest protectionist tariff ever introduced in the history of the world and that its results refuted the declaration that protection killed industry in tho country. This had also boon proved, ho contended, by recent history in Franco and Germany. In conclusion,Wyndham said ho was not a protectionist, but a champion of free trade and he wns willing to tight for lt,but he declaroththat tojdlscardjthe armour of retaliation was to enter the {.contest In a night gown.

That diamond drill exploration in tho Lo Noi deep levels had disclosed oro hollies bas boon more or loss generally known for somo time, but the magnitude of tlio deposits thus located was an unknown quantity and the figures aro rcceivod with deep satisfaction.

That success has boen attained at tho LeRoi No. 2 concentrator is indicated by tbo figures as to recovery given out. It is already demonstrated that tho Elmore oil process will treat Rossland ores ovon moro satisfactorily than was believed possible, and that tho only further problem to be solved in respect of its application is that uf reducing milling charges to the lowest possible notch in ordor to enhance jthc scope of the process. Tbo Kootenay mine shipped during the latter part of tho week and will increase its shipments next week when furtbor teams will he employod ln hauling ore from the mine to tlie Spokane Falls and Northern depot. Tho Spitzeo, Jumbo, War Eaglo, Center Star, LeRoi, Josie and Kootenay mines have operated steadily along the usual lines, while the O. K. mill has been running continuously on ore from the I X L dumps under the Craven lease.���Nelson News Silver is soaring above (10 cents with a prospect of tracking 65 beforo Christmas. This has a tendency to cause the mine and prospect owners to givo close attention to thoir erstwbilo unworked silver-lead properties. Thero is no doubt in the minds of tho well-informed that silver will 'keep up in prico and will go higher than it is now. Tho consumption of silvor is increasing from <ycar to yoar, wi.ilo the world's output iias been on the decrease. It is staled that tiie United Stater, alono used more silver during tho past twelve months than tho entire production of the world for tho same period. In tho Lardeau we havo many large silver-lead properties whose ure is very high grade, and \yith tho stimulus of the lead bounty and tiie riso in tbe price of silver wo look to sec capitalists pouring into the country early in 1004 to get hold of mining proporty. Y*'hen the concentrator is completed the Silver Cup and Nettio L will start shipping on a iarero scale; itisholicved the tonnage will be gronler per month than tho previous combined tonnagaiif all the mines in the Lardeau and this alono 'should enthuse new lifo into tno camp. - The Mountain Lion, south property, has continued to show up remarkably well under tlie development of the past year and the last reports were that considerable ore would be marketed dur* iDg the coming winter. Tho Ethel and Lucky Hoy mines havo grown to larger proportions than tho owners anticipated in so short a timo and dally shipments havo been made all summer, These properties will bo developed hy a substantial forco through the winter aad shipments will continue. Tho Black Prince group, situated about six miles abovo. Ten Milo and and owned by A. .1. Booker and associates, lias been developed during tho summer to a point where shipments have commenced, nut steadily, but ono lot is being shipped and others will follow at intervals. This property, it is expected, will be worked through the winter, and next season it will bo hoard of regularly. On the Statutes. Tho Nelson Daily News received a message on Monday last from W. A.

FRIDAY. OCTOBER 30, 1003. E3.E_.LY DISAPPOINTED Canadians of all political creeds and affiliations feel keen disappointment over the result of the Alaskan boundary award. The only difference, the Conservatives blame the Liberal government at Ottawa for laxness in not preparing a stronger case to lay belore the tribunal, and the Liberal leaders lay the blame on the mother country, thinking, no doubt, that Lord Alverstone was influenced in his decision by the wish of England. Great Britain no doubt wishes to foster the friendly relations between herself and the United States, for we know the Dominion government in the past has been asked to disallow anti Japanese legislation that has passed the British Columbia house. It is quite possible there is some truth in lhe contentions of. both the political parties in Canada. At any rate this country has lost a case that we thoroughly believed we should win and in this matter we have to swallow our medicine and our humiliation with the best grace we can muster. Mr. Aylesworth, one of the Canadian commissioners, gave expression to the following significant words belore leaving London for home: "The Canadians feel so strongly on this subject that, although there will be no cry of separation, they probably will demand a large power ol sell-gevern- ineiit in order to prevent, in the future, a repetition ol such decisions." when, as in the case of the Lardeau, private enterprise develops and opens the country to such a condition that a railway would be a paying proposition from the start, we think when a company holds a charter for a road it should either build or relinquish the charter. Jim Hill of the Great Northern system wanted a charter to build into the Lardeau but the C. P. R. got in ahead, They built the first section and are now lying back waiting with the keys in their pocket for there to be a fortune in the trans portation of the district before they cymplete the road. EDITORIAL NOTES. The Butte Reveille is becoming more of a newspaper and less a partizan political sheet since Heinze won his long-standing suit against the Amalgamated Copper Co. The recent steady advance in the quotations for silver will prove very gratifying news to the silver-lead property owners of the Lardeau, for with silver selling above 6o cents most any of our properties could be made good dividend payers. Then buyers are very anxious to get silver at the prices quoted, and there is every probability of the price remaining high. ��� Nelson city is not to have representation in Premier McBride's cabinet after all, though it was accepted as a foregone conclusion that John Houston, M, L. A., would get the lands and works department, It was a question of course for Premier McBride to decide whether or not it was wise to reopen the Nelson riding and the premier has evidently decided in the negative.

J. JOHN PHILLIPS, Secretary, 11 Waverly Place, Rnom 15, New York City. WHAT DOES IT MEAN? A number ot C, P. R, officials have visited the Lardeau during the past four weeks. What does it mean ? It surely means that the big company realizes that the timo has come or is near at hand when tliey must do something in the way bf improving the transportation facilities in this section ofthe country. They recognize that (hough they hold the keys to this great stors* house of unlive undeveloped wealth; this probably the most richly mineralized district in the wide world, the time is near at hand when they must open a way for our resources, both mineral and timber, to bi marketed. The same company held a monopoly of the transportation business of Manitoba and the Northwest territories for many years and they would not give the people fair treatment, but their stubbornness and greed led to the building of competing systems of railroad. It is very well lo be careful and move slowly when conditions that exist will not warrant thc the expenditure of opening new districts by building railroads, but The supporters of J. M. Kellie, the defeated Liberal candidate, have decided to protest the election ol Thos. Taylor, M, L. A. on the grounds of alleged bribery and corruption. It is not expected, however, that the trial will come on for six weeks or two months. The Conservatives feel quite confident that nothing will come of the protest. Ferguson is much in need of a live mining broker. We have no one who makes' a business of bringing the capitalist and the claim- owner together and consequently very few on the outside know about the fine properties that are lying idle all over , this district. There should be lots of claims about Ferguson just as good as the now famous Silver Cup, Nettie L and Triune mines, and all that is required to prove their worth is a judicious expenditure of a reason* able sum of money. There are certainly good opportunities for n bright broker in this town. Drugs ana- Stationery Proscriptions Carefully nnd ..Accurately Compounded.. A. F. RANKINE P. O.

A press dispatch from Washington says: The commission on international exchange, which was appointed'last spring by President Roosevelt at the request of the governments of Mexico and China to establish a gold exchange standard in silver-using countries, especially in China, announces that its work was entirely successful. The commission's work was chiefly directed to securing the approval o! the leading powers to a plan for gold exchange standard in China, and incidentally no get the powers to adopt a similar system in the Orient. The commission in co-operation with a similar commission from Mexico, conferred with special commissions composed of financiers of Great Britain, the Netherlands, France, Germany and Russia. It was agreed that the introduction of a uniform gold standard system would be advantageous to China and countries which have commercial dealings with hot',''but there was a difference of opinion as to whether tho gold standard should be established at the beginning or cctne after the introduction of a uniform national currency upon a silver basis. Five powers, Germany, France, the Netherlands, Mexico and thc United States, agreed to the method to becin tho Ibsuo of the new currency at gold values. The report of the commissioners, Charles A. Conant, of the Morton Trust Co., Prol_**8or J. W. Jenks, of Cornell, and H. H. Hanna, of In dianapolls, concludes: "The work has been begun successfully, even beyond the anticipations formed by the commission at the outset. The study of the subject has brought into clear light the great difficulties of tbo task, but it has mado^till more evident 'the great benefits that are to como both to the silver countries and to Europe and the United Slates from tho success of the movement when it is finally assured,1' R.
