Vol. IV, No 21. Ferguson, B. C, JULY 3, 1903. $2 a Year J Dl jun to the New Gold Fields on Poplar and Rapid Creeks���Good Assay Returns. The EACLE'S contention that the mountains in tbe Lardeau are a vast storehouse of gold is only boginning to be demonstrated as the hills become prospected and enough work is dono so that it may be known what is below the grass roots. Tho Eaole has expressed the opinion repeatedly that a great wide zone exists from Fish river, across the range, taking iu the Ophir-Lade: Badshot, Nottie L., Triune, Silvor Cup and on to Poplar and Rapid crocks. Somo prospectors in doing their assessments this spring on Rapid creek, happened to notico bits of gold sticking out of the quartz. Since then tlie prospectors working in the vicinity have paid better attention to the quartz they were taking out, with the rosult of finding lots of tho yellow metal. A week ago It was found in larger quan titles, end it caused great excitement when it became known on the outside that thore was lots of quartz in sight which assayed $11,1)00 to the ton. It has been proven that the uew strike's are directly in line, lying in the same bolt or zone as tho leads that are turning out so rich on Fish creek near Camborno, and it seems tbat the ex treme ends of the zone are muoh alike ln formation, in the character of quartz and in the quality of native gold. Thero is a vast area of ground lying between these two points, easily followed and easy to prospect, but as yet only partially exploited; in fact, only examined here and there at Intervals. There are, however, a number of mag* nificent properties located in tbe belt. Some arc steady shippers, others are only ln tho prospeot stage, yet while many of these earry high values which is mado up mostly in silver, they all contain values in gold. Experience in mining teaches ono that, the lirst best thing to do in setting out to prospect for precious minerals Is to find a good mineral belt and then go to work systematically to And leads that aro not located. Veins of mineral run In zones, but the different veins of a zone differ very muoh ln quality, quantity and value, so while there is one good known lead there are certainly others it they can be found. The best or the poorest may have been the first located, but1] there are a thousand chances of one finding the best at any time, and no matter how much tho ground may have been: prospected. It would be absurd for one to say that there Is not better ground open for location tn tba -jj^brtJoular zone of which this article; refers particularly, than what people are now going wild about today, for there are miles of ground ln the space between Poplar creek and Camborne, of whioh Ferguson is the centre, and It has been proven that the gold continues all the way. JACK CHISM EXCITED. Jack Chism was down to the scene of the prosent excite*��Mnt a month since, before there was any particular excitement, and be locatedfour claims quite near tbe claims from which the present excitement emanated. Chlsm's olaims lie between Poplar and Rapid creeks. One group Is called the Heels and Jack says the quartz looked good to him, though no gold was visible to the naked eye, The other group*, the Skookum, has fine, clean looking white quartz, and a lead four feet wide; s, pretty vein with free walls and cutting tbe formation, but Iio did uot hope it would carry high values. Since ho has heard of the excitement he got the samples assayed and was elated to find the smaller vein on the Hecla carries a value of $31) in free gold. Tho white quartz from the Skookum gives a value of $17, so Mr. Chism very properly thinks he has somothing decidedly good. Beforo ho left the property a month ago he uncovered the ledgo for a distance of 300 feet, or rather he uncovered it every 50 foet for tho above distance and broke oil' a bit of the quartz. So the sample assayed from the Hocla was what an expert would call a fair test. - Lardeau .Hues. The Vancouver Province of June 26th, has the following to say as regards our mines In this district: "The roports of extremely rich discoveries in the Lardeau district, which havo been received recently, cannot bo entirely floutod even by the most pessimistic. The reports may bo exaggerated, although it is to be hoped that they aro not; but that the whole district is extremely valuable from a mineral standpoint was long ago placod beyond dispute. There has been a disposition on tho part of those who would depreciate our mineral country to say that the properties in the Lardeau are pockety aud cannot last very'long. This probably has beon found to he tho case in some instances, but we have as assuredly other instances in which the continuity of large ore veins has beon placed absolutely beyond question. And in many of these instances these ore veins have been exceedingly rich Already many of the mine owners of tee district about Ferguson bave repaid themselves abundantly for years of labor and years of waiting by a few ship ments to the smeltor. When wo consider, too, that in these casos the immense profits realized havo been in the face of very great cost for shipment we can understand how rich the ore must be. It has often been Bald by those w ho have given the greatest attention to our mineral areas that it was only a question of time when British Columbia would be recognized as tho bost field for Investments which exists, and these predictions aro coming to bo realized. Pack Train Was Swept Awny. News was received at Chilliwack on J une 27th of the loss of an entire pack train of six horses in Silieia creek. Tho train was en route to the Mount Baker mining district loaded with supplies, and lt was ln attempting to cross the creek mentioned above, which is now swoolen, that the animals were washed away, together with their loads of supplies. The train was owned and operated by H. Walters. - The high water at Sumas has compelled many of '.,.e settlers to leave their homes and they arc now being cared for by their neighbors at Sardis. All the stook was driven to high land, but tho crops In that district, whioh is undyked, will be entirely lost. Imperial Bunkor Cnnadii. The annual general meeting of the shareholders ot the Imperial Bank of Canada was held at the bead office of tbe bank at Toronto Wednesday, June 24th. ..';_;. Tbe 28th annual statement wat} read, and showed that the. net profits for tho year ending May 31st, 1903, was S4SC,- 128.12. The bank; has paid a dividend for the year of 10 per cent., and after adding 1100,000 to the rest account from the profits of the year, carry forward at credit of profit and loss account $160,386.27. The rest account now amounts to 12,636,312, while the paid up capital is 12,983,806. A number of Fernie business men have, taken up a large quantity of coal lands at the head of Elk river. TWC Several Properties Have Started Work Since Our Last Issue-Camp Is Getting Active. The Crackshot group of four claims on Macdonald ereek are to havo considerable work dono in development this season. Tho owners, Messrs. J. B, Manross and Giis Peterson, came into Ferguson from the Boundary country and on Monday outfitted and pushed through to the property. Tbey would have been in sooner only they thought the proporty would be inaccessible oa account of snow, but they saw in tho Eagle a report of how rapidly the snow had disappeared in tho lust fort* night, and so came right along. These Kontlemon are both practical miners and they will do most of tho work themselves. Mr. Manross is thinking vory strongly of moving his family from Deadwood, B. C, to Ferguson, and resido here permanently. Mr. Peterson has not been In the Lardeau since 1807, when ho and Mr. Manross discovered tlicabove mentioned claims, BLACK WARRIOR TO START. S, Shannon, local manager for the Black Warrior Mining Syndicate, has Instructions ftom (managing director) M. B. Webber of Winona, Minn., to let a contract for 150 feet of work on the property. The character of this work will not be known exactly until Mr. Shannon returns from a visit to tho Warrior at the end of the week. Work will be started inside of a fortnight. With further development of this amount of work the property should cortainly look good and there Is little doubt but that the management will, at the conclusion of the contract, establish a permanent camp and con* tinue development. The Warrior lies right in the famous Lardeau high grade mineral belt, and has one of the finest surface showings in that highly mineralized zone. THE I, X. L. Dr. Malloy, accompanied by E. A. Haggan, returned Wednesday evening from a visit to the I. X. L., on Brown crock. This was Dr. Malloy's first visit this year, and he had not seen the property since thc 300-foot tunnel had been driven. He says the property shows au improvement oqual to 100 per cent sinco last fall. The 300-foot tunnol Is ln ore all tho way and the ore is richer than In tho upper tunnel, showing that the property is getting richor with depth. A shipment of six tons was sont to tho smelter sinco January. THE MOHECAN GROUP. A, L. Houston, superintendent of the Mohecan, camo down from tbe mine Tuesday night to get mall and a few necessary articles for the mino. Ho says tbe (property is looking 'fide and they have' 100 sacks of oro ready to pack out to mkke a milling .est. The company is going ahead quietly and trying to make a mine out of a very desirable prospect. It looks as if they would succeed. THE UNION JACK. H. M. Carter and Lew Thompson are getting splendid encouragement ln the long tunnel that they are running on the above property. Bunches of nice, clean ore are encountered right along, and they feel that a good body of ore is not far distant. They are determined to keep working till they get lt. THE TRIUNE. Another lot of men were sent up to the Triune Tuesday morning, tog ..her with more pack horses loaded with supplies. A party who came down Tuesday told the Eagle that they wero getting things in good shape right at tho mino but work on tho tram had not beon startod. Foreman Dodds went up with the mon on Tuesday. PREVENTION Of FIRES. Notlco Given by Department of Forestry ���Warning to Campers. On June 15th, at Ottawa, superintendent of forestry, issued the following: "Public notico is hereby given that necessary arrangements havo beon mado for tho proper and prompt enforcement of the provisions of tho law for tho prevention of prairie and forest titcs throughout Manitoba, the North Wost Territories, and within the railway belt iu the provinco of British Columbia, and any persons violating in any way tho said provisions will render thomsolves liable to tho utmost penalty provided in that behalf. "Special attention is called to the necessity for tho greatest caution being observed in tlio use of flro by settlers, campers and others during tho dry summer months, and to the penalty imposed for violation of the provisions of the law in this regard. Tho penalties vary from $5 to $200, besides any that may be imposed by civil action for damages caused by such fires. Tho following rules must be observed: "(1.) In building a camp ilro choose a place that Is sheltered from the wind and clear away any moss or inflammable material surrounding it. "(2) Be sure to thoroughly extinguish your oamp fire before leaving it. "(3) Be careful not to throw a cigar stub or match on the prairie or in tho woods before it is extinguished. "(4) Settlers desiring to burn brush and log heaps in clearing their land must do so at the proper season of thc year, and not allow the fire to escape from their premises, "(5) All employers of labor shall seo tbat their employees, whose work is in tlio open air, are furnished with copies of tho act respecting prairie and forest fires or othar Instructions in rogard thereto, as sueh employers are responsible for any violation of the law caused by their servants. "As ever; person in the community is liable during the dry seasons to suffer more or lest by prairie or forest fires, and as lt Is an undoubted fact that in most eases these are started through carelessness, it is hoped that these suggestions will be observed. 'Settlers are toerefore earnestly ro- quostod to co-operate in every way possible with the officers of tho government with a view to tho prevention of fires and the strict enforcement of tbe law lu that behalf."

Preparations are being made in all tho constituencies of the province for tho great political fray that will take place next fall. No conventions have been hold yet to select candidates, but there is much string pulling, and by the way, a great deal of selfishness is boiug exhibited in different ridinge by parties who would like to occupy a seat in tho next houso, irrespective of their fitness for sueh a position or the rights of some other ono. However, there is very often more selfishness in polities than honest desire for good government. Strong partisans want to seo thoir party in power above everything: tho sathe -vitU all parties including Socialists, Labor and Progressives, and it is tho same tne world over. Poople voto for tho party which thoy believe will do the most to bettor thoir condition, and it is quito right that they should. What is admired most in a man is not that ho Belongs to the same party, but rather that ho is a consistent follower oi the party that he espouses. In thc Kaslo riding, of whieh Forguson forms a part, thero is nothing settled as to who will bo candidates, although there is a lot of talking beiiii,* indulged in. It is understood tbat Hon. K. F. Green, minister of minos, will lie the Conservative candidate, and ex- Mayor Goodenough of Kaslo, is mentioned as the probable Liueral candidate. Then S. Shannon, an -assayer (if Ferguson, and A. J. Gordon, also of Ferguson, are spoken of as Socialist oi Labor Socialist candidates. In tho Revelstoke riding Thos. Taylor, who sat in tlio last house, seoms lo be the favorite for tho conservative", while Bennett has been asked to be the Socialist standard bearer. Tbo Liberals evidently havo so much or so little material available that thoy cannot mako a choice. It looks pretty Burethat thoro will bo three and possibly four candidates in both the Kaslo and the Hovelstoko ridings. NOTES. King Peter has takon tho oath as sovereign of Servia.

This day is universally observed in some form from die end of the Dominion to the .ither, for it is the birthday of the country. On July ist, 1867, the late Sir John A. Macdonald and his associates accomplished the great work of the 19th century, as far as I'ahada is concerned, and inaugurated thc provinces of Canada into -ne great confederation. Op to the time of confederation Canada did not make such rapid progress as was expected; the states of the i'nion to the south had an advant age in population and established industries which assisted largely toward rapid settlement. After con federation Canada was blessed with good government and the country prospered. A stream cf immigrants poured in, industrial enterprises were encoureged and fostered with a result that the young men of tbe Dominion no longer found it necessary to remove to the United States in order to get employment. Then Canada's great national highway, the Canadian Pacific railway, was built, and the enormous grain and cattle producing area of the west was opened for settlement. This year, more than in any previous year, is it realized how great is the western part of Canada. The title of immigration has only just got rightly started, and we predict that in ten years it will be hard to find a free homestead in Canada. It shows how conservative the people oi Europe tire and how long it took them before they believed that Canada was as good a country as she is. There are in the North West and Manitoba alone 970,000 square miles ot land suitable for ngricultu ral purposes, That will give some idea of what the future ol Canada will be when this is settled. Then there is our own province of British Columbia with its hundreds of thousands of acres of rich agricultural and mineral lands and its almost inexhaustible wealth of forests and the best fisheries in the world. The minerals of B. C. are Its greatest attraction, and its Wealth in this respect alone cannot be estimated. Quartz mniing is as yfcl distinctly in its infancy, but the industry is growing, and inside of a decade it is quite safe to assert that the principal wealth of the country Will be derived from its mining. EDITORIAL NOTES. There are great opportunities for good prospectors in the Ferguson camp. The present season is the best there has been since 1897 and yet but,few are in the field. Undoubtedly the big free gold ledges found at Fisli creek on the One side ���nd at Poplar creek on the other side, run through the mountains somewhere near Ferguson, for rich float has been found most all the way along the belt, and several ledges have been found in properties on which worlc has been done. Such, for instance, as the Beatrice and Ophir-Lade. Then, again, the silver-lead properties in this belt carry good gold values and a significant feature about them is that the gold increases with depth. There is certainly a good chance of a bonanza being found near Ferguson this season. Ferguson made no attempt at celebrating Dominion day. Not hav* ing good recreation grounds it is not easy to have sports, but it was expected there would be a horse race or two. However, even that failed to materialize. There were a great many men in town who were drawn here by the reports that have gone out of the demand for men at the mines and on the different works that will be constructed about Fer guson. There was, however, an utter lack of drunkenness or rowdyism. Rain threatened all day and came down heavily in the evening, but did no damage, for all who intended coming to the big dance at night had a chance to get here before the rain, CONSERVATIVE 1'LATPORM. [Adopted at Revelstoke, September 1Mb, 1002.1 1. That this convention reaffirms the policy oi the party in matters ol provincial mails and trails; the ownership and control of railways nnd the development of the agricultural resources of tlie provinco es lain down in the platform adopted in October, l.s'.fj, which is aa follows; "To actively aid in the construction of trailfl throughout tho undeveloped portions oi tbe province and thc building oi provincial trunk roads of public necessity. "To adopt the principles of government ownership of railwavs in so far as the circumstances ol the province will admit, and the adoption of the principle that no bonus sliould be gitinted to any railway company whieh docs not give the government of the province control 01 rates over lines bonused, together wilh the option ol purchase. "To actively assist by state aid In the (level opment of the agricultural resources of the province. 2. That in the meantime and until thc railway policy above set forth can be accomplished, 11 general railway act be passed, giving freedom to construct railways under certain approved regulations, annlogous to the system that has resulted in such extensive railway construction in the United States, with so much advantage to trade and commerce. :t. That to encourage the mining industry, the taxation oi metalliferous mines should be ou a basis ol a percentageon the net profits. 4. That the government ownerahtn ol tele- phono systems should be brought about as a Ilrst step in tbe acquisition of public utilities. .'1. That a portion of every coal area hereafter to be disposed of should be reserved from sale or lease, so that state owned mines may be easily accessible, if their operation becomes necessary or advisable. 11. That in the pulp land leases provision should be made for reforesting and that steps should lie taken for thegencral preservation of forests by guarding against the wasteful de. slructton of limber. 7. That the legislature and government of the province sliould persevere iu the efforts to secure the exclusion of Asiatic labor. s. That the matter of better terms ln the way of subsidy and appropriations for the provinco should bo vigorously pressed upon the Dominion government. ,, . 0. That the sllver-lcad inflostrles of the province be fostered and encomaged by the Em position ol increased, customs duties on lead and lead products imported into Canada, and that the conservative members of tlie nonunion House be urged to support any motion in- troduced for such a purposo. 10. That as Industrial disputes almost Invariably result in great loss and Injury both to the parlies directly concerned and to the public, legislation should be passed to provide means for an amicablo adjustment uf sueh disputes between employers anil employees. 11. That It Is advisable to foster the manufacture of tho raw products of tlie province within the province as for as practicable hy means of taxation on the said raw products, subject to rebateof the same In whole-or part when manufactured In llrltish Columbia.

The three claims owned by the company are the "Lardoau Queen," the "Lardeau King" and the "Lardeau Prince," all abutting ond to end, through which throe leads pass the entire length, situated at the head of Lexington creek, in the Lardeau mining division of West Kootenay, British Columbia. Theso three claims are located on the western slope of Goat Mountain, the lines being north-westerly and south-easterlyuand form ono complete portion of Mineral land of about 150 acres. They he east less than four miles up from Fish rivor. 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 extentlons has given most satisfactory results as to extent .of ore bodies and Increased values with depth. The formation is slate and fschist, lying in an immense lime dyke, and the cropplri-gs of the leads are generally topped with heavy iron capping and quartz, which gives assays from $8 up on tho 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.'i0 on the surface, but at a depth of less than three feet it has increased to $40.60. To tap this ore showing and the massive iron capped ledge close to whioh it lies the present tunnel was commenced and is now in a distance of 82 feet. Another .25 feet of crosscutting should reach this ledge at a depth of about 125 feet. When 01 feet had been driven, an almost-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 $77.60 in gold, silver, copper and lead. At a distance of 14 feet from this lead a line 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 which contains the richest ore und widest surface showing, will be reached about July 1st, This ledge when encountered, will be from 12 to 15 feet wide and great results are expected. The property has an excellent surface showing. The average assays are most encouraging, considering the great width and con- tinuancy of the leads across the country with such great width and prominenc&'of the surface judging from other properties in the near vicinity, some of wblch are on the same lead and have developed very rich ore bodies. In conclusion I would say that the Lardeau Mines are as good as any, If not the best, in the vicinity, and I verily believe witb a nominal expenditure, they should be made dividend paying in a short time, and I would strongly recommend extensive development toward that end.
