Mr. Curtis spent moat o( Saturday looking ovor aome mining property near Ferguson, but before leaving town culled ac tho Eagle sauctum where tho Eagle editor subjected him to a questioning on matters pertaining to mining and also on tho politlOHl situation in the province.

As tn tlio report thut the elections truly bo brought on boloro an other S'lssiiin, Mr. Curtis said be thought It very probable thut the gov* ernnieot, would urine on a goneral elec* tion for they I'tinuiit hope with the gov* orniiioiit, aa now constituted to carry any important legislation because of their Biiii-.ll and wavering majority. Tbe government's actions Inst session were vory generally condemned, and there uupears to bt* little confidence left, fur tbo gnvernniunt, in tbe hearts of the people.

If mis is done he would certainly support .he Pro-* Jtresslviw. Mr. Curtis said, however, It was his decided wish to drop out of politics and lie did not Intend to run at next election if he ouuld possibly avoid It. Mr. Curtis also said that he worked, bard und conscientiously lust s isiun to get legislation passed that wuuld bone- lit tbe whole country, but though a lot of time wus consumed, littlo was accomplished.

OPHIR-LADE MEETING. The goneral meeting of the Ophir- Lade, Syndicato, Limited, wa* held In tbe evening and there ,was a largo attendance of shareholders presont. A considerable amount of business was transacted, Including tho presentation of tho annual report and balance sheet whieh showed tho company to be in a vory satisfactory condition with a respectable*, balanco In- tho bank. The work done j-jst. fall on tbo Lade group was doscribeft'ln detail and the opluion of the directors was expressed that the completion ol tbe work now In hand Would develop tbo Lado properly into a great gold mine, the ore already taken out and tho largo quantity ln sight being undoubtedly tbe richest tellurlde and free milling ore ever seen tn the province assaying as it dues, up into tho thousands of dollars per ton. The following gentlemen wore elected directors of the Ophir-Lade: W. B, Pool, F. W. Godsal, W. F. Cochrane, J. J. Young, S. Sutherland T. Kil* Patrick, B. Crilly, James Lade and Hubert Hodge.

The Eagle looks for great thlagKc from this company. . THE CHANGES. In conversation with W. B. Pool the Eaglo representative secured some Interesting information concerning the important changes which have taken place. He stated that the changes had been made in the Interests of tbe prop. arties and of kit parties. "I was tbe orieiuul discoverer of tbe I Nettie L." su'd Mr. Pool, "and as 1 , hare had charge of its development 'ever since, I naturally take a deep interest In the mine and wish the new owners every possible success In mak ing it tbe great producer which it is capable of becoming. After years, of bard work thinking and rustling, I have brought the Nettie L. to a point when it ran ship on a large scale. Ow Ing to tbe low price ot silver and the cost of smelting and transportation, I j was opposed in the past to shipping any more ore than would pay the expenses uf development, and this brought about one of the reasons leading to tbe change that haa taken place. The English shareholders bought a controlling interest In the mino a yoar ago and wanted me to ship all the oro In sight. In view of this difference of opinion and for several other reasons, I decideo to sell out my remaining interest anu drop out of the management. One strong reason for my doing so was lhat I wanted tu be ln a position along witb my partners, Messrs. Young, Godsal and..Cochrane to devote all of our energies to the big gold properties which we own. You can say on my authority that in the settlement between us and tbe English shareholders It was arranged tbat we should sell them our Interests in the silver properties and- buy them out ot tho gold properties. , "The deal Includes the Silver Cup In which we bave sold out our interests to the English shareholders, and lam glad to say that I believe tbey .have got bold* of two valuable properties, my opinion ul which has been backed up by Mr. Attwood. "I believe this distriot contains tho makings of several mora Nettle L.'s| toutiaucd rn I'st-** Three. Rev. T. K. Fisher of Mlnneat s ie preached a thoughtful and hi.ilj Interesting sermon in Eagle hall Sunday afternoon to a largo and attentive .on* gregatloo. Though tbo day was the hottest that Ferguson has experie ced this summer, those present seem 3 to enjoy what we thought a rare tr at. Mr. Fisher is a concise and pleusan? .speaker and is a muster of oratory. He .evidently has bad large experleneo is Tbe text'chosen for Ms discourse wae from Luke 2 and 49. "Wist yo not thai, I must bo about my fathers buslne-s." In his inlriKjuctory remarks tho speaker referred to the lost child found in the Temple of Jerusalem and culminating In bis memorable words, which was the keynote of his life. "Wist ye not that I must he about'my fathers business." Tbo speaker referred first to tbe great mission of Christ on earth which wan to rev**al God's love to man. "For God so loved the world tbat he gavo his only begotten son, that whosoever believelb in him should not perish, but nave everlasting life." John 3-16. Another mission of Christ was to bring man to a knowledge of his sinful condition and the neod of a personal Saviour. Christ's mission was essentially tbat of a preacher, vlz-of glad tidings: "I came, says Christ, not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance." This wus tho main the mo of Christ's message. Ho drew men to Him by personal magnetism. "And 1 if I be lilted un from tho earth wili* DKAW ALL MEN UNTO ME." He then referred at bouio length tr tho "Vicarious Sacrlfico" or the atonement which forms the important even'* in Christ's work, and concluded by showing that the mhision of Christ would bo Incomplete without having established His church on sartb and tho carrying out of tho Masters comniand, "Go ye out Into ull tho world and preach the gbapul lu overy ..mature." Tbe inspiration which cosies to all of His followers encaged ip.Ila.ii.rvic.' is lhe knowledge of His pro.euce.with them In allot their uiider.u.iug��..

JULY 25. 1902. IMPORTANT CHANGES. As wjll-beseen elsewhere, in Ihe columns ot thi. week's Eagle, great ���hanges have taken place in the four big mining companies of Ferguson. What significance these changes will have on the future ot this camp, *e feel that it is premature' as ��� yet to foretell, but looking nt the mat- Ctr generally, the Eagle hardly feels justified at the present time in commenting definitely. While on the me hand we Hfe sorry that die two i^est stiver properties of the camp lave lost the services of Manager . Awl; on the other hand we cannot but express gratification that the .re-arrangement probably means the inl induct ion of a larger amount ol additional capital into the Lardeau, for it is reported lhat the new capital invested hy the London syndicate is to be re-invested hy the'local men in bringing our gold proper! es further lo Ihe front. Mr. Pool wi s the original locator of the pioper- fes included in the Great 'Western Mines, Lid., nnd also ofmo.-t of tho-e in the Double,Eagle Co., at d they have been. under his manage* ment exclusively all through the various stages of development. The Nettie L. wus nut what wou d be called, in this camp, a particularly promising prospect during the early stages of its development aid it required thc abounding faith and persistence of Mr. Pool to prevent aa abandonment of the idea of its b.ingmade a mine. Even the Provincial' Mineralogist condemned it in its early prospect stages, but later, after depth had been attained he pronounced it a very valuable pro.iWty. Thus we believe lhat Mr. Pool deserves great credit for the enviable state that the mine is in to-dny ���-and for the good that hns and wlH -yet accrue to the town of Ferguson; The Nettie L. having turfed out so good, confidence was ,;iv n to other prospect owners to persist in the development ol their properties. story written by its editor, embracing scenes and life in the west,'par-, ticularly Seattle, coveting the period of the Klondike exciljSnient and-immediately following, "eSuitled, "The Triumph of Michael Sears." mine lo heller advantage in muny ���Mays and will greatly lessen the expense.
