Venezuela's Initial proposition to tbe allied powers remains unanswered by germany and the blockade continues. Tbis Is the situation in a nutshell today but lt by no means indicates the diplomatic activity in Washington at this time. The feeling Ib increasing here I "Brown wa8 ~lven gj"^ w'ot.th; The Mouutiiiii Lion, Word was received this week from the Mountain Lion south property, the American group, that work had been discontinued in the lower tunnel oo account of the danger from snow slides, The lead looked good when work was stopped but a slide was liable to come down and 1111 tbe mouth of the tunnel with snow and thus entomb the men. Hugh Brown has placed his full force at work on the middle or No. 2 tunnel where the main lead is expected to be reached inside of ten days. When the lead is 'tapped they hope to find a good showing of ore. When Hugh Brown, the foreman, was down to town last he was tbe recipient of a splendid Xmas present, and Mrs. Brown was also remembered. Tbe company presented Mr. Brown with $2,000 worth of shares ln the Mountain Lion Co., and Mrs Mr. that unless tbe blockading squadronr withdraw from Venezuelan waters within a comparatively short time, grave complications may arise. ' Sir Michael Herbert, the British ambassador, was minister Bowen's first caller today. The ambassador brought advices from London but beyond this statement neither was willing to discuss the meeting. The attitude of Mr. Bowen remaius unchanged as regards the raising of the ,_, blockade. He line repeatedly assured ...the representatives of the powers i'that he has full powers to act, whether {or peace or for war, although he reiterated that his visit to Washington was a peace mission, provided honorable terms can be obtained. Mr. Bow- en luncbed with the president today and ths Venezuelan matter was under discussion. and Mrs. Brown were taken by surprise and they were highly delighted, not alone for the fine gift but more for the evident appreciation of their services at the mine.

Gold- fields stating that important negotiations are pending for improving the position of the Company. The annual meeting has beeu postponed awaiting the result of negotiations, but will bo culled as early as possible, The following letter to the "Editor" Is self explanltory andis worthy ^f tho olosest attention, for It is ot a matter tbat closely affects every resident of the interior bfB. C... .V'.cad carefully and bo prepared to act in assisting the movement: Dear Sir,���The conditions surrounding the mining industry of British Columbia���the principal Industry of the province���have become so burdensome that mining operations have ceased to yield a profit to investors, and capital has ceased to flow Into the country. Efforts have been made by certain classes in the community, sometimes on behalf of practical miners, sometimes on behalf nf the mine- owners, and sometimes by delegations front municipalities to secure relief from the parliament of Canada and from the legislu'uro ol this provinco. All such efforts have heretofore failed partially owing to tbe imperfect knowledge of our difficulties possessed by out- legislators, and partially owing to tbe lack of united organization fairly representative of all persons interested lu tho mining industry. With a view to overcoming such obstacles and securing for the mining industry the support which it deserves, it is proposed to form a large and representative association of miners, mine-owners merchants, bankers, farmers and professional men, and all other persons who may bo directly or indirectly interested in the mining industry, By this means ond apparently by this means only, can we se-iuro relief for thu industry ond such favorable legislation as will restore confidence ln foreign capitalists. If we oan-make our mining Industry prosperous, overy other industry in the province will naturully and necessarily share in sucli prosperity. Tho present depression of nearly all such other industries is the natural and nccossary result of tho depression in mining, The proposed association is not an untried experiment. Somo years ago the minors and minoowners of California found themselves hampered as we are now witli a lot of_unjust legislative conditions. A lew Individuals met together to discuss the situation and dovise u remedy, ami they started thc California Minors' .Association lor the purpose Tho idea was grasped Immediately by the working miners, the mlneownors, the merchants, farmers and others, and tho result was that within a vory short time thu association succeeded in obtaining all the remedial legislation they required, and tho mining industry of the state increased in leaps and bounds and brought prosperity to all other Industries also. Fortunately we have In our midst a gentleman���Mr. J. B. Hobson, manager of tlio Consolidated Cariboo Hydraulic Mining Co.���wbo was ono of the originators of the California Miners'Association and ho will lend all tbe assistance he can to make a similar success of tho Provincial Mining Association of British Columbia. A preliminary mooting wns hold in Victoria on Jan. l*lth, wben a committeo was appointed to draw up a report to bo presented to a public meeting on the following day. On Jan. 15th, a large and representative public meeting was held at the Board of Trade building, Victoria, attended by numbers nf working minors, mine managers, morchants, members of the Legislature, professional men, and arid others who realized that tho welfare of tho mining industry means the welfare of the province. The chairman, Mr. Hobson, explained fully tho objects of tho now association. The greatest enthusiasm prevailed, and it was realized that at length a moans had been found that would ensure an uplifting of the mining industry from its [present depression to a position of prosperous expansion. ' The meeting recognized that owing to the spontaneous nature of tho now scheme no opportunity had been afforded to secure tho co-operation of the peoplo throughout tho province and it was decided to call a convention to be held in Victoria on Feb. 25th, when delegates from all districts would be able to attend and formulate a permanent organization. Copies of the minutes of the meet ings and of tho committee's report and thc minutes of the meeting on Jan. 10th [can be seen at this office] will explain what has been effected up to date. All that remains to bo done is to secure representative delegates from tho various cities and districts of the province for the purposo of attending tho convention at Victoria on Feb. 25th The successful organization of the Provincial Mining Association of British Columbia will ensure better conditions for the mining*industry, and thereby restore confidence In the magnificent mineral resources of the province. Tho first thing to be done in each city and district is to call a meeting as promptly as possible of all persons interested in mining, and especially of the practical working miners, mine- owners, merchants, farmers and others whose business prosperity is affected directly or iudiroctly by the prosperity of the mining industry, and let each man sign the membership roll, Each community is entitled to send one delegate to every 20 members, or one dole- gate in thc case of a community of less than 20 members. The chairman of each meeting will promptly send in the names of all members to tbo undersigned, Tho delegates' credentials will con* sist merely of a letter signed by the chairman and secretary of each local branch, certifying tho number of members enrolled in the city or district, and the names of the delegates appointed. Tbe constitution and by-laws of thc new association will bo settled at tbe convention on Feb. 25th. Y.ours truly, II. MORTIMER LAMB, Provisional Secretary. Victoria, B. C, Jan 21,1003. TIILARDEAU Show That an Active Condition Existed in Lardeau During the Past Year. The Eagle takes not a.little prido in furnishing its readers a statement of the amount of business transacted ut the district record office for the past year. It is gratifying to learn that sq. much healthy activity existed when tlie metal markets were at the lowest ebb ever known. It shows that the Lardeau mining men and prospectots recognized that the conditions existing wero but temporary, and that the producers would win out in the end. - Another factor in stimulating the men to continued activity was the certainty that as soon as proper transportation reaches here the ore of tbe district caries such high values that big mdne'y was to be made even at the stagnation prices that prevailed for silver and' lead last soason. Thon all the ores carry no mean percentage of gold, which would insure good profits even with the other metals selling below thoir roal value. It is confidently hoped that the conditions that will prevail uext season will be much more encouraging than last season, so the Knglo expects to see a much better showing at the beginning of 190-1. Tbe returns for 1002 are: Froo minor's certificates, 2711; mineral claims recorded, 1IKI: certificates of work. 557 and certificates of improve- memts, 9. Sliver CtlliTi-iuli.

Thompson, of Satna Barbara, Cal. has in all probability tho best equipped saddle hoi'6e in North America. Mr. Thompson collected about 250 Mexican dollars, which are of purer value than those coined in theUnitod States, and handed them oyer to some clevor metal workers, who decorated the saddlo profusely of silver and constructed a bridle wholly of the metal. Tho suu- dle is made of exquisitely stamped leather, and has every part bordered with rows of silver rosettes. The pommel is covered with solid silver and tho cttntle, stirrups and Haps are.massively bound with tho samo metal. Solid silver rings Bene to fasten blankets and other things the rider may require on a long trip. Tho surface of the leather is decorated with flowers and wheat ears in larainoted sliver. Tho reins, throat latch, martingale, whip and collar are made wholly of silver wire woven into sections, and joined by links and rii.gs of silver. Tlio bridle is covered with silver and tho bit was fashioned by Senor Madruino, the most skilful bit- maker in tlio United Statos. Tho horse that wears this splendid outfit is well bred and perfectly trained. Ho is a great favorite of his inas- t3r and has taken part in many parades and streot paegeants in different American cities'. It is a noticeable faot that scores of tho loading and conservative bankers aro interesting themselves largely in mining.

Since the beginning of the year there is shown a decidedly better tone in tbe copper market and confidence is felt by those who have studied the matter carefully lhat the price ol copper will rise early this coming season. The stock ofthe metal on band at the beginning of the year was much below what it was a year ago and the snpply Is shorter_than it has been for nearly two years. At the same time there is a constantly increasing demand for copper. Such companies as the Amalgamated Copper company which owns large low grade copper mines at Butle and elsewhere do their best to discourage the production. There are In British Columbia large bodies of high grade copper ore which, il they were opened up, could produce copper much cheap er than it can be produced in* many of the large mines in the United States, but it takes a lot of money to open up a large copper mine and provide for the treatment of its ores. The Amalgamated company is well aware of this and when they see too much activity in the direction ot opening up new districts they, in conjunction with other big companies, use their strong influence to have it shown that the pro* duction is already too great. As a matter of fact there will always b_> good money in mining copper for it is a metal that cannot be replaced and the field ot its use- fullness is expanding year by year. The Eagle is convinced that British Columbia will one day be the leading copper producing country of the western hemisphere. The deposits in the boundary are immense but for richness and magnitude that section is not comparable to the St. Mary's district of East Kootenay; which district has npt as yet shipped a pound of copper, but is being developed and is awaiting the advent of transportation facili ties. mission of messages by land as by water. Much doubt has existed regarding the efficacy of the wireless system to carry messages across the Atlantic in time of storm, and it seemed but reasonable to the average thinker that the attempt would prove unsuccessful but all doubt was dispelled on the 20th inst. when a terrific storm of rain, snow, wind and lightning raged over the ocean and it proved no impediment to the messages that were received from over the Atlantic. In discussing the silver and lead market! the Prospector of Fort Steele says: During Ihe year which has just closed the St. Eugene mine, one of the largest silver-lead mines on the American continent and thc Sullivan with over 400,000 tons of lead ore in sight, also 11,000 on the dump, have'been ck-scd down. These two properties under normal condition, employed 400 to 500 men which meant a large pa)' roll from which every town in Southeast Kootenay'deriv'ed benefit. The Pacific Coast Miner has be cornea weekly journal and has also changed proprietorship. So far the change has in every way proven a good one. The Miner is a valuable journal to the miner and prospector and is well worth filing for reference. Trust vs. Trust.

', The three .claims owned by the company-are the "Lardeau Queen," the"Lardeau King" and the "LardeauPrince," all abutting end to end, through whioh three leads pass the entire length, situated at the bend of Lexington ctJe'ek,'(n the.Lardeau. mining division; of West Kootenav, British CMumbtai; ��� "i, These three claims art. looked on the western slope of Goat Mountain, the lines being norUwvGoterly and south-easterly, and form one. complete portion of Mineral land of about IS6 aeres, They lie east, less than (our miles IP teom Pish river. . ���,,.* , The group lies fn the "Sitting Bull" and "Wild West" belts, two of,t'he strongest and best known leads In that 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 schist, lying in an Immense lime dyke, and the Groupings of the leads are generally topped with heavy Iron capping and quartz, which gives assays from- $8 up on the surface, r* *�������� '-'" VEINS AND WORK DONE Exploitation consists of two open cuts along tbe surface for a distance of twenty feet, which exposed a body of argentiferous galena over 8 Inches in width- Tho valuo of this, ore body* was $25.(10 on tbe surface, but at a depth of less than three feet It has* inoreased to $40.60. To tap this ore.showing antftho massive Iron capped ledge close to which lt lies the present tunnel was commenced and is now in a distance of 82 foet.. i Another 85 feet of cnMscutting should reach this ledg. at adepthof about 125 feet.. When 61 feet had been driven, an almost-solid body of iron ore three feet thick was encountered in the tunnol lying against a wall of slate, A sample at this point assayed $77.60 in gold, silver, copper ond lead. At a distance of 14 feet from this lead a tine' 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 iproperty. A third ledge which contains the richest oro ulid widest surface showing, will be reached about February 15th. Tide ledge when encountered, will be from 12 to 16 feet wide and great results are expected, :i* Tbe property has an excellent surface showing. The average assays are most encouraging, considering the great width and con- tinuanoy of the leads across tbe country with suahi great width and prominence of the surface judging from other properties i ln the near vicinity, some of which are on tbe same lead and have developed very rich ore bodies, . ���'.-��� In conclusion I would nay that the Lardeau Mines are as good as any, If not the best, tn the vicinity, and I verily believe with a nominal expenditure, they should be made dividend paying in a short time, and I would strongly roconjqend extensive development toward that end, ' ;' ������ It.
