Ferguson, B. C, "AUGUST 7. 1903. $2 a Year Active Development of Properties All Over the Camp���More Gold Found, GRAND TRUNK PACIFIC RAILWAY' Located on Silver Cup mountain, southwest of the Luoky Jim, is the Florena and Lucia,''owned by Ole Peterson of Ferguson. There is a Sne lead on the property of an average width of about four feet carrying from $30 up to $150 per ton in gold. The owner says he has tn this property the mother lode of the mountain and the same that runs through the Lucky Jim. He believes there are just as good average values on the Cup mountain as at Poplar oreek, and that one would do as well to stay at home and do tbeir prospecting, excepting the phenomenal -property belonging to Morgan & Ham* ilton, on which gold occurs in bunches. Mr. Peterson has 30 feet of work done on his property and the values are higher in the face than at any point previously tested. The property is for sale at a reasonable figure and on good terms. THE I. X. L. GROUP. Dr. Mllloy returned Sunday from his properties on Silver Cup mountain, where he haa been doing some work on the I. X. L. The property haa now some 480 feet ot work done on a cross fissure vein whioh has demonstrated that these are the gold bearing leads In the above belt and also that they are continuous In depth. About six tons of ore sent from this lead gave returns at smelter of 152 in gold. Tbis property is certainly a bonanza, and if the Dr, continues developing as he has stae.3 he acquired (he property about a fair ago, we hope to see tt one of our steady shippers by next spring. Quite a bunch of ore that would assay over 1100 might be shipped now, but the owner very wisely defers shipments until the mine Is properly developed. GOLD NEAR FERGUSON. Arthur Gunn and Ed Ward have been working on the Fern and Wellington mining property near the head of Brown creek for the past fortnight. They are running a tunnel on the lead and they thought they had a pretty good galena proposition, as the lead Is six ftet wide and has good galena indications. They brought a sample of the quart!! to town Saturday for tbe purpose of showing another partner what It was like. On examining it closely witb a glass particles ol gold were found. As they were not looking for gold they were surprised, and consequently are much pleased that they own a great deal better property than they supposed. The quartz Is similar to that on Poplar and Fish creeks, but these men were looking tor galena. THE "ALtcE" DEAL. On Tuesday, tbe 28th Inst., a deal was consummated by whleh J. O. Piper sold out bis undivided one-half lnter< est In the Alice mining property to a Minneapolis syndicate for a nice, tidy sum, a good portion of whioh waB paid In cash. The Alice joins the well known Cromwell group, and is on the same vein, being also the pioneer location op that marvellously rich vein. The ore Is silver-lead, which also parries high gold values. Daney's pack animals are all busy paokln_r ore town from tbt Trlimt Premier Laurier Outlined HI. Scheme for Building Canada's Second Transcontinental Line. Sir Wilfrid Laurier rose at 3:15 on Thursday of last week to explain his scheme for building and operating the Grand Trunk Pactfio, Canada's second transcontinental railway. He said tbat all were agreed as to the construetton of another transcontinental road, but some favored delay and others took exception to the mode of construction. "But," said the premier, "this Is no time to wait. If tbe development of tbe country Is to proceed, now Is tbe time to go ahead. If tbe present opportunity Is lost, It might not occur again. All agree as to.the construction of the road from Quebec to the Pacific. Some people, among them Mr. Blair, is opposed fto competition with the Intercolonial. This road wilt not parallel the Intercolonial, which was never built for transcontinental traffic It was built for military and political purposes, and not for transoont 1 nental t raffic. ���' Sir Wilfrid then went on to explain that the road will extend from Monc- ton to the Pacific ocean, and will be 3,000 miles long. From Moncton to Winnipeg the distance Is estimated at 1,800 miles, and trom Winnipeg to Port Simpson on the Pacific ocean, 1,500. The cost of construction and equipment are estimated at about 1100,000,000. The eastern seetion, from Moncton to Winnipeg, will be built by the government, and leased to the Grand Trunk Pacific for a period of 50 years. For the first seven years the company gets the lease free of rent, but will bave to meet the operating expenses. During the next three yean the company will require to give the government tbe net earnings, but if these should not equal 3 percent upon the cost of the section, the deficit is to be added to the capital account. For the next 40 years the Grand Trunk Pacific will have to pay 3 per cent per annum to the government upon tho capital of this section. This portion of the lino will be built accord* ing to specifications, and the standard to be approved by the Grand Trunk Pacific and government engineers, jointly. A commission to be appointed by the government will supervise the work. From Winnipeg to the Pacific the road will be constructed by the Grand Trunk Paolfic company, within seven years. The government will guarantee 75 per cent of tbe cost of construction to a maximum of (13,000 per mile for the mountain division between Edmonton and the Pacific coast. The principal and interest bonds are to be guaranteed for 50 years. On the completion of the prairie division the company will commence paying interest on the guarantee bonds. In regard to the mountain division, the company will not be called on to pay anything for the first seven years, but tor tbe succeeding three years lt will have to pay tbe net receipts over working expenses, and any deficit will be added to tbe cost, while for tbe remaining 40 years the company will pay 3 per cent per annum.

At Cranbrook the ministers were given a banquet which was largely attended. Mr. John Houston, chairman of the executive of the provincial Liberal- Conservative Union, has fixed Thursday, August 13th, tbe day on whioh delegates are to be appointed to attend a convention at Kaslo on the 15th inst., to select a candidate to run in the conservative Interest at the forthcoming election. Saturday, 15th of August, is set as tbe day for nominating conventions to select conservative candidates throughout the province, except Casslar and Victoria and Van: couver. The convention tor the Kaslo riding will beheld at Kaslo. The following list gives the selections that have already been made of candidates throughout the province: Chilliwack, 1-C. W. Morrow, Lib- eral. Grand Forks, 1���J. Rlordan, Social ist. Kamloops, 1���F. J. Deane, Liberal; F. J. Fulton, Conservative. Greenwood, 1���J. B. Brown, Liberal. Islands, 1���T. W. Paterson, Liberal.

According to reports from different ridings tbe registration of voters is going on apace aud tbe lists show a marked increase already over the old lists, and tbe increase is noticeable in most all parts of the provlnoe. The Slocan Drill says that by nominating John L, Rotallack to contest the Kaslo riding against Hon. It. F. Green, minister of mines, the Liberals bave practically made a free gift of the election to the Conservatives. The Came of Labor. At the close of the Miners' Union meeting on Saturday night last, a meeting was held by those Interested In bringing out a candidate to represent the labor cause in the forthcoming eampaign for this, the Kaslo riding. There were about 30 present and matters were discussed pretty thoroughly and to considerable length. Some were in favor of putting a candidate in tbe field and others were opposed to It, but a majority decided that it should be done, Again some wanted the candidate to run ai a Sootali&t, but tbe majority were for a Untight labor tloket. and so it Was decfcfed, as far as Ferguson Is concerned. Five delegates were appointed to attend a convention to be heid at Trout Lake on the 15th inst. Tbe convention will decide if a candidate is to be nominated and who shall be the candidate. The delegation have instructions to support S. Shannon of Ferguson, for the nomination. S. Shannon acted as chairman and A. C. Cummins was secretary of tbe meeting. Sliver-Lend Men organize. A meeting of mine owners and managers, and others interested in silver- lead mining, was held in the city hall, Sandon, last Friday evening. Twenty- nine mining companios were represented, and three individual owners were present. The meeting was for the purpose of affecting permanent organisation, and was most harmonious throughout. John Keen was elected chairman and N. J. Cavanaugh secretary, of the meeting. The temporary organization was dissolved, and the report of the committee on permanent organization read and the constitution and by-laws adopted. The new organization has a president, five vice-presidents, a secretary, treasurer, an executive committee of five, and a selling committee of five. The selling committee Ib composed ot the following: Geo. Alexander, Byron N. White, Donald G. Forbes, A. C. Garde and W. E. Zwlckey. This committee haa exclusive control ot the ore output of the mines ot the association, to dispose ot tbe same to the best advantage of its members, the smelter returns to be made direct to the producers ot the ore. The first annual meeting ot the association will be held in Sandon on the first Tuesday in August.���Ledge. Load! of Machinery. Two string teams are busy every day hauling machinery from the C. P.

The biggest deal that has ever been put through in the Lardeau was concluded Wednesday at Poplar creek by which W. B. Pool acquired the "Lucky Jack" group ot the locators, Messrs. Morgan, Hamilton & O'Connor, for a sum in the neighborhood of $200,000, a good portion of which was paid in cash. The group consists of the Lucky Jack, Lucky Three, Littlo Phil and Lucky Jack Fractional mineral claims. This is the largest sum that has ever been paid in Canada for wholly undeveloped mining proporty, but never before was such a showing found in Canada. The Lardo railway runs within u tew yards ot tbe best part of the lead, and one could stand on the ledge, break off a piece ot tbe lead matter and pitch It through a window of a passing coach. This Ib tbe property where guards have been employed siuce Its location to prevent the ore being carried away. Active development has already com menoed and will be prosecuted vigorously. Surveys are being made and crown grants will be applied for before Xmas. A stamp mill and other modern machinery will be Installed as soon as the same can be landed on the ground. On concluding the deal Mr. Pool went east to Alberta, and the venders came up to Ferguson Yesterday where tjjoy were met by an Eagle reporter and the facts were learned. Tbis deal will have an important bearing on the Immediate future of the whole Lardeau district. ACKK1IT-W1IIT.MOKK. Two Well Known Keren.on Young People Harried. Herbert A.

No one will dispute that Edward VII has proven one of the wisest and most diplomatic kings that has ever sat upon a throne, As Prince of Wales for ao long a a term of years and being so closely identified with affairs of state, and representing the sovereign at most functions where it was possible for the last two decades, he obtained a good schooling under the wisest ruler of the age. Not only that, but he was ambitious and a.close student of politics, and he possesses a wonderful ability to read men. Thus he has developed into a great statesman. The enthusiastic reception accorded the King and Queen by the Irish people shows how popular they are personally, and this has been brought about by tact and a disposition to do right by all his subjects. The wisdom ot our King is already bearing fruit, not only in the British empire, but among the nations ot the world. Many people suppose that the Knglish sovereign is a mere figure* head who wears costly apparel and signs documents when they are placed before him. This is not so, and especially not with the present King. He asserted his influence in a remarkable degree during the last session of Parliament to secure the passage of the Irish land purchase bill. He watches legislation carefully and uses his influence on the side which he thinks is right, but Parliament is responsible to the people and olten the King'*; wishes are not followed. MAIL VIA. NELSON. Deals are pending a~o_L business is being attempted, yet it is most un< satisfactory to be unable to send a letter, and expensive in that it involves the necessity of a visit in many cases where a letter would answer. Why the department ii so elow in this matter we are unable to find out, but it is hpped that a move will be made soon. EQXK)B&gXi NOTES. The Canadian Pacific Railway company holds a charter to build a road, or j continue their Lardo branch around Trout Lake. They have held this charter for some years and we think it about time some move should be made to build this section. The district is sadly held in check by the present means of transportation being inadequate and so uncertain and expensive. We do believe the railway company is losing more than any individual or other corporation, but their attention is largely engrossed elsewhere in striving to head off the Great Northern and other roads, and they will complete obligations when it suits their convenience. The government should step in and compel the company to live up to the terms ol the charter and endeavor to have the road completed to Trout Lake before Xmas. Otherwise we may And ourselves as we were for so long last winter, completely shut off from the outside world and our interests caused to suffer. The j. agle is in receipt of the second number of the f3lairmore Times, published by H. j. Matheson at Blairmore, Alta. The Times is a newsy little paper and has good advertisjpg patronage. Mr. Matheson was the publisher of the Frank Sentinel until the town of Frank was ruined by the great rock slide. He has moved the old plant a few I miles east to Blairmore. The one regret is that each move lands him farther from B. C. The Eagle wishes him abundant success. The Hon. James-Dunsmuir, proprietor of the Cumberland collieries, has been fined $25 for employing Chinamen to work underground and thus violating the laws of the province. What a shame!
