Livingstone has been demon- strating lo the people of the Lardeau, generally, what a man with perseverance, nerved with it dcep- seatcd conviction as lo the latent resources lying hidden in his claims, can, almost single-handed accomplish towards the development ol those resources, and the making of his properties attractive.,to the intending investor, A short time ago he uncovered a fine showing of high-grade ore on the Ruffled Grouse claim on Trout Creek, thus mailing- that already very desirable property much more valuable. Now on lho Rambler claim near 8-Mile, on the South Fork of the Lardeau, be has, by patient pounding, made the solid rock expose its secrets. Dining I lie past week an Eagle representative visited the properly, and was shown over Uie ground by its lucky owner. The properly is situated on the same " dyke " as the Nettie L., and lho. work done is in the dyke near lis hanging wall. There is ore scattered all through the dyke al this point, but Jim is confining his attention mostly to some good sized stringers of clean ore, which seem to come from the hanging wall of the dyke. These stringers, of which there are some six or eight exposed, vary in thickness Irom two to six inches, and from the tunnel which he is driving, he has sacked up between three and four hundred pounds of clean ore, besides having a ton or more of good concentrating ore on the dumps. The clean ore assays 82 oz. of silver, and $1.20 in gold, while the carbonate oreencountered assays ;8 ozs. in silver, and t|lio in gold. Jim intends to continue tha present tunnel to lhe hanging wall of the dyke, when he hopes, not without good reason, to uncover a larger body of clean ore. It is very gratifying to those who are looking with interest upon the camp to see another, or.e of the pioneers thus coining into his reward. "THE OLO...OU3 FOURTH." The cute boys from across the line whose interests lead them annually to Ferguson (and it goes without saying that they know a good thing), held, high jinks on Monday last. The Star-Spangled Banner and the Union Jack blended well together, and in the evening the hills reverberated with the roar of the pom-pom and the splniz-sphui of the squib. The festivities were kept up until a late hour, but good humor and brotherly love was everywhere in evidence. Hon. R. F. Green Visits Ferguson. Ho ia Pleased with our Progress, And will U30 His Influonoo on our Bobalf. Tho Hon. It. I*'. Green, Commissioner of Lands and Works, antl our representative in the Provincial Govern-, ment, paitl a visit to Ferguion on Tuesday lust. Tho hon. gentleman reports tho country in a nourishing condition, and the Lardeau especially Is claiming notice. He has b-ion .woll received all along the line, and thero have boon no kicks coming from his constituents, Altogether everything looked very rosy for tho future campaign. On Tuesday night a deputation of the Ferguson Trades' Council wero received by tlio lion, gentleman. The object of thn deputation was to obtain his syiiipatli ��� und support to their efforts to se'euro Justices of the Peace and it Court House lor Perguson, The delegation pointed out tho growth and Importance of the town as the mining centre ol tho .Lardeau, and the hon. gentleman wns surprised thut. such un application wits not made before, ami promised his hearty co-operation in tlio project. As far as tho Court House was concerned, that would be out of his department, but hu would use. hli Inlluoncft io thut, direction and recom mend tliu gentlemen whose names won submitted as justices. Tlio deputation thanked the hon. gentleman, und with drew. The deputation wore Messrs. Huther land, Cordon and Shannon. On Wednesday, Mr. Green, accompanied by E. G. Chiptiiiin, Mr. McPherson, and several local ���.-entleincn paid a visit to .1-Mile, where Mr. S.vin* noy piloted tho party through 'he Mill. The 1 arty reached town greatly edllied with nil they had seen and heard. In course of conversation witli the Bagle Man, the hon. gentleman remarked 011 the great Impression tho results of the mill shotild make on cap* Italists, and as soon us it beoamo more widely known, wo should bo u grout and proporous mining city. Ferguson Protects Her Interests. A Representative Gathering of Tho Town Meot3 and a Trades Council is Eleciod. The Lucky jack Case. Morgan and Pool got tlio Verdict, But Notico ia Givon of an Appeal. The Liberal press with one accord declare lhe Dundonald incident closed. They will have an opportunity at the next general election of discerning who have the more retentive memories. It is quite in tlie order of things that the electors should be asked, practically, to acquiesce in their shut-down sys- stem of campaign. Hut, mark ye, Scotsmen have elephantine memo rics, and thc brave soldier who re heved Ladysmith will be avenged "Foreigners" ot tlie Dundonald type who are striking at the " cinch bugs " and " boodiers " down eas can rely on tlie backing nf their lellow countrymen. The man who could do something for our mllitlii is a general of whom the nation is proud, and he has been openly in stilled by lhe ligurc-liead ot the narly in ollice, and interfered with by one of his jacks-iji-ollice who knows more about frozen wheat and caterpillars than soldiery.

It is our duty, and withal, a pi.insure!, to present to <>:'!��� readers our honor roll���on which nre inscribed the names of tho twenty-seven brave fellows who on the morning after the fateful nlyht of April hut when tlio terrific .snow slide had started on (tn destructive journey, carryinir all hofpre tt���answered tin., call foe volunteers to search for a fallen comrade. Tlio slide vas about, 2,100 feet Wide, and on this occasion deviated 1.400 foot out of the ordinary course, carrying with it trams, derricks, terminal, compressor-home, and everything in its path to destruction. Bilt in tho ili-rht for dear life, all wore not sufloeasful in gaining a refuge. When ;i place of safety was reached, and the roll call read. thoro was. ono mlssiri:j---Joscph F. -St. A maud failc-d to answer his name. It was conjectured that nothing could Hvo u^alnst tho avalanche, and right at the Heat, of the slide hung a thousand tons of snow wiili no support, and ready to fall and crush every object withlu 5.000 feet. In tho face of such odd*", and with their lives In tlieir hand.'', the punitive though brave expedition started to find their fallen comrade. After several hours, whieh to those awaiting results appeared like years, tho brave lads returned, but there was a stillness among thorn -thoy bore with thom all that was mortal of tho object of their search- -Joseph F.St. Artiuud had patsed to the great Unseen. We pay a tribute of respect to! his memory, and doff our hats to tlio bravo fellows whoso names appear below: The adverso action of Tool vs. Moi gan et ;i! was terminated a!. Nelson last week, and as announced in tho columns of our last issue, tlie verdict was in favor of the defendants, the jury holding that the Lucky Jack was a valid aud Btibsistentclalm. Notice of appeal was given. If the money for tbo appeal is forthcoming within ten days the case will likely drag ou for months, and the litigation wili costan-enormous amount of money. We are informed, though unofficially, that the plaintiffs will see the matter through. It is to be hoped that the matter will be settled one way or the other as soon as possible, as the mining camp of Poplar has suffered through the tylng-up of thc Tamous Lucky .lack. Mining men sliould take the lesson of this litigation to heart and without delay meet and formulate a scheme wherein their Interests would bo safely guarded by experts. There is no reason why the government should uot sanction the formation of a mining tribunal, with a recOKDl'/ed government agent presiding at all hearings. A great saving of valuab time aud money would thus be etl'eetcd. Sixteen at a Time. This week the Nettie L. and Sllvei Cup Mines Ltd. are shipping from the mill at o-'Mile, sixteen ingots of bullion.
