C, AUGUST 14, 1903.\n$2 a Yem\nIII\nThe Late G. H. Bayne\nDied Friday as a Result of Wounds Inflicted by a Bear.\nDeath brought relief from suffering\nto the lato George H. Bayne at the\nLat-deau Miners' Union hospital on\nFriday last at 4:50 p. m.\nAfter the terrible experience at the\nmercy of a huge female silver-tip bear\nabove Ferguson on July 27th, and the\nsubsequent long ride, the patient sufferer bore up remarkably well, but the\niron nerve and strong constitution of\nthe man, together with the best treatment that surgical skill could devise,\nwere unable to cope with the Internal\ninjuries. After Xfcl Newcombe had\ndressed the wounds the patient rallied,\nand seemed to be making progress toward recovery, but the improvement\nwas only temporary and on Sunday it\nwas noticed tbat tho patient became\ndrowsy.\nAs Mr. Kennedy was tho only person\nclosely connected with deceased, he\nwas summoned to the bedside.\n1 Mr. Bayne's people in Halifax in the\nmeantime were kept oloSoly'in touch\nwith the condition of |he; patient by\nwire, and his brother, Mr Andrew\nBayne, was at the time on his way to\nFerguson.\nThis drowsiness , CpiiJJnued, gradually deepening into stupor, and\nlater into a comatose condition which\nwas manifest on Thursday, August\n8th. Up to this time the patient had\nmade no complaint whatever, but now\nhe began to moan and show symptoms\nof acute pain, especially when disturbed.\nChas. H. Bayne of Halifax, a brother\nof deceased, upon being informed of\nhis brother's condition, telegraphed to\nhave outside assistance if necessary,\nand Drs. Campbell and Kenning, Mr.\nBayne's Rossland physicians, were\ncommunicated with at once and they\nleft Rossland Wednesday evening, arriving in Ferguson at 10 p. m,, Thursday.\nUpon their arrival they immediately\nproceeded to the hospital, whero In\nconsultation with Dr.Newcombe, further procedure in tho case was deferred until the dressing of the wounds\nthe following morning.\nAt 8 a. m., after dressing the wounds,\nlt was decided that pressure must be\nthe cause of tho trouble, although\nstupor and weakness wore the only Indications, and an exploratory operation\nwns Immediately proceeded with, with\nthe result that though tho rupturod\nvessel was found, tbe pressure could\nnot bo removed. The cause ot the\nrupture was concussion from the blow\nreceived, there being no evidence of\nfracture of the skull.\nDeath took place at 4:50 p. m. Friday.\nMr, Bayne's brother, Andrew, aftor\nreceiving word in Calgary of tho critical condition of his brother, made all\npossible haste to reach Ferguson, but\nowing to the delay In both train and\nboat, he did not arrive until 7 p. m.,\nonly to find that his brother had passed\naway two and a half hours before his\narrival,\nThe late Mr. Bayne waB aged 44 years\nand a native of Halifax, N. S., but of\nlato ysarB has been a resident of Rossland where he waB heavily Interested\nin mining, holding the poBltion of\nmanaging director of the Homestake\nmine, as well as owning several Ferguion properties, and it was in the examination ot some of these tbat tbe aooi-\ndent took placo that caused his death.\nMy. Bayne was well known in mining\nand social circles throughout the\nKootenays, and his death will be received with doep regret by all his many\nfriends.\nMr. Andrew Bayne had his brother's\nbody embalmed and he accompanied it\neast for interment.\nA New Oolil Strike,\nAnother big strike is reported on the\nPelly river, nea* its head. A steamer\nleft at midnight on Saturday, August\n1st, with 40 people to stake claims,\ncarrying supplies. This follows a discovery mado by Robert Henderson,\nthe discoverer of the first gold 'it,\nKlondike, who had been up the Pelly\nsome time since and took two men up\nabout a month ago. One man returned\nand told of results, honee tho stampede,\nA townsite is taken up already. The\nnew grounds are fairly accessible, and\nare reported vory ri6h. Coal is found\nIn the Bame locality. Thero Is a probability Of a tremendous stampede later,\nas the public takes this strike seriously.\nThe Wbltehorse Btrlko Ib genuino,\nfor miners returning all report fevor*\nably, although the grounds are not\nfound remarkably rich as yet.\nWashing gravel Is seriously retarded for want of water, but much rich\nground has been opened during the\nseason.\nConditions of trade are excellent,\nand general good times reign throughout the country.\nSarto Is rope.\nJoseph Sarto, who by the election of\nthe conclave of cardinals at Rome was\nmade Pope Pius X, was born at Rlese,\ndiocese of Trevlso, in the north of\nItaly, June 2, 1835, and was educated\nat.the seminary of his diocese and at\nthe Sacra Theologia, Rome. His career haB been that of a parish priest,\nspent almost wholly in the north of\nItaly.\nIt Ib singular that Venice alone of all\nimportant cities lh Italy has only\npatriarchal rank, while many smaller\ncities are seats of bishops and archbishops. Sarto was made patriarch of\nVenice in 1802 and created and proclaimed cardinal Juno 12,18.13, and bas\nfor his titular church in Rome St. Bar-\nnardo.\nHe was a great preacher, fairly well\nknown as a writer, and under him\nchurch interests in Venice have pros*\npored. He is a member of the Congregations of Bishops and Regulars,\nSacred Rites, Indulgence and Sacred\nHolies and Studies.\ntyoneity Essential.\nIn no profession is sterling honesty\nmore Imperatively demanded than in\ntho caso of thc mining'engineer. In\nthe large mining operations an aggregation of capital is necessary. The investment is made on the faith of the\nmining engineer's report. 'The small\nsavings of the factory hand and tho\nhard-earned dollar of the washer*\nwoman unite with the larger investment of the capitalist to make the operation possiblo. What do you think of\ntho general who betrays his army?\nThe lawyer who sells his client, or the\ndoctor who poisons his patient? Hither\nof them is entitled to as much respect\nas is the due of a mining engineer who\ndeliberately certifies as true that which\nhe does not know to be true. The\ntemptation to deviate from the course\nof rectitude will be great, hut happily\nthe reward oi fidelity will be greater\nto the man worthy of his profession.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\nMining World,\t\nCrow's Nest Collieries.\nThe output of the Crow's Nest Pass\nCoal company's mlneB for July totalled\n71,400 tons, ns follows: Coal oreek,\n24,793; Michael, 28,509; Morrissey, 18,-\n100. The coke shipments for the month\nwere: Fernie, 8,090 tons; Michael\n7,039. Total, 19,335 tons,\nQuiet in Political Circles But Mining Shows\nActivity, Especially in\nthe Lardeau.\nIt is rumored *.hat John L. Ratal-\nlack, the accepted Liberal candidato\nfor the Kaslo riding, is talking very\nseriously of dropping out of tho raco,\nand it has also been asserted that the\nLiberals in that event would not substitute.\nIt looks as if \"Joe\" Martin's withdrawal from the leadership of tho British Columbia Liberals was framod on\nthe same plan as the Russian withdrawal from Manchuria.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDRossland\nMiner.\nRossland Conservatives havo, in mass\nmeeting, passed a resolution declaring\nthat the immigration ol both Chinese\nand Japanese should be absolutely restricted.\nThe labor men of Nelson have decided to run a candidate for the legislature.\nIn Vancouver the Socialists have selected Earnest Burns to run on their\nticket. \t\nTHE ALPHA GROUP.\nDirectly behind the town of Forguson, and about two miles distant by a\ngood trail, is the Alpha group of\nclaims. On tho Broadview, one of the\ngroup, a great amount of work has\nbeon done showing a very big vein of\ncopper-silver, mostly copper pyrites\nand of good grade. There Is but one\nreason why this valuable proporty\nBhould bave remained idle so long, and\nthat Is for want of better transportation. Tho location of the property is\nfirst-class and it has overy convenience\nfor profitable mining as well as boing\nso situated that a tram down to Ferguson would not be expensive.\nThere is no doubt that ore will bo\nbrought down to Ferguson, and either\ntreated here by smelting or shipped\nout in bulk. It is claimed the Ferguson Vulcan smelter would work well in\nthis ore, that boing the kind of ore in\ntho treatment ot whtcji the Vulcan\nform has proven so successful in California.\nThe Alpha is to be sold, by tender on\nthe 15th inst. It is now owned by tho\nLillooet, Fraser river c': Cariboo Gold-\nfields, Limited.\nA -representative of tho Eagle looked ovor tho Alpha group on Sunday\nlast.\nA OREAT OOPPER PROPERTY.\nChnrlos A. MacKay of thia city, Is\nsuperintending tho oponin-j up of tho\nFallot' group, ln East Kootenay, the\nproperty ol tho Solklrk Coppor Minos,\nLimited. This property, consisting of\nsix claims, Is sltuatod on Whitefish\ncreek, a branch of the St. Mary's river, 18 miles from Mnrysvllle, A wagon\nroad from tho lattor town comes within\neight miles of tho proporty, the rest of\nthe way being traversed by a trail.\nThe lead, which ia eight feet across,\nruns along the centre of a 200-foot belt\nof mineralized quartz. This belt of\nlow grade ore carries a total value of\nseveral dollars to the ton throughout.\nThe lead averages tlfl to the ton, and\nhas been thoroughly tested. The development work done so far consists of\nono tunnel In 405 feet, nnd another in\n85 Ieet. There is also a 60-foot shaft\nand 10 open cuts from 4 to 16 feet deep.\nA peculiar feature of the ore is that\nnumerous pockets ol native copper oc\ncur In it, and whilst not of sufficient\nextent to appreciably increase the values, is important ub tho only deposit of\nnative copper yot encountered in tho\ndistrict. The loud haB beon found to\nbe of tho samo size and grade of oro\nthroughout tho property.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDNelson\nNews.\nHOSPITAL NOTES.\nThere were 7 patients and 55 days\nactual treatment at the hospital during tho month ot July.\nThe Townsito company have kindly\ndonated another lot to the hospital\nproperty.

C, Aug. 11,1903.\n[j To the Editor ol tlie Lardeau Eagle:\nI In your last issue under tho heading\njot \"Cause of Labor,\" your report ot\n| tho labor meeting was not correct in\nsoveral particulars. The meeting was\nfor tho purposo of electing delegates\nto convention and was most unanimous, and there was no question of\nwhether a candidate would run or no,\nas a previous meeting had decided that\nquestion without any dissention. As\nthis was a labor meeting, a discussion\ni ns to whether to run a Socialist would\nbe as sensible as a discussion as to\nwhether to run a Conservative or Lib-\noral. Your reporter also tells us that\nthe convention would decide about\nwhether or not to bring out a man. Do\nnominating conventions generally decide this question'' your report either\nBhows ignorance of procedure or tho\nold timo political party misrepresentation calculated to mislead, while apparently bearing a semblance of truth,\nand if we are to place reliance on your\nfuture reports please be more accurato\nand fair to friend and foe aliko.\nAlex C.
