Ho said he\nhad told Mr. Taylor what Mr. Wells\nhad said at the executive meeting\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDIn\neffect that Mr. Taylor bad approached\nhim, Welle, and offered him a share or\ninterest in a land company if he would\ndelivor up certain grants. Witness\nhad asked Mr. Wells, \"Do you think\nI'm guilty of anything wrong in connection with this matter?\" Mr. Wells\nhad replied, \"Certainly not.\" Witness\nhad Bald that he did not believe Mr.\nTaylor would bo guilty of such a thin-.:\neither. Mr. Taylor had been very indignant when Mr. Wells' charge was\nrelated to him, and had asked if he\nmight not go before the executive and\ndefend bis character. Mr. Taylor at\nthat time had made no statement to\nwitness as to what had occurred in\nMontreal. Mr. Wells bad on a subsequent occasion denied that he had told\nthe story to Mr. Dunsmuir in tbe first\ninstance. He could not just recall the\ncircumstances Of this conversation. It\nwas on the 20th of March tbat Mr.\nWells had denied tbat he had made\nthe statement to Mr, Dunsmuir. Mr.\nWells had stated that it was Mr. Prentice.\nWitness recalled Mr. Brown complaining of the recession, at a meeting\nof the executive. He could not recall\nany reasons for the cancellation being\ngiven Mr. Brown. It was a stormy\nsession so far as Mr. Brown was concerned. He bad been very vigorous In\nhis protests. No reasons for the cancellation were given Mr. Brown. Mr.\nBrown read a telegram from Sir\nThomas Shaughnessy on, the subject of\nthe recision, to the effect that people in\npublic life could do what private individuals could not in respect to contracts. Brown had asked each of thc\nn. inisters in turn if they believed that\nSir Thomas Shaughnessy would be implicated in such a transaction as alleged\nin Mr. Wells' report of the Taylor incident. The ministers had said tbat\nthey did not regard Sir Thomas\nShaughnessy or the C. P. B. was so\nimplicated,. Tbey either said this or\nsaid nothing at all. Witness did not\nremember (hat any promise that legit -\nlatlon would be introduced in 1002 under which the company would get these\nblocks bad been made by Mr. Wells. If\nany such arrangement had been made.\nIt was not within witness' recollection.\nThe question of tbe recision of the\ngrants, to witness' knowledge, came up\non the 18th of March. The members\nof the -government were aware as early\nas the 3rd of March, that inquiries\nwere being made ln this matter. As to\nMr. Wells' statement that ln a conver-\ntion with witness, he Wells, bad said\nthat If the grants were delivered \"tbe\ngovernment would have to go,\" and\nMr. Eberts had replied, \"let us go,\nthen.\" Witness and Mr. Dunsmuir\nwere pressing for the delivery of tbe\ngrants; Mr. Wells did not deliver the\ngrants. The matter* ef the effect upon\ntbe government, politically, of the disclosure of these facts In connection\nwith the grants, w(i*j,discussed, among\ntbe members of the government. Witness would not say, tlie goyerflinent attempted to keep back the information\nId this matter. The return of Information to the bouse wei ordered the da;\nafter the recision order was passed.\nHe had never heard it given as a\nreason for the non-delivery of the\ngrants tbat the company would not\nagree to build the road to Spence's\nBridge. He bad never heard any\nreason given for the non-delivery of\nthe grants. Ho could not say that political pressure in tho house was the\nreason for the non-delivery. Witness\ncould not say tbat cancellation of the\ngrants had been resolved on before the\n18th March. He could not say that the\ngovernment had before that date, re-\nresolved that the grants could not be\ndelivered. He understood that Mr.\nWells was taking, this position. He\ncould not recall. that Mr. Wells was\nurging political expediency. The matter was always spoken of as a completed matter until the Taylor episode\ncame up. The construction of the\nMidway-Spence's Bridge road was\nnever mentioned in connection. Witness' viow of the reason for cancellation was because Mr, Dunsmuir believed this story, Mr. Dunsmuir had\nsaid so.\nttrnml Trunk Pacific.\nA special dispatch from Ottawa to\nVancouver says it is reported that the\nDominion government has decided to\ngrant a subsidy to the Grand Trunk\nPacific for 3,000 miles to the extent of\n$5,000 per mile. This means a cash\ngrant of $15,000,000. In addition, it is\nsaid, the government will guarantee\nbonds to tbe oxtent of $20,000 per mile\nfor 3,000 miles, which would enable\nthe company to raise $00,000,000 more\nby mortgage. In an Interview today\nSir Charles Rivers Wilson, president\nof the Grand Trunk, said:\n\"There have been some rumors in\ncirculation tbat the Grand Trunk company is not behind the Grand Trunk\nPacific enterprise. I strove to make it\nclear to the railway committee that\nthis opinion was altogether erroneous.\"\n\"Are you free to state what kind of\nfinancial aid you desire from the government?\"\n\"I would rather not discuss that.\nNaturally we expect to get a reasonable amount of assistance. No company can be expected to promptly\nbuild 3,000 miles of railroad, mainly\nthrough a new and largely unsettled\ncountry, without getting some aid.\nWhat form that aid would take is for\nthe government to determine.\"\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDRossland Miner.\nn\nA I't-otltahlo Investment.\n\"Thore are few investments that pay\nlarger dividends than a newspaper subscription wisely placed.

G. WOODWARD,\nFerguson, B. C.\nLardeau mines, ltd.\nThe throe claims owned by tho company are the \"Lardoau\nQueen,\" tho \"Lardeau King\" and tho \"Lardeau Prince,\" all abutting\nend to ond, through which three leads pass the entire length, situated at the hoad of Lexington creek, in the Lardeau mining division\nof West Kootenay, British Columbia.\n( These three claims are located on the western slope of Goat Mountain, the lines boing north-westerly and south-easterly, and form ono\ncomplete portion of Mineral land of about 150 acres. They he oast\nless than four miles up from Fish river.\nThe group lies in the \"Sitting Bull\" and \"Wild West\" belts,\ntwo of the strongest and best known leads in that district, and work\nalready done on apjacent extentions has given most satisfactory\nresults as to extent of ore bodies and increased values with depth.\nThe formation is slate and (schist, lying in an immense lime\ndyke, and the croppings of the loads aro generally topped with heavy\niron capping and quartz, which gives assays from $8 up on the\nsurface.\nVEINS AND WORK DONE\nExploitation consists of two open cuts along the surface for a\ndistance of twenty feet, which exposed a body of argentiferous\ngalena over 6 inches in width. Tho value Of this ore body was ._.\",.(10\non the surface, but at a depth of less than three feet it has increased\nto .40.60. To tap this oro showing and the massive Iron capped\nledge close to whioh it lies the present tunnel was commenced and\nis now in a distance of 82 feet. Another .25 feet of crosecutting\nshould reach this lodg_ at a depth of about 125 feet. When 61 feet\nhad been driven, an almost'solid body of iron ore three feet thick\nwas encountered in the tunnol lying against a wall of slate, A\nsample at this point assayed $77.00 in gold, silver, copper and lead.\nAt a distance of 14 feet from this lead a line body of ore has been\nencountered which, when crossed, proved to bo seven and a half feet\nwide, carrying the finest looking mineral yet found on the property.\nA third ledge which contains the richest ore and widest surface\nshowing, will be reached about July 1st. This ledgo when\nencountered, will be from 12 to 15 feet wide and great results are\nexpected,\nThe property has an excellent surfaco showing. The avorago\nassays are most encouraging, considering the great width and con-\ntinuanoy of tho loads across the country with such great width and\nprominence of the surfaco judging from other properties in the near\nvicinity, some of which are on tho same lead and have developed\nvery rich oro bodies.\nIn conclusion I would Ray that tho Lardeau Mines are as good as\nany, if not the best, in the vicinity, and I verily believe with a\nnominal expenditure, they should be mado dividend paying In a\nshort time, and I would strongly rocommond extensive development\ntoward that end.\nH.
