The Nakusp Ledge was published in Nakusp, in the Central Kootenay region of southeastern British Columbia, from October 1893 to December 1894. The paper was subsequently published as the Ledge both in New Denver, from December 1894 to December 1904, and in Fernie, from January to August 1905. The Ledge was published by Robert Thornton Lowery, a prolific newspaper publisher, editor, and printer who was also widely acclaimed for his skill as a writer. After moving to Fernie, the paper continued to be published under variant titles, including the Fernie Ledger and the District Ledger, from August 1905 to August 1919.

Report of Geological Survey Calls Attention to Fact That All Except Gold and Silver Are Nearing Ex- ' haustion, Coal Heading List As Most Wasted Product. So many and so conflicting liave boen the' rumors and reports relative to the conditions In this eastern coal camp that the casual reader might be lead to imagine that rioting and rowdyism were everyday occurences and that the town must necessarily present more the appearance of a' military camp, knowing by practical experience that when all other means have proven useless* the corporations do not hesitate to spread malicious reports through the press with the expectation of damning their opponent's side with a view to creating prejudice against them in the eyes of the public much after the style of tlie lawyer when he has no case to start badgering . the witness. We wired to the secretary of Local 469 TJ. M.W. A. at Springhiil, N., S. and below we append his reply. Springhiil, N. S.,'July 2S, 1910. District Ledger, Fernie, B. C: ■■ ... The strike situation, remains unchanged. . The ■ position of the miners is stronger and prospects for a fair deal * with the company ■ is ^brighter tonight than at any. time before. The- wild reports in the press of the controlling . and financial interests are gross exaggerations well" known to those who make them. No conditions have arisen In Springhiil requiring the presence of soldiers,* Official records which are. following by mail' show clearly that' the trouble occurred "in Springhiil was' made by the imported ■: elements. All that has been and said ''is expressly" to'try to break up the ranks, and failure to do so has met * them' on every hand.""" The";military in the aid of,the soldiery, the cost of which will' be saddled upon the community. While militia companies may furnish the material for physical development to young men at a minimum, of cost to them and when, recruits are wanted the social and physical advantages of joining are always put prominently forward while the real obpect of their existence is, conveniently*evaded. A captain of a British Columbia militia having great difficulty in securing enough recruits for his company because ' of the strenous objections of the local unions mentioned the circumstances to the inspecting officer when*he made his official visit, stating that the men objected to join fearing that they might be called, out: to .ghoot their fellow townsmen, the reply of this gentleman was certainly halve if not reassuring, that the-men need have no^ fear that they would be expected to be called out for local work in the event of trouble, but companies from other towns would be called upon to do this work because "thoy had no relatives or friends engaged in the strike. How nice! In other words'if there were demands for the militia say—in Fernie, call1 would be made upon Nelson or some other town and vice versa.1 Those .wlio still entertain any doubts as to the real object of the existence of' militia have only to take Springhiil, N.'S., and Brockville, Ont., as showing the naked, truth. What thinking man or woman in the face of these concrete facts can still maintain that there' Is . no CLASS STRUGGLE? :,.-■-.. ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦* ♦ ,.♦ GRAND TRUNK RAILWAY <► SYSTEM. ♦ In the following striking approximate dates for the disappearance of some of, the most Indispensable of ■natural mineral resources of the country i the geological survey calls the attention of the public to a.figurative tomorrow: Coal, exhausted in 2040, Petroleum, exhausted in 1959. Iron ores, exhausted lh 1939. Lead ores, exhausted in, Indeterminate. Gold, exhausted in, indeterminate. .Copper, exhausted in, indeterminate. Zinc, exhasted'in, Indeterminate.*' Phosphates, exhausted in 1934. The figures havo been taken from files oi the survey's publications and a canvass of the situation has been prepared in a special bulletin. The chief implied charge ln the work is that wanton waste has been going on in the production of many of these nature's supplies, .and that one of the first moves in retrenchment should be more economical methods in mining and distribution. Coal heads th'e list as the most wasted of all products, losing ,50 per cent of the original deposit in the mining and marketing. The greatest of these'losses comes from leaving thin strips of coal in the veins 'and in thicker strata as pillars supporting the mine roof. But, thousands more.tons find their way to the slate and shale dumps, while from the first movement-in shipping a loss is suf-, fered through shattering and weathering and haulage, until the, fuel; Is at the-furnace floor. And even then bad firing under boilers occasions another extravagance,' complained of scarcely less by a general public which protests against the unconsumed gases, soot and smoke. „ : As the national survey,sees it, however, the' situation as to petroleum is much more serious. This mineral oil has been'in use only about 50 years, while if consumption and waste still goes on. it will hay_e__d_ls_appeared with- ■*> <*> WANTED FIVE HUNDRED TRAIN,MEN AND YARD MEN. ,, CONDUCTORS From $100 to $140 Per Month' BAGGAGEMEN '* From $60 to $85rPer Month BRAKEMEN From $55'to* $80 Per Month YARD FOREMEN From 31c to 32c Per Hour YARD HELPERS From 27c to 32c Per Hour ♦ ♦ Apply_o U.

If production be curtailed and the waste is stopped it may last to the end of the' present century. Electricity has displaced much of. the oil originally consumed for illumination, but tlie lubricants which are byproducts of the' crude petroleum are not .o be. replaced with either animal or vegetable oils. Natural'gas is wasting into the air at the rato of a billion cubic feet every 24 hours, and this, with the rate, of consumption promises to cx- hnusl. tho supply within 2fi years.

These have practically been crystallized by the,framing of a proposed bill "to the Coal Mines Regulation Act" and the provincial government commissioned two of its servants who are enthusiasts on all that porlalns to their dopartmont, to go through the different camps and meet, with the representatives of the coal companies and tho mlno workers for the purpose of discussing with thom tho pros and cons of this bill. * During lho prosont week* Chlof Inspector of Mlnos Mr. J*\ II.

We do not know upon what authority this item was based or whether it* was a mere tentative expression, however, we do know that the unfortunate victim of one of the most arbitrary acts ever, committed in Canada is at present incarcerated in the., prison at Maeleod and although the powers that be have been communicated with at Edmonton no definite action has been taken. The alacrity shown by the prosecution in railroading this man lo gaol is the direct anthesis of the energy shown by the Alberta government! in instituting an,investigation in order to ascertain the merits of the case.

C, JULY 30, 1910. Injunction Doesn't Stop Miners' Prayer Pennsylvania Strikers Evicted From Homes and are Forbidden To March or Picket GREENSBURG, Pa., July.30.—The miners in the vicinity of Irwin, Westmoreland county, are on strike for- an eight-hour workday, recognition of the union and a check weighman. Thu operators are willing to concede a clicck weighman if thc men will permit, them to select him. The miners do nol accuse the honorable gentlemen who own the mines of cheating in weight, but-'tis human to err; overworked weigh masters will make mistakes or be careless. So the miners want one of their number to stand at the scales and check off the weight of each carload of coal and ronort to the men blanks furnished by the union. This checkwoighman the roiners°will pay themselves. ■* Some of the bitterest battles ever fought in the coal regions have been waged over the right to put a man on thc tipple lo see tho coal weighed. Operators always claim that thoy nro not cheating. Maybe they're not. But if nor, 'why object to the check weighman? '. A sweeping injuuclioii has boon issued against (he miners by County , Judge -McConncll, forbidding thom to inarch on the public highways, forbidding any of* the strikers to walk past the mines.

The indignation of tlie man who works and is being flouted by the courts, neglected by congress, scorned by the attorney general's department and robbed by the trusts and other ."interests" is passing beyond" bounds hitherto generally observed. .This man is not going 16 hesitate at* voting under the name of Socialist, though he may reject Socialism's final principles; he wants a slap at' the discredited party machines. He would rather be for a time with the crowd, that declares it is .for tho people than with the rings that have shown themselves to bo the paid servants of plunderers as well as traitors to the general welfare." Mr. Gompers must surely realize, that capitalism ' controls all the functions of government.'-" Experience and observation have taught thoughtful men long ago, that the.legislative, judicial and executive departments of government are in tbe .hands of a class of privilege, and that under such circumstances, no reasonable man could expect justice from captains of industry who mint dividends from industrial oppression. Mr. Gompers has been arrayed against Socialism and has hurled his denunciations against Socialism with as much indignation a,s the bloated millionaire, who has piled up his fortune on the sweat, tears and-blood of ill-paid toil, but regardless of the protests of Gompers against Socialism the organization of which ho has been president for so many years, is _turn- ing to the doctrines of'-a," party", hat will 'ultimately bring economic, liberty to the nations of the world, , * ' Capitalism, with its countless thousands of hire-lings" drawing salaries as writer's and orators, * are thundering their protests against the "red spectre," but the movement -for human liberty is becoming mightier, and men of hope and courage are now beginning to >see. the 'faint tints of a coming co-operative commonwealth. , «isw-; IS CHILD OR COW, ' ■ WORTH thi: MINE SAFETY COAL MINES REGULATION ACT IS 'PROCLAIMED. - '^ COMES iNTO FORGE NOV. 1 Owners to Provide Rescue Apparatus Supplementing-th'e Government * Stations and Crews.

PARIS, July .'iO.—The question of Franco's depopulation continues to inspire the pens'of patriotic writers in tho-French—press:—"Is-a cow-ror—a-- child worth more ■ in Franco?" asks Clement' Vautel in the. Matin, and in furnishing the answer he'reveals* a feature of rural life in France'which might have been elaborated by a Zola. Take, he says,, a village .-which he names,in Auvergno. Fifteen children have died of diphtheria there within a short space of time. The village is M miles from the nearest town where a doctor is to be had. So tlie doctor charges $8 a visit, The peasants are poor; thoy only cnll the doctor in cases of extreme urgency, mostly when it Is loo late, But, suppose a peasant hns a cow which" he suspects has' got tuberculosis, what happens? x Ho'glves notico lo tho village burgomaster;, tho latter passes It on to tho prefect, and tho prefect orders lho veterinary surgeon of the nearest (own to examine thonanlmnl. What doos the peasant have to pny? Not n cent,, The veterinarian draws his fixed $6 a visit from the slnto. Whnt is ovon bettor, If ,tho cow has lo bo destroyed tho farmer gots a compensation, sometimes oxcoodlng lhe value of the boast. "To savo a diseased cow," tho writer exclaims, "the official mnchlno works at ■ full speed. But to savo a French child not a dollar Is sncrlflced!"

There" are over 5;000 men on strike .in.Ohio in:the Tuscarawas county district and in the'.Crook'sville district. These men are on strike against reducing the differentials that have existed in those sections.- In the Crooks- ville* district the differential in the mining,rate over the Hocking district ■■was - secured after the anthracite . strike, and the differential was conceded by ,tho operators because of - the vein being thin and other reasons which were" oxplalned at that time. ., In Illinois we'still have about 45,000 men' on strike'and they have been ■ .idle ever since the lst of "April. •• A , conference- was held of the representatives of-the operators and miners of 1 Illinois in Chicago on July 5 and tZ, but without results.

To the murder of Putlcr, who. was shot lo death*' last week by a* drunken sheriff, has been added a new. outrage of a still more desperate* character. ■ „•".. Deputies Act Outrageously. Three deputies entered the house of Jacob rCohen, near the' Etna Mine No.' 2, shot and severely-beat Cohen and injured ms wife and baby. .' r; Tlie number of dead since the strike "began in; March, reaches a total, of seven, three, of whom are .women. A bitter feeling of resentment has. been aroused by the cruel treatment'administered by the deputies, who'are not protecting lives a'nd prop~ erty, but are carrying on a highhanded . orgy of murder and destruction. Twenty Thousand Men on Strike. Twenty thousand men are out on strike in the- Irwin" coal fields and totally unorganized at the beginning, are now working in perfect solidarity and are carrying-on the battle for ah eight-hour day with determination. , -The months of enforced idleness are "being felt in the majority of the. homes and evictions from the company-houses are of almost daily occurence. Added to .these conditions, is the constant fear.of the deputies, who, they .realize, are , the tools of the employers. '-*.'*' • Mass Meeting Held. ''" -" A giant mass meeting was held yesterday at* which'thousands of,strikers gathered in protest: Prominent union officials addressed the meeting.

If-meat Is given, 'none but the following" should receive any" consideration. Beef—Roast beef,* steak or boiled chopped meat, .with --a little buttor. Lamb—Broiled lamb chops, A child over three can eat roast- leg of, lamb. ■ Poultry—The white part of roasted' or broiled chicken, .the white pari of roast turkey or squabs. ; Fish—Any kind, if * care Is tnkon thai all bones are taken out. All fish should either be boiled or broiled never fried. ■ Vegetables—-Thero aro a great variety of vegetables from which you can choose. But tho first to bo considered,is spinach, as it contains all the chemicals which the blood needs, Thon come' asparagus, siring .beans, green' pciis;'" cauliflower and ' beets, All .vegetables must be woll cooked, mashed and.seasbned with a little snlt. and buttor. , Ceronls—A child should gel cerenl at lonst' onco dally, as It Is vory nourishing. The following aro to bo preferred: Farina, .hominy, whonlena, oatmonl, cream of wheat' and rice. All cereals must bo boiled nt lonst one hour and n half, but. oatmeal, hominy and rico should bo boiled nl lonst two nnd n hnlf hours. Those cereals should be glvon with vory littlo sugar, a littlo bull or orcronm, Fruit—A child should novor gel any othor but. rlpo fruit, and nono but tho following: Ornngo, applo, pear, prunes (not plums), iiIho chorrlos nnd grnpoB. Tho latter aro objcclionablo on nccount of (heir Hoods, but If lho soods of tho chorrlos nnd grapes aro taken out they are very healthful, It Is noodloHB to soy that If tho child Is not old enough lo chow thq fond right tho npplos or pours Hhould ho scrnpoil, nnd in nny cftso only tho Juice of the ornngo should ho glvon, A child should 'never got ■ nny berries, bananas, moloiiB or ponchos.

No! the ticket would be issued to cover the distance which this amount would buy, in like manner as these are all commodities so is the labor power of the worker AND it is as illogical for him to give more than he Is paid for as it is for the sellers of the various articles enumerated. JOHN D. AND THE COST OF LIVING. In this week's issue we complete the reproduction of a proposed bill amending "The Coal Mines Regulation Act." We have printed installments each week feeling that, by so doing tliere would be a better opportunity, for our readers wh'.-» are interested in the coal mining industry to read over the different chapters and clauses and digest them better than if its publication had been made all at once. When we started these extracts we prefaced ihem with a request that any suggestions of amendment, improvement or additions of*any kind cither with,regard to the text, or to the objects involved would be acceptable and that we would give them space in our columns. Furthermore for the purpose of aiding those, to whom our suggestions might not be sufficiently clear we outlined certain portions that we'thought could be improved quoting the original and then giving our views. "As an evidence of the deep interest that has been -displayed by those whose welfare is effected by this proposed legislation we would feel that our efforts had not been wholly useless if ten letters had been sent in, nay more, even five, but instead of this small number candor compels us lo tell the truth and quote the exact number of responses to have reached the astounding figures of .000000. There are many features of this proposed bill that are decidedly superior to those contained in its predecessors , still there is room for still further improvements and yet they wlio ought to- be most interested are positively apathetic. This method of framing legislation is highly commendable and they who have, been instrumental in its initiation have shown that they believe that by submitting it -J *-»_*■ li.f_nj-_t-i»l*rt*-«_if_Tk--i*-_e■__■*■■-m.nil«r_nf_an4c-!__-V-.ri_ H*i-aflvi'_r*if_imQiiv. —iu~ixiUac ~vt U—_U-llr—UIU*3XJ— r ILCll* j Uil-v-vlU- I iw,—-4,-liC-J_-j — v*_ uu**.* j- mon many minds" would have a complete exemplification. In brief it is the application of the referendum in practice. Naturally it was, expected that this plan would result in the making of a piece of remedial legislation that would be rjeplete with beneficial clauses, but no, they who are constantly grumbling at conditions do not even display energy enough to write a single letter relative to' the riueslion* but in the event, of omissions of which they thought about but did not take the trouble to put on paper they will growl and wonder why it did not form a ' part of tho bill and more than likely attempt lo shoulder the blame on the local or district officers; this is not fair as these men aro constantly kept busy and It was to all and everybody that tho request was made,, fortunately, however, theso men have taken up the pro- ■posed bill duvlnt. tlio current week with Deputy Mlnlstor of Mines R. 13. Tolmio and Chief Mines Inspector Francis If. Shophonrd, and no doubt the result of their deliberations will result in certuln Improvements being mndo, still hnd nil responded offering suggestions there would li.'ivn boon moro incorporated In this anticipated net. The oporal ors also hnvo brought thoir observations to tlio notice of theso two gentlemen as that It Is the objoct of Iho departure I, e. to get tho opinions and advice of both tho employes and tho employers; wo do not know how llio Inttor responded yet we fcol safe in stating Ihnt they gavo II. fnr moro consideration llinn llio rank nnd file of lho mlnoworkors. ,Oyez! Oyez! all, ye who have long pondered over the best means to be adopted in order to decrease the butcher's, the baker's, the clothier's, the landlord's and the innumerable other bills that the pocketbook has calls upon it. The oracle has spoken, therefore let no dog bark. Put away all fear* of starvation or even impecuni- osity and hang up the fiddle and tho bow and take down the sickle and the hoe and get ready to make energetic use of these useful instruments of agriculture as the tools whereby the problem that dias puzzled the brains and furnished so much copy for the printer by the many saviors of society is now solved by their use. First get a small plot of land. .Sow to get possession some may ask, that is beside the question the main thing to get it is get and after this is effected purchase a hoe,-a rake, a spade, a garden hoe, a wheelbarrow, some potatoes, ■**> „ cabbages, turnips and other'■> food-producing vegetables and non you are' on the high road to the solution of this vexatious problem. The mere matter of whence comes the means to provide these necessary accompaniments for the proper carrying out of the scheme are simple details and to -those to whom they are obstacles and are inclined to inquire whence they are to be obtained would. relate the story of the sailor recounting his marvelous adventures in tropica! seas. Our hero told a.wonderful .yarn of how he was disporting himself close to the water's edge, but growing bolder he ventured out into deep water and whilst busily engaged swimming along he suddenly espied the sharp fin of a man-eating shark behind him, turning rapidly back he made all speed shoreward glancing furtively" around and to his horror saw the tiger or the sea was only a. few yards in the rear and the shore quite a distance away, hope sunk- in his breast and already He added "I felt the brute's teeth in my, flesh when with a sudden inspiration having been told that they could not attack under the water down I dove and' just-in the nick of time as my grim tormentor's body glided over the spot on the surface that I had'just left, but a few seconds ago, swerving around as if angry at ■■thp_sudden_escaDe_ofJus-noonday_.repastJi.is_huge_frAm_.

Again I have to,, chronicle one of those fatalities which seem to be an unavoidable accompaniment to the industry of coal mining and' yet they are altogether too frequent in this locality as the percentage of thousands of tons of. coal .extracted, per man killed or injured is far less than the amount mined in other countries where the natural conditions are certainly no' better, and if... anything in those districts where'very deep mining is carried , on decidedly worse. Various reasons have been advanced to account for the disparity between this country and the European continent, but few have stated that in consequence of ,tlie ' higher profits demanded on this side of the world the same precautions for safeguarding life are not effective here as are compulsory'in the more"populous.centers: To come lo the local- matter—Last Saturday morning, July 23rd, word was circulated about the street that another accident had happened..

There is nt the present tlmo a most distressing and heart rending case right here in Coal Creek. One of our residents, who Is addicted to the booze habit, was arrested In Fernie for drunkenness and locked np in tho City gaol, meanwhile his family suffers. His wife Is In a delicate condition and there Is practically no 'money with which to buy tho necessaries so Important at such limes.

"the-unluciry~victlm"'"was_ Mike"JagosT or as his name sounds in' English, Yargos. He, it appears was busy at work in 107 pillar No. 2 when a slip of rock and coal became detached unexpectedly and falling upon him broke his leg and also doubtless inflicted internal injuries as ho failed to rally and died In the hospital to which place he was conveyed for medical attention as speedily as possible after he was taken out-of the mine. The coroner's inquest wa_f*"called, but after meeting and attending to the preliminaries the adjournment was made until Thursday at 3 p, m. The deceased was 38 years of age, married, his- family consisting of a wife, two girls aged 12 and 8 respectively, and a boy of six yonrs, residing in Gmlna Radzlhaw, Gallcyia.

The eyes were pleased by pretty sights, the ears regaled by melodious strains and the sense'of taste was afforded ample opportunity for practice on ice cream, sandwiches and cake by those who followed,. out the advice of the cynic how to tame the unruly man, viz: "Feed the brute." The disciples'1 ac the shrine of Terpischore were numerous and they certainly showed. the ardency of their devotion by tripping merrily along until the youthful hours bi the morning. Congratulations and expressions of * pleasure "were flying around everywhere and their is no gainsaying the .fact that the executives of the tennis club so ably aided by the ladies are to be,complimented on the function. A nasty accident took place at the Carbondale Lumber company's works last Saturday when "John Palian, an employe, had the misfortune to receive severe" Injuries to his hand caused by the head of his axe flying off the handle and. severing the sinews aud leaders between the chumb and forefinger.' He is reported to be progressing favorably. What is the*1 matter with the Coleman football "club? Comments were freely passed by the spectators' and while we refrain from' reducing them to cold print we sincerely hope the committee heard the criticisms and may profit therefrom because we are compelled, reluctantly it is true, to acknowledge, that they were merited. One of the greatest drawbacks to improvement in all phases of life is the resting upon one's oars and living on a past reputation instead of keeping constantly in view the need of practice. To sleep, to dream,, after you're dead may be proper, but there's no reason for anticipating this condition whilst alive.
