Concentrates From Toric
Mine Piling Up
On Wharf
A daily stream of concentrates
from the Toric Mine is coming down over the Dolly
Varden railway at the rate of six
or seven tons per day. Over one
hundred tons will be brought down
before a shipment is made.
A quantity of lumber arrived
from the south on Monday for the
mine, and will be used for construction of a new bunk-house and
for other purposes.
Molybdenum   Samples
rain on Display
A new bunch of ore samples from
the Tidewater Molybdenum property owned by G. W. Bruggy and
Wm. McFarlane were brought to
town during the week to replace
those sent to the Vancouver exhibition. The Molybdenum ore from
this property again carried off first
prize at the exhibition, and makes
the fifth consecutive year it has
done so.
Experts have pronounced the
Tidewater deposits as being the
richest in the Dominion. It is the
intention of the owners to develop
the property as soon as possible,
and/a company will probably be
formed for this purpose.

Large Number Enjoy House
Warming Party
A highly enjoyable house-warming party was held at the home of
Mr. J. Stark on Wednesday evening when thirty-three guests were
invited to celebrate the finishing of
the host's new residence on Valley
View Heights.
The host spared no effort to
make the evening as enjoyable as
possible for his guests.
The evening's entertainment
commenced with a banquet, and
platters piled wi^h roast chicken
disappeared without any- apparent
effort, together with all the sidelines that go to round out a substantial meal. The host's health
was proposed by A. C. H. Gerhardi and drank with   enthusiasm.
Following the repast a concert
was held in which everyone took
part, a number of choruses were
also sung.
It was one of the most delightful
evenings spent by those present
for a long time, and Mr. Stark,
was the recipient of many congrat.
ulations for his hospitality. His
new home was also milch admired.

Stocks of Copper Are
At Low Level
Available supplies of copper are
now light with the result that
prices are maintaining a high level,
according to the Brookmire Economic Service. It is true, it adds,
that the rain of production has expanded both in the United States
and abroad but there has been a
further ducliite iu refined stocks lo
a very low level. Moreover, further reductions in stocks in British
official warehouses occurred.
Consumption is receiving its
largest impetus abroad rather than
in America although some misgivings are felt over trade prospects
in Germany. This is offset by recovery in countries, suoh as France,

The increase of Canada's population by immigration is a problem
that has taxed the brains of Canada's leading statesmen for a great
many years. At the present time
the problem seems far from being
solved. The latest scheme is to
bring out from Great Britain many
thousands of men to work as harvesters, and these will shortly arrive. While the majority may
find work in the harvest fields during the next two months, what
will happen to those who don't
and what is going to happen to
these thousands when the harvesting is finished? The prairie is an
inhospitable country for an out-of-
work stranger to be in during the
winter months. With no money,
friends, or home, or work what is
he to do, except to accept charity
or starve? While every good loyal Canadian wishes to see our
empty spaces filled with a prosperous population we do not believe
that it will be done by bringing
men here in the fall of the year.
If immigrants are to be encouraged
they should be given encouragement during the spring, when they
have a chance to make good before
the winter commences.
The mining boom in British
Columbia shows no signs of abating, and those who are in close
touch with the industry throughout the province, emphatically state
♦that a boom does not exist, but
that the mining industry is still in
its infancy. The reason that mining has engaged the attention of the
public recently is the fact that the
people of British Columbia are
commencing to realize the enormous extent of the mineral wealth
of the province and the fruitful field
it offers as an investment. It is
well known that a large number
of the biggest fortunes ever made
were due to mining. The men
who made their money in mining
were willing to take a chance on a
promising property. They backed
a winner and won a fortune.
What has happened in the past
is happening today and will continue long after we have finished admiring the high grade along
the celestial highways. Mining in British Columbia is stepping right along. We now have
126 shipping mines and the number is increasing. British Columbia
is now the world's third largest
producer of zinc and fourth of lead.
She is Canada's largest producer
of copper, and follows Ontario a
close second in the production  of
Mining News From The
Stewart Camp
Good Ore Reported George
Copper
Portland Canal  News
If the report which we have on
pretty good authority is correct,
development of George Copper
property would appear to be reach
ing a very interesting stage, a
condition, in fact, that presages
extensive development by the Consolidated Smelters, who are now
doing the work. The report, which
is accepted as pretty much of a
fact on the streets of Stewart, is to
the effect that the drills which
recently started work again have
cut a 50-ft. body of copper ore,
and while the story gives nothing
as to values, it is said to be good
looking ote.
If correct, this is one of the most
important events to the upper Bear
iu many months, as it will mean
greater development and enhances
the chances of a large operation in
that section.
High Grade at Premier
The report circulated in the district to the effect that new high-
grade ore has been located in the
Premier Mine is probably based on
the breaking of new high grade ore
in the stopes as development work
is carried on. According to anth-
orative information received this
week by the News, the report as to
the breaking and shipment of new
high grade is correct.
Increase on This Year's
Salmon Pack
To date the British Columbia
salmon pack is in advance of what
it was last year, for the same
period. The total is 324,076 cases,
according to a bulletin issued a few
days ago by the Dominion Fisheries Department. The corresponding total for last year was 280,319
cases. There is a decrease of sock;
eye and spring salmon, but more of
the cohoe. pink and chum varieties.
In the north it is expected the run
of humpback will be large.
lver. The province of British
Columbia covers a large area,
and some districts naturally obtain
a lead on others in development
work. But every promising camp
will ultimately be developed,
and among them Alice Arm,
which has the reputation of being
one of the richest camps in the
province.

Mining Engineer Inspects
Properties
D. C. McKechnie, mining engineer for the Canada Consolidated
Mining' & Smelting Co. arrived in
Alice Arm on Monday and left on
Friday. While here he examined
mining properties on the North-
East Fork of the Kitsault river iii
company with W. G. McMorris.
During his previous visit of a few
weeks ago he examined properties
on McGrath mountain.
Apples Flourish at Alice Arm
Apple orchards in Alice Arm will
be among the future attractions of
this mining town nestling among
the mountains at the head of the
inlet, judging from the display of
apples on the trees at the Alice Arm
Hotel. The apples are of good
color and a fair size, and last season
were of an excellent eating quality.
Mining Companies Want
Men
The prosperity of the province,
especially the northern portion is
shown by the shortage of labor
that is now prevalent. Several
mining companies are unable to ob
tain sufficient help to complete their
outside work before the winter
sets in.
During the week a telegram was
received by H. F. Kergin, M. L. A.
from the Premier mine requesting
the services of any idle men around
Alice Arm. A telegram was also
received from Atlin asking for men
The Granby Co. also are placing
men whenever they can be secured,
Apparently everyone will have a
chance this year to make a stake
before the winter snow hits this
section of the province.
Californians Take Interest In
North Mining
People in California are taking a
greater interest in mining in British
Columbia, states Mr. Forrest L.
MacDonald, president of the Utility
Mining & Financing Co. who
recently returned from a trip to San
Francisco and other California)!
cities. Those in the south are becoming more acquainted with our
vast mineral riches of the north,
and the financing of companies
who are developing a meritorious
property is becoming easier than
formerly.
The Utility Co. is at present
developing the Tiger property with
outstanding success, a report of
which appeared in the Herald two
weeks ago.

Great Britain Still Leads As
World's Creditor
In a report to the Economic Committee of the League of Nations at
Geneva, some remarkable figures
were disclosed. Although the
United States are certainly growing in importance, Great Britain is
still the world's greatest creditor;
her foreign investments are roughly
given as £4,000,000.000. The
United States investments are
given at £2,800.000.000.
