Vigorous Development is Being Undertaken this Season On Many Properties all Along the Canal and Bear River Valley. ACCORDING to every report, the Portland ("anal district will witness a vigorous de.elopment this season. Stewart is at present aim ist deserted of her prospector population, for these hardy men of the outposts "f civilization have laker, to the hills, srme to do their annual assessment work and others to make new locations in districts already proven and districts which they havepasaed over jn previous seasons. It seems likely this whole district will re-1 ceive a careful and painstaking exploration this year, for prospec-i tors have aired their determination to make this season's work as thorough as natural conditions will permit. There is a strong probability that'several of the old companies, formed back in J910, will start develoj ment apain. In the fnl- lowing; report, George Clothier, government district engineer, makes reference to only such properties as have been worked during the- past few seasons. What Mr. Clothier has to say of th so properties, coming from such a conservative engineer as he is known to he, is bound to a'tract favorable attention. f'ri>spectors now are scattered in all directions, and soon they will come trekking b ck, and undoubtedly with important tews.

Though At Divide, seven miles south of Tono- there is no timber on the claims, there pah, still the most prolific silver camp of the Southwest, one of the greatest b >oms of mining history is now in full swing, with the sensational and romantic trimmings that made Tonopah and Goldfield the talk of the world. From all points of the compass adventurers are rushing by the hundred: accommodations command fabulous prices; stocks are bounding up and tumbling down in kaleidoscopic confusion; San Fraacisco brokers are physically unable to handle all the orders thrust upon them and many men have traveled from pauperism to millionairedom, at least on paper within a few months. Comparisons are usually odious, and yet it will do no harm to point out that the Northwest can duplicate, and perhaps surpass, the mineral wonders of the Southwest. For instance, it is doubtful if anything in the history of the latter, except possibly a few Goldfield ore bodies of short life, can compare with the sensational, (m |m, ���,,r,Ui, ,,,,���, ,, illllllt ,; ;,,,,,��� Bush (Premier) mine, on Salmon River, of high-grade copper, from which several tons have been shipped assaying Sl'i oz. to the ton in silver; the balance is an abundance in the valley and on the opposite hill. Good water-power could also be developed from creeks 00 the opposite mountain. The property loks promising, and credit is due W. B. George for the amount of prospecting and work done on the claims under difficult conditions. BEAR RIVER MINING CO. This company holds a group of nine claims west of and adjoining the George copper-mine group. The ore- zone mentioned on the George group extends across this property. A tunnel has been driven 100 feet in a Blightly mineralized greenstone, with some stripping and open-cuts above in the same material. The tunnel is at an elevation of 2,500 feet and is too low to tap the ore-zone unless driven a great distance. GREY COPPER GROUP Directly west of tills group lies the Grey Copper group, consisting of three claims owned by Captain C. E. Clark and associates, of Victoria, B. 0. The work consists of an 9pen drift along the vein for 125 feet, giving the maximum depth of 10 feet. The elevation is 3,900 feet and 3,100 feet above Bear River valley. The vein is composed of brecciated wall-rock of argillite cemented with calcite and has a width averaging 6 feet. The ore-aeam, lying For information relating to Salmon River, Portland Canal and Alice Arm mining districts, apply to O.

The ore. consisting of a glassy quartz mineralized with pyrites and chalcopyrite, should lend itself admirably to the flotation process. At Swamp Point the Granby Consolidated Company employs an average of about thirty men the year round, mining limestone for fluxing purposes at their smelter. The production is about 250 tons a day. BEAR RIVER SECTION The Molybdenum group is situated just across Jiear River from Stewart, practically on tidewater, and is owned by J. W. Stewart and associates. The only work done on the property is an open cut on the vein at the edge of the river and stripping of the vein for 15 or 20 feet above the cut. This discloses a vein 10 feet wide, consisting of quartz, garnetiferous silicates, epidote and enclosures of a dark-green rock, probably hornblende. The chief mineralization is in pyrites, witli a little chalcopyrite and molybdenite scattered through the whole vein, and especially in the dark-green basic- rock. The molybdenum content will average about 2 per cent., and about five tons has been sorted and piled on the dump. The property is ideally situated and worth investigating for molybdenum. PRINCE JOHN GROUP The Prince John group, owned by Nesbitt ft Archie, is situated about four miles above Stewart, on the west side of Bear River. Development consists of surface cuts and a tunnel 185 feet long driven across the sedimentary formation. The cross-section in the tunnel shows ;i0 feet of greenstone- schists to the ore; thou 15 feet of BChistOBe slates and argillites through which the calcopyrite is disseminated and in veinlets and bands interbedded with tlie slates, averaging approximately 2 per cent, copper and $1 in gold and silver a ton; then 4? feet, of acidic dyke; and 65 feet oeyond the dyke of sparingly mineralised elates.
