The Stewart Land Co. has offered ibe northeast corner of Fourth and Victoria streets, which would be an excel lent location. The company will donate this corner and agree to deed it to the city when incorporated. It is understood that efforts will be made at once to raise sufficient money to put up a building which will be a general meeting place for not only the Citizens' Association but the Portland Canal Pros- p ctors' Association and other bodies. Toe place would be large enough to hold dances in. The Mineral Display could alao be placed there.

For any bank which starts now there is a splendid apportunity. The business is here to the bank that gets in first. All a bank would need to start here would be the customary books and something to put the money in. Premises and fixtures are here. The lack of local banking facilities is one of the great drawbacks. What banking is done is with establishments in Prince Rupert, Vancouver, Victoria, Seattle and Ketchikan. The whole of the business would no doubt go to the bank first to establish a branch in Stewart. Any progressive community requires banking facilities, and especially a mining community. During the boom Stewart had two banks. Conditions are different now and instead of the mushroom development of early days there is a steady, substantial growth that has followed development of the mines. Conditious would now seem to be ideal for banking. Several mining companies are operating and others are about to | PORTLAND CANAL NEWS start. Business houses and individuals are all doing well. Wages are high and workers scarce. It is estimated there are some 700 of a population in the district. P.A.

C., Aug, 22,1919 DOLLY VARDEN , TRAM READY Steady Shipments of Ore Soon t6 be Made from Famous Property on Alice Arm���Railway Will Haul Other Ore as well. [ STEWART LOCAL NOTES George A. Fraser of the Stewart Drug Store is expected to return from Victoria the latter part of this month. Shipments of ore from the Dolly Varden mine to the dock are to commence at once. The tram connecting the mine with the railway has been completed. The railway should prove a great boon to the Alice Arm section as under the terms of the charter it is a common carrier and must take ore from other mines as well as the Dolly Varden. Under the terms of the charter also it must replace the trail as it used the old one for right of way. As a common carrier the line differs from the Copper River railway of the Gug- genheims in Alaska which apparently ruined a great copper district by not being a common carrier. William McLean who owns the David Copperfield property adjoining the Dolly Varden on the south has crosscut the ledge 38 feet showing high grade silver sulphides. , Miles Donald who is again operating La Rose has brought in samples that go 1000 oz. silve r, On the Climax group rich ore has been struck on the hanging wall. The property looks very promising. The Last Chance, belonging to Archie McPhail and under bond, is looking bigger with every day's work. The North Star has $300,000 worth of commercial ore on the dump, it is estimated. It is expected to be one of the early shippers of the district Mr. and Mrs. Will A. Barnes of the Vancouver Daily Province left for home last Sunday after spending a week here. A. McCloud was down from Premier mine last week. ���r- th'e W. H. Young, mining engineer, for the outside on Saturday. , Mrs. Howard Irving has returned to Stewart after a two-months' visit to the outside. Value of Gold. The market value of gold for industry and the arts is already very far ... over the coinage value here, but in leLLk ^pGermany the position is much more From April 7 to May 26 the price of gold In Germany for the Jew elry trade was 250 per cent, of the coinage standard of 2,790 marks per kilo���say, 6,975 marks per kilo. The Rlchsbank has now raised the price J. G. Campbell has gone to the Forty ,0 jiooo marks.���Metal Bulletin, Lon- Nine. . ' aon. ���_�� - acute Mrs. George Bruggie has returned to Alice Arm. Dr. R.
