The majority of the older and better-known pros- pects were bonded last winter or very j ea:!y in the spring, and on account of ihe lateness of the season in this section no supplies could be taken in until in .lime, and in some cases it was luly before any work could be started: consequently the amount of work done in this, the first year, has been comparatively small, but very encouraging.

The deals have not been confined to Salmon River by any means. To those who have their stakes in other sections, it is particularly pleasing to note that attention has turned to other areas, r.otably back of Stewart and also Marmot River, four miles down the canal. Several companies are preparing to undertake operations as early as possible, though for the coming season the work maybe of only a preliminary nature. Few new companies are strong enough to start exploration on a scale liKe the j Algunican Development Co. of Belgium, which already has a compressor plant on the Spider and will diamond drill the Northern Light this season. But though the lesser companies will have to go to the public for their development fund, the woik they may do this season ought to prove still further opening of new resources.
