Premier Operates Three
Shifts, inM-lf, on Tram
In addition to his Glacier creek
holdings  G. D. B.   Turner   has
secured  an  option   on   the old
Portland Canal mine, subject to
examination.    It is hi3 intention,
within the next few  weeks,  to
make a thorough survey  of the
ore bodies,   as   well as the old
workings.   This property is one
of  the   well   known   old   time
operators of the district, situated
at the mouth of Glacier creek,
o-i the east side of   Bear   river,
about live miles from Stewart,
and  in  close  proximity  to the
Dunwell,  recently   consolidated
with tie o!d Stewart mine. These]
properties are well situated  and
give every promise of making a
mine; though   nothing  definite
cm  he said   in   this  regard at
present, owing to the fact  that
considerable work will yet have
ti be done before the ore bodies
cm be accurately  dt-fined   and
their values determined.
Work on the Indian is progressing very satisfactorily.    A crew
i of ten  men  are   now engaged
driving crosseus to determine tin1 j
width of the Ore  bodies.    Until;
this is ascertained  no   definite
nrogram can be outlined for this
prooerty.   G. D. B. Turner and
R. L. Clothier returned. Tuesday
evening,   from  a   visit  to   thej
workings.
The Premier have been speed- i
ing up production  considerably
during the last few weeks, working three shifts at the mill  and
also on the tram.    While there is j
still some little trouble  with  the
latter, owing t > the frost coming
out of the ground allowing  the
towers to settle,  the stream of
ore coming off the hill is not per- j
m;tte I to stop.    The operation of
the two plants la made possible;
hv the  fact   that  there is now
p'enty of water available for thej
development of power.

nothing authentic can be ascertained in connection with this report,  it   is   given   considerable

were   classmates at college.    If
this report proves correct it will
have,  a   great  effect   upon the
future of the mining industry of
the Portland canal, as Mr. Hammond has the reputation of being
one of the leading mining engineers of the world.    Mr. Mackenzie is not expected to return

for the guidance of the people of
the people of Stewart on the
question of incorporation. The
secretary, Mrs. William George,
read a large number of letters,
written by the committee in
search of information, and the
replies to them, which in every
case were most indefinite, and of
little or no assistance; with the
result that a motion was adopted
by the meeting thanking the
committee for the work they had
done, and that the matter be

Among the  government officials
lu-esent were  C,   W.  Cheathrm
and   L.   F.   Vaile,   and   T.   H.
Evans, the local   road   foreman.
According to the former gentlemen the United States government are prepared to build two
wing dams, approximately 400 to
BOO feet in length, and will provide protection   from   the   rock
cuts to the old sawmill site; below
this point the people   of   Hyder
will have to   devise   their  own
means   of   protection.     J.   S.
Pitcher, L. Balch and E. Snider
were elected a committee to deal
with the situation.
The owners of the Delnort
group intend to this year do considerable work on their property.
It is their intention to take in a
pack train load of supplies as
soon as possible.
This property,  which consists
of twelve claims in all, is situated
on the head   of   Porter creek, a
tributary of the White river on
the Naas watershed.   The property    really   lies    across   the
Glacier from the head of Bitter
creek,   and   to   reach  it   with
horses the trail will have to be
followed  around  via   Meziadin
lake; thence south to the White
river, and up it to Porter creek,
across the head of which lay the
claims.    The  owners,   Mr. and
Mrs.   Joe   Green    and    Homer
Ficklin  of Hvder, believe they
have in this property the making
of a large mine.   The showing
on the property has an average
width of approximately 200 feet,
and can be traced on the surface
for a distance of 4500 feet, running from one side of the valley
to the other.    So far no work has
been done on the property oth'er
than surface work ar.d a thorough
Exploration of the ground.    Assays taken from the cuts have so
far been  very  satisfactory,  the
lowest  being   $1.80,    and   the
highest   $285,    in    all   values.
Twenty-four assays taken gave
an average of $40.80 in all values
gold and silver predominating.
This is the first property on
the Naas slope on which active
development work has been undertaken, and it is hoped that
every assistance possible will be
given the owners, by the government, in the way of opening the
trails, and so encouraging others
to develop that section of the
district.
Later���G. D. B. Turner, a
mining engineer from New York,
who is interested in several other
properties in the district, has
secured this property under option, subject to examination, and
intends to make a thorough survey of the showings as soon as
conditions will permit.
Premier Ore Shipments
During two weeks the Premier shipped about 3500 tons

POSSIBLY at no time in the history
of the world has any country produced a
statesman that hw weathered so many political
storms as has David Lloyd George.
Returning from thc Genoa conference to London he, after a short rest, again appeared on the
floor of ?he house of commons, and faced his
critics like the man he is, absolutely fearlessly, and
gave an account of his conduct of the affairs of the
nation at the now far famed conference, and even
though opposed by such men as former Premier
Asquith, Lord Robert Cecil, and Robert Clynes,
who supported a motion of no confidence in the
government, he won out by 253 votes to 20.
Such an overwhelming defeat will perhaps
tend to put in their place for awhile those critics
who, while he was at Genoa, did everything in
their pow?er to defeat and wreck his objective.

The real prospector is a valuable asset to the
province.
This may be a free land, but you cannot get
any of it that way.
SOMETIMES the work of the govern
ment calls for praise, and at other times
criticism. Of the latter there are several
types which can be subdivided under two
heads, constructive and destructive. Constructive criticism, when warranted, is at
all times in order, as it is done with a view
to improving matters.
Last fall, when the high water took out
the Bear river bridge, the Stewart Citizens' Association took every means at their
command to bring to the attention of the
provincial government the necessity of repairing or replacing the destroyed structure during low water, in the winter time.

INVESTIGATING MINERAL WEALTH
Forest Fires
by burning the saplings of to-day
All over British Columbia parties from the geological survey
of Canada will be busy this summer probing into the mineral
wealth ot the country. No fewer
than twelve will be at work in
this province under the general
direction of Dr. J. D. Mackenzie,
head of the survey in British
Columbia, according to an official
announcement.
Two parties will work in the
Cariboo. One will be under the
direction of Dr. W. L. Uglow of
the University of British Columbia, and the other under Dr.
W. A. Johnston.
A thorough mineral reconnaissance of northern British
Columbia will be undertaken by
Dr. George Hanson of the Vancouver office of the survey. Dr.
Hanson will be specially on the
lookout for traces of petroleum
deposits.
The coast line of the province
from Bella Coola to the Alaskan
boundary   and  the   islands  ad-
destroy  the Forests of to-morrow
PUT THEM OUT
jacent to it will be explored by
Dr. Victor Dolmage. This is a
continuation of the work done by
this geologist last year.
Vancouver Islands coal deposits, especially those in the
neighborhood of Cumberland
and Union Bay, will be thoroughly surveyed and mapped by
Dr. Mackenzie, assisted by A. C.
T. Sheppard of Ottawa, as cartographer and geographer.
A special investigation of prospective iron ore deposits will be
undertaken by Dr. G. A. Young,
at the special request of the provincial department of mines.
Dr. Young will be glad if owners
of possible iron ore areas will
communicate with him, care the
Vancouver office of the geological survey of Canada.
Dr. C. E. Cairnes will work in
the Coquahalla area; Dr. M. F.
Bancroft in the Lardeau; Dr. S.
J. Scofield in the Windermere
district, and Dr. W. E. Cockfield
in Atlin.

Mining men from Vancouver,
from Ontario, from American

centers, are arriving daily in
Quesnel. Even a big bull moose
swam across the raging Fraser
in front of the town Two men,
Etowe and Price, are trying out a
patent device for dredging gold
from the bars and benches, up
the Quesnel river four miles, on
the Curtis ground.
An American company has
moved in eight tons of drilling
material to test out the leases
held by Vaughan and Larson on
Cottonwood river.
Erakine Smith snd John George
Ullock have returned from staking five dredging and hydraulic-
leases on Lightning creek. They
had a fine sample bottle of gold
taken in sluice boxes from the
property. They are enthusiastic
over the showing.
Leicester Bonner, M. E., expects to operate shortly on
Lightning creek on his large
holdings there. He also is making arrangements to commence
work on the Borland leases at
Keithley creek.
S. J. Marsh is on his way back
from New York where he has
been for some months interesting
capital to build a large dredge on
the Quesnel river.
Mining is riding on a top wave
in this neck of the woods. Developments are highly promising
lor a big season's work that will
prove a new era in historic old
Cariboo.

More ore has been encountered
at the Esperanza mine, situated
about one mile from Alice Arm,
says the Herald. The ore was
found in the upper workings and
lhe vein is two feet in width.
The tunnel in which the ore was
found is the oldest tunnel at the
mine, and was driven in lllll in
order to strike some out croppings in the creek bed, but did
not reach the ore. Mr. Elge,
manager at the mine, decided a
short time uk��> to lengthen the
tunnel, and .truck the ore alter
driving a few feet, ll is expected that a considerable body
of ore will be developed, bin
work at prtMnt il suspended on
this   particular showing,   owing
to tbe Intro quantity of vstei

1921 show
AN AGGREGATE VALUE OF ��734,259,619
The substantial progress of the Mining Industry in this Province
is strikingly exhibited in the following figures, which show the value
of production for successive five-year periods: For all years to 1895,
inclusive, $94,547,241; for five years, 189S-1900, $57,607,967; for
five years, 1901-1905, $96,507,968; for five years, 1906-1910, $125,-

PRODUCTION DURING LAST TEN YEARS, $336,562,897
Lode mining has only been in progress for about 33 years, and
not 20 per cent, of the Province has been even prospected; 300,000
square miles of unexplored mineral-bearing land are open for prospecting.
The mining laws of this Province are more liberal and the fees
lower than those of any other Province in the Dominion, or any
Colony in the British Empire.
Mineral locations are granted to discoverers for nominal fees.
Absolute Titles are obtained by developing such properties, security of which is guaranteed by Crown Grant9.
Full information, together with Mining Reports and Maps, may
te obtained gratis by addressing
