FRIDAY, JUNE 2, 1922 $5 The Year���10 Cents the Copy TAKE OPTION OH PORTLAND CANAL Is Subject to Examination. Progress on the Indian. 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. Among the arrivals on the Ru \ P'��, last week, was W.

Prince John group, bonded during the early part of the spring from James Nesbitt and Andy Archie, both of Stewart. While nothing authentic can be ascertained in connection with this report, it is given considerable credence owing to the fact that both Hammond and Mackenzie 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 tb Stewart until about the end of this month. John Mellor had a nice saddle horse come in on the Rupert, last Sunday, for the use of his daughter. Mable.

Mr. Sloan has returned to take the position of assayer for the Daly- Alaska Mining company, and is now up at the property. C'ay Porter and George Mehlfeld, are on their property, the Idaho, situated on the north fork of the Marmot. At present they are clearing out the tunnel and fixing up the camo.

John Cornyn, who has been employed the Premier's camp No. 4 for some months, came down from the mine, Wednesday, preparatory to leaving for Vancouver on business. He expects time ago to investigate the question of incorporation, under the Village Municipalities act, with a view to gathering information 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 dropped for the present; also that as there is no further work for the committee it be disbanded.

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.

The matter of electing an executive then came up, with the the following result: H. P. Gibson, president ;H. Campbell, secretary; Grant Mahood, W. J. Crawford, and J. W.

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. NOTE AND COMMENT Nights, like ladies skirts, are getting shorter. 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. Promises were numerous, but the winter has come and gone and still there is no guaranteed satisfactory means of crossing the Bear river. True a certain amount of work has been done.

This though is not the worst feature of this very unfortunate situation. During 1920 development of the numerous mining pile handy. properties up the Bear river was retarded owing to the fact that this very same bridge was taken out during high water.

This activity was predicted and pointed out on numerous occasions, therefore there does not appear to be any legitimate excuse why the district should not have been guaranteed long before this against a repetition of 1920. Pioneers in the mining industry have enough difficulties to overcome without being placed at a disadvantage sueh as they are this year in danger of having to face by the high water taking out the pile structure that has been erected over the Bear river.

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.
