Silver Mines company is in splendid financial condition and has planned a big development pronoun for this year on their property. Considerable interest has been taken in this property of lutein ing to the fact that the Premier Gold Mining company recently purchased a one-third interest in it from R. J. Grant Mihrtfid and O. B.

DONATES CLAIM George Cameron was in town over the week end, ancl before returning up the valley to hi3 properties, recorded the S. C. A. claim, which he is donating to the Citizens' Association for the Hall Fund. This claim, which is situated on the west side of Bear river, opposite the mouth of Bitter Creek and just south of the International group, has a showing on it traceable on the surface for some little distance. In the old boom days a tunnel was driven in 50 feet on this lead which, at the portal, is only about 8 to 10 inches wide, but in the foce is only two feet and a half wide. It is the intention to later on in the seaFon nffle this claim, the proceeds to go to the fund which will be raised for the building of a Community Hall. Mr. Cameron did not have time while on the ground to get any samples for assaying, but will bring some down with him next week. At present pieces of the ore taken from the surface of the lead can be seen at the Portland Canal News office. ASSOCIATION . . STEWART LOCAL NEWS . . Fifteen men are now employed on the Indian property with two shifts working underground, and a crew on the trail���the latter being in bad condition from the melting snow. The underground work consist! of the driving of a crosscut from the main tunnel, which has for its purpose the cutting of a mineraliz*-d zone, and an ore body exposed on the surface, showing six feet of lead ore on the hanging wall. Owing to the fact that the showing is very promising on the surface. the result of the crosscut being driven to cut it at depth, is looked forward to with keen anticipation.

The latest entry into the local mining industry is the American Mining and Milling Company, a British Columbia corporation with a capitalization of $1,500,- 000. While this company has for its immediate program the development of the Sullivan and Daly and also the Divide groups in the Salmon river section, it is so organized as to be able to take over and develop any promising prospect that appeals to the directorate. Strong financial backing has been secured in Vancouver, a number of the most prominent men in that city being heavy shareholders, and also on the board of directors. Amongst these are such men as G. A. Gillies, professor of miner- ology and geology at the University of British Columbia; Major Swan, of the Vancouver habor board, late president of the Canadian society of civil engineers; The bullion plant at the Premier mine is now in full working j order, the first shinment of If you have done something .. ������ estimated to weigh from i G.

After Mr. Mackenzie King had organized his cabinet, with Sir Lome. Gouin in a conspicuous place, it was generally understood that the tariff would not follow the 1919 program. Mr. Fielding's budget cause less surprise than would have greeted a budget in accord with the platform. Yet the people were not quite prepared for the information that Mr. Fielding was against the platform from the beginning. As a practical administrator Mr. Fielding was obliged to abandon the platform whether he openly condemned it or not. It was an impossible tariff program and whatever the Conservatives at Ottawa may resolve, no government could follow the platform without financial, economic and political misfortune.

We are all trying to say pleasant things of the United States by way of promoting the era of good feeling. But this disposition does not require us to expect the United States to be so generous as Great Britain to an impoverished world. For two or three centuries Great Britain has poured out her wealth to assist her European allies in times of stress. Such help has been offered and accepted or sought and granted as a matter of course. The nation has become accustomed to be AFTER TEN YEARS FOR ten years China has been nominally a republic, with representative institutions and responsible government. In practice China has never adopted a permanent! -constitution, never had an effective parliament, and knows nothing of responsible government. An administration at Pekingand a rival govern-: ment in Canton have held office or lost it, accord- log as they were able to maintain military authority. In 1913 a committee of parliament set to, work to draft. permane-.t constitution. In three months it got so far as to determine how the presi- j dent and vice-president should be elected and their' term of office. The president so created suspended. parliament before it got any further. China is still under the provisional constitution. The first president died, or was killed. Li Yuan Hung, thei second, was superseded by a brief Manchu restoration. The third has just been deposed by General Wu. Li Yuan Hung, who has come back, proposes to restore parliamentary authority to unite the north and south and proceed with the establish- of the Chinese democracy.

Durinli the year the accumulated stocks of copper throughout the world were greater than any other metal, with the result that the ruling price was low. Through the co-operation of their various departments and the staff, the cost of copper production has been reduced from 15.94 cents per pound in 1920 to 11.65 cents in 1921. The average price obtained for copper last vear was 12.75 cents per pound compared with 17.85 cents in 1920. This big drop in price had a very detrimental effect on the year's revenue of the company, which, after writing off $300,000 for depreciation, showed a net operating deficit of $287,161.04. A total of 913,008 tons of ore was smelted in the company's furnaces during the year, the total copper production being 29,970,651 pounds, while the other metal yield was 493,283 ounces of silver and 8838 ounces of gold. This shows a decrease I in the silver production, as com-1 pared with the previous year, , but an increase in geld and copper.) The company's colliery at Ca- sidy, produced 215,211 tons of marketable coal; 125,686 tons were sold. Besides the new storage dam, already well under way, and when complete will bring about an annual saving of from $150,000 to $200,000 in fuel oil, the directors recommend tht* erection of a concentrating plant of 1000 tons daily capacity al Anyox, to treat a large reserve of silicious ore that can not profitably he smelted directly, and it its likely that work will be commenced on the erection of this plant before the end of tht year.

Her diet consists chiefly of chocolates and kisses: she also devours romantic novels greedily. Her favorite expression is, "Oh, how lovely." She weirs her hair down her back, sometimes in a pigtail which flaps about���hence the name. During the war she could be seen daily in large numbers in the war office and similar structures where she assisted overworked officers by making tea and smoking their cigarettes. They are affectionate and easily tamed, and are sometimes kept in a cage, which should be gilded.
