Devoted to the Interests wf ike Districts of Northwestern British Columbia VOL. 5, NO. 8 STEWART, BRITISH COLUMBIA, FRIDAY, JULY 13, 1923 $5 THE YEAR IS SORE SIGN OF PROSPERITY Records Broken in Claim Staking and Shipping Annals, While Capitalists and Engineers Abound In the five office days between last Thursday morning and yesterday, inclusive, 73 mining claims were recorded with J. P. Scarlett, mining recorder. This is the heaviest week in the history of tha recording office since the boom days of 1910, and indicates the interest being taken in the Bear river section since the Dunwell has turned out to be a sensation. Practically all of the claims were staked along the Bear river basin. Eleven ships have tied up at the Stewart wharf in the past ten days. This constitutes another record, and is particularly significant from the fact that the -hipping is due to properties under development and producing. The hills are full of mining engineers, and capitalists locking the claims over from an investment standpoint. There is no boom in the Portland Canal district, but all ia well. finance, and will meet tonight to perfect the plans. Ivery town within a radius of 200 miles will be invited to participate. In From Murdock Jf. E. Douville and his two miners came in Tut sday evening from the Murdock group on the east side of Bear river glacier, where they finished the season's assessment work. In the face of the tunnel they have a fine mineral showing, principally steel galena, and a large average sample was brought out for assaying. Upon receiving the returns Mr. Douville intends returning to the property and laying out a pack trail from the government trail, so that supplies may be taken in in sufficient quantity to enable real development to be undertaken.

No Advertising Aecepted for First Pas*e PEACE RIVER-STEWART RAILWAY 0 tun IN discussing the Peace River-Stewart railway project we stated, in the issue of June 2, that: Greater tonnage per mile can be developed along the entire route than can be developed along any other route across British Columbia, now followed or otherwise. In substantiation of this statement, what do we find ? Starting with the Peace River country itself, 375 miles from Stewart, a vast territory, and possibly one of Canada's most fertile sections, capable of producing enormous quantities of grain and other farm products; rich in natural gas, oil, and asphalt, at present being strangled for want of shorter and cheaper railway transportation, but a country that once given this facility, would in a few short years produce millions of tons for disposal in markets abroad, and at the same time consume tremendous quantities of manufactured articles, and products from overseas; a country that in itself warrants the construction of this 375 miles of railway. But we spoke of tonnage per mile, so we leave this rich country east of the mountains, and come west into and through the Peace Pass, and in so doing, pass close to large deposits of hematite iron ores, now being investigated by Ontario capital. A little further west, and in close proximity, is a large semi- anthracite coal field, at present being developed by George Ay lard and associates. The day will come when both these sources of natural wealth will be the foundation of a great industrial centre in the north, distributing and consuming great quanti- of local, as well as foreign products. A little further west, the rich agricultural lands of the Parsnip and Finlay ri?ers would be made available for settlement. The country to the west of these streams containing, as it does, large deposits of precious metals, such as gold, silver, 9*4 ���tWHilti metals, would be opened up and made productive, (tossing over the watershed to the Skeena ami Naas rivers, the famous (.round Hog anthracite eoal fields would b�� traversed, and immediately to the west the agricultural and timber lands of the Naas, Crossing (bis seel ion tbe railway would reach the coast range, and in coming down through it, would for its entire length, be in the wonderful mineral belt, of which Stewart is the front door. No other route across the province can ever equal this from a tonnage per mile standpoint. Such a railway would not only make farming in the Peace River profitable, but it would at the same time open up for development the richest section of the whole North American Continent, a country that, if once given transportation facilities, would in a very few years afford a good living for tens of thousands of people. In addition to this tonnage along the route, a railroad would be established in Hyder, Alaska, thus giving that territory much needed transcontinental railway communication, and a large share of Alaska's eastern trade would be automatically diverted over it. During 1922 Alaska shipped to the United States, products valued at $48,596,- 532, exclusive of shipments of gold and silver bullion. While her imports from the United States for the same year, totaled $26,777,806, made up principally of tinplate, machinery, petroleum products, tobacco, foodstuffs and clothing. Never in the history of railroading in Canada or the U. S. A. has such an opportunity been presented to the railway interests of this Continent as the Peace River-Stewart route. Never has a route been even contemplated that has been capable of producing greater tonnage per mile as does this route. Never was one so necessary if the people of today are to benefit from the almost unlimited natural resources that would be made available by such a railway. This road is necessary. This road is essential if Canada is to utilize to the utmost the great potential wealth with which she is blessed.

McAllister ha3 left Prince George with a party of miners for the Peace River Mining & Milling Company's property, at the junction of the Parsnip and Findlay rivers. Mr. McAllister has spe^t several seasons in this district, developing an immense body of free-milling gold ore, which is said to be half a mile wide and to have ; been traced for two and a half miles. Tests in a small mill, last year, gave a return of $6.50 per ton. The property has been examined by a number of engineers, but its inaccessibility ��� 350 miles by river from Prince George���is saip to have been tbe bar that has prevented capitalists entertaining it.

AGGREGATE VALUE OF $734,259,619 The substantial progress of the Mining Industry in this Provinoe is strikingly exhibited in the following figures, which show the value of production for successive five-year periods: For all years to 1805, inclusive, $94,547,241; for five years, 1896-1900, $57,607,967; for five years, 1901-1905, $96,509,968; ifor five years. 1906-1910, $125,- 534,474; for five years, iftl 1-1915, |142,072,��03; for five years, 1915-1920. $189,922,725; 1921. $28,066,641: for the year 1922, $35,158,843. PRODUCTION DURING LAST TEN YEARS, $339,280,940 Lode mining has only been in progress for about 33 years, and not 10 per cent, of the Province has been even prospected; SOO.OOO 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 oth��� 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 whieh ia guaranteed by Crown Grants.

SURPRISES IN THE UPLANDS One naturally thinks of the region above timber line, with its vast reaches of snow-fields and its unscalable craggy peaks, its fog-cursed glaciers and windswept rocky ridges, as a land barren of all life, with the possible exception of a prowling, disgruntled grizzly, or hurrying caribou, crossing from one grazing valley to another. Yet the visitor to this supposed No-man's land will find it teeming with bird animal, insect and plant life. Wherever a bit of earth can find foothold, will be found the dainty bluebell, competing for existence with forget-me-nots and other flowers that are indigeous to the outer rim of eternal snow. "Whistlers," those uncouth, over-grown groundhogs, call to each other from the mouths of their burrows; the timid little marmot eternally watches for something to scare him, so that he may go chattering and scur- ying back into his rock-slide home: chipmunks gossip and call their neighbors names unfit to print; pack rats lazily plan the coming night's foraging expedition, when they will steal anything light enough to carry, and not nailed down. And there are some denizens of these supposed solitudes that somehow do not seem to fit in with the general scheme. For instance, on the mountain beyond Chickamin glacier and west of the head of Salmon glacier, an observant visitor recently noticed a robin, hummingbird, bat, bumble bees, grasshoppers, and more surprising than all, a "darning needle." such as frequent southern swamps and feed on mosquitoes. This alien may have been attracted by the swarms of insects that infest the uplands��� but how did he know that they were there? Aint Nature grand?
