The mining industry in this lection is showing great activity. number of deals have already keen made, and a large number jn in various stages of negoti- ition, and some Almost complete, iven to the outlining and pre- laration of extensive development work. Though no details lVe available for publication uneven particular has been jompleted. The wonderful record established by the Premier mine is the primary cause of this activity, joupled with the fact that that ompany are known to have, and -till to be acquiring, more ground In the vicinity of the mine. Apparently nothing now can Jtnp the development of the vast resources of this dis- meeting held for the purpose of diseussing the matter of the incorporation of the town of Stewart under the Village Act. At the last general meeting of the Citizens' Association, Secretary Rush was requested to write for information on this act to the newly incorporated village of Smithers. There was delay in receiving a reply; but now this is to hand, and in effect refers the people of Stewart to the British Columbia Gazette, wherein appears the advertisement of the incorporation of Smithers; asthis covers some 16 pages, it is even in this regard a very big question that the people of Stewart will have to decide upon. As this will need considerable study and investigation, it is proposed that a series of discussions be held in order to bring out every point for and against the idea. The first meeting, therefore, will be held on Wednesday, and every resident and ratepayer of the town| should make it their business to be present. HELP! HELP! HELP! Stream of Ore The ore transportation system from the Premier mine is now perfected, and everything running so smoothly that the tramline has had to close down for two or three days during the TEN CENTS A MILE! This is the modest demand of Canadian National Railways for riding on a steamboat from Prince Rupert to Stewart. And a poor service at that. FOUR CENTS A MILE! For riding out of Rupert on the railroad. SIX TO NINETEEN DOLLARS A TON ! To carry provisions on a C. N. R. steamboat from Rupert to Stewart, 120 miles. SIX DOLLARS A TON Carries goods from Vancouver to Liverpool, 10,000 miles. Are these monstrous freight charges authorized by C. N. R. steamship tariffs? God knows, and perhaps God only! Stewart doesn't know. No copy of any steamship tariff is furnished Stewart. Stewart pays, and signs on the dotted line. And Stewart is the British Columbia port that shipped a million dollars worth of gold and silver ore last year, and will ship several times that amount .this year. Are you charged too much? Are your goods delayed, miscarried, damaged, lost ? Just file a claim with the C.N.R. claims department. In two or three years you may get a settlement. But probably you will NOT. Meantime the hold up is passed along to the consumer in* increased rates, and everybody damns public ownership. Government ownership is no doubt a failure. And would appear to be in the hands of its enemies. But now the party of Laurier has succeeded to control of the government transportation system.

L. & H., is looking very good. The tunnel has been extended about 15 feet, and is still in ore, kf with no sign yet of the footwall. With the work that Charlie Tubman did in 1920, the new work on the second lead so far has proven it to be about 60 feet wide, carrying good gold and silver values all the way. Mr. Tubman, when he stopped work, thought that he was through the lead, but this year's work has shown that he stopped in a filling, for the first shot put in broke through into the ore again. Harkley expects to be down about the end of the month, and will bring with him a number of samples.

No Advertising Aecepted for First Page TRAILS WE have advocated in these columns in the past three issues a trail system for the Atlin district, that will have for its purpose the development of not only the agricultural lands of the Naas, but also the vast mineral resources of what is commonly called the eastern contact belt, at present lying dormant for the want of such a trail. The policy of the Department of Mines, in giving assistance in trail building, is very good and of much assistance, but it does not deal with such a project as suggested. After the main trunk trails, as proposed were built, an opportunity would then be given the Mines Department. What is needed, and needed badly, in this district is a system of trunk trails as proposed. We have heard a lot during the past T. McBRIDE, the Progressive member-elect for the House of Commons from Cariboo, stated recently in Prince George, when speaking of the Provincial bye-elections, that the Progressive party will run a candidate in every Provincial constituency that offers. Their first contest will be in Revel- stoke, where they will enter a candidate to oppose Dr. Sutherland. The Conservatives will also have a candidate in the field, thereby making a three-cornered contest. The outcome will be very interesting to watch, for it is the first time that the Progressive party have entered the British Columbia provincial field. The snccess which they have met with in Alberta, Ontario, and the recent Dominion elections is, no doubt, responsible. In Revelstoke and Omineca they doubtless will have a hard fight on their hands; but judging from their past records there is, -no doubt, but that they will have a great deal to say in the shaping of the destinies of the Province. BOWSERS ERRAND BOY CHARLIE CULLIN recently arrived in the Omineca from Vancouver, for the purpose of taking a hand in the forthcoming bye- election. During the last Provincial election we understand that he was in a portion of this district also, having been sent by W. J. Bowser, chief engineer of the Conservative party, for whom Charlie seems to be a sort of errand boy. Mr. Bowser evidently can not have a very high opinion of the intelligence of members of the Conservative party in the north, or he would notcon- few years of good roads conventions and !gider it necessary to send up a flunky to tell them trans-Pacific highways; and recently the government appropriated $3000 for one of these conventions in Victoria. Good roads and Pacific highways are very nice things, and no one can blame the people of the south for going after what and how to do it. Mr. Cullin had a government job in this country prior to 1916, but lost this when the Conservative party went out of power. This country being at war at that time, it was not good enough for him to live in, so he went to the States. Now that the war is over, he comes back, evidently thinking such luxuries, for that after all is all they j it safe, and that he may get <\ government job. are, For after they are built they do not Surely there are some real men in the Conserva- stimulate industry or give employment. tive Partv in the Omineca. They possibly bring in a lot of soft tourist money, which is dirtributed among a few; N0TE AND COMMENT outside of that they do nothing. British Columbia today is faced with a big unemployed question, which can never be satisfactorily answered until her natural resources are opened up���thus creating employment. One way _to facilitate this is the construction of roads and trails into sections of the province which are; known to contain almost unlimited natural resources, such as Atlin. Get these districts opened up and the unemployment question will right itself to a great extent, and at the same time increase the revenues of the province; thus will the burden of the taxpayer be lightened. As the people of thesonth get together and demand good roads; let the people of the north, particularly Atlin, get to-j STEWART NEWS gether and request a comprehensive trail system as suggested. If you don't go after a thing you never get it. HOME RULE FOR STEWART. Look ahead or you won't get ahead. If you have half an hour to spare, don't spend it with someone who hasn't.

Service For The Thrifty Thrift is a habit that should be cultivated not merely to make provision for the future, but because of a desire for advancement and full achievement, and for the sturdy independence, the happiness and the contentment that it brings.

Nuf Ced The minister of mines in his [ report for last year states that the policy of extending financial assistance in the construction of roads, trails and bridges to mines or deserving mineral claims, has been continued in accordance with the terms of the Mines Development Act. This has been done where the resident mining engineers have reported favorably upon applications for aid. That this co-operation by the mines department in the development of the mineral resources is appreciated has been indicated in many ways, but perhaps, the need is best shown by the number of properties, proven to be of merit, that have been helped from the prospect stage to the point of clear demonstration of value by the provision of transportation facilities. From the date of inauguration of this policy to March 22, 1821, there were authorized for expenditure on mines roads and trails $425,015 of which there were expended $378,319.' Similar authorizations from the 1st of April, 1921, to the 30th December of the year totalled $24,561. In tht course of favorable comment on the effects of this phase of the department's activities a mining man of East Kootenay observes: "Mine trails are the arteries through which flows the lite of an mineralized an undeveloped area. An old trail full of windfalls and grown over with underbrush is worse than no trail at all," SADDLE AND PACK HORSES COAL AND WOOD See us for Teaming Contracts Prompt Deliveries I King Edward GRILL Under New Management HYDER AUTO SERVICE Home Made Bread and Pastry Salmon River Trading Coy PLACERS ARE NOW COMING BACK Much Interest Now Materializing in Bridge River Field That Has Produced Great Riches Give us a trial.

GOOD INTENTIONS CRAWFORD TRANSFER FOR TEAMS, SADDLE AND PACK HORSES.. WOOD AND COAL STEWART, B. C. W. J. CRAWFORD, Manager WALT MASON I know not what my neighbors say as I pursue my plan, and undisturbed I go my way, and do the best I can. I know that no man is so wise, so virtuous or so grand, that he will not by carping guys be criticised and panned. And so I strive to do what's right, and care no whoop or hoot if what I do stirs up the spite of any cheap galoot. I used to worry when I heard how men had roasted me; my heart, by dire emotions stirred, was gloomy as could be; A* and I would sadly wonder why applause I could not gain from Joseph Jinks or Henry Spry, or Abner P. McLane. The years slid .by as years will slide when they're not fastened down; age came, and I no longer tried to please the whole blamed town. Men's words no longer jarred my nerves, I said, "I know my worth; if other guys don't like my curves, let them fall off the earth. If I do what is right and just, as down the world I go, it cuts no grass if I am cussed by all the skates I know. Oh, my intentions are the best a man can pack around, and taunt and jeer and gibe and jest are only empty sound." I care not what my neighbors say about the things I do, as calmly I pursue my way, with righteousness in view. : ::::::::;::::::;: TRAPPERS i ce 1 For Yrar Conveniens SHUBERT Opened Has Dep< VANCOUVER ��� IJRITI8H COLUMBIA. at 1 Lucky Bird On a swinging bough sat a little bird, And he twittered away in glee, And as I listened, the thought occurred, What a lucky bird was he! His gladsome song thrilled me through and through; But I thought to myself, "By jing, Who wouldn't be happy if he'd nothing to do But sit on a limb and sing?" It is easy to find fault, because nobody wants it. A corn in the hand is worth two on the foot. Any man who wants but little here below has it above the ears.

Tel. 5 Short ALL THE COMFORTS OF A HOME * ARE TO BE HAD AT THE HOTEL STEWART Makes Will With Card Pack One of the oldest wills on record was that where a wealthy woman made her will after the following fashiqn: She took two packs of cards. On one she marked the names of the friends and relatives she wished to remember. On the other she wrote different articles of value she had to leave. She called in her attorney and giving him one pack of^cards told him to start playing with them. The attorney threw down a card and she threw down one from ihe other pack. This went on until every person was remembered and the will was drawn up so that the person remembered secured the gift that was taken with the card on which his name had been written. Fastest things on earth must be clues; they are rarely run down. The best man and the worst are least troubled by their consciences.
