DUNWELL LOOKS
LIKE REAL MINE
Vein in Lower Tunnel Is
Crosscut 40 Feet without
Reaching Wall-Is Good
Concentrating Ore
The Dunwell is shaping up like
a real mine, in fact numbers of
experienced mining men who
visited the property this week
are emphatic in the statement
that there can now be no doubt
as to its becoming a big producer.
In the lower tunnel, which has
been driven 290 feet, reaching a
vertical depth of 240 feet, the
vein has been penetrated 40 feet
without the footwall being reached, and a large proportion of the
ore is of good milling grade,
while some of it shows high values in silver. This is an east and
west v- in, and 60 feet more of
crosscutting should reach the intersection of a north and south
vein which carries native silver
and silver sulphides in a shoot
that has been opened up in the
upper tunnel, 100 feet above the
present workings.
I he success of this property
is by far the most important
event in the history of mining
on the Bear river, and residents.
as well aa the owners and management of the, property are
naturally elated.

Oscar Nelson, who has been

Thursday of last week, and later
died from the effects of the shock
he sustained when the charge
exploded.
The thigh bone of a leg was
broken, and attended to at the

DOMINION DAY
STEWART
The Logical Port
IN THE issue of last week we published a letter from a resident of Spirit
River, stating that the C. P. R. has a re-
connoissance party in the field, reconnoi-
tering a railway route from the Peace
River to Stewart, across northern B. C.
This was the first intimation we had upon
the subject of a tangible nature, though
there had been rumors for some months.
Now that the curtain has to some extent been lifted, it is interesting to note
that the Edmonton, Winnipeg, Vancouver
and Victoria newspapers all carry articles
dealing with the C. P. R. planning a northern route, with a northern terminal, and
that they have four parties in the field;
all of which is interesting, not to Stewart
alone, but also to the whole of northern
B. C, the Peace River country and the
territory of Alaska; for such a road would
mean the development of the enormous
natural resources that are at the moment
being choked for the want of such transportation. This applies not only to the
agricultural industry of the Peace River
country, but also to the mining, timber,
agricultural and fishing industries of northern B. C. and Alaska.
We have heard a great deal of late
about Vancouver and Prince Rupert as
grain shipping ports, the argument in
favor of which has been that they are
closer to the western wheat belt than any
of the Atlantic porta. As a result of this,
wheat is now moving west, and being
shipped advantageously through Vancouver.
LAST YEAR Stewart had a bang-up-
to-the-minute Dominion Day celebration,
and everyone had a thoroughly good time.
The sports were well conducted, clean, and strenuously contested.
This year practically the same program is
being carried out, and judging from what happened lastyear, the public can look forward to a
joyous day on Monday next.
Dominion Day is a statutory holiday throughout Canada, and one that should be observed by
both mining companies and business people. It
is to be hoped that the Premier management will
see its way clear to allowing at least some of its
employees to join in the festivities. The old saying still holds true: "All work and no play
makes Jack a dull boy.'*

AFTER puzzling over the following-
clipped from the Prince Rupert News-
until near the verge of collapse, the mining editor called the entire staff into cansultation,
but not one was able to figure how a three-foot
vein could be four or five feet wide. Can you?
Here is the clipping:
"A three foot vein of high grade gray copper and silver ore, four or five feet wide, has been
opened up in the Lake View group of claims by
Hugh Harris."

SILVER-LEAD ZONE
600 MILES IN LENGTH
The successful development of
the silver-lead deposits of Keno
Hill, Mayo diatrict, Y. T,. on the
one side, and the encouraging
results being obtained by J. M.
Ruffner in the development of
his silver-lead holdings in Atlin,
to the south, have led the Alas-
ka-Treadwell interests, who are
active at Keno, to look into the
possibilities of the extension of
the silver-lead zone south as well
as north. They have bonded a
recent discovery just across the
British British Columbia border
and will develop it.
The importance of the fact
consists in this, that the silver-
lead deposits now known to exist in Ominica, Portland Canal,
Babine, Atlin and Yukon Territory point to a continuous zone
of silver-lead country extending
for a length of over 600 miles, in
which it is possible to make new
discoveries of silver-lead ores.
There is a world shortage of lead.
No new fields are being discovered. Silver-lead mining is likely to prove remunerative to the
discoverers of new prospects of
value and to be attractive to
capital.
Williams has delayed his trip for
a few days, but the snow is disappearing rapidly, and meanwhile he has made a trip to
Hunter Basin to look over the
claims Frank Chettleburgh recently bonded from O.A. Reigle,

Negotiations  are   being  conducted by representatives of the ,

with Messrs.   A. R.   Macdonald i
and  James  Hicks,   owners  of
eight mineral claims at Boulder)
creek^A few miles east of Haz-1
el ton.    It is said   that   there  is
every probability of the   Granby
Company acquiring these claims
as the ore they   carry   is  of a
character that is needed by the
company.
The Granby Company possesses an option on these claims and
intends to do coneiderable work
to ascertain depth. Just now
Mr. Macdonald is doing assessment work, and later the property will be examined by an engineer.
The ore is grey copper, with
principal values in silver.

One of the best ball   games of
the season, so far as  providing
fun for the fans is  concerned,
was pulled off Sunday afternoon
on the local  grounds,   between
the Hyder team and  a  pick-up
aggregation from this town. The
game was called for 2:30, but the
Hyder boys and the fans  had to
wait around until 4 before they
got any action.    Then   McNeil,
Frizzel and Charlton showed up,
and the grand stand and bleachers were frisked  for fillers-in.
So far as that is concerned however,  some  of  the  substitutes
showed as much class as some of
the regulars have in the past.
Hyder was shy two outfielders,
so Arsneau covered center and
left, and Sam Potts was sent
into right. Sam had never played
the game before, but the old
cricket swing gave him two hits,
and if he had known that he
could be put out by leaving the
sacks, he would undoubtedly
have scored. Bob Frizzel made
the only tally for Stewart by
swatting a long one out into the
left field bushes and romping all
around the diamond. He had
his rompers on. McQuade, a
visitor from Victoria, helped
hold down the score by snaffling
onto two long flies in left. The
game resulted, Hyder 5, Stewart
1.   The line-up follows:
