VOL. 5, NO. 6 STEWART, BRITISH COLUMBIA, FRIDAY, JUNE 29, 1923 $5 THE YEAR 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 KILLED BY BLAST Well Known Miner Drills Into Missed Hole at the Premier Mine Wilh Fatal Results Oscar Nelson, who has been ^mining in this district for four years, three of which have been spent continuously at the Premier, drilled into a missed hole 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 Premier hospital. Oscar appeared to be recovering nicely, but j the revival was only temporary and he died shortly after regaining consciousness. The remains were brought lo Stewart Dominion Day, $300 in prizes.

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.'* SALMON RIVER BANKING COMPANY HYDER, ALASKA a.

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.

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.
