SALMON KIVER TRADING CO. IEW BUSINESS BEING BUILT N MAIN STREET SPECIAL CHURCH SERVICE, JINING activity on Bitter Creek already this spring has resulted in a small stampede in that section and a number of claims have been staked there. The gratifying results from the operations of C.N. Tubman and Ins associates at the L.L. & II. group, owned by Jack Harkley of Stewart, have shown a lead 27 feet wide with good assay returns in gold and silver and ft large development program -is about to be undertaken. Bitter Creek, like other see-ions of the district in 1910, caused considerable excitement, but not sufficient work was done, the low price of silver and th ��� financial depression soon afterward, not being any incentive to development. But conditions are changed now and Bitter Creek is once more in the public eye. Special Empire Day held Sunday, 8 p.m. church. Veterans wil music. service will be at St. Mark's attend.

Not alone the high price of sil/er which caused the renewal of development in this district, but the proven permanence of ore bodies assures an era of prosperity which is already in evidence. Large development proprams are being undertaken by several mining companies. Many more companies are undertaking preliminary work. An influx of prospectors means exploration of potential mineral area. Yes, indeed, things are different from a year ago. Very soon now Portland Canal News will increase its size.
