No Advertising Accepted for First Page WOULD LIGHTEN TAXATION THESE columns have from time to time pointed out the necessity in this section of British Columbia, for a comprehensive system of trails, that would have for their purpose the opening up of large, rich virgin areas and the connecting up of a number of communities whose growth would be materially stimulated by intercommunication, and the consequent impetus that such trails would give the development of large, but at present almost inaccessible areas. The cry is often heard that B.C. needs Immigrants. What is the use of bringing people into the country unless steps are taken to develop the natural resources of the Province, by which to provide a payroll, and ample employment for our own, as well as the so-much-called-for immigrant? How can a new country develop unless it is opened up by trails and roads? Where is there a section of B.C. richer in minerals, furs, pulp and other timber, coal and agricultural lands than in this northwest corner of the Province? Why, for the want of a little foresight and business acumen, allow such enormous natural resources to lie dormant and non productive? Has such a policy em- made for progress: , - The extension of ike Bear river wagon road to the glacier is planned for next season, owing to the Granby opening the George Copper property. By the small improvement of existing trails, and the completion of a 25 or 30-1| mile link from the foot of Bowser lake to about the 9th cabin on the Yukon telegraph trail, the development of Telegraph Creek, Dease lake and intervening country would be facilitated, and the former would be afforded a shorter and therefore a cheaper winter outlet via Stewart. By the extension of a trail south from Meziadin lake to Ayiansh, Alice Arm and Terrace, the opening of the old trail east to the Groundhog and south to Hazelton, a number of communities would be connected. The intervening country would rapidly develop. The population would correspondingly increase, and the day when this country would support tens of thousands of people would be that much closer. The population of the Province would be increased and the burden of taxation, being more widely distributed, would be that much lighter.

STEWART AND HYDER WILLIAM McGREW, - - Proprietor SADDLE AND PACK HORSES COAL AND WOOD See us for Teaming Contracts Prompt Deliveries Tne opening up of the old Portland Canal mine on Bear river is the first symptom of the increased activity that this section of the district promises to experience next sea.son. While next summer's program on this property as yet only includes a thorough examination, and further exploratory work spread over the whole of the summer months, it will be a considerable stimulant to the entire Bear river section, particularly in view of the fact that the people j behind the project are a very strong and influential London mining group. And if, as in the opinion of many mining men who know the property, the geological structure is properly worked out. it will make a mine of no mean proportions, the whole of the Bear river area will become very active. The remarkable results obtained on the Dunwell, and the opening up of the George Copper property by the Granby, will have a very stimulating effect upon the mining industry on Bear river.

Stenbraten, who received the nickname "Stampede John" years ago because of his obsession for jumping from one mining camp to another, and who is known in every mining camp in the United States and Canada, has invaded Mexico, his address being La Dura, (Concentracion) Distrito Alamos, Sonora, Mexico. Writing to a friend in Stewart he says in part: I am now under a bamboo roof on the bank of the River Yaqui, Southern Sonora, and it is sure tropical here, and awful hot. All the bugs and stinging things are here. There are some very bad stories about the Yavui Indians, but to date I am o. k. Pigs, parrots, goats, snakes and chicken everyplace, but the ore is here. The Mexicans have from 600 to 700 pesos worth of native silver on their hats. At nights the band plays in the pueblos, to early morning hours, the "Hidalgo Funeral March." Long, slow and awful tones are they. Everyone is armed here, 200 to 300 rounds of ammunition and a couple of guns apiece. It's getting too hot���I surely would like to have some of your snow here now. Pete Wilson, of the Hyder Lumijer Co., has gone south for a vacation during the slack time in the lumber business.
