Campbell. inal Results to Prospector and Mine Operator Should Be Manifold. EQARDBD among mlnlnK mon as a field of first Importance, tlie Stewart district of North- |rn British Columbia, yesterday was clared by 10. B. Campbell, mine Superintendent at Anyox, to lie a field which results to the prospector, Biine operator and the province in eneral should be manifold. In Ids ad- ���resg 1 efore Mining Institute, Mr. pampbell said in part: For the past year no part of Brit- tsh Columbia has demanded more In- crest, from a prospective mineral pro- ucing standpoint than that tributary lo Stewart. About 10 years ago this pliu o was the centre of a noted mining boom, and although at that time everal properties of decided merit re found the district was more or ess discredited by the foolish ex- flottatlon of a few properties of ques- iuiiable value. The interest now being taken in line development In the Stewart dis- ict is liased on many valuable discoveries of high-grade ore, and these fover such a wide area that the dis- rict as a whole cannot fail to be one Df first Importance. Only that portion of the Stewart nineral area situated on the Salmon tiver will be discussed in this paper, it is in this part that many of ' recent finds of rich ore hive been lade. Well-Known Contention. It has always been the opinion of fpologistt and engineers that the successful tenure of the mining industry in Northern British Columbia I must depend upon the development of primary ores of comparatively low metal tenure. Due to heavy glaciation most of the oxidized portions of the outcropping ore bodies have been removed; the same can be said of the surfaee- enriclied zones, as few ore bodies on the north coast, on development, show definite evidences of surface enrichment. The refent discovery of extensive lore tioilies carrying minerals that are unquestionably of secondary origin. Bitabliahu a reversal of the condl- turns thought to exist, as well as a [change in the opinion of mining en- | gineers regarding the types of ore In In. encountered in the district.

CAMPBELL Mine manager adjacent to. many scattered areas of sedimentary and numerous types of igeous rocks, and it is these areas flanking the granite mass that afford the greatest promise of reward to systematic prospecting. The Stewart mineral showings occur in one of these areas adjacent to the granite. Of Granite Formation. For the first five miles up the Salmon Itiver from where it empties into the Portland Canal the country rock consists of granite. In contact with this is highly altered schist of apparently sedimentary origin. Beyond this is a vast area underlain by greenstone and tuffs, and it is in these rocks that the recent ore discoveries have been made. The greenstone, which is essentially a quartz porphyry, has been sheared and silici- fied in places, and it is in such zones that the ore occurs. The greenstone in places is overlain by a volcanic brecchia, varying in texture from fine to coarse grained. This rock is generally grayish to green in color, and shows tlie same alterations as those found iu Ihe quartz porphyry. Where is it finegrained and changed to the color of tho greenstone it is almost impossible to classify accurately in the held. The greenstone, or altered quartz porphyrj containing the ore are part of a series of rocks, called by Mr McConnell the Bear River formation. These greenstones vary widely in appearance, ranging from light green and almost noraml quartz porphyry li a dark green and highly altered product. Mineralization Is confined largely to the gi eenstones, ami li onlj 11 ea .���in to a minor degree 'n the brecchia un Hie Province claim of tha Big Mia -nun i group an enormous de< meal of the prtaearj ore replaclni the greenstone Is exposed (Ml the Yellowstone group the ore occui together within the brec< hie Often No Obstruction. i ���,. i' ..\ in. ������ ,.i.i- rop . i ui of mine, nlw.e erali/.i i ��� SERVICE PROTESTED ��� BY MAIL AND BOAT SPOKANE, Wash., Dec. 4���Suit for a half interest in the Premier mine, formerly the Bush, near Stewart, B.C., was filed in federal court here today by Maurice I). W. Bacon of Los Angeles, against It. K. Neill of Spokane. Bacon alleges that a partnership existed between him and Neill and that Neill misrepresented the value of the Bush mine, as it was called when their alleged partnership was in existence, and thus fraudulently obtained possession of the property. ���Bacon charges that he loaned Neill a "grubstake" in June, 1916, whereby it was agreed that the two should share equally in any mining property taken over. It is alleged that Neill deceived Bacon as to the value of the Bush mine, as itwas reported on by Neill to Bacon, and obtained it for himself. Bacon formerly was in the mining business in Arizona and in the Northwest. He at one time was an associate of the late F. Augustus Heinz, of Butte, Mont. It recently was re ported that 51 per cent, of the Premier mine, a gold-silver property, was sold to the American Smelting and Kefining company by Neill and his associates, W. R. Wilson and Trites and Wood, of Fernie, B.C. Alleging that a fortnightly boat service on the part of the Grand Trunk Pacific, is against the best interests of the district, Charles F. Caldwell has wired the Stewart Citizens' Association that the matter is being investigated by Vancouver interests. The association met on Monday night and wired a protest to Ottawa both as re- sards the boat service and the poor mailservice. It has been pointed out that, even though the freight and passenger business offering here during the winter is less than during tho summer, the government, which controls the G. T. 1'., could well afford to provide a weekly service because of the encouragement it would give to developing of the mines of the district, thus producing revenue for the government. Interest In Portland Canal Manifested In Many Mining Centres SNOW TOO DEEP TO START UNICORN COL. LAMB LIKES BIG MISSOURI MINE Highly pleased with the result of his examination of the work at the Big Missouri, Col. T. A. Lamb, friend of Sir Donald Mann, head of the syndicate owning the mine, has returned to Stewart. He was accompanied to the mine by William Noble, superintendent, who met him upon his arrival from the south. Col. I>amb during the war served with the British army in Turkey He has been interested in mining fur a considerable time but says he never saw a section which pleased him so much as Salmon river. In the east much attention is being directed to Stewart, he says, and this is particularly true of Winnipeg. MELLOCHE AFTER GEORGE GROUP It is understood that w. a. Melloche, of New York, who spent the summer in this district as the representative >>f European capitalists, has obtained ir option on the George Copper group ownedb] w B George ol Stewart and K George of Vancouver v report i-. that a diamond drill will be put to work on the ' roup e. rli in the i ��� ��� dea cona immafsed, would mean much to the district, Il i li ere are othei groupa ad '.'Hunt ��� orgs w 'uch could Im ��� time DAN LINDEBORG IN LIMELIGHT Dan and Andy Lindeborg, pioneers of Saimon River and locators of the big Missouri and other properties, are now in Vancouver, and Dan is kept busy answering inquiries. Being so well known in the north country, it was not long till those who were interested in the Portland Canal found he was in Vancouver, ajid beseiged him with inquiries as to the progress of operations. He found much interest displayed in the new town of Hyder, which is on his old homestead, and everything indicates that Hyder will be the next big stampede in Alaska. With the greatest reluctance, and only after a hard struggle, those who were trying to get supplies in to open up the work on the Unicorn group. beyond the Big Missouri, have given up the task. E. H. Terwilliger, representative of J. R. McDonald and associates who have the bond on the Unicorn, is leaving for the south again, very disappointed that the heavy snow was too much for all the endeavors made to get supplies in to start work at this season. Two weeks ago Mr. McDonald wired from New York urging that work be commenced at the Unicorn, the intention being to put a diamond drill on the ground at once. Supplies were purchased and men sent ahead to break trail for the pack train. Not only had they the deep snow to contend with, but some dirty weather as wellThe supplies were left at. the camp of the Indian Mines, Ltd. Preparations Being Made in Southern Cities For Big Rush to Northern Mining Camps Early in the Spring ���Eyes Centred on Stewart. R. INTEREST GREAT IN SALMON RIVER PREMIER ORE COMING DOWN Interest in the property of the B. C. Silver Mines, Ltd., is great In Vancouver. Shares in the newly organized company are much in demand. O. B. Bush and Grant Mahood are the principal owners, having obtained the ground from Charles Lake and Dave O'Leary. It la understood that development work will commence early in the spring, and the three high grade silver veins found on the property will be stripped and preparations made for mining. The group is situated between the Bush Limited and the Premier. O. B. Bush is now in Vancouver where lie is kept busy answering inquiries as to the Salmon River district. A record in ore transportation by- teams is being made from the Premier mine to the beach at Hyder. Not only are the teams belonging to the Premier Mining Co. employed, but the teams belonging to the jBush Limited, Forty Nine and others are all on the job. It has been estimated that some 3000 tons will be shipped this winter. The roadbed is in excellent condition, by reason of the ground having frozen before the first snowfall. Tlie weather has turned clear and ecld. Difficulty in getting the engine of the snow tractor to work is still being experienced. DEAL PENDING ON MOTHERLODE GROUP MASQUERADE WILL BRING OUT CROWD Everybody in Stewart and Hyder is making preparrtions for the masquerade ball to be given on New Year's eve at the Stewart Town Hall under the auspices of tlie Citizens' Association. The affair will unquestionably be the biggest dance In point of attendance and success that the camp has ever seen. It goes without saying that some of the costumes will he the last work in ingenuity. EPORTS from every part of the continent apparently indicate that the Portland Canal is the big mining attraction for next year. In Vancouver, Seattle, Portland and other coast cities, as well as the smaller communities in the northern part of British Columbia and Alaska, one hears the same stories about the prospects for a big mining camp at Stewart. In Vancouver the hotels are full of mining men who are ready to come to the Portland Canal as soon as the snow is off the hills. Many, however, will not wait till the snow is gone. Judges of the situation maintain that the rush northward will commence in February and continue all through the season. For the information of those who have not been in this district before, it may be mentioned that it will be early summer before they can see much of the ground, for the snow comes early and stays late. However, as was the case in the early days of the camp, scores were on the ground weeks before the snow had gone, and as soon as they could they were out into the hills examining the various showings and the work done. That is about what is going to transpire this time. And the Portland Canal district will not disappoint prospective investors this time, as it did in 1910 w'.ien there was little work done. Since the days of that boom development has progressed until today the district has more to show than the most optimistic friends of the district would care to say. During this winter several mining properties are operating and reports are that the work is proving the existence of gome big mines. In addition to the work which is going on, the Premier mine will ship steadily later in the season, and the returns from some 3000 tons of ore. which it is expected will be sent down the hill, will be more than surprising. Last winter the two shipments made from this property gave such large returns as to attract unusual attention. Tlie returns this winter will no doubt be much larger.
