ANOTHER BIG ASSAY FROM MARMOT RIVER Marmot River it again in the limelight, locally, by reason of additional high assays from ore brought in from that section. Roy Clothier, assayer, has put in the past two weeks prospecting in various parts of the Marmot, and this week he brought in specimens from a new discovery, made by himself, which gave very high returns in silver and gold. George Clothier, district engineer for the Bureau of Mines, arrived Thursday morning to make a report on the road and trail requirements of Marmot section. He went immediately to the district and intends to leave again for the south on Sunday. He came on instructions of Hon. William Sloan, minister of mines, in response to a petition from owners and operators in the section. More than a hundred claims are located there and considerable de- j velopment is taking place this season. Lack of a road, and the i poor trails, are serious drawbacks the petition pointed out to the minister, and Mr. Sloan with his customary activity got busy at once. Dr. W.L. Uglow, mining geologist for the B.C. Exploration Co., who has spent the best part of a month studying the geology of the section, took his outfit south Thursday morning, as his work on the Marmot is completed for the present. He will next make maps and reports of his work. On account of the fact that options held by the company have not been dropped it 13 taken the geologist was inclined favorably toward the district.

MODERATE PRICES ACCURACY GUARANTEED Judging by the readiness with which the incorporation petition is being signed, the majority of the residents desire it. While there are some who do not believe it will be of any benefit to. the town, they appear to be in the minority. The chief argu-1 ment against incorporation seems U FlUCr FI6W the unfortunate experience of ma,ni!2fC1116nt certain towns under the old system, which borrowed beyond their depth. The Provincial Government, in the Village Act, for the incorporation of small communities, had in mind the very experience which local objectors use in argument. The Village Act does not permit reckless borrowing. Another argument heard is that paid officials will deplete the town's finances. That appears to be very thin. One man is said to have been arguing against incorporation when he stepped through a hole in the sidewalk. Under the present system there's no way of fixing the walks. Business men now and then fix the walks in front of their own places but they cannot be expected to do it I Cigars, Cigarettes, Candy or make the streets passable inl soda lAr front of property held for spec- MILK and ON if.t ulationonly.
