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.

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

ANNOUNCEMENT TO THE PUBLIC--
STEWART   LOCAL   NOTES
A sudden change in the weather  has
1 come after about  a three  weeks' hot
