He was rushed to the Stewart hospital, where Dr. Chace amputated the remains of the left hand above the wrist. Considerable difficulty was experienced in getting the injured man down from the workings to lhe trail at the lower camp, a distance in elevation of 24)0 feet, There b.-ing no trail owing to the tram being in operation it was found necessary to cut steps in the snow in a large number of places. John Haatti, the foreman on the work, preceded the party to the lower camp. Not being able to get the office on the phone, being noon hour, he came into town, notified the doctor and the hospital, and got Oney Mc- Fadden's dog team and went back with a sleigh, and met the injured man just below the lower camp.

G. D. B. Turner and associates have recently acquired control of the Indian Mines, Limited, and adjacent claims, and will commence active development on or about March 15. The deal, which was virtually closed some weeks ago, was not given out for publication until this week, for the reason that the purchaser did not want any publicity until control of certain outlying claims had been acquired. The Indian is one of the old properties in the district, and consists of four claims, situated in the Salmon river valley, on the Canadian side, a short distance northwest of the Premier mine. Considerable work was done on the property some years ago by the Clothier brothers, who were heavily interested. Later a company was incorporated, and some 600 or 700 feet of underground work was done, in addition to extensive surface work. Good camps were also established and everything in this regard is in readiness and very little delay will be experienced before real development will commence. The work so-far done shows a good vein from 6 to 14 feet wide with fair gold and silver values, and in places considerable galena. The latter is uniformly low in silver values. The terms of the deal are not exactly known, but it is understood that the old Indian company, whose affairs are in good shape, are to retain a certain interest in the newly organized company. G. D. B. Turner and associates are putting up the working capital, in return for which they are given control of the property. Mr. Turner is one of the well known mining engineers of this continent, and is at present in New York arranging details with his principals. It will be remembered that he visited this district late last fall, and among several other properties looked over the Indian.

No Advertising Aecepted for First Page FUNERAL OF DE WET SHORTLY after the world war broke out Christian De Wet, one of the Boer chieftains in the South African conflict two decades ago, involved himself in a revolt against the British crown. The movement was independent in purpose of the operations against the South African union by the Germans of southwest Africa, but its effect nevertheless assisted the enemy. It was speedily crushed by the prompt counter measures initiated by General Botha and General Smuts, former companions-in-arms of the irreconcilable Boer leader against the British. Recently Christian De Wet was buried in Bloemfontein with state honors. Premier Smuts was one of the pallbearers. The governor-general, Prince Arthur of Connaught, was represented in the procession, while cabinet ministers, judges and influential people from every part of the union were in attendance. This remarkable tribute to De Wet was in perfect accord with the policy of toleration and conciliation which the British government under the leadership of Sir Henry Camp- bell-Bannerman, in 1905, adopted towards the former Boer repur��!'vb in spite of the strenuous but shortsighted opposition of the unionists under Mr. Balfour. The triumphant vindication of that policy in the recent great war is known to everyone; it is enough to observe that Generals Botha and Smuts were among the most trusted leaders of this empire's cause throughout the crisis. De Wet lacked their vision and appreciation of immense advantages the new dominion enjoyed as an autonomous part of the empire. He remained a Boer of the days of Oom Paul. His former foes overlooked his defects and thought only of his virtues���and there were many of them. It was another notable step in the reconciliation cf Briton and Boer begun by Sir Campbell-Bannerman seventeen years ago. GETTING WISE office who are "not subject to domination by invisible governments, or to the control, dictation and domination of political bosses." By "invisible governments," it is not made clear whether the Ku-Klux- Klan is a case in point or whether it refers to the mysterious influences that are supposed to reach out from the caverns of Wall Street and sway the judgment of servants of the people. But the very fact that a partA* of this kind should be instituted by women at this late age provides an indication that the feminine hand will soon begin to fall upon the shoulders of the politician who forgets his public duty. BRITISH SHIPPING ACCORDING to the latest official figures of the British board of trade there is recorded a fifty per cent increase in tonnage of ships cleared with cargoes at British ports in November, 1921, compared with tonnage cleared in January, 1921. The detailed returns are: Cargo ships cleared January, 2,617,226 tons; November, 3,943,- 799 tons. The improvement reflects greatly increased shipments abroad of British coal, which in the latter part of 1921 comprised about 80 per cent of the tonnage of British commodity exports. In January, 1921, coal exports amounted to Only 1,700,106 tons, while in November the tonnage exported was 3,593.864 tons. The speedy reaction of British shipping trade to interference with coal production is shown by a decrease in the tonnage of cargo ships cleared in May to 1,660,372 tons. The coal dispute was at its crisis in May and only l 14.000 tons of coal were exported during the month.' NOTE AND COMMENT The long green doesn't remain with the green long.

Nuf Ced Salmon River Trading CoV TIDEWATER MINE NOW REOPENING Shipping of Copper Concentrates Will Very Shortly Commence���About Seventy Men Employed The Tidewater Copper Company's property at Sidney Inlet, west coast of Vancouver Island, once more presents a scene of activity, the plant reopening after being shut down since December, 1920. The balance of a crew of seventy men arrived at the mine last week, lt ii the intention to ship, each month, from 300 to 350 tons of copper concentrates to the smelter at Tacoma. S. P. Silverman, president and manager of the Tidewater Copper company, has arrived at Sidney Inlet, from Mew York, and will superintend the recommencement of operations at the mine. While in Victoria Mr. Silverman stated to the Colonist that the company contemplated increasing the capacity of the flotation mill at the mine this summer and also doing considerable development work. He pointed out that the plant shut down near the close of 1920 owing to the fa^t that the low price of copper led the Tacoma smelter to refuse to take further concentrates. The market today was stronger, he said, and American producers were reopening and expected to be working at full capacity again in five or six months. Mining men, he continued, felt that the r NEWELL ROOMS W. L. NEWELL, Proprietor IComfortable Furnished Rooms. Barber Shop in Con- jnection- Cigars, Tobaccos, Soft Drinks.

If Europe could make satisfactory credit arrangements, which would make copper buying possible, copper prices wpuld rise as Europe today was drained of her supplies of the metal. The general price level at the present time was below actual cost of production and if the big copper concerns were going to resume the prices would have to go up to make it worth their while. A general feeling of optimism prevails in business circles of New York, said Mr. Silverman, and there appeared to be a general picking up showing in all directions. Touching on production costs at the Tidewater, the company president stated that these were lower than in the case of the large American producers. Contributing causes for this favorable state of affairs, said he, were a dry mine, requiring no pumping, ore that is easily broken, the use of tunneling, stoping and open quarrying, eliminating the sinking of shafts, a large recovery on mill heads, and the use of water power. The property of the Tidewater Copper company was acquired by its present owners in July, 1916. Previous to this several thousand tons of high gride ore had been shipped from the property by former owners, the Dewdney estate and the Tyee Smelting company. The new holders installed considerable new equipment on the property and did development work on it, at the same time shipping to the Tacoma smelter. The exploration work demonstrated the fact that there was considerable high grade ore, the greatest production from the mine would come from the bodies of low grade ore which were being developed. The present notation mill has a capacity from oOU to 400 tons. Since it was closed down considerable exploration and development work has been done, including 2500 feet of diamond drilling.
