the Burveys for an aerial tramline, to be built  in   the  spring.
This tram will be from a mile to
a mile and a quarter in length,
and will run from the mine down
to the Salmon river wagon road.
In addition to this it is the intention to also build in the Bpring a
"concentrating plant capable  of
hand ing 100 tons of ore per day.
Plans and specifications for this
plant  will  be  out   during  the
coming winter, thereby avoiding
delay in the spring. There being
ample water power on the ground
no  difficulty  is   anticipated  in
placing it right at the mine.

PREMIER   DIVIDEND
According to authoritative advices received by the
Portland Canal News, this week from New York, the
Premier Gold Mining Company declared on September
20 a 15 per cent dividend, for distribution on September
30, amounting to $750,000.
This dividend makes the fourth since the tramway was
put in operation, December last, and brings the total distribution for the year up to the enormous sum of $2,400,000.
It is believed that this is a record for any mining company in existence, particularly in view of the fact that
the company are still spending considerable in the way
of improvements to their plant.

Harry Tanner, superintendent

of high grade ore  has  recently

This  strike  is  about 1500 feet

overburden was at the time of

Increase Wages
According to a report current
in   Prince   Rupert the   Granby
ore, 10 of which are thus far exposed: and samples taken from
these gave assay returns of 4.48
ounces in gold, and 26.9 ounces
in silver,   or  a  total value of
$110. 50 per ton.   The vein  filling  between   these high grade
shoots is of lower grade,   but an
excellent   milling   product,   assaying    about    $30    per    ton.
Further exploration of this ore
body is being prosecuted,  and  a
considerable   force   of   men are
engaged in stripping off the over-*
burden, with a   view   to   ascertaining    its   value.    A   tunnel

FREE   STATE   AFFAIRS
NO   HOLY   WAR
THE Cosgrave ministry in the Irish
Free State is going on its way witq confidence and determination. Republican
members of the Dail, who are not in arms
against the government, would be free to
attend, but with one or two exceptions,
they remain absent, leaving the opposition
to Labor representatives, most of whom
are supporters of the Free State constitution, though they have their own social
program. The military operations continue, and there is a daily destruction of
property by the raiders, who have a malicious desire to burn and blow up houses,
though the destruction can serve no military or political purpose. The report that
De Valera has grown tired of this nseless
and destructive warfare, and is willing to
negotiate, may have a basis of fact. But
there is little ground for nagotiation ex
cept on the matter of personal safety.
NATIONALIST Turkey talks of a holy
war, but there is no question of race or
creed in the British effort to confine the
struggle to Asia. Nor is it necessary that
this attempt to keep the peace in Europe
should be construed into support of Greece.
Great Britain is under no obligation to the
Greeks of the existing regime. She has
the same reason as France to be neutral
as between Turkey and Greece.
Great Britain has not taken ground
against the Mohammedans in any part of
the world. Britain freed the Mohammedans of Egypt from the last remains of
Turkish sovereignty, which Egypt had for
a century tried to escape. Britain sup- THE two great parties in the world

OUR   BILL    ON    BERLIN
<t*t ������
WE are informed from London that
good progress haa been made in negotiations for settlement of Germany's indebtedness to this country. Equally solemn is
the suggestion that the main point to be
tiispttseejl of is whether Canuda will grant
time for payment-*. Our understanding of
the position of tbe debtor coudtry is that
the last thing she ia likely to do is to pay
her bills. Of course it is comforting from
a bookkeeping point of view to learn that
there to a prospect of settlement. But
w hat will happen if Canada does not choose
all as it has gone on in Russia, but slowly and
without bloodshed (except in Ireland) and without
upsetting unduly the* economic apparatus by means
of which the British Isles have contrived to support a population of 40,000,000. The redistribution is contrived by taxation and iB plainly coming
to pass, and the people affected are adjusting
themselves to new conditions of life with as little
fuss as possible. ��� E. flartin in Harper's Magazine.

cause of the common people is assassination.

Mining Outlook
Very Promising
Present conditions in New
York and other eastern financial
centers warrant the belief there
will be a noted revival in mining
interest during the next few
months. As a matter of fact,
the activity woald have been pronounced by this time but for the
deterrent factors presented by
the railroad and coal strikes.
Money is easy, most metals are
at satisfactory price levels and
actual development in almost
every direction gives indisputable
evidence of good results.
A noticeable feature of the
situation is the decided inclination of big houi.es to dip into the
mining promotion business on a
large scale-. There is an insistent demand for good properties,
particularly those yielding gold
and lead. Copper is temporarily
in a condition of suspended animation, but even in that direction quiet preparatioas are being
made to meet public demand
looked for when Europe once
more becomes a big factor on
the buying side.
estimated amount of 15,000,000
cubic yards of dredgeable gravels
in Keithley Delta. Teste show
good values. The dredge will
have 7 cubic feet buckets, and
cost about $500,000. It is being
constructed in Vancouver.
Increase Sought
Butte miners are asking an increase of $1.25 per day in the
wage scale, the abolition of the
contract system and the rustling
card.
British Columbia is the leading
producer of copper in Canada.

Lode Gold, $105,557,977; Silver. $55,259,485; Lead. $48,330,575:

1921 show
AN AGGREGATE VALUE OF $734,259,619
The substantial progress of the Mining Industry in this Province
is strikingly exhibited in the following figures, which show the value
of production for successive five-year periods: For all years lo 1885,
inclusive, $94,547,241; for five years, 1896-1900, $57,607,967; for

PRODUCTION DURING LAST TEN YEARS, $336,562,897
Lode mining has only been in progress for about 33 years, and
not 10 per cent, of the Province has been even prospected; 300,000
square miles of unexplored mineral-bearing land are open for prospecting.
The mining laws of this Province are more liberal and the fees
lower than those of any other Province in the Dominion, or any
Colony in the British Empire.
Mineral locations are granted to discoverers for nominal fees.
Absolute Titles are obtained by developing such properties, security of which is guaranteed by Crown Grants.
