STEWART, BRITISH COLUMBIA, FRIDAY, JULY 20, 1923 $5 TIIE YEAR AS TEN FEET OF SOLID ORE Dunwell Mine Has Finest Mineral Showing in the District ��� Are Planning Heavy Operations. Latest word from the Dunwell mine, received Wednesday evening, was to the effect that the hanging wall of the vein in No. 2 vein had apparently beer, encountered after 70 feet of vein matter had been passed through, including a numberof ore shoots uf good milling grade, while the last twelve feet of the tunnel have been in solid galena and iron pyrites. Allowing for the fact that tha vein waa encountered at a slight angle, this body of solid ore will be about ten feet in width. Locally, the greatest interest is being taken in the development of thia property, partly because it lies practically at Stewart's back door, and partly because of the fact that its success will attract to other properties of the Bear river section the capital that has been denied them in the past, and to which the vastness and assay value of their surface showings entitles them. Particular interest also attaches to the Dunwell because of its being a local company, practical! of the funds being subscribed in Victoria. A pleasing feature is that financially the company has ample backing to carry out their development and equipment programs in every detail. Tlie company have taken over the compressor plant of the old Portland Canal company and li ive overhauled and put the c inipraatoe in shape. The flume pany in their present undertaking, and will predominate their future plans insofar bb it is compatible with the accomplishment of maximum results. The management are announcing no plans beyond the development of their ore bodies at a depth which will give them tonnage to warrant the construction of a reduction plant, which they figure will take anywhere from six months to one year. Meanwhile they will have 14 or 15 men steadily employed, STEWART-HYDER LOCAL NEWS J. K. Green ef Hyder left Saturday for a business trip to Seattle.. A.

FIRE FIEND FLAYS^ ANYOX Bush Fire Sweeps Into Town and Does Damage to Extent of $200,000���Powder Magazine Explodes. Early this week the mining and smelting town of Anyox experienced the most disastrous fire of its history, damage to the extent of $200,000 being done to the town and surface equipment. The fire originated in the timber surrounding the town, and required the utmost efforts of every available man to check it. A church and three residences ware burned as well as a large portion of the trestle work between the mine and smelter, and one of the powder magazines, with seven carloads of dynamite, exploded. The women and children of the town were taken by ships to points of safety down the canal, and a pleasing feature about the catastrophe is that it resulted in no loss of life or serious bodily injury. which supplies the water power] Machinery for Prince John fir its operation is being repaired, and a shipment of air pipe should arrive within the The rumor circulated by the fireside brigade during the week that the Prince John bad been next two weeks, when three j c)o8e(j _0wn indulinitely is with- drillBwIll be put in operation, L^ foundation.

GAROLAN'S GENERAL STORE EVERTHING GOOD IN MEN'S WEAR J* . * MINING SUPPLIES POWDER, CAPS, FUSE HARDWARE. Etc., Etc. PROFESSIONAL JUST WHAT WE MAKE IT. ____o w **^ �� THE wink of the eye, the whisper back of the palm of the hand, the furtive shrug of the shoulders, the uprolled eyes are signs ofthe professional gossip. These are the tricks of the trade, and all are designed to carry the inference that the bearer has tapped hidden but reliable information which, as a special favor to the recipient, is passed on for his private benefit. Bunk-house gossip is the source of messy news about the mining industry, and individual mines in particular. Certain types of men snoop around the bunk house and gather it and spread it along in devious ways. Bunk house gossip is as old as mining. Sometimes there is a trace of truth in it; more often it is a libel against the mine or the men who are back of the mine. It is frequently used in stock- market manipulation as the source of tips which have for their purpose the undermining of confidence in a project or cloaking of a dubious project with the earmarks of merit. Bunk house gossip does harm to the mining industry. It would harm any industry or any individual who is a party to it or who may be the victim of it. The corrective for it is the opening up of the avenues to truthful information. By a liberal policy mining companies can render it innocuous. Reports should be given to the public at frequent intervals, and these should be accurate and candid. Annual reports that merely contain a statement of assets and liabilities are insufficient. Monthly and quarterly reports should be at least made available for publication. Companies privately owned and operated suffer from bunk house gosaip, as well as those whose locks are bought and sold in the stock markets. They should not put obstacle* in the path uf those who seek to make public the details of mining operations. Their contention is that such matter is their own private information. Some of , it Is, no doubt, but they frequently overlook the fact tfcat the wining eommunity which grow* up about their mine is vitally interested in its development.. It may be proper to withhold certain information for private advantage, but there i�� much other information that could and should lind expression in the publicity channels. Withholding it merely means that it will get out in garbled faahiiii md usually i��> SOME people get tired of this life and just fall asleep, while others hurry the end along with the use of pistol, knife or a bit of poison. But it's a good old world after all, and it uses the most of us as we use it ���in short, this life is just what we make it. Most people are satisfied with a fighting * chance, while others are satisfied with a chance of fighting. Home Rule for Stewart. Lame ducks" always bring up in the rear.
