No Advertising Aecepted for First Pas*e THE PREMIER THE SECOND annual report of the Premier Gold Mining Co., most of which appears in this issue, makes most interesting reading, particularly in view of the fact that ail the figures and other data given in it, are based on actual and proven facts. In this regard it is safe to say that the report is as conservatiue as it is possible to make it, and that everything savoring at all of speculation has been eliminated. As the report is published in this issue The headlines in last week's issue of the Portland Canal News concerning the Granby Company releasing the George Copper property, created considerable interesting discussion. Certain interests have taken the view that too great stress had been laid on the matter of the condition of the Bear River Road. In other words these interests defended the Government policy of not building a wagon road,���one was built years ago up Bear river but allowed to deteriorate into a poor trail during war years���until such time as a mining company proves that it is going ahead with heavy operations. From a practical standpoint, in the development of a new country, there oan, in every case be no justification for this policy, ln the first place, it handicaps the prospector, who already has heavy obstacles to overcome, by making heavy transportation costs which for one who, in his position, is working on short capital, earned by hard labor during the winter, is a difficulty that when and wherever possible, should be eliminated. In the second place, it will take more than two years to put the upper end of the Bear River road in condition that will allow heavy freight to be hauled over it. This being the case the Granby, in the event of having retained the property in question, would have had to spend large sums of money on either the road itself or contend with prohibitive transportation costs, j Of course, they could at all times adopt the alter-, native of waiting until such time as the Govern-!

Another striking point is the comparatively small area to which operations have been confined, and the fact that ore bodies of great value have been discovered by diamond drilling below the horizon from which ore has been, and is Which is preferable���the saving of your eyesight, or the saving of a few dollars Discard that glaring gas lamp and purchase light from Stewart Public Utilities Ltd.

In answering this question the reader must remember that so far as the operating companies are concerned, they car just as easily take tip a property in Northern Ontario, The States, .Mexico, South America, Africa, or many other parts of the world where, in many cases, first class roads are already constructed to the properties.

This work has, therefore, not as yet reached its objective. A drift was drivsn southward from No. 4 tunnel level to explore at depth the outcrops on the Cascade Falls No. 8, and more particularly upon the Pie- tou claim. Some ore bands of small value were cut at about where the Cascade Falls No. 8 outcrops might be expected at depth, which bands have not as yet been driven upon to see whether they are of interest, and at the end of the year the drift, which had reached a distance of approximately 1400 ft., was cutting some silicified material with streaks of values below commercial grade, upon one of which a drift will be started to see whether commercial ore occurs along the strike, as that is about in the position that would be represented at depth by the Pictou surface outcrops. Considerable exploratory work, both by drifts and diamond drilling, will bei done in that vicinity during this year, in order to see what, if any, ore may be thereby disclosed.
