Nothing known here in Stewart who tne purchasers are, but according to report from Vancouver they are supposed to be the Guggenheims. For the purposes of the deal, the property was valued at $300,- 000, and the consideration involved exceeded $100,000. This was for the one-third interest, owned by Grant Mahood and O. B. Bush. The Seluqui Gold Fields Limited, of South Africa, represented on this coast by C. A. Bank?, still own, so far as can be ascertained, a one-third interest, with an option on another third, Before leaving for the east Pat entered into a new agreement with the original owners, Charles Knipple, Dan Davis and William McGrew, which involves the organization of a stock company, with provision made for the present owners to retain a nominal control, besides receiving substantial cash returns. The time given extends over a period of two years, which is considered hy Pat as sufficient, considering the size and value of the ore exposures, to make a satisfactory deal. .STEWART LOCAL NEWS.

Construction, it is understood, is to commence According to an estimate compiled by an independent and authoritative source, the Premier mine shipped approximately one million ounces of silver, and twenty-five ounces of gold during 1921. This is a phenominal record, in view of the fact that all this ore had to be hauled 17 miks over a very bad wagon road, and the mill was not working till late in the year. It is understood that a dividend has already been declared. rather embarrassing. The Citizens' Association executive met on Monday evening and discussed correspondence from the Prince Rupert board of trade. Space not permitting, a full report of the proceedings will be published next week. Dr. and Mrs. Bayfield spent last Sunday in town, staying at the Hotel King Edward. The doctor is in charge of the hospital at the Premier mine, and received a message from Dr. Chace, 8 o'clock Saturday night, to come down in connection with a patient at the hospital. He left the mine immediately, and was in Stewart at 3 o'clock in the morning. Jake Hawkinson has added a LET CONTRACT TO HAUL ORE Silverado to Start Regular Shipments���Outside Development Is Completed. Tram Line Works Well Exceptionally satisfactory progress is being made on the Silverado. The tram recently completed was tried out for the first time on Monday last, is now in good condition and ready for use. The Hyder Transfer company have been awarded the contract for rawhiding the ore down the hill from the lower terminal of the tram and delivering it for shipment at the dock. Twenty tons are already sacked at the portal of the tunnel awaiting shipment. On Wednesday a crew of men were put on to build a snow trail from town up to the lower terminal which, it is estimated, will take some four or five days, as there is considerable shoveling to be done on the steep parts of the hill, and particularly on the switch backs. As soon as this work is complete the Hyder Transfer Co. will commence moving the ore through town. Now that the outside development program, started last fall, window counter in the Exchange | has been completed, active min- grill, where Stewart busy shoppers may note from day to day a fine display of tender steaks, and juicy chops and roasts, and home made head cheese and sausage just like grandmother used to make; also-three tim^s a week a display of bread, cakes, pie. and the large doughnut with the small hole.

No Advertising Aecepted for First Pag/* TRAIL SYSTEM THERE is nothing more urgently required in this northern section of British Columbia as roads, trails and bridges, the trails being so located as to be gradually converted into wagon roads. While this fact holds good all over the north, it is particularly accentuated in the Atlin district, for here are located vast natural resources, such as mineral, coal, agricultural lands, and timber, only awaiting the hand of man. It is safe to say that no other section of the province, or for the matter of that, Canada, contains so much natural wealth crowded into so small a space, and at the same time so easy of access, being, as it is, close to the sea, thereby doing away with the necessity of building hundreds of miles of railway in order to develop it. What is required, above all else in this district, is a comprehensive and systematic policy in connection with trails and roads, etc. The province is very heavily in debt at the moment, and nothing will help to re- relieve this burden so quickly as the development of the unlimited natural resources of the north. No where in it does such an opportunity present itself as right here in Atlin. A trunk trail from Stewart to Mezi- adin lake; at which point it would divide, one branch running south to Alice Arm, and the other around Bowser lake, up the north fork of the Naas, and join the Yukon telegraph trail at Naas river cabin, a distance of some 80 or 90 miles. Such a system of trails would give access to what may yet prove the greatest mineral belt on the continent, and allow of a start being made on its proper development. It would, at the same time, tend to open up the arable lands of the Naas. And last, but not least, it would supply a much needed winter road to Telegraph creek, which would be a shorter and safer outlet for the whole upper Stikine and Dease lake countries, thereby possibly assisting in their development. A little vision, a little system, and a little action, and Atlin will answer the unemployed problem for the government. air and southern press with political rumors and innumerable prophecies of an early election. For the past several weeks the atmosphere has been pregnant with possibilities, but through all this political hub bub the premier until recently has remained silent. It was a relief to many when he stated the other day that the government did not anticipate the holding of a general election this year, and would fill the vacancies by a series of bye elections. In this the government are wise, for it will enable them to bring down at the next session a Redistribution Bill, which can be put into effect when necessity arises. To hold an election before this is done would be a crime against the north that would be hard to live down, for the north has suffered too long through its small representation in the house. Any party or individuals who would attempt to force an election before a redistribution bill is put on the statute books, would deserve the condemnation of every voter north of the C. P.

PRODUCTION DURING LAST TEN YEARS, $331,995,328 Lode mining has only been in progress for about 33 years, and not 20 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.

Air-And his breath came in short pants Knickerbockers will be the style for old men, young men, and younger young men during 1922.���Fashion Note in Vancouver Paper. An idea somewhat eccentric has struck the world's swells, Which they deem will raise them in the eyes of certain belles, And if the fad ever strikes this northern belt, 'Twill be the blow that killed dad, from sassiety dealt. Great Scott! 'Twill be funny when Gibson and Siem you see, With brief and boyish pantlets reaching scare below the knee; And Knipple and Bill Crawford, won't they cut a blast When they parade the streets with pants at half mast. Bill Tolin and George Fraser, right on the main street, Wearing white trousers--well, a full yard above their feet. And Archie Patterson, donned in the latest geer, Walking up and down the avenues like a London peer. There are others, too, who would look like a copper cent, When they don these knee breeches, and go on pleasure bent; And if this fad appears, it will put Stewart on the bum, And drive the very best of us to drown ourselves in rum. ���PsaLMUEL Wriley, the Bear River Bard. JUST A FEW WANTS Fort George wants a paper mill. Victoria wants more industries. Vancouver wants work for unemployed. Hyder wants the payroll of British Columbia mines. New Westminster wants a big run of salmon on the Fraser. Prince Rupert wants to be the capital of a new northern province. Stewart don't want anything. It has the goods behind it.

Baths THE BOOTLEGGERS By Walt Mason On furtive feet along the street in darkness they are going; from stew and slum they bring the rum that keeps the boneyard growing. They make their rye of poisoned lye, of rough on rats their brandy, and he who drinks is wise, methinks, to keep a coffin hardy. They fill their vats with old dead cats when they would make their mashes; and one small drink will put a gink in line for dust and ashes. They make their ^in of rusted tin and upas leaves and granite, and he who sips curls up and skips from this our, well known planet. They make their booze from cast-off shoes j brought in by vampires ghostly, and he who quaffs finds epitaph-*! the goods he's needing mostly. Ah, when you swig a bumper big of bootleg rye or bourbon, your works will split, you'll throw a fit no doc can put a curb on. You'll bite the chairs and fall down stairs and start a roughhouse gaudy, and when you're through tht crowner true will sit upon your body. Few, few escape the shroiu and crape who drink the bootleg mixture, and with a spade men's beds are made where headstones area fixture. The bootleg knave* are peddling graves, they're selling bottled slaughter; on, then, with me drink boneset tea, and pop, and milk, and water! Hotel Hyder HYDER, ALASKA M. R. JAMIESON, Prop.
