Aftar reading ol min- utea of the pr< io On April 22 to May 15, 1915, was fought one of the greatest battles in the annals of British history. The second battle of Ypres, when-in the First Cana- adian Division, C. E. F., ��� mblazontd the name of Canada upon the walls of fame, by holding tbe nitst line, against overwhelming odds, until Bueh time as sufficiept Imperials, many of whim were rushed up straight from the traneports that had brought them from England, pitched headlong into the hell of gas, shell, and rifle fire that raged for days in front of Ypres. Seven years ago today, as the long lists of names of those who were killed, and the horrors of the uas ticked over the wiies spreading, as it were, a blanket of gloom from the Atlantic to the Pacific, Canada for the first time felt the real 'shock of war. A writer in the Trail News says of the battle : Imskrman long know i aa a "soldier's battle" - i eed be no longer quoted us the best example of what simple soldier men may do when leadership bj those appointed to that task has in cone almost impossible.

S. P. Fitzgerald came down from the Independence group, Bear river, Wednesday, and reports that work on the property, owned by himself and brother, is progressing very well indeed, and to use Jack's description, the work done since they went up makes the property "look like a 'windjammer' with full ! sail set. clearing out of the fog- she is all there." Fitzgerald had some nice looking samples, taken | from some new work done on zone No. 1. Stewart Wins Mining operations have started on the Marmot this week; several people having already left for their properties, and others preparing to do so. All those having property in that section are very hopeful of the coming year, as word has come from the south recently to the effect that the department of mines has promised to build during the coming summer the long looked for wagon read from the beach up to tbe fortes. Such a road will be of great benefit to the whole district as it will give tremendous impetus to the mining industry in that section, where there are a number of verv promising properties, the development of which cannot but be reflected throughout the entire district. Clay Porter and George Mehlfeld left for the Marmot on Wednesday, and will commence taking in their summer's supplies. It is their intention to do considerable work on th^ir property this season and to. if possihlp, make a few shipments of high j grade orp. H. C.

Another expert will deal with existing and prospective traffic possibilities, and submit his report. With this information��� collected without regard for political considerations of any kind���the legislature should be in a position to determine what shall be the policy of the future.

VERY HARD COFFEES ... GROCERIES Best Value in the North. Most Obliging Staff Our Middle Name: The First to Reduce High Cost of Living Salmon River Trading Co'v The Horn Silver mine in Moti-I tana was discovered by two men running a race. These men were working in a silver mine, and the trail that led up from the bunk- house to the mine was a switchback trail. One day two men started a race, when the whistle blew at noon, to see who 'would reach the bunkhouse first. One fellow took a short cut, leaving the trail and going down the hill in great leaps. In one of his wild jumps his feet started a small slide of earth and uncovered a small vein of silver ore. This find was off the company's ground, and the man located the ground for himself, worked for a time, then sold out to his previous employer for a large sum.

Fresh Milk and Dairy Produce It is not often that a bear figures in the discovery of a mine, but suoh was the case once in the Kootenay. Two young Englishmen, prospecting on a creek one summer, ran into an old black bear with cubs. The old bear made quite a fuss and one of the Englishmen beat it down the hill, and the other sprang into a small tree overhanging the side of the creek bank. The bear went on about her business, but the weight of the Englishman in the tree bent it down so that it was torn out by the roots, letting him drop into the brush. The uprooting of this tree uncovered a valuable vein of galena. This mine was afterwards known as the "Black Bear." and was sold for several thousand dollars to Spokane interest?.

Ciin-di-n Steam laundry A brief for the establishment of an iron and steel industry in 1 the Prince Rupert section was presented in a comprehensive report submitted to the board of trade at its last meeting in that Lity by Alfred Garde, mining engineer. The report was prepared especially by the board and is a most interesting document, well calculated to interest capitalists in the establishment of an iron and steel industry in the Rupert district. Mr. Garde shows that high grade magnetite and hematite iron ores are plentiful, that there are large areas of bituminous coking coal nearby, that there are pure limestones ar.d other fluxes in abundance, that fire clay and hydro-magnesite occur STEWART PHARMACY QBOBQ1 V KKASKK Proprietor in large quantities and that other materials are easily obtainable. He deals with location, transportation, climatic conditions, ami closes with the sentence: "It is the writer's opinion and firm conviction that iron, now the most neglected and at the same time the most abundant of metals i of this north country, will soon command the attention it justly deserves." Some Rock Seventy-five per cent of British Columbia is rock and we must look to that rock for our future existence. If the minerals are not found, the future has an ugly outlook for us. Our condition here is no worse than in other parts of the continent. Nearly all the c ipper mines have been closed down owing to the surplus amount of the metal on the market due to world wide conditions and use of substitutes for domestic purposes. Hvder Transfer Co.

SPRING FEVER I want to plant a garden now that Spring is here, I want to watch the carrots and little beets appear; I want to gather radishes and salad lettuce, too. And invite my envious neighbors to come and pick some, too. I crave some Golden Bantam, like in the wondrous book Sent out by florists every year���how good the green things look! I want to raise cucumbers, and Hubbard squash and beans, And cabbages and Brussels sprouts and canteloupes and greens, And young green peas and eggplants and succulent Swiss chard, And pumpkin'vines, with golden flowers to trail around the yard; I want to plant a garden, now that Spring is here! And I might do it, too, if I hadn't tried last year. OCEAN VIEW HOTEL HYDER, B. C.
