Among Large Mining Corporations Interested in Vicinity is American smelting and Refining Company, Getting Ready to ship Ore from Dolly Varden Many Properties Bonded in Last Few Weeks. WITH the completion of the Taylor railroad to the Dolly Varden mine in the Alice Arm Isection, that part of the Portland Canal district ie humming wiih renewed activity. The Taylor Engineering Co. is to operate the mine under certain conditions imposed by the legislature till the money owing by the owners is taken out of it. The B. C. legislature established quite a precedent in reaching such a decisisn, and the mine will stand up to it for no doubt it can "pay" many times the amount of the Taylor bill and then some. The Taylor people are now building a tram to the mine and as soon as this is completed it is probable ore shipments will commence. The mine is come eighteen miles from the beach. Its rich ore bodies have been determined by diamond drill. All through the section are many good showings on which development is beyond the prospect stage. The fact that the American Smelting and Refining Co. has bonded properties in the di.-trict indicates that the section has passed Al inspection by engineers. By reason of the activity in this section, a review of the work done when i ieorge Clothier, resident engineer for the Depa.tment of Mines, is interesting at this time.

The surface shows 0 inches of ore assaying 1 To ounces silver and 2'< p ����� cent, lead. Farther up the hill from the Silver ?tar the Silver Clin* group shows some cropping* of ore. but little work has been done. The Silver Bell claim, on the south dope of McGrath Mountain, has a 16- foot vein of a dark dloritic appearing bunches and stringers Of quartz carrying pvritesi arsenical pyrites and some zinc and galena.

The Kent and Maple I>eaf claims each had a little work done, showing, the characteristic banded quartz and -late veins of the McGrath Mountain area. Kitsault River Section. This section was in a fair way to become an important factor in the mining Industry of the province. The railroad from the beach to the Dolly Varden, partially constructed last vear, was practically rebuilt and near- .ng completion when the contracting company went Into liquidation, with the result that the camp of Alice Arm .ind the section tributary to it were tied up for the winter. The Dolly Varden Mines Company iwns tlie Dolly Varden property, about eighteen miles from tidewater on the west Lank of the Kitsault River, and the Wolf property, two miles farther ill on the east bank of the Kitsault. The Dolly Varden has been extensively ��� ipened up by underground development and is therefore in condition to start shipping at any time. The ore bodies have been proven by thousands of leet of diamond drilling. On ihe Wolf a tunnel 85 fet long has been triven 'n on the ore body, from the iace of which a crosscut to tlie north 'ii feet and to the south 10 feet proves he ore body for a width of 6u feet, with neither wall in sight. Several thousand feet of diamond drilling has been dune, proving the extent of the ,ire body and showing it to be of a good milling grade. The Black Hear group, the old Roundy property, owned by Salinas mil others, shipped 13 ions of ore ol :i'is,. value of J-,712 in sliver. The Independent group.

In pioneering the way in the Salmon River section the Premier company is going to great expense ^and it is understood the plans 'or getting tie ore out are elaborate. The wagon road alone is reported to cost approximately $100,000, and considerable money was also spent in constructi n of the wharf at Hyder over which last winter's ore shipments were handled.

The quartz is heavily pyritized, and in general, so far as exposed on the surface, is low grade: however, recent work on the upper portion of the vein has disclosed some very high-grade silver ore of argentite, ruby-silver, and native silver, and '.urther exploration may prove the ex istence of high-grade shoots In vein.

Martin is believed to have been injured the I when the long boom stick he was putting in place knocked him off his feet. A brother at Swamp Point has been sent for. Martin owned considerable property in Stewart and his residence is one of the best buildings in the camp. During the past two years he had put in much of his time looking after the roadbeii of the Canadian Northeastern Railway. He had improvised some rolling stock and rigged a push car with a gas line engine and with this strange railroad equipment he hauled passengers a d freight up the valley. Martin was quiet and industrious and he community lost a solid citizen when he met his death. be firstclass when snow is on it and will make comparatively easy the work of getting in the heavy machinery this winter. When the Provincial Government has continued the Premier road up the valley as a temporary sleigh road this winter, the cost of obtaining supplies at such mines as the Joker, Forty Nine and Big Missouri will be considerably reduced. Expenses of opening up the Salmon River section have been unusually heavy by reason of the lack of transportation facilities. But the operators have held courageously to their work and the ore bodies disclosed prove they were justified. Several properties may make trial shipments this winter.
