Sam says there is an increasing interest in the Portland Canal mines on the outside, and there will be plenty of money avaslable for development purposes. Mr Fitzgerald says the Independence is financed for another year at least. He dosen't give a great deal of attention to stock quotations, preferring to do his Big Deal Goes Through On Gold Cliff Property 7f new discovey on the Bear rivf-r, immediately across the ridge ** from the big Premier mine, and about opposite the Dunwell, has been bonded by A. B. Trites, of Vancouver. The property contains a wide fissure vein of high-grade silver- lead ore assaying $267.40 per ton. that has been traced on the surface over 1200 feet in one direction from the discovery. Indications are that the vein is very wide, and apart from the persistent clean ore, carries a substantial body of good-grade concentrating Retiring board, and particularly ore. Hospital Meeting At the annual hospital meeting held in Moose hall last evening for the purpose of electing officers, the following were chosen as members of the board for the coming year: W. J.

Here, m the heart of the capital of France, the Bank of Montreal in 1919 established a subsidiary office in the Ri_ Hotel Building. In February, 1922, the business of this office had become so extensive that enlarged quarters were opened near by at No. 6 Place Vendome.

Granby Mine, Observatory Inlet, Copper-silver-gold property. Output since 1914 totals 223,481,461 pounds of copper, 2,610,857 ounces of silver and 51,141 ounces of gold. Ore in sight will keep mine operating for another 20 years, it is estimated. Belmont Surf Inlet mine, Princess Royal Island, Gold-silver-copper. Has produced since 1916 about 750,000 tons of ore, containing about 3,500,000 pounds of copper, 220,000 ounces of gold, and 125,000 ounces of silver. Nickle Plate mine, Hedley; Has produced gold valued at about $7,750,900 since 1904. Is equipped with stamp mill and cyanide plant. British Columbia minas are producing: Two-thirds of Canada's output of copper. Ninety per cent of its production of zinc. One-half of its total lead production. One-fifth of its gold and silver. About one-third of its total metal output And one-fifth of its production of coal. These are a few of the facts behind the mining industry of this Province: a few of the facts that indicate the remarkable future ahead of it. The Sullivan mine at Kimberley, about 14 miles from Cranbrook, has ore iu sight to keep it going for another 20 years. J. J. Warren, managing director of the Consolidated Mining and Smelting Company, owners of the mine, is authority for that statement. But the Sullivan is only one of the big dividend paying mines in British Columbia. The Premier mine, located in the Portland Canal mining district, is another property that has been paying huge dividends to its shareholders. Since its incorporation in 1919 the Premier Mining Company has overcome many obstacles but it has also reaped the rewards of foresight and confidence. This month it will pay its quarterly dividend of $400,- 000. It has already returned nearly ninety per cent of its capital stock in dividends What is more important still, ore in sight guarantees payment of at least 32 percent on its capital for another 15 years. Britannia mine on Howe Sound is the largest copper mine in the British Empire. Its history reads like a romance but its production has been as tangible as any other of the big mining properties. It has paid big dividends, but it has also reinvested huge sums in devtl- opment of its great railway and hydro-elettric system.

THAT PLACER EXCITEMENT 3! are about 400 teet high, and the creek hu faur larks. Captain Sid Harrington, commander of the Hazel B, who with his entire eraw left his boat Looks Like Grady Found and along with others travelled FOR Something, but Nothing To Warrant a Stampede At This Time When asked for a statement concerning the placer excitement i the Dease lake country Geo. Clothier, Resident Wining Engineer, informed the Newi that ha wired H. W. Dodd, Government Agent at Telegraph Creek for information concerning the strike, and received the reply that some gold had been found on a small creek, but so far not in sufficient quantity to cause any rush or excitement. In expressing an opinion of the district Mr Clothier added that the placer grounds of the Dease lake country offer very great promise, and will some day produce a great deal of gold. William Grady who, withH.L. Ford, discovered gold on a tributary of Eagle river, in the Cassiar district, British Columbia, and which is causing something of a stampede into that section, says concerning the strike: "There is coarse .gold there, and undoubtedly in considerable quantities. In all my mining experience I have never seen anything like it. I had no chance to determine the extent of our strike. I had nine dogs with me which I had to feed with food obtained with my rifle. I had to do my own cooking, and besides, I did not have proper tools. All I did was to scratch a little along the rim. It is from eight to ten feet to bedrock. The ground can be easily worked with pick and shovel, and drainage is easy. The place is only sixteen miles from a government trail and can be reached without difficulty. I know we have discovered something big���I wish I knew how big. I also wish the discovery had been made earlier in the set- son. However, I hope to be able to give out some news within a short time, that will be more definite and satisfactory." The foregoing statement appeared in the Wrangell Sentinel of September II, the day that the Stikene river boat Hazel B. No. 4 arrived from Telegraph Creek, bringing Mr Grady out to Wrangell to lay in an outfit of supplies, tools etc., and who, later advices say. is now enroute to the scene of the discovery. When Grady stepped ashore at Wrangell, the Sentinel article says, he was surrounded by a crowd eager to hear his story. He exhibited a poke containing several ounces of coarse gold, and told the people who had gathered to greet him that the discovery was made on Little Eagle creek, at a place about 12 miles east of Deaae lake. Gold was found on a section of the creek where it cuts through a red porphyry dyke. The banka a hundred miles or more to stake claims reached Wrangell pretty well tired out but extremely enthusiastic. He told the Sentinel that in his opinion the importance of the new discovery is not ever- estimated. Under date of September 12, Captain Barrington, of the Bar- rington Transportation Company, who had just reached Wrangell after his return from a hasty trip to Eagle creek, where he located a claim, wired his business associate, Captain F. G. Sterling, of Seattle, as follows: "Arrived back from creek. It looks very good. Jerry Galvin and crew of six men are going in. Also about eight men more of the local talent from here." Mr Galvin is a wellknown former Nome mining man, who is now concerned in a lode property near Wrangell. On September 16 a press report from Wrangell stated that Hugh R. Chilberg of Ketchikan f is heading a party composed of L. Gernantes, W. J. Harbke and Angus Morrison, en route to the new strike. This party is well equipped to remain throughout the winter if necessary. Mr Chilberg is a son of J. E. Chilberg, | the former Seattle banker and mining man. who is now operating the Saltchuck mine near Ketchikan. The party was organised at Saltchuck. The Hazel B. departed from Wrangell on a return trip to Telegraph Creek September 15. On board were some 20 men en route to the new diggings.

Its production will now amount to at least 30,000,000 pounds of copper annually. The Granby Consolidated Mining, Smelting and Power Company's mine at Anyox, Observatory Inlet, is another of the huge mining properties of British Columbia. Producing chiefly copper, it has also silver and gold. For years it has been one of the big dividend-paying, producing mines, and deposits in sight insure its continuance on the same i basis for many years to come. Gold values are the chief ehar- acteristic of the profit-paying Belmont-Surf Inlet mine, owned by the company of the same name. It has plenty of ore in Local Stocks In the midst of a continued dull market, local stocks have remained, to an extent, inactive during the week. There has, however, been a certain amount of trading in Dunwell, Glacier Creek and Porter Idaho, and it is anticipated that as soon as the fall slackness that commenced with what appears to have been a determined bear movement is over, these three stocks will prove strong favorites. |B.

The Nickel Plate mine at Hedley is another profitable venture. It has rewarded its backers and with its present very modern stamp mill and cyanide plant promises to be a big producer for some time to come. But these are only a few of the mines in British Columbia producing on a paying basis. There are others, maybe not large, but returning dividends in proportion to their invested capital. They are all proof of the fact that the day of hit-or-miss flotation of mining companies has passed: that British Columbia is Canada's great mineral-producing Province, and that it will assume greater importance in that connection still, as the huge mineral wealth known to exist in nearly every section of British Columbia comes under development.���Exchange.
