DEEP ���unwell Mine Continues Giving Sensational Ore, Grow ing Richer as Depth Is Attained [Some of the most spectacular Itrh-grade ore yet developed in Dunwell mine, was brought town yesterday, consisting of iveral hundred pounds of ore lowing native silver and silver Iphides. This ore was from Icrosscut in the face of the ��rth drift. The vein is eight let in width and is practically Igh-Rrade from wall to wall. |As this drift has been driven Irthward additional depth on le vein has been gained, and le face of the drift has now [ached a depth of 700 feet on le dip of the vein. |The length of this ore shoot is iw 548 feet with high-grade |e throughout the entire dis- ince. |The$8and$10 assays given it week applied to the low- lade west veins, through which |e No. 4 tunnel will pass before Etching the high-grade vein Iw under development. lOOD WORK ON THE RUFUS PORTER IDAHO SHIPPING ORE Three Hundred Tons High- Grades Started Coming Down the Hill Bound for The Smelter The trail up the north fork of the Marmot, and to the Porter Idaho property, was completed last week, and in keeping with the aggressive policy adopted in all things by the management high-grade ore is now being packed down the hill and accumulated at thi beach for shipment. Seventy-five to eighty tons of ore averaging arouiid $200 per ton has been extracted, sorted: and sacked at the mine, await-j ing transportation, giving the pack train a good supply to start with and eliminating any delay. Similar ore is being mined in the upper and lower tunnels as CONTRACT ON INDEPENDENCE Crew of Miners Familiar With Property Take 200 Feet On Stock Sharing Agreement The development program at the Independence was somewhat less a little more speed is shown, the B<-ar river road will possibly be four changed this week, the manage Progress facilitated A portion of the wagon road just beyond the railway crossing south of Bitter creek washed out during the early part of the week. A crew of men was sent out by the Government and cut a road around through the bush, but as the water ia still cutting heavily into the bank, it is predicted that with continued high water this also will Soon be taken out. With Bitter creek cutting into its south bank as it now is, with only medium high water, there appears to be every possibility that before snow flies, it will swing south at the point of the present washout, and come down along the east side of the railway track to a point somewhere close to Gibson's cabin. If this happens the main Bear river wagon road will be shortened by fully another four miles this season, and a wagon or motor truck will be able to go only some seven miles up the valley, where four years ago it could go 14 or 15. ��� The Government has had under consideration for nearly a year a cut-off road from the north end of Ward's Pars to the Bitter creek bridge. Un- miles shorter before the end of this year. Thus is progress facilitated. .ment having let the next 200 'feet of underground work by (contract instead of proceeding by day work as before.

No Advertising Aecepted for Firat Page ENCOURAGING DEVELOPMENT LAST WEEK, on the front page of thie publication, we drew attention to the fact that each year, during the past four years, the main Bear Rirer Wagon Road has become shorter at the rate of approximately one mUe per year. Since then, by the wash-out on the road just beyond the railway crossing south of Bitter Creek, an additional two miles of so-called road has been rendered useless as such. Thus a total of approximately 6 miles of road out of some 14 or 15 miles, has, through sheer neglect, been allowed to deteriorate into, at least in spots, a poor pack trail. There are four mining companies operating above what is now the end of the road, in addition to considerable development and assessment work on numbers of other properties. Beyond what is now the end of the road is a vast mineralized area that offers very great promise. Everything that has happened to this /road was recognized as inevitable by t_o#e who kept in touch, and each situation as it cropped up was reported. A delegation of mining interests in the upper valley waited on the Minister of Mines at Victoria early in the season, and pointed out the situation to him, and received a promise that the road would be put into condition as soon as the weather conditions permitted. The Minister also gave the same definite promise to organizations in the town. Weather conditions have been favorable since early in June. Since then two miles more of the road has been rendered useless except as a pack trail. Mr. Kergin, the local member, has done exceptionally well for the district in the matter of appropriations that each year he has succeeded in obtaining, and while it is possible that still more money is required, yet it is also possible that the fault may lie elsewhere. Not having detailed facts on which to base an opinion, we do not propose to say where or what the trouble is, but results always speak louder than words, and judging from results in this instance, it appears to be perfectly clear that there is something radically wrong somewhere. The loss of approximately 6 miles of main road out of a total of 14 or 15 miles, in four years, in a rapidly developing district such as this, is an unparalleled condition anywhere in Western Canada.

ASSURING A FUTURE While Stewart these days may appear quiet to the ordinary observer, and as far as the town itself is concerned is quiet, this is a very good sign to the one who studies the whole situation. No mining camp can ever be put on the map by people staying in town. Men must take to, and stay in, the hills, prospect, do assessment and development work, and generally dig into the mineral possibilities that present themselves. This is exactly the situation here today. Almost every corner of the district is being investigated, and just in the proportion that this is done, will be the proportion of progress.
