The year was one of earnest and Vk-\ telligent effort to show up ore boclies, \ More explosives were u��ed than iu the five- year period previous, and results havej been most encouraging. Tbe foundation I is laid for building a structure oi mine�� here that will astonish the wirto. It would not be true to say that a start has only just been made; the five years past since the renewal of interest in the district, have been constructive years, in the sense that digging for the foundation of a sky-scraper is a part of the construction work, although it does not appeal to the eye nor to the imagination to the same extent as does the superstructure. It is safe to say that some of thc properties upon which preliminary work has been done, will this year take their place in the ranks of producing mines, while many will, before the curtain is rung down on 1925, reach the position now occupied by the others. A tiny snowball starts rolling from the top of a mountain, gathering more snow and momentum as it travels, compounding its accumulation until it attains the volume of a mighty avalanche, sweeping oil obstacles from its path and representing one of In this manner the seemingly insignificant mining developments of today are gaining an accumulative force, and already the roar may be faintly heard that foretells an avalanche of ore, representing new. clean wealth, and bringing with it. not destruction but an era of prosperity undreamed, not only for the Portland Canal District, but for the Province as a whole.

Some of these same engineers are new suffering from the effects of their snap judgements and they deserve no sympathy. By trying to damn the district they have befouled their own nests; their werd is discredited and they must look to strangers for employment. They dissipated the one big chance for establishing a reputation in their profession and attaining an unassailable eminence- But their misleading reports are being thrown into the discard; let us consign them to the oblivion that they have earned, and pursue a more cheerful subjeet. Looking over the files of the Portland Canal News for the past year the fact is discovered that fifty properties have been mentioned as being developed to a greater extent than merely the annual assessment work, and as having mineral showings worthy of bringing to the attention of SALMON RIVER BANKING COMPAN HYDER, ALASKA (Incorporated Under tho Laws of Alaska) 4 PER CENT Paid on Savings Bank Account-* , Canadian Funds Accepted on Deposit.

Government spend some money on roads in the Portland Canal District. The prospect is that in a year or two there will be a number of producing mines in addition to those at present shipping in that district, and development of these would be facilitated by adequate roads. Not only that, but other properties would be opened up. The gov-: ernment is collecting a lot of luxury money these days, what with surplus profits on the sale of liquor and the gasoline tax, and a portion of it could well be spent to help bring prosperity to the province. The amount needed in the north is $60,000, a small amount compared to the total collected by the government in a year. No mention is made of the tax on the industry itself. That, itself, is very heavy and on that point alone favorable consideration should be given to the request to fix up Bear River roads.���Western Canadian Mining News. STEWART UND COMPANY.

A shipment of 25 tons was made to the Granby smelter in October, and averaged .73 oz. g��ld:12.7oz. sHver; 22.44 per cent copper, per ten. A syndicate of Seattle business men, with S. A.D. Davis in charge of operations, will have development work started at ence. with a view to subsequently installing a plant. Ia the meantime a tunnel te extend from the lower adit is to be driven 100 feet further. Supplies and tools are being assembled and taken to the mine. Guggenheims Hanging On The Dome Mountain Gold Mining Co. Ltd. have made final application for crown grant to the 33 claims comprising the Dome Mountain property on which they were working up until the past summer. Duthie Mines Ltd. have recorded five years' assessment work ahead on the Henderson and other properties on Hudson Bay -mountain near Smithers. Equipment costing $40,000 is being assembled on the coast for shipment to Juneau for use in extracting gold values from the tailings at the old Treadwell' mines. Ncrman Gilky, of Juneau, j manager of the company having a|lease on the Treadwellltailings, is in Seattle purchasing equipment, as well as raising additional capital to assist Juneau capital in the enterprise. There will be no regrinding the tailings necessary, according to Mr Gilky, and with the installation of a drag line system of scrapers and concentrating tables it is expected 1000 tons of tailings can be handled every 24 hours. The Gilky company has been hand working the tailings for some months, making a fair return on their investment. These tests have proven values exist, and with the introduction of more modern methods, the re-i turns promise to be very profitable. Mr Gilky was the former chief accountant of the Treadwell company.���Alaska Weekly. SUITS, TOP-COATS, RIDING BREECHES Etc. The Semi-Ready Limited of Montreal.

Glacier reached its low-; est level since the stock was put on the market last soring. Lakeview, Terminus, and practically all Bear River stocks shared in this falling off of price, though a very active market is looked for after the general meeting of the Dunwell and Glacier Creek have been held and their future program made public.
