been most encouraging.   Tbe foundation I
is laid for building a structure oi mine��

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.

ROADS NEEDED   FOR   MINING PURPOSES;
REVIEWING the mining activities of
this district during 1924 is a source of
gratification to any resident who has the
welfare of the district at heart, and is especially encouraging to those who have

years when it seemed impossible to inter- the most irresistible forces ��f Nature.
est capital or to overcome the adverse reports  that  were broadcast all over the
world a dozen years ago by so-called mining engineers who appeared to be in a
guessing contest instead of in the responsible business ef making sensible exami-
tions and reports, and who, through their
carelesness or ignorance,   did the district
an incalculable amount of harm.   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

An agitation is afoot to have the Provincial!
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

width cannat be determined until the vein has been cat through.
 The recently disccvered ere
vein is situated about 3000 feet
northeast of the Dolly Varden
glory hole, from which 40 tans
of ore yielded 55,000 ounces ef
silver. During the short period
the Dslly Varden was operating,
it produced 1,639,000 ounces tf

Without any exaggeration,
future prospects on the Toric

The Kafue company has had a
Keystone arill in the field for
two years, and the Yukon Gold

The Usk correspondent of the
Omineca Herald writes:
Development en the Lucky
Luke property, a mile and a half
south of Usk. is being opened
up, permanently, there is reason
to believe, a6 a result of the
work which was done recently,
when a carload of ore was taken
out to test the value of the vein
eontents. 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.

accountant of the Treadwell
company.���Alaska Weekly.

Local Stocks
After last week's heavy slump
in both Dunwell and Glacier;
Creek the market strengthened
considerably upon news of the
general meeting of these two
co_panies and strong rumors
of both properties being taken
over by a -*-yfe operating company. 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. The Marmot section is attracting attention. Porter Idaho
remains steady with strong outside demand.
