Instances might be pointed out right now of some of the best properties in this camp which are not particularly attractive to the buyers of stocks beoause they do not show ore worth hundreds of dollars per ton and their managers do not choose to misinform the public as to actual conditions. The industry is unforluuate in being up against a situation in which the public, through its ignorance of mining fundamentals and its penchant for sensationalism, fail to look far enough ahead. It is the low-grade ores of this district that will make it a great and steady producer of mineral wealth, and not the high-grades. The mining engineers know this, and George Clothier, resident engineer for this district, has emphasized the fact many times, but the public has yet to learn it.

Money Telegraphed to all Parts of United States J. A. Hall, Pres. D. Lindeborg, Vice-Pres. E. D. Haddon, Cashier. AS OTHERS SEE US DID ANY of you take the time or trouble to analyze a little news item that appeared in last week's issue about the Alaska Juneau mining and milling operations? It is worth while. This Alaskan enterprise treated, in the month of October, 291,600 tons of ore, from which $193,300 was recovered, or 66.18 cents per ton. After deducting operating expenses a profit of $52,000, or 17.83 cents per ton, remained. In these operations it would seem that the acme of efficiency had been attained; yet the management have improvements planned and under construction which will still further reduce the operating cost. Compared with the scale on which the Alaska Juneau is extracting ore, the operations of the Premier, which is considered somewhat of a mine in these parts, fadeaway into the realms of insignificance. The Premier produces about 300 tons of ore per day, 9000 tons per month. It would take 32 1-3 Premiers to equal one Alaska Juneau at this rate of production. We cannot oompare operating costs or values of ore between the two properties, because we do not know the figures for the Premier. Dividends paid by tne latter show that it is in an entirely different class from the Alaska property. The main point we wish to emphasize is that high-grade ore is not essential to successful mining; in fact the history of the industry shews that nearly all the revenue is produced by large-tonnage, low- grade mines. High-grades are a fine thing to have, especially in the formative stages of a mine, when operations, as a rule, are conducted on a shoe-string basis. Ore that can be taken from near the surface and shipped to smelters at a profit helps wonderfully in paying for necessary development and equipment, and without it a large number of mining companies would be wrecked before they had even started upon the sea of business venture. The many thousands, and sometimes millions of dollars needed to put a property on a self-supporting basis could never be in veigled from tht bank rolls of "investors." Nevertheless, hifh-_rades are too apt to be somewhat of a curse instead of a Mossing. They are apt to distract atten- Under the heading' "Stewart Leads the Way" the Alice Arm Herald says: In the matter of giving widespread publicity to their natural resources the people of Stewart are undoubtedly foremost in the province. Like the live merchant who has something to sell they believe in extensive advertising, not spasmodic, but persistent. Stewart has a Citizens' Association who are always on the job. Individuals, and especially those possessing mining properties, leave no stone unturned in order to develop their latent resources. They are confident that the majority of those who invest will receive rich reward*, and they go to the men with money instead of leaving for other eamps or sitting idly at home waiting for someone else to start some!hing# The success attained by the people of Stewart proves that an aggressive policy pays. They are now commencing to reap the fruits of (heir years of labor, and now that they are on the down stretch, prosperity will increase as time passes.
