VOL. 6, NO. 7 STEWART, BRITISH COLUMBIA, FRIDAY, JULY 11, 1924 $5 THE YEAR Idunwell mine to ship soon Jreat Ore Shoot Is Holding Strong in North Drift- Road Construction Being Rushed With a developed length, at hursday night of this week, of 28 feet of ore in one shoot, the unwell mine has probably. one >f the largest continuous ore hoot known in this district. It s not all high-grade, mind you, ut throughout the brecciated nd laminated vein deposit there ,re nuggets and plasters of sil- er, deposits of argenntite and ere and there a fleck of free (gold, all giving evidence of the act that the Dunwell is a mine n the making. In the 528 feet f drifts on the No. 3 level, cross uts have been run every 50 leet [from tha hanging to the foot wall, and the results have been 11 the same, the opening up of wonderful shoot of high grade illing ore, with enough of the ative and argentite to sort and hip for ready money to carry on perations. Mo. 4 tunnel on the Dunwell is ow in 196 feet, and it is antici- ated that within the next 50 eet what is known as the wast ein will be struck. This tunnel ill be driven 800 feet to get nder the showing! in No. 1 tun- el, where drifting is now in rogress on the wonderful high- rade shoot. 1 he management are conser- Btive.

Samples taken last night 'rom the face of the north drift ire full of argentite, the same as as occurred throughout this Vel. Work on road construction to ��� mine ia being rushed, it be- K the company's intention to Timence shipping ore this fall. II material for the work is on '�� ground, the camp establish- . survey well under way, and I grading crew working on i�� lower end of the road. Efficient Management Irrespective of the fact that there is more mining development than ever up the Bear river this year, there are today four or more miles less wagon road than there was four years ago. In other words the Bear river has lost on an average ore mile or more of road per year. It is safe to say that there is not a parallel of this efficient management anywhere else in the province. Premier Pays Regular Dividend The Premier Gold Mining Co. on July 5 distributed another ��� dividend of $400,000, being 8 cents a share on a capitalization of $5,000,000. This brings the total dividends of the "Wonder Mine" up to $5,688,000, all of which has been made since the company started operations less than five years ago, besides which the mine has paid for all operating expenses, and equipment running into millions. Profits of operation for the first four months of this year were $815,000, before making deduction for depletion. The first dividend was paid Dec. 31, 1921, the amount being $400,000. Since that date a similar or larger amount haa been paid each quarter. START WORK ON N AND S Big, Bad Black Bear Beautiful gardens are an attraction not only to human beings. The other day a black bear wandered into the garden of W.B.George and started to have a feed of green peas. This not meeting with the approval ef the owner, and there being no trespassers law that will prosecute bears, Mr, George had no other recourse but to despatch the intruder with his high-powered rifle.

No Advertising Accepted for First Pace DON'T MENTION IT A COMMENT THE UNVEILING of the Cenotaph in memory of the men from this district who fell overseas during the great war, was a ceremony long to be remembered with a feeling of satisfaction by the many who were present, not only from Stewart, but also from our sister community of Hyder, Alaska. The International Service Club who were responsible for its erection, were particularly fortunate in obtaining the services of a man such as the Rev. Mr. Ashley, himself a returned man, private ln the P. P. C. L. I., one of Canada's first, and crack regiments, to officiate, and in the assistance given him by the Rev. Mr. Reddick of Hyder, and Father Allard; for on these three men all denominatiions could centre; in addition to which, with the people from Hyder two great nations were represented. It would not be fitting to touch upon The Weather Man must have a spite against Stewart this year, for never in its history was such a Dominion Day planned or organized as was this year provided for by the committee in charge, which was drawn from every organization in the community. Fine weather right up to the day, then pouring rain, followed next day by a continuation of fine weather, appears to give sufficient justification for the charge. It is to be particularly regretted, for many splendid items had been provided for, the committee having the hearty cooperation of the entire town, all working hard to nuke it a gala day. In addition to this, a number came down from Premier and over from Hyder with their baseball and football teams, to play the local boys. Besides all these, numbers came into town from nearly every property in the district OH!! Later���Now we know that not only the Weather Man but all his friends had it in for Stewart on the 1st of July, for just at this point, in response to many shouts of "fire!" the editor was called away to assist in extinguishing a blaze on the roof of the largest building in town. This is what he gets for having the temerity to even talk about the day; and if this article is not brought to a close here, the country will go dry, or the roof will fall in on his head; so good-by, Mr. Reader, good-by.
