Magee Completes Work for Year on Marmot Holdings-Encouraging Results on Three Groups to be Bufficientlj Form Club A meeting of returned lervice was held in the gtewart 'H. C. Magee, who since the spring has been doing development work on his Marmot river interest, has shut down work for the winter and will leave on the Prince Rupert for Vancouver, Sunday. During the season Mr. Magee, who has had several men employed, and has done considerable work on three groups of claims: The Patricia, owned by himself and Dr. R. E. McKechnie of Vancouver; the Montana, owned by himself and Angus McLeod and George Bruggie; the Aberdeen, consisting of four claims, owned by himself, Dr. McKechnie and Mrs. Scott of Vancouver. On the Patricia, situated on the south fork, containing seven claims, the tunnel has been extended 22 feet, giving a total length of 82 feet. Most of the work this season was confined to further exploration, open cuts and stripping; also to the building of trails and a cabin close to the new showings that were located during the summer. The season's work has shown up a large mineralized zone, striking in an easterly and westerly direction across the entire group, and part way across the Montana - following the contact between the granite rocks and the green stones. In this zone Mr. Magee, during the summer has uncovered with open cuts and by stripping, three large low grade leads, assays from the surface of which run all the way from $3 to $5 in all values; and three high grade veins, on which assays taken from the surface to a depth of eight feet !n open and one-half miles of tidewater. Four assessments were also done by Mr. Magee on the four claims of the Aberdeen group, situated on the west side of the north fork of the Marmot, and immediately adjoins the Idaho group on the southwest, A large open cut was put in on the Copper King claim, exposing a 6 foot copper lead, carrying considerable bornite. On the Copper Queen a 15 foot open cut was made 6 feet deep, showing up a 12 foot quartz lead, highly mineralized with galena. A number of other leads were also located on this property, but owing to the shortness of the season and the volume of work Mr. Magee had in hand no work was done on them. Eli Watland was employed by Mr. Magee since July.

Miss Ryan, who was in charge of all arrange ments, deserves great for the evening being the success that it was. The decorations, carried out by Frank Bowler, were exceedingly good ��nd very appropriate for the occasion. Harry Scovil, who was master of ceremonies, kept the evening going wihh a swing.

No Advertising Aecepted for First Page AN INVITATION THE News is now established in its new quarters, which are more commodious than the old, and extends a hearty invitation to its many friends, both in town and on the hill, to take the first opportunity of paying the office a visit. The interior alterations, which were made by Duncan McLean, stand as a credit to his workmanship, and show what can be done in a town where finishing materials are difficult to obtain. A number of technical mining journals are kept on hand for the perusal of those directly interested in mining. PUBLIC WORKS only in the British forces, but also those who served in the forces of the United States. Such an organization will tend to keep alive the friendly feeling that now exists between Stewart and the American town of Hyder, which in time will grow into a link in the chain of a friendship and mutual understanding that is rapidly being forged, and is so necessary to the two great English speaking natrons. An organization of this kind will, from its inception be absolute unique, for it is believed that no where else in the world does such an association exist. Such a club can he of great benefit, to not only both communities, but also a source of pleasure and recreation to the men concerned, for smokers and gatherings can be held such as that of last Saturday, whereat exceedingly good talent was unexpectedly unearthed. It could likewise be used as an information bureau for men coming into the district, thus being to them possibly of very great assistance. AMENDMENT EIGHTEEN COMMENTATORS are not agreed whether prohibition was approved or condemned in the recent United States election. There was no direct issue, though aome state platforma were concerned with prohibition law enforcement. Conclusions from there-election or defeat of certain dry or wet candidates are unsafe. The whole discussion is academic. Promotion must remain law in the United States as long as Amendment XVIII remains a part of the constitution. It will stay until it is repealed by vote of THE news this week, of the contem- three-fourths of the states.

And in so far as this is the case, the work done will be of far more importance than the temporary payroll that it will directly create.

ANNA MILLER, Proprietor ATTEND PICTURE SHOW PIONEER HALL HYDER, ALASKA Wednesday, Nov. 22 ONE OF THE BEST OF THE SEASON BRITISH COLUMBIA MINES From coast line toSelkirks the present noticeable transition from pessimism and inactivity to optimism is extremely gratifying. The present movement in the province is not confined to ont or two localities. The record of the great Premier mine, near Stewart, which will return to its shareholders over three million dollars in dividends this year, has re-directed noticeable attention to coast districts, with the result that much new development is under way and prospectors are once more abroad over a wide territory offering wonderful possibilities. The Kamloops district is showing more activity than for several years past. The Slocan is taking on its old aspect ot' prosperity, Several deals are under wsy in East Kootenay, and the area of which Nelson is the center is coming in for a good share of public attention. The most re assuring feature of the situation is that big capital is again on the lookout for promising prospects and has many accomplished scouts in the field. Several important transfers of productive properties are practically completed, and it is certain that announcements in the immediate future will add to the fame of British Columbia as a locale for profitable investment in mines. British Columbia unquestionably has the resources and it is beginning to profit from sane, consistent publicity. Its laws are the best in the world and it enjoys the paternalistic and enthusiastic aid of a minister of mines who understands the importance of his position. Capital is encouraged in every legiti- and every legitimate way and every effort is made to provide reliable information from official sources.���Mining Truth. Keep your optics on B.C.

Twenty- five years ago he waa editor and proprietor of the Kaslo Kootenaian and will be remembered by many- old time Kootenay miners, now working in the Portland Canal district. Jim Ward is still alive and living in New Denver:] "The firat church bell in the Slocan will call saint and sinner to worship at New Denver tomorrow. " ��� News Item, "I never quit a camp until I hear the first church bell. "-Jim Ward. "Say, Bill, what was that chimin'sound I heard a while ago? It sounded like a church bell, A-ringin soft and low, And stirrin' up old memories With its echoes, don't you know." He was digging on the mountain- Silver mountain- when a bell Sent up from far below him, Soft as any funeral knell, Its first imploring music, And it bound him like a spell. And mushing down the crooked trail. Hat in hand, to where Old Bill Cooked the bannocks and the bacon ln their camp beside the rill, Walked the searcher after treasure, Pioneer of Silver Hill. Another time, a church, a bride, Like some old forgoten song, Memory brought back to the searcher As he heedless strode along. Another time, a church, a bier, Came with memory's rushing throng. "There, Bill, it's startin' in again, Ringin' soft-and ringin' low; You reckon it's in Denver, The new church bell? Bill, you know This old camp's almost done for, And it's time for us to go." 100,000 share; American Mining and Milling Co.
