A. Henton of Tacoma, head os the Standard Mines Corporation, and development is to begin at once under the direction of Pat Daly, who negotiated the deal. Pat had formerly made Mr Henton the proposition he afterwards successfully presented to R.K.Neill on the Premier. Harry Townsend, formerly with ��� the Anaconda Copper Company as field engineer, is now with the Standard Mines Corporation as consulting engineer. Following the preliminary exploration work on the Big Missouri, he will outline a development program. | The Big Missouri group consists of sixteen full claims and I four fractions, all crown granted and lying along the ridge east of Salmon river glacier for a distance of two miles.

Mr Forrest was formerly interested in mining, but ef late years has been more particularly concerned in oil, operating with marked success in Oklahoma. Texas and Mexico. Like many other oil men he is now turning back to mining, and on his first venture became prominently associated with the Northland Mining Company, which was formed to develop and operate the Troy group of claims, a property with some very splendid showings af both high and milling grade ores, which were partially developed by the former, owners, Niel McDonald and Chas Lake of Stewart.

No Advertising* Accepted for Pirtt Pa��e OBSERVATIONS LAZYNESS and lethargy in community and national affairs appears to be characteristic of not only the people of Stewart but the province as a whole. True it Is, people seem to delight to sit or stand around in little gatherings and wax eloquent in their criticisms, and what is, and what should be, but when it comes to actually doing anything they are always too busy, mostly pursuing their own pleasures and as a result, all the hundred and one little things that are necessary to be done, are left to a few. Safe it is to say that the people who are loudest in their criticisms of the actions of the few, are themselves the last people to lend a hand to any definite action, or assist even with their moral support any actual undertaking; and while possibly their criticisms are made only for want of something better to do, still a little more genuine desire to better conditions, a little more appreciation of the work of those who are carrying the burden, a little more charitable disposition, and a little more tolerance would make the lives of all much happier, and the people practicing it much stronger, and as a result the world would be a brighter place in which to live. per cent of the gold output of the British Empire. What the mining industry means to the agriculturists of South Africa is in dicated by the fact that the mines pur chase annually from the growers over 1,000,000 pounds of foodstuffs. Timber fer mining poles and logging, grown in South Africa, costs the mines about half a million pounds a year. In 1923 the expenditure of the Witwaterstrand for foodstuffs, mining machinery, stores and supplies amounted to 12,886,025 pounds. The accident rate on the Rand in 1924 was 1.63 per cent, due largely to the shaft accident at Radfontein in which 31 persons were killed. The Village Deep shaft is now down to 6662 feet or over a mile and a quarter from the surface.���Canadian Mining Journal. SETTING A GOOD EXAMPLE <��/ RAND GOLD PRODUCTION RECENTLY compiled data supplementing that published in the brochure * 'The Gold of the Rand" brings thc storj of gold mining in the Transvaal up to date. The approximate .value of the gold produced in the Transvaal up to the end of 1924 is 844,500,000 pounds. Of this there has been spent in wages, "store*' and other working costs, 628,000,000 pounds. The mines of the Rand are now employing 18,942 Europeans, of whom over one-half are South African born, and 181,120 colored persons. Some idea of the amount of mining done is indicated by the fact that 28,209,- 073 tons of ore were crushed in 1924. The approximate mileage of underground excavation is 3,250 miles. The Rand is producing over one-half of the gold output of the world and approximately seventy Placerville, California, has a "community mine." A celebration is in prospect to observe the starting of its modern 10 stamp mill. Sacramento chamber of commerce is lending aid. Business men of this old camp determined that the way to start new mining activity was to do it themselves. They organized last year the Eldorado Mining and Development Company. The Gilford mine on Poverty Point, two miles from Placerville, was selected as the frit property to be re-opened. In the early days the Placerville camp produced $150,000,000 in gold. Spurred on by the action of Placerville business men, a number of individuals and corporations are now reopening mines in the district Residents of Placerville have set a good example for the "home town" folks in other mining communities in the west. In too many communities the contribution of local interests to a mining revival consists in "soaking" every outsider who ventures in to look for mines worthy of development.���Ex.

D. 1925. 7 Several papers have lately been condemning the Cassiar District, and report that prospectors are leaving in disappointment, There was never justification for a great excitement over the Gold- pan Creek discoyeries. and William Grady, the discoverer, discouraged it. Anyone who went there expecting to find creek beds paved with gold was a simpleton and due for disappointment. Nevertheless the country is a good one to prospect for minerals in both lode and placers, and undoubtedly there are enough genuine prospectors among those who went in to assure that the section will be carefully examined.���Ex.
