MINING
THE re-opening of Dunwell during
the past week is hailed by the entire community and the mining fraternity, for it
will stimulate interest in the Bear River
section and district as a whole. It was
Dunwell's success that made possible the
raising of money within B.C. for mining
development in this district, and naturally
when this remarkable property shut down
���nd then hung fire, the investing public,
always nervous, became an easy prey to
the pessimists, and as a result several of
the smaller operations were forced to close
for lack of funds with which to carry on,
in spite of the fact that nearly every one
of them experienced sufficient success to
warrant more money for development.
Now, however, Dunwell is going ahead
again and will without doubt make a lot
of money for those people who have so
loyally put their money in, time and again
and by so doing brought Dunwell to its
present high standing. This, coupled with
the faith exhibited a short time ago by
people in this district in connection with
the Porter Idaho deal, should have a great
stimulating effect, and re-establish confidence to a point where properties of merit,
of which there are many, will be able to
obtain sufficient funds to prove up their
holdings.
80 years amounting to another $180,000,-
000 or thereabouts.
Editorially the Chicago Tribune says
in part: "Repudiation is, in fact, a violation of Section 10, Article 1 of the Constitution.
"While no foreign government or debt
funding commission has gone on record
in favor of bringing up the matter in future negotiations with this country," says
the literary Digest, "the Treasury department, in preparation for this contingency, is said
to be making a study of the entire repudiated
debt situation.
LEND AN EAR
FINDING  SKELETONS
British Columbia is a wonderful country, full
of wealth; our natural resources are all developed,
every possible industry that the Province is capable of developing, is firmly and soundly established; there is a surplus of money in the country
that cannot find employment within our boundaries. '
Yes, Mr Reader, just a dream, but one that
some of the big bond houses of this Province seem
to be experiencing just now, for they want you
to invest your money in a municipal loan to the
City of Graz. Province of Styria. Republic of Austria, in order to enable the good people of Graz to
extend their present sewer system, pave a few
more streets, erect apartment houses, and a few
more minor improvements. According to the
said literature we are to lend them this money at
eight per cent.
Wonderful! All our roads in this country
have been paved; all our towns have sewers; we
need no more apartment houses! The mining, the
fishing, the lumbering industries, the farmers, in
fact all our citizens, have all the money they require, even for their own homes, with no improvements needed!
So, Dear Mr Reader, lend an ear to the plea
of the bond houses of the south, and send your
surplus wealth over to the good citizens of Graz
We do both men the justice
of saying that they are both able
and honorable���capable, if given
the opportunity to do so, ef administering the affairs of this
Dominion as efficiently as the
people will permit.
It is perfectly evident to any
fair-minded, even superficial student of affairs, that the people
themselves, and both parties
alike are responsible for the ser- j
ious financial condition that men-J
aces Canada today. In otl-rr*
words, the people get just as
good a government as they deserve���no better and no worse.
The government of a country is
but a mirror, portraying correctly the body politic of a nation.

POLITICAL BUFFOONERY
iiVNOPSIS OF,
LAND ACT AMENDMENTS
DURING the last few years the world
has heard little but International Debts.
First one country and then another appears to owe the United States enormous
sums of money, and every now and then
gome 100-per cent American Senator gets
up and, shouting, demands 100 per cent
settlement, in a manner that would have
made Shylock green with envy.
Of course they are perfectly within
their rights and are, by virtue of the positions they hold, in duty bound to express
their opinions; but after reading for several years periodical outbursts such as
Senator Borah appears to enjoy, it is rather refreshing to find that a section of
the Press of the United States has suddenly discovered that certain states in the
Union are repudiators of debts.
The Dos Moines Register says in part:
"And it is not the Civil War debts of these
states that are in question, but legitimate
debts, some of which were contracted in
order to promote banks, railroads etc."
Eight states are enumerated- Alabama,
Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisana,
Mississippi, and North and South Carolina. The reputed debts are estimated to
approximate $60,000,000, with accrued in-
With the national debt of Canada, standing
as it does at $262 per head ��f the population totaling $2,-417,000,000, and increasing each year, it
is rather sickening to read in the daily press from
day to day, the speeches of the respective leaders
of Canada's two major political parties, eggtd on
by their party henchmen and hide-bound party
views.
At Richmond Hill, Mr Mackenzie King tells
his hearers that Mr Meighan is to blame for any
lack of success that his party may have experienced and that he is to a great extent responsible
for many of Canada's woes; further, that Mr
Meighan's speeches kept many immigrants from
coming to Canada, and drove thousands of our
native born to foreign lands. Later, at Wingham,
Mr Meighan replies that the King government is
feeble, futile, and lacking in policy on the main
problems of the day, and quite incapable of carry-
ing on the business of the country in   a  capable j  ^^A^A^^^m

So they go, following each other up and

nothing whatsoever to do with the real issues to

out of all recognition, in a campaign ef noise and
bluster mixed with a series of mean accusations'
that every thinking man and woman knows are
false, and that they themselves do not believe,
insulting the intelligence of free thinking people,
apparently thinking that the people of Canada ean

Notiee is hereby given that the  Acting Resident Engineer for No. 3 Mineral Survey District,   British  Columbia,
upon receiving notice of an   advertized
I and solicited sale of shares in   a   cei-
tain Company, viz.:    The  Hat Creek
I Coal Limited, N.P.L., upon statements
. or terms not in   accordance   with   the
; actual facts and conditions, has   notifi-
| ed   the undersigned,  the   Minister  of
: Mines, who, upon investigation, in pursuance with Section 16 of the "Mineral
Survey and Development Act,"   Chapter 160, R.S.B.C, 1924, made upon  his
Iinstructions   by  the Acting   Resident
I Mining Engineer, assisted by the Chief
Inspector of Mines, finds  it  necessary
to prevent injury to investors,  to give
the following public notice;
That the Minister, upon a perusal of
the document containing the advertis-
; ed or solicited sale of shares, finds
that the statements complained of are
contained in a certain letter in which
the sale of shares in the Hat Creek
Coal Limited, N.P.L., is solicited and
which letter purports to be signed by
the Hat Creek Syndicate.
A leading paragraph of the said letter reads:
"According to reliable reports, the
I diamond drills now operating at the
Hat Creek Field, have proven a body
of coal that covers six square miles.
Not only is it six miles square, but it
has been proven to have a depth of
over five hundred feet, or it is estimated that this one block contains 900,000-
000 tons of sub-bituminous, closely
verging on, bituminous coal."
That, as a result of the said investigation, the said Acting Resident Engineer comments on the foregoing as
follows:
"It has not been proven that the deposit contains six square miles (or
six miles square) of coal with a depth
of over 500 feet. My investigation
i shows that, at the present stage of the
development of this deposit the actual
proven coal, exclusive of shaly coal,
does not exceed 14,000,000 tons. The
figure of 900,000,000 tons is therefore
misleading".
The said letter, on the point of the
quality ef the coal, states:
"900,000,000 tons of sub-bituminous,
closely verging on, bituminous coal."
The said Acting Resident Engineer,
commenting on the foregoing, states:
"The averagp of 25 analyses (23 bore
hole cores and two tunnel averages) on
this coal by the Provincial Government
Assayer is:���
Moisture (water) 18.2 per cent
Volatile combustible matter    30.4 per cent
Fixed  Carbon 41.2 per cent
Ash 10.2 per cent
"Th-* average calorific value, as determined on eight samples by the Provincial Government Assayer, is 8,499
British Thermal Units.
"By applying Dowling's Split   Volatile Ratio to the  above   analysis,   the
numerical value  of  the   ratio   is   1.69
and the coal is therefore classed   as  a
lignite.     By its   physical   appearance
this coal is atypical lignite.  The statement    that   it   is  sub-bituminous,   or
closely verging on bituminous, is therefore misleading."

DECEASED INTESTATE
RUSH-COLUMBIA MINES LIMITED
Non-personal Liability
To whom it may concern:
Rush-Columbia Mines Ltd. N. P. L.
was incorporated Apr. 27, 1915 and the
Statutory Statement filed with the
Registrar of Companies July 14. Under
an agreement with the Vendors of the
mining property, Ross, Johnson Ltd.
(otherwise known as "Ross, Davies
and Johnson" and "A.R.Ross & Co.")
became Fiscal Agents, and they and
the directors named by them, Arthur
E. Haynes, Col.A.L.Jacob, Col. R. D.
Davies, Commander C. H. R. Slingsby
and Jack Brown Shaw have full control of the sale of shares and handling
the Company funds. Up to this date,
Sept. 18, 1925, they have not permitted
a dollar of the money received for
shares to be spent on the property, and
the Vendors have at their own expense
prevented the sale of Crown Granted
claims for delinquent taxes and are j
performing the required assessment
work on other claims. The Vendors |
have notified Ross, Johnson Ltd. of the
recission of the contract (for default)
under which they became Fiscal
Agents, requesting them to sell no
more shares, and the Minister of Mines
has been asked to intervene under authority of the Mineral Survey and Development Act, to secure an accounting and the application of the funds
already received for shares to uses
named in the Prospectus.
Subscribers to Rush-Columbia shares
are therefore warned to make no further payments to Ross, Johnson Ltd.
on account of share subscriptions, but
to withold such payments until the
Vendors, now occupied with assessment work, are free to call a meeting,
elect new officers and directors and
sever all connection with Ross, Davies
Ltd.

Local Stocks
(Quotations by H.W.M.Rolston & Co)
The markets during the past
week remained inactive with little trading, except in Premier,
which stock controlled the Vancouver market.
Continued good reports arrive
from the Big Missouri and this
property is now looked upon as
one of the big coming mines of
the district.
L&L Glacier Creek are preparing for continuous winter
shipping; the cheap offerings in
this stock are rapidly being taken
up.
Marmot Metals is holding firm
with very little stock offering.
Porter Idaho slackened off a
bit during the week, under some
big offerings from the outside,
though this stock is expected to
strengthen when the smelter returns are made public.

GALENA VEIN
ON BOUNDARY
Len Doggett, who for several
years has been prospecting the
Boundary group at 13-Mile on
Salmon river, has at last opened,
and exposed to the view of all
passers-by on the road, a very
pretty galena showing. The exact extent or width of the ore is
as yet hard to determine, but his
efforts have been rewarded by
finding something right on the
road-side that many people climb
mountains to find, and fail. The
property is on the Alaskan side,
adjoining the boundary line just
south of 13-Mile.
