No Advertising Aeeepted for First Page 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.

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 price pf first-class (arable) land Is II per A0r��. and aecond-claas (grazing) PRE-EMPTIONS Vacant, unreserved, surveyefl Crown lands may be pre-empted b) British subjects over 18 year* of age and by aliens on declaring lntentiot to become British subjects, condi tional upon residence, occupation and Improvement for agricultural purpoaex.

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." WM. SLOAN, Minister of Mines, 15th September, 1925. ALL THE COMFORTS OF A HOME ARE TO BE HAD AT THE Hotel Stewart James McAleenan, Proprietor.

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.

PORTLAND CANAL NEWS Fifth Street, Stewart. 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. Local stocks closed as follows: Bid Asked 90 $ 1.25 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. B. C.
