P. t PY UNPRECEDENTED majorities in Prince Rupert, and several places in the Interior, the electors of Skeena Riding expressed their appreciation in no uncertain terms of the work done in the past by Fred Stork, M. P., and confidence in him in the future. A pleasant feature of the campaign in this section of the riding at least, was the good feeling in all three camps, Liberal, Conservative and Progressive; one and all, retaining their allegiance, met socially and in a business way and joshed each other freely in the best possible spirit of fun. This, to a great extent, was due to the lead given by the candidates themselves. It was throughout a clean fight, well fought, and fairly won, and the winner deserves congratulations, even from the opposing forces. Whether Mr Stork will take his seat among the Government benches, or in op- whieh developments promise to exceed, this district in a few years will catch and poll a larger vote than any other district outside of Prince Rupert. At the Provincial election in June of last year the total vote polled was 272; on the 29th last it was 366, an increase in one year of 94 votes. The increase over 1921 of the number of votes polled in the Dominion election in Prince Rupert is only 69. In the 1921 election the total Stewart town vote was 141; on the 29th last it was 366, an increase of 225. There is nothing that encourages the parental care, love and affection of a Government for a district, regardless of party, as does a big vote. relied upon to do his utmost, and work hard for these much-needed improvements, and that he will gladly accept all the assistance that the district is capable of affording him; therefore it is up to the people here to get busy. GUMMED THE WORKS Premier King has announced that he will call Parliament on Dec. 10th. that being the earliest possible date on which it can meet. With nine of his Cabinet Ministers defeated, as well as himself without a seat, it should be an interesting session. The opposing forces are now busy maneuvering for control, realizing the political advantage that the machinery of Government gives the governing party in an election, which cannot long long be delayed. The Stewart merchants sell fly paper in the summer, but the voters of Canada this year sold the political parties political fly paper, and as a result rather gummed the works. DISTRICT ENTITLED TO ROADS The appropriations made this district last year by the Provincial Government for roads, trails etc., were without doubt good, the best ever, and a great deal of real good work resulted, for which Mr Kergin, M.L.A., the Minister of Public Works and the Minister of Mines, are justly entitled to credit.

The completion of the Bear River road im- provemement program to American Creek, and up-keep of side and extension trails, will of course be undertaken early in the spring, also the completion of the Marmot River road to the forks. New work that the Government will have to consider is the cenversion of the present east trail to the Big Missouri from the Bunting cabin, into a wagon road. Such a road will be 100 per cent more warranted than 100 times its mileage of motor roads now under consideration in the south, for such roads will never create payrolls, nor business generally in this province, nor any- thing-like the revenue for the Government, that will the Big Missouri as an operating mine; therefore, the sooner it is brought into operation, the better for the entire province. Another condition that requires immediate attention is the road from Stewart to the dock. For the amount of traffic it has to accommodate, this possibly is the worst piece of road in British Columbia. It needs to be widened and surfaced with crushed rock and tar, for no less substantial surface will carry the traffic. Such surface, we believe, would if properly hand led.-toot cost any more than the old method of graveling and in the long run would be far cheaper. It is a strange thing that while the road from the dock to Stewart is in a deplorable condition, the road from the dock to Hyder, Alaska, a foreign town, is a good one. both built by the B. C.

Of the veins referred to twelve are exposed on the southern portion of the group, and about eight veins on the northern or Goat Creek portion.

There is good reason for these conditions, for this vein occupies the centact between the Bear River and Naas River formations The Bear River formation is the same as that in which the Premier, B. C. Silver, National Silver, Big Missouri, Hercules and Forty Nine mines occur, and it extends into the Troy group as far as Mineral Gulch, a deeply eroded canyon occupied in its upper portion by an arm of the Mt. Dilsworth glacier. The Bear River series is represented on the Troy group by andesite greenstone, feldspar and quartz porphyries, and dicritic dykes. The Naas series is represented by slates, schists, some limestone, and dioritic and dia basic dykes intrusive into them. West of the No. 1 or Contact vein are twe others with parallel strike in the nerth-south course entirely within the Bear River series. Intersecting these are a number of crosscourses of varying dip and strike. All other veins are in the area covered by the Naas series of argillites and their accompaning intrusives. Some of the cross veins are almost as large as the main north-south veins. For instance the Forrest vein, discovered by Mr R. L. Forrest, President of your Company, was found on being measured, to have a width of 22 ft.; while another cross- vein, known as the Mary vein, is from 40 to 50 ft. in width. The northern, or Goat Creek vein system is notable for its association with two belts of dykes, differing in strike and intersect- is exposed in the bed of the stream flowing down the gulch and in the steep walls of the canyon. The north wall of this canyon rises in an elevation of about 100 ft. to the slope of the ridge, while the south wall attains an elevation of about 300 ft. A large and rapid stream flows through Mineral Gulch from the main glacier. The accessible portions of the vein have been developed by open cuts over a length of 2000 ft. Where opened by such cuts the vein is strongly mineralized, and especially so at points of intersection with cross veins. Where examined it was found to carry a paystreak of high-grade ore about 4 ft. in width. It is probable that this vein will prove to carry the most valuable ore depesits on the property, and its exploration by diamond drilling or other development should be one of the first undertakings of your Company. The average valve of the samples of ore from this vein on which assays have been obtained is $181.30 per ton, mainly in silver, but the ore also carries appreciable quantities of lead and zinc. The minerals are tetrahedrite, argentite, galena and blende. Lack of space prevents notice at this time of the numerous other veins, mining facilities including hydro-electric sources, the modern camp etc. described by Mr Haggen. His concluding remarks, however, follow: As you will see from the accompanying plan, the Troy group has an extraordinary development of mineral veins of exceptional size and strength, suggesting the possibility of developing large bodies of ore.

Stock and Bond brokers, Stewart, B. C. SILVER TIP IS RICH IN HIGH-GRADE The Silver Tip Mining Development Company, which has its headquarters in this city, has had very encouraging reports covering the past season's operations and the outlook for the future, says the * Victoria Colonist. In addition to the excellent reports from Mr J.V.Clegg, the directors have the advantage of a report by Mr C. W. Frank of this city, who visited the property and reports that the ore readily lends itself to concentration. He recommends the carrying on of the development work to prove up the values in the crosscut tunnel that has been started. During the season the well- known May P. J. contact was shown up by stripping and ��pen cuts, which work disclosed a good grade of commercial ore bodies carrying gold, silver, lead and zinc. Owing te a small creek following the contact in which the vein outcrops, water conditions interfere with sinking on the vein. It was therefore decided to crosscut it at a vertical depth of 90 feet and then drift on the vein. A small amount of open cut work was done on the Morkill vein, which contains fair average values in gold, silver, lead and zinc. A considerable amount of prospecting was done during the summer season, with most encouraging results. Several good looking vein outcrops have been uncovered by stripping and open cuts on the Bella Coola and Silver Leaf claims. Large pieces of ore float which assayed from 20 cents to $40 per ton in gold and from $30 to $280 in silver, and also good values in lead and zinc, were found. This ore float caused further intensive prospecting of the whole property. Three veins, respectively five feet, 18 inches and ten inches, were located. The source of the largest pieces of ore float, which were also the richest, has not been found yet, owing to the heavy glacial wash which covers the rocks on the southern part of the Silver Leaf claim, Considerable stripping of the ore-bearing area is required to find the source of the ore. A deep open cut was made which exposed a considerable amount of good ore, 30 inches of which assayed $165.84 in gold, silver, lead and zinc; the balance of the vein is concentrating ore and some waste rock. A crosscut tunnel of 110 feet would give 90 feet of vertical depth. There is every reason to believe it is stated, that the Silver Tip property will become an important producer of high-grade shipping and concentrating ore, and in view of the encouraging outlook of this property, the management feels optimistic as to the outcome of future developments contemplated. Ore Shipments Out The Cardena last Monday night took out 10.800 pounds of B. C. Bonanza ore, 19,100 pounds of Bayview ore and 3,083 pounds of Goldie ore. all combined in a shipment for Swansea, Wales, which will be forwarded from Vancouver.

Once more those who had faith enough in the Indian to buy in at low figures were rewarded with 100 per cent profit and better. Indian stock at present appears to be in heavy demand. Some two years ago the Glacier Creek property was in the same position and as much as a 1000 per cent profit was made by a few far-sighted people. Under the present position Glacier is due for a sharp rise. National Silver maintained its price on a very active market. This stock is looked upon as one of the Portland Ganal favorites. Silver Crest was in good demand on a steadily rising market. The market remained slack on a number of the more recent stocks.
