No Advertising Accepted for First Page NEW HIGH RECORD FOR MINERAL BRITISH COLUMBIA'S mineral production in 1925 is valued at about $62,000- 000, an increase of over 25 per cent over 1924. Details of the years's operations shows marked activity in all parts of the Province, with much preliminary work done in preparation of further develop* ment this year, and there is every indication that another record will be made in 1926. Principal of all operations are those of the -Consolidated Mining & Smelting Company at Trail, with its world-beating mine, the Sullivan, at Kimberley, as well as other big properties, and its big smelter at Trail. Ten per cent of the world's lead and seven per cent of the zinc, is produced at Trail, where extensive extensions have been made during the past year with more in prospect.* What is being done at Trail is shown by the figures of production. In 1919 the value was $7,326,925, and it was thought the 1924 amount of $20,854,000 was a big jump over 1923, when the figure was $11,402,000, but last year it climbed to almost $30,000,000. Apart from the big features of its work, a helpful /actor is the custom concentrating mill for small operators. Naturally, with a record production, there has been increase in the amount of ore mined and the metals produced. The largest increase was that of lead, from 170,000,000 pounds to 236,000,000 pounds, while zinc increased from 79,000,000 to 100,000,000 pounds, and copper from 64,- 000,000 to 72,000,000 pounds. Copper production will be still further increased this year, since the big plant of the Granby at Allenby will get well into its stride, its capacity being 20,000,000 pounds of copper per year. It has been working only about half capacity since resuming operation early last fall. The department of mines at Victoria reports a slight falling off in the production of lode and placer gold, but operation along both these lines is increasing. The dredge of the Kafue Copper & Development Company on Antler Creek, Cariboo, demonstrated that it could make good money, and with initial difficulties overcome it should do well this year. Increased gold operations will also be conducted in the Cassiar district, while Atlin's output will also be greater. There is nothing but progress in every district to report. In Portland Canal the Premier is doubling its capacity, and with a successful season's work in that district, other properties there will soon be shipping. J. F. Duthie has demonstrated that mining in the Omineca-Skeena district pays. In the Bridge river district, profitable operation of the Pioneer gold mine is encouraging development of other properties. Around Kamloops and in the Nicola old mines have been reopened. Much interest has been taken in the Lardeau, and deals may shortly be announced. The Slocan has been revivified and Wallace mountain is aboom. All through the Kootenay mining is active. The actual figures of production for the year have been large, but a very gratifying feature is the number of large companies which have been securing properties. Their operations for the year do not show up in a material way as yet, but in a year or two they will mean a great deal. The Porcupine Goldfields & Development Company, which took over the North Star group near Kimberley, has been securing! other properties not only in the Kootenay) but in the Omineca, which presage large operations. The Federal Mining Company, a subsidiary of the American Smelting & Refining Company, bought the Sally and other properties on Wallace mountain. It already has mineral properties in other parts of the prevince. The Victoria Syndicate, a strong British company represented in Vancouver by R.H.Stewart. M. E., in addition to buying is testing out some large propositions, and next summer should bring some important announcements. Prospects of a steel industry in the Kootenay are good, British capitalhaving been interested by W.R.Wilson, general manager of the Crow's Nest Pass Coal Company. A big coast steel industry is ^lso in prospect, and the establishment of the latter would mean a big payroll almost immediate!}-. This article is merely a sketch of principal features of the year's mining operations. Details of activity throughout the province will be contained in the annual report of the minister of mines, and this will be a valuable volume to all interested in British Columbia mining.���Western Canada Mining News.

Mr Mclver, who has been in charge of the "work carried on during the past few months, states that he encountered the lead on the footwall of a big dyke and has opened up a showing often inches cf grey copper ore on the hanging wall and four inches on the foot wall. Samples of this ore taken from an outcropping on the surface 125 feet above showed values of over $200 per ton. The ore at aepth, he considers, is much richer than the surface showing, and he has hurried back to the property to carry on thi work and pick up the ore beyond a strong oxidization caused by a fracture in the formation at the point of picking up the ore. In addition to the Hunter, Little Joe and View properties on which they have taken a bond from O.A.Riegle of Telkwa, the Carr brothers own three claims in the Hunter basin known as the Chester. Lorraine and Helen. ,There is a very strong showing ; of ore on the surface of the Ches- I ter claim and a few years ago a tunnel was started to tap this ore at a depth estimated at 135 feet. After driving 115 feet work was closed down, and it was not until 1 three months ago that a decision ; was reached to continue the tun- i nel. The ore on the Chester is now proved to a depth of 500 feet, \ and with ore proved to 350 feet on the Hunter claim the boys are .naturally highly elated and plan continuing work with the greatest possible speed, and there is 1 every indication of the property ! being a big producer. PALLADIUM ORE IN SALTCHUCK The Saltchuck mine near Ketchikan is now working steadily and producing about 350 tons of ore per day, said A. L. Howard, mining engineer, who is connected with the property and came aouth recently on a short recreation trip. The mine has been in regular production since the fall of 1923, or since the concentrating plant was placed in operation, lt was mined on a limited and intermit-' tent scale before that time, but! now it has joined the regular and dependable producers of the Northland. The Saltchuck mine is the only one of its kind in Al- aska, in that its chief metal content, or rather the most valuable part of the metal content, is a palladium ore which belongs to the platinum group. Saltchuck j now produces between 4000 and 4500 ounces of palladiumja year, j and is a very important part of the mine product, as palladium is worth about $80 per ounce. I The ore is concentrated at the mine and the concentrates are| shipped to Irvington, New Jer-j sey, for final treatment. Besides' palladium, the ore carries some I copper, gold and silver. j The Saltchuck mine is the big- ' gest producer of palladium ore! on the American continent. Iti is the belief of mineralogists who j have visited and inspected South-' eastern Alaska that it is a coun- j try likely to contain manydepos-j its of palladium ore. The Alas-J ka Weekly is informed that twoj more palladium properties will be opened next season. The Saltchuck mine is owned by J. E.Chilberg, the former well known Seattle business man who now stays on the property and manages it, and a group of other Seattle business men.���Alaska Weekly.

Tarr Inlet, is uncertain at present, owing to the glaciers and impossibility of railroad outlet. It will be carefully watched, as it is a matter of scientific interest. There is a possibility of it being utilized some time industrially, M.J.P.Forde. M.E.I.C, District Engineer for the Dominion gov- ernmeut, told members of the Victoria branch of the Engineering Institute of Canada. Mr Forde illustrated his address by some excellent views, which showed Point Atkinson lighthouse, Bamfield cable station, which will be doubled in size on account of the new cable, the Prince Rupert cold storage plant, through which pass 29.- 000,000 pounds of fish annually, icebergs in Glacier bay, and Mar- jorie, Ferris and Grand Pacific glaciers, shoving flow form, pinnacles and appearance of ice- faces 150 to 250 feet high. The Duthie Mining Co.'is employing two trucks in transporting ore from the mine to the railway for shipment to the smelter. Between 50 and 60 men are employed and shipments are planned of a carload a day. It is proposed to install a mill and power plant during the coming summer. E.H.Love is searching for a "lost mine" which he claims he found in 1870 or 1871 when driving cattle into the Cariboo. SurxhM ST.CHA&es feBffijjSE With the Cream left in!

Rolston & Co)' Continued good reports arrive from the southern markets, and show that the Portland Canal is becoming much in the public eye. What has been a boon to a lot of the older incorporated companies is the fact that practically no new incorporations are in sight; this will leave more money available for the properties that have stood the dull period of the winter. The very mild weather experienced through the winter will mean a number ot operations will be opening early the coming spring, and some of the stocks are booked for a rapid rise when operating reports start to arrive. This is noticeable in Marmot Metals. Even though this property is still closed, the stock is coming into active demand. Stocks of the operating companies remained steady during the week, A new feature in the local market is the fact that a large amount of money is looking for secured investment locally, proving that the permanency of the camp is becoming established. The market closed as follows: Bid Asked $ 1.60 $ 1.65 Portland Canal Mining Claims The undersigned, solicitor for the estate ot the late Samuel Gourley, has for sale the following Crown granted mineral claims at Stewart, B.
