W.R.Harner, who with Homer Ficklin owns the High Grade group at the head of Magee Pass is collaborating with Mr Lundvall in putting in the trail, and when it is completed will start development on his property, taking in an initial string of 18 pack horses with supplies. The Washington was located by Mr Lundvall in 1920, and he has done considerable work since that time, under the handicap of having to back-pack all his supplies. He is driving a crosscut tunnel to tap a series of veins.

Mr Hallum is no novice at mining, having had experience in both hard rock and placer. He was one of the pioneers of Nome. The Last Chance is situated near the foot of Salmon glacier and adjoins the Cantu group now being developed by the Premier Gold Mining Co.

Applica tion forms for membership will arrive shortly, when a number of new members, both regular and associate, are expeeted to join. The committee, which has in hand the arrangements for a convention and dinner to be held in Stewart has the work well in hand, and a number of very good papers by men prominent in the industry are provided for.

Little Evelyn Lee Dies Evelyn Lee, aged about four years, daughter of Mr and Mrs Clifford Lee and grand-daughter of Clay Porter, died last week in Prince Rupert of tubercular meningitis. Mr and Mrs Lee and the other children, who have resided in Hyder for the past year, have gone to Vancouver where they will reside. At a special meeting of the Hospital Board last Tuesday the Secretary announced receipt of an appropriation by the Government from liquor profits toward renewing the foundations of the hospital. A thorough examination of the underpinning was made recently and it was found that, though there was no immediate danger of the building collapsing, the posts and mudsills had rotted so seriously that immediate action was necessary. A committee has been appointed to draw up specifications. The need of additional interior plumbing was considered and arrangements made to take care of the situation until this work could be undertaken. Resignation from the board was submitted in writing by the Chairman, the Rev. A. W.R.Ashley, expressing thanks for the loyal support received. This was accepted with expressions of regret H. G. Marvin was elected to the position. A vote of thanks to the retiring Chairman received hearty support. The matter of filling the vacant seat on the board was left until the next meeting. J. P. Scarlett was elected a member of the house committee. The Secretary was requested to advertise for further members of the Association. In explanation of this it might be pointed out that this Association has been formed and registered under the Societies Act and its by-laws approved by the Registrar of Companies and the Provincial Secretary. The by-laws provide that members only may vote on the administration of the hospital affairs. The Hospital Board wish this known in order to allow all those interested to give their assistance; hence the ad appearing on Page 4 of this issue. Memorial Services Memorial services for those who made the supreme sacrifice in the World War will be held at 7:30 p.m. next Sunday at the Cenotaph. All ex-service men are requested to assemble at the United Services Club hall at 7 o'clock for parade. Roy Priest arrived Saturday from Vancouver, where he spent the winter.

Major C. B. North, P. E. '' Peterson and William Asselstine, whereat >-t %�� '" it was decided to form in Stewart an ac- ito tive local of the Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, was one of the greatest forward steps taken in this district for many years, and was an action pregnant with many interesting features. In the first place there was not one man of the forty or fifty present who was not much impressed with the high note of optimism struck by all three of those named, each one of whom has had a great deal of experience, not only of this district, but also many other mining districts in different parts of the world, and are as well technical men of high standing, therefore they spoke with authority and their words consequently carried weight. Each one in turn expressed the greatest possible confidence in the mining future of the Portland Canal, and reaffirmed the statements made to the effeot that the industry of this district is making remarkably rapid progress. All were confident of the permanency of the camp, and its production in a few years of greatly increased quantities of metal. All of this was most gratifying to those present, the whole culminating in an enthusiasm seldom seen, even in Stewart, where every* one is credited by the outside with being an optimist and a booster. Possibly the most significant feature of the proceeding was the initiation of the new organization by men of the calibre mentioned. Such action upon the part of men of their knowledge and experience is (positive proof of the great future that is believed to be the destiny of the district. It is the first time in the history of the camp that a lead of this sort, that has for its purpose the facilitating of development has been given by technical men, and as a result well merits, and will undoubtedly receive, the support of everyone interested in its development. Such an organization will go a very long way toward attracting increased attention to the district's mineral resouroes from the great mining interests of the whole world, and in this respect will greatly facilitate development. It will as well be a medium for the distribution of information that will be of the greatest assistance to all concerned, from the operating company to the rawest prospect, encouraging greater co-operation and collaboration in the solution of problems. Nothing done in recent years is destined to be a greater assistance to the development of this district, than the action taken last week whereby a Stewart local of the Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy was brought into being. As was said time and again by its fathers, Messrs. Major C.B.North, P.E.Peterson, and Wm. Asselstine, "Let us all get together��� engineers, miners, prospectors and Stewart business men���pull together, shove together, as one united body to make this local what the resources of the district merit���the livest local of the Institute in Canada to the end of quickening the development of the great mineral resources we know to here exist." It takes time to build a lode camp, but it can be done. This season will witness development in the Portland Canal district that will convince the most skeptical and make possible the financing of the development of meritorious properties of that district. The Big Missouri, the Victoria, the Independence, will all have large amounts expended in development work under competent supervision and no one familiar with the district questions the outcome. Each shipping mine in the district paves the way for financing another good prospect and this great mineralized area is full of them.���E.W.K. in Alaska Weekly. Now that the storm arranged in the United States against alleged British manipulation of the rubber market has ceased to blind the eyes of competent observers, a genuine. little windstorm is being stirred up against the United States domestic rubber trade. Representative Loring M. Black, Jr.. of New York, is demanding an investigation into the fact that American tires are sold in Great Britain 25 per cent lower than they are sold in the U.S. "Oar committee," he says, "so far has sought to debauch American patriotism for the sake of powerful rubber interests. Let us know whether capital in this country is so minus patriotism as to stir up international discord to enrich itself."

IMS. 6 The mining market, which was being materially affected by the flurry in Alberta oil shares, is rapidly coming into its own. The quietness that has been prevalent the past six months has in no way any connection with the development of the mining industry of this district. Never before in the history of Portland Canal have such extensive ore bodies been exposed or are in the development stage. Take the Dunwell, with large ore reserves blocked out; the B. C. Silver, shipping steadily high grade ore and at the same time blocking out ore reserves; the Big Missouri, carrying out an extensive program af development on well known ore deposits; Eastern capital becoming interested in' the Independence, with plenty of available capital for development, and various other properties in the earlier stages, for instance the Marmot Metals, with a surface showing that is unequalled in the district for magnitude and solidity, carrying commercial values in gold, silver and zinc. The mining situation in the Portland Canal district never looked better, and the outside world is gradually beginning to wake up to the real possibilities of mining in the Portland Canal mineral belt.
