VOL. 8, NO. 20 STEWART, BRITISH COLUMBIA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1926 $5 THE YEAR���10c. the Copy HIGH RETURNS FROMSMELTER First Shipment From New Vein on the Porter Idaho Brings Home Check for More Than $10,000 A nice little check from the Trail smelter for over $10,000 was received this week by the Porter Idaho management for the first 40 tons of ore shipped this year. The smelter assay returns show that the ore netted $265 per ton after deducting freight and treatment charges. The high-grade mine is keeping up consistent shipments of 20 tons weekly, and has enough ore in sight to keep all the pack horses procurable busy until winter closes the trail. MARMOTMETALS TUNNEMN ORE Angus McLeod, managing director of the Marmot Metals Co. who came down from the property last week-end, reported that the tunnel, which is being driven to explore one of the four parallel veins at depth, cut the ore at a depth of 60 feet below the surface, and that the ore has an average value ot $20.44 in silver and zinc, the latter metal predominating. The vein at this point has a width of eight feet, and like all veins widens and narrows, as has been proven by open cuts made in it where traced on the surface for 500 feet in elevation up the mountain. An interesting feature in connection with Marmot Metals during the past month has been unsolicited inquiries from several operating companies as to whether control of this property can be purchased. As control of this company is still in the treasury, it is altogether possible that the question of selling control to an operating company will be among the items considered at the annual meeting, which will probably be held in November. Incorporation Mass Meeting A mass meeting of tax payers and residents of Stewart has heen called for 8 p.m., Tuesday, Oct. 12 in Moose Hall, for the Purpose of discussing the Village Incorporation Act. as it affects Stewart As is well known, the Board of Trade has been making a study of thia question for near- -y a year, and has compiled a great deal of information on the subject that should be of great interest to the entire community. POPULAR YOUNG COUPLE MARRIED St. Marks Church which, since its erection in 1910. has heen the scene of so many happy ceremonies, was the setting for one of the most interesting of them all when, on Monday evening, the Rev. A. W. R. Ashley joined in marriage Edith Margaret Crawford, eldest daughter of Mr and Mrs W.J.Crawford, and Louis A. Behnsen. son of C. L. Behnsen, of Haro street, Vancouver. Miss Muriel Crawford and Ross Nicholson were bridesmaid and groomsman; W. Esselmont and Max Armour acted as ushers, and J. Crawford and H. P. Gibson signed the register as witnesses. The church was beautifully decorated with autumn leaves, potted plants and late flowers, most of which had been sent down from the Premier for the occasion by Mrs Dale# L. Pitt. Mendelssohn's Wedding March, played by Mrs Gibson, heralded the coming of the bride and her maid of honor. At the conclusion of the ceremony the choir sang the hymn: "O, Perfect Love" and during the signing of the register Mrs G.C.Andrew sang "Oh, Promise Me" and the bride and groom made their exit to the "Wedding March" of Lohengrin. Miss Crawford, who was given away by her father, never looked more charming. Her wedding dress was of white silk, being sleeveless with berthe of silk net havihg on one shoulder a rose of the silk, with rhinestone centre backed by a bow of silver ribbon. The skirt was full and scalloped with a broad edge of silk net upon which, one beneath each scallop, were roses and silver ribbon. The waist was outlined with silver leaves, centering on a rhinestone ornament, from which fell a cluster of silver ribbons. With the gown were worn silver slippers. The bride carried a bouquet of pink roses and maiden-hair fern, and wore the traditional veil of silk net, with lace cap and wreath of orange blossoms. The bridesmaid's dress was of orchid crepe de ehine and silk, being sleeveless, with pointed bodice and full skirt. She also wore silver slippers and carried pink roses and maiden-hair fern. Mrs W.J.Crawford, mother of the bride, wore a black satin dress with high neck and flared skirt, trimmed with champagne crepe de chine. The gown was beautifully embroidered with golden flowers and apliqued apple- green leaves edged with gold. Miss Helen Crawford, younger Miss Clippingdale left for Vancouver last Sunday. Barney Smith of Hyder hasj returned from Ketchikan. Mrs Ed Stark left on the Cardena for a visit in Vancouver. A government crew has gone up to complete the Dunwell road. Mrs J. Campbell and daughter, Miss May, returned Sunday from Vaneouver. There will be a flag-pole rais Van- have O. W. Chapman left for couver Sunday. Novelties for Hallowe'en arrived at Gibson's store. Wm.

C.S.Rankin, assistant manager of the fire insurance department of Ceperley, Rounsfell & Co., Vancouver, is spending the week in Stewart on business connected with his firm. The story editor of the News might write a yarn about a housewife who went away for a weekend trip and left her husband a pot of beans to keep him from straying, softening them with washing soda instead of baking soda. Discretion and a natural timidity advise, however, that this story be left untold. from Vancouver Sunday. E. A, Haggen M.E. of Vancouver arrived Suuday to make an examination of the Albany. Ed McLaren, carpenter at the Premier, left for Hazelton Monday night to look after his property interests. H.W.M.Rolston this week purchased the Are and accident insurance business of F. E. Gigot in the Portland Canal, Anyox and Alice Arm districts. B.G.Raymond of Seattle, president of the Commonwealth mining company, and Capt E. Sherman, a heavy shareholder, arrived Sunday and have gone down to the property, which is situated on the Alaskan side eight miles below Hyder. TEACH CHILDREN FIRE PREVENTION This being "Fire Prevention Week" the school trustees, P. S. Jack. H. P. Gibson and W. R. Tooth, accompanied by Constable Potterton, deputy fire marshal, visited the school last Wednesday and gave short talks to the children on fires, the damage they do, and means of preventing them. L. M. Gordon, school principal, preceeded the visitors, explaining the purpose and idea of the week, and the government school competition for the best essay on the subject, for which a medal will be awarded. OVER-DOSE OF QUININE FATAL sister of the bride, wore a dress of apricot crepe de chine over rose, giving a fiame colored effect, the skirt being flared. Almost all Stewart attended the ceremony and the reception given afterwards at the home of the bride's parents, when refreshments were served, Mrs Crawford being assisted by Mrs R. T. Crosby, Mrs M. J. Esterly Mrs E.L.Dale aud the Misses Muriel and Helen Crawford. As proof of the interest and affection evinced by friends and rela- (Continued on Page 4) J.F.Bowman, carpenter at the Big Missouri, died at the mine, after a short illness, at 8 o'clock on the morning of Oct. 1. He was 58 years old and his mother, his only known living relative, resides at Harwood, Oregon, to where the remains will be sent. A coroner's jury, empanelled by Coroner Dr. H. A. Whillans of Stewart, brought in a verdict of poisoning from an over-dose of quinine, taken while in a weakened condition, due to a heavy cold. Dr. Carson, of Premier, was in attendance, but when summoned the patient was beyond human assistance. PROSPECTING SILVER BELL E.G. Riebe, Seattle mining engineer, who has charge of the Silver Bell in this district, and is also developing a gold property near Juneau, Alaska, has coined a new phrase. When asked why he did not get busy and open up the upper showings of the Silver Bell, he said it was his ambition to get away from the "cost of high mining." In common with many properties of this camp, the first ore discoveries on the Silver Bell were made above timber line, where the overburden is light and prospectiag easy. Operating costs at such elevations are heavy on account of excessive transportation charges. This fall Mr Riebe had John Haahti in charge of a crew for several weeks tracing out the ore showings that trended down the hill, and prospecting in order to establish a permanent working location as near tidewater as it is possible to find ore. The work has been successful in tracing at least one of the veins down to within 800 feet of Portland Canal. The Silver Bell adjoins the Silverado on the south, and is owned by a Seattle company, of which Leroy M. Backus, son ef the president of the National Bank of Commerce in Seattle, is president. The property carries a series of veins, with seme spectacular ore such as is found on the Silverado, but it is the contention of Mr Riebe that large bodies of commercial ore, even though medium or low grade, make the mines, rather than the small shoots of high-grade, and for the three years he has been connected with the Silver Bell he has been studying geological conditions and working out the vein systems with a view to permanent work on a large scale. Starting at an elevation of 3700 feet the veins have been stripped and crosscut on the surface along and down the mountainside, and at 800-foet elevation Mr Riebe says he will establish a camp next spring and start real mining on a commercial scale. Machinery will be installed and three veins that can be reached from this elevation will be thoroughly developed. PROGRESS ON SILVER CREST In response to a request for authentic information as to developments on the Silver Crest, the News has received the following information: A contract was let to sink a shaft alongside the high grade vein from which a trial shipment running $175 per ton was sent to the Selby smelter last fell. At 25 feet depth in this shaft it was found that the vein was flattened out with a dip of about 10 degrees to the west. A sample across four feet at the bottom of the shaft went $5.60 in gold and 61.4 ez. silver, a total of $43.67 per ton. A vein carrying good values in gold and silver on the Bella Coola claim of the Silver Tip group has been traced into the September claim of the Silver Crest group and exposed in several open cuts. A sample from the bottom of one of these cuts across six feet assayed $62.40, $4 of which is in gold yalues. A crosscut is now being driven from a point 90 feet from the portal of our lower tunnel ttrthe west for the purpose of tapping this vein at depth, the estimated distance being 150 feet, for which a contract has been let. This crosscut had not been driven very far before a two-foot vein which did not show on the surfrce was encountered and passed through, This assayed, across the two feet, $86.68 per ton, $4.40 of which is in gold. We have also done considerable prospecting on the northern part ef our property, which has resulted iu uncovering several good quarts ledges carrying fair gold values which have been traced fer several hundred feet on the Hessite, Stephanite and Native claims. The directors are very well pleased with the results being obtained, and work will be carried on throughout the winter, contracts being let for additional tunnel work after the present 150 feet of crosscut has been finished.

At present, however, the great expense of a deep shaft to reach even the present level of working, at 6700 ft., apparently stands in the way of its being attempted, although if the future of the "mine should be in any way comparable to the past, it would still pay to do so.

General information of the PORTLAND CANAL DISTRICT supplied on application to the Secretary, Stewart, B. C. Board meets 1st and 3d Tuesdays of each month, Board Rooms Down in Peru, where L Jessen has been for the past six months they start operations at an elevation that up here is considered just about the limit for successful mining, and which is in faet about the height of the mountains in this district. Mr Jessen is managing director of Boyles Bros. Limited, who have done nearly all the diamond drilling in the Portland Canal section. Originally an American company, with headquarters in Spokane, Boyles Bros., after more than a quarter century of ; "looking into the earth" throug- out the northwest, has been ac- ! quired by Messrs Jessen, Jack- I son and Sweeney, and is now strictly a Canadian company with headquaiUjrs in Vancouver. Mr Jessen's mission in Peru was in connection with the company's operations on the property ofthe Northern Peru Mining & Smelt- ing Co., a subsidiary of the Anv I erican Smelting & Refining Co., i more familiarly known as "The Guggenheims," Incidentally, Beyles Bros, have extended their field into Newfoundland, where Denny Jackson is now in charge I of extensive drilling operations. Concerning Peru, Mr Jessen says the seaport town is Trujillo, frem whence a narrow-guage railway 20 miles in length extends to the company's headquarters, at an elevation of 4500 feet above sea level. Here is located the concentrating mill, and the lower terminal of an aerial tram, built in three sec tions for a distance of 35 miles up to an elevation of 13,500 feet, with plans made for a further extension up te 14,500 feet ele- v at ion, where one of the wonders of the world for a situation such as this, a coal mine, exists. At this altitude, which cannot be reached by many employes of the company, one may look south at the real mountains, which are snow clad and attain an elevation of 22,000 feet. Around the mine workings the country is mostly rolling and grassy, furnishing sustenance for flocks of sheep and llamas. It is easy for a stranger to lose his way, as the mountainsides are seamed with old trails, some of them worn to a depth of 12 feet. A fascinating feature of the section is the old Inca roads and irrigation systems. The sourees of water which supplied the latter have entirely disappeared. Many of the old employes of the Premier Gold Mining Co. are with the Peru concern. Tom Graham, who built the Premier tram, is there, also his son Wylie who was the flrst tram superintendent here. Wayne Graham helped in the Peru construction, but has come north again. Preston Locke is general manager of the Peru works, and Dick Lee, J.A.Mitchell and Capt. Means are among the oldtime Portland Canal residents employed there. Mr Jessen says the operators there work under a terrific expense, and receive no governmental aid in the way of roads and trails. During his six months absence Mr Jessen looked over a great many mining camps, and says the Portland Canal district looks better to him than ever.

His voice was ruined long ago���he needs to have it filed���and when he croaks his notes of woe, he darn near drives me wild. I'd rather have some drunken stiff on my verandah sing, and now and then my wash-tub biff, and dance a jigg, by jing!
