New Policeman Provincia) Constable L. Pot- terton arrived from Prince Rupert last Sanday and was joined Monday night by Mrs Potterton and two children. Mr Potterton has been appointed to Stewart in succession to Constable F. C. Islip, who has left the force to go back to his farm in Alberta. The new incumbent was a member of the Prince Rupert city police force until recently when that force was taken over by the Provincial force. > him is B.N.Sharp, mining engineer, of Spokane. H. Scovil Resigns After having spent the past six years in charge of the road work of the district for the provincial government, Henry Scovil has sent in his resignation to take effect as from the 1st of July, and is to be sucteeded by Hugh McDonald, who has been mining and prospecting in the district for some years, and was one of the contractors who put the road through from Stewart to the old wharf. While Mr McDonald is considered an exceptionally capable man, and his appointment will be popular, still the many friends of Mr Scovil regret very much his resignation and all wish him well on the undertakings he has in view. Mrs A.W.R. Ashley and children returned Sunday from a visit of several weeks with her parents in Maymont, Sask. Miss Esther Peterson, a friend of Mrs Ashley, arrived with her. Dr. C.D.Carter, thewellknown pioneer dentist, is now assoeiat- ed with Dr. LaRue in Ketchikan, having purchased an interest in that business on his return from the Cassiar country. Dr. Carter was here during the stay of the Ketchikan boat Thursday, and says he will be over early in July to attend to dental work. Premier Employe Injured Coming off shift at the Premier mine this evening, Bruce Colquette started for town in one of the aerial tram buckets and was knocked out at Nine Mile, falling 40 feet and breaking both legs above the knees, as well as his left arm and coilar bone. He is being attended at the Premier hospital. survey for which Mr McDonald last year paved the way by a to- I pographical survey commencing jon Portland Canal just south of ' Bulldog creek, taking in the territory drained by it, and working north including the Marmot river section and up Bear river to its source, and Including the tributary creeks. When complete this will be the first geological report upon this section since R. G. McConnell in 1910, and with the amount of development now done should prove of the greatest possible benefit to the mining industry and the district. The advance guard of Doct-r Hanson's party arrived last Monday night in the persons of F. F. Osborne, R. A. Henderson and J. Sinclair of the University of B.C. who have established their first camp on the Canal, south of Marmot river. Baseball is Organized Dr. C. D. Carter will arrive early in July to take care of the dentistry business in Stewart and Hyder. His present address is Box 191, Ketchikan, Alaska. At a well-attended meeting held in Stewart last Friday evening an organization to be known as the Stewart Baseball Club, was formed, and the following officers elected for the season: President, Harry Gibson; Secretary-treasurer.

Don't Forget Dominion Day. PROSPERITY FOR INDEPENDENCE S.P.Fitzgerald, president and managing director of the Independence mining company, arrived this week and verified the report that Detroit and Portland capital had agreed to finance operation of the mine. The sum of $25,000 is to be spent in the first operations, and if these are satisfactory a further $100,000 must be expended to seal the bargain for control of the property. Dalby B. Morkill, Provincial Land Surveyor, is now on the ground surveying out a site for a new tunnel which will be run under the direction of Mr Fitzgerald, with Chas. D. Bush, representing the prospective buyers, as consulting engineer. Mr Fitzgerald spent several days on the property this week, and says he is more than pleased with the progress made and the ore showings exposed since he went south last fall. His brother, Jack Fitzgerald, who has superintended operations and kept the work going sometimes under difficult circumstances, will retire and take over the operation of the Titan property on Fish creek. The tunnel now being laid out is expected to cut the ore showings opened up in the prospect tunnels, at a depth ef 700 feet and with an outlet which will permit of their profitable exploitation. The Independence has always been considered here as a potential mine of the first magnitude. Mr Fitzgerald stated that there is plenty of ore in sight now that could be shipped at a profit, but it is good business to leave this in the ground until facilities are provided for milling the ore bodies as a whole.

Taken all in all the new regulations will prove a great boon to operators and miners alike, and so to the whole mining industry. NEW BLASTING REGULATIONS The Hon. Wm. Sloan, Minister of Mines, is to be congratulated upon his new blasting regulations in and about mines. Heretofore, and even up to the moment that these go into effect, any man who has an abundance of self-assertion and confidence, supported by some little knowledge, possibly just enough to make him dangerous, can, when men are wanted in blasting operations, walk up and make application, claiming he is this or that, and there is no way of proving his statements until it is possibly too late; net only that, but this very quality of audacity may have secured him the position to the detriment of an experienced man, and even to the danger of himself and fellow-workers. This feature of the new regulations therefore is to be very much commended; but in addition there is also the fact that it gives the real miner a rating in such a manner as to protect him not only to a great extent from danger, but also from the unfair competition of the four-flusher, and in the same manner gives the management protection from these same gentlemen, where at the moment there is little or no protection. The regulations appear to be so drawn as to necessitate not only a speaking knowledge of English but also a reading knowledge, before a man can secure the necessary certificate, which is another of its many other good features. Many men are today handling powder throughout NEW SURVEY REGULATIONS In last week's issue the news columns carried an item of news supplied by D. B. Morkill, P.L.S., with reference to the new survey regulations as they affect mining claims, and among other things requiring the driving of an iron post into the ground or rock at the corners ef each claim, in addition to the old-time markings. This iron post shall bear the lot number and corner markings, stamped with a steel die. While to some this procedure may ap* pear as adding to the burdens of a claim- owner, particularly in so far as it is estimated that it means an additional expense in Crown granting of about $20 per claim, still it has its good features, as it establishes permanently the location of the respective corners of a mineral claim. There is no doubt but that the Surveyor General by experience has been given good cause for deciding upon such drastic changes to the Act, and is therefore taking only what has proven to be a necessary step. It is not difficult to imagine that in the recent come-back of the mining industry in the Kootenay and Boundary districts, considerable inconvenience and difficulty have arisen through the fact that boundaries of claims surveyed 25 years and more ago have had to again be run over with instruments before they could be properly established, owing to the original corner markings having for one reason and another disappeared. Such possibilities combined with other conditions have most probably been great contributing factors in deciding the Surveyor General. The choral entertainment given last week by the Stewart Musical Association was a distinct treat to lovers of music; but most important of all is the thus-proven fact that there is existant in Stewart a great deal of musical talent which by co-ordination under capable direction as exhibited by Mrs G.C.Andrew, could be a boon to the whole community. It is therefore to be hoped that last week's performance will prove a forerunner of many more to come, particularly through the winter months. The entire society, both collectively and individually, and the Directress. Mrs Andrew, are to be congratulated upon the splendid showing made last week. I st.

A rich phrase which mining men will enjoy, is that "the ruby silver runs 65 per cent pure." In reporting the most recent development on the Duthie the Interior News of Smithers says: "A sample of ore taken across the vein has been assayed and has returned 2100 ounces of sil- Jjver to the ton." "Exceeding in richness and extent anything yet opened at the Duthie mine or in any part of this district," says the Interior News, "a strike made in the lower workings of that property last week has created a sensation that has only increased as additional reports and samples of ore come down the hill. All is enthusiasm at the mine and interest has been doubled by all in town to whom the success of mining on Hudson Bay mountain means so much, and the strike is sensational in its importance as demonstrating conclusively that the ore on that exceptional property does go down and that values increase at depth. The new strike was made at the compressor level, the lowest j of three tunnels forming the main development of the Duthie mine. This winze had been sunk about 70 feet when Engineer | Turner brought the men back to the 60-foot point and started a j crosscut, and it was in this work that the rich ore was uncovered 1 with a suddeness that set the , whole camp agog.

B. C. Silver and Dunwell are holding favorites and are looked upon as mining investments ef outstanding merit, and the present prices are not expected to last long. Marmot Metals stock slackened off a point, but the cheap offerings were quickly taken up. It appears as if this stock is becoming very scarce and there are no large blocks offering. Reports from the mine are most encouraging. The news that ffnancial arrangements have been successfully completed on Independence caused activity in this stock and higher levels are expected. Lakeview. Indian Porter Idaho are still weak. The market closed as follows: Bid Asked B. C.
