AH of these, with^the exception of the Wire Gold, are situated cn the mountain that lies between the forks of Marmot river. In addition the company has longtime options on other properties which will aggregate 900 acres. The claims include a large part of the ground taken under option two years ago by the Sterling Silver Company, which has been taken over hy the International. To.T) Campbell, who has been connected with mining in the west and northwest for many years, organized the Sterling and is in charge of mining operations for the International. Mr Campbell, who left for Seattle on yesterday's boat has, during the past four yeara, thoroughly acquainted himself with the properties and is convinced that with proper exploitation they will become one of the largest mining operations on the continent. T. S. Waltemeyer of Seattle, himself a practical mining man and metallurgist of many years' experience, is secretary of the company. Mr Waltemeyer was associated with the development of the Greenawalt electrical process of ore extraction, which originated in Denver, Colo, and has proven a gr^at success on ores of every character. When development of the property proves up sufficient tonnage to warrant the installation of a Greenawalt unit, one will be installed On the Marmot. Mr Waltemeyer became interested in this section through the representations of Joe Green, a resident of Hyder and a well known Northerner. The properties taken ever extend from the foot of the mountain practically to its summit. The elevation at the base is 600 -"'eet above sea level, and at the summit over 6000 feet. The E. R.

His whole program has been laid out on the basis of doing a maximum amount of mining at a minimum cost. HATTON--BECKER A wedding of interest was solemnized at the Hyder M. E. Church Nov. 24th by the Rev. S.J.Warren, when Miss Lavinia Becker, second daughter of Mr and Mrs William H. Becker, ol Stewart, and Mr Thomas HattonT formerly of Toronto, and more recently connected with the Dunwell mine, were united in marriage. Miss Jean Becker and Earl Becker, brother and sister of the bride, acted as bridesmaid and best man. The bride's gown was of white duchesse satin and lace and she carried a bouquet of pink and white carnations, while the bridesmaid wore a pretty dress of white silk voile. She also carried white and pink carnations. After the ceremony the bridal party drove over to the home of the bride's parents, which was appropriately decorated for the occasion. Refreshments were served to numerous guests, after which dancing was enjoyed until the small hours. The happy- couple were the recipients of many handsome gifts and good wishes from their numerous friends. Mr and Mrs Hatton left on the Prince Rupert for their honeymoon in Seattle, after which their plans are uncertain. Stewart at 10 a. m. in order to arrive in Vancouver at 9 o'clock Christmas morning. Well, here it is almost the 1st of December and no snow on the flats yet. The past week has been cold enough to freeze outside water pipes. On'Sunday, December 6th, a special musical service, under the leadership of the Rev. A. W. R. Ashley will be held in the United Services Club. GUARD CENOTAPH That the community holds in proud remembrance the sacrifice of those men who made of their bodies a living shield for us, is shown in concrete form by the erection and care of the monument which stands on the Stewart-Hyder road. The cenotaph was designed by S.G.Lawrence and built by the United Services Club in 1924, This autumn the rock was blasted from behind the memorial by the Department of Public Works during the course of their road improvement operations, while eight concrete posts were built in front of the monument, between which chains were to have been hung. These however were considered too low to keep out horses and cattle, and telegraph wire was twisted into a light cable out of which a fence was made in a design of the historic dates, 1914-1918. It is the intention of the Club to have flowers blooming in this enclosure under efficient supervision throughout the season, and toward this a further donation of eight cubic yards of soil, in addition to that already transported by the Club, has been made by Dale L. Pitt. All praise is due S.G. Lawrence for his untiring and artistic work on the memorial. He has had charge of the work since its inception and has made a still further contribution in the donation of a crayon drawing which, when raffled, brought the sum of $35, which will go towards paying for the improvements on the cenotaph. HORN SILVER NOTTHE FIRST Premier Produced Bullion Five Years Before the Similkameen Mine Made Its Display Having watched the loading of several large bricks of bullion on a ship at the Stewart wharf several years ago, it was with some surprise that the writer read the following in the New Westminster Columbian, in an account of the minera! exhibit at the fair held early this fall in that city: "The British Columbia Chamber of Mines has a wonderful display of practically every kind of mineral found in the province from almost all properties which are being operated. The display is in charge of Aid. Frank E. Woodside and Henry Browning of Vancouver, president and secretary of the organization, and includes about 8000 ounces of silver bullion mined from the Horn Silver property at Similkameen, which is owned by A. C. McDougall and associates of Vancouver. The silver is one of the centres of attraction in the mineral section of the Industrial building and added interest is attached to it by reason of the fact that it was obtained by the cyanide process, by which the metal is separated without smelting. The cyanide process was introduced for the first time in British Columbia at the Horn Silver property by Geo. H. Shepherd, metallurgist at that claim. Its use will be of much benefit to silver mining in the province, for it is possible thereby to obtain about 94 per cent of the silver in the crude ore. By the former smelting method a large proportion of the metal in high grade ore was lost." What About Premier? With no thought to disparage the performance of the Horn Silver mine, or to in any way belittle the achievements of G. H. Shepherd, (who, by the way, conducted an assay office here last year,) a letter was sent to the Premier management asking for details as to their experience in the manufacture of bullion, to which the following reply was received: "For your information, the Premier Gold Mining Co., during the early stages of the operation of its mill, melted some of the precipitate from the cyanide department and shipped it as bullion to the Selby smelter at Selby, Cal. "We decided, however, that owing to excellent rates made PREMIER ENTERS MARMOT FIELD An event of importance to the Marmot section occurred this week when the Premier Gold Mining company took an option on the Melvin group of five claims, adjoining the Porter Idaho group on the west, and owned by Mr. and Mrs. N. H. Stevens of Hyder. The terms of the deal are not made public, but it is known that a substantial cash payment was made to hold the ground subject to confirmation of the deal by the head office in New York city. The negotiations were completed Monday and Mm. Stevens left that night for Vancouver, while Mr. Stevens went to Ketchikan. Both have put in considerable time on the property, tracing out a series af veins by open cutting and surface stripping. Seven veins in all were thus disclosed, and assays show that the values carried are principally in gold, the ore differing in this respect from most of that foun J on the north fork of the Marmot, which runs to silver and lead. Basket Ball Banquet This will be a big night in basket ball circles. The two Premier teams and the B. C. Silver team are coming down to join the Stewart team in a banquet at the King Edward cafe and dance afterwards in the opera house. At the banquet the trophy shield, donated by the Canadian Ingersoll Rand to the winning team of the Portland Canal league, will be presented to the Stewart team, who won all but one of the series played last summer, and lost that one by only tvro points. The banquet is to be a stag affair with a charge of $2, which will mclude also a ticket to tbe dance. by the Smelter, and to the possible loss to ourselves by melting precipitate locally, it would be to our advantage to ship the precipitate instead of running it to bullion. There was accordingly only one shipment made. Tnis amounted to 827 pounds containing 375 ounces of gold and 3876 ounce s of silver. The shipment was made in Dec, 1921." So here we have a paradax. The Horn Silver is allegedly making bullion from its precipitates to prevent loss, and the Premier discontinued doing so for the same reason. Moreover we see that the report in the southern paper is incorrect as to the Horn Silver being the first in B.C. to use the cyanide process and to make bullion from the precipitates.

Na Advertising Accepted for First Page INDEPENDENCE ABOUT fifteen years ago Sam and John Fitzgerald drifted into the Portland Canal country and started ont to prospect. They have been in the camp ever since��� and what is more to the point they have been working all the time. Last week a deal was closed under the terms of which New York capital will finance extensive development and the installation of a mill on one of their properties, the Independence. In connection with this latest big development in the Portland Canal section, which in the near future will add another shipping mine to the district's list of producers, there are two or three things worthy of mention. The chief thing is that it demonstrates the truth of our oft-repeated assertion that wherever money is intelligently expended on a prospect in the Portland Canal iietriet the results will more than justify the expenditure. The Fitzgerald boys worked, and for every dollar received for the sale of stock they have put a dollar in the ground on the Independence group of claims, with the result that 1700 feet of underground work and 30 open cuts were ready when the representatives of big cap ital finally came along to look the property over. They have had tough going at times, but they managed to keep a few men working and every foot of tunnel served to farther demonstrate the property Again we want to compliment the Fitzgerald boys on their good common sense in permitting capital to obtain the fifty-one per cent interest necessary to complete the deal. Too many prospectors prefer a 51 per cent interest in a dead prospect to a 49 per cent interest in a developed mine. Capitalists are seldom willing to put large sums of money under the jurisdiction of others, and many a prospector has hung on grimly to the "control" of something not worth controlling when he might readily have had a sizable interest in a going money-making mine. It seems reasonably well assured that the Portland Canal district will soon have another shipping mine and that Sam and John Fitzgerald will in the not too distant future realize a great deal more money for their efforts than they would have realized had they put the money into their pockets instead of into the ground as is the habit of a number of mining promoters we might mention. The work they have already done on another property, the Titan group, has uncovered some mighty good looking ore and we hope that they will be equally successful in the development oi that property���Alaska Weekly. BEARING ON BOOZE The service of the Bank of Montreal is at wide and comprehensive as the postal system itself. This service enables customers living in remote districts to transact their banking by mail as satisfactorily as if they could make personal Write for our folder, "Banking by Mail." The Slocan Record says: "As a rule the liquor sold by the government vendors in small towns is so vile that experienced persons purchase from the "bootlegger" in preference to the public vendor." Isn't our old friend Jim Grier slightly off his base on this subject? We are under the impression that all vendors' stores draw their supplies from the same common source���the government warehouse in Victoria. On a trip outside a year or two ago the writer took along a bottle of-Scotch (in case of sea-sickness) from the Stewart vendor's store. In their consuming joy at his safe arrival in the metropolis, some of his friends brought to his room some more of the same brand, obtained at a Vancouver vendor's store. Once, when the demand exceeded the supply ana the vendor* had closed, one of the party called a number on the phone and within ten minutes a fine-looking gentleman appeared with several life-savers that did not bear the government seal. This was "bootleg" liquor, The dealer in unsealed liquor cannot operate in the smaller towns. Booze there must be obtained from the vendor. As to its subsequent disposition, well, that's another story.

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 Placer gold production of British Golumbia will be greater this year than last, and will approximate in amount the figures of the years 1923-'24, which were the largest since 1917. The two big producers are the Kafue Copper Development Company, operating the dredge on Antler creek, and the Cedar Creek Mining Company, which has a hydraulic operation at the head of Cedar Creek, Quesnel lake. Cedar Cteek Mining Company is developing into something of a wonder mine. It has a record of production a few years asro, but operations ceased for some months and were resumed last January. Up to November 1st, production was 5,071 ounces, or over $101,000. This will be augmented by gold recovered this month and next, for production is steadily going on. This amount of gold was saved by only the simplest of equipment and during the first part of the year appliances were primitive. The richness of the ground is shown by the fact that $1000 a day clean-ups are not infrequent. "I was on the ground a few days ago," R.G.McLeod, mining man, told Western Canada Mining News, "and a cleanup was made while I was there. It amounted to at least $1000 and it was a sight to see the nuggets being picked out." The Kafue dredge will produce between $140,000 and $150,000 worth of gold this year. It worked in rich ground in July, and operations generally throughout the year have been very satisfactory. This dredge will make even a better snowing in the future, and its success is attracting other large companies to the Cariboo district. As noted in last issue the Consolidated M & S Co. is going to work leases held by 1I.E.C. Carry of Vancouver, and in the Antler Creek section. In addition, there are numerous small hydraulic operations conducted by individuals which result in much gold being recovered No report has come in yet of the result of the operations of the Discovery Mi'iing & Power Company, Pine Creek, Atlin. This is financed by C. V. Bob of j New York, who controls the En- , gineer mine, the operator in j charge being Andrew Sostad of j Vancouver. It was expected that the ground to be worked would be productive, as it was well known. With placer operations progressing near Cranbrook, near Vernon, in the Coquhalla district. Cariboo. Omineca and Cassiar, there is every indication that production of gold from this source will form a more important part in the total of the year's mining operations. The first shipment of ore is being made from the mine at Kalum lake, near Terrace, by Hopper, Davis & Co. Work has been going on there for two years. R. Farnum, mining engineer, is in charge. Work on the Monarch mine, near Field, has been suspended for the winter. The mine is being operated by A. B. Trites and promises to again become a big producer. f % In the Center of Everything HOTEL ST. REGIS Vancouver Corner Seymour and Dunsmuir Streets.

Local Stocks (By H. W. M. Rol ston & Co) Nothing fo extra comment took place on the southern markets during the past week, though all the local stocks were in good demand and trading was brisk in Premier, Dunwell and Independence. It is rumored that Premier interests have taken over control of the Melvin property on the north fork of Marmot river and adjoining the Porter Idaho Mining Co. Ltd. Most of the inquiries coming into camp at the present time are on Marmot river properties. What has been of interest to note lately is the amount of Premier stock that is being taken up locally and at the Premier Mine. With the last call on the Dunwell stock being'due on November 23, '26, the stock is rapidly strengthening and when the mill starts operating this stock will react very rapidly. The present market value of Dunwell is no where near its intrinsic value. The market closed as follows: Bid Asked B. C.
