The announcement by the sponsors of this enterprise that they will be able to treat all kinds of complex ores and pay full value for the mineral contents, will lend new hope to those property owners who for years have faced the problem of either treating their ores on the ground and separating them into their various mineral constituencies, or else shipping ore in the crude state and facing heavy penalties imposed by the smelters, often with injustice, but against which an appeal would be worse than useless. At least sixty per cent of the ores in this district carry lead and zinc in combination. Heretofore one or the other of these minerals was a total loss to the shipper, besides decreasing the amount of payment on the mineral saved. Many ores assaying up to $100 and better per ton cannot now be shipped at a prefit for this reason, and the cost of installing separation plants is beyond the means of most operators. It takes no great imagination to forsee what an impetus will be lent to mining here when the values in these ores can be recovered in full. Ladysmith is also within reasonable shipping distance, and shipping costs should be reduced to the extent of being practically an unimportant factor of expense. The Ladysmith smelter was taken over by a syndicate headed by Herbert Carmichael, former Provincial Assayer, and H. B. Thompson. They have secured the services of David McBride, metallurgist and ore expert, who will have charge of the new reduction plant, and who this week gave out the following statement in Victoria: "I've just come from Colorado and Utah where the separation and treatment of intimate mixtures of lead and zinc ores is a very live question," Mr McBride said. "Hitherto such ores have been roughly concentrated and smelted, with a great loss of either the lead or zinc, and some ores have been so complicated that they could not be treated at all.

RUSHING WORK ON THE DUNWELL With the Crawford Transfer Co. hauling timbers day and night from the dock to the Dunwell concentrator, things are! humming in and about the Dunwell operation. The foundation timbers for the mill are now laid and construction well under way. The right of way for the tram is cleared. A Iarge tonnage of ore is already developed in the mine, and being increased at a rapid rate every day. Old Tillicums Get Together Wm. S. Armstrong, representing the International Typographical Union, arrived from Vancouver Tuesday for a week's visit. He is going over the camp with Peck McSwain, the two having known each other since long before Peck published a faked story ab��ut President Harrison's assassination and beat it before an enraged public could decide on whether to reward him with burning at the stake or just plain hanging. That was in the days when any woman who put powder on her face was considered a dissolute character. Bar property, in which they are heavily interested. E. A. Haggen, prominent mining engineer and publisher of Mining and Industrial Record, arrived from Vancouver Saturday to make an examination of the Albany property. The Hyder Dock Company are planning extensive improvements to their dock which will involve an expenditure of be- l tween five and ten thousand dollars, and giving the dock a frontage of 250 feet and greatly enlarged wharfage facilities. "Paddy O'Dowd" the Hyder race horse, had revenge for the many times he has been beaten by "Flossie," of Stewart, in the past three years. The race was run Wednesday night, twice around the Stewart track, a distance of 3600 feet, and Paddy an easy winner. Mr and Mrs Wm. Irwin of Toronto arrived Saturday for a visit with their son William. Though he has passed the age of three score years and ten, Mr Irwin Senior looks as though he might still he able to take a fall out of his husky mine-manager son, whom he had not seen for thirty years. Mickey Nash and Ed Fernald returned Monday from a trip to Georgia river, where Mickey recently located an immense quartz vein that looks like it might be tne mother lode of that spciiuo A fine ore display, consisting of several hundred pounds from the Marmot Metals, was placed in the News windows yesterday for a temporary sojourn before being sent to the Vancouver Exhibition. A. N. McDonald writes from Rupert that he has undergone an operation, having the bone of his injured leg scraped and chiseled, and that he expects to be out of the hospital in about three weeks. Under the leadership of Rev. A. W. R. Ashley, the Stewart troop of Boy Scouts left Monday morning for a week's outing at Georgia river. They were taken to their camp site by Sam McNeil with his launch. WM. H, LONGLEY DIESJN HYDER William H. Longley was found dead in his cabin in Hyder last Saturday evening by Jack Fitzgerald, who had engaged him to take supplies in to the Titan property on Fish creek and get the camp ready for operations to commence. Coming down from the Independence Saturday morning Mr Fitzgerald found that Longley had purchased the supplies, and learning Saturday evening that he had not called for them at the Province store, led to his making an investigation and finding the body. Death was evidently due to cerebral hemmorhage. Deceased was a man of exemplary habits and a quiet disposition. Coming to the district from McCarthy, Alaska, several years ago, he conducted a barber shop in Hyder for a time, later working at the Independence mine. Before going to McCarthy he had lived for a number of years in Anchorage. Alaska. He was born in Kansas City, Missouri, was 55 years old, and is survived by a widow, who lives jn Seattle, and a brother, R. C. Longley, in Pond Creek, Okla. The funeral will take place in Hyder at 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon, July 17, under the auspices of the Masonic Club. STARTING WORK ON SILVER BASIN Liberal Delegates At a meeting of the Stewart Liberal Association last night delegates to the nominating convention to be held in Rupert on July 24 were elected as follows: W. R. Tooth, G. W. Smith, J. P. Hawkinson and Miss Kate Ryan. Jack Fitzgerald started development work this week on the Silver Basin group of claims which is owned by himself and his brother, S.P.Fitzgerald. The group consists of six claims and is joined on the south by the Day group, recently acquired by the Big Missouri Mining Co.; on the east by three claims of the Big Missouri and the Hercules group. It is one of the old locations of the camp, and has some very promising showings. Forest Officials Visit Ranger Calvert and Forest Inspector Barclay visited Stewart during the week, arriving Thursday morning on the Forest Service launch Lillian D. Mr Barclay is in charge of the records department of the Forest Branch in Victoria; he is now making a prolonged tour of the mining districts of B. C. in connection with the controversy that has engaged the attention of the Lands and Mines Departments for some time as to the extent to which mining operators are entitled to free timber. Mr Calvert is well known here through his periodical visits as Ranger in charge of the district, DEVELOPING THE RUTH &JRANCIS J. H. Nesbitt is developing hig Ruth and Francis group near the head of the south fork of Glacier creek, four miles beyond the Dunwell mine. The work now being done consists of driving a tunnel to get under the ore already shown up in a tunnel further up the creek, near the intersection of two veins, where six feet of an antimonial silver- lead ore give an average of over $70 per ton. The property is well situated, at an elevation of 3400 feet at the camp, with ample timber and water, on a nice easy slope well adapted for buildings, and so located that a gravity tram could be constructed straight down to the wagon road near the Dunwell mill. No angles would be necessary. The property presents a very interesting geolocical and miner- alogical condition, containing the Bitter creek argillites and some Bear river greenstone, the whole intersected by innumerable dykes. There are three large copper veins on the upper end of the property, and two high-grade galena veins lower down, one of which shows a considerable amount of silver chlorides from which very high assays have been secured. The Ruth and Francis looks like one of the most promising properties of the camp. New Manager for L & L H. J. Thomey, manager of the Dunwell for some time, and later of Victoria mines, returned Saturday from Victoria where he spent the winter. For about two months he was in a hospital as a result of plunging into a river with an automobile. He has taken over the management of the L&L Glacier Creek, Wm. Irwin having resigned to take charge of another enterprise. Victoria Mines Directors At a recent meeting of Victoria Mines Ltd. held in Victoria, an entirely new board of directors was elected as follows: Arthur E. Haynes, Mrs J. E. Holley, Frank Coleman, Horace W. Miller, Andrew McGavin and Francis J. O'Reilly. School Election At a meeting of the School Board held last Tuesday H. P. Gibson was elected a member of the Board, viee John Mellor, retiring. Walter Broad was elected auditor. Mrs C.E.Hill of Tacoma arrived Saturday for a visit with her sister, Mrs J. L.

Another satisfaction in connection with this new project is the possibility of its hastening the reported plans of the Trail Consolidated, which owns or controls the Sunloch property on the south end of Yaneouver Island, and the Old Sport, now known as the Coast Copper, on the north end, where, on Quatsino Sound, it is reported that the erection of a smelter is now being planned. Quatsino Sound is on the west coast of Vancouver Island, some 300 miles north of the city of Victoria. If both these smelter projects are carried through to a successful conclusion, B.C. coast mining will experience tremendously rapid growth within the next few years, for then B.C. capital will not only be profitably invested to a very considerable extent in mining, but also in smelting, which will in turn result in far more money than ever being available for the development qf the vast mineral resources of this Province. DALBY B. MORKILL MINING SURVT 70B B. C. Land Surveyor STEW AST, B. C. LOOKING FORWARD The report in this week's issue of the reopening of the Ladysmith smelter by a Victoria syndicate or company headed by Herbert Carmichael, late Provincial Government Assayer, and H. B. Thompson, Canada's war-time Food Controller, and the installation therein of a new and much improved treatment for complex ores, is one of the best news items that the mining industry of the British Columbia coast has received for a long time. This new treatment, whioh is reported to be operating very satisfactorily in South Africa, where, by the way, it is understood to have originated, and in the States, is, as reported, a big improvement over present methods, and results in a greater percentage of recovery from complex ores, that is, a combination of ores that carry values ln gold, silver, lead, zinc and copper, the first four of which are very common in this district, as well as the whole coast. Another feature well worthy of note is the fact that it will be located at the seaport town of Ladysmith, on the east coast of Vancouver Island, roughly fifty miles north of Victoria, which as a result will mean very greatly reduced transportation rates from districts such as this. This consideration, coupled with a more complete metal recovery from the ores, will prove the greatest possible boon and stimulus to coast mining, and enable the operation at a profit of properties at present closed down. To date coast mining has suffered for want of just such facilities, the news of the providing of which will prove most welcome, even though it may take some A. T. MILLER I Successor to G. H.

A number of our readers will no doubt be on each side of the political fence, and consider political arguments of paramount importance, looking for such in these editorial columns. Such of our readers are, we are afraid, doomed to disappointment and will find that they will have to look to the political parties and the politicians for a presentation of the various arguments. That is their business. The business of the Portland Canal News is to lend every possible assistance to the development and upbuilding of the district immediately tributary to Stewart, as well as Northwestern British Columbia. We endeavor to give our readers an honest and unbiased account of all the developments and happenings of this district, and in regard to politics will mete out like treatment to all parties through the news columns, confining the editorial columns to the purpose for which the paper is published. Our readers are scattered from the shores of the Arctic Ocean to those of the Gulf of Mexico, and from San Francisco to Geneva, Switzerland. Forty per cent of our subscribers are not in Canada, and subscribe to this journal for news of the development of this dis- trict. Every man to his own job. The setting forth of political arguments is the work of political parties. The work of this publication is the assisting in the development and the building up 0f this and other sections of Northwestern B.C., and this work is not going to be allowed to suffer for the sake of gratifying the wishes of those who consider the welfare of this or that political party ahead of the progress and development of this district. Possibly the companies operating in B.C., which get their stationery in Spokane, do not know that printed matter coming into Canada from a foreign country must state the country in which it was printed, just as any other manufactured goods must benr a label stating where made. For example, stationery from Spokane must have printed on it, "Printed in U.S.A." A fine of $1000 can be imposed for each offence upon the person using stationery not properly labeled, if printed in a foreign country! Sloean Record.

"Leaching the finely-divided ore by chemical solvents has been the line taken by many chemists, and we have these divided more or less into groups, which I might call the acid leachers and the alkaline leachers, the object being in some cases to prepare a solution for precipitation by electricity, and in others the precipitation of a metallic salt or oxide, useful in the arts, without converting it into metal. For instance, oxide of zinc and basic j sulphate of lead can be made and largely used as paint bases without first being converted into metal. "From a study I have made of the British Columbia mines reports, and from the mineral I have seen in the provineial exhibit in Victoria, I would say* that these ores of British Columbia present quite as complex a problem as those of Colorado and Utah, and that the solving of the problem will mean a great deal to the developing of new mines, and increasing the output of those already shipping. "Ladysmith seems to me mirably situated for an ore duction plant, and when mine owners find that they get paid for a fair percentage of both the zinc and lead in their mixed ores, it will undoubtedly stimulate production and usher in a new era for mines of the coast. "With the reconstruction of the plant at Ladysmith there will be an entirely new method of ore treatment, which should be profitable to that concern, while at the same time sharing that profit with the mine owners. The initial plant will require to be sufficiently flexible to treat the variety of ores offering on the coast ad- re- the can and capable of expansion to suit the kind and qnantity of mineral development by the mines."
