Brady Wins Over Stork In Skeena Riding PLEASED WITH CHIEF METALS Prince Rupert, Sept.16.���The election returns to date give the following results: Liberals, 119; Liberal Progressives, 11; Conservatives, 91; Progressives. 8; United Farmers, 11; Labor, 2; Independent, 2. Mr King will have 129 members pledged to his support, therefore the resignation of the Meighan Government is expected at the earliest possible date. J. C. Brady, Coaservative, is undoubtedly electrd in Skeena riding. With a number of small polls to hear from, Mr Brady is today leading by something like 250. Later returns cannot make much change. Highly pleased with their visit to the property of the Chief Metals Mining Co., situated a short distance southeast of the Big Missouri, and with the outlook for the district in general, a GREAT FIND ON OUTLAND SILVER BIG SHOWINGS ON DALHOUSIE Development work on the Dalhousie group this summer has disclosed the presence of three distinct ore deposits, all differing in character, but each worthy of extensive exploration. W.A.Pratt of Vancouver, who is! party of heavy shareholders left heavily interested in the property and has spent most of the summer there, has brought in a display of samples from the var- ious veins.

He says there is a belief there that the Premier Gold Mining Co. are about to take over the development of the Toric mine. Bert F. Smith, superintendent of the Premier, recently examined the Toric, and on his suggestion some shots were put in that resulted in disclosing the richest ore ever discovered on that property, Mr Smith took 900 pounds of this ore out with him. Mr Reynolds says he was familiar with the Dolly Varden mine in its palmiest days, and that no ore ever produced by that famous property could excell that found in the Toric, in the quantity of native silver contained. The Norco took out 41 tons of Riverside concenrrates. Boy Scouts Cabaret Dance at 9:30 sharp in the Opera House next Friday night.

Another vein nine feet wide has heen traced for a distance of assertion that nowhere in the famous mining districts can the extent of mineralization and general value of the ores compare with the Portland Canal district. "If this section lay anywhere in the States," he said, "there hotel | and crosscuts run. The find was made well up on the mountain and an open cut 12 feet in length put in without locating either wall of the vein. Two hundred feet down the hill from this some shots were put into the capping and the same character of ore disclosed.

Both Mr Nor- been partially exposed by open ton and Mr Ebbinghouse are sat- cutting, but Mr Pratt says thelisfied that in the Chief Metals extent of this can best be determined by diamond drilling which it is expected will be undertaken next year. Before starting to mine, a good trail was built from the foot of the mountain to the property, and a log camp constructed at an elevation of 2200 feet. This work consumed considerable time but is of a permanent nature and an asset for the future. SUCH IS LIFE IN STEWART "Rap-rap-rap" resounded on the cabin wall. "Darn that woodpecker" said the toiler to himself. He had been lying awake for five minutes trying to make up his mind to get up and light a fire. "Rap-rap-rap." The Rib awoke with a start. "Who's there?" she demanded "Rap rap-rap." "Who is it?" "Rap-rap-rap." "If you wont tell who you are and what you want, you can just keep on knocking." So the woodpecker kept on knocking.

Emil Davis, manager of the property, reports that the tunnel is now in 185 feet, following a vein that varies from four to six feet in width and carries values from a few dollars up to $65 per ton. The program laid out for next year includes the construction of a power plant and the installation of a compressor and machine drills. RECONNOITER1NG TELEGRAPH TRAIL The reeonnaisance party for a route for a trail from Stewart to Telegraph Creek, left last week consisting of Tom McLean in charge, with Tim Williams and Alex Mclnnes, both men who know the back country well, having prospected and trapped in it for years. The party will first proceed to Meziadin lake, from which point they will explore the country oyer to Bowser lake for a better route than now exists. From Bowser lake they will try and locate the best route through to a point somewhere near the 9th cabin on the Telegraph trail. Great satisfaction at this reeonnaisance being made is felt locally. For years the C.F.Hibbard, a prominent fur man of Seattle, who has made a great deal of money in mining, is heavily interested in the Outland Silver Bar, and upon receipt of the news of this recent strike came up to see it. Last fall, when this vein was unknown, and before the present season's work bad greatly improved the ore showings on the veins previously located, Mr Hibbard declared himself as determined to "go the limit" on this property. "I seem to have a faculty for picking winners," he said, "and am satisfied that this is another one." Pat McBride, known all over the northwest as a successful prospector and a good judge of mineral properties, says the new vein on the Outland Silver Bar is the "biggest thing" he has seen in the country. SEATTLE CO. ONJARMOT Thos. Campbell, well known mining man, who is heavily in- terested in the Marmot river section, returned from the south Monday night after an absence of more than a year, and will engage in active development on a group of Marmot river claims for a Seattle company. He will first examine the work dene during the summer on the various claims of the group, and then decide upon his program, which is already determined to the extent of putting on a crew to work until the snow drives them off the hill. The result of this will to an extent determine the character and location of the development to be started next spring, for which the company have already provided funds. However, should he be able to open up shipping ore in a spot from which the ore can be safely moved during the winter season, work will continue throughout the winter. Farewell Party Many Stewart people spent a very enjoyable evening at the home of Mr and Mrs S. Smith. The event was a farewell party to Geo. Rowland, who expects to leave Stewart next Sunday. It was a lively affair from the start, games and dancing occu- pyingimost of the evening. Many regrets were expressed at the loss of one who has become so much a necessary part of the community life. the Stewart Board of Trade, and residents here as well as Telegraph Creek, have been trying to get this trail, which will make accessible a large, important country, It is hoped that next year construction of the trail News, I will be undertaken. BIG TIME AT HICK DANCE The Hick Hard Times Dance given last evening by the Stewart Basketball Club was a huge success. The club's splendid five-piece orchestra supplied the music for the crowded floor of dancers, and kept up the enjoyment until the wee sma' hours. The supper tables were placed down the center ot the floor, on which a supper, served by the girl members of the club, of baked beans, with a keg of cider in a corner. Original and comic costumes were the feature of the event, Ross Nicholson being the hit of the evening, dressed as a farmer shiek. (Some say it came natural to him.) A number of prizes were awarded, Jas. Morice getting 1st for gentlemen, as a chicken inspector, (for which position it is stated he is well qualified.) Miss Thelma Burleigh of Hyder won first prize for ladies' costume, being dressed as a hard times cow girl. The first prize in the lucky number dance was won by Margaret Jancowski and Bernie McDonald, and the second by Bonnie Campbell and Johnny Donahue. Three prizes were awarded in the next lucky number dance: 1st by Violet Watson and E.R.Stivers; 2nd by Mrs Blue and Mr Inkman and 3d by Miss Mutas and an officer of the S.S. Mogul. The affair was declared by all to be one of the best, and great SITUATION ON THEDUNWELL Managing Director Tells of Plan to Raise $70,000.00 And Reasons for New Stock Issue R.M.Stewart, managing director of the Dunwell mines, in a statement recently given to the Victoria press, said that any little excitement concerning the Dunwell can only proceed from a lack of knowledge of the exact situation of the company's affairs caused through wild reports and rumors. Mr Stewart explained that in carrying out the plan of development, which included the erection of an up-to-date mill, power plant and tram line, provision is being made for blocking out ore bodies in the mine so that, once work is started, there will be no let-up from lack of ore supply. This makes it necessary, in the opinion of the directors, to have an additional $70,000, or ten percent of the present capitalization. The proposition for the absorption of this amount is to offer this to the present shareholders on easy terms, pro rata to the holdings they now have. This matter, the statement asserts, and the whole situation, will be laid before a meeting of the shareholders at the earliest opportunity. The development account that has absorbed the surplus capital really constitutes an investment in the mine. It has been carried out under the instructions of Matthew Little, engineer in charge, and has been done to ensure a continuous supply of 100 tons of ore per day for the mill, the building of which has been completed and machintry ordered, the delivery and installation of which are now being awaited. Geological Party Leaves Having finished their work for this season the geological survey party headed by Doctor Hanson left for the south Saturday. Dr. Hanson's assistant, F.F.Osborne will go to Yale to complete the course for his Doctor's degree; the other members of the party, Robt. Henderson and Jas. Sinclair, have homes in Vancouver.

F. "Dick" Sullivan and Jess Set- terington on the glacier at the head of the west fork of Sutton river, which drains into Hastings Arm. The glacier is about IJ miles wide, and while crossing it at a point some four miles from its foot, about half way across they came upon the remains of two canvas kit bags, two canvas coats a badly rusted automatic pistol, hair brush, rotten remains of underwear and other clothing, ��� fishing rod and a rotten prospec- ; tor's hand book. Close to tbe spot was a large, deep hole in the ice. The clothing etc had the appearance of having lain on the ice for perhaps as long as nine years. Down near the foot of the glacier they found fan old hand sleigh, some three miles from the clothing but with impassable ice between. The first articles had been scattered, as though the people to whom they belonged were in trouble and had left suddenly, going through their kit hurridly before leaving. The fact that no cooking utensils were to be found would support this theory. If the men had been coming up the ice from Hastings Arm it is hardly likely that they would have left their sleigh at the foot, and if they had been going d*-wn the ice they would not have left their kit when they had a sleigh to take it on. Then again, the ice being bad between the two points, they would not have taken a sleigh over it; therefore the possibility offers that the sleigh and the clothing had nothing to do with each other. The manner in which the cloth- | ing etc was scattered would indicate the possibility of aome one having been lost in a fog or caught in a snow storm and run short ef food, and as a result being badly up against it. On the other hand there is the possibility of a quarrel or perhaps one man going into a crack in the ice, and the remaining man, having too much stuff to take out, left what he did not need, theugh even with this he would hardly have left his own as well as his partner's coat behind, as was apparently done. Inquiries made among the old timers locally have failed to elicit any information as to men being lost in that section, but it is possible that they went up from Hastings Arm, in which case nothing would be known of them here, but might be found out from old-timers in Anyox.

C Prince Rupert B c Pure beer promotes true temperance ��� WHEN pure beer, as is the case of British Columbia, is available to the people, the drinking of liquors of high alcoholic content is lessened and true temperance is promoted. The legal, above-board and Government controlled sale of beer in British Columbia, in licensed premises by the glass and in Government stores by the bottle, has removed this Province from among the communities in which alcoholism is a factor of importance. The attempt at total prohibition made in the United States early showed its complete bankruptcy from a moral point of view and its utter failure as regards enforcement. Now its ill consequences from a social standpoint are becoming evident. To mention only one result, among seven million people insured by the Metropolitan Life of New York the death rate from acute alcoholism has increased 600 per cent, since the enforcement of prohibition was attempted. Which means that as pure beer was taken from the people an illicit trade in concentrated and easily handled liquor of high alcoholic content, and mostly poisonous, sprang up and drunkenness increased. Recent deaths from poison alcohol, made from motor radiator spirit, in Ontario and New York afford an example of the harm of preventing the use of light beverages such as pure beer. This flood of death-dealing poison, naturally, did not affect Quebec, where pure beer is to be had by the people in the most free and open manner. The people of British Columbia are protected against the danger that comes from making distilled liquors a beverage���for which they were never intended���and against the poison brews that flood the United States, for British Columbia is provided with pure beer by the five modern plants \ of the Amalgamated Breweries, the sale of which is supervised and controlled by the government throughout. Pure beer is a healthful and invigorating beverage of a definite food value, with an alcoholic strength of V/% per cent., as required by law in British Columbia, only sufficient to stimulate the digestive system in the most favorable degree. Its consumption, inasmuch as it displaces the drinking of strong distilled liquors, is a GUARANTEE OF TEMPERANCE. The members of tbe Amalgamated Brewers are: Vancouver Breweries Ltd., Rainier Brewing Co. W Canada Ltd., Westminster Brewery Ltd., Silver Spring Brewery Ltd., and the Victoria Phoenix Brewing Co.

The most spectacular stoek was Dunwell, which was very heavily traded is ana as said in last week's issue, sagged very rapidly in the early part of tbe week but soon picked up again. There is a strong rumor that the Dunwell management intend placing a further 70,000 shares on the market to registered shareholders only at $1.00 per share. It appears as if this issue is in no way in connection with present development plans, but the management deemed it vise to have a bieger operating plan at the mine end. The public are very easily stampeded in the Dunwell market, and the brokers are strongly advising the holding of Dunwell stock, as it is'known that ore reserves are blocked out sufficient to run the mill the better part of a year, and also that there is plenty of cash to finish the mill, tram and power plant Marmot Metals was actively traded in, but the market stood up very well under some heavy! offerings. It is reported that engineers who recently went over the property were very well pleased and it is quite possible this property may be turned over to a large operating company. Through the hectic peri-d of [the Dominion election the local stocks held very firm, and higher levels are confidently looked for.
