Durrwachter, mining en g\neer, graduate of Heidelberg j Trail smelter University, who for the past 35 years has been intimately connected with mining in the western section of the United States and southern British Columbia, made the unequivocal statement to the News that he is going to buy control ef the Independence mine for his principals, who are eastern American mining capitalists. "With the judicious expenditure of money," he said, "the Independence will become a big mine. There is everything in its favor���water power available for milling, facilities for cheap miniug, and great ore bodies." Mr Durrwachter, accompanied by his son, E.W., also a mining engineer, spent a week examining the property, in company with S. P. Fitzferald, managing director of the Independence mining company, and Jack Fitzgerald, who has had charge of development work. The weather was perfect for their purposes, and Mr Durrwachter said they are taking out complete maps, not only of the underground workings, but of the surface exposures, which have been traced frem an elevation of 3700 feet down to within 800 feet of the Bear river. "You can say," he said, "that for the amount of money they had to spend, the Fitzgeralds have done a wonderful amount of work. I am going to leave Jack in charge until spring driving ahead on the ore body he has opened up in the face of the main tunnel, for a distance of 150 or 200 feet. In the spring I will outline a comprehensive working policy, which will include opening up the ore bodies from lower elevations and constructing a mill of sufficient capacity to take care of the initial output, but built on the unit principle so that it can be enlarged as occasion requires." The deal with Mr Durrwachter is subject to confirmation by a meeting of shareholders which will be held in Victoria October 28. The contract made by the Fitzgeralds will be confirmed. and some of the original Victoria shareholders, who "got in on the ground floor" and then sold out for what they could get, will be subject to mal de mer. Jack Fitzgerald expects to PORTER IDAHO MAKING GOOD Five tons of $300 ore are coming down daily to the Marmot river landing from the Porter Idaho mine, and 20 tons are going out each Sunday on the CN. R. ship to be transhipped at Vancouver on the C.P.R. railway to Returns from the first shipment of 40 tons received this year by the smelter amounted to $265 per ton. but this shipment contained a quautity of ore from the old workings, which does not grade as high as the vein now being opened up. Jack Rennie, who has the packing contract, is crowding on all the horses he can secure, and bringing down more than the ship will take out, but the extra sacks accumulate at the Marmot float and can be handled at any time, while packing from the mine must necessarily cease in from two to three weeks' time. When the weather makes it physicaily impossible to work on the surface of the new vein, from which the shipmentr are being made, the crew will be transferred to underground development, which can be carried on throughout the winter. Every week of good weather now means more than $5000 quick cash to the treasury of the Porter Idaho company. LEASING ON THE TERMINUS George Bacon and Ernest Mus- tow were down this week from the Terminus, where they have a lease on the north drift from the main tunnel, and report that they have in the neighborhood of 100 sacks of high-grade ere ready to pack down. Their trip into town was primarily to secure pack horses tu take this ore out, but when they learned the price of silver, which is at the lowest point for a number of years, they did not contract for the packing. The ore they have sacked, and will continue to mine and sack, should give returns of about 300 ounces in silver to the ton. PROSPERITY IS OWNER'S MINE Although the valleys are experiencing "Indian Summer" weather after a week of rain, work in the hills anywhere above the 4000-foot elevation is already hampered by snow, at least as far as outside operations are concerned, and above the 5000, further work is out of the question. Jancowski, Davis & Watland stayed with their high-grade mining on the Prosperity group as long as human beings could stand it. They were digging and sacking ore that runs more than $300 per ton without sorting and carries some of the most spectacular deposits of native silver ever discovered in the Portland Canal district, and the incentive to keep on working was strong; but three feet of snow on the ground, and the air full of whirling icy particles all the time, was stronger, especially as their only shelter was a tent, through every small opening of which the snow sifted The vein was discovered only this fall, but the owners have taken out between 25 and 30 tons of ore which will be shipped to Trail smelter as seon as it is all assembled at the beach. The Marmot float, constructed last summer, is now entirely inadequate to the requirements of the Marmot section, and puts the operators to the extra expense of handling their ore once more than would be necessary if a wharf were available. Thursday, Oct. 21, being Trafalgar Day, the Union Jack was down at the Service Club. start operations about November 1. All equipment is on the ground, and only the necessary supplies will have to be taken up. Since he put the machinery in through 20 feet of snow, he is not worrying about keeping the cook satisfied. RUSH COLUMBIA CONTROL SOLD Victoria-The block of 444,000 shares in the Rush-Columbia silver mines at Stewart, B. C, which have been in litigation before the courts here and in Van couver for the past year, were bought by R.F.Castle, when put up at auction by Sheriff Goggin. With the purchase of the shares goes the control and majority ownership of the mines. The shares, until seized by the sheriff on court orders, were the property of W. W. Rush and A. L, Bagg. A Vancouver financial house it was announced, is associated with Mr Castle in the purchase of the Rush-Columbia control, which is a factor in a large mining amalgamation involving the L&L Glacier Creek, controlled by Gillespie, Hart & Todd, the Union Silver, the Rush-Columbia, and possibly some ether adjacent small properties which are to be brought together in a development scheme to rival the Local News Notes Mrs W. C. Blanton returned Sunday from a visit in Seattle. J.W.Wilson returned Sunday from a business trip to Rupert. S.P.Fitzgerald, managing director of the Independence, left for the south Sunday. Mr and Mrs Jas. Stewart left Sunday for Victoria, where they expect to spend the winter. R.M.Stewart, president of the Dunwell, left for Victoria Sunday after a week's visit at the property. T.H.Evans, government road foreman at Hyder, is in the Premier hospital being treated for ear trouble. An engine, blower, rails and a quantity of provisions, arrived on the Prince Rupert for the Washington Mines. Jack Crawford left Monday night for New Westminster, to attend the golden wedding celebration of his parents. L.

Brown, principal owner of the North Basin group in the Marmot section, left for Vancouver Monday night, after having spent the summer on the property, Winter Boat Schedule The C.N.R. steamships go on the winter schedule with the arrival of the Prince George on Thursday, Nov. 18. PUSHING ALONG AT JJNWELL Flotation machinery for the Dunwell mill has arrived and is now at the mill, where everything is ready for its installation. Nearly all the balance of the machinery is on the way with the exception of that required for the new power plant. Hugo Stratford, formerly master mechanic at Premier, arrived Sunday to take up his duties as master mechanic at Dunwell. Very heavy rock work has been encountered in the excavation for the new hydro power plant. This work is now about complete however. All the towers for the tram have been erected, the lower terminal completed, and the tram-head building is nearing completion, The cable is being strung as rapidly as possible and is now nearly half up. Conditions in the mine are very good. The raises and chutes for ore extraction are nearly all completed through from the No. 4 level to the surface, a distance in elevation, ba the dip, of some 750 feet. In the course of this work some of the ore encountered between levels exceeded expectations. All the outside work is now completed, and a year's run of ore.is ready for treatment by the mill. Lloyd C. White, of trje firm of Birsh, Hearshey & White, who have planned the mill and are superintending its construction, has arrived and will spend some time at the mine. Osborne Receives Honors Freleigh Fitz Osborne, who spent the summer this year with the government geological survey in the Marmot and Bear river sections of this district, has been awarded a fellowship by Yale University Mr Osborne is continuing his studies by taking a post graduate eourse at that institution. Mr Osborne, who is a native son of British Columbia, was educated in the public and high schools of Vancouver, taking his B.A.Sc. in mining engineering, and M. A.Sc. in geological engineering, at the University of British Columbia. For the past four years he has been engaged in field work for the Geological Survey of Canada. Dunwell, Big Missouri and B.C.

Magee this week brought in some samples of ore from a new discovery he has made in the Marmot river section on his "North Slope" group, located this fall. The claims lie below and north of the Stimulator and Panhandle groups, on which sensational values in gold were obtained a few weeks ago. The North Slope ere is galena and zinc in a gangue of quartz- porphyry, and looks interesting. The vein appears to be from 3�� to 4 feet wide, but its lateral extent has not been traced. INCORPORATION NEXTTUESDAY Next Tuesday night, October 26, at 8 o'clock in Moose Hall, the citizens of this town will decide the question of incorporation. GOOD RESULTS ON SILVER TIP This Season's Development Has Greatly Advanced the Property Toward the Production Stage Work on the Silver Tip has been suspended for this season, with the exception of a contract being carried on for a tunnel to tap the "May P.J." vein, which is being driven by Dan Wood- more and Patsey Ilogan, recognized as being two of the best hand miners of the camp. This contract, it is estimated, should reach its objective in about'30 days. There are two main ore zones crossing the Silver Tip property, and the work this summer was principally confined to the north zone. Here three east and west veins have been traced out, cutting into the "Big Ledge," which strikes north and south and appears to be the mother lode of the zone. This big vein was determined only this year, and has been opened up in four places by surface cuts. A tunrtel was driven on the No. 1 vein of the east and west series of the north zone, for a distance of 102 feet. At the face it was breaking into a strong body of quartz, and J. V. Clegg, the manager, said he was disappointed that he could not have put in another week or two driving this tunnel ahead. At 40 feet from the portal a cresscut was run which tapped the vein at a depth on the dip of 70 feet. The vein here is five feet wide and runs high in silver, carrying both native and argentite. The vein here was sampled by an independent operator of the camp, who obtained values of more than 300 ounces in silver. Some work was done on the No. 2 vein, which widened from four inches on the surface to 2\ feet at a depth of ten feet. The values however are not as high as in the No. 1 vein, though of good milling grade. "You are accused of calling the plaintiff a liar, a sour faced old dodo and a thief. Is that true?" "Yes, your Honor, it's true." "Be Kind to Animals Week" is coming soon, and we promise our readers not to say a single mean thing about the Government during that week.

Ne Asrrartasiaa Accepted for First Pace BATING AT THE MOON ^^B *--*- *S8Ue ��* Northwest Mining Ser vice dated Oct. 6, carries a very amusing attack on Dale L. Pitt, manager of the Premier mine, purporting to have been forwarded by "Oar Special Representative" under date of Sept. 18th. In a former issue of the News we questioned the genuine existence in this district of such special representative for this notorious house organ. He knows nothing ���f the geography of the district nor the location of the mining claims, and has paraded this ignorance in such a way as to make himself and the imitation newspaper which he purports to represent, the laughing stock of those who, out of idle curiosity, occasionally read the rag. However, we are now inclined to credit his existence, ignorant though he be, for several reasons. In the first place, from the familiar way he writes he may be someone whose employment keeps him very dose to the Premier operation and underground workings, yet more convincing than this is the trend of this second article attacking Premier, for it would appear from it that Mn Pitt must have committed the unpardonable offence of in some way or another stepping on this mythical correspondent, or to say the least, hurting his feelings. Perhaps he wanted promotion and Mr Pitt thought someone else was more capable, which could quite possibly happen, even though that this individual, who like all spys, keeps his identity secret, tried to take whiskey up to the camp and naturally got into trouble; or, if this masquerading gentleman is not actually employed at Premier, it is possible he wanted Mr Pitt to do something for him and was refused. "Amusing" we hare called this attack and advisedly so, for the management of the Premier Mine is vested in the American Smelting and Refining Co., whose success in mining is proverbial and requires no comment on our part. The fact that the management is in the hands of this great mining corporation should in itself be sufficient rebuttal to any derogatory remarks published in a biased stock boosting circular. One thing goes, or should go, without saying, that if Mr Pitt is not an efficient manager tbe people who are employing him would very quickly find | someone to take his place. Another phase, and one the subterranean rat and the organ that acknowledges him seem to have overlooked, is that within the past year Premier has more than doubled its equipment for the treatment and handling of ore, which certainly would not have been done if the Premier is a short lived mine, such as this Spokane DALBY a MORKILL MINING SURVEYOR B.

CROSB* ! house organ would have its readers believe it to be. If its publishers and "Special Representative" are such capable mining men as to be capable of criticizing the Premier management, a pose they appear to delight in assuming, the wonder is to us that the A. S. & R. and other large mining corporations would allow such effi cient mining ability to run to seed writing and publishing articles. Surely they must soon take this material into their organizations, otherwise they are, we fhculd think in danger of going into bankruptcy. We hold no brief for the Premier mine nor for Dale L. Pitt, its manager. We have, in fact, criticized the latter, on a matter of policy, during a strike originating on the tram line construction several years ago. But we have never questioned his ability as general manager of a great mining operation, one that stands unique for the speedy " success it has attained. The Port land Canal News has been published weekly for more than I seven years right here in the vicinity of the Premier. We have the best opportunity of seeing first-hand everything that is going on in regard to its operation. We would consider any question as to the wisdom of the course followed by the A.S. & R. in its development as presump- ticus and beyond the scope of a newspaper that is published for the good of the district. Have mistakes been made at the Premier? It is net for a stock circular, published in the U.S.A., to pass a judgement that will carry weight with thinking: people, Results speak for them selves. If Mr Pitt has read the attack made upon him, (we have not aaked him about it) he probablj did so with a tolerant smile.

Frank Wood- side of Vancouver, president of the British Columbia Chamber of Mines, in addressing the Gyro Club here. "lf you look into the possibilities of the different mining companies in this province," said the speaker, "you will find many opportunities to make good, safe investments. In the 30 years of lode mining in this province greater strides have been made than in-any other part of the world." - In mining British Columbia could cairn some world records, said Aid. Woodside. The greatest deposit of eopper known in the British Empire existed in the Britannia mine, while the largest silver, lead and zinc mine in the world is the Sullivan, and the Premier mine's production of more than $9,000,000 dividends in five years is also a record. Aid. Woodside declared that the Pertland Canal district is going ahead rapidly, and satisfactory reports were being received from the Smithers and Hazelton districts. The speaker stressed the need of every aid to prospectors, who ara undoubtedly the moat important men to the min- I ing industry. As the prospector's knowledge is advanced, the mining industry is furthered. He pointed out that only one-tenth of the province has been prospected so far, and that the great You can't blame a married man for counting his pennies. They're all he has. GRANBY CO.'Y RAISES OUTPUT The construction and rehabilitation campaign quietly carried on by the Granby Consolidated Mining, Smelting & Power Co. during the last two or three years will be fully completed within the next three months, as a result of which the properties are showing a substantial increase in earning power and appreciably lower costs, says the Wall Street Journal. This improvemement has attracted the attention of a Boston group of mining men who have recently bought a large block of stock and will soon be given representation on the board. > Granby, with its 99.88 per cent owned subsidiary, the Allenby Copper Co., has an annual production capacity of 55,000,000 to 60,000,000 pounds of copper without unduly crowding operations. Compared with other mining companies, Granby has an extraordinary high poundage of annual ptoduction per share of stock outstanding, of which there are at present 344,803 shares. On this basis there is an annual producing capacity of between 160 to 170 pounds of copper a share, a poundage believed to be equalled by only one other producer in North and South America. Assuming all of the $2,500,000 1 per cent debentures were converted there would then be outstanding 444,803 shares, on which basis the annual producing capacity per share would be between 120 and 130 pounds of copper.

Hendrickson 4th and Columbia Boots and Shoes REPAIRED or MADE to ORDER Local Stocks (By H.W.M.Rolston A Co) The mining market continues to be very active and outside capital is becoming more and more iuterested in local properties. It is reported on very good authority that control of the Independence is taken over by American capital. The Stock Exchange bears this out by the fact that the stock is coming into very strong demand. No one seems to be able to diagnose the cause of the remarkable drop in Dunwell. Reports from the mine are more than favorable, and construction of the mill, tram and power plant is proceeding rapidly. The machinery for the mill is arriving, and the installation engineer is on the ground. The only reason we can give is that the investing public are listening to a lot of absurd rumors. Next to the Premier the Dunwell is the next property in line to pay dividends. Porter Idaho during the past few weeks has come into active demand and tbe stock is steadily advancing in price. The Premier market remains verv low but as far as' can be learned this has nothing to do with actual conditions at the mine, and it is stated that the regular dividends are to continue. It must be remembered that the Premier holds some 38 per cent of B.C.Silver stock. This alone is an immense asset. As has been mentioned before, the Marmot River section is becoming very much in the public eye, and much more so lately by the exceptionally good reports from the Marmot Metals, the Porter Idaho and the Jancowski- Davis properties. The latter two are shipping some exceptionally high grade ore. It is confidently expected that all Marmot river stocks will be in heavy demand. The market closed as follows: Bid Asked B. C.
