VOL. 8, NO. 13 STEWART, BRITISH COLUMBIA, FRIDAY, AUGUST 20, 1926 TRAGIC DEATH OF E. VV. HINCKLEY U.S. Immigration Official Fatally Injured by Falling Over a Cliff While With Mountain-climbing Party Victim of adherence to his principle of duty as he saw it, Earl W. Hinckley, immigration inspector at Hyder, lost his life on the treacherous slopes of Mt. Lincoln early last Monday morning, while leading to the beach a party of young mountain climbers. The party, consisting of Thelma Burleigh, Grace Birkland Lillian Stewart, Mr Hinckley, Hubert Thomas, Barry Blue, Robert Sutton and Wendell Fehr- ing, climbed the mountain, which id a short distance from Hyder, on the Alaskan side, 'early Sunday morning. On their way home Mr Hinckley and Miss Burleigh led the rest of the party and were trying to find a safe outlet to the beach. Mr Hinckley slipped into a small canyon about 10 o'clock in the evening, tailing a distance of approximately 200 feet and landing on a rock ledge, with a badly shattered jaw. several broken ribs, fractured skull and an injured ankle. Miss Burleigh proved to be a real heroine under circumstances that would try the nerve of experienced mountaineers. Though but a young girl she made her way down in the dark, over the walls that had sent her companion to his death, and located his semi-conseious form. Not only that, she remaind with kirn until life wan extinct, using portions of her garments in an effort to provide the warmth he craved when the chill of death was approaching; and when the first sign of daylight appeared she scaled the cliffs and notified the balance of the party, who had made camp on the mountainside, of the tragedy. The body was recovered by a Party of volunteers from Hyder, and shipped to Mr Hinckley's old home in Rhode Island, on Tuesday's boat, accompanied by his brother Arthur. The late Mr Hinckley was one of the mo3t highly respected and valued members of the commun- ,ty wh>ch composes Hyder, Alaska, and Stewart. B.C. Since 1923 he had taken an active part in *������ social and athletic functions of ihe camp, and his friends here co-nprisethe entire population. He was 547 years old, and is surged by his parents, three sis- tos and his brother Arthur. $5 THE YEAR-lOc. the Copy D�� MoD. Hunter, a prominent ��W-ne��s man of Rupert, is visiting the district. TUNNELING ON MARMOTMETALS Angus McLeod, managing director of the Marmot Metals Mining Co., visited the property this week and reports having found very satisfactory progress being made. This season's exploration work, he said, has resulted in the location of four parallel veins, on the east end of the property, striking up and down the mountain in a large mineralized zone. Up until the last week work has been confined to tracing these out, and open cutting, though the first part of the season necessitated considerable trail building in order to get to them. One of the center veins has been traced from the top ofthe mountain down over very steep ground to near the bottom of the hill, a difference in elevation of some 2000 feet. Three cuts on this vein recently sampled by a competent and thoroughly experienced person independent of the company, gave the following results: $30.50; $15.50 and $19.60 These three cuts varied in width from five to 15 feet. The values were in gold, silver and zinc, with the latter mineral predominating. Mr McLeod stated that he is increasing the crew immediately for the purpose of driving two tunnels, one on each of two veins, in order to explore these showings underground as much as possible before snow flies. Both these tunnels will be in ore from the portals and will gain about one foot of depth for each foot driven. They are roughly 150 feet apart. Mr McLeod also expressed himself as being very well pleased with the season's work to date, for in addition to the location of the four parallel veins mentioned, several other outcrops have also been located, scattered from near the foot of the hill, or an elevation of about 2000 feet, to near the top, which is about 4200 feet. The time at his disposal has not yet permitted the exploration of these showings, this work being left to a future date. f il V STEWART-HYDER LOCAL NEWS ] Jack McLeod left for Rupert Monday night.

Prizes will be given each evening, with cups for the highest score at the end of the winter, similar to last winter, when Miss Edith Crawford and W.R.Tooth were winners of the cups for highest scores. i LEAD-ZINC MAN VISITSSTEWART Doctor Alcock. of the dominion geological department, visited Stewart for a week in connection with the compilation of a book or report on the lead-zinc possibilities and production of Canada. While here he visited the more important operations, being shown over the district by Doctor Geo. Hanson, of the geological survey. Doctor Alcock, when seen by the News, had little for publication, this being kept for his report, as is usual in such cases. One thing with which he was impressed, how- ever, is the extent of the district and its transportation facilities, meaning by this the fact that the diatrict is situated on the sea coast. Long rail haul to markets is eliminated, in favor of the cheaper and more versatile seas transportation. The Doctor left here to visit sections of southern B. C. LABOR DAY CELEBRATION At last week's meeting of the celebration committee it was decided te start the Labor Day program at 1 p.m., instead of 10:30 a.m. as originally planned. The change has been made in view of the possibility of unfavorable weather, the organizers preferring to crowd the events and provide an alternative entertainment should some of the features have to be cancelled. Application has been made to the United Services Club for the use of their hall for the afternoon and evening. Arrangements are in hand to build a temporary sidewalk between the Opera House and Service Club, to enable patrons of both houses to change their style of amusement as conveniently and often as they wish. The Women's Auxiliary to the Hospital, who are the purveyors of refreshments at the dance, applied for a marquee. This will be erected near the Opera House. In the Klondike camp there are to be chances to make big stakes at the roulette wheel or faro, vingt et un or the crap game, at the crown and anchor board, or the petit chevaux. Space forbids a complete description of the fun to be had in this camp. A big sweepstake is being organized in connection with the rock drilling contest, and an election pool is expected to provide plenty of excitement on the side. The committee is anxious to receive additional entries for the rock drilling contest, wrestling on horseback, and of those willing to take part in the parade, as soon as possible. Since this meeting took place a rock has been prepared and a staging erected, ready for those taking part in the big drilling contest. LUNCHEON FOR MR. WELSFORD A complimentary luncheon was tendered R.A.H.Welsford, president of the Union Steamships Company, last Friday noon by the Stewart Board of Trade. After the luncheon W.C.Cameron, president of the board, introduced Mr Welsford in a few appropriate words, and asked him to address the gathering. Commencing by apologising for not being a fluent speaker, Mr Welsford rather surprised his audience with an intensely interesting account of what he had seen in the district through the courtesy of W. J. Crawford, local agent for the company, who had taken him over it for a week. He said the scenic attractions are far in excess of what he had anticipated, and from what Jie could gather the district has greater possibilities as a mineral producer than people in England credit, so much so that his company are contemplating the placing of another steamer on the run just as soon as business offering warrants. He characterized as absolutely unfounded the report to the effect that the C. N. R, Steamship Services might buy out the Union Company. The Union, he stated, are well satisfied with their investment and have no intention of selling. He next dealt with financial conditions in England, and the attitude of Old Country capital toward this country, prophesying that as soon as things settle down to normal and western Canada business becomes more established, a great movement of capital from the British Isles this way can be expected. Old Country capital, unfortunately, in years past has experienced a large number of very heavy losses in Canada, and is therefore inclined to be wary of new commitments. However this condition will right itself and a change will take place that will greatly benefit and assist in the development of this country. The great strike, he stated, was taken very well, and due to tbe common sens'*; of the people, mixed with a fund of humor, it worked itself out alright. He, himself, drove a railway engine during the strike, which experience he seemed to have enjoyed. A number of the diners replied to Mr Welsford, William Noble dealing with the history of the north coast, and the Union Steamship Company as he has known it, as a resident for the past 29 years, in an intensely interesting manner that was greatly appreciated by all present. J.W.Wilson, however, crowned the function with a dry exposition of humor. F. J. O'Reilly of Victoria, one of the new board of directors of the Victoria Mines, elected last June, visited Stewart during the week, looking into the company affairs locally. Mr O'Reilly visited the property and is well satisfied with the progress being made by the tunneling. By profession he is a B.C.Land surveyor, and as such had considerable experience in mining in southern B.C. He is now manager of Cross & Co., one of the oldest established real estate firms in B. C.

Attendance at these functions Is in no way confined to the membership of the Board, and visitors, but rather it is the desire of the Board that each and ���very individual interested in the growth and development of the district shall be present, irrespective of their occupation in the community. The policy being quite new, only two luncheons have to date been given, the first to Mr. Irwin of Vancouver, the second to Mr. Welsford of Liverpool, president of the Union Steamships Co. A third is to te given this evening to Mr. Lodge, from New Brunswick, director of the Canadian National Railways, and manager of Monc- ton's big daily newspaper. At the two former luncheons, in addition to the guests, of honor there have been several other speakers, including mining engineers etc. As a result a great deal of interesting and useful information has been imparted. It is safe to say that there has been no movement conceived and put into effect in Stewart so productive of results as this entertainment committee. At no time, except possibly in the boom days, has Stewart experienced so many visitors of varying importance, from of iufluential personages that great diffi cully has been experienced keeping track of them. In addition there has been noted a marked increase in the number of tourists over previous years. The pleasing feature of this has been and is the fact that one and all of these many visitors have returned to their widely scattered homes and into the outside world, walking advertisements for the possibilities and future of the Portland Canal, a good work unconsciously being done.

"The tragic passing of Dr. W.LUglow will leave a blank at the University where, in laboratory and class-room, his principal work was done, during the past six years. It is probable, however, that the prospectors and mining men of British Columbia will miss the cheery and capable geologist even more than his students and colleagues will. Dr. Uglow was a practical as well as a theoretical scientist. He knew the hills as well as he did his text-books and his specimen cases, Paid, knowing the hills, he had a lively appreciation of the difficulties of the men who strive to make their living there. He had every sympathy for the prospector, and he fully realized the importance of the prospector to the mining industry of British Columbia. He saw that methods of prospecting were changing and he spared no pains to give the men who follow this rather uncertain calling, a better scientific training, so that they might not spend weary weeks looking for mineral where no mineral could possibly exist. Following his aim along this line, he lectured and demonstrated night after night, during several winters, to classes organized by the Mining Institute, The prospectors of British Columbia will go far before they find a better or more able friend than the one they have lost."

WAKEFIELD Light and Heavy Transfer Wood for Sale We Buy Bowles Stand at Welcome Pool Hall NEW METHOD OF ORE REDUCTION Fourteen bars of solid silver, valued at $4000, formed an exhibit in the B,C. Chamber of Mines section at the Vancouver Exhibition This display interested because the bullion was the first ever produced in this province direct from the mine without having gone through the ordinary smelting process. Produced at the Horn Silver mine of Similkameen. The ore is treated on the property and the product leaves in ingot form. The silver ore passes through a number of rollers until it is finely pulverized, then is carried into large tanks containing a cyanide solution. After continued agitation and mixing, the effect of which is to precipitate the gold and silver; the mixture, then in a slime form, is thouroughly washed. From the washers the metallic slime passes into the furnace, "and metallurgical department, from whence the bars of silver emerge. The new process, mining men say, will have a stimulating effect on thejindustry in the provinte. They state that under the usual smelting processes there is considerable loss of precious metals. The new method of metal extraction will, they believe, make many properties producers, because of trie low cost of smelting.

Prop. Local Stocks (By H.W.M.Rolston & Co) The usual fall activity in local stocks is starting and increased prices are noticeable in many of the'mining stocks. Dunwell is in heavy demand and the price is rapidly reaching higher levels. National Silver G. S. was one of the marked stocks and is steadily on the cilmb. and an en hanced value is looked for. Marmot Metals remains in steady demand at a much higher price than has been obtained for some time, and with the continued good reports from the mine, higher prices for this stotk can be readily expected. Indian remains inactive, although in good demand around 5 to 6 cents. Independence reports from the management are very favorable and if the deal with Detroit capital materializes, this stock will be in big demand. Premier is rapidly reaching its former price, and as a mining investment is one of the best in the mining world. Glacier Creek is very inactive, but the close proximity of this property to the Dunwell places the Glacier Creek stock in a position where at any time a rapid enhancement in price can be expected. It is believed that the new board of directors of the Victoria Mines are planning a very progressive development; program for this property. The market closed as follows: Bid Asked B. C.
