VOL. 7, NO. 52 STEWART, BRITISH COLUMBIA, FRIDAY, MAY 28, 1926 $5 THE YEAR-lOc. the Copy ANNUAL REPORT ON B.J). SILVER The report of directors of the g_-]ukwe Gold Mining & Finance Co. for the year ending March 311926, is at hard. Ihe remi- fications of this company are so extensive, mining as they are in nil parts of the world, that their full rjport cannot be covered in the scope of a newspaper article. However, their operations as pertaining to the B.C.Silver, are here given in a fairly complete form. (It s not our fault that Mr. Banks spells ore shoot "ore chute." We copy his report as written.) C.A.Banks, M.I.M. & M.. en- Kineer in charge, says: There hai been no change since my last report in the holdings of B.C.Silver Mines, Ltd., which consists of:��� (1) A group of 9 elaims im- m -diately adjoining the Premier mine to the north, and contain- hg the lateral extension of the Premier orezone for a distance of approximately 3000 feet, and, in addition, the extension in depth of a further 800 lateral feet of this orezone, due to the orezone dipping into the B. C. Silver ground, and (2) A group of 8 claims adjoining the Premier mine on the south side. Development In the period under review we have prospected part of the ore- zone both laterally and in depth, the development woik accomplished amounting to a total of approximately 6000 feet of tunneling and diamond drilling. Lateral Exploration The position on March 25th, 1925���the date of my last report ���was that we had located by tunneling, one ore chute, and, after an apparent gap in the zone of about 1000 feet, we had located by diamond drilling from the upper or No. 2 level, several silicified areaa carrying values which pointed to the existence of commercial ore in this vicinity During the past year this area was diamond drilled from the lower, or No. 3 level, and it was ������������ally attacked by advancing this level until a rich orechute was encountered. This chute shows continuous ore on the level for a length of 200 feet���150 feet is of good billing grade, averaging. I judge, between $20 and $30 a ton over a width of about 10 feet, and the remaining 50 feet ���a high grade ore, 30 feet of which averages $200 a ton over 4 ft- 6 in, in width. A second chuto of ore was ne-<t located, about 80 feet west of and apparently parallel ing the above mentioned chute. This has been drifted on for 50 feet and, whilst on the whole the values to date are not commercial, it nevertheless contains some milling ore, and the probability is that ore of better grade will be disclosed by further development. Our diamond drilling indicates that further ore will be found in close proximity to the above The N. E. extension of these ore occurrences will prebably al' encounter a granite dyke beyond which there are good chances of further ore, as there also are in the country between them, which area I do not consider disproved by the small amount of diamond drilling we have so far done there. There are also ro3sibiiliies of finding ore on the Texada Fractional mineral ciaim. which will be later drilled from No. 2 level. A raise is now being driven to connect for ventilating purposes. This raise started in high grade ore which was lost about 30 feet above the level��� the raise is at a steep angle, about 75 degrees, and it is prob- | able that the ore is lying flatter than this, and that it will later be found to the S.E. of the raise. The present position however, is that poor ventilation compels us to push the raise through as fast as possible. During the months of January and February we shipped 276 tons of high grade ore from development. This ore had a gross value of $37,507, or approximately $135 per ton. in gold and silver, and the net smeler return amounted to $34,312.74. The above developments are extremely important as they show that, after an apparent gap in the orezone of 1000 feet or so, we have found a repetition of tha high prade ore chutes similar to those existing in other parts of the orezone. The ore was encountered at a vertical depth of 650 feet below the surface, or, allowing for an estimated dip of 60 degrees, and for the slope of the hill, a depth of about 900 feet on the slope of the vein. Development alone will tei! us how these ore chutes will behave above and below No. 3 level, but inasmuch as the ore occurrences are typical of the ore chutes on the Premier property, the probability is that eur chutes will behave in a similar mannes, and that on mining they will be found to be large chutes of irregular form, with no definite walls, and with very variable values. A peculiarity of some of these orebodies is that, although the whole orebody may be commer- ANOTHER railroad milestone of Western Canada was passed on April 20, when the first engine ever constructed in this part of the Dominion was turned out of the Canadiin National Railways Transcona Shops at Winnipeg, where it waa built. Engine 2747 shown above was constructed entirely in the local shops, the work being done in addition to tha regular output of repairs to other engines. After the various parts were made, the frames for the locomotive were laid down on March 11 and construction was completed on April 19th, a total of 27 working days, the first run being made to Winnipeg on the following day. Number 2747 is classed as a 38% engine, is capable of main and branch line freight handling and has sufficient speed to run the Transcontinental. The weight of the locomotive and tender complete is 193 tons. After trial runs, It will be used on main line time freight trains on the Alberta district of the Canadian National, where the best use can be made of this class of locomotive and where the fuel saving devices with which it is equipped will give the most economical results. Number 2748, which is now in course of construction at Transcona, will be ready for service in Alberta in May. f II Ik* STEWART-HYDER LOCAL NEWS Harry Heywood, leading spirit of the Terminus, arrived from Victoria Monday. cial, there are spots where, due to the very uneven distribution of values, a diamond drill can be put right through the orebody without showing any values whatever���this is what often happens, and it is largely for this reason that the orechutes are so difficult to locate. Extension in Depth Due to the fa��t that the ore- zone dips N.W. and passes thru the boundary of the Simpson M. C. (Premier Company) into the B. C. Silver ground between the Premier No. 3 a?id No. 4 levels, we get on the Oakville Fraction the downward continuation of the orebodies existing on the Premier Simpson M.C. My report of last year stated that diamond drilling had proved values over a length of 200 feet in the area marked "B" on plan. Further diamond drilling during the year has increased this to approximately 300 feet. In addition to this, the Premier Gold Mining Company are now mining a chute of ore between their No. 3 and No. 4 levels right on the boundary line. This chute is about 10 feet in width where I saw it and I judge from the mineralization that it contains good values. We may later find that this chute will connect up with chute B and that we will get more or less continuous ore along the whole length of the boundary (Continued on Page 3) 1, J J. T.

Mr Burton graduated from the University of British Columbia in 1923 and shortly thereafter was employed by the Premier Gold Mining Co. Ltd. as assistant geologist under the direction of A. H. Means, and later became geologist. During the winter of 1924 1925 he pursued graduate studies with distinction at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, receiving the degree of master of science in geology. A part of the summer of 3925 was spent in field work in eastern Canada with the Canadian Geological Survey, and in the fall of the same year he went to Peru as assistant geologist and scouting engineer for the Northern Peru Mining & Smelting Co. It was on a field trip in Peru that he contracted the illness which proved fatal. His first and last contribution to geologic literature consists of a paper describing the Premier ore deposits. This article is to appear in an early issue of Economic Geology. In Mr Burton's death the mining industry loses a young man who at the outset of his career showed great promise and one who, had he lived, would have gone far.���Engineering and Mining Journal-Press.

If so, then why not an expendituree of $30,000 for the development of the country between f tewart and Telegraph Creek, as well as the territory tributary to that place, just as rich in natural resources? How can the debt of this Province be reduced unless the revenues are increased? What section of the Province will increase the Provincial revenues as rapidly as the section that will be benefitted by this trail? NONE! Then the Government would be fully jnstified in the construction of this trail at the earliest date possible, and negligent in its duty to the whole Province if it does not.

Empire Day, as is well known, originated facilitated and speeded up. There is nothing tike isolation to retard the development of any new country. Cut 800 miles off even the winter travel to the Telegraph Creek-Dease Lake country, and watch it grow, and the revenue of the Government from it increase. Such a trail as suggested would open a country for development as large in area as Vancouver Island, and just as rich in natural resources of minerals, coal, fur, land, timber and water power. All that is required to make this trail a reality is the construction of a 20 or 30 mile link, and improvement of the existing trails. If this link is let by contract, in sections of two or three miles, or four at the outside, to men who want to stay in that country���and there are a number- it can become an accomplished fact; for an expenditure of some $30,000! Have the present Provincial Govern, ment or the Governments of the past been in the annual commeration of the birth-day of that illustrious queen, Victoria, under whose ben- eficient soverignty the British Empire made such great strides, and at her death has been maintained as Empire Day, and as such rightly celebrated by the 518,684,000 people composing the British Empire, as the one day in the year by which to remind ourselves of the great heritage to which we are heir, with all its hardens and responsibilities spread over 18,344,111 square miles of the surface of this earth, embracing in its folds every known type, color and religion, peculiar to the peoples of this earth, from the most highly ciyilized down through every strata of humanity to the veriest savages. General Smuts, that brilliant leader of the Boers 25 years ago, recently said: "The British Empire is the greatest force for peace that the world has ever known." The Hon. Justice Field of the United States, speaking in Canada a few years ago of British law, justice and order said: "That is the secret of the British Empire���that it stands for order, for the sacredness of human life, for the protection of every interest, however humble I am tilled with wonder���you are part of a mighty Empire.

That noted enemy of everything British, Cardinal Manning, stated: "A greater miracle in the whole history of mankind I have never read of than that the numerically small British race should rule 240,000,000 (he could have said 315,000,000) of the Oriental races. So wonderful a phenomenon is not to be found in any record of the world. Professor Muth of Munich, Germany, said: "A world Empire, such as the British, is the work of God���The British Empire was not created by human plans -But no other nation on earth can destroy the British Empire, for it is necessary in the defence of the liberty of the world." And so can be cited in endless chain, tributes to our Empire and race, by friend and foe alike the world over; from Europe down through Africa, east through Persia, and across Asia, through every creed and color; the greatest miracle in the known history of mankind, carrying justice, freedom, liberty and progress to the ends of the earth A league of free peoples of every color, creed and stage of development, working out a high and still higher destiny, carrying the rest of the world in her wake.

SILVER (Continued from Page 1) line of the Simpson M. C. Although this part of the property will undoubtly yield a considerable tonnage of good grade ore, it must be remembered that this is not immediately accessible to us, as it will have to be reached either by a shaft or a low level tunnel. Equipment An air compressor of 1000 c. f. capacity is now being erected, and will probably be in use early in April; in this connection the mine is now being relaid with larger air mains. An electric storage battery locomotive is being installed. A short aerial tram waa installed from the portal of No. 3 tunnel to the road, J of a mile below, to facilitate the handling of high grade ore, and an additional bunkhouse was built. South Group The rocks on this group are similar to those existing on the B. C. Silver North Group, and there is an attractive shear zone cutting across it. During the summer of 1925 we commenced a surface contour survey of the group, and this is now about half completed. This work will be of assistance in later helping us to intelligently prospect the ground. General The ore bodies have been found as a result of close study of the geological conditions and a com- hensive and systematic program of tunneling and diamond drilling of the ore zone, which scheme of development was decided upon after we lost the first ore body marked "A." The present position is that five ere chutes have been located to date. Some time in April we will have our new equipment installed and we will then be able to develop more rapidly, and in this way we hope to quickly put the property in a position where we can figure ore reserves. Conclusion I have to thank the Premier Gold Mining Company for the assistance they have rendered us during the year. I am pleased to record the excellent and loyal service rendered by the mine superintendent, C. B. North, and his staff, and I wish to thank the Selukwe directors and shareholders for their steady support over the long period which has been necessary to develop the property into a mine.

NORTHLAND MINING COMPANY LIMITED (Non-personal Liability) Applicant By E. O. Weston. Agent. Local Stocks (By H. W. M. Rolston ft Co) On authentic information being made public that the Premier interests had dropped negotiations for tho Indian, there was a heavy slump in this stoek. As this stock wss purely a gamble, all the large shareholders appear to be quite ready to take their losses, and in consequence large blocks are being offered with very few buyers. Until some future program is outlined for the Indian, even lower prices than at present prevail are looked for. Dunwell is showing marked signs of advancement This stock is becoming; very tightly held, and more and more by the investing public. Reports from the mine are more than favorable Independence appeared very active oa the southern markets, undonbtedly caused by tbe facts that the company's property is being examined by American capital In consequence higher levds are looked for in this stock L AL showed continued weakness with very few buyers in the market Porter Idaho wss in slight demand on the southern markets, but the price being too low to tempt any of the large shareholders. Premier continues to hold at the new low levels, though by previous records the present low price on this stock is only temporary, On the rumor spreading that B.C.Silver had run into some exceptionally high grade ore, this stock was brought into demand locally at higher levels.
