It had a first-class board of oirectors, consisting of leading business men of New York City and Canada. On the board were Hon. H. H. Stevens, M. P.-for Vancouver, and Hon. E. Bristol, K.C., M.P..

An English engineer bonded for the Latilla interests the Daly Alaska, Forty Nine and others at high prices. The New York directors of Premier Extension conceived the idea of sending one of their number to London to dispose of Premier Extension for a large price.

Brown Puts Salmon River Properties Under New Control (Continued from Page 1) spectsjbut by development of ere in sufficient quantity in the first place, and payment for it after its existence has been placed beyond doubt. The plans of the New York directors for a get rich-quick scoop failed. Trouble ensued between the Ottawa and New York interests. Liti- \ gation resulted and the property was tied up from development for two years. New Development When the title was again cleared the property was examined by a number of mining engineers representing leading companies, who all expressed favorable opinions concerning it. Meantime the owning companies carried on development in a small way. The construction of the wagon road to the Indian mine two years ago opened out the mineral zone in a striking manner and disclosed valuable ore in the Red Bluff. This ore was followed down by .open cuts to a considerable distance below the elevation of the | road. Other open cuts were > made up the Red Bluff and back 'along the strike for a distance of '750 ft, ore being found in all of 'them, and some of them very rich. Then a new drift waB ' opened above the road, and run 1 for a distance of 25 feet. This work developed the best ore \ found on this part of the property. From it 50 tons were piled on the dutop and attracted tne attention of all mining men who saw the showing. The result of this development proved most encouraging, suggesting a reserve of probable ore amounting to about 100,000 tons. Sampling for values gives an average of about $18 a ton: This development was done by Malcolm McKenzie, a foreman at the Premier mine, who is satis* fied from his experience in the ore occurrences there, that the Woodbine-Vancouver groups are the making of a large mine. A noticeable feature that he points out is the cross-faulting of the veins and the ehrichments there as at the Premier.." A Labyrinth of Veins The Red Bluff vein strikes northeast and southwest. It is approximately parallel to the main veins of Premier and- B. C. Silver. As such it is probably contemporaneous geologically with these veins and subject to similar influences to which the mineralization is attributable, especially where associated with the shear-zones and dykes traceable northwesterly from these properties. Northwest of the Red Bluff is another vein paralleling it, which is of large dimensions, but has not yet been crosscut to its full width. ���_ This vein is well mineralized with silver, lead and zinc, and has given high assays from picked ore. On de- velopment it is probable conditions will be similar to those at the Red Bluff. TowaVd the northeast end of the property is a large' vein in which open cuts show proportionately equal values in gold and silver. It looks very promising. Many smaller veins are to be found on the property associated with quartz-feldspar dykes and shear-zones, but no development has been done on them. Where broken into they show sulphides of promising appearance. On the southwest end of the property there is a contact between 3?S fe? a*r ^ In the Center of Everything HOTEL ST.

Daring the past few weeks one of the well known stocks of die Portland Canal district haa shown a ntt increase of over 100 per cent and this can be safely look -d for jn a number more. One can safely say now that the eyes of the mining world sit centered on Stewart and district and an old adage is, when the public really want something they are always willing to pay for it As has been predicted for tbe past few months In this column the Marmot section is in a way to make history for the Portland Cabal district The fact that the Premier organisatiosVhsn secured holdings there, antfpaying the largest cash payment recorded in years for any property in the west bears out the statements which have been made. ��� Any time the largest operating company in the district will ex- eeed the usual procedure for the purchase of properties in a cer- taie district that district hi worth watching by the general public. There are only two stocks listed in that section, Porter Idaho and Marmot Metals.
