During the period of the shutdown, a matter of some four months, the present syndicate, according to a statement issued by the management, will be reorganized into a limited liability company, incorporated under the laws of British Columbia, with! head office in Stewart, and fori each unit that has been issued in I the syndicate, the owner, at the I time of incorporation, will re-! ceive $100 worth of stock in the I new company. Clay Porter, dis- coveror and manager of the property, will leave for Victoria and Vancouver about the 1st of November for the purpose of arranging for and completing the incorporation, this being the principal reason for the winter shut-down. Starting last spring by backpacking in supplies, a horse trail was constructed up andj onto the property, a good lumber cabin 14x32 was built, 450 feet of tunnels were driven, from which some 175 tons of ore were extracted and shipped. The smelter returns on the first 30 tons netted the syndicate $164 Per ton, with a request from the Selby Smelter, at which the ore was treated, for more of the same character of ore.

Permanent camps have already been constructed, and the only building required in the spring will be a house for the compressor plant. It is proposed to drive a second crosscut tunnel 500 feet long to tap the big vein at a depth of approximately 350 feet. The improvement in size of the vein and character of the ore in the present tunnel, over conditions on the surface is such as to warrant the assumption that with increased depth a still greater improvement may be expected, as is the case on the Dunwell.

No Advertising Accepted for First Page A FUTURE WITH a late spring, short summer and heavy fall rains, the Weather man this season has thrown every possible obstacle in the way of the various operations in the district. In spite of this it has been a season of real action and development; possibly never in the history of the camp has so much development work been so efficiently carried out as has been done this year. Well organized, well financed and well managed, these operations have without exception been energetically prosecuted and a maximum of work has been dene at a minimum of expense, with most gratifying results. Valuable ore bodies have been opened on many properties that demonstrate the district's ability of becoming) in a few short years, one of the world's great producers of precious metals. Looking over the field of the season's endeavor, and considering collectively the wonderful results that have been obtained during a few short months over a THE accomplishment of the Porter Idaho Syndicate this season may be safely said to constitute a record. Financed locally, the management commenced the season by the construction of considerable trail, later built a good lumber camp, drove 450 feet of tunnel, from which was extracted, sacked and shipped 175 tons of ore, netting the treasury more than sufficient to pay for all running expenses. A lot of good work has been done in the eamp this season, under the ablest of direction, and there is no room for any reflection when it is said that Mr Porter is entitled to congratulations for having established a record for the year's accomplishment.

In the letter accompaning the news item it is stated that "Gold Pan creek is good. Practical miners who came in with Galvin and Chil- berg state that it is the best prospect they ever saw." Great credit is due Mr Grady, who, for four long years has prospected the ereeks east of Dease lake without a murmur of complaint of any kind. It would appear that he is now about to reap the reward of his toil, and the News takes pleasure in offering him congratulations, and wishing him the best of luck.
