Included in this was about four tons of grey copper ore from the surface of the upper lead, which was shipped for a smelter test. Work in the No. 1 tunnel on the Olympia claim at the lower camp is continuing, the crew stopeing and sacking ore from a rich shoot recently encountered there. This tunnel will be continued for at least 50 feet, and probably further, this winter. Harry Tanner will stay in thru the winter to direct the operations. The development of the first real shipper on the Alaskan side marks an epoch in the history of the Hyder Mining district. THE IDAHO STEWART'SJONTRIBUTION The Armistice was signed three years ago today, therefore we publish below a list of Stewart's contribu- bution to the war. Details being very difficult to obtain nothing but the following information can be given: Frank Rodolf, 16th Battalion, killed in action, April 20, 1915. G. Boultby, killed in action. C. T. Baker, 49th Battalion, killed in action, September 28, 1918. — Chappell, killed in action. Shorty Stevens, killed in action. Jack Inch, killed in action. John Law, killed in action. J. A.

The property is above the timber line on the north fork of the Marmot, and directly across William Forrest the ridge from the Silverado; in fact the two properties join one another. But the location is such that winter work cannot be carried on without the construction of substantial winter camps, which so far the owners have not had time to construct. During the past sum J.

In a new tunnel being driven to crosscut the creek vein the ore has just been struck and looks to be real high grade. The veins on this property are similar to and run parallel to those in the Premier mine and International. Mr. Morkill reports that Daly is very pleased with the results so far obtained, and that the community will share his elation, if as seems likely he is developing another mine, and living up to his Premier reputation.

Look at the map of Britiab Columbia with an unbiased mind. Roughly Vancouver is 800 milea from the tame point in the Peace River country that is reached in 400 miles from Stewart, which is the natural outlet for the whole northern and eastern interior. Nearly every settler in the Peace River district is talking of railway communication with the coast. Speaking in broad terms there are thirty-two millions of acres of the Peace River district situated within the boundaries of British Columbia, and more than forty millions of acres within the Province of Alberta, most of it being suitable agricultural land for mixed farming or ranching. In addition there is a vast area of mineral and timber resources, the extent of which is only beginning to be realised. Immense deposits of sMhraciu. coal have been located and the president of the Peefe *is.'**i Board of Trade is authority for the statement that this •oat grades higher then Pennsylvania E»i«i'siv« MkploraUuii wor* i« being carried on in connection with oil and already startling results have been obtained. The oil sands are located at a depth of about sixteen hundred feet aud enough investigation has taken place to be assured that they are of wonderful extent. There is also an abundance of natural gas. The area under cultivation at present is only about 300,000 acres and the population of the whole district is about 20,000. The first grain was sent out of the country three years ago, and consisted of less than one thousand bushels. Last year nine million bushels were produced from about a quarter million aires, the average wheat yield being thirty-live bushsls to the acre, or nearly double the average of other perilous of Alberta. The land is also well adapted for the raising of stock of all kindki, particularly hoKs.

A war that for magnitude and brutality, was unexcelled in the history of the world. A war that commenced in August, 1914, with the battle cry of nations, the rattle of drums, and the cheers of the throngs to the tramp of marching feet, for "Far and near, high and clear.
