Bella Coola and Vancouver Share Credit of Find What promises to be the largest deposit of Hematite iron ore- that has ,yet'' been discovered, and possibly one of the largest in North America, has been located by Messrs Wm. McNair and Pete Kenyon, of Vancouver and Bella Coola respectively. According to their calculations there are at least 30,000,000 tons of Hematite ore in sight. This vast deposit occupies a most favorable position and can be transported to tidewater at Bella Coola, over very easy and favorable grades.

INSPECTION OF PRE-EMPTIONS The Government has decided to inaugrate a strict enforcement of the provisions of the Land Act Aftersa meeting of the Cabinet Council recently held it was stated that the date for the assembling of parliament had, riot yet been fixed. The delay in the announcement has led to the revival of the report that the House will not meet until January. The report ter of Lands, that Hon. F. D.

"Should you think fit to do so, I hope you will take steps to make this letter public. Believe me, yours very truly, (Signed) Arthur." Jottings of Bella Coola and District Mackenzie School Re-Opens. The Mackenzie school, situated on ���������the Bella Coola Townsite, was re-opened on Monday last. Some difficulty had been experienced in obtaining a teacher to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Mr. Guy Mackenzie, who returned to his home in the East at the close of last term, in order to continue his studies for the Church. The trustees have, ; however, been extremely fortunate in securing the services of Miss Ethel Carlisle, of Vancouver, whom it is hoped Will long remain in charge of the Mackenzie school, as the altogether too constant change of teachers has a distinctly retarding effect'on the pupils. Mr. Ernest Carlson, who has lately joined the noble army of benedicts, returned to Bella Coola in company with his bride, by the last Venture. Mr. and Mrs. Carl sen have taken up their residence at Hagansborg. Health, Wealth and Prosperity for them both, is the wish of the Courier. ��������� Among the passengers arriving by the S. S. Venture, last Sunday, was Dr. Inman, Eye Specialist, of Vancouver and Prince Rupert, who is putting in the week between Bella Coola and Hagensborg. The price of Bella Coola real estate is still on the up-grade. If you doubt it, ask Capt. Parks of the S. S. "Venture," or his genial purser. Mr. Wm. Sutherland has, left on the power yacht "Chaos" for a hunt in the neighborhood of Kwatna. The residence constructed by the Dominion Government for the use of Mr: Iver Fougfier, Indian Agent for this district, is now completed and presents a most pleasing appearance. The building, which is of the ���������������������������.;,������������������"������������������.������������������������������������'��������� ,/r7- ..- bungalow style, is 32 feet by 39 feet, with verandah extending along the south side and under main roof. The ground floor contains living and dining rooms 14 x, 15 and 14 x 16 feet respectively, having panelled ceilings and cedar wainscoting stained antique oak, the former having an open fire place. Off the dining room is a spacious pantry, which has through connection with the kitchen, 14 x 14 feet, and through this back to the main hall. A snug " den" is also provided, tastefully wainscoted with cedar up to ,6 feet and above panelled with beayer board, connecting from this room by a passage is an office, 14.x 14 feet, where the agent can cony eni ently transact his business. ���������������������������."������������������ On the first floor is found three good bedrooms, c e d a r 1 i n e d, ample store closets .and cupboards, and commodious bath room, the sanitary fittings being of the most approved type. The building is heated throughout by hot-air system, the. furnace for same being placed in the basement, where is also found a useful laundry equipped with clothes-chute and all other necessary appurtanees. The whole building is? finished with a thoroughness characteristic of Dominion Government buildings, and reflects the greatest credit on the contractor, Mr. G. Miller, of Vancouver, who resided among us while superintending the construction. For the benefit of readers who have horses that they wish to have wintered in the interior, we wish to state that Mr. John Cress- well intends leaving for the Mc Clinchy ranch, Tatla Lake,''about the 5th of next month, and will be prepared to take.along all horses at a charge of $5 per head for delivery at Tatla Lake. Messrs A, Gothard and R. A. Teebay, jeft town on Thursday last for a few weeks trip into the Salmon River country, where they will combine business wii h' pleasure, in the, hope of some good fishing and hunting. Mesdames Clayton and Mac- farlane, and Messrs J. Macf arlane W. Sutherland and Davenport Clayton have returned from the interior, where they spent a most enjoyable time. This year's potato crop is a record one in size and quality. The warehouse on the wharf is now full awaiting shipment to Ocean Falls by S. S. Dunsmuir. Mr. Ray Anderson, of Victoria, has purchased a town lot opposite the "Courier" office, and intends building a plaee of business in the near future. The sale was made by the Bella Coola Realty Co., who are making arrangements for the clearing of the ground. A'meeting of the Lower .Bella Conservative Association .was held in the Mackenzie schoolhouse on Saturday last, ,and^was~welk-at-' tei ded. The principal business of the meeting was the election of a new president, to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of the former one. yBy a unanimous vote of the members present, Mr. D. Grant was chosen to fill the post. Two vacancies on the Executive Committee, were then filled, Messrs T. Draney and J. Shafer being elected after the taking of a ballot. The Secretary's report upon the present condition and financial status of the Association was then read and duly accepted, a gratifying feature being the additional number of names carried upon the membership roll. MesssrsR. Leese and T. West were upon request, duly transferred from the Upper Valley Branch. After the discussion of sundry matters in the way of- general business, the meeting adjourned. Harry Morgan the pioneer settler from Ootsa Lake, who has been.down for supplies, hit the trail on his return trip last week in company with Mr. Ford Dodds, who also has a farm in the Ootsa lake country. They took in with them a bunch of choice stock from this valley. John Cresswell is back from the interior where he has been engaged on the construction of the telegraph line.
