Hold Annual Meeting The annual meeting of the Silver Crest Mining Co. was held on September 12th. at 300 West Pender street, Vancouver. Iu the notice to shareholders, it was pointed out that $15,000 is required to put the Saddle property on a shipping basis, but au appeal to shareholders to subscribe for stock at 10 cents a share elicited practically no response. In the meantime, a further amount has been borrowed from the company's financial agents to settle outstanding accounts, pay taxes, etc., the local amount advanced now being $60,000. The directors have acquired the remaining 30 per cent interest in se ron of the eighu claims comprising the Saddle group, through the issue of 300,000 shares to the owning syndioate. The remaining claim on which all the developmeno has bjen done has been purchased f om the owner, Charles Clay, for $50,000, of which $6,000 was paid in cash, the re mainder be'ng payable from royal ties on ore shipped or in cash the sum of not less than $1,000 each year. Huge Sums Expended On Oil Drilling Calgary—More than $57,000. 000 has been expended and more than a million feet of borings done in Alberta in search for oil during the last thirty years, according to a recapitulation made by J. I. Carmichael, Lethbridge engineer. In all, some 407 wells have been drilled, not including the Ribstone field for which no details are avail able. Of ihe drilling done, 160 wells in the Turner Valley have drilled 650,000 cubic feet—more than half of the province's total of 1,167,787 feet. Ottawa—Preliminary census figures give Prince Rupert a population of 6326, as compared with 6393 in the last census year of 1921. If- n Premier Gold Mining Company recently acquired an option to purchase a group of 26 mineral claims on Summit Lake on the divide between the Salmon and Naas River, owned by Ted Morris of Stewart and associates. A report to this effect stated to be based on good authority, is contained in the Stewart News. Described as a "raw prospect," the property will be immediately subjected to preliminary investigation and development before any definite plans are decided upon by Premier. A description of the claims in the( 1930 report of the B. C. minister of mines states that the location is at an altitude of from 2720 to 4000 feet. The property is about eight miles north of the end of the Missouri road and is reached by a fair horse trail to near Summit Lake which Ted Morris has been in the habit of crossing by means of an improvised raft. Dr. rj. T. Mandy, the resident government engineer, advises that the property may be recommended 'to mining engineers as being decidedly worthy of extensive exploration. He states that a definite east-wide structure seems to feature the locality and on the higher altitudes around the tongue of the glacier oxidized outcrops can .be seen that are worth prospecting Men's Underwear We have in stock a full line of Men's Underwear by all the leading makers, including Penman's, Stanfield's and Hewson.

ELKS Dominion ol Canada and Newfoundland ANYOX LODGE No. 47 Meets every second and fourth Monday oi the month Halt for rent for dances, social functions, etc. on application to club manager H ere an dTh ere Canada's total wool clip Is about 21,000,000 pounds annually, while Canadian mills use at least tyice as much as this every year, and Canadian consumption of manufactured woollens equals about (our times the clip. Lake Louise Icelandic poppies, one ot the glories of this part ot the Canadian Rockies, are in demand in thousands of gardens all over the world. Gardeners at the Chateau are now busy gathering seeds which will later be mailed to guests of the hotel this season. Representing an increase of 31,- 000,000 bushels over the same period last year, 199,989,000 bushels of grain were marketed on Canadian Pacific Railway western lines during the twelve-month period since August 1, 1930. This gives the railway company a percentage of 62.3 of all the grain handled in that period. More than 479,000,000 fish eggs, fry, fingerlings, and yearling fish and a few older fish were distributed last year from the hatchery establishments operated by the Fish Culture Division of the Canadian Department of Fisheries. Largest distribution was from the hatcheries in the Prairie Provinces. Nipigon River Bungalow Camp Trophy competition is getting some fine entries this season. Recently a trout of seven pounds and one ounce was put in, and shortly afterwards, a six pounds, fif- teen-ousce trout was taken. Catches of three to five-pound fish are frequent and one of the best seasons in years is reported from the camp. J. 0. Turcotte, Canadian Exhibition Commissioner, who visited Regina recently In connection with interior decoration in the magnificent new building which will house the World's Grain Ex- hibtion and Conference, states that a start on this work will be made immediately. Decoration will be in grain seeds, no paint of any kind being used. The Dutch wheat mixing law, effective July i, enforcing a maximum of 25 per cent, of soft domestic wheat in the making of bread in Holland, may lead to an increase of this percentage which should have the effect of creating a great demand for Canadian hard wheat, says J. C. Macgilli- vray, Canadian Trade Commissioner at Rotterdam.
