OUTLAND SILVER BAR This property consists of four claims, the Mountain Girl, Bar Silver, Mineral Zone, and Silver Bar, and is situated on the west side of the Salmon river glacier, about 23 miles from the Stewart dock, and on the Canadian side. While the above claims constituted the original group, twoj more have since been added, the Silver Bar No. 2 and the Eagle. Pederson and Johnson to return to the property later and commence active development work. STRIKE ON SILVERADO John Haati came down from the Silverado, Saturday night, and reported that he has located another, and very much better looking, lead on this property. This makes ten high grade leads that have to date been located on the property. John says nil the other leads look good, but this looks the best of the lot. The assay results have not yet been obtained.

Mr. Mackenzie states that the development of the mineral resources of this district have been retarded, owing to the fact that all the early government geological reports dealing with it, stated that while there are here large bodies of ore, they are of a very low grate, and until further research work is done and m'"" economical means of treating them is discovered, they ���annot be considered as of a commercial value.

CITIZENS' ASSOCIATION* THE annual meeting of the Citizens' Association takes places on Saturday night, and an excellent opportunity is thereby afforded for making any changes that may be considered necessary. One change that is being talked of, and is apparently receiving considerable certainly most uselul.

If not, why call it reparation? Such a term is an insult to the suffering and the dead. There is only one form of reparation that they would ask. and that is that their sacrifices be not forgotten, and that their dependants be given a chance. Will this money be used to improve the condition of the widow, the orphan and the , maimed? If not, then it is not in any way reparation; but is nothing but a contemptible money-grabbing commercialization of their sacrifice. NOTE AND COMMENT Cheer up! The finger of wealth points to Stewart and the Portland Canal district. If you are not satisfied with Stewart take a trip and see if you can find a better town. Wealth lessens rather than increases human happiness. Millionaires who laugh are rare. The man who pays for his weekly paper in advance is one of the noblest works of creation. improvement over the old and hap-i!pitai? Or the hell tortures of those who were left hazard manner adopted in the past rfor in this way collections will be facilitated, in, that they will all fall due on the same date. If a member joins in the middle of the year he will get a reduction in his membership fee in proportion to the length of time still to expire before the end of the Association year. Another iaea that will be introduced, is a change in the constitution as it affects membership. At the moment any one that pays his dues is eligible to become a member of the Association. This has worked a hardship on the community, in that the transient has had as much say in the affairs of the organization as has had the ratepayer or business man, and has worked to the disadvantage of the Association, for the reason that it has alienated the support of a lot of people who should take an active interest in its welfare. If the idea that will be introduced is accepted this will be changed; for by it before an applicant for membership in the Association is eligible such applicant will be required to be either a ratepayer, a bona fide business man in the town or district, or the owner of mineral claims in the district. - Doubtless there will be other changes, which at the moment have not bubbled to the surface, but which will be brought forward at the meeting. Some such organization as the Citizens' Association is absolutely essential to the welfare of the district, more so today than ever before. For while a great deal of very useful work has been accomplished, there is still greater work to be done, and the support of every permanent citizen of the community is needed as never before, that is if the problems that confront the district as a whole are going to receive the attention that they demand. Let every person in the town or district, that has a dollar invested in it, go to Saturday night's meeting determined, and not afraid to get on his feet and speak , Syllepsis of # Land M teiLnunf MRS.

The Emma mine at Eholt has closed. It is owned by Mann & Mackenzie and was at one time a big copper producer. Over $4000 worth of platinum, most valuable of all minerals, was mined in the Similkameen district during last year. Minining operations in northern British Columbia are on the increase. New properties are being worked, and old ones reopened. Coal in growing quantities is being wrested from the frozen , north, 600 miles within the Arctic ! circle and only ten degrees from j the Pole. Last week high grade ore was struck on the Tarn O'Shanter, four miles from Greenwood. Assay returns show $13.20 gold and 203 ounces in silver. Bill Hanna is reported to have struck a lead of first-class copper ore, containing quartzite and chalcopyrite, on his claims joining the Hidden Creek mine at Anyox. The lead is 90 feet wide and has been stripped for a considerable distance. It is considered one of the most important strikes in the district.

PRODUCTION DURING LAST TEN YEARS, $331,995,328 Lode mining has only been in progress for about 33 years, and not 20 per cent, of the Province has been even prospected; 300,000 square miles of unexplored mineral-bearing land are open for prospecting. The mining laws of this Province are more liberal and the fees lower than those of any other Province in the Dominion, or any Colony in the British Empire. Mineral locations are granted to discoverers for nominal fees. Absolute Titles are obtained by developing such properties, security of which is guaranteed by Crown Grants.

Roughly Vancouver is 800 miles from the same 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, theextentof which is only beginning to be realized. Immense deposits of anthracite coal have been located and the president of the Peaee River Board of Trade is authority for the statement that this coal grades higher than Pennsylvania coal.
