No Advertising Accepted for First Page THAT PLACER STAMPEDE "Oldtimers" in Vancouver and Victoria are advising against a stampede into the Dease Lake country this spring. We do not know whether these "Oldtimers" exist in the flesh, or only in the fertile imagination of some copy-sl-y reporter. In either caso their warning will serve only to stimulate interest in the old placer camp. When the hardships are pointed out, The city youth knows this and says to himself: "Gee--I'm just as good a man as he was at my age. The terrors of the north didn't get him, nnd they can't get me;" and he is probably right. In any case, the fellow in ar.y walk of life who will not take a chance will never get anywhere. The writer has hit the trail on foot many hundreds of miles, both summer and winter, and prefers the winter. The hard-1 est part about winter travel is making up your mind to start. After you get into it there is nothing to it except to keep on going; no flies, tangle-foot willows, devil- clubs, muskegs or swollen streams. Of course, one has to know how to take care of himself, but that should come natural to anyone with ordinary intelligence. The greatest fault of the inexperienced is loading themselves down with nonessentials. It takes very little to get along with. When they are on the trail awhile they will throw these things away. Common ser.se will tell them what to keep. Of course there will be disappointments; there always are. As always, a percentage will be physically or mentally unfit for the life; but on the other hand, there will be parhaps wealth, and certain-] ly invaluable experience, for many whoj_��er: would never break away from the rut they are in except for some such incentive as the lure of gold.

C. Silver which reached the $1.30 mark, with heavy demand. Dunwell and Glacier remained steady with a big demand for the latter with low offerings. This stock appears to remain around the 30 cent mark, awaiting- reports of the diamond drills. Continued strong demand for the Porter Idaho Mining Com-! pany'8 first treasury issues proves the fact that the public are desirous of getting in on a shipping property. The southern markets are beginning to awake to the opportunities of the Portland Canal District, which is proved by the fact of the great number of inquiries continually coming in, in reference to local mining properties.
