VOL. 8, NO. 10 STEWART, BRITISH COLUMBIA, FRIDAY, JULY 30, 1926 $5 THE YEAR���10c. the Copy FINE RESULTS ON HIGH GRADE Two Great Veins Being Developed on Claims in Marmot Section Staked Late Last Fall Startling results are being obtained on the High Grade group, owned by W. R. Harner and Homer Ficklin and situated at the head of Magee Pass, in the Marmot river section. Mr Harner and H. Scovil made a trip to the property this week and brought out 90 pounds of samples that look even better than those secured about a week ago, which gave assay results as follows: No. 1 vein, average of 8 feet: Gold, 0.42 oz., $8.40: silver, 94.2 oz., $61.20; lead, 19 per cent, ��30.40; zinc, 17.1 percent, $20.40 total value per ton. $119.40. No. 2 vein, average of 7 feet: Gold, 3.4 oz., $68.00; silver, 10 oz., $6.50; total value per tbn, $74.50. Work done on No. 2 vein since the above assays were made, shows that just below the leached capping of the vein the lead and zinc sulphides are coming in, and the ore of both veins is practically identical at a few feet of depth. Under the supervision nt Homer Ficklin, nine open cuts have been made across No. 1 vein at distances of from 100 to 110 feet apart, showing the vein to vary from six to 15 feet in width with the same character of ore in all the cuts. The vein has been traced for another 900 feet and crosscut by an open trench at this point. On No. 2 vein six open cuts show a width of vein from seven to 15 feet. This vein has been traced for a distance of 2400 feet. The veins lie parallel and about 500 feet apart, and the topography is such that both can be developed by tunnels. The High Grade group consists of seven claims, is only seven "������les from tidewater at the mouth of the Marmot, and is ideally situated for an aerial tram. A good pack trail was built to the property this summer by the owners, and two pack trains ef 11 and 14 horses respectively delivered the camp equipment and mining supplies about three weeks ago. The property was discovered by Homer Ficklin on the 24th of September last year, being sent thereby W.R.Harner, who had heard of high grade float being f��und in that vicinity.

There has been no money wasted, so far as could be seen. "I am sorry that the time at my disposal was so limited as to prevent me from seeing more of the camp. Speaking generally, from what I have learned through conversations and otherwise, during my stay, I believe you have a district here which will eventually be able to boast of not a few, but many producing mines." Mr Irwin left for Vancouver Monday night on the Cardena. He was accompanied on the trip by Mrs Irwin. Basketball Games The Premier Eskimos won a rough-and-tumble game of basketball last Friday night at the mine from the Stewart team by a score of 18 to 16. This is the first game of the series lost by the home team. Tonight there will be a game in the Opera House between Stewart and the Premier Maroons. The game will commence at 8:30 and be followed by a dance. Registration of Voters Aug. 9th Royal Proclamation ordering the issuance of writs for a general election is contained in a supplement of the Canada Gazette just published. The writs are issued July 20 and are returnable Nov. 2. The same issue of the Gazette formally calls Parliament to assemble in Ottawa Nov. 17. The extra session probably would end before Christmas. Registration of voters throughout Canada, it is announced, will commence on August 9 and extend to and include August 14. In rural districts the first lists must be completed by August 30. Both urban and rural lists are subject to revision. SINKING SHAFT ON SILVER CREST C.M.Oliver, of C. M. Oliver & Co., Vancouver brokers, has spent a week in camp, with Mrs Oliver, their headquarters being the Premier mine. Mr Oliver visited all the leading mining properties of the Salmon river section, including the Silver Crest, in which he is heavily interested. While here he let a contract to Bert Olson, a local hard rock miner, to sink a shaft on the Silver Crest, starting in an open cut wher�� an assay of 176 ounces in silver across five feet was obtained. The shaft will follow the foot wail down, with a crosscut to the hanging wall every ten feet. During the winter a considerable amount of tunnel work was done, and when the shaft has reached a certain depth it is the intention to drive a crosscut to it from the tunnel. While the shaft is being sunk some surface work will be done to open up several of the Silver Tip veins which have been traced up to a short distance from the Silver Crest lines and strike into this group. Of great importance to the Silver Crest operations is the recent entrance into the company of strong financial interests of Spokane, placing the company on a firm financial footing and assuring funds for carrying out a thorough exploration of the property. PROGRESS ON ROAD WORK The heavy rock work on the lower end of the Marmot river road has been completed and the gang there is now extending the road up the valley, the forks of the river being the objective. The pot table compressor has been brought over to Stewart to be used in connection with taking off a number of rock points and widening the road between Stewart and Hyder. It is reported that some $11,000 is available for this work. Good progress is being made with the new cut-off from Bitter creek bridge to Bear lake, it being nearly completed, shortening the main Bear river road approximately a mile between the town and the lake. Next season it is expected that the Muddy Gulch problem will be solved. Conservative Meeting The local Conservative Association will hold a meeting, at which all Conservatives are requested to be present, at 8 p.m., Wednesday, Aug. 4, upstairs in the Beaman block. OPTIMISM WAS THEJCEY NOTE Representative Gathering Of Business Men at Complimentary Dinner Speak Of Stewart's Future Punctuated with optimism and useful suggestions, several very interesting speeches were given at the dinner held last Monday evening under the auspices of the Board of Trade, in honor of W.F.Irwin, of the financial firm of R. P. Clark & Co., of Vancouver and Victoria, who has just completed a week's sojourn in the district looking over mining properties and investigating possibilities. Introduced by W, C. Cameron, president of the Board, Mr Irwin explained that he was no stranger to the district, having visited here in the boom dayi of 1910 but on coming back this time he was greatly impressed with the much improved solidity of the camp, as proof of which were the shipping mines that have been developed, with others coming along very fast indeed, and from what he had seen, the district has a tremendous future as a great producer of metals. What is needed however is more capital for development, and when the confidence of the investing public in this province is well established, there is little doubt that a large amount of capital will be forthcoming. He emphasized the fact that there exists in B.C. all the capital that is required for the making of more than one mine. What is needed however is the obtaining for B.C. capital one or two winners, then this province would not be under the handicap of the past of having to go to Montreal, Toronto, London and New York for development money. With the great Groundhog coalfields only 90 miles behind Stewart, on the shortest possible rail route for the vast Peace River wheat belt to the coast, in his opinion it would be only a matter of a few years when Stewart will become one of the most progressive cities on the coast. "A vast empire, filled with untold natural resources, lies immediately at your back door," he said, "that every effort should be at once made to develop. However, this will take time and perseverence. You have here a wonderful district, with wonderful possibilities, and what I wonld suggest is that every resident, when talking or writing to people from other parts, tell them (Continued on Page 4) ���������- ��-.. - .

And, remember, there is no line that will withstand as much bad management as a good mine blessed with plenty of pay ore. On the other hand, there are few industrial enterprises that can stand up even for a few months under bad management. What guarantee is there that even the most stable securities will last long Reading enough to return the capital invested at present prices? Absolutely none and yet investors are bombarded with advice to purchase no securities but those bearing small rates of interest. By so doing they limit their chances of financial independence and still fail to buy absolute safety. There is no such thing. DALBY B. MORKILL MINING SUBVEYOB B. C. Laud Surveyor STEWART, B. C.

ALL THINGS ARE SPECULATIVE (Southwest Mining News Service) All things are speculative, most of all life itself. There is nothing certain, except that we are on our way, we know not whither. Today, tomorrow, next week, the curtain may drop for us upon the last act. It is so in all lines of business, no matter what may be said by the banker or the investment banker. The bonds they offer with such glib assurance were originally based upon flimsy speculative values and tomorrow the values placed behind them may evaporate and leave but highly ornamental certificates behind. In an industrial enterprise speculation comes last and net first; in a mining project speculation comes first, not last. Any industrial project demands housing, raw material, machinery and selling force. Those can be easily acquired, if the capital be forthcoming, but there can never be any assurance that the market will absorb the article produced. On the other hand, if a mine develops pay ore there is never any question about the market. Metals always have a price and, after deductions have been made for transportation and marketing, the balance comes to a resting place in the hands of the producer speedily and without fail. More failures are recorded among industrial projects of all kinds than in mining enterprises. Given a fair surface showing, honest management and ample capital, there is far greater ehance of big recovery from mines than from any other F. C. GREEN (Green Bros., Burden & Co.) CIVIL ENGINEERS B. C. LAND SURVEYORS Stewart, B. C. IT WOULD NOT BE GOOD A report from Montreal published in the news columns last week is to the effect that negotiations are under way for the purchase, by the C.N.R. system, of the Union Steamships Co. In the interests of shippers all along the coast of British Columbia, it is to be hoped this deal does not materialize. Competition would be throttled, and the coast towns be at the mercy of a service that is so erratic, with continually changing schedules, that, as recently said by a prominent business man of Prince Rupert, "you never know where to put your finger on them, but the Union boats can be depended upon, year in and year out, whether business is good or not, always on the same day." The Canadian Government is ostensibly opposed to trusts. There are laws on the statute books forbidding combinations of common carriers in restraint of trade. Ts the Government now trying to form a steamship trust of its own so that it can dictate fares and shipping rates, and provide a service to suit the whims of the various officials in charge without respect to the needs and wishes of the communities they serve?

Walker on the geology and mineral deposits of the Windermere district British Columbia, has been published by the Geological Survey. The area is underlain to a great extent by sedimentary formations of the Precambrian age. Correlations are made between these formations and similar Precambrian sediments farther south described by Dr, S.J. Schofield and Dr. R. A. Daly. The age relationships of the Palae- zoic formations exposed in the eastern part of the area are also matters of careful consideration. The most important mineral deposits are lead-silver and lead- silver-zinc deposits. They are of the fissure and bed-vein type and are generally associated with minor flexures on the limbs of large folds. The leading properties are described.

Hyder Alaska The recent development work on the Marsh mine at Burke, Idaho, being so expensive and proving disappointing, the trustees of the company advocated the suspension of work for the tj"-e being or until arrangements could be effected for the drilling of the property. With the idea of reinforcing the stockholders' investment it wus believed that the best interests of the company could be served by concentrating its energies on a property such as the Cassiar Crown, one of the most promising properties in the Omineca district. During the month of June negotiations were entered into by F, Cushing Moore, vice president and engineer of the Marsh company, whereby the company should take oyer control of the stock of the Cassiar Crown. This plan was unanimously supported by the stockholders. The deal is directly between the Marsh company and the Cassiar Crown company without commission or profit to anybody, and any money paid by the Marsh company toward the purchase will go into the old shaft. Future work in the No. 2 will be in an oie body at greater depth and 100 feet distant from the north face of the drift at the No. 1 tunnel level, where an ore shoot has been proven for a length of 187 feet, with both faces in ore.

WAKEFIELD Light and Heavy Transfer Wood for Sale We Buy Bottles Stand at Welcome Pool Hall CARSON'S TAXI At All Hours STEWART HOTEL The feature of this week's market was the rapid rise in Dunwell. This advance had been predicted by all the brokers and the two dollar mark in Dunwell is expected by the present week end. It appears as if fhe ires- en t price of Dunwell will be the last low offering, as with the completion of the mill and tramway in sight, Dunwell will be in the dividend paying class early aext year. The ore body on the Marmot Metals property that is daily being opened up, and the exceptionally good reports that are being brought into town by visitors to the mine, are having their effect on the market, and the few cheap blocks of stock are quickly being absorbed. It is expected in the very near future that Marmot Metals will be one of the most active stocks on the southern markets. B.C.Silver slackened off a few points. But very little of this stock is available. After the last flurry in Indian the stock has remained very in- active, and is expected to until some new deal comes up.

OPTIMISM WAS THEJCEY NOTE Representative Gathering Of Business Men at Complimentary Dinner Speak Of Stewart's Future (Continued from Page 1) of it, and keep on tailing them of it, and in time the world will recognize its future, and ample money will be available for development." George Clothier, government resident mining engineer, was the next speaker. Like Mr Irwin, he could speak intimately of the past and present. In the course of his remarks he said: "The district today is without doubt more firmly established than ever, and its future assured." II.J.Schramli, an investor who has been hero for a week or more investigating certain operations in which he invested, endorsed the opinions of the other speakers. "Even though I sunk a considerable sum of money in a certain proposition, I am glad I came to Stewart, for I am more than ever convinced of its future, and the possibilities here for capital, and in spite ef my loss I can say that my confidence is such that I intend to invest more money." One thing that should be done, in his opinion, was to eliminate the unscrupulous promoter such as he invested with. Give capital good organization, efficient and honest management, and re-establish the confidence of the investor. and there will be ample capital for development. Several others also spoke, all being agreed as to the future. H.D. Rochfort put into plain language what the others had hinted at and that was "boost the honest endeavors to make mines, and do not knock except when it appears that an operation is not honest in its endeavor.
