' I A Hot Contest Expected IN THE ELECTION OF SCHOOL TRUSTEE ON SATURDAY. Every Vote Sliould be Polled a* the Result will Likely Deeide the Location of the Hew School Site. Ki-erv elector interested in the school question should take a hand in to-mor- ro.v's election to fill tl.e vacancy on the school trustee board. Mr. Wl. Sutherland's term of office expires thi* month aud an election is thus made necessary. It is quite likely the Government will lie influenced by the result of the voting in the selection of a site for the new school building, Action must he taken immediately il the building is to be used for the fall term. The junior division cannot remain where it is after October, aod the trustees will novel* consent to tke room next the butcher shop being ustd foi* school purposes again, so it is apparent that unless .. building is erected! somewhere the junior division will have toclose. Tl.^ result ot the polling wiil show which aisle i* the strongest and whether the uew school building will be built on the south or north side of the liter. So far, we have only heard two names mentioned ���Wm Rutherford and J. W. Connors -us candidates for office. There may bs others but ws have not heard their names. J. W. Connors is on the north side and W. Butherford the south and both parties may be counted on pulling iheir best foot forward to register every available vote and the result will be awaited with much interest.

GOLDEN PLACER MINES INTERESTING BEVELOPifiSfs AT CANYON CREEK. The Golden Placer and Quartz Minim-*; Co's. Property Show- lisr Unmistakable Evidence of Richness���Large Amount Vork Done. Few people of Oolden are aware ..f the ex'ent of the operations of the Golden Placer Mining Co., at Canyon Creek. Mr. 11. Ksti'll, the local manager, took a representative of the Eka up to the woikingt la.t week, and a very in- ici est ing day was spent examining the work already done and following the course of the creek for a few miles ard noting the records of lho action of the water in by gone ages, when the waters were rushing down currying with them as sediment the material uf which tlte lend es of the valley are composed. After thii examination, the reasonableness of Mr. Estell's expectation of striking a rich paystreak when he roaches bedrock on his locution, il fully established, as tl.e stream throi'ghout. count less ages has been carrying the tiMierjal from its canyon, which is 1.0iv fully a thousand feet in depth, uud i.'cj railing it at the point where ilie shsft is now being sunk. The stream in its course has cut through . illusions ledges of gold tearing nuanz which may le seen en Ihe sides of the mountains enclosing its valley. Gold was first found by prospect ers who weie making their way from \V,ld Ifui'secr.ek to Carribou, at the time of tho uold rush ill the early GO'a, nud it i. rs. orte.l that s m $30,000 ��a* taken frum crevieis in the canyon *'| i|,at we l.al four deaths tii.,t time hut no efforts were made to ��a>l. tl.e gra-.el owing to the difficult uaiure of tho ground. Gold has heen found ihecutiie length of the stream and loci parties attempted to reach bedrock uear the point where Mr. Es- feile has sunk his shaft. Thieaticmpt Tailed owing to insufficient funds being furthcoming lo provide suitable ap- tiliui.uts lo cope with the water, and was abandoned nhim a depth of J8 or i���) feut hud bees, reached. Many at- ii.-i.ipi. have been snails, to work various sti'cul.cs of she river beJ in the canyon, tl.e season wheu work can bo B c-.nis.-J uii is so short and the difficu!- Iks to Lu overcome arc so many, thai no v, ry encouraging results havo been obtained. Mr. Estell in a very short lime clemied up $500 from one small Uli-it. the canyon, but work was carried uu under very difficult conditions, one ui these being a steady shower of rocks l.'u... lin. cliff above as if, the guardian s,,iiit3 O.'.iLo liidd.n wealth were de- i-.ru.ii.s.d lu defeat man's efforts tore* cover ii.

When bod rock is reached drifts will be run, aud Mr. Es'.eli's expectations of rich pay dirt will no d/tubt be realized is ihe recovery of golj in the canyon proves that ut one lime the stream was carrying down large quantities ofthe precious metal, I.I the location of his shaft nnd the high standard of excellence shown in all ihe construction work together with tl.e entire absence of any unnecessary expenditure Mr. Estell has .-.hown that coin non sense together with practical knowledge can accomplish much mure than a string of letters after a name.
