*__C / f THE OMINECA Vol. 4. No.~30: HAZELTON, B. G. JUNE 21. 1912 EIGHT PAGES THE TRAIL TO GROUND HOG The Only White Woman to Make the Trip Gives an Interview on Her Journeys. One of the most interesting stories that has yet been written on the trip over the trail from Hazelton to the Ground Hog coal fields is an interview in Collier's Weekly with Mrs. Campbell- Johnston, wife of the eminent coal mining engineer, and who is well known in Hazelton. Mrs. Campbell-Johnston has made the trip twice, and she is the only white woman who has ever made the journey, and probably the only one who ever will travel over the trail to that vast territory which means so much to the entire Dominion of Canada. Mrs. Campbell-Johnston is not only a great traveller, and a heroine, but she is also a clever writer herself. The only fault with the story she has already given of her travels to the far north is that it is far too short. No doubt Mrs. Campbell-Johnston will later on give to the world further details of her trips and of the country, possibly in a different form. NEW HAZELTON WILL GET DECISION EVIDENCE GIVEN FAVORS THAT POINT Engineer Affleck, One of the Chief Witnesses at the Re-Hearing, Expresses His Opinion, After Hearing the Whole Case==Not a Single Point Made by South Hazelton ���==Evidence for New Hazelton Even Stronger Than at First Hearing. Selling Out Sale The Acme Clothing Co. have decided to sell out the stock in the Hazelton branch as quickly as possible. To get rid of their goods they have put on a sale. Their announcement will be found in another column of this issue. Although the wires have been : down for several days, and word was received here the first of the week that the Railway Commis- sion would hand down its decision | on Tuesday, no word has yet been received. However, Engineer Affleck arrived in town yesterday about noon, having walked up from the bridge. He was one of the chief witnesses at the hearing on June 4th, and has just come from Ottawa. He stated to the Herald that in his opinion there can be no other decision than a confirmation of the decision of the late Judge Mabee. The evidence at the second hearing was all in favor of New Hazelton. South Hazelton did not score one point. For instance: As a place to put the town, the two places were equal; as a place to serve the north country, both places were equal; as for amount of money invested it was over- whelmly in favor of New Hazelton; for the number of people effected it was in favor of New Hazelton; for the number of people residing there it was all New Hazelton, as there is no one at South Hazelton and not even a shack; as a place for the mines TO HAVE BETTER FREIGHT SERVICE Steamer "Inlander" Will Deliver Two Hundred Tons a Week���Port Simpson is Coming THIRTY THOUSAND DOLLARS PILED UP IN TWO BIG CRIBS The freight situation in Hazelton is looking very much brighter this week, and there is not likely to be any more trouble. Tha Inlander will bring in two hundred tons of freight each week for Hazslton and district. This amount will carry the town along very nicely for some time, and in two or three weeks all trace of a congestion of up- river freight at Prince Rupert and Vancouver should be wiped out. The ; Bulkley Valley people will require from two hundred to four hundred tons of j freight between now and the close of navigation. The Hazelton merchants are not , planning to stock any winter goods before the boats stop, as there is no doubt to ship from, all the miners were for New Hazelton. About half the names submitted to the Com- ��� mission from old Hazelton, expressing opinions, were for New, Hazelton. Mr. Affleck also said that the engineers for South Hazelton admitted that it was impossible, j under present conditions to put a station at that town, and that the hill side would have to be extended 250 feet, and an enormous fill made, and that the grade of the entire road would have to be altered for a distance of four miles. It was clearly shown that both the railway and bridge engineers engaged to give evidence for South Hazelton knew nothing whatever about the country, and once they got away from then- profile they were at sea. The construction of the bridge (Continued on page 3) POST OFFICE FACILITIES Hazelton Wants More Clerks to Handle the Mail and also a Daily Service to New Hazelton While Post Office Inspector Fletcher, Vancouver, was in town this week a committee from the Board of Trade waited upon him and placed before him a request from the Board of Trade for better post office accommodation here. The committee asked for two more clerks in the local office and pointed out the necessity for them. The mail matter for this town and district has increased to such an extent that it is utterly impossible for one clerk to handle it with any dispatch. The committee also asked for a mail service to Ground Hog coal fields. That district ia increasing its population very rapidly and even at the present time there would b< a great deal of mail matter for that country if the people knew that they could get it. A request was also made for a daily mail service to and from New Hazelton. That town is growing in importance, and as there are two stage lines running daily trips it would be a very simple matter. At present New Hazelton gets mail only twice a week, and the people there are put to great inconvenience. Mr. Fletcher heard the requests of the committee, and he will report to the department. BASEBALL TOURNAMENT TO BE HELD FIRST JULY Ore T..ken from Silver Standard Shaft is the Wonder of the Camp ==Mining Men of Long Experience Never Saw the Equal���An Ideal Mining Property in the minds of the people in the district The Hazelton Tigers to Try Conclusions With the Crack Aggregation It is not every dav that one has the privilege of walking on a street paved with silver and lead, nor is it every day that one is privileged to look upon $25,000 piled up in a couple of bins built with cedar and hemlock logs. It is just as unusal to see three hundred tons of $250 and $300 ore taken out of a 130 foot development shaft. But anyone who will walk or ride out to Silver Standard mine will see all these things with his own eyes. On the north side of Glen mountain, overlooking the beautiful Kispiox Valley, is the Silver Standard mine which is owned by a syndicate I of contractors and sub-contractors connected with the construction of the j Grand Trunk Pacific. About two years ago this property was bonded from Geo. McBean by J. W. Stewart, Angus Stewart, D. McLeod, A. L. McHugh and others, and the [first years work was under the direction of McBean who started the shaft on the vein near the top of the mountain. Up until last winter he had sunk to a depth of about seventy or eighty feet and had taken out a hundred but that the railway will be delivering freight all the way in the early fall.

Some of this was assayed | chants will stock much winter goods and gave values as high as $800 to the ' ton. The average value across the vein is in the neighborhood of $250 to $300 per ton. Mr. McBean retired from the work to take a trip, nnd Mr. Haskins was engaged as superintendant and he took up the work where McBean left off and has been sinking ever since. On Saturday afternoon when visited by the Herald man the shaft was down (Continued on page 2) until the railway establishes the new "end of steel."

In the two bins were at least 150 tons (all :>re) and it is doubtful if even a small sample could be found in the two bins that would assay less than $150 a ,ton. Lots of samples could be picked uii that would run $000 to $800 a ton. Hut a fair, or a conservative estimate of the entire pile would be from $250 to $800 a ton. This should give a net re- i turn of at least $20,000or $25,000. That is making money pretty fast, and especially when it is remembered this shaft is only a prospect hole and is being sunk for development purposes This does not include the 100 tons of ore taken out of the snaft last year and which is equally as valuable. It is the intention of the company to continue the shaft to a depth of about 200 feet and then they propose to start a tunnel several hundred feet down the hill to cross-cut this big vein, and to also cross-cut the three other veins lower down the hill and that have not yet been opened up. Phis tunnel will be the main working tunnel and will enable the owners to operate on a grade with the government wagon road. From this point they have almost a down hill pull all the way to New Hazelton, the pcint where the owners propose doing their shipping. It may be that later the company will build a wagon road from the Nine Mile wagon road a distance of a- bout one mile to connect with the mine on the south side and then drive a tunnel from that side. By this means all the nine veins on the property would be cross-cut and ready for working. The Nine Mile road would also be shorter | and more direct to the railway. Comparing the showings on Silver Standard with the showings made in other camps in the early days, the Silver Standard is in a class by itself. The great silver lead properties in the Couer d'Alenes were over two years before they produced the ore or showed the strength of the ore body that is now exposed on the Silver Standard. Th.* Standard Mine in the Cour d'Alenes was operated four years before it occupied the position that Silver Standard does today. In short Silver Standard is making new records every day. isfied to tunnel instead of sinking. There are several veins on the Surprise and it is expected that the tunnel will cut them all. As a starter the tunnel will only be driven about 150 feet when the first vein should be exposed, rapidly nearing completion. The ground is ideal stuff to break and the boys are making progress at the rate of four feet a day. At the present rate it will be only a few days until the first ore body is struck. Mr. Cameron has received word that C. D. Rand and others interested in the property will visit Hazelton in the near future. LAND NOTICES. Omineca Land Disirict���District of ��� Coast. Range V.

The initial cost of the bridge would be a little more than farther down the river, but the latter site would J have heavy grades. Mr. Affleck's story is decidedly in variance with the reports that! were wired to the coast papers, which, he said, appeared to be | deliberately garbled. G. U. Ryley was in the witness [ box, and in the cross-examination he was made to admit that the | only reason his company had adopted South Hazelton was because they got half the lots free and that the New Hazelton owners refused to give his company that concession.

Brown has taken an option on the five claims staked last week by R;dsdale and Gore on the Morrice River, and is going out this week to look them over. On Sunday F. A. Brown came over from Rocher de Boule and reported that they had run into eight feet of solid ore in the winze being sunk from the Pemberton tunnel. There have been a large number of interested visitors to the property the past week or two. On Tuesday Duke Harris packed up the camp outfit for the men who will get on Hazelton View Group of four claims on Rocher de Boule mountain, End which adjoin Rocher de Boule mine. The upper vein on the big property runs into the Hazelton View group and the boys propose to drive a tunnel on their claims to tap that vein. Messrs, Martin, Sargent, Halleran and Thompson returned on Saturday last from the Bear River country where they spent a few days doing assessment work. They had intended doing considerable development work but the weather turned very bad and they came back and will shortly go over to their Rocher de Boule property. Jas. Dyer, a pioneer of the Rossland camp, and who also has an interest in the Dyer-Stephenson property on Four Mile Mountain, arrived in town on Sunday last and spent several days on the property doing assessment work. He leaves this week for Kitsumkalum where he is also working a property. The drift on the vein from the shaft on the Harris mines is now in 120 feet and the ore remains the same as previously reported. The boys are satisfied so far and have decided to start sinking again on the main shaft and continue it down to the 200 foot level when they will run another drift. The shaft is now down 137 feet and to complete it will take about five or six weeks. R. G. Steele, of the Hudson's Bay Mountain Mining Co., arrived last Thursday and reports everything in good shape at the mine. At first they had a hard time to get in on account of the trail being bad, but they put several men to work for some days and now have a good road up to the properly. The tunnel has been started and Pete Schuffer, who has the contract, is breaking ground fast. The samples of the ore brought in from Morrice River last week by Messrs. Ridsdale and Gore have created considerable interest in that district among the old prospectors, a great many of whom came into town after the Herald was published, and who first learned of the strike through the columns of this paper. One of the best known prospectors stated that if the boys had as many veins, and if the veins were the size the boys say, there is nearly enough ore there to keep a small smelter going. Dr. Clement of New York, and Mr. De Bois, two mining experts who have been in the district for a couple of weeks or more, have just returned from a trip to the Telkwa Mountain district, where they went over Mr. Clarke's property. They are preparing a report on it for New York capitalists, and all they could say at the present time was that they were favorably impressed. On Thursday morning they went down to Skeena Crossing in company with L. L. DeVoin, and then visited Rocher de Boule. After that they returned down the river. Mr. DeBois expects to come back to Hazelton in the near future. R. P. Trimbell, of Portland, Ore., j returned to Hazelton on Sunday night last and will remain in the district for the balance of the season. He has several propositions in the mining line to look into as soon as he can get around to it. He is open to consider any good mining propositition that is offered and j he is prepared to go ahead with the development at once. Mr. Trimble is known to every one in the district through his connection with the Rocher de Boule property which he and Mr. Pemberton developed to such an extent that they were able to turn it to the first big outfit that looked it over, and the turn was a decidedly favorable one to themselves. Mr. Trimble will be welcomed to the district and it is hoped that he will soon get hold of something that will meet with his approval. PROFESSIONAL CARDS L.W. PATMORE Barrister, Solicitor and Notary Public Prince Rupert, B. C. CARSS & BENNETT barristers Third Ave. Prince Rupert After spending a few weeks in the district and being successful in locating a property on Nine Mile mountain which is very promising Jas. C. Nation and A. D. Wooler returned to Vancouver this week. The boys located several claims just southwest of the Harris Mines and they have already done considerable work on it. They have thus far been working on a small vein of grey copper and galena which appeared like a knife blade on the surface, but which has widened out to six inches within fifteen feet. Mr. Wooler has been prospecting for the past twenty- nine years and he says that he thinks more of this country than any other district he has been in. He is well satisfied with the property they have located on Nine Mile and they will be back here again as soon as he completes some work on a property on Vancouver Island, this will be about the first of August. 0.

ROGERS, AGENT Telephone \U :-: Prince Rupert writing, March 25th, as the ground is thickly covered with snow as the result J of two storms during the last three | days, but by the time this paper reaches its readers, warm weather will be in sight, if not actually here. Much has recently been written as to the necessity of providing shade for all fowls, and especially for growing chicks but from an inspection of many poultry plants it is evident that more needs yet to be said. Sunflowers planted close to the coops will give some shade, and if pole beans are planted near them, the vines, twining around the sunflower stalks, will thicken the shade. But if you do not provide living shade, you can make light frames of various sizes, and cover them with muslin, and adjust them in different places and positions so that the glare and burning of July and August sun can be somewhat tempered, and the chickens made comparatively comfortable even during hot weather. Fresh, cool water must be frequently provided for all fowls, both old and young, they will enjoy it, and they need it. Do not think because there is water before them, put there several hours before, that they do not need ? new supply. Go out with a bucket of fresh water, and see how eagerly they will crawd to get to it, and you will then be convinced as to what is the right thing to do.
