C, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1917. $2 PER YEAR G[ive Them Socks Valentine Dance—Wednesday Feb'y 14 Premier Lloyd George said not long ago "Let us Sing". And the Empire is Singing—The War Song. And on the anniversary of St. Valentine,* February 14 the Women and Girls of Lillooet say "Let us Dance"—So let it be.—Dance! John Bull and Britannia can still sing and dance for they have reason to do so more today than ever before in their history. For are they not in the forefront of World Progress? Do they not today lead in the fight against the Horrible Hun and his devilry? And if the Sons of the Empire who have paid the supreme sacrifice have knowledge of our doings, can it be imagined that they wish us to hinder the expression of our brighter natures. A thousand times No! They are not dead, but live in the deeds they have done the trail they have blazed and the everlasting nobility of the principles for whichthey willingly threw off their mortal shell. They live and say to us with our great ieader "Sing and Sing again." But all are not singers. Many express themselves by the rhythmic dance. Let the Women's Patriotic League, by whom this is being arranged, feel encouraged by a large attendance for they have knitted many pairs of sox and made other comforts for soldiers, which will be on view in Mr. D. Hurley's store, Come along and buy your ticket at the Post Office, at Santini Store or at the',Box "Office (Santini Hall) on night of dance at from 7.30 to 8.30 p.m. Tickets are only 50c. for adults, and 25c. for children over twelve years of age. Price includes refreshments. Those who do not dance will find card tables etc. for their use in the small hall. This is entirely the enterprise of the women of the town. Sup- portit"Boys. Mr. and Mrs. Miller have gone to reside at East Lillooet. S. A. Macfarlane arrived in . town recently. Word was received this week from the Front stating that Teddy Holt and Frank Gott are on the way home. A telephone has been installed in the Lillooet Hospital. , Wm. Elliott has sold his interest in the Kirby-Elliott pool hall to Cliff Baldwin. Fishing is good in the Lake creek. A record eatch is reported by the local boys. Wm. Durban is in town from his ran ch. on the Short Portage. Everything is looking prosperous in this section-. The P.G.E. train was delayed Monday by ■ a gravel slide at . Seton Lake. Instead of arriving at 8 p.m. Monday, it arrived about 2.30 a.m. Tuesday. A party of men arrived in town Tuesday enroute for the Pioneer mine. Mr. Ferguson is expected here in the course of a few days. It is anticipated that with the coming of spring there will be ushered Jn a period of mining activity in the Lillooet Division that will do much to place us in i a prominent position in mining Circles Few undeveloped mineral sections have the showing-that are to be found here, and developement on several properties show that ore bodies hold remarkably well to depth. THE LILLOOET MINING DIVISION The Following Report Appeared in the Preliminary Review and Estimate of Mineral Production for 1916 By Wm. Fleet Robertson, Provincial Mineralogist Speaking of Lode Gold the report states :— "One encouraging feature is a large increase from Lillooet Division, which produced 2,625 oz. as compared with 31 oz. in 1915." The Cadwallader Creek camp is the most important part of the Lillooet Mining Division, and an important productive lode-gold mining camp. It is by the present route, via Mission mountain, about fifty-five miles from the Pacific Great Eastern railway. A good auto-road connects the camp with Mission station, which is about 10 miles from the town of Lillooet. During 1916 there has been more activity on Cadwallader creek than during previous years, and the production has been larger. Three mills have been running continuously from early in June until November. The Lorne, Pioneer, Coronation, and Wayside "mines have each been actively operated, and the three first mentioned have produced satisfactory returns. The Lorne group have been operated by A. F. Noel, of Lilloo- et^jmder a bond from the owners, the Lorne Amalgamated Mining Company. He has had about ten or twelve men at work, and haa- continued the main adit which was started some years ago, until he has reached an ore- body at about 250 feet below the upper workings, from which ore was mined and treated in an ar- rasta in 1900. In future this adit, which is a crosscut about 400 ft. long, will be the main haulage- way from the mine-workings to the 5-stamp mill, the portal of the adit being at a slightly higher elevation than the grizzly and ore-bin at the mill. The mill was operated from June untU-Novem- ber, and was only closed down because of breaking the camshaft, otherwise Mr. Noel intended to attempt to continue operations during the winter and establish a record. The cost of milling is reliably reported to have been as low as $4.60 a ton, and the average gold content saved from the ore somewhere about $10 a ton. The Coronation mine has been worked by B. Perry under a lease from the Coronation Mining Company, but near the end of the year the Company made a deal with George Ayland, the managing director of the Standard Silver Lead Mining Company, who has taken over the property and will operate it in future. The work done during the past season was principally confined to further development on the Countless mineral claim, one of the group contained in the property. The development-work is reported to show an increase in the width of the vein in the drift from about 8 inches to nearly 5 feet of ore that assays high in gold, An assay from the narrow part of the vein is reported by Mr. Aylard as showing 4 oz. gold to the ton. The 10-stamp mill at the Coronation mine operated only a portion of last season, treating ore from the old stopes on the Little Joe mineral claim of the group, also ore sorted from the old dumps, all of which is reported to have yielded fair returns, especially considering that the old plates in the mill were in poor condition, and consequently much \jC9ld was lost in the tailings, The Pioneer Mining Company operated the Pioneer mine continuously during 1916. A sawmill, run by steam-power, capacity 1,000 feet b.m.; a Lane mill, capacity about 15 tons a day; a rock-crusher; air-compressor, capacity six drills; hoist and pump, driven from the air-compressor, were installed and operated continuously from June last. The mill, compressor, and rock-crusher are run by water - power, developed by a dam and flume a quarter of a mile long. An upraise was made from the old adit level to the service, and connected with a winze from the adit level sunk to a depth of 100 feet, with stations opened at 50-ft and 100-foot levels below the adit, Drifts were driven to the east and west for about 80 feet on each level and stopes opened. About 1,500 tons of ore was mined and milled during the season. The yield is reported as very satisfactory, especially from the lower on page 3 NEAR AND FAR Canada is rapidly becoming one of the greatest commercial countries of the world. Its trade with the United States durincr the 12 months ending in August last amounted to more than a billion and a half dollars. The Dominion purchased from Great Britain last year goods to the value of $111,- 584,000 and sold it $646,504,000 worth. It bought from the U.S. during the same period goods valued at $492,483,000 and sold to the United States $247,984,000 worth. Its balance with Great Britain was $534,920,000, while with the United States the adverse balance was $244,499,000. Canada's exports of wheat and flour increased from $116,000,000 the previous year to $360,000,000. The Grand Trnnk officials have received a message from Mr. A. E. Disney, who is agent on the North Pacific at Seattle fora number of transportation companies, stating that he had received a telegram from the Dominion minister of the interior to the effect that it would be necessary for all passengers to be supplied in future with a regular passport obtained from the state department at Ottawa. Letters of identification and other certificates would not now be accepted. Paris, Jan. 6—A special Ha vas despatch from the British front in France, says :— General Sir Douglas Haig today commands the largest £rmy Great Britain ever levied on her soil. The number of effectives in the British army in France on January 1 was nearly two million men, completely trained and ready day or night to receive orders from their com- mander-in-cjiief. This figure only refers to the British forces in France, and is exclusive of those employed in the defence of Great Britain, Ireland^, India, Solonica, Egypt, Mesopotamia and Africa. The Granby smelter is running only two out of eight furnaces. The Nelson News reports that during December four cars of silver-lead ore, shipped from the Utica Mine to Trail, netted the company close to"$30,000;. one car alone running over $8,000. A shipment of 45 tons of ore which was -made from the Monitor mine, Alberni canal, recently to the Trail smelter, netted $50 a ton, going nine per cent, copper. Another shipment/ of low grade ore will go forward shortly. The gold production of the various districts is estimated to have bten approximately as follows:— i Rossland 129,790 oz. Boundary 82,731 " Nelson 7,477 '* Skeena 4,401 " Coast 3,148 " Lillooet 2.635 " All others 2,737 " It is reported that five, feet of ore has been struck in the lowest level of the Galena Farm Mine in the Slocan. Twenty mines with a total ton- age of 8,579 tons, shipped to the Trail smelter during the week of January 21. It is reported from Agassiz that the copper-gold property on the top of Cunningham mountain which was located in the seventies, is to be re-opened. Canada is producing two. new minerals as a direct result of the war, according to a statement made by Dr. Adams, at a meeting of the commission on conservation. One is magnesium, which is now being used to make star shells for the Canadians on the Western front, and the other ferro-molybdenum, which is being exported both to Russia and Britain. In their trade circular letter issued by Griffith-Durney Co., of San Francisco, they say: From the figures received from all parts of the coast, most of which are official, we are able to present to you our estimate of the total salmon pack of 1916 as follows in cases of 48 pounds to the case; Alaska 4,800,000; Puget Sound (600,000; British Columbia 995,000; | Columbia River 580,000; Oregon- Washington coast streams 125,- 000; Sacramento and Monterey 21,000. Total 7,121,000. A young conple went to a minister's house to get married. After the ceremony the bridegroom drew the minister aside and said in a whisper: "I'm sorry I have no money to pay your fee, but if you'll take me down into your cellar I'll show you how to fix your gas meter so that it won't register." "Miss Norah, if it wasn't for Tirrence O'Brien that do be coortin' ye, I'd be after havin' somgthin' to say to ye mesilf th' night." "It's very considerate ye are, Mr. Mulligan, but did ye niver hear that prisint company is always accipted?" A.damo Schiavon was charged with theft, yesterday. He was committed for trial at next assize. Constable J. Bourne left with the prisoner on this morning's train. t\ THE LILLOOET PROSPECTOR The Lillooet Prospector Published in the Interest of Lillooet District. A. E. LUDWIG, Manager. FEB. 9, 1917. MR. JOSEPH MAttTIN Mr. Joseph Martin i&- a very, interesting character, and the announcement of his withdrawal from the Liberal canditure of Cariboo was a pieceof news that once more brought his name uppermost on the wave of current things. But this is only one of many instances, for Mr. Martin's z name is always coming up in one way or another. His familiar abreviated appellative of "Joe" means that he has established a claim on public notice. In some cases > it means that he has established a claim on public admiration, for there are people who think there is nobody like him either as a lawyer or a man. And in support of this opinion they can adduce many substantial reasons. To hear "Joe" speak at a political meeting is to understand something of his personal magnetism and his power. Beginning in the quietest and most suave of ways, he puts his case before his hearers with convincing logic. In a calm and equable voiee he arrays his arguments. We get a glimpse as we listen to the ability which has influenced juries and even judges. He does not tire us. There is apparently nothing artificial or strained about the manner in which he enlarges on his subject. And even when he gets to the point of denouncing his political adversary, he does not "tear a passion to tatters." In his most acccusatory periods he does not foam at the mouth, split his collar, or wipe the perspiration from his brow. In fact he does not get half so an^ry and declamatory as some of the Dicks, Toms, or Harrys of the political organizations. Yet there is no doubt about his hitting. He hits hard, and his blows have all tfte more power from the fact that they are sometimes delivered with half a smile. Sixty-four years of age, and still at his prime or only a little past it, Hon. Joseph Martin (for at various times he has held Cabinet rank both in Manitoba and B.C. and was once, for an hour or two, premier) is a genuine son of Canada. He was born in 1852 on a farm in Ontario and there began his education. It was. continued at the Michigan state Normal school, and at the provincial Normal school in Toronto, for school-teaching was the avenve into which his keen ' intellectual powers were first directed. He had therefore a good start, for farmers' sons get a hold of the earth that is obtainable in no other way, and beginning life among the people they understand and know the roots of our democracy. But while young Martin was teaching school, and teaching it so effectively that some of his old pupils still look back at that period of his life with full appreiation; he had his eye on the profession that was to be the main employment of his-life. He did not have any university education beyond passing the exams, for the second year of the Arts Course in Toronto. He hung up his shingle as a full fledged barrister in Manitoba in 1882, when Winnipeg was beginning to be thought of a possible coming city. He practiced his profession successfully at Portage la Prairie and in Winnipeg; and his first important "strike" came when he was appointed special counsel for the C.P.R. in 1897. But he had already begun to dabble in politics. It was impossible that one of such gilts, who stood head and shoulders above those around him, should not come into notice, and he sat in the local legislature for Portage la Prairie from 1883 to 1892. He was attorney general in the Manitoba government from 1888 to 1891. A portrait picture of the Greenway Cabinet ,which hangs up in the Legislative buildings in Winnipeg, shows him as an attractive looking young man of 36, and displays that alertness of look which has always been one of the features of his personality. But continuousness in, political affiliations has never been a prominent characteristic in Mr. Martin's service of his country in legislative assemblies. He has remained a Liberal, but he has had a liking for displaying his Liberalism in different places. He is like one of those dramatic entrepreneurs, who having got hold of a good "show" in London or New York, feels that it will be a good stroke of business to take it through the provinces. Consequently Mr. Martin, having entertained his Manitoba audience, and incidentally done a good deal towards the triumphat return of Sir Wilfred Laurier's forces to Ottawa it 1896, came next before the political footlights in Britisn Columbia, where in 1897 he opened a law office. Successful and eminent as a lawyer, Mr. Martin had already been employed to argue the Manitoba Schools case before the Privy Counsel in London, years before. And tbe fasination of London had got hold of him. Brief experiences and defeats in connection with the B.C. Legis- 1 a t i o n having passed, he moved to London and entered the British parliament as member for East St. Pancras in 1910. Since then as is well known he has oscillated between England and Vancouver and has been well- pleased with both. For if there is anything that the Hon. Joseph Martin likes, it is variety. Except for his innate love of it, he might have written his name higher on the scroll of political fame, Notice of Cancellation of Reserve. NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the reserve covering certain lands in Lillooet District for the depasturage of stock, by reason of a notice published in the British Columbia Gazette on the 7th day of August, 1884, is cancelled.

The total amount of gold savecf in the mill is reported, as $32,500. The Golden Dream Mining Company has been prospecting the gravel deposits on the South d^Fork of Bridge river below the dam, and sluicing the material taken from the pit in wl?ich bed rock was struck at 21 feet. G. P. Dam, the manager, installed an Empire drill early in the season, but owing to the boulders it was not a success. Later these operations - were abandoned, and two 'scrapers, worked by water- power from an overshot wheel, were substituted and worked satisfactorily. About one third of the gravel taken from the pit yielded between 35"^nd 40 cents to the cubic square yard, saved in the sluice-boxes. The usual assessment work was done on these mineral claims in the camp that are not yet Crown granted of which there are not many, &s most of the claims were staked in 1897, 1898, and 189&, and the owners acquired Crown grants some years ago. The opening of the Pacific Great Eastern Railway has proved a great advantage to the camps in the Lillooet Mining Division, as previous to that event the district was so remote from rail transportation that the excessive freight rates retarded progress. Molybdenite Ore.— During 1916 a shipment of molybdenite ore was made from mineral claims on Texas ck. a tributary of the Fraser river that empties into it on the west side about 12 miles Sth. from Lillooet station, on the P.G.E. Railway. The shipment contained nine tons" of , molybdenite which carried 16 per cent molybdenite. The operators of this property are greatly handicaped because of remoteness from transportation and rough trails from the claims to the LiP looet wagon road. ) Talc—Two cars of talc were shipped during 1916 from near the shore of Anderson lake, near the mouth of McGillivray creek.
