Details of the years's operations\nshows marked activity in all parts of the\nProvince, with much preliminary work\ndone in preparation of further develop*\nment this year, and there is every indication that another record will be made in\n1926.\nPrincipal of all operations are those\nof the -Consolidated Mining & Smelting\nCompany at Trail, with its world-beating\nmine, the Sullivan, at Kimberley, as well\nas other big properties, and its big smelter at Trail. Ten per cent of the world's\nlead and seven per cent of the zinc, is produced at Trail, where extensive extensions\nhave been made during the past year with\nmore in prospect.* What is being done at\nTrail is shown by the figures of production. In 1919 the value was $7,326,925,\nand it was thought the 1924 amount of\n$20,854,000 was a big jump over 1923,\nwhen the figure was $11,402,000, but last\nyear it climbed to almost $30,000,000.\nApart from the big features of its work, a\nhelpful \/actor is the custom concentrating\nmill for small operators.\nNaturally, with a record production,\nthere has been increase in the amount of\nore mined and the metals produced. The\nlargest increase was that of lead, from\n170,000,000 pounds to 236,000,000 pounds,\nwhile zinc increased from 79,000,000 to\n100,000,000 pounds, and copper from 64,-\n000,000 to 72,000,000 pounds. Copper\nproduction will be still further increased\nthis year, since the big plant of the Granby at Allenby will get well into its stride,\nits capacity being 20,000,000 pounds of\ncopper per year. It has been working\nonly about half capacity since resuming\noperation early last fall.\nThe department of mines at Victoria\nreports a slight falling off in the production of lode and placer gold, but operation along both these lines is increasing.\nThe dredge of the Kafue Copper & Development Company on Antler Creek, Cariboo, demonstrated that it could make good\nmoney, and with initial difficulties overcome it should do well this year. Increased gold operations will also be conducted\nin the Cassiar district, while Atlin's output will also be greater.\nThere is nothing but progress in every\ndistrict to report. In Portland Canal the\nPremier is doubling its capacity, and with\na successful season's work in that district,\nother properties there will soon be shipping. J. F. Duthie has demonstrated that\nmining in the Omineca-Skeena district\npays. In the Bridge river district, profitable operation of the Pioneer gold mine is\nencouraging development of other properties. Around Kamloops and in the Nicola\nold mines have been reopened. Much interest has been taken in the Lardeau, and\ndeals may shortly be announced. The Slocan has been revivified and Wallace mountain is aboom. All through the Kootenay\nmining is active.\nThe actual figures of production for\nthe year have been large, but a very gratifying feature is the number of large companies which have been securing properties. Their operations for the year do not\nshow up in a material way as yet, but in a\nyear or two they will mean a great deal.\nThe Porcupine Goldfields & Development\nCompany, which took over the North Star\ngroup near Kimberley, has been securing!\nother properties not only in the Kootenay)\nbut in the Omineca, which presage large operations. The Federal Mining Company, a subsidiary of the American Smelting & Refining Company, bought the Sally and other properties on\nWallace mountain. It already has mineral properties in other parts of the prevince. The Victoria Syndicate, a strong British company represented\nin Vancouver by R.H.Stewart. M. E., in addition\nto buying is testing out some large propositions,\nand next summer should bring some important\nannouncements.\nProspects of a steel industry in the Kootenay\nare good, British capitalhaving been interested by\nW.R.Wilson, general manager of the Crow's Nest\nPass Coal Company. A big coast steel industry is\n^lso in prospect, and the establishment of the latter would mean a big payroll almost immediate!}-.\nThis article is merely a sketch of principal\nfeatures of the year's mining operations. Details\nof activity throughout the province will be contained in the annual report of the minister of\nmines, and this will be a valuable volume to all interested in British Columbia mining.\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdWestern\nCanada Mining News.\nDc.

Mr Mclver, who has\nbeen in charge of the \"work carried on during the past few\nmonths, states that he encountered the lead on the footwall of\na big dyke and has opened up a\nshowing often inches cf grey\ncopper ore on the hanging wall\nand four inches on the foot wall.\nSamples of this ore taken from\nan outcropping on the surface\n125 feet above showed values of\nover $200 per ton. The ore at\naepth, he considers, is much\nricher than the surface showing,\nand he has hurried back to the\nproperty to carry on thi work\nand pick up the ore beyond a\nstrong oxidization caused by a\nfracture in the formation at the\npoint of picking up the ore.\nIn addition to the Hunter, Little Joe and View properties on\nwhich they have taken a bond\nfrom O.A.Riegle of Telkwa, the\nCarr brothers own three claims\nin the Hunter basin known as\nthe Chester. Lorraine and Helen.\n,There is a very strong showing\n; of ore on the surface of the Ches-\nI ter claim and a few years ago a\ntunnel was started to tap this ore\nat a depth estimated at 135 feet.\nAfter driving 115 feet work was\nclosed down, and it was not until\n1 three months ago that a decision\n; was reached to continue the tun-\ni nel.\nThe ore on the Chester is now\nproved to a depth of 500 feet,\n\\ and with ore proved to 350 feet\non the Hunter claim the boys are\n.naturally highly elated and plan\ncontinuing work with the greatest possible speed, and there is\n1 every indication of the property\n! being a big producer.\nPALLADIUM ORE\nIN SALTCHUCK\nThe Saltchuck mine near Ketchikan is now working steadily\nand producing about 350 tons of\nore per day, said A. L. Howard,\nmining engineer, who is connected with the property and\ncame aouth recently on a short\nrecreation trip.\nThe mine has been in regular\nproduction since the fall of 1923,\nor since the concentrating plant\nwas placed in operation, lt was\nmined on a limited and intermit-'\ntent scale before that time, but!\nnow it has joined the regular and\ndependable producers of the\nNorthland. The Saltchuck mine\nis the only one of its kind in Al-\naska, in that its chief metal content, or rather the most valuable\npart of the metal content, is a\npalladium ore which belongs to\nthe platinum group. Saltchuck j\nnow produces between 4000 and\n4500 ounces of palladiumja year, j\nand is a very important part of\nthe mine product, as palladium\nis worth about $80 per ounce. I\nThe ore is concentrated at the\nmine and the concentrates are|\nshipped to Irvington, New Jer-j\nsey, for final treatment. Besides'\npalladium, the ore carries some I\ncopper, gold and silver. j\nThe Saltchuck mine is the big- '\ngest producer of palladium ore!\non the American continent. Iti\nis the belief of mineralogists who j\nhave visited and inspected South-'\neastern Alaska that it is a coun- j\ntry likely to contain manydepos-j\nits of palladium ore. The Alas-J\nka Weekly is informed that twoj\nmore palladium properties will be\nopened next season.\nThe Saltchuck mine is owned\nby J. E.Chilberg, the former well\nknown Seattle business man who\nnow stays on the property and\nmanages it, and a group of other\nSeattle business men.\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdAlaska\nWeekly.\nWe Stock\nGoodrich Hi-Press Rubber Packs\nWEAR LIKE IRON\nAsk for N-W 337 CLEATED SOLES\nBEAMAN\nBLOCK\nH.ZEFFERTT\nSTEWART,\nB.
