An overdose is liable to\nkill the patient.\nSubscribe to Yonr Local Paper\nThat a mine is in the making at\nthe Silver Cord is indioated by reports received from authoritive\nsources by the Herald during the\nweek.\nThe new tunnel, which was\ncommenced last fall in order to\ngain dapth on the ore is now in 400\nfeet from the portal, with ore over\nthe whole face. Several large\nspectacular samples brought down\nduring the week, show the ore to\nof unusual high grade for such a\nlarge body. They are composed of\nmassive ore carrying silver, lead,\nzinc and gold values.\nThe quality of the ore is getting\nbetter as depth is obtained, and it\nis estimated that the ore body will\nmeasure 100 feet in width when\ncrosscutting is commenced, as the\nledge shows this width on the surface. Crosscutting will be carried\non when an additional 100 feet has\nbeen driven in the tunnel. The\npresent depth from the surface is\nabout 300 feet. It is therefore\nplain that already a large tonnage\nof ore has been developed and\nshould the width be maintained\nfrom the surface, an additional 100\nof tunnelling will rank the Silver\nCord among the sensational mines\nof the province for amount of ore\ndeveloped at small cost.\nNo ore of such value as is now\nbeing encountered underground\nhas been discovered on the Rttrface\nexcept at one point, and this is at\nan elevation of 3000 feet.\nThe Silver Cord is being developed by the British Colonial Securities Ltd. of Vancouver, with\nA. McGuire in charge of operations. During the winter they have\ndriven 500 feet of tunnel, and it is\ntlieir intention to push development of the property uninterruptedly.\nAs soon as the ground is clear of\n!snow to the mine, making it possible to transport supplies by pack\nhorses, the working staff will be\nconsiderably increased, and a com\npressor plant will probably be\ninstalled to expediate the work.\nIn addition to the Silver Cord\nthe oompany are also developing\nthe Eagle and LeRoy. Work on\nthese properties was closed down\nduring the winter, but as soon as\nhorses can be used the development\nof the Eagle will re-commence.\nNo large amount of work will be\nundertaken on the LeRoy until the\ntrail is put in condition for pack\nhorses, although this property has\nthe earmarks of a mine judging\nfrom the surface showings.\nThe successful development of\nthe Silver Cord will unquestionably\ndraw attention to mining properties in this locality, which inoludes\nthe ore bodies on the west slope of\nMcGrath mountain.\nM W. Jasper and Associates Secured\nControl of LaRose Mine on Thursday\nYesterday afternoon the Herald\nreceived a telegram from Prince\nRupert stating that the LaRose\ndeal had been completed the previous day.\nNegotiations for a control of the\nproperty has been going on for\nsome time, and its completion is a\nsource of great satisfaction to\neveryone.\nM. W. Jasper, mining engineer\nofthe State of Washington; also\nwell known in Atlin and British\nColumbia and who is associated\nwith J. M. Morrison and other original shareholders, has purchased the\nstock of Miles Donald and J. Wells\nof Alice Arm and Dr. W. T. Kergin\nof Prince Rupert, thus securing\ncontrol. The sale was made on a\nspot cash basis for a handsome\nsum, the amount of which has not\nyet been divulged.\nA re-organization of the company\nwill be made on March 27th. when\nthe annual meeting will be held in\nPrince Rupert and a new Board of\nDirectors elected, and plans made\nfor the equipment and development\nof the mine.\nIt is understood that development\nwill be commenced almost immedi\nately. A compressor plant installed\nand it is expected that an aerial\ntramway will be built and later a\nconcentrating mill installed.\nThe LaRose is one of the best\nknown mining properties in the\nAlice Arm district.

MOSS, Editor and Publisher.\nIt is gratifying to note that\nprominent British Columbian capitalists and business men are becoming alive to the great possibilities of the mining industry of the\nprovince. They are realizing that\nmining and the development of\nmining properties to a productive\nstage is as safe an investment as\ncan be found. There are several\nreasons for this, chief of which is\ndue to the high dividends now\nbeing paid by some of the operating companies rn B. C, and also\nOntario men has shown them that\nmining pays big profits to those\nwho are willing to invest their\nmoney in sound projects. Every\nmining industry is profiting by this\nchange of front on the part of\nbig British Columbia investors, and\nfrom authentic reports Alice Arm\nwill also profit this year. Plans\nare being laid for the taking over\nof several well known properties\nand it is possible that this year will\nbe among the best the mining\nindustry has experienced in the\ndistrict.\nReports were circulated during\nthe week that control of a well\nknown mine in the Alice Arm\ndistrict had changed hands. At\nthe time of writing, the deal had\nnot been made, although it is\npossible that it will be done before\nwe put the last pages on the\npress. We had all available information regarding this particular\ndeal in our possession last week,\nbut withheld it until word was\nreceived that everything was satisfactorily settled. A newspaper\ncan not publish reports picked up\non the streets, for it often happens\nthat an apology is forthcoming in\nthe next issue for mis-statement of\nfacts. Often when we have\ninvestigated reports they were\nfound to be plain imagination on\nsomeone's part. Our readers have\nalways been among the first to\nobtain reliable news of any mining\ntransaction, and when we publish\nsuch news it can be taken as\ncorrect.\nThe Canadian Rocky mountains\noonsist geologically of the upturned edges of the strata underlying\nthe great Central Plain of North\nAmerica.\nWhat The League Of\nNations Is Doing For\nHumanity\ni\nWhat has the League of Nations\ndone.?\nNow that the League of Nations\nhas been in organization for almost\nnine years we might well ask, has\nit justified its existence.?
