Returning to this camp\nhe interested Wm. Bunting in\nhis find and the latter has spent\nthe past two months there, lending his 30 years of experience\nand practical hard-rock knowledge to the task of tracing out\nand thoroughly sampling the\nvein. This was a comparatively\neasy matter, as the property lies\nabove timber line, at an elevation of 4500 feet, and carries no\noverburden; in fact the outcrop-\npings of the vein may be seen\nfor a distance of 6000 feet, striking east and west and lying on a\ngranite and lime contact.\nSeventy-five open cuts have\nbeen made across the vein, and\none shaft sunk to a depth of 53\nfeet. The ore throught is an\niron-stained, more er less decomposed quartz, carrying no other\nmetal than gold, except for some\nblack iron sulphides and occasionally a trace of copper.

Barrett and associates, financial men and promoters of Vancouver, discussed with the people of Stewart and\nHyder the idea of putting new life into\nthe Portland Canal Short Line Railway.\nFourteen miles of this was built up the\nBear river valley from tidewater in 1911\nby Sir Donald Mann, it being his intention\nat that time to continue the road through\nto the Peace River country, making Stewart a transcontinental terminal. This project, which bristles even yet with great\npossibilities, unfortunately died a more or\nless natural death, with the financial slump\nthat hit the country in the fall of 1912,\npreceeding the World War by nearly two\nyears, both of which combined to make development work of this kind impossible,\nand which also assisted in virtually ending\nthe brilliant career of Sir Donald Mann\nand Sir William MacKenzie as railway\nbuilders.\nNow, however, that the country is\nrapidly returning to normal, resulting in\nincreased development ln this north country, it is only to be expected that there are\nmany people who can realize the great\npossibilities of this project and that one\nof these, as appears to be the ease with\nMr. Barrett, will have the pluck and the\ncourage to try and put the idea into effect.\nThe preliminary to this, of course, is the\nacquisition of the present rusting road,\nand its charter, with all its original rights.'\nNaturally, these people will not be\nable to build the road themselves, from\nhere to Peace River, but what they maybe\nable to do is to secure the present road and\ncharter, recondition, and operate a gas\nengine train over it from the beach to\nBitter ereek at least once a week, until\nsuch time as the business warrants an improved service. Such a railway would\nwithout doubt secure considerable business at the outset from the deyelopment\nof mining properties up the valley, and in\naddition from hauling freight and concentrates for the Dunwell mine, thus enabling\nthe operation of a better service than once\na week to as far at least as Glacier creek.\nSuch a move would quicken the development of the whole Bear river section, constituting a great encouragement to the\ndevelopment and operation of a number of\nimportant properties along the full extent\nof the Bear river, thus in a short time carrying the road to its summit, and shortly\nafterwards over it. Thus would be opened the whole of the upper Naas, From\nthis point it would only be, from a railway\nstandpoint, an easy matter to extend the\nline 60 miles or less to the great Groundhog anthracite coalfields. This would then\nhave carried the road 90 of the 250 milea\nfrom tidewater to the western edge of the\nPeace River wheat belt, thereby leaving a\nlink to be connected of only 160 miles to\nbe built, to tap those great wheat areas,\nopening to development, tributary and along its\nroute, a country fabulously rich in minerals, coal,\ntimber and land\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDwilnout doubt the richest continuous section in this rich province.\nThese are the possibilities which Mr Barrett\nand his people evidently plainly see, and seeing*\nthem know full well that if they can secure the\nroad and its charter, and get the project started,\nit would be only a short time until they would be\nable to make some successful deal for the financing ef it to completion by possibly selling it te one\nor another of the big companies, or by some other\nmethod. However, so far as the people of Stewart are concerned, it matters not how the railway\nis secured and operated, so long as action is obtained.\nDALBY a MORKHiL\nWNHfO SUBVEYOB\nB. C.

Mr Haggen made a trip to Europe last\nspring and is supposed to have\nobtained some inside information.\nA company financed by British\nand Swedish capital has developed, through one ef the best European metallurgists, a process\nfor treatment of complex ores at\nlow cost. For instance, it is\nclaimed that in the case of zinc\nores or concentrates tarrying\nhigh values in silver, as perfect\nan extraction of the silver can\nbe obtained as in the case of\nclean lead ores. By present processes the loss of silver in zine\nores is high, and heavy deductions have to be made by present\nmetallurgical plants accordingly.\nUnder the process referred to it\nis claimed that all silver values\nup to 5 per cent can be paid for\nand that zinc deductions are reduced to 10 per cent. At present\neven the Belgian metallurgical\nplants Cannot handle zinc ores\nhigh in silver and refuse to accept them as they cannot recover\na sufficiently large percentage of\nthe silver.\nThe company is building a\nplant in Scotland at a cost of $1-\n500,000, and is arranging for\nshipments of siiver-zinc and other\ncomplex ores and concentrates\nfrom all parts ofthe world, lhe\nmanager intends visiting British\nColumbia at an early date to ascertain the precise conditions\nhere, and if he can see a sufficient quantity of such ores avail\nable the company will establish\non the coast a plant to treat them\n\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDprobably at the town of Stewart on Portland Canal.\nONE MORE MINE\nFOR OLD B.

The mine is owned by A.E.\nWright, land surveyor of Prince\nRupert, and Mr Patterson who\nhas lived for the past eight years\nat Surf Point. The ore carries\nvalues of free milling gold and\ncopper and a small trial shipment\nwas made last year. This week\na shipment of 80 tons of high\ngrade ore was made to the Granby smelter, the first shipment of\nthe season. The ore was got out\nby hand, but it is understood the\nowners contemplate putting in\nmachinery, to enable bigger development work to be carried out\nthis fall.\nThe Belmont-Surf Inlet Gold\nMining Co. spent some $40,000\na few years ago on this property\nand then abandoned it.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDPrince\nRupert News.\nFor a real facial and shampoo\ntry the Rex.\nDr. H.

The ore bodies exposed higher up the hill\nhave been uncovered at a lower\nlevel and are now being worked\non only some 400 feet up from\nlevel ground. The deal whereby\nDetroit capital is to become interested in the Independence is\nstill in progress, and a favorable\nreport is expected from Sam\nFitzgerald at any time. With\nthe well known ore bodies on\nthis property being exploited a\nmuch higher level in the price of\nthe stock is looked for.\nMarmot Metals is in steady demand. The tunneling on this\nproperty is expected to prove the\nore deposits materially. The\nstock is looked upon to react to\nhigher levels in the near future.\nThe Marmot Metals workings\nwere recently sampled with very\ngratifying returns. *\nWork at the Dunwell is progressing rapidly on the mill,\ntram and power plant, and the\nmanagement report that the ore\nbody in No. 4 is proving one of\nthe best in the mine.
