But\nwith the constrnction of tbe Crow's\nNeat railway things began to take a\nchange. Aa all great things come slowly, ao haa the development of the resources of this district come slowly, but\nvery surely; and now on the eve of the\nopening np of apring South Eaat Kootenay la looking forward to a magnificent\nfuture. Those who are fortunate\nenough to own property In any of the\nmany prosperous and growing towna of\nthe district are to be thoroughly congratulated. Many may bave \"bnngon\"\nto their holdings during depreaalng\ntimes bnt, their faith In the country\nhaving stood firm, they will shortly\nreap tbe reward that is by right coming to them.\nPerhaps no part of the dlatrict Is at\npresent, being taken more lntereat in,\nboth by tha people la the country and\noutside, than the St. Mary'a Valley and\ntne country tributary to It. Thia district Is by no means new to the hardy\nEaat Kootenay prospector for a trail of\nhla pick and ahovel, hla cabin and hla\nclaim atakes can be followed for many\nmllea oa both sides of that beautiful\nmountain torrent. But like pioneer\nprospectors In otber parte of tka province the claim holder on the St.\nMarya haa had to face that bug bear of\nall mining enterprlaea lack of transportation.\nNo matter how rich the showing., no\nmatter how promising the Indications\nmay have been, the very fact of tha St.\nMarys claims being ao far from railway\nand water transportation baa kept them\nin the back ground so far aa the outside\nworld la concerned for capital will not\ncoma In and develop properties\nthat la not adji:ent to trana.\nportatljn facilities. The building of the\nKlmberley branch of the C. P. R. and\nthe building of the branch Into Maryaville were both atepa In the right\ndirection but the continuation of the\nlatter branch up the valley of the St.\nMary* will bring, not one, bnt a dozen\nor mora valuable propertlea within\ntransportation distances and these wit\nbe able to give a good account of themselves wben the time comes.\nTbe erection of the smelter, refinery\nand white lead works at Marysville\nwill give an additional Impetus to mining activity In the whole district especially in the St. Marya country. The\nbuilding np of many prosperous towns\nand mining cam pi will extend the already good market which the ranchere\nand farmera of tbe dlatrict have. The\ngeneral activity will undoubtedly attract capital from tbe monled centera\nof the eaat and from Europe and a very\nshort tlma from now South Eaat Kootenay will be the mecca of the capitalist\nseeking good and safe Investment for\nhis money.\ng FAOE TO FACE TALKS\nBf THE IH'SIXew- MAKAUIR\nMotto lor ths axa-Pf *p\u00C2\u00ABity f\u00E2\u0080\u009E|.\nIowa In the \u00C2\u00ABukool good advert is\nlog.\nThere la no prosperity possible with,\nout Intelligent edvertltli.g.
