No Advertising Aecepted for Firit Page NEW ALASKA THE fact that the New Alaska property will be worked, is most welcome news to the entire district, both to Canadians and Americans, for though this property is on the Alaskan side of the boundary, it is in the district, and what helps one part, is bound to help the whole. Few properties in the district are so advantageously situated as the New Alaska, being right on established lines of communication, and at a iow elevation. While we have not been on the ground, we understand from those who have been, not being financially interested, viewed it from a disinterested point of view, that it is a property with great possibilities. Patrick Daly, and also the owners, are to be congratulated upon having secured a good live crowd, in Vancouver and Seattle, to go ahead and put up the money for the necessary development. At last a step has been taken that will have a beneficial effect upon the entire district, for the Daly Mines Co., Limited, have apparently a good chance of making a mine out of the New Alaska. For if this property proves to be half the mine that it promises, other local capital will be encouraged to enter the field, thus doing away with the necessity of going east for every dollar, as has to a large extent been the case heretofore. last two years will not be especially remembered against him now that he is no longer of this world. Rather will it be permissible to say of him that his inclinations during the early days of the war were less towards the Teutonic combination than is popularly assumed. He was an amiable prince and until he succeeded to authority his major ambition was that in which the fate and welfare of his domestic circle were largely concerned. But as a king in a changed world and himself a fragment of a shattered dynasty he was more ruled than ruler. Without advisors and lacking personal fortune it was small wonder that he became the tool of political manipulation and the machinations of the last remnants of an effete monarchical system; and on this day human nature will absolve him from much of the responsibility for his more recent indiscretions. SIR JOHN EATON IN the passing of the presiding officer of the gigantic Eaton firm Canada has lost a great philanthropist and one of her leading merchant princes. Before the war and all through the weary days of its progress the late Sir John Eaton gave of the fruits of his labors in manner that is better known to those who have hio XV, UIIIU.W r- r*s\\ A II i*~.k.* .in r **%J know anything of the tremendous enterprises to which he devoted an active attention until his recent illness will appreciate something of the part which the Eaton family has played in the evolutionary processes through which Canadian merchandising has passed. But it will be the vivid memory which humanity will cherish for the good works of the late Sir John Eaton that will more especially adorn his epitaph. NOTE AND COMMENT The local shortage of green onions will not effect the price of strawberries. SPRING Many anglers confine their garden activities to keeping fishworms fat in old tin cans. A Rupert father is popular with thc- family this week. He said it with Easter bonnets. Thieves stole a cask of embalming fluid from an Ontario undertaker. Bootleggers are suspected. After the income tax is paid there is a marked resemblance between a bank book and a blank book. THE snow is going fast. Spring at last is with us. But this alone is not responsible for the optimism that is ex-1 adjourns. pressed so freely on every hand. Yes; spring of the calendar year is here, but so also is the spring of an era of progress, development and prosperity, such as has never before been witnessed in Northern British Columbia. Watch it, the season of 1922, and in 1932 you will lookback and say that it was in that year that the warm sun of capital, for the development of our unlimited natural resources, shone out bright, and produced a garden of peace It is expected that the weather will warm up when the ice dealers' convention in San Francisco With wonderful self-control, Mayor Hylan of New York refrained from vetoing the law increasing his salary by $10,000.

MINING OPERATIONS IN YUKON Interests in New York who have under lease extensive placer mining properties covering many miles in the old Fcrty-Mile dis-i trict, Y. T., have instructed W. J. Rendell, a Dawson engineer, to make immediate examination of these properties to decide whether they would be suitable for large operations and decide what equipment would be necessary. A big crew will be placed on the survey work immediately. The old Anderson concession on Huneker creek, one of the best known big mining properties in the Yukon, has been released by the federal government to the Klondike Government Concession Co., Limited, the owners. The concession has been held up since 1916 because of the failure of the lessees to pay the wages of the men who were hired to do assessment work on the tract in that year. The concession company has now paid the $7000 required to liquidate this liability. In addition, it is stated that all creditors will be paid in full. The concession was originally controlled by Tredgold interests. CAROLAN'S MEAT MARKET FRESH ... UCATC* AND CURED IYIlAIO SHAMROCK BRAND Full Line of Groceries and Vegetables.

PRODUCTION DURING LAST TEN YEARS, $331,995,328 Lode mining has only been in progress for about 33 years, and not 20 per cent, of the Province has been even prospected; 300,000 square miles of unexplored mineral-bearing land are open for prospecting. The mining laws of this Province are more liberal and the fees lower than those of any other Province in the Dominion, or any Colony in the British Empire. Mineral locations are granted to discoverers for nominal fees. Absolute Titles are obtained by developing such properties, security of which is guaranteed by Crown Grants.
