WIRE SERVICE FOR STEWART Build Road Through Solid Rock. A beautiful sample of ore from the ���^rnler group, containing wire silver ii .1 well covered with the white metal. ��� is brought to for the Portland Canal Prospectors' Association exhibit on Thursday, This ore was struck during trie week, and it is reported here that Pat Daly, who is in charge of the Spider group, estimates that $10,000 worth nf ore was blown down in three shot*. I he deal on the Spider group was made this spring by R. W. Martin of the Mineral Hill, who took tlie Spider under 0 tion for $30,000 and then turned it over to R. W. Wood, president of the* Premier Mining Co., that owns the famous Premier mine. Mr. Martin returns an interest in the ground. It sums a coincidence that Pat Daly, the man who brought R. K. Neiil, of the Premier, into the country, should be the man to strike another rich one, and, slso, that Mr. Wood, who is such a urge holder in the Premier, should ilia\\e more wealth figuratively* thrust upon him. I'at Daly was down from the Spider s'roup during the week and reported that some splendid ore has been ex- poaad. He has a force of seven men at I work. Three veins have been found. Two "f them are small, one being two and a half feet of high grade ore. another showing 18 inches of high grade and another big vein measuring 24 leet utoss. These showings are being ex- | osed by surface cutting. Hankers Take Notice. H. ! agent I I Prince in ��� | '.i*n���f Hrili.' .

Captain Nicholsen gives a very comprehensive description of the .Premier mine workings. He says in j liart: "At Prince Rupert we were joined bj Mr. R.

P., last week is appreciated generally by the citizens of Stewart, among whom he is well known and who feel assured that he* acquired while here a better knowledge of conditions and our needs. Col. Peck, among other of his experiences, had the pleasure of dodging the holes in the long approach to the wharf. Were it not for the fact that there seems to be a difference of opinion among our two governments as to which shall adopt this approach for the future, Col. Peck, no doubt, would have seen to it before this that a measure of repair at least were put in. However, when there is no certainty as to who owns a thing, it is rather difficult to get action. Probably were somebody to sort of pre-empt the approach, and start in using parts of it, for firewood, both governments would immediately evince a proprietary interest. It is a serious subject with the people of Stewart and the Portland Canal district. A heavy tonnage of supplies passes over this wharf every time a boat comes in and that is from two to three times a week, for, in addition to the large steamers which come once a week, there are launches which bring freight. It has been pointed out before that not' only is the approach not safe to horses, on account of the roiten planking, but it is dangerous as well for pedestrians, who have to keep their weather eye open or go through and suffer, if not a broken leg at least a badly barked shin, which is about as bad. It seems a pity that this much needed repair should not be under way i ow, for the Dominion government by next mont i no doubt will be building a n��w wharf, and in the course of th_> next few weeks, it is hoped, the Stewart-Salmon River ore highway will be well on toward completion if not entirely I'm shed.
