The Bear river, American creek and Marmot river bridges were washed out on Saturday last by the sudden flooding of every river and creek in the district. In addition to this considerable other damage was done to roads and trails, some of these being entirely washed out in places. The Salmon river road suffering the more severely, 200 yards of it being completely washed out at the Seven-mile bar; below this point about a mile the river ran down the road, tearing up the corduroy for half a mile and depositing it hither and thither *i through the woods. At One��mile bar, just above Hyder, the Salmon river overflowed its banks and swept down through the north end of the ' town, doing extensive damage to the road and private property; but fortunately no serious damage was done except where the river cut away considerable property behind the O'Conner build- _. i ���" cember 23.

The county- being strong liberal, the candidate inquired of a farmer if there were many Conservatives around.

No Advertising Aecepted for First Page DO IT NOW THE bridge over the Bear river went out during the high water on Sunday last, and by so doing, cut off all transportation between the town and the Bear river valley. The same thing happened last year, only then it was earlier in the season, and at a time when development work on properties up the Bear was in full swing, retarding such development to an almost unreasonable degree. At that time the washed out section of the bridge was replaced; also the pile pier in the middle of the river. This work has now all gone out, and the money spent thereon, thereby wasted. There is every reason to believe that there will be considerable development work done on several properties up the Bear next year, and some of this work will possibly be done on an extensive scale; therefore this bridge is absolutely essential, and the replacement of it, or the construction of a new one, should be commenced at once, and net left until next spring when the water in the river will be high, and therefore the work difficult. Another reason why this work should be undertaken now is because if left until next year, it will not be ready in time to be of the use it should to operators of properties up the river. The sermons in this country are short enough as i. is, without the placing of the additional handicap on the operators of having to wait even a few weeks for a bridge. Every possible facility should be afforded them of getting on to their jr> perties at as early a date as possible. Therefore, as regards the replacement of the Bear river bridge, THE TIME TO DO IT, IS NOW. DALBY B. MORKILL MINING SURVEYOR B. C. Land Surveyor STEWAKT, B. C. DR. ALFRED H. BAYNE Dental Surgeon, PRINCE RUPERT. HELGERSON BLOCK ASSAYERS on Fish Creek. In addition to these, development work will be carried on on two other properties all winter, and it is quite possible that this number will be increased to four or five, bringing the total of properties operating in the district this winter up to six or seven; and if plans now under consideration materialize another property will be added to the shipping lists, bringing this total up to three. These properties;^LOTHIER & BAKER are all exclusive of the Premier, and while operating only in a small way this vear���still they are operating���and by their so doing the district will be stepping forward in the mining world. These are very satisfactory results, indeed, in view of such general depression as the mining industry of this continent is at present experiencing. Yet running hand in hand with these facts is to be found still more satisfaction in the operations of the individual prospectors and property owners. A great deal of work has been done this year by j these people on their various holdings, and every [ gT. case the work done has proved the properties more promising than ever. There has not been one case this year, anywhere in the district, where the work done proved the property a disappointment. Stewart. R. B. C. E.

BORROWING IN CANADA IT is very satisfactory to note that the recent $2,000,000 loan of the British Columbia government was made entirely in Canada, instead of as heretofore a great portion being placed abroad. This is a sane and business like move on the part of the government, for no country can have real prosperity that has always to go abroad to borrow money, for such money- means interest, and interest has to be paid. If this money can be kept within the confines of the nation it will soon reflect itself in the financial stability of the country. One of the great drawbacks that the governments of Canada have had to face in the past, is this necessity of going abroad for money, and this has meant enormous sums going out of the country each year to pay interest. Apparently Canada is now reaching a stage, when this is no longer entirely necessary, a condition ihat augurs well for the future. BRITISH COLUMBIA H. B.

THE mining industry of the Portland Can il has suffered during the year like all other mining districts, from the financial depression and low metal prices. In spite of these adverse conditions a glance back over the progress made during the season now drawing to a close, by the local mining industry, will show that astounding progress has been made; progress to a degree jI)elta 0il that has hardly been equalled by any other mining district upon the continent. Deals on three properties were put through, and extensive development programs are being put into effect. Two properties have been developed to the point where they will this winter enter the lists aa shippers.

But the same trade conditions exist there as on this side of the line and awakening of manufacturers to the true condition may be expected to dissipate the surplus quickly. Further, it is a well known fact that the normal surplus at Trail smelter, even in times of activity, is between 3000 and 4000 tons, and it is doubtful if its business can be properly conducted upon a lesser margin. Altogether, the fundamentals of the lead market are sound and there is ample justification for the hope that present advances are the thin edge of the wedge of returning prosperity in the mining industry. We of the northwest are more directly interested in lead than in other metal except possibly silver and that, thanks to the Piltman Act, occupies a safe position for several years. Clear sky appears to windward at last. Many Oil Stakings Current gossip around Terrace is chiefly oil and oil leases. It is understood that a strip of country twenty miles long and eight miles wide has been staked for coal and petroleum or petroleum and gas. The town is lively with oil talk. A Vancouver syndicate is bringing in a drill and hope to get the first test hole started this fall. The hole is to be started between the railway tracks and the river. A gusher there would be sensational to say the least. It is also reported that the Imperial Oil company had a representative on the land and that a number of leases were staked for that company.
