It being the intention of this delegation to take tlie various questions up with the proper authorities there before the estimates are made [upfor the .orthcoming session The communication was dealt I with in a full meeting of the executive. The first resolution read requested the government to approach an already established steamship company with a ve.v to having such company inaugurate a fait passenger and freight ervici betwe.n Prints Ripert ami the Orient; and that such steamship company be granted a mail contract and attractive docking facilities in Prince Rupert; also that the gov- portant of all, a railway branch line is requested into the Ground Hog coal fields from a point on the G. T. P. It was around this question that'a long discussion ensued in the executive meeting. Outside this one point there was not one thing in the whole of the Rupert board of trade communication that affected the Stewart in the least, and every angle of the situation was fully gone into. Finally it was decided to endorse the Rupert resolution provisionally. The provision being well set out in the following letter of reply that was sent by the secretary; the resolutions and questions referred to therein were the outcome of the meeting. A number of other matters were also included in the Rupert resolutions, but are too numerous and not of sufficient interest to publish. Stewart, B.C., Jan. 25, 1922. C. V.

This trail, as suggested, would run north from a suitable point on or near Meziadin lake, up Hanna creek, crossing the outlet to Bowser lake, continue up the valley of the north fork or Bell Irving river, crossing that stream at the forks, it would swing east a distance of about 10 miles, and join the Yukon Telegraph trail at a point approximately 110 miles south of Telegraph creek, or an estimated total distance from Stewart of 200 miles. This is allowing a margin of 10 miles; but in order tc be on the safe side allow another 20, and call the total distance 220 miles, in all a margin over the real estimate, 30 miles. All that would be necessary is the brushing out and repairing of the Telegraph trail and the old trail from here to the Bowser lake outlet and the construction of the link up the Bell Irving river, a distance of about 40 miles; all of which would be easy of construction. The most difficult country already having been traversed between Meziadin and Bowser lakes, and also the Bear river glacier, which is only for a short distance. Such a route affords good feed for pack horses in the summer, and could be used to advantage in the winter with dog teams; and will facilitate the development of the vast mineral wtallh known to exist in the Bowser and Brightwell lake sections; also the Unuk and the Iskut river districts. In addition giving access to the agricultural lands of the Naas and affording a good winter outlet for Telegraph creek. Mowhere in British Columbia can so much natural wealth be opened up for exploration and development as by the construction of this 40-mile link up the Bell Irving river and the putting into repair of existing trails. [Note���Next week the branch south to Alice Arm will be dealt with.���Editor. ] W&$&, ���S5 u.mir-niiTrriTiuTi-in** rr THE communication received recently by the Stewart Citizens' Association from the Prince Rupert Board of Trade was very interesting and covered a large number of questions, none of which affected Stewart in the slightest, except that item which asked for the endorsation of Rupert's request for the construction of a branch line from the G. T. P. into the Ground Hog coal fields and for their development. This came not at all as a surprise, for we can not blame our Rupert friends for being on the job for their own town; but it was rather like asking a man to burn down his own house, in order to enable the other fellow to have a better view from his own front verandah. The stand taken by the executive of the Stewart Citizens' Association, supporting development of the coal fields, but that the matter of the route to be followed by a railway from there be left to impartial engineers, and if a railway is constructed that it follow the most feasible and economical route is the only fair and logical reply. If it is easier and more economical to ship coal from the Ground Hog out by way of the G. T. P. to Rupert, instead of via a railway to Stewart, then it is in the public interest that such should be done; but if, and we believe that such will prove to be the case, it is found more economical to ship the coal out via Stewart, then there is no justification for the Rupert demand. British Columbia is today pauperized by railways built to satisfy voters, and in I T|,e Halifax reporter assigned to investigate a view of this experience we feel certain j haunted house has no doubt had previous ��xp��-ri-| that Mr. Stork will not lend his support toience waiting for the "ghost to walk." any railway project that disregards the essential principals of business in favor of the club of the voter.

Will stand the acid test. Assay 16 ounces to the pound. Nuf Ced With ore running to $13 a ton in gold, and enough tonhage in sight to yield profits to the amount of $231,200, is a conclusion reached by Professor De Lury after a lengthy examination of the Bingo gold mine at Herb lake, northern Manitoba. He finds that the possibilities of this province are excellent, and he thinks the chances are bright for developing a body that will j give up gold to the value of $8,- 000,000. This figuring is on one claim of the group of three, and deals with the depth and length of the vein of 1000 feet. The mining costs are heavy, and may reach $30 a ton, but even at this the profit is $100 a ton. He recommends further development in the way of sinking to the 300- foot level and drifting 1000 feet, at a cost of $50,000. Should this be done and the ore body stand up as expected it will, then more capital will be required for At a meeting of the Anderson Lake Mining company, Lillooet, held recently, the directors decided to commence working operations immediately at their mine, in which all operations were suspended at the outbreak of the war. A stamp milling plant has been installed and a crew of men put to work preparing the plant for renewed activity. Hyder Transfer Co. H. L. REID and LOUIS LEGG, Props.
