Last year the prize was a gold medal, whieh is now on view in the glass case in the front office of the Portland Canal News, in which are kept the rarest and most spectacular specimens. Beside the medal stands the silver cup presented by the Prince Rupert Kxhbition as first prize in the district exhibit competition. The box sent to Vancouver -Monday night contains samples from 24 properties that were not represented last year, and every specimen came from a property that gives every indication of developing into a productive mine. Mining in this district has but barely commenced. As proof of this, consider the following 07 properties which are represented in the Portland Canal News exhibit from this district. You will find very few that have not a good chance of becoming producers. Down the Canal Big Mike. Maple Bay, General, B.C.Gold. Georgia River Georgia River Gold Mines.

Miss Davidson, of the Canadian Red Cross, visited Stewart during the stay of the Prince Charles Tuesday morning, for the purpose of arranging for a class in Stewart to take home nursing during the winter. Enthused with the showings being made on the Montreal group, Jas. Douville who, with Frank Riva, owns the eight claims, came to town this week for more supplies and eays it is their intention to continue work until late in the fall. The Montreal is situated 23 miles, from Stewart near the head of Beaver river, about two miles east of the head of Bear river, and adjoining the crown granted Murdoch group, which is owned principally by residents of Vancouver. Two tunnels, one twenty feet long and the other ten, have been driven on the hanging and foot walls of a vein that is 30 feet in width, and between the tunnels the entire width has been "faced up" to a height of about six feet, showing the solid ore all the way across. Specimens brought to town, which are said to represent the average, show galena, chalcopyrite, pyrrhotite iron and zinc in a blueish quartz gangue. A tunnel has been started on a parallel vein 100 feet to the northwest, which has five feet of good ore in the face. There are a number of other showings in the group, including an ore zone that parallels the two veins mentioned, and is 100 feet or more in width. It will take time and money to properly prove up the property, but any one of the veins now prospected would be considered sufficient alone to warrant the assumption that it would develop into a mine. Messrs Douville and Riva rebuilt the government trail past the Bear river glacier in order to take in pack horses, making a permanent job which is in no danger of sliding out, as happened to the old trail. Their camp is only ten minutes' walk from the trail, and their veins can be traced practically to it. Mclntomineys Leaving Mrs Wm. Mclntominey and children intend leaving on the Prince George tomorrow morning for Vancouver, where they expect to remain for a month and then join Mr Mclntominey, who is engaged in mining at Beaverdell. Mrs Mclntominey has been a resident of Stewart for nearly eight years, and will be sadly missed by her many friends here. Their fine home has been purchased by J. V. Clegg.

TORIC MINE TO MAKE BULLION The concentrating mill at the Toric mine at Alice Arm is now about completed and, depending on the delivery of machinery, should be in operation by the end of August, according to A. C. H. Gerhardi, managing director and consulting engineer for the Consolidated Home,-,take Mining & Development Co. The mill will have a daily capacity of 100 tons and, in order to simplify the problem of shipping, it is proposed to smelt the ore into gold and silver bullion on the ground, making bullion shipments monthly direct to the banks. Mr Gerhardi states that half a million tons of ore has already been blocked out in less than 1000 feet of crosscutting in the 'loric mine. On a very conservative basis the ore is valued at $12 per ton, although assays ��ver the area have shown a value of over $22 per ton. R. D. Escombe who was brought from the Old Country especially for the position, is superintendent of the Toric mine and there are 12 men employed at the present time there. In order to take supplies into the mine from the wharf at Alice Arm the Homestake Co. has just placed a 4J-ton gasoline locomotive on the tracks of the Dolly Varden Railway. The railroad is now in good Bhape, Mr Gerhardi stating that cosniderable credit is due the provincial government for the manner in which it has been maintained. The Toric lies just across the Kitsault river from the Dolly Varden mine and is connected with the railway by a high-level bridge. The mine itself is about three-quarters of a mile from the railway grade.���Prince Rupert News.

Limited and the Silver Spring Brewery Limited, who are all members of the Amalgamated Breweries of B. C, for sale at Government Liquor Stores and the Licensed Beer Parlors, have been and will be analyzed from time to time by different expert firms of the continent for the protection of the public. THE substance of these various analyses instigated by order of the Liquor Control Board shows that the Beers are perfect, the taste agreeable and malty. The foam is creamy and stands up well. The alcohol by weight is about 4.25 per cent, and the extract 5.49 per cent, with an original gravity of about 13.20. These analyses indicate further that the Beers are of good quality, wholesome and free from any foreign substance. TO make a flood Beer with such health-giving qualities It requires a skilled brewraaster and an up-to-date hygienic plant, such as maintained by the above mentioned Breweries. These plants are open for inspection and visits of the public ara gladly solicited. Only the best materials obtainable are used in the manufacture of the Beers. TIIE Brewing capacity of the above Breweries, members; of the Amalgamated Breweries of B.
