C, FRIDAY, MARCH '-ttf 1913 $2 PER YEAR THE PIONEER STRIKES LEAD Mr. Wm. Leech arrived from Cadwallader Creek the first of the week and reports all well in the mining camps. He says: "Have opened the lead on the Pioneer and find it away ahead of expectations. On the 1st of January I struck the lead and after following it for a distance of 75 feet of two- foot ore it has opened up to twelve feet. The ore as you will see by these assays, runs from $10 to $600 per ton. Have worked in this camp for the past seven years and can say that this is one of the best showings so far in this camp. "Have mined in Nevada, Utah, California and Old Mexico, and can truthfully say that Bridge River in the course of the next year will be one of the richest camps I ever struck. "Was in the NO. 4 tunnel at the Coronation last Friday and found an excellent showing- They are now working an a two-foot lead of rich ore and there is plenty more in sight. Mr. Copp has proved beyend all doubt that the Coronation is a winner and the old idea that there wereno values in depth has been utterly disaproved. The assays I have here are no richer than that of the Coronation—and it is a positive fact that bullion will be shipped over the new wagon road from Cadwallader Creek by July the first. "Bridge River has come into its own and is no longer an unctrtain prospecJ, but WILL BUILD NEW RESIDENCE Mr. Arthur Noel has recently purchased lots 18 and 10 in block 2; lots 1,2, 3, and 4 in block 14; lots 7, 8 and 9, block 12. Mr. Noel says that it is his intention to commence the erection of a new home as soon as he returns from the coast, where he has spent the past two months. The activity in real estate in the past week show that their confidence in the town of Lillooet has not been shaken by the contradictory reports published outside. Mr. Noel has been a resident of this district for the past twenty years and was always firm in hisbelief that this place would become a hustling city. Events today are proving that the prophesies of those who stayed with Lillooet during the dull times are about to reap their reward. is bound to be one of the biggest mining camps in British Columbia. There is enough ore blocked out right now to make the future of this district a success. Mr. Leach was compelled to come to Lillooet to have a sliver of steel extracted from his eye and returned to the mine this morning. He says the road to the South Fork is in fine condition and an automobile will be put on between the Mission and Cadwallader Creek as soon as the bridge over the South Fork is completed this spring.

McKinnon passed through Lillooet last week enroute to Vancouver after short stay at the Fountain ranch. In an interview Mr. McKinnon said: ' 'Am sorry that my visit to Lillooet will be of such short duration, but I expect to return shortly. Pressing business compels me to return to Vancouver. Am greatly pleased with the work done on the ranch the past season and find that the returns on my investments here ha\\e been very gratifying. Mr. McDonald is preparing to plant quite a number of fruit trees this spring. The ranch has been greatly improved the past season and will make one of the finest farm and fruit ranches in western Canada. "What do I think of the future of Lillooet?

There's a type of men arriving Unheralded, unsung, With their quiet ways, their fearless gaze, Fearless, true and strong. They are bronzed and lean from travel, Careless and free as the sun, For with the desert's thirst and Nome's chill curse They've grappled and fought and won. Their order is strong, their brotherhood loyal, Unwritten the laws they obey Their password is gold and wealth untold fs their hope to their dying- day. There is limitless space in this land of gold Virgin forests, mountains and streams Roll up the packs, rifle, pan and the'axe For Lillooet's the land of your dreams. W. H. cT D. BOOTH, B. SC. B. C.

Sufficient funds have been raised to purchase uniforms and outfit and practice games are to start at once. The following officers were elected: President, Joe Rus- sel, Vice President; H. Phair; Secretary, J. N. Cran; Treasurer, A. P. Hughes; Manager, J. Levi. A committee was appointed to make further arrangements and plans for the coming season. What do you say to a Lillooet district baseball league this summer, playing a regular schedule of games? That is the frame up at present. The number of baseball enthusiasts included in the construction camps is surprising, including many with real college records and can put up a classy exhibition that will do credit to a semi-professional. Mr. Thomas, the resident engineer on the Short Portage, is responsible for the idea and it has spread along the line, being favorably received by the diamond fiends in each camp. Nearly every residency and construction camp will be represented. The town of Lillooet is there with some good ball material and will not be slow in getting into the game. JAMES T.
