Elnien- dorf, of- the Portland Canal Tunnels Ltd. from the south !s believed to indicate in many quarters that the long tunnel being driven to tap the Glaci-r Creek vein series at depth has entered promising ground. 4) Thursday the big bore was in a distance of 2,800 feet, but at the time of going to press Mr, Elnen- dorff had not returned from the property, so nothing of a definite character could be obtained f.r publication. It unofficially stated that the crosscutl had re- cently passed through one vein and the drills were now working in another. The tunnel is bei iz driven ahead at a average of slightly over 60 feet a week. While no records are being made for driving the tunnel, there has is been a record achieved for cost per foot which reflects great credit on the manager and the men employed. The work to date 'has been accomplished at a cost of around $20 per foot, and against this price is charged all salaries, expenses,» and of the necessary buildings, machin- cost ery, track, etc. The face of the tunnel! is in the Melba claim and is just ten feet south of the end-line of the Lucky Boy claim of the Glacier Creek Mining Co., Ltd.—Port- land Canal Miner. WANTS INVESTIGATION ; INTO WRECK GEORGE Captain C, H. Nicholson, man- ager of G. T. P. steamers, made the following statement: “We have applied to the Dominion Government wreck commission for an investigation into the re- cent stranding of the Prince George, with the idea of bringing oul the circumstances. We claim that the Marine Express No, 14, which was already ashore, did not display the proper lights, and we want the commissioner to hold a full enquiry into the whole matter.” PHONE 26 Branch Yard at Smithers, B.
