It' looks as if there had been discrimination against the, port of Prince Rupert in the matter of excursion rates from the East and also in regard to through tickets fo Alaska. According to the telegram of Vice-president Dalryrnple, the Canadian National is controlled in its policy by the American transportation companies and anything that would give Canada an advantage must be carefully frowned down. If excursion rates were put in force between the East and Alaska by way of Prine Rupert the hostility of the American roads would be incurred and this could. not be allowed. Why Was Road To Prince Rupert Built? Why was the railroad to Prince Rupert built? We all understood jt was in order to give Canada an advantage' in travel to the Orient and to Alaska. Now ilvis built the railway company refuse to utilize it for that purpose. If the peoplo of Canada do not want to use the railwaj to Prince Rupert, why not turn it over to some big American company? Take the New York CenlraLas an example. They have ! no Pacific, outlet and it has been persistently rumored that they would be glad to secure one. Prince Rupert would be glad ,to have the road transferred to them because they would use it and make it pay. If we are to'be controlled by the American com panies it would be much" better In let them have the road allo- gelher and led us get the benefit. , ' . . What Has Prince Rupert Yet Received? Since Sir Henry Thornton took charge of the road, what , has rrnre llupert received from the railway? Nothing, except a totem pole and numerous promises, every one of which has been unfulfilled. Not even the little steamer plying out of (his port has been secured. The Prince Charles vns purchased abroad and when work was needed fo be done on her it was sent to the Wallace shipyards at Vancouver, when there was a yard of their own right here-fully capable of doing the work. We believe that F. fi. Dawson, the lnpnl director has done his utmost for us. The difficulty is that the forces pulling in the opposite direction seem to have been too- strong. Any excuse, no matter how flimsy, seems to have been used by the railway company for discriminating" -against this port. Why Does This Line Not Pay? ' - Before the Parliamentary committee' Sir Ilenrv Thornton said this part of the railway did not pay. Jt could 'hardly be otherwise. It has never had a chance; It has apparently not been considered seriously. What we want is a man. at the head who will consider this line seriously and who will show bv his actions that he does so. ' When Sir Henry was appointed to the position, we had high hopes of improvement. We were promised one thing after another but we have received nothing. Sir Henry Drnvlnn in debate in the House of Commons the other dav pointed' to the big shed at Prince Rupert that was not used. Win ? Because no effort i? made to use iL We are not looked upon seriously as a facjor in the transcontinental system. ; What .would best erve -princ "Rupert would be a return to private ownership? Lean's urge the leasing of the line'to-Ibe. .New York Central or to some other big American concern that can use it to advantage and that will not take every possible opportunity to slap us in the face. "My Wife Handles the Money" The wife deposits In a joint account For the children , too $o a business man writes us. "She can do it better than I. Each pay day she always deposits Our Sivinot flr.t 11 - . - fc- iiv -i never buv anvthirnr unl .t i pay for it and each year our savings are crowing." A Joint Account in the name of husband and wife allows the wife to deposit or withdraw money during her husband's absence or when he cannot get to the bank.during business hours. A Savings Account for the children will leach them the value of keeping their money, thus helping them to form the habit of saving. The n&m Bank of Mda Prince Rupert Branch F, E.

The total length, north and south, is ahonl TOO miles, or which the northern portion, oH about 100 miles, lies behind or east of the Alaska panhandle, at an average djsfanre or about :I0 miles from, tide water and ne- oessible only where navigable waters peuetriite the Coast Itange. of mountains. The southern portion of itie tlotnn, of aooui .iuu miles alone the coast, is a very accessible area, a decided ad- vantage from a prospecting am From a mineral Hearing iew-jxiiiit. the district divides itself naturally into three holts or nines -namely, the great. Central Bell or Coast Hnnere ami the two flanking zones, the Kastern Contact Bell on the eastern side and the Western Contact Bell on the western or roast side of t lie Coast Range. Belt may he termed tho copper-bell as exemplified by the Outsider mine on Portland Camrt, the Hidden Creek mine of the firanby Company at Anynx, and Marble Bay and Britannia farther south. The West era. .Bolt produces mainly copper, but also contains numerous small gold-quartz veins. This is exemplified by the showings on Vancouver Island, J)ueen Charlotte Islands, anil the ouH-r islands of the Alaska coast. The Kastem Boll is characterized by its jjold, silver, and lead deposits and their combinations as shown by the Kngineer and Atlin silver- lead mines in the Allin country. Hie Premier and Dnnwoll in the Pohlland Canal section, (he Dolly Varden, and. others in the Alice Arm section, the Bear and other nrnperlies in the Kilsumgallum Lake area, and the Ootsa Lake and Whilesail Lake areas farther south. Prospectng Active Prospecting during 11)21 has probably been much more active in every part of the district than heretofore. The Porthud Canal onntry, being in tho public eye, has no doubt bad Its 1nost Intensive prospecting year; "every prospector Is tombing- his ground thoroughly and expending all iiis energies in developing his findings to the point where be can interest capital. That this system is beneficial is evidenced by the number of companies or gauized thH year to explore these prospects. Office statistics in the Portland Canal Division shnwj an increase of mineral claims! recorded, but it is a safe statement that the majority of these are relocations or reMakinps by individuals who have mord claims than they can possibly! perform the legal assessment on; Ibis to tho exclusion of others who would stake, perform the! assessment work, and thus aid the doxelopment of the country. The Portland Canal area has been pretty closely staked up In neads of the main valfey, the Salmon nryl Boar rivers, and probably to the heads of Ihe tributary valley as well. For new ground the prospector would Ihertefnre have to go over the divides, on to the Naas River slope, which tit .'course mean. ifhless something extraordinary was discovered, a wail of hn In-definale lime for adequate trans portation. The Alice Arm country lias bad a better than ordinary prospecting season notwithstanding the inactivity in mininer In that section. Here there are more opportunities for the prospector, because the country has not been as closely staked, and also many 'claims have heen allowed lo lapse on account of the non-fn-teresl In mfning. due mainly to Hie closing down or tho Dolly Varden mine and railway.' Houndy and Lime crooks, tho llli-ance and Kitsault rivers Hnd tributaries, all offer favorable prospecting areas. KltsumgaUum Lake The Kitsuiogallum Lake section has hail its' must active season in prospecting; a great deal of country has been explored and about seventy groups or claims staked on new ground. The advancement of the truck mad from Terrace, on the Canadian National Hallway, lo Kilsumgallum Lake and the optioning of two or three properties to outside mining men have greatly encouraged tho prospectors, nnd I look for an appreciable expansion In minlrng within the next year or two. There Is considerable open prospecting ground in Ibis section and operating "standpoint. plenty of opportunity f6rj development work. Some prospecting has "been lone Ihis yt-ar along IheSiikine Itixer, hut nm'oufitlng to -nothing when Hie extent of country and its accessibility are taken into cousideiHittbu. The granile- I contact crosses, the Slikine about l'htt Coast Hange or Central , Clearwater Hiver and from that. point east pecurs the same min ernlizcd bell that is proving so productive at Stewart; ttyoT,i Alice Arm. and north' at Atlin. There is sufficient wen of practically virgin country up the Stikine and Iskut rivers to require hundreds of prospector's to explore. Dease Lake The conversion of Ihc old pack trail from Telegraph Creek, at the head of navigation on tliel Stikine Hiver. to Dense Luke into a truck road is giving tint vast area :i real mining impetus and makes .available on unlimited aren for both lode mid placer prospecting. Late this fall a report was made of a discovery of placer ground on Cold Pan creek, . a tributary of Knele Hiver, a distance of eight to 12 miles east qf the centre or Dease Lake. While bedrock was not reached by the .discoverers, sufficient coarse gold was obtained from rim-rock to warrant the investigation of this area in the spring. It is author itatively slated" that the country for to lo CO miles east of tbis Is favorable for placer prospecting. t he reoptirntiug of the engin eer mine and the development of the properly of Ihe Atlin Silver i.ean .Mines, i. muled, will no doubt lead to further prospecting in the Allin Division, Which has everything to recommend it lo the prospector for the summer season. The (Jueen Charlotte Islands and the const and offshore islands have had about the usu.tl amount of prospecting tbis yeiir, but nothing of much importance has heen reported. A!loeier about !,000 claim have been recorded in the district during 1021, practically the same as for the prereding year. Help to Prospectors Owing to extent of territory and lack of lime 1 have been unable this year to locale ami nr-rango for "prospecting trail" into new mineral areas. l believe this scheme of having prospectors themselves cut rough trails into new fields at a small cost ppr mile lo the government will prove very beneficial in in- palatable way to take Xleast Qy Soak a cake of Royal Yeast with a little sugar in a quarter of a glass of tepid -water over night.
