Finest Mining Deal in Province for Two Decades Has Been Made on Prosperity By the payment of $20,000 cash and signing a bond to pay the balance of $125,000 inside of three years in four payments, the Premier Gold Mining Co. has acquired a 52 per cent interest in the Prosperity group of seven claims on the north fork of Marmot River, says the Portland Canal News. This, without doubt, is the finest deal made on a mining property in Dritish Columbia in the last two decades. When Taylor obtained $10,000 cash on a $200,000 bond for the entire sale of his property at Topley, the fact was heralded far and aide a a wonder. "Operating csmpanlea are not doing that aort of thUvT.' It waa aald. The deal Jut made here has the Tayl-.tr deal faded. Just the Portland Canal dUtrtct come along all the time with a tittle bit better resulta than any other mining section of B.C. can produce In any respect. The Prosperity 1 owned by T. R. Jancowakl. Ell Watland. O. D. Darla. Oeo. Uehlfeld and t. E. Jancowakl. It adJo'.tJi the Porter Idaho, which ha been aumewhat of a spectacular producer, although handicapped by having to pay ISO a ton to get It ore to tidewater. A reported a ahcrt time ago the Prosperity owner reciived IG.500 from the Trail, smelter for 30 tone of ore. It 1 freely admitted by the owner of the property, and must have been recognlird by the purchasers, that an amount of ore worth, more than the caih payment ha been exposed by development. MKI.VIN (lltOI I The Melvin group of five, claim owned by Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Steven ol Hyder. waa optioned under a holding agre'jttent before h present deal wa mad. Thla option la for $en.u00. but the exact term of the payment are not made public. Owney McFadden of Stewart, Oeorge Brown. St. Francla Hotel, Vancouver, and Ell Watland of Stewart have alao entered into the big deal with a claim each, bonding tor 30, 000. Thla mkea is claim whloh the Premier organization ha ecured In the Marmot aectlon. What their development plan 1. remains to be seen. Credit mut be given to F. R. Jane-, owakt for presenting thla proportion to the Premier In auoh an attractive light a to make It consummation a fact. Credit muit also be given the Premier Ccmpany for being prepared to uae their great organization to further pro ductton In other aectlon than the. one they have ao auxesafully demonstrated durlAg the patt fire year.
