CAMP Among the various mining districts of British Columbia, none during the lust few years has Jumped so prominently Into the limelight and appealed so much to public Interest as the Portland Canal District. After many vicissitudes and disappointments, arising to a great extent from lack of geo logical knowledge, capital and suitable working facilities. It suddenly, by the discovery of the wonderful "Premier" mine In the Salmon river section Aroused the enthusiasm of mining men, not only In Canada but throughout the mining world. The discovery of the Premier was but the forerunner for intensive prospecting, resulting In rapid In fact almost abnormal-develop ment In every section of the rich Port land Canal Field In the last six years the Premier mine has produced over t30.000.000 and paid Its shareholders around $10,500,000 in dividends.

B. Bush as president and tianaglng director, the Consolidation Is fortunate, Since the year 1910 his whole Interest has been bound up In the Portland Canal District, the possl-j billtles of which, as a great mineral producer. Inspired his imagination and, led to efforts which have already laid the. foundation of more than one great mining success. ' Mr. Bush owned the ' first claims, which now form some of the main' holdings ofthe Premier Mine. The purchase of other claims followed, con-' stltutlng the ownership of what are now known as the B.C. Silver and Na-, tional Silver, each of which bids fair to outrival - the Premier as producer of wealth. The success which attended the opening up of these properties led Mr. Bush to acquire a large number of claims In the same vicinity, which now form the foundation of Bush Consoll-, dated Gold Mines Limited.
