But back at all this welter 'of feverish speculation Is the stcry of the tabulnuly rich Portland Oanal country and Its dla caverer. "Bll! Oe;rge." As Mr Drury tell it. it is an enthralling story. In 1909 Mr. necrge was sent by a group ol men to report jii a certain mining property on the far-off Portland Canal. His report was ths he didn't think much of this particular property, but the country there was the beat lie had ever boan in. go promising, tn fact, did it appear to him that h decided to remain thce and exjtlotw tar blraaelf He went up th Star lvr to the up-ping grouada of th Has.

But Mr. do urge bad an ooough to make htm a believe la. spta of all difficulties. He aorlflMd, rt)Mng b had or hopwi to have yo saak) ggod with hi dkcovety. A lttttt group of old friends In Victoria,' including P. U. Mnklater. a merchant, atSd Richard tone, a government official, believed in his man who told them of hi great .nine proapect in th north. They helped him now and then With fund, wtyt ht vnt Ahead to show, up what his maun. Uni'wap niad . ' Per ye.-rs he plugged away, without reward, but never with the thought of Tlviug up. He betted out of the perpen-.Hcuiar. soild-rock mountain side, a zlg-ag trail, which enabled hone pack trains to climb with tbelr load-, to the 4.000-foot elevation. Then he toUowed along the great veins, open-cutting them every roup of hundred feet and exposing th bonanza ore. The showing md their extent were amazing. But still after dcd and a half of th hard-it kind of physical labor, be wa a Ung way from having a producing mine, as It required capital and lot of It to handle such an immense development. "Bill" Oeorge persuaded th engineer o.' the Consolidated Mining 4 Smelting Company to turn their attention to the Portland Canal, and ipacifloaUy to hi copper mountain, which h had ben fathering along lor seventeen lean and lonely year. A a result of what engineers saw the Consolidated at once In th spring of last year took over from Mr. Oeorge controlling Interest of fifty-two par cent of th stock of hi company. Then through th Bank of Montreal, they got enouia mort undet option to make total of ninety-three per cent of the stock, leaving only seven per cent scat- the few old friends of the prospector who had stuck with him and hi discovery through the years of struggle. A soon aa th now had receded from the altitudes. Consolidated diamond drill crew were sent up by hor pack train to the 4,000-foot level. " They drove two exploratory holes Into the bowel of the Oeorge Mountain before wintar cam on and forced thm from the height. The results were ao confirmatory of what had been anticipated that this spring enlarged crews are being sent up the hill to drive a whole series of hole to cut the big vein at depth, and over a quarter of a mil from the surface, and thus be abt to form something of an accurate estimate of the millions of ton of high grade coppr-gold ore awaiting the Canadian miner In this one massive depoalt. Foreseeing the Immensity of th development involved, surveyors were sent up the river, where they acquired for Canada's greatest mining organization all the ad)ent otalm Into which the Oeorge copper veins would likely lead, and- also th townalte olalms In the river valley flat, thousands of feet below the diamond arm working.
