They, worked Jong hours each day and covered a lot of ground. McMorris exuress-K ed himself as being much impress ed with the promising ground he had seen. Heartened by an exceptionally encouraging report from W. G. Norrle-Loewenthal, consulting engineer, owners of the Glacier Gulch group of mineral claims at Lake Kathlyn near Smlthers have started the formation of a syndicate to finance the program recommended in the report. They have met with a good deal of encouragement and are confident that the neces sary funds will soon be raised. Dur ing his visit, Mr. Loewenthal made a thorough inspection of the Gla cier Gulch property and his report is highly, optimistic. He recom mends the extension of No. 3 tun F. Campbell and Grover Loveless, are enlisting local capital at Sml i i thers in order to make the carry ing out of the program possible. A start on the tunnel, employing a crew of seven men, will be made a? soon as the funds are available which is expected to be about the snd of this month. The work would probably occupy about foui months. With a clear knowledge of the gold values of the gold bismuth ore shipped from this proncrtv. Smlthers residents are confident that Glacier Gulch holds excen- tional opportunities and it-Is in the iigni, oi lniormauon irom actual shipments that the owners are re ceiving a good hearing on their proposal to finance the development locally. On completion of the tunnel, plans call for the installation of a mill. However, it is also felt that ore could be shipped on tunnel progress and the operation made to pay its way to a great extent. Sam Deschamps. veteran Slew- art mining man and owner of the Creek, was In Stewart recently for supplies. He is encaged at Dresent in rebuilding his mine camp and making other outside preparations for further development durlne the winter months, it- being the inten tion to carry on work throushout the winter. Mr.' DeschamDS Is highly pleased with progress made during the past season. Working alone for the greater part of the time, he mined and shipped seven teen tons of high .grade ore. aver aging $5 per ton in gold, 227 ounces silver and 33 percent lead. One shipment was treated in a European smelter and the other at Rel. by smelter. Following the announcement made by the provincial govern-nent that an ore sampling plant Is .o b2 established at Prince Rupert ;o purchase ore from prospectors ind small operators, L. S. David-;on, manager of the Welldun Mining (t Milling Co. at Stewart, states that his company in the future will not be In the market for such shipments of ore. The Welldun Co. has iurlng the past two seasons acted as ore buyers for. small operators in the Portland Canal district and has handled several hundred tons of ore for prospectors and leasers. In future all such shipments will be directed to the new government plant to be established at Prince Rupert. , l Coastwise Steamship & Barge Co.'s steamer Amur was at Stewart DON'T UK LATH Order Your Xmas SUIT or COAT today from House of Stone or House of Hobberlin clothes Large selection, fit guaranteed.

John D. Rochfort and John J. jpson, owners of the Parvatl roup of claims on Bitter Creek, .cport good results from a shipment of ore from this property. The smelter returns per ton were as follows: gold, .06 ounces; silver, 389.87 ounces; copper, '4.36 percent. One day a placid, poker-faced Oriental shuffled up, nodded to-j ward the mountain tops and said: "Now, white man hiyu rich. Put; stakes in snow. Bye and bye spring! come. Sun come. Snow melt. Stakes' fall down. Gold all gone. And he waved his arm in a sweeping gesture. For many of the gold-seekers the Oriental's prophecy came true as their dreams of wealth vanished with the melting snow. Then there were those who made good on their claims and went out wealthy. Oth-srs sold their claims to Cariboo Gold Quartz or Island Mountain Mines.
