The latest budget of the Chancellor of the' Exchequer, Mr. Dalton, announces the reduction or removal altogether of income tax from many people in the lower brackets and further cuts the excess profits tax, intimating that its complete removal may be expected before long. Of course, we may be told that this tax relief for Britain is being made possible through the; financial assistance she is receiving or expects to get from United States and to a lesser extent from Canada. That may be true but, nevertheless, the fact remains that a measure of relief is being brought to the people who, after all, are mow interested in seeing that things are done than introspecting into how they are accomplished. Canada will soon be getting its budget brought down and there is already keen speculation in what, if any, measure of tax relief may be in store for us now the war is over. It is reasonable to remind ourselves that, even if we may have felt at some times that we were badly done by, we have never borne the burden of taxation these many years on anything like the scale the people of Britain have been called upon to do and have patiently done. Stewart Is Going Ahead; Renewed Mining Activity Salmon Gold and Gold Drop Among Active Properties Town Is Livening Up STEWART This district has had many ups and downs since the boom years of 1910 and later 1917 when R. K. Neill proved up the world-famous Premier Mine which he sold to Woods Trites and Wilson, the Guggenheims of New York buying an interest and taking over the active management with Lime Li. fin m cnarge. Today the Salmon Gold Property, on the Salmon River, under the title of the Morris Summit . Gold Mines Ltd.. Is In process of , being brought under active development. Evan Harris has been busy for the bast, two months getting supplies up the Salmon River Road on to the Salmon River Glacier across which It will have to be taken a distance of approximately four miles to summit Lake where the property is located. Values obtained during diamond drilling operations In 1945 were sufficiently encouraging for the new company to go ahead with development, and they apparently have every confidence that it will turn Into a producer. On the Marmot River work has been proceeding on the Gold Drop Mining Company property with very .encouraging results. This property Is under the management of J. O. LeFrancois for eastern Interests. When vnn , xore " and n,j isY? ' 'I , lumbermen, merchants and business concerns alike have since proved for themselves by ' actual experience the sincerity of this advertisement. For personal purposes alone, well over 10.000. people are borrowing each month at Bof M branches from coast to coast. It Is understood that the Mountain Boy on American Creek and the L.L. and II. on Bitter Creek will also be actively engaged this year under the, same management.
