(By

The
famous
Portland'
Canal
mining
town
of
Stewart
shows
every
indication
of
being
due.
this
season
for
the
commencement
of
another
mining
boom.
It
is
now
well
on
the
way
out
of
the
wartime
slump
which,
due
to
the
inactivity
of
precious
metal
mining,
almost
decimated
the
camp,
reducing
its
population
and
business
nearly
to
the
vanishing
point.
Now,
however,
the
people
say
that
everyone
capable
of
working
or
willing
can,
get
a
job
and,
indeed,
labor
Is
scarce.

All
the
new
life
around
the
town,
of
course,
stems
from
the
stimulation,
some
of
much
significance,
which
the
mining
Industry
is
showing.
Everyone
in
the
camp
l.s
highly
optimistic
that
happy
days
for
Stewart
are
immediately
'due
again.
The
newest
and
possibly
the
most
important
of
the
current
mining
developments
at
Stewart
Involves
the
three
spectacular

years
ago
with
an
aerial

Just

The
original

Another
property
immediately
handy
to
Stewart
which
is
again
receiving
attention
is
John
Haaliti's
Molly

at

of

just

on

Stewart

Gold

of

Haahiti
is
president,
is
undertaking
a
new
program
of
development
centering
in
the
limine
of
a
250-foot
tunnel
for
which
Emil
Brent
has
been
awarded
the
contract.
The
tunnel
work,
if
attended
by
favorable
results,
may
lead
to
a
diamond

and
eventual
installation
of

"it
only
appears
reasonable
to
expect
some
financial
recompense
from
the
province
for
the
service
rendered
and
that
these
services
should
be
paid
for
on
the
same
basis
as
those
provided
for
privately-owned
lots
that
is,
either
by
direct

or
by
the
annual
payment
of
an
amount
that
would
be
equal
thereto."
Social
Services
Seeking
relief
from
financial
responsibility
for
social
service,
the
brief
states:
"We
are
of
the
opinion
that
social
service
expenditures
are
a
direct
responsibility
of
the"Dominion
government.
We
claim
emphatically
that
they
should
not
hs
borne
by
municipal
taxpayers
and
therefore
request
that
they
bo
asumed
in
full
by
the
provincial
government,
which
is
.
in
a
position
to
negotiate
with
the
federal
government
for
full'
or
partial
responsibility
as
it
sees
fit."
The
brief
points
out
discrepancies
in
the
.Municipal
Act
which
even
in
normal
times
sometimes
work
to
the
disadvantage
of
the
municipalities.
Quoting
from
the
Municipal
Act
which
says
that
"it
should
be
the
duty
of
every
municipality
to
make
suitable
provision
for
its
poor
and
destitute,"'
the
brief
says:
"The
municipalities
are
called
upon
to
pay
for
medical
and
other
services
for
old
age
pensioners.
We
consider
that
there
is
something
radically
wrong
If
the
recipient
of
a
government
pension
"is
considered
by
that
government
to
be
poor
and
destitute."
The

the
prospect

the
brief
states.
Administration
of
Justice
Suggestion
that
a
provincial
Jail
should
be
built
in
the
northern
part
of
the

was
presented
as
an
alternative
for
the
claim
that
the
