arrived up on the May, went over the
hill this morning to check up the of
fices, at Summit and Whitehorse.
Mr. Busoy makes an annual visit to
these parts and during the balance
of the year is ranging the world
over on like business. Since his
last visit he has been to Europe.
His wide range of observation flto
him peculiarly for passing Judgment
upon the complexion of things and
tendency of the times. He says
there is every indication of a rapid
recovery of business to the high mark
it has sustained for the past several
years, previous to the flurry of a
year ago. He says the western
smelters, for instance, are showing
increasing activity. The Oranby
smelter in the Boundary district, has
300 men employed, while at the mine
at Phoenix which supplies it with ore
there are 537 men. Some 3,000 tons
are treated every 24 hours and this
capacity Is being increased to 5,000.
The same activity Is seen in lesser
degree all along the line, he says.
The gold mines at Hedley, are work
ing full capacity.
The Greouwood smelter, owned by
the British Columbia Copper Co., and
oporated by the Consolidated Smelt
ing company at Trail is being enlarg
ed and is as busy as it can be.
