A leak in a barge loaded
with second grade Premier ore
while loading at the Stewart
wharf a few days ago cost that
company the good sized sum of
$25,000, according to unoffic

trates destined for the Granby

check the water failed and an
attempt was madet to beajdh
the barge on the shallow tide
flat south of the wharf but be
fore it could be done the barge
attempted a head end dive,
dumping the ore into the chan

The International Service
Club, composed of war veter
ans from both sideg of the
boundary line, will observe
the anniversary of the battle of
Vimy Ridge, fought on April
9, 1917. The battle was one in
which the Canadian forces took

the famous height, which was
one of the most formidable
positions on tflie Pranco-Bel
gian battle line. The celebrat
ion will take the form of a
whist drive, open to everyone
in Stewart and Hyder, and will
be held at the Stewart Opera
House, commencing at 8 P. M.,j
Wednesday evening.
The program will include a
whist tourney, a special dis
play of motion pictures and a
tasty luncheon. Admission, in
cluding refreshments, will be
50 cents for gentlemen, ladies
free.
Owing to the bad state of the
trails in that section, the work
of hauling the new compressor
and other mine equipment for
the Independence has been
greatly delayed, according to
Manager S. P. Fitzgerald, who
returned from a trip to the
property a few days ago. Mr.
Fitzgerald stated that teams
employed ih freighting the
equipment during the past
week jcoqld get no farther than
Glacier creek, a short distance
below the Independence and
the use of double enders and
man power would be necessary
to cover the balance of the way
to the property. As the new
outfit, in addition to a SVaton
compressor, includes nearly SO
tons of other material and sup
plies, the work of getting it to
the mine under present condit
ions is a distinctly sizeable one.
Mr. Henry Avison, father of
Mrs. M. R. Jamieson and a
widely know former resident

vices received by Mrs. Jamie

of double pneumonia.
Although 65 years of age, Mr.
Avison was hale and hearty
and his death came as a great
shock to Mrs. Jamieson, who
received a telegram Monday
saying that he was ill and had
been taken to the hospital and
on the following day received
another bearing the sad news
of his demise.
The deceased was formerly a
governmental sanitary inspect
or at Stewart, where he resid
ed during the old boom days
and was a highly esteemed
citizen.
