LODE CAMP THAT STANDS
PO W DEKJS EVOLVING INTO
ONE Ob' THE WORLD’S
GREATEST
The ToiHand Canal mining
camp, gathering momentum fr
om the results of the develope
menc work that has been going
on for the past two years, is
this .year facing its most prosp
erous season. Development has
dispelled doubt; uncertainty7 has
been removed by the intelligent
application of muscle and powder,
and one of the world’s great lode
camps in the making is well ad

goal. VY hal for a time was geuer-j

a dozen properties in this dist

Every working day the many fine
prospects under development are
nearing the production stage—
the desired end.
