Visitors apd every effort was bent
to make their stay at the head of
Portland canal as pleasant as pos
sible,
The Grand Trunk liner Prinpe
George pulled ip to the wharf short
ly after 6 o’clock Saturday evening
with ah ul <iC0 on board, and there
wa* chorus of greetings as the
delegation op the wharf recognized
friends lining the sail of the ship.
Committees from both towns wel
comed the visitors on the wharf and
told them of the arrangements,
which gave Stewart the first part
of the night, with the wind-up of
iie visit occurring in Hyder.
Stewart put on a dance and serv
ed a supper, music being furnished
by an orchestra from the ship and
the Stewart orchestra. Prior to the
dance a meeting of the Association
was held at which the visitors were
eddressed by George Clothier, resi
dent mining engine! r for the B. C.
government, who covind the min
ing situation, Dalby B. Morkill, pro
vincial land surveyor, who spoke
of the hinterland of Stewart, and
H.W.M.Ral6ton, editor of the Port

for assistance in securing a pail

At 11 p.m. ail the autos and rigs

was by qo means slighted; pongs
were sprig and toasts cheered. J,P,
D. Malkin, president of the Vancou

referring in graceful phrases to the
Canadian flags w hich were equally
pieminent with American flags in
the hall decoration, Magnus Meis
ingseth, past president of the Pio
neers, welcomed the guests on be
half of the organization and of the
town, and Dr. W, P’Arcy Chace also
said a few words.
That was as far as the speech
making went, as from start to finish
it was the policy to keep the affair
entirely informal.
Many compliments were heard
concerning the floor in Pioneer Hall
which is considered the best dance
floor in the north,
Various groups wandered away
from the hall and "took in the
town,” some being disappointed (or
so they said) at finding the newest
frontier mining camp quieter and
more orderly than J_ne down-town

how much pep goes with good clothes
You have noticed it in people, and it ap
plies with equal force to baseball teams,
Take the llyder team for instance: since
they received their new uniforms they
are going to clean up all the teams they
can get their hands on yes sir. just natur
ally eat ’em up Not only that, they are
going to have the local hall park in spick
and span order right away Monday eve
ning a tractor and road grader scraped
the diamond down to the level of a bill
iard table, and the big Piemier snow roll
er will be hauled over it until the surface
is as hard as Coal Oil Johnny's heart.
There was a lot of shovel work went with
the cleaning-up, and the No 2s were
manipulated by the ball boys and busi
ness men of the town.
The team organization has been per
fected by the selection of W S, Orr for
secretary-treasurer. The club is well fix
ed financially, having over $300 in the
hank and no debts. Tue wires are being
worked in an effory to get a team from
Any ox or Alice Arm for the Fourth of
July.
A member of the club mentioned last
night that the uniforms should be decor
ated with the letter H and suggested that
it would be a graceful act if the ladies of
the town would volunteer to do the dec
orating If any of them feel so inclined
they should see Hilly Orr.

The rumor thtp Dap and Andy

mile group was without foundation,
They intend doing considerable de
velopment there this summer, ex
tending the tunnels which have ;;i
ready been driven a total of £40
feet on the lead, The Seven-mile
property has a bjg advantage i’ll
that it is on the Alaskan side and
right on the wagon road. The ore
carries gold, silver and lead and the
silver is worth $1.00 an ounce un
der the Pittman act. Although as
says as high as $200 per ton have
been common, the owners do net
consider it a shipping property.
They do believe however that it
will produce a tonnage of top grade
concentrating ore in sufficient quan
tity to warrant the construction ct
a eoncentsator.
FIND GOOD ORE ON
MOUNTAIN GIHL
Mr. and Mrs. E.H.Bartholf have
come down from the Outland Sil
ver Liar group on the west side of
Salmon glacier after establishing
camp and doing some surface pros
pectiug. Mr. Bartholf brought in
a quantiy of fine looking ore from
a recently discovered lead on the
Mountain Girl claim showing solid
steel galena mixed with mispichel.
He says there is a two-foot shoot
of this solid mineral in a lead 12
feet in width.
Mr. Bartholf has thoroughly in
vestigated the transportation quee
tion and is convinced that there is
no particular difficulty to overcome.
The ore can be sledded down the
glacier, which has an easy grade
and no bad crevasses; from the foot
of the the glacier a wagon road
could easily be built through a low
pass to Texas oreek, down this creek
to the new government bridge over •
the Salmon, and so connect with
the Salmon valley road. A glance
at the map will show this to be a
direct outlet foi many properties
of the upper Salmon basin.
F. C. Lawrence has received a shipment
of clocks which will be good friends to
their owners in the winter time. The
hands and figures are coated with phos
phorus and glow in the dark so that k
fallow can tell the time without getting
up and striking a match.
