i COMMENT ABOUT
THE a C, SILVER
The Mining World and Engineer
ing Record of London is a British
publication that is paying close at
tention to the mine development
of the Salmon river section. In the
issue of October 7 appears the fol
lowing editorial, which is of loeal
interest:
“There are many attractive pur
chases in the mining market, but
probably few offer more chances of
capital appreciation than Selukwel
Gold Mining & Finance. As is well
known, the company holds a con
trolling interest in the B. C. Silver
Mines, Ltd., situated in the Salmon
River district, British Columbia, and
adjoining the famous Premier mine.
A mining report has recently been
received from the company’s able
consulting engineer. Mr. C.ABanks,
M. Inst. M, M. The tunnel upon
which so much importance is at
tached has been advanoed 232 ft*
from the portal, the drills working
satisfactorily. Prospecting bore
hole No. 3 has reached a depth of
805 feet and has passed through
heavily mineralized country iron
and steel, with low silver valves.
(‘Country iron and steel’ is an en
igma; probably 'iron sulphides and j
steel galena is intended.—Ed.) The!
market regarded this report, which
is quite good, unfavouraly, and the
bears siezed the opportunity of
knocking down the shares, playing
evidently on the words 'low silver
values.’ We take this phrase to
mean low-grade ore which later, no
f
doubt, will be treated at a substan
tial profit. We advise these gentry
to cover their sales quickly (and
this they have partially doneX
thus avoiding the inevitable rub
bing of sore heads. In about three
months’ time, when developments
have advanced further, we antici
pate important discoveries, some
of which may come from the new
claim. Cascade Falls No. 5, acquir
ed by skilful negotiations in the
face of fierce competition."
The following is from a recent
number of Engineering and Mining
Journal-Press: “It is reported that
I the Selukwe Gold Mining & Finance
| Co. has received an offer of $5,000
000 for its shares in the British
Canadian Silver Corporation. This
would be equal to 25s. a share. The
offer is said to have been made by
the Guggenheims, owners of the
adjoining claims, who are of the
opinion that the rich deposit in
their area extends into the British
Canadian Silver Corporation ground.
There seem to be two opinions
among the directors, one party be
ing for acceptance, and the other
for continuing drilling and taking
for the Selukwe itself the risks
which are eonsidered as good. The
$5,000,000 is to be payable over
four years,
Little Harold had been reading
Treasure Island" since early mor
ning and it was only with a great
deal of persuasion on the part of
his mother that he finally consent
ed to put it up when he went to
bea. But his devout mother was
not prepared for the variation he
sprung when he was saying his
prayers:
“Give us this day our daily bread
—yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!”
