COMMENT ON THE CAMP

mances come under the latter cate

Of San Francisco is unbiased, aim
ing at facts only.
0Thc following is taken from a
recent issue:
That there will be something ap
proaching a rush into the Salmon
river district in northern British
Columbia, as soon aa the season
1 teaks, appears certain. The devel
opment at the Premier mine and
work on other properties in the vi
ciuity, together with the staking of
many new claims, have . had the
effect of attracting widespread at
tention to this part of the northern
country. The towns of Hyder and
Stewart, the portals through which
miners and prospectors must pass,
are booming- Peal estate is said
to he selling al high figures in both
towns and it is known that many
enterprising business-men ate wait

Pale Pitt, assistant manager of
the Premier mine, says that there
is a misleading impression that the
country is another Klondike. He

that it is a hard-rock camp and that
money is needed to develop it.

not understand the conditions, Pitt’s
statement may be supplemented.
In and around Hyder the snow us

April and in the hills it often per
sists until June. Although every-!
thing poesible is being done to pre

hundreds ofjvisitors looked for, those
proposing the trip will be well ad
vised to carry with them tents and
blankets. The short road between
Stewart and Hyder that involved
extremely heavy and expensive con
struction is complete. The Premier
company, it is understood, carried
the road from Hyder through the
American territory to the Canadian
boundary, from which p>4nt it
was taken up by the Provincial
