syndicate that does so will make ample

A correspondent writing from the
new town of Trail. In British Column

smelter. says: THE foresight of E. 8.
Topping and the splendid enterprise of
+. A Heinze have in an incredibly
short time created the town of Trail.
with its 200 or 1900 inhabitants, Is the
beginning of great things. From Trail
to Rossland and both sides of the val
ley seemed to be honeycombed with
veins of precious ore. These veins are
everywhere. They run down the river
and they cut the tops of the mountains.
The country rock Is a diorite and afro
ciouSly hard and development work is
consequently slow. Moreover, trans
portation from Rossland to the Column
bia till now was more atrocious STILL
You took your life in your hands every
time you staged IL from Rossland
either to Trail or Northport and it took
a four horse team to haul two tons
of ore except when the snow was deep
enough and hard enough for sleighliIg
Now the Columbia & Western railroad
will connect Rossland with Trail. 1t
is not a running concern yet, but will
be before another month is passed.
This railroad owes its existence to the
push and enterprise of Mr.. Heinze of
Butte. He has now received a charter
from the provincial government for
pushing his road on to the Okanogan
country, a distance of 200 miles and
from the government a land grant of
a couple of million acres to effect this.
He IL is who has erected the mating
plant at Trail which Is perched on a
plateau $50 feet above the river.
THE sight of this plant at night
belching fire and smoke into the blue
sky is indeed a contrast to the lonely
solitude of few short years ago. And
the mating plant Is but the beginning
of great reduction works at Trail. 1t
is Mr.. Heinze's intention to extend his
plant in order to reduce all the ore
produced in Trail Greek. and he is one
of the men who ia as good as his word.
II is also his intention TO establish a re-
finery there and with these improve
ments and the development in Ross
land. Trail is certain to become a town
of 10000 people within a very few
years"
