Many Passengers Arrive
 And Ore Shipment Leaves

Carrying 52 passengert and an exceptionally heavy cargo, the Jehn arrived Sunday evening riding so low in the water that people on shore thought the ship had met with an accident. There were very few ''round-trippers aboard, large portion of the passengers. being residents of the district who were returning from temporary pleasure and Business trips, or leaving the stagnation of Outside cities to participate in the greater oppor- tunities offered in a young, grow ing mining camp. In addition there were a number of new corners who expect to make their homes here. The passengers report that the rush to the north is already exceptionally heavy, the Prince George being chuck a-block when leaving Vancou- yer.
 The John was in port "A hours unloading freight and taking on over 500 tons of high-grade Pre- mier ore, which makes the fifth shipment that the mine has made this winter, The other ship ments averaged about 500 tons.

 SILVER Tp MrN1aee S1NDa- GATE, LTD.-This syndicate wsx formed last winter in Vancouver with a capitalization of fifty shares at $500 a share. It took over the Silver Tip group of claims from the owners and did considerable work on them this summer on the recommendation of P. W. Racey, N. K. The work consists of open cuts. stripping, and short tunnel driven from the bank of the creek on a small high grade vein cropping on the lower claims of the group. Re. sults here are reported as satist factory. On the upper claims a lot of deep trenching, open cut ting and stripping was done, fol- lowing and exposing a coarse brownish-Erey dyke striking north south. The dyke has been crushed and shattered, the ce- menting quartz, forming small veinlets, cutting for the greater part diagonally across the dyke, These veinlsts are more or less mineralizsd with galena, sphaler. ite, and silver sulphldes, and contain some very high grade ore. The dyke rock itself car ries no values; consequently the average values depend on the frequency and richness of the quartz veinlets. I have later been informed that average sam ples give satisfactory milling values. The concentrates should be very high grade,

Some Salmon Properties
 Reported On By Clothier

The report of Geo. Clothier, ''. c. resident engineer for this district, is too voluminous to be published in one issue of this paper. Last week the introduc- tory remarks were published, and this week VI present the first installmsnt of the report on various properties. This system will be continued until the re- port is finished.
 PREMIER GOLD MINING Co.,, LTD. This company has had an extremely busy season, mainly on construction, installations and development work. Probably the most noteworthy feature of the whole section is the satisfactory results obtained in underground development and diamond drill ing, proving the continuity at depth of the high grade ore shoots exposed in the upper tun- nsl, and thus assuring the per- manency of the property and section.
 The management is vigorously pushing an extensive program of equipping the property; a hydro-electric power plant has been installed; a compressor and mining machinery provided for the opening-up of the mine from the Plate tuRnsl; a 5O-ton mill is under construction and will be completed early in the spring, Transportation facilities are be. ing improved and everything is being done as quickly as possible to put the property in shape for big production.
 Winter haulage is the only means at present of getting ore down from the mine to the beach and for this purpose two Holt caterpillar tractors have been taken in for this winter. 1t Is expected by this means to get out sevesal thousand tons this winter.
 This year the shipments amounted to $50 tons, which yielded 2,,7O1 OF. gold and 92, 183 oz. silver, or an average of ap- proximately $175 a ton. The property is under the manage ment of Dale L. Pitt, with Bert F. Smith as assistant manager.
 BUSH MINES, LTD. This com pany has been working in a small way all summer, but work has been closed for the winter. Some spots of high grade ore were found in No. 3 tunnel, but not in sufficient quantity to be of inn portance,
 B. c. SILVER MINES, LTD.- l understand that the holdings of this company are under bond to Chas. A. Banks. The proper ty adjoins the Premier on the north, Good camps were erected this summer and two short dia- mond drill holes put in that did not prove very satisfactory. am informed that extensive dia- mond drilling is planned for next year.

will undoubtedly claim that, by rea.
son OF her situation, she cannot assent
to having her army reduced to some
10000. which, in a strict following Of
the formula. is the size OF the army
which would be permitted to Frances
population OF 10000. .0vo. All this needs
only to be hinted at. fhe information
at the hands of every reader will sug-
gest the qualifications and difficulties
which will justly be brought up
against the application Of such for
mula to all the nations of the world
In the same way, consider tho DIFF
ficultics which attend the effort TO
arrive at some similar formula for
the reduction OF navies. 1t would be
simple to say that every nation shall
be entitled to a navy in proportion to
its population. but every naval expert
and every statesman knows that such
n proposal would hardly be accepted
by any national in the conference. 1t
is not population alone that determines
n nations needs for a navy. Much
more than population. It is a question
of geographical location in regard to
potential enemies. Great Britain. be-
ing an island nation, with its colonies
and dependencies scattered thruout the

ably the most practical formula Tor 70.
duc,ug armies that has been proposeu
starts with the case OF Germany. Ger
many has IA population of roughly ~,
900 600 people. The Judgment OF the
statesmen and military experts OF tne
world. as expressed in the recent peace
treaty, says that the size OF the army
which 1t is reasonable for Germany 70
maintain for police purposes Is 1ooUo.
That is the size of the army which
Germany is permitted to maintain un-
der the terms of the Versailles treaty.
You can start at this point and say
that II "a nation of 10000. 900 is entitled
to an army of 1901 .0oo then other ma
tions shall be entitled TO maintain ar
mics that bear the same relation TO
their population. Oddly enough. IL this
formula were adopted. it would give
the United States an army or pre-
cfsely the same size that we now have
Our population is about 1o5 .oVo.
That is. roughly. one and a half times
the population of Germany. Our army
is now 10000 and that is exactly one
and a half times the size of the army
that has been adjndged as reasonable
for Germany The same proportion
can be worked out for all the other ma
ttons concerned, but the fact still re-
mains that some other nations Will
claim, and claim justly that their sit
uation is different from that OF Ger
many or the United states. France
