B|G MINING DEAL
 MADE ON GROUND
 ADJOINING PREMIER

One-third interest in the B. c. Sil- yer group, adjoining the Premier. has been purchased by New York interests, presumed to be the Gua- genheims, for price said to be $100,000, the vendors being Grant Manhood of Stewart and o. B. Bush of Vancouver. A deal of this kind has been anticipated ever since the fact was established that the Pre- mieg oTebody goes into this ground, in fact no other outcome could be expected than it's acquisition by the Premier Gold Mining O.. which is controlled by the American Smelt- ing and Refining Co.,, otherwise the Guggenheims.
 The Seluqui Gold Fields Ltd, of South Africa, represented on this coast by c. A. Banks of Vancouver controls the remaining two-thirds of the group. The property was originally staked by Grant Mahoed, Chas. Lake and Dave O'Leary.
 The next move concerning the property will either be the outright purchase of the remaining interest or the making of a business arrange ment whereby the ground will be opened up through the Premier workings with a proportionate amount of the profits going to the Seluqui company. In either event the latter company appears to be in a position to practically dictate terms at this time.

CAPT, ANDERSON
 NEGOTIATING FOR
 MODERN TRAM

James Anderson, one of the or i3inal owners of the townsite of Rossland. B. C. for many years a popular official of the Canadian customs service at that point and later a resident of Trail, was in Spokane last week in consultation with the Riblet Tramway Co.,. going over preliminary plans for an aerial tramway. 1.2 miles long, to be constructed at the SiIverado smine, Portland Canal district, next sum- mer, says Northwest Mining Truth. MT. Anderson is associated in the ownership of the property with J. J. Coughlan, shipbuilder, of Van couveF, and it is said that recent development has been of the most encouraging nature. The mine is within sight of Stewart, near the mouth of Bear creek.
 This was MT. AndeHson's first visit to Spokane for about IS years, although in the early days he was a familiar figure at the Hotel Spo- kane. Since leaving the Kootenays he has been interested in various mining projects, oil ventures in Peace river and railroad projects, until the outbrssk of the wsE

RAWH|D|NG ORE DOWN FROM THE
 S|LVERADO MINE

The initial tram installed at the Silverado is operating and the high grade ore that was sacked during the course of development is mov- ina down the hill to where it can be reached by a rawhide trail. The Hyder Transfer Go. have the con- tract for bringing it from the lower terminal to the wharf, and Harry Reid took bunch of horses over the latter part of the week to start the work. He figured on snowshoe- ing the horses for several trips, or until the snow became packed suf- ficiently solid to support them.
 The ore will be rawhided to the old railroad barn and transferred from there to the wharf by sleds. No ore has been sacked that would not go better than $500 per ton, and some of it reaches the 5000 mark. There were between 20 and 30 tons of this grade of ore sacked at the mine when the tram started operating.
 Mining operations are being crowded, with all the men employ ed for whom room can be found, and more will be added as the pro- perty becomes more extensively opened up. One round trip day can be made with the horses.

PREMIER TRAM EXCEEDING ITS
 SPECIFICATION

The Premier tramline continues to work perfectly, and a feature that is very pleasing both to the company and to T, H, Graham who superintended the construction, is the fact that it is exceeding it's specified delivery capacity by 30 per cent, depositing 13 tons of ore an hour in the bunkers instead of ten, for which the contract called, A double shift was put on the tram this week. and it is learned on good authority that there is sufficient shipping ore in sight at the mine to keep the 23-mile string of buckets operating at full capacity through out the year. This means that the Premier will produce this year at least $15,OO0.0OO. more than one half of the total mineral production of British Columbia for last year.
 The freighteT Amur, Captain Nc Naughton. arrived Sunday night  and left Monday night with about $50 tons of ore, calling at Anyox to complete her cargo at the Granby smelter. The freighter Anyok, Cap tain McEaehern, which left on the 22nd of January with a half mil lion dollars worth of ore, is back at the bankers again and will clean them out SO that the chutes can be lined with iron t0 prevent the ore from freezing to the sides. The amount of ore to be taken away on this trip in not known at this writ ing, but it will probably be in the neighborhoed of 1000 tons.

A most enjoyable party and dance was held last Friday evening in the Ocean View Hotel, being an invi- tational affair arranged by w. J. Crawford and Reggie Maefarlane. About 30 Stewart couples partici- pated, making a good old-fashioned sleiehing party to and from the hotel.

PREMIER MAKES
 BIG INCREASE IN
 B. C. PRODUCTION

Owing to returns made in Vic toria by the Premier Geld Mining Co at the very close of the year, which it was anticipated would not have been made in time to be in- tluded in last years production, the mineral production of British Col umbia will be considerably greater than was expected when the official estimate was made; it will reach $28,934,848. The Premier, which has produced more than a million ounces of silver and more than 25,000 ounces of gold, will cause both the gold and silver productions to be greater than those of 1920. The zinc and lead output from the Sullivan mine are in excess of what previously was anticipated, so that the value of the total mineral out put will fall only abotit IS per cent short of that of 1920.

ASK PROTECTION OE
 RIVER BANK

Under instructions from the fly dev 1g)oo of Pioneers, R.L. Stewart, their secretary, recently addressed a letter to Dan Sutherland, Alaskan Delegate, regarding Salmon river. The letter reads, in part, as follows:
 This stream, as you know, is gla- ciai in it's origin, and any explana- tion from us would be superfluous as to it's conduct. The facts are that homes and other property have already been damaged to a great extent, in some instances houses and entire lots have been swept away completely.
 These homes are on the Forest Reserve and the property holders there have been induced to take up these lots and make improvements thereon, for which the Government has accepted a yearly rental,
 This portion of the town is the only part available suitable for home sites and must be preserved for the population that we are right fully entitled to expect in the near future in view of the development that is taking place in the sur rounding country.
 The expenditure of money for the protection of these properties is not establishing a precedent at all as Valdez, for instance, was made safe by Government appropriation lOl tulS vel pul pUSC.
 The Bureau of Public Roads has already spent considerable money in the construction of a road up the Salmon River Valley and if, as is certain, the river is allowed to en- croach any further on this limit, this money will have been expend- ed in vain.
 We urge upon you tGe necessity of bringing this matter to the atten- tion of the proper Department or Departments and would point to the fact that prompt action is vital to the prevention of further damage,

THE "COLORED BROTHER"

the Writer Regards Him
Clinton Chronicle.

Clinton Chronicle.
We reproduce from the Commercial
Appeal of September 7th, the follow
ing extracts from an article written
by S. F. Davis of Indianola, Miss, on
the negro whom he regards rs the
Creators Masterpiece" That the
writer is thoroughly familiar with
his subject is shown by the interest
ing and amusing and truthful manner
in which he handles it:
.'The negro can lie down beneath
the scorching rays of a MONDAY sun
and sleep the sleep of the seven sleep
ers of old without suffering any evil
effects from it whatever; or he can
weather the hercest winter gale, clad
only in pair of cotton overalls and
? blue jumper. He can also wear
an overcoat to Fourth Of July cele-
bration, or pair of linen pants and
an alpaca coat to Christmas tree
and be perfectly comparable. And
strange as it may seem, anybody
clothes will fit him and look nice on
him. There nothing else like him
under the sun. He sees all things,
hears all things, believes all things,
and has implicit faith in everything
he sees or hears and stands ready at
all times to step aboard of anything
that comes along, from young mule
to flying machine.
"Wireless telegraphy is nothing
new to him; he has used it for ages
every negro's mouth is transmitte1
and every ear a receiver. If anything
of Importance happens on a planta
ton tonight, every negro for fort.
miles around will know it by morn
ing.
