Old Cassiar
 Placer Camp
 In Limelieht
Several Big Outfits Have Large Tracts of Proven
 Ground in Dease Lake Section

The old Cassiar mining district British Columbia, fifty years ago the scene of placer mining by indi- vidual miners, mostly old time Cali fornia men, has again awakened this time by mining men who are employing, or plan to employ, drag line scraper outfits or hydraulic plants, depending upon the char acter of the ground, says the Alas ka Weekly.
 In the old days, the miners work ed by hand methods, recovering the gold that was easy to get. Machin- cry was not to be thought of in those times Hence, while the old fellows did mighty we'll, the gravels yielding a rich return, the produc- tion in those days could not be com pared with production in these modern days, with the minig equip ment now available.
 This article plans to deal with the Dease Lake district, which in years gone by gave up golden treasure of some $5,000,000. After the first stampede there, the easy money was gotten out, whereupon the campwas practically abandoned. Of course, a few old timers kept on going, until death claimed them, or until the great Klondike discovery won them away to the newer dig gings.
 Thereafter, for a period of some twenty years Warburton Pike, the explorer, and Lord Beauclere got a lease on practically the whole dis trict. Under their cintrol, however, uO ulluIu6 WdS uuuCi IdhCu' HI 1922, the government cancelled the Pike-Beauclere lease, and some of those who had their eye on this district hastened to the scene and took up ground. It is these men that are taking in mining plants and who plan to begin production this season. In every case, said an operator of that district to The Alaska Weekly, exploratory work was done before the plants were or dered. The operating companies know their ground, hence avoiding the possibility of failure, given in tellingent management.
