Much Activity in the
 CaSSiar This Season
Region Once Famous for Its Handsome Returns to Hand Operators Now Attracting Attention of Mining World on Account of It's
 HydrauIcking Operations

lare installing a hydraulic plant on Bryan lease on Dease Creek.
 The Dease Creek Mines Company Lave staked seven leases all of which lave been granted by the govern Iment, and a ditch is now being sur yeyed from Little Dease Lake to the property preparatory to installing s hydraulic plant.
 Among the we'll known pioneer mining men whose names appeared on the passenger lists for the first voyage were Red Crawford, Bate Brothers, Kennedy and Wriggles- worth.
 Another party of five who arrived here from California on the Alaska Monday, and who will leave for the Cassiar next week are c. R. Coyne and L. Groeneveld of Los Angeles, and John Jacobsen, A. F. Brown, and Max Crone of Eureka.
 Although the season is early sever al tourists were booked for Tele- graph Creek J. M. Cannon, law yer of Spokane, and F. M. Chastek. the blue fox magnate, happened th be stopping at the Wrangell hotel the first of the week, and became so interested by the talk of the oldtim- CTS who were going back into the Cassiar that they decided to make the round trip to Telegraph Cree,. ard get a glimpse of the country mp the Stikine.
 Mining men familiar with the re- sources of the Cassiar say the pres t tivity is but a small beginl; e and predict a most favorable future for those interested. Thousands of square miles are still untouched, and with the favorable climate and abundance of game and fish, pros pectors of both large and small means would do well to consider a
 rip into the Cassiar
 In the past one of the greatest drawbacks to the Cassiar has been lack of transportation facilities. but tie Canadian government is liberal and the completion last season of an excellent wagon road from Telegraph Greek to Dease Lake, a distance of 72 miles, will mean more for the de- velopment of that region than any
 hing else that has yet been done.
 The wonderful hydraulicking pos
 Utilities of the Cassiar are empha-

 water is available.
 All indications are that the Cassi- ar is beginning to come into her own land will very shortly establish her lself in a comfortable position in the mining world.
 The March issue of the Canadian Mining Journal, published at Gar ldenvale, Quebec, contains an excel- lent article on "The Cassiar Cold field" by H. G. Nichols. a mining en- lgineer of international reputation. Within the past 34 years MT Nichols has been in the service of some of the most notable mining companies in the world. For some years he was resident examining engineer in Rus. sian Siberia for the Anglo-Siberian iCo., Ltd. and Russo-Asiatic Corpora : ltion. He has also been in the service lof the Standard Consolidated Mining Company. California; New Morgan Gold Mines, Wales; Mananil Mining Company. Mexico: Sgeba Gold Mines Ltd, South Africa: Transito Gold Mining Company, Honduras. It will therefore be seen that this eminent engineer has spent the best years of his life in the service of

The opening of navigation on the Stikine river this week was marked by heavy shipments of mining equip ment and supplies, and passenger list which included number of well known mining men. The increasing interest shown in the Dease Lake region and other sections beyond Telegraph Creek is an unmistakable forecast of considerable mining ac- tivity in the Cassiar the coming sea son.
 The Hazel B Mo- and Hazel B No. 4-the first two boats to go up the Stikine this season-left here Monday afternoon with a capacity cargo and full passenger lists. One boat was pushing scow on which were eleven head of horses for the pay SOLupdus n ioi i, quantity of freight including con- siderable mining equipment was left in the bonded warehouse and will be taken in on subsequent trips.
 The steamer Alaska was in port when the two river boats started out for the mouth of the Stikine, and the watched with intense interest the picturesque sight of the two river boats speeding away with their decks crowded with adventurous pioneers headed for the old Cassiar, once fla nous for it's handsome returns to hand operators. But none of those who left this week expect to obtain any wealth through pick and shovel methods. The vast fortunes that will be made in the Cassiar of the future will be by hydraulicking, dredging. and lode mining.
 The Harrington Transportation Company who own the boats operat- ing on the Stikine have reservations for a large number of passengers going up the river within the next 30 days besides all the freight that two boats can handle.
 John J. Williams of Seattle, ac- companied by Arthus Theis. J. ". Redmond, Leary Barkley and Peter Blue, were among the first voyage passengers. These men are en route to McDames Creek to join the force of the Pendleton Gold Mining Com pany. Mir. Williams, who heads this party is taking in another caterpil- lar, complete acetylene welding plant, and a years supply of com missary. Last season this company took in a Fordson tractor. Best cat erpillar. two lotion trailers, 2 ton wagon, drag line scraper, three en- zines, 5500-pound boiler, and large stock of tools for both machine and woodwork.
 R. H. Dickinson. Jr., was another first voyage passenger. He is mana ger of the Dickinson Mining Com pany which has taken over the Craig-Ross holdings and which now has 400 acres under lease on Dease Creek. This Company has a sawmill. tractors. and considerable equipment already on the ground, and this sea- son is taking in additional equip ment which includes stock line ex- cavator having one yard capacity. and of of a type which is said to he the last word in excavatorial equip ment.
 A complete hydraulic outfit will be taken into the Cassiar this season by Henry Cole to develop the old Mo Crimmon lease. on Upper Channel Dease Creek, and also the An Yak lease which adjoins the McCrimmon lease, and which years ago was suc- cessfully operated by a Chinaman
