Mrs. Cyril Jackson, widely known and highly esteemed resident of Stewart, passed away in the Stewart Hospital Tuesday afternoon, following a short illness. The deceased lady is survived by her hus- band and two sisters, Mrs Wm. Jancowski and Mrs. Harry Scovil, all of whom are resi- dents of Stewart, and her mother and father, who reside in Victoria.

Wm. Sloan, manager of the
 Daly Alaska is under the care
 of Dr. McNeill in Vancouver
 as a result of a threatened de-
 rangement of the heart funct-
 ions, according to advices re-
 ceived by friends on the last
 boat from the south. It is said that his condition is not serious, although he will be under the necessity of taking a rest for a month or so to effect complete recovery from the indisposit- ion, which is largely the result of overwork. MT. Sloan has devoted himself most assid- uously to the task of opening up the Daly Alaska during the past year and has apparent ly overtaxed himself in his eagerness to place the mine on Q producing basis. Shortly be- fore leaving for the south last week he was overcome by what appeared to be an attack of heart weakness. Dr. McNeilI says, however, that there is wrong with his heart and a good rest will restore him to good health and vigor.

WORK TO START ON
 BUSH PROPERTIES

A crew of men is at work shoveling snow and preparing the camps on the Bush group, north of the B. c. Silver, in an- ticipation of an early renewal of activities on those we'll known properties. Instructions to commence the present activ- ities were received by Fred R. Jancowski, of Stewart, in a telegram from O. B. Bush, which, however. gave no de- tails of the future contemplat- ions.
 The properties are now under the control of the National Sil- yer Mines, Limited.
 O. B. Bush, whose connect ion with the Premier and B. C.. Silver has made his name a household word in mining cir cles, was recently in London, where the possibilities of his Bush group have attracted wide attention among British mining investors, owing largely to it's proximity to the B. c. Silver. The recent drill strike on the latter property has greatly stimulated the inter- est of British capital, not only in the B. c. Silver but in all the surrounding properties as well, and it appears probable that the financing of the Bush is an outgrowth of this inter- est. The company is capitalized value,. An announcement by at $3,000,000, with the -cap- ital stock divided into an equal number of shares of one dollar par value. a limited amount of which has been placed on the market to finance the Bush operations. It is understood that the plans for the immed- fate future include consider able diamond drilling.
 The group comprises a total of twenty four claims and is believed to lie along the north erly extension of the Premier ore zone, which the recent dis covery on the B. c. Silver in- dicates runs drought the lat ter property in the direction on the Bush. There are a num- Der of large outcrops on the property which extend along the ore zone for an approx innate distance of 1000 feet but very little development work has been done on them up to the present and their po- tentialities are little known.

The Hard Times dance gwen
 by the Moose lodge in the Stewart Hotel Friday evening drew a good sized crowd and, in addition to being a most en- joyable social event, -netted a substantial sum for the Moose heart Endowment Fund and the annual Christmas Tree fund. In keeping with the hard times spirit, practically every one came in their "old clothes" and those who showed up in boiled shirts" and furbelow5 were summarily fined by tEe reception officials. Several sled loads of local people made the trip to Stewart and a number came down from the Riverside to have a hand in the fun. Mus ic was provided by the Ridley orchestra and a tasty luncheon was among the enjoyable feat ures of the occasion. The net receipts ranged around S30, which will be divided equally between the Endowment and Christmas tree funds.
 The big freighter Mogul ar rived in port Friday to take on a load of Premier ere for the Tacoma smelter.

RAILROAD LINE
 FROM STEWART
 IS DISCUSSED

The railroad situation has as- sOmed an entirely new aspect during the past week as a re- suit of a press announcement ] disclosing that a project is be- ing discussed to build a rail- road out of Stewart to the east. Details of he proposal are con- tained in the following, re- printed from the Vancouver Province of July 14th:
 Efforts are being made in New York to secure financial backing for building a railway out of Stewart in the Portland Canal District. The British Col umbia Chamber of Mines has been informed by the Nesting house Electric and Manufact- uring Company, of New York, that the project is now being discussed in financial circles in New York. The company has asked the Chamber to send complete details of the dist rict.
 Whether it is proposed to con- tinue the project of the Sir Donald Mann interests into the Groundhog country or whether the proposal is to build from Stewart up the Salmon River is not clear from the New York correspondence. In either case the mining men who have heard of the project are very much interested. The fact that the matter is receiving consid- eration of eastern capitalists is evidence at the Chamber of Mines that financial circles are impressed with the mineral possibilities in the Portland Canal district"
 The foregoing is given added interest by the fact that re- reports to the effect that A. D. Frumento, of Victoria, has been negotiating for bond on the short railroad line run ming north from Stewart to the upper reaches of Bear River valley are in local circulation.
 One report has it that Mr. Frumento has secured an option on the line, which was constructed years ago by Sir. Donald Mann in connection with the Groundhog proposal metioned in the above dis patch. The reports, however, could not be traced to a defi- mite source, although it is reli- ably stated that certain local interests are seriously consid- ering a move in the same di- rection in the event that he eX- pected decision of the Canad- ian railroad heads regarding the Peace River route is not favorable to the Stewart-Hy- der extension proposal.
 Nothing further has been forthcoming regarding the lat ter proposal.
 Up to February 16th, the Canadian railway ministry had not received the expected re- port of the railway heads re- specting their proposals relat~ i've to the Peace River route, according to an Ottawa dis patch quoting Hon. George F. Graham, minister of railways, as follows:

Dear Aunt Madge:

Dear Aunt Madge:
without doubt all NJ. BIS are busy
all bees are busy at this season, for
they have to make honey while the
flowers last We have no flowers when
the snow flies; neither do we have
Strawberries green peas, nor picnics,
so we are busy storing up for the win
ter table and for winter memories,
the goodies now obtainable.
But one of the good things not to be
neglected is the NJ. b. c., and so l take
my pen i'm hand to help aunt Madge'
with the filling of the column, and not
because l have anything worth say
ing.
Jennie" called up and wanted to
know what l was going to do about it,
because my name appeared with others
as a special committee in last weeks
paper. The L. S. NJ brought me word
that 1 was asked to serve on that COM
mittee one fine morning, just as plans
were being completed for a trip to
Bluehill, SO after delightful picnic
affair, the five of us called on our chief
NJ. B.. and we talked--yes, we talked
as hard and fast as we could've SIX
NJ BIS and another who had twice re-
uned with us. Then, after | arrived
home, | wrote my little say 20 the
chairman, and probably before this is
printed the report will be given-time
and place decided. Then we will hope
for one of the best of days and that
everybody can come. Start before
breakfast if you have to, but l
would advice that you take your own
coffee cup and plenty of lunch, for
we will not have Aunt Madge's cup
board or milk room to fan back upon
this year
You see, I am limiting that We need
to carry our dishes, and that while
Aunt Madge offered to furnish the
coffee as usual, others must supply
what goes with it, for while some
like black coffee, | notice most NJ. b. s
take cream and sugar. Some may ask
why we are looking for a picnic
ground this year, so VIII say that
"Uncle Madge" is not quite well, and
often in bed, so we should not invade
I ''Mountain View" as we have done for
! so many happy years, yet we hope to
be near enough for Aunt Madge" to
meet with us.
We hope Little A" won't have to
! go out door and look into the sky for
| consolation this time, but that she may
| add bodily presence to the occasion
| and that she may be accompanied by
| her "concocter," which may not be a
| pretty name, but fits the person ii
mind as far as ability goes. Aunt
| Maria may see fit to change the name
should she become one of us, and
don't know why she never has; for she
| can Concoct a letter with as much
deXterity as she can coneoct a dress
from second-hands or left-overs.
| But Little A" is not the only person
possessing broadcloth dress made
! from a coat, for ] have a very credita-
| BILE concOction called a dress, from
the other side" as the girl said who
did not like to own her dress had
