NEW MAP OF CASSIAR IS
 OFF PRESS
Was Prepared by Wrangell Com mercial Club and Is Designed to Be of Especial Benefit to Those Interested in the -Dease Lake Country Where the Gold Discov- cry Was Made Last September.

The Wrangell Commercial Club has had an excellent map of the Cassiar prepared which is just of the press.
 The map is 17x19 inches and is designed to be of especial benefit to those interested in the Eagle Creek district where the gold discovery was made last September.
 All the various cabins along the Stikine River between Wrangell and Telegraph Creek are shown. This together with other special features enable the prospective winter trav- eller on the Stikine to learn from this map just what he wants to know.
 Those who desire to go into the Cassiar before the opening of navi- gation early in May will find little difficulty in making the trip over the ice up the Stikine.
 Leaving Wrangell one may go by gasboat that is always available to the Garnet Ledge or Cottonwood Island for the nominal charge of $500. From there it. is half days breaking to the Government cabin. Continuing, one reaches the new shelter cabin which was recently erected by the Wrangell Conner cial Club near Shakes place. The next stopping place is at the Boun- dary where the Canadian Custom House is located. Continuing the traveller finds shelter cabins at convenient distances and which are designated as Cabin No. l. Fowlers cabin, .Hoffman's cabin, Watlar's cabin, Hoffman's cabin No. 2, rJulian's place. Indian cabin. Capt. Conover's place. There are numerous cabins at the old aban- doned town of Glenora five miles from Telegraph Creek. This com pletes a chain of stopping places that afford ample accommodations for travel by dog team. After one gets through the canyon he finds himself in the dry belt where good going hard trails are always found during the winter.
 Owing to the fact that the Con- -mercial Club has gone to consider able expense to produce just the kind of map of the Cassiar as was needed, the advertising committee has decided to make a nominal charge of 25 cents for each map.

Nellie CaSlnlan
 Goes on Her
 Last Stampede
Remarkable Woman Pioneer of Many Mining Camps Reaches Last Roadhouse on Life'S Trail.

The news that Nellie Cashman died in a Victoria hospital few days ago will be received with sad ness by every oldtimer in Alaska and by many more who were in the North during the earlier days.
 The mining lure possessed Nellie Cashman half a century or more ago, her first experience being in the silver camps of Arizona in the late '70's when she was a young woman. Ten years later found her in the Cassiar and Old Caribou dis tricts and a second ten years found her in the Klondike, and during the past 27 or 2S years there has not been discovery in the North, Alaska or Yukon, but has number ed her among it's earliest stamped CTS. As Service says, twas not the gold but the excitement of finding it, that lured Nellie Cashman, and in every camp she ever visited she was a veritable angel of mercy. nursing the sick, sleeping spruce boughs for those afflicted with scurvy, and diffusing sunshine wherever she, happened to be.
 In the early Dawson days when beans constituted the principal diet, it was Nellie Cashman who, when she heard of sick miner whom the very mention of beans would nauseate, would go. to the managers of the big stores and browbeat them into giving her ,at. These store managers invari- ably surrendered when they saw Nellie coming-or if they held out for awhile their surrender was all the more unconditional after she had told them few things.
 Nellie Cashman was an experi- enced dog driver and, in the ab- sence of dogs, she could shoulder pack and keep step with the most hardy Nova Scotia Scotch. Quebec French or Montana Yankee that ever went on a stampede and when they camped to eat on the trail it was Nellie who prepared the meal while they rested. AS is charac- teristic of the mining game, she made and lost much money, but her faith was never dimmed and when she reached the end of the trail and rested in the final road house she had all arrangements made to return North in the spring and develop a group of placer claims she owned far up the Koyu- kuk river-a region that, while it has been worked for more than a quarter of a century, never saw to exceed a half dozen white women, it being one of the most inaccessi- ble camps ever discovered in the North.
 The story has been told before, but now that Nellie Cashman has gone to her reward-s reward richly deserved-it is worth telling It was in 1902 that gold was dis covered in the Nuahne district 200 miles northwest of White horse. Nellie Cashman was in Dawson when news of the discov- cry came and she lost no time in getting away for the scene of the excitement. There were no trails and the going was very hard. A l trapper at Stony Creek had turned his cabin into ,roadhouse immedi- ately on receipt of the news. as well he knew that many stamped CTS would be that way very soon. The fellow had started the winter with a fairly good supply of flour

Gold was produced in 1924 to the value of s4,965,OO0, an in- crease of ss4o,o06 over the 1923 figures. The production this year will run to 24O,5Oo ounces, as against 1ss.565 ounces last year. A comparatively small part of this was placer gold, which class or mining was responsible for only 20,500 ounces, or practically the same as 1923. The greater pro- portion of the increase in gold out put may be put down to the Port land Canal Mining Division. This section of the Province and ad1a- cent mineral zones produced 175'' 900 ounces, or an increase of ap' proximately 12 per cent. The re- suits of steps being taken for the exploitation of the placer fields oi the Caribou and of the Cassial have not yet been felt. Those II touch with developments Of tn' past year are confident that botf placer and lode gold production will show a marked increase II 1925. Portland Canal News.

Mineral Production 1924 in B.C.
 Breaks All Previous Records

The monetary value of the min eral output of British Columbia for the year 1924 is estimated to be s45,116,2S5, according to an announcement made by the Hon. William Sloan, Minister of Mines. This is an increase over 1923 fig ures of s3,S11,965, or approxi- matly 9.2 per cent.
 The increase in the production of the metalliferous mines of the Province is one of the most strik- ing fatures of mining activities during the past year. The metal mines have made a production val ued at s32,310,600, as compared with $25.767,062 in the previous year. Thus the actual advance is s6,543,53S. or 25.3 per cent.
 The value of this years produc- tion as estimated is far ahead Of any year of which there is record.
