Stewart is soon to enjoy the benefits and advantages of in- increased docking facilities aL- cording to J. P. Forde, B. c. Public Works engineer, who spent several days in the dls- trict last week, Investigating the situation in connection with the contemplated i'm provement. MT. Forde was ac- companied by Capt. Saunders, of the Department of Marine and Fisheries, which will be cincerned in the maintenance and operation of the proposed dock structure.
 According to MT. Forde, the
 
 growth of Stewart shipping during the past year, combin- ed with the outlook for vast ly enlarged freight traffic as a result of the increasing ore shipments, amply justifies the construction of enlarged dock ing accommodations by the government and recommenu- ations to that effect have al- ready been made to the Pub lie Works Board. No definite decision has yet been made as to whether the improvements will take the shape of a new dock or be confined to an ex- tension of the present dock. In the latter case the old dock would be utilized for heavy freight, ore, machinery, etc. while the extension would be employed for passenger and general freight purposes.

B. C. SILVER MAINTAINS
 STEADY ORE OUTPUT

Despite the toughest kind of hauling conditions, resulting from the unprecedentedly soft weather and light snowfall, ore is still coming down from the B. c. Silver at the rate of five or six tons a day. This is only about 50 per cent of the daily average contemplated by the company, which expected to maintain an average of 300 tons a month, but is all that can be handled under present conditions and the Crawford Transfer, holder of the con- tract is doing we'll to maintain even the reduced average. A shipment of 75 tons, the sec ond of the season, left for the ,melter on the last ore steamer few days ago and an addit- ;onal 75 or 80 tons is piled up on the dock.
 Reports from the mine say hat every bit of available storage space in the mine and buildings is packed to the lim- t with sacked ore as 8 result )f the unfortunate transportat-
 on difficulties.

EDWARD BRONSON
 PASSES OVER

Edward Bronson, one of the most widely known old-timers of the district, laid down the tolls and burdens of life and passed to the Great Beyond early Saturday morning. Death came as the continuation of an illness of several weeks but was entirely unexpected as he appeared to be recovering nicely when suddenly overtak- en by the Grim Reaper.
 Alex Halstead, an old time friend of the decedant who was caring for him during hls illness, states that MT. Bronson was confidently expecting It be about again in a day or twv. He had been up and around the cabin a bit and was look ing forward to a visit to rela- tives in the States, for which purpose he had obtained a leave of absence from the Pre- mier Gold Mining Company, by whom he was employed at the ore dock. He retired Fri day night in good spirits but called Mir. Halstead about 2 a. m. Saturday morning and ask ed for a drink of water. He made no mention of feeling worse, however, and MT. Hal stead started to get breakfast, when he noticed that his pat tent was breathing heavily and apparently in a sinking state. MT. Halstead hastily summon ed Mrs. Walter Barron and others to assist the sufferer and hurried to the Premier barn to summon medical aid. Pending the arrival of Dr. Whillans from Stewart those at the bedside did all was poss ible for the dying man, who gradually sank into the last long sleep.
 The deceased was aged about 60 years of age and is surviv- ed by brothers and sisters lii California and Nebraska. In accordance with instructions received from the relatives the remains will be shipped to Ainsworth, Nebraska.

DEVELOPMENT ON
 THE B. C. SILVER


 just now centering on the splendid results attained on the B. c. Silver Mines proper ties during the past year, the following extracts from the re' port of c. A. Banks, directing head of the company operat- ions in this district, gives all interesting insight into the present status of the property. The report was made by MT. Banks at the annual stock holders meeting in Vancouver December 18th.
 Tn order to make the present position clear to any new shareholders who may be present, I will briefly go over the development from the com mencement of operation to the beginning of the period under review, and will then in more detail tell you of what has been accomplished during the financial year.
 In July 1922, a 1000 fit. tun nel was commenced to cross cut the ore zone and in Janu. ary 1928 we cut it at a dis tance of 1050 feet from the portal of the tunnel and at a depth of 300 feet below the surface and at a distance of 20 feet from the Premier bound ary line.
 At this point we encountered an ore body 40 feet wide, which, as a whole, was of mill ing grade, but which also con- tained some high grade ore, 50 tons of which was shipped and realized $11O a ton.
 This ore shoot proved disap pointing to us, for the reason that subsequent development showed that the main part of the shoot was in the next property and we had only the tail end.
 Our friends the British Can. adian Silver Corporation, then decided on an extensive scheme for the prospecting ot the ore zone with a view to To-. eating further ore shoots.
 This prospecting was carried out by advancing the above. mentioned, or No. 3 level, ana also No. 2 level, which was driven 265 feet vertically above No. 3 along the ore zone, and systematically diamond drilling the zone from these levels.
 This work, as I mentioned, at our last Annual Meeting was successful in locating, by drill ing, new silicified area car rying values, at point some 150O feet from the Premier boundary line.
 During the year under re. view, this area was further drilled from both No. 2 anC No. 3 levels, and it was finally attacked by tunneling on No

Gus Bunny, was lying in her little
bed in Mrs. Prentiss' best guest
room, staring wide-eyed at the cell
ing.
She wondered why Cunningham
had taken her gold vanity case, and
whether she would ever get it back.
Restlessly she turned and twisted,
sometimes getting up and sitting by
the window, and again, turning on
the light and trying to read.
At last, as she had returned to
bed. and was about to drop into a
real sleep, there was a light tap on
her door, and she sprang up and
opened it, to see Mrs. Prentiss in
boudoir cap and gown.

''Oh, not to say know her, exactly,

admit if she was going slowly up

You see." Mott said. breaking
the silence that had fallen. Osborn
gave me a tip about Miss Moore. A
pretty serious one. He asked her
string of questions early this
morning, before she had time to
make up anything. Well, he asked
her If she saw the two candles burn
ing at the head and, feet Of Mrs
Heath. And Miss Moore said she
did. Now, you see, when Miss Moore
came downstairs, and went to the
studio to look on the body of Mrs
Heath. for the first time after Car
ter had told her the news, Doctor
Conklin was there, and the two went
in practically at the same time"
"Well?" said Cunningham, as Mott
paused.
well, then the candles had gone
out-burnt out, you know-but they
were out. Now. Miss Moore agreed,
when Osborn referred to her seeing
the candles burning. When did she
see those candles burning?"
Cunningham looked thoughtful.
IF that Emma persons story is
true he said, then Miss Moore was
downstairs, just before one.thirty-"
And went upstairs, with her van
ity ease, at half past one" declared
Mott Having either been. down
and viewed the dead woman-or,
having been. either principal or ac-
cessory to the fact of her death"
He put the case so simply, and in
tone so devoid of real accusation,
that Teddy Buck. at first inclined to
deny vigorously Bunny's possible
connection with the crime, thought
better of that, and said slowly:
You suspect the little girl. then,
Mr., MOTIF
Suspect is too strong a word, Mr..
Buck, But l do think some parts of
her story call for investigation, and
I think she knows more than she
has told"
'She certainly does, If she was
downstairs at half past one o'clock"
Cunningham said, in tense,
strained voice. Yes, the doctors
agree that Mrs. Heath died about
2 o'clock. 1t may be, therefore,
that Miss Moore was down there.

said, that won't do. The DOCTORS
proved that the makeup was put on
Mrs. Heath's face after death. OF
that they are certain, AS to the
time Of death, that Is not an easy
matter to state positively. / have

THAT we can't decide about, until
we question Miss Moore further,
Teddy Buck broke in, his young face
aglow with interest. i've only met
Miss Moore today. You fellows doubt

don't say that have or haven't, but
do think she is a helpless girl with

to take up her cause, and carry on
for her, till l find out the truth of
the affair. To imagine for a mo-
ment, that that baby,faced chit COM
mitted a murder is just too ridicu-
lous! But a lot of hard-boiled detec.
tives may think differently. And
so, unbiased by any prejudice in
Miss Moore's favor, I'm going to do
all 1 can to see that justice is done
her. That's ALL"
You're fortunate in having her

Mott said, little dryly.

The three men separated for the
night, Mott declaring that he meant
to sleep on the matter and To-day,
his young heart full of food for
thought, to toss for hours on a

But AL Cunningham went across
the bridge. and over to the club
house in Harbor Park.
1t was not so much that he felt
it his duty to report at once to his
employers, but he was full of the
subject and hoped to find some one
at the club with whom he could
talk overthings. It~was not late,
from the viewpoint of the,club mem
bers, although many of the Gardens
bungalows were dark as he walked
by.
The walk seemed short, for Cum
ningham had much to think about,
and when he reached the clubhouse,
he found, as he had thought, good
ly number of men playing bridge or
billiards, or sitting in desultory chat
in the smoking lounge.
OF the ones who were really his
employers, Cunningham found Ar

confab.

pretty curious about it over here. -

mo. You do wrong when you
don't tell. Do you know any more?
What did the young lady do next?"
That's all sir. She went up the
stairs and into her own room and
shut the door,
And this was at one o'clock?"
NO. sir, it was half past one."
Your a good witness, Emma.
Half-past one was what you said at

But it was half past one, sir. I
saw by the pantry clock"
Yes" interrupted AL Cunning
ham, land you said at the inquest
that you saw no one when you came
down to let Katie in. You said that
the servants rooms are all in the
back of the house"
Yes, sir" Emma looked dis
tressed. But 1 peeped in the front
part, through the door upstairs, and
I saw Miss Moore. And 1 didn't say
anything about it at tirst-but now,
l thought I'd better"
"Oh, you didr' sadi Cunningham
And whose advice made you feel
that way about it?"
Carriers, SIR
Truly, Emma was ingenious.
"Ah, Carriers. And why does she
want Miss Moore brought into this
thing?"
Il don't know, sir. She just adj
vised me to tell all 1 know"
And you have done SOP"
Eyes, sir, have, but Katie-she
hasn't"
Hello" Mott took up the query
ing, Katie hasn't, eh? Well, do
you know what it is that Katie
hasn't told? Can you tell us as we'll
as Katie could?"
Yes, SIR"
Then go ahead"
why, you see, Katie is engaged
to her young man, Jimmy Lomax.
Well, when they two comes home,
from Katies evening out, they don't
always come right in the house"
mo? What do they do?'
We'll they-they sets in the arbor
and--and spoons-like."
"Oh, see. And you wait till
they're through spooning and then
you let Katie in? You're a loyal
friend, Emma"
Yes, sir"
We'll, go on"
We'll, you see, sir, that night
last night as ever was, sir, when
Katie and Jim was settin' quiet like
in the arbor, he saw a man come out
of the house., leastwise he come off
of the verandah, and he went away"
Went away?"
Yes sir. went down the road and
out of the gate"
"Oh, he did. And who was this
MANI"
Jim, he don't know, sir. You see
he was talllin to Katie, and he iust
sorta noticed the man, unthinkin'
like. He says it mighta been Mr..

II see. Well, that matter will bear

You're sure you saw her coming up
stairs at one-thirty, with this vanity

Yes, sir, I'm sure"
Emma's stolid demeanor went far
to convince her hearers of her sin

deductions might indicate.
After a few more questions, which |
