THEY HAVE FAITH.
(From The Alaska Weekly)

The people of the Portland Canal mining district, partly in British Columbia and partly in Alaska, show commendable faith in their district by the To- cal financing of a mining prop erty there. Reference is made to the Marmot Engineer Mine Syndicate, which owns a group of claims in the Marmot River section of the camp.
 It appears that a prospector named George Bunn located what he called the Engineer group and immediately began the development of the prop erty. The showing on the prop erty was good and the limited development work done by Bunn added to the possibilities of the prospect. Bum needed funds beyond his ability to per sonally supply, so as to "carry on," and aided by friends or. ganized the Marmot Mine Syndicate on the unit basis. The directors decided to sell 2,100 units at $1O per unit. Ev. cry unit of the allotment was sold in the Portland Canal camp within twenty-one days from the time the units were thrown on the market and the treasury of the Syndicate now has the tidy sum of $21,OOO with which to carry on further development work. Not a unit was offered for sale outside o1 the district. It was not neces- sary. The people know Bum and had confidence in his in tegrity and his judgment. Al on of the unit holders stated to The Alaska Weekly, "We expect to make nice piece ot money out of our investment.
 The Porter-Idaho Mines Syn. dicate, in the same district was, at the inception, almos entirely financed among tho people of Hyder and Stewart and all those who took chance on this property have had no reason to regret theil action, for this property is now a mine.
