SEBAKWE STRIKE
 LOOMS LARGE

The big ore deposit found re- gently on the new fifth level at the Sebakwe property is showing up we'll under explor- ation and presents every indi- cation of developing an im- mense tonnage of commercial ore, according to reliable in- formation from the upper Sal mon this week.
 The tunned is said to have penetrated the ore zone a dis tance of 100 feet up to the end of last week. A cross cut run at that point disclosed 10 feet of ore, which is reported to be the best so far encountered ir the matter of values. Samples from the cross cut are said to be fine looking ore and show strong naturalization.
 Present indications are that the ore body will be found to extend about 100 feet beyond the last cross cut, where the ore zone is believed to be in tersected by a cross dike, pre- viously located on the fourth level, 150 feet above. Should this prove to be the case, tho deposit will have an approxi mate length of 200 feet and 8 width ranging up to 25 feet ol so in the wider portions.
 As indicated in an earlier re port of the strike, the apex o1 the ore is believed to be locat ed some 60 odd feet above tho fourth level, in which event tho zone would have a depth O. about 200 feet down to tn, fifth level, with prospects O; equal or greater depth below the latter level.

WINTER WORK ON
 MINING PROPERTIES

winter WOrk on the SllVer Tip property in the upper Sal
 mon section is in full swing
 with a small crew employed. A tunnel is being driven under contract to explore an ore zone which displays some un- usually fine surface exposures.
 Work on the upper Bear Riv- CT properties of the Terminus Mines company will be con- tinued throughout the winter, With smal. crew employed. Driving of a cross cut from the e00-foot main tunnel to cut the No. ? vein at depth will constitute the projected devel- opment program.
 A 600-foot tunnel is being driven on the Indepenl. nee under the direction of s. P. Fitzgerald, president of the Independence Company, who is conducting winter activities for the Revenue Mining Go. The contract underway em- braces the extension of No. 2 tunnel from 300 feet until it cuts the downward extensions of a fine vein carrying native silver encountered in a tunnel some distance above. The tun- nel is expected to strike the vein within 500 feet, or about 800 feet from the portal, cutting other important ore shoots enroute.
 Winter work is proceeding on the Mayou property in the Bit ter Creek section, on which ore of exceptional value has been developed. Work is di- rected to drifting on the No. l vein, from which silver assays in excess of 400 ounces have been obtained, in addition to large lead values.
 Probable important develop ments on the Marmot Gold property on Marmot River are attracting much interest in mining circles. Both tunnels are now in close proximity to the promising gold bearing leads found on the surface and interesting news from the prop erty may be forthcoming any hour.
 No. 1 tunnel at last reports was in over 400 feet and pene- trating we'll mineralized ma terial, although of a type dis tinct from the vein matter. The other tunnel was also near it's objective at about 200 feet from the portal.
 Winter crews are at work on the Porter Idaho and Prosperi- ty properties of the Premier company in the Marmot sect ion. A few men are reported installing machinery at the Premier main camp at the of Marmot River.

C. N. R. JOINS C. P. R.
 IN PEACE R. R. PURCHASE

HG SdCC hIVCI EA11TO6Q Out- look has been given a new turn by the announcement from Montreal that the Canadian National Railway will join with the Canadian Pacific in the purchase and joint operat- ion of the Edmonton and Dun- vegan Railway in Northern AL berta.
 The decision of the c. N. k. to join in the purchase of the Alberta line is the outcome of an agreement made by the Al berta government and c. P. R., when the latter company pur- chased the Edmonton and Dun- yegan last summer, that the c. N. R. should have the right to participate in the purchase 1n equal terms.
 Local interest in the deal bears largely on it's ultimate effect with respect to the pro- posed Stewart-Peace River ,'ailway line, with Stewart and Hyder as its western terminus. With the c. P. R. the dominant figure in Peace River traffic 70 the west, prospects for the extension of it's Peace connect ,ons to this port appeared a practically certain eventllality If the future. To obtain the greatest results from Peace River traffic, and particularly he great grain output, the ;. P. R. must have an outlet o the Pacific. As the Stewart 'oute would provide not only he shortest outlet from the Peace, but also presents over Nhelming advantages with re- ipect to construction and sub- ,equent operative costs, it's se- ection by that road as a coast criminal would appear almost l certainty. But the entry of he c. N. R. as a partner of the Canadian Pacific in the Peace River traffic may effect a con- siderable alteration in that pleasing prospect. Not only is he c. N. R. the possessor of established coast terminals but :an be connected up with the Edmonton, Dunvegan and Brit sh Columbia by routes consid- ,rably shorter than the Peace O stewart route. Sucn a con- lection would undoubtedly re- jult in the diversion of Peace River shipping to Vancouver md Prince Rupert over the ,. N. R. The Pacific Great Eastern, the famous white elephant" of the Canadian rail- oad system, may also become n important factor in the ulti- ,iate working out of the Peace outlet question as a result of he c. N. R.'s decision.

Striking evidence that this is the region where eagles are far more abundant is borne out bys the following statement given to me by Mr. Thiel, showing the num- bers of pairs of eagles feet sent in for bounty from the different Divi- sions during the years since the boun- ty has been in force.

Conclusions

From what have been able to learn in Alaska by observation and in talking with many people, and from what experience has taught me while making investigations on the ground, where through many years there have been outbursts of public opinion against some bird, I venture to offer the following conclusions.
 l. Few people outside of Alaska and British Columbia have ever ima- gined that Bald eagles were any place as abundant as they have been, or even exist today, in that Territory.
 2. Although eagles are to an ex- tent scavengers, they are essentially birds-of-prey, and do catch healthy fish as well as the dead and dying ones in the salmon streams They also capture, at times, the young of game animals as we'll as fur-bearers, sea-birds and, doubtless, game birds.
 g. The damage to mans interest brought about by their feeding habits lis undoubtedly overestimated in the minds of many people.
 4. That there is a growing feeling in Alaska that eagles have been so re- duced in numbers that those remain ing today do not constitute a source of any very great damage, and the Territory might we'll save the expense of paying further bounties.
 5. In extended regions of the Alas kan coast, the Bald eagle has been greatly reduced in numbers as a re- suit of the bounty system, but as a species it can not be considered as be- ing in any immediate danger of ex- termination.
 6. A more charitable feeling toward the eagle in Alaska could probably be brought about by an extended cam pagn of education about bird-life in general. It was by such educational work that the people of Virginia some

Eagles Actually Seen

Although many people reported that eagles were often seen in great num-
 bers I did not witness such a gather ing of the birds Perhaps this was
 because I was not fortunate in visit ing localities attractive to them at a time when there was a run of salmon, candle-fish, herring, or other fish of which theey are fond. I also journeyed up the Chillcat River, where I was told a hundred or more eagles would often be seen in a short time. There was at that time no special run of fish, which may account for the fact that on this 15-mile trip only 5 Bald ea- gles were seen..
 As the guest of the Alaska Game Commission, I had the use for a few days of one of it's patrol boats, travel ing up the Lynn Canal from Juneau to Haines, distance of S8 miles. Here counted 37 eagles. These were us ually sitting in evergreen trees on the mountain slopes a short distance back from the water They could readily be discovered by their gleaming white heads and necks. Only one in the i'm mature plumage was found, and it probably would not have been noticed if it had been sitting in the trees as the waterway is so wide that it is i'm possible to discover the birds except by keeping close to one of the shores. The above count must not be taken as conclusive as covering all eagles along this route at that date. Never were we close enough to both shores at one time to see perching eagles. Possibly we passed hundred unob- served. Tn any event there are still many eagles along the southern coast of Alaska
