EARLY WORK ON STEWART RAIL LINE
 IS PROJECTED

That rehabilitation activities will commence at the earliest possible date on the Canadian Northeastern Railway, or Port land Canal Short Line, as it is more commonly known, is the outstanding indication of all late reports from the south re- lating to that project.
 Hon. H. H. Stevens, M. F., who with w. A. Lewthwaite, was chiefly instrumental in bringing the project to it's pres ent status is said by southern newspapers to have announced the complete financing of the proposal in London Orders are also said to have been placed for construction equip ment, including two locomo- tives, cars and other impedi- menta which will be shipped to Stewart in the near future.
 It now appears definitely certain that the present con- struction plans provide for placing the road in operating condition as far as American Creek by the first of Septem- Der.

CATALA WRECK
 DUE TO MIRAGE

A mirage was responsible for the wreck of the Union Line steamship Catala in broad day light on Mist Island, near Port Simpson, according to press re- ports of the findings of the Canadian Investigating board. The board unanimously agreed that the officers in charge of the boat were in no way to blame and paid high compli- ment to Capt. A. A. Dickson and other officers of the ship.
 Seafaring men assert that mirages of the most deceptive character are not uncommon in northern waters and add great ly to the dangers of navigating narrow channels such as exist at so many points along the Alaska coast.

NEW MOUNTAINVIEW
 TUNNEL MAKING
 GOOD PROGRESS

Activities on the Mountain view Gold Mining Company property on Fish Creek are at present devoted principally to extending a new tunnel along the quartz-porphyry zone to intersect a number of valuable veins located in the upper or northeastern sections of the group, a short distance above the main or Skookum Creek tunnel.
 The new tunnel extends in a northeasterly direction from the 1900 foot Skookum Creek tunnel, which recently cross cut the important Grey Cop per vein, near the northern end of the property at depth of 400 feet.
 Among the more important ore deposits which the new tunnel is expected to open at depth are the Marsh vein, from which open cut samples run ming up to $147.8S have been obtained, and the Gold vein, which carries high gold values on the surface, as evidenced by the recovery in one instance of 2 ounces of gold from 40 pounds of rock. A number ot veins of lessor magnitude al- so lie along the quartZ-porphy- ry zone in or near the project ed path of the tunnel.
 Manager Arthur Moa states that very satisfactory progress is being made. The Grey Cop per vein at the head of the Skookum Creek tunnel has q full face of ore of good mill ing grade and has shown up in excellent manner as far as penetrated.

FAIRBANKS QUARTZ
 MINE LOOKS GOOD

Sufficient ore has been block ed out in the mine of the Elmes Gold Mining Company, in the Fairbanks district, to keep the company's mill working all next summer, according to Bly, ron c. Elmes, president. Mill ing operations have been clos ed down for the winter, Mir. Elmes reports, and a contract has been let to complete the mine tunnel. The only work to be done by the company will be the installation of five additional stamps, which will give the mill a battery of ten stamps when milling operat- ions are resumed on March l next. The mill will operate day and night during the sum- mer on the ore which has been blocked out, and carries good values.

PRICES FOR
 SILVER-LEAD ORES.

The present lead ore schedule
 of the Trail smelter is given by
 the Western Canada Mining
 News as follows:
 "Pay for 959o of the gold in the ore at $20 per ounce if 0.03 ounces or over. No payment is
 made when gold less than 0.03
 ounces.
 Pay for 95f of the silver in the ore at New York quotat- ions converted into Canadian funds. In no case will the de- duction be less than 1s ounce silver.
 Pay for 921a @ of lead in the
 ore as determined by dry as- say. The dry assay is arrived at
 by deducting IA units from the result of the wet assay. The price paid for lead is that of the London Metal Exchange for soft Spanish lead, convert ed into Canadian funds, less
 IA cents per pound for refin- ing and marketing.
 A penalty of 20 cts. is placed 
 on each 1 % of zinc contained
 in the ore when shipped as q lead ore.
 Assuming the following val
 ues for metals; gold, $20 per ounce; silver, 58 cents per
 ounce; lead $6.5O per 100 pounds; zinc $5.80 per 100
 pounds, New York quotations, (London quotations for lead s22.0.0; zinc, 926.7.6.) a ton
 of ore showing assay returns
 of gold, O.02 oz. silver, 60 oz.;
 lead 60Go ; zinc, 8fo, would be
 worth S122.48 per ton gross
 value. Under the Trail sched-
 ule the ore would bring to the
 shipper returns amounting to
 no more than SPOTS, as fol-
 lows:
 Gold, O.O2 OF. 5000 (being less than the 0.03 OF. mini mum.) silver, 95fc of 60 oz.- 57 oz.-at 58 cents, S33.06; lead, 6O%6, or 1900 pounds,
 less 712 e, leaving 1100fbs $ at G22.0.0 per ton (of 2240fbs.)
 converted into Canadian funds
 at S4.85, less IA cents fol each pound of lead, making 9o.0I per pound, or a COtal oI $39.27 for the lead and a gross value of $72.33 for all metal values.
 From this total the smelter deducts zinc 8% or 160 pounds
 which is penalized at 20 cts. for each 1fo, or $1.60, there by reducing to S70.73 the amount actually realized from the ore by the shipper. This represents a difference
 of $51.75 between the value of the ore as shown by assay re- turns and the actual amount
 the shipper would receive.

COL. RICHARDSON
 FAVORS GIVING SKACWAY TO CANADA


 The Canadian proposal to trade the town of Skagway to Canada has found new and decidedly prominent supporter in the person of Colonel Wilds P. Richardson, first president of the Alaska Road Commits sion.
 In a recent communication to the Saturday Evening Post, Col. Dick" as he is affection ately known to thousands of Alaskans, endorsed the pro- posal as follows:
 "To the Editor of the Post Sir: l read with interest your editor ial in The Post of October 10, entitled, "A Swap With Can ada,' the reference being in connection with the town of Skagway, at the head of Lynn Canal, with the suggestion of some plan by which the town might be 'internationalized' or an exchange of territory be made with Canada.
 "The subject has often been discussed between persons ac- quainted with the situation, but the time never seemed op. perfume for favorable action. During the period when the boundary line was in contro- versy, and for several years thereafter sentiment against any concession was strong; al- so, Skagway during those years was a flourishing town. ''Wiah the passing of the days of high prosperity and with a dwindling population the senti- ment has changed. The resi- dents of Skagway, it is thought, would favor such 9 transfer. The town would take on new life and if they preferred not to remain under Canadian con- trol their property could be more readily disposed of. !"
 "The stimulus thus given to development would be an indi- rect benefit to the surround ing country. Skagway is of so little value to the United States, except as a bar against Canadian development of its upper Yukon territory, that it would be a graceful act to transfer it outright or under an indefinite lease subject to cancellation in the event of war Gan unthinkable contin- gency) or an exchange of ter ritory might be made as sug- gested, to the mutual advan- tage of both countries. Some thing of the kind ought to be done"

 Colonel, U. s. A., Retired"

DEMONSTRATIONS
Anthracite Committee
Supports Bonita
BY GEORGE PAPCUN.

WILKES-BARRE, Pa, Feb. %. =
The Save the Union Committee OF
the United Mine Workers is arrang-
ing a series of mass meetings thruout
the anthracite field to demonstrate
against the frame-up which the
Lewis-C Cappelini-Kennedy machine is
at the present time organizing
against Sam Bonita and his two
brother trade unionists, who had and
still have the courage to fight against
the machines corruption.
Meetings Are Scheduled.
The first meeting will be held at
Luzerne Thursday at Z p. M, at the
italian Hall, 2O6 Oliver st. The sec
ond will be held at Pittston, the heart
of the present struggle, March A, at 2
D. M, at the Armory Hall.
Reinstatement Forced.
Once expelled, the miners forced
the machine to reinstate him in the
Miners Union. Powers Hapgood also
will speak. He is nationally known
as a militant leader of the miners.
George Papcun, secretary of the Save
the Union Committee, also will speak.
With the general attack on the
Miners Union, one of the tactics the
coal operators are using is to try to
weaken the Miners Union on all sides
They are succeeding more or less
as the reactionary officialdom, led by

Traction workers on the lines O.
Greater New York are forming thei-
own shop committees and othei
groups in defense against whatever
move they may be forced to make in

Open challenge by the Interborough
Rapid ~Transit Company has been
thrown down to them in the name of
the company union which for over ten
years has been enslaving them.

stance. "Even if there is to be a
strike, it must be one which l con-

These were not his exact words, but
his meaning could not be expressed
more accurately.
Go to the BrotherhOodw
In letter to Mayor Walker, whose
part in the situation has been to pre-
vent real action to protect the work
ers, Hedley invites the mayor to go
to-the Brotherhood. "The Brother
hood officers request that they have
a meeting with you, so that their side
of the matter may be presented to
you. In case you care to arrange such
a meeting your office will find the
Brotherhood officers at their head
quarters, 162nd st. and Anderson

to call upon you at your convenience. !"
Earlier in the day, Patrick j. Con-
molly, president of the company union,
had issued statement that the COM
pany union would itself call strike
if the nineteen discharged men of
the Amalgamated Traction Union
