CANADIANS EXEMPT
 DEPORTATION DRIVE

A recent announcement by the commissioner general of immigration said that there will be no wholesale deportat- ion of Canadians illegally resi- dent in the United States, when the new deportation statutes become effective next July.
 Instead a vigorous drive will be launched against aliens from other countries "who slipped into the United States illegally over the Canadian border"
 At the same time the commits sioner advised Canadians not legally residenced in the Uni ed States to return to Canada at once and come over to the United States again immedi- ately under the non-quota visa, to avoid discontinue.

TEXAS HIGHWAY
 CONSTRUCTION IS
 AGAIN UNDER WAY

Work on the second section of the projected government road to the head of Texas Creek was resumed Thursday, fol- lowing the arrival Wednesday of Curtis Gardner, of the John- son-Gardner Company, of Port land, with a crew of station men and laborers. Mir. Gardner arrived on the Fairbanks and his men were divided between the motorships Norco and Fair banks.
 Activities were launched with the dispatch of a small crew to the road camp near the Texas bridge to place it in shape for the coming construct ion operations, which will em- ploy, according to MT. Gard ner, about 65 men during the summer. These will be divid- ed into about fifty stationmen and a dozen or so laborers and other workers. Fourteen of the former arrived with MT. Gard ner and will be followed by others as the work progresses. Work will be carried on from two camps, the old one, locat- ed on the north fork of Texas, and a new camp to be estab- lished in the vicinity of Ibex creek on the west fork and a mile or so from the point where the Johnson-Gardner contract terminates.

HIGH VALUES FOUND IN WOODB|NE MINEI
 OUTLOOK GOOD

Ore of exceptionally high grade character has been locat- ed in the Woodbine mine dur ing recent days, according to an announcement in Vancouv- CT by company directors. The announcement is said to have been based on a telegram from Malcolm Mackenzie, mine SUD- erintendent,, in which he re- ported that three big samples taken by blasting from a 15- foot space in the roof of the main drift gave returns up to $385 per ton. One sample yielded returns of $336.80 in gold, the reports say, with ad- ditional values totaling over $49. Another showed $115, with $76.80 gold and a third $302, with $271.2O in gold
 Careful inspection is said to have disclosed the presence of a big body of ore for 100 feet at the point.
 The reports say it is under stood that the provincial gov ernment will be asked to verify the discoveries made.
 A small quantity of ore was shipped to the Trail smelter re- gently and it is said that the board of directors plan to raise $50,000 to continue pro- duction in an effort to ascer- tain the true value of the prop erty.

The Gold Chord mine in the Willow Creek district is pro- ducing some very rich ore at the present time, according to recent reports from the prop erty. Operations were sus- pended at the mine last fall after several shipments of ore had been sent to the States for smelling, but activities were resumed several weeks ago, with very gratifying results. Samples of the ore brought to Anchorage carried very high values, the rock being heavily impregnated with gold, visible to the naked eye.

latter level had entered 40 feet into the ore zone, which is sil- icified, well mineralized and apparently over 40 feet in width at this place."
 Values proved low, however, but, more. work in south westerly direction will almost certainly find commercial val ues." The shaft was later deepened a further 100 feet to permit the opening of No. 2 level, 100 feet below No. 6. The latter work was slow, ow- ing to considerable water; 2 sinking pumps, working 24 hours per day being required to handle the flow. Drifting and crosscutting during the year totaled 1,578 feet, with 428 feet of sinking, a total of 2,OO6 feet.

.SEBAKWE REPORT
 GIVES DETAILS OF
 1923 DEVELOPMENT

The annual report of the Se- bakwe and District Mines on it's local activities north of the B. c. Silver, contains the fol- lowing interesting details of development operations up to March 1 of the present year. During the year the main drift, No. 432, fourth level, which was being driven in a general northeasterly direct ion on the orezone, was con- tinued 65 feet to 2,226 feet from the main crosscut, where the ore was first encountered. An additional 200 feet of cross cutting was also done on this level toward the face of 432 drift. The report says no val ues were encountered in this work, which may be useful lat CT for underground diamond drilling. The two compart- ment, vertical underground shaft started last year in the hanging wall of the Orebody and close to the main crosscut on the No. 4 level, was sunk to a depth of 150 feet; at which horizon No. 5 level was opened up. The report states that the shaft passed through a wide sliicified and mineralized ar ea,which, though not conner cial as a whole, carried in one place $15.75 across six and half feet.
 Crosscutting on No. 5 level encountered a silicified and nlineralized zone 90 feet from the shaft. This zone, the report says, was about 50 feet wide and up to March 1 had been drifted on 80 feet in a north erly direction and 414 feet in g southerly direction, roughly 500 feet in all. No values were encountered in a north erly direction but in the south erly extension ore was exposed by three crosscuts over an ap- proximate length of 150 feet.
 According to the report, sui ficient work had not been done to determine the average value of this orebody, but sampling indicated good milling grade.
 In the best place, Crosscut 502, ten feet of S20 ore was exposed, while 100 it. south of this crosscut 20 feet of $11 ore was encountered.
 Water met in sinking necesS- itated the operation of a pump on No. 5 level, but no serious flow was encountered.
 Total development for the year amounted to 1,730 feet of cross cutting and drifting, 160 feet of sinking or raising. Equip ment installed was confined to an air hoist and cage in the

B. [, SILVER REPORT
 ESTIMATES SEVEN
 MILLION IN SIGHT

That the ore chutes devel- oped in the B. C.. Silver proper ty>up to the present time should, in the opinion of the. consulting engineer, c. A. Banks, yield approximately $7,OOO,00 worth of mineable ore, is the salient statement of the annual report of B. c. Mines, Ltd, a copy of which was received on the last mail from a London correspondent.
 The report, which includes comprehensive key map of the B. c. Silver workings and also of the adjacent Premier prop erty, gives the following de- tails of development work dur ing the year ending March 31, 1929. The report fully con- firms development reports published by the Herald dur ing the same period.
 Work was concentrated on exploring the property in depth through No. 2 under ground shaft, sunk from the No. 3 level at a point 55 feet from the. northerly corner of the Simpson claim of the Pre- mier group. The shaft was deepened during the year 425 feet to a total depth of 56O. feet. From 220 to 375 feet it passed through a hig hly silic- flied and mineralized zone, de- scribed in the report as the, "main Zone," carrying low val ues. Formation then changed to turf. At 360 feet a chamber was cut and No. 5 level driven 500 feet southwesterly along the Premier boundary. The report says that practically the whole of this drifting was in silicified porphyry and "good spOtty values occurred over a length of 300 feet. Num- erous crosscuts were driven to explore the extent of these val ues. Crosscut 505, at 400 feet from the shaft, showed IT feet of $27 ore, and crosscut 404, at 370 feet from the shaft showed 10 feet of $14 ore.
 Concluding the above details, the report summarizes as fol- lows:
 "No 5 level was disappointing, as the values did not live up to what we had a right to expect from the diamond drilling; but, "a careful survey of No. 5 level, in relation to the substan- I tial orebody which has since been stopped on the Premier side of our boundary, shows conclusively that this level was driven slightly too high to catch the continuation of the main part of the orebody. We were mislead as to the ex- act position of the orebody, due to our diamond drill holes having migrated about 10 de- grees and having, in conse- quence, indicated it's position as being somewhat higher than it actually is."
 No estimate of tonnage could be made from the work done on 5 level, though the results, J taken in conjunction with the Premier stoping, indicate a substantial orebody in this place."
 After driving No. 5 level, in eluding a connection with the Premier workings, only six feet away, No. 2 shaft was con- tinued to a depth of 460 feet, or 100 feet below No. 5 level, and No 6 level was com menced. The report adds that a croSScut 15O feet long on the

CAIRO, Egypt, August 5.-Egyptians
reioiced today in vindication of a stub
born and long-held faith in their mon
arch, King Fuad, whose premier, Mo-
manned Pasha Mahmoud, yesterday
announced a far-reaching agreement
controlling relations with Great Brit
ain.
The preniers message said: II am
happy to announce that after long and
difficult negotiations I have succeeded
in obtaining proposals for settlement OF
relations between Egypt and England
on the basis of friendly mutual under
standing.
Full Details Soon to BE Barred.
Full details will be published in due
course and 1t is my fervent hope that
they will be examined in the spirit OF
enlightened patriotism by all Egytians
who love their country, regardless of
party or creed. I believe that If ex-
amined In this spirit they will be found
to go far beyond any proposals which
have preceded them and that a treaty
embodying these proposals will CONSOLE
date friendship and enable the two
countries to cooperate in preserving
the peace of the world"
The government of Egypt has been
conducted for some time without the
functioning of a Parliament. King
Fuad signed decree year ago sus-
pending Parliament for period of
three years.
British Discussions Recalled.
The announcement that proposals for
settlement of difficulties with Egypt
had been made came closely on sem
sational incidents in the British House
of Commons following the resignation
of Lord Lloyd, British high commits
sioner in Egypt since 1928. Arthur
Henderson. foreign minister replying in
the House last July IS to questions con-
corning Lord Lloyd's resignation, de-
clared the Labor government could not
pursue its policy with regard to Egypt
with confidence If Lord Lloyd's marked
determination to misrepresent or in
graciously apply the policy was to
continue"
Mr.. Henderson also announced that
he had had conversations with the Egyp-
tan premier and there was no Change
in the governments policy. This had
been announced as a determination to
bring about with Egypt 1.-The measure of
self-government which successive gov
ernments had repeatedly stated to be
their aim"
He amplified this by stating the pol
icy was for minimum of interference
in Egyptian internal affairs and lib
eral Interpretation of the declaration
of 1922. This declaration recognized
Egypt as an independent foreign state
in internal affairs, but contained four
eservations-security of British COM
munications, defense against foreign
aggression, protection Of ninorities and
protection of the Sudan.
An Anglo-Egyptian treaty negotiated
in 1927, designed to supersede this dec
laration, proved abortive Negotiations
have continued since that date.

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, August 5.-An
endless queue of people lined for blocks
in the torrid heat of early afternoon.
The attraction was a revival OF the
Four Horsemen," with Rudolph Valen-
tho. This silent film swung an un-
known young actor to the pinnacle OF
stardom.
Curious to know what my reaction
would be, persuaded the doorman to
let me in. Baleful glances from the
lined-up multitude. 1t was small
theater. and they feared, quite rightly,
that they would not all achieve en-
trance. They didn't. A good 200 were
turned away.
Those who did get in saw one of the
most interesting story panoramas yet
made unfold again before them. I
really doubt if anything like the Sc
quence of old Desnoyers surveying his
cattle in the Argentine has ever been
made since. Valentines appearance on
the screen was greeted with burst OF
applause.
This revival of famous silent film
proved several interesting points. First,
the subtitles are very boring to one
already accustomed to the easy absorp-
ton of necessary facts via dialogue
and camera. Another thing. the war
sequences seemed Unfortunately long.
And sound informs war with a convinc-
ing quality no silent Aim can ever
possess.
