$22.OO AVERAGE ACROSS SEVEN FEET OBTAINED IN
 DRIFT AT B. C. SILVER

The July report, just issued by the B. C.. Silver Mines, Limited, contains the following information as to work done:
 t'Work was confined entirely to No. 6 level.
 Drift 636 was advanced 139 feet in. the same general southwesterly direction. The zone persisted for S9 feet: the balance of the work was partly in heavily faulted country, and partly in green por- pryry. To date, this drift has dis closed length of 12O feet of ore, averaging $22.0O across a sampling width of 2 feet. Short crosscuts on each side indicate 8 probable Stoping width of ten feet.
 Drifting will be continued, and a crosscut into the hanging, wall has been started.
 Drift 6S3, the northeast drift on the zone, was advanced 120 feet, making the face 252 feet from the main sos croSScut. This, work was partly in silicifled porphyry, and partly in turf and green porphyry.
 Drift 6S7 was commenced at 23O feet from the. main. sos. .crosscut. This was advanced 38.5. feet in a general easterly direction, to pros pect mineralized zone encount- cred in Drift 633. This work was all in highly silicifed pOEphyry,. show ing some heavy sulphides. Some values were obtained from samp- ling, and this drift is being pushed ahead" ;.

TOLMIE ASKS AID TO
 BUILD YUKON ROAD

OTTAWA.--A grand plan for an international highway extending from the border of Mexico away up through British Columbia to the Yukon and Alaska was dis cussed al, an interview here today between Premier Tolmie of British Columbia and Hon. Charles. Stew art, minister of the interior. The Provincial Government is favorable to the plan, but 1t is of great mag nitude, and federal aid will be necessary.
 It is understood that MT. Stewart was preared to have the Dominion build the Yukon part of it, but did not commit himself on the other. There are some 460 miles of new road in British Columbia, and about 125 miles in the Yukon re- quired to carry out the scheme. The lure of American tourists to the Land of the Midnight Sun in Canada, just as Sweden and Nor way in like attitudes are the great attraction of Europe, is the par ticular object of the plan.
 Premier Tolmie explained that the highway would run from IT, juana, Mexico, up the whole Pacific Coast to the international boundary of British Columbia, connecting there with the roadway to Hazelton, B. C., and afterwards going on to connect with the Yukon and Alaska systems. Tt would give United States people" !" he said, an opportunity of visit ing Alaska by road through the richest scenery in the world. It would give Canadians access to the Yukon without going through the United States.
 It is a very large enterprise" Mir. Tolmie continued, land our Satis- factory talk today was necessarily of a general or preliminary char acter, but our Pacific Coast people are deeply interested in this plan and we are very hopeful of 1t ultimately going through"

Silver Tip Mine
 Promises Much
Have Not Yet Reached Objective,
 But Operations Please

Geo. E. Winkler, managing di- rector of the Silver Tip Mining Development Co. Ltd, operating on the Salmon River above the Big Missouri, who has been up at the property since early in August came down shortly after the con- pletion of Patsy Hogan's contract and left for Victoria on Thursdays boat.
 While the operations this season did not reach the objective aimed at, MT. Winkler expressed himself as well pleased with the work accomplished.
 Nothing further will be done in the Winkler tunnel this year, which is now in 556 feet, but a small crew under Supt. J. V. Clegg will continue work for a few weeks driving crosscut from the tunnel on the "B" vein. This tunnel, driven some years ago on vein IT feet wide, received some attention this season, as a result of. which further surface work was done Some exceptionally fine ore was found in the out croppingS
 Mir. Winkler concluded that the tunnel had for the greater part of its length been driven in the footwall of the vein, and decided to do some crosscutting in order to determine this point
 Mir. Winkler, when he came off the hill, turned in two samples of ore for assaying. Both were select ed samples and that from the Butte zone went 1O67 ounces in silver; that from the "B" vein O.56 ounces gold and 143 ounces silver.

Drove Tunnel
 in Record Time
Four Men Averaged 115 Feet Per
 Month

Patsy Hogan, with his crew of hard-rock miners, came down from the Silver Tip on Monday after completing a tunnelling contract on that property on which they have been engaged since the first of May.
 In four and a half months, with crew of four, a total footage of 515 feet was driven, an average of nearly 115 feet per month. As ITO feet of this was through a hard quartz-porphyry which made diffi- cult hand drilling, the record made was an excellent one.
 The tunnel was a continuation of the one started last season on the Bella Coola claim of the group, with the object of reaching the Butte and Abbey zones. It is now in 556 feet. A crosscut 55 feet in length was driven north from the end of it towards the Butte zone. This will have to be continued an-  other 85 feet through two quartz porphyry dykes and 20 feet of tufts in order to. reach depth of BOO feet directly under the high-grade silver shoot exposed at the surface on this zone.
 It will also be necessary to cross cut about the same distance to the south in order to explore the Abbey zone at depth.
 Tn the crosscut numerous seams of calcite were cut. some of which contained a little lead, zinc and grey copper. Pyrite is abundant in the tufts. but carries only small values unless the other sulphldes are present.

HINDER, B. C.:TO BECOME
 RAILROAD TERAAINUS?

Considerable interest has been occasioned here by the publication in the Financial News, Vancouver of an article pertaining to the sale of waterfrontage at Hyder, B. C. Both Stewart and Hyder have been endeavoring to have Hyder made the ultimate terminus of the. rail- way, the advantages of an Alaskan connection being so obvious as to need no reiteration at this time. R. Beaumont and associates, who own the .Hyder, B. C., townsite, have evidently started negotiations for selling to the Canadian North eastern.
 The row of lots fronting on the main street of Hyder, B. C., which is the road between Hyder, Alaska, and Stewart, is now practically all owned by private parties, but back of them are three whole blocks and three half-blocks belonging in the townsite, upon which there has been no building done and which are all covered with water at low tide. In fact, the whole of the Hyder, B. C., townsite is tide land. The item in the Financial News says:
 Negotiations are under way in volving the disposal of the entire holdings of the Portland Canal Maritime Company, which com- priseS a subdivision of business property and acreage on the waterfront between Stewart, B. C., and Hyder, Alaska. The townsite adjoins Hyder, Alaska, and extends to the Government wharf, Premier ore bunkers and tram aerial. The area is generally known as Hyder, B. c.
 Ut has been suggested that were the Canadian Northeastern Rail- way Company in possession of this parcel of land, they would have water frontage on both sides of the canal and would have the key to international wharfage facilities which might be very valuable.
 News that the entire British Columbia delegation to the Cana dian Chamber of Commerce at Edmonton is prepared to accept the most feasible, economical route, whether it be by way of Stewart, Prince. Rupert, or Vancouver, for the Peace outlet, is perhaps one of the factors entering into this deal, as Stewart is expected to have early railway construction follow ing present surveys"

Calgary, Sept. 14.-A resolution stating the Peace River country ought to be recognized as a national asset, and its development assisted and encouraged by the whole of Canada, and that a direct railway outlet to some port on the Pacific Coast should be constructed without delay, in addition to an adequate system of branch lines in the district, was passed by the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, which held the concluding sessions of it's annual convention here yes- terday.

NIP. Syndicate
 Suspends Work
Adverse Weather Prompts Men to
 Abandon Interior Trip

The Northern Prospector Syndi- cate prospectors, Weldon and Wir- rola, returned last Monday from a trip to the interior, going in by the Western Airways plane to Tide Lake two weeks ago, and returning on foot.
 Their objective was to prospect the country in the vicinity of a lake lying west of Mt. Knipple, but owing to the height of the mount aims surrounding the lake, prevent ing manoevering for safe landing Pilot Gilbert decided not to at tempt it, and turned back to Tide Lake where a landing was made
 After three days hard hiking over a rough country with risky travelling over. glaciers, and fogs and snow flurries to contend with the difficulties of reaching the lake at this season of the year were realized, and the men turned back.
 Large Quartz Ledge Staked ;y On their way out they discovered large quartz ledge on which they located eight claims. The ore is similar to that at Tide Lake and is on the same line of strike, about fourteen miles northwest of. Tide Lake. With bad weather. threaten ing, they had no time to prospect their find, which is apparently extensive.
 Owing to the lateness of the season, the Northern Prospector Syndicate will not send any other parties into the interior this year, but will continue their explorations early next summer, and although the results achieved have not been so successful as was anticipated, a large amount of data in connec- tion with, the lay of the country has been obtained, which can now be utilized in rediscovering the ore bodies originally found by placer miners in 1885, the reloca- tion of which is the main objective of the syndicate.

HOLLYWOOD, July 14.-Here's a
blow to native sons and daughters.
No less a director than Fred Niblo
comes forward, just before packing
up for a long vacation trip, with
the assertion that of all American
accents, that of California CONVEX
sation is most difficult for the
movie microphone to record!
This western accent, broader and
flatter than that Of the south or
even the New England "twang,"
he defines as starting at the Mis-
siSsippi river and infesting the
west"
But for all that, this mode of
speech is still preferable to broken
accents" he concludes.
And what is the ideal accent?
Niblo believes it is that Of the New
York speaking stage-"mcdified
from London stage conversation"
East Of Chicago" he says, zone
hears the language spoken correctly
without being stilted. Some actors
are Anglo-maniacs with their af-
fectation. But as examples Of cor
rectly spoken English, I consider

Jeanne Eagels representative Of the

Another instrument entrusted by
Haghi to his agents is the smallest
camera ever manufactured. This is
SO made that it will fit back of the

Scientific Story

Almost every device known to

"Spies" is described as Q dramatic
narrative Of Continental adven-

mysterious character named Haghl,
who has a host of private agents
scattered about Europe and who

Reciprocal Hunting
Plan in Texarkana
Vetoed By Governor

TEXARKANA, July 13.-R-
Hunters Of TeXarkana must con-
fine their sporting activities to their
respective counties-the Texans in
Bowie county, and the Arkansans
in Miller county, due to the failure
Of the reciprocal hunting plan.
The veto Of Gov. Harvey Parnell
Of Arkansas has killed all hopes of
success Of the plan for at least two
years. Although a bill passed by
the Texas legislature is now before
Gov. Dan Moody, his signature will
not effect the situation. The Ar
kansas executive held the bill IN
constitutional when he affixed his
veto.
Under the proposed plan, Miller
county residents would have been
allowed to hunt in Bowie county
upon payment of the regular 81
Texas fee instead of having to pay
the $26 nonresident fee. The Ar
kansas bill, as passed by the legis-
lature, made no charge for resi-
dents in Bowie county.
