IS ID MEET PREM|ERS
 IN CONFERENCE

At the invitation of Premier Tolmie, of British Columbia, Major Malcolm Elliott, presi- dent of the Alaska Road Con- mission, will go to Victoria this month for a conference with Dr. Tolmie and Premier King of the Dominion government regarding the proposed Pacif- ic-Yukon-Fairbanks highway, according to an announcement by the Alaska Road Commiss- ion headquarters in Juneau.
 The conference is scheduled for November 12. Major Elliott is now in Washington and will make a special trip to the coast for the meeting. Premier King is due for visit in Victoria at that time and all the facts rel ative to the great highway pro- ject will be laid before him and Premier Tolmie by Maj. Elliott. Interest in the highway pro- oosal has now reached a stage where it is attracting nation wide attention and there is ev- cry indication that the project will reach a tangible stage at 10 distant date if the scheme $ found to be practicable. Two bills are now before Congress authorizing investigations and the British Columbia authori- ties are apparently taking a very keen interest. They see in the project a splendid oppor- tunity for opening up the now isolated northern portions of the B. c. province and also the lower portions of the Yukon Territory.
 Such a highway will bring to British Columbia and Alaska thousands of auto tourists, who will leave millions of dollars behind them in course of tima- mostly in Canada. Hyder and Stewart will also profit im- measurably if the B. c. author lties can be induced to build a branch road from the main highway to Stewart.
 It is expected that the Domin- ion will authorize members of an international commission to study the feasibility of con- structing such a highway.

against the billowing rushes of smoke and fire. The bucket wielders kept valiantly to their task and continued to pour water on the building and also on the Mckenzie residence, a few rods north, despite the scorching heat and the danger of falling walls.
 Those who devoted them selves to this task deserve the utmost praise for their labors and their heroic disregard for personal comfort and safety. It was due entirely to their splendid efforts that the Me KenZie cottage was spared, as the brigade managed to keep the nearby north wall of the Sullivan building wet enough to stand as a bulwark between the fire and the cottage, mean while keeping the latter struct- ure drenched with water. With the subsistence of the flames, the wall was caved inward by means of long ladders and was soon consumed. The blaze lasted nearly two hours before the last wall was down and the danger fully over.
 The destroyed building was one of the oldest two-story

The lower floor was used by Mrs. Sullivan as a tailoring establishment until her depart ure for the south some months ago and was unoccupied. The adjoining garage building was used by immigration inspector D. J. Mulcare for sheltering his car, which was saved by prompt action on the part of deputy U. s. Marshal Don. E. Martin, assisted by others. On ly a very small part of the con- tents of the Sullivan building were saved and the few art icles salvaged consisted mainly of bed clothing. The loss is par tially covered by building in- surance of $2,OOO, with an ad- ditional $500 on personal eff fleets and furniture.
 Mir. Sullivan wishes the Her aid to express his grateful thanks to those who assisted in trying to save his property.

SEASONS WORK ON
 THE ENGINEER GROUP
 GIvESGOODR RESULTS

Work done during the past summer on the Marmot River properties of the Marmot Engi- nerr Mine Company has proved decidedly encouraging, accord ing to managing director Geo. rge H. Bum.
 A large amount of work of surface character was done during the season but operat- ions were directed principally to extending the main tunnel to crosscut the big copper vein, which forms the principal sur face showing. The vein was encountered shortly before op- erations were temporarily sus- pended a few days ago owing to the necessity for overhaul ing the compressor and install ing various new parts.
 Mir. Bum attempted to cross cut the vein before closing down but was unable to reach the farther wall. The failure was due mainly to the tunne. striking the vein at an angle. for although the vein is be lieved to be something over 10 feet wide, the tunnel was still in ore after 20 feet of driving diagonally across the vein. The pitch of the vein was found tC be about 70 degrees at the tun, nel level. It was also discover ed that the naturalization is considerably wider in the tun, nel than at the surface, indicat- ing that the ore body is widen ing rapidly. The ore is a white quartz earring heavy dissemi- nations of chalcopyrite and some galena of the massive or large grained type. The lat. ter mineral is also said by MT. Bunn to be more prevalent in the tunnell than in the surface ore. An interesting feature of the ore found in the tunnel is that it carries considerable quantities of lithium in the quartz.
 MT. Bum said it is the intent ion to fix up the compressor and extend the tunnel on the vein to cut an extensive DOT phyry belt carrying a high grade copper lead. This is To- cated between 70 and 80 feet beyond the present face and promises to develop ore of shipping grade, as indicated by assays of the surface ore show ing over 25 per cent copper and up to 31 ounces of silver.
 The company has on hand 8 large reserve of oil, coal and other supplies with which to continue operation later in the season.

EARLY MORNING FIRE WIPES OUT
 SULL|VN BLDG,

The w. s. Sullivan building at the corner of Premier Ave- nue and International Way be- came victim of the fire fiend early Thursday morning and the large, two-story business and residence structure was burned to the ground with practically all it's contents; to- gether with the adjoining gar age building.
 The origin of the blaze is not definitely known. The fire was first discovered by Mir. Sullivan about l 80 a. m., after he had been awakened by the loud barking of his dog outside the building. Some passer-by is also believed to have detect ed the blaze about the same time, as loud cries of "fire," apparently in a feminine voice, were heard by persons in the neighborhood shortly before MT. Sullivan gave the alarm.
 MT. Sullivan found his bed room on the upper floor filled with smoke and hastened to discover the source. On open ing the door leading to the rear of the building, he was nearly overwhelmed by a wave of smoke and flame. Hastily closing the door, he threw a few articles out of the window and made his escape in his' night clothes, as he was unable to find his attire, owing to the electric lights being cut off, ap- parently by the fire. Mean while George Devine had ap- peared on the scene and at tempted to enter the building but found the doors locked and hesitated to break in ow- ing to the prospect of starting a draft. The fire at that time was apparently confined to a relatively small part of the up- per story. Within a few min- utes the alarm had spread and others were arriving to lend their aid. The large chemical cart was hauled to the scene but could not be brought into play for some time, apparently because no one present knew how to manipulate the valves. As a result of this development many valuable minutes were lost before it was finally placed in action, principally through the efforts of N. M. Traversy. Observers state that there was a good chance for quench- ing the fire had the chemical been available when the appa- ratus first arrived on the scene. Regardless of the merit of this opinion, the incident provides a startling example of the need for some sort of volunteer fire fighting force or at least the necessity for instructing a num- per of persons how to operate the chemical, so that some one will always be available at such critical times.
 Meanwhile a bucket brigade had been formed and was lab- bring valiantly to check the fire,by this time had gained great headway. Their efforts
 were of slight avail, however,
 as, even tho assisted by the
 chemical, were of little effect

The Blackhill Mining Co.,, Ltd, is engaged in erecting winter camps on it's properties in the Bear River area and plans to continue work during the winter period. Activities will be directed to opening a series of promising lodes which are said to carry a foot of ship ping grade ore, in addition to considerable milling ore. It is also the intention to start ship ing the highgrade when devel- opment is more advanced. The company is controlled by the Northern Metals Holding Syn dicate, which holds an option on a major portion of the treas ury stock.
 Since the above was written, word comes from Stewart that a first shipment of 10 tons of Blackhill ore was brought to town this week for shipment to the Selby smelter. The ore is said to assay over $100 in gold, silver, lead and zinc.
