C., stated Mining Engi- neer J. M. Mcdonald, the com pany's filed representative who last week completed brief exam ination of that area.
 MT. Mcdonald, prior to his de- parture for the South a few days ago, informed Tlle Gateway that big tonnage ja desired and this will, of course, have to be defi- nitely aScertained Developments in the field todate, while show ing excellent large ore bodies car rying great quantities of gold, have not reached that point nec- essary for operations on a mag nitude entailing great initial outlay of capital and assured op- eration for many years.
 MT. Mcdonald reflected opti- mism, as far as this area was concerned which embraces the Downey & Babcock property-but, as was previously said, further in terest will be dependent upon as says from samples MT. Mcdonald took out with him. The Granby company is the large mining firm active in Southeastern Alaska and in British Columbia.
