Weeks or More

(Tous. Andy Grant received word the

© wes missing, and had been for the lust
_ three weeks, at least it is that long
a since he called at Dorreen post office
Stor his mail.

Michel has a farm across the river
from Fiddler Creek and, like ‘most of
the fellows, he lived alone. He spent
it part of his tine digging into the hill
and paning the creeks, and also did a
lithe hunting. The people around
Dorreen do not knew whether he went
prospecting ov hunting, but when he
was so long way from the post office
a party went over to his farm. He
was not there. A search party went
( out in hopes of locating him. There

From Onr Own Reporter

This port has jumped squarely onto
the front page of seme of the world’s
Intgest papers, And its all because of
the finding of a part of the skeleton
of some unclassified sea monster on
the rock shore of Henry Island, about
twenty miles distant. It may he all

is nll sea serpent guess work. Dr.
Carter. has the bones preserved, and
awaits the verdict of the Biological
station at Nanfamo as to tlentity of a
Wirt of the vertebra, and fragments of
the skin recently seut there. The Lon
don Daily Mail features the strange
discovery, and proféssors in
souin Luistitute, Washington, as well
asx in Seattle, are much interested.

Pat Daly Did
A Great Work
During His Life

Pat Daly dropped dead in the Wind-
sor Hotel in Montrerl the first of last
week, and thus closed one of the must
colorful lives of the north coast. Of
him and his careers could be written
volumes of the most readable stories
und withont much fiction either, of
pioncering and its trials, troubles and
tribulations. “That thing called money
never bothered Pat becnuse he never
had nny very long, and he only want-
ed it te carry on his prospecting and
his mining, and to be happy now ond
again, Put was the man who gets,
and rightly so, the bulk of ihe credit
for the Premier mine on Portiand enn-
al, the mine that has paid twenty inil-
lion dollars in dividends to its stoelz
holders: What Pat got out of it in,
money Was practivally nothing, lut be
Hot a Work of sntistaction out of it
being a snecess, He was a doer of

nh period of reul happiness every time
a ditidend was deélared to the stock
holders, .
Pat Duly’s first interest in life was
prospecting, but his recreation was bis
tin whistle. He enrried it always with
him, and he played it when he felt like
it whether it was on the sidewalke
of New York, Madison Square Gar-
dens or in the hills of the Portland
Canul zone. Pat and his tin whistle

Why the Silver
Mines Cannot
Attract Capital

Many wonder that there is uot
more doing on. the silver properties.
how that silver is quoted at a price
which would .make it profitable ti
mine silver. We have discussed this
siturtion with mew who have and who
aye opernting silver mines in British
Colunibia.

All through the northern part of the
province us well as in the south, the
silver ores curry n large per centave
af end and sine, The price of lend
wad “ne are so low that heavy losses
ive inade, even on the ores in the
lower part of the province elose to the
smelters and where the freight rate is
low and mining costs are as low, or
even lower than they ate in the norti.
A very latge working capital wonl)
he vegnived to carry the lead and the
zine over for higher prices, and it
would be quite a gamble at. that.

' At the present price of silver Joc:!
Intues could operate at a profit, if
there was any kind. of. a decent price
or nnirket for lead and zinc. Or, even
if the litter two minerals wonld earry
their own shire of mining, milling,
freight and smelter charges, the pros-
pect would look more attractive to the
men with capital But for the present
world consumption of: those metals is
apparently away. below . production
and world stocks of lead and zinc.
