Nicker- son were both away in the south, but | progress had been made, nevertheless. Netails of requirements were gone in- to thoroughly und a wire had been re; ecived that eontracts for large quan- tities were available, these at prices providing a reasonably safe margin for operators, providing freight rates were adjusted to come in line with Iusiness available. It was reported that Mr. Fraser, regionnl viee-presi- dent of the C.N.R., in charge of freigat rites, had come north, and had shéwn himself very favorable to meeting the loggers, and having rates adjusted on satisfactory lines. Tentative rates were discussed. and there seems every prospect that the railway will make business possthlie. Three operators from along the line were present at the meeting, these heing George Littir aud Mr. Gigey of Terrace and = A. Jacobson of Shames. Capt.

This has been one of the biggest employers of labor in the north for many years and it was for years the biggest coppef mine in the British Kaupire. The ore has been ex- hansted, except for a year or two; the company Tas a huge stock of copper an hand and the price is too low to sell.
