MINES NEAR CROSSING

In @ recently-issued report of
the minister of mines, the follow-
mention is made of some of the
properties in the vicinity | of
Skeena Crossing:— _

This vicinity is still attraéting
the attention of prospectors: dur-

ing the past year eighty-three
new locations have been record-
ed. There are various promising
eopper properties in different

| stages of development, sufficient
work having been done to tend
hopes for the future.

The Juniper group, consisting

' .of nine claims, is owned . by the
Rocher de Boule Copper Com-
pany of Salt Lake City. Fora
general description of this prop-

’ erty and the approximate devel-

"opment done thereon, I will re-

with small gold values, Assays
of ore taken from these proper-

from many of these properties
values have run much higher. .

These properties have recently
been bonded to parties in Spo-
kane, Wash., and Wallace, Idaho,
who are actively engaged in car-
rying on development work.

There are many properties in
this vicinity which are equally
entitled to special mention, upon
which the annual assessment
work only has been recorded,
but no information as to the re-
sult of such work has been ob-
tainable,

Mining Note and Comment
(From The Chalcopyrite)

The Omineca Mining division

ing as gold commissioner a man
who knows something about
mining and realizes the import-
ance of the mining industry and
the needs of the men who are
engaged init. Stephen H. Hos-
kins fills the bill.

We read the leading news-
papers of Vancouver and Victoria
rather closely and rarely see the
word ‘mining’ in any of their
columns, - _

Once ina while they have some-
thing to say editorially about
“wild catting,'’? but there they
let it yest, and in consequence
those who do not read the mining
journals, but confine themselves
solely to our leading newspapers,
gather the impression that min-
ing is an unimportant industry
which can safely be avoided.’

‘We should like to see our minis-
ter of mines wield the “big stick"’
long enough and hard enough to
pound into the heads of some of

»| these shortsighted: newspaper

managers, sufficient. understand-
ing torealize that the vast number
of men engaged direetly or indi-
rectly tn mining, act as a unit in
support of those who strive to
promote the welfare of the” min-
ing industry.

From the earliest recorded
time the foundation of the world’s
wealth has been mining, and it
is the only business, barfarming, | ap
that adds to that wealth without) ¢,
injury to the interests of any in-
dividual. |
