NEW. HAZELTON, B, G. WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMB’R 5, 1928

By the middle: of November, ie all
goes according to. schedule, there will
begin a steady flow: of . concentrates
from the new. mill now being installed
ut the Silver. Cup.mine on Nine Mile
mountain. That is a big undertaking
and one would think -it on impossible
one in so short a time. But the. man
hehind is W. B. Doraberg and he has
the faculty of usually shaving done
aoe )6=6|lwwhat he sets as an objective. ,

a It was only a few short weeks ago
that a few men were sent up the hill
to prepare the site for the mill. and for.
the camp buildings. . Just a month Ago
the inill engineer and construction man
went up to get the buildings Teady for
the machinery and for, the eamp crew,
and to instal the water supply.

Today there is 2 cook house anda
bunk house ready for the men; the
site for the mill is ready and conerete
work will start by the 15th of this
month; the trench, 300 feet long, for
the water.main bas been dug;
right of way. for the tram has been
surveyed and clearing starts this week,
The right-of-way will be 30. feet wide
nnd 4000 feet long, running: from the
portal of the main working tunnel to
the crusher-at the mill.- A half a mile
of new read from ‘the Nine Mile wagon
road to the mill is-now practically in
a finished state. It, is‘ a full width
road so that;trucks may pass. Then
there is & turning platformMuch of the
new road is: a Jedge, cut, into-the side

‘on » Monday

_ Sixty years ago last. Wednesday, the
20th day of August, the first white |
woman arrived it Northern | British ;
Columbia to take up a Hfe of service
to the natives for the glory of God.
That woman was Mrs.. (Rev.) Robt.
Tomlinson; She was then only. seven-
teen years of age and a native of Ire-
land with seven years residence in Vic-
toria, B. C, She entered upon her new
life with confidence and: through the
many years she accomplished a Wwon-
Gerful work. It seemed that the more

work she did :for the natives the more
she was able to do, and the more -was
she called upon to do. Her only regret
taday is that her active days are over
and she awaits the next call to serve
in another life in, another world.

This remarkable woman, who. for
some months past has been residing
with her son, Robt. Tomlinson, joined
with a large number of friends of the
district and celebrated the anniversary
of the sixtieth year of her coming to}:
this north country.

Mrs. Robt. Tomlinson, jr. arranged
a tea party for the pioneer, the oldest
surviving pioneer’ of the originals to
the north. coast and interior. Amid
flags and bunting tables were set un-
der: the splendid shade trees in front
of the son’s residence and here Mrs.
Tomlinson greeted and drank tea with
old friends, and with numerous new
|friends. .She possesses all her facul-
tes and can still give a. ‘very. vivid pic-

then. and- often’ savage tribes.

. During the. afternoon. Dr. Wrinch, on
behalf of the United Chureh of: Oana-
da, read’ to Mrs. Tomlinson’ a letter
of congratulation and an: expression of
appreciation of her remarkable work.
The Doctor also spoke -at length: upon
his own knowledge of the life and the
work of the guest of honor. Speeches
