United Bazaar Old Hazelton Was a Success ; ~~» Lhe. united bazaar of the W.A. of St. Peters church and Ladies’ Aid of the Union church was not ® the financial sucesss of former } years, although in every other way the ladies and the public are well satisfied. Owing to the con- dition of the roads and so much Ysickness throughout the district, im -the attendance. was not as great i} ‘as other vears and as a result a ™ number of articles in the general ’ . booth were not sold. The best money maker was hoop-la, a.game of science and fortune, Those in charge were kept on the jump all evening } gathering up and handing out rings, A profit of $50.00. was ‘made.

Ores and Offer Many Inducements A few-weeks ago this paper re« ferred to the probability of ore shipments being made from B.C, to Swansea at a very. ” low water haul, Arrangements have now been completed for boats to load ore at Vancouver for Swansea at a rate of $6.00 per ton. ‘The in- terest of the Old Country smelter people is such that they are giv- ing a very low smelter treatment charge and will pay at Vancou- ver 50 per cent of the value of value of the ore at time of ship- ment and the balance on smelter returns, As this business is in- creased the advanced payment will be increased to 75 per cent. When the mineral output of this province has developed sufficient- ly the Swansea people are pre- pared-to establish a smelter on the Pacific coast, ; This looks like the most en- couragement the mining industry in the north has ever received. ment charges the northern mines Rupert a sufficient tonnage of ore and the boats will call theré for it. Lt is purely a commercial en- terprise and politics has nothing todo with it. Swansea wants the ore and will send the ships to get it. Mines in the north will have to produce the ore.

The quality of the beef is not so good either. Thus far the best ani- mals received in Rupert were the black Poles. They seem to be better rustlers and better able to stand the drive and the train trip. — TS PE ESTAR Tag FIN ET REIN AT PO RS TLE Sea taarares ate pretty well cleaned up and the Burns buyer will start in the Buikley Valley.
