Trunk Pacific section of the Canadian
National ‘Railways. ;

One of the most, promising properties
the writer has-seen in that section
is the Hyland mine at the head of
[Cronin Creek, adjacent to the Babine,
Bonunza, selected’ and successfuly by
thé late James Cronin who pioneered

nnd bought the St. Eugene Mine at
Moyie to the position of being the larg-
est silver-lead mine in British Colum-
bia, prior to the diseonvery of the
Sulivan, Mr. Cronin made no mistake
in his Babine Ronanze, Time and mon-
ey will justify his work there, with
its’ 50,000 tons of reserve awaiting the
day .when the Premotor or company
with vision will také hold of it, solve
t hetransportation problem, and per-
haps realize My. Cronin’s dream of an-
other. St. Eugene in the northland,._

In the some mineral zone, 9 mile or
so’to the west of the Babine Bonanza
is the Hyland Basin Mine, which occu:
pies the headwaters of Cronin Creek,
At extends fora mille aiid a hal? from
the western boundary of the Babine
Bonanza to the summit of the ridge
overlooking the picturesque valley of
Driftwood Creek. * |:

The painted spurs and mountain top:
with their striking colora of red and
Yellow ochereous oxidation of ‘the,
outcroping mineral sulphides and their
associated dykes of intrusive rocks

_ the Hazelton Meeting are

Postponed

for One Week

Owing to’ other. business of a more
Dressing nature the series of: meetings
Announced last week for Hon. Dr, Me-
Lean, pretnier of British Columbia,
had to be postponed for one week,. At
the same time the several Liberal nom-
inating conventions were also post:
‘poned for one week. The Liberal con-
vention for Skeena will thus be held
in Terrace on Thusday, Fune 14, and
the public meeting in Hazelton on Fri-
day afternoon, June 15 at 2.30 o'clock
sharpe. The Premler will hold a pub-

lic meeting in, Terrace Thursday night

after the convention and will travel to
Hazelton by freight, speeder or some
means, even to Shanks’ mare, After
the Hazelton meeting Friday after-
noon the Premier and his party wilt
moto, to Smithers sand hold 1 meeting
there in the evening. The Premier ix

to be accompanied by Hon, T. D. Pat--
tullo, minister of Innds, and member
fur Prince Rupert. .

A while ago there were rmmors of
an opposition candidate in Skeena at
the Liberal convention, but ax time
on ‘those rumors fade away und what
some ‘promised would be a lively Lib-
eral convention at Terrace, now looks
Nke a Sunday school pienic with the
present candidate, Dr. Wrinch, as the
only candidate td be taken seriously.
The bogey about Hon. Mr. ‘Pottullo
not getting the Nomination in Prince
Rupert ‘has also. been . exploded. Jt
hever was taken seriously, but at that
it might have had a political signiti-

‘cance. In the north the Liberal patty

will go to the péople with the same
cindidutes they did last election.

IN ENTERESTS OF: OLD COUNTRY,
