At present the roads are almost impassible for freighting supplies, and this somewhat retards the work, but in a few days, the roads will be in good shape again, when supplies can be'i'or-warded with quick despatch. Steel on the railway^is laid as far as Skeena Crossing bridge, one hundred and seventy miles east from Ppnce Rupert. It is expected xthat passenger trains will be^rtinningfrom Prince Rupert tc^ the crossing, soon. This 1 be a great boon to the travelling public as passengers leaving Prince Rupert in the morning will be able to get to Hazelton on the evening of the same day. On the arrival of the train at the crossing, passengers will go on board steamers waiting to carry them to Sealy and Hazelton, a distance'of about fifteen miles, there will also he motor cars to meet^the trains and carry passengers to sll towns in the interior. The roads will be good, and the climate and scenery cannot be beaten in all Canada, or any where on the Pacific coast. New Hazelton is going ahead, the citizens are preparing for a large influx of people the coming summer. The mining industry is flourishing, Roche De Boulle, Silver Cup, Silver Standard, the Harris Groups, and several other mines are looking better than ever. Messrs. Angus Stewart, D. McLeod and A, L. McHugh, visited the Silver Standard a day or two ago and are highly elated over their holdings. They brought large samples to New Hazelton, which are on view at the headquarters of Foley, Welch and Stewart. These samples are estimated to assay as high as six to seven hundred dollars to the ton, silver and copper. The steel bridge crossing the Skeena river, is expected to be finished about the first of July, and trains running into New Hazelton by August next and the snorts of the iron horse be welcomed by all. will Reginald Jobson has been appointed fire warden for the district between here and the Grand canyon.
