The Keegan llmlta carry a lino Bland of fir and spruce, but as the fires inHt summer worked Into them. It uecamo necesaary to have tli.'iu recruisod. This work has boon under way for a weok and ahould bo finished this woelc, and a definite announcement of tho Cranbrook company's Intentions will bo made nt once. If the fires have not done greater damage than la anticipated, there will he timber enough on the limits to keep a .15,000 mill operating for five or six years. Mr. Meyers has noen over tho ground several times and contemplates orecting a sawmill in tin? bush and hauling the lumber a distance of three and one-half to n site on the railway near the city power plant, where a plan-in;; mill will bo operated. Suitable lota for i his purpose have been found ami negotiations aro under way with ' the -i :�. for a lease or purchase. t ! As the company will require consld-I orahlo yard room for lumber, it will ', rt'iiulre two or three blocks of lotB. Mr. Meyers say* the company's op-atioiiH should furnish employment | for upward of forty men. Ho and his associates have been all their lives In the timber business and understand It. For tho past four years they huvo been operating in the Cratihroul; district and were -ay lth in one season of having their timber -cut out when thoir mill was de-stroyod by flro two n�onvhs ago. Onu n U.SOD given for comlug Into the northern country is that the Cranbrook aren is no longer a good flold for a small mill as tho coBt of moving l..is is Increasing and rc~ qulri's heavy commitments for flumes and timber reserves. There are a number of better stands than the Keegan limits offering but the latter ii.iv.' ilm inlmntaRc of .being close to town, and this, for domestic iiH. becomes nn object with of the members of the company.

The area covered by the experts lies between the Peace river on tho south and the Graham river on tho north, niul comprised 400 square miles of territory. Following a general reconnais-anee by the late Professor J. C. Owlillam, In 1919. who recommend-e'd detailed explorations of certain areas. Prof. K. Spleker of tho Johns Hopkln University was employed In the following year-to report on tho geology of tho laud to the south side of the Peace river. The urea to the north of the river was examined by Mr. John A, DreBS-er, consulting geologist, of Montreal, and Prof. Alexander McLean of the University of Toronto. ' Following field examinations by these engineers, drilling operations were commenced in June, 1921, and were continued for one year. Diamond drills were used and the cores from the boreholes woro preserved for study and c.nreul examination. It was possible to secure almost.complete cores, providing well defined Iorb of the borings. Six holes were put down, ranging from 10 27 to 25 2 5 feot In depth. Dr. F. H. McLean of the geological survey of Canada has already started examination of the cores. Three distinct geological formations have, been established tn the cores. They are the Dunvegun, St. Johh and Bullhead. Of these the St. John formation Is regarded- as the more Important, being of marine origin and potentially an oil-bearing strata. This formation not only underlies a creat portion of the Peace River district In British Columbia, but of Alberta as well. From the different borings. It is stated. Ratine water, inflammable gas and thin rilms of oil were obtained.

It was put down to athat the Lusitania carried neither masked nor unmasked guns, no troops of any nationality, and no explosives except 5,400 cases of ammunition authorized under rulings of the department of commerce In force since 1913. ' Thin report, according to Maione, answers effectively the German argument that the sinking of the Lusl-tanla was provoked by the carrying of guns and, was made more - rapid by the explosion of ammunition within her hold.
