carried by G. A. Walkem in 1924 in a three-sided contest. The result in Vancouver means the gain of six seats, five of which were taken out of the Liberal column and one from the Provincials. It also accounted for the. defeat of Hon. Dugald Donaghy, who was recently called to the MacLean cabinet as minister of finance.
The win of 'four Conservatives in Victoria made no change in the standing of the parties in the last house but Premier MacLean was among the candidates going down to defeat.
The indications are the Conservatives will have a strength of more than thirty in the next legislature. In addition to the twenty-four seats se- i cured by them trey appear to be certain of carrying Creston, Mackenzie, Uossland-Trail, Salmon Arm, Similka-meen and .South Okanagan, and in addition :o these there are several

Solid Specimen Assayed $16.75 With

Over Eleven Per Cent
Peter Skaret and C. Folk have received very encouraging news from E. W. Widdowson, of Nelson, B. C, as to the values contained in the ore they have located in the big mineral ledge about six miles southwest of this city. Two samples taken from the ledge were forwarded to Nelson two weeks ago for assay, one being a crushed sampling of the ledge matter. The Nelson assayer telegraphed the results of his assays and the formal certificates wilf follow in a few days.
In the telegram it is stated each of the samples show substantial values in gold, silver, lead and zinc. The crushed sample forwarded gave sensa-
Burden Defeats Perry In
The Prince George Riding
F. P. Burden, the Conservative candidate, carried the Fort George riding, securing a substantial majority over H. G. Perry, who had represented it for the past eight years in the Liberal interests. With six small polls to be accounted for and a scattering absentee vote which was recorded throughout the other ridings, Mr. Burden is leading his Liberal opponent by 119., the vote standing: Burden 1427, Perry 1308.
The vote in the city was Burden 490, and Perry 456, and to this was added the absentee vote of 27 and 18 respectively, making the total 517 to 474. This did not discourage the Liberal workers as they were counting upon a sufficient majority at McBride to overcome it. Tliey were figuring on a possible adverse maority in Prince George of 75, but were counting on a majority of 70 at McBride and a majority at Dunster of 10. When the returns were received from McBride they were very disappointing to the
