SHADOWLAWN, Oci. 2.—Three
thousand young Democrats visited
here Saturday afternoon and vigor
ously cheered President Wilson’s ad

TURRET GROWN
LOADING AT THE GRANBY DOCK
Steamer Has a Capacity of More tliuu
Three Thousand Tons and Will l>e
Loaded to Capacity for Anyox,
B. C, Smelter.
The steamer Turret Crown arrived
in port Saturday evening and is now
at the Granby dock taking on a cargo
of ore. The vessel is of the whale
back type, so largely used as ore car
riers on the Great Lakes, and has a
capacity of about 3,000 tons. She
will be loaded to nearly capacity and
it is expected she will get away for
Anyox, B. C., some time this even
ing. This is the third shipment
made by the mine, the first going out
early In August, the second about
Sept. 12, and the present one, the
three aggregating about 7,200 tons.
Supt. Palmer Cook has been getting
the ore out much more expeditiously
than was anticipated, and as a result
has been almost blocked by the quan
tity of ore on hand, which filled the
bunkers to overflowlhg. In the fu
ture it is expected the shipments w'll
be made more frequently, thus pre
venting any possibility of curtailing
the production.
