The article is too long tu here quote in full, Init in view of tlie disposition evinced iu certain quarters to "knock" lite mining and smelt in;; industries of this Boundary District in parficiijitr, and indeed uf the Province in general, it appeals io ni" probable that there ate innny who like myself will feel encouraged In persist ill having faith m ii.irilistriet. nnd province if thoy lend lhe inure per tiiient of the "rcflcrtions" iilludcd to so piole lliem as follows; "No due who sees what we did and bests explanations of the gradual and natural evolution of these industries, the one fnun the other, is likely tu hive any patience with the people— who say ; "All very fine no doubt. Mr, Olergue is a clever ami ad venturous man, an opiimist, who bores with a !■—•■<•• ' -i- .-;' -•■• '•'••• water. Hut In- i*n'i making any money." Let us suppose thai lie is an unpractical idealist. Lm the eastern cap. ilnlir-ts he has behind him, putting up iheir Iif teen million dollars or more, are amongst the shrewdest and most bind headed people iu the Slates. They, or some of them, visit these works once a year, some of lliem probably uflrner. Is it loi.ceiviible that such nien ns these would continue, year after year, tn invest lbe money of thetijselves and others if tbey were not either getting ret urns now, or satisfied that tlte returns will cuine? Besides, whose liusiiiis-; is it hul their own whether the Chigoe Syndicate make money or nut j it ill heciiiues any Canadian In lind fault with people whn put theii own money into our waste places and cause them to blus-oni. "The Testimony of tbe liucks is proving what riches we have in Northern Ontario, It is hardly wonderful that many people of mi imagination, seeing that rugged const line of Superior, should say; "Behold I here is naught." Scrubby woods—weather- beaten, unlovely rocks; these to the nninstnictedeye, ate "all there is to orinoiisly by the expenditure of this capital." Of course similar reflections are only in part applicable to the conditions ublaining'in ihis district, yet they do apply in sufficient tiegree to have con- sidenilileforce here. But we need not depend upon others for't'ocourag'tinent through this our time of building up. We have much to justify the faith thut is in us; i. e. nur faith in out mineral resources. I shall not now dwell on the progress tbe province ns a whole litis made in Ihis connection, hut shall confine my reference to the general progress r.f the mining Indus try to simply directing attention once again to the great advance.inttnt.nl value of its mineral production that has heen made in ten years. In 1801 the tolal value of minerals produced in British Columbia was $11,521,012, in 1805 it was $5,(113,012, whilst in 1000 it reached lhe comparatively large total of $16,841,761. These figures tell their own tale of material progress. Tlie progress of tlie Boundary Dis trict though, concerns us more nearly so I shut! endeavor to use it as a set-oft to tbe insinuations of the "knncker' Prior to 1000 practically no ore had been sent out, from the mines of the district; During the first half of thai year production was on a small scale, I ut al shipment shaving been only about 4.000 tons, und not a single ton smelted in the district hul early iu the second half prngiess was fairly entered upon, and hy tbe close of tbe year the output of the district aggregated 07,741 tons of which quantity 02,887 tonB were smell ed ul the flriinby Company's smel ternt Grand Forks. In February of the current year the British Columbia Copper Company's smelter; at Greenwood commenced operations and there after Loth production und local treat in-lit sul.Htnnl hilly increased until to day we have good reason to be proud of t he progress made; tbe output of the mines of tbe district fbr ten months to October81st having been IJ05.808 tons nf which 280,151 Ions were smelted nl the two district smelters. True there have been and still are drawbacks and disantioititments, tint these are inevitable iu a new country. Ton; Sir," titt'e myself, have lieen associated with the development of the districl since its days of small things, so you have an intimate knowledge of its vicissitude's. But admitting lhat il lins hud its downs as well asits tips, you can appreciate the force of my contention that it has made very substantial progress on the whole, In particular one great point has been gained, viz., that not only have the mining companies learned l hat operations must lie on a large scale to make the enormous bodies of low (.rude ore characteristic of lhe district yield profitable returns, hut two or Ihree of Ihem are adapting themselves to the conditions, and here in lies our chief hope, "knnekers" lo the contrary notwithstanding. 'Let ine, in conclusion, adapt to our own case the closing "reflections" of the tvritei 1 have already somewhat fully quoted : The value of the advent of these industrial combinations is not that they have shown us what we bad Ihere, but that they bave shown ns how lo utilize oui riches. If they have nol found our resources for the first time, they bave shown lis what they wen. good for, and have railroaded In to the wiltls for neglected wealth PRICE OF COPPER W. I.

All this cannot go on without, benefitting lhe country. These people buy food, machinery and clothing from us and employ our citizens. If the usufruct of the capital so used goes in part out ofCaiiada.if is a pity; tint Canada and Canadians meanwhile benefit en nuis, to not h nd our self esteem. They must have worked and explored lo reach where they now stand. Such heights and depths of mineral riches as ibey have reached in searching Were tint ntiaineil by sttdded flight, But they, .vhile theii' companions slept, Were toiling upward in the night. And I hough in some respects it is yel night with us, the cheering signs of dawn are certainly tn lie seen. Yours etc., E. JACOBS. Greenwood, B. C, Nov. 7,1001. BOUNDARY ORE SHIPMENTS. and Sweaters.

That Markets for British Columbia Copper be Found In Hawaii, Japan and China. Recent actions on the part of the copper trust, and the growing production of cupper in Briiish Ooiumbia have aroused the apprehension of min- ing men In regard to tbe future, and have led to their suggesting steps which would counteract any hostile acton the part of Ihe big I rust. Prominent among those who have studied the question .is ,W. M. Brewer, M. R., of this city, and in an interview with Ihe Times Ibis morning he outlined it course which he thought would meet the danger. "A short telegram published fiom Butte, Montana;'' he said, "relative to the closing down of some of the copper minus temporarily io order lo keep the price of copper at ils present, high rate, is suggestive to copper producers in British Columbia that at some fu- tuie time, whenever the copper production of this province is sufficient to have an influence on tlie eastern market, the copper trust will have to la- dealt, with, utile-H tbe Pacific coast is independent of that trust. "There is no doubt that the price of copper for a long time past has been nu ber artificial than real, and regulated more by the trust, and curtailed production than by actual demand. Up to the present time the production of British Ool ttm hia had not been .-.iiBi- -lunt. fn ...,t ,mT "n"-. r.n Wu. ,ulukll, Iml In future these conditions are finely to be changed. During the past year the production from the low grade ores of the Bonndary Creek district bus been such that any increase in tbe Hineltiiig capacity will certainly attract attention from the copper trusts. It is the expressed intent ion of some of these companies to continue increasing their smelting capacity, and the present time i.s, in my opinion, the hest time to look ahead so that tliere may not be uny fear of a repetition oft.be complaints which followed the action of the United Slates smelter men when they concluded that they did not wish to purchase British Ooiumbia lead ores. "British Columbia is in a position to help herself, if she w ill do so, and place herself iu the position almost entirely independent of either the trusts in tlie United States or the Eoglijh market so far as lead, copper, iron and steel products nre concerned. True, this is a very early day to advance this position, but it is nevertheless true, he- causu tbe markets of Hawaii, Japan, China and Australia are at her doors, and in those markets she should be able to meet all competitors. "A good deal of talk has been made about the establishment of smelting and re lining works in British Columbia, This has lieen of a spasmodic character, and no steps have ever hi en taken to follow it up or ascertain w bat results could be achieved. "British Oolumhla cult help I111-.'If in tbis way. Let the provincial government select some representative itl each of the countries 1 have mentioned who is competent to compile statistics and ascertain beyond any doubt lln* (loantity and character of lead, copper, iron and steel products which tbe markets of tbe Orient demand. With these statistics gathered under the auspices of the government, and endorsed liy tliegineinm..in,then llrilisli Coliiniliia is in a position to present for the attention of capitalists statistics showing the demand as well as statistics showing tbe product ion, transportation facilities from tlie interior to the coast, and from tile coast to the ports of ihu Orient, antl it will take but little consideration for nu individual or syndicate to decide whether tbo establishment of refineries and factories would lie a paying oralDsinggnine.

Those Bulgiii ian brigands seem to consider Miss Stone a precious one, ami about the only pebble on the beach.—Bolicnygeon Independent. The Depart ment of the Interior has issued an excellent atlas of the Dominion of Canada, giving distinct maps of each of the provinces together with a large number of engravings, lhe greater part of which represent ranching scenes in Manitoba and the Northwest, which give a good idea of the rapid progress made in western Canada since a comparatively few years ago It also contains much information tbat Intending settlers should know before starling out tu make uew homes for themselves in a country where the conditions are probably entirely different from where they are leaving. Il is hy far the best immigration literature that depart ment has yet issued, and should prove very effectlva in carrying out the work intended for it lo do. It is presented with Ihe compliments of Hum Clifford Sifton. If this province bad a department of mines that was worth calling a department of mines, which it has not and has nevei yet had and which there is not. the slightest prospect, as things nre tit present, of its gelling, Ihere are several ways in which it might greatly foster and assist the infant, mining industries of I he country. To begin witb, there is a practice which hus been in vogue for several veins in Manitoba and the Northwest with the best results. It is Ibe practice of exhibition cars. The C. P. It. in us own and the country's interest provides Ihe car. The government, or even as has more than once been the cnse, some city through ils board of trade, provides a good tnmi to do lbe talking and a collection of grains, grasses, roots and Vegetables, and there you are. The car travels around in Eastern Canada or lhe States, stopping at fie- queill points, wheie it is calculated to do most good and furnishing an object lesson of llm agricultural resources ami capabilities of the country, such as all immigration literature ever printed cannot equal. Now, why should not lhe 11. C, Department of Mines adopt a similar plan. There is no doubt the C. P. it, would be as willing to help us as Manitoba, The cost would lie very little. The advertisement given the mineral resources of the country .voiini ne ehoffnous. as ii is now ev ety visitor to the province marvels at our riches and at the lack of policy which is content to leave ihem timid* vertised and unknown, for so practically they are. There is aunt her way in which a live mining depart inetii might do a great deal lo push the developnienl of our mineral wealth. There are at this day, for instance, two metals for which a demand is rapidly springing up, with a corresponding increase in their market value. These are platinum and molybdenite, Does it never occur to the deportment that some information with regard to these minerals, both of which arc known to exist ill the province, might be of value? The Department nf Agriculture issues pamphlets telling the farmer all about caterpillars and truit culture. Why should not tbe prospector l.ejnstructed in all particulars of value to him wilh regard to platinum ami iiiolybdenile.and for that mailer other valuable minerals which he might possibly come across in his explorations, bul which he is just as likely as not to pass over owing to lack of familiarity, such as lhe most usual ore of tin called cassiterile and cinnabar? The only known ore of platinum is i are but It does exist near Sudbury, pamphlet in plain English hearing on them might prove of immense value. In the case of platinum, which is now nearly double the value of gold, and which is positively known to exist ill the province in placer form in considerable quantities, there are two chief difficulties. It is hard to save and there is no handy market for it in small quantities. These are twodifticullies which a live depart ment of mini's would bestir itself to overcome. But in countries where the government bus gi isped the fact of lhe immense value to the whole community of the mining industry, such us Australia, Ihe education of lhe miner and prospector is taken iu band in a much more extensive and energetic manner than even as suggested in the preceding paragraph. In Australia Ihey have a regular government, system of free instruction in lheelemenlsof mineralogy and the use of the blowpipe for qualitative analysis. Theprofessms who conduct these classes are the very best men who can he obtained, usually men with a Freiburg diploma, the most highly esteemed in mineralogy and mining science. They navel round Ihe country and give courses lasting four months apiece. Tbe course is entirely free, specimens are provided free, all required is regularity in attendance, The consequence is that you find a number of men in every Australian mining cump well grounded in mineralogy and skillful in the use of the blowpipe, The average British Columbia prospector and miner is pi city much at sea outside of Ihe few mosl familiar ores of lead and copper. But nothing escapes the trained eye and tbe little blowpipe of bis Australian competitor. Of course, these courses entail expense but Australia has found them a profitable investment. When the new minister of mines, whoever it is to be, is seeking re elec tion fiom his constituents on accepting the portfolio, it might add some point to the usual guff about doing all in bis power to develop the magnificent min eral resources of this country if he would come off the perch for a few minutes and tell us what his opinion is on a real policy of doing something such as is sketched out above.—Kerel- stoke Herald. Mr, (iodenrath Interviewed. Percy F, (iodenrath, of Oreenwood, passed through Miilway on Friday en route home from Princeton. He says that times in the Siuiilkunie. u are still quiet.

Besides developing its coal the coinpaiiy has platted a townsite. being a portion of the Angus La iiioiii, ranch, adjoining Smith Curtis' townsile, Copperfield, which has also been acquired.

Arrangements Will Shortly be Completed for the Establishment of a Pulp Factory Near Vancouver. Represent ing an European syndicate wilh unlimited resources, having some of the wealthiest people of France at its hack, George Taunt arrived at the coast direct from London a few days ago for the purposes of Investigating the resources of British Columbia in a mining way and making a report to thu directors as soon as possible, He, however, is not commissioned lo do this only, hut has in bis hands the business of establishing a pulp mill for a syndicate of capitalists of British Columbia, Speaking of the Hrst mentioned husiness Mr. Taunt has stated that it wur his intention of having all the proper ties which the company owned and which the syndicate intended to purchase, examined, besides getting all papers into proper legal form, The syndicate, be states, at present has properties on the Fraser and Thompson rivers, liesiiles mines in IheCat'lboo ami Oinltteca country, Heretofore tbey have not paid much attention to Ihis province, having all Ihey could iln to manage work at other points, Imt next year their intention is to devoir some lime to developing their prnperl y in British Columbia, In conipany with Mr. Taunt is an English engineer, who is now up the const from Victoria inspecting a inin ing proposition. On his return, ii. aliout two weeks time, both lie anil Mr, Taunt will make a tour of lhe properties of the Fraser and Thompson, examining and taking careful note of any Indications of richness, Having satislled themselves as lo their value they will ciiniintie their trip to the Boundary country antl liossland. where the syndicate also owns mines. Unfortunately it is loo late in tlte year foi a trip into the Otuineea country, so that the claims in that country cannot he inspected until the spring, The object of nil ibis preliminary work is, according to Mr. Taunt, to decide whether the probable results would warrant lhe shipping froni France nf dredgers for the working of the properties on the livers. The syndicate spoken of linn concluded mining operations liy dredging foi some years in New Zealand, The dredger which it is proposed to send fnr work in British Columbia will be one of the most item type mail.' hy ihe manufacturers, who are, it might lie mentioned, none oilier thnn lhe syndicate which intends opeiiitlng Ihe dredgeis. The machine used in New Z-aland lias hem givatly improved mi liy experts sent tntlnit i nny 10 as- certain its defects, and ii islheiinprov- ed dredger lhat will lm used in Hritish Cnluuihia. As soon as Mr. Tallin's Inspection is i pleled lie will cahle lo headquarters his report and immediately the construction of the number of dredgeis required will lie proceeded with. He states ilml in his opinion about ten will lie required, iwo for each of the live river properties. They will he shipped 111 sections, having heen llr.*t put together and tested. Operations, he expects, will commence early next spring. In regard lo the pulp factory, Mr. Taunt slales lhat he will meet one ol those Interested in a few days in Van (•Oliver, when complete arrangements Will he until-*.
