In an interesting survey of the mining operations of 1919 and a forecast fur 1920, Hon. William Sloan, minister of mines, expresses tlie greatest confidence in British Columbia's premier Industry, and greatest natural resource. , "While the actual mineral output for 1919 somewhat fell below that of 1918 there Is nothing discouraging In that fact, The cessation of hostilities brought to an abrupt termination a huge war demand for cupper, lead and zinc and production of these minerals was forced to mark lime pending the readustment of peace conditions. "This readustment has been delayed owing to the long drawn out peace negotiations, which in turn have prevented industrial peace conditions, However, we may look for an early settlement followed by the resumption of great industrial activity along all lines. This should bring ln its train a big new demand lor staple minerals ui increased prices Silver is Sensation. "Silver has, of course, been the sensational mining feature of the year. The extraordinarily high price of the tnelul is due to well known causes and those will probably obtain for several years to come. China and India will continue 10 absorb great quantities of sliver in liquidation of their trade balances and war loans to the Allies and ii is well known that when silver once reaches those countries, .specially India, it diaapeaxs from ihe world's visible supply. India seems to possess an insatiable appetite for sil ver which, when once it goes into the .niters of that country never again emerges Into world circulation, The high price of silver has bad a [ratifying stimulating effect upon sil vet milling in British Columbia and has led to the reuvenaUon of must of the old silver camp.- such at Slocan and Mnsworth and to the opening up nf mum new ones, such us those of Mice Arm and the Sulniini River min Ing district surrounding Btawart While told DM nut itu rease.1 In n I nt- the i n-.t "i mining II during the aim went stemiiii ii; leading to -��� iiiiinni decline In production Inlj where goM ��u*- obtained 4- an auxll i.irv wiiue wiiii other ui.'i.ii was pro ���,,ii in..mi uued at o<" saal '" tan cHinpN ..i ihe north .111.1 it,������ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ arapa uf Ihe south prat ' !< iu* an ,�������� lie. ,'i,,|iiiieiil wot k in . ,.|.l nun. , nl.'ii.ikeii tot , ��� .

We expect to have more machines al work in the spring and to continue a systematic exploration of various camps so that outside capital may be procured for development oil a producing basis. ���one very encouraging feature of the situation In the province today seems to be a clearer understanding of the fact thai mining is a business winch can be and should be conducted on sound business lines, list as cure- fully and conservatively as farming or manufacturing, Investors by realizing this fact will be taking fewer risks and the industry will greatly benefit. I notice that even the banks are beginning to look kindly upon mining as a business and one bank is at present advertising its willingness to assist legitimate mining enterprises, in local press. This is a very good omen, for recognition of mining as a legitimate business enterprise will do much to establish it in the confidence of the public. To Restore Trade. The mining Industry of British Columbia can do a great deal Inward restoring Canada's trade balance. Perhaps no other in Canada can do bo much. The production of silver in this province should In a year or so predominate thai of anj other province or state on the continent and as silver is iu foreign demand al an enormously enhanced value Its production is of national as well us ol local Im- - portance. The same thing applies wiUi almost equal force to gold and to the base metals, (iu ihe whole I believe British Columbia [aces a banner yeai In the mining Industry, one which should bring great wealth t, ��� cltl ten and add materlall) to the nation a| urospei Itj ' Mr Sloan -sml In 1 1 liisinn Sole: STICKING TO FACTS This paper does not claim to be infallible, but it does claim that in its reports on mining matters it aims to stick as closely to facts as is humanly possible. When reports of "strikes" and new discoveries are made, it wants them verified. If it hasn't first hand information it will say so. putting the responsibility for the reports where it belongs. There is no need for wild statements nor florery discourses concerning the mineral resources of the district. The properties will stand on their merits, and Portland Canal News will be satisfied with giving bald statements of fact regarding mining operations. These will be interesting enough. But these statements, if published as facts, will be facts. The Portland Canal News will father no wildcat schemes, and in justice to the prospectors of the district it can truthfully say that up to date it has not been asked to do so. As to mining deals, a deal is not a deal, so far as this paper is concerned, until the papers are signed, sealed and delivered. There is many a slip twixt cup and lip, and sometimes ."i deal is spoiled by premature publicity.

In the year 1913, present prices for silver, .upper, lead and speller would have caused operators of the West to sing liosannas. Taking a general review Of the situation a . it now stands. but little figuring is required to demonstrate the fact that metal prices of today are really lower than five o years ago. As'to gold, volume.-, have been writ- tell, printed and spoken lately, and much that is conflicting. The only thing we can be sure of is that tire price of the metal remains just where it was iu 1813, while costs have increased almost 100%, To look al it from another angle, the gold miner is HOW receiving wlial would have amounted to slightly over $10 per ounce In the year before Wllhelm turned Europe upside down.

The President group will be one ot the new properties operating next spring, it is hoped. The ore showing is excellent, being the same as the general character of ore carrying the high silver values of Ihe Salmon River section. As a mining proposition the ground has advantages Of situation, being un the wagon -road, and workable by tunnel. A recent assay from me on the President went 53 ounces in silver. Officials of the company are well pleased with the encountering of the vein in the new Alaska where a I tin-foot tunnel is being driven under contract to McKenzie & Carlson, This tunnel has croscut thirty feet of ore thus far. W. .1. Van Houten, president of the company, is in Los Angeles spending the holidays, and expects to return to Vancouver early iu the spring, by which time Mr. O'Brien will have returned. Arrangements to start up operations will then be made. PROHIBITION OFF Ottawa- War-time restrictions in Canada, including prohibition was 60.4 cents per ounce. These days it is averaging a little better than $1.-0 per ounce, so that, taking costs into consideration, silver producers are today getting about the equivalent of what they did In 1913 real advance. Average price in mr,I and betting on horse races, will end January 1.
