This dividend makes the fourth since the tramway was put in operation, December last, and brings the total distribution for the year up to the enormous sum of $2,400,000. It is believed that this is a record for any mining company in existence, particularly in view of the fact that the company are still spending considerable in the way of improvements to their plant. . .

FREE STATE AFFAIRS NO HOLY WAR THE Cosgrave ministry in the Irish Free State is going on its way witq confidence and determination. Republican members of the Dail, who are not in arms against the government, would be free to attend, but with one or two exceptions, they remain absent, leaving the opposition to Labor representatives, most of whom are supporters of the Free State constitution, though they have their own social program. The military operations continue, and there is a daily destruction of property by the raiders, who have a malicious desire to burn and blow up houses, though the destruction can serve no military or political purpose. The report that De Valera has grown tired of this nseless and destructive warfare, and is willing to negotiate, may have a basis of fact. But there is little ground for nagotiation ex cept on the matter of personal safety. NATIONALIST Turkey talks of a holy war, but there is no question of race or creed in the British effort to confine the struggle to Asia. Nor is it necessary that this attempt to keep the peace in Europe should be construed into support of Greece. Great Britain is under no obligation to the Greeks of the existing regime. She has the same reason as France to be neutral as between Turkey and Greece. Great Britain has not taken ground against the Mohammedans in any part of the world. Britain freed the Mohammedans of Egypt from the last remains of Turkish sovereignty, which Egypt had for a century tried to escape.

OUR BILL ON BERLIN <t*t ������ WE are informed from London that good progress haa been made in negotiations for settlement of Germany's indebtedness to this country. Equally solemn is the suggestion that the main point to be tiispttseejl of is whether Canuda will grant time for payment-*. Our understanding of the position of tbe debtor coudtry is that the last thing she ia likely to do is to pay her bills. Of course it is comforting from a bookkeeping point of view to learn that there to a prospect of settlement. But w hat will happen if Canada does not choose all as it has gone on in Russia, but slowly and without bloodshed (except in Ireland) and without upsetting unduly the* economic apparatus by means of which the British Isles have contrived to support a population of 40,000,000.

As a matter of fact, the activity woald have been pronounced by this time but for the deterrent factors presented by the railroad and coal strikes. Money is easy, most metals are at satisfactory price levels and actual development in almost every direction gives indisputable evidence of good results. A noticeable feature of the situation is the decided inclination of big houi.es to dip into the mining promotion business on a large scale-. There is an insistent demand for good properties, particularly those yielding gold and lead.

SEPTEMERB a. tm BRITISH COLUMBIA The Mineral Province of Western Canada Has produced Minerals valued as follows: Placer Gold, $76,177,403; Lode Gold, $105,557,977; Silver. $55,259,485; Lead. $48,330,575: Copper, $166,393,488; Zinc, $21,884,531; Coal and Coke. $225,- 409,505; Building Stone, Brick, Cement. $34,072,016; Miscellaneous Minerals, $1,210,639; making its'Mineral Production to the end of 1921 show AN AGGREGATE VALUE OF $734,259,619 The substantial progress of the Mining Industry in this Province is strikingly exhibited in the following figures, which show the value of production for successive five-year periods: For all years lo 1885, inclusive, $94,547,241; for five years, 1896-1900, $57,607,967; for five years, 1901-1905, $96,507,968; for five years, 1906-1910, $125, - 534,474; for five years, 1911-1915, $142,078,603; for five years, 1916-1920, $189,992,725; for the year 1921, $28,066,641. PRODUCTION DURING LAST TEN YEARS, $336,562,897 Lode mining has only been in progress for about 33 years, and not 10 per cent, of the Province has been even prospected; 300,000 square miles of unexplored mineral-bearing land are open for prospecting. The mining laws of this Province are more liberal and the fees lower than those of any other Province in the Dominion, or any Colony in the British Empire. Mineral locations are granted to discoverers for nominal fees. Absolute Titles are obtained by developing such properties, security of which is guaranteed by Crown Grants.

DANN, Proprietor Steam Heated Rooms Comfortably Furnished Baths Drying Room Dining Room FIFTH STREET STEWART Thf disappointment at learning that Hyder was named after a man and not after the element on which it stands���or floats. The fact that Stewarts of Stewart have at last struck it rich. The snow fall on August 31. The most advertised article of merchandise on the Portland canal���baths. The real estate boom at Hyder, British Columbia. Pat Daly. If anybody doubts this is a mineral belt���let him taste the water. The placer rights on the Premier ground. The typical mininpr town night life, the faro games, the saloons���where are they ? Afternoon tea at the Silver grill. It is apparent that civilization follows a thirst. BRAIN LEAKS A humbug seldom bites. Grounds for divorce ar* usually battle grounds. Never turn up your nose at people. Remember the law of gravity. After a man secures a girl's hand he sometimes finds she has him under her thumb. Did it ever occur to you, gentle reader, that the dozen committees that are investigating the high cost of living are a part of that high cost? Colonel John Barleycorn may be dead, but he has left a lot of poor relations. It costs more than ten million dollars a day to run the government of the United States. In these days of higher skirts we hear very few people clamoring for higher education. A busy man will buy an auto to save time, and then spend half his time tinkering with it. The only excess prophets now clattering up the premises are those who assure us that everything is going to the dogs. ^^^^^^ You may die become an invalid for life. Have you mada any provision do it now. You cannot afford to wait another minute large companies carry the risk: A calamity may happen to you tomorrow.
