The late John Ord was born in i Devonshire, England, where, | according to his last words, he jnow has a brother living. He ! left home at an early age, and traveled over nearly every continent, finally settling down to the life of a prospector in British Columbia many years ago; since when he has blazed trails and prospected over almost the entire province, locating several good 'properties. Among others may be mentioned the Nickle Plate mine at Hedley; but for reasons I that were no fault of his own, these benefitted him little.

No Advertising Aecepted for First Page BOARD OF TRADE VISIT in the present administration The Daily News, apparently, would like to see an election this year simply because Prince Rupert has not received what they consider a square deal. This attitude is all very well, but it is exceedingly insular. Rupert certainly has grounds for complaint; but because of this they are not justified in attempting to sacrifice the interests of the whole west; for it would be well for Prince Rupert to remember that it is not the only town west of Winnipeg. While representing this constituency, Colonel Peek at the same time owes a duty to the whole country, particularly the west. Had he voted for Mackenzie King's resolution, and had the resolution carried, there would have been an election this year. What would have been the result? This is a census taking year, and next session a Redistribution Bill will be put into effect, which will give to the west, as a whole, a greater repre- DALBY B. MORKILL MINING SURVEYOR IJ. C.

NOTARY PUBLIC INSURANCE STEWART B. C. and Alice Arm, is certainly welcome news to the people of the north, and to this section in particular. The trouble in the past has always been that the business people of the south knew nothing of the north. This year, when they come, they will see this section of the country just getting into its stride of development, and it is to be hoped will realize the possibilities, so that when they return south, the north will receive at the hands of the people of the south the attention and consideration to which its natural resourees entitle it. Doubtless the editorial campaign started by the Vancouver Sun, and now followed by the Victoria Colonist, is to a great extent responsible for this visit. These two papers have done, and are doing good work for the north, and in return for this the people in it should give them every support possible. In other words, let us support those papers that support us. i moment, they would realize that the treatment of j which they are justly complaining is due to the j HOTEL PRINCE RUPERT unequal comparison of seats in the house���a com-) parison that favors the east.

ROCHESTER, Managtr European Plan $1.50 per day up ST. MARK'S CHURCH STEALING Last week the columns of this paper contained an item to the effect that drill steel had been stolen from McGee's cabin at Marmot bay. This is not the only case in the country of this sneak thieving. Other cabins of prospectors have been robbed, and it is high time that drastic action were taken. This sneak thieving is not confined to prospectors' cabins only. There is evidently in our midst that contemptible piece of humanity known as a sneak thief, who will take anything, no matter what it is, whenever an opportunity offers, and he thinks he is not taking a chance. These sort of people are a menace to the community; therefore it behooves every real citizen to do his utmost to expose such individuals and so help to make this a white man's country. We have laws, but they cannot be enforced unless the people help to uphold them. There is nothing lower or more contemptible than these petty sneak thieves. They should be rounded up and deported out of the country���back to their place of birth���regardless of who or what they are; and when they are sent out of the district, their record should be sent with them, so that if ever caught in the act of stealing they after the redistribution, the interests of the entire west will be better served, in so much as it will receive increased representation. Mackenzie King, when he introduced his resolution, proved conclusively that he cares more for politics than for those matters that are of real importance and advantage to the west, providing, of course, that the saying, "Actions speak louder words," still holds true. Prince Rupert was the first place in the north to howl for a division of the province. They considered that the south was being built up at the expense of the north, because of the minority representation. In so far as this holds good Provincially, so much more so is it applicable to [ the Dominion. This is not so much the fault of any one gov-! ernment, but rather the force of circumstances. That'section, be it the north Provincially, or the west nationally, which has a minority representation, is bound to suffer accordingly. Therefore, we are inclined to be of the opinion that Colonel Peck is quite right in the attitude which he has adopted, in refusing to dance to the tune of a few people in Prince Rupert���people who would rather have him play politics, than adopt the policy of a statesman.

NOTICE TO MINING MEN Look at the map of British Columbia with an unbiased mind. Roughly Vancouver ia 800 miles from the same point in the Peace River country that is reached in 400 miles from Stewart, which is the natural outlet for the whole northern and eastern interior. Nearly every settler in the Peace River district is talking of railway communication with the coast. Speaking in broad terms there are thirty-two millions of acres of the Peace River tlistrict situated within the boundaries of British Columbia, and more than forty millions of acres within the Province of Alberta, most of it being suitable agricultural land for mixed farming or ranching. In addition there is a vast area of mineral and limbec resources, thet.xtentof which is only beginning to be realized. Immense deposits of anthracite coal have been located and the president of the Peace River Board of Trade is authority for the statement that this coal grades higher than Pennsylvania coal. Kxteimive exploration work is being carried on in oonneotion with oil and already startling results have been ho Itiined. The oil sands are located at a depth of about sixteen hundred feet and enough investigation has taken place to be assured that they are of wonderful extent. There is also an abundance i>f natural fas. The ar.'a un 'er cultivation at present is only about three hundred thousand acres and the population of the whole district is about twenty thousand. The first grain was sent out of the country three years ago, and consisted of less than one thousand bushels, Last year nine million bushels were produced from about a quarter million acres, the average wheat yield being thirty-live bushels to the acre or marly double the average of other portions of Alberta. The land is also well adapted tor the raising of stock of all kinds, particu. larly hugs. lt is reasonable to suppose that if two hundred and fifty thousand acres are now producing nine million bushi Is of grain, that within ��� very few years there will be ten million acres produc ing three hundred and fifty million bush els of grain, ur roughly, ten million ^a, tons. * ASSAYING pLOTHIER & BAKER HAVING ^ opened their office i.i .Stewart wis ii to herewith inform the Mining public that Ihe prices for the principal metals will be as follows: Gold, Silver, each, - - - $1.50 Cold and Silver, each, - - $:\00 Copper, Le.td, each, - - - 81,60 Gold, Silver and Copper, - $.'U>0 J Gold.

PRODUCTION DURING LAST TEN YEARS, $322,829,310 Lode mining has only been in progress for about 33 years, and not 20 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 oth��r 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. Full information, together with Mining Reports and Maps, may be obtained gratis by addressing THE HON. THE MINISTER OF MINES, Victoria, British Columbia. GENERAL NEWS Provincial, Dominion, America and the Old Country The population of Toronto is now 597,000. There are in Canada over 850,- 000 telephones, or one for every eleven people. Approximately 12,000 persons were killed by automobiles in the United States in 1920. Roumania owes Canada a million and a half dollars interest on loans made that country during the war. Montreal is now the fifth largest city on the North American continent, with 900,000 population. The geological survey branch of the Canadian department of mines reports that the oil fields of northern Canada comprise 300,000 square miles. Fred H. Lincoln has been appointed president of the company organized for the production of films to teach peography, history and civil government in Canadian schools. Last week the Standard Oil company declared a dividend of 200 per cent, payable May 16. This is the lowest dividend holders of stock have received in years. Too bad. ��� British Columbia's population is 555,536, according to Dr. Henry Young, secretary of the Provincial Board of Health. The total includes 25,649Indians. The total population is an increase of 89,700, or a little more than 20 per cent, over the previous year. YUKON WEDDING Record of a Peculiar Ceremony Carved on a Birch Tree St. Paul (Minn.) exchange, prints the following: "In far off Alaska, the land of snow and long winters, Cupid is somewhat handicapped, but the little love god gets in his work just thc same. Clerks of the court are not numerous, ln the states it is customary to obtain marriage licenses and later to make record of the ceremony. But in Alaska it sometimes is different. At least, such would seem the case from a letter received by Ruby Schmidt, deputy clerk, Ramsey county, from G. G. Dunlop, a friend, who lives in a little cabin near Strelna, Alaska. Dunlop tells of finding the record of a peculiar wedding ceremony, carved on a birch tree, under which he camped. Following is the record: "Matrimony on the Yukon" "Ten miles from the Yukon, On the banks of this lake, For a partner to the Koyukuk McGillis I'll take. We have no preacher, And we have no ring; It makes no difference. It's all the same thinu. (Signed) "AGGIE DALTON." "I swear by my gee pole, Under this tree, A faithful husband to Aggie I always will be. I'll love and protect This maiden so frail, From the sourdough stiffs On the Koyukuk trail. (Signed) "JACK McGILIS." "For two dollars apiece, In ehechaco money, I units this couple In holy matrimony. He be a miner, And she be a teacher; 1 do this job Just as well as a preacher.
