NEW STRIKE AT ALICE ARM ��� A new discovery and which caused some talk in the camp, was recently made on a property within three or four miles of the Alice Arm hotel, just north of the Spaniard claims. The owners are Neil Forbes and Fred Martinson, and assay returns gave more than 700 ounces silver to the ton. Another strike was made on the Henry Wulf property, at Fourteen Mile point, on the railway. This is a 20-foot vein which runs $37. Mr. Wulf has gone below to finance the property. J dm West has bonded the old Santiago group of two claims on the north fork of the Kitsault liver. Capt. McLennan, of the McLennan Silver Mines, owning the Royal group of seven claims, stinted his gang to work or the Royal 5 fraction and has stripped the Little Joe vein right across the claim. The ledge is 30 feet wide and in the same formation as the Dolly Varden.

The substantial progress of the Mining Industry in this Province j is strikingly exhibited in the following figures, which show the value I uf production for successive five-yai' periods: For all years to 1895, inclusive, $94,547,241; for five years, 1896-1900, $57,605,907; for five years, 1901-1905, $96,509,9-68; for five years, 1906-1910, $125,- 534,474; for five years, 1911-1915, 8142,072,603; for the year 1916, $42,290,402; fur the year 1917, $37,010,392; for the year 1918, $41,782,474.

Lode mining has only been in progress for about 20 years, and not 20 per rent, 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.
