C. put together, outside possibly of Victoria. Not only did the syndicate put in all this money in cold cash, but they also signed an agreement, whereby they are not to sell nor offer for sale the interest they so acquired until February 1, 1927, or nearly a year and a half. When it it is remembered that this syndicate is composed of local successful mining and business men, who hare watched the progress of the Porter Idaho for fire years, and are closely in touch with developments, some idea of the standing of this property can be gained. What an object lesson to the people of B.C. who are continually trying to devise ways and means of increasing prosperity in this Province and who in many cases are always after the Government for this or that, and in addition are spending thousands annually in an attempt to interest outside capital to come to this Province and invest in various industries. There are at the outside not more than 2000 people in the whole of this district, and yet, prior to the formirg of this syndicate these people hare invested fully $125,000 in local mining stocks; add to that the $30,000 just paid over, and an qmount of $155,000 is reached, which is more money than the entire city of Greater Vancouver, with its population of about a quarter of a million people, has invested in this district; yet that city gets more than this amount of business each year from the mining industry of this district. The people of B. C. as a whole could well follow the example set them by the people of Portland Canal, and as a result it is safe to say that prosperity in this Province would increase 100 percent within a year. "DEVELOP OUR OWN NATURAL RESOURCES" appears te be the motto of this district. If this were made a Provincial-wide motto, what a difference there would be! Such a motto could well be promoted by Boards of Trade, Chambers of Commerce, Merchants' and Manufacturers' Associations throughout the entire Province; and then, instead of spending thousands annually trying to get outside capital to invest in our natural resources, this same capital would be spending thousands trying to come in.

D. 1925. 7 There is at the moment considerable discussion going on in Canada as to the advisability of the enactment of Blue Sky laws for Canada; but it would appear from recent actions of the Minister of Mines of British Columbia that under Section 16 of the Mineral Survey and Development Act sufficiently drastic action can be taken by a very simple method to go a long way toward safeguarding the public, without the enactment of more laws with which to encumber industry. Particularly would this be the case if the Act were supplemented so as to allow of quicker action and where necessary, prosecution. The Minister of Mines is doing the mining industry a real service by availing himself of the authority given under Section 16; for while so far, it may have been too late to have prevented some damage being done, still the injured have recourse to the courts, and even if court proceedings are not commenced, the Minister's action will serve as a great deterent to those gentlemen who are not at all particular as to the statements which they make. In addition to that it will serve to make all promoters more conservative in their statements, which will result in the public obtaining a truer conception ofthe mining industry than they now have, and as this is accomplished, mininjr will attain a far higher status in the minds of the general public than ever it has in the past.

Notice is hereby given that the Resident Engineer No. 1���Northwestern Mineral Survey District, British Columbia, upon receiving notice of an advertised and solicited sale of shares in '. a certain Company; viz., the Silver j Slipper Mining Company, Limited, upon statements or terms not in accordance with the actual facts and conditions has notified the undersigned, the Minister ot Mines, who upon investigation and in pursuance of Section 16 of the "Mineral Survey and Development Act," Chapter 160, R. S. B. C, 1924, finds it necessary to prevent injury to investors to give the following notice: That the said Resident Engineer, under date of 12th August, 1925, has submitted to the Minister of Mines a detailed report and comment on statements contained in a prospectus issued by the aforementioned Company and composed in terms which solicit the sale of shares in the said Silver Slipper Mining Company, Limited A leading paragraph of the said pro spectus reads:��� (1) "All of ths above mineral claims are situated on the Silverado Mountain and between the Porter Idaho and Silverado Group." The said Resident Engineer's comment on the foregoing follows:��� "This property lies south of the Silverado with the Silver Bell group between, and the Porter Idaho is on trie other side of the mountain, therefore the property does not lie between these two properties. This statement is misleading in that it infers that the property is on the same mineral as either or both of the better known properties. The said prospectus sets out further: (2) "The values from this vein I (No. 1) are up to $20.00 per ton in sil- , ver, gold and copper; the gangue is a 1 quartz; the ore is a good fluxing quality. The said Resident Engineer's comment on the foregoing follows. "This vein is up to ten (10) leet wide of barren, white bull-quartz. I could find nothing in it worth sampling as there is absolutely no mineralization in the quartz itself, the only sign of mineral being a slight deposition of chalcopyrite along an oxidized seam in the quartz, evidently where John the Finn' : managed to get out enough for a sample which assayed 'up to $20. in silver, i gold and copper.' I consider this vein worthless." The said prospectus further reads:��� I (3) "No 2 vein is a high grade vein | varying from fourteen to twenty-four inches (14 to 24 inchesi striking twenty degrees west of north and dipping at thirty to forty-five degrees southwest; values are up to Eighty-Five I Doliars [$85.00] per ton, and the vein is exposed for three hundred feet [30<> ft.], the principal minerals being gold, I silver and lead." The said Resident Engineer's com- ! mont on the foregoing follows:��� "This vein will average about 6 inches in width along an exposed Jlength of probably fifty feet from which a general sample was taken giving assays of 20 cents gold, and 63 cents silver, or a total of 83 cents per ton. Small specimens could probably be obtained that would assay 185.00 per ton, but the amount of such ore is negligible. The said prospectus also sets out the ' following:��� [4] "Considering the accessibility | of the Silver Shoe group, the strength ! of the known veins, and their values, the property is one of exceptional 1 merit. With a small amount of development work, such as drifting on No. 2 vein, ore could be shipped in paying quantities two months after the commencement of operations. No. one [1] Vein will undoubtedly be the large producer of this property, as it is anticipated the values in gold and silver wili increase considerably as depth is gained." The said Resident Engineer's comment on the foregoing follows: "lt will be seen from the foregoing comments that the property, instead of being one of 'exceptional merit,' has no merit." The said Resident Engineer concludes by making the following general observations:��� "It has been announced by 'John the Finn' to the advertisers of this stock that a new high grade vein has been discovered on the property that is of great importance. I have not seen the width or values given this vein in the press. The only work done on it con sisted of scraping the wash gravel off it where it shows in a small creek and picking out enough with a prospectors' pick for a sample. I found it only a few inches in width and a sample of several pieces of it assayed $8.80 in gold and $4.93 in silver per ton. "There is another small vein higher up [the showing on Vein No. 2 and the new discovery are at 4500 feet elevation], which I did not get to, but a piece of ore identified by the owner as the best from this vein, assayed 21 cents in gold and silver. ''Further comment as to the 'excep tional merit' of this property is, I think, unnecessary." WM. SLOAN, Minister of Mines, 25th August, 1925.

D. 1925. 10 Notice is hereby given that the Resident Engineer No. 1, Northwestern Mineral Survey District, British Columbia, upon receiving an advertised and solicited sale of shares in a certain Company, Viz , the Barite Gold Mines Limited, N. P. L., upon statements or terms not in accordance with the actual facts and conditions has notified the undersigned, the Minister of Mines, who upon investigation and in pursuance of Section 16, of the "Mineral Survey and Development Act," Chapter 160, R.S.B.C, 1924, finds it necessary to prevent injury to investors to give the following notice: That the said Resident Engineer, under date 14th Augutt, 1925, has submitted to the Minister of Mines a detailed report and comment on statements contained in a prospectus issued by the aforementioned Company and composed in terms which solicit the sale of shares in the said Barite Gold Mines Limited, N.P.L. That a leading paragraph of said prospectus reads:��� > [1] "There are three distinct ore veins on the property, the centre vein ranging from six to twelve feet in width and traceable on the surface for a distance of about fourteen hundred feet; the additional two parallel veins are quite similar in size, as the main or centre vein, and are traceable on the surface for a distance of approximately one thousand feet." The said Resident Engineer's comment on the foregoing follows:��� "There is, on top of the mountain at 5000 feet elevation, a width up to 30 feet in which occur small lenzes of barite running in all directions. They are not 'ore veins' for I was unable to find any mineral in any of them, except one which I will mention later, along a distance of 400 to 500 feet in which they crop on the surface. A wide open cut, 6 feet wide by 6 feet high at the face, driven in at the base of the ridge in which these gash veins occur, shows a flat vein of barite lying on the surface, about a foot thick and another vertical vein about a foot wide down the face, in neither of which could I find any trace of mineral." The said prospectus sets out further: [2] "The ore consists of fine grained galena, carrying values in gold, silver and lead. An assay made by the Government Assay Office at Victoria, B. C,, of surface rock, shows: Gold, tace; Silver, 49 ozs. per ton." The said Resident Engineer's comment on the foregoing follows: ��� "The only mineral showing that I could find on the property is a vein about 14 inches wide, on which a hole had been driven about two feet deep and possibly three feet long, disclosing about two inches of galena on each wall from which a sample was taken assaying gold, trace; silver, 13 ozs. per ton; lead, 29 per cent; a total of $55.50 per ton with silver at 70 cents per oz. and lead at eight cents per pound. This showing occurs in the centre of the barite belt, but four inches of ore in a 14 inch vein at this elevation and location is absolutely valueless." The said prospectus also contains the subjoined paragraph ��� "Owing to the favorable topography of these claims, tunnels can in every case be driven in on the viens, thus the working will be in ore from the start, which will prove most economical and be conducive to early shipments of ore to the smeller." The said Resident Engineer's comment on the foregoing follows:��� "There is at present no ore to ship, nor so far as I can see, any chance of getting ore to ship to the smelter." WM.
