No Advertising Accepted for First Page REAL PROSPECTORS NEEDED James Cronin, a pioneer min ng man of the Pacific N��rth-Jl A recent issue of the Canadian Mining Journal has the following logical comment on present-day needs: "Vast unexplored territory���enormous undeveloped mineral resources ��� ground scarcely scratched." Phrases like these are the vogue these days, when speaking of the mineral areas of northern Canada. The terms can, no doubt, be applied literally, to certain parts of our northern territory, and, we are confident, the northern mineral area as a whole will measure up to the picture drawn. But one must beware of a misapplication of the idea, as can easily happen, for instance, in the case of Ontario, where for almost two decades, throughout a large part of the north, the most effective body of prospectors in Canada have been doing their level best to pick up whatever nature has left in view at the surface, and have in many cases conducted the next stage in the search by means of pick and shovel. The case of Quebec is different. There only a tiny cor nerof the province, lying south of the] mineral industry of the future What we wish to dwell upon today is the problem of getting the scratching done. There is only a ridiculously small number of men actually engaged in the| scratching for minerals. Many scratch their heads instead of the rocks, not knowing how to tackle the genuine pioneer work. "You scratch my back and I'll scratch yours," is the motto of another faction of pseudo-prospectors, who make their living peddling claims, usually in league with stock-jobbers in the cities. A small residuum does actually ferret round among the rocks, systematically and with knowledge of what they seek and of how to conduct the search. Upon this handful of faithful workers depends essentially the discovery of new mineral deposits and their initial development, and consequently the growth of our mining industry. Of course there are the occasional accidental discoveries, but the veins of minerals so found are few compared with those discovered by the prospector; so one must depend essentially upon scratching to make new mines. Time has shown that "scouting" for new mines is ene of the surest ways for a company to waste money, the main reason being that this method does not involve sufficient scratching. Our mineral areas are as yet scarcely scratched. The men that do the scratching have no easy life, and they do not always have the reward of success. Let us not forget that it is only a continuance of this same scratching, whether it is done by untutored *woodsmen or by highly trained technical specialists, that will bring to earth our dream of Canada's great Bonanza, ahout thirty miles from Telkwa.

British Columbia is occupying a place that is of increasing im portance in the manufacturing industry of the Dominion. Her factories are not only becoming more numerous every year, but existing plants are incress ng their output all the time, due to greater demand both at home and [abroad for British Columbia products. The outstanding mik condensary in the province is that of the Borden Company, Limited, at South Sumas. Famous far beyond the limits of British Columbia, the wonderful milk from the Chilliwack district in the Fraser River valley is here put up in sanitary tins and is marketed through the Borden sales organization with headquarters in Vancouver. Borden's St. Charles Milk, as it is known in the familiar blue and white can with the gold cow on it, is noted for its richness and is more and more being used by housewives on the Coast "wherever the recipe calls for milk." Orders already on file will call for the operation of the South Sumas condensary at full capacity from March 1st right on. 5fl��S OF, LMDACTAMENDMENTS CAROLAN'S Meat Market and General Stor Hardware Groceries Fresh Meats Worki,-���r. , Boots and Shoes Stoves and SI ,* Powder, Caps and Fuse One pair genuine Silk Stockings given with each $lo cash e P��rrh��f SALMON RIVER BANKING COMPffl HYDER, ALASKA (Incorporated Under tho Laws of Alaska) 4 PER CENT Paid on Savings Bank Account!

Henry Rivard says an optimist is a man who while shovelling snow is happy because he doesn't have to mow the lawn. Last month a .-nan was sent to jail in Alberta and came out drunk. And still some people object to being incarcerated. A party paper in the interior says Premier Oliver is the man of the hour. We are willing to go further and say he is a regular alarm clock. A southern exchange tells us they are digging up fossils in Victoria. Why dig 'em, when there are so many above ground in the capital city? Premier King recommends out door life for the youth of Canada. It might be a good thing il some of his supporters in the House at Ottawa were given the air. An Ottawa dispatch states that Canada will receive 150,000 English and Scotch settlers this year. The News will gamble that they will all be exempt from income tax.

It is true that investigations have been going forward satisfactorily and reports have been made accordingly, but as "Rome was not built in a day," neither are such projects carried to a successful termination so hurriedly.

The first one is only some two thousand feet from the mouth and would giye a fall of two hundred and fifty feet. The second site is about three miles up stream but in some respects is preferable. Here the water comes through a rarrovv tive during the summer. The Marmot has some mining properties which were the first in the district to ship ore profitably, and it is expected that Marmot River stocks will be in great demand.

It can be readily seen that this would provide for an almost unlimited head of water, especially when it is noted that this second site i3 below the forks of the river and the two branches are thought to be approximately ten and fifteen miles in length. One of the chief objects of the last investigation was to ascei- tain if the volume of water would bi sufficient during the driest period of the year, which would likely be during December, January and February. The investigating party was quite satisfied on this point. Reports have been forwarded only during the last month to the Eastern interests which have the project under consideration, but it is too soon to expect a reply or any definite action.
