The output averages #14 42 per capita pit the year. For 1912 B C Miielter receipts, compiled to Nov 16, show a total of 1 984 376 tons, an increase of 20 per cent, for ilit- same period in 1911. The 1912 increase over last year is about 30 per cent. The total value of all metals .nined in B C to date is $430,000,000. The annual special mining number of t'le Nelson Daily News is a mine of in- f>rniation. The review covers the Kootenays, Boundary and Similkameen. The editing is by L B Reynolds, who is a careful and well qualified writer on mining matter. The N.lson. Daily News has shown commendable public spirit in thus giving so valuable information in such, good form. Advices received this week from New York by Sharp and Irvine, who are closely in touch with the British Col umbia Copper company officials, stal that the conference between the company and E. L Voigt, relative to the confinu auce of the option held by the British Columbia Copper company on the Voigt mines, has not \et been concluded. Opinion is divided among mining men familiar with ' the situation at Voigt mines, but the majority of them are iu clined to believe that the option will net be allowed to lapse and that the bond eventually will' be taken up—Phoenix Pio.tieer. E. Hibbert ,jyho has been superin tendent of the Mother Lobe mine of the Lritish Columbia Copper compan3', will shortly leave for the east to take charge of a mine at Sudbury, Ontario. The B.C. Copper Co. is removing mining and prosp.cting plant from Voigt camp to bond covered claims on copper mountain and is employing a force of about 70 men. Mining engineer Weekes and wife arrived last Saturday and went to Voigt camp, the former tq resume his duties for the B.C Copper Co. The following claims haye been bonded by the"CB.C. Copper Co., all of which are ' principally held by local parties : Ada B Ala B Fraction, Silver Dollar, Princess j Maud, Annie L Red Ea^le, ' Triangle Friction, Lone Star Fraction. Flegel v. B.C.

The Roche river district will be tapped by the transp'ovintial .trunk road and that will give a big impetus to the mining of that section. The Princeton Coal and land Co , are shipping about an average of seven cars daily, and the coal is giving verv good satisfaction among many new consumers at the coast. When there are improve 1 railway facilities the Princeton Coal & Land Co. will be obliged to increase the present output immensely. TRADE OF CANADA RUNS TO BILLION DOLLARS. COUNTRY PROSPEROUS Dominion Doubles Business in Six Years and Still Agoing. DEBATING SOCIETY. -- There was an highly appreciative and cultured audience ac the lecture given by the Rev. R J. McLean, in Oddfellow's hall, Wednesday evening. The Literary and Debating Society have begun well. The subject on the lecture, ' Ireland and its people' could not have been 111 '.ru-.ted with a better exponent of. Irish history and milesian character. Humor pathos and a review of the national life were blended into a symmetrical whole b\ 1 native son. T. J Guinan followed the lecturer touching on the political and religious conditions, and comp'imeniing the speaker for his fair ana unbiassed ex position of the subject. J. D Audta- nccupied the chair, introduced the iecturer and presented him with a vote thanks. BASSET BALL GAME Youth and agihtv had their innings last night at the basket ball match Boys v. Boys and Girls v Girls, There was a good attendance notwithstanding two other attractions Judging from the play and lineup there is a lot of good athletic material in Princeton which only needs cultivation and practise to develop into first class players. Following are the names of those taking part in the games:—White collars, Misses Edna Lyall, Evans, Pavey, Burpee, Mrs Joundry. All Blues—Misses Millie Schisler, M. Scott, Knudson, Wilms, Layton. Score, 6 to 4 in favor of all bines. . Boys v. Boys—O'Brien Legg,Williams, Waddell, Kirbv, Sheen Hill, Pietrie, McDougal, McCurdy—the Boys won 19 to 10. Canada's total trade for the twelve months of the past year passed the billion dollar mark by a little over five and a half million dollars. Final or detailed figures will not be available for some weeks yet, bnt the returns received so far by the Trade and Commerce and Customs departments show that the billion dollar mark has been well passed. As compared with the Dominion's trade for 1911 this represents a gain of nearly $189,000,000 or 23 per cent. Imports for the past 12 months totalled approximately $654,000,000, while exports amounted to nearly $352,000,000. The gain in imports was nearly $140,000,000. while ex poits increased by nearly $49,000,000. Only one country in the world rivals Canada in the percentage of trade growth during the past few years, namely, Argentina. By the end of the fiscal vear it is expected that Canada will have reached tenth place among the countries of the world in respect of total trade. The Dominion's trade has doubled with in the past six years and trebled within the past thirteen years. SNOW AND FUR. Dick Fitzgerald came down from his trap line along the Hope summit, and reports seven feet of snow at the head of thesouth fork of Granite Creek, and at ' 45 ' about six feet. ' Deer are plentiful around the Powder camp, an unusually high altitude for them at this time of the vear.

Fatalism is a myth. It would give our pride and self conceit ■a bad jolt to know the reason why people pity us. Good manners are based on the as sumption that all men are created equal —any boor may eat correctly but have an offensive manner. PHILOSOPHY OF LIFE. Money and social position count for nothing if thev are not accompanied by those qualities which command respect and friendship. .The person who tries to please everybody is on the same plane with one who does not care to please anybody—they do not enter into the true philosophy of life and hence are unhappy. No one can withdraw from the various activites of life without injury to himself. To be miserly is to be miserably. It is easv to accuse and find fault and it is only the guilty who do it.

LEGISLATION NEEDED. The provincial legislature began its labors yesterday for the year 1913. There is a lot of legislation that is important and therefore necessary for the advancement of tbe iuterests of tbe province. No more weighty matter will raquire deliberation than that of redistribution. The increase of population «s revealed by the last census demands increased representation. Some constituencies have outgrown the principle of rep. by pop. to snch proportions as to force a readjustment. Constitutional government, as it is in Canada, equalizes the rights and burdens of the people, giving them a fair and proportional voice in the government of the country. Some constituencies are as they now stand unwieldy, and at much comparative disadvantage in this respect. In regard to the Similkameen it could easily be laid out to conform to symmetrical lines and include within its boundaries all the towns at present contained in this electoral district. In the readjustment of boundaries it would be well to follow the county system prevalent in the east. A county town in a central location with all the offices for the conduct of public business would be a great convenience. As it is now Kamloops, Fairview, Nicola, Ashcroft and Princeton all share in the business connected with land, public works, mining, &c. One is often puzzled to know at which place his special business can be transacted. With Princeton, say, as the county town legistration and all other business could be done under one roof uickly, simply and without loss of time or expense running from one oflice to another as at present. The administration of justice is in need of regulation and should be brought uptodate as compared with otl.er provinces. The care of prisoners, travelling expenses in connection thereof, labors of same, and jail accommodation are all matters for remedy. Magisterial I trials entail a large amount of labor and time without remuneration to those performing the duty To relieve magistrates ol onerous services and unsatisfactory conditions resulting from lack of systematic regulation, some provision should be made for frequent courts presided over by a stipendiary magistrate. Justice, sure and swift, is the best help that can be given toward contentment and business stability of the people. Once let cofidence be shaken in our judical system tbe whole commercial and social fabric will totter. Slow, expensive, wearying justice breeds contempt if not anarchist sentiments. The fugitive debtor and the common deadbeat who are always fortified with a hard luck story ought to have justice handed them quickly, protecting the person who honestly conducts a rredit business. Small debts are the curse of any occupation, owing to tbe expense of collecting. Some legislation is necessary to redress tbe wrong inflicted by expensive justice. NOTES AND COMMENTS. The middleman toils not nor spins—except yarns. Eliminate the non-producing middleman and the high cost of living must drop some. Winter sports will he a great attraction for visitors when there is a railway connection with the big coast cities. What could be more invigorating to those living in a dull climate than a sojourn in a clear, bracing atmosphere with snow and ice for rigorous pastime ? Among our exchanges the other day one boiler plate newspaper prints a cut ot General Kooth, to which is appended these words: 'Whose chances of regaining his eyesight are rapidly diminishing/ Our keen-eyed scribe looked twice at the words, wondering if the old General bad recrossed the ' great divide.' The mystery was solved when it. was seen to be boiler plate, such has the defunct Courier used to print. A boiler plate newspaper cannot be uptodate because the plate is often delayed a month or two by snow- slides and mudslides. Who wants boiler plate news? Britain and Germany are now working hand in hand to maintain the peace of Europe at the conference in London. If the jingoes will only keep quiet now, permanent resules may be obtained, and Europe once more restored to normal conditions. And who shall say the dawn of universal peace is not at hand. According to the treasury department at Washington, DC, the population of the United States at New Year was 96,496,000. Tbe law requires currency in circulation at the rate of $34.76 per head.

CEMENT PEODUCTION. The production of cement in Canala during the past few years though all classed as Portland, has included and output of Puzzolan cement, made from the blast furnace slag at Sydney, N.S., and a small production of " natural Portland " made at Babcock, Manitoba, 75 Imiles southwest of Winnepeg ou the Canadian Northern Railway.
