The concentrator is to be of 100 tons daily capacity, and the chief feature of it is the fact that tbe ore concentrates are to be handled by the medium of salt water flotation instead of by the oil process, as has been used hitherto. It is claimed for ; the new process, after exhaustive ! tests, that salt water, besides being | more economical, foams better than 'oil in the process and thereby aids i in better recovery of the concentrates.

It is expected that work will be ordered continued on some of the vessels when the amount of material on hand is reported.

I This makes 13 ship contracts rescinded in the paast two days. ,,' j The total contract price of the thir- i teen vessels was approximately $27,- ; 000,000.

Several weeks ago the shipping board announced a rate of £20 per ton on freight from Atlantic ports to the Orient, which was much lower than that from Pacific; coast. ports. With rates, from Seattle at $2o and $30 per ton, /competition with the east was out of the question on account of the high transcontinental freight rates. A committee representing, the lines operating vessels out of Pacific ports to tlie Orient has practically decided to quote a rate of $15 per ton, it is understood, and the action of the shipping board may bring about a further cut.

When you have half an hour to spare, instead of smoking another cigar that you don't need, sit down and write a few personal letters to customers, who seem to have forgotten your business. Customers are more independent than they used to be. Don't count on getting their trade regularly without, keeping after it. Don't let the talkative customer do all the.talking, and don't talk so much, that the shyer customer will no', feel :. °Z' like butting in ^with any remark. Isaak Walton's advice to fisLiermen was: "Good fresh bait and patience." What better advice can we offer the contractor if we add, "and plenty of advertising." h ■■ T ■ .

Date Issued | 1919-02-19 |
Description | The British Columbia Record was published in Vancouver, and ran from June 1916 to July 1922. The Record was published every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. As the official publication for the Architectural Institute of B.C., the B.C. Builders’ Exchange, and the Building and Construction Industries’ Exchange of B.C., the Record primarily covered news related to building, contracting, engineering, real estate, and industrial finance. The Record was published by the Record Publishing Company, which had previously published the paper under a number of different titles, including the Daily Building Record and the British Columbia Building Record. The Record subsequently evolved into the Journal of Commerce. |
