Tn many respects the fyear ending Novembpr 30th, 1907,;has been  the most trying and ^hajrdest ever  experienced inthe history, of your  company. In the winter of 1906-7  the .'Northwest was subjected for  many weeks to the most fierious  fuel famine ever known.?- Fuel was  so scarce-at times that iii iprder to  secure even a meager supply -of ore  from the mines to yonr smelter,  our company . had to f Ornish the  railroad -company withi;-coal ;' in  order to carry On its local '.traffic.  When this fuel famine' was relieved, it was too late tfa hiarket  our production at the higher prices  for copper current in the earlypart  of ,1907,, owing to. a great shortage  of cars a,ndtheN,fact that onr copper is paid for at quotations of a  snbsequent'clate to its /shipment.

At the  time this, dividend was declared  we could not'foresee the financial  crisis which overcame the entire  country^ and the unprecedented  decline in the price of copper,  which by the month of October,  1907, had fallen-to about half the  price at which it was selling when  tbe dividend was declared.

Rev.'John Hart, D.D..Bishop  of New Westminster, will preach  at both the morning and evening  service, 11 a.m. and 7.30 p.m.  After referring very favorably  to the, tunnel project in Greenwood, the Rossland Miner in the  following editorial discusses a  similiar tunnel scheme there and  also has something to say of the  general success of such tunnels  This enterprise recalls the l��ng  tuunel that was projected inthe  early days of Rossland by the late  J. B. McArthur . between Trail  and Rossland, Mr. McArthur at  that time was interested in the  water power at Bonnington Falls  and proposed to turn it into electrical power with which to drive  the machine drills in-making the 1  long bore.  ���The plan is just as practical as'  it was when first projected. Such  a tunnel Would tap the mines at a  depth of from 1800to 2000 feet.  There are two routes which the  tunnel could follow: One could  cut through Lookout mountain  and intersect first the south and  then the north belt, while the other could be run so as to tap the  north belt alone and the south,  belt could:be reached from it by  lateral crosscuts. ' In following  either bf the two courses a large  number of leads would doubtless  be encountered and it is reasonably certain that some of theni  would be'blwd leads:'tlfat ts-leads  which doj not outcrop on the surface, As the tunnel would strike  the ledges at such. a depth they  would be far below the area of  surface disturbance and would'be  strong, well defined and easy to  follow. A great advantage would  be that the ore could be transpor.  ted from' the leads to the smelter  at Trail at a considerably less  cost than at present, as there  would be no grades to overcome'  in the tunnel. Title as to many  mineral claims as possible along  the route would have to be secur-  ed before the work was inaugurated, in order to secure reasonable advantage from the undertaking. The project is one ��� that  promises to yield adarge profit to  whoever will carry it out, and  that it will be taken hold of by  the enterprising before long seems  to be reasonably certain. Some  day, in the not distant futi.re, ii.  is possible the people of Rossland  and Trail will be surprised by the  announcement that a company  has been formed for the purpose  of boring the Rossland-Trail tunnel, just as the people of Phoenix  and Greenwood were by the recent announcement that the two  places were to be connected by a  three-mile bore.  Long tunnels have been common in the history of the United  States. The Sutro tunnel was  one of the first of these long mining tunnels. It was constructed  principally for the purpose of taking the water from the Cotnstock  lode at Virginia city, Nevada. It  was built in tbe middle seventies  of the last century,and was 20,033  feet in length. Adolph Sutro,  who was the builder of the tunnel  laid the foundation for a very  large fortune from the money he  made from this tunnel. Since  then a number of much larger  tunnels have been constructed in  the United States to reach ledges  at depth and to keep mines free  from water, and in nearly every  instance they have proved ^profitable to those who made them..

Another car will  be ready to leave about tbe 10th  of,March. That will make three  cars since'January 1st and four  since Mr. Wood started work on  the mine last summer. If there  were proper railroad facilities for  the West Fork, the Sally could  ship regulary and steadily.  On the Tip-Top, where the electric hoist from the Prince Henry was put in operation a month  ago, the ore is improving steadily  in the shaft which is now down  about 95 feet.

Surely the Japanese question it  That ii tke situation. Does  not every consideration of patriot-  ionv demand that it should be left  in tbat way? On behalf of the  government of Britian Columbia it  is fair to acknowledge that it is  has to deal with a public opinion  that will listen to reason, and certainly it is reasonable that the  difficulty should be settled In a  way that will effect the desired  purpose withoutbeing offensive to  Japan. In view of nil tke facts,  would it not be an act of good  cittzenship to withdraw the bill  now before the British Columbia  legislature ? It is not difficult to  see that both sides are Inclined to  use it as a pawn in the political  game. What both sides should  do is to leave the Dominion gov-:  ernment te teal with it unharras-  sed. Tke British Columbia representatives in parliament have  set a good examples They have  taken tke course which commends  itself as patriotic. It is the course  which perhaps antagonizes the  racial prejudices of the moment.  Their constituents may endeavor  to punish them for it. If so it  will be as honorable to them as  kis rejection by tke electors of  Edinburgh was honorable to Ma-  caulay. It is perhaps not fair,  however, to credit the people of  British Columbia with intentions  William Jennings Bryan, the  other day, spoke to an audience  of over 2,000 students in Convocation Hall at the University of  Toronto. The theme of Bryan's  address lay in the famous line���  "How prudently most men creep  into nameless graves,' while ��� now  and then some great one forgets  himself into immortality." It is  delightful to hear the old note of  the rejected philosophy of Christianity, sounded full and clear by  a man who is in the thick of  things political, in a land where  all the air is contention tost and  reverberating with repealed and  insistent charges of malicious betrayal of confidence.  the last question that should bej*ttd ��entiments which they  may  not entertain.   At all events,' let  made the subject^ of party controversy. The great bulk of onr  people are agreed upon tke facts.  They want to preserve tke good  feeling tkat exists between tke  two peoples. In the conflict with  Russia every chord ot Canadian  sympathy chimed with Japan.  But the civilization and tke ideals  of the two peoples are separated  and not assimilable. Canadians  are almost to a man, therefore  opposed to a large influx of Japanese immigration. They are  not, however, disposed to go to  the extreme of forbidding it altogether. This is all the less necessary because the Japanese government is voluntaril y set upon  limiting it to proportions that  might be regarded as negligible.  The criticism is made that we  should not need to rely on Japan  for immunity on so vital a matter.  But surely we lose no power over  the situation by trusting to tke  promises and good neighborhood  of the allies of Britain. If these  fail ns we still have left the remedy of giving notice for tbe termination of the treaty���denouncing it, as the phrase is.  it be said once more that tke clear  duty of tke legislature of British  Columbia is to leave the Federal  government to handle the Japanese difficulty unimpeded and unembarrassed.

That 200,000 pounds of  copper should have been exausted  long ago, but still quotations,  hover pretty close to 13 cents. At  this figure there are neither high  wages for the miner uor big profits  for, the stockholders. Its about  time for a change.  The report of the Commission  on Irrigation has been presented  to tke British Columbia government. In Professor Carpenter's  section of it, he says : "Undoubtedly nearly all the valleys and  benches at an elevation of less  tkan 2000 feet may be turned into productive land of high value,  particularly if water can be supplied." His estimate of the land  in Southern British Columbia capable of being so developed at present is "several hundred thousand acres,">but he admits that this  question "is larely an economic  one and thus tke limit ckanges  from year to year. Land which  cannot be developed now, under  changed conditions, might justify  development.''

On June  30, 1%��, the date of the latest  statistical report issued by the  Interstate Commerce Commission,  the railways ot the United States  had an aggregate QJength of 218,-  101 miles and a total capitalization of $11,167,105,992 or at the  rate of $51;457 per mile of- line.  An average per mile on European  railways, which have a total  length of 151,918 miles is $123:268  while Great Britain's average is  $261.535. Canadian railways have  a capitalization of a little under  $60;000 per mile. The author  quotes various authorities among  whom is President Hadley, of  Yale,'to sustain his argument  ���that A merican Railways including it is supposed, equipment of  all kinds, could not be reproduced  for an average of $50,000 a mile.  The writer also says that more  than one third of all railway  shares and more than one sixteenth of all railway bonds  brought no return to their owners,  during the most prosperous period  of American history.  By Thomas W. Lawson and by  the ordinary magazineNwriter of  the States, the mind of the public  has been simply saturated with  the idea that all is corruption and  rottenness in the financial system  of their country. The thing is  bearing its results in a profound  lack of confidence in the financial  institutions of the country which  affects not only them against  whom it is directed but indirectly  touches, everyone and reduces the  country's power to recover-from a  period of distress.  If it is true, what is being suffered today is simptyjthe pain that  marks the eradication of the disease. If it is not true, the critics  have inflicted a severe, most culpable, and exceedingly unpatriotic  attack attack on the best-interests  of their country.    "Which is it ?  , The District Ledger of Fernie  wants "to see all the foolish, ill���  erate, anarchistic, and * selfish  motives aad sayings" of the socialist party stopped. Complaining of many who are "abusive of  the present conditions, it says :  'They do not think an<l work  quietlj and properly to attain  their ends. They go blustering  aloud about this man- who has  accumlated wealth and that man  who is owner and controller of  such add such." All we can say  to the Ledger is this, "Morepbw-  er to your elbow.". When, the  Socialist party comes to itself in  this way, eyery good man will be  ready to think afyout and  discuss  ��� i  Socialism. But the editor of the  Ledger will find tbat it is a far  cry from where many of his comrades stand, to this mile post.  The following is one of the  amendments to the Municipal  Glauses Act*which is under discussion in the Provincial House  at the present time. It affects'  the power of the Council to legislate on the wood question :        ^  (104b.) To regulate the mode  of sale and delivery of cordwood,  including cordwood brought into  the city from outside the corporate. Imits, and to require all cordwood sold to be delivered in vehicles with racks so measured and  adjusted as to contain' 'a cord of  wood, and for compelling the delivery by the seller A to the purchaser of a ticket correctly stating the measure supplied, and for  compelling measurement at the  City Market by an official, and  payment of a reasonable fee, and  giving of tickets of measurement,  and for the marking of such cordwood, and for the,keeping of records by such official, and for re;  gulating the mode of loading  cordwood on vehicles; and for  providing penalties for obliterating or defacing tbe mark placed  on cordwood by any official, or  the alteration or destruction of  any ticket.-'and the breach of any  regulation.  !*�������������� ************** >�����������]  ENTITLED TO PARTICULARS  .

Mr. Bowser is one of the shrewdest politicians in British Columbia and he never makes a play in  parliament except for political  advantage. He knows as well as  the people of British Columbia  know that this act will not be endorsed by the Dominion and that  is the reason that he has pushed  the matter through the house.  There are Imperial reasons why  this act will not be endorsed by  the Dominion parliament, and n'o  one understands those reasons  better than Mr. Bowser, but he  has taken this act and forces it  through parliament for the purpose of making political capital  for the party's use.
