Vanguard Ore Wins First Prize Mr. Morris Petersen was informed a few days ago by the officials of the Vancouver Exhibition that the sample of copper-gold ore from the Vanguard property had carried off first prize at the Vancouver Exhibition, In spite of fierce competition, Alice Arm, has again proved, as on many previous occasions, that this district is second to none in quality and richness of ores. The Alice Arm district has been described as a vast treasure house and the consistency and ease in winning prizes at various exhibitions, conclusively verifies the assertion.

A Visit To Totem Pole Park, Prince Rupert By P. Powell "Look at that lovely park!" On arriving at Prince Rupert by boat or train the first spot to catch the eye is the beautiful Totem Pole Park of the Canadian National Railways. It occupies a slope between First and Second Avenues, and its grass is the richest green we have seen. As laid out it is a gem of artistry. The gardener has worked hand in band with nature, turning to advantage a stump here, a root there, and a rocky barren face as they occur. A bare background is used to enhance the beauty of tall' flowers. Round an old stump are clustered flowers and shrubs which make it a perfect picture. The results of a skilful hand and clever mind are seen everywhere. Winding walks lead to an observatory platform at the top, with restful seats. From this vantage point a glorious view of sea and islands, stretching for miles, greets the eye. Here also is the famous Wolf Totem Pole, which belonged to a Nishga Chief named Dauk, and which stood in front of his lodge at Gitlakdamic, on the Upper Naas River. This striking pole is surmounted by the figure of an Indian Chief holding in his hand a tomahawk. The full legend appears in a glass-fronted cabinet nearby. A very interesting Totem Pple which stands in the park is the "Grizzly." This old and weather- beaten relic is still well-preserved. It was carved by the Haida Indians with their crude native implements over two hundred years ago, and is the oldest known pole from the Indian village of Massett, Queen Charlotte Islands. From the point of attractiveness, the best totem pole in the park is a very tall slender specimen. This pole appears to be of the same thickness throughout its entire length, and its colors and detail are remarkably good. A pair of seagulls are shown seated at the top. An interesting object to visitors is the anchor which was lost from the S. S. Beaver in the Skeena River half a century ago. This was picked up near the old Aberdeen Cannery during dragging operation in May, 1928.

The smelter, however, will not be completed for some time and pending this being aooomplished, concentrates are being shipped to New Jersey for refining. The first ship ment has already been made. In view of the other Rhodesian copper mines coming into production within the next year or so, proposals have already been made for the establishment of a refinery in Britain, iu order to resume an essential industry there which was wiped out during the war, during which period, Europe was supplied from U.S. Manufacturing Is Leading Canadian Industry Ottawa—Manufacturing today is the leading productive industry of Canada with agrioulture coming second, construction third aud forestry fourth, according to a bulletin issued by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics which shows the net production of manufacturing in 1929 at $1,997,350,365. The Bureau places total recorded net production in Canada iu 1929, after deducting duplications, at ,946,609,211 and the gross pro duction at $6,846,171,400. As, however, these figures represent the labors of only 65 per cent, of the gainfully employed in Canada, the Bureau estimates that, taking into account the work of the other 35 per cent, of the gainfully employed.
