Members of Collison of Kincolith Chapter, T. O. D. E. visited the Anyox Schools on Monday afternoon to present portraits of H. R, H. the Prince of Wales. At each institution the children were assembled on the grounds, the cere mony beginning with "O Canada" and concluding with the National Anthem. In making the presentations the Regent, Mrs. J. W. Lang touched on the work of the I. O D. E. and its purpose and relation to the work of Empire development. Speaking in reply, one principal expressed the hope that "by cultivating in the young people of the Empire of to day those qualites of personality and citizenship for whioh the world admires the Prince" of Wales, it may be possible for the Prinoe, when he is| oalled to be head of the British Commonwealth, to lead a more highly trained people to even greater achievement." 1 In announcing the release of his Annual Report for 1929, Honorable W. A. McKenzie, Minister of Mines, draws attention to the satisfactory record of continued expansion in the mining industry of the Province. The year was characterized by a new high record for the gross valuation of metals and minerals produced—the figure being $68,245,443, or nearly $3,000,000 higher than in 1928. This increased production was accompanied by a widespread development, and exploration and prospecting were vigourously carried on . in many areas. A record figure of $13,743,- 308 was paid out in dividends by the mining companies of the Province. The Annual Report of the Minister of Mines is a complete record of mining operations in the Province. It contains detailed statistical figures and exhaustive reports by the Resident Engineers and Mine Inspectors; and is compiled by John D. Galloway; Provincial Mineralogist. Until the last two months of the year, metal and mineral production was at a slightly higher rate, in the aggregate, than in 1928, but curtail, ment in November and December resulted in decreased yearly outputs in some of the products of the industry. The explanation of the higher valuation is largely due to the much higher price of copper metal during 1929 and also a slightly higher average price ot lead. The tonnage of metalliferous ores mined in the Province during the year was 6,977,681 tons, as compared with 6,241,310 tons in 1928, an increase of 11.8 percent. By value, the various products of the mineral industry produced in 1929 are ranked in the following order: Copper, lead, coal, zinc, silver, structural materials, gold, miscellaneous metals and minerals. The quantity of copper produced was 101,483,857 lbs., which is a new high record and the first time that the output has been in excess of 100,000,000 lbs.; the valuation at $18,375,682 is also a record figure. Lead output in 1929 was 302,346,- 268 lbs., or only slightly less than in 1928. Owing to a higher market price for lead, the value was more tban a million dollars greater than in the preceding year.

E. MOSS, Editor and Publisher; Radio will provide the most radical departure in campaigning in the approaching federal election. Over 2,000,000 people stretching from the international boundary line to the frozen northern wastes will be able, when the campaign is actively on, to tune in nightly on one or another of the prominent figures in either of the old parties, to hear at first hand a much more complete presentation of the issues than it is possible to gather from necessary condensed reports. There will be national hook-ups for both the Premier and Mr. Ben- ett and there will be provincial hook-ups for them and their chief lieutenants. There will be local broadcasts, in every settled section of the Dominion. What the effect will be upon attendance at the-public meetings remains to be seen. There is, of course.no substitute for personal contact between political leaders and the public whose franchise they seek, but the radio is the most personal of mediums apart from actual contact. Direct mail publicity, persona letters directed to the recipient will largely supplant the general broadcasting of printed matter. There is to be a drive to make the campaign and the issues a matter of direct personal interest to the el ector, to make him feel that he is a shareholder with a material interest in the business of the country and that this election is the "annual meeting" at which he chooses the board of directors who will run his national business for the next four or five years. This Year, of all years, is a period in which the grubstake enterprise should flourish. With millions out of work, more prospectors than ever should be in the hills, hunting for ore outcrops that may make a new crop of millionaires in 1940. The great fortunes in mining were made by grub- stakers and prospecting concerns— a fact which is frequently overlooked in the current hysterical desire for quick profits through stock manipulation of the Wall Street brand. If the 45-billion-dollar stock deflation directs money again into legitimate grubstakes and prospecting ventures, it may prove to have been worth the price.—Spokane Mining Truth, "It was terrible," said Mrs. Murphy. "There were twenty- seven English and an Irishman lost in the wreck." "Indade,"exclaimed Mrs.Grogan. "The poor man.' B. C. Silver Co. May Instal Mill While not yet in a position to talk in terms of positive blocked out tonnage, C. A. Banks, consulting mining engineer, at the annual meeting with the Selukwe Gold Mining and Finance Co. Ltd. in London, stated that it was reasonable to expect that the various ore bodies found at B, C. Silver, adjoining the Premier, would produce between six million and ten million dollars of around $15 ore. Other ore bodies would no doubt be found, he added. Development had now reached the stage when the property was warranted in being equipped with a mill to treat 100 tons a day to begin with and this to be increased to 250 tons as the ore bodies were put into shape for mining and as development warranted. The alternative to equipping the property with a mill would be some satisfactory arrangement with the Premier Co. he pointed out. Granby Big Ore Reserve Copper Mountain H. C. Smith, general manager of the Grandy Company, in a recent address at Copper Mountain, said that while not at liberty to divulge the actual ore reserve at Copper Mountain, there was enough ore to maintain the mine at its normal capacity of 2500 tons daily for many, many years. At present the company employs 375 men at Copper Mountain and 125 at Allenby, with an annual payroll exceeding $1,000,000.

Doctor. "Has there been any insanity in your family?" Mrs. Henpeck. "Yes, there has. You see, it was like this, my husband once thought he was boss, but I soon cured him." No widespread or general depression exists in Canada, though several factors, notably the failure to market our grain and the loss in buying power resulting therefrom, have contributed to a slowing-up of traffic, declared E. W. Beatty, chairman and president of the Canadian Pacific Railway, addressing the shareholders of the company at the 49th annual meeting held early In May. He added that there was nothing of a fundamental character which should prevent the return of normal business conditions within the next few months. Mr. Beatty said, "We have all been hopeful that the first and perhaps most essential change both because of Its psychological as well as its commercial effect, namely, the free movement of grain out ot the country, would be in eyidence during this or next month." At the annual meeting of the Canadian Pacific Railway Company held early this month dividend ot 2% percent, on common stock for quarter ending March 31 last, was declared from fallway revenues and special Income, payable June 30 next to shareholders of record May 29.
