It being the Development work on the Prince John property is now well under way. The tunnel, which will be driven during the winter, is now in 70 feet. It is expected that the first vein will be cut at a point 250 feet from the portal. This vein shows in the upper tunnel to be 45 feet wide, strikes north 45 degrees east, and leads into a vein of low grade ore 65 feet wide. On the other side of which are two dykes with a lead of high grade ore in between, running parallel to the other leads. This lead, on which depth has also been gained in the upper tunnel, shows to be from 8 to 12 feet wide. On the north half of the John group, on the surface and in the deeper workings, a large quantity of good milling ore h��3 been proved, running from $34 to $45 in gold and ap- postponed annual meeting, the proximately $21 in silver.

No Advertising Accepted for First Page A PEACE EXPEDITION PROFESSIONAL and hysterical pacifists who denounced Lloyd George for sending troops and ships to Turkey, and for asking the dominions whether the empire could count on their support, will now have time to reconsider. So far as can now be seen the British military occupation of the neutral territory and the straits saved Europe from another war. Any form of remonstrance or protest without British arms and ships behind it would have been idle. Assurances of support from Australia and New Zealand were some help in that emergency, and if Canada had joined in them their value would have been increased. We can not know whether the peril has been averted, but if it has the credit belongs to the British empire. wishes and the heartiest assistance should be given to those who are trying to supply the Canadian market with Canadian produce. The Canadian act which authorizes the customs authorities to intervene when foreign fruits and other products of the land are sold in Canada at prices which prejudicially and injuriously affect Canadian producers, should operate effectively at a time like this. In addition, sellers and buyers ought to apply voluntarily the same principles to their own trading. British Columbia fruit growers and gardeners are not getting rich. If western Canada is made a slaughter market for United States surplus goods our own growers are likely to grow poor. It is good business and good citizenship all round for British Columbia producers, traders and consumers to stand together.

This body, which practically continues the Northwest Mounted Police, has been more widely distributed than formerly, and is available for emergencies at times and in places where the local force is not adequate. The government has found that those who wish the force retained are many times more1 than those who desire its destruction. Friends of the Mounted Police are largely in- creased on the prairies during the last few months. Startling bank robberies have heen following each other in the three prairie provinces. They have produced an insistent call for the distribution of a large number of mounted policemen of the familiar type along the frontier and other < localities where banks have been robbed. Everywhere in the prairie provinces the Mounted Police is a popular body and in great demand.
