In the lode mines there wat alto a good inoreaae, althongh under the head of gold there wu a tlight deoreate. There were 222, 042 ounces of gold valued at 14,689,608 in 1904, compared with 2118,831 ouncea, valued at 14,812,1)16 in 1903. Id silver there wat tn inoreaae latt year.

Tht coal production of the province in 1904 increaaed somewhat over that of 1903.

Interesting Time Before Escapl ng With Hit Charming Bride. The Herald hat received by wireless telegraph from its tpecial representative in Toronto a fsw heretofore unpublished details io connection with the Howte- Campbell wedding. Tht fragmentary nature of our wirelesa report it due to the newness of the tervice. So ftr as can be made out Fred had an interesting time before escaping with bis oharming bride, and had to run the gauntlet of all the old and numerous, entirely new and original devices calculated to edify the newly married and entertain their friends. If Fred had but had hit tix thooter there might have been a different story to tell, but he hadn't. Rice and confetti ahowered copioutly around the New York pullman, by a thoroughly live party of farewellera, it not calculated tn improve tbe appearance of the car, the equimanity of the porter, or leave in doubt the newly marnediiete nf the departing couple. It it a good plan to keep your suit tiaes locked, confetti bat tuch a way of sticking, and rise ia so embarrassing, but then you know bridesmaids will Cud out a way. They go on the principle of "spare the confetti and spoil the honey moon " From til appearance that honey moon mutt have been a success by an overwhelming majority. It wat a great day for the cabmen. In fact thot* cabbies wore the "smile that won't come off" To be 6rst "fired" by the open handed British Columbian on tbe undemanding that there should be no fust and feathers or nonsense, and later "persuaded" by the best man and hia bunch who coveted tht impish delight of decorating the bridal carriage with white ribbons and old shoes. What more could the cabbies desire. After all, if tbe easterners know how to throw rice and confetti, the westerners know how to reoeive such honors with all due equimanity. The collected de meanor and smiling countenance fails them not; rising indeed to the stern occasion even of frock coat and -;,k hat, or replying to that strangely new and embarrassing toast, "Mrs. Howse and myself." The east withet the young couple every success.
