The Hedley Cold. Mining Company on Thursday l.Yst declared the usual quarterly dividend for the first quarter ending March 31st, 1911. This dividend calls for the distribution of $60,000, being the regular 3 per cent, quarterly dividend and the hon us of 2 per cent., making a total of five per cent, declared on the issued capital stock of the Company. This brings the amount paid out by the company iu dividends since they took over the mine in Aug ust, 1909, up to $1,2S4,000, or seventy cents more than the par value of the stock. At the ' present time there is more ore in sight than there was when they took over the mine. It was thought by many here that the development for power which is now being carried on would in all probability cut the dividends down for a short while but the reserve fund, which the company sets by- each year, has proved itself equal lo the demand and as yet there is no evidence that this has been reduced to any great amount. < .-The official notice regarding the present dividend reads as follows: HEDLEY GOLD MINING COMPANY ~:r-������--;'-*--- -?i2HBroad^vay- .-.,.*-.���������-���������-������������������ ..;-- New York, December 10, 1913.

The report of the Canadian Department of Mines for 1912 has been received, and it makes possible a few comparisons. Tho total mineral output in 1911 for the whole Dominion was valued at $S0,511,380, and for 1912 at $100,279,427. Both in metallic and non-metallic products there was a marked gain. In the former it was $15,007,330, which was more than 30 per cent.; in the latter it was $10,074,- 714, which was somewhat under 30 per cent. The greatest gain was in coal, which increased $9,55.1,398; the next was in copper, and was $5,831,550. Nickel increased by $3,222,840; gold by $2,807,717; and silver by $2,084,893. iii addition to these items there are structural materials and clay products to be taken into account. These totaled $28,794,809, an increase of $0,085,258 over* the previous year. These bring the total "mineral products for i912 tip to $i3o,()4S,296, an increase of $31,827,- 302 over 1911. It is, unfoi-t.uiiii.tely, unavoidable that such statistic are always a year in arrears; but they are, nevertheless, very useful, because they serve to show not only the general progress of the country, but the variety of its resources. No less than 57 different mineral products are shown in the tables. ��������� ^ The Dominion Treasury has gold in its vaults to the amount of $9S,5,00,00.0, of which $93,000,000 are in Canadian gold and $4,500,000 British gold coinage Several men are washing gold on the Coquihalla river, ten miles from Hope.

During the first seven days of this month Granby smelter treated 23,074 ton of ore, 23,015 tons being from the Granby Mines and 059 tons from other properties. In the same week Gran In- shipped 261,000 pounds of blister copper. Smelter production in the United States in 1913 an'iounfced to 310,670 tons; according to figures collected for the United States Geological Survey, by Mr. C. E. Siebenthan and printed last week. The report of the B. C. Copper Co., operating mines in different parts of Washington and B. C, and a smeltet* at.Greenwood, B. C, for the year ended December 31, 1913, submitted at the Directors' meeting at New York on Tuesday, shows net earning of $111- 833,or 3.7S per cent on the capitalization of $2,958,5-15, as against $120,030, or 14.4 per cent on the capitalization for the thirteen months ended December 21. 1912. The British Columbia's decrease in net profits is due principally to its extensive exploration of new properties during the period covered by the report, together with the fact that heavy payments on several options were made. Production at the Greenwood smelter was maintained during the year at almost the normal rate.

CLEMENT GUILTY OE FRAUD Ottawa, March 16.���������The supreme court of Canada has handed down ii decision lip - holding the judgment of Mr. Justice Cassels in which Mr. Justice Clement, of British Columbia was declared to have committed fraud in charging expenses from Grand Forks While he was living at Vancouver. Abbotsford, March 10. - Five heavily armed foreigners, said to be Italians, held up the Abbotsford branch of the RoyalBank at 10:25 this morning and while two of them stood at the doorway firing their guns in the air, the other forced Teller .7. 13. .lohnston to hand out bills and coin to the amount of $1000 to $2000. The hold-up men then made their escape, the onlookers on the streets pf Abbotsford being so stattied hy the discharge of the revolvers that no one attempted to stop the thugs and they made a clean getaway. An early report had it that the teller was killed by the bandits and that they got away with $3000, but Supervisor H. K. Wriglit, who received an official report here this morning from Manager S. A. Morley of the Abbotsford branch, and who also talked with Teller Johnston oyer the long distance telephone, stated that the loss would not exceed $2000 and was probably well under that sum. "Since the holdups of a few months ago, particularly the Cedar Cottage affair, the Royal Bank tellers and cashiers are instructed only to take out sufficient specie and bills from the vault to do for the days business,"' he exclaimed. "'It is highly improbable that the stuff at Abbotsford had more than $2000 out this morning. In fact. [ w as informed by Manager Morley that while he could not at the time give the exact total he placed it at about $1500." According to the story told by Teller Johnson five men, all of them dark and swarthy in appearance, roughly dressed and heavily armed, rushed into the bank at about 10:30 o'c'Ifick'T" The --staff 'miembers^were 'all behind the counters at the time. Two of them, after shouting unintelligibly, wheeled around and stood at the door facing outside. The other three ran up to the teller's cage and before any one had time to pick tip a revolver the three thugs faced them with guns pointed through the wicket and demanded what they had. Johnson promptly pushed the bills and coin he "had on the counter through the wicket. He had several thousand dollars more in the vault but the holdups weie apparently content with what they had and as soon as they got their hands on the money they ran out through the doorway. As they ran they fired off their pistols and shouted and yelled. As soon as the bank officials could catch their breath they telephoned in to the head office at Vancouver and also sent word to the provincial police. Provincial constable Foster and other nieuthers of the force aie now on the track of the five desperadoes. It did not take the provincial police department in Vancouver long to provide action in the holdup. The report of the Abbotsford rohbery came in to the office here at 11 o'clock and within five minutes Chief Constable Smith, Senior Constable North and Constable Green left in an auto speeding to Abbotsford at about 50 miles an hour. Thu report to the Vancouver provincial police had it that the five bandits were all Italians, tall n\pn and roughly dressed. The bank staff informed the police that the amount of money taken was about $2000. -Very little in the way of an accurate description could be given by the clerks to the provincial police office over the phone as the affair took place so quickly they were hardly aware of what was going on before the hold up was all over. Latest reports say the bandits, in their flight, dropped about a thousand dollars of their booty and this was recovered. Mr. Morley is well known in Hedley having been here in the summer of 1910, acting as manager of the bank here while Mr. Hincks was away on his holidays. BRITISH COLUMBIA'S TIMBER ROYALTIES New Bill Should Encourage Investment of Capital���������It Embodies New Principle British Columbia's timber royalties bill has created considerable interest. According to those responsible for the legislation, there are two important features about this legislation. The first is that it fixes the period of royalty on timber in British Columbia, for forty years, and thus encourages the investment of capital in timber and puts no obstacle in the way of developing the industry. The second is that it embodies an entirely new principle, that of providing that the public shall share with the holders of timber the profit due to the rise in stumpage values. This.is ptovided in the Act by those sections which automa tieally increase the royalty of the lumber price over and above a flat rate of $18. WHAT LONDON DEALERS SAY A London cable message says that leading timber agents there declare that the new bill will have but little effect on the English business in view of the fact that British imports of" British Columbia timber is less than two pel-cent, of the total. This view is expressed among others by Messrs. Foy, Morgan A:.- Company, Lagart. Beaten -, over 1 ineh and up t 27 2S' 29. 3D 31 j B. C's. TIMBER ROYALTY The following article taken from the Toronto Mail and Empire shows, to some extent, what people in . eastern' .Canada thinks of some of British Col- - uiiihia's legislation. ."The magnificent forest areas . of ! . British Columbia are a heritage the .people of that province ought to watch . over .most carefully. .Few provinces ' or states 'are so bountifully endowed. The timber-should ������������������-ba ��������� regarded, as a trust to he administered for the gen- , era I benefit, not mainly as afford in a* opportunity for privileged exploitation. Because, perhaps, the timber resources of the continent have been thought inexhaustible a. sadly mistaken view��������� this principle has never properly imbedded itself���������as a matter ol" cardinal ' policy���������in the. public mind., either in the United Slates or Canada. Tlie output from public or Crown lands under lease has been tixeil by the several Governments, but without any restrictions upon the price charged. The consequence has been, naturally that the users of lumber have had to pay the Government taxes, and there has been no. regulation of the extent to which the public, the owner of the leased limits, could be. bled for its own property. The Government of British Columbia, which has been foremost in l'or- esty regulation, has to take a stand on this mutter deserving of the warmest commendation. It is readjusting the terms of royalty upon which leases are granted. In making substantial increases in the amounts due to the Government it is also undertaking to regluate the lumber prices. The scheme covers eight periods of five years each, the royalties being on a sliding scale. The principle upon which the measuie, which has been laid before the Legislature by the Minister of Lands, is based is that of profit-sharing by the Government in the exploitation of the timber. It proposes to obtain for the Provincial Treasury part of the regulated value of the timber without permitting the amount thus diverted from the pockets of the timber-men to he taken out of lumber consumers. That is the basis of forest adminstratioii on behalf of the people." To the Editor of the Gazette Dear,Sir: On .iny* return to Medley on Snturr- day last I found that the wires fastening the fence around the -Pinto reservation had been cut at the foot of the hill west of Haynes St. and-I'lie,fence thrown down 'while' a team of horses and wagon had been driven in and a considerable number of loads of earth hauled out for use on gardens in Hedley, contrary to law and to,the detriment of the Indians of the Chu-chu- wey-ha reservation. I have had notices posted to prevent a repetition and I ask the 'members of the Hedley. Golf Club.,, the Indians and all others w jura re. fair enough to recognize that the Indian has as iuui:h , right to his holdings as* any white man, to notify constable Sproule, Indian agent, J'.'li. Blown, or myself of any 'fin ther in- f i actions, of the -kind, when without any further warning than the notices and this published letter, the penalties- provided iivthe Indian Act will be put in force.' Under agreement with the Indians made on October ]4tli, 1913, the members of the Hedley Golf Club and any others whom they .may wish to permit us,spectators, may enter the grounds over three stiles provided for in the agi eeineiit. for the purpose of playing golf on the course how laid out. The golf club also have the privilege of driving a team through the Pinto gate, to take in sand for the greens, mow the grass and weeds on the ''fair way" and-do 'what other team work that is necessary to keep the course in order except scraping with, railroad iron as foinierly done. The,Golf Club agreed thai the. Indians retain full 'pasturage rights Tor'-their own stock at all seasons of the year, and the Indians agreed that the golf club piotectt.be greens' with posts and wire, if necessary, from damage by stock. To prevent misrepresentation of my attitude in this matter I wish to point out that at the first meeting of the executive of the Hedley Golf Club last fall, after the agreement had been made with the 1 ndiatis by myself oh behalf of the Golf Club, I reported the agreement entered 111 to; lequested that it be duly entered inthe minutes, and insisted that the Golf Club cany out to the letter and spirit the terms of the agreement, both as to the prompt payment on the first of July of each year of the stipulated yearly rental, and particularly the obligation that the Golf Club bear their share in keeping up the fences bv maintaining close watch that no one be allowed to tamper with them. And even if I had not been on record in this manner I would now be remiss in my duty to permit any violation of the law against the interest of the Indians. To further explain the situation and prevent misunderstanding, the. public should know that no individual Indian can give permission to anyone to remove anything from the reservation, either in the shape of timber, earth or gravel,'withoiit the written consent of the .Superintendent General of Indian affairs, and neither has the chi^f, the band, the Indian agent nor myself the authority to grant such permission without that assent. It will therefore be of no avail to offer the excuse that permission has been obtained from any lessee or any of those in the chain of responsibility already enumerated, to stay prosecution. When the earth was hauled last fall for the rink, although it was not removed from the reserve, 1 disapproved of the manner in which it was taken, for no discretion was exercised either Mar The following are "the read ings showing tei'npe,rature, etc., for : the' week ending.

The honest manufacturer aims to make the best goods he can and to advertise then] so that all the world will know of their merits. He courts investigation. He wants customers to hold him to a rigid accountability. The dishonest manufacturer hopes to profit by deception. He produces .id article that will be offered as "just as good" though he knows it is inferior. He seeks to make a larger profit than the honest manufacturer, and this larger profit is necessary because toe has to find new customers day after day.
