A Large and Representative Assemblage���������Reception Tendsred by the Ladies of the Congregation. Ilfv. The Virginia hall, on Wednesday evening, was the scene of a, very impressive ceremony when the Rev. j. A; , Clelland, the lately inducted pastor of the Presbyterian church, was ordained by three ministers of that denomination, viz. Revs. Glassford, Moderator, Trail; Gandier,' Rossland, 'a' d Frew, Nelson. .These were appointed by .the, general Presbytery of Kamloops for the purpose of ordaining Mr. Clelland, also , Rev. Menzies, the latter ceremony taking plaee at Kaslo the next day where he had accepted a unanimous call. Naturally these services have an interest for thc people, particularly, church goers, but no doubt Mr. Clel- ' land's popularity helped in bringing together so many of the different denominations of the city, there being something over 150 present. The 7 ladies as usual t'ook an active, though quiet, part in the affair providing a delicious repast of the, various deli- cacies peculiar to the culinary art, which was heartily partaken of by all present. - ��������� The order oft e service, as nearly as we< can gather it, was: Opening hymn, prayer, etc., followed by a short and instructive sermon by Rev. Frew. Then after calling Mr. Clelland to the platform Rev. Glassford, .in" company Y with his two colleagues and Elder Carney of Kaslo, led in the ordination, ���������which consisted of catechising on thc dogmas and rules of the church. Thc examination being favorable thc three ministers and the elder invoked God's blessing in prayer and by the laying on of hands, ordaining him a minister in Christ's church. Then followed an address to the people by Rev. Gandier, which he commenced by congratulating Mr. Clelland on his good fortune in having such a fine service of praise, as .evinced by the hearty singing of. ', not only the lead, but the congregation; also on havingsuch a heautilnl, commodious place of worship in so new a pince. He further said that it ; was, ae he was informed, to. theYkind-; Bess of a citizen, Mr. Harris, the}* were indebted for the use of the fine hfill and that free. Hoped, though, : they would endeavor to erect a church for themselves and that their good luck would be with them in that tin-, dertaking... ',..'.. ,;.; This brought to a close the first part of the proceedings, and Mr^ Fallows was then called to take the chair, a place���������though not a stout man���������he seems well qualified' to fill. The Male Quartette,.composed of Messrs. Sewell, Webb, Fallows and Bassett, varied the proceedings with a quartette, "There is Rest." ' The chairman then announced that the ladies requested the audience to.break up or rather-divide, into companies, some to file into the council chamber for refreshments the remaining ones to engage in social intercourse. After all had had a taste of the good things provided for the inner man and a good deal of chatting in various groups, the meeting was again called to order. The Rev. Frew being called gave a short and entertaining address, calling to tbe minds of the people the worth of the man they- had secured admonishing them to appreciate him as such. The Quartette then favored the audience with another selection. Miss Skinner in both quartettes ably filled the position of a<;companiest. Mr. Clelland in a briet response to a request rather direful ly laid: out a course of-instruction���������in anecdote���������which he would not be likely to follow. Rev. A. M. Sanford was then asked to give a few words, and, after a kindly reference to his co-laborer, amused the people in his usu? 1 humorous style. The meeting was brought to a close by the singing of the doxology. The Ladies' Aid wish to extend to Mr. and Mrs. Sudrow its thanks and appreciation of their kindness in giving the free use of the kitchen range and other necessaries. Province of British Columbia. 2.

The rcprcscnt- ativc.memhcrs will be the nominees of mining syndicates and companies while any one directly interested in mining can become an associate member on nomination nnd election on thc payment of a subscription. The incorporation of the chamber is to be procured. As n, body through which thc opinions and the requirements of mining men canoe formulated nnd turned to account either by urging legislation or other ways, thii chamber seems to be "worthy of Ihe support of every mining man in the province. It occurs to the Herald, however, that in order to make itself really effective committees of tho chamber should be appointed for each mining district which would be able to keep in ..touch and correspondence with' a central committee, located wherever seemed best to the whole chamber.���������Reveistoke Herald. 8HD0N Ml fill.

'-.A social dance was held in the Virginia hall, on Friday night of last weok, under the auf-pices of the New Denver ore .estni. Quito a, number of, the young people accompanied'''the' orchestra making, with the Sandon. youth and beauty, a select gathering. The introduction ol agreeable visitors into lhe circle of the Sandon .four hundred made a pleasant deviation in the even tenor of its ways. The or-, chestrn, though unable to make al) their instruments chord with the ninno, furnished music that was the subject of favorable comment. Dancing was kept up till 1 a.m., when all dispersed well pleased with the enjoyable evrning. Owing to the non- arrival of the 0. P. R. express Satnrd iy evening the New Denver band were unable to fill their engagement, and as the ice wan soft the carnival was declared off. On Sunday lust one of the periodical ���������now slides at the Lucky Jim ' mine took place, but this time with nrore serious consequences than usual. The locality i������- about eight miles to the east ol Sandon on the K. and S. line. While attending to his duties, as section man W.llolman was overtaken iiy the avalanche of snow, mud and timber. lie saw itcoming.and though he. put, forth his most vigorous effort to get out of the ivay, he was ,..overtaken, and. carried down-; about -forty, feet in.the moving mass of snow and. debris. He might have fared better -.than he did but for a 'limber, that caught him find took him that distance in its 'descent, and pinned.him to a tree below. But. for the timbor striking the tree.no one'..can tell what 'might have happened'.' Wheii extricated it was found Holm an'' had .'three ribs broken and was otherwise seriously if not fatally .injured. He was brought to .the city, where he is placed under medical treatment- and special care. - How his case may terminate; it is difficult to say, though the doctor is hopeful. ,;���������. Poor Forlorn Kootenay. Three Ways. Town of Roseberry. ��������� A Roseberry correspondent informs us the C. P. R. ears di I not run into the lake at that point as reported some days ago. Instead of being shallow the water is 75 feet deep at the slip. The plans for the ore sampler have reached ths town.' .Tho'building is to, be70xl24 feet, modern in all essentials, and will be under construction in a very short time. A wharf will be built on the lake to handle ores from all points on the lake and C. P. R. tracks will he built on each side of the structure. The C. P. R. have erected a, large ice house, and are filling it, ns rapidly as possible. Chief Ei.ginoer Christie's house is nearly completed.. He will move in on the loth. .Altogether tbe prospects of thc place are looking very bright. There are three ways to most effectually build up a city. The first is for every man in busiiiets to handle everything from bullheads and codfish to jewellry, including dry goods, hardware, patent medicines and stationery This enables every business house to do ALL the bnsincs*) of the place, and all thereby gee rich: The next, step is for all private parties,as well as public officials,.to hire single men instead of married men with families, for all offices and positions, even though the married men are better qualified for the duties, as this keeps out superfluous population ; and, of course, no place requires a largo population. The next thing is for all residents who are not in commercial business to send outside, to Eaton's in Toronto, for instance, for everything they want, ns this crushes out extra business men, and drains the place of surplus cash. These three methods of success have been tried in various places in Canada, and they have never been known to fail in accomplishing the desired end. An eastern lady who has'-visited many of tbe Kootenay towns writes disparagingly of some of them saying, "they can be nothing but what the mines make them." My, oh my ! Pray what can any town in Canada be but what its surrounding resources make it? This is dreadful. A Kootenay town should not raise its heaci above earth unless it is'suiroundcd by ;trie' shipping of Liverpool, the manufacturing of. Birmingham,' the. agricultural surroundings of a central prairie town, the painting, music and sculpture of an Italian City, the fashic ns of Paris and the winters of Dawson City. With all these, according- to the revis d version of that lady's letters, a Kootenay town might be something with the mines thrown in. Notes From the Gazette. The last British Columbia Gazette contains the registration of the following extra-provincial -companies':, ., The Byron N.'White company, with it capital stock of ������500,000 ; head office in Sandon, and Bruce White as attor- "<������������������}*��������� - ..'',' '���������".'' . ./' Gold Hill Mining company, with a capital stock of .-"500,000 ; head office in Rossland,,and J.

Gold & Silver Mining co pany ; capita] .81,000,000; .with head-office at; Kaslo, and William Hastie as attorney. nonsense into the same space than the Victoria correspondent of .the Rossland Miner has put into the foregoing.' It may be that the .opposition ' is at heads and tails as a party, aB tbe correspondent puts it, but that offers'-'no exoneration:'for any weakness, of the, government. It may also be, as that writer put it; that the parliament buildings , were completed economical! v, but that is no argument, for their erection at all, and certainly none for their erection in the city of ���������Victoria. Originally what is now called British Columbia constituted two provinces with''two governments, and if the Islanders persist in playing their dog in the manger pranks, it may be.two provinces again. Then why the erection of so costly a building for "Islanders" convenience alone?. It is true the province has the natural re-ources, prospective; wealth' and guaranteed future before it that the Miner's scribe says it has ; but, surely he will not say it is the handiwork of the Turner government that is to be thankee,! for .that; thoug the scribe insinuates th. t it is. There is no dqubt'but, tiif.t British Columbia-',is' going' to, be the brightest jewel ��������� in the crown of the Canadian Confederation ; but that brightness, has to result from the development of tbe resources 'of the mainland ; and here we have a Victorian scribe endorsed by a Rossland editor, justifying the placing of a millstone around the neck of our future.- What is palpable is the parliament buildings are in the wrong place for the convenience of the Baitish Columbia people, artd, therefore, an unjustifiable extravagance. The argument of the correspondent summed up is this : Nature has done wonders for British Columbia in giving it resources that must lead to great wealth���������therefore, the government is justified in; extravagance find defensible in erecting their public buildings where access to them by the ^multitudes,.,'is ..attended with the greatest cost - and inconvenience. " Blessed be those.who see that way. With Scissors and Pen. The Charleston ; has made a ment from its new strike. ship- The Tariff mine near Ainsworth will most likely supply the smelter at Pilot Bay with ore. ��������� 7. Tne Two Friends mine near Slocan City has shipped 22 tons of ore avering ;S120 to the ton. Howard Fraction mine yields 187J ozs. silver and 1.14 ozs. in gold to the ton, a total of $166.93. The great British American Corporation at Rossland seems to be getting its hands into the Slo-an also. Rumor credits it, with designs on the Slocan Star and the Whitewater. Ferguson and Caldwell report that an option has been given on the Carbonates in Jackson basin for $75,000 to Chicago parties, who will soon erect a $40,006 concentrator. ' ��������� , r Whitewater and surroundings are attracting much attention lately. The recent-strike in the Charleston, and fine developments in the Elkhorn and Hillside, are drawing many people to the town. The'recent strike on Sunset No. 2 at Rossland, has widened to a four and a iiairfcY6tW(f body. Each blast shows an increase in width pf ore and it is thought the stock will prove a phenomenal one. A Comparison. Extra Local Items. B. C. Trade Figures. The Chamber of Mines. On February 15th a meeting will be held in the Hotel; Vancouver at Vancouver to adopt a constitution for, the new B. C. Chamber of Mines. As will be se<-n by the following list of., the chief objects of the the Chamber's work, its scope will be both extensive and useful: 1. To promote aiid protect the mining interests and industries of the British Columbia's exports included nearly nine million dollars worth of minerals to the United Stat- s. Tot-a exports were 814,000,000. against S10 500,000 in .1896. DOES YOUR FOOD DO YOU GOOD i ��������� , ��������� If you have dyspepsia your food cannot do all the good it should. B. B.

S. says : "Burdock Blood Bitters made a complete cure in my case after Iliad suffered for two years from dyspepsia. I believe it cannot fail to cure." Hire or Build? Hire. We give elsewhere, the substance of a proposition made by the Sandon Electric Co, for heating (he public buildings, lighting the town and supplying water for fire and other purposes. Having put on incorporation clothes there is no way out oi it now but to face the music. Tbe company have for a considerable time, at their own expense, supplied, the place with water for lire'purposes and light for public uses, and now the taxpayers of thc place must assume the responsibility. To some the offer may appear high; but there are only two ways from which the matter can be viewed, viz. the lowest offer ol the company, and tlie interest on tl^; cost of another system supplemented by tlie cost of management, wear, tear, etc. When the two propositions are considered, there is but one conclusion to reach ancl that is the offer of the company is the better one for thc city at present. It may be that fewer lights and fewer hydrants than are suggested, would Vancouver is to have a new Liberal paper. This is but a poor compliment to the World after its slobbering .ifter PaP- Hunter Bros.have purchased tho.balance'of Ardery and Brewster's grocery stock, and are moving it up to their own store. , The British Columbia Gazette of Jan. 27th. contained a. notice of the appointment of Dr. Symonds to-be medical health officer of the Provincial jail, Nelson. Mr. W. H. Lilly received notice last night from Victoria of his official appointment as nolice magistrate for the City of Sandon. Mr. E. M. Sandilands and Mr. H. H. Pitts were appointed respectively police and license commissioners. When thc Flansard report reaches this office we will copy the speech of Hon. G.E.Foster referring with great force to the superiority of the mining interests of West Kootenay over those of Klondyke; He disapproves of the Teslin Lake Railway which Sir Charles endorses. It is said that, thc Dunsmuirs now that they have a taste of Slocan property in the Noble Five mine, are negotiating to purchase other interests in that vicinity*. All that is wanted is capital to make tho1 Sandon section a hive of industry turning in large revenues to investor.";. At a mass meeting recently held at Cascade City, B. C��������� a committee w-is appointed to draft a petition o be forwarded to the Dominion parliament asking that a franchise be granted the. Kettle River Valley Railroad (D. C. Corbin's which petition was drawn up, signed by 90 persons and forwarded. A well known Spokane businessm:.n who was in the city this week, made the following comparison, in the course of a conversation on the business situation in this camp. - "You folks" ho said, "have no cause for complaint. Looki'al thc Trail district for instance, at Rossland there are 5,000 people: The business is divided between more than three time* as many merchants as you have,and the tonnage of, that camp is only about one-quarter what yours is, yet they are not complaining." The Kootenaia-i publisheB the fore- gcing with a flourish of trumpets. Now will that paper have the goodness, once, for all, to publish the actual tonnage of the Kaslo camp? We would very much like to know just what shipments'of ��������� re there are from the Knslo camp, actually mined there. Gil! Gounci -it-o-������ The Parliament Buildings. UNDOUBTED EVIDENCE. Gentlemen,���������I am pleased to recommend your Laxa-Liver Pills for constipation, dvspepsia and sick headache. I hare used them for those troubles, and find them a pleasant, su.-e and structure of less beauty quick cutre, free from the annoying griping of other pills I have heretofore used. Signed, H. James St. Nicholas Hotel, Hamilton, Ont. Interest in the opening ceremonies on Thursday next of the new provincial parliament buildings increases daily. Referring to the new buildings it may be said that here again the opposition find "the feet knocked from under them." While it is well known that a larje section of the people on the mainland disapprove of the large expenditure on the parliament buildings, the argunipnt advanced by the oppositionists in.the house that the undertaking was unwarranted was unjustifiable in the light of recent events, falls somewhat flat. Even the-stivuchest friends of the administration were compelled to admit that, at the time the project was Iirst mooted critics were justified to a certain extent in protesting against such a large expenditure of money at a time when depression prevail everywhere and the province was heavily in debt. But the situation is entirely different^ No country in the world has a more splendid future,ahead of it than British Columbia; no country can boast of enjoying at tha present time greater resources or more wonderful possibilities. With this changed condition of affairs, therefore, the government can justly maintain that, aside from all that was said at the time the contract loi.tlie parliament buildings Was let, time has now exemplified the wisdom of the government's eclion, and that a and magnificence would not be suitable for such a splendid province. It would be very hard indeed to put more clap trap and well varnished The regular meeting of the ��������� council was held Monday evening last when a^l the members were present. The minutes of previous meeting were read and adopted. A communication from Rossland inviting the council to attend the winter carnivitl-^-there,-'���������was replied to with thanks.' .7 A.'sb an .offer from the. Sandon Water and Light Co., for supplying the city was read. Several by law were read a first time. A SPECIAL MEETING. The city council held a special meeting Thursday evening, and put through the dog tax, money borrowing, road tax, city pound, fire by-laws. A telegram was read from the Provincial Secretary endorsing the recommendations of the counil for police magistrate and license commissioners. The tender of the Electric Light and Water Works Co. offering the hydrants at ������15 a. piece per month was accepted on motion of Crawford and Switzer. The solicitor was authorized to draw up a contract.' Hunter���������Crawford -That the offer of Harris and Kellp to heat the fire hall at So per month was accepted. The question of lighting the city was left over for nextm.ee ing on motion of Hunter and Cunning. On motion of Hunter andt Broddy the clerk was instructed to get the solicitor's opinion as to the power of the council to cancel existing licenses and re issue t em in terms of the city by-laws. L. Doolan, G. Lloyd, C. A. Murchi- son, AV. H- Houghton, ancl J. R. Brown applied for office of chief of police. A bllot was in favor of Doolan, and he was recommended to the commissioners at a salary of $100 a month. Council adjourned. ' Hon. CH. Mackintosh for the British American Corporation has purchased the Argentunil mineral claim on the east side of th north fork of Salmon; river, twelve miles from the Nelson & Fort Sheppard railway. ..'.It has been rumored for some time that an option, was placed on the Star mine, and latlely it is said the Mcln-' tosh syndicate have the option. It is of course, hard to verify these rumors as rarely either party will give the information. The Lucky Jim mine has closed down by laving off a force of 30 o>- 35 men. The suspension of operations is ascribed to the necessity of altering the mill in order to more successfully handle the zinc contents of the ore. It is said that operation will be resumed again with the early spring. So far in 1898 the value of the mineral -exports from -Southern Kootenay through the port of Nelson amounts to ������1,429.262. During the month January they amounted to S1,193,45S, an increase of almost 100 per cent, over that of January 1897. From present indications there is every reason to believe that the output of the mines of Southern Kootenay will be over $15,000,000 in the year 1898. MINING RECORDS.

SUIVv-'-TTKlN S2.U0 P.I-K -YEAK !'-.���������, Stiuctly in" Advnace MINERAL FORMATIONS. 1-1 ere tofore.' the the6ry.:fdr'���������the 'forni- ' ation of minerals.say silver and .gold for instance, in the cracks of rock, was that -' they were originally held in .solution; - water in and in that condition dropped ���������' into' breaks' in the earth under the sea. This earth was in turn converted into ���������rock, and in time the rock was thrown .yup by internal force; and the mineral,' ������������������in it as they are .found,'.to-day.. This theory, however, is disproved by. the facts, as iiV'many cases the sides .of leads are worn as smooth as a ploughshare, showing they were forced upward while hardening by cooling, and the smoothness occasioned, by friction ; with' the side rocks, ,'l.t is also,shown' in most instances, .that, the lower down a seam is struck the large fit is,'and the purer tlie, metal, which : goes to further establish tlie'latter theory. It ��������� is true that in some cases 'seams -'pinch out," and no trace of them are found by further excavation; but this nv.ty. .be the result of a-second eruption breaking the seam from its original ���������"���������"start towards the centre of tlie earth, and separating' it from.its original '��������� source of supply. The supply from a 'central source can be accounted tor in ; Wilis'way : That . in the formation of the rocky crust'of��������� the earth. ^e of the original elements of whit miner- .als are composed ,\vere labs'orbed'' on .employed, to any great extent���������they . were dropped as it]were for a later formation centrally/ This later formation, or layer of minerals, surrounding the central ball of fire, has long remained in .t molten,condition, and only reaches the surface ,'of the earth "when driven'-'up through breaks in the superficial rocks , .by internal forces. ..This would, go' to establish the fact that gold, and silver are found where- ...ever'there have been internal erup- . tions, but more particularly in regions of volcanic formation/ and actual1 dis- coveiy appears to verify the statement., By aiid by, "in ages from now, when -the prairie country is thrown up, the inhabitants oi/ those regions will, be hunting in the rocks for the precious metals as we"nre hunting for them to- ,,.day, that is if the usages of future ��������� days call for gold and'silver as the .basis of the currency in use. Mines like the Wonderful here��������� collections of float ore���������can be accounted for on the hypothesis that in past ages rapid streams met at these points and deposited their collections there from leads pulverized by the process of nature and washed into locality, by running waters. WHY NOT TRY IT ALSO. .'We see by the Nelson, Rossland and Slocan City papers that these places have had delegates,' in some of. the instances self constituted, interviewing the local government, and, after urging claims for grants, report unvarying success. . Of course it is , 'the duty of the sitting member of each constituency to press the needs of all portions of his territory on the attention of the government. This constit- >uency is so large and unwieldy that it is a difficult matter for one man to know it all. There is then apparently ho means of getting justice except .through the'log-rolling system. Sandon has done more for the provincial treasury in the way of licenses and other sources of revenue than any other place in the Kootenay, and there is no place that has been more neglected. We have no record oflice, no jail or court house, and no expenditure of any moment has been made on bridges or roads.leading into thc city. Everything that has beendone has been done by the people themselves. We would suggest that the city council at once send an intelligent delegation to Victoria to press the needs of the place upon the government, in an intelligent, forcible manner. When the places we have named have succeeded through delegates, there is no reason why Sandon should tail. As an election is shortly to be held much more can be done now by a delegation than later on. The council will be sadly remiss in their duty, if they do not do this at once. country against' the monopoly elause in"that contract���������tying, as they used to declare, the country neck and heels to the apron-strings of that soulless corporation. And now what have we ? Disguised as it may,be, the contract with McKenzie and -Mann , for the Stickien-Lake Teslin railway is 'nothing more or less., than a contract with the C. F.7R., as time will prove j and' that contract' has in' it,,,a mon6poly clause in precisely .the same language as the old C. P. R. monopoly ' the Grits yelled, themselves hoarse in de-. iioiinciiig. ��������� Can consistency of the political character-go farther? It was very wrong, for.the Tories to give the C.-R-..R'. a monopoly-on one, branch; bui'it.is all right lor "the' Grits to give them one orr another,' and the hireling Grit press will defend them in it. ; 'The Rossland Miner '..speaks, of lv A. Ueizie's railways, real and projected, as constituting a competitor" wilh the C. P. R. in , the Kootenay. This is the story of '"the frog and the ox" over nnd, over, again.. It is all very right for private or public enterprise to build roads anywhere in the country, tliat,, are required to. develop it, whether the C. P. R. is there or not; but the idea, of ���������competition was fully exploded by the advent of the N.l'.R. inlo Manitoba. Up' to the time Of tlie construction of the latter,-the C. P. R. had annually reduced its rates on exports and imports,; but as soon as the NY P. R. was built joint rates were agreed on that have never since been changed. "'The'history rihere- shows also that on several occasions'the C." P. R. has made substantial cuts in its charges, but when the second system is built, we niay look for an amalgamation of .rates' that wi.ll.be irrevocably fastened on the country." It would hot be amiss if the Koo-' tenay country, at its own expenss, was to send some good man to Victoria during the session ofthe House, to watch 'our local interests. As the matter stands, this whole section of country has but a couple of representatives iii the House, and be they as capable and as wide awake , as they maybe, the territory is ' too large-for their attention. This Kootenay section is the wealth bearing district of the country���������-it is upon this the future of the'country must mainly centre, aiid yet but little has been done to develop its resources. It wants more attention, more public roads, .more government offices, and more expenditute.lo assist in bringing its wealth to the market: and from indications but little need be hoped for in this direction, without belter leverage in the legislature of the country. Ogilyie's estimate places the gold production of the Yukon at-$ 10,000,- coo for 180S, and subsequent years. At this rate the 50,000 people going there will secure $200 each -per vear. That will be a nice bonanza for the privations they will have to endure there,for a twelve month. A' MINING DEAL.

' No matter how obstinate the cough, how severe the cold. Norway Pine .Syrup will euro and cure quickly. No other remedy equals' it in curative power over throat and lung troubles. We believe O.K. Brown was one of the discoverers.of the Reco mine in 1892, and to know that he is to thefore in Central America as the following prospectus of a mine will show, may bo of interest to old timers : Mr. (!. K.-Brown, a mining expert of excellent standing, reported for the company,before it acquired the property, as follows : "The, Tunkybin Gold Mine comprises about fifteen acres. J have found that tho ledge extends up to tlie phenomenal width of 50 feet, and a length of 1,000 feet; that there are 4O,(K0 tons of battery ore in sight, and that an average yield of 20 pennyweights.per ton of ore may be realized. Even if in a very conservative spirit, we assume that the average yield will be only 12 penny weights,it is still very evident that great profit would be realized. "Economy in working the mine is secured by (1) the great width of the vein, which obviates the necessity for a large amount of "dead work;" (2) the proximity to water. The Tuhky river Hows within 3,000 feet of thc mine, and fill supplies can be cheaply, and quicKly transported by water; (3) labor is cheap ; provisions can be had at a reasonable figure, and half the expense of feeding labor is curtailed by the company's garden, in which grow, the year around, vegetables and native fruits of all varieties. Tho average temperlure is about 80degrees, making it possible to mine every day in the year, These are great advantages in mining economically.
