The Csmadian government which has had two coast geodetic survey steamers on the work tor the last several months, lias completed sounding's for a chart of the waterways in the vicinity of Hidden Creek, and buoys and targets are now being placed to mark the channel into Granby bay, where the ore docks, smelter and power plant of the Granby Smelter company are located, according to J. P. Graves, vice president of the Granby company, who has just returned from a 10 days' trip to Hidden Creek. A postoffice and telegraph station, in charge of the company surgeon, lias been established in the Granby offices, and three steamship companies, the Grand Trunk Pacific, the Canadian Pacific and the Union, the latter operating in connection with the Great Northern railway, have installed agents at Hidden Creek and are putting steamers on a regular schedule between that place and Seattle, Vancouver and Victoria. The name of the harbor has been changed officially by the government from Goose bay to Granby bay, and hereafter the latter name will appear on all the government maps and chart.. TO COMPLETE PLANT IN YEAR . "Everything is progressing splendidly at Hidden Creek, and we expect to have the smelter, power plant, railway and' all the other equipment at the.mines built and in and the power plant and will begin both contracts simultaneously. "The railway lines from the wharves to the mine and the smelter has been located and the construction contract let, with the understanding that it is rushed to completion. The quarters for the engineers and the bunk and mess houses for the men are completed and an electric light plant, to furnish illumination in the mine and at the smelter and dock sites, where work will be prosecuted day and night, is being installed. The plant is but temporary and will be abolished when the permanent power plant is in operation. I1ASTI-N WORK ON DAM "A wagon road from the landing to the dam site on Hidden Creek, a mile distant, is practically completed, at a cost equal to what it would require to build a railway, and material for the dam is being taken in. It is expected that the power barrier will be completed in a few months. "We now have 200 men at work in the Hidden Creek mines and the property is showing up far beyond our expectations. Every upraise, tunnel, drift and crosscut is in ore, and there is every reason to believe they will excel our Phoenix proper- tics, both in tonnage and ore values. We already have between 4,000,000 and 5,000,000 tons of ore in sight in the workings and the diamond drills show not less than twice as much more in which not a foot of development has yet been done. We have an enormous deposit there and I sincerely believe the mines will eventually become the greatest copper producers in the world." MINING INSTITUTE HAS SESSION AT GREENWOOD Copper Mining Industry of British Columbia Under Discussion��� Interesting Paper by E. Jacobs���M. E. Purcell Elected Chairman for pnsuihg Year. (Special to the Wiooniv I'ionoor) The thirteenth general meeting of members of the Western Branch of the Canadian Mining Institute was held at Greenwood, oh Thursday, June 27. In the unavoidable absence of the chairman of the branch, Robert R. Hedley, and at the request of the members present, the chair was taken by Frederick Keffer, an ex-president of the Institute. Among the visitors present was Hayes W- Young, .instructor., in metallurgy at Stanford University, California, who was in the district obtaining information relative to the operation of the local Boundary copper smelteries. The ballots for the election of chairman and members of the branch council for the ensuing year, having been counted by the scrutineers, their report was submitted to the meeting, the secretary subsequently announcing the unanimous election of M. E. Purcell to position of chairman of the branch for the ensuing year. " The new chairman is the superintendent of Consolidated Mining and Smelting Co.'s Centre Star group of Mines in Rossland. With few exceptions, the election of the other officers were unanimous; only three of the candidates receiving any opposition, and only one vote apiece at that. The chief subject before the meeting was that of the "Copper-Mining Industry of British Columbia," in connection with which there was a paper read by E. Jacobs, giving historical, statistical and general in- information concerning the joint industry as a whole. This was supplemented by some interesting particular's of Voight's group of mineral claims and others on Copper mountain, near Princeton, in the Similkameen, by F. Keffer; "Notes on the Method of Handling Ore on the Surface at the Centre Star Mines, Rossland," by M. E. Purcell; the "Consolidated Mining and Smelting Co.'s Smelting Department, Trail," B.C. COPPER MANAGER SUCCUMBS TO INJURIES Hurt in Auto Accident���Prominent in B. C. Mining Affairs. While proceeding to Phoenix on Saturday last, at' a narrow part of the road near Cropley's ranch, the big auto of the B. C. Copper turned over and ran for some distance down the hill. All the occupants were thrown out, but escaped with minor injuries, with the exception of E. G. Warren. He was driving the car, and had his chest crushed by the steering wheel, breaking several ribs and sustaining severe internal injuries. He was taken to the hospital and it was thought that his recovery was possible, but unfortunately this hope was dispelled on Wednesday evening, the patient sinking and passing away early on Thursday morning. The death of Mr. Warren, which T ��� , . ���.T . ��� took place on Thursday last, the re- by James Buchanan; and "Notes j ,*.... ... suit of injuries sustained in an auto- on Copper Mining in the Coast District," by W. M. Brewer of Victoria. ln the course of his paper, Mr. Jacobs mentioned that the smelting of copper ores commenced in the Boundary district in 1900, and that the aggregate production of copper in the province for all years up to the end of 1911 was 452,281,000 pounds. Boundary mines had produced 301,574,000 pounds, as, compared with 84,201,000 pounds from the Rossland mines. The coast dis- mobile accident, will be a distinct loss to the mining and smelting fraternity of the province and a severe blow to the British Columbia Copper company, of which, the deceased gentleman was general manager. At Greenwood, in which city he resided, the news of his death was received with sorrow by its people, while here in Phoenix where he was almost as well known, the deepest regret is expressed on all sides at his untimely decease, and genuine sorrow is'manifest for A LIGHT [!W".

M. LAINQ, Proprietor The White Slave Traffic A terrible picture of this, trade in the bodies and souls of British girls is painted by Dr. Eltie Sayer, in the London Times. Writing-"' in support of the bill, now before the House of Commons, Dr. Sayer states: "There are many people who are still unaware that, probably, no day ever passes without several of our gills being duped and trapped and sold into American and Continental houses, whete life lasts ��tt the most five to seven yeais, terminating' in lingering deaths of the most harrowing nature which the medical profession is ever called upon to witness. The trade is tremendously lucrative to those engaged in it. Geneial Bingham, head of the New York police, stated in the official government report that at a low estimate 15,000 fresh girls were imported in 1909. One syndicate alone was making an annual profit of $200,000. Further, that in the burial lots ol one of these organizations, were 451 nameless' graves of girls, clc. Since then legislation has been obtained concerning landing at that port; but the effect has only been to change the route of the tiaffickcrs, and they now enter the States through Canada. The situation in South America, especially the Argentine, is even worse. The pioposed British Act does not touch questions involving the personal morality of individuals, but will make the stealing and selling of girls a felony, instead of a misde meanor as at present, and render it altogether too dangerous a proce- Civil Service Age Limit A good deal of anxiety has been caused in various departments of the civil service by the action of the civil service commission with regard to the age limit for promotion. The commissioners have recently refused to issue the ceitificates required by law in some eight or ten cases, on the grounds that the cleiks concerned are over 65 years of age.1 Up to a few weeks ago nothing had ever been heard in the service as art age limit, except for letirement, and naturally those who are affected by the rule, which Professor Shorlt states will be in effect until the cabinet council definitely deals with the matter, are somewhat anxiou* as to their future in the service. "The question has been raised." stated Professor Shortt when seen about the matter, "and as the commission announced, rules have been put into effect similar to those in force in Great Britain. We have asked the cabinet council lo deal with the whole quesrion. It is only as to promolion the rule will apply, and only to those G5 years of age or over. It will apply to all the inside service. The question has been gone into thoroughly by the commission, and until the government takes some action, promotions will be suspended to those of or above this age. If the council decides to leave it simply indefinite we shall govern ourselves accordingly." ft, v /? -* ij |n___ ____���_ i 1 ���> <> <- The New Edition of the COPPER HANDBOOK CANADBAN ilf^i'^^iV'?- -' * * prepiiration."*. ^r insfcpiibli.lied, \ ; Fully Revised.

The ease with which these cunning and skil- ful people must sometimes, with the promises of mairiage, of splendid situations abroad, etc., be able to secure their prey was illustrated by an incident which occuned in my practice about a fortnight ago. The patient was a waitress in the restaurant of one of the most flourishing drapery establishments in the west end. She had succumbed to a form of blood poisoning probably brought on by the unhygienic conditions under which she had been living. She said ber wages were $1.50 a week, that she was provided with a good dinner and-supper,' but ��thatl- no gratuities were allowed, and that out of the $1.25 she found her own breakfast, paid for her room, laun- diy, clothes and tram fares to and from a quarter of the city whete the lodgings were cheap. In addi Salvage Declined The White Star officials state that the Cunard company have declined to accept remuneration for the Car- pathia's services in rescuing the Titanic's survivors. With the permission of the Canard company, the White Star line have presented Captain Rostron with $500, while the surgeon, purser and chief steward were each the recipients of $250. All the other members of the crew received a month's pay. Captain Rostron, who is a native of Bolton, Lancashire, received $10,000 from the readers of the New York American. The Liverpool Shipwreck and Humane society also awarded him their gold medal, and the United States Congress voted him $1000 and another medal. Every one of the Carpathia's crew received a gold, silver or bronze medal from the survivors. !

She went on to instance firms; some of them royal warrant holders,- where everyone of the girls where to be found on the streets at nisrht, and to explain how easy it was for them, ha\ ing once entered this life, to disappear for good without any suspicion being aroused. These girls leave the board school at 14, that often their parents are too poor to support them, that they have been taught no religion, and have received no proper instruction whatever about the mysteries of life, and that they are far too young to enter respectable domestic service. But they are not too young for the white slave traffickeis. I was recently told that British girls were the "most fashionable" in the worst houses in Paris. Until these tacts���and similar ones���are sufficiently known and understood, it appears impossible to come to the rescue of girls, who, sharing the common knowledge that there is a teal, urgent and honest need for more women in our colonies, are being deluded with pictures of blight prospects, and will continue to leave our .shores lor slavery and death, today and tomorrow and the next day, and the next, until legislation is obtained."

Sale of Town Lots in England The Canadian Chamber of Commerce in London, ling., have taken action with a view to putting a stop to the indiscriminate sale of "wild-cat" town lots on the English marker. As a preliminary to this move they have requested all British firms dealing in Canadian real estate to pledge themselves to the following conditions: (a) Not to offer' for sale any land described as Canadian town lots or similarly termed, a plan of which has not been registered for subdivision in accordance with the provisions of the Local Land Titles Act in Canada. (b) Not to distribute any map or plan of any property intended to promote the sale of that property as town lots which does not show the whole of the town in or near which the property is situated, and which does not bear on the face of it the following information: (a) The scale, which may not be less than two inches to the mile.

J Canada's 41st Birthday Monday last was the 41st anniversary of Canadian confederation, the entry of British Columbia taking place on July 1st, 1871.- On that day this province joined hands with the rest of the country and con- sumated that which for years had been regarded as but a dream���a united Canada���a British North American Confederacy, stretching from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Since that eventful day, all has not been smooth sailing for B.C. There has arisen times when the people of this province developed a tendency to break away; in fact the advisability for such a move at one time was freely and openly discussed and feeling ran high throughout the province. Happily, however, wiser counsels prevailed, and at the present time there is no mote devoted province to the confederation than that of British Columbia. Strictly speaking it was not until the advent of the present government at Ottawa that the full rights and prerogatives of this province have been recognised.

It removes altogether the issue upon which public interest was largely centred, for Sir Charles Fitzpatrick and Mr. Justice Anglin, who are Roman Catholics, join with their three Protestant colleagues. Sir L. Davies, Mr. Justice Duff and Mr. Justice Idington, in stating without qualification or evasion that the Ne Temere decree has no more force or effect iu Quebec, so far as the civil law is concerned, than in any other province, and I hat Protestant ministers have the same right as priests of the Roman Catholic communion to officiate at mixed marriages. Hereafter, therefore, any person suiri.esting that a Catholic who has been married to a Protestant by a Protestant minister is not married at ail in the eyes of the civil law, is liable to bo dealt with as is any other slanderer. There remains but one issue of importance. Has a Protestant minister or any other person authorized by the statute to perform the marriage ceremony in the province of Quebec, the right to marry two Catholics, or can Catholics in Quebec be legally married only by a Catholic priest?

It is proposed to hold the meeting of the Congress in Toronto, beginning on or about the 21st day of August. The Congress will continue in session for eight days. .The following topics have been selected by the Executive Committee as the principal subjects for discussion: The coal resources of the world; differentiation in igneous magmas; the influence of depth on the character of metalliferous deposits; the origin and extent of the pre-Cam- brian sedimentaries; the sub-divisions, correlation and terminology of the pre-Cambrian; to what extent was the Ice Age broken by inter- glacial periods; the physical and faunal characteristics of the Palaeozoic seas with reference to the value of the recurrence of seas in establishing geologic systems. Since the first meeting in Paris in 1878, meetings have been held in Italy, Germany, England, the United States of America, Switzerland, Russia, Austria, Mexico and Sweden At the last Congress held in Stock holm in 1910 there was an attend ance of 850, and it is expected that this number will be exceeded in Canada next year. An extensive series of excursions are being arranged to illustrate the typical geology and mineral resources of Canada. These excursions will take place during August and September and will extend from Cape Breton and Halifax on the Atlantic to Prince Rupert and Victoria on the Pacific, and from Niagara Falls on the Southern boundary to Dawson City near the Artie Circle. Geologists from every quarter of the-Globe will attend the Congress, and for many it will be their first visit to Canada. They will include professors from the leading universities and mining schools, officers of the various government geological surveys and mining departments, and geologists and mining engineers in private practice.
