We have seen the\noptimist quietly and doggedly hanging on\nfrom season to season, backing his faith\nin the country with everything at his disposal.   Listening to the pessimists, with\na smile, when they would rant and rave,\ncurse and knock the country, and finally\nto leave and go away,  \"never to return.\"\nInvariably  these  gentlemen  come back,\nconverted into optimists.   Optimists, why?\nFor never in its history has the mining industry of this Portland Canal  promised\ngreater things for the future than with\nthe advent of this 1921 season.   Stewart\nas a mining center is on the map to stay.\nPut your ear to the ground.   From every\nquarter comes the murmurings of greater,\nand still greater development, in spite of\nthe fact  that  prices of metals are very\nlow, some even below the cost of production, and the money markets of the world\nare tighter than at any time since the\ndays  of '93.   There  being  little or  no*\nmoney for investment coming from Europe,\nowing to the excessive rates of exchange,\nwhich condition is also making itself felt\nin the manufacturing of this continent to\nsuch an extent that if it had not been for\nthe Federal Reserve banks of the U. S. A.,\nNorth America would have experienced a\nfinancial panic that would have rivalled\nfor severity that of 1893.   ln spite of these\nunparalleled conditions for mining development, what do we find?   We  find  the\neyes of the mining world upon this northern-section.   The big  mining  corporations, many of whom have closed their\nmines in other places, have now time to\nlook around for new fields, and will utilize\ntheir organizations for this purpose; therefore, it is safe to expect  that  these  big\ncompanies will, as soon as the snow permits, have their engineers looking  over\nthis districts, willing to take hold and de-\nvelope mines, if they can get properties\nat reasonable prices and terms.   With the\nPremier an established mine, and one that\nwill soon  gain world  wide  reputation,\nnothing now can  retard the  legitimate\ndevelopment of the vast mineral wealth at\npresent lying dormant in and around the\nhead   of Portland  Canal, and   this 1921\nseason will, before it closes, prove to be\nthe one in which great developments will\nfind their birth.\nVictoria Times: As a naval man of\nenviable accomplishments and in possession of an international reputation of which he\nmay be justly proud; Rear-Admiral Sims would\nhardly be true to his calling if he came out flat-\nfooted for a greatereduction in naval organization.\nAt the same time he qualifies any leaning he may-\nhave for the perpetuation of his own profession\nwith the suggestion that the whole problem should\nI be thoroughly considered. But he speaks as\nplainly upon the subject of a navy's purpose as he\nhas done upon those occasions when his candor\nhas shaken the walls of officialdom to their very\nfoundations. He says that \"if a man tells you we\nneed a large navy to do our share in the policing\nthe sees of the world, don't believe him. The\nnavy is for one purpose, to fight.\" Of course it\nis. He could have said the same about armies.\nHere is the crux of the whole question. As long\nas the nations of the world continue to pile up the\nvarious forms of fighting equipment somebody\nwill devise a means for its use in spite of the\nLeague of Nations. Do away with it and diplomacy\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdsecret or open -will demand men of business instead of men schooled in political intrigue.\nPROFESSIONAL   CARDS.\nDALBY B.

Roughly Vancouver is 800 miles from the same\npoint in the Peace Kiver country that\nis readied in 400 miles from Stewart,\nwhich is the natural outlet for the\nwhole northern and eastern interior.\nNearly every'settler in the Peace\nRiver district is talking of railway\ncommunication with the coast.\nSpeaking in broad terms there are\nthirty-two millions of acres of the\nPeace River district situated within the\nboundaries of British Columbia, and\nmore than forty millions of acres within the Province of Alberta, most of it\nbeing suitable agricultural land for\nmixed farming or ranching. In addition there is a vast area nf mineral and\ntimber resources, theextentof which is\nonly beginning to be realized.\nImmense deposits of anthracite  coal\nhave been located and the  president of\nthe Peace River   Board   of   Trade   is\nauthority for the statement   that   this\ncoal grades higher   than   Pennsylvania\ncoal.\nExtensive exploration work is being\ncarried un in connection with oil and\nalready startling results have been   bo\nI taincd. The oil sands are located at a\ndepth of about sixteen hundred feet\nand enough investigation has taken\nplace to be assured   that   they are   of\nj wonderful   extent.    There   is   also   an\n: abundance of natural gas.\nThe arja un ier cultivation at present\nI is only about   three   hundred   thousand\n; acres and the population of the whole\ndistrict is about twenty thousand. The\nfirst grain was sent out of the country\nthree years ago, and consisted   of   less\ni than one thousand bushels.    Last   year\n| nine million bushels were produced from\nabout a quarter million acres, the average wheat yield being thirty-five bush-\ni ids to the acre   or   nearly   double   the\n| average of other portions   of   Alberta.\nj The land is also well adapted   for   the\nj raising of stock of all   kinds,   particu\nj larly hogs.\nlt is reasonable   to   suppose   that  if\n! two hundred and fifty thousand acres\nare now producing nine million bushels\nof grain, that within a very few years\nthere will be ten million acres producing three hundred and fifty million bush\nels of grain, or roughly, ten million\ntons.\nGranby Coy's\nEquipment\nThe Granby Consolidated Mining, Smelting and Power company has completed the equipment at the Blainey loading dock\nnear Ladysmith by installing a\nrubber belt conveyor 1300 feet\nlong which connects the small\nstorage bins with hold of a vessel at the wharf. In the coal\nwashing plant at Cassidy seven\nOverstrom concentrating tables\nhave been installed for the purpose of more thoroughly cleaning\nthe slack coal than was possible\nwith jig alone. A new radia\ndrill, a shaper and other equipment have been added to the\nmachine shop. The main slope\nhas been extended about 1000\nfeet, thus reaching a total\nlength of 3500 feet, passing\nthrough that part of the field in\nlitigation and into that section\nthe title of which is not in dispute. A Dor thickener is being\ninstalled near the washing plant;\nthe tank of the thickener is 75\nfeet in diameter by 13 feet on a\ncorcrete foundation. The ventilating equipment at the mine\nhas been enlarged by the installation of a Cirocco fan with a\ncapacity of 150,000 cubic feet of\nair a minute.\nDividends From\nthe Metal Mines\nDividends    from    the   metal\nmines of Washington, Idaho and\n! British   Coiumbia   totalled   $7,-,\n225,865 for 1920,  compared with j\n$5,198,397   for   1919.    The chief j\n1 increase was in the Coetir d'Al-j\n, ene,   where   the   dividends  for\n1920 have been $5,063,500,   compared   with   $2,663,500   in 1919.\n(This increase was chiefly due to\nthe   dividends   of  the Callahan\nj Zinc and the Hercules companies.\nj Only one mine  in   Washington,\nexclusive of coal,  has  declared\n! dividends in the last two years.\n!

On Saturday   night  last   he made the\nboat fast to the   davit.    During\nthe   night  the  tide went down\nvery low, and the rope not being\nlong enough, the weight of the\nboat pulled the davit loose,  and\nin falling went clean through the\nbottom of the   boat,   which   immediately   sank.
