Like California,\nNevada, Australia and South Africa we\nhave been iu a tratisittou state from the\nprimitive way of mining gold in the gravel\nbenches and iu tho old stn urns theie. \\Y\ufffd\ufffd\nhave ut lant turned our attention to quartz\nniiiing, vchtc!) is of a permnneut. clinrjcter\nuid will go on l-.r gencratiouti, but it requires a great deal of tiino and capital to\nlevelop those quartz miuej. tjiartz ledgc--\nli-ive to bo followed dowo 15, 2U or perhapt\n100 feet in some instances, before a infQcien'\nbud of paying on is re-tubed, aud as a geu-\nt-nd thiog the further down they are driven\nthe richer tho lodes become. A great dual\nof the ore is refractory. The precious metal\nts found in combination with iron, I al and\ncopper. It Is not free milling ore. Smelters\nhave to be creeled at a vory great cost, and\n[ am happy to say that, while most of out\nores are not free milling, they carry euch u\nlarge percentage of copper aud lead that it\npays for the mining and smelting aud other\nexpenses connected with it and the miner*\nhave the gold free for their pruflt. That\nU why I say that as Urge a rtturu hat-\nnot been made as many of us expected\nJuiingla*t year from Ihe amount of development and tho amount if attention that\nhas been called to that poittou of the\nDominion. I hold in my hand here the\nreport hrmiffht down by tho .Mini-iter of\nMines in the province of TjritUh Columbia, ' Vf gives one an idea of the ecnr>\ninuus strides that are being made in the\nmining of precious metal* in that proviuce.\nThe returni are Ur the year 18115 and\n1811(1. la point jTltf&r mining, i>i 1805\nthere was $4S1,033, worth of gold pro-\nduced; last year the production hod\nincreased to $o-!3,02G In quarz mining, in lM!l.\"i wo producod ?7M,'J71\nworth, and last year tho output had increased to$I.!M4 ISO.

I would draw\nthe attention of the House to a peculiar\ntact; you rarely hear anything about our\nrich silver minen. It is all about o<ir gold\nmines, Up to the piesent time, during the\nlast two years, from \ufffd\ufffd1 to %'\\ worth of tAvisc\nbus been producod in that provinc. for\nevery dollar that hat been produced in gold\nPeople are bewitched bv go'd. Demonstrate to investors that you can make $100\nper day for 20 yeari in a silver mine, and\ntake a gold mine and demonstrate with\nequal certainty that you cm mafeo $50 per\nday, and you will find that 19 out of 20\nwill take the gold proposition in preference\nto the silver one. What I wish to call\nattention to with referouco to silver mining\nli that the lead mined in connection with it\nlast year amounted to \ufffd\ufffd743,000. Our silver\nbearing ore is argentiferous galena. Nearly\none-third of (ho total value of our lilvet\noroi is in the lead they carry. In the past\nnearly all the silver ore has been hhippea to\nthe United States. The duty on\nthe lead was T of a oent per pound and I am\nsorrv to boo the proposed amendment to the\ntariff iu tho United Statu will raise it to\nl.J cents per pound. Notwithstanding\nthat, I believe our silvi r mines are so rich\nthat they can afford to pay that ex*\nInordinary duty. I am satisfied alio that\nthe raising of the'duty on our lead will\nresult in inducing British capitalists to go\nin there and establish smelters to do all the\nsmelting in our own country. A few years\nego when advocating the eatabM\ufffd\ufffdhment of a\nDominion miut here, I remember making a\nstatement, and I think hon. gentlemen will\nfind it recorded in the official report 11 then\npredicted that within five or six yean, in\nall probability, the province that I have tho\nhonor to teureient wculd ho producing pro-\nhilily four or five trillion dollars in gold and\nsilver.

C.\nMining Critic.\nThrough Solid Rock to Pay Oro.\nWe can conceive of no more honorable\nway of securing money than to get it from a\nnatural sourco Our mountains are full of\nmineral wealth, gold, sliver, copper, coal,\niron and lead.

Again we say,\nmining investments judiciously mado are\nthe moat profitable of any lo be found, and\nwe are glad to note from the Increasing demand for such Investments that they are\nrapidly gaining tho attention and confidence\nof capitalists who are noted for their careful\noon'lderai ion of every proposition in which\nthey risk their money.\nSOME   OOIiDISX BULKS FOR\nINVESTORS.\n1st.

The northern dittriot will contain the Donald and Golden miniog divi-\nlions and the southern distriofwill contain\nthe mining divisions of Windermere aw)\nFort Steele. . The present Oold Copume-\naioner, Mr. J.'F. Armstrong, who had his\nheed office at Donald but resided at Golden\nwill be moved to tho toothern dittriot, and\nhit head office and residence will be at th\ufffd\ufffd\nCity of Cranbrook. The new Commissioner\nfor the northern division will be Mr. Orif\nfith of Donald, tut it has not yet been decided whether kit residenos will be st\nDonald w Golden. Mr. Frink Lang will\nremain Assessor and Collector for the northern district and 0. M. Edwards the present.\nmining recorder at Fort Steele will be the\nnew assessor and coUeotor for the southern\ndivition snd will alio reside at Cranbrook,\nwhere the offices of the Administrator Ann\nCoiumiailoner of ths Southern District will\nbe, Chit will create a vacancy in tho office\nof Mining Recorder at Fort Steels. Ths\nsouthern distriot of Esse Kootenay hat be-\nearns so important that in all probability\nthere will bo a mining recorder's office established st Moyie City, which with the\nmining recorders offices st Tobacco Plains\nsnd Windermere will give four rscording\ndivisions for ths southern distriot.\nTho most central point in southern Easl\nKootenay for these offices Is undoubtedly\nCranbrook. It la ths ohisf divlsionsl sta-\ntlon on the asw railway and a considerab.e\ntownaite bss been laid out, snd it will in\nths near future be * place of some importance. It is the osntsr of ths radii for such\ntowns ss Bitten, Moyie City, Perry. Johsn-\ntwaburg, Kimberly, Dalgarduo, Wett Port\nsnd Wardner. Many of thess towns have\nnow a larger population than what Fort\nStasis had sis: mouths ago, snd soms of\nthem will shortly be vary formidable rivals\nto this mining town.\nIns telec'toa of Cranbrook for the seat of\nthe Gsvsraauat sfBoes has however not\nfrivsn general satisfaction to tho people of\nFort Steele sod \"The Prospector,1' the\norgan ol this town has denounced in em-\nphstk language ths selection of Crsnbreok.\nA meeting of the \"select few\" snd others\nhas been held snd a committee sppointsd to\nInvestigate the nutter, to ssosrtsln from\nths Provincisl Secretary il ths statement it\ntrue snd to invite the Commissioner of\nWorks to visit East Kootrasy. Ws mutt\nconfess we cannot see the object of this\ncommittee or why ther- should be any kick\nagainst the selection, unless it be that Fort\nSteele arrogates to itself ths similar position\nthat ths three tailors lu Tooley Street, London, ones arrogated to themselves as representing the inhabitants of Great Britain,\nand Fort Steele fancies itself the southern\ndivision of E at Kootenay instead of only\nlot SI in an erst of 600,000 squire miles.\nFort Steele is losing nothing by ths change,\nbut it, along with ths other\nten towns in Southern Estt Kootenay it\ngaining something considerable. The seat\nof ths Government offices instead of being\n170 miles away will be within 12 miles of\nFort Steele snd not much over this dis'anoe\nfrom ths other towns which turround Cranbrook. The visit of the Minister flf Works\nwill bo a welcome one to E ut Kootenay\nand ths people at ths northern end will\nhave aa opportunity should he come to Kut\nKootenay of pitting In a word to have\nGolden made the center of ths judicial\nsystem sf Eist Kooteoay, as it it by far the\nmost Important town a it.\nFort Steel* Liberal Association.\nThs psraaneot organization of this Association was completed at a meeiir g held oo\nthe 21th Jans, by tho election of the follow-\nlag officers i\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdPrteldent, F.

The\nPass is about 70 miles in length from foot\nhill to foothill; its breadth runs from 150\nyards to one mile and a half; the scenery\nin it wss considered very striking. Fort\nSteele is reckoned sbout 12) miles from the\nCrow's Nest Pass Hotel. After emeigiog\nfrom ths Pass, the Elk river whloh tuts\ndoss to its western end was followed down*\nwsrds until ths Kootenay was ttruok when\nthit river wss followed upwards te Fort\nSteele. On their journey tboy saw ths appearance of coal io several placet, their\nhorses' feet pasting over seams that were\njutting out from the ground. From the\nmonth of the Pats there is sn excellent trail\nall the way to Fort Steele.

One place that particularly\nimpressed them was nssr Pack Bridge st\nthe Elk River Creasing. Here it magnificent water power and a plana most suitable\nfor a smelter. Ihe wator flows with great\nvelocity through a canyon over which the\nbridge it laid, the width being about 40\nfeet. Then is abundance of timber for\nlumber\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdwhile the coal fields are close by.\nThe mineral properties now located in the\noerghborhood are considerable,\nla the course of their nine dsys treval\nthey taw no trace of suy sotoal conttruotion\nwork being dene on the rsilwsy, but thsy\ncorns across three parties of surveyors busy\nmaking turveyt for the new line.
