The neglect of the Canadian mining industry by the late Laiwicr ad-  ministiation has become proverbial and strong: pressure is lo be brought  to bear on the new government for closer nttention to mining in the  Dominion. The following article from tbe Daily News, Fort William, is  sell explanatory:  >  \"The agricultural and manufacturing interests have been assisted and  protected, while the mining intere'sts of ttt'e 'Dominion have been  neglected.  From 1900to 1909 inclusive, $6,342,086 has been expended \\\\y the  imm gration department to secure settlers for western Canada, and over  SS, 185,880 by the Depattment of Agriciiltnte, largely in the interests; of  iht farming community, and Dominion lands have been given as A  bom t) in .etllers at the rate of $10 per homestead, wlictcas if the lands  had boon sold .it lhe prices paid lo the lailvvay companies for adjoining  lands the Dominion treastny would hn\\o received over 875,000,000,  whereas the geological department dining the last, ten years has expended SI,089,167, or at the rate of about $100,000 each jfear.  The in.iniifaettners are protected so that dirring the last [ten years  over 8408,000,000 has been Collected in customs dues on articles imported into Canada'. Out of the $13,771,796 paid in bounties on iron  and steel during the last fourteen yeais less than_$700,000 went to the  mine owners and ovet $13,000,000 to the maiuilacturcrs, the owners of  the blast furnaces and steel plants.  The blast furnaces and steel plants are now producing each year pig  iron and steel products worth over $12,000,000, and the plants tire being  materially increased in capacil), which should be a v ery satisfactoy  return lor the bounties paid out.  In 1903 a bounty of $15 per ton was authorised to be paid to the  mine owners for each ton of lead produced in Canada to assist the sil\\er  lead mines owners of British Columbia. The amount ol\" bounty payable  each year was limited to $S00,000 during those siv. yearsi produced  $23,718,083 worth of silver and lead, which was a most gratifying result  of that policv.  The iron mines of Canada should receive the same assistance. Each  mine should be paid $1 per ton on the first 100,000 tons of ore shipped  and smelted into pig iron, but provided tbat the bounties paid during  an) one vcar should not exceed $500,000, and the aggregate bounties  not to exceed $2,500,000 and no one company oi mine owner to receive  in the aggregate more than $100,000.  If the total bounty was paid it would mean nt least 25 iron mines  that in the aggregate would produce probably over 25,000,000 and be  instrumental in securing and in developing these numerovs iron ranges,  who.seanmi.il output-might .aggregate 40,000,000 \"ttfiriH worth nearly  .$100,000,000 at the mines,  besides paving  nearly S50.0OO.O00 in freight  rates.\" \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd - 7 .,  The ptovince cf British Columbia is well to ihc front in the extent  of its iron oie bodies and there need be nor qualms of fear that the pro  dnce of the Nova,.Scotia and Ontaiio mines would .swallow up the  bounties suggested. The known iron deposits of this province aie even  now enormous and there is no (elling wliat will yet be discovered when  a proper .ind systematic survev of hitherto unexplored districts take  plare. I.ivtic if any comment is pcce\ufffd\ufffd-s-iry as to the quality ot R. C. iron  ores. The product of the To\\ada Island mines which is treated in the  furnaces at lrond.de, Wash., is of excellent qirthtv and the iron produced  has rarelj been surpassed. #  Apart from tbe Texada Island iron mines, there arc the deposits at  Ciordoti river (San Juan,), Copper Island, Sarita \ufffd\ufffdi\\er, Albeini canal,  Kennedy lake. Magpie lake. Head bay, Qtiatsino sound, on the west  coast of Vancouver Island, Rivet Inlet, on the mainland and the deposits  on the Oiiccn Charlotte Islands. N'e.irei home, large quantities are to  found near Kercmeos and if we are not mistaken there are the large deposits repoilcd b\\ Dr. Dawson two miles trom Ward's crossing, not far  from Honnington falls On the coast there are extensive supplies of  limestone, suitable for flux and easily accessible.  The market of British Columbia and the Pacific coast is in itself  sufficient to maintain an iron and steel industrv, as the natuial conditions  for economical production ate probably without a parallel in anv other  part ol the world. The suggestion ol the above mentioned paper is well  worth the sciious consideialion ol the new ministei ol mines, while its  charge that the mining industrv of Canada has been wotull} neglected is  well founded and bevond dispute.

Mr. Kirkup had intended returning six weeks or so earlier, but was  obliged to remain on the field in  order to swear in each of the new  justices of the peace appointed to  administer Iiritish Columbia's laws  along the Grand Trunk Pacific construction line on lhe easierh borders of the province.  While aw.titing theircommissions,  Mr. Kirkup occupied himself in  cleaning out a nest of illicit liquor.  sellers, the camp followers of the  railway building army, collecting  approximately $1800 in fines during  his short stay on the frontier. He  also located several police stations,  awarded contracts and supervised  construction of the first two jails established in the Peace river'territory.  In   a report    which   he   has   just  made to   the  attorney-general,   Mr.  Kirkup   states  that    before   taking  leave of the Peace river district, he  administered the oath  and installed  in .office   Messrs.   Sugars,   McCor-  mick and McLaren,   officials   ofthe  G. T. P.   contract   forces, who had  recently received   commissions, Mr.  Mackenzie,   the    fourth   tecent   appointee, had gone \"outside\"  foi nn  indefinite period, in   consequence of  the serious   illness  of a member of  hN   family,   and  therefore   was  not  swore' in.  'A:   K.   Bouchler,   J.P.,  hadt  however, lately  arrived, in the  district   from   Fort   Ceoige,   andjs  now   located   at   Sand   Creek,   two  miles west from  Tetc Jaune Cache,  so that the administration  of justice  is   well   distributed  throughout   the  new district and along the- line upon  which the   railway construction will  shortly be advanced.  GREENWOOD WINS  FIRST HOCKEY MATCH  Grand Forks Team Outclassed\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd  Greenwood Wins 4 to 1.  The first league match in the  Boundary series took place en Monday, at Gieenwood, between the  team representing, that town and  the Grand Forks seven. There was  a fairly large attendance considering  the other New Year attractions. A  special From the, Forks carried  about 75, while Phoenix had a  similar number of representatives  on the gio'tnd. Both teams appeared to be in excellent shape, and  the opening phases of the game  showed lots of dash. There was an  entiie absence of rough play and  the various manoeuvres were  watched with genuine interest. The  Forks team, which was quite local  in character, was outclassed at almost every stage of the game, its  g'oal defence being its one redeeming feat it i e. Lynn, formerly of  Phoenix, was a -valuable acquisition  to the Greenwood bunch, his sensa-  sational breakaways being responsible in a great measure for the  final score ol -1 to 1 in favor of  Greenwood. A. C. Warren, manager of the B. C. Copper, proved a  fair and impartial referee.

During the past  twelve months the province has experienced a wonderful growth in  population, industries and general  development; extensive railway construction and large additions to the  merchant marine have been necess-  iry to supply tbe demand for greater  transportation facilities, and on all  sides there has been a healthy and  well-sustained progress.  \"For the year 1912 there is a  certainty of an inci eased impetus  along all lines that m:'.ke for  material advancement, and we may  look for a large influx of settlers as  well as the investment of vast  amounts of capital in the further  development of our natural resources.

The   law   of  the   land  and\nlegal ethics   will settle   these questions nine  times out  of ten, but the\ntenth time comes when  there seems\nto  be   a   conllict. between   a   man's\nduty as  a lawyer and   his duly as a\ncitizen.       In   the   jYlcNamara   case,\nfor example, Mr. Darrow knew   for\nseveral    months   that   one    of   his\nclients was guilty.      Knowing this,\nhe   continued to   fight   for  his freedom, spending   money like water in\nhis efforts,   and   it was  the money,\nfor   the   most   part,   of  men   who\nwould not have contributed a dollar\nif they had known as much of James\nMcNamnra as Darrow knew.  There\n'can be little doubt that if the agents\nfor the defence  could have bribed a\njuror, or   if the   defence   could   not\nhave made an arrangement with the\nprosecution,     .Mr.     Darrow    would\nhave   continued   to    fight    for   the\nMcNnmaras.       In   other   words   he\nwould have sought to  turn loose on\nsociety again a  man who  had committed a series ofthe   most horrible\ncrimes in modern history.   In so doing,   Mr. Harrow   might   have  discharged his duty to his clients;   but\nit is questionable if bis course would\nhave  been   that   of n   law   abiding\ncitizen.       It   would \u2022 seem,   in   fact,\nthat he would   be no better than an\naccessory after the fact, and that he\ntoo should  he sentenced   to  a term\nof imprisonment.

When interviewed a\nfew days ago, with respect to the\nvarious bite newspaper references to\nthis, at all events interesting proposal, Hon. -Richard McBride, prime\nminister of British Columbia, stated\nthat the proposal of annexation had\nnever emanated from this province,\nat all events, since he hud been its\nfirst minister, and that there was\nquite enough to he done within the\nborders of  this province   as  at pre\nRailway Charter For Okanagan\nIn connection with recent references to present railway activity in\nBritish Columbia, application has\njust been made to the Minister of\nRailways, tit Ottawa, for an enlargement: of the charter powers of\nthe Kettle Valley Railroad Co., the\nsubsidiaries oT the' C.P.R., of which\nJames J. Warren is president,\nauthorizing lhe extension of this\nline from Kelowna to Vernon. Surveys for the now link are now in\nprogress, ami const ruction of tbe\nnew section of about thirty miles\nlength, will be in progress during\n1912. No icquest will be made for\nany provincial assistance in the establishment of this now transportation artery. The decision of the\nIC.R. V. to extend as far as Vernon\nis well understood to have been influenced by the recent purchase of\nthe Coleau Power Co.'s charter and\nfranchises by Sir William .Mackenzie,    Sir   Donald   Mann   and   their\nsent adjusted, without going further j associates, who   plan   to.proceed at\nafield in search of new responsibilities. Although complaints have\nbeen made in the past with icspcct\nto the administration of public\na flairs in the Yukon, he felt confident that under the new order of\nthings federal, all causes of dissatisfaction would quickly disappear. With respect to British\nColumbia and its policy, it would\nbe for the people of this province to\ndevelop their  own   rich  heritage  in \\\nthe   westermost and southerly areas '\n\/ i\nof Canada and   see them   occupied, j\npopulous    and    prosperous    ho fore I\nseeking   other   territory   to  reclaim\nfrom the soil. 1\nonce with the building of this electric\nsystem circumnavigating the Oknua-\njjan lakes, and which will serve as\nan import tint loeder of traffic to the\nCanadian Northern Pacific and lhe\nCanadian Noil hern system.\nEnsign For Canada's Navy\nThe Canadian government has decided upon a Hag for the navy of\nthe Dominion, and a description of\nthe bunting has just appeared in tbe\nCanada   Citizene.

Ought he so to continue\nto defend a man who has  confessed\nto him that be is guilty?    In theory,\nthe duty of a lawyer to  his client is\nto see that he gets a fair trial. However, that   is the  duty of the judge,\nand if there   are not other duties, it\nwould    sdem    that    the   lawyer    is\nsuperfluous, and that the judge and\nother court officials might well lake\nhis place.     In discussing the case of\nthe   McNamaras,   the Seattle   Post\nIntelligencer   expresses    the    belief\nthat a lawyer who violates the confidence a client  places   in   him is to\nbe classified   with  the medical man\nwho   commits. the same   breach  of\netiquette with   regard-to   a patient\nNevertheless it rebukes Mr. Darrow\nfor trying   to   shield men whom  he\nknew were  guilty.     Without violating  their    confidence,   how    could\nDarrow   have   thrown up   the  case\nfor the. defence?    He seems to have\nchosen lo play the part of an enemy\nto the   slate rather   than   that   of a\ntraitor to his wretched clients.   The\npublic opprobrium   that    has    been\nvisited on him in the past fortnight,\nis evidence that in the opinion of the\ngreat majority of people, he made a\nwrong chcice.

So In the Intervals of her work\n;bIio begun to speculate about her un-\niknovvn neighbor.\nAt the end of two months she tabulated her knowledge of blm. lie was\n\u2022gay and debonair. Witness the scraps\nof song Hint floated In to her. He was\n.carelessly litdhTcrcut to women. This\nBho gleaned from the fact that live\nidnys out of seven she could hear blm\n\"tunefully asserting-.\nIf alio be not fair to me.\nWlmt euro 1  liow fnlr sue bot\nlie smoked Invcierntely\u2014n pipe, she\nfunded. Sometimes the faint, elusive\n\u2022nplrlt of the thing seemed to float\n'jibout her hall bedroom, nnd she\nsi.^ed again and again, her small\nbead veil In tho air, but could never\n\u2022be quite\" sure. Tbe partition bore her\nstartled scrutiny Irapertiu-bably, but-\nwell, she was sure she studied smoke.\nHe was about thirty. This she divined from the freshness of his voice\nand his boyish delight In the chatter\nof the elderly chambermaid, whose\nIrish wit would send him Into peals\nof laughter.\nAlso he was a man of the world,\nsince she beard him come in early\nmany evenings nnd move about his\nroom as if dressing for dinner. TheD\nat half past 0 or 7 he would go out\n.again, leaving her with on absurd\n\u25a0sense of desolation.\nThey never encountered each other\nin the halls, much to ber satisfaction,\nbut she came to have a very distinct\niden of his appearance. He was tall,\n\u25a0broad and straight, with a clear cut\nIface and an air of knowing, his way\n'about.\n\"Sure, an' he's a folne glntleman.\"\n\u2022Maggie Informed her once: but. though\nshe might have verified her idea of\nhim. she refrained with a line sense of\n.personal reserve. Sometimes through\nthe open door she caught a glimpse of\nthis room, and her interested eyes took\n;ln the dark green walls, covered with\n.handsome photographs, tbe low bookcases on either side of the fireplace\nand the low. broad table with Its Utter\nwf books and papers.\n\"It certainly looks as if he were an\ninteresting man.\" she thought to her-\nnelf. and thereupon she entered her\n.owu room, and. taking out a sheet of\npaper bearing the mystical heading\n\"My Knight In Spain.\" she wrote:\n\"Evidently educated\u2014a college man;\nprofession, law. literature or something of the kind.\"\n\"Maggie. Is there any one in tbe next\nroom'\/\" she heurd him inquire one Sunday morning. Then In answer to Maggie's mufHed reply: \"Utile Miss Mouse,\n1 should call her. I didn't know there\nwas any one there, though once or\ntwice I've thought I heard some one.\"\nThe girl blushed guiltily. Apparently he had no idea how plainly she\ncould hear him. Then she smiled to\nherself. So he would call her I.lttle\nMiss Mouse. Well, it was fair enough,\nsince she called him her gentlemau of\nSpain.\nFor awhile after this she noticed a\ndecided effort on her uelgbborv part to\ngo softly. In tbe midst of a stave be\nwould cease abruptly, only to begin\nafresh and stop again wlrb an impatient exclamation, as if he were annoyed at not bdng able to remember\nto be quiet. At all of which, in the seclusion of ber room. Little Miss Mouse\nlaughed immoderately, though iu silence.\nThen one morning Maggie found her\nIn bed. ber usually pale face flushed.\nher heavy hair covering tbe pillow in\na tossed nnd tangled mass.\n\"It's nothing, but perhaps you'd better get a doctor:\" gasped -Miss Mouse.\n\"My head's so queer, aud. oh. I'm so\nwarm I\"\nSoon after a serene faced nurse In a\nstriped uniform and white apron was\nInstalled lu the room, and to ner I.lttle\nMiss Mouse, down with bruin fever,\ntalked an uneudliig Jargon.\n\"If you can bave a castle In Spain\nyou can certainly have a knight iu\nSpain, can't you?\" she demanded over\nand over again.\n\"Of course you can.\" soothed the\nnurse.\n\"I'd be very lonely If be vanished,\nos\/castles In Spain do.\" she said at\nanother time, with wistful, puzzled\neyes. \"You don't think he will vanish, do you? Hera use I'm all alone\nhere. He's the only person I really\nknow.\n\"Don't you ever tell, upon your honor.\" she' rambled on. \"It's very\nBtrange. I don't Just understand It.\nbut actually I have never seen him!\nCan you believe It. I've never seen\nhtm. and yet I know him so well? I\ndon't understand It. and my head is\nsplitting.   Hold It:   Hold It!\"\nThe man In the next room was very\nquiet these days. From Maggie be\nhad learned of the little artist's 111\nness. and from her also he heard of\nthe strange hallucination about the\nman In Spain. When she told him he\nshot a quick, piercing look ironi h.s\ndeep set eyes, but evidently there was\nno connection in ber wind between tbe\nsick girl's iniicy and  himself.\nInstinctively he knew the truth.\n\"Poor little girl.\" be mused, \"lonely,\nstruggling, with nothing to feed her\nlovu of companionship and romance\nupon but the sense of fellowship with\nthe unseen occupant ot the next room!\nIt Is well that she hasn't sevn this ugly\nmug of mine.\" he concluded grimly.\nSo he fell Into the way of stopping\nto Inquire about In.!' of the nurse each\nmorning   and   then   of   sending  great\nbunches or violets, upen wnicn tne sick\ngirl's half conscious eyes rested later\non with dreamy pleasure,\n\"Who picked them?\" were her first\nIntelligent words when the fever left\nber and she became herself. Then,\nrealizing where she vvns and what bad\nhappened, she laughed weakly and corrected herself, \"Who sent them, I\nmean?\"\nAt the reply a faint color crept Into\nher cheeks, and she murmured something the nurse did ijpt catch.\nThen came the days when she sat\nup, feeling like a new creature come\nto a pew world, though In appearance\nshe was tnor\u00bb than ever like a frail\nchild.\n\"Come In: I think she would like to\nthank you,\" said the nurse when one\ndny the man stopped lo miike bis usual Inquiry, and a moment later lie was\nstanding before I.lttle Miss Mouses his\nheart thumping at the gaze of two\ndark fringed eyes that reminded him\nof violets.\nShe stammered out her thanks,\nscarcely knowing what she snltl. so\ngreat was her astonishment, for. In\nfact, the knight In Spain, whose face\nshe thought she knew as well as hot\nown, was dark and most tnicoiiipromisingly ugly. Besides, he was old-\nforty If he was n day\u2014and\u2014nnd\u2014\nIn another moment her surprise was\nforgotten. A big. strong hand was\nholding hers, and the voice that she\nliked so much vvns speaking. There\nwas u vibrant tenderness In II that she\nhud never noticed before\u2014that seemed\npersonal, that suggested, outlandish as\nthe Idea was. that to her of all the women lu the world would be ever speak\nin jH.st that tone.\nIt was on their honeymoon that,\nlonging to hear over and over again\nthe beautiful truth, he questioned:\n\"You're sure you don't regret marrying nu ugly brute like me?\"\nShe laughed softly, laying her cbeek\nagainst his. but she did not speak.\nWith quick puln he pulled the face\ndown where he could look into tbe\ndepths of those dark fringed eyes. His\nlips touched her hair, cud be murmured brokenly, \"Oh. Little Mlsa\nMouse!\"\nThe Meaning of Million*.\nIn astronomical calcu.uiioiis it is\nmost difficult to grasp the meuning of\nmillions of miles, but some Idea iu this\nconnection may be gathered from tbe\nstatement of the time that would be\nconsumed by an. express train or tbe\nshot from a cannon to cover celestial\nspace. Now, the distance from the\nearth to tbe huh is about 02.000.000\nmiles, and light traveling from the\nsolar luminary comes to us at the rate\nof 1S0.700 miles a second In vacuo. It\ntraverses this distance in eight and a\nqunrter minutes, but a railway train\nproceeding at sixty miles an hour\nwould take 175 years to cover the distance to the sun. The circumference\nof the ellipse forming the orbit of the\nearth around the sun Is about G77.7C0,-\n000 miles in length, nnd tbe earth covers this distance In 3(j5>4 days, traveling at the rate of <V>.Q10 miles an hour\nor 1.098 miles a minute, or nearly 1.100\ntimes as fast as a train going nt a\nmile a minute. It Is therefore clear\nihnt n train proceeding at this speed\nwould require nearly l.lOu years to accomplish the journey around the\nearth's orbit.\u2014London Tlt-Blts.\nf~    MY AEROPLANE,\nI woold not to b butterfly;\nI envy not tfie bird.\nThe wlnffs that lift him to the iter\u2014\nI hope to have gome by and- by.\nBut that may bo deferred. j\nMere vines, for all the pools aay,\nWould be more toll than eatn.\nBut when tbe thing has \"come to stay,\"\nWhen It's quite mire,  I  hope 1 may\nPosses* an oorotilu.no.\nThe stranger bcatliiK at my door\nWhom I have cause to shun\nWould not unnoy mo as before.\n1 should not shiver at the bore\nOr trernblo at tlio dun.\nBut lightly to my rooftree spring:\nAnd on mine airy crnft\nBerenoly from.hlii presence  wing,\nLeaving him there lo Knock anO ring\nTill lie were deuil or duft.\nAnd then to sally fur and wide,\nTo see as from n cloiui\nThe haunts or privacy or pride.\nPlaces ono wants in see Indiue\nBecause It's not allowed;\nTho grounds about  the ducal  hall,\nTho parvenu's abode,-\nTho park, tho pnlnee,  mom  of all\nThe nunnery behind tne wall.\nBo battling from the ronU \u2014\nIn truth, \"twoulii be a dear delight\nThese hidden ruiilniH to neu.\nBut. oh, It Is the ni'i-ri't riiRht\nWhen tho ndviintiittCH ot Dmht\nMuntly appeal to mo!\nThoro Is a certain tnnn I hnte.\nWith divers plm nnd plan\nI have Bchemeil enrly omi schemed late\nHopkins a  iumi Mini udequiu*\nKovomto upon Unit miln.\nYet one by one they ciinie lo nntiKht-\nSonie were too itcntle; some\nInvolved thc risk ot beinit ciiukIii.\nWhich wouldn't (In nt  (ill.

There\nwas but one way to stop them, a way\nbitterer than deniti. Still, she set her\nfeet toward It unfaltering.\nShe got up and sal by the window,\nwatching with noteless eyes the wheeling stars, the waning moonlight. Hut\nat the first pale dawn light she was\ntensely alive. Below she beard a\nstealthy stir, the cautious opening of\na door, with muUled voices and cautious steps outside. She got up and\ncrept to her brother's room, Lighted\ncandles mill glittered lhern. Upon tbo\ntable there was a brief will, the ink\nnot dry In the heavily scrawled signature. Beside It was a briefer statement: \"Let It be understood of nil men\nIf I die I shall huve died in n man's\nquarrel, founded on no personal grudge,\nbut resenting unjust aspersions upon\nmy native state.\" She almost smiled\nover It. The native stale counted to\nJoo for so very little in tlie ordinary\ncourse of life.\nTwenty minutes later.

Since .despatching by  telephone was inaugurated. It has  been distinctly successful, and in  every way superior U> lhe old  method of despatching by telegraph. \"  The electrical engineer of the company, \\V.  J.   Camp, was   indignant  at llu; idea thin the C.P.R. intended  doing away with its   newly installed  telephone system.      \"All one has lo  i\\o,\" s.'iid   Mr.    Camp,    \"to   understand how  thoroughly the company  believes in  the  despatching by telephone, is to  take cognisance  of lhe  iHimber of miles of new circuits now  being   installed    each   year.      Next  year   they   intended   lo   add    about  1200   miles   of  new   circuits.     The  appropriation   for the work   has not  yet been made,   but    l(X)0 miles is a  conservative estimate of the amount  lo be   installed.      Most   of this new  milage is to be   on western lines, as  the main lines of lhe eastern division  are   now   practically   all   using   the  telephone   .system.     The.   apparatus  will   be   installed    on    the   Ottawa  short line, .'but the rest ofllie installation  will   probably   take place on  the    lines    west    of   Fort   William.  When next year's installations have  been   made,   the   C.P.R.   will   just  about lead lhe world in   the number  of miles equipped with the telephone  circuits.     Already it has 4000 miles,  which places, it second on the list of  railroads using    this   system,    and  makes it easily the leading   railroad  in Canada in this respect.
