Green, M.P., wae\nthc guest of the Nelson Board of\nTrade on Thursday evening, and no\none exprenni.1 more strongly hie real\nization of the good condition\" which\nhave prevailed in thc Kootenay die.\ntrict during the past year.\nThe following Ifl Mr. Green's speech\nio response to the toast \"The Dominion of Canada.\" Tn responding\nMr. Green said'\n\"The Dominion of Oanada.J' He\ncongratulated the people of Nelson\nIn having such a live institution in\ntheir midst aB the Board of Trade.\nHe had never known a time when\ntho people of Nelson were not alive\nto the interests of Nelson, the district,the province, and the Dominion\nes a whole.\nThe Board of Trade had always\nbeen an institution for the City of\nNelson to he proud of. He also congratulated the city on the acquisition of the two new utilities and\nsaid he believed the time would arrive when the city would be glad\nthat it had control of the gas plant\nand the street railway.\nThe Dominion had grown IrJai ve: _\nsmall beginnings; it was today developing very rapidly from coaet to\ncoast, the* population waB growing\nwonderfully; it wns a country to be\na resident of which nny man should\nbe proud.\nThere had been a financial stringency, but it had touched tbe province of British Columbia least of any\nhe thought. Thc reason lt touched\nthe country at all was that the coun\ntry had been growing too rapidly\naud that so many bond issues had\nheen floated that Canadian securities were not looked upon as highly\nas they might have been.\nBut since tbat time the British\npuetmaster-geueral, British bankers\nund others prominent visitors had\ntravelled in tbe Dominion and on\ntheir return had told England not\ntbat Canada was borrowing too rapidly, but tbat it waa borrowing for\nlegitimate expansion, to meet the\nremarkable growth of population and\ndevelopment of tbe country, and he\nbelieved that this stringency would\nsoon pass away. ...\nHe mentioned the great shipbuilding yards to be built at Esquimau\nby a great old counsry shipbuilding\nArm. which constructed 1,300 vessels\nannually, as an indication of the\ngreat future of the province. This\nIlrm made a specialty of destroyera.\nRealising the future of the Pacific\ncoast the lirm had decided to build\nyarda at Esquimau and in a few\nyearB would he In a position to construct small naval vessels.\nSo great Iihh been the growth ot\nBritish Columbia that when tbe re-\n(tlstricution hill wns brought down\nnt tbe next session the province\nwould be biven double representa\ntlon; Kootenay would hnve two, mem\nbors in place of one.\nFor the man prepared to work hon\nestly with hand or bruin there could\nhe Hltle of bard times at present in\nHritisb Columbia, The monthly pny\nroll for railway construction nVni*\nIn the province was 18,500,000, With\nauch a payroll how could there be\nhard times In llrltlsh Columbia.\nII. was truo that there had been\n<ivor\u00abi-'*iilat.loii In real estate, hut\nthe prosperity of the province was\nnow on a Bound'basis.\nThe mining revival he had prnphe\nslsd for two years was coming. The\npayroll lm the Interior was greater\nthan it had been In the boom days,\nthe country was in a position to\nproduce more ore than it had ever\nbeen before.\nMining was now on a legitimate\nbasis; the old1 days of wild-catting\nwere gone.\nII. advised prospectors who had\nclaims which they could not now\nsell to hold their properties, because\na mining revival In British Columbia\nwould como as surely ns the sun\nwould rise tomorrow.\nHe spoke nf the progress which\nwns being made In the* reduction of\nlow grade zinc ores nnd satd that lf\nnot enough money wore voted to\ncarry thc experiments to a succesful\nconclusion and the government did\nnot make the appropriation required\nKootenay would have to find a new\nmember.\nBut ho did not think it would be\nnecessary for them to call for a new\nmember, because he knew Hon. Lewis Coderre well enough to feol sure\nthat the* necessary money would1, tie\nforthcoming.\nMr, Green referred to his experience as a member of the1 legislature\nand said tbat when be went to Ottawa he was curious to compare the\ntwo houses. Ho had a fairly good\nopportunity at the last session. It\nwas very pleasant to lie a member\nfrom Kootenay, but there had been\nn drawback. Last session he had to\nspend seven mouths in Ottawa, and\nof that timo the tlrst five months\nwere absolutely wasted owing to tbe\nblocking of the naval bill-\nComparing the two parliaments he\nsaid that the commons consisted of\na splendid body of men' and there\nwas more diversity of interests in\nthe subjects discuesed. He believed\nthe members from British Columbia\nwould compare very favorably with\nthose from any other province, and\nhe believed that tbe members of the\nprovincial house were as good as\nthose in the federal parliament. The\nparliament of British Columbia compared very favorably with the houBe\nof commons at Ottawa. The men of\nBritish Columbia had pioneer experience, in the opening of the country,\ncutting new paths and developing\nnew industries, and their outlook as\na result was broadened, their point\nof view enlarged.\nThe people of Cannda realised the\nresponsibilities to the empire and\nthe assistance they had received ;\nthey were sensible of tholr obligations and he believed that before\nlong Canada would be meeting her\nshare of the naval obligations which\nthe mother land had for long bo\nnobly borne alone.\nReport of \"Onward\"\nBible class\nThe members of the Onward Adult\nBible Class of the Methodist Church\nmet in the class room on Wednesday\nEvening of January 7th, for tbe semi\nannaul election of officers and to receive reports from the various committees on the work of the past six\nmonths, reports show that the class\nhas made great progress both In attendance and Its usefulness as a teacher training and bible study class.\nThe   treasurer   reports a favorable\nbalance ln hand after   all   accounts\nhave been paid.

McKay, superintendent of tho forest department of the\nprovincial government. The larger\nportion of these lands are logged-ofl\nand cut-over timber limits which are\ncapable of being converted into agricultural lands. In the Cranbrook\ndistrict there is a largo acreage (tf\nsimilar lands which have beeu surveyed by the provincial government,\nwhich is qelng petitioned by the Oon\nservative party and the Cranhrook\nBoard of Trade jointly, to throw o-\npen these lauds for settlement... The\npetition is being lui goly signed and\nwill soon be sent to tho Lieutenant\nGovernor in Council for coiisideru\nThese lauds in the Cranbrook dis\ntrict are declared to be ideal for all\nfruit and agricultural purposes. According to pland formed by tho provincial government, to obtain these\nlands, the applicant must be a boua\nfide settlor ami engaged in development work un bis land for three\nyears.\nLiberalism and Party\ncloak of deceit and conspiracy. No\ndoubt, this is chiefly due to the fact\nThere is no disguising the fact j this is chiefly due to the fact that\nthat Liberals throughout Canada are | the party went out of office wuh its\nsick and ashamed of their party. Sir) \"black bag ' well filled. A campaign\nWilfrid Laurler's indiscretion in : unparalled tn the history of Canada\nlaunching his free food policy, deem-j fur itH bitterness and deliberate un-\nIng it a political opportunity not to truthfulness has heen carried on by\nmissed, has placed the party in se- j the Liberal organization during the\nrions perplexity. The fact that this ! past two years. Methods both de-\nnew policy offers no feasible remedy   spirable    and     corrupt     have    been\nfor the food situation while at the\nsame time the fanner is abandoned\nby this old time professed friend\ncreates a condition of affairs which\namounts almost to a revolt against\nthe present, party Leadersnip.\nWhen in September, l'Jll, the Liberal party found itself relegated to\nopposition the Liberal press Immediately began to serve out a species\nof political consolement in the form\nof long editorials on high ideals iu\npolities, urging upon the party to\ntteep up the tight towards thoir realization. Since that time, the rank\nand tile of lho Liberal party have\nbeen comp'. lied reluctantly to acknowledge that Instead of any such\na guiding spirit, possessing their\nleaders they hake shown time ami\nagain a pervading baseness of spirit\nand tendency to play the game in a\nmost unscrupulous manner devoid of\nboth fairness and truth. The In-\nBincerlty Of the professions ol Sir\nWilfrid Laurier and his collogues\ncuu no longer be concealed and thnt\ntheir leader in a political opportunist tlrst and last has been undeniably proven. Liberals now realize\nthat it was not a mere whim ol the\npeople whlcb resulted In tho party's\ndownfall, but that dofeot was\nbrought about by the failure of the\n\"PartyJ' to do justice tO the people. The mistrust created will be\nlong in overcoming.     The wrong do\nIng   of    ti Party*' both definite\nand Indefinite must tie atoned for,\nTho period of pennace may be pn>\nlonged but it will hnve a refining\neffect.\nin the great complex <*f this conn-\ntry's affairs, allowance must bO made\nfor n certain nmount ol individual\nblunders ami misconduct. N<\u00bb party\nhns ever been Iree from such and\nnone  ever   will.       During  all   ot    its\nfifteen yenrs ol office tbe Liberal\nparty and its press exhibited anal-\nmost criminal resistance towards\nany admission ol tins fact Blunders\nand misconduct were domed or COH\ndoned, until, as happened in several\neases, public opinion demanded their\nrecognition. Liberal parliamentary\ncommittees constituted themselves\ninto \"whitewashing\" organisations,\nThe  scandals  they   were  required  to\nInvestigate   were   trivial   compared\nwith the scandalous methods of secrecy and suppression adopted.\nThe most dishonorable Conduct and\nwhat, occasioned the most public,dis- !\ntrust  wns not. the individual  malfea\nsance,   hut.    the   repudiations,   the\nbluster,   the   challenges  and   the  his\ntronle Indignation nil designed to\nrover Up whnt m the very Interest\nof the party Itself should have Item\nexposed.     The greater    culpability\n(xist.H  in   those  long  BllenCM ond the\nrepeated and obstinate struggle   to\nsuppress any discussion and any\npublication of transactions of I discreditable character,\nCut of office,      (be  LlbeMl    party\nbus   not.   yet    divesled   Itself     of    Its\nadopted in practically every bye-election held since the party's defeat\nIn Mil and at the same time tbe\nmost disgraceful Charges of corruption have been made against the\ngovernment only to react most uncomfortably  upon  the  Liberals.\nThe public disillusionment is complete. The Liberal party stands re\nvealed iu its true character. The\ngang of conspirators who for self\nttgrundisemeiit have so long been\nsheltered and fattened under \"Vho\nbanner of Liberalism have been dis\ncovered. The many indications of\nfile of the party presages a general\nS gathering fury of the rank and\nclean-up and a new beginning. Wirepuller's dinners to discredited politicians must bo abandoned, tbe present party organization with its\nuntaxing display of trldUery must be\ncast ofl. The lush temptations of\noffice must give place to an intelligent faith in the principles of Liberalism before the party can ever hope\nto possess that solidarity which will\nInduce tbo public to again entrust\nit  with office.\nA long sojourn in the bracing\nwilderness of opposition \u25a0\u2022* the only\npossible method of a chastening re-\n1 > nst ruction.\nThe lenght of that sojourn depends\nentirely upon how soon tho present\nparty leaders will accept the inevitable.\nThere is no other hope but that.\nDevelop Large Ore\nBodies at Sullivan\nThe Sullivan none at Kimberley is\nowned   and   operated   by   the   I'-.nsol\nIdated Mining a_ Smelting company.\n0 ll McDougall is in charge of the\nproperty Besides the claims that\nbelonged to the Fori Steel Mining\n__ Smelting company u others have\nbeen   purchased\nThe vein is nearly tint   and   was\nworked   by   a  shaft    the   tenth   love)\nwa-* only 100 ft   below tbe collar (if\nthe shaft A tunnel was run to connect with this level and this is now\nthe main Working tunnel of the mine\nDeloW this level the vein has ron\nstderabty more pitch and a winze\nwas sunk 100 ft Last year the main\ndriven steadily ahead this year into\ntunnel wos in 2,30. ft., and has been\nnew ground, which bas heen thorough\nly diamond drilled.

The remainder of the surface\nplant was moved down to the tunnel mouth and thc construction of\nthe shops, etc., completed this year.\nA steam heating plant for all the\nmine bunk houseB and buildings has\nbeeu installed. The shops are housed\niu a building built last year. This\nbuilding is 112 ft. by 5 ft., and situated near the tunnel mouth. Power\niB supplied by a 30 horsepower motor\nThe equipment consists of a forge, a\nWard drill sharj enlng machine, an\nair hammer for tho blatlcsmith shim,\ntwo lathes, shears, drill press, metal\nsaw, planer and pipe threader, The\ncarpenter shop is equipped with timber framing saws and such necessary\nequipment. A Sullivan diamond drill\ning machine is also at the property\nOue hundred men are employed at\ntho property, 60 of whom are underground. The output is about 100\ntons of crude ore per day.\nSeven big machines are at preseut\nin use breaking about __;'. tons id\ncrude'ore, second ClaSSOre and waste\nper day.

Very little timber\nis required in the mine, Wheu a\nstone cribbing erected to take up any\nStops cots too big Pillars loft, or a\nfreight from the roof.\nBetween the old shaft and the rock\nbo ise several old prospect shafts had\nbeen sunk, showing the existence Dl\na body ol ore very near the surface.\nThis ore was stripped by a scraper\noperated by a compressed air hoist.\nThe ore was then mined by tbo glory\nhole method. This work is only car\nried on in the summer time.\nThe ore is hauled to the rock house\nand the waste to the waste dumps\nby a four-ton Jaffray electric locomotive, running on 30-pound rails\nand pulling a train of eight 2 J-ton\ncars. The rock house is .00 ft. from\nthe tunnel mouth, the track is covered by a roof to keep it free from\nsnow in the winter.\nMETHOD OF HANDLING ORE\nAt the rock house tho crude ore is\ndumped over a three-inch grizzly, tbe\ntines going to a storage bin, whence\nthey are passed through a BlX-fOOt\n25 mm. trommel. The fines Jrom the\ntrommel may be directed to tbe aerial tramway bin, tho waste bin or\nsecond class ore bin. The same also\napplies to the oversize. The overslie\nfrom the grizzly go to the bin from\nwhence they are drawn into a 15x24\nin. Parrel jaw crusher, from which\nthey pass to the pickling belt. The\noversize from the trommel and the\nteed from the chruaher are not usually put on the pickling belt at the\nsame time.\nThe picking belt is a 50 ft. link\nconveyor steel belt 36 in. wide, giving a 30 ft. sorting table length.\nThree classes of ore are sorted,\nFirst class ore is anything over 14|\nper cent, lead, If not too high ih\nzinc. This is thrown down chutes to\nthe tramway terminal bins beneath.\nSecond class ores is anything containing below 141 lead or over 14J\nlead, if too high in zinc. This goes\ntu tbe second class ore binB, from\nwhich it is drawn ami run out to\ntho second class ore dump. The 3rd\nproduct is waste and clean pyrrohito\nwhich is run nut to the waste dumps\nTho second class ore from the mine\nis dumped down into a separate bin.\nIf it contains any clean ore of ship\nping grade, it is put thraugh the\nrock house; If not, lt is drawn directly from the bin and takeu to the\nsecond class ore dump.\nThe aerial tramway to tbe C.P.R.\ntrack is loaded by n lelMoader, The\nchute   gates   are  operated   by  com-\npressed air\nPOWBR PLANT\nThe hydraulic power plant consists\n..r two six foot pelton wheels driving\na 3D drill compressor and one six-\ntoot Pelton driving a 150 k.w. 2080-\nvolt Royal electric generator.\nThe wheels are controlled by Lombard governors.
