ROSE Proprietor x x X X X X X '% X X -5 X X X X X X X s He is surely of little faith who can look about him in Hedley, these days and not realize that barriers are breaking loose and\" the better day is right at hand. For years we have borne the taunt of being the \"one mine canip\", Imt there is now every indication that that state of affairs is all but past. Nevertheless under the status of the \"one mine camp\", we have not done so badly. Only five years of -produc-- tion have elapsed and that with the modest equipment of but forty stamps and yet tlie output of gold has reached a point well beyond the two million dollar mark. . The one concern .which has been producing has only touched three or four of its claims and it owns about two dozen of them. Their plant is ill- adapted in several particulars for ecomomic accomplishment ' of the work which they have to do and the wonder has always been that they can be satisfied with it. It is bub rarely' that any installation has been made where material changes for betterment have not been found necessary, and true economy demands immediate correction of mistakes. The longer a so-called mistake is used without change, the stronger must become the assumption that the best had been 'done in bhefirsb \"place tlfcit5\"c61]ld: have been done under the circumstances. Bub there is a belief that the Company are at last going to abandon the policy of drifting \"along and are about to adopt a more progressive program. Indeed1 the new Water' Clauses Act now before tHe legislature which aims at getting the inost possible rise out of all existing streams may compel the abandonment of a policy which needlessly wastes power, -when power isso badly needed. , The success vvhich,has attended de-\" velopmetib work on the Kingston group has placed it beyond all reasonable doubt that the camp has there another good mine. It is up to the owners to 'rise to the occasion and complete arrangements for more extensive operations. Track-laying will be underway in the course of a few weeks and anything which they may require in the. way of a plant can be brought in by rail as soon as they can be ready to use it. The Golden Zone Company have already gone to work, and we have reason to believe thab there will be no cessation in that quarter until they have given to the camp another steady producer. \" ' \"\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd'.''' The bond-holders of bhe Sacramento are making arrangements for work on that claim with most encouraging prospects thab what lias been achieved on the adjoining Metropolitan claim can bo repeated there. The Bradshaw group is likely to see extensive operations during the, co'm- summer. The Pollock mine is another property which only awaits tho expenditure\", of a very small amount to make it a producer. Then there is the Apex group from which much is expecbed during the present year. With all these at our very doors, the. advent of the raijis into Hedley a few weeks\" hence, should witness important changes.

CARD OF THANKS. Mrs. J. L. Caldwell and Mrs. Greenhill desire to express their thanks to the people of Hedley for kindness shown them in their bereavement. Mrs. J. L. Caldwell. Hon. Mr. Tatlow moved the second reading of a, Bill to amend the Succession Duty Act. i Here the principal change from the old Act' is that it prdv ides that all estates before being: probated must be submitted to the Firitmee Minister. Formerly this rule applied' only to estates of-over $5,000: Mr. Oliver'was to the fore with some questions'relative to wrirkdone in the Coquitlam* dyking disti'ict. He charged* that certain drainage work there 'had' not been done'fdr the benefit of the public, but for that of private individuals. The Premier assured \"him that the draining' of the farm of Mr. Alber- son, to whom Mr. Oliver referred, was a simple act of justice as his land had' been flooded by the Government dyking works.s \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdHbn. Mr. Tatlow's Bill to amend the Succession Duties Act passed second reading. Bills brought in by Brewster of Alberni and Mclnnis of Grand Forks were voted down on the' ground that they were calculated to'- unduly hamper bhe mining industry, and wexe therefore, not in the true interests of labor. . . The Flathead Valley railway bill was passed; as was the attorney general's bill to amend the Magistrate's acb and the Arbitration act. -..- Debateon* the Grancl-*Trunk Pacific bill was postponed at the request\"of the-\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdopposition.. This was a bill to ratify the agreement made by the government with the G. T. P. with reference to the Prince Rupert Town- site. . A Bill to incorporate the Victoria. & Barclay Sound Railway, a new line intended to connect Victoria with the West Coiist, was passed, and a Bill for a railway on Graham Island was introduced. Mr. McPhillips introduced a Bill to incorporate the B. C. Permanent Loan Company. ' - The Vancouver Northern Railway Bill passed its first reading, and .'was referred to the Railway Committee. On Thursday next the clubmen will meet the Executive with objections against the Bill to license clubs. - There was a conflict of Dominion and Provincial interests in the Bill to incorporate the Shuswap and North Thompson River Boom Company. The company has already secured booming rights on the river from the Dominion Parliament but were told that they must go to the Provincial Legislature to have those rights conipleted. Here the petition is'being bitterly opposed by a number of letters and counter petitions, mostly from Sa- vonas. One of these goes so far as to declare that in tin* first place the Dominion charter was only secured through the misrenroscntntion and subornation of facts in the* Dominion Parliament, by W. II. Galliher, M. P., Duncan Ross, M. P.. and Senator Bostock, unci that the powers asked for would be subversive of the rights of everyone else operating on the river. Mr. Harold Robertson appeared in support of the petition, but the Committee resolved to lay it over fox- one clay to give its opponents time to appear against it. The new Water Clauses Act, dealing with irrigation and tlie distribution of water in the Dry Belt of the Province, was brought in by tlie Hon. Mr. Fulton, Minister of Lands. The principle difference between the old act and the new is that instead of procuring a record at first hand as i before, a licence is now taken out to use writer under certain conditions and restrictions. The Province is divided into districts for administration purposes with Gazette readers will be pleased to know thab the Apex Group, a short distance to the east of the Nickel Plate, will join' the *list of working properties, in this camp. W. D. McMillan who was principal owner in this group of which W. J. Forbes is also part owner, went east several weeks ago in .connection with transfer of the property, although negotiations had been in progress for some time before. The purchasers are the Colonial Gold Mining Co. of New York. The Gazette is familiar with the property having visited it personally when1 development work was in progress four years ago, ab which time our readers were given a descriptive write-up conveying the favorable impression which we formed from what was bo be seen. We have now gone over the literature issued by the Colonial Gold Mining Co. carefully, and are most pleased to note the care \"which they have taken to state the absolute facts connected with the property. This feature in itself will give added confidence to people in the Similkameen that the right class of promoters have control of the property, for their confidence in the Apex group is such as to satisfy them that if it is given a fair show by capable mining and honest administration it is bound to win out. and will not reqnire any great time or large expenditure of money to do so. PROGRESS ON KINGSTON GROUP Good Headway Being Made in the Metropolitan Tunnel. M. K. RODGERS' NEW MINE. Reports From Prince Rupert as to Progress on Goose Bay. Prince Rupert, February 3.\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdFrank Edwards aiid Rod MacDougall are down from the Goose, Bay Mines, where they worked for two months. About 40 men are employed at the mines; hilt only a few work outside owing to the weather'. They are cutting wood, teaming, and keeping ice from choking rip,the penstock. At the mine, a- tunnel is being driven to strike the ore body. lb is in 300 feet,'and in 50 feet more, it is estimated, the ore body will be reached. A tramway two miles long will connect the mine with navigable water. The.first mile will be operated by cable and the second with an electric' engine. The grading for the second mile is-almost-as--heavy work as on the G. T. P., and when conpletecT will be a good job. The work done at Goose Bay is of the best, iind the mine promises to be one of the big producers of British Columbia. The ore is copper, carrying values in gold. COMMONS NOTES. Clarke of Essex has introduced a bill ab Ottawa to make railways responsible for full damage by fire caused by engines, whether resulting from carelessness or not. Taylor, of New Westminster is probing into the matter of Bill Miner's escape, which Aylesworth resents as unwarranted interference, and discredits Bourke's threats. The opposition are pressing for an inquiry. Leniieux's bill to compensate for loss of registered mail up to $25.00 in value lias passed. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdFoster objects to prison labor competing with free white labor, and cited instance of where 9B pews had been made by prisoners for a church in'Quebec at a cost of $10(5.00. Tlie government whips have intimated that no assistance will be given this session for railsvav building. Work is progtessing rapidly on the new tunnel which Manager Pollock started about ten days ago to strike the ore body on the Metropolitan. By.following his ore through shaft, drift and winze on the Metropolitan, he knew exactly how bo go after it with the tunnel; and to eliminate any possibility of mistake he had a .survey made, and points given him to enable him to steer to the exueb spob which he wants to reach. This tunnel should reach it in about 92 feet, and we understand thab of ^this distance something over 25 feet has already- been run. The rock which they are driving through is quite hard, but it breaks well and because of this they are making very good headway. The benefits to be derived from this tunnelare far-reaching, in the matter of convenience'and cheapness of working, for it will do away with hoisting muck and will supply drainage, to say nothing of the splendid ventilation that will be secured when connection is made between the tunnel and the shaft. PUTTING THEM NEXT. Martin Burrell, M. P., Tells Montrealers About British Columbia's Resources. - The Resources of British Columbia formed the subject on which Mr. Max-bin Burrell, M. P. for Yale-Cariboo, gave an inberesbing talk to the members of the Canadian club at the weekly luncheon on Feb. 9th. Mr. Burrell jocularly touched upon the \"encyclopedic ignorance\" which prevailed in some quarters regarding British Columbia, and then went on to -describe the com- mercial value of the Pacific waters which bounded British Columbia and the shores of the million islands bhere. Concluding, Mr. Bu-erelL.dealb,,wibh what he called \"distinctively British Columbia questions.\" First, there were bhe difficulties of settling a country with such extraordinary geographical conditions. These conditions called for \"better terms\" from the Dominion Government, a necessity which everybody acknowledged' who had firsthand Knowledge of the province. Then there was the problem of Asiatic immigration. . , In regard to this, he' believed thab the preservation of bhe social and industrial life of the Canadian children and the children's children depended upon the wisdom with which this problem was dealt. He believed that the views of bhe west on bins question were sound,, and personally he emphatically .'endorsed the sentiments of Mr. Rudyard Kipling thab they must choose between their own kith and kin and an alien and undesirable, separated in his aims and instincts .from them by thousands of , vears. OBITUARY a provincial water commissioner and district water commissioners who will adjudicate upon applications according to amount of water applied for. If, the amount is less than four cubic- feet per second, the approval of the water commissioner will bo obtained and the; responsibility of seeing that tin- interests of the public are conserved. Existing rights that are being used will not be interfei'ed with, and certain provisions are made for existing rights thab are not ab present utilized. A hydrographic survey of streams is provided for in the bill. On Thursday evening of last week the end came for J. L. Caldwell who has been ailing for about a year, although it was not until September last that he gave up work. His -\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd'- meiit was diagnosed as \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd \"pernieio .., anaeniia\"\\vhich comprised a number of other complaints, effecting special organs, such as tho heart, stomach, liver and kidneys, but only as concomitants of the. general malady. Last spring In;, went to Spokane for medical advice and so far as known the opinion obtained there was in accord with local diagnosis. His work on the wagon road during the. summer seemed to aggravate the malady, and about the end of August ho was obliged to give up. For some weeks his condition was very serious and the end appeared near, but shortly afterwards during a trip to Vcnon and treatment there, he seemed to do bettor, bub these temporary improvement were only phases of the general malady. Deceased was highly thought of in the community. He was industrious and capable; and discharged his duty at all times.to the best of his ability. Besides a widow and one child he leaves i'our brothers to mourn his loss. Mrs. Caldwell has the sympathy of all in her bereavement.

Al! that the board really do is to,guarantee the solvency of a j company at the time it goes into the association, but Canadian policy-holders do not need this for the government is pledged to supervision of companies to that end. It would appear that this is a case where delegations might do some good at the capital, and electors would be acting in their own interests by instructing their .representatives to keep out of the scrap and allow the board companies to pull their own chestnuts .out' of the lire, instead of trying to have the legislature do it-'for them. s^fciMliW^r.-AKSsyi EDITORIAL COMMENTS . THAT INSURANCE EMBARGO ; Au important matter is now beforethe B^C. legislature that ,...]is engaging the attention of insurance men. A measure is being discussed in the house to compel fire insurance companies from other provinces to putup a deposit of $30,000 before they can do business in this province. It is a most significant feature that the . measure was introduced at the instance of 'representatives of what .is known as board companies. Noc only is the war being waged at Victoria but the boards of trade in various centres are taking the matter up and hot debates where arguments pro and con, but : principally con, are the order of the day. The Vancouver board of trade has put itself on record by appointing a strong delegation to go to Victoria to oppose the measure; but before this delegation was appointed the question was exhaustively gone into by members of the board of trade. In that debate the speakers seem- ' ed to line-xip on the dividing point of board insurance men against business men and non- board men, although one or two instances were shown of ., insurance men who represented non-board companies that have already obtained a foothold in the province joining with the board companies to keep other companies out by imposing this $30,000 restriction. The business men claimed that business houses in Vancouver were being fleeced by extortionate rates which the insurance board was pledged to maintain and that some of the companies that the bill was calculated to keep out would give insurance for one- fifth less cost and with as great if not greater measure of safety to policy holders. Speakers who opposed the measure were prepared to show that the pub. lie had been misled by the mythical character of the supposed safety afforded to policyholders who placed their insurance with board companies; There was no guarantee that The Hansard report of ' Mr. Burrell's speech at Ottawa, on the address, is to hand, and although-the favorable: comment on that speech, appearing in Eastern papers led us to expect something particularly good, it required a. perusal of the speech itself to convey\" airy proper idea of the genuine ability displayed therein by the representative of Yale-Cariboo. We regret Chat the space at our desposal' will not warrant a reproduction of it, but we hope that Mr. Burrell will be able to secure fnom the public: printing- bureau a sufficient number.-of copies to distribute to electors in the riding. *V development reduce the fuel problem in bhe abstract to a practical commercial resultant.

Ottawa, Feb9th\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdWhen Mr. Fisher's bill to amend the animals contagious disease's act came up today in the House of Commons, a long discussion ensued. The bill was rendered necessary by a misplaced word in last year's bill. Protests were made against the practice, of refusing compensation to 'farmers whose, animals were, slaughtered to suppress contagion unless slaughtered by order of government officials. This made the farmer suffer for his caution and public spirit in killing animals before the harm was done, while the man who waited for the disease to spread and the govern \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd menbofficer bo arrive was compensated. J. D. Taylor and Martin Burrell asked for more compensation.- for animals slaughtered in: British Columbia, where cattle, were more valuable. Mr. Fisher would nob make any definite promises.

The manufacturer seeking a location, the railroad surveying a new line, the hoineseeker deciding his place of residence, must eventually largely base their conclusions on the availability of coal supplies, its quantity and its ultimate cost to the consumed, and when the comsumer can with absolute security, become also a producer, he reaches the peak of commercial efficiency, dividing his cost of consumption by the profits of his production.

An important newspaper change took place last week when an amalgamation of the old Loomis Prospector and the Oroville Gazette-was accomplished.

The suggestion they make is to arrange for a distinctive Similkameen display which is to include farm and orchard produce and minerals and to send a man to take charge of the display, \"as they will be sending fresh fruits and vegetables all the time to take the place of samples that are wilting. They suggest a joint meeting at Hedley to arrange for financing the cost of sending exhibit and sending a man to take charge. Jt- would seem that a question to be determined firsb is whether the exhibition authorities would permit a mixed display of that kind being made. As they will have separate buildings for minerals and agricultural produebs, bhey might not wanb bo fall in with theideaof mixing it up in that'fashion. The old adage that \"those who laugh last laugh safest\" bids fair to be exemplified in the experience of holders of Wireless stock. Two months ago the know-it-alls were both wise and facetious, but the financial statement received by the stock-holders last week which showed cash in treasury $100,400, bills receivable $176,500 and bills payable, (current monthly) only $15,550, makes the laugh on the other side. The.earnings are increasing by leaps and bounds month by month, and it is on that basis alone thab advances in the price of stock are made. The stock-holders in annual meeting held on January 12th voted to pay no dividend from the cash balance in hand of over a quarter of a million dollars, bub to expend it in construction work putting in new stations and enlarging the factory capacity so as to enable theiii to turn out apparatus as fast as new contracts come in. For months past the factories have been working day and night to supply apparatus required and were far behind in then- orders. United Wireless is a very much alive concern.

That there are beaver in the Similkameen Valley to-day, and thab bhey possess much of the industry and skill in hydraulic engineering and darn building with which the species has been credited, there is not the shadow of a doubt. No one that we have heard of has caught sight of them for bhey remain hidden during bhe day-time, but their work may be seen any day by anyone driving between here and Keremeos. The game laws protect them, and it is hoped thab severe punishment.will be meted out to anyone, whether white man or Indian, who is known to trap or kill any of them. On Atherbon's flab, near bhe mouth of the Ashnola, they have a dam in course of construction and are making excellent headway in the building of it, while the open space that they have made since last fall by felling trees from twelve to fifteen inches in diameter, represents work that would cost aboub $50 or $60 to have done by ordinary day labor. Ib is true bhey are making prebby free with Mr. Abherbon's timber, and up to the present we are not aware that the government timber inspector has succeeded in collecting from them any stumpage dues for trees already cut down, but so far as injuring fruit trees is concerned, if the charge were made openly to them it would be indignantly denied. There is also another place on the river, at the lower end of brushy bottom, where a colony of beaver are at work, but possibly these may not have heard about the close season, for their work is far less conspicuous than Atherton's colony. 4g* \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd <\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd 9 \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd' \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd *\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd* \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Try ^wwwvwmniAw Vfctoria Cross \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd CEYLON TEA.

THE HEDLEY GAZETTE, FEBRUARY 18, 191 '9. WHEN COAL IS KING The Bituminous Coal Beds of the North- \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd.; west Will be Gold Mines .'; The annual report of,'A. Bryan Wil- . .liams, provinciiil. game and forest warden, is an unsuaily interesting and satisfactory one. It shows . that the new sy'sbc'in'introduced last year is working; wc*!!;' and -that the big game of \".the provinco, with the exception of the wapiti on Vancouver' 1slan'd, is on tlie increase. Tlie report is far boo , long for reproduction in a newspaper, bub ib will repay reading by all sportsmen interested in \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdthe'game resources of British Colum-j bia and their preservation. The special grant of $10,000 made last year for the first bime by bhe legislature has been bub libtle drawn upon, as the revenue from licenses and so forth comes to within some $200 of that amount. At the same time the i-evenue thus assured hasmer- mibted the engaging of game wardens who have done good work. Addition- game wardens are recommended; and it is pointed out that \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdin' addition to their ordinary duties' they are frequently able to Tend valuable assistance to the .provincial police. These wardens are particularly needed in the country to be traversed by the G.T.P. and the McConnell creek district, \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdwhere there are thousands of caribou. Numerous evasions of the license laws along bhe. coast as far as bhe head' of Vancouver island are reported. The offenders are from theStates and come in launches or yachts and rarely if ever tu'keVub a'license to shoot. The purchase of a. fast launch is advocated, so that these gentry may be looked after. It is also suggested that it be made an offence to -carry firearms with out a license. The revenue from big game licenses amounted to $7700 during the past year. The Indians appear to have given little trouble last yeiir, andthekeeping of the Stony Indians from Alberta out of the province has had a splendid effect on the game on the eastern boundary. In the East Kootenay reserve the game is increasing, and it is suggested that the reserve be made a permanent national park. The importation of European red deer and chamois is suggested, and it is pointed out that the former have been most successfully acclimated in New Zealand. Moose are increasing and spreading further south ; caribou have been seen in great numbers in Cassiar ; deer except near the coast cities, appear to be on the increase, while East Kootenay is being restocked wibh wapiti. On Vancouver Island, however, these animals are being heavily shot for their teeth, and protective measures are said to be absolutely necessary. The outlook for sheep isl also encouraging. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd -\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd'\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd.. A plea is. entered for the grizzly bear, said to be nearing extermination in some sections. He is stated to be really very timid and \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd it is suggested that it'be prohibited to trap him. The beaverhave increased enormously inSoubhera British Columbia,andin some parts of Kootenay, Okanagan. Similkameen and Kdmloops sufficiently so to be a nuisance to fruit-growers. Permission to kill them under restrictions is suggested. The report is not so encouraging as to game birds, though even, in this case it would seem thab, generally speaking, conditions are improving.'
