It believes that advertising- is the life of trade; and that one of the noblest works of\ncreation is the man who always pays the printer.\nThe Ledge is $2.00 a year in advance, or $2.50 when not so paid.\nIt is postage free to all parts of Canada, Mexico, Great Britain and\nthe county of Bruce.

Whatever spoils life is sin.\nLove is the core of religion, and\nis called the greatest thing in the\nworld, becanse love invariably\nraises the value of the beloved one\nin our eyes. The mother thinks\nher children remarkable. The\nlover thinks his mistress adorable.\nThus a glow descends upon the\nhuman creature. The leaden becomes golden.\nThe belief in God clings ttf the\nrace because it is that conception\nwhich adds dignity and worth to\nhuman nature. Man is more than\na mere animal. He is a divine\nsomething.\nIt is only when we conceive-of\nreligion thus that we conceive how\nit is a source of morality.

She takes in her\nhand a small straw effigy of the\nfaithless one, and in her right hand\na hammer and nails. Walking\ngravely to the sanctuary, she\nselects one of the sacred trees and\nnails the effigy securely to the\ntrunk. She then prays for the\ndeath of the traitor, vowing that\nif her wish is granted she will take\nout the nails which trouble her\ngod, since they are fastened to *\na&cred tree. Night after night she\ncomes to the tree, adding one or\ntwo nails, and repeating her prayers, persuaded that the god will\nnot hesitate to sacrifice the man to\nsave the tree.\nIn the heart of the snow-clad\nRockies, hundreds of miles west\nof Edmonton, lies a lake whose\nwaters are always troubled, into\nwhich a large river flows but oufe\nof which there is no visible exife.\nThe leader of a forest survey party\nsent out by the Dominion Forestry\nBranch to examine the forests in\nthis wild region states that the\nIndians shun this lake as the abode\nof evil spirits, and, to give credence\nto this superstition, from time to\ntime deep rumblings may be heard\nwhere far below the surface the\nwater swirls throngh the hidden\noutlet. The river that enters the\nlake rushed from a subterranean\ncave many miles down the valley,\nthe portal of which no man has\never yet passed. ,\nLast summer the Dominion Forestry Branch sent eight survey\nparties into the forests of the great\nwest, and the story of their experiences reads like fiction. One\nparty spent the summer in the\nwild region of northern Manitoba;\nthree parties were in the hill country of Saskatchewan north of\nPrince Albert; one party was in\nthe Rockies all summer; another\nwas cut off from civilization fo\nseveral months in the low-lying\nmuskeg region of northern Alberta\nnear Lesser Slave Lake, and two\nparties explored the remote up\nland plateaus of the Railway Belt\nin B.C.

The production of metals,\ncoal and coke in the Kootenay and Boundary districts of \"British fCol-\numbla for the year 1913 amounted to the grand total of $20,629,315.\nThe following dividends were paid by some of the Kootenay-Boun-\ndary mines during 1913: Granby Consolidated Mining and Smelting\nCompany, $SS9,901.90; Standard mine, CSilverton, $650,000; Hedley\nGold mine, $360,000; Consolidated Mining and Smelting Company,\n$232,176; B.C. Copper Company, $88,675; Le Roi No. 2 $43,000. The\nGranby company alone have paid since 1903 to 1913 inclusive dividends\nto the extent of $5,376,004.20. It is safe to say that a considerable\nportion of the profits of the Granby smelter at Grand Forks has been\ninvested in the new miqe and smelter at Hidden Creek. The same is\ntrue of the B.C. Copper Co., Greenwood. While paying dividends they\nhave also expended a great deal of money in acquiring new properties\nand developing same. The Consolidated Mining and Smelting Co., of\nTrail has not, until the last few years, been paying dividends to any\nextent, for the simple reason they have been using the profits in the\ndevelopment of new properties, having large holdings in the Rossland\ncamp. For instance, they have the War Eagle, the old Le Roi, tbe\nCentre Star, Iron Mask, Josie as well as the adjoining claims, the Molly\nGibson, on Kootenay Lake, the old Silver King at Nelson, the Sullivan\nGroup at Kimberley. Likewise in the Ainsworth camp and Slocan\ndistrict. '\nIt is pleasing to note that all these properties, such as the Le Roi,\nCenter Star, Silver King, Molly Gibson, the Sullivan and Ainsworth\ncamp properties were practically considered, from a public standpoint,\nmore or less*as played out mines. Today these properties are estimated\nto be more valuable than ever and large producers for years to come.\nThis has been brought about by capable and economical management.);\n. The wonderful optimism regarding mining mining prevailing during\n1912 and 1913 in the Kootenay and Boundary districts, is, I feel confident, going to be thoroughly justified. The great Standard mine'in\nSlocan only a few years ago was not tempting enough to keep attached\nto it the men who are now foremost in the ownership. The old timer\nthe Silver King, is again to the fore, giving employment at the present\ntime to some 85 men. The Slocan Star, that has made many of its\noriginal owners comfortable for life, is, with development of new found\nore bodies, likely to do the same for the present owners. The Molly\nGibson, Kootenay Lake, is another instance of what proper management will do. The early owners of this property were inexperienced\nmen with insufficient capital to develop properly, consequently it was\nsold for a small amount. Today the old Molly Gibson is considered\none of the best silver lead properties in the country.\nIn the Ainsworth camp such mines as the Highland and the Silver\nHoard, the Maestro, the Banker, the old Bluebell, better than ever,\nthe Gallagher, and the Florence have all been steadily under development during 1913 and considerable ore was shipped.\nThe Ufcica mine has passed the stage of a prospect and is now one of\nthe coming silver lead properties in the Slocan. The U.S. in Jackson\nBasin, near Kaslo, is also becoming a shipper. The Whitewater, the\nWhitewater Deep and the Washington have been highly developed and\nwill renew shipments, and also many other properties in this .district\nlocated on the K. & S. Railway, which is expected to be ready to handle\nores from these mines in May.\nProperties around Trout Lake and Ferguson, in the Lardo, have\nbeen receiving development, but not to the extent the properties warrant. It is a case of lack of capital. On the Slocan lake the great\nproducing Standard, tbe Hewitt, Vancouver, Rambler Cariboo, and\nOttawa are all shippers, and there are many others being developed.\nThen we have the Sheep Creek and the Bayonne districts. In the\nSheep Creek district the Mother Lode and the Queen have proven very\nprofitable, especially the former. The owners, we understand, are trying to acquire further properties with a view to extending their holdings. In tbe Bayonne district, owing to lack of transportation facilities, no great extent of development, with the exception probably of\nthe Spokane group, has been ca.ried on this winter.\nIn the Ymir district the Second Relief, Wilcox, Yankee Girl and\nmany other properties are producing at the present time. In the Nelson district the B. C. Copper Company are developing the Victoria\nproperty, making large shipments to their smelter at Greenwood; likewise with the Eureka. Such properties as the Perrier mine, a gold\nproperty, tbe California and Venus are beinn developed. A few cases\nonly are cited, but a great many more are receiving the same attention.\nSome are large properties and will being turning out immense tonnage\nduring the year 1914. Others have been worked on a smaller scale by\nthe owners themselves.\nThen we have the undeveloped properties awaiting capital. These\nare here in abundance. Take for instance the Bayonne camp. The\nlarge and continuous veins have been opened up to a certain stage. It\nis a camp of such dimensions that it requires large capital for the initial\ndevelopment, as it is necessary to have power and mills. There are the\nundeveloped mineral bodies of the great Lardo district, covering from\nKootenay lake to Ferguson. Also the Duncan river section; there is\nthe Lardeau district, reaching from the Arrow lakes, where tremendous bodies of all classes of ore awaits development, Also large, valuable bodies in East Kootenay and all through the interior, both in the\nKootenays and Boundary,\nConsidering the climate;- our mineral resources, which I think we\nmight say are among the best in the world; our transportation facilities,\nconsidering the mountainous country; the abundance of timber and the\namount of water power going to waste, it is almost an appeal I am\nmaking to those interested in this great industry. The past record of\nBritish Columbia should not count against her. The losses sustained\nwere due, in many instances, to stock jobbing, impractical management, and a good deal of misplaced faith, as many of those who came\nto British Columbia in the early days to mine had not the practical\nexperience, but did have control of tbe expenditures, and it was not a\nquestion of mining with them as it was pleasure. Those days are past\nand gone. We are now a settled community. Oar mining is conducted on a commercial basis.\nI have no hesitation in saying that anyone who desires to invest in\nmining, if they will have their engineers examine properties, and are\nprepared to put up money for development purposes, can procure properties of great merit on a development basis, or lease and bond, at the\nmost reasonable terms. When we consumate the solution for our complex zinc and lead ores on a commercial basis, we venture to say that\nthere is no country in the world offering greater opportunities for securing the amount of returns on investments in the development of our\nmineral bodies, which cover practically all well known metals, including the platinum group, molybdenum, tungsten, vanadium, magnesium, and various earth metals, also large bodies of hematlie, specular\nand magnetite iron. The quality and immense tonnage warrants the\nbuiding of reduction plants. With the increased demand for various\nmetals the necessity will call for further smelting facilities.\nThis resume of the mining industry and possibilities for investment\nin same is made with a view of having it placed before those who may\nbe interested in the matter of investment. My position for many years\nas president of the Associated Boards of Trade of Eastern British Columbia has given me thorough knowledge of the possibilities of the vast\nmineral values of the country generally.\nI would be glad to extend to anyone making application full particulars regarding any class of our mineral wealth.\nYours respectfully,\nFRED _L STARKEY,\nNelson, B.C., Canada}\nBeautiful Pieced Silverware and\nRich C ut Gla ss for Spring Brides\nOut1 catalogue illustrates with special pf oxnifl-\nence. those two tine lines which are looked\nupon with the highest favor by all wedding gift\nbuyers, and are exceedingly appropriate for the\npurpose,\nWe offer this silverware, manufactured in\nour own factory by expert silversmiths, at the\nlowest possible cost to you.\nOur Cut Glass stock contains the best grades\non the market, made in all the newest designs,\nAll goods ordered through our Mail Department will be sent prepaid to all points in B, C.\nand money will be refunded where goods are\nnot entirely satisfactory,\nHENRY (BIRKS & SONS, LIMITED\nJEWELERS AND SILVERSMITHS\nGeo, E Trorey, Man.
