William Sloan, minister\nof mines, expresses tlie greatest confidence in British Columbia's premier\nIndustry, and greatest natural resource. ,\n\"While the actual mineral output for\n1919 somewhat fell below that of 1918\nthere Is nothing discouraging In that\nfact, The cessation of hostilities\nbrought to an abrupt termination a\nhuge war demand for cupper, lead and\nzinc and production of these minerals\nwas forced to mark lime pending the\nreadustment of peace conditions.\n\"This readustment has been delayed\nowing to the long drawn out peace negotiations, which in turn have prevented industrial peace conditions, However, we may look for an early settlement followed by the resumption of\ngreat industrial activity along all\nlines. This should bring ln its train\na big new demand lor staple minerals\nui increased prices\nSilver is Sensation.\n\"Silver has, of course, been the sensational mining feature of the year.\nThe extraordinarily high price of the\ntnelul is due to well known causes\nand those will probably obtain for several years to come. China and India\nwill continue 10 absorb great quantities of sliver in liquidation of their\ntrade balances and war loans to the\nAllies and ii is well known that when\nsilver once reaches those countries,\n.specially India, it diaapeaxs from ihe\nworld's visible supply. India seems to\npossess an insatiable appetite for sil\nver which, when once it goes into the\n.niters of that country never again\nemerges Into world circulation,\nThe high price of silver has bad a\n[ratifying stimulating effect upon sil\nvet milling in British Columbia and\nhas led to the reuvenaUon of must of\nthe old silver camp.- such at Slocan\nand Mnsworth and to the opening up\nnf mum new ones, such us those of\nMice Arm and the Sulniini River min\nIng district surrounding Btawart\nWhile told DM nut itu rease.1 In\nn I nt- the i n-.t \"i mining II during the\naim went stemiiii ii; leading to -\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\niiiiinni decline In production Inlj\nwhere goM \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDu*- obtained 4- an auxll\ni.irv wiiue wiiii other ui.'i.ii was pro\n\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD,,ii in..mi uued at o<\" saal '\" tan\ncHinpN ..i ihe north .111.1 it,\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^\narapa uf Ihe south prat ' !< iu* an\n,\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD lie. ,'i,,|iiiieiil wot k in . ,.|.l nun. ,\nnl.'ii.ikeii tot , \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD .\nIKtl in., < il,.- ,.l.l -\n\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD I,, ' .,. , ,\nweather set j\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD was operating al Harp-!\ner's camp in Cariboo.

I notice that even the banks\nare beginning to look kindly upon mining as a business and one bank is at\npresent advertising its willingness to\nassist legitimate mining enterprises,\nin local press. This is a very good\nomen, for recognition of mining as a\nlegitimate business enterprise will do\nmuch to establish it in the confidence\nof the public.\nTo Restore Trade.\nThe mining Industry of British Columbia can do a great deal Inward restoring Canada's trade balance. Perhaps no other in Canada can do bo\nmuch. The production of silver in\nthis province should In a year or so\npredominate thai of anj other province or state on the continent and as\nsilver is iu foreign demand al an enormously enhanced value Its production\nis of national as well us ol local Im- -\nportance.\nThe same thing applies wiUi almost equal force to gold and to the\nbase metals, (iu ihe whole I believe\nBritish Columbia [aces a banner yeai\nIn the mining Industry, one which\nshould bring great wealth t, \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD cltl\nten and add materlall) to the nation\na| urospei Itj ' Mr Sloan -sml In 1\n1 liisinn\nSole:\nSTICKING TO FACTS\nThis paper does not claim to be infallible, but it does claim that\nin its reports on mining matters it aims to stick as closely to facts as\nis humanly possible.\nWhen reports of \"strikes\" and new discoveries are made, it wants\nthem verified. If it hasn't first hand information it will say so. putting\nthe responsibility for the reports where it belongs.\nThere is no need for wild statements nor florery discourses concerning the mineral resources of the district. The properties will\nstand on their merits, and Portland Canal News will be satisfied with\ngiving bald statements of fact regarding mining operations. These\nwill be interesting enough.\nBut these statements, if published as facts, will be facts.\nThe Portland Canal News will father no wildcat schemes, and in\njustice to the prospectors of the district it can truthfully say that up\nto date it has not been asked to do so.\nAs to mining deals, a deal is not a deal, so far as this paper is\nconcerned, until the papers are signed, sealed and delivered.
