C, Tuesday, May 29, 1906\nIssued Twice a Week\nBOUNDARY LEADS:\nReport for the Year 1905 of\nthe Provincial Minister\nof Mines\nGross Value of Mineral Production for Year Was\n$22,461,325\nThe report of the Minister of\nMines, Hon. Richard McBride, for\nthe year ending December 31st,\n1905, has just been issued from the\ngovernment printing office, Victoria.\nThe report, which is a concise digest\non the operations in gold and other\nprecious metals, copper, leid and\ncoal, reflect credit on the provincial\nmineralogist, William Fleet Robertson. This official has evidently been\nat pains to obtain an accurate, conservative and thorough summary of\nwork in the large miding camps and\ncoal-fieldB of tbe province. The\nstatements made in the report are\nbased upon facts and figures which\nthere is no gainsaying, while in the\nfield of theory and anticipation the\nprovincial mineralogist has evinced\na clear insight into the future, his\nopinions finding the endorsement of\nothers whose business it is to make\na thorough study of the miieralog.\nical possibilities of British Columbia.\nThe following two tables give in a\nnutshell the mineral production of\nthe province since it became a factor\nin the mining world:\nTotal production for all years up\nto and including 1905\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nGold, placer 8 67,772,703\nGold, lode 36,385,0*58\nSilver 23,688.688\nLead 1-1,958,16]\nCopper 27,258,013\nCoal and Coke 73,786,754\nBuilding stone, brick etc 4,560,800\nOther metals 252,999\nTotal 8248,663,176\nProduction, each year, 1890 to\n1905\u00E2\u0080\u0094\n1852 to 1889 (inclusive)? 71,981,634\n1890 2,608,802\n1890 3,521,102\n1892 2,978,530\n1893 3,588,413\n1894 4,225,717\n1895 : 5,543,042\n1896 7,507,956\n1897 10,455,2(18\n1898 10,906,861\n1899 12,393,131\n1900 lG,344,7*il\n1901 20,086,780\n1902 17,48i*3,5lii\n1903 17,496,851\n11)04 18,977,359\n11105 22,461,325\nTOtal 8248,763,176\nThe report states that the groi-s\nvalue of the mineral production of\nthe province during the year 190.*)\nwas $32,461,825, the largest output\never made by the mines ol the province, and nn increase over the preceding year of 83,483,906, or 18.4\nper cent, while it is an increase over\nthe year 1903 of over 28 per cent.\nAn .analysis of the returns show,\nhowever, that this increase has been\nconfined to certain districts, Southeast Kootenay, the Boundnry district, Nelson mining division and\nYale mining division, the remaining\ndistricts showing a more or less\nmarked decrease. The greater part\nof the two former of these districts.\nIn JSoutheest Kootenay the tonnage\nof ore mined increased 121 per ceni\nand the value of the product 135\nper cent over the preceding year,\nwhile in the Boundary the tonnage\nhas increased 20 per cent and the\nvalue of the output 53.6 per cent.\nThe following table shows the\nnumber of metalliferous mines which\nshipped ore during the past year,\ntogether with the location of the\nmines and the number of men employed both above and below ground:\nTons of Ore Men\nShipped Hiuployed\nCasBiar:\nSkeena 43 19\nEast Kootenay:\nFort Steele 170,073 317\nWindermere 206 44\nWest Kootenay:\nAinsworth 3,831 106\nNelson 50,090 392\nSlocan 88,279 457\nTrail 330,618 833\nOther Divisions 22,302 115\nLilooet 133 4\nYale:\nBoundary 965,628 1,016\nAshcroft - Kamloops 14,642 77\nSimilkameen Ver\nnon 88 14\nCoast 61,126 202\nTotal 1,706,679 3,596\nIn the Boundary district the tonnage of ore has increased about 26\nper cent over the preceding year,\nand now amounts to 965,628 tons,\nbeing over 56 per cent o; the total\ntonnage of the province.\nThis increase is due to the constantly increasing operations of the\nGranby company, the n other large\ncompanies about holding their own\nThe number of smaller high grade\nproperties being operated, while not\ncontributing any appreciable percentage to the tonnage, have helped\nto keep up the average grade of the\nores.\nThe costs of mining and smelting\nhnve been gradually reduced in this\nsection, thanks to as fine equipments as money could buy, in the\nhands of intelligent and scientific\nmen, until they are now reported to\nbe about the lowest |in the world.\nTo quote from a recent editorial in\nthe leading American scientific\njournal:\n\"Ten yenrs ago the idea of smelting for'a dollar a ton and mining\nfor 81.10 a ton would have been\nscouted ns impossible. Yet this has\nbeen done at the Granby mines,\nwith an exceptionally favorable ore\nnnd exceptionally well npplied skill.\nIn Tennessee, with low priced labor\nand fuel, they smelt a copper bearing pyrrhotite for $1.30 per ton.\"\nThe tonnage of ore mined in the\nwhole province, exclusive of coal,\nwife 1,700,679 tons, some 245,070\ntons, or 16 per cent greater than in\n1904; and 85 per cent greater than\nwas mined in 1901. The output of\nmineral products in British Columbia, as compared with that of a similar product in all other provinces of\nthe Dominion, shows that in 1905\nBritish Columbia produced in metals\nand coal an amount nearly as great\nas did all the other Canadian provinces combined.\nNew Ads in This Issue\nP.

Tbese sheets are\nnot being started as private business\nenterprises, but in a number of oases\nthe announcement is brazenly made\nthat the sinews of war is being supplied by the Conservative associa\ntions. It is quite evident that ai\nelection is not far distant, and that\nwe are to have a campaign of misrepresentation.\nJames Dunsmuir has assumed the\nresponsibilities of Lieut-Covernor, be\ning sworn in Saturday morning about\n11 o'clock by J. J. McGee, the elerk\nof the Privy Council at Ottawa, the\nformalities conuected with assuming\nof olliee taking place in tho parliament\nbuilding in the presence of Premier\nMcBride and the members of the government. Hon. Mr. Dunsmuir has\nentered upon his duties. His private\nsecretary will bo Major Andain, his\nson-in-law. Sir Henry Joly de Lot-\nbiniere, who vacates olliee, will leave\nshortly for his home in the province\nof Quebec, accompanied by his daughter, Mrs. Nanton, lie expects to leave\nabout the end of next week. Sir\nHenri lias made himself very popular\nill the province of British Columbia,\nand there will be general regret at his\ndeparture. He has manifested a very\ndeep interest in the atfiairs of the pro*\nvience during his residence here, and\nby his courtly manner has endeared\nhimself to all classes. He has himself become very .much attached to\nVictoria, and it is not without regret\nthat he severs his connection with the\ncity and the province. After a long\npublic career spent in politics in his\nnative province of Quebec and in the\nDominion arena, Sir Henri now expects to retire from active political\nlife. There is little doubt that the\nnew Lieut-Governor Hun. James\nDunsmuir, will fill the olliee in such a\nmanner as to popularize himself with\nthe public. It is felt that he and\nMrs. Dunsmuir are well qualified for\nall the duties which attach to that\nolliee.\nSo long ago as Julie 17, 1904, The\nVancouver World warned the provincial government that in issuing license\nto prospectors for coal and petroleum\nlands in block 4593, southeast of\nKooleiii'V, and filiiii; applications for\ncertain lands there, thev wore skating\nmi very thin ice, and that when the\nfoundation gave 'way the government\nand those who reposed confidence ill\nthem would be Bubmerged, Our position was strengthened by* the opion-\niou of Sir HibbiTt Tapper, who point\ned out the irregularity and impolicy,\nif not the dishonesty, of adopting a\nsvstein that would permit all applicants to ftlo on lands for which others\nhad previously applied ami run the\nchance of lighting for the \"properties\nin the courts. Perhaps it would Ik*\nan exaggeration to say that fifty applicants had been Bled on one\" claim;\nbut it is a notorious fact that some\nof the claims arc as thickly plastered\nwith location notices as European\ntourists' baggage with the labels of\nthe dill'eriiit hotels at which they\nstopped when \"doing the continent.\"\nThe warning was unheeded, The\ngovernment wanted money. The pro\nvince's proportion from the dominion\ntax of 8100 collected from each Chinese pigtail had fallen entirely off,\nand Mr. Tatlow was anxious to present a surplus; so it was decided to\nissue licenses and file applications\nover and over again to the same laud.\nOne hundred dollars was charged per\nlicense. It may have been unintentional; but it was a remarkable coincidence that the pigtail tax and the\nsoutheast Kootenay prospecting license, were the same in amount. The\nitching palm of the minister of finance\nwas soon filled with substantial results. Sonic 5u0 licenses were issued\nand the revenue was enriched by\nabout $50,000. From this sum asm-\nplus was declared, \"In spite of the\nfailure of the Chinese head tax we\nare able to show a fair surplus,\" quote\nbhe minister in presenting his budget.\n\"Fifty thousand dollars, to not more\nthan one-tenth of which the govern\nment had a legitimate claim, has been\nreceived illegally and under a false\npretence. Every person who filed on\ntheland was told that he would havt\na chance to hold it. \"Of course, we\nguarantee nothing,\" the government\nagent 'said; \"we do not pro.oisc that\nTom, Dick and Harry will get the\nclaims. All we can say is that we\nfile your application and you take the\nconsequences. Are there other amplications filed on the same land! Well,\nthat is a leading question, and I cannot answer it. The government guarantees nothing, but we take your\nmoney and you take your chance\"\nDoes it not strike the reader that the\nproper and honorable course for the\ngovernment was to have refused to\nreceive an application for land that\nhad been previously filed upon? Instead of discouraging the jumping of\nclaims they have encouraged it. Instead of preventing confusion of ill\nfeeling tbey have thrown petroleum\non the flames and caused a heartburn\ning in the public mind that will not\nbe quenched for a long time. If a\nman pre-empts a tract of land he has\nto show that the same land has not\nbeen previously pre-empted by another person before his application\nwill be considered by the recorder.\nThat is a proper rcduireiiient for it\nprevents confusion, injustice and law-\nbreaking. Why was the same policy\nnot pursued in the case of the southeast Kootenay lands? Why were application after application received\nand filed with the inevitable result of\nnever-ending lawsuits and a disputed\nownership which will retard progress\nand development and cause the very\nname of Kootenay oil lands to become\na stench in the nostrils of every fair-\nminded man. The decision of the\nfull court in the suit of Leckie vs.\nWatts, et al, on appeal exposes the\naction of the government in all its deformities antl shows that the policy of\npromiscuous filing has thrown open\nthe door to long nnd expensive litigation for the possession of the coal and\noil lands of southeast Kootenay. The\ngovernment is richer by 850,000,\nsome one will say. But is it richer\nby that or any other sum? Whether\nit were worth more to take directly\nfrom the people S50,000 for the purpose of .securing a surplus and lock up\nthe lands from development, or to\nhave refused to file more than one application for the same property and\nso permit development work to proceed, is a question the reader must\nfigure out for himself. We merely\nask, suppose that work ill all tlte\nmining camps now being worked were\nenjoined, would not the country lie\nthe sufferer to it disastrous extent!\nAnd if the opening of the mineral,\ncoal and oil wealth of Kootenay i.s to\nbe retarded, it were better that Mr.\nL'atlow neyer had it in his power to\nannounce a surplus in spite of the\nfailure of the Chinese tax.\nThere aro still a few cheery, well\nfurnished rooms, with heating stoves,!\nvacant at die Province hotel.\nReduced a Hard Swelling\nMr. Cms li. Geroux, writing from\nPembroke, tells how he was injured\niu a lumber camp. \"A heavy log roll\ned against my leg, and 1 was laid up\nwith tt hard swelling. When I applied Poison's Nerviline 1 got relief.\nA few rubbings with this good lini\nment cured me:\" In the bush, Nerviline is indispensable; it cures neural-\ngin, colds, rheumatism and intern,il\ndisorders too.
