D., minister of mines, was sworn in as such on Octoben 10th, 1914, but even the most impartial critic of his ministry would be able to swear he had never shown therein the least idea of the mining industry. As a boy he may have dug a few potatoes for mother; as a King’s coun- sel he may have dug up a few of law; but he absolutely knotty points probably knows nothing of digging gravel for gold, or how the gold in quartz gets mixed up with the rock. The men engaged in the min- ing industry want a man as minister of mines who can look as far into a piece of rock as the next man, a man who knows a prospect from a mine, by preference a man who has, or has had, callouses on his palms. A strong feeling has been expressed in Yukon and the southern part of this province that the Dominion government should provide for a special minister of mines, and that the whole attention of his depart- ment should be given to the promotion of the mining in- dustry. It would be well for the boards of trade of Stewart | and New Hazeiton if they would fake the matter up, and add their strength to the Associ- ated Boards of Trade, which has transmitted to Ottawa the => — following resolution: ‘“‘Where- as, the mining industry of Canada has assumed such pro-|} portions during the past féew! years, and in view of the pros- | pective future of this industry | and the necessity for its en-| couragement by every estinia! means, therefore be it resolved | that the Associated Boards of| trade of Eastern British lumbia strongly urge upon the Dominion government the oY cessity of creating a portfolio Co- —————— Has the Largest Circulation in Northern British Columbia THE DAILY NEWS Prince Rupert’s Artistic Job Printing Establishment Contract Oct. 14, Tuesday, 1913. of minister of mines, and such minister to devote his whole time to the conduct of the: de- partment of mines.” The Kootenay district is pre- senting a good, capable man in the person of R. F. Green, their member of parliament, and Yukon is pulling strings for the appointment of their mem- ber, Dr. Alfred Thompson. 0 JUST A HINT FOR COLONEL SAM. Canada, throbbing with the impulse of opportunity, has abundant need of soldiers, but the soidiers of peace, says the Regina Leader. That is the kind of army we need to de- velop this Northern — British Columbia the railway is open- ing up. Canada does fot need thousands of men trained and enthusiastic in militarism, but she does need the energy and enthusiasm of what one writer has called the ‘soldiers of the common good.’ The man who labors earnestly for the ma- terial development of the coun- try is a soldier in a splendid cause. The man who goes out to war against the evils of in- temperance, political corrup- tion, the oppression of the weak, and endeavors to make firm the higher standards of life is a better soldier for Can- ada than the man whe en- deavyors to fire the spirit of militarism. Would even take higher rank in popular esti- mation than any one of the gold plated army of colonels with which Colonel Sam Hughes is astonishing the military tailors of Europe. 0 Cranbrook wants a law en- acted for the protection of in- vestors in mining and the punishment of wildcat pro- moters. Better ask Bowser to declare an open season for wildeatters, and a liberal boun- ty of so much per head, Many a miner has gone gunning for wildcatters, and more would if it wasn't illegal. | i ME For THis WAY LOFT AN’ A GooP Bic- SNOOZE !
