There have been rumors from time to time as to why Prince Rupert may or may not become a naval centre. Captain McCoskrie has assembled the facts very clearly and the next move will be to place these before the proper authorities. When Prince Rupert was first located, a good many ob- jected because they said Kaien Island was too near the Alaskan boundary line. They said it would never become a naval base on .that account. It might be well perhaps to combat that suggestion in the letter which is forwarded to the naval aythorities. Aeroplanes in Fishing Industry. In. southern waters it is planned to-use airplanes to locate shoals of fish. It is said that this plan may be used with good effect for tuna and sardine. In British Columbia waters, schools of herring might easily be located by means of airplanes much more rapidly and effec- tively than in any other way. The range of visian from the plane being so much larger than from a boat, makes this plan particu- larly suitable, Cal 2 eee ga Possibly before long aeroplanes will fly from Prince Rupert for the purpose of locating the herring schools for which fisher- men are now looking. ~ Veracity of Mining Men Often Challenged. Do mining men tell the truth? That is a question that is often asked and which usually raises an incredulous smile, few being: so brave as to intimat: that every one is an Ananias and yet everyone showing that mining stories like fish stories are to be taken with a grain of salt. The difficulty is with a few men who are not miners but who as promoters and boomsters stop at nothing in their efforts to rouse interest in certain mines or prospects and to swindle the public. Already there is a tendency to talk that way about Stewart and Alice Arm. We have had men come to Prince Rupert with stories so wild that no newspaper would dare to print thei. In Vancouver recently there seems to have been que man and one newspaper who was sulliciently gullible to be led away with wondrous tales. These tales injure a district more than do the knockers. They make people wonder whether any of the stories told are true, The facts in regard to the mines of Stewart and Alice Arm are sufficiently wonderful without using the imagination to con- jure up Eldorado yarns. There are rich mines and good pros- pects at both places, but the boomsters would kill interest in them all. What the public would like to have would be accounts of development from time to time with actual finds, described by reputable men who refuse to exaggerate for the sake of effect. Exaggerated yarns gave Stewart a long sleep once before, and it would be a pity to have the history of that time repeated. We suggest that the people of the mining camps form a miners’ protective association for the purpose of lynching any man who goes out and spins about the place yarns which have no basis in fact.
