Two Freighters Coming to Load Grain This Week with About Half Million Bushels Two freighter will be here this week to load grain. The Meigen Maru, coming from the Orient, will arrive on Wednesday if present favorable weather conditions continue, her master wirelessed in this morning to the local agents, Northern Shipping Co. Ltd. The freighter Yoseric, which is now discharging in Vancouver, will arrive from down the coast a day or so after the, Meigen Maru. The Yoseric is already lined and. without preliminaries, will probably go direct to her mooring place at the elevator. The vessel belongs to the Ranks Line Ltd. .Andrew Weir & Co.. Glasgow,, and was built in 1918 at Sunderland, England, by the government, her original name being War Pilot. She is a vessel of 5,240 tons gross, 400 feet long. 52'4" beam and 285" depth. She will probably be brought up the coast by a Vancouver pilot and will load full with grain here. With these two vessels taking approximately 500,000 bushels of wheat from the elevator, it is expected that grain loading on the prairies for the local elevator, which have been suspended for some time, will be resumed this week. There are already 185 carloads of grain being held along the line for delivery here, including six that are in the local yards.

SAYS ANOTHER GRAIN ELEVATOR AT RUPERT : ' ; IPgl, 4l k aaaas New Record in Mining Established This Year States William Sloan Increase over every previous season will be shown in 1926 declares Minister of Mines spite of lower prices VICTORIA, November 20. British Columbia in 192C established a new high record mark in point of quantity production of minerals as well as in the value of minerals produced. Honorable William Sloan, provincial secretary and minister of mines, has jut issued a summary of the mining activity in the present year, together with an estimate of the aggregate production for, the twelve months ending December 31 next. The figures compiled, by John D. Galloway, provincial mineralogist, indicate that the aggregate value of the mineral production for 1926 will be approximately $67,718,400 compared with $'31,492,242, the aggregate value of the production in 1925, an increase of approximately eleven per cent over the previous ' record production in 1925, and this in the face of lowered average metal prices as compared with 192o. The following table gives a summary of the production and values: s Description Quantity Value .Gold, placer, oz. a 350.000 Cold, lode, 02. , 220.000 4.547.430 Total Gold Silver, or. Copper, tlb. .t-.....,. , ld,lbJwr! .v,i.. it; c. . . Zinc lb Total Metalliferous CocJ. (net), long tons Coke, long tons Miscellaneous Totals ,. "It can now be confidently predicted - that the mineral production of the province for the year 1926 will again establish a new high record." said Hon. Win. Sloan. In referring .to the excel lent showing made by the mining Industry during the present year. Notwithstanding slightly lower average metal prices the total value j Increase over that of the previous year the record year. It will be noted that quantity Increases were made In all the various products of the Industry excepting coal. This shows a very satisfactory condition In the Industry with production steadily Increasing re gardless of fluctuations In the metal market. As would be expectsd, the tonnage of ore mined and treated In the province, shows a considerable In crease: It is estimated tnai ror me duced as compared with 3.849.269 tona in 1825. Since 1921" went on Mr. Sloan. "which was a year of acute depression In the metal markets of the world. British Columbia has been making rapid strides forward tn the output of metals and minerals. The following figures will show thla progress: Year Value of Output 1921 $23,066,641 1922 33.153.843 1923 41,304,330 1924 48,704.604 1323 61,492.242 1926 (estimated) '. . 67.718,400 .MOKE IlEVEl.Or.MENT Mr. Sloan pointed out that while the ultimate progress of tht mining indutsry is clearly Indicated by production figures, other Important factors are development and exploration. The present year has again eclipsed all prtvjous ones In the history of the province In the amount of development of mineral properties, while pros. pcctlng has been fairly active. The success which haa attended mining In the province In recent yeart haa directed attention to our vast potential mineral, resources, with tht result that undeveloped; mineral 'areas ' are beln carefully examined by the representa-tlvea of mining capital. "British Columbia's contribution to the world's wealth has been a notable one." said Hon. Mr. Sloan, who pointed to the fact that since mining commenced tn the province tn 1832 tht total value of mineral production has been approximately one billion dollars, or, to be exact. I989.OO0.000.
