This event was an outstanding one In the history of ths north and the whole province Since UuU date up to the end of 1926. Aayos has produced 72.390 crx Wtia. tgi3S60 va. silver, and 331.187 9J1 pounds of copper. To this stu-1 pendous total can be added 39 .000.000' pound of ooppcr which was the ap jaroxunatc production for 1926. During the paat thirteen years the payral! of the Oranby Co. has aver-1 aged wan over 1.000 men who received i -appfsMtmtViy S2.0C0.0O0 c?h. 4 car in I wages. The purchase of supplies of j all kinds necessary for the operation otj the plant accounted for an additional 12.000 .000 per year. Thus In thirteen jears tee Oranby Co. have paid out a total of SS2.009.000. This money has teen drawn from raw material, namely. a low grade copper ere. and brains, and energy have converted -tt Into wealth for the benefit of the province aa a whole. OOltMOls TAXES In addition to the above figures they have paid enormous sums in taxes, which has materially helped to relieve taxation, and provided the government with funds for the up-buUd-lng of the province. Before the first furnace waa blown In. the Oranby Co. spent millions of dollars developing the Hidden Creek mine, building smelter, town, wharfs, power house, and acorcs of other projects so that every-thing should be In readiness for continual operation. It Is therefore safe to ay that the expenditure of the Oranby Co. since they flrat become Interested at -Anyox Is In the neighborhood of I0O.DO0.OO0. The above figures are ample evi dence of what part the mining industry plays in the prosperity of the province. Its development helps everyone vl hurts no one. The extraction ot on-from the ground la the cleanest method of creating wealth Id existence. IU increased development Is something that should be fostered until the limit has been reached and many more aurh plants abound In the neighborhood.
