Review
of
Mining
Development
Metallurgical
Features
and
Future
Prospects
of
Industry
The
current
year
has
been
marked
by
the
amount
of
development
work
throughout
the
province
equal
to
or
greater
than
that
in
any
previous
year,
says
a
provincial
mining
report
just
published
under
authority
of
Hon.
m.
Sloan.
The
two
most
active
areas
have
been
the
Portland
Canal
division
and
the
Slocan
district,
but
in
the
aggregate
a
large
amount
of
exploratory
work
has
been
done
In
varied
and
widely
separated
parts
of
the
province.

The
canning
Interests
had
tried
to
get
togther
to
secure
better
economic
conditions.
The
majority
of
the
canners
sent,
a
delegation
to
Ottawa
and
finally
asked
for
a
Royal
Commission
to
investigate.
Then
three
proposals
had
teen
made:
To
Issue
licenses
for
definite
fishing
areas.
To
vary
the
closed
season
according
to
the
number
of
men
fishing.
To
have

processed
in
the
area
In
which
it
Is
caught
except
that
taken
by
trailers
or
used
for
freezing
or
sold
fresh.
The
director
urged
the
desirabtuiv
of
canners
and
fishermen
working
together
for
their
own
mutual
interest.
One
oould
not
prosper
without
the
other.
Any
lack
of
confidence
on
either
side
should
be
bridged.
While
they
were
asking
for
the
opinion
of
fishermen
on
the
specific
questions,
other
matters
were
not
precluded
if
they
were
of

He
said
be
attend
ed
the
meeting
In
the
city
hall
in
the
alternoon
and
he
had
tried
to
find
the
Ieell::g
of
the
fishermen
throughout
the
district.
The
principles
outlined
seemed
to
be
along
good
lines.
Canners
as
well
aa
fishermen
should
agree
to
united
effort.
He
told
of
the
manner
In
which
seiners
were
operating,
particularly
at
Massett
Inlet.
The
fishermen
realized
that
If
things
continued
as
In
the
past,
something
tragic
would
happen.
The
hour
had
come
for
the
fishermen
and
canners
to
meet
and
discuss
and
on
them
depended
the
future
of
the
Industry.
Mr.
Brady
found
that
the
fishermen
did
not
Uke
the
Idea
of
securing
a
license
for

tear
'with
a
fee
at
tached.
He
urged
also
that
the
patrol
system
be
changed,
that
illegal
fishing
be
prevented,
that
all
confiscations
of
gear
be
published,
that
public
notice
be
given
of
the
sale
of
confiscated
gear.
that
the
patrol
be
manned
by
qualified
men.
HMIKK.MKVS
VIEWS
Mr.
Reld
explained
about
the
meeting
of
canners
and
fishermen
but
said
they
were
calling
a
convention
of
fishermen
in
January
and
he
asked
that
the
time
be
extended
and
that
the
decision
be
forwarded
to
Ottawa
In
the
form
of
a
resolution.
It
was
unfair
to
uk
for
a
snap
decision.
Mr.
.Hoffman
told
of
hsvtng
visited
a
number
of
the
fishermen
Including
some
seiners..
A
committee
had
been
formed
to
organize
but
the
fishermen
were
so
scattered
it
was
difficult
to
get
them
together.
They
