"Personally, I get very tired of the interminable alternation between adulation and objurgation of the Press. People are always speaking of its immortal function being to secure the elevation of the human race. I regard that as pure nonsense. It is a business concern. Whoever talks about the immortal purpose of a stockbroker being to elevate the moral qualities of his fellow creatures, or even that being the purpose of a lawyer? "Although some of us may wince when we find the in-1 ncrmost, tho most sacred sanctuaries of life invaded by people who desire to make public the thing you above all others seek to have coricoalefy when you shrink from seeing the grief of a bereaved Vtoman, the agony of a man on the way to the gallows, or the sufferings of people in a railway accident being laid bare to the world, I would beg you all to remember that that 'hafli tioithing whatever to do with the Press. "It has to do with ourselves, and if you want to have it stopped, the proper way is to educate the people so that they will refuse to purchase the papers that contain that news. I have no sympathy whatever with the people who talk about the high mission of what is nothing but a business enterprise which upon the whole is conducted as all English businesses are, fairly and squarely. Critics of Newspapers "I have generally found that criticism of the Press divides itself into two heads," continues Lord Buckmaster. "There is the man about whom some flattering and wholly unwarranted remark has been made in the newspapers. He talks about what a splendid institution the Press is. Then there is the man who thinks that he has really said something that is worth repeating. He is deceiving him which the whole Press are engaged For a short time during the war Lord Buckmaster was chief censor for the Press Bureau, and was elevated there Te a northwesterly extension of the Anyox copper belt.

Portland Canal has gooa prospects of becoming an important copper producer. There are deposits on the canal itself which have not yet been developed. There is considerable copper associated with the big Portland Cattal fissure extending from the 35 Holt through the Silver BaY, Albany and other properties for some distance north of Glacier Creek. There are good copper prospect" on Bear River as well. In toe event of operations of the Consolidated Mining & Smelting Co. proving successful, other operators will be induced to investigate the field. The copper belt of the Coast Range is continuously traceable from the Fraser River north and the Vancouver Island Range again ap pears to the north on the Queen. Charlotte Islands. In the Kims-uit River indications are unusually favorable in the event of transportation being provided. This can be done by the extension of the logging railway of the Pacific Mills Co. at Ocean Falls. That section of the coast is so favorably regarded as a coming copper camp that an engineer for the Consolidated Mining & Smelting Co. rfxne years ago strongly advised the acquisition of mining properties there. The copper belt is next exposed on Khutze Inlet, then Gardner Canal, and is being developed at the Paisley Point mine on Douglas Channel in Drum Lummon Bay. It next appears at the Ecstall mine, where it has undergone a lot of development, the objection to that property from a copper point of view being the amount of pyrite, high in sulphur, associated with it. The copper belt is next picked up on the Kitsauit River at Alice Arm, where it ex hibits some very fine ore., Th$fl it occurs on Hidden CrHelUia4ift the Granby C$J Aliyog located. The Portland posits follow on from there. Unofficial reperta about the importance of the strike made at depth about a month ago at, the Big Missouri mine were evidently not exaggerated. Captain Duncan McVichie, consulting engineer for the company, in an official report. following a recent inspection, says that the ore was intersected at a point 1700 feet from the portal of fhe long cross-cut tunnel a a depth of little more than 600 feet. Since encountering the ore, drifting has proceeded in both direc tions from the cross-cut for a tote) self, and the truth is not in him. But he thinks so, and j length of 250 feet The drift has next morning when he finds there is no reference to him shown continuous ore of very in the Press he says there is a conspiracy of silence in cHient grade with principal values in gold, across the width of the drift, and the faces are still in ore of a similar grade.

' ' Im j Alipplyieif the world FROM the cold, deep waters of the seven thousand miles of British Columbia s Pacific Coast, comes a harvest of fish that the palate of all mankind enjoys! For over twenty years our Province has been a leading factor in Canada's fishing industry. Progress continues unabated ... the markets to the ends of the earth demanding ever increasing quantities. The past ten years have seen this industry grow from 14 million to 27 million dollars . . . an Increase of 89. Our annual catch totals nearly half the entire Canadian production, and "King Salmon," our marine sliver mine accounts for at least 15 million dollars a year. The distribution from our Provincial hatch-cries of millions of salmon cfA to renew the harvest that goes Into the nets; the Treaty between Canada and the United States for the protection of the Pacific Halibut (March, 1923) providing a close season from November 16th to February 15th; modernized canneries, 83 In number, and sane Federal Fishing Laws, carefully administered, are the foundation of an Industry that will continue to grow. The fame of British Columbia's Whaling Fisheries Is of long standing, and has materially Increased the value of the products fronuthis Industry. The yearly catch, now about 480, Is taken between one station on Vancouver Island nnd two stations on the Queen Char-' lottc Island.. Much as has !een done to develop and conserve our fishing industry, there still remains n great deal to be accomplished. The vastnesa of our waters and the extent and ruggedness of our coast make organized protection and administration extremely costly. Rut the safeguarding of our fisheries Is a matter which now commands the earnest attention of our government, who realize the importance of conserving this basic industry. As the oldest industry of our Dominion, fishing has bn one. f the largest revenue producers, and It is significant that Canada's .ySVMteftt Prfiyiflfjnjess tha. twenty years, should secure a leading position In the world market. This aggressive search for foreign Imainesa has been an asset which undoubtedly has created one of the most amazing records m our basic Industries. Well may we be proud of our Fisheries!
