There is no such great value in a patch of northern land that any serious difficulties should occur. , If the matter is taken up seriously by the Ottawa authorities it ought to be SLOAN'S TIMELY WARNING The. warning in regard to buying mining stocks as given by the Minister of Mines, Hon. William Sloan, is a very timely one. Wt all believe there are a good many prospective mines in British Columbia that are now only holes in the ground. Some of these may be good and others not so good. If people get stung once or twice they refuse to invest further. , Speaking generally mines are a speculation, but as a speculation they offe good chances of returning large profits if well managed. So much depends on the management. ' Only those who can afford to do so should speculate. Those who want a sure thing should buy bonds. But the difficulty is that buying bonds never makeX a person rich quickly. At any rate it is well to take Mr. Sloan's warning and buy only into companies that have real merit. But merit does not count with the. average speculator. All he thinks of is whether the stock is likely to advance in price so that he can sell out. TOPLEY RICHFIELD MINE We hve no intention of boosting any particular mining property but it is good news that the Topley Richfield is financed and that proper development will be carried on under the present management so that the people of the district may reap a part of the rich harvest, if. the mine proves successful. What is true of this mine is (rue of many others. There is a general movement toward development of the Portland Canal and interior properties which is bound to prove most beneficial to the district. BRITISH REPRESENTATIVE IN CANADA Great Britain is planning to send a representative to Ottawa in addition t the Governor-General. Today the Governor does not represent' the British cabinet but the King. The doctrine of equal status has changed things somewhat. Canada advises the King, through the governor in regard t. Canadian affairs of Great Britain. When we deal with each, othefiwtf no longer do so through the Governor-General as toeVetofore but throufh th. special representatives of Britain in Canada and Canada in London. " ' '"' BUDGET ALMOST BALANCES The budget was something like a quarter of a million dollars short of balancing last year, a mere triviality. Usually there is a balance on the right side, but this adverse amount is so small as to be hardly worthy of note. Unexpected increased expenditures accounted for the difference. Happily the sinking fund is intact so the financial condition of the province is excellent. One of the interesting features of the session just started will be the budget, which will be down in about a month or perhaps a little later. It will deal with the whole financial situation as it is todi.y.
