Mission Boat SKIDEGATE, Dec. 18:-The United Church misgion launch Thomas Crosby, Capt. (Rev.) Bob Scott in command, left last week for Cape St. James lighthouse and waypoints, this being their last trip of the year to take Christmas cheer to those living in the great silent places. Word Has been received that she was delayed laying up for storms. This staunch little launch has made the trip often before but very seldom have they been able to land at Capt St. James light on account of the great ocean breakers and southerly gales that ..weep around the rugged point. J:aially, a rope is lowered from the lighthouse and mail and other irticles are fastened to this and hauled back to the light. Meanwhile, one man has to be man-uing the oars all the time to see Uiat the boat is not swamped. Another fastens the mall to the ope. The public on the out We little realises .the splendid work done n the east and west , toasts of the Queen Ghatlbtte Islands by he Thomas Creaby, especially at his time at fwr when those living In the outlying place are thinking of friends and relatives far fcwav. At each nlflrn where drew, but it's too the IIUIc craft delivers mail, Could it be al- era and magazines, Christmas 'services are held seemingly bring-I'm of 1. 1 id not, mad- ing nil those attending nearer to their kin at home and to the Greatest Friend of mankind who was born on Christmas eve. The best wishes of all the people or the Queen Charlotte Islands go out to Rev. Bob Scott and his little crew for a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. District News VANDERIIOOF Hon.

The report Just issued on the mining situation Hon. W, A. McKenzier mipistef of mines, contains. the following interestfri'gfsummafjoffput-standing events in the year's development as follows: 1. The important results obtained in the Pend O'Reillc area, which lies partly in British Columbia and partly in the State of Washington, on ores of Widespread low-grade zinc-lead mineralization.

The strike at considerable depth of an important shoot of good silver-lead ore in the Noble Five at Sandon. 3. The success attending development of the Monarch mine at Field with practical assurance that a concentrator will be erected next year. 4. The renewed interest in the Cadwalleder Creek jold camp, where the Pioneer mine is profitably producing from substantial, ore resources, and the Lome and other properties are being extensively developed. 5. Satisfactory development of the Ferguson silver-iead mine on the Ingenika River. 6. Successful results of development at Duthie Mines with conseuent commencement of new power plant and jther improvements. 7. Discovery of high-grade ore tn Mountain Boy .roperty at Stewart. 8.
