News of the Mines AROUND PRINCE RUPERT Mayou GnWCopper to Operate all Winter High Valiiet Silver Cliff Property Plenty of British Capital Available on IS Thursday, October 4, 1928 GET TOGETHER ON "O CANADA" (Edmonton Journal) C. Bruce, reporting to the Vancouver Kiwanis Club on a recent district conference of Kiwanians held at Aberdeen, Washington, referred to an apparently disastrous attempt made by the Canadians to get together on a common version of "O Canada" when they tried to be vocally patriotic. The Buchan version was in open competition with the Weir version, and the former won out, it seems, either by force of numbers or by sheer lung capacity of its supporters. Meanwhile the Americans were "mystified." A good many Canadians present at United States gatherings have beer mystified also when the American portion of the audience attempted to sing "The Star Spangled Banner." It would seem that between "O sav, can you see, and "the land of the brave," the knowledge of most of them is both sketchy and inaccurate. The two factions of Canadians at Aberdeen on the other hand, both knew their version only too well and persisted to the end, which, according to Mr. Bruce, was bitter. His proposal that, failing an agreement on an Eng-j lish version of "O Canada," Canadians revert simply to ; . the use of "God Save the King" as a national anthem is not quite satisfactory and sounds much like a counsel of despair. The memories of that duel at Aberdeen were still strofljj within him. But Sir John Marriott, of the; empire parliamentary party, speaking on the same day at Fredericton, saw a, vision of Canada as one of the great nations of the world. It is natural for a people with such a destiny to want a national song with some reference to their country in it. The usual arrangement prevailing at present whereby a performance is opened orchestrally with "0 Canada" and concluded with "God Save the King" is a sound compromise between national and imperial ideals. But, of course, when it comes to singing, the diverging English forms of "0 Canada" are troublesome. In Alberta there is no difficulty, as the Weir version is the school standard, governmentally fixed. The federal parliament could undertake to designate in somewhat the same manner an official version, and it would not be long in becoming the standard for the dominion. It might be well to move quickly in the matter in order to prevent anotner generation of dissidence growing up. But perhaps parliament will shy off from such a literary task, like the American congress. That body, for some reason, has never made any official declaration that the "Star Spangled Banner" is the national anthem of the United States, although it has been authorized for use as official in the army and navy music. Perhaps the legislators have always been trying to learn the words, and there has always been consent not to introduce the resolution until all the members of congress certify that they will be able to join in the singing that ought to follow the taking of the unanimous vote. Din dors of the Mnyou Gold Copper Co.

Elliott and associates nf Vic toria while an option was taken on the other half. Eight sacks of ore from a small stringer on the sur face of the property were shipped last year and gave smelter returns at the rate of $340 per ton. A shaft on this stringer was started this summer and at eight feet of deoth the stringer widened to eight Inches of high grade.
