Declaring
that
the
future
meat
noss
of

of

mines,
James
C.
Brady,
M.P.

addressing
an

service
club,
asserted
thatjte
day
would
come
when
wealth
would
be
taken
from
strains
and
creeks
of
the
Rocky
Moun
tains
not
merely
fymy
the
national
debt
of
Canada
but
would
go
far
in
reduing
the
national
debt
of
the
Empire.
He
said
that
he
madihis
prediction
in
the
face
of
the
fact
that
hundreds
of
foilions
dollars
of
wealth
had
already
been
taken
from
the
round
in
British
Columbia.
The
high
cost
of

he
said,
constituted
a
barrier
at

in
