Winkler for the provincial Department of Mines, the suggestion Is being revived In local mining circles that a branch of the British Columbia Chamber of Mines should be established here. It is peculiar enough that in this, the centre for mining as well as the other Industries of Northern and Central British Columbia, there is so far no chamber of mines while such centres as Alice Arm, Stewart and Smlthers already have them. The Chamber of Mines for years has been doing good work In connection with advertising and development of the mines of the province. By having one here, Prince Rupert would be showing Its interest In the industry and considerable benefit would, no doubt, result for the city.
