SCHEME The railway engineers' report on the Peace-Coast out ing railway furnishes the most economical route. It says nlsn that it. will talp mnnv timoa tha ovtctinnr tvnffio t n iiio-1 tify another outlet. And it concludes that, by the time the volume of Peace Vailey traffic reaches a point where the construction of a new coast outlet would be justified all the relevant conditions may have materially changed. What does this mean ? It means, unless we are greatly mistaken, that neither the Canadian National nor the Canadian Pacific, and neither separately nor jointly, will touch the coast outlet project until times are better. It means, in consequence, and it should so mean, that what can not be practically considered by the principal Canadian railway companies as a sound business venture can not be considered as good public policy by any Canadian government. And it means most lilcely that we had better allow a considerable discount, for some time to come, from any of those frequent stories we are hearing about the completion of our own Pacific Great Eastern into the country of the Peace. There is no great comfort in all this, but neither is there reason for unrelieved gloom. It does not mean that there is to be no development of the great potential grain areas of the Peace, and it does not mean that some day the stream of Peace wheat will not flow down by its most na-turaj channel to its most natural outlet on the coast. It simply means what it says: "Not justified at present."

Feb. 24: While- In Smlthers last week, holding his regular monthly sittings ol the County Court, relieving Judge Young who Is absent on sick leave. Judge Robertson of Prince George accep ted an opportunity of seeing for himself the Bulkley Valley Coal Mines, the only coal mine lit Central British Columbia now In active operation. The first striking thing on the trip was the condition of the road leading from Telkwa. to the mine, seven miles distant. Slipping smoothly along at forty miles an hour In a high powered automobile In the middle of February struck 10c Judge Robertson as being very dlf-, ferent Uideed (rem the time when he.

It' was only a year and a half ago, when Frank M- DockrtU obtained a working lease, that thU seam was- first actually mined. In the short time that he has been operating Mr. Dockrill has accomplished a very great deal and Central British Columbia owes much to him for the establishment of this new industry when so little other mining la being done. Two slopes are run Into the hill-aide from the level of the top of the bunkers, about 30 feet above the valley level These two slopes follow down the dip of the measures on an easy gradient, and are connected at the No. 1 level run about two hundred and fifty fee from their portals. Chambers off this level are being mined for the coal now being produced. Horse-drawn ears haul the coal to the bunker where it It sereened over wo screens and then dropped di rectly into one of the three great bins from which the trucks are) leaded. AU of the working are In coal and it U not found necessary to take out any materia! but the clean coal owing to the fact that the 'earn l of almost uniform width of between, thirteen and fourteen feet, all clean ooaf except for an Inch-wide parting of shale In the middle of the seam.
