Grains are making rapid growth and an early harvest Is predicted No extensive damage from any source is reported. The anti-hopper campaign is being vigorously pressed, where necessary, and a strongly optimistic feeling prevails. In Manitoba favorable weather has prevailed and some districts report fifty percent wheat now in shot blade. In the Gladstone subdivision heads and straw are short and future weather conditions will determine the quality of the wheat. In the Dauphin-Swan River district, weather has been oool with heavy showers and adequate moisture is reported at all points.

Angus Maclnnis, La-N oor Member of Parliament for South Vancouver, before a good-tzed audience in the Moose Hall ast night, reviewed in an lnterest-ng manner economic conditions of iie day and disclosed some of the policies of the Labor party for dealing with same. Mr. Maclnnis prov-id himself a pleasant and convinc- ng speaker and his remarks were listened to with attention and interest by all. At the close of his ad-drees a number of questions were asked from the audience and answered by Mr. Maclnnis. The meeting was presided over by Aid. S. D.

Mandy, Resident Meritorious Properties Elsewhere Are Being Successfully Operated Is Fine Field For Intensive Prospecting I "There are at least three lode gold properties on the Queen Charlotte Islands that appear to warrant operation and which should certainly be under development at the present time," declares Dr. Joseph T. Mandy, resident mining engineer for northwestern mineral survey district following his return to Prince Rupert after spending a few weeks on the Islands on Inspec-K tional duties. "These properties have better promise of success than sortie which are now under active ; operation in more remote areas of ' the province." 1 In at least two of the properties i gold occurs in the free state in quartz. All three properUes are close to tidewater and transportation presents'no difficulties.' "Further the method of treatment and char' acter of ore would be such that 1 would be possible to get back imme diately a substantial part if not ali of the costs of development. Dr. Mandy Is unable to account for these and other properties on the Islands having not been long since In active operation unless it Is due to the tendency which seems general to sidetrack the Queen Charlotte Islands. Field For Prospecting There are extensive and promising areas on the Queen Charlottes which have not as yet been even prospcted. The country requires Intensive and methodical prospect ing whereas It has received In thr past only the most superficial sort I of exploration. Due to the heavy! underbrush, some difficulty is pre sented so far as prospecting is concerned. The most effective mean? of prospecting seems to be to tako to the creeks and streams and follow pan Indications into the out crops on the hills. One of the most promising known belts lies on Moresby Island between Inskip Channel and Koot-enay Harbor on the west coast. Some sections on the west coast of Graham Island have equally interesting geology, particularly in the vicinity of Vancouver Harbor and Rennel Sound and the northwesterly segment of Granam Island west of Massett Inlet. In addition to gold, the Queen Charlotte Islands also possess good base metal possibilities, particular ly in copper, but there will probably be little Interest taken in thU until an Improvement comes In the metal markets situation. There are also non-metallic possibilities. There are sections on the Queen Charlotte Islands of cretaceous formations containing ma terial which should be useful as building sandstone, grindstones and whetstones. The Islands also possess a wide variety of semiprecious stones such as agates, etc. which some day may be used in the manufacture of Jewelry, curios, souvenhs, etc. During his visit to the Queen Charlotte Islands, Dr. Mandy made now under development by the Kit wult-Eagle Gold Mines Ltd.
