The tax there is stil lmore than four times highef than the Canadian tax but it has been borne by the British people without much complaint. It was hoped that some relief would have come last year but it did not. Now it will prove doubly welcome. It is only a commencement of a movement toward more reasonable taxation rates. ASKING RESIGNATION Those opposed to the Bennett administration at Ottawa will be asking the Premier for his resignation in view of the adverse vote at the election Monday. Possibly supporters of the administration will be urging that as the time is not auspicious for an election, the Premier should stick to his job a little longer with the possibility of a change in public opinion. It is to be hoped that Mr. Bennett will not follow the Tolmie precedent and hold on to office long after it is well known that he has lost the confidence of the people.

Among other things he gave a lantern slide lecture In the Hotel Vancouver at which there was a large attendance. Speaking before the Vancouver Board of Trade, mining secUon. Mr. McGill described how the Omlneca mining division was 400 miles long by 300 miles wide or approximately 100.000 square miles In extent. It was not altogether a remote area to be reached by airplane only but was practically bisected from east to west by the Canadian National Railways line with ocean outlet at Prince Rupert.

It is understood that de- - ' velopment work on the property Is nnlzy Porks and Fort St. James planned. By plane the area can be ; north and south. Gold was the pre- dominant value in this area and It included rich placer ground as well as lodes. The silver-lead zinc dis-, trict to the west and around Ba-bine Lake had of necessity been al most wholly neglected since base metal and silver prices dropped four or five years ago. With the re covery of silver prices, however. It was believed that great activity would result and that the area would develop mines comparing with any in the province. Under the added Impetus of higher gold prices, the progress of the district should be rapid. Already. Indeed, It was beginning to show distinct signs of a revival. A hundred years from now. Mr. MeOill predicted, even with intensive search and development, there would still be untrod expanse In the northern re-aches and within that time man a great mine yielding gold, copper, silver, lead or zinc would have been developed to bring prosperity to the vicinity. Mr. McOlll pointed out that the Omlneca mining division was not a frigid waste as many seemed to Imagine. The winter climate compared very favorably with during the past few years, the prin-1 that of the prairie provinces. Mr. Mcaill also took occasion to refer to the scenic and hunting attractions both of which were unrivalled Wilson & Sons.
