So
declared
Dr.

resident

who
was

guest
speaker
last

Chamber

Dr
Mandy
spoke
more
particularly
of
the
mining
pofeiittolllieiv
of
the
Prince

district.
Trlbti

to
this
city,
he
said,
was
an
area
of
144,000
square

one-third
of
the

Only

suggested
Dr
Mandy.
At
the
outset,
Dr.
Mandy
referred
to
the
Importance
of
his
listeners
familiarizing
themselves
with
the
natural
resources
of
their
district
one
of
the
most
Important
of
which
was
mining.
On
the
development
of
these
resources
the
future
of
this
city
depended.
Control
of
appreciable
mineral
resources
was
essential
to
the
full
development
of
any
country.
Northern
Brltlah
Columbia
possessed
these
resources.
Importance
of
Mining
Had
it
not
been
for
the
development
of
mineral
resources,
declared
the
speaker,
the
British
Columbia
coast
might
still
be
a
wilderness
and,
possibly,
there
might
have
been
no
Vancouver,
Victoria,
Prince
Rupert,

Arm,
Stewart
or
Atlln.
Dr
Mandy
then
proceeded
to
trace
the
history
of
British
Columbia
with
particular
reference
to
the
mining
industry.
He
referred
to
the
California
gold
rush
of
1849.
The
