British Columbia Ulna much I better position to play her part, hot only as a province within the Im inlon but as a part of the British Commonwealth of Nations, than she was when the last Great War broke out In 1014. In 1014 the metal markets of the world were so upset that prices could not be obtained for months At the beginning of this war base metal prices were pegged on the London Metal Exchange within ten days after the declaration of war and shortly afterwards an agreement was reached between the Im perial government and Empire pro ducers of base metals with the object Of controlling metal prices dur ing the conflict. It is a high tribute to the mining industry that the large producers of base metal have agreed to orlces which will give them a small but reasonable profit when the opportunity existed to capitalize on the war and so ob tain high, prices for their products. it Is anticipated that during the new year placer-old will show an increase in volume and value. The Atlln and Cariboo camps are likely to maintain production, whereas the new Turnagaln River area and the Manson area are expected to show substantial Increases. Jjode-gold mining is expected to maintain its high rate of produc tion throughout the year.
