PRODUCTION DURING LAST TEN YEARS, §429,547 955

Lode mining has only been in progress about 25 years. and only about one-
half of the Province hag been prospected; 200,000 square miles of unexplored
mineral bearing lands are open for prospectine. -

The mining laws of this Province are more liberal and the fees lower than
any other Province in the Dominion or any Colony in the Britizh Empire. __-

Mineral locations are granted to discoverers for nominal fees. Abgolute titles
are abtained by developing such properties, security af whieh is zuarenteed by
crown grants.

Practically ali British Columbia mineral properties on which development
work haa heen done are described in one of the Annual Reports of the Minister
of Mines, Those considering mining investments should refer to such reports.
They are available without charge on application to the Department of Mines,
Victoyia, B,C. Reports covering each of the six Mineral Survey Districts ave
published separately, and are available on application. Reporte of the Geologl-
cal Survey of Canada, Winch Building, Vancouver, B.C., are recommended AS |

Leaders Have Been Heard

The Premier of British Columbia,
Hon. Dr, MeLean, and the leader of
the Conservative party in: this province
Hon, Dr, Tolmle, have both been here
ad placed before the electors their
ideas of handling the public business
of the. province, Both put the most
favorable side. before the people and
all the electors have to do is to pick
the one they like best.. Both men are
well known in public life in the pro-
vince. The premier has been in the
cabinet since the Liberals were elect-
ed to power in 1916. He has held a
muunber of different portfolios and ts
now ‘isking for support on his record
amd on the record of the Liberal gov-
ermpient. On the other hand Hon. Dr:
‘Tolmic-is a native son of B. C., was
brought up on a pidneer farm, hrs
been a farmer all his life, holding posi-
tions in the’ agricultural departments
and twice was minister of agriculture
for short periods. ° He wus even. offer-
ed that portfolio in the present govern-
ment nt Ottawa, so highly is he regar-
ded as an agriculturist. He outlined
a number of new policies he will put

into effect should he be chosen by the

Haven’t you found this to be trus—-that one batch of flour will —
five you certain results but that the next time you bought the
same brand your results would be quite different. Now, the
big flour companies employ chemists to see that their flours
are kept to‘a constant standard. Druga, like flours, may be
thoroughly pure but of a variable standard, Think what this
means in the effectiveness of your doctor's prescreptions.

Ormes buy their drugs only from manufecturers

as good results from hopper feeding

as when the chicks were fed at regular
