The Omineca Miner has the largest bona fide circulation of any newspaper in the
Northern Interior of British Columbia.

The opening of the season of mining activity is marked by the
arrival in Hazelton of several groups of mining men, whose opera-
tions this year will go far to prove the extent and value of our
preat mineral and coal deposits, Already a majority of those who
will work ia the more distant sections of the district have begun
the work of transporting supplies over the toboggan trails, and
when spring opens several hundreds of men will be engaged in
developing properties in the newer camps,

-In the historic goldfields of the Omineca river and -Manson
creek a number of strong companies are engaging in extensive hy-
draulicking operations and there is little doubt that the season’s
clean-up of placer gold in that district will be one of the largest in
its history. For the first time, the big-silver-lead showings in the
vicinity of Omineca river will be worked by enterprising and ex-
perienced mining men, with the probability that the old placer dis-
trict will in a comparatively short time rival the other silver-lead |,
camps of Omineea District. *

On Nine-mile, Four-mile and Glen mountains the properties
which have been worked during the winter show good results,
while quite a number of others will soon be under. development.
‘fwo of the mines are already shipping ore, and another producer
will be added to the list within a few days, The projected comple-
tion of the Nine-mile wagon road will enable the owners of several
promising groups to carry on work without the disadvantages un-
der which they have heretufore labored. On the adjacent show-
ings of Glacier creek and Bear river considerable work will be done.

On Rocher de Boule mountain the copper deposits which have
attracted so much attention are being steadily developed, while ar-
rangements have been completed for the opening up of a number
of very promising groups in the immediate future.

The camps tributary to the Bulkley Valley towns are likely to
come into prominence, since Hudson Bay mountain properties have
been proved to contain silver-lead ore of high grade in large depos-
its and the Telkwa and Babine showings promise great things.

The coal measures of the Telkwa and Morice rivers and Coal
ereek will be still further developed, while several of the the com-
panies holeing large areas in the famous Groundhog field have men
and supplies on the trail, with the object of starting the season’s
work early. Other concerns will begin development work on their
properties as soon as the pack trail is open,

Taking a large view of the situation, the prospects for the sea-
gon are most encouraging. There is no doubt that 1912 will be the
first of many prosperous years for the mining industry of the great a
district of which Hazelton is the center.

clared himself an earnest advo-

said he honestly believed that
Germany desired peace, but since
other nations were. increasing
their armaments, it was neces-
sary for Britain to prepare for

“Bor my part I believe in one
