--The recent fair at Vancouver
afforded a remarkable contrast
as’ to the manner in which. the
mining and forestry departments
are being respectively handled
by the government of British
Columbia. The forestry exhibit
was one on which that depart-
ment is to be congratulated,
’ Some hundreds of dollars had
. been expended on getting it up,
and to the visitor it was a.revel-
ation as to the value of the forest
resources of the: province. On
the upper floor of the same build-
ing was the government: mineral
exhibit, confined’:to a small case
taken from the mineral museum
at Victoria, and costing the de-
- ;partment only the amount of the
transportation, Yet the mineral
industry has produced greater
wealth .and paid more in: profits
than any other natural resource.
. ‘The otherwise uninformed visitor
“would, however, judging: from
‘the exhibit, leave the building
‘under the impression that mining
.In British Columbia was-a side
affair - of no. importance, -- Such
treatment of the mineral industry
isa disgrace tothe department
of mines at Victoria,
In view of ‘the importance, at
this: time ‘of: depressed business

‘- seonditions in British .Columbia,
“that the government should make |

a special effort. to . promote. the
mineral industry, the: Vancouver
board of trade has: been active i in

making representations to “that
therefore,. with |

effect. “It . was,’ th
‘some surprise. ‘that: the. chairman

‘of the mining committee of the

‘board. Nicoll Thompson, received

a. letter. from Sir. ‘Richard | ‘Me- ~

Bride, minister of | mines, , EXPTESs:
ing the opinion | that: ‘no such ‘ae.

tion on the part. of the go jerni--
essary an he consid- ;

‘ered matters | were Progressing
quite satisfactorily. : Is it any

in dividends over $25,000,000,
speaks. volumes. The? more ‘ma-
terial fact i is that in addition to
the list of: “dividends, ‘these ‘ec

panies have earned as much again
in profits, which have been re-
turned for improvements, mak-

ling the total profit accounted for

something 1ik e'$50,000,000; so
that the total mineral production
shows an average profit of 10 per
cent. We.do not know of any
other country where the mines
can show a similarly, favorable
result,
