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

The mining lawa of this Province are more liberal and the fees lower than
any other Province in the Dominion or Any Colony in the Britich Empire.

Mineral locations are granted to discoverers for nominal fees. Absolutetitles
are obtained d by developing such properties, security of which is guaranteed by
crown grants.

Practically all British Columbia mineral: properties on which development
__ Work has been dene 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,

published separately, and are available cn application. Reports of the Geologi-
cal Survey of Canada, Winch Building, Vancouver, B.C., are recommended as

valusble sources of information.

of what the British Columbia apples |
did in-London, and the British Colum-
bia hens in Ottawa, wong with that:

Will be nothing wrong with on repu-
tations beyond. owe borders. Elear the
modest language of the press despatch-
es: ‘British Columbia apples won first
prize in six of seven. classes in which
it was possible for them to enter at the
Imperial Fruit Show. And’ this:—
‘Winning five places, including first
and second, ont of the first six in the]
Canadian egg-laying contest at the
Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa,
British Columbia poultry keepers have
given further proof of the. general ex-
ceellence and high. qualities of the
stock,’

“Phe story of the apples is still more
encouragiug when it is detailed. Yor
it uppears that eight of the fifteen p-
ple classes at the great Imperial Fruit
Show are for apples in barrels—end
British Columbia does not exhibit its
apples in barrels, Thtis, while the As-
sociated growers of the Okanagan have
made almost a clean sweep of the box-
ed apples, with six firsts and five sec-
onds in Cox Orange, Spitzenburg, New-
ton and Delicious, it has still’ been
possible for Nova Scotia with its bar-
relled npples, to walk off with the

of the show. But there will be more
heard—nlthough | we know very. well
that those Blnenose apples are a splen-
did fruit—of this battle of the barrels
andl the boxes; and, British Columbin
will challenge Nova Seotin, or, the
