Manufacturers Complain

Numerous, yes,. very numer-
_ ous are the complaints from the
B. C. Manufacturers’ Association
beeause eastern manufacturers
are busy and they are not so
busy; because eastern manufac-
turers even come into this. pro-
vince and take away big con-
tracts; because British Columbia
people bny eastern made goods
and American products. The B.
C. Manufacturers are complain-
ing to the governments and to
the people, but to no avail, It
would be much more effective
and much more profitable if. the
B. C. Manufacturers went, to the
press of the province and said—
‘Here, we have forgotten. to tell
the people about our goods and
we want them to know. what we
make, Here is some advertising
to run for a. year and we. will
keep it alive and interesting.’

The press is the only means of
educating :the people and the

press, naturally, expects pay for.

its service, ..The manufacturers
should just as naturally expect to
pay for that service.

Complaints and wails will get
them nothing. Business methods
will secure for them all the busi-
they can handle.

. “About the Leaser.

There is a well-defined ‘move-
ment on foot in many .mining
districts to more generally adopt
the leasing system for develop-
ment of mines and prospects.
This is ‘a matter that has: been

neglected in the past, and worse

than ‘neglected; . for: under “the
old method of leasing the: mine
owners got all the profits and the

leasers got little but: experience. ;

|The leaser, like. the prospector,
is pioneer; ‘and ‘the © pioneer in
any line of human endeavor is
worthy of admiration.’ In every
camp aré found men— —hard-work-
ing, -honest,. ‘experienced miners
—whp are not only. willing to|a

take a chance on developing: ore:

been for the company to demand:

a certain royalty, no matter how
long it took the lessee to extract
the ore, nor what the expense
had been to him. And the result
was that he often put in his time
with practically no return. We
recall a case, a few years ago--
and ‘no names will be mentioned,

for it strikes too rear home—

where two young men had a lease

that was to expire in six months’
time, the royalty to be paid on a
sliding basis. They went toe work
on a small streak: of ‘ore, just
enough to encourage, them to
keep at it, and worked faithfully
for more than five months. Then
the ore opened up to eight or ten
inches, and they’ were enabled to

. get out a small shipment the last

month, at the end of which time
the showing was so’ good ‘that
the officials of the ‘company re-
fused to extend the lease, Worse
than that, they demanded’ and
collected 40 percent royalty,
strictly as per contract, of course.
And the young men, ‘after paying
for provisions, supplies and tools,

{had $12.50 to divide as a ‘result

of'six months steddy work. *”,

The svstem now being general-
ly adopted, however, calls for no|]

royalty until the value of the out
put exceeds day wages for those
employed. “Often, too, an option
