. Reports: coming in would indicate
that prospectors are very. active fn
many parts of the Province, and that
apparently o larger huyaber are in the
field: than in 1928. The policy of the
Consolidated Company in: putilng a
number of prospecting parties in the,
field’ shows that the largest mining
company in the Province considers
that here are stifl many opportunit-
les‘ for new mineral’ discoveries to be
made in British Columbia.

It is probable thet 1929 will set ;,
new high record in dividends paid, x

in the second quarter of the year, b

the Granby and Britannia Companies
increased the regular quarterly disbur-
sment. A total slightly in excess of
$12,000,000 is anticipated,

From the foregoing brief review it
will be readily seen that the mineral
statement of ore reserves in the-annu-
al report of he company for 1928.

The Granby's ‘Bonzanza mine was
brought into production ‘eatly in 1929
and is now producing about 11,600
tons of ore a month. An intensive
search is being made by ‘this company
for.o furthur ore reserve in the miner

alized area adjacent to the Hidden
industry of the Province is in a highly
prosperous condition and has a bright
future ahead of it.

A special fund of $100,000 was pro-
vided at the last session of the Legis- ;
lature the Loon Act for the purpose of
building trunk trails to enable pros-
pectors to get into promising mineral] .
areas. In a number of instances sur-
veys.of these trails are now proceeding
and constructions well: under way dur-
ing the field season.

The regular assistance to . mining
roads and trails by means of grants
from the Mines Development Act has
proceeded more vigorously than usual
to supply the many demands for im-
proved transportation: The building -
of motor reads and Wagon doads hy
the Public Works Department in cer-
tain places is of considerable assistna-
ce to mining. Particularly is this
true in northern British, Columbia |
where in certain districts, the bulk of
the Public Works Department road |
work is on mining roads, A steadily
increasing’ program of building ronds
and trails will, however, be required
