The rising generation are some times
repiray ed for their inclination to appear

i hit wild at times The rising genera-
tion knows nothing about being wild
in comparison to some of ‘the older of
the hoys. On Christmas day, for in-
stance one young fellow had to leave
a perfectly good party, He was later
picked ont of a diteh. But did the old
hoys quite their party early. Not
nearly so early as they should have.
The affair took place at- Two Mile
where good friends frequently meet.
Three of the old fellows, all between

| 70 and 75 years ‘of age, got to talking,

nd then fo punching and then to real
fighting. They. wound up at the Flos- *
pital and one old. scout had several
stitches put in his bead, and had his
thninh and little finger tied up, He
felt badly about his little finger, and
had a notion that one of the others had
chewed it aff, Anyway, he wanted the
police culled ond informed, The most
regrettable part of the affair was that
the nurses und maids had to’ do ay
extra shift to mop up the gore the old
huys left on the hospital steps, in the
retunda im up the stairs to the sew-
ing room where they. ot patched up.

‘Review Mining
British Columbia

With the beginning of a new year, it
is interesting to review the events of
the year which has just ended, and
from that review to try and visualize
what promise the year 1937 may hold
for one of the major industries of our
province.

A year ago we noted with great sat-
isfaction that the value of mine pro-
ducts in British Columbia for 1935 had
increased 12.7 per cent as compared
with 1934, The greater part of this
increase, 84% to be exact, was due to
increased volume production in gold.

-and increased metal prices for silver.

It- was estimated a year ago that the
jInine production for 1936 would be
about $52,500,000 if certain factors an-
ticipated were ultimately realized. As
the vear advanced, it did noc appear

;for some time as though thts: figure.

would he attained; but as the -yenr
eloses we have arrived at an estimate
of $52,431,168,

In reviewing the estimated figures

terially during the year, Whereas
gold and silver accounted for the great
er part of the increase ip 1985 com-
pared with 1934, there has been this
yeur nn actual decrease in the output
of the combined metals due to greutly
depreciated metal prices. for ‘silver.
This depreciation, however, has been

nenrly offset by increased- production
in Jode and placer gold. It is of in-
terest to note that the value produc-
tion of placer gold for 1936 is likely to
he greater than in any year since 1904,
Lode gold production has again estab-
lished an all-time record.

It was anticipated a year ago: that
through the ¢losing. down of Granby in
1935 there would be a very heavy loss
both in volume and value for copper
production .Lhis loss has not been as
great. as anticipated, due largely to
inerensed production from Britannia
property on Howe Sound; also to a
mich. hetter price for the metal -

‘Lead in 1936 has been the really
bright spot of the whole mining indus-
try. Production has established an ail
time high record, thongh not far-in ex- |
cess oF last year It is the much better
price for lent, particularly towards the
end of. the ‘year, which has accounted
for an inereased value -proguction -of
nearly $3,000,000° .

in the silver situation. Copper pro-
