PRODUCTION DURING LAST TEN YEARS, $429,547,755

Lode mining has only been in progress about 26 years, and only about one-
half of the Province has been prospected; 200,000 square miles of unexplored
mineral bearing lands are open for prospecting.

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

Mineral locations are granted to discoverers for nominalfees. Absolutetities -
are obtained by developing auch properties, security of which is guaranteed by
crown grants. : .

Practically all British Columbia minera! properties on which development
work has been done are deseribed in one of the Annual Reports of the Minister
of Mines. Thoze considering mining investments should refer to such reports.
They are available without charge on application to the Department of Mines,
Victoria, B.C. Reports covering each of the six Mineral Survey Districts are
published separately. and are availableon application, Reports of the Geologi-

_ eal Survey of Canada, Winch Building, Vancouver, B.C., are recommended as
valuable sources of information. . oe
Full information, together with mining reports and maps,

Women will know
This to be True!

Haven't you found this to be trus--that one batch ‘of flour will :
give you certain results but that the next time you bought the
same brand your resulta would be quite different. Now, the
-big four companies emplay chemists to see that their flours
are kept to a constant standard. . Drugs, like flours, may be
thoroughly pure but of a variable standard. Think what this
means in the effectiveness of your doctor’s prescreptions.

-Ormes buy their drugs only from manufacturers
who guarantee that their products are not. only 100
per cent. pure, but that their strength is as unvary-
ing as the daily round of the sun.
