SATURDAY, JANUARY 11, 1913, No, 19, The’ Omineca Miner ‘has the largest bona fide circulation of any newspaper in the - Northern Interior of British Columbia. : “British Columbia is steadily forging to the front as a mineral- producing province, and while Ontario still holds first place, we are | ply confident that the annual production of minerals in this province will soon exceed that of our chief rival. A gratifying increase is marked by the “Preliminary Estimate of Mineral Production, 1912”, just issued by the provincial department of mines. by the premier in his New Years’ As indicated review, the value of our mineral production last year was over thirty-two million dollars, exceeding that of 1911 by over nine millions, and being greater by six mil- lions than the production of the record year, 1910. There is every reason to believe that the products of our mines {a in the year which has just begun will again exceed all records for the province and will increase by a considerable sum the $480,000,- 000 which is the total of British Columbia’s mineral production to date, ’ The Kootenay, Boundary, and coast mines may -be ex- pected to maintain their production, while the newer districts in the northern part of the province will add considerably to the ton- nage and value of the metal output. A prominent place among the new producing districts will be rightfully taken by Omineca, Without even the semblance of a boom, the mining industry in this district has made such progress in the last three years that the ad- vent of the railway finds several properties prepared to ship high -grade ore, while others are being rapidly developed to the shipping stage, Working under adverse conditions, the mining men of the northern interior have made remarkable progress in develop- ment, as the splendid showings of Hazelton, Hudson Buy mountain, Telkkwa, and the Babine range will attest; and none will begrudge them the rich reward which will soon be theirs. When the rail- way is carrying their ores smelterwards and the mining world be- gins to realize the extent and value of our mineral resources, the men whose pluck and perseverance have so far developed the dis- trict will come into their own, Victims of Foo!s ‘Twenty-one’ lives were lost in British Columbia by accidents in “the huiting field during the last three months of 1912.°: Four of these deaths regulted from hunt- ‘ers: shooting at’ “something” in in the brush, under the impres- sion that the victims were deer ‘or other wild animais. . Of the other deaths some were caused _by drowning and some by. care- ‘Jessness in the handling of fire-, arms, There were also nineteen eases of serious injury from var- ious causes, including several in which the criminal ‘‘sportsman’’ whe shoots at any movement in the brush was responsible. _. tis high time that alaw fixing ‘severe. penalties far reckless shooting was. placed upon the ‘statute books. . There can be no excuse e for a man who shoots at an indefinite object. or at a movement in the ‘brush. No sportsman worthy. of the name ever fires at any object unless he. knows exactly ‘what it {s, and the-eriminal who kills or umiaims a fellowman in disregard- ing the only safe rule should be _ severely punished.
