While financial and market conditions resulting from the war
have had an ill effect on the mining industry, it is very gratifying
to note that only.a small proportion of British Cofumbia’s mines has
suspended operations, and that there ig throughout the province an
unmistakable faith in the continued prosperity of mining, Even
though the war may temporarily handicap the industry, our mining
men feel that the important business of extracting the necessary

. metals fromthe earth cannot be long or seriously held back, and
they are determined to proveed with development, so that the era
of prosperity which will fullow the war will find the mines of the
province ready to supply a large share of the minerals which will
be in such demand,

In this district, as elsewhere, the first economic effect of the
war Was 4 serious uneasiness, but already our people are adapting
themselves to conditions, and the progress of the Interior, while
Somewhat retarded, will be none the less sure in wartime, and
when the conclusion of peace heralds the return of prosperity, we
shall be ready to take advantage of the opportunities which will be
available, ;

We recommend to our readers the advice of the London Times:

First and foremost.—-Keep your heads, Be calm. Go ahout
your ordinary business quietly and soberly, . Do not indulge.in ex-
citement or foolish demonstrations.

Secondly.---Think of others more than you are wont to do.
Think of your duty lo your neighbor. Think of the common weal.

Try to contribute your share by doing your duty in your own
place and your own sphere. Be abstemious and economical.
Avoid waste.

Do not hoard money.

‘easier, not more difficult, -

Remember those who are worse off than yourself,
panctually what you owe, especially to your poorest ereditora.

If you are an employer think of your employed. Give them
work and wages as long ag you can, and work short time rather
than close down. -

If you are employed remember the difficulties of your employer.
Instead of dwelling on your own privations think of the infinitely
worse state of those who live at the seat of war and are not only
thrown out of work but deprived of all they possess,

Do what you can to cheer and encourage our soldiers. -
help any organization for their comfort and welfare,

Explain to the young and the igfforant what war is, and why
we are forced to wage it. . .

About Tungsten

mapufacturers were compelled to
postpone changing their formulas
and furnaces until tungsten pro-
duction should be sufficient to
insure them a supply to keep
their changed furnaces going.
With the discovery of tungsten
ore in Boulder county, Colorado,
‘this became possible, and many
fortunes have been made in that
county from tungsten ore‘during
the last few years, the profits to
investors running os high as 200
percent, The production of this
mineral in Boulder county has so
far proved it to be a more profit-
able industry than gold mining,
and the industry has not reached
a fully developed stage,
Much. of. the Tungsten ore in
Boulder county carries a richness
of 60 percent tungstic acid. This
means that in a 2000 ponnd ton
‘will. be found 1,200 pounds of
tungstic acid, A unit of tungsten
is 20 ibs, of tungstic acid. The
‘average price of a unit has been

* ore’ “ott a richness of 60 per cent
will ‘therefore yield 60 units

os tnining and milling is usually

. The Great Noo ras

Of all nations caught in the| Ml
maelstrom of this European war,
England is the safest. England
is most secure—the most com-
manding figure of them all!

Why?

Austria invades Servia, Russia
invades Austria and Germany,
France invades Germany, and
Germany invades both Russia
and France, No nation invades
England, and there is no talk of
invading England by any nation
now engagedin this colossal war,
Invading every other nation Eng-
land is immune both from the act
and the contemplation of invasion

Why?

For five hundred years—since
Sir Francis Drake scattered the
Spanish Armada among the
waves and winds of the English
Channel—no nation has ever in-
vaded Engiand,

Why?

Of all the great capitals of Eu-
rope, and of the world, Eng-
land’s capital of London alone
has never been entered by a hos-
tile foe,

Why?

This little kingdom, whose
standing army today is not so
large as that of Switzerland. and
smaller than the standing army
of any first class country, except
the United States, fears the in-
vading foot of no foreign foe!

Why?

To each of these thrilling, in-
spiring, stupendous facts and its
accompanying question, the an-
swer is the same:
