Columbia—the indus- 7 try; in fact, which has done most to advertise the provinee—wasnot . ‘given. the: prominence it deser- ved, “The | mining exhibit, which included a great variety of ores from the. various camps of the province, was housed:in a shed- like. addition to one of the build- ings, and was not easily accessible, while the aceammodation was in- sufficient .to allow visitors to spend any time at the exhibit during the more crowded hours, L. L, DeVoin, the Hazelton com- missioner, entered a protest. a- gainst the treatment accorded the exhibitors of ore, ‘but the man- agement of the fair did nothing to remedy the conditions. The ‘Hazelton exhibit, which included a representative show- "| ing of the ores of our camps, at- tracted plenty of attention from .|thoge who were able to gee the specimens, and a good déal of surprise was expressed when it ‘was announced that in the award of premiums this district had been overlooked, There appears to be good ground for the allega- tion that the Vancouver stock- brokers had a dominating voice in the distribution of awards, as ‘independent. assays disclosed the fact that the ores which took. first and second prizes in. the silver- lead class carried lower values than the averageof the Hazelton exhibit, while in gold-copper and “tzine ores the local ‘exhibit w of greater assay value. While no conditions were made public, it is understood that the judges took into consideration the ques- tion of development: and trans- portation, though it has not been wae made clear just how-they arrived at a basis for. their awards, since they could not inspect the mines. We are informed, that the prize- winners were stock-selling: prop- ositions, If the Exposition ‘offi- cials expect a good mining exhib- it at future fairs they should have a better plan for handling this department.
