Boule mountain, owned by Peter-

Columbia, because of the war, .18 no darker’ than
the cloud hanging over any other part of ‘the
American continent, and not-so dark as that over
Europe. At the same time the silver lining to
the local cloud is brighter than:the lining of any
other cloud. Northern British Columbia is a new

must be met by Canada, which means that a
number of new industries will be launched creat-
ing a new market for all the metals found in the
New Hazelton district. The minerals of this dis-
trict are so well proven that they need no boost-
