WELL-MANAGED MINES WEALTH- “PRODUCERS Mining Industry Is Backbone of Country, says President _of New Organization. Ina speech delivered at the organization meeting of the Min- ing Men’s Club, in, Vancouver, President .R, R. Hedley said: “Many people have rather hazy ideas of mining and its| branches. Mining will be the backbone of the country in the near future when the men who know the possibilities of the re- sources stored away by Nature, have made it clear to the general 9 public that mining under proper} =/ conditions is just as safe as: any other husiness, for mining is a We sure we will try to do our best to rid the City of Vancouver from the wild-catter and his associates.

Robert R. Hedley, the noted]: mining) engineer, speaking in Vancouver regarding the Ground- hog coal field, in which he is largely interested, said it was entirely a matter of transporta- tion. Railway facilities must be provided if thé coal measures were to be worked, and. the pro- ducts of the properties reaching the outer world. In this fine anthracite field there was a rreat|’ opportunity for the large capital- ist willing to develop and operate. “T look’’ he said, “‘to a solution to this problem in the alterna- tive of three lines, an extension ofthe G. T. P. from Hazelton, Canadian Northern activity from Stewart on the Portland Canal and also a private line down the Naas river. Until one. of these lines is built the coal measures will resist development, for cheap transport iseverything.’’ In ad- dition to the Groundhog: proposi- tion, Mr. Hedley is also enthusi- astic for the Copper River field of bituminous coal, from which he anticipates a good supply ‘of metallurgical coke, and also the measures now in course of pros- pecting near the Babine lake.
