--The recent fair at Vancouver afforded a remarkable contrast as’ to the manner in which. the mining and forestry departments are being respectively handled by the government of British Columbia. The forestry exhibit was one on which that depart- ment is to be congratulated, ’ Some hundreds of dollars had . been expended on getting it up, and to the visitor it was a.revel- ation as to the value of the forest resources of the: province. On the upper floor of the same build- ing was the government: mineral exhibit, confined’:to a small case taken from the mineral museum at Victoria, and costing the de- - ;partment only the amount of the transportation, Yet the mineral industry has produced greater wealth .and paid more in: profits than any other natural resource. . ‘The otherwise uninformed visitor “would, however, judging: from ‘the exhibit, leave the building ‘under the impression that mining .In British Columbia was-a side affair - of no. importance, -- Such treatment of the mineral industry isa disgrace tothe department of mines at Victoria, In view of ‘the importance, at this: time ‘of: depressed business

‘- seonditions in British .Columbia, “that the government should make |

a special effort. to . promote. the mineral industry, the: Vancouver board of trade has: been active i in

making representations to “that therefore,. with |

effect. “It . was,’ th ‘some surprise. ‘that: the. chairman

‘of the mining committee of the

‘board. Nicoll Thompson, received

a. letter. from Sir. ‘Richard | ‘Me- ~

Bride, minister of | mines, , EXPTESs: ing the opinion | that: ‘no such ‘ae.

tion on the part. of the go jerni-- essary an he consid- ;

‘ered matters | were Progressing quite satisfactorily. : Is it any

in dividends over $25,000,000, speaks. volumes. The? more ‘ma- terial fact i is that in addition to the list of: “dividends, ‘these ‘ec

panies have earned as much again in profits, which have been re- turned for improvements, mak-

ling the total profit accounted for

something 1ik e'$50,000,000; so that the total mineral production shows an average profit of 10 per cent. We.do not know of any other country where the mines can show a similarly, favorable result,
