AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER
THE MINES AND
THE PUBLIC
(From the Vancouver Sun)
The Spectacular rise of Brit
ish Columbia mining stock a
few months ago and the in
creased volume of trading that
has been well sustained ever
since served the very useful
and essential purpose of awak
ening public interest, at home
and abroad, in the mineral
wealth of this province.
This stock activity has made
the public mine-conscious.
But, necessary as it is, the
fact that a few more thousand
people are willing to put a few
more thousand dollars into B.
C. mines than they would a
few years ago, will not devel
op the mineral wealth of B. C.
The first essential to mining
prosperity is to facilitate the
efforts of prospectors to go
out and discover and chart
out new mines. The next es
sential is to facilitate the in
vestigation of mines by the in
vesting public.
There ought to be some way
that a man could walk into a
government office in Vancouv
er and find out every particu
lar on every mining property
that is listed on the Mining
Exchange or that is allowed
to sell stock here.
He ought to be able to find
out exactly where the mine is,
how many claims it comprises,
what minerals are found in it,
what good properties there are
around it and in that district,
what the capital of the com
pany is and how much money
is going into the promoters’
hands and how much into the
property.
He should in that Govern
ment office be able to find out
every single detail in connect
ion with every single mine in
British Columbia.
The ready availability of such
information would help the
investor and help the prospect
or. It would enable the invest
or to know just what he was
going to put his money into;
And it would enable the pros
pector to know just what was
going on in every district of
the province.
The mines of British Colum
bia can only be developed as
the confidence of the public is
developed. Accurate and com
plete information, readily
available, must be the basis of
that confidence.

GREAT DAYS AHEAD.
Those who seek the easy ex
istence of perpetual summer
are welcome thereto. For oth
ers the physical luxury and
mental lethargy of lazy days
and lotus eating are nothing
compared with the pleasures,
anticipations and vigor deriv
ed from the infinite variety of
the temperate zone, when*
weather is weather, not clim
ate, and nature in the course of
a year can play her entire rep
ertoire.
Most of us do not realize the
fact that there are romance
and an intangible solace for
the “bigger than weather” in
gray days and frosty nights.
The human frame seems to
take new strength and life
from the beating snow ana
biting cold. Man’s spirit flour
ishes on combat and resistance
and it is the long winter night
that puts iron back into nortn
ern souls and rescues them
from the appalling possibilities
of eternal summer.
It is only during his periods
of indolence that the dwellei
in the temperate zone sighs
for the year of a single seasoh
and dreads the approach of
argent frost, the bleak winds
of winter, the drifting snow
and the ice-covered streams.
But when the first blast oi
winter straightens his should
ers, sends the warm blood
coursing through his body ana
quickens his pace, memories of
the summer sun vanish before
anticipations of snug overcoats,
blazing hearths, sound slum
ber under cozy comforts, roast,
turkey, pumpkin, whole even
ings for reading or repose ana
general contentment.
Fuel bills and shortages,
snow-covered walks, and un
certain conditions overhead i
and underfoot are surely more i
than compensated for by the
many blessings the temperate
zone holds for its children.

DREAMS AND SUCCESS.
Dreams are made of star dust,
we are told, but a better recipe
is suggestion and imagination.
Those who can look at a brick
and see a castle are builders
of a bigger and better world.
There are only three kinds of
dreams ;those that are forgot
ten, those that never change
and those that come true.
Mount your wishes on thonght
and effort and they will ride
to realization.
Just for Fun
In a small town you don't,
read the choicest news; you
hear it.
A diplomat is a man who can
remember a woman’s birth
day—and forget her age.
He—For weeks I’ve wanted to
ask you a question.
She—For weeks I’ve had the
answer ready.
A man who doesn’t feel dress
ed up unless he has a shave,
will object to his wife using
rouge.
It will be quite a race from
now on as to who gets a four
year lease on the White House
at Washington.
Few women succeed in being
popular with men and women
at the same time.
Some people say that talk is
cheap, but ’tis not safe to heed
them.
Housewife (suspiciously) : “I
see you have placed all the
best tomatoes on top.”
Stallkeeper: “Yes, lady. That
saves you the toruble of hunt
ing through the box for ’em.”
Another kind of conversation
that gets on our nerves is that
dispensed by the fellow who
punctuates about every other
word with “see?”
If you think love is the great
est thing on earth, try yearn
ing for a kiss while nursing a
toothache.
Matrimony is a grindstone that
puts a sharp and cutting edge
on the gentle words of court
ship.
“Don’t you know there is a '
law against selling liquor?”
“We don’t sell it; we just 1
lease it for 99 years.”
What makes prizefights so
brutal is having to pay $40 for
a ringside seat.
Many young women make
something similar to Ger
many’s synthetic rubber, but
they call it pie crust.
Who butters all the cigarettes j
that are toasted?
She was only a Pullman con
ductor’s daughter, but she sure
gave him a wide berth.
.A woman acquaintance says
men making love are like a
phonograph with only one rec
ord; they all play the same
tune.
Reading through a group of
advertisements in the city
papers often discloses startling
facts. Digest these choice tid
ings gleaned by a news-search
ing student:
LOST—A fountain pen by a
lady half full of ink.
TO LET—One large room for
man with bay window.
FOR RENT—Two large rooms
with bath on car line.
WANTED—An experienced
girl to cook. (Why experi
enced.)
LOST—A cane by a man with
an ivory head.
FOR SALE—A cow that gives
eight quarts and four mahog
any chairs.
STRAYED—A man who chops
wood with a wooden leg and
a blue derby.
FOUND—A baby on a door
step that was crying.
A man in love will do any
thing, but he usually does
nothing.
Nothing hurts your luck as
much as thinking you haven’t
any.
It is a wise man who looks
things over instead of over
looking things.
All compliments received are
the property of the person giv
ing them and should be return
ed.
The doctor answered the
phone. Turning to his wife, he
said, “Quick, get me my sat
chel. The man says he cannot
live without me1”
“Just a minute,” said his wife,
who had picked up the receiv
er. “That call is for Ethel.”
A man in a southern state
went out before breakfast one
morning and husked 110 bush
els of popcorn. When the sun
got hot, the corn began to pop
and the wind blew it all over
the neighborhood. Livestock in
pastures where the popcorn
settled thought it was snow
and froze to death.
The only one who should put
faith in the rabbit’s foot is a
rabbit.
He: Would you scream if I
kissedyou , little girl?
She: Little girls should be
seen and not heard.
Old Gentleman—I noticed you
got up and gave that lady your
seat in the trolley.
Archie—Since childhood I
hav^ respected a woman with
a strap in her hand.

Home Sweet Home
The burglar had entered the
house as quietly as possible,
but his shoes were not rubber
soled and they made a certain
amount of* noise.
Suddenly the burglar stiffen
ed. He heard a woman’s voice.
“If you don’t take off your
shoes when you come into this
house there’e going to be
trouble. Its been raining for
three hours, and you’ve dared
to tramp on my carpets! Go
downstairs and take off those
shoes!”
The burglar crept downstairs
and out of the house without a
word. His pal, who kept watch
outside, noticed a tear glisten
in his eyes.
“I can’t rob that place, Sam,”
murmured the burglar. “Its
just like home.”
