LARGE INCREASE IN MINING;
MANY NEW MILLS IN OPERA
TION, BRITISH COLUMBIA
VANCOUVER. B. C.. Jan.. 27, m
—An increase from $'55,372,583 to
about $70,030,976 in value is shown
by British Columbia’s mineral out
put in 1929, compared with 1928 ac- j
cording to an estimate made by J. s
D. Galloway, provincial mineralo- j
gist, and released by the British
Columbia Bureau of Mines. This in
crease is equivalent to about seven i
percent. Actual metal production
shows little change, however, the i
rise being accounted for by higher j
prices for the metals.
A noticeable feature of the year’s
operations is that the total tonnage
mined increased about eight per j
cent, indicating the strides that
have been made in treating low- :
grade ores. This is particularly
true of the Britannia and Sullivan
mines, where improved mining and
metallurgical practice has* greatly
diminished the cut-off point be
tween ore and junore.
HOWE SOUND STRIKE
Outstanding development work j
done during the year included the ;
proving of a large body of low- j
grade silver ore at the Tonis mine,
near Alice Arm, by Howe Sound,
and exposure by open cuts, strip
ping, and a short tunnel, of a 100
foot shear zone, 3,000 feet long,
containing lenses of high-grade
copper ore in the Kinman property,
at the northern end of Vancouver
Island. Consodidated Mining &
Smelting has optioned these claims.
At the Old Sport mine in the same
district, this company has develop
ed to a depth of 1,800 feet on the
dip of the vein. Machinery from
its Rossland mines will be used.
NEW ORE BODIES
Ingenika Mines, a company fin
anced largely by stockholders of j
Premier Gold, has developed a
promising silver-lead-zinc deposit ;
in the Ferguson mine, Peace river ;
region. Along the Tulsequah river |
two large complex ore bodies have \
been opened uo, six miles from tide i
water. On the Tulsequah Chief, i
United Eastern Mining had done i
1,000 feet of tunneling and drifting
and about 2.000 feet of diamond
drilling.
About 120.000 tons of ore is re- i
ported to have been developed by
this work between two levels so far
opened. It averages 15 percent |
zinc, one percent lead, two percent
copper, six ounces of silver and 0.1 j
ounces of gold to the ton. Alaska i
Juneau is aeveiopingg a similar I
class of ore at its Manville group.
On the other side of the ledger, j
Topley Richfield and Kootenay
King properties, which gave £0
much promise m tM early status,
have failed u> fq’.Ull that piomi/e

Why let over-indulgence ruin the

modern figure so seductive? Be
moderate—be moderate in all
things, even in smoking. Eat
healthfully but not immoderately
—when your eyes are bigger than
your stomach, light a lucky in
stead. Coming events cast their
shadows before. Avoid that future
shadow by avoiding over-indul
gence if you would maintain the
irresistible youthfulness of the
modern figure*
