GROWTH AND IMPROVEMENT. -In nearly all the leading industries of the province growth. and improved con- ditions are to be observed. The output of the coal mines has largely exceeded that of previous’ years, and is likely to continue to increase. The development. of quartz mines, especially of those in the Kootenay, has been most satisfac- tory, while a like activity to that which has occurred there, it seems probable, may soon be witnessed in. the Boundary Creek district, when, by the completion of the railway now in course of construc: tion, the immense bodies of ore known to exist there can be properly developed. MINING ON THE COAST. . , On the weat coast of the mainland and on the island there is also every proba- bility of considerable mining develop- ment shortly taking place. There is also likely to be a large increase within the present year in placer and hydraulic mining. Already some large enterprises of this character have been putin suc- cessful operation in Cariboo, and, upon a smaller scale, in the Omineca district, while the recent discoveries in the Atlin lake district have disclos ed de- Itis tobe best three out of five Cornish atyle, and will take place at the Miners’ hall if that building can be obtained forthe occa- sion, Toward 39a miner at the Le Roi, and has good backing from his many friends and followers.

After some years of depression, the outlook for the mining industry appears more favorable, while the enterprise of those engaged in it has opened‘new and large markets for the productu of our forests. Tregret that the past seseon haa not been a good one for the salmon canning industry onthe Fraser river, owing toa combination of adverse cir- cumstances, but since our ocean wealth is so great, Ican but hope that our fish- eries may, in the ensuing season, prove silver, 5c; Mexican dollars, 453¢c, (Concluded on Third Page.)
