B. Hastings, general man- ager of the War Eagle properties, made some witty remarks about the most prominent mines and proper- ties in the camp, which brought down the house. In opening his remarks, Mr. E. P. Rathbone of. London, Eng., spoke in high terms of the ability of Mr. Ferrier, and spoke of his first visit to Rossland two years ago. He was astounded at the enormous amount of work that had been ac- complished in the past two years, emphasized the importance of con- stantly publishing reliable informa- tion regarding the camp. He rec- ommended the policy of sound, careful development work in disre- gard of the demands for dividends by the shareholders. He believed the coming great mioing boon in and who also represent aggrega- tions of capital that will be invested here if the properties they recom- mend can be bought. But these are only a few of those who are in the party looking for investments though they have undoubtedly the largest capital at immediate com- mand. All of them know where to find the money if the proper invest- ment offers, and every one in the party expressed himself as much impressed with the future of Ross- land and of the Kootenzys, and it is more than probable that the ex- cursion of the Institute next year will again be to British Columbia and especially to the Kootenays and more especially to Rossland. While here Secretary B. T. A. Bell received a large number of ap- plications for membership from min- ing engineers and others.

Mr. Hector McRae read a very humorous paper critising some emi- nent m ing engineers. Mr. J. D. Sword sang two comic songs which were loudly applauded. Mr. W. J.
