Next muru- ing, we were.surprised to learn that Hon. Mr. Davies had ‘‘proceeded to Victoria.” Hon. Mr. Blair came to Rossland, rq visited some of the many valuable mines, within easy reach,..and after- wards declared, publicly, that he was pleased and surprised with the ap- pearance and prospects of this wonder- fulcamp; and we are not surprised that he upon his return to Ottawa, failed to make any such misleading and di i remaike as.seem to KOOTENAY COMMANDING ATTENTION The great. progress that the Kootepays have made during the past year has so impressed the . provincial government that more cmttention:will be given to legisla- tion affecting those districts than to any other portion of the prov- ince. The key to their future pol- ioy has been furnished by the de- lop t of the K The speech from the throne foreshadows , ™ very liberal policy on the part of the. Turner government. towards the mining and.other interests of : this most important part of. British Columbia, Our most important towns are being incorporated by special act; railway construction will be Jiberally assisted and the development of the mines made . the subject of legislation.. -West Kootenay is certain to progress more rapidly than ever. EEE IN THE INTEREST OF MINERS. There is no doubt but. that the have fallen from the lips of the hon. gentleman, who would not deign to quit his “private car” for a few hours and conte, by the less. inviting means of travel,to this camp to see, learn and know for himself what mining means, and what the prospects of this district really are. Instead of doing this, the Hon, Minister of Marine and Fish- eries goes ‘-to the coast” on the fish question.- That is exactly in his line, and for not coming into the rough) mining region we would readily for- give him, had he cdnfined himself reeepy dau! to. piscatorial affairs and had fot departed from bis nutive’ element to assail and malign ap in- be entirely.ignorant. We will admit that Hon Mr, Davies} is well qualitied “for the highgposition that be has the hufor to fill—that he can: readily distinguish “between a “school” of mackeral and a quintal ot cod, and caw lend: a four-pound trout without using a. net, but when it comes to mining .matters..we have to vote him out. He confesses that, at the. coast, he d. with many - sresponsible of the. provincial legisla- tors will be largely taken. .up this --session with legislation affectiug the development of the mineral wealth of the province. ‘This being the case the Recorp suggests that a delegation from Rossland be sent to Victoria to look after the interests uf this dis- , trict by obtaining the passage of ‘such legislation as will be the most beneficial to the mining industry of West Kvotenay. A similar - delegation was sent to the capital . Jast sexgion and did a great deal of 3. good for this camp. 1: As.the, board of trade .meets on +: Monday evening. next, this..matter might be taken up and_acted upon. It isa matter of a great deal of importance to, this camp- and ‘no4 time should be-lost. - Now is the * time for action. C —_—_—_—_——XX_ L. H. DAVIES’CRITICISED. His Statements Concerning British Columbia Mines Not Correct. The following letter from H. Bruce :Findley, of Rossland, which speake for .dteelf, appeared in an outside paper of recent date: Sir,——The Daily Patriot of: Dec. 28th, contains. uider the heading “British Columbia Mines,” what pur- ports tobe « teleg-am dated at Ot- tawa, Deo: 22, from which it appears that Hon. Louis Henry Davies, min- " ister of marine and fisheries, on his «=, Feturn from the Pacific Coast, made certain statements regarding the gold » mining indugtry in British. Columbia, which are calculated to:eseriously in- he K: mining. engiuecrs,” ‘and—from what they told him he no longer had avy ‘doubt of the wonderful mineral re- sources of British Columbia,” --If he were to read the report of Mr. Carlisle, the eminent engiseer who was sent official report upon. the subject he would be. more strongly convinced; but why convince the hon. gentleman further. In the face of: bis - present conviction, Which to him was. satisfac- tory, he volunteers. an assertion. that must have a tendency to weaken’ the faith that now rightly: exists, in -the great futare of the.
