Rossland Ores Win First Prize.
The Rossland ore exhibit at the
Spokane Industrial fairwas awarded
the first prize—a silver medal—for
gold-copper ore.' The B dary

marks, congratulated the citizens of
Rossland upon the steady progress
of the city and the rapid develop-
ment of the mineral resources of the
surrounding district. He then pro-

‘ceeded to review the legisation of

the last session of parliament, which
extended over a period of six
months,

He said the government had re-
cognized the necessity for a public
building in Rossland: and had made
a grant of $15,000 for this purpose,
and an additional grant would be
made at next session to complete
the building. A grant was also
made to improve the navigation of
the Columbia river. The extension
of ‘the government telegraph line
‘into the Atlin district, he thought,
would be of great benefit’ to the
whole Dominion.

. In apologizing for the failure of

tion increasing the tax on China-
men coining into British Columbia
he said that the people of eastern
Canada required to be educated on
‘the question before such fegislation
could be passed in parliament.

Hon. Mr. Fisher was then intro-
duced and expressed his delight at
what he had seen during his visit to
British Columbia. . He had always
heard of British Columbia -as.a min-
ing province and his trip had been
taken forthe purpose of studying
the situation for himself, so that
when questions affecting the inter-
ests of the province came up in the
cabinet, he could discuss them in-
telligently with his colleagues. Dur-
ing the- past year, he said, over
40,000 people had come into west-
ern Canada, most of whom had
come into British Columbia, and to-
day the province is attracting more
attention in Great Britain than ever
before in its history, chiefly through
the development of its mineral re-
sources,

government since assuming office,
