The directors of The Banner M. & M.
Co, at their regular monthly meeting
November "a, advanced the price at
which the capital stock would be sold,
GU and after January l, 1906, to so
cents, and have advised the subscrib-
ers for the stock of their action. OF
course this arbitrary advance in the
price of shares, the directors we'll
know, will have no effect upon their
real value, but in counting up the
number of shares already disposed of
the directors found that sufficient
money had now been realized to meet
all the payments upon the properties,
and to continue development work un-
til well along into next spring. The
shares were originally placed on the
market at the extremely low figure of
20 cents to insure this result, although
the men who organized the company
had guaranty from capitalists that
money would be advanced them to
meet any shortage in the payments,
before share was offered for sale.
Now that enough stock has been sold,
the directors feel warranted in holding
the remainder at figure nearer its
real supposed value, thus insuring a
greater sum for developing the proper

about 1000 feet of steel rail for car
tracks now on the ground and all the
timbers and other supplies laid in for
the winter. The crosscut tunnel now
being run, which will cut the ledge 300
feet below the surface and 215 feet be-
low the present developed rich shoot

feet, with about $40 feet further to be
run to reach the Banner ledge 1t is

with the ground, that vein which
shows up further south, known as the

in this tunnel. The tunnel is now be-

ing TO have it completed by the time
the roads can be opened next spring.
This will be the extent of the work
done during the winter. Should the
ore shoot where encountered by this
tunnel prove nearly as rich as it is
where developed above, the prosperous

pay for the property, unless the price
agreed upon is a very big one.

The whole country embraces an

Quoting water and broken land there
Is plenty Of wheat growing territory
to produce twenty times over the
requirements Of Great Britain.
AS wheat can be grown at $3.50 per
acre with wages to the men doing
their own work besides, and as year
in and year out the yield and price
are twenty bushels at 60 cents, the
profits are $3.50 per acre.
AS live stock doubles every three
years and grows like wheat while the
farmer is sleeping, we expect that this
will always be one of the leading feat
ures of the agricultural industry. AS
the Pacific coast or warm winds melt
the snow in Alberta almost as rapidly
as it falls, the herds of live stock
live out on the open prairie the entire
year through and are in good condi-
tion every spring. The native grasses
are highly nutritious and retain their

Canada, prophesied the present pros

Manitoba In the eastern portion of
the country was created a province a
year after the purchase from the Hud-
son Bay Company in 1870. In 1882,
the western country was tapped by
the extended main line of the c. p. R.
That year also territorial government
was established, the remaining out
lying country being converted into

in fact the first shipment from Mani
in 1877. In 1904 there were under all
crops, excepting hay, 1,575,000 acres
In the western provinces, producing
17,250.3 $50 bushels of wheat, 1920 $40
bushels of oats, and 1850, APO bushels
Of barley, realizing total Of about
1880 900 for the farmers.
In Manitoba there were grown in
1904 41,600,000 bushels Of wheat and
other farm products in proportion.
The first mile of railway was built in
the country in 1880, and to-day there
are over 5000 miles of road in opera
ton, and further extensions are going
ahead as fast as men and money can
build them. There are two trunk
lines in the country, the G. P. r. and
the Canadian Northern, with the
Grand Trunk commencing its trans
continental line. In addition to these
trunk lines, all systems are extending
branches to all sections where there
are settlements to patronize them.
The grain elevator development is
another assurance Of the wonderful
expansion of the country, the one
fourth of the whole area, or about 95,-
100000 acres of the country traversed
by railways being now fairly supplied
by elevators. In all there are 1.015
Of them in the country with a combin-
ed capacity of 27,6S3O00 bushels and
erected at a cost of over $55 100000.
In addition to these, elevators at the
head of the lakes have storage capac-
ity of 1S,200,000 Fourteen years ago
the entire storage capacity of the
elevators was 7,62S,000 bushels, to-day
1t is 41,600,000 and increasing yearly
from five to ten million bushels.

will be in the next ten years may
we'll be imagined from the fact that

work he unfortunately let the rope
drop by which he should have de-

be beaten. He unravelled his socks,
