mony deposits and there is every in
 dication that the extraction of this
 mineral has become permanent in
 dustry. Tin lode development has
 langulshed in a degree through the gen eral monetary stringenoy incident to
 the war but placer tin extraction has been augmented by the addition of
 one new dredge in the York fields which has done well in the brief sea-
 son of operation. The gross output from this source is also fully in keep .ng with previous years and the out
 look for the future is bright In the
 opinion of those who are aware of the
 conditions the present delay in the development of the tin lodes Is merely d temporary halt which is in every
 way beneficial owing to a clearly in
 dieuted necessity for a weeding out of
 certain factors which tend to hinder .ather than develop. There is no doubt of the extent and value of the
 lodes and their ultimate development is one of the surest prospects of the future In general sense the outlook for the future of mining is excellent and there is every reason to belive
 that d few years will find the indus try in d far more flourishing condition
 than at present In fields other than
 mining several important develop
 ments have occurred, and there are many assurances that the coming year will witness the addition of several in dustries to those already established. his prospect is in every way a de- selopment of the present season and i is largely the result of a broader view
 of the latent possibilities of the terri tory Investigation has revealed hith- erto unguessed or unrecognized fields
 for commercial endeavor and exploit ation and has resulted in d renewal
 of optimism that has long been lack ing in the business life of the district
 his in itself is a development of con
 siderable importance as progress can
 not be achieved without some firm
 belief in the future and it's possibili- ties
 From present indications, the possi-
 .iides of fishing in Boring waters will be thoroughly investigated during the coming season and, if the signs do .o5 fail the initial move in what is
 eeved will ultimately become one of the most important industries of she | future will be made through an ex- perimental plant to be established in
 vicinity. There is also a prospect | hat one of the long projected water power plants will become a reality ! md that the neglected railroad will be ] ehabilitated. In both instances de- | lelopment will have a widely extended | influence of all forms of industry. | Both projects are largely result of developments of the present season, and whatever effects develop will be directly traceable to influences arising | during the summer In d general sense !! the season has not only been very fair, viewed from the standpoint of results, but has also been productive of effects that are bound to nave a most wholesome and beneficial influence on the future of the terri tory. Although we are slow to rec gnize the facts the majority of us are due to be identified with the coun try for years and the prospects of the future are therefore as much matter
 of interest as are those of the present hence We cannot but accept the dem onstrations of the present season as other than most hopeful auguries of our own future. In finally summing
 D the results of the season one can not but admit that conditions have been fairly good from every point of Iyiew and that the prospect for the future is excellently bright.
