B. c. MINERAL PRODUCTION
 SHOWING STEADY CLIMB
 HUNDRED MILLION YEARLY

British Columbia, it is predicted by the Hon. William Sloan. minister of mines, will soCn produce miner als in the amount of a hundred mil lion dollars per year. Considerine the remarkable growth of the min eral industry Of that province. this is not far-fetched prophecy. If the record of the last five years is maintained, the $1O0, 100000 mark will be passed in 1880.
 The following table gives the of ficial figures for mineral prt duo tion in the province for the past 30 years. You will note the extra ordinary regularity of the increase. only a few yearly setbacks, and none of them bringing the figure back to the point at which the in crease started:
The Wrangell sentinel., 1926-06-10

These figures. adding S94.547.- 241 for the years prior to 1896, bring the provinces total mineral prc duetion to $92O,919.628. With the present impetus that the indus try is showing it is entirely possible that the total production may reach the bilion-dollar mark by the end of 1926.
 The growth of the mining indus try in British Columbia should be very pleasing to all other sections cf the Pacific Northwest, which are bound to share in the abundant prosperity that is descending on that part of this great nation over which flies the Canadian flag Mining Truth.

paradoxically enough. with each re-

In 1918, when the displacement
was reduced to $50 inches, the larg-

IN the days Of the Speedway's
