Portianu Canal Mining.
tPrince Rupert News.)

Probably great many people do not realize what is going on right at their doors in the matter of mining. We have tried to record some of the progress made at Portland Canal but it is difficult to tell it all. We have mentioned the advent of the Consolidated Mining and Smelling Company recently we'll as two big Eastern Canadian companies, one from Quebec and the other Ontario Then on Saturday were able to add to this the sale of properties on Salmon River to the Whitney interests, the people who recently completed the deal for the celebrated Fin Fon mine of Northern Manitoba With these companies operating and the Premier people extending their operation, the whole min- ing aspect takes on different tint. Progress of most marked kind is bound to follow. These companies do not go into district and put up lot of money unless they are pretty we'll assured that there is at least good prospect of getting results. They are operating rather than pros pectng companies.
 Next summer it likely that Portland Canal fame will spread great deal. Financial papers already giving great deal of space to it's possibilities but that is nothing com pared with what is likely to happen.
 Some years ago Portland Canal experienced a boom but at that time hardly any work had been done there and every soon the furry passed, leaving the place in condition than when it began. Everybody went away because there was nothing left for them to do. The mines had been dscredited and investors were dis gusted. Not one mine appeared as result of the number of companies into which people put their money
 Today all that is changed few faithful people remained and dug deeper into the hills, eventually discovering the famous Premier mine which is still operating and paying good divi- dends Others have steadily developed properties until it is now certainty that number of loperating mines will add to the wealth of the country. Portland Canal is certainly the verge of great movement and the whole Prov ince will benefit

TWO FINE APPOINTMENTS.

Not since he was elevated to the Presidency has MT. Coolidge exercised more wisely his power of appointment than in the selection of Dwight w Morrow to represent the United Stases as Am bassador to neighboring Republic of Mexico and Henry L. Stimson to be Governor General of the Philippine Islands. Both of the high est type of American citizenship, able, experienced as we'll as highly trained executives. Each has a record of accomplishments in public affairs and in private capacities that speak more elequently of their ability than any endorsement by professional politicians.
 Mr. Morrow, whose appointment came first, has already demonstrated the wisdom of his se- lection by the in which he has been re- ceived by the Mexican Govrnment Already there has been an easing of the tension that has existed between the two countries for many months. So pronounced has this been that it is not being over-sanguine to predict that he will be able to bring about an amicable understanding on all controverted points of policy between the two Governments if given free hand
 Mr Stimson who Secretary of War under President Taft, service in France in the Field Artillery of the A. E. F., with rank Of Colonel His latest service to the country, pre- cedng his appointment to the Philippines, was in Nicaragua where during tna past summer ne represented the American Government in an in- vestigation of conditions there and handled a difficult situation in way that brought him unrestrained praise from those opposing the Administrations Nicaraguan policies
 The Senate, in confirming both appointments without delay, showed that the worth of botf was recognized in that body. While there wa' no cause why there should have been opposition to confirmation, it is gratifying that none ae yeloped It is not too often that men or suei pre-eminent qualifications can be induced to ae cept positions of this kind and needless opposi tion would serve only to deter others equal, as well fitted to serve should opportunities como to them in the future.

 While this is farther than the Presden went in his message, it is not far as farn organizations have gone They point to the fac that high import duties shutting out man, lines of foreign manufactured articles, givinl American corporations control of home markst without any degree of competition thus enabling them 10 fix prices to suit themselves.
