Unfair Criticism of Mining.
CDa wson News. )


 Mining more than any other industry is re- spOnsihle for the favorable publicity Canada has received in the United States and other countries in recent years The International- Mond Nickel merger gossip made fine front page news stories which forcefully told the world something about the importance of mining to young country of growing wealth and power Norandas spectacular success in getting rich copper ore at depth has strengthened opinion in other countries as to the likelihood of similar mines being discovered Consolidated Shelters is appreciated as a major mining operation. the success of which has been the greatest single factor in British Columbia's economic growth in recent years. Hudson Bay Mining and Smelt- ing was itself largely financed in New York
 When the world at large has a favorable opinion of innings possibilities in Canada, it is deplorable to find people in our own country who take advantage of every pessimistic bit of news concerning any property to depreciate min ing in general. All rational people admit that mining is speculative; in fact, it is exceptionally speculative. Probably less than mine is made out of every thousand groups of claims staked. On the other hand, some properties have been worked, abandoned and on being developed by new old interests proved in time wealthy producers. Unquestonaby, the outcome of any mining venture is speculative but any business is speculative.
 All wealth comes from the ground. Des- pite the undue share of criticism levelled at mining in Canada the industry is prosperous. Canadians should be proud of the heritage given raem by Nature in proven and unproven min eral wealth. When a particular industrial op- eration fails, the finger of scorn is not directed at that whole industry, and when bad news comes from an individual mining property the whole mining industry should not be spoken of with derision. Necessarily the public should know and appreciate the facts detrimental to any particular operation, but one disappointment is reason for losing faith in the ultimate success of other prospects in the same field.
 Fortunately the "pooh-poohing' of Canadian mining is confined to a narrow minded, poorly informed group. Yet handful of knockers do Ia lot of harm While pessimists throw rotten apples at the industry farsighted optmists such as the Canadian group of fnancers, who are making possible the creation of a gigantic nickel copper industry, have clear perspective of the true potential wealth of the Dominion

JUNEAU LUMBER MILLS MAKE GOOD
 RECORD.

The statement of the District Forestry office which showed that the Juneau Lumber Mills cut fully much lumber in 1928 in 192a not withstanding that the total output from the National Forests of Alaska was 3S per cent. higher in 1927 than in 1928, speaks volumes for plant and management of the company The statement declared that the total output from the National Forests of Alaska in 1928 was 4o,- 500000 board feet and of this 10,500O00 was cut by this Juneau plant That was more than 25 per cent. of ihe total. and gave the Juneau Lember Mills q decided lead over any other saw mill concern in the Territory.
 The Juneau Lumber Mills next to the Alaska Juneau Mine, has been JuHeaus leading industry for several years Its payroll and some of the payroll for the loggns camps that furnish it with raw material distributed here and it operates to bring lot of business here through shipping channels and otherwise.

THE HERRING INDUSTRY.

The shipmen. of herring and herring products from Alaska in 1928 amounted to nearly sS.- 5O0,o00. The magnitude of the figures makes it evident that tne industry Is one that ought not to b. destroyed or seriously injured without there is the very best tf reasons for 1t.
 The value el the Alaska herring output was more than double that of the haibut shipped from Alaska Of eoHrse the shipment of halibut from Alaska is not a true measure of the halibut industry. for Alaska is also interested in the halibut marketed at Prince Rupert, Seattle and Vancouver directly from the Alaska banks But the herring figures indicate that Inc industry ought not t3 ba destroyed just to make haibut bait cheap and easily accessible The cold storage plants can get herring fer bait for the halibuters by going out after it, and If the bait should cost little more it would be added to the halt- but price and passed along to the consumer.
 The situation is one that warrants Gov. Parks request for a thorough investigation by experts Ii toe much herring is being taken the catch ought to be curtailed, put that ought to be a last resort 4 three standardization dollar industry ought not to be harshly dealt with in a light mood. Legislators should look into the matter very seriously before doing anything rash

More Or Less True

Most wives are too ladylike to throw things at their husband, but rare indeed, is the one who isn't always throwing things up to her husband.
 It isn't strange that wife reaches the point where she runs off, but since they are all alike it's hard to figure why she wants to run off with another man.
 In a conversation with his wife man is supposed to keep his mouth shut and his ears open.

 Catherine Barker Spaulding was in this latter class. In her youth she was known as the Bertha krupp" of Am erica. She got this title because of her vast income, derived from the steel holdings of her father.
