Sixteenth Annual Report 
 
 — UK TKK- 
 
 British Columbia Board of Trade^ 
 
 JULY 7th, 1894, to JULY 12lh, 1895. 
 
 To the Members of the British Columbia Board of Trade : 
 
 Gentlemen, — We beg- to submit for your consideration the 
 Sixteenth Annual Report of the Board. 
 
 Membership. Nineteen new members were elected during- 
 
 the period under review, the present number of 
 active member** being 164. 
 
 Meetings. The reg-ular Quarterly General Meetings of 
 
 the Board held during that time were more largely 
 attended than in previous years. This is an unmistakable in- 
 dication that interest in the business of the Board is increasing. 
 
 Harbors . At the outer wharf at \Mctoria there are about 
 
 3,000 feet of wharfage, with freight sheds measur- 
 ing 2,500 feet by 60 feet wide. This is sufficient for the im- 
 mediate requirements of ocean steamships and sailing vessels 
 calling at the port. An official survey by the Dominion Gov- 
 ernment of the approaches to and alongside these wharves 
 gives a uniform depth of water at low tide of 30 feet. 
 
 The light on Behren's Island, at the entrance to v'ictoria 
 inner harbor, has been changed from a stationary blue to a quick 
 
12 BRITISH COLlMFilA HOA. .'^ 1>1- rUAPK 
 
 white Hash lii;iil, wliicli is more satisfactory. The usual dred^- 
 iiii^" has been continued in the inner Iiarbor and vessels having a 
 draui,^ht of water of 14 feet can enter at lowest tides. 
 
 At Xanainio harbor pile beacons ha\e been erected and 
 lii^hts are exhibited thereon, instead of on the buoys as formerly. 
 The chani,'"e is approved b\ mariners. The Dominion (lo\ ern- 
 ment has acquired Jessie Island for lii^hthouse purposes; and a 
 Ii_i,'"ht will be erected to mark the entrance to Departure Hay. 
 A foi^ alarm was establisiied at " l^ntrance Island" in October 
 last; the lii^ht at " Gallow's Point" has been transferred to a 
 beacon on the south of the entrance to the harbor. The depth 
 of water in Xanaimo harbor is sulVicient for the larj.;^est vessel 
 afloat ; and by extensne additions made this year to the wharves 
 the dockini^ accommodation is suHicient foi the present ship- 
 pini^-. 
 
 The lii^ht at the entrance of Hayne's Soimd is not satisfac- 
 tory ; it is understood, however, that the Dominion Ciovern- 
 ment has under consideration other aids to navigation which 
 will meet the demands of the increasing trade of Comox. 
 
 The light and fog alarm recommended to be placed off 
 Prospect Blurt", entrance of Burrard Inlet, is still under consid- 
 eration of the Dominion Ciovcrnment. 
 
 Improvements in deepening the channel of hVaser River 
 are being continued. Owing to the unusually high water in 1894 
 much damage was done to property on the banks of the river ; 
 new channels were cut by the freshets and old ones were more 
 or less closed up. It is hoped that the Dominion Government 
 will take such action as may be necessary to confme the river to 
 its proper channel. 
 
 Navigation. In addition to the usual repairs to existing 
 
 aids to navigation, pile beacons have been estab- 
 lished, about three miles apart, on Sturgeon and Roberts banks, 
 Ciulf of Cieorgia. The wooden spar buoys at the entrance of 
 Metlakahtla and on Hodgson Reef ha\e been replaced by steel 
 can buovs. 
 
ANNIAI. KKPOKT. 
 
 ■;> 
 
 riie Hoard has a^aiii uri,^ccl the immediate construction of 
 a stone beacon, with electric lii.'-ht, at Kiddle reef; an iron hiiov 
 on the west side ot" West rock, otV Sidney Spit; and a lij^-lit- 
 house on Portlock Point, Prevost Ishmd. The liohtht>usc will 
 be completed on September 30th next, but as no vote has been 
 passed by Parliament this session it is improbable that tlie 
 beacon and buoy here mentioned, and other much needed \\im ks 
 previously recommended, will be proceeded with this year. 
 
 Ocean Trade Trade with China and japan slun\ s satisfactorv 
 
 and expansion. The three steamships of" the Cana- 
 
 Mail Service. '•"'^^ I'acific Steamship Company find full tVeii>his 
 ^~~—~~" and passenj^^er lists, and the rei^j-ular sailinj^-s. one- 
 ship every three weeks, have been maintained. 
 
 The vessels of the Xorthern Pacific Steamship Ci^npanv 
 ha\e also been fully eiii^aj^-ed. 
 
 The Orei>:on Railway cK: Xavii^ation Company have inauj^- 
 urated a steamship service between the Orient, Puj^-et Sound 
 and Portland, Ores,^on. These vessels call at this port on their 
 inward tuid outward voyag^es. 
 
 The Board recommended over a year ag-o that mails for tlie 
 Orient be dispatched by the Xorthern Pacific Steamship Com- 
 pany's ships whenever a savini;- of time could be effected. The 
 recommendation was adopted, but instead of such mails beiiii,'- 
 dispatched from Victoria they are sent to Tacoma for shipment, 
 and in consequence there is still a loss of at least 24 hours. 
 The Hoard recommends this matter to the attention of the 
 incomini;- Council. 
 
 The direct steamship service between Canada and the Aus- 
 tralasian colonies continues, and the trade between these coun- 
 tries is increasinii'. 
 
 Craving Dock. Attention is directed to the reduced scale of 
 chari^^es for the use of the (Jravintj I^ock at Ivsqui- 
 malt, to be found in the Appendices. This dock will admit 
 vessels 480 feet long-, drawing- 29 feet of w ater. 
 
H 
 
 BRITISH COLl'MBIA BOARD OF TRADE 
 
 The Marine Railway at Esquimalt is capable of haulinjj^out 
 vessels 320 feet long-, 2,500 tons dead weight, with 22 feet 
 draught of water. 
 
 A " way " similar to the Marine Railway, only on a smaller 
 scale, has recently been constructed at Victoria. 
 
 Tslegraphs. No addition has been made to the telegraph 
 
 system, and Vancouver Island is frequently cut 
 off from the outside world in consequence of the only line being 
 out of order. With the increasing trade of the Island, which 
 customs returns show^ to be two-thirds of that of the whole 
 Province, interruptions to telegraphic communication become 
 year by year more serious, and the early construction and 
 operation of an alternative cable to connect with the United 
 States telegraph systems is imperative. 
 
 A cable to Australia, referred to in the last annual report, 
 is still under the consideration of the Imperial, Dominion and 
 Australasian Governments, with every prospect of early estab- 
 lishment. 
 
 The largely increased trade with China and Japan will 
 necessitate a direct cable to those countries in the near future. 
 
 Nicaragua In view of the great importance of the Nicar- 
 
 Canal. agua Canal to the trade and cotnmerce of the 
 "*""" Pacific Coast, the following information is of in- 
 terest : The entire length of the canal from the Atlantic to the 
 Pacific Ocean is 169)1^ miles. Of this distance, however, only 
 26^ miles w^ill have to be excavated for the channel of the canal, 
 as the remaining 142^ miles are in lakes, rivers, and basins, 
 which will make part of the course. The elevation of the sum- 
 mit level of the canal above sea level will be no feet, to be 
 attained by six locks, three near either end of the canal. " The 
 Nicaragua route will reduce the distance for a sailing ship 
 bet /een England and Victoria by about 7,000 miles ; and between 
 Halifax and V^ictoria about 10,000 miles. It is hardly possible 
 to over estimate the value of this great saving of time and dis- 
 
ANNL'AL REPORT. 
 
 tance, and the consequent impetus it will give to the trade and 
 commerce of this Province. 
 
 Trade with 
 
 A Treaty of Commerce and Navigation be- 
 
 Japan. tween Great Britain and Japan was arranged in 
 July last, securing to each of the high contracting 
 parties "most favored nation" privileges. The treaty does not 
 come into effect for five years from date of signature ; and it 
 provides that certain of the British possessions, including the 
 Dominion of Canada, shall not be subject to its stipulations, 
 unless notice of a desire that they should be party thereto be 
 ;,^iven to the Japanese Government within two years from the 
 date of its ratification. 
 
 In view of the increasing associations of the Province and 
 of the Dominion generally with Japan, it is desirable that the 
 full bearing of the details of the treaty be well understood as 
 regards its possible effects upon this Province. The subject is 
 recommended to the consideration of the incoming Council. 
 
 Railways. Although railway construction within the Pro- 
 
 vince has been limited during the past twelve 
 months, that which has been undertaken is of much importance 
 to the mineral development of the Kootenay District. 
 
 The completion and operation of the Nakusp & Slocan 
 Railroad furnishes an outlet for the silver ores of that mining 
 section, and many thousand tons have since been shipped to the 
 United States smelters. This road is now being extended some 
 miles further, to reach the product of a rich group of mines 
 situate in the heart of the Slocan country. 
 
 The Kaslo & Slocan Railroad, running from Kaslo, on 
 Kootenay Lake, up the eastern slope of the Slocan range, is 
 now nearly completed. This railway will furnish an easy outlet 
 for many of the Slocan mines, from which the ore has hitherto 
 been teamed. It also reaches some of the mines served by the 
 Nakusp & Slocan Railroad, giving competitive transportation 
 rates. It is expected that both of these railroads will be further 
 extended to meet growing requirements. 
 
i6 
 
 HRITISII COLL. MIMA IJOAKD 0\- TKADi;. 
 
 Two railways will shortly be coiistrucred to reach the j^rld 
 mines at Trail Creek ; one from a point on the Ci>Iumbia River, 
 to be built by the Canadian Pacific Railway Company; the other 
 from the Ignited States boundary line, connecting- with the 
 Spokane & Northern Railroad. 
 
 The Crow's Xest branch of the Canadian I'acitic Railroad 
 and the British Columbia Southern Railroad are not yet com- 
 menced, but it is understood that they will shortly be proceeded 
 with. 
 
 The operation of the railroads in Kootenay District con- 
 structed durinji' the past three \ears has ifiven the mininir 
 industries a i;reat impetus, but the completion of the lines 
 contemplated will i^reatly aid further de\ elopments. 
 
 The extension of the l^.squimalt X: Xanaimo Railroad on 
 \'ancouver Island lias been deferred. 
 
 The projected British P.icific Railroad is a matter of much 
 importance to the Fro\ince, and it is hoped that a proposition 
 will be made to the Provincial Ciovernment with the view of 
 securing its early commencement. The opening up of the coun- 
 trv King between the coast and the eastern boundarv of the 
 Proxince necessitates die building of this line, which would 
 develop the central and northern sections, where the agricultural 
 and pastoral resources are of immense extent. 
 
 Other proposed railwaxs to open up various portions of the 
 Province, for which charters have been obtained, have not been 
 commenced, owing to the absence of required capital. 
 
 in view oi' the sparse population of the Province, and the 
 large extent of its area, a liberal railway policy on the part of 
 both Provincial and Dominion Governments is required to 
 develop the many resources o( the country, especially as with- 
 out governmental aid it is impossible to induce capitalists to 
 engage in the required undertakings, involving such extensive 
 outlav. 
 
ANNIAI. h..'PORT.

 Durinj^ the recent session of the Provincial I. eijfisl.it ure an 
 act was passed which permits the co. istruction o*" liannvays to 
 mines, within certain limits, without app'yini^' for special lei,ns- 
 lation. 
 
 Public Works. The Parliament biiiklin_i,''s, mentionctl in the 
 Board's previous report, ha\e proijfressed, and a 
 j^eneral idea of the outlines of the main structure can now be 
 obtained. The color i>f the stone used adds to the attractive- 
 ness of the desit^n. The buildiiii^'s w ill cvvst not less than $()oo,- 
 (Doc) before the}' are completed. 
 
 The gfranite foimdation oi' the Post OHice is linished, and 
 the upper portions of the buildiui^ are bein*^- erected. .\ Cus- 
 toms House, to adjoin the Post Otlice, is partly provided for in 
 Dominion Cloxernment estimates, and it is expected that there 
 will be no delay in commencinj^ this much needed buildiui^-. It 
 is understood that these two building's will cost 8250,000. 
 
 - A substantial building- for military stores is in course of 
 erection alontrside the recenth' constructtxl Drill Hall. 'Ihese 
 are the public buildings iii course of erection. 
 
 The "rovincial Home at Kamloops has been erected at a 
 cost of $25,832. The cylinder pier bridge over Thompson 
 River, at Ashcrott, will cost $11,288. Sexeral smaller bridges 
 were built during 1894. The contract has been let for a Court 
 House at Xanaimo ; it is estimated that the building when com- 
 pleted will cost $28,000. Kxisting roads were repaired and new 
 ones made, to increase means of connection in outl\ ing districts. 
 
 Mining. The expectations in mining development out- 
 
 lined in the Hoard's previous report have been 
 fully realized. The coal output during 1894 was 1,012,953 tons, 
 the second best year on record, disposed of as follows : I'-x- 
 ported, 827,642 tons ; consumed at home, 165,776 tons ; with 
 less than two weeks' productioii on hand at the end of the year. 
 Shipments were niade from Nanaitno, Departure Bay and Union 
 ports, on Vancouver Island, to California, of 649, no tons, the 
 remainder being shipped to Washington State, L'. S. A., Alaska, 
 
i8 
 
 BRITISH COLLMBIA HOARD OF TRADK. 
 
 Petropaulovski, and to the Hawaiian Islands. The coal taken 
 from the collieries at Union produces superior coke. At these 
 collieries are now bein^ erected loo coke ovens, for the product 
 of which there is a profitable market, both locally and in Cali- 
 fornia. 
 
 Other beds of coal exist on Vancouver Island and adjacent 
 islands, but at present they are undeveloped. Boring opera- 
 tions are now beinj^f carried on near Fort McNeil, at the north 
 end of Vancouver Island. 
 
 On Graham Island, Queen Charlotte group, from eight to 
 ten miles inland from a good harbor, three beds of bituminous 
 coal have been discovered and prospected. They range from 
 7 '2 to 16 feet in thickness and are ot superior quality. Two 
 large seams of anthracite have been also found near the east 
 shore of Yakom lake. Analyses will be found in the Appendices. 
 The deposits have attracted the attention of capitalists and 
 there is every prospect of this valuable coal being developed on 
 a large scale in the near future. 
 
 Dr. Dawson, head of the Geological Department of the 
 Dominion of Canada, has officially reported that the coal for- 
 mation of Graham Island is less disturbed and older than that 
 of V^ancouver Island, and is the only one on the Coast known to 
 contain both anthracite and bituminous coal. 
 
 The outcroppings of coal near the Crow's Nest Pass, on the 
 mainland of British Columbia, extend a distance of about 30 
 miles, and the superior quality is indicated by the analyses to be 
 found in the appendices. This coal produces excellent coke, 
 which will be in great demand in the mining districts. At 
 present coke costs in Kootenay $14 per ton ; but when the pro- 
 jected British Columbia Southern Railway is built it is expected 
 that better coke from the Crow's Nest collieries will be supplied 
 in Kootenay at about half present prices. 
 
 The smelter at Pilot Bay now uses about 3<d tons of coke 
 per day, but its operations are very much retarded on account 
 of the lack of cheaper fuel, of which, when it can be supplied, 
 
ANMAI. REPORT.

 a very large quantity will be consumed. Other smelters in 
 Kootenay are contemplated, and when in operation w ill also be 
 larj^e consumers of coke. 
 
 Kxports of silver ore, from Kootenav commenced in De- 
 cember, 1H93; the exports for six months, to May 31st, 1894, 
 being 586,361 ounces, valued at $415,368; the shipments have 
 increased since that date more than 100 per cent., the exports 
 during- the month of May, this year, amounting to 251,302 
 ounces, \ alued at $158,014. Some shipments from the Slocan 
 subdivision averaged 214 ounces of silver to the ton of ore, 
 which also con* ineu 71'^ per cent. lead. Six hundred and 
 forty tons of ore shipped from the Nelson subdivision averaged 
 116 ounces of silver, 12'.. per cent, of copper and S2 in gold 
 per ton. 
 
 In the Kootenay districts 1,215 mineral claims were recorded, 
 797 transfers made and 962 certificates of work issued in 1894. 
 
 From the smelter at Pilot Bay, which commenced opera- 
 tions as late as March 9th last, i ,301 tons of bullion were shipped 
 to .Aurora, Illinois, U. S. A., up to June 30th ultimo. 
 
 Activity in gold mining increases and much capital has 
 recently been invested in hydraulic workings, principally in 
 Cariboo. The success which attended the short runs made by 
 two companies during 1894 excited great interest. Last month 
 a clean up after a run of 172 hours gave 66 pounds 3 ounces of 
 gold; valued at $14,400. Sevetal joint stock companies have 
 been formed to prosecute gold mining on a large scale, and a 
 great increase in the output is looked for this year. 
 
 That profitable investments may be made in the mining in- 
 dustries of this province may be judged from the following 
 result of the "War Eagle" mine in West Kootenay, near the 
 boundary line. The first cost and development work amounted 
 to $32,500. Shipments of ore commenced on January first last, 
 and $82,500 were paid in dividends up to June ist ultimo. 
 Shipments of ore during June averaged 420 tons per week at 
 an average value of $37 per ton. The ore is mined at $9.50

 There were tjj placer claims recorded in the district of West 
 Kootenay duringf the past year, and there are 36 mining leases 
 in force. 
 
 In Vale district extensive work is bein^ prosecuted. Onti^ 
 hundred and forty mineral claims were recorded, 77 transfers 
 made, and 125 certificates of work issued during' 1894. 
 
 Prospecting" continues on Vancouver Island. .Assays of 
 ore found near Alberni i^ave $103 and $135 \alue of j^old per 
 ton, with traces of silver. 
 
 (lold mininj^ in the Vukon is at present restricted to work- 
 ings in the creeks and gulches. This country, althouj^^h known 
 to be very rich in g'old, is not yet thorouj^hly prospected, and is 
 ver\' diflicult of access. .As soon as these difficulties are over- 
 come it is anticipated that i^old quart/ mininif will be prosecuted 
 on a larj^'e scale. 
 
 The total provincial output of j^old during- 1894 exceeded 
 ;hat of each of the three previous years. 
 
 During the 12 months ending June 30th ultimo, forty mining 
 and smelting companies were incorporated in British Columbia, 
 to operate in precious ores, with nominal capital aggregating 
 $24,344,000. 
 
 Development work has been continued in the Cinnabar 
 mines in Vale district, some of the ore taken out assaying 20 
 per cent, of that metal. 
 
 't> 
 
 In some of the small creeks of Barclay Sound, on the west 
 coast of Vancouver Island, native quicksilver has been found. 
 On the north side of this sound, rich Cinnabar ore has been 
 discovered of similar formation to that of the Almaden mines of 
 California. Owing to its proximity to the sea, and the local 
 abundance of wood and water, the facilities for cheap working 
 predict a hopeful outlook for this industry.

 Rich deposits of iron ore have been t'oviiul on X'ancouver, 
 and smaller islands and c\^ the coast of the mainland of British 
 Cokmibia. The best known deposits are extensi\e and acces- 
 sible, and situated mostly near ^oo{\ harbors, with the necessar\ 
 fluxes for smelting" conveniently at hand. The ore axeraj^-es 
 from 60 to 70 per cent, of iron. There is an abundance of timber 
 for charcoal, also coal and limestone in the \ icinity of the various 
 deposits of ore. The Canadian market for ore is protected, the 
 duty beinjjc $4 per ton, and there is a Dominion government 
 bounty of $2 per ton on all p'\^ iron manufactured in Canada 
 from Canadian ore. These conditions, together with the avail- 
 ability of the I'nited States, China, Japan and .Australasian mar- 
 kets, with established steamship lines thereti*, should be suOicient 
 inducements to warrant capitalists in operating iron works in 
 this province. 
 
 The Cilen iron mine, at Cherry Creek, \'ale district, has a 
 contract to supply the smelter at Tacoma, Wash. This iron 
 ore contains almost sufficient gold to pa\ the cost of transporta- 
 tion from the mine to the smelter. 
 
 It IS expected that with the revival of trade the sexeral 
 varieties of excellent building stone and white and gray marble, 
 in which this province abounds, will be in greater demand ; and 
 that more attention will be given to our cement materials and 
 pottery clays. 
 
 • At the recent session of the legislature an act was passed 
 for promoting the provincial mining industry by the establish- 
 ment of a Government Bureau of Mines. The collection of 
 general mining information, specimens of ore, assays, and 
 lectures are provided for, and the information will be tabulated 
 and published from time to time. 
 
 Fisheries. The total salmon pack during 1894 was 494,- 
 
 371 cases, valued at $2,362,714. 
 
 The Dominion Inspector of Fisheries for British Columbia, 
 in his report for that year states that "it is gratifying to note 
 that the rivers of the province, especially the Fraser, show no

 In Pecember last, Won. Sir Charles M. Tiipper, then Min- 
 ister of Marine and I'isheries, visited Hritish ("oliimbia, and the 
 canners had conferences with him, but unfortunately Sir Charles 
 had to lea\ e for Ottawa immediately upon receipt of the news 
 of the sudden and regretted death of Won. Sir John Thompson, 
 late Premier of Canada, and the ci>nferences were abruptly ter- 
 minated before the complaints of the canners had been fully 
 considered. However, the Department of Marine and Fisheries 
 has since made reasonable concessions on lines desired by the 
 canners, and their operations are now much less restricted than 
 they had previously been, whilst the present rej^ulations afford 
 protection to the fish. 
 
 Prof. K. \i. Prince is now en route to this coast to act on a 
 joint Canadian and American commission to consider Interna- 
 tional fisheries questions, as well as the wasteful slaughter of 
 fisl; at Point Roberts, in United States territory, by trap, seine 
 and other destructive methods of fishing", which if not stopped 
 will surely very much deplete the run of salmon in Fraser river. 
 
 The salmon exported durinjj 1894 realized low figures, but 
 the market is now firmer and prices have advanced. 
 
 Deep Sea 
 
 Our deep sea fisheries have received g^reater 
 
 Fisheries. attention during^ the past year, and halibut fishing 
 ^"""""~~ is now established on a firm basis. This industry 
 is being conducted in a vigorous and systematic manner, and 
 gives promise of becoming of great value to the province and 
 profitable to its promoters. The shipments to Boston and New 
 York were made by three companies during the months of 
 September to April last. The fish was packed in ice but not 
 frozen, and reached its destination in good condition. 
 
 In previous reports the Board has directed attention to the 
 need of proper surveys of the halibut banks, but the Dominion 
 government has not yet taken action in th6 matter.

 numbering 867 whites and 51K Indians. Althou^Mi the catch 
 was larj^e, amoiintinj^f to 94,474 skins, the ruling'' low prices 
 gave results generally unprofitable to the owners of the sealing 
 schooners. The detailed statement of the catch by schooners, 
 which will be found in the appendices, is of more than ordinary 
 interest, it being the record of the first year of the industry 
 under the restrictions imposed by the Paris Tribunal. 
 
 The refusal of the CiMigressand Senate of the I'nited States 
 to confirm the agreement between the Clovernments of the 
 United States and Clreat Britain for the payment of $423,000 as 
 compensation for the Hehring Sea seizures, which sum is less by 
 nearlv $200,000 than the amount claimed, has indefmitely de- 
 layed the final settlement of these claims, greatly to the loss o\' 
 the claimants. 
 
 No definite information has been obtained regarding the 
 claims for losses occasioned by exclusion from sealing in Hehr- 
 ing Sea during the seasons of 1H91, 1892 and 1893. It is hoped 
 that these claims will jointly with the seizure claims occupy the 
 attention of the two Ciovernments in the negotiations now 
 taking place. 
 
 Her Majesty's Government has decided not to renew the 
 agreement with the Ignited States respecting sealing up of arms 
 and implements. 
 
 The provisional agreement with Russia provides a protec- 
 tive zone of thirty miles around the Komandorsky Islands in 
 the North Pacific Ocean and Tulenew Island (or Robben Reef) 
 in the Okhotsk Sea, as well as a protective zone of ten miles 
 along the shores of the Russian mainland, therefore all sealing 
 vessels found during the present season within the above men- 
 tioned limits will 'ue liable to seizure by Her Majesty's ships or 
 those of the Imperial Russian government.

 BRITISH C'OLIMBIA HOARD OK TRADE. 
 
 During- the closing days of the Rosebery ministry, only a 
 week since, Her Majesty's Imperial Parliament passed an act 
 for the reg-ulation of sealing- in Behring- Sea ; the terms, how- 
 ever, are not sufficiently known here to forecast the effect upon 
 our sealinj4 industry. 
 
 The sealers have this season experienced very rough 
 weather, involving considerable loss of life and property both on 
 this coast and in Japanese waters ; the catch off the coasts of 
 this Province being- about half that taken last year, and the 
 Japan catch is inuch reduced compared with that of 1894. The 
 short catch has probably affected the seal skin market, for 
 prices ha\ e advanced. 
 
 Lumber. The forest lands of this Province are very ex- 
 
 tensive, and the quality of the timber is probably 
 not surpassed by any country in the world ; 524,573 acres leased 
 to mill owners are estimated to contain at least 20,000 feet of 
 timber per acre. During 1894 13,730,764 feet were taken from 
 these leased lands, which, tog-ether with the timber taken from 
 Crown lands, timber limits, and private property, made the total 
 of timber cut during that year 67,499,277 feet. The exports 
 during the same period were 46,490,000 feet. 
 
 The export trade has since largely increased and it is 
 worthy of note that the deniHr.d is not confined to any particu- 
 lar market ; keen competition, however, has much reduced the 
 price, which has of late been scarcely remunerative. 
 
 The high grade of British Columbia lumber is well estab- 
 lishetl abroad, and it is to be regretted that the recommendation 
 contained in the Board's previous report, that the lumber for 
 export should be graded to standard specifications, has not been 
 carried out. Such specific grading would protect our mill men 
 and simplify the work of purchasers when placing orders. This 
 matter is an all important one, and the owners of mills should 
 in their own interests give it their early attention. 
 
 Industrial The principal new industry started since the 
 
 Establishments. Board's previous report is the smelter at Pilot 
 """""""""""" Bay, West Kootenay. This smelter is equipped 
 with machinery of the most modern type, a battery of boilers of 
 
AXNLAI. REPORT. 
 
 25 
 
 200 horse power, smelter stacks capable of haiidlintj one luiii- 
 ilred tons of ore daily, sampliny^ works with a capacity of 150 
 tons per day, and concentrators of like capacity; it is intended 
 to erect a refinery in connection therewith as soon as cheap fuel 
 can be obtained, when it is contemplated to enlarge the works. 
 
 In this district there is an almost inexhaustible supply of 
 ore for the enterprise, and it is probable that other smelters 
 will be operated there very soon. The completion of the con- 
 templated smelters will be of g'reat benefit to the Province, as 
 they will reduce, if not entirely stop, the exportation of ore; 
 and also admit the mining- of much low grade ore that cannot 
 now be profitably worked on account of transportation charges 
 to distant foreign smelters. 
 
 The paint works which commenced operation at Victoria 
 about two years ago already control a considerable portion of 
 the Provincial trade. 
 
 The chemical works established in the same city in 1S93 are 
 fully employed in filling orders received in the Province and 
 from the L'nited States. The promoters of this industry are to 
 be congratulated upon their success, they having commenced 
 their operations at a time when some persons who professed to 
 know predicted failure. 
 
 The cold storage plants at V^ancouver and Victoria are 
 availed of, and the future of these industries, r.ew to the Pro- 
 vince, is hopeful. The establishment of halibut fishing is to 
 some extent attributable to the cold storage plant for the supply 
 of ice used in transporting the fish to the Atlantic coast. 
 
 The prospects of the other industrial establishments oper- 
 ating in the Province, which suffered more or less from the de- 
 pression of the last few years, are miproved ; the prices of 
 lumber, salmon, and seal skins have recently advanced, and it 
 is expected that a similar rise in the value of other products will 
 follow. 
 
 Agriculture. Reports from the agricultural districts through- 
 
 out the Province are encouraging. In the Okana- 
 gan and Spallumcheen districts an abundant harvest is expected, 
 
26 
 
 BRITISH COLUMBIA BOARD OV TRADE. 
 
 and prospects in the sections west of the Cascades, on the 
 Mainland, Vancouver Ishmd and the smaller adjacent islands 
 are equally promising. It is probable that the crops of oats, 
 hay and potatoes will this season meet the Provincial require- 
 ments. The area under cultivation in 1895 exceeds that of 
 previous years. 
 
 During the fiscal year ending June 30th, 1894, 60,642 
 bushels of wheat were imported into the Province, on which 
 duty was paid, $19,096,32 ; and a large quantity was received 
 from the Northwest; it is expected that this year's harvest will 
 cause a reduction in the imports of wheat. 
 
 Fruit is in good demand, and large quantities are being 
 produced ; preserved and canned, it finds a ready sale. 
 
 The area under hops has largely increased. The "Kentish" 
 hops grown in British Columbia are favorably known in the 
 London market. Samples sent to Sydney, N. S. W., were pro- 
 nounced to be equal in value to good English hops, and worth 
 three to four cents per pound more than hops grown in Cali- 
 fornia. 
 
 More attention has been given to dairy farming, but with 
 the view of further stimulating this industry, the Board has 
 urged the Don\inion Government to extend to British Columbia 
 aid similar t(^ that granted to other provinces in the establish- 
 ment of co-operative dairies, which have proved a success and 
 of great benefit to the agriculturist wherever inaugurated. The 
 Board has also urged that the Provincial Government should 
 bonus, by a specific amount per pound, for a limited number of 
 years, the output of such co-operative dairies. At the recent 
 session of the Provincial Legislature an act was passed for the 
 incorporation of Cheese and Butter Associations, under which 
 five or more persons may associate themselves together for the 
 purpose of manufacturing these articles. 
 
 It is expected that Professor Robertson, Dominion Govern- 
 ment Dairy Commissioner, will visit British Columbia this 
 summer for the purpose of delivering a series of lectures and

 Surveys. The extensive sirvevs of Crown hinds pro- 
 
 secuted during the years 1891-93 have approxi- 
 mately met the requirements of intending- settlers, consequently 
 during- last summer surveys were restricted to subdividing some 
 of the government reserves into holdings of from 5 to 8 acres 
 each, and in continuing the photo-topographic survey of West 
 Kootenay; which latter survey is at present being further 
 prosecuted. 
 
 The small holdings are conveniently near the cities, and it 
 is expected that an appreciably increased supply of garden pro- 
 duce will soon result therefrom. Leases have been issued for 
 the majority of these holdings. 
 
 The sum of $25,000 has been placed in the estimates for 
 surveys to be made this year. The principal works will be in 
 the Chilcotin district, where a party of surveyors is seeking the 
 best outlets on the east and on the west, and in ascertaining 
 the amount of arable land along the route. Another party is 
 subdividing into 40 acre blocks Crown lands on the west coast 
 of Vancouver Island. 
 
 Full particulars are furnished at the Government Land 
 Office, Victoria, concerning the available lands of the Province, 
 and maps may be obtained free of charge on application. 
 
 The Surveyor-General in his report for 1894, directs atten- 
 tion to some rich specimens of magnitite, hematite, and 
 especially of coal produced near Nootka Sound, and recommends 
 that the geological examination of the west coast of Vancouver 
 Island should be undertaken and carried out as was that of the 
 east coast, which was completed years ago. 
 
 Immigration. The labor market is fully supplied in its pro- 
 fessional, mercantile, mechanical and laboring 
 branches, and it is unwise for immigrants, unless provided with 
 means, to seek the Pacific coast expecting to get immediate 
 
28

 employment. The mining districts of the Province, however, 
 offer ri great and almost unlimited field to the prospecting miner, 
 as the precious metals abound from the southern boundary to 
 its most northern limits. An annual certificate costing $5.00 
 allows a prospecting miner of whatever nationality, to take up 
 50 acres of mining lands. Many United States miners during 
 the past two years have availed themselves of the privilege and 
 have realized on their discoveries by sales to capitalists from 
 $2,000 to $30,000. For the agriculturist, too, with small capital, 
 there are many openings ; and domestic servants can find 
 situations at good w^ages. 
 
 Colonization. The system (referred to in last annual report) 
 
 inaugurated by the Provincial (iovernment of 
 establishing settlements of industrial colonies in different sec- 
 tions of the Province, has been productive of most gratifying 
 results during the short period of its operations, and the success 
 which has attended the initial colonies has led to several enquiries 
 leading up to additional settlements with promise of most bene- 
 ficial and far reaching results. The having our, hitherto, 
 unoccupied lands settled upon and developed by a population 
 of hardy, industrious immigrants, cannot but redound to the 
 permanent advantage of the Province, and the productions from 
 the labors of these settlers must in the near future tend largely 
 to stop the import of many supplies which is now so heavy 
 a drain upon this country. At the request of the Board, 
 the Honorable Colonel Baker, Minister of Immigration, has 
 kindly furnished a report of the referred to industrial settle- 
 ments. 
 
 The report, together with copy of the agreement which the 
 government makes with colonist settlers, appears in the Appen- 
 dices, and contains much \aluable information. 
 
 Education. The Board has not hitherto referred to the 
 
 question of Education in the Province, but inas- 
 much as there are few matters of greater importance, it is 
 thought well to give the following particulars, which will doubt- 
 less be read with interest.

 1S3 schools were in operation in British Columbia during- 
 1S94, with 12,613 pupils enrolled. The total expenditure on 
 education was $169,050.18, an averag;e of S13.40 per pupil 
 enrolled, or $21.71, if based on the actual daily attendance. 
 
 Education is free in this Province and is provided as fol- 
 lows : Any settlement containinj^f not less than fifteen children 
 between the age of 6 and 16 years may be created a school 
 district by the Council of Public Instruction, who have power 
 to set apart in such district a quantity of waste Crown lands, 
 and, with the sanction of the Lieutenant-Governor, to provide a 
 teacher and a suitable building' for school purposes. 
 
 In some of the smaller settlements a teacher is provided by 
 the government. 
 
 In the Appendices will be found statistics showinyf the 
 growth of the public schools in the Province. 
 
 Third Congress The Board has received an invitation from the 
 
 of Chambers London Chamber of Commerce to appoint a dele- 
 
 of Commerce of ^'^^® ^° ^'"'^ Third Congress of Chambers of Com-

 Trade and Commercial depression has been felt in British 
 
 Outlook. Columbia in common with nearly every part of the 
 ■""■■"" world, though in a lesser degree than in some of 
 the older countries. There are, however, signs of a speedy 
 revival, in sympathy with the L'nited States and Eastern 
 Canada, where steady and marked improvement has been notice- 
 able for some time past. 
 
30 
 
 BRITISH COLUMBIA BOARH OF TRADE. 
 
 One g"ood effect of the temporary wmbarassment has been 
 the greater concentration of effort on legitimate enterprises, 
 and general curtaihnent of the "credit" system. The outlook 
 for largely increased trade and commerce has never in the history 
 of the Province been more promising. 
 
 The exports during nearly a quarter of a century have 
 increased year by year, with almost unbroken regularity, 
 and the figures attained during the past twelve months are 
 the highest in the experience of British Columbia. The 
 imports too, which during 1893-4 showed a falling off, have 
 recently augmented. 
 
 While our imports swell the volume of traue and indicate 
 to some extent the measure of internal expansion, it will be 
 seen that they include many items which should be produced by 
 ourselves, and involve a contribution to the Dominion treasur) 
 out of proportion to the amount received therefrom for public 
 purposes. 
 
 The increased area under cultivation and the excellent 
 prospects of good crops will this year leave less ground for 
 complaint as far as agricultural products are concerned, but the 
 supply will not meet the ever increasing demand until a greater 
 area of farming lands are in use and railway communication 
 gives direct connection between the coast and the various 
 mining camps and the agricultural sections of the interior. 
 
 The advance in the price of fish and the revival of the lum- 
 ber trade, together with the inestimable wealth of minerals now 
 apparently on the eve of realization, have only to be approxi- 
 mately estimated to attract to British Columbia the capital 
 necessary for the further and effectual development of its 
 resources. 
 
 In regard to the position of the Board, it will be found that 
 the membership has been sustained, and the greater interest 
 now taken in its proceedings indicates that increased usefulness 
 may be expected.

MINING IN WEST KOOTENAY. 
 
 To the Members of the British Columbia Board of Trade, Vietorin : 
 
 (iHNTLEMHN, Since the previous Cleneral Meeting- twehe 
 members of the Board have visited Kootenay, and we now beg- 
 to report the information acquired and impressions received by 
 them. 
 
 The tour included Trail, Nelson, Ainsworth, Kaslo and 
 Slocan mining- divisions, and the principal properties in each 
 were inspected. 
 
 I'rom Revelstoke south the country traversed is mountain- 
 ous, the higher summits exceedinj^- 8,oco feel, upon which snow 
 remains throughout the year. The timber line appears to be 
 7,000 feet above the sea; below this the g-rowth is varied, in 
 places there is an abundance of well grown timber, whilst other 
 parts are inferior in this respect, and some of the mountains 
 are almost barren. Portions of the wooded area at hig-h eleva- 
 tions are free of underg-rovvth and remarkably picturesque. 
 
 West Kootenay possesses many natural advantages, the 
 most important of which are the navigable waters of the rivers 
 and lakes, over 300 miles in length. On the Columbia River a 
 first-class steamer service is operated by the Columbia & 
 Kootenay Navigation Company as a feeder to the Canadian 
 Pacific Railway. On the Kootenay River and Lake the same 
 Company has other steamers connecting at Nelson with the 
 Kootenay & Columbia Railway, operated by the Canadian 
 Pacific Railway, and the Nelson & Fort Sheppard Railway. At 
 Bonner's Ferry the steamers connect with the Great Northern 
 Railway, thus giving the district competitive rates with the 
 Canadian Pacific Railway and the American transcontinental 
 railways. There are several other steamers plying on the lakes 
 
minim; in wkst kootknav 
 
 ,U 
 
 and rivers. Short lines of railways lia\c been constructed to 
 brinj;" the products of tlie niines to these waterways, and to form 
 a connection between the Columbia River and the Kootenay 
 Lake. Considerin*; how rccentiv this countiv has been under 
 development it is well opened up. 
 
 The Town of Rossland, situated ten miles north of tlie 
 boundary, dates only from the early p.irt of this year and is 
 now the headquarters and central tradin^if point of the Trail 
 division. 0\er 200 well built frame houses, includini,'' stores 
 and hotels, have been erected on the townsite, and the popula- 
 tion in and adjacent thereto numbers approximate!}' 2,000 scnils. 
 
 The Cliff was the Hrst mine visited, distant abtut 15 minutes 
 ride from Rossland. The upper tunnel has been driven in ujo 
 feet, and the ore averag^es $35.00 per ton in gold and copper. 
 Shipments have already commenced. Passinj^ on to the Le Roi, 
 we found extensive works in operation upon which the simi of 
 $150,000 has been expended. The main shaft from which the 
 ore is taken is down 375 feet, and the present output is 100 tons 
 per diem. The averaj^e value of the ore is $40 per ton in i^old, 
 silver, iron and copper. The vein is in no place less than six 
 feet in width and in the lower levels widens to 30 feet ; the best 
 ore yet found was taken from the bottom of the shaft. Kijrhty- 
 five men are employed in connection with this mine the miners 
 and helpers beini^ paid $3.50 and $3.00 per day respectively. 
 The ore costs to mine S3. 00 per ton ; transportation, by wag'on 
 to Notthport, freij^ht to the smelter and treatment an additional 
 $13.50; it will thus be seen that there remains a g'ood marj^in 
 of profit and at the date of our visit there was the sum of 
 $50,000 cash available for the payment of a dividend, this over 
 and above the repayment of all outlay on the mine by sale of 
 ore. The War Eagle adjoins the Le Roi and the character and 
 value of the ore are very similar to the last named. .As this 
 mine is referred to in the annual report it is only necessary to 
 state that another dividend of $50,000 has since been declared, 
 making the total $132,000 paid within six months. Ore has 
 been shipped from other properties in this division, notably from 
 the Josie; and much development work is progressing" at all

 points. All around this centre the mountains are alive with 
 prospectors and miners; i.(kk) new chiims have been recorded 
 within tile past six months, and there is reason to believe that 
 many ot them, when developed, will reveal minerals in richness 
 and quantity as ^reat as any mine now in operation. Prior to 
 1890 very little was known of this di\ ision and the present 
 activity is due to the recent de\ elopment ot" the Le Roi and War 
 I'laj^^le mines both of which have paid ever since worked com- 
 menced on them. The fact that the veins of ore so far developed 
 increase in width and richness with depth is an unmistakeable 
 indication of permanency. A smelter is beinj;- erected at Trail, 
 on the Columbia River, for the treatment of the ore of this 
 district. 
 
 The next mine visited was the Poorman, on Flag^le Creek, 
 near Nelson, where there is a lo-stamp mill in operation with a 
 capacity of 20 tons per day. The ore averr.ges about $20 in 
 g-old per ton, the vein from which it is taken varying from ten 
 inches to two feet in thickness. Other veins have been found 
 on the claim and the development work has exposed a large 
 quantity of ore rich in gold. The Silver King is situated 5,ocx5 
 feet above, and as the crow flies is about 4)4 miles from Nelson. 
 Here ore is already in sight to an estimated value of $3,000,000. 
 Six hundred and forty tons shipped carried silver, 116 c:s. ; 
 copper, 12 per cent.; and gold, $2.00 per ton. The ariel tram- 
 way is nearly completed, it will connect the mine with a smelter 
 now in course of erection at Nelson. There are several other 
 rich mines on Toad Mountain, tributary to Nelson. 
 
 The Town of Nelson was laid out seven years ago; many 
 substantial buildings have since been erected and the principal 
 Government offices of the district are located there as well as 
 branches of the Bank of British Columbia and the Bank of 
 Montreal. The population of and tributary to Nelson is pro- 
 bably 1,000 souls. 
 
 The largest body of ore yet found in Kootenay is at the 
 Blue Bell mine, situated on the Kootenay Lake, about opposite 
 Ainsworth. The tunnel, 1,100 feet in length, entered almost

 immediately upon stepping- off the steamer, is at the far end 
 170 feet below the surface o{ the hill. Although ore has 
 been taken out in places to a width of o\er 70 feet the toot 
 wall has not yet been found, and the vein has been traced for 
 nearly a mile i)i lenj^th. It is composed of ores containinj;- 
 silver, i^^old, yalena and copper, value from $11 to $30 per ton. 
 The ore is treated at the smelter at Pilot Bay, some se\eii miles 
 distant, the mine being- owned by the smelter compain-. 
 
 The Pilot Hay smelter is equipped with machinery of the 
 most modern type and the arrangements generally are such 
 that manual labor is reduced to a minimum in everv branch. 
 At the time of our visit 100 tons of ore were being treated 
 daily. 
 
 Ainsworth, situated on the opposite side of Kootenay 
 Lake, is one of the oldest camps in the district. Some mines 
 tributary thereto are being worked and produce silver ore 
 proper, known as dry ore. 
 
 The Town of Kaslo, 10 miles north of Ainsworth, i^ a busy 
 mining- centre. It has only been in existence about three years 
 and notwithstanding serious reverses by lire and flood, it stands 
 to-day on a more solid basis than ever. The Kaslo & Slocan 
 Railway is now being- built from this point to Codv Creek, 
 distance about 30 miles, with a branch into Sandon. It will 
 probably be ready for traffic at the end of October. 
 
 We left the train fifteen miles from Kaslo and proceeded to 
 Three Forks by way of the Jackson divide and Sandon. Vm 
 route the Northern Bell was visited a mine upon which con- 
 siderable development work has been done. Five hundred tons 
 ot ore have been shipped, averaging 90 ozs. of silver per ton 
 and 70 per cent, lead, and we found 2cx) tons more were nearly 
 ready for shipment. The vein of concentrating ore varies from 
 6 feet to 20 feet in thickness. The ore vein of the Noble I'lve, 
 3 feet to 4 feet in width, has been disclosed to a depth of 300 
 feet and the bottom is not yet found, nor is Mie length known. 
 3,000 feet of tunnels have been driven in, and 20 men were

 continuinij;' the work in da}' and nii^ht shifts. The miners work 
 lo hours per day for which they are paid $3.50. There have 
 been shipped from tiiis mine 1,800 tons of ore and we saw 
 several thousands of tons of concentrating ore on the dump, 
 worth probably $30 per ton. The shipping- ore contains an a\er- 
 age of 135 ozH. of silver per ton and 73 per cent, of lead. The 
 ore is steel, wavy and cube galena, and carbonates. Four-fifths 
 of this mine is still owned by the locators. The Headman 
 Mine adjoins the last named and the ore is of similar character. 
 The vein is 4 feet wide and has been traced 200 feet deep. 
 About 300 tons of ore were stacked and ready for shipment, 
 quality being equal to a carload shipped which averaged 150 
 ozs. of silver to the ton, and 40 per cent, of lead. The f.ast 
 Chance, situated on the \oble I'ive Mountain, is also a ver\ 
 promising mine; development, commenced in August, 1894, 
 having paid from the start. Two tunnels have hovMi driven 
 aggregating in length 300 feet, al.-.o an adit level to tap the vein 
 1 50 feet below the croppings. The vein stands nearly vertical 
 with ai'i average of twelve inches of solid ore and carbonates 
 scattered through the ledge up to 14 feet in width. One hund- 
 red and thirty tons of ore shipped gave 175 ozs. of siKer per 
 ton and 75 per cent, of lead. The last mine visited was the 
 Slocan Star, located on Sandon Creek. Croppings in the creek 
 led to its discovery in October, 1891. l<2xtensive dexelopment 
 has been carried out and the vein has been exposed to a depth 
 of 450 feet; at some points the \ein is 50 feet wide, 8 feet of 
 which has simply to be broken, sacked and shipped. 'hree 
 thousand four hundred tons of ore have been shipped fror; ''s 
 mine and averaged 100 ozs. of silver per ton and 70 per ce t 
 lead. There remains about 20,000 tons of concentrating ore on 
 the dump. In connection with this mine a concentrating mill is 
 being erected, also a gravity tramway for transporting the ore 
 from the mine to the mill. Twenty-eight mines have already 
 shipped ore, and in nearly ever\ case arrangements are being' 
 made to continue shipping on a larger scale ; as there is much 
 development work progressing at numerous claims, the out- 
 look of the Slocan division is very promising. The Nakusp 
 & Slocan Railway affords several mines in this division the 
 
MIMNC. IN UKSr KOOTKNAV 
 
 37 
 
 advantage of competitive rates with its rival, tlie Kaslo iSc 
 Slocan. 
 
 At Three l"\irks, a miniiii^ town of very recent orii^in, there 
 is a concentrating mill in operation; another concentrator is to 
 be erected immediately at the Washington mine. 
 
 Quite apart from the industry of minini;' proper West 
 Kootenay offers an excellent field for the investment of capital 
 in concentrators and smelters, the necessit\' for which is an in- 
 evitable consequence of minins^' developments. It cannot be 
 very long- before the need of relineries will have to be met. 
 
 The trade of the district is already larg^e ai;d rapidly increas- 
 ing'. Through the courtesy of the Canadian Pacific Railway 
 Company, Mr. Wm. Brown, Assistant Cleneral Freight Agent, 
 accompanied the party, and we understand will recommend, as 
 occasion may require, the adoption of more ad\antageous 
 freight rates between Kootenay and other parts of the Pro\ ince. 
 
 The route taken by the part}' lay through magnificent 
 scenery, that on the Columbia River being especiall\ grand. 
 Few of the inconveniences so often met in travelling- through 
 a new country were experienced and in this respect the tour 
 was particularly enjoyable. The streams afford excellent lly 
 fishing and trawling on the lakes can be engaged in with equal 
 success; big game, such as cariboo, bear, sheep and goats, are 
 to be obtained on the mountains; indeed the facilities for sport 
 and cravel are so great that they ha\'e onl} to become known to 
 attract considerable tourist traffic. 
 
 Fven if no new discoveries were made it would not be too 
 much to say that the future of West Kootenay is assured. It 
 should, however, be borne m niind that but a very small por- 
 tion of its area has so far received attention at the hands of 
 prospectors. Scarcely a week passes without news being re- 
 ceived of fresh finds all of a nature to encourage and streng^then 
 the belief that so far the merest fraction of the wealth of the 
 country has been ascertained. Within the limited time and 
 space at our disposal for the compilation of the foregoing report

 it was impossible to do more than refer very briefly to the won- 
 derful resources of the district visited but we have endeavored 
 above all thinj^s to obtain and lay before you informatimi which 
 may be relied on. This, we believe, we have accomplished and 
 would merely add in conclusion, each member of the party is 
 personally satisfied with the result of his trip as confirmatory 
 of the unlimited wealth of West Kootenav.

 MINING IN ALBERNI. 
 
 If' 
 
 !ii 
 
 The District of Alberni, on the West Coast of \'ancou\er 
 Island lias, diirint,'' a lonj^ period, produced small cjuantitii's o[' 
 placer s^old, but it is only in recent years that attention has 
 been directed to the quartz ledg'es of the district. The first 
 claims were staked off at the head of China Creek in 1892, and 
 in the lollowini^ year numerous other claims were taken up. 
 In the early part of 1H94, some claims on Mineral Creek, 
 a branch of China Creek, were to some extent de\eloped, and 
 excellent returns have been secured from the various assay tests. 
 Durinj^ the past few months, however, increased interest has 
 been centered in this district, consequent upon the disco\ery o\' 
 many other promising lodes and the improved inspect of those 
 under development. The work done thus far has been suHi- 
 cient to prove the width of the veins and obtain suHicient ore 
 for assay and mill tests. From surface indications there is 
 every probability of a ninnber of paying' mines being established 
 in the near future. 
 
 Hydraulic claims are being opened up on China and Min- 
 eral Creeks, with favorable prospects. The gold \aries in 
 character from fine to coarse. 
 
 The mild climate makes it possible to continue work on these 
 mines the year round, while their proximity of the navigable 
 waters of Alberni Canal ensures cheap transportation of ores 
 to coast smelters. 
 
 The Provincial Government hr.d a report made during the 
 summer upon the minerals of this district, which describes the 
 numerous gold quartz ledges, and gives the names of the various 
 rock formations in which the gold quartz appears; a rough map 
 of the section accompanies the report. 
 
 The position of Alberni will be seen on the map on back of 
 cover of this report.

 Wo, till' im-nilifrs of tlio IJrilish ("nliinibiii lioanl uf Trade, desire to take 
 advaiitii^je of tlie oi)pcirt\inity afforded by your presence in our city to e.\i)re>> our 
 devotion to tlie person of Her Most (Irncioiw Majesty and our loyalty to Ikt 
 tliroiie, and to extend to yourself and your honoured (,'ountess a most cordial wel- 
 come to the cajjital of the most Western and largest I'rovince of the Dominion, 
 over whose destinies, aided by your constitutional advisers, you now preside. 
 
 The uiaj^nitude of the territory comprising this great Dominion, the vastness 
 of her resources, lier responsi!)le government institutions, and the genius and 
 enterprise of her people, all |K)int to this Canada of ours taking a most prominent 
 |)osition in the (ireater l{ritain in which the jjrestige and glorious traditions of the 
 moliier empire shall in the future have their fullest development. 
 
 While rejoicing at being a portion of the great Canadian ' ""edcration, we yet 
 in a special degree take pride in our I'rovince of liritish ('o ' ; in the grand- 
 
 eur of its scenery, the excellence of its climate, and the immensity of our natural 
 resources. 
 
 With a deep recognition of the deference which your constitutional advisers 
 attach to your matured judgment, and with a full assurance of your well wishes 
 towards this I'rovince, we would on the present occasion depart from what may be 
 the usual routine of a merely congratulatory address ami take advantage of your 
 presence to express ourselves on some mat'.ers of provincial moment, with the hope 
 that any subjects touched upon and requiring attention will meet with your kind 
 consideration. 
 
 .Statistical returns show tliat this I'rovince contributes per capita to the Do- 
 minion revenue a larger amount than does any other Province of the federation ; 
 also, that the Port of Victoria, in volume of contribution to the Dominion 
 exchecpier, from inland revenue and customs sources, ranks third highest among 
 the ports of the entire Dominion. 
 
 It is to 1)6 hoped that these circumstances will ever have the consideration of 
 ihe central government when public expenditures are being appropriated. 
 
 Situated at the extreme western portion of the Dominion, Victoria is naturally 
 the first port reached by steamers coming from the Pacific ocean, and the last port 
 passed by outward l)oun<l vessels. Desirable as it may be that subsidies of public 
 
AIM'KNDKES.

 pDriant tli.u no iiiju-lico lie iIdhc to any >c(li<>ii of our rouiiiry when micIi a--«i>t- 
 ancc is yivcn. In view of this, and of our ^>u|)rl.•ulal•y in provincial connncrci.', it 
 i- lo Ijc liopi'd llial this port will liavi- tlic jiisticc extended to it of licinj; rfco^ni/rd 
 a-* a pot! of call, and that our port"-- ri,L;ht> be duly protcctnl in any cNi^tini^ and 
 in all future ^ubsidi/.'.-il contracts. At present some sieani>liip lines receiving -.uli- 
 sidies merely call in passing. Iiut do not berth for the landing of carjjo ami pass- 
 engers, while (itlier steamship lino iml in receipt o| subsidies alVord i;ieater 
 facilities for commerce with this port. 
 
 This Hoard has niaile representations ihroui;h the proper channels a>kinn lliat 
 the Postmaster (ieneral ^;ivc instructions that mails to and from the Orient be f<ir- 
 warded by steamers other than those at present suiisidi/ed to carry mails, when- 
 ever the difterence in the sailini; tiates of the two lines of sieamer.s now on the 
 route would ensvue (piicker despatch, whicli would luMpiently occur: and as a 
 Irequent an' etticient mail service is an important factor in the develo|)nH'nl of 
 trade, it is to be hoped that the su^^ested improvement in the mail service with 
 the Orient will be carrieil out. 
 
 The lecent I'aris arbitration on the liehrin^ Sea fur seal fisheries dispute, 
 with its successful issue, furnishes another precedent for an International (.Hurt of 
 Ailiitralion, which alike the well being of nations and the interests of humanity 
 demand should be pcimanently establisjied. 
 
 An increasing; interest is now beii i: taken in our deep sea lishcries, and 
 enterprises have been formed to ship fresh halibut, cud and other fish to the 
 Kastern markets in larj^e (piantilies. Vour interest with your constitutional 
 advisers is recjuested to aid, by surveys of fishing grounds and otherwise, in the 
 further reaping the harvest of food wealth from our provincial waters. 
 
 The mining industries of the. Province are jierhaps of paramount importance. 
 The excellent quality of our coal is universally recognized, the productive 
 measures are jiractically inexhaustible, and the output is yearly increasing. Min- 
 ing in the precious metals is being prosecuted with vigor backed by capital, and 
 in llie near future the gold fields of Cariboo promise to exceed their former famous 
 ])restige, while the development in the Kootenay district bids fair to reveal a silver 
 wealth that will rival the richest experience of the mines of Nevada. It is to be 
 hojicd that the Dominion government will foster the development of our mineral 
 resources in every jiossible manner. 
 
 The floods which recently inunilated some lands of the Fraser River valley, 
 lnought out in a marketl degree the energies of the sufferers in their efforts to 
 combat the disaster. It is to be hoped that a well considered scheme for the 
 future protection of these lands will l)e inaugurated and carried to completion 
 under th'j joint auspices of the Dominion and Provincial Governments. 
 
 Considering the vast area of this Province, it is necessary for its development 
 that we receive immigrants of a suitable class. In view of the rights of the

 I nivince, an immigration hiireau should, we uiidersland, 1)e maintained liy the 
 Dominion (lovernment; hut as tiiis is not now being done, we would suggest that 
 some '.pecial allowance for such purpose be given to the Trovincial Oovernment, 
 whii h has instituted a system of placing settlers on the land. 
 
 The extensive seaboard afiforded liy Vancouver Island and the Mainland of 
 the I'lovince suggests special attention to lights, beacons aUkl buoys, so as to safe- 
 guard as far as possible the lives of passengers and the interests of the Imperial 
 navy and (>f commerce, and it is to l)e hoped that continuous vigilance vill be 
 exercised in securing efticiency .-'i these necessities. 
 
 The importance and desirability of an insolvency act has been generally recog- 
 nized throughout the entire Dominion, and sve trust that the legislation dealing 
 wi'ili this suliject which was introduced into the Senate last ses.sion, will ere long 
 result in an act which will meet the exigencies of trade. 
 
 Railw.ays must ever be prominent factors in opening up this Province alike to 
 mining and to agriculture. During the past few years considerable railway con- 
 struclicm, in the limited way of short lines, has taken place in the Province. 
 Much, however, re<)uires to be done in railway building to ojkmi up to settlement 
 great stretches of country now lying waste, and we trust that in view of our large 
 contributions to the federal revenue, the I);iminion (lovernment will by liberal 
 subsidies to railway lines in tliis Province, carry out the policy which has in the 
 Kast re ulted in such excellent railway and canal systems. 
 
 The new quarantine station recently established at Williams Mead, together 
 with the efticient plant and staff, will do much towards protecting our port, the 
 Province and the Dominion from the introduction of infectious diseases. 
 
 The buildings about to be constructed in this city for the post office and cus- 
 toms departme-,ts will furnish accommodation necessitated by our increased re- 
 quiremenis. We trust that the efficient postal delivery service enjoyed by this 
 city will be maintained by extending a sufficient remuneration to the letter carriers. 
 
 The seething unrest which agitates a large portion of the labor element in the 
 large centres of population is happily comparatively unknown in the Dominion. 
 Our l'»-ovincial Legislature has provided councils of conciliation and arbitration 
 which, from a pleasing experience thereof, we are hopeful will promote cordial 
 relations l)etween capital and labor. 
 
 We heartily endorse the opinion unanimously arrived at by the Colonial con- 
 ference, recently held at Ottawa, as to the desirability of a Pacific cable to connect 
 the Dominion with the Australasian colonies ; also of a fast Atlantic steamer m.ul 
 and passenger service, and we trust that the near future will witness the success- 
 ful completion of these projects. 
 
 We feel assured that, with good results to our Provincial interests, Your Ex- 
 cellency will be pleased to place before your government lor their consideration, 
 the several representations we have ventured to make in this address.

 I lis Excellency replied : 
 
 Your Hoiioi\ Mr. Pirsidi itt ainl GiiitU'ini 11 of lite Hoiud of Tratlc : 
 
 I return you sincere and hearty thanks (nr this address, which, in its attrac- 
 tive and graceful binding and handsi)mely engrossed as it is, will furnish a most 
 significant and agreeable souvenir of this occasion. I ap[)reciate nf)t only the 
 characteristic loyalty and the kindly feeling betokened by your address an<l by 
 your action in coming here to-day, but I also value and recognize the importance 
 of the interesting statement which your address contains and which certainly 
 forms a very striking narrative of the |)osition and history of the various (piestions 
 of far reaching importance because vitally connected with the commercial devel- 
 opment of this Province, and tlierelore indirectly concerning the l>(jminion as a 
 whole. I can with groat pleasure and without any hesitation assure you that I 
 shall lose no time in enabling niy constitutional advisers to have l)efore them all 
 ihe recommendations and suggestions which are here contained in order that these 
 may receive the full and careful consideration which they merit, not only on ac- 
 count of their intrinsic importance but coming as these suggestions do from a 
 body of such importance as that which you compose. As to that I n\ay say that 
 it has been my fortune and advantage since coming otticially to Canada, more 
 than thirteen months ago, to come in contact with several of the principal boards 
 of trade of ihe Dominion, and therefore I can all the more appreciate the advan- 
 tage of meeting you on this occasion and of hearing your views upon different 
 (|uestions with which you have dealt. Although you do me no more than justice 
 in attributing to me a very keen appreciation and keen desire to take advantage 
 of any opportunity for promoting the carrying out of any improvement in the com- 
 mercial affairs or any extension o( the prosperity (if commercial affairs in the 
 Dominion, at the same time I have no doubt that the influence of the (iovernor- 
 General is of a more ir direct than direct character, owing to the fact to which you 
 appropriately refer that measures must emanate from the representative govern- 
 ment of the country. This, of course, tak'.'s the shape of the ministry who arc 
 the elective representatives of the people as a country. At the same time the 
 Governor-Cieneral, even in detail, may, though unconsciously, take his part in the 
 promotion of the welfare of the country. As for instance, in assisting to make

 mayor of a small town ill a somewhat remote part of the Dominion. Wlieii l)e- 
 fore leavinj; I remarked to him that Lady Aberdeen and I were i;lad to have had

 plainly expressed as on that occasion. (Renewed laughter.) \'ou may be .-.ure, 
 gentlemen, that it is my earnest purpose to co-o|)eiate with those who have >hown 
 and are .showing such energy, enterprise and ability in assisting to develop the 
 great resources of this great tH)ii'ilry, and I ajjpreciate all the more the tone of 
 y'our address because, as I observed on .Saturday evening, as everybody know>, we 
 have been passing and are still [lassing through a peri(Kl of great depression, and 
 it is just possible we allowed ourselves to speak in language of .self-congratulation 
 regarding the immunity which happily Canada enjoyed to a large extent from that 
 financial disturbance which was so alarmingly prevalent in the Urited .Slates not 
 long ago. I say it is just possible that some of us may have forgotten that such a 
 crisis could not fail to have a reflex influence on an aii joining country. I need 
 not enter into the question whether that is '.he cause of the p-esent dullness in 
 Canada. I will only say that we have reason to be thankful that that depression 
 is less felt here than in some other places and still more that there is a prospect of 
 a revival of financial activity. Among the points here mentioned that shoukl be 
 heartily recognized is that in which you refer to the establi-)hment of a system of 
 arbitration. The chambers of commerce in the old ct)untiy, corresponding to 
 your boards of trade, have more and moie recognized that principle and have 
 taken their part in exercising influence in that respect. I am also aware, gentle- 
 men, that you have not been slow in taking action in the direction of suggesting 
 cahnncss and patience under circumstances were some excitement may naturally 
 have been occasioned.

 Immigration. 
 
 PROV LNCIAI. Si:(Ki:r.\Kv"s Ol I II K, 
 
 N'irioKiA, 15. C, Ji'iA- 2nd, 1895. 
 
 For the information of the British Columbia Board of Trade on the subject 
 of immigration, I may mention that although the government discourages, as far 
 as jiossible, the entry into the Province of pauper immigrants, it gives every facility 
 for the establishment of colonies of settlers possessed of sufficient means to 
 develop their small farms. 
 
Al'PENDICES. 
 
 
 
 I 
 
 There are nuinenjiis localities in the I'lovince admirably acla])teil for the 
 settlement of colonies with profit to the settlers, while indiviihialssiiarsely scattered 
 over the same localities could not make a living on account of having no easy 
 access to a market. 
 
 When the colonists are established along the sea coast it is worth while for 
 n steamship to call periodically to pick up the produce and carry it t'> either Vic- 
 toria, Vancouver, New Westminster or Nanaimo, where it tindsa ready market. 
 
 The very fact f)f immigrants beingseltlcd in colonies gives increased value to 
 their lands and they obtain the advantages of schools, churches, roads, etc., 
 which they otherwise would not have, probably for many years. 
 
 The extent of the market for farm produce may be imagined when it is stated 
 ihr.i the people of Uritish Columbia import three-fourths of the food they consume. 
 
 Colonies have already been established with great success at Bella Coola on 
 the Mainland coast and at Quatsino Sound on the north of Vancouver Island. 
 
 The plan adopted is for the intending colonists to first communicate with me 
 by letter as Minister of Immigration in order to find out what locality is open for 
 settlement, then to select one or more of tlieir number, in whom they have con- 
 fidence, to go and look at the ground, and to give him or them written authority 
 duly attested that he or they, as the case may be, are authorized to act (n behalf 
 of the colonists in dealing with the government. The delegates have to produce 
 to the Minister of Immigration a written acceptance from at least thirty colonists 
 that they are ready to accept the terms of the government as contained in the 
 accompanying agreement. 
 
 On this being done, the government sends a surveyor with the delegates to 
 lay (Hit the lands. When that is finished the settlers come in and the government 
 cmp'.jys them at wages toluiild a road through their settlement. 
 
 It will be seen that the govjrnment makes a free grant of the land on con- 
 dition of its development and that it also makes roads and provides schools, but it 
 gives no grant of money, either for travelling expenses, or any other purpose not 
 mentioned in the agreement. In fact the settlers are expected to have means of 
 their own and will not be nursed in any way. Certain localities are now being 
 surveyed for settlement and will be ready for location next autumn or the spring 
 of next year. 
 
 The colonies on the coast have the advantage of the fishing industry as one 
 of their occupations. It may be stated that the lands are rich, but usually covered 
 with timber, sometimes of heavy description, while in many places the alder land 
 is easily cleared and is the richest description of soil. Water power for mills is 
 generally available. The farming consists of dairying and the growing of grain, 
 roots and fruit, and in suitable localities, hops.

 BRITISH COLUMBIA BOARD OF TRADE. 
 
 Tins Indrntukk mnde the day of A. I). 1S9 , 
 
 lletween the Honouraljle James Haker, Minister of Immigration for the I'rovince 
 f)f British Columbia, acting under authority of an Order of the Lieutenant-Gov- 
 ernor in Council, approved on the day of 189 , (hereinafter 
 called the Grantor) of the first part, and 
 (hereinafter called the Grantee) of the second part ; 
 
 Whereas the Grantee is a member of a group of intending settlers in Ikitish 
 Columbia, which includes thirty or more families, who, with their families, are 
 hereinafter referred to as the "Colony," and the Lieutenant-Governor in Council,

 the public lands of the I'rovince to each head of a family in the said Colony, upon 
 the conditions hereinafter mentioned, which conditions have been accepted by the 
 Grantee, as well as by the whole Colony. 
 
 Now therefore this Indenture Witnesseth that in consideration of the per- 
 formance by the Grantee of the covenants and stipulations to be observed and 
 performed by and on the part of the said Grantee, the said ( Jrantor, acting herein

 the said Grantee shall receive a Crown Grant of all and singular that certain piece 
 or parcel of land, lying and being in the District of 
 
 in the Province of British Columbia, and being composed of lot 
 
 number in said District, containing by admeasurement 
 
 acres of land, be the same more or less, and which may be more particularly de- 
 scribed as follows : — 
 
 Which said grant shall be subject to and in the form provided by the Land 
 Laws of the Province for the time being in force. 
 
 And the said Grantee doth hereby for himself, his executors, administrators 
 and assigns, covenant with the said Grantor in manner following, that is to say : — 
 
 That the said Grantee possesses in cash the sum of three hundred dollars and 
 is worth that sum over and above what will pay and after payment of all jusi 
 debts of the said Grantee. 
 
 That the said Grantee will, within from the date hereof, enter 
 
 upon the said land and bona fide occupy and improve the same to the satisfaction 
 of the (irantor, and will continue to reside thereon with his family and to occupy 
 and improve the same during the term of five years from now next ensuing. 
 
 That the said (irantee shall, at the termination of the said period of five 
 years from the date hereof, have made improvements upon the said land to the 
 value of fire dollars per acre thereof. 
 
APPENDICES.

 That the Grantor may at any time during the said five years, by himself, his 
 servants or agents, enter upon the premises and view the state of the property and 
 the improvements theretofore made. 
 
 That the Grantee will observe and obey all such reasonable rules and regula- 
 tions as may be made by the representatives or managers of the said Colony for 
 its good government and internal administration, provided the said rules and 
 regulations have been first submitted to and approved by the Cirantor. 
 
 That the Crown ^-rant herein provided for shall be conditional upon the con- 
 tinued residence and performance of the conditions of similar leases, issued con- 
 currently herewith, by the other members of the Colony to the number of not less 
 than thirty, it being the intention that the said Colony shall n.-main entire and be 
 of a number of not less than thirty at the conclusion of the period of five years 
 when the issue of Crown grants is provided for. 
 
 Provided that in case of non-performance by the Grantee or by the'Jolony of 
 the terms of this agreement to his satisfaction, the Grantor may, l)y notice pub- 
 lished in the Uritish Columbia Gazette, cancel this agreement and enter upon the 
 aforesaid premises. 
 
 And the Grantor hereby covenants that so soon as each member of the 
 Colony, to the number of thirty in all, has erected a dwelling house upon the land 
 comprised in the respective leases, or so soon ps the said Grantor has satisfied 
 himself of the bona fide settlement of the Colo..y upon the lands allotted to the 
 members thereof, there will be made and constructed a wagon road through the 
 land occupied by the Colony.

 Tliis sc.ison's fishing and caniiing operations are closing witli comparatively 
 satisfactory results, the total salmon pack iieing about 500,000 cases, valued at 
 $2,500,000. 
 
 As anticipated, in August last, the canners and fishermen had much pleasure 
 in meeting Professor E. E. F'rince, whom they found i.iost courteous and consid- 
 erate in all matters connected with their industry, and it is expected that gf)od 
 results, nuitually advantageous to the Department of Fisheries, the canners and 
 the fishermen, will follow the knowledge obtained by the Professor during his 
 visit to this Province.
