Carelessness and _ thoughtlessness are among the hesettm«' sins of a new country. If this were not so, new lands would more frequently develop without being Burdened with the very evils that men left the older places to In the battle against natâ€" ure cireumstances men of the new L and are often too prone to be neâ€" glectful of the many little things that deeper thought would show to be prime necessities for the general pubâ€" lic advantage. For instance some are inclined to disregard such formalities as the regâ€" istration of births and deaths. **Oh, the child is born, or the man is dead and what ~difference does it make whether the fact is ‘‘registered"" or not?"‘ It makes a very considerable difference to the common welfare and progress,â€"more, indeed, than even the thoughtful man would appreciate without a little study of the question. The matter is very fully and ably dealt with in the last issue of the The Ontario Public Service Bulletin. This Bulletin is "the monthly review of public service affairs in Ontario, and the little magazine is worthy ofâ€" the widest cireulation. â€" The Publhic Serâ€" viee bulletin refers to the progress made by chrative and preventative science in the past few years. *‘*The conquests against deadly pestilential diseases have been erowned by sucâ€" cess.‘‘* The conservation of child life and the upbuilding of the race have been proven essentially practicâ€" al."‘ ‘‘The average span of human life may be increased full fifteen vears:"‘ ‘‘The prolongation of human life, however, is not altogether a matter of individual conduct,"" says The Bulâ€" letin. "*‘It depends largely upon inâ€" telligent public action. It involves: (a) The application of preventive measures in these places where preâ€" ventable diseases find their harvest; (b) The conservation of the lives of children and the prevention of inâ€" fant mortality; (c) The elementary and special education of the people that they may the more intelligently protect themselves; (d) ‘The suppresâ€" sionof the causes of allness or acâ€" cident where these things are preventâ€" able or controllable."" After demonstrating that _ these. things are the work of governments and are practical, The Bulletin conâ€" tinues:â€"‘‘*But we cannot. intelligentâ€" ly battle against preventable deaths when we do not know when or where these preventalle deaths oceur. We cannot conserve the lives of infants if we do not know when or where infants are. born. Hence, we are brought face to face with the proposâ€" ttion that we eannot attain the maxâ€" imum of disease or death prevention or of health or of life conservation until we have complete registration iof all births and deaths and causes of deaths."‘" Aside from the use that may be made of proper registration on the matter of the conservation of the pubâ€" liec health and the extension of huâ€" man life, there are other important advantages to be derived from these registrations. _ ‘*The recording of births,"" says The Bulletin, ‘"‘is very essential in all questions of heredity, legitimacy, the age of consent, propâ€" erty rights and identification. Reeâ€" ords of deaths are indispensable in determining the déath rate, detectâ€" ion of erime, proof of death and in the determination of the duration of life.‘" In ‘concluding the article, The Bulâ€" letin says:â€"**Asâ€"a matter of fact, it is not a doetor‘s problem. It is not merely a public health problem. It is a great social problem vitally nn- portant to all elasses of persons.‘‘ Papers throughout the length and breadth of Ontario would be. doing a public service by giving wider pubâ€" licity to this article in The Public Service Bulletin, and by reâ€"emphasâ€" izing the emphasis given by The Bulâ€" letin to the phrase,â€"‘‘See that Births and Deaths are Registered.‘‘ Camera Manâ€"I‘m sorry, Jack but we‘ll have to do that business over again where you fall off the roof into the raimvbarrel and are tun over by the steamroller.

REIDY WAITES OF YUKON GOUNTRY There will be general interest in the following extracts from a letter recently received by Mr. A. 8. Fulâ€" ler from White Horse, Yukon Terâ€" ritory, Canada. The writer, Mr. J. J. Reidy not only gives much new information regarding the _ eountry and its mines,â€"naturally of interest to this Poreupine mining camp,â€"but also there is the special interest cenâ€" tering round the fact that Mr. Reidy was formmrly a wellâ€"known and popâ€" ular member of the Big Dome staff here. Writing under date of February 2 fth Mr. IRteidy says :â€"â€" "I was not very favorably impresâ€" sed with things around the mine at first but am getting to like it much better. The town of White Horse is quite a nice place with nice bhuldings and excepting that it is smaller and has no brick buildings, it remindsâ€"me very much of ‘Timmins. | There is plenty of good hotel accommodation there, and things are alil right, but the mine is over four miles from town and it is not a very easy matâ€" ter to get in there as it is not very pleasant driving that far when the weather is very cold. ‘The temperâ€" ature was down to 70 below on the 22nd, and for about two weeks there it was quite hbad, but outside of that it was not bad at all. *‘The nccommodations at the mine are not very much and there is no settlement around the mine except about a dozén cheap dwellings for married mine‘is the largest copper mine in the Yukon Territory, though that is not saying so much. The production is about 6,000 tons per month of . per cent. copper and 6 per ‘eent. silver, and the ore is shipped just as it comes from the minue to the Granby Consolidated â€" Mining, Smelting Power Co. ht Anyox, B.C., and oc asionallv fto the Tacoma Smelting FQ@wer Co. cAtL. AnYOX, _D.W.,~â€" dillL ULâ€" ‘asionally to the Tacoma Smelting Co. ‘at Tacoma, Washington.â€" ‘The present company is operating the mine on 2 lease, and after paying royvalty, freight, smelting charges and the mining costs, there is about $3.50 per ton left as profit on the basis of 30e eopper. The smelter deducts 10 Ibs of copper ‘for estimated loss in recovery and 3¢ per lb off the N.Y. price, so that the cost of marketing the ore is about one and a half times the mining costs. .The ore bodies are very irregular, and develdopment forms quite a part of the mining costs. With copper under 25¢ I don‘t believe there would be much doing in the locality in the way of copper mining. ©White Horse is the terminus of a narrow gauge railroad 110 miles long, running as far south as Skagway, Alâ€" aska, where connection is made for boats for Juneau, Vancouver, Seattle, etce., and at White tHorse connectâ€" ion is made in the summer time for boats for Dawson, and in the winter time stages run from here to Dawâ€" son. ‘‘Wages are good here. I was here first, in the latâ€" ter part of December it did not get full daylight until about 11 a.m., and at 2 p.m. it started to get dark, but there is quite a difference now as the days are getting much longer. In the summer, I understand, it never gets dark and a picture can be taken at midnight as well as at noon. ©‘The scenery is beautiful around here, the country being very moun tainous, and the trip from Vancouver here I shall never forget."‘‘ ; Around The North Land Rev.
