"Governments, it seems to me, someâ€" times forget that a mine is not a mine in its first year, nor in its second, nor, oftentimes, in its third or fourth. That is no time for governments to demand and collect the heavy toll they do, and to thereby put a handicap upon the inâ€" dustry. The investor should be given the fullest opportunity to explore withâ€" out handicap, and to get his money back, then he will not complain at a fair governmental toll upon his enterâ€" ‘‘With lower taxes waste rock would be converted into profitable ore.

The higher the taxation, the more lower grade ore will Here are some excerpts from Hon. Mr. Manson‘s address. They are well worth reading and consideration :â€" In a recent addreas before the anâ€" nual meeting of the British Columbia Division of the Canadian Manufacturâ€" ers‘ Association in Vancouver, Hon. Mr. Justice Alexander M. Manson, of the Supreme Court of British Columbia, struck a vein well worthy of exploraâ€" tion. In a nutshell his idea is that minâ€" ing expansion will bring back employâ€" ment and recovery to Canada. He proves this by what mining has been already able to do along this line. But the mining industry has been retarded by taxation of onerous sort. Even in this miningâ€"country of Porcupine there is a tendgney on the part of some to think that the mines should be "soakâ€" ed‘‘ on the principle that "they have the money." If people would stop to consider it this way, a different view might be taken:â€"Wouldn‘t it be a lot better to have a lot of mines working Lift Taxes on Mines and Help Recovery at good profit, giving employment, helping all other industries, placing thousands of people in position to pay taxes, and the mines themselves all paying ag fair share of taxation, rather than to crowd out all but a few mines by burdensome taxation, with reduced payrolls, decreased industry in other lines. It is some such thought that was in the mind of Mr. Justice Manson and prompted him to call for a "National Mining Policy‘ that would have only the ultimate advantage of Canada in Hon. Mr. Justice Mangon of Supreme Court of British Columbia Strikes a Vein Worth Exploring. 6 6 A Tingling, Refreshing Beverage and Mixer _ DRINK ‘"‘May I remind you that there are successful mines in Canada where more than 25 per cent. of the net profit anâ€" nually goes for taxes. Ponder that and ask yourself whether that is wise and scund, and do not forget when you are pondgring that in addition to the tax on the mining companies there is a further tax upon the income of the inâ€" Aividual. With the latter tax no one ‘"Mining directly and indirectly can take every single solitary ableâ€"bodied man presently unemployedg out of â€"unâ€" employment. I make that statement without the slightest reservation. I reâ€" peat again, mining can give employ~ vein of lower grade. That natural reâ€" scurce isâ€"lost to Canada for all time. The proportionate amount of labour remains unemployed, the proportionate amount of supplies remain unbought, the proportionate amount of power is unconsum:d. Canada is by her own governmental action depriving herself 0f a wealth that she might otherwise have had. "What is it that has been dragging us down almost to the point of despair in the last six yearsâ€"unemployment. We have wrestled with the problem and we have prescribed and prescribed and prescribed, and year after year the Dominion has added millions upon millions to its debt.

Need I dwell further upon the importance of the government‘s attiâ€" tude towards mining.

With the arrest of two young men the police think that the series of robbsries will be completeâ€" ly cleaned up. Those under arrest are Orval Doherty and his brother, George. Orval is under suspended sentence folâ€" lowing his conviction for part in anâ€" other series of thefts, while George is awaiting trial on a charge of receiving stolen goods in connection with the other series of thefts.
