The weather all day was anything but fine, but in spite of threatening rain and gusts of wind the ladies hopeful's set their tables on the church lawn, Their faith was just fied for the sky cleared and it was a delightful evening for an outdoor gathering. An excellent supper was served by the ladies and before eight the Clinton Kiltie Band arrived and began to play. The y band was very generous with its music and supplied a good deal of the program.

Albert C. Tiffin,.pap- for of Queen Street United Church Blyth, came to an end. The service itself was impressive and the number of worshippers present and their close attention to the service spoke of the esteem int which the retiring pastor was held by his congrega- tion. Mr. Tiffin came to Blyth four years ago from Watford whero he had just com- pleted a fruitful pastorate. During his four years of service in Queen St. Church he has won for himself a solid place in the esteem not only of his own congregation but of the entire community. He found in the Queen Street Church a well 9rgae- ized and deeply interested congregation and he contributed his full share both in life and work to strengthen the organiz- ation and to quicken the interest of his people. The annual reports always spoke of a church flourishing materially and spiritually, each department of church work bearing tribute to the wise and com- petent leadership of the pastor. It is an added testimony to the sincerity and earnestness of his leadership that the pas- tor has received the unfailing support of very many able and consecrated workers in the activities of the congregation. Pas- tor and people have worked together in fine harmony and excellent spirit. As a pastor Mr. Tiffin has devoted himself to the lives of his people and has been ever a welcome visitor in the home and In the sick room. One of the things for which we are grateful in Blyth is the fine spirit of friendliness and co•operation between the different churches, a spirit that has been encouraged and fostered by ministers and people alike. Union services are fre- quent and found enjoyable by all. For some years Queen St. and St. Andrew's have joined forces for the vacation period and have found mutual advantage in un- ited worship. Mr. Tiffin has taken .his part in fostering this spirit of unity and brotherhood and has always been ready to co-operate with the ministers and lead- ers of the sister churches. As' a preacher, Mr. Tiffin is well equipped for the presen- tation of the Christian truth. His,earnest• ness is apparent to every hearer, and his fluency and wealth of language aided by a voice of agreeable mellowness and pow- er have produced in him a speaker of high ability. It was the unanimous wish of the Quarterly Board of Queen St. Church that Mr. Tiffin -should remain as pas- tor for another term, but the Conference, to the general regret, has decided to give 'him of work elsewhere, The hearty good wishes of the community follow hien and Mrs. Tiffin, who has been an excellent co- worker with her husband, in their new sphere of labour, Dominion Day—Next Wednesdays 1 +c - The .Fresh Flavor ofdelicious GREEN TEA is preserved in the air -tight SALADA packet.

"Away back to the ice and snow, Mister Affery?" she s.tid, shaking her head as she essayed to take in his. companion with one of leer most com- prehensive glances. AI•parently she was satisfied, for she nodded to him with much kindliness • and said she hoped he would not mind a sixth -floor room, as it was all she had. Rankine was on the point of say- ing he would try elsewhere, but a look from Affery deterred him. After- wards, when he had gone through some of the lower grades of boarding- house life in New York city he owned that Affery was entirely right about' the kind-hearted Jewess. Her house, had points unknown and unshared by' any others he struck. But it was so different from any- thing in the way of a public hostlery he had ever made use of, that it can readily be understood how he shrank from it. In common with most men, boardinghouse life with its limitations and petty restrictions, its compulsory association with persona ono does not, under any circumstances, desire t know, made no appeal to him. But realizing that for the present he had no choice, and that he was probably wise in standing aside and allowing Affery to arrange matters for him, he said ho would be glad to look at the sixth -floor room. He liked it. It was near the roof, and had the complete advantage of be ing cut off, in some considerable 1 de- gree,' from the particularly involved odors permeating the rest of Mrs.! Isaacstein's establishment, While he was contemplating the cheap furniture and the somewhat unsteady -looking bedstead, Affery nade a swift bargain en the landing outside.

Time of cooking is from be- ginning of actual boiling, From twelve to fifteen minutes' cooking gives the best results. The best recipes call for one pound of sugar to one pound of berries. If you havo no scales, use approximately two cupfuls of sugar to, three cupfuls of berries, Broad, flat-bottomed cooking ntens` sits of granite or aluminum ware are best for the purpose.

This Is ivy -poison colleen for both tho barefoot country youngsters and the city cliff-dweller:3 who camp and hike in the open. Victims of the pest try the old -tinge remedies, ono after another, in their eilorts to relieve the painful irritation of ivy poisoning. Experiments and tests of recent dates throw much doubt on the value iaf most of those old "cares" which in- �, iilude lithe, sulphur, hypo, bluestono, jewelweed, milkweed, plantain, mint and grindelia, A new remedy which Chas given relief through different trials is strong soap, hot water and a stiff scrubbing -brush. A cold-hearted scientist says the value of most old- timo remedies is imaginary, and their reputation is gained from the fact that ivy poisoning runs its course, heals, and the remedy last usod is given credit for the cure, • "It is ive:l cstitbashed," he asserts, "that the poisonous property of ivy is a non-volatile oil which penetrates tho skin and the underlying tissues, pro- ducing intense irritation and much in- flammation, Few persons are entirely immune to poison -ivy and ,yet com- paratively few suffer severely from it. The poison is contracted by contact with the Ivy or with other objects which havo brushed through it, such as shoes or clothing, animals, tools or sticks, There is little or no basis for the belief that wind carries the poisonous oil and the susceptible per - tons contract poison by merely pass- ing a clump of ivy. "The best cure for ivy poisoning is a very simple ono and it is based on the relation of the skin irritation to the oil poison. The oil can not be.re- moved with ordinary soap and water, but it can bo washed off the skin by thoroughly scrubbing, with very hot water and `strong laundry soap, "Even after tho.irrittltion has start- ed and thesmall pustules or blisters have appeared (indicating penetra- tion of the oil into the skin) virtually all the irritating oil cnn be removed by scrubbing. Tho water should bo as hot as possible and tho soap used should bo a strong laundry typo con- taining considerable free alkali. A piece of pumice -stone or a stiff brush Is a valuable -aid, and several wash- ings should bo given -the infected parts of the body. - "Susceptible persons will find that after exposure to danger prompt and orough scrubbing of all exposed in will readily remove the oil poison before it has hacf time to penetrate," A solution combining ono teaspoon- ful of salt and ono pint of water is also recommended. After exposure wash hands and wrists thoroughly with this solution. Throw this away, prepare tho solution again and wash the face, especially around the eyes.

The aim in home canning should bo a palatable product with a minimum of spoilage. The following sugges- tions aro made to further this ond: 1. Bo sure the product to be can- ned is fresh and free from spoilage. "Two hours from the garden to the can" is a good slogan. 2. 'Wash carefully and thoroughly to remove all traces of soil. 3, Precooking shrinks the product so the cans pack better. Get it into tho container as hot as, possible and place immediately in the hot canner. This decreases tho time required for the material in tho can to heat through. 4. Either tin or glass containers may bo used successfully. Glass con- tainers heat up moro slowly, and when these -are used tho time should bo increased. ' Unless filled boiling hot and sealed immediately, tin cans should be exhausted to remove air. 5. Process fruits and acid vege- tables, as tomatoes, or vegetables can- ned, with acid, as pickled beets, in a water -bath canner, Any vessel hold- ing sufficient water to cover tho tops of tho jars can he used for this, Count time from when the water starts to boil, 6. Process the nonacid vegetables, like peas, beans, corn and spinach, in a pressure canner, When properly used such a canner will pay for itself in decreased spoilage and shorter time of processing, 7. Use the pressure canner or cook- er carefully, Bo sure the safety valve is kept clean, Do not close the pet cock until the air is completely ex- hausted, Count time from when tho desired pressure is reached, Regulate tho heat so that the pressure is kept at this point. 8, Keep the canned material under observation at roost temperature for about a week in order to bo surd that it is keeping, then stare, 9. Examine all canned goods care- fully before using. Discard any with an off odor or appearance, Never taste to determine whether spoiled until the material has been boiled for at least ten minutes. 10. Any spoiled material should be disposed of carefully, nine° it is harm- ful to animals as well as humans. Wild Gardens.

It was a warm summer evening, and little Charley, who had earten'his bowl of bread and milk, was sitting on the steps of tho porch. A sweet honeysuckle climbed over the trellis on either side, giving a graceful per- fume. As he sat there, weary, thinking of what ho had done, and what ho would like to do, a blue blue-bettlo fly came buzzing about --touched his nose --- flew away—buzzed and buzzed,-. and finally came back. "Confound tho old bottles" cried Charley, vainly striking at it, "I don't see what files are good for, They don't give any wool, or lay eggs, or draw loads, and their meat isn't good to eat, and nobody wants 'em in a show!" Hero the bottle buzzed up and hit Charley on tho chin; then flew into the vine. While it was singing in and out of the flowers, Charley suddenly found himself far away from home. I -Io was transported into a great forest, and all of the trees were heavy with oranges, peaches, grapes, straw- berries, apples and melons, growing on the sante branches and having every color. One monstrous pippin hung close to his hand, and he was doubting whether he should pluck that or n banana, a little above his left eyelash, when hey suddenly -awoke, crying because he had not taken tho banana. 'A thunderstorm had disturbed him, and he went into the dining -room to escape from the rain, Lo, there was the blue -bottle, as pert and active as though 110 owned the house, and as musical as two hand: organs! "Now for it!" cried Charley; mid creeping up, leo crapped him under a big goblet on the sideboard, Tito victory was won, and Charley capered a sort of war -dance before i tike fly. If his pleasure was not of the highest type, it was reasonable, He had overcome an annoyance, and that) is something. His victory was blood- less, and that is something; and it was just, and that is something more, And then ho began to examine his; captive. It was not like the house fly; it didn't resemble the gad -fly, and could havo eaten a whole colony of midges and gnats and mosquitoes. Charley lifted the golilet to study it more carefully. Away whizzed the' n fly, 'while Charley was rubbing off the tickle it gave him as it went—away, into all the space outside, as merry and as happy as though It had not c been a plague and torment for half an hour, ' d Charley's mother laughed at her lit-', d tlo boy's rage and sorrow, and threats of vengeance, and quietly asked him ifi t the old blue-bottlo did not remind him' n of some of his own pranks on busy' r days, when he felt like teasing her, ! s and did make a great deal of o "bother"? w Charley went out and sat down on n tho porch in the returning sunshine,' and, as he watched the rainbow and tinted • raindrops glistening on the 'q vine, he suddenly "thought out loud": "Mother, I mean to turn over a new, n leaf 1 That old blue -bottle has taught : t oto a lesson." 18 Perhaps the lesson doesn't "stand e straight out" from the story, like a! feather from a hat, but there aro: many children wlto eon find it as easily as they can the answers to some' of_ the puzzles and all can try. ; v They can, at any rate, find the blue-' bottle fly.

Nicotine dusts for killing striped cucumber-beet:es, potato•nphis, melon - aphis, cabbag,�e-aphis, pea -aphis, on- ion-thrips, etc., have corse to be one of tho standbys --no longer a novelty. Tho nicotine dusts kill's ineects in tliis way: The fumes of the nicotine enter the breathing pores of the in-; sect and paralyze the nervous system.' The dusts can bo bought ut most any' seed inure. Consult your seed catalog. ) Tho dusts are more effective if they aro tcpplic.d by using a duster that has u sort of canvas- cone on the noz- zle. This cone lumps the fumes con- fined, keeps duet from blowing away in windy weather, and puts the dusts right where they are wanted, Dustors cnn bo bought for using this new wea- pon of bug warfare. East year wo showed a sketch of a home-made dust- ing device that can be used with cal -1 cium cyanid or nicotine dusts, but it is not so satisfactory as a good duster. One thing above all others is es-' sontiul in using nicotine dusts—uses only fresh material. The killing part of the (lust; is volatile, and if left in open containers will soon become too weak to kill. It will keep in air-tig cans. Some folks like to snake their ow nicotine dusts, and it is not a ha job. Here is how to do it: Get a 50 -gallon barrel and on ea end attach flange unions into whi you can screw pieces of one -inch g pipe. These aro the "axle," if y want to call then) that. Tho hart. is mounted on n stand like the of fashioned churn stand, but the ba rol rests lengthwise instead of crus wise like the old barrel churn, A door is cut in the face of ti barrel; it is hinged so it can bo open ed and closed. A handle is put on th end of one piece of the gas-pipo. Put 50 or 60 pebbles (ono inch i diameter) in the barrel, then put i 50 pounds • of high-grade hydrate lime, and on this pour two and on half pounds of 40 per cent. nicotit sulphuto. Clo&io and fasten the door. and "churn" for five ininutes. The resulting powder will bo n 2 per cent nicotine dust. It should be used int meditate:y. To get a 4 per cent., dust. use fivo pounds of tits 40 per cent. nicotine sulphate for 50 pounds of hydrated lime, and' so on for other strengths. You can get the nicotine sulphate from your seed store. Cucumber -beetles require a dust having strength of 6 por cent. Some use 10 per cent, dust. On small cu- cumbers, ono pound of dust will cover from 200 to 300 hills. Thu melon -aphis, which attacks melons, squashes, cu- cumbers and cotton, feeding on the under side of the leaves, requires from 10 to 20 pounds of dust to tho acro. The pea -aphis is one of the hardest pests to handle. Denting should be- gin as soon us the pests appear. Use from 50 to 75 pounds of dust per acro.' From one to throe applications will be need al. For use on peas, it is all right to )nix the nicotine dust in combination with sulphur, thus fighting mildew, and aphis ut the sante time. Such a' ht mixture should be about 70 per cent, finely ground sulphur and 30 per cent: n nicotine dust of the proper strength.' rd In districts where boot army -worms attack peas, lead a'•s:enato can bo eh added to the nicotine dust.

R. e r y Cruelty to Fowls Costs You: Dollars. Sometimes from lack of knowledge, sometimes by mistaken kindness, and quite often from wilfulness, fowls are treated cruelly. "Always speak to a cow as you would to n lady" was one of a successful dairyman's mottoes, and it applies to hens as well, Not only from a humane standpoint is it best to be kind to fowls, but from 'a money standpoint, too, for cruelty to fowls is costly. One of the most cruel acts is to carry fowls by the legs with the heads hangl'ng downward. It has been a practice for ages, but it is cruel never- r- theless, for the blood rushes, to the head. A neighbor one day carried a x fat hen by the legs and in a few min- - utes it was gasping and came near ) choking to death. ✓ Another cruelty is to carry fowls by the wings, and with heavy -bodied x fowls this practice is dangerous. The f proper way is to have the bird under tho arm, the head facing the rear of f tho person, and the legs held firmly 1 by the right hand. A dealer in table poultry was one day noticed yanking stock out of a crate. He would catch a bird by. the leg or wing and otherwise roughly hnildle them. When remonstrated he , replied: "It does not matter; the e birds will soon be killed." 1 It is morn or less common to see • fowl,' thrown over the fence into ti s yard. There is no telling how they e will reach the ground, and the sudden e jar quite frequently does internal in- jure. This cruelty is all the greater o if eonsiderab'.o forme is put into the throw. _ A very pious old gentleman one day was vexed to the "cussing" point, be- - cause his hens got through a broken fence and wandered into his garden. In his anger he threw a stone and it lamed one of the fowls, "There, it serves you right; I don't pity you a bit,",was the only comment on the injury done. Ilow much more credit. able it would have been to drive them back and repair tho fenee. Overcrowding fowls in houses of insufficient size; cooping up stock in clot:e, badly -ventilated houses; allow- ing the supply of drinking; water to run out; .neglecting to feed at regular horn's; allowing filth to accumulate in the pens—all these cruelties cnn be laid at the door of, shiftless, lazy per. sons, Countless acts of' cruelty may bt seen in breaking up broody hens. Dousing the hens in water, tying by one leg to a stake, throwing in a yard of young cockerels to • bo knocked shout, penning up in coops without food and water --these are cruel and • costly methods, Broodiness is a pro- vision of nature; it is n period of rest, There is but one humane way to get the lien to change her ideas, and that is by placing her'in sa sep- arate coop where there are neither nests nor aside birds. co tl :11 ie 'p A Successful Plan. i I used to have a' spot of very light soil that grew poorer instead of bet- ! ter under my short rotation of clover, one hoed crop, oats, and clover again. jSo I hauled out soni0 rotten hay and ' covered tho spot while it was In clover, mowing around the ' spot in haying, and plowing the field the next spring for potatoes, followed by oats nn.:i re- seeding with aleike clover.

Malty Used at Present Date From Very Ancient Tiuteg, Most of us take the clergyman's robes more or less for granted, and never trouble te ask whtlr' they came from. Many of the robes at present In use date from very anicent times, They started as tho everyday dross of the humans. Then, as now, it was cps - toiletry to wear one's best clothes for churchgeinc, and the iltiniaters followed thl;; cu.;tone As time passed, congregations be- gan to buy specially good clothes for their priests to wear at the services, and these clothes were handed down from one mats to his successor. When a set wears out it was replaced by a set exse!Iy similar. In this way the robes cause to be fixed in typo and pattern. Church of England clergymen dropped a good many of the more lin- par,ant robes at the time of the Itef'.orntatien, but one or twn still survive, The stole wes originally the l'at:.e of slavery.

When laid out flat it is a semi -circle, about twelve fret in diameter and fastened with a clasp which is known as a "n;n t'4e." The surplice was originally merely an over -garment. The hood which marks the clergyman's 17niversily de- gree was at first a real hood, being worn over the head as a prot.'ction In the draughty buildings of the Middt.o Ages, and allowed to hang down the batik when not in. use. The bishop's apron is simply a short cassock abbreviated originally tor convenience when riding In the days when horseback was practically the only form of locomotion even for the clergy. t►.1,O,t..O'.••��4t��t►a�t►i�\����� ABOUT 3HFIJLC Prohibition a Mistake 1. WHERH STEEL IS TURNED TO "The most profitable lune for die - cueing an exptu Anent is after It has leen perforated, not before," observes Charles Platt, and he forthwith proceeds to discuss the experiment t f' prohibition in The Nation. Dr, Platt is opposed to prohibition, but has an np,an mind as to whether It might not be a good thing 1f it were possible to abolish all alcohol from the face of the earth. He speaks of the present attitude of millions of Atnerictute toward the law, and Bays, "That a lite. must be obeyed is he - 3 :Mei question -that is a matter sole - Is of eomnrou sense. But the legal enactments. it must be remembered, are laws only by courtesy. Laws .:re not made; the best man can do is to discover them." Ile says fur; titer that if resistance to law Is al- ways humoral, we have been sadly ill error, for the early patriots whole ail Americans have been taught to cimire were•wrong. It Is obviously i tdtculous for one to urge obedience for a law and at the sante time urge that it should bo abolished. Experi- ence has shown that the most effec- tive way of getting rid of a bad mew is to refuse to pay it respect. The right to choose one's own diet Is of all liberties tho most personal, and, as Chesterton says, to deny this liberty and respect any other liberty is like "forbidding legs awl elabor- ately forbidding trousers,'T It is of course a good principle of social government to sink the desires of the few in the good of the group, but as regards prohibition, It is the many who have derived benefits from alcohol, or at least have derived nu special harm from it, who are to ;dive way for the sake of the few who have been injured by it. He quotes pertinently from the writings of Oliver Cromwell, who certainly was no roisterer and no mainstay of sa- loons. Cromwell wrote, "Your pre- tended tear lest error should step in is like the man who would keep all wino out of the country lest men should get drunk." And again, "It will bo found an unjust and unwise .1oalousy to deprive a man of his nat- ural liberty upon a supposition he may abuse it." Dr. Platt says that in the passing of the Volstead Act the picture was !'resented of a body of learned and honorable politicians deciding a physiological truth by ballot, and he asks if It would be right to decide by ballot whether influenza Is con- tagious? Writing as a chemist and physician, he would say that techni- cal knowledge was necessary to de- termine Vat what is an intoxicating beverage, and he denies that the passing of a law declaring any liquor 1.ittoxicating which contains more than one-half of one per cent. alcohol docs not make it so. Of the Volstead Act itself and the various state laws enacted to support it he says what Anacharsis, the friend of Solon, said of law In general -that it is like a e.pider's web; it catches the weak, f.1te strong break through. Increasing the penalties will not, he thinks, ac- cempllsh very much, for he notes that In the reign of Henry VIII. 12,060 petty thieves and vagabonds were hanged without affecting seriously either occupation. That over -indulgence In alcohol is harmful he does not deny, but he 'thinks that the menace on this score was not excessive. Of the Y,30.0,000 men examined for the American array in the World War not .one In a thousand was an also - hone.

Sheffield is another word for per- fection in cutlery, Give your boy a jack-knife, and the first thing lie sloes is to look at the back of the blade to see if it cones from Sheffield. And you may proceed to explain to him why it is called a jack-knife. It was originally known as a jack -a -leg, cor- rupted from the name of the inventor, Jacques de Liege, a Walloon refugee in the eighteenth century, says Her- bert Vivien in Tit -Bits. Why does Sheffield enjoy this world-wide supretnacy for ravel? It is not merely due to the experience ot generations, for there are always keen rivals ready to cut out and un- dersell. The natives will tell you that the air and water of Sheffield are as necessary to steel -making as the cli- mate of Lancashire is to cotton. In any case, nature was a very powerful helper at the outset. The neighboring hills and dales abounded in iron, miles of lovely woodlands offered themselves as fuel, the very grindstones waited to be taken from the slopes, and there were plenty of rushing streams to provide water- power. And those streams possess peculiar properties. You may harden and tem- per steel with other waters, but the results are Revere the same. Attempts have actually been made to transport Sheffield water for steel -malting be- yond the seas, but. once reproved from Sheffield air its virtues seem to be lost. And so Sheffield remains the mistress of every kind of steel, from the massive armored plates of battle- ships to the cheapest knives and forks in our kitchens. It will probably take your breath away to be told that Sheffield is one of the moat beautiful cities in the world. As we approach by train at night-time, we suddenly behold lurid lights glowing lute bonfires or burst- ing from the tops of tall chimneys through the darkness. And when we awake next morning aurid fogs to wonder whether night is really past, we are confronted by another fairy picture. If we have eyes to see the subtleties of light and shade, we shall discern grace in the tall chimneys that tower like mina- rets, magic in the mysterious wisps of steam and smoke that might be unbottled genii of the "Arabian Nights." Then, turning from poetry and fancy, we may gloat over the blaclt pall of noontide fog, remembering that the more smoke is seen the more riches are being won for Sheffield and England and the world. A stroll through one of the big fac- tories is a revelation of energy, and at every turn some fresh wonder is revealed. Here is a long cylindrical mass being hammered into shape by a hydraulic press with a dead pres- sure of 12,000 tons, the biggest in the world. There is another uncanny machine that draws a red-hot metal over It like a glove, and yet another which rolls out huge armored plates as though they were Isere strips of dough, But perhaps the moat thrilling mo- ment'comes when the Siemens fur- naces are opened to release blood -red rivers of molten metal, which welter their way into vast tanks. No sooner is a tank full than a nighty crane descends like an eagle from tno raft- ers, and swings it away to casts at the other end of the huge building, eleoaking Seed.

Asbestos is -one of nature's most curious products and has only been known within the past fifty years in a commercial sense, according to statements issued recently by authori- ties on the subject. Old Mother Na- ture herself formed the strange asbestos rock in the earth in what is known as the Paleozic Ago. By its very structure asbestos seems to upset the laws of nature. It is a rock as hard and dense as marble, yet having such silky fibres that they may be woven, carded and spun into fabrics like cotton or wool or flax. It is at once the softest and the most enduring of all substances.

The Natural Resources Intelligence Service of the Dept. of the Interior at Ottawa says:— A very careful analysis of tho world's silver production shows that about one-eighth conies from miners within the British Empire. Canada's, silver mines have been tho greatest producers within the empire for two decades, according to Dr. A. W. G. Wilson, of the Mines Branch of the Dept. of Mines, To -day Canada is the thint largest producer in the world, being surpassed by .Iexico and the United States only, who together con- tribute nearly 66 per cont. of the an- nual production. Native silver was known to the In- dians about Lake Superior before any Europeans set foot in that locality. Champlain mentions the occurrence of galena on the east shore of Lake Tcniiskaming, directly opposite and but a few miles away from the fa- mous Cobalt areas of Ontario, but knowledge of the presence of silver is not recorded. Silver ores have since been found in Nova Scotia, New Brun- swick, Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Al- berta, British Columbia and Yukon. Records of production, which have been kept since 1868, show a total re- covery of silver to the old of 1923 of 451,000,000 fine ounces. Last year the recovery was slightly over 20,- 000,000 fine ounces. The prico ver varies daily, the highest yearly average on record being $1.23.2 per standard ounce 926 fine, and the low- est 47.2 cente. Present prices aro around 68 cents per ounce. The mines of Cobalt, South Lorrain and Gowganda, all in Northern On- tario, are Canada's Principal silver producers. Since the first discoveries in this area, about twenty years ago, production has been ries° to 367 mil- lion ounces, while present production is at the 'rate of nearly nine million ounces per year. Silver production in British Colum- bia and the 'Yukon is obtained from lead -zinc ores. In 1901 the maximum production was obtaieed, 1051,333 ounces, in British Columbia, Between 1906 and 1915 silver production mark- edly declined, but since 1915 there have been slight advances, until at present the rate ot production is about 8,000,000 ounces per year. A number of silver lend prospects were located in the Yukon, during the past few years, and rich ores are being mined in the Mayo district, where the present rate of production is about one million ounces.
