Northern Interior of British Columbia.

But a short time remains for the preparation of the ore exhibit
which is to be sent from Hazelton district to Prince Rupert exhibi-
tion, and it behooves the mining men to see that every. property is

in conjunction with the newly-formed mineowners’ association, and
their efforts, backed by those most concerned, will result in the
exhibition at Prince Rupert of a display of ore which will easily

It is probable that the exhibit, after the close of the Prince

course of preparation should b: included, .

Every miner and prospector who has good ore should see that
specimens are included in the Prince Rupert display, not only for
the prizes his ore may win, but also to give visitors to the fair an
