British Columbia mining and immigration debate in Ottawa
In Ottawa the debate covered extending the Crow's Nest Pass line toward Macleod and Lethbridge via a Dominion charter. Mr Bostock urged government action to collect and publicize mining statistics, curb dubious prospectuses, and bolster the Geological Survey. Officials signaled possible law amendments and stronger enforcement, highlighting mining as BC's economic hope. Separately in Constantinople and Toronto: reports on Armenian massacres at Egin, and a triumphant homecoming for Jake Gaudaur with public celebrations and a cash prize.
