This 's the ^on mining men throughout Can-Q!f �nd Uhe United States are asking Snselves, and from present indica-S it looks as if the question must i-ered to the affirmative. The secured by the Cariboo Gold are held to warrant tlie as- Vion that the gold, values in the S will be fond to continue to the limits at which mining operations can k.-, earned on. - . . ^Douglas I-^y. resident mnmg en-^neer for the district appears to be �d m the prospect of a great re-vtealTor gold lode mining in the Bar-w.-rille district, that is as much as ^government mining engineer will admit he has been sold on any mining development. Discussing the probable future of the Barkerville district Douglas Lay says: ��The fact of broadest interest is one which is probably of great importance from the commercial standpoint, viz., the" a^e of the vein of the Barkerville rThis is, as was determined by is Free Eighty Per Cent of Gold is Fr and Run of Mine Could be Handled by Cyanide Cariboo with the single exception of C,dai Creek, are directly traceable to ^ 7� *&& the ^ C,dai �&&. the ^ h�?

Tho valuable leport of the l the initiation of e Dr area. W. L. Uglow. studied in the light of developments to date, affords such in-'�'ghv. into this ancient vein system, but doubtless we have yet much to learn on the subject. One broad fact of high importance is the strong evidence obtained to date, that within the area previously mentioned to which Mu-v ancient vein* are conf'ned. there are certain zones that are of marked ,;.w. .- � Ti,. . . ; promise. The geographic distribution the late Dr. Uglow. pre-Miss.-ssipp an .of the~e Z0l)es is therefore of the ut-end quite possibly pre-Cambnan.

In view of the importance of pre-Cam-brian mineralization in the gold camps of the Canad'an Shield and in other parts of the world, the age of the mineralization . in the Barkerville. area , is one of arresting interest. Certain im-Dirtant differences in characteristics from those of the younger mineralization are a justifiable anticipation. It is. however, to be noted that there are a number el' tlie younger Jura- ...... Cretaceous quartz veins/ :n Cariboo larger at depth than was anticipated Five Cents LAUNCHES PROGRAM FOR �2,000,000,000 RELIEF Washington, March 21�pres:d.ent Roosevelt has launched his programme which involves the ultimate expenditure of $2,000,000,000 for relief. The first part of it which calls for the creation of a non-military forestry organization which will furnish 250.000 with employment for one year was sent to congress today and within an hour after its receipt arrangements had been made for the mtrodctipn of the necessary legislation in both branches It is said the bill w:ll be rer>dy for the president's s-ignature by the first of April! The men employed will, be found by the state and will be paid at the rate of $30 per month, the same wage as was paid for military .service durng the world war. President Roosevelt says the plan will constitute an import-ant step, in reducing the widespread' unemployment although obviously an emergency measure. A public works program forms an important part in the. rest of the relief measures. lnv: anri.(3t another zone in the region of Yanks Peak, near Keithley. of these (1) is by far the most important. It Ls also referred to as the Barker-ville belt and 'n it occurs the property of the Cariboo Gold Quartz Mining Co., LtLd., and its course is marked at in'orvals by many prospects of merit. Sneaking of the development on the Cariboo Gold Quartz Company's property Douglps Lay says the important "cross" or "B" vo:n> have proven much q ri strict, but thissippian veins are confined so fax as known to o strip of country about 3 miles long tn<\ 'ten miles wide, bounded on the Muth by Carboo Lake and trending to the latter. Both Barkerville and Stanley' are situated within thLs strip, the former being clo"e to the northeastern boundary, and the latter close-to the south-western boundary. The veins of these two different aces �illustrate very markedly the interde-pendance of lode-gold and placer deposits, which has not been obscured by gladation. Thus while valuable placer deposits originated from the younger �y'n.-. th? richest placer deposits of the from surface inspection. The heavy siilphide mineralization in the veins is referred to.

It shows the debt of the government was increased by $156,122,000 during the year when government operations and C.N.R. deficits had been provided for. The deficit on ordinary account was given at $53,608,000 and the' ordinary revenue for the past year at $364,425,000. The debt of the dominion as at March 31st will be ap-prbimately $2,599,089,000. As forecast there is to be no increase in the sales tax which remains at 6';. Even at this figure the point of diminishing return has been pneorn- ritaie Suspends t Withdrawal of Ambassador from j Wells Gray Will Move Amend- Moscow Contemplated to Protest Arrests vment Regretting Th?^ Have Not Been Well Treated SOVIET VERY DEFIANT i COMPROMISE EXPECTED Resents Any Intervention from ' City Members Would Otherwise Britain With Soviet in the Sabotage Cases be Placed- in Difficult Place in Rejecting the Motion London, Mar. 21�The British, gov-j Victoria, Mar. 20�The municipalities ernment has broken off negotiations i of the province writ'stage an emphatic with Russia for a new trade agree- ; protest against the government's a.otion ment. and there is a probability the British ambassador at Moscow will be withdrawn as the result of the attitude of the government of Russia in connection with the arrest of a number cf British subjects on charges of sabotage. Tlie incident may have far-reaching effect. � Nearly six months ago the British government gave notice of the termination of the ex'st-ing trade treaty with Russia, but entered into negotiations for a new agreement to become effective on April 16th on the lapse of the existing agreement. It was tlvs trade agreement with Russia which stood in the way of implementing to the full the trade agreement arrived at with Canada at the Ottawa conference, especially with-" respect to the entrance of Canadian lumber into the British market. If no agreement is entered in cutting the financial assistance heretofore extended to them. The fight will come on an amendment made to the budget by Wells Gray, Liberal member for New Westminster. Mr. Gray is also mayor of New West-nvnstcr, and ho plajs an active part in the organization of t:ie Union oi B. C. Municipalities. Not only has the government announced cutting off the participation of the miuvc'palities in � he government liquor profits and the pari-mutuel receipts, but the finance minister has given notice the government's contribution to unemployment relief in the municipalities may be reduced. The Wells amendment is virtually a want-of-confidence motion in the government and wi'l doubtless be defeated, but there is a prospect it ,will draw an expression of willingness on the . g into with Russia the Canadian lumber \ part of the government to modify its titd i may get a strong footing in the British markets. The prospect for an om- present attitude toward the municipal- ities. The resolution recites the lack pp bargo on Russian imports, or at least of proper coins'deration by the govern- id t f th fiil bl an equalizing duty, has improved greatly. London, Mar. 18�The answer of ment of the financial problems con- fronting the municipalities. It is therefore wide enough to permit the Foreign Minister Litvinoff to the de- discussipn of the government's action mand of the British government for j 'en. retaining the sum of $640,000 in the release of the British subjects arrested 'n Moscow on charges* of sab-otage is defiant. The soviety reply is t'hat no pressure or menace from Great Britain will influence the soviet action. Conviction on the part of the Brit/.sh government as to the inno-cence of the men under arrest is not regarded material and the soviet de- h liquor profits which .ordinarily would have been divided among the munici- palities. Without regard to the am- endment's fate in the legislature the opinion is general the government in deciding to withhold the Vquor profits has net treated the municipalities fair- ly. It is generally conceded the gov- ernment is seeking to buttress tne aftiiat-tests'by the min*3 department tered.J The chief change in the sales ta>< will be the including for the full n.t Ottawa, 80 per cent of gold values is not only '."free" but "free milling" in the case of the ores of the Cariboo Gold Quartz Co. Prom the milling standpoint, the eras of the area seem li^lv to p-ove r. nd'ly amenable to cyanidation. anc? a distinctly favorable feature is the fact that owing to the stress to which the quartz has been subjected, it Ls very r.Tc.rv crushed. MacDonald Wins Personal Fight for World Peace Secures Agreement of Italy and France to Plan to Limit Standing Armies Paris, Mar. 21�Ramsay MacDonald, we British premier is making great P"ogre/G in" his individual effort to save the disarmament conference from complete collapse. Back Irom his con-r^encp .with Premier Mussbl'ni, in Rome, Premier MacDonald and his foreign minister Sir John Simon hold an all-day conference at me British with sentati of the government, and iast night'the t was issued the French gov-^Jnent had d^e'dsd to get nVo line n the tentative agreement arrived at �ri Italy. All that remains now to the peace or Europe is the se- of the adhesttn of Germany to a�reemenfc for the reduction in . but this is regarded as likely the MacDonald formula will Permitted Germany under the of the Versailles treaty. It is r suggested that with Great I gg Italy I Will be Permitted to Double the Military Strength Provided in Versailles Treaty tho government of the United States has not as yet been brought in*o the formative agreement on arms limitation Premier MacDonald says he is confident of � receiving the complete co-operation of the United States. The MacDonald plan would limit navies, armies, air force?, tanks and j $2000 of taxable? income was 2%, in-weapons. It would provide a holiday | creating to 3'' for amounts in excess 6r; most of th merly were exempted vailing tax. Tlie income tax on corporations is advai ced to \2\l�c/c and the exemption previously allowed is st.uck cut. Personal income taxation \s increas d by lowering the exemptions and increasing the rate. In the case of married taxpayers the first , exemption of $2400. is reduced to j $2000, and in the case- of unmarried taxpayers the first; exemption of $1200 ! is cut to $1000. The further e'xemp- | j Lion of $500 for each dependent clrld j |'is reduced to $400. Tho tax on per-i jonal incomes will start with 3', on j | the first $1000. There is to bo a tax . of 2 cents per -pound en sugar, but | there will be no tax on tea or coffee. ; There are new or increased taxes on toilet preparations, cigarette papers. | nd cigarette tubes. The response to j [-tlie pressure applied by the brewing) interests to hamper the production of | home-brew may be. seen in the stiff tax to be applied on ingredients. The ; increase in the personal income taxa- j ton is designed to overtake a very heavy slump experienced during the "few months in income tax reve-Heretc-fore the rate on the first clines to consider it. The fotir British shaky condition of provincial finance subjects will be afforded a public trial at the expense of the municipalities. There is not the same opposition taken to the withholding of the'municipalities shares in pari-mutuel revenues. The amount involved Ls much within one month. The British subjects who will be tried.are L.!C Thornton, chief erecting engineer: W. H. Macdonald. engineer; e articles which for- named Gregory. Two other British of- not so strong a claim for a shar> ipted 50 ff of the pre- flcials of the company also were ar- j them as it has with respect to d h i th li fit rested ;n raids on their residences and company offices on Saturday, but were released Tuesday. Thes-e were Alan Monkhouse. director of the company, and Charles Nordwell. Thirty-five Russians, employed by the Metropolitan-Vickers company, are a!?o under arrest. The sabotage is charged in connection with, the monster Dnie-prostroi electrical development. pa IV IP John Cushney, engineer and a fitter smaller, and the municipalities have share of the share in the liquor profits. With respect to the intimation "of Hon. J. W. Jones that the government's participation in the 'cost of unemployment relief in the municipalities will be reduced it looks as if the finance minister lias got away from his text. The provincial government has not ,the deciding voice in Uie matter of unemployment relief. The federal government admittedly has a greater voice in unemployment relief. Tlie ar-rongement hzs boon for the federal and provincial governments to divide the co^t of relief for the unmanned parsers unemployed, and to split the cost three ways with lh-3 municipalities in relief disbursement in eases charg-able to the municipalities. It :s con-t.endei the provincial government has" nfot the power to vary this arrangement without the approval of the fed-eralvgovcrnmcnv, and the.-? is said to be slight prospect that the federal government will consent to the province shifting any part of 'ts one-third for such, relief upon the municipalities. The municipalities will also resist to the utmost any re-clarsification of the unemployed which will increase' the number to be considered as charges REICHSTAG FAVORS GRANTING HITLER DICTATOR POWERS Legislation to This Effect Gets First and Second Reading, At Opening Session Berlin, Mar. 21�The reichstag was opened today at Potsdam, in Prussia, swing to the destruction of the reich-;tag building here.
