Full information, together with Mining Reports and Maps, may be obtained gratis by addressing— The Honorable the Minister of Mines, VICTORIA, BRITISH COLUMBIA. , < 1' ! ol.'.ii'.i .,(.! thj British yovcriiinc:il i.r hailed y ail liiL' world, as a happy ciiciing o a century-old strpggic between lnglnnd inid Ireland and which luis 'icon a disturbing clement in the world peace for generations... The conservative counsel on both I sides was responsible for negotiating1 this settlement, which promises not only to hring jieace and happiness to I ho Emerald Isle but will also open (lie way for a more friendly relationship between the United States and Great Britain. In addition.- it will have the much larger effect of bringing" peace a step nearer to"."the ¦ world in general. The settlement as reached by both i | the Irish a fid British representatives will have?to be ratified by the people : of both countries, but there seems no ' i doubt that the men who succeeded in I bringrinp peace to t!he two countries! will be able to have the general public of the countries concerned ratify! the settlement arrived at by them./ The only disturbing elenierit^toMhc j final scene in this age-old drama ap- j pears to be DcValeva.

With the Dominion elections over, political thoughts now turn to the municipal elections to he held next month. Several names have been mentioned as probable starters in the mayoral race, but as yet no names have- been mentioned as candidates for aldermen, police commissioners or school trustees. These positions are just as important as that of mayor, for without capable men f111-injr those public offices we cannot expect to have yood municipal government. Possibly it is rather early yet for II j prospective candidates for aldermen, /etc., to announce their candidature. I and when the Christmas holidays are over there may be no dearth 'of entrants for these honors. However, we think that now is the I time for the citizens who have the best interests of the city at heart and who wish to have competent olli. : cial selected, to give the matter their 'serious consideration ami have the j best men who, in their opinion,-'would serve the city '.-as aldermen, police commissioners or school trustees 'stand as candidates for the > various I '''municipal elective positions. |; If is only by this method that the (.affairs of the city vv-ill be administer- j eel in an efficient manner, and each citizen owes it to himself ami the city to see' that, the best possible adihinis- Itration is elected to'oflice. It has boon suggested, :'..; a means : to {jetting the. be;'" possible camli j dates elected to olUce that a citizens' lleayue be fonvuid and thaC candida-ies for the various oflices receive the en dorsation of the league. If thi? plan were adopted it is claimed that only those candidate's receiving such en j dorsation could be elected, and til city's affairs would be cannldy ad ministered.
