W. D. FRASER West 93L h)AY HAS 6IUCH SUNSHINF, There were 254 hours and twelve minutes of the brightest sunshine in Msy, almost a day better than the average for the month here, according to the weather summary of Meteorolo- gist E. B. Shearman. In other meteorological re- spects, Msy came very near to being a perfect average month. The mean temeperature was 64.4 degrees, which coincides to the decimal point to the average re- ported over a twenty-three year period. The rainfall amounted to 2.86 inches, as compared with the usual 2.67 inches. The total precipitation since January now amounts to 23.08 inches and the deficiency from the average for the year to date is only 1.33 inches. This repre- sents a much improved situation in respect to rainfall than existed 8 year ago at this time. The highest temperature of the month was 72 degrees, re- ported on hiuy 10, the lowest 34 on Msy 4. B. C. MUSICAL FESTIVAI. The eighth B.

The festival is this year bigger than ever, there being approximately 11,- 000 competitors, and the pro- grams In the various lines of musical endeavor promise to be the most interesting ever pre- sented to the music lovers of Greater Vancouver. This week and next will be busy ones for West Vancouver entrants. A number of local competitors are taking part, while the West Van- couver Ladies Choir, the Dundar. ave Ladies Choir and the )Vest Vancouver Choral Society will, as usual, be heard in the compe- titions. ~ W.

Mineral Production in 1929 Establishes New High Record Increased Output and Record Dividends Shown Outlook for 1930 Reasonably Promising dollars greater than in the pre- ceding year . The coal production for the year is valued at 311,256,260, ss compared with 312,633,150 in 1928, 8 decrease of 31,376,890, or 10.9 per cent. The decrease wes general in all districts in the Province. The decline in coal- output does not indicate 8 lessen- ed fuel-consumption in the Province, but shows the further inroads being made in the Pro- vincial coal industry by imported fuel-oil and imported coal, the latter particularly from Alberta. The output of zinc in 1929 was 172,096,841 lbs., valued at 89r 268,792, which compares with 181,763,147 lbs., valued at 89r 984,613 in 1928. It was expected that a record output of zinc would be made in 1929, but cur- tailment of mining operations at some properties and the storage of zinc concentrates by others in the last two months of the year reduced the estimated figure con- siderably. There are large re- serves of zinc ore in the Province but a decided improvement in the price of zine metal will be required to stimulate increased production. The production of lode gold in 1929 amounted to 33,004,419 as compared with 83,888,097 in 1928, a decrease of 22.7 per cent. The decrease was mainly caused by 8 lower production from the "Premier." Placer gold output also de- creased, the value being recorded at 3118,711, as compared with 3143,208 in 1928--8 decline of 17.1 per cent. Structural materials produced Mining Operations for Year Re- viewed in hlinister'8 Report. In announcing the release of his Annual Report for 1929, Hon. W. A. McKenzie, Minister of hIines, draws attention to the satisfactory record of continued expansion in the mining industry of the Province. The year was characterized by a new high rec- ord for the gross valuation of metals and minerals produced- the figure being 868,245,443, or nearly 33,000,000 higher than in 1928. This increased production was accompanied by widespread development, and exploration and prospecting were vigorously carried on in many areas. A record figure of 313,743,308 was paid out in dividends by the mining companies of the Prov- ince. The Annual Report of the Min- ister of Mines is a complete rec- ord of mining operations in the Province. It contains detailed statistical figures and exhaustive reports by the Resident Engin- eers and Mine Inspectors; and is compiled by John D. Galloway, Provincial Mineralogist. Until the last two months of the year, metal and mineral pro- duction was at a slightly higher rate, in the aggregate, than in 1928, but curtailment in Novem- ber and December resulted in de- creased yearly outputs in some of the products of the industry. The explanation of the higher valuation is largely due to the much higher price of copper metal during 1929 and also 0 slightly higher average price of lead. The tonnage of metalliferous ores mined in the Province dur- ing the year was 6,977,681 tons, as compared with 6,241,310 tons in 1928, an increase of 11.8 per cent. By value, the various products of the mineral industry produced in 1929 are ranked in the fol- lowing order: Copper, lead, coal, zinc, silver, structural materials, gold, miscellaneous metals and minerals. The quantity of cOpper pro- duced was 101,483,857 lbs. which is a new high record and the first time that the output has been in excess of 100,000,000 lbs.; the valuation at 818,375,682 is also 8 record figure. The output of lead in 1929 was 302,346,268 lbs., or only slightly less than in 1928. Owing to 8 higher market price for kad, the value was more than a million 193$ Dexcriptlos Quantity Gold, placer ............. ox. 8,431 Gold, lode ................ ox. 188,087 Silver ................. ox. 10,837,187 Copper ......... lbs. 97,905206 Lead,........................ lbs. $05,(40,793 Zinc ..........,................... lbs. 181,76$.147 Coal, tons, 2240 lb........... $ ,526,'103 Structural Materials ..........., Miscellaneous btaterls(x ssd SHners(x.................. Prospecting was active and some notably important new dis- coveries were made, particularly the "Manville" group in the Tsku River section. While doubts are now freely expressed regarding mining be- cause of low metal prices closing down some producing mines, the Minister points out that the main operations of the Province sre proceeding as usual, that pros- pecting scouting and develop- ment will be active In the 1930 season and there is much that ls Your Marcel Will stay In if you wear the latest bathing cap.

This shows clearly that building activities continued to increase throughout the Province. The larger part of the output of ~ structural materials is made in the Western District (Southern Coast) and the principal market h ls in the Coast cities. The output of miscellaneous metals and minerals continued to show in 1929 the rapid growth that has characterized this branch of the industry in recent years. A value of 81,773,845 was recorded for 1929, as compared with 8905,354 in 1928 and 3459r 514 in 1927. The output has therefore been approximately doubled in each of the last two years. Continued expansion of this branch of the industry may be expected, as there are many deposits of such materials that will gradually be utihzed m Provincial industrices. The outlook for 1930 is that probable declines in the produc- tion of silver, zinc, and coal will be compensated by larger out- puts of other materials and min- erals--at least in part. With present conditions, however, it ls not to be expected that 1930 will set 8 new record for production, I but an output close to that of recent years should easily be at- tained.
