EDITORIAL COMMENT Mr. Bell, e>litor of ttie Mining Bevidw, railtcr tliDwa cold water on the B. C. milling boom. In an inter- view lie said the whole country would bo Sony for it sooieday, and clain<ed that only two new^papcro had not lost their heads over It. It would be in- tureniing to know how many uieu outside the newspaper profesRioii have lost their pocketbooks as well an . their heads over it. Sir Ollie Mowat is huiitiug in the same forcut that hM hunted in while in the Ontario Lr^'isluture He will again place his ca.^e before tlie Privy Couucil. On ihie occasion be wishes to know the exact duties and pre- rogatives of the Doramiou and Provincial governments with regard to the iisheiies. Tliis has been a matter of dispute, and the laws have clashed iu more than one instance. For iuatanco, at <»ne time the Dominion Goverument Buid we could catch brook trout after the first of April ; the provincial season did not open until the iii'st of May. Of course every- body tislied under the Dominion Act It Oiuy be just as well to have this important question settled righ.t away, ap the item of licenses is becoming veil worth disputing for. liitely nothing is known of Ibein b«- yoiid the fact that they nie icebound and cuntsi'i aeiivs volcanoa. It is Ihonghtquiio possible thai native ant- arctic races may be discovered there, and •videnoe? that, there is siiincilliing of the kind it is believed haverece'.itly been found There havt been i<everal exjieditiuiis to these seas, but all su3h were by vessel alone and the interior lias never been viMted. The last im- poitaiit ezpediiiiiii was made in 184<i, and lioilung important liab been ailded to our kiiuwledg3 o( these regions since that tinie. It is to be hoped ilie proposed expt-dition will be iitiid our, as iniicli knowledge of interest and value to the world would no doubt re- sult therefrom. Arteniesia l^wuncil The new County Council will meet on Jan. liO. This meeting will be watclu-d with interest, being, as it is, a matter of experiment. There have bien prophecies that the new order of tLiiigN will mtet with failure and re- sult unsatipfactoiiiy. It can, however, gca''cely be so unKalisfuctory as was the old system, and one year's trial will discover any defects therein, when these can be leiUL-ditd. Speaking of this cliMige. wi- are led to note that iu township councils the positions of second and third deputy reeves are pow highly ornamental. A first dep uty IS a ncces.sity, more is unnecessary, but roauing the lu.w as it now stands one would be aliuosl led to susix-ct that the Duiclinian was correct in his iuiorpretalion when he said, "Enoot -tsii enoof, hut too mooch is shoost right." P.)a^ibly, for the preaont year tX least, too roiicli is just light. A new exi>eduiin) to the antarctic rcgiuuK IB now pioi;ose(l, by which important rtsnlta are expected for science and ootiiiuerce. The.se south- am legions aio comparatively un- known through vniioiis causes, prin- oipa ly (hat the clininlc is niiioh tnore •evere than the arcliu, but also from the fact that the aiciic has been mors Accessible and has better bases of gupD^y. The south polar rcgious lie far from any coniincnt. While ex- plorers have reached 84 degress north latitude, only 71 south has been reached, »iid no tniarctin lands have been (xploied,. although such are known to exist.
