Abstract
"The recent publication of two scholarly monographs on the Fraser River mines in the 'Archives of British Columbia' is accordingly of immediate interest to students south of '49. Judge Howay's Early History of the Fraser River Mines (Memoir V.) was given editorial mention in this Quarterly for July, 1926… Memoir No. VII., bearing also a 1926 imprint, has since been distributed. It is a further chapter in the history of the Fraser River mines entitled The Assay Office and the Proposed Mint at New Westminster... Judge Howay's monograph relates to the establishment of law and order, Mr. Reid's to the monetary history of British Columbia following the discovery of gold."
