Ten years ago one of the most popular and marketable Native crafts items was the dream catcher.

It is still popular, as evidenced by a Jan. 29-31 workshop at the Alberta Aboriginal Head Start conference in Edmonton.

Forty Canadian Hockey League players were invited to the sixth annual CHL Top Prospects game held Feb. 7 in Calgary.

The Top Prospects Game is a relatively new annual hockey event.

For thousands of years, man has mined the earth for its riches.

Today's mining operations, from huge strip mines involving the

excavation of millions of tonnes of earth to shafts dug kilometres down,

are located in all parts of the globe. Engineers who work to discover,

evaluate, recover and process mineral deposits are called mining

engineers.

The mining engineer develops and applies methods of finding and
