The Corn Duties.

Tne agitation fora repeal of the corn duties wiil be watched with interest by the farmers of this Province. Free corn means shsrp competition in the vat market of Nova Scotia and New Brunswi k. These Provinces have in recent years been the

chief market for P. E. Island cats. The

fact that a fairly good price has been re

ceived for oats is due to the fact that there

bas been a demsnd for them in the neigh boring Provinces. This demand has been sharpened on accounof the restriction placed

upon the impertaticn of United States’ corn by reason of the corn duties. Suppose these duties to be repealed, and a large sur plas of corn to be stored in the States, large quantities of corn w uld, without doubt, be slaughtered in Nova Scotia and

New Brunswick, to the displacement of

P. E. Isiand oats and the consequent

erial reduction of their price. s of Canada will be

mat-

Farmers in all part prejudically affected by a repeal of the corn duties—but particularly the farmers of Prince Edward Islan’, The year before last, the corn-surplus in the States was so large to that some farmers there burned corn for fuel in order to get rid of it. In a year like that, with corn admitted freely into Canada, the price of oats would certainly go down to a point far below that which re- raunerates the farmer for his labor in their production. The repeal of the corn duties will be a good thing for the feeders of horses, fat cattle and pigs in towns and villages of the Upper Provinces, but it will be a bad thing for the farmers of the coun- try at large who grow oats. If the repeal be effected as a result of the Parliamentary agitation begua by Mr. Pope, the farmers and their representatives in Parliament ought to rise up and demand ac »rrespond. ing repeal of duties upon articles which they largely consume-—say the duty upon kerosene oil. The repeal of the kerosene oil duties would relieve an article of general consumption from aheavy tax. The questiuns to be considered are: is it desirable to ruin the petroleum industry of Canada ? and is it desirable to atrike a heavy blow at the oat growers of Canada / and can the Government stand the loss of revenue / and ought not Canada to produce all the food required by those, whose business it is to feed and fatten live stock ? We hope that the Govenment and Parliament will give these questions careful consideration before taking, «tion,

Mr. Palmer's Report

Conripence in Mr. Palmer's report will be somewhat affected by reason of his eccentric conduct in respect to the borings and Senator Howlan. But ** cores’: taken out of the beds a the bottem are in Ottawa, to substantiate Mr. Palmer's asser tiom that *“‘the geological formation is as

the

favorable as it can possibly be for the economical construction of a submarine tunnel.” The pity is that there are noy more of them—that ‘the contract was not completed, »s Mr. Hendry says it might have been. If even three er four ‘“‘cores” had been taken out of the Island side of the Strait,

Sir Douglas Fox would peobably have con- cluded that suffi:ient evidence had been ob- tained to afford a suffisiently sure basis of computation on the pert of engineers and tunnel contractors. But the completion of Mr. Palmer's contract will, under the cir cumstances, probably be required.

oe eee

Concerning the Proposed Tunnel Under the Northumberland Straits, Between New Brunswick and P, BE. Island.

To the Hon. Geo. E. Foster, Minister of Finance for the Dominion of Canada, Ottawa, and Sir Charles Douglas Fox, Consulting Engineer, London : GENTLEMEN,—Having been called upon

tu test the geological formation across the

Straits of Northumberland between the

narrowest points of land as officially sug-

vested in 1886 by the Hon. (now Chief Jus- vce and Acting Lieutenant-Gcvernor) Sul- livan for the proposed tannel to connect

Prince Edward Isiand with the mainland of

New Brunswick, | beg to state that ten bor-

ings varying in depth from 60 feet to 184

feet 84 inches were sunk by means of a

steam diamond drill, and ihe the cores ot

the same preserved in wooden boxes which are cow in the hands of the Government, at the Geological Museum.

It is believed that these these ten bor- ings will prove conclusively the character of the stratum which is to be found on the line of the proposed tunnel.

The pvints of land referred to are Money Point (slightly northwest of the Cape Jouriman lighthouse) in New Bruns- wick, and Carleton Point in Prince Ed- ward Island, which from an engineering snd traffic point of view are well selected.

The azimuth of their aligament is 41.15 degrees east of north and the computed dis- tance between them from shore to shore (or from signal station to station) is 40,716 feet, whiist the tunnel itself, as shown upou diagram Nos. 2 and 3 has total length oi 14,908 yards, or nearly 8} statute miles.

The mid-latitude of the axis of the pro- posed tuanel is 46 degrees, 12 minutes, 39 seconds north—and mid-longtitude of the same 63 degrees, 45 minutes, 26 seconds west of Greenwich.

The length of ARC between Money Point, and Carleton Pvint (having an -zimuth, as previously stated of 41 degrees 15 minutes) computed to 6 minutes 42 seconds, gives us according to Wharton's Hydrograhic Tables, which allow for a compression of 1.294, the afore-mentioned distance of 40716 feet. I may say, we have not had the instruments for more precisely determining this distance, but as soon as work is commenced would suggest the erection of observatories on both headlands connecting the same with the telegraph system of the Duminion, and so establish ing the length of alignment to the frac- tional part of an inch.

Throughout these investigations I have taken as a datum the lowest spring tide level established at Cape Jourimain Light- house, and Cape Tormentine by Mr. Louis Coste, Engineer in Chief of Public Works, sod Mr. Eugene D. Lafleur, Assistant Engineer, who | uaderstaud in taking the tidal gauge fully considered the position of the heavenly bodies really producing the tides, as well asthe other agents affecting the same, such as atmospheric pressure, and temperature; also, direction and vel- ocity of wind at time of readings.

Diagram No. 1 shows the approximate rang of junction of flood tides ia the Northumberland Straits in the vicinity of the proposed tunnel as well as the course of the two branches of the main tidal wave entering the gult between Newfoundland, and Cape Breton, and which advancing from opposite directions, meet as indicated by shaded lines at the same nominal hour, viz: 10 hours full and change, although the western wave from its longer course northwest of the Magdalen Islands, thence southwest, thence southeast over shallower waters, takes 12 hours longer on its journey than the eastern wave.

[he greatest depth, of water along the line of tunnel is 16 fathoms, or 96 feet below lowest springtide, and the soundings indicate a gradual and uniform rise towards both shores.

In diagram No, 2 you will observe a traverse of deepest soundings, two 5 fathom contours, as well as a line of soundings be- tween Capes Traverse and Tormentine re- duced to the same datum.

The favorable position of the Anglo- American submarine cable already connect- ed with the New Brunswick Terminal will also be noticed.

The shores upon either coast are exceed- ingly well adapted for tunnel approaches, and have a mean altitude of about 30 feet. Chey both fall back towards the interior to high water level, and the soil is of a red, clayey nature.

About 5} milesof *overland” or “surface” railway will be required to connect with the existing systems of New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island. As these systems, however, are of the standard 4 ft. 8} in. snd 3 ft. 6 in. gaages respectively, it would be well that whichever guage the tunnel is designed to accommodate, its terminals for purposes of construction should be first connected with the railways on either shore.

In the event of your selecting the stand- ard guage tunnel, suggested in diagram No. 5, having av external dimimeter of 21 feet., and which besides accommoca‘ing the most cspacious rolling stock in the Uaited States and Canada, would render the construction of “manholes” or “sanctuaries” unneces- sary, it might be thought advisable to lay down an “‘overland track” for 12 miles of the standard, or 4 ft. 84 im. guage from Carleton Point to Bedeque and Summer- side.

Upon the same diagram, No. 7, ia shown a direct and tolerably easy route of 30 miles along the south shore of the Island, from Carleton Point to Traverse, Tryon, Crapaud, DeS ible, Cornwall and Charlotte- town, crossing the river at White's Point by means of a combined road and railway bridge.

Referring again to diagram No. 1, the position of the proposed tuonel and its pro- posed connections on both shores will be readily seen, but I would draw your attention to a reute (proposed by Mr. E. T. P. Shewen, C. E., of the Public Works Department) from Moncton to Pugwash, crossing the Sackville and Tormentine railway at Midgic—were this line construct- ed the distance from Moncton to the New

DAILY EXAMINER.

Brunswick terminal of the tunnel would be shortened by at least 20 miles.

Mr. Josiah Wood, M. P., and President of the Sackville and Tormentine Railway has suggested that if electricity is used for the construction of the tunrel, the same power might be used for operating his own and other railways connecting with it. With reference to the grading of the proposed tunnel, 40 feet of cover has been allowed. To economizs cost of con: struction a gradient of 1 in 50 has beea laid down upon the longitudinal section, but from an engineering pointof view, and in order to reduce working expenses 4 lighter ruling gradient should be adopted. If we consider the formation, as proved by the borings, to consist of equal parts of red sandstone and stiff red clay shale the cover of 40 feet referred to, would give a4 roof of impervious material of at least 20 feet.

By using the number of shafts shown on the longitudinal section it is believed that the tunnel may be completed within two years, instead of 6 or 8, if worked from ihe ends alone.

The “‘geo!ogicsl formation throagh which the proposed tunde! is located is what is known asthe upper, or perno-carbunifer- ous, cousisting of red sandstones and stiff red clay shales, in spproximately equa! proportions, the latter being impervious to water.

The base upon which this formation ap- pears to rest is known as the millstone grit portion of the carboniferous, the order of formation being as follows, viz :

“T. Upper or perno-carboniferous. 2. Productive coal measures. 3. Millstone grit. 4 Lower carbon:ferous.

No. 2 or or the productive coal measures are apparently wanting in the vicinity of the Northumberland Straits at this point.

The mill stone grit formation is seen at the surface along the centre of the Tormen- tine peninsula in New Brunswick, and there it dips abour two degrees from the horizon- tal, or one in 25 towards Prince Edward Island, The beds, as indicated by the borings taken, preserve their nearly hori. zontal attitude across the Straits between the coast of New Brunswick and the south shore of Prince Edward Island.

I may ssy that the structure of the great er part of the [sland of Prince Edward, as well as the opposite portion of New Bruns- wick, comes under the head of this upper or perno-carbuniferous formation, whilst the base upon which this formation rests extends from underneath the entire Island across the Straits, and is exposed over a large area of New Brunswick, where it is known as the millstone grit formation as already stated.

Diagram No. 8 shows distinctly the out- line and limit of these two formations which direc'ly concern the project you have under consideration.

An area of the lower carboniferous is shown in Northern Nova Scotia, but this does not concern us any more then the coal, pre-cambrian and dolerite formations appearing in other parts of that province and in New Brunswick.

You will als» observe in dotted lines upon the diagram the six anticlinals, extending about north-easterly, which underlie and divide the waters of the Gulf and Northum- berland Straits into five bruad and shallow synclinals, The position of theee anticlinals was determined by Dr. R. W. Ellis, of the Geological Survey, in 1884, and it is pria- cipally from the report of his investigations of the perno-carboniferous of the Island ard New Brunswick that I have, since 1890, been enabled to declare that this same for- mation which extends under the Northum- berland Straits is entirely suitable for the construction of a submarine tunnel.

With reference to the furmation in the vicinity of the proposed tunnel, Dr. Ells in his report of May, 1884, states :

**At Cape Traverse, which is the por- tion of the Island most nearly connected with the mainland of New Brunswick, the rocks seen there are identical with those seen to extend from Cape Brule to Cape Tormentine already described in report of 1880 81 under the heading of perns-

carboniferous, viz., solt red sand- stones, “with scales of whitish mica interstratified with hard, dark red,

caleareous conglomerate. It ia highly probable that the beds at Cap» Traverse re- present the lower portion o1 the formation brought into view by the extension of the Cape Tormentine anticlinal, the course of which, as shown in New Brunswick would cause it to reach the [sland in this vicinity. ln this case, the waters of Bedi que Bay would, like those of Egmont, occupy a shallow synclinal.”

With regard to the anticlina’s already referred to in Diegram No. 8, De. Elis states that the ‘‘generally horiz ntal pusition of the strata prevents the exact location of these several anticlinals, though the general structure is sufficiently ap- psreat.” He then goes on to say exactly what the borings have proved, sod which may be observed by any one when walking along the ahores of the straits.

‘The difficulty is still further increased by the presence of much false bedding iu the various strata, so that a great seemin diversity of dip is disclosed at many points.”

From Diagram No. 8, it will be seen that the proposed tunnel is located, north 41 degrees 15 minutes, east upon a syacline from Hillsborough Bay to Cape Egmont, Prince Edwazd Island and from Caps Tormentine to Shediac in New Brunswick. Attached to this report are tables which show precisely the number and nature of beds penetrated by the steam diamond drill in each particular boring through the Perni-carboniferous formation, The sum total of these borings amounts to 845 feet 8 inches, distributed over ten holes varying in depth from 60 feet to 184 feet 8 inches. An analysis of these will give a propor- tion in the strata of one part of hard imper- vious clay shale to one part of compact red sandstone, the specific gravity of the former being about 25.92, and that of the latter 22 32.

I might add that the boring operations recently completed for the purpose of mak- ing final investigations, have not only proven the feasibility of the work in ques- tion and the deductions of eminent gzolo- gists concerning the same, but have also demonstrated to the scientific world the novel possibility of being able to test or examine in a most economical manner the geological structure of the earth's surface beneath almost any depth of water, and which heretofore has generally been con- sidered beyond the pale of the practicable.

In the Scientific American of November 26, 1892, is an illustrated article descriptive of

the apparatus designg? by myself for accomplishing this interesting work.

The cores obtained are 1 inch in diameter. They are in charge of Mr. Alfred D. C. Selwyn, C. M. G., Director ot th Geological Survey, and have proved of great interest to all who have examined them. They clearly show change and structare, as weli as dip of beds. The formation across the Straits sppears to be thoroughly impervious to water, and cores of sandstone have shown a-ferfectly diy fracture. However, in borings Nos. 6 and 8, distant 2000 and 3000 yards froin the New B: unswick shore respectively, & slight leakage appears in one or two thin beds of_prown sandstone— after passing through t beds no leakage whatever manifest: d itself.

Six sea, or deep water ‘borings, distaat 590 to 3000 yards from the New Brunswick shore, have been sunk to an ae depth of 60 feet, 64 inches, each slightly to the weatward of the tunnel alignment, Os that same shore,at higk water mark (Money Point} a was sunk 140 feet, 4 inch down te the millstone grit tormation, whilst on ‘the Prince Edward I[s- land shore at high water mark (Carleton Point) the drill penetrated ‘a distance of 184 feet, %} inches; .The inland borings in New Bruoswick and Prince Edward Island were sunk to depthe reg of 60 feet, and 97

feet, 8 inches. ¥ 2 The position KR the sea, or deep water borings, was determined by I-

ation from a traverse run by Mr. W. A, Hendry, 0. E., Gove’ er, who has rendered val rvi¢es in the conduct of these inwettigntioyy- % ol

I would here mention that, whilst the geo- logicl formation is as fevozable as it can poss- ibly be for the economieal construction of a submarine tunnel, [do pot fancy it wil! be prac- ticable to make much use of thé ** Grea head” shield chiefly on account of the false bedding of this upper or. Permo-carbonifecous form- ation, as proved by the ugs, atid indicated by geologis's in maoy reports. “Mr. Joseph Unsworth, C. E, suggested . boriv machinery ee to Bagiieh Channel tunne apparatus, is of opinion that tie exeav- es will stand caned = ithout shoring pre- vious to receiving ite lising.

I have to thank Mr,Collingwood Schreiber, Deputy Miaister, and Chief Engineer of Rail- ways aod Canals, end igthers for much official kindness shown me during the progress of the work bere reported upon. oe

Lecture and Entertainment.

Tue lecture and entertainment given in the Lyceum last evening under the auspices of the Benevolent Irish Society was very well attended. Mr. Peter McCourt, Presi- deut of the Society, presided. The enter- tainivent began witha piano duet by the Misses Murphy, after which the Chairman ann unced that as the views for Mr. Has- law's lecture had not arrived ,thet gentlo- man would be unable to deliver his lecture upon ‘*Cansda and its future,” as adver- tised. Mr. Haslam, he hoped, would be able to favor them with his lecture on the the evening of the 23rd inst. Mr, Haslam then took the platform and explained that the views for his lecture were detained at Pictou on account of the irregular trips of the Stanley, and as these views were a very important feature of his discourse, and many people would like to see them, he did not feel like guing ahead at present. However, be had - arranged with Mr. Fer- guson to make an address on the Northwest in his place, and be felt sure that bis dis- course would be both interesting and instructive. Mr. Ferguson then came for- ward, and for nearly an hour and a half held the undivided attention of his auditors. His discourse was altogether from memory, and was given with an ease and attention to detail that occasioned many compliment- ary remarks. Mr. Ferguson gave a decid- ediy interesting historical sketch of the Northwest, beginning with the period when the Hudson Bay. Company were given absolute “control of the Saskatchewan, Assiniboine, and a vast amount of country east of Hadson Bay. He showed how the Hudson Bay Company contrviled the trade of the country, fixed the prices of almost everything, and for years made money rapidly. Then he spoke of the appearance on the scene of competition in the shape of the Northwest Fur Company and of the war and bloodshed whieh. followed, as a result of which the Hud3on Bay Company was nearly ruined, and the poor people of the country suff-red severely until'the two com- panies amalgamated in 1821. During the period that the Northwest was under the control of the Hudson Bay Company, they did all they could te keep the facts relative

to the great - resources of the country from the outside world. It was not until early in the fifties that light

began to dawn on the people of the outside world concerning the great fertility of the soi). What are now known asthe British C..lumbia gold mines attracted attention to this E Dorado. The British and C.nadian Government sent out explorers to report upon the country, and their reperts were h:ghly favorable. The people of Red River petitioned againsttbe Hudson Bay Company aud asked to be relieved from its, power. Since Canada obtained control of the Northwest the country has been steadily coming to the fréent. Its wonderful re- scurces have made known, Railways have

becn established the country is being repdly. déveloped# Mr; Ferguson also dealt at consi *length with the topography of

out what,portions of it were best wheat-growing, gfazing, etc.

referred to the climate, water supply, roads and other matters. In conclusion he paid a tribute to our own Province. He - he would not advise avy person who was comfortable here to leave home for the Northwest or any place else; but to the young people who had made up their minds to go abroad he would say “Go to the Canadian Northwest by means."" Our little country, from an agricultural point of view, is not & mean country by any means. One will have to travel far before he will find a more fertile country than we have here ora place where the people have more advant :

After some remarks by Hon. David Laird in corroboration of what had been said by Mr. Ferguson, a hearty vote of thanks moved by E. Hackett, Esq , and seconded by Mr. P. F. Doyle, was accord- ed the lecturer. Then followed vocal solos by Miss Trainor and Mr. Bell and a violin solo by Professor Gaudet, with piano ac- companiment by Miss Murphy. Mrs. Peter Doyle wan accompan'st to the soloistr, The preceeding were brought td a clese with the National Anthem.
