Because oi the unemployment situation and the rise in value 0! gold, many men have staked out all available ground, and in some cues have installed elaborate equipment with which to coax the yellow gold irom its hiding place.

Rockers, sluice boxes, Long Toms and modern gold machines are B common sight along French creek, Potato Ciillcb and Bear _Oreek.

Miners claim that they are mak- ing good wages. Henry Raver, whose dairy farm supplied Presi- dent Ooilldne with milk while he was at the state lodge, round placer mining more proﬁtable than dniry ruining.

Canadian Cattle In Scotland

Canadian cattle to the number oi 401 head, says the Commercial Intelligence Journal, were landed in Glasgow on July 20 and auc- tioned at Merklands wharf, writes 0,. B. Johnson, Canadian Trade Commissioner in Glasgow, in the iorthcoming issue oi’ the Commer- cial Intelligence‘ Journal. 0i this number 388 were classiﬁed as stock- ers or stores, and the average price obtained for a random lot oi 60 steers was 2 pounds, 9 shillings, 5 pence per live hundredweight, or 10.5 cents a pound. This is a good average index oi the prices realiz- ed, which were considerably higher than those ior the last lot arriving in Glasgow in April The qual- ity of the cattle was outstanding. and it seems that the exporters have nothing to learn ii this lot is a sample oi what Canada can ship. The coarse-boned and "led- gy" ieatures formerly characteris- tic oi Canadian shipments were not in evidence.
