WEALTH OF

MINERAL SANADA.

The Pall Mail Gazette has a special re- presentative Investigating the mines of Canada with a view to determining their

th as an investment for British cap ital. This special correspondent bas al- realy contributed some interesting artic-

les dealing with the subj-ct maiter of his

nqgairy. He thinks that Canada’s portunity as a mineral A'tent'en has suddenly and emphatically been called to her wealth by tbe golden stories from the ho idyke, and be thinks

that if Eng!

casion it is vot

op-

conatry bas come.

ish investors rise io the wc-

improbable that nthe near future a “Beever Meadow”’ outrival the Kaffir Circus on the l.oadon

exchange. But the Klondyke,with its great

may

wealth, he points out, has its diswivan-

tages as well as its advantages. Tnere are ot er gold field: presides the Kioolyke, however, and he thinks that the Klon- dyke will serve a most useful purpose if at-

and

these

us riches have tue effect of calling

tention to the gold fields of Kootenay Northwest Ontario. Speaking of ld fields the correspondents says :—

“Ii is toward these two districts that the eyes of the Canadiaus are turned, and it is on them that the hopes for Canada’s future as a gold mining country are bas- ed They are fields which are accessible, permanent, and of proved value, and which the Kuglish public would do well to vive attention to as the couctry for l-gitimate and spiendid!y paying imvest- ment.

“Of these two district? the Kootenay is fairly well known, as it is situated in British Columbia, where many English companies are iaterested. The gulu fields of Ontario, the most central of all Can- ada’s provine §, are On the other hand,a new discovery. They extend along the north ebore of Lake Superior tothe boundary of Manitoba, almost 660 miles, and have a width of 130 miles, thus forming a vast parallelogram of, ruuchiv, 7,00@ square mil +. Like the Klondyke, it is a country wuich, by the work of Providence and ef man, lies just within British territory.

“For some years past wonderful specimens of gold have been found in various; parts of this great tract of country, and Indians and settlers have brought in tales of its richness; but uatil the summer of 1896 no active operations were begun, Prospectors swarmed into the district in the spring of that year, and many com- panies were formed to work, and as a sesuit there are now twelve wills inst@led and 145 stamps in operatiou. Thia is, of course, smal/. but it is the commencement ef a boom which is bouad to reach London. In 1896 these mille treated 10,000 tons of ore, Which showed au average of nearly $:5 per ton— nearly all of this ore being from the surface and therefure being of a comparatively poor quality.

“It is doubtful whetker any other gold region in the world surpasses North- Western Ontario for the prosecution of the gold mining industry. In the firet place the ore is free milling to the greatest extent, and therefure can be easily and cheaply worked, with a quick return for a smalleutlay of capital. The gold is found scattered throughout the quartz by itself,or in combination with sulphur only, the removal of which is not nearly so difficult a process as the separation of gold, silver, copper and lead when all are found i in a conglomerate mass. In faci the cre is free milling to such an extent that 80 or 9@ per cent. of the gold may be secured under thestamps, and con+equent- ly no great smelting plant is required to treat the metal.

“The second advantage is the abundance ef water supply for power and other purposes; the whole area of the gold fields being a network of rivers, streams, and Jakes. In consequence of this fact the need for railway and roads is not nearly 30 imperative as it would otherwise be, and even the mcs: remote part of the res gion is not morethan forty miles from railway or steambvat. In the last place, there ia an unlimited supply of timber, suitable for every purpose of the miner, above and below ground, for suppports, buildings, ami fuel.

“The dietrict 1s past the experimental stage; it has been proved. In the Lake of the Woods section is a mine, known as Sultana island, which is typical of many moreto come. Last year a chiorination plant was added to a ten-stamp mill, and since then the mine has been working n'gbtand day. The shaft of the vein now being worked is down 359 feet, with 1,600 feet of drifting, and the vein hee growao richer and larger as greater depths are reached. It varies trom 35 feet to 50 feet

in width. The output of bullion is $3,000 weekly, and there is over $1,900,000 worth f ore actually in si: gut. Another typical! vrty is the Mikado mine, owned in

shal vt parties who purchased on sur-

ace Indications, A m test of 140 tons

S property gave almo tt $.9,000 ip

» and sixteen days work, ending Sep-

ember lst, gave a gold brick worth $16,- 000. Further to the east of the properties

there has been discovered by an Indian and

one James Hammon',u tremendous reef three miles long and 760 feet wide at its widest part. When test d this vast body Yt Ore showed S17 per icn in free gold, besides concentrates.

“Further eastward still, in the great parelielogram, is the Michipicotea, which if fond hopes are realized will prove a | second Klondyke. News of r ch placer and quartz discoveries was brought duwa frem ibe district last week, and a rush of

Americans and Cana*ians has taken place, A hundred years ago the Hudson Bry Compaay’s report mentioned the fact that gold existed in the sands of the streams there, but the country wae then so difficult of acce-s that no effort was made to get at the deposits. Now, however, the railway takes the prospector within a few miles of Lake Wa-Wa where the richest discoveries

have been made, and as it is a fine ly wood

ed country, possessing a moderate climate, ney are no hard: hb: - such as are met

th in the Yukon. Tests of the quartz sé ae es have run very high, and should the report of placers prove true, the boom

of Michip'cuten will drewn that of Kion dy ke.

“Numerous and rich az the discoveries already made undoubtedly are the district is 80 vastin extent, and has been so recently opened up, that it has only been partially prospected. So far the exploration has been confined tothe watercourses, and the great a of the country inland, so to speak, has pot even been run over by prospectors. More than this there is no reason for supposing that the gold discovery will be confined to even the great district indicated; for the country rock, which is Huronian and Laurentian, extends over a far wider , section of territory. It may be asserted with truth that the goid discovery in the district has only just begun; but it may be slo asserted, with even more truth, that the wily work of promotion is well advanced. Honest promotion is a useful and necessary work; but, in a care like this, where there is much that is genuine ard good, the di-- honest promoter gets in his work. It therefore behooves intendiug English investors to be cautious. Let them have personal knowledge of properties offered, or, at the least, let them have a reliable engineer’s report before investing one shilling.”

NOTES AND COMMENTS

-—Montreal Gazette: Advices from Eng- iand say a difference of ten shillings a barrel was noted between the prices realized for Canadian apples shipped in cold stor- age ard those carried as ordinary freight. Botb shipments were of the sane fruit and packing. The sermon from tnat text is plain for all to understand.

— Halifax Herald: Mr. Blair is bo sked, according to the St, Johan Glote, fr “a non-political dinner’* ip St. Jobn, “pro bably on Oct. llth.” We presume “a non-political dinner” is one in which there is no politics injthe viauds,tu any quantity in the speeches. Halifax has bad a reent

experience of one of these alleged nea- political functions, and knows how hey

are worked.

— St. John Sun: Ther? is a good dea) of amusement in Montreal shipping circles over a vad break made by the premier when he spoke in that city the other dave Sir Wilfrid Laurier said that nive-tenths of the exports of Canada to Europe went by way of United States ports. Instead of nine-tenths the share captured by the United States is from one-third to two- fifths. lt was a mistake that probably not three other members of parliament could have made,

—The man who is elected mayor of Greater New York will have the appoint- ment of more than 60 officials having sal- aries of $5,000 or over, acd ranging up to $15,000. It is said that the civil list of the new city will contain the names of 25,000 officers, with salaries aggregating 9,000,000. The Sheriff of the county cf Kings, N. Y., will'receive about $60,000 in fees, the county clerk $75,000, and the the Controler about the same.

FURKSEHARANCE,

THE LiM.kh Ub

A Cheek Adminis'‘eredto United States MiJiplom itic Irri ation,

October 9.—The officials of foreign office have commun- Uniied S ambassador, Colonel Jubn Hay, the tical discision that the government of Great Britain must re- fu-e to take part ip any sealing conference with representatives of Russia and Japan. The Briti-h government asrerts its will- ingness to confer with United States

alone but insists that Russia and Japan are vot interested in the Bei ring Sea seals to a degre? eatitling them lo representation at the conferevce. The British govern

maut does not suggest any date 107 a con- ference » ith the United States,and it is thought probably in London ‘that Great Britain’s withdrawal w Il result in two meeting, one between the United Statee, Russia and Japan, and the other between United States, Great Britain and Canada. It cannot be too strongly reiierated that the withdraw! of Great Britain from tLe Wasbington conference is due to Canada’s insistence and that .7t:! the Canadians olj ected to mecting Russia and Japan, out of tear of being out voted, Great Bri ain fully mtended to enter the conference. But for Colonel Hay’s rep esentations, the first announcement of Great Brit in’s un- willingness to take part in the couference would have been fina', but the United States umbascador so plainly pointed out the unusual character of Great Britain’s chanze of mind at su latea day that the foreigu ofiicers deciied to re-open the question and have been endeavering ‘9 secure Caned.’s acqriescen e. bit un- successfully. Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British ambassador to the United States also used his iutlzence in a spirit of great friendliness to the United States, in efforts to secure the adherence of Grest Britasa to the origina! programme. The diplomats here consider that Great Prita'n’s course war not conrie ‘us to Russia and Japan. Experts who have been investigating the suies of seal-ekins in London in order to obtain evidence for the use of the United States at the conference, bave proof that eighty per cent of the skins sold Ly Cana- dian companies are those of female seals, and tbat most of the auimals were shot.
