RICH GOLD DISCOVE RE5 IN MANITOBA Sufficient to Pay National Debt of Canada Several Times Over, is Opinion of Experts. LOTS OF SUO\R IHKRE. There is no scarcity of sugar in the harbor of Montreal, the Cana- dian Warrior, one of tlie vessels of the Canadian Government merchant marine, having arrived there from the West Indies with 21,000 bags of raw sugar. The picture show^ the sugar being transported to the refin- eries. Another cargo of 22,000 bags will soon arrive on the Canadian Recrurt. BULGARIA MUST e.R.H. MADE PAY $450,003,000 m INDIAN CHIEF ATLAMC TRAm BACK IN UNITED STATES Expected That End of October Will See Close of Military Monopoly. A despatch from* Montreal says: â€" Indications point to an early ending of the requisition of passenger space for Government requirements on both the Canadian and American routes, and from British ports. A circular received at tile White Star oilices advises that third-class bookings could now be accepted on the steamers Laphind and Adriatic, sail- ing from Southampton to New York, beginning with the sailing of the Lap- land from Southampton, Sept. 16th. This is taken as the beginning of the end of war activities, and will open the way to the resumption of normal ocean travel. It was stated that the indications are that plenty of space on all lines will soon be available for civilian travel, on both the New York and Canadian lines to British ports. Probably the end of October will see the close of the military monopoly of passenger service, which has caused so much dislocation during the past five years. « CANADIAN AMBULANCES OVERSEAS BEING SOLD A despatch from London says: â€" The Canadian Red Cross Society will cease to exist as an overseas organiza- tion in a few moore weeks. The Cana- dian ambulanices, which ,it was first! proposed to I'eturn to Canada for presentation to various hospitals, were found to have done such long service in France that it was consider- ed advisable to dispose of them here, and this is being done. Like other mili- tary stores, they have realiized good prices. Colonel Braylock, head of the Cana-' dian Red Cross, will shortly retire to private life and remain in England, while Lady Drummond will return to Montreal at the end of the month. Decline of 10 to 15 Per vent. Fol- lows Government Investigation. A despatch from Washington says: â€" Reports to the Department of Jus- tice from twelve states indicate that there has been a decline of 10 to 15 per cent, in food prices since the time the fair price fommissions began their vork. from four states have come re- ports on wholesale prices indicating a decline of two to five per cent. Vir- tually no reductions In clothing prices have been noted. The reports on retail food prices were said to have been from cities and counties well distributed through- out the country, and the information Is believed by officials here to be a fair indication of what is going on everywhere. They think that results now becoming evident will be cumu- lative as the season advances, new declines in wholesale prices being re- flected In retail prices and additional reductions coming from the campaign against hoarding and profiteering. COMPLETES CASE FOR PROSECUTION OF EX-KAISER A despatch from London saya: â€" The .\ttoruey-GeneraI, Sir Gordon Hewiat, has completed the case for the prosecution of the former German Emperor, lucording to the .Mirror. The place of the trial has not yet been set- Ued. A GERMAN CRUISER TO PUT TO SEA A despatch from Berlin says: â€" A Kiel telegram says that the German cruiser Regensburg is now being fitted out iu the Kiel Imperial docks for a voyage to South America. The vessel is to be ready Monday. Her task Is to take cure that all Ger- man merchant ships Interned in Chile, Argentine, Uruguay and ports of other South American States return to Ger- many as quickly as possible. The message says that negotiations are pending with the Entente on this matter, and that the food supply is to be promoted by this means. RECORD FLIGHT FROM PARIS TO LONDON A desipatch from London says: â€" What ia said to be a record in cross channel flights has been made by J. W. Norcross and Col. Grant Morden. They were m Paris on business and made the return trip to London by air. The time taken was an hour and fifty- five minutes, v.h.ic-h the pilot claims to be a record. On arriving here the 'plane landed near Iverheath, Col. Morden's heme, the arrival being wit- nessed by Mrs. Morden. Under Peace Treaty Terms Army is Reduced to 20,000. A despatch from Paris says: â€" The Temps outlines what it says are the principal military and economic stipu- lations contained in the peace treaty which is to be presented to Bulgaria. Tljese Include abolition of obligatory military service and the maintenance cf a piiJice force which shall not ex- ceed 20,000 men. The Customs offi- cers, gendarmes and police agents will aggregate 10,000. Anns and munitions exceeding the quantity which Bulgaria may retain under the treaty shall be placed at ' points indicated by the Allies. An In- ter-allled commission will supervise , the execution of the military, naval , and aeronautic provisions of the com- pact. I Bulgaria must return all valuable ' objects ;ind documents stolon from the -•Vllies and deliver up to military courts ' of the .Miles persons guilty of acts | contrary to the laws of war. Finally, Bulgaria must pay an In- 1 demnity of 2,250.000,000 francs, which must be turned over within a specified number of years. Stony Tribe Supplies "Big Medi- cine" For the Occasion. A despatch from Banff says: â€" A picturesque escort greeted the Prince of Waies when he reached Banff. The Stony Indians formed up to conduct His Royal Higlmess to the park, where the park commissioner presented the formal address o£ welcome. Then the Stonys entertained their young chief- tain with a typical Indian fete. The formal dignity of their initial greet- ings gave place to special ifances and songs and quaint ceremonies of their race. The Prince of Wales was made a chief of the Stony Indians with pomp and circumstance. The Prince has added a wonderful head-dress to his regalia, and one more royal peroga- tive has been added to his name. Once •igain his personality won the affec- tions of a group of strangers. The Indians are his willing subjects from this hour. Two rich gold strikes, both made within a fortnight, but in widely sepa- rated fields, have started a rush of fortune-hunters to the province of -Manitoba, that recalls the ))eglnning of the stampede for the Klondike*. The first was made by an Indian prospector, Jacob Cook, a few weeks ago at Copper Lake, about sixty miles north of The Pas. TImj sc':ond \a the find of Robert Waclunan, a Chicago salesman, and Gus Larsson, a pros- pector. It is in the Contact bay region in western Ontario, about 200 miles east of Winnipeg. Cook made his find by literally stumbling upon â€" it. While on his way to his cabin al ng tlie shores of Cupper Lake he tripi^pd and fell over a rusty spur of quartz Jutting up from the ground. Impelled by anger more than curiosity, ho struck the spur with his piok and uncovered evi- dence of gold. W'ithin a tew minutes he had opened up a pay streak four inches wide and several feet deep â€" a pay streak that alrady Is colloquial- ly known as "The Golden Sidewalk." Copper Lake is east of Lake Atha- papuskow. In the Cranberry lakes region, and about fifty miles east from the great sulphide mines, Fllnfion, Schist Lake and Mandy, operated by the Guggenheim interests. It is about the center of the great mineral belt that extends from beyond" the eastern boundary of Saskatchewan across the vast stretches of northern Manitoba far into Ontario. Every known metal, from iron to platinum, has been found at various places in that belt aud a dozen or more rich mines are In opera- tion, among which the beat known are at Cobalt, Ont.; Rice Lake, Man.; and The Pas. Subsequent prospecting revealed that tlie width of the large ore body varies from ten to thirty feet and is continuous on the surface for about 1,100 feet. To the southwest and northeast of the main exposure the lode has been uncovered. Taking foi^ granted that the lode is the same and continuous, it would have a length ol two miles. The high-grade gold occui'S In a vein paralleling the maiu ora body at a distance of about 1,200 feel to the southwest. This vein is ex- posed for about 300 feet and consists of a BChisted zone about four feet wide. At the point of discovery the quartz is eighteen Inches wide and from the quartz wall to the gangue cmisists of quartz stringers and sheets of schist. At the bottom of a flve-foot pit the high-grade ore is about six inches wide, while on the surface It was from three to four Inches wide. Assays of the quartz to either side o£ the high grade ore give $10 in gold to the ton. Wachman's was a stroke of good l\-"tuiie that surpassed his fondest ex- pectations. He had come to the wllda of western Ontario to spend a vacation flrh;ng and hunting. By chance he met Larsson, a veteran prospector, \,ho induced him to lay down his fish- pole and gun and take up a pick "for exercise." Wachman had been exer- cising only two days when he strucTc a vein of gold that assayed at a high rate, although its extent bus not been determined. The vastness of the country may be illustrated by the statement^of one ol the old-time prospectors, that it 10,000 prospectors started In different direc- tions from The Pas tliey could be out for months in the mineral belt witliout anyone crossing another's path. Beneath the moss and muskeg of nortliern Manitoba lie riches sufficient to pay the national debt of Canada many times over, is the opinion of Frank Moore, mining expert and pion- eer prospector, of Winnipeg, who staked the Rex and several other mines In the Rice Lake region. The building of the smelter and the construction of railway lines into dis- tricts known to be rich in minerals are matters only of time. MUST SAIL THIS YEAR A despatch from London says: â€" j The Canadian emigration officials are buaJy engaged in soothing the vexed spirits of the Canadian soldiers and their wives, who fondly hoped to spend their Christmas here and remain tilli springtime, but now find themselves] compelled to sail before the end of- the year or sacrifice their free pas- sage. The hardship of mid-wiinter crossing is not denied, but it is poiret- vxi out that but for the Overseas Min- istry's proclamation the process of re- patriation would have been spun out many months longer, to the detrim.ent of the normal emigration business whiich already has been held up long enough. S'jO Tons of German Toys Reach New York From Hamburg | A despatch from New York says: â€" Laden with 350 tons of toys and glass- j ware, the Kc-rr Line steamship Jason arrived hero on Friday from Hamburg w-ith the first cargo shiipment from Germany since the war. The Jason is a supply ship for the Hoover Food -Administration. Seven stowaways, six of them Americans, and one a German, were aboard. j BRITISH WOMEN EAGER TO EMIGRATE Munitionettes Clamoring For Chance to Settle Abroad.
