At different times ¢ $i In different hands attempts have operate. the deposits of {rom, iron pyrites, and lead which are contain- ed in the rocks in Leeds county. It is not generally knqwn that the first iron furnace set up in the province was erected about 1800 at Lyndhurst (then Furnace Falls) by ¥ company composed of Ephraim Jones, Danfel Sherwood, Samuel Barlow and Wal- lace Sutherland. The ore, obtained in the township of Bastard, was of an inferior quality and after two years the enterprise was abandoned. Greater success attended the develop- ment of a group of iron pyrites pro- perties situated in the township of Elizabethtown net far from the town of Brockville. Ome of these deposits was opened before 1863 and was ac- tively mined from 1868 to 1879, when work had to be abandoned on account of water and unsafe shafts. In 1869 a sulphuric acid plant was built near the property and this was operated, with more or less success, until 1884. Another property, known aa the Sloan prospect, lies pearby and was developed by a Buffalo con- cern, while a third pyrite deposit, near Yonge Mills, was, worked for some months, the ore being shipped on scows. In the township of Hs- cott copper deposits were worked in the fifties, sixties and seventies. An English concern opened a plant at Long Point for the mining and treat- ment of lead, while the Chaffey iron mine in South-Crosby and the Mat- thews iron 'in North Crosby were both at time active ship- pers, the ore being con by to Pittsburgh. Many of the rocks to be found in the county dre of the same age as those of the Cobalt region of North- ern Ontario with its now famous de- posits of nickel, cobalt and silver. It is possible that if they were thor- oughly {investigated something of value might be discovered. The state {of the market for some of the min- | erals concerned might justify greater attention being devoted to the rocks of Leeds than they have received. If some person does not "spill the beans," Kingston will get through with a record week in Po- lice Count circles. For the fourth {| day this week theré was no session of the Police Court on Thursday {if | morning. A -------------- "Face Powders" at Gibson's.

Sharbot Lake, June 17--Two Am- erican tourists, Mr. Neil Frerick and Mr. Russell Sanderson of Cleveland, # tion -in "Villa Foreze" one of R. F. Allens' cottage at Sharbot Lake, were successful after a battle lasting more than half an hour in landing the prize salmon of the season. The men were trolling using about one hundred and seventy-five feet 6f cop- per line and a bass-oreno, when one of the lines had a strike. Then the battle royal began, which was a test of skill and muscle, but at last after a struggle the big fellow was landed. The salmon measured thirty-four inches in length and twenty-four in- ches in girth, weighed after neing out of the water several hours twenty pounds. This is by far the largest salmon caught in Sharbot Lake for some years though salmon of A8n or twelve pounds are com- mon. Needless to say Mr. Frederick and Mr. Sanderson were delighted with their catch and will have a fine story to tell when they return 'to Cleve- land. WEDDINGS. Kemp--Campbell.
