This Company holds` 5 full mining claims, known as the Telluride Group, vvithin four and a half miles of Cripple Creek City, in the richest Gold Mining District in America. Extending across the property -is a lode, carrying gold in Tellurides, said to be the same as that being worked by the famous Lincoln Mine,` which is only about a mile distant. The ore from this lode can be sold for cash at the Cripple Creek Mills and reduction works, so that expensive machinery is not necessary, and there is good reason for supposing that this Company will be paying dividends before the end of 1897. This is a Home company, with a reliable Banadian Manager at the Mine.

CRIPPLE CREEK is to-day, beyond doubt, the richest ssure vein district in the annals of gold mining. The for- tunes it has distributed among many are small compared to those that will be made in the next tew years. In 1891 therewere less than a dozen producing'mines. To-day there are hundreds. During the rst year the total production was $200,000 Last year it was over nine millions of dollars. The present year it is expected to exceed twelve millions of dollars.

Timber cutters in the Adirondacks and elsewhere in this country are now confront- ed with the unique condition that spruce is ` worth more in the market as material for wood pulp than as lumber. Spruce is the only wood that is in demand at the pulp mill as well as thepsaw mill. The cutting of spruce is stimulated by the increasing de- mand from abroad for American wood pulp, and it is an industry that the farmers of the Dingley Taritf Bill deemed worthy of pro- tection. If Congress passes that bill, a dutv of $1 20 per 1,000 feet will be placed on Canadian spruce. ` -9 7 --___1- I.-. ..-........L.. 2... UH \Jl-lululanuuu Urn slew. A recent calculation, made by experts in , the lumber trade, shows that at least 65 l per cent of all the spruce cut in the forests of this country this year will go to the pulp mill. The competition of Canadian lum- bermen has for a long time been a serious drawback to the prot taking of American timber cutters. consequently the imposition of a sti' duty on Canadian lumber would meet with eager approval in certain quarters. Ex-Governor Russell A. Alaer, of Michigan, has very large lumber interests in Canada. and while in Montreal, a few days ago, he is said to have expressed the belief that the McKinley Administration would favor a conciliatory policy toward Canada. The exportation of American wood pulp to Great Britain, it is said, will probably be largely increased during the coming year, in ' consequence of a proposed advance in the price by Scandinavian manufacturers Form- erly the Scandinavian wood pulp had a mo- nopoly of, the British markets, but the" American product has been making head-` way in that direction steadily for the last `T `T fIV_.-_ } 2: [Chnoda has enough spruce to supply the world for an indenite time, and Tm: AD-V VANCE hereby suggests` to Mr. Hardy for `Ontario; and to the Dominion Government, that this source of wealth should be diapoe-L of slowly and carefully for theubenvet of our people, and not given away for aeong to the Yeokeee or to enyhody else ]_ - ~ Tyne} rmostA1Wljole's/0135; SEic tgy- Pure 1-ea our the Mark;- 5 ' 7-213 *0 5 ~69 %*~- . -.-.... ..,_, nu: wsvsucz. -;D0 they seem like means ?" enquired Helst.
