It was found that the boiler used in the pressing busiâ€" ness had been set upon sement blocks _and these blocks had become heated to such an extent that they set fire to the wood below.

Mr. Stroud wrote the words twentyâ€"five times in a square. of of an inch.

Imporâ€" tant tracts of goldâ€"bearing gravel still exist, and may yet yield substantial results under amalgamation and scienâ€" tifiec treatment.: The Yukon area was entirely eclipsed by the discovery of the Porcupine field in Ontario, in 1909, and the Kirkland Lake field in «the same province in 10912. At preâ€" sent, 'Ontario‘ls contributing over 80 per cent. of the total Canadian gold production, the Porcupine field being by far the most important. The pros: :pects of further gold discoveries are generally believed to be almost~unâ€" Jimited. Confidence is inspired by the fact that about 2,000,000 square miles. of Canadian territory is composed of preâ€"Cambrian rock,. so that prospecâ€" tors have to work on a formation of characteristics and are not. forced to rely on chance discoveries. Moreover, the discoveries so far made in Ontario point to the existence of two, and perhaps three, wellâ€"marked: goldâ€"belts in the Province, running from east to west, the existing fields being‘ situated at the outeroppings, Recent discoveriesâ€"in the Rouyn disâ€" trict have prbjected the southern belt into the adjoining province of Quebec and furthern extensions both westâ€" ward and eastward are expected The remarkable results yielded in recent Despite wide fiuctuations in outâ€" puts of individual countries the total annual production of the world showâ€" ed a steady trend before the war. From 1854 to 1891 the yearly output kept between 20 and 30 million sterâ€" ling. From 1890, when the producâ€" tion â€" was £24, 421 000, there was a steady rise year by yearâ€"except durâ€" ing the Boer War, and again in 1914 â€"to the high record of £97,114,000 in 1915. After 1915, however, there was a very sharp falhng-ofi Pro> duction fell year by year to £66 123,â€" 000 in 1922, a decline of over 30 per. cent. Smce then there has been a good recovery.
