The train is four feet wide. shows well defined walls. and is fill- ed with hlue quartz sprinkled with free gold. Assays on ore from this vein have shown an average of $12.50 per ton. and drifting upon the vein for 15 feet has. so the report states, increased its width and shown in- crease in value.

To the countries of the world it has lOamd £3,l92,000,000, of which £1,- 554,152 was loaned to the British colonies and India. In View of these figures the computation of the Lon- don E<onomist of the capital and pxoperty in Great Britain is of unus- ual interest. Basing its figures on an estimate made by Sir Robert Gif- fen in 1886, it shows that since that tame, and up to 1909, there was an increase ,of £3,950,000,000, making the total value 913,986,000,000. Enormous Wealth Of Great Britain So, as the future was unfolded, il- limitable resources developed, people realize that nature has so equalized it that all the good things shall not come at once. And in the light of the past who shall say what is ahead ‘l my attention is ealled in talking By the way, do you know that is what gave Canada its name? Cabot's ship met, a Portuguese bark coming out of the St. Lawrence and in an- swer to an inquiry of what af the country,they answered: “Cana Nada -â€"n0thinp; there.” Now that fawilitivs are so 'astly improved, some enterprising explorer will unmwr what, may pmvc anutlmr 'l'rinicladâ€"40r have. you nut Cobalt and Porcupine? And all the time pmplo were saying, “Nothing there.” The Indian upon his return to the Soo told of it to a man with whom he was friendly. and made a map of the location. This man was of a scientific turn of mind. and. often thought of this story. especially of the probability of it being an asphalt lake, when he later learned of shale being found in the great north basin. It seems this was in a granite rim and the extreme low water made the exposure. Upon arriving in camp he told of his wonderful find, but the boss said it. must. have been only mud, and, anyway. things were pleasant where he was and anything else. was of no interest. He went down the bunk and saw there was about an inch of water on a black surluve. What reynurd could do. he could do. and the bottom seemed to be slightly flexible. Cut- ting n birch pole and a hole in the substance. he pushed it down as far as possible and upon pulling it out found it a black tur-like coating. smelling like oil. He knew nothing about asphalt, but knew this was something strange. In the olden days, voyage to Moose Factory was no easy matter as toâ€" day, and a favored route was up Lake Superior to Michipieoten,thenoe via Missinibi and Moose rivlrs. It was upwards of 30 years ago. two ll. l3. men started with a party and arriving at a point near the height of land. found to their con- sternation they had left. behind some valuable papers which.“ was imper- ative to have. and so. being well supplied with provisions and the in- dispenahle drinks (which of course were. and are, forbidden) they made ramp and sent two of their fleet- est men back. The guide rubbed his eyes, for, of course, never having seen such a sight. and the absence of skin-n-nn- boo. he was sure puzzled. It was in August. extremely hot. and the water very low. After some days, he one afternoon started a red fox which ran over the rim of a small lake, about a quarter of a mile across. down the bank, out on the lake. and straight across, splashing the water as it went.

Of course. all these wild stories ham to have an Indian, but this one seems to he now a good dead one. Anyway. time and time again nug- gets of gold are picked up in these streams to a certainty, and it is within the week that newspapers give an account of a St. Louis par- ty organizing to go down there this summer and try and find the source of this gold.
