There is an abundance of money iv the Canadian banks and the people's suVings amount. to over a billion dollars. The total deposits in Can- ada at the end of June, 1912, were just 130 millions greater than .ut the same time last year. Saskatoon is one of the hustling towns of the West and the growth has been phenomenal, but its sub- diVided area is enough to house ev- ery Canadian west of Lake Superior. Real estate is a risky investment in the sub-divisions. unless one cares to hold for a number of years. Some of the 'l‘oronto papers are discussing the “passing of the Em- pire" as if it were a cup of tea and a few biscuits. The Empire ‘llas seen many generations of croakers come and will probably see many more as it continues to do its regular busi- ness at the old stand. The Winnipeg Tribune says the West is overwhelmingly in favor of reciprocity and larger markets, and- it will take every opportunity to make its feelings known. until the Federal Government recognizes the logic of the situation and grants us the relief which by right is ours. Even dispensers of early morning life saVers are now in danger. In Montreal the other day a Chicago man in a fit of insanity killed a bartender. It is all right in the ear- ly morning hours to hit a gentle- man who follows this profession, but not to kill. One should be careful at all times how he talks to a lady. A judge has recently ruled that a gentleman has no business to tell a lady to “call off her dâ€"â€"-â€"- dog" even though it has him treed on a picket fence, and flu- ed him $1 and costs. . 8-11 Canada.

When one analyzes the situation. it is somewhat extraordinary that there is the amount of interest in minim): shares which exists. 'l‘hose of us who are in reasonably direct touch with actual mining operations, who understand the vast amount of wealth which is being taken from the ground. who witness on every hand evidence of fortunes adhieved in a few short years from successful imining operations and investments, Fare more often prone to wonder that public interest is not greater. Strange to say interest very fre- q-uently depends upon one of two diametrically opposed conditions of mind. One is thorough knowledge and the other is almost total ignor- ance. 'llhe unknown always has a cer- tain fascination. 'Nie man to whom mining is a mysterious sort of. magic or blind luck by which a fortune is won without labor either mental or physical, regards it with very much the same sort of interest which" a hi ml h) to the wands where the cooled :1 sifted breeze is scented with na- ‘e's fragrra'm‘o and swvot with na- S songs the most useless of Awayâ€"away with all small boy might have in the feat of a magician who was producing can. dy from a preViously empty hat. If he saw that the product was being distributed to individuals in the prowl. doubtless he would make an efiort to secure his share. His in« terest is based to large extent on lack of understanding; and upon hopes. often unfounded. of personal gain through sheer luck. On the other hand the man who has a knowledge of mining cannot help being interested in it. because of the stupendous results achieved and the rewards which come from intelligent participation in the in- dustry. It is the comparative lack of information in regard to mining and the prejudice which often takes the place of knowlcdtre whim. upon consideration. makes us wonder that intcre~’t is 3% wide «prom! 34 it i-I.

Alloys of steel have been extensive- lv investigated by railroads and rollâ€" ingâ€"mill operators, in order to pro- duce a rail that will give more sat- isfactory serVice than the ordinary rail now in use. One of the princi- pal metals used in these experiments, according to the U. S. Geological Survey, is titanium. More than 250.000 long tons of rails were rollâ€" ed in 1910 from steel to which fer- ro-titanium had been added. More than 150,000 tons of steel rails in which nickel or nickel and chromium izllly Httawa advicmi h were used as alloy were also made during 1910, and experiments were made with about 80,000 tons of steel rails in which chromium, manganese, vanadium. and other metals were used. Certain steelmakers are new advertising titanium steel, claiming that although no titanium is left in the steel, the removal of gases and impurities effected by it greatly 3”in- creases the good quality of the steel.
