Gold Deposits in Canada,

The provincial gcologist of Canada. in
his report Tor the year lS5l-'52, gives an
account Of gold washings on the river Du
Loup, at its juncture with the Chaudiere in
which he states that during the present
season 1900 pennyweights Of gold have
been obtained by fifteen men employed by
the company engaged in working the de-
posit. Much time and money were lost in
consequence of their dam being carried
away, but on the whole the labor has been
remunerative. The other minerals found in
connection with the gold and iroa sand, a
small quantity Of platinum, and lrrodium
with on indication of mercury.
Several prospectors, both American and
Canadian, have traversed the country all
around, and have been successful also in
finding the precious metal in other localities,
but had not succeeded IN making its collec-
ton profitable. The geolocist concludes,
from the evidence collected, that the depoS-
its are not generally sufficiently rich to rem.
der their work remuneratiye TO unskilled Ia.
bor; and that agrculturi,ts and others en-,
gaged in the ordinary occupants Of the coun
try, would only lose their tine aud labor by
! turning gold-hunters.
