Comprnics.

Omlfshtts.
The following intelligence, extracted
from private letters received at Toron-
to, have been published in the Mail, Of
that city. They go to show that the
/ development Of the mines continue
with even better prospects than at first :;

/ LANDING, April Il, 1872.
! As to the mines, / don't now remem-
Der distinctly what / could have writ
ten Won that could have caused you
and others so much eXultation, but say
at once that the prospects of mining
are certainly promising for the future
of this country.
The "Beck nine is good thing, if
the manager Mr.. Griffith, is to be be-
lieved, and the development of A,
Just north of 1t, something marvellous.
The "Algona is still sinking and
the manager told me only a day or two
SINCE that he could not wish better
thing.
The "Ontario is stopped for want
of powder. Silver Isle " has this
mouth past fairly outdone its previous
poets. You may expect large demon
strated results from the working of the
different mines this winter, in the
spring, all things considered. | had
forgotten the "ShunIah. " Mr.. Lowe,
the manager, is bending all his energies
to the opening of the mine, and by the
month of June next the world will be
better able to Judge of the value Of
that property, when the manager begins
TO tumble down in the levels and gal
lcries of the mine the pay ore, that
he SAYS forms the walls of the enor-

workings are icing pushed.
Now, as to the gold-ticlds of Sheban-
dowan and Jack fish Lake The little
world that made up the village of
Prince Arthur's Landing, and it, sur
roundlngs, have fairly gone mad but
in the midst of this Wild hurry and tu-

notice from his highness Prince
Blackstone, - TO quit the territory forth
with, rs he will not permit any more
prospecting or surve, ing TO be done up
there until the Dominion government
settles up or purchases the much-coyet-
ed territory. He, too, has caught the
Infection, but his madness takes auoth-
cr furm--believing that the Dominion
stronghold, protected 10y Sir +. Hincks
is the most available ground to explore

reserve lands rs the weapon wherewith
To pierce the hard hearts of the Minis

Still, enough has been done to es-
tahlish the fact that no second "Mad.
