Crescent tramway is on the road and is
expected here to-day or tomorrow. The

satisfied with the management and know
that dividends will be declared just as

make his assessment. A rumor has been
current on the streets to this effect for
several days. and ii it proves correct, the
Marsac mill will commence operations
before great while on Ontario ore Does
