Salter i'm the Spanish river district, aud

The quartz in these three localities Is

that, native gold is not 80 prevalent IN

pyrites of iron are found on this range,

stumbling block in the way of develop

ton on the part OF English and Canadi-
AN capitalists To engage extensively in
mining and the principal capital invested

directly by Americans. On the other
hand the Canadian import duty on
mining machinery isa serious drawback,
and a. better machinery aud other min

States than can be produced elsewhere,
IL stands To reason that, those of the
Americans, who intend To prosecute min

using nothing but the best, which means,
machinery OF American invention and

In conclusion allow me TO say, that in
my opinion, the only thing that will de-
velop the mineral resources oil Ontario. is
an unrestricted reciprocity between the
United States and Canada in all matters
pertaining Co minerals or mining machi-
merry. or, what would better suit some
people, the annexation Of Canada TO the
United States, thereby concentrating an
alliance which would form the most
grand nation ON the lace OF mother earth.

cause oil the stringency. The volume OF
business continues heavy, and the new
year will doubtless bring the much need

continued stringency is affecting the buy

made sparingly by the smaller consul

So that the fault cannot lie in lack al
pig iron. This there il great trouble in
doing, owing to scarcity of cars and the
strike south. IL the strike continues,
southern iron may advance slightly for
short time. but at the present time the
strike has had no effect, save to cause
consumers To urge the prompt shipment
OF iron already bought. At last nc

others will soon follow suit. There has
been some buying OF southern irons for
delivery next year, but this on the part

From the iron district Of Echo lake az
which, mention was made in my last let
ter, we will pass north-easterly about
twenty miles to a point contiguous to
tlie small lakes which are tributary to

westerly out groupings OF rich gold

have been found.
In the township OF Galbraith. which
lies about eighteen miles northerly from
the once famous Bruce copper mines,
there has been found veins al white and
rose-colored quartz which are so rich In
native gold ~ to astonish those who
have been considered over-enthusastic
as regards that district In the spring
OF the present year, (lS90), some home
stead settlers in that district discovered
in one OF these veins a yellowish subtance,
which being inexperienced, they supposed
to be the yellow sulphrett of copper, but
proved To be native gold, and is now
being explored and developed. Other
parties are operating ON adjacent lands,
and nrc sinking shafts In view ~ striking
