A Useful Fad.

We had two arbor days in the spring,
and 1t Is appropriate that there should
be one in the fall. Some trees bear
transplanting better in the fall, and
there cannot be too much Of this thing.
Nothing could be better than to have
this beautiful interest in tree culture
become fad. A tree planting craze
that would line every street and avenue
with shade trees and stock every barren
hillside and Improbable field with the
making of good timber trees would at
once beautify the landscape and lay the
foundation of future wealth But there
Ire trees and trees.
Our trees need guardians, and tree
planting in this country needs special
fostering. Arbor days help this not so
much directly, since the actual tree
planting is insignificant compared with
the annual destruction, but in awaken
ing an interest in the care, the worth
and the beauty of trees and the need of
tree culture. The children of today CAN
not be enlisted in a better cause.-Se-

stories of Rich Gold Deposits in Mich
iptcOten Country.

iDtcOten Country.
Sault Ste Marie, Mich, Sept. THE
party of gold seekers on the yacht Mary
Bell have returned from Michipcoten
after having been in the new gold
fields but three days. They say the
newly discovered Eldorado is fully as
rich as has been reported. There were
Ia in the party, and all responsible busi-
ness men of this city. Each of them Sc
cured claims upon which the gold
quartz promised big returns. In all
the party will make application for 4, 900
acres which was prospected and staked
out while they were there. Many SAM
Piles of quartz in which free gold as
large as pin head can be seen were
brought back by them. The specimens
were secured from different places on
their claims, which are scattered. When
the party arrived Tuesday night there
were but six prospectors on the ground
at Lake Wawa, and they secured good
locations. They are jubilant over their
finds, and say that the auriferous de-
post is evidently an immense one. Veins
of beautiful white quartz carrying free
gold exist almost everywhere in the
Lake Wawa region. The original find
is an extremely rich one, beyond doubt.
The returning prospectors say that
where the veins are laid bare the gold
particles can be seen everywhere in
the quartz. When the party left Sat-
urday at least 200 prospectors had ar
rived, and they passed several parties
going in. The shores of Lake Wawa
were dotted with tents, and within
the three days they were there lively
mining camp had sprung into existence.
The distance from the mouth of tho
Michipicoten river to Lake Wawa is not
to exceed seven miles, and the party ex-
perienced no difficulty in getting in or
ott with their camp equipage The trip
was made in about three hours The road
is well-defined one. The report which
the Mary Bell party brought has set
the two Soo's wild with excitement.
and an exodus to Klondike Jr. will be-
gir at once.
