reports that recent development work on
the property had produced satisfactory
results When he took charge a cross
cut tunnel was run e,ghty-six feet into the
side of the mountain before sinking A
winze twenty feet. Near the face of the
tunnel the ledge was also cross-cut for a
distance of sixty-two feet before sinking
a winze twenty-five feet deep At the
foot of this winze there Is drift twelve
feet long, neither wall having been en-
countered. Recent assays gave returns
of sl0.25, S1720 and SEQ in all values.
Duncan Mcintosh, president and man
ager of the Winnipeg Mining & Smelling
Company, has returned from an extended
trip through Eastern Canada. He says:
"At present, owing to the war, money is
tight and It is easier to sell a mine or a
iooo sSares Of stock. This This is be- =
cause few have large sums Of
money. while the general masses have
but little for any form Of investment.
This tightness, he says, will disappear Just
as soon as the British show that they
can eaily conquer the Beers. A decisive
battle or two with the British as victors
would result in putting an end TO the
present tightnes OF money"

eminent who visit the different families
where there are children and give instruc-

on the aStuteness of the children, and
they may spend days or weeks, as the

A town boasting Of a railway station
which cost $4,000 to erect and duly ap-
pointed station master, and yet having
no train service, is unique beyond dispute
Dundee, in New Jersey, is in this predic-
ament, the inhabitants having actually
no trains, although their fine station is
available for any amount of traffic and
the reason given for this strange fact is
that so long as the trains run through
the inhabitants ought to be satisfied.
There is a place in the middle of the Pa
cific ocean well known to mariners where
there is never any Christmas day. This is
owing to it's being in the 1S0th degree of
longitude, and directly opposite to Green
Wich and therefore twelve hours ahead of
Greenwich time In a journey round the
globe the other twelve hours would have
to be marked out of the navigators call
endar and if this point crossing the anti
podes is touched on Christmas eve then
there can be no Christmas day.
In one OF the West Indies groups there
is a colony of some 500 whites and blacks
where there are neither towns, villages
nor fresh water supplies. In fact there
is such scarcity of everything that the
government has to send food and employ
ment to the Inhabitants to keep them
from starving. Salt fish and sweet pota-
toes are the staple foods of the Anguillas,
and the only water obtainable is brackiSh
and tainted by the sea.
