(To be Continued.)

The organization of the Central
Canadian Chamber of Mines, with
headquarters at Winnebago, which
was effected during the past winter,
seems to have already given evidence
of carrying out plan of operations
which will will disseminate reliable
information and attract attention to
the new gold fields of Western On
tario. Sometime in the early part
of the year they issued a circular
in which many statements were
made which seemed so highly colored
that papers in British Columbia,
England and elsewhere took occa-
sion to criticize it and in
Inundated that the Chamber of Mines
was an organization which mem bers
were induced to join in the hope of
great rewards. 1t seems that the
gentleman in charge of the Chamber
had expected these attacks and pre-
pared himself with evidence of indis-
putable authority, and the result has
been better feeling regarding On
tario and more widespread attention
than ever is given it. II was proven
that the Chamber of Mines was not
an institution for profit but body
of leading business men brought to-
gether from all parts of Canada for
the purpose of disseminating reliable
information regarding one of the
greatest resources of Central Can
ada
The plan of organization has been
given more or less attention. They
receive reliable information when
given under affidavit, or send their
own experts out to examine pro-
perty and furnish reports on these
properties to any one who may ask
for information regarding them. A
circular is issued monthly and sent
broadcast all over the world, giving
the results of assays, mill tests, etc.,
and as nearly as possible furnish
complete information as to the pro-
gress of the western Ontario gold
fields.
According to this report 1886, $50
in gold bullion has been produced at
the Mikado; at the Sultans, $413,-
900; at the Olive, 1868, 900 and at the
Regina, $4,000.
Charles Brant, an assayer, makes
affidavit that of two thousand assays
made during the past year, after
eliminating all assays which ran
over 800, the results obtained gave
a general average of 81 per ton.
This would indicate that there are
some fairly high grade ore in West
ern Ontario.

built in 1876. In Wrexham Bishop
Heber wrote the we'll known mis-
sionary hymn ''From Greenland's
Icy Mountains He arrived in
WreXham on a Saturday and next
day his father the vicar was to con-
duct a missionary service and de-
sired a new and appropriate hymn.
He expressed his wish to his son.
The son during the evening under an
inspiration produced the now cele-
brated hymn and it was first sung
the next day. On our way here we
travelled along the beautiful valley
Of the river Dee which is tidal to
Chester.
We passed through Hawarden
and caught glimpses of the Castle

of ''England's grand old man" and
equally grand old woman, Mr.. and
Mrs. Gladstone, now reunited in
better home. At D. m. we left for
Chester, to see a nephew and his
family, and to feast our eyes for d
few hours on the scenes which are so
attractive to many Americans.
Chester is fine old city with many
ancient ans modern attractions. it's
specimens of eye olden times" are
about the most perfect in England.
It's fine old Cathedral with it's very
old and ruined cloisters, and it's old

dim past and conjuring to the
imagination much of the men and
events of bygone days, made our
visit to Chester very profitable.

GRAIN RATES ADVANCED
ROADS WANT FOUR CENTS A BUSH
Ell, BUFFALO TO NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, Oct. 26.-Grain merchants
in New York We're formally notified to-
day, that after Nov. 1, rates of
grain SHIPPED from Buffalo to New York
/ would be advanced 1 cent a bushel,
making the rate en- wheat cents per
busheI. Along with this announcement,
shippers who offered grain FOR shipment
between the present time and Nov. I,
were Informed that the railroads would
not contract for any further tonnage
until the date named. One of the largest
grain houses in the trade said that It's
business had been seriously upset by the
unexpected advance in rates and refusal
of shipments. Heavy shipments yester-
day, it was stated, had to be cancelled,
because on application for rate none could
be made for October shipment. This
grain went to Philadelphia and it was
claimed that the grain business of New
York which had recovered substantially
during the past summer would be lost
again to differentiaI ports. No wheat
had been exported from New York for
two days past; corn exports, however,
have been large. In justification Of this
refusal to accept further grain C0nsigr<
ment at Buffalo during the rest of tho
month, railway representatives claimed
that all the lines between here and Buff
falo were so congested with traffic that
additional grain business could not be
handled Heavy loads of ex-lake offered
at Buffalo for shipment to New York
were declined by the railway agents.
