sydney to Outstrip Melbourne and Be.
come Australia's Metropolis.
Melbourne has always been the larg-
est city OF Australia. In Its phenome.
nal growth 1t can be compared only
with Chicago and San Francisco. In
1885 it had name and fourteen in
habitants: in 1896 contained 451 600
persons. Gold made Melbourne, For
ten consecutive years the gold mines
from sixty to one hundred miles to
the north and northwest produced over
$O.OOO.OOO of gold every year. The
many thousands Of men required to
mine this treasure bought their money
there. The city faced to the north
where the mines were; its back door
was on the sea.
But the gold mines of Victoria have
lost their old importance. They are
still productive. but their yield is far
inferior to that Of the desert mines Of
western Australia. Melbourne Is slow.
~ losing the largest resource that
made her great. and the wool and
wheat trade is not likely to fully com.
pensate her for the declining mining
interests. The city was said in 1891
to have 49O.Ss6 population. including
the suburbs. Five year later only 451, :
OOO persons were counted in the city
and its envirOns.
The decline in population is proba.
bly, only temporary. for Victoria is a
very rich little state. Many miners
have been drawn away by more flatter.
ing prospects elsewhere. but they will
gradually be replaced by permanent
settlers.
The great city. however. seems des.
tined soon to lose its pre-eminence.
Sydney Is steadily increasing In popu-
lation: by the last census it was only
5000 under Melbourne's figures. Syd-
ney Is growing. while Melbourne IN

q number of reasons why Sydney will
probably forge ahead and permanently
maintain its lead among Australian

It would make a valuable historical

tually the historic root came into the

ideas regarding carving AS a result it
was made into bunch Of pipes and
cigar holders. many In one, although
he calls 1t pipe.
The work on this pipe took 1924
hours and. II reckoned at 20 cents per
hour. the pipe cost him about $500. not

Mr.. Silver has had many offers for
the pipe. but has declined them all. the
largest amount offered being $500. He
