Mr.. Williams has very faith in his

He personally owns four or five claims
from which he has milled splendid ore.
On one claim, Mr.. Williams says he
has five lodges and all good. He owns
his own quartz mill.
Mr.. Williams is quite interested in
the range of mountains directly east OF

thereby.
As youngster of less than six years
he resided at Mayoranthshire, Wales
with father, and sister but three
years older than himself. His father
was employed in mining in slate
quarry some miles distant from his
home, but came home each evening.
AT each pay day he would bring home
his pay in English sovereigns and the
children were often allowed to handle
them for brief time during the even

satisfied that they knew where there

was coined into their fathers wages.
Less than mile from their home they
broke off bits of blue quartz containing
many yellow particles and brought them
in for their fathers inspection insisting
with childish confidence that the yell
low metal was gold. Also in a small
creek from which they obtained water
for domestic purposes, they succeeded
in gathering up several Of the particles.
After getting their collection in what
they believed to be an irresistible form
they displayed 1t to their father one
evening, who dismissed 1t with the
statement that 1t was "mica' and not

&pe cial to The Journal.


Montreal, July 9.-The promoters of the
Grand Trunk Pacific project say there is
urgent need of providing further railway
accommodations speedily as possible
between Manitoba and the territories and
the east. This Is the basis and guiding
motive of the governments policy in ar
ranging for new transcontinental line.
Railway facilities last year, it is pointed
out, were altogether inadequate to handle
the business that was offered, and if, with
the rapid expansion of trade. there was a
failure to provide fresh outlets, an in toler
able situation would be created for set
tiers who wished to send out wheat and
other products by Canadian channels. Elk
listing avenues would be able to transport
only portion of the business, and the
balance would have to be stored or go
south and be carried thru the United
States. ...-.. =
The American railways appreciate the
immensely Of the trade being created in
the Canadian northwest, and perhaps six
or seven lines are ready to tap the north
west and bring the grain products there
down to Minneapolis or Duluth
en- route to the seaboard. Canadians
cannot afford to stand idle and see this
traffic diverted to the south. Once 1t has
passed into the United States, it would
involve years of labor to recover It, and
then efforts might be futile.
