compliment to them.
The sword is 80 inches long, beauti-
full in design, very strong and highly
tempered. The hilt is Of white brass,
with the part known technically as
the basket, broken away. The tank is
wide and strong and the grip piece Of
the handle is of wood. covered with

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-The Temlsk-

the Canadian Pacific now being fin

many miles, with silver ore by the
Canadian government, by which it was
built.
Much Of the surface of the region

over Huronian rock. 1t Is a desolate
land in appearance, though In sum-

rock Carload after carload of ballast
was hurriedly dumped on the sleep
ers and shoveled into place by the la
borers, who knew the silver ore only
by name, and who wanted only to get
away as soon as possible. They never
suspected that much of the rock they
shoveled and stamped was silver bloom
and It was not until few weeks ago
that the discovery was made.
Length after length of rails were
stretched across silver ore, some of
which has been found to contain val
ues as high as 5000 to the ton. Train
