TALES OF LAsRADoR's WEALTH.
They May Be True, But It Will Be

Stories of Labrador have the weird
interest that attaches to a practically
undiscovered country. Trappers have
penetrated the wilds to some extent,

brought out a wealth of peltry in proof
of the number and variety of fur-bear-
ing animals that inhabiJ them. A

ing the beaten paths of civilization.

equipage. spent a season OF adventure
on the rivers that flow into the Gulf
of ST. Lawrence or Hudson's bay;
tales have been told OF the lonely
half-savage lives of the fisher-folk in
their little hWs perched upon the
rocks, their bitterest necessities re-
iieved once a year by a supply ship
sent out by the British government;
the topography of the country has
been outlined by government surveys
and by the findings of more than one
ill-starred Arctic expedition; the won
Lerful people that live in snow huts
and exist upon what they can take
out OF the frozen waters have been
described, and their servitors in the
animal kingdom-the Eskimo dogs
wolves scarcely tanned. savagely
hungry. fierce fighters among them
selves. but trained to harness, have
been extolled for their usefulness
and sagacity.
But of the great natural resources
of Labrador-its mineral deposits, its
vast wealth in timber. the possibilities
Of agriculture in its more favored To-
calities. and its general susceptibility
to settlement, there is little beyond
conjecture. Hence the story brought
from the far northland by A. w. Bird
sell. of Los Angeles, who has just re-
turned to his home in that city after
an absence of is years in northeast
ern Labrador is of more than passing
interest. There is nothing unbeliev-
able in the assumption that the rocks
of bleak and inhospitable North Lab

story of the Klondike bears out the
truth of the theory The possibility

The conditions imposed by nature

lous richness. few people will care TO
brave the rigors of the Labrador eli

wealth that abounds in the rocks.
