WHAT THE PRESS SAYS.

The gold fields of Western ontario
re destined to become the greatest
mining region on the American Con
tlnent-The London Financial Times.
The Manitou and RAINY River dis.
tricts of Ontario bid fair to become
famous as gold territory. Within the
past year wonderful finds have been
made there. Prospectors from Amer
lea have been active, and American
capital is rapidly developing the coun-
try. Locatilns are being taken up with
such rapidly that within year there

The apNiously awaited announce
nent of the first cleanup at The Big
Master has been gwen out. The initial
cleanup from the mine is most en-
couraging, and in addition to the gold
from the plates there is that IN the

bring the total up to 100000. The

from Colorado to conceive Of a min.

Wablgoo2. Ontario, Sept. 9Th, 'OS.
Golden Crest Mines company:
Gentlemen:-In pursuance of your
request of August the 29th. to have me
examine Mining Location H. W. 70 on
ManItou Lake, am pleased to report
thee following after carefully going
over til eproperty:
find two large, we'll defined vlens
averaging from six (6l to fifteen 15j

found several samples Of free gold.
The quartz is very strong and with
further development Will prove one Of
the best producing properties in the
district. 1t is located on the Three
Hundred Lake. having water front
on each end of the property, with plen.
ty Of timber for mining purposes.
I do not hesitate to say that H. w.
70 has the same lead as that of the
Larrentian, which is a famous pro,
ducer. I will be pleased to further
prospect this property for you at any
time, as the more examine it the,
better l like tie showing.

must say the development this far
shows this property to be winner.
/ made close examination Of the
large shaft, and find two we'll leaned
walls; between these walls at the
bottom there is strong vein Of
quartz which shows an abundance of
free gold. On several other workings
on this property ind the same con.
dit!ons. Valuable minerals are found
in all the different workings. All that
is required to make this large gold
producer is to put miners to work and
erect e mill.
There is an abundance Of water aud
timber for mining purposes. The
property being surrounded with worl;
ing mines, proves this property to be
valuable If there we're no development
done.
The famous Laurentlan alone, which
has its richest shaft on the same vein
that you have sank tairty-fve feet.
proves to me that you have the same
richness that has male the Laurentian
famous the world over. In my expe-
rience of over thirty years as a min
ing engineer have never been called
upon to examine gore promising
property than H, W.. 70. I will be
pleased at any time to show this prop
erty to any one who may desire to see

Commenting on the rich strike at

spondent at Gold Rock remarks thai
the most important point about it is
the finding of the rich ore at 200 feet
i'm depth. as it is a strong proof that
the rich ore goes down and is not
merely a surface pocket. 1t is fully
as rich as the ore found abovee, some
of it being half gold in weight. So
far as development of the eaise has
progressed, the new strlkee, which is
a most important event for the mine
and the entire district, continues to
show the same rich ore.
The Laurentian will now be the
scene OF unparalleled activity, every
department Of this aggregation of ma.
chinery running to its utmost capacity.

the management during the installa
ton of the new unde.wrtter fire pump,
which has a capacity OF 500 gallons

perience in extracting the bullion

Assistant Superintendent parkhurst,
of the Lawentian( who was a visitor
at this Office on Friday last, was nat.
urally much elated over the last record
of the proprty, of whose value he
knows SO much. Referring to the
event, Mr.. Parkhurst said the blast
which disclosed such enormous wealth
was the last operation on Saturday
night, when the mines finished work
for the week. Normng then was
known of what the explosion had acs
oomplished But when the miners
reached the raise on Monday morning
they beheld a sight which brought
them to the surface wEn a rush to
acquaint Superintendent Nickerson
with the stupendous discovery. It was
not long before a nugget weighing
several pounds was brOaga. to this

THE NATIONAL STOCK SHOW.
Prospects for the Greatest Show Ever
Held In the West

Entries for the National Stock
Show at Denver close this week on
everything but carloads and entries
already indicate the greatest show
ever held in the West. There will be
horses from Canada, from Ohio. from
Illinois, Missouri. Iowa. Kansas and
most of the western states. Among
the prominent herds of cattle coming
are the Shorthorn herds of Carpen-
ter & Ross of Mansfield. Ohio;
Thomas Johnson & Son of Columbus.
Ohio: C. L. Clark Of Minnesota;
Frank Harding Of Wisconsin,; The
Elmendorf Farm OF Kentucky; w. ].
Miller of Iowa: A. c. Binnie of Iowa;
]. T.. Bales & Son of Iowa. and many
others, all the beef breeds being rep
resented by the best in the country.
There will be sheep from all over the
United States and Canada, all OF the
breeds being represented.
1t is expected that the car load ox-
hibt OF feeder cattle will be the great
est ever held and big feeder buyers
are coming from all parts of the coun-
try to purchase the prize winners.
The business end OF the Denver
show always attracts considerable at
tention. The stockmen from the
west bring their choice cattle and
sheep to the show and sell them at
fancy prices and the big breeders OF
the east bring their cattle. sheep and
horses here and sell the best OF them
to the western men. This is where
the show is doing great work. 1t
Is placing within the reach OF the
western breeders the best the country
has in live stock and within n very
few years the western men will bo
winning the premiums and the east
ern man will be pretty well out OF II.
The railroads are making very rea-
sonable rates through the West for
the week OF the show. In Colorado
half rate will prevail while In New
Mexico, Utah. Idaho. Nevada. Wyom-
ing and Montana. the rate will be
fare plus 81 for the round trip. This
will bring in n great number of stock
men and with the stock show and con.
ventions, Denver will be busy place
during the week OF January s-l5. With
the new buildings being erected and
the magnificent big pavilion com
pleted last year. the show will be in
shape to take care OF the crowds com
fortably no matter what the weather
may be, but there Is usually good
weather at that time OF the year.

or slow. There never was the least
tendency on the part of the car to
leave the rail. so perfect was the gyro-
scope control. Two horoscopes were
used. weighing three-quar!ers of ton
each, and making 5000 revolutions a
minute in a vacuum. A gasoline en-
gine furnished the motive power
through the means of an electric dy-
Lamo. MIR. Brennan was overjoyed at
finding that the stability of the gyro-
scopic principle was even more
marked in full.sized model than in
a smaller one.
The principle of the gyroscope is
that of a spinning top. Some thirty
years ago Mr.. Brennan. who was then

idea that this principle could be ap-
piled to railroad construction and OPP
