CIGARS WEST OF WINNIPEG.
Crying Need Out There of Men Who Can
Make Good Smokes.

Il want to place myself on record as
saying that a good cigar cannot be pur-
chased west of Winnipeg for less than
ID cents, says a writer in The Book
keeper, 'and then, to be entirely candid
in the matter, they're so rank that our
ordinary 5-cent brands smoke like choice
Havanas in comparison.
There is room for 500 good cigar
makers in the three provinces, and there
is room for as many more in other parts
of the Dominion; but l recommend
only the west where any man who can
make good cigar to sell for 10 cents
will be Independent within a few years.
Medicine Hat was the only western
town in which | found first class cigars
An American from Chicago made the
cigars. He sold them for cents each,
and thousands were smoked every week.
The man was making a fortune.
Cigars are n good illustration of or
binary business methods now in vogue.
You pay cents for a certain cigar in
Toronto. At Moose Jaw you pay 10 cents
for the same cigar, and at Calgary it
costs you Is. If you object the prairie
business man grins and says: We'll, this
isn't Toronto One of them said can
didly to me, Why, sure, we make IL
cents profit on that cigar. They get q
quarter for it in Alaska
western Canada isn't Alaska. 1t is a
network of railroads. Its freight rates,
while high, are getting steadily cheaper.
The business methods in the majority
of towns might well be representative
of those 1000 miles nearer to the dome
of the earth.
"If an army of 10000 American bust
ness men, manufacturers and promoters
should invade the Dominion west to-
morrow they would do more toward its
development than 100000 immigrants.
No three regions in the world are more
prosperous than Saskatchewan, Alberta
and Manitoba. Banner crops have made
the farmers Independent, and each sue
ceeding crop adds TO the honey which
the American business bee has not seen
fit to tonch.'

TOWN OF GOLD BRICKS.
Wealth Found IN the Walls of Mexican
Adobe Houses.

There are many remarkable towns in
Mexico. but none more interesting than
Guanaiuato. THE Hill of the Frog -
1t might more properly be called the
gold brick town." for the houses have
been found to contain much gold
This is a curious situation, but it
came about naturally. Guanaj uato--pro-
nounced Wah-nah-wahto-is one of the
oldest mining towns in Mexico; but the
value of the place as a town, was discOv-
cred when a railroad company decided
to build a station there. 1t was found
necessary to tear down about 800 adobe
buildings, which were made of the ref
use of various mines after the ore was
extracted.
When il became known that the old
adobe buildings would be torn down
nieces taken at random were assayed
1t was found that because of the old
process. which lost much gold and sill
yer. they assayed from So to $24 ton.
The mean value was estimated to run
about IS gold a ton.
The old buildings have brought about
$4,000 Mexican in gold and persons
who have built since the new machinery
has been installed in the mines are be
moaning the fact that the new houses
do not contain as much gold as the old.
