Important Plans Are About to Be I'm
dertaken in Newfoundland.

| st. Johns, N. r., Sept. ll.--Impor.
tant development of the great pulp
wood resources of Newfoundland is
about to be undertaken under grants
to two pulp and paper manufacturing
companies made at the last session Of
| the colonial legislature. One of these
companies is British, the other Norwe-
gian.
The mills of the British concern will
| be located at Bonnie bay, half way up
the west coast. This port is the cen
ter of winter herring fishing activi-
ties In its vicinity are large areas
thickly wooded with spruce and fir,
through which flow rivers which will
afford good water power as well as fa-
cilities for floating logs.
Bonavista bay, on the east coast, is
to be the site of the Norwegian com
pany's mill Codfshing at present is
the great industry there. Backward
from the bay runs a series Of we'll
wooded valleys, drained by rivers OF
good size.
At present the only pulp and paper
mills in the island are at Grand Falls,
in the interior, where the Anglo-New-
foundland Development Co. some years
ago established an extensive plant,
which supplies the Northcliffe papers
in England with most of their paper

STAFFORD S. w. Bashaw q Son in Ran

Uncle Sam and His Sack of Silver.

Included in a recent delivery of coin
to a San Francisco bank was sack
containing one thousand, silver dollars
which had been in the vault of the sub
treasury since the day the coins were
minted, Oct. /, 1891. Here was literal
case of wrapping talent in napkin
or burying it in secure idleness, as If
in fear that otherwise it might be lost.
OF course when called for. the thousand
dollars were all there, bright, unde-
based and good TO look upon; but no
better, so far as commercial usefulness
is concerned, than though they had be-
come marred, smooth and soiled after
80 years of the worlds rough usage.
Besides the good that these solid old
yet new dollars might have wrought as
they passed ninbly from hand to hand
in the marts of industry and trade dur
ing the decades, they could have been
made to do something good for them.
selves. For the authorities of the bank
which has now received them calculate
that II the money had been drawing in
terest from the date when it was
coined, the sack would now be worth
$4,000 instead of the 81 600 at which
the institution received it.
Those who will have the miser's hab-
it of secreting their money in socks,
cellars, or other places of conceaiment,
instead of turning it into the banks,
where it will earn interest for its own
err as well as Intricate the machinery

will find food for reflection in this lit
tie incident in which Uncle Sam, him
