Motion Pictures in France.

PARIS OP).-The authorities of the
Roman Catholic Church in France see

HALIFAX. x. g, Sept. T. Western Canada has no monopoly on gold mining in this dominion. Free gold is still so rich in Nova Scotia that operators have to guard against dishonest em- ployees.
 Official figures reveal that gold production in Nova Scotia since 1862 is valued about S20,000.- 900. It is estimated. however, that these figures include only half of the real output, for in early days many operators did not make returns, and miners also indulged in "bootlegging. !" Thus they sold independently thousands of rich nuggets. In all, 967, 169 ounces of gold have been produced in this prov ince from 2,232,S02 tons of ore, say the official statistics.
