It is a well known fact, states the re- po(t, that the deiMisits of merchant- ahN- ircii ores hitherto <iiscovcrcd in Canada arc very limited in ex- tent; indee<l, the bla!rt furnace companies in Ontario had to import o\cr 71 pi-r cent, of the ore smelt- r<l in l!)0!». While, however, the supply of merchantable iron ore in Canada is limited, enonnous <|uan- tities of low-grade ores are known to exist. The megnetic com cnlra- tion of these ores into product:^ e(]iial, and in many instances su- peritir, to the be!^t natural cires ob- tainable, is, therefore of great im- portance. f)f particular interest were ex- periments carried out with two shipments of iron «ires from the Bri«tol mines, in Pontiac County, Quebec. The conchision arrived at is that by either of the two methods the eoncontrates frtim Bristol ores wduld yield very <lcsirab!e low sul- phur material for the nuuiufai'ture of imn hy either the electric or or- dinary blast furnace. A recent ex- amination of the mine revcale<l the existence of an ore field of 90,000 sfmarc feet. UNITED STATES. The U. S. Government have or- dered a mobilization of army and navy.

DYNAMUIE TO OPEN ILVRBOR. No Other Way of Clearinp Entruneo to Sydney, Nova Scolia. A despatch from Halifax says : It may be necessary to use dyna- mite to open Sydney Harbor to navigation. Tiie ice in the harbor is nearly sixteen inches in thick- ness, but the real obstacle is an ice barrier, which has formed across the mouth of the harbor, and which is now about Ei.\leen feet thick. It is made of lolly ice and snow, and effectively keeps all shipping from the port. The <lynamiting *if this huge mass of ice is now being con- sidcre<l. Sea captains say that it can be moved in no other way. It would take a whole summer's sun to melt it. Very few people have any idea of the ((uantity and thick- ness of the ice on the coast. A sea captain stated that in some places fhe ice has pile<l tier upon tier, un- til it reached the great height of Boraothing like sixty feet. •!• . WEEKLY BOATS TO GERMANY.

Unfortunately for these Provinces, however, manv im- naigrants who originally intended to settle in them had bee'i lured farther west. He thought, how- ever, that in spite of the 8m,"»!l im- migration to the eastern Province* they woukt show an increase over IWl.
