MINING IN CANADA. The Output of Ou Mines Oompvod Oom- pared With Thome ot tlie States. 4 !* Nl tllir la Ikr Hplrn.tlil K. reel ef i h. ' The following address Mas delivered re- cently before the Canadian Institute Toron to, by Mr. \V II Lynch: The first fact to !>< noticed is t nt Canada probably h*s an amount of infirm wealth undeveloped eo,ul to that of tin- United State* At least, we not only have the Not them half of the great western mineral bell of (lie > onlinenl (which is pro dni ing S'> heavily of the precious minerals, smith o' our border) ; but we have reason to believe that nur portion will prove on deve- lopment mute as rich as tlie Southern portiuo. The second fact to be noticed is this that in the development of this natural resource, Canada, is altogether behind the United States. The mineral output each >es,r in the UniUd States is about 1800,000.000 while that of Canada is only fJO.Oon.ixiii. That is to say that while our undeveloped resources probably equal, their actual out- put compared with ours it about thirty to one ! the silver output alone of the United States is MO.OtD.UUI), or three times the whole output of all the minerals of ( 'anada. The ocxt fact noticable is that Canada is much farther behind the United States in the development of her silver mines than in the development of her mineral resources as a whole. The annual output of silver in Canada is only about $4<N),UM). HO that the annual production of silver there to iU pro- duction here is actually about I JO dollars to one ! Canada, indeed, ai to development, is five time* farther behind the Tinted State* in respect of her silver product than in our mineral production as a whole for while the United States produces 3O times as much mineral of all kinds as Canadians, they pro- duce no less than l.'Xi limes as much silver These fignres are the latest I obtained, or those of Ihsv Next, I notice that Canada is likely to make an early and rapid development in the production of this particular mineral liver as rapid, possibly, as hits been the increase of production in the States, during the I i-t few years, the production of sil- ver in the United Stales is laigely on the great belt referred to, so well and fully de- scribed by that careful and talented scientist, Dr. (i. M. Dawsou. And ' ' .. Urge amount of wealth wa mined mostly in the mineral fluid which extend* from tlie southern llouu- Hry of rlrilish Columbia, southward.!, out of |tl(>,IOO,l00 of silver n.in.- 1 in 111.- I, me. I States each, year, Montana and Idaho, two of the States actually l*>rdering on Kriush Columbia, produced about one thin. And tin' pri.din-iitiii of silver in onn of these States, least Idaho has increas- ed with extraordinary rapidity in tlie nh< rl time since these stylistic* were I iken, I 'olor ado produced ah "it one thu d of ifm si",'"''!, <i : but the production of silver in Colora- do has remaind comparatively rtatiouery in ay seven years previous to IHSS, compar- ed to the increase in the other two mention- ed States, Colorado increased her produc- tion during those yarn only about twelve percent, while Montana'* increase was r>ti per cent. There is reason to believe that Idano since 1HHM has msde as striking an increase as did Montana during the period inrni loned. It required Utah. Nevada and Arizona (all old milling fields,) to produce the remaining third of the fflO.OUO.tm In- deed, it in only the comparatively new fieK's of Montana which have made any marked increase on silver production, in tin' |><-ii<i referred to, which fa< t is full of muaning, as affecting the question of what Canada may do. Thus we see thu the whole of this im- mense silver output of the United Stale* is the product of the southern half of a a belt of which the northern half lies in our own countrv. As already staled, we have reason to be- lirve that the upper or Northern portion of thu belt is richer I bun the lower or the ,S iiithcrn pinion which hat already been so largfly developed. Without attempting a complete demonstration of this f i , lit us refer to one or two indications only of iU correctness. The statistics of the Cnited States show that the American portions of this belt which hare been molt recently rx- plotted, or th ) portions nearest to Canada, Contain the richest deposits of the whole belt. I have just given thnso statistics, in relation to ll.e slight inere.me in production in the States farru'-t to tlie south, and the extrfcordinary mcreaae ulrea<ly made and brinx made in the states just siut'i of our borders, vi/.., in Idaho ami Mi"it.ui Tlie imn-ers who have Iwen cng.tgcd m Mimtana, Colorado and Idaho practically nil iijjrec - as I know from personal niter un<e with tJie'n within the last two or throe ye.irs nd I it* not hesitate to in ike thi* statement and hare it g* back, there tint thai part of the l-clt in Canada known a* the Kootenay region, is probably richer than any I lung that has lireu drs'-ovcted in tlie Southern region from which this $liO,000,<)00 annually has been produced. Tli'- next fact 1 notice is that there are in- <li. .itions of iininediale rapid dvelopmrnt of thi< Northern or (/.iimdian portion of the great mineral bell of n Inrli we |M>ak. The rich diKcovones of the Kootenay region are attracting the; itlontion of the very mining men wli , h.wr taken part in the wonderful- ly rapid iii-\ i-lopineiit of the Southern por- tion of the belt. There is at the present moment throuuoul all the >tiin mining country a subdued excitement in anticipa- tion of a great rush next spring across the Canadian Irarder. The knowledge that rail- ratlin nre being biiillin the new mining field that and the knowledge that American < <pil that* who are interested in the district ur building a large smelter and rHining works on Koo^ensy Lake, together with the now well known ru-hne** of the late dis- coveries, add to the growing Oflnviotion tb*| there is an exrci din^l> ri. h pm lin of li TI i- lory undevolo|ied.

The next fact lo H hicli I would call your .iti n 'ion if tluil tin liii ' didi'ovi.rioD in I'anndian Territory h.\c I n ina.le at a prop, 1 10 us time in some n Ty impoi I MI I i . - peels MIIIIIIK to ilny is i-.umd on under I>ei I IT condition* than cter Irefort l>evelop. mini !< i < n i.ii more rapidly now than it veil ten or liltccn years ago. One reason for this in the fact that railway! puah rapid- ly into a good mining field. During the last fifteen year*, railway meo have found ll'.u one of the very best ways to get paying Ir.iUic is to run a road into a mining (amp, such, for instance, as the Cocir U'Alene in Idaho. Consequently, railroadmen oendex- perl* into the new mining fields, slnl if they find the mineial to justify it. they build the road, without more ado. Mr. Cm Inn, one of thegreat railway promoters huildr r of the \\VSI.TII States, openeil the well known Coeur D'Alooe mining Camp* in this way. He lirMt sent men toexainine nnd having ! comu satisfied with the prospect, limit a road, thu first n>:id in the field. He sold out soon after w.udi to tin- Northern l',i' ill and it was not long before the Union 1'acific followed and built another road into the aame Camp, Mr. Corbin then looked about for new fields and soon his attention drawn to the Kootenay District. Ho first sent rxperts Dot once hut several times, into the Kootenay Camps, to nee whit tl.c sliow- in'i and promise was. It is enough to say that on the reports of hu experts he started at cnou to built what is uow called the Sp'ikiiiie A Norther road, running from >p >1> nir, Washington, northward, taking in what is known as the Colville District, bordering on Itriliak Columbia, to the south. When he reached the boundary ho found he needed a Charter, and he then came to Ottawa, during the session before the last, and asked for one. This he failed to obtain. The people of British Coluqibia ohalained a ubatitute, is the short road connecting navigable waters of the district with rail- ways, lift thought Mi Corbin wae unable to get a Dominion Charter, the Kritish Col- umbia people il'-'cimiiu <1 to get his rond, and so they went to the locil government and got a Charter, in the lu?i session or the li. < '. Legislature. They waited tor A lime to find if the Act would be disallowed, lull as it w.c( not disallowed is suited that Mr. Corbin has set men to work on a survey, and now the road will lie built an first in- tended inlo thu Kootenay Camp. The re suits will be that instead of three uighu jomny, as it was, a litllo over a year ago, with very little sleep, and very much dis- .Mnfort, it will be only 5 or u' houra ride in a jialace car. Another reason why mining development is so much more r.ipid and satisfactory 11 the great improvement which haa taken Klace in mining in all its braDcliea, in the ist ten or fifteen years. These years repr nrul a i-linn^e in mining methods as great as has t ken place ingrain milling, agricultural implements, &c. Without Mopping lo elaborate these ini- provements, I would show that in mining in the uew fields of It. C. they are going lo have the advantage of these dincovenu* and ali thin mining improvement. Another reasou is the fact thst mining has a more legilimnte bssis tlian it ban hid in th.-pi.-t. Formerly it was too often a mat- ter 'f ncrrcy. and atrau^cis were kcp' out of the mines. Now in tlie Cocnr l)'A1enu everybody is wclonme. One m*y o .iiid i-x.iinine every operation of every d.pirt- inent of the mines, hi the old Nrrjidi days that w.i impossible. The wealth >! tlmw ! who erc working those mines was nol all i got from the mineral; a large proportion of it was obtained from the wagesof servant I girls and salaries of clerks, sprnt and lost ! in gambling in mining Blocks. This g.tinb- i linx lias all ceased now. It is an oxtraordm- | ary fact that in the centre of the newest i portion of development there in absolutely ! is leas gambling in mining stocks Dun in wheat on the Chicago Kx<.-hangc. Tliif in he cause ill! mining there is on a legitimate basis. Any inveslmenls made are either to purchase prospects or to develop them, or to work the mines. These facts are all lo h<\> e an inipori.mt lH<ar;ng upon the development (in our newly- discovered fields in Kritish Columbia. In view of these facts, I venture to say ti^it the silver output of this n-w distiict with- . in the next five years will lw grcaU-r than ' the present output of minerals of all kinds ] in the whole of ('mud*. Then! ileinentmay appear to you to be n Ld.l nnc, ami in mak- ing it I fee! sure lam kecpmg wi,o<mh mark. lam willing tliat it should pi into print, and shall nol be afraid to fauu u live years hence. Again it must not be forgotten, us Mr. Men lit kis shown, the ritpid development of our rmning interests in M. C. silver pro ductiou will HI iiuiilitf development every- where. It will stimulate the ijnld prodii'liiui ill that region, and prosperity in mining tin re will i ell< ' 1 i\i>r<ihly ou all mi mug in Kastern Canada, I wa* going to ask you what .night he tho benefit to (na<la of an extinordinary >i m lopment within the next few years of ihc*e mineral resources. Consider what it would mean for Canada if we in Itrilish ( 'olniubi.i ha<l a silver output of twenty million a year Iwsidcs ill" production of other minerals, in that p'ovince alone. The city of Helena Montana, '.he center of a riili nnii.ni; dm- trie), is said to be, and I lidi i \r u I. ,'o I r>aron, the n, lo -.t city f<T iti pop.il .iimn, on I he rout men), if not in the win 1,1. Mm- ing mon who make their unmet -..>,,. :,,it easily, when they are successful, are very In i in tin. use of thrir wealth, not only in the building up of fine cities, but in ctcry other way, and no we may expect that the wealth which come* to our people from sue cessful mining, will be one nf the great nourccs'of ,.ur future prosperity. \Ve huvc not beenacciiHlomed siilliciuiilly to consider our minors) resources aa an ele- ment in our proupcnty. 1 myself, as an in dm lual, have, until a yeur or two, regard ed this country as un iigrii ultuial country. I do not wonder now that others so re- gard it, hut when I went into thn western [onion of the country, the mineral re sources which I found to exist there wero a revelation to me. I now look upon Cnusdn pi o^pec lively as a mineral, almost more than an igiiciillural, country. Now comes nn important question. In view of tint early future poamhilities of this iniiHT.il ,1 v.l, i|, nn nt which 1 hue been appalling of how \ Camilla to pt. the liirg- ! vantage from it? I will jusl name two or tlirce snnrcos from which ,,d\ u.t "in mineral production. Thclirst is I lie 'ulv.ini i^c of grin-fil IIIIMIICSS activity ii.dncid by eMi'iisiVt inn, IMC, or the Ubor employ, i. ,ii:d the stimulus to i;iii"i.il I tiide.

There n 1\ in lages will come to Canada if ntn mineral re- sources are fully devi lojuil. The next ailvantago m tlmt which comes to tie people, as a wholu through the gnv- , inn, i nt levying a tax on iiiinei il |.IIM|II, tn. The latter ia n matte; which is nliniciing a great deal of attention lately. We see that | the last looul Parliament of Ontario has leg- islated in this connection, and so has the Parliament of Quebec, etc. ; and it seems aa though these new laws enacted by these i local government*, well intended an they were, are yet rather crude. And it might be said, right here, that we want the most cnlighted statesmanship to deal with the needs of this question. It is an obj the people to secure the greatest advantage in the mineral wealth which belongs to the people, without hindering the necessary de- velopment of the natural and hidden re- sources. What is needed is to promote de- velopment without at the same time incur- ring the danger of locking up natur.il re sources in the hands of a few individual*, who may when individual ownership U once secured, for any selfish purpose, actu- ally stand in the way of the desired develop- ment. This is indeed a difficult problem. I do not know that any country h IK arrived at a perfect solution of it, and I repeat that it requires the most enlightened states- manship. Unfortunately, however, the thoughts of sUU-smeu have hardly been dir- ected to this matter. I refer to it because ' even such a hint as I havr given may cause I us to think more of this subject. The last sd vantage is the amount of I wealth which goes to the capital <<:nplnyed in the development of the mines. If there be a phenomenally rich district in Kootenay, ; as all who have been there r.gree in think- I ing there is, that menus under existing con- ' ditions, that the capital employed there will reap extraordinary returns. Capital that is put tip in London or New York, and invested in mines elsewhere will curry the returns back to London or New York { whence the capital came. If the wealthy mining men of Montana, Idaho or Colorado, take up the development of the rich district, they will carry back the wealth to then own States; and if the mines yield unusual profit these people will get the benelit of the wealth which is the natural quarry of Canadians. If Canada U to have the max- imum ,! Antage from these her natural re- H.,iir i -, then Canadian capital must take some part of the development of them, and thus it becomes a very important subject to consider how .-hall thr,e resources U- developed and who shall take a hand in the work. Manifestly if Canada in to get the max- imum advantage from her great natural re sources, which recent discoveries have pro- ved that she ponsewes, we must have en- lightened legislation on the ouo hand, and on the other, intelligent application of energy and large and judicious investment of the private capital of her own citi/ens. I . innot do belter th.in close this off-band ad dress with a quotation from the gentleman who preceded me Mr. Merrill :" I do not think I should he doing a patriotic thing did I not allude to the remarkable almost phenomenal richness of the mineral deposits in \\ est K.wtcnay District, whi"h a small amount of development work has ilisclu.sed. \Vest Kootenay will be heard from, with no uncertain sound.

A dirorce of chanty and business is tin lawful. l!y divine decree thev were unin-il < ntnries ago, and whom OoJ hath joiuexl together let no mini put asunder. When Christ enjoiurd ii|,n all the law, "Love thy neighbor as thyself," he did not add, " except in hiring hands or making business contract*." lint the world has labored on through nil th< v ivnuir'os" trying to get happineftH, while confining charity tChrist- m;ui Day, Sundays, anil occasional gifts in I volent and religions institutions. K\- ceptioiiM tic re .ire ; yriuul aud noble excep- tions ; men nnd women who devote their lives to the work of uplifting oth-rs; men and women who hold the wealth they have or arc enabled by businens to secure, not for their own gratification, but as Mi-ward* for the Infinite liver. 1 1 is a blessed thing for the world that thera are so many of tnem, whose charity U not pent up nor con . fned. lint the fact to which attention needs n. out to l>e called is that the great majority of men and women still treat Charity and Business as if they had never been lawfully united. Appeal to nine business men out of ten in liehalf of greater consideration for workingmen or clerks or others in their em- pl-y, and how many of them will fail to reply: "That n not husines*. I get my lafmr where I can get it best and cheapest, as I must in order to succeed in my busi ness. 1 make inch regulation* as are required, in competition with others in the same work or trade, in order to attain ueeess.

So if the lie made to the women of the world, il tli-y are asked to refuse the cheap goods that are known to bo prepared only by grinding the poor and degrading thu characters an! ilentioyin the lives of employes, how many "ill answer: "i ruimnt set tueae tilings right.

ThaU is my business and I should be unfaithful tn my husband or children if I should spend for a thing tw ice what it costs because I think the poor sewing-girls are not p,tid enough. If I fthould refuse to enter a store where tho shop girls are overworked, what -i. should I have in the business of shopping ? If I should show greater consideration of servant* in my employ than others show, giving tnem better wages nr allowing In. m different rules or treatment, it would he a u isle of the money intrusted to me for the business of providing for the household. I mii.it attend to my business as a matter of If.i-incttt, and then help the poor wherever I can, as a matter of charity."

Tkr Hrrrnl Trials In Hra/H In the January number of the Forum there is an article on the recent crisis in llra/il by Mr. Courtnay cln Kalh, who hu evidently had unusual opportunities of obtaining in- formation. He ahows that in tho contro- versy between the late President Deod.iro da r'onsrca and the majority of the C,.n greas which he dissolved, there were faults on I,,,: h sides, but that first dUtiuct viola- tion of the Constitution was committed not by the Kvecntive, but by the Legislature. The leaders of the hostile majority in Con- gress had formerly been Ministers under the Provisional Government, but hod resigned in consequence of a quarrel with President da Konseca concerning questions of financial policy. The Presides! desired to put an end to Government guarantee* of interest upon sugar-mill concessions, and to expend the money thus saved upon harbor improve- ment* in Rio (irandedo Sul. The quarrel culminated in bitter party warfare, in the course of which the President, exercising a right given him by tho Constitution, vetoed the Incompatibility bill, which provided that no one should hold a State and a Fed- eral office at the same time. Congress se- cured a two-thirds majority to pass the bill over the veto by excladirg the vote of Sen- ator Pedro da Fonseca, the President's brother, who, an (iovernor of Alagoas, was said to be too deeply inteirstod in the re- sult. Whether the President's brother should have taken part in a division on this hill may have ben a matter of good taste and propriety ; hut there is no doubt that the majority exceeded their constitu- tional powers wheu they deprived him of his vote. The result of this high-handed action was to break off the negotiations for a reconciliation between Congress and the K i ecu live which had been pending. Never- tildes*, h axl the Congress stopped there, there is no reason to suopose that a ronp if- tat would have been attempted by the Kxecutire. The majority, however, of the Federal Legislature proceeded to pass a bill depriving the President of the right of veto- This was a distinct violation of the Con.iti- tution, which expressly endows the Kxecu Hve with this right and specifies that an amendment to theConstitution can lie made only in the following way, viz. : First, it mint be proposed by a fourth part of either HOIH of Coopress, or by two-thirds of the States of the Union ; next, it must pass ili!," re^ilinirs . then it must be held over until the following yeax, and finally, after again passing three readings must receive a two-thirds majority of the votes of the Chamber aud Senate. The Congrcw having thus notoriously ex- ceeded iti powers, the President imitati .1 the example, ond did, in his turn, what the Constitution irave him no rieht to do. That is to say. lie dismissed the National Assem- bly. \Ve need not recapitulate in detail what followed. The province of Kiofiramln do Sul revolted, either because its inhabit- ants deemed the maintenance of republican institutions far more important than the orofit derivable by them from local appro- priations, or because tlie leaders of the I 'on- ({rets |*rty promised to carry out the har- bor improvements which the President had prononaeeii indispensable. The Govern- ment pr i' i:i unable to suppress the revolt, the navy ultimately ilcc'iin.'d to support the President, who occordintrly, resigned. Thereupon the office of Chief Magistrate devolved under the Constitution upon Vice- President Peixotto. who forthwith reoon- voked the disbanded ' n.-n '. The se- iiucnce of events seems to prove that the Kra/ilians will not tolerate a violation of th* Constitution by the Kxeeiitivp. It re- mains to lie seen whether the Legislature can with impunity violate it. As the case Maml- the record of the Concrcss liean wit ness to such a violation in the shape of the bill denving the riitht of veto to the Pn HI. I ent. \\e shall look with interest to ser whether public opinion compels a reversal of this illegal proceeding.

The following passage may raise in <>me fowl breeders a new apprecintion of Chinese skill in discip- lining thrir feathered flocks : " During our stny at Hankow we visited a iluck farm. The process of keeping the ducks is simple. A large woo<len shed stands near the edge of the river, where the owner of the farm or an employe spends the night with his feathered friends. There must have been several thousand of ducks in the farm we visited. Before sunrise the door of the shed is opened, and out run the ducks, scrambling one over the other into the river, where they spend the day fending.

The absence of the accustomed rainfall in the western province of India hai led to an almost complete extinction of the crops, so that the lieutenant governor at Madias has found it necessary to appeal to the viceroy at Calcutta asking that ex- tensive preparations be made to supply hundreds of thousands au<l possibly mil- lions of people with work and food. Tha experiences in India during the fam.ue of seventeen or eighteen years a 'o were terrible in the extreme, in con- sequence of the absence of means of communication between the various parti of the country, for, while one section had more than enough to supply iti needs, there was DO means of cheap distribution.
