Gas was found al i;{<il feel and oil iit 17<iO to 17f)"> feet. The rep'iri sjijs ; It i-i inieiestinj; to recall the not generally known fact that «t one tnnc oil shale was distilled no;ir Collingwood, where lli- ulici f.irmation contains a bed of ili- in ileriil about •even feet in thickness. An exposure ol tbi ahale i« found iin lot 23 ill the third Cmcession of the township of Co!lin({- wokI, Urey county. Many years ngo a •pecin en of ihi» slule was analyzed by Sterrj Hunt, and .showed .".:! per cenf calcium c.-»rboii4te wiih " a lidle mag- nesia and oxide iron." The insoluble ar- jiillaieous rre;due when iunited in a doted vessel gave 12. •! per cent, of volatile com- bustile matter, leaving a coal black car- lioniiceous residue, which, when c;«Icined in the open air lost H.4 per cent, addition- al. Itituininons shales are also leiiorted to tjccur on the eastern end of Manitoulin is'and at Cape Smyth, and at Kettle p jint oa Like Huron. In 1859, a plant to treat the ahules was erected nesr Collingwood. The shaUs were distilled in iron letoits hented by means of wood, and it in said that from thirty to ihircy-six tors of shale were treated daily, yieldinr 250 gallons of crude oil at a cost of 14 cents u gallm. When refined the crude oil yielded from 4') to â- Â»<( per cent, of burniii); oil and fioin 20 to 2.") per cent, p ich and waste, the remainder beiiix a heavy lubricatinx vW After two or throe i-usnrcessful trials, «ud the repeated deetruction of the works by hre, they were in 18»>0 not into oi>era- tiou, and a ready market fouiid for oils; but it is net known that the enterprise •was remuncriiive. The Dii«iDes8 was abandoned, probably on account of the cheap oil from Petrolia, which rf that time wax biouffht into the maikel in Urge <juai>titiu8. Orangeville Must Wait The Pine .Hiver Light and Power Go's, contract for the stries ligl.tiiij expired on Dec. 1st. The Town Council expect- ed to have everything in readiness to take over the plant when the c 'iilract expired but a hitch has occurred between the lly dro K ectric Commission mid the Pine Kiver Co., over the purchase cf llie Hom- ings Mills dam. As ii conseiiuence the Hydro Kiectric ConMiiission is int in a posiiion to deliver power in OrniiKevillo and limy not be able to do so fur some lime yet. In v.ioif of this unexpected developnioht. Mayor Campbell called a «peci»l ineetiiiK of the Coiiiicil on Tues- day to stnction an aKreemenl extending t'le preneiit contrcl with the Piiie Uivjr Co. until May 1st , I'.Mti. Tlie prices re- nitiii the 8:ime as under the oU coninict, and the comiMny binds itself to do the street lighting until M*y 1st. The agree- ment ({ives the municipality the privilei(c of taking over and operating the plant any time after ihe New Venr. The news <jf the hitch between the Hydro Kleciric Commission and the Pine Uiver Light * Tower Co. came as a Hui prise, as it was generally understood tli.it :i deal had been closed for the piirclnso of the Homines Mills plant. It appears, however, tliut « ho iirrangeinent mas siiiiply for the pur- chase of the co's.

Gibscm, Deputy Minister of MineH, as contained in his annual report to the Bureau, Mr. Oibsin sajs that the pies- sent five cent piice is ef a very inconven- ient size, and as the thief source of cobjlt is ill Canada, the five cent piece could be made from this material, and it would Ituiy be Cdiiadiaii i.i every way. He would call the coin "cobalt," bust tike .\:iieiic.'\n live cent piece a "nickel." The American nickel contains only 25 per cent, of that inet.il, while the Canadian ,' )in would bd made from pure col iilt. T'lis metal would make it vciy difticult for countetfeileis to duplicate the coin, and it would tarnish slowly, if at all.
