L-it me tell you a.bout one or two mines I saw t here in opera· tion. About three yea.re ago a prospect or, whose name I have forgo tten, discovered a mine about bwenty-tlve miles northwest of Port Arthur, in the Rilobhit .Moanta.in country. It was an out cropping on the face of a cl iff, and was what is called i.a the West "brittle silver ;" that is, a. native silver dis semina.ted through quartz in the form of nuggets and st reaks. This ls the best form of ore known ·. The prospector put in fou1 or five bla.ete and got out bet ween $42,000 and 360,000 worbh of ore. He immedistely sent a. man t ' Detroit, who sold the mine to t he Alger.Hackett syndicate. 'l'he price named was $8.000,000, bat as a ma tter of fact, $800,000 w .Ml about the price paid forit. The sale was made in 1887, and the new company immedia.tely began the development of the mine. The output },,.et year was $300,000.oet, which Is an enormous yield for a mine two years old. And this is only surfa.oe ore ae yet, the deepest workin ! being only aboub 300 feet. The mine is known a.s "Tne B'.laver, " and is one of the richest In t he world. THI!

My boy gradu ..ted from college t his week, A Penal Oolony, A Oiitical Year, It is at least somewhat significant that the year 1889 is one of those which students of the Scrip b uree, who give themselves especially to the study of the prophecies claim as o. critical year in the history of the world. According tJ them this world is rapidly hastening to a crisis, and the grand denoa~ment has been always advanced by st ages, ea.ch stage in its beginning being marked off from its predecessor by some convulsion in the moral and intellectull.l experienoe of mankind. Certain deduct ions then, and calculations from the prophecies of Do1niel and others, have led some highly respectable aut horities to consider 1889, as in all probability, one of the momentous epochs of the world's career. And what do we a.otually find, Well, on the European stage, where the prophecies mi:1y be anp· posed to oenbre, we find a. state of tension which it would be difficult to parallel for manr years ha.ck . Wa.r scares of course there have been, plenty of them. Rumours of war have been yearly ocourrences for a long time. The clouds have gathered cmlnouely, and some of the quicker.witted have heard or thought they heard the actual rumbling of the thunder; but the clouds hi.ve always dispersed, and the sun of peace has shone from a clear sky upon the much relieved natione. B 11t notwith· standing this, a. feeling ha.s never been far away that these things ware all premonitory of a future struggle. Little confidence was felt thi.t these intervals of peace and quietness were anythhrg but temporary. The conviction has been growing that the nations of Europe are· walking over a volcano, the crust covering .,f which grows thinner every day. OmillOUS forebodinl(s have op· pre13ed the hearts of men. lI'hough ' 'peace, pea.oe" hM been ea.id, the air has been burdened with preparations for war, until now, more almost than ever before, t he continent of Europe is one ve.st O!lmp of armed men, waibing for the signa.I. And within the la.!t week or two events seem to have been ha.st ening. The clouds on the horiz, :>n are deeper and more ominous than ever, and two men ar.e being watched by the world with an air awful seems as ift with h of 1· th Intensity, d . . forhibth th t em lee e e~mon w e er or no e rivers of Europe are to run with blood. These two are the Czar of Russia. !lad the E nperor of G3rm'l.ny. All professions of friondliness to the contrary notwithet!lndlng, thoae two sovereigns are on the brink of an open ruptate, unless all the newspaper correspondents in Europe are so far astray as to be contemptible. Tne Cz .r it seems has deliberately insulted the Empar· or, by spending a couple of hours In the railroad station 11.t Berlin, without sending a.ny sort of a. greeting to his brother King. The world eagerly watches to see how the hot-blooded young German will counter the indignity, Another faot, supposed by h the lea.rDed in t he interpreta.tion of auo things to be full cf foreboding, le the ciroula· tion of an anonymous pamplet which aays that in case of war Bavaria need not be relied on to fight beside Ita.lian troops, and that Austria will h!lve a.II she can d!> to prevent or suppress uprisings among ther <.wn Slavic populations. , _>\nd so t he hell bro th goes on bubbling In the caldron with premonition of toil and trouble and sore pre· plexity bo the weary nationr. Amid a.ll the atorm and atreu it is comforting to believe that the hand of one who is mightier t han the mightiest ma.n, holds the helm and guides the ship. Meanwhile lb Is pleaunt to know th!lb a little rom ..n,ce mingles with the sterner a&pects of Europea.n lite, and that a. dau~hter of the Prince of Wales ie engaged to be married. Not to a poverty·scricken German Plincelfog either whom the British n!l· tion wili have to support, bub to 11 bonny Soots lord with broad a.ores of his own, and a purse full enough to eatil!fy any girl, even !I. princess. L??d Fife is a lucky man, who ma.y:perhapa turn out to be the ancestor of a 0 lieh kings, for failing line of En." the Ptince of Wales' sons, the lines of descent will b 3 through Lord Fife a.nd his royal wife. The prospective marriage is said to be very popu· lar among the Britishers who are intensely relieved to find that another Germa.n lairdle is not to be fastened on them. DR.

There are eevera.l other mines In the lmmedlate vtJinity which have not yet been devoloped, but which promise fully as well. The trend of this mineral belt is northel\llt to southwest, and its extent ie unknown. It has already been p!!.rt ially prospected and is known to b e twenty-five miles ..cross, and no one knows how much further it extends. A~ almost any point on this belt good-paying mines can be located,a.nd it is so near the lake shore that the great q uestion of freight is practically solved and the ore can be ehipped anywhere by water. "This ore is the richest I ever saw in all my experience, and I have seen all the big silver mines of t he west. I ei.w more native silver up there than ever before In my life. Ibis an absolute fact that, from some of t hese mines, ura is ta.ken so rich t hat it is immediately locked up in aaf.,s for security. It is almost p ure silver. It was a perfect reve· Iation to me.
