Has But Four Thousand Men -- Strict Censorship Maintained at Canton and the Only News Received is Through Refugees. Victoria, B.C., April 23.-R. W. Liv te. of the North China Herald, who arrived by the steamer Empress of China, says the rebellion in Kwang Si is forbevoud the power of the govern ment troops to suppress. Marshal Su had only 4,000 troops to despatch agninst the rebels, and it is unlikely that the viceroys of other provinces will aid in the suppression of the re bellion. A strict censorship is now being maintained in Canton and the ten dency of the officials is to belittle the rising, the only news of which can be obtained from refugees. The govern ment forces were divided, 1,000 men being sent under admiral Ching by the river route and 3.000 under wmar- shal Su went overland. These forces, weakened by the heavy desertions to the rebels, were 'defeated and 'were awaiting re-inforcements. Pekin correspondents tell of Russian and French intrigues in the north.

Advantages To Be Derived From The Road. Is 1805. a charter was granted by the dominion parliament for the build- ing of a railway from Quebec to Port Simpson, B.C, This act was amended in 1897 so as to provide for the com mencement of the work by June 20th, 1901, the completion of the line with- in ten years irom the passing of the act, and the construction of a branch fine to Montreal. The work of con structing the railway was begun at Roberval within the stipulated time, the event being celebrated by impres dve religious ceremonies, The line proposed will be from 300 to 600 miles north of the C.P.R. and the dis- tance from Quebec to Port Simpson will be 2,530 miles, which is about 950 miles less than the route from Quebec to Vanrouver via. the C.P.R. The saving in distance is, however, not the only advantage possessed by the new route, for in the matter of gradients, it distances all competitors. The Kicking Horse Pass, crossed by the C.P.R. has an elevation of 5400 feet shove the sea level and one of the American Pacific roads bas an el evation of 11,000 feet, whereas the summit of the trans-Canada line will be but 2,000 feet in the Peace River Pass. Jt is moreover destined to run through, perhaps, the greatest ex: panse of wheat land in the world, through the fertile soil of the James' Bay district, and thence through the rich expansive country in the Peace River valley. The whole country from the Saguenay to the Rockies is fit for settlement and for the raising of grain, and could support many mil lions of people. From observations taken inthe Fates' Bay distriet, which is the least "favorable of the whole extent of country, it has been clearly proved that anything which can be grown at Rimouski or Winnipeg, can be produced in the James Bay territory. The advantages to be derived from this road are numerous. In the first place the promoters offer to carry wheat from all parts on the line in the province of Manitoba to Quebec for one cent per bushel, thus saving the farmers of Manitoba seven cents per bushel on present freight rates to the seabpard. Secondly, they offer to give free transportation from Quehee to any point on the line for all im- migrants and hona fide new settlers and their effects. Thirdly, to con- struct the entird road with steel bridges of Canadian manufacture, thus offering to the new steel and iron works at Sydney, Micland, Sault Ste Marie, and Hamilton, an immediate market for an immense quantity of steel. Fourthly, the rich mineral dis tricte of the north country 'would be opened up. The James Bay district is rich in iron, coal and copper; the district porth of the Peace River abounds in petroleum, while the Rockies and British Columbia possess large quantities of coal, gold and copper: This road also will have a great advantage in its situation in case of war, since it will be situaten from 300 to 600 miles irom the fron tier. The great financial success attained by the Canadian Pacific railway is a gooa. guarantee of that which awaits the completion. of the new road, with its supreme facilities and enormous ad vantages over all competitors. Any fear of antagonism between it and the C.P.R.. is but imaginary froin the {fact that the Trans-Canada railway must prove beneficial to the older road "hy populating the large and fertile stretch of country between the two lines. A subsidy bill has been passed by the dominion parliament granting §3, 200 per' mile' towards the construction of the first sixty miles, it' being pro vided that the grant will be increased to 86,400 per mile should the cost of construction exceed $15,000 per mile. In thf prospectus, it is stated that there-are-good-reasond {o suspect that the Quebec government will make a land grant of 20,000 acres per wile for the section from Lake St. John to James' Bay and that from James Bay to the western boundry of - the province, neat- Lake Winnipeg, the ex pectation 'of the company is that if the government will grant the usual double subsidy of $6,400 per mile, a financial basis will be established which will secure the necessary capital to carry out the enterprise.

N.R--Since the Prospectus of the Company was issued (about the First of April), the Company has received two offers for the purchase of its entire output of paper. These offers are entirely unsolicited, and ave trom part oat. profitable to assure the payment of the full divi lance sufficient to pay a the sale of sulphite pulp or from the saw mill, which, it seems reasonable to sup . PROSPECTUS OBJECTS OF THE COMPANY The Atlantic Pulp and Paper Company, Limited, has been organized In order to take advantage of the unrivalled facilities for the manufacture of pulp and paper at New Richmond, on the Baie des Chaleurs, and by its charter, has powers of the fullest description. It is confidently believ ed that pulp and paper can be more economically manufactured there than any other place in America. The essentials to the success of such a concern are: . Cheap and unlimited pulp wood; _ Adeqifite water power cheaply developed; . Pure water for the manufacturer; . Cheap labor; ary . Low transportation charges; a . Efficient management. 1t will be seen that the facilities possessed by this Company assure a point of « heapness in the production of paper never attained before, while the situation of the mills on the Atlantic seaboard makes it possible to ship to all foreign ports by water without trans-shipment. As the Company proposes to confine itself almost exclusively to the export trade, it will readily be seen that this gives it further advantage over all other companies, 1. WOOD SUPPLY.--No paper mill in Canada has greater advant- ages In point of situation. Many companies do not own their own limits, being entirely dependent on gutside purchases, and subject to fluctuations of supply and price. Other companies owning limits have to transport their wood from great distances by water or rail Thus we find mills at Mer- riton and Niagara Falls are bringing their pulpwood from Central Quebec. Some prosperous paper companies even buy their pulp in the manufactured state. The mills of the Atlantic Pulp and Paper Company, Limited, willl be built about two miles from the limits, 'where there will also be a very large miil-pend capable of holding several million logs. The Little Cascapedia River flows from end to end through the center of the limits, and the large number of tributary streams does away with the greater part of the haul- ing usually entailed in getting out pulp wood, thereby greatly decreasing the cost. 2. WATER POWER. ~Mr. George F. Hardy of New York, the foremost American authority on this subject, has made a thorough examination of the water power that can be developed on the Little Cascapedia River at a point immediately adjoining the proposed mill site, and his report shows that sufficient power can be developed to run mills of even greater Capac ity. This report can be seen at the office of the undersigned, or at any office of the National Trust Company, Limited. 3, WATER SUPPLY.--Pure and clean water is one of the most fm- portant factprs in connection with pulp and paper-making. The bed of the Little Cangdpedia River is rocky, and owing to its erystal-like clearness and purity the water in the river is suftable for making the finest grades of paper without the expense of filtering, which is almost invariably required at other mills. 4, COST OF LABOR.--The labor employed in the mills and woods cost Jess than probably any other American mill, as far as known, as competent men in this section of the country, on account of the cheapness of living, ask very low wages, 5. TRANSPORTATION CHARGES.--The shipping facijites of this Complny are certainly unequalled by any similar enterprise in Canada, the situation of the mills on the Daie des Chaleurs giving every possible ad- vantage for export trade, which is probably the most profitable field Arrangements can be made with Atlantic steamship lines to run steamers from New Richmond for eight months in the year, as required. During the winter months favorable winter rates have been arranged with the Railway Companies to St, John and Halifax, New Richmond being on the line of the Atlantic and Lake Superior Railway, which will Ye connected with the mills by a siding. 3 6. MANAGEMENT ~The Ccmpany has been fortunate in securing the services of Mr. Wm. M. Mcintyre, formerly Mechanical Superintendent with the Laurentide Pulp Company, Limited, who will act as Manager of the construction and operation of the mills. Mr. McIntyre has had over twenty years' experience in pulp and paper making, and is regarded as an authority on the manufacture of pulp and paper. PROPERTIES The properties and limits acquired by the Company contain about three hundred and two square miles, or one hundred and ninety-three thousand two hundred acres, more or less. The wood is principally spruce, and there is Also a large quantity of cedar, pine, birch, balsam, balm of Gilead, and poplar. The Company has reports on this property made by five different expert Rangers, acting" independently. Copies of these may be seen at any office of the National Trust Company, Limited, or at the office of the undersigned. . jes 'Whose standing is such as to guaran m Of these covers the first year of production, an the other covers rst three years. ne of offers covers the first year of PROCITE G'S tock, provide the amount required by the Charter for & e Fund, and leave a dividend on the Common Stock, if no unforeseen contingencies should .

"I have been working In the lumber woods for twenty yeary oF more, and have traveled and examined limits in the State of Maine, New Bruna- wick, and Quebec, and worked In Wisconsin and Minnesota, and I am sure this is the Qest pulp Mmit 1 have ever seen or traveled over." . On ne of any one of these reports a conservative estimate shows that there is sufficient pulpwood now on the limits to supply the propesed mills for more than 65 years. As spruce wood will replace itself In from twenty-four to thirty years, it will be seen that there is sufficient wood on the limits to afford a perpetual supply to a mill double the capacity of thet now contemplated. The freehold property conshits of twenty acres where the saw mill, dwellings, and office are situated, and 35634 acres on the bank of the Little Cascapedia River, where it Is prcpesed to build the Pulp and Paper Mills. THE PULP AND PAPER MILLS - It is proposed to erect-- wm A Paper Mill with a daily capacity of 54 tons. ~ A Ground Wood Pulp Mill with a daily capacity of 50 tons, and A Sulphite Pulp Mill with a daily capacity of 40 tons. Mr. George F. Hardy has estimated' the cost of erecting the Pulp and Paper Milla and of developing the water power at $950,000, The balahea from the sale of the Preferred Stock will be sufficient to complete the pay- ments for the limits, water power, saw mill, etc, provide working capital, and leave a substantial balance for contingencies. og THE SAW MILL There Is on the property a saw mill, equipped with the latest improved machinery, capable of turning out from 35,000 to 40,000 superficial feet of sawn lumber in ten hours, and is eqfitpped with all necessary power, gear ing, shafting, etc. for the installation of another saw, which would double the capacity. - MARKETS The markets will be chiefly foreign, including the Eastern States and Great Britain. In view of the expected advances In the price of paper in the Eastern States it js probable that the greater part of the output will be marketed there. Situated as the mifls will be on the veaboard, paper can be laid down in Liverpool and New York, duty paid, at such & price as to defy competition. _ Freight quotations can be seen at the offices of the National Trust Company, or the undersigned. ESTIMATE OF BUSINESS AND PROFITS Estimating the cost of pulp wood at $2.25 a cord, careful estimates made for the Company show that the ground wood pulp should not cost over $5:89-a-ton, and sulphite pulp not over $16.00 a ton. The actual cost of newspaper from pulp, estimatd® at these prices, should not be over $16.94 a ton. This is after making all necessary allowance for depreciation and renewal of plant, and all charges of management and selling. The following estimate of the annual output of the mills has been pre- pared by Mr. Wm. M. Mcintyre, a practical pulp and paper manufacturer, and is believed to be conservative and well within the mark, and includes allowances for salaries and contingencies: 16,902 tons of néwspaper at $37.00 a ton . 3 . f.o.b. at mills cee $626,374.00 a" 8.29414 tons of sulphite pulp at $20.00 a ~ ton fob. at mils .... ee sess 248,835.00 tu a $874,200.00 ton 286,319.88 y 286,319.88 ee 419,081.88 ---- cess BASBATTAS 1 106,600.00 ---- Avallable for Reserve Fund and further Dividends ... $350471.13 The ground wood pulp and the balance of sulphite pulp will be con~ sumed in the paper mill of the Company. The estimated profits from the operation of the saw mill are not In- cluded in these figures, but owing to the enormous quantities of cedar on the limits, substantial profits should be made from the manufacture of rall- way ties, shingles, etc. The Laurentide Pulp Company, Limited, in its annual report, June 30th, 1900, stated that the Company's saw mill added to the year's profits an amount equal to its entire cost, although it was oper ated for only three months of the year, and estimated that the future profits from this source would cover the interest on the entire bond issue of the Company.
