OUR MINING INDUSTRIES. At Sudbury Mr. Whitney talked to the miners and, of course, complained that the laws which governed them { the crown have been abandowed. Two | and did not refer to the burean of were not just right. The people, said he, wanted a sensible law. And haven't they got it? A man can get land at from $2.00 to $3.50 an acre, according te the distance from the railway. If he pre ior 'a lease he can have it on payment of 81 per acre for the first year, and I5e. to 80v. an acre for subsequent year, The lessees can, during the eur renoy of the léase, purchase the land outright. At the end of ten years, if the rent be paid, the lessee gets & grant without further expenditure, Mining lands cannot be had unless they are worked, and the holder of a mining license, which costs $10 a year, entitles "him to stake out min: ing olainis of twenty-two and one half or forty acres, and.to hold the same on performing the required work. The greatest térritory any one edn control in one year is 320 acres, and companies, syndicates and part nerships are liniited to 640 acres Prospectors in pew territory are encouraged by free grants of 40 acres, where valuabld discoveries are found, anid the royalties formerly reserved to diamond drills, belonging to the gov: ernment, are placed at the disposal of exploring parties, and 35 per cent. of the vost of operating them is de frayed hy the govermment. In addition aid to the extent of $25,000 per aa num is given out of the Iron Mining fund in the way of bounties on iron raised aud smelted in the province. Mr. Whithey did not speak of the law, did not analyze it, did not say wherein he could improve upon it, wines the assay office; and thewschool of mines which the government has established for the benefit of miners. Al he could say--and it was a dismal howl to characterize it in modest cengoriously church elders, and the Christian Guar. dian was found fault with because it gave the thing publication, as if there could be any other course open to an institution which called 'iteeli a news tara that "there shold be no | a considerable proportion of these will take up land when they acquire suf ficent means to do so. : The report deals with: European iim- migration, and shows a coutinued in- crease in the number of arrivals, which were 6,35 in 1901, as compared with 4,983 for 1900, being an increase of L3TI. The proportion of agricultural laborers, to the total was not large, the number being altogether in adequate to the demand. The report points out that some camses which ren. der farm labor scarce in this country have for some time been in operation in Britain, and that the rural distriets there have been largely drained of their population, owing to the migra: tion to the cities and towns. It is hardly likely, therefore, thas the grow- ing demand for farm labor in Canada ean be supplied to any appreciable ex: tent from this source. Better results are expected from the efforts to attract the class of young men who wish to earn farming, with the ohject of eventually taking up land, and the British tenant farmers who have found home conditions far from favorable for some years, ------------ ATTITUDE OF MR, LAND. Rov. Mr. Bland, of Ottawa, so well known here, having spent so lorg in profitable connection with two of the local churches, has spoken again up: on the subject of amusements and on the eve of a conference meeting.« Two or three years ago he discoursed on the seme subject, his argument then being, in part, that the church should not taboo amusements, but so- far as possible supervise and correct for the sake of the rising generation,.| His thought then was--recalling its tenor from memory--that the diver sions of the people could not be ig- nured, but. freed of all that was objec tionable and so removed prohibitive church. That sermon cost Mr. them from the the Methodist Bland list of It was the great deal of after thought. passed upon by paper. Now Mr. Bland bravely revives tne issue. He goes 'a stop further in his contention. He church's members should be able to get along 'witheut the rules which are restraiving in their effects; (2) tha if necessary they should be made more comprehensive; and (3) because not discriminating they are operating agninst the church and to ite serious disadvantage. The effect of his oriti- cist, so sharp and yet so Iriendly, is holds (1) that the "machine was at work. The municipalities are being remem- bers ot this session of the commons. Hereafter monopolists will not be giv en power to tear up and through the streets without the council's perfois- sion. A man does not usually dismiss a servant while he is useful and faithful and pnergetie. The people of Ontario are not likely to put Mr. Ross out of office because Mr. Whitney (whe wants his place), says he's been too long in it. -- The conservative party from Ottawa a couple of French vem: vers, and Whitney has added them to his travelling aggregation. He is ex- hibiting them wherever he goes as terrible examples of the people that live in Quebec. At Preston, in the presence of the minister of public works, Mr. Kribbs, who was the member for South .Wa- terloo, said' his party bad opposed the Temiskaming railway in the legislatare because = they were against the enterprise.
