Richness of Cobalt Camp--Granting Moderate Depth, There Is Ore In Sight to Produce Millions--Under- standing As to Jurisdiction Reach- ed Between the Dominion and the Province of Ontario. The summary report of the Geolo- loa! Survey Department for last year, been presented to Parliament, and is a very interesting document. It gives details of the work done in every part of the Dominion. Mr. A. P. Low, director, points out that the mineral production in Can- ada in twenty years has increased from $10,221,000 in 1886 to $68,574,000 in 1005, and yet in the same period the Government appropriation to the geological survey and mines branch ad only increased from $115,063 to $173,655. By including eve officer on the staff, 25 fleld parties may formed, under reliable offi cers, for summer field work, and with these it is the task of the de- partment to satisfy the exploratory, geological, and mining demands of half the continent. Geologists, Mr. Low points out, are made, not born, and several years must be spent in the making. Owing to the small sal- aries paid in comparison with the pay of private individuals and corpora tions, those who are trained geologists refuse to accept Government employ- ment. Recognizing these facts, efforts are being made, Mr. Low says, to recruit the field staff by ah agreement with the several mining schools in Canada, whereby places will be given on the summer field parties to a number of the best qualified 'students, with a view to partly training them for the work of the Geological Survey during their college vacations and ultimately giving them permanent positions upon the staff if they are found to be adapt- ed to the work. More Exhibits Needed. The construction of the Victoria Mu- seum calls for the provision of ex- hibits to illustrate the natural resour- ces of Canada. The collections now held by the department and the De- artment of Marine and Fisheries orm an excellent nucleus for the new museum, but they both require many additions in order to be in any way representative of the resources of the Dominion. The minerals, rocks, and fossils displayed or stored in the Geo- logical Survey Museum are, it is true, sufficient to make an excellent dis- play in those particular branches, but the ethnological and natural history collections are lamentably wanting in many respects. For this reason the sum of $3,500 was included in the es- timates of 1906-7 for the purchase and preparation of specimens for the new museum. This money has been partly expended in acquiring from Dr. New- combe his collection of Pacific Coast Indian curiosities. The addition of this collecton to those already in the survey makes the Western Coast In- dian exhibit equal, or superior, to any in America. Smaller ethnological collections ap- pertaining to the Plains Indians have also been purchased. A number of specimens of large animals have been secured. It is also proposed to exhibit collections showing the various ores of the different minerals, their pro- duction from mine, mill, and furnace, and the finished result, thus affording an object lesson to the various min- ing and metallurgical processes em- ployed in Canada. Richness of Cobalt Camp. Mr. -Low speaks of his three days' visit t8 the Cobalt 'camp' on the invi- tation of Prof. Miller, the 'Omtario Government geologist. e says: -- "Of course, on so short a visit it would be presumptuous to offer an opinion upon the origin and probable extent of the ore bodies, but enough was seen to ronounce upon the phenomenal richness of the numerous veins, and to make a rough estimate of millions of dollars in silver shown on the surface and in the shallow workings of the claims. The question of the depth to which the silver will be found is an importafit one, but is one upon which no opinion can or should be given with the data at pres- ent available. Granting only a very moderate depth, there is ore in sight sufficient to produce millions, and only a portion of the veins has as yet been uncovered. There is no doubt that great values will be extracted from many of 'the properties about Cobalt; at the same time, it might be wise for the investing public to con- sider the very large capitalization and abnormal prices of stock of many of these properties, and in consequence the large sum required from produc- tion to pay a fair profit on these small veins. Attention is also called to the limited area covered by the silver- bearing veins 'in this region and to the natural Jipulse to consider pro- jetties situa in the vicinity of onanza claims as being themselves of great value, when the reverse is often the case. Cobalt is now in the throea of the inevitable great specu- lative boom, and prices are being ad- vanced in many instances beyond the bounds of pr and Understanding As to Jurisdiction. An understanding has been reached with Mr, T. W. Gibson, Deputy Min- ister of Mines for Ontario, concern ing the rations between the Fed- eral and 'Provincial Departments as avajlable order that they may work in harmony and avoid duplication of surveys. The Provincial Department, while eager to reserve for itself all investigations in- to the economic mineral resources A e A complete t as to the col- lection of thes statistics requires fuller negotiations, and the survey will, during the present year, continue the. ion of statis. tics in hope of a definite settle- | to the scope and relations of each, in }te er Prosperity In Mining. Mr. Low refers at some length to his inspection of the mines in British Columbia and to his visit to Mexico to attend the International Geological Proceed previous year on record. In the year 1905 the total mineral output reached almost $70,000,000, as com with but 'a little over ,000, in 1904, and while actual figures of production are not yet available for 1006, the activity evidenced in both the liferous and non-metalliferous ing will, no doubt, result in another large increase being shown. There has been during the year an active de mand for nearly all mining products, and the higher prices realized, es- pecially for the metals and their ores, ave not only helped to increase the actual present output, but have stimulated development pros- pecting throughout. the country. The increase in prices of metals during 1906 is shown by the following quo- tations. The average price of the me- tals for 1905 was as follows:--Silver, 60.35 cents per ounce; copper, 15.59 cents per pound; lead, 4.7 cents per pound; spelter, 5.82 cents per pound; nickel, 40 cents per pound. urin 1906 the prices of all these metals ha incre: , and in December, 1906, the quotations were as follows :--Silver, over 70 cents per ounce; copper, over 22 cents per pound; lead, 5.75 cents per pound; spelter, 6.4 cents per pound; and nickel, from 45 to 060 cents per pound. Yearly Decrease In Gold Output. "The gold output in Canada has been showing a yearly decrease since 1900, due to a regular falling off in the Yukon placer production, and this decrease has, in all probability, continued in 1906. The gold output of the Yukon will again apparently show a decrease. Official figures are not yet available, but from current reports apparently not more than $6,000,000 is to be expected this year. In this district the la corporations are absorbing the smaller operators and the Guggenheim Exploration Co., under the name of the Yukon Con- solidated Gold Fields Co., has enter- ed the field, buying wp numerous claims. The company as already rommenced the construction of ditch- s and flumes to provide water for operating their claims. Other large works are to be undertaken, such as the construction' of reservoirs, a pow- er plant, etc., and altogether a large number of men will be employed this winter. : "Among the non-metallic class of minerals mined in Canada the most important are asbestos, -chromite, coal, corrundum, . tural gas, petroleum and salt, besides the structural materials, inclu the clay products; stone and lime and ce- ment. The mining of all these pro- ducts, and others of lesser importance, has actively progressed during . the year. The coal mining industry es- pecially has made good progress in the various fields exploited, Nova Scotia, Alberta and Saskatchewan, and the Crow's Nest Pass and Van- couver Island fields of British Golum- bia. By New Coal Mines Opened. "In Alberta a rapidly growing popu- lation has created such a demand for coal that new mines are yearly open- ed up and a much larger output made. Nearly one-half the coal mined at the Crow's Nest Pass is converted into coke to supply the rapidly grow- ing dernands of the smelting industry in British Columbia and for export. Labor difficulties have interfered at Fernie and "at Lethbridge, the latter gausing a 'shortage of coal at certain points in Saskatchewan, hich threatened to become serious. These difficulties have, however,- been hap- pily settled -before the close of the year, and no doubt in time to avoid any further serious trouble." Whiere Courage Is Needed. The Temiskaming Herald laments the cowardice of some of its fellow- citizens whose action injures the town in this wise: "There are in the Town of New Liskeard no less than a full half dozen silk hate--tall toppers, whose opulent size and silky sheen would give this struggling municipal- ity an appearance of prosperity, sec- ond only to autemobiles and asphalt pavements. It is in the interests of the town 'that such an impression should be made. Let the idea go forth that they who settled here are well- to-do, and what is now a town would soon be incorporated as a city. What a mighty thing is front and what more well fed in appearance than a silk hat. The man who can use a stove- pipe for a lid is certainly above the mere subsistence line. It may at least be said hat he has fot pawned surplus ongings. at more . gestive of she capitalist. With ilk hats walking about of a Bunday morn- ing, vieing with the sun'in glory, Liskeard would take her place among the established centres of tho earth. B th, the ordinary Christy she sinks to the common place of a coun- try town." - : : Modern Anticosti. mM Fantastic stories of Menier's island Ringdom of Anticosti have been writ- n, but there seems to be left, never- theless, a good substratum of fact. Thousands of acres of this supposedly barren island have been cleared and the soil proved to be of good quality, roads have been constru , and houses and sawmills built, while lob- ster and canning factories are in full operation. A breakwater nearly a mile long has been constructed and light- houses erected, which benefit not only local but general navigation. As there are waterpowers on the island, and over a million and a half acres of spruce, it is p to erect pulp mills.

Not the least surprising discovery an Englishman of the Plantagenet period would make, if he could visit the grocers' exhibition at the Agri- cultural Hall, would be that there is such a person as a "retail grocer." A retail grocer is as impossible, ac- cording to .strict etymology, as "weekly journal," since a "grocer," or "grosser," as it used to be spelled, is really a trade "in gross"--that is to say, in large quantities, wholesale. Our amcestors spoke of *'grossers of fish" and "grossers of wine," and an Act of Edward III. expressly men- tions that "grossers" dealt in all man- uer of goods. In those days "spicer" was the word for "grocer" in the mod. ern sense. But it happened that the Grocers' Company, founded in the 14th century, specialized in spic- ery, and so "grocer" ually took the place of "spicer."--London Chron- icle. A Costly Joke. A woman of Bochum, says a Vienna despatch, wishing to give her.young nephew, living in a neighboring town, a pleasant surprise, bought a little tablet of chocolate and posted it to him in an envelope marked, 'Value $25,000." The package, on account of its high declared value, attracted the demanded $4 extra fee on delivery. The nephew, suspecting a hoax, re- fused the letter, which was duly re- turned to Bochum and the sender ad- vised. The woman, half ashamed, de- ing of real value, but it was pointed out to her that the contents, whatever they might be, were declared to be worth $25,000 and she must pay.

Dr. Charles Fere Declares That It Is Not At 'All Right to Keep On Working When Tired. Everybody who is active expects to get tired. It is all right to very tired, but it is not all right to keep on working when tired, says Dr. Charles Fere in the Paris Scientific Review. The regulation of work so as to postpone fatigue is the real "labor question," declares the scientist, ar- guing as follows: "The daily repetition of fatigue does not leave workers time to forget | their work, Fatigue dees not improve | the judgment; it even clearly causes | consciousness to deteriorate and di- | minishes sensibility in all its forms except sengitiveness to Even thought cannot take place without motion or without fatigue. Imagina- tion necessitates work, and we cannot doubt that the attention necessary for precision requires a muscular strain that causes fatigue. Absenceyof cal- | losities on the hands is no of | unfamiliarity with work. "Fatigue is nearly allied to pain, This relationship, even il vague, makes the study of labor valuable and interesting to physiologists and phy- | sicians, whose business it is to as- . suage pain." Dr. Fere says that the alleviation of fatigue by stimulants is always de- ceptive. Stimulants hasten fatigue and aggravate it, although this result is not detected on account of the brief access of activity which they in- duce. Some one has put the doctor's thesis on excessive fatigue in this way: "Two tireds make one sick." This authority would have mankind stop short of getting really tired at all. He recognizes that work without fatigue is an impossibility, but it is wrong to continue work until one is too tired to go on. Fatigue is not to be suppressed, but postponed until the hour for rest arrives. This can be done by regulating movements. Fa- tigue from a work is hardest to repair. Waiting is a form of attention and produces rly Any excitement hastens fatigue. As fatigue increases the laborer becomes less conscious of its progress and allows his energy to run on to exhaustion. , On the othér hand, rest may be so regulated as to repair fully the ex- haustion of physical substance by ex- ertion. Mere change of work, Dr. Fere says, ig-not equivalent to rest. It merely#hides fatigue instead of less- ening it; also enforced rest or rest badly taken involves added fatigue. Science knows for a fact that a night's daily wearing down and building up is the whole of the process of Tatigue and rest. So thoroughly convinced on this point are the scientists that they are experimenting with antidotes for this fatigue toxin or fatigue poison . which they believe circulates through the body as a result of prolonged muscular activity, The fatigue poisons disappear of themselves when the muscles are given rest. It is thought that this disappearance may be due to chemical change, and to bring this about artificially while the muscular activity continues will be the role of the antifatigue toxin if the hopes of its discoverer are realizéd. Color of Eggs. There is no constant relation be- tween the color of the shell and the composition of the egg, although there is a popular belief in some lo- calities that the dark shelled ope are richer. The color of the shell has, however, an effect upon market value, the brown shelled eggs bring- ing the higher price, for instance, in the Boston market and white shelled eggs in the New York market. f common breeds Plymouth Rocks, Wyandottes, Cochins, Brah- mas and Langshans, among others, lay brown shelled eggs and Leghorns | and Minorcas white shelled eggs. At the Maine experiment station breeding experiments with Wyan- dottes and Plymouth Rocks have ! been carried on for a number of years for the purpose of establishing strains | with highly developed laying quali- ties. The recorded data show that, ! though both breeds lay tinted Suge. the depth of color varies decidedly with individual birds in the case of each breed. By careful selection of breeding stock, therefore, it should | be possible to control the color of | the eggshell to a great extent, so that it may be made to meet any market | demand.
