Nova Scotia Company Among Hest Mauaged of its Kind in Canada-- | Forming New Concerns. Montreal, De Steel and Coal 2. ~The Nova Scotia company is among the best managed and soundest of the iron and steel industries of the dominion, says Thornton, Davidson & Co.. of Montreal. Previous to the stock bonus, which was declared a couple of vears ago, about the same time that the dividend was renewed, it was claimed thal there was no "water" in the stock of company Be that as it may Scotia's growth has been somewhat difierent from that of the other concerns, it having been an evolution from a small blacksmith shop and the evolution having con- tinued until coal mines and enormous deposits of iron gave the company an ownership of natural resources up- on which it cgn draw for a century to feed its blast furnaces and the steel mills. Through the period during which thg Aarious iron and steel concerns ot Canada drew bounties, Scotia received ita share, buf this share was small as compared with that of some of the other companies, so that it will not be affected to the same extent Ly the cessation of these bounties Forming Many New Concerns. Edmonton, Alta., Dec. 2.--During the first fifteen days of November, twenty-four companies have been in- vorpornted under the laws of Alberta, with an aggregate capitalization ol $1,595,000. These comprise twelve Pdmonton companies with acapitaliza- tion of £770,000, five with headquar- ters at Calgary, representing ($330,000, and seven at other points in' Alberta capitalized at $495,000. Ore Output Sold. Toronto, Dec. 2.--It has been semi officially announced that the Nova Seotia Steel & Coal company have sold their entire ore tonmage for next vear at a very satisfactory figure. In addition to its own furnace re- cuirements the Scotia company for a number of years has been selling a bout two hundred thousand ions of its Newfoundland ore annually in the United States and about a similar guantity to British and German fur- naces. On its recent sales it is un- derstood to have reaped the full ben- efit of the American ore advance. $240,000 Lumber Deal. Montreal, Dec. 2.--A deal was concluded here involving the pay- ment of about a quarter of a mil- lion dollars cash in the transfer of the well-known York River Gespe timber limits, formerly the property of the Gaspe Lumber Trading company and up to yester- day, forming a part of the assets of that company held by the Char- ing Cross Bank, London. These limite were sold to the Dalhougie, N.B., Lumber company for $240.- 000, Montreal Firm Interested, Toronto, Dec. 2.--Colonel David- son, the land commissioner of the Canadian Northern, is understood to have said that a Montreal firin will establish a plant at Leaside for the manufactura of iron and steel products. The work will commence next spring, and 300 nands will be employed at the out- set. : A deal is also on for the establish- ment of @ foundry and negotiations are still in progress. Drop in Stock Brings Gossip. Montreal, Dec. 2.--Neither the bonds or stock of the Quebec Rail- way, Light, Heat & Power company, are holding the sirength which they developed immediately after the announcement that there was a possibility that the government migh look after the situation in the Quebec & Saguenay railway, and thus relieve the Quebec railway securities from the burden of the situation. However, the situation is interesting, and it is evident that interests cluse to the company are pushing these claims at Ot- tawa. v Financial Notes, The vumber of shareholders of the United States Steel Corporation now exceeds 103,000, an increasa of over 5,000 over the last quarter. Rumors are current that capitalists interested in flour mills mm Spokane, plan to spend $1,000,000 in the erection of similar plants next spring at Vancouver, Seattle and Portland. British capital will always be at the command of Canadian borrowers on sound propositions so long as they conform to the prevailing market conitions. J. A. Pkinmer, president of the Dominion Steel Corporation, has in- timated to the directors that he de- sires to retire from active head of the company just as soon as such af arragement can be effected. A Chi paper says that Samuel losull is planning a merger of pub- lic utilities in five states serving 170 municipalities, and aggregating 3150, 000,000 capital stocks. it is estimated that the United States Steel C tion earnings for November will equal those of Octo: ber, meaning $21,000,000 for the two Holland Robest J.

S-- Deposits of Coal berta Province. Regina, Dec. 3.---That there ure 2,000,000,000 tons of lignite coal in the fields south of Regina and Moose Jaw, in addition to tremendous quan- tities of such coal extended at in- tervals all the way from Estevan in North Battleford, is one of the in- teresting facts divulged in the report of R. 0. Wynn-Roberts to the pro-| vincial government, concerning tlie feasibility of developifig gas and power from the lignite coal deposits throughout the province. The development of both power and gas, therefore, and the making of briquettes from lignite coal'is not practicable, but is very economical, and will prove a great factor in the development of the cities not only throughout the southern part of the province, Rut in the northern part also. The cost of producing power in Regina at the present time is about $60 per horsepower, but Mr. Wynu- Roberts, although not giving act a! figures, clatms that ifthe sehen: iJ carried through by the praviac al government the cost would hg re- duced to a minimum. New Anthracite Coal Fields. If alt the vereat territory British Columbia were barren other natura! resources, the antha- cite. coml flelds lying north of Pri:.ce Rupert woull make it a r ich province." This is the prediction of a well known when | one considers what anthra has done for Pennsyivania in building a cluster of big cities and network of railways, the prediction does nol seem extravagant Anthracite coal is a wenderful source of we alth and if the Groundhog country in British Columbia fulfills expecta tions it will be a big thing for the whole of Western Canada The Groundhog coal district is north of the Grand Trunk Pacific, between the valleys of the Skeena and Naas rivers Over 1,300 square miles have been staked in coal claims, and if only a small portion of this proves to be of practical mining value it 'will be sufficient to de- velop an endless chain of com- merce, G. 8.

Millions in Sand. One of the important jndustries in the Umited States of which com- paratively little is written is the pro- duction of sand and gravel In 1911 according to a report by E. F. Bar- chard, just issued by the United States Geological survey, the produc tion of sand and gravel amounted to 66,846,959 short toons, valued at $21,158,583. The production ot sand of all kinds was 40,253,977 tons, valued at $14,438,500, and that of gravel was 26,582,982 tens, val ued at $6,720,830. The production of glass sand was valued at $1,547, 733. an increase over the figures fa 1910; the sand used for building n 1911 was valued al $7,118,286, a slight decrease as compared with 1910 Survey Bulletin. ------------ Extensive in Al of of pub eigt, Ordiers Poultry Breeders.

London, Dec. 3.---According to the Bishop of London, the best test ot a man's or woman's honor is the three-penny (six cent) bit. Speak- ing at Fulham yesterday, in opening a bazaar, he said: "Those who put a penny ofa three-penny bit in the church plate when they can well af ford a half-crown have no sense of honor at all" The bishop added that it was the meanest trick for anyone to give lew than one wes able to afford merely becauss one's fellow creatures could not see what was befug done. The reality of one's purpose is not shown .in the frequency with which it is proclaimed but by the constancy with which it is held to and pre servered. If every man had tried to live a better life than his father did what a paradise the world would have been by this time.
