In 1756 the authorities inaugurated the policy of leaving a basket at the gate, Any person with a newly-born infant to dispose of was invited to place it in the basket, ring the bell and run.

The Workmen's Compensation: Ae wil double the amount of money tha mining companies have been setting | aside each year to guard agains Hability, Basing the estimate on the actua number of men employed .and the the Compensa tion "Act at the present fixed rate: will cost the mining companies o! Cobalt approximately $40,000 more than when they were insuring witt Brivalp companies, and the Poreu Pine camp $28,760. The old rates for underground ané surface men averaged $1.50 fo every hundred dollars of the Eros: pay roll and 40 cents for every bun dred dollars on the pay roll for mik men, Under the Compensation Aci the companies have been assessec $3 Tor every hundred dollars on the pay roll, and 80 cents for mill men employed in works where heat is not employed for the reduction or refin- ing of metals. This classification will apply to all but a store or twe | of the men employed in the thirtees or fourteen Cobalt mills. That there will be a re-classifica tion under the Act at the end of the year there is little doubt, but foi the present Cobalt miners have beer classified under the two rates only. Thus under the three dollar classi fication there is included all surface men, including ore sorters and as sayers and surveyors. Obviously |-these men do not run the same risk as the man who Is running a drill In a wet shaft, for instance, but te get a trial balance, as it were, the Government has made no difference between them. While it is under suspicion as be ing uaworkable; there is a genera disposition by the mining companies to give the Act a fair trial. Pre viously all risk has been assumed by companies, and they have beem far more - thorough in resisting all claims for damages whether justi fiable or not than the management | of the miners relished. As was quite natural, too, a common jury could be relied upon to give. very handsome damages; and the constant litigation resulting was very disagreeable and bred bad feeling between men and employers. It was seldom possible before the verdict was given to pre- dict whether the injured man was going to get three hundred or three thousand, the sum varying largely 4 according to the ability of the coun- sel employed. It was hoped that under the Aet the amount paid would all go directly to the man hurt, and that such a large percept- ag> of it would not be subtracted for legal expenses. For this reason, al- though the rate is twice as high as could be obtained from private com- panies, there has not been a very determined attempt on the part of the majority of employers against the measure as g measure, Prior to January the Cobalt camp paid approximately $40,000 to in- sure its 3,000 workers; this year, with no further alterations in the rates, it will cost $79,000; last year the gold miners contributed about $28,766 in premiums against $57, 000 this. An Intensive Farmer, That intensive farming is not con- fined entirely to Belgium and France, which are the world-renown- ed centres, but that it is, and profit ably so, practiced in Canada, 1s shown by the record made by Sam- uel Van Tassel, residing om West street road, where if passes through the Kerby tract, says The Brantford Expositor, ' Eleven years age. a machinist, without a particle of knowledge 'of farming or gardening, and even mow of the belief that he does not know either, but that he uses common sense only, Samuel Van Tassel last year, from a plot of ground $89 1-2 square yards, by means of rotation of garden crops, took off products which -at their net market value brought $2370.75. The secret, he says, was in getting two or three crops off each piece of land, and get- ting them on the market early, so that they brought the highest pes- sible prices. The labor on the five plots, for the sowing and attending only, not including the cost of tak- ing out or of selling, amounted to but five days' time.

The Hudson's Bay Company, which has just passed its dividend, is the oldest company doing business in the Dominion, It first received a royal charter in 1670, and supplementary charters in 1884, 1892, and 1912. The head office is in London, Eng- land. The Hudson's Bay Company was originally a fur trading concern, but during recent years a large part of its revenue is secured from land sales and ordinary departmental store business. The company has a capitalization "of £2,000,000 of 5 per cent. eumulative preferred stock of which £1,999,745 are outstanding and £1,000,000 ordinary stock, all of which is outstanding. During. recent years the following dividends were paid on the ordinary stock: 1908, 20 per cent. 1909, 25 per cent, and for the four years 1910, 1911, 1012, and 1933, 40 per cent; in 1913 a divi dend of 5 per cent. was paid on the preferred stoek. In the year end- ed 31st May, 1914, the profits from trading account amounted to £86, 636, and from gnd account £400,000. The total assets of the company are £0,151,000, Sir Thomas Skinner, a director of the Camadian Pacific Railway, is president of the com- pany, having succeeded the late Lord Strathcona. The passing of the preferred dividend is very latge- ly due to the falling off in land sales dnd to the lessened demand for furs. Reopening Antimony Mines. St. John; NB; July 2.--There is a prospect of the early reopening of the antimony mines at Lake George, York County. These mines have not been opened since 1909, owing to the low price of the ore. With an appreciable increase in ore prices, a proposal has been made by a syndi- cate to lease the mines for a term of years. The company have also un- der consideration an offer of sale. Carriage Pays Back Dividend. Montreal, July 2.--It is annouced that the directors of Carriage Fac- tories, Limited, at a meeting held June 17th, declared a dividend of 3-4 per cent. on .thé preferred shares of the company, payment to be made on July 15th to stock re- cord June 12th. The dividend is the first since last July, payments having been discontinued when the autumn quarter came around. The stock is cumulative, so the dividend to be paid in July will be for the three months ended October 31st last. That leaves three quarterly distributions still to be made up be- fore the stock can go back on a re- gular dividend basis. Orders for harness and equipment placed by the British War Office, to- gether with some business from the Canadian Government, were respon- sible for the resumption of dividends. Exit The C. G. F. 8, Montreal, July 2.--The Canadian Gold Fields Syndicate, now being wound up. is about te distribute a dividend of 4.43 per cent. to share- holders, payable July. 12th, of re- cord June 20th, This. distribution of the assets is interesting as mark- ing the passing of apother relic of the days when Eastern people's eyes were full of fortunes they were go- ing to make iw the Rossland mines. The C.G.F.8., has not been operat- ing since 1901, but has maintained an organization because it owned a few idle properties and 4,270 shares of Consolidated Smelters stock on which it drew dividends and passed on to shareholders after deducting expenses. The Consolidated gave these 4,270 shares for 640,000 shares of St. Eugene. The latter mine is just about werked out now. Take More Of Preferred Stock. Montreal, July 2.--The directors of Goodwins, Limited, have subserib- ed for $150,000 new preferred stock at 80. When financial conditions are more favorable the shareholders, common and preferred, will be of- fered the balance of a total of $500,- 000, now issued, at the same price. The directors hold about one-third of the total capital stock of the com- pany, and the amount that they have sibseribed would represent about their allotment of the stock. New Power Company. Quebee, July 2.--With a capital of three million dollars and exten- sive pawers, a new company has been incorporated by provincial _let- ters patent to develop hydraylie Owers in the cities of Quebec and ree Rivers, and. also in various Counties in the district. ---- Phoenix Company in Liquidation.
