Kingston, Ont, Nov. 3--(To the Editor)--We noticed in the Kingston papers a few evenings ago that the fuel controller had fixed the price of coal for Kingston at $1650 a ton. Does that mean that we are paying $16.50 for a ton of coal, just as it comes from the mines, with the dirt, dust, and slate in it, or is it a ton of good screened" coal? Other years when we went to or- der our winter supply of coal, we did not have to ask if it was screened for the price we were paying. We took it for granted that it was and if not we would have it returned. Some of the customers (I among the rest) got quite a shock this week when we went and asked the price of chestnut coal and were told $16.50 a ton and a dol- lar for screening. We would kindly ask the fuel con- troller to make this matter a little plainer, so that the public will know just what they are up against. Thanking you, --MRS. J. B. KEILL, 266 Rideau St. (Editor's Note--It is- understood that the finance committee will pre- sent to council on Tuesday night a rather drastic resolution regarding this matter.

Occur- ring in the gravels of streams, it would naturally attract atteation. In very ancient times such gravels were the only sources from which it was obtained. Thus even to-day the name Pactolus suggerts the idea of, gold, because it was the river in' Lydia (Asia Minor) which, once famous for the wealth of its sands, is said to have produced much of the treasure of King Croesus. Great quantities of gold seem to have been collected at Babylon when Semiramis was queen, at Sardis by King Croesus, and at Alexandria by the Macedonian world - conguerer. Later on, Rome accumulated im- mense stores of the metal, which is sald to have been brought im by wagonloads when she was at the height of her imperial prosperity. But such heapings-up of yellow treasure mainly represented the proeeeds of conquest, and might easily pass as part of the spoils of war from the possession of one kingdom to that of another. . Who grabbed all the gold that is sald to have been accumulated ia Jerusalem in the time of King Solo- mon? We have read in the Bible about it, and how the hair of Solo- mon's 22,000 cavalrymen was pow- dered with gold dust so thickly that their heads glittered In the sunshine. Until recently there has been much dispute as to the source from which the wise monarch got his gold; but now it seems to be satisfactorily prov- ed that he obtained it from diggings in Southern Rhodesia. He maintain- od a trading fleet in the Red Sea, building his ships fof the pattern known to-day ag "dhows") at Esion- Geber, at the head of the Gulf of Akaba. Some of them voyaged te what is now the port of Sofala, on the east coast of Africa, earrying sol diers and supolies, and thence a cara- van rouie, with forts along it, was maintained over a distance of about 200 miles across Portuguese East Africa to the mines. and in a Sc Druggists and labor, the metal being obtained by building fires against the rocks and 2 = the pleasure of this charming pet.

If all throughout the Dominion of Soo TORONTO er ---- sune covers only a small area, and the Israelites never did control the whole of it. Apparently Solomon owed much to the support of King Hiram of Tyre (a strong Phoenician kingdom to the north), who, as the Bible tells us, furnished him® with sailors for his ships. Palestine lay between Tyre and the Red Sea, and Hiram, the chief interest of whose people was in maritime commerce, deemed it worth 'while to be on good terms with Solomon. The Israelites were a military peo- ple, but, geographically speaking, they were most unfortunately situat- ed. To the south was Egypt; across the desert to the east were Babylonia and Assyria. Wars were frequent, find the position of the Israelites was much like that of a man at a streets crossing when automobiles are com- ing from all directions. If he stays there, he is pretty sure to be run over. That was what happened to the Israelites. We know from the Bible that the Babylonians captured Jerusalem three times. Thus the glory of that city did not long sur- vive the death of Solomon, and, so far as gold-digging was concerned, a final stop was put to that by the total destruction of the Jewish fleet at Ezion-Geber not very long after Solomon died. All over the world the business of gold-mining is mainly controlled by Britishers. The vast deposits of the Transvaal and Southern Rhodesia are owned by British concerns. Needless to say, the same is true of the gold mines »f Australia, New Zealand and British India. Placer mining is be- ing developed on an extensive scale fn British Guiana. In the Desert of Sahara British companies have re- opened gold mMmes which were work- ed by the Pharaohs of Egypt 3,000 and more years ago. The British are even digging for the yellow metal en some of the islands which are scat- tered through the Straits of Magellan. Most of the gold mines in Mexico are owned and operated by British concerns, the output going to Eng- land. One of them, the San Juan del Rey, is the deepest gold mine in the world, reaching a depth of 5,680 feet, or 400 feet over a mile. Even the gold mines of the United States, as well as the rich mines in Canada, are largely controlled by British capital. Forty per cent. of the gold output of California at the pres- ent time is derived from dredging, and the biggest plants operated for the purpose are owned by British capitalists. In the Klondike, dredges are now being used to wash the gravels which placer fainers skim- med of their yellow wealth not many years ago. This work is being done by Americans, but the region being British territory, they are obliged to Pay a royalty on every ounce of gold they collect. When the Cripple Creek mines were enjoying the hey- day of their prosperity---the gold oe- curring there, by the way, in a very unusual form, as a "telluride" (in combination with tellurfum)---British capital controlled most of them.
