Thingsareal- ready looking better in Rossland, and there is great development in the coal business at the different camps. "Mining throughout other parts of Canada is in an exceedingly flourishing condition, particularly in Ontario, where there is a great production in sopper, iron, arsenic and other miner- erals.' In regard to the Lake of the Woods mining district, Mr. Bell states that it is suffering from the same causes which induced the depression in British Col- umbia. He believes there are good gold 'properties in the Lake of the HOW TO INVEST. The Butte Miner gives some very good suggesticns, which are just asap- plicable to the Manitou Montana, ments in district as to when it says that invest mining should be divided into two distinct classes--the purchase of producing mines, which may or may not be in- creased, and the purchase: of claims that may or may not become produce mg mines. In the former class the percentages of the deal should favor the seller, in asmuch as the chances that a produc- ing mine,may with further,exploitation become a much more valuable proper ty, are good, loss is reduced to minimum; in the latter class the percentages should fav or the buyer, as he assumes the res- ponsibilities and burden of chance and baiks against possible failure at all points in tise road, 'however favorable the initial outlook may le.

In the past these pro- perties have been over capitalized insufficiently capitalized and peeple have been maaaging them with no ex- perience in gold mining or metallurgy. There is no doubt that some of the Rat Portage mines would have paid handsomely if they had not have been over-eapitalized and managed incom- petently. Mr. Bell said he was glad to know that a good deal of interest is being taken in the Rainy River coun try by Americans and he hopes that they will develop something which will restore faith in the district.--The Commercial.
