' ' lilll. ll. hill, The Jeweller, Lindsay, A Canadian Marble City. â€"â€" A BOOM TOWN BUILT 01“ WHITE MAR- BLEâ€"THE ONLY ONE IN THE WORLD. I was assistant engineer on the Oil- tario and Quebec Railroad, a branch of the Canadian Pacific Railway, writes an old engineer, and in running one of our preliminary lines one of them touch- ed Bridgewater, Ontario, a deserted town that was the personification of Ol- iver Goldsmith's “ Deserted Village." Bridgewatcr was brought into existence by one of the strangest gold finds and crn‘zes in the history of this continent. Nearly twenty-five years ago a farm- er’s wife was searching the woods sur- rounding their farm for a sow that had strayed, and, becoming thirsty, stooped to get a drink from aspring. Slipping. she fell against a small, loose rock, which rolled to her feet, and which proved to be a twenty-pound nugget of almost pure gold. Bridgewater at that time was nearly forty miles from the nearest railroad, and the present site of the town was nothing but a wilderness, but the client of the accidental find of the farmer’s wife was such that inside of six months what had been a burned-over, barren wilderness was converted into a substantial city of nearly 5,000 people. In digging a shaft about a mile south of the town site, on the claim of Billa Flint, a life senator of Canada, an im- mense quarry of the purest white mal- bleever found in this continent was dis covered, and at the suggestion of the Senator the town at Bridgewater was practically built of marble, for it. has to. day the only hotel, church, school. court- house and private dwellings composed elli'rcly of white marble in the world, and a mile north of the towa are an abandoned axe factory and grist mill. whose foundations are built of the same material. One rancher, whose farm adjoined ‘Ahiddin's Cave,’ the place where the original nugget. was found, sold five acres to an English syndicate for $100,- 000, and it is an established fact that the syndicate spent as much more de- veloping their claim, as everything was very costly, all material having to be hauled nearly fifty miles over rough roads; and they did not get an ounce of tree gold out of their purchase, but they uiilied some quartzâ€"about. 100 tons.â€" shippcd it to the States, and in return got a bill from the smelting company for $360 smelting. charges ruler and above the gold in the quarlz. This was the first, and I believe the lust,shipe merit of quartz ever made, as the cost of h-luling, shipping and smelling was $150 a too more the rock produced. On a Torpedo Boat Destroyer. Mr. George Griffith contributes to the February number of Pearson's Ma:- nzinengraphic description of one of the latest and speedicst torpedo-boat desuoyers. After a ,run doiim the - - ' - . 'l homes, the Signal had been given 'ior I lull speedâ€" H The gallant liltlc cralt seemed to shake herself and jump lorwarll as if some drug towing aslcrn had been cut adrift. Tllc boiling foam sprang out in two long, curling jets from under hot" flat-bottomed stern, spurned out by the by the recent frosts in several sectitu: whirling, grinding screws. They were ONTARIO, FRIDAY, APRIL 8TH, 1898. , making their 400 revolutions per uln- ute now, for the last signal had m an: full speed ahead. .4! H I“ “ The stokers were working as if their lives depended on the number of pound; of coal they flung into the roaring fur- naces, and the mighty little engines 'were panting,' and throbbing, and you withal working as smoothly as it litlv's sewing machine, although each of them was grinding out its three thousand horse-power. On deck it was blowing a liulricane, and the smoke tumbled down from the tops of the funnels and poured in it sooty cataract along the alterdeek. “Southend Pier shrank into the land and vanished. A l’. & O. liner look shape ahead, and almost the next mili- uto, as it seemed, dropped away out of sight astei'n. Then two huge posts rose up to port, and towards these we head- ed. They were the first two posts ol‘ the Measured Mile. “ Now the slea in pressure on the palli- ing boilers has risen to 215 pounds to the square inch ; the engines are throb- bing and grinding like wild things, and the growling, roaring screws were fling- ing the churned-up water in clouds of spray and huge masses of foam behind thenL “Then out came the watches, and the people from the Admiralty knelt. down beside the recording instruments. A few minutes more and a big, l't‘tl- painted buoy, with a triangular gridiron on top of it, anchored in a straight line with the two posts, hove in sight. 'l‘hol-e was just time for a sharp pair of eyes to read the word ‘ Admiralty ’ painted on it in white, as the thrilling, shudder- ing craft rushed past it. “ She Was doing her best new. Every plate and rivet in her hull, every tube in her boilers, every rod and wheel and crank and pin in her engines was being strained to the utmost, and if anything was going to break, it would do so socii; Two tall pyramids grew swiftly up out of the water. another big red painted buoy came dancing along. It spun by a yard or so from the sideâ€"for we had one of the best helnismcn in the world at the wheel, and they do not waste many inches on an official trial. Some one shouted out, ‘ Stop l ' and the gallant little Mallard had covered her first mile in a minute and forty-five seconds.” .. It Wants‘to Kill Our Trade. The diabolical attempt of the Toronto Globe to destroy Canadian trade iii the Yukon district is the worst exhibition of stupid partisanship that this country has ever witnessed. Day by day the organ proclaims that unless we give iis friends, McKenzie and Mann, the lingo gold grant that Mr. Sifton wants them to handle, the Yankees will get the trade. The organ is trying to do two things. First, it; wants to “ hold up " the country for McKenzie and Mann and Mr. Sifton. Secondly, it wants the thousands who are going to the Yukon to believe that. it will pay lllt'lll better to buy Yankee than Canadian goods, if the “ hold-up " fails. as it ivi’l. The Globe's scheme is to rob the coun- lry either of its territory or its trade. But we say to the Yukon gold seekers that, whether we give the gold hind to Messrs. McKenzie and Mann or keen it for the prospector, Canada is tlle place in which to olltfit.â€".‘llaif and Elllpl'i-lz. .....-.. ~_" ~_ M. - “a...” _...
