John Shea has the mail carrying mina and mining prospects of his section of the province. “There is no doubt but that there are very rich gold deposits over there” said Mr. Reid. "The Cordo- ra Exploration Company of Spain owns the chief mines. Their biggest ones are the C'ordova and Delora. mines. They are both closed dOWn now ; but merely while the manager is away to Europe. On his return it is intended to block out a. lot of ore and run at full blast.” "I have seen big blocks of quartz come out of these mines speckled thickly with free gold. The last dav and a half the mills ran $1.590 a. very wealthy concern with big en- terprises elsewhere, and is in no hurry about the Marmora property. The chief reason for closing down Was that the fine new machinery was installed before the underground work had been far enough advanced. You know that, until large quanti- ties of ore have been “blocked out” enough cannot be got to the sur- face to keep a mill going. By “blocking out’ is meant tunneling around blocks so that the blasts will be efl'ective. A block that has been dug around will blast out ten times as fast as the solid walls of a shaft. That tunneling process had not been done sufficiently before the 30-stamp mill was completed and for lack of one at the surface, the mines had to be closed ; but when the underground work is completed they will open up again.

It was in the eighteenth century that the naval power of Britain Was revived in tho victories oi admiruls like Rooke, Hawks, and Howe. Even then it Was not quite so assured, for during the war of American Indepen- dence the deets of France and Spain for some weeks rode unopposed in the English Channel, while the sur- render of Cornwallis at Yorkton wee undoubtedly due to the insun‘iciency oi the fleet. But since the days 0! Rodney, Jervis, Duncan, and Nelson, Great Britain's naval supremacy has never been challenged, even in the second War with America, and has been conspicuous in the Crimean war, when it enabled us to send our transports unopposed to the Black Sea, and notably in the recent War in South Africa, in which without difficulty we sent to the distant scene of war the largest British army that has ever been mustered, No doubt this naval superiority is main- 1y due te the insular position of Britain, which has been described bv Shakespeare as giving her in 0.1;}; sea at once a wall and a moat. The experience of centuries have proved that the defence of such a wall by ; strong navy is the best national p6]- icy, and in following the British ex- ample, Japan, which is also a group of islands, has taken a course which present events seem amply te justi- 1y. i .l The superiority of woman ls con- ceded in the qualities of courage. moral stability, mental endurance and truth. but. the alleged IuprcmnCy of the sex in physical strength nml endurance is denied. unoral aympnony, to cue omy I nw loading OXunples.
