There {are two good hotels at Cobalt. the other one is known as the Prospect house; no liquor is sold in either one ; the acwmmodation is excellent â€"good rooms, and the service in the dining room is everything that could be desired, only $3.50 per (18?. the proprietor, Mr. Martin, doing all in his power for the comfort of his guests. After dinner we started on our tour of inspection. Our first vis- it is to the Nova. Scotia mine, at Peterson lake, where we Bore shown the most beautiful specimens of oil- was nity minutes late. This was a matter of some concern, es the 00. halt special lesves Toronto at 10.15. Alter discussing the matter with the agent at Bischwstsr, we decided to go by Toronto, and succeeded in catching the train at Cobalt. leaving the city at 10.80. Alter locating berths, etc.. as is usual with many travellers, whether smokers or not. we congregated in the smoking com- partment, that is, as many as could decently ilnd standing room. Had it been previous to election time, pos- sibly politics might have been the subject under discussion, but once on board the Cobalt special, just listen to the conversation: A Mr. F. is holding iorth. He says, “I purchas- ed 30,000 shares of Crown Reserve at 100 per share; then I purchased 20,000 shares more at a similar figure --and so on until probably about 100,000 shares had been accounted for. I am still holding 90,000 shares; it will sure go to $5 per share." To a Mr. B. sitting near: “I will give you a tip, there are strong interests behind Crown Reserve, that will put it to $5 per share," but Mr. B. reâ€" plies: “I got a tip once to buy Fos- -- o ,___‘A ter at $3 and I bought all I could aflord, and I have it yet. and it is not worth 50¢ per share. No, sir, no more stocks for me.” Another gentleman speaks : "Look here,” he. says, “I was advised to buy Green Meehan; it was extolled to the skies. I purchased 1000 shares at $1.60, and I sold it for 20¢ per share, No, sir no more stools for me." And so they go on telling their experience; some boasting of the great gains they have made, and more lamenting over their losses. But bedtime arrives, and Mr. Flavelle, who has evidently been brought up under the old maxim, “early to bed and early to rise," says good night and makes his exit. In a short time Mac follows his example, and after their departure some one remarks: “Who is that big fellow ?” I un- don’t you know him? That is one of the most eminent lawyers in the country, might have a seat as a su- preme judge in this province, but prefers to practice his profession and live amongst his neighbors with whom he was brought up rather than sufier the amictions to which judges are subjected." Interesting Information cf an Excursion to the Silver Fields Shortly, we all retire. and are soon wrapped in the arms of Mor- pheus. Seven o'clock comes; Mr. Flavelle comes to my berth: " Get up. Bob. we are at North Bay. you will miss your breakfast 1! you don’t hurry." So we hurry and rush into the restaurant at North Bay. Stand- ing at the counter, we ate some ham sandwiches. drank a cup of ooflee. boarded the train again. and are soon on our way over the '1‘. . 6. Railway. It is a beautiful day. The roadbed of the railway is splendid, no sharp curves or steep grades, and we wind our way amongst the rocks. alongside the lakes and ponds, get acquainted with our iellow travail-31's. One man is from Missouri, another from Winnipeg, several more (own from the county Glengarry. Some are making their first trip to Cobalt, others have been there before; some are going with the idea of investing. if they see a good chance . others, like ourselves, are taking a holiday trip. About 11 o’clock we arrive at Cobalt station. It is Mac's first visit to Cobalt town. We stand on the platform and look out at the little pond of water called Cobalt lake, the mining rights of which were sold for over a million dollars. 400k- ing across the lake, weeee the build- ings of the Cobalt Lake Company, the Nipissing, the Right of Way, the McKinley Darrach, the Brineess. all of which are working.

And so the alternoon was spent pleasantly; we return to our lodr ings. ready {or a good supper anda good night's rest. During the even- ing, the house is full oi people, as this is the day that the members 0! the Standard Mining Exchange from Toronto. and the brokers from Mont- real have come to visit Cobalt, and so the place is full of all classes of people. Prospectors have come in from the mines in their working clothes. and all are good-hearted and social, and the evening passes pleas- antly. After breakfast, on Sunday morning we take a walk out to see the town, and such a town! It is built up With the most wonderiul class of buildings that could be imag- ined, shacks of all kinds. without any idea of architectural eilect, and streets running in all directions, amobgst the rocks, over the rocks. One party told us there were over so blind pigs in Cobalt. We cannot vouch for the truth of this state- ment, but we do know that there are quite a number of real live pigs run- ning the streets, but whether they are kept on account of their use as scavengers, or are being raised to furnish bacon for the miners. I am not prepared to say. Cobalt town enjoys this distinction that it is not like anything that ever was created over the earth or under the earth. It is fearinlly and wonderfully made. We made inquiries regarding church services and were .shown the Metho- dist church on top 01 the hill. It is quite a climb to reach it, but we had the pleasure of listening to a good Thanksgiving service. but what a diflerence between the congregation 01 Cobalt town and a congregation in Lindsay, from the fact that tour out of every five were men. After ser- vices, in conversation with the pass- tor, Mr. McKenzie. he remarked that they had thirty-two men present at their class meeting that morning, possibly as many as were present at the Cambridge-st. church. During the alter-noon we took a walk over the rocks and in the evening attended the Presbyterian service, which was be- ing held in the Opera house, astheir church is under repairs. Imagine our surprise when a stock-broker irom Montreal, dressed in a brown hunting suit, conducted the services, preach- ing a sermon from the parable oi the ten virgins, and whilst everything he said might not he considered ortho- dox, it was certainly a good sermon and should have a good sheet on all present. There must have been be- tween three and four hundred, tour- fiiths of whom were men; in this re- spect the services difler from those in Lindsay and Toronto. It, was our intention to leave Cobalt on Monday "â€"u Our next object o! inapection was the Crown Reser'v'e at Kerr lake. Some of the parties are going down the shaft, we follow their example. get into the cage. and are lowered to the bottom of the shalt.

We make inquiries. and and that there are two cars on (the track about a half mile from the station, so we walk down to the sta- tion, and Mac makes the roam-h that the railway is run by the On- tario Government, but we philosoph- at years ago. and abandoned, but is now leased by Mr. Madden, manager of the Little Nipissint.

We first visit the Silver Queen, as we have an introduction to Mr. Bryce, the manager, who shows us all over the premises. Being Thanksgiving ing Mr. Bryce forms courtesy, we cross the railway to the Little Nip- lasing préperty,‘ where we see the Co- balt vein which has lately been dis- covorod.

Captain Jemy. was also lvery courteous. showing us over the property and samples of the ore. He explained the workings. and we came nwny feeling that we were in- debted to him for his courtesy and kindness. To sum up our impressions Mr. Flavelle asked one of the unsung- ers how long it would take to ex- haust the are in the mines ? He 1e- plied that it could not be done in any less than a century. Is he cor- rect? Possibly so. At least ‘.t Will not be done in our llietime. 'tobensgoode velneeothereinthe immediate vicinity. We mete visits to some of the others. each u the Cleveland Cobalt, the City of Co- belt, the Nnncy Ellen, with only 3 notes. After dinner, we spin start lto visit the minee at the northeast end of the town.

Properties which were supposed to be wild cats two years ago are now shipping mines. After our day’s experience we did not blame the Whitney government {or running two cars on the track, and even Mac has lorgiven them. and Mr. Flavelle commends them for so doing. Mon- day evening we took our departure for Latchlord, which is the port of entry to the Montreal River section. Next morning we took the steamer 8t. Antonio. about as large as the Kathleen steamer. They make their trips every day up as far as Port Rapids, about seven miles from Latchiord. The vessel was crowded with freight and passengers, The captain inlormed us that they had carried seventeen tons of ireight. be- sides passengers at one trip. Our object was to visit the Kennedy Co- balt property, about six miles from Latchford. We were accompanied by Mr. Barney, mining engineer and manager of the Jumbo.

After our return to Latchford we were interested in listening to the conversations regarding the Hont- real river district.

We were told that there are over 8000 claims stated in that district. 11 ten per cent. of these should prove to shipping mines, what does it mean to Ontario “I We took the train at seven o'clock on our return journey to Toronto. We sat down to compare notes, nod came to the conclusion that Cobalt districtiafullyuptoallthat has been said and written about it. We, in Ontario, are only beginning to learn what we have got in that northern country.
