Northern British Coiumbia Reiied Up- on by Veteran Prospector for Gold and Silver A Vancouver journal says: "Jim- my" Moore, the veteran prospector of British Columbia, whose hills he roamed for 60 years. would like to see the Pacific Great Eastern extend from Vancouver to the northwestern point in thisprovince. “I do so.” he writes, “as I know the great mineral resources of this northern country in gold, c0pper silver, zinc. iron. coal and rare metals, as well as large stretches of bunch grass country. and I may say here that the Cassiar dis- trict, when once opened up with rail- ,way transportation, will be the great- Ere-mining district of British Colum , ;a." Mr. Moore writes: “In support of this View I may be allowed to call due attention to the report of such an eminent authority as Dr. G. M. Dav;- son, who visited the northern distria-t in 1878. He gives in detail favorabie opinions on the great potential wealth of the whole territory and. remark- able finds of rich ore. -â€"-- lain-*1 1“. "-V .â€"_v “Walker Creek is another unexplor- ed territory for mineral. } have seen at Telegraph Creek some very rich samples of cepper ore from this creek. If the government of British Joluni- bia would get interested in opening up this rich and extensive mineral district of (.assiar with railroad trans- portation,” continues Mr. l'IOOFe, “they would open up the richest and most extensive mineral district known in the province.” Many Kinds of Ores Seen “There is an abundance of wood and water," says Mr. Moore, "matters of great importance in connection with mining. Means of railway trans portation once provided, mine-opera- .tions shouid be carried on here at less cost than in dry, woodless re- gions such as are great portions of Arizona. On my last trip to the (fas- siar district (1907), 1 met at Tele- graph Creek a very intelligent pros- pector, W. P. Ball. one 01' the very few prospectors in the ()assiar district at that date, who said to me that ‘east “ " â€" T-i-A mu: orniflt n.“ Hashim I i U i i i that date, who said to me that 'G'clb“. of Dease Lake and south of Haskin Mountain for 100 miles in extent the country is practically unexplored, but what is known of it has shown sur- face croppings of copper, silver and gold ores.’ 3dr. Ball also said that the head of the Iskoot River he consider- ed one of the best districts in (las- siar to prospect for copper, gold. sil- ver, nickel and iron. The lower part of this river was formerly worked for placer gold. He also considers that in this section is a low pass that could ibe used for railway construction from lHazelton to the ”‘tikine River."

As would be expected, the varieties of soil in Canada range from the most fertile that may be foundl anywhere in the world to soils that are so poor that any attempt at ordin- ary methods of farming would be hopelessly unsuccessful. As each class of soil requires different chemical treatment, it is obvious that the work of the Central Experimental Farm, with its many branches throughout the Dominion has had a large amount of work to do in analysing the soils of each locality and prescribing a fer- .tilizer which would make up for any ideficiency that existed in the soil as found or to replace the necessary ele- ments that have been taken out of the soil by growing one kind of product continuously. .. _ c 1. ‘9'1_..- con“;na UV The need of added fertilizer varies according to the locality, fertilizers having little use in the West where the largest and most continuous areas ‘ of soil are found. In fact the alluvial prairie land of the Red River valley is a veritable mine of plant food, the natural fertility of which would be difficult to exaggerate- In the older provinces, however, where the land has usually been worked for many years without the application of any kind of assistance to the soil is at once apparent in order that the soil m2. y be raised to a high state of productivity.

It read as follows: “The Philadelphia writers are of the Opinion that Man- ager Billy Nash of the Quakers had picked up a jewel in Outflelder Phil Geier, but they are not so sure about Lajoie, the first baseman secured from the Fall River club in the same deal. So capable a leader as Frank Selee, of Boston, looked over Lajole ; before Nash got him and turned him “L-_A -â€" ‘A WAVIV - â€"â€" V â€" down because he didn’t shape up t0} the standard of a major league bats-1 man. Just now Lajoie is hitting pret. ty well, but wait until the pitchers discover his weakness.” This shows that the boys of many years ago were a trifle out. Speaking of the biter be- mg bitten, one can appreciate the comedy in the following item which appeared somewhere about 1902: “Is it any wonder that the Giants keep down in the second division year after year when Andrew Fredman, the own- , er of the club, trades a star like Rusie I for an untried youngster like Mathew- inconvenience by means of a loop- ed handle projecting from its shank, which makes the catch easy to oper- ate.

Briand, the famous French Statesman, was. proud of his humble origin and early struggles. The son of the keeper of a small cafe at St. Nazaire, he began his journalistic ca- reer on a small Labor journal, and SO straitened were his circumstances that once, when invited to lecture at Rennes, he had to reply: “Impossible to come. .\'0 boots.” The promoters. ~(rather than miss the lecture, forward- .ed the price of suitable footgear. Tragedy of South Pole The South Pole was discovered by Roald Amundsen, the Norwegian ex- plorer, Who reached it on December 16, l911. Robert Falcon Scott, the English naval ofiicer and explorer, reached the South Pole ‘on Januaryx 18, 1912, only to find the Norwegian flag and records left by Amundsen.
