On two previous occasions within the past month the halyards of the flag had been cut. The theft of the flag, which occurred some time be- tween Saturday noon and Monday noon, brought the matter to a crisis, and as the outrage could not pos- sibly be overlooked by such a good- natured official as Mr. Graham. the matter was reported to the police. but so far without result. The aflair is rendered doubly serious owing to the international character " of Gra- ham's official position. and to the dishonor done to "Old Glory" in the hauling down from its omcial posi. tion.

A despatch from Cripple Creek, Col. snysrâ€"The greatest gold strike in the history of Cripple Creek Camp. and probably in the world. was made in Elkton mine on Wednesday. Drifting at the 700â€"foot level. 100 feet from the main shaft, the miners struck what seems to be the dome of a. great crater. the fabulous extent and richness of which is beyond belief. Five feet wide of florine talc has been opened. and neither wall has been found. This fairly glitters with sylvenite and rich quartz. The vein radiates from a, large chimney in which is e. lake, the bottom of which is unfathomable. The dome is thirty feet in diameter. The roof and sides show that this matter has been burn- cd all the way from a yellow to a. deep black. The decomposed nutter when brought to the surface showed a. blue color. It is of the substance of dough. sparkling With grains of precious metals like sand in mortar. There are hundreds of tons now in sight. The management refuses to divulge the essay of the ore, further than that it runs into the thousands of dollars per ton. This week the tables are loud“ down by o magnificent display at fruits. There are ninety-seven vor- ietiea oi grapes, 118 varieties of op- plcs. 51 varieties oi pears. 57 vario- tlcs of peaches. a fine collection oi tomatoes. English wolnutn. block walnuts. hickory auto. and at second crop oi figs. It has been frequently stated by those who have seen both that the Ontario trait exhibit at Buffalo is in: superior to that 0! Chicago. Mr. Bunting and his as- sistants may be congratulated on their success.-â€"-Martha Craig. A despatch from Ottawa say: : -- The official report of C. B. Sontum. Canada's commercml agent in Nor- way and Sweden. received on How day at the Trade and Commerce De- partment, indicates that the scarcity of water in Scandinavia is seriously curtailing the output of lumber. 80 law are the rivers that logs cannot be floated. and the saw mills have for weeks. up to date of the report, Oct. 8th. been running on half-time. Similar reports of scarcity of water have reached the agent from Ger- many and Austria. As a result prices of pulp, especially. have ud- vuncod. As indicating the. scarcity of pulp on the Continent, Mr Sontum cites a sale of 400 tons of moist at $10 per ton. (.01).. for delivery in Ger- many. The cellulose manufacturers of Europe have agreed to restrict the output. All these conditions promise better prices for Canadian pulp abroad.
