The outstanding features of the Sydney district are its iron and steel and coal mining industries. Its iron and stool industries aro located at Sydney and Sydney Mines, it being _ Aâ€"m‘l‘n‘ hwy 3"“ . in this I'PSpOCt the most important in the Dominion. \s a coal mining centre it is the largest in the Prov- ince of Nova Scotia, 75 to 80 nor cent. of tho total output coming from the minors in tho dist1ict.the quantity last war being 0 001.737 long tons. ”no conrorn alone (the Dominion Coal Company, an asm‘miate of the Dominion Steel Corporation) has 18 rolliorics in (moration. But tho inâ€" «lustl‘ial :icthitios of the district are fin no moans mnfinml to Hlt‘ [inducâ€" tion of iron, stool and coal. among its other important industries hiring those ammrtuining to tho iislmrios, lumbor, Shippili". wood and ironâ€" ,working plants and agriculture. 'I‘ln- lemn of Swarm-3: Rhinos. which has a population of 7.500. is located on tho Nortlnwst point of Sydney hurhm' whm'v it joins tho Atlantir ”cw-an. As: may 1w readily gnthprpd from tho lath-r part. of its nunw. tho town is an important mining router. 'l‘hv fart that Hw output of coal from llw minos in the district. avm‘agos about 900.000 tons annually is proof of this. It is also tlw silo of one of the plants of tho Nova Scotia Steel and Coal Company, Lifnitml. tho equipment being blast f m‘nacos, open lwarth stool furnaces. coke ovens. vaginwving shops, coal washers, etc. The steel billots produced hove aro shipped to the forging plant of the company at New Glasgow. The steel capacity of the plant. is 100.000 tons a year. North Sydney, between which and Sydney Mines there is a distance of only about three miles, is of particâ€" ular importance as a shipping port. in connection with which it is eâ€" quipped with extensive docks fur- nished with the most modern faciliâ€" ties for shipping coal and receiving iron ore, the latter coming from the mines in Conception Bay, Newfoundâ€" land, owned and operated by the Nova Scotia Steel and Coal Company. ,North Sydney is the port of depart- §iire for the steamship line daily 'sailing direct to Port aux Basques, Newfoundland, a distance of about 90 miles and which is covered in' about. six hours. At Port aux Bas- ques there is a railway connecting with St. John’s, the capital of New- foundland. There is also an excelâ€" lent ferry service Operating between North Sydney and Sydney. The pep- ulation of North Sydney is 5.500. The residential part of the town is well built and there are some fine old houses along the waterfront. WITH THE WEEKLY PRESS (Continued from, page i.) I The, City of Sydney is situated on a peninsula jutting into Sydney har- bor at its southern extremity. being flanked on one side by what is‘ known as the South Arm. Sydney is‘ particularly noted as the site of the big steel plant of the Dominion Steel Corporation. It is only within the last twenty years that Sydney has iobtained importance in respect to this particular industry. In the meantime it has grown from a town of 3,000 tn a city with a population of 28,000,_ and, in addition to its manâ€" ufacturing importance, is a large wholesale distributinrrentre. 'l‘hp outstanding fignro in bringing about the creation of tho now fam- ous and extensivo iron find steel plants in Operation thorn wés Henry M. Whitney, a Boston capitalist, who was at the time actively interested in the coal mining industry of the district. In fact, is was largely for the purpose of creating a market close at home for the product of the coal mines, Owing to the restrictions which the New England States im- posed on Nova Scotia coal, that Mr. Whitney, 1n 1899, took the prelimin- ary steps for the creation of the present iron and steel industry, new The extent of the plant may be gathered from the fact that it covers an area of 7725 acres, employs about 5,000 men and has a payrell of $14,- 500,000. Its principal products are pig iron, steel rails, wire rods and ship plates. The last named indust- ry, which is the first of its kind in the Dominion, was only inaugurated in February, 1920, a five million dol- lar mill bovine been erected for the 53; the most important in the for the production of coke and ben- 201. The latter was started shortly after the outbreak 'or the recent war for the purpose of producing anterâ€" ial for the manufacture of high ex- plosives. an enterprise in which Thomas Edison was associated. Among other industries, Sydney has a large plant for the production of fertilizers. an enterprise in which Scotia capital is interested, and maâ€" chine shops, stove works and woodâ€" working plants. Aside from its industrial features Sydney has many attractions as a summer resort, while within the city and its suburbs are many tine homes. Glace Bay, a town with a popula- i; tion of about 17,000. is a place of many interests. Its outstanding in- I dustrial feature is its coal mines. it being in this respect the centre of v the Dominion Coal (Ximpany's operâ€" ‘- ations. giving employment to about 1 10.000 miners. There are also many other industries, among,' which are 1 those connected with the fisheries. machine. shops and woodworking : plants. while within its harbor are . located large coal-sl‘iipping docks. Glace Bay is ei'innected with Sydney both by steam and electric railway. One point, of particular ‘interest in the town is the Marconi wireless station. reputed to be the largest in the world. Louisbnrg. distant from Glace Bay about a dozen miles. eould boast in the early days of the old French re- crime of [H‘issessiniâ€"r the strongest l'm‘tl'ess on the North American (1on- tinent. and as such was the scene of more than one t'anmus battle. in 17:38 the fortress was finally subdued by \\’olt'e, who, in the following year. . was equally successt'ul in capturing | Quebec.

This is particularh true of some (if the rural routes in this district Where the farmers haw been particularly careless in this respect. The rural mail couriers say that in a great many cases where an er- ror occurs in receiving mail it is due to the absence of names on UN boxes. This is especially true where it is necessary for a strange man to take over the route. In a case of this kind it is very diil'irull for the mail to be placed in the prayer box and mistakes are un- avoidable.
