Th Ir earth with water, the current would have been carried away and the damage averted." â€"A lumunous sensation was sprang upon the world last week by the anâ€" nouncement that the Czar was conâ€" templating resigning, owing to superâ€" stitioustteelings at the want of a male heir‘! It is provoking in a diplomatic way that his cousin, Prince George and heir to the empire whkich is the great riyval to his own should be blessed with fine healthy boys, while the Czar‘s three olive branches are all â€"A writer in the current number of the Scientifican American proposes to protect cities from electrical storms by the tollowing device, which obâ€" servation bas led him c¢o believe will be effectual: *"Partial, if not full, protection to cities and towns can be obtained by the erection on the west and southwest of large copper or other metal conductors, strung upon steol or iron poles, and at intervals sunk deep into the earthâ€"where water can be reachedâ€"these heavy â€" electric conductors â€" preferably of copper. When an electrical storm strikes these conductors, it will be taken up, as is often the case in telegraph lines, where I hbhave known dozens of poles to be torn to pieces by one flash of lightning, while it made of steel and occasionably connected deep into the girls. _A French Minister M.

It is signed by Edward Blake, R. B. Halâ€" dane, Canadian Agent under the late government, W. H.

R, another of the enterprises to receive, state assistance will open up a territory rich in mineral and lumber, and give the fast growing industries of the Sault ready access to the base of supplies for their raw material.

Wilson of the Queen city, spent Sunday with his Uncle, Mr, Thos, Gray of Bunessan. Mr. Ben recently. The crops around this part are ripening fast and harvesting will soon be the order of the season. Mrs, Mitchell, of Toronto, formerly Miss Mary Firth, is spending a few weeks with her parents of Lake Cottage, Miss Anoie MeArthnr of Toronte spent Sunday with her parents in this part. It has been already pointed out in these articles that while the mineral reâ€" sources of Western Algoma are so exâ€" tensiye and valuable they do not include the whole of its riches, There are many thousands of acres of excellent farming country, the possibilities of which have been thoroughly demonstrated by the hardy pioneer settlers, who in the face of tremendous discouragementâ€"the reâ€" sult of lack of transportation facilities â€"have turned the solitary wilderness into a fruitful field. It is through this country, the possibilities of which are only now beginuning to be realized that the Ontario and Rainy River Railway will run, giving the miner the means of taking in his machinery, the farmer the facilities forcartying his products to the mining camps. and the producer of man ufactured and natural supplies on the outside easy access to a new and rapidly increasing market. The action of the Federal Government in puiting the sum of $896,000 in the list of railway subsidies for the Ontario and Rainy River Railway has placed the imâ€" mediate and rapid construction of that line beyond peradyenture, and the reâ€" sult must necessarily be the rapid develâ€" opment of a very large section of some of the most promising mineral territory of the Dominion. The Legislatiye Tour of last month could not have been betâ€" ter timed for it has afforded an opportâ€" unity to the press to make known the actual conditions existing in that counâ€" try, conditions which jpustify the expend iture of public money in its development so long as the principle prevails of rendâ€" ering aid of this kind. In addition to the gold mines which in the near future should be numbered by hundreds, there are iton deposits, second to none in the world in extent and value, particularly in the Atikâ€"Okan discrict; there are silvyer deposits that have been thoroughly tested and are once more, in the improved condition of the market, paying handsomely, beâ€" besides which copper and other valuable deposits of lesser extent are being unâ€" earthed in various parts of the section. The history of the gold mining indust ry in Algoma is instructive and signifâ€" icant. _ In 1892 the total output of the precious metal was only $36,900 while in the next two years it was considerably less, but in 1805 it rose to over $50.000, in 18906 to $122,000 and last year to $275,000, while this year the total is expected to reach the very creditable fignure of $600,000, The nulls at present running aggregate 200 stamps ayeraging two and a half tons a day each, or over 200,000 tons per anuum so that the actual out~ put recorded is considerably iess than the yvalue of the ore mined, the differâ€" ence remaining in the dumps awaiting the procsss of reduction. It is further estimated that the mines give employâ€" ment to 1,650 men whose wages amount to probably a million dollars per annum. The lack of transportation facilities has hitherto seriously handicapped the minâ€" er in the work of taking in machinery, but with the construction of a railway the needed facilities will be available and many claims that bhave hitherto been unprofitable will be rapidly opened up and become dividend paying.
