Engineers of the road had easel“ trouble in maintaining the approach to the CWhia"- ing of the river owing to the continual sliding of the clay: of which the banks are composed. Now it appears, after examination, that these clays, of which there is an enormous quantity, are valuable for the manufacture of brick and tile drain, and may in time give birth to an industry, the traffle of which should wmpemate the rail- road fur some of the trouble it has experienced.

It now becomes evident to the thinking man that the returns from this source, if any, will be ttlow in up- pearing, and that the work of [ros- pecting and developing will not be spectacular. There is, however, no reason to feel disappointed. There is no more excuse for a re-action now than there was for a boom last spring. The fact is, there never was any justi- fication for jumping at conclusions of enormous returns. Only a beginning has been made and serious prxtspecring is hardly yet in full swing. The field has by no means been tested, and those in a position to hand a sane forecast are exceedingly optimistic. resources, as already referred lo, and the great possibilities, more within the reach of the man of limited capital, of d'tsmyyering valuable deposits of Placer gold, gold-bearing quartz and silver, lead, zinc, copper and iron ores. A large number of prospectors, attracted to the district by the pub- licity reaming from the discovery of oil, and finding themselves unable to participate in its development, have: spread to the north, east and west in' search cf minerals offering quicker re- turns. Already several promising dis- l coveries have been reported, and it is' just possible that directly or indirect-), ly the oil stampede may result in the' opening up of one of the greatest, mining areas of the north. Among these prospectors are found some of, the most experienced men of the Klon-l dike and other famous fields.
