THE BEAUTIFUL SNOW, To the Editor, Ymir Mikhor Sir—Might I suggest, to all our storekeepers the propriety of keeping the snow regularly cleared off the sidewalks in front of their premises. Some of us do this, but others do nut, and the result is very disagreeable, if not dangerous. Even for appearances sake the sidewalks should be kept clean. A visitor to canir last week remarked to me that he could pick out the houses that did the business of town, although he had not been in one of them How would you do it, I asked. And the significant explanation was, "liy the snow, or absence of snow, in front You never see snow before a busy house." I hope the delinquent ones will take the hint. week, and met wilh a hearty reception, He proved his practical interest in the camp by personally interviewing its most prominent men, irrespective of their political creed, as to the requirements of the town and immediate district, Mr. Wright has every cnidi- dence in the ability of the present government to cany on successfully the business of the country.

The miner receives the theory because it explains the making of gold to him, but he often wonders how it is done, so here is what has been seen. Daintree once produced a solution of gold and left m it a small piece of metallic gold. Accidentally a piece of wood fell into the solution ; the solution decomposed, the gold assumed a metallic statu and collected and heltl to the small piece of undissolved gold, which increased in size. Another investigator heard of this and made a dilute gold solution in which he imineised a bit of iron pyrit- ies and left it there a month. He added also organic matter, and at the month's end the pynties were covered with a film of metallic gold. Pyrities and galena were next tried, and each was covered with gold. Gold, copper pyrities, arsenical pyrities and galena were also tried with similar results. Metallic precipitates were also tried, and while they threw down the gold as a metallic powder they did not cause it to cohere nor to plate any of the substances tried. Organic matter thus seemed the necessary chemical agent. Through the wood used in these experiments gold was dissiminated in fine particles. Imagine these experiments conducted by nature through ages und the result could bu a nugget ! The snow fall so far this season has been particularly light, anil the local weather prophets are promising an early spring. A merry crowd painted the town red mi Thursday evening last. They do terminai! that the old year should have a royal send-off, and they gave it. "A New Start;" will bo the subject at the Methodist church Sunday night at 7:10.

The travellers for Toronto and Montreal houses report that during the last few months they have met more American commercial travellers on the road than ever before, says Industrial Canada. Many industrial establishments of the United Btai which have l>oon indifferent Canadian orders during the la yearn because they could not All their home orders during the period of extraordinary prosperity, are now eagerly seeking business in Canada. The high tariff of the United States presents Canadian manufacturers from seeking a market for their products across the line. As the depresnion in the United States increases, the num bers of commercial travellers from the United States in Canada will multiply and Canadian travellers will lose many orders. Every Canadian commercial traveller should use all his influence to get the tariff raised. THE KEV. IUI. K.

Often they are found in large and well defined veins, and again it. seams, In nearly every instance where pockets of gold have been found careful in» vuatigution has shown that the packets occur in a vein or seam at a point where at least one Cither vein ur scam, and often two others, intersect the main vein or seam. Oases have beep noted wore pockets ooour along a line of fault which had dislocated a gold bearing vein, says tho Mining and Scientific Press. In sumo pocket mines the bunches of gold occur with noticeable regularity within a well de- fineil zone or erca along the tissure carrying them, forming what may be termed a shoot, beyond the limits of which pockets are not found. When a mine of this character has been ex. tonsiyely developed, a working map shuwing the various cuttings with the stupes where pockets were found, has the same appearance as the stupe map uf a mine where gold is evenly dis tribu ted and no pockets occur. Pockets of gold are also found in dykes or zones of slaty or schistose rocks, within well defined walls. In such cases there is usually a seriös of transverse fissures, crossing from wall to wall— in tho dykes duo possibly to shrinkage, dudying sliver lips, and bucking the ei il eiltcts of doughy bannocks and rock.

The Ontario government luis a grievance, I ts friends say that it is being accused of crimes with which it lias nothing to do, of muddling in things that are outside the field of its activities. All this is the natural result of the Ontario government's abnormal thirst for power. It would not allow the nitiuieipalities to appoint sheriffs, registrars, or license ollicials. Everything must be centred at Toronto. It happens that to-day all the important appointments connected with the administration of justice in Ontario are made either at Toronto or at Ottawa, and that the same political party is in power in both places. When the making of laws, und the administration of laws are entirely in lite hands of one political putty, it is not at all unnatural that the acts of the dominant party shou'd be keenly sei utini/.cd. The dominant party may have some good intentions, So had I »owning street in the old days, But lite good intentions of rulers are no compensation for the loss of aelf- ■.jovcinnient, and the people of to-day have a growing conviction that they uro not self governed, but ruled by an olHoe-holding combination, strongly entrenched by 32 years of domination, -Toronto World.

Wonderful Growth of the flail Order Business of The Robert Simpson Company, Limited, Toronto. SOVE INTERESTING DETAILS OF THE BIQ TORONTO STORE. Toronto ha» long been note! as the city of fine stores. With her miles of beautiful residential streets, her avenues of tress, splendid lake trait, unequalled street our service and her great department stores, such as that n' the Robert Simpson Company, her citizens possess advantages few other cities can boast. The Arm, en Mr. Simpson's death, In 1897, became a limited company, and no modern phenomenon of the business world, so far as Toronto is concerned, has occasioned more remark than the growth of the business of the Hoben Simpson Company, Large thouffh the building is and added to from time to time as it has been. The Robert Simpson Company building stands in the most prominent position In .he city, viz., the southwest corner of Queen and Tonga Stress, where, situated In the very centre of the city, It has long been one of the most familiar l,ind-marks of the town. As a specimen of modern store architecture. It stands supreme In Canada. It extends from Queen Street on the north clear through the block to Richmond Street on the south, with a long series of magnificent fröret windows on Queen, Yonge and Richmond Htreete. Counting the basement, the store numbers seven selling floors, each of whloh would provide Boom for a Regiment» Drill Manoevers- On these seven floors, in twenty'- three distinct departments, praotically everything needed In dally life, mav be bought for the lowest economical price for which a store can sell It. Experienced enterprising "buyers" ire scouring the world nearly six months of the year securing the most suitable merchandise where it Is produced best and cheapest. Quantity is no drawback. The bigger quantity bought, the lower the price. If the goods are right the Robert Simpson Company cannot take too much of them. ( The business now known an the Robert Simpson Company Limited, wnS established awny back In 1873. by the late Mr. Robert Simpson. An unequalled judge of dress goods and silks, nls store soon acquired a reputatlui for dress fabrics second to none In Canada, and that reputation has been one of the store's most valued and most carefully treasured assets ever since. Soon Tonge Street rivalled King Street in Its ettraotlveness for the ladles of Toronto, end when after the great (Ire In 1895, the new building was erected. tonge Street was Indisputably maStrf of the situation. To-day the tide of retail business flows fullest right it the corner of Queen and Yonge Streets, lo less than four blocks north of where It «entered ten years «go. In was still too small until a few weeks ago to accommodate the weaithof merchandise which comprises the Robert Simpson Company's "forward" stock. An Addition Equal to One* sixth of the Building has Just been erränget) for, by utilizing the great reserve slock room on the top HOor and shfftlng the reserve stock to an outside warehouse. This move gives room on the first tloor for th° display of the finest stock of dress goods and silks In Canada, and one of the finest on the continent.

Oh, the third floor of the Rlchmmil Street wing Is situated The Great Modern Hail Order Department which has made the name nf Robert Simpson Company Limited, fumons throughout the Dominion. It Is safe to Sfly that every post-office In Canada has done and Is doing business with this department.
