Rat P()BTAOh.0iit„lan.3—Within the last few weeks a few developments in mining matters here have had a splendid effect on this district, It is now believed by many far-sighted men here that the depression which hns prevailed here, in common wilh other western towns, will soon he raised, There is hardly any doubt that the coming summer will witness the opening up nf several of the properties recently dosed down, simply from lack of capital, and the development ol several new properties. Although it is not the policy of the management, ot the Sultana to give out any information concerning ils wanking, il has heen learned on the ln-jil authority that they have si,.-i': not only the largest, but lhe richest ore body yet met with iii the history of lhc mine. Since lhe new company look bold of the property, they have devoted their attention almosl wholly lo development, and the result is, to say the least, ore enough to last for years. The Scotch syndicale, which is developing the Moore-Black property, on the Manitoba loiindary, have struck some very rich quartz, They have sunk a number of test pits along th- lead and have got good results in each. They expect to have a mill run ready shortly. There is quite a hooin in mining north of Ignnce, A stamp mill is being erect eil nn one pioperty by 8i, Catharines people. C. P. R. VS aking Up.

Experimental Fi cms. Ottawa, December 27th, 1800. The Testing of the Vitality Of Seed at the Ottawa Experimental l-irm. To the Editor of Tiik Advance i The past season has in certain localities been unfavorable for the perfect maturing of grain. In some districts ii has been injured by rain during harvest or from being stacked hefore fully dry, thus causing il to sprout or beat, while iu oilier localities n Ins suffered mote or less from early autumn frost, When exposed to either of these conditions cereals an- apt to lose a portion of iheir vitality or t" have it so weakened as to produce when sown an unsatisfactory growth. The characterof the crop is greatly inllu led by the quality Of the seed ll-i il. and htaill the hest results ii should have iis germinating power unimpaired, so that when placed in the soil the young plants may make a prompt and vigor* nun start. Hence it is very important ihat fni mors should ascerl iln whether ihe grain they are holding for seed i ii i-si sses the vitality necessary to pro- ilme ji good crop.
