Marquis Marco Doris, of Rome, Italy, Spent yesterday In the city enquii'lug Into Iho situation 'hereabouts as a prolll- able field for his countrymen to emigrate to. The marquis is a young -man of prepossessing appearance and pleasing ad- dr.-.'ss, who very favorably impressed all Nelson people ho came In contact with' yesterday. A year or so ago he was sent to Canada by the Italian government on a special mission of importance, chiefly to arrange with the authorities at Ottawa for better trade relations between Canada and Italy. The marquis . has reported to hla government the result of his labors at Ottawa and it is understood that his mission has been entirely successful. During his stay In this country he made his headquarters at Montreal but spent a great deal of his time at Ottawa ln conference with the ministers and others in connection with his special work. While his special work was ln progress ths marquis visited all over Ontario and Quebec, end later came to Manitoba and the new western provinces. Then he went to the coast and la now here on his return trip to. Montreal for which elty he leaves this morning. Speaking to a reporter of The Dally News last evening, the visitor said: "My special work, wnlch brought me to this country, being over I have occupied myself with visiting all parte of the dominion, except the Maritime provinces, and I hope to visit New Brunswick and Nova Scotia before returning to Borne, If I can make time to do bo. My chief object Ib to ascertain aa far as 1 can whero our people are likely to do h°st In Canamvand to ao advise our go»ei n-1 ment. Frankly I am delighted with Nelson. I had no Idea that a city of its site existed In the mountains or that I should find a place having, not merely auoh excellent modern facilities of all kinds, but so many kindly, courteous inhabitants who seem so pleased to afford a visitor, like* myself, every possible means of obtaining correct aud thoroughly reliable Information. "I spent some hours with the secretary of your progressive 20,004 club this. morning, and thiB afternoon I bad tlie pleasure of a trip on the lake to Mr. Johnstone's fruit ranch. The number of launches in commission here suprlaed me and Ib, I think, Indicative of the spirit of the people of. your charming city. I tasted some apples today tbat exceeded In fineness of flavor tbe fruit of California, and I was delighted wllh all that I saw at Mr. Johnstone's ranch. It Is clear that you can grow not only very fine fruit here, but plenty of It, If what I saw today ls a fair specimen of what oan be accomplished. ' . "My fellow countrymen, as of course you know, take very kindly and naturally to gardening and fruit growing and I am satisfied from what I have seen that they would dp very well In. the Kootenays where I 'Understand the1 climate Is moderate the year round; I think very possibly mat a fairly good number of "Italians can be induced lo purchase 'lands here and settle down lo cultivate them it the price and condi tlons of purchase are placed within their reach. In turn they would induce others to come here to help cultivate the fruit lands and lti time to become owners themselves, The admitted scarcity of laborers, those who are capable and willing to work for wages, all over Canada, and especially here In the west, has mads a deep Impression upon me. Perhaps we can help ourselves and assist tho situation here without hur.,ng anyone, but on the contrary, supplying an element you appear to be greatly In need of to cultivate your fruit ranches successfully. I can not say at the moment just what steps wlll be taken but I shall cer- ! tai-ily report very favorably aud, .In. : deed, enthusiastically of your district , from a fruit growing point of view and - I shall take away with me very kindly recollections of my brief visit to your .

MARTIN FOR SUPREME COURT Victoria, Aug. 21—A report Is In circulation here that Mr. justice Martin Is likely to be elevated to the supreme court bench of Canada* It was announced some days ago si Ottawa that the appointment would probably go to a western Jurist. While his lordship can hardly ibe described as a popular Judge, he Is recognised as one of the soundest lawyers In Canada.

AUGUST tt, 1808 NO. 1W4 HND EIGHT SIMONS! Grim Relic of Valencia Wreck Lodged in a Cave. lie Missing Lifeboat I* Discovered at Last wllh its Awful Burden of Ha* Mi Ratios. (Special to The Daily News) Victoria, Aug. 21.-*Intact and little damaged, a life boat of ihe long wracked steamer Valencia Is lying in a wind- worn cave, nol far from CspeCnrmanuh. With the boat, eight skeletons mutely attest tbat in it there found a way to apparent safety tbls number, if not more, of .passengers and crew. A terrible anticlimax of last January's great tragedy Is the story now told ln this circumstantial evidence. The boat and those who left the wreck ln her evidently succeeded in reaching a seeming haven after their cruel sufferings, there but. to endure an agony of waiting and after that lingering death, because of inadequate search of the precipitous shores. The news Is told In telegrams from Carnianah today, which state that a pontoon also escaped the general destruction and decorates the wave-worn floor of another cavern, accessible irom tbe sea. Whether or not human remains proclaim a parallel tragedy in connection with this recovered pontoon remains to be disclosed -by investigations that are now going on. The pontoon, Carmanah dispatches report, Is easily recoverable, but it will be rather more difficult to secure the boat. One of the caves presents a conspicuous entrance, the reef being fifty feet high, the .chamber measuring two hundred feet long. The boat Ib bo little damaged that the natives, although aware of ita posiilm months ago, kept their discovery quiet, intending to secure the craft when opportunity favored. The same observant Indians counted tbe eight skeletons in the cave with the undamaged boat, and so reported yesterday to light-house keeper Daykin of Carmanah.- The latter official's two sons were recently around and over the wreck of the lost steamer and say her ungines could now he very conveniently recovered, together with other valuable debris. The finding of this boat removes the mystery that until now has surrounded the fate of life-boat number 2, which it undoubtedly is. During the examination of witnesses, at the Canadian official inquiry conducted by captain Gnu- din, lt was made positive that tbe boat number 2 got safely away from tlie breaking steamer and was seen to work from the vessel, making fair headway seaward. The inquiry dosed leaving the unsolved fate of the boat one at tlte mysteries of the calamity.

Chicago, Aug. 21.—-Further evidence of peace negotiations between John Alexander Dowle' and Wilbur Olenn Voliva and his followers came out at two meetings held in Zlon City on Sunday. It was Dowle's day at tha tabernacle, but tbe "First Apostle" failed to appear. For the first time since the differences arose between Dowle and Voliva the general overseer prayed for Dowle and ask- the people to do the same. They were asked to' pray that Dowle be guided aright in .any step he was about to take. According to the Inter-Ocean, au agreement was reached Sunday by which Dowle will for the remainder of his life remain the "First Apostle" of the Christian Catholic church, while the temporal affairs of the community will be in the hands of Voliva and! hia supporters. Dowle also agreed to give his tentative support to Voliva In his campaign for the place of general ovorseer ai. the election ordered by the court for next month. In return for this Voliva and hts friends promised that so soon as the office of general overseer is vested In Voliva, the latter will proclaim his faith In the teachings of Dowie and acknowledge his supremacy In all matters pertaining to the church.

Brock of the geological survey, hijs returned to this city after a visit to Franklin camp whloh he had not seen since 1900. Knowing that since his last visit the country had been burnt over and that a considerable amount of development work had been done on 'he various properties in the camp, your correspondent asked Mr. Brock aa to his Impressions of the section at this time. "Now that -the green timber Is off, the ■boundaries are more easy to define,' he replied. '-Formerly there was necessarily a good deal of guess work with a rock showing up here and there amongst the timber, but oue-can see'lite whole country more clearly now. -For one thing, I find there Is more limestone In the district than I formerly thought. It consists largely of altered limestone In the form of green lime silicate*!." Regarding the outcropplngs of magnetic iron, which occurs in various portions of the camp, notably in the McKInley and In the Gloucester group, Mr. Brock thouj-ht it likely that the ore would hold In depth. "Of course," he said, 'it Is hard to it'll from the Utile one can see now as to the way they lie. These bodies nf Iron may run to faults a good deal, but the chance** aro even for good sized masses," Ho considered the ground throughout tho camp good from the mlneralogtcul standpoint, und referred to thc satisfactory way In which Ihe MoKlnley was developing. Mr. Brock's newspaper experience back In IMG has not only given him n goon training in Ihe way of Judging men, bul was post'-d him on the wily art of interviewing, lie knows tho snures set for the victim and is himself too cautions to be drawn by lea>t* Ing questions. He suggested, wllh a laugh. that It would hardly be fair, anyway, io anticipate anything he might havo to re*. port later on, and which rightly belong-:.-) to the survey, "However," he added, "I hope the summary report will he out nui-'h earlier this year, and lt Is possible that Information of this sort may be publish) -l' ln the bulletin form which the press I > receiving from time to lime from the deportment. " Mr. Brock is emphatic as to tho danger of delaying development of new mineral districts by reason of prohibitory price*- asked for their properties by prospeotoi-*'. "I have a warm side for tho prospector, and recognise fully the value of his plu- neer work. But In Franklin and camps of a similar character, a large amount of time and money ts needed to really show whether mineral exists In quantities which go to make a mine. My own feeling i*-* that if a prospector wants a big price foi* bis property he should ibe prepared to glv*- very favorable terms, terms which would give those who are taking hold of th" claim ample time to explore and prove l* up. Of course, If he wants cosh, theu he should be content to take a smaller figure. Some risk has to be run and the prospector must share that risk If a oountry Is to be developed at alt," , -Mr. Brock has been engaged now for two summers at work of preparing material*-* for a topographical and geological map of the Rosland camp, and left yesterday to contlnuo the work, which will be closed at tho end of this season. W. 11. Boyd will attend to the topographical part; Dr. Young .will mark tho surface distribution of the rocks and Mr. Brock himself ti studying thc lodes and underground geology.

Horace Waters lutirily Kill*-, in Trill Colliti«a~Uc Was to Have Been Married Here on Sept. 5th. (Specl.1 to Tbo Dally N.w.) Winnipeg, Aug. JI.—Horace Water* was Instantly killed and six others slightly Injured In a wreck on the Winnipeg Beach branch yesterday, when an extra excursion train collided with the regular Beach train, Waters' body wss caught between the tender and engine and cut in two, the remains being so badly crushed that they could not be removed from tlio ruins or identified until tbls morning. It ia supposed that Waters was riding on the locomotive, although the engineer ot the wrecked engine denies his presence there. Deceased was 22 years old,and a native of Stratford, Ontario. Prior to his death he bad been engaged in malting preparations for marriage, which was to have occurred during the month of September. He had bean in the service ot the Canadian Paclflc rnllway for eight years, beginning with the company In the land department ln 1898, and shortly afterwards spent some time In vice-president Whyte's office. He was transferred thence to Nelson, B. C, and from Nelson went to the Irrigation department at Calgary. In 1904 he came to Winnipeg as private secretary to Mr. Whyte, and in June last was made chief clerk in charge of the general offices ot the. second vice- president He waa highly respected. The accident was caused by the misunderstanding ot orders by engineer Men- "*••*•; _•_ ..; ».i JLM-* The sad news of Mr. Waters' sudden death reached this olty yesterday afternoon and created a deep Impression. Not only was the deceased gentleman well and favorably known here, but his* approaching marriage to 'Miss Olgut, eldest daughter of E. F. Glgot general manager of -the Hudson's ' Bay stores here, was generally known and this fact naturally evoked many expressions of regret' for the tragic occurrence and sympathy for the lady and her relatives. The. marriage was to have taken place here on September Sth and all preparations for the event were In progress when the sad news arrived. Five years ago lhe lata Mr. Waters came to Nelson and lived here for some time, being employed with Mr. Taylor In tbo local C. P. R.'s land office. When the Nelson land office of the company was closed up about two years ago, Mr. Waters was moved to Calgary where he was employed In tbe C. P. II. land office In.that city under Mr. Dennis. Some two years, ago be was moved to the Winnipeg office of the C. P. R. and wus secretary to William Whyte, second vice-president of tlie company. On July 2nd be was promoted and made chief clerk to Mr. Whyte. During his residence In Nelson the late Mr. Waters made many friends, and the news of his sudden taking away, coupled with his approaching marriage, has created a feeling of keen sympathy for tbe stricken home In tbls city. Mr. Olgut, who was seen at bis residence on Latimer street last evening stated that the only particulars he had received were contained in a sympathetic, telegraph message from Mr. William Whyle received here yesterday afternoon. Mr. Whyte's message, addressed to Mr. Olgot, reads as follows: Winnipeg, Aug. 21st, 1906. It ls with the greatest regret that I convey to you, advice of an accident to two ot our excursion trains on our Winnipeg branch last evening, through which Mr. Horace Waters ot my offlco staff waa Instantly killed Thero ts little one can say under such circumstances, beyond assuring you that a very wide circle ot his business associates deeply deplore the termination of a promising career, and the loss of a life much prized by all who knew him. W. WHYTE. Mr. Waters was killed on Monday evening Just two weeks from which date he was expected to arrive In this city for the approaching wedding. at tiie Mckinley Systematic Development Work ln Franklin Camp (Special to Th. Dally News) tirand Forks, Auk* 21—dt U a wurce ot gratification to everyone Interested In .ho progress of mining ln the Boundary to observe tb. careful und systematic way In whloh. th. development of the McKInley mine at Franklin camp Is proceeding. Tbe work during this year hns been ohlefly surface stripping, which led to tbe ex- pomir. recently of a larg-o body of magnetic Iron, In one place 2m feet In depth and 10 feet wide. In addition to this surface work some SKK1 feel of diamond drilling haa been accomplished. The work altogether, roughly estimated, consists of ■MM) feet of tunnel and crosecuts, top-other wtth she surface exposures comprising about eight open cut. varying from 10 te » feat wll* and from U to 90 feet In depth, with a length of from ICO to 200 feet. Yesterday A. B. Mackenzie of Ross- lund was In the city and wut In consultation wllh superintendent A, I>. McPhee and L. A. Stabler of Uutle, a. mining- engineer, who left lliln morning for Franklin' for the purpose of .surveying the work already done und of assisting Mr. McPhee In laying out future work. It ls probable thut Mr. McPhee wlll remain at tho ?dc- Klnloy for some time. ; One of ithe diamond drills Is now being moved to the Banner claim, on which the McKInley company propose to do a lot of work and the other drill remains In the McKInley. After going thoroughly over the ground including some of the adjoining claims under bond to the McKInley com-' puny, Messrs. Stabler and McPhee will decide on what line the work wlll be prosecuted, und contracts will -be given for more drill (work. Those Interested ln the property are evidently averse to noisy advertising, and simply -wish to quietly and systematically develop the MoKlnley along practical and scientific lines with the determination of proving as expedltously ua posable the size and extent of the ore bodies Which huve already been shown to exist. The work Is proceeding steadily and satisfactorily. The actual results of the diamond drilling aro of course not mode known, but lt moy be assumed from tbe present plan of operations that the management has every reason to hope that the McKInley will prove worthy of taking Its place In the ranks of tlie big producers of copper within u measurable space of time.

Magnificent and magnanimous almost to the point of daring, but perhaps leas judicious and commendable than magnlilcent, Is Uie British liberal government'! plan for granting autonomy to the former Transvaal republic, now the Vaal river colony. In spite of the warning of ardent Imperialists, In spite, too, ot the protests from thousands of South African loyalists who fear the Indignities and danger certain to be attendant noon a return of Boer domination, premier Campbell-Bannerman and bis colleagues propose not only to make Briton and Boer equal In the sight of the law nnd endow them both with the same electoral privileges, but to permit the perpetuation, of the Dutch language In South /Africa Just as the French language has been officially recognised and fostered in -Canada Theae are tie two vital " planks of the autonomy proposals and | undoubtedly aroud these two the coming Htrutgle ln the Imperial houn will can- Ire. To the tint no true Canadian, no true Briton, can consistently object since tor the selfsame principle streams of rich blood have been shed on both shores of the Atlantic In the long drawn out struggle for constitutional and representative government But tbe second will be viewed In a far difTerenl light by those who have studied the political history of British North America and who have noted bow easy It is for the division of tongues to foster a division of Ideals, of Interests and of policies. However well fitted we may consider ourselves to offer advice on this point, It is not seemly for Canada to Interfere too actively In the coming debate, nor, aa the eastern conservative press urges, to demand a right to be heard in the councils at Westminster. After all, the imperial government bas had a very difficult task, not only to conciliate as far as possible the Boer population of South Africa, but to hold the allegiance of the extreme section of its own party at home and a large and Influential body of British liberals has always looked upon the Boer war with anything but enthusiasm and naturally even yet feels Inclined to exalt the empire's quondam enemy more highly than Canadians think ls right. Nevertheless, ill-timed and Injudicious though lis past expressions has been, that section of the liberal party Is so strong that It can both require and force attention; and that Its Influence has been ftMifed in shaping the proposed legislation there can he no room for doubt Following are tbe heads of the new constitution briefly stated and srrang- ROYAL BANK OF CANADA TOTAL A8B-BTI, fUflXtf* HEAD OFFICE: HALIFAX, N.

In the main the British party must rely for its strength upon Pretoria and tbe Rand for some years'to come, until the development of the country gradually brings the outside British communities Into fuller growth and entitles them by their Increased numbers to become constituencies and return representatives of their own choice. ! There are many raatcal differences between the new constitution and the Lyt- telton constitution, which Is superseded The latter proposed an assembly of thirty-live elected members, with six or nine nominated members. The constituencies were to be new districts of equal electorial strength, mapped by three commissioners, who were 10 give due consideration to existing administrative boundaries, to community or diversity ot Interest, to means of communication, and to physical features. The voters were to be the old burghers, all white male British subjects, aged twenty-one, who had occupied for six months premises worth £100, or of the annual value of £10, or had received In the six months preceding registration salary or wages at the rate of £100 a year. Discussion was to he In English, except by permission of the president, who was to be the lieutenant-governor, and ln his absence either a member appointed by him or the senior member present—a wlss provision as compared with the dual language one which under the Campbell- Bannerman regime replaces that framed by Mr. Lyttleton and which, ln our opinion, throws open the door for unending future strife and bitterness. EDITORIAL NOTES. That delicious lunch delicacy, the British Columbia and Puget Sound sock- eye salmon, will be dearer this year than usual as the salmon were coy and hard to catch. The total pack ot the Fraser river canneries for the season ls 160,107 cases, which is 200,000 less thau It was four years ago, that being the way comparisons are made regarding sockeyes, which are supposed to run about the same quaarennlally. The total pack on Puget Sound Is estimated to be about 150,000 cases, and that likewise is 200,000 less than in 1902; in other words, there are 400,000 cases less this season than in the year Just mentioned. For a few lucky fishermen who tolled nights and caught more than the average the season has been a good one, for the high price, ranging from 25 cents to 40 cents per fish, made up for the scarcity, but the cannerymen talk ot it as a season without profit, while some say It has been one of serious flnanclal loss. Addressing the Victoria Colonist because It Is a tory organ, Mr. T. R. Lowery of Nelson writes: -'As the powers at Ottawa have locked my Journal out of the mall sacks, I intend to stop the Claim In September and hie me to the South In order to chaw tbe red back 10 my lily-white cheeks. Liberty seems to be dying in Canada as It is the only country on earth that has shut my paper out of the malls. If I was a grit and a grafter this story might never have been told." According to the formula of certain religious organizations, the subject of the Claim, its life and death, were best "dropped in silence," Referring lo the recent statement of professor Goldwln Smith, that the French Canadians are opposed to British Imperialism, the London Globe soys that such wild utterances lower the dignity of the professor, and, what Is of more Importance, give a handle for the arguments of Little Englanders on the European side of the Atlantic, which those pernicious persons are not slow to use. Goldwln Smith is a credit to Canada and to the empire except on one or. two of his w.eaker points land even there he is so eloquent ln his weakness that he can be forgiven. The Olobe need not worry; his pet fallacies are too well known to cause any serious trouble. The state board of health of Indiana has decreed against kissing In all Btate schools. This Is said to be only a preliminary to a general prohibition. It Is predicted that future candidates ror the legislature will be Interviewed by committees, from the antl-osculatlon society and asked to pledge their support to'high kissing license fees or total prohibition, British Columbia Is not the only Canadian province where election talk Is rife, "I have tha best of reasons for bclleveing that the Manitoba elections will be held in November," said a Brandon conservative to the Winnipeg Tribune a few days ago. "Tho usual contradictions will probably be forthcoming. That will not alter the fact All along the line the govw-nment Is displaying the greatest activity. Recent appointments, too, make me believe thai the campaign ls virtually at hand." The Tribune's informant went ou to say that the opposition evidently anticipated a contest this fall, as candidates are being brought in the Held as rapidly as possible, and conventions will be held lu every riding Immediately after harvest, lt must be remembered that the Tribune's Informant was a conservative, lhe Tribune Itself ls conservative, and the Manitoba government is likewise conservative. The government of New Zealand has evidently decided to enhance its zoological resources by the Importation of moose from Canada if it can be done. Hon. R. W. Scott, Canadian secretary of state, who gets many a unique aud unexpectedo cmmunlcatlon from faraway states, has Just received from the premier of New -Zealand a request for twenty young moose. Premier Ward did uot specify the purpose for which these monarchs of the Canadian forest are required, but it is evident that the Intention'ls to introduce them into the zoological parks ot the colony, possibly with a view to their propagation eventually as a game beast, ln alt probability they would thrive well enough in the mountainous districts of New Zealand. The secretary of state, while realizing that the order is a pretty large one, has last no time in placing himself in communication with the proper provincial authorities in British Columbia, as well as with those who are most likely to assist in carrying out so unusual a commission. Premier Ward will; therefore, get his moose If they are to he had ln the dominion.

For here Is the pnrudln« of the eueker after the simple life. It le simple* mid orude; but is Immensely inter- •pMinB. • North of Edmonton, toward the. great Arctic ocean, there le a stretch of country thousands or miles long and* thousands Of miles -ride, where the foot of White man has scarcely pressed. It 4* (he treat unknown wilderness of.the North American continent; the "Darker Africa." or th*. new -world. I aay -H la the spot where the foot of White man has scarcely pressed: I might add that there are areas greater than the state of Washington where white man has novel* been. The- courae followed by th-r-oe-who have traversed this vast unknown haa been along the toanke of) rivers and- lakes abounding ln< -that -territory, the' fact "that thtf Grand Ti-iihli Paclflc and'the Canadian Northern railroads are now penetrating ths district from Winnipeg to Edmonton, and are stretching steel rails westward toward the' Pacific, brings it his great country Into prominence and the natural question Is, what does this great country, offer to commerce and enterprise? Here are mllHons of acres-of land, but what does lt hold out to the industry of .the world? The most Interesting feature or thin wild country at the present time is the Indian who inhabits It. And he -is wondrously interesting. A hundred yeara.dealing-with the<-Hudson's Bay company and life with -the mlssionaHss sent- out from -England, has made the Indian honest, respectful and religious. It has -been the motto of. the Hudson's-Bay oompany to deal squarely with the Indian and thus hold hts trade. In many cases, in faot, you will find full blooded Indians, doing the business at these Hudson's Bay posts, They have their system of bookkeeping^ their medium of trade and their system of business, Skins serve as money and* the dollar bill looks about-the same to-the Indian as a blank piece sf- paper1 does toi the 'White man. A skin Is valued from 26 cents to a dollar, and it will purohase just that amount In value at the trading-post.- The Indian- buys his olothlng and- provisions from the trading post, giving skins ln ex- * change, Just the Bame as we exchange the Silver dollar -for provisions at our stores. The Indian wants ho money. Wheh he needs anything all he has lo do is to go out Into the forest and kilt his game. The hide gives him his living. The only poor Indian Is- the one without'Weapon with -which to slay his game. One curious and extremely Interesting bit of Indian.life. Is emphasised at night, before the simple child of the lake and forest lies down by his camp flre to sleep. When the work of the day is over and the sun creeps over ihe mountains, the Indian kneels beside the flre and repeats the evening prayer taught him hy the missionary. 'Tis the same every evening. The faith and honesty with Which the Indian performs thin sacred duty is Inspiring. Of the country there; Is' much to say. It Is rich in natural wonders. Northward aa one goes from Edmonton Is found the finest soli for wheat, flax and kindred products that Is known in the world. The soil ls exceptionally rich, deep and productive. Hera there are Immense areas whloh are unooupted and It is a paradise for the farmer. Some day when the railways have opened the country toward the Arotio, this wilt be the home of agricultural prosperity. This' stretch, as one leaves the Rocky mountains, in not heavily timbered. Bpfuce, older and cotton wood predominate. The district ut well watered; Some lakes arc aa broad and expansive as the great lakes forming thenorthern border of the United States. About 29 miles trom Edmonton the coun try 'begins to slope toward the Arctic 1. ls an immense watershed and is traversed toy the Mack-sink- river, which carries more silt and annually deposits more sediment at Its mouth thun any other river ln the world, excepting possibly, the Ama- soii, thc extent* of which haa never been estimated by engineers, .Numerous other rivers bring the water from the Rookies and the low hills in the oountry, to the McKenzle, each irrigating a rich district of its own. Here the Indians have cultivated wheat for scores of years, the Hudson's Bay company' having Instilled this Idea of thrift Into them. The grass In this country Is exceptionally strong and healthy and the potatoes and other garden products are hardy. The geological formation of the country is Interesting when one takes Into consideration the proximity of the Stocky mountains. The surface Is either sandy or of An« loam. Underlying this Is a lime stone formation, laid down during the carboniferous'period, and at the same time as the great coal deposits of the eastern part ol the United States. This -formation Is fos- slllferoue and rich ln bituminous matter. And again under this limestone formation ls a voicanU-t granite similar to the one found ln the lake Superior district. In fact the formation seems to be a continuation from the great lakes,-Btreichlng from lake .Superior1 to-*th« Rockies and hundreds of mllea wide. Mlnerally the country cannot be said to be productive of the precious metals. Its formation being more like that of Pennsylvania. Immense beds of ooal are found there and < the bituminous matter found In the Immense fcreos of tha Ume stone formation Is used considerably by the Indians tor fuel. About EO miles from Edmonton there have been discovered some exceptionally fine deposits of salt, clear as glass and pleasant to the taste. Along the rivers and lakes natural gns and oil have been discovered In Immense quantities. The engineer of a railroad com-' pany Who spent several weeks surveying for hla company along one of the rivers, said that he noticed the bubbling from the water and -recognised the-strong odor of gas. To make sure that he was right in Jilfi calculations, he lighted, a piece of pa* per and threw It on the water. Instantly the gas Ignited and he bod the pleasure of seeing a Are dunce,^asj.h© tongues of flame shot upward, but his "experiment necessitated his getting the boat he was in out of the water as quickly eM possible. The lire played upon the top of tha waiter In a most fantastic manner and could only be extinguished by violent agitation of the water. At Edmonton one can see some very fine specimens of sand permeated wlth„natura! oil-- and -those who have- been In these fields say there are Immense areas which are covered ln this way. The Indians'-for years have used this sand formation fur fire purposes, the sand carrying about 30 per cent of oil, which burns freely.. Here, too, may be found great wells of crude oil, which has seeped through' the soil to the surface 'and whloh Is very heavy ln body. .The Indians have learned the value of this and those living In the dlstrlot have their "flre mud/' -the name they give to this crude necessity and one upon which they can depend.' . ■■• - . ■ •a.-w; Minard'i Uqlmntt Our* Cargrf.ln Oowt MAKE HAT WHILE THE BUN UHlWIlW There Is a lesson in the, work of the thrifty farmer.
