'TIIE MINES OF ONTARIO.
(ANNUAL REPORT OP THE BUR-
EAU OF NINES -

eA Recprd of Activity and Prog-
ress--Developrnent of the
Iron Industry.
The arinual report of Mr. T. W.
Gibson, Director oU Mines for 1900,
• just issued by the Department of
• Crown Lands of Ontario, affords a
gratifying indication of the contin-
uous substantial progress of the
• mining interests of •Oneterio, and the
considerable additions that have
been made recently to the fund of
available information as to our
inineral resources. The past year
has been an active and fruitful ono
in connection with the operations of
, the Bureau of Mines, owing to: the
a:marked impetus which this industry
'ear,' lately received, And, the report
• presents a variety of details of prac-
tical value to all interested in min-
ing and its dependent industries.
STATISTICS OF THE YEAR.
Turning to the 'first portion of the
report it will be found that the to-
tal value of the ,mineral output for
• 1900 amounted. to $9,298,624, as
conipared with $8,416,083 in 1899,
being an increase of 3882,541, or
about 10 per cent. The number of
emplpyees was 10,931, an increase
of 9 per cent., and the amount paid.
in wages $3,366,601, an increase of
15 per cent. over the figures for 'the
previous year. ,The chief increases
were In iron ore,' 'pig iron, , nickel,
• copper, Portland cement and petro-
leum products, while gold and natur-
al-gas showed a decrease, it is note-.
worthy that three substances appear
on the list for the first`time, viz.,
corundum felspar and steel the un-
ited output of whieh amounted to
$57,380.
IRON MINING.
The most.significant advance naa.de
during the, year has been in con-
nection with the iron industry, a
great stimul,us ha.ving been imparted
to it by the opening of the noted
IIielen mine in the Michipicoten dis-
trict. The number of iron mines in
• operation was 12, the total product
of which • was 90,302 tons of ore,
valued at $111,805, the increase
over. the product of 1899 being 73,-
.391 ton8 in quantityand 880,854 in
I value. The number of workmen em-
ployed at the iron mines was 438e
whose earnings amounted to ,$107,-
583, as ,compared with 100 men the
previous year, whose wages came to
626,700." Although the total quan-
tity of pig iron produced, 62,386
tons, was less by 2,363 tons than
the yield for 1899, there was a con-
siderable .advance in the price, so
that, the total value shows .an ine
trease of $127;9'09: Ore' from "On-
tario mines was smelted to the ' 'ex-
tent of. 22,887 tons, or 23 per cent.
Df the whole, theremainder being
• Imported from the United States.
• The !fact, that an abundant supply
of good herma.tite has' been obtained
in the: Micliipieoten dfstrict has con-
'siderably increaeed the proportion
of native 'ore, smelted. Returns'for
the first three Months of the current
year show that the percentage has
risen from 23 to 43 per cent., and it
is likely to be still larger in the fu-
ture. There were 200 workmen em-
ployed in the blast furnaces in 1899,
who earned' wages aggregating 879,-
869. In 1900 the number Of em-
ployees was 419 and the wages' paid
• 897,915. The outPUt of steel was
2,819 tons, valued at 346,380. n
'EXplorations for iron ore have
been vigorously pushed, and ranch
work done in locating deposits with
the aid of the Government Diamond
drills. An extensive iron -bearing
tract has been discovered east of
Lake .Neplgon, presenting similar
characteristics to the American iron-
• bearing region -to the south of Lake
Superior, where there -is every rea-
teen to expect that ore of a paying
.ality will be found. '-

gion has been discovered on Stur-
geon Lake, ,where free gold has-been
• found, ancl it is hoped the field may
prove a profitable one. The falling
off in the production of gold was to
some extent made up by the increas-
ed output of silver, of which 160,612
ounces were produced last year, val-
ued at, 396,867, as against 105,467
ounces, worth $65,575, in 1800.

SCIENTIFIC INVESTIGATIONS
In addition to the returns from
which the above figures are taken,
the work •comprises seVeral special
reports by -metallurgical and geolo-
gical experts on subjects connected
with mining. The unprecedented de-
velopmextt of the; 'manufacturing ac-
tivities of Sault Ste. Marie is dealt
with in a paper by Frank N. ppelter,
describing- the steel-makiug and oth-
er plants there. Prof. A. P. Cole-
man furnishes a report on the iron
ranges of the Lower Huronian, giv-
ing the latest, scientific infotmation
as to the formation of our iron -bear-
ing region. Prof. Coleman has also
a paper ef much scientific interest on
the Sea Beaches of Eastern Ontario,
showing the extent to which marine
•organic remains , are distributed in
this province. Prief. Willett G. Mil-
•ler deals with the iron ores or Ni -
pissing District. An account of the
Work performed by the Government
Assay Office at Belleville shows that
the institution has rendered appreci-
able service' to the mining industry.
The report is well got up and hand-
somely illustrated, and its compre-
hensive character and systematic ar-
rangement are creditable to the Bu-
reau of Mines, as both care and
good judgment have been evinced in
its preparation.'
AN' 'OLD-TIME ROMANCE.
How, • ivij.s_s •Grisel, Held Up the
Postman and Saved Her
Father.
The Earl of Aberdeen, speaking at
a dinner of the United Kingdom
Postal and Telegraph Service Ben-
evolent Society at .Aberdeen, said
that they had to go back t� the old
naail coach days to get the pictur-
esque aspect of the postal service,
and to 'illustrate this he, narrated a
romantic incident which occurred in
the reign of James II.—more than
200 years ago. Sir John Cochrane,
son of a fine old nobleman, Lord
Dundonald, was one of those who
thought the libertieg and interests ol
•
the country were in danger, owing
to the policy of the Governmut of
the day, and resisted it. Sir hn
was betrayed into the hands of the
eneany and was lodged in Edinburgh
jail. One night the door ezif the pri-
son opened, and he heard the voice
of his daughter Grisel, who was al-
lowed to have many talks with him.
Meanwhile' the news" canto that his
condemnation had been settled b3r
the council, and that the mail Would
come next week with his death war-
rant.' Miss Grisel' Cochrane told her
father, that she had to go away foe
eafew days. Ile said: "I hope you
Will do nothing rash," and she re-
, ,
plied that, she would do nothing, very
rash. Sh ..rba6- Irene Hclin bu rgh to
Berwick, where her old nurse lived,
and there she changed her clothes
for the clothes of a boy. Then she
rode to a place between Berwick and
Belford,- where- she made Mg i CS
regarding the King's mail messen-
gers and where they -used to put up.
, Arriving at a small inn about four
Miles' south, of Berwick, she asked
for'something to eat. The hostess
told her not to make a noise, be-
cause in the. box -bed the King's mail
messenger was asleep. "Do ' be
quiet," she,. said, "with your knife
and fork." She began her meal.
"Can you get . me ' some water ?"
The hostess said: "Why, a brave, lad
like you should sup ale." "'lave
you no cold, fresh water? If you
give me water 1 will pay you the
same as for the ale." The hostess
explainecrthat 'she would have to go
to „the well, a long distance off, and
it would take ten.rninutes, but the
girl—pr rather a the . apparent .boy —
persuaded the woman to go for the
water.' .- •
,During her absence the ,girl went
to 'the ,b6x-bed—there was the Mail-
..
enessenger asleep—a ''Svericket .fellow
With his mail hag "under his head,
tieing it for a' pillow. "On .the table
were his pigtols and very nerVously
sooner was this done than the host -
the girl witeideew the ,cliterges. No
ess returned with the water. The
girl finished her meal, went on the
road, made a circuit, and met the
mail messenger, and they rode toge-
ther a bit. After a short chat she
drew a little, nearer and said: "My
friend, I have -a fancy for this mail
bag." "If it is a joke," said the
messenger, "it is a pretty poor one."
She took out a little pistol and pre-
sented it. 'The messenger Pulled out
his pistols, and snapl—the first
missed fire. He threw it away and
• drew the other—snap! He had to
hand over the mail bag, and she
rode into an adjoining wood.
She opened the bag, drew out an
official letter, arid rode with it to
her nurse's house, _.where it was
found to contain the death warrant
of her father. ft was put into the
fire. She resumed her girl's clothes
and rode quietly to Edinburgh.
That caused • so much delay that
they manageci to get a reprieve, and
that incident, as he uriclerstood Gri-
her father, was ' saved. lie (the
speaker) had a personal interest in
sel Cochrane was a direct ancestor
of Lady Aberdeen. ,
CLEVER DOGS.
This is how dOgs outevit then -mor-
tal foe the alligator in Central, 'Bor-
neo. ' The dogs, it seems, when wish-
ing to cross a river, have consider-
able difflculty in doing so owing to
the fact that alligators find them
very toothsome morsels, They
therefore collect on the bank and
make a terrific noise by barking a,ncl
yelping as, loudly as they can. 010
alligators are attraated to the spot
by the noise, and the dogs, as soon
as they see that their bait is suc-
cessftil, set off up the bank at top
speed and cross higher tip. ' A 33or-
neo traveller states that lie has
we -lolled this manoeuvre 'times with-

TliE KING'S TELEGRAMS,
ABOUT THE SECRET CODES
'USED BaY ROYALTY.
Two or Three Dilferent Kinds Are
Employed by His Majesty.
One caa readily understand that
the King, filling the great pesdtion
he does, could not afford to let the
world, nor even perhaps his closest
friends, know what his telegrams
contain, This rule not only obtatris
with His Majesty, but also with
other members of the Royal Fam-
ily.
All _ the telegrams of royalty,
therefore, are sent in cipher, with
the exception of those messages
which are despatched to friends who
are not favored with,any of the
codes,and whose ,relatioship to the
Yeignilet family is merely that of a
friendly na,ture.
The me/fibers of the royal family
itself when wiring to one another
use one particular code, and another
to mieisters at home and abroad, or
even when telegraphing to govern-
nientai and military and naval offi-
cials. This plan makes aesurance
doubly sure and no third person
knows what is passing between the
other two.
Of course it is only on very rare
occasions that the monarch 'wires
direct to high diplomatic officials
abroad, or even to naval and mili-
tary commanders scattered in 'all
parts of the world, the various offi-
cial departments at home being re-
sponsible for such telegraphic and
cable coininunications, but the King,
who takes more than a passing in-
terest in the welfare of the Empire,
often -takes the initiative, and wires
a friendly greeting or sentiment • to
some particular friend 'representing
the' diploniatic, or the military Or
naval side of Great l3ritaiii abroad.
• But the codes, however, used by
officials of departments at home for
tho transmission of orders to offici-
als and others abroad, are different
from those employed at Windsor or
Marlborough House, though, in a few
isolated cases ambassadors are pro-
vided with the latter as well.
The King has two or three differ-
ent kinds of such cipher codes.
• ONE IS A WORD -CODE,
by which is meant a code ,in which
every word telegraphed stands for
another of an entirely _ different
meaning. As a matter of course it
woulagi be quite impossible for any-
one but those in the possession of
the key to translate the message,
yet the sender and recipient can read
it , as easily as though it were writ-
ten ordinarily.
It is a very ingenious code this,
being something more than merely
the substitution of this word for
that .One. An arrangement of the
words is followed alphabetically,
and in this itrra.ngenient lies the se-
cret meaning hidden' in the. message
The late Queen Victoria used this
particular code oftener than the 'fig-
ure code which also ;obtains at,
Windsor. The King use the former
when pfehataunicating, with any -mem-
ber of the royal family, and the
latter when he is wiring to minis-
'
•ters.
Owing to the public position which
is enjoyed by royalties and also to
the fact that there are certain hare-
brathed fanatics, and other maniacs,
roaming about the world , on the
watch for a stray royalty, it is ob-
vious that the private movements of
princesses and princes should be
kept from the knowledge of the
world, and it is equally obvious that
the - royal and imperial confide/lees
should be kept within the limits of
the purple.
• It is for these reasons, then that
the King anci his family have one
code for use among themselves, and
another exclusive code for communi-
cating with Ministers of State and
others. '
The latter is known as the figure -
code. This is an arrangement of so
many figures standing..for a word.
Thus, 12345 would -stand for one
word, but 12354.fcu an entirely dif-
ferent ,onea and a,1eo 12316, and so
on,- the,.number nit changes, which it
is passible to ring in this: Way be-,
f
nig almost endless.
,The Rime rarely sends a telegram
..IN PLAIN LANGUAGE
,
nor indeed does •any member of the
royal faniily, except it be to some-
body who does not possess the royal
key, and as such a message would in
the nature of thingsbe nothing more
important ' than royal congratula-
tions, a cipher would be unneces-
sary.
The ramifications of the diplomat-
ic world are so bewildering that it
sometimes happens that a minister
abroad. is instructed to keep His Ma-
jesty well posted in matters of
State. These messages from repre-
sentatives are , addressed to " The
King, London."'
His Majesty signs his official mes-
sages `"Edward R.I.," just as the
late Queen signed hers "Victoria R.
yut when wiring to his relatives
the message comes to a full stop
with "Beetle." Queen Victoria sign-
ed her family telegrams V.R.i."
Direct wires are laid in connection
with all the royal palaces and the
various telegraphic centres,' but guch
is the prerogative of His 'Majesty
that wherever he- might be his riles -
'sages take precedence of all others,
even those of the Queen. An extra-
ordinary amount' of care is taken to
insure absolutely accurate transmis-
sion, for being in code the slightest
slip might prove fatal. Thig is why
the receiving office repeats the mes-
sage 'back to the forwarding office
for confirmation. :Just as a pilot
engine precedes a royal train, so is
a pilot message to "clear the line"
sent in frOnt Of the King's wires,
STRANGE REQUESTS
Which Tommy Atkins' Makes in
Hi S Letters Home,
It is a strange truth that men who
aec, to a great extent, cut off from
everyday necessities, do exhibit the
most amusing craving for odd things.
Letters from soldiers at the front
have revealed this. Let a London
Traperial Volunteer bear witness.
When he wrote home to his people
lately, his letter was cheery enough!,
He seemed to be enjoying the life
hugely, Not a word of complaint,
as to the rougli life to 'which he wae
absoldieler unueed, was apparent in
the letter. But in the postscript
came this appeal:
,"Would you mind sending me a
small portable filter? The water Mit
here is like dark pea soup, mad I
should be glad of the filter to clear
the thickest of the mud out,"
And then a corporal of Coldstreams
at Modder ltiver, writing home to
his mother at Peckham: ,
"Considering the country we are
in," he said "the food isn't so bad,
and I've really no cause to cona
plain. But oh! mother, when I was
lying behind a rock all day yester-
day, waiting for a chance of potting
a Boer, 1 felt a treraendous longing
for a good dinner. Not an ordinary
dinner, 13ut one of your cooking.
Boiled pork and parsnips and peas -
pudding. Don't you remember how
used to tuck into the peas -pudding?
I always toil the chaps in my com-
pany that the officers ought to have
you for their mess -cook. IlreB, of
course you can't send peas -pudding
all the way out here, but, straight,
I'd give a week's pay for dinner, off
it now."
A little bugler of the Berkshire
Regiment wrote to a friend of his a
week or two ago:
"Dear, chum," he said, "I'm hav-
ing a jolly time, and I reckon killing
Boers is a fine thing to get the mus-
cles up ......1 wish you'd send me out
ii. mouth organ, and also a tin of
lemon blocks. Get the blocks at
Simpson's in High Street., They're
the best, thoughthey cost a penny
for eight. I'd like them to suck at
night, and, I tell you, they'd be a
treat on a night march."
There is surely something patheti-
cally humurous „in the picture of, the
boy bugler lying beneath the stars
on the lonely veldt sucking "lernim
blocks," evidently the favorite con-
fection ef his schoolboy days.
"Dear Emmy," wrote a gallant
Lancer to his sister, "I wish you'd
post out to me a tin of cold cream.
The sun out here knocks the skin of
my face to bits, and it's as sore as
it can be. Irritates and smarts in
turn like mad, so that I can't sleep
at night I haven't got a bullet
yet, but Bill— you remember Bill,
you met him on Gun Hill that day
you came down to see Inc at Alder --
shot --has got one in his right
Shoulder. But he's going ori all
right, and will be fit for service
again soon, I hear."
DREADFUL 1VIISTAIiE
BARELY AVEIITED.
T,I10,1y1AS HARRISON, OF ST.
MARY'S, N. B., MIGHT , HAVE
BEEN .OPERATED ON FOR'
APPENDICITIS.
Uis Case Was Wrongly Diagnosed
—Ile Realized the Fact in Time
—Dodd's Kidney Probably
Saved His Life.
St. Mary's, N. B., July 22.—(Spe-
cial).—Thomas Harrison of this
place considers himself a fortunate
man that he is alive and well to-
day. For months he was suffering,
as everybody thought, with appendi-
citis. That's what he was told "and
that's what he was being treated for.
But he grew worse in spite of the
efforts exerted to help him.
In appendicitis it is generally
thaught necessary to perform an op-
eration. That Mr. I-Earrison was not
required to undergo the surgeon's
knife and that for a disease he never
had, is in all probability nobody's
fault but his own. For it was not
appendicitis that afflicted Mr. 'Har-
rison. It was Stone in the Bladder,
and it was Dodd'S Kidney Pills that
restored him to the perfect health
and strength he enjoys to -day.
"About a year ago," he writes, "I
began tce suffer from pain in the baek
accbmpaniecl by a lethargy impos-
sible to oy.ercpreen I einployed a
physician.who, narned my disease ap-
pendicitis but in spite of his treat-
ment I grew Worse.and began to pass

Something More Than a Purgative.

To purge is the only effect of many pills
now on the market. Parmelee'e Vege-
table Pills,are more than a purgative,
They strengthen the stomach where other
pills weaken it, They cleanse the ,blood
by regulating the liver and kidneyFf, and
they stitnulate where other pill com-
pounds depress. Nothing of an injurious
nature, used for merely purgative powers,
miters into their compositiona:
