A small syndicate might do something by equipping a stroug man or a few strong Hien for the work of mining in that country. The men would not only have to be particularly strong, also exceptionally honest, for the people who provided them with transportation • and provisions, would have no guarantee other than the honour of their employes or their partners. The men might take the transportation and provisions from eastern capitalists, and then work for themselves, or not work at all, after they had got to the Yukon. The busi- ness of mining in the Yukon country is a matter, not of organized activity, but of individual endurance and strength, and, in short, is the hardest sort of business for a joint stock com- pany to manage, and unless they have special knowledge which justifies them in taking the risk, the people who buy shares, and companies who propose to work the Yukon at this present time, have a great deal more money than good sense. NOTES AND COMMENTS Go on with this game of burying all the sons of eloquence in Government jobs and Liberal platform speakers will„ soon be as scarce as Tory civil servants. x x + Owing to the DominionGovernments' abandonment of most of the planks hi the Liberal platform there is nothing for the platform speakers to stand on and consequently they are being given a footing in the civil service. Often and often the truthful ther- mometer registers 75 degrees below zero, but the people now going to the" Klondike will not feel it, because many of them will be too dead to feel any thing about the middle of next Janu. ary. x -r x The mortality among the Indians in the wrecked car on the Central Pacific indicates that the United States is be- ginning to use its fast trains to kill off the redskins who have so rarely escap- ed the pains of death by whiskey, or s tarvation. Men who go to the Yukon and strike it rich will make no end of noise. Men who go .o the Yukon and do not strike it rich will be dead and make no noise at all, and hence accordingly the excitement will not subside in a hurry. The Latest News.

Huron Craig, a convict at the Oen- Over $00,000 worth of cheese has The eldest son of Mr. Ward Gledhill, Thomasi .I tial prison, is xu solitary confinement been shipped from the Listowel stat of Benmiller, had the misfortune ion this season. while playing to dislocate his should - nursing a bullet which was fired into his cell by Guard Charles Edward,and which he says he intends to show the Minister of Justice on his release. The bullet is not in any part of Craig's anatomy, but this he says is not the fault of Guard Edward. He picked it up from the floor after the accident occurred. Craig has served time at Kingston and was twice sentenced to short terms for theft in the Toronto Police Court. He is now serving a sentence received at Goderich, his home. He broke goal there and escaped,) but on information supplied by the Toronto detectives he was recaptured at Niagara Falls. When being brought back by a constable he escaped again and was again recaptured. • The convict is ?t years of age, and is a tailor by trade. He was put to work in that shop when he arrived in the prison. He was a very morose and rebellious prisoner, and set such a bad example to the other convicts that Foreman Able asked the warden to have him removed, and Craig was accordingly detailed to the broom shop. He refused flatly to go after due per- suasion, but finally went for one day. When the work was oyer Craig left his place in the line, and walking to where Mr. Able was standing remarked :- "I'Il cut your heart ont before six months have vast:" He was then taken back to his cell and searched. Two knives were found on him, one with an ugly slender blade nearly four inches long and sharp as a razor, Then Craig was dis- ciplined by spanking, the punishment given prisoners for grave violations of the prison law. He received ten slaps and went back to his cell mad with, rage, vowing that if he were hanged for it he would cut Warden Gilmour's throat. Then the warden ordered the guards to be ready to protect them- selves in the event of being attacked by the convict, but not to draw a weapon except as a last resort, Craig, upon coming back to the cell after his spanking, smashed a bottle of medicine against the door grating and then wrenched off one of the legs of his iron bedstead, the night -guard noticin what he had done. On Satur- day morning Wing -Guard Edward and Guard. Rodgers entered ;Craig's cell, when the convict made a dash at them with a piece of wood in his band. Thinking that another weapon might be behind,the wood, Edward drew his revolver and fired, the bullet passing the convict's head andstrikin^• the wall near the ceiling, According to Craig's story the bullet from Edward's revolver passed through his sleeve, but this is denied by the prison au- thorities. Then the guards hastily withdrew,.and Craig was ordered into solitary confinement. It is not a new experience for hint, as he is said to have spent four months in the solitary at Kingston penitentiary without see- ing a human face. His desire to es- cape is said "to be actuated by the fact that a charge of bigamy is hang- ing over him, and that he will haye to face two wives when Warden Gilmour is through with him fifteen months hence.

Campbell, instructor of good roads, gives an estimate of the number of bicycles in the Province of Ontario. There is very little data to form an idea, for there is no form of registrat- ion.

A war map of the Dominion of Can- ada is in process of preparation. It will show all the roads, bridges, towns, villages, farms, blacksmith shops, and stores. Sucha map has never been prepared in this country,but should be kept up, as is done elsewhere, so that at headquarters any force couldbe di- rected with full knowledge of condi- tions likely to ineet them in crossing the country. =• :t i Surely it is needless to warn people against being bitten by this Klondike craze when they can be warned either by their own experience or the ex- perience of the victims of the British Columbia mining fever. The hardy miners whose favorite implement is advertising spacein Toronto newpapers are evidently going to work the Klon- dike craze for all it is worth. Their to be extreme- ly seem e • s would not chance sso promising. People who were bitten by the gaudy newspaper advertise- ment and the illuminated prospectus have no money left for Klondike schemes ; and people who kept their heads and their money a year ago, are not likely to lose either in Yukon enterprise. The Toronto Tonrnals which raised the cry of patriotism to conceal the real designs of the brokers who pretended to be interested in British Columbia, mining schemes, can- not disguise the Yukon excitement in any such holy garb. There will be nothing patriotic about the conduct of promoters who have not yet returned a dollar to the people they brought into British Coluxnbia mining schemes a year ago, and who will now try to stampede capital to the Yukon country. There will belittle prode for Canada in the development of the Yukon country at present. Canada's need is the concentration of money and energy tipon north-western Ontario and 'British Columbia. Andthebrokers whe :are extracting money from the pnbl u the name of the Klondike, are, at least, not patriotic. Besides, putting money into companies formed The Dominion, Ontario and Man- itoba Governments have decided to appoint a Board of Surveyors to survey the boundary between Ontario and Manitoba from the northwest angle in the Lake of the Woods north- ward to English River, as owing to the mining activity, claims are being taken up in all directions, and it is now absolutely necessary to have an accurate boundary The work will most probably be proceeded with im- mediately, and completed this fall.

James Brown of the 13th concession, of Hullett,came to a tragic and sad end early last Saturday morning. He had been ailing for some months, but bore and was resignation 1 `i tion ihcus upwith qite cheerful on Friday. In fact he h ad been assisting more or less with that time. O f late tl theharvest u a p to he had been unable to sleep well and occasionally rose during the night and took a walk and then would secure sleep. Mrs. Brown heard him rise during the fatal night, heard him go out of the door, and again fell asleep. When she arose in the morning about -6.30 she was not sur- prised at Mr. Brown not being in bed because he was accustomed to be the first up. She dressed and came down stairs, put on a fire, went to the cel- lar and skimmed the milk, and was taking it. to the calves. When passing the stable door she was horrified to find her husband hanging from a rope tied to the beam. His feet were only three or four inches from thefloor and a box stood close by, on which he mast haveptoodto ommit the terrible deed. The tie. rope had been first passed around the beam and tied with a slip knot, the end hanging down ; a slip knot was made on the other end and tightened, when he must have stepped or jumped off the box. -Mrs. Brown dropped the milk sharply, rushed to her belovedpartner, grasped the end of the rope ]ranging from the beam and pulled for life. It loosened its death grip and the un- fortunate man, who was cold and stiff in death fell and lunged toward one of the stalls. Immediately the frantic woman alarmed the ueighbors, at times becoming prostrate with grief. Drs. Agnew, and Milne were summoned, but all was over. AIhert Howse, a fernier residing in the township of Pilkington, near Guelph, has adopted a reliable means of putting down thieving. Monday morning about three o'clock he was awakened by sounds at his barn and hurriedly dressed himself and taking his gun started out to investigate, with the result that he spied a man coming out of the barn with a bag of grain. On the culprit being ordered to halt and failing to comply Mr. Howse fired at him bringing him to the ground, one of his legs being actually filled with shot and will likely have to be amputated. The thief proved to be a neighbor living on the next farm. He was taken to the hospital. Mr. Howse had a whole wagon load of grain stolen last Friday night.

A strong gale was blowing from the north, and when some dis- tance up Lake Huron the captain de- cided to run back to Sarnia, on ac- count of the heavy sea running. About 1 a. nt., while within a few miles of Gratiot lighthouse, the Cambria ran into a raft of logs, broke her paddles, and blew out a cylinder, thus leaving her at the mercy of the waves. She slowly drifted ashore about three miles north of Sarnia, on the Canadian side of Lake Huron. The passertgers, who numbered about 100, mostly from United States points, were all safely landed and lodged at the Northern Hotel, Sarnia.
