F. Brig hani, genera: manager of the Rollin-: ger mine, made a statement about that mine which sets it in the position of. being the world's greatest gold nine,': He said that formerly he had thought: $120,000 of each foot of depth was far estimate of the value of the Hol-' �iwger, but 'lately decided that $15Q,000 a fog*t would be. nearer. Mr. Brigham suggested a depth of 3,000 feet to be used as a as for calculating the value of the Hollinger and added that. on the $1.50,000 a foot velaation it wawa purely a matter of a.ri.hnnetie. In discussing his statement after the meeting Mr, Brigham said that the mine had produced more tau $150,000 a foot dawn to the 200 -foot level and that there was yet considerable ore in reserve to that depth, stir. Brigham said further at the banquet that he. thought the other mines of :Porcupine would in the aggregate have produc- tion which would equal that of Hol- Huger, "or at least a fair proportion of it." Following out Mr. Brigham's suggestion that "It was purely a mat- ter of arithmetic," to figure put the valuation he puts on the Hollinger urine, amounts to the astounding figure of $450,000,000 from surface down to only 3,000 feet.

King Nicholas, to the day of his death, hoped the country would be allowed to vote on the question of retaining its independent existence. The Russians replied that in view cf the 'attitudes of the powers' dele-I gates they agreed that the coxifereneo, had best end. There will be a meeting of the delegates to adopt this report to the Governments which will be pre- pared meanwhile. It has not yet been decided whether the Russians will at- tend this meeting. This, in brief, is a summary of the long meeting, which in reality was the. last of the ill-fated Hague Conference.

The hill passed third' reading with- out division, Referring to the '•debt of the United States, the Chancellor of the Ex- chequer said: "1 welcome and ' reciprocate the views expressed by Mr. Asquith, name- ly, that our debt to the United States is .one of the solemn obligations which undoubtedly we shall meat, There is no question about that, The request which the United' 'States made to us recently to consider the funding of the debt and to place it, as Mr, Asquith said, on stable and equitable, founda- tions, is one which will be completely niet. No doubt exists in anybody's mind as to the absolute necessity of our fulfilling our duty to the very ut- nnos .Sirt.,, Robert, relating to the affairs of thecountry, concluded: "We are in a stronger position than at any time Once the armistice. There is no rea.• son for our looking at the present situation with despair. I believe ways and means will be found to avert grave finaneial perils. This country will play a very great part in the solution of the problem.
