CANADA'S MINI RAL PRODUCTION.
Since 1901 Ontatio has advanced from
second to first place among the Provinces
in mineral production of the Dominion.
British Columbia, which, prior to 19,4,
when the Cobalt silver camp in Ontario
was opened, held first place in the
Dominion for value of mineral output,
has been displaced by Ontario. Such is
the conclusion gathered from the figures
of the latest bulletin published on the
census of 1910•I1.
Nova Scotia, since 1909, has moved
up to third place. The Yukon, which
has been displaced by Nova Scotia for
third place, has now fallen to sixth
among the Dominion's mineral -pro-
ducing Provinces. The other Provinces
maintain about their relative positions
in the following order: Quebec, Alberta,
Manitoba, New Brunswick, Saskat-
chewan and Prince Edward Island.
The growth of Ontario's value of
production is mainly , accounted for by
the opening of the Cobalt silver camp in
I904, which in the last census year
yielded $17,637,256 of the total silver
output for Canada of $18,899,240.
Compared with the census for 1900,
the last census shows an increase in
the last ten years of 849 in the number
of mines and works in Canada, of 465,-
734,248 in the value of buildings and
plant, of 31,442 persons employed and
of $74,048,070 in the value of production.
Coal both as to tonnage and value,
occupies the first place with a value of
$32,5/0,841, silver in ore and in combin-
ation the second with $18,899,240, gold
the third with $10,302,973, clay products
the fourth with $9,562,302, nickel the
fifth with $8,276,313, copper the sixth
with $7,581,552, stone the seventh with
$6,372,475, and cement the eigth with
$5,851,066, being respectively 26.7, 15.5,
8.4, 7 8, 6.8, 5.2 and 4.7 per cent. of the
total value of production, which was
$12,004,932,

WINGHAM TWENTY YEARS AGO
From the TIMES of Sept 29, (1893)
LOCAL NEWS
Mr. Wm. Hembly, who has leased the
oatmeal mill from Mr. Wm. Clegg, has
had a run of chopping stones put in and
is now prepared to do farmers' chopping
on short notice.
Mr. Wm. T. Webb, of Snuiisburg,
Wisconsin, son of Mr. S. 13, Webb, of
this town, has been in town on a visit
to his father.
RECIPROCITY ve. WHAT WE ARE
TO GET.
From the Weekly Sun.
Some of our anti -reciprocity journals
are now claiming that Canada will re-
ceive, under the new tariff, practically
all the advantages promised under reci-
procity. The position taken is at least
a gratifying acknowledgment from jour-
nals, which previously denied the fact,
that advantages would have been gain-
ed by Canadian agriculture had the
agreement offered two years ago been
accepted. Unfortunately the assertion
that all the advantages of reciprocity
are coming under the new tariff is not
founded on fact. Under reciprocity
Canadian horses would have had free
entry to the United States. Under the
new tariff, as amended by the Senate,
they are to be taxed 10 per cent. Under
reciprocity Canadian cheese and butter
would have had free entry to the Am-
1V2r. A. G. Stewart, of the Teeswater
News, was a visitor at our fair, on
Wednesday. Ile rode over on his
bicycle, covering the distance in one
hour.
A great many persons in town have
the September grip (cold in the head,
neuralgia, etc.) Have patience and
you will get it, too. It costs nothing
to get it.
Messrs. Beattie Bros.' trotter Wanda
took second money at the Western Fair,
London, last week and their running
mare, Topsy H., also took second money
at the same place.
The English church bell was removed
from the tower at the old church, the
other day, and placed in position in the
tower of the new church. It sounds
well in its new home.
The new St. Paul's Anglican Church
will be opened on Sunday next, 1st of
October. His Lordship, the Bishop of
Huron, will preach at the morning ser-
vice and will confirm a class in the
afternoon and preach a sermon. The
LIST OF PRIZE WINNERS
Rev. R. McCosh, of Chatham, will
preach at the evt'ning service and on
Monday evening a short service and ad-
dresses and organ recital will be held,
The Congregational church was the
scene of a pleasant anticipation and
glad realization on the occasion of the
marriage of Mr. Wm. Bone to Miss
Annie Ramsay, both well known resi-
dents of these parts. The church was
handsomely decorated and an abund-
ance of flowers of every hue and shade
adorned the altar and chancel. The
ceremony was performed by the Pas-
tor, Rev. W. H. Watson.

erican market. Under the new tariff
as it passed the Senate, the duty on
each will be 2 1-2c per lb. With reci-
procity in effect Canadian barley would
have passed duty free across the line.
If the new bill stands as it passed the
Senate the tax on barley will be 15c per
bushel. Reciprocity would have abolish-
ed the duty on our beans entering the
United States. Under the new measure
the duty will be 25c per bushel. With
reciprocity in effect our hay would have
entered free. As it is now the duty on
it will be at least al2 per ton. Apples
would also have been free under reci-
procity. The best we can hope for now
is l0c per bushel. Numerous other cases
of a like nature might be cited.
Moreover, under reciprocity Canada
would have had the exclusive right to
free entry in all lines of agricultural
produce, save wool. As it is now the
limited right of free entry must be
shared with Mexico, Argentine, and ail
other competing countries.

Ttred-Ont Kidneys
Kidney troubles are so frightfully
common because the kidneys are so
easily upset by overwork or excesses of
eating and drinking. Cure is effected
not by wipping them on to renewed
effort, but by wakening the action of
liver and bowels by the use of Dr.
Chase's Kidney -Liver Pills. This rests
the kidneys and makes them well.
Backache and urinary disorders then
disappear.

HiS FOOLHARDY FEAT.
A Nerve Trying Climb Up the Face of
a Steep Precipice,
In his book. "Trailing and Camping,
in Alaska," A. 1l. Powell. a guvern-
ment surveyor, tells how oue of hie
party was led into a most hazardous
predicament, Ile says;
We landed ou a grassy nook at the
foot of a precipitous mountain spur.
Atter supper oue of the trio tried to
climb to a ledge of white spar that
could be plainly seem from the ramp.
After an hour's hard Work he reached
tbe ledge, but it proved disappointing.
Efe tben saw that he could not de-
scend without eyes in bis toes. if be
could ascend a few hundred feet be
might lower liflnself down a draw by
the help of scattering aider brush. He
spent another hour In getting to that
place only to discover n preeil,ice In
the path he bad expected to descend.
There was another chance left; he
Might climb to the top of the spur for
above, No living man could have
clung to the face of that precipice a
minute if it bad not been for the moss
that was rooted in the small crevices.
He continued climbing until about
10 o'clock, when he paused to look
down on the campfire and the water,
more than a thousand feet below him,
Be felt a sickness come over him, so
he turned Ills gaze to the rock wall, a
foot from his face.
When near the summit he found him-
self face to face with a perpendicular
wall about twelve feet high. There
nppeared to be a small bench on top
of this wall, on which he might rest
if be could reach it. He sat for a few
moments on a large rock that lay at
the foot of the wall; then with his
knife he ant niches for finger and toe
bolds. Holding on by these he climbed
up and dug a sort of trench through
tbe moss on the rim above, through
which he might draw his body. Then
he descended to tbe rock for a long
rest before making the final effort.
He finally nerved himself to the task,
put his fingers in the niches and drew
himself from the rock wbleb. with the
pressure of the departing foot, said
goodby and went bumping down. down,
down. The man was left clinging to
his niches -hope and life above, sure
death below.
Rig drops of sweat stood on his fore-
head as he steadily worked np, np, and
held with one hand while be dug
the other into the moss above. Half
of his body finally rested on the edge.
while the other half hung In space
without a foothold. It seemed impos-
sible to move from that position until
he saw an alder stem, an inch in diam-
eter. that had grown on the tittle fiat
bench. He tried its strength. It en-
abled him to pull himself np and Ile
on the narrow bed of moss, where be
thoeght of friends far away and his
own folly.
There was but one way out and that
was alms n six inch shelf about WE
feet to the westward that ended on
the sloping ridge. Along this a stun
could edge his body by holding on to
the jagged places in the rock wall. tae
took off his shoes and set off along
that sk>ping path, but he had to be
careful nut to look down from his
dizzy itelght to the distant cnmpfre.
The fent was accomplished safely
and n thankful tnorial lay on the green.
glassy ridge In complete collapse. His
aneroid barometer recorded 2,140 feet
above the sea, and his watch told Mm
that it was bnifpast 12 In the morning.

The English Breakfast. '
England has Ituown many changes
during recent years. Caste lines bave
been obliterated, the silk hat is no
longer an object of reverential won
ship, actors have been knighted and
bands introduced into restaurants. But
the breakfast table is tbe Inst ditrh of
British conservatism. The Englishman
eats baron and eggs 365 mornings 1n
the year and welcomes leap year ma
cause it enables him to indulge in that
delightful dish 386 times. The mus.
a'c'hy nifty be abolished and the house
or lords deprived of its prerogative,
but the English breakfast will remain
as it was in the days of the euuquerur.
