The I Disrsioir OF EDMONTON voirtirisels about 80 townehips, of which the town of Edmonton is about the .centre. The land is for the most part good, the worst portion being to the west of the town, and being chiefly -valuable for its timber. It is in this di- rection the timber limits are situated from which our saw miis derive their supplies. Logs and lumber will be ' limited down to Battleford this spring, the timber in that region not being -conveniently,. enough situated to make it ss paying business to undergo the expense of bringing it to the mills. Lumber sells " here at from $20.00 to $40.00 per thou- , sand feet, according to quality, but in i le few years, with the establishment of a better class of saw mills, it will be much lower. Besides abundance of building timber, we have ample wood in this dis- trict, as also an inexhaustible supply of good coal. Coal Sells for $3.50 a ton,. and wood about the same price per cord. There is also _ • GOLD IN THE RIVER, and during the simmer a number of miners employ their time washing it from the sand. Last year a gold mining sow wee launched Ihere, and filled with the necIssary machinery to raise - the sand and small particles of geld, the greatest trouble heretofore being how to ` save the gold, which, being so light, floats away :at the least disturbance. The machinery of which 1 speak sucks up everything from the smallest particles of gold to stones the size of 'a I DUCK'S HEAD. ' I This. summer the Machinery will be p&fected for , the Separation of the gold m the gravel, and it is confidently ex - ted that ,the gold seem will prove a. bozjanza. The great problem which has puzzled the people of this country, is where the gold comes from, and a num- ler of miners have tried to arrive at its source. James Hang, an old miner, who is following up what he 'believes to be the lead, close by the river, about 60 _ miles west of here, seems- to be of the opinion that he has arrived at it true - aource, and rumors are rife in town, that he hi bringing to the surface quartz Which will yield $25.00 per ton. if this is true and the quartz is in sufficient abundance, he will b�a: rich man in a short time. He certainly deserves to succeed, is he haa spent a long time searching for the - precious metal, in the face of adverse circumstances of more than one kind. Be- sidea these natural advantages, we Iave, as I stated before, a E RICE AGRICULTURAL COUNTRY I peopled by a good class of settlers, Eng- lish, French, Scotch, Irish and 1alf- breeds, merchants of good standing, and men of ability to control our destinies. All we want is a railway to bring in New settlers, and capital to develop our immense natural resources, We, of course, are at the head of the navigation of the Saskatchewan, but our stea.naboat service has notbeen up to the nsark here- tofore, and the merchants prefer rather to freight their goods from Calgary,than trust to the boats. - By the former eoute there is a certainty that goods I will arrive, by the latter there is always a doubt, but I suppose time will reetify this state of affiairs. Farmers here, and I think they are wise, do not depend upon the raising of grain wholly 'es a means of livelihoOd. Most of them foliosv mixed farming, having large numbers of cattle. Sheep are not Very numerous as yet, and I may say the same also of hogs, but they are gradu- ally becoming more numerous, and the time is fast approaching when it will not pay to import cured bacon into this country, as the home supply will be suf- ficient to meet the wants of the district. A great source of revenue to this j dis- trict, at least for the past two y ars, has been the demand for supplies for the Mounted Police and i the Indian De- partment. Heretofore' supplies Were brought in from the south, principally from Manitoba, but the coMpetition be - ween the producers of this district', and those to the south and east is becoming too keen to allow the latter to com,Pete with us and make a air margin of pro fit. The , TOWN OF EDMONTON, though somewhat scattered, like Win- nipeg was in its growing days, is fast as- suming a more compact appearance. Inlay state that the reaseps for its being scat- tered, or spreading over a large area, are the same as those which exist around every Hudson Bay post, private merchants generally establishing them- selves at a distance from the former. Thus the villages assume a scattered appearance, but time generally makes a cure, and it is fast making one here. There are four lapse general stores, in- eluding - cluding the Hudson Bay, one drug store, one tinsmith, one harness ' maker, - shoemaker, a cabinet factory; two black- smith's shops, a tailor, a livery stable, two butcher shops, a bakery, two hotels, • five saloons, where a home -brewed bar- ley -beer is sold, a barrel of which is war- ranted. to make a man drunk, onerestau- rant, four churche (English, Roman Catholic, Methodist an d Presbyterian), two lawyers, two doctors, a deputy sheriff, land, timber, registratiop, tele- graph, Italian offices and post office, a public school and a newspaper office in the town. There are a number of good buildings, sotne of the private -residences being very fle. The Jasper House is built of brick, the clay for the manu- facture of which is obtained in abun- dance just east of the town. We had until this last winter two flour and grist mills, but the Hudson Bay mill was, un- fortunately, burnt this last winter. ' Al- together, we are not badly supplied. We might find room for a, watchmaker and a dentist. At present, a number of now buildings are in course of erection, and a number more will be commenced soon. Carpenters' wages are very high, and will be much higher before the summer is over. About nine Miles north of Edmonton is the settlement of ST. ALIIERT, the residence of His Lordship Bishop Grandin, and the stronghold df the Metia of this district. St. Albert was eStahliehed in 1864, and though it suf- fered severely by the smallpox plague of 1870, contains quite a large population of half-breeds, with a generous sprink- ling a French and Irish. As you are aware the Metis of this district were among the most loyal of our citizens during the late trouble, remaining at home cultivating their farms, while many of the young men joined General Strange's cOlumn and went to the front. 1 do not say, of coarse, that they had no sympathy with their brethren of Batoche. You know "blood is thicker than water,' but they saw nothing but destitution staring their south branch brethien in the !Ace. Besides, whatever grleveneea the latter may have had, Or iinagined they „bad, those of this .Clietrictt while they had grievances, did net see in them sufficient justification for rebellion. They are besides, with a few exceptions, . of a different familymot being from Red River, most of them having been born, grown up, and lived here all their lives. They have a ; representative in the Northwest council in the person of Mr. Samuel Cunningham, a half-breed, a gentleman who is widely respected, .who speaks English, French, and of course, Cree, and writes in the two former. He is not an orator, but he is, fe *roughly honest and trustworthy men, and will make a good representative with e little more experience. The village Of St. Albert consists principally of the Roman Catholic mission buildings, which- con- sist of a large cathedral, a palace, a school, an orphanage, under the care of the Grey nuns, and a large building in course of erection, designed, .1 believe, for a convent. • There is also a general store, a blacksmith,. a waggon shop and a couple of saloons on the south side of the river. There are a number of very fine farms in the settlement •owned by half-breed, French and Irish farmers, M. W. Gust's farm being one of the best have seen in the Northwest: The mission authorities have also a, saw mill and grist mill on the Sturgeon a few miles east of the village. You see the . mission people have been the pioneers of civilization in this district, and have al- ways had an eye to the wants of the people, without regard to religion. Their assistance has always been freely given to anything which had in view the public good and I state the truth when I say that the clergy of the Catholic church in the Northwest com- mand the respect of all. A few miles east of St. Albert is the STURGEON RIVER SETTLEMENT, composed principally of people from Ontario. The land is, as in the former settlement, good, and the, farmers ell doing well. There is a Presbyterian church in the settlement, which is used also by the Methodist body, and a public school. Besides, the settlements men- tioned there are three others Stoney Mountain, Clover Bar, and Fort Sas- katchewan. The last mentioned place is the headquarters of the Edmon- ton and Saskatchewan Land Company, under the management of George A. Simpson. There are a number of flour- ishing farms within ,the company's tract, but I believe they are principally locat- ed on government land. Though there is an apparent antipathy towards land conipanies in the Northwest on the part of the settlers, and though the . one rt- ferred to comes in for * share of this feeling, still this one has been the means of considerable good to this, district; as they have spent a large amount of money in Edmonton. But, on the whole, I cannot but express my well grounded opinion that colonization companies are failure and that we would do much better without them, and I think those who have invested their money in them' are beginning to learn, if they have not already learned, that the 'game don't pay for the candle. They, of course, were organized with the best Motives,. or I will charitably suppose they were, but those who embarked in them were not aware of the difficulties which would have to be encountered, and ovcreome. FORT SASKATCHEWAN is situated about 24 miles east of Ed- monton and contains a saw and grist mill, two hotels a Romen Catholic church, and I believe, a Presbyterian 'church. This place was fdrmerly the headquarters of the mounted police for the Edmonton district, but headquarters have been removed to Edinontosr-And only a small detachment remains' at Fort Saskatcheweat There are a num- ber of good farms in the eettlement and all seems to go on prosperously with the people. Last year a prairie -fire devast- ated a, large stretch Of the Country be- tween Clover Bar and the Fort, but, nothing daunted; those wlio ;suffered are working with renewed courage. , With the great natural advantages to which I have referred, with a hardy and industrious class of settlers within the dis- trict and with a favorable climate, I look forward with the greatest confidence to a bright future for the Edmonton dis- trict. Difficulties may have to be en- countered and individuals may lose heart,but the great majority Will become prosperous and happy. Yours, . HENRy marinimps. -Mr. J. R. Clarke's lecture in Mit- chell last week was well attended and greatly enjoyed. -The Salvation Army barracks on Little -Richmond street, Toronto, was the other night confronted with a gas bill of $33. Some energetic members of the army decidedto make a special effort to pay off this bill without draw- ing on the general funds of the corps. A trades and labor meetipg Was decided upon and in the evening a large eoliths' _ gent paraded the streets dressed to re- present different branches of industry, they carried tools and torches, and were accompanied by a band of music. The army, after parading the streets for some time, returned to the barracks fol- lowed by a large crowd of people. At the barracks a special service, at which special attention was paid to the mem- bers of all trades and labor, was held and a collection amounting to $35 was taken up. Births.

Live Sto4k Markets. Motereeee, April '20. --There seems to be no de mend for common stock and very few were sold during the forenoon. Messrs. Stone & Smith, of: Whitby, had two car -loads of cattle on the mer- ket to -day, which they sold at from 4cto 50 per lb. Among these was . an extraordinary fat bull, fed by Wm. Pearson, of the township' of Reach. This bull is • not quite four years old,. weighs 2,400 lbs., and was bought by Louis Delorme for $140. Mr.' Delorme also bought an• other very fine bull weighing 2,310 pounds, from Mr. Sydney Smith, of Toronto, which he re -sold at 51e per lb. Mr. Delorme bought the best car- load of cattle offered here to -day at 5.1e per lb., and resold several of them at about Ce per lb. Butchers seemed in no hurry to buy, as they ex- pect larger supplies when the water subsides so that cattle can be brought from the Grand Trunk yards. There were very few calves of- fered to -day, and pretty high prices were paid for any that were really good. Mr. Stone sold nine calves at from $4 to 820 each; four sheep at 4ic per lb., and twelve hogs at 510 per lb. There were very few sheep or lambs brought to the East End Abattoir to -day. TORORTO, April 22. -The British markets con- tinue firm, and the export demand' is good. - There were sales yesterday at 41e to 51e, the lat- ter for a few picked lots.
