The Wonderful Wealth Awaiting Dever- opmenk-Some Forces Which may Have Hindered the Progress of the Iron Industry. The Province of Ontario is one of the richest mineral countries in the world. The whole northern portion literally teems with the most valuable ores known to science and civilization. Yet up ta a very resent date few people, unless it were geologists such as Sir William Logan, appreoiated tkie possession of these sources of wealth. Latterly, however, a Mining Bureau has been established in Ontario, and its Annual Report this year furnishes a large amount of information and exhibits, hi connection with iron especially, a wealth of resources. such as was hardly dreamt of before by the average citizen. It is safe to say that the Address presented by the Port Arthur Council to Sir Oliver Mowat the other day was well within it bounds in saying that : "Iron mining onIthe north shore of lake Superior will platy as important a part iff the industries of Canada as it has for years in the States of Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota. The smelting ef this ore under the fostering care of our Governments will undoubtedly soon follow. That of itself should make Port Arthur a city which will be the Pittsburg of Canada." So far back as 1846, Sir William Logan wrote a report in which he announced the probability that the banks of the Ottawa river and its tributaries, as well as these of the St. Lawrence, were supplied with vast stores of iron ore. Referring to the evidence of these mineral riches, shown at the Lon- don Exhibition of 1851, he said that the British miner, accustomed to follow beds of ore containing 3) or 40 per cent. of iron, nat- urally regarded with surprise great blocks of the precious metal yeliding 60 or 70 per eet. of metallic iron. As the quality of Canadian iron is very similar to that of Sweden, which is favored by British smelt- ers for steel, Sir William pointed out that it only remained to show where fuel was to be obtained in paying quantities in order to make Canadian mining a great success. There now seems little room to doubt that cheaper transportation and convenient railways have made this possible in a thousand directions. In the Canadian Naturalist and Geolo- gist not long sine there appeared an estimate of the capabilities of some of_ the districts in the Ottawa basin by Mr. Billings, for many years connected 'with the Geological Survey. The Hull mine, he thought, touched a vein which underlay the country for many miles and contained probably 250,000,000 tons of pure iron. Of the Crosby mine on the Rideau canal he was very optimistic. This is estimated to contain 500,000,000 tons, a bulk of metal which weuld take the whole mining force of Britain and the States one hundred years to exhaust, In South Sherbrook he speaks of a bed 60 feet in thickness and having 100,- 000,000 tons of Imre metal. The beds from which the Marmcira iron- works were then supplied might be estimated as scontaining 100,000,000 tons -enough all told to yield 1,000 tons a day for 3,000 years. And yet, as he very properly pointed out, these deposits were only a part of the known iron wealth of the Prdvinee. ,But through Mr. Billings!, estimates .hive never been ques- tioned, it is hat:lath understand h --reseeseeciuld so long when iron on the line ot1le Rideau anal could bemined, leaded, delivered at King- ston and transferred to boats for Cleveland' and Oswego at per tan, when iron ore for many years was'selling in Pittsburg at' $6 per ton. Even at present prices there is a fair profit. Lack of capital, lack of confidence in fiscalpolicies, lack even of the necessary energy, may have all been factors. North of Khagstoia, Belleville and Coburg large deposits are known to exist, and eo far back as 1823 a bleat furnace vias erected in Marmora Cowaship, Large portions of Addington, Frontenac and Hastings also possess iron ore, and the Howse iron mine in Bedford township was well known for many years. In order to open lip these and other districts the Kingston and Pembroke rail- way has been constructed, and $2,000,000 was spent upon the Central Ontario Rail- way. Mr. Ledyard, of Toronto,- owns a mine at Belmont which is leased to an American Company and is to be shortly in operatiou, and the Bancroft Iron Company are building a railway to connect their mines with the Midland, while iron interests in Algoma are being resolutely pushed to the front. That the industries in Ontario connected with iron are neither small nor unimpotrant is apparent from the following table which -we take from M. Blue's Min- ing Bureau report, and compiled from the census of 1881 : Em- Value ployes. Wages of Products. speaks of the great iron depositsin the Atik- okan range, and doubts if there is in all America .a. deposit equal to it gnanstity, quality and advantages for mining. There should' be no great difficulty iii getting this industry into full play. The iron can be de- livered at a Lake Erie isn't for $4.30 a ni. it is worth $6 a ton ia Cle eland. THE WORLD'S -MARINE intertstiug Facts About Ships and Ship." Ding. The Spanish _ Armada consisted of 132' ships, 3165' cannon, 8766 sailors, 2088 galley slaves, 21,855 soldiers, 1355 volunteers and 150 monks. Th e navigable river- mileaneuf Europe, Asia and America, is 114,73 miles. The United States has the greatest river mileage 47,355. The most notable sea fight in Roingn his- tory was the defeat of the Goths by the Emperor Claudius II, Over 2000 Gothic_ galleys were sunk. . Turret ships were proposed in 1855 ; were recommended to the British Adiriiralty in 1861. The Monitor was the first of this class to be built. - - OGLLEOTIVE OWNERSHIP. . - Irish Trades Unionists Adopt, a Socialistic Principle. ' The longest artificial water course of the workris the Bengal Canal,'900 miles ; the next is the Erie, 363. Each cost nearly $10,000,000. Sortie of the steamship companies employ more men- than are enlisted in the second- class navies of Europe. The Cunard Line employs 10,00. ' _ • During 1892 there were thirty-two acci- dents to steam vessels in this country in- volving loss of life, and 200 persons were killed in these mishaps. In 1888 15,820 merchant ships entered the Dardanelles, with a tonnage of 10,460,- 000 • of these 7,030,000 tons were British, or about seven -tenths of the whole. A Belfast special says :-The Trades Unionists Congress passed by a vote of 137 - to 97 a resolution " that labor candidates for Parliament whOreceived financial assist- ance frcim trades unions shall be required to pledge themselve tosnpportthaprinciple of collective "-ownership and state control of the means of production and distributioh." The resolution was opposed on the ground that it committed the Congress to Contin- ental socialism. Several speakers said that the resolution was a fitting declaration of the Congress's belief in the great socialist principle. John•Burns, M. P., supported the resolu. tion, he said, because it cut right to t e tute.

The principle involved was like many other principles, for instance, the nationalization of mines and railways, whichforinerly were promulgated -only by Socialists, but now wereteeognized as part of the Trades Unionists programme. • Destruction by Wilfi. Animals in India. A resolution by the Chief Commissioner of the Central Provinces in India on various reports relating to the damage caused by wild animal @ and the extermination of -the latter 'contains some observations of more than usual interest Among the animals killed for which rewards were paid were 274 tigers, 442 panthers, 131 bears, and 85 wolves. In the past four years over 1000 tigers, 2000 -panthers, 500 bears, and 300 wolves have been destroyed. Last year 317- persons were killed by wild beasts in the provinces, while the number of. deaths from snake -bite was 999. The destrucsiOn of cattle is astounding, showing an increase ofabout 1200 over the previous year.. Sir Anthony Macdonnell accounts for this by saying that during his recent tours he notic-ed a great scarcity. of deer in the jungle tracts. They are being cleared out by the native huntsmen, and the de. crease in the natural prey of the tigers and panthers is marked by an increased loss of cattle. On the subject of rewards for the destruction of wild animals,. the experience of the Central Provinces seems to show that the system of offering special rewards for the destruction of particular animals or classes of animals is asound and effective one, The resolution mentions instances of this. In July.last it was decided to increase the reward from ten rupees to fifty' when it was proved -the animal was a man-eater.. Again, a special reward of fiftyrupe,eawas. offered for the destruction of a bear which had been doing much damage in the Balaghat jungles, while 300 rupees was offered for a man-eating tiger in the Chanda forest. It is said that special rewards offered in March last year for the destruction of wolves in the_Saugor district had the result of reducing the number of deaths attributed. to wolves in that (district from eleven to one. The Chief, Commissioner also notices the localraation in a few districts of most of the deaths caused by tigers and wolves. For instance; out of 98 deaths caused by tigers in the Central Pro yinces in 1892 68 occurred in the acjaeent districts �f Chanda, Hoshangabad, and Reaper. • Important Scientific -Discovery. The British navy comprises 62 armored ships, 29 protected or partially armored vessels, and 282 unprotected ships, 6, total of 373, which cost £35,635,000. The United States has 242 life saving stations, 181 on the Atlantic, forty-eight on the lakes, eighteen on the Pacific, and one at the Ohio Falls, Louisville, Ky. • The first mention of a na,valainiform oc- curs in 1748, when. an order . ma issued by the British Admiralty requiring a uniform and describing of what it consisted. There are 25,817 miles of canals in the world, cf which 13,29:3 -miles are in -Europe, 4479 in the United Sates, 535 in Canada, 2240 in- India, and 5270 are in China. - - Excluding about 62,000 small craft, the commerce of the world is carried on by 45,• 000 vessels, or 20,500,000 registered tons with a carrying capacity of 48,000,000. Great Britain and her colonies have 27,- 906 ships of all kinds; France has 15,278 ; Germany, 2635 ; Russia, 4406 ; Italy, 0810 United States, 22,623 ; the world, 107,137. Italian ships are worked cheaper than those of any other nation. The monthly expense of an Jtaliam ship with a crew of twenty men is about $475 ; of an American ship, $1000. During the Revolutionary War large whale -boats were fitted ot- by both -sides; To Adam paradisa was home. To the good. among his descendants home is para- dise.

The most singular ship in the world is the Poly-phemus, of the British- navy.- It is simply a long steel tube, deeply buried in the water, the deek tieing only 4 feet above the sea. It carries no masts or sails, and is used as a ram and torpedo boat. Industries.

The British ship Inflexible, the typical armored battle -ship, is 320 feet long and 75 beam. the citadel is --15 feet high, 9 above and 6 below the water ; its walls are 41 in- ches thick, '24 of iron, the rest teak ; the , two turrets are 9 feet high, with 28 feet internal diameter, each holding two eighty - ton guns capable of firing a 1700 -pound shot with a charge of 450 pounds of .povider. It carries 1600 tons of coal, enough to make a voyage of 3500 to O000 miles at a speed ef ten knots. The Suez Canal is. the most important shipping enterprise known to history. It enables two ships to do the work of three in trading between Europe and the East. From London to Bombay by way of the Cape is 10,595 miles ; by the' canal, 6330. It cost £17,000,000, was begun in 1856 and finished in 1869. Its length . is ninety-two miles, depth 26 feet ; the tolls average £S00 per vessel, or 8 shillings per ton of net ton- nage. The estimated saving to commerce is £5,000,000a year. In 1889 3425 vessels went through, the mean time of passing being twenty-seven hours.
