He and his wife and son died recently within a few days of each other. It was evident they had been poisoned. The daughter, Celia, was suspected and closely watched.

He did not like her, and considered her attentions a nuisance. He complained to his father, and Mr. Berry complained to Mr. Rose. The girl's parents took her severely to task, and the ;..oisoning was the result. Ricin Ontario Mines. Prof. Coleman, of Toronto, who has been investigating the ruining wealth of North-western Ontario in the in- terest of the C'r'own Lands Department, has reported from Rat Portage, Ont,, with reference to the mines in that region.

Sixty or eighty miles south- east of Rat Portage he inspected the Little Trelnoine crushing rnill on the Ilpe1' Manikin. This is run by Mr. aycoc k, of Ottawa and was shut down, but Prof. Coleman fonntl that a rich 'three!. mine existed in the locality, •told was able to extract march gold from the tailings which had been ne- glected owing to the primitive processes of miring in the region. This planer -nine he regards as the debris of a rich ed,joining fissure vein. Prof Coleman also visited the Regina mine at White- fish Bay end reports that the prospects are more hopeful.
