raids upon the Treasury. Mr, Merwin
for instance was supplying goods to
ono or two of the Departments at the
most extravagant prices, and the very
fact that the Government permitted,
and even encouraged, this by helping
1 ierwin's standing- at the bank, 'makes
one suspicious of all the great pur-
chasing departments. The Public Ac-
counts committee has a plain duty be-
fore it, and if Liberals continno 'n
their policy of obstructing the inves-
tigations of that committee, they will
not improve their standing with the
country."
-During the year 1905 the Depart-
ment of -Lands and Mines for Ontario
sold 72,432 acres of Crown Lands for
agricultural purposes for $47,303.07.
For mining purposes there were sold
3,1441- acres for $7,389.42, and there
were leased 19,914 acres for $17,025.90.
The total area of land disposed of was

-For thirty years the Dun Mercan-
tile Agency of New York has kept
record of the cost of living, and the
figures recently made public show
that the cost of living is at the highest
point it has touched in thirty years.
The comparison of 1906 with 1905 is in
the proportion of 104 to 101. Aside
from the general advance in meats,
most food products became cheaper ;
but the general level of prices is higher
than on March 1, 1905, despite the fact
that foodstuffs have declined about
6 per cent.
•
-The expenditure by the Depart-
ment of Public Works during 1904-5
amounted to $8,304,000.77, compared
with $6,492,289.62 in the previous fiscal
year. The principal increases were
for dredging and for public buildings,
in both of which there was an increase
of more than $1,000,000. There was a
decrease of nearly $900,000 on the
amount spent of harbor and river
works. The revenue collected by the
department amounted to $280,353.67,
compared with $274,038.77 in the pre-
vious year. The receipts from slides
and booins amounted to $82,873.97,
compared with $71,331.20 in the previ-
ous year. From telegraphs the reve-
nue amounted to $139,758.44, compared
with $147,391.94, and from graving
docks the revenue amounted to $24,-
754.30, compared with $32,444.56.

and then the wood is set on i'r'e. In
this wiry the sulphur is largely hulled
oft, and the resulting gases pass Off
into the air, to the great detriment of
surrounding vegetation. In Copper
Cliff, where the pt'oeoss has been car-
ried on for years, all vegetation has
been destroyed, even the grass having
been ,absolutely killed. The same is
true, although to a lesser extent, at
the roast yards of the Victoria Mine
and the Gertrude Aline. Roasting oc-
cupies from one to six months, depend-
ing on the size of the pile.
From the roast yards the ore is
taken by ears to the smelters, where,
with coke fuel, it is reduced to ordi-

tet'national Nickel Company separate
their nickel and copper by repeated
fushions with sodium sulphate. The
Mond Nickel Company effect the sep-
aration of the two metals by combin-
ing the nickel with carbonyl, which
goes off as a gas and is afterwards
condensed. The Lake Superior Power
Company have been working on a pro-
cess for separating the nickel and cop-
per by electricity at their works at
Sault Ste. Marie.
Tire Geological Survey report that
up to the end of 1903, the total value
of the nickel, copper, and other metals
produced from Sudbury mines amount-
ed to $52,717,000. Adding to this the
production for the last two years we
have as the total value over 60 million
dollars. The production in tons of ore
to date is about 2,575,000 tons, It is
not generally known that besides
nickel and copper, very considerable
values in the precious metals are re-
covered from these mines. To each
ton of nickel there is said to be about
1.25 ounces of platinum and related
metals ; .37 ounces of gold ; and 7.5
ounces of silver. Canada is now the
leading producer in the world of
nickel.
day Night, in referring to the session,
says ;-
"An Ottawa correspondent enume-
rates the various injuries that this ses-
sion has done to the reputation of the
Government: (1) The Laurier Tower
fell of its own weight. (2) At D'Israeli
in defiance of the principles of Con-
federation, aid was given to the build-
ing of a municipal bridge, the struc-
ture being called a wharf to assist in
carrying out the imposture. (3) The
North Atlantic Trading Company hav-
ing been exposed, it was defended, yet
its contract cancelled. (4) Three Ca-
nadian representatives came home
from England involved in a tangle of
counter accusations. (5) Government
officials are accused of manipulating
homestead lands for personal gain,
and several land transactions are look-
ed upon as fruitful sources of political
capital for the Opposition. (6) The
steamer Arctic was provisioned as if
she were a whole navy. (7) Mr. Gen.
T. Merwin, a selling agent, has found
the Department of Marine and. Fish-
eries a large and easy buyer."
"There may be very little in some of
these accusations, and some Liberals
will loyally shout that there is nothing
at all in any of them. But, five years
ago, the Opposition could not drum up
a single charge against the Laurier
Government that could not be fully
answered at the moment. It is not so
now. Each day produces something
that needs explaining, and only the
veriest partizans are wholly satisfied
with the explanations offered, Sir
William Mulock, with his angry glare,
used to chase grafters out of the Buil-
dings, and there is a story going about
to the effect that his reason for quit-
ting politics was his determination
not to defend departmental actions
that he could neither prevent nor ap-
prove. The governing of Canada is a
big business -it is a big business for a
Premier to keep straight with a thou-
sand false friends trying to steer it
crooked and ten thousand honest
friends swearing that all is straight,
however crooked it may be. A man
needs an edge of adamant, or his sense
of right will wear dull in a few years
in office."

THE SENATE.
-The report on insurance companies
in Canada for 1905 shows that there
were received for premiums $3,028,-
430 for fire insurance by Canadian
companies, $S,583,203 by British com-
panies, and $2,689,111 by American
companies. With regard to life insur-
ance, Canadian companies received
premiums in 1905 amounting to $13,-
947,827, compared with $11,059,100 in
1004. The amount of insurance in
force increased from $364,640,166 in
190:. to $397,046,902 in 1905. The pre-
miums received by British companies
in 1005 amounted to $1,500,232, and the
insurance in force to $43,809,211. In
1904, the premiums were $1,473,514,
and the amount of insurance in force
was $42,608,738, The premiums receiv-
ed by American companies amounted
to $6,632,658 in 1905, compared with
$6,536,710, and the insurance in force
amounted to $188,578,127, compared
with $180,631,836.
-The coal areas of Canada are esti-
mated at 97,200 square miles, not in-
cluding areas known, but as yet unde-
veloped in the far North. There are,
first, the coalfields of Nova Scotia and
New Brunswick ; second, those of the
North-West Territories ; third, those
of the Rocky Mountains; and, fourth,
those of British Columbia. The coal
areas of Nova Scotia cover about 635
square miles. They are divided into
Cape Breton, the Pictou, and the Cum-
berland basins. The workable thick-
ness of the coal is very great -in Cape
Breton a total of 25 to 60 feet, in Pic-
tou at least 70 feet, and in;Cumberland
at least 30 feet. If the workable area
is reduced one-quarter, say from 407,-
000 acres to 300,000 acres, and the
average thickness of the workable
area put at 25 feet, on the basis of
1,000 tons of coal an acre for every
foot of coal, the amount of coal in the
mines of Nova Scotia is 7,000,000,000
tons.

-The Toronto News, in referring to
the increased Dominion expenditure,
says :----"'While it was to be expected
that the public expenditure would in-
crease from year to year, beginning
from the first of the fat years, it is
hard to explain why these increases
should be so large. A jump from $133,-
000,000 in 1902 to $82,000,000 in 1006 is
extraordinary, partieularly when it is
remembered that the Postoffice quick-
sand, where lnoney was wont to dis-
appear, has been solidified, and that
no enormous public work has been in
progress. This year a surplus of $12,-
500,000 on ordinary revenue and ex-
penditure is announced, yet the capi-
tal expenditure for the year has been
over $13,000,000, so that the country
is actually $800,000 behind in its ac-
counts, 1t is becoming' clear that the
I Administration has been subject to
Two suggestions have been made
regarding the Senate of Canada. The
first is to abolish it, as its necessity or
usefulness is doubtful. The second is
to reform it. But how can it be
changed to make it as it ought to be,
a check upon hasty or ill-advised leg-
islation. So long as it continues to be
a partisanly-appointed body, it will
continue partisan in its tendency and
action. The Weekly. Sun in referring
to this matter says :-
"If the statements made are a suffi-
cient justification for the existence of
a second chamber at Ottawa they are
an equally sufficient justification for
the creation of a second chamber at
Toronto and all other Provincial capi-
tals. The legislation enacted by a
Provincial Assembly has a much more
direct bearing upon the welfare and
happiness of the individual than has
that coming from Ottawa. If ever a
head -strong, untrained democracy car-
ries the legislative power off its feet
in this country the chief damage will
be wrought through the Provincial
Legislatures. But the history .of the
Provincial Legislatures affords the
best possible argument in support of
those who declare a second chamber,
whether at Toronto or Ottawa, it
needless expense. Legislation at To-
ronto, where there is only one cham-
ber, has at least been as wise as that
at Ottawa, where there are two, and
Manitoba and New Brunswick get
along as well with a single chamber as
Quebec and Nova Scotia do with a
double -headed legislative body. The
plain truth is the Senate is simply a
useless and expensive encumbrance,
and if the matter of its abolition conld
be submitted to a popular vote about
the only ballots against would be
those deposited by Senators and those
who hope to be Senators."
CANADA'S NICKEL, INDUSTRY.
"Industrial Canada" has an interest-
ing article on the "Canadian Nickel
Industry," and describes the methods
of treating the Nickel ore, as follows:
After being mined, the ore is con•
veyed to the rock horse, where it is
crushed to pieces, 8 inches in diameter,
screened, and passed over a picking
table where any rock is taken out by
hand. The ore is then transported by
cars to the roast yards where the sul-
phur is partially removed. A layer of
cord -wood about 18 inches high is flrat
built, and on this is piled the ore in a
heap of one to four thousand tone;
over tho ourtaoo ie iiproad the finer ore
