This royalty is fixed at three per cent, of the annual profites over $10,000 and up to $1,000,000; five per cent. of Before a lease can be issued to a licensee, two hundred days work must be done on the claim during a period of five years or less. Proâ€" vision is also made so that if desirable, imâ€" provement work may be started as soon as the legal posts are in place. At least forty day‘s work must be done in each year. When two hundred day‘s work has been performed, the claim surveyed, discovery established, certain other requirements complied with and accepted, the recorded owner will be entitied to obtain a certificate for improvements and upon payâ€" ment within three months of the rental and fee, he will be entitled to a lease for a period of twentyâ€"one years, without further payment of rental. Renewal for an additional period of like duration is subject to rental. * The new regulations provide that every person and organization engaged in mining activity on Dominion lands must hold a miner‘s certificate. Such a certificate entitles the holder to stake and record three claims for himself and three claims for each two other licensees â€"or nine claims in all (a total of about 450 acres) in each mining division. In the Northâ€" west Territories double this numberâ€"that is to say eighteen claimsâ€"may be staked and reâ€" corded. All claims must be marked by four legal posts and as soon after as reasonably possible, metal tags supplied by the department of the interior must be attached to the posts. The Federal Department of the Interior reâ€" cently enacted new regulations to foster the inâ€" terests of the mining industry and the public, and mining rules have been revisedâ€"with this end in view. They were drafted by the Minister of the Interior, Hon. Charles Stewart, and have been passed by orderâ€"inâ€"council. They attest the vigilant interest exercised in this respect by government supervision and bring the new regulations abreast of present conditions.‘ At the recent session of the Ontario Legisâ€" lature, an amendment to the present law was passed under which the city is permitted to extend its mains into adjoining municipalities, enabling them to enjoy the same service as city consumers who, owing to the large number of users of gas, secure it at an attractively low price. There is the added advantage, too, that with the increase in consumption, the Commisâ€" sion will no doubt be in a position in the future to give an increasingly favorable price, those residing adjacent to the city also benefitting.

Weichel, M.P.P., who acted as honorary chairman and general chairâ€" man respectively of the campagin committee, and other prominent citizens of Kitchener and Waterioo. The encouraging response being made indicates general appreciation of the comâ€" mendable service rendered in providing educaâ€" tional facilities equivalent to those available at universities, Waterloo College being affiliated with Western University, of London. An appeal is being made to every citizen of the two muniâ€" cipalities as the college is nonâ€"sectarian. Aside from the educational opportunities available through the establishment of this inâ€" stitution of learning in the community, citizens of the two places, in rallying to its support, are furthering and upholding a local â€" institution which is splendidly fulfilling its mission and which is deserving of every encouragement. With the steady growth of Waterloo Colâ€" lege and the increased outlay required to proâ€" vide adequate facilities to cope with the proâ€" gress made, it has been found necessary to appeal to the public for funds to help finance this worthy undertaking, a campaign having recently been launched to raise the sum of $150,000 for the purpose.

It is splendidly fulâ€" filling its mission as a service organization. This is but another illustration of the fact that the threatened extinction of some imâ€" portant commodity leads to the discovery of something else to take its place. After all, little is known of the possibilities and potential useâ€" ifulnesa of the common things about us until some vital circuntstance leads to intensive inâ€" vestigation which uncovers their value. The world has obviously still much to learn notâ€" withstanding all the knowledge which has been gleaned through the centuries. America that will yield rubber and among the most productive of these is also one of the most common and easily grown, the golden rod, that flourishes by every wayside. there are 1400 plants in the United States of Among those who applied themselves towards averting this threatened famine was the world famous inventor, Thomas Edison. With characteristic industry he retired to his laboratory in Florida and after experimenting with plants, returned to . inform the world that According to reports this has evidently been the case with reference to the cry that the world‘s rubber supply is running short and the prediction of a famine in this indispensable product. § From time to time it has been found that when a shortage threatens in connection with a commodity in general use, inventors and scientists set themselves to the task of disâ€" covering a substitute to take its place and apply themselves to such purpose that they almost invariably succeed. New immigrants have been arriving in the West in large numbers in the past few weeks, and the outlook is for a very active year in this connection. Many are going in to the Peace River country, which has such wonderful possiâ€" bilities before it. On the other hand, the older sections of the West are also absorbing many of the new arrivals. The bulk of the area of Manitoba, Sasâ€" katchewan and Alberta contain millions of acres of fertile land, constituting as it does the breadâ€"basket of the Empire. Wheat and other field crops of these broad acres,. which have received no serious check for four consecutive years, yield annually $650,000,000, a remarkâ€" iable figure by comparison with $230,000,000 of ‘fifteen years ago. Saskatchewan alone contriâ€" butes $300,000,000, a value exceeding that of the yearly output of all our gold, copper, nickel, silver, zinc, lead, asbestos and other mines. Andâ€"yet in these prairie provinces, taken colâ€" lectively, much more than half as much land as is now occupied awaits cultivation, while in Alberta and in the Peace River Block, which is being rapidly settled, actually less than 30,000,â€" 000 of the 70,000,000 acres of good arable land is in farms. | lWestern correspondent of the Monetary Times states that the land in each province is all in also well in hand.

When crossing the Allemn‘ mountains, Benjamin Eby‘s horses were floundered which necessitated their laying over for about two days. When thus laid up they entered into some amusements to pass the weary hours, and among other things, playâ€" ed a game of quoits. By some acciâ€" dent or other, one of the quoits hit and very seriously cut Peter Erb‘s head, almost killing him. The cut or gash was so severe that it was eupposed he lost over two gallons of blood, and he became so weak that his life was despaired of by the whole company. His brother Daniel who had thrown the quoit, felt so bad about the matter that he abâ€" sented himself and went to the woods for a whole day. They were obliged to go back fourteen miles for a doctor, but before the doctor arâ€" rived they had manraged to stop the blood.

With the bad roads and heavy loads they made as rapid headway as possible, often however, not making more than six miles distance in a whole day. On the $th of May, of 1807, quite a large company started from Lanâ€" caster County, Pa., for Canada, arriving in Waterloo, after a jourâ€" ney of four weeks and four days. This company was composed of the following parties: Joseph Schneider, and his wife and four children, Peter Erb and wife, Benjamin Eby and wife, Daniel Erb, Daniel Eby, Abraham _ Weber, Joseph Risser, John‘ Eckhardt, Fr. Vogt, Safnuel Eby,â€" David Eby, and Henry Bruâ€" bacher. ‘They had three fourâ€"horse wagons and one twoâ€"horse wagon.
