Out west are the Dunsmuir colle- ties, located in Nanaimo, B. C., and the deposits recently opened up in the Crow's Nest Pass region, . All these deposits are’ of bitumi- nous coal, There is some anthra- cite in Canada, but it is restricted tothe Lethbridge district of the Northwest Territories.’ None of the bitumineus coal mined in Can- ada is of an entirely smokeless va- aiety. The Pocahontas coal, ob- tained in West Virginia, is the nearest approach to the smokeless coal to bé found on this continent. HIAS SOLD OUT Louls Blue Disposed of His Interest To P. Genelle & Co.. A big lumber deal was consum- mated in the city last week when Messrs. Blue & Fisher sold out their interest in the Yale-Columbia Lumber company to P. Genelle & Co.) About 4 year ago the saw| mills of Blue & Fisher and Genelle & Co., were acquired by the Yale- Columbia company, and were run since then, by. that company. By the new arrangement Genelle & Co. are sole owners, but the business will be carried.on under the name of the Yale-Columbia Lumber com- pany...The company: own nearly all the mills and yards in the Koote- | nay and Boundary districts.

Commenting on Dewet’s recent escape, after the elaborate prepara- tions made to surround him, says the Toronto Globe, and is very humiliating to English Gener- hief of the army in October, and Lord Roberts will almost certainly replace him.

Go. Motors for sale or rent. and commerce has just ived a commissioner in South Africa, deal- ing with the trade of that country for the year 1899. With regard to the gold industry in South Africa, the commissioner states that the total product of that industry from its inception has been $400,000,000, As to general trade in South Africa at presént, it ap- pears that, by reason of the trou- alshas done some d: ge to great reputation, namely, that of Lord Kitchener. Lord Roberts sent Kitchener to take control of the operations, which were to end in cornering Dewet. Lord Meth bles, had on hand very small supplies, and in Cape Colony by no means enough for its own people, to whom have been added many refugees from the Transvaal. The issi points out that Generals Ian Hamilton and Smith- Dorrien were also co-operating with him, as well as Col. Broad- wood’s cavalry brigade, so that there must have been some $30,100 troops endeavoring to intercept the seven thousand mounted men who . formed Dewet's following. After be- ing bouyed up for weeks with hopes that this superbly-led Aying columa would be environed, the British public were not at all pleased to hear that Dewet got clear away again, hed both Meth and Kitchener and headed north to join Delarey who took possession of Rustenberg, and seems to be prac- tically master of the country almost up to Mafeking. The correspondent of a news agency who was, taken prisoner and kept for some time at Nooitge- British and’ foreign manufacturers are ready to swoop down on the whole country as soon as possible, and the first in the field will reap a tich harvest of large orders. The European powers cannot buy coalin Great Britain because an Act of Parliament has been passed against it. On top of this comes a story that Russia seeks to purchase a million tons of coal from the Do- minion Coal company at Sydney, Cape Breton, These things draw attention to our coal deposits which are in the extreme east and west and in two instances are near e seaboard and can easily be shipped by. wa- ter.
