It ie my firm opinion that Sir Charles Tup- per hazarded all he could prudently al- ford in the party interest at the last general election. He is not the man to epeak of his political sacrifices, but the splendid campaign, which he put u personally, was not by any means his sole contribution ; and if he appears to Wi up in financial véntures at a time of life when most men are lain to seek rest and complete retirement from bariness cares, it is because the necessity exists, not to put it too strong- ly, of bettering his financial position.”” Winnipeg.

For a man with such extensive interests as hie, who was just paying a flying visit, before starting on a long journey, he seemed singularly at~ease. He. was found standing in ‘front of the Le Roi office, enjoying the bright sunshine. He did not seem to have anything on his mind beyond en- joying the present moment. ‘ Everything went on as_usnal. Col. Peyton may come and go ashe will, but beyond a short interview with Cap- tain Hall or Mr. Harris, nothing is ob- servable from his visits. The mine keeps ranning along like ¢tlock-work. “Have you sold the Le, Roi mine yet?” a Recorp representative usked. Colonel Peyton smiled. It was evi- dent he treated the whole matter as a hugh joke. ‘ No,’ he said, . ‘but it seems others have sold it for us. Other people evidegtly know more about ou: business than we do ourselves.

The workmen were put- ting the finishing touches to it and all at once the top part commenced to sway in on alarming manner. : a There was no time to lose. It was -a case of “boots and saddles.” Mr. Adams never knew Mr. Drewe! not fall after all and the.workmen soon had it safe but that did not repair Mr, word’s bridle.

Tne casual observer, he saye, who has perhaps lost some of the’ links in the chain, will be apt to‘deny that this gold came from the ruin of mineral veins, but it is quite evident that the disin- tegration of so rimitive rocks and the formation of mentary ones me to produce the and there is a continnal. chan, the position and physical condition of the gold. - GLACIERS MAKE GOLD. - Glaciers play an iniportant part, saye the writer in pro ucing goll placers.

Gold in huge slabs that can be mined like granite seems an impossible state of affairs, yet were the conditions 60 that men could delve far enough be- neath the earth’s surface, such a thing would not only be possible but practi- cal, says a writer in the San Francisco Mining Review, in an article dealing with the origin of placer gold. A synopsis of the article might not be amiss to the mine owners of Roseland mines as it contains some interesting rea- sonings.

Beyond reasonable doubt this is the origin of mineral veins and surface placers, but the genesis of the noble metal itself is'one of the mysteries of nature and quite beyond our powers. Some other minerals, as platinum, stream tin, metallic copper, arquerite, magnetite—in the form of magnetic rende—viunaber, and perhaps some others, uiuicr certain conditions, form temporary placers. Tle fine gold in sedimentary rocks cannot in any sense be called a placer. TREASURES SCATTERED AGAIN. The deep placers seem tu be in a state of temporary repose, but in time moun- tains as great as the Andes may slowly rise beneath them; they may thus be elevated and their treasures in scat- tered by the same agencies, to return to sedimentary rocks which will in turn be ged ‘to crystalline ones, and The Vendome.
