Tobosto, Out, July 13 It Is an
nonnoed that copper ore of almost in
credible extent and richness has been
found in tho Parry sound dlstrlot,
within, about seven hours' railway
-distance of Toronto. The discovery
was due practically to an American
mining expert named Forbes, who ha
organized two companies, one com
posed entirely of tit. Paul capitalists
and the other composed of Canadian
and St. Paul men, which have secured
alt of the claims in tho neighborhood
and have commenced operations on ap
extensive scale, '

A NEW FUEL.
S Babatltute for Coal Produced at
Wake. '
A contributor to the Pall Mall Mag
aifne describes a new fuel produced
In Russia. He says: "In appearance
astatkl, a product of the oil wells of
Daku, is a dark, viscous fluid not more
Inflammable than vegetable oil, and
less so than coal. As a steam-producer
it has no rival, and the demand
for this purpose Is constantly on the
; Increase. Nothing else is burned on
railways In Central Asia, the Caucasus
and Southern Russia, on the Black sea,
Caspian and river steamers, and la the
Innumerable industrial works which
are springing into existence on the
Ar.ov littoral. In the railways which
employ this substitute for coal, loco
motive tenders are not piled high with
black diamonds, but carry a sheet-Iron
astakl tank, which Is filled by pump
ing or the force of gravity. Numerous
are the systems of feeding furnaces
with astakl; and, Indeed, every en
gineer has his own pet apparatus, The
principle of all Is that of the Root's
blower. A current of steam, or pref
erably air, carrying with it the fuel in
minute subdivision, is forced at high
pressure through a nozzle, called a
"pulverizer," into the tubular interior
of the boiler to be heated. The result
Is an intensely white, roaring flame,
and In pulverizers of the latest typo
the value of astakl as compared with
coal on a steam-raiser, is as Vk to 1.
The former sells at Daku at $2.60 per
ton, and when the plpo-line connect
ing that place with liatoum is com
plete, astakl will be delivered at the
steamer's side at. something like $4.
At the latter price coal will clearly be
unable to compete with its youthful
rival. Nor do the advantages of astakl
end with its cheapness. Engines burn
ing it require no army of stokers, for
all that Is necessary In the largest is
a man to regulate the supply by taps.
There Is no smoke, litter or. dust.
Many a passenger by ocean steamer
will bless the day when astakl shall
supplant coal; and the stokers who
are roasted alive in tropical waters
will have greater reason to be thankful
for the revolution, r
VmhUa Ownership or Pe bile Eater
prises,
I There is jnst now an increasing tend
ency to public ownership aud operation
of pnblic enterprises, writes Edwin
Burritt Binitn in "Hulf Cnltnre." Of
the 06 largest cities of the United States
lUf nine now depend on private water
works, these being Hon FranciHCO, New
Orleans, Owuba. Denver, Indianapolis,
New Daren, Paterson, Scran ton and
Memphis. While a boot 200 cities and
villages have (banged from private to
Bublic ownership, only alont 2d nave
returned from public to private owner
ship. Over half the changes to publio
ownership have been made since 1800,
and only abont one-third of the reverse
changes within the same period. Oas
plants are owned and operated by IflfJ
English cities. 838 German cities, by
Vrnssols and Amsterdam and by 11
American cities. Electric lighting
plants are owned and operated by near
ly 800 American municipalities, by
many EuglUh and Austrian cities and
by 18 Uennnn cities. Fully one-third
of the English street railways are pub
licly owned and operated, notably in
.J!uhkw, Leeds, Khellield and London,
and but few expiring franchises are re
newed. .

DECREASED COLD OUTPUT.
Bbodaala's ProdaeClon of : the Freeloas
, MU1 Hbows Baduotloii.
A great deal of comment has been
aroused by the fact that the past
month's gold output of Rhodesia has
shown a reduction over the previous
month's. The reduction in the output
is not due in any way to the reefs or
producing mines becoming poorer, but
the depreciation is entirely due to the
lack of native labor, which, under nor
mal conditions, is of a plentiful char
acter. Tbe real cause of the- lower
output is primarily due to the excep
tlonally heavy rains which have fallen
in Rhodesia, which have so swollen
the rivers that the Shangaans from
the Oungunbaus' country have not
been able to cross into tbe districts
where the mines are crushing. Tbe
Donsor mine has not been fully at
work for nearly a month, and at this
moment only thirty stamps are run
ning out of fifty. Cablegrams received
from the various districts state that
the rains are ceasing, and that sum
dent labor is expected during tbe next
fortnight. As the report was in cir
culation that several mines were giv
ing out. we take this opportunity of
stating the actual cause of tbe setback
In the production of gold. This month's
return will also be lower man tne
March output, for until the rainy sea
ion Is over the supply of black labor
will not be plentiful, but by tne ena
of the month the remeay wui nave
taken place. St. James Gazette.
