Dominion. This attention is not confined to one portion alone of the Dominion, although the major part of tile promotions have been of Hritish Columbia properties, but Ontario, Quell, and Nova Scotia have shared in tiie renewed Interest.

It is devoutly to be desired that this fust real awakening of interest in Canada's mines may prove permanent, and that the bad odor which has attached to Canadian investments may be permanently disuelled. The renewed activity in the large low grade deposits of Nova Scotia promises most excellent and satisfactory suits, and not the least favor able feature tnat almost, lining eitti. from its I'nder the this activity is the fact all the capital required is from the Province ilself uster Province of Quebec, business management promised, it is a safe thing to predict that the gold mining Industry of Nova Scotia will attain dimensions never seen bef ire. ith results more in ke. ing with its unquestioned natural resources.

An Increased produc tion of half a million dollars rrom tne only two mines the district yet has isi very gratifying, but the failure to add one or more mines to th" dividend list, even after the lapse of four months ot this year, must emphasize the caution previously advised by this Journal. Some "stupendous results'' are predicted from the stamp mill tests ot Rol ore. which predictions we venture to think are premature.

If test lots of the low grade ores found iu the Virginia, Jumbo, Center Star and Deer Park claims had also been subject. 'd to the milling tests and had shown equal p. or value re. overeu, uie.c might have been a solid foundation for believing that the roar of many stamps will shortly be heard in the valleys of the Columbia, and of Sheep Creek. D.iubtl.

ss such tests ill be made, but prediction at present are premature. It has been known sine IVIj that certain claims (Le Hoi, Cliff, Kvenlnff Star and others! carried ores containing particles of free metallic gold, and to cause has ascribed the great irregularity in assays of "grab" samples. Probably the section which will receive as much attention as any of tho newer ones, will the large division of East Kootenay. on which the Spokane promoter already has his eye. The topography of this division is favorable for rapid development, and rail transportation is an assured fact.

Some of the best authorities predict a future for Mast Kootenay, greater than that of West Kootenay. From this present notoriety as. a mining country, much good should result ultimately to Canada. For 15 years the Review has been the advocate of legitimate mining in the Dominion, believing that the greatest natural source of wealth the country possesses is in its minerals. It believes now that 'these resources will receive due recognition and will reward Investors, and that only the folly, cupidity and shortsightedness of the class known as promoters will avail to ire vent Canada reaching that plan amongst countries to which its natural wealth entitles it.
