localities in the province notably the | miilepsegate gold field in lu '! nenburg county which deriyts the name from a lake in the vicinity on the borders of which gold bearing 1 quartz has been discovered by micmac indians the existence of gold in ' the quartz veins distributed through luuenburg county was made known some twenty years ago but before any !

veins of quartz measuring 5 9 and 15 inches in width respectively and through which coarse free gold is plen tifully disseminated no machinery lias as yet been erected on this prop i city but we are informed by a gentle man recently from a mine that about 6 tons of selected quartz taken from the shaft had been crushed and pro duced no less than within a fraction of 100 ounces of gold if the quartz was all rich as specimens from the mine forwarded to this office and said to be fair average samples such a re sult might not unreasonably be expec ted on the opposite side of the lake about three-quarters of a u\\\,e from the owen mine on a property known as the birch brook several openings of about 8 feet in depth have been made at intervals on a lead extending over a distance of 800 feet the vein shows from 2 to 3 feet in width and free geld is to be seen in all of the pits work on this property was suspended last autumn pending the erection of crushers and other machinery in the spring when it is expected that mining operations will be vigorously resumed and it is ' predicted that as greater depth is ; reached at birch brook and the | owen mines they will develop into very valuable properties capable of yielding gold in large quantities at small cost it is not improbable that the miilepsegate gold field will rank high among the gold producing districts of the province of nova scotia — canadian mining review — — — am . those north carolinians who have dallied with coalition and liberalism ; under the impression that they would ; not drift into the republican party should heed the fate of the honest readj uster over in virginia in the i beginning very many worthy men followed mahone and they called 1 themselves readjuster democrats i then they dropped the word demo crat and called themselves readjus i ters in progress of time they reach j cd the stage where they were content | to be known as readjuster repub licans and now mahone and tho*e who still follow his lead proclaim themselves the republican party in i virginia by this course in the i short space of four yours good demo crats have by a process of evolution !
