Phosphates of the Ottawa District.

[Correspondence of The Examiner.]

Orrawa, Aug. 23.

: The Ottawa district is attracting much attention for its mineral deposits. As the lumbering business is largely monopolized by men of large capital, men of small cap- ital havebeen looking to the deposits of The whole district north of Ottawa possesses mineral Tron plumbago, galena, phosphate, asbestos and mica are found in large quantities. There is a large section of unexplored country be-

‘the evidence is the frequent outcropping on

CONSUMPTION |jieved to be rich in all these minerals, and o | the surface. REE ALN ATS ARE OSS

| As an investment for capitalists, phos- | phate at present is receiving the chief at-

‘tention. It is the most plentiful and re- ‘quires less capitalin mining than other ‘ores. Prof. Boyd Dawkins, an eminent ‘English geologist, has stated that ‘‘phos- phates is one of the most important re- ‘sources of Canada.” In the Ottawa dis- trict occur the largest deposits of this mineral, In other sections of the ‘country it is found principally in veins, .chimneys and»pockets, more or less mixed with iron pyrites-and mica. In the Ottawa district the deposits: are in large beds or bunches between limestone and granite ‘walls, thus leaving it unnecessary to timber ithe shafts. Crystals of great size have been taken out, but miners break them up very small to prevent specimen hunters ifrom carrying them away, as they prefer jlarge crystals. The purity of the product | depends largely upon the way it is handled ‘at the mines. ‘ Cobbing, or separating the ‘hornblende, mica and pyrites from it, is i very necessary, and this, although the prin- ‘cipal expense, can be readily done by ex- ‘perienced miners. Farmers’, phosphate is the name given to a grade taken out by farmers who find deposits on their farms, and, having no experience or facilities for

cleaning the product, allow much dirt to

remain with the pure article. This depre- ciates the value 15 or 20 per cent. The farmers’ phosphate is still of a much higher grade than the South Carolina or Charleston rock, but the Canadian article is not-as easily attacked by acid in its pre- paration for the soil. The deposits in some parts of Ontario where the rock is soft are worked simply with the pick and shovel, whilst in the Ottawa district blasting is necessary. Although the industry of phos- phate mining is in itsfinfancy, the question of its being a paying one is now out of the region of speculation. Notwithstanding this, there has been but comparatively little development owing to the want of capital, and many of the best lots are held for speculation. The cost of raising a ton to the shaft’s mouth is $4 from a depth of twenty feet, and not any more down to one hundred and fifty feet. The value of. phosphates per ton at. Mon- treal, from which port it is shipped largely to England, is from $12 to $18, according to the purity of the article. Within the last three years a good market has been found inthe United States. Mr. Boyd Smith, of Washington, D. C., a mine owner, has latterly shipped all his product to Philadelphia with satisfactory results. Asan artificial fertilizer its superiority when treated chemically has never been doubted, but the question as to whether the raw phosphate can be ground fine enough for assimilation or absorption as plant food is yet undecided. Some English experimenters upon its effects declare that there isno difference in results between the. application of superphosphates and finely ground phosphate. There is an

phate is equal to the super-phosphate, then the commercial value of the mineral must steadily increase and the deposits in the Ottawa District of granulated or ‘‘sugar phosphate” will become more valuable. Al- though not so pure, perhaps, as the crystals yet an immense amount of labor is saved by its granulated state. The manufacture of superphosphates is a new industry in Canada, and as agriculturists everywhere are beginning to learn the value of super- phosphate when applied to land that has been exhausted by the constant growth of cereals, the prospect seems bright for those whose enterprise has led them to establish manufactories.

The process of manufacture is by grind- ing the raw’ product into fine powder, which is air-floated and by suction drawn into chambers and mixed with sulphuric acid until it is about the consistency of paste. In twenty-four hours it dries and becomes hard, it is then broken up and is ready for the market. Liquid acid phosphate and dry acid phosphate used as a substitute for cream of tartar, are made by the following process : The purest green-colored phos- phate is carefully selected by hand and

made into superphosphate. Then the soluble acid phosphate is leached off from the superphosphate, which gives the acid phosphate. To

make dry acid the process is to concentrate it in enamelled kettles; when it is evapor- ated down to a syrupy or pasty mass, it is then mixed with starch, dried and ground, when it can be used in the preparation of baking powder or in the place of cream of tartar.

Among the papers read at the meeting of the Royal Society of Canada was one by W. F. Ganong, which, if his theory be cor- rect, is of value to those interested in the multiplication of the succulent oyster. The paper opened with a sketch of the progress of knowledge of the distribution of marine invertebrata animals on the east coast of North America. The division was intoSyr- tensian, Acadian, Virginian and Carolinian faunee as accepted by students to-day. At- tention was called to the well-known oc- currence of Southern or Virginian forms in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, at Sable Island and other points on the coasts of Nova Sco- ‘tia, Maine and Massachusetts. A table was

ties, mingled with more northern forms. There is eviderce to show that changes aro going on and facts drawn from Indian shell heaps, from dead beach and dead dredged shells, and from old books, show that these southern forms had formerly a wider range than now, and they are gradually disappear- ing. He maintains that the sand is steadily sinking in all this region. As a conse- quence of this depression on the coast of eastern America, the currents have been changed and the depth of water increased. The phenomena of the disappearance of shell fish from localities where they were formerly found is explained by the increas- ing depth of water affected by the cold cur- rents from the coast of Labrador. Oyster and mussel beds in the northern region are found only in shallow water where the tides are sluggish, and the water, warmed by the sun’s rays, does not mix to any great ex- tent with the cold currents. The rapid tide in the Bay of Fundy is unfavorable to the growth of the oyster, owing to the mixture of. cold currents with the water of the coast. Onthe other hand, the Straits of Northumberland are favorable for the cultivation of the ‘‘breedy creatures,” as the tides flow slowly and the water is generally shallow. ; W. W.S.

The UlundafAshore.

THE FURNESS LINE STEAMER ON COW LEDGE, N. S., IN A DANGEROUS POSITION.

At an early hour on Wednesday morn- ing the St. John Sun received the follow- ing despatch from Digby: ‘‘ A large un- loaded steamer from St. John for Halifax, struck on Cow Ledge, Long Island, at 11 o'clock last evening, and is reported to be a total wreck.”

It wassoon learned that the steamer Ulunda, of the Furness Line, which left this port for London via Halifax, at five o'clock, on Tuesday afternoon, was the vessel reported in the above despatch. People were surprised at this news, as the weather was fine and clear here and little appearance of thick weather until yesterday morning.

Capt. Clark telegraphed S. Schofield, agent of the line, that the steamer went ashore at Cow Ledge, Long Island, near Briar Island, Nova Scotia, and that her forward compartments were filled with water, but that the engine room and after hole were dry. The captain hoped to be able to patch up the damage and. float the vessel at high water. Thisis all the in- formation Mr. Schofield received.

At telegram to Vroom & Arnold stated that the steamer had bilged and there was no hope of floating her.

The Ulunda is a vessel of 1161 tons _re- gister, and was built at Glasgow in 1885. Of the seventy-six steamers of the Furness line which have called at this port, the Ulunda is the first one to have any trouble going or coming.

The Ulunda had four passengers for London, two ladies and two gentlemen, and a small quantity of freight, including bes cases of lobsters, and one bale of raw urs.

The Prince is impartial in his favors to- wards statesmen of both parties but his inclinations are said to be decidedly Lib- eral, In this respect he differs from his Royal mother, who has been a life long Conservative, and has always found it diffi- cult to treat a Liberal ministry with the deference due from the Crown to the real representatives of power, The Prince of Wales sees the tendency of the times and does not mean to stand in the way. He is said to have expressed decided approval in his interview with his nephew, the German Emperor, of that potentates enlightened regard for the future welfare of the working classes, The Prince is quoted as having uttered the opinion re- cently that the British aristocracy had much to thank Mr. Parnell and the Irish party for, for inside tracking the car of revolution in England until the Irish prob- lems had been settled.
