Reena, Assintnora, N. W. T., / Canapa, Jan. 13, 1883. \

T'@ the Editor of the Examaner. Sin,—I have, from a gentleman here,

to the agricultural prospects of the North- west, upon which the future of this coun- try so much depends. I need not dwell upon the fertility of the soil, or the immense area suited to agricultural purposes; for that has been abundantly established. Last year, from the lateness of the spring, and heavy snow-fall>in March, followed by severe cold and snow in May, which lasted three or four days, farmers were unable to ;ut in their crops until June, or about hree we¢ks later than the usual time. The rains which ustally set in about the middie of June did» not come until July; consequently when the usual time for harvest arrived, the crops were still green, and fears were for a time entertained that the early frosts would set in before the grain was sufli- ciently matured, but such was not the case; the month of August opened with clear, warm weather, and heavy dews at vight, which continued well into Septem- ber, and the cr)ps matured as if by magie, and were harvested without a drop of rain. The most delightful weather was ex- p-rienced. The first frost was on the 6th September, and the first snow on the 15th of October, but lasted only for an hour or two, followed by fine warm days and some frosts at nights, The old settlers say the spring above mentioned was the latest within their recollection.. Judging from the splendid crops harvested in good order, in the tace of @dverse circumstances, | think we may feel comfortable that the future importance of the great Northwest prairie as a grain raising country is well assured.

The Canada Pacific Railway has made

is 225 miles west of their last winter ter- minus, and we have now a daily mail, telegraph, telephones, and express office, three banks, five lumber yards, and a number of gaod stores; three yood hotwls, and several second and third-class ones ; an express train daily with a pulman car, also four freight trains a day. A second-class car is at- tached to a freight train going West from this, and it isa great boon to the pioneers of the still further West. The track is laid for 130 miles west of Regina, and trains are run that far.

Settlers are to be found in advance of the Railway to the foot of the Rockies; and we expect an immigration in the spring. Lands rapidly increase in value; the Syndicate lands sell at $2.50 per acre, sub- ject to settlement duties; but not to actual résidence. Under the present regulations the purchaser is obliged to break, sow, and reap a crop on one-eighth of his purchase each year, until one-half of his purchase has been cultivated, and upon which he gets a rebate of $1.25 per acre. You know the conditions of Government lands, so | need nut mention them.

We can get plenty of good water by melt- ing snow, but the Canada Pacific Railway has a well sunk to a depth of over 200 feet. They first sunk a shaft and then bored, and drove a six inch pipe, after the manner of artesian wells. They claim to have procured sufficient water at eighty feet for any Ordinary well, but as this is to be an important centre they must thave a full supply of water for their locomotives. At the depth of a little over 200 feet they struck a bed of gravel, and, the water has risen 145 feet in the well. So that the water supply now is only a matter of dollars and cents. At the Lieut.-Governor’s they get a good supply at about 130 feet, and now have sixty-five feet of water—said to be of exceltent quality.

The land around Regina for forty or fifty miles is of excellent quality—a black clayey loam from two to five feet deep, fine rolling prairie, free from scrub and sloughs. Town lots sell high for a new place, some as high as $1,250 for 27x125 feet.

We have organised a church with a‘l the officers complete. A room has been rented for three months at $50 a month, at the end of which time we hope to have our own building and a small parsonage. We are collecting for that purpose. The Presby- terians and Methodists also have con- gregations,

As fuel, poplar can be had at ten dollars a cord ; it has to be hauled twelve or fifteen miles. The Canada Pacific Railroad are supplying us with Anthracite coal at $16.25 per ton. In the fall it was $26 a ton, but next year we expect coal from the Saskat- | chewan at $5 or $6 a ton.

This must. be a great country, and fore- | casts as the years roll. on, the busy loom ; | the great corn mart ; the lowing herd wend- ‘ing its way to well built homesteads; the

rise of municipalities ; the pro. and con. of | debate in our legislative halls; the march of civilisation with all its joys and sorrows ; ‘the call of the Church bell to the House of Prayer, and the gay marriage, and alas ! ‘the solomn funeral. Onward and onward will be the motto, until. the great Norih- | West will be the pride of Canada and the

wonder of the world.

| I am, Sir,

| Yours truly, ALFRED OsBORNE.

| A British Columbia despatch says no credence is placed in the story of a pro- bably Fenian raid, and if any should be at- tempted the invaders would meet w.th a reception which would materially alter their calculations.

Terrific Explosion in California.

POWDER WORKS BLOWN UP WITH GREAT LOSS OF LIFE,

The total loss by the explosion at Ber- keley, California, on the 22nd, is $100,000. The giant powder works were dam $60,000, and the acid works of Judson & Co., $40,000. It is impossible to ascertain the exact loss of life, but it is estimated between 30 and 40, The first explosion oceurred about four o’clock in the packing house, io which about 200 pounds of powder was stored. As soon asthe packing houe exploded a number of Chinamen in the other departments fled for their lives and had reached the open space when the mixing house exploded, killing the most of them in their tracks. It is thought that Flerlononk Kompt was killed by this ex- plosion.

ANOTHER EXPLOSION.

In about a minute one of the smaller houses exploded, followed immediately by a fourth explosion, which doubtless killed the surviving employees. A workman named August Forgolsky was very seriously injured. All the other white men have been accounted for and the dead are all Chinamen. From 30 to 40 houses on the point, occupied by employes, had most of their windows shattered and the doors and sides in many instances dashed in by the concussion.

After each explosion the woodwork of the buildings caught fire and burned steadily for several hours. Eniforts to prevent the flamas reaching the main magazine, con- taining an immense quantity of powder, were happily successful. The consequences would have been most frightful had the large magazine exploded. One of the sup- erintendants stated that there is enough powder stored there to have destroyed everything on the peninsula.

The cause of the firat explosion remains a mystery. Twelve bodies were counted lying in the debris, and the coroner's in- vestigation will probably disclose more than double that number. A force of men were engaged all night extinguishing the fire and recovering bodies.

A FRIGHTFUL SCENE.

A Berkeley despatch of last night says that it is now known that the number of killed was not as great as at first reported. Not ever thirty are missing. The fire is ‘still raging and more explosions are expect-~ ed momentarily. The scenein the vicinity is terrible. Bodies can be seen lying near the mine, cn fire, but the men dare not rescue them for fear of their own lives. ‘The assistant superintendent is missing and is‘suppused to be killed. The superinien- dent was not at the works. A workman named Oscar Forgofsky was pulled from the ruins, soon after the explosion, serious- ly hurt. Seven Chinese have been taken from the debris, all badly hurt.

All the houses in a radius of half a mile are compietely shattered, and most, of the occupants were thrown to the floor. Sheds and barns were laid flat. The buildings of the Judson Works, on the side of the hill where the blasting powder was manufac- tured, were thrown over, and will propably have to be rebuilt.

MAGAZINE IN DANGER,

The fire is still burning, and at nine a. m. a large megazine is in danger. No at- tempt is made to check the jire, owing to the danger. Many workmen escaped mir- aculously. To-day is the first Sunday in many months that the works were ranning in full blast. Crders of seventy tons were loaded on schooners at the wharf. A driver with a team and a load of powder on the wharf jumped when the first explo- sion was heard into the water, and escaped when his wagon load exploded. The wharf has taken fire, and is burning rapidly,

HOSPITALS

have been improvised in the undamaged houses and the wounded cared for. Physi- cians have come from Oakland and other towns. This is the most disastrous explos- ion that ever occurred at these works. Shonld the magazine explode all the houses in Berkeley wiil be damaged. Efforts will be made to subdue the flames and avert this. — i

A wretched old hermit named Austin Risley, who had lived in mysterious retire- ment for many years near Aurora, Ohio, was found dead in his barn a few days ago. Curiosity led his neighbors to the hovel in which he had lived, but, with a natural aversion, they avoided touching the worn and dirty clothing which had been taken from the hermits body. At last, however, one of the visitors took it upon himself to search the heap of rags, and there, stored away in wallets, in the lining of the coat and in the stockings, he found greenbacks and bank-notes to the amount of $15,027. The neighbors at once jumped to the con- clusion that treasures of gold andsilver must be buried near the house, and have been digging for them ever since.

The receipts at the New York Custom House on Tuesday lest for duties on im- ports amounted to $1,017,395 85. This is the largest sum ever taken in one day since Collector Robertson began his term of office. The receipts have approached $1,000,000 for the day’s business on several occasions, but they never equalled Tues- day's total.
