SEPT H. 18%. i NOVA SCOTIAN GOLD- An interesting article in the G-reat_ West Magazine. from the pen of Mr. J. E. Hardman, M. EJ gives a more full and informing account of gold mining in Nova Scotia than we have yet seen within the same compass. The first actual discovery of gold in the sister province was made by Captain L’Estrange, R A. during a ifshing trip in 1858, but the first to direct general attention to the fact that gold existed there in paying quantities was a farmer named John Pulsiver of the Tangier distiict. This was in 1860. Two years later the govwniiient appointed a gold coin- niissioner and formed laws to govern the acquisition and working of gold bearing lands. There was quite a bcoiu in gold mining for Svc or six years, but it began to fade in 1868 when it was found that of the numer- veins discovered in various parts of the province few if any olfered the promise of rapidly gaining wealth by the methods of mining then in vogue. I From 1868 to 1882 there was de- pression in the gold producing indus- try, and distrust of the value of gold properties. In 1883 a revival began with the introduction of better machinery for crushing the quartz rock and extracting the precious metal. There have long been pretty accurate returns of the gold product- ion in the province, each person operatingamine being required to furnish quarterly a sworn statement showing to number of tons -of rock milled and the yield of gold there- from. ~ During the period from 1862 to 1897 inclusive l.029,923 Ions of rock were reduced and 660.446 ounces of gold extracted therefrom. The total value of the product estimated at $19.50 per ounce has been in thirty six years, $12.87 8.710. The average yield per ton has been 812.50 but this average has greatly fallen off from the yield in the earlier years of gold mining in the province. In 1862 the yield was $21.91 to the ton of rock crushed, while in 1897 the yield had fallen to £6.78 per ton. This by no means expresses the re- lative paying properties of a. gold mine thirty years ago and now, as the cost of milling the gold-bearing rock has been greatly re-duced. tltiil it would seem that where three tons of rock have to be qnarried and crushed to powder in order to obtain an ounce of gold the value must be pretty well earned. Lust year the Nova Scotian gold minesproduced a value of 8518.311, the lugest figure yet reached in one year with the exception of 1867 when-the value was $532634. The smallest value since 1863 was in 1874 when the gold mines yielded but 3178.243. In 1897 the gold mines of all ~Cauada yielded something over $6.000,000 worth of the precious metal. i --*Qi EDITORIAL NOTES- ' The total attendance at the St. John exhibition during the first tive days was the largest in the record of exhibitions there for a like number of days, though not so very large after all. The total was 22,227, or an average of 4,455 daily. The venerable Pictou Standard in ii local paragraph says:-“The time forthe plebiscite vote is drawing near. Many of our read ers may be surprised that so little matter has appeared in the Standard in connect- ion therewith.” There is good reason for the surprise that the Standardl takes note of. Hon. Thomas Bayard who is now reported to be dying, ~ was born at Wilmington, Delaware in 1828.1 He was Democratic senator 1869-85; and president pro teinpors of the Senate in 1881; member of the electoral commission in 1877; Secret- ary of State in 1885-9 and ambas- sador to Great Britain in I 93.
