This ia not it large sum in view ot the vast extent ol the Dominion and its varied and valuable mineral resources. Wi- oount in tens of millions of dollan the annual output ol our coal mines, and our mines oi gold, silver, copper. iron, nickel and other valuable metals. There is oil and natural gal beneath the soil oi Oanadain various sections and it is fel' and believed that great aa is the mineral wealth sires' explored and brought to light, much yet remains to be found. Thcretors, and especially in view of the werydnrge expsnriitnrein other lines made by the Government of Canada, we do no* think the owlay for maintaining the Geological Survey is by any means too large. And we believe the staif, both in the head oiiloe at Ottawa and those rn- gaged in outside exploration is mads up of competent men, well skilled in their calling. What ws _do ohleot to is tha distribution ol the work and the almost entlre neglect or this section of the Dominion. It seems to have been taken for granted, with some rsason, we admit, that Prince Edward Island is an unpromlslng field in which to look for mineral wealth; and so almost nothing has been dons in this quarter in that respect. The result is that we have all sorts oi geological explorations carried on ln dis- tant and almost inacessiolc regions, like Hudson Bay, Luke Athabasku or the valley of the Mackenzie River, where if valuable`mst$ls or mineral wealth shcu’d be found nothing would now coma oi it, unless by lucky chance n mine of gold, silver or diamonds should be un~ eovarod. And it is tobe obneryed that geology is n science that is iuli of aur- prisas. Rich stores of wealth have been _found from time to time in most unex- pected places. This is true of gold,ci coal, of natural gas, cf petroleum, salt and other minerals cfgreat economical value. Something more ought to bs done and without delay to test the rock strata beneath Prince Edward Island. We nm here, on the very wharf oi the country, where mineral discovery would be of the _utmost value, in the oldest and the most thickly settled of all the federated Pro~ vinces and no man knows, except in s few isolated spots, what lies even one hundred Or two hundred feet beneath our sou. oor`soiiisi.iion`is that ess ieasesi' Govemment should cause thorough tests to bs made by boring.We believenlao that private enterprise might ilud it profitable to undertake some work along the same iinss. To this end a company was in- corporated atths last session oi the Legislature, of which we have heard nothing since. The ccntlguity of the Island to the rich mineral resources of thc sister Provinces gives hope, even thought cur surface for- mation of sand stonelocks uupromising. The shores of the Island lie in sight ol the coal mines of Picton, and almost; in sight of the oil fields of New Brunswick, and the mineral wealth of Cape Breton. A further incentive to exploration of our rocks may he ionud in the immense impetus whl \ a valuable mineral dis- covery, say of coal, oil,0r natural gas, would give to the industrial and mer oantils life of our Province. We have in years past frequently directed attention to this matter. and we rsturn to it now as one which we' conceivetobe of vital importance. What the Governor of North Carolina said to the Governor_South Carolina in hy gona days when they had settled their inter-state dldlcuities, has sincs been many times ' repeated. “lt's along time between snake." The incident is new recalled by the iaot that when theU two Govemon of the Carolinas met the other day it was discovered that they are both prohibitiouista, and so with them it is still "a long time between pen Early Friday Morning.

The most frui ful cause has been fouudin breaking miie. The rails break because they are hurriedly and imperfectly made from imperfeoi material._ lt tuma ou* that the quality oi rails supplied lo the railways by the great steel trust is vastly inferior tx what it was years ago. In the msantimethv weight oi the railp has been increased from ill toS0 pounds and from 80 to 101 pounds, per yard, to bear the woightoi the rnuoh heavier rolling stock. it is found, however, that the 100 round riil-i now made are not giving as goo! service as ihe H) pound rails turned out a few years ago. Ou the one hand th- rallway eoinpvnies charge the rail-mailers with “knowingly making rails which break and kill people." On the olhe hand the r.-illmakers any the railways will not pay the price for uooi rails, and inuei. have their “rush orders" filled a - quickly that the process ol rolling thi rails is nccessariy hurried and impeifcc rails supplied. MrSchwnb, the great steel magnate, affirms that he wouldjlikt to supply rails which would not break, at about three times thc present prices. Lie complains that the railway companies demand a hard rail that will wear a long while, and to make them thus hard ln- volves making them brittle. There it not much couiiort in all this for thi- pussengers, whotakc their lives in their hands when they set out on a railway journey. Last year the Cnnudlin dairy farmers, after supplying the home markets of six million-1, sold abroad cheese mid butter tu the valus oi’ twenty-six million dollaii, being about ten million dollars worth more than they sold in 18177 and eighteen million dollars Qworth more than they sold twenty years ago.
