The plan as originally taken Tip more than a year ago was confined to manufacturers in Hamilton, Ont., but at present it is proposed to cover a wider field. .Attention is just now centering on Hastings creek, eight miles east of Nome. There prospectors have uncovered a gravel bed fifteen feet in thickness and of unknown breadth, extending from the guh-h way up into the hills.

The .Minnesota men paid $393,500 for an immense tract of white pine, tributary to Duluth and Iron Range, and the Alger. Smith & Co.'s roads and the Cloquet river. R. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade says-: ■’The sky is not cloudless, but there has been no backward movement of business this week. The chief drawback of tlie week has been the intense heat in some sections of the West, which was more efficient in retarding business than the lower temperature East was in stimulating it. Crop advices continue ns cheerful as nt any time lately, and the labor situation shows no important changes in working foiq-es. Failures for the week were 171 in the I’nited States, against 193 last year, and 29 in Canada, against !♦> last y<-ar.”
