Original copies in printed paper covers are filmed beginning with the front cover and ending on the last page with a printed or illustrated impres- sion, or the back cover when appropriate. All other original copies are filmed beginning on the first page with a printed or illustrated impres- sion, and ending on the last page with a printed or illustrated impression. The last recorded frame on each microfiche shall contain the symbol — ^- (meaning "CON- TINUED"), or the symbol V (meaning "END"), whichever applies. Maps, plates, charts, etc., may be filmed at different reduction ratios. Those too large to be entirely included in one exposure are filmed beginning in the upper left hand corner, left to right and top to bottom, as many frames as required.

Their object is to show the supporters oi' livnu Jidc mining industry, that Nova Seotia really is a gold re!,Mon of some capacity, where Judiciously applied caj)ital would obtain profi!a!]Ie veturns. Apart from the financial depression now prevailing throughout the Dominion, Canada never has been in a position to foster speculative entcr])rize, as the more familar pursuits of farming, lumbering, ship building and fishing absorb all there is to spare of iiccumulatcd wealth. In ordinary eominercial transactions hero, 12^ per annum is no uncommon rate for acconiinoilation, wiiiie for mining operations 2j to 5 ' a month was often charged with money plentiful, and now it could not be obtained for tlie latter purposes on any terms. It is natural, therefore, that one should look to the English Market where capital is abundant, and generally ready to assist legitimate vcn'ure. The unembcUishcd tabular statement of fifteen years' resuita is preceded by the customary Annual Review, and a republication of the o]iinion of disinterested authorities concerning this subject, in the belief that, frequent announcement unstained by tlicts, will eventually gain for it the desired recognition.

It appeared (piite clear that there was throughout u great part of this region a sufficiently large )iortion of gold extending throughout these (]iiart/.ose deposits, whether hods or vc ins, to pay well for mining cnterprL-^e. Was it not possihlc, then, instead ot 000 or 800 men, to emplov 6000 or 8000, or even more, in raising gold, to the advantage of all '•oncerned ! Undouhtedly it (night to lie so, for there was no douht here there was a gold held such as was seldom to he met with. There oui;ht to be machinery and appliances hronght to bear upon these mines such as would ensure a very handsome return to capital invested in Htidertakin!:s intended to last over a long series of years. This was a poitit of almost imperial impor'anec, for it appeared that up to tho present time the resources ot the coui.fry had been developed to a ])itifully small extent; and no douht this was hecau^c the nndertakinir had heply of wbich nothing conld be successfully carried on. In spite of previous causes of failure, it was evident that many of them woHld disappear the moment that large capit.slists were prepared to go into the matter, because if largo companies were formed in Knirland they would of course employ agents familiar with the machinery and applianies requisite for successful mining, who would open workings upon a very diB'ereut scale from anything that hati yet been attempted."
