Newfoundland has been well named the " Norway of the New World." In many i>olnt8 It strikingly reeemblee that coun- try, to whii'ti tourists no' (lock from all lands. Its deep fiords, whkh imlciit the shoree everywhere, guarded by lofty clitts, whoNo forms are rellected In the clear, bright waters of the bays, have a nniarkable resemblance to those of Norway, and are often not less magnificent In their scimery. .Many of these great watierj- ravines, running Inland for eighty or ninety miles, and exhibiting a wonderful variety of scenes along the great arms which they project In all direc- tions; and in the islands which stud their bosoms, are on a much grander xalo than the famous Norwegian fiords. Th<' two great bays nf Trinity and Placentia, which almost cut tli> island in two, have no parallel in resiiect to size among tiw Bonis of Norway. Then.

NEWFOUNDLAND AS A HEALTH RESORT. To the millions of the United States and Canada, Newfound- land is what Norway and the Highlands of Scotland now are to the European nations. Ill this seagirt Isle. Americans will find a welcome escape from the burning heat of their summers; scenery novel and attiaitive. and a bracing, exhilarating, that imparts new vigor to the frame, and sends bark the smoke-dried denizens of the great cities with the tide of health coursing through their veins, and life maxle incomi)arably l>etter worth living. There is something peculiarly balmy, soothing, and yet invigorating, in the summer breezes, whether on land or sea, cooling r.^ie fevered brain and smoothing the wrinkled brow of care. To escai)e from the sweltering summer heats of New York. Roston or Chicago, and breathe the pure air of Terra Nova: to climb its rocky heights, or wander over lt« plains or REID-NEWrOLNDI 4ND COMPANY •■ barrens." bright with wild flowers; to ply the angler's rod or "bend the oar" in the i liar water of its countless lakes; or to explore one of the great fiords which stretch their aims far inlantt, amid the wildest and grandest scenery — ail this is like passing Into a n 'W and liettir *tate of existi-nce and cnioying for a time a puier nnd better life.

The really royal fish is the salmon. Assuming that the • 'iler wants the finest sport, we tell him not to lease any angling waters, nor |)ay any rod or other fees. The men who belong to fishing clubs that lease privileges on the Restlgouche and Cascapedia rivers pay heavily. Those streams are very beautiful, and the accommodations are perfect. But the salmon fishing is not even second-class. All inland waters are free to the world's anglers in Newfoundland. He should go by the way of North Sydney, and the steamer " Bruce " to Port- aux-Basquee, Newfoundland. He will leave Port-aux-Basques at 7 a.m., and find himself in a wonderful country, riding in a train that has model Sletping. Dining and Parlor Cars. No better breakfast can be obtained on any Dining Car than the angler can get in the Diner on the Reld-Newfoundland Com- pany's system. The trains run nearly five hundred miles through almost unbroken wilderness. In about an hour, the angler will be looking at a river that lies on the left of the train— a river the very sight of which will r5. ;. i i i i Ijt»K Cpbi?i, Spnirc Itrook REID-NEWrOUNDUND COMPANY make him €>ager to cast a tine there.

Again the whirl of the railroad car wheels. Twenty niles east from the cabin, on the left, is a small stream from which. In one pool, we saw from the cars, probably twenty trout welgh- InK two pounds each. Five miles further and we reach the straggling village of !iay of Islands, at whose upper end the Humber Hiver flows into the Humber Arm of Bay of Islands. The Humber Is the largeht river on the island. Even at the Grand Kalis, a few miles up. the salmon fishing is superb. The Upper Humber aifords even better salmon fishing than Harry's it'r(W)k. .ir.d all free. Then. I'or nearly two hundred miles eastward on the railroad thei(. are numerous streams that, a short distance from the trai k. havH never wet a line.

They are so numerous tliat the most Indif- ferent 3|>ortsman. If well guided, need not return home without skins and antlers secured l)y his own hand. These splendid animals weigh anything from five hundred to seven hundred pounds, grotts weight. Their antlers are larger and finer than those found on the caribou in either .Maine or Canada. A gooleasant and profitable second string. There are also the black duck, the wild gooee and the snipe: but. in this Issue, we are dealing with the caribou, and we give the following information for the lovers of sport, written by one who has travelled over the whole country: — Caribou are strange animals, and, unlike moose or deer, have no settled habitat, so that when disturbed by the scent of man they will run great distances, never to return. It is true that, like antelope, they will stop time and again to look at the strange intruders who hunt them. I)ut this is only the casewhiie no scent has been caught. Like a bull moose answering the call, they will attempt to circle for the wind. l)Ut let them once get the scent for which Nature has especially adapted them, ami away they go, never hesitating or halting in their wild flight. One sportsman, writing of his trip to Newfoundland, says: — " Upon reaching the summit of the ridge, the crest, as it were, of the last wave of roi'ks which, ever ascending, rolled up towards the sky-line, we stood spellbound by the scene. The hunter of today, owing to the ever-decreasing amount of game, is not accustomed to the sight of wild animals asbembling together in great numbers, unless it be some particulai ly liardy and adventurous one. who, reaching the Arctic shores of North America, is privileged to witness la foule the great migration of the barren grounds caribou: hence it was that, as I sat upon the ridge and saw here and there caribou, singly. In pairs, in bunches of four, six and even ten. feeding serenely, it seemed uncanny — more like a dream than reality. The ground sank away gently from where we stood to a long narrow pond fringid with marsh, and then, by smooth incline of rocky, open country. Interspersed here and theru by clumps of stunted spruce or fir, rose to the long, even summit on the sky-line some three REID-NEWrOUNDLAND COMi'ANY mllpfi dlittant There were Beven full-Krown itaKs In ilgbt, while further aw«y. by means of U ■^ KlasK. movloK «peckii in all dlrectio ii proclalmod the '»reBenr( uf more caribou. Ai beforu mentlonei' le w J whh ailviTm', honre It was that aa we itood upon tha* wonderful spot, a few anl- main, getting our «rent, to .. alarm and ran awa>'. though without alarming the remainder. We studied every group dociillnp finally to stalk one bunch consisting of tw ataKs and five does. One of the stags waa a I .g white fellow of the true Newfoundland variety, while the other was brown, rettembling the continental woodland variety of caribou, from whicih the Newfoundland Is a distinct varia- tion. The ditfarence Is easily perceived, requiring little exptrl- ence to distinguish It. The general color of the Newfoundland variety is liKhter. and the horns more massive and palmated. to l)e account*-*! for. perhaps, by the fact that the country is far more open than the Rastern parts of Canada and the Lower Provinces. The herds, however, are comparatively undisturbed, and the moss grows In the greatest profusion. Seeing tihe\iirie- raribou t'nis^in^ lAkv ties side by side, one can readily believe what the Indians have long maintained, that the woodland caribou of the continent frequently cross the Straits of Belle Isle in particularly cold winters, seeking food and shelter on the more favored ground of Newfoundland.

All these harbour.s present some (Mstinih( feet high. They make p sublime apactacle; the river, after forming a steep rapid of 200 feet, leaping from a rocky platform sheer into the pool below, whence an immense column of mist rises to a great height, forming a beautiful rainbow. The roar of the water can be heard twenty miles away. Passing north, the tourist is amazed at the thousands of islands clustered along the shore at the deep inlets, with their wealth of striking scenery, and at the innumerable quaint fea- iDdiaii Hurboiir. Labrmliir tures whieih serve to make every step an increasing pleasure. In the far north are the Moravian settlements — Hopedale, Nain. Okak. Ramah; and the Eskimos of the region have been Chris- tianized by tho zealous German missionaries, who spend their lives there. Here the traveller may gaze iii)on the midnigiht sun in all its splendour, without the fatigue or expense incident to a trip to the North Cai«> for the purpose, and, if time permits. m«y remain over for a trip, enjoying the hospitality of the mis- sionaries, and revelling in the sport so abundant in that region The Eskimos also form an interesting study, and a liberal sup- ply of camera plates can be used to advantage. Tho return trip to Battle Harbour forms a repetition of the northward run. and from there one can proceeo nown the West Coast to Bay of Islands m the connecting steamer, or continue on to St. John's. The whole trip occupies about twelve days. (Rev. R. A. Armstrong, of Liverpool, England.) ■ -M'ter a highly interesting week at St. John's. 1 took a l.JOd- niilc trip up the East Coast of Newfoundland and all along that portion of the l.abradorean fringe whii'li in unilor Newfoundland jnrisdi.tion. I can warmly recommend this excursion to seekers of summer holiiiay, esiiecially to those who are what I am not— votaries of the rod and gun. REID-NLWrOUNDLAND COMPANY " The summer tourist here finds himaelt in a climate full of sunshine, with glorious starry nights and a breeze delicious in its freshness and its coolness tempering the July heat. The Arctic current brings down in stately procession the mightv icebergs. They hang out no lights, they sound no fog-horti. they respect no international " rule of the road," but, stranded in the shallows about the bays and promontories of the Island, and glinting in the sunshine, they are objects of exquislt.> beauty. Now rigbtrlined and vertical as a castle or an abbey, now swelling with gentle curve and sweep of outline, with the water streaming from them In many a miniature cascade, while their own little bays and pools are of that rare, bright green so ravishing in the rivers of Norway, allveni and golden them- selves in the blazing light, to fascinate and enchant th. beholder and add immeasurably to the beauty of rock and coast line." AN AMERICAN TOURIST'S VIEW. "Imagine an entire side of Broadway piled up solidly, one, two, three hundred feet in height, often more, and exposed to the charge of the great Atlantic rollers, rushing into the churches, halls and spacious buildings, thundering through the doorways, dashing In the windows, sweeping up the lofty fronts, twisting the very cornices with silvery spray, falling back in bright green scrolls and cascades of silvery foam; and yet all this imagined can never reach the sentiment of these precipices. This is the rosy time of Labrador (July). The blue Interior hills and the stony vales that wind up among them from the sea have a summer-like and pleasant air. " I proi)he<'y the time is coming when the invalid and tourist from the United States will be found spending the brief, but lovely summer here, notwithstanding its ruggedness." ROUND TRIP, $60.00.

The steamer • • • performs the service, and t/he voyage has a special feature in that it is made along the famous " French Shore." where fishery disputes between British and French subjects have prevailed for nearly two centuries. Bay of Islands is the scenic paradise of the colony; it is the outlet of the Humber — the Hudson" of Newfoundland — and its fame is yearly growing among .Ameri- cans, wiho visit it in their yachts and avail of the fishing and hunting obtiiinable in the \ipper reacihes of the river. The glori- ous scenery of the river evokes the unstinted praise of all fortunate enough to sojourn there, and the leading magazines bear testimony to the sport obtainable. Steaming onward, strik- ing panoramas of natural scenery are presented, and a side trip to Port-au-Prince bring one to a region where aborigines roamed, and where relics of their o<'Cupation may be found in every yard of the sandy ground. At intervals, as one goes north, will be seen Fr<>nch and colonial lobster factories, the existence of which forms one of the chief subjects of dispute, and the war- ships of both nations will be met. maintaining their respective patrol. Bonne Bay is the centre of the lobster industry on the shore, and every harbour has its cannery. The French fishermen will be seen at their work in their quaint costume in their tem- porary stations, built of poles and roofed with canvas. HawUe Bay is the looation of a handsome hunting lodge belonging to some Standard Oil magnates, it giving access tt> a fine fish and deen* region. Splendid trout streams are numerous along the coast, much affected by the naval officers, who have little or no competition in the more northern parts. Port Saunders is the headquarters of the British squadron. St. John's Hay has the largest French canneries on the coast, and none should miss inspecting them. Thence the Strait of Belle lale is crossed, many ocean steamers to and from Montreal beina met, and a landing Is made at Battle Harbour, the capital of I,abrudor. where a slight idea is obtained of the physical characteristics, the populatioB and the industries of that noted region. Here till' stiMiiiir ciitiiii'i'ts Willi till', Mi'jiiiii'i' wliii'li niiis (lircct to Northern Labrador, and no trip is better worth making than that afforded by the latter ship, so complete a contrast does it form to any obtainable elsewhere in America.

Hundreds of islands, great and small, make up the expanse of the noble bay. A trip round it is delightful, tor the conditions found so favorable in Trinity, and more so in Bonavistp, enjoyed to the fullest here, the voyage seeming as if made on an inland sea. The outer islands form a natural breakwater, and the fertility at the inner reaches is wonderful where the climatic condition is considered. The steamer Clyde meets the train at Lewisport, and passes down the river to the sea, every feature of the landscape charming the eye. Passing through locks between mighty hills clad with verdure, the route to the bay points is teken up. The same panorama of fishing vessels is renewed, save that the natural surroundings are more majestic, and the coasting among the islands is a revelation. Frequent calls are made, relics of the Boethics (or aborigines) are to be had in the remotest parts, while farms and fishing stations occupy every suitable point. Notre Dame Bay is also the centre of the great copper industry, which makes Newfoundland the sixth largest copper-producing country in the world. At Tilt Cove is a copper mine employing 300 men, and yielding an annual profit of $350,000, which none should pass without visit- ing. At Tilt Cove and Little Bay other copper mines have been in operation; and at Pilley's Island a large Iron pyrites deposit. The entrance to this harbour is a most effective picture, the great natural attractions being heightened by the contrast to the mining station, hewed out, as it were, from the wilderness. Steamers for copi>er and pyrites and lumber — for saw mills are found at Botwoodville and points along the railway — are met with frequently, and everything betokens industrial prosperity. At Snook's Arm another whaling station is to be found. Twillin- gate is the northern metropolis, whence are prosecuted the l^brador fisheries by thousands of fishermen. The larger fiords in this bay give access to the finest deer country in the island, and every autumn the fisher-folk, when their regular avocation is ended, proceed to the interior to shoot caribou for their win- ter food. The Hall's Bay water-shed is a favorite resort for the deer, and the easy carriage makes It possible to secure excep- tional facilities for the sport. The Exploits is well known in the colony for its salmon and trout and is one of the most fished streams we have, being so accessible from every quarter.

In the town are still visible the relics of the French occupation— ^the old church, the tombstones, with their Basque inscriptions that cannot be translated to-day, and the fort which crowns Mount Pleasant, from which eminence a sublime view of the bay and the country round is obtained. A set of communion plate presented by William IV. when captain of a British warship upon the coast is still shown to visitors and is highly prized. The scenery in and around Placentia is per- haps the loveliest in the Island, the noble arms of the estuary being real marvels, and. what is no less impoitant. the trout fishing unexcelled. Sea trout run up the rivers and supply anglers with rarest sport. Argentia, a few miles away, is equally noted for its attractions, and then a run in the bay takes the visitor to Black River, the scene of tue great winter herring-fishery. The steamer on Placentia Bay is the "Argyie," a sister ship of the " Clyde," and, as she coasts its west side, an amazing variety of scenery in islands, rivers and noble hills is presented. Turning her prow eastward again, she reaches the "Cape Shore" (so cEJled from Cape St. .Mary's), the greatest fishing ground in Newfoundland, and here can be seen from 300 to 400 skiffs, with their crews of five to eight men, dotting the whole expanse of ocean and seeming a real marine town Rounding the cai>e, St. Mary's Bay is emtered. a lesser bo 1 FI,.\CK\"I'IA (Kail iiMincc'iiiihl Bnrin SI.

Leaving Port-aux-Basques, the steamer, a slightly reduced model of the " Bruce," equally elegant and comfortable, makes the run of 400 miles in four days, a harbour being entered every few hours, so that nothing of interest along the coast is overlooked. For the first hundred miles one skirts rampart-like clilfs, broken here and there by fissures and estuar- ies in which are situated the picturesque fishing villages. .\ famous deer country is back from this coast, with numerous splendid salmon rivers. Rose Blanche, l.a Poile and Burgeo are typical fishing villages. Balena Is the home of the scientific whal- ing fishery, where leviathans 90 to 100 feet long can be seien. Bay d'Espoir Is the greatest deer region on this coast. Every winter fully 1,000 carcasses are brought out from the uplands by the fishermen who hunt there. Harbour Breton is the 'headquarters of Newman's old-time plantation, such as existed In pre-revolu- tlonary days in Virginia. Fortune Bay is the " home of the herring " and the scene of the enforcement of the famous " Bait Act " against the French. St. Jacques is the scene of the bait purveying industry. Grand Bank and Fortune are the principal centres whence are prose- cuted the cod fisheries on the Grand Banks, immortalizod by Kipling in his " Captains Courageous." Oft Burin Peninsula lie the rocky Islets of St. Pierre and .Miquelon, which belong to France and are the headquarters of the Gallic fisheries in North America, which all the world knows from " the French shore question." A visit to them alone is worth the trip, and the steamer makes a three-hour stay, ample time in which to observe the chief features of the town of St. Pierre, where practically the entire population reside. It is a quaint little place — a bit of old-time France transplanted to this rocky isle, rich in subjects of interest for the artist and student as well as the sightseer. Burin is an evidence of human effort in overcoming natural diffi- culties, in the carving out of a home at the base of the beetling cliffs, and the rugged picturesque scenery of this neighbourhood evokes admiration invariably. Thence the run in Placentia Bay to the harbour of the name, which Is the terminus of the trip, is an increasing pleasure, the noble bay, 65 miles deep, being framed by a background of splendid coast, while Nature has lavished many scenes of massive grandeur over the pano- rama. From Placentia the steamer i)roceeds to St. Mary's, Tre- passey, around Cape Race, thence to Ferryland. Cape Broyle, Fertnuse. Renews and on to St. Jol -i^s.

THE PULP INDUSTRY. Newfoundland presents unrivalled facilities for the prosecu- tion of paper pulp manufacture. There are immense areas covered with spruce, yellcv birch of fine grain is especially plentiful at Grand Lake, and also in Avalon Peninsula. There are splendid water powers in the island at present lying idle. The low temperature causes a large rainfall and a small evaporation. All these circumstances mark out Newfound- land as one that will rank as a pulp-making counto'- On several of the rivers on the west and east coasts there are eligible sites for prosecuting this industry. MINER AL RESO URCES COPPER. Since copper mining commenced, in 18<)4, the value of copper ore exiMjrted has been $23,041,382, and the quantity of ore has been 8.500,000 tons. Newfoundland stands sixth in the list of the copper producing countries of the world. The principal mines are Tilt Cove. Hetts'CNive .nxl Little Bav, all in Nolle Oanie Hav. Tilt Cove realized a net profit of C 70,000 sterling last year. and the profits this year are expected to rea<'h CIOO.OOO ster- ling. In the same bay copper has been found in many locali- ties; noticeably in Stocking Harbour, Sandy Cove Island. Hall's Bay and New Bay. The copper-bearing deposits are ver>' widely distributed, and many are not yet prospected. According to the Geological Survey's Reports, copper-bearing rocks have a deve- lopiuciil of 't.tKKi square miles thron>;hoMl the island. Copper is also found on tlie north shore of Hay of Islands, at I'oit-.in-I'ort Hay, at iMirtuiie MarlHinr. Cann Island, Chapel Island, Hurliour .^L•lill. and in I'laceiiti.i Hay many saniples of )tvvy copper have lleen foiuid. IRON ORE. At Bell Island, Conception Bay, one of the most valuable Iron mines in the world h.is lieen opened recently, now owned liy the Nova Scotia Steel Co. and the Dominion Iron and Steid Co.
