 PREFACE. 
 
 A Gazetteer of British North America, containing reliable information 
 touching the climatic conditions of the different Provinces, the relative fer- 
 tility of their soils, the vast improvements made in agriculture, commerce 
 and trade, modes of travel and transportation, mining and educational 
 interests, and embodying in a compact form all the outer facts, geograjihical, 
 topographical, statistical and mercantile of every section of British North 
 America, has become an acknowledged necessity ; and such a work will 
 doubtless be gladly welcomed by the people of this continent, and by the 
 commercial, manufacturing and emigrating classes in Great Britain and the 
 continent of Europe, and recognized as an indispensable companion and 
 guide by the crowds of tourists, travellers, sea-side excursionists and sports- 
 men who are tempted in search of health or pleasure, information or profit, 
 to visit the sea-side resorts fringing the line of the "Intercolonial;" the 
 romantic mountain-girt shores of Gaspe and Labrador ; the celebrated gold 
 fields and coal mines of Nova Scotia and British Columbia ; the famed 
 salmon rivers of the Lower St. Lawrence and New Brunswick ; the inex- 
 haustible fisheries of Newfoundland and Cape Breton ; the fair and fertile 
 plains of Prince Edward Island, the youngest daughter of the Dominion ; 
 the rich copper and silver mines of Lakes Huron and Superior ; and the 
 great valley of the Saskatchewan . 
 
 The utility of a work of this kind., drawing its facts from original and authen- 
 tic sources, treating on a variety of topics, all of them of interest, many of 
 them novel and heretofore unnoticed, becomes the more evident when the 
 increasing intercourse between the different provinces and the growing com- 
 merce between the Dominion and other countries are taken into account. 
 
 The nature and extent of the labor involved in the preparation of this 
 Gazetteer may be inferred from the fact that there are 6,000 Cities, Towns 
 and Villages within the Dominion of Canada and Newfoundland ; that each 
 of the 6,000 had to be classed in alphabetical order ; the geographical position 
 described ; the railway or steamboat connections, postal or telegraphic facili- 
 ties, distance from important centres ; also the manufacturing, mining, 
 agricultural, shipbuilding and fishery industries; and the population, as far 
 as it could possibly be obtained. Also, that the locality and extent of over 
 1,500 Lakes and Rivers had to be described.
 
 VI PREFACE. 
 
 The Gazetteer is classed under three heads : First, the Cities, Towns, 
 Villages, Settlements, Counties and Provinces ; second, the Lakes and 
 Rivers ; and third, a Table of Routes. The latter is of itself an intrinsic 
 part of the work. It shews the proximity of the railway stations, and the 
 sea, lake and river ports to every city, town, village and settlement, in British 
 North America, thus informing the reader how he may reach any desired 
 place without unnecessary delay. 
 
 The minuteness of the details and the fulness of the information embodied 
 in the Gazetteer can best be illustrated by the following extracts : — 
 
 AMHERST, (formerly known as Fort Lawrence,) a seaport town of Nova 
 Scotia, the capital of Cumberland co., very pleasantly situated on an arm of 
 Cumberland Bay, and on the Intercolonial railway, 9 miles from Sackville, 
 N.B., and 138 miles W. by N. of Halifax. It contains, besides the county 
 and railway buildings, about 30 stores, several churches, hotels, mills and 
 factories, an iron foundry, 2 tanneries, 1 printing office issuing a weekly 
 newspaper, a telegraph office, and a branch bank. It is a port of entry, 
 and has a large trade, especially in lumber and ship building. The number 
 of arrivals for 1872 was 190, (tons 21,836), and the clearances 208 (tons 
 24,106). Total value of imports $94,244; exports $107,769. Pop. 2,000. 
 
 AMHERSTBTJRG, an incorporated town in Essex co., Ont., on the Detroit 
 river, 5 miles above its junction with Lake Erie, and at the western terminus 
 of the Canada Southern railway, 18 miles from Windsor. It was at one 
 time a garrison town, and was called Maiden, the name of a fortress in the 
 town. It contains a courthouse, a lunatic asylum, 5 places of worship. 
 several saw and grist mills, an iron foundry, about 25 stores, 5 hotels. 
 and a telegraph office. Amherstburg is a port of entry. The total value of 
 imports for 1872 was $80,657 ; exports $114,350. Steamers run daily between 
 Amherstburg and Detroit. Pop. 1,936. 
 
 Amherst in Nova Scotia and Amherstburg in Ontario, two towns of 
 nearly equal population, rapidly rising in importance as shipping and manu- 
 facturing communities, are selected at random from classification A of the 
 Gazetteer to show the care with which statistical materials incident to each 
 locality have been collected and utilized. 
 
 These towns, situated more than a thousand miles apart, exhibit in a 
 striking light the vast extent of the con federated portions of the British 
 North American possessions, while the returns of factories, stores, mills and 
 rail and steamboat connections, demonstrate their marvellous progress in all 
 those elements of wealth and population which constitute the true basis of 
 national strength. 
 
 There is one especial advantage enjoyed by those who relate events or 
 transactions, or any incidents recorded in the earlier annals of this continent : 
 because the chief actors are individualized, their deeds officially registered, 
 and critical contemporaries have depicted in lively colors those memorable 
 events which form chronological landmarks in the history of Canada, whereas 
 the earliest accounts of the origin and growth of the old world races are
 
 PREFACE. VU 
 
 involved in the mists of antiquity, and fabulous legends assign super-human 
 qualities to mythical and pre-historic heroes. The Sagas of Iceland, dating 
 back more than five centuries before Gaspar Cortereal, in 1500, entered the 
 Gulf of St. Lawrence, recount how adventurous Northmen discovered this 
 continent, founded the colony of Vinland, and maintained intercourse with 
 it down to the beginning of the twelfth century, though no trace of their occu- 
 pation can be discovered, and Vinland is capriciously assigned to the shores 
 of Massachusetts, Labrador, and Newfoundland ; but it is a well attested fact 
 that in 1535 Jacques Cartier landed at the Indian village of Hochelaga, 
 explored the St. Lawrence as far as the foot of the Lachine rapids, and 
 ascended the mountain of Montreal, where, after the fashion of the age, he 
 planted a cross. Thus to France undoubtedly belongs the honor of having 
 made the first discovery of the St. Lawrence. In subsequent years bands of 
 stout-hearted and self-sacrificing Frenchmen, conspicuous for their fortitude 
 and stoical endurance, exposed their lives fearlessly in adventurous explora- 
 tions extending from Hudson's Bay to the Great Lakes, and thence down the 
 Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico. 
 
 The earliest settlement attempted at Quebec dates 1608 ; only 265 years 
 have therefore elapsed between the epoch when the first settler, under 
 manifold discouragements, planted himself in Canada, and to-day when 
 the Queen of England claims jurisdiction over the most extensive 
 colony in the world, inhabited by upwards of four millions of active, enter- 
 prising, and self-reliant people, confederated under the ambitious title of the 
 Dominion of Canada, which consists of upwards of four millions of geogra- 
 phical square miles, extending from the Atlantic on the east to the shores 
 of the North Pacific on the west. Its extreme breadth on the parallel of 
 49° north latitude is 3,066 geographical miles, and the greatest depth from 
 the most southern point of the Province of Ontario to Smith's Sound in 
 the Polar regions rather more than 2,150 miles. 
 
 It was said of Canada, when the provinces of Upper and Lower Canada 
 comprised her entire territory, that, with the exception of coal and a few of 
 the less important metals, she contained within herself a supply of almost 
 all the known useful minerals, not only amply sufficient for her domestic 
 consumption, but, with few exceptions, for permanent, profitable and extensive 
 commerce. Again, at the great Exhibition of 1851, at London, the jury were 
 pleased to state, " that of all the British Colonies, Canada is that whose exhi- 
 •■ bition is the most interesting and complete, and one may even say that it 
 " is superior, as far as the mineral kingdom is concerned, to all countries that 
 " have forwarded their productions to the Exhibition." Canada has since 
 grown from two Provinces into a Dominion, thereby acquiring the gold and 
 coal mines on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts, and the enormous coal areas 
 of the North West. Little is yet known as to the extent of the mineral 
 deposits throughout nine-tenths of the territory included within the limits
 
 Vlii PREFACE. 
 
 of the Dominion, but evidence has been obtained to warrant the belief 
 that these sources of wealth exist in inexhaustible quantities and include 
 every variety found on the continent of Europe. The coal mines of Nova 
 Scotia may for centuries to come supply the demands of the marine of 
 England, while capacious harbors like Halifax afford ample and secure 
 anchorage for the largest navies. Along the line of the American coast, 
 stretching from the Isthmus of Panama to Behring's Island, a distance 
 of three thousand miles, few harbors equal, and none are superior to 
 those found in British Columbia ; hence the coal measures of Vancouver 
 Island and the Saskatchewan acquire additional importance, and must 
 become of incalculable value when the commerce of the Dominion with 
 Japan, China, and the Australian colonies assumes larger dimensions. 
 The vast regions belonging to the British Crown, extending from Lake 
 Superior to the Pacific Ocean, averaging six hundred miles in width by two 
 thousand miles in length, are adapted to the uses of the agriculturalist, and 
 are capable of supporting a greater number of the human race than can to- 
 day be found in France, Germany, and Switzerland combined. Every variety 
 of soil and climate offers itself. British Columbia revels in the enjoyment 
 of a Devonshire temperature, while, up to sixty degrees of north latitude, the 
 seasons, owing to the warm winds of the Pacific, are more genial than those 
 of Sweden or Norway. Vetches, which remain juicy during winter, and the 
 enduring bunch grass, as nourishing as the pastures of England, cover vast 
 prairies, while the abundance of buffaloes and the facility with which horses 
 and cattle find food throughout the year, and fatten and multiply, are facts 
 which attest the nutritious nature of the natural grasses. This magnificent 
 country, watered by majestic streams, stored with mineral treasures, known 
 as the Saskatchewan Valley, so called after the celebrated river which de- 
 scends from the Rocky Mountains to Lake Winnipeg, is noted for the extent 
 and richness of its coal measures. Rich beds of pure economic coal 
 twelve to twenty-four feet in thickness, and iron ore in vast quantities in the 
 same strata, extend from the Coal Rapids, Saskatchewan river, to the Rocky 
 Mountains, a distance nearly double that between London and Edinburgh, 
 while from two hundred miles north of the Saskatchewan coal deposits, to 
 the Arctic, about 70 3 of lat. N., 'Mackenzie discovered bitumen in a fluid state, 
 petroleum, and coal strata. On the banks of Slave river, a branch of the 
 Mackenzie, numerous bituminous springe abound ; in fact, the region skirt- 
 ing the eastern flank of the Rocky Mountains, ascending many degrees 
 of latitude from 49° to 70° North, gives indications of inexhaustible stores of 
 coal and other minerals, including gold, while the virgin surface soil is of 
 exuberant fertility. The latest traveller who visited this country named it 
 the Lone Land ; a fitting name, when we consider that there are thus a 
 million statute square miles, possibly the finest agricultural region 
 known, remaining tenantlees, and awaiting the approaching hour when

 the iron horse will render the Lone Land easy of access to the over-crowded 
 hives of Europe, and bring it within reach of the present civilization. No 
 emigrants have yet found their way to this modern Egypt, because a voj 
 to Australia or New Zealand can be performed in half the time and at a 
 third of the cost, but when these conditions are reversed, when the emigrant 
 sailing from Liverpool in one of the Allan line of steamers, can, after a ten 
 days' voyage, enter the Grand Trunk railway cars at Quebec, and, without 
 breaking connection, proceed direct to his future home on the banks of the 
 Saskatchewan, Athabasca, Peace or Mackenzie, with their countless tribu- 
 taries, accomplishing the entire journey with ease and safety within 
 three weeks from the day he left England, at a cost of about ten 
 pounds, then must commence a mighty exodus from over-crowded 
 Europe. The labor markets of the world were profoundly stirred, and a 
 rapid rise in the price of all manufactured articles occurred synchro- 
 nically with the completion of the American Pacific railway, simply 
 because railways penetrated hundreds of miles through regions of mar- 
 vellous fertility, rich in minerals and all the elements for agricultural and 
 manufacturing industry, which had been up to that date isolated and 
 shut out from the occupations of the human race. Yet, manifold as are the 
 attractions of the American prairies, the North West of the Dominion is 
 more bounteously supplied with lakes, rivers and rainfalls, and possesses 
 an equally fruitful soil. 
 
 Let it be known at home that lands rich as the fens of Lincolnshire or the 
 Mid-Lothians can be acquired at a nominal cost on the banks of the Saskat- 
 chewan, a river navigable for a thousand miles, with a climate not more 
 severe than that of Germany, and that the journey can be performed within 
 three weeks, at a cost of ten pounds, hundreds of thousands of the people 
 now sighing for a competence, and solicitous to provide a future indepen- 
 dence for their young families, will willingly seek their fortunes in this 
 inviting region. The tide of emigration is now turned back, unable to 
 spread over the many hundred thousand geographical square miles extend- 
 ing from Fort Garry to the slopes of the Rocky Mountains, because between 
 the western extremity of Lake Superior and Lake Winnipeg, a distance of 
 only four hundred miles, no railway has yet been built. The government 
 of the Dominion have, however, as a condition for the entrance of 
 British Columbia into the Dominton, pledged themselves to that province 
 to build a railway from Lake Nipissing to the Pacific Ocean, which will con- 
 nect the two oceans and traverse the whole length of the provinces forming 
 the Dominion of Canada. It is almost superfluous to add that a Pacific 
 railway must commercially and politically prove of vital importance to both 
 the Mother Country and Canada. It will commence at a point near Lake 
 Nipissing, about 200 miles due north of Lake Ontario, where railway 
 connection can be established with the railway systems of Canada and the
 
 X PREFACE. 
 
 United States; it will then advance along the north shores of Lakes Huron 
 and Superior to Fort Garry, in Manitoba, and proceed on its westerly course 
 through the fertile belt bordering the River Saskatchewan until it reaches 
 the Rocky Mountains, and then one of the seaports of the Alpine province. 
 
 This railway, measuring two thousand seven hundred miles in one 
 uninterrupted line, will, when built, complete the great Canadian Inter- 
 Oceanic chain, and remain an enduring monument of the enterprise and 
 patriotism of the people. It is impossible to over-estimate the benefits 
 that must accrue to both the Mother Country and the Dominion, when this 
 important railway route is completed. 
 
 Heretofore Canada has been to the traveller little better than a cul de sac, 
 as he could only journey as far as the extremity of Lake Superior ; but 
 when the entire Dominion can be traversed from the Atlantic to the Pacific, 
 he will be enabled with ease to take a rapid survey of these wide-spreading 
 dominions belonging to the British Crown, and measure their political and 
 commercial importance. He will then become convinced that the Dominion 
 is rich in coal measures, slate quarries, gold, silver, copper, iron, and almost 
 every mineral of commercial value; that the climate is favorable to health; 
 and that there are millions of acres of grain-raising and pasture lands await- 
 ing colonization in the fertile belt of the North West and British Columbia. 
 
 The aggregate pojmlation of the Dominion, including British Columbia, 
 
 Manitoba, Prince Edward Island, and the North West Territories, is estimated 
 
 at four millions ; and the progressive growth of population in four of the 
 
 Provinces during the last twenty years, is thus recorded in the Census 
 
 returns :

 topics calculated to interest the reader. 
 
 It is alike a duty and a pleasure on the part of the publisher to return 
 his grateful thanks to the following gentlemen who were kind enough to 
 revise and correct proofs descriptive of those Provinces of the Dominion with 
 which they are familiar :

 The publisher refers especially to the value of the services rendered by 
 the above gentlemen, and gladly acknowledges Mr. P. A. Crossby's judicious 
 compilation and classification of the matter, and the unremitting industry 
 he displayed in consulting records, collating authorities, and moulding into 
 shape the topographical, statistical, and historic materials of the Gazetteer. 
 
 It would be an act of presumption on the part of the publisher to pretend 
 to collect all the information which it is requisite to embody in a Gazetteer, 
 without availing himself of the copious and authentic stores of valuable 
 data collected and given to the world by geological and topographical 
 explorers, and inquisitive and investigating travellers. It is therefore his 
 agreeable duty to acknowledge that, in the execution of his work, he has' 
 availed himself largely of the abundant material furnished by Sir W. E. 
 Logan's valuable Geological Map of British North America, and the Annual 
 Reports of the Geological Survey of Canada, instituted in 1843, and carried 
 on under the direction of Sir William E. Logan, LL.D., F.R.S., F.G.S., for 
 years the renowned chief of the Geological Department of Canada; and also 
 the following authors, whose works have been consulted with advantage:

 BIC, or L'ISLET AU MASSACRE,

 Que. It is about 3 miles long by f of a 
 mile broad. A deed of blood marks the 
 spot, ami history furnishes the details of

 BRITISH AMERICA comprises, with 
 the exc '] i a of Alaska, the whole of 
 North America, N. of parallel of 49 3 
 together with some irregular portions, 
 including New Brunswick and Nova 
 Scotia, stretching south to lat. 43 d 30' 
 N., and the triangular portion of which, 
 Quebec and Ontario, form the base, the 
 apex extending S. to lat 41- 56 N. This 
 vast territory is bounded E. by the 
 Atlantic, Davis' Strait and Baffin's 
 Bay. N. by the Arctic Ocean, N.W. 
 by Alaska, W. by the Pacific and S. by 
 the United States. It comprehends the 
 provinces of Quebec, Ontario, New 
 Brunswick, Nova Scotia, including the 
 Island of Cape Breton, Prince Edward 
 Island. Newfoundland. Manitoba, British 
 Columbia, and the North West Terri- 
 tories. Generally speaking British 
 America is a level country. With the 
 exception of the Rooky Mountains, on 
 the W., it has but few elevations, and 
 these are for the most part of mconsider- 
 able height. The coast has numerous 
 indentations, the most remarkable 
 of which, on ihe E., are the 
 G-nlf of St. Lawrence and Hudson's 
 Bay. The latter, communicating with 
 the Atlantic through Hudson's and 
 Frobrsher's Straits, and with the Arctic 
 Ocean by mea is of Pox Channel, Gulf 
 of Boothia, Prince Regent's, and other 
 inlets, penetrates to near the centre of 
 the continent, forming one of the 
 
 Lve inland seas on the globe. The 
 surface of the country is extremely 
 diversified with rivers and lakes. The 
 
 St. Lawrence, a river of immense vo- 
 lume, over 2000 miles in length, forms 
 the outlet of the great Canadian lakes. 
 The Saskatchewan, rising in the Rocky 
 Mountains, traverses 18 a of Ion., or a 
 distance of at least 900 miles, and falls 
 into the great Lake Winnipeg, in 53 d 
 N. lat. This lake is connected with 
 Hudson's Bay by the Nelson or Port 
 Nelson river, about 500 miles in length. 
 Lake Athabaska, situated about lat. 
 53 d N., and Ion. HO 5 W., receives, 
 among others, the Peace river and the 
 Athabaska, a large stream, rising in the 
 Rocky Mountains, near the source of the 
 Columbia. The Mackenzie, entering 
 the Arctic Ocean, is one of the largest 
 rivers on the globe. It flows through 
 about 16- of lat. E. of the Mackenzie, and 
 flowing into the Arctic ocean, are the 
 Coppermine and Fish rivers. The basin 
 of the Winnipeg may be considered as 
 a continuation of that of the St. Law- 
 rence, or as a portion of one high plateau 
 divided into two parts. There can be 
 but little doubt that a very great, if 
 not the greater part of the vast region 
 included under the name of British 
 America, is doomed to everlasting 
 sterility, on account of the severity of 
 the climate. The most northern station 
 in which vegetation has been discovered 
 is! Melville Island, 74 3 50' N. lat., 
 where the mean annual temperature is 
 from 1 to 2 degrees below zero, and 
 that of July, about 42°. The sptcies 
 that exist here consist chiefly of saxi- 
 frages, grasses, cruciform plants, mosses 
 and lichens ; not a tree or even a bush 
 is able to rear its head ; nor, indeed, is 
 there a single plant or woody structure 
 except a little willow (Salix artica) 
 which ri~es six inches high. It is in 
 these latitudes that the red snow plant, 
 (Protoccocus nivulis) that most simpl* 
 of cryptos'amic vegetables, exists in 
 all its beautv. As we advance south- 
 ward, vast forests of spruce firs {Abies 
 alba and nigra) among which grow the 
 reindeer mos3 and other lichens, over- 
 spread the land. To those are added 
 different kinds of wild currants and 
 berries, and a variety of papilionaceous 
 plants, which abound in the open 
 plains. With these are combined, as 
 we continue to advance, the majestic 
 poplars of Canada, (JPopulus hudsonica, 
 and others), birches, (Betula /i"/>>/racea 
 and populifolid)) and many sorts of

 oaks and ashes, together with butternuts 
 (Juglans Venerea) and hickories (Can/a 
 alba and amara.) The animals hunted 
 for food are deer, of four different kinds, 
 buffaloes, rabbits, and porcupines. 
 Wild fowl arc also numerous, especially 
 grouse, wild geese and ducks. The 
 principal objects of traflic, especially in 
 the most northern parts, ate the skins 
 of fur-clad animals, of which there are 
 here a great variety. The chief tribes 
 inhabiting the Northern regions, are the 
 Chippewas, the Assiniboins, the Crees, 
 the Slave Indians, and the Esquimaux. 
 Of all these tribes the Crees have the 
 best character, being active, honest and 
 hospitable, kind to their women, aid 
 fondly attached to their children. For 
 an account of that portion of British 
 America under cultivation see Canada, 
 Dominiov OF. 
 
 BRITISH COLUMBIA, formerly 
 NEW CALE'ONIA, a province of 
 the Dominion of Canada, bounded on 
 the N. by the 60th parallel of latitude ; 
 E.by the main chain of the Rocky Moun- 
 tains ; S. by the United States ; and W. 
 by Alaska, the Pacific Ocean and Queen 
 Charlotte's Sound. Length 764| miles ; 
 breadth about 400 miles. Area 350,000 
 sepjare miles. The coast line is deeply 
 indented. The northern part of the 
 colony i.s diversified with mountain, 
 lake and river; is of extraordinary fer- 
 tility, producing alt Canadian cereals 
 and vegetables, and fruits in larger 
 measure than any part of even Ontario, 
 and with a mining region (Omineca) 
 at the head waters of the Peacs, Skeena, 
 and Eraser rivers, which, though very 
 imperfectly explored, (owing to their 
 inaccessibility to general travel) gives 
 indications of being very rich in gold 
 and silver. The southern and middle 
 part includes the rich gold valley of 
 Fraser river, and is well adapted for 
 pasturage, and also, with irrigation, 
 for agriculture ; some parts, however, 
 such as the Chilcotin plains, and the 
 great and beautiful valley of the Okan- 
 agon, require no artificial irrigation, 
 nor does any part of the seaboard. 
 Throughout the whole extent of the 
 province there is an abundance of forest 
 land, the timber on which is of the 
 most valuable description. One kind 
 especially, the Douglas pine, yields 
 spars from 90 to 100 feet in length, and 
 from 20 to 24 inches in diameter. The 
 
 tree is very often often from 150 to 300 
 feet in length, without knots or branch- 
 es, and the diameter varies from six to 
 ten feet, and in quality is about twice 
 as strong as Canadian red pin*, and 
 being more gummy, is more durab'eand 
 takes a better hold. At Burrard Inlet, 
 9 miles from New Westminster, there 
 are pine trees 27 to 30 feet in diameter. 
 The yearly exports of timber amount 
 to about £250,000, but the vast forests 
 have hardly been touched. 
 
 The mineral resources of British 
 Columbia are very great. Gold is 
 found all along the Fraser and Thomp- 
 son rivers, and in great abundance in 
 the Cariboo district, the yield in that 
 one locality exceeding, in 1870, one 
 million dollars, while the yield of the 
 entire province for the past ten year3 
 has exceeded twenty-two million dol- 
 lars. Silver and copper are also to be 
 had in abundance, but the mines have 
 not as yet been very largelj' worked. 
 The true wealth of the province., how- 
 ever, is its coal fields, which ar© inex- 
 haustible, easy of access and easily 
 worked. Bituminous coal is found on 
 the mainland and on Vancouver Island ; 
 and anthracite -coal on Queen Chariot to 
 Island. The latter has been sold in 
 San Francisco for $20 per ton*. The 
 fisheries, which will some day pro^a a 
 source of national wealth, are amongst 
 the most valuable known. The climate 
 of British Columbia is mild and fa void- 
 able enough to allow animals to live in 
 the open air throughout the winter, 
 and in many parts the plains and hills 
 are covered with a herb called bunch 
 grass, which possesses highly nutritious 
 qualities and keeps cattle in excellent 
 condition during the whole winter. 
 Winter lasts from November till March ; 
 but snow seldom remains long on the 
 ground. The prevailing winds are from 
 the N. in summer, and from the S. and 
 W. in winter. 
 
 The area of the land fit? for agricultu- 
 ral settlement is estimated at 250,000 
 square miles, diversified by hill and 
 d ile, and watered by numerous streams 
 and lakes. The soil varies from a deep 
 black vegetable loam to a light brown, 
 loamy earth ; the hills supplying slate 
 and building stone. Wheat, barley, 
 potatoes, turnips, apples, pears, &«., 
 grow luxuriantly. 
 
 The country is rich in fur-bearing

 BRI 
 
 animals, of which the principal are 
 the I) lack, brown and grizzly bears, 
 lj-nx, marten and beaver. The annual 
 product of the fur trade amounts to 
 between $200,000 and $250,000. 
 
 Shipbuilding is a branch of trade 
 which promises to assume large 
 proportions. 
 
 Manufactures are yet in their infancy. 
 
 Chief among the rivers of the coun- 
 try is the great Fraser river, which 
 pursues a rapid course between steep 
 and rocky banks, until, approaching 
 the sea, it presents a fertile and finely 
 wooded valley from 50 to GO miles in 
 length. The "total length of the Fraser 
 river is about 700 miles. The Thompson 
 river surpasses the Fraser in the richness 
 of its scenery, and flows through one of 
 the most beautiful countries in the 
 world. The Columbia is another noble 
 stream. It enters the United States at 
 Fort Shepherd, after a course of nearly 
 800 miles in British territory. Total 
 length about 1,200 miles. 
 
 The means of communication with the 
 interior of British Columbia are very 
 good. Steamers ascend the Fraser 
 river over 100 miles, to the head of 
 navigation, and for over 450 miles be- 
 yond this the*3 is an excellent gravelled 
 road, constructed by the government at 
 great expense. Burrard Inlet is the 
 largest and finest harbor on the main- 
 land, and is spoken of as a probable 
 terminus for the Pacific railway. 
 
 British Columbia consists of two per- 
 fectly distinct parts ; the mainland 
 above described and Vancouver 
 Island. This island is the largest 
 in the Pacific, being 278 miles long, 
 and 40 to 50 wide. It is separated 
 from the mainland by the Straits of 
 Fuca, which are about 1G miles in 
 width, and by the Gulf of Georgia, 
 which varies from 30 miles in width 
 to a narrowness thatisbridgeable, viz: 
 at Valde's [sland. The surface is marked 
 by mountain ranges and extensive 
 plains. The soil is productive. The 
 island is noted for it^ coal mines. Gold 
 has also been found. The harbors 
 are numerous and excellent, and Es- 
 quimalt Harbor, which is the Naval 
 n, is also referred to as not un- 
 to prove the terminus of the 
 Canada Paeific railway. 
 
 The public affairs of British Colum- 
 bia are administered by a Lieutenant 
 
 Governor, an Executive Council of 
 five members, and a Legislative As- 
 sembly composed of 25 representatives 
 elected every four years. Justice is 
 dispensed by a Chief justice and two 
 assistants. 
 
 Education is free to all; the schools 
 are non-sectarian. 
 
 Victoria, Vancouver Island, is the 
 capital of the province, and the seat of 
 the see of the Lord Bishop of British 
 Columbia. It is situated on a narrow 
 inlet, which, completely landlocked, 
 gives accommodation to all vessels 
 whose draught of water does not exceed 
 18 feet It is rapidly rising into a large 
 city. 
 
 The number of arrivals in 1872 was 
 292 (tons 131, G06,) and the clearances 
 285 (tons 129.8G4.) Total value of 
 imports $1,790,352; exports $1,712,107. 
 
 Mails from Canada to British Colum- 
 bia and vice versa are conveyed between 
 San Francisco and Victoria by the 
 steamer Prince Alfred, an iron steam- 
 ship of 900 tons The service is per- 
 formed twice a month. Some mails 
 are also conveyed by land to Portland 
 or Olympia and thence reach Victoria 
 by another steamer. The Vancouver 
 Island postal service is performed from 
 Victoria by the steamer Sir James 
 Douglas, which conveys the mails 
 along the eastern coast as far as Comox, 
 130 miles from Victoria, stopping at 
 Cowichan, Maple Bay, Chemainus, Nan- 
 aitno and Comox Cowichan is a flour- 
 ishing place. It possesses good schools, 
 the only, stone church in the Pro- 
 vince, and a convent at which the Nuns 
 (who are Canadians) teach trades to 
 Indian and half-breed girls. Nanaimo 
 is also a flourishing town, with bright 
 prospects for the future. There are 
 hardly any settlements on the western 
 coast, and there is in consequence no 
 postal service. The service to Comox 
 is efficient and regular, and is performed 
 with every possible regard to economy. 
 The mails for the mainland are des- 
 patched from Victoria. Some, of but 
 little importance, ate conveyed by the 
 Sir James Douglas, as far as Nanaimo, 
 where the steamer Otter, belonging to 
 the Hudson's Bay Company, receives 
 the mails for the" River Skeena. The 
 other mails, which are by far the most 
 important, are conveyed from Victoria 
 to New Westminster, Ihence to Yale,
 
 BRI 
 
 47 
 
 BRI 
 
 and from Y*le to Barkerville. The ser- 
 vice from Victoria to New Westminster 
 is performed by the steamer Enterprise, 
 belonging to the Hudson's Bay Com- 
 pany. From New Westminster to Yale, 
 on the Fraser, the mails are conveyed, 
 in summer, by the steamer Lillouet. 
 From Yale to Barkerville, the service 
 is performed by means of stages drawn 
 by four or six horses. Upon the Cariboo 
 route, between Soda Creek and the 
 mouth of the Quesnel, the Fraser is 
 navigable, and the Victoria makes the 
 trip promptly and safely, and alfords 
 to travellers every comfort that can be 
 desired. A steamboat has recently 
 been placed on Lake Tatla, to provide 
 miners with facilities for reaching the 
 mines of the District of Ominica more 
 speedily, more safely, and with less 
 fatigue. 
 
 Telegraph lines extend from Swin- 
 omish, in Washington Territory, 
 (United States) to Barkerville, at the 
 extremity of the Cariboo road. There 
 is, besides, a branch line from Matsqui 
 to Burrard Inlet via New Westminster, 
 in addition to a right of way over the 
 line belonging to the Western Union 
 Telegraph Company, from Swinomish 
 to Victoria, which comprises two sub- 
 marine cables. This line of telegraph, 
 which by the act completing the union 
 of Columbia with Canada, became the 
 property of the Dominion, is 569 miles 
 long, in addition to the submarine por- 
 tion which is a mile and a quarter in 
 length. The following is a list of the 
 telegraph stations and tariff for 10

 British Columbia is divided into 5 
 electoral districts for Dominion elec- 
 tions, viz., New Westminster, Cariboo, 
 Yale, Victoria, and Vancouver, each 
 of which, except Victoria, returns 1 
 member to the House of Commons ; 
 Victoria returns 2 members. It is fur- 
 ther subdivided into 12 electoral dis- 
 tricts for Provincial purposes. 
 
 British Columbia occupies a com- 
 manding position not only with regard 
 to the trade cf the western part of 
 
 America and the Pacific Islands, but 
 also with respect to China, Japan, and 
 other Asiatic countries, and the Aus- 
 tralian colonies. Along the whole 
 coast line of at least 10,000 miles, (fol- 
 lowing indents,) a perfect labyrinth of 
 islands exists, giving innumerable har- 
 bors, inlets and channels, teeminsr, as 
 well as the rivers that empty into (hem, 
 with salmon, sturgeon, mackerel, cjd, 
 herring, halibut, oulachans and whales. 
 Except the whale fishery, these vast 
 fisheries are altogether undeveloped. 
 
 Thi3 colony was first established in 
 1858, and has since made remarkable 
 progress. The total population last 
 year was 10,586, exclusive of Indians. 
 This total comprised 8,576 whites, 462 
 negroes and 1,548 Chinese. The num- 
 ber of Indians is large, supposed to be 
 about 50,000. Some tribes have 
 gathered together in villages, and 
 considerable progress has been made 
 in the education of their children. 
 The construction of the Canada Pacific 
 railway cannot fail to develope the 
 untold resources of this province, and 
 add greatly to the wealth and general 
 prosperity of the Dominion. The dis- 
 tance from Montreal to Victoria is 
 3,000 miles, which can now be accom- 
 plished in 11 or 12 days, by the San 
 Francisco route; but by the future 
 Canada Pacific railway, the distance 
 will be reduced to 2,800 miles. 
 
 We are indebted to M. McLeod, Esq., 
 district magistrate, Aylmer, P. Q.. (son 
 of the late Chief Trader John McLeod, 
 sen., of the Hudson's Bay Company, and 
 author of "Peace River," &c.,) for the 
 following information, as to the fc-rtility 
 of Northern British Columbia : 
 
 " At Fort St. James, about lat 54° 30' 
 N., 2,000 feet above the sea, the first 
 barley (five quarts) sown produced 
 five bushels, say about 84 bushels per 
 acre. This was about 50 miles west of 
 McLeod's Fort, which last is the highest 
 Post on the Rocky Mountains. 
 
 " At Fort Fraser, still further west, 
 on the slope of the Cascade, the first 
 potatoes planted, about a bushel, pro- 
 duced forty-fold." 
 
 Mr. McLeod estimates the total area 
 of British Columbia at 350,000 square 
 miles, and the wheat area at 150,000 
 square miles, or 90,000^00 acres, being 
 all south of lat. 55° N., (although there 
 are fine wheat valleys far beyond, N.)
 
 BRO

 BRO 
 
 islands included. The grass, barley 
 and vegetable area north of the above 
 —that is, from lat. 55° to C0 J N., 
 (northern boundary line of British 
 Columbia) and from Ion. 120' VV. to 
 American boundary, 141° W., Mr. 
 McLcod estimates at 100,000 square 
 miles, or, 64,000,000 acres. A consider- 
 able portion, say one-sixth, of these 
 are. is, is covered with lakes, numerous 
 and, like all the rivers, abounding with 
 wholesome fish — lish, in fact, is the 
 native staple food. 
 
 Mr. McLeod further estimates the 
 coast line of British Columbia at 10,000 
 miles, a predicate on that of Norway: 
 the latter, on actual measurement, 
 having been found to have in its indent- 
 ed line thirteen times the length of its 
 coast in a straight line. In point of 
 fact, the British Columbia coast is much 
 more, and more deeply indented than 
 that of Norway, some of the inlets run- 
 ning iin upwards of fifty miles. The 
 inlets are full of salmon and other fish.

 CANADA, THE DOMINION OF, a 
 Federal Union of Provinces and Terri- 
 tories, comprising all the British pos- 
 sessions in North America, except the 
 Island of Newfoundland. It is bounded 
 E. by the Atlantic Ocean, Davis's Strait, 
 and Baffin's Bay ; W. by Alaska, the 
 Pacific Ocean and Queen Charlotte's 
 Sound ; N. by the Arctic Ocean ; and 
 S., S.E., and S.W. by the United 
 States. Area 3,330,1 G2 square miles, — 
 393,996 square miles larger than the 
 United States. Of this immense area, 
 nearly equalling in extent the continent 
 of Europe, about 700,000 square miles 
 are covered with water. 
 
 Face of the country. — It is but natu- 
 ral to suppose that in such a vast extent 
 of country there is every variety of sur- 
 face — mountain, plateau and valley. 
 Beginning at the Atlantic frontier of 
 Nova Scotia a range of highlands skirts 
 the seaboard and extends inland for 15 
 or 20 miles. This dislocated range of 
 metamorphic hills nowhere assumes the 
 height of mountains. Sixty miles in- 
 land from this seaboard, and nearly 
 parallel thereto, the Cobequid Moun- 
 tains, some of which are 1,100 feet high, 
 traverse Nova Scotia, from the Bay of 
 Fundy to the Strait of Canso. This 
 range is clothed with a large growth of 
 timber, to its summit, where agricul- 
 tural products g r ow luxuriantly. Be- 
 tween the Atlantic and Cobequid 
 ranges is a wide and fertile valley, em- 
 bracing the entire length of Nova Sco- 
 tia proper. The third mountainous 
 range, of moderate elevations, traverses 
 the boundary between Quebec and New
 
 CAN 
 
 5G 
 
 CAX 
 
 Brunswick, from the State of Maine to 
 the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Between 
 this range and the Cobequid Mountains, 
 with which it runs parallel, is an ex- 
 tensive plateau of fertile lands embrac- 
 ing nearly the whole of New Bruns- 
 wick and a large part of Nova Scotia. 
 The coast of Labrador is mountain us. 
 The mountain formations of the coun- 
 try lying between the Gulf of St. Law- 
 renc ■ and the Rocky Men itains assume 
 a different direction from the lower 
 mountain ranges above referred to. 
 The country presents a t< rraced charac- 
 ter; the navigation of the princi] al 
 Streams is obstructed by numerous 
 fails and rapids, the result of convul- 
 sions of no ordinary nature. The 
 principal part of the mountainous dis- 
 tricts runs in the direction of the 
 great rivers and lakes lying between 
 the Galf of St. Lawrence and the 
 Rocky Mountains. On either side 
 of the valley of the estuary of the St. 
 Lawrence is a range of mountainous 
 country. That on the north is called 
 tlie Laurentides. It terminates easterly 
 at the coast of Labrador and extends 
 up the N side of the Ottawa for 100 
 miles, then sweeps round to the Thou- 
 sand Islands sear Kingston, then gams 
 the southern extremity of Georgian 
 Baj, continues along the eastern and 
 northern shores of Lake Huron and 
 Lake Superior, and ultimately reaches 
 the Arctic Ocean; its whole course is 
 about 3,500 nnles. This chain varies 
 from hills of 200 feet to that of moun- 
 tains, culminating near Lake Superior 
 to a height of 2,100 feet. It gives the 
 water shed separating the tributaries of 
 the St Lawrence from those of Hud- 
 son's Bay ; but beyond the basin of the 
 St Lawrence it is traversed by two 
 "its of this bay, Hie Saskatchewan 
 and ''w Churchill, the former taking 
 its Bource in the Rocky Mounl lii 
 
 . Btill farther on, the range be- 
 
 comes the limit of Hudson's Bay r vers, 
 
 dividing their sources and those of the 
 
 B.ick river and other streams, for 800 
 
 miles, from the Mackenzie river. In 
 
 the valleys and lower parts of the Lau- 
 
 i- □ ian region there are considerable 
 
 of g 'oil land, having ;l deep, rich 
 
 l i. and bean g heavy timber. In the

 The southern range (called 
 
 Notre Dame Mountains) is a spur of 
 the Allcghanies, which, commencing at 
 the Gulf of St. Lawrence, forms a pro- 
 longed chain of mountains through the 
 States as far as Virginal. In its course 
 through Canada it runs nearly parallel 
 to the River St. Lawrence at from 20 to 
 50 miles distance ; and pa ics south of 
 Lake Champlain. Its greatest eleva- 
 tion en the Canadian side (the Shick- 
 shock Mountains on the Gaspe penin- 
 sula,) is about 4,000 feet. The Blue 
 Mountains on the S. side of Georgian 
 Bay attain a height of 1,9 »0 l it above 
 the level of Lake Huron. The country 
 lying between Lake Superior and the 
 Rocky Mountains is intersected by 
 numerous chains of mountains, witu 
 extensive valleys of fertile lauds inter- 
 vening. The Rocky Mountains, the 
 dominant ridge of the continent, stretch 
 from Alaska to California. Some 
 peaks on Canadian territory attain a 
 height of 15,000 feet. Between these 
 mountains and the Pacific coast, are 
 the Selkirk Mountains, the Gold Range, 
 the great central hilly plateau or table 
 land, and the Coast or Cascade Range. 
 All these mountain chains as well as 
 the central plateau have a general 
 N.W. and S.E. course. The Cascade 
 Range is the northward extension of 
 the Sierra Nevada ; the central plateau 
 bears a similar relation to the great vol- 
 canic arid and hilly table land of the 
 State of Nevada; and the Selkirk and 
 Gold Rangesmay be parallelled with the 
 Bitter Root Mountains between Mon- 
 tana and Idaho. The highest points 
 of the Cascade Mountains do not ex- 
 ceed 7,0)0 feet. The central plateau 
 has an average elevation of from 1,000 
 to 3,000 feet. The Selkirk Mountains, 
 towards the north, in the vicinity of 
 Cariboo and about the sources of the 
 North Thompson, have a somewhat 
 greater average elevation than the 
 Cascades. The highestknown summits 
 of the Rocky Mountains are Mount 
 Murchison, Mount Hooper and Mount 
 Brown, estimated at from 12,000 to 
 15,000 feet. They have never been 
 ascended. Of the principal part of the 
 territory lying around Hudson's Bay 
 little is' yet known. 
 
 Minerals. — The Dominion of Canada 
 contains within its limits almosl every 
 variety of mineral wealth. The gold 
 deposits of British Columbia and Nova
 
 CAN 
 
 57 
 
 CAN 
 
 Scotia are among the richest existing 
 on the globe. The gold area of Nova 
 Scotia is known to spread over an ex- 
 tent of at Least 6,000 square miles. The 
 lodes are regular in structure and pre- 
 serve their richness to depths of 200 
 and 300 feet. The gold extracted from 
 quart/, rock is remarkably fine and pure. 
 In Brit.sli Columbia the precious metal 
 is not confined to any one section. 
 It is found all along the Fraser and 
 Thompson rivers, again in the north 
 along the Peace and Ommeea rivers, 
 and on Germansen Creek and on Van- 
 couver Island. From the U.nted States 
 frontier to the 53rd degree of latitude, 
 and fur a width of from 1 to 20(1 miles, 
 gold is found nearly everywhere. Pro- 
 fi table gold mines are worked in the 
 county of Beauce, Quebec. Gold is also 
 found in the county of Hastings, 
 Ontario; on the banks of the Shikte- 
 hawk, a tributry of the River St. 
 John, (New Brunswick) ; on the 
 Athabasca, McLeod and Pembina 
 rivers, winch flow into the Arctic 
 ocean ; and oa the North Saskatchewan, 
 Red D ■■ and 1) iw rivers, flowing into 
 the Lake Winnipeg. The Blackfeet 
 Indians have been so hostile to miners 
 in the Saskatchewan country that it 
 was only in the neighborhood of the 
 Hudson's Bay Company's forts that 
 Continued washing for gold could be 
 carried on Jn the neighborhood of 
 Fort Edmunton from $:> to $12 worth 
 of guld has frequently been washed in 
 a day by one man. Miners who have 
 visiicd the gold fields of the North 
 West r " is proclaim them to be 
 
 enormously rich. Extraordinary depo- 
 sits of s Lver ore are found in several 
 islands on the N. shore of Lake Supe- 
 rior ; also in numerous veins of argenti- 
 ferous galena scattered over that portion 
 of Quebec to the south of the St. Law- 
 rence. Silver is also found in Nova 
 Scotia, and in the Fraser valley in 
 British Columbia. Copper is abundant 
 in every portion of the Dominion — in 
 British Columbia, the North West Ter- 
 ritories, Ontario, Quebec, New Bruns- 
 wick and Nova Scotia. The copper 
 mines of Ontario are very valuable. 
 On the shores of Lake Huron and 
 Superior copper is found in large 
 quantities. In the province of Quebec 
 extensive and exceedingly productive 
 mining operations are carried on in the 
 
 Eastern Townships, at the Harvey, 
 Hartford, Huntington, Capel and Ives 
 mines. The Copper Mountains of the 
 North West Territories are exiraordina- 
 rily rich, but difficult of access. Lead 
 occurs in many places in the Lauren- 
 tian range. A mine in rear of Kingston, 
 Out., has exposed a deposit of remark- 
 able richness and extent. Lead is 
 also found on the N. shore of Lake 
 Superior, often rich in silver, on the 
 shore of Gaspe, in the Eastern Town- 
 ships, and in Ncav Brunswick and Nova 
 Scotia. Veins of lead traverse the 
 rocks of Coronation Gulf. Iron occurs 
 in prodigious quantities in the Lauren- 
 tian range. At Hull, near Ottawa, 
 there is abed about 00 feet in thickness 
 containing not less than 250,000,000 
 tons of iron; ontheRideau canal there 
 is a bed 200 feet thick containing 
 double the above amount ; and at 
 Marmora there are five beds which are 
 computed to contain an aggregate of 
 1,000,000,000 tons. These extraor- 
 dinary deposits are of the maguetic 
 species, yielding GO to 70 per cent, of 
 pure iron, and occur in the same 
 geological formation from which the 
 celebrated Swedish iron is made. 
 Extensive beds of good iron occur in 
 the Eastern Townships, also in the 
 neighborhood of Lake Nipissing; and 
 at various localities along the N. shore 
 of the St. Lawrence considerable quan- 
 tities ot bog iron ore are found. Near 
 Three Rivers, cast and wrought iron of 
 a very superior quality has been pro- 
 duced from this ore for upwards of 
 a century. At the mouth of the 
 Moisic river, about 300 miles be- 
 low Quebec, there is a vast deposit of 
 magnetite, estimated to c uitahi about 
 20,000,000 tons of iron. It lies on the 
 surface in the shape of black sand, per- 
 fectly free from sulphur or phosphorous, 
 and the iron manufactured is of superior 
 quality and peculiarly suited to the 
 manufacture of the finest steel, edge 
 tools, &c. Iron is also found in Nova 
 Scotia, New Brunswick and in the 
 Saskatchewan valley. Iii the former 
 province it is melted and manufactured 
 on a large scale on the Cobequid 
 Mountains. Chromic iron, a mineral 
 which is highly prized for the man- 
 ufacture of the eliminates of potash 
 and lead, and for the production of 
 many beautiful red, yellow, and green
 
 CAN 
 
 colors, is found in considerable quanti- 
 ties in the Eastern Townships of Que- 
 bec, and in the Shickshock Mountains. 
 Iron ochres are distributed in many 
 parts of Canada, and chiefly in associa- 
 tion with the bog iron ores. Some of 
 these beds have been partially worked 
 and supply an excellent material, of a 
 great variety of shades of color. The 
 iron ochres of Canada are equal to 
 those of France. Nickel and Cobalt 
 are found in several localities in Can- 
 ada, but chiefly on the N. shore of 
 Lake Huron and Lake Superior. Plum- 
 bago or graphite occurs in workable 
 quantities near Ottawa, in rear of 
 Kingston, and near St. John, N.B. Sul- 
 phate of baryies, soapstone, lithogra- 
 phic stone, tin, zinc, bismuth, antimony, 
 magnesia, and manganese are found in 
 several parts of the Dominion. Mica 
 is found in great abundance and of 
 extreme purity in Grenville, on the 
 Ottawa river, and in the township of 
 North Burgess, near the Rideau canal. 
 There are very large deposits of phos- 
 phate of lime behind Brockville and at 
 other places in Ontario. Large quan- 
 tities of iron pyrites are found near 
 these deposits. The conditions are 
 therefore favorable for the manufac- 
 ture of sulphuric acid, and for convert- 
 ing the phosphate of lime into super- 
 phosphate for manure. Beautiful ser- 
 Jientine and verd antique marbles are 
 bund in different parts of Quebec, and 
 in Cape Breton there is a marble 
 mountain which contains some of 
 the finest specimens of white and 
 colored marble. Springs of petroleum 
 or mineral oil occ ir in several locali- 
 ties in the S.W. part of Ontario, and 
 from the numerous wells already 
 Bunk millions of gallons have been 
 Taken. The od bearing rock (Lower 
 D lim tone,) extends over a

 and though one part, after another may 
 be exha led and abandoned, and the 
 exhaustion of the whole region is but a

 not including the great bed in the 
 Island of Anticosti, which contains as 
 man3 r more, and at least 30,000 acres 
 in Ontario. In many of the bog3 the 
 peat attains a depth of 10 and 20 feet, 
 and even more. It is compressed and 
 used for various purposes, with success, 
 instead of coal. Of the other minerals 
 coal is the most important. It is found 
 in Nova Scotia, in New Brunswick, in 
 British Columbia, and in the North 
 West Territories. The coal fields of 
 Nova Scptia are of vast extent and 
 value, and have been worked more or 
 less since the first settlement of the 
 colony by the British. The most im- 
 portant mines are at Pictou and Sydney, 
 C.B. They contain a sufficient quan- 
 tity to supply the whole steam navy of 
 Great Britain for many centuries to 
 come, and also to meet amply the de- 
 mands of the other North American 
 colonies bordering on the Atlantic. 
 The coal mines of British Columbia are 
 even more valuable than the gold. Bitu- 
 minous coal is found on Vancouver 
 Island in several places, especially 
 along the East coast. The coal is of 
 fair quality, superior to the Scotch, but 
 not equal 'to the Welsh. Veins of coal 
 have been found in other part ; of the 
 Province. Anthracite coed, very ex- 
 cellent in quality, is found on Queen 
 Charlotte's Island. The coal fields of 
 New Brunswick cover an area of about 
 10,000 square miles. The Albert coal 
 is one of the most beautiful of all car- 
 boniferous products; it is jet black, 
 brilliant and lustrous, with a conchoi- 
 dal fracture, and is extremely brittle. 
 It is chiefly used in the manufacture of 
 illuminating oil3 ("f which it yields, 
 by distillation, a large per centage, 
 a id of the very best quality,) and gas. 
 The coal mined at Grand L ke is of 
 an excellent quality, being hard, rather 
 lustrous, giving out much heat in burn- 
 ing, and lasting longer than most other 
 coal. The great coal bed of the North 
 West Territories commences 150 miles 
 East of the Rocky Mountains. It is 300 
 miles in width, and extends over 1G 
 degrees of latitude, to the Arctic Ocean. 
 There are no coal mines in Ontario or 
 Quebec. Salt springs, strongly saturat- 
 ed, arc numerous in New Brunswick, 
 and salt wells of great richness are 
 worked in the counties of Ontario bor- 
 dering on Lake Huron. Agates, jaspers,

 diamonds, rubies, pearls, feldspar, 
 amethysts, camelians, chalcedonies, 
 cairngorms, porphyries, &c, are found 
 in several parts of the Dominion. 
 
 Gulfi, Bays, Rivers, Lakes, <5*c. — The 
 coasts of the Dominion haTe numerous 
 indentations, the most remarkable of 
 "which are Hudson's Bay — one of the 
 most extensive inland seas on the globe 
 — the Gulf of St. Lawrence, and the 
 Gulf of Georgia. The hydrographical 
 basin of the St. Lawrence and its es- 
 tuary comprises an area of about 530,- 
 000 square miles. In form it presents 
 an irregular parallelogram running 
 nearly S.W. for about 900 miles, with 
 a pretty uniform breadth of 250 miles ; 
 the southern side in its farther progress 
 sweeping round in a "wide semi-circle, 
 the diameter of which extends about 
 900 miles to the N.W. The Great 
 Lakes into which the river expands — 
 Superior, Hun n, Michigan, St. Clair, 
 Erie and Oniario, — with its estuary, 
 have au area of about 130,000 square 
 miles, leaving for the lands drained by 
 the river an area of 400. 0'JO square 
 miles. At least 330.000 square miles 
 of these belo ■_;• to Canada, the remain- 
 der constitutes a part of the United 
 States. With the exception of about 
 50,000 square miles (including the 
 whole of the Gaspe peninsula) in the 
 eastern part of Quebec, the Canadian 
 portion lies wholly on the N. side of 
 the river, while the only part of the 
 United States which does so is situated 
 at the west end of Lake Superior. The 
 principal rivers flowing into the St. 
 Lawrence are the Ottawa, 800 miles 
 long, with many large tributaries; the 
 St. Maurice. 400 miles long; the Batis- 
 can, the Chaudiere, the Richelieu, the 
 St. Francis, the Hamilton, the Moisic, 
 the Roniaiiie, the Ste. Anne, and the 
 mighty Saguenay. The other chief 
 rivers in the Dominion are the Saskat- 
 chewan, which rises in the Rocky Moun- 
 tains, traverses 15 J of longitude, or a 
 distance of at least 900 miles, and falls 
 into the (..rent Lake Winnipeg in lat. 
 55 D N. This lake is connected with 
 Hudson's Bay by the Nelson river, 
 about 500 miles in length. Lake 
 Athabasca, situated about lat. 59 D 
 N., and Ion. llu J W., receives, among 
 others, the Peace River and the Atha- 
 basca, a large stream rising in the 
 Rocky Mountains near the source of 
 
 the Columbia. The Fraser river, the 
 golden stream of British Columbia, 
 rises in the Rocky Mountains and en- 
 ters the Pacific after a course of about 
 700 miles. The Columbia, 1200 miles 
 long, also rises in the Rocky Mountains. 
 The Mackenzie, entcing the Arctic 
 Ocean, is one of the largest rivers on 
 the globe. East of it, and also flowing 
 into the Arctic, are the Coppermine and 
 Fish rivers. The Gatineau, the Keepa- 
 wa, the Matawan, the Mistassini, the 
 Churchill, the Dumoine, the Miramichi, 
 the Restigouche, the St. John, the 
 Avon, the Clyde, the Grand, the Trent 
 and the Nioigon are all important 
 rivers, and the Great Bear, Great Slave, 
 Manitoba, Lake of the Woods, Mistas- 
 sini, St. John, Nipigon and Nipissing 
 are all magnificent lakes, but they are 
 so fully described among the rivers 
 and lakes that it is unnecessary to 
 repeat them here. The rivers and 
 lakes of the Dominion number several 
 thousands. Of these descriptions of 
 over 1500, which include all the 
 most important, are given in another 
 part of this work. 
 
 Climate. — The climate of Canada is 
 nearly the same as that of Norway, 
 Sweden, St. Petersburg, and the S. of 
 Iceland. Both the heat of summer and 
 the cold of winter are much greater 
 than in the corresponding latitudes of 
 Europe. The climate of Nova Scotia 
 is extremely temperate, considering its 
 northern latitude. In Halifax and the 
 eastern counties the mercury seldom 
 rises in summer above 86° in the 
 shade, and in winter it is not often 
 down to zero. In the interior the 
 winter is about the same, but the sum- 
 mer is considerably warmer. The 
 climate of New Brunswick is subject 
 to great extremes of heat and cold : 
 the thermometer sometimes rising to 
 100° during the day and falling in the 
 forest during the night of the same 
 day to 50 D . Still the climate is ex- 
 ceedingly healthy and favorable for 
 agricultural operations. Tii - climate 
 of Prince Edward Island is much mild- 
 er than that of Nova Scotia or New 
 Brunswick, and is remarkably salubri- 
 ous. The winter is long and cold, but 
 the summer is eminently fitted for the 
 growth of all ordinary cereals. The 
 winters of Quebec are cold and the 
 summers somewhat similar to those of
 
 CAN 
 
 GO 
 
 CAN 
 
 France. There are at times in winter 
 snow-falls of 3 or 4 feet and the ther- 
 mometer sinks very low ; but the atmos- 
 phere is generally dry and exhilarating. 
 The cold, therefore, is not felt to be 
 unpleasant, in fact not nearly so much 
 so as the cold of the winters in 
 England. The climate of Quebec is 
 altogether one of the healthiest under 
 th ; sun, as well as one of the m< st 
 pleasant to live in. The winter of 
 Ontario is much milder than that of 
 Quebec owing to its being near the 
 lakes. Manitoba and the Saskatche- 
 wan country have the same summer 
 temperature as the most favored parts 
 of the St. Lawrence valley, as Central 
 Pennsylvania and Southern New Eng- 
 land. The winter isothermal is that 
 of Quebec. The climate of British 
 Columbia varies according to the lo- 
 cality, owing principally to four causes, 
 greater or less distance from the sea 
 and from the vicinity of the mountain 
 regions, difference in ihe nature and 
 quantity of the vegetable growth, and 
 difference of level. The low portions 
 near the sea and on Vancouver Island 
 have a moderate climate with a gene- 
 ral range of from 20° in winter, toS0 D 
 in summer. The temperature on the 
 island is lower than on the mainland 
 owing to the prevailing southern winds. 
 Along the coast of Briiish Columbia, 
 for 150 miles inland, the climate is 
 humid, the thermometer rarely falling 
 below 10° or rising above 90°. 
 Rain is abundant during the spring 
 and during the summer and autumn. 
 Snow neither falls heavily nor lies 
 long, and the frosts are not severe, ice 
 being seldom more than an inch thick. 
 In the middle districts the summer 
 heat is intense, and in winter mercury 
 commonly freezes. 
 
 Soil and I'roduclions. — By far the 
 greater part of Nova Scotia, New 
 Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario, and the 
 country lying between Lake Superior 
 and the Pacific Ocean and Vancouver 
 Island is admirably adapted for agricul- 
 tural pursuits. The soil of Quebec is 
 exceedingly fertile and capable of high 
 cultivation ; the cereals, hay, root crops 
 and fruits grow in abundance and per- 
 fection. The great wealth of Ontario 
 is t he richness of its soil and the favo- 
 rable nature of Us climate for agri- 
 cultural operations.. The extreme S.W. 
 
 district of the province is distinguished 
 by its adaptability to the growth of 
 many fruits, shrubs and flowers, which 
 will not come to perfection in any other 
 part of Canada. Here the peach ripens 
 in the open air, the finer kinds of grapes 
 grow well, the tulip tree blossoms, the 
 catalpa is not cut down by frost, the 
 chestnut tree bears, and the finest kinds 
 of anples and pears are cultivated. The 
 valley of the Thames, together with the 
 rich alluvial flats which extend from it 
 northward to the north branch of Bear 
 Creek, and southward nearly to the 
 shore of Lake Erie, is remarkable for 
 its great fertility, and luxuriant forest 
 growth. The soil is generally clay, 
 with covering of rich vegetable mould, 
 and is covered in the natural state with 
 elm, oak, blaekwalnut and whitewood 
 trees of large size, together with fine 
 groves of sugar maple. Towards the 
 mouth of the Thames, and on the borders 
 of Lake St. Clair, is an area of natural 
 prairie of about 30,000 acres. It lie3 
 but little above the level of the lake, 
 and is in large part overflowed in time 
 of spring floods. The soil of this 
 prairie is a deep unctuous mould, 
 covered chiefly with grass, with here 
 and there copses of maple, walnut, 
 and elm, and with willows dotting the 
 surface of the plain. Along the shore3 
 of Lake Huron and Lake Superior oats 
 and barley grow well, but northward, 
 at the dividing ridge between the 
 waters flowing into Hudson's Bay and 
 into the lakes, it is difficult to raise even 
 potatoes. The natural vegetation in 
 the Red River and Saskatchewan valleys 
 is luxuriant. The soil is an alluvial, 
 black argillaceous mould, rich in or- 
 ganic deposit and resting at a depth 
 of 2 to 4 feet on a tenacious clay soil. 
 Some fields at Red River have been 
 known to produce 20 successive crops 
 of wheat without fallow or manure, 
 the yield being frequently 30 to 40 
 bushels to the acre. Barley yields enor- 
 mous returns, with a weight of from 50 
 to 55 lbs. to the bushel. Oats thrive 
 well. Potatoes are particularly success- 
 ful, unsurpassed in quality, and the 
 yield remarkably prolific. Turnips, 
 carrots, cabbages and other root crops 
 do nearly as well as potatoes. 
 Buffaloes winter on the prairie grasses 
 up as high as Lake Athabasca, and the 
 horses of the settlers run at large and

 grow fat on the grasses they pick up in 
 the woods and bottoms. As an agri- 
 cultural country British Columbia has 
 boon much under-estimated. The tracts 
 of arable land are of very great extent. 
 A portion of these, however, require 
 artificial irrigation. This is easy to be 
 obtained and not. expensive, and lands 
 so irrigated are of very great fertility, 
 yielding as much as 40 bushels of wheat 
 to the acre. The tracts of land suitable 
 to grazing purposes are of almost end- 
 less extent. On the Cariboo road there 
 is a plaia 150 miles long and 60 or 80 
 wide, and between the Thompson and 
 Fraser rivers there is an immense tract 
 of arable and grazing land. The hills 
 and plains are covered with bunch grass 
 on which the cattle and horses live all 
 winter, and its nutritive qualities are 
 said to exceed the celebrated blue grass 
 and clover of Virginia. In Nova Scotia 
 apples, plums, pears, quinces, cherries, 
 etc., are easily cultivated ; grains and 
 root crops do well, and Indian corn 
 will ripen. The climate of New Bruns- 
 wick is exceedingly favorable for agri- 
 cultural operations. The average yield 
 per acre is greater than in the Slate of 
 New York or Ohio. The Island of Prince 
 Edward is eminently agricultural and 
 pastoral. The far greater portion of the 
 Dominion is still covered with forests, 
 chiefly white and red pine, immense 
 quantities of which are annually ex- 
 ported. The principal trees of British 
 Columbia are the Douglas pine, Men- 
 zics fir, yellow fir, balsam, hemlock, 
 white pine, cedar, yellow cypress, arbor 
 vitae, yew, oak, white maple, arbutus, 
 alder, dog wood, aspen, cherry, crab 
 apple, and cottonwood ; of the North 
 West Territories, poplar, and oak, 
 spruce, scrub pines, balsam, aspen 
 and birch; of Ontario and Quebec, 
 pine, tamarac, balsam, cedar, maple, 
 birch, poplar, ash, elm, cherry, alder, 
 beech, willow, hemlock, etc. ; and of 
 Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, oak, 
 beech, birch, maple, ash, poplar, larch, 
 spruce, pine, hemlock, etc. 
 
 Wild Animals. — These comprise the 
 black bear, grizzly bear, wolf, buffalo, 
 deer, panther, moose, cariboo, wild cat, 
 antelope, prairie clog (a burrowing ani- 
 mal), red fox, silver gray fox, black fox 
 (rare), beaver, muskrat, marmot, squir- 
 rel, rabbit, weasel, skunk, raccoon, 
 wolverine, marten, mink, seal, lynx, 
 
 ermine, porcupine, Rocky Mountain 
 sheep, otter, fisher, etc. Among birds 
 there are two species of the ea lc, four 
 species of the hawk and four species 
 of the owl; also wild swans, wild 
 turkeys, woodcocks, snipes, pigeons, 
 pheasants, ducks of many varieties, 
 grouse, ptarmigan, quail, and wild 
 geese. Among the smaller feathered 
 tribe are many beautiful bird-; — jays, 
 woodpeckers, blackbirds of num xous 
 and beautiful varieties, wrens, 
 sparrows, thrushes, blue birds, larks, 
 robins, whippoorwills, and two species 
 of humming birds. Besides these there 
 are kites, bitterns, herons, crows, king- 
 fishers, partridges, cranes, swallows, 
 ravens, etc. There are no less than 
 243 species of birds in New Brunswick. 
 and a list of the birds of North America 
 published in 1856 gives a number of no 
 less than 716. Among reptiles are 
 rattlesnakes and various other kinds of 
 snakes, and lizards. Among fish, cod- 
 fish, salmon, salmon trout, whitefish, 
 mackerel, shad, herring, halibut, 
 bass, sturgeon, maskelonge, etc. ; and 
 among shell fish, oysters, crabs, lobsters 
 and turtles. 
 
 Manufactures. — The principal articles 
 manufactured in Ontario and Quebec 
 are cloth, linen, furniture, leather, 
 sawn lumber, flax, hardware, paper, 
 glass, chemicals, soap, boots and shoes, 
 cotton and woollen goods, s+^am en- 
 gines and locomotives, sewing machines, 
 wooden ware of all descriptions, agri- 
 cultural implements, etc.; in New Bruns- 
 wick and Nova Scotia, sawn lumber, 
 ships, cotton and woollen goods ; boots 
 and shoes, furniture, leather, nails, 
 machinery, gunpowder, paper, steam 
 engines, locomotives, etc. The manu- 
 factures of Prince Edward Island are 
 chiefly fo.' domestic purposes. In British 
 Columbia, the manufactures are very 
 few in number, but water power is 
 everywhere abundant. The latter re- 
 mark applies geuerally to the whole 
 Dominion. 
 
 Internal Improvements. — The canals 
 of Canada are among its most impor- 
 tant public works. The most easterly 
 is St. Peters canal leading into the 
 Bras d'Or, Cape Breton ; distance 2,300 
 feet. Next the Shubenacadie canal 
 connecting Halifax with the Bay of 
 Fundy. The St. Lawrence navigation 
 is 2,385 miles long, and eight canals,
 
 CAN 
 
 one of which is American (the Sault 
 Hte. Marie), have been built to make it 
 practicable for all its length. The 
 Ottawa and Rideau canals complete a 
 second (interior) line of communication 
 from Montreal to Kingston ; their unit- 
 ed length is 143J miles. The St. Ours 
 lock and the Charnbly canal connect 
 the St. Lawrence and the Hudson, via 
 the Richelieu river and Lake Cham- 
 plain. Distance from Montreal to New 
 York 456 miles. The following canals 
 are projected : Bay Verte,Caughnawaga, 
 Ottawa and Georgian Bay, Toronto 
 and Georgian Bay, Trenton and Geor- 
 gian Bay, and Hamilton and Lake 
 Huron. 
 
 The railway system of Canada is 
 fast assuming extensive proportions. 
 The first railway was begun in 1835. 
 It was a line 1G miles in length, from 
 L%prairie on the St. Lawrence to St. 
 Johns. The road was opened with 
 horses in 1836, and first worked with 
 locomotives in 1837. The first railway in 
 Ontario,between Queenstown and Chip- 
 pewa, was opened with horses in 1839. 
 Up to the close of 1S72 there had been 
 constructed in the Dominion 3,454 miles 
 of railway, and in 1873, 1,576 additional 
 miles we're opened, making a total of 
 5,030 miles of railway in operation, 
 under 32 corporations. The following

 T legraphs. — There were six telegraph 
 companies in the Dominion in 1873 — 
 the Montreal, the Dominion, the New 
 York, Newfoundland aLd London, the 
 New Brunswick, the Nova Scotia, and 
 the Fredericton and St. John. The 
 lines of the three latter are leased and 
 worked by the Western Union Tele- 
 graph Company. The Montreal is the 
 leading telegraph company in the Do- 
 minion. It was incorporated in 1847, 
 three years after the first line was 
 opened in the United States, and has 
 now 19,000 miles of line, and 1050 offices, 
 including branches. It connects with 
 all parts of the United States and Mari- 
 time Provinces, and with cables to Cuba 
 and Europe, and transmits messages to 
 any of its stations at 25 cents for 10 
 words, or 15 cents between places not 
 more than 12 miles apart. The Do- 
 minion Company extends from the city 
 of Quebec to Sarnia, and the New 
 York, Newfoundland and London com- 
 pany connects with the Atlantic cable 
 at Heart's Content.

 Poslal St rvice. — Canada enjoys the 
 great advantage of cheap postage ar.J 
 an excel lout system of postal commu- 
 nication. In 1851, the first great step 
 towards cheap postage was taken by 
 the introduction of a uniform postage 
 rate of five cents. But it was not until 
 1888 that the nearest approach to the 
 British penny post that can be expected 
 •was made by the establishment of a 
 uniform rate of three cents. The result 
 has been highly satisfactory and en- 
 couraging In Dr. Hod sins' "School 
 History of Canada," (published by Mr. 
 John Lovell, in 180G,) it is stated that 
 "in 1706, when the celebrated Benja- 
 min Franklin was Deputy Postmaster 
 General of British North America, there 
 were only three post offices in Canada, 
 and 180 miles of post route, from Mon- 
 treal to Quebec. In 1701 there were 
 ten post offices and 600 miles of post 
 route; in 1830 there were 150 post 
 offices and 2,500 miles of post route ; 
 i s 1840 the number of offices had been 
 increased to 405, and miles of post 
 route to 5,737." Since the year 1840 
 the progressional growth of the depart- 
 ment has continued until, by the 
 report of the Postmaster General for 
 1S72, we find that there 'were in that 
 year 4,153 post offices, and 33,415 
 miles of post route, including British 
 Columlva and Manitoba. The estimat- 
 ed number of letters by post in the year 
 1872 was 30,600,000; gross postal re- 
 venue, §1,103,002 ; postal expenditure, 
 $1,369,163. 
 
 Patents. — A new Patent Act was 
 passed by the Dominion Parliament in 
 1872, which opened to all inventors, 
 whether foreigners or residents of 
 Canada, the privilege of taking out 
 patents in Canada, on condition that 
 the articles patented shall be manufac- 
 tured in Canada. The opening of the 
 Canadian Patent Office to foreigners 
 has already led to many applications 
 for patents by them; and it is believed 
 that the result will prove to be highly 
 advantageous to the public, and par- 
 ticularly to the manufacturing inter- 
 ests of the Dominion. The Act permits 
 the patent to be issued for periods of 
 five, ten or fifteen years at the option of 
 the inventor. About 7 per cent, of the 
 patents issued are for ten years; about 
 10 per cent, for fifteen years ; and 83 
 per cent, for five years. The following

 Fisheries. — The fisheries of the Do- 
 minion are the finest in the world ; they 
 are almost illimitable, and they are 
 inexhaustible. The great variety and 
 superior quality of the fish are as 
 remarkable as the multitudes in which 
 they are found, and supply a wealth 
 ■ that makes full amends for any rigor 
 of climate or defects of soil on any of 
 the coasts in their vicinity. As res- 
 pects salmon there is a fishing line on 
 the N. shore of the St. Lawrence of 
 over a thousand miles in length, into 
 which very numerous tributaries flow. 
 On the S. shore, taking in the coasts 
 of the Maritime Provinces, it is of 
 greater length. In British Columbia 
 salmon are very abundant and of ex- 
 cellent quality. The actual value of 
 the produce of the fisheries of the Do- 
 minion for the season of 1872, for 
 purposes of trade, was §0,570,110, being 
 an excess over that of the preceding 
 year of §114,803. About 1,500 decked 
 vessels and 17,000 open boats are en- 
 gaged in the fisheries of the Dominion, 
 employing some 42,000 men. The esti- 
 mated number of persons supported 
 almost entirely, by this industry, in the 
 various fishing communities, exceeds 
 200,000 souls. The collections from Fish- 
 ing Rents, License Fees, Fines, &c, for 
 the fiscal year of 1872, amounted" to 
 §10,408, and. the expenditure of tho 
 branch was §43.083. Under the Treaty 
 of Washington, 'Art. 18, United States 
 citizens have liberty of fishing, except 
 shell fish, in common with British sub-
 
 CAN 
 
 f 
 jects, and of drying their nets and 
 curing their fish on the coasts, &c, of 
 Quebec, Nova Scotia, N< w Brunswick 
 and Prince Edward Island, provided 
 hey do not interfere with private 
 iroperty or with British fishermen. 
 This liberty applies solely to the sea 
 fishery, the salmon, shad, and all other 
 fisheries i'i rivers and mouths of rivers 
 being reserved exclusively for British 
 fishermen. Article 19 of the Treaty 
 gives British subjects the same privi- 
 leges on the eastern shores of the United 
 States, north of the 39th parallel. 
 
 Comm-rce. — According to the last 
 report of' the Minister of Customs, 
 the gross value of goods imported 
 into the Dominion of Canada, for 
 the fiscal year ending 30th June, 1872, 
 was ^pl 11,430,527 ; the goods entered 
 for consumption during the same 
 period $107,7o9,tl6 ; and the value of 
 exports $82,639,063, giving a gross 
 aggregate sum of $194,070,190 as the 
 value of the trade of the Dominion 
 with countries outside its boundaries. 
 This increase in the inward and out- 
 Ward trade, as compared with previous 
 years, is observable under all the 
 various classifications of the Tariff, a 
 certain indication of the commercial pro- 
 gress of Canada. The following figures 
 show the immense increase of the trade 
 of the D.iin.uiou since Confederation:

 1870-71 17,206.089 
 
 1871-72 194,070,190 
 
 The increase alone of the last three 
 years is almost as large as the total 
 trade in 1850 ($29,703,497.) The chief 
 items of exports for toe last fiscal year, 
 1871-72, exclusive of British Columbia 
 and Manitoba, were :

 It thus appears that the product of the 
 forest is the largest item of exports of 
 the Dominion; and it will probably be 
 a grow ing le for many years to conic.

 The value of goods entered for con- 
 sumption from Great Britain increased 
 from $49,168,170 in 1870-71, to $61,900,- 
 702 in 1871-72, and the amount entered 
 for consumption from the United States 
 during the same periods respectively 
 was $29,022,387 (1870-71), and $34,- 
 217,969(1871-72.) The value of Cana- 
 dian exports to Great Britain increased 
 from $ 14,173,224 in 1870 71, to $25,637,- 
 996 in 1871-72 ; and to the United 
 States from $30,975,642 in 1870-71, 
 to $31,896,816 in 1871-72. The ship- 
 ping returns exhibit a considerable 
 increase in the tonnage, boih British 
 and Foreign, engaged iu the carrying 
 trade with countries ouiside of the 
 Dominion, both by sea and upon its 
 inland waters, the total aggregate ton- 
 nage so emoloyed being, for 1869-70, 
 11,415,870 ; for 1870-71, 13,126,028; 
 and for 1871-72, 12,546,600, exclusive of 
 British Columbia. The following is an 
 exhibit of the total number and ton- 
 nage of vessels built in the Dominion 
 of Canada, and also of those registered 
 in Canada, for each fiscal year since 
 Confederation:

 1,822 497,001 2,663 599,047 
 
 From this it will be seen that the 
 shipbuilding trade has been steadily 
 progressive, the tonnage of 1872 
 having been more than 27,000 tons 
 greater than the tonnage of 18 i8, and 
 that, with the exception of 1870, each 
 year has shown an increase in the to i- 
 nage of vessels built over the year 
 which preceded it. The following table 
 shows the per centage of tonn ige con- 
 tributed by each Province of the vessels

 The tonnage of the four largest 
 maritime powers, in 18G9, was ai fol- 
 lows : threat Britain, 5,516,434 tons : 
 United States, 4,318,309 tons ; Frauce, 
 1.042,811 tons : Dominion of Canada, 
 899,096 tons. The Dominion of Can- 
 ada is, therefore, the fourth maritime 
 power m the world. Bat, in proportion 
 to population, she owns more ton- 
 nage than any country in the world. 
 
 Education. — Canada has no national 
 system of education. In Ontario the 
 school system is a partial adaptation of 
 the best features of the systems of Now 
 York, Massachusetts, Ireland and Ger- 
 many, blended and modified to suit 
 the circumstances of the country, but 
 differing also in several points of im- 
 portance from all other school systems. 
 Some of the chief points of difference 
 are : 1. Religious instruction is provided. 
 2. The chief executive is a non-poli- 
 tical and permanent officer. 3. It 
 prohibits the use of foreig r books in 
 the English branches of instruction, 
 except by special permission, thus pre- 
 venting heterogenous text books and 
 those inimical to our institutions. 
 4. It provides for the supply of maps, 
 school apparatus, prize and library 
 books, to all the schools, direct from 
 the department, and grants 100 per 
 cent, on local appropriations for such 
 purposes. 5. It provides for the pen- 
 sioning of superannuated cr worn out 
 teachers. 6. It provides for taking 
 and recording meteorological observa- 
 tions at ten selected county grammar 
 schools, results being published per- 
 iodically. In 1871 the Legislature of 
 Ontario made all common schools in 
 that province free, to be supported by 
 Provincial grants and local taxes, and 
 mr.de the education of children com- 
 
 | pulsory on parents and guardians. 
 I The educational institutions of Ontario 
 j comprise 4,598 public schools, 102 
 j grammar schools, 298 private schools 
 j and academies, 20 colleges and uni- 
 j versities, a college of technology, and 
 a provincial model farm, with a school 
 J or college of agriculture. The edu- 
 cational institutions of Quebec, arc 
 divided into Superior, Secondary, Nor- 
 mal, Special, and Primary schools. 
 The first division comprises the univer- 
 sities and schools of theology, law 
 and medicine The second classical 
 colleges, industrial colleges and acade- 
 mies. Under the head Special come 
 the deaf and dumb asylums,the agricul- 
 tural colleges, and boards of arts 
 and manufactures ; and under the 
 head Primary all the elementary and 
 model schools The Protestant minor- 
 ity were in a very unfavorable position, 
 as far as their educational interests 
 were concerned, until 1868, when a 
 very satisfactory act was passed grant- 
 ing them separate schools. In 1871 
 tiere were 4,028 schools of all kinds in 
 the Province of Quebec. Education in 
 Nova Scotia is not compulsory but 
 it is free to all classes. There is 
 a Provincial Normal school for the 
 training of teachers, and there are 
 also academies, colleges and com- 
 mon schools. The academies and 
 common schools are under the control 
 of the Government ; the colleges are 
 sectarian. There are nearly 1,000 
 public schools in the province having 
 nearly 103,000 pupils in daily attend- 
 ance. In New Brunswick, a new School 
 Act was passed in 1871. By it school 
 trustees of each district are bound to 
 provide school accommodation for all 
 persons therein, between the ages of 5 
 and 20, free of charge. In addition to the 
 provincial grant, a tax is levied in 
 each county equal to 30 cents per head, 
 and a local fund sufficient for the purpose 
 of carrying out the law (including a 
 poll-tax of $1 per head) is raised by the. 
 localities. Serious objection has been 
 raised to this act by the Rfcman Catho- 
 lic population, who desire to use their 
 own taxes for schools under their own 
 management, and not subject to the 
 government inspection, examination of 
 teachers, regulations respecting text 
 books, &c. The educational institu- 
 tions supported by law are a Provincial

 University, a Training or Normal 
 school for teachers, and a system of 
 common schools ranging from t he pri- 
 mary to the grammar or high school 
 department. The common schools are 
 non-sectarian and free to all. The 
 schools of Prince Edward island are 
 free to all. Excellent school systems 
 have been provided for Manitoba and 
 British Columbia. Religious instruction 
 forms part of the common school system 
 of each section of the Dominion 
 
 Religious Denominations. — There is 
 no State Religion in the Dominion of 
 Canada, all denominations being re- 
 garded equally by the Government. 
 The clergy depend for subsistence 
 upon the voluntary contributions of 
 their congregations or upon funds ap- 
 propriated for this purpose. The prin- 
 cipal sects are the Episcopalians, Ro- 
 man Catholics, Presbyterians, Metho- 
 dists, Baptists and Congregationalists. 
 There are 15 Church of England dio- 
 ceses in Canada, viz : theMetropolitical 
 diocese of Montreal, and the dioceses 
 of Nova Scotia, Fredericton, Quebec, 
 Ontario, Toronto, Western Toronto, 
 Huron, Algoma, Rupert's Lund, British 
 Columbia, and four recently formed 
 in the North West Territories. There 
 are 19 Roman Catholic dioceses, viz : 
 the archdioceses of Halifax, Quebec, 
 Toronto and St. Boniface. (Manitoba), 
 and the dioceses of Montreal, Rimouski, 
 Three Rivers, Sherbrooke, St. Hyacinthe, 
 Ottawa, Kingston, Hamilton, London, 
 Arichat, St John, (NB,) Chatham,

 Public Works. — The public works of 
 the. Dominion consist of a canal and 
 railway system, together with certain 
 public buildings. The canal system 
 was devised to overcome the impedi- 
 ments to navigation found in the St. 
 Lawrence, and connect with the Great 
 Lakes and Great West. The canals of

 Scotia, and 200 miles in Prince Edward 
 island, and has contracted for the 
 construction of a railway fmra Lake 
 Nipissing to the Pacific, through Bri- 
 tish territory ; length 2,500 miie3. The 
 public buildings maintained by the 
 Dominion are the House ; of Pari iment 
 and Governor's residence at O.awa; 
 and all custom houses, post o'Tices, 
 drill sheds, barracks, <fcc , also a geolo- 
 gical museum, observatories, and all

 maintains harbours of refuge, public 
 roads, and slides and booms, it has 3 
 sea-going and 2 river steamers, and 6 
 marine police schooners, employed fn 
 protecting the fisheries. 
 
 Divisions. — The Dominion of Canada 
 is composed of seven Provinces and the 
 North West Territories. The area of

 Immigration. — The number of immi- 
 grants who have arrived and settled in 
 Canada is much less than the number 
 who have hitherto gone to the United 
 States; but the probability is that 
 within the next fifty years the 
 balance will be redressed, from the fact 
 that the United States have already 
 disposed of their large tracts of fertile 
 lands, while Canada is opening up im- 
 mense and fertile territories for the set- 
 tler. The really cultivable area of the 
 United States is confined within much 
 smaller limits than is generally sup- 
 posed, from the fact that immense and 
 wide deserts are found in place of cul- 
 tivable territory, with comparatively 
 very little exception, over all the region 
 west of the 100th degree of west longi- 
 tude, to the base of the Rocky Moun- 
 tains. Canada, on the other hand, has 
 yet an immense extent of fertile terri- 
 tory unsettled, which can absorb many 
 millions of settlers. As regards the 
 land system of the Dominion it may be 
 stated that in the provinces of Ontario, 
 Quebec, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick 
 and British Columbia, with the excep- 
 tion of a tract in the last named Pro- 
 vince ceded to the Dominion for the 
 purpose of the Pacific railway, the lands 
 are held by the several Provincial gov- 
 ernments. In several of the provinces 
 free grants are given to immigrants, 
 and in almost all cases in which gov- 
 ernment land is for sale, it is offered at 
 prices which are merely nominal. The 
 lands in the province of Manitoba and 
 the North West Territories are held by 
 the Dominion Government, which at 
 present gives free grants of 1G0 acres 
 in Manitoba on condition of settlement. 
 Dominion lands are also sold for $1 
 
 per acre. The total area of lands, the 
 property of the Dominion, exclusive of 
 Labrador and the Islands in the Arctic 
 sea, is computed to be 2,207,725 square 
 miles, or 1,412,304,000 acres. Of this 
 32,000,000 acres are mostly unfit for 
 cultivation, 76,800,000 acres are prairie 
 lands with occasional groves or belts 
 of timber, 298,384,000 acres are timber 
 lands with occasional prairies, all of it 
 suitable for the growth of wheat and 
 other cereals, 594,048,000 acres suitable 
 for the cultivation of barley, potatoes 
 and the grasses, and with 'sufficient 
 timber, and 411,072,000 acres rock and 
 swamp, in which the timber growth 
 disappears, and which may be consid- 
 ered as the fur-bearing region. Sur- 
 veys of the whole of this immense tract 
 are being prosecuted. The number of 
 immigrants who arrived in Canada 
 from 1851 to 1871 was 1,124,844, of 
 whom only 446,688 settled in Canada, 
 the rest going to the United States. 
 The total number of arrivals in 1871 
 was 65,722, of whom only 27,773 re- 
 mained in Canada. During the first 9 
 months of 1872 there arrived 68,958 
 immigrants, 37,041 of whom settled in 
 this country. 
 
 Government. — The system of Govern- 
 ment of the Dominion of Canada is 
 monarchical in its most popular form. 
 The Executive consists of a Governor 
 General (who represents the Queen), a 
 Privy Council composed of 13 members, 
 a Senate of 80 members, appointed for 
 life, and a House of Commons of 206 
 representatives, elected every 5 years. 
 No bill can become law unless sanc- 
 tioned by the three branches. The 
 Governor General is Commander in 
 Chief of the army and militia, and of 
 the navy in British North American 
 waters ; and has the sole pardoning 
 power. The Dominion is divided into 
 12 military districts. The law re- 
 quires that every able bodied man be 
 enrolled for its defence. An enrulment 
 takes place each year in February. 
 
 Judiciary. — The laws and forms of 
 judicial procedure are not alike through- 
 out the Dominion. The law of Quebec 
 is derived in great part from French 
 sources. At the time of the conquest 
 it consisted, for the most part, of the 
 Coutume de Paris, and the Edicts 
 and Ordinances of the French kings. 
 Where these were silent the Civil

 (Roman) Law was appealed to, as fur- 
 nishing rules of written reason. In 
 certain matters the Canon Law was also 
 in force. Upon the acquisition of the 
 country by Great Britain, the English 
 Constitutional and Criminal Laws were 
 introduced, the English form of wills 
 allowed, and English rules respecting 
 evidence in commercial cases establish- 
 ed. All these laws have from time to 
 time been modified by the Imperial and 
 Canadian Parliaments. The Code Civil 
 de Quebec now supersedes all but the 
 English and Statutory Criminal Law. 
 In 1791, the French Canadian Law was 
 repealed in Ontario (then Upper Can- 
 ada) and in its place was substituted the 
 laws of England. The common law of 
 England is the law of Nova Scotia, New 
 Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, and 
 British Columbia. The laws of Manitoba 
 are the same as those of Quebec. The 
 Courts of Justice in Ontario are a Court 
 of Error and Appeal, Court of Queen's 
 Bench, Court of Common PleaS, Court 
 of Chancery, Court of Impeachment. 
 Court of Quarter Sessions, Practice 
 Court, Heir and Devisee Court, County 
 Courts, Division Courts and Recorders' 
 Courts. Those in Quebec are a Court 
 of Queen's Bench, Superior Court, Cir- 
 cuit Court, Court of Vice Admiralty, 
 Court of Quarter Sessions, Court of 
 cial Sessions, and Recorder's Court. 
 Those in New Brunswick are a Sup- 
 reme Court, Court of Vice Admiralty, 
 Court for the trial and punishment of 
 Piracy, Probate Court, Court of Mar- 
 riage and Divorce, Inferior Court of 
 Common Pleas and General Sessions 
 of the Peace, and Justice Courts. Those 
 in Nova Scotia are a Supreme Court, 
 Court of Vice Admiralty, Court of 
 Error, Court of Probate, Court of Mar- 
 riage and Divorce, Court of General 
 Sessions of the Peace, and Justice 
 Courts. Those in Prince Edward Island 
 are a Supreme Court of Chancery, 
 Court 0/ Vice Admiralty, Court of 
 Marriage and I Urorce, Court of Probate 
 and Wills, and Insolvent Court. In 
 Manitoba there is a Court of Queen's 
 Bench composed of 1 chief and 2 assis- 
 tant justices ; and in British Columbia 
 a Supreme Court with 1 chief and 2 
 assistant justices. The Supreme Courts 
 and Courts of Queen's Bench are the 
 highest in the Dominion. An appeal 
 lies from their decisions in certain 
 
 cases to the Privy Council in England. 
 There are in Ontario 3 chief justices, 1 
 chancellor, 5 puisne judges, 2 vice chan- 
 cellors, and 37 county judges ; in 
 Quebec, 2 chief justices and 24 puisne 
 judges ; in New Brunswick, 1 chief 
 justice, 4 puisne judges, and 5 county 
 judges; in Nova Scotia, 1 chief justice 
 and 6 puisne judges ; and in Prince 
 Edward Island, 1 chief justice and 3 
 puisne judges. 
 
 Salaries.— The Governor General of 
 the Dominion of Canada receives $47,- 
 517.55 per annum, and is provided with 
 a residence at the capitol also with 
 secretaries, aides-de-camp, clerks and 
 messengers. The Lieutenant Governors 
 of Ontario and Quebec receive $10,000 
 per annum, and those of Nova Scotia, 
 New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, 
 Manitoba and British Columbia, $8,000 
 per annum. The chief justices of the 
 Dominion receive $5,000 per annum, 
 and the puisne judges $4,000 ; Senators 
 and Commoners, $8 a day or $1000 
 each session ; members of the Privy 
 Council, $7,000 per annum, except the 
 premier, who receives $8,000 ; Adjutant 
 General of Militia, $3,000 per annum. 
 Revenue. — The revenue of the Domin- 
 ion is derived from imports on foreign 
 merchandise, excise, public works (in- 
 cluding railways), post offices and bill 
 stamps. The revenue of the Dominion 
 for the fiscal year ending June 30th, 
 1872, was $20,714,813; the expendi- 
 ture for the same period $17,589,468, 
 leaving a surplus of $3,125,345. We

 An examination of these figures 
 shows the gratifying fact of progres- 
 sive increase under every head, with one 
 very trifling exception. The debt of the 
 Dominion on the 1st of July, 1872, was 
 $122,400,179 incurred in the construc- 
 tion of public works,canals,railways,&c.

 banks in operation in the Dominion on

 tal of $50,101,959. The amount of notes 
 in circulation was $29,510,046, and 
 discounts, $122,077,754. The deposits 
 of the chartered banks showed an 
 amount of $08,077,737, and the Post 
 Office Savings banks, $3,410,980.25. 
 There were of Dominion notes in circu- 
 lation on the 31st July,. 1873, $11,002,- 
 988.23. The chartered banks have 
 agencies and branches in every impor- 
 tant place in the Dominion. 
 
 Indians — The Indians in the Domin- 
 ion of Canada are under the superinten- 
 dence of the Minister of the Interior, who 
 is the Superintendent General of Indian 
 Affairs, and as such has the control and 
 management of the lands and property 
 of Indians. The persons deemed Indians 
 arc : 1. All persons of Indian blood, re- 
 puted to belong to the particular tribe, 
 band or body of Indians interested in 
 such lands or immovable property, and 
 their descendants. 2. All persons resid- 
 ing among such Indians, whose parents 
 were, or are, or cither of them was or is, 
 descended on either side from Indians 
 or an Indian reputed to belong to the 
 particular tribe-interested in such land-, 
 and the descendants of all such persons. 
 3. All women lawfully married to any 
 of the persons included in the above 
 classes, the children, issue of such mar- 
 riages, and their descendants. None 
 but persons deemed Indians are permit- 
 ted to settle on Indian lands. From 
 the statement of population contained 
 in the last official report (1872) it ap- 
 pears that the Indian tribes of Ontario 
 number 12,880; of Quebec, 8,057; of 
 Nova Scotia, 1,835 ; of New Brunswick, 
 1,324 ; of BritishColumbia,28,520 ; and of 
 the North West Territories, 50,000. The 
 most populous tribes in Ontario are the 
 Six Nation Indians, who, in 1870, were 
 estimated at 2,805; the Chippewas of 
 Lake Huron, estimated at 1,846 ; the 
 Chippewas of Lake Superior, estim- 
 ated at 1,502; a».d the Manitoulin 
 Island Indians estimated at 1,004. The 
 Iroquois, or Six Nation Indians of 
 Ontario, are chiefly descendants of the 
 Iroquois who adhered to the royal 
 cause during the American Revo- 
 lution, and who settled in Upper Can- 
 ada when the American colonies 
 established their independence. They 
 obtained a large grant of land on the 
 
 Grand River. In the province of Que- 
 bec, the largest bodies are the Nasqua- 
 pees of the, Lower St. Lawrence, num- 
 bering 2,800, and the Iroquois of Saulit 
 St. Louis, numbering 1,050. In New 
 Brunswick, at Indian Village, Indian 
 Point, opposite Fredericton, is located a 
 body numbering about 300. There are 
 also about 400 in Northumberland and 
 205 in Kent. In Nova Scotia, there are a 
 f.w in every county. The aboriginal in- 
 habitants of the country lyin.tr between 
 Red River and the Rocky Mountains 
 are divided into two great classes, 
 the Prairie Indians ' and Thickwocd 
 Indians — the first comprising the Black- 
 feet with their kindred tribes of Bloods, 
 Lurcees, and Peag'ns; as also tlic^Crees 
 of the Saskatchewan and the Assini- 
 boines of the Qu'Appelle ; and the last 
 composed of the Rocky Mountain 
 Stonies, the Swampy Crees, and the 
 Saultenux of the country lying between 
 Manitoba and Fort Ellice. The Prairie 
 Indians live on buffalo, and in large 
 camp ■, and are warlike ; the Thickwood 
 Indians live on deer, &c, in small par- 
 lies, a id are peaceable. The Blackfeet 
 occupy the immense tract of country 
 between the Saskatchewan and the 
 frontier, a large portion of which is arid 
 and sandy, being a true extension of the 
 great American desert, which extends 
 from the fertile belt of the Saskatche- 
 wan to the borders of Texas. It thus 
 happens that the most active trading 
 relations of'the Blackfeet are more easily 
 carried on with the Americans on the 
 Upper Missouri, and the product :,f their 
 robes, &c, generally finds its way dow.i 
 the waters of the Missouri. In 'British 
 Columbia Indians are found over the 
 whole provirye. They are generally 
 q'iiet, peaceable, and very intellige it, 
 with great natural power of observation. 
 A large number of them are instructed 
 by Anglican and Roman Catholic 
 missionaries- There are about fifty 
 schools for Indian children established 
 in the Domini n, principally in the 
 Provinces of Ontario and Queb c. 
 Some of the teachers are paid out of the 
 Indian fund; others are supported by 
 various societies. The number ot pupil'} 
 is about two thousand. Among thu 
 functions of the Indian Departme it are 
 the distribution of seed and agri ultural 
 implements; Ihe erection of school 
 houses ; the relief of the aged and infirm;

 and other like acts of charity and assis- 
 tance. 
 
 History.— Canada has its name from 
 the Iroquois word K anata, signifying a 
 collection of huts, and which the early 
 European discoverers mistook for the 
 naine<pf the country. It was first dis- 
 covered, .in 1497, by Sebastian Cabot, 
 and partly explored by Jacques Cartier 
 between 1535 and 1543 ; but the first 
 settlement made by Europeans was in 
 L605, at Port Royal, Acadia, (now 
 Annapolis, Nova Scotia,) by de Monts, 
 a Frenchman. In 1608 a permanent 
 settlement was made by Cham plain 
 upon the present site of Quebec, Cana- 
 da being then called New France. The 
 mode of colonization was semi-reli- 
 gious. Bands of Jesuit and Recollet 
 missionaries penetrated the country in 
 all directions, endeavoring to convert 
 the Indians to the Christian faith. 
 Garrisoned forts were erected at all 
 the prominent points, and the ensuing 
 century was chequered by contests 
 with the Indians, especially the Iro- 
 quois, a fierce tribe which continually 
 harassed the French, the latter being 
 aided by the less powerful Hurons. Be- 
 tween 1614 and 1713 Acadia was several 
 times taken by the British and restored 
 to France, but in the last named year 
 it finally became a British possession, 
 together with Newfoundland. The 
 French then erected strong fortifica- 
 tions at Louisbourg, Cape Breton, but 
 these were also taken by the British. 
 The first Legislature of Nova Scotia 
 met in 1758. In the following year the 
 illustrious Wolfe captured Quebec, and 
 three years later French power in 
 this quarter of the globe ceased. After 
 the taking of Quebec the country was 
 placed under military rule. The French 
 Canadians were guaranteed the free 
 U3e of their religion, and their clergy 
 remained in the enjoyment of their 
 former rights. The ancient criminal 
 law was, however, superseded by the 
 Criminal Law of England. In 1774 a 
 Legislative Council, composed of 23 
 members, was appointed to assist the 
 governor. The American revolution 
 soon after convulsed the continent, 
 and Canada was again the theatre of 
 contending hosts. The American 
 army of invasion advanced without 
 much difficulty over large tracts of the 
 country, but received a check at Que- 
 
 bec, where Montgomery fell in 1775. 
 In 1784 the present limits of New 
 Brunswick were divided from those of 
 Nova Scotia, and erected into a sepa- 
 rate Province by a special constitutional 
 charter, the administration of which 
 was confided to Colonel Carleton. The 
 first Legislature of New Brunswick met 
 in 1785. In 1791 Quebec was divided 
 into two provinces, and representative 
 government introduced, an event 
 which, though far from satisfying the 
 French Canadian party, was, neverthe- 
 less, a step in that direction. The first 
 Legislature of Lower Canada met in 
 1791. that of Upper Canadain 1792. In 
 1812 Canada was again disturbed by 
 the war between Great Britain and the 
 United States, but at its close the 
 colony still remained in close connec- 
 tion with the mother country. In 
 1822 a project for re-uniting Upper 
 and Lower Canada was started. At- 
 tempts were made to render the 
 advisers of the Governors responsible 
 to the popular branch of the Legisla- 
 ture. For some time these efforts were 
 unsuccessful, and the fierceness of the 
 struggle greatly excited the colony. 
 In 1837 the agitation was fanned into 
 open violence, and several engage- 
 ments ensued between the insurgents 
 and royalists. But the years 1840 and 
 1841 restored tranquillity, the two 
 Canadas being re-united in 1840, by an 
 Imperial Act, under one administra- 
 tion, and responsible government being 
 definitely established in 1841. The 
 Executive consisted of a legislative 
 council, to which th: elective principle 
 was applied, a legislative assembly 
 composed of 130 members, 65 from each 
 section of thu Province, a cabinet res- 
 ponsible to the legislature, aud a 
 Governor General appointed by the 
 Queen. The first united Parliament 
 met at Kingston in June, 1841. In 
 1844, the Government removed to 
 Montreal. In 1849 the Parliament 
 buildings there were destroyed by a 
 mob. The seat of Government was at 
 once removed to Toronto, and it was 
 arranged to hold the sessions of the 
 legislature for four years alternately 
 in Toronto and Quebec. This system 
 being attended with much inconveni- 
 ence Parliament resolved on a perma- 
 nent site, but being unable to agree on 
 one left the selection in the bauds of

 the Queen, who, in 1858, fixed on 
 Ottawa. Party government about this 
 time became well nigh impossible. In 
 the successive elections which had been 
 held during the preceding years it was 
 found that the hostile majority from 
 either Province in the Legislature had 
 increased rather than diminished. In 
 1864 the feeling of antagonism came to 
 a crisis, but a3 the sequel will show it 
 was only the thick darkness which 
 preceded the dawning of a brighter 
 day, for out of this crisis grew the 
 Dominion of Canada. A3 a remedy 
 for the existing difficulties the Reform 
 leaders made overtures to Sir John A. 
 Macdonald suggesting the adoption of 
 a federative system. These overtures 
 were cordially received and a Coali- 
 tion Govennent was formed pledged 
 to the introduction of such a scheme. 
 By a fortunate coincidence, within 
 a month after the formation of the 
 ministry a Conference was being 
 arranged at Charlottetown for the 
 purpose of discussing the expediency 
 of a union of the Provinces of Nova 
 Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince 
 Edward Island under one government 
 one and legislature. The Canadian 
 Government asked permission to send 
 delegates ; their request was granted, 
 and on the 18th of September, 186 1, 
 they met the Maritime delegates. The i 
 Conference had met to discuss a Legis- 
 lative Union, — a question with which 
 the Canadian delegates had no autho- 
 rity to deal. The proposal to unite the 
 Maritime Provinces was looked upon as 
 impracticable; but the delegates were 
 unanimously of opinion that a union 
 on a larger basis might be effected. The 
 Canadian delegates proposed a further 
 Conference to consider the possibility 
 of a Federal Union, which was agreed 
 to, and the Conference adjourned to 
 meet again at Quebec on the 10th of 
 October. On the day appointed it met, 
 and after a session of 18 days the 
 scheme of Confederation was placed 
 before the public. This scheme wa3, 
 after a time, accepted by the Legisla- 
 tures of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick 
 and Canada, but not by Newfoundland 
 or Prince Edward Island. Delegates 
 were then sent to England, the Union 
 Act was submitted to the Imperial 
 Parliament, passed that body on the 
 28th of March, 1867, and on the 22nd 
 
 day of May Her Majesty's proclamation 
 was issued declaring that the Domin- 
 ion of Canada should come into 
 existence on the 1st. of July, 1867. By 
 this Act "old" Canada was divided 
 into the two Provinces of Ontario and 
 Quebec. In 1870 the Government of 
 the Dominion was extended over the 
 North West Territories, (out of which 
 the Province of Manitoba was erected,) 
 in 1871 over British Columbia, and in 
 1873 over Prince Edward Island. The 
 Island of Newfoundland is still out in 
 the cold, but only for a short time. Its 
 destiny is inevitable : it must form part of 
 the Dominion of Canada, " the bright- 
 est jewel in the British crown."

 CAPE BRETON, an island at the 
 eastern extremity of Nova Scotia, 
 mostly between lat. 45° and 47" 5' N., 
 and Ion. C0 : and 61° 30' W. Extreme 
 length from north to south 100 miles ; 
 extreme breadth 85 miles ; area 3,120 
 square miles. The first settlement in 
 this island (which was united under 
 the spme government with Nova Scotia 
 in 1819) was made in 1712 by the 
 French. It had been discovered by 
 Cabot in 1497. Previous to the year 
 1700 it had been frequented only by fur 
 traders and fishermen. After the loss 
 of Acadia the French turned their 
 atteniion to this island, and began to 
 build fortifications at Louisburg, which 
 continued to be the capital for many 
 years, the government being modelled 
 on that of Quebec. War having again 
 been declared between France and 
 England, Governor Shirley, of Massa- 
 chusetts, formed the design of taking 
 Louisburg, though the place was sup- 
 posed to be almost impreguabl*. The 
 expedition sailed from Boston, and 
 arrived at Canso on the 5th April, 1745. 
 The reinforcements despatched hv the 
 French were captured by the English 
 Admiral, and Louisburg was finally 
 forced to capitulate. The Acadians 
 in great alarm sent to France for help 
 and an expedition was got up to recon- 
 quer Acadia and Cape Breton. But 
 the hostile Meet met wiih terrible dis- 
 asters. Wrecked and dispersed by vio- 
 lent storms, and the crews thinned by 
 epidemic, the expedition accomplished 
 nothing, and only a remnant returned 
 to France. By the treaty of Aix-la- 
 Chapelle in 1748, Cape B*reton was 
 restored to Franc;/, but it was soon after 
 finally attached to the British posses- 
 sions. The island is very irregularly 
 shaped, being triangular, and is greatly 
 
 indented with bays. An inlet, called 
 Bras d'Or (i.e., arm of gold,) entering 
 Cape Breton on the east nearly sepa- 
 rates it into two islands, rendering 
 every part of its interior accessible by 
 water. The two natural divisions thus 
 created are in striking contrast, the 
 northern portion being high, bold and 
 steep ; while that to the south is low, in- 
 tersected by numerous inlets, diversified 
 with moderate elevations, and rises 
 gradually from its interior shore until 
 it presents abrupt cliffs toward the 
 Atlantic ocean. The highest land in 
 this portion does not exceed 800 feet, 
 while the northern division at its ter- 
 mination in North Cape rises to the 
 height of 1,800 feet. Between North 
 Cape and Cape Ray on the opposite 
 coast of Newfoundland, 48 miles dis- 
 tant, is the main entrance to the Gluf 
 of St. Lawrence. The Bras d'Or lake is 
 50 miles in length and 20 miles in 
 breadth. Its depth of water varies 
 from 12 to 60 fathoms, and it is very 
 secure and navigable. In several of 
 its large bays the timber ships from 
 . England receive their cargoes. There 
 are several fresh water lakes, and 
 numerous rivers, but none navigable. 
 Salt springs are found on the coast. 
 The climate is varied, but not so 
 rigorous as that on the adjoining conti- 
 nent. Vegetation is very rapid. Maize 
 and other grains are raised ; but the 
 corn produced is insufficient for home 
 consumption. Marble, granite, lime- 
 stone and primitive slates prevail ; ano> 
 gypsum, salt and coal are found, 
 the latter in great abundance and of 
 a superior quality. The coal deposits of 
 Cape Breton occupy not less than 120 
 square miles. There are also rich depo- 
 sits of tbe best iron ore and gold. 
 
 Cape Breton has long been celebrated 
 for its fisheries. During its occupancy 
 by the French it is said that the harbor 
 of Louisburg exported no less than 
 500,000 quintals of cod annually, and 
 600 vessels were employed in its trade 
 and fisheries. The products of the 
 Cape Breton fisheries in 1871 were as 
 follows: — 
 
 Dried Cod, cwt 126,275 
 
 Scalefish " 64,025 
 
 Pickled fish, Mackerel in barrels 49, '226

 Oil of all kinds in gallons 74,625

 5,780 men were employed ia the above 
 fisheries. 
 
 The forests of Cape Breton furnish 
 large quantities of excellent ship timber, 
 and shipbuilding constitutes an im- 
 portant and lucrative business. 
 
 Cape Breton has a3 yet no railway 
 communication with Nova Scotia 
 proper, but a line is projected between 
 New Glasgow and Louisburg, one of 
 the finest harbors in the world. Th:s 
 would give the trade of the. Dominion 
 an outlet winter and summer. It is 
 about 200 miles nearer Europe than 
 Halifax, and as a coaling depot it would 
 be unequalled on account of ttie cheap- 
 ness of coal. A short railway of ten 
 miles now connects the coal mines with 
 the port of Sydney, but the several 
 . companies are arranging to build a line 
 to Louisburg so as to ship at all sea- 
 sons. As coal only costs §1.25 a ton 
 at the pit mouth, it will only add 50 
 cents to the ton to be delivered at 
 Louisburg. The estimated cost of a 
 railway from Now Glasgow to Louis- 
 burg is five million dollars. Cape 
 Breton is divided into four counties, 
 Richmond, Inverness, Victoria and 
 Cape Breton, and sends 8 members 
 to the Provincial Legislature, and 5 
 to the House of Commons. Pop. in 1861, 
 : in 1871, 75,483.

 preter who had married a young Al- 
 gonquin girl and purchased at this 
 portage furs for the traders. After a 
 winter thus passed he ascertained that 
 a party of Iroquois were waiting to 
 pounce upon the canoes. To prevent 
 this he and a young brave endeavored 
 to inveigle the Iroquois int the woods, 
 while the canoes descended the rapids, 
 and by a circuitous route himself 
 rejoin the voyageurs. He succeeded 
 in the first part of his design ; but 
 when 13 days had elapsed and Cadieux 
 was not heard from, a party was sent 
 to scour the woods, who found a small 
 hut of boughs and the corpse of the 
 interpreter half covered with green 
 branches. His hands were clasped 
 over a large sheet of birch bark, on 
 which was scribbled his tale of ex- 
 haustion, hunger and death. The 
 piece of bark on which his death song 
 was written (for Cadieux was a poet) 
 was brought to the post of the Lake of 
 Two Mountains acd the voyageurs 
 set it to a plaintive melody, which is 
 much in the style of the eld Norman 
 ballads. Pop. of island 1,080.

 " % In the Acadian land on the shores of the 
 
 Basin of Minas, 
 Distant, secluded, still, the little village 
 
 of Grand Pre 
 Lay in the fruitful valley. Vast meadows 
 
 stretched to the eastward, 
 Giving the village its name and pasture 
 
 to flocks without number." 
 And again : 
 " Still stands the forest primeval ; but under 
 
 the shade of its branches 
 Dwells another race, with other customs 
 
 and language. 
 Only aloug the shores of the mournful 
 
 and misty Atlantic 
 Linger a few Acadian peasants, whose 
 
 lathers from exile 
 Wandeied back to their native land, to 
 
 die in its bosom. 
 In the fisherman's cot, the wheel.and the 
 
 loom are still busy; 
 Maidens still wear their Norman caps 
 
 and their kirtles ol homespun, 
 And by the evening Are repeat Evange- 
 line's story; 
 While from its rocky caverns, the deep- 
 voiced neighbouring Ocean 
 Speaks, and in accents disconsolate 
 
 answers the wail of the forest.' -

 KINGSTON, a city of Ontario, at 
 one time Capital of Upper Canada, 
 situated at the outlet of Lake Ontario, 
 172 miles W. of Montreal. Lat. 44° 
 12' N, Ion. 76° 41 W. The city 
 occupies the site of old Fort Fron- 
 tenac, on the N.E. shore of the river, 
 opposite Wolfe Island, having the har- 
 bour and shipping in front. The har- 
 bour is formed at the mouth of Oatara- 
 qui river, which here enters the Lake. 
 The west shore is bold and shipping of 
 a iy size may lie here in perfect safety. 
 East of the Bay the land projects 
 southward, terminating in Point Frede- 
 rick, or Navy Island, beyond which is 
 Haldimand Cove, a deep basin of 
 water, protected by this point on the 
 west, and Point Henry on the east, and 
 guarded from southerly winds by Wolfe 
 Island in front. Kingston is, after 
 Quebec and Halifax, the strongest 
 fort in the Dominion of Canada. 
 There is a fort on Messessaga Point, and 
 all other accessible points are secured 
 by batteries. There are extensive mili- 
 tary works on Navy Point, and on Point 
 Henry is a fortress which comp etely 
 commands the harbor and town. Along 
 bridge across Cataraqui Bay connects 
 Kingston with Pittsburg, besides which

 there are the suburbs of Barriefield, 
 French Village, and Williamsville. 
 The city is regularly laid out with 
 streets crossing each other at right 
 angles It is chiefly built of blue lime- 
 stone, which underlies the town. The 
 streets are lighted with gas, and the 
 houses are partly supplied with water 
 from the Bay and partly from wells. 
 Wells of mineral water, composed 
 chiefly of chloride of sodium and cal- 
 cium lave been obtained in three in- 
 stances by boring to the depth of 145, 
 85, and 75 feet respectively. Among 
 the public buildings are the city hali 
 and market, court house and gaol, post 
 office. 17 churches, including a Roman 
 Catholic Cathedral, 2 colleges, Me-

 the west of the city lies the Provincial 
 Penitentiary, a large and massive stone 
 building surrounded by a high and 
 most substantial wall, with towers at 
 the corners. Beyond the Penitentiary 
 is the Roekwood Lunatic Asylum.

 commercial affairs of Kingston are 
 regulated by a Board of Trade. The 
 Grand Trunk railway has an impor- 
 tant station in rear of the town; 
 freight trains run to the harbor A 
 railway is in course of construction 
 from Kingston to Pembroke, distant 
 120 miles. The Rideau Canal, con- 
 necting this port with the Ottawa 
 river, has made it a place of considerable 
 commercial importance. Four news- 
 papers are published — 2 daily and 2 
 weekly The city is divided into 7 
 wards, and governed by a mayor, board 
 of aldermen and common council. It 
 returns 1 member to the House of Com- 
 mons and 1 to the Provincial Legisla- 
 ture. It is the seat of the See of the 
 Roman Catholic Bishop of Kingston, 
 
 and is a port of entry. The total value 
 of imports for 1872 was $6,976,022; 
 exports Si, 733,222. Pop. 1844, 6,840 ;

 A settlement was begun here by the 
 French, under De Courcelles, as early 
 as 1672, under the name of Fort 
 Cataraqui, and the fort subsequently 
 received the name of Fort Frontenac in 
 honour of the French count of that 
 name. This fort was afterwards in the 
 possession of the French and the 
 Indians, until it was destroyed by the 
 expedition under Colonel Bradstreet in 
 1758.. In 1762 the place fell into the 
 hands of the British, from whom it 
 received its present name. It was in- 
 corporated a city in 1838.

 56° to 78° W., bounded on the south- 
 east and east by the Gulf of St. Law- 
 rence and the Atlantic; on the north 
 andwestbyHudson's Strait andlludson's 
 Bay ; aud on the south-west by Rupert's 
 river, Lake Mistassini and Betsiamites 
 river. Extreme length 1,100 miles; 
 breadth 470 miles. Area estimated at 
 450,000 square miles ; or about equal to 
 the British Islands, France and Prussia 
 combined. Blanc Sablon, near the 
 mouth of the North West river, is the 
 eastern boundary of the Canadian part of 
 this great peninsula, which includes the 
 whole area draining into t'e river and 
 Gulf of St. Lawrence. The portion 
 belonging to Newfoundland is roughly 
 defined as that which is drained by 
 rivers flowing into the Atlantic. The 
 remaining area, draining into Hudson's 
 Bay, is called East Main, and is included 
 in the North West Territories of the 
 Dominion of Canada. 
 
 The interior of Labrador is very 
 imperfectly known. Professor Hind, 
 who explored it, describes it thus : " The 
 table-land is 2,240 feet above the ocean 
 
 ,11 
 
 at the sources of the east branch of the 
 Moisic. It is pre-eminently sterile, and 
 where the country is not burned cariboo 
 moss covers the rocks. In the hollows 
 and deep ravines are to be found stunted 
 spruce, birch and aspens. The whole of 
 the table-land is strewed with an infinite 
 number of boulders, sometimes three 
 and four deep. These singular erratics 
 are perched on the summit of every 
 mountain and hill, often on the edges of 
 cliffs, and they vary in size from one 
 foot to twenty feet in diameter. Lan- 
 guage fails to paint the awful desola- 
 tion of the table-land of the Labrador 
 peninsula." 
 
 The principal water shed is formed by 
 the Wotchish mountains sending the 
 water which gathers on its side West, 
 North and East. The principal rivers 
 are the East Main or Stude which flows 
 nearly due west into the south-east 
 extremity of Jameses Bay ; the Great 
 and Little Whale Rivers, which flow in 
 the same direction^and fall into the 
 south-east extremityWof Hudson's Bay ; 
 the Kenoganissee and Koksoak, which 
 flowing respectively north-east and 
 north-west, unite their streams and fall 
 into the Ungava or South Bay, off tho 
 S.E. of Hudson's Strait;, and the 
 Meschickemau or North West River, 
 which flows east into the Strait of 
 Belleisle. The lakes are very numer- 
 ous, almost every river forming several 
 by expanding during its course. Tho 
 largest are Clear Water, in the west, 
 which discharges itself by a stream of 
 the same name into Hudson's Bay ; 
 Mistassini in the south, and Meschicke- 
 mau, an expansion of the river of tb.9 
 same name. 
 
 The prevailing rocks on the coast are 
 granite, gneiss and mica-sla'e. Above 
 these, in some parts, is a bed of old 
 red sandstone, about 200 feet thick, 
 followed by secondary limestone. To- 
 wards the interior, the secondary for- 
 mations disappear, and the primary 
 become predominant. The surface, 
 when seen at a distance from the sea, 
 has a green and alluvial appearanr-e, 
 but is found, on examination, to bo 
 covered with moss and stunted shrubs. 
 In the valleys, where the soil is sandy, 
 and the temperature considerably above 
 the average, juniper, bireh and poplar 
 trees are found growing, and form a 
 covert during the summer for deer,bears,

 wolves, foxes, martens, otters, &c, till 
 the approach of winter drives them to 
 the coast. 
 
 The climate is too severe to ripen any 
 of the ordinary cereals. Barley, sown 
 and cut green, makes excellent 
 fodder ; potatoes and several species 
 of culinary vegetables are said to do 
 well. The whole of this vast wilder- 
 ness is uninhabited by civilized man, 
 with the exception of a few settlements 
 on the St. Lawrence and Atlantic coasts, 
 and some widely separated posts of the 
 Hudson's Bay Company. Wandering 
 tribes of Esquimaux occupy the northern 
 coast of La rador, while nomad c tribes 
 of Naskapees,Mis assini and Montagnais 
 Indians are thinly scattered over the 
 interior. The exports, which are chiefly 
 through Newfoundland, are codfish, 
 salmon, seal and whale oil and furs. 
 Once the country was rich in fur bear- 
 ing animals and cariboo or reindeer, 
 but these are now greatly reduced in 
 numbers* Of th i eastern side hardly 
 anythi ig is known beyond the coast, 
 which has been carefully surveyed by 
 Capt. Bayfield. Before his day it was 
 on this bleak and dangerous coast that 
 the great navigat >r, Captain Cook, first 
 displayed those talents as a marine 
 surveyor which gained for him the 
 patronage of Sir Hugh Palliser, and 
 drew public attention to his extraor- 
 dinary enterprise. His charts ofNew- 
 foin Hand, Labrador, and the Straits of 
 B dleisle are, to this day, a convincing 
 proof of his fidelity, genius and dis- 
 cern me it. 
 
 The Indians who inhabit the interior 
 of Labrador ace all tribes of the once 
 great Algonquin race, whose domains 
 extended, before the arrival of the 
 "pale-faces," from the Rocky Mountain? 
 to Newfoundland, and from Labrador 
 to the Carolinas. 'a he aborigines of 
 Newfoundland belonged to this wide- 
 spread race of red men. The Monag- 
 n'ai i or .Mountaineers as they are com- 
 monly called, occupied the country 
 along the lower St. Lawrence and the 
 Gulf; the Scoffls, Naskapces and Mis- 
 lassini are the Algonquins of Labrador 
 proper, and coterminous with the 
 Esquimaux. The Mountaineers, or 
 " Iluntinp Indians" of Labrador, once 
 formed a " great nation,"and could bring 
 into the field a thousand warriors to 
 repel the incursions of the Esquimaux, 
 
 with whom they were constantly at 
 war, and for whom they have still a 
 bitter hatred and contempt. 
 
 They are slothful whe i not excited 
 by war or the chase, cruel, revengeful 
 and superstitious. Nearly all of them, 
 like the Micmacs of Nova Scotia, pro- 
 fess the Roman Catholic faith ; but 
 they have imbibed little of the spirit 
 of Christianity. They bring down furs 
 to the settlements on the coast, and 
 exchange them for ammunition and 
 clothing. In the use of firearms they 
 are very expert ; but they are frequently 
 compelled, by a scarcity of ammunition, 
 to recur for support to then original 
 weapons, the bow and arrow, and with 
 these they can kill a flying partridge 
 at forty yards distance. Their canoes 
 are made of birch-bark, and their 
 sledges of a thm birch board, shod with 
 slips of bone. The Mountaineers dr;w 
 their own sledges, as their dogs are 
 but small and used only for the purpose 
 of hunting. 
 
 The Esquimaux of Labrador live 
 almost entirely by fishing. They are 
 partially Christianized and civilized 
 through the praiseworthy exertions of 
 Moravian missionaries. They exchange 
 far?, oil and whalebone for ammunition, 
 guns and clothing at the European 
 settlements. They are mild, hospitable 
 and honest. They are well provided 
 with a peculiar br ra ed of dogs, vora- 
 cious and fierce, and so like wolves that 
 they mijtht easily be mistaken for these 
 animals. In winter the Esquimaux 
 travel with these dogs over the snow 
 at the rate of from six to ten miles an 
 hour ; each sledge is drawn by ten or 
 twelve dogs: yoked two a id two, a pair 
 of the most ^sagacious being placed in 
 front aa leaders, and the whole guided 
 by a long whip, without reins, the lash 
 extending to the foremost dogs. Their 
 huts are, in winter, embanked with turf 
 and moss, excepting a small casement 
 of oiled seal skin at the top. Without 
 any fire but a lamp, these inhabitations 
 are a i warm as an oven. The passion- 
 ate attachment of the Esquimaux to 
 their frozen seas and icy plains is won- 
 derful. They infinitely prefer their 
 storm-beaten shores to the gentle waves 
 and cerulean skies of more temperate 
 regions. It is clear that they are a 
 totally different race from the Red 
 Indians of America. The Esquimaux
 
 LAB

 LAC 
 
 are stunted in stature and essentially 
 Mongolian in physiognomj', having a 
 flattened nose, prominent profile and 
 copper-colored skin It is remarkable 
 that the Esquimaux is the only family 
 common to the Old World and the New 
 
 Paring the brief Labrador summer 
 the whole coast, for five hundred miles 
 north of the Straits of Bclleisle, swarms 
 with fishermen from Newfoundland, 
 Nova Scotia,, Quebec, and the United 
 Slates. They are engaged in the cap- 
 ture and c ire of cod, salmon and her- 
 ring. The total value of these fisheries 
 is not less th «n a million sterling. Most 
 of the fishermen who frequent Labrador 
 in summer are from Newfouudland. 
 They proceed to the various fishing 
 stations along the coast, in small ves- 
 sels, oft n taking their families along 
 with them, and reside ashore in tem- 
 porary huts. They arrive about the 
 end of June, when the ice is pretty well 
 cleared away from the coast, and re- 
 main till the first or second week in 
 October. A considerable part of the 
 cod, salmon and herring is shipped by 
 the supplying merchants direct from 
 Labrador to foreign ports, but more of 
 it is taken to St. John's, Harbor Grace 
 and other places, where it is stored to 
 be shipped according to the demand of 
 foreign markets. 
 
 Bleak and savage as are the shores of 
 Labiador, yet their appearance or as- 
 pect is often picturesque and grand, 
 and sometimes strangely beautiful.

 The famous Labrador feldspar is well 
 known, and is abundant near I he Euro- 
 pean settlements on the southern por- 
 tion of the peninsula of Labrador. 
 
 Labrador was discovered by Cabot 
 ill 1496; aid re-discovered by Hudson 
 in 1610 The European settlements, all 
 on the east coast, consist of Forteau 
 and Bradore Bays, Anse Le Blanc, and 
 the Moravian stations Main, Okhak, 
 Hopedale and Hebron. The Hudson's 
 Bay Company have several settlements 
 in Labrador and receive many valuable 
 furs from it. The total population is 
 supposed to be about 5,000.

 1,6C0 feet , some peaks about the Sague- 
 ney attain a height of 4,000 feet. The 
 surface is of a mammillated character, 
 its hills being worn by glacial action 
 into lounct backed forms, in general 
 thickly clothed with wood, the prevail- 
 ing trees on the summits being ever- 
 greens, in some places chiefly pine, and 
 in others spruce, while hardwood 
 sometimes abounds on the iower eleva- 
 tions and in the valleys. The va'leys 
 are in general Dot very wide, and many 
 are worn into deep pits holding ponds 
 and lakes, some streams indeed are 
 nothing more from their sources to 
 their mouths than a chain of such quiet 
 expansions united by short discharging 
 channels. The prodigious number of 
 these sheets of water, great and small, 
 bespangling the whole area, is one of 
 its most remarkable features, and when 
 looked upon as displayed on a map, 
 they appeal so scattered at random 
 over the surface as to contradict al-> 
 most any supposed law of distribution

 MANITOULIN, a group of islands in 
 the province of Ontario, stretching from 
 E. to W. along the N. shore of Lake 
 Huron, and consisting chiefly of the 
 Great Manitoulin or Sacred Isle, Little 
 Manitoulin or Cockburn, and Drum- 
 mond. Great Manitoulin, 30 miles long 
 by 20 miles broad, has an area of 
 1 ,61 10 square miles, is deeply indented by 
 nnmeros bays, and has an elevated and 
 very rugged surface. Many of the pre- 
 cipices are covered with clumps of beau- 
 tiful trees ; and behind, in the interior, 
 a re large and dense pine forests. Little 
 Manitoulin has a diameter of about 7 
 miles, and, in its general features, re- 
 .-- lables Great Manitoulin. The chan- 
 nel between them is about 8 miles long 
 and 4 broad. Drummond, 24 miles long, 
 with a breadth varying from 2 to 12 
 miles, has an irregular surface, covered 
 with large masses of rock. It is sepa- 
 rated from the American shore on the 
 W., by a strait, called the True Detour,

 the principal passage for vessels pro- 
 ceeding to Lake Superior. Pop.

 MANITOBA, a province of the Do- 
 minion uf Canada, bounded on the S. 
 by the United State.-;, and on the N.E. 
 and W. by the North West Territor- 
 ies of the Dominion. It extends from 
 49- to 50 J 30 N.lat., and from 90' to 99° 
 W. Ion., and comprises an area of 14,340 
 square miles, or 9,177.000 acres. 
 
 The name Manitoba, taken from a 
 large lake, a part of which lies in the 
 province, is a eo ltraction, made by the 
 old French Canadian voyageurs, of the 
 Cree word Maiiilo-waban. Manila sig- 
 nifies eupernnatural, divine spirit ; and 
 waban means a strait. As the wsters 
 of a strait in that lake are agitated in 
 an unusual way, the Indians believed 
 formerly there was therein something 
 supernatural, a spirit that moved them, 
 and so they called the lake Manitowaban. 
 The agricultural capabilities of its 
 soil cannot be exceeded for many 
 things. The most part of the province 
 is prairie land perfectly level and diver- 
 sified by groups of elm, ash, oak, pop- 
 lar, basswood, and ash-leaf maple, 
 (negondo frosi ni folia.) It is a rich, 
 black mould resting partly on a lime- 
 stone formation and partly on a thick 
 coat of hard clay. Manure, not indis- 
 pensable at first, is as useful here as 
 elsewhere. It has not been used much 
 so far, oi account of the large amount 
 of land possessed by each oi' the Inha- 
 bitants, which circumstance enables 
 them not to sow the same grain several 
 years running. Wheat ripens in 110 
 da} r s and gives an average return of 20 
 to 25 bushels to the acre. All kinds of 
 garden vegetables, as well as oats, bar- 
 jey, Indian corn, hops, flax, hemp, 
 potatoes, and other root crops are 
 easily raised. The grassy savannas of 
 Red River afford unlimited pasturage 
 ranges, as long as unploughed. 
 
 The climate of Manitoba, though very 
 severe in winter, is nevertheless occa- 
 sionally hot in summer. The mean for 
 the three winter months of Dec, Jan., 
 and Feb., is 5 1 below ; and for the 
 summer months of June, July, and 
 August, 65°. Though the winter is 
 extremely cold, it is mitigated by a 
 clear, dry atmosphere. A population 
 more healthythan the Manitobans can- 
 not be met anywhere. 
 
 The province is entirely level, and so 
 much so that it is void of any scenery 
 whatsoever. 
 
 The principal rivers are the As- 
 siniboine, 480 miles long, and Red 
 River, G65 miles long, 525 of which 
 are in the United States. The largest 
 lakes (only a part of which, however, 
 are in Manitoba) arc Winnipeg, 280 
 miles long and 5 to 57 miles wide, and 
 Manitoba, 110 miles long and 25 wide. 
 
 Manitoba is divided into four elec- 
 toral districts for Dominion elections, 
 viz: Selkirk, Provencher, Lisgar, and 
 Marquette, each of which sends 1 mem- 
 ber to the House of Commons. 
 
 Winnipeg is the capital of the pro- 
 vince. Fort Garry (the mercantile 
 establishment of the Hon. Hudson's 
 Bay Company) is the temporary resi- 
 dence of the governor, while the gov- 
 ernment departments are in Winnipeg, 
 a small but rapidly growing town which 
 includes Fort Garry in its limits. There 
 are two bishops in the province : the 
 Archbishop of St. Boniface (Roman 
 Catholic), residing at St. Boniface, 
 east side of the Red River, facing 
 Winnipeg and FortGarry: and the Lord 
 Bishop of Rupert's Laud (Church of 
 England), residing at St. John, below 
 Winnipeg, west side of the Red River. 
 
 The public affairs are administered by 
 a Lieutenant Governor, an Executive 
 Council of 5 members, a Legislative 
 Council of 7 members, appointed for 
 life, and a Legislative Assembly of 24 
 members, elected every 4 years. Justice 
 is dispensed by a Chief Justice and two 
 puisne judges. 
 
 There are four religious denomina- 
 tions in Manitoba. The Roman Catholics 
 are the most numerous. They have a 
 cathedral and 10 churches, and about 
 3,000 adherents. The Episcopalians 
 have a cathedral, 14 churches, over 900 
 communicants and about 14 clergy. 
 The Presbyterians have 4 churches and 
 4 preaching stations. The Wesleyan 
 Methodists are as yet numerically 
 small, but making steady progress. 
 There are also small groups of Baptists 
 and some Unitarians. 
 
 The province is well provided with 
 educational institutions. It has three 
 colleges, St. John's (Church of Eng- 
 land), St. Boniface (Roman Catholic), 
 and Kildonan (Presbyterian), a Con- 
 vent, 3 Protestant Ladies Schools, and 
 40 common schools, 20 amongst the 
 Protestants and 20 amongst the Roman 
 Catholics. The Sisters of Charity from

 tional or separate.

 In 1^7°, telegraphic communication 
 was established between Manitoba and 
 the United Slates. 
 
 There are no railways in the pro- 
 vince, br.t several are projected. One 
 from Fort Garry to Pembina will con- 
 nect Manitoba with the railway system 
 of the United States. It is a branch 
 of the Canada Pacific, and has to be 
 finished by Dec, 1874. The Canada 
 Pacific, which will pass through the 
 Province, will add immensely to its 
 growth and prosperity. 
 
 Steamers ply on Red River, between 
 Fort Garry and Moorhcad, Minnesota, a 
 station of the American Northern Paci- 
 fic Railway, on the Red River. 
 
 Fort Garry is now reached by way 
 of St. Paul, Moorlicad and Pembina; 
 also by the Dawson or Canadian 
 route from the head of Lake Superior. 
 Distant from Montreal 1,586 miles. 
 When the Canada Pacific Railway is 
 built this distance will be reduced to 
 1,200 miles. 
 
 Every bondrfide settler receives a home- 
 stead or a free grant of 100 acres of land. 
 
 The total value of imports for 1872 
 was §942,247; exports §841. 
 
 This section of North America was 
 first visited by the French. Chevalier 
 de la Verandrye built a fort at 
 the mouth of the Assiniboine in 1731. 
 The French continued to trade there 
 alone for many } r ears, but in 1767 the 
 first English traders visited it, a id soon 
 several rival companies were in opera- 
 tion. These finally dwindled into the 
 famous North West Company, which 
 in its turn was absorbed by the Hud- 
 son's Bay Company, chartered by King 
 Charles II in 1670. The latter company 
 having sold a tract of land to the Hon. 
 Thomas Douglas, Earl of Selkirk, on 
 both sides of the Assiniboine and of the 
 Red River, his lordship planted there, 
 in 1812, a colony known by the name of 
 Selkirk Settlement, Red 'River Settle- 
 ment, or also Assimboia. In 1836 the 
 Hudson's Bay Company repurchased 
 from the heirs of Lord Selkirk the same 
 tract of land ceded to his lordship in 
 1811, and continued to exercise author- 
 ity over that portion of Rupert's Land 
 by the appointment of the Governor 
 and Council of Assimboia, which, in 
 course of time, especially after the set- 
 tlers had declared independence of trade 
 in 1849, formed a rather independent 
 administration for the local affairs in 
 the colony, the limits of which extended 
 but fifty miles around Fort Garry. It 
 is that colony that now forms the great- 
 est part of the new province of Manitoba. 
 
 The Hudson's Bay Company never 
 claimed any proprietary rights on the 
 North West Territories proper. These 
 territories formerly included nothing 
 but the lands east of the Rocky Moun- 
 tains, watered by the rivers running 
 towards the Arctic Sea. The Charter 
 of the Company merely included 
 Rupert's Land, i.e., the lands watered 
 by the tributaries of Hudson's Bay. 
 
 These two immense portions of coun- 
 try outside of the province of Manitoba 
 are now known by the same name of 
 North West Territories. 
 
 In March, 1869, the Hudson's Bay 
 Company agreed to hand to the Im- 
 perial Government their territorial 
 rights and governing responsibilities, 
 and on the lGth of July, 1870, England 
 handed the whole to the Canadian gov- 
 ernment. It was during that period that 
 the Red River troubles took plaoe. The

 transactions between England and 
 Canada, as well as tbe Hudson's Bay 
 Coniuany, having been made without 
 consulting and even paying any atten- 
 tion to the government and people of 
 Assiniboia, a deep feeling of uneasiness 
 arose, and the Canadian authorities 
 coming into the country before the 
 transfer, met resistance. In the mean- 
 time a provisional government was 
 formed by the settlers to secure their 
 rights and come to an agreement with 
 the Dominion of Canada, delegates 
 were sent to Ottawa for that purpose 
 and treated with the proper authorities. 
 England urged the Ottawa Government 
 to satisfy the people of Red River. 
 Then the Bill of Manitoba and other 
 guarantees were agreed to, and thereby 
 the entry of Manitoba into the Confed- 
 eration was effected. 
 
 The first missionary known as having 
 visited the country is the Rev. Pere 
 Messager. who accompanied Chevalier 
 de la Verandrye in 1731. At the time 
 of the Conquest the Catholic missions 
 were abandoned ; they were resumed 
 in 1818 by the Revs. J. N. Provencher 
 and S J, N. Dumoulin, from Quebec. 
 
 The Rev J. N. Provencher was 
 consecrated bishop of Juhopolis in 1822, 
 and afterwards nominated bishop of St. 
 Boniface That see was created an 
 Archbishopric in 1871, and is now oc- 
 cupied by the Most Rev Alexandre 
 Tache, D'D 
 
 A Church o? England bishopric was 
 created in 1849. Rev David Anderson,

 The harbor of Montreal, which is 
 formed towards the St. Lawrence, is 
 secure, and the quays are unsurpassed 
 by those of any city in America ; built

 and cut stone wharves of the Lacbine 
 Ca ial, they present, for several miles, a 
 i! : I y of continuous masonry which 
 h is few parallels. No unsightly ware- 
 houses disfigure the river side. A broad 
 terrace, faced with grey limestone, the 
 parapets of which are surmounted with 
 a substantial iron railing, divides the 
 city from the river throughout its whole

 The history of Montreal dates back 
 to the 3rd of Octob?r, 1535, when 
 Jacques Carrier first landed oi its 
 shores. An Ind'an village called 
 Hochelaga existed lure at this time. 
 The way to it was through large fields 
 of Indian corn. Its outline was circu- 
 lar; and it was encompassed bj r three 
 separate rows of palisades, or rather 
 picket fenc S, one within the other, 
 well secured and put together. A 
 single entra tee was left in this rude 
 fortification, but guarded with pikes 
 and stakes and ux^iy precaution taken 
 against siege or attack. The cabins or 
 lodg s of the inhabitants, about 50 in 
 number, were constructed in the form 
 of a !u inelj each 50 feet in length by 
 15 in breadth They were formed of 
 wood cov< red with bark. Above the 
 doors of these 1 - as well as along 
 
 the outerrows ofpalisadesrana gallery 
 ascended by laddi re, wh re stones end 
 other missiles were laid in order for the 
 defence of the place. Each house con- 
 tained several chambers, and the whole 
 were so arranged as to enclose an open 
 court yard, where the fire was made 
 Carder named the place Mount R yal. 
 It first began to be settled by Europeans 
 in 1542, a d exactly one century after 
 the spotdestined for the city was con- 
 secrated with due solemnities, com- 
 mended to the " Queen of the Angels,' 
 and called Ville Marie, a. name which 
 it retained for a long period. In 1760 
 it was taken by the English. At this 
 time it was a avcII peopled town of an 
 
 oblong form, surrounded by a wall 
 flanked with eleven redoubts — a ditch 
 about 8 feet i eep and a proporti nable 
 width, but dry, and a fort and citadel, 
 the batteries of which commanded the 
 streets of the town from one end to 
 the other. The town was at this time 
 divided into upper and lower town, 
 the upper town being the level of the 
 present Court Horse In the lower town 
 the merchants and men of business 
 generally resided and b re w ere situated 
 the royal magazines, the armory, and 
 the nunnery hospital In the upper 
 town were the principal buildings, such 
 as the palace of the Governor,the houses 
 of the chief officers, the Convent of the 
 Recollets, the Jesuit's Church and 
 Seminary, the Free School, and the 
 Parish Church. 1 he houses were solidly 
 constructed in that semi-monastic style 
 peculiar to Rouen, Caen an 1 other towns 
 in Normandy. Early in the present 
 century vessels of more than 300 tons 
 could not ascend to Montreal, and its 
 foreign trade was carried 'on by small 
 brigs and barges. In 1809 the first 
 steam vessel, " The Accommodation," 
 built by the lion. John Molson, made 
 a trip to Quebec; she had berths for 
 about 20 passengers. Years of industry, 
 in1 lligence. enterprise and labor have 
 produced a mighty contrast — Ocean 
 steamers of 4.000 tons, the magnificent 
 floating palaces of th ■ Richelieu Com- 
 panj', and ships from 700 to 2,000 tons, 
 from all parts of the world, now lay 
 along side the wharves of the harbor, 
 which are not equalh don this continent, 
 in point of extent, accommodation, ap- 
 proach and cleanliness. In 1S32 the 
 cho'.era raged in Montreal with great 
 violence carrying of 1,843 inhabitants 
 in a population of little mote than 
 30,000 In A] ril, 1*40, a political mob 
 burned the Parliamentary buildings 
 (which were situated on the site of the 
 Si. Ann's market , and the seat of 
 Government was in consequence re- 
 moved to Quebec, sul sequently lo 
 Toronto, and finally to Ottawa In 
 July, 1852, a destructive fire laid waste 
 a large part of the city, burning 1,108 
 houses and destroying property valued 
 at $1,363,264 In 1800, the city was 
 visited by the Pri ic ■ of W. 1 s ; in 1862 
 by the I'uke of Edinburgh : and in 
 L869 Prince Arthur mode it his 
 residence for several months The

 Hotel Dieu was founded in 1644 by 
 Madame de Bouillo ), and six years 
 afterwards the Convent of Noire Dame 
 was founded by Mademoiselle Marguer- 
 rite de Bourgeois. In 1663, the Com- 
 pany of Montreal was dissolved, they 
 having already sold their rights to the 
 religions order of St. Sulpice at Pans, 
 by whom was founded the Seminary be- 
 lon Jnsj to that order, and still exiting 
 in the city. The two oldest churches 
 in Montreal are the Bousecours (Roman 
 Catholic) and St. Gabriel (Church of 
 Scotland). Tho former was erected in 
 1658; was burnt in 1764, but rebuilt 
 in 1771. The latter was built in 1791

 is mostly covered with wood. The 
 summit, 10 which there is a good road of 
 very easy ascent, commands a grand 
 and most magnificent prospect, includ- 
 ing every variety that can embellish a 
 landscape - ; the noble river St. Law- 
 rence, moving in all its majesty, is seen 
 in many of the windings, to an immense 
 distance ; on the south side the view is 
 bounded by the long range cf moun- 
 tains in the State of New York that is 
 gradually lost in the serial perspective. 
 The base of the mountain, almost all 
 around,. is adorned with many elegant 
 viil is and pleasure grounds. The 
 choicest orchards of the province are 
 also situated around it, the fruit being 
 of great variety and very abundant 
 anil also of the most delicious flavor.

 (each at the mouth of a considerable 
 river) from wh:ch is exported much 
 fine timber. For about 12 miles inland 
 the country is low and skirted with 
 marshes. 
 
 The face of the province is tra- 
 versed in all directions by naviga- 
 ble rivers, chief of w' ich is the St. 
 John, 450 miles in length. It is navi- 
 gable for vessels of U ton3 to Freder- 
 icton, 90 miles from the sea. Above 
 this point smaller steamers ascend G5 
 miles, to Woodstock, and occasionally 
 make trips a^ far as the Tobique, 75 
 miles further up. and even to the Grand 
 Falls,a mag lificent cataract 70 or SO feet 
 perpendicular, 225 miles from the sea. 
 Above the Falls the St. John has been 
 navigated by a steamer to the 
 mouth of the Madawaska, 40 miles ; 
 from this point b:>at; and canoes may 
 ascend almost to its sources. The 
 Madawaska river is also navigable for 
 small steamers to Lake Temiseonata, & 
 sheet of water 27 miles long, from 2 to 
 6 miles broad, and of great d pth 
 throughout. From the upper part of 
 this lake to the River St. Lawrence, at 
 Trois Pistoles, the distance is only 
 about 18 miles Tiic country dramed by 
 the St. John and its tributaries com- 
 prises about 9,^00,000 acres in New- 
 Brunswick, 2,000,000 in Quebec, and

 6,000,000 in Maine. The valley is re- 
 markable for its fertility, and pictur- 
 esque beauty. After ihe St. John, the 
 largest river of New Brunswick is the 
 Miramichi, flowing N. E. into an exten- 
 sive bay of its own name. It is 225 
 miles in length, and 7 miles wide at its 
 mouth. It is navigable for large 
 vessels 25 miles from the Gulf, and 
 for schooners 20 miles further, to the 
 head of the tide, above which, for 60 
 miles, it is navigable for tow boats. 
 The river has many large tributaries, 
 spreading over a great extent of 
 country. The Petitcodiac is a large 
 river, flowing into Cumberland Basin, 
 near the head of the Bay of Fundy. 
 It is about 100 miles in length, and is 
 navigable for vessels of the largest size 
 for 25 miles, and for schooners of 60 or 
 80 tons to the head of tide, 12 miles 
 further. The Richibucto is a consider- 
 able river flowing into the Gulf of St. 
 Lawrence. The tide flows up it 25 
 miles. It is navigable for small 
 Vessels 15 miles. The Restigouche, at 
 the north eastern extremity of the pro- 
 vince, is a noble river, 3 miles wide at 
 its entrance into the Baiedes Ohaleurs, 
 and navigable for large vessels for 18 
 miles from the Bay. The principal 
 stream of the Restigouche is over 200 
 miles in length. Irs Indian name 
 signifies " the river which divides like 
 the hand " — in allusion to its separation, 
 above the tide, in five large streams. 
 The main river, and its tributaries, 
 drains over 4,000 square miles of fertile 
 and finely timbered country. Among 
 the numerous bays with which the 
 const is indented, the most important is 
 the Baie des Ohaleurs, an immense haven 
 90 miles in length, and from 12 to 25 
 miles in breadth, with many excellent 
 harbors Throughout its whole extent 
 there is neither rock, reef, nor shoal, 
 nor any impediment to navigation. 
 On the southern, or New Brunswick, 
 side of this Hay the Bhores are low, the 
 water deepening gradually from them. 
 On the northern, or Quebec, side, the 
 shores are bold and precipitous rising 
 into eminences, which almost may be 
 called mountains. Besides the Miramichi 
 already mentioned, the principal bays 
 on its east coast are Richibucto, Buc- 
 touche, Cocagne and Shediac ; on the 
 south coast are Passamaquoddy Bay, 
 separating New Brunswick from Maim', 
 
 and on the S.W., St. John Harbor 
 and Chignecto Bay. The lakes are 
 numerous but of small extent. The 
 principal is Grand Lake, 30 miles long 
 and 2 to 7 miles wide, communicating 
 with the River St. John 50 miles from 
 the sea. 
 
 Along the shores of the Baie des Cha- 
 leurs and the Gulf of St. Lawrence 
 gray sandstone and gray clayslate pre- 
 dominate, with detached rocks of 
 granite, quartz, and ironstone ; on the 
 south coast, limestone, graywacke, 
 clayslate, with sandstone, interrupted 
 occasionally by gneiss, trap and 
 granite. Specimens of amethyst, 
 carnelian, jasper, &c, have been picked 
 up in various places. Coal is plentiful 
 and iron ore abundant ; the former is 
 said to extend over lo,000 square miles. 
 The Albert coal mine is the most val- 
 uable deposit of bituminous matter on 
 this continent. It produces 100 gallons 
 of crude oil per ton. Copper and 
 manganese also abound. A large de- 
 posit of the former has been dis- 
 covered on the banks of the Nepisiquit 
 river, which falls into Bathurst Bay, 
 and another of plumbago within half a 
 mile of St. John. The supply of the 
 latter is said to be inexhaustible. 
 Gypsum, limestone, freestone, and 
 grindstone abound. Salt springs, 
 strongly saturate), are numerous, ana 
 some sulphurous springs have been 
 discovered. 
 
 The climate of New Brunswick 
 is subject to great extremes of heat 
 and cold. The ranges of temper- 
 ature are : at St. John from 18 D below 
 to 88' above ; at Richibucto from 20° 
 below to 90° above ; and at Fredericton 
 from 24° below to 93^ abare. The 
 prevailing summer winds aie from the 
 W.S.W. and S. ; when from the S.W. 
 de ise fogs are often produced on the 
 Bay of Fimdy, and extend from 15 to 20 
 miles inland. The autumn is a season 
 of exceeding beauty, the air being dry 
 and clear, and the woods glowing with 
 innumerable tints of the richest and 
 most brilliant hues. 
 
 Of the soil and capabilities of New 
 Brunswick it is impossible to speak too 
 highly. There is not a country in the 
 world so beautifully wooded and water- 
 ed. A large portion of the surface is 
 covered with flense forests of pine, 
 hackmatac, spruce, cedar, &c, &c.

 which provide immense quantities of 
 timber both for export and shipbuild- 
 ing. All kinds of cereals and fruits 
 {except peaches) ripen perfectly and 
 are of excellent quality. The potatoes 
 raised in this province are the best 
 in the world. Turnips, peas, beans, 
 and other leguminous plants thrive 
 admirably. A most profitable crop 
 is grass, which occupies about four- 
 fifths of the land on every large farm. 
 Agriculture, however, has made but 
 slow progress, and the demand for food 
 is far beyond the supply raised on 
 the soil. The inhabitants generally 
 find it more profitable to follow the 
 lumbering business. The rivers, lakes 
 and sea coast of New Brunswick abound 
 with fish of almost every variety. In 
 Baie des Uhaleurs immense shoals are 
 seen, darkening the surface of the 
 water. The Bay of Fundy has long 
 been celebrated for its fisheries. The 
 yield from its waters in 1870 was val- 
 ued at $270,239. In 1871 there were 
 5,1G1 men employed in the New Bruns- 
 wick fisheries, and the total value of 
 fish caught was estimated at §1,185,033. 
 The salmon fisheries of New Brunswick 
 are amoig the finest in the world. 
 The Buctouche, Caraquette and Cocagne 
 oyster beds are as prolific as they 
 are famous, and the finest lobsters are 
 found in profusion. 
 
 Ship-building is extensively prosecut- 
 ed in the province, moreeapeciallyatSt. 
 John and on the Miramichi. Vessels 
 are also built at St. Andrews, at various 
 coves a id harbors on the Bay of Fundy, 
 along the banks of the St. John and 
 Petitcocliac; and at Cocagne, Richi- 
 bucto, Bathurst, Dalhousie, Campbell- 
 ton, and other ports on the north shore. 
 The total number of vessels built in 
 1871 was 108, with an aggregate bur- 
 then of 33,353 tons ; in 1872, 93 vessels 
 were built (tons 36,464.) 
 
 The principal articles manufactured 
 in New Brunswick are sawn lumber, 
 leather, cotton and woollen goods, 
 wooden ware of all descriptions, paper, 
 iron castings, nails, mill machinery, lo- 
 comotives, steam engines, &c. The 
 number of saw mills in the province 
 is very large. 
 
 The great extent of sea coast, with its 
 numerous bays and navigable rivers 
 flowing into them, furnish admirable 
 facilities for commerce. The principal 
 
 exports are fish, timber and lumber, 
 iron, coal, gypsum, shooks, hay, &c. 
 The chief imports arc wheat, flour, and 
 cornmeal, corn and other grain, salted 
 meats, coffee, sugar, tea, molasses, to- 
 bacco, woollen, cotton and silk manu- 
 factures, fruits, &c. The total value 
 of the imports for 1872 amounted to 
 89,364,652, of which $5,738,439 were 
 from Great Britain, and $2,599,811 from 
 the United States. The exports for the 
 same period amounted to $5,719,734. 
 The imports forSt. John alone amount- 
 ed to $7,354,099, and exports $3,650,181. 
 There are five railways in the 
 province, two ot which are under con- 
 struction—the Intercolonial and the Fre- 
 dericton and Riviere du Loup roads. 
 The Intercolonial (completed) runs 
 from St. John to Halifax, with branch 
 to Shediac. The head offices are at 
 Moncton, from which westward to 
 Trois Pistoles the building of the In- 
 tercolonial is being rapidly pushed 
 forward. The European and North 
 American railway (consolidated) runs 
 from St. John westward to the State of 
 Maine, connecting at Fredericton 
 Junction with the Fredericton Branch 
 railway, at McAdam with the New 
 Brunswick and Canada railway, and at 
 Bangor with the railway system of the 
 United States. It is intended that this 
 road shall form a connection with the 
 St. Francis and Lake Megantic Inter- 
 national railway, now in course of con- 
 struction from Sherbrooke eastward. 
 When this road is built the distance by 
 rail, between Montreal and St. John, 
 will be reduced to 430 miles. (By 
 the Intercolonial the distance is 763 
 miles). The New Brunswick and Can- 
 ada railway (the oldest railway in the 
 province) proceeds from St. Andrews 
 to Woodstock, with branches to St. 
 Stephen, and Houlton, Me. At Wood- 
 stock it connects with a branch of the 
 Riv. du Loup railway. This line is run- 
 ning between Fredericton and Wood- 
 stock and Hartland. From the latter 
 place it is being built to Riv. du Loup. 
 Telegraph wires connect New 
 Brunswick with the United States and 
 the western provinces of the Dominion 
 on the one hand; and with Nova 
 Scotia, Prince Edward Island, New- 
 foundland and Europe on the other.

 New Brunswick devotes annually rut 
 of the Provincial revenue $120,000 
 to educational objects. The educational 
 institutions supported by law are a 
 Provincial University, a Training or 
 Normal school for teachers ami a 
 system of common schools ranging fr<>m 
 the primary to the grammar or high 
 school department The common 
 6cliools are/ree to all being supported 
 from the Provincial revenue, and by rate 
 upon the entire property ot the country. 
 
 The chief partof the inhabitants are 
 emigrants from Great Britain, and their 
 descendants. There are a number of 
 French Acadians, settled chiefly in the 
 counties on the north shore and in the 
 valley of the Madawaska, and there are 
 also a small number of Micinacs, Meli- 
 
 cites, and other Indians in the northern 
 part of the province, and ou the St. John 
 river The number of Iudiau3 in New 
 Bin lswick in 1871 was 1,403. 
 
 The affairs of the province are ad- 
 ministered by a Lieutenant Governor, 
 aided by an Executive Council of 9 
 members a Legislative Council of 18 
 members, appointed for life, and a House 
 of Assembly of 41 representatives, 
 elected every 4 years. The judicial 
 department comprises a Supreme Court, 
 with a chief and 4 puisne jndges having 
 Law and Equity jurisdiction; one of 
 Marriage and Divorce a Vict Admiralty 
 Court, and a County Court for each 
 county in the Province The provincial 
 legislature meets at Fredericton. 
 
 New Brunswick was first settled by 
 the French in 1G39 It continued to 
 form part, with Nova Scotia, of Acadia, 
 or New France, till it fell into the 
 bands of the British, aft n r the conquest 
 of Quebec The first British settlers m 
 the province emigrated from Scotland 
 to the Miramichi in 1764; and in 1784, 
 N'.-w Brunswick was separated from 
 N iva Scotia and erected into a sepa- 
 rate province. In 1825. the standing 
 t'mber in the district around Miiamichi 
 B ty took fire, and enveloped an area of 
 6,000 square miles i.i flames, consuming 
 two thriving towns, many large vessels 
 lying in Miramichi river and destroying 
 500 "human beings. In 1867, this pro- 
 vince united with Ontario, Quebec and 
 Nova Scotia in forming the Canadian 
 Confederation, and is the fourth largest 
 Province, as regards population in the 
 Dominion.

 Ocean, at the mouth of the Gulf of 
 St. Lawrence, between lat. 46° 38' 
 and 51° 40' N , and Ion. 52° 35' and 
 59' 35' W. It is separated on the N W 
 from Canada by the Gulf; its S.W 
 point approaches Cape Breton ; N. and 
 N.E. are the shores of Labrador, from 
 which it is divided by the Straits of 
 Bellcisle ; and on its eastern side 
 expands the open ocean. It lies nearer 
 to Europe than any part of America, 
 It is about 1,200 miles in circumference ; 
 its width, at the very widest part, 
 between Capes Ray and Bonavista, is 
 about300 miles; and its extreme length, 
 from Cape Race to Griguet Bay, about 
 419 mUes, measured on a curve. Its 
 form is somewhat triangular, but 
 exceedingly irregular, owing to its 
 being indented with deep bays, the 
 most remarkable of which are Hare, 
 White, and Notre Dame Bays, Ray of 
 Exploits, Bonavista, Trinity, and Con- 
 
 ception Bays on the E. coast ; St. Mary's 
 Bay, Fortune and Placentia Bay, on the 
 S. coast ; and St. George's Bay and Bay 
 of Islands on the W. There are besides 
 these smaller bays and harbors. Many 
 of these are extensive, commodious and 
 well sheltered, with numerous rivulets 
 running into them, while most of the 
 harbors have complete anchorages, 
 with clear and good channels. 
 
 The interior of the Island has never 
 been thoroughly explored, but from the 
 reports of Mr. Murray, the geologist, 
 who has been for many years past and 
 is still engaged in its exploration, there 
 is reason to believe that its resources, 
 both agricultural and mineral, are of 
 very considerable hiiportance. The 
 greater portion, however, appears to be 
 rocky, with numerous tracts of moss, 
 much intersected by rivers and lakes, 
 and but thinly wooded, except on the 
 banks of the rivers. Great boulders, 
 or loose rocks, scattered over the 
 country, increase its general rough- 
 ness. Hills and valleys continually 
 succeed each other, the former never 
 rising into mountains (the highest not 
 exceeding 1,500 feet) and the latter 
 rarely expanding into plains. The 
 " barrens " ( f Newfoundland are those 
 districts which occupy the summits of 
 the hills and ridges, and other elevated 
 and exposed tracts. They are covered 
 with a thin and scrubby vegetation, 
 consisting of ben-y -bearing plants and 
 dwarf bushes, of various kinds. Bare 
 patches of gravel and boulders, and 
 crumbling fragments of rock, are fre- 
 quently met with on the " bnrrens," 
 which are generally destitute of vege- 
 table soil The sea cliffs are, for the 
 most part, bold and lofty, with deep 
 water close to the shore. 
 
 The rivers of Newfoundland are nu- 
 merous, and though the majority are 
 small, yet some attain to respectable 
 size. The largest are the Humber, 
 River of Exploits, Gambo and Great 
 Cod Roy rivers. The Humber, in its 
 main branch, is about 80 miles long — in 
 its second, or Grand Pond branch, it is 
 about 48 miles long. The Exploits is 
 about 150 miles long, and drain3 
 about 3.000 square miles of country. 
 The Gander is somewhat over 100 
 miles long. Nearly all the rivers 
 issue from lakes or ponds in the

 excellent salmon. Fresh water lakes 
 and ponds are also numerous. They are 
 found over the face of the entire 
 country — on the very tops of hills. T'ee 
 surface covered 'with fresh water has 
 been estimated at one third of the whole 
 Island. 67 ponds have been counted 
 from one spot on the N. E. mountains 
 of Avalon, some two and three miles 
 in extent, none less than 100 yards, and 
 not at a farther distance than ten miles 
 from the base of the bill. The prin- 
 cipal lakes in -he Island are the Gander 
 Pond, Deer Pond, Grand Pond and Red 
 Indian Pond. The Grand Pond contains 
 an area of about 185 square miles ; this 
 includes an island at its south west 
 end, which contains an area of about 
 50 square miles. Deer Pond has an 
 area of about 30 square miles. The 
 Red Indian Pond has an area of 01 
 square miles. The Gander Pond is sup- 
 posed to be of large extent, but has 
 not yet been measured. 
 
 The prevalent formation of New- 
 foundland is granite, and in some parts 
 porphyi y, quartz, gneiss, mica and clay- 
 slate, with secondary and, over a con- 
 siderable area, carboniferous forma- 
 tions. The minerals of the Island com- 
 prise silver, copper, lead, chromic iron, 
 magnetic iron, specular iron, manganese, 
 nickel, plumbago, gypsum, serpentine, 
 jaspers, white and black marble, lime- 
 stone and goal. Traces of gold have 
 also been found by analysis, as well 
 as traces of cadmium a id bismuth. 
 
 The principal mines are, the Tilt Cove 
 Mine (cooper), the Notre Dame Mine 
 (copper), both on the eastern side of 
 the Island ; and the La Manche Mine 
 (lead), on the southern coast. The first 
 name' I has been very productive. The 
 other two have not been so successf.il, 
 though there is i o doubt they are rch in 
 minerals; the cause of their compara- 
 tive failure is to be found in th • lack 
 of means or energy, or both, in their ] ro- 
 prietors. The La Manche Mine has 
 exchanged proprietary Companies thive 
 several times. The works were com- 
 menced i i 1 J57 by Messrs. Ripley & 
 Co., and by them were excavated about 
 537 cubic fathoms, yielding 1.800 tons 
 of ore, that is, an average of 3-4 tons 
 to the enbic fathom. The nevt Com- 
 pany, called ihe Placntia Bay Co., 
 excavated about 379 fathoms, which 
 gave 450 tons of ore, or 1-18 per fathom. 
 
 The present Company, called the La 
 Manche Mining Company, between 
 January and June, in 1807, made but 
 an average of 1.560 pounds to the cubic 
 fathom, or little over k a to l. The 
 tsutal amount raised up to 1808 was 
 about 2,j50 tons of ore. Since then 
 bit little has been done. There have 
 b ■>■ i a good many licenses of search 
 taken out these years back, but no work 
 of any importance has been commenced. 
 
 The climate, being insular, is not 
 liable to so great changes in tempera- 
 t ire as that of the neighbouring con- 
 tinental Provinces, the winter being 
 much milder and the summer not 
 nearly so warm. The average tempe- 
 rature of February, the coldest month, 
 is 22°, of July, the hottest, 60°, and of 
 the year 40 J . Ttie winter lasts from 
 December till Aprils The summer 
 is short and warm. In May and be- 
 ginning of June dense fogs prevail on 
 the Banks and neighboring shores, 
 but they do not appear to be in the 
 least prejudicial to health. 
 
 The principal trees of Newfound- 
 land are spruce, birch, larch, willow, 
 ash and fir; but they do not attain to 
 a large s'ze. Recumbent and standing 
 evergreens are to be met in great va ie- 
 ty ; berry-growmg bushes abound in 
 every swamp. European and American 
 grasses, also red and white clover, are 
 abundant. 
 
 In several sections of the Island 
 agriculture can be earned on 
 with profit. In the ne'ghborhood of 
 in my of the lakes and rivers there are 
 valuable alluvia. Potatoes yield well 
 aid are of excellent quality; green 
 crops thrive well ii many districts. 
 Wheat has been known to yield 30 bush- 
 els per acre. Apples, plums and cherries 
 have been raised with success ; goose- 
 berries, strawberries, and raspberries, 
 of very good quality, are grown. 
 
 Tlie timber lands, amou .ting 'o near- 
 ly one million of acres, and situated 
 principally on the western side of the 
 Island, and by the chief lakes and rivers, 
 are wholly unsettled, and ungranted, 
 though they are of high importance 
 with a view' to settlemen'. What may 
 be the extent and nature of the lands 
 of the interior it is impossible to say, as 
 they have never been surveyed. No 
 lands are let for lumbering purposes — 
 the laws provide that they shall be dis-
 
 NEW

 posed of for settlement alone. With 
 the exception of the grant to the New 
 York, Newfoundland and London 
 Telegraph Company, which consists 
 of one hundred squa\e miles, in blocks 
 of three miles each, no land has been 
 given to any purchasers in quantities 
 exceeding 200 acres, save in very few 
 in-tances. 
 
 The only animal peculiar to the Island 
 is the Newfoundland dog, famous the 
 world over. Among the wild animals 
 may be enumerated ihe deer, the wolf, 
 the bear, the beaver, the martei and 
 wild cat. Land aid aquatic birds are 
 numerous. Seals are numerous o 1 tha 
 coasts, as are also whales, grampuses 
 and porpoises; while for fish there is 
 no place in the world comparable to 
 Newfoundland, especially for cod. The 
 famous Grand Banks swarm with cod 
 and every other variety offish. These 
 banks form the most extensive sub- 
 marine elevation on the face of the 
 globe ; in their full extent they occupy 
 6 3 of 1 ui., and nearly 10 D of lat., 
 bei igover Ola miles in lengih and 200 
 miles iii breadth, with adepih of wa'er 
 varying from 10 to L 60 fathoms. Toe 
 mean depth is estimated at 40 fathoms. 
 The pr -sedition of the fi diery o i the 
 Grand Bank 5 has of late'yearsb^en left 
 exclusively in the hands of foreigner-, 
 prineipallv French, whilst the shore 
 fishery, which, with less risk, is more 
 convenient, is depended upon by the 
 fishermen of the Island for their 
 supp irt. The col fishery ooens in 
 June an 11a-- i till Lhe middle of Novem- 
 ber, and may be said to form the c'.ii f 
 occupa ion of the inhabitants of the 
 Island. The seal fishery is next in im- 
 portance. In 1 372, 133 vessels, with an 
 e it • b irthen of 29,793 tons, and 
 manued by9,49 ! men, ware engaged in 
 this fi-hery. The sailing fi set of 
 Newfoundland n iw includ !S 20 steam 
 . 5,7 9 t ns, carrying 3,511 men.

 T'ie Government of Newfoundland 
 pays $120*000 auniaily for tha steam 
 service of the colony. The steamers 
 subsidized are the All in Line to and 
 from Liverpool and Hal fax, or some 
 port ia the Dominion or United S ates, 
 o ice a fortnight; 1 steamer once a 
 fortnight from St. J din's northward ; 1 
 steamer once a fortnight from St. 
 John's westward ; 1 from St. John's 
 to Conception Bay; 1 t*> coivey the 
 Judges o i Circuit all over the Island, 
 an 1 I on the Labrador c >ast, running 
 once a fortnight along the s i >re from 
 south to north and vise i - ■■ ;a, giving 
 information to ihe fisherman where 
 th ■ li sli is most ab aid or 
 
 Tire public alia rs of Newfoundland 
 are administered by a G ivjriKK, an 
 Executive Council of 6 numbers, a 
 L sgislative Council of 13 members,and 
 a LegislativeAssemblyof 31 representa- 
 tives. The judicial department com- 
 prises a Supreme Court, with a Chief 
 an 1 two assistant jndges; a Vice Ad- 
 miralty Court, and a District Court. 
 
 The public school syst-ra is based on 
 the denominational principle as regards 
 Roman Catholics, and the non-denom 
 inational as far as Protestants general-
 
 NEW 
 
 217 
 
 NEW 
 
 ly are concerned. The Church of Eng- 
 land Protestants are dissatisfied with 
 the system, and desire a separation 
 from all the other Protestant de.iomi- 
 natLons, so as to be placed in the same 
 position, as 10 public education, as the 
 Roman Catholics ; from this view, 
 however, all the other Protestant de- 
 nominations dissent. In consonance 
 with this state of things there are two 
 general inspectors of elementary or 
 board school •=, one a Pi otestam, the other 
 a Roman Catholic. The last printed 
 reports of these inspectors are for 1871. 
 The number of Protestant schools then 
 in operation (the number and attend- 
 ance have varied very little si ice) was 
 180,' with an attendance of 10,676 
 pupils. Of these schools, 133 were 
 elementary; 7 commercial; 20 Colonial 
 Church and School Society (partly sup- 
 ported by tlio local government); 12 
 Weslcyan School Society ; 2 Church of 
 England; and 1 Presbyterian Church. 
 The number of Roman C itholic schools 
 was 101, with an attendance of 5,411 
 pupils. There are besides these, 7 com- 
 mercial schools, with an attendance of 
 502 pupils ; and 13 co lvent schools, with 
 an attenda icj of 1,965 pupils. Th re 
 are four public academies, based on the 
 denominational principle, and all situa- 
 ted in the capital of the Isla id ; ons for 
 Romar Catholics, which is in connec- 
 tion with their Colleg • ; one for Church 
 of England Pr >testants, in c mncction 
 with their collegiate establishment; 
 one for Wesleyans; and on^ for Pro- 
 testants of all other denominations. 
 The last named ought not, perhaps, to 
 be denominational, inasmuch as it is 
 open to all ileuominations, though but 
 few, if any, of the denominations who 
 possess ac idemlc il i istitutioas of their 
 own have r'course to it. The town3 
 of Harbor Grace and C-.rbonear, have 
 each a gram nar scho d b -ides 1 ;e 
 commercial and elementary board 
 schools. 
 
 There are no railways on the Island 
 and to 'mean ; of communication a. not 
 the best. Two steamers m ike fort- 
 nightly trps to the principal places 
 nortli and south of St. John's; and 
 another run i daily between ports on 
 Conception Biy. Most of the other 
 
 E laces have to be reached by open sail 
 oat. 
 The inhabitants of Newfoundland 
 
 are principally the descendants of the 
 settlers from England and Ireland. 
 
 The Aboriginal inhabitants known 
 as Red India is have been extinct for 
 many years past. There are some Mic 
 Macs in the Island, but not many.

 Newfoundland is supposed to have 
 been discovered by N ,rthmen about 
 the year 10 0. It was re-dNcovcred 
 by Sir John Cabot and lis son Sebas- 
 tian on the 24th June, 1 197. A settle- 
 ment was subsequently firmed by some 
 Portuguese adventurers, who were in» 
 turn expelled by S r Francis Drake, in 
 the reign of Queen Elizabeth. After 
 this period numerous I ngl sh colonies 
 were established from lime to timo 
 along the eastern coast, and several
 
 NEW

 NEW 
 
 French along the southern, in the Bay 
 of Placentia. For a long series of years 
 the colony existed merely as a fishing 
 settlement, and was much disturbed by 
 the French, until, in 1713, it was de- 
 clared by the Treaty of Utrecht to 
 belong wholly to Great Britain, the 
 French reserving a right to fish on 
 certain parts of the coast; the rocky 
 islets of St. Pierre and Miquelon being 1 
 also assigned to them on conditiou 
 that they should not be used for mili- 
 tary purposes. The first Governor of 
 the Island was appointed in 1728, and 
 the first LegLslaive Assemblv met on 
 the first of January, 1733. The most 
 noteworthy town on the Island is 
 St. John's, the capital. It has tele- 
 graphic communication with Canada, 
 the United States and Europe, and the 
 most important places on the Island. 
 Newfoundland is the only portion of 
 British North America not yet incor- 
 porated in the Dominion of Canada.

 NEW WESTMINSTER, the former 
 capital of British Columbia, is beauti- 
 fully situated on the north bank of the 
 Eraser river, 85 miles from Victoria. 
 Lat. 49° 12 47 N., Ion. 122 53 W. The 
 town boasts of a very handsome Epis- 
 copal c' lurch (of stone) and the only 
 peal of bjlls on the coast, presented 
 some years ago b}- Miss Burdett Cotitts, 
 now Baroness in her own right. There 
 are also very neat churches in connec- 
 tion with the Roman Catholic, Presby- 
 terian and Methodist denominations. 
 The town also contains a telegraph 
 office, 2 newspaper offices, 1 d stillery, 
 1 grist mill, 3 saw mills, a public hospi- 
 tal, a mint and assay office, court 
 house, gaol, penitentiary, legislative 
 building, government house, savings 
 bank, a number of stores, dec. At pre- 
 sent the principal industry is salmon 
 fishing, of which immense numbers run 
 up the River Fraser. St-irgcon also of 
 fabulous size besides other kinds of 
 fish are caught in great abundance. 
 Magnificent trout are taken in various 
 small strea 3 in the neighborhood. 
 New Westminster was a prosperous 
 an 1 busj* place when it was the capital, 
 but since the removal of the government 
 to Victoria it has materially decreased 
 in business and population. Bat nothing 
 can deprive it of its magnificent site 
 and of its unequalled climate and 
 sc -nery. The steamers from Vancouver 
 I land make it their forwarding station 
 for all passengers and freight from 
 abroad ; and the river steamers make 
 it their headquarters, whence they con- 
 vey passengers aud freight to Yale, 
 100 miles distant, the head of naviga- 
 tion on the Fraser river, and supply the 
 demands of the whole of the interior. 
 Steamers run twice a Aveek between 
 New Westminster and Victoria. Bur- 
 rard Inlet, one of the finest harbors on 
 the Pacific coast, and spoken of as the 
 probable terminus of the Canada Pacific 
 railway, is only a few miles from New 
 Westminster.

 Deer and Wollaston. The Montreal 
 department included the country in 
 the neighborhood of Montreal, up the 
 Ottawa river, and along the north 
 shore of the St. Lawrence to Esqui- 
 maux Bay ; and the Columbia depart- 
 ment, comprehended all that immense 
 extent of country to the west of 
 the Rocky Mountains, now the 
 province of British Columbia. The 
 country on the E. side of Hudson's Bay, 
 forming the peninsula of Labrador, 
 was called East Main! ; that on the 
 south-west, New South Wales. 
 
 In 1870 the North West Territories 
 came into the possession of the Domi- 
 nion of Canada. Out of the Southern 
 department the province of Manitoba 
 was created. 
 
 The territories now outside Manitoba 
 and British Columbia are governed by 
 the Lieutenant Governor of Manitoba, 
 who is styled " Lieutenant Governor of 
 Manitoba and North West Territories," 
 and by a Council of 11 members. Fort 
 Garry is the seat of Government. 
 
 The North West Territories are water- 
 ed by numerous lakes and rivers. The 
 principal rivers are the Churchill, Nel- 
 son, Severn, Albany, Abbitibbi, East 
 Main, and Great Whale rivers, flowing 
 into Hudson's Bay; the Mackenzie, Cop- 
 permine, a id Great Fish rivers, flowing 
 into the Arctic Ocean; tie Saskatche- 
 wan, Assinnihoine and Red rivers, fall- 
 ing into Lake Winnipeg ; and the Cania- 
 puscaw (or Koksoak) and Natwakame 
 
 rivers, falling into Hudson's Straits. 
 The Mackenzie is one of the greatest 
 rivers in the world. It is 2,500 miles 
 long,andflows through a fertile and fine- 
 ly wooded country skirted by metalli- 
 ferous hills, and with coal measures 
 cropping out near the surface through- 
 out three fourths of the area drained by 
 it. According to the bestscomputation, 
 it drains an area of 443,000 square miles. 
 The Coppermine river is very rich in 
 copper ore and galena. The Saskat- 
 chewan, 1,300 miles long, and its tribu- 
 raries, drain an area of 363,000 square 
 miles. The principal lakes are the 
 Great Bear, Great Slave, Athabasca, 
 Winnipeg, Manitoba, Lake of the 
 Woods, W;niiiy>cgoos, Clear Water, 
 Nelson, Deer, Wollaston, North Lined, 
 Mistassini and Abbitibbi. Great Bear 
 Lake is 250 miles long and about as 
 wide. Great Slave Lake is 300 miles 
 long and 50 wide. Lake Athabasca is 
 200 miles long and 20 to 40 wide. Lake 
 Winnipeg is 280 miles long and 5 to 57 
 miles wide ; Lake of the Woods 75 
 miles long by 60 miles wide, and Lake 
 Mistassini about the size of Lake On- 
 tario. 
 
 The agricultural capabilities of at 
 least GoOjOOO square miles of the 
 North West Territories are very 
 {rreat. The fertile belt of the 
 Saskatchewan alone contains an area 
 of 64,400 square miles, in one continu- 
 ous strip 800 miles long, and, on an 
 average, 80 miles broad But the best 
 and largest wheat area is bcj'ond the 
 Saskatchewan, viz : the valleys of the 
 Athabasca ana Peace rivers to the very 
 western ( the Pacific) slope of the Rocky 
 Mountains, along the Peace River 
 pass to lat. GO' N., near the foot of 
 the Rocky Mountains, an area of lliree 
 hundred million acres beyond the sup- 
 posed limit of the fertile belt of the 
 North West. (Authorities on this point, 
 Archbishop Tache, Harmon and Mc- 
 Leod.) The Saskatchewan was for- 
 merly a wooded country, but successive 
 fires partially cleared it's f rest growth; 
 it, however, abounds with the most 
 beautiful herbage, aid generally pos- 
 sesses a deep a' d rich soil of vegetable 
 mould. This extraordinary belt, more/ 
 than one-third of which is at once 
 available for the purposes of the agri- 
 culturalist, is capable of sustaining a 
 population of 90,000,000. This region

 in winter is not more severe than that 
 experienced in Ontario ; and in the 
 western districts, which are removed 
 from the influence of the great lakes, 
 the spring commences about a month 
 earlier than on the shores of Lake 
 Superior, which is five degrees of lati- 
 tude farther to the south. The depth 
 of snow is never excessive ; while in 
 the richest tracts the natural pastur- 
 age is so abundant that horses and cattle 
 may be left to obtain their food during 
 the greater part of the winter: in fact 
 up even to lat. C6° N., (Dunvcgan on 
 the Pence River,) the horses winter out 
 the whole season. Travellers who have 
 visited this region describe it as magni- 
 ficent, and the late Sir George Simpson, 
 who had been for over thirty years Go- 
 vernor of the Hudson's Bay Company, 
 speaks of himself and fellow travellers, 
 "brushing the luxuriant grass with our 
 knees, and the hard ground of the 
 surface was beautifully diversified with 
 a variety of flowers, such as the rose 
 the hyacinth and the tiger lily ;" and 
 again he describes it as "a beautiful 
 country, with lofty hills, rolling prai- 
 ries, sylvan lakes, bright green sward, 
 uninterrupted profusion of rcses and 
 blue bells, softest vales and panoramas 
 of hanging copses." 
 
 The Mackenzie river country is well 
 wooi 1 ' (1, and the soil well adapted for 
 cultivation. 
 
 The rivers and lakes west of Lake 
 Superior are bordered by rich prairies 
 and luxuriant woods, and the splendid 
 stream, (Rainy river, 100 miles, long) 
 which empties Lac la Pluie into Lake 
 of th: Woods, is crowned in many 
 places with a plentiful growth of birch, 
 poplar, beech, elm and oak. Sir George 
 Simpson thus concludes his remarks on 
 this beautiful stream : "Is it too much 
 for the eye of philanthropy to discern 
 through the vista of futurity, this noble 
 stream, connecting as it does the fertile 
 shores of two spacious lakes, with 
 crowded steamboats on its bosom, and 
 populous towns on its borders?" 
 
 On Peace river groves of poplars and 
 pine woods in every shape vary the 
 scene, and their intervals arc enlivened 
 with vast herds of elks and buffaloes. 
 
 About ICO miles east of the Rocky 
 Mountains the great coal bed com- 
 mences. So far as has been ascertained 
 it is over 300 miles in width, and 
 
 e xtcnds continuously over 16 degrees 
 °f latitude, to the Arctic Ocean. The 
 ^ignite (or tertiary coal) formation is 
 still more extensively developed. At 
 the junction of the Mackenzie and Bear 
 Lake rivers, the formation is best ex- 
 posed ; it there consists of a series of 
 beds, the thickest of which exceed 
 three yards, separated by layers of 
 gravel and sand, alternating with a 
 fine-grained, friable sandstone, and 
 sometimes with thick beds ot clay, the 
 interposing laj-er being often dark, from 
 the dissemination of bituminous matter. 
 The coal, when recently extracted from 
 the led, is massive and most generally 
 si ows the woody structure distinctly. 
 Beds cf cral also crop up to the sur- 
 face on various parts of the Arctic 
 coast. 
 
 The Hudson's Eay Company were 
 chartered by King Charles II. in 
 1670. Since that period they have 
 used this country as hunting grounds 
 fn m which to obtain supplies of furs 
 for all markets in the world. There 
 are probably upwards of 20 different 
 kinds, the most valuable of which is 
 that of the black fox. The other arti- 
 cles of commerce are oils, dried and 
 salted fish, feathers, quills, and walrus 
 ivory. About 18,000 seals are annually 
 taken on the Labrador Peninsula. 
 
 The Canada Pacific railway will run 
 through the great Saskatchewan 
 country, crossing the Rocky Moun- 
 tains through the Yellow Head Pass, 
 and opening up one of the richest 
 countries on the globe. This railway 
 will be the great highway between 
 Oriental countries and Western 
 Europe. It will be 633 miles shorter 
 than the American Pacific railroad, the 
 distance from New Westminster to Mon- 
 treal being 2,730 miles, as against 3,363 
 miles from San Francisco to New York 
 city. On its construction depends the 
 rapid growth and prosperity of this 
 rich inheritance of the Dominion of 
 Canada, now peopled principally by 
 Indians but destined before many years 
 to become the liappy home of millions 
 of inhabitants.

 iN'OVA SUOTIA, (originally ACA- 
 DIA,) a province of the D )minion 
 of Canada, lyi :g between 43 ; ' 2."> and 
 47° N. lat., and between 53 1 40' and 
 GG° 25' W. Ion. It consists of a long, 
 narrow peninsula called Nova Scotia 
 proper, and the Island of Cape Breton, 
 which is separated from the mainland 
 by the Strait of Canso. It is bounded 
 N. by Northumberland Strait (which 
 separates it from Pri ice Edward Island) 
 and by the Gulf of St. Lawrence ; N.E., 
 S. and S.E., by the Atlantic Ocean ; W. 
 by the Bay of Fuudy ; and N. by 
 New Brunswick, with which it is con- 
 nected by an isthmus only 11 miles 
 wide, separating the Bay ofFundy from 
 Northumberland Strait. Greatest 
 length from S. W. to N. E., 350 mdes ; 
 greatest breadth, about 120 miles ; area 
 21,731 square miles, equal to 13,332,003 
 acres. 
 
 The country is beautifully varie- 
 gated by ranges of lofty hills and broad 
 valleys,both of whichrun longitudinally 
 through the province. Its Atlantic fron- 
 tier, for 5 to 10 miles inland, is com- 
 posed chiefly of a poor soil, though 
 rich in gold and other minerals. 
 The Cobequid range of mountains, 
 as they are called, run through the 
 interior of the Province. The summits of 
 a few of the conical mounts of this range 
 ascend 1,100 feet and are cultivable 
 nearly to their tops. On each side of 
 these mountains are two extensive 
 ranges of rich arable lands, where 
 agricultural operations are carried on 
 extensively and with profit. From Briar 
 Island, at the extremity of Digby Neck, 
 and Capes Split and Blomedon, a dis- 
 tance of 130 miles along the Bay of 
 Fundy, extends a ridge of mural "pre- 
 cipices,^ many places presenting over- 
 hanging masses of trap rocks from 100 
 to GOO feet in height. These frowning 
 crags, with their crowded forests of iir, 
 are first seen by the mariner in crossing
 
 NOV

 the Bay of Fundy ; their height serves 
 to protect the interior from the driving 
 fogs of the bay. Beyond this barrier 
 lies the rich and beautiful valley of the 
 An lapolis. 
 
 The south eastern coast of Nova 
 Scotia is remarkable for the number of 
 its capacious harbors, there being no 
 fewer thaa 12 ports capable of receiving 
 ships of the line, and 14 of sufficie.it 
 depth for merchantmen, between Hali- 
 fax and Cape Causa, a distance of not 
 more than 110 miles. There are also 
 some excellent harbors on the S. YV. 
 coast and on t'.ie X. side of the province. 
 The Island of Cape Breton is second 
 only to Nova Scotia proper in the num- 
 ber and capacity of its harbors. The 
 Big Bras d Or is one grand harbor, 
 while ai ound the coast and in the Strait 
 of Can vj t'.i -re are many fine harbors. 
 
 N >va Scotia is beautifully divers:.: ■ 1 
 wi h riv rs and lakes, c ivering an ar a 
 estimated at 3,000 square niiFs. The 
 t lake in Nova Scotia proper is 
 Lake Rossigaol, being twenty miles in 
 length; the next largest is Ship Harbor 
 Lake, 13 miles long; Grand Lak', dis- 
 chai ging its waters northward through 
 Sbubenacadie river to Cobeqnid Bay ; 
 and College Lake, in the eastern part 
 of the pe linsula. The lakes of Cape 
 Breton are much larger and more im- 
 portant. The principal of these, how- 
 ever, are inland seas, rather than lakes. 
 The great Bras d'Or Lake is a magnifi- 
 cent expanse of water, of great depth, 
 about 50 miles i i length, and abounding 
 with the best quality of fish. Of the 
 rivers of Nova Scotia 15 fl >w into Nor- 
 thumberland Strait; four into St. 
 George's Bay ; 17 into the Atlantic, and 
 24 into the Bay of Fun ly. The most 
 important are the Sbubenacadie, the 
 Avon a d the Annapolis, flowing into 
 the Bay of Fundy : the t. Mary's, Mus- 
 quodoboit, La Have and Liverpool, 
 flowing into the Atlantic. All the 
 rivers are, withfew exceptions, naviga- 
 ble for c asting ves cis f r distances 
 varying from two to twenty miles. The 
 most remarkable b >dy of water in the 
 province is Minas Basin, the cast arm of 
 the Bay of Fundy, pe ictrating GO miles 
 inland and terminating in Col) quid 
 Buy. Th • tides here rush in with -rent 
 impetuo ity, and form what is called 
 the bore. At the equinoxes (hey have 
 been known to rise from -1 i to 50 f ■ ■;. 
 
 while in Halifax harbor, on the opposite 
 'coast, the spring tides rise only from 6 
 to 8 feet. The other principal bays are 
 St. George's Bay and Chedabucto 
 Bay in the E., connected by the Gulf of 
 Canso; St. Mary's Bay and Townsend 
 Bay in the extreme west of the penin- 
 sula ; and Mahone and St. Margaret's 
 Bays on the S. coast. 
 
 The province of Nova Scotia is rich 
 in geological resources, all the racks 
 from the crystalline granites up to 
 the new sandstone series tieing here met 
 with. In the isthmus connecting the 
 peninsula to New Be unswick, the under- 
 lying rocks consist of gray, red, a .dbuff 
 coloied sandstones of the coal measures, 
 c mtaining innumerable seams of good 
 bituminous coal, many of which are of 
 sufficient mag litude to be profitably 
 worked. Lofty cliffs abutting upon the 
 sea c ast at the S nith Joggins present 
 the most beautiful sectional profiles 
 f the c j.il-bearing strata, with curious 
 f >ssil3, both of vegetable and animal 
 origin. Large trunks of trees, such as 
 are at present unknown in a living state, 
 are here seen at various points,standing 
 at right angles to the sandsto le strata. 
 Alternate beds of excellent bituminous 
 coal are seen cropping out along the 
 shore, and a company has for years 
 being working exte sive mines in one of 
 these coal beds. The rocks of this coal 
 formatio l also furnish a l abundance of 
 excellent material for building and for 
 grindsto ies. Large quantities of beau- 
 tiful and compact gray,buff colored and 
 blue sandstone, and an immense num- 
 ber of grindstones are annually exported 
 to the United States. Coal is elsewhere 
 found more abundantly in Pictou" co., 
 and on the Island of Cape Bre on. The 
 province possesses great resources in 
 gold and iron, aid in copper, Fad, sil- 
 ver, tin and other minera's. The gold 
 yield of Nova Scotia from the first 
 w irking of the mines in 1800 to the 
 close of 1872, is estimated at 237,000 
 ozs., valued at £948, 00 stg. Number 
 of mines opened in 1872, 35 Iron is al so 
 a sta le production, the business done 
 by a company at Londonderry being 
 extensive. Thequantity of oreon their 
 property is inexhaustible, and the 
 quality of iron manufactured is at least 
 eq al to the best Swedish. Manganese 
 is abundant,and gypsum is extensively 
 worked n ar Wind or and in Cape

 Breton. The slate hills furnish good . 
 roofing slates, and hones of a superior 
 quality are obtained in some of the 
 spates of the coal series. Beautiful 
 aga'es, amethysts, chalcedonies, jaspers, 
 cairngorms, and the entire group of 
 zeolite minerals abound in the amygda- 
 loid il trap along the Bay of Fuudy. 
 
 The climate of Nova Scotia is remark- 
 ably temperate considering its northern 
 latitude. The extreme of cold is 20° 
 below zero ; the extreme of heat 98 D 
 above, i.i the shade. The climate varies 
 considerably in the different counties. 
 The western counties average from 6 
 to 8 degrees warmer than the eastern. 
 In Annapolis county, for instance, the 
 mercury in the coldest winters rarely 
 falls below zero. The coldest season 
 is from thel ist week in December until 
 the first week of March. The springs 
 are ted ous, the summer heals being for 
 a brief season excessive ; vegetation is 
 singularly rapid, and the autumn is 
 delightful, uense fogs are at cer- 
 tain seasons prevalent along the 
 Atlantic coast. Wheat, rye, oats, 
 barley, buckwheat, Indian corn, 
 potatoes, turnips, mangel wurtzel, 
 tomatoes and other grains and roots 
 grow in abundance and perfection. 
 Apples, pears, plums, cherries and other 
 garden fruits attain the utmost perfec- 
 tion. In some sections of the country 
 peaches and grapes ripen in the open air. 
 The apple orchards of Annapolis and 
 King's counties are very productive, and 
 extend along the roadsides in an un- 
 broken line for 50 miles. 
 
 The manufactures of Nova Scotia are 
 yet but very limited. Coarse cloths, 
 called "homespuns" are made by the pea- 
 santry, and are generally worn by that 
 class. Coarse flannels, bed linen, blan- 
 kets, carpets and tweeds, are also ma m- 
 factured. Tanning is carried on to some 
 extent ; and in the towns and villages 
 boots, shoes, saddlery, harness, house- 
 hold furniture and agricultural imple- 
 ments are made in large quantities. In 
 the neighborhood of Halifax, tobacco, 
 printing and wrapping paper, machin- 
 ery, nails, pails, fuse, gunpowder, car- 
 riages, and some other articles are 
 manufactured. 
 
 The geographical position of Nova 
 Scotia is highly favorable to commer- 
 cial pursuits, and as thenaturalresources 
 becomemore fully developed there is no 
 
 doubt hcrcommerce will very largely in- 
 crease. The imports of the province for 
 1872 amounted to §12,433,747, of which 
 $5,113,204 were from England, and $3,- 
 090,501 from the United States. The 
 exports during the same period amount- 
 ed to $7,538,401. The largest portion 
 of the exports were drawn from the fish- 
 ing and mining interests. If we ex- 
 cept Newfoundland, Nova Scotia may 
 be said to possess the finest fisheries in 
 the world. There is no part of its coast 
 of 1,000 miles where a profitable fishery 
 may not be pursued. Its bays and 
 harbors, and inland lakes and rivers, 
 teem with salmon, cod, halibut, had- 
 dock, mackerel, herring, shad, lobsters, 
 &c. 'I he value offish caught in 1871 
 amounted to $5,101,030 ; number of 
 men employed in the fisheries, 20,313. 
 
 Shipbuilding is very extensively en- 
 gaged in inNova Scotia. In 187.!, 188 
 vessels were built, with an aggregate 
 burthen of 52,882 to is. 
 
 There are 306 miles of railway in 
 operation in the province. The Inter- 
 colonial proceeds from Halifax to 
 Amherst, 13S miles, and thence to St. 
 John, N.B. ; and from Truro to Pictou 
 52 miles. The Windsor and Annapolis 
 proce.-ds from Windsor Junction to 
 Annapolis, 116 miles. The extension 
 of the latter road to Yarmouth is 
 projected. Another line, to run from 
 New Glasgow to Louisburg, is also 
 proj eted. Louisbourg is one of the 
 finest harbors in the Island of Cape 
 Breton. It is open all the year round, 
 and admirably adapted as a winter port. 
 There are two canals in the pro- 
 vince — one from Halifax to Cobequid 
 Bay, and the other connecting St. 
 Peter's Bay, on the Atlantic coast' of 
 Cape Breton Island, with Bras d'Or 
 Lake ; length 2,300 feet. 
 
 The Electric Telegraph is established 
 all over the province, and extends 
 through all the other provinces. A 
 message may be sent from Halifax di- 
 rect to California, i he Atlantic Cable 
 gives Nova Scotia telegraphic commu- 
 nication with Europe. 
 
 The public affairs of the Province 
 are administered by a Lieutenant Gov- 
 ernor, an Executive Council of 9 mem- 
 bers, a Legislative Council of 21 mem- 
 bers, appointed for life, and a Legis- 
 lative Assembly of 33 members, 
 elected every four years. The laws

 are dispensed by a Supreme Court, 
 composed of a Chief and 'J assistant jus- 
 tices, a Court of Error, of Vice-Admi- 
 ralty, and of Marriage and Divorce. In 
 each county there is a Court of Probate, 
 which has control of the property of 
 deceased persons.

 Halifax is the chief city in Nova 
 Scotia. Fts harbor is the finest in 
 America, and protected by a fortress 
 armed with powerful batteries of three 
 and six hundred pounders Armstrong 
 rifled guns. Small towns and villages 
 are scattered over the province, which 
 are accessible from the most remote 
 districts by railway or steamboat, or 
 good carriage roads. 
 
 Education is free to the children of 
 all classes in Nova Scotia. There are 
 numerous public shooN and academies, 
 besides a normal and m ;dcl school, 
 several conve its, and 6 colleges, viz : 
 Dalhousie College and University, St. 
 Mary'fl College, (R.C.,) and the Presby- 
 terian College, Halifax; Acadia Col- 
 lege, (Baptist,) Wolfville ; St. Francis 
 College, (R.C .,) Antigonish; and King's 
 College and University, Windsor. The 
 latter, belonging to the Church of Eng- 
 land, was founded in 1787. 
 
 There are two Roman Catholic Dio- 
 ceses in the province — the Arch- 
 diocese of Halifax, and the diocese 
 of Arichat; and one Church of Eng- 
 land — Nova Scotia and Prince Edward 
 
 Island. The following table, taken

 Nova Scotia was first visited by John 
 Cabot and his son Sebastian in 1497, 
 but was not colonized by Europeans 
 until 1604, when De Monts, a French- 
 man, and liis followers, and some Je- 
 suits, attempted for 8 years to form 
 settlements in Port Royal, St. Croix, 
 &c, but were finally expelled from the 
 country by the English governor and 
 colonists of Virginia, who claimed 
 the country by right of the dis- 
 covery of the Cabots. In 1621, Sir 
 William Alexander applied for and 
 obtained from James I., a grant of the 
 whole country, which be proposed to 
 colonize on an extensive scale, and in 
 1623 the attempt was made ; but the 
 proposed colonists finding the various 
 points where they wished to establish 
 themselves thronged by foreign adven- 
 turers, did not think it prudent to at- 
 tempt a settlement, and therefore re- 
 turned to England. During the reign 
 of Charles I., the Nova Scotia baronets 
 were created, and their patents ratified 
 in Parliament; they were to contribute 
 their aid to the settlement, and to have 
 p rtions of land allotted to them ; their 
 number was not to exceed 150. In 
 1654,Cromwellsent an armed force and 
 took possession of the country, which 
 remained with the English till 1667, 
 when it was ceded to France by the 
 Treaty of Breda. But the English from 
 time to time attacked the French colo- 
 nists at various poi its, till 1713 when 
 the country was finally ceded to Eng- 
 land. In 1763 the Island of Cape Breton 
 was annexed to Nova Scotia. In 1784, 
 the province of New Brunswick was 
 created ; and in 1867, Nova Scotia be- 
 came a member of the Dominion of 
 Canada.

 ONTARIO, a province of the Domi- 
 nion of Canada, bounded on the 
 N.E. and E. by the province of 
 Quebec; on tin- S.E., S.S.W. and W. 
 by the River St. Lawrence and its great 
 lakes ; and on the N. W. and N. by the 
 North West Territories. Length from 
 S.E. to N.W. about 750 miles, and 
 from N.E. to S.W., about 500 miles. 
 Area, land and inland waters, 107,780 
 square statute miles, equal to t, 8,979,- 
 372 acres. Area of the Ontario frontier 
 waters of the St. Lawrence and its 
 large lakes about 27,094 square statute 
 miles, or 17,340.100 acres. 
 
 The surface of the country is gently 
 undulating, rather than mountainous, 
 and is diversified by rivers a id lakes. 
 The ridge of high land which enters 
 the province at Niagara Falls extends 
 to Hamilton, a'id is continu d to Owen 
 Sound, thence along the peninsula to 
 Cabot Head and through the Marii- 
 toulin Islands of Lake Huron. The 
 Laurentian hills run westward from the 
 Thousand Islands, near Kingston, and 
 "extend north of Lake Simcoe, forming 
 the coast of Georgian Bay and Like 
 Huron. A main water-shed separates 
 the waters of the Ottawa from tho-e of 
 the St. Lawrence ; a minor one divides 
 the streams flowing into Lake Simcoe, 
 Georgian Bay and Lake Huron, from 
 those flowing into Lakes Erie aid 
 Ontario. 
 
 The agricultural resources of the 
 country are very great. The fertile 
 belt extends over three-fourths of the 
 present inhabited parts, and a vast 
 area, in the hands of the Gover i- 
 me it, now open for settlement. Im- 
 mense c-ops of wheat are annually 
 rais d ; a] » oats, barley, Indian corn, 
 rye, potatoes, turnips, &c, &c. The 
 apple orchards of the south western 
 
 counties are very productive, and 
 pears, plums, grapes, cherries and 
 various kinds of berries thrive luxuri- 
 antly. The climate of Ontario is agree- 
 ably tempered by the proximity of the 
 great lakes. The winter is considerably 
 shorter and milder than that of Quebec. 
 
 The principal rivers of Ontario are the 
 tributaries of the Ottawa; the French, 
 the Maganetawan, the Severn, and the 
 Nottawasaga falling into Georgian 
 B iy ; the Saugeen, the Mai' land, and the 
 Aux Sables, falling into Lake Huron; 
 the Thames, running S.W. into Lake 
 St. Clair; the Grand, flowing S.E. into 
 Lake Erie; the Trent, in part of its 
 course called the Otonabee, and the 
 Moira, flowing S.E. into the Bay of 
 Quinte; and the Niagara, falling into 
 Lake Ontario. The mighty St. Law- 
 rence sweeps through the eastern 
 part of the province, from Kingston, 
 and the Ottawa forms part of its N.E. 
 boundary. The lakes of Ontario are 
 numerous and magnificent. The 
 largest are Lakes Superior, Huron, 
 Erie and Ontario. They cover an area 
 of 80,000 square miles, and contain 
 nearly half the fresh water on the 
 globe. The minor lakes are Nipigon, 
 Simcoe, Nipissing, and those in the 
 counties north of Lake Ontario, and 
 in the Ottawa and the St. Lawrence 
 rivers. The principal bays are the 
 Georgian, Nottawasaga, Owen Sound, 
 Long Point, Burlington and Quinte. 
 
 The mineral wealth of 'he country is 
 not surpassed, if indeed it be equalled, 
 by any other in variety and richness. 
 Iron is found in large quantities a short 
 distance hack of Lake Ontario, in the 
 country between Georgian Bay and 
 the Ottawa; also, in the same region, 
 copper, lead, plumbago, antimony, 
 arse he, manganese, gypsum, marble 
 of the finest quality, ami building 
 stone. Gold has also been found in 
 the same region, but not as yet in 
 quantities sufficient to pay well. On 
 the north shore of Lake Huron are 
 extensive mines of c >pper, and o i the 
 shores of Lake Superior, particularly 
 round Thunder Bay, are enormous sil- 
 ver deposits. Amethysts and agates 
 are also found there, as well as mica, 
 iron, gold, cobalt and bismuth. The 
 petroleum wells in the south westerly 
 part of the province are yielding im- 
 mense and apparently inexhaustible
 
 OXT 
 
 OXT 
 
 supplies, and so arc the salt Wl lis at 
 Godeiico and Kincardine. The article 
 is obtained by evaporating the brine, 
 and is exceedingly good for table use, 
 having been found, upon chemical 
 analysis, to be of almost perfect pu; it/. 
 Large peat beds exist in many paits 
 of the province. 
 
 The almost unlimited supply of water 
 power throughout Ontario affords un- 
 usual facilities for manufactures to 
 which that power is adapted, and in 
 consequence various descriptions of 
 industry are springing up in all direc- 
 tions ; steam power is also used to a large 
 extent. The principal articles manufac- 
 tured are cloth, linen, furniture, sawn 
 timber, flax, iron and hardware, paper, 
 soap, starch, hats, caps, boots, shoes, 
 leather, cotton and woollen goods, 
 steam engines and locomotives, sewing 
 machines, wooden ware of all descrip- 
 tions, agricultural implements, &c. 
 
 The settlements in Ontario have 
 hitherto been made somh of the 
 Laurentian range of hills, which was 
 thought to bound the lands fit for settle- 
 ment, but it has been discovered that 
 behind this ra lge there is another tract 
 of rich agricultural land, as level as the 
 St. Lawrence valley and timbered with 
 a heavy growth of mixed white pine and 
 hardwood. These lands are approach- 
 ed by the Northern, Midland, and 
 Toronto and Xi pissing railways on 
 the one hand, and the upper Ottawa 
 on the other. They have the basin of 
 Lake Nipissing and the water shed of 
 the Ottawa for their drainage. Their 
 waters are in part navigable, and the 
 rest can be made so. Settlement has 
 already commenced to enter rapidly 
 into this new district, considerable 
 tracts of which have been set aside as 
 free grants to settlers. 
 
 The railway system has made rapid, 
 strides in Ontario during the past 20 
 years. I 1 1852 there was not a single 
 mile in the whole province. In 1873, 
 there were 2G78 miles in operation, viz : 
 Grand l'runk, 804 miles; Great Western 
 and branches, 455 miles ; Canada South- 
 ern, 327 miles; Toronto, Gr y and Bruce, 
 215 miles; Northern, 143 miles; Mid- 
 land, 109 miles ; Brockville and Of awn, 
 89 miles ; St. Lawrence and Ottawa, 
 54 miles ; Lordon and Port Stanley, 24 
 miles ; Welland, 25 miles ; Canada 
 Central, 28 miles; Cobonrg, Peterboro' 
 
 and Marmora, 25 miles ; Wellington, 
 Givy and Bruce, 195 miles ; Toronto and 
 Nipissing, 88 miles; Hamilton and Lake 
 Erie, 35miles; Kingston and Pembroke, 
 
 18 miles ; and Whitby and Port Perry, 
 
 19 miles. The following roads were 
 chartered, and some of them arc in 
 course of construction : Ontario and 
 Quebec,— mils ; Kingston and Pem- 
 broke, 140 miles; London, Huron and 
 Bruce, 105 miles; Brantford aud Port 
 Burwell, 45 miles; and the Canada 
 Pacific, 2,500 miles ; GOO or 700 miles of 
 which will be in this province. 
 
 There are several canals in Ontario. 
 The Welland, between Lakes Erie and 
 Ontario, to avoid the Niagara Falls ; 
 the Rideau, between Kingston and 
 Ottawa; and the St. Lawrence canals, 
 rendered necessary by the rapids of 
 that river. Two others have been for 
 some time contemplated, but their 
 construction is doubtful, one to connect 
 Georgian Bay with Lake Ontario; 
 the other to connect Georgian Bay 
 with the Ottawa river. 
 
 The school system of Ontario is 
 admirable. It affords the children of 
 the rich and poor alike the means of 
 free education. It is under the co ttrol 
 of a Chief Superintendent, and ex ends 
 over the whole province. The schools 
 are supported by a tax on property, with 
 some assistance from the Legislature, 
 and are free to all. Each Towns ip is 
 divided into school sections, with a 
 Board of School Trustees, composed of 
 3 persons, to each section. This Board 
 employs the teacher and controls the 
 school. There are 53 inspectors of 
 schools for the entire province, but no 
 Inspec t or has the supervision of more 
 tha t 120 or less than 50 schools. They 
 are paid partly by the Council and part- 
 ly by the Government. These gentle- 
 men visit their respective schools twice 
 a year, examine into the state of educa- 
 tional matters and semi an elaborate 
 Report to the Chief Superintendent of 
 the result of their inspection, and the 
 exact standing of the sch ols. Roman 
 Catholic smay, if they think proper, 
 establish separate schools, and are in 
 such cases exempted from supporting 
 public schools, and receive a separate 
 grant from the G >vernment. In 1872 
 there were 4,593 public schools, (of 
 which 160 were Roman Catholic sepa- 
 rate schools,) with 446,326 pupils

 expended in their support was $1,814,- 
 821. The School Actof 1871 has given 
 an immense impetus to public school 
 education, and it is confidently be- 
 lieved that the year immediately fol- 
 lowi lg it; passage will show a much 
 greater increase in educational statis- 
 tics than has yet been known The 
 high (formerly grammar) schools of 
 Ontario number 102, with 7,490 pupils. 
 They are pr ncipally confined to cities, 
 towns and villages. Pupils enter them 
 from the public schools* and thence to 
 college and the university. The Nor- 
 mal Scho 1 at Toronto is designed to 
 perfect teachers in their profession, and 
 to show them the best method of teach- 
 ing. Upwards of 300 young men and 
 women attenditannually. The system 
 of Teacher's Certificate is as follows: 
 There is a Central Board of Examiners 
 at Toronto, which issues 1st class 
 certificates alone. Each County has a 
 local Board of Examiners for the grant- 
 ing of 2nd and 3rd class certificates. 
 There ate two examinations per annum, 
 the pape-s being got up by the Central 
 Board and sent sealed up to the local 
 Boards. Any candidate who fancies 
 justice has not been done to him may 
 appeal to the Education Department. Of 
 late years the status of teaching quali- 
 fications has greatly increased. There 
 are 17 Protestant universities and 
 colleges, aid 3 Roman Catholic c al- 
 leges in Ontario. Private schools are 
 few, and generally in cities avid large 
 towns. The total number of Educa- 
 tional Institutions in Ontario_, in 1872, 
 was 5,004, with 403,05" pupils, and a 
 total amount available for educational 
 purp scs of $2,029,570. 
 
 The, municipal system of Ontario is 
 among the most perfect in the world. 
 All religions are free without State pre- 
 ference. 
 
 There are numerous public institu- 
 tions t roughout the province, chiefly 
 under control of the Government. Of 
 these are the Lunatic Asylums at King- 
 ston, Toronto, London, Amherstburg 
 and Orillia; the Reformatory Pri-o l at 
 Pcnetang lishene; the Asylum for the 
 Blind atBrantford ; the Deaf and Dumb 
 Asylum at Belleville ; the Normal 
 School, University College, and Osgoode 
 Hall, Toronto. Other public buildings 
 are in course of constt'iictioti. 
 
 The public affairs of the province 
 are administered by a Lieutenant Gov- 
 ernor, an Executive Council of 5 mem- 
 bers, and a Legislative Assembly ot 88 
 members, elected every 4 year . 
 
 The laws and the mode of administer- 
 ing them are mainly the same as in Eng- 
 land, the practice, however, is simpler 
 and far less expensive. The Courts are 
 the Queen's Bench, Common Pleas and 
 Chancery, each presided over by a 
 Child' Justice and two assistants, and a 
 Court of Error and Appeal, co nposed 
 of a President and the Judges of 
 Superior Courts of Law and Equity. In 
 each county there is a County Court, 
 presided over by a County Judge. The 
 Judges of the Superior Court (who are 
 all appointed by the Dominion Govern- 
 ment) go circuit to each county through- 
 out the province twice a year, to hold 
 assizes for th • trial of civil and criminal 
 ca es. The judges of the Court of 
 Chancery also hold their courts in 
 various counties as well as at Os^oode 
 Hall.

 number,viz : Toronto, Western Toronto, 
 Ontario, Huron and Algoma. The 
 Roman Catholic dioceses are five in 
 number, viz : the archdiocese of Tor- 
 onto, and the dioceses of Ottawa, 
 Kingston, Hamilton and London. Ac-

 The largest, and in every respect the 
 most important, city is Toronto, the 
 capital of Ontario. This city has a pop- 
 ulation of over 5(J,090 ; it is well situated 
 on Lake Ontario, very handsomely built, 
 and contains a large number of fine 
 buildings. Ottawa is the capital of the 
 Dominion, and is beautifully situated on 
 
 the river of the same name. It contains 
 the Parliament Buildings, ohe of the 
 noblest structures on the America 1 con- 
 tinent. Kingston is a well built and 
 fortified city, beautifully situaiedat the 
 outlet of Lake Ontario. Hamilton is a 
 fin ■ commercial city, at the hoar] of navi- 
 gation on Lake Ontario. L indon is a 
 handsome inland ci y, in the centre of 
 the western peninsula. 
 
 According to late returns, the total 
 value of the imports of the province 
 from all foreign countries in 1872 
 amounted to $37,523,354, of which $16,- 
 258,934 were from Great Bruain, and 
 $19,551,778 from the United States. The 
 exports for the same period amounted to 
 $25,560,410. The imports for Toronto 
 alone amounted to $13,098,133. The 
 fisheries of Ontario yielded, in 1871, 
 28,560j| brls., valued at $185j074. 
 
 The province of O.i tariocontains many 
 objects of interest to the tourist. Not to 
 speak of its beautiful ci ties, theThousand 
 Islands of the St. Lawrence, and the 
 unrivalled scenery on the Great Lakes, 
 there are the world-renowned Falls of 
 Niagara, a never failintrsource of attrac- 
 tion, and the Falls of Kakabikki. on the 
 River Kami nstiquia, 30 miles from its 
 outlet into the head of Like Superior. 
 The scenery surrounding this fall, 
 although less extensive, vies i"i grandeur 
 and sublimity with that of Niagara. In 
 beholding it, the spectator is ins. ired 
 with equal awe, the principal features 
 are equally striking, while the deep in- 
 tonation is more sensible than that of 
 its rival, and has a nearer resemblance 
 to the roar of distant thunder and the 
 rumblings of an earthquake. 
 
 The existence of Upper Canada as 
 a distinct province can be dated only 
 from the year 1791, previous to which 
 it formed part of the old Province of 
 Quebec Major General J. G. Simcoe 
 was the first Lieutenant Governor 
 appointed, and the first Parliament 
 met at Niagara on September 17, 1792. 
 In 1820, dissensions of a political nature 
 arose in Lower Canada, which went 
 on increasing in intensit^v year by year, 
 deepened by the national prejudice of 
 the French and English colonists to 
 each other, until, in 1834, it extended to 
 Upper Canada, and finally terminated 
 in insurrections in both provinces in 
 1837. These were, however, quickly 
 suppressed. The result of these pro-
 
 ONT 
 
 238 
 
 ONT 
 
 ceedings was the reuniting of the 
 provinces, which took place in 1840. 
 In 1867, under the Act of Confede- 
 ration, Upper Canada was er cted 
 a province, under the name of Ontario. 
 It is the most populous province n the 
 Dominion, having a population, accord- 
 ing to the census of 1371, of 1,020,851. 
 Tne Indians in Ontario, as far as 
 known, number about 13,000. 
 
 A work was published in 18G3, en- 
 titled " Eighty Years' Progress of 
 British North America," in which an 
 exceedingly interesting article from the 
 pen of T. 0. Keefer, C.E., describes in 
 lively and animated language the 
 aspect Upper Canada presented in 1777, 
 only 14 years before it was erected into 
 a Province. "Upper Canada was at 
 that period in possession of the 
 Northern Iroquois, a confederation of 
 the most warlike of the native tribes ; 
 and there are those yet living who 
 remember when — save the few families 
 around the prec nets of the old French 
 forts — not a white man could be found 
 over all the vast area of Canada West. 
 Toronto was then an Indian village, 
 whose warriors speared the salt water 
 salmon in her harbor, or chased the 
 deer through the county of York ; 
 and their squaws then paddled Cannes 
 among the rice beds of the smaller 
 lakes, and threshed out the wild grai is 
 over the g nwales of their canoes. 
 In the Western peninsula the noble 
 elk herded upon the prairies of St. 
 Clair, or roamed over the oak forests, 
 untroubled b} r the sound of the settler's 
 axe, and swam the waters where paddle 
 and screw, barque and brig now plow 
 their busy way. Myriads of wild 
 pigeons from the South annually in- 
 vaded the beech woods and bore down 
 the branches by their weight ; thou- 
 sands of black squirrels from the East 
 swam the broad Niagara, and march- 
 ed westward in extended line ; while 
 flocks of gorgeously clad turkeys and 
 plump breasted quails stalked solemnly 
 along the wild pathways of the forest, 
 undisturbed by the hoarse roar of the 
 locomotive. In every narrow valley and 
 upon every living streamlet the labo- 
 rious beavers arrested the rich alluvion 
 and prepared rich meadows for the 
 flocks and herds of the red man's suc- 
 cessors. The hunter and the hunted 
 have exterminated each other." 
 
 An erroneous impression prevails, not 
 only on the continent of Europe, but in 
 Great Britain, that the British North 
 America.i Colonies recently confeder- 
 ated have been completely eclipsed in 
 growth of population and material re- 
 sources by other communities similarly 
 circumstanced; nevertheless it cat be 
 demonstrated with almost the accuracy 
 of a mathematical problem that in then- 
 aggregate character these colonies have 
 maintained the highest standard of 
 progress, while in one instance, that of 
 the Province of Ontario, historical re- 
 cords and census returns can be addu- 
 ced to prove beyond contradiction that 
 she has kept pace with the most am- 
 bitious and successful of her competi- 
 tors, and can compare favorably with 
 the most prosperous States in the 
 American Union. 
 
 A statist who draws his inferences 
 from ace imulated data, finds himself 
 fortified in his conclusions when depict- 
 ing a country in the possession of a 
 salubrious climate and a grateful soil — 
 inhabited by a population industrious 
 and enterprising, proud of their colon- 
 ial connection, ueeding no army for 
 their protection, only asking time and 
 opportunity to conquer the wilderness, 
 and with a firm belief in their glorious 
 destiny. He takes up their statistical re- 
 turns and finds that Ontario has grown 
 from 120,000 in 1851 to 1,620,851 in 1871, 
 thus repeating herself twelve times in 
 fifty years; and looking into the future, 
 sees no obstacle to prevent her attain- 
 ing a population of ten millions before 
 the close of another century. 
 
 This anticipation is not extravagant, 
 because it is based on the assumption of 
 an annual increase of two per cent., 
 whereas the results for the two last 
 decades exceed that ratio, as the follow- 
 ing figures demonstrate : 
 
 Population in 1851 , 952,004 
 
 " " 1861 1,396,095 
 
 " " 1871 1,620,851 
 
 Whereas, had the increase of popula- 
 tion been restricted to 2 percent, per an- 
 num, the figures would then have been : 
 
 Population in 1851 952 004 
 
 " " 1861 1,132,404 
 
 " " 1871 1,370,884 
 
 Thus while according to the census the 
 actual population in 1871 was 1,620,851, 
 yet had the increase been but 2 per cent.
 
 ONT

 ONT 
 
 per annum, the return should have been 
 249,967 less. 
 
 Mnety one years ago the entire popu- 
 lation or Upper Canada did not exceed 
 10,000 inhabitants. 
 
 There are unmistakable signs that 
 a prolonged period of unexampled pros- 
 perity is dawning on Ontario, and it 
 may fairly be assumed that her growth 
 and population must for several decen- 
 nial stages equal, if not exceed, those 
 recorded in the past. Amongst other 
 reasons for arriving at these conclusions 
 the following are suggestive : The mi- 
 gration of the native born from Ontario 
 has almost ceased, while numbers of 
 American citize.is, farmers, manufac- 
 turers, miners, or lumber merchants are 
 making that province their home. 
 Emigration from the European con- 
 tinent and Great Britain is encourag d 
 by reduced rates of passage money and 
 free grants of 100 acres to actual settlers. 
 The Leg.slature moreover votes lar^e 
 funds for the construction of national 
 colonization roads, extending into the, 
 unoccupied public domain. Railways 
 liberally subsidized, either under con- 
 struction or projected, and intersecting 
 every district, connect every section of 
 the province with that great railway 
 artery of the Dominion, the Grand 
 Trunk, thus affording facilities for the 
 conveyance of emigra its to public 
 lands, enhancing the value of farm pro- 
 duce and real estate, and calling into 
 activity long dormant manufacturing 
 and mining industries. 
 
 The financial statement of the Ontario 
 Treasurer on the 18th February, 1873, 
 revealed a condition of prosperity rarely 
 reached, and is a testimony of the prud- 
 ence and economy of the people and their 
 aptitude for public affairs. The revenue 
 for 1873 amounts to $3,098,401 ; the 
 expenditure, conducted on a liberal 
 scale, §2,000,943. The surplus savings 
 accumulated since 18S7,and invested in 
 interest-bearing securities, exceed four 
 millions and a quarter, with a further 
 sum of §352,991 cash in bank, besides 
 enormous assets in real estate, pine for- 
 ests and mineral lands. From the 1st 
 July, 1867,to the 1st January, 1873, 1,484 
 miles of railway have been constructed, 
 or were in course of construction, at an 
 estimated cost of thirty five millions, all 
 bona fide enterprises, built mainly 
 with local funds. Thirty four 
 
 thousand emigrants from Great Britain 
 and the continent made Ontario their 
 home in 1872, in addition to 2,000 Ame- 
 rican citizens who reported themselves 
 to the emigrant agents as having per- 
 manently removed to that Province. 
 115,075 acres were given away to actual 
 settlers, besides a bonus of* §G by the 
 Government to each ad ult emigrant who 
 entered and resided three months in 
 that Province, and arrangements have 
 been made to turn the li le of Scandi- 
 navian migration toward.; the vast 
 unoccupied forest lands ai; nind Nipis- 
 siug, Georgian Bay, and the shores of 
 Lakes Huron and Superior, where a 
 brighter sun and more grateful soil will 
 banish the regrets of the emigrants, 
 and reward their industry. 
 
 No language can convey so vivid a 
 picture of the prodigious strides in pop- 
 ulation a id civilization of counties, a 
 few years since wild and untenanted, 
 like the present Nipissing region, as 
 the passionless figures of the census. In 
 1827 the Huron country was an unbro- 
 ken wilderness; in 1821 the counties of 
 Huron, Perth and Bruce counted only 
 5,000 inhabitants ; in 1851 the number 
 had risen to 37,530; while in 1871 the 
 enumeration was 101, 21G; being nearly 
 thirty fold within thirty years, a rate of 
 progress rarely paralleled amongst a 
 population exclusively devoted to agri- 
 culture, and without the attractions of 
 manufacturing centres.

 OTTAWA,' formerly BYTOWN, a 
 city of () itano, capital of the Dominion 
 of < lanada, and of Carleton co., is beau- 
 tifully situated on the right bank of 
 the Ottawa river, at the outlet of the 
 Ridean, and on the Canada Central 
 arid St. Lawrence and Ottawa Rail- 
 ways, 54. mils N. of Prescott, 12Gmiles 
 W.'N'.W. of Montreal, 95 miles N.N.E 
 of Kingston, and 450 miles from New 
 York. It is one of toe most flourishing 
 cities iii Ontario, being the entrepot of 
 
 the great lumber trade of the Ottawa 
 river aud its tributaries. It is dh 
 into Upper aud Lower Town by the 
 Rideau Canal, which connects it 
 Kingston. The locks here are eight in 
 number and are wry tat 
 
 The town was founded in 1827 by 
 Col. By, R.E. It was incorporated a 
 < ity, and its name changed to Ottawa, in 
 1854, and selected by Queen Victoria as 
 the capital of Canada in 1858. 
 
 The chief attraction in Ottawa is the 
 government buildings, which occupy 
 an elevated piece of ground, ab ait ^5 
 acres in extent and 150 feet ab >ve the 
 river, known by tho name of " Barrack 
 Hill." The view from this natural ter- 
 race is superb. The great river with 
 its moving rafts, steamers, barges, and 
 canoes rolls swiftly on through splendid 
 hill ranges towards the south. In the 
 distance the fine suspension bi 
 which spans the majestic river jusl 
 above the Chaudiere Falls attracts the 
 eye, even though it be tempted to reet 
 upon the wild beauty of the cascade 
 sweeping by craggy rocks between 
 abrupt islands, and plunging iuto the 
 basin below, where part of its waters 
 disappear in a mysterious way. Par 
 beyond the cascade glitters the broad 
 river swiftly rushing down the rapids 
 Des Chenes ; and in the remote back- 
 ground rise towering hills and moun- 
 tains, often brilliant with purple and 
 gold when the sun dips from view and 
 gilds their lovely summit with his 
 parting beams. 
 
 The government buildings, the cor- 
 ner stone of which was laid by II. R. 
 11. the Prince of Wales in September, 
 18G0, are constructed of a light color- 
 ed sandstone found in th • township "f 
 Nepean, in the valley of the Ottawa. 
 The walls and arches are relieved with 
 cut stone dressings of Devonian sand- 
 stone from Ohio and with red sandstone 
 from Potsdam, N.Y. The roofs are 
 coveredwith purple and green slates, and 
 the pinnacles ornament • 1 withwroughl 
 iron castings. The style of are!' 
 ture is the Italian go! hie, and the 
 south front of the quadrangle is formed 
 by the Parliament buildi ig, 500 feel in 
 length. The two departmental build- 
 ings are 375 feet long. The rear is 
 open aud Avill be railed off with a sui- 
 table ornamental screen. The com- 
 mittee rooms occunv the front oi' the

 buikliasr. The library, a beautiful 
 detached circular building, with a 
 dome 90 feet high, is in the rear of the 
 central tower, 250 feet high. The two 
 legislative halls are. on each side of the 
 library, but in the main building. The 
 dimensions of these halls are the same 
 as those of the House of Lords, 
 namely, 80 feet by 45; they are situat- 
 ed on the ground floor and lighted 
 from above. The library is constructed 
 after the plan of the new library of the 
 British Museum, and will hold 300,000 
 volumes. The two departmental build- 
 ings contain in the aggregate 300 
 rooms, and are intended to accommo- 
 date all the departments of the govern- 
 ment of the Dominion ; and are so con- 
 structed as to be capable of extension 
 at any future time without injuring 
 the general architectural effect. The 
 buildings cover nearly four acres, and 
 cost about $4,000,000. 
 
 Besides the above magnificent build- 
 ings Ottawa contain-! 17 churches, 
 viz. : Church of England 3 ; Church 
 of Rome 4; Presbyterian 2 ; Church of 
 Scotland 1 : Wesleyan Methodist 2 ; 
 Episcopal Methodist 2; Congregation- 
 alist 1 ; Baptist 1 ; Catholic Apostolic 1 ; 
 9 printing offices, several flouring mills, 
 and large saw mills; and has manu- 
 factories of iron castings, mill machine- 
 ry, agricultural implements, brooms, 
 bricks, leather, wooden ware, &c, and 
 agencies of two telegraph and a num- 
 ber of assurance and insurance compa- 
 nies, and 7 banks. Five daily news- 
 papers are published in Ottawa. The 
 streets of the city are lighted with gas. 
 
 Adjacent to Ottawa are several 
 thriving villages, among others New 
 Edinburgh and Hull. "Rideau Hall," 
 the residence of the .Governor General, 
 is in the former place. It is a hand- 
 some stone structure, with 35 acres of 
 well laid out grounds, and beautiful 
 avenues of shaded trees. A street rail- 
 way connec's these villages with 
 Ottawa. 
 
 The city returns two members to the 
 House of Commons and two to the 
 Provincial Legislature.

 OVE-VS, a post village in Lunenberg 
 co., N.S., situated at the entrance to 
 Lunenburg harbor, 4£ miles from 
 Lunenburg (by boat). On entering 
 the harbor the mariner is attracted by 
 a promontory 50 feet in height, which 
 contains a dozen or more cavities 
 facing the sea, resembling " ovens." 
 Hence the name to the whole peninsu- 
 la, | miles wide by 1J miles long, to 
 which the gold mining district is at 
 present limited. The regularity at 
 which these " ovens " occur almost 
 confutes the idea of their being merely 
 created by the action of the waves;

 PAC 
 
 they appear rather to have been made 
 by human efforts, though for what pur- 
 pose, unless for mining, it would be 
 difficult to conjecture. Three of the ovens 
 are about 70 feet at the mouth and ex- 
 tend inwards upwards of 200 feet. The 
 discovery of gold in quartz was made 
 here in 1801, but gold was obtained from 
 sea sand gathered on the shore in 157 
 and 1859. The shore washings were 
 abandoned in 1802 after about 3,000 
 oz. had been obtained ; it is stated that 
 the sands are still gold bearing and 
 worth testing. The quartz lodes in- 
 crease in richness and in size as the 
 depth increases. Very li'tle quartz 
 mining has, however, been done. Pop.

 Asbburnham, a thriving village on the 
 opposite bants of the Otoaabee. Pre- 
 vious to 1825, Peterborough was known 
 as Indian Plain or Scott's Landing. It 
 was covered with scattered oaks and 
 small brush, and was on the portage 
 to Lake Ghemong, the head of the 
 Otonabee navigation. In that year 
 Gol. i'etcr Robinson, of Newmarket, (a 
 brother of the late Ghicf Justice of 
 Ontario,) was sent out by Earl Bathurst 
 in charge of 2,000 emigrants. He con- 
 ducted them from the south of Ireland 
 to the Indian Plains, where he en- 
 camped them and subsequently settled 
 them in the neighboring townships. 
 Gol. Robinson then lived in a tent on 
 a rising ground close to the river side, 
 and one day at a dinner party which 
 he gave in his tent the question arose 
 what name to give the future town. 
 It was then decided that it should be 
 called Peterborough, after Col. Robin- 
 son. There were present at the dinner 
 the Hon. Thomas A. Stewart, Mr. Alex. 
 McDonald, Dr. Reid, of Perth, Mr. Syd- 
 ney Bellingham, M.P. for Argento uil, 
 and one or two others. The name was 
 adopted and Gol. Robinson gave ord< is 
 that it should be laid out in town and 
 park lots, and promised each ot his 
 guests a town and park lot. The land 
 upon which the town stands was then 
 valued at $1 an acre. Pop. in 1871,

 PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND, for- 
 merly called ST. JOHN'S ISLAND, 
 a Province of the Dominion of Canada, 
 situated in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, 
 between 4G° and 47 D 7 N. lat., and 02 
 and 64' 27 W. Ion. It is washed by 
 the Gulf on the N., and separated 
 by Northumberland Strait from New 
 Brunswick on the E. and Nova Scotia 
 on tiie S. Greatest length 130 miles ; 
 breadth, 34 miles — in its narrowest 
 part, near the centre, it is only 4 
 miles wide. Area, 2,134 miles, or 
 1,365.760 acres. The coast line pre- 
 sents a remarkable succession of large 
 bays and projecting headlands. Of 
 the latter the most promi tent are 
 North Cape on the N.W., West Cape 
 on the S.W., and East Cape on the 
 N.E. ; the largest hays are those of 
 Richmond on the N.W, Egmont on 
 the S.W., Hillsboroi g i on the S , and 
 Cardigan on the E. These bays, by 
 penetrating into the land from opposite 
 directions, form narrow isthmuses 
 which make a natural division of the 
 Island into three distinct peninsulas. 
 This natural division has been adopted 
 as the basis of a nearly corresponding 
 civil division into Prince's county in the 
 
 W., Queen's county in the centre, and 
 King's county in the E. 
 
 The surface of Prince Edward Island 
 undulates gently, nowhere rising so 
 high as to become mountainous or 
 sinking so low as to form a monotonous 
 flat. At one time the whole Island 
 was covered with a dpnse forest of 
 beech, birch, maple, poplar, spruce, lir, 
 hemlock, larch and cedar; and though 
 destructive fires, lumbering and cul- 
 tiva lion have made large gaps in it, a 
 co isiderable part of the original forest 
 still remains. The whole Island is 
 eminently agricultural and pastoral. 
 The soil consists generally of a light 
 reddish loam, sometimes approaching 
 to a strong clay, but more frequently 
 of a light and sandy texture. The 
 prevailing rock is a reddish sandstone, 
 but a large part of the surface is allu- 
 vial and entirely free from stone. No 
 minerals of the least consequence have 
 yet been discovered, and even lime- 
 stone and gypsum appear to be want- 
 ing. The climate is much milder than 
 that of the adjoining continent, and 
 the air, generally free from the fogs 
 which spread alo ig the shores of Nova 
 Scotia, is remarkably salubrious. The 
 winter is long and cold ; but the sum- 
 mer, without being oppressively hot, is 
 eminently fitted to promote the growth 
 and maturity of all the ordinary cereals. 
 The principal crops are whea f , barley 
 and oats, all of these abunda it and of 
 excellent quality; pease and beans are 
 equally good, and potatoes and turnips 
 are nowhere surpassed. The land not 
 cultivable consists of soft, spongy turf, 
 or a deep layer of wet, black mould, 
 which may prove valuable for fuel. 
 The fisheries are very valuable, especial- 
 ly on the north coast, which is much 
 frequented by mackerel and cod. The 
 manufactures are chielly for domestic 
 use. Shipbuilding is prosecuted with 
 considerable enterprise. 
 
 The public affairs of Prince Edward 
 Island are administered by a Lieutenant 
 Governor, an Executive Con icil of 9 
 in imbers, a Legislative Council of 13 
 members, and a Legislative Assembly of 
 30 representatives. Justiceis adminis- 
 tered according to the laws of England. 
 
 The total population of the Island 
 in 1871 was 94,021, an increase of 
 13,100 since 1861, and of 89,921 since it 
 first became a British possession (1758.)

 necting the Island with New Brans wick. 
 In 1872 the building of a railway to 
 connect Charlottetown with the prin- 
 cipal places on the Island was com- 
 menced. This railway will be all com- 
 pleted in 1874, and will be 200 miles 
 in length, viz. : Trunk line, from Cas- 
 cumpeque to Georgetown, 147 miles ; 
 Western extension, from Cascumpeque 
 to Tignish, 13 miles ; Eastern branch, 
 from Mint Stewart to Souris, 40 
 miles. T'ie gauge is 3 ft. G in. ; mini- 
 mum radius of carves, 000 ft. ; maxi- 
 mum gradient, 1 in 80 ; estimated cost 
 (f road and equipment, S1G.000 per 
 mile. That portion of the line between 
 Charlottetown and Summerside is com- 
 ] 1 ted. The following is the rolling 
 k : 14 locomotives, 14 first-class 
 
 passenger cars, 9 second-class passen- 
 ger and baggage cars (combine i), 5 
 postal cars, 125 box freight cars, 43 
 platform cars, and 4 snow ploughs. 
 The Prince Edward Idaud railway will 
 traverse nearly the whole lengui of the 
 Island from Tignish on the north to 
 Georgetown a id Souris on the east, 
 connecting also with Summersidi (Be- 
 deque harbor) and Charlottetown on 
 the south. Summerside is about 3^ 
 hours' run by steamer from Point du 
 Chene, the northern terminus of the 
 New Brunswick railways. Charlott°- 
 town is about GO miles or 5 hours' run 
 by steamer from Pictou, the northern 
 terminus of the Nova Scotia railways. 
 Tignish and Cascumpeque are depots 
 of the Gulf fisheries. Georgetown and 
 Souris harbors are open in the fall 
 generally for two or three weeks after 
 the other ports are closed by ice. The 
 construction of this railway will ena- 
 ble shippers in all parts of the Island 
 to take advantage of this important 
 addition to the open season. Should 
 an attempt be made at any time to 
 keep up winter steam communication 
 between the Island and the mainland, 
 Souris on the former and Cape George 
 on the latter (Nova Scotia) will pro- 
 bably be found the most available 
 points for the purpose. 
 
 During the season of navigation, 
 there is tri-weeklv communication with 
 Pictou, Nova Scotia, and Shediac, 
 New Brunswick, in addition to which 
 there are steamers connecting with 
 Quebec and the Gulf Ports to the north 
 and Halifax and Boston to the south. 
 What is known as the Baie Yerte Canal, 
 now projec ed, will greatly facilitate 
 communication with the Bay of Fundy 
 and the New England ports. Naviga- 
 tion generally closes about the middle 
 of December, and is resumed about the 
 end of April or beginning of .May. 
 During this time mails and passengers 
 are conveyed across the Strait in ice 
 boats, which ply between Cape Trav- 
 erse in Prince Edwtrdlsland and Cape 
 Tormentine in New Brunswick- The 
 passage is not at all times safe, and it is 
 believed that powerful steamers might 
 keep the navigation open nearly all, if 
 not all. the year round. 
 Charlottetown, the capital, is situated 
 at the confluence of the York and Hills- 
 borough rivers and contains nearly

 10,000 inhabitants; Georgetown and 
 Suminerside are the other chief 
 towns, the latter, however, from its 
 situation monopolizes the business of 
 the district, owing to its better harbor. 
 
 This Island was amongst the early 
 discoveriesof Cabot, but no claim was 
 ever made by the English on that ac- 
 count. The French afterwards assum- 
 ed it, as part of the discoveries of 
 Verazino; and, in IG'53, a grant was 
 made of it to Sieur Doublet, a French 
 naval officer. Little progress was made 
 in settling the Island till after the peace 
 of Utrecht in 1715, when its fertility 
 and natural advantages allured great 
 numbers of Acadians from Cape Bre- 
 ton. It was taken by the British in 
 1755, restored by the treaty of Aix-la- 
 Chapelle, retaken and finalty ceded 
 to Great Britain in 1758. It was then 
 placed under the government of Nova 
 Scotia. In 1768 it was erected into a 
 separate government, though at the 
 time it did not possess five resident 
 proprietors, nor did its total number of 
 inhabitants exceed 150 families. In 
 1773 the first House of Assembly met, 
 and the constitution of the colony 
 was definitely settled under the admin- 
 istration of Governor Patterson, which 
 lasted from 1708 to 1789. In 1799 the 
 name of the Island was changed from St. 
 John to Prince Edward, in compliment 
 to the Duke of Kent, who in that year 
 honored the Island with a visit. In 
 1873 it was admitted into the Dominion 
 of Canada, on the following terms : 
 
 In consideration of the large expen- 
 diture of Canada in railways and ca- 
 nals, and the prospective re-adjustment 
 of the public debt of the Dominion, the 
 Island is allowed a debt equal to $50 
 per head of i's population, amounting 
 in the aggregate to $4,701,050. The 
 Island m>t having actually incurred at 
 present a debt equal to this amount is 
 to receive 5 per cent, per annum on the 
 difference between the first mentioned 
 amount and its actual indebtedness. 
 As the Island has no revenue from 
 public lands, it is to receive $45,000 
 for the maintenance of public works, 
 less 5 por cent, per annum upon a iy 
 sum not exceeding $800,000, which the 
 Dominion may advance to the Island 
 Government for the purchase of lands 
 held by the large proprietors. In con- 
 sideration of its right to levy taxation, 
 
 now transferred to the Dominion, the 
 Island is to receive $30,000 per annum 
 and a grant equal to 80 cents per head 
 of its population as shown by the cen- 
 sus returns of 1871. The Dominion 
 undertakes to establish regular steam 
 communication between the Island and 
 the mainland of the Dominion at all 
 Beasons of the year, to establish tele- 
 graphic' communication with the Is- 
 land, and to purchase the railways in 
 the Island in course of construction 
 and under contract. The Island is en- 
 titled to be represented by six members 
 in the Dominion House of Commons 
 ami four in the Dominion Senai \

 QUEBEC, after Montreal the most 
 populous city in the Dominion of Can- 
 ada, capital of the province of Quebec, 
 is situated on the left bank of the River 
 St. Lawrence, which here receives the 
 St. Charles, 400 milts from the mouth 
 of the River St. Lawrence at Point des 
 Monts, 180 miles N.E. of Montreal, 
 and 328 miles N.N.W. of Portland, Me.

 The city has a remarkably pictur- 
 esque situation between, the two iivei-3 
 at the N.E. extremity of a narrow but 
 elevated table land, which, for about 8 
 miles, forms the left bank of the St. 
 Lawrence. Cape Diamond, the extre- 
 raitv of the table land, is 333 feet above 
 the level of the river, to which it pre- 
 sents a nearly precipitous face ; the 
 descent to the'St. Charles is more gra- 
 dual. The distance from one river to

 the other across the ridge is rather 
 more than a mile. Opposite Cape Dia- 
 mond the St. Lawreace is contracted 
 to a breadth of only 1,314 yards ; but 
 immediately below, at the confluence 
 o'f the St. Charles, it spreads out into a 
 bro:id and beautiful basin more than 
 2,500 yards wide, forming a capacious 
 and excellent harbor. The spring tides 
 rise and fall 18 feet 
 
 Quebec is divided into two parts, 
 called Upper and Lower Towns. The 
 Upper Town occupies the highest part 
 of the promontory ; it is surrounded 
 with walls, and otherwise fortified 
 The ancient citadel, which crowns the 
 Bummit of Cape Diamond, covers, with 
 its numerous works, an area ot 40 acres 
 and from its position is probably the 
 strongest fortress in America. 
 
 The chief ascents to the Upper Town 
 are by a steep and narrow winding 
 street and by a flight of steps 
 
 The Lower Town, which is the seat 
 of commerce, is built around the base 
 of Cape Diamond, where, in many 
 places, the rock has been cut away to 
 make room for the houses On the side 
 of the St. Charles the water at flood 
 tide formerly washed the very foot of 
 the rock, but from time to time whai i 
 after wharf has been projected towards 
 low water mark, and foundations made 
 sufficiently solid on which to build 
 whole streets, where boats and even 
 vessels of considerable burthen once 
 rode at anchor Tiie banks of both 
 rivers are now lined wnh warehouses 
 and wharves,the latter jutting about 200 
 feet into the stream ; a-nd along which 
 the water is of sufficient depth to ad- 
 mit vessels of the largest size. The 
 streets are generally irregular and nar- 
 row, in few instances are they well 
 paved and lighted The houses are 
 principally of stone and brick, 2 or 3 
 stories high, the older ones with steep 
 and quaint looking roofs 
 
 The city has several time3 suffered 
 from disastrous fires, but the result has 
 been the erection ot more attractive 
 buildings, and a consequent great im- 
 provement in the general appearance 
 of the city. 
 
 During the year 1854, a plentiful sup- 
 ply of water was introduced from Lake 
 St. Charles. 
 
 In the Upper Town are several squares 
 and public walks commanding views 
 
 unrivalled for their varied and pictur- 
 esque beauty. In one stands a substan- 
 tial monument, erected to the joint 
 memory of Generals Wolfe and Mont- 
 calm, the English andFrench comman- 
 der.-! who fell at the taking of Quebec. 
 in 1759 It consists of an obelisk rest- 
 ing on a granite pedestal, the whole 
 65 feet high. A monument 40 feet in 
 height marks the spot where General 
 Wolfe fell on the Plains of Abraham ; 
 while on the St. Foy road stands an 
 iron pillar surmounted by abronze sta- 
 tue, presented by Prmce Napoleon Bo- 
 naparte in 1855, intended to commemo- 
 rate a fierce struggle which look place 
 here in 1700 between the British and 
 French troops, 
 
 Among ihe public buildings of Que- 
 bec may be mentioned the Parliament 
 Buildings, the Roman Catholic Cathe- 
 dral, an irregular budding, capable of 
 containing 4,000 persons, and covering, 
 with the university attached, an area of 
 8 acres ; the English Cathedral, sur- 
 mounted by a lofty spire ; and St. Johns 
 Free Scotch Church, also adorned with 
 a spire, occupying elevated positions in 
 the Upper Town 
 
 There are in all 19 churches in Que- 
 bec, and i Synagogue. Of the churches 
 7 are Roman Catholic ; 7 church of 
 England ; 1 church of Scotland ; 1 
 Presbyterian ; 1 Baptist ; 1 Congrega- 
 tional, and 1 Wesleyan Methodist. 
 
 The educational institutions comprise 
 3 Roman Catholic Colleges, viz: Laval 
 University, with faculties ot law, medi- 
 cine and arts ; the Grand S rniuary, 
 and the Minor Seminary ; the Ursu- 
 Lne convent, an extensive establish- 
 ment founded in 1641 ; several nunne- 
 ries ; Morrin College, with 10 professors; 
 Laval Normal and Model School ; 
 the Quebec High School ; and a number 
 of academies and private and public 
 schools There are in addition the Can- 
 adian and Mechanics' Institute?, provid- 
 ed with libraries and reading rooms ; 
 the Literary and Historical Society, the 
 oldest chartered institution of the kind 
 in Canada, having been founded in 18'24, 
 and possessing valuable " Records of 
 the Realm," in 80 or 90 [olios, anil a large 
 collection of Historical manuscripts, 
 but nearly the whole of its museum, 
 and a great part of its library, were de- 
 stroyed by fire with th^ Parliament 
 buildings in 1854 ; the Entomological

 Six daily a rvrspapers are published in 
 Quebec, 3 of which are in the French 
 language. 
 
 The principal benevolent institutions 
 are the Marine Hospital, the Hotel 
 Dieu, the General Hospital, and the 
 Lunatic Asylum at Beauport. 
 
 Quebec has the head offices of 3 
 bank-, viz ; Quebec Bank, Banque Na- 
 tionale, and Union Bank of Lower 
 Canada, besides which there are 2 
 savings bank -, and ag sneies of the Bank 
 of Montreal and Bank of British North 
 America 
 
 Shipbuilding is the chief manufactur- 
 ing industry ot Quebec. There are also 
 manufactories of iron castings, machin- 
 ery, cutlery, nails, leather, musical in- 
 struments, boots and shoes, paper, India 
 rubber goods, rope, tobacco, st el, etc. 
 
 Quebec is an important port of Can- 
 ada, and the most ancient. The great 
 staple of export is timber, Montreal 
 being the port where the agricultural 
 exports are chiefly exchanged for sup- 
 plies of foreign goods. The timber is 
 furnished principally by the Ottawa 
 and St Maurice rivers As the raf'.s 
 come d iwn the river, they are col- 
 lected into what are called Cones and 
 secured by booms m> >red alon.L>- the 
 banks, the timber bemjr partly afloat, 
 partly aground, according to the rise 
 or fall of the tides These coves ex- 
 tend almost continuously along the 
 left bankot the St. Lawrence, for a dis- 
 tance of six miles above the town, 
 throughout the whole of which, at cer- 
 tain seasons, may be seen a mass of 
 logs with a breadth varying from 150 
 to 200 yards. There are also extensive 
 timber and deal sawing establishments 
 near the city, on the right bank of tbe 
 St. Lawren e. 
 
 The number of arrivals at Quebec 
 from sea in 1872 was 1,002 (tons 783,- 
 31C), and the clearances 989 (tons 
 767.784). Total value of imports 
 $7,532,221 ; exports $11,931,077. New 
 ships built at Quebec in 1872, 13 (tons 
 7,911) ; value 36332,262. 
 
 Quebec retur is three members to 
 the House of Commons, and three to 
 the Provincial Legislature. It is the 
 seat of the See of two Bishops, the 
 Lord Bishop of Quebec (Church of 
 
 England), and the Archbishop of 
 Quebec (Church of Rome). Pop. in 
 1832, 27,562 ; in 1844, 34,500 ; in 1852, 
 42,052; in 1861,51,100; and in 1871, 
 59,6'J9,— 52,337 of whom were Roman 
 Catholics, chiefly French Canadians. 
 
 Quebec was first visited by Jacques 
 Cartier in 1535. It then consisted of 
 an Indian village called Stadacona. 
 In July, 1608, Champlain founded the 
 city giving it its present name. The 
 progress of its aggrandizement was 
 slow, in consequence of the hostilities 
 of the powerful Iroquois. In 1629 it 
 fell into the hands of the English; but, 
 with the whole of Canada, was restored 
 to the French in 1632. From this, 
 periol some attention was paid to the 
 increase of the city; and in 1663, 
 when the colony was made a royal 
 government, it became the capital. 
 In 1690 the English attempted to 
 reconquer it, but met with a disastrous 
 defeat ; but in 1759 it was captured by 
 the brave General Wo.fe, and has since 
 been under the British Crown. An 
 unsuccessful attempt was made by the 
 Americans to carry the city by assault 
 on the night of December 31, 1775, 
 when General Montgomery was slain. 
 
 QUEBEC, a county in the S.W. part 
 of Quebec, comprises an area of 1,602,- 
 699 acres. This county is drained by

 Labrador and Hudson's Bay; on the 
 E. by Labrador and the Gulf of St. 
 Lawrence; on the S by Baie des 
 Chaleurs, New Brunswick and the 
 State of Maine ; on the rs.E by the 
 States of New Hampshire, Vermont an I 
 New York; and on the S.W by the 
 River Ottawa and the Provinre of 
 Ontario. Length from Lake Temisca- 
 mmque to Anse au Blanc Sablon, in the 
 Straits of Belle Isle, about 1,000 miles 
 o i a due east and west course, and from 
 the above named lake to Cape Gaspe, 
 about 700 miles ; breadth about 300 
 miles The total territorial superficies 
 comprises, land and inland waters, 
 123,747,140 acres, or 193.355 square 
 statute miles, or 500,679 square kilo- 
 metres. The surface of the country

 is varied and grand, consisting of 
 boundless forests, magnificent rivers 
 and lakes, extensive prairies, bold, 
 rocky heights and foaming cata- 
 racts, diversified by cultivated fields, 
 pretty villages and settlements, some 
 stretching up along mountains, fertile 
 islands, rich pastures, and well fed 
 flocks. 
 
 The principal mountain ranges stretch 
 from S.W. lo N.E. and lie nearly 
 parallel to each other. They consist of 
 the Notre Dame or Green Mountains, so 
 called from the fine forests that cover 
 their slopes, which, from the latitude of 
 the city of Quebec, follow nearly the 
 whole course of the St. Lawrence, on 
 the S side of which they are situated, 
 and terminate on the Gulf of the same 
 name, between Baie des Chaleurs and 
 Gaspe Point On the N. side of the 
 river is the Laurentian range, which 
 forms undulating ridges of about 1,000 
 feet in elevation , the Mealy mountains 
 stretching from about lat To' 1 W. to 
 Sandwich Bay, computed to be about 
 1,500 feet high, and always covered 
 with snow; and the Wotchish moun- 
 tains, a short range, of crescent form 
 between the Gulf of St. Lawrence 
 and Hudson's Bay The rocky masses 
 connected with the mountain chains 
 that lino the St. Lawrence advance 
 in many places close to the stream, 
 forming precipitous cliffs, frequently 
 200 and 300 feet high. The banks of 
 the St. Lawrence are in many places 
 composed of schist, in a decaying or 
 mouldering condition and in every 
 quarter granite is found, more or less 
 inclined, but never parallel to the hori- 
 zon In the Gaspe district numerous 
 and beautiful specimens of quartz have 
 been obtained ; indications of coal have 
 also been traced. The limestone for- 
 mat ion ex tends over 30,000 square miles; 
 the dip is moderate aid the strata of 
 limestone generally undisturbed. Along 
 the shores of the estuary and Gulf of 
 St. Lawrence horizontal banks of shells 
 appearat vanouaheights from 10 to 100 
 feet above high water mark, and inland 
 beaches oi sand and shingle, with simi- 
 lar shells: as also elevated limestone 
 rucks, scooped out by the waves, and 
 Bhowing lines of lithodomous perfora- 
 tions — all indicating the successive up- 
 heaving of the land since the sea was 
 inhabited by the existing species of 
 
 testacea. Earthquakes have been very 
 frequent in the province, and some of 
 them of considerable violence. 
 
 The province of Quebec is richly 
 endowed with mines of gold, copper, 
 iron and other ores. Gold is found 
 chiefly on the banks of the Chau- 
 diere. Copper is found in large quan- 
 tities in the Eastern townships. Iron 
 is found almost everywhere, and is of 
 superior quality. Lead, silver, zinc, 
 platinum, &c, also occur iii various 
 sections. 
 
 The great River St. Lawrence 
 flows through the Province. Just 
 above Montreal it receives from the N. 
 W. the Ottawa, a river 800 mi'es long, 
 and in no degree inferior to it in inter- 
 est. Below Montreal it receives, on the 
 right, the Richelieu river, Laving its 
 source in Lake Champlain ; the St. 
 Francis, rising in Lake Memphrema- 
 gog ; and the Chaudiere, the outlet of 
 Lake Megantic ; and, on the left, the St. 
 Maurice, the Batiscan and the Saguenay 
 rivers, from 200 to 400 miles in length. 
 The latter is the outlet of the large and 
 beautiful Lake St. John 
 
 The climate of Quebec, though similar 
 to that of Ontario, is colder in winter and 
 warmer in summer. Spring bursts forth 
 in great beauty, and vegetation is rapid. 
 In winter the cold is generally steady ; 
 and the atmosphere is clear and 
 bracing, which renders the sleighing 
 very agreeable and pleasant. Winter 
 generally commences the latter end of 
 November and lasts until the end of 
 March. During the winter months the 
 trees are oftentimes covered with frost. 
 Nothing can be imagined more beauti- 
 ful and brilliant than the effect of sun- 
 shine on a calm day on the frozen 
 boughs, where every particle of the icy 
 crystals sparkles, and nature seems 
 decked in diamonds. The soil is gen- 
 erally rich and adapted to the growth 
 of cereals, hay and green crops Apples 
 and plums grow in abundance The 
 greater portion of the province is 
 covered by forests consisting chiefly of 
 white and red pine. Numerous 
 quantities of this timber are annually 
 sent to England The other kinds of 
 timber are ash, birch, beech, elm, hick- 
 ory, black walnut, maple, cherry, but- 
 ternut, basswood, spruce, fir, &c- On 
 the 30th of June,] 872, there were 5,894,- 
 018 acres of Crown Lands surveyed

 and ready to be disposed of, and over 
 100,000,000 acres yet unsurveyed. The 
 revenue from timber due?, ground rents, 
 &c., from July4st, 1867, to June 30th, 
 1872, amounted to $1,740,968.35. 
 
 The lumber regions of Canada must, 
 under judicious management, long re- 
 main a fruitful source of revenue to 
 the provinces of Quebec and Ontario. 
 The augmenting and progressive de- 
 mand in Great Britain and the United 
 States, the West Indies, and South 
 America, for rough and manufactured 
 timber has given an enormous value 
 within the last decade to timber limits; 
 and, as a natural result, explorations 
 have been pushed far into the interior, 
 and regious long neglected, have ac- 
 quired a commercial value. If we 
 examine the records of the Crown Lands 
 Department for the province of Quebec 
 we find evidence to show that large 
 areas Lave been acquired at prices far 
 beyond the rates of former days. Thus 
 in 1867, when the British NorthAtnerican 
 provinces were confederated, and each 
 province invested with the control of 
 the forest lands within its limits, rough 
 surveys had been made of 192, OoO 
 square miles, though only a small por- 
 tion had been leased, as the following 
 tables will explain :

 cense iti 1SCS ... 25,000

 cense in 1872 42,399 
 
 Do do vacant 149,601 
 
 Total income in 1872 8444,752 
 
 Thus 25,000 miles in 1568 yielded a 
 
 revenue of §195,115 
 
 While -12,399 miles in 1872 yielded a 
 
 revenue of $444,752 
 
 For many years past skilled explorers 
 and surveyors have been employed in 
 the interior, making themselves thor- 
 oughly acquainted with the nature of 
 the soil, and the quantity and character 
 of the forests. 
 
 Messrs. Russell, Symes and Casgrain 
 were employed ascertaining the value 
 of the forest lands on the Upper Ottawa 
 above Quinze river, between Lakes Vic- 
 toria and Expanse, included in latitudes 
 47 3 and 4S 3 and longitudes 76° to 79\ 
 They were engaged on this duty at inter- 
 vals during the years 1806 to 1871 ; and 
 Messrs. Xf. Wagner, Lindsay Rus- 
 
 sell, Duncan Sinclair and Lahore, 
 between the years 1805 and 1870 made 
 exhaustive explorations of the country 
 around the head waters of the Gatineau, 
 Lievre and Rouge, but more especial- 
 ly within latitudes 4iP and 47" and 
 longitudes 74 D and 75 3 . The great im- 
 pediment in the path of the lumber mer- 
 chant who acquires distant timber 
 limits is, the enormous cost of clearing 
 out the smaller streams from their in- 
 cumbrances so that lugs can be floated ; 
 and also constructing slides to over- 
 come heavy rapids and falls. Hundreds 
 of thousands of dollars must often be 
 1. nd out in preliminary works of this 
 character before a single saw log or 
 piece of square timber can be brought 
 to market. These reasons will explain 
 partly why such large areas of forest 
 land, do not enjoy a high commercial 
 value, and why the following limits yet 
 await purchasers: 
 
 MILES.

 cluding Labrador and GasptS 139.000 
 
 Total miles awaiting purchasers 149,0 JO 
 
 Being equivalent to 107,000,000 acres of 
 uusurveyed lands. 
 
 The timber limi's of Gaspe only ae- 
 quired a commercial value within the 
 last few years, but now they are at- 
 t acting attention, and beginning to 
 bring in a revenue. Timber limits vary 
 in size according to the standing of the 
 lessees, many of the large lumbering 
 establishments holding hundreds of 
 sqnar miles. The 'Governments of 
 Ontario and Quebec never relinquish 
 their proprietary rights ; they invariably 
 retain the fond or proprietary right ; 
 merely leasing the usufruct. For- 
 merly the leases were of short 
 duration and at very moderate rates, 
 bit experience taught the Crown 
 Land Departments that, under long 
 leases, the limit holders would have a 
 direct pecuniary interest in protecting 
 the forests from disastrous fires, ana 
 judiciously selecting their annual cut- 
 tings, so as to permit the growth of the 
 young timber. 
 
 Under the existing system of granting 
 licenses, the leases continue in force for 
 twenty-one years, with the right of
 
 QUE

 renewal at such bonus as the Commis- 
 sioners may stipulate when the lease 
 expires. Thirty years since, two dollars 
 per square mile was regarded as a high 
 rate to pay per square mile for a timber 
 limit, but the rates have advanced so 
 rapidly, consequent oil the United States 
 demand for lumber, that thirty and 
 thirty-live dollars were freely paid in 
 1872 per square mile, for twelve hun- 
 dred miles. The thirty dollars is a 
 prime or bonus for a twenty-one years' 
 lease, but there are annual charges at- 
 taching to each mile of limit worked, 
 called ground rent and stumpage, 
 amounting to some four dollars per 
 square mile per annum. 
 
 In 1872, Quebec had 793 miles of rail- 
 way in operation ; 305 miles in course of 
 construction ; and 252 miles for which 
 charters had been granted. The rail- 
 ways in operation were, the Grand 
 Trunk and brandies, the Montreal and 
 Vermont Junction, Stanstead, Shefford 
 and Chambly, South Eastern, Montreal, 
 Chambly and Sorel, Intercolonial, Mas- 
 sawippi Valley, Gosford (wooden), and 
 St. Lawrence and Industry ; those in 
 course of construction were' the Inter- 
 colonial (to be completed in 1874), Levis 
 and Kennebec, St. Francis and Lake 
 Megantic, Northern Colonization ; and 
 those chartered were the North Shore, 
 M m ral and St. Lin, and Richmond, 
 Melbourne and Missisquoi. 
 
 The province, as regards civil 
 matters, is divided into parishes, town- 
 ships, counties and districts. Whenever 
 a new district is sufficiently populous 
 to form a parish, the Roman Catholic 
 Diocesan Bishop, upon the requisition 
 of a majority of the inhabitants, orders 
 its canonical erection into a parish. By 
 a proceeding somewhat analogous the 
 civil authorities order the civil erection 
 of municipal corporations. The town- 
 ships arc of English origin. After the 
 ce o i of Canada to Great Britain, the 
 English land system of holding in free 
 and common soccage was Instituted for 
 the feudal system aponallCrown Lands, 
 and then the township took the place of 
 the seigniory. The regular limits of a 
 township are ten miles square, or 100 
 superficial miles. Such townships as 
 are not sub-divided into parishes pre- 
 serve for all municipal or other purposes 
 their legal limits. The counties were 
 established for the purposes of represen- 
 
 tation, each county having the right to 
 send one member to the House of Com- 
 mons every five years, and one to the 
 Local Legislature every four years. In 
 addition to this each county forms a 
 registration division for registration of 
 mortgages, &c. The parish and township 
 municipalities comprised in a county 
 form what is called a county municipal- 
 ity. The province is divided into 65 
 electoral districts, viz:

 For judicial purposes the province 
 is divided into 20 districts, eacli judicial 
 district having ample and equal juris- 
 diction in all matters, except as to re- 
 vision and appeal. The Superior Court 
 sits in revision only at Montreal and 
 Quebec , the Court of Appeal also sits 
 only at .Montreal and Quebec. 
 
 Public instruction is under the control 
 and direction of the Provincial Secreta- 
 ry, who is also called the Minister of Pub- 
 lic Instruction, and who is assisted by a 
 Council of 21 members, appointed by 
 the Lieutenant Governor, 14 of whom 
 are Roman Catholics and 7 Protestants. 
 Primary education is so far compul- 
 sory that every citizen is bound to con- 
 tribute a moderate tax assessed on bis 
 property. In municipalities wbere 
 there are diiFjrc.it religious denomina- 
 tions the school commissioners of the 
 majority govern. The schools of the 
 minority are called dissentient schools, 
 whose trustees aie invested with the 
 same authority as the commissioners of 
 schools of the majority. In the cities 
 of Montreal and Quebec there are sep- 
 arate boards of commissioners for the 
 Protestant and Roman Catholic 
 schools. Teachers are trained in Nor- 
 mal schools, supported at the expense 
 of the Province. In 1871 there were in 
 the p-ovince 3,039 elementary schools, 
 227 model schools, 147 agricultural, 
 commercial a id special schools, and 15 
 classical colleges and seminaries The 
 Protestant Universities are McGill Col- 
 lege, at Montreal, founded in 1827, and 
 Bishop's College, Lenaoxville, founded 
 in 1843. The Roman Catholic Univer- 
 sity of Laval was founded by the Que- 
 bec Seminary in 1852. 
 
 The prevailing religion is that of the 
 Church of Rome. The Roman Catho- 
 lic Dioceses are six in number, viz: 
 the Archdiocese of Quebec ,and the 
 Dioceses of Montreal, Three Rivers, St. 
 Hyacinthe, Sherbrooke and Rimouski. 
 The Protestant Dioceses are two in 
 number : Montreal, the Metropolitical 
 See, and Quebec. According to the 
 census of 1871, the religious denomi- 
 nations in the province were as follows : 
 
 Church of England 62.449 
 
 Church of Rome 1,019.850

 There are four cities in the province : 
 Montreal, population 107,225 ; Quebec, 
 59,669; Three Rivers 7,570; and St. 
 Hyacinthe, 3,746. The principal manu- 
 factures are cloth, linen, furniture, 
 leather, sawn lumber, flax, hardware, 
 paper, chemicals, soap, boots and shoes, 
 cotton and woollen goods, steam 
 engines and locomotives, wooden ware 
 of all descriptions, agricultural imple- 
 ments, ships, &c. The facilities for 
 manufacturing afforded by abundant 
 water power are excellent. 
 
 The public affairs of the province are 
 administered by a Lieutenant Governor, 
 an Executive Council of 7 members, a 
 Legislative Council of 24 members, ap- 
 pointed for life, and a Legislative As- 
 sembly of 05 members. The judicial de- 
 partment comprises a Court of Queen's 
 Bench, with a Chief Justice and 4 assis- 
 tants : a Superior Court, with Chief Jus- 
 tice and 26 assistants ; a Court of vice 
 Admiralty; Courts of Quarter Sessions; 
 and Courts for the summary trial of 
 small causes. 
 
 According to late returns the total 
 value of the imports from all 
 foreign countries in 1872 amounted to 
 $49,370,176, of which $3,9 7 1,0". 8 were 
 from the United States, and $33,731,014 
 from Great Britain. The exports for the 
 same period amounted to $11,823,470. 
 The imports for Montreal alone 
 amounted to $40,088,005, and exports
 
 QUE 
 
 270 
 
 QUE 
 
 $18,171,384. The chief articles exported 
 were pot and pearl ashes, flour, wheat, 
 oats, barley, butter, cheese, copper, 
 wool, and lumber. Iu 1ST2 there 
 arrived at the several ports of the pro- 
 vince 1,608 vessels with an aggregate 
 burthen of 1,334,086 tous. During the 
 same period there cleared 1,660 vessels; 
 tons 1,135,715. 
 
 The commerce of the province is 
 greatly facilitated by several canals 
 which avoid the most violent rapids of 
 the St. Lawrence. These are the Lachine 
 canal, extending from Montreal to Lake 
 St. Louis ; the Beauharnois canal, 
 uniting Lakes St. Francis and St. 
 Louis; the Chambly canal, uniting 
 Lake Champlain with the Richelieu 
 river; and the Carillon and Grenville 
 canal. 
 
 The province contains many grand 
 and beautiful objects of iuterest 
 to the tourist. The Ottawa and its 
 tributaries abound in falls and rapids of 
 an exceedingly picturesque character. 
 Ascending this stream a little above 
 Rigand you have Carillon Falls, a 
 series of rapids 12 miles in length. 
 Near Ottawa city a branch, called the 
 Rideau, pours its waters down a per- 
 pendicular bed of blue limestone, 50 
 feet, into the Ottawa. The Chaudiere 
 Falls, (the Indian name of which is 
 Kanajo, " the Boiling Pot/') in the same 
 vicinity, are wild and grand. The Fall 
 in no place exceeds 40 feet, but the 
 rapids extend 6 miles, and the water 
 foams, tosses, and tumbles among 
 rocks of every shape, in perpetual 
 variety, and in such a manner as never 
 to weary the eye, appearing like a mul- 
 titude of different streams " struggling 
 for a passage." An excellent view of 
 the whole is had from a line suspension 
 bridge over the Ottawa. One portion 
 of the river is separated from the main 
 stream, and falls into a subterranean 
 passage. \Vhen this part of Canada 
 was an unbroken wilderness, an enter- 
 prising American named Philemon 
 Wright established himself at the falls, 
 selecting the mouth or Hull side as his 
 residence. His descendants include the 
 present Common's Members for the 
 counties of Pontiac and Ottawa. The 
 late Philemon Wright had his attention 
 early attracted to the strange phenom- 
 enon of a considerable portion of the 
 Chaudiere Falls descending into a rocky 
 
 basin without any apparent outlet. 
 Having built the first saw mill ever 
 erected on the Ottawa river, at that 
 part of the falls immediately above the 
 lost channel, and being curious to 
 know its outlet, he followed the course 
 of the river downwards for sixty miles, 
 examining the shore line on each side, 
 but he was unable to discover the 
 slightest trace of the saw dust or saw 
 mill debris daily cast into the lost 
 channel, and to this day the enigma has 
 baffletl curiosity and science,and the out- 
 let is a mystery. At these and the other 
 falls are timber slides constructed at 
 great expense. Les Chats,another series 
 of falls or rapids, 30 miles farther up, are 
 formed by the river breaking, at high 
 water, over the rocks in 33 distinct 
 shoots, spreading across the river to a 
 width of 4 miles. Some of these sepa- 
 rate shoots would, in many places, be 
 called large rivers and are very 
 remarkable falls, and well worthy 
 the attention of the tourist. At 
 Calumet there is another rapid 
 of scarcely less interest; a fall of 120 
 feet in the Keepawa branch ; besides, 
 a number of inferior falls and rapids, 
 studded with saw mills, and the banks 
 in many places wild and rugged ; while 
 the river often expands into beautiful 
 lakes. The well known Falls of Mont- 
 morency, 7 miles below Quebec, with a 
 perpendicular descent of 240 feet ; the 
 Falls of the Chaudiere, on the S. side 
 of the St. Lawrence, 10 miles above 
 Quebec, with a perpendicular pitch of 
 125 feet down a deep chasm ; the beau- 
 tiful Falls of the St. Anne, on the N. 
 shore of the St. Lawrence, 22 miles 
 below Quebec ; and the Long Sault, 
 Cedars and Lachine rapids are all on 
 the fashionable route of tourists. But 
 the grandest river scenery is to be seen 
 on the Saguenay river, which enters the 
 St. Lawrence about 120 miles below 
 Quebec. The last 60 miles of its 
 course are exceedingly sublime. The 
 banks, varying in height from 500 to 
 1,500 feet, not only often perpendicular, 
 but absolutely overhanging the dark, 
 deep river below "as if to gaze at its 
 own rugged features." The precipi- 
 tancy continues below as well as above 
 the water, which has been found as 
 dee]) within 5 feet of the shore as in the 
 middle ; and near its mouth a line of 
 3,000 feet failed to reach the bottom.

 The depth in other parts varies from 
 100 to 1,000 feet. The upper part of 
 the Saguenay abounds in falls and 
 rapids. Excursions are made from 
 Montreal and Quebec to this river in 
 steamboats. The scenery on the N. 
 bank of the St. Lawrence alone is 
 worth the trip. 
 
 The Indian population of the province 
 of Quebec in 1871 was 8,657 — Nipis- 
 sings, Algonquins, Abenakis, Hurons, 
 Amalicites, Micmacs, Montagnais and 
 Nasquapees. 
 
 The province is said to have been 
 discovered by Sebastian Cabot in 1407; 
 but the first settlement made by Euro- 
 peans was in 1541, near Quebec, by 
 Jacques Cartier, a French naviga- 
 tor, who sailed up the St. Lawrence, 
 to which he gave its present name. 
 In 1G08, a permanent settlement was 
 made by the French upon the present 
 site of the city of Quebec. From this 
 period till 1759 the French continued 
 to occupy the country, though much 
 harassed by various tribes of Indians, 
 particularly the Iroquois ; but in the 
 year hut named an English army, 
 under General Wolfe, capt ired Quebec ; 
 and by September 8, 17*30, all other 
 places within the government of Cana- 
 da were surrendered to the British, and 
 the French power entirely anni- 
 hilated. In 1792 the province was 
 divided into Upper and Lower Can- 
 ada, but in 1840, after serious political 
 dissensions, they were reunited under 
 the name of the United Provinces of 
 Canada. In 18G7, they were again 
 separated, and under the names respec- 
 tively of Ontario and Quebec, form the 
 two most important provinces in the 
 Dominion of ( 'ana li. 
 
 QUEEN CHARLOTTE'S ISLANDS, 
 a group of islands in the Pacific Ocean, 
 off the coast of British Columbia, N. 
 of Vancouver Island, between lat. 52° 
 and 54 N, and Ion. 13P and 133^ W. 
 These islands form part of British 
 Columbia. They were first discovered 
 by the celebrated navigator Capt. Cook, 
 in 1778, and taken possession of by 
 Dixon in 1787 in the name of the British 
 Crown. The group consists of 2 large 
 islands and 2 smaller ones, lying in an 
 archipelago of islets. The 4 principal 
 ones, called Graham, Moresby, North 
 and Prescott, are divided merely by 
 narrow arm3 of the sea, and taken 
 
 together measure 180 miles in length 
 by 60 miles at greatest breadth. This 
 group is described as the Eden of the 
 North Pacific. The climate is so 
 delicious, caused in some degree by 
 the Heated river, or the Pacific Gulf 
 stream, that skirts the coast of Japan 
 and with a speed of 80 miles every 24 
 hours runs N. and washes the coast of 
 British Columbia. The Queen Char- 
 lotte Islands teem with various mineral 
 products. Gold bearing quartz of very 
 rich quality was extracted at a point 
 called Mitchell's Harbor, as far back as 
 1852. Copper and iron ores exist ; and 
 a fine vein of Anthracite coal, of a 
 superior quality, has been partially 
 wrought, but the working is at present 
 suspended for want of capital. These 
 islands are hilly, though not mountain- 
 ous ; the interior is clothed •n ith 
 magnificent forests of the finest tim- 
 ber ; the coasts are indented with 
 inviting harbours.

 ROCKY MOUNTAINS, called also 
 the CH1PPEWAVAN MOUNTAINS, 
 a chain in the central ana W part of 
 North America : c mmencing in New 
 Mexico, in about 32' 30 N. lat , near 
 Fort Webster, it extends nearly N.N W 
 throughout the N portion of the con 
 tinentand the Polar Ocean, terminating 
 W. of the mouth of the Mackenzie river 
 in lat 69-" N., Ion 135 : W This 
 range, in connection with the Andes, 
 of which it may be said to be a conti- 
 nuation, forms the longest, and, accord- 
 ing to Humboldt, the most uniform 
 chain of mountains on the globe 
 Somewhat more than half of the entire 
 chain belongs to North America, the 
 name, Rocky Mountains, being usually 
 applied to that portion only which is 
 comprised within the United States and 
 Dominion of Canada, although the 
 exact limit of this mountain range 
 towards the S. can scarcely be said to 
 be deiernrned. The entire length, 
 however, of the chain, fallowing the 
 windings, may be stated in round 
 numbers at 3,000 miles. The E. boun- 
 dary of the Rocky Mountains in lat. 38 D 
 N., is in 107° 20 W. Ion. ; in lat. 40 D 
 N., 108° 30' W. Ion.; in lat. G3° N., 
 124 D 40 W. Ion. ; in lat. 68° N., 130° 30 
 W. Ion. Notwithstanding this general 
 tending to the W., the continent 
 widens so much more in the same 
 direction that this chain, which, in 
 South and Central America, and 
 Mexico, is comparatively a coast range, 
 is several hundred leagues inland in 
 the United States and Canada. The 
 highest known peaks within the United 
 States are Fremont's, 13,570 fee', and 
 Pike'3 Peak, 11,497 feet high; and 
 
 Mount Brown and Mount Hooker, in 
 Canada, near 53 : N. lat., the former 
 about 10,000 and the latter 15,690 feet 
 above the sea level. We are very 
 imperfectly acquainted with this 
 system of mountains; the general alti- 
 tude of the range, however, is supposed 
 to vary from 10,000 to 14,000 feet; it is 
 said that peaks have been measured of 
 18,000 feet in elevation Prubably no 
 mountains ot the same altitude can be 
 so readily traversed as the Rocky Moun • 
 tain chain, owing to the great breadth 
 ot' its base and its gentle acclivity 
 Among the most remarkable ot the 
 numerous passes may be mentioned that 
 leading from the head waters of the 
 Athabasca to those ot the Colum- 
 bia between Mount Brown and Mouni, 
 Hooker, and called the Athabasca Por 
 tage , it has a height of 7 3u0 feet and 
 has only been used by the traders of 
 the Hudson's Bay Company a9 the prin- 
 cipal pass into the basin of Columbia. 
 Tue following are the measurement of 
 8 other passes in the Dominiou of 
 Canada: 
 
 1 Red Stone Creek or Boundary Pass from 
 
 Water ton River to the Kootauie . 6,030 
 feet above the sea. 
 
 2 British Kootauie Pass, bv Ramsay River 
 
 to the Kootauie. 5,960 "feet. 
 
 3. Crow's Nest Pass, by Crow River tj the 
 
 Kootanie • 
 
 4. Kananaski Pass, from Fort Bow by 
 
 Ramsay River to the Kootanie (with a 
 short tunuel 4,600 feet). 5,985 feet. 
 
 6. Vermillion Pass, from the Smith Sas- 
 
 katchewan by Fort Bow (4,100 feet) to 
 the Kootanie. 4.94" feet. 
 6 Kicking Horse Pass, by Bow River and 
 Kicking Horse River to tha Upper 
 Columbia. 5,420 feet. 
 
 7. Howse Pass, from Deer River bv Blue- 
 
 berrv River to the Upper Columbia. 
 6.347 feet. 
 
 5. Tete Jaune or Yellowhead Pass, from 
 
 the Athabasca to the Upper Fraser, 
 3,760 feet. 
 
 The principal pass on United States 
 territory is the South Pas.;, i i about 
 lat. 42° 30' N., and Ion. 109 3 30 W. 
 Its elevation is about 7,500 feet above 
 the sea. The Union Pacific R.ilroad 
 crosses the Rocky Mountains near the 
 sources of the Missouri and Columbia 
 at an elevation of about 6,000 feet 
 above the sea. Amid the valleys and 
 forges of this stupendous system of 
 mountains, some of the largest rivers 
 of the g'obe have their birth. Of these, 
 the Athabasca, Peace and Mackenzie

 find their outlet in the Polar Sea ; the 
 Saskatchewan in the Atlantic, through 
 Hudson's Bay; the Missouri and its 
 tributaries rind an exit in the Missis- 
 sippi while the Rio del Norte, the 
 Colorado and the Columbia take oppo- 
 site directions, the first through the val- 
 ley of New Mexico to the Gulf of 
 Mexico : the second through the deserts 
 of Utah to the Gulf of California; 
 While the last, from the N. bursting 
 through the Cascade aid coast ranges, 
 rushes lo join the mighty Pacitic, 
 bearing tne only wa;er that reaches that 
 Ocean directly from this range Of the 
 geological structure of the Rocky 
 Mountains little is as yet known. Vol- 
 canic rocks are known to exist in many 
 places en the slopes or sides Accord- 
 ing to the most recent reports there is. 
 between the heads of Madison Liver 
 and the upper waters of the Yel o\v> 
 stone, a volcanic region ot perhaps 100 
 square miles in extent. Hot springs are 
 found not only in this region, but in 
 various other places on the E. and 
 W declivities of the Rocky Mountain 
 range Near 42- 37 N lat. and li 1-45 
 TV. Ion., there are a number ot toun 
 tains the waters of which effervesce 
 witti the carbonic acid that they con- 
 tain From this circumstance they 
 have received the name of " Beer, or 
 Soda Springs The most remarkable 
 ef these throws up a jet d'eau of about 
 3 fe st high, accompanied with a sub- 
 terraneous noise, which, together with 
 the rushing of the water, resembles 
 the sound of a steamboat in motion 
 whence it has been termed the " Steam- 
 boatSpring." Inexhaustible coals fields 
 skirt the Rocky Mountains through 
 12 degrees of latitude, chiefly in British 
 terri'.orjr. The ro te of the Canadian 
 Pacific railway will be through this 
 coal district and will cross the Rocky 
 Mountains by the Yellowhead Pass

 ST. HELEN'S ISLAND, a beautiful 
 island in the St. Lawrence, opposite 
 the E. end of the city ot Montreal, for- 
 merly the property of the Barons of 
 Longueuil but now of the Crown. It is 
 about three quarters of a mile long by 
 one third of a mile broad, and is clothed 
 wiih tine trees. TliiB island was granted 
 by the King of France, to the Sieur le 
 Moine de Longueuil, on the 3rd of 
 November, 1G72. In May, 1771, 
 the Baroness de Longueuil man led 
 David Alexander Grant (gra ldfathcr 
 of the present Seigneur) and they lived 
 in Hi • family mansion, a splendid stone 
 edil.ee, with outbuildings and a large 
 gar u attached, on the souih bank • f 
 the ila id opposite Longueuil. In 1812 
 the British Government purchased St. 
 Helen's Island, with Isle Ronde and 
 Is! an Fraises, lor A'15,000, and the 
 Baronial residence was converted into 
 tin- officers' quart< rs. During the occu- 
 pation of the island by the Imperial 
 authorities (over 50 years) several 
 val able buildings were erected and 
 jiii I n>\\ merits of variouskinds effected: 
 It was tin- depot for valuable stores of 
 every kind for the Montreal district. 
 The grand magazine alone would 
 accommodate nearly G,000 barrels of 
 powder, wlnle expense magazines and 
 other b lildings could bo readily lilted 
 up for 6,000 more. The ordnance store 
 
 building next the river, opposite Molson'e 
 distillery, is of immense capacity, and in 
 good condition, ana will easily accom- 
 modate an equipment of six held bat- 
 teries of artillery; the armory un the 
 east side, built a short time before the 
 departure of the military, and 2 stories 
 high, is also of great capacity ; the 
 ground floor alone, in addition to 
 accommodation for powder, will hold 
 40,000 stand of arms. The iufa itry 
 barracks, with bomb proof kitchen and 
 Commissariat bakery, will easily 
 accommodate 7 or 8 officers and 100 
 men. At the northern extremity are 
 workshops and cottages for artificers 
 and laborers, a practice battery for a 
 floating target in Hochelaga bay, and 
 a good wharf with 10 feet alongside at 
 summer level. At the south or upper 
 end of the island there is a rifle range 
 of 500 yards with metal shields and 
 target, and a saluting platform battery 
 of 9 guns on the side facing the city. 
 There are still the remain; of an old 
 French redoubt at the south west point 
 opposite the city, and lines of e ltreneh- 
 ments on the opposite extremih facing 
 Hochelaga bay. The only works of 
 defence erected by the British Govern- 
 ment appear to have been two block 
 houses fori he ace inmodation of about 
 400 men, principally for usketry and 
 light guns on the top, a td the construc- 
 tion of a ditch and a parapet in front of 
 the soldiers' barracks opposite the city. 
 The block houses were built entirely of 
 wood, and being of little value in 
 modern warfare, have been allowed to 
 fall into decay and become useless. 
 The most elevated part of the island, 
 near the centre, is about 125 feet above 
 the datum line of the river adopted by 
 the Harbor Commissioners, and farther 
 northward, in rear of the ordnance 
 s'ore building, the site of one of the 
 old block houses is 100 feet above the 
 river datum line. St. Helen's Island has 
 been since its discovery a peculiar 
 object of attention and admiration. In 
 1G11 Samuel de Champlain contemplat- 
 ed settling upon it with his family, as 
 described in the Histoire de la (Jolonie 
 Fninraise en Canada, page 127, tome 1, 
 as follows : 
 
 " Proche de la Place Royale (Mon- 
 treal), ct an fleuve St. Laurent, il ren- 
 COntra une petite ile que sa situation et 
 elevation semblent avoir fortifiee natu-
 
 St. H

 St. H 
 
 relloment: et dang ses vues pour 
 t'avenir du Canada, il jugea qu'on 
 p'ourrait y batir une bonne et forte ville; 
 mais C3 qui est digne detention, il la 
 nomma Sainte Helene. sans donte 
 pour faire partager les avantages de 
 son futur etablissernent a Helene 
 Bouillee, son epouse, qui, par sa dot, 
 lui donnait le moyen d'en jetcr les 
 premiers fondements Car il est a 
 remarquer qu il ne donne le nom 
 de Ste Helene a aucune des lies sans 
 n ombre qu'd rencontra au-dessous 
 et dessus de Quebec, sinon a celle qui 
 etait a cote de la Place-Royale, oil il 
 avaitresolu de s'etablir.'" 
 
 It will thus be seen from the above 
 extract the opinion formed by Samuel 
 de Champlainof the natural features of 
 this island as a place of security and 
 defence, and there is every reason to 
 believe tha-t the early Jesuit mission- 
 aries sought refuge here from the fero- 
 cious attacks of the Iroquois, who 
 exceeded all other tribes of the Abori- 
 gines in savage and unrelenting barba- 
 rities in their treatment of European 
 settlers, and the Hurons and other 
 tribes disposed to be fricudly to the 
 stranger. It was also a depot foi pro- 
 visions, arms and stores, while settle- 
 ments were forming on the main land 
 St. Helen's Island is considered of great 
 importance by military men as a defence 
 of the commercial metropolis of the 
 Dominion The difficulty of approach 
 by an enemy is almost insurmountable 
 — the shallowness of the St Lawrence 
 in certain parts of the basin in front of 
 the city of .Montreal, and the force of 
 the current combined, render the pas- 
 sage intricate and difficult even to the 
 e cp Tie iced pilots of the steam ferry 
 - irs The difficulty of ace sss in 
 the a ti chann d between the i ilaud and 
 the in i nland is i I iter This 
 
 ben ' i ■ land is the property of the

 The thriv.ng suburb of Carleton, on 
 the opposite side of the harbor, is in- 
 cluded within the city corporation. 
 
 The harbor of St. John is capacious, 
 safe and never obstructed by ice. Its 
 entrance, about 2 miles S. of the city, 
 is protected by Partridge Island, on 
 which are a quarantine hospital and a 
 lighthouse, the lantern 166 feet above 
 the level of the sea. The passage W. 
 of the island has in it 10 feet of water, 
 that to the E. 16 feet, and abreast of 
 the city there are from 8 to 22 fathoms; 
 both sides of the entrance are com- 
 posed of sharp rocks, which become 
 dry at low water. About J of a mile 
 N. oftaelighthouseis a vertical beacon, 
 fixed oi the edge of a rocky ledge 
 winch forms the W. side of the channel 
 and has deep water close to it. On the 
 E. side of the channel, below the town, 
 a breakwater has been constructed to 
 intercept the violence of the waves, 
 occasioned by southerly gales. The 
 en'rance of the River St. John into the 
 harbor, about l.j miles above the city, 
 is through a rocky gorge, 90 yards 
 wide and 400 yards long, occasioning 
 very remarkable falls. The ordinary 
 rise of the tide in the harbor is 21 feet ; 
 at the vernal equinox it rises 25 feet. 
 At low water, the waters of the river 
 are about 12 feet higher than those of 
 the harbor, at high water the waters of 
 the harbor are 5 feet higher than those

 of the river, hence the phenomena of a 
 fall outwards and inwards at every 
 tide. Above the falls the tide seldom 
 rises more than 4 fret. When the waters 
 of the harbor and river are on a level 
 vessels can pass the falls, and this 
 can be effected only during a period of 
 15 or 20 minutes au each ebb and flow 
 of the tide At times of great freshets, 
 occasioned by the sudden meliing of 
 the snow, the tides do not rise to the 
 level of the river, and consequently it 
 is not possible for vessels to ascend the 
 fall. The depth of the fall is about 17 
 feet. Spanning the rocky gorge, about 
 100 feet above low water, is a magnifi- 
 cent suspension bridge 0*40 feet in 
 length. Number of dwellings in St. 
 John in 1872, 3,479. 
 
 St. John is the entrepot of a wide 
 extent of cotintiy, abounding in agri- 
 cultural resources, minerals and valu- 
 ble timber. I s admirable situation at 
 the mouth of one of the largest rivers 
 in North America, with a harbor open 
 all the year round, with regular steam 
 communication with all the main ports 
 of Nova Scotia, and the northern por- 
 tion of the United States, with first class 
 railways running from it in every 
 direction, with extensive maritime and 
 manufaciuring interests, ensures the 
 certainty of its becoming a city of the 
 greatest commercial importance. 
 
 St. John has manufactories of iron 
 castings, steam engines, machinery, 
 edge tools, nails, cotton and woollen 
 goods, boots and shoes, leather, wooden 
 ware, soap and candles, carriages, 
 locomotives, agricultural implements, 
 lumber, paper, sugar boxes, <&c. Its 
 most important branch of industry, 
 however, is shipbuilding. The number 
 of vessels built in 1872 was 74 (ions 
 28,!)14). 
 
 The number of arrivals at St. John 
 in 1872 was 1,562 (tuns 420,800). and 
 the clearances 1,527 (tons 45.', 907 ) 
 Total value of imports $57,534,099 ; ex- 
 port-; $3,650,181; viz., products of the 
 forest $2,007,831 ; of the fisheries $138,- 
 843; of the mines $27,182 ; animals and 
 their products $>75,544 ; agricultural 
 products $21,235; and manufactures 
 $5536,' 72, of which sugar boxes repre- 
 sent '1508,753. 
 
 Between GOO and 900 men are yearly 
 engaged iu the fisheries in theha;bor of 
 St. John. Salmon, shad, herrings, 
 
 alewives, halibut and haddock are taken 
 in large quantities. 
 
 The streets of St. John are lighted 
 with gas, and the city is well supplied 
 with water from a lake 4 miles in rear 
 of the city. 
 
 Tiie railway system of New Bruns- 
 wick centres at St. John. The great 
 Intercolonial connects the City with 
 Nova Sco ia and the Gulf of St. Law- 
 rence, and the European and North 
 American railway (consolidaied) con- 
 nects it with the United States. The 
 head offices of the former are at Moncton 
 and of the latter at Bangor, Me. 
 
 Although settlements have been 
 made in Acadia for many years no 
 mention is made of St. John until 1G04 
 when the French explorer, Champlain, 
 pilot of an expedition commanded by 
 M. de Monts, after coasting along the 
 shores of Nova Scotia, crossed the B.iy 
 of Fundy, a id discovered the magnifi- 
 cent river, which he named St. John. 
 At that time it was called by the 
 Aborigines, Otiangondy. No settle- 
 ment was made unLil 1635, when a 
 French nobleman named Charles St. 
 Etieune, Lord of Latour, commenced 
 the erection of apallisade fort opposite 
 Navy Island, in the harbor of St. J^hn. 
 De la Latour, having been appointed 
 Lieutenant General, lived here for a 
 long time with a large number of re- 
 tainers and soldiers, and traded in fura 
 with the Indians. But, having fallen 
 into disfavor with the French King, 
 was ordered to surrender his fort and 
 commission ; this he refused to do, and 
 an expedition under the command of 
 one D'Aulnay Charnisay, was sent out 
 in 1643 to eject him. D'Aulnay block- 
 aded the fort, but Latour, having got 
 assistance of men and ships from Gov- 
 ernor Winthrop, of Boston, drpve his 
 fleet back to Port Royal (now A ma- ' 
 polls, N.S.), where a number of his 
 vessels were driven ashore and des- 
 troyed. Again, in 1645, D'Aulnay 
 attacked the fort, and Latour, be : ng 
 nbsent w.th a number of his men, his 
 lady took command, and defended it 
 with so much skill and perseverance 
 that the fleet was compelled to with- 
 draw. Having roe-ived reinforce- 
 ments, D'Aulnay shortly afterwards 
 returned, and again attacked the fort 
 by land. After three days spent in 
 several unsuccessful attacks, a Swiss

 sentry, who had been bribed, betrayed 
 the garrison, and allowed the enemies 
 to scale the walls. Madame Latour per- 
 sonally headed her little band of fifty 
 men, and heroically attacked the in- 
 vaders ; but seeing how hopeless was 
 success, she consented to terms of 
 peace, afforded by D'Aulnay, if she 
 would surrender the fort. He, immedi- 
 ately upon getting possession, disre- 
 garded all the conditions agreed to, 
 hung the whole garrison, and compelled 
 this noble woman, with a rope around 
 her neck, to witness the execution ; 
 she, a few days afterwards, died of a 
 broken heart. In 1650, Latour re- 
 turned to St. John, and received from 
 the widow of D'Aulnay ,who had died in 
 the meantime, the possession of his old 
 fort. In 1653 they were married, and 
 he once more held peaceable control of 
 his former lands as well as those of his 
 deceased rival. In 1654 an expedition 
 was sent by Oliver Cromwell from 
 England, which captured Acadia from 
 the French, and Latour was once more 
 deprived of his property and possession. 
 In 1657, Acadia was ceded to France 
 by the treaty of Breda, but no settle- 
 ment of importance was made until the 
 year 1749, wh'*n a fort was built at the 
 mouth of the Nerepis river, about 10 
 miles from the city of St. John. In 
 1745, the French were again driven out 
 by the English ; and "in 1758, a garrison 
 was established at St. John, under the 
 command of Colonel Moncton. In 
 1764, the first English settlers came to 
 New Brunswick, but no permanent 
 settlement was made until 1783, whe i 
 the Royalists arrived and founded the 
 present city of St. John. It was 
 ere ted a town by Royal Charter in 
 L785.

 The harbor is one of the very best. It 
 is enclosed by two mountains, between 
 the E. points of which is the entrance, 
 called <; the Narrows," only 95 fathoms 
 wide in its narrowest part and 100 
 fathoms long. This entrance is defend- 
 ed by several batteries and fortifications, 
 and could be made impregnable. It 
 has 12 fathoms water in mid channel, 
 but only one vessel can pass at a time. 
 Within there is ample space for shipping 
 in good anchorage with perfect shelter. 
 There are no perceptible tides. A light 
 on Cape Spear is visible 30 miles at 
 sea ; there is also a harbor light. In 
 foggy weather an 18 pounder gun is 
 lii' 1 every half hour, enabling vessels 
 to e iter "the Narrows" at all times, tho 
 water being deep and the shore bold. 
 
 The town is situated on an acclivity, 
 and consists chiefly of one street, about 
 1.1 miles in length, rather irregularly 
 built, but containing many good shops 
 an 1 stores, the former mostly of stone. 
 The houses in tins part of the town are 
 small and mostly of brick, but in ihe 
 upper part they are of wood, and are 
 very awkardly disposed. St. John, 
 however, has, upon the whole, been 
 greatly improved since the great fire 
 of 1846, both as regards the style of 
 building ami the width and regularity 
 of the streets. It is lighted with gas 
 and well supplied with water brought 
 from a pond on an adjoining eminence 
 called Signal Hill.

 Here are the ruins of a Jesuit religious 
 establishment, which are considered 
 a great curiosity although nothing re- 
 mains but the foundations upon which 
 the ancient edifice rested. It isconfid- 
 dently asserted that upon this spot once 
 stood the first stone and mortar building 
 ever erect. 'd on the continent of Amer- 
 ica — the home of Father Marquette, who 
 subsequently explored the waters of the 
 Mississippi. From the very centre of 
 the ruins has grown up a cluster of pine 
 trees, which must have existed at least 
 two hundred years. The fate, and the 
 very names of those who first pitched 
 their tents in this wilderness, and there 
 erected an altar to the G<d of then 
 fathers, are alike unknown. Charlevoix, 
 in 1720, thus speaks of it: "Most of 
 our geographers have placed a town 
 here, where there never was but one 
 French house and some huts of sav- 
 ages, who resorted hither annually to 
 trade with the French when the navi- 
 gation was free ; the missionaries made 
 use of the opportunity, and when the 
 trade was over, the merchants reti rned 
 to their homes, the savages to their 
 forests, and the Gospel labourers fol-

 THE ISLAND OF ANTIC STI, lies 
 directly in the mouth of tl.e St. Law- 
 rence, between the 49th and 5o;h degrees 
 of latitude, nearly the same as that of 
 the north of France, an I contains an 
 area of 2,460,000 acres of land of the best 
 quality, similar says Sir William Logai, 
 the eminent Canadian geologist, to the 
 fine arable soil of Canada West, and the 
 Genesee County, New York State; it 
 possesses over 300 miles of sea coast, is 
 about 140 miles long, and 35 miles br( ad 
 in the widest part, with an average 
 breadth of 27-J- miles. 
 
 Anticosti is made mention of so long 
 ago as 1660, in the geogra] hical f lio 
 w irk of the celebrated !■ y'alist Dr. Peter 
 Heylyn, known as " Cosniographia." 
 11;' .says that the proper name for the 
 island is Natiscotee, which it is supposed 
 was corrupted by the Spaniar is, who 
 fished in and off the St. Lawrence at 
 that period, to its present appellation. 
 He reports that the island was then 
 held by a tribe of Indians, who were 
 exceedingly kind and friendly to 
 such mariners as landed there. The 
 fief of the island was granted by Louis 
 XIV, about 1080, to Sieur Louis Juliet, 
 as a recompense for his discovery of the 
 mouths of the Mississippi and the 
 Illi icis, and other services rendered 
 to his Government ; and it seems to 
 have been held of so little account in 
 its primitive state that here Charlevoix, 
 writing about 1722, in his "Histbiredu 
 Canada," says that Joliet " would, per- 
 haps, have preferred one of the smallest 
 lordships in France."' In La Houtan'a 
 " History of Canada," is a chart of the 
 St. Lawrence, and a plan of the island, 
 showing Juliet's Fort on the western 
 flank. La Iloutan was a French marine 
 officer, and he mentions that Joliet was 
 captured in his boat oil' the Island by
 
 THE 
 
 330 
 
 THE 
 
 the English expedition against Quebec, 
 in 1690, under Admiral Phips, but re- 
 leased after the failure of that expe- 
 dition. Mr. T. Aubu.y, who sailed with 
 General Burgiyne's army in 175(3, de- 
 votes three pages of his work, ''In- 
 terior Travels through America," to the 
 seal fisheries of An'.icosti, and the 
 method of catching the-e animals be- 
 tween the continent and the adjacent 
 islands. 
 
 So much for the early records of 
 Anticosti. When the feudal system 
 became abolished, which had long pre- 
 vailed under the French domination of 
 Canada, there bci ig no tenants on the 
 island, the seigueur,or lord of his manor, 
 became possessed of the whole soil in 
 fee simple, since which time it has been 
 held jointly by a vaiiety of persons, 
 chi' f amongst whom are the Forsyth 
 family. The title to this immense 
 possession s°ems to have been fully 
 acknowledged by the Parliament of Ca- 
 nada, as an act was passed during the 
 last Sfssion (in the spring of 1S73) in- 
 corporating a company to develope the 
 res mrees of the island. 
 
 Anticosti slopes gradually from its 
 elevated northern coast to the grassy 
 savanuas which skirt the southern 
 shore, and thus, in a great measure, the 
 fertile porti mi of the country are pro- 
 tected from sevtre winter winds. Its 
 climate is very health}', audit certainly 
 is not severer than that of the other 
 maritime provinces. The atmosphere 
 is pure and clear, and free from fogs 
 which are so frequent on and around 
 Newfoundland. The winter's cold is 
 considerably tempered by the waters of 
 the Gulf of St. Lawrence, and the heat 
 <^f summer is, to a certain extent, mode- 
 rated by the same i liluence. Vegetation 
 progresses very rapidly, and crops come 
 to perfection in good season. The soil 
 is of good quality, being a rich loam 
 intermixed with limestone; valuable 
 forests are Hi he found on the greater 
 part of the island, and although the 
 timber generally is not of the largest 
 size, it is cf a superior quality, and well 
 adapted f >r ship-buildiug. 
 Vriie fisheries around the island, which 
 have been hitherto comparatively neg- 
 lected, are valuable and important. 
 Speaking of them Commander Layoie, 
 of La Canadienne, in his report, in 1870, 
 to the Dominion Government, says : 
 
 " This island is beginning to be frequent- 
 ed and settled by hardy fishermen, 
 templed by the desire of participating 
 in its rich fisheries, which up to the last 
 few years were, comparatively, unex- 
 plored. . . . The importance and 
 value of its fisheries have increased 
 along with the number of fishermen. 
 The waters bordering on Anticosti are 
 stocked with the same kinds as are to 
 be met with on the south and north 
 coast of the St. Lawrence. " 
 
 In his report for last year 1 1872) Com- 
 mander Layoie says, " Large shoals of 
 herrings visit its shores about the same 
 time they repair to Pleasant Bay, Mag- 
 dalen Islands. A schooner, from Prince 
 Edward Island, caught last spring with 
 the seine 1,100 barrels of herrings in one 
 day.'' He goes on to say, " The whole 
 of Anticosti, abounds with fish of all 
 sorts, but harbors are scarce, even for 
 fishing boats. Codfish on this coast 
 are all large, and no liner ares en even 
 on the Miscou and Orphan Ca iks." The 
 number of fishermen frequenting its 
 banks increases every year. Even when 
 codfish was a lailure everywhere else in 
 the Gull, it did not fail at Anticosti. 
 Halibut are so plentiful that 199 barrels 
 were taken in one day. 
 
 The seal fishery, which could be 
 carried on here as well in winter as in 
 summer, might be turned to profitable 
 account, large numbers of tliese animals 
 being visible during the former season, 
 and thousands of them being observed 
 in the summer and autumn at the 
 entrance of almost all the bays and 
 rivers,where they remain comparatively 
 unmolested. 
 
 Hunting on the island is of consider- 
 able value, though of far less import- 
 ance than its fisheries. The animals, 
 whose skins are of marketable value, 
 which are found on the island, are black 
 bears, which are very abundant, otters, 
 martens, and the silver, grey, red, black, 
 and, sometimes, the white fox. Great 
 quantities of ducks, geese, and other 
 wild fowl resort to the lakes and the 
 bays of the island. 
 
 There are numerous natural harbor3 
 round the coast, which are compara- 
 tively safe in all winds— Ellis Bay and 
 Fox Bay being especially so. The 
 former is distant about eight miles from 
 \\ est End Lighthouse on the south 
 side, the latter is fifteen miles from
 
 THE 
 
 331 
 
 THE 
 
 Heath Point Lighthouse on the north 
 side. Ellis Bay is two miles in breadth. 
 with deep w tcr three-founhs of a mile 
 from shore, but only with from three to 
 four ratboms in shore. Fox Bay is 
 smaller, the distance across its mouth 
 is only one mile and a half, with deep 
 water in the centre, extending up the 
 bay nine-tenths of a mile, but shoaling 
 near the shores of it; the whole length 
 of the bay being one mile and two- 
 tenths. .Mr. Gamache, who has resided 
 at Ellis Bay for upwards of (went; -fiv i 
 years, states the harbor to be perfectly 
 secure in all winds and at all periods. 
 A gentlemen from England, in 18f>3, a 
 member of Lloyd's,who visited the island 
 to inspect a vessel which had been 
 wrecked on the coast, declared he con- 
 sidered the harbor a " most excellent 
 one," so much so that he should, on his 
 return to England, make it especially 
 known at Lloyd's, and added further, 
 that there are many places in England, 
 and other countries, carrying on large 
 maritime commerce, which have not got 
 so deep, so spacious or so safe a harbor 
 as Ellis Bay. This gentleman had been 
 three times round the world as captain 
 ot an East Indiaman. 
 
 The excellent position of Anticosti in 
 regard to ships, commerce, etc., is easily 
 seen, when we remember that every 
 vessel must take one or other of the 
 channels formed by the island, whether 
 having passed from the Atlantic, or in- 
 tending to pass to the ocean through 
 the straits of Belle Isle, through the 
 more frequented passage between New- 
 foundland and Oape Breton, or through 
 the Gut of Canso, or whether running 
 between Quebec and those portions of 
 Canada and of the maritime provinces 
 lying on the Gulf of tit. Lawrence. 
 Vessels taking either of the channels 
 formed b\ the position of the island 
 must pass close to the island in con- 
 sequence of the comparative narrowness 
 of the northern one, and of the strong 
 southeast current which always runs 
 along the southern channel. To avoid 
 this, and the risk of being driven on the 
 rock-bound coast of the south shore of 
 the Gulf and river, vessels generally 
 stand out till they make the West Point 
 of Anticosti, close 10 Ellis Bay. The 
 inner anchorage of this bay has a depth 
 of from three to four fathoms at low 
 water, with very excellent holding 
 
 ground (gravel and mud) ; the outer 
 portion of the anchorage could be ma- 
 terially improved at a trilling expense, so 
 as to be able to contain in salety, during 
 all winds, almost any number of vessels 
 of the largest size. If docks were con- 
 structed at Ellis' Bay, wiih a patent 
 slip, it would be an admirable position 
 for the repair of vessels stranded or dam- 
 aged throughout the Lower St. Law- 
 rence 1 , many of which are now broken 
 up by the sea or dismantled by w r rcekers 
 b fore assistance can be obtained from 
 Quebec. For steam tugs employed for 
 the relief of vessels in distress, this 
 might be made an excellent station; 
 here, also, a few steamers or gunboats 
 could command the two entrances to 
 the river, or send out from this con- 
 venient and cen'ral spot cruisers to any 
 part of the Gulf. 
 
 The establishment of depots of coal 
 at Ellis Bay and Fox River would be an 
 advantage the importance of which it 
 would be hard to estimate, coal being 
 easy procurable from ova Scotia, and 
 laid down at either harbor at a cost 
 not exceeding Lorn $3.50 to $4 per 
 ton. Considering the fact that upwards 
 of 2,000 vessels annually arrive from 
 Eur »pe in the season, besi les a large 
 licet of coasting and ashing vessels, all 
 of which must pass within sight of the 
 island, some idea can be formed of the 
 importance to be attached to the posi- 
 tion and capabilities of these harbors 
 for commercial purposes. 
 
 The company which has been formed 
 for the purpose of colonizing the island 
 of Anticosti, and for working and de- 
 veloping its resources, propose to lay 
 out town sites at Ellis Bay, Fox Bay, 
 and at the South West Point. The 
 chief town will be at Ellis Bay, where 
 the principal place of business will 
 be established. The beautiful situa- 
 tion of the first of these places, 
 with its bracing sea-air, must eventu- 
 ally make it a resort for thou- 
 sands of pleasure-- •■ leers, since sea- 
 l athing could there be combined with 
 many other summer sports and amuse- 
 ments. The capital of the company is 
 §2,500,000, divided into 25,000 shar ; s of 
 $100 each. The island is to be divided 
 into twenty counties, of about 12 1,000, 
 acres each, sub-divided into five town- 
 ships- It is further proposed, to lay a 
 submarine telegraph cable to connect
 
 THE 
 
 332 
 
 THE 
 
 the island with the mainland ; to build 
 saw-mills and grist-mills, establish a 
 bank and a general hospital, churches 
 and schools, and to establish, moreover, 
 five fishing stations, in different parts of 
 the island, where temporary buildings 
 are to be erected for curing and drying- 
 fish. 
 
 Operations and improvements of such 
 a kind have everywhere had the most 
 bene. ici il result upon the industry, 
 wealth and progress of the country in 
 which they were attempted, and with 
 the great resources and favourable 
 geographical position of the Island of 
 Anticosti, there is no reason to doubt 
 that they will be attended there with 
 similar results. 
 
 Sir William E. Logan, in his Geo- 
 graphical Report of Canada, after refer- 
 ing to deposits of peat, or peat-bogs, in 
 different parts of Canada, says: " The 
 most extensive peat deposits in Canada 
 are found in Anticosti, along the low 
 land on the coast of the island from 
 Heath P tint to within eight or nine 
 miles of South West Point. The thick- 
 ness of the peat, as observed on the 
 coast, was f om three to ten feet, and it 
 appears to be ot an excellent quality. 
 The height of this plain may be, on an 
 iaverago, fifteen feet above high water 
 mark, and it can be easily drained and 
 worked. Between South West Point 
 and the west end of the Island there 
 are ma y \ eat-bogs, varying in supi r- 
 ficiesfrom 100 to 1,000 acres." 
 
 Near South West Point there are 
 sever .1 larg ■ salt ponds, which, if labor 
 was abundant, might be turned toapro- 
 fitabl ■ are unit m the manufacture of 
 salt, a manufacture which would 
 bee ae of some value to a great p .rt of 
 our North American fisheries, which, as 
 well is the greater part of Canada, arc 
 now supplied with salt from the Baha- 
 mas, and from England or the United 
 Sti • ■-■ ; and for curing fish and 
 provisions, bay salt, formed from the 
 Bea end from salt ponds, is the most 
 valuable. In consequence of there not 
 having been a sufficient supply of salt 
 upon the island, an immei.-e 
 quantity of fish ca ight at Anticosti a 
 year or two ag > wi re rend red usel tss. 
 Thi was alluded to by Commander 
 Lavoie, of "La Oanaaienne," in his 
 re] 1,1, where he says thai 
 
 11 fishing was abundant this season, the 
 
 yield being reckoned at 9,500 quintals 
 of cod, . . . but the greatest 
 drawback arose from the difficulty 
 experienced in cming fish, from the 
 want of salt ' Some of the Bahama 
 Islands are retained merely on account 
 of the salt ponds which they contain, 
 and in Ceylon a large revenue is deri- 
 ved from the salt works carried on in 
 that island. 
 
 In Commander Lavoie's report fjr 1872, 
 quoted from before, he says that geolo- 
 gists and ethers who have visited the 
 interior of the island, agree in slating 
 that it, soil is rich, and that more than 
 one million acres can be cultivated with 
 advantage. Clearances have already 
 been made at Gamache (Ellis' Bay), at 
 South West and at West Point, where 
 vpgetables and grains ef the district of 
 Montreal and Quebec flourish. Stories, 
 however, of the numerous wrecks that 
 have occurred on iheshcreoi'Anticosti 
 have spread such terror that up to 1861 
 nobody had thought of settling there. 
 The reefs of fiat limestone, extending, 
 in some parts, to one mile and a quarter 
 from the shore ; the want of anchorage 
 of a great portion of the ccast, and, 
 above all, the frequent fogs, justify this 
 belief, in part, but notm so great a 
 degree as lo render reasonable the dread 
 with which they seem to have been re- 
 garded, and which can only have arisen 
 from the natural tendency to magnify 
 dauger, of winch we have no precise 
 knowledge. 
 
 Four lighthouses are erected on Anti- 
 costi ; one on Heath Point, at the east 
 end of the island ; another at South 
 West Point, the third on West Point ; 
 and the fourth at South Point, at Bagot's 
 Bluff. Teat on Heath Point is around 
 tower, built of a grayish white lime- 
 stone, quarried on the island, and is 
 ninety feet high. It shows, at an 
 elevation of L10 feet above the level of 
 high water, a fixed white light, which 
 in clear weather should be visible from 
 a distance of fifteen mile*. 'I he light- 
 house on South West Point is built of 
 the same stone as the previous one, 
 quarried on the spot, is seventy-five 
 feet high, and of the usual c mical form, 
 exhibits a white light, which revolves 
 every three minutes, and is visible at 
 fifteen miles, with the eye ten feet 
 above the sea; with the eye at fifty 
 feet, it can bs seen nineteen and a-half
 
 THE

 THE 
 
 mile?, and with the eye at an elevation 
 of 10 t feet, it will be risible about twen- 
 ty-three miles. The t ird lighthouse, 
 
 ed mi the West Point of Anticosti, 
 is a circular stone tower, faced with 
 firebrick, 109 feet in height. It exhibits, 
 at 11- feel above high water mark, a 
 
 hied wh't 'li/iit, \ sb ; e from i distance 
 of fifteen m les. A gun is lired every 
 hour during focj and snow-storms. The 
 lighthouse at South Point is a compar- 
 atively new building, the light having 
 been first exh bi ted in August, 1870. It 
 is a hexagonal tower, painted white, 
 seventy-live feet above high-watnr 
 mark, with a revolving white flashlight 
 every twenty seconds. It should be 
 seen at from fourteen to eighteen miles 
 distanc ', and is visible from all points 
 of approach. A powerful steam fog- 
 whistle is also stationed there, about 
 300 feet east of the lighthouse. In 
 foggy weather, and during snow-storms, 
 this is sounded ten seconds in every 
 minute, thus making an interval of 
 fifty seconds between eaeli blast, which 
 can be heard in calm weather, or with 
 the wind, from nine to fifteen miles dis- 
 tanc, and in stormy weather, or against 
 the wind, from three to eight miles. 
 The lights are exhibited from the 1st of 
 April to the 20th of December of each 
 year. 
 
 Provision depots are also established 
 on the island for the relief of wrecked 
 crews. The first of those is at Ellis 
 Bay, the second at the lighthouse at the 
 South West Point; the third which was 
 formerly at Shallop Creek (Jupiter 
 River , was this year removed toSouth 
 Point, where the new lighthouse and 
 steam fog-whistle have been located, 
 and the fourth at the lighthouse on 
 Heath Point. Dircc:ion boards are 
 erected on the shore, or nailed to trees, 
 from which the branches have been 
 lopped off, near the beach, and on 
 various points of the coa-t. These 
 boards are intended to point out to 
 shipwrecked persons the way to the 
 provision posts. 
 
 V s ■ 1 : are more frequently lost on 
 Anticosti in the bad weather, at the 
 close of navigation, than it any other 
 time, and their crews would perish 
 from want and the rigours of a Cana- 
 dian winter, if it were not for this 
 humane provision, made by Govern- 
 mental the absence of settlements on 
 
 the island. As, however, the popula- 
 tion begin to increase, and dwellings 
 become scattered about, there will be 
 the less urgent need for these depots. 
 
 The currents around the Island of 
 Anticosti are very variable and uncer- 
 tain, and to this cause may be attribu- 
 ted many of the shipwrecks that have 
 from time to time occurred there. A the 
 north point of the island there is a cur- 
 rent almost always setting ov r to the 
 north-east, being turned m that u'.rec- 
 tionby the west end of the island. Con- 
 fined as it is, within a narrow channel, 
 it is very strong. All alo ig the south 
 coast, between the south- we, t and west 
 points, the swell and the current both 
 set in shore, and the bottom beng of 
 clean flat limestone, will not hold an 
 anchor, it is also by no means uncom- 
 mon in summer for the breeze to die 
 away suddenly to a calm. 
 
 The tide around the island only rises 
 from four to seven feet. 
 
 It not unfrequently hapnens that 
 when the current from the northward is 
 running, another from W.N.W. comes 
 along the south coa>t, in which case 
 they meet at a reef oil' Heath Point, and 
 cause a great ripple or irregular break- 
 ing sea. This takes place when a fresh 
 breeze is blowing along the land on 
 either side of the island. A wind has 
 been observed on the north side from 
 N. or N.E., whilst that on tin south 
 side was W.N.W., and yet never meet- 
 ing round the east end of the island. 
 Between the two winds there is usually 
 a triangular space of calm, and light 
 baffling airs, extending from live°to 
 eight miles. In the space between the 
 winds there is olten observed a high 
 cross sea, and constantly changing light 
 air-, which would leave a vessel at the 
 mercy of the current, and m great 
 danger of being set on the Heath Point 
 reef. 
 
 Streams of excellent water descend 
 to the sea on every part of the coasts 
 of Anticosti. They are f r the most 
 part too small to admit, boats, Incom- 
 ing rapid immediately w thin iheir 
 entrances, and even the' largest of \h ;n 
 are barred with sand, excepting for 
 short intervals of time, after the -i>ring 
 floods, or after conti med heavy rains. 
 
 There s no doubt that, in a very few 
 years there will be a numerous ; o il- 
 lation on the island, as applications for
 
 TIIO

 THO 
 
 land are being constantly received by 
 th> Auticosti Company, and the survey 
 is being pressed forward with all practi- 
 cable speed. Had the island been thrown 
 open for setth ment years ago, it would 
 be in a very dilfvrent position, commer- 
 cially speaking, from what it now 
 is; but once opened, and found to 
 be equally productive with the mari- 
 time provinces and Prince Edward 
 Island, there is no reason why in a few 
 decades it should not rival the latter. 
 For long neglected and discarded, An- 
 ticost; now has a chance of prominence, 
 and the Dominion will hail the advent 
 of another link in her chain, which, 
 though it may never assume the title 
 now borne by Prince Edward Island, 
 " the gem of the Gulf," may yet prove as 
 valuable a jewel in the diadem of Con- 
 federation.

 The bay is entered by a narrow- 
 opening, and is separated from the 
 lake b_v a low peninsula about 6 miles 
 long, enclosing a beautiful basin 1£ 
 miles in diameter, forming a safe and 
 well sheltered harbor, capable of con- 
 taining a large number of vessels. 
 The peninsula is called Pleasure Island 
 or Gibraltar Point, and is a favorite 
 resort during the summer months. 
 
 The site of the town is low but rises 
 gently from the waters' edge, — the ob- 
 servatory being 108 feet above the Lake. 
 The streets generally cross each other 
 at right angles, some almost running 
 parallel with the bay, and intersected 
 by others which have a N. and 8. 
 direction, inclining slightly to the \\\, 
 the whole forming nearly a parallelo- 
 gram. 
 
 The principal streets running E. and 
 W. in the denser portions of the city 
 are Front, King, Richmond, Adelaide 
 and Que n streets ; and of the cross 
 streets, STonge, Church, Bay, and York 
 streets. King and Yonge streets are the 
 thoroughfares, and contain the largest 
 number of stores. 
 
 The city generally is built of a light 
 colored brick, of a soft, pleasing tint. 
 
 The public buildings of the city are 
 substantial in workmanship, and some of 
 them beautiful in archictectural design. 
 Many of the stores, especially the 
 wholesale stores, and private dwell- 
 ings, are quite palatial in their out- 
 ward aspect and interior structure. 
 It is the seat of Law and Provin- 
 cial Government, and the headquarters 
 of the Educational Department of 
 Ontario. The principal buildings in 
 connection with these are Osgoode 
 Hall, a fine classic structure, contain- 
 sng all the Superior Law Courts of 
 the province ; the Parliament buildings, 
 of plain exterior, but with handsomely 
 decorated and furnished legislative 
 chamber, and well equipped Govern- 
 ment offices ; the Lieut.-Governor's 
 residence, a princely mansion; the 
 Normal School buildings, of Italian 
 design, containing offices and deposi- 
 taries of the Council of Public Instruc-

 tion ; two model schools ; one model 
 grammar school and educational 
 museum. There are several handsome 
 common and grammar schools. In 
 connection with higher education there 
 is the University of Toronto, one of 
 the finest buildings on the continent of 
 America, and reckoned second to none 
 on this side the Atlantic as a seat of 
 learning. It is of Norman architecture 
 in its principal features, with massive 
 tower and richly sculptured doorway 
 for its main entrance. It is beau- 
 tifully situated at the western side 
 of the Queen's Park, a noble public 
 park for the recreation of the citizens, 
 whose spacious avenues are ornamen- 
 ted with rows of stately trees. In 
 the centre of the Park is a finely 
 modelled and well executed bronze 
 statue of Her Majesty Queen Victoria, 
 by Marshall Wood, England, and a 
 short distance from this there is a 
 monument, erected in honor of those 
 Toronto Volunteers who sacrificed 
 their lives in defence of their coun-

 VANCOUVER, or QUADRA A\D 
 VANCOUVER, an island off the W. 
 coast of the Dominion of Canada, 
 province of British Columbia. Lat. 
 48° 19' to 50 53 N.. Ion. 123" 1 7 to 128 
 28' W. Length from N.W. to S E. 
 278 miles; breadth varying from 50 to 
 65 miles. Total area 15,037 square 
 miles (about half the size of Ireland). 
 On the E. and X.E. it is separated from 
 British Columbia by the Gulf of Geor- 
 gia and Queen Charlotte's Sound, and 
 on the S. from that of the United 
 States by the Strait of San Juan-de- 
 Fuca; ci the N. and W. it lies open to 
 the North Pacific This Island was 
 discovered by Juan de Fuca, a Greek, 
 in 1592. Captain Cook coasted along 
 the western shore iu 1 778, and supposed 
 it to form part of the mainland. The 
 first British settlement was made at 
 Nootka Sound in 1778, by some London 
 merchants. Spain, however, bid claim 
 to the west coast of America, south of 
 60", and her cruisers seized the British 
 trading vessels. To resent this a large 
 fleet was assembled at Spithead but 
 war was avoided by the concession of 
 Spain. In 1792 the island was visited 
 by Vancouver, a lieutenant in the Bri- 
 tish Navy, who minutely surveyed the 
 whole coast line, and so accurately, 
 that his charts are in use to the present 
 day. Up to the discussion of the Ore- 
 gon boundary question it attracted little 
 attention, when, by the treaty of 1846, 
 it was vested in Great Britain. In 1849 
 it was granted to the Hudson's Bay 
 Company for the purposes of coloniza- 
 tion, but their control ceased in 1859, 
 when the island became a British 
 Colony, under a complete form of 
 government. In 1866 the Island and 
 the mainland were united under the 
 name of British Columbia, and so 
 continued until I he 20th of July, 1871, 
 at which date that large and beautiful 
 colony became one of the provinces of 
 the Dominion of Canada. Vancouver 
 Island is noted for its rich coal mines, 
 its magnificent harbors, its valuable 
 free stone quarries, its delightful cli- 
 mate, and its forests of fine timber. 
 Gold has also been found but in 
 
 small quantity. Victoria, at the S.E. 
 extremity of the Island, is the capital 
 of British Columbia.

 VICTORIA, the seat of Government 
 and capital of British Columbia, is sit- 
 uated near the S.E. extremity of Van- 
 couver Island, where the adjoining 
 Strait of Fuca is 17 miles in breadth, 
 143 miles from ( Mympia(Puget'sSound ), 
 320 miles from Portland (Oregon),3,000 
 miles from Montreal. Lat. 48° 25' 20" 
 N., Ion. 123- 22 34 W. 
 
 The surroundings of Victoria are 
 singularly beautiful. To the south is a 
 wide stretch of sea, closed in by the 
 magnificent range of the Olympian 
 mountain's. These mouutains, the lower 
 portion of which is shaded with a soft 
 velvety mist, and the tops covered with 
 snow strongly reflecting the rays of the 
 sun, form the most prominent feature 
 in the landscape. To the eastward is 
 Mount Baker, which, at a distance of 
 nearly 100 miles, rears its snowy peak 
 far away into the clouds. To the west- 
 ward is a long wide stretch of sea, 
 bounded on one side by the Olympian 
 range and on the other by the rocks 
 and mountains of Vancouver, jutting 
 out here and there into the Strait ; 
 while to the northward are ranges of 
 hills and mountains, prominent amongst 
 which, and within 5 or 6 miles of the 
 town, are the peaks of Mount Tolmie 
 and Cedar Mountain. From these 
 
 heights the most beautiful panoramic- 
 views of the southern end of the Island, 
 the surrounding ocean, the Olympian 
 range and the coast ra ige on the main- 
 land far away to the westward may be 
 obtained. 
 
 The country in the neighbourhood of 
 Victoria is remarkably picturesque. Na- 
 tural parks— in which there are num- 
 bers of fine old oaks, and a profusion of 
 ferns and wild roses, little inlets, bays, 
 and beaches, jutting rocks, and the fine 
 sceuery of the back-ground combine to 
 render it one of the most lovely spots 
 on the earth. This, together with its 
 magnificent climate, which is beauti- 
 fully clear, cool and fresh during the 
 whole summer season, and very mild 
 in winter, must in the future render it 
 a place of great resort. 
 
 Three miles from Victoria is the har- 
 bor of Esquimault, one of the finest 
 on the Pacific coast, and the western 
 terminus of the Canada Pacific rail- 
 way. There is here a naval station, at 
 which there are generally two or three 
 ships of war. A graving dock is in 
 contemplation, capable of admitting 
 ships of the largest size, tenders for the 
 construction of which have been invited 
 by the Provincial Government. An 
 excellent macadamized road connects 
 the two harbors. 
 
 The city boasts of some good streets, 
 with fine drives, over excellent roads, in 
 various directions. Adjoining the town 
 a large extent of ground has been reserv- 
 ed for a public park. This picturesque 
 locality, known as Beacon Hill, borders 
 on the Strait. Here is the public race 
 course, and cricket ground. On the 
 outskirts of the town are many attrac- 
 tive residences ; and every cottage dis- 
 plays its pretty garden. 
 
 Though Victoria can boast of no 
 architectural pretensions, there are 
 many neat and substantially con- 
 structed buildings, among them maybe 
 mentioned the Provincial offices on 
 James' Bay; the Presbyterian, Wesley- 
 an and Roman Catholic churches; a 
 Jewish Synagogue ; Christ Church Ca- 
 thedral; the iron church of St. John, a 
 donation to the Episcopalian congrega- 
 tion of the Province from the Baroness 
 Coutts; the Angela College for young 
 ladies, from the same excellent lady; 
 the St. Anne's Convent and Orphan 
 School; the Masonic Building; the Me-

 chauics Institute,Bank of British North 
 America, the St. Nicholas hotel, Al ham- 
 bra, and Driard House, a public Hos- 
 pital, and a Theatre. Various public 
 buildings are to be erected by the Do- 
 minion Government. 
 
 Two daily and two weekly news- 
 papers are published in Victoria. 
 
 The city is adequately supplied with 
 gas by an incorporated company ; and 
 with water, by pipes laid down by 
 another company, supplemented by 
 carts— the source of supply being cer- 
 tain springs on a ridge near the town. 
 A bill has passed the last session of the 
 legislature authorizing the Municipal 
 Council to bring water from a bike,

 acres here. It appears as Windsor on 
 
 irlier maps of Upper Canada, on 
 whieh the bay is also marked Windsor 
 Bay, and sometimes Big Bay. Mr. Scad- 
 dine- called the place Windsor, not from 
 the famous royal city on the Thames, 
 bul from a small landed estate of that 
 name, possessed by him and his ■■fore- 
 bears" for some generations, at Luppit 
 in Devonshire. The name wa- a 
 to Whitby in later years, confusion in 
 the post office and "elsewhere having 
 arisen, through the existence of another 
 Canadian Windsor in bhe west. If the 
 modesty of the first projector of Whitby 
 had not finally forbade the adoption of 
 the suggested "Scaddington" or i: Scad- 
 dingfiela" as the title of the infant 
 town, it is probable thai such would 
 
 been at this day the name of the 
 place. Mr. John Scadding died in l s '24 
 on his farm on the Don, near York (To- 
 ronto), leaving three sons, John, Char- 
 les, and Henry, after each of whom a 
 street in Windsor was named The 
 latter is rector of Holy Trinity, To-

 ARCTIC OCEAN, (named from the 
 Greek word Arctos, the " Bear," the con- 
 stellation of which is principally inclu- 
 ded within the celestial Arctic Circle), 
 that portion of the Northern Sea extend- 
 ing from the Arctic Circle to the North 
 Pole. The Arctic Ocean enters deeply, 
 in the form of gulfs, bays, &c, into 
 the N. parts of the continent of Europe, 
 Asia and America. The chief of these 
 indentations are the White Sea, in 
 Europe; Sea of Kara, Gulfs of Obi 
 and Yenisei in Siberia; and Baffin's 
 Bay in North America. It is united 
 to the Pacific by Behring's Straits, 
 and to the Atlantic by a wide sea 
 extending from Greenland on the W. 
 to Norway and Lapland on the E. 
 This portion of the Arctic Ocean con- 
 tains one of the largest archipelagos 
 oa the globe. The middle of it is oc- 
 cupied by Greenland, and on the E. is 
 an exte isive group of islands known 
 under the name of Spitzbergen, the 
 small island of Jan Mayen, and Iceland. 
 
 West of Greenland, and divided from 
 it by Davis's Straits and Biffin's Bay, 
 there are a number of islands of great 
 size belonging to the Dominion of Can- 
 ada. The regions embraced by the 
 more restricted limits of the Arctic 
 Ocean (namely, from lat. 70° N.,) are, 
 perhaps, the most dreary and desolate 
 on the face of the globe. Their shores 
 are covered with eternal snows, and the 
 entire surface of their seas with large 
 fields and huge masses of floating ice, 
 in perpetual motion, and whose con- 
 stant and tremendous collisions are 
 attended with the most appalling 
 sounds. Dense fogs, violent storms, 
 and endless nights add to the horror of 
 the scene. There is but one month in 
 the year (July) in which snow does not 
 fall. The Arctic Ocean freezes even in 
 summer ; and, during the eight winter 
 months, a continuous body of ice ex- 
 tends in every direction from the pole, 
 tilling the area of a circle between 
 3,000 and 4,000 miles in diameter. Some 
 of the masses of ice that line the shores 
 of this ocean, extend many miles in 
 length, and present sea fronts of 200 
 feet in height ; while fields of ice 20 or 
 30 miles in diameter, and from 10 to 40 
 feet in thickness, are frequent, and 
 sometimes extend over 100 miles so 
 closely packed together that no open- 
 ing is left between them. They are 
 also found to have a violent rotary mo- 
 tion, by which they are dashed against 
 one another with tremendous force. The 
 icebergs, of which vast numbers are 
 seen floating about, vary from a few 
 yards to miles in circumference, and 
 rise to several hundreds of feet in 
 height. The ice in these regions is very 
 transparent, and compact, and remark- 
 able for the variety and beauty of its 
 tint. The water of the Arctic Ocean 
 is extrem ly pure, shells being distinct- 
 ly visible at a depth of 80 fathoms. The 
 first attempt to navigate this sea was 
 made in 1500. From 1745, England, 
 anxious to find out a shorter passage 
 to her East India possessions than 
 round by the Cape of Good Hope, des- 
 patched successive expeditions to the 
 northern coast of America, and offered 
 a reward of £20,000 to the successful 
 discoverer of a north-west passage. At 
 length, in 1852, Sir Robert McClure 
 made this passage. Sir John Franklin 
 attempted the passage in 1845-46, but

 neither himself or crew ever returned. 
 In 1857-59 Sir Leopold McClintock 
 found at King William's Island a record 
 of his death and of his lost expedition. 
 ARM LAKE, a lake 3 miles in length 
 on the Kenogami-sibi river, North West 
 Territories, north of Lake Superior. 
 
 ARNOLD, a river of Quebec, rises in 
 the township of Woburn, co. of Comp- 
 ton, and enters the southern extremity 
 of Lake Meganlic. It derives its name 
 from General Arnold, who, in 1775, 
 passed part of his troops down it when 
 conducting his army to Quebec to co- 
 operate with the forces of Gen. Mont- 
 gomery in the reduction of that city. 
 
 AROOSTOOK, an important tribu-

 ASHUAPMOUCHOUAN, or CHA- 
 MOUCHOUAN, a large river of Quebec, 
 rises in the highlands separating the 
 wa ter sheii of the rivers flowing into the 
 St. Lawrence from those flowing into 
 Hudson's Bay, §0 miles N.E. of Metis- 
 can, and running S.B. enters the W. 
 Side of Lake Si. John, lat. 48° 39 N , 
 Ion. 72 10 W. Length about 170 
 miles. In its course it receives the 
 tributary waters of the Sheeoubiah, 
 Roc, e Coupe and Salmon rivers. Its 
 navigation is obstructed by falls and 
 cascades. The valley ot the Ashuap- 
 mouchouan differs but little from thai 
 around Lake St. John, being underlaid 
 Willi clay, which forms an excellent 
 soil. All kiudd of grain and many 
 vegetables yield well. Towards the 
 36th mile sand hills predominate, 
 
 rendering the land less fit for tillage. 
 The Shecoubish liver enters it 58 miles 
 from Lake St. John, and 23 miles fur- 
 ther it receives La Loche brook. A 
 little above the 92ud mile it divides 
 into two branches. One of these comes 
 from the N.N.E., and being the larger 
 is called by the Indians the Chief 
 River. The other branch retains the 
 name of the Ashuapmouchouan. 24 
 miles up is Lake Ashuapmouchouan. 
 From here to its source the river is 
 called the Nikoubau. 
 
 ASHUAPMOUCHOUAN, ("The In- 
 dians Ambush," or " The place where 
 the Elk is laid wait for,") a lake of 
 Quebec, 150 miles W. of Lake St. John. 
 Lat. 49- 27' N., Ion. 73 55' W. Length 
 10 miles ; average breadth 4 miles. It 
 receives the waters of several large 
 lakes, and has its outlet in the River 
 Ashuapmouchouan. At the N.E. ex- 
 tremity of the Lake, 147 miles N. of 
 Montreal, is a Hudson Bay Company's 
 trading post. There are good sized 
 trees around the lake, and fruit, grass, 
 &C, thrive well. 
 
 ASHUPEKACHIGAN, a river run- 
 ning into the N. shore of the Gulf of

 ASHWANIPI, or HAMILTON, the 
 great river of Labrador, has its source 
 near the head waters of the east branch 
 of the Moisic, and after a course of 600 
 miles enters the Ailanlic through Es- 
 quimaux Bay or Hamilton Inlet. At 
 its mouth it is nearly 1\ miles wide, 
 a id 25 miles up its breadth varies from 
 £ to ^ mile. About 100 miles up occur 
 the great falls, one of the grandest 
 spectacles in the world. Six miles 
 above the falls the river suddenly con- 
 tracts to about 100 yards, then rushing 
 along in a continuous foaming rapid, 
 finally contracts to a breadth of 50 
 yards ere it precipitates i'selfover the 
 rock which forms the fall ; when, still 
 roaring and foaming, it continues its 
 maddened course for about 30 miles, 
 pent up between walls of rock that 
 rise sometimes to the height of 300 feet 
 on either side. This stupendous fall 
 exceeds in height the Falls ofNiagara. 
 
 ASKATICHE, a lake in Chicoutimi 
 co., Quebec, receives the waters of a 
 small lake in lat. 48° 18' N., and dis- 
 charges them and its own into the

 ATHABASCA LAKE, or LAKE OF 
 THE HILLS, of the North West Terri- 
 tories, is next to Slave Lake in super- 
 ficies, and is situated about 180 miles 
 S.W. of it, lat. 59 3 N, Ion. from 106 D 
 to 112 W. It is an elongated body of 
 water 230 miles in length and averag- 
 ing 14 miles in width. Near its S. W. 
 extremity it receives the Athabasca 
 river, which rises in the Rocky Moun- 
 tains and flows N. E. to join it after a 
 long and tortuous course. Lake Atha- 
 basca discharges its waters northward 
 by Slave river, and it communicates 
 both through the Slave Lake and Mac- 
 kenzie river with the Polar Sea, and 
 through Wollaston and Deer Lukes, 
 and Churchill river, with Hudson's 
 Bay. The shores of the Athabasca to the 
 northward, are high syenitic rock; those 
 to the southward are alluvial, but ad- 
 vancing eastwardly they rise into bar- 
 ren sandy hills perfectly divested of 
 vegetable growth. On Athabasca 
 river, lat. 54 20 N, loa. 114' 3' E., is 
 Fort Assi liboine.

 ATLANTIC OCEAN, one of the five 
 great hydrographical divisious of the 
 globe, occupies an immense longitu- 
 dinal vail y, and ex'ends from the 
 Arctic Circle ou the N. to the Ant- 
 arctic Circle on the S., bounded W. by 
 the coast of America to Cape Horn, 
 and thence by a line continued on the 
 same meridian to the Antarctic Circle, 
 and E. by the shores of Europe and 
 
 Africa to the Cape of Good Hope, and 
 thence prolonged to the meridian of 
 Cape Agulhas till it meets the Ant- 
 arctic Circle. Its extreme breadth is 
 about 5,000 miles, and its area is com- 
 puted at 25,000,000 square miles. The 
 North Sea or German Ocean, the Car- 
 ibbean Sea and the Ir'sh Sea form por- 
 tions of the Atlantic. Its principal 
 Gulfs are, in Europe, the Bay of Biscay ; 
 in Africa, ihe Gulf of Guinea ; in Am- 
 erica, the Gulf of Mexico and the Gulf 
 of St. Lawrence. The chief islands 
 are, in Europe, the British Isles and 
 Iceland ; in Africa, the Azores, Ma- 
 deira and Canary Islands, and the Ar- 
 chipelago of the Gulf of Guinea; in 
 America, the Antilles, Newfoundland, 
 and the islands in the Gulf of St. Law- 
 rence. The chief affluents are, in 
 Europe, the Rhine, Loire and Tagus ; 
 in Africa, the Senegal, Niger and Con- 
 go; and in America, the St. Lawrence, 
 Mississippi, Orinoco, Amazon and La 
 Plata. The bed of the Atlantic is very 
 unequal in elevation, in some places 
 rising in immense sandbanks to within 
 a few fathoms of the surface, and in 
 others sinking to unfathomable depths. 
 The most extensive banks are those of 
 Newfoundland, the Dogger bank in the 
 German Ocean, and the Agulhas bank 
 oft the S. point of Africa. The mini- 
 mum depth on the banks of Newfound- 
 land is 60 feet. The German Ocean 
 varies in depth from 66 to 500 feet. In 
 many places the Atlantic is over 15,000 
 feet deep, and in lat. IS 3 3 S., Ion. 
 23 3 14 W. (15 D E. of the coast of 
 Brazil,) Sir James Ross had no sound- 
 ings with a line of 4,600 fathoms (27,000 
 feet or nearly 5j miles.) In the Ant- 
 arctic ocean Sir James Ross found the 
 depth to b j generally 2,000 feet; but on 
 one occasion a line of 24,000 feet failed 
 to reach the bottom. Fish are met 
 with in greater abundance in the North 
 Atlantic than in the South. In the 
 latter there are only whale fisheries, 
 while in the former theie are the cod 
 fisheries of Newfoundland, the herring 
 fisheries of Great Britain, the pilchard 
 fisheries in the British Channels, and 
 the whale fisheries of Greenland, &c.

 ERIE, one of the five great lakes 
 drained by the St. Lawrence river, lies 
 about north-east and south-west, be- 
 tween 41° 25' and 42° 55 N. lat., and 
 between 78 D 55 and 83° 25' W. Ion., 
 having the province of Ontario on the 
 north, a part of New York, Pennsyl- 
 vesnia and Ohio States on the south, 
 and a part of Michigan on the west. 
 Its shape is ellipti 1 the entire length 
 being about 240 miles ; greatest breadth 
 57 miles : average breadth, 38 miles ; 
 computed circumference, 658 m-'les. The 
 depth of the lake is less than that of 
 any other in the chain, the greatest yet 
 obtained from soundings being only 
 220 feet. Towards the shores, and es- 
 pecially at the western extremity, its 
 shallowness is a serious impediment to 
 navigation, which is entirely suspended 
 during the winter months, in conse- 
 quence of the shoal portions being 
 frozen. The surface of Lake Erie has 
 an elevation of 322 feet above the 
 level of Ontario, and 565 feet above 
 high water mark in the St. Lawrence 
 at Quebec. There is some reason to sup- 
 pose that it was once much high- 
 er than this. Ancient beaches have 
 been discovered in Ohio and Michigan, 
 having an elevation of over 100 feet 
 above the present surface of the water. 
 Its principal supply is by the Detroit 
 and St. Clair rivers, which c> nstitute 
 the outlet of the three great lakes to 
 the N.W., viz : Huron, Michigan and 
 Superior. Numerous other si reams 
 also flow into it, the more important f 
 which are the Maumee, Sandusky

 Grand, Huron and Raisin. Its own 
 "waters are discharged by the Niagara 
 River into Lake Ontario, and thence by 
 the St. Lawrence to the Ocean. The 
 principal harbors on the coast are 
 Buffalo, Cleveland, Toledo, Dunkirk, 
 Erie, Sandusky Bay. and Monroe, all of 
 which have been improved by the 
 United States Government. The com- 
 mercial importance of Lake Erie has 
 been greatly increased by the construc- 
 of numerous canals and railroads, 
 cting its ports with the interior 
 and the seaboard. The lake abounds 
 with fine fish. Lake Erie is remarkable 
 for its violent storms, which prevail 
 most in the months of November and 
 December, often causing the most dis- 
 astrous shipwrecks, attended with fear- 
 ful loss of life.

 ROCK, one of the most magnificent 
 cascades to be found in any country, is 
 situated on the Kaministaquia river, 
 about 30 miles from its mouth in Lake 
 Superior. The river is here contracted 
 to the width of about 50 yards, and, 
 supplied with a volume of water un- 
 usually large for that width, is preci- 
 pitated in a dense sheet down a per- 
 pendicular precipice more than 130 feet 
 high into a deep chasm. The banks 
 of the river, for a distance of nearly 
 half a mile below, rise perpendicularly, 
 and in many places overhang their bases. 
 The chasm throughout this distance is 
 only will'' enough to give free pa 
 to the water. Below the Falls of Kaka- 
 bika the river presents a continued rapid 
 for the distance of about 20 miles, from 
 whence it quietly passes to its month, 
 which is an arm of Lake Superior, cal- 
 led Thunder Bay.

 FRASER RIVER, the most important 
 river of British Columbia, flows entirely 
 through that province, entering the 
 Gulf of Georgia a few miles north of 
 the boundary line of 49° and in about 
 122° 40 W. Ion ; its course throughout 
 is nearly parallel with that of the Col- 
 umbia. The main, or central, branch 
 takes its rise in the Rockv Mountains in 
 lat. 53- 45" N, Ion. 118° W., there meet- 
 ing with the Riviere de Mette, a tribu- 
 tary of the Athabasca, which after- 
 wards unites with Peace river in its 
 course towards the Arctic Ocean. 
 Fraser river was first discovered by Sir 
 Alexander Mackenzie of the North West 
 Company, who, designating it as the 
 Ta-cout-she Tesse, or River of the 
 Tacully Nation, descended it for some 
 distance on his way to the western coast 
 in 1793. Afterwards, in 1808, it was 
 navigated to its mouth by Mr. Simon 
 Fraser and Mr. John Stuart of the North 
 West Company; from the former of 
 whom it has I>s present name. Fraser 
 river, a few miles from its source, flows 
 into a lake some miles in length called 
 Cow-dung lake, below which, consider- 
 ably increased by a tributary from the 
 north, it enters Moose Lake, a beautiful 
 sheet of water some nine miles in length. 
 Thence the river continues rapidly to 
 Ttte Jan nes Cache, a bout 630 miles from 
 the sea, the limit of canoe navigation 
 on the Fraser. About three miles lower 
 down, the stream is joined by the 
 Cranberry Fork, a tributary flowing 
 from the south. Between Te.te Jaime's 
 Cache and Fort George the river is aug- 
 mented by many tributaries, two of 
 which, the Mackenzie Fork and Bear 
 River, are of considerable magnitude. 
 At Fort Geoige, lat. 53 33' N., Ion. 122° 
 45 W., an important branch falls in from 
 the westward, proceeding from the lakes 
 of Stuart and Fraser. Quesnel's river,
 
 FRE

 FUL 
 
 issuing from the great lake of the same 
 name, flows in 100 miles lower down ; 
 and 40 miles below this is Fort Alex- 
 andria, seated on the right bank in lat. 
 52 D 33 40" N. It is in the mountainous 
 region, comprised within the great bend 
 which the Fraser makes between Tete 
 Jaime's Cache and this point that the 
 rich gold deposits, known as the Caribou 
 mines, are situated. At Lytton, about 
 180 miles from the sea, the Fraser is 
 joined by Thompson's river, a copious 
 tributary flowing from the eastward. 
 Yale, a small town at the head of 
 steamboat navigation on the Lower 
 Fraser, is 57 miles lower down, and New 
 Westminster, the former capital of the 
 mainland, some 100 miles below it. 
 Lat. 49- 12 47" N., Ion. 122° 53' W. 
 Between Lytton and Yale the Fraser 
 runs through some of the grandest 
 scenery in the world. On each side 
 heavily timbered mountains rise to a 
 height of over 3,000 feet. Near the 
 summits of these mountains may be 
 observed here and there a thin streak of 
 falling water, which, gathering strength 
 as they descend, swell into a cataract of 
 considerable magnitude rushing with 
 tremendous force into the foaming river 
 beneath.

 gation is dangerous. The tides, which 
 here rise to the height of 71 feet, rush 
 in with such rapidity that swine are 
 often taken and drowned while feeding 
 on shell fish. Grindstones and gypsum, 
 are obtained at the head of this bay.

 lat., and between 80° and 84° 40 W. 
 Ion., being bounded on the S.S.W. by 
 the State of Michigan, and in all other 
 directions by the province of Ontario, 
 except where it receives its supplies 
 from Lakes Michigan and Superior by 
 the Straits of Mackinaw and Sault Ste. 
 Marie, and at its outlet by St. Clair 
 river. It is divided into two unequal 
 portions by a long peninsula named 
 Chabot's Head, and the Manitoulin 
 chain of Islands. The parts to the N. 
 and E. are called Manitou (i.e. the 
 Great Spirit) Bay, or the North Chan- 
 nel, and Manitoulin Lake or Georgian 
 Bay. With the exception of these 
 bodies of water, and Saginaw Bay, the 
 outline of Lake Huron approaches in 
 form very nearly to a crescent. Its 
 position, lengthwise, is about S.S.E. 
 and N N. W., and the distance from one 
 extremity to the other, following the 
 curve, does not vary much from 280 
 miles. The greatest breadth, exclusive 
 of Georgian Bay, is 105 miles ; average 
 breadth 70 miles; estimated area 20,- 
 400 square miles. The surface of the 
 water is elevated 19 feet above Lake 
 Erie, 352 feet above Ontario, and 600 
 feet above the level of the sea. The 
 depth of Lake Huron is greater than 
 that of any other in the chain, averag- 
 ing, probably, not less than 100 feet. 
 Off S:iginaw Bay, it is said, that leads 
 have been sunk 1800 feet, or 1200 feet 
 below the level of the Atlantic Ocean, 
 without reaching bottom. The waters 
 are remarkably clear, especially to- 
 wards the Straits of Mackinaw, and 
 
 very pure and sweet. It is to their 
 peculiar transparency that Dr. Drake 
 attributes the fact, which he ascertain- 
 ed by actual experiment, that the tem- 
 perature of the water at the surface 
 and 200 feet below the same spot was 
 precisely the same — 56 degrees. The 
 sun's rays pass through them as through 
 a cloudless atmosphere, without meet- 
 ing with sufficient solid matter in sus- 
 pension to elicit heat. This lake is 
 said to contain upwards of 3000 con- 
 siderable islands. It is the reservoir 
 of numerous streams, and its coast 
 affords very fine harbors. Like most 
 of the other lakes in the chain, it is 
 subject to fearful storms, but its navi- 
 gation is not generally considered dan- 
 gerous.

 MICHAEL'S LAKE, in Berthier co., 
 Que., one of the sources of Black river. 
 
 MICHIGAN, (signifying in the Indian 
 language " Great Water,"; LAKE, one 
 of the five great lakes of North America, 
 connected with the St. Lawrence river, 
 situated between 41 : 30 and 46° N.lat.. 
 and between 8fr 50 and 88 W. Ion. It 
 is the largest lake that is wholly in- 
 cluded within the United States. The 
 principal portion lies between the State 
 of Michigan on the E., and Illinois and 
 Wisconsin on the W. ; but the N.E. ex- 
 tremity, to the extent of about LOO miles, 
 is comprised within the State of Michi- 
 gan. Its length, following the curve, 
 is near 350 miles ; its greatest breadth 
 about 90 miles. The surface of the 
 lake is about 600 feet above the level of 
 the sea ; some have estimated its mean 
 depth as high as 1,000 feet; area esti- 
 mated at 20,000 square miles. The shore 
 of the lake is generally low, being 
 formed of limestone, rock, clay or sand. 
 It never has higii cliffs, like those on 
 the uppei part of the Mississippi river. 
 The lake appears to be moving west- 
 ward, as the water is constantly, though 
 slowly, receding from the Michigan 
 shore and encroaching upon that of 
 Wisconsin. On the east shore, the sand 
 thrown up oy the waves during a 
 heavy sea, soon becomes dry and is 
 carried inland by the action of the 
 winds. This loose sand forms hills rang- 
 ing in height from 10 to 150 feet, the 
 former of which are constantly chang- 
 ing. Lake Mi higan is destitute of is- 
 lands, except a few near its N.E. extre- 
 mity. It is usually clear of ice about 
 the middle or latter part of March ; but 
 as the Strait of Mackinaw remains 
 frozen considerably later, steamers for 
 the east seldom reach Milwaukee be- 
 fore the middle of April, and they are 
 sometimes prevented by the ice from 
 arriving before the middle of May. 
 Lake Michigan has but few bays on its 
 shores, and fewer good harbors. 
 Among the latter may be mentioned 
 Little Traverse Bay, in the north part 
 
 of the Lower Peninsula, and Grand 
 Haven at the mouth of Grand River. 
 Green Bay, lyii g principally within the 
 limits of Wisconsin, is the only consid- 
 erable bay on Lake Michigan. 
 
 MICHIPIOOTON, a ba.v on tie north 
 shore of Lake Superior. Lat. 47 55 N.. 
 Ion. 85 30 W. 
 
 MICHIPIuOTON, a considerable 
 river of Ontario, falls into Lake Super- 
 ior on the north shore, about L25 miles 
 north of Sault St. Marie. This river 
 has its source from lakes on the south 
 f the height of land dividing the 
 waters of Hudson's Bay and Lake Su- 
 perior. It abounds witli pike, sturgeon 
 and speckled trout. During the sum- 
 mer there is considerable difficulty in 
 ascending the river owing to the very 
 low state of the water and the numer- 
 ous rapids and cascades to be sur- 
 mounted. The distance to the height 
 of land is some 70 miles. Apart from the 
 river navigation, the inland trip is 
 really pleasant, owing to the numerous 
 chain of lakes that have to be pas>cd. 
 These more or less abound with trout 
 and whitsfish. Moose river, which 
 falls into James's Bay at Moose Fac- 
 tory, rises in Misiaabe Lake, on the N. 
 side of the height of land. These two 
 rivers constitute the canoe route be- 
 tween Lake Superior and Hudson's Bay. 
 there being only a short portage to 
 connect the sources of both rivers. 
 There are very few fish in Moose river. 
 but the lakes on its course contain 
 whitefish and lake trout. There are 39 
 portages and 179 rapids on this canoe 
 route between Lake Superior and Hud- 
 son's Bay. The Hudson's Bay Com- 
 pany has a trading post at the mouth 
 of the Michipicoten river. 
 
 MIC KIN A CK, a river of Quebec, 
 runs from the N.E. and falls into the 
 St. Maurice about 57 miles from Threu

 MIDDLE RIVER, a small river fall- 
 ing into Sheet Harbor, on the S.E. 
 coast of the province of Nova Scotia. 
 
 MIDDLE RIVER, a small river in the

 co., Que., empties into Baie des Chaleurs. 
 
 MIDDLE RIVER, a small river of 
 Nova Scotia, falls into Chester Bay, on 
 the S.W. coast of the province, about 3 
 miles from Chester village. It is about 
 15 miles long, and has an east branch 
 about the same length. Both streams

 pass through small lakes, which are 
 frequented by gaspereaux, sea trout, 
 perch and salmon. 
 
 MIDDLE RIVER (or WAGAMAT- 
 COOK), of Nova Scotia, a rapid stream 
 which empties itself into an arm of 
 Bras d'Or Lake. It runs for a distance 
 of 13 miles in a northerly direction, and 
 from thence in an easterly direction to- 
 wards the wilderness from which it 
 takes its rise. Considerable gold has 
 been discovered on this river, and of 
 very superior quality. In 18G4 a gold 
 district was laid off by order of the 
 Government, but unfortunately it fell 
 into the hands of speculators who have 
 done nothing towards developing its 
 resources. Numerous lodes of gold 
 quartz can be seen in a number of small 
 brooks which run into the main river, 
 This river is settled for a distance of 14 
 miles. The lands are well adapted to raise 
 any kind of crops. In the months of 
 June, July and August large numbers 
 of trout frequent this river, and in Sep- 
 tember and October it abounds with 
 salmon of very large size. There are no 
 lakes connected with Middle river. Its 
 water is clear and cold ; hence the 
 meaning of its Indian (Mic-Mac) name 
 " Wagamatcook" — "Clear Rapid Wa- 
 ter." It has been called Middle river 
 on account of its being half way be- 
 tween Baddeck and Margaree rivers. 
 It is navigable for boats 3 miles, and 
 for canoes 10. Large beds of limestone 
 are found on its banks; also red and 
 white free stone. 
 
 MILLE VACHES, a bay on the N. 
 shore of the estuary of the St. Lawrence, 
 about 30 miles below the mouth of the 
 Saguenay. Several streams enter the 
 St. Lawrence through it. One of them, 
 the Sault aux Mouton, falls from a 
 height of 80 feet. 
 
 MILL LAKE, a small lake in Anna- 
 polis co., N.S., gives rise to a tributary 
 of the La Have. 
 
 MILL LAKE, a small lake in Hali- 
 fax co., N.S., gives rise to a stream run- 
 ning into the S. side of the Musquodo- 
 boit river. 
 
 MILL RIVER, in Chicoutimi co., 
 Que., enters the Saguenay above Ha! 
 Ha ! Bay. It is a rapid stream. Its 
 banks are well timbered. 
 
 MIN AS BAY, a remarkable body of 
 water in Nova Scotia, the east arm of 
 the Bay of Fundy, penetrating GO miles 
 
 inland and terminating in Chignec tt 
 Bay. The tides here rush in with greao 
 impetuosity and form whatis called the 
 bore. At the equinoxes they have been 
 known to rise from 00 to 70 feet, while 
 in Halifax harbor on the opposite coast, 
 the spring tides rise only from 6 to 9 
 feet. Minas Bay receives a great num- 
 ber of small rivers, the principal of 
 which, called the Avon, is navigable. 
 
 MINGAN, a large river of Quebec 
 enters theN. shore of the St. Lawrence 
 4G5 miles below Quebec. It is one of 
 the finest salmon s reams in the prov- 
 ince, and excellent for trout. The 
 scenery in rear of this stream is roman- 
 tic and bold. Its mouth forms one of 
 the best harbors on the N. shore. 
 Schooners and sometimes square rigged 
 vessels take shelter in it. There are 
 great deposits of black iron sand on the 
 shore between this river and the Moisic. 
 
 MINGAN RIVER, a river of Quebec, 
 on the north shore of the Gulf of St. 
 Lawrence. Good anchorage at its 
 mouth. 
 
 MINK RIVER, a small stream in 
 Kings co., P.E.I., runs into the northern 
 side of Murray harbor. 
 
 MIRAMICHI, a bay on the N.E. 
 coast of New Brunswick, lat. 47 J 5 N., 
 Ion. 64 :> 53' W., being the estuary of 
 the Miramichi river. Opposite the 
 mouth of the bay are Fox and Pas- 
 sage Islands. 
 
 MIuAMlCHI, a river of New Bruns- 
 wick, derives its name from theMic Mac 
 Indians, the meaning of which is the 
 " Happy Retreat." It is one of the 
 largest rivers in the province, its total 
 length being 220 miles, and its mouth 
 9 miles in width, the tide flowing 40 
 miles from the Gulf. The lands on 
 either side are fertile, the scenery rather 
 tame, but charming, and the farm 
 houses scattered along its entire length 
 have a cheerful and comfortable appear- 
 ance. Nelson, Newcastle, Douglas and 
 Chatham are the principal villages and 
 towns on the river, the first occupying 
 the junction of the north west and 
 south west branches, and the others 
 lying on both sides of Miramichi Bay. 
 Shipbuilding is largely engaged in at 
 these places. The river is navigable 
 for large sized ships 2 miles above New- 
 castle, where it is crossed by the 
 bridges of the Intercolonial railway, for 
 small schooners 20 to 25 miles further,

 and for canoes 40 to 50 miles above the 
 bridge The first ship that entered the 
 Miramichi was the frigate which took 
 the remains of General Wolfe from 
 Quebec to England in 1759, a storm 
 having driven her in for safety. The 
 branches of the Miramichi are celebrated 
 for their splendid salmon and trout. 
 A fish breeding establishment, si1 
 on Stewart's Brook, one of its tributa- 
 ries, is in course of completion by 
 the Government. The Miramichi 
 itself abounds with salmon, stur- 
 geon, codfish, mackerel, herring, 
 bass, shad, alewives, trout, (els, 
 smelts, lobsters and oysters. The Mir- 
 amichi is fed by a large number of tri- 
 butaries ranging from 18 to 100 miles 
 in length. The principal ones are Cain's, 
 Bay du Vin, Nappan, Bartibog, Renous, 
 Bartholemew and Black rivers. The 
 south west or main branch of the Mir- 
 amichi takes its source in a lake a short 
 distance from the Tobique, a river run- 
 ning into the St. John, and flowing pret- 
 ty equably butwith considerable rapidity 
 over a shingly and rocky bed in an 
 easterly course it rolls into the Gulf of 
 St. Lawrence through a large and 
 beautiful bay, in lat. 47° 5' N , Ion. 04 
 53' \V. In the immediate vicinity of 
 its source are three or four lakes; and 
 about 90 miles from its head it becomes 
 considerably expanded in consequence 
 of the number of small rivulets flow- 
 ing into it. The northwest branch 
 joins the main river about 35 miles 
 from its mouth. It rises in highlands 
 bordering on the east side of the Nepisi- 
 quit, with which it is connected by a 
 short portage leading to the Falls and 
 runs over a ealcerousand rather rocky 
 formation. It is 90 miles in length anil 
 receives in its course several large tribu- 
 taries, of which the principal are the 
 Little River, the Tomoggonips, Portage 
 River, Great and Little Sewogle, and 
 the Little South West. Most of these 
 rivers proceed from lakes and are 
 navigable for canoes during the sum- 
 mer months. The tide flows up the 
 North West Miramichi 1G miles. It 
 is navigable for vessels of 15 feet 
 draught for 3 miles of this distance, 
 for schooners of 60 or 70 tons for 3 
 miles further, and for canoes to its 
 source. 
 
 MIRA RIVER, of Cape Breton co., 
 N.S , is about 32 miles long and falls 
 
 into the head of Mira Bay, on the At- 
 lantic coast. Its entrance is narrow 
 with from 7 to 9 feet of water (accord- 
 ing to tides), but it widens and deepens 
 directly inside. In some places it is 
 from half to three-quarters of a mile 
 wide, and is studded with islands. It 
 is navigable for small vessels for 25 
 miles, and is frequented by several kinds 
 offish, especially .aim m, eels and gas- 
 pereanx. There are ihree bridges over 
 this river. The line of railway from 
 Sydney to Louisbourg is surveyed to 
 i wo miles above its estuary. 
 
 MISINABE, a lake of the North West 
 Territories, 60 miles X.E. of Lake Su- 
 perior. Moose river issues out oi

 MISTASSA, a river of Quebec, falls 
 into Lake Si. John. It is navigable 
 for large boats for many miles, and far-

 MISTASSINI, a large lake of the 
 North West Territories, close to t'-ie 
 height of land which divides the waters 
 of the Saguenay fr m those Cowing 
 into Hudson's Bay, in lat. 51° N., Ion. 
 72° to 73 W. This lake Conns the head 
 waters of Rupert river, flowing into 
 James's Bay The extent of this lake 
 is but imperfectly known. The Indians 
 say it takes three days to cross the nar- 
 rowest part from island to island. Mr. 
 James Richardson, of the Geological 
 Survey, who explored a part of the 
 lake in August, L87I, Bays: "Abata- 
 goush bay (a part of Lake Mistassinij 
 was surveyed for 30 miles — 13 miles to 
 the Hudson's BayCompany's post(333j 
 miles N. of Mo Ureal), aid 17 miles 
 beyond it. At this point I he lake opens 
 out both to the right and left; and Mr. 
 Burgess, the officer in charge of the 
 Hudson's Hay Company's post, told me 
 that from this point -the western shore 
 trends north for about 6 miles, where 
 a bay, 12 miles across, called Pooni- 
 chuan, stretches S. and S.W. fore, dis- 
 tance of about 30 mihs. He further 
 informed me that across the bay the 
 inie conti mes in a north westerly 
 direction for 40 or 4." miles farther, ami 
 thence north for about 60 miles if 
 limaie is approximately correct, 
 the length of Lake Mistassini, including 
 the hays, would he about 150 miles, or 
 but little less than that of Lake On- 
 tario. I have no information regarding 
 its breadth. Besides the two bays 
 already mentioned, there is a third on 
 
 the E. side called < 'abistaehuan, which 
 runs to the S. ami W. from a point 
 about midway between the Hudson's 
 Hay Company's pot and the end of our 
 measurement (290 miles from Lake St. 
 John,) and is about 20 miles deep. At 
 the south end of Ibis a stream of the 
 game name, said to be of considerable 
 
 size, enters from the eastward." The 
 country around the lake, so far as is 
 known, is level and favourable for 
 agriculture. (lood.si/.'d potatoes are 
 grown at fiie Hudson's Hay Company's 
 post. Mr. Walter McOuat, of the Geo- 
 logical Survey, who surveyed another 
 portion of th • Lake, i i 1872, says : ''We 
 measured on this lake a coast line of 
 about 150 mile-', including no hays less 
 than a mile in width. The main body 
 of the lake was fouud to be of a very 
 elongated form, lying in a S.W. mil N. 
 E. direction, with a perceptible curve 
 between the south wesl extremity and 
 the farthest point see i by us, the con- 
 cavity of the curve, being towards the 
 south east. A long rugged tongue of 
 land, upwards of 20 miles in length, 
 runni ig from the S.W. end, divides 
 II at end of the lake into two parts ; 
 and, of these, the one on the south east 
 divides into several long arms, which 
 are out of the general direction, having 
 a nearly north and south trend. A 
 series of long, narrow islands, which 
 were seen only from a distance, extends 
 for many miles in the same direction 
 beyond the above mentioned point, 
 being, like it, apparently parallel with 
 the longer axis of the lake. We carried 
 our measurements' round the long 
 point, to the bottom of the bay on the 
 north west side of it, called Poonichuan 
 Hay, and thence along the main north 
 west shore of the lake for about 70 
 miles from the extreme S.W. point. 
 As no land was visible from this posi- 
 tion, looking in a north easterly direc- 
 tion from a point about 40 feet above 
 the level of the water, the whole length 
 of the lake cannot be much, if any, 
 less than a hundred miles. It appears, 
 however, to be comparatively narrow, 
 being probably not more than 15 miles 
 wide, unless the width increases beyond 
 where we saw it." 
 
 MISTASSINI, ("The 'Large Rock,") 
 a river of Quebec, is formed by the 
 junction of two rivers, the Washicamis- 
 eou fmd the Kakissagan, and runs into 
 the N.W. side of Lake St. John, about 3 
 miles from the HivcrAshuapmouehouan. 
 It is about 3 miles wide at its mouth, 
 including a group of islets, but is ex- 
 tremely shallow. It is also called the 
 Riviere dc Sable or Sand River, on 
 account of its sandy banks ami the 
 sand shoals at its mouth, which extend

 considerably into the Lake. This river 
 is supposed to be the ancient route 
 leading to Lake Mi^tassini. 
 
 M( 'I LIA, a river of Ontario, empties 
 into the Bay of Quinte at the flourishing 
 town < f Belleville, after a rapid course 
 of about 30 miles. It is frequented by 
 maskirfonge, pickerel, pike, and other 
 fish, and was at one time noted for its 
 fiue salmon The villages of Cannif- 
 ton, Foxboro, Plainfield, Stoco, Tweed

 miles E. of the Bay of Seven Islands. 
 For centuries this river has been one 
 of the leading lines of communication 
 from the interior to the coast. It is 
 one of the best salmon streams in 
 the world, and is celebrated for its 
 wild, majestic and wonderful scenery. 
 At its mouth are extensive deposits

 its source to its mouth. 
 
 MONTMORENCY, FALLS OF, situ- 
 ated at the mouth of the Montmorency 
 river, 6 miles from Quebec. They are 
 higher than those of Niagara, being 
 more than 250 feet ; but they are very 
 narrow — being enly about fifty feet 
 wide. These falls are a great attrac- 
 tion to tourists and visitors to the 
 anciect capital. The drive to them is 
 very beautiful ; the scenery on the 
 road through Beauport, where the 
 Provincial Lunatic Asylum is built, 
 
 and back again being: full of interest. 
 About two miles above the falls is a 
 curious formation on the river bank 
 called " the Natural Steps," being a 
 series of layers of the lim stone rock, 
 each about a foot in thickness, and 
 for about half a mile receding one 
 above the other to the height of nearly 
 20 feet, as regularly as if formed by the 
 hand of man. They are great objects 
 of wonder and curiosity. There are 
 several stores and hotels near the falls, 
 and at their base several large saw 
 mills and factories employing from 600 
 to 800 hands.

 which, from 1693 to 1697, was the head 
 quarters of Villebon, the Governor of 
 Acadia, This fort was besieged in 1699 
 by the New Englanders under Captain 
 Church, but the besiegers were repul-

 nearly opposite Fredeiicton. A few 
 miles from its discharge it divides into 
 three branches; on the N.E. branch, 
 about H miles from the Forks, occurs the 
 Falls of Nashwaaksis. Here the brook, 
 rising in a picturesque gorge formed of 
 nearly perpendicular cliffs 100 feet high 
 falls over coarse silicious conglomerate 
 rocks, forming a cascade 40 feet high 
 and 50 feet wide.

 NEPISIQUIT, a river of New Bruns- 
 wick, takes it rise near the head waters 
 of the Tobique and enters Bathurst 
 Bay after a course of about 100 miles. 
 It is celebrated for its fine large 
 salmon, and runs with great rapidity. 
 Apart from the gloom and grandeur of 
 the mountain see tery at its source and 
 from its many lovely tributaries, it can 
 boast of falls and rapids wiiich are 
 extremely interesting. From these 
 rapids it derives the name of Nepisi- 
 quit or Foamy River. Twenty miles 
 from Bathurst are the Great Falls, 
 winch it would seem Nature had 
 deemed so beautiful that she encased 
 them in flint and granite. For miles 
 above and below the cataract the river 
 is very much contracted, and the banks 
 rocky and perpendicular. The total 
 height of these falls is 140 feet, the

 leap consisting of four. At ilie foot of 
 each arc deep basins, and belflw them, 
 for about a mile, a number of pools and 
 rapids, whose gloomy but fascinating 
 features are greatly enhanced by the 
 prevailing roar and by the blending 
 together in some places of the black 
 water with the white foam. About 7 
 miles above Bathurstare the Papineau, 
 or Cranberry Fails, which consist of a 
 series of chutes and small falls. The 
 salmon ascend no higher than the

 NEWFOUNDLAND. — There are 
 many rivers running to the south coast 
 of Newfoundland, some of which are 
 of consiierable .-ize, though not navi- 
 gable above tide water except in some 
 cases for canoes and small boats. The 
 following are among the largest of 
 these rivers : The Sandy Harbor and 
 List or Dunn's river, flowing into 
 Placentia Bay. Long Harbor River, 
 the water of Gribornes Lake and Big 
 River running into Fortune Bay. Little 
 
 River Conn and Bay Despair river run" 
 ni lg into Bay Despair. Serpentine 
 Lake or Long Pond running into Buy 
 d ■ East. The Bay de North, Facheux, 
 Bay de Lievre, Little River, and White 
 Bear Bay rivers flowing into Buys of 
 their respective names, also Grandys 
 Brook, Ponnoire and LaP< ile rivers, 
 with some othcts to the westward. 
 These rivers are all rapid with rocky or 
 stony beds ; on some are high falls 
 within a short distance of the coast ; 
 and most of them frequently widen 
 out into 'ponds or lakes between their 
 sonic s and dischat g ■. 
 
 NIAGARA, ar verof North America, 
 forming the outlet of Lake Erie and a 
 part of the boundary between Canada 
 aid the United States. It commences 
 at. Black Rock, 2 miles N. of Buffalo, 
 and flowing northward, enters Lake 
 Ontario after a coi rse of about 31 
 miles About 3 miles below its south- 
 ern extremity it divides into two arms, 
 which embrace an island, called Grand 
 Island. 12 miles long, and from 2 to 7 
 miles wide. Two or three miles below 
 Grand Island the entire waters of the 
 Niagara are precipitated over a per- 
 pendicular ledge of rocks about 160 feet 
 in height, forming the N agara Falls, 
 the most, stupendo is cataract on the 
 globe. The rapids above the falls have 
 a descent of 57 feet in a Tout half a mile. 
 The river is navigable 7 miles to 
 Lewiston, and above the falls for small 
 boats from the old Fort Schlosser 
 to Lake Erie, near 20 miles. Two 
 miles below the cataract the river is 
 spanned by a magnificent suspension 
 bridge. 800 feet in leng 
 
 NIAGARA, FALLS OF, a mighty 
 cataract situated partly in Canada, and 
 partly in the United States, on the 
 Niagara, a river 34 mi es in length, 
 running from Lake Erie to On'ario, 
 and here 'pouring the waters of the 
 Great Lakes over a perpendicular pre- 
 cipice, 165 feer in height. The falls 
 are about 20 miles below the entrance 
 to the river, at the N.E. extremity of 
 Lake Erie, and 14 mil j no- 
 
 tion with Lak p Ontario. About .'5 
 miles below its commenc ment, the 
 river divides into two a,; ins, which em- 
 brace an island, culled Grand Tslai.d, 
 12 miles long, and from 2 to 7 mile's 
 wide. The banks of tie uppi r porli a 
 of Niagara river are low, not usually

 exceeding 20 or 30 feet, and the cur- 
 rent is comparatively moderate. Nearly 
 3 miles below Grand Island the rapids 
 (scarcely less interesting than the falls 
 themselves) commence, and after a 
 course of rather more than half a mile 
 terminate in the great, cataract. Goat 
 Island, a quarter of a mile '.vide and 
 half a mile long, from N. to S., extends 
 to the very brow of the precipice and 
 divides the falls into two portion-, the 
 higher of which is on th.e American 
 side, 1] it the greater body of water on 
 the Oana lian. Below the falls the river 
 runs between perpendicular cliffs for 3 
 or 4 miles in a channel of from 300 
 to 800 feet wide, with great force and 
 impetuosity till it is released from its 
 narrow and rocky bed, below the 
 Queenston Heights, from whenceitflows 
 tranquilly into Lake Ontario. Between 
 the falls and Queenston (where navi- 
 gation commences) occur two rapids, 
 caused partly by the narrowing of the 
 bed of the river, and partly by the 
 rocks at the bottom. At the head of 
 the first rapids, two miles below the 
 falls, the river i- spanned by a suspen- 
 sion bridge 800 feet in length ami 230 
 feet above the water. At the southern 
 extremity of the first rapids, an angle 
 in the river causes a reflex in the cur- 
 rent, which forms a number of eddies, 
 commonly called " The whirlpool," 
 more remarkable for the heaping up of 
 the waters in the middle of the river, 
 by the impetus of the current, than for 
 any peculiar violence of the whirlpools 
 themselves. Relow this pool isanoher 
 rapid of about a half mile in extent. 
 
 NIOOLET, a beautiful lake in the 
 co. of Wolfe, Que., about 2\ miles lony 
 and 1 mile broad. It contains several 
 islands, abounds with fine trout, and is 
 surrou ided by very attractive scenery. 
 
 NICOLET. a river of Quebec, rises 
 in the above lake, and falls into Lake 
 St. Peter at Nicolet. Length GO miles. 
 It is a rapid stream, but navigable to

 NICTAUX, a river of Annapolis co., 
 N.S., falls into the S. bank of the 
 Annapolis river.near Middleton Station. 
 Silver and ir in ore is found in the 
 vicinity of this river. There are ten 
 lakes on the Nictaux, which abound 
 nth trout, affording tine sport fur the 
 
 lgler. The lower part of the river 
 
 pounds with salmon, bass and shad. 
 
 NIKOUBAU, a river of Quebec, 
 firms the first part of the River Ashuap- 
 mouclman. Its upward course is 
 generally north-westerly to the height 
 of land which divides the waters of the 
 Saguenay from those flowing to Hud- 
 son's Bay. It passes through several 
 lakes. At the head of the fourth it 
 divides into two branches, one comes 
 from the N.E. ami the other, in its up- 
 ward course, continues north-westerly, 
 a id passes a sort of double Lake, called 
 Narrow Ridge lake, where the highest 
 lake, called VVhiteiish Lake, is reached 
 by a portage of about 1 mile. This is 
 (dose to the water shed, which is also 
 the boundary line between the Province 
 of Quebec and the North West Terri- 
 tories, and is 170 miles from St. John, 
 200 miles N. of Montreal. At Lake 
 Nikoubau, the spruce, tamarac, bal- 
 sam, fir, &c, attain a good size. 
 
 XXE MILE RIVER, a g »»d salmon 
 and trout stream in Halifax co., N.S., 
 enters the Atlan'ic through Shad Bay, 
 W. of Halifax, after a course of about 
 40 miles. 
 
 XIPIGON, or NEPIGON, a large 
 lake of Ontario, 30 miles N.W. of 
 Lake Superior. Its general outline is 
 elliptical, the longest diameter, a little 
 west of north, being seventy miles, and 
 the shortest 50 miles. The shore on 
 the southern side is deeply indented by 
 large bays; and on the northern, 
 Ombabika Bay is nearly 20 miles long 
 with mi entrance only a mile wide. 
 These indentations increase very much 
 the coast line, which measures 530 
 miles. Lake Nipigon is very thickly 
 studded with islands. It is estimated 
 that there are more than 1,000. Some 
 500 or 000 have already been examined, 
 varying in size from 8 miles in diameter 
 down to a few chains in length. The 
 streams flowing into the lake are nume- 
 rous. The 18 largest are: Kayoshk or 
 Gull River,Na-me-wa-min-i kan orStur- 
 geon River, (sometimes also called the 
 Poplar Lodge River, from the name of 
 the Hudson Bay Company's post at it3 
 mouth,) O-na-ma-ni-sagi or Re 1 Paint 
 River, Ptck-i-ti-gouch-ing or Muddy 
 River, Ka-bi-to-ti-quia or the river 
 which runs parallel to the shore, 
 Omba-bi-ka or Rising Rocks River,

 or Look out River, Sandy River, Katch- 
 an-ga-ti-na-wi or High Hill River, Ka- 
 ne-sha, and Ka-nee-sha-sing River. The 
 aspect of the country around Lake 
 Nipigon, and of the isla ids within it, 
 is undulating, and sometimes hilly, but 
 level tracts ot considerable extent occur 
 in some places. Tiie largest tract of 
 good land appears to be on the south- 
 western side of the lake. For 50 miles 
 from the Nonwatan river northwards 
 the country is mostly level and the soil 
 fertile. The Indians represent this 
 tract as continuing nearly to the Win- 
 nipeg river, becoming more level as it 
 recedes westward. Around South and 
 Mclmyre, the two largest bays of the 
 south, there is a considerable area of 
 good land. Along the Kabitotaquiaon 
 the we->t, on both sides of the river, the 
 country is level and the soil sandy, 
 supporting a growth of grass and 
 bushes, the timber having been burnt 
 off by repeated fires. The land is free 
 from stones and almost ready for the 
 plough. To the north westward the 
 country is low and a level tract extends 
 north to an unknown distance. To the 
 north cast along Ombabika Bay as far 
 as the eye can reach, the country is 
 level and' the soil good. The climate 
 at Lake Nipigon appears to be as well 
 suited For agriculture as the greater 
 part of the province of Quebec. The 
 timber is principally white spruce, 
 white birch, aspen, poplar, balsam, fir, 
 tamarac, and white cedar, with occa- 
 sional trees of black ash, grey elm and 
 white pine. Lake Nipigon is 313 feet 
 higher than Lake Superior. The Indians 
 say it has fallen 3 feet in the last 35 
 years. The shores on the south and 
 west are holder and the water deeper 
 than on the north and east. The depih 
 of water is very great. In some parts 
 a li le of 540 feet has failed to touch 
 bottom. Indians fish in upwards of 
 100 feet of water, not a stone's throw 
 from the shore. The lake has its outlet 
 in the Nipigon river, which issues from 
 the south-east side and empties into 
 Lake Superior. "Nipigon" is a con- 
 traction of a. word signifying " Deep 
 Clear Water Lake." 
 
 NIRIGON, a river of the district of 
 Thunder Bay, Ont., issues from the S.E. 
 side of Lake" Nipigon, and empties into 
 
 the head of Nipigon Bay, the most 
 northern point of Lake Superior. It is 
 
 about 30 miles long, and is the largest 
 river flowing into Lake Superior. Its 
 size and character, and the area it 
 drains, entitle it to be considered as the 
 continuation of the St. Lawrence be- 
 yond Lake Superior. Four lakes occur 
 in its course : Lake Helen, 8 miles 
 long and 1 wide ; Lake Jessie, 3 ; Lake 
 .Maria, 2i ; and Lake Emma, 4 long. 
 The navigation between these lakes is 
 interrupted by falls and rapids. The 
 River Nipigon affords the finest trout 
 fishing on the continent. Its water is 
 very clear. 
 
 NIPISSING, orNEPISSING LAKE, 
 Ontario, is situated N.E. of Lake 
 Huron, nearly midway between it and 
 the Ottawa river. The shape is irre- 
 gular; the shores are bold. Length 50 
 miles ; greatest breadth 35 miles. It 
 contains many islands, and discharges 
 itself into Georgian Bay (Lake Huron) 
 by French river, the navigation of 
 which is, however, impeded by numer- 
 ous rapids ; but eastward it is separat- 
 ed by only a short portage from Turtle 
 Lake and Little river, a tributary of 
 the navigabl 1 Ottawa.

 OGOKE, a river of the North West 
 Territories, N. of Lake Superior. It is 
 said to be the largest tributary enter- 
 ing the Albany river from the S. side, 
 above the Ken ogam i river. A part of 
 this river was surveyed by Mr. Robert 
 Bell, of the Geological Survey, in 1872. 
 He reports: "In the 10 miles of the 
 Ogoke river which we examined, it 
 averaged about 500 feet in breadth, 
 with large lagoons and marshes on 
 either sides, and was from 50 to 60 feet 
 deep in the middle. The Indians in- 
 form us that it maintained the same 
 dead water character as in this section 
 for h long distance both above and be- 
 low ; so that it would appear to be 
 well adap.ted for steamboat navigation 
 in this part of its course ; but it is said 
 to spread out to a great width and be- 
 come very shallow after it reaches the 
 flat lying palaeozoic rocks further 
 down. The Ogoke is nearly twenty 
 chains in width where it joins the Al- 
 bany. '

 falls into the N. shore of the Gulf of St. 
 Lawrence over a precipice 20 feet in 
 height. 
 
 OMBABIKA, or RISING ROCKS, a 
 river of the district of ThunoVr Baj, 
 Ont., takes it source in Shoal Lake 
 near the highlands, separating the 
 waters of Lake Superior from those of 
 Hudson's Bay, and after a course of 42 
 miles, in which it passes through 12 
 
 lakes, falls into Lake Nipigon at Oti- 
 babika Bay. A stream also flows from 
 the lake at its head into the Albany 
 river. 
 
 ONEPOWE, a river of the North

 discharges itself into the River Jacques 
 Cartier. 
 
 ONTARIO, the smallest and most 
 easterly of the five great lake's which 
 communicate with the River St. Law- 
 rence, is situated between 43 10 and 
 44 10 N. lat., and 70 and 80 W. Ion. 
 It divides the State ot New Vork from 
 Canada on the N , the line of its great- 
 est extent running nearly due E. and 
 W". Length about 190 miles, greatest 
 breadth 55 miles. The entire area is 
 estimated at 5,400 square miles. The 
 surface is 334 feet below that of Erie, 
 and about 230 feet above the tidewater 
 in tiie St. Lawrence. The greatest 
 depth is upwards of 600 feet, and it is 
 navigable in every part for vessels of 
 the largest class. It, is never entirely 
 closed with ice. and rarely freezes even 
 in the severest weather except in shal- 
 low places along the shore. Lake On- 
 tario receives its chief su] ply from the 
 great lakes through Niagara ■ River, 
 though considerable accessions are 
 brought to it by the Genessee, Oswego 
 and Trent rivers, and numerous smaller 
 treams both from the Canadian and 
 United States shares. It discbarges its 
 waters by the St, Lawrence. Ii is con- 
 nected with Lake Erie by the Welland 
 Canal, 28 miles long, wit 1 ; about 30 cut 
 Stone locks, 13o feet long b- 26.1 wide, 
 capable of passing propellors and sail

 cial extent, and gives rise to the Oro- 
 mocto river, which empties into the St. 
 John. 
 
 OROMOCTO, a large river of New 
 Brunswick, enters the St. John from 
 the westward, 11 miles below Frederic- 
 ton. It is an excellent millstream, and 
 navigable for vessels drawing 8 feet of

 Vessels of 1,200 tons are built within 
 its mouth. Some of the branches and 
 tributaries oft 1 e Oromocto abound with 
 salmon and trout.

 where it changes its name to the Trent, 
 and runs into the Bay of Quinte at 
 Trenton. Length about 170 miles. It 
 is navigable for a good part of its 
 course for steamers. 
 
 OTTAWA, or GRAND RIVER, a 
 large river of Canada, rises in !at. 48° 
 30 N., Ion. 80° W., S.E. of Hudson's 
 Bay. For 300 miles from its source to 
 Lake Temiscamingue the Ottawa runs 
 from N.E. to S.W. ; then suddenly 
 changing its direction it flows to the 
 S.E. for 400 miles, dividing Ontario and 
 Quebec, widening at its outlet into the 
 expanse of water known as the Lake 
 of Two Mountains, and finally dis- 
 charges into the St. Lawrence at the St. 
 Anne's rapids, above the Island of Mon- 
 treal. Above Lake Temiscamingue the 
 country drained by the Ottawa is little 
 known, but below it the river has been 
 surveyed. Montreal river, the canoe 
 route 'to Hudson's Bay, comes in from the 
 north-west, 34 miles down Lake Temis- 
 camingue, and six mileslower down, the 
 great and almost unknot n River Keep- 
 awa plunges into the lake in a magnifi- 
 cent cascade, 120 feet in height. From 
 the Long Saul t at the foot of Lake Temis- 
 camingue, 233 miles above the city of 
 Ottawa, the river is not navigable for a 
 distance of 89 miles, except for canoes. 
 
 Between the last-named point and 
 Ottawa, a distance of 197miles various 
 tributaries swell its waters, and one 
 of them, the Matawan, coming from the 
 west, is of especial interest at the pre- 
 sent time, in consequence of its being 
 on the Hne of the proposed ship 
 canal route between Ottawa and Lake 
 Huron. Above the upper Allumette 
 Lake there is a navigable reach i f water 
 43 miles in length. The mountains 
 above Allumette Lake ar-- upwards 
 of 1,000 feet in height, and the sce- 
 nery is magnificent. The mountains 
 on the north side of Coulongc Lake 
 are 1,500 feet high, and the scenery 
 grand and beautiful. The Petcwawa, 
 one of the largest tributaries, 140 miles 
 long, drains an area of 2,200 square 
 miles; the Black River drains 1,120 
 square miles ; and, 39 miles from Otta- 
 wa city, the Madawaska, one of its 
 greatest feeders, and 210 miles long, 
 drains 4,100 square miles. Six miles 
 above Ottawa the rapids begin which 
 terminate in the celebrated 'Chaudiere 
 Falls, whose tumultuous waters plunge 
 40 feet and partly disappear in the 
 Lost Chaudiere by an underground 
 passage whose subsequent outlet is 
 unknown. At Ottawa the great river 
 receives the Rideau, distinguished on 
 account of its canal which connects the 
 city of Ottaw;a with Kingston. Its 
 largest tributary, the Gatineau, with 
 a course of 420 miles, comes in from the 
 north, and drains 12,000 square miles 
 of territory. Eighteen miles below 
 Ottawa is the Riviere du Lievre, drain- 
 ing an area of 4,100 square miles; 
 below this river there are numerous 
 tributaries varying from 90 to 160 miles 
 in length. The rapids below Ottawa 
 are avoided by a succession of canals. 
 The valley drained by the Ottawa is 
 80,000 square miles in area, for the most 
 part covered with valuable woods, par- 
 ticularly red and white pine ; it is abun- 
 dantly intersected with large rivers and 
 contains a very considerable area of the 
 best soil. The country is generally 
 beautiful aid undulating behind what 
 has been called the red pine regions, 
 and sustains a growth of maple, beech, 
 birch and elm. No region of equal 
 extent enjoys so much excellent water 
 power, with such ample supplies of 
 timber and minerals to work up or ap- 
 ply to any kind of manufacture to
 
 ous

 which water power is available. It is 
 a region rich in iron, lead, plumbago, 
 marbles, ochres aid copper. The valley 
 of this beautiful and bountiful river is 
 capable of maintaining without diffi- 
 culty twice the entire present popula- 
 tation of Canada, or more than 8,000,- 
 
 000 souls. The capital of Canada is 
 situated on the south bank of the Otta- 
 wa, 97 miles fiom its mouth. 
 
 O TIE It RIVER, or RIVER A LA

 Falls there/') a river of Quebec, rises 
 in Chicoutimi co., 7 miles above Lake 
 Quaquagamacke, and enters the S.W. 
 corner of Lake St. John after a course 
 of 59;> mihs. About a mile from its 
 mouth are the Great Fall-, 236 feet high. 
 They rival those of Montmorency in 
 height, and far surpass them in the 
 distribution of the water as it descends 
 over pendant rocks. These beautiful 
 falls can be seen from the opposite side 
 of Lake St. John, and have given to 
 this river its name.

 quereau. Ou the W. she of Grand 
 Pabos Bay is a small village, and on its 
 east side a fishing settlement. Several 
 streams run into the bay from a numer- 
 ous chain of lakes to the northwest- 
 ward. The Grand Rabos is a good 
 salmon stream. 
 
 PACIFIC OCEAN, or the GREAT 
 SOUTH SEA, by far the largest of the 
 great divisions of water oa the surface 
 of the globe, extends from the Arctic to 
 the Antarctic circle, over 133 7 ' of lat.; 
 and from the Y\ . c as! of America to 
 Australia, Papua, Flores, Sumbawa, 
 Java, Sumatra, and the E. coast of Asia, 
 or through nearly 160 degrees of longi- 
 tude. Area, estimated at 70,000,000 
 square miles, exceeding that of all the 
 dry land on the globe. In its widest part, 
 at the equator, it is 10, 0' miles across ; 
 towards the circles its breadth is dimin- 
 ished, especially in the N., where it 
 communicates with the Arctic Ocean by 
 Behring Strait. It is usually divided 
 by geographers into the North and 
 South Pacific, separated from each 
 other by the equator. The most dis- 
 tinguishing features of the Pacific are 
 the coun'less number of comparatively 
 small islands spread over its surface, 
 moreespi c ally of its equatorial region, 
 and the immense chain of volcanoes 
 which stretch about continuously along 
 its shores forming one vast volcanic 
 circle. In the south, it is separated 
 from the Antarctic Circle only by an 
 arbitrary line; but in other directions 
 both its boundaries and its communi- 
 cations with other oceans are well 
 defined. Its coast line on the American 
 side, though generally bold, is very 
 little broken by inlets. On the Asiatic 
 side it is very irregular. The depth of
 
 PAS

 the Pacific has not been ascertained, 
 though there seems no reason to doubt 
 it descends much further below than 
 the lofiiest mountain heights ascend 
 above its surface. This ocean was first 
 seen by Europeans in 1513. Vasco 
 Nunez de Balboa, the Spanish Governor 
 of Darien, proceeding on native infor- 
 mation, set out on an exploring expe- 
 dition across the isthmus, and, having 
 asc-nded ;t hill, saw a boundless ocean 
 spread pul b fore him. As his view 
 extended chiefly to the S., he gave it the 
 name of .the .Mar del Zur, or South Se i. 
 It received its present name from the 
 celebrated navigator, Fernando de Ma- 
 gellan, who sailed across it in J521. 
 In the eighteenth century its different 
 parts were explored by Behring, Anson. 
 Byron, Bougainville, Cook, Vancouver, 
 Broughton, La Perouse, &c. and in the 
 present century by D'Entrecasteaux, 
 Krusensterri, Beechey, Fitzroy, D'Ur- 
 ville, Wilkes and Sir James Ross.

 but the early Jesuit missionaries 
 gave it the name it now bears. 
 The Saguenay is remarkable for its 
 wild and picturesque scenery. The first 
 half of its course, averages half a mile 
 in wid'h and runs through a wilder-

 Company have an important post. 
 About 10 miles S. of (Chicontimi, there 
 recedes from the Saguenay a beautiful 
 expanse of water called Ha! Hal Bay, 
 at the head of which is another village. 
 Between this bay and the mouth of the 
 river its course exhibits some of the 
 most sublime river scenery in the world. 
 The banks varying in height from 500 
 to 1,500 feet, not only often perpendicu- 
 lar but, absolutely overhangi g the 
 dark, deen river below, as if fco gaze at 
 their own merged features. Theprecini- 
 ta"cy continues below as well as above 
 the water, which has been found as 
 deep within five feet of the shore as in 
 the middle. Near its month a line 
 of 3,000 feet failed to find bottom ; the 
 
 depth in other parts varies from 100 to 
 1,000 feet. During the summer months 
 the Snguena is visited by thousands 
 of tourists. I 1 is navigable to Ha! Ha!

 beauty. There is a remarkable echo 
 at the lake, which, unlike other echoes, 
 tarries some few seconds before repeat- 
 ing the sound uttered; and this in its

 ST. JOHN RIVER, (Indian name 
 Looxht'ok, signifying "the Long 
 River,") the principal river of New 
 Brunswick, rises under the name of 
 the South West Branch, at the Met- 
 germette Portage, in the highlands 
 which sepa ate Maine from Canada, 
 near the sources of the Connecticut. 
 It flows due N E. to the junction of 
 the St. Francis, ilat. 47 : 10 N., Ion. 
 68 3 54 W.,) a distance of about 150 
 miles, of which course about 100 
 miles, commencing at the influx of the 
 North West Branch, is known as the 
 Wallastook river. Below the entrance 
 of i he St. Francis, thf St. John flows 
 in an irregular E.S.E. course to the 
 Grand Falls, (hit. 47 5 N., Ion. 67° 
 45 W ,) where the river has a perpendi- 
 ular descent of 70 or 80 feel, abounding 
 in picturesque scenery ; thence its 
 direction is nearly S., to about lat. 
 46 3 N., win le it bends suddenly E., 
 and Hows in this general direction for 
 about luO miles to the entrance of the 
 outlet to Grand Lake, below which 
 the river flows in a broad channel due 
 S.S.W Its entire length is estimated 
 at 450 miles. To the Grand Falls, 
 225 miles from the sea, its course is 
 wholly within the province of New 
 Brunswick. From a point about 3 
 miles above the falls, where the E. 
 boundary of Maine intersects the St. 
 John, to the entrauce of the St. Francis, 
 a distance of 75 miles, the boundary 
 between Maine and New Brunswick is 
 found in the middle channel or deepest 
 water of the river. Prom the mouth of 
 the St. Francis to about lat. 4G- 25 N., 
 Ion. 70 4 W., a distance of 112 miles, 
 the river has its course wholly in 
 
 Maine ; but from the point last mention 
 ed to the Monument at the source o 
 the river on the Metgermette Portage, a 
 distance of about 38 miles,the right bank 
 only is in the province of Quebec. The 
 principal affluents of the .-t. John are 
 the Oromocto,Aroostook, and Alagash 
 from the W., and the Kennebaccasis, 
 Washademoak, Salmon, Naskwaak, To- 
 bique, Madawaska, and St. Fiancis 
 from the E. Vessels of 120 tons ascend 
 the St. John to Fredericton, 80 miles 
 from the Bay of Fundy ; small steamers 
 ply to Woodstock, 75 miles farther up, 
 and occasionally make trips to the 
 Grand Falls. Above the Grand Fall?, 
 the St. John has been navigaied by a 
 steamer 40 miles to the mouth of the 
 River Madawaska, and from this point 
 boa's and canoes ascend almost to its 
 sources. It is estimated that the St. 
 John and its tributaries afford 1,300 
 miles of navigable waters. The area 
 drained is computed at 17,000,000 
 acres, of which 9,000,000 are in New 
 Brunswick, 2,000,000 in Quebec, and 
 6,000,0- in Maine. A greai por- 
 tion of this is occupied by dense forests 
 of pine, hackmatack, and other timber, 
 of which vast quantities are annually 
 rafted down the river. The valley of 
 the St. John is remarkable for its ferti- 
 lity and picturesque beauty. 
 
 ST. JOHN'S BAY, on the W. coast 
 of Newfoundland, receives the River 
 Castor. 
 
 ST. JOHN'S, a river of the co. of 
 Gaspe, Que., empties into Gaspe Bay 
 at a place known as the Barachois or 
 Tickle of Douglastown, after a course 
 of about 70 miles. Boats can go up it 
 a short distance, canoes can ascend 
 to its source. It furnishes splendid 
 salmon and sea trout angling. 
 
 ST. JOHN'S, a river of the co. of 
 Saguenay, Que., falls into the N. shore 
 of the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Schooners 
 of 80 and 90 tons can e iter its mouth, 
 but it is not navigable any distance up. 
 It is a fine salmon and trout stream.

 _ ST. LAWRENCE, one of the largest 
 rivers in North America, issues from 
 Lake Ontario in about 44 11 10' N. lat., 
 and 76 J 30 W. Ion., and flowing in a 
 N.E. direction, forming, in a part of its 
 course, the boundary between New 
 York and Ontario and Quebec, falls 
 into the Gulf of St. Lawrence by a 
 broad estuary, in about 49- 30 N. lat. 
 and 64 W. Ion. Viewing this river in 
 connection with the great western 
 lakes, of which it forms the outlet, it 
 may be said to rise at the sources of the 
 St. Louis, which flows into Lake Supe- 
 rior. It has received different names in 
 different parts of its course; between 
 Lake S iperior and Huron it is called 
 the St. Mary ; between Lake Huron and 
 Erie, the St. Clair and Detroit ; between 
 Lake Ontario, the Niagara; between 
 Lake Ontario and the Sea, it takes the 
 name of St. Lawrence. Its whole 
 length, including the chain of Lakes, is 
 estimated at 2,200 miles. The distance 
 from Lake Ontario to the Gulf of St. 
 Lawrence is about 750 miles. It is 
 navigable for ships of the line to Que- 
 bec, and for vessels of 4,000 tons to Mon- 
 treal. Between Montreal and Lake 
 Ontario, the navigation is much im- 
 peded by rapids, the most important of 
 which are the Cedar and Lachine Rap- 
 ids, the latter 9 miles above Montreal. 
 The total elevation between tide water 
 and Lake Ontario is about 230 feet. 
 This is overcome by 8 canals, varying 
 from 5 of a mile to llj miles in length 
 (but in the aggregate only 41 miles of 
 canal) having locks 200 feet long be- 
 tween the gates and 45 feet wide, with 
 an excavated trunk from 100 to 140 feet 
 wide on the surface, and a depth of 10 
 feet of water. The St. Lawrence can- 
 als were deepened for paddle steamers, 
 but from the magnitude of the rapids 
 and their regular inclination the aid of 
 the locks is not required in descending 
 the river. The passage from the head 
 of the I ake to Montreal is made by a 
 freighted steamer in 48 hours ; the up- 
 ward trip requires about 60 hours. 
 From Lake Ontario to Lake Erie an ele- 
 vation of 330 feet is overcome by a canal 
 28 miles in length with 27 cut stone 
 locks, 130 feet long by 26£ feet wide. 
 These locks will pass a craft of 500 tons 
 burthen, while those of the St. Law- 
 rence have double this capacity. The 
 enlargement of the former is, however, 
 
 now being undertaken, so as to meet 
 the wants of the great shipping trade 
 of the West. The total cost of the can- 
 als connected with the navigation is 
 estimated at $12,000,000; the enlarge- 
 ment of the Welland will add several 
 millions more to this sum. By m ana 
 of the Richelieu River and Ohambly 
 Canal, large vessels pass from the St. 
 Lawrence to Lake Champlain, which 
 communicates through the Champlain 
 Canal with the navigable waters of the 
 Hudson. The principal affluents of the 
 St. Lawrence are the Ottawa, 800 miles 
 long, forming the boundary between 
 Ontario and Quebec, and the St. 
 Maurice, Batiscan, and Saguenay from 
 200 to 400 miles. The breadth of the 
 St. Lawrence is very unequal, varying 
 from less than a mile to three or four 
 miles. Across its mouth, from Cap 
 Chatte to Pointe de Monls, the distance 
 is about 40 miles. This stream contains 
 many islands ; in an expansion of the 
 river near its egress from Lake Ontario 
 there is a multitudinous group called 
 the " Thousand Islands" presenting to 
 the traveller an endless variety of 
 charming scenery. This portion or the 
 river is sometimes called the " Lake of 
 the Thousand Islands," {Lac des Millet 
 Isles.) The great Victoria Bridge, 
 erected by the Grand Trunk at a cost 
 of about $7,000,000, spans the river at 
 Montreal. The St. Lawrence, with its 
 tributaries, drains an area estimated at 
 335,515 square miles, of which 90,000 
 are covered with the waters of the five 
 great lakes.

 the eo. of Saguenay and enters the 
 Saguenay river on the N. side, 18 miles 
 above Tadousac. It is one of the chief 
 trib 'taries of the S tgne iay. Its course 
 is very rapid and lies deeply bedded in 
 abrupt mountains. This river is parti- 
 cularly famous for its salmon, -which 
 are very abundant and of a large size. 
 Salmon go up it 60 mil s, but then 
 meet steep falls which prevent their 
 further ascent.

 fax, forming the harbor of St. Mary, 
 where it becomes navigable for the 
 largest vessels for about 10 miles. It 
 has a number of branches flowing 
 through a well wooded and rich mineral 
 country. 
 
 ST. MARY'S, a small lake on the 
 Gatineau river, 40 miles above its mouth. 
 
 ST. MARY'S STRAIT, or SAULT 
 STE. MARIE, separates Ontario from 
 the upper peninsula of Michigan, and 
 connects Lake Superior with Lake 
 Huron. It commences at the S.B. ex- 
 tremity of the former lake and after a 
 general S.B. course of 63 miles enters 
 Lake Huron by three channels. At 
 some places it spreads out into lakes; 
 at others rushes through narrow rapids, 
 or winds around beautiful islands. Its 
 entire length is navigable by ves- 
 sels drawing 8 feet of water up 
 to within 1 mile of Lake Superior. At 
 this point the natural limit of steam- 
 boat navigation is arrested by the 
 "Sault,"having a descent of 22 feet with- 
 in less than a mile. To overcome th's im- 
 pediment and give uninterrupted water 
 communication between the great lakes 
 a canal was cut in 1855. It is about a 
 
 mile long, with 2 massive stone locks, 
 each 250 feet long. The canal is 
 70 feet wide at the top and 61 feet at 
 the bottom. The depth of water is 
 12 feet. The main bodv of the canal 
 is excavated through rock. 
 
 ST. MAURICE, a river of Quebec, 
 one of the largest tributaries of the St. 
 Lawrence, takes its rise in two small 
 springs, one being in a savanne and the 
 other a £ mile from it, at the foot of a 
 small hill forming part of the height of 
 land between the province of Quebec 
 and North West Territories, over 400 
 miles N W. of Three Rivers, at which 
 place it falls into the St. Lawrence. Its 
 principal tributaries are the Shawena- 
 gan, Matawan, Rat, Vermillion, Flam- 
 niand, Ribbon, and Manouan from the 
 W., and Mekinak, Petite and Grande 
 Boston nais, Croche, Grande Pierriche, 
 Tranche, and Windigo from the E. It 
 expands into numerous lakes, some of 
 large size. Its banks are generally high, 
 in some places from 200 to IjOOO feet, 
 and covered with groups of majestic 
 trees. It is adorned with a number of 
 beautiful islands, and has a great vari- 
 ety of falls and cascades. The Falls 
 of Grand Mere and the Shaweneuan 
 Falls are particularly attractive to the 
 tourist. The latter are about 30 miles 
 from the city of Three Rivers. The 
 most remarkable place on the St. Mau- 
 rice is the Hudson Bay Company's 
 post of La Tuque, about 100 miles 
 from Three Rivers. Lat. 4V 18' 30" N.,

 Nearly all the rivers described in the 
 foregoing schedule are tidal streams, 
 and most of them have stationary sal- 
 mon and trout fisheries within the 
 embouchure, and at bays, coves, .and 
 inlets on either sides. Those upon the 
 north shore of the St. Lawrence 
 descend out of wild rocky and moun- 
 tainous country. Most of these streams, 
 with their numerous tributaries, and the 
 large lakes at the head of each branch, 
 present every variety of river and lake 
 adapted to the breeding and feeding of 
 fish.

 SASKATCHEWAN, a river of the 
 North Weat Territories, takes its rise in 
 the Rocky Mountains, in a small lake 
 near Mount Forbes, in about lat. 51° 
 50' N. Winding amongst the mountain 
 spurs near its source it follows a N.E. 
 diiection to Pointe aux Pins, thence it 
 runs N.N.E. to the foot of Big Horn Hill, 
 whence, having received the streamlet 
 of that name, it hastens eastward to 
 Mountain House. From this point to 
 Fort Edmonton its general direction is 
 N.E. ; it continues in the same direction 
 till it crosses the 54th parallel of lati- 
 tude, along which it runs and then 
 turns southward towards Furt I'it*, 
 and thus, between the latter and Fort 
 Edmonton, describes a large and almost 
 regular curve. From Fort Pitt the 
 river continues its S.E. course to the 
 Elbow, whence it turns suddenly to- 
 wards the N.E., first reaching Carlton 
 House and thence Cumberland House. 
 From the latter point its general course 
 is S.E., although its great winding 
 sometimes carries it towards the N., 
 and sometimes towards the S. This 
 great river divides into many branches 
 that flow capriciously through the vast 
 plain which they cut in various, and 
 frequently quite opposite, directions. 
 Clearwater river joins it near Mountain 
 House, and 75 miles farther down it 
 receives Brazeau river, called also 
 North Branch. From its source to 
 Mountain House, a distance of about 
 150 miles, the Saskatchewan is not 
 navigable From Mountain House to 
 Edmonton, about 150 miles, it is navig- 
 able with barges, and from Edmonton 
 to Carlton House, about 500 miles, with 
 steamers during a couple of months, 
 some years for a longer period. Be- 
 tween Carlton and Lake Winnepeg the 
 river is very well fitted for navigation, 
 except for 20 miles between Cedar Lake 
 and Lake Winnepeg, and about the 
 same distance in Coal rapids near + he 
 junction of the southern branch, about 
 
 50 miles be'ow Carlton. Total length 
 of the Saskatchewan about 1,200 miles. 
 The southern branch of the Saskatche- 
 wan has three main sou ces all flowing 
 from the Rocky Mountains, viz. : Gros 
 Ventres, Bow and Red Deer rivers. 
 From the S. bank of this great rive r 
 N.W. to Peace River the climate is 
 adapted to the growth of wheat. Coal, 
 salt, iron, gold and bitumen are am mg 
 the products to be found. For hundreds 
 of miles wild cattle can be seen 
 grazing in countless herds. The valley 
 of the Saskatchewan is fitted to sustain 
 as dense an agricultural population as 
 any area of equal extent on the face 
 of the globe. This valley is supposed 
 to be peopled by 17,000 Indians. Sas- 
 katchewan is an abbreviation of the 
 Cree word ''Kisiskatchewan'' (rapid 
 stream.) 
 
 SAUBLE,a river of Ontario, discharg-

 source to the Lake there are numerous 
 rapids, creating a large amount of 
 water power, only a portion of which is 
 used. Sturgeon, bass and pickerel are 
 taken in the Saugeen, and large quan- 
 tities of trout in its tributaries. In 
 1872 a large number of salmon fry 
 were put into its head waters as an 
 experiment.

 titled to notice for 2 or 3 very romantic 
 falls, where its stream is precipitated 
 from the declivity of one ridge to the 
 level of another, and for the beautiful 
 and truly sylvan scenery that decorates 
 its banks.

 expanse of fresh water on the globe. 
 It extends from lat, 40° 35 to 49- N., 
 t nd from Ion. 84° 30' to 92" J 20' W. It 
 has Minnesota on the W. and N.W., 
 Wisconsin and the N. peninsula of 
 Michigan on the S., and Ontario in all 
 other directions. Greatest length, 
 measured on a curve through its centre, 
 from E. to W. 420 miles ; greatest 
 breadth 100 miles; circuit about 1,750 
 miles. Estimated area 32,000 square 
 miles. Height above sea level 830 feet; 
 depth varying from 80 to 200 fathoms. 
 It is of very irregular shape, widening 
 towards its centre, and gradually nar- 
 rowing, partly towards itsE. but much 
 more so towards its W. extremity, thus 
 forming an irregular crescent, with its 
 vexity on the N. and its concavity on 
 the S. The N. shore is generally bold 
 and elevated, and extends about 12 
 miles, presenting almost continuous 
 ranges of cliffs, which vary in height 
 from 300 to 1,500 feet : the S. shore is 
 low and sandy, though occasionally 
 interrupted by limestone ridgeSj the 
 most remarkable of which, situated to- 
 wards the E. extremity, presents a per- 
 pendicular wall 300 feet high, broken by 
 numerous caverns and projections, and 
 forming, under the name of the Pictured 
 Rocks, one of the greatest natural curi- 
 osities in America. The central portion 
 of the Lake is clear of islands, which, 
 however, are numerous both towards 
 the S. and the N. side. In the former 
 direction they are generally small ;

 but in the latter, several, more especi- 
 ally the Isle Royal, are of considerable 
 dimensions, a d alo lg with the inden- 
 tation of the coast, afro d good shelter 
 for vessels. The water of the lake is 
 remarkable for its transparency, aid 
 derives its supplies from a ba-un esti- 
 mated at 100,000 square miles, which 
 is drained by more than 200 streams. 
 About 30 of these are of considerable 
 size, but they are almost all impe- 
 tuous torrents, interrupted by rocks 
 and rapids. The outlet is at the S.E., 
 by the "St. Mary's Strait, which commu- 
 nicates with Lake Huron and the ■ ther 
 great lakes whose waters reach the 
 ocean, through the St. Lawrence. St. 
 Mary s Sirait SaultSte. Marie) descends 
 22 feet in a distance of three fourths of 
 a mile, forming a series of rapids, 
 around, which a navigable canal has 
 been constructed forming the last link 
 of the chain of communication between 
 the great lakes, and adding above 1,700 
 miles to our coast trade. Within the 
 lake itself the only obstructions to its 
 navigation are the violent gales to 
 which it is subject. It is well supplied 
 with fish, principally trout, whitefish 
 and sturgeon. The two former are of'ex- 
 cellent quality and have led to the estab- 
 lishment of a number of fishing stations. 
 The principal export by the lake is 
 copper, of which veins of great rich- 
 ness and extent have been discovered 
 both on its shores and islands. The 
 silver mines of Lake Superior are very 
 rich. Successful and most profitable 
 explorations are being prosecuted on a 
 number of islands and on the main- 
 land by several companies. The 
 most valuable deposits yet found have 
 been on Silver Islet, where the yield is 
 prolific The boundary line between 
 Canada and the United States, in Lake 
 Superior, proceeds through its cen- 
 tre, till it approaches Isle Royal, 
 when it bends N., so as to give that 
 island entirely to the United States, 
 and is then carried S S.W. to its ter- 
 mination at the mouth of Pigeon River, 
 in lat. 48 N.

 and at the extremity of the cave is a 
 curious raised mass of stone, called the 
 " altar" from its strange resemblance 
 to such ; the floor is strewed with beau-

 affluents from the east are Beren's river 
 and the large and beautiful Winnepeg 
 river. Its only tributary from the south 
 is Red river, and among its many trib- 
 utaries from the west are Dauphin or 
 Little Saskatchewan river and the great 
 Saskatchewan river. It has no affluent 
 from the north. It discharges its own 
 surplus waters northward by the Nelson 
 River, through Play Green Lake, into

 portion of the stream, for a distance of 
 about 160 miles, has so many rapids, 
 falls and cascades that it is only nav- 
 igable for canoes and small boats. At 
 one place the Winnepeg takes the name 
 of White river, because the water is 
 everywhere foaming from the rapids 
 being very continuous. The most re- 
 markable affluents of Winnepeg river 
 are, on the N., Little English river, 
 which empties Lac Seul and is the 
 canoe route, via Albany river, to the

 Our aim is to make Stoves in smoothness of plate, quality of iron, and closeness 
 of fitting with any in the United States or Canada. This we have accom- 
 plished, and we challenge comparison in all these respects. 
 
 We have adopted the latest improvements in designs, after seeing the leading 
 Stoves of this Continent. Our 
 
 J^arlor cltlcL Cooking Stoves 
 
 have the anti-clinker grates, and the Parlor Stoves have the two rows of mica 
 lights the gas consumer within the stoves, and the flues are so arranged as to giva 
 a fire about as rapidly as wood, while the damper can nearly check the consump- 
 tion of fuel totally. 
 
 We forward Stoves to all parts of the Dominion promptly.
