lug aud Kxplor-.tion waa
formed mih a capital i. $0,00
OoO in shares of $5,0u0 < of
which 12,$00,*00 was paid up.
Shares wero takea up by prominent
bankers and financiers in C'-uada
and Mew York, the object of the
company ueing to investigate scien
tifically aud develop ruining pro
parties in Canada which showed
real proui.se. The directors of the
company comprised some of tiie
best fcuowu names iu Canada. It
has uow beeu decided to liquidate
the company and return the assets
to the shareholders.
Two futures iu regard to this
uudertaK'us are exceptionally note
worthy. We have here a company
with a easu capital of $2,500,WOO
which ha. been in existence tor
three >eart aud has employed :: »•.
mining engineers to ex;.:.. e p.'
perties offered to them wuich, ac
cording to our Montreal contempor
ary, the Financial Times, involved
an investigation of l,i>oo mining
propositions. No propt rites wore
purchased, and tiie only business
entered into by the cj~.p a\_ was a
small participation ;.. .. .
writing cl aa Alaska u....< _ c, i
pany. Almost the entire capital .>f
the comi)...iy v ^ invested in gilt
eiac secaiities, the interest on
which a^i-an-aity paid for the com
pany's expenses. The selection of
its investments was so wisely chos
en that ;n August ef last year, in :
spite of the demoralisation ot
stock markets, the decrease of |
assets only amounted to $14,412.
The stockholders will be repaid j
their original investment in full
with, it is stated, a small addition
al payment of interest yn their
money.
The rc&?on ior the liquidation
of the company is stated to be i ■.
extravagant terms demands d by
owners of properties investigated.
According to our Montre i cjuteni
porary, during; the first >
the company's operation
miiuu< properties wrr
by the company's e::;
these per c_at w .o i
less developed mines and thv> re
mainder prospects. Of theso
properties we are told that 30 per
tent met iho requirements of the
uirectors of the Exploration Com
pany, but in no case was the. com
pany able to coma to terms with
the owners owing to the extrava
gant o rms demanded.
The liquidation of tkU Important
company, the most Important both
in voiut of capital and from the
standing of Its directorate and
shareholders that ha3 yet been
formed in Canada for the purpose,
must no- be considered a rea'loc
*Vn on the value of the mineral
resources of the Dominion. The
outpu» c£ gold from the Porcupine
mines and silver from Cobalt final
ly disposes of any such suggestion,
aud the exceedingly healthy con
dition of the mining industry In
Iiritish Columbia today Indicates
the uotsu'ial resources of Canada's
mining industry. The owner of a
mining claim is naturally apt to
believe that he has staked out a
property of immense value, and it'
he possesses neither the means nor
the enterprise to risk a large sum
of money in proving its value he n
nevertheless frequently unwilling to
let others take the risk before pay
ing him a substantial cash price for
permission to risk their money,
l'ais is uc-t a business proposition,
and the directors o' the Canadian
Miuing and Exploration Company
and their techulcal advisers were
unwilling to explore unproved min
ing &rope:ties on such terms.

, tary Morrison, oi the American ;
j Federation of Labor in a atate
| Lient made before the House com
i mittee on labor, urged U-at the
' literacy test for iuimiir.ation be
| ugaia brought up in, order that!
thq influx of unskilled workers!
trom ill pi European countries might:
! be checked.
The labor 1 eider declared that
all incl«.tions pointed to a tre
meudouo influx of immigrants into ,
the l'iiited States iollowing the
cessation of hostilities fti Europa ,
ifo believes that ULuUixUa of thou
sands 01 workers who have become
dissatisfied with conditions in Eu
rope, icaipted by th-j high wages
prevalent here will seek entrance
'nto America and will cause tho
wage scales here to drop.
Mr. Morrison said, that President
Wilson and Secretory Redfleld, of
tho Department of Commerce, had
expressed fear that the United
States would be flooded with the
products of the cheap labor of ;
Europe but that they had taken
uo steps to prevent tho cheap la
bor of Europe from coming to Am
erica to compete with, the American
workers.
A measure providing for a lit
eracy tost, requiring that immi
grants seeking admission to the
United States shouid be able to
read aud write forty words ixl their
own language, was passed by con
gress .'our years -".go, but was
vetoed by Prcsid r. Taft.
