Bancroft Town.| ship Add One More to the World's Luxuries\u2014The Economic Side.| i Little Bancroft village, up by the rock-bui.t little York River in Bancroft: Township, County of Hastings, has given birth to a geological romance.The chicf figure in this interesting epi- ! sode is the Princess of Wales.The other leading characters are Messrs.Charles Allom and John Duveen, of London, and Mr.Thomas Morrison, of Aberdeen.The kernel of the romance, almost after the fashion of the philosopher's stone, is a certain precious blue stone called sodulite, with at least three kinds of marble, From these curious conjunctions fit happens that at present three miles from the vi.lage of Bancroft there are strange new quarri-s, with horses and men at werk clearing off the land, in and about the village £1500 has been gpent in a few months, and to Toronto at the end of last week came two English gentlemen, bubb ing over with a tale of adventure that promises to create à new industry in Canada, says The News.The two gentlemen were Messrs.Allom and Duveen.Mr.Allom is the active partner in the well-known firm of White & Aliom, of London.the lead- fng decorators in the British Empire.Mr.John Duveen is the leading member of the celebrated firm of Duveen Brothers, London and New York, known to the Anglo-Saxon world as the leading high art dealers in the British Empire.Wour days ago these gentlemen were pounding roughshod over the granite hills and the knee-deep marshes of Bancroft Township.Five nights ago with Mr.Morrison.their geologist, and the picturesque old settler, Gaehel, who lives all gone in the hills, they were rambling under a moonless sky with @ farmer's lantern in a last search for a mountain of white marble.They found it before daylight, Consequently Mr.Allom telegraphed to cancel his berth on the S.§ Philadelphia.missed his train out of Bancroft, and almost by accident dropped off at Toronto for a few hours, where these interesting em- plorers were interviewed.On a table lay several bits of blue, white and green rock.Mr.Allom picked up a dark blue chip and held it up to the light.\u201cWe shall call it the Royal Victoria fapis lazula.\u201d he said.\u201cSo far as is known, there is no other deposit in the worid just lke it.It came from the Township of Bancroft, not far from Madoc.That stuff will polish like a diamond.Pay a visit to Mr.Pierpont Morgan soon and you shall see a border of it round his new library.At Marlborough House vou shall see it.As for omaments, beautiful buttons.umbrella handles.and all such, it is simply & new sensation.\u201cThe Princess wili simply be dellght- ed when she sees our box of specl- men,\u201d added Mr.Allom.\u201cYes; we have christened our quarry the Princess Quarry and our company the Princess Quarry Co.\u201d \u201cThe story dates back to the time when the Princess, then the Duchess of Cornwall and York, visited Canada.While in Montreal, Mr.Reid there pre While in Montreal, Mr.Reid there presented her with about thirty beautifully polished stones\u2014blue, green and white.They had been got by Mr.Will- mot.the Dominion geologist, and polished by him.Two years ago the Princess sent for me, as I had been doing the decorations of Marlborough House.\u2018Mr.Allom,' she said.\u2018If these stones came from Hastings County.in Ontario, why cannot more be found like them?Why cannot a new Canadian industry be established, employing skiil- ed Canadian labor polishing these stones for England?\" It now began to be evident what the Princess of Wales had to do with this romance.Just another case of womanly intuition getting ahead of science, even fn a commercial proposition.For the best part of a century the blue and white rocks in Hastings county have been dotted with settlers.They raised cattle that browsed and grazed on the sodolite, And one day, according to legend.thirteen years ago.a settlers cow slipped on a rock.The hoof left a Jong blue mark in the light soil.Afterwards a geologist studied the formation, and for a little while the settlers talked about it.But it Was nel- ther gold not diamonds, and the nine days wonder ceased.Certainly it would not have been revived but for the practical intuition of the Princess.\u201cThe upshot of it was,\u201d continued Mr.Allom, \u201cthat the Princess handed the whole collection over to me to exploit Four months afterwards I met Mr.Thomas Morrison, a quarrying expert of Aberdeen, who had done contracts for me.\u2018Morrison,\u2019 I sald, showing him a bit of that common white marble, \u2018what do you think of that?\u201d \u201cHe Inoked at it hard.\u2018Let me have that.he said.He pocketed it.Short- 1y afterward he came to me with a proposal to go to Canada.\u2018I want to

house right on the dge of a quarry.and moved into it vefore it was done.Mr.Morrisor Sought Sryperties and got options on sold us 600 acres, and encouraged other men to sell out also.In a short while Mr.Morrison was able to go ahead.He bought horses and hired men; built a blacksmith shop and started in to dc some quarrying.\u201d But the most absorbing episode in the narrative, aside from the discovery of the marvelous mountain of blue sodolite, was the story of how these gentlemen discovered the hill of white .marble, isolated bits of which had already been Jocated by Mr.Morrison.Mr.Allom had already booked his passage back to England, but determined to have one more quest for white marble.They might even yet ' ind the staxuary marble deposits that would sidet:ack the quarries of Carrara in Italy, the only known source of the world's statuary marble.Only one night remained.They took it.The three men with old man Gae- bel as a guide started out.This was last Wednesday night, with not the glint of a moonbeam and the weirdest tramp ever taken by the old settler, who had been on those hills forty years.And after they had tramped , U.1 long past midnight they located a continuous ridge of white marble, returning with tired legs and great joy to the Gaebel homestead.The next day they made further explorations.The result was that for the first time in the history of the world they discovered signs that down beneath the white building marble of the surface lay a huge deposit of the finest statuary marble, as good as any in the quarries of Carrara.Leaving Mr, Morrison to look after the claim, Messrs.AJJom and Duveen came on to Toronto to confer with their solicitors, \u201cNow,\u201d concluded Mr.Allom, after he hud displayed pleces of sca-green marble and a plece of amethyst all from Bancroft, \u201cwhat does this discovery of white statuary marble mean?It means that whereas now sculptors have to pay £4 a cubic foot for Car- rara marble, they can get it from Canada at $1 a foot.It means that where a block large enough for a statue costs now £336, it can be got from Canada for one-quarter that amount.And we expect that the new statue of her late Majesty will yet be made of Bancroft marble from the County\u2019 of Hastings.As for the marble sodolite that is already a Canadian monopoly.In course of time we shall quarry, polish and deslgn these stone right in Canada, em- pioying Canadian labor, and we shall ship not only abroad, but to the United States, if the duty does not prevent us.As for the white and green bulld- ing marble, that can be quarried cheap in paying quantities, although, of course, labor is dearer here than in Belgium.The only other sources of the ordinary granite sodolite are Bulgaria and a ridge in the north of Maine.We have water power on our properties, but we have already negotiated in Toronto for steam engines which will be shipped at once.We shall both of us be back in August to go over the property again.\u201d And so ended the rambling, romantic story of how the Princess of Wales initiated by her womanly intuition what promises to develop into one of the most distinctive and world-re- nowned industries of this colony, as well as a further link in the chain of Imperialism.The Salmon Fisheries, With the exception of the Puget Sound region, all salmon fisherles outside of Alaska had a prosperous season in 1904, handsome gains having been made on the Columbia River and the salmon streams of Washington, Oregon and California.This is quite contrary to the outlook about the middle of the summer, but the later runs were profuse, and packing was continued for a longer period than usual.The Puget Sound canneries suffered severe.y, meeting a loss from last year of nearly 50 per cent.The product of the several reglons was as follows: 1903.1904.Cases.Cases.British Columbia .473,674 465,894 Puget Sound.veces.455,393 276,920 Columbia River .333,168 423,073 Washington, Oregon and

&c- counted for by the decrease in Alaska.The total value of the Alaskan output, at the figures furnished by the packers in all cases but one, was $7,- 735,782.The figures show a loss of $2,- 653,853 from the aggregate market value of the pack for 1903.The aggregate number of salmon of all varietles taken was 28,028,841, against 34,615,813 in 1903.The total number of hands employed was 12,- 867, made up of 5.645 whites, 2,002 natives, 3,499 Chinese, and 1,721 Japanese.The Introduction of Japanese labor was practically new last year, and was rendered necessary by the difMi- culty in procuring Chinamen to man the canneries.A considerable number of Filipinos and Porto Ricans were al- 80 employed in work heretofore done by Chinese.Has a Queen of the May.British Columbia is the one part of the

Wm.M.Pike Se 10c, TO 40c, PER DOUBLE ROLL THE RICHEST DESIGNS LARGEST ASSORTMENT AND LOWEST PRICES IT WILL SOON BE TIME TO PAPER a TO BE SEEN IN LONDON BRITISH PORTRAITURE IN THE NATIONAL PORTRAIT GALLERY.One of the Most Popular and Cherish- od of National Possessions Found Favor With Englishment Just Fifty Years Ago\u2014How to Gather the Historic Sequence of the Examples Shown, Carlyle\u2019s opinion that historical portrait galleries ought to exist in every country as among the must popular and cherished national possessions found favor with Englishmen just fifty Years ago.During that period our National Portrait Gallery at St.Martin\u2019s-In-the-Fields has grown to be one of the sights of London.It has many artistic treasures, but interest concentrates on the subjects, likenesses of the makers of our history, socia., political, and intellectual, writes W.E.C., in Lloyd's Weekly.Students desirous of following the historic sequence of the examples should at once ascend to the highest gallery and inspect downwards to the others.In enumerating the most important works a principle of selection will be the combination of historical importance with artistic attraction.Occasionally the latter feature must be passed, as In the quaint.sma\u2019l, full length of Chaucer.It is very old, most likely capted from a miniature, the or- ginal whence has come so many other likenesses.The face of Richard Il.accords with his full length in Westminster Abbey: and the Richard IT.toying with his finger ring has a note of veracity In it from the sinister expression in the eyes, ably given.In these cases, As in others when the ar- fists name is unmentioned, it must be interred that the painter is unfixed or unknown, In the topmost chambir the walls are rich with memorials of the Tudors and distinguished personages of the epoch.Henry VII.a bust portrait traced by a Flemivh hand.somewhat small, full of fine coor, is not to be easily furgotten, for \u201cthe astute, even wily, Inok in the ewes.The painting is fine, look In the eyes.The painting is fine.particularly of the hand.\u201cBluff King Hal\" appears thrice.each example indicating obdurate and sensual character: all of the Hoibein school\u2014 litera® and forcible, Three of the ruler's wives can be seen, Catherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn, and Catherine Howard, the last portrait being fin: ly preserved.Intellectual interest gathers around Wolsey, in scarlet robe, and Thomas More\u2014about the cardinal iff only for building Hampton Court end founding the magnificent Christ Church, Oxford: in the Chancellor as & martyr for religious principle and writing \u201cUtopia.\u201d Its author, with his pale, ascetic visage, is painted in the Holbein manner.Queen Mary Tudor's face can oaly excite sympathy from its pailor and air of dejection, to which the countenance of her sister, Elizabeth, offers strong contrast in its brilliant complexion and animated eyes, set off by the hair of rich auburn.Of the several likenesses of \u201cGood Queen Bess\u201d perhaps the most interesting is the miniature by Nicholas Hilliard The Queen's love of fine costume and costly ornaments makes ltself felt throughout.\u201cThat godly and Royal child, King Edward the Sixth, the flower of the Tudor name, untime.y cropped as it began to fill our land with its early odors,\u201d to quote Charles Lamb, appears as a child, and when older in a landscape picture.once owned by Charles I.Edward's cousin, Lady Jane Grey, meets the cye in, probably, the dress she wore at her trial and when undergoing execution.The picture was painted by Louis D'Heere, During the sway of these monarchs, covering the period 1486-1603, the glory of England was enhanced by wonderful genius and patriotism.Many of their children are here commemorated by the artist, from the gallant and, accomplished Henry Howard, who as poet celebrated the beauty of the \u201cfair\u201d Geraldine,\u201d to Shakespeare, whose quiet eye regards the onlooker from Droeshon\u2019t engraving.There are portraits of Willlam Cecil.fir:t Baron Burghley, the great pontical Minister.in his Garter robes, probably by Marcus Gheeraedts; Bishop Jewel; Arch- birhop Cranmer.by Piccius; High Latimer and Nicholas Ridley the Protestant martyrs; Raleigh, \u201cElizabeth's soldier,\u201d most likely from the brush of Zuccaro; Sir Nicholas Bacon, who he:d the Great Seal In Elizabeth's time; Van Somers full-length standing figure of his son, Francis Bacon.Baron Verulam.fn hat and black gown.gold embrold- ered, a man whose imperial intellect did more for scientific inquiry thon any preceding author: and George Buchanan, one of the greatest of Latin- ists.Associated with this epoch are three splendid pictures.One is Miere- veldt's half-length.in armor, of Wrin- thesley, third Earl of Southampton, statesman and patron of letters, immortal by eur master poet's dedication of \u201cVenus and Adonis.\u201d Next is Antonio More's riveting Sir Thomas Gresham, the \u201cMgrchant Royal\u201d In sumptuous black velvet, who founded the first Royal Exchange and the college bearing his honorrd name still busy in the cause of culture, Then there is Gheeraedts\u2019 representation of the brau- tiful Mary Sidney.Countess of Fem- broke.\u201cSidney's sister.\u201d of whom Wil- Ham Browne wrote in her epitaph thet before Death could slay annther so fair.learned, and good, Time should throw a dart at him.The painter from the Low Countries who worked for Elizabeth had a cunning hand.and could admirably elaborate ruffs and stiff habits rich with pearls and other Jewels, It iz all skilfully done in the portrait, but well subordinated ta the face, noble in intellect and gondness.The picture ig one of the most engaging works in the collection, The celebrated Queen of Scota, of course, starts the Stuart rulers.There are several pictures of her.and despite variations there {s an exprs-ien common in al.Sentimental Interests foi- lows them, for personal beauty.like &ood nature.wings even with shortcomings.It cannot be denird, ton, fhat the family always had the power of drawing people to their cause, from the King whose soldiers \u201cstood around him while the night darkrned on Flodden\u201d to \u201cBonnie Prince Charite.\u201d In the white head dress, being mourning for her first husband, the face of Mary.\u2014 | I T\u2014r\u2014\u2014\u2014 sald ts be by Clouet, has strange charm; as, again, in the representation of her in the wide ruff, attributed to Oudrey.A noteworthy feature in the collection is the art depicting later members of the line.They were direct descendants of James IL, Prince James, \u201cChevalier Bt.George,\u201d the \u201cOld Pretender,\u201d and his sister Princess Louiso, both painted as children by Largil.lere: also Prince Charles Edward, the \u201cYoung Pretender,\u201d who raised the standard of rebellion in Scotland for his father, and, after defeat, fled to France, and, later, lived in Rome under the title of the Count of Albany.The exile appears in an oval by Ba- toni.Batoni's likeness of the \u201cYoung Pretender's\u201d brother, who was ordained a priest at Rome, and became a cardinal, is also an oval.All the examples are animated and attractive, and must be a source of great interest to the \u201clatter-day Jacobites\u201d\"\u2014always reverential to the memory of the Stuarts.The earller monarchs and their queens are well represented on the walls.The visitor beholds Zuc- caro\u2019s Jamesl.and Van Somers Anne of Denmark; Charles L, after Van Dyck much as the King looks from canvases owned by the Duke of Norfolk and the Earl of Pembroke, and Henrtetta Maria, from Van Dyck; Greenhll'a Charles II, in Garter robes, and Dirk Stoop\u2019s Catherine of Braganza in Portuguese costume; Liley's James II, described as \u201cthe man who lost three kingdoms for a mass.\u201d a standing flg- ure in armor; and Wissing\u2019s Mary of Modena.The last geigning Sovereign of the dynasty, Anne, daughter of James when Duke of York and Anne Hyde, daughter of the Earl of Clarendon, appears in a picture by Clos- terman, in coronation robes, crowned and bearing the orb and sceptre.In looking at the earlier work in the gallery it must occur to the ordinary observer that native art did not strike root until the advent of Hogarth, The first portraitists in our counisy were Holbein, Moore Zuccaro, D'Heere, My- tens and Van Somer, who created a school of followers.Then came Van Dyck, Lely, and later Kneler, who carried, out their methods.Dob- son and Robert Walker were the exceptions.What Englishman can look without deep interest on the faces of Royalist and Roundhead, who were engaged in the great struggle between Charles and the Parliament?We can see Siraf- ford, his hand resting on his dog, more faithful than the weak King: Waller, the Parliamentary general; Cromwell, the armed soldier and uncrowned King of Puritans; the fiery Rupert, and Milton from the life, traced by the graver of Faithorne.Jan Wyck's WilMam III.in armor fmpresses.Prominent among the mem- orfals of Queen Anne's time are Knel- ler's John Churchill, Duke of Marlborough, and his Duchess, nee Sarah Jennings, the husband and wife alike fascinating in face and mien.The Victorian portraits may be introduced by naming that of her late Majesty as represented by Sir George Hayter, throned in Dalmatle robes on the occasion of her coronation in 1838.The work, like Winterhatter's full- length of the Prince Consort, was Queen Victoria's gift to the nation.Among likeneses of the Victorian premiers are Melbourne, Peel, Russell, Palmerston, Disraell, and Gladstone.Lowes Dickenson\u2019s Richard Cobden and Ouless\u2019's John Bright commemorate the two great apostles of Free Trade and the champions of untaxed Press.Great scientists of the reign are represented in Phillips Faraday, Pickersgill's Sir Richard Owen, and Samuel Laurence\u2019s Sir Charles Wheatstone, who first applied the electric telegraph to public use.The chief poets are seen in Watt's Tennyson, Leh- mann's Browning, and Watt's Matthew Arnold.There also can be seen Machse's graceful Dickens, master humorist of the century;
