Ontario and Quebec.

Gold.

The gold mines of Marmora and Made, with the exception of the Feigel, are ice owing to litigation or want of capitd. The Feigel mine is said to pay a fair sir-plus over working expenses. The Gatling and other mines have all the necessary plant, and the gold is undoubtedly these. Pity it should stay there from the caues named.

Considerable activity has been displayed in the Chaudière District since our last issue, something over 1,000 ounces of gold having been extracted, and the production continuing at an increased rate, returning, we are informed, over $120. per man per month. Quite recently sone very nice nuggets have been found on the surface, one weighing over three pounos. An average force of 60 men has been at work on the Gilbert. The Famine River has been well tried, but with little or no success; but the little creek called the Rulsseau d'Ardolse, not far off that stream, appears to be rich in nuggets.

"Color" appears everywhere or nearly so in the Parishes of St. Francois and S. George, and particles of gold dust In nearly every shovelful of earth washed. Nev hands are rapidly flocking to the District, and we may hope for satisfactory developments next year
