the

.
Although
there

zinc
is
the

mineral
there,
and
the
treatment
of
the
ore
for
that
reason
may
be
a
large
undertaking.
From
descriptions
that
have
been
'
received,
it
is
evident
that
it
is
more
of
an
immense
body
of
medium

rather
than
a
high

proposition.

A

s.uch

seldom

marked
with
mediaeval
flavor,
and
reminiscent
of
the
great

will
be
observed

In

the
ritual
used
when
the

dedicated
also
on
a
hillside
overlooking

sea-will
be
extensively
followed.
Thus
past

present
will
be
linked,
as
the
English
Church
of

is
linked
with
the
faith
in
which
the
great
Gothic
buildings
were
reared
by
an
earlier
generation.
Nor
will
the
stately
symbolism
of

moves
from
the
old
building
to
the
new,
where
the
Bishop
of

becomes

In

Owing
to
the

EDMONTON,

Extensive
experiments
with
the
Alberta
tar
sands
from
the
Fort

deposits
are
to
be
made
by
an
eastern
Canadian
company
in
which
W.
P.
Hinton,
general
manager
with
the
HA
Grand
Trunk
Pacific
Railway
Cq.,
Is
interested,
according
to
an
announcement
made
by
Premier
J.
E.
Brownlee.
Mr.
Hinton,
continued
the
premier,
had
completed
arrangements
with
Dr.
Robert
Charles
Wallace,
president
of
the
University
of
Alberto,
and
other
members
of
the
Alberta
research
council
to
set
up
a
plant
at
the
old
Edmonton,
Dun-vegan
and
British
Columbia
Railway
terminal
on
the
St.
Albert
traU
where
experiments
would
be
carried
out
with
a
device
commonly
known
as
a
"centrifical
machine.
"Experiments
would
commence
as
soon
as
the
plant
Is
erected,
which
will
be
within
the
next
few
days,
and
will
be
continued
until
the
end
of
October.
The
research
councU
will
co-operate.
In
the
meantime,
said
the
premier,
the
government
plant
had
been
transferred
-btck
tp
the
Mc
Murray
area
and
in
conjunction
with
the
Dominion
government,
the
province
was
continuing
its
experiments,
the
Dominion
paying
particular
regard
to
the
cost
of
mining
and
the
province
to
the
process
of
separation.
This
work
will
be
continued
during
the
winter.
In

to
the

Throughout
