Deal not Closed |
Prospect’Good|

Reports hare’ variieared in several
papers of recent w eeks to the effect
that the Silver Standard mine at New
Hazelton {s to open. Some of the pa-
pers even went so far as to guess rz
the personnek of the staff-in charge of
the new company. Word to the Her:
ald from fife owners of the Silver
Standard is, to the effect that there is
nothing to ‘the reports and all were
premature and published without any
wuthority.’ Ag’ might be expected, so
important a property as the Silver
Stindard would evente interest among
men looking, for a legitimate - mining
proposition, and negotiations have for
some time been going on. but up to the
yesentt no deal has ret heen closed
and 10 company . to handle. the pro-
perty has yet: ‘been Sueorporated.

CANADA'S FLORAL REGIONS.

As the Dominion of Canada covers
snch a large territory, there, may be
considerable differences of opinion as
to the various floral. regions which
may be recognized.: Taking into ac-

sent distribution of- ‘plants, | there are.
at any rate, six well defined floral re-
gions, viz. Arctic, Northern, Eastern,
Southern, Prairie and Western or Cor
dilleran. With regard to the Actic
region, while the growing season
short and the lower strata of. the snil
remains frozen, it is a mistake to sup-
pose that this.arca is devoid of plant
life. As a matter of fact, the colors
of the Arctic flowers, such. as the~blne
Innings, nzaleas, vhododendrons and
Arctic primroses. are deeper than else-
where. Like other floral areas, the
Actic has plants ‘that are not found
outside tts.own. district, just. as in the
sunthern aréa. there Are 47 kinds of
plants which do not occur in any other
part of Canada. Although only three
‘Species ot trees anpear to be confined
‘to the Prairies: (the Inrge-leafed cot-
tonwood, narrowlenfed, cotton wool
and _praivie nsh)} the prairie Tegion, enn
boast of 267 species of characteristic
nlnnts whieh do*not grow outside the
| great. plains,. while. in the eastern re-
gion the snecies of. plants found in:
that area are too numerous ‘to ennut
erate. “As there isa “certain amount:
of ov evlanping of the floras’ of any bre!
ndjacout arens. the ‘boundries’ of the
varions regions. are not. ‘to! ‘be ‘defined
