18139Watertown NY. 4 pp on a single folded sheet 8.5 x 11 inches when folded. Undated but reprints an article from The American Mining News August 1901. Old creases from folding staple holes at upper corner all else very good. Dunbar a broker appeals to Americans for investment in this Canadian mining region because "Canadians besides lacking the mining experience are too slow to take advantage of the golden opportunities which are being grasped by the more venturesome Americans." The Rainy River District he says "possess advantages over almost every other gold mining country in the world" due to easily worked ores and ready access to fuel water transportation and labor. There was apparently something to these claims as the area is seeing a resurgence in commercial mining activity today. Not found in OCLC. unknown books

The instrument consists of at least 23 cast bronze cup-shaped bells which are played serially to produce a melody or together to play a chord. A traditional manual carillon is played by striking a keyboard—the stick-like keys of which are called batons—with the fists and by pressing the keys of a pedal keyboard with the feet. The keys mechanically activate levers and wires connected to metal clappers which strike the bells." <br /> <br />Here this Carillon "was installed and inaugurated in the presenced of His Excellency the Viscount Willingdon Governor General of Canada at noon on the first day of July 1927 on the occasion of the celebration of the sixtieth anniversary of the Confederation of Canada." <br /> <br />Uncommon no copies located on OCLC.
