Coal exists in Nova Scotia

New Brunswick, British Columbia, and the Northwest Territories. The Nova Scotia and New Brunswick fields are of great extent, and the value of this output in British Columbia alone is second only to that of its gold. Anthracite is found in Queen Charlotte and Vancouver Islands. The soil is generally clay, beneath a rich vegetable loam, and is covered in its natural. state with oak, elm, walnut, white wood, pine fir, and maple trees. It is well adapted to general agriculture, and is capable of the highest cultivation. The climate varies greatly. In the S. provinces the summers are warm, and, although the winters are cold, they are pleasant and | bracing. In the W. the climate is milder than in the rest of the Dew minion. In the extreme N. the ground is covered with snow nearly the entire year and the winters are very severe. The greater part of the Dominion is covered with forests. The greater part of Nova Scotia, Quebee, New Brunswick, Ontario, and Vancouver Island, beside the country lying between Lake Superior and the Rocky Mountains, is admirably adapted to agriculture. And this industry is rapidly developing. The fisheries are also extensive and profitable.
