Iii is regretted that there is to Large a reduction in the area of land taken up m Rome steeds by actual Bettler. Doubt is owned by the unfavourable Imp Renion created by the drought of the a Ratoiu Tiar. The area of land granted under Preemption entry is necessarily very Small Ai the tight to cd Taib Preemption entries fenced Render the provisions of the statute on the 1st january 1890. The number of issued during the year we and the number can celled 20. The Revenue received during the year from Dominion lands was the refunds were 74. Making a net Revenue of As comp died with for the previous year. The receipts on account of ordnance lands were making it total of 22178. Tip feb a Heel and oha2ino lands. The Revenue from the above to Rosa during the year amounted to an increase As compared with 1889 of 51. The Timber dues Are larger than Tbone of 1889 by being for of cols year of the Revenue from Timber 09 was derived from bonuses ground rents and Royal ties on Timber Cut from lands in the railway Belt in British Columbia being an Imo Rease of 937, 440.32 Over the previous year. Graz ing lands show a decreased Revenue an com pared with 1889, of 03, but the Duea received for Hay the amount received the previous year by the receipts for minerals other than Coal were the amount received for Coal lands waa being More than the previous yet. The total area of Coal lands sold up to Date is acres and the total ram received therefor k1l1abnkt oboe tabs. Last Evaeon the settlers in this Colony had under cultivation acres mostly in wheat in addition to which they have broken for the coming season 859 agree to that they will have a total acreage of top during 1891 of about acres. The Bay Cut amounted to Over 500 tons and the crops generally were very Good. The wheat was Short in the Straw but the Heads were Large and Well filled. Gate were a Good average Cro j potatoes a Good crop and All the live Stock is looking Well. The advantage of locating crofters amongst practical Farmers has been fully demons in this Case. Their ploughing and the area they have under cultivation show that the example set them by earlier settlers has not been loan upon them. Their Comfort Able financial condition also indicates that they have Token advantage of the Opportunity of obtaining remunerative employment offered them by their More advanced neighbors. It it generally understood that the Young crofters Are Good workers and they Are therefore in great demand. 8altcoat3 Croft pm. Last season the sat Flers in this Colony had under cultivation 239 acres mostly in wheat and Oats besides which they have broken for the e coming season 182 giving them a total acreage of crop during 1891 of about 421 acres. The Hay cat amounted to 568 tons the wheat and oat crops were excellent. The Straw Strong and the Heads very Large and full and where properly cared for were a very Good crop. On Only two farms have gophers done any damage and Thia is owing to the fact that the crofters were sup plied by the department with Gopher traps borne damage resulted to Grain and Bay Dur ing Harvest from the rain. The live Stock is in Good condition. The Success of this class of settlers will have an important practical bearing upon the wider question of immigration. Fart v of the report is a very interest ing account of an exploratory Survey to Hud son Bay by the Well known and intrepid explore win. Ogilvie F. . Obain crop. The acreage under crop in Manitoba last season As shown by the statistical records of the provincial government was Acree or about in excess of the pre Vious season. The result though not a satisfactory As expected in the Early summer is above toe average. Slight damage from Hail and Frost occurred in a few localities As already stated and Harvest operations were much retarded by heavy Rains. The injury done co wheat by Frost and rain reduced the yield and spoiled the the wet caused cities. In spite however of these drawbacks the average yield per acre As deduced from re liable data was in Manitoba 22 bushels of wheat 40 do ahls of Oats and 30 bushels of Barley or a total yield for the province of about bushels of wheat Oats and Buah Sla of Barley. The Tamplee of Aba and Barley Are reported As fair. The yield of potatoes was about 235 bushels per acre which would give at least bushels for the province. The Quality waa Well spoken of. There is not eff indent data upon which to base a similar estimate for the territories but the information available indicates the average yield to a about the same a that of Manitoba railways. V in connection with the estimate of sir Charles Topper in 1883 As to the Revenue to be derived from Dominion lands for the succeeding ten years the Deputy minister or. Burgess has the following important re Marks to Thure ban been a Good Deal of discussion in parliament respecting the estimate made in 1883 by sir Charles Tupper upon a abort memorandum i bad prepared for his information As to the Revenue Likely to be derived from Dominion lands. The result proved that the estimate was too hopeful but this i think a a proper time to Point out that there Are foots in connection with the Revenue to which it related that been entirely Over looked. The lands which the government in tended Selling at the Date when this pre diction waa made have a ice either been thrown open for free Tower Stead deity As for example the even numbered sections South Era Manitoba and the portion of the territories which trere then under1 Reserve for the purpose of being sold or have been granted to colonization railway As. For instance the Manitoba Western railway company the Manitoba North Western railway company and Othera. The total mileage of railways now actually strutted in Manitoba and the e Northwest territories for which free of land have been made since the Date of the prediction referred to is As follows Miles.

Assuming the length of this Road to be 660 in Lee and the land Grant to be no greater in value than that to the other companies although in the Northwest ten tories it is acres per the lands which will have been earned when the Road has been built will be it Wil thua be seen that Al though the go Veincent have not received in Money they have in Money from the lands disposed of a proportion of theum mentioned in my memorandum to sir Charles Tupper Likely to be realized which is surprisingly Large considering the several depressing and wholly unexpected occurrences which have affected All the inter ests of Manitoba and the territories. There is in Manitoba the and British Columbia a total mileage of railways of while the construction of 383 Mues during the present year is contemplated . The report a carefully compiled and reflects great credit on or. A. Burgess the Deputy minister. Livestock. Tha live Stock Industry is clearly in a flour Niehing condition and Export to end opera markets has commenced. So far fortunately for those engaged in the business a Good and paying Market has Peon found a1 their very doors. The beef supplied to the indians and mounted police instead of being imported front the United states As in the years previous to the of the ranching Industry is now procured at Home and beef is now tue extensively for the maintenance of the Indiana instead of the Chicago pork which atone time was supplied. An excellent lows of horses is being imported. Export on a Small scale in expected to commence next year and the pros Peats for the future Are very Auu our aging. A Good Market has hitherto been found for the surplus product among the in coming settlers and Tbs Market is Likely to improve so far As relates to animals in tended for farm work. There ban Aleo been a Satis factory increase in the number of sheep although on account of Ahe Low Price of Wool Progress has not maintained the same ratio As m the Case of horses and cattle. Forest sires. The subject of the Protection of the Timber of Manitoba the Northwest territories and that on Dominion lands in the province of British Columbia has received As in former years much and very careful consideration. At the beginning of the present Calendar year a circular letter was sent to All persons who had acquired Timber berths inviting them to co operate with the govern ment in giving effect to the pro visions of the act for the prevention of Forest fires and asking them to share with the government the expense of main Taining Forest rangers to guard their berths from fire. The proposition Haa been readily accepted by the licensees from whom replies have so far been received. Effect however cannot be Given to the proposition until the proportion of the expenditure involved which has to be paid by the government Haa been voted by minerals other than Coal. The Only amendments which have been made to the mining regulations Are those get Forth in the order in Council of the 18bh of Decem Ber last by which an applicant for a Petroleum location who has otherwise complied with the requirements of the regulations May to Able to obtain an entry Tor a location upon his making affidavit than from indications he verily believes that Petroleum exists on the location applied location however not to be sold to the applicant until a period of five years from the Date of entry prescribed by the regulations unless he can in addition to compliance with the requirements aforesaid f Irnie proof to the satisfaction of the Minuter of the Interior that he has at " least one Oil Well in operation thereon and is producing therefrom Petroleum in paying Quanti ties and provided further that if at the end of five years from the Date when tha applicant obtains entry he cannot furnish such proof the entry shall be cancelled and the rights and privileges of the person obtaining the entry thereupon cease and determine in respect of such location. The regulations before they were thus amended provided that no mining location or mining claim should be granted until actual discovery had been made of the Mineral applied for within the limits of the location or claim. This being the Law it prevented a Large number of applicants from receiving entry for Petroleum locations for which they had applied because they were not Able to make the requisite affidavit of actual co very and it was thought that this might operate to retard the develop ment of lands supposed to contain Petro Leum. Since the regulations have been amended As agent of Dominion lands it Lethbridge has granted eighty four entries for Petroleum locations in townships 1, 2, 3 and 4, ranges and 30, weat of the 4th Meridian.
