 re 
 
 Original copies in printed paper covers are filmed 
 beginning with the front cover and ending on 
 the last page with a printed or illustrated impres- 
 sion, or the back cover when appropriate. All 
 other original copies are filmed beginning on the 
 first page with a printed or illustrated impres- 
 sion, and ending on the last page with a printed 
 or illustrated impression. 
 
 The last recorded frame on each microfiche 
 shall contain the symbol -^ (meaning "CON- 
 TINUED "), or the symbol V (meaning "END"), 
 whichever applies. 
 
 Maps, plates, charts, etc., may be filmed at 
 different reduction ratios. Those too large to be 
 entirely included in one exposure are filmed 
 beginning in the upper left hand corner, left to 
 right and top to bottom, as many frames as 
 required. The following diagrams illustrate the 
 method: 
 
 Les exemplaires originaux dont la couverture en 
 papier est imprimde sont film^s en commen^ant 
 par le premier plat et en terminant soit par la 
 dernidre page qui comporte une empreinte 
 d'impression ou d'illustration, soit par le second 
 plat, selon le cas. Tous les autres exemplaires 
 originaux sont filmds en commengant par la 
 premiere page qui comporte une empreinte 
 d'impression ou d'illustration et en terminant par 
 la dernidre page qui comporte une telle 
 empreinte. 
 
 Un des symboles suivants apparaitra sur la 
 dernidre image de cheque microfiche, selon le 
 cas: le symbole — «^ signifie "A SUIVRE", le 
 symbole V signifie "FIN". 
 
 Les cartes, planches, tableaux, etc., peuvent dtre 
 filmds d des taux de r6duction diffdrents. 
 Lorsque le document est trop grand pour dtre 
 reproduit en un seul clich6, il est filmd d partir 
 de Tangle supdrieur gauche, de gauche d droite, 
 et de haut en bas, en prenant le nombre 
 d'images ndcessaire. Les diagrammes suivants

 hearts throughout the Empire^ upon which it is truly 
 said the sun never sets^ will come congratulations* The 
 G>uncil of the Qty of Toronto recently decided to send 
 the congratulations of the Queen City to Her Majesty 
 in the form of an address^ to be enclosed in an appropri- 
 ate silver casket* Designs for this casket were called 
 for^ andt from the nine submitted^ that of Ryrie Bros* 
 was selected as being the most appropriate*

 Some of ths features of this casket are worthy of 
 special mention: The material throughout is strictly 
 Canadian and widely representative* The gold used in 
 the crown is from the LeRoi mine in British Columbia^ 
 being voluntarily donated by the owners for this ptsr- 
 pose. The silver is from the mines in the Slocan 
 district ; whilst the base upon which the casket rests is 
 chiselled from a single piece of ore out of the celebrated 
 War Eagle mine* Set around the casket are numbers 
 of Canadian semi-precious stones — in all twenty-two 
 varieties, gathered from six provinces^ which speak 
 volumes for the mineral resources of our great Domin- 
 ion. The only parts of the material used in the work 
 not wholly Canadian are six diamonds^ one for each 
 decade of Her Majesty^s reign^ which are set in the 
 crown* These it need hardly be said are used as 
 befitting the occasion of the Diamond Jubilee* 
 
 In the construction of the casket the makers have 
 expended much more than the amount appropriated^ 
 being determined to produce a work of art worthy to 
 hold a high place among the tributes of the nations*

 Dear Sirs, — We have pleasure in handing you a 
 brick of gold sent to us by our friends of the Le Roi 
 mine. I also enclose herewith a letter from Mr. W. W. 
 D. Turner, President of the Le Roi Gold Mining Co., 
 couched in most liberal and loyal terms, claiming a 
 RIGHT to contribute the gold necessary for the work 
 free of expense. 
 
 The piece of ore for the base of your Jubilee 
 Casket, which our Mr. Hastings of THE VAR 
 EAGLE CONSOLIDATED MINING AND DE- 
 VELOPMENT CO., Limited, has forwarded, is, Mr. 
 Hastings assures us, an especially fine specimen and 
 worthy of the purpose for which it is intended* 
 
 Yours very truly. 
 
 The Wsjt Eagle Consolidated Mining and 
 Development Co., Limited, 
 
 GEO. GOODERHAM, President.

 J 837, 
 
 T was five o'clock on the morning of 
 the 20th of June when the doors of 
 Kensington Palacet where the Prin- 
 cess Victoria dwelt with her t^other^ 
 were opened to the Archbishop of 
 Guiterbury, the Lord Cha:. j^iaJn, 
 and the physician of William IV*^ Sir Henry Half ord« 
 They had come direct from the dark chamber of death 
 at "Windsor to tell the yotstiuul Princess^ who had at- 
 tained the Age of eighteen on the 24th of May^ that she 
 was Queen of one of the greatest amongst the nations. 
 The intelligence had been momentarily expected* The 
 household was astir at that early hour of the sunny 
 morning; the three messengers were at once in the 
 presence of their Sovereign Lady* Lord Melbourne 
 had an audience at nine o'clock* At eleven the state 
 apartments of Kensington Palace were filled with 
 Members of the Privy Council of the late King — ^Peers^ 
 Cabinet Ministers^ the two Archbishops^ the Lord 
 Mayor of London^ Right Honourable Conmioners* 
 The Duke of Cumberland^ now King of Hanover^ and 
 the Duke of Sussex^ were conspicuous in that historical 
 group which Wilkie has painted* The doors of the 
 Council Chamber wf ^e opened^ and Queen Victoriai 
 entering with the Duchess of Kent — palet but perfectly 
 self-possessed -took her seat at the head of the Council

 table* The Lord Chancellor administered the oaths 
 prescribed for the sovereign's accession; the Privy 
 Councillors took the oaths of allegiance and supre- 
 macy: and then for the first time was heard by her 
 assembled subjects that exquisitely modulated voice 
 which for a quarter of a century has lent a charm to 
 the formal periods of a speech from the throne. 
 
 ^ The severe and afflicting loss which the nation 
 has sustained by the death of His Majesty^ my beloved 
 unde^ has devolved upon me the duty of administering 
 the government of this Empire* This awful responsi- 
 bility is imposed upon me so suddenly^ and at so early 
 a period of my life^ that I should feel myself utterly 
 oppressed by the burden, were I not sustained by the 
 hope that Divine Providence^ which has called me to 
 this work, will give me strength for the performance of 
 it, and that I shall find in the purity of my intentions, 
 and in my zeal for the public welfare, that support and 
 those resources which usually belong to a more mature 
 age, and to long experience*'^ 
 
 ^ The Queen's demeanour on that eventful morn- 
 ing impressed every one who was present, not only 
 ^xrith profound admiration, but with confident hope of 
 a glorious future* There was evidence of a high and 
 generous nature in her solemn expression of regret at 
 the domestic calamity which had just occurred; in her 
 manifestation of a deep and awful sense of the duties 
 she was called upon to fulfil* When the newspapers 
 described how, on the next day, Victoria, the Queen,

 appeared at a window oveflooking the cotiftyard of 
 St* James' Palace^ Mressed in black silk^ with a crape 
 scarf over her white tippet^ and a little black chip 
 bonnet/ — when they told how^ looking 'paler than 
 tisual^' she wept as she acknowledged the plaudits of 
 the people^ such plattdits 'as never could be surpassed ' 
 — there were few amongst her subjects who did not 
 put up a prayer for the happiness of this young 
 creature^ exposed so early to all the temptations of 
 luxury and all the bewilderments of power. But there 
 was little fear* There was confidence — as she had been 
 brought up in the unobtrusive simplicity of her mother's 
 life — a- her natural abilities had been diligently cultiva- 
 ted—as from her childhood she had learnt the great 
 lessons of self-denial — as she was well grouiided in 
 religious principle — that the perils of such greatness 
 would be escaped* Never were the feelings of the 
 nation more nobly expressed than by a voice from the 
 pulpit of the Metropolitan Cathedral: 
 
 ** What limits to the glory and happiness of our 
 native land^ if the Oeatoi* shouldt in his mercy^ have 
 placed in the heart of this Royal Woman the rudiments 
 of wisdom and mercy; and if^ giving them time to 
 expand^ and to bless our children's children with her 
 goodness^ He should grant to her a long sojourning 
 upon earthy and leave her to reign over us till she is 
 well stricken in years* What glory I What happiness I 
 What joy I What bounty of God I '^

 Mr. W. G. Gooderham, 
 
 Toronto, Ont» 
 
 Dear Sir, — ^At the request of Mr, John B. Hastings, 
 of the War Eagle Mine, I have this day sent to yots, 
 per express, a bar of gold from the Le Roi Mine, which 
 I understand is to be used in making some kind of a 
 testimonial to Queen Victoria, Mr, Hastings requested 
 us to send him a bill for the amount, which my 
 Company has instructed me not to do. The Le Roi 
 Mining and Smelting Co, ^ as much a subject of the 
 grand and good old lady as is the War Eagle, and 
 we know of no reason why tht War Eagle should 
 pay us for it. 
 
 Hoping our donation will be received in the same 
 good spirit in whic^> it is made, I am 
 
 Respectfully yours,

 THE OUTER CABINET. 
 
 HE Cabinet which is to contain the 
 Jubilee Casket was designed and 
 manufactured by the Hemming 
 Manufacturing Co* of Toronto. A 
 number of beautiful Canadian woods 
 are employed on the Gothic exterior. 
 The Hd^ arches^ panels and plynth are all made of 
 highly polished bird's-eye maple ; oak columns resting 
 on walnut bases support the arches^ within which are 
 exquisitely selected specimens of curly ash. .^ The 
 carved mouldings^ maple leaf spandrils^ capitals^ etc*^ 
 are all red cedar^ contrasting well with the bird's-eye 
 maple. J* The interior is faultlessly lined with rich 
 purple silk velvety all the borders being bird's-eye maple. 
 The most striking feature of the Cabinet is the 
 method of its construction. To permit a full view of 
 the Casket^ all four sides are hinged at the base and 
 mitred at the comers so as to fait outwards. The 
 top is cut across the middle and hinged at the ends* 
 The lock is of special construction^ and inserted in the 
 centre of the lid. 
 
 While serving to enclose the casket^ this cabinet 
 will exhibit some of our most important woods^ and 
 satisfy the most critical that in designing and work- 
 manship Canada compares favorably with any country 
 in the world.
