Bridgewater,, Ont., Is Without an In habitant to Admire Its Splendor. From tho Chicago Chronicle. In the county of North Hastings, Ont., is a deserted town called Bridge water, which Is built entirely of mar ble. About twenty-five years ago a farmer's wifo was searching in the woods for a pig that had strayed away. In a particularly dense part of the for est she found a cool spring of crystal water, and stooped to drink from it. As she did so, she slipped on a round stone and fell into tho water. At tracted by the peculiar color ot the stone, she fished It out and took it home. Investigation showed tl to be a twenty-pound nugget of almost pure gold. Within six months the wilderness had blossomed into tho thriving town of Bridgewater, with live thousand Inhab itants. Thero were old forty-niners from tha Pacific slope, amateurs from Great Britain and the United States, prospectors from every field. Shafts and tunnels were driven by the hun dreds. In tho sinking ot n shaft a mile south of tho town, on a claim of B. Flint, of Belleville, who is now a member of the Canadian senate, a vein of white marble was discovered. At the suggestion of Flint, who wanted little or nothing for tho material, tho town of Bridgewater was built of solid marble. It hac even to this day a court house, school, church, hotel, stores and private dwellings construct ed wholly of this material. While the town was booming the entire country round wns prospected. Some of the shafts and tunnels woiu driven more than a hundred feet In depth, but, remarkable as It may seem, thero was never enough gold found to pay the cost of a single mine In the district. Tho place where the original nuggst was found was christened "Aladdin's cave," and tho land In Its vicinity sold at fabulous prices. Ono farmer whose farm udiolncd the cave sold flvo acres to an English syndicate for $100,000 cash. The uyndlcate spent another $100,000 In developing the claim, but never obtained an ounce of free gold. An aged Irishman at Brldgewaur, Patrick Kcogh, received an offer of $125,000 for his farm, which consisted of a hundred acres of rock-piled, bar ren land. Ho refused tho offer, hold ing out for $150,000, which ho never got. Today uny one could buy tho property for $1 an acre. Within a couplo of years it became apparent to all that mining In Bridge water would never pay, and tho pros, pectors nnd citizens departed, leaving tha marble town to settle down to a futureless desolation.
