WRITES SPECAL "WAR FOR "0, GANADA Noted Quebec Poet Suggests Verse Add to National Song During the W ar. Dr. J. M. Harper, the gifted poet, author and historian of Old Quebee, earlier in the war wrote the words :â€" Sing we our Empire‘s might, Armed to uphold the right, Under God‘s grace. May all the nations feel These words were used in many places throughout Canada as a suppleâ€" mentary â€" verse to **God Save the King,"‘ and the thought contained in the verse no doubt had a wholesome effect in impressing the true concepâ€" tion of Empire in its better sense. More recently Dr. Harper has writâ€" ten a verse that may be added to the various versions of O, Canada,‘‘ while the war lasts. In Dr. Harper‘s home province and in many other seeâ€" tions of Canada, ‘*O, Canada,, apâ€" proximates more to the standing of a| popular National Song than any other air. Because of this fact, the poet who would add to ‘*O, Canada,‘‘ the special touch of patriotism that gave it the vital connection with the winâ€" ning of the war would be doing a noteworthy service to the land. It was another sage philosopher who said {hat he cared not who made the dJaws if he could only. make the songs of his country. He knew the quiet but powerful growth in sentiment and acâ€" tion that comes indirectly from the songs a people sing. Speaking of the ‘‘War Verse"‘ for "©O, Canada,"‘ Dr. Harper writes:â€" *A charge of plagiarism has lately been pre?erred by one of the many versifiers, against another of the same, who have ventured to frame a setting of words to Calixa Lavaleé‘s inspirâ€" ing national air, which the world is now so familiar with. The first to give a national permanence to the said bit of classical musie was Sir Adolphe Routhier, who wrote a set of words for it in French. And it is little short of an anomaly that there have been so many differing sets of words tied on to the striking elocution of the composition, in which it may be said there is no borrowed musical interval discernible. . As one of the first to issue a set of words to the tune in English, I may perhaps be allowed to say that, if the charge of plagiarism referred to above were only to eventâ€" uate in the nsing â€"of one set of English words to Lavalee‘s tune, as has been the case in the one set of French vords used it would be somewhat of a convenienee to our Canadian patriâ€" otism when it seeks an utterance in choral form. â€" In the meantime, I venâ€" ture to suggest that the following verâ€" se may be added to each and all the properly metred versions extant of what has come to be one of the most popular exponents of our. blending Canadian patriotism. ‘‘There can hardly be any legitiâ€" mate umbrage taken at the suggestâ€" fon, during these warâ€"times at least, unless it be over the ineflicacy of the versification itself to parallel with such a soulâ€"inspiring piece of musical composition as is Lavalee‘s ‘* 0, Canaâ€" | «da. The supplementary verse is as follow :â€" O, Canada, thy sons and daughters, we Would join, as one, to rescue liberty, From the tyrant‘s sway that dares betray Thy service blessed of Godâ€" Thy service blessed of Godâ€" From the rampant Might that faim would blight The gifts of nationhood! ) realm benign, be it ours and thine To bless our brave ones of "the hm leâ€" field, nder lGod‘s grace. 4 May all the nations feel Tis for the common weal Britain ever makes appeal In war or peace. selfâ€"sacrifice displayed on the battleâ€" fields of France by my heroic troops will find its counterpart in the efforts of those who at home in the Dominion, are devoting themselves to this work.

TORONTO PROSPECTOR â€" WATES Of ROLLINGEAR Very Rich Ore Body in Entirely New Ground to be Opened up This Year The recent advances in Hollinger stock have prompted many outsiders to suggest reasons, but those in the Those in Camp know the proven riches of the Big Mine,â€"know them so well, indeed, that the recurring stories of big new strikes on the propâ€" erty are always believed without any thought of question, but fail to create a sensation because they are known to be a matter of common occeurrence at the Hollinger.

It may be inâ€" teresting, however, to view the matter from the outside standpoint oceasionâ€" ally. 8. R. Clarke, the wellâ€"known Toronto â€" journalistâ€" and prospector, Toronto â€" journalist _ and prospector, who has spent practically all his days around mines, recently gave luis imâ€" pressions and opinions of the Hollinâ€" ger as follows:â€"‘*There is an excellâ€" ent reason for the recent advance in the value of the shares of the Hollinâ€" ger Consolidated. This has been heretofore a surprising property. â€" In 1909 who could have forseenâ€"the fact that in the northern wilderness there would be in a few years the greatest gold mine in the world? But the reâ€" pertoire of surprises in connection with this wonderful property is not as yet by any means exhausted. In fact, during the present year there will be fully opened up one of the greatest ore bodies ever found on this great property, and it is in ground entirely new and heretofore unknownâ€"ground also which on the surface gives no inâ€" dication of the remarkable values hbeâ€" neath.. At a depth of 300 feet an ore deposit has been met with which carâ€" ries $10.50 in gold over the enormous width of 65 feet. At 800 feet in depth the same wealth and values obtain. This is indeed a world‘s receord, when considered in connection with the ore todies found in other parts of the property and the ‘unusual production of gold to date. "The directors of the Hollinger Conâ€" solidated are in fact almost sated with richness. _ Veins twelve to. fourteen feet wide, carrying normal values, fail to arouse any particular interest. They have gold to burn, and they have hereâ€" tofore been burning more than is acâ€" tually necessary. Nature has here been a prodigal, and the management may perhaps feel that economy and the hizhest efficieney in mining and milling are not now to be looked for. The mine will stand the strain of laâ€" bor shortage and of overhead charges which would paralyse any ordinary property. But after the war, when normal conditions again prevail, it is now reasonably certain that the mine will be by far the greatest profit makâ€" er in the world.
