Mr. J. J. St. Paut, of South Porâ€" cupine, an oldâ€"timer of the Nort‘h Land, and wellâ€"known in Poreupine mining circles, is one of the promotâ€" ers of the United Explorers‘ Corporâ€" ation. The company is capitalized for one million dollars, which is a low eapitalization in view of the faet that any one of the five groups of elaims The objectives of the Unite« plorers‘ Corporation as set for a preliminary statement of prospectus, are summarized â€" a: lows :â€" To keep prospectors and scouts conâ€" stantly in all camps and new fields.

Mining men know well that a certain amount of prospecting and developâ€" ment is necessary on even the most promising property before a mining company has much to interest it. Lack of sufficient exploration and deâ€" velopment has prevented many a property fTrom receiving the backing of inming interests that are not in the husivess of prosnpecting and doing preliminary work. Mining men who woere interested in The Pas district, for instance, agree that the Murray claims and _ other _ properties were given a setS‘sack because they were turned over to mining companies heâ€" fore they had received sufficient prosâ€" pecting work to indicate their value. In other words, mining â€" companies should not be expected to complete prospecting. Prelimmary work should be completed before calling in the mining company. So long as hunâ€" dreds of properties are attempting to get by on small eapital, however, the exploration work is likely to be shirkâ€" ed more or This will hold back the development of the country. To cover the important and necessary requirements suggested, the United Explorers‘ Corporation â€" of _ ‘Canada was formed. Under this plan sceatâ€" tered capital is to be united into one big eorporation, and economy in deâ€" velopment should be attained. Unâ€" like most companies of this kind tha United Explorers‘ Corporation starts out with an exceptionally large acreâ€" age of very valuable mimeral lands. The corporation owns 7 claims in the Night Hawk Lake district, 13 claims in MceArthur Township, 30 claims in McNeil, 16 claims in Matatchewan (one claim of 60 acres being a Townâ€" site), 10 claims in North (Matachewan, 7 claims in Kirkland Lake,â€"a total of 83 claims, approximately 3,320 acres. In addition options are held on 7 claims in Matatchewan and 5 South Lorrain claims. The South Lorrain claims are silver properties; all the others are gold claims. The Comâ€" pany is thus starting with the reâ€" markable holding of 95 claims, apâ€" proximately 3,800 acres, owned and optioned. The properties are all highâ€" class prospects, aequired by experâ€" ienced prospectors during many years of careful and energetic work. These properties, without exception, have been purchased for stock in the comâ€" pany only. Not a dollar in eash has been or will be paid by the company for the properties. The prospectors concerned are to be employed to do further prospecting, exploring and scouting, and the company requires all these employees to show their faith in their propertiee by taking part of their salaries in stock. Brâ€" fore the principals in the company can recerve any cash returns success must be achieved. orth thear Tolâ€" owned is estimated to be worth around threeâ€"times the total capitalâ€" ization. e ererenen â€" *The ied.*" *Good, now she‘ll find someone who n‘t afraid to tell her how punk her reallyv is." In all, from Sept. 1 to Dec. 12, 1923, there were marketed in districts served by the Canadian Pacific Railway more than 200,000,000 bushels of all grains the largest quantity ever reported since the inception of the road. Taking the cars loaded as more truly representative of the activities of the company in the matter of grain movement, these have been reported at 116,232 for the period, representing bushels. Suppose for a momeiit that all that grain were to be dumped into a river bed 100 feet wide and five ieet deep, and that the Now during the season, there were 88 days on which cars could be loaded, for Sundays are excluded. During those 88 days there were trains operated on am average every 50 minutes day and night, trains carrying nothing but grain mind you, for passenger traffic and other freight business were conducted at the same time, and on uninterrupted schedules too, be it noted. These trains were on an average 45 cars long. So much for computation trains. In point of fact however, the longest train which was made up during the season consisted of 125 cars and was approximately 1 mile in length. ‘li was operated from Stoughton to Arcola, Saskatchevan, on October 5th. The weight of the train not including the engine totalled 7,946 tons, of this 5,556 tons being freight. The train handled 185,000 bushels of wheat. licketyâ€"click, celicketyâ€"click. ..

Imagine, if you can, a train 881 miles long, or as far as from Winnipeg to the upper reaches of the Rocky Mountains. That is how many freight cars there would be. But cars alone cannot make a train. There are the engines, as well, and the road has kept in the neighborhood of 670 freight engines tugging grain trains east and west day and night throughout the season and in addition to these there are 171 switch engines employed at terminals. The season, be it understood, is taken as the period from the opening of the Canadian crop year, Sept. 1 to the official close of navigation with regard to shipping insurance on the Great Lakes, which falls Dec. 12.

A particularly interesting {feature of the grain move» ment of the present season according to company officials is the increase which had been reported in the amount of grain sent by Canadian Pacific to Vancouver for export. In all there were 5,582 cars received . representing 8,087,784 bushels, or a very large pereentage . of the total exports from Vancouver Whli w‘e‘ 8,910,866 bushels ¢to the United Kingdom, an 00 . mostly to South America. Last season for the correspondâ€" ing period there were 3,548 cars received at Vancouverrâ€" and 4,897,019 busnels exported if the loaves were laid side by side and end to end, they would form a solid belt across the Dominion wider than the height of a city lamp post. Again if they were piled in a transâ€"Canada wall one loaf dgeep, the height arthc wall would be 12 feet. A second trip into the land of imagination and one might put mountains in the background, and might make those mountains up of all the grains kernels which bhad been taken from the freight cars engaged in their transportation. If the grain were heaped up on acre lots of ground, there might well be three mountains, and each one of them would tower 5,000 feet into the heavens. The Canadian Pacific railway station at Lake Louise, one of the highest in the Rocky Mountains, is 5,044 feet above sea level. In the three mountains would be included. oats, rye, barley, flax â€" all the coarse grains commonly grown in the Dominion as well as wheat, but if the latter were to be sorted out and put into mountains by itself, supposing there were still to be three mountains, then each of these would rise 4,200 feet from the ground. Banff itself is only 4,500 feet above the sea. But after all, wheat is of little use in imaginary nvers or even mountains, however high or picturesque they may be. Let us consider what would happen if all the wheat were made into flour (leaving coarse grains aside) and kneaded up and baked into bread. If this were done there would be approximately 104,700 miles of regulation size, 16 ounce loaves, if they were placed end to end. This tremendous string of loaves would stretch back and forth across Canada, from Montreal to Vancouver 36 times. new ‘river‘ were able to fow at an average rate for water say a mile an hour, then he who stood on the bank and had the patience to watch, might pitch his tent and picnic for three and one half days before this stream would be dried up.
