ta ELEVEN AND A HALF MILLIONS®S ON THE WAITEâ€"MONTGOMERY A despatch last‘ week from the Mail Empire correspondent at Rouyn, Que., says that according to official inf aation, the ore so far inâ€" on t Waiteâ€"Montgomery is estimated to tain approximately $11,500,000. C nuing the corresâ€" pondent says :â€"â€" "This amount of ore has been indiâ€" cated as a result of an extremely limited amount of work. Operations to date have consisted only of surface trenching, together with diamond drilling. The ore in the deposit on Waiteâ€"Montgomery is so rich that those in comtrol have decided to await With the customs investigation still far from finished, the King Government V V 4AAA 4A e# already stand dopesters and thieves, National Treasury, strangling legitimate business, and low, thwarting the administration of justice, and To cite but a few instancesâ€"â€"already provenâ€"â€" from its appalling record of malfeasance: s convicted i:)}l;avmg coâ€"operated with smugglers, bootleggers, and of having thus been a party to defrauding the debauching officials, high bribing the electorate‘ Prisonâ€"made goods are on the prohibited list, yet tons and tons of such goods, produced in prisons where contagious diseases were prevalent among the inmates, were smuggled into Canrada for sale to innocent Canadian consumers, with the direct knowledge and coâ€"operation of Government officials. Police officersâ€"members of the incorruptible Royal Canadian Mountedâ€"were withdrawn from the Quebec boundaty lize at the request of the smuggling ring. Honest traders had asked for increased police protection, but the King Government preferred to grant the request of those who were defrauding the public revenue. Guilty knowledge even in 1923 of the frauds that were being prattised has been proven against the King Government beyond the shadow of a doubt. Time and again, in 1924 and 1925, the Commercial Protective Associationâ€"an organization of business menâ€"placed before Mr. King irrefutable evidences of it, that they had succeeded in tracing down at their own expense. With his Government hopelessly entangled with Canada‘s criminal element, Mr. King did notâ€"dared notâ€" take any action to remedy the appalling conditions. Stchen axitornobiles, smuggled into Canada with the connivance of Customs officials, were sold for a pittance to friends of the King Government, and those found guilty were allowed not only to go unpunished, but to continue their nefarious trade. Smuggled liquor selling was engaged in on a large scale by Customs offi:ials whose duty it was to protect the Treasury. Corrupt ofifcials were unpunished and promoted; honest officials we:‘« punished and demoted. Despite the fact that with Mr. Kennedy supporting them, the Liberals had a majority on the Investigation Committee, that the Chairman Mr. Mercier was a Liberal, and that the Prosecuting Counsel Mr. Calder was a Liberal candidate in the last election, and despite the further fact that the committee sat almost daily for five months, thus affording Liberal members ample opportunity to uncover malfeasance on the part of previous ministries, not one word of proof, not one breath of suspicion, was brought against the administration of the Customs Department under the Laurier, Borden and Meighen Governâ€" ments, but only against its administration under Mr. William Lyon MacKenzie King‘! completion of the Noranda smelter before attempting to catry on underâ€" ground development. The reason for this is that the ore on Waiteâ€"Montâ€" gomery is so rich in copper (chalcoâ€" pyrite) that if deposited in stock piles on surface for any length of time it would become ignited. _ The deposit is close to 100 feet in width and about 200 feet in length as so far determined. It will be possible to mine the ore at extremely low cost. Not only this, but the ore can be loaded into cars and delivered quickâ€" ly to the smelter with extremely small transportation charge for the four mile haul over the new railway. From the very moment that mining comâ€" mences on Waiteâ€"Montgomery, the en Has anything more disgraceful ever besmirched the pages of Canadian history ? Can a proud and honourable nation, whose people fear God and eschew evil, afford to condone such dishonesty, such corruption, on the part of its leaders and public servants ? for ) R.ONHILL ® And avoid another Election / terprise will be placed on a profitable basis of production. During the course of diamond drilling, one hole penetrated close to 100 feet of highâ€" grade zince ore. Formerly, the drilâ€" ling has disclosed continuation of the copper ore to depth, and it is now a question of whether the copper deâ€" posit changes to zince at depth, or whether the huge deposit of zinc is separate and distinect from the main copper body."‘ MR.

A $54,800 loss was sustained in one case alone when Mr. Cardin, Acting Minister of Customs and Excise, settled for $3,200 with a dishonest importer, who, according to Mr. Cardin‘s own officials, had cheated the Treasury out of duties amounting to $58,000.
