Ask for Quotations The geology at Harker is similar to that of the Kirkland Lake camp, the elevation of the land is higher, the company has a long portion of the break and ample funds to carry out the proposed development work. President J. E. Hammell expects to visit the proâ€" perty in the near future. New York Evening Post:â€"Stocks are going up! Stecks are going down! Now, don‘t say we didn‘t tell you! The No. 1 shaft at the Harker is to be deepened to 1,000 feet and most of the equipment for this work has been ordered. A revival of interest has been apparent in Harker recently and acâ€" cording to the management sufficient encouragment has been encountered to lead them to believe that the property is "just on the edge of being a mine." The result of the recent examination by E. W. Todd, consulting geologist, has been the decision to deepen the No. 1 shaft to 1,000 feet and the management is quite hopeful of the future. Rich ore has been encountered a= the 250â€"foot level, at the Harker Gold Mines, Ltd., in the Lightning River district, according to a statement by an official of the company to The Sudâ€" bury Star last week. Considerable faulting was encountered on the 250â€" foot level, but the west face of the drift has broken into the dykes proper and free gold is said to be in evidence.

Very Much Alive Toâ€"day book, too, if it has the right things printed in it. Sudbury Star:â€"A book is soon to be printed on paper made entirely from cornstalks. And it will be a vesy good It will be very interesting to know just where thoase 402 new farms are located. This will likely be. explained when the report referred to in the desâ€" patch is completed and published. Of course, in view of the large number of homesteads available in the North Land, 402 is not so large a number, but it is a lot larger than most people would have estimated. It seems about certain that the whole 402 can scarcely be in this section of the North. However, a despatch from Toronto last week suggests that the situatior may be much better than some have believed it to be. Certainly if 402 new farms have been taken up in this North Land the position is a lot better than people have considered it to be. The despatch in question says:â€"*"Ontario is still making grants of free land tco agriculitural settlers and by degrees the available land in New Ontario‘s Clay Belt is being taken up. According to figures now being prepared for the anâ€" nual report to the Ministers of Land branch, there were 402 homesteads 2}â€" lotted during the last fiscal year to free land settlers, These represent entireâ€" ly new farms under cultivation." There has been a gengeral opinion throughout the North Land that during the past few years settlement of land in this country has not been progressâ€" ing as it should. It is a fact that in the immediate district around Timmins there have been comparatively few new farms taken up and some of the settlers on the land have given up the struggle. The net result has not beem any too encouraging. Somewhat slmi-? lar reports come from other parts of, the North. The reason; chiefly blamâ€" ed for settlers leaving farms in the North is the lack of roads and the genâ€" ‘eral hardships of the life under the. present conditions. One reasom given for the fact that new; settlers are not rushing in to take a farm has beem the fact that the land grants for settlers have been reduced from 160) to 80 acres. It is generally felt by: those who ought to know that 80 acres is not emough land for a successful‘ farm: im this counâ€" try. The reduced size of farms is parâ€" ticularly objectionable to those with families who look forward to the time when it will be necessary to start the sons on a career, and with 80â€"a0re farms the settlers do not see much chance to have convenient land nearby for the boys if the want to conâ€" tinue on the farm. "If the total remaining stand of white and red pine amounted in 1924 to eight billion feet, board measure, the concluâ€" sion, as the pulpwood commission said, "is perfectly obvious; for only a few years may we expect the supplies of mature pine to last, at the present rate of consumption." And if. supplies of pine are exhausted, the rate of conâ€" sumption of other kinds of timber, such as spruce and hemlock, will be accelâ€" erated. That being the case, the Onâ€" tario government shows wisdom in adâ€" vocating a policy of forest convervaâ€" tion and in endeavouring by its annual plantings of white and red pine on suitable tracts of land to ensure a supply of those valuable: timberâ€"proâ€" ducing trees for the future." FOUR HUNDRED AND â€"TWO FARMS SETTLED IN ONTARIO "The originat stand orf white and red pine in Ontario is estimated, in the report that the Royal Commission on Pulpwood presented to the Dominion ‘government in 1924, to have containâ€" ied some 45 billion feet of timber. Since the beginning of the lumbering industry in the province, the operations tions of the industry have been dirâ€" eceted largely to the exploitation of the: pine forests which occupied the more regions of this secâ€" tion of the Dominion‘ and produced. the highest grades of timber. As result of land settlement, the encroachment of hardwoods on cutâ€"over pine lands, and: mainly, on account of fires on logged over areas, the reproduction of pine, the pulpwood commission said, had. been prevented : on approximately oneâ€"half of the original pineâ€"bearing area. The commission: estimated that theâ€"stand of coniferous sawâ€"timber in Ontario in 1924 totalled 15,112 million Ifeet, board measure. Of that total the stand of spruce, jackpine, hemlock and 'balsam accounted for 6,950 million feet, and the balance, 8,162 million feet, conâ€" sisted mainly of white and red pine. The review that the pulpwood comâ€" mission made of lumber production in theâ€"ten years 1913 to 1922 showed the extent to which pine has figured in the output of the lumbering industry inlj late years. The average yearly proâ€" duction in the decade was approxiâ€" mately 974 million feet, board measure. For the entire period. white pine furâ€" nished 53.2 per cent. of the lumber supâ€", plies, hemlock 11.3 per cent., spruce 9.1 per cent., and red pine about 9 per cent. These four conifers, thus furâ€" nished 32.6 per cent. of all the lumber| and white and red pine together repreâ€"| sented 62.1 per cent. The average proâ€"| duction of white and red pine timber, was more than 600 million feet a year.: I In an editorial article last yveek in reference to efforts for the preservaâ€" tion of Ontario‘s forest wealth, The Sudbury Star last week says:â€" BILLIE Waltz "Where Was Youâ€"â€"Where Was 1?"

The new Willysâ€"Overland merchanâ€" dise if the reports and rumours are anywhere near correct will this year be outstanding favourites. The designâ€" er of the new Whippet cars is Amos Northup,. who is internationally regardâ€" ed in automobile circles as one of the outstanding car designers of the age. Mr. Northup it is stated, has been with Willysâ€"Overland since last January, since which time he has been perfectâ€" ing the designs for the new cars that are to be presented for public approval on January 5th. Mechanically the new Whippet, it is learned, will offer even more than in the past.â€"The Six is equipped with a sevenâ€"bearing crankshaft, silent timing chain and other costly car features. While the Four also offers the Silent Timing Chain, Full Forceâ€"Feed lubriâ€" cation and other outstanding mechaniâ€" cal features. The performance ability of these cars too has been materially improved. To date it has not been possible to learn the details of the feature known as "Fingerâ€"Tip Control" which is standard equipment on both Whippet Four and Six models. Company engiâ€" neers and other officials state it is the greatest engineering device invented since the selfâ€"starter. Just what imâ€" portant part it plays no one will as yet say. It is known however, that it is going to prove a big feature and one that will be very popular with the motorist. Officials of the Willysâ€"Overiand Comâ€" pany claim the new cars offer the greatest dollar for dollar value obtainâ€" able either in this country or abroad. The New Whippet Models, it is known, are exceptionally attractive and although prices have not yvet been anâ€" nouced it is said that they will be such as to make the new merchandise a real inducement. Every inaication points to 1929 beâ€" coming the most successful year in Willysâ€"Overland‘s history.
