Lcney formerly of Timmins, but more cently on The Star staff at Sudbury â€"efers as follows to the question of the possibility of diamonds in Ontario, as recognized by the Geologlca‘ Survey of Canada:â€" Reference to diamonds in Ontario, mentioned in despatches from Ottawa qusting a prospectors‘ handbook recentâ€" ly issued by the Geological Survey of Canada, has aroused considerable inâ€" terest and some comment in prospectâ€" ing and mining circles. The idea is not new, but the fact tht. the Geological Survey has recognized the possibility of diamonds in Ontario, is support for the theory, long held byf »sponsible mining men who are qualified ; to know, that sooner or later the preâ€". cious stones will be added to the known. sources of wealth in the preâ€"Cambrian shield. K "Ssome years ago considerable exciteâ€" ment was aroused by the discovery of some sixty or seventy diamonds in glaâ€" cial drift in the State of Wisconsin. This led to a search for the mother lode and intermittent expeditions set out to explore Northern Canada, peneâ€" trating in some cases as far north as Ungava, and even to the Coast of Labrador. As an instance of the fact, that the discovery of diamonds is in almost everyone‘s mind in the North pountry, two years ago when public ethusiasm over the development of the ‘Frood Mine was at its height, desâ€" patches emanting from New York were received in Sudbury to the effect that diamonds were found in some of the ore at the deeper levels of the Interâ€" national Nickel Company‘s property. On the rumour itself the stock moved forward another three or four points. "Less than five years ago a small expedition set out from Timmins unâ€" der direction of Hollinger Consolidated engineers to investigate the report of diamonds at Nellie Lake, a few miles north of Porquis Junction on the Temâ€" iskaming and Northern Ontario Railâ€" way. "When referring to diamonds it is also interesting to note that another source of wealth which engineers in the North have been concentrating considerable effort to find is the metal chromium. In view of the increasing demand and the resultant high prices, a good deposit of chromium would be more precious at the present time than a gold mine. "Peculiarly the hunt for diamonds and chromium has a good deal in comâ€" mon in that both are usually found in very basic rocks, such as are known to cccur in certain parts of, Northern Oontario. The known occurrences of chrome ore have been found in a rock called peridotite and this is the same rock in which the diamond deposits of South Africa have been found and deâ€" veloped. In calling attention to the fact that the glacial drift in which diamonds of gem size were found in Wisconsin some years ago, Dr. W. L. Goodwin, in his handbook on the geoâ€" logy and minerals of Ontario, advises prospectors to watch for signs of diaâ€" monds when panning." ile;gth of the coach. The wandering |\ library is reported to have been well BRITISH COLUMBIA NOW HAS LIBRARIES ON WHEELS In the Porcupine district some years ago British Columbia came in for much favourable consiqeration on account of the fact that the province had carried on successfully a system of corresâ€" pondence courses for children who could not attend the schools. This: was looked upon here as the best sort. of modern methods, and the province of Ontario soon followed suit to proâ€" vide education for the children of settâ€" lers and others in sparselyâ€"settled areas. Now, British Columbia comes in for attention on account of another modern along educational lines. British Columbia offéers a tip to library extension workers elsewhere in Cangda. Because the provincial govâ€" ernment of British Columbit believes in helping the rural dweller, it instiâ€" tuted a travelling library service for the benefit of those people. A General Motors truck, with special body conâ€" taining shelves for nearly a thousand books, has been operated on reguar schedule through the Fraser Valley, enabling people in the farming sections to take out books as often as twice a month.

TRANSFER OF LAND ONCE OwWNED BY COL, J. McCRAE At Cochranse on Armistice Day, Nov. 11th, the transfer was registered of the eighty acres of land in the Township of Mabee, District ecf Cochrane, which had been patented by the late Colonel John McCrage, CAM.C, the author of "In Flanders Pields."‘ The land, which was patented by John McCrae, as a Ssouth African War veteran, on March 26, 1913, was recently sold by the execuâ€" tors of the estate to the Mohawk Timâ€" ber and Land Compiny of Toronto. HAVE TO DEER FROM RAILWAY NEAR MILVERTON Apparently Perth County in Ontario must be free from wolves or it would be necessary to chase deer from railway tracks. There was a time in the North Land when the T. N. O. nad to stop once in a while to give rightâ€"ofâ€"way to an odd deer or moose that hapm:ned to get on the railway track. The popular Lew Shaw, for many years engineer on the Porcupine branch of the T. N. OS could tell a number of such cases, But those days are gone. The wolves do all the chasing of the desr these days. In Perth County, however, there has been recurrance of the old order. A train recently had to be stopped to avoid hitting a dser that disputed the right of way or that was too confused to yield place to the iron horse. The lstory is told by The Milverton Sun in a recent issue as follows:â€" Totals Totals Totals "The CP.R. eastbound train cn Wedâ€" nesday morning last was brought to full stop between McGaw and Auburn, the crew alighting to shoo a deer off the track. With the train approaching it had appeared quite unconcerned over possible impending disaster. The same it is thought, was seen by the secâ€" tion men the same day in a field alongâ€" side the rightâ€"ofâ€"way. It is a fuliâ€" grown buck and the largest ever seen in the Auburn section. Thoroughly aroused, it took to the woods and the section men, to settle an argument as to how far a deer can jump, measured his hoof marks when he was under full steam. The longest hop was twenty feet. It is believed this and other deer came from the Saratoga swamp." Totals Gains Seventeen Pounds Hamilton Spectator:â€"Earl Carroll, of bathtub party notoriety, occupied the pulpit of a Boston church recently, when his theme was Bare Legs in the Theatre. We may presume not one snore was heard throughout the disâ€" course. â€"566 644 TEAM 103,. /.. 1BB ...3 134...... 138...... 150.« T32 TEAM 989 sz 124...... 12%,.....; TT ... 167 178 170 142 756 .... 208 ..... 157 4# 149 o 1O T 731 188 163 178 116 127 199 153 114 140 705 201 192 160 107 102 72 762 107 151 100 127 118 420 270 314 214 154 375 351 315 312 249 274 298 217 201 238 257 368 370 330 249 201 178 293 312 310 112 PA M ( 230 fiporatibri of Canada in the formation 'Iof a large company to be known at Canadian Airways, Limited. RAILWAYS AMD AIRWAYS PLANNING GREAT MERGER New Transportation System to Comâ€" bine Rail and Air Machines. Exâ€" pected to Put Canada in the Lead in Modern Transâ€" portation. From Montreal comes the news that Canadas two railways and predominatâ€" ing airway companies have united to form one of the most comprehensive transportation systems ever evolved, and the dominion is now on the verge of a development that promises to rival in importance the construction and coimpletion of her first transcontinental railway. Endorsation of this formidâ€" able scheme has been given by the government, which set its seal to an orderâ€"inâ€"council enabling the Canadian National to participate with the Canaâ€" dian Pacific Railway, Western Canada Airways, Limited and the Aviation Corâ€" Each railway wil; subscribe $250,000 of the capital involve«, which amounts to a total of 200,000 shares of no par value. Their contribution at the preâ€" sent time is very small, but it is exâ€" pected they will take advantage of the offer extended to increase their financial holdings after the company is in full operation. Half a million dol~â€" lars will thus be supplied jointly by the two railway companies. James A. Richardson, who is presiâ€" dent of the new corporation, has proâ€" ceeded with his organization and the establishment of head offices in Monâ€" treal. Both Liberal and Conservative cabinets gave the scheme their blessâ€" ing, but the pressure of an election campaign and subsequent government business delayed due consideration and the final endorsation until the end of last week. Sir Henry W. Thornton, chairman of the Canadian National Railways, and Edward W. Beatty, chairman of the Canadian Pacific Railâ€" way, have consented to become joint viceâ€"presidents. There will be 13 directors of Canaâ€" dian Airways, completing a board of 16, representative of leading financial and commercial interests in Canada. Their names will be announced by Mr. Richâ€" ardson in the course of a few days. Mr. Richardson, who is president of James Richardson and Sons, leading grain merchants and exporters, direcâ€" tor of the Canadian Pacific Railway, the Canadian Bank of Commerce, the International Nickel Company, the Greatâ€"West Life Assurance Company. a member of the Canadian Committee of the Hudson‘s Bay Company, and a director of many other companies in this coufftry and the United States, is sole proprietor of Western Canada Airâ€" ways, and owns substantial interest in the Aviation Corporation of Canada. Thus, he will be the largest shareholder in this new corporation. The name Canadian Airways wWaSs selected as the title for the new comâ€" pany by reason of its national characâ€" ter. Until now it was one of several organizations composing the Aviation Corporation of Canada, the other being Interprovincial Airways, Limited; Inâ€" ternational Airways Limited Canadian Transcontinental _ Airways, Limited Maritime Airways, Limited, and Canaâ€" dian Aerial Surveys, Limited. It will be operated in two sections, known at Eastern Canada Lines and Western Canada Lines, somewhat simiâ€" lar in effect to the system evolved by by both railway companies with their eastern and western divisions. The Eastern lines will comprise all those now owned and controlled by the Aviation Corporation of Canada, while the wesâ€" tern lines will comprise all those forâ€" merly known as Western Canada Airâ€" ways, whose name and enviable repuâ€" tation will thus be retained. During 1929, the airway companies in this new combine carried 794 per cent. of the mail flown throughout the dominion, North Bay Nugget:â€"The Sudbury reds seem to be suffering from a deâ€" layed fuse, or possibly the red is runâ€" ning pink. and 49 1 per cent of the total freight transported by air.
