In fact the mineral position of the British Empire sroves to be infinitely better than that »f any other nation, Actually, the Emâ€" only weakness lies in antimony, nerecury, potash, sulphur and talec, minâ€" 2rals which perhaps are in most cases more important for purposs of war than ~£ peace, ; "Of the tctal annual value of mineral production of the Empire about 95 per sent. comes from six of its consvituent parts, namely, United Kingdom, 47 per sent.; South Africa, 17 per cent.; Canâ€" ad2, 15 per cent.; Australia, six p°r cent.; India six per cent., and Federatâ€" ed Malay States, four per cent. The remaining five per cent. comes from other colonies and protectorates. Canâ€" ada, therefore, stands third in her conâ€" tribution to the total mineral producâ€" tion of the. whole Empire. Our most serious deficiencies are in coal, iron ore and petroleum. These present a blem for which Dr. Camsell sees no imâ€" mediate solution. But we can improve our position in others so as to make avaialble greater surpluses for export. "Canada‘s mineral industry has grown extraordinarily since the war. It is certain that no portion of the Britâ€" ish Empire has contributed more than this country to increase the strength of the Empire‘s mineral pusition. In the main our surplus has gone to the Unitâ€" ed States, but with the growing height of the tariff walls of that country we have been forced to seek an outlet for our mineral products in many other countries. We have a capacity to supâ€" ply a greater variety of mineral than any other part of the Empire. Dr. Camsell says there is no doubt that if the need arises that capacity could be increased in many directions. The idea approved at the Imperial Conference was to encourage the interchange of surplus between different parts of the Empire." HERE IS A SCOTTISH STORY wWITH DIAGRAM ATTACHED A new Scottish story has been going ‘he rounds of the press. The Advance noted it first in a Western newspaper, where it was coolly stated that it would aripeal to even the dourest Scot and would be appreciated by everyone astute'enough to understand it. It may be noted that there are no "dour Scots," except those who are dour because they feel that other than scottish blood makes them less than a match for their ain folks, which is enough to make even the Scotch dour. C The story as told by the Western paper aforesaid was in ‘brief as follows: A Scotchman went on a motor trip with his brother and as a result of the latter racing a Ford car an acciâ€" dent occurred in which his sister Alice was killed. Proceeding to the nearest telegraph office he discovered thai he could send only ten words at the minâ€" imum rate and this is how he broke the news to his people at home: sumer as i minera Zven so, adequate wontyâ€"ei "Sandy detained erased afford corâ€" rect allot analysis hurt dead." Now, after all the Scottish people have chuckled over that one, The Adâ€" vance appends herewith a diagram of that joke for the benefit of those who are not Scottish. Evidently the telegrapher who took that message and sent is over the wire was not a Scot and so it went as written.. The receiving telegrapher, however, was a Scotsman, and this is how he transcribed the message as he knew it was meant:â€"â€" An editorial article in The Mail and Empire last week says:â€" _ Sandy detained. He raced a ford car. Wrecked a lot, and Alice is hurt; in fact, she‘s dead."

The views he had expressed are in accord with the disâ€" cussions we had, except that it should be made clear that the terms of work, the Premier employed in the pass has, to my knowledge, no bearing on our connection with any compulsory work service. "I understand the Premier‘s intenâ€" tion is to encourage single men to move from urban centres, where large supâ€" plies of labour already exist, to rural districts where employment opportunâ€" ities may be created largely through highway construction work. It is also expected that the many unattached people who have been moving about the country on freight trains and otherwise termed transients may be also absorbed into employment in a similar way, thereby relieving urban centres of caring for the transient and single unemployed men. Accord with the views of Hon. George Henry, Premier of Ontario, in connection with the establishment of labour battalions in that province was expressed Friday by Hon. Gideon Roâ€" bertson, Minister of Labour. The Minister, however, made it clear that no suggestion of compulsory work was associated with the method the Preâ€" mier proposes to employ. "This," said the Minister, "will enâ€" able the municipalities in coâ€"operâ€" ation with the provincial and Federal authorities adequately to provide for family relief as the necessity may apâ€" pear. I am quite in accord with Mr. Henry‘s views, except, as I say, I wish no misunderstanding to arise as to what these labour battalions mean." Labour Battalions Will be Volunteers ancially. One life insurance company, The London Life, has been publishing its figures of new business written week by week for the past two months. It is noteworthy that the figures during that time have shown a much greater average than that for the year 1930. Another reassuring fact is that terâ€" minations of policies are considerably less. For this year to date they show an improvement of 7.8 p.c. with this company, with the greatest improveâ€" ment taking place in June, when terâ€" minations were almosi 11 p.c. less than in June 1930. Inssmuch as The London Life is a purely Canadian company and the largest Life Insurance company conâ€" fining its business to Canada, its figâ€" ures are particularly significant at this period in the country‘s history.

Montreal Gazette:â€" Labor members of the British Houszs of Commons who rthysically sustained an offending colleagueâ€"Mr. J.

Ottawa too, has experienced some unpleasant ‘"incidents" lately, though none have been of the violent kind that recently disturbed Westâ€" minster. Perhaps the troubles can be traced to the heat; or is it that the parliamentarians are striving to work to> hard? Though moratoriums are much in vogue just now, it may be too much to seek a moratorium for legisâ€" lation; but an early holiday for the legislators, both here and in England, might be for the good of their health. hen times are good, many people buy Life Insurance to add stability tc their financing. In times of depresâ€" sion, it provides the easiest way to reâ€" coup one‘s position, because it is posâ€" sible to set up an estate of practically Life Insurance figures have particuâ€" lar significance, because they fairly reâ€" present the condition of the financing of large proportion of the country‘s There is an irreducible minimum of business which must be transacted in order for people to live, and while some lines have been severely hit, others show favourable reports.

F. D. Reid, mine manager, stated that when he first looked Howey over. he had doubts about the property, but further investigation had made him change his views. He stated the value of the ore ran between $4 and $4.50 Reid stated that the present ore reâ€" serves would be worked out in about three years, but other zones should be encountered as the shafts are deepâ€" ened. In answer to a shareholder‘s question Reid stated that vein widths averaged about forty feet. Another shareholder asked if the refining process used by Howey was considered «good, and Reid said it was "very excellent." Directors were elected as follows: R. T. Birks, W. S. Cherry, J. E. Hammell, H. C. McCloskey and John A. Northâ€" way. The foregoing incident reminds us of a story told by a farmer when speakâ€" ing as a representative at a banquet of miners at Cobalt a few years ago: He said the first‘train which commenced running to New Liskeard was called "The Muskeg." One day a native bull, while standing on the track, saw the train approaching and promptly asâ€" sumed a fighting attitude by lowering his head, throwing dust over his back and muttering his contempt for red lights in general and railway engines in particular. In a moment the bull was lying with his back in the ditch and his feet in the air. A Scotchman, who was a witness to the encounter, said to the bull: I admire your nerve, but you showed very poor judgment." "With this increased production anc the resultant diminished costs per ton it is hoped that the entire obligation tc W. S.

"The company has now establishec itself as the eighth largest gold proâ€" ducing company in Ontario, and, wit} the early installation of additiona equipment, this position should be subâ€" stantially improved. J. E. Hammell was asked to speak, and stated that he thought Howey was coming "out of the woods" all right. It would take a little time to get things running smoothly, stated Hammell, but everything should be fine by the end of 1932 per ton, while costs would be roughly between $2.50 and $3, indicating a fair profit. Costs in June ran around $3.20 per ton, he said. yet available, it is anticipated that the production for June will be sufficient to pay the operating costs, the interest charges, the depreciation and reproâ€" duction charges. "Fraser D. Reid, manager of the mine, has recommended the immediate installation of equipment which will enable the mill to handle nine hunâ€" dred tons of mine ore per day. The costs of this expansion are relatively small, and it is expected that the new equipment will be in complete operâ€" ation before the end of the present "We believe that we have now deâ€" finitely rounded the corner and are on the upward grade.
